This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you from the Never Not Funny Studios in the Valley of Los Angeles on August 25th to Ocean's Eleven. movies coming to you from the never not funny studios in the valley of los angeles on august 25th to oceans 11 uh why is there this sudden random episode yeah you're saying to yourself a new one just came out and and that one came out early and uh the reason for these things is because i decided to uh step it up and uh bring you at least one free episode per week, but then sometimes more.
Starting point is 00:00:48 So there will be a new one every week on or around Friday like there normally is, but then another ep or two when you least expect them. So that'll be fun, right? Or will it be annoying? I don't know. Anyway, you're listening to the first of what will hopefully be many uh I don't want to call them extra episodes this is going to be more we're just we're just doing more and uh I wanted to say hey to the uh city of Colorado because I'll be uh coming to Boulder on September 24th at the Boulder Theater and Colorado Springs September 21st at a place called Black Sheep. And if you wear your name tags to those shows, you'll get a chance to go head-to-head against Graham Elwood in the Leonard Maltin game.
Starting point is 00:01:34 My guests today are great at the Leonard Maltin game. Please welcome Garfunkel and Oates. Hello, everybody. A.K.A. Ricky Lindholm and Kate Micucci. hello everybody aka ricky lindholm and kate mccutchey and um you've both advanced to uh high levels of the tournament championships yeah we have i think it's about for me it's about strategy for kate it's about knowledge well you're a really good team like when you played against hard and firm that was really good yeah we should do something like that again we beat them with like a minus three or something.
Starting point is 00:02:07 Yeah, that was rough. But I'm excited today because I'll get to play the game against the both of you. Nice. Because also here today is guest game runner, Matt Belknap. Hello. Hi, Matt. Hi. Who everyone knows, of course from never not funny and we're
Starting point is 00:02:27 we're sitting like the ghost of jimmy pardo is in me right now right right yeah keeping his seat warm yeah oh really well that's weird it'll be a while before he sits in it again that's true yeah probably it'll totally cool off he won't sit down and be like, Benson was here? So, Ricky actually got up on stage when we were in, when Graham and I were in Cleveland at Hilarities. Yes. Yeah. Right next to, I think there should be a strip club next door
Starting point is 00:02:58 called Hilarities. That was fun. But it was a fun time and you actually came up on stage and played against an audience member. Oh, you played against Graham for an audience member. Did you win or Graham won? Graham won. The movie was Cheaper by the Dozen, and I couldn't remember the...
Starting point is 00:03:15 The name of it. Yeah. Exactly, the name. You knew there was a movie with a bunch of kids. Right. And that was the Steve Martin one, right? Yeah. Oh, wait, no.
Starting point is 00:03:24 It wasn't Cheaper by the Dozen. It was the other one. It was the Rene Russo one. And Dennis Quaid. Yeah. That I still don't know the name of. With Six You Get Egg Roll. Oh. No, that's not what it's called. That's not what I mean. That one. Cheaper by the Dozen. What was the one where they had a bunch of kids?
Starting point is 00:03:40 Oh, Matt's going to look it up. I should totally know this, but it's such a generic thing and once you put Cheaper by the Dozen in my head, then I couldn to look it up. I should totally know this, but it's such a generic thing. And once you put cheaper by the dozen in my head, then I couldn't think of it. Outbreak? Just kidding. No, that's not it. Well, I was thinking of the gorilla.
Starting point is 00:03:55 What was the Rene Russo movie with the gorilla? Yeah, it had one name, wasn't it? Buddy? I wouldn't call Pierce Brosnan a gorilla. What was that movie called? There's Cheer But It Doesn't End. It was another remake of another movie about too many kids. The more the...
Starting point is 00:04:15 Oh. The more... The merrier. No. Why is it taking you so long to look it up? Well, because I spelled Rene Russo's name wrong. That's always a major setback. I thought it was R-E-N-E-E, but it's just R-E-N-E.
Starting point is 00:04:30 There's Buddy. Thomas Crown. Big Trouble. Two for the Money? No. No, no. Are you sure Rene Russo's in this? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Yours, mine, and ours. That's it. Yeah. Yours, mine, and ours. I don't know that one. Oh, God. Dennis Quaid is in that, too? Because they both have a bunch of kids, and they get together, and it's like, can we make is mine and ours that's it yeah yours mine and ours i don't know that oh god dennis quaid isn't that too because they both have a bunch of kids and they get together and it's like can we make
Starting point is 00:04:48 this work because all the kids hate each other because they become like you know they get into wars against each other like the but you know what they made it work in mccoys they did make it work i didn't even see the movie and i know they made it i think i saw a trailer i think at one point a lot of them fall through a hole in the ground and then then Dennis Quaid looks down at it disapprovingly. And did they shrink? Did they shrink and end up in their parents' cereal? No. Was Dennis Quaid in that?
Starting point is 00:05:12 No. But it sounds to me like the Brady Bunch with more conflict. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly what it was. The Brady kids managed to get along pretty good all those years. Didn't they almost date even even sharing a bathroom what didn't they almost date well in real life yeah i think they i think they actually did it
Starting point is 00:05:31 i think there was some i think greg made love to mrs brady yeah yeah that's really hot and then i'm gonna go dream about that and then she had sex with the uh mayor of new york and he gave her uh crabs crabs right her license plate says mrs brady i've seen her driving what yeah wow oh She had sex with the mayor of New York and he gave her crabs. Crabs. Her license plate says Mrs. Brady. I've seen her driving. What? Yeah. Wow. Oh.
Starting point is 00:05:50 Yeah, I know. It's like, oh, let it go. I mean, okay. That can't be what it's all about. Yeah. Dr. Seuss said Grinch, which I thought is cool. Wow. Because that's timeless.
Starting point is 00:06:00 That's awesome. The Brady Bunch is over, but Grinch is timeless. You mean Ted Geisel? Was that his name? Yeah. Theodore. Yeah. Theodore. Yeah, Geisel. Something like that. That's timeless. That's awesome. Brady Bunch is over, but Grinch is timeless. Ted Geisel, was that his name? Yeah. Theodore. Yeah. Theodore.
Starting point is 00:06:08 Yeah, Geisel. Something like that. That's weird. It's like I never thought about the fact that they had vanity plates in his time. It seems like that was a long time ago, right? I think before he... Oh, it was like later years? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Okay. Well, now I'm getting bummed out that he died. Yeah. Sorry. Who died? Dr. Seuss. Oh, okay. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:06:27 It's been like how long now? I don't know. He's been dead a while. Probably been a while, but just the fact that he... I saw a news story on Nancy Reagan yesterday, and I thought she was dead. Yeah, me too. I didn't realize she was still alive. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Yeah. They showed her falling down somewhere. Uh-huh. Oh, no. And what's his name? Marco Rubio, I think, was the guy. He already was holding her arm so he just sort of caught her
Starting point is 00:06:47 and she didn't totally make it to the ground but she seemed pretty out of it and I really at first I really did have the same reaction I was like I thought she was dead
Starting point is 00:06:55 I just now when you were talking about it I was like wait what? Yeah I know maybe it's a big maybe we've all been pranked maybe she's having
Starting point is 00:07:04 a really long weekend at Bernie's. That's why she fell over. It's because she's not alive. And the guy holding her up is truly holding her up. That's creepy. That's really creepy. That could be a good movie. Nancy Reagan's 90-year-old body. I'm happy for her that she's alive and didn't fall down. That's like weekend at Bernie's meets First Wives. So you were shooting a movie in... Yes, in Cleveland.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Cleveland, Ohio. A movie called Fun Size. Fun Size. It's a Halloween movie. Right, and that's the size of the candy, but also is it a reference to anything else? No. Like is the lead character fun-sized? Well, I guess the lead character,
Starting point is 00:07:47 one of them is a seven-year-old boy, so he's kind of fun-sized. He's small. Yeah. But it's like Adventures in Babysitting, kind of where it's like over one night and they meet a bunch of people along the way. It's Cleveland instead of Chicago.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Yeah, exactly. Equally sketchy. Yeah, Cleveland is awesome. I like it there, yeah. Except the place that we ate lunch at. do you remember the the with the bull riding thing and oh that wasn't lunch yeah i got really sick i got really sick after that oh yeah yeah yeah we won't name names but it was some place that had a mechanical bull which is usually a mechanical bull is a sign that uh it's gonna be exquisite dining.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Right. It's going to be the best food ever. Yeah, but this poor girl couldn't get on the bull. Maybe you just ate too much of it. I think I did. Yeah. Yeah, there was a girl that wanted to ride the mechanical bull, and she couldn't get up on it.
Starting point is 00:08:33 And it was more so than any mechanical bull I've ever seen accessible in terms of all you have to do is be able to lift one leg up. Close to a carousel. Yeah. She couldn't do it. You could really get right on because everybody else was kind of like,
Starting point is 00:08:46 did you go after her? No, Abby did. Yeah, Abby was daunted by the fact the other girl couldn't get on. She's like, well, I'm not going to be able to get on if she couldn't.
Starting point is 00:08:54 And then she did. No, I think you just have to not be completely... Did you guys go on it? No. I didn't do it. But the girl's skinniest friend got in to help her
Starting point is 00:09:02 and that was no help either. She had an 80-pound friend get in and try to lift her up. This was lunch? That's what I'm saying. It was more like dinner time. But it could have happened at lunch. I think that place has lunch also. I don't know why Mechanical Bull always seems like a midnight thing you see.
Starting point is 00:09:18 It seems like you should get drunk first. But this was like happy hour-ish. Because I do a lot of shows out on the road at 4.20 in the afternoon So we're done at like 6 And so then that's when we went And that pretty much ruined my evening too Because I drank and ate so much there
Starting point is 00:09:34 And I didn't go on the bull to work it off So I think that was one of those nights Where I intended to go out And just ended up sleeping in my hotel room Yeah, I felt so gross after that. When is Fun Size supposed to come out? Next Halloween, 2012. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:51 I play an anime character. I wonder if it's... What? Yeah. So wait. Because we're all in costume. Oh, your dress is... Yeah, so my character, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Oh, so you had to wear the same thing every scene you're in? Yep. Every day you shot? Yeah. Did that get get gross uh no no because well they have different right they have copies of it yeah they wash it and everything so so almost probably in some ways more fun than other movies because it's cool to just know what you're gonna wear just walk in knowing what you're gonna wear how to put it on and but i had to wear these like stripper boots which is really hard to wear. They're like seven inch
Starting point is 00:10:25 heels kind of thing. They're really, really hard. Clear heels. Really? Like fish swimming around in them? No. Do they make those types of shoes with fish in them? Yeah. Oh, that's cool. Was that ever a real thing? Probably not for the fish.
Starting point is 00:10:41 I only know that from that Beastie Boys video for Haley. Yeah, I mean, I don't know if it's, you know, how common they are. I'm just thinking about how Lady Gaga would like one-up
Starting point is 00:10:50 the fish in a shoe. She'd put like a shark in her shoe. Yeah. I saw a play on Broadway called Jerusalem. How was it? Mark Rylance is amazing.
Starting point is 00:11:00 He's such a great actor, so he sort of carried the whole thing, but I wasn't uh completely in love with it but one thing that happened was at one point somebody brings him a goldfish and then the goldfish just ends up in different places on the stage for the for like the rest of the show and it just kind of swims around in there like a goldfish would. And I just got really fixated on, that goldfish doesn't even know it's in a play. Maybe it did know.
Starting point is 00:11:29 Like the goldfish doesn't understand why all of a sudden the bag got poked and water's shooting out of it and he's threatening the life of the thing. It's so weird. I wonder if the fish dies after every show. Because most animals, once you're threatening them, they act like they know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:11:44 But fish, man, they just they don't remember swim around like yeah yeah yeah and it and that was funny you mentioned that because in the in the play the fish was voiced by ellen degeneres i wanted to see that i saw how to succeed in business instead yeah and you didn't like it very much no i did not it wasn. It wasn't for me. It's very like standard Broadway, you know, just was not for me. Well, what I think is interesting about it is the premise of the show is sort of like, you know, Ferris Bueller gets a job or whatever, like Matthew Broderick played the part once before. But in the case of Daniel Radcliffe, what I've seen is that he, the character is supposed to be like, he's just really clever and he's just figuring out his way to how to work the ladder just
Starting point is 00:12:29 by making the right connections and stuff. But he is so sincere and earnest that it's not like he's not trying. It's like he's trying really hard. It's like how to succeed in business by trying really hard and doing a lot of the smart things you should do to succeed in business. It doesn't become like a guy, you know, screwing the system. Like a sneaky little...
Starting point is 00:12:47 No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So his face is so open and sweet and he's got this big smile and you're like, oh, I'm glad he got a promotion. And you're like, wait, that's not... No, he just like sent someone to Siberia
Starting point is 00:12:56 and fucked his wife. You should not be glad about this, but... Well, we should do a, you know, Doug Loves Broadway sometime and we can really delve into it because people listening right now are like, this conversation is I don't want to say gay, but it is.
Starting point is 00:13:11 We'll go see Book of Mormon and then talk about it. I did see Book of Mormon. You did? I want to see it. It's really good. Man, I want to see it so bad. But not as good as everybody says it is. Well, then I want to see it kind of bad. Here's my argument.
Starting point is 00:13:25 I'll say this quickly and move on. I think I've even said it on the podcast before. People go, oh, I liked it, and I don't even like musicals. And it's like, no, you liked Book of Mormon. You now like a musical, because it is a musical. It's a lot of singing and dancing. It's not always hilarious jokes about AIDS. It's a lot of, it's a real show with show tunes.
Starting point is 00:13:46 They're good tunes and the dancing's good, but it's still a musical. And you like a musical if you like it. You officially like musicals. Yeah, you're in the club. Go try another one. You might actually like that one too. Kate.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Yes. And both of you, Ricky, were at the Del Close Marathon in New York. Thanks for having us. That was super fun when we did that Thanks for having us. That was super fun when we did that. What a crowd. That was really... I think we're going to make that trailer that we talked about, how Kate and I
Starting point is 00:14:11 starring in our own version of The Change Up, but we switch lives and we have the same life. That's awesome, yeah. Or that could just be you know how videos you don't necessarily have to act out what you're singing. Maybe sometime you could do a video where the story in the video is that you switch lives and nothing. It's just the same.
Starting point is 00:14:28 It's still the same. But the song doesn't have to be about that. It wouldn't be a song. It would just be a movie trailer. I would just hit my head on things because I wouldn't be used to being so tall. Well, that's the thing about the change-up, which I have not seen, full disclosure. But from the trailers and stuff, it's like
Starting point is 00:14:43 the first time the guy realizes he's in the other guy's body is because he just stands up out of what he thinks is his bed and hits his head on something that's not in his bedroom because they've switched but that's like it's like there's a really good chance he could have just gotten up out of bed not crashed into shit right you know what i mean like like you know like you really wake up just because you're in your bed you don't open your eyes and you just stand up and, you know, don't think there could possibly be anything that could get in your way. But but that is a funny idea. If you just that's the only thing for you and for you.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Oh, that's that'd be funny. Like one of them could be you getting turned away from a ride at Disneyland and being this upset because Ricky would never. Like, yeah, you're hitting would never. Like, yeah, you're hitting your head or I guess it would be you acting and then the other, you'd be ducking when you don't need to.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Right. The whole thing is about height the entire time. But our days are identical. That really is the biggest difference. Yeah. Between you.
Starting point is 00:15:43 At least now, yeah. Yeah. I mean, now that you go on the road together and stuff all the time, you probably know more serious differences. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, for sure. Like, you know, one's better at sleeping. Kate's better at sleeping.
Starting point is 00:15:54 She's lighter. She's got a lighter attitude. Yes, she does. And I nap a lot. Yeah. Kate sleeps a lot. She looks at flowers. I do, but I smell them.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Wait, look at that cloud cloud it looks like a dragon and i'm like oh yeah but i like to do those types of things it's just in my nature i guess i like i literally will you know get caught smelling flowers on the road like you know just like walking to get a sandwich and then oh these flowers smell so good and then somebody will look at me like i'm crazy she's really like that. I thought maybe underneath there would be, no. She's happy. Yeah, all the darkest stuff in your songs is you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:34 Yeah. And Kate just plays along. Yep. I'm like, you can be kind, but she's like, I don't know. I'm not saying that word. Then she'll do it. But you're singing it with her. You don't have to sing it solo, right?
Starting point is 00:16:46 No, mostly no. Yeah. But I feel like there's something about when you sing a swear word, it's a lot easier to say. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And it's also seeping into my actual, you know, everyday language. I say the F word a lot more. I couldn't say yeah
Starting point is 00:17:05 you avoided it you avoided it adorably that was effing adorable have you so have you got any movie work
Starting point is 00:17:13 that's in the in the can no you but you're still recurring on Raising Hope yes I'm still
Starting point is 00:17:20 working on Raising Hope but I yeah I mean and it's fun I just went back last week so should be
Starting point is 00:17:25 hopefully a good season. Kate and I have an audition after this to play two members of someone's, like, band on a TV show. We're both going. Oh, that'd be so great if one of you got it and the other one didn't. Well, yeah. But that'd be,
Starting point is 00:17:41 they'd probably cast both of you or neither, right? Because that's kind of the fun of bringing the two of you in for it is that you already are a band it'll i think they brought us in for that but you never know what the people at fox think you never know if they know who we should wear our garfunkel notes jackets yeah especially because it's 90 degrees outside what do you do you know what you have to do for the audition is it um sides with yeah we just have talk you know one of the characters is really nice and and bright and sunny and the other one is the rival of the main girl and she's like kind of bitter and bitchy so i don't know who would play what um i do yeah i know i'm just kidding yeah i do uh they've already assigned you that way no you have to
Starting point is 00:18:20 read for both of them oh okay well that'll be good that's right there you're just practicing body switch movie yeah there we go yeah i know we have the same audition with two characters we to read for both of them. Oh, okay. Well, that'll be good. That's right there. You're just practicing Body Switch movie. Yeah, there we go. Yeah, I know. We have the same audition with two characters. We should just walk into the room together
Starting point is 00:18:29 and insist that we audition together. It'd be really funny if you just launch into it and you just read the, both read all the lines together and you just read the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:18:39 And then force him to hear a song. Probably both parts the whole time. Yeah. We're not done yet. Wait, we're just gonna sing one song for you.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Is this an existing show or is it a new show? It's a new show that're not done yet. Wait. We're just going to sing one song for you. Is this an existing show or is it a new show? It's a new show that hasn't aired yet. Oh, okay. Oh, it's past the pilot stage? Mm-hmm. Oh, so the character
Starting point is 00:18:53 forms a band later. It's not about a band? No. It forms a band later. What's the show called? New Girl. Oh, with Zooey Deschanel. Yep.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Oh, damn. That'd be... The two of you with her, that's too much cute for me or anyone to bear. We don't be both, babe. That show's going to be too cute. Matt Belknap. Yeah. I've been talking to these ladies, ignoring you.
Starting point is 00:19:17 That's all right. But you're like a guest when we do this. Yeah. Yeah. Have you been to the movies lately? Uh, no. I know i know right we're too busy making doug loves movies i know go see movies uh i you know and i have a i always use this excuse but i have to stop but i have a an almost three-year-old daughter so right it's like a big
Starting point is 00:19:38 ordeal to like get a babysitter and go but does she want to go see movies no that's the most heartbreaking part like i i actually wanted to see winnie the pooh i was like i will go see that that's supposed to be good and she was like no no no i don't like the dark and i was like all right wow yeah you really can't but uh i'm trying to i i feel like we've taken her to a couple we've taken her to um tangled which i actually liked um and she she slept through it but then said she liked it afterwards so that was a good it was a good way to do it and um and then she went to like the little mermaid was playing at el capitan and she got scared and and had to leave so it's scary yeah well ursula yeah it's pretty scary and um yeah so maybe that's what did it she just was like no more
Starting point is 00:20:23 but uh she says when she turns three which is in in a month, she's going to be, she'll be ready. So that's what she says. She's planning for when she'll be ready to go. Everything right now is, well, when I'm three, that's, that's her thing is like, she'll do whatever she can't do now. When she, you know, it's going to be when I'm four. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:40 As soon as she gets there, she's like, man, I was wrong. Sorry guys. Three and a half. Yeah. Keep pushing it. Four is the magic number. I'll start going to movies when I'm 21. I want to be able to get drunk first.
Starting point is 00:20:55 I'll be scared of the dark. Take her to see the new Guillermo del Toro movie. That's right up her alley. It's called Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. That's how I'm going to you love it yeah you really afraid scare scare make her realize that everywhere outside the theater is scarier than the inside the theater itself yeah i watched the thriller video in the dark when i was like five and i didn't get over it for ever yeah and my parents like being nice parents they thought i was a michael jackson fan which i was but they
Starting point is 00:21:23 put the thriller poster above my bed yellow eyes oh no and i was so scared of it and i used to like sleep at the bottom of my bed under my covers and then finally one night like after like a week i was like crying my mom comes in and i was like i'm scared of the poster and then she goes oh and she's like took it down and she's like better and i'm like yeah she's like okay did you see the making of the of like they always had that with the yeah you could get the tape and you could watch like an hour of how it was made and that's what made me okay with that video as a little kid because it was like oh yeah it's just pretend and those are contacts yeah yeah yeah you should watch that part i should have i didn't dumb little five-year-old yeah when you
Starting point is 00:21:58 hear michael jackson whining about how bad the contacts hurt it those were giant contacts i remember oh gross you weren't soothed by the disclaimer that michael jackson put on the video about how bad the contacts hurt. Those were giant contacts. I remember going, oh, gross. You weren't soothed by the disclaimer that Michael Jackson put on the video where he said, I do not believe in the occult or things that are occult-like. That was weird. No, because that last shot
Starting point is 00:22:14 was such a shock to me. Why do you have to say that the occult? It's like he's against things that are occult. They really thought that people were going to freak out at this video. Like, they were going to think he at this video. Like, now he, like, they were going to think
Starting point is 00:22:25 he was a Satan worshiper, maybe? I don't know what they thought. I mean, that's not even pertinent to the storyline, but I guess.
Starting point is 00:22:32 Yeah, even in the thing, he's just sort of like, scary movies are fun. Yeah. Like, he's just like, it's all lighthearted.
Starting point is 00:22:37 It's about horror films. It's not about, like, real things happening. We should put disclaimers on our videos. Just that we don't believe in what's going to happen.
Starting point is 00:22:46 We don't believe pregnant women are smug. Ready? Go. We don't believe in handjobs. It's a myth made up by men. We don't even believe in music videos. This is actually not happening right now. Have you seen any movies lately, Kate? You know, I'm just realizing
Starting point is 00:23:01 I went to see Captain America with my dad and the neighbor kids when I was home in Pennsylvania. Oh, that's fun. Yeah, I actually really liked it. I don't know, because usually when there's action happening, I zone out and fall asleep, but I was into it. They focus on character a lot more. You know, Chris
Starting point is 00:23:18 Evans is really good. Yeah, and I liked how they made him look so weak and little in the beginning of the movie. Yeah, yeah. But you wish there was a machine that could turn you into Captain America, right? But the weird thing is I kept seeing him as the little guy throughout the movie. I couldn't erase that idea of him being like... You know what I think they should have tried to do when he was little and scrawny? They should have tried to make his voice not so...
Starting point is 00:23:43 He already had a deep voice. The voice not so like he he already had he already had a deep voice the voice didn't change when he became Captain America so he was always kind of like a deep talker for this little guy he's like I want to I want to sign up I want to fight for my country wait I haven't seen a little guy with a deep man voice how did they how did they make him look little was it just it was totally Benjamin buttoned him oh really yeah yeah it's super cgi stuff but it's really good it's really well done yeah but it's also kind of like that's just you can't stop thinking about it while you're watching it like it's very it draws a lot of attention to it i kept looking around it like like seeing if i could see any imperfection but it really did look amazing yeah but i was like it become captain america already we know that's
Starting point is 00:24:23 where this is going like a on music videos and stuff, I wonder if they use that same technology to make people look skinny and fit. Oh, well, you know, there was that, there was a talk about the Paula Abdul video, something about a brand new day or something. Promise of a new day. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:36 I know a lot about Paula Abdul. She was really stretched out in that one. But all it was is really that they just used one of those like, you know, anamorphic widescreen lenses and and it was but all it was is really that they just used one of those like you know um anamorphic uh widescreen lenses and then and then like formatted differently so it was like when you see a movie yeah yeah it wasn't a fancy technique it was really just like a weird uh i think they were they were claiming oh no it was like an artistic choice but it did happen to make
Starting point is 00:24:59 her look taller and thinner so and she is five foot two so that's uh it was suspicious it was very suspicious uh did you did you say you saw something i saw the conan movie this week have you seen that oh conan won't stop yeah yeah i like that a lot so good did that just come out on video i wish he were more like he is off camera on camera i wish especially now that especially now that they're saying, you know, that the, you know, the ratings aren't great and they're not sure what they're going to do. Like, he should just really, because he is so funny in that movie. Yeah, he's so funny in it. Because like all those years in Late Night, I always thought he was just pretty genuinely
Starting point is 00:25:37 nice and didn't, wasn't that like, he's not terrible to his employees, but. He's in charge. He has, yeah but he he punches people like i never thought of him as a person that would be punching people no no i didn't think of him that way at all and it's funny it's really funny the way he does it like and and just also just how he just uses his humor all day long uh he was going through an especially bad time because of what happened with the tonight show but it's still just funny how he even when he's being mean or telling somebody to do something he does in such a funny way they're like oh okay you can't stop being funny yeah and being on stage that was
Starting point is 00:26:14 the other thing i thought there's a little too much of you know him getting to play play music with people is this kind of like right no one ever wants to see that yeah it's like good for you you got to play with them but yeah we could I want more of your jokes and stuff. Yeah, I liked how he kept having to meet fans backstage, even though he was losing his voice. Because I can totally relate to that. Because that's when I lose my voice, is after the shows. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Because you have to talk to all those people. And then the next day you wake up and you got nothing. Nothing, yeah. Yeah. It doesn't happen to me, because I don't have to sing. The singing element really really puts that extra strain on there yeah and i you know you don't want to be like a bitch being like i'm on vocal rest and you're not supposed to whisper either so you're just
Starting point is 00:26:53 like i don't know so you just talk and lose your voice right like there's no way to look cool and be like sometimes i just have a notebook and kate has to tell people i'm on vocal rest if it's really bad or you could have a tape recorder that just nice to meet you you know yeah that's a good idea okay one of those things that talks when you type like i've used that before oh yeah we were editing something and i used that to tell them what i thought why not some nights just go out and do penn and tellers act yeah we've been pretty close yeah there have been moments where it felt like that. Okay. I would like to introduce a new segment into the program. They'll rarely get to because we always run out of time.
Starting point is 00:27:35 But it's called Doug's Oscars. And it's where I know that at least one person that gets to vote in the Oscars, like one Academy voter listens to this podcast, at least one, maybe there might be two or three, maybe somebody that works in special effects or something. Uh, Oh, that's a fun game. Everybody figure out,
Starting point is 00:27:53 try to figure out who it is. Is this someone who's been on the show? Well, now you're narrowing it down considerably. Okay. Yeah, that's a good point. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:28:00 it's someone who's been on the show. Is it Jerry O'Connell? Yes. He's, he's an Academy member from when he was nominated for Tomcats. I was so happy I came up with a horrible movie that he was in that quickly. Piranha? And that's how you become a member is to get nominated?
Starting point is 00:28:17 You're an automatic member once you've been nominated. There's other ways. But then there's other ways you can be sort of voted in. But you kind of have to have two huge people like like jane fun and jack nicholson have to go hey we want this person in or whatever and i don't i don't think they really i don't think people go to that much trouble to get other people in i think it's more like it's one of those clubs once you're in you're like i'm good i'll see you in there if you ever get in right right i'll see you inside but i wanted to say quickly, I've been wanting to do this for weeks,
Starting point is 00:28:46 and I may have even done it one week and completely forgot that I got it in. But so far, chime in and tell me if you guys have any that you would agree or disagree with. For Best Actor, I think Paul Giamatti should be nominated for Win-Win. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Because he's great in it it and he's always great. Like, the Academy had the nerve to not even nominate him
Starting point is 00:29:09 for American Splendor, which in that year I thought he should have won. That was awesome that Sean Penn said something at the Oscars about it. Yeah, yeah. He's kind of like,
Starting point is 00:29:16 well, there you go. That's almost as good. Yeah, yeah. But Sean Penn also, though, he's like, he's almost Kanye in his, like, I really have to say this. No matter how inappropriate. If Sean Penn went up there and said, I should be nominated for an Oscar, I he's like, he's almost Kanye in his, like, I really have to say this, no matter how inappropriate.
Starting point is 00:29:27 If Sean Penn went up there and said, I should be nominated for an Oscar, I'd be like, fuck yeah. Because Sean Penn also gave Chris Rock a hard time for saying Jude Law's in too many movies. And Jude Law was in five movies at the time, so it's not that mean of a joke. No, we say he's the second choice in all the movies, because they couldn't get other people. Yeah, well, he was in a lot there for a while. But Jude Law, the first few things i saw him and i went this guy's great and then he and and just being in too much and too many movies where he had
Starting point is 00:29:49 boring roles to play he's a good actor like i just saw road to perdition again and he's pretty awesome and i'm normally not at all scared or intimidated by him well yeah it's against type he's like this kind of pretty boy but that role he's like pretty beat up looking and yeah he did a good job um i saw this movie called natural selection that i'm sure you guys haven't seen yet but it was i saw it at south by southwest and uh it won a bunch of awards there including their acting award went to rachel harris yeah i heard that's amazing yeah yeah yeah she is she is so good in movie, and it's such a small movie that I'm afraid that it'll be one of those ones. I'm hoping it'll be like
Starting point is 00:30:29 Winter's Bone or something. It happens. Jennifer Lawrence got nominated. And Winter's... What was the one with Melissa Leo got nominated for? Winter River? Winter... Frozen River.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Winter River. winter river winter the river frozen river frozen river winter river winter river but yeah so i'm hoping that rachel harrison natural selection can get that sort of uh buzz going because she's she's amazing in it and she's she's normally a comedic actress like she played you know the mean ed helms mean wife in the first hangover right so good i don't know if she's in this is she in the second hangover no No. They don't even bring her in to get for him to yell at her again. No. He's got a nice wife. Best supporting actor,
Starting point is 00:31:10 John C. Reilly in Cedar Rapids. Oh my God, he's so good in that movie. Oh my God. So amazingly good. I saw a screening of that movie a while ago and I was just like,
Starting point is 00:31:18 oh, I hope he wins an Oscar. Yeah, he's, but you know, the movie kind of came and went and you know, people seem to like it
Starting point is 00:31:24 but people didn't go crazy over it either. Yeah, but he's a reason to watch it. He is such a reason to watch it. He's so good at it. But the movie's good, too. It's a good movie. And that's on video now. It's a good, funny movie.
Starting point is 00:31:34 You get to see... Ed Helms. No, I was going to say Anne Heche in her underwear. She's sold it together nice. She's hot. She looks good. There's no... Yeah, so she might be from
Starting point is 00:31:45 another planet now i'm like if you can do that to chris evans body maybe she doesn't look good and it's just all cgi i don't think they spend that kind of money on cedar rapids no they just hire a woman that looks good and everywhere but she does i'm gonna go from there uh yeah but it's it's a it's a good one and then um i got two best supporting actress picks um ellen page in super i haven't seen it oh my god so good so good oh i have to see it she's like you know she's like this uh really anxious to also be a superhero along with rain wilson's character and her enthusiasm is ridiculous and it's especially compared to her other roles, it's amazing. She's usually kind of deadpan.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Yeah. And also compared to her in real life, it's amazing. Really? In real life, she's very calm and quiet. And so it's just funny to see her playing such a spazzy character. And then did you guys see,
Starting point is 00:32:38 I love any movie with the word super in it. Did you see Super 8? No, not yet. It's on my list. We're behind on all the Super movies. You've got to see that. And when you do, Elle Fanning,
Starting point is 00:32:48 Dakota's sister, is in it. And she's going to go on to do great things and probably get nominated at some point. But there probably won't be a better performance
Starting point is 00:32:58 in a movie this year than her in that movie. At least in terms of doing a good job of delivering a... You know, like, she has, in that movie at least in terms of at least in terms of doing a good job of delivering us you know uh like she she has in the movie she's acting in a movie and she still she manages to pull off the not being able to act very well thing that's hard for a little kid yeah and then but then also then she pulls off she has a part in it where she acts really well, does a great job of acting,
Starting point is 00:33:26 and the little kid director that's directing her is totally blown away by her, and that's amazing, too. Those fannies are so talented. Yeah, but there's something about this one. This one is just like, because also, I sat through that whole Sofia Coppola movie somewhere, and it wasn't because of Stephen Dorff. No. a fia coppola movie somewhere yeah and it wasn't because of steven dorf no you know it's just because this girl this little girl is really their relationship is what was made that made it worth sitting through and then once it was over you still go but really really do we really like
Starting point is 00:33:53 watch her ice skating for seven minutes and then two different scenes of pole dancers in his room where they dance to an entire song and steven dorf was on my plane to cleveland when i was going there he was also on his way to film a movie not dark knight rises though i don't know something else probably something he was on his way to filming this maybe he's in that i'd met him before and um i think he assumed that i had quit acting and moved to cleveland he goes oh do you live here now and i was like no i'm actually here doing a movie and he was like oh good for you yeah i get that sometimes when i'm on the road they go so you live you live around here? No. Like after a show. I'll be like, yeah, I just came over from my apartment.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Right. You should have been like, do you? Because I haven't seen you in a movie in 10 years. Except that I have. I just saw somewhere. Oh, right, right. He looks like such an actor. But he's in a couple things that are coming out.
Starting point is 00:34:40 I think there's going to be a Stephen Dorff resurgence. Really? I think so, too. And he just looks like an actor. He's kind of ripped and sort of short. You know how they all kind of look like a chiseled kind of face? I would think he was an actor if I didn't know who he was. He's good in somewhere playing a famous actor. He pulls that off very nicely. It's just
Starting point is 00:34:54 a weird movie. I kind of want to see it again. Yeah. Even though the first time or the whole time I was like, really? This is so... It's kind of long. Let's play Build a Title. Oh, what? Yeah. I was getting ready to pull the Len out, but let's do it.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Yeah, or do you have the sound cue ready? Is there a sound cue for Build a Title? You know how everybody that has segments on a show like this, they always have something that didn't ever dawn on me. It's just like, why can't I just say, let's do this, and then we do it. We'll record something for you. Let's do it now. Build a me. It's just like, why can't I just say let's do this and then we do it. We'll record something for you. Build a title. There you go.
Starting point is 00:35:30 You can use that. Feel free to keep that. You might want to use it every single time. Pull that out and drop it. We just made that up right now. We didn't even practice. That's amazing. How did we know what we were going to say? I don't know. It's crazy. You guys are like totally sharing a brain.
Starting point is 00:35:44 The thing I've discovered about build a title is that when you pick a title more often than not half of the title's already a stopper yeah you know because it's just like it's hard to find one that goes yeah and uh like what would be a good example like uh uncle buck oh yeah that might be a double star because nothing ends in uncle oh bucky bucky larson that new movie but then larson's over that new movie uncle bucky yeah yeah that works uncle bucky larson born to be a star star oh and then we go from that then we go from there but I'm just saying the uncle end
Starting point is 00:36:26 would never get anything right unless you could think of something that ends in maybe the word punk oh yeah oh yeah Salt Lake City punk
Starting point is 00:36:35 SLC punk there you go right SLC punk gold buck see so I picked a bad title to make my point
Starting point is 00:36:42 my point with wasn't there the man from uncle but that was a TV show? Yeah, it was a TV show. I'm surprised they haven't turned that into a movie. Where's that? Big comedy star? They should.
Starting point is 00:36:52 They probably will. Or maybe they won't, because I think now they're starting to get burned by the fact that they go, let's take this old thing, and all the adults will want to go. And then the adults say, nah, and then the kids don't know what the thing is right and then it doesn't do that great and a lot of that like did dukes of hazard do that great no and uh they made a sequel some of them yeah they made and then some direct-to-video ones too i think but i spy like there's this yeah i think they just sometimes they just the timing's just not right you know like certainly like josie and the pussycats didn't didn't catch on like some yeah some of those titles really aren't valuable in the current
Starting point is 00:37:29 market like it's it's really you just have to make a good movie and if it happens to have that title so you think like the smurfs is a good movie well no that one little transformers little kids but i think that's the thing is like i think you really kind of have to luck into what thing current kids are going to latch onto the same way the parents did. Cause that's Smurfs is in my mind, I would think adults would be like, I don't want to have anything to do with Smurfs, but,
Starting point is 00:37:54 but, but parents always, they were little when it was popular. I don't even think that's the, I think it's just that parents always need something to take their kids to. And so if, if something comes out, right,
Starting point is 00:38:03 they should remake Thundercats comedy and have everyone dressed as cats. No something comes out. They should remake Thundercats. They are. And have everyone dressed as cats. No, I think they are making a Thundercats movie. Really? Yeah, but I don't know what shape it's going to take. You could have Ben Stoller dressed as a cat. It'd be funny, actually.
Starting point is 00:38:17 I haven't seen a trailer or anything yet, but I was reading about Tower Heist. Yeah, I worked on that. I don't know if you know, but I read scripts for a long time. I'm sort of just getting out of it but I worked for imagine for a long time yeah so I worked on the development of that movie just as a reader just just giving notes on it it was it was your first note you counted you can't call it Trump heist that's what it was gonna be called well Trump was involved in it at one point he was gonna be in it and then and then
Starting point is 00:38:45 uh they were like maybe we don't i can't i probably shouldn't even be talking about it but yeah they moved on i do know that it was a tension supposedly gonna be called trump trump heist now it's just tower heist right now it's just whatever it was it used to take place in trump tower and then they just moved it to a fictional tower it's just some guy it's uh alan alda plays the rich guy i guess nice and um anyway i just there's i haven't seen any of it yet but i i'm strangely excited about it like i think that has potential it's exciting i as an eddie murphy fan from my childhood it's exciting that he's back in a role like like his early roles like trading places and 48 hours where he's like a streetwise guy who who you know he's brought in to help these employees pull off a heist because they don't
Starting point is 00:39:30 know what they're doing you know right right he's like the uh he's like he's like motherfucker jones and horrible bosses that's another one i want to see the jamie fox character kind of teaches them yeah yeah exactly how to do things yeah uh, so I ended up going with, for the build a title, just because I've seen it or not want to condone it in any way, but there's a movie out right now called One Day. Oh, yeah. And I think that's a good starting title. So let's go ladies first.
Starting point is 00:40:00 Matt? One Day of the Condor wow exactly he's already making it he's already making it hard on you everybody um okay kate you can do a movie that ends in the word one oh shoot or condor or or door oh door okay don't you see you're gonna be next yeah or i was gonna say wasn't there a door the explorer movie i don't know um i think there was actually but i don't know what the uh i'm sure there was a semicolon and then uh and then more of a title Okay, so we won't go with that one then. I'll go with the door in the floor. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:50 I thought of that one too. Oh, now floor. In the floor. Yeah, is there any movie that begins with floor? I don't think there's a movie that starts Florida. No.
Starting point is 00:41:05 Florence in the Hendricks. Oh, yeah. Florence. Did they make that into a movie? No, that's Harry and the Hendersons. That's Florence, Henderson, Harry and the Hendersons. And Florence and the Machines. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:17 You could do a movie that ends in the word one. Oh, gosh. Or the number one. Oh, gosh. word one oh gosh or the number one uh um oh gosh uh oh i just thought of one oh you okay pass onto you you're out if you pass oh i am yeah you lose there's nothing at stake okay well then i lose because i can't think of anything um Well, no, I'm not so happy with my choice. I'll do it anyway. 1941.
Starting point is 00:41:50 Oh. Wow. 1941, Day of the Condor in the Floor. Is there one that ends in 19? This one's a title. Love Potion number 1941 Day of the Condor
Starting point is 00:42:07 in the Floor. That's great. Nice. Or as Chris Hardwick would say, amazing. So anything with love. Love Potion number nine, was it? I loved that movie.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Number 1941. I was such a Sandra Bullock fan i mean i still am all right so now you just need some hands in love ah that's easy is it yeah that's crazy stupid easy um maybe crazy stupid love all right stupid, love potion number 1941. Day of the condor in the floor. This is a good one. Yeah. What ends with crazy?
Starting point is 00:42:54 I'm sure this movie. You can help her since she helped you once. I'm sure there's a movie called Call Me Crazy. Oh, you're out anyway. There's a movie called Like Crazy coming out. But then nothing ends in like, so it kind of ruins it. That's my turn anyway, right? Oh, sorry. I'm out.
Starting point is 00:43:05 That's all right. Oh. Oh. Oh! Oh! Crazy stupid love potion number 1941 day of the
Starting point is 00:43:23 condor in the floor Floordinary People. Nice. Nice. Oh. Yeah, so now you've got to end in crazy and begin with people. Okay. People. No, that's a TV show.
Starting point is 00:43:49 I like this game it's fun right yeah I feel like I'm gonna have better luck with crazy cause people that's stumping me yeah there's definitely
Starting point is 00:43:57 wasn't there like a Richard Pryor movie with someone crazy oh thank you stir crazy stupid love potion number 1941 day of the condor in the Florida crazy? Oh, thank you. Stir Crazy Stupid Love. Potion number 1941, Day of the

Starting point is 00:44:43 crazy stupid love potion My first Mr. Crazy Stupid Love Potion number 1941, Day of the Condor and the Flourdinary People. Or Pull. People. My. Oh. I don't know. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:09 I'm sure. Oh, wow. That's good. I'm sure people'm sure people is that a movie yeah i was in it people's okay people's that doesn't really count that's that feels like a stopper yeah oh yeah that would totally end it is there anything that's like am i like why i'm like how high am i yeah i'm trying to think of yeah my is a my is a weird one I'm trying to think if there's a word that kind of ends in my like the way it sounds but I don't think so
Starting point is 00:45:35 I'm sure there's folks listening that'll tweet at me what we overlooked like people treat it like it was so obvious. It's a pretty good one, though. I think we sort of. TMI?
Starting point is 00:45:48 Is there a movie called TMI? If there isn't, there will be. TMY? Yeah. TMI. Too Much You. Yeah, that would work. TMI. Something that ends in my.
Starting point is 00:45:58 Quick, somebody write the script for TMI. I bet there is. Me or my. Anyway, that was a pretty good one. Yeah. People are crazy. There's got to. Anyway, that was a pretty good one. Yeah. People are crazy. There's got to be a movie that starts with people.
Starting point is 00:46:08 Yeah. People of the... Yeah. Let me plug it into Len Moulton and see what happens just out of curiosity. And then we will play the Len Moulton game.
Starting point is 00:46:16 People are people. The movie based on that song. People of the... There's got to be some people of the... Oh there's people versus larry flint oh yeah there you go and then so i guess i don't need to look it up but that's i mean does it matter that that's actually the people versus larry flint no you take out the you can take that out yeah yeah yeah people versus larry flint like interested like What about interested into the wild?
Starting point is 00:46:47 Into the wild. Flynn to the wild? Yeah, that works. To the wild things. Wow. Things to do in Denver while you're dead. Dead ringers. Oh man, this is ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:47:05 What if we could never stop? We can't. Ringers. Oh. Oh, man. This is ridiculous. Ringers. What if we could never stop? We can't. Ringers. Ringers is a pretty good stopper, I think. Ringers. Because there's no reason for a movie to begin with that word. Ringers.
Starting point is 00:47:18 Ringers. Hers. Hers. Let's type that in and see what happens. Hers. Hers, mine, and ours. Ringers, mine mine and ours ringers no results according to leonard all right i'm just going to read it then we'll call it we'll call it a day on this one my first mr crazy stupid love potion number 1941 day of the Condor and the Floordinary People
Starting point is 00:47:46 versus Larry Flint the Wild's Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead Ringers. Wow. Put that on your fucking marquee. Woo! For those who were asking,
Starting point is 00:48:00 it's time for the Leonard Maltin game. Matt's setting it up, but for those who were asking, Marc Maron did not qualify for the Tournament of Championships in the last episode because he got a movie in zero names. He got Adaptation, and the category was movies with twins in it.
Starting point is 00:48:18 And he got it in zero names, but you gotta go negative to get into the Tournament of Championships now because too many people are qualifying. So the pressure is on. You are qualifying. So, yeah. So the pressure is on. You've got to step it up, guys. We've got enough players for a whole other tournament already lined up,
Starting point is 00:48:33 so now it's people just getting alternate slots. Doug, what would happen? Because some of the people that are in are way too busy to show up when I need them to. What would happen if you qualified for the tournament or championship? I would have to recuse myself, I guess. Or we could work out some nutty angle, but that would be weird. It would be. It would be weird if suddenly I'm competing in the thing.
Starting point is 00:48:54 Yeah, it doesn't feel right. Yeah, and I would feel terrible if I lost because it is my – people are always surprised that Leonard Maltin's bad at it, but he just doesn't – he's got too much of this stuff in his head to remember at all yeah he passed that point of being like he there's probably a point in his life where he knew he could have done it so well and then he just went past that point and now it's just like probably a hornet's nest of information tmi yeah he makes it sound like he just he never really knew he just doesn't have that kind of brain yeah for yeah he said he doesn't have a brain for the the names of everybody but then he likes to list a lot of names because he does like actors you know that's nice of him yeah all right guys you ready
Starting point is 00:49:34 yes yes here come the categories i don't know who's who's starting do we care um let's start with uh kate and go around this way and then another thing are we a team or no no you're all playing individually the three of us. We'll bid around in this direction and then every round we change direction so that it doesn't create the same dynamic each time. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:49:56 You guys have been on the show a lot. I apologize if any of these ideas have already been, not the movies but the categories. Oh, category ideas. It's hard to. There's only so many. Just yell out if you feel like this is familiar uh simon and hall that would be for garfunkel and oats that is uh movies with either a garfunkel with either a simon and garfunkel song or a hall and oats song oh cool a song in the movie yes wow
Starting point is 00:50:22 that's that's tough it could be either on the soundtrack or someone else is performing it or whatever. And actually, there's one of these movies has both. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:50:31 What? That's not going to help you because I didn't really remember that about that movie. It just happened. It was a coincidence. And the one where it's both
Starting point is 00:50:39 was the Garfunkel... Was the... Was the Simon and Garfunkel song sung by the Lemonheads i'm not gonna answer that but i think the answer is no because they did a cover of mrs robinson that might have been in something i think that was in mall rats yeah probably that's not that's not okay anyway uh another category dynamic duets uh duets meaning female duos that's movies with two female co-leads um also for you guys and then this is just a leftover example of that would be milo and otis
Starting point is 00:51:10 were they both female i think so okay what if that had been one of mine you would have ruined it um and then i said that one this is a leftover from the last time i ran the game but it applies to you guys too uh it's uh rock stars this is movies with pop or rock stars acting in it cool all right god at all so you're obsessed with music matt loves music do i so i'll pick so you pick a category i'll take the simon and hall category okay we got 94 98 but we don't do years anymore oh we don't oh okay i mean we we don't choose we he just says the year and then we i didn't i didn't know i didn't know if we were sticking with that in the studio or what we're doing it's you know it's it's all right move it along all right well then pick like the most recent one that's the one most people would pick anyway okay this is 2000... Wait. Unless they're zoning in on something.
Starting point is 00:52:06 Right. 2009. There's eight names. And Len gave it two and a half stars. It's clever at times, but heavy-handed. What year? 2009.
Starting point is 00:52:23 And it's got either a Colin Oates or a... Or the other one in it. Simon and Garfunkel, yeah. Wait, what year are we in now? 2011. Oh, I think I know what it is. I think I might know, too. We might have to go into some negative names.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Should I just say negative three? If you think you can name the top three people in order, top billing? Negative two. Negative two. Okay, so now Ricky has to either go negative three. I don't know if I can name three in order, though. I don't know who third billing would be in this movie. That's a good question, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:58 I'm nervous. So you have to either go negative three or you have to get her to do it. This got serious really quick. It's funny that we all think we know what the movie is. And it could totally be wrong. I'm pretty sure I know what it is. What would be the third? It's totally the movie we talked about last year.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Oh, that's hilarious. You were totally pre-gaming it. Who would be third? We know people in this movie. But who would be the third person though? That is like, who would be, we know people in this movie. If it's the movie, we're talking about third person though. That is, that is like,
Starting point is 00:53:28 who would be next in line? Uh, like some father character. Um, all right. You're going to have to possible. You guys are all thinking of a different. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:53:40 exactly. But so since you, since you're probably not going to be able to think of it. Yeah. Okay. Name that movie. So you got to name it. Is it to think of it. Yeah, okay, name that movie. So you've got to name it. Is it 500 Days of Summer?
Starting point is 00:53:49 Well, you have to name the two names. Oh, shit. It is 500 Days of Summer. Oh, yeah. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Billy Deschanel. Boom! Who was the third? Was it Jeffrey Aaron?
Starting point is 00:53:58 Jeffrey Aaron. That's what I was going to say! Oh, you both knew it! I was going to say that, and then I lost confidence. I would have never pulled that name. I was just thinking Chloe Grace Moretz. She's probably like seventh build or something. She's next.
Starting point is 00:54:11 She is next? Our friend is in that movie. I was thinking him, too. I wasn't sure if it was Matthew or Jeffrey. Yeah. He's an Indian dude? No, he's the other friend. He's like the doctor friend.
Starting point is 00:54:23 Because he's got two buddies that he is commiserating with all the time. So Kate's got a point. By the way, that was the movie that has both. Hold on. It's got. Sound of Silence? What I Want. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:35 We were talking about that on the way over here. Oh, and it has a Simon Garfunkel song in it because they kind of parody The Graduate at one point. It's got You Make My Dreams and Bookends, which I don't even know. Man, I should have just guessed it. Damn. But yeah, we all figured it out from that, that that was a Hall & Oates song in that musical number. I mean, that one, because that's one that really stood out as far as a movie with a
Starting point is 00:54:54 Hall & Oates song. Yeah. I tried to do ones that like it was, it wouldn't be like just incidental where you wouldn't even know. I was like, it's either that or old school. That was exciting. What's in old school it's not you know when you get it's a parody of um that whole dart in the neck scene is so funny just i
Starting point is 00:55:17 i feel weird yeah and what's the name of the guy with three names Sean William Scott his reaction is so funny so good yeah that's a really great alright Kate's on the board
Starting point is 00:55:32 with a point that's like a funny scene in a movie where you could just watch that scene and not know any context not know anything about the movie and it's just
Starting point is 00:55:39 a funny scene totally it's just funny I mean that movie has a few of those cause anytime a mascot like catches on fire when trying to jump to a hoop is hilarious.
Starting point is 00:55:50 Kate's got a point. She's now an alternate in the next tournament of championships. Already? If Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright, Jon Hamm, if people like that can't make it, then you'll be in. We have a good shot here
Starting point is 00:56:07 oh no just my luck they'll all be available no I don't think so I'll be waiting for the phone Mad Men just started you know shooting a new season
Starting point is 00:56:14 so I'm not gonna hear from that guy for I'm so excited though 8 or 9 months I wanna be on that show so badly you're gonna be really good on that show fuck they won't let me audition
Starting point is 00:56:21 what do you mean they won't let you audition they've never had me like in are they totally pulling a it's not that they won't it's not that What do you mean they won't let you audition? They've never had me in. Are they totally pulling a... It's not that they won't. It's not that they're like, we don't want her. It's just I've never
Starting point is 00:56:29 been up for anything. You look sexy. I couldn't think of the name of the lady that showed up dressed as Catwoman or Warren. Oh, Sean. Oh, Sean Young.
Starting point is 00:56:36 Oh, yeah. I was going to say, you're the Sean Young of Mad Men. He shows up every day dressed as... Hi. Chain smoking. Yeah. Hey, guys. chain smoking like hey guys let me read just
Starting point is 00:56:47 let me read yeah you'll be blown away yeah okay sorry okay uh so where are we moving on to ricky so no it starts with me because they went head to head oh good call thank you goes to kate so do you want uh dynamic duets or um rock? Those are the only three categories we got for the whole game. Yeah, but there's lots of movies in each one. Okay. So we can keep going back. I know. Yeah, I don't like any of those categories, though, because I'm not really a music person.
Starting point is 00:57:16 But let's go with the duets thing. Okay. This is two female leads. Yeah. And we're going to go 87. Or should I go more? I like this 87. I'm going to stick with 87.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Okay. It's tricky, but you guys are really good at this game, so I feel like you need a tougher one. Two women are in it, or two women are in the title? Or it could be either. No, not in the title, just two leads. It's a movie about two women. A two-fister, as they call it in the business.
Starting point is 00:57:44 Do they call it that? I don't think so they do they shouldn't it's disgusting horrible yeah um all right so the year is 1987 three stars and um let's see what did leonard say it's raucously funny. Perfect showcase for the two ladies in the leads. What year? 87. How many names? That's the part I was skipping. 10 names.
Starting point is 00:58:17 10. Oh, geez. All right. I'll knock a few off. I'll start with like four. Four names. I'll go with negative two. What?
Starting point is 00:58:26 Name that movie. I don't know. I could be so wrong. I could be so, so wrong. You're just going to give it to her like that? Oh, well, I can't do it negative three because I don't know what it is. Oh, wait, but this is the same order. We did go the wrong way.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Oh, yeah. I don't know what else to say. Should have gone the other way. But you didn't know it, right? But I think I might, but I don't know. You don't know negative two? No, I only know two. Alright. Oh, I think. Oh, wait. I'm saying if we do the bidding in the right direction,
Starting point is 00:58:57 you could say negative two. Oh, but then she would say negative three, right? Maybe. Don't ask her. She doesn't have to reveal that. It's like poker. But to be in the proper order, you should go. Yeah, it's her turn. Negative two. She says negative two.
Starting point is 00:59:08 I thought you didn't even know it, though. This is crazy. She suddenly thinks she knows it. Actually, no, I don't know the third name, so name that movie. Postcards from the Edge? No, sorry.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Oh, is it the one with Bette Midler? No. It wasn't the one. What did you think it was? I thought it was Thelma and Louise. Rockously funny. Rockously funny? I thought it was maybe that one where Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler switch bodies.
Starting point is 00:59:28 You're so close. It's Bette Midler and Shelley Long. And Shelley Long. Outrageous Fortune? Outrageous Fortune, yeah. Rockously funny? That movie's terrible. I hit it down to three.
Starting point is 00:59:37 It was that one. Is it terrible? I remember liking it. It's gotta be terrible. Oh, I thought it was funny when I was a kid. Doesn't George Carlin show up as an Indian or something? George Carlin's in it. Is Thelma and Louise Not funny
Starting point is 00:59:45 It's got funny parts Well it's hilarious When they die at the end Spoiler alert You know what's so funny Is I just The rape scene Hilarious
Starting point is 00:59:52 I just could picture The VHS box At the local movie store When I was a kid And I was like That could have been 87 I don't know if it was Yeah
Starting point is 01:00:00 A little later I think But You guys were so crazy With the negative names You didn't even have the right movie. That was awesome. That's exciting play. Okay, so once again, that was...
Starting point is 01:00:11 So she didn't get the point. I do? Yeah, because she didn't... Yeah, because I didn't know it. She couldn't do it. Oh. Shoot, you had gotten it wrong no matter which direction we went in,
Starting point is 01:00:18 but at least you'd get the point instead of me. And then... And then you pick again, right? Yeah, now we start with V, and this time we do go to Kate, right? i don't yes we go back to clockwise yes even though the same thing will probably happen between the two of you again negative seven um all right so i get to pick again yeah rockstar we just named a bunch of lady duo movies so we probably burned a lot of them uh you can go back to beaches was
Starting point is 01:00:45 raucously funny um they're not all bett midler movies okay i'll do uh yeah that was funny switches with her they're twins like lily tomlin and bett midler and they're oh they get put they're they're both i'm gonna look that up because the city one's in the country big business yeah yeah risky business i knew I was wrong. I don't even think, maybe not even big business, but something about business. No, I think you're right. Big business. Let me look it up. I'll go with the rock star
Starting point is 01:01:14 category. Let me look up the Bette Midler movie first. I'll do some plugs. Oh, yeah, go ahead. My record, Potty Mouth, is coming out on Tuesday, August 30th. Yay!

Girls of summer. Sounds like a real sausage fest. And then you must have something out on the road or something. Coming to Arizona. Where? September 2nd through 4th. And then San Francisco at Cobbs the following weekend. Nice. And then San Diego, I think, soon?
Starting point is 01:02:23 San Diego. Gosh, I don't know what that date is. And then Chicago at I think soon San Diego Gosh I don't know What's San Diego And then Chicago At the end of September San Diego I think we're doing Somewhere in San Diego I literally
Starting point is 01:02:31 Google myself To find out my schedule I look at our website To find out where we're going Because I never know So Kate knows our schedule Better than me
Starting point is 01:02:39 Yeah I think And we're in Chicago At the end of September Which will be awesome What's that thing you call Mainstage M-A-Y-N-E. Yes.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Have you been there? It's a beautiful facility. It's awesome, right? It's beautiful. Really nice. It's kind of a weird spot, but it's nice. It is kind of off the beaten track. It's over by, it's kind of in Evanston more than Chicago.
Starting point is 01:02:58 It's like North Chicago, they call it sometimes. Ah. But it's good. You'll have a good time there. I'm going to be at Crackers in Indianapolis, Comedy Attic in Bloomington, Indiana, Louisville Improv, but all my tour dates are at Douglovesmovies.com. What was
Starting point is 01:03:12 the answer? It's called Big Business? Big Business. Two sets of twins are mismatched and separated at birth. Hilarious. So like Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler are both playing two parts and they both sets grew up together separately. One in the country one of the city yeah it's like um it's kind of like that paris hilton show with a simple life with
Starting point is 01:03:32 nicole richie yeah yeah but there's two sets double double it double it and have them switch but it's it's all like you know i haven't seen it in forever yeah i might have saw it when it came out but it's all stuff like you know this pair of twins doesn't know how to operate a washing machine dripping in diamonds yeah that's ridiculous okay so uh i'll take the rock star category got it um okie doke 2002 um how many names i have to count them uh 10 just 10 names and uh let's see what we have here familiar underdog formula but uh it's got grit and resonance 10 names 2002 oh i'm sorry three stars three stars from lynn for this movie that has a rock star in some role.
Starting point is 01:04:27 And the year is? 2002. And the rock star is? I can't say that part. Ten names? Yeah. I'll start at seven. All right.
Starting point is 01:04:42 And this time we go to Kate. Oh, jeez. You think you know it again no i don't know i think i might i i'm not sure how about uh you said seven yeah oh gosh five uh two what are the clues again uh it's let's see it's an underdog uh formula but it's got grit and resonance it's from 2002 three stars and there is a pop rock or other star in in the movie yeah i just i fear one name is going to just leave me in such a hole that I can't survive. But I think the two-name bid is pretty confident. I got to say name it.
Starting point is 01:05:34 You got two names. And I think you'll know at least one of these people. Taryn Manning. That's the one. And Anthony Mackie. Maybe you know him, too. I don't know. I, I know. That's the one. And Anthony Mackie. Maybe you know him, too. I don't know. I think I know.
Starting point is 01:05:48 Oh. I was thinking. It was great. Oh, what is that movie? It's like, it's hard out there for a poop. Is that the one? No, I think it's a different movie. I'm going to get a point.
Starting point is 01:06:02 This is going to be an exciting three-way tie. Is it Crossroads? Britney Spears? I know she was in that. Tara Manning was in that. She probably had higher billing than that, though. I thought it was. No?
Starting point is 01:06:15 Britney Spears would have been the top billing. Oh. No, well, that's the bottom. Oh, it's the bottom. Right. Oh, I'm forgetting how that thing works. Going bottom up. No.
Starting point is 01:06:23 I'll keep going and see if you guys. it the pimp movie that Craig Brewer directed I thought it was 8 Mile it is 8 Mile that's why I said I thought it was 8 Mile but then I thought the names were flipped I said that I didn't hear you say that outsmarted yourself
Starting point is 01:06:39 I didn't know it was the bottom two damn it that's how it always works you it was the bottom two Damn it That's how it always works You read from the bottom up But when you name the movie When you name it you gotta go the other way Man I was like I think it's 8 mile If you said negative 2 then you'd have to go
Starting point is 01:06:58 Eminem It would be Eminem and Kim Basinger No Kim Basinger is number 2 Alright It's all tied up one a piece That was so stupid and Kim Basinger? Brittany Murphy. Yeah. No, Kim Basinger is number two, yeah. All right. It's all tied up. One apiece. That was so stupid.
Starting point is 01:07:11 I think it's eight miles, but no. Crossroads. Yeah, Makai Pfeiffer's in there. He should be second. How did I mess that up? I was thinking that at first I thought it was eight miles as well,
Starting point is 01:07:19 but then I got confused the same way you did. I thought the names were switched around. All right, it's a three-way tie. We each have one point. This is not this so wait now yeah kate picks right because you guys between us yeah and then it'll come my way after kate do you want another simon and hall do you want another uh dynamic duets let's do another simon and hall okay i'm gonna go to old school do you want i like when you guys pick the year but because like i like having the choice
Starting point is 01:07:52 taken out of my hands but do you want easy now i don't load a bunch of them i just load yeah you want hard okay 2005 seven names one and a half stars. Oh, gosh. Premises icky without being pointed. I thought that was a funny thing to say in a review. Icky without being pointed? Yeah. How many names did you say? Seven.
Starting point is 01:08:17 It's vaguely gross, I think, is what he's saying. That might be misleading, though. I'll go with... What's the other... The premise is icky. Yeah. Without being icky. It's... I don't think I The premise is icky. Yeah. Without being icky. It's... I don't think I want to go any further with that,
Starting point is 01:08:28 but it's one and a half stars, 2005, seven names. And it's... icky. The premise is icky. That might be misleading. Yeah. I feel bad for giving you that clue. What's the year?
Starting point is 01:08:39 2005. I'll give you one more. Pretty close to grave robbing, says Len. Oh, interesting. Pretty close to grave robbing, says Len. Oh, interesting. Pretty close to grave robbing. Six names. Five names. Four.
Starting point is 01:08:57 Ah, shoot. Wait, wait, we went the wrong way again. Oh, we did? Yeah, yeah, because it goes back around this way. Six names. You're used to the old way again. We did? Yeah, because it goes back around this way. Six names. You're used to the old way. I'll say five. Four.
Starting point is 01:09:13 Three names. Wow. It's icky and you get three names. I could really take this. Two names. I don't know if I could pull it off. I thought you were saying two names. You're contemplating two names. I don't know. I don't know if I could pull it off. Oh, I thought you were saying two names. No, I'm contemplating two names.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Yeah, yeah. Because if I say two, I'm going to probably have to name it. But that'll be an exciting ending. I'll say two. Name it. Well, the good news is you know these actors. Okay. The bad news is you probably don't remember this
Starting point is 01:09:47 movie uh but you'll have like uh manis suvari and christopher mcdonald some call him shooter manis suvari christopher mcdonald who who is in in the aforementioned Tellment Louise. Right, that's true. He was the bad husband, right? No confirmation on whether he was the bad husband? Oh, man. It was icky the premise just the mere the mere idea of this story was yeah it's icky and minas avari's and it's seventh build pretty close to grape robbing seventh build like
Starting point is 01:10:39 probably like fourth or fifth build in american beauty and then i'll give you the well i don't know i this isn't fair you don't have to give me anything well the ricky wins fair and square the grave robbing line is um maybe a little misleading because the full sentence was if blank were dead oh if blank didn't still live this would be pretty close to grave robbing but it's not a person i shouldn't have even this is very confusing yeah but once you once you hear it you'll be like all right we'll just uh we'll declare ricky the winner and just name some more names okay uh richard jenkins this is like packed with richard jenkins is awesome richard jenkins
Starting point is 01:11:30 mark ruffalo shirley mclean okay wait a second stop for a second it's only two left this is crazy kevin costner this is crazy kevin costner and jenn? Yes. She's getting married. Rumor has it. Oh, that was the part I should have been hammering is that it either has a Hall & Oates or Simon & Garfunkel song in it. And of course because it's sort of about The Graduate or it's about
Starting point is 01:11:58 supposedly who The Graduate was based on. It's Kevin Costner's character. Rumor has it. Wow. Yeah, rumor has it. yeah rumor oh yeah icky is right and grave robbing because you know the the people that made the graduate are still alive yeah well the movie the movie lives you know and looms large in everyone's conscience and i don't think they really they must have had some kind of permission from someone somewhere that was highly confusing yeah yeah premise grave robbing i was like is it like a thing where they like cut open his body and also like did you want it hard or this is that was the hardest man suvari had such shitty billing like now i remember yeah she was in that she had a pretty
Starting point is 01:12:34 pointless role i mean the whole thing was pointless it was such a horrible movie like one and a half stars is also super generous let's let Let's clean the palette with something that isn't so confusing and misleading. Yeah, you want to play one for no points? Sure. Yeah, Ricky wins. Okay, write down on this piece of paper who you'd like me to call a shithead at the very end. Anybody?
Starting point is 01:12:59 Yeah, anybody. Anybody? I'm going to go back to, because we only did one from this category, I'm going to go back to, because we only did one from this category, I'm going to go back to that. I'm bad at calling people a shithead. Well, you can, you know, it can be an inanimate object.
Starting point is 01:13:11 It could be like flowers are a shithead. Somebody on the last show said apps are a shithead. Oh, yeah, yeah, okay. Any of the new candidates for president? No, that's, yeah. Well, let me, I'll think on the shithead thing. Are we going to play another round? Do you want to do one?
Starting point is 01:13:26 You got to think on it? Yeah, I really do. How about no one is a shithead? Oh, yeah. That's such a sweet one. Hold on. The concept of this thing that I'm doing is a shithead.
Starting point is 01:13:41 Naming a shithead is a shithead. Oh, I like that one. I might have misspelled it, but that's all right. Okay, so do you want to do one more just for fun?
Starting point is 01:13:53 Sure, yeah. You guys have an audition to get to. Well, we can do one more and then let's do it. 2008, Dynamic Duets,
Starting point is 01:14:00 two female leads, 13 names, two and a half stars. It's bland, but certainly watchable, says Len, and I think he's being too hard. What's the category again? Dynamic Duets,
Starting point is 01:14:18 two female leads. Okay, two female leads. It's bland. How many names? 13 for some reason he went crazy on the names for this one where do we start
Starting point is 01:14:28 this time we start with Kate oh we do oh but we go this way let's do because that was
Starting point is 01:14:35 going that way six names six names I want to say name that movie I feel like it's really going to be hard name that movie. I feel like it's really going to be hard.
Starting point is 01:14:46 Name that movie. Wow. Whoa. Okay, here we go. I say wow too much, I just realized. Six? Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:14:56 James Reborn. Rebhorn? Dennis O'Hare. Siobhan Fallon Hogan. Okay. I like her. John Hodgman. I think you guys know. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:15:09 Holland Taylor. Oh, jeez. How many? Is that five? Am I at five now? Five, I think, yeah. She gets six names? And Maura Tierney.
Starting point is 01:15:18 Jesus. Wow. Boy, you're one shy of a real giveaway. Really? Dang it. Maura Tierney. Is that 13 names? Too it. Laura Tierney. Is that 13 names?
Starting point is 01:15:26 Too many. 2008? 2008. Two female leads. I think Lynn was, I think it was better than two and a half stars, frankly. Oh, gosh. One name away from a giveaway. I, you know what? I think so.
Starting point is 01:15:44 I don't what I don't I don't I could sit here all day I know what do you think it is oh yeah I don't read lips I think you're right
Starting point is 01:15:51 what but I won't I'll give up because I think Ricky Ricky has it but one of you said is it Baby Mama
Starting point is 01:15:58 it is Baby Mama yay good job was Dax Shepard the next name no Steve Martin Steve Martin as the Martin as the boss. As the boss.
Starting point is 01:16:07 Greg Kinnear. Steve Steeler. Yeah, Greg Kinnear's in it. Obviously, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Man. Dax Shepard, Romany Malco. It's a good cast. I like that movie.
Starting point is 01:16:16 It's a funny movie, yeah. I actually set out to do three, I tried to find three comedies with two female leads, and I couldn't find the third one. In the history of movies. In the history of film. Yeah. No i was trying to keep it like somewhere in the 80s 90s but uh no but even if you did go through the history of film be hard yeah that's why my third one was going to be uh thelma and louise but you guys uh uh you guys were all over that even in the wrong year we went all over the place today didn't we we, guys?
