Doug hates candy wrappers screening baby sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see because Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug loves movies recording on Sunday, August 17th, 2025. We got a new bee and two old bees on the show today. and they go by the names oh three dudes finally the patriarchy you win something Brandon Collins

Trey Crowder and Drew Lynch hello hello let's meet them all individually alphabetically by first name he is a rotten this says this in his bio on

social media he is a rotten film critic it's Brandon Collins Hey, Brandon. Hey, hey, Doug. I'm a rotten tomatoes critic, not just a rotten critic. Right, but you don't have the word tomatoes. It just says, I am a rotten critic. Oh, that's nuts.

I can talk to my assistant, aka myself, about that. Yeah, get yourself in trouble for that one. Say some rude things to yourself and then call HR on yourself. Oh, sweet. So you are one of the, how many critics do you think there are on rotten tomatoes these days? There's hundreds now because I know a lot of peers from like the AFCA, the African-American Philkrieks Association. They just got approved for Rontamil's accreditation. So there's quite a few.

It's just, you know, the diversity is not quite there, but it's improving in regards to the critic pool. Right. And but it's still like now it's really when you look at what the critical number is, it's an aggregate of quite a few critics. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And also influencers, too. which is wild right well how often is your opinion like if you had to give a percentage to each year review how often does it sort of match up with the critical consensus uh actually

that's a good question i would say probably 85% of time it matches up with most of the critics there's some movies where um critics maybe loved it a little bit more than i did or vice versa but actually it's been pretty aligned i would say the past year or so i think like uh for critics right now I think that horror is having like a renaissance where they were just automatically so bad for so long that now that there's a lot

of quality and more artistic thought going into horror films I feel like they overrate most horror films these days like I'm always a little disappointed after following the critics saying this is a good horror film because I think they're just

happy that horror films are good at all. I think That's fair. I mean, I was really, I was really into weapons. I don't think I liked it as much as I like Barbarian, because Barbarian was such a good surprise, but the third after weapons is cuckoo bananas in the best way to me. Yeah, no, that's, that part of the movie is super fun, and I wish, you know, that's my feeling is as much as I like the movie overall. I just don't really, I'm not a sit and wonder what, what's going on, where is this leading? Like, there's only so much of that I like to do. I'd rather just, you know, kind of know what's going

on and then enjoy some mayhem and boy you're right they deliver on the mayhem yes they did uh at the end of this one and you know it's not too indulgent it doesn't the movie doesn't go on for too long but it just feels like uh you know i'll really embrace it on tell you know when it's on cable and streaming and stuff because because it'd be just fun to just have on all the time because there's so much amazing stuff in it it really is magnolia meets hereditary like in a way that like you follow some storylines and like going five minutes too long, but like you know, it's just to kind of like throw us off

of what's really happening. Yeah. No, and you know, the guy, the Zach Kregor is now, you know, the horror king. Like people love that he's made two good ones. He, you know, he's from the widest kids, you know, like he's his background is sketch.

So it's really interesting that now hopefully he doesn't get pigeonholed, you know, hopefully he doesn't pull an M. Night Shyamalan and like, oh, he's the guy that, you know, every one of his movies has to have tonal ships, you know. Okay, so what do you, you've got a show coming up that, uh, soon there in New York. I got a show called What the Film, AKA WTF, launching at Littlefield and Gowanus, Brooklyn, starting Thursday, September 4th. It's going to be a monthly show where I talk about all types of movies.

The first shows, we're going to specifically be honing in on 90s movies and how crazy that era was. And I got Afira Eisenberg, Mike Feene. DJ Benhamine, Tatiana King for the four nerds podcast on it's gonna be a lot of fun and there's gonna be a lot of good audience prizes. Nice. As opposed to my live shows

I've no longer promised good prizes. I just bring what I can. I love your bags. When you just pull out blasted bags it's like well what's in what trinkets are in that thing? Random stuff and I still have some tote bags the exclusive Douglas movies tote bags. I still have a few of those to get out.

So keep coming as see me live everybody and thanks for being here brandon our next guest i'd like to introduce is our first timer today but is a champion elsewhere on television from uh america's got talent it's drew lynch hey drew hey i was uh thanks for having me doug i was looking at your website brandon and it says uh well there's two brandons by the way um there's a there's a there's a there's another brandon collins and he says i'm an aspiring 29 year old actor who has big dreams and passions ever since at the age of six i have dreamed of becoming an actor but that's not you this one's white yes that's not me i mean that might have been me in a multiverse you know yeah

well in your so 10 out of 10 on your website because it says froto blackens i think that's really like just really great just great and i and that's that's pretty much all i want to say Doug, honestly, I don't, we know, we, I can, I can hop off. I just, I've, I've, I've, I've, I'm overstimulated. This, the Broto flack, the Broto Blackens thing is like way to, way too funny. And it's just, it's, it's like, I'm seeing that it says, uh, medium popcorn. Because I was, I, I looked it up because I was looking to see if it actually said that you were a rotten critic. Um, which doesn't, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not able to see. But I did have, I did want to know what medium popcorn means oh that's just my movie review podcast oh okay yeah we do some goofy stuff

over there oh okay i thought that you were saying like you know like there's like there's like there's a certain way yeah like i yeah i don't know what that means i mean i do it's the healthiest option wait small is it healthier than medium no no small you don't get enough especially the movies over 90 minutes you know what i mean you got to have a good balanced diet when you're you know Yeah, I see you. You're thinking of broader, like, health as in just good, good feelings. Yeah, mental health, Doug. Mental health, yes.

I don't like these theaters that have, like, bottomless just because then there's these fools that have to get up a bunch of times during the movie to go refill their stupid popcorns. They should just give it, like, do you just give them, like, a feed bag that they strap around their neck, and it's so big they couldn't get through it in a 90-minute movie? Oh, are you butter, do you butter, do you layer butter as well? Do you layer butter where you go back and then you get butter and then you go and get more popcorn and then butter? I've never, I've never, because I don't like, I don't really like the butter at all. So I don't, I don't mess with it. But my mother used to do that. She'd like pump and then put some more, you know, like she'd just go back and forth so that the butter was.

Every goddamn piece of popcorn. Yeah, those are the worst customers for me when I were to showcase cinemas when I was 13 years old. They're like, little popcorn, butter, little popcorn, but I'm like, it's going to take me five minutes and do this one popcorn, Phil. Do you ever get the M&Ms, Eminem's request where they say, can you sprinkle in the M&Ms or do they do it? That's on you as the customer, the crazy as customers. You don't want to be liable. Let me ask you this, Drew. Are you, no, we know you have access to the internet.

So we're going to play some games So you have to pretend you don't have access to the internet But for you, because you're good at, you're proven already You're good at looking to step up quickly. That'll be interesting. Just have an episode where I let everybody just go ahead and, you know, look things up if they want to and see how much that changes the game. Anyway, but for today we're going on, you know, what do you call it?

Where everybody's pretending to not cheat. um are you a movie trivia person uh in general would you say i'm okay like here's the thing you guys know so like i can already tell you guys know so many things about like so many things and i know uh some things so i i occasionally i'll be like i i can like on a trivia team there'll be one thing that i can contribute well that might that one thing that one thing might come in handy for you today because it's uh the games have some real twist and turns and uh all i could say is good luck with these sharks that we have on the show today we should have closed this beach for the summer um he is uh he's got an optimistic amount of tour dates is tray crowder hey tray

hey yeah optimistic amount of tour dates i like that yeah i mean like a lot of dates in a lot of cities and but i i even got the idea to phrase it that way because you you yourself on your social media is kind of like we'll see if they happen yeah you know because it's just especially airlines right now how we can't count on them yeah well yeah i had to uh i was in indianapolis a couple weeks ago at helium and i ended up having to cancel a thursday show because i got stuck in minneapolis on two consecutive broken down planes sat on the airport like seven hours or something like that so that's fun but you know you'll make it there eventually and do the rest of them at least that's what happened that time so and i'm in

austin right now uh where it's got to be a hundred degrees or whatever and multiple texans here have been saying like oh you're lucky it's a mild summer this summer here and uh so i don't know what that means for uh how much it's usually baking here but yeah also glad to do the show again with brand i always love doing the show with brandon because it takes the pressure off immediately because i just know i'm going to lose uh so me and drew can uh vire for second i guess not only does it say he's a rotten film critic but rotten is in all caps it's really what i am Doug but you don't you don't you don't that's the thing is you don't mess with x that much anymore no no yeah so that's why it's a dark place over that's why that's that's that's why you haven't noticed

that. All right. So thank you to all three of you for joining us today. Oh, I have one more question for you, Trace, since you do tour a lot and get stuck in airports a lot. Is that when you watch movies? Is that your, the only time really you have to watch movies is on travel days? Honestly, when I first started tour and I could not sleep on an airplane no matter what the circumstances were and almost had like psychotic breaks at some points, because I was so tired on a red eye but couldn't sleep. I dedicated myself. I was like, I'm going to fix that.

I went too far in the other direction, and I've gotten an almost Pavlovian response, and I've, like, conditioned myself to sleep or doze if I'm on a plane. So I actually don't typically watch the airplane movies that often. I will sometimes. It took me, like, three flights to rewatch, not the most recent mission impossible, but the part one, because I know that part two is about to be, like,

on home video, so I was like, I'll rewatch that. It took three flights for me to get back through it because I could take six flights for part two, man. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I haven't seen, you know, I haven't seen it yet, but yeah, I think we talked about this before what I've been on here, but like I was a, I mean, I know I've mentioned this, but I was a huge movie guy in my youth and girl, because of my bed at a video store and all this stuff, but then like in recent years, it shifted more to TV.

I still try to watch, you know, the movies that people. people are talking about but i don't always do the best job of it so i've kind of fallen behind yeah because i've seen i've seen tray uh on stage he fucking kills so please go see him live oh my man thanks buddy i was saying that but more like you know like keep it to myself kind of like um so what were we talking about oh yeah so sometimes when you're on the road since you have like maybe the afternoon to kill yeah the last one was you know me and my opener in indianapolis we went and saw the naked gun uh remake they come out because it's right there in that mall where they where the club is right actually that the

theater in the mall by helium that theater closed down so yeah the closest one's like 10 minutes away now but it's cool it's called the living room theater it's like it's whatever small it's nothing but it's one of those is nothing but recliners there's like they got one of those in the downtown Portland right yeah but yeah but that was cool you know theater was cool and I mean we I mean I loved it I don't know where you're at on that one but I thought it was great I thought it was which one the naked gun oh yeah yeah I you know I loved it but like uh you know it really uh it stuck to the formula in a way that I thought was interesting because you know it didn't it didn't outdated but at the same time it didn't feel like uh modern uh you know so i you know i wonder

how the youngans are going to react to it you know like i thought that i thought the exact same thing because i have i have two middle school age boys and i was like i was like i love this because it's like nostalgic for me because i agree with you it's like they i feel like that was very deliberate they knew what they were wanted to do and i feel like they did it but i did keep thinking it's like i don't know how this would play with my you know with my son or not, or like, you know, younger generations. I don't know if it'll land for them, but... Yeah, it was like when airplane was, you know,

when this whole kind of format, the style of movie was, you know, created with airplane or popularized with airplane, they, you know, we knew, even teenagers knew these were actors that are always in serious things, you know, so we all already got the joke. Whereas with Liam Neeson, he's already been in plenty of comedies. and, you know, and Lonnie Anderson's always thought to be, like, a fun person. So, like, Lonnie Anderson.

Family Anderson. But, you know what I mean? Like, I just don't know. The people, younger people in the audience when I saw, it didn't seem to be too locked in. There was a guy, there was literally a younger, I mean, I don't know. I would have guessed he's maybe 19 or something in my showing, who I swear, at three or four different points in the movie would just yell there would be some certain punchline and he would be like oh fuck off you like that type of thing so that was super cool that didn't annoy everyone else in there or anything but

that's like some of the jokes are so intentionally corny right like people don't people don't appreciate that at this point i don't think i don't know right um that's so funny though like there was like there were some people sitting by me they would go yeah right like when like it when an extra hand would come like anytime something was an abstract they'd at they'd respond to it like they were watching a real cop movie

right yes that's what this guy was doing too yeah it's like you didn't know what you were getting into and I guess he didn't you know it's like you really don't think they did that on purpose you know but yeah yeah it's a it's an interesting experience and I'm glad

you know I'm glad that everybody's talking about it and raving about it. All these movies this year that I've found some movies that I've really enjoyed, but they're not the ones that everybody's been raving about, but I'm just glad that there's, you know, just enough movies

for, you know, everybody to have something that they like. Before we play some games today, I would like each one of you to recommend one movie. One movie only, so make it good. Brandon?

You're up first. Oh, right. I'm actually going to go with a Don't Think Twice. It's a Microbiglia movie about a group of improvisers and like two, one of them gets on like an S&L type of show. It's a really good drominy, Chris Getherd's in it. I watched it recently. And it's a lot sadder than I remember,

but it's really well put together. And I think it does a really good job of kind of exploring the torture comedian. Yeah, I'd still say the main cast of that movie. It's probably one of the few movies out there where I think, Every single one of them has been on one of my podcasts at one time or another. It's a fantastic cast, but it was so funny. When you said don't think twice, I didn't think of that movie. I was just like, oh, right, what horror movie is this?

Doesn't that sound like every other horror movie that comes out? Don't think twice. Oribly twice. I got you. Yeah, yeah. So I was originally like, this sounds like a horror movie. but it is horrifying if you are you know feel like you're not good at improv if you just love comedy so much yeah um i think it's even like it's supposed to kind of

take place in like kind of a UCB kind of world yeah yeah it's really good i think it's probably one of the few movies if not the only that kind of captures what doing improv is like and being part of an improv group and do live comedy just like how crushing it could be when no one shows up for your show and it's just it's really good you know showing those emotions and impact well that's an awesome recommendation i'm sure it's available on one of the one of the streamers or or to pay a couple bucks to see and i think it's worth it uh drew would you like to yeah um it's kind of it's kind of a little bit i mean it's been out for a bit but i I watched it on a flight recently. I saw that, I looked over, I saw that Trey was just dozing off. So I was like, you know what? I'll go ahead and watch. And I saw Gladiator 2.

So I'm sure you guys already, I'm sure you guys have already talked about it. But I saw it and I liked it. It's long. And it took me two flights, but I actually really liked it. I love that we can break these things up this way. I just like, you just know you can catch the rest of it. on the next flight um yeah i thought it was fine i don't know you know i didn't really it hasn't come up much as something that people recommend like are you a big fan of the first gladiator i am and

i actually saw it like like i saw gladiator the first one like very recently for the first time like very recently and like way too long too much time had passed before i had seen the first one. And I really liked the first one. So when that second one came out, it was kind of like, it was almost like I was binging. That's how soon after I, the second one came out after the first time I had seen the, the first one. Did your other guys see that one? Oh, yeah. I still haven't because I kind of did what I was going to do a version of what Drew did, except of course I've seen the first gladator multiple times. But again, I have middle school age sons. So when Gladiator 2, and I've been going back through a lot of, you know, like the Terminators, the aliens, predators, you know, that type of stuff with them now that they're like teenagers.

And so I was like, Gladiator 2 is about to come out and so let's watch Gladiator, right, to get ready for that. And we watch Gladiator and like it, you know, because it's a lot less, like, it's more introspective and it's like gets heavier and stuff. it's more dramatic than obviously it's got a lot of kick-ass stuff in it too but um you know it just it wasn't like a huge hit with him so i haven't uh we haven't gone back to gladiator too yet because i'm trying to decide if i'm not to watch it on my own or not you know because they always pick something else whenever it comes up it's so wild how like he really in his you know first five, six, seven roles in Hollywood Russell Crow was like so versatile

and charismatic and just a movie star and then now I think he show his old stuff to younger generations I think they just don't see it, they don't get it. Well, if he opened with Les Mis, yeah, they're going to be confused. Yeah, exactly. That's where it really started to come apart.

But he's still, he's like he's so good in I you know this is a movie that movie nerds bring up all the time but but uh nice guys is such a great movie yeah and he is so good in it and uh it's just weird that he's sort of like and i think part of it is like his like off camera reputation is that he's got crazy is that he's an a hole you know so like maybe that colors it a little bit i don't know i just uh you know the first few movies I saw that guy and I was just like this guy's amazing um all right thank you drew tray what's your recommendation uh it's already talked about the naked gun and i mean i'm sure that it's been talked about plenty anyway i'm i mentioned i'm in austin texas right now and i guess

maybe that's why i hadn't even really considered that until now but last night in my hotel after the shows i rewatched uh Bernie richard linklater's oh yeah 2011 starring jack black and Matthew McConaughey. Oh, that movie's awesome. It's so, I feel like it's Linklater's, in my opinion, maybe most underrated movie. For sure. And one of Jack Black's most underrated movies, too.

And I, you know, I rewatched it last night. Absolutely loved it all over again. The, like, it takes place in East Texas and, like, the sort of, and I'm not from East Texas, but you probably can't tell, but I am from the South. But, like, East Texas is the southeast part of Texas, so I still very much, like, do relate to all that. And it's so authentic, obviously, Linklators from the area, too, and everything.

And the people that got in at the casting. And I don't know. It just really, really, really lands for me. And I feel like it's a different thing from Jack Black than what people normally say that he absolutely knocked out of the park, in my opinion. So I just love that movie. She's in that, right? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, she's great. And Matthew McConaughey's good in it. And, yeah, it's very entertaining because also it's like they just sort of use a lot of the actual people that do the real-life characters. Right, because it's a real, it's a true story about this mortician who became a personal assistant to this rich lady who was, you know, a terror that everybody in town hated, the old lady was. He ends up killing her. They all are on his side just because he's lovely and she's a bitch, basically, even though. that's not how the law works but that's like a thing that really happened and that's what the movie's about and jack black plays the mortician but like you said they do like testimonials like

straight to camera office style interviews and all these other people and a lot of those people are just people who live in that small town who were like there when it happened and knew those people and stuff and it's uh it's a really nice mix you know like i don't know i just think it's great yeah it's really uh it's really well put together and fast-paced and And definitely Jack Black is, you know, he's always been a great character actor, but, you know, he's gotten kind of slotted into wild and crazy guy kind of rolls all the time. But this is a real unique for him. And I think to this day, I think he, you know, and obviously School of Rock with Link Later was also amazing.

Like, they've got a great batting average together. having made those two movies so maybe they'll get together again sometime do you hear about this thing Linklater is doing now where he's filming like he's filming Ben Platt and Beanie Feldstein and the third person he's like filming them like every few years

for this movie version of Merrily we roll along so that the movie won't be done for like 20 some years from now but they will all age throughout it Didn't he, he did that again, right? Well, he also did that. The boyhood was like, he kept coming back every year over seven years.

This is every few years over a couple days. I mean, good for him for keeping the, you know, the experimental torch lit, you know, because he's still making really interesting movies.

We are back, and the first game that we're going to play today is called Crude Up or Throw Up. Cretup, Billy. You know the actor Billy Crudup? How do you pronounce it, Trey? I would also say crud up is what I would have said, Billy Crudup. That's why I went to you as I figured you would agree. Yeah, why? Because is that wrong?

Are we both wrong? I swear it might be like crude up, you know, it might be one of those ones like, you know, Shirley's Theron, Theron, you know, like these subtle differences that some actors will just let people go for years saying their name wrong because it's just easier than correcting everybody. Okay, but anyway, here's how Crudorpe or Throwup works. He's an actor, he's been in a bunch of big movies. I'll name a movie.

You tell me if Crudup is in it or if somebody throws up in it or if both are in the same movie, both Billy Crittip and Thrill Up. I'm always talking about movies that are for and not for metaphobes, so that somewhat inspired this game because I think there's too much throwing up in movies, personally. I think, you know, a lot of times it's just to, they lack some other way to emphasize, you know, someone being stressed out or, you know, drunk or both. so I'm always warning people about where the vomiting scenes are

and so I keep pretty good track of them so I'll start with Brandon I'll name a movie you got three options spread up throw up or both and then if Brandon misses it then Drew gets two options of 50-50 and if Drew misses it then Tray will get the first give me point of the game which happens any time the third person has only one option left.

And it does happen. Ready, Brandon? Sure, let's go. Credo, throw-up, or both, the motion picture, stand by me. Stand-by-me. Yeah, I'm going to go with throw-up? Between credit-up, throw-up, or both, you're saying throw-up. No credit-up.

No, because that's, yeah, I think that's before he blew up. He could have been trying out to read it, though, but I don't recall seeing his face. I like a guest who knows his crud up timeline, and that is all correct. That is the correct answer. Stand by Me features of insane throwing up sequence of people throwing up some sort of pie, like blueberry pie, I guess. Yeah. It's disgusting. I absolutely hate it, but it's a good movie.

That movie's incredible. That movie is awesome. Yeah, it's really good movie, but that scene, oof. Okay. Drew, you're up first on this next one. You ready? Yes. Okay.

The motion picture, it's called Spotlight. Did that have Crotup, Throw Up, or Both? Okay. I'm going to say, well, First of all, are you, are, are you in a menophobe, Doug? Uh, I don't like it, but I can, you know, it doesn't, I don't have a, you know, a bad reaction to it like, like some people. So I wouldn't say I'm, I'm not phobic as much as I'm just displeased by it. Yeah, I'm inna displeased.

Yeah. I, because I have a friend who, who actually isn't a, a menophobe. Like, he's like, like, he's like, he can't even, like, even the thought of it or like, or if somebody brings it up. or someone even says, like, oh, my God, that makes me a puke or whatever. You know, you're like just saying something. Like, that kind of starts to just, like, he's in therapy because of it. Yeah, well, it can be very bad for people, so I'm more than happy to warn them. Because generally, it's not a spoiler, you know, and it does happen in.

I bet it happens than 35% of movies, you know, but also to different degrees. Like, I don't mind it at all if, like, somebody, like, you know, says, oh, I'm going to throw up. and runs off camera, you know, that kind of thing. But unfortunately, a lot of times they just really feel like they have to show it. And I've been guilty of it myself. I was on a TV game show where we just were always hooking up tubes and pretending that we were a projectile vomiting, you know, just because game shows that was back when they used to be messy.

But anyway, what's your guess, Drew? Sure. I'm going to guess. I'm going to guess, okay, so I get crud up or throw, or, or throw up, throw up or or both. I will say both. That is incorrect. Correct. Trey.

Is it credit up or throw up? You said spotlight? Spotlight. I mean, man, and I love that movie. And I rewatched it not that long ago. I don't remember, obviously, the subject matter of make you want to throw up, but I don't remember. I don't remember that, but I also

I can't remember who Billy Crut up played if he was in it specifically but i'm still going to go with crud up though that is that is the correct answer okay crudup is in spotlight from 2015 best picture winner who was he uh you know he's one of those people in that movie like yeah you know what i mean you know how there's a million characters yes right yeah big on song so i don't think he had like i don't think he was one of the main it wasn't a big role yeah yeah okay yeah he wasn't on the came the spotlight. Yeah,

it wasn't part of that. Yeah, so that's, you know, that was by design. I picked that movie because I didn't remember that he was in it.

Yeah. All right. We're back to Brandon. This is your chance, Brandon, to jump into the lead. The movie is called Big Fish.

Credit up, throw up, or both. Okay. I do remember he was in it because I used to be a big Billy, quote up fan.

I still am like I watch him a morning show he's so good in that yeah I remember running into him be like I know you and he's like had that surprise I see sometimes a white celebrities from like this black guy knows who I am yeah so I know he's you made his day I can't believe he still talks about it to this day McKenzie from the OC they're like a black guy likes me he's like Troto Blackens talk to me Big fish that was such a weird Tim Burton movie but I don't remember vomited it. So I'm going to go with just crud up.

I mean, your deductions are amazing because that is the correct answer. And there is gagging and coughing, but no puking. Oh, come on. Yeah, they don't ever actually

you know, cough it up. Doesn't somebody have tuberculosis or something? Oh, is it Timberta movie? Yeah, yeah. Somebody's got a problem. so they're always, you know, are like a drinking problem. Yeah, the blood on the handkerchief. Yeah, exactly. All right, Drew, let's get you on the board, buddy.

Okay. Almost famous. Okay. Real quick, though. Like, you know, some people have the, they have the reaction to the word. I really don't like the word, but, you know, the word moist? Like, is there, is there a phobia for that? Is there an actual term for that, like, how it there is, for,

throwing up? I bet you there is, but it's probably more of a label of, you know, people who have a word that they have a problem with. Because I know a lot of people don't like moist, but I'd be shocked if there's a specific name for the, you know, I mean, I personally, I call them Moisties, but, you know, like, I don't know if there's really anything out there. Well, that's the question. Okay. Yeah. Sorry, which one is it? What's it called again? Almost famous.

Almost famous. And I get between throw-up, crud up, or both? Correct. I'm going to say throw-up. Incorrect. No. What? I said I feel the same way I did about Spotlight, but that's obviously a rock star movie.

So maybe in a party and saying somebody threw up or something, and I don't remember it. So I'm going to say both. Both is correct. Got it. We got a tie game. Crutup and another character, what's her name? Danny Lane, played by Kate Hudson. They both have individual vomiting moments in Almost Famous.

And like you said, it was a movie about rock stars. So, of course, vomiting has to occur, you know, both alcohol and drug related. You know, one's funny and the other one's sad. allegedly okay back to you Brandon if you get this next one right well no

we'll keep going this is interesting alright credit up for both the cinema the Snyder versus watchmen oh watchman

well I know he's in that because he works with Zach Snyder I don't remember vomit though There's a lot of violence in that movie So I'm gonna go with just crud up That is incorrect Oh Drew Brandon really laid it out for you there

Holy crap Oh dude I'm so moist All right I'm gonna say I am gonna go with I'm gonna go with both here Both is correct Yes Yes, there is

vomiting and Prud up. Probably someone who sees Crotup standing there with the big blue dick hanging out. I mean, that movie's got everything.

I don't think there's anything that isn't in Watchmen. That's true. But yeah, I think probably there's this, isn't somebody terribly hung over at some point, one of the superheroes.

Yes. Cy, what's the name? Silk's, silk sater what's her name silk something um she gets she's vomits from being uh hung over or maybe it's because she's uh pregnant there's a pregnancy yeah pregnancy comedy um used to be in movies if if they went to the doctor and the rabbit died that meant they were pregnant but then it evolved into whenever woman throws up in a movie you know that she's pregnant um who got the oh so we're

come to Trey this is for the win Trey Mo from just a few years ago I think 7 2017 Alien Covenant I definitely watched I only watched that one once

I've seen all of them and that one's not that great so I just watched it once when it came out Danny McBride plays a guy named Tennessee in it. I mean, those movies are all the alien. I don't know the answer, obviously.

So I'm just going to say throw up because I can't remember if he was in it or not and those movies always have a bunch of gross shit. So I'll just say throw up. Throw up is incorrect, Brandon, for the win. I'm going to say both because I know for a fact that he's in it. Crotup is in it. And not only is there puking,

but it's bloody and from one person on to another person. Right. Congratulations, Brad did. You saved us from having to do one more. And the final one is going to be eat, pray, love. Oh, God. I mean, there is vomit in that one, but not from the movie. No, yeah.

From the audience. It's just to people seeing the movie. All those rotten critics out there vomiting in their seats. And, yeah, that's a credit up, I guess. I guess she gets involved with, like, three different men, like in the three different stages of the story, I think. And I think credit's one of them with Julia Roberts. All right, we got to move it along.

Congratulations, Brandon. You won that first game. But as oftentimes winner on this show, you know that doesn't mean squat. And we'll deal with that after these messages. we'll be our B we are BRB and are a deciding game today in which Brandon will be going first then we'll go to Trey then we'll go to Drew in the game that I call the little search engine that could I typed a word into the search engine on IMDB once I tell you what that word is the three of you will take turns naming movies that you think would be

In the top 10, right now today on IMDB, most Googled basically, but on IMDB on their search engine, if you guess a movie that's in the top 10, you get points, and you'll each get three guesses total, but we'll take turns guessing. The word, I guess, is the most important thing to tell you about right now. We're in August, which is the eighth month of the year. So I chose the word eight. E-I-G-H-T is what I typed into IMD-B. And so we're not talking about eight A-T-E, which would make for a shitty game because there's only two movies that have the word eight A-T-E in the title,

one of which is the cars that ate Paris. so anyway so it's it's eight and here's another sidebar interesting factoid about this top ten movies with the word eight in the title is only one of them only one movie on the list is part of a series of you know is the eighth movie in a series or you know a sequel with eight in the title so don't worry about you know like nightmare at home street part eight like that kind of kind of thing you know like it's okay but you can't have the new the number in it right like the new numerical not well it could be either because they you know they'll give you both so it's either either written out eight or or the number okay numeral eight brandon what is your first guess i mean i'm gonna wrap detroit eight mile i'm glad that detroit is getting wrapped here on Douglas movies as well it should be

because holy shit mom spaghetti it is number four on the list There's vomit in that movie There is vomit in that movie There is vomit there Yeah when you're nervous you do that Because he gets so nervous

That he has to like you can't You can't just show somebody Just shaking and sweating Like the vomit really Really dramatizes the problem and then that's where the metaphobes just check out. So number four on the list

means Brandon is out of the gate here and the first guest was seven points and number four on the list is taken. So now we go to Trey. Can you think of a movie with eight in the title that might rank higher? Okay. So just to be clear,

it can also be the number eight, like the numerical eight. That also counts, you said. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, 28, 28 years later? I'm going to give you a zero for that one. Okay.

But also, there's no, there's no, like, 18, 28, 38, 48, 48. Okay. All right. All right. I didn't realize that. But we found out the hard way, but we'll get back to the. Okay. Man, I really thought I thought I had that, because I,

I was like, you know, that's a do movie just came out. This is going to be number one. I was pumped. It was super, super, super smart thinking. And I think if I typed the number two in, it definitely would have come up. But this is really, this thing is focused on eight. Okay. Yeah.

It's not even like, it's not even like a, you know, a hyphen in any of these eights. They're all just pretty much straight up eights. But you'll see. It gets a little tricky. But Drew, what's your first guess? So I'm going to say eight crazy nights, Adam Sandler's animated movie, it came out like forever ago. Yeah, it's been, I guess it's, at this point, it's considered a classic, especially for the Jewish community when they're sitting around going, what are we going to watch when a million, you know, Christian Christmas movies comes out. And it is.

Also probably being searched because, you know, Adam is having such a great, he's got a great big hit with Happy Gilmore 2. So it's number eight on the list. Yes. Drew gets three points. Still anybody's game at this point. But we go to Brandon for his second guess. Okay. I'm going to go hateful eight.

number one are you serious oh shit what yeah what is it the hateful eight is that because it's on Netflix

okay I guess I don't know what what would prompt people to be so fired up hatefully right in this moment other than a lot of talk

about you know Tarantino and handing over you know the sequel to once upon time and Holly was going to be directed

David Fincher. Yeah, that's pretty interesting. I thought you were a third, you know, he's like, well, I'm, David Fincher and I are the two best directors that exist. So this is, this is what, such a great match. I mean, yeah, it's a lot. But I mean, I do appreciate when really good writers work a really good directors, because we usually get something fantastic. I mean, I, I, I'm totally down with it.

And it's going to be like a series, right? It's not just a, it's not a movie. I'm not sure No it's going to be a movie Oh okay I thought it was going to be a series I think this is supposed to be Tarantino's last movie

And he decided he didn't want to make it And that's when Brad Pitt took the picture right He also had this thing called the film critic He was going to do but then he got He decided he didn't want to do that And then he started writing about Cliff Booth And he says that he wants somebody else to direct it Because he's already directed Cliff Booth

He wants to see what somebody else would do With the character But he's writing it And I thought it was a series but maybe it's a movie, but the whole thing's confusing because, you know, that's just Tarantino in general until you actually see the thing. And then go, oh, okay, I get it.

It's going to be in two parts or whatever. I will say that April 8 on Netflix is broken up like a series. It's not a straight movie. Yeah, yeah. It's kind of weird. Like, it's like four episodes or something. And I didn't get it. I watched it that way just for the hell of it.

And it didn't really, it works fine just as a sit-through at once. All of it. once kind of experience. Okay. Brandon's got 17 points now, so Trey, it's really, this would be great if you could get nine points on the board right now by naming the number

two movie that has eight in the title. Well, what happened last time, messed up what my plan was going to be. And also, when he said a hateful eight, I heard April 8 and you said that was number of which that happens to be my birthday.

And I was like, I was excited for a second. I was like, they made a movie about, not about my birthday. It probably would have been about Kurt Cobain killing himself because that happened on my birthday. But anyway, I didn't know. Yeah, sorry. I didn't mean to bring that up. You kind of brought it up, Brandon.

Anyway, I'm sure this is going to be number two, I'm sure, because of the enduring cultural relevance of this movie. But I'm going to go with the David Arquette vehicle, eight-legged freaks about mutant spy. from like 1999 or something like that? I don't know the year, but I do know that it made it on the list. And it's number nine on the list. All right.

So, you know, you save yourself from embarrassment. You know, you have two points on the board now. But the chances of winning this thing have gone out the window with those eight-legged freaks. darn Drew come on Give me one that's way up there on the list I'm going to go with Oceans 8 The female cast

Of all female cast Of heist Yeah and the only one on the list That I consider to be You know part of a series And it is number three On the list So excellent job

Drew, you've got eight more points. You could still win this thing. But Brandon gets to come up with his third guess. And if he lands anything in the top, like six or seven, he's sealed up the win for sure. Okay. Okay, there's this really, I think it was so on Disney Plus the other day. It's Paul Walker.

I don't think it's going to be like at the top, whatever. but it's called eight below that's your guess yeah from 2006 it's number seven on the list what are people looking at that up I have no idea

but it's number seven so that gives you three more points and pardon me four more points and a grand total of 21 right yeah 21 points so I think Brandon just won the game with that

but Trey that's just for fun let's see what else I mean I'm I don't know I'm out over here is there a movie called what about hard eight is that yeah hard eight hard eight number 10 on the list it was Paul Thomas Anderson's first movie that's right from 1996 I recommend it very much it's really

I like it a lot. But that gives you one more point. What were you going to say, Drew? Do you have one more go? Oh, sorry. I didn't want to interrupt. I was just going to say, what about eighth grade? Does that count?

Would that count as one, the Bo Burnham's movie? Like I said earlier, it's a little tricky to answer that without giving too much away. But it really is all of them except for one or just really just eight, like just not really, you know, just a separate word in the title or, you know, or number. um so that one's not on here and that might be why is because eighth is so so different for me you know that this that's the other thing is you can't trust the i mdb because like don't throw words in the don't throw in the don't even have the word eight in them so like you know i'm just like what what's going on here um so it's not very reliable but that's that's part of the fun so no so that's an incorrect guess on eighth grade but uh still respect

finished by everyone but brandon as our winner before i reveal the rest of the answers you get to do your plugs first what would you like to promote yes i have a show coming up in brooklyn new york on thursday september 4 called what the film aka w tcf you can get tickets for that at frodle blackins you can follow me on instagram at froto underscore blackins thanks so much Doug thank you dude playing with everybody yeah we'll have you back on soon and uh before we get to plug from Drew and Trey, let me go down the list of what you missed. Just that, for curiosity's sake, I looked at numbers 11 and 12 on the list where 11 was eight men out, and then number 12 was a tricky one because it was that eighth part

in the Fast and Furious saga, the eight and the furious. That was going to be the second guess, I guess it would have been 12, but I thought, after you said that thing about the two and the eight, I was like, well, it can't be F and eight either, but anyway. No, they just, you know, on the list, it just says F, A, T, E, it doesn't have. I just remembered another movie. Is eight heads in a duffel bag on this? Is it in the top of hand?

That was eight heads. It wasn't nine heads? Oh, is it nine heads in a duffel bag? I forget things. I think when you're right, it might be eight, but that's a very forgettable movie. So it didn't make the list So we got eight-legged freaks Eight crazy nights

Eight below You guys all said those Bravo And then number six Four words The six triple eight They're filmed from last year With Carrie Washington

About the The lady Pilots Black lady pilots Were they post women? Postwoman I meant But they had to go to Europe and get a bunch of mail to the troops. Right?

Yep. Yep. Yeah. Okay. The number five is the, this is the one to me, it was kind of tricky, is because it's eight and a half. The Spilini movie from 63. Don't get around a bunch of film snobs and say, what's eight and a half?

I'll get you in hot water. I guess it's immediately just about nine and a half weeks and that's obviously not the same movie. No, not at all. There we had eight mile an ocean eight and then number two, the only one of the top ones that you guys didn't land on

and probably for good reason because I liked it, but you know, a lot of people were down on it as being too much of like Spielberg knockoff. Super eight. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

up some reason people are looking that up Drew Lidge fantastic first appearance on the show did you have a good time I did I learned a lot and I have still so much more
