Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, skinny candy, sticky seeds with 50 acid popcorn kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that people see. Because Doug loves movies! Hey everybody. My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you from the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles in front of a name tag and sign carrying audience. Let's see what you got
Starting point is 00:00:46 over there. That's a big one. What does that say? Brendan? Brendo man? And why is it on such a big piece of paper? It's all I had. It's all you had. That's awesome. Somebody's got a McDLT looking thing or just a to-go box. A French dip. Alright.
Starting point is 00:01:01 That's gross. His name is Matt with the French dip. Then there's this really big one, and then his name is written really small on it. What does your name say? Steve Smith. All right. Well, when you have an exciting name like that,
Starting point is 00:01:14 you got to do what you can. Jenna's back with another very creative one. This is like a, her name is coming out of one of those guns. Like instead of pal, it says Jenna. All right. I like to describe for the listeners name is coming out of one of those guns like instead of pal it says Jenna. Alright. I like to describe for the listeners it's flag day June 14th to Ocean's Eleven. Did anybody
Starting point is 00:01:33 make a patriotic sign at all? No? Okay good. Very nice times were had by me taping two podcasts at the Main Stage Theater in Chicago last Thursday and Friday, Benson Interruption and the Douglas Movies, and they'll both be available in the comedy album section of iTunes. And for iTunes ignorers, you can get it at astrecords.com and douglasmovies.com. I also quite enjoyed myself in Charleston, South Carolina last Saturday night,
Starting point is 00:02:03 and I want to thank the people from Theater 99 for helping to put together my show over at the American Theater. Now, there was a cliffhanger of sorts at the end of last week's ep with a bleep over one of the names that I called a shithead. Who was here for that last week? Was anybody that's here now hear that? Okay. So you heard what happened. The idea behind the weekly naming of shitheads is that, you know, a consolation prize is given to people who lose the game, but their name tag was picked. So then they get to call anyone a shithead.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Like, I will say it for anyone that they want me to. I've never not said what the person wrote. But last week, I wasn't on top of the news. I didn't know there was a really horrible murder trial going on. And I did not recognize the name of the woman who was on trial for murdering her own baby. her own baby. And so in the moment I just thought, because sometimes
Starting point is 00:03:08 people say like a name of their friend or something, so I thought, oh, this person is just friends with someone with this name and they just think it's funny to call their baby a shithead. Because it was funny when Elton John's
Starting point is 00:03:24 baby as a shithead was a funny one. Everyone thought that was hilarious because it's just like, what a terrible thing to say about Elton John's baby. But Elton John's baby is healthy and alive, so I was okay with it and thought it was hilarious. So the last week I put a bleep over the thing because I would say it. It's not
Starting point is 00:03:46 like I wouldn't say it, but I would then comment on how I feel about saying it. I would say, this is inappropriate or this one's terrible. And then I'd say it. Because when I did say it last week, nobody really laughed. A few people kind of groaned. And then a couple days later, I was watching the
Starting point is 00:04:02 news and I slowly put it together. Like, oh, no. That baby's not a shithead. So I hope that makes you all not mad at me for bleeping it, because I do say horrible things all the time, but everyone draws a line somewhere, and for me, that's where I had to draw a line,
Starting point is 00:04:29 and I just want to say that the person who tried to get me to make fun of a dead two-year-old is definitely a shithead. I have a little post-it that I put on top of the thing that just says guest tips, things I tell them backstage. Because the guests are awesome that come on the show, and so I have like 30 seconds with them backstage
Starting point is 00:04:54 to explain what's going to happen. So this is what I said backstage tonight. Name tags, pick one, might have a shithead on the back. So we'll see what happens. Because people have just been reading those shithead on the back. So we'll see what happens, because people have just been reading the shitheads out loud as soon as they see it, and that's another funny wrinkle that I did not see coming.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Don't forget that my upcoming June 23-30 tour will be filmed for the greatest movie ever rolled, my latest ripoff of Morgan Spurlock. I'm going to go out on tour to raise money to make a movie about the tourer who I raised money to make a movie. It's very cyclical like that. It starts in Ann Arbor, Michigan
Starting point is 00:05:39 and ends up in Los Angeles, and those are the only two cities along the way where marijuana is somewhat legal. So that's going to be interesting. All of the dates of that tour are on DouglasMovies.com It's week number four of me not seeing Pirates 4
Starting point is 00:05:57 The Boston Stranger and I feel good. I feel like I can go with it forever. Alright, my guests tonight might be familiar to you if you like sports, movies, and television. Please welcome two returning favorites
Starting point is 00:06:18 and one new favorite, Bill Simmons, Adam Scott, and Jon Hamm. You're right, it's a handsome panel. I came for Bill Simmons, thank you. All right, that was... Do you get scared by that kind of thing, Bill? When there's just a loner over there going I came for Bill Simmons
Starting point is 00:07:07 I feel like the Chris Bosh of this panel alright that's the first one that went over my head me too it was a good one though trust me oh I'm sure it was
Starting point is 00:07:22 no that's awesome because I I like the idea of just having you on the show because it's my chance to ask someone who's a huge sports guy with regards to the subject of movies. What is your favorite chick flick? Bill Simmons, ESPN sports guy Pretty Woman
Starting point is 00:07:46 For reals? Yeah It's not a bad movie is it? Pretty Woman's a good movie It's about a hooker Who hasn't really done Enough sex yet That she's damaged goods
Starting point is 00:07:56 She doesn't have a drug problem And she wants to be rescued And when it comes to the point Where he's like You know you can be my mistress, and it's not good enough for her. She wants the whole thing. And it's a love story, and it works out.
Starting point is 00:08:10 So, yeah, I like that one. This feels like we're on a talk show where you knew I was going to ask that question. I tried to throw you a curveball, if I may use a sports thing, but... Well, you know what? Bill, I think you hit it out of the park. Thanks, Bill. Appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:08:32 John? Doug? No, I was thinking you might have one. A favorite chick flick? No. Well, sure. Or a sports metaphor. Analogy metaphor Swish That would have been really funny
Starting point is 00:08:49 If that's the very first thing you said After he said pretty woman Because then it would have a nice double meaning Do you have one favorite ladies movie? Rom-com? Easy. Well, there is some very specific nerdy action going on. Some guy over on this side is like,
Starting point is 00:09:15 Kissing Jessica Stein. That's a romantic comedy. That your girlfriend made. I want to marry both of you. Was that all subtext? No, the guy won't shut up. He's very quiet, though. I'm hearing it
Starting point is 00:09:33 and just repeating it. I couldn't quite catch it. It's like I have a thing in my ear and I'm a newscaster. I don't have a favorite chick flick at all. I don't like them.
Starting point is 00:09:44 I don't go to them. I don't care for them period what about did you see bridesmaids I did that's that's that the new that's the new chick flick for me that's like to make it a moment made him all I think it's a chick flick I'll say it out loud. It's ladies being ladies with other ladies at a wedding. There's not a lot of manly men movies that do that. There's not a lot of shoe talk. Even the deer hunter, you know, there was a big wedding, but then people got shot in the head. Well, any chick flick with Christopher Walken.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Yeah, that's true. That was the category for a while, Dead Man Walken, was movies where Christopher Walken died. And there's a lot more of them than I thought. And I didn't even go Pulp Fiction, because, you know, that's a flashback, and he's dead already in that part. I wouldn't even consider that a movie where he died.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Do we assume he died in any hall by driving across the road? Oh yeah, that guy did not live to be an old man. That character. I loved him in that. Did he die in the ping pong movie? Balls of Fury?
Starting point is 00:10:59 Was he a villain? He was, so maybe he did die. Did he die? He passed on. He probably choked on a ping pong ball. a villain? He was? So maybe he did die. Did he die? He passed on. He probably choked on a ping pong ball that was in somebody's scrotum or something. Something disgusting.
Starting point is 00:11:14 I didn't see it. Did anybody in the panel see Balls of Fury? No. Okay. I'm answering for the panel. So you don't like chick flicks? You don't like sports films? I don't like movies. You just don't like movies.
Starting point is 00:11:26 I should put it right out there up front early that I don't go to them. I hate working on them. And I just try not to patronize them. Here's one I bet you saw. Piranha 3D. Wasn't a fan of the cast. I didn't like anybody in that cast. Well, Adam Scott is here,
Starting point is 00:11:49 and he was one of the amazing people in that movie. There are a lot of amazing people in that movie. Yeah, it's got a great cast, and I'm trying to corral as many of them as I can to come down to CineFamily here in Los Angeles on July 31st. It's a Sunday night. Do you think you can do it?
Starting point is 00:12:12 I'm there. He's in. So Adam Scott is in. Jerry O'Connell has something about his wife. He has to go with her when she's making a movie because then he watches the twins. Her boobs? Yeah. Switch. like he has to go with her when she's making a movie and he watches the twins her boobs yeah switch is how do I need to see piranha 3d edges I think so if you're it's a Sunday night I don't know if there's a sporting event happening that evening that you have to
Starting point is 00:12:43 cover is it a man's deep blue sea or you have to cover. Is it a poor man's Deep Blue Sea or a rich man's Deep Blue Sea? It is a man with the same size pocketbooks. Deep Blue Sea. It's the same man's Deep Blue Sea. Yeah, it is. Although I dare to say that you'd probably be a little more intrigued because Deep Blue Sea made the fatal error of not killing women while they're topless, which Piranha 3D accomplishes repeatedly. Also, in Deep Blue Sea, if I remember correctly,
Starting point is 00:13:16 no one gets scalped with an outboard motor. That happens in Piranha 3D? Yeah, you saw it. The mayhem in that movie is so ridiculous that if I had a multiple choice quiz of what happened in that movie, anything goes.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Anything could have happened in that movie. When we're watching it at CineFamily, I'll point to it while it's happening. Yeah, please remind me. Doug, this is the part you didn't remember. So go to cinefamily.org. Everyone's here now live watching this at UCB. This is the first big sort of announcement about it in L.A.
Starting point is 00:13:52 So you can get all the tickets probably if you wanted them. And then more people will hear about this when this plops on Friday. Let's go back to Bill Simmons. Let's go ahead and do it. Greatest sports movie. I think it's Hoosiers. Ah, no. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:14:13 I didn't say it to agree with you. Airball. Airball. What I wouldn't give for a vizvuzla right now. What I wouldn't give to be in Venezuela right now. Some people say it's Bull Durham, but
Starting point is 00:14:34 I've seen Bull Durham in the Lifetime Network and that automatically disqualifies me. It's my room. It's more of a chick flick than Pretty Woman. Bull Durham is a chick flick where they play baseball. Hoosiers to me is you can jump in at any point,
Starting point is 00:14:47 any scene in the movie and just go right in and follow it for the last 45 minutes, hour, whatever and get caught up. I get mad at the coach. I've seen it so many times
Starting point is 00:14:56 that I get mad at the coach. That dude fucking hates Hoosiers so much he just got up and walked out. Fuck this. I don't know why that would be a disappointing pick to anyone. I guess with sports especially, people are just very opinionated.
Starting point is 00:15:20 It seems like it's Hoosiers, the natural, the first longest yard because it was like the groundbreaking sports movie that's in there. But then all of a sudden you get wild picks. Like some people think Breaking Away is the best sports movie ever. That's like the hipster pick. The crowd is making the best noises tonight. Yeah, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:15:46 I love Breaking Away. See, that's the hipster pick. But I don't know if I'd make it number one. I might go Original Rocky. First one that didn't get any disagreement.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Not a lot of support either, but... I will say, if you watch the Original Rocky, it's pretty slow. Oh, super slow. That was the worst thing about Rocky 6, is it was as slow as Rocky 1.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Right. But at least they were both good while being slow. And then Rocky 2 was so slow that Adrienne actually went into a coma. That's how slow it was. She literally did. And we had to go through the coma for like 12 minutes. It was just coma footage of her in the bed in a coma.
Starting point is 00:16:26 I'm glad she came out of it, though, because I love her son. I love all of his movies. You know, the son aged eight years between Rocky IV and Rocky V. I don't know if you ever noticed that. Wasn't he also, in one of them, developmentally disabled or something? Just briefly. Oh, okay. We found
Starting point is 00:16:46 a cure. You got a disease. We found a cure. What's your favorite sports movie, Adam? Are you going to ask me what my favorite chick flick is? Is there one that's a combo
Starting point is 00:17:01 like Rudy? You mean like a sports flick and a chick flick? Yeah. Yeah, Schindler's List. Schindler's List. Goal! I don't know. I don't know. I like your honesty.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Well, let me ask you guys this. You shot a film Very recently In New York Adam and John Sit this one out Bill And that's sort of A romantic comedy isn't it? Yeah
Starting point is 00:17:55 Yes What's it called? It's called Friends with Kids What's it about? It's called Friends With Kids. What's it about? People with kids that have friends. Can I get an assist? So they just dish it to you and you can drive the lane?
Starting point is 00:18:21 In all seriousness, it's about a bunch of friends that have kids. But it's about that turning point where some have kids and some don't, and some people are trying to decide if they want them, that kind of thing? Yeah, basically. It's a group of friends who start to have kids, and then some of the friends don't have kids, and what happens when all the people in your life start having kids and you don't, and you feel like a total douchebag.
Starting point is 00:18:45 It reminds me of Friends with Money where some people had money and other people didn't have money. It's also a lot like a movie, Friends with Benefits, where some of the friends have benefits and then some of the friends don't have benefits. Oh, there's some benefitless friends and friends with benefits?
Starting point is 00:18:56 A lot of friends don't have benefits. Oh, shit. Now I'm into it because I don't want to see... What's her name naked? Justin Timberlake? Yeah. Cool. Let's make sure that I covered everything
Starting point is 00:19:14 that I needed to cover. Oh, I have a favorite online app trivia game that I play every day. It's called Crank with a Q. Some other people apparently like it. And Bill Simmons, have you ever played it? It's got a
Starting point is 00:19:29 whole sports edition every day. Crank? Yeah, and if you played it, I think you'd enjoy it. It only takes a few minutes and it's a lot of fun. But anyway, everybody should sign up because the day this episode that we're taping right now plops, for one week on Crank, there's going to be just an individual game that you can play a one
Starting point is 00:19:46 off if you will called Doug loves crank and it's entirely questions about me and this podcast and I played it and you can get like 12,000 points on it or something like that I got like 8,113 or something like that which is the highest score I've ever gotten on any
Starting point is 00:20:02 crank game but still not anywhere near perfect. By the way, if Doug Loves Crank was a movie, I would not go see that. No, I'm a little worried. That's not a great thing to be putting out there, that I love crank. Because I am not a gateway person. I did not go through the gate. It would star Jason Statham though as you
Starting point is 00:20:25 So it would be totally fine You would have to know that Some bad guy sets it up So he has to remain high or he will die Oh that's going to be awesome I'm going to start making some calls So what do you say we play the Leonard Maltin game? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:49 Yes. It's a lot of signage tonight. Is there a release date for Friends with Kids with Benefits? No, it'll go to the festivals, hopefully Toronto. Oh, Toronto. Yes. Are you guys both going to go there for the Toronto Film Festival? Totally. Well, I'm going to try to go up there and tape
Starting point is 00:21:08 some podcasts up there, so maybe we can hook it up. We'll be there. Absolutely not. Alright, so John's in for Toronto, but you're out. But you are in for Piranha on July 31st. I'm not coming to Piranha. And you're not going to come to that. Because you don't go to movies. No, I don't like them.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Alright, then I'm not going to Toronto. I really established this, that I do not like movies. I want to keep hammering that over the head. Larry Zerner, my friend Larry Zerner, who's been on the show, he suggested that I use the Roger Ebert has a new iPhone app for the Leonard Maltin game. And I said,
Starting point is 00:21:39 are you crazy? Lenny's my man. Well, maybe for one week. So I'm not going to spring it on you guys now, but at some point, we may pay a Roger Ebert edition. You're not going to spray it on us right now? Yeah, I'm not going to take it out
Starting point is 00:21:55 and spray it on you. No, I'm not going to spring it on you, I meant to say. But someday, maybe there'll be an Ebert edition. I don't even know why I'm telling you guys that that was boring maybe that'll be
Starting point is 00:22:09 in the crank the Doug Loves Crank trivia maybe no no the questions have already been made up but
Starting point is 00:22:16 I'm gonna put a really long bleep over what I just said I'm gonna bleep that entire thing people will lose their minds thinking it was something really important we'll leave the door open for
Starting point is 00:22:25 Doug Loves Crank 2. Also starring Jason Statham. Well, yeah, because it can't, no matter how high you get, you can't overdose on it. That's the one where you can't get Jason Statham. You get like Dolph Lundgren for that one. A lot cheaper. How does Dolph Lundgren end up being like
Starting point is 00:22:43 pals with the Expendables after he tried to kill all of them? That has driven me crazy. Do you think they all looked at each other and went, who invited Jet Li? We're a bunch of old, over 40 white dudes, and there's this awesome young Asian star Come on, man I think Stallone wanted to tower over one person
Starting point is 00:23:11 In the cast, so that was the one Alright, let's play the Leonard Maltin game If you guys could pick some name tags From the audience Oh my god, what did that guy just yell? Say it again. Oh shit. Jon Hamm picked the roast beef
Starting point is 00:23:36 sandwich. That's pretty awesome. If it wasn't for Jon Hamm, it would be a little on the nose. This guy won me over by defaming two of the Lakers. Oh, that's what just happened? Yeah. And what does his name tag say? Ken.
Starting point is 00:23:56 Ken. All right. Good job, Ken. He took a piece of cardboard and wrote Ken on it. And it also has Woot on there. Of course, I mention Woot every week. And then what do you have there, Adam? Check out what Jason made.
Starting point is 00:24:09 A Lincoln log. It's a log with his name Jason spelled out in pennies. I love it. Don't turn it around because it's got a shithead on the back. It's weird, though, because if you look at it up close, you can't tell what it says, but then you hold it back and you're like, oh, Jason.
Starting point is 00:24:25 I'm going to go home and look at a bunch of pennies on my desk and see if they accidentally spell anything. You know the weird thing about pennies, and this is totally true, if you drop a bunch of pennies on a table and it's only pennies, no matter how you drop them, they always spell out
Starting point is 00:24:41 a name. they always spell out a name. We also have the prizes here that are going to go to either Jason or Ken or... What's the... Matt. Matt is the sandwich. Chaser? You guys know this movie, Chaser?
Starting point is 00:25:00 IFC Films contributed or gave me a bunch of movies. Also another one called Summer Hours. That's a Criterion collection, right? Yeah, but the box and the name seems like it's going to be a really long feminine hygiene commercial. And then John Hamm was nice enough to bring something I don't think you're supposed to give away.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Watch this Emmy Awards consideration. It's never too early, Doug. watch this Emmy Awards consideration get the campaign going you're directing the first episode this season correct I am you smoke more or less cigarettes doing that. That gig. That's going to be tricky. I remember when Priestley started directing 90210. It was never the same. I just want to make sure.
Starting point is 00:25:53 That's right about the time he started racing cars. Anything to feel again. So John signed one of these. It's got Breaking Bad in it, which is an awesome show. And he wrote, don't sell this on there. And then the other one is signed by, it's like a booklet with stuff in it about the shows on AMC, signed by Adam Scott as Don Draper.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Yeah. And I have wood monkeys as per usual. And I'm going to shoot one into the crowd. And... You know, my kids had a couple of those wood monkeys in our house for a while, and that fucking noise... I drowned them in a bucket of water the monkeys
Starting point is 00:26:48 the monkeys really make that clear given doug's history with yeah there's gonna be so many bleeps in this episode i just don't want anyone to call my kids a shithead. Well, we'll see. Do you have a shithead on the back of this one? No. Okay, so we'll figure out who the shitheads are a little later.
Starting point is 00:27:16 There's not one on the back of the to-go box. With the sandwich in it. I think the sandwich is the shithead in this episode. Highly possible. Okay, so let's start down here with Adam, then we'll move around to John and then Bill. Bill is new to the game, but I have a feeling he's a strong competitor. I'm not worried.
Starting point is 00:27:38 Nonetheless. He's not even worried about it, you guys. Of course, Adam and John have... Adam's been great in the past. John, you've done all right at this. Yes. Okay. A gentleman on Twitter named
Starting point is 00:27:52 at J Spanbauer, B-A-U-E-R, like Jack Bauer, he suggested, since it's Flag Day, movies with either the word red or white or blue in the title. So all the movies that have red, white, or blue in the title. Krzysztof Kozlowski.
Starting point is 00:28:09 He did all three of those, yeah. And foreign films rarely come up on this game. And so those are all wrong. And that means Adam has three points. That's the end of our game. We did it, you guys.
Starting point is 00:28:27 Yeah, so you get two more categories to choose from, Adam. We also have, it's Donald Trump's birthday on the day this is being recorded. So that piece of shit. He was in some movies, believe it or not. I can't think of any I mean I thought of three but and then
Starting point is 00:28:50 someone what were the three that'll be part of the game Bill if I just blurt them out right now it would be silly Krzysztof Kozlowski and then your
Starting point is 00:29:03 third category would be from a guy named Tight Five Five. Which I want to know how similar that is to a Fast Five. He suggested Potent Potables. Popular Jeopardy category, but this would be movies with some sort of alcoholic beverage in the title. So which one of those would you like, Adam? The red, white, and blue, Donald Trump, or
Starting point is 00:29:30 potent potables? All three of these categories sound awful. Yeah, they don't really help to narrow it down. Yeah, I'll take the third one. Potent potables? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Is it alcoholic beverages only, I'll take the third one. Potent Potables? Yeah. Okay. Is it alcoholic beverages only or any sort of liquid? It's all alcohol. Thank you. Each one of these has an alcohol in it. So what if it's Diet Coke? Not only is Diet Coke not alcohol, but also they've yet to make a movie with the name Diet Coke not alcohol, but also they have yet to make a movie with the name Diet Coke.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Okay, got it. There was a Coca-Cola kid, though, once. Was it there? There was. Yeah, okay. You get to pick a year, Adam. Would you like 1988, 1997, or 2006? I'll take 98, 2007
Starting point is 00:30:26 just make up your own years and hopefully I'll be able to quickly find something 88, 97 or 2006 I'll take 06 please okay Leonard Maltin gives this movie 2 stars I can't really
Starting point is 00:30:42 I think it's better than that he says that movie two stars. I can't really... I think it's better than that. He says that it's way over the top. Yeah, seven A's in way. I think that's over the top. But harmless
Starting point is 00:31:02 enough for the undemanding. Which is, that's what I go for when I buy my movie ticket, is something that I have to be completely undemanding. And then also he says that Donald Sutherland appears unbilled. And there are ten names. How many names do you think you can get it in? This movie that has alcohol in the title. Adam Scott.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Ten names? Ten total, yeah. Start the bidding. Yeah. I think I could probably... Let's use the microphone. I think I could probably get it in two. Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Strong opening bit. So now Jon Hamm is stuck with having to say either name that movie or go lower into one or zero names. Wow. Didn't mean to throw you into the lion's den here, Bill, but these are your options. You can either say to Jon Hamm, name that movie, in which he will have to just name it without hearing any of the names. I'll read the clues again if he wants.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Or you could say, I can name that movie in negative names and pick a number of how many names you think you can list from the top of the cast list going down. I'm going to say name that movie. All right, good call. Beer Fest. The name of the movie is Beer Fest,'m gonna say name that movie all right good call your fist the name is the movie is beer fest that's right John I was just gonna tell you don't leave the games no I knew it too you know I said to only because I needed to stall cuz I I couldn't remember the name ready to go I knew it too You know I said two Only because I needed to stall Because I
Starting point is 00:32:46 I couldn't remember The name of it But I knew it was That movie But I thought It would somehow Buy me time If I said two
Starting point is 00:32:54 And I was just wrong I just handed it to John But I think no matter What number you would have said Any number He would have gone zero Because you had it Yeah
Starting point is 00:33:02 But the problem was I would have had to Have named cast members, right? To trumpet? Yeah, yeah. And I had to name one person from that movie. Donald Sutherland.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Yeah. You know, you can't get away with just saying Broken Lizard. That would be great if that was the first name. Who was the top billed person in that movie? Forte?
Starting point is 00:33:19 Jay Chandraskar. It's Chandraskar. Who also, you know, directs a lot of their stuff. Maybe even this. Yeah, he directed this. It's funnier than two stars. I'll say that for sure.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Okay, so Jon Hamm has a point. I'm really mad now. Jon, you step up. When you don't win at this game, you walk away angry. Well, first of all, you jumped out of order. I don't know how we went from him to him to me. Yeah, we're going around in a circle. Clockwise.
Starting point is 00:33:57 I even said at the beginning, we're going to go Adam, John, and then Bill. But that's cool. Bill, don't worry. You'll be able to step up to the plate. Okay. Adam gets to start us off again. So this might create a vicious circle where the same thing happens every time.
Starting point is 00:34:20 But I was just in Charleston, South Carolina, and some films were either shot partially or shart. They were either shot partially or completely in Charleston, South Carolina, so I thought that would be fun to do. In Theaters Now is a category about movies that are actually in theaters now, hopefully a thousand or more theaters. Just in a lot of theaters. It's a category for the uninitiated
Starting point is 00:34:45 to make it a little easier for them. Although I got fucked once in theaters now because you chose a movie that was in one city. It was probably Rabbit Hole. No, it wasn't Rabbit Hole. Because I got a lot of grief because I gave Sam Levine grief for when he ran the game.
Starting point is 00:35:00 Hey, off the dead kids, Doug. Now, are you saying Sam Levine is dead now, or you know something's going to happen between now and Friday when this episode pops? Adam actually drowned Sam Levine in a bucket. Going to do it Thursday. I'm going to miss little Wolverine.
Starting point is 00:35:24 So anyway, in theaters now or States, that's movies where a state in this country of ours here on Flag Day. United States. United States of America.
Starting point is 00:35:33 One of those is in the title. Which one of those would you like to play, Adam? I'll take the States. Awesome. Choice. 1978,
Starting point is 00:35:44 1991, or 1999? Come on, be a man. What does that mean? Go old school. Come on. 78? Yeah. Oh, that's what you're pushing for.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Yeah. You know what? I'm going to be a giant pussy and go... 78, 91, 99. I'm going to go 99. All right. Two stars for Mr. Leonard Maltin
Starting point is 00:36:27 for this movie that has a state in the title. I don't believe I've ever watched it. So, good call, Leonard. He says that this movie only has one actor that is able to rise above the material. And he also says that the person, the main creative person involved
Starting point is 00:36:52 in this movie should stick to television. I know. That's pretty fucking harsh, especially considering how great television is. Those shows on AMC should stick to where they belong on television. Okay, so Adam, how many names do you think you can get it in out of 11? I'll go 5.
Starting point is 00:37:27 Strong opening bid. Jon Hamm? 4. Now Bill gets to play. You can either make him name it or go 3. Okay, 3. Name that movie. Alright.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Do you want the clues again? Clues are 2 stars from Leonard Maltin. One of the actors is the only one to rise above the material. The man who, creator of this movie, should stick to television. And your three names are... Wow. Little Richard. are Wow little Richard The only movie I could think of that he was in was down and out in Beverly Hills and Beverly Hills is not a state
Starting point is 00:38:28 Mike Myers and Michael McKeon of Lenny and the squig toes so those are you three names yeah I think Mike Meyer I'm not gonna say anything little Richard Mike Myers Michael McKean, and the state is in the title. Got anything for us? I don't. Nothing? No. It's going to be an extra burn on you. I feel like I overbid. It's an extra burn on you because it's a sports movie.
Starting point is 00:38:57 With Mike Myers? Yeah. What sport does Mike Myers play in his spare time? Oh, I know what movie this is. What is it? Mystery Alaska. That's correct. Mystery Alaska.
Starting point is 00:39:07 What was Little Richard doing in Mystery Alaska? I don't know. He must have maybe like, maybe like it's a shitty team, so like he sang the national anthem or something. I would pay money to see that guy on skates. I think he would do it for cheap. Oh, Tootie Fruity, Tootie Fruity.
Starting point is 00:39:30 Okay, so... I should have gotten that one. Little Richard threw me off. I would have been thinking Hockey with Myers, but the Richard thing... It's a tough game in that sense. I actually like Mystery Alaska. I would have given it two and a half stars.
Starting point is 00:39:42 Didn't Jay Roach direct it? Yeah, yeah, it was directed by Jay Roach. Russell Crowe is the star. Didn't Adam Scott just get a second point? No, he's got one point. One point. Jon Hamm has a point. We're still going. Keep the microphones hot.
Starting point is 00:39:59 So who was not involved in that little skirmish? Jon Hamm was out of that one, so we'll let you pick the next category. Would you like a movie that has who, what, where, when, why, or how in the title? Or the films of Michael Rooker? He was a guest and I'm obsessed with him now. And let's go back to Charleston, South Carolina.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Because I had a great time there. Which means in theaters now? No. Movies that take place in Charleston, South Carolina. I will go, who, it's who, what, where, when, why, or how. One of those words is in the title. That. You got it.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Not that is not in the title. No, no, no, it's not in the title. It's not who, what, where, when, why, or that. Would you like a who, what, where, when, why, or how movie from 1971, 1980, Where, When, Why or that. Would you like a Who, What, Where, When, Why or How movie from 1971, 1980 or 2008? What was the first one? 71. My birth year. Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:56 1971. Here we go. You know everything about your birth year. Just what it is. All right. I'm going to tell you guys right now, I'm going to put a timer on guessing this answer because I'll be stunned if anyone gets it.
Starting point is 00:41:11 We got a show to end. Two stars from Leonard Mullen. I don't know. I was very little when it was out. He calls it a sickie. He calls the movie a sickie. That's the first word in the review. Sickie. How does he spell it? With a Y
Starting point is 00:41:27 or an I-E? I-E. It's a sickie about. I'm not going to tell you what it's about. And then he also says that it's um Wow. One of the characters in it is Daffy. He's really pulling out some old words.
Starting point is 00:41:47 For this movie from 1971. You mean Daffy Duck, right? I don't think so. It's a small D. Two stars, like I said, 1971. It has who, what, where, when, why, or how in the title. And there are only six names. How many names do you think you can get it in Jon Hamm seven if one of the names is
Starting point is 00:42:12 the first letter word of the title six six six six six six I'll start with six. Sean says six. BS, what do you say? I'll go five. Name that movie. Oh, mother. Oh, the Lincoln Log paid off, Jason. Because this is going to be tough. Don't say things out loud. Don't ruin the game.
Starting point is 00:42:50 Okay, your five names are Hugh Griffith, Lionel Jeffries, Ralph Richardson, Chloe Franks, and Mark Lester. I'd argue to say the one remaining name might tip it, but this is from 1971, and it has one of those words in the title, it's sicky and it's daffy.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Well, you got your wish for the old movie. It's a little too old. Yeah, yeah, too old and too weird. I'll say What's Up Doc? That's a good guess, because it has the word what in it, and I bet it came out three or four years after that. Yeah, yeah, it's a very good guess.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Does anyone here think they know it? Come on. It's brutal. Who does? Who slew Auntie Rue? That's correct. Wow. A dude in the audience just said, Who slew Auntie Rue? I have never heard of that movie.
Starting point is 00:43:40 I put that one in there just to fuck with everybody because I've heard that title a bunch of times in my life, but I've never actually seen Who Slew Auntie Rue. And the star of it is the late, great Shelley Winters. Yeah, so I don't know if that would have helped at all. No. She's a Shelley Winters fan over there. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:43:57 But congratulations to... So who won? Adam won. Adam Scott won for Jason. Now, is Adam going to keep the name tag Jason are you going to go home penniless
Starting point is 00:44:10 alright that was fun that's funny because backstage I was just talking about how annoying it is when people win by just saying name that movie
Starting point is 00:44:20 and that's exactly what I did you know life is crazy sometimes maybe we'll have you compete against some audience members and that's exactly what I did. You know, life is crazy sometimes. Maybe we'll have you compete against some audience members on July 31st at CineFamily. Here you go, Jason.
