Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds with 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, just Doug loves movies. Hey everybody, I love movies. And here we are once again at the UCB Theater in Los Angeles right before Comedy Death Ray. Don't forget to go to a special thing dot com. Am I reading this naturally? Does this sound like a regular person talking?
Starting point is 00:00:40 Don't forget to go to a special thing dot com to find the I love movies thread where people comment about all things I Love Movies. And you can weigh in on who should be the other guest when John Lithgow finally appears on the show. So that's spoiler alert. He's not on this one. But I do have two very exciting guests. But let me just say first, before I bring them out here, that the last epi of the show had a very exciting Leonard Maltin game about the Winter Olympics and movies that take place at the Winter Olympics. And as I'm now finding out, whenever I say something wrong, like I didn't know what picaresque meant on one episode, Like I didn't know what picaresque meant on one episode,
Starting point is 00:01:26 and now I get messages all the time on Twitter and MySpace saying that I'm not right about what picaresque means. And I'm still not totally clear what it means. It's like roguelike or something like that. But anyway, let's forget about that, and let's bury this hatchet immediately that Brianimator, Brianimator, Brianimator. I don't know how to say this guy's name out loud, but I wrote it down. Brianimator, that's right. Brianimator from Twitter pointed out that I forgot Downhill Racer from 1969
Starting point is 00:02:06 during the Winter Olympics movies segment on the last show. And I just want to say, good catch, Bryanimator. You win nothing. That is your prize for telling me that. But you got mentioned, even though I don't know how to pronounce Bryanimator very well. I mispronounced it many times So Fuck off
Starting point is 00:02:28 Alright here we go My guests tonight are two hilarious comedians That I've been pals with for a while That's what I came up with That's the theme of tonight's show Is they're comedians and they're friends of mine Which is the theme pretty much every week If you're paying attention But this week is extra special because uh neither one of these two have been
Starting point is 00:02:50 on the show before and i enjoy them both so please welcome david feldman and craig robinson everybody david feldman is the um the white one and craig Craig Robinson is the non-white gentleman. And you can take those out and hold them if you prefer, or you can just go right up to the crazy weird tiny mic stands. That was a great opening. Do you like that? It was very picaresque. Oh, Jesus.
Starting point is 00:03:23 Don't start with me on it. Do you just know what that word means, picaresque? I think picaresque is like Don Quixote, where it's like a series of vignettes along the way where you're going after the MacGuffin. Am I correct? I think so. I think you're sort of right. It's just a word no one should use or talk about because no one really knows. It's like nonplussed.
Starting point is 00:03:47 No one knows exactly what that is. They just know they are that when this conversation started. So let's see here. First of all, David Feldman has a podcast as well, so I wanted to bring that up. What's it called? It's David Feldman Comedy. That sounded like so little confidence
Starting point is 00:04:08 in your podcast. It's called David! It's David Feldman! You were like Bobby Brady or one of those Bradys. Which one? Peter with the cracking voice. And you do that though.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Your voice cracks a lot when you get animated. I have one. Excited. Yes. Picaresque. It's the David Feldman Comedy Podcast and Eddie Pepitone and Jim Earl are on it, and hopefully a man named Doug Benson is going to come on.
Starting point is 00:04:32 I'm going to try to appear on that podcast. Now, Craig Robinson feels slighted, I should say. Here's the idea for the podcast, Craig. We do a parody of Super Jaime, but he's me, David Feldman. Super Jaime, as in the pejorative term for Jews. For three days. I haven't heard that one before. So it'd be Super Jaime
Starting point is 00:04:54 and you have to be me for three days. Oh, three days. Okay, when you pitched it to me, you were like 30 and I was like, forget it. But if it's only three days, I could be you for three days. Right, even I don't want to be you. How's the wife looking these days? Pretty hot. Nice.
Starting point is 00:05:08 Do you guys still have that game? Not game, but do you and your wife get to have sex with a particular celebrity, like a free pass? Yes, we do. How does that work exactly? If we meet the person of our dreams, we can have sex with them. So she picked Kevin Costner. I picked Cindy Crawford. And then about ten years ago, we can have sex with him. So she picked Kevin Costner. I picked Cindy Crawford. And then about ten years ago, we updated the list.
Starting point is 00:05:33 She picked Vin Diesel, and I picked our babysitter. Boom. And we had some picaresque sex, which was very good. Craig Robinson is here. Daryl from The Office, of course. Everybody knows that. Also, in every comedy endeavor produced in the last two or three years, you've played a part in it.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Even if you're not physically in it, your presence is there. People are going, wow, this would be funny if Craig were here. And you've got a new one coming out. I'm so excited about it. I want you to say the title because I love when you say it. Hot Tub Time Machine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Now, I've heard good things about Hot Tub Time Machine, and I hope it's not the new Snakes on a Plane where it's the best title, worst movie situation, because it seems like just you and a hot tub time machine, what could be wrong about that? Exactly. It's a fun ride, and it's a lot of fun. Is it in 3D?
Starting point is 00:06:45 No. It's this year of fun. Is it in 3D? No. It's this year's Avatar is what it is. Can I watch it twice in the same amount of time it would take me to watch Avatar once? Yeah. Then I'm in. Yeah, yeah. It's 90 minutes. The hot tub.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I'm in it. Come on. Let's go. Let's do this. Can I just say? Yes, you can um i was listening to dave film and talk about you know the list that he and his wife has and it's like automatically assuming that that celebrity wants to bang you have you ever heard of roofies
Starting point is 00:07:23 that's how we do my wife and i do it's a soul food restaurant bang you. Have you ever heard of roofies? That's how we do it. My wife and I do it. It's a soul food restaurant. That would be so awesome if your wife roofied Kevin Costner and sat on his flaccid dick for a while while touching herself
Starting point is 00:07:44 and watching Bull Durham. So Hot Tub Time Machine, how many Oscars, let's predict, one year out, next year, how many Oscars is it going to be nominated for?
Starting point is 00:07:56 I'm going to say seven. Seven. Right, that's good. That's humble. That's a good answer. Between directing and the writing and the photography And the photography
Starting point is 00:08:05 And the editing And they'll invent a best ensemble In a hot tub category Exactly Because everybody's going to make hot tub movies this year now I heard Precious is doing a hot tub movie I love when people groan Like what
Starting point is 00:08:21 She's a fictitious character by the way She can't make a bathtub movie precious wasn't real it was kind of real it was based on a book based on real by novel yeah based on a novel by push yeah sapphire based on novel push have you tried that sapphire push novel by sapphire they recommend it on OPA. Based on a novel pushed by Sapphire. Yeah. The girl was in, she wasn't real in the book? Oh, I don't think it's
Starting point is 00:08:52 I think the book was fiction too if I'm not mistaken. Did you see the movie? I always get confused by fiction, non-fiction. That expression non-fiction it's like why don't you just say fucking real. Why don't you say this is real This book is real, this book is fiction Why is it fiction and non-fiction
Starting point is 00:09:09 Next topic Hey did you see Precious I did It was tough to get through It's gut wrenching What Maria Carey without any makeup on Would that have been funny If I pronounced it properly
Starting point is 00:09:24 If you just said Maria. Mariah Carey. Hey, black man, how do you say Maria Carey? Mariah. Oh, shit. Yeah, that would have been great if you had gotten that. Almost good. But you were there.
Starting point is 00:09:41 You were there with a nice movie quip, and I appreciate that. I appreciate that you came to play. But here's the thing, is that you're going to succeed this upcoming weekend. We're taping this the weekend before the Oscars of 2010. And you are one of the writers for Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, which is awesome in and of itself. But what can you tell us about it? Well, if you're writing
Starting point is 00:10:08 on the Oscars, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement, and you can't expose anything about the show. So I would like to share with you information, but I can't. I will tell you this. A single man wins best picture. But other than that...
Starting point is 00:10:24 Was that your favorite movie of last year? Did you relate to that movie? Yes. Really? Sure. A closeted gay English professor. Oh, oh, oh. I thought you said a serious man. No, that's... I can't relate to that.
Starting point is 00:10:39 When have I never been funny? Bam! Sorry. Taking on the Coen brothers. David Feldman doesn't give a shit, everybody. So I really can't tell you anything about Sunday's Oscars
Starting point is 00:10:54 other than Jamie Foxx wins Best Actor. For? Ray. It was that good. They bring him back out again. They're like, Jeff Bridges was that good. They bring him back out again. They're like, Jeff Bridges was this close. But when it comes to playing
Starting point is 00:11:11 a, although he was fictitious though, Bad Blake. The Jeff Bridges character, correct? From the Push novel? Crazy Heart. Crazy a novel by Heart. Yeah, he was.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Thank you. He was non-real. Let me ask you a question. Am I real? Do you think I'm real? You are as real as you believe yourself to be. That's the question. So then he's not very real then because he had to ask.
Starting point is 00:11:45 How'd you get the gig on the Oscars? That's awesome. How many fingers am I holding up? Is that the answer? Oh. I, uh... Takes three fingers to get into the Oscars. Yeah, how'd you get that gig?
Starting point is 00:12:08 I failed as a comedian Oh, okay So when you fail as a comedian, you write for others Right, because you don't have to pronounce Mariah Carey When you're writing it down And handing it to someone else to say That is perfect You found the perfect way To overcome your affliction
Starting point is 00:12:21 And make some money Can you give us any kind of insight into... I know you can't give anything away, but is it going to be funny? Can you say that? It's going to be the greatest Oscars ever. Are they rehearsing a lot? Yes. That's cool.
Starting point is 00:12:41 How much time does Alec Baldwin spend on his phone yelling at his child? Yes. That's cool. How much time does Alec Baldwin spend on his phone yelling at his child? In like a typical eight-hour day, like 20 minutes, three hours? I can't say. Other than Lawrence Olivier comes back from the dead for Hamlet. He wins for Hamlet.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Wait a second. So what happens if Peter O'Toole wins for Hamlet, a wins for Hamlet. Wait a second. Wait a second. If Peter O'Toole wins for Hamlet, a role that he never played, after crawling up out of the... What did you say? After crawling up out of the grave. Oh, that's so funny.
Starting point is 00:13:16 He said, Lawrence Olivier. I thought he said Lawrence of Arabia. So, my bad. I did say Lawrence. I did. You did say Lawrence of Arabia. I did say Lawrence I did you did say Lawrence
Starting point is 00:13:25 I did say Lawrence oh okay Mariah Carey was two hours late for her concert last night Nick Cannon knows some tantric shit
Starting point is 00:13:40 right right hey what tantric is a very real wonderful thing. I wasn't making fun of it. I'm just jealous. I'm jealous of tantric.
Starting point is 00:13:52 I wasn't picking up that you're making fun. Are you tantric? I guess the way I did. Where do you have time in your busy schedule of making all the comedies to have tantric sex? I didn't know it was tantric. It snuck up on me. It was like all these
Starting point is 00:14:09 and it was like all these little like only way I can describe it was like orgasm bombs going off. My body's like pew
Starting point is 00:14:17 pew you know it was tantric. Are you sure you know what the word tantric means? It doesn't mean an orgasm. It means soup. Soup?
Starting point is 00:14:31 Yes. All right. Or what's the other word for tantric? There's another word for tantric? Not tantric, but you know. A different word. The squeeze technique. It was different.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Google exercises. It was multiple. It was different. It was multiple. It was something else. Yes, if you've just had a baby, it's always good to put some Kugel inside of you. Just rub some Kugel on it. And then go watch some soaps. Sound like something you make with a mixture of grits and waffles. Like Kugel.
Starting point is 00:15:08 It could be a dish. Roscoe's Kugel Shack? Actually, they serve it at Roofies. Roscoe's Kugel Shack. You don't want the syrup. It's kind of messy. I've never seen
Starting point is 00:15:24 an I Love Movies audience that's waiting for Comedy Death Ray that's been so disgusted by the by the conversation so let's move on to current movies if you've seen any in your busy schedules of podcasting
Starting point is 00:15:41 and hot tubbing Shutter Island you saw that one of the greatest movies ever made of podcasting and hot tubbing. Shutter Island. You saw that. Shutter Island. Saw it over the weekend. One of the greatest movies ever made. And I don't know why it's getting like a C plus on Rotten Tomatoes.
Starting point is 00:15:53 I don't know if anybody's seen it. I cannot recommend this movie enough. It is pure art. And so... It is. I'm not being sarcastic. Well, I think that's the problem with you and your voice.
Starting point is 00:16:05 I know. Like, you were forced into comedy because you always sound like you're fucking with people. I know. I know. It's the greatest movie that I've ever seen. No, I mean it. Sincerely. That's what you sound like. That is what you did.
Starting point is 00:16:21 I know. I apologize. But I really... So you really dug Shutter Island. I thought Shutter Island was the greatest movie since... A review I read today said that it starts off very strong, gets a little muddled, and then has a great ending. So would you agree with any of those things?
Starting point is 00:16:45 Here's the thing about Martin Scorsese, or I call him Marty. I don't know him. But I walked out of Casino. I walked out of Goodfellas thinking, you know, I'm not so sure about this. And then it comes on the TV and it just me, and I'm stuck inside that movie forever. I mean, his movie-making is so complicated and so state-of-the-art that you can't even pass judgment on it. You just have to let it wash over you and watch it a million times and see the genius there. I think it's just tremendous, tremendous.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Well, now I'm back in. It's just tremendous, tremendous. Well, now I'm back in. I was kind of losing interest in going to see it because I thought it was just going to be two hours of somebody off camera throwing a rat at Leonardo DiCaprio. But now you make it sound much more compelling than that. So I thank you, or I am mad at you, depending on how it turns out. Because it is a long-ass movie.
Starting point is 00:17:47 What's with the long-ass-edness of movies these days? Why can't every movie be hot tub time machine length? I heard that Leonardo DiCaprio, and you've seen the movie, so you can back me up on it. Wait, did you walk out during any period of the movie to use the bathroom or something? Are you saying because I'm old and my prostate's swollen? No, you might have to use the bathroom. But did you you saying because I'm old and my prostate's swollen? No, you might have to use the bathroom, but like, get popcorn or anything like that,
Starting point is 00:18:08 you've watched it reel to reel. Did you get an emergency corn run in the middle? I, except for the... The previews. I watched it all the way through. Did you see a preview of Hot Tub Time Machine? No, I haven't, but I do think that that,
Starting point is 00:18:23 in terms of slug lines, as they say in the business, that is the greatest idea for a movie ever. And I know it's going to be tremendous. It's going to be huge. Thank you. Almost, but then again, Michael Douglas is playing Liberace. In what?
Starting point is 00:18:39 He's doing the Liberace story. Oh, okay. I was hoping you'd say Wall Street 2. the Liberace story. Oh, okay. I was hoping you'd say Wall Street 2. Another man's seed is good. Oh, this is... Watermelon seed is good. It's Michael Douglas as Liberace
Starting point is 00:18:59 in Wall Street 2. Wow. You put all that together so quickly it didn't make any sense to me. It's Liberace Gordon Gekko. Yeah, yeah. Watermelon Seed is good. It says Shutter Island. There's a scene where Leo
Starting point is 00:19:14 Leonardo. What's it called again? Shutter Island. People in the know refer to Leonardo DiCaprio as Marty. So there's a scene where Leo Marty walks for like a minute. What's up with that? What's going on there?
Starting point is 00:19:37 Where's he going? Why is it a minute? I think the movie's so long, he's going to the restroom. He's got to pee. Well done. Not funny, but well restroom. He's got to pee. Well done. Not funny, but well done. I do tantric comedy. When I finally get a laugh, it's explosive.
Starting point is 00:19:54 But it takes forever. Yeah. And a lot of times you think about maybe giving up on it. Is this worth the wait? Let's see. We should do a movie called Stutter Island. It
Starting point is 00:20:13 writes itself. What have you seen? What have you seen lately, Craig Robinson? Have you been to the movies or seen it on a plane? I saw Twilight. I don't know which is weirder, that you said that or that someone in the audience just went, yes. Finally, the conversation turns to Twilight
Starting point is 00:20:44 and what three dudes think about it i saw the second twilight and i saw it in chicago uh over christmas and and there were people was that you that said he's about to turn into a wolf No. Look out, girl. He got his shirt off. It's wolf changing time. And that's another thing. These kids will run around with their shirts off and nobody questioned that ever.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Yeah. Why is there a pack of kids with no shirts on? I bet you they're the ones that are turning into werewolves because we never find shirts at the scenes of the crime. Always jogging around the city. It was quite weird. And then here's the other problem I have with the movie, okay? Yeah, let's break it down. Let's tear this thing apart.
Starting point is 00:21:42 So the Dracula dude, he could always, like he broke up with her for no reason. Bam, because he was like, I'm with you. I was like, gotta go. And then she found out that whenever she almost got herself in trouble, he would appear. Right. So he kept appearing, you know, not physically, but you just see like his head. Yeah. Whenever she was doing something bad, he would show up. So she started doing things for his attention.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Don't do that. You know, and then she on a bike you're gonna hurt yourself you know so every time he would keep appearing right so then one day he's in brazil and because he finds out he hears uh like she's dead or something so he calls to make sure instead of appearing. Spoiler alert. And the werewolf kid was in there with no shirt on. He has the phone. First of all, okay. Yeah, right? It's his nemesis.
Starting point is 00:22:35 I guess the dude said, hello, what's her name? Bella there? Is Bella there? And then the dude was like no he has a funeral to attend so that's what made him believe that bella was dead even though he was just appearing to her every couple of seconds hey yeah he knew everything she was doing but he makes a phone call to find out if she's alive or not yeah and then it gets didn't even question Who's answering the phone
Starting point is 00:23:05 He just Yeah Took the dude's word for it He like He should have said Before hanging up Hey just one more quick question Are you a liar?
Starting point is 00:23:15 So he gonna go kill himself In the sunlight And that's Twilight New Moon In under three minutes Hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you I like to do a thing where I have, Leonard Maltin was a guest on the show And he wrote a book
Starting point is 00:23:41 Where he names movies The 151 best movies you've never seen. And he's got enough cinema knowledge that he's got these great movies that nobody's ever seen. So I'd like to just turn to a movie. That's in my all-time top 200 books that I've never read. How many people have done that joke? That it's in the top 200 books they've never read? Yeah. Just you? How many did the done that joke? That it's in the top 200 books they've never read? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Just you. How many did the super Jaime joke? That one's been done a lot. Yeah, I've done some. Everyone says that to me. They think it's about a Mexican superhero or a Jewish superhero. Oh, okay. And it's usually the person saying it.
Starting point is 00:24:21 That's my way of knowing who they hate more, Mexicans or Jews, depending on which one they reference at the time. Yeah, I'm pretty sneaky like that. How about it's super-hyme-y about a guy who lends money at exorbitant interest rates and farts a lot? Because you can't tell then if it's Mexican or... Can we cut that out?
Starting point is 00:24:40 Did I... I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you before the show, not only do we not cut things out The worst stuff We rearrange it so it's at the very top of the show So like Here's how bad it's going to get Just to save you the time of listening to the whole thing
Starting point is 00:24:56 And then That's how that works Hey is Grease 2 in that book? This book is entirely greaseless. No parts of the grease toology made it into the book. We're going to scot. But I just picked one at random, a movie, and I'm going to say it out loud,
Starting point is 00:25:22 and then we'll see if anybody here has seen it. He picks a movie from 2005 Called The Matador That stars Pierce Brosnan We got somebody clapped And you loved it? Loved it I saw where it was playing
Starting point is 00:25:36 You walked by it once? I've seen the title so he's kind of off Yeah it was written and directed by Richard Shepard, who I think, I don't want to say what else he did, but he maybe wrote The Cooler? No, I don't know. But anyway. I like The Cooler.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Who else was in the movie? It was Pierce Brosnan, Greg Kinnear, and Hope Davis. I liked her a lot in that, actually. It was good. I thought it was good. You know, I don't think it's one of the best movies you've never seen. Like, I wouldn't tell anybody, you've got to see The Matador. But now that I've said it on the podcast, people watch The Matador and let me know on Twitter or MySpace what you think of it.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Don't try to write to me on Facebook. I'm not there. I heard El cantante was really really good with jennifer lopez and mark anthony it's no gili i heard it was really really good like really really good well it's interesting and i'm not saying that in the day of film and sarcastically it's very interesting that you say that this is not planned you guys this is amazing uh okay let me back up this isn't amazing but it also hasn't been planned the subject for today's leonard malton game that we're about to play is worst romantic comedies
Starting point is 00:26:56 of all time and geely was one of the titles that i was going to uh play with and now it's out of the bag, so we can't. So thank you very much for that. You're ruining this show in so many ways. So suddenly that farting interest rate joke doesn't seem so bad. Wait a second. Well, now that you bring it up again. I'm just saying. Why are you going out of your way to defend that?
Starting point is 00:27:23 Why can't we just all move on? Okay. Let's all just pretend it didn't happen. I'm sorry, Doug. Why are you going out of your way to defend that? Why can't we just all move on? Let's all just pretend it didn't happen I'm sorry Doug And the best way to do that You're forgiven Hot tub time machine Thank you Do you have personalized plates on your car now?

Starting point is 00:31:03 Your vagina's a communist. Because that's only 60 years ago. Well, look at it, Your Honor. It's red. Come on now. Who's with me? Fucking laugh. Or we could be...
Starting point is 00:31:14 Or... I got one. Hang on, hang on, hang on. Hot tub time machine's got one, everybody. Okay, okay. First of all, your car, front plate, hot tub, back plate, time machine. Wait, wait. That keeps you out of trouble with the cops.
Starting point is 00:31:29 Wait, I got it. Which car was he in, the hot tub car or the time machine car? And two different states, like Nevada and Louisiana. Oh, no, from two different years. Yeah, that's right. Boom. Because it is a show where one is a hot tub. 2010, front time machine, 85. right. Boom. Because it is so, that is so where it's like one is a hot tub.
Starting point is 00:31:45 2010. Front time machine. 85. Two different times. I like it. All right. Okay. Here's my one.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Or we could be in court. The bathroom back there smells like a lot of weed. That's all I'm going to say. Oh, really? Somebody's back there shitting weed? Yeah. There's a gardener back there dumping his bags. Come on.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Who's with me? All right. I briefly explained the Leonard Maltin game to my guests, David Feldman and Craig Robinson. Of course, Graham Elwood has played it before. So he, of course, is going to have somewhat of an advantage. And I think it's going to be a very exciting match. The Matador. You don't just guess titles, especially ones we've already just been talking about.
Starting point is 00:32:45 Giggly? G about. Giggly? Giggly. Somebody wrote to me on Twitter. They tried to slam Geely, but they spelled it G-E-E-L-E-Y. And I figured out what they meant after a while. I stared at it for the longest time going, what's Geely? What are they trying to say? And it was like they were trying to burn Geely.
Starting point is 00:33:02 And then it's like, well, you've got to know how to spell something before you can burn it it's just you know it's one of my many comedy rules i keep getting walk around with i get emails telling me i'm retarded oh are they throwing an h or something or they spell it t at the r-e-t-a-r-t-E-D. Instead of retarded, I'm retarted. Oh, retarded. Like they're just putting an extra emphasis in there. Like you're really retarded. Right? I was feeling smug like they couldn't spell, but I guess not.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Do you eat more than one pasty treat? Yes, I do. I don't understand the question. right the topic is this the topic uh on this edition retreat of the leonard malden game is the worst romantic comedies of all time i found somewhere where they listed i think it was entertainment weekly listed the worst romantic comedies of all time. And we'll start with Graham. The Accused. Not a comedy. Deer Hunter. You see what I did? I said that The Accused is not a comedy,
Starting point is 00:34:15 but meaning that it could possibly be romantic when Jodie Foster gets raped on a pinball machine. And it's so unrealistic, it doesn't tilt like it would tilt. Like they totally, they go back to playing their game after. That is the problem with that tilt. It would totally shut down. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:34 All right, Graham, do you want a movie from, a worst romantic comedy ever from 2007, 2003, or 96 of 1900? 03. Here we go. This is from 03. And I'll give you a clue.
Starting point is 00:34:49 I'll give you something that Leonard said about it. He said, guzzle sunscreen instead of sitting through this. Yeah. So imagine a movie that would be worse to watch than taking sunscreen and guzzling it. All right? That's what this movie is. One of the worst romantic comedies of all time. And there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven names.
Starting point is 00:35:16 Graham, you can start the bidding. Did I tell you what year it was from? 2003. Start the bidding with seven names or less. How many names do you think you can get it in? I'll go... I'll go... I'll go five.
Starting point is 00:35:33 Autotune is ruining all of music. All right. Craig Robinson. Should he name that movie, or can you name it in less than five names? What? Can he? You said, should he name it?
Starting point is 00:35:57 Oh, can I? You either say Graham Elwood, name that movie. Okay. Or David Feldman. I can name that movie in four names. Nice. I see where you're going with this. Yeah, it's like a game.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Name that movie. Three names. It's not your turn, David. Oh. I say three names. He says three names. He says three names. Now, David, you could say name that movie, or you can try to name it in less names.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Okay. Name that movie. Let's go. This point is going to uh mr feldman because i couldn't i i don't know anybody alive that would be able to name this movie based on these three names jason airbar was in it that's how i think you pronounce this y y r i b a r I-B-A-R. That's Mariah Carey.
Starting point is 00:36:44 No. Brian Dietzen was in this movie. And Greg Stiff. Or Sif. No T. Stiff, but with no T. Greg Sif. And it was from 2003. And you should guzzle sunscreen instead of sitting through this insipid musical vehicle for TV's American Idol stars,
Starting point is 00:37:03 which finds them trying to make a love connection during Miami spring break. No one was expecting Shakespeare, but there's less heft here than in an Archie comic book. Justin and Kelly belt and gyrate through a series of forgettable numbers, but generate no chemistry, even in a chaste Frankie Annette sort of a way.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Do you have a guess? Yeah. What's it called? Green. I didn't say it yet. Do you really not know? From Justin to Kelly. Yes, that's correct.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Yay. When you said the first guy, I was shaking. You kind of knew. You kind of had an idea. Jason, I knew. Alright. Okay, so let's start down there
Starting point is 00:37:58 with Graham again. 2007, 96, or 97? Let's go 07, buddy. Okay, buddy. Let's do it. This is... P90X.
Starting point is 00:38:14 This is from 2007, and let's see if I can find a line that was a good clue. Reds. Contrived romantic comedy is torpedoed by one particular character. I'm not going to name the actress.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Who is unbelievably annoying. Leonard is not afraid of losing friends in Hollywood. That's for sure. Well, are the top two names... Is Matthew McConaughey in one of the top names? No, but this is from 2007.
Starting point is 00:38:45 What were you thinking it was? Anything he did with Kate Hudson. Oh, Fool's Gold or something? Two names. Is Matthew McConaughey in one of the top names? No, but this is from 2007. What were you thinking it was? Anything he did with Kate Hudson. Oh, Fool's Gold or something? Yeah. No, that's not it. That's not it. Enough pre-guessing. All right.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Ten days I hate about you. Ten. Okay. Ten things that... There's three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. There's like nine names here, I think. Yeah, nine names. All right. Start the bidding with Graham Elwood. I'll six, seven, eight, nine. There's like nine names here, I think. Yeah, nine names. All right.
Starting point is 00:39:06 Start the bidding with Graham Elwood. I'll go lucky number five again, bitch. Now, are you saying that to me or to Craig? To you. The bitch part. To you. Okay. Of course you are.
Starting point is 00:39:18 I'm going to say motherfucker to Craig. Name that movie Oh nice Lock it up Nicely played Tony Hale was in this movie Outstanding He's Buster on Arrested Development

Starting point is 00:39:46 He's a classic. He was in that first horrible Star Trek, I think. Piper Perabo. From Coyote Ugly. Right. And you got five names, right? Yeah. And Lauren Graham.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Ooh! Is the fifth name. That's a good... She gets shitty billing. Isn't she in Parenthood now? She's one of the stars of Parenthood, yes. And Father Knows Best. I don't know what... The original series, Father Knows Best, with Lauren Graham.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Lauren Graham was on that? Yeah. What'd she play? I think Kitten. No. Father Knows Best from 1955, Lauren Graham. There's no way. Look it up.
Starting point is 00:40:21 I'm going to Google it. Google it. Google it right now. Lauren Graham. There's no way. Here'm going to Google it. Google it. Google it right now. Lauren Graham. There's no way. Here are... Okay. Graham.

Starting point is 00:41:30 This is the hardest game of... Is Robin Williams in it? No, Robin Williams. R.B. His name would have came up already. It was called Because I Said So. What the fuck? I wouldn't even know what that is.
Starting point is 00:41:42 No, you saw the trailer, and then you said, I'm never going to see that unless it's on a plane, of course. Somebody said, yes, I will see that, though. But you saw it. You saw it. It meant you saw it. Don't fucking lie to me. Graham, could you interrogate the audience maybe after the show? We've got to finish this up right now.
Starting point is 00:42:04 This is an exciting match we have going here. Craig gets that point, right? That's correct. Yeah, so Craig and Feldo each have a point. No, I have two points. How'd you get two points? Justin Kelly. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:16 Oh, that's right. So Craig Robinson won, everybody. Thank you. Wow. I was so worried about finishing the game. Turns out it was over already. Thank you Wow I was so worried about finishing the game Turns out it was over already It's over before it started When you try to compete against Craig Robinson

Starting point is 00:44:17 how do you say his last name again? okay and I didn't say it in the microphone so the listeners probably didn't hear it but this is the first time somebody's actually used it for a more personal agenda.
