Hey, happy new year, Doug. new year hi hey happy new year doug uh let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically as i like to do by first name sorry eliza we first met him in sacramento now he's in Las Vegas Where I will be Actually on March 1st and 2nd But more about that later

It's Carlos Rodriguez There it is Are you pumped Are you pumped Carlos That the big game They like to call, is going to be played in Las Vegas? I kind of, nah, no. You don't need all that extra heat on the town you live in, right? It's going to be crazy next weekend in Las Vegas.

Yeah, it's going to be nuts. And then on top of that too it's two teams i i can't stand i'm a i'm a fan and they're niners and it's the chiefs they're both our rivals and i can't go writers all right uh he is the returning champion from last week's show. It's Corey Ryan Forrester. Hey, Doug. I wanted to let you know that I'm wearing a diaper just for you. Oh, okay.

Our next guest. Why is it just for me? I don't know why I deserve the honor. Well, Doug, because before I came on this podcast with you, I had recorded two other podcasts back to back, and I had a couple beverages, and I was like, I'm not going to ruin Doug's podcast by, A, having to get up to pee, or, B, not concentrating and giving it my best by having to hold in a pee.

not concentrating and giving it my best by having to hold in a pee. So I went and put on a diaper so I could just go for it whenever I wanted to. So that's what's going on. All right. Well, you know, I still have the sad feeling that you'll let us know somehow if you're relieving yourself. So I'll turn my video on so you can see my relief. I don't like it. Are you?

I was just going to ask if you were ready to come down from the high of being a champion. Yes, I'm definitely ready. Listen, it's been a complete folly that I have won as many times as I have. And I'm thoroughly ready to be exposed for how much luck has gone into any of these victories. So can't wait. Y'all prepare to beat the poop out of me. Well, we've got another winner joining us. It's Eliza Skinner. Hey, Eliza.

Hey. How are you? I'm good. It's been a few weeks since you won over at the Improv Lab in Hollywood. Yeah, yeah. Do you think you still have what it takes to win again today? Absolutely not, no. I haven't seen any movies.

I know nothing. I'm a real fool. You're a real foolish blank slate Ready to go And you'll probably just ask politely If you need to use the restroom Oh I'm on the toilet right now Oh no Oh no

Is Carlos the only one that prepared Properly by just not having A lot of water today Oh well it's raining out i don't know i'm yeah it's really choice it's it is raining in the southland so we're getting hit hard right now so this is the perfect time to uh podcast from indoors uh and before we play our games today, it's Recommendation Nation time. And since the Superist of Bowls is almost upon us, it's one week away, and everyone except for Carlos is excited about it. Oh, yeah, man.

I'm all depressed. I'm all depressed. Yeah. I would like each of you this week to please recommend a, you know, and I don't know if your tastes, any of you even like these kinds of movies, but so people can,

you know, maybe watch a movie about football that they haven't seen before. Like it could be old, new classic or obscure but please starting with carlos please recommend a football movie uh football movie i would say to check out you know it's pretty old actually it's called the program and it's con remember that yeah yeah of course i heard of that one that was the movie that was so controversial because you know as like a hazing exercise or something the football players would lay in the middle of the street and then some copycat uh youngsters uh did it and then ended up

getting run down yeah so the movie was in trouble like right away for uh you know encouraging kids to do this weird thing yeah i remember that yeah then the uh the scenes i ended no more they took that scene out oh okay so now it's safe now it's just about your your normal concussions and what not that yeah yeah didn't yell that yeah Didn't yell that. Yeah. But it's a pretty intense movie. You know, James Caan's always an intense actor. So I'm sure it's an interesting watch. Okay. Oh, that's why I know that.

Yeah. Corey, what do you think? Do you have a... I sure do. Listen, I'm probably going to get, I'm probably going to get made fun of for this, but I don't care. I don't think there is ever a bad time to rewatch the water boy. It is a fantastic movie. It is full of ha-has and, you know, a pretty accurate portrayal of how college football goes down, in my opinion. Just full of silliness. And Jerry Reed gives one of the more Oscar-snubbed performances in all of cinema.

Well, Jerry Reed was just, he was a gem in general he was always uh a delight to watch in all those burt reynolds movies unbelievable yeah this one he got away from burt and just uh you know uh got into the uh adam sandler universe i find uh k Kathy Bates to be very entertaining in The Waterboy. Oh, unbelievable. And Jerry Reid, actually, in that movie, one of the greatest quotes, one of the most poignant quotes actually that I still think about to this day

and I think that people could use in their day-to-day life, Jerry Reid says, and I quote, and really think about this because it's deep, he says the only thing better than a crawfish dinner is five crawfish dinners. Think about that. Think about that for a second. It's really true if you think about it, you know?

But you got to think about it. You have to think about it. You have to. But it is true. You have to put your mind to it. Yeah. But wouldn't six dinners be better or is that let's let's not let's not think about it too hard you know what i mean

i mean the only thing like he must have figured out that five is exactly the amount of dinners you'd want to have before you just get sick of it. Or it would be out of season or something. Yeah, it used to be too much crawfish. I thought you were going to, when you say you're going to quote Waterboy, I thought it was going to be at least something that sounds like the person saying it has a mouth full of marbles. No. Farmer Fran. The accents are so funny. We live a pie on our day.

Yeah, there you go. So you know how to do it of course i do all right well eliza where do you where are you on is is the is there even a football movie that you enjoy i mean it just doesn't really feel to me like that would be uh in your wheelhouse but yes of course of course i would pick uh concussion another one uh yeah speaking of accents um uh you but you uh why do you enjoy that film so much okay no i'm i was kidding that was a joke okay i would i would pick a more uplifting one, like Friday Night Lights.

Okay. That's a good one. Yeah, right? Spawned a whole TV show. Same wife, both times. Yeah. Yeah, the wife stayed the same, but pretty much everything else was different. And no Billy Bob in the TV show.

Yeah, you can't get Billy Bob for TV money. Mm-mm. No, not until those High Flute miniseries came along. Then they got his attention. But a regular TV series is just going to struggle. That's not what he's about. Yeah, I mean, yeah. Once you got Fargo, which is basically our new Battle of the Network stars,

it's prestige to be in there with all the other big time guys but anyway yeah uh but friday night lights uh yeah the tv series was always it felt like it was always in danger of being canceled then of course eventually it was but uh um a kind of a gentler version of the movie. The movie's a little bit more intense than the series. But the series, of course, had its moments as well, especially with Jussie Plemmons murdering a guy in season two. Season two was wild.

Boobie made me cry in the movie, big time. It did? Boobie did, yeah. Hey, doug did i tell you that i'm writing a movie i have a screenplay written about it's an airbud style movie about an alien that plays football uh it's called uh c-t-e-t that was bad did you think about recommending that movie i should have i don't like to pump my own work you know right you don't want to get ahead of all the football movies it's just a script at this point yeah right we didn't pick any uh nfl movies they're all college high school football movies that's pretty crazy oh that is interesting i talked about draft day the last podcast we did so i didn't want to do that again i was gonna say rudy but then i figured

you know it's already be it's gonna be played all week i assume leading up to it so or even little giants i like that one that was good that's a good one well the baseball movie kind of kind of person to be fair well you know that's uh you know uh also sports i'm proud of you for not you know i just didn't i i you know just didn't know anytime uh a lady guests on the program there's a good chance she'll say sports fuck off yeah well it depends on if we're pmsing am i right ladies i wish there were more than one lady here so someone could at the very least not in agreement but um yeah these are great i think these are three great suggestions because if anybody's into football, wants to get pumped up for Sunday,

I'm going to watch the Taylor Swift documentary to prepare for Sunday because that's what that day is going to be all about ultimately because she's overshadowing everything, as she should. Thank you for these recommendations. We will be right back. We're back, and we're going to play some games. Game day, as they like to call it, is a week away, but we're going to play some games right now.

The first one today is called Permission Granted. I will name a movie. And this game's not necessarily about consent. I just realized. No, I'll name a movie. It's just a stupid pun. Permission Granted means I'm going to name a movie. It's just a stupid pun. Prohibition granted means I'm going to name a movie and then you tell me if it featured Harry Grant,

Hugh Grant, or Richard E. Grant. Three amazing actors and there's no role too small for any of these dudes except for when Hugh Grant plays an Oompa Loompa. Carlos will be up first. I'll name a movie, and he'll guess between those three names. If he misses, then Corey gets a shot. If Corey misses, Elisa gets the gimme point.

But, of course, whenever somebody gets one right, the next person will go first in the next round. Make sense, Carlos? Yeah. Right on. The first movie, and Carlos is the first one to guess, is

a motion picture called Glass Onion, a Knives Out Mystery. Which one of those actors do you think appeared in that film? Cary Grant, Hugh Grant, or Richard E. Grant? Hugh Grant.

That. Hang on a second. It's correct. I had to grab the whistle that was right next to my unused diapers. I didn't put the whistle. It was right next to my unused diapers. I didn't put them on today. But they are standing by.

Carlos, out of the gate. Figured that one out. Hugh Grant has a small cameo as... The boyfriend. The boyfriend of Benoit Blanc. Benoit Blanc. Yeah, speaking of that accent. It's great. Adam Sandler can be the next

Knives Out movie as a relative of Benoit Blanc. Benoit Blanc. Yeah. As a Southerner, we take no offense to that, I promise. My Southern mom is real mad about it. Oh, really? It's a pest. It's fun. And she's like, well,

it's not what we sound like and i'm like what part of the south is your mom from virginia okay well you know it's funny because i was gonna say i was gonna say oh he's doing like an aristocratic virginia thing who gives a shit but that's uh actually it's more like savannah you know it's more like it's like it's like midnight in the garden of good and evil shit like i i listen i get it but like for to me it's so refreshing for someone to be doing a southern accent in the movie and it's not like hey how y'all doing let's yeah awesome you know exactly it's not like hey yeah it's my grandma's sister yeah so it's just fun yeah i like it she just yeah it's not for everybody some people are seeking out realism in their knives out movies yeah everything else absolutely

believable all right here's ronda the next one and cory gets to go first oh boy carlos already has a point he's on the board this is your chance cory okay uh the motion picture is called which one of those dudes was in alice in wonderland oh well it's not carrie grant can you tell me if it was the old Alice in Wonderland or the I can tell you that it's a motion picture damn it called Alice in Wonderland I really hate you

okay okay well if it's the new, like the 2015 one or something, then I Cary Grant played a voice, but I don't know that he would have done that. Should I split it? Should I split it and say Richard E. Grant? I'm going to split it and say Richard E. Grant because I don't know. Richard E. Grant.

That's incorrect. I figured. Eliza, do you think it's Cary Grant or Hugh Grant that was in A Alice in Wonderland? There have been so many. I'm gonna... I'm gonna go Cary.

Put a different Grant on the board. Cary Grant. That is correct. Son of a butt. You were on to me there. But this is the funny part is you were thinking the animated I was. Alice in Wonderland. But there was a previous live action Alice in Wonderland

in 1933. Well, it's Cary Grant. I assume a very young Cary Grant plays Mock Turtle. What? Well, yeah. Stick a fork in my butt and let me cry about it. Maybe that's why, you know, later in his career, you'd often see him in a Mock Turtle neck. That's true. I never thought, you'd often see him in a mock turtleneck. That's true.

I never thought that was an homage. Yeah. It wasn't just because he had a turkey neck. All right. We're back around to Carlos. And the next film that features Cary Grant, Hugh Grant, or Richard E. Grant is L.A. Story. Okay. L.A. Story.

Which one do you think was in that? Oh, that's Martin Sheen. No, Martin. Yeah, no, not Martin. No. Is that Steve Martin? L.A. Story? Hugh. It has to be Hugh. That was like when he was hot, like in that era. Story? Hugh. It has to be Hugh. That was when he was hot, in that era.

Right? Incorrect. That's sound. Corey? Cary Grant was probably dead, so I'll go Richard E. Grant. You and your logic. It's crazy. That's correct.

You're on the board. We've got... Everybody's got a point. We're playing to three points. Eliza... Yeah, Eliza's next. And the film is The Little

Vampire. What? I'd tell you more about it, but there's no clues. It's just something called The Little Vampire. Well, I feel like a real fool because I love vampire media and I have no idea what this is. Since I have no idea what it is, I'm going to guess it's not hugh grant um it's either some obscure old carrie grant or a weirdo movie that richard e grant did because he loves doing a

weirdo movie and i'm gonna hope it's that so i'm going to pick richard e grant well i loved your logic you really worked it out we heard we heard the math and you're correct richard e grant has their supporting role in the little vampire starring a then hot jonathan lipnicki oh oh boy richard e grant really loves doing a weird movie i can't Oh boy. Richard E. Grant really loves doing a weird movie. I can't fault him. All right. So Eliza got a second point.

We're back to Carlos. Carlos, which one of those gentlemen appears in Garfield A Tale of Two Kitties? It would have to be I say Garfield's probably watching something on television and it's an old-timey movie probably or an old American movie in French

subtitling it, and it would be Cary Grant. That is a very interesting guess by a interesting guesser incorrect though cory wow man well now it's shit oh did it happen is it good thing you have the diaper on hold please you guessed it was it was Cary Grant on

I'm gonna go with I'm gonna say Richard E. Grant is the end Garfield a tale of two kitties yeah why not final answer yeah right it's correct Garfield, A Tale of Two Kitties? Yeah, why not? Final answer?

Yeah. That is correct. Look, be a lady tonight. Yeah, I don't, I'm not, you know, a Garfield completist. Me either. I didn't do that one. I feel like Jennifer Love Hewitt might be in it. Or no. Anyway, it's Bill Murray. I feel like Jennifer Love Hewitt might be in it or no anyway

it's Bill Murray is still the voice of Garfield even after the first one it feels like they had him really locked into a contract or something but congratulations on figuring that one out and Eliza this is for the win

oh Jesus if you know this. Which one was in The Hitman's Bodyguard? What's funny is I did commercials, promos for this movie and have never seen it. It's a blind guess,

gonna take Cary Grant out of the running. We haven't heard from Hugh for a while, so I'm gonna go with Hugh Grant. I always like your logic, but incorrect. It's not Hugh. Carlos? I'm gonna Incorrect. It's not you. Carlos.

I'm going to go with Richard because I haven't used him yet. That is correct. That's my logic. Yeah, he's in there. He's a prolific actor. And that's another one i did i don't even know if he's in uh hit man's bodyguards bodyguard or whatever the hell they called the sequel hit man's bodyguards wife yeah that's it and her lover and her lover and the chef um so yeah so uh we've got a three-way tie, and Corey, you're up next. If you get this right,

you win permission granted, and that means you can do whatever you want for the rest of the day. But if you miss, then Eliza can swoop in and get it. Oh, boy. Which one of them, Richard E. Grant,

Cary Grant, or Hugh Grant, is in Paddington 2? Oh, Richard E. Grant, Cary Grant, or Hugh Grant, is in Paddington 2? Oh, my God. Oh, that's Hugh. That's Hugh. That's definitely Hugh. I'm not in it. I'm not in it.

It's between. That is Hugh. That's Hugh Grant. Hugh Grant is the correct answer. Hell yeah. You did it. Congratulations, Corey. Yeah, Hugh Grant gave perhaps the,

you know, one of his finest performances. Agreed. In Paddington 2. And then that's why he's the Oompa Loompa in the Wonka movie. It's not exactly why, but I'm sure it has a lot to do with it because the same director made Paddington 2 and Wonka. Can I take this?

What's that? Can I take this moment to scoff Doug Loves Movies alum Brandon Collins for being the sole reason that Paddington, too, doesn't have 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and say that he should burn in hell forever. Well, here's the thing. I told you you could do whatever you want. So permission granted. Yeah, you did do exactly what you wanted there. And it's too late to take it back but here's

the thing about raw toon tomatoes is that whenever it's like 99 or whatever people are like who's that one a-hole that didn't like it it was brandon collins but he didn't hate it right he gave it a mixed review and that's what pulled the rating down right but he gave it like two out of five or two two out of no he he gave it rotten he gave it rotten doug yes he gave it rotten yes he came on my podcast putting on airs which comes out wherever you get your podcast and told us that it sucked and And I scorned him. I, you know, I got to say that I'm one of the people that does not understand why people love the Paddington movies so much. I think they're good, and I think they're excellent for children.

But I don't, for me, that's why I haven't seen Wonka yet, because I just, I don't know. It just feels... Yeah, they're for children, which means an adult named brandon collins shouldn't fucking talk shit about him on rotten tomatoes is this person a professional he's a professional asshole is what he is get that gig i mean you're so passionate about pat. You barely remember Hugh Grant is in it. And he's like, I got it right.

By the way, Brandon, if you're listening, I love you very much. But you're a butthead. I think that. Yeah, it's I think Paddington needed to be taken down a slight notch. OK, that's fair. Because 100 percent is not right, because I just don't think that movie is for everybody. I do think it leans more towards children or people who just really like, you know, talking bears, talking little talking bears. Well, consider me those people. Yeah, there you go.

Congratulations, Corey. You're not only one, you got a plug in for your podcast early. It's all coming together for you and we're gonna find out how you do in our next and final game the big the big one we're gonna find out right after the break we'll be right back we are back and uh how are you holding up cory you could have ran to the restroom then oh i'm totally fine doug well i'm glad you stuck around for the uh the advertisements because i figure you're probably in the market for some blue chew oh yeah we also promote that on our podcast. But it should be like a combination, you know, sexual stimulant. But also it should just be like they should really step into the chew aspect of it and make it a chewing tobacco.

I agree. You could just have it just in between your cheek and gum, ready to go. That would be good for the people who sound like me. All right. You won the last game, Corey, but as you know, that doesn't mean a whole lot. It just means you get to go first in our final, our next game. And, of course, i had to do this this game is called the benson bowl one week out as i said earlier so we're going to play a game in which it's up to you to guess which films from the list from the history of cinema according to good old entertainment weekly magazine is it still a magazine or is it just an online thing

uh these are the 10 20 let's go 20 20 best football movies of all time according to entertainment weekly so cory will guess first and then we switch the order around so cory's gonna go first then carlos and then eliza and we're gonna do three rounds of guesses if you guess a football movie that's number one you'd get 20 points for that if you guess the one that's number 20 you get one point and then there's all those points in between and of course no points if you name a football movie because there's a lot of them in the history of cinema but only 20 of them made this list. Three rounds.

Whoever has the most points will be the winner. Corey, are you ready? I sure am ready. I bet your mind is racing because you know a lot of movies that have football in them. I sure am ready. I bet your mind is racing because you know a lot of movies that have football in them.

I sure do. I'm just trying to think which ones are considered the best according to Entertainment Weekly. What's your first guess? You're going to get three cracks at it, but you got to wait your turn after you give us your first guess you're gonna get three cracks at it but you gotta wait your turn after you give us your first guess i'm i'm really trying to think what's not my favorite but what is something a pedantic website magazine would think is i'm gonna go i'm gonna say before you say anything let me just make it a little easier for you. Neither of the Paddington films made this list. Okay, god damn it. Yeah, because they call it football.

They're not soccer. That's unfortunate. I'm going to go with Rudy. They think Rudy's number one. I mean, it already came up in conversation earlier today, and so I personally would have been surprised to not see Rudy on the list. I mean, it already came up in conversation earlier today. And so I personally would have been surprised to not see Rudy on the list. But what surprises me about it is that it's number two on the list.

Oh, do I get points for that? You sure do. You get 19 points right out of the gate. You've got, you know, 20s the most you can get in any one round and you got 19 so congratulations for knowing about rudy i still question why everybody thinks it's such a great football movie because it celebrates it celebrates uh mediocre and mediocre yes couldn't agree more. So maybe everybody's just a real fantasy football situation that people just go, wow, if only I could be a kid that plays in one play and gets carted around

on everybody's shoulders like he did something good. And Vince Vaughn is there along with Jon Favreau. All right. I don't know if that's where they met, but probably. Yeah. Carlos, it's your turn. Name any football movie and hope

that it's on the list. The higher, the better, I like to say. Super old school. It's the movie they based on. I think it was like the Dallas Cowboys or some shit like that. It was like

North 40 Dallas or North something Dallas. Is that close? I prefer answers where you know the name of the movie, but I will tell you that you're super close on that one. North is...

Is North like 40... Is it 44? It's something like 70... I think you don't know the name of this movie. No, it's old. It's hella old. Yeah, it's Nick Nolte Mac Davis

yeah I think it was probably based on a book it was popular but can you think of another football movie if you can't come up with the right exact title for that one okay another football movie another one

the Marky Mark movie Invincible what's that called Invincible right that's Invincible Okay, another movie. Another one. The Marky Mark movie. Invincible. What's that called? Invincible, right? That's Invincible. Invincible with Marky Mark. His character name is Vince. Yeah.

That's why the movie's called Invincible, because he's easy to get inside of. Bull. And it is on the list. Congratulations, carlos it's number 16 on the top 20 football movies according to edub and that's worth five points you are on the board still anybody's game eliza what have you got what have you been thinking you've been listening um well i mean i know so many right it's hard to choose yeah so i'm i'm gonna double back and say friday night lights good answer i don't think it's a terrible answer at all no that's what i was gonna say next yeah cory was ready to swipe that one up but thank

God you got to it first Eliza it is number four on the list and it's worth a whopping 17 points now you're only two points behind Corey thanks to good old Friday night

lights I thought it was about this is a real Rudy situation for me I thought it was about... This is a real Rudy situation for me. I thought it was about kids who were scared of the dark on Fridays. You know, like latchkey kids, the parents stay out late. When did you realize that it wasn't? Were you already in the movie theater? They need nightlights. Okay.

Corey. Your turn once again. Do not make a mistake here because you've got to maintain your lead. Let's go with a movie that it's funny. I don't know if a lot of people even it is a football movie, but it's more a love movie. Oh, a love movie. Yeah, it's more a love movie. Oh, a love movie. Yeah, it's more a love movie. It actually spawned one of the greatest country songs of the 90s,

You Had Me From Hello by Kenny Chesney. He wrote that song after seeing this movie and then ended up marrying Renee Zellweger, ironically. And that is the movie based on i believe it's drew rosenhouse the nfl shark agent that is jerry mcguire okay first of all is moving forward i don't need so much information about the film hey don't you love movies motherfucker i thought you loved them i do it was also crafted by what you were talking about but i didn't know i swear to you because i'm not you know obviously maybe not obviously but i'm not a country western music fan per se

so i didn't it wasn't even i was just learning just now that there's a song called you had me hello yeah yeah kenny chestney wrote it in the 90s that seems like some top tier stalker shit to get together yeah like he wrote that song because he had a crush on her right like he just he just liked the line he just liked the line you know he just likes when a move when a screenwriter gives him a great line for a song yeah he doesn't have to do dick yeah exactly and then they ended up getting divorced and the rumor was is that it was irreconcilable differences and in the country music uh business the uh rumor was like that kenny chestney's gay i don't know if i believe that but you know whatever is that the rumor about every popular

country artist? Of course it is. Of course it is. You know what you like something? What if it's gay? What if it's gay? They say that Travis Kelsey is gay for dating Taylor Swift because that's gay. That one's amazing.

That's a really wild stretch. Yeah. He must be gay if he's dating that i don't know if enough people like even think about jerry like again i know it's a football movie but it's more about the the innards of football you know well that's why i think that it did so well in this particular list because it kind of, you know, it's the, it's the football movie that everybody can go,

Oh, I, at least I like one football movie. Cause as you say, you know, there's football in it, but not, not much, not much football.

It's mostly about being shown the money of football, correct? Yeah. It's about being shown the money. And it's about, you know, corporate America and all that, all And it's about, you know, corporate America and all that jazz.

So, you know, it's kind of an office comedy at the beginning. So, it is number one on the list. Get the fuck out of here. Nice. Yeah, that's what happens when you put Jonathan McNichie in your football movie.

Not in your vampire movies. I think subconsciously, that's why I thought about it. Because earlier you had said, back when a hot Jonathan Lipnicki. I swear to God, that's why I thought about it. I swear he got little vampire off the heat of Jerry McClark. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh, my God. That made that kid huge.

Okay, so Corey is really killing it. We need for Carlos and Eliza to really put some points on the board here. We've had a little time to think about it, Carlos. Have you thought of another film that has football in it? Yeah. So this one sparked the song from Big Daddy Kane. And the craft services that was at this movie was also inspired by. No, I got to do a little strategic moves.

So I'm going to say a movie that might be on there twice because it has been remade and it's The Longest Yard. There you go. Al Ruddy produced. OK, hang on a second. I know you love Al Ruddy, Corey, but you don't have to bring him up every time. There's a trick to this one, and you stepped right into it, Carlos. You pointed out that the film was made twice. So now you have to tell me which one you think is on the list.

Is it the one from 1974 or 2005? This is just Carlos. Just to answer that question. I'm saying there's two of them. I'm not telling you where either of them landed, either on the list or off of it. Even if they're both on, they'll have a different point value. Yes.

I was trying to get all the points. I was trying to get double points on one go. Oh, that is fun. I wish I devised it that way But unfortunately you have to pick Which one of the two I'm going to go old school Burt Reynolds I'm going to go old school Burt Reynolds That's my boy

You're going Burt Reynolds 1974 Longest yard That is Number 8 on the list. Nice. There you go. Congratulations. That's some big points there.

That's 13 points. It's getting you in range. Eliza's already got 17 points. So if you, Eliza, could pick another one that's up there you could really give cory a run for his money you could show him his money and then run with it okay um what were the ones that people said at the beginning oh earlier in the show hey i can't help you that way. I do. Waterboy. Hey, damn you. That's what's cracking me up.

Is that Cory hasn't gone for Waterboy? Well, I was trying to win. I know there's a lot of football movies with days of the week in them, but I'm going to count on this Waterboy choice instead. Waterboy. I like it. It's number 14 on the list. Really?

And it's worth, yes, Waterboy gets seven more points for Eliza Skinner. Oh, boy. Anybody who wins this thing, Corey, you've got to cement your lead here by coming up with a good one. Okay, let's go with the first football. One of my favorites and the first one that I ever whooped it to on VHS, Varsity Blues. Oh, nice.

You spanked yourself? Yeah, because of the hot for teacher uh scene uh we had it on v you know we had it on vhs my buddy uh jared his older brother he was just a couple years older than us but he was in high school so he had all the cool stuff you know and uh he had this vhs and he's like yo there's a scene where the teacher, you know, they find out she's a stripper. And buddy, we wore that some bitch out. I give it a 10. I give it a 10. A fucking 10.

Yeah. And I ended up, God rest that dude's soul. I ended up taking acting lessons from him a couple of times. And yeah, I'll go with Varsity Blues. A wonderful acting turn there from John Voight and James Van Der Beek and all those guys. Varsity Blues. It's an intense movie.

It's great. It's almost like Friday Night Lights in the way that it kind of highlights the danger and the obnoxiousness of your typical football players. Best line in the movie, she looks like she fell off the i want to suck your dick tree and hit every branch on the way down oh man that's just you know that is just take it's bad enough to say she fell out of the pretty tree but then to add that extra disgusting element. Dude, come on. It's great. It's great. I like when he's like, I don't want your laugh.

I don't want your... Yeah, dude. The Texas accents in there are insane. It's brutal. But it's a great movie if you enjoy whipped cream, right? Isn't that the end of the scene? Bikini?

Yep. A movie's got it all. It's got something for everybody. Sure does. Does it? Especially jokes. We probably should let the woman talk right now. Does it?

Okay. Well, Paul Walker was there. He was in it. It doesn't. I was being sarcastic. Okay, Carlos, what do you think uh could possibly wait did did did was that on the list you didn't say oh i apologize because uh i i don't want you to get any more points so i'm not gonna tell you no it's number 10 on the list of the greatest football movies uh and so it was worth 11 points which uh you know

brings you to a pretty staggering number i'm not gonna call it right now but i feel like it's looking pretty good number at this point it's right it's it's really close to unbeatable mathematically okay yeah mathematically and also just ethically. But no one else deserves to win. But Carlos, let's get some more points on the board just for the hell of it. What do you think for your third guess? All right. I have, okay, I'm mulling over the replacements right now. And Little Giants and the, I got little giants and the i gotta remember the dallas

the north north dallas 40 is that what it is yes it's called north dallas 40 okay okay i'm gonna go old school i'm gonna go with that one then yeah yeah now that i got it now that i got it right yeah now that you finally got it i'm glad that we made the effort because it didn't make the list at all that was the other one I had written down. When Carlos was stumbling through it, I was like, well, if he gets it right, he's still not going to get any points. But I'm glad you figured it out

just for your own mental health. I think it was like number... Because it's a really long list. I think they go five or ten more than 20. So I think it was like number like it's because it's a really long list. I think they go five or 10 more than 20. So I think it was acknowledged. So it was a decent pick, but just not in the top 20. Eliza, what do you think for your final guess? I think, you know, we're getting down to the dregs of the football movies I know.

And I feel like 10 years ago, The Blindside would have been on this list. Oh, good choice. But I've been, I don't, I'm not sure it would be now. So I'm going to go back to my original choice on the show, Concussion. There we go. show concussion there we go yeah i i'm so proud of you because no you you you uh eliminated blindside accurately this list was written by the way uh last uh fall or winter so uh you you know probably when football season was getting started and um uh so blindside, of course, has been blindsided by reality. And finding out that that family was not exactly what was planned.

Yeah, the guy's in like a conservatorship or something, right? Yes. No, it was really not a good situation. Following up the Free Britney with we don't like Blindside anymore movement. Yeah. movement yeah so uh and then also just it's so funny to me how well a movie about concussions and how dangerous football is is even on this list at all because it's not celebrating football in any way uh but not only is it on the list it is number three oh oh nice i gotta watch that when eliza said it earlier in the show because i was like oh man

i didn't think anyone would even think of this movie i mean i worked for totally biased this is where i come into the room oh did you really that shit oh dude i love your work oh thank you i really do that's awesome i'm not worthy of being here with you. Oh, you definitely are. No. Yeah, Corey. You're winning this game. Yeah, but you won the game, but Eliza brought it close with merely eight points behind you. So that's very impressive play.

Woke logic I got. Yeah, exactly. Hey, for real, though, I love what y'all do that is so awesome i mean it hasn't been on for for like a decade well no i know that but like i just i was a big i was a big fan like that you know y'all recorded it so oh well thank you did you like when i was on doing movie reviews yeah i'm sorry doug i got, you remember that Hugh Grant was in it too. Yes. All right.

So I just peed on myself, Doug. I forgot where I was. Everybody wants to know what movies you missed. What is on this Philly list? So let me break it down for you uh number 20 everybody forgot about remember the titans oh yeah but it's only worth one point so why mess with it uh number 19 uh is carlos that's carlos's jam because it's the other, it's the Adam Sandler longest yard is number 19 on the list. Adam Sandler was in that too.

That guy must like football. Yeah, he's done at least two football movies, and he tends to play characters who are athletes a lot, like Happy Gilmore. What did he play? Some people will say golfers aren't athletes, but in Happy gilmore he was he was a hockey player too oh okay yeah yeah okay uh so number 18 is the most depressing

uh football movie made of all time what's that called glory what song it has to be i apologize it's the second most depressing um football movie ever made Let me put it this way. It's depressing at the beginning, whereas Brian's song is depressing at the end. It's a movie called We Are Marshall. Oh, We Are Marshall. Oh, no, that was a happy movie. If you don't like Marshall. Oh, that's horrible. And if you like plane crashes.

Yeah, right. Yeah. and if you like plane crashes yeah yeah uh and then number 17 and you know i allowed it because uh you know i just went with whatever they said but they went off off the rails here because brian's song is in fact a tv movie right so i really don't like to include those but it is also a classic. So it was number 17. And then Invincible was 16. 15, Ice Cube in The Long Shots. Oh, man. The Long Shots. Oh, okay.

Directed by Fred Durst. What? No shit. Dude, you know what, man? The Limp Bizkit guy made a movie and people like it. Yeah, he actually did a couple of those i feel like i remember a couple years ago he had like an indie darling or something that i mean if he's directing why not hire him he must come cheap yeah no he does everything for the nookie

what he does everything for the nookie yeah yeah the craft service table is just a bunch of cookies and biscuits. You don't want to see what he does with them. Hot dog water. Number 14 was Waterboy. And number 13 was a movie that is often described as schmaltzy. I don't remember it very well,

but it was called The Express. I don't remember. I think it was Dennis Quaid was in that, I think. I don't remember. Number 12, Corey, you mentioned it earlier in the show and then didn't bring it back. Draft Day. My buddy W. Earl Brown.

It's a good movie. It is a good movie. Number 11, I think somebody needs to apologize for because it is that movie that debuted on Apple TV starring Justin Timberlake called Palmer. Yeah, I've seen that. It keeps coming up in my feed and I'm like, it looks like it looks like a rip off of We Are Marshall because he's just wearing the same color. So I didn't know it was. I don't know. Yeah, I think I saw it, but I obviously unmemorable. And then number nine is school ties. What?

No idea. I didn't even know football was what they played. I just picture a locker room and anti-Semitism. Yeah, me too. I don't even remember locker room stuff. Yeah. Well, maybe you're thinking of family ties. Oh, yes.

No. Number seven. You mentioned days of the week, Eliza. Number seven is Any Given Sunday. I love that movie, but critics shit on it. It's not good i'm gonna spend the longest sunday and no it's not good but it's fun because pacino's full pacino being a fucking lunatic it's all really ramped up like the the hits out on the football field are really loud and yeah it's like yeah it's very bombastic and uh than fantastic. And then number six is, I'd say it might be my favorite movie on the list.

Warren Beatty plays a football player who dies in Heaven Can Wait. Never seen it. From the 70s. You should check it out sometime. It's really good. You're going to watch it tonight, Doug, because I respect you. Oh, awesome. He co-directed

it with elaine may and uh yeah and um stress dreams about this buck henry was in there what he co-directed with buck henry and co-wrote with elaine may or or you know something some combination like that and uh we got lots of oscar uh love and uh it's really good it's basically it's a remake of here comes Mr. Jordan and the premises, you know, a guy gets, goes to heaven and they go,

oops, we fucked up and, you know, brought the wrong, we killed the wrong guy. And he's like, well, okay,

put me back. And they're like, oh, your butt, you know, it's too late to put you in your, you know, the body's dead or whatever.

He can't put you back. We can put you back into another body. So he takes over some other guy's body. I love that. diane cannon and uh yeah it's really it's got a stacked cast julie christie and um it's really good okay this is a trip so it's like it's just a movie that it's just basically like movies that have football in them a little bit because oh no no. You might as well say Sleepers. The guy basically gets put in the body of a rich dude,

and then this rich dude seems crazy because he buys a football team and insists on being the quarterback. Oh, okay. Nobody's ever heard of the guy before, you know? So it's really – I've got to check that out. It's very entertaining. And he was murdered by his wife, I should mention. So then when the other guy comes back to lie, it's crazy. Okay. entertaining um and he was murdered he was murdered by his wife i should mention so then

when the other guy comes back to lie it's crazy okay so uh the number five is a movie i've never heard of and uh it was made for television again for for the tnt network and it's called monday night mayhem no idea Yeah. Another day of the week. Yeah. But, you know, somebody guessed it. It would have been worse than points. But as it turns out, Corey remains triumphant once again. And that means, Corey, you get to do your plugs first.

I know we all kind of hate it, but they might have something in common with you. Know the people around you. I know it's early in the year, but that's the most altruistic plug I've heard so far.
