Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug Hayes, candy wrapper, squeaky baby, sticky seeds with 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, but Doug Bums, who is? Hey, hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug, and I love movies. This is I Love Movies. Coming to you for the last time at 7 o'clock on a Tuesday at the UCB Theater in Los Angeles. Thanks to everyone at UCB, Baseball Jordan, and all the regular audience members,
Starting point is 00:00:47 and all of the guests who've had to fight L.A. rush hour traffic to get here on Tuesdays over the last nine years, I think. I'll still be doing... Thanks!
Starting point is 00:01:00 I'll still be doing shows here and at Meltdown Comics and maybe an occasional Largo show in later and longer time slots. And of course, sometimes at 4.20 in the afternoon. It's July 14, 2015. Tomorrow night I'm doing stand-up at San Francisco at the Punchline. There might be a few tickets left. Friday I'll be at the Pemberton Music Festival doing a set at 5 o'clock at the Laugh Camp stage. And if you're planning on attending Pembe Fest in beautiful Pemberton, B.C., Canada, be sure to keep an eye out on Twitter for a contest to secure a spot at the very intimate
Starting point is 00:01:37 Douglas Movies taping on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. I think single-day tickets for Sunday are still available. DouglasMovies.com for a link. From the corrections department, this is from the Pittsburgh show that probably none of you have heard yet because it just plopped an hour or two ago.
Starting point is 00:01:55 Danny DeVito is the voice of a dog in Look Who's Talking Now. So when you hear that other episode, that correction will make sense. One of my guests thought that Danny DeVito was the voice of
Starting point is 00:02:12 a baby in Look Who's Talking 2. Crucial distinction. For the prize bag tonight, I've got... This thing is really cool. Somebody on the road made a pouch for me that has the... I guess it's supposed to put my weed in it or something, but I'm not going to put my weed in something that's got my face on it. The show logo is on there. And then I was sitting in the airport lounge, because I'm
Starting point is 00:02:35 really fancy, in Chicago at O'Hare, and a dude comes up to me. He goes, I work for Raw. Can I give you some samples? And I was like, okay. And then he came back and gave me just a fistful of Raw hemp wick and Raw rolling papers and other stuff from the Raw company. So I included some of that in the prize bag. And, of course, a copy of Promotional Tool. And I don't feel bad about not bringing a lot of stuff for the prize bag tonight because my guests really outdid themselves I think, and I think you'll agree please give a big warm welcome
Starting point is 00:03:10 to David Huntsberger, Ben Acker Ben Blacker, and Wyatt Senak! Very polite bunch. I haven't even picked up their microphones yet, so nobody wins the Pete Holmes game. And that means we all... I was planning on talking into mine like this, if that was cool.
Starting point is 00:03:44 That's Wyatt Sinek, everybody, talking into... leaning into his microphone. You might want to pick it up, see how that works. I like it better. What'd you bring for the prize bag? I was on Conan tonight, and so... Yeah, you can catch it later tonight if you're here now. If you're listening to this tomorrow. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:04:10 Well, you can actually catch it on Thursday. Oh, it's on Thursday? Yeah. I went to the future and then I came back. Oh, okay. So watch Wyatt on Conan on Thursday. On Thursday. And it went well?
Starting point is 00:04:21 It was fun. Okay, good. It was a fun time. Always fun to do Conan. There was a band on tonight on the Tuesday show. And so, or a musician named J.D. McPherson. He performed. And so one, okay, there's a fan.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Yeah. I didn't bring him here. But if you want to win this, you, okay. Well, he was good. He was good. And so we've got his new album, Let the Good Times Roll. Awesome.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Now I feel like I'm just doing warm-up for Conan. And then one of the Conan writers, his name is Rob Kuttner. He is a very funny man. We work together on The Daily Show, and then he works on Conan. He wrote a comic book called Shrinkage. And this is issue number one of Shrinkage.
Starting point is 00:05:09 And so that's what I have for the prize bag. Thanks. And did you come out to L.A.? I know you've been on the show before in New York. But did you come out to L.A. for Conan or for a few things? You could be out here for a while? I just came out for Conan. Oh, okay. And to do Doug Love's movies.
Starting point is 00:05:26 All right. Well, he could have just waited for me to come to New York on August 3rd or 10th, but that's cool. I'm glad you came out for me and for Conan. Acker and Blacker are here, you guys. They're black. I mean, back.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Hi, guys. These, of course, are the dudes behind Thrilling Adventure Hour. True. Thank you. Full title, The Thrilling Adventure Hour, right? Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Yeah, yeah. Full title only, Doug. Okay. And let's start with, let's go down the line in order. Let's start with Ben Blacker. What did you bring for the prize bag? I have a bunch of our new series of Thrilling Adventure Hour-inspired comic books available from Image Comics.
Starting point is 00:06:09 Nice. Beyond Belief and Sparks, Nevada, Marshall, Mars. I have a copy of our concert film filmed at Largo, which I have been told is the last thing they will ever film at Largo because of fucking pain in the ass. Yeah, it's not. We used to do Getting Doug with High there, and the cameras can't be anywhere on the floor.
Starting point is 00:06:26 They have to be up in the booth, so it's tricky to shoot stuff there. Yeah, but we had a huge rig and a lot of people and everything, and it came out beautifully, and people can actually see what the podcast looks like now. Awesome. And it's available via thrillingadventurehour.com. I have a T-shirt that has the drawing from the comic book, and it's by Phil Hester,
Starting point is 00:06:47 and some stickers from our crossover with Welcome to Night Vale. Awesome. Podcast fans. Right? Fits everyone. Go ahead and put all that stuff back in your little tiny bag as we move on to Ben Acker, who has a giant bag,
Starting point is 00:07:05 a giant Trader Joe's bag full of goodies because you guys were at Comic Con last weekend. Yes. So we got... But you were also
Starting point is 00:07:12 at Trader Joe's. Yeah. Gets around. Yeah. Thank you to Trader Joe's for this bag. I brought two seasons of The Wire
Starting point is 00:07:20 because I have HBO Go now so I don't need it. Which season? It's not that bullshit one about the paper. No, the bullshit one about the ducks. I'm kidding. Every season's great.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Yeah, the duck season. Yeah. I like every season of that show. I'm just joking around. Me too. Okay, here is from Comic-Con. This is a loot crate box. Don't look in it.
Starting point is 00:07:40 It's supposed to be a surprise. Oh, okay. Or look in it and talk about it. Yeah, let's see what typically is in a Loot Crate box. This is most of the stuff from a Loot Crate box. All right. I'll pull it out. Do you want to explain it?
Starting point is 00:07:51 This is the brochure for the box. All right. This tells you about... It tells you everything that's in there. There might be an article about Zachary Levi in there. That's a little... Look at this cute little Darth Vader. Yeah, it's a cute Darth Vader.
Starting point is 00:08:04 That's adorable. People love cute Darth Vaders. That's a t-shirt for a Transformer. Optimus Prime merch. So it's only a Transformer can wear it. Boom. You see what we did there? It's called comedy. That's a thing from a Terminator movie and another thing from a Terminator movie.
Starting point is 00:08:22 The good one. Genesis. The best one. Right. Everybody's raving about Terminator movie and another thing from a Terminator movie. The good one. Genesis. The best one. Everybody's raving about Terminator Genesis. People can't wait for the next one. That's a mouse pad? Who would still use this? Wow. Are you sure this is not from the original Terminator loot crate?
Starting point is 00:08:44 That could double up as a yoga mat. In the brochure, they call it a gamer pad, which seems gross to me. Yeah. It's big enough to be a yoga mat. And that's from something. Yeah. There's a patch. It's from something.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Home audience. And that's the bag. And then I brought some comics, because Comic-Con and comics, there's a slight connection. Big stack of them. Freebies. One of the fun things about Loot Crate is probably trying to get everything back into the box and make it all fit.
Starting point is 00:09:17 I don't think it'll work. Based on this box, it's the most fun thing about Loot Crate. Do they advertise on your show? Nope. No, they do on mine sometimes. Thanks for that. Great stuff. If they were to start sending me boxes,
Starting point is 00:09:31 I would be open to it. All right, well, if you could get all that back into your Trader Joe's bag, I'd appreciate it. And the winner tonight is going to get multiple bags. Trader Joe's bags
Starting point is 00:09:41 are the roomiest bags around, Doug. Trader Joe's advertised on our podcast. Let's, Doug. Trader Joe's advertised on our podcast. Let's hear it for Trader Joe's bags. And David Hunsberger. Let's hear it for David. Hello. Good to have you back, buddy.
Starting point is 00:09:53 What did you bring for the bag? I brought three things. I brought a CD that I recorded on my own, and then I, and then this, that was many years ago,
Starting point is 00:10:02 probably like 10 years ago, and then this one is from, I think, 2013 with the alien face that you like called Explosion Land. And in the middle, there are some stickers from my new sci-fi show, Reactor. So people like stickers. When can people see Reactor? It's on Thursdays on sci-fi at 1130. It's already up and running?
Starting point is 00:10:23 It starts Thursday the 16th. so I'm not sure when this plops. Tomorrow-ish. Oh, great. It'll be on then the day after. Tomorrow the 16th. I've been seeing you do a lot of social media where you do wacky bits and film them and then put them up on the internet to promote the show.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Yeah. Yep, I did all of those. You're welcome for that. Someone sent me a thing today and one of the videos we did was one of those you're welcome for that someone sent me a thing today and I one of the videos we did was one of those YouTube ads where you can skip it
Starting point is 00:10:49 so then I was the face people were seeing as they were just hovering over the countdown and I it's nice to be on the other side of that for once I have a different
Starting point is 00:10:57 appreciation for those people like sorry man you gotta go I didn't come here for this wait but keep watching there's some stuff. No. Have you had time with your new show and everything to go to the cinema or watch anything on your home?
Starting point is 00:11:13 I have. Yeah, yeah. And then I did like an interview with Fandango and they gave me a bunch of movie passes. So sorry about the anti-Luke crate sentiments earlier, but these pro-Fandango things. But yeah, I saw Inside Out, which was fantastic. I'm sure you guys have talked about that plenty. But then I saw The Great Escape, finally. I've never seen that.
Starting point is 00:11:38 That's interesting. I don't think I've ever seen that front to back. It's pretty long, right? It's real long, yeah. You definitely do want to stop. They should call it The Great Attempt. Spoiler? Kind of. It's still definitely... I mean, they say
Starting point is 00:11:51 right at the beginning, like, these events are all true. The escape. They refer to it. The title is The Great Escape. And yet when you see that, you're like, ah, don't spoil it. And then it's still captivating, even with my moderate spoiler there. You think they had, like, a similar escape plan to El Chapo? Yeah it involved digging a tunnel the tunnels very similarly just kind of show up it's one of those movies where like i like how they did it and then in
Starting point is 00:12:16 the great escape they're like and now here's a thousand foot tunnel just exists you'll have to just trust that they worked real hard on it. What about you, Ben? Doug, thanks for asking. Ben A. That's me. I watched Jurassic World. Of course you did. I prefer Jurassic Park.
Starting point is 00:12:34 Yeah. Yeah. I'm just going to say. I'm more of a park guy than a world guy, for sure. I heard that stuff is, sorry to jump in there, but I heard all that stuff is because of the international market. People can't handle a complex storyline anymore, so you just thin it out, and it's dinosaur got out, must run, the end. And that's what we're seeing now. Really? Because I feel like America, we're low on math and science and all that stuff,
Starting point is 00:13:01 so it feels like they're just telling us that for our own benefit. Well, I think it's more of a translation. The rest of the world's too stupid to... You guys are so smart. Who's a smarty? If things didn't go so badly for Jurassic World, you know, with the dinosaurs
Starting point is 00:13:22 not really working out for helping out in the military. Obama wouldn't have had to use diplomacy. We could have sent some dinosaurs over to Iran. Fuck shit up that way. What about you, Ben? B? I have not been to the cinema
Starting point is 00:13:38 lately, but I saw Kingsman. I rented Kingsman. Secret Service, yes. It was really fun. It's a great movie. It was a good time. I enjoyed it. It was a good time. I enjoyed it. A really good time. I feel like that's the bar for how action movies ought to be. Yes. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:51 And that's what, have you seen the Deadpool trailer? I have not seen the trailer yet. R-rated. R-rated movie. That's a good one. Finally an R-rated. Yeah, let's show it right now. Just pull that screen down.
Starting point is 00:14:03 No, so I just saw it because somebody in Hall H filmed it on their camera phone sideways. The way it's meant to be seen. Yeah, but it's swearing and violent and Ryan Reynolds is cracking wise and the lines are actually funny. We love Ryan Reynolds.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Yeah, who doesn't? I'm asking. Ryan Reynolds is a guy who I like him 100% of the time and his films about 10% of the time. He hasn't gotten
Starting point is 00:14:30 the best breaks in terms of movies that I would enjoy. But this one looks great. It's weird to talk about him as a guy that doesn't get a lot of breaks because these...
Starting point is 00:14:38 He keeps working. Yeah, keeps... Never had a day off. I love Jess Friends, the one where he's, you know, had the flashbacks of him being all fat. Of course, he's a lot of fun in waiting.
Starting point is 00:14:50 That's how bad it is. I have to use waiting as an example. Did you like Van Wilder? Of a good Ryan Reynolds movie. No, I didn't know Van Wilder, really. I didn't think the script supported him. I didn't see the one where he was locked underground in a coffin. I didn't see that one. Oh, yeah. in a coffin. I didn't see that one yet.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Van Wilder 2? Yes. What about you, Wyatt? Have you been to the movies? The last movie that I went to that I saw in a theater, I got invited to a screening of a movie called Tangerine that recently came out.
Starting point is 00:15:21 It's a film... Yeah, it's popping up here and there. Yeah, it's a film about transgender sex workers in Los Angeles. But this is... It was a screening, and so usually they ask you questions at the screening and stuff. So I try to do research if I ever go to a screening.
Starting point is 00:15:39 And so I went on the internet to learn about Tangerine, the movie, because there was no information other than, hey, do you want to go see Tangerine the movie because there was no information other than hey do you want to go see Tangerine so I looked it up and I just looked up movie Tangerine and the first thing that came up was there's another movie another film called Tangerine called Tangerine with an s yeah yeah and so I did a bunch of research about that movie. And I bet you there's no transsexuals or sex workers in Tangerines. In Tangerines, it's about an Estonian soldier and a Georgian soldier who are trapped. Oh, wait, did I stand corrected?
Starting point is 00:16:15 Well, that's the thing. They're trapped in a house together, and you watch the trailer, and it's like, are they going to kill each other? And so then I went to the screening and I did press and so it happened to be Pride Weekend and this reporter was like this is a fitting movie to be seen on Pride
Starting point is 00:16:34 Weekend and I don't know there's a movie called Tangerine I only know there's a movie called Tangerines about an Estonian soldier and a Georgian soldier so when this reporter asked me, I was like, you fucking blew the end of the movie for me.
Starting point is 00:16:50 I didn't know that's how they get through their problems. By hooking up. That said, though, Tangerine was a good film. All right. I saw the last time I did an episode of this show, the last movie I had seen was Amy and That Remains, and I still like it, the Amy Winehouse documentaries. I want to see it.
Starting point is 00:17:15 It's very good. Anybody that thinks they don't like her or her music, if they watch it, I think they would change their tune, so to speak. Oh. Have you seen the Nina Simone documentary? The what? The Nina Simone documentary that also recently came out. No.
Starting point is 00:17:30 What Happened Miss Simone? Is that what it's called? Yeah, What Happened Miss Simone. Oh, okay. It's good? It is, yeah. It's, I feel like, another kind of tragic tale of a person with a beautiful voice. It's interesting, the whole documentary thing, there's so many
Starting point is 00:17:46 of them now, and I've never seen one. It's been years, I think, since I've seen a documentary and afterwards I'm like, that was boring, or that was bullshit. There's something about documentaries that if it gets finished and put out there, other than my own documentaries, which are just foolish,
Starting point is 00:18:02 if it gets finished, something happened. You know what I mean? Like the movie has an ending. You know, like it has a point and an ending and it's something really interesting
Starting point is 00:18:09 because how can it get out into the world if they just film a subject that's boring? The King of Kong has a bad guy, twists and turns. It's as riveting
Starting point is 00:18:19 as any movie. What's that? Best sports movie. King of Kong. It's great. It's a 30 on 30, isn't it? All right, you 30 on 30 isn't it alright you guys 3430
Starting point is 00:18:29 did I say it wrong? it's time for me to say let the games begin gentlemen we got some name tags in the audience and you know this is like
Starting point is 00:18:43 everyone's trying to convince me to keep doing shows here by all bringing name tags. And thank you for that. And if you guys want to just go pick who you want to play for, just go grab a name tag and bring it back to your seat.
Starting point is 00:18:55 And while you do that, we'll do this. We'll be right back. Hey, hey, hey, everybody. Comic-Con 2015 has begun. So whether you're at Comic-Con or wish you were, rent or own my movie, Chronicon, from iTunes or on VOD and lots of other places where you get motion picture entertainment.
Starting point is 00:19:17 And thanks to all of you who have watched and enjoyed the silliness. Back to the show. All right, we're back. Who are you playing for David? I'm playing for Avengers Age of Biltron and it's you basically just
Starting point is 00:19:37 tape that to a Tesseract toy yeah okay I just read A Wrinkle in Time so I'm really into Tesseracts these days.
Starting point is 00:19:50 Ben? Ben A? Thank you, Doug. I'm playing for Chad Mack's Fury Road. And there's your face on it. Yeah, I put my little face on there. I wish I was in that movie. What would your name be? What would my crazy future Mad Max name be?
Starting point is 00:20:06 Yeah. I don't know. What would your name be? You could be Imperium Stoniosa. Still taking those improv classes? Yeah. Yeah, I love these kind of games. Is this why you're leaving UCB?
Starting point is 00:20:18 A good one will jump into my head later, maybe, but probably not. I couldn't even tell you the names of the characters that are in Mad Max Fury Road. There's Randy. There's, of course, Max. Cynthia. Cynthia. Elliot. And the Skipper.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Elliot. Who are you playing for, Ben B? Fahrenheit Sam 11. And he seems to have attached it to a Will Ferrell toy? I think it's George Bush. I'm not good at history. History is not my subject. That doll also
Starting point is 00:20:54 looks like at some point it could have been a Don Adams doll. It could have been like these were old Get Smart toys. Yeah, talking to his shoe comes off. Doesn't work. Did he put his shit in on the back of that somehow?
Starting point is 00:21:08 He did. Oh, there it is, on the back of the little label. He did not, unlike Biltron, he did not use tape. He used some sort of dangerous metal ring. Safety pin? I don't know. Okay. Let's talk about it for half an hour.
Starting point is 00:21:21 I threw a shoe at the president. He did not duck. Topical. He took it right in the face. Yeah, topical from seven years ago. I am playing for Kaelin them softly. Well, there I am with a nice shotgun. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:45 That's good Photoshop work. I'm pointing at somebody who just yelled Amy Adams. And somebody handed me these. Why did you hand me these? Just so I can have something that I don't eat, this sort of thing. You want me to throw these cupcakes at somebody? All right.
Starting point is 00:22:03 Baseball Jordan, Do you want? You sure? They look beautiful. You're full? It's in a box. Take them home. Yeah, there you go, buddy. Gotta give Baseball Jordan something for his
Starting point is 00:22:19 years of service. What is he full from? What are you full from? He just had a meal or something. You went to a restaurant called Squirrel? Oh, that place is great. Yeah, it's all squirrel meat. Oh.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Saved the tail for me. How many years do you think you've been coming to the shows here on Tuesday nights, Jordan? We've been coming, Leslie and I, since January 2011. January 2011. January 2011. Happy anniversary. And I'm sorry. Well, thank you for coming all these times, and I hope to see you
Starting point is 00:22:53 at future shows. What are you going to do now that you have your Tuesday nights free? Probably stay at Disneyland longer, right? Yeah, they go to Disneyland every Tuesday all day and then they come here for this. This is, hold on, this is the show. Let's get into this.
Starting point is 00:23:16 He was a guest for a few seconds on an episode when somebody showed up late. Really? He got to sit on the panel, but he showed up eventually, right? No, the whole episode. You got through the whole episode? Oh, that's cool.
Starting point is 00:23:27 All right. I'm glad one of us remembers this shit. All right, well, tonight we're going to be playing the two newest games on the show. I figured that would be a great way to go out. And the first one is called Whose Tagline Is It Anyway? And I'm going to say a tagline from a movie to one of you. If you can guess the name of the movie
Starting point is 00:23:50 that that's the tagline for, according to IMDB, then you remain in the game. When you can't think of one, you're out. It moves to the next person if you're wrong. We'll start...
Starting point is 00:24:04 It sounds so heavy. We'll start. Sounds so heavy. We'll start on the other end with David Huntsberger. Can you tell me the movie that had the tagline, the scariest comedy of all time? The scariest comedy of all time. Yeah. That was the screen.
Starting point is 00:24:24 Can you think of a scary comedy? Scary movie, the original. First scary movie? Yeah, that's my guess. Wrong. Damn. But that's a really good guess. What do you think, Ben? A? Ghostbusters? No. Damn it.
Starting point is 00:24:40 Ghostbusters 2? Now listen. You get one guess. I just got two. But Ben B, he could take Ghostbusters 2 if he wants to. I wouldn't recommend it. I would. It would be kind of weird for them to call it anything of all time
Starting point is 00:24:58 when it's the inferior sequel. Now be fair, it was very inferior. It came up in the last episode, Inferior sequel. Now, be fair. It was very inferior. Yeah. It came up in the last episode, and people in the audience groaned when I said it was bad. Like, people love Ghostbusters 2. People a few years younger than us love that movie. Yeah, and it's pretty watchable.
Starting point is 00:25:17 It's just not as good as the first one. Could you repeat the tagline? The scariest comedy of all time. Is it a Haunted House? No. You sure? I am sure. A Haunted House? No, still no. But I don't know. Wyatt, do you have
Starting point is 00:25:37 a guess? You're all still going to be in if Wyatt doesn't get it. We'll move on to the next one, but if he nails it, he wins this thing. The Unknown Known? Donald Rumsfeld documentary? I love a good tagline on a documentary. Is it
Starting point is 00:25:58 Leprechaun? Wait a second, what's happening now? Well, I think we've been around. It's just all... Can I guess? You we'd been around. It's just all... Can I guess? You've got to guess. It's Young Frankenstein. Ah.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Yeah, Young Frankenstein. Young Frankenstein. A Young Frankenstein. All right. That was a good game. Let's try another one. So far, so good. It's fun.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Even wrong answers are sort of right in this game. Because you all picked movies that could have been called that if the makers had that kind of hubris. Especially that Rumsfeld documentary. David, we'll start with you. What movie has the tagline,
Starting point is 00:26:37 Get Ready for Rush Hour? Seems very easy, but it's not is it the sequel get ready for Rush Hour and it's not Rush Hour
Starting point is 00:26:52 so you say oh I'm gonna then say The Chase oh Charlie Sheen yeah no damn
Starting point is 00:27:01 Ben A Rush Hour the movie great guess do you wanna go Ben A. Rush Hour. The movie. Great guess. Do you want to go ahead and say Rush Hour 2 now and get it over with? It's obviously not from Rush Hour 2. Come on.
Starting point is 00:27:16 You were ready for Rush Hour. It's from Rush Hour 2. Ben Blacker. Oh my god, it really wasn't Rush Hour? Jesus. Did you think David was being dumb by going with the chase? I thought he thought, he's a smart guy. David, what is the tagline from Rush Hour, David?
Starting point is 00:27:32 I would guess it's get ready for Rush Hour. Can we vote? I think, I don't know for sure, but I think the tagline for Rush Hour was, these two are crazy. These streets will never be the same. Could you repeat the tagline? Get ready For Rush Hour Is there a Rush Limbaugh documentary?
Starting point is 00:27:53 I'll see myself out Alright, Wyatt Speed That's correct Good guess Damn it And speed too, right? Get ready again for rush hour, but on the water this time.
Starting point is 00:28:11 I put speed in the game because I'm going to be interrupting it on Saturday, August 1st at the Traverse City Film Festival, which is always a great time. All right, let's play Reverse Malton, you guys. This is a brand new twist on a game you've all played before called the Leonard Malton game. And Wyatt gets to go first because he won that last game. And then we'll just go in the opposite direction. What's happening?
Starting point is 00:28:37 He's just wondering how this Tesseract's going. Yeah, you kind of have to hold it the whole time? Yeah, I knew what I was getting into. You feel like it shouldn't be put on the ground like a flag or something? It's a toy, and it's still very heavy. Yeah. All right, but you're doing all right with it? Yeah, I feel like it's disrespectful to put it on the ground.
Starting point is 00:28:54 All right. Did anybody get a good picture of David with the Tesseract? Because that's a great picture. You just don't usually see someone standing near that thing as in a superhero outfit or something. Yeah. And they're not just a guy standing around just on my off hour
Starting point is 00:29:08 I just wondered for the person who was waiting in line on Franklin Avenue as we were walking by yeah
Starting point is 00:29:15 to go get food and stuff were they terrified or or did they just shake their hand and go Scientologist.
Starting point is 00:29:36 This game, Reverse Malton, is like the Leonard Maltin game, but also not like it. We still use the Leonard Maltin app. I'm going to give you a choice, Wyatt, between three. I dare say classic motion pictures or certainly well-known motion pictures. And you're going to pick the one that you think you can name the most actors who are in it. Actors and actresses. I use actors, of course, for both.
Starting point is 00:29:55 And then I'll tell you how many names Leonard lists. And it has to be how many you can name out of the ones that Leonard has listed. In order or out of order? No order. Just you've got to name as many as you bid on. And then we move down the line. The next person could bid more or say name them, challenge you.
Starting point is 00:30:15 And then if somebody has the unmitigated gall to say they can name all the names, then the next person down the road just has to say, name them. There's nowhere else to go from there. So wait, all... You've got to hope they fail. So this is, I'm not 100% clear on what's happening here. I feel a lot of pressure going first, so... No, and that's part of it, is with you going first, you're going to really be able to run the table and determine what movie we're going to do.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Okay, so I'll just pick a movie. Pick a movie that you think you know the most actors from. Okay. From these three. Alright. Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, or Return of the Jedi. Which one of those three films do you think you can name the most
Starting point is 00:31:02 actors from? Kind of a similar group in each. Yeah. Little additions here and there. I will go Empire Strikes Back. Okay. Everybody's favorite. Apparently not
Starting point is 00:31:18 this room's. Apparently it was four people's favorite. These guys love Ewoks. Yeah. It's a big Ghostb love Ewoks. Yeah. Or they're... It's a big Ghostbusters 2 crowd. Yeah. 14 names are listed by Leonard Maltin
Starting point is 00:31:34 as appearing in Empire Strikes Back, and you can bid anywhere from one to 14 names. That I can name? How many you can name. Okay. I'll go seven. That is a super big opening bid. Yeah, name it.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Okay, you're already getting a challenge from Ben Blacker. All right. So Wyatt has to name seven actors who are in Empire Strikes Back. That's the one. Episode five. All right. Let's do it. Harrison Ford.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Mm-hmm. Mark Hamill. Mm-hmm. James Earl Jones. That's three. Alec Guinness. Four. Carrie Fisher.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Five. Billy Dee Williams Six That's where Just one more Yeah I'm getting there Shit Hold on Give me a second shit hold on give me a second
Starting point is 00:32:47 oh oh oh okay Frank Oz that's it you did it wow and then he just left said fuck all y'all and left. Can I have his point?
Starting point is 00:33:08 Guns blazing. Boba Fett as himself. I don't know if he understands there's more to the game than that. Maybe he just had to go to the restroom. But of course, Frank Oz in that movie was the voice of Miss Piggy. And John Ratzenberger made the list. Frank Oz in that movie was the voice of Miss Piggy. John Ratzenberger made the list. David Prowse, of course, who's under the Darth Vader costume.
Starting point is 00:33:38 And Anthony Daniels, who's the voice and the costume of C-3PO. Peter Mayhew. That's where I was worried for you, is that the rest of them are all just voices. Right, yeah. People in costumes. So, good job. You have one point. We're playing two points.
Starting point is 00:33:55 We'll start on the opposite end there, where David gets to pick the next movie that starts us off. Oh, dear. And this one's going to be a real challenge. I apologize in advance. Name it. David, can you name more actors from Cannonball Run, The Cannonball Run, The Cannonball Run 2, or merely Cannonball? There's a film called Cannonball.
Starting point is 00:34:15 They're all about that infamous race. And it was like cameos of everybody in those. Yeah, so there's lots of names to choose from, but how many of them do you think you can remember? I'll just go the original Cannonball. Run. Cannonball Run.
Starting point is 00:34:29 Okay. That was a close one. I call it Cannonball. That was a close one. I'm like one of those actors when they come back from work and I'm like, oh, I was on Swamp.
Starting point is 00:34:36 You mean people of the Swamp? We call it Swamp. You don't call it P-O-T-S? I hear they were like that with Hotel Rwanda. Yeah, I was working on Hotel. Oh, a remake for dogs? No, the other way.
Starting point is 00:34:56 Oh, you just gave me a great... I might have to do something called Hotel for Dugs. I like it. Oh, yeah. David? That's where you just go to a bunch of different hotels. I do that already. Let's just film it.
Starting point is 00:35:10 I'll take the original run, as I call it. Okay. 15 names. You're right about the cameos. 15 names. How many of those do you think you can pull out of thin air? One. No, two. Okay, he says
Starting point is 00:35:24 a whopping two names. All right. those do you think you can pull out of thin air? One. No, two. Okay, he says a whopping two names. To Ben Acker. Five. Yeah, do it. Do it. I know he's never seen this. Ben Blacker's a real challenger. You're a thing of Cannonball Run, too. Alright, so
Starting point is 00:35:42 you've got to name five people that are in the original The Cannonball Run. The Burt Reynolds. Dom DeLuise. They vote my two. Sammy Davis Jr. Dean Martin. Mary Lou Henner. I mean, Jackie Chan.
Starting point is 00:36:06 I'm sorry, Mary Lou Henner is not listed. The other four are correct. Mary Lou Henner is not listed, so David Huntsberger gets the point. Wait, no, I thought... That was a really... Oh, okay. Hey, guys, do you like hubris? She might have showed up in the second one, right?
Starting point is 00:36:20 Yeah, probably. Yeah, damn it. Love that second one. Leonard gave both one and two the bomb designation. Because they the, probably. Yeah. Damn it. Love that second one. Leonard gave both one and two the bomb designation. Because they the bomb. Because they are the bomb. And Mary Lou Henner
Starting point is 00:36:30 is fourth build on the second one. So your memory's not too off. But David gets the point. The best of them. No, I think it was Ben who challenged. Oh, yeah, Ben challenged.
Starting point is 00:36:40 That's right. Let's give it to David. That's right. Let's give it to David, though. Let's give it to David. I like that. That's fair. He's got it to David, though. Let's give it to David. I like that. That's fair. He's got a new show coming out Thursday night on Syfy.
Starting point is 00:36:47 He needs a mind. So he needs the point. No, Ben Blacker gets the point, but that means we're going to start with Wyatt again and then go to Ben Blacker. And you get to choose between these three, Wyatt. Would you like Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, or Natural Born Killers? I love that reaction.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Mmm. Oh. I will take Natural Born Killers. Okay. That's the last thing I expected anybody to do. I will take Reservoir Dogs.
Starting point is 00:37:24 Okay. We'll do that in a parallel universe. Wyatt, there are eight, nine, ten, eleven, fifteen names listed by Mr. Malton on his dead app. All right. How many of those do you think you can name? One.
Starting point is 00:37:46 That's a good opening bid. We'll go to Ben Blacker. I'm tempted to challenge you. I think I can do two. Three. Blacker. Acker. Huntsberger. I know.
Starting point is 00:38:02 I feel like I'd do three, but not. I'll say name it. Name them. Three? Yeah, just three. Yeah, you just name three people, and you're on the board with a point. Any three people.
Starting point is 00:38:15 I have to pronounce them correctly, right? Woody Harrelson? Robert Downey Jr. And Juliette Lewis. Yes. The top three billed people. Robert Downey Jr. and Juliette Lewis yes the top three billed people
Starting point is 00:38:29 oh I like to go in over was Quentin Tarantino in that was he listed in it I don't does he I don't believe he appears in it
Starting point is 00:38:37 I thought he was in it at some point I thought there was acrimony between him and Oliver Stone like he didn't like he didn't like how it turned out cause that's probably the only...
Starting point is 00:38:46 Is that the only Tarantino script that he didn't direct himself? No, True Romance. True Romance, yeah, that's two. All right, so like I said, Ben B., Ben A., and Wyatt are all on the board. David's the only one that doesn't have a point yet. Curse this Tesseract.
Starting point is 00:39:03 It's poisoning me. Yeah, it's really taking all your brain power away. Sapping all your knowledge. Who challenged who on that one? David challenged him, so that means we're going to start with Ben Blacker and go to Wyatt.
Starting point is 00:39:19 And Ben gets to pick between these three titles. Would you like Punch Drunk Love, Crazy Stupid Love, or Can't Buy Me Love? These are horrible choices. Yeah, I'm not familiar with those films. This must be tough. I'm going to say Punch Drunk Love, I guess.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Okay. I guess I should warn the guests backstage that this is a game where you can do kind of a poker face. You could act confident and then that way you won't get challenged when you get down to it.
Starting point is 00:40:00 The movies are horrible. That's all I meant. All of them. They're all horrible movies? All movies are. Who That's all I meant. All of them. They're all horrible movies? No. All movies are. Oh. No. JK. JK. Seth Green farts in Patrick Dempsey's face.
Starting point is 00:40:10 That's a classic. In Punch Drug Love? Yes. Oh, I'm going to say two then. No, Punch Drug Love is your choice. Yes. And Leonard lists a mere five people. Yeah, I suspected.
Starting point is 00:40:24 I can name one. Okay. Wyatt? I can name one. Okay. Wyatt? I can name two. Oh, this is your chance. Do you think you can name three people or more in Punch Drunk Love, David? Yeah, three. Name it.
Starting point is 00:40:39 No hesitation. And this is David's chance to pull a four-way tie if he can name three people. Adam Sandler, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Louise Guzman. Those are all correct! Wow! I love Louise Guzman.
Starting point is 00:40:58 The Tesseract! She's great. Emilee Watson and Marilyn Ricecup are the women in it, for people that are into women. What's the first person's name you said? Because I can see her face, but I couldn't remember her name. Emily Watson.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Emily Watson. Okay. She's really good in them. Yeah, she's good all the time. We've got a four-way tie, you guys. Exciting. Exciting. For the last time, apologies to Put Your Hands Together.
Starting point is 00:41:28 I'll never have to apologize to them again. I might do it anyway if a show's running long. Just for the hell of it. I've selected... Who challenged who that last time? Ben challenged David, so that means we're going to start with Wyatt and work our way back to you guys. I know, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:41:47 Start with me a lot. Yeah, it works out good for you. But the trouble is, on this tie-breaking one, I picked a movie ahead of time, and you don't get to choose. All right. That film is Steven Spielberg's hook. Doug, did Rufio play himself?
Starting point is 00:42:14 You cannot stop people from doing that. It's also Bill Cosby's favorite chant. That joke finally works. Yeah, this was a joke a long time in the making. Cosby was putting the work in when this movie was out, though. Lettered list, 12 names. How many people from the motion picture hook do you think you can name, Wyatt?
Starting point is 00:42:51 One. That's a strong opening bit. Is it coming to me, or... Wait, wait, what did I say? Oh, you were involved in the last skirmish, so we go to the people that didn't get to participate. Oh, I see, okay. So it starts with Ben Blacker.
Starting point is 00:43:07 I can do... What was I? Four? He thinks he can name four people. I can do four. I'm going to say five. He takes it up a notch. Five. One notch. Five fucking people.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Thank you. I'm people. Thank you. Name them. I'm going to say name them, yeah. Name them. No, no. Wyatt's acting like he's going to get the point. You'd have to know a lot of the kids' names, I think. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:43:36 Really? I had a big cast. Okay, so David says name them. No, Wyatt says name them. You can't just jump in out of order. You just seconded by name them. Am I to name them. You can't just jump in out of order. You just seconded by name them. Am I to name them? You can name five.
Starting point is 00:43:49 You win. If you can't, David is our winner tonight. And just know this is pitted completely against you. Yeah, the Tesseract is... I feel like it's tearing us apart. It's our fault. That's what a Tesseract does. Sure, probably.
Starting point is 00:44:02 It tears people apart. Look it up. Five names listed by letter of all. By height. Robin Williams. That's one. Charlie Korsmo. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:44:16 Wow. Second in knowing kids' names. The Child Bob Hoskins. Dustin Hoffman. Have I said Julia Roberts? No, you haven't, are you? No, Maggie Smith. That's six names.
Starting point is 00:44:34 You overdid it. You over won. Phil Collins, of course. And Gwyneth Paltrow. Glenn Close, right? And also... Rufio?
Starting point is 00:44:48 But Glenn Close, not listed by Leonard because she was dressed up as a man and had some weird name in the titles, I think. I don't know. But that means
Starting point is 00:44:56 that Ben Acker is our winner, everybody. History. What was the guy's name who played Smee? Smee was Bob Hoskins. Why do you have an envelope that says there's a shithead inside, and then you didn't put one in there? You went to all that trouble to not get your shithead read.
Starting point is 00:45:17 No, I'll read it. What do you want me to say? Okay. I didn't know those people existed. It's quite heavy. It didn't know those people existed. It's quite heavy. It's very heavy. All right. Does this have a shit in on the back? It does.
Starting point is 00:45:30 I won, but it's a good shit. Oh, there it is. It's on a rainbow. That's so cute. They kind of freestyled it and wrote a whole sentence that won't make sense when I say it, but I'll try anyway. And then this one on the Tesseract. Pass that Tesseract back to the proper owner. I don't want that to get...
Starting point is 00:45:48 Yeah, I'll take that too. Feltron. I agree with that. The shithead so far. Let's see. That's crazy. You see it? Wait, why did... Why did you give me the...
Starting point is 00:46:03 I don't need the shithead for the... Wait, who won? One of these won. I just like the shithead. Oh, you just like that they made a rainbow and wrote Donald Trump is a racist bigoted shithead on there? Okay, I don't mind saying that.
Starting point is 00:46:16 I just thought it was rainbows or shitheads. Oh, because she already told me. So are you in cosplay? It's just a casual day off. Just still hating the environment. Coming back from Comica, I still hate it, but wow. It's an everyday thing. Yeah, he's got a real Hiddleston thing going on there.
