Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds With 50 azepam or kernels in his teeth There's still not one that he won't see Cause Doug loves movies Hey, hey, hey everybody! My name is Doug and and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies. I thought it would be kind of a mellow one today

because we are at Fantastic Fest hanging out in the Highball, which is the bar attached to the Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar location in Austin, Texas. See, that's how you get them going. But you guys can tell that you guys are a mellow crowd, though, because normally just mentioning Texas in front of Texans gets a much bigger reaction than that. And I'm not judging.

I'm just pointing it out. Yeah. Thank you so much for coming out for this happy hour edition of Doug Loves Movies. I think I already mentioned most of the stuff I've got written here on this piece of paper. Oh, it's Friday, September 25th, 2015. Yeah.

And I know a lot of you guys have festival badges, but some of you must have also brought some sort of name tag, so may I see those briefly? Dude, where's my Carla and it's I think that's me saying that so that's offensive and metropolis got changed to metropolis Chris okay and Keith's right up front with what? A.B. Keith's of Death. A.B. Keith's of Death.

Have you done that one before? Sounds familiar. But you did a great job, Keith. And thanks for contributing to the prize bag. I got something from him. I love the flashlights on your signs. Well, it's good to know that some people brought some. Thanks.

You can put them down now. And good luck to everybody in being chosen. I think it's a pretty good prize bag today. I don't know about you guys, but I'm here for the entire festival. All of Fantastic Fests. And next Wednesday, September 30th, I'm

doing a Benson movie interruption of Roar, one of the most fucked up movies ever made that Tim League fell in love with and made sure that the world got to see more of. And I'm also screening my movie which, you know, that's how cool

Tim League is. I'm pretty sure he hasn't seen it at all but it's going to play here in the festival at midnight next Wednesday. And you know, it's about Comic-Con, so that fits into Fantastic Fest.

But it's hard to get my documentaries into film festivals because they're the most stress-free and incident-lacking documentaries of all time. My next stop on my world tour is Toronto, California

for the Just for Laughs festival on Saturday, October 3rd. I'm doing a Douglas Movies and then I get to sit on the couch and be therapied. Is that the right word for it? I would be therapied by Dr. Katz from the famed cartoon show.

Jonathan Katz is going to be there. On Sunday, October 4th, I'm doing stand-up at 420 at Helium Comedy Club. It's a gas in Buffalo, New York. And after that, I'll be at Hell Yeah Fest, a very positively named festival

in New Orleans. Douglovesmovies.com for all the dates and deets that you need for all my upcoming shows. I got to plug in my iPhone because I have a sneaking suspicion the new iPhone came out today, right?

And mine this week just took a complete shit and it does not hold a charge at all. I have to be plugged in just to use the phone. So they're just getting me to get the new one, right? Are your phones working? Yeah, barely. Marvin Martian. My phone's barely working.

That is not lovely. All right, here we go. Boom, I'm plugged in. Thank you very much. The prize bag today is I was just on At Midnight a few days ago so I brought a nice

I almost called it leather. Yes, I brought a leather bag that they give you when you do At Midnight. Last night they had an opening night party, a fantastic fest, and the opening night film that they had the premiere of

was called February. So I don't... It's kind of a leap there, but they decided that the opening night party should be Christmas-themed because they were showing the film February. Yeah, that's Fantastic Fest for you. Yeah, I guess you can't really build, you know, February.

What are you going to do, have a fun party about Black History Month? Which actually would be. I'll suggest that for another time. But they, for some reason, dropped a bunch of balloons during the party that included... It's deflated now, but when you blow this up, it looks like a turkey. So I put that in the prize bag,

because that's not the kind of thing I'm going to fly home with. And then we've got a shirt from a cafe ruckus, Keith Ruckus' place that... He's clapping for it. Right here in Austin, Texas. Opened in 2013. It's going strong. Good strong coffee.

People love it. What's the street address, Keith? 209 West 2nd. Come on, you know it. You got this. You got this. 209 West 2nd. 209 West 2nd Come on, you know it You got this, you got this 209 West 2nd 209 West 2nd Yeah, yeah, go check it out you guys

Cafe Ruckus The nice folks from Chameleon Cold Brew Espresso Coffee Gave me something that I'll never drink So I put that in the In the prize bag I tasted it though And it tastes like espresso,

but they told me it didn't have any sugar in it, so I like that. We got a copy of my CD, Professional Tool. Promotional, not professional. But that would apply, too. I'm a professional tool. And then whose CD is this? I don't know. It's just called Dank, but I don't know

who the comedian is. I can't make him out. But that's from a special thing records. And boy, I just got so much stuff in here. Oh, a shirt from our friends at Chameleon Glass. And from my hotel room. Again, something I'm not going to enjoy myself. So I put it in the bag. They gave me some trail mix. And it's called Austin Nuts. Are they good? All right.

Keep it weird. So my Austin Nuts are going in the bag. And all this other stuff. plus what my guests brought. But before I bring my guests out, I saw a friend of mine wandering around outside and he's waiting for... He can't be here for the whole show because he's gonna go see a movie. Well he can tell us about it when he gets out here. Let's have a big warm welcome for Kumail Nanjiani everybody. Kumail, get up here.

Hello. Goodness. You said I was wandering around outside. You were talking on the phone, actually, and I knew my show had to start in a little bit, and I didn't want to interrupt your phone call, but I also wanted you to get off the goddamn phone so I could ask you to do this and thank you for doing it.

Thank you for having me. Yeah. Describing me like a derelict. I just saw Kumail wandering the streets of Austin. Do you want to be on my show? Well, that's what you do when you're in Austin, right? You just wander the streets. It's a good wandering streets town.

But it's raining pretty heavily outside, and before the show started, we had a building-wide power outage for a second or two. So we're hoping that doesn't happen again. Because movies only run on electricity. You can't have a guy just describing, okay, John C. Reilly.

The credits roll. Then John C. Reilly. I heard for Anomalisa, which I just saw, that they have all the puppets standing by and they could just perform it that way if need be. Is that good? Did you like it? It is the weirdest. I can't even begin to process how I feel about the movie,

but it was certainly worth seeing and fascinating throughout, but also a strange and kind of unsettling experience. Is it one of those, like when you're done sometimes, you finish a movie and you're like, I get it. And sometimes you're like, what was that? Which one was this? It was

I get it? What was that? Like it had certainly strong elements of each. But also, the Q&A, I only saw the first few questions, but that sort of already kind of answered some of my questions. Because there's things that you can't watch the whole movie and then afterwards not wonder about.

And they're happy to explain them. It's not like they made one of those movies where, you know, like David Lynch or somebody, the last thing he's going to do is tell you exactly why something happens. Or if he does tell you, the reason doesn't make any sense at all. You know, these guys, they knew what they were doing and they said, this is why we did it.

And I went, okay. Okay. I like that. Because sometimes that can be frustrating. Like when Ridley Scott recently was like, oh yeah, Blade Runner, he was a replicant. And you're like, come on, don't tell us that. Leave that for us.

The weirdest thing about it for me is I couldn't stop thinking of Team America World Police while watching it. Because it's puppetry going on. But it's more of a drama. It is. It's a drama with puppets. It's a drama with puppets. It's not whimsical? It's got humor. And it's got humor that you and anyone else who travels a lot will totally appreciate.

It's got hotel room humor. It's got stuff that happens at hotels that you go, yes, of course. Does it have airplane humor? Airplane food humor? No. They do have cute little airplanes, though, that take off and land in the movie. Like, they do establishing shots and stuff.

Like, they do it all, but with, you know, animated miniatures that have to be moved by hand by, like, 14 people that made this movie over a two year period. And was Charlie Kaufman? I'll take any questions you have about a film that I did not have

anything to do with. Was Charlie Kaufman there? Yes. And he spoke afterwards along with his co-director who was more the animation side of it, I assume. And when they'd pass him the microphone,

he'd answer pretty briefly and then pass the microphone away. So that's why we were not able to secure him to be a guest on Doug Loves Movies today, which was, of course, attempted because the guy's a movie genius. You know, adaptation and being John Malkovich. I see a small door anywhere.

I go, oh, John Cusack's office. I say that every single time because of that movie. So yeah, it would have been lovely to have him, but he's just not talking about, he's doing the one Q&A that he has to do to promote this odd movie that Paramount picked up and they don't really have anything that's a big awards contender so they're going for it.

They're going to try to get like best picture, best screenplay, best animated movie and in all cases it'll be interesting to see if they pull it off because it is a weird movie. Did you just walk up to Charlie Kaufman and were like I do a podcast. This is what podcasts

are. Well that's why I was surprised. I was surprised why he said no, because I went up to him and went, hey, man! No, I didn't talk to him at all. You saw a small door. That's John Cusack's office, anyway. Not that we have a rapport going. No, a very attractive publicist, or actually, her position's higher than publicist at Paramount, did the asking

and he said no. So, I don't think he likes doing this sort of thing. Yeah. Or he doesn't like me. That could be it. I don't think,

I would be very surprised if he really knows any of us exist. In the sense that, we're not in his reality, I don't think. We're not in his world. Well, certainly podcasting

doesn't come up at all in Amelisa. But you know what does come up in it? Airplanes? An explanation of why it's called Anomalisa. Is it? It's good. It's one of the better, you know how most movies like, yeah, okay, I get it. It's called Larry Crown

because you have no, you ran out of, all your creative juices were spent writing the screenplay. And when it came time to name it, you're like, let's just name it Larry Crown. And, you know, we did Forrest Gump. That worked out okay. It was great when I played the title role in Philadelphia.

So let's just call this one Larry Crown. Yeah. John Carter was a good one. Right. Well, they took off the Of Mars. They got rid of that, which would have been a good clue that you're in for an insane movie. Yeah. It's a shirtless guy on Mars fighting lizard people, and it's called John Carter.

Great. Great work. So what are you about to go see that keeps you from joining us for fun and games? I'm going to go see a movie called Tale of Tales. John C. Reilly is in it. Okay, that's, I'm there, that's all you got to say.

It's like a fantasy anthology from what I, I don't want to read too much, I just want to read enough to be like, all right, that's the one I want to see. So I'm going to see that one,

then I'm going to see the secret screening, which is going to be great. I don't know what it is. Someone's laughing like he does. Everybody thinks they know what it is. Are they right, probably? I think so. They're probably right.

I think it's legit. So it's exciting. I'm very excited about it. But yeah, I'm going to see like five movies a day over the next couple of days. That's my plan. The hardest part is that the food in there is so good. So I also end up having five. You have a meal at five times. Five meals. Creme brulee, French toast. Or something.

Because it's just exciting to be able to order stuff. It's like saying no to the in-flight food. You know? It's like not on the plane. The food's not that great. But at least, you know, it's something to do. And you're excited to participate. Yeah.

I'm going to. It's like you're flying the plane. I'm going to start with creme brulee French toast, then I'm going to do a snack, then I'm going to do a burger, then I'm going to do a full dinner, and I'm going to close it with creme brulee French toast. Just to, like, give it the circular structure.

Can I give you a little life hack when you're ordering food here at the Alamo Drafthouse? Please. Since you are having so many meals, they'll let you ask for stuff from the kids' menu even if you're not a kid.

So you can get like a smaller version of like the chicken strips and fries. Why would I want a smaller version? So you're saying you're going to get

the five meals and you don't mind how huge they are no I honestly have been planning for this weekend this is very nerdy but for a few weeks

I was like I'm gonna be super healthy I'm gonna be careful about what I eat and then I'm gonna eat two creme brulee french toasts

tomorrow and a huge adult sized chicken strip cause that's what I am Doug I'm a fucking grown up it's Texas they're still pretty big even the child's And a huge adult-sized chicken strip, because that's what I am, Doug. I'm a fucking grown-up.

It's Texas. They're still pretty big, even the child's portion. Yeah, a child portion in Austin is two adults in LA. Yeah, so that's, for everybody else, that's my little tip to you. I didn't know you could just order off a kid's menu. You try that in a restaurant, they really give little tip to you. I didn't know you could just order off a kid's menu. You try that in a restaurant. They really give you the hairy eyeball. Yeah.

Here, I mean... I want a goddamn Happy Meal. Sir, this is Burger King. Yeah. What else are you excited to see, Kumail, while you're at the festival? I'm really excited about this movie called Evolution. That sounds awesome. And I'm really excited to see, Kumail, while you're at the festival? I'm really excited about this movie called Evolution. That sounds awesome.

And I'm really excited to see The Witch. That's the last movie I'm going to see. The Witch. The Witch is a movie. It's about a witch, and she's a witch. And the preview, it's not one of those where you're like,

is she a witch? Is she not a witch? What's this about? In the preview, it starts with her killing a baby, rubbing the blood on a broomstick and flying on it. So you're like, oh, this is a real fucking witch. Straight up

witch. This isn't like... Like full blown witch. Yeah, she's got full blown witchcraft. It's not like a fucking sociological comment on the Salem witch trials. I don't need any more of that. I know how to feel about it. They were terrible to those women. This woman

is a witch. That's what confused them when they went to do the trials, is that, you know, one of them could really be a witch. They could really be on to something. I mean, I kind of see their point, Curtis. Like, you don't want even one witch, so better to kill everyone

than have one witch. What if it turned out the only way you could kill a witch is by drowning them, and then they're drowning all these witches that are probably not witches, but even the ones that are are drowning, so they just assume they're right every time.

I think that's exactly what happened. That's really what happened? I think it was like oh if I think it was from what I remember witches can't drown

so if you're innocent you drown and they're like oh well we fucked that up and if someone doesn't drown then they shoot them

because she's a witch but everybody drowned. I made that up. I don't know how they did it. That sounded so legit. It is something like that, though, right? I think I've heard something like that. It was something like that.

She's giving me the thumbs up. If they think you're a witch, you're dead either way. Because also, you know, how do they back down from that? Oh, sorry about the witch thing. Yeah. Oh, God. Sorry about trying to drown you. Huge misstep.

Yeah. We'll give you CPR. Oh, wait God. Sorry about trying to drown you. Huge misstep. Yeah. We'll give you CPR. Oh wait, we don't know CPR yet. They didn't know CPR back then. That's what you have to know going into that joke. So Sunday night

in this very space, you are going to have to miss a movie or two on that date because you are going to do for the second movie or two on that date. Because you are going to do, for the second year in a row, a performance of The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail right here on this very stage. Yeah. It's going to be great.

We had a great time last year. Doug, you're going to come talk to... I'll come do a little time on stage. And you got a couple other comics lined up. And it should be a pretty fun show. Yeah. and Jonah and I are both going to do individual stand-up sets, so it's just going to be a great time.

And right now, I feel fresh and excited, and in two days, I'll be a shadow of my former self. I'll have eaten many adult chicken strip meals, so you will see me at the end of my rope, but it'll be fun.

And you'll see him on various parts of the rope over the next few days hanging out here at the festival. Who here snuck in tonight? Didn't sneak in, but who came in without a festival badge, just came by just for this? Lots of people. Okay, great. So what's the ruling on Sunday? Can they do that then as well?

Yes. Yes. This guy knows. So what's the ruling on Sunday? Can they do that then as well? Yes. This guy knows. Yeah, Keith says anybody can come in and enjoy the show Sunday. Anybody can come in. Yeah, so just come in. It's a free show. You don't need a pass or anything. Just come in, hang out, have fun, say hi afterwards,

run out of things to say. Please, run out of things to say. Yes, please run out of things to say when you, run out of things to say. Yes, please run out of things to say when you're talking to me afterwards, because I'm a busy guy. That would be great if you're in a bad conversation, you just point at them and be like, run out of things to say.

Are we done? It's time, yeah. No, it's, everybody here is so nice and has just the right amount of things to say, and we look forward to we look forward to watching you wandering around the streets of Austin. Kumail Nanjiani everybody!

Thank you! Go enjoy your goddamn movie. Make me sick. Just turn on him now that he's gone. Tale of Tales, that can't possibly be good. just turn on him now that he's gone tale of tales that can't possibly be good

alright you guys let's get my real guests out here please give a big warm welcome to John Smith, John Erler and Chris Cubis hey guys Hey guys Hi Doug Welcome to the show

I feel like the Bill Maher show The way I interviewed one person for a little while Now let's see our panel That clock kid really had it coming Did Bill Maher say that? Fuck that shit Bill Maher was both? Fuck that shit. Bill Maher was both ways on the Clock Kid.

He said that the Clock Kid, first of all... He's a Muslim, okay? He said he was very smart and shouldn't be in trouble for making a clock, but that also he shouldn't wonder why everyone thought it was a bomb. Which, whatever. I mean, quick little jump to judgment. Especially when they're saying it looks like a movie bomb. You know, it looks like from Die Hard or, you know, Lethal Weapon or something.

A cartoon. Yeah, and it's like, well then, why do you think it's a real bomb if you describe it as a movie bomb? Am I right? Yeah. That's a good point, Doug. Yeah, yeah. Was it counting backwards or was it just a regular clock? That should be the clue, I think.

Was it beeping with each second so you know exactly what's going on? When you look away from it, did a strange amount of time pass by? When you look back, it wasn't quite... It never syncs up. I'm watching a movie right now where somebody says something about it'll take two minutes, time me. And I want to go back and watch that scene because at one point,

at one point the guy goes, your two minutes is up and I want to watch that scene again and see how long it was. Are you currently watching this movie? Yeah, I'm in the Netflix thing and I had to stop it because I had other things to do.

I had to come to a movie festival, watch movies, and do a podcast where I talk about movies. Whenever I watch a movie where someone has to swim underwater, I try to hold my breath to see if I'll make it. Here's the really sad part. I cheat all the time by myself if I'm just watching Big Trouble in Little China or something and I gotta swim through that tunnel

and just like sneaking, breathing through my nose. Smoking weed, yeah, I get it. I was told by Jeff Tate that Tom Cruise is underwater for like, because he went back to see Mission Impossible 5 Rogue Nation again. And I said, do me a favor and time how long Tom Cruise is underwater. And I think

it turned out to be like five minutes or some ridiculous, some impossible amount of time for him to just hold his breath and swim around. All of his own stunts. Yeah, but let's meet all of our guests you guys. They're on the end, just spoke just now. Please give it up for John W. Smith, everybody. Thank you.

The W is silent. W. Hi, Doug. What does the W stand for? Have I asked you that before? No, it stands for Walter. Okay, that's not bad. Yeah, it's a name.

It's a perfect place for it in the middle slot. It'll do. You don't see a lot of young Walters. Not anymore, no. Walter Keening. Oh, look at that little 10-year-old Walter. Walter. What?

Who's the youngest Walter? Who is? You mean Benjamin Button? Who are you talking about? Yeah. I don't know any Walters. Yeah, there you go. And you are, what's your title here at the festival?

I've got like three or four of them. I'm the creative manager here at the Austin Alamo. There you go. I booked some three or four of them. I'm the creative manager here at the Austin Alamo. There you go. I booked some of the movies people watch. Beverages are coming. Was that John's beverage? John, give John that beverage. I already had a beverage. John, John. I will take this one for later.

Alright. Because he ordered one. What a guy. It's fine. I'll get to it. Don't worry. Okay. That doesn't seem like... I guess we need a third one. John wants that one. That was for me, right? That was for you?

That was for me. That's his. Let's get confirmation. That wasn't your backup beer. That was his original beer. Are you going to drink this beer? All right. That's his straight up first beer.

We're good. Doug loves beverage. Especially Tito Beverage is my favorite person who makes vodka and his last name is actually Beverage. Only in Austin, man. Only in Austin. And there you go. There's your backup. Thank you.

Here you go, John Earl. Can I get a backup Tito's and soda, please? Backups for all of my friends. Wiley, I'll have two more. Thank you. Anyway. Yeah. I book movies here at have two more. Thank you. Anyway. I book movies here at the Alamo. Yeah, yeah. And you also, I got to

see you on Wednesday night, as you do every Wednesday night here at the Highball, run a... Pub quiz doesn't sound like the right expression for it. No, it's a trivia night. Pub quiz, whatever you want to call it. It's called Geeks Who Drink. They do it all over the country. Some like 30, 35 states.

I've been doing it here at the Highball for six years in January. Wow. Yeah, it's the longest relationship of my life. With trivia. Yeah, I've been married for 10 years, but I don't count that. No, yeah, do it all over the place.

Shit, I've already spilled the beer. Wiley, we need another. I'll take that that. No, yeah. Do it all over the place. Shit, I've already spilled the beer. Wiley, we need another. I'll take that one. Yeah. No, yeah. Eight round quiz, Wednesday nights. We're kind of in the scenery here. Thank you.

And other stuff. I know two people named Wiley in this town. Is the other one a coyote by any chance? That's John Erler, everybody. Of Moto Panacake. What? Master Pancake,

the comedy troupe that takes down, no movie is un-mockable or safe. You got one coming up this weekend? We are doing Jurassic Park this weekend in honor of September here at the Alamo Draft House.

September! We're celebrating the work and oeuvre of Steven Spielberg all month. So we just finished mocking Raiders of the Lost Ark. How was that? What is that tone in your voice? That it's such a great movie and so much fun to watch

that just making jokes throughout could annoy the fans. I know. I had that same worry. And people kept coming up to us and asking us, how can you do Raiders of the Lost Ark? And my response is just, I just am tired of making fun of Twilight and Fifty Shades of Grey. I just need a break.

We're going to make fun of a good movie. We're just going to watch it and make a couple jokes and I hope that's okay with everybody. There's still things to make jokes about. There's a lot of continuity there. As Dana Gould pointed out recently on the show, Indiana Jones accomplishes nothing in that movie. He's terrible. His presence isn't

even needed at the finale. The Nazis could just open it up and all burn to death, and Indiana Jones doesn't even have to be nearby. And he knew that was what was going to happen when they opened it, and he could have just kept his stupid mouth shut. That's basically... That's Dana Gould's theory, not mine, but I agree. It's absolutely true.

Also, he's a terrible archaeologist. He's unethical. He steals treasures from indigenous people, doesn't give it back to them, and then he loses that treasure to a smarter Frenchman, which is not cool. So he's unethical and incompetent. That man with the beret over there

got really burnt by that comment, John. Sorry, Frenchie. That's not a beret. That made it all better. Same thing. When you insult a Frenchman Call him Say sorry Frenchie

And they are Totally back In business That's a newsies cap That's not a beret Same difference No it's worse than a beret Yeah

It's definitely worse I'm sorry Somebody had to say it It's This is an intervention Frenchie It's a child's beret It's a child's beret It's an inter-Frenchian.

And Chris Cubis is here, everybody! You can definitely go the wrong way. On movies people like and make a joke story, we interrupted Labyrinth in Kansas City, and a lot of people showed up interrupted Labyrinth in Kansas City. And a lot of people showed up not knowing it was an interruption. Right, just happy to see their favorite. People were angry

that we were making fun of Labyrinth. And I was like, have you seen David Bowie's cock? Because it's poking me in the eye like it's 3D right now. There's stuff to make fun of in this movie. Yeah. I think almost

any movie, like heavy, heavy dramas, most of them you probably wouldn't want to get into, but most all other movies, I think, especially if everybody's seen it before, if it's a classic or whatever, why not? Yeah, have some fun. You've seen it already. I'm not spoiling shit. Yeah, yeah. Just don't do

Sophie's Choice. Would be an example. Well, yeah. Schindler's List.'s choice or would be an example well yeah yeah chiller's list yeah that's the classic example i try to do something different and then still landed on holocaust still that's still the number one most depressing thing you can feature in a film i guess right what about life is beautiful can we make fun of Life is Beautiful? No, because that's a Holocaust movie and a comedy. So that's like two strikes right there. Right, but so much of the comedy isn't funny.

It's just him falling down and shit. Have you ever mocked a comedy? We at Master Pancake generally shy away from that just because even if it's a terrible comedy, it's probably hard to make fun of a movie that's making jokes itself. Uh-huh. So we've never done it but we've done home alone that's probably the closest thing to a comedy that we've yeah it doesn't count back to

the future like back to the future which is like an action car first club oh yeah we've that's is that a comedy I think so there's some fun I think it's supposed to be Ferris Bueller no we wouldn we wouldn't. No. Never do that. Are we just naming movies? Naming some more movies. Deciding if they're comedies or not? No. People came to see this? It's time for my new game, comedy or not a comedy?

I'll name a movie. Biodome. Is Home Alone 2 a comedy or not a comedy? That is a cautionary tale about neglectful parenting. Is The Good Son a comedy or not a comedy? That is a cautionary tale about neglectful parenting. Is The Good Son a comedy or not a comedy? Not a comedy. How about Slapshot?

Slapshot? Comedy. Okay. Did I win? Have you guys been to the movies lately? I know you've probably been too busy.

The festival just started so you probably haven't seen any things that are playing here. But John W., what was the last movie you saw? Last movie in the theater. The other day, we did a double feature

of a couple of Bill Murray movies on Bill Murray's birthday. We were trying to guilt him into coming and it didn't work. Come on, man. It's your birthday. That's what you said to him?

That was it. It's your fucking birthday.'s what you said to him? That was it. It's your fucking birthday. You should go on a trip to us. That was the entire... On your birthday. What a special treat that's going to be for you. The entire marketing campaign was entirely centered around guilting Bill Murray and it didn't succeed. I did have a cardboard cutout of him, though.

We played Lost in Translation and then followed it up with Nothing Lasts Forever. That's the unreleased movie that Chris has never heard of. Never heard of that movie. It's done by Tom Schiller in the early 80s. It's in black and white. That's right. How big is Bill Murray's part in that?

Only about 15 or 20 minutes. But Bill Murray had said, this is a movie that you guys should play at retrospectives of my work. He actually really cares about it. And it rarely ever plays. It's not on video. It's not on streaming. It's never actually really cares about it. And it rarely ever plays. It's not on video. It's not on streaming. It's never actually gotten a real release.

Is it a comedy? It is a comedy. There you go. Put that on the list. But it's like, you know, remember Schiller's Reel on SNL?

Whenever they go to that, it was like at the end of the show and it was in black and white and you'd go to sleep. You'd wake up the next morning going, oh, I fell asleep

during that stupid black and white thing. It's a whole feature film of that. A whole feature film of that. Absolutely, yeah. You can slumber throughout the entire thing. It's whimsical and in black and white and has lots of SNL people in it.

It's got Zach Gallaghan pre-Gremlins. Oh! Yeah, guys, relax. Apparently he got high school credit for making it. He was like 18 or so. That's nice. And has a sex scene, so there you go. Good for you, Zach Galligan.

Does he fuck a gremlin? That might make this interesting. In the sequel, yeah. You gotta be careful, because you can't get a gremlin wet. After midnight. Boom! Yeah, that was nice.velling pussy!

That was nice. Trying to get some jokes into some bitch. John Erler, movie you've seen that you weren't interrupting, mocking? I probably shouldn't admit this,

but I watched Aloha the other night on Amazon. On purpose? I did. I did. I'm a big Cameron Crowe fan, so I gotta be a completist about it. I'm sorry.

Yeah, I guess that's why I should see it. I think I've seen everything else he's done. I'm curious to see, how does she play Asian? Is she any good at Asian? Are you talking about Emma Stone? I'm talking about the woman with the largest eyes on the planet

playing an Asian woman. Supposedly, she's a quarter Chinese and a quarter Hawaiian in the movie. That's half Asian. Yeah, that's right. I don't know if Hawaiian counts as Asian. They're like Samoan or something. Yeah, she's probably... Samoan or something.

Who knows? I don't even know how to have this conversation with you. If you don't know, I don't know what to say I know I look like the guy from Booyah Tribe I get that That's a deep cut for Samoan references That's good It was good If you like a Cameron Crowe movie, you'll like this one

Okay, that's interesting I like all this stuff He's like a modern day Frank Capra He's just like sweet and fun And he has a good, he always puts a good soundtrack on his movies because he used to work for Rolling Stone. And I like all this stuff,

even if it's terrible. I liked I Bought a Zoo. I liked Elizabethtown. Shit, nobody's with me on any. Wow, you're really audibles roaming everybody out. Like somebody just vomited in the third row. Elizabethtown.

Have you actually seen it and didn't like it? No. No. It's the only movie I've ever walked out. Jerry Maguire. Singles. Are any of these comedies? What are we doing?

I don't know. Comedy. Doug, help me out. Yeah, I can't help you out, buddy. Shit. Even when I go back and watch Almost Famous, it's one of my most cherished and equally, almost equally hated movies

because just from line to line and scene to scene in that movie, there's things I think are brilliant and great and things that I think are just so awful and they're like nails on a chalkboard. What are the awful parts? Jimmy Fallon's character? That's interesting that you'd say that. the awful parts? Jimmy Fallon's character? That's interesting

that you'd say that. I don't mind Jimmy Fallon. He's actually really good as a slimy agent in that. Yeah, I don't mind him because, yeah, he's slimy in it. I don't mind that.

And it's funny, I just watched... I thought you said slimy Asian. Yeah. And I was like, whoa! Half Asian.

Yeah, he plays Emma Stone's uncle. And... Oh, I just saw a movie called Supermensch, The Legend of Shep Gordon. And it turns out that he lived,

it was his story that he tells everybody about being on a plane interviewing some band. And he wanted to manage some band, so he was interviewing over something but they were on a plane and that happened and some guy confessed

to fucking some other guy's wife or something but in the movie it's like everybody on the plane makes a confession and the crashing plane, it's plummeting long enough for each person to have their moment,

and some are touching and some are hilarious, and then the plane levels off. So your problem is it took too long for the plane to not crash. Just the whole sequence is just like, you know, any one of those things happening while they were crashing would have been pretty spectacular. It's like in, you card playing scenes, poker playing scenes where somebody's got a full house, somebody's

got four of a kind, somebody's got a straight flush and he's got a royal flush. Same thing in Maverick where it's just like, well come on you guys. One good hand could have been one other good hand but there's not going to be five. That never happens. It's a movie playing crash and not a real life playing crash.

Well, that's the thing about Almost Famous is that a lot of it feels very biographical and honest. There's a lot of real stuff in it. That's probably why it's his best movie. Because he wrote From the Heart on that one. Maybe. I dare say his best movie is Fast Times at Ridgemont High. But he didn't direct it. He just wrote it.

I'm more of an Elizabethtown guy myself. You've got to be fucking kidding me. I have never heard of that movie three minutes ago. Say Anything. I've got to throw Say Anything. I take it all back. Say Anything is the absolute

head and shoulders best that he wrote and directed. That movie is nearly perfect. I'd say. Even though Jeremy Piven is in it. Not a fan of the Piven? I love Jeremy Piven. I'm a big Piven fan.

To be honest with you, I just knew it would get a laugh. I always like to imagine that Lloyd Dobler grows up to be Rob from High Fidelity. That's the progression of his life. You know, the guy with all the aspirations and the hopefulness

and just gets the shit beaten out of him in the 20s once she leaves him and becomes this awful, terrible guy. You know the girl in Moonrise Kingdom? I don't know her personally, no. Can you picture her? Yeah, oh yeah. And how she behaved and what happened to her? Absolutely.

In that movie? She grows up to be Lana Del Rey. Oh. what happened to her? Absolutely. In that movie, she grows up to be Lana Del Rey. She really does.

I'm not kidding around, you guys. Fucking Wes Anderson created time travel. I can't argue with that logic. Oh, that's great. Would you see a movie

lately, Chris? I saw the Call Me Lucky, the Barry Crimmins documentary. Oh, that's great. Would you see a movie lately, Chris? I saw the Call Me Lucky, the Barry Crimmins documentary. Oh, excellent. Bobcat Goldthwait directed that. Has anybody seen it? Amazing documentary. Yeah, you should see it. It's one of those documentaries where there's something new that kind of comes along in each act of the movie and each section of his life.

And I did not know much of what happens in it and it's very eye-opening and uh and bob head goldway's just a great documentary maker apparently like documentarian whatever the word is but like yeah no he made a really good movie he's really come along as a filmmaker like i love world's greatest dad and uh i like his movie yeah i like his movie this is his first like his movie. This was his first documentary. No, I think it might be his jam from now on. Then I also saw Pixels, which might be the opposite of the movie we're talking about.

Wait, where is that playing on a double bill? Where can I go? If you thought what happened to Barry Crimmins was bad, nobody's going to get that reference, but it's pretty funny. Yeah, I saw Pixels. That was something. That existed. It's not asels. That was something. That existed.

It's not as bad as I was expecting, but I think only because I went in expecting the worst thing I've ever seen. And like, it's not that. But Peter Dinklage is really funny. And then they managed to cast another little person that looks exactly like Peter Dinklage

to play young Peter Dinklage. Like he might have a son. Like he looks exactly like Peter Tinklage to play young Peter Dinklage? Like he might have a son. Like he looks exactly like him. You know, they can have children, you know. It's... People that are in pixels are allowed to have children. They have penises and vaginas just like

everybody else. Just like me and you. Do they work? I don't know. They better work it, girl. All right, you guys. I know, weird transition. I saw... Oh, another one. Oh, you just got

a lot of movies. Forget the games. I saw that vacation remake. Oh. That pains somebody in the audience. That's the right response. That's an Elizabethtown

response right there. At one point in Pixels, Q-Bert pees himself because he's afraid and yellow pee pixels come out of him. That's how little you have to say about Vacation as we're back on Pixels? No, I was going to say that I kind of like...

That is a better joke than anything that happens in the Vacation movie. Ah, I see. Okay, you're using it to compare. The Vacation movie was strange to me because it was trying so hard to repeat the tone. It was like what they tried to do and I think succeeded with the Fargo TV show where they tried to take the tone of the original Fargo

but not the same story. Exactly. They did a great job with that, maybe even improved on it in some ways. But the vacation sort of does the same thing, but it's like shows where that can go bad because i like all those actors sure but just watching him be trying to be you know uh watching him be all uh clark griswold frustrated all the time yeah it was just also a note that he played for the last seven seasons of the office right and i think ed helms

is like so versatile and great at doing a lot of things that, you know, that was also frustrating to see him doing that. That's, yeah. I really... Finally, a serious discussion of Vacation Reboot.

I was going to say, that took a much more straightforward tone than I expected that conversation to take. But was it a comedy? Yeah. No.

I don't think it was. No, it wasn't? I mean... Kind of like RV, that wasn't a comedy. In a way, if a tree falls in a forest and no one can hear it, if someone makes a comedy and no one laughs, is it a comedy? There's always some... Wow.

Just like just now when you said that, there's always somebody that'll laugh at anything. It's just we all take turns. Everybody's got a comedy that none of their friends like, that they think is funny, and they don't know why everybody's not we all take turns. Everybody's got a comedy that none of their friends like, that they think is funny and they don't know why. Everybody's not on board with it. Ishtar. That's a great example.

There's a lot of people who really defend Ishtar. It's a great movie. I'm not one of those people. It's a great non-Cameron Crowe movie. I think if they got different actors to play those parts, it could have been a great movie, but I just don't buy them. Warren Beatty trying to play a dumb guy...

Oh, he's great. ...doesn't work for me. It doesn't work. He just seems too smart all the time. I can't argue with you because you're the host, but you're absolutely wrong about that. When else did Warren Beatty successfully portray a dumb person? Are you saying that this is an anomalisa

and he's only done it the one time but he still did it brilliantly? I'm going to go with that one. This is the part of the show where I say let the games begin! This is how shitty my phone is. Having it plugged in this entire time,

it still hasn't even started to charge. I don't know why... Oh, boy. ...what to do differently to get that to change. There's a little surgery protector on. Well, it's just one game we're not going to be able to play, but I think we're running long anyway, so it's not going to be that big of a deal.

But I still want my phone to work again someday. You know, like later today, I might want to check my messages. Hypothetically. It's just on that. It's just like saying a little bit of red and then fuck you. That's as far as we're going to go. Fuck you, man.

I even moved it into a different part. Oh, look at that. That means life, right? The apple is life. Who's been eating my apple? They already took a bite out of my apple. All right, so pick your name tags, and while you do that, we'll do this. We'll be right back.

We're back. We're back. Yeah, John W. Smith, who are you playing for? Chris, he has a name tag that says Metropic Chris.

Yeah, I saw that one at the top of the show. Very creative, very creative. Very creative. Nicely done. John Erler? I picked the biggest, sparkliest one. It says, dude, where's my Carla? Another one that I cited at the top of the show.

Nicely picked. And this one is pretty cool. This is a 3D name tag. Yeah, it's Piranha 3D, but it says Pirarro 3D. Is that your name? That's your last name, Pirarro? Last name is Pirarro, okay. And it's got a fucking piranha coming, sticking

through it, like a rubber piranha. And you can see it in the back, too. It's a male one? Oh, it's a real one. It's like a lacquered piranha. Holy shit, those things are fucking evil. Can you see its face? Yeah, they're fucking scary looking, man. It's 80%

more 3D behind it, actually. Yeah, that's great 3D behind it, actually. Yeah, it's great. I like it a lot. I bet you piranhas are biting their own tongues a lot. Because they're just so... Just be hard not to do that. Can we get another drink for Mr. Cubist? Oh, I'm sorry.

Yeah, thank you. It's all good. Love that name tag, Miss Pirano. Piraro. Piraro. I love that movie. Yeah. I do. Itaro. Piraro. I love that movie. Yeah. I do.

It's real though. It's funny that I would go it's male? Like what does that have to do with anything? Why would she yell that out? It's a male piranha.

Does it have a dick? Alright you guys. We're going to play a few games and it looks like my phone is getting somewhere so maybe we'll get to play some reverse malting.

But let's start with something I like to call, How Much Did This Shit Make? I'll name a movie, and then each of you guys have to guess how much money that movie made at the domestic box office in millions without going over and it's this isn't like a shitty movie this is one of my favorite Austin movies and one of my favorite weed movies which you could pretty much say any Austin movie is probably having trouble thinking one now that I guess Bernie isn't really a weed movie, even though it sounds like

Bernie sounds like should be about a guy who... If you want to get the tax credit, it has to have a weed scene. Yeah, there you go. But this movie wasn't a hit at the box office, which I thought was a shame at the time, and to this day. How much, according to

boxofficemojo.com, did Dazed and Confused make? And we'll start with Chris. How much do you think Dazed and Confused made at the North American box office during its entire

theatrical run of a few days? I'm going to say $18 million. Maybe a week. $18 million. That's not a good days. I'm going to say $18 million. Maybe a week. $18 million. That's not a good amount. Okay. Thanks. I guess.

Sorry, Ms. Ferraro, but not off to a good start. No. Not a lot of money. $18 million is not a lot of money. Yeah. For a movie. I agree. I'd be cool.

Yeah. Like half that. John? I'm going to go lower than that for no particular reason. Other than that, I really can't go higher. And he was an executive producer

on Days to Confuse. He's burnt by it. They might not even know, though. You know, like, sometimes these numbers, nobody looks. I'm going to know, though. Sometimes these numbers, nobody looks. I'm going to say $11 million. Okay.

Yeah. John W. I'm going to bid $1, Bob. Always a smart play. In this case, and in this place that we're at right now, the highball, it really paid off because it only made $7.9 million. So close, John E. That just sounds like I'm calling you Johnny.

I'll take it. Johnny. Johnny. So John W. wins the first game, and that means he has to go first in this next game. The treacherous and difficult Build the Tile. Yes!

I love this game. Chris loves it. Some audience members love it. Others are completely baffled by it. I love it as a fan. And what its appeal is. Let's keep it rolling. Let's do the same movie let's start building a

title off of Austin's own dazed and confused so you have to John you have to go dazed and confused school days to confuse I didn't even have to explain it to him you guys he just jumped right in I was gonna I was going to, I was pre-guessed and I was going to say Father's Days Confused. Yeah. And on top of that, then you could say

in the name of the Father's Days. But anyway, that's, that's an alternate, that's a sliding doors Gwyneth Paltrow situation. Absolutely.

That's not what's really happening right now. We have to go to John Erler. Sam Levine shit you just pulled right there. Right. John? I'm going to say Back to School, Dazed and Confused.

Yep, you just pulled a triple Lindy on that one. Yeah. Chris? I'm going to say Back to School, Dazed and Confused Cars. Yes, that's exactly what I pre-guessed. Confused Cars, which I that's exactly what I pre-guessed. Confused Cars, which I would love to see that. The third in the trilogy of Cars films

takes place in a mental ward for Cars. Alright, we've got Back to School Days and Confused Cars. We're Back to School Days and Confused Cars. We're Back? The Days and Confused Cars.

We're Back? The dinosaur movie. Okay. An animated dinosaur movie. That was the whole title, or it was We're Back colon the dinosaur movie? I think it was the latter. What? Definitely the latter.

I don't think that's the legal title. You think it's called We're Back is the name of the movie? We're Back! Exclamation point. That's the whole name of the movie. That's the whole name of the movie. That can't possibly be true. That's it.

We got a guy confirming it. He doesn't look like he has children, so I don't believe him. He looks like he spends a lot of time around children, though. It's just called We're Back. Illegally. Is the apostrophe there? I want this to be clean.

You do. Don't worry about the apostrophe there? I want this to be clean. I remember it. You do. Don't worry about the apostrophe. John, you've got to have something that ends with we or we're or begins with cars. That new Grateful Dead movie focused on Peter Weir, and it was just called Peter Weir, I think. So Peter Weir back, et cetera. That was just called Peter Weir? Yeah think. So Peter Weir back... I think you... Et cetera.

What? That was just called Peter Weir? Yeah. There's no way. Yeah. John Carter, Larry Crown, Peter Weir. That's right. Peter Weir.

Okay. That's not right, though. All right, that can't possibly be true either. That's a lie, though, right? I think he just made that up. You're not going to just let him have that. I think I am going to let him have it. That's bullshit.

Oh, shit. There's no reason to throw let him have that. I think I am going to let him have it. Oh, shit. There's no reason to throw glasses around, Chris. Shit. So I can just make up a movie with Peter in it then? We'll see when it's your turn if I agree with what you make up. Okay, go. Something that ends in Peter

or begins with... Cars. Cars, yeah. Cars. Ooh, boy. Ends in P? P? Pete?

Carson City. See, that's... That's definitely a movie. That's way more. I promise you there's way more of a movie. What's tell me, what's Carson. Tell me about the film.

Carson. What happened? Western. It takes place in Carson city. That's a movie. I want to see it exists. I promise you who you think's in it. Uh,

uh, uh, Jimmy Stewart. Uh huh. Go on. And Carson Daly Oh he's great He's great in it

He's very young Yeah He's a very young Carson Daly If you're looking up Carson City You better also look up Fucking Peter Weir

I promise you that Carson City From 1952 Starring Randolph Scott. Opposing forces clash when construction engineer Scott commences building a railroad through Nevada in the 1870s.

Oh, Western. Okay of its type. What kind of sentence is that? Okay of its type? Wait, is Carson Daly in that? No, but Raymond Massey is in it. Okay. I thought he said that Carson Daly had to be in it.

Is Peter Weir in the movie that doesn't exist? Yeah, absolutely. I'm always saying Carson Daly. I'm looking up Weir back first. I'm starting at the... I like a live corrections department. As long as we got this out and we're looking up shit. I don't like a live corrections department.

Yeah, it's called We're Back, A Dinosaur Story, Motherfuckers. Oh, well. I feel like I'm the only one who's named only movies that exist. I don't know. I can't wait to see what it says for Peter Weir. No results. Yeah, it says 404 page not found in IMDb. for Peter Weir. No results. It just says 404 page not found

in IMDb. How long ago was this Peter Weir movie? It came out this year. There's an apostrophe in there, which you're probably not putting in your search. Peter. Peter Weir, A Dinosaur's Tale. So this whole game is

built on lies, basically. John W. needs... Oh, you want a shot of what? Jameson to celebrate my victory. Oh, that's a fun way to do it. Also, can we keep... I'm cool if we just keep... Oh, I don't know.

We have time. Huh? I would keep playing Build a Tidal. I love that movie. Well, we're going. We're going. Carson City kept us going. Kept us alive.

So you need something that ends with Pete or begins with City, John. Okay, so what's the full title so far? Peter, We're Back. So, two lies

right up top. Two school days in confused cars in the city of lost children. Oh, okay. John? Ren and Stimpy, the movie. There was a big

lost children in Stimpy. Children in Stimpy. But is there a Stimpy movie called Ren and Stimpy? I don't think there's ever been

a Ren and Stimpy movie. I don't think there has. Yeah. That's a tragedy. Yeah. That's more of a wish than a correct answer. Okay, that was

my joke answer. My real answer was Children of a Lesser God. This is fucking anarchy. Children of a Lesser God. Then a correct answer. Okay, that was my joke answer. My real answer was... The what? Children of a lesser god. This is fucking anarchy. Children of a lesser god. I'll take that. Check on the rules. The's don't count, right?

Yeah, you just dropped those. Cool. Peter, we're back to school. Dazed and confused. Carson City of lost children of a lesser gods must be crazy. And the softball lobs over to Mr. Smith. Oh, okay. A movie that begins with crazy.

All right. So it's Peter Weirbach. I like how they think they have to say the whole thing again. No, it's just fun. It's the fun part. Back to school, dazed and confused. Cars. Uncity.

And city. Cars and city. Cars and the city. Children of lesser gods must be crazy heart. Yes. Crazy heart. That's another softball, I think. John.

So the title, full title again is what? Are you ready for it? Here we go. Gods must be crazy heart. Heart or entity. full title again as well. Are you ready for it? Here we go. Gods Must Be Crazy, Heart. Heart or Entity. So they made a heart to heart movie.

Oh, no. Stephanie Powers, Robert Wagner. There's so many to choose from. So he's out, right? He's out, yes. All right.

Heart of the City. Crazy Heart Condition. Condition? Heart Condition. I like it, yeah. It's a real movie. That's a real movie. Who's in Heart Condition?

Richard Pryor. Richard Pryor. Shit. Yeah, we don't really need to say anybody else. I don't know if I can think of anybody. And Harvey Keitel. Can you think of anything that begins with condition? John?

Can you think of anything that begins with condition? John? There was that documentary that looked into the world of conditioners. And shampoos. Condition-kle-buck. Condition-kle-buck? Does that work? Condition-kle-buck? Condition-kle-buck.

Condition-kle-buck. Condition-kle-buck. Condition-kle-buck. Condition-kle-buck. Yeah. Condition-kle-buck. Condition Colbuck. Condition Colbuck. Yeah. Sean Colbuck. Thank you. Glad I have your approval.

Appreciate it. Thank you. Gee, I wonder what Chris is going to say with Buck. You don't have one? Not off the top of my head. Movie begins with Buck? Hold on. Yeah, you know it.

Could end in Peter. Peter. A conditional Buck. Oh. That guy at the bar decided to tell you where'd you come from I'm sorry he said it

but I was I do love that movie he's looking around like I didn't do it why don't you go sit in the back no seriously don't spin around

in your chair just go back somewhere because you said it quietly but loudly for us to hear you I mean I'm just going to take it just pay your bill oh fuck in the back somewhere. Because you said it quietly, but loudly for us to hear you. I mean, I'm just going to take it.

Just pay your bill. Oh, fuck, but I don't have it. I don't have it. Yeah, that's a good idea. I don't have the whole title. I don't have the whole title. So Buckaroo Banzai's not helping me because I don't have the whole... Oh, it didn't help.

Oh, maybe I do. I'm just going to say it. Buckaroo Banzai across the eighth dimension? The fact that that guy said it, I'm not going to give it to you. Okay, was that right? You got a different one. I think you're close, right? He was close. Huh?

Yeah, Buckaroo Banzai across the eighth dimension. That's what it was called? I thought it was like more words than that. I believe there are more words. There's a lot of words in that. Yeah, it's like his adventure in the eighth dimension or something like that. I don't think so, but whatever. Buck. I'll look it up, motherfuckers.

Hold on. Fuck that one. Condition called Buck Company of Men. If you can get on out of his, I can get coo at the end of mine. No, but also you're the one that agreed with his at the end of there. I didn't

know you were setting it up So you could get a cuh Yeah, Chris, it was a group decision You were fine with it Yeah What was your I'm looking at Buckaroo Banzai What is it? Oh, yeah

Also, it doesn't start with Buck It's the adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the eight semesters So that didn't help anyway The guy that tried to help But yeah, Buck Company I'm sorry I made you move Uncle Buck Company of Men. I'm sorry I made you move.

Uncle Buck Company of Men. Yeah, no, I'm not accepting that. But why not? It actually makes sense. It doesn't make sense to me at all. His intention was malicious, so he should still be banned. Buck Company of Men. Can I add one?

All right. You know what I mean. I got you. Yeah. What about that, John? Uncle Buck Rogers? Sure. I'm sure that was a movie, right? What did you have that was Buck that you thought you had?

I didn't have one. I thought I had one, but then I lost it. I mean, I wasn't right. You know what I mean? You'll start to think, I got it. Buck is the second word. I got one. Oh, okay. So you what I mean? You'll start to think, I got it. Buck is the second word. I got one. Oh, okay. So you're back in?

Yeah. This is like the Republican debates. Everyone's just yelling at each other. I was kind of racist earlier. Everything makes sense. What's yours, John? This is just for fun. This game ended 20 minutes ago. You already won.

Just for fun. The bucket list. Yeah. Yeah, bucket list. Bucket list. Yeah, yeah, for sure. That's it. Terrific.

Just for fun. Just for fun. That was a good one. Listo de Schindler. That's the Spanish title. Can we play Spanish titles? All right, let's play a round of Last Man Standing. Let's quit fucking around.

Let's do it. Maybe I get a vodka tonic. Oh, is that what you want now? Yeah. Have you ordered a different kind of beverage each time? No, it's been vodka tonics and then just one shot. Oh, okay. What kind of vodka are you drinking?

A well. Really? Yeah. We'll give you a top shelf Tito's situation. Just get him a bucket. Let's get him some Tito's. Thank you. Whatever, man.

I'm a well kind of dude. Yeah. Let's have a round of applause. They worked so hard during the festival for the whole staff. Everybody works at the high ball. Which is harder than anybody else. Yeah, they're just swamped the entire time. So I appreciate the hard work that they do.

And does anybody, I think the first three or four rows are my folks that live here in town that just came down and crashed the festival to join us here today. Thank you for doing that. So, in fact. This guy's really eager. Is he? I didn't notice. Yeah, he's been doing this.

He's fired up. You got a good name for Last Man Stanton? Paul Giamatti. Paul Giamatti. Wow. Yeah. That's a good name, but also a troubling name. Paul Giamatti.

Okay. Yeah. Right? It's like you certainly could think of some, but he's... Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. He's one of them actors. So the idea is we're going to each take turn on stage only saying Paul Giamatti films that he was in

or had something to do with, and then if you can't think of one, you're out. I'm not feeling confident, but we start down there with you, John. I'll go for the most recent one, Straight Outta Compton. Sure. Okay. I'm next, so I like to play in this game.

Thank you. So I might as well just knock these out right away because if you have a band, you should not hire him to manage you because he will fuck you in so many different ways. Emotionally, financially, love and mercy.

Love and mercy. Chris. in so many different ways, emotionally, financially, love and mercy. Love and mercy. Chris? Confidence. Okay. I don't really care how you feel at this point in the game. No, the movie. I just want to know the name of a film that features Paul. It's called Confidence. It stars Rachel Weisz,

Ed Burns, Dustin Hoffman. Somebody gave us Rachel Weisz, Ed Burns, Dustin Hoffman. Somebody gave us Rachel Weisz as a name for this game one time. And I beat them with my microphone until they were dead. John? Gonna go for Sideways. Oh, that's my favorite Giamatti performance. American... Someone just went, ugh.

Well, yeah, he wasn't the most lovable guy to be around, but he sure was good. American Splendor. That's my absolute favorite of all the Giamatti performances. And not Academy Award nominated, which was just stunning to me. I just saw him the other night. We did an interruption out in L.A. of San Andreas.

San Andreas. He has the immortal line, Get out of the desk! All right. John W. I just said it. American Splendor. Oh, wait. Oh, so now it's on Chris.

No, it's on you. I just said it. San Andreas. Oh, San Andreas, right. So it's on me. Shoot him up. Shoot. Oh, wait. He said America's Got Talent. Oh, so now it's on Chris. No, it's on you. I just said it. San Andreas. Oh, San Andreas. Right, so it's on me. Shoot'em Up. Shoot'em Up. Yes. Very tongue-in-cheek that movie. I like that movie. Yeah, that's how people have to say it. I'm a little

defensive, but yeah. I liked it. Come on. It's fun, and I got a man crush on fucking Clive Owens, so it's fun. Yeah,'s fun, and I got a man crush on fucking Clive Owens. Yeah, he's good. I like that guy. Croupier.

Sure. If you haven't seen that. Paul Giovanni is not in that movie. No. John? I'm going to go for an obvious one. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. Why is that an obvious one? Your turn, John Smith. It's on you, man. one, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.

Why is that an obvious one? Your turn, John Smith. It's on you, man. Sorry I stole a good one from you. That was the one on the tip of my tongue. Yeah, he played Cindy Lou Who in that one. He sure did. He sure did.

Okay, so John Erler's out. Probably the first one, least I'd ever heard of him in, Private Parts. Yes. On Netflix right now, actually. Pig Vomit, that's right. Pig Vomit. Yes, okay.

I'll go with one of his early hits and say Big Fat Liar. God damn it, that's the one I was sitting on. I had line at my back pocket okay Paul Giamatti this should not be this difficult at least 20 more movies I can't think of another one actor yeah John Adams. Always terrific. That's not me naming a thing. I'm just making sure I'm talking about the right actor. Paul

Giamatti. By the way, we never went through the prize bag. I mean, I never got the prizes from you guys, so I'll get them as soon as we finish this one. Paul Giamatti is an actor who starred in a film you know love call fuck it I got nothing I'm out oh he's

out John W Mission Impossible 3 no Philip Seymour Hoffman. He's not in that. That's Philip Seymour Hoffman. Come on. I ran out. Really? I'm out. Oh, wow. Indeed.

Oh, wow, indeed. Sorry. He's in Lincoln. Oh, I never saw Lincoln. That's right. Yeah. What did we miss, you guys? Lady in the Water.

All right. 12 Years a Slave. All right. Lady in the Water. All right. 12 Years a Slave. All right. Lady in the Water. You keep naming movies with slaves in them. I don't watch those. He doesn't watch those. He's in Big Mama's House.

John Dyson. Oh, fucking I do like that movie. Shit. I like how when... Cinderella Man. Planet of the Apes. Planet of the Apes. Planet of the Apes. Of course.

I didn't recognize him. Excuse me. That was a CGI monkey. Man on the moon. That wasn't Paul Giamatti. Man on the moon. They're easily confused, but that was just a CGI monkey.

I like how when I said Mission Impossible 3, like 20 people... It almost flew. They all agreed with me. Like, yeah. Sure. They have a Bill Paxton,

Bill Pullman thing. Absolutely. With Philip Seymour Hoffman. That's going to happen a lot less. Yeah, yeah. What? No, fuck you, groaners. That was a great joke.

Thank you. Good work. He's dead. John Smith lasted the longest, so he's our winner of that game. Thank you. Real quick, tell me what you brought for the prize bag. I, thanks to the very nice folks at

Transmission Entertainment, have two three-day passes to Fun Fun Fun Fest. Oh, neato. I'm gonna be there. You're gonna be there. I'm gonna be there. I'm gonna be there. Come see Wu-Tang Clan and fucking Cheap Trick and D'Angelo and all kinds of awesome shit.

Maybe. Whoever wins, just find me after the show because I got to get your information. Wow. Yeah, yeah. Go find him after the show. You're going to make us look like pieces of shit after this. The best way to get his attention is...

Did you bring a hat or an old shirt or something? What? I'm looking in that bag. I don't know. Whose bag is this? I've got the H-E-B bag.

John, what do you got? What's all this stuff in the H-E-B bag? That's my stuff. But how much stuff did you bring? A ton. I just threw some shit.

That's right, motherfucker. I'm going to steal that. Delicious. It's really good stuff. That's just like $10. I'm stealing that. I got paid $2,000 for that. Hang on.

I'm getting a call. I was basically... The call's saying ignore the rest of the stuff in this bag. Basically, yeah. I brought a landline phone. I'm never going to use it again. What the fuck? So there's that.

That's right. You just brought a landline phone. I say we do a tribute to office space and smash it right in front of everybody. Oh, shit yeah. Do that shit. I don't care. I'll play Ghetto Boys and everything. Let's do this.

So John Smith brought all that stuff, you guys. A lot of garbage, guys. Good garbage, though. And John, earlier, what'd you bring? I brought two things. I like to keep it a little more condensed than some people. I brought a hat, a Donald Trump-style hat honoring our small-town neighbors to the north

that says, Make Pflugerville Great Again. Good old Pflugerville. And I brought something that I'm going to let you open, Doug. We just finished a round of Raiders of the Lost Ark. I bought some of these. Don't open that! There's a tiny clock bomb in there. Oh, man.

It's the German guy because he's about to melt in a cute little doll form. It's the German guy, like, as he's about to melt in a cute little doll form. It's like an award. Doug, it's actually a candle. You can see the wick at the top. Oh, it's a candle? So he actually melts.

You can actually melt the dude. That's awesome. That's great. He melts just like he does in the movie. I thought it was like an award. No, what a terrible award that would be. Yeah. You are the most Nazi

person on this stage. It's a Toth. His character's name is Toth. I could not see anyone else enjoying this gift more. So I gave it to you. That's a pretty awesome gift you got there. And so somebody's going to win all that stuff after we play one more

game. And also, I guess maybe at all that stuff after we play one more, one more game. And, and also, I guess maybe at the end of the show we'll smash that phone. Fuck yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. That seems like a real Tim Leake thing to do. Is just smash the shit out of that phone. He does have anger problems. Oh, and by the way, condolences to Tim Leake's family.

He perished this week when he tried to shoot hogs out of a helicopter. Bullshit. He fell to his death. Shh, shh, shh. But we're going ahead with the festival anyway.

We got a hologram. We got a hologram Tim Leake introducing some of the films and talking to some of the filmmakers. He does a great job. Yeah, he goes

People are going to get drunk and then boo I'm going to get drunk and then boo myself Alright so this is going to be a winner take all round One round We got to run out of time guys what's going to happen. All right, so this is going to be a winner-take-all round of... One round? What? We've got to run it out of time, guys. Okay, sure. Got to keep a tight show. How many cocktails do we have at your feet?

Not enough. Three? Tearing it up. Oh, we've got to make sure they get their big giant bottles. This is the kind of thing that's really fun to carry around for the rest of the night. If you're the winner. It's nice and heavy. It's damp.

It feels like it might be leaking. My girlfriend is an audience and is motioning for me to steal that bottle of Camellia Cobra. You guys like that stuff? It's awesome. Okay, it's yours. She may have been possibly leaking. There you go. Oh, it's cold.

And it's cold. It's legitimately cold. It's awesome. Now somebody doesn't have to carry that around. This guy does. Yeah, it's cold. And it's cold. It's legitimately cold. It's awesome. Now somebody doesn't have to carry that around. This guy does. Yeah. I don't mind that. I don't mind that one bit.

All right. Well, do you guys think we can play really fast? Yeah. Okay. Let's go really fast. Let's play first person to two points in reverse Malton. Cool. And John won that last game.

And what order were we going in when John won that game? We went John, you, me. Okay, so we'll go John, John. Okay. John, John, Chris. John, John, as we do. John, John, Chris. It's our sex position.

That's right. I'll give you three films. That's a horrific human centipede. Like, worse than a regular human centipede. I'll give you three films, John, W, and then you tell me which one you think you know the most actors from. I'll tell you how many Leonard lists in his app,

and then you go ahead and bid how many you can name, and then the bidding proceeds from there. Okay. And so be ready, John, early. I'm ready. Which one of these three films? Beetlejuice? Beetlejuice or Beetlejuice?

Just wanted to see if Michael Keaton would suddenly appear. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Batman? Beetlejuice, Batman, or Batman Returns? Which one of those? And I believe I've already given you one of the names. That's true. So how many do you think, which one do you think

you know the most names in? These are all fun. Alright, I'm going to go with Batman Returns. Okay. Some people are excited about that. From 1992 and Leonard lists 12 names. Okay. So how many out of the 12 that Leonard lists,

you don't have to say them in order, but you just got to rattle them off. How many of those 12 do you think you could name? I'm going to bid one. He says the one name. So John Erler needs to be able to come up with more than one. Or challenge. I am not going to challenge.

Be a man. I think it's a respectable option to challenge him to name that one person. Certainly not. The one person you already named? Could be. He could name one of the others. I don't think so. And knowing what I know of John Smith, I'm definitely not going to challenge him on one name. So I'm going to go with two.

He says two names, Chris. Can you name three of these white people? I'm going to go with four names. Bamtastic! I'll go with five names.

Now we're talking. Now some serious bidding going on. I'm going to go with six names. Six names from Batman Returneth. And I'm going to say David. Okay. So you got to name six of these suckers. John.

When? Right now. Shit. No, it wasn't. The game isn't that you have to come up with it at some point in your lifetime. Okay. Michael Ke lifetime. Okay. Michael Keaton. Yes. Michelle Pfeiffer. Danny DeVito.

The guy who plays Commissioner Gordon. God damn it. This is not a Peter Weir situation. I'm going to need real names. Chris O'Donnell, so good as Robin in this one. It's his debut as the boy Wonder. Wrong movie. Carson Daly makes a magnificent

appearance as the pre-Riddler. The priddler? The priddler. They call him the priddler. That's great. He's just always just about to ask a question.

Pre-Riddler really made me laugh. All right, so Chris, Cubis has a point. So the four, Keaton, Pfeiffer, DeVito, Walken. Who's your fifth? Pat Hingle. Yes. Commissioner Gordon. Michael Goff.

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Michael Goff was Alfred. I think there was at least one more. Sucks that you don't get a point for that. Yeah, it really kind of is. Who was... It's basically three movies. Me and you, Pororo.

Me and you. Who was one of the Penguin's parents that said I'm adrift? You remember that? Oh, yeah, and Paul Rub. Remember that? Oh, yeah. And Paul Rubens. Paul Rubens, yeah. That was the other one.

Vincent Schiavelli, Jan Hooks. And whoever played Simone from Pee Wee. I can't remember her name. Right. She's not on the list, but yeah, she's probably in there too. Yeah, yeah. The mother of the weird Penguin baby. The other.

We got to get rid of this weird Penguin baby. All right. It's the real of this weird penguin baby. Alright. It's the real Sophie's choice. Yeah. I tried to bring it back to the beginning. I'm gonna keep it. Simone's choice. So let's start with

who challenged you? I challenged John earlier. Yeah, so we'll start with John W. and then go to Chris. And you get to pick between Mallrats. Oh, where's this going? Chasing Amy? Are we still wondering?

Or Dogma. Which one of those do you think you can name more people from? I think the most people of all time were in Dogma. So I'm going to go with that. Is this me picking or John? Yeah, it's John W. gets to pick.

Sorry. Oh, well, Mallrats. Okay. Shit. I don't know anything about Mallrats, and I know everything about Dogma. That's, yeah. Mallrats, the classic from 1995, gets 12 names listed

by Leonard. How many do you think you can name? Me? J-W-S. One name. It's always an interesting opening bid that you like to give. Then we go to Chris. It goes to me.

I know I'm drinking this milkshake. I know where he's going. I'm going two names. Okay. I get your fucking strategy. It's not a bad strategy. No, it's a good strategy. It just depends on what the wild card over here does.

You mean the pre-Riddler? Yeah. Priddler. It's Priddler. John, what do you got? I'm going to say three names. He says three, John.

I'll do four. I'll do five. This is great. I'm going to let you do five. Okay. Okay, for the win, getting us out almost on time even. God damn it. Five names from Mallrats. Okay. Okay, for the win, getting us out almost on time even.

God damn it. Five names from Mallrats. Jason Mews, Kevin Smith, Michael Rooker, Jason Lee, Ben Affleck. Yes, nailed it. Could probably go deeper. How much deeper can you go? Shannon Dougherty. Claire Ferlani.

Which London? Jason London. No, it's Jeremy. Yeah, who knows? Yeah, guess who didn't have to go any deeper than five? Yeah. Me and Miss Peraro right here. Ethan Suplee.

Sure. Joey Lauren Adams. Priscilla Barnes, of course. Yeah, with the three nipples. Yeah, three nipples, I mean. Three tits, three nipples. All right, that means Chris Cubis is our winner! Enjoy your landline phone, Miss Peraro.
