Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby, sticky seeds with 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you once again from back at home. It was great to do a show in front of an audience in Sacramento. And thank you to everyone who came out. My guests today are the winner from that show, a Zoom show dangling champ, and a newcomer who is scrappy and ready to go. It's Thursday, February 24th, 2022. And my guests today are Brandon Collins, Chad Opitz, and Brian Petzos. Hello, gentlemen. Hey, hey.

Now, from repetition, I'm sure I got the first two guys' names right. But Brian, did I pronounce your last name correctly? You did. You did. I often get pastos or pencils or pretzels. All of them make me very happy. It does seem like a name that lends itself to fun mistakes. And I'll be back at you in a second. But we're going to meet everybody individually and alphabetically, starting with Brandon Collins is back. Hello, Brando. Hey, good to be back, y'all.

This is fun. I'm glad you enjoy it. I believe the last time you joined us might have been on Super Bowl Sunday. I believe the last time you joined us might've been on Superbowl Sunday. And, you know, so once I found out that you would do this show instead of the Superbowl, I was like, well, this guy's going to say yes. Anytime I ask. So I appreciate that. And I mean, we got done in plenty of time to, to watch the game. Did you watch the game?

Just a little bit. I didn't really care for either team. I just want to see if there's any trailers that popped up during Super Bowl that I couldn't see on YouTube. And there were a few that I got to catch because I recorded on YouTube TV. So I was able to skip through the garbage I didn't want to watch. Yeah, it was it was a boring Super Bowl for me. The halftime show was interesting because you had all these rappers and they were all censored, but it was still a pretty good halftime show. But it was hot.

Yeah, it was. I couldn't understand what was happening. I didn't know why 50 Cent was upside down. Oh, that was in the club. In the club music video. In the video, he's upside down. Yeah, he's hanging upside down. That's in the video. He's up. Yeah.

He's hanging upside down. That's I mean, that's all for him to do in his fifties, but you know, yeah, I mean, it's just so funny. We've got this whole field.

What we should, what should we do? Well, let's put him in a room and put walls around it. So many people in the stadium cannot see him. And, but the upside down part, now that you're saying it's an actual homage to something, was cool.

Also joining us today is a recent champion. He somersaulted across the stage and into our hearts last Saturday in Sacramento and walked away the champion in an intense two-man showdown. It's Chad Opitz. Hey, Chad. How are you, Doug? I'm good. I say Sacramento as a nod to the film Memento because I love movies. Very good. I see that. You do love movies. I can tell from that point. I really do. I just try to work it in

everywhere again in conversation if i could think of a movie that had the word opitz in the title you know i'd be using it what about mr what about mr holland's opitz oh i like that i thought you it's penguins. But thanks for being here, dude, and good luck today. Thank you. I think it's going to be an interesting battle because we have Willis, a first-time guest, but he's no slouch

when it comes to cinema because he is a writer and director of several shorts and now his first feature film tell me if i'm getting any of this wrong big gold brick is in theaters now hello brian petsos hello doug now the now that you speak of is uh obviously um the 25th of february right well this release is late tonight like at midnight so technically it'll be on the on your release date and uh where where can people see it like how many cinemas is it specific cities how does it work yeah it's going to be in actually to be honest with you, I am not up to date on the full list, but it'll be in theaters.

It'll be available digitally and on demand all today, quote unquote. Oh, all right. You're doing it all today. So whether you want to leave the house or stay home, you can watch Big Gold Brick, which stars one of, you know, you got an amazing actor in there who I

think is having, he's having a Garcia-sance, if you will, Andy Garcia. Oh, yeah. He's a he is truly an enigma. Yeah, when I'm not scared of him i love him dude i was you know this last uh christmas time around the holidays i was at um

uh epcot and disney world and they do this thing every night called the candlelight processional and it's a different famous person comes in and kind of like hosts it and reads the the speech that linus reads in uh in the charlie brown christmas special and um for all those people that are religious enough to know what i'm talking about um it's the candlelight processional they call it there's this gigantic choir and uh seems like amateurs and then um a very professional orchestra and then a celebrity and when the nights were both nights we were there we went by to look at it both times just to look at him uh andy garcia was like the the special. So he seemed super into it. I mean, he is, he can be a very serious man.

Although I was seeing, I see him be quite funny. I liked him a lot. And there's a thing that, you know, one of the Quibi shows that went to Roku is called Flipped. And he's like a sort of villain in that with Will Forte and it's really funny. I haven't seen it but I

love both those guys. Check it out. It's like the episodes are six minutes long and they made like ten of them so it only takes an hour to watch the whole season. Oh, I can definitely commit to that. What's the most exciting thing to you at this point about having your first feature film

out and about tomorrow? Yeah, I think honestly just kind of getting it out of the way. I mean, it's a thing that's so hard to just kind of make it happen. And it's a thing that's it's so hard to just kind of make it happen. And it's a thing that, you know, obviously I've just finished my next script. And so it's time to put that one together. But the pandemic sort of split the whole process up on this. And so I'm just I'm excited to finally have it out, you know.

And it's got, you know, it's not a one-man show with andy garcia you got megan fox in there who else is in it yeah so it's andy garcia emery cohen uh megan fox lucy hale and mr oscar isaac oh damn yeah that's that's that's that's the main gang there. Yeah, and that's a fun thing about you, is that Oscar Isaac is, you know, like Scorsese has De Niro, and you have Oscar Isaac, like he's in all your movies. Well, I mean, yeah, I don't know if I deserve even to be compared to the letter S in the name Scorsese, but I will take it.

Absolutely. Okay. How about he's your Hector Elizondo? Can I compare you to Gary Marshall? Actually, that's great too. I'll take that. Yeah. Right.

That's a great one. You could even compare me to Penny Marshall and I'm good with it. Yeah. I don't know if Penny Marshall had anybody that she put in every single one of her movies. She probably didn't, you know, because that was her brother's thing. And, you know, she was forging her own path. But thank you so much for being here.

And everybody check out Brian's movie. I'll say it again now. We'll say it again at the end of the show. It's called Big Gold Brick. Before we start the games portion of the show, I always like to visit Recommendation Nation. That's where each of my guests recommends one movie. I think Brandon has given us some

interesting selections in the past but what do you have for us today yes so what immediately came to mind because you mentioned charlie brown christmas is a short film i watched recently on apple tv plus called be my valentine charlie brown which is probably the saddest of all the charlie brown like uh movie specials because it's valentine's day it's charlie brown sos because it's Valentine's Day, it's Charlie Brown so you know it's not going to end well for him. But he's so optimistic he brings a briefcase to school

because he thinks he's going to get so many Valentines he won't be able to carry them in his little hands and of course he gets none. And it's just one of the funniest saddest pieces of TV I've ever seen. So I recommend that. And this is just you're telling us to watch the old

CBS Valentine's Peanut special. I love that. That's currently available on Netflix. It's on Apple TV. Apple TV. I think you're right. Apple TV. Be My Valentine. You realize it's not

a motion picture, right? Well, you know, not a motion picture right well you know it's it's emotional picture adjacent you know i usually recommend style of films but this just this you can't miss this man it's insane okay well that's that's fair i'm gonna accept it then because uh you know you want people to see it at least you're not uh taking up much of their time you know it's only a 22-minute cartoon. Gentlemen, also understand, in this special, Linus wants to hook up with his teacher and Snoopy does a one-man play just to Lucy.

It's completely insane. What? They're supposed to be like five or something. They're supposed to be really... I think when they first started, they were like five and then I think they grew into like they're like seven be really i think that when they first started they were like five and then i think they grew into like they're they're like seven and sally's five or something like that but it's still we did the we did the math and uh they're all in the same class and that means that charlie brown got held back. Okay, Chad.

That's a tough one to top a non-movie. Especially for a holiday that has just passed. Yeah. That's a really bold recommendation. I am going to recommend I don't think I've recommended this before.

There's a 1990s Dave Foley movie called the wrong guy. I recommended to somebody last night. Cause they hit me up for something to watch and it's, you can watch the whole thing on YouTube, but it's one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. There's so many good jokes in it. Yeah. Dave Foley is the wrong guy. It's really good. That's come up on the show,

not only in the recommendation portion, but just because, you know, whenever we have Dave Foley himself on the show, there's a lot of, you know, he gets a lot of praise from the other guests because a lot of comedians love that movie because it's really, I mean, he plays a character. When they say the wrong guy,

he does say or do the absolute wrong thing that you would want him to do in every situation. And it's consistent, and I don't know how they pull it off. It's quite amazing. Yeah, so many good jokes on it. Okay, I wrote YT next to it for YouTube. I'm going to look at that later and not know what that is. You know what I mean? Why do I write YT next to it?

Oh, because it stars that young thing. All right, Brian, I wrote down as a placeholder Big Gold Brick, but you don't have to recommend your own movie if you have something else you'd like to suggest. How can I recommend Big Gold Brick when I can recommend Beverly Hills Ninja?

Oh my goodness. On a left field. This is going to be a tough choice for people. Beverly Hills Ninja. How and why did you fall in love with Beverly Hills Ninja. How did you, how and why did you fall in love with Beverly Hills Ninja? I mean, when a film becomes

religious, it's hard to explain the how and the why. It just happens. You don't think you're into it, but next thing you know, you're watching it every Sunday morning. I mean, if I told you I've seen Caddyshack a hundred times, Beverly Hills Ninja, maybe more? Nice.

Okay. So this was at a certain age you loved both of those movies. Yeah. This was last summer. All right. Well, I love that. That's a terrific. all right well i love that's a terrific uh these are really three good uh options for people especially uh if they want to have a laugh or or or ask why you know if they want to watch

something and wonder why someone else thought it was funny these might also be uh good for that i don't know i don't uh i don't know what what how people's tastes run when it comes to how silly they like their comedy and how much they enjoy watching children go through the rituals of Valentine's. The romantic activities of children is what Brandon has recommended. Let me write that title down. Guys, just one second.

Romantic Wantings of Children as Imagined by a 75-Year-Old Man. Also incredibly illegal. It gets really weird the more you think about it. At least he invented Woodstock and that made it a lot less strange.

Once, once, you know, once you bring in a bird character, Woodstock and Sippy have a very questionable relationship though. If you really look at it, I don't understand it at all. I mean,

maybe we can go back to the beginning and maybe it was, maybe it was some sort of food thing is the reason they became friends. Maybe they're able to help each other find food or something, but I just don't get why a bird and a dog would be that tight. I just don't get it. All right. Thanks for, for recommending movies in that one TV show. We'll be right back after these messages. We are back. And the first game we're going to play today,

I warned my guests pre-show because it's extra tough. I think it's, we're going to play the game purple rain, man. But this is going to be a special edition of Purple Rain Man. Now normally Purple Rain Man, as the title implies, is the answer is two movie titles pushed together. I've even seen Jeopardy do this recently and I've contacted some lawyers because I know lawyers love Jeopardy. No, I have been playing this for a while

and it's two different movie titles mashed up together, like Purple Rain Man. If I give you the cast members from Purple Rain and from Rain Man, you know, until somebody figures out it's Purple Rain Man, that's how that game worked.

But this time, I've added an unnecessary twist. You know how most movies these days have, you know, two or three unnecessary twists. I think it's finally time for my game to have an unnecessary twist. And so this is going to be a mashup of an actor and a movie, but in the opposite order. It's going to be a masterpiece of a movie title and an actor. So one at a time, I'm going to give you, first I'm going to give you the third billed person in the movie,

and then the third most popular film featuring the actor I'm thinking of according to IMDb. And then I'll give you the second build and the second highest grossing movie, etc. Until somehow it all makes sense or it doesn't.

Oh, boy. I got one giveaway clue at the end that I think will finally solve it just because I don't want to walk away without a winner. We'll see. Ready? Yeah. I just, you know, just guess anytime you want. I don't know if a lot of guesses will spring to mind. I don't know if a lot of guesses will spring to mind.

Okay, the first half of this mashup is a movie title, and the movie has John Leguizamo in the third billing. And this title is mashed up with an actor's name whose third most popular movie, according to IMDb, would be Spider-Man 3. Whoa. Yeah, so there's way too much to chew on there,

so I'm going to go ahead and move on to the next round. I'm like, whoa. Yeah. Yeah. There's this whoa. Yeah. Leguizamo has been in a ton of movies and there's a ton of actors in Spider-Man 3. How could you figure it out at this point? Unless you know

that second build in this Johnny Legs movie is Maria Cecilia Botero. What? Yeah. That's what I wrote that name as the moment I thought, oh, no one's going to get this.

And then the second most popular movie this person in is called Valentine's Day, directed by the aforementioned Gary Marshall. Oh, man. But that has so many celebrities in it. We can't rule out that the answer might be Hector Elizondo. Yes. All right. Are you ready for a first

build and highest grossing? Not grossing, but most popular movie that person was in? We got Stephanie Beatriz not grossing but most popular movie that person was in yes we got stephanie beatriz from uh you know she's on uh brooklyn 99 very funny plays rosa and then the most popular movie according to imdb this person is is in is called interstellar so i think the key to this is the first person who can think of the one person that was in spider-man 3 valentine's day

interstellar can then back into the other movies answer by just knowing the you know the first name of the actor because they're mashed up does that make any sense to anybody? Yes. Another sip of this 40 ounce. Let me see if it starts to make sense. Yeah, yeah. Go ahead and as loopy as you can for this.

Okay. So, Doug, explain. So we're supposed to figure out the actor and the movie or just. Yeah, they mash up together like Purple Rain Man you can smash them into okay I think I know what this is

the actor is Topher Grace yeah so what movie would star those other three people and come before Topher whoa yeah John Leguizamo and come before Topher. Whoa. Yeah. What?

John Leguizamo, Stephanie, would it be Encanto? Yeah, now say all of it. Topher Grace, Encanto? Try again. Encanto, Topher Grace? Like, what's going on?

Don't bash it up. Encanto for Grace? That is the answer. Encanto for Grace. Wow. Okay. Whoa. Yeah.

Encanto for Grace came to me and I went, went oh that'll be a fun game and then as we're playing it no it's not but to be clear it's Encanto for Grace yeah Encanto for Grace Encanto for Grace

okay ask for it by name how's this reward work Doug how's this reward work, Doug? How's the reward work for this one? Because I feel like I saw that it just couldn't be. You definitely did. Yeah, you won the game.

But you haven't, pardon the expression, won the war because we have to play one more game and of course what you won is you get to go first in our next game.

But that Toe for Grace has got an interesting filmography because I was reading that he was sort of like I've got this, that 70 show money. So I'm just going to take interesting acting roles where I can find them and not necessarily pursue, you know, being like the lead all the time. But they say that him being in Spider-Man three, like was detrimental to his career yeah that was

a bad move for him but it's because it's not his fault fully it's just that the iteration of the character he's playing was so like heavily like hated by fans that it just you know knocked over to him yeah isn't that weird though because like whathis-name didn't get the stink off of being Sandman, really. It didn't seem to bother people that much. And he got to come back in this next one. I mean, you got to have a magnifying glass to find, because I don't think they invited, you know, I don't think Venom got invited back, but that's because

of course Venom's a whole new thing now too. Well, there is a post-credits scene. What? Yeah, that hints at what's going on with that. Oh, is that what it's hinting at? I thought it was, you know, that's so funny.

The Tom Hardy scene? I thought it was just pushing forward on the Tom Hardy Venom. I didn't even realize that that could somehow be a Topher Grace thing. Well, no, it's not a Topher Grace thing. It's just, well, it alludes that there's been a symbiote before, like because, you know, Peter Parker, Tobey Maguire mentions it. He mentions that, yeah. But the post-credits scene like shows like the MCU

where they're possibly taking Venom. I see. So it's building up to Topher Grace versus Tom Hardy Battle Royale. That'd be awesome if they brought back Topher Grace. Well, because I think he needs redemption more than any of them. As it is, I didn't feel like

Thomas Hayden Church or Jamie Foxx really went, oh, that's, see how great those characters could have been. I still just found them not as interesting as Doc Ock and Willem Dafoe. You just can't beat that guy

no matter who he's playing. No, no, you can't. All right, guys. Let's go to another break. And when we come back, we're going to play the game that's going to decide it all. And it's a fun game, but not an easy game, but definitely easier than what just happened. Everybody during the break, go ahead and get more high and drink more or whatever it is you do while listening to the show. Everything's going to get easier from here and we'll be right back we're back and brandon collins since he won the first game he gets to go first in a little game i call filmily feud if i had you know if i could steal the family feud

theme music and play it right here i would uh today's edition is called uh the food edition of family filmily feud so you might as well even call it filmily food and here's how it works brian chad and brandon brandon will go first in the first round each of you will get a chance to go first in this game just to uh keep it fair but if we have to go to a tiebreaker then brandon will get to go first because he won that first game sort of now honestly, you guys, you need to get together and make your voices sound more different. So I don't get confused. I know Chad would go more nasal if he wanted to. Let's do a character the rest of the time. Yeah. Well, I mean, I've heard you sing. So, um, uh,

but, uh, Brian might need to, uh, an update on how this works as well. Uh, I'll say, uh, to you a question that I asked on Twitter and I waited till I, you know, received a hundred responses, uh responses to a multiple choice, four option question. I'll give you the question and the four options. And Brandon gets to go first. He gets to pick one of the four. Then Chad gets to pick from the remaining three and Brian from the remaining two.

Sometimes that third choice person ends up getting the one that got the most votes because you never know what people are going to vote for or why, especially once you hear how weird these questions can be. And like I said, we'll start with Brandon because he won the last game. Oh, boy. I asked 100 Twitterers the following question. I put it in their mouths. I said, I wish movie theater snack bars sold dot, dot, dot. And you have to figure out which one of these four options people responded to the most

and you will get that number in percentage as your score for this round. I wish movie theater snake were sold Girl Scout cookies, wontons, Irish coffee, or waffles.

Ooh, okay. Some movie theaters, of course, have things like some of these things, of course, because some movie theaters have food and drink. But I'm just saying this question, I wish movie theaters

had more sold, and those are the choices. Which one do you think got the most votes, Brandon? I'm going to go with Girl Scout Cookies. Okay. Chad, where does that leave you? What do you think about the wontons, the Irish coffee, and the waffles? I love this question, and I do think he's right on the Girl Scout Cookies thing.

I love this question, and I do think he's right on the Girl Scout cookies thing. But I think behind that, you would definitely want Irish coffee to wash down those cookies. I had an Irish coffee yesterday. So your answer is predicated on the other answer going through and becoming a staple at the movie theaters. Yes. Then you want that Irish coffee standing by. Mm hmm. All right.

What do you think, Brian? Well, the tiny percentage of Irish in me wants to say the coffee. I want to say the waffles. But that seems like a real situation so i'm gonna find myself with a handful of wonton but the waffles the waffles you could uh you know use the same butter you know you can self-serve the butter the same way you do with the popcorn yeah oh right okay or would now i'm getting excited would butter that goes on popcorn is that Same way you do with the popcorn. Ooh. Right? Now I'm getting excited.

Would butter that goes on popcorn, would that even taste good on a waffle? Of course. After the Irish coffee, man? Come on. Yeah. I mean, you're going to be shitting for a while after all this. Oh, yeah. I don't know. I think popcorn butter is kind of its own thing. I don't think it should be put on is kind of its own thing. I don't

think it should be put on anything else, but I guess it would be fine on other things. Well, that starts with it not being butter, Doug. Next time I go, I'm going to see what else they sell there that might be interesting. I have a little extra butter on it. Take advantage of that machine being there.

I like butter on my hot dog like a nice buttery hot dog goes down slick just like yeah just like joey chestnut oh yeah i could sell some mashed potatoes all right i know everybody's dying to hear the results, and I'm excited to share with you that my three guests are smart because the three of you sussed out that waffles would not be in the top, would not be in the top position. It merely got 20% of the vote. But 20% of the people that responded

were like a waffle with their movie. So, listen up, movie theaters, if you're listening. And then, coming up next, with 22% of the vote, that goes to Brian. That's the good old wontons

wouldn't that be messy too? that would be so bad it could be depending if you're like dunking them in something but a nice crispy wonton with like some shrimp in there is actually not a terribly messy treat but if you add

like some sauce like some some of that uh orange sauce or something that they give you uh at places where you get wontons then you're then you are getting into uh could get kind of messy you could dip them in that butter flavoring oh my god shrimp wontons in butter flavor. I think he might like that. You know, especially while I'm watching, what would be a good movie to get that with? I don't know.

I don't know without sounding racist. Okay. You could do while you're watching without sounding racist. Okay. You can do while you're watching a Christmas story. Perfect. That's a perfect example. I was going to suggest a documentary stripper, but I'd ask why

we're on a bit of a time crunch. Okay. No, seriously, why? I have no idea. I'm a bad person, Doug. Don't judge them, man. Everybody wanted, well, two people wanted Irish coffee

and that came in at 24%. And so anybody that's racing ahead with their math skills would figure out that Brandon and the Girl Scout cookies got 34%. That's where this whole – Hey, sound effects, Barbara, could you do that earlier next time? This is where the whole idea for this question came to me is i just got that you know how girl scout cookies you want them you really want them like on the off season or when you're

not you know near a place where they would randomly be selling them and so i just got really uh craving them and i thought well i'm headed to the movies why aren't they just selling them at the movies and uh now i have my answer that everybody feels that way. At least 34% of the people would rather have Girl Scout cookies than all these other delicious things that I offer. What a crazy crossover. That would save movie theaters and the Girl Scouts. Yeah, it could save everybody. You have a dispensary next door, right? So people show up, they buy their cannabis,

and they get really high in their car. Then they go get the Girl Scout cookies. Then they go into the movies. And they just got to make sure that they yell at everybody. Don't throw those sleeves on the floor. Yeah. You know, because they're going to. Don't throw those sleeves on the floor. Yeah. You know, because they're going to be all gone by the end of the movie. I could never, like, watch a movie high and have a box of, you know,

like, thin mint cookies, which I just learned recently. There's two different recipes, and I don't know if I've had both or I've had only one of them my entire life. Whoa. Right? I suppose it depends on the last time you had them. No, it's geographical. There's two different places that make them and they both have different recipes.

And then they ship them off to different parts of the country and the world. Interesting. Yeah. The Thin Mints, yeah. Isn't that mind-blowing? That's crazy. They have slightly different recipes. And a lot of people are real snobs about it. They think one's way better than the other.

Whoa. Yeah. Whatever happened to standards? Fucking Girl Scouts, man. They're making their own way in the world. They're starting to rip everybody off off just like white dudes, white adult men. All right.

So Brandon is in the lead here with 34. Chad's got 24. Brian's got 22. So this is anybody's game. Chad gets to go first in this round. And it's a real simple question. I just said favorite of

these and I gave them four films to choose from fitting the food theme and they don't really have any other theme amongst them I don't think maybe you can find something

but the four choices are Sausage Party Myst Mystic Pizza, Children of the Corn, or 50 First Dates. I'm a horror guy, so I'm going to go Children of the Corn on this one. You're taking the corn? I'm taking the corn. Just for the genre alone? Yes, sir. All right.

The poster for Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Netflix. Yeah. He's like Ferdinand the Bull. It's like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre in a field of something. It might be corn. And his head's just popping out. It's like so adorable. It's ridiculous. I think it's just popping out. It's like so adorable. It's ridiculous.

I think it's sunflowers. Sunflowers, yeah. It's a very charming, creepy shot. Yeah, it really is a strange image for that movie, but that's what got me thinking about that, you know, it looked like a reboot

of Children of the Corn, but this one's just called Child of the Corn, but this one's just called Child of the Corn. Yeah. Okay, so that leaves for Brian, that leaves Sausage Party, Mystic Pizza, or 51st Dates. My calculation here, Doug, is based upon you procuring these answers on Twitter and 100 people doing it. The answer I'm seeing is Sausage Party.

All judgments aside for each of the films, that's what I'm going with. I said favorite of these. I assume people are responding like their favorite movie of the four but you know i just don't know what goes through people's heads

because also i mean just anybody i couldn't name just off the top of my head, which one of these I like the best. I guess I'd narrow it down to probably sausage party and 51st dates. Cause I've never been a pizza or a corn fan. And you hate pizza with corn on it. Oh, that's what I meant. I've never been a fan of pizza with corn on it, but I'd try a pizza with dates on it. Oh, that's what I meant. I've never been a fan of pizza with corn on it. I'd try a pizza with dates on it. I'm not going to lie to you.

Sausage and dates, that sounds pretty good right now. What do you want, Brandon? I mean, out of the two left, I'm going to go with 50 First Dates just because Mr. Pizza is so old. I haven't heard anyone say that in years until this podcast.

I'm on 50 First Dates. She came up on the last episode because we were playing Last Person Standing and it was Julia Roberts. It came up on that one. Anytime it's Julia Roberts or Matt Damon, I've always got Mystic Pizza locked and ready.

I don't know how many more people I could name in Mystic Pizza, but I got those two. Well, this was an interesting round because, again, no one took the bait. No one said Mystic Pizza, and in my poll, it only received 8% of the vote. So excellent job there. pizza and in my poll it only received 8% of the vote. So excellent job there. But then unfortunately Chad went with the corn

and only 20% of the people are pro-corn. Not big Jonathan Davis fans. And then Sausage Party received 32% of the vote. So Brian gains 32 points there. So it puts him a little bit ahead of Chad, but ahead of everybody. Because 51st State's got 40%.

Wow. Yeah, Brandon pulled that one out for now he has a whopping 74 points. But again, still anybody's game. Ryan gets to go first in our third and final round. Any final comments about sausage pizza corn or dates all sound delicious that's food would you try them with butter flavoring i've actually never seen children in the corner i always got mixed up with village of the damned and found out real quick that those are the same movies no they're quite different yeah uh children of the corner is real you know it's real basic it's just uh you know there's been seven of them or more by this point i would think

and there's just always issues with those kids that are out in the corn you know just like what are they what are they doing out there? How do we get rid of them? And I forget the subtitles, but you know, I think one of them, one of them is a reckoning. I think, I think children are corn three might be the reckoning. And anyway, I keep waiting for that to get rebooted by, by one of these geniuses that just stand up making just another shitty horror

movie. But with the same name as an old shitty horror movie, did I say sausage party got through 32? Yes, I did. All right, Brian, here's the next question. It's a question, I guess. It's three words. Best food fight. Ooh. Yeah.

Out of curiosity, Brian, what movie food fight comes to mind that you think might qualify as one of the best movie food fights? Blazing Saddles. Oh, yes. Of course. Pretty much almost ends on a food fight right basically yeah i mean that's a mystical food fight if people don't agree you can Robert Frippoff. What about you, Chad? Robert Frippoff. Chad, do you have a good food fight? I immediately

thought of Animal House. Right, because he yells food fight like it's right there. The expression was born. Prior to that, people were just like, let's make a mess um i really always enjoyed the one in uh the great race as like a food fight a cake fight where they like you know try to top all the previous uh you know pie fight sequences and

movies and uh i think they do it i think they pull it off. What about you, Brando? Can you think of one? Yeah, Hook. With Bangarang. Oh my god, that fucking Rufio and his goddamn cakes. Dude, that's still the coolest character. That's still one of the coolest characters ever on set

about that. No one else agrees? Okay. I guess it didn't happen the couple of times that you were on the show, Brandon, but when there's a live audience and the subject to Hook comes up, a Rufio chant breaks out pretty quickly

thereafter. That happened in Sacramento on Saturday. Yeah, it's quite beloved amongst a certain group of people. Or, you know, a certain age group, I guess. There's probably like a 15-20 year window there

where people really got swept up in it. And part of the reason they chanted is because they know I'm not that into it. But... That being said um you did an excellent job of coming up with um the food fights that i thought of i did a little research on the internet for food fights and number two on some guy's list of food fights is that scene uh now i can't remember the name of

the movie but uh james cagney picks up a half a grapefruit and just shoves it in this woman's face and shoves it to the ground and they just said as a food fight i'm like that is just direct physical assault that's domestic violence it's domestic violence with with like you know with citrus in shoved into her eyes like that's got to be so unpleasant you know they probably did multiple takes oh yeah harder jimmy do it harder so but anyway that's in an old cop black and white comedy that i can't think of the name of they also recommend Last Tango in Paris Jesus Christ

it's butter flavoring they use movie theater butter in that movie too I mean Annie Mae is a full fight based on that standard.

Yeah. Right? Yeah, the vomiting scene in Stand By Me is kind of a food fight. It's food that's been eaten, but then they throw it on each other. So the four that I wrote down were National Limpoon's Animal House, Hook, Blazing Saddles, and another one that gets a little traction online for having a food fight is Fried Green Tomatoes. Because Sarah, now I'm not going to get both their names, but Mary Stewart Masterson and the Lady from Weeds, Mary Stewart Masterson and the lady from Weeds, they have a scene where they just pour a lot of food all over each other and then discover that they might be in love or something.

As it happens. And fried green tomatoes. I don't write these down until knowing who the guests are going to be. If I knew it was going to be all dudes here, I wouldn't be bringing up fried green tomatoes. Okay, so Brian gets to go first. Which one do you think got the most votes for best food fight? Animal House Hook, Blazing Saddles, or FGT?

I'm going to say Animal House. I'm sorry. Why are you sorry? I'm sorry. I'm so sad about it. No, you got to rejoice. Animal House. The favorite college food fight. Okay. No, you got to rejoice. Animal House.

The favorite college food fight. Okay, Brandon. Hook is one of the choices, right? Yep. Yep, I'm going to go with Hook. Stick with my original thought. Brandon's going Hook. Shad, that leaves you with Blazing Saddles or Fried Green Tomatoes. Well, as much as I love Kathy Bates, I'm going with blazing saddles of fried green tomatoes well as much as I love Kathy Bates I'm going with blazing saddles

you're a smart player dude you know what you're doing I appreciate it keep up the good work but now it's going to drive me crazy if I don't figure out what the hell that that fucking movie was where he pushed the grape shoot into her face. It was just called a random physical assault. Oh man. Anyway.

Oh, wait. Public Enemy, wasn't it? What's that? Wasn't the movie Public Enemy? No, no. It's a comedy. It wasn't like a serious gangster movie. It's just a comedy.

Oh, okay. Where he gets mad. I know the scene. I'm forgetting the actual title. Yeah, yeah. It's really, I just can't, I really can't get over how blatantly awful it is. But then it just really cracked me up that it was number two on a list of best food fights. Oh, The Public Enemy is what it's called.

Yeah, he is a gangster in it. So it's like not, I always thought that movie was a comedy just because that seems so wacky. That's a pretty hardcore black and white gangster movie. Yeah, Public Enemy. Look at this fun scene where he just shoves it in her face. It's brutal. The reason he's mad is because she doesn't have

any alcohol for his breakfast. I actually get that. I totally get that though. That sounds hysterical. I actually get that. I totally get that, though. That sounds hysterical. Chad, did you pick between Blazing Saddles and Fried Green Tomatoes? I picked Blazing Saddles.

Okay. Good choice. Again, nobody fell for my Fried Green Tomatoes silliness. That one ended up getting only three percent of the vote yeah and what's her name she's in the red movies and her last name is parker oh uh sir uh mary louise parker mary louise parker that's it so it was yeah mary louise Parker and Mary Stewart Masterson in a lesbian love situation in Pride of Green Tomatoes based on a book by Fannie Flagg. All right. Let's look at the scores. We don't need to total them up because Brandon was already in the lead

going into that last round and Hook got the most votes with 44%. That's why Brian never apologized for second place. Animal House got 36% and Blazing Saddles got 17%. Which means our winner today once again continuing his streak, it's

Brandon Collins. Congratulations, Brandon. Thank you so much. I want to thank the Academy. I want to thank Chad and Brian so much. Thank you Doug for having me on. This is awesome. Let's do just for the fun

of it, I always prepare a tiebreaker and I thought this was a good one. I asked Twitter but we'll let Chad go first this time, then Brian and then Brandon so that Chad can get a tiny slice of redemption.

Here it is. Are you ready? I asked, what's the number one rule of food club? Whoa. Number one rule of food club with no real explanation of, I don't know, you know, food club, I guess there's probably something like that that exists somewhere, but I just was being silly and saying,

what's the number one rule of food club. And the choices I gave of possible number one rules are eat up uh don't talk about food club and food club has no rules so yeah so chad which one of those three if you if people see that i'm asking what's the number one rule of food club? Which one do you think gets the most votes? Eat up, don't talk about food club, or food club has no rules. I'm going to, you know what, if I'm in a food club, I'm definitely going to be talking

about it. So I would say man, I'd say eat up. Okay. And Brian, what do you think between don't talk about Food Club or Food Club has no rules? Like Chad, I want to just personally claim eat up,

but given what I have here, my guess is don't talk about Food Club. Okay. have here, my guess is don't talk about Food Club. Okay, so that leaves for Brandon. Food Club has no rules. You know, whether it's real play or just for fun, it seems like Brandon can't lose because this guy

Food Club has no rules, got the most votes at 46%. Wow. Yeah. You all fell in line. You fell in line in your normal place though because Brian again came in second with Don't Talk About Food Club got

28% and Eat Up just got 26%. What? Let me ask you this, Brandon Collins. Can you join us this Sunday afternoon at this same bat time for to continue your, your reign? I should be able to, but yeah, we can, we can talk. We'll double check on that. We'll we'll circle back and make sure. Go ahead and
