My name is Doug and cinema is my thing. This is Doug loves moviesies recording on Thursday, May 30th, 2024. This is this month's bonus episode that you get for free, just like the other four episodes each month. And my guests today are phoning it in, as it were,

from all over the place. And they are Greg Barrett, Mary Santora and Troy Tate. Hello everybody. Hi. Hey man. Hello Doug. Hello. Let's meet them individually and alphabetically

and they'll also be meeting each other. First of all, it's great to have him back, a hilarious stand up comedian comedian and best-selling author is Greg Barrett. Happy New Year, Greg. Happy New Year to you, Doug. Thank you. Do you have a specific thing you're promoting right now?

Because we're friends, but a publicist inspired this booking. Yes, yes, yes. I wrote a memoir called Catch me on the way down and It's about my struggles with cancer and addiction it's hilarious And it's available on ever and calm and that's the only place you can get it. So there you go. There's the plug Well, there's you know, two hilarious subjects there that you can't get canceled for. You can't, you just, those things happen. And tragically, and I'm glad you're out on the other side

and have a whole book about it. Our friend Paul Shear just put out a book about his trauma That's people seem to like and I apologize for bringing up some other book when you're here. No, that's totally You're the one that's here. I Am one here, but I'm happy for Paul Shears book and let me tell you there's been a run on trauma and People just seem to love it and especially comedians. So I got caught in that way Yeah, you might as well, you know contribute because people can't hear it enough

You know both for just that there are your own curiosity, but also just the inspirational Aspect of it, you know, like why go through all that and not try to help others that will certainly face the same things. Yeah, what I like to say Doug is that I battled two different types of cancer and addiction problem and I married a vegetarian so I have been through hell. Also joining us today, tearing it up in New York City. Wait, I read that wrong. Tearing up everywhere in New York City. Yes, that's way more accurate.

I cry every day. It's Mary Santora. Happy New Year. Hey, happy New Year. Excited to be here. Greg, I'm also in recovery and in a relationship with a vegetarian. So got a lot in common going on here. Now there's a book you could relate to and you could probably teach you some things. Yeah, yeah, definitely

But what else is going on you see you've five months or in New York now and we were talking before the show it's exhausting It's so I've never been this tired man Like I was living in Cleveland, Ohio forever and I you know, I did everything in the Midwest I was top of my game so I didn't really have to try and then I come out here It's like starting over man. Like I'm out every night. I work, you know in radio still during the day and so it's just it's long days It's a lot of frustration. I mean, it's amazing But it's also so tiring and so it's just, it's long days, it's a lot of frustration. I mean, it's amazing, but it's also so tiring and so stressful, but incredible at the same time.

It's very strange. It's a very complicated mix of emotions, but yeah. Yeah, I'd say the number one thing that got me through living in New York for a year was knowing that it was going to end, that I was going to not be a permanent New Yorker. The idea of being there all the time, it does really, truly tire me out. It's like I go home or like on the road and I look forward to it

because I'm like, man, just a day where I don't have to do anything. Like no one expects anything of me. I don't have to ride a subway. I can I can just relax and lay in sleep and not feel guilty about it. Yeah, if I was if I was a comic living in New York I would use the winter months as a huge excuse to you know book gigs and all the Spots that remain somewhat warm During those months, you know, it's it's not no surprise by that

Like a lot of New York comics have like an extensive tour through Florida in January. I moved here in January, dude. Oh no. It was terrible. I moved here in January. I don't know anything. I'm getting on the wrong subways. I'm walking a mile to the train in the cold.

And I'm in like my prime Ohio, like winter fat stage. And it was, man, it was January and February were rough so much chafing it was so bad oh well let me tell you this also everyone's been saying New York just had the mildest winter they've had in a minute oh perfect it's all flip-flopping everywhere. The weather's going absolutely crazy and as I get older, I cannot get enough talk about it. But our third guest joining us today beat his own brother in a church in order for this to happen. It's Troy Tate. Hello, Troy. Hey, Dylan. It was good to see you in that former church that's now the Commonwealth Comedy Sanctuary.

If you need a spot in the Cincinnati area, Greg or Mary, to do your stand-up, I highly recommend it. It's a great spot. We can all come together and laugh. It's such a fun spot. It's like they really converted it nicely. It doesn't feel too churchy. And it's just the acoustics and everything about it is really great. And it's like just in a nice little neighborhood.

And shout out to Galactic Fried Chicken, which as I understand it, Troy, you treated yourself to some after the Douglas movies taping. Is that true? Absolutely true, Doug. I don't go to Commonwealth sanctuary without stopping by Galactic Fried Chicken, too. It was amazing. Like it is every time. Yeah, it's a what do you call it gluten free fried chicken? Mm-hmm. You were right.

Yeah. That's all you need to say about it. If that sounds good to a person, I think they're going to be pleased. Now, your brother who you defeated will be, of course, I'm just going to use your last name in the listing for this episode to trick people into listening. They're going to be Jeff. Now, your brother is going to be back on the show when I do it in Portland in July. But before we play some games today, I would like each one

of you is kind of a gotcha question because if you're not ready for it, sometimes it's hard but I'd like each one of you to recommend a movie let's let's start with you Troy because you're not you just answered this question a few weeks ago. I'm ready I've even I've been to the theater since I saw you last. Oh yes there's a motion picture in a theater you enjoyed so much that you would tell people to do the same. Yes it It was the movie if really? John Krasinski. Yes. I was not very mixed

reviews Troy. You're really sticking your neck out for this PG rated fantasy film. I enjoy it. The critics didn't like so much. Well, I'm it's not often the critics and I agree You know that?

That's true. That's true. Well, so what did you like best about it because it to me it looks almost like a little too childish for my speed But you know, I love to be told I'm wrong There was at least as much for adults as there was for kids in the movie. It makes you reflect on when you used to be young. And it really hits that. Oh, great.

But it's fun. It's a good movie and it's well made, it's well shot. It's nice to look at. The wardrobe's cool. Our imaginary friends are very interesting characters It was it was enjoyable You know defend right, you know why you'd like to because you know, yeah, there's something for everybody and I'm still not convinced this one's for me.

But I'll definitely watch it because all these things roll around on the- Did you ever have an imaginary friend when you were growing up? I don't think I did really. I think I had what some people call just an imagination. I just made all the characters up and, you know, made them all do stuff. I don't know if I had like ever had one friend that I relied on. But this is a true story. My daughter when she was three had an imaginary friend that hated her. Oh, wow. And it was bizarre.

Yeah, that doesn't sound, that sounds like a low self-esteem issue, but maybe not out really so, you know what I mean? It was dark and kind of funny. Okay, Barry, what's your, I know you like the horror movies. Have you seen one lately that you loved? So you just recommend any movie? Yeah. Okay, well this is hard.

Well, one that I had forgotten was as good as it, and it's not a horror movie, but I was talking with a friend about it the other day. One of the movies that I saw that when I was watching, it like blew my mind, and Doug Doug I'm on record on this show as loving a good figure-em-out also known as a whodunit or a mystery. Yeah. We were talking about Inside Man and I was like forgot how much I loved that movie and that was one of those movies that at the end I was like, I never saw that coming.

Inside Man, Spike Lee? Yeah, Denzel Washington and some other guy with an accent. Clive Owen. Clive Owen, yeah, that's the accent guy. Yeah. I was going to guess that Clive Owen was why you were into it, but he you don't even really know his name You're more into the the plot than I was into the actors Yeah, yeah sure it came out when I was in high school

And I remember so I probably hadn't seen very good men like a lot of good movies at that point But I was just talking with a friend about that movie the other day and I was like man. I gotta watch that again Jodie Foster's in that too. Uh-huh. All right. It's coming back to me now. I think I liked it. It's you know, it's interesting when somebody like Spike who so tends to be you know, so creative and do so much that you notice as a director for him to do something that's more straightforward like that is interesting. Does he see you just saw it again recently? No, I was talking with a friend about it. We were talking about Denzel Washington and that movie came up.

So this recommendation is based on your fondness for it in the past. But you're going to see it again soon. Is that the idea? Yes. Yes. That it's top of mind because I was just having a conversation about it. I like it. I like the nerve of like, I'm going to recommend a movie I used to like. I'm going to and I'm going to. I might hate it. I might hate it right now. I have no idea. I haven't seen it in 18 years,

but it was good what I did. I was just going to ask if any character like floats down the street, like most of these movies has a character floating down the street at some point. He's a very signature style, signature shot he is. Not that I remember. Yeah, I think it's pretty straightforward. There is one spot in the middle where Denzel's kind of freaking out. And there's a scene that's shot a little weird like that where it's kind of like you're inside his head and outside his head.

And yeah, I've I've seen Inside Man several times and I can back you up. Mary, it's a great movie. It's a good one. Yeah. It's always good to watch and rewatch. Mary, did you did choice description of if make you want to see it? Well, my boyfriend has an eight year old, so I'm sure I'm going to see it at some point. I was I always get nervous when you're like when you ask us, my boyfriend has an eight-year-old, so I'm sure I'm gonna see it at some point. I was, I always get nervous when you're like, when you ask us what's the

last movie you saw, because the last movie I saw was Thelma the Unicorn. So it's always some, either a horror movie I'm watching with my boyfriend or a children's movie I'm watching with him or with with his daughter. At least you remember, at least you know exactly what the last movie you saw is a lot of Times my guess or even when someone asked me what was the last movie you saw I like draw You know such a blank you know because I don't want to blurt out the absolute last movie I saw cuz probably something I didn't care for you know So I got to go back and pick something that was good that I was also the most recent thing I saw

Unless I'm dying to tear into some movie, you know, because I hated it so much. But I'm less like that these days because it's just like if I don't like something, so what? You know what I mean? Like if other people like it, good for them. You know, I can't tell people they're wrong necessarily. But Greg, what do you got for us us what's a what's a movie so we got an older movie a new movie could you know could be either what's a movie you'd recommend I'm torn between two I remember how would you used to be remember what you used to say when someone asked you about movies you'd say I've only seen two movies

That's right Batman and Hoosiers. Yeah Whenever I hear anything about Batman or Hoosiers, I think of you saying that Anything for me. There's a movie that came out on Netflix maybe about a year ago called Leave the World Behind with Robert and Mahershala Ali and Ethan Hawke and some young kids and it's about the end of the world. And it was produced by Michelle and Barack and it's fantastic. I've watched it twice and I watched it with my kids recently. Sorry, I keep turning off my notifications. It's super heavy, right?

Kind of, but then there's kind of bizarrely funny things in it. Kevin Bacon's in it. And it's smart. It's just really smart about how the world would end. Okay. It's really thoughtful. And Julia Roberts is wildly, was wildly unlikable. Almost a Karen type character.

Yeah, that's the vibe I got off of it. And I was like, do I want a whole movie of Julia Roberts being a horrible, annoying person, but then good for her for stretching because she can't, you know, she can't be, you know, pretty woman for her whole life. No. And in fact, you get to understand her pretty much at the end. And they, you know, pretty woman for her whole life. No, and in fact, you get to understand her pretty much at the end and they, you know, like they don't leave her there. I don't think she makes you leave. No, no, no, no, it's really worth watching. It's surprisingly good.

Yeah, yeah, it's good. And I also, I love Challenger. Who? Challenges. Oh, challenges. Challenges. Challenges, I love, man. I had no idea how good that was going to be.

Go get your head blown off by tennis. I saw that movie in IMAX. I thought that was a bit much. a bit much. But, you know, just I have so many questions, but the main one being, did you we would all disappoint. Disappointment is not really the right word for it, but it's sort of set up like it's going to be, you know, that there's going to be the three of them, you know, like a throuple or whatever you want to call it. And certainly there's that sort of situation. But did you expect the movie to be more, you know, sexual and more about that? Or I guess you were satisfied with it.

Yeah, I went in not really, I went in actually not that enthused. I was sort of like, a love triangle doesn't seem that interesting to me. I liked, call me by your name, but I didn't see the cannibal one. You know what I mean? But I just thought the relationship was so smart,

and then the whole thing hinges on a callback Right, right. Yeah, but climax is just a callback. It's fantastic. And I thought the performances were good. The music was was fantastic. It was very uh yeah it was the music was pretty hardcore like how how strong a presence they would have sometimes and Speaking of hardcore music. There's a guy that just Wanders through our neighborhood like I swear it happens at every time I'm podcasting but not that you know not that often he just wandersers through just playing the saxophone. And I don't even know if I can tell specifically what song it is.

But it's so weird. Is he bringing it? He keeps moving. He only has to hear it for like a minute or two and then it's gone. He just wants you to have a sexy update, man. Maybe he works for the city and he's guiding all the rats out of town or something. the with the extremely competitive Troy Tate and two others. We'll be right back. We are back. We are back.

And we were talking during the break about absolutely nothing. We were listening to the ads with rapt attention. The first game we're gonna play today is something I made up special because of recent events. This game is called Dabsolutely Dabulous. We lost the great Dabney Coleman this last week who's in so many great movies. I'm was you're a little saddened by his loss. This is the first I've heard of it Doug I did not hear about his passing no. Oh

What a weird way to find out I That is crazy, that's weird because I actually I'm in a group of people that just texts guests That is crazy. Yeah, it's weird because I actually I'm in a group of people that just Texts deaths And as soon as it happens you're first to know Yeah Yeah, it's really weird. I enjoy the account on X formerly Twitter. That's It's all just people that lies in Manalii is outlasted. Like whenever somebody or something dies,

they just post, Liza Minnelli has outlived, and then whatever it is. It will be sad one day, but for now, I enjoy it. The great Davide Coleman, character actor, usually plays a boss or a bad guy or a bad boss, and was just absolutely terrific at it. He also had a TV series It was pretty enjoyable if you want to dig that up called Buffalo Bill

It was a sitcom that didn't last very long, but Gina up-and-coming Gina Davis was in that with him So here's how this game works. This is how absolutely fabulous works So here's how this game works. This is how absolutely dabulous works. I'll say the name of a movie and then you tell me if it's dabulous or not dabulous. In other words, meaning whether or not Dabney Coleman is in it. Oh boy. It's a 50-50 shot you have every time Mary. So I know I think you can, I think you're going to get on the board. We'll just start with Greg. Greg will get the first one. He gets it. He gets the point. If he doesn't get it, either way, we move on to Mary, then Detroit. And there's going to be enough rounds that the first person to three points or the person with the most

points after six rounds wins the game and No pressure because you don't win much. It's mostly just for fun And we'll start with Greg you ready Greg yeah Dabulous or not debulous the motion picture sleepless in Seattle Dabulous you think he's the sleepest in Seattle. Uh fabulous. You think he's in sleep in Seattle? Yeah. Okay. I gotta find my sound effect. That is incorrect. Oh, he's not in sleep in Seattle,

but you know what Greg, he might as well have been because he was in you've got mail. Ah, different Tom Hanks. I did, I just remember he was dead in something. Right, okay, all right. All right, yes, you're right, of course. Of course, of course, of course, okay. All right, my bad.

No, you're doing great. Mary? Ready. Do you have any thoughts about Sleepist in Seattle before we move on? No, but I have a feeling I'm not going to get any of these right because this guy was in movies before I was born. So let's do it. Right. It is.

It does lean a little on the older side, but he, you know, he worked all the way up until I saw his last credits on IMDB were like 2019. Oh, okay. Yeah, so he worked up to Pando and then just probably just dipped after that. But what about this is a classic motion picture. So maybe that'll help you to figure it out, Mary. Daubulous or not Daubulous? Mrs. Doubtfire. I'm gonna say not Daubulous or not Daubulous? Uh, Mrs. Doubtfire.

I'm gonna say not Daubulous. I know that movie pretty well. Watch me be wrong, but I'm gonna say not Daubulous. You can't picture him walking around with his mustache being angry about something? No, I cannot. That is correct. He is not Mrs. Doubtfire. That was another trap set up because he is in fact in Tootsie, which many would argue is the same story.

All right, Troy Tate. Any thoughts about Mrs. Doubtfire? It was indeed a run by fr fruity. You can confirm it as a run-by fruity? Yep. You know it when you see it. Okay, Troy, what about the I know he's in a Muppet movie and I know what you're doing. So I could have slipped in the wrong Muppet movie, right? Yeah, but I think that's the one. I mean, there's a lot of bosses in Manhattan and they're angry a lot of the time. That's a really good point. That Take Manhattan. He plays this shifty producer who tries to rip off Each Muppet for two hundred dollars a piece

Says he's gonna produce their musical for him and then police arrived to arrest the guy because of his multiple scams and then We get you get to watch Gonzo and animal and Camilla the chicken attack Daphne Coleman and Animal and Camilla the Chicken attack Daphne Coleman. Perfect. I saw this the day after he died and I was like, this isn't the greatest tribute to him, but it is interesting timing. Okay, so Mary and Troy are on the board. Greg, you gotta get this one.

Are you ready? Yeah. Okay. The motion picture is called Stuart little was animated right. It was, you know, the rat, the rat, the mouse mouse. Oh wow. I'm, I'm certain I didn't see it, so I'm going to just guess. I'm going to say, yeah, why bring it up?

Why bring up Stuart Little? Is he in another movie with a mouse or a rat? Is that what I'm trying to do? Is he in Five-Fold? Or the sequel Six-Fold? no, I don't know but I do know this you're correct he is in Stuart little Yeah, I don't even I don't know I couldn't tell you what he plays that movie, but I bet you it's someone that doesn't get along with Stuart Yeah, dad or something was dad's boss Yeah, yeah. Yeah, though. He was definitely in that mode. All right, Mary. This is your chance to spring into the lead Okay, if you could tell me if the original og Robin Williams Jumanji is

Dabulous or not dabulous man. I'm getting lucky because these are two Mrs. Outfire and Jumanji are like major parts of my childhood. But now... It was Robin Williams or nothing for you. Yeah. Apparently. I'm gonna say not fabulous.

That he's not in Jumanji. He is not in Jumanji. Mary, you did it. I did get a little, I was like, wait a minute, was he the safari guy? But then I was like, no, he was British and had a weird nose. And another, this is supposed to maybe trip somebody up. I don't know who, cause I don't know who remembers this,

but he was a voice in the Jumanji TV cartoon that ran for like one year. That wasn't gonna trip anybody up. that nobody was tripped up. Yeah, I don't think anybody would have been confused by that but Troy here's your chance to to tie it up with Mary. Debu or not Debu? Inspector Gadget. The noise that we all I'm talking about fabulous inspector gadget. The noise that we all commonly make when we hear the words inspector gadget. I'm talking about that one with like Matthew Broderick in it. I believe so, yes. And he had, you know, claws for hands or whatever. All right, I don't know. I haven't seen that movie, but I'm gonna say it's fabulous Doug. She's gadget loaded

You think that the mean? Dabney Coleman would be a sweet good-natured children's comedy like inspector gadget Yeah, there's definitely a bad guy in that movie. Oh Dr. Klaue Dr. Klaue I think the bad guy is Rupert Everett. All right well he's bad. That's my that's what I remember from it but I'm not I'm no inspector gadget expert I couldn't even tell you had the who had the worthless lady role. Is that where Matthew met Sarah Jessica Parker? You think she was Penny? I don't know who the girl was in that movie,

but you know what I mean? Somebody had to play that probably terrible part. And yes, he is in Inspector Gadget. Hey. We have a tie between Mary and Troy. That means that Mary, you get get one more and if you get this right you win this game if you get it wrong then Troy wins the game I'm ready a lot of pressure let it be another 90s Robin Williams movie it is

not damn it it's a Keira Knightley joint okay it's called Domino. Oh, I have never even heard of that. Um, I am gonna say, dabbulous. Based on absolutely nothing. Based on absolutely nothing. Other than you know who Keira Knightley is. Yes, I know her from Pirates of the Caribbean. Yeah, Pirates of the Caribbean. Domino is the movie where like she plays an action character. I think it might have been Tony Scott's last movie or next to last movie. And it is I don't know what he plays in it, but it's fabulous. Congratulations. I don't know what he plays in it, but it's fabulous. Hey. Congratulations, Mary. I'm pretty sure that's a pretty good hurting

on Dabney in that movie. Oh, really? I remember correctly. Yeah, yeah. That movie's great. Except Dabney? Yeah. He was asking for it.

OK, well. Probably. I'd like to find that scene, because is he like a bad guy throughout, or does he just show up in these nasty? And she beats him up. I Don't remember exactly Well, that's it's too bad Troy because our next game today is called what you remember about Domino dang it At least I've seen it before

All right. No, I got a different game we're going to play and we're going to do it right after this break. We'll be right back. We are back and we got one game that determines who our winner is going to be today. And it's a new game that's, it's a little bit complicated, but hopefully I can talk talk you through it and everybody will Understand and enjoy it. It's a game that I've decided to call always bet on yourself

some people always bet on black, but you should really bet on yourself and Here's how it works I'll ask you a question This is an individual so like we're gonna start with Mary And then we'll go to Troy and wait which way were we going last game? We're going and then Greg so yeah, we'll go the opposite way. We'll go Mary, then Greg, then Troy. And so Mary will get the first question. I'll ask you a question, Mary, that has multiple choice. It's got three possible answers. And I'll give you all three of the answers. I mean, I'll tell you the three choices. Then you have to bet on yourself. You have to decide if you think you know the answer

to that question. And if you do know the answer, you can bid, you start with 100 points, you can bid up to 99 points. But if you don't think you know the answer, then bid low or nothing and you can you know retain all or most of your points okay since it's like final Jeopardy kind of kind of yeah kind of but multiple choice okay multiple choice of final jeopardy sounds yeah sounds easier than I'm assuming this is gonna

be well then after you after you have, Mary, then Greg will get a different question. And these questions are all just random. So like, you know, you got lucky in the last game, Mary, because you're a fan of. We'll see if that luck continues. Then Greg will get one. He gets to bid how much he thinks he you know, how well he knows the answer. Then same for Troy. Then once we've gone through all three of you, then we go back through and each one gets a second question. And whoever has the most points after two rounds of two questions, they get, they're the winner. Right. I've got a situation for a tie, but it seems like it'd be weird. It'd be weird to be exactly tied considering you can wager any amount between one and 99.

Right. All right. And the second round you can wager up to, you know, one dollar, you just have to retain one dollar. Just so nobody goes down all the way to zero. Nobody's bankrupt. Here we go, Mary. Ready. Good luck. Thank you. Nobody's bankrupt Here we go, Mary ready good luck

Thank you, which is the longest big bachelor party or splash Jesus which of those feature films starring Tom Hanks in the earliest days of his career is the longest time-wise. I've never seen any of these. Big? And then what? Big? You know, Big is where he changed bodies with a... he became an adult pretty much.

Overnight. Yeah. And then Bachelor Party, he also became an adult because he had a stupid party where he realized his friends were all a bunch of sexist shitheads. And then Splash is where he falls in love with a fish. Man, I hope none of those are mermaids. Like than 80 minutes. Um, I think that's the honest humor of this question to me is that all three of these movies should be 90 minutes each On the nose and not and not a minute more movies are too long and these these kind of movies are partially responsible Okay, I'm gonna say what shenanigans could he get into the most there's probably a heartfelt story in big

We like realizes he doesn't want to be growing up Splash maybe his family rejects the mermaid. And that's a big drama piece. Bachelor Party, he has a revelation that he's not a piece of shit. I'm gonna go, the longest runtime of those three is Bachelor Party. I love the way you worked it all out.

Your logic was very, very sound. But unfortunately, Oh, wait, we didn't get you. You didn't. Oh, I didn't wager. I completely forgot. I'm sorry. All right.

Let me ask you this. Okay. I wager zero. I speak for myself. I speak for myself. I speak for myself. I speak for myself. I speak for myself. I speak for myself. I'm sorry. All right. Let me ask you this. Okay. I wagered zero.

I screwed up my own game. We gotta come up with something that's fair. It's a little unfair to Troy and to Greg, but I'm gonna say, bid on, so which one did you guess guessed and I gave you the you're a wrong signal for bachelor party so now how much would you wager on guessing between big or splash how much would I wager for my yeah yeah okay what do you think your chances are wouldn't have my 100 points yeah I'm gonna wager 10 points. Okay, that's fair on big That worked out great for

everybody concerned I think because You know you lost somebody didn't lose the time, so I'll do it the right way next time but You lost somebody didn't lose the time. So I'll do it the right way next time but This being the first time of course that sort of thing can happen Even if I did it for the 50th time I could still screw it up. So it splashes the longest at 151 minutes But bachelor party's 145 minutes and big is 144 and like they're all like why are these movies you know that long it's ridiculous

Yeah, okay, so Congratulations Mary you only lost ten points perfect now. We go to Greg and your question is this Greg Which one of these in which one of these movies does Eddie Murphy play the most roles? He's in a lot of his movies, he plays more than one part. And I want you to pick between, and we've got to remember to bid first, but I'm giving you your options so you can decide how confident you are.

Nutty Professor, Coming to America, or the sequel to Coming to America, called Coming, the number two, America. Which one of those has Eddie Murphy played the most roles? What do you want to bid on your chances of getting this right, Greg? 1 to 99 points. One to 99 points. I'll say 20 points.

Oh, I like that bid. And what's your answer between Nutty Professor coming to America or coming to America? Which one does he play the most parts? I feel like this is a trick question. I feel like there's one that it should be and probably isn't. But then if I don't guess it, I'll feel really dumb. I'm just gonna say Nuddy Professor. Nuddy Professor is correct. Ah! All right. There are seven parts in that movie. Coming to America and its sequel, he played four parts in each. The same four in both, I believe.

And I think the reason that he doesn't play more characters in the Coming to America movies is because Arsenio was playing multiple roles as well. Whereas in Nutty Professor, he was the only one playing more than one part. And then I think he plays seven in Nutty Professor, two, The Clumps. All right. So Greg, you just got yourself 20 points. And so you are up to 120. Mary has 90. But Troy gets his first question now. Troy, which movie of these

three has the largest credited cast, like the most people that are listed as cast members on IMDB. Is it moon, gravity, or passengers? And we'll have you bid before you answer, but think about those three. What's your confidence level on this one? How much would you like to bid? Very low. I would like to bid just 10 points. Very low. I would like to bid just 10 points. Okay. I like these conservative bids we got going on here. Which one do you think it is that has the largest credited cast? Know all three of those movies? No.

Moon is what's his name? Sam Rockwell. Andy Bullock. Yeah. Chris Pratt, Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence. Well, that's two. He only named one for you. That's three people. Right, but they all take place in space and that's the joke is they all have very small casts compared to movies that don't take place in space. So which one of those do you think has the biggest cast?

Based on the titles, I'm gonna have to go with passengers sounds right. It feels like you have to Did you have a choice? I don't think so. That is the correct answer. Damn Yes Yeah, it's weird because passengers when you think when you imagine the movie It's really the two of them most of the time, but it still manages to come in at 27 credited actors. Gravity, you know, you got George Clooney's up there with her to begin with, and then he floats away or something. And then Ed Harris is on the telecom, like he's the one talking to her through the whole movie but they still managed to get to seven characters and Moon is all about Sam Rockwell's isolation

and he talks to like Kevin Spacey but somehow there's 10 speaking roles in Moon but you got it you got a choice you got 10 more points this is a real, this is a rager. Farm burner. Yeah. Mary's got 90 and Troy's got 110 and Greg's in the lead with 120. Mary, are you ready for your second question? Oh, I think so. This is the one. This is the one that's Turn it all around.

This is where you do it I'll tell you the question and then don't forget to bid okay that is a fatal flaw in this game is it between me and the contestant either one of us could just move ahead too quickly which Godfather motion picture won three Oscars. Which Godfather movie won three Oscars? And then your options are Godfather, Godfather 2, and Godfather 3. How much would you like to bid on your Godfather Oscar knowledge? So Greg has one hundred and twenty, right?

Yeah. So I'm going to bet forty. Because I'll put me ten ahead of him. OK. Right. Sure. But I've only ever seen one of these movies and don't know anything about the Oscars. I'm gonna go with the OG. I'm gonna go 40 points for Godfather 1. Again, you know, you're, you talked us through it and it was impeccable. God damn it.

I've never won this. No, I'm serious. You got it right. Oh, really? God damn it. I've never won this. No, I'm serious. You got it right. Oh, really? I was like, fuck me, dude. I never win. Now they both have to get it on. Troy, would you have guessed number one, won three Oscars?

I would not have guessed number one. Because that sounds a little light, right, for the the greatest movie ever made the way people talk about it Yeah Yeah, it's in fact it did win three Oscars, but then the sequel Godfather 2 won six Oscars. Oh See, I was thinking the other ones didn't win any The third one did in fact win none, but it was, it did score a nomination I think, maybe just one.

I think it was only nominated for best picture, maybe best picture in maybe music or something like that. But alright, so that worked out. In your favor, Mary, you got those 40 points. So you're up to 130. You've got the score to beat Now we go back to Greg And here's your next question, Greg Which one of these movies adapted from books Is based on the longest book? Page wise the longest number of pages. Is it misery,

pet cemetery or Christine? Did you read any of these books, Greg? No. You weren't a Stephen King head back when all of those books were popular? No, not really. I've never been. I mean, I enjoyed some of the films, but I was never... Yeah. So you've seen probably two or three of these. So what do you want to bid? How much do you want to bid? Do you want to try to uh? Just stay in the game. I got a bit at least 30 Right, what do you ever take? Yeah, you know, she's got 130 and you got 120 so you could just you could bet 11 And then you would surpass her but you want to surpass her by a lot to give Breathing room because troy's coming after you Yeah, he might he might just smash one I'm going to pass her by a lot to give me breathing room because Troy is coming after

you. Yeah, he might he might just smash one. Yeah, you might not though. I'm going to You're going thirty. Yeah, you just gotta remind me what the movies are again. Misery. Yeah, we got misery. We got Pet Cemetery and Christine. You know what each one of those is about, right?

Yes, I do. Which one of those would take the most pages to tell? The one that I think is a short story. I feel like Misery is a short story, but I could be wrong. Christine, I'm going to get this one wrong, but Pat Sematary Christine. What's the other one? Misery.

Maybe it's not a choice. I'm gonna say Misery. Sorry, Greg. Misery is not the correct answer. It is Christine. Christine is 526 pages, which I saw that movie. I'm like, what? And then killer car.

Yeah. And then saying for 500 pages. I don't know but pet cemetery is 374 and then Misery is I guess you could call it a short story based on you know, the criteria of it being Stephen King and his super ass long books, but Misery is 310 pages Yeah But that was a great attempt to put yourself in a good position. You still of course have a shot at third place with with 90 points.

Troy, are you ready? I'm ready. This is your moment, dude. Are you ready? I'm ready. This is your moment, dude Which one of these movies has the longest Subtitle and I won't say the subtitle parts out loud because then that would give that away is it Bardo Birdman or Dr. Strangelove How much would you like to bid Troy on the topic of long subtitles? Let's see I think I know two of these subtitles if I can

And what's Mary's got 130 points yeah, so you only have to bid 21 points to rise above her But also do we need to wait you do Right All right, I'm gonna. I'm gonna wager a wager 25 about that Yeah, I love it whoa all right and I'm gonna I'm gonna wager a wager 25 about that Whoa all right Mary does not love it

I'm just hoping you're wrong Okay, we got Bardo Birdman or doctor strange love which one do you think has the longest subtitle? My word count is that Yeah Could have been by word counts a good way to do it All right, I'm gonna go with a bird man I think they'd all be the same. It would be the same either way, right? You know, the numbers would, but I guess not if some of the words

are bigger than others. Anyway, so you're going with Birdman, the unexpected virtue of ignorance. So, Oh no, that's not right. Hey! Shortest of the three subtitles with just five words. Bardo goes on to say, false chronicle of a handful of truth, seven words.

And Dr. Strangelove is the longest because it's how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. Yeah, ten whole words. So we subtract 25 from Troy's score it really doesn't matter well. It's fun to say that you came in third so Greg gets a little A little boost for if this was He'd win a little bit more money than you but Congratulations, Mary said But congratulations Mary said to her winner today

You never won I predicted you might today, but you never know What you're gonna get like would you have which would you picked on that subtitle one Mary would you have had any? Skin that game is this I would have done all in on dr. Strange love because it's the only one I knew. And I knew it was really long. And you knew it was really long, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's so long, people drop it quite a bit when they say it. And I was even mad at Jeopardy one night

because they just took Birdman as an answer and I'm like, you should have to say that whole weird ass title. But Mary, you got to do your plugs first. Congratulations. Wow, amazing.
