This is Doug Loves Movies. Perfection. Coming to you once again from Rooster's, formerly Rooster Teeth Feathers, if you're nasty, it's Sunnyvale, California! Woo! Woo! Woo!

Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! It's Saturday, November 9th, 2024 at 420ish. We got a little earlier start today and then 420 rolls around. I'm just going to have to sit here and be glad I had some edibles. There's no reason to wait. Let's get to everybody's favorite part of the show, and that's Doug Plugs. Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs! I can't stop the enthusiasm for it.

This Monday, which is tonight, if you're listening to this recording the day it comes out, complicated, November 11th in other words, at Dyson Typer in Los Angeles, it's the Benson movie interruption, your choice edition, bring a movie, maybe we'll watch it. No VHS or laser discs, please. Tues, November 19th, Douglas Movies is back at the lab at the Improv in Los Angeles, and I'm doing a standup in Sweet Home San Diego the night before Thanksgiving. It's kind of an annual thing. On November 27th at the American Comedy Club,

cacaw! For all my dates and deets and links go to www.dougdougmovies.com. That's www.dougdougmovies.com. Yeah! Kaka! Shhh! Is that a dance? That was so beautiful. If I had to wear the college set I'd say give yourselves a round of applause.

But let's move on. Damn, that was good. Let's look at what's in the prize bag. I alluded to this earlier before the show began, when I was just interviewing an audience that it's not the greatest stuff. I was just between you and the audience that it's not the greatest stuff. But it is a fun little bag. A fortune cookie. A pipe for my friends at Peacebanger, which is a rubber, you can chuck it in a situation.

You know, like if you realize it's in your pocket before you go through TSA you can just you know get rid of it. It's considered to be disposable. It's from a company called Peacemaker Gear and they send me lots of them and I love them and I got some pins from a company called oh my god really called I don't even, I've been saying that name for years. Now I can't think of it. But if it comes into my head during the show, I'll just blurt it out. Whether it's Duck Dance and Pimp, and then one of those movies, Rockin' Pimp. And then, things would be a lot better than I thought they would.

From our friends at Hembrew, this is a, not only is it a grinder, but it's also a container and it has a lid on it. And so you can't, people can't smell it. You got a pocket full of ground up weed. And it's very weed heavy, this particular bag, but also some Dumb Lousy stickers. But I tell you, this little bag, it's also insulated, so you can put like cold things in there. So like if you just wanted to take like one piece of salmon

from one of those things, you'd do another. But I think you'd really be in business. I think you'd be pretty proud of yourself. You'd be pretty happy to be alive. Alright, so my three guests on stage today are gonna battle it out to determine which one audience member goes home with this bag. But of course the winner can share with others here in the room if they want to. I've seen that happen in the past. Okay, let's get my guests up here. What did he say?

Is everybody ready? We've got some hilarious dudes that are all in the area for various reasons and we'll get into that and a lot more with them after we get them out here. Please give it up everybody for Ben Kalina! Johnson and Matt O'Brien We could walk back here in that same order. We didn't discuss it ahead of time. But, oh, that was really impressive. Sure, we got it. This is my merch. It's a magnet I sell after shows and it says,

I love taking loud hot pisses at Costco. All right. So I think you have to be more excited. It's hard to talk. Some of the items that are in this bag. I like the magnet aspect of it. It's easy for some reason. I was wondering when I showed up in my Panda Express

while you asked for the fortune cookie. That's all I do is walk around all day. Hey, you got something for the bag, man? Who's got something for the bag? I used to have each of the guests on stage all bring something to the prize bag. And then they all started to get competitive about it. Like they had to bring the best thing, the most things, the thing they had the longest story about. So I was like, fucking off, let's get away some shit. But you can go back and listen to that stuff because there is a lot in the archives.

Holy shit, this is our like 1500 and something episode. But let's meet my guests individually This is our like 1500 and something episode. But let's meet my guests individually and alphabetically by first name, which is how I brought them over in the first place. I didn't even tell which side of this paper we're supposed to be on right now. Uh, he is a Bay Area comedy phenom.

Joining us for the third time is Ben Kalina! Thank you for having me. Thank you for being here, Ben. Let's see what I wrote down to ask you. Would you say the third time might be the charm? That's what I'm hoping. Have you ever won? I don't think you've ever won on the show. No, I'm really kind of bad at knowing about movies. Why am I inviting you back? Because we have fun, right?

We have a good time. I never walk away going, Yeah, asshole. I know a lot about the movies. Oh, shit. Shit, well, you know what? I'm just going to take a glance and say, it won't even come up today. It turns out Indians aren't in any of the questions or the answers. But there's some other stuff in there that you might appreciate.

We'll see how it goes, but thank you of course for being here. Joining us for the first time is this comedian who is actually headlining this very roosters this weekend. It's Bo Johnson! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Thank you for having me. Thank you for being here and clocking in early as it is, as you could say, because you have two shows tonight? Thank you for the opportunity. No, we have one show. One show tonight and it's at 7 o'clock because in Rooster you gotta get the show in early because you gotta get up early the next day to make noise. You know, you have to start your pro-ing in the morning. But, uh, huge crowd though coming for the show tonight.

If you didn't already get tickets, you might be out of luck. Some people do a double header when they come see Douglas Williams. Is anybody coming to see Bo tonight? So, who in the studio are you getting out to between the shows? I mean, that parking lot used to do one go streaming. Because that's where we used to go between shows to the smoke. It was just out in that parking lot. May I tell you something about him?

You don't know this, we've met once before. You were the first comedian, I mean, first or second comedian, was that you performed at my dorm in college. Whoa! What college? University of Washington. Came, I don't know, one of the,

Perry dorm, Perry Hall. Probably a game you were dreading for months. Did it go okay? It went good, yeah. Oh good. It went good. The lobby of the cafe of the dorm and... Oh yeah, terrible setup for a show.

Yeah, but we didn't know. I thought that's just what comedy was. It was even in the daytime, right? It was probably during the day. Like the noon hour when you can do the call of the... Yeah, holy shit. I'm remembering it vividly. I did not have a good time. But that's how college shows are. Everybody can be loving it, but they're not like, you know, they're not trained comedy audience members yet.

And especially in daylight, where we can see each other's faces. They didn't seem to be enjoying me that much, but if you're reporting back that it went well, then that's all I need to know. Yeah, I did a survey. Well, you didn't hear anybody walk around, like, that sucked! I went to school, I think I got a survey. Well you didn't hear anybody walk around like, that sucked! I went to school, I think I got an imposter. I think you're super, maybe you're promoting the show,

and you had imposter's and took photos with everyone afterwards. Yeah, that's what it's really all about, is making that personal connection and keep on... actually a few bomb. Also joining us is a gentleman, we've got all kinds here today because he, I don't think he ever loses when he's on the show. It's Matt O'Brien! I thought you were going to like, Picking a bomb! I mean, by segway, we'll throw people for a loop. Yeah.

But, uh, you've won every time you've been out? I, okay, I lost the last one. Oh, you did? I don't know if that counts, cause the games, We were talking about this outside. There was a Halloween game where it was like, You guess, it was too hard for everybody. It was too hard. It was a, guess the Halloween movie and if there's a, game where it was like you guess it was too hard for everybody. It was too hard

it was out against the Halloween movie and if there's a Sub title or not the sub title after it. You know what I mean like Friday the 13th or the 6th one What is it? Some people are into that shit Some people know that like, you know, I could make most of the Star Wars movies the correct titles Yeah, but it's complicated as fuck. You gotta remember the episode name, you gotta remember to say Star Wars every time. You gotta say Star Wars.

You gotta make that. When you're talking about Star Wars. You don't know the order where they put the X's, it's so confusing. But anyway, hopefully none of that will happen today, but you are good at this stuff. It's me and Jeff Tate. I don't know if you're Jeff Tate level, but you just haven't had enough appearances yet. We established that he's been on like 200 times. And this is your fourth.

What I'm hearing is that this is an underdog story and no one should be reading it. That's on here too. I think that's fair. Okay, so we got our guests. We've introduced them all. Now I put them to the movie knowledge test, or I should say taste, because I want to know I'd like each one of you to recommend one movie Matt's been through this the most and most recently four times because that's the thing about your appearances they've been only within this year right that's right yeah so he's really been winning enough to just keep coming back and what's your recommendation for us today if you could just recommend one movie for us. Here's the last movie I watched. I watched

Trap, the last movie you watched. But I recommended it. Okay sorry I got a head view? Okay. I'll shut up now. I watched Trap, that Josh Hartnett. Right. It's bad. But you guess not how you talk about that movie. You don't call it that Josh Hartnett, you call it that M. Night Shyamalan. Yes. Because he is an auteur. We're involved.

And Josh Hartnett is a puppet. Yes. But it was, I watched it on plane. That's what M. and M. Night Shyamalan said, sort watched it on a plane. That's what M and M9 Sam was that sort of neat puppet master. I'm gonna say Mock-a-Lit. Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, Mock-a-Lit, I finished it and I was like, fuck, that's stunk, but... This is the very next message you're sending with this because... I recommend that sticky fuck shit, Phenom. If you watch it on a phone, on a loud flight.

Okay, Matthew. I saw somebody post, maybe it was you, did you post about it? Maybe. On social media? Matthew Stark? This movie sucks, everyone should watch it. I saw somebody wrote, I'm sorry I can't give them credit, the makers of this film, it feels like they've never been to a concert.

Yes. Because it takes a lot of it to have a concert. Yeah, it's like a... It doesn't feel right. Don't raise your hand flat. of it to have a concert. Yeah, it's like a... Maybe it doesn't feel right. Don't ask that question. Don't raise your hand flat. Don't ask that question.

It takes place at like, well it's like a Taylor Swift concert, but then they wander around to get food for like 40 minutes and come back and she's still finding the same song. Like every two minutes... That's more like a dead concert. But he's so like, he's like, I'm gonna get out of here. He goes like, shit, and then comes back and then he's like, they're still going. Also, it takes place in Toronto where I'm from, so it kind of took me out of it. So, anytime something takes place in Toronto, and they put like US taxis...

Oh, they're trying to make it like it's New York? Like it's New York. God forbid something takes place in Canada that's not about us. They pan around, shove the TO tower, and it's New York? Like it's New York. Oh, that's true. God forbid something takes place in Canada that's not about Bob. Okay. They pan around, show the TO tower, it's like, what? First of all, tell the scene. The TO tower. Thank you.

Oh, nice. Nice, now what did I say about answers from the audience? I gave a very stern lecture pre-show. But that was more like important information that had nothing to do with movies. Is anyone recording this? Don't destroy Hackler. If anyone is recording this, you're on a podcast. I'm not videoing. We want the video to destroy Hackler.

Oh, thank you. That's one thing, I don't know, for better or worse, I don't know how everybody here feels about it, but I've really insisted, well, podcasts all move into the future and every single one, there's video now. I've insisted on keeping it audio only. Do people like that? Yeah. Yeah. That's why you're here.

People that wish they were on video, they stay home and they miss it dutifully. Yeah. Okay. All right, so, is it Dudley. No. All right, so good recommendation. Thanks. You really get better from here. Ben, what's your recommendation?

I think you drive a lot. Fantastic, Bill. It's a lot of good San Francisco history and method. I highly recommend it. It sounds really like it might feel comparable. Oh, because we're in our own rise of replaying it. Because we didn't hire that much minions for these long rides. It's really bad. These are the good kind of minions. These guys are false. They have a little yellow weirdo, they're so weird.

Don't talk about them that way. What's your favorite fruit, man? My favorite fruit? Fruit, yes. Banana. Yes. They say banana a lot. You know what I'm saying?

Banana. All these years I haven't developed a mini impression. Can you do the voice of a Minion? I can, but it's funny. My niece likes to say, she goes, I saw your momma's brothers the other day. She goes, it's the Minions. I think I'm actually a Minion of movies. I think I'm speaking Minion right now. What are their abilities? Oh man, they're not good. Okay, so it's called Rise of Gru, colon, Minions? No, it's Minions colon Rise of Gru. Oh, the other way around, sorry.

You don't want to get that wrong. Holy shit. That's a completely different movie when you're switching. Okay so what about... Why are you so into the Minions movie? You said if anything with Minions in it? Like, yeah, when they had their own movie, was that too much of a hit? It feels new every time. But there's a bunch, there's like, you know, Gru and the kids and then a bunch of minions, but then they got their own movie. People said, it kind of felt like they were like, oh, we don't need a whole minions movie. That's why Gru's probably mad. I like it because I want to think about it.

That's what I think. It's very visually funny. Like, you know, it works internationally, I bet. Yeah, it's more like Mr. Bean. I'll be Mr. Bean next. I'll be Mr. Bean, I'll be the Mr. Bean does. I think Mr. Bean is like the baby. Charlie Chaplin. Well, not so much.

I don't like the old stuff. Did you say that movie recommendations were going to get better after me? I did, but you know, I think more people should give... I haven't seen this particular one, but I've seen the Despicable Knees and that one Minions movie. I just haven't gotten around to this one yet. Have you been on a ride in the Universal Studios? No, I don't really travel much. South Bay is as south as you go, huh?

I'm getting sidelined watching Minions most of the time. Oh yeah, I'll get inside and watch the minions most of the time. Would you just lose your mind if they made a minions movie where they all played baseball? Oh, that's my dream, yeah. You should write it, minions play baseball. I like doing that, but the minions haven't done it yet. They play for a whole movie to play, right? Well, I didn't watch that movie, so... They play for a whole movie to play, right? I didn't watch that movie, so...

Yeah, they have a game, and vampires are super good at it, apparently. They would be. And softball. Alright, so yeah, Matt, you were right, it's not getting better. We've got Edmund Shyamalan and Josh Hartnett's Trap and Vivian's Cullen writing Groot. I don't think he'd like the second ability to the menus like that. They are the real stars. Yeah, they sure are. And Bo, what have you got for us?

I am kind of torn because I feel like there actually are some pretty good movies on the Alaska flight catalog. Which when you watch a good movie on a flight, I think it hits even harder. It's not like you're at a good meal at a gas station. You weren't expecting to cry on that plane. The movie I watched when the flight came off in the 90s, and so I feel like maybe I'll recommend something that has more current life that needs support.

I love it. I saw a movie called Secret Mall Department, and it's a documentary about a group of artists that built a secret apartment in the Providence, Rhode Island Mall back in the, I believe in the 2000s. I know it is still the 2000s for another thousand years, but... the before 2000s. And these people that built it just gave a documentarian access, but they still,

the documentarian had to also not build their cover that they were in that mall? So they just came, they built the apartment a long time ago, and the way that they kind of shot the film, this is more expository, less comedy, I'm sorry, but, it was a group of artists who, they, as a prank, were like, how long can we spend in the mall? And then they kind of found the secret part of it

that they realized was a design unused section. And they had kind of the movie also focuses on, we kind of have some competition with the mall, because the mall actually, all these developers were partially responsible for tearing down the arts district of Providence where they formerly lived. And then they found this little spot, a movie, they had these little cameras, little tiny old cameras, and they filmed a bunch of it just for themselves for fun.

And they gave that footage, and so there was like enough old footage of them like sneaking in bricks from Home Depot, high up into the mall, slowly building in space that was kind of a little off-leaf for them to hang out while they were doing a bunch of art that was related to more like heavier stuff like things like 9-11 memorials and memorial work in New York, and they also do the interviews. It's the first time everyone who was involved kind of came forward and took responsibility. Where did you see this?

It was at a film festival in Calgary. So I don't actually know where it was. Yeah, this might be a secret movie. I think the guy that made it just showed it to you. I watched it in someone else's secret mall. You crawled to the top of the Shedook Center in Calgary. That's real. I think it was produced by Jesse Eisenberg potentially.

So hopefully you'll find it home. But if you see it available in the future, I thought it was a really cool documentary. There we go. Yeah. Secret mall apartment. You know, I love anything when a mall gets involved. Um, all right. Did you know they're shipping buckets up there too? These doors are.

They did live in the apartment. They only went down there. They hung out in the tree house? Yeah, to do their art, just be together. Work for,ify the space. 24 years ago was a different time. Yeah, because they wouldn't have to stay in there a long time without being noticed, right? Because they'd have to go in and out at closing hours.

They found different ways to sneak in. They were shitting buckets. They filmed that and they're like, that's kinda funny. There's buckets of piss everywhere. It reminds me of when I was working in a Zooey's without even letting it happen. What? Where were you working? I was working in a Zooey's.

There's something called Zooey's? It's a skateboard shop in the mall. Oh, okay. That's when you saw in the towers fall? Well, I couldn't see it from there. Okay. You were in the mall. Isn't it literally?

Yeah, that's literally. Alright, so, uh, we're doing great, everybody. We got a great recommendation and two other guys talked for a little while. That one recommendation might not exist. Might be hard to find. But good luck to everybody and reach out to me on the Douglas Movies account on X for Twitter. And I'm gonna start Douglas Movies account over on something else just so that if anybody doesn't want to be on Twitter anymore. I don't know about Threads, I don't know about you know what I'm talking about. It's a red account. Couldn't I just do it on Insta, just on the main Instagram? Yeah. Because, you know, I like to do little video problems anyway, clips from the movies, that kind of shit.

Sure. What if we just move the social presence to the comments section of the Minions movie on Instagram? There's always a lot of content there. Like, there should be be anybody discussing minions. The kids are too young to be able to communicate with discussing it. It can be for grownups too. I know, but I agree that it can. But also, children like it.

So, you know, it's weird. You know, it's like the whole Outlander people get at Disney Adults. I'm the fucking biggest Disney adult there's ever been. I love Disneyland, don't have kids, would never want to take a kid there. I just want to go and have my own fun, you know, especially for a long time now they've had alcohol. And before recently, there's a turn of events where you can't smoke anything anywhere in Disneyland so it's a little too risky trying to smoke in there so you know you just have to do it in the parking lot instead of your car in the goofy section

I mean, it's great to Disney, too. Yeah, but it's fun. The cufflinks kind of look like little Mickey gloves. You know, with the fingers around your wrists. It's cute. Okay, so, uh... I still wrote all the rounds. I looked at Scott, I was sweating and convulsing. This is pre-pandemic, so it was more acceptable. We were just a mess, but everyone just thought it was because it was such an exciting time.

They probably thought I was really excited. Everybody looks nauseous on the tea cups. All right, we'll be right back. Woo! Today's episode is brought to you in part by Found.

Oh my god, it's so much fun to be had during the break series, so that's why you gotta come see it in person. We picked, my guests selected who they're gonna play on behalf of today, and I will recap that now. Ben is gonna play for the Beverly Jillbillies, for a friend up front named Jill who brought a fun name tag. Then there's the Benson Murder Case is who Bo was playing for and Benson Murder Case is just a real movie. You didn't have to change shit. And but also do you want me to mention Tuttle? Yeah.

Okay. I you know people get their shout outs. It's directed by who? Tuttle? Frank Tunnel. Frank Tunnel, the great Frank Tunnel directed it. And he turned out to be a communist. Oh, he turned out to be a communist. Oh, cool.

I did. I did. Shh. I'm adding information. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. Just end it, man.

The poster was cute. The poster was cute. The poster was cute. And then they're like, hey, it's my name, man, you can copy this. Ah, that's just weird. Woo! Um, okay. Anyway, the family that made that name tag together by not changing any of the words is the tunnels.

The good tunnels as we like to refer to them. And then Matt is playing for short Alex 2, which is a play on short circuit 2, and he actually brought the VHS. So that's impressive and that's why Matt chose it. I like shakes. Shakes. Alright, so let's play some games. What do you say?

This first game we're going to play is something that I call Alex's Jason and Deb's IMDB Game. I'm going crazy for it. Alright, so here's what's gonna happen let me check the time see how we're doing on time. Oh running late. Okay I could do this I could do this. Alright so every thespian man or woman however they identify has a page on IMDB and then they have at the top of that page IMDB will say best known for and they'll name four projects usually movies sometimes TV that that person is known for. I'm going to start reading the best known for of somebody's page and when you think you know it buzz in with your own name and tell me what person it is whose page I'm reading.

This is just between the people on stage of course. And if you buzz in and you're wrong, like if I give the first title, there's a lot of movies with more than one person in it, I give the first title and shouldn't get it completely away. So be careful coming in too early. Too hot, as it were, because it's negative one point, if you are incorrect.

But if you get it right at any point during the four, if it's before the fourth one, you have an option, you know, you have a chance to get some bonus points by naming the remaining, you guess the remaining movies in their top four for one point each if you get them. This is very high level difficulty of a game and that's why I brought it out today because I don't want to make you guys look like idiots.

No, just, I think I'll figure it out. I think it'll be good. Okay. And also there's a theme, so you could figure out the theme, and that could also help you to buzz in early. Or form it into movies. Yeah, he's so funny, but the answers are going to all be actors or actresses, and here we go.

Here's round one. The first film, which maybe Ben has seen, is called Inside Out. He's seen it. Nobody's buzzing in yet though, because that movie has a bunch of people in it. The second film on this person's list of best known for is Argo.

Oh my God. Oh, Matt? Matt. She. Happy to help out, Matt. Shit. What's your guess after those two films? Tony Hill?

That is incorrect. God. See, this is what's gonna happen. We love to see it. after those two films. Tony Hale? That is incorrect. See this is what's gonna happen. We'd love to see it. Tony loved it, don't you? Eat it up! Okay now you're out for the rest of this one. Matt you don't get to try again now that you

fucked it up. Now that you are go fuck yourself. Alright the third title is called A Serious Man. And the fourth title is A Bug's Life. Yeah. Bo. I don't think that I know it because I only know one actor from all four movies. And I don't think she appears in the bugs life. I don't think it was Ben Affleck.

He's in one of those. Yeah, that's what I thought. The build up to your incorrect answer was outstanding. I love it. Do you want to take a swing at it, Ben? Now that you know all four, or do you rather not get the negative point? Do it. I'm gonna not get the negative point.

Probably. I think it's smart. You're smart, because this is a tough one. It's the great actor Richard Kind. That's what I got. In Inside Out, he plays Big Bong, one of the saddest deaths in the history of motion pictures. Spoiler.

But people should be warned before watching Inside Out movies, and Up also, that these movies will fuck you up but they do seem to have fun. The minions don't ever rarely seem unhappy. We didn't see Tuesdays with minions. We didn't see Tuesdays with minions. We didn't see Tuesdays with minions. We didn't see Tuesdays with minions. We didn't see Tuesdays with minions.

I know but I think I would watch that. I think I would watch that. Yeah, there needs to be a real sad minions movie. Okay, so Ben and Matt, I mean, Beau and Matt are both in the hole and Ben is leading by just sitting there. And... Wow, what a game! That's how these things should work. Okay, so, here's round two. We're gonna start with inside out Then the second is a television program called the office

Okay, no go Steve Carell and that is incorrect Okay, you want the third title I don't know. No, god, it's, um... Oh, fuck! Okay, you want the third title? Yes. Bad Teacher. And then the fourth title is Alvin and the Chipmunks, colon, Chipwrecked. See, I thought there might be movies in here that Ben is seeing. I did see that one.

He's like, I like minions though, but what about these monks? Well they're chipmunks. Yeah, check them out. I saw a black squirrel outside of here today. I don't think I've ever seen that before. It's usually a bed. It's like an old... Maybe he's playing around on a tire next door. Girls love that place.

Covered in flags. It's a black tire. Okay, nobody else wants to guess? I don't know. You could save your ass, Matt, by not guessing. I don't know his full name. ass Matt by not guessing me whose full name If you don't know the full name that's hard to guess Which part you know the first or last I know the first okay, yeah, I think I'm making a problem. Maybe you are Are you thinking...

I'll tell you the answer right now. Phyllis Smith. Phyllis! How could I have guessed that last name? I was going to give you a hint, saying it's pretty complicated. She was the casting director on The Office, and then she ended up playing the philis on The Office,

and she is Sadness in Inside Out, one of my favorite animated characters, and she sounds it like it is. Round three. The first thing is the TV show called The Office. The second is Inside Out. Ben, Steve Carell? Shh.

Ben is now three in the hole. No, I didn't guess the other two. I'm two in the hole. I thought you guessed something on all of them. No, I didn't guess yet. That was my first guess. Ben's taking a great strategy of zeroing it. Oh, he took your Steve Carell. Now I get it.

I wasn't watching it. I didn't know who said that. We're all competing for best negative right now. It could be anybody. Anybody can do it. I've seen it happen on Jeopardy! Where people are all in the hole and they crawl out of it. Alright, so, especially if you get one, then you can get bonus points, but I'm going to keep going on this one. So, Bo and Matt are still, can jump in.

I've said The Office and Inside Out. Late night, yeah, late night, just late night. And then the fourth one, I gotta, out out of the audience they know what it is the fourth one is Wreck-It Ralph another movie that Ben's probably seen but he's out any guesses I'm happy to move on you don't have lifelines till towards the end How many people are in Inside Out? There's a really good cast in Inside Out and also The Office, obviously, but this person

was also in a movie called Late Night and A Voice in Wreck-It Ralph and her name is Mindy Kaling. Yeah, I think so. Mindy Kaling, yes. All right, so this will be so exciting if someone with negative points wins this game. And what we have currently, we have a tie in negative points because Ben and Matt both have negative one. So, Bo, sit this next one out. It's an honor to be tied to the mediums, guys.

The game of games. Alright, I'm faking you guys. You'll get this one. The idea is you say your name to buzz in and then I call on you and then you answer. You don't just say Matt Cheesesteak O'Brien. You know what I mean? Cheesesteak. That's a great actor okay the first movie is inside out the second movie is baby mama what is it mad Amy Poehler is correct Matt wins his winner with zero points.

That is amazing. Could that happen on Jeopardy? That would be wild. Alright, so, two people in the hole and one person with zero? I don't know how that would work. Okay, so, since you won that one, Matt, you get to go first in our next game, and the order's going to go then Bo then, I'm sorry, Matt then Ben then Bo on this one. Matt, Ben, Bo. And the game is called Whose Tagline Is It Anyway?

I will say a tagline from a motion picture. Then I will tell whoever is a first three titles. And then you have to pick which one you think that movie is the tagline for. If you miss, there'll be two remaining titles. So the person who's next gets a guess of 50-50 between those two. And if that person misses, which doesn't happen, then the third person gets what I call the gimme point. And'll play a few rounds of that and every time somebody gets one right,

the next person, the next round starts with the next person. Like I said, we're going Matt, then Ben, then Bo. It's important for you to remember that because I always fuck it up. Especially when I look the other way and I think that Bo answered when it was Ben answering. Champing earlier today. Roll the tape. All right. There's a theme in this one too, but I think you'll catch on to what it is right quick.

All right. The first tagline that goes to Matt is, evil dwells in the most unlikely places. Evil dwells in the most unlikely places. Is this from a movie called The Rosewood Lane or 10 Cloverfield Lane or The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane? Evil dwells in the most unlikely places. Which one is it, Matt?

It's definitely down the lane. Oh man, I'm going to say 10 Cloverfield Heights. Incorrect! Ben, is it the Rosewood Lane or the little girl who lives down the lane? That is correct you're on the board Matt has one point now we go to Bo So the more you know That's not part of it

Here's the tagline Fear thy neighbor Is that the tagline for a nightmare on Elm Street? Reservation Road or Arlington Road That is correct. Woo! Thank you. Thank you. Negative one. No, this is a new game, so you're tied up with Ben,

one point each. Matt's first again, though. He could tie this up, he could make it a three-way tie. Not every criminal wants to be one. Terrible tagline. Not every criminal wants to be one. Billions. Is that... Don't joke around.

No jokers. Is that Wall Street, London Boulevard, or Street Kings? This is for Matt. Not every criminal wants to be one. What's the first one? Wall Street? Well they want to be Wall Street guys. And the last one is London Street. London Boulevard. London Boulevard. Or Street Kings. Street Kings.

Street Kings. They want to be criminals. You think so? You think they're cocky because they're kings? Yeah. Not every criminal wants to be one. Yeah, just pick one of those three. [? Laughter.?] Street Kings. Incor, just pick one of those three. Three K's.

Incorrect! Ben, you're not a thing! Back to Ben. Is it Wall Street or London Boulevard? Wall Street. Incorrect! Bo is our winner! And we'll be right back. This episode is brought to you in part by Smalls. I love cats.

Alright, so the game we're going to play one, because I woke up this morning, knew I was going to play this game, so I typed a word into the search engine on IMDB.

Then I wrote down the eight top movies that came up in order according to IMDB's algorithm of popularity. So I'm going to tell you that word, and then each of you are gonna take turns guessing movies with that word in the title. You know, you can make up a title, or you can actually use no one, or you'll see, you'll figure out ways to work it.

And we'll do, you'll each guess three times. And the order's gonna go, so Bo won that last thing, so we'll start with Bo and then go to Ben and then to Matt. And like I said, you'll each get three guesses, so just wait your turn for your guesses. And Bo, are you ready to hear what the word is? Oh, so I wrote down eight answers.

Number one, if you pick the one that's number one on this, much like, I think if you kind of get eight points, but then if you pick the one that's number eight, you get one point. And then there's all those points in between. And the person with the most points after three rounds is the winner. It's just the word in the title, not the starting word.

Doesn't have to be the first word, just has to be in it somewhere, just sitting there being that word. In a title. And I already told you this earlier today, because we were talking about the nightmare we cause for Matt when he doesn't know what any of the Halloween movies are called. There's no, none of that nonsense here. Every title that ended up in the top eight is just... There's no colon. No colon. No. This is a colon-free situation. What are you neurology of? Yeah. Oh, come on.

That shit got something. On my sister podcast... Is that how you say it when you have another podcast? Brother podcast. I don't want to be part of the patriarchy though, so my other podcast, Wide World of Ducks, we had a really long discussion with a gentleman who's a big fan of this word because it is his first name and the word today is Rocky. So, Bo, what do you think would be the top movie on the list of movies with the word Rocky in the title? I'm torn between Rocky and Bullwinkle and the movie Rocky and I go with Rocky. You're going with just straight up Rocky?

Well now I feel not so happy about it. I'm just clarifying that the title is just the word Rocky. You think it'll come up number one if you type in, don't say it in the audience please, if you type in Rocky. Oh, that reminds me, you get, each of you can go to the person who you're playing for one time for a suggestion. You can do it at any point, Ben.

I'm going with the train title, but I'm still going to go with Rocky. Rocky is number two on the list. Rocky is number two, so that means Bo in the first round starting out with seven points but it's still anybody's game. Let's go to Ben. Ben what do you think? What's a movie with Rocky in the title? You can ask your lifeline once if you need to. Yeah. You're going to go to the lifeline. You've heard of the movie Rocky, right?

Yeah. No. You know what it's like. Hang on. Hang on. I found one. I found another one. I thought, I imagined you would.

I had a feeling that you might think of another one. You might be going to your lifeline a bit too early, but also your lifeline was scared, so that's a little hint. A little hint about what you should do. Yeah, let's not check in with our lifelines until we mean it. You can't find out first if they are going to help you or not. Well, I thought... But you thought of something.

I thought he knew something. Well, you thought of something, so let's hear what you came up with. Rocky Five. That's interesting what you came up That's interesting that you should say that's too rocky five It doesn't have to be just movies you've seen but yeah, I get it Rocky five is number six on the list So that is where three points for Ben. Ben is in it. Matt, we come to you.

Do you think you know the first one? Wait, don't. I just very clearly, very clearly, I'm eliminating your lifeline. Oh, come on. You don't have one at all! I don't think you should need him anyway. Do I have his lifeline? I'm fully in support of your opinion. The first double lifeline. We used to do phone a friend, but it had to be a celebrity. You had to get a celebrity on the phone, and then they would allow it. And the trouble is, even if your friend's a celebrity, you're not allowed to go to voicemail.

If you just call them on a Saturday afternoon. But anyway, so what's your movie? Rocky. It's not a Rocky. I think people are so jazzed up by Rocky I that Rocky II is number one. So I'm going to say say don't laugh at that. That was a bit sorry. You think Rocky two is like that? It's not very funny if people algebrity laughed at people's answers.

But they do laugh when somebody really fucks up on Wheel of Fortune, which is always hilarious. Okay, so you're going with Rocky too? That's your final? Yeah. Number seven on the list. Out of my ass. Yeah. So that's another two points, or I should say two points for Matt, for starters, but we still have, you each get to do two more. So there's plenty of chance to turn this around make it work for you we go to bow and the second guess and again you could go to your lifeline but don't ask them any

questions questions. Are there more words after in this game after Rocky? What? I'm going to have to be saving my lifeline. No your lifeline you have to use it in this evening's three rounds of Rocky exclusive answers. Do you want me to recap the answers we have so far? We have Rocky 5, Rocky, Rocky 2. Yes. I'm really a bit worried. So anyone who's stuffed for an answer... ...is weird. I'm really a bit worried that the Rocky... This isn't, are you smarter than a fifth grader? But yeah, it's strategic at this point, I think, for everybody.

I'm going to go with my lifeline now, actually. Interesting. All right. Let's talk to the Tuttles. What I'm worried about with the Tuttles is if the Rocky movies start to diverge from titles as easy as Rocky, Rocky II, and Rocky V, then I'm worried that Rocky III might be like Rocky Salvation or something like that. I told you there's no colons in this game today. Can we confirm? Can any of you confirm a Rocky movie title that is?

Have the Tuttles conferred with one another? You can't ask the question, but either give me one or don't. So, Tuddles, I think I know which one you're going to say because of your relation to communism. But what's your Rocky answer? It's not that. We go with Rocky Horror Picture Show. Here's saying Rocky Horror Picture Show. No, those are Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Guess what? Number one! No problem. I can feel the were all stewing! I think people the whole year were stewing in their juices! Oh, what a nice release we all just had. Come for the fun, but stay for the release. I knew there was a fucking one that had the thing in it. What?

Okay. All right. Ben, how are you doing down there? I'm doing great. Just dreaming of minions. Minions dancing in your head. Are there other minions that you've seen? I've seen a few. Just dreaming of minions. Minions dancing in your head.

Are there other Minions things that you've searched out or is it just the movies? Because I bet you they have like an album. Have they done TV specials? Have they ever had their own TV special? They should. I know, right? Yeah, they want. Okay. What's your second guess Ben? Rocky IV. I mean that's what I thought the communists would be into. Because Rocky has to find a Russian. Yeah. Yeah in in in Rocky IV and that is number three. in Rocky IV, and that is number three! Yeah, exactly. Russian robot. Six more points for Ben. Matt, it's up to you now to impress everybody by naming another one that's on this list. And also, you can't, winning is, that's not gonna happen.

You're insurmountable. Bo's lead is insurmountable. Winning's not gonna happen here. It's not gonna happen. You keep going if you want. I mean, that's the thing about a lot of sports, is that there's always the chance until the very end. But in this case, you're done. But you do get to guess again two more times.

So let's just see for fun if you can nail any of the other ones on the list. We've still got three more movies. Rocky Bowling. Now this was going to get tricky when Bo brought it up, but he skirted the issue. I made the exact title. Rocky Bullwinkle back in action. That is incorrect. Because they're back. Well, yeah, they were sort of back, but it was also trying to start the whole thing again.

Rocky Bullwinkle You're we go. Don't keep guessing, there's still other people that have to guess behind you. Absolutely a trap if I may say so myself. You genius bastard. Yeah, sorry. Okay, Bo, what's your next guess? Which Rockies have we covered so far?

Rocky, Rocky, Rocky 2? We've got two, four, Which Rockies have we covered so far? Rockie Rockie and Rockie 2? We've got 2, 4, and original Rockie. OG Rockie. I'm gonna go with Rockie 3. And 5. You're gonna say Rockie 3. That's number 5 on the list.

Bo Johnson cannot lose. So good at this. Wow. I'm sitting right here. You know, I'm sure Bo is a creeper. He really came to life here. He used to be a negative point guy, but then everything changed with these last two games. Ben, what are you thinking over there?

I'm thinking a Rocky 6. I'm hoping. And you haven't used your iPhone yet? I haven't. Okay, use your iPhone. I think it's called the Rocky and Bollingale movie. Oh, shit. The Rocky and Bully Go movie. Oh shit. The Rocky and Bully Go movie.

The Rocky and Bully Go movie. Joe Willis and Beverly Hills. That is not what it's called. Rock and Sock of Robots? No more words, Ben. You did great though. you did really good. Alright so back to you Matt, just for a flourish here at the end. I wanted to say a final... Do you want to use your lifeline? Oh I can!

Right? We just talked to the lifeline earlier. We're talking deadbeats so what do you have? What do you have for the deadbeats? The adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle? The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle is correct! Oh, another sweet release. Don't be good, right? I don't know how many people are gonna remove that one.

Yeah, it's pretty forgettable. It's a pretty forgettable motion picture. So much so, but it's number eight, normally. So that was only worth a measly point. And so, the final tally is Ben, I mean, Ben's got nine, and Matt's got three, and Bo's got too many for me to add up quickly. Bo's got 19. Bo Johnson is our winner today! It's chantable, it's a chantable name.

Matt, Bo, Ben are all very chantable. But Bo is in fact our winner. But before we all tell you where you can see us and stuff, everybody of course wants to know what movies did not get answered. And by my calculations, you only missed one of them. Yeah, one out of the eight movies. And it's unfortunate that they went that way with it,

but the sixth Rocky Balboa movie is called Rocky Balboa. Yeah, and that was number four and one of it worth five points from 2006. But once again, let's hear it for Bo Johnson! What do you want to plug, Bo? This comes out on Monday. Can I plug two things? Yes! One, visual only for the crowd here tonight, but I actually, my second tattoo is a Rocky holding a hunting knife for a Vandana from the time a Canadian police officer

cut my friend Dan Duvall's window tint off his car with a hunting knife. Jesus! I knew that story, yeah. And you're walking around not knowing what the Rocky and Duvall are doing. I'm sorry. One of all people.

And also the listeners are probably thinking Rocky Nalvoa, but it's Rocky as in... I'm a little bit of a... I'm a little bit of a... I'm a little bit of a... I'm a little bit of a... I'm a little bit of a... I'm a little bit of a... I'm a little bit of a... I'm a little bit of a... I'm a little bit of a... I'm a little bit of a...

I'm a little bit of a... I'm a little bit of a... I'm a little bit of a... I'm a little bit of a... This comes out on Monday, so I will be in Seattle next weekend.

And for the people here tonight, I'm here tomorrow night, if you want to go home, but Seymour Conway tomorrow as well. And my opener makes I'll make him do magic tricks after the show. He's not doing his act, though.

I know, but after. He might have to pay it. But it will be magic. And it will be better than the show. Magic is pretty good. Battle Brian, what do you want to promote? I mean, follow me on Instagram

at Battle Brian. I don't want to promote another account. I'm at Coss tonight. If you're going to San Francisco, follow me to San Francisco. Yeah, they're going all the way back home. And I'll be there tonight. And that's good for me. I have no tattoos about getting down at knife point, tatting, my window smashed in by a police or whatever. So that's it for me. There's too many people walking around with tattoos where when you ask them about it they don't have a good story.

You know, like, you're a real A&E deliverer. It's another great case of release there. It's not just a silly tattoo, it's got a story. Also, Ben Polina, what would you like to talk about? Just write some in here. That's a name, that's a few words. Ben Polina on the social apps and every Monday at the Abbey Tower in San Francisco, uh, earthquake, the greatest show in the world.

It's the greatest show in the world. Yeah. That's awesome. Thanks to all three of you dudes for being here.
