Doug hates candy wrappers, squeezy baby sticky seeds With 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth There's still not one that he won't see But Doug loves movies Applause Hey, hey, hey, South by Southwesters, my name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies. That was pretty good.

I give you a B plus. Coming to you from Esther's Follies as part of South by Southwest Comedy in Austin, Texas. I've said that a bunch of times, maybe like 17, I don't know how many times we've been here, but it's been, it's been quite a ride. And today is Monday. It's a Monday and this crowd's out here having fun. Monday, March Plugs. All right, calm down. Oh, you calmed down too fast. I take it back.

I don't mean it. Doug Lowe's Movies is coming to Bakersfield, California at the Well Comedy Club on Sunday, March 23rd at 420. and we're also going to be live streaming once again from Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles on Monday, March 24th, 730 Pacific Time. You can go to dynastytypewriter.com for information to see it live or to watch the live stream. And then all of my other dates and dates and links are at Douglovesmovies.com. You forgot. Yeah, one guy's doing all of it. You forgot. Yeah. And then Ted dancing.

But anyway, great job everybody. Yeah, let's find out what's in the prize bag. Prize bag, prize bag, prize bag, prize bag, prize bag. Yeah, this just in. I guess three copies of it? You want to give one person three posters? Alright. That guy is into it.

Yeah. Alright, so there's the beautiful South by Southwest comedy poster for this year. They make a new one for every year and they're always quite cool. So someone's gonna win these. And also in this Douglas movies tote is a hat from a very cool charity called Comedy Gives Back. They like help comedians in need. Also from my hotel room a copy of Texas Monthly. Get all cut up on all the Texas shit going on. We got some pins, a Doug Benson pin and a Doug Loves Movies pin. And for my friends at Titmouse, the animation outfit,

they made their own little dugouts with the little fake cigarette inside, real old school. And it says Titmouse on it, so you can just be like, it's a Titm, officer, or whatever, if you get in trouble. So all of that, I'm really glad that those posters are added, because this is a crappy prize bag.

I'm gonna be honest. But it's a good tote bag and some cool posters, and one person's gonna win all of it. What do you say we get my guests out here? Whoo! We always have lots of great people hanging out, doing comedy and all sorts of things here at South by Southwest, so I always get some real banging panels. And this one is no exception.

Everybody, please welcome Brandon Collins, Joe DeRosa, John Erler, and Kaitlyn Palufo. Can I get a water? Just a glass of water. Excess. I left my water backstage. I'm going to need it. Hi, you guys. Let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically by first name. Oh, a can of water just appeared next to me. That's very, very exciting. Thank you for that.

First up, he was just a winner on the show a couple days ago we taped one and he won. He's like a train in a Denzel movie. Unstoppable. It's Brandon Collins everybody! Hey, hey. Austin, Texas, what's up? How you doing man? I'm great, Doug.

How are you? I love the glasses. I'm great, Doug. How are you? I love the glasses. I'm doing good. Thank you very much. They're dark glasses that are too dark for this scenario because I got to read this shit off of this piece of paper. But let me ask you this, Brandon.

You've been here at South By for a few days now. Yes. Do you have a favorite thing that's happened to you? A favorite thing that's happened? This South by? You know, I've had some great viewing experiences and I got to meet my long time crush, Zazie Beats. Yeah.

She's had a crush on you for a long time. Exactly. She must have been so happy to finally connect. It was a great moment for both of us. She's in a movie called, what's the movie she's in? The Dutchman. But she's in a- The Dutchman. Yeah, yeah.

That's where I saw her at the screening, yeah. Yeah, I'm no expert, but it felt like there were very few Dutch people in it. That's a correct hypothesis. Yeah, no, it's a very educational film. You'll find out why it's called The Dutchman. Oh yeah. As you're watching it.

And well, thank you for coming out. I know you could be seeing a movie right now. So I appreciate you taking a break to do this. Of course man. All right. Good luck to you today, man. Oh God. Oh shit. She's making her live audience Douglas movies debut. It's

Caitlin Palufo everybody. Are you having a nice time here at South by Southwest? I'm having a blast. Yeah what's your favorite experience thus far? So I really loved doing Would You Bang Him last night. That's the Bonnie McFarland, Rich Voss. Yeah, I got to tell men if I would have sex with them or not. It was perfect. And they were all comedians?

Unfortunately, yes. So why don't you guys, as a fellow comedian, you probably just turned down every, like you just said no to every single one of them, or did you try to open your eyes to the possibility? I said yes to all of them except one. Oh, Joe! Oh, shit.

You said that yes, you would bang every other guy that was there except for Joe DeRosa. Yeah, I hadn't had a sandwich yet. What was, yeah, right? Now you know he makes a great sandwich. He's probably all about it. I was playing my own version of the game called I Wouldn't Fuck You Anyway.

What reason did you give for not wanting to bang Joe DeRosa? What reason did you get for not wanting to bang Joe DeRosa? Well, it was mostly a TJ Miller Joe DeRosa combo. Oh, okay. It just seemed too hot to handle, honestly. Too much to handle. All right, well, you've already heard from him, so let's just throw to him right now. He knows his way around a sandwich. It's Joe DeRosa, everybody!

Good to see you, buddy. So great to have you here. You were on the show in this very room last year, one year ago, and you schooled me beforehand because I had forgotten, but you were the winner last year. So welcome back. Yeah, it was good to be back. To carry on and maybe defend your title. I will try to.

Last year was good. Leonard Maltin was on, and I was very proud of myself. Yeah, you were like, I beat that old man. Yeah. I fucking told him what was what. Yeah, Jake Paul. He doesn't know Star Wars movies. What kind of weird ass, what

kind of film critic doesn't know Star Wars? And his name is Leonard Malton, that's who. But how are you doing this South By? You had your sandwich show earlier tonight? We did, yeah, it was called The Street Meat and it's a street food, show about street food where you, I have a bunch of local restaurant tours come on that that Specialized in street foods like burgers or tacos whatever so we did that right before this it was awesome We had the pop-up of my shop over at the creek yesterday and Saturday And that was awesome, and then just you know just doing shows man bouncing around doing shows I aired my new special or aired I screened my new special on Thursday Friday night. Oh, that's cool. It's been, yeah, it's been fun, man. What's the new special called?

I Never Promised You a Rose Garden. Well, that's why nobody wants to bang you. I know. I know. Yeah. Just being honest, that's how we do it here. That's fair. Yeah. It used to be you keep it Austin Austin weird but now it's keep it honest. Now it's keep Austin 100. I only go 98 or 99 though because I'm edgy. Why not I never promised you DeRosa Garden? Given that you couldn't even say that once, I don't think it's a good

title. Fair point, fair point. And that everybody from Master Pancake Theatre right here in Austin, Texas is John Erler. I never promised you DeRosa Garden. I'm gonna keep hammering it. Yeah, but it's almost like you spotted that there was sort of a pun sort of going on already with that title. Yeah. Was it supposed to be a pun or was it just that? It was the word rose. You didn't even think about it. But he said it wasn't supposed to be a pun. Well, it's kind of...

I'm not a very kind of... What's the name of your bar? Joey Roses. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I think Roses isn't there on purpose. Well, no. For the bar, yes.

Yeah. But for the album, it's unrelated to your name being Rosa. No, the album... The word Rose is a completely different thing. No, the hour is about how everything is finished and everything is the worst it's ever been. So it's just... It's not, it's, you know. Yeah. You never promised anybody De Rosa Garden. You could have gone with a shorter title like, just like, I didn't promise anybody shit. That's longer. It is. And I never promised you a rose garden.

I never promised anybody shit. I never promised you a rose garden. You're pretty close. I'm sorry I started this. I really am. Let's move on. So would you fuck me? Are you asking the entire panel?

Would you all fuck me? Applause if you would fuck John Erler. Are you asking the entire panel or the audience? Would you all fuck me? Applause if you would fuck John Ehrler. I have some questions first. Okay. I'm open to questions. What kind of promises are you willing to make us? To Rosa Gardens.

To most of the promises. I want every time I turn over and look at my table to have more waters. I want them to just keep bringing waters and putting them here because they figured out that this one can wasn't gonna be enough and they slipped this one in here. All right. Thanks for being here all four of you. Did I talk to you enough, John? Not really. Thank you for asking that. What's your favorite South West experience?

You're like here every year when it's happening. I'm not here. I'm only here due to your grace and benevolence, because we used to do leprechaun movies together. We did. Do you remember that? And then we get a bath. Four or five years in a row we did them on,

because St. Patrick's Day would fall during South By, but this year it's on the Monday right after. Yeah. So I won't, I'll be gone. Also we're running out of Leprechaun movies to make fun of. I think we got up to like part seven. Yeah, but we figured out there was like one or two more. Yeah. Like offshoots. Leprechaun the Hood, right? Yeah, we did that one. What about Leprechaun the Hood 2? I think we did that one. Yeah, we did Leprechaun in space. Yeah.

That's a real one. Yeah, he went to the hood and into space. He jumps out of a guy's penis like alien style, but instead of the stomach, penis bursts. Can I tell you something I've never told anybody? I own every leprechaun movie. Whoa. Yeah. Like in digital or? No, no I bought the DVDs. DVDs of all of them. Blu-rays for the quality. Yeah, no, of all of them. I know exactly how many more Leprechaun movies there are. What's your favorite one?

The original, followed by two. It's diminishing return to the Leprechaun franchise, as you can imagine. Oh, we've seen them and we know that, like, in some of them they're like, the Leprechaun used to be everything he said was a rhyme, fuck that that takes too much work to write that so we'll just have him talk normal for a movie or two then they go back to the rhymes again at one point because they're like that's our that's our moneymaker that's our pot of gold well he went to the hood he had to bring them back yeah yeah you gotta he's spitting bars in the hood he had to show ice to what he was working with and then they got rid of Warwick Davis who was the best part of the franchise he's spitting bars in the hood. He had to show ice to what he was working with

And then they got rid of Warwick Davis who was the best part of the franchise He's the last two he is not in that's right. They got a wrestler like it's a horn swoggle horn swoggle Is is in a reboot where he plays a voiceless version of the character, but then they did leprechaun returns That's a direct sequel. They actually with the leprechaun movies did a direct sequel to the original you know they do that with stuff yeah like we're gonna ignore the sequels and give the first movie the sequel it deserves and they did that with leprechaun and that's also not Warwick but it they at least make it look like him right I think we might have done that one that might have been maybe we did yeah there's another one that's an outlier that's just like it's about a leprechaun, but it's not part of that series.

That's the one with Hornswoggle. Oh, it is? Where it's like the kids go to the cabin. No, I think you're talking about a Warwick Davis movie that's not in the franchise. I think so. This conversation is going on way too long. Well, what's fun about it is we know nothing about the Lebregon movies but you were trying to discuss them.

Yeah. With a man who knows everything about them. Because he owns them all. If we do it again he should come and help. I would love that. Yeah. I truly would love that. Yeah.

I mean you should sit in with them anyway. You spend a lot of time in Austin. I'll give you guys each other's numbers after you so I'm not capable of doing that no no I got a broker this the whole you're a good bro whole situation all right before we play some games today I like to just pick the brains of my guests and have them each recommend a motion picture. It can be from any point in the history of motion pictures, but preferably something people can maybe access and see.

We'll start with you, Brandon. What would you like to recommend today? Yeah, I wanna recommend the 1998 movie Small Soldiers. Whoa! Kirsten Dunst, Bill Hardman, The Voice of the Timely Jones, it is one of the most unhinged movies, but I remember as a kid loving it, right? Like I'm a 90s baby, and then I watched this in a dome,

like every parent in this movie is out of their minds and needs child services going, it's fucking crazy. And toys just go to war with humans. It's amazing. Yeah. I didn't remember liking that movie. It's not like great. It's not Citizen Kane or anything. But is that, does that fall under the like, you know, were you 12 when you saw it? Yeah. That area? Yeah. See, that's the thing. There's a lot of 12 year old, a lot of people, one of their

favorite movies is something that they just watched on repeat When they were 12 and just sort of stayed with watching a long time Gorgon yeah, shout to the organized this guy knows all about it. That's why I'd like him removed Small soldiers all right, yeah, that's an interesting- Take an edible and watch it, you know? You'll be scared, but you know, you'll have some fun. All right, I'll write it down. That's your official recommendation. Small Soldiers.

1998. Kristen Dunst was in it? Yeah, she was the daughter of Phil Hartman. She gets wrapped up in a duct tape and then Timely Jones stares at her and it's like, you're scared? You'd be crazy not to be scared. It's haunting, it's fucking, yeah,

it's like a hobby or a part of no country for old men. It's terrifying. All right. Stop talking about small soldiers. Terrified. All right. Stop talking about small soldiers. Audience member. No, you can talk about it all you want. There's a guy in the audience that keeps talking about it. Caitlin, would you like to recommend a motion picture?

A film maybe? Sure. I recently just rewatched Ladybugs with Rodney Dangerfield. Okay, come on. Are you guys fucking pranking me? That movie's got one of my favorite Rodney Dangerfield jokes ever in it. How's it go? He has to coach a soccer team, a kid's soccer team, but he has no skill set to do it at all. And Jack A plays the co-coach with him. And he drives a minivan up to the field and he's going to open the back of the minivan and Jack A goes, what the hell makes you think that you know anything

about coaching a soccer team? And Rodney Dangerfield goes, as he's opening the back, he goes, I don't know. And he opens it and there's all soccer balls, and he goes, all I know is, I got a lot of balls. That's one of the best Dangerfield lines ever. Yeah, it's funny. I was gonna say. It's funny. It's funny the way he says it.

There are better ones in that movie. I just like, I'm excited to Jack K's in there. That makes me want to watch it. She is. What are you doing with all those balls? Yeah. You got a lot of balls. She's 100% Jack K in it.

She's full throttle Jack K. Jonathan Brandeis is in there, right? Yeah. Yeah, RIP. That's the plot. He has to pose as a girl because it's an all-girls soccer team. So he dresses as a girl because he's really good at soccer and he's like the ringer on the team. Also has a beautiful bone structure, very feminine. He's beautiful.

Yeah, the bow cut. Yeah, he just put a wig on and he just... still... okay. Alright, ladybugs. Joe, there's a theme going on here, and that's old garbage. What would you like to ask? What would you like to throw on the pile before we light it on fire? I actually had a good one I wanted to recommend. Oh, okay. Hang on everybody. Chosen to recommend a good one.

No, this is good. I just watched A Different Man, the Sebastian Stan movie. It was excellent. It was really good. It was really funny. It's really funny for how heavy that movie could have been. Mm-hmm. It's oddly Fucking hilarious. Yeah. Yeah, I don't want to give it a yeah, I don't want right cuz there's Well, I mean he's Sebastian stand it's one of those, you know Amazing makeup jobs where they make him you know, he has a deformed face is a specific. I forget what it's called. Yeah disease and and So he's disfigured and then he gets plastic surgery and becomes handsome like Sebastian Stan and then starts to weird and

Okay, don't give this part away, but something happens that makes him He's he meant he wants to be before he wants to go back to being deformed for because of something that happens and he's upset about it and He wants to go back to being deformed because of something that happens and he's upset about it. And the way that is all portrayed is really, really funny. But not like making fun of people, it's just funny. It's a really funny, wild movie. But yeah, it's cool.

It's not making fun of. No, not at all. And it also features the voice of Tommy Lee Jones. That's not true. And Rodney Dangerfield is in it. Alright, well, John Erler, it's really balls in your court, man. Do you want to side with Joe and... Mighty Ducks 2. Yeah! I love this man. Do you want to side with Joe and... Mighty Ducks 2. Name a...

Yeah! I love this man. Knuckle puck time. I didn't hear anybody else recommend... Back to basic. Why Mighty Ducks 2? I didn't hear anybody else recommend Mighty Ducks. Oh, you mean the second one?

Part 2. Yeah. D2? Part 2. Ducks in a row. Yeah. Part two, ducks in a row. That's not it, is it? No. Does it have a sub? Probably. Yeah, no, there's like four.

Ducking it up? Yeah, do you own all of them? Ducking it up. There was a, yeah, they went to the private school in the third one, and then there was like a weird sequel, I think, that went direct to video, and then they did the show. Then they did the TV show that Emilio was on, but not,

I don't know. I didn't watch it, man. I thought the sequel should have been called Mightier Ducks. There's so many ways they could have gone with it, but instead it's just Mighty Ducks 2, I think. I think that's it. Then Mighty Ducks 3D. That was D3. Oh, D3. Mighty Ducks 2, I think. I think that's it. Then Mighty Ducks 3D. That was D3.

Oh, D3. Mighty Ducks 3. It was like what? I remember seeing that opening weekend. I was like the only person in the theater. No one cared about that movie. And do you know the final total? How many Ducks movies there are?

I think there's four. Oh, okay. I was just joking, but. But now we're serious about Mighty Ducks 2 there are? I think there's four. Oh, okay. I was just joking, but... But now we're serious about Mighty Ducks 2, and that's great. I love that. Do you want to take that back as your answer? No, no, I'm glad I started something. Okay.

Mighty Ducks 2. Night Swim. That's not... Have you seen Night Swim. That's not... Have you seen Night Swim? Oh, I thought you were saying that was the full title. Mighty Ducks 2 Night Swim. Mighty Ducks 2 Night Swim. That would be great. Mighty Ducks 3 All Skate.

Mighty Ducks 4 Look Out! It's a Zamboni. Do we know the actual subtitle of Mighty Ducks 2? I think it's still, They didn't have one? That's with more words, I don't think. That was enough. I think it was, the line on the poster was,

your favorite sports team is Quack. Is what? Instead of his back? Instead of back. They're Quack? Yeah. That's good. That's good? They're Quack in Yeah. That's good. That's good. They're quack in

Yay! So we picked name tags and personalities during the break and Brandon is playing for Red Badger of Courage and Kaitlyn is playing for Eli's Wide Shut and Joe is playing for Josh spelled J-A-W-S-H. Josh. And John is playing for Frost versus Lixen. And it sounds like a cake making competition. First game we're going to play today is a little something I call Alex's Jason and Deb's IMDB game. This game originated here in Austin, Texas, so I like to play it every time I roll through. And here's how it works. Every actor on IMDB, the Internet Movie Database, a best known four at the top of their page which is

four credits in this case to be four different movies that they are allegedly best known for. I will start naming the four movies in someone's best known for and when you think you know who it is, buzz in with your own name and I will call on you and then you will make your guess. But of course you know who it is, buzz in with your own name and I will call on you and then you will make your guess. But of course, you know, the first movie I named is going to have a lot of different actors in it, so you got to be careful to not buzz in too early because if you miss, it's a negative one point.

But if you get the answer right, then you can get bonus points by naming the additional movies in that person's top four. You'll get to guess however many are left, and we'll see if you pick up some additional points. Any questions? Does that make sense? Yeah. Okay, good.

I can't believe I got through it that easily. Didn't fuck it up. Also, there will be a theme that you can also maybe sync up with in your brain. Round one. The first movie in this person's best known for is Interstellar.

I like how you're all laying back. But that's not gonna continue Stellar. I like how you're all laying back. But that's not gonna continue after this next title. Dallas Buyers Club. Brandon got in first. Matthew McConaughey. Matthew McConaughey is correct. Hey, hey, hey, it's McConaughey. You get to name two more movies from Matthew McConaughey's

filmography, and we'll see if they're on here. Dazed and Confused? We have verification from the audience that that is, in fact, a movie that has Matthew McConaughey in it. But I will tell you whether or not you are right or wrong after you give me one more title. I'm going to go with Wiffle Wall Street.

Okay, those are two excellent choices. They went a different way with it. Whoever determined this top four, either Matthew himself or his publicist or something, they chose Mud. Yeah, you heard me. And Magic Mike. Oh, I forgot he was in there.

All right, so Brandon's in the lead. He's got one point. Let's move on to round two. The first title, and this person's best known for, is called High Fidelity. Mm-hmm. High Fidelity. Number two is School of Rock.

Buzz! You said Buzz? Yeah. I'll take it. Jack Black. What's your answer, Buzz? Jack Black. Jack Black is correct!

Yeah! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Game jack! I'll take it. Jack Black. What's your answer, Buzz? Jack Black. Jack Black is correct! So it's easier and quicker for you to say Buzz than Joe? Sounds insane to yell your own name like that. It is weird. Sounds crazier than Buzz. Buzz sounds really normal. Buzz sounds nuts, but Joe! That sounds even crazier. You're worried people will run in and give you coffee if you're just screaming Joe at the top of your lungs? All right, so you get one point for that Joe, but can you get two more points by naming two more Jack Black movies that would be in his top four? Four. I will say, Jesus Christ, I'm blanking on all,

well, let's say Goosebumps. I can't remember any goddamn movies he said. Jack Black? Yeah, he's that. Jack Black? Yeah. He's that guy. I'll describe him to you. Oh, you give me a hint? You give me a hint? The audience member is yelling him out now, but no, no hints.

Oh, okay. Stop. Who's saying that? Please stop. Seriously. Don't say the answers. It fucks it up. Tenacious D, the pick of destiny.

There's no way that's in the title. You should have just said Notch's name. Seriously, don't say the answers, it fucks it up. Tenacious D, the pick of destiny. There's no way that's in the top. You should've just said Nacho Libre, the guy's right. I didn't hear what he said, I'm focused on playing the game. Nacho Libre, I forgot. Nacho Libre, and King Kong made his top for... Kung Fu Panda, damn.

No Kung Fu Panda, so I don't know. I forgot about Kung Fu Panda. I could only remember the shitty ones. My only good one was Gulliver's Travels. I couldn't remember any good movie. You're like saving silver minutes. School of Rock is a great movie. That's my favorite Jack Black movie, School of Rock. But anyway, so Brandon's on the board with a point. Joe's got a point. And John and Caitlin, thank you for being here. Thank you for participating.

Here's round three. The first movie is called Training Day. No one wants to take a shot. The second movie, The Four Sunrises. Brandon Collins, he said his whole name. He got it all out there. Who is it, Brandon? Ethan Hawke. Ethan Hawke is correct. It is Ethan Hawke. Now, Ethan Hawke, that's a tough guess for top four because he's been in so many movies. This is a weird ass, whatever they're predicting. Yeah.

So we got Training Day and Before Sunrise. Name two more Ethan Hawke movies. Yeah. I mean, I just love this movie, so I'm going to say fuck it. Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. I know it's not going to be in it, but I just love that movie. And then The Magnificent Seven. Okay.

I'm just saying movies. I'm just... Yeah, but you know, it's kind of handed to you a little bit this answer because it's before Midnight and before Sunset. I couldn't remember the... They gave all three of those goddamn movies. I can't remember those fucking movies. Yeah, isn't that crazy? I can never remember. Now I finally see it written thing. They gave all three of those god damn movies. I can't remember those fucking movies. Yeah, isn't that crazy? I can never, now I finally see it written out. I see that they're all before.

Like in my head I think, well, wasn't any of them after the time, you know? Why are they all before? But they're all before, before, and before. So one more point for Brandon. Now we go into round four. It's still anybody's game. Is it? Anybody can take this.

So far we have McConaughey, Jack Black, and Ethan Hawke. And round four starts with a movie called Hitman. Fuck. The second title is Hidden Figures. John. Who is it, John? Glenn Powell? Glenn Powell is correct!

It is Glenn Powell! So now John, if you can name two more Glenn Powell movies that are in his top four, you will be the winner of this game. It'll be tied up if you get one, and if you don't get any, you lose everything. The house, the car. What's happening? Doug, no.

We've got some new rules on this game show. Alright, I'm going with Nacho Libre. No, I'm going with Twisters and Maverick. Full title? Maverick Top Gun. Night Swim? Try again. Full title? Maverick Top Gun? Nice swim? Try again. I thought you meant the Mel Gibson cowboy movie, Maverick.

He was just a tiny baby when he was in that one. It's Top Gun Maverick. Top Gun Maverick, yes, that's correct. Alright, so we'll give you that one. And then for his other one, they went with everybody wants some exclamation. Okay. Okay. Twisters was bigger. Yeah. So now we have a tie between John and Brandon. So Joe and Caitlin, sit this one out. You'll be back in action very soon. This is to determine a winner of this game

between John and Brandon. The first title is The Matrix. The second title is Speed. Brandon. Fuck. I was looking right at you John, and Brandon got in there. Who is it Brandon?

Keanu Reeves. Keanu Reeves is correct! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Keanu's got a real fucked up top four because Point Break made it in there.

Okay, cool, that's cool. But the fourth movie in his best known four, Johnny Mnemonic. That is really, that's just not right. It would have been awesome if it was Brand Stroker's Dracula for that terrible accent he did. Congratulations, Brandon, you won that game. Yeah. That means you get to go first in this next game. I'm very excited about this.

And I said this earlier today, that I appreciate everybody coming out to the show here at Esther's, because there's so many things you could be doing right now, including as part of South by Southwest film, you could be watching a movie. As we speak, you could be watching a movie called Clown in a Cornfield.

They took two scary things and put them together. You got a clown in my cornfield, You got a cornfield in my clown. So let's play a game that I call Clown in a Cornfield. In this game, I name a movie and then you tell me if it's got a clown in it or a cornfield or both. An example of both, of course, would probably be

clown in a cornfield. All right, so we're gonna start with Brandon, and then we go to Caitlin and Joe, then John, and Brandon's up front. All right, so we're gonna start with Brandon and then we go to Caitlin and Joe then John and Brandon's up first. So if you if you don't get it Caitlin gets a guess with the two remaining options and and then down to Joe etc. You'll see how it works. Brandon, clown cornfield, or both? The ladies man.

It's kind of fucked up, but I think it's just a cornfield. You're going just cornfield? Incorrect. Kaitlyn, does the ladies man have a clown or both a clown and a cornfield? I'm gonna go just clown. Just clown is correct. There we go Elise. Caitlin is on the board. That's based on the sketch from SNL with Tim Meadows and she plays a clown that he has

sex with. Okay. Yeah, Julianne Moore shows up in a full blown clown outfit. Julianne Moore is in that movie? In a clown outfit, yeah. I got to see that movie. And they get it on while she's dressed like a clown. I bet that's in her top four. Yeah. I'll see that movie. And they get it on while she's dressed like a clown. I bet that's in her top four.

Yeah. I'll say that. Yeah. When she comes her nose goes, ha ha. Ha ha. All right. Joe, you're up first.

Okay. Clown, cornfield, both octopussy. first clown cornfield both mmm octo pussy what is octo pussy well I don't know if you know how numbers oh James Bond oh right I must have James Brown watch me that yeah and then for a second I thought you were talking about the Octomom. That they made a movie about her pussy called Octopussy. And my dick powder and chlorophyll in it. That is weird that you know, she's called Octomom because of the eight kids,

but that would be wild if she was called that for that reason. She has eight vaginas. Uh, God almighty, I'm gonna go with cornfield. No. John, John? My first inclination is neither, but my second guess, which I'm gonna posit, is both. Neither's not an option. That's why I did not go with-

So it's a good thing that you just put that aside. And both is not the correct answer. So now we come to Brandon. Coralfield. No. Wait, wait. Wait, that counts! That counts! You have to be a good listener.

Oh, I'm sorry Brandon, everybody thinks you don't deserve to uh... I thought he got it. Clown. Stop it. It's just, it's just a clown. Yes. Yeah, because James Bond dresses up as a clown when he's, you know, undercover at a circus trying to find a bomb at the circus.

That's so many tricks. It's really stupid. No, he's just got a dumb clown outfit on and he finds the bomb and he detonates it and then they move on. Yeah, he goes zip and he's back in a tuxedo again. Yeah, it's pretty secret. But with the makeup on still? And eight pussies. Yeah. All right, Kailid, you're up first. Okay. Who got the point?

Nobody got a point on the last one. Nobody got a point. I just said, I just said fuck it. I'm sorry, man. Clown or Cordfield or both. Okay. Blood Harvest. Blood Harvest.

Blood Harvest. I'm going to say both. I'm going to say that is correct. Don't call it a couple of times. Blood harvest. Blood harvest. I'm going to say both. I'm going to say that is correct. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

Woo! Don't call it a comeback. You know, I mean, that's when you know it's time to harvest the corn is when the blood comes. And the clown. When it becomes bloody. I guess Tiny Tim is in it as a scary clown. Yeah, sounds very scary to me, because in long legs,

Nick Cage looked like Tiny Tim. And that was fucking horrifying. All right, so wait, Caitlin just got two points. Caitlin, you won the game. I did? Yeah. That's all it takes. You're ahead of me.

Just for fun. Don't you forget it. Just for laughs, let's ask Joe the next one, see if he knows it. Quick change. Clown. Yep, Bill Murray dresses up as a clown to rob a bank. And then John, we'll see if you know this one. Yeah, Bill Murray dresses up as a clown to rob a bank. Yeah, and then

John will see if you know this one children of the corn three urban harvest There's at least a cornfield in there probably wait a second urban urban Harvest yeah, I have some questions about that title. No Urban harvest that's like leprechaun 2 Back to the Hood style. So I'm going to say no cornfield, one clown. No clown, one cornfield. Damn it!

You tricked me. Yeah, they have like flashbacks to the cornfield while the urban nightmare happens. Congratulations, Caitlin, you won that game. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

And that just means that you get to go first in our next game that we will play in mere moments after these babbling endless commercials. We'll be right back! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! babbling endless commercials. We'll be right back! We're back! We got one more game to settle the score and Caitlin is gonna get to go first and in this game we'll reverse the order. So it'll go Caitlin, then Brandon, then John, then Joe,

around like that. And it's a game that I call The Little Search Engine That Could. I typed a word into the internet movie database today. I typed a word into the Internet Movie Database today and I wrote down the top eight titles according to their algorithm. I wrote down the top eight titles that have that word in the title and you're going to take turns guessing movie titles that you think might have made it on this list. So, Caitlin, you'll be up first.

You'll guess one. I'll tell you if it made the list or not. If it's number one on the list, you get eight points. And if it's number eight on the list, you get one point. And then there's all those points to be had in between. You'll each get three guesses total. This will not be easy, probably. But just give it your best and also know that you have a lifeline that you can go to. You can speak to Red Badger of Courage or Eliza White Shut or Josh or Frost versus Lixen. Caitlin, does that make sense to you?

Not really, but I'm ready to try. Okay. I need you, Caitlin, to start us off with, these are all movie titles in honor of South by Southwest. On the last episode of the show, I did the word West. So today we are doing South. Movies with South in the title. If you can't think of one, just say an expression that would have the word South.

You never know what might be a title. What comes to mind for you, Kaitlyn? What's your a title? What comes to mind for you, Caitlin? What's your first guess? Oh no. Detention. Once you hear some two other titles, it might click some things in for you. I'm curious, did South Park make a movie?

We're not taking questions at this time. Okay. I'm gonna say South Park, the movie. But then that's the other thing I forgot to mention is we have to have the exact title. Jesus Christ. Yeah. So that one's a tough one. But there is a movie called South by Southwest.

No, South by... North by Northwest is what you're thinking of. Can I use my lifeline? Yes, it's never too early to use your lifeline. Do it right now. Let's do it. Yeah, help me, girl. What do you got?

Fuck! Oh, such a sad, such a sad, oh no, from the audience. Oh no. We have to do this three times? There's gotta be somebody sitting next to you that can whisper something in your ear. What do you got? Just her. Just Eliza. Southpaw. She wants to go with Southpaw. Yeah. Southpaw is a factor movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Great job. Did not make the list. God damn it.

Holy shit. I'm shocked that that didn't, yeah. Yeah, it didn't make the top eight. But that was pretty exciting nonetheless. All right, let's go to Brandon, see what's cooking in Brandon's brain. What kind of title do you have for the awards? Man, I don't think this is a list, have for the word South? South Side with Me?

South Side with Me? That's the movie about Barack Obama's first date? Yeah. Shush! People have opinions out there. I don't get it. That movie sucked! Fucking first date, what kind of bullshit? Terrific yes, Brandon, but did not make the list. He sucked. Fucking first date, what kind of bullshit? Terrific guest, Brandon, but did not make the list. Just try to stay alive, man.

Yeah, no, you're doing great. If zero points is great, then you're doing it. John, what have you got for us? Okay, I'm gonna talk with my licks boys. Oh, you're gonna go to your- How many times do I get to consult with- You can only go to them once. And how many times do we play? You gotta give me three titles. Okay, I'm not going to you yet. Oh, you've

got one in mind? Well, did Caitlin go ahead with her South Park guess or... No, no, because she doesn't know what it's called. Okay, well there's like a couple of South Park movies, right? If you say so. Okay, well I'm gonna go... If I were you, I'd say one that might be written down on this piece of paper. Smart. Is it written down there a movie called South Park, Bigger, Longer, Uncut? That's pretty damn close you forgot the and in front of uncut but yes that is the correct answer. Thanks boys. Wait they didn't do anything though did they? Were they mouthing it at you? No, they're gonna help me in the future. Yeah okay good. Yeah. Gotta keep them satisfied. You're thanking them for the future. Yeah, I like it

So that was number three on the list. So that's worth six whole points Johnny John's got six points. All right Joe DeRosa, yeah, I am gonna go With song of the South. Now, see, that's the trouble. When you invite Joe DeRosa to a party, if there's the opportunity to mention some racist

old movie... There's a lot of talk about that movie. I feel like it would pop up in the search. No, very smart. Number four on the list. Oh, my God. It might not be a ride at Disneyland anymore, but it's still in somebody's heart. It was replaced by Southpaw.

That is the Jake Gyllenhaal Disney ride. So Joe, you get five points for that. You're in a good position here. After our first round, John has six points, Joe has five, and Caitlin and Brandon are very nice people. Okay, it's your turn again. Oh no. You already used your lifeline, you're fucked.

You don't have a chance. Oh. I'm always shocked I'm invited back. Joe's like, you should have fought me. I would have told you some South movies. Ah, I would have showed you my movie collection. Criteria. Still not worth it.

Oh yeah. I'll give you my movie collection. Criteria. Still not worth it. Yeah! I'm just, I'm going with phrases now, so I'm just gonna say. I love it. South of the border. Oh, that sounds like a great movie. I hope there's eight pussies down there. Not on the list, I no. But that was I like that guest though. Brandon? Badger,

you gotta help me out here. Oh he's going to Badger. Where does Badger have? Oh sometimes there'll be just a movie called The South. Well you know there's a movie called North. There's yeah he's saying just South. We're saying just south. Well, you know, there's a movie called North. Just south. Yeah, he's saying just south. All right, we're saying just south. You want to go just south? Just south. I would never personally take any advice from a badger,

you know, unless I was like trying to like make a dam or something. Is that what they do? That's beavers. No, it's rain beavers? Octo-beaver? No, I'm sorry, the South is not represented. We tried. Yeah, that was that was pretty pretty good guess though. I like the way you were thinking. John? Doug? This is your second guess. Okay. Are we gonna keep doing this until we get all eight? No, no, you'll never get all eight. When do we stop? There's a Gotham showcase coming up tonight. We gotta make way for that. When do we stop? You each get three guesses. So this is your second out of three and you have not used

your lifeline yet. I'm gonna hold off on the licking boys. Do y'all have something? No, you can't ask them. You can't find out ahead of time. Well, I wasn't gonna ask them anyway. And apparently they don't have anything. Yeah, they don't have anything anyway. Are they allowed to look at their phones? Well, I was just saying about Eliza, somebody could whisper into the ear of somebody or something but yeah, I wouldn't, don't take my phone.

Okay, I can't think of anything so I'm just going to go with an expression which is deep south. Could be a poor note. Yeah, yeah. I'm sorry, there's no, there's no deep south. That's too bad. Yeah. It's John's favorite place on Earth. Love to go deep south.

I have a relevant question that I think you would actually honor you would actually entertain okay let's see if I understand it it it has to be a film released in the theater like a TV miniseries doesn't count correct I wouldn't think so okay okay no miniseries on here okay I got one these are all motion pictures I'm gonna go with Southland Tales. That is a movie with South in the title that did not make the list. That's a really good one.

That was a really good poll though. How is that not on the goddamn list? What kind of fucking Nimrod list is this? It's just things that are being searched, you know, currently. So maybe that has something to do with it, is that people have forgotten the great Southland tales. Was that a rock? Yeah, Rock and Justin Timberlake, right? He did that weird killers cover. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is in it.

Oh yeah. Yeah, Sarah Michelle Geller. Yeah, she's hot. But yeah, didn't make the list, though. But you'll see. When you hear what didn't make the list, you'll go, oh. Yeah, you won't have that big of a reaction to it. Caitlin, are you ready to have another fun guess?

I can't wait. Oh. Can I? Did you think of one Joe? Okay good we're gonna come back to you. Oh I just thought of a fucking good one. Oh goody. I hope I think of it first. I won't. No can I can I say southern or does it have to be a southern? It wouldn't work. It wouldn't work? No. Okay. I'm looking at the list and there's no Southern. Okay. You're... Okay. All right.

Then I'm just gonna go just the South side. South side. That's not even a phrase. I don't know. It's a place in Chicago. Even your guess is that phrases are better. What do you want for me? I have so much pressure Elise is fucking fainting in the back

Maybe though, you know, whoever wins the prize bag will give her, you know something out of there maybe Consolation prize, but no, I'm sorry. There's no No, it's side with or without you. Brandon. Shit, I was gonna say pieces of southern wow, but that doesn't work. Yeah, that won't work. All right.

It's just straight up south. Did anyone say south of the border? Yes. All right, what about it? Yes, we're sick of hearing it. Come up with some new goddamn answers. We could be watching a clown in a cornfield. South of the cornfield?

South land. The one that you know definitely wasn't on it. Yeah, yeah. I mean, wait, wait, wait, hold on. Okay, okay. Fire in the south. What's that? Oh no, I'm just like, south. Oh, that's just a guess. Like Mississippi burning?

Yeah. Fire in the south. Black man, think about words we use, you know, phrases used in the south very often, you know? Yeah, no. I mean, this whole game is going south, but yeah. This is... This is...

John, we're back to you, buddy. Okay, I need my boys. Oh, he's going to the Licksness. Ride or die, come on, Licksness. They might have looked something up on their phone. They're conferring with each other. This is incredible. They're talking for the first time with each other.

They've got a lot of strategy. They've got a lot of opinions. This is a great meet-cute, if these two end up having a relationship. I know, sorry, woman next to one of them. We've just made a connection. Oh, okay. They are really hashing this out.

Yeah, they're really having quite a discussion about it. What's your what's your answer guys? We've tried Southpaw just plain South, but that's what you came up with That's all of that is just to say what these people don't want to hear the same titles over and over again We already paid nothing to be in here. Okay. I'm No, I'm gonna ignore you. Do South. I'm going... It's a possibility.

I'm gonna go... You do South. Yeah. I'm gonna do another phrase that may or may not be a movie. It could be the phrase that pays. It could be. I'm gonna go, going South. Were you advocating for going south?

Oh, good for you. She tried to get the Lixons to say it, but they weren't having it. I didn't hear you. They were excited on being wrong. That was the fucking movie I thought of when I got excited. Oh, that was it?

Yeah. Oh, I'm so sorry if I caught that. What a shame, it's number six on the list. Oh. I'm so sorry. Hold on a second. I'm so sorry. Hold on a second. I'm so sorry. I'm going to call foul on this. Because they couldn't think of a fucking thing.

They were his lifeline. She yelled it from over there. She's not even a lifeline. No, he said it first. He said it first and then she was excited that he said it. Yeah. All right, all right. But thanks for trying to show his bumper.

She felt vindicated that somebody up here did the one that she wanted them to say. I didn't scream it out loud. Alright, alright. Good for you. What's your name? What's your name? I'm guessing...

It's Claire. Give it up for Claire, everybody. Come on. She plays by the rules. Unlike this guy over here screaming nacho libre every time. I do have a guess though. For my third. Maybe he thinks someone stole his Libre.

It's Nacho Libre. Okay Joe, what do you got? I'm gonna say South Central. Number five on the list. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. I fucked up. Huh? As the one black on this panel, I should have picked that one. Oh God, I'm gonna be so fucked up.

Now somebody did scream that out, so according to your rule, you shouldn't be able to use that one. Well, maybe I thought of it on my own. Well, never know, will we, Joe? I don't think I won anyway. No, well, what happened was is you just added four more points. So you are, in fact, John and Joe are tied with nine points a piece.

So we're going to do a tiebreaker. And John gets to be the one to determine your fate today, Joe, because I'm gonna ask him to pick between two movies, which one of these he thinks ranked higher of all those South movies that didn't make the cut, that didn't make the top eight. Whichever one finished higher, if John guesses it right, he wins. If he gets it wrong, you're the winner today, Joe.

So all you gotta do is just sit there and bask in potential glory or failure. Can I go to my guys if I need help? You don't fucking talk to them ever again. Can I go to my lady if I need help? You don't fucking talk to them ever again. Can I go to my lady if I need help? No, no help. This is all on you, buddy. Okay.

Two movies that actually got mentioned during this game and weren't in the top eight. Which one do you think is ranked higher, John Erler? Southpaw or Southland Tales? Oh, I see. They weren't in the top Tales? Of those two, which ones ranked higher? They're like numbers like 17 and 22 or something like that. I don't know. The only one I've heard of is Southland Tales. So, that's the one I'm going with.

For the second year in a row, Joe DeRosa is our winner! You did it! Oh it feels good! What an incredible incredible finish. Here's for those who care these are the movies with South in the title that you all missed. Number eight, don't be a menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood. Wow. Oh my God.

Yeah. Number seven, some Jason Sudeikis movie from 2021 called South of Heaven. Yeah, no idea. I guess that's why people are looking it up, like what the fuck is this movie? Then we had Going South, South Central, Song of the South, South Park, Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

And then at number two from 2024, South of Hope Street, whatever the fuck that is. And then number one would have been worth the most points of them all if anybody remembered the classic musical motion picture South Pacific. South Pacific. So appropriate that we're at Esther's Follies. She was probably in a production of that at some point, Esther Williams. But once again, congratulations Joe DeRosa, you're our winner today. Thank you.

You get to do your plugs first. What would you like to plug? I'm on the road with my new hour. It's called the Joystick Tour and I'm touring all around.

Yes. Thank you. Shout out to Badger. Shout out to Badger's. And John Erler, what would you like to plug buddy? Who's gonna be in town in Austin in two weeks from now? Oh good, a good chunk. Come see us to either the Birdcage or Starship Troopers at your nearest Alamo Draft House theater. And if you're not, thank you. Is that for the Birdcage or Starship Troopers? Okay, great. That's a great double feature. It is, it's gonna be great.

It's not a double feature. But for those of you not in Austin, we're on Twitch every Wednesday and Thursday, doing, we show an old recorded show on Wednesday, and then on Thursday we do something new, usually an episode of Murder She Wrote or 9-1-1 Lone Star or Star Trek.

So you kept one of the pins? Well, there's one missing. Who wants the one, what'd you call it? The wooden dugout? Oh, he's switching up? What? Oh, you you call it, the wooden dugout? Oh, he's switching up? What, oh you'll hand it to him? I don't trust you. Where's Eliza, why, hey, you want a pin?

You want a pin with my face on it? Come and get it, I'll put it right here. And then who was the other one, the other one was? Oh Badger, you want the magazine Badger? Do you want this dumb magazine? Or I can put it back in my hotel room if you prefer. Oh, here's the pin. All right.

Yeah, take the pin too. There you go. All right. Sharing is caring. That was so fun. And yeah, we'll get people to sign the poster for you after I'm done with the one more plug. The Benson movie interruption is at Dynasty Typewriter tonight if you're listening this today, St. Patrick's Day, March 17th. So come on out
