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 of all kinds. This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you once again from almost out of the woods with another Homes Alone edition. It's Sunday, October 31st, 2021, Halloween Sunday. But this episode doesn't plop until late tonight.

So I hope everyone is having a nice November so far. But we're going to go back in time to the last day of October with my guests, Chris Garcia, Eliza Skinner, and Andy Wood. Hey. Hey. Oh, yeah. Oh, we're the ghost of Halloween yesterday. Yeah, it's the most frustrating day to record because it should be like an episode all about

scary movies and Halloween. But actually, that's silly because who wants to hear any of that tomorrow? See, I would, but I'm a real spook lover. I'm into the spookiness in general, but I do think it's remarkable how fast spooky season just cuts off for the most of the world. Yeah. I saw a Christmas ad on TV already. Oh yeah. I went to Marshall's the other day. It's all Christmas. Yeah. The transition just really just to have, like they sell out of, you know,

whatever the popular Halloween thing is, you know, once they get that off their shelves, they're just ready to move on. They didn't even sell out. I had to walk to the back of the Marshalls and there was just a pile of sad, forgotten about spider mugs. I bought them just because I felt bad for them

and because I like spider mugs a lot. Yeah, that's a, that's a real specific item. See, I think it's year round. There's summer spiders. There's winter spiders, definitely spring spiders. You guys know what I mean? Yeah. They're the worst. Yeah. Next door I go into, I don't care what it is i'm at i'm asking a poor employee where are the spider mugs and uh see see what kind of twisted logic they throw all over that and what they think a spider mug is it's the beginning of some sort of narnia uh adventure

let's meet everybody alphabetically and individually starting with host of the scattered podcast it's a podcast called scattered it's not i wasn't describing it and um and his name excuse me his name first time guest chris garcia welcome how's it going thanks doug that's the right pronunciation. You just huck some phlegm and then it's Chris. And Garcia, thanks for having me again. I'm excited. That was the most punk rock phlegm situation I've ever had during a podcast. But something's wrong with me today i'll tell you that you sound great

you sound well you sound great and thank you for for doing this on uh on uh you know the day uh its name shall not be spoken yeah uh i did stand-up comedy last night for it's so fun to do stand-up you know on a saturday, the night before Halloween. Cause you know, if you're not at a horror movie or somewhere with friends, you know, what are you doing out? Like what's, why are you even? And so the whole crowd was just people, not a single person had a costume on. It was all people that were just like, where can we go huddle together uncostumed and not, you know,

not make such a big thing out of the day before the day you don't care that much about. I think that's great. I think it's weird when people dress up to come. I mean, I probably think that they're asking for if they dress up in costume uh to a comedy show but i was i was at the comedy store on friday and someone and some guy on stage who remained unnamed was like check out this witch and i thought he was talking about someone in costume and he just wasn't he was just an asshole i was like oh my god wow that's brutal i was like oh let's oh is she wearing a hat or um does she have a broom no she's just a nice asian lady sitting in the

front row oh no that is you know it's hard you know it's a dark room it's hard to see it's hard to see you know any any lady could be a witch some of the dudes it's hard, you know, it's a dark room. It's hard to see, you know, any, any lady could be a witch. Some of the dudes. It's true. Everybody's a suspect these days. But a big fan of the entire month of October, I was just told is also joining us. And I, I must say that there's a lot of it that I do enjoy.

And, you know, scary movies, of course, is one of those things. Returning guest, head writer of Earth to Ned. I always, I don't know why I want to say that the other way around. But for some reason, I just think Ned has a bigger role on the show than Earth does. Yeah, he does. And it really really it is him communicating to earth ned to earth would have made sense also but sure okay good i'm glad you're one of those people that like you know will is happy to accept it either way it of course is on uh plus disney since I'm mixing everything up. And this, of course, is Eliza Skinner. Hi, Eliza.

Hi. Listening to you guys talk about the witches in the audience, I also have to point out, this is LA. There's a really high chance that that person self-identifies as a witch. That's true. Yeah, you know. We got Scientologists. We got witches yeah and some guys don't you know they don't they don't know from fashion they think you know dark clothes just means you know either goth or a witch

or something yeah yeah well my um my boyfriend's uh daughter became a witch while i was living with them during the pandemic um which i thought was going to be like, oh, great. So I'm going to be we're going to be able to to bond so much because I'm I'm goth, you know, so and then I found out very quickly that I am a cultural witch and she is an orthodox witch. So she's I'm like, want to watch a spooky movie? And she's like, oh, no, is there a bear in the yard? And I'm like, OK okay i don't i don't understand this maybe you could go see wicked together that seems like common ground right

i would yeah i think witches of all stripes would have an interest in wicked exactly and you know they're singing and dancing who doesn't love that right but there's a nice one and there's a bad one you know like there's somebody anybody can empath there's a bad one, you know, like there's somebody, anybody can empathize with at least one of them. Yeah. Well, and the bad one, is she bad or does she just stand up for herself? Wow. You know, it makes you think the whole thing.

Yeah. They, yeah, the whole thing has got a lot, a lot of big question marks at the end of Wicked. I think that's why people see it repeatedly. It's because it really brings up questions that it does not answer. Joining us for the 17th time. I don't know. I just feels about that feels about right. I like that number. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. It's five-time Jeopardy champion, Andy Wood. Thank you for having me. I should qualify four-time, but I wish five would have been great. I was on it five times. The fifth time I lost. There you go. Five-time Jeopardy guest. Yes.

I'm going to say five-time appearer. Six-time appearer because the tournament, I appeared and lost in the tournament. Six-time appearer, four-time appearer. Six-time appearer because the tournament, I appeared and lost in the tournament. Six-time appearer, four-time appearer, two-time loser. We did not steal any valor. You've seen him six times on Jeopardy. It's Andy Wood.

Thank you for having me. Yeah, it's very exciting to be back. And I'm bummed that we can't talk about scary movies because it's past the season and it can't be spoken of. Well, certainly, you know, there's no time of year. Even the very first day of November is fine for a scary movie. I'm always up for a good one. for a scary movie i'm always up for a good one did you so you kind of showed up today with the want to talk a little bit is there one particular one i feel like i'm forcing the conversation off

your chest come on yeah i mean i just if you you know because i i like to you know i try to tell my guests there's zero prep on this one because i don't want anyone to put any effort into something that might not you know i might not come up or something but if you like came here thinking about a scary movie I'd love to hear about it well I didn't like do the homework because of this I just it's spooky season and I hadn't ever had never seen or even heard of near dark until last week and that's a really cool thing to discover I'm sure you've seen near dark I mean that's a movie you could recommend year-. Cause while it is, you know, about vampires, it's also, it's, you know,

there's a lot going on there. It's also a Western. It's also just very stylish. It's also Catherine Bigelow's first directed by a woman. Yeah. Who, who kicks ass it, you know, every time out. Yeah. It's a, and of course, yeah, as a tribute to the late Bill Paxton. It's the Paxton-iest I've seen him. He's so great and over the top in that bar fight scene. It's just incredible. That's worth it for the whole movie. That one scene. I haven't seen this movie now. I'm excited.

Yeah. It's Catherine Bigelow's first movie came up the year after aliens. I think she had just met James Cameron and she wanted to get this, uh, this family vibe among these vampires. And she was trying to cast it. And James Cameron was like, well, we just shot aliens last year. These people get along. Why don't you just use these three actors who already like have a familial vibe. So it's got Lance Henriksen, um, Bill Paxton. And, uh,

is it Jennifer Goldstein, Jeanette Goldstein who played in aliens. It's got three people from aliens. Wait. So Jeanette from Jeanette's bras. Wait, what? You don't know about her bras? No, I don't. She's like a bra mogul now. What?

Yeah. I mean, She's a bro-gal? Yeah. Um, a bra mogul now what yeah i mean she's a brogle yeah um i want to make sure i'm thinking of the from aliens right yeah you're right it's her yeah yeah so she's like so any any woman with like um you know slamming jugs uh that needs to find some sort of support to live their life and stand up straight especially in the la area knows of Jeanette. She's like, you go in, you have like the fancy fitting. It's like, there's like a practically a cult of her now. The tagline says Jeanette's bras, the alphabet starts at D.

Yeah. See, I, I, and I just love that. That's her backstory is, is aliens. That's amazing oh i said sanchez i should have said vasquez i'm sorry it's her character private vasquez in aliens all right everybody stop looking things up on the sorry yes it really undermines the game show element of this program we'll not be using that when it's the listeners think everybody's just looking everything hey i was using my brain, so I just know about. Yeah, see, that's cheating as well. We need your brain.

That's fair. Turn your brain off. All right, that's fair. All right, so we introduced everybody. And now, because we are just, you know, racing into the non-H of the year and things are, you know, that's one thing I do like about this transition is that they don't just suddenly drop pumpkin flavored things like pumpkin can, you know, coast all the way to like December 26, I think. Yeah, honestly, I'd prefer pumpkin start now. I don't need pumpkins for Halloween.

They're not spooky. They're not scary. They're vegetables. That's an interesting point. And these days it's almost like tattoos. People are just carving anything they feel like carving. You know what I mean? It's not strictly a face anymore. Now it's all sorts of nonsense. They're carving into the pumpkins. Yeah. And we're already feeling very conflicted about Thanksgiving. We're like, do we, do we celebrate this? Do we kind of skip over it?

You know, if we piled all of the pumpkin onto the Thanksgiving, I feel like it could be kind of a pumpkin day and people could enjoy it for that. I'd be more excited about November if that's when pumpkins, I'm talking also about you know pumpkin flavors and yeah i'm talking about spice i have i just have so many pumpkin flavored things throughout the season and none that i'm specifically addicted to i just if i'm purchasing something and uh pumpkin is is a variety that's available of that thing and it's usually only available you know in the around this time of year then uh i i tend to gravitate towards it um you like a squash i guess so i don't

know i don't know i don't know what's wrong with me i mean i i'm one of those people you know how there's a handful of different candies that come up and people talk about around Halloween where they discuss how can anybody like that? That candy is disgusting. You know, like Necco wafers or candy corn or black licorice. I love all three of those. Wow. Circus peanuts, bring them home. Oh, so wait, do you dislike the more popular candies or just like any candy?

I like it to me. Okay. Yeah. Wow. Those are, those are hard to access. They're, they're, they're very hard to relate to. Yeah. I really, I love a red licorice or a, uh, just a reg, you know, a candy bar of many

different varieties. These, these people in my building that put a little dish of candy out and uh you know for whoever i guess because they're trying to make sure they don't hear you i don't want them to hear this i'm trying to keep it down but uh they they uh they put out this dish and one of the things in the dish is just they're even smaller than fun size or minis they're're like really small, different candies. But one of the ones that they have is a tiny Heath bar. And I've always liked Heath bars, but it's always too much.

You know, like when you bite into it, you're getting too much of it all over. You know, you get your, you know, like an entire row of teeth get all gooey. But these are just a tiny Heath bar. And I, that's my new obsession now is I don't think they can make Heath bars small enough, like the smaller, smaller, the better. That's why they were such a hit as a candy topping, you know, some crushed up Heath. Yeah.

At the yogurt stand or the, what's that? Cold stone. I haven't been to a cold stone in so crazy long. It's like just been not a part of my life anymore. You moved to the city. Those are in beaches and suburbs. Oh, okay. I thought, yeah, I guess, you know,

like every mall's got one, right? Or a lot of malls did, you know. Enough for a lot of great comedy to come out of it from so many comedians at that time. All right. So the question now I have to ask everybody before we get to the games is to just recommend one movie. You can be recommending it for any reason. You know, my personal choice would be just something that you think, you know think you're confident people would like it is a great way to go.

Does anybody want to go first? I'll go. I'm going to go with the movie I watched last night, and it is spooky. It's a horror movie, but I loved it, and I'd never seen it before, which is You're Next. I thought it had

everything I love in a scary movie, jump scares. And it was funny, but not annoying, like not too campy. And it was just, and the ending was great. It was nice hour and a half.

Great, scary movie. I'm going to go with your next. All right. So if anybody needs a scary movie for next October, jot that down. I love that movie. That's a great choice. Thank you.

I'm going to move away from scary movies because I feel like that's what we need, right? I guess. I don't know. This time of healing? Post-holiday healing? I'm like, can i write the ship um i i i'm going to say all that jazz um now is everyone gonna like it no no but challenge yourself you know yes get it be part of the conversation of of many many years ago also i've got've got a film still of it right above my desk where I'm sitting. But it's a real weird movie about and by Bob Fosse.

Yeah. I love it. I can't think of another example of a writer, director, just through a fictional character he's you know he's made up uh still just pretty much lay out there uh all the flaws yeah just all all the all the people he traumatized just and they all get to give you know give it back to him throughout the movie and some of them are in the movie playing character versions of themselves you know give it back to him throughout the movie and some of them are in the movie playing

character versions of themselves yeah you know what i think the the closest you could compare it to would be is it do you say it's synodoke schenectady yeah yeah um so yeah that sort of thing where it's like it's about it's about him almost in real time with his girlfriend it's about him almost in real time with his girlfriend playing his girlfriend she had to audition for the part yeah um real real wild kind of stuff yeah and he does not come off as a cool dude uh but but the the way that he presents a lot of stuff i think is is very interesting and very much of its time so yeah that one out i like uh i i want to revisit that movie because it's um uh you know i thought about it a lot during the fossy verdon miniseries it was on fx uh you know a couple years ago um that you know was of course less exciting than

all that jazz because it was just you know showing you that you course, less exciting than all that jazz, because it was just, you know, showing you that, you know, the womanizing and all that was a lot less exciting when they just, you know, documented, you know, Sam Rockwell's playing the guy. But yeah, when it's less like, oh, this is a sickness. Boo hoo. I can't stop. It's more like, yo, dude, you really should stop. boohoo i can't stop it's more like yo dude you really should stop what's the matter with you yeah uh all that jazz is really it's wild how much of a tribute it is to like two or two or three other bob fossey movies and the man ultimately only made like you know only directed like five or six movies but um but the other thing i just want to point out about all that jazz is it's just the choreography and the musical numbers and the the the songs themselves it's all very very entertaining and catchy it's not

the movie's not a complete downer oh no yeah yeah it's it's it's fun but it's also very uh very honest and uh ultimately pretty depressing but not spooky so there you go yeah it's yeah well there is you know there is like kind of a ghost character throughout the entire okay yeah there is uh death is in the movie as a character yes but she's glamorous she's so glam. I love that movie. Roy Scheider's great. I mean, he's just like, yeah, I feel like that's one of those. I think that's one of those best actor opportunities where they really could have given it to him and they went. Because he didn't have the kind of career where he could get to play, you know, characters that were, you know, that interesting.

He just had to be like the guy who comes in and, you know, is in charge and yells at people. And he was great in that movie yeah but i feel like he always had like there was something interesting about how the way he played those other characters and yeah in this one he got to like lean into that interesting part he'd sneak the humanity into those other parts but then this one was really like uh it must have been very soul-bearing for him just as an actor to do all that stuff yeah apparently they got very close like that wasn't who he wasn't who Fosse wanted for the part um and he fought for it and then they they stayed good friends I believe uh through the rest of their lives um but yeah it is like it feels like real art to me, you know, where it's like you may not walk away liking the artist, but you're like they did all those people in there.

They were all committed to making something that was art. Does Roy Scheider dance in this movie? Yeah. Really? I mean, kind of. I mean, kind of. Well, yeah, I have a, I'm looking at a photo of the final scene where he is,

he's dancing with Ben Vereen and. Yeah. There's some dancing for sure. He definitely stretched the, like the Oscars always seem to really get like, you know, thrown at actors who suddenly sing and dance and something and can pull it off, you know, when there's, when that's not their thing they're known for but he does a lot of you know there's just a lot of him barking choreography orders and people while wearing you know dance attires and so he doesn't do like too much choreography uh yeah

but it's more choreography than say michael douglas in a chorus line where you don't believe for a second that guy's ever danced for a moment in his life, but there's plenty of directors of, uh, you know, Broadway shows that, you know, don't dance and don't know, don't know how to, and they, you know, they just have choreographers there to do that. So, um, but was he, was Michael Douglas kind of that, that director, that was a Kaminsky right in chorus line. Same universe. was kind of that that director that was uh kaminsky right in chorus line same universe that's that's a trip i like that one that's like uh that guy uh you know tried to

do musicals in the field in that area as well so that's why he eventually became the you know acting coach yeah he was doing okay with with stage work and then he went to Hollywood to get into film stuff and yeah, just didn't take off. Oh, Kaminsky and your methods. Andy, would you care

to contribute a movie? These are such impassioned recommendations so far. Yeah, this is one that I consider spooky, even though it's not a spooky, it's not a Halloween movie or a horror movie at all, but like thinking about it spooks me out. But 2004's Primer, which I might've recommended before.

Oh yeah. Primer, slight spoiler that it's time travel related but that comes out in the first like 15 minutes or so uh but yeah just like the headiest most engineering time travel movie with like some of the most perplexing time travel paradoxes and also just i've watched it so many times and i'm still not sure what happens but but I like that. It's just really unsettling and naturalistic. All the actors I think were like engineer friends of his. I think most of them were sort of outsiders, but they all did a great job. And I think it won best picture at Sundance and beat garden state or

something, something like that. I'm not going to Google it, which is great as it should. That's what should beat garden state. But primer. Yeah. I try to rewatch that every couple of years. google it which is great as it should that's what should beat garden state uh but primer yeah i try to re-watch that every couple years yeah i want to say does it have something to do with looper also or was it maybe referenced as like being looper came out later that's ryan johnson right yeah i want to say that like i heard because I feel like I heard of that movie in an article or discussion of Lubert that was like, this is a movie to check out. A thinking immense time travel movie. Yeah.

I mean, there must be, if you wanted to watch every movie that had time travel, that'd be quite a challenge. I bet you there's a lot of her. Yeah. But that's an interesting thing, because I know some people are just immediately, time travel puts them off right away. Like they're already checked out. Like I'm not interested in time travel,

which I'm more like not interested in doing it than i am and like i can watch a movie with time travel if it's if it's an interesting story they have time travel in the uh harry potter play did you know that the harry potter and the cursed child that has time travel in it which is you know especially interesting in uh in the harry potter universe because they you know can kind of go back and change some things i feel like um time so too much i feel like time travel uh like vampires has become has has been added to the the canon of we're really talking about something else when we're talking about this in movies you know like zombies or we're always like well it's really a metaphor for some other thing now i feel like as soon as i see time travel or vampires okay what is about your dad

it's about the church what is this time travel is usually dads um but but it's it's it's not just time travel sometimes you fuck a mom though in time travel so sometimes it's about moms too or almost yeah yeah yeah or come close yeah yeah but that was like you know that's back in the day yeah you know i'm talking about post um back to the future yeah back to the future it's just about time travel i think but you know um by the way i guess i think they did i think you might be onto something there that they you know as filmmakers that i don't think they were interested in the sex with mom thing except for it's funny to watch michael j fox squirm yes yeah i mean they weren't interested in exploring like

could you step into this role for yourself yeah and it's funny to call him calvin klein yeah it was so funny i can't believe somebody hasn't remade that just to make that a victoria's secret joke right be such an easy switcheroo and then you could ruin so many childhoods because uh you know if you change the sex of anything these days people are just uh so upset it's so ruinous to what already. I wish there was some time when somebody could go, James Bond's being played by a woman. And here's a stack of every James Bond movie made up to this point.

And I'm going to destroy them before you destroy it. Because that's what they're acting like happens every time there's some sort of change. Everybody acts like what used to exist is just obliterated. Yeah, well, it's it's almost like they think these iconic characters are real people and so they're like you've changed the person i knew into a different human like they're not real people they're all of the versions that you've seen they can still be each version that you liked and you can just forget about the ones you don't like let's pretend yes but you know it messes with the timeline you know and it's not that one's not canon when somebody tells me something's not canon i i just immediately i'm like well okay we don't we don't

need to discuss this any further because you've decided that something's yes it's saying you can say anything's canon if you want to the word doesn't even make sense after a while especially Nick exactly great impassioned please for people to check out

movies specifically these three you might be surprised by how much you enjoy these movies. I bet you there's somebody sitting out there who hasn't heard of all three of them. That person exists, and we're helping them out. And we're going to go to a quick commercial break before we play our first game today. We'll do that right after this we'll be right back

we're back and fastest commercial breaks in the game uh because we don't have a lot of sponsors let's start with a game called abc d's nuts uh pardon that expression I don't know Looking back I hardly know how the game Got that name But it's a spelling game And today because Douglas movies Is coming back to Zany's In Nashville on Sunday

November 14th at 420 Today we're going to spell Nashville N-A-S-H-V-I-L-L-E. And by spell it, I mean this. We're going to start with Chris. And the first letter in Nashville is N. So all Chris has to do is name any movie that begins with the letter N. And he continues on in the game without being eliminated. Then we move to Eliza.

The next letter is A in Nashville. So you name any movie that begins with the letter A. And then Andy would get S, et cetera. You only get the letter that's before yours if the person fails somehow in naming any movie that begins with the letter. But you can win this whole thing automatically if you match the movie that i've written down in advance of all the movies in the world uh i've read some down for each of these letters and um if you match it you win and it's there's the theme so you might figure that out as we go but

unfortunately chris has no help with in terms of a theme just has to guess any movie that begins with the letter n i'm just gonna try to have to guess this theme i'm gonna go with national treasure which is a national treasure uh starring uh nick cage that also starts that's exactly what I thought of that is exactly what I was thinking maybe because of the Nash in Nashville but that's exactly maybe that's why it happens is the Nash but yeah I'm gonna go with that yeah

I don't know what did you did one pop into your head Eliza um adaptation oh wait for that for the end sorry I'm moving ahead already um Night of the living dead but i was like thank god i don't have it because we're not getting spooky i've just never done that before ask the other players what they what they uh what popped into

their head because it is i bet you the people match a lot for reasons like that we were just talking about the nashville like just the, got the NAS sound going. So you just follow through with national treasure. And you both went with the original and didn't pick national treasure to a book of secrets. But I wrote down a motion picture that actually may want an Academy Award. It was definitely nominated. A movie called Norbit.

That's a good one. My friend was the location manager for that movie. He keeps the sign up in his apartment of the direction you're supposed to go to Norbit. The yellow with black writing?

I guess they could probably just write Norbit, because that was like an original IP at the time, right? Yeah. It was a spinoff of Dr. Doolittle, was it? I don't think so. I think it was just a straight-up character he came up with. I mean, the movie's horrifying. I think it won an Oscar for best makeup effects because the makeup's

incredible. They make a lot of people that aren't spectacularly large individuals into such, and then, and then make fun of how their bodies look. It's a weird movie. Yeah. It's a, it's a, it's a big movie for fat suits. They say they like to say, you know, in caddy circles discussing the Oscars that Eddie Murphy lost the Oscar for dream girls. Didn't,

didn't win when he was nominated for sporting actor and he is very good in that movie. Uh, they say that he lost because Norbert came out around the time that the oscar voters were trying to pick a winner and uh you know seeing ads on tv of him playing norbert kind of soured everybody on him this isn't a classy enough actor for our award exactly exactly you know because it's already hard he already had to act dramatic to get an oscar even though he's a brilliant comedian you know it's like the whole system is messed up like being funny in a movie is so much harder than than being dramatic in a movie oh i i was

like i went on i went down a real rabbit hole about this the other night which i won't take on right now but i feel like the academy awards gaslight the whole world where they're like this is yeah this is the best movie from this year and all of us are like no it wasn't what are you talking about i don't remember look how many of us pull the artist out and watch that we're like oh gotta gotta sit down and watch the artist nobody does that nobody does that it's true i just and all the acting it's always who did the best impression this year. Not who did the best acting. Wow. He really talks like that other person. Okay, great.

Yeah, it is an impression or weight loss or, you know, having to wear ugly makeup or having to look. I love Charlize Theron when she got an Oscar nomination for having to look a a look i love charlize theron when she got an oscar nomination for having to look a different kind of pretty yeah and i believe that was what hallie berry got her oscar for also right and both of us had monsters maybe that's all yet well i was talking about in bombshell when she plays megan kelly she's like me, Megan Kelly's also an attractive woman.

So it's just like putting makeup, gobs of makeup on her to make her look like a different attractive woman. And you're just watching the stunt the whole time. And then Nicole Kidman walks in and looking like Nicole Kidman instead of Gretchen Carlson, who she's supposed to be playing. Like, you don't have one movie in the movie playing. Like you don't have one movie in them. Well, you don't have one person in the movie go to such lengths to look like the

character and another person in the same movie, not trying at all. Yeah. Oh man. Have you seen the, the Tyler Perry, I believe it's temptation diary of a marriage counselor. I have not seen that one. Confessions of a marriage marriage counselor i have not seen that one confessions of a marriage counselor okay well it's great because there's a big jump forward in time at the very end i'm not going to give you spoilers but so all the actors are wearing age makeup um they've aged a number of years except brandy like with no explanation it just seems like brandy was like, I'm not wearing that stuff. Thank you. There's no reason for that to age. I love it. Yeah. Maybe, maybe they scheduled like maybe the next day she had a scene,

you know, cause they shoot everything out of order. Maybe like she had to shoot something the next day where she had to look, you know, she wanted to look good. And you know, that makeup just destroys your skin for you know it's like such a process to recover from from that crap i don't know that's the weird maybe she's like i feel like i would age like this i would age really well um i would look exactly the same yeah everyone else felt so bad on set like okay that's what she thinks she's gonna look like we look like this yeah imagine showing up to shoot a scene and you're like well at least we all look like wait

a minute oh man uh all right so we're on to the letter a and uh this fast-paced game oh sorry what do you think it is no that was fun. Well, I said adaptation before because I thought we were doing a Nick Cage thing, but we're clearly not. So, and I already gave, I'm going to say All the President's Men. Oh, okay. That's a fun switch up. I went with a motion picture called Albert Nobbs.

Okay. Yeah, so, so far we got Norbert and Albert No knobs and uh we're on to uh andy for the letter s i'm gonna go spider-man colon into the spider-verse oh that's cool i like the spoken colon but um i went with steve jobs i should have followed the lead of the first two things you did. We've got Norbit and Albert Nobbs and Steve Jobs. And H is back to Chris. Okay. This theme.

Let's see. What is a movie? Huh? what is a movie huh um gosh i can't think of a movie that starts with a person um i'm gonna go with her just oh that's uh yeah i i like that movie and uh it certainly begins with the letter h even begins with the same first two letters the movie i think i i said what herbie fully loaded no but that would have been a great one because i i love bringing up herbie fully loaded whenever possible uh because just sounds like somebody that's just drunk.

You know, you got to know Herbie's car, and apparently he comes with a lot of extras, but I don't feel like Herbie is ever fully loaded, but maybe he was in that one. You certainly don't want to drive home with him when he's fully loaded. You know, take a different car. Yeah. But anyway, I went with a movie called Henry fool. Oh yeah.

V is the next letter for Eliza. Okay. Then I'm in an attempt to get this right. I'm going to go with Victor Victoria. Oh, very nice. So close. Van Wilder. this right i'm gonna go with victor victoria oh very nice uh so close van wilder ah everybody's friend van wilder uh this next one andy i'm glad you got this next one i know this is not going to be the one you went with but i can't pull a name uh i'm gonna go i robot oh no i mean this one's so dumb i couldn't you know there's certainly there's indiana jones and the blah blah blah blah that's not exactly what i was going for here uh so um i went with Ivan Ho. Which of course is one word actually. Al, let's next find it back to you, Chris.

Okay. I'm going to go with Leonard Part Six. My favorite comedian. Sorry, I'm going to go with Leonard part six, my favorite comedian. Sorry, I'm just kidding. I mean, has there ever been a, like a, a joke title that that's a bigger fart than it's true. It's so true.

Like history of the world part one, it already happened. So that, that, that makes that joke joke pretty much that pretty much kills the numbers right there with the fake starting number um anyway uh i also liked uh remo williams the the adventure begins because they never made another one of those uh what was it what was the l what'd you say for l leonard part six oh yeah i talked about it for so long i forgot and i'm just i'm just looking at what i wrote on did he say that and uh the answer is larry crown oh has anybody seen larry crown it's really bad no it's it's about a guy named larry crown who like there's no reason to name a movie after him oh wait is this tom hanks no yeah yeah i have seen that oh clearly it was memorable julia roberts is like she becomes larry crown's girlfriend for no reason.

He just gets this hot girlfriend. He just walks around going, I can't believe this girl's into me. I'm just, I'm just Larry Crown. I don't even have a funny accent or anything. I'm just this guy. He like, oh, it's, he rides around in a moped. Yeah.

He's not on the spectrum. He's just like, he's just like, it's just like Tom Hanks going, what would my life be like? If I had none of this, if I had none of these things, if I was just single and working at a community college, what would my life be like? And the answer is not interesting. Yeah. Anyway, I'm sorry to go off about Larry Crowder.

He's got this new movie coming out.'s just called Finch, and I'm pretty sure that's his character's name. It's just like, dude, can you come up with a title? Would it kill you? Yeah. Did he just save him, pride the right? I'm out. That's the best title anyone could ever come up with.

Hell. Joe vs. the Volcano is pretty fun. I love that title. that movie almost drove its director out of the game though he was so frustrated with the process yeah well yeah i need to go back and watch that because i just remember it being so panned and i feel like it's an ishtar thing where it's like did it is it did did it was it really that bad or did it just become a great punch line that everybody used too much it's great movie it's really good yeah yeah i feel like i can't recommend it enough because it's like especially if you've never seen it before

just it's just you know it's just wild how the tonal shifts and how they actually work are uh are pretty amazing and people that like that movie quote it all the time because there's how the tonal shifts and how they actually work are, are pretty amazing. And people that like that movie quoted all the time, because there's like several things that people say that they, you know, that's a, you know, it's kind of like a, it's a lot like a play, you know, it's like, you know, the real solid like three acts and very specific things happening in each one.

And, but also a lot of repeating of lines. So that ends up, uh, you know, leading to catchphrases for people that, uh, watch the movie a lot or at least have seen it a few times. Are you saying this because you have a favorite catchphrase from this? Tell us what the catchphrase is. Okay. No, no, no. Well, I mean, I can, you know, I like, I, as I was saying all that, I can think of like, and this isn't true of too many movies. I can think of like four or five, at least lines from the movie that, uh,

that you just, when the situation presents itself, it's a fun thing to say, especially Meg Ryan's. Uh, she just says as two different characters says the same thing twice. I think she says, uh, uh, Tom Hanks says something and two different characters, says the same thing twice, I think. She says, Tom Hanks says something and she just goes, I have no response to that. I forgot that she was in that also. So that's three movies that they did

together. Yeah, and she plays three parts in that one. And I dare say it's one of her best performances. The three characters are very different from each other. Anyway, who's up? Me. Elle.

Elle in Nashville. Okay. So I can only think of girl names, and I feel like it's boy names. So I'm going to go with – I'm not going to get it. I'm going to go with Logan's Run. Um, so I'm going to go with, I don't, I'm not going to get it. I'm going to go with Logan's run. I apologize for the only boy name saying I didn't even see that coming,

but it's, it really is true. I couldn't say Lolita or Lady Bird. Yeah. But Albert knobs is, um, you know, played by a woman. So that's a Glenn Close trying to, you you know hiding out as a man named albert knobs yeah well victor victoria you know i tried yeah no you did you tried and i i'm sorry that i let everybody down because i my my obsession with larry crown made me just i just wrote it down a second time it's's really strange. It's again. Yeah. So that,

that brings us to E and you know, this game is really just for fun. There's really no winners or losers, but Andy does have the opportunity here. I'm holding on. Take the whole thing. If his E matches the E that I wrote down. I'm thinking the thing at the end of this is going to make it not right,

but hoping EdTV. Oh! So close. Oh, did you do EdVHS? It crossed my mind, even. But you're right about the TV part. I wanted it to just be strictly

names if possible, and the one I picked was Edward Scissorhands. Yeah. Close. So nobody wins. So that means in our next game, we'll just go back to playing in alphabetical order. Apologies to Mr. Wood for having that name. And we'll play one more game quickly quickly right after the break we'll be

right back we're back and our second and final game today is called parental guidance i as a person without a child but a person who's also when i'm watching movies i'm fairly sensitive to oh you know just got that rating because of this or that. You know, I don't know why it's interesting to me, but mostly because it's, you know, a form of censorship that I don't approve of. So I'm like, you know, always curious how far they go out of their way to, you know, change a director's vision just to get a rating that'll sell more tickets at the box office.

just to get a rating that'll sell more tickets at the box office. And, but also just the things that these parental guidance spots, columns on the internet, the things they point out, it's just, they really, it's real nitpicky and, you know, tells you everything you should possibly worry about your children seeing in these movies, even the most, you look up even the most innocent of movies and it's, it's funny what they'll find and say that they, you should keep your kids away from, which kind of makes sense. Like there's some heavy, heavy, serious movies. When I,

if I had seen it when I was five, it wouldn't have meant anything to me, but wizard of Oz is scary as fuck. and they think that's a kid's show yeah uh so i have real mixed feelings about uh these uh parental guides and what what they uh pass along but i'm just uh uh i'm just passing it along to you, because I'm going to read some of the things that parents are warned about, about a film. And your job is to guess which film I'm talking about. I'm going to start with Chris, and I'll give Chris one warning. Starting with the father of the group? This feels unfair and then but then i'll add if chris doesn't get it then i'll add a second so then eliza will basically have two clues then we add a third one for andy and if he doesn't get

it then if it gets all the way back to ch, the fourth clue just gives it away. Just absolutely gives it away. I hope. I've been wrong before, but I try. And each person will get a chance to play three rounds. Each person will get a chance to go first for one round. And I've got a tiebreaker if we need it. Any questions? No.

Chris. Yes. What movie do you you think out of all the movies so these these start off very tough you just have to take a stab at it uh and i will say now that there is a theme today of the all these answers a group of teenagers pass around a marijuana joint and drink while on a beach um is it uh uh while on a beach uh a lot of movies that movie the beach isn't there um no uh smoking that's what the movies um i don't know um i don't even do i have a guess uh uh i don't know north shore that's not what happened to that movie i'm gonna go with north Shore in the interest of time. Okay.

Incorrect. Eliza, add to that this clue. One of the characters ignores advice to have wine breathe a little and fills an entire tumbler with wine oh that sounds so familiar but i i i don't know exactly so i'm gonna say jaws that is correct yes yes That is correct. Yes! Yes! Ha-ha! Damn.

Wow. Yeah. That's the scene with the aforementioned Roy Scheider as Chief Brody. Richard Dreyfuss brings wine over for dinner so they can get together and discuss sharks. Yes. And he tells him, let that breathe a little. And Chief Brody just pours his whole fucking thing into his glass and it's a real strong character moment for both of those actors and uh it's not enough of that in movies it's chock full of character moments oh it's such a

good movie um yeah i was going mostly off of the first clue but the second one i was like it feels familiar it it could be in that movie. Maybe that's what I'm remembering it for. Let's go. Yeah, I thought that might tip it a little bit. And we tipped it all the way there. The next clue was about, you know, the skinny dipping girl and what parts of her you can see. And then the fourth clue was the movie can be traumatic for people swimming in the ocean. I mean, it's pretty much in the title

of the parental warning. Don't watch this movie while swimming in the ocean. It's really way too scary. All right. So that's round one. Eliza got the point.

And coincidentally, she gets to go first this next round anyway and um here first first clue eliza okay a teen boy says she's got the tits of a sparrow she's got the tits of a sparrow yeah okay well let's narrow it down to it's it's a well-written movie yeah and it's about it's about people not birds because that would be a different type of a comment if it was a bird movie um uh i'm gonna go with uh some kind of wonderful you know that seems like something they'd say there maybe that was kind of a john hughes hallmark is like kind of making up uh insults so that you know it wasn't from the lexicon already he would create things that would be said later yeah uh anyway he was a vanguard he really was but for better or worse

because some of the things he'd make up were like okay that's that's not you know i'm my favorite is when jed nelson calls somebody a neo maxi zune dweeby like i don't think the tough guy would string those words together just that's how i feel about it um andy here's your second clue three characters share a bottle of whiskey bits of a sparrow three characters share a bottle of whiskey not you're not specifying the age of these characters just three characters three characters yeah bottle of whiskey um

it's uh it's not the um what's the lancaster by the sea is that not the manchester by the sea lancaster uh the sea? Is that not the Manchester by the sea? Lancaster. The most depressing movie ever.

No, that's my guess though. No, that's not right. That's not right. Chris. Yes. A killer whale is found with a huge chunk bitten out of its face. I don't know. So I'm just going to say red Sparrow. Cause I think it would be funny if that's how that would be got that name. Someone said that about Jenniferrence and they gave it that title that i've never seen that either um red spell that's my answer i mean you know i i wish

i could make the correct sound for that answer because it's it's such a fun answer but no and this should give it away yeah i, I got it. Give the clue. Oh, you think you already know what it is? I do. Do you want to say it now? Jaws 2. Impress everybody. What is it?

Jaws 2. We did it. That is correct. Oh my goodness. You ran away with this thing, Eliza. This is the game for you. As long as it's questions about Jaws movies, you know what you're talking about.

Well, and if I knew you, I feel like this is all questions about Jaws movies. Yeah, right? The fourth clue is going to be as with the first film, it is infamous for making people scared of sharks and going into the water yeah yeah i mean it does do that as with the first yes um all right so

now just for fun uh see see who can figure this one out the fastest because now now you know the theme i think you kind of know the theme. A fish accidentally flips the switch and soap shoots onto a whale at the whale wash. He is okay after that. Two jellyfish torture the main character

by stinging him while he is strapped up. Angelina Jolie's character acts kind of weird and seductive. A shark is crushed by an anchor and dies i'm glad we didn't have to do this for nobody nobody is it jabber jaw and lara croft go on No. The Megs? No. A jolie and a shark. This is so funny. Okay, listen to this first part again.

A fish accidentally flips a switch and Soap shoots onto a whale at the whale wash. He is okay after that. Shark's tail. A shark's tail. No.

Try a third time. B shark's tail? One more, one more. Shark tail. Yes. Okay. You did it. No whistle for you, though.

That was just for fun. But yeah, that's, I guess, you know, that's the thing is the brain doesn't flip soon enough to, Oh, this is an animated thing. Right. So you're just thinking about the craziest shark whale movies you can think of. I'm surprised no one said free Willy. I thought maybe there was a Jabberjaw movie that got by me that I didn't know about. Yeah, that could have been it. I mean, yeah,

I think you really helped everybody saying Jabberjaw that really put it in the, in the right realm, the animated realm. Yeah. But that was terrific. We brought it in on time. You know, I appreciate that because everybody's taking a little time out of their 31st day of October. And I know you're all getting ready for an exciting November.
