Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming, maybe 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. It's Sunday, Januaryuary 9th 2022 and my guests today are two returning champs and a powerful contender it's chad opitz david samborn and greg wischinski

hello gentlemen hello hello i think you uh i think you all arrived here gentlemen but you're going to one of you is going to leave a lady oh wow oh okay or something like that i don't know i don't know how that expression goes let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically starting with san francisco comedy phenom chad i'm gonna try a nickname if you don't mind go for it chad tuck and roll open whoa that's a good nickname very apropos yeah because you're great at tucking and rolling tucking and or rolling Tucking and or rolling. Yes. Yeah.

You got it all. You made me do it like four times on the show once. I cherish. It's like almost like an NFT, the gif I have of you rolling across the stage. And I believe it was Sacramento. Yes. But what we need to discuss is San Francisco, because i was going to see you next weekend at sketch fest you were going to participate in one of my shows there and uh that sketch fest got

kicked to a year and a week later so if you have tickets to any of my shows they're good for a year and a week from now i do love that they hit they hit us up and they were like are you free in february 2023 like yeah pretty sure yeah mine's gonna be late january because my shows were gonna be january 15 16 so next year they'll be january 20 something but anyway uh keep an eye out for that but in the meantime, since I had an airplane ticket and I love San Francisco, it was bummed that I wasn't going for Sketch Fest. I'm just going to do two stand-up shows with local comics, great local comics, including Chad. this Saturday, January 15th at 7.30 and 9.45 at the world famous

Saved by Being a Landmark or some shit San Francisco Punchline. Plus, I'm encouraging people to not come because the less people that are there the safer it'll be. Well, then what are you doing? What are you mentioning for?

I have to mention it. I'm also not obligated to say that I think it's a good idea for you to come. That's true. Don't be there. Well, I'm going to do a show no matter what. So I just hope, you know, I hope some nice people show up and that they think it's worth it.

But thank you for being here, Chad. Thank you for having me. And no matter what happens today, I'm going to see you on Saturday. Yes, sir. Also joining us, a dangling champ living the life of a

champ in San Diego, the great city of San Diego. It's David Sanborn. Hello, David. Hey, how's it going? It's going great. In case your opponents, Greg and Chad, don't know, we met David at the San Diego American Comedy Company show

a while back when we had audience members compete to become a guest on a show and David won not only that competition but then he went on to beat my guests on stage and became a dangling champ

and then I believe it was like a week ago I took on some more people via the Homes Alone edition and won that one. So and then, of course, let me just skip right to him as long as I'm on a sentence with his name in it. Also a dangling champ today is our friend who has won, I think, in the last two or three, not attempts, successes, and was the winner of 12 Guests of Christmas in December in New York. And it's just been steamrolling ever since.

Can't get rid of him. Greg Wyshynski. Hey, Greg. Can't get rid of him. Greg Wyshynski. Hey, Greg. Hey, get rid of him. My God. The herpes of Doug loves movies. My goodness. Thanks for having me again, Doug. Slapshot. You can't get rid of him. Clearly. That's your tagline and your nickname. It's been a good run, Doug.

I have to uh credit uh blind luck and uh good sequencing on some of these games well that's the thing is you never know what's going to be thrown at you but uh david sanborn is taking it on twice chad opens have you ever, you must have won on an episode or two of the show. I think I've won half. I think I've done one four of eight. Wow. There you go. Yeah.

So, you know, you're not returning to us now as a champ, but who knows what's going to happen today? That's the big question. Greg Wyshynski, you were making it sound like you were feeling like your run might end today. Why, Greg? Well, I feel like, Doug, I know you're a bit of a Jeopardy guy. I feel like one of these super mega champions that goes on these million dollar runs and then the worm turns and you stop

rooting for them and start wondering all right when's the next person coming up i feel like i'm in that that range now i've won my million and now the world is turning on on amy uh to get her off the show yeah i mean i've i worry that there's a lot more than just the um you know just they're tired of the same champion as a reason to want amy out of there i think i i would like it to be a show called uh who can try to beat amy or something like that and um she's just there all the time. Cause it feels like that's what's going to happen now. It feels like the closest, what I really want to see, and I don't want to get too far inside jeopardy here for our listeners,

but what I want to see is, you know, Amy Schneider and Matt Amodio competing with one another. What I really want to see is a real threat to any Ken Jennings record while he's hosting the show and just get that dynamic. Like she gets within $10 of his record or something. He does really, he dwells on it at the top of each show, like how great she's doing. And, and it's,

I think it just adds extra pressure to the other two contestants. Because each time he just comes out and talks about what new record she's broken, you know, and it's tough. And, you know, they tape like five episodes a day, but they only have one time period where they let all the contestants practice on the buzzer. And that's before the first taping. So if you get bad luck of the draw and you're in the fifth taping,

you're going up against Amy after she's played four times on the buzzer. And you've only practiced with it earlier that morning. So it's a real uphill battle. It's going to be interesting. I think that's why Amodio lasted so long i think it's just you know it's tough going in against uh a uh a goliath you know but to reiterate i think i've reached the get this shithead out of here uh level of okay yeah you're you're no shithead to uh you know that's that's the shitheads were a thing we've talked about a lot in the past on this show. Now we're trying to have a more positive attitude,

but it's still a funny expression no matter how you slice it. Before these games, it's exciting. I'm excited about the games today. I'm always excited, but today. You know, I'm always excited. But today is special to me because I think it's, I really don't know who's going to win. I also don't know what movies you gentlemen are going to recommend because I'd like to visit Recommendation Nation.

That's where each guest recommends one movie and one movie alone to go up against whatever else gets recommended in the heap of movies that people are intending to watch but they never get to. What's your recommendation, chad oh um i would recommend the green knight which i re-watched again recently and i really liked that movie and i i'm not gonna lie i did not know what the hell was going on for most of the time but uh i just enjoyed it visually i thought the acting was good and uh it left an impression on me. So I would recommend giving it a view.

Yeah, it like hypnotized you into recommending it. You don't even know what was happening, but you know you liked it and that others will like it. Yes, I liked it a lot, actually. Yeah. Dev Patel. Yes.

And he's got phenomenal eyebrows, that guy. He really does have. He's got phenomenal eyebrows. Transfixed me to the screen. The powerful set of brows. Yeah, they're a good matchup for the stone monster or whatever.

All right. So we have The Green Knight. It's an interesting movie. I didn't know what to expect and I still, after having seen it, don't know what to expect. I don't know if I can even describe it if forced to. Let's move on to David Sanborn. do you have a recommendation for us this time i do i'm gonna recommend uh the movie mid 90s it's like a jonah hill's directorial debut about

skateboard culture in the mid 90s i believe it's I believe this is an interesting one because I think it's come up at least once or twice before on this show. There's something about that movie, the people that are into it, it really sticks with them. I really enjoyed it because, you know, as a kid, I was cool enough to, like, play Tony Hawk pro skater, but not cool enough to actually skateboard and watching this movie made me

feel like I was cool again to play, you know, playing the video game of skateboarding. Yeah. But, um, who knew that, uh, he, he had it in him directing, uh, a movie about you know uh skater kids i'm talking about jonah hill of course and um i like i hope he directs more movies i thought it was i think it's a it's well done yeah i really liked it i watched it like once a year since it's come out and just it gives me like a nice little i don't know cool factor i guess have you seen north hollywood i haven't i have not as well we need to see it david because

uh skater friends of mine insist that it's as good or better than mid 90s oh really yeah oh yeah exactly that's my i have a very quizzical huh attached to that and i i am going to check it out i've heard from several sources that it's good and uh it's got uh i carly's in it so you know you can't lose all right is she skateboarding in it i don't know i think she probably plays like somebody's disapproving sister or something okay i hope she's skateboarding she's there catching it for her web series yeah uh all right so let's go to greg uh what do you you tend to i don't know where you get your ideas for recommendations from. It feels like, um,

things that are going on in your life have a, are kind of a factor. They are, but I don't also don't, I don't sleep much. So like there's a lot of stuff that come across randomly at night. Uh, so this one though,

like the last, uh, the new matrix movie that came out was sort of a very meta exploration of of making Matrix movies. And that plus the fact there's a new screen movie coming out made me revisit Wes Craven's New Nightmare, which movie came out in 94. It was famous for being the first sort of meta sequel. It's a movie about making Freddy Krueger movies. And this notion of like Freddy Krueger being a real scary demon entity that's like haunting these movies. And it's got like the real people from the first Nightmare on Elm Street playing themselves.

And it's a fascinating. I don't know if it's all that successful, but it's a fascinating sort of commentary on itself and on making horror movies and on the trauma that horror movies have on the people that make them. And the Matrix movie made me think about that movie a lot because the Matrix movie is basically just all about making a Matrix sequel. And so it holds up. It's pretty good. It's it's it's such a curveball of a sequel that I think it's worth checking out if you haven't seen it. Wes Craven's New Nightmare. It's really good. Apparently, if you get the novelization of that movie,

there's little inserts of Freddy Krueger haunting the writer of the novel with the actual movie. I've always wanted to track it down, but I haven't found it. So they do like another level of meta within the book. Yeah. Yeah. That's awesome. That's so awesome. Yeah. It's, it's cool. And I think you could like,

you could look at that flick and then, and then kind of draw a through line directly to scream becoming a thing, you know, sort of commentary on the horror genre within a horror movie. And so it's, it's And so it's an important movie. I don't know if it's not completely successful, but it's definitely a curiosity and a pretty influential flick, I think. Well, I'm curious to see which of these three, you know, our listeners are most into because they're, you know,

three movies that a lot of people like. If I was forced to pick one like if i had to like sit down and watch one right now i i go mid 90s but that that's just sort of the movie just hit me that sort of way that i just there's something about it it's just there's some unpleasantness in it like between the brothers and stuff but like i don't know something about the overall vibe of it is just so cheerful or, you know, it's, it's uplifting. I feel, but like I said, these movies are all quality cinematic experiences,

but the best one win. There's nothing to win. Really. Wes Craven isn't even, isn't even a lot. There's nothing to win, really. Wes Craven isn't even alive. Thanks for reminding us, Doug. If I see Jonah Hill, I'll be like, hey, your movie went up against two other movies on a poll that I did. And do you want to know how it did? Jonah, where are you going?

Alright. Great job, everybody. Time to take a break and come back with some games. We'll be right back. We are back, and it is game time. Fwah, fwah, fwah, fwah.

Yeah, there you go. I can't do it again You can't do a trumpet noise? Oh man, trumpet noise is one of my few virtues Which hole is that i'll never tell yeah that had a real that had a real uh interesting sound to it all right so um we're gonna play our first game today i'm so excited about this game. It came to me while I was watching television. The game is called

Drag Race Me to Hell. Yeah, I was watching RuPaul's Drag Race, the season premiere, and I thought of this game. Go Cornbread is all I have to say about the new season. Is there a contestant named Cornbread?

Yeah. That's phenomenal. Yeah, it sure is. All right. So here's how the game works. I'll say a fun or otherwise basically just a fact about a movie and you tell me if that fact is in regards

to the motion picture Drag Me to Hell from 2009. Is that right? 2009? No, that's not right. That sounds right to me. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or Rat Race from 2001. Okay. Very, very specific. Yeah, exactly. Or both. So each of these facts will be about

Drag Me to Hell or Rat Race or both. Chad gets to go first. If he misses on this first one, David gets to guess. If he misses, Greg gets to gimme. And so on. First

to two points wins. Good luck. Good luck in drag me drag race me to hell. Chad. Yes. Rated rated PG 13. Is that drag me to hell rat

race or both? Um, I will say both. You think that both horror film drag me to hell and slapstick comedy rat race. Do you think both of those films are rated PG 13? I'm going to say yes. Okay, that's your answer. Here we go. Let's put it in the answer machine and see what noise it makes.

Oh. That is correct. Oh, okay. Rated PG-13 for excessive smash mouth. Yeah, that's for the Rat Race movie. Yeah, that makes sense. Because doesn't Smash Mouth physically appear in the movie? Yeah, at the very end, they sing All Star.

There you go. Yeah. I mean, that's what all good races end with. That's a performance by Smash Mouth. That's your winnings. A four-minute concert concert because it's just that song and then when they start the next song people start booing and then they raced they raced across the country to attend a smash mouth concert yeah yeah okay so david you

gotta go first on this next one did you think you knew that one, that they were both PG-13? I had a feeling. I know for sure Drag Me to Hell was, and I was just going to guess that Rat Race was. Drag Me to Hell is the most bodily fluids you could put in a movie and still get a PG-13. Yeah. It's so gross without being bloody it's so weird because that's the thing

they're looking for is blood and then rat race is just has that like r-rated vibe to it but that's why it's pg-13 just because of a couple of nasty jokes or nastier jokes yeah um some sort of terrible treatment of a cow I think at one point alright David here is your clue that applies to Drag Me to Hell, Rat Race or both

has two cast members who have been on Doug Loves Movies wow yeah what do you say who have been on Doug Love's movies. Wow. Yeah. What do you say? Is that your answer? I'm going to say I'm going to say both.

You say both of those films have had multiple two people on Doug Love's movies. Yeah, I'm going to say that honestly, I don't know too much about Rat Race, but I know it has a big cast, so someone in there has to

I'm assuming. There's a lot of rats in the race. That's for damn sure. But that's where they spend all their money. They don't really run into too many interesting characters along the way. It's mostly, it's mostly the racers themselves or the,

are the known ones. And, but unfortunately, David, that answer is incorrect. That is not, both is not the correct answer. It's either drag me to hell or rat race.

That has two cast members that have been on Douglas movies. Greg Wyshynski. What is your guess? I'm going to, I'm going to just play the odds here and say it might be the movie with a thousand comedians. So I'll go rat race. You know,

it's an interesting approach you just took. And it's a perilous one, because that is incorrect. Wow. Yes. Unfortunately, if Chad

has the ability to remember which of the three answers has not been given. How crazy would it be if I didn't? The game is his. It's happened, dude. I'm going to say

drag me to hell. Yeah, as it turns out, Justin Long, that's the obvious one he's been on a bunch of times but then uh actress named chloe dykstra uh who's been on this show and getting dug with high uh she uh has a small part in the film as well and then in the motion picture rat race no comedians from rat race have ever been on, uh, Douglas movies, but, uh, Amy smart, strangely enough has been on those movies.

So she's the one from rat race and we got two from drag me to hell. So congratulations, Chad, you just walked away with that game. Wow. How are you feeling? It feels like you didn't even break a sweat. I'm feeling like my memory is just phenomenal. My memory is top notch. Can you do a celebratory

tuck and roll? I can do a virtually. Whoa! Damn, it felt like you really did it. Yeah, it was wild. Alright,. Just for fun. Let's, cause I, you know, I'm not going to play this game again. Here's the next round. It was going to be, is available on Amazon prime for $3 and 99 cents. Starts to smell like

I'm doing an advertisement, but I'm not. I just looked them up, the movies, to see where you could watch them and how much it would cost. And so either one or both of them is available for $3.99 on

Amazon Prime. David, we'll start with you just for fun. Which one do you think? Is it one or the other or both? Okay. Well, like most of these questions, I know it's dragged me to hell because I recently rented it on Amazon for $3.99.

Aha! Wow. So I guess I'm just going gonna stick with my answer and say both well that's so funny that even even with knowledge even knowledge can bring you failure that is incorrect oh yeah oh uh you knew what you were talking about but also that that's kind of set a trap for you because uh you know drag race uh is i mean rat race excuse me is uh also available on amazon prime but it's 2.99 it's a buck cheaper oh yeah so it's just i'll say uh i'll say drag me to hell, Doug. The answer is just drag me to hell. That is correct.

Greg is on the board. And then the last one was going to be, and you guys can all just jump in with your opinions on this one. I always look at the running times because I think it's hilarious. I picked two movies that happen to have the same running time. It felt like these should have about the same running time considering what they're

about and what they're like. The answer to this one is one hour, 52 minutes long. Is that Drag Me to Hell, Rat Race or both? I'm going to say Rat Race. Yeah. I'm going say rat race yeah i'm gonna say drag me to hell i'm gonna jump on the rat race train it turns out it is drag me to hell

i feel like rat race was like super short was it super short it cut me off as i was gonna say drag me to hell is 1.30 1 hour 39 minutes and rat race is 1 hour 52 minutes oh there we go yeah but is it it's still uh it feels like they're a rat race is a little too long and drag me to hell might might be a little too short or just i think it's just right yeah yeah that's why i also i just assume they both come in at about 90 minutes so it's actually surprising both uh push the 90 minute uh barrier uh which used to be like a barrier that you know people rarely pushed and now you hardly ever see a 90 minute yeah it's unless it's independent or something. Especially if it's going to play in the theaters,

it's got to be fucking two and a half hours long and then 245 with trailers. Well, they had to squeeze in that Smash Mouth performance. I mean, at least it's at the end. At least it wasn't at the starting line. True. Because then you'd just be like, well, what am I going to stick around until the end for? They're not going to have any smash

mouth at the end. Or they could have played at both ends, I guess. Because they can fly or something to the next. Doesn't John Cleese's character, he knows where they're supposed to be going at the time, right? Yeah, so he's got a plane.

All right. Well, we got going into the next game a gentleman by the name Chad Oak that's in the catbird seat. Only means you get to go first to the next game, Chad,

and it's not always an advantageous position. We'll find out what game it is after this break. We'll be right back. We are back, and Chad Opitz is glowing. He is looking so shiny and red and new after his victory in the never will be played again game, Drag Race Me to Hell. Wow. I was honored to be a part of that. Maybe I will play it again, because there might be some other similarities. There might be some other similarities that i didn't explore uh but instead for now we're

going to move on to a different game a game that i've been enjoying uh playing very much i don't know how long we've been playing this one i don't know how many of my guests have played it but it's a ripoff of television's family feud that i call filmily feud and it's mostly film but often pop culture based questions uh posed family feud style where i did a poll of a hundred strangers uh i asked them these questions and then wrote down the percentages of their answers uh each question has four options so i will present the question and the options to our first player in this case it'll'll be Chad. And then you get first choice between the four options. Then we go to David. He has to

choose between the remaining three. And Greg from the remaining two. And I'll tell you the scores. We'll move on to the next round where David will get to go first. It'll rotate so that each of you will have an opportunity to go first once.

But in the tiebreaker, of course, Chad will get to go first. So that's where winning the last game, that's where the advantage might come. Unlikely, though. I don't think we have ties in this game very often. All right, because the percentages are so specific. So we'll start with you, Chad. Here's what I posited to my Twitter account. I asked, best Betty White?

Question mark. I included RIP for rest in peace. Don't want to be disrespectful. Wasn't saying it to be silly i really want to know what people think is the best betty white out of these four choices lake placid the proposal toy story 4 or you again wow yes the motion pictures of betty white okay the motion pictures of betty white the best the highest percentage people just answering the question which is best betty white could be her best performance in it or her best movie that she's in I don't know what goes through people's heads. Okay. I'm going to go with Lake Placid.

I mean, just classic ending shot in that movie featuring the great Betty White and just showcasing her love of animals. Absolutely. Over people. Yeah, absolutely. Over people, yeah. Yeah, definitely over people. Like, she plays a character that definitely likes animals more than people. All right, so Chad's going Lake Placid on our asses. And that brings to David the options of the proposal.

Toy Story 4 or you again all right i'm for sure going with the proposal okay sandy bullock sandy bullock and ryan reynolds yeah and just the like betty white's face when she watches sand Bullock sing to the window, to the wall is priceless. Like that's, that's good. Betty White right there. I, you know, Betty White's going to bring quality to, to everything, but it is her participation in the proposals. Pretty memorable. Uh, Ryan Reynolds, uh, you know, he's been in love with her ever since. Right. And, uh, um, I mean, who wouldn't be? She just seems like a terrific lady in every, every possible respect.

They're not having kids and being super into animals. You got to love her on both of those counts. Her husband died. She went, she went 30 years to see him again in heaven. I hope that's really a thing because that would be cool. It's not though, right? All right, Greg. What do you want, Flappy?

You want Toy Story 4 or you again well i think i would probably i'll i'll go with uh toy story 4 her iconic role in toy story 4 i i don't remember her being in it was she like a box of marbles or something i don't know i was wondering but she plays she plays old dolly or something i don't know she plays she plays a dinosaur i looked it up because i saw she was in it and it's called like bitey white bitey white that's pretty good wow all right so there you go uh yeah but toy story 4 obviously for her iconic role is bitey white yeah i didn't know when i was preparing this that i had a toy story 4 authority in the mix i just i saw she was in it and i was like no she's not and then apparently she is yes so my feelings exactly um and then you again is a comedy with uh jamie lee curtis and uh several other ladies, I guess. And I heard it's not too good.

So it makes sense that that only got 3% of the action in this poll. Coming in with 14% is good old Bitey White's Toy Story 4. So, Greg, you're on the board with 14 that's better than three percent that's for damn sure yeah next in line in this poll was uh you guys just knocked them off in order uh the proposal at 27 so as you can imagine that leaves a lot for lake placid and chad i was kind of surprised because the proposal's so popular but again lake placid really underlines betty and how important she was to animals uh because i'm sure that that big old alligator is probably not going to survive without her help in lake Placid. And so Lake Placid got 56%. So Chad is in the lead strong lead with 56 points to David's 27 and Greg's

14, but anything can happen in film. I don't have the, I wish I could go to the theme music. All right. David, are you ready for round two? As I'll ever be. All right. It's that winning attitude. They really do.

Maybe some people sense where this is going, but I asked best Sydney Poitier. Oh, R I P. We lost, we lost a couple of great 90 year olds this last week. year olds this last week. And here are the four films that I gave people to choose from on the poll. This was based

on what was the four most popular on IMDB, but I don't want an algorithm. I wanted to take it to the real people. Streets. Streets of Twitter. Yeah. In alphabetical order, the options are the defiant ones, guess who's coming to dinner,

lilies of the field, or in the heat of the night. Yes. David, which one of those classic Sidney Poitier motion pictures do you feel might have gotten the most love in a poll? I'm going to go with Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Okay. uh i'm gonna go with guess who's coming to dinner okay that's one of the four options it is

there's so many like hopefully it should get me at least some points right uh katherine hepburn and spencer tracy and uh And he shows up, their white daughter shows up with a black man, Sidney Poitier for dinner. And of course, just a cultural milestone in so many respects. Greg Wyshynski, of the three remaining Sidney Poitier jams which one's got your eye? Which one are you looking at? Well, real ones know the answer is sneakers

but that wasn't one of the cases. Yeah, it's funny. Sneakers is not mentioned as much in his bios as it should be. But these four are really so big for him for different reasons. But yeah, sneakers is definitely should have been a contender. I see we're doing good on time. So I'll just say one of my favorite things in a movie ever is when Redford's

thrown in the trunk and sneakers, and he knows where he was taken because of the separation between the planks on a wooden bridge that he's hearing while he's in the trunk. It's a fucking brilliant little movie. I really do that movie. Yeah, and he's lucky that they went across that bridge. Right.

If it's like the Verrazano, he's screwed. I'll take... Say the choices again sorry the choices are uh lilies of the field the defiant ones or in the heat of the night i'll go in the heat of the night based on uh name recognition that's where he famously says you know call me Mr. Tibbs. And they even made a sequel called They Call Me Mr. Tibbs. And

I never met a Mr. Tibbs, but I certainly would think of that movie if I did. It's the off-brand Mr. Tibbs from one of his Mr. Tibbs. That's why he's so angry when he says it uh chad yeah you got lilies of the field or the defiant

ones yeah which one of those two you haven't heard of another mr tips because they had to retire the name after that you know he's the there's the only one mr tibbs you don't retire last names. They did it. It's crazy. It was a controversial decision. It'd be amazing if that's the way it worked in sports where they retire the last name not the number.

Another Smith on the team. That name just can't exist anymore. That'd be amazing. I guess with those two choices, I'll go Defiant Ones. Okay. I believe that's the movie where he and Tony Kearse are like handcuffed to

each other and they escape from prison. Like a chain gang thing. Yeah, I love that. You're being defiant if you break out of prison. I'm trying to be defiant. Yeah, you're going to need a timeout after that little breakout that you pulled. All right, so here we go.

Let's start with Lilies of the Field, because it came in fourth. You smell the rat on that one. Nobody fell for it. Nobody fell for Lilies of the Field, but I am going to use Lilies of the Field, the closing line. Lilies of the Field is going to be my closing line of the show today.

Just teasing that coming up a little bit later. Wait. Yeah, really is a reason to stick around. that coming up a little bit later. Wait. Yeah. Really is a reason to stick around. People are just going to hear it at the end and go, what did he say that was from? All right.

Combinated with 10% of the vote was the poor defiant ones. But Chad, you're still in great shape because of that first answer you still got you're still at 66 uh total points and then the next in line in the poll was guess who's coming to dinner whoa scored 23 percent of the vote which brings david to a grand total of 50 also pretty strong score at this point and then uh the number one choice again might be that right name recognition that uh slappy

was talking about in the heat of the night 59 wow bringing bringing greg slapshot Wyshynski to a total of 63%. So it's a close battle. This is very exciting. And Greg gets to go first in this third and final round. Are you ready,reg oh sure why not what if he was just like no i'm telling you david's attitude is just spreading it's contagious and uh this is what i posted on twitter i just just asked the question, best Daniel Craig Bond RIP. Because we all assume that he's not going to be James Bond anymore.

And I put four of his movies in the poll. He's done five, of course. So Quantum of solace i took a i just take it the assumption that that would finish in fifth in any sane person's ranking of uh of daniel craig uh you know it's got some good parts like like most James Bond movies, but I toss that one aside. So the options are Casino Royale, No Time to Die, Skyfall and Spectre. Of those four, Greg, which one do you think people think is the best? This is a real fascinating question, Doug, because I know what I consider think is the best this is a real fascinating question doug because uh i know what i consider to be the best but right there there is a strong undercurrent of people that

don't rate skyfall ahead of casino royale which is what is giving me pause right here. But I gotta be true to what I believe is his best. And I have to believe the Skyheads are gonna back the movie enough to put it over Casino Royale. So I'll go Skyfall here. I think it's like a

perfect encapsulation of not only the Daniel Craig Bond, but everything I like about Bond. Hang on a second. did you hear that no what was that oh okay i had an alarm go off it was a music alarm so i thought oh no it's gonna be heard on this on this thing that i have my alarm set to a taylor swift song i was ready to be very embarrassed. You scared me. I thought it was going to be like we just got word that Daniel Craig died.

Just in. I was like, oh no. I try to keep the, you know, I keep a news blast going during the show. I'll tell you if any, anybody dies, but doesn't have any tape on Sunday afternoon. You know, they usually hold it for Monday. Cause you know,

it's for the next news cycle. Are you going to come clean and tell us what Taylor Swift song it was? Yeah, it was a look what you made me do. Wow. Cause I just liked it. That comes up like i'm already you know i don't like setting alarms in general so whenever i do set one uh you know i like that you can make it a song or whatever but that one also just i like that it's kind of scolding me for you know even needing an alarm to wake up i was I was wondering if it was from the perspective of the alarm saying, look what you made me do.

I had to wake you up. Or if it was from your perspective saying, look what you made me do. Now I have to turn you off. I couldn't figure out who was making the other one do something. Yeah. It's the alarms making me wake up. But they're, you know, they're mad about it for some reason. All right.

Skyfall. That's the one where it turns into home alone at the end. It does. The, you know, the Albert bandits attack. He hits, he hits Javier Bardem in the face with a paint can on a string, I believe, at one point. It's great. All right.

So, Grey Gant, Skyfall. Chad, what do you think? Casino Royale, Spec Dre, or No Time to Die? I want to add about the Skyfall. I think that has by far the best cinematography in a Bond movie.

And Roger Deakins, man, he's great. But I'll go Casino Royale. Also, it's got one of the most meaningful opening themes in Skyfall because it's like, when you skyfall, when you skyfall, when you skyfall,

therefore skyfall. What did you pick, Chad? Casino Royale. Chad's going Casino Royale. I like it. A gambling man. Yes. All right. So let's see here.

David, your options are Spectre or No Time to Die. Yeah, I guess I'll go with No Time to Die since it's newest and also Spectre kind of sucks a little bit. Yeah, what is this thing where people seem to not be that into Spectre, or Spectre, if you will, why do you think people aren't into it? It's just,

I mean, like, what's his name? I can't think of the actor's name. I just want to say Hans Landa. Oh, Christoph Waltz? Christoph Waltz, yeah. Yeah. They wasted him in that movie. He's great in everything, but yeah, he just feels like he's, you know, there

was he is he the one does he take out his teeth or something? No, no, no. You're thinking of Javier Bardem in Skyfall. No, it's it's incoherent shit. And it reckons Blofeld to being like

what Bond's like cousin or some shit. It's so dumb. It's not, but it did have, it's the one that did have the opening at the day of the dead. Right. Like that, that was probably the best part of that movie. And then it was sort of a downhill from there. Oh, is that the one where he's like on a roof and he just like walks off the roof? Cause the building collapses out from under him. Yeah. I think that's the one where he's like on a roof and he just like walks off the roof because the building collapses out from under him?

Yeah, I think that's the one. Because that's pretty corny. Well, there's much more corn to come in that flick, but it's not. It ain't very good. So I think you did a good, smart thing there, taking the movie people liked out of those two. All right. I think that makes sense when you're voting the best of something it feels like you should pick the one that people liked more yeah avoid the worst of it yes yeah that's a great strategy i think you all applied

a great strategy we ended up having a having a terrific game uh here's how the scores break down for best Daniel Craig, James Bond. As everybody sussed out, Spectre got only 4% of the vote. But, man, can you imagine the nerve of that 4% to, like, pick that movie over those other three? So good for them, those people that did that and then no time to die uh just uh you know i guess it's too new or i haven't seen it but i i've been hearing mostly positive things but uh it only secured five percent of the vote wow oh boy smokes i feel like it's because they haven't seen it that That's my opinion. So that's only 5%.

So that brings your total, David, to 55. And then Skyfall is next with 37% of the vote, which brings Greg to a very impressive 110 points total. But Casino Royale is a real misstep there for you, Greg, sticking with your gut and sticking with stupid Skyfall. How could the Skyheads let him down? Casino Royale

heads really came to the fore and gave it 54% of the vote, which gives Chad a grand total of 120. And it makes Chad our new champion today.

Whoa! Can I get a Greg trumpet? Fuck off. Clearly, you saw I was listening to my chips. I had a little blood coming from my eye. You saw my tell and you selected the right movie. Kudos to you. Oh, thank you.

Yeah. That was a terrific win on Chad's part. Perfect timing. Cause I can bring the trophy to you in San Francisco. When we performed together at the Punchline. But Chad, what other plugs do you have to make? You've got to go first in the plugs. Oh my God. I'm going to be doing a festival in Boise in March

called the Tree Fort Festival. Neat. I'll be performing comedy there. That'll be really fun. Yeah. End of March. I think that is a good one. And I like going to that, uh, that town whenever I get the opportunity. Um, yeah,

they need some comedy there. The cool people there need some comedy. Um, and yeah, like I said, Chad, I'll see you Saturday at the punchline in San Francisco and we'll have you back on this show real soon as you are now an official dangling champ but let's talk to our other two

terrific champs you know as Greg was saying earlier these roads have to come to an end and david sanborn have you got anything you'd like to plug uh yeah sure i have uh my instagram where you can see pictures of my dog and things that i bake occasionally i'm attempting banana bread this week so we'll see how that goes um and then uh also i took alex edelman's uh recommendation from last week to watch a new leaf this week and i enjoyed it so go ahead and watch it it was yay that's great i love that i hope somebody somebody else does that with somebody else's recommendation.

I guess it keeps going into like snooze mode or something. I don't know what's happening um but anyway uh next time it happens i'm not going to mention it i'm just going to be a professional i may be a pro about it but i panic because i i worry about like incoming calls and stuff throwing me uh off of uh off of a zoom thing like this um so yes we'll see you again soon, David.
