Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds With 50 acid popcorn kernels in his teeth They're still not warm, then he won't sleep Cause Doug loves movies Hey everybody, coming to you from the darkness. Because I think the lights should probably get brighter on me right now. Is this just my imagination?
Starting point is 00:00:31 Or is this how we're going to do it? Is it kind of like Doug Lo's movies by Candlelight? Oh, that's a little brighter. Oh, good luck reading my notes tonight. Holy shit, you guys. What a special event. Okay, let me start at notes tonight. Holy shit, you guys. What a special event.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Okay, let me start at the top. Hey, everybody. My name is Doug, and I love movies. And I love movies. All right, that was pretty good. I can't expect you guys to be right on it, because this is a very special Doug Loves Movies, coming to you once again from CineFamily in Los Angeles
Starting point is 00:01:05 on Monday, April 28, 2014. Wolf of Wall Street Fight Terminator 2 Judgment Day of the Dead Men Walking Tall the President's Men in Black Fisher King Ralph at Dog Day Afternoon Delight Sleeper, Delight, Sleep,
Starting point is 00:01:30 Perfect Murder. Tonight, yeah. Tonight, after Douglas Movies, we will be doing a Benson movie interruption of Three Days to Kill
Starting point is 00:01:42 after a 15-minute smoke break break of course and I saw Three Days to Kill kind of. I went with my friends from the band Sleeper Agent Tony and Alex and
Starting point is 00:01:56 even talked them into seeing Three Days to Kill and fell asleep about 20 minutes into it and then when I woke up after it was all over, I was like, okay, I'll interrupt that. I'm going to go ahead and do an interruption of that because I thought
Starting point is 00:02:13 it was ridiculous for 20 minutes and then checked out. Since last I spoke and you listened, I attended the 60th annual Ebert Fest in Champaign Urbana, Illinois yeah I had a wonderful time
Starting point is 00:02:29 saw some great movies and I highly recommend Life Itself which is a documentary by Steve James about Roger Ebert and Waja which is I don't know some people already are responding to it it's the first movie made in Saudi Arabia
Starting point is 00:02:47 and also directed by a woman who had to hide in a van to direct scenes that they shot through a window in the van in Saudi Arabia so it's an amazing movie about a girl who wants a bike and Yeah, so it's an amazing movie about a girl who wants a bike. And... It's like Pee-wee's Big Adventure, but she wants one, doesn't already have one,
Starting point is 00:03:13 and then loses it. Of course, everything I recommend is done highly, but I highly recommend those movies. Thursday night, I'll be back right here as part of the Wayne Fetterman International Film Festival presenting Boogie Nights. Yeah, cinefamily.org for tickets. Chicago, Monday night. Yes. May 5th, Cinco de Hayao. I'm doing Douglas movies at Zany's in Rosemont,
Starting point is 00:03:42 I'm doing Douglas movies at Zany's in Rosemont O'Hare adjacent the prize bag has lots of crazy stuff in it Cinefamily donated a badly damaged three days to kill poster it's got a bunch of
Starting point is 00:03:58 dents in it and they say that's how it was said to them and I believe them because Cinefamily is about love and not about lying. And there's lots of other stuff. There's a copy of Gateway Doug and some other stuff that I'll tell you about when I get my guests out here.
Starting point is 00:04:15 But I'm so excited about these guests. Let's bring them out right now. Please give a big warm welcome to Nick Thune, Rory Scovel, and Griffin Dunn. Yeah, Woo is right. So excited. First time guest, Griffin Dunn is here, everybody. Actor, director. I want to make it sound highfalutin, so director. Star of two of my favorite all-time films.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Do you want to guess which two movies we just met on the patio? After Hours and American Werewolf. Yes. I'm such a cliche in your life. That's all right. Every drunken guy in the bar, I love After Hours and American Werewolf. Anything you marry that doesn't begin with an A,
Starting point is 00:05:20 fuck it. But those are two amazing... And they're your favorite in alphabetical order. Yes, they are. In absolute alphabetical order. That's Nick Thune, everybody. I like to call him Nick Thune. And people correct me all the time on Twitter
Starting point is 00:05:36 that it's Nick Thune and not Nick Thune. But if you could change it for me, I'd appreciate it. I could look into that. All right, thank you. And Rory Scovel is here, everybody. Thank you. And he brought a bag that says YouTube on it.
Starting point is 00:05:55 That became the prize bag because it's bigger than the bag I brought that says Carnival Cruises on it. Does the bag play videos? Both hand-me-down bags. Yeah. And so this is just, you got this because you did something on YouTube? Yeah, no, I did something at YouTube. You did it at them? I added at YouTube, and they gave me a bag and a bandana and a hat and a pin,
Starting point is 00:06:16 and I said, you know who needs this? Someone else who doesn't want it. Yeah, this is like a headband. That's a headband if you want to work out and really promote YouTube. Hey, you worried about getting picked in basketball? Put that headband on. You'll get picked right away.
Starting point is 00:06:33 I bet that guy can dunk. I'll take YouTube. There's a hat with the YouTube start arrow. Press play. I would think that if someone... You'd have to be a tough guy to wear this because otherwise people would just be tapping you on your fucking head.
Starting point is 00:06:49 That's right. All the time. Hey, hey. Who do you hang out with? What bars are you going to? I hang out with some scurrilous types, Rory. Aggressive types. Okay, so that's a bunch of YouTube swag
Starting point is 00:07:04 you're getting from Rory. Okay, so that's a bunch of YouTube swag you're getting from Rory Scovel. And then from our friend Nick Thune, a purple belt. Tell us more about it. I was given this belt when I performed
Starting point is 00:07:19 or participated in the Conan Golf Classic. It is a one-of-a-kind belt that's too big for me, so you guys lucked out. And on the back of it is an email address where you will email me, and I will give you a free download of my new album. What's your new album called?
Starting point is 00:07:35 It's the follow-up to Thick Noon. It is the follow-up. Which is one of my favorite titles. This one's called Folk Hero. All right, so not every title can be hilarious. No, some of them are meant to. Some of them are just more evocative. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:53 But thank you for bringing this belt. And you have a motion picture that you are in that publicists reached out to me. Could Nick Thune be on your podcast? And I was like, yeah, my friend Nick, sure. Then you text me and I say yes. So the movie's called Bad Johnson?
Starting point is 00:08:09 It's called Bad Johnson and I play a penis. It's on demand and on iTunes and May 2nd it's in theaters. But basically a guy who is a womanizer and his penis is always getting him into trouble. He can't stop it. It's ruined relationships. Goes to bed one night
Starting point is 00:08:27 and says, I just wish that I didn't have this amazing dick. And then he wakes up and his penis has supernaturally become me. This is the weirdest booking because I did not do this on purpose putting you and Griffin Dunn on the same panel. I gotta tell you, first of all, that movie's been
Starting point is 00:08:43 made. Yeah, I'm in it. He's in it. I know. You had to research it. I would imagine to play that part. I did a lot of research. I kind of watched everything that you've ever done. Well, as you should.
Starting point is 00:08:56 The movie's been done, and it's also been a play. I don't know. I just took a role. That's incredible. No, it was a dark stain on my oeuvre, I think. It seemed like a good idea to play a guy
Starting point is 00:09:10 whose penis talked to him. We've got the name of your autobiography, though. A dark stain on my oeuvre. That's pretty sweet. Yeah, we can stick with that. Yeah. And there happens to be
Starting point is 00:09:22 a penis exhibit in the courtyard. Weird coincidences. And Rory Scoville. And then I'm also here. It's incredible. You have a penis? I have a penis.
Starting point is 00:09:37 There you go. Another coincidence. I'm in a movie that's coming out where a woman has her vagina chopped off. No, you're not. It's not related to this. you're not. It's not related to this. She's tortured. It's actually pretty gruesome. YouTube videos that you post are not movies. What's that?
Starting point is 00:09:51 Yeah, I shot it for YouTube. Vines aren't movies. I did it on YouTube. It's pretty... It's also available now, like Nick's new movie. It's, yeah, free. It's also free to grab. Also in the bag, a t-shirt from Kansas City Normal
Starting point is 00:10:07 and a Spider-Man mask that like, if you're going to a costume party and you're the laziest person, you could just hold this up to your face. You took off the best part. That was supposed to be Spider-Man with an eye patch. Oh, sorry.
Starting point is 00:10:26 Fixed it. So, all that stuff is in this YouTube bag that Rory brought for somebody to win tonight. But before we get to that, let's talk about movies for a second. I brought some swag. Oh, what'd you bring? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Well, it's actually being printed up, but it's a picture of me at the age of seven meeting the Beatles. And it's a keeper. What are you going to do? You're going to sign it for them? No, I'm like, there was a charity event, and my parents won tickets to it, and I stood in line for about two hours just moving along, and the four mop tops are sitting on stools, and John is shaking my hand like he cannot believe he's finally meeting me.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Yeah. Must have been a huge honor. He's got this like, what are you doing here on his face? And it's a treasured item, and I swag it away to you. Wow. But it's not treasured item and I swag it away to you. Wow. But it's not here yet. Yeah, you might not get it. I just wanted to bring it up.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Oh, okay. He just wanted to say he's met John Lennon. I just had to say it. If I didn't say I met the Beatles soon, I was going to burst. Every event you're at, you're just dying to say, I met the Beatles!
Starting point is 00:11:45 But that is pretty, that's, as bragging goes, that's a pretty, it's a winner. Whoever wins, please frame that picture, and I hope people ask all the time, like,
Starting point is 00:11:55 what is this picture with this boy meeting the Beatles? Well, I wish that was funnier. And why is it inside a YouTube bag? Yeah, they never hang it up. I think that, funnier. And why is it inside a YouTube bag? Yeah, they never hang it up.
Starting point is 00:12:08 And why are you wearing a purple belt? They just throw that bag in the corner when they get home. Griffin, what's the movie that you, what's the project you have coming out that you're excited about? It's called The Discoveries? Discoverers. Discoverers. you have coming out that you're excited about? It's called The Discoveries? Discoverers.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Discoverers. Yeah, and it's a really funny kind of touching movie about a guy who I play who's an academic. I've written a book about Lewis and Clark, and that's sort of my specialty, and
Starting point is 00:12:39 I'm going to deliver a speech halfway across the country, and I take my teenage children with me. And it's sort of like a dysfunctional family comedy and we end up taking a reenactment Lewis and Clark trip and we end up wearing furs and carrying muskets and shit. And it's funny.
Starting point is 00:13:04 It's a sweet movie. Sounds hilarious. I didn't punch a joke. Nick, as comedians, none of us could have said something. Ten years ago. There's not one penis in this movie, by the way. You wouldn't be interested.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Penis of the Old West. All right. Penis of the Old West Alright Rory You don't have a movie to plug do you? No And follow my career I never will I'm an artist I don't do film
Starting point is 00:13:41 I do live productions only. TBS or nothing? Yep, that's where I draw the line. Once I'm in the door, I don't take any steps forward. I stop right away. Are you excited, though, to interrupt the Kevin Costner classic, the new classic, Three Days to Kill. I am.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Tonight, mere moments after this show is over. Big fan of JFK, and I imagine they're going to be on the same level. So I'm excited about this film. You're going to be president? Why is that funny? I'm really excited to interrupt this film. I got a question for Griffin. One of the best moments in the history of movies I got a question for Griffin.
Starting point is 00:14:27 One of the best moments in the history of movies is in American Werewolf in London when you pick up that Mickey Mouse doll and make it wave and say, Hi, David. Was that ad-libbed? In fact, it was. Could you tell? It was.
Starting point is 00:14:44 It's so fucking funny When that happens He's a zombie He's like a zombie He's back from the dead He's a zombie And his friend is freaking out And he picks up a Mickey Mouse doll
Starting point is 00:14:54 And makes it wave And goes Hi David Why would that be hilarious When a zombie does that? I don't know It just It just sort of works
Starting point is 00:15:01 I did it I just pulled it out of my butt And Landis has taken credit for that line ever since. That son of a bitch. And it's just what he does. I don't know. All right.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Well, I'll tell you a great story then. I was at a party recently, and someone was talking to me, a very high profile person. Who? I'm not going to say who. This story isn't to embarrass that person. But it's to embarrass John Landis. Because that person talked to me for a while and then turned to John Landis
Starting point is 00:15:27 and started calling him Leonard because he thought he was Leonard Maltin. And he felt bad about it afterwards, as anybody should, I guess. I guess I'm burning the John Landis bridge to be on this show. Joe Dante, at the same event, agreed to come on sometime.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Oh, he's great. Okay, good. You're good with Joe Dante. I love Landis, too. He'll do it. Oh, you love him. You just know that that's the kind of ego he has that he thinks he thought of.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Hi, David. Yeah, we can trade it back and forth. I take credit for a lot of his stuff, too. Oh, really? I directed Blues Brothers. Don't fuck up and add a 2000 to that. I had a window and I took it. Wait a second.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Did John Landis meet the Beatles? Well, see? Who really met the Beatles? He cock blocks me all the time on that one. All right, you guys. That was the movie discussion. I think it went pretty well. I'm pretty happy with it.
Starting point is 00:16:33 You know, you get a very, you know, astute movie crowd here at CineFamily and when they're laughing, you know you're doing something right. So congratulations, Nick.
Starting point is 00:16:44 Thanks. Better luck next time, Griffin and Rory. Yeah. Like I keep a score or something. This is the part of the show where I say, points, let the games begin. Yeah. I'm hoping audience members,
Starting point is 00:17:03 even though we're at a new location tonight or a different location, I'm still going to be back at UCB a week from tomorrow night but did you guys bring name tags at all? So people brought little things they wrote their names on or just a packet of Oreos and
Starting point is 00:17:18 they put a post-it on so what I'd like each of my guests to do is to go select from the audience a name tag that you would like to represent. Or you could ask them to bring it to you if you just want to point to them. But have them bring you the name tag or go get it for whoever
Starting point is 00:17:36 you'd like to play for tonight to win all the prizes in the YouTube bag. You, poster person! Come here! Now! Oreo man! Yeah, Griffin's going for the Oreos that's smart play yeah Oreo and driver's license okay tonight's Doug loves movies is brought to you without commercial interruption thank you and it's and it's sponsored by Mercedes-Benz Then we have a John Hamm's voice comes in
Starting point is 00:18:10 And says Your mileage may vary Alright, oh wow You're gonna donate your organs? It says on this? Great I'm such a fan of that Are you giving it up for the piano? Oh, the guy just put his ID On some Oreos? No, I'm such a fan of that. Are you giving it up for the piano?
Starting point is 00:18:28 Oh, the guy just put his ID on some Oreos? No, I'm telling you. Yeah. Okay. How is this going to play in? If you win today, that guy is going to get all this stuff in this bag. Oh, cool. Including that picture that you promised. Doug, I feel like you're upset that he only put his ID on Oreos,
Starting point is 00:18:44 despite the fact he's an organ donor. I can't follow what you just said, but I don't think anyone in the crowd followed what I said. Who are you playing for, Rory? I am playing for Erica.
Starting point is 00:19:00 And she made a poster. She took the cutie and the boxer poster and changed it to Curly and the Stoner and put me on there. And that must be her, right? That's her. She's Curly. She's Curly.
Starting point is 00:19:13 And you smoke a lot of pot, as some people know. This movie should really happen, I think. I mean, I saw Cutie and the Boxer and I'm already more entertained by this. It was good. it was good, but it was just like, you know, struggling artists just arguing.
Starting point is 00:19:28 You know what I heard about that? Actually, just a small fact about that documentary is that the director, or whoever, the filmmaker, the footage that I thought was the most interesting was when he was really drunk around that table and then walking around New York. They found that two weeks before finishing it. They didn't have that for the movie,
Starting point is 00:19:44 and then they placed that footage off a picture they saw a camera in a room. Wow. Jesus Christ. That was the best part of the movie. Oh, we can't talk about real stuff. No, we can't. We're trying to entertain people, Nick. We're not trying to bore them to death.
Starting point is 00:19:57 I have goosebumps from that story. You know who else has goosebumps? These Sour Patch Kids that I got. With a license. That was a sweet, sweet-ass segue. And what, uh, whose name is on it? My name is Kid. My name is...
Starting point is 00:20:17 Get out! But come back if you win. And retrieve your YouTube bag. Yeah, yeah, of course. You deserve the prizes if you win because you, Nick, chose your box of candy that you altered in no way whatsoever.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Yeah, there's nothing on here. But his name is Kid, I guess. But it is now including the blue Sour Patch Kids. Oh. I think he said his nickname is Kid. Oh, okay. I'll settle for that. I don't need to know anything more about him.
Starting point is 00:20:53 But he might win tonight. And what's the name of the Oreo guy? I can tell you exactly. Yeah, it's right on there. Give me his middle name and give me his address. Nicholas Allen Simmons. His eyes are blue. Date of birth is 90286.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Okay. And Camden Avenue. Cool. Anyway, great. What kind of home security do you have at Camden? Camden Avenue. Sunset in Camden Avenue. Sunset in Camden. That's from
Starting point is 00:21:27 Singing in the Rain. Okay, so let's determine who's going to go first. You guys want to do some fucking lines or what? The Leonard Maltin game. It's Mark Wahlberg, everybody. And Mark Wahlberg is going to say a line from a motion picture.
Starting point is 00:21:51 As only Mark Wahlberg can do it. How are you doing today, buddy? Doing fucking good. Okay, good. I'd appreciate it if you'd watch. I'd like you to watch the language on my show. What's that? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:22:04 I'm here for this fucking dick museum. You know, kids listen to this podcast. We've got children listening. Children listen to this podcast. They'll fucking hear it. So what's going to happen, gentlemen, is Mark's going to say a line from a movie, and the first person who can say
Starting point is 00:22:22 it in their microphone, the name of that motion picture is going to win this particular game. So go ahead there, Mark. Say a line from a movie. I'm surrounded by dead people. It's lonely. Six cents.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Okay, Rory has guessed six cents. That is incorrect. I'm surrounded by dead people. It's lonely. Oh. Paranorman. Rory is guessed a second time.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Also incorrect. Rory, you can sit this out from now on. Okay. I'm surrounded by dead people. It's lonely. I'm lonely. dead people. It's lonely. I'm lonely. American Werewolf. Yes, that is correct.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Griffin Dunn recognized the line that he says in American Werewolf in London. I don't think that's the right line, though. No, that's how I would It's not right. It's boring.
Starting point is 00:23:23 Mark changes it up. I say it's boring. It is boring. I'm lonely. We're talking about the line in the movie, though, not about you. No, I'm fucking
Starting point is 00:23:33 the coolest dude of all time. This is what Mark does on set all the time. If I say boring, it's not going to be believable because it's me. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:23:42 You know, in Paranorman, they do say lonely. If we are still determining who gets that point. You can go now, Mark and Rory. Thank you, Mark. Can I go this way? Which way do I go?
Starting point is 00:24:01 Can I go this way? That wasn't the line. Yeah, I'm here for the dick mold. Have I said that CineFamily, have I made it specifically clear that they have a penis museum in the patio for the movie The Final Member, which is playing currently? Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:22 Got to give a plug to that for people who want to see a bunch of dicks under glass. I did actually watch that in preparation for my movie. You did? You saw the final member? They were showing it in Chicago while we were filming. It's great. It's actually a good doc.
Starting point is 00:24:38 About this guy. A guy donates his penis. That's the thing. Anyway. All right. Thanks, Nick. Donates his penis That's the thing Anyway Alright Thanks Nick People listening should know That I gave him a little knee pat there They should know that They need to know that
Starting point is 00:24:57 That might have been My first knee pat I've ever had Just a balled up fist Patting my knee I don't think that's ever happened Yeah I kind of like it, I guess Let's play the later Mon game Griffin Dunn gets to go first
Starting point is 00:25:12 And he doesn't have any idea how this game works So it's perfect I'll explain it as quickly as I possibly can It's like You remember Name That Tune, right? Yeah, you hear the song and then you name it. Yeah, yeah, you hear so many, how many notes you can name it in?
Starting point is 00:25:30 Yeah. Yeah, so this is instead of notes, it's actors' names reading from the bottom of the list up from Leonard Maltin's reviews of various films. And I'll explain more as we go along. But you get to start by picking a category. Like, just think of the category where you might know the most about it
Starting point is 00:25:50 and choose that. Joe Fritz on Twitter suggested Old Yeller, and that's the films of Al Pacino. The later films of Al Pacino. So it's movies that he's made since about 2000. He probably started yelling even earlier than that with Scent of a Woman, but you know what I mean. Have you ever worked with Al Pacino?
Starting point is 00:26:18 No, I haven't. I was asking Nick. Oh, shit. God, this guy, I don't even know Doug. Oh shit God this guy I don't even know Doug He asked me to come on his podcast And he's a dick to me What's that about
Starting point is 00:26:34 Okay so later films of Al Pacino Or we got two folks celebrating a birthday today Two hot ladies Jessica Alba and Penelope Cruz Are both born today So either the films of Jessica Alba and Penelope Cruz are both born today. Either the films of Jessica Alba or Penelope Cruz. Who do you think you know more about, the recent Al Pacino
Starting point is 00:26:51 or Alba or Cruz? Al Pacino. You've never worked with any of them? Let me think very quickly. No. I knew right away. I didn't know I was stalling. It did look cool to stall.
Starting point is 00:27:08 You just got to be sure. I was like, man, he's been in so many movies. Yeah, go back to Penelope Cruz. Yeah, she and I, wait a minute. You got to be sure because you could have been in a kind of an anthology movie where you didn't have scenes with them, but they were in it.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Yeah, so you did a good job. Point given. Now I'm going to give you some clues, and then I'm going to tell you, I'm going to read stuff from Leonard Maltin's review, and how many stars he gave it, and what year it came out. And then I'm going to tell you how many names he lists at the bottom of the review,
Starting point is 00:27:35 because he lists quite a few names usually. And then you have to guess, reading from the bottom of the list up, how many of those names you would need to get it. And then we'll go to Rory, who will either ask you to name it, or he will bid lower, and then we go around
Starting point is 00:27:51 to Nick. You'll see how it works. I'm so glad I'm first. That's a good spot to be. It's a really great spot. Congratulations. Thank you very much. One and a half stars from Leonard for this movie from 2003.
Starting point is 00:28:09 He says this movie is about an underworld functionary. Wish I could tell you what those two words meant. And that I already know what it is. Oh, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:25 All right, let me tell you how many names. Yeah, me too. Let me tell you how many names are listed in this. He lists eight names. So now what you can do is you can, since you think you know what it is, you can bid zero names, which means, you know, you could just name it without hearing any of these names, or you can bid negative names. So if you say negative one, you have just name it without hearing any of these names, or you can bid negative
Starting point is 00:28:45 names. So if you say negative one, you have to name the top-billed person and the title of the movie, negative two, the top two-billed people, in the correct order. So it gets tricky. What would you like to do, Gryffindor? What if I could tell you
Starting point is 00:29:01 the plot, who he plays, every single thing, but I can't remember the actual title. Then you should plot, who he plays Every single thing But I can't remember the actual title Then you should say I can name that movie in eight names Just get out of harm's way You seem like you're in trouble Shit, I could tell you so much about this movie I bet you can
Starting point is 00:29:20 Ten people saw it and I was the ninth But see now you're just giving clues to the other two guys. Well, it's really obscure. They won't get it. That's another clue. Yeah. Yeah, so just say I can name in eight names. Because then if I named all the names, I think you'd probably zero in on what it's called.
Starting point is 00:29:42 That's my theory. Okay. All right. Eight names? Eight names. Okay. All right. Eight names? Eight names. Okay. Rory? Oh, look at him.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Seven names. Okay. That's a good bid from some sort of character. That was sort of. That was his kind of thing. Some sort of character? Yeah. I don't know what that was supposed to be.
Starting point is 00:30:04 I don't know why you would Gay it up like that He was doing Was that kind of your southern guy? Oh, are you stalling? Because you don't know it? I'd actually know the name And probably name the first two
Starting point is 00:30:17 Well, good, because I don't Or do I? So what's your So what's your bid? I'm actually not 100% confident on the name Okay, so do you want to I'm you want to bid one more or less? No, I'm going to go to the two actors. I'm going to go to two.
Starting point is 00:30:35 You need just two names? Yeah. All right. So Griffin, you can say, name it, and I'll give him two names. And if he fails, then you'll get the point or you can bid less than two names which would be one or zero and you didn't seem that confident so you mean you're rare move in the community you need to name it yeah you're saying Nate he'll name it in two names. All right. Good. Go, Nick.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Your two names are Lenny Venlo. Venito. Apologize. Apologies to Lenny Venito and his family. And Missy Crider. Those are your two names. But what? No way. What's the name of this movie?
Starting point is 00:31:28 Stigmata. What? 2003? 2003? Oh! No way! There was a movie where Al Pacino yelled at people called Stigmata? No, I was actually thinking of
Starting point is 00:31:43 a movie where he plays the devil. Yeah. That's not it, though. That's not it, either. That was the one with Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron. You guys are all wrong. He's in that movie, though. He plays the devil, right. Guys, the movie is...
Starting point is 00:31:58 It's not called Stigmata. It's Spawn. Okay, thanks, Mark. It's Spawn. It's notawn. Okay, thanks, Mark. It's Spawn. I wasn't... It's not Spawn, but thanks, Mark. I wasn't that far off. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:32:12 You were like totally in the neighborhood. You were like an Uber car that comes 15 minutes later, even though it's been going up and down your street. So, Griffin, I want Griffin to tell us more about this movie because he doesn't know the name, but he knows more about it. I can tell you. First of all, those two people were like day players. They were in and out of that movie so fast.
Starting point is 00:32:33 Sure. Ouch. Because it's kind of a three-hander, that movie. Well. Griffin Byrne. It's about a guy. It's based on a publicist named Bobby Zerum, who's a really big New York publicist. Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:44 And it's a real big New York publicist. Okay. Trust me on this. It's set in the seedy world of New York publicists. I don't know. New York publicists, seedy world. Sounds like hell to me. It's two words, the title. It's like the insider or the outsider.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Stig Mata. I was going to say, you're close to the two words thing. Robert Schiff. Robert Schiff is also in it. It's two words, but it's called G-Lee. Yeah, and Al Pacino was in G-Lee. Who even remembers Al Pacino was in Gigli? With Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.
Starting point is 00:33:29 No, come on, that's not really it. That's really it? And you just let me go on and on about the movie with the publicist? Well, because I kept thinking, maybe that's right. I keep waiting for the handicapped guy played from the guy who's always kidnapped in the Hangover movie. That was a really good practice round. Wow, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:50 We all really confidently didn't know what it was. Even Mark Wahlberg was like, it's Spawn, bro. Spawn. If you say his name, he'll come out again. So Griffin gets a point on that round, everybody. He doesn't even know why. I still don't know how to play this game.
Starting point is 00:34:10 No, that's the charm of the game. You don't even have to know how to play to win. But that means that... That means we're going to do another fucking line, bro. Oh, shit. It's another line from Mark. Doesn't mean anything, but let's try one.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Can I play, too? Well, I can participate in this. Get in on it, ready? All right, I'll get in on it. You ready? Here we go. It's a big fucking race to who can do this first. Okay, here we go.
Starting point is 00:34:34 See, what we got here is a failure to communicate. Cool hand, Luke. It is cool hand, Luke. Hey, guys. Seriously, though. Come check out my dick at this museum. Why don't you...
Starting point is 00:34:48 There's a fucking line, but I'll let you guys budge. Why don't you do a remake of Cool Hand Luke? That seems like a perfect vehicle for you. I keep trying to, but they're stuck on the fucking... We keep trying to do it. We can't make it happen. It just won't happen for some reason. I just don't know why it won't happen.
Starting point is 00:35:02 I'm like, change the fucking Luke part and we're good. Which part? I don't know where he's going with this. What would you call it? I'm in it. Cool hand mark. Okay, you're right. You're right. I should have saw that.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Go ahead and shut that door. How's Donnie doing? Oh, no. Donnie got it. He's going to marry Jenny McCarthy. Yeah. She found out that he
Starting point is 00:35:33 has autism. She's trying to make up to all the people. Why would you say that, Rory? Why, Rory? I'll take it. That got a bigger response than my LL Cool J thing.
Starting point is 00:35:49 You did an LL Cool J thing? You didn't even notice? No, I did not. I did it for you. Ladies love Cool James, and I didn't even notice. You got to put on a Kangol hat first. You get to pick category, Rory. A category.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Would you like... Oh yeah, that's funny. It's the birthday today of the late, great Bruno Kirby. Did you ever work with Bruno Kirby? I was in an acting class with him that he taught. He was just one of the greatest, sweetest, most wonderful guys around. So good in everything he was in an acting class with him that he taught. He was just one of the greatest, sweetest, most wonderful guys around. So good in everything he was in.
Starting point is 00:36:28 So good. Oh, my God. I so thought you were going to say I was asking Nick again. That was a perfect setup for it. I'm not going to do that to him twice. You could have done it three times by now. No, I was very... Rory's the callback king.
Starting point is 00:36:42 That's what they call him on the road. Yeah. That's right. They're like's what they call him on the road Yeah That's right They're like what's up CK So So the films of Bruno Kirby Or Turn Over a New Leaf That's films where Joaquin Phoenix
Starting point is 00:36:56 Was credited as Leaf Phoenix So he's a wee one Nobody ever picks it It's a category that's been banished forever. Or at Blueberry Johnson suggested, you're in this. And that's movies that people on
Starting point is 00:37:14 this panel are in. Yeah. So Rory's really thinking about this as someone who's probably not in any movies. Zero names, I know it. If he was the pie chart of... I was just going to do a Mitch Hedberg job.
Starting point is 00:37:29 It would have been perfect. I should credit him. Is that last one a real thing? Oh, yeah. Movies that you're in? You think I'd throw out a made-up category? Yeah, Doug. No, just kidding, guys.
Starting point is 00:37:43 The category is movies where someone eats a shit pie. You say that like that's an impossible category on this show. I can only think of one movie that qualifies, but yeah. Pink Flamingos, by the way, would be the answer to that. It's not in a pie.
Starting point is 00:38:00 It's just out of a dog. Yeah, well, shit is shit. It's dog shit. They cook up a pie of shit in the help. What was the second one? Oh, no, that Joaquin Phoenix one. I'm not doing that. Isn't the act of having to cook your own shit into a pie as degrading as making someone eat it?
Starting point is 00:38:20 You're slaving over your own shit. Oh, my God. You're slaving over your own shit. Oh my god. Which one did you pick? What was the first one? Bruno Kirby. Do you know Bruno Kirby? No. Yeah, he was so great.
Starting point is 00:38:39 See? Oh, burn. Griffin burn. Oh Burn Griffin Burn Bruno Kirby Lee Phoenix Or Someone on this panel Is in this movie Yeah I'll do that one
Starting point is 00:38:54 I'll do that third one Oh that's fun That's bound to be Hilarious Would you like a movie That someone from this panel Is in from 1994 Or 2007 2007 Yeah Would you like a movie that someone from this panel is in from 1994 or 2007?
Starting point is 00:39:07 2007. Yeah, yeah, 2007. Idiot. Three stars from Leonard. He says this movie is about a fast-rising entertainment reporter and that the unrated version is also available. And he lists
Starting point is 00:39:29 five, eight, twelve names. How many names do you think you can get in Rory? Is the person who's in it name listed? I can't give you that. How many names do you think it'll take you Rory to get that? And then we'll go to Griffin.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Griffin, do you know it? Don't do that. It's cheating. 12 names. He took all the names, Griffin. So you could say like 11, get most of the names. Or you can ask him to name it. There's always a chance
Starting point is 00:40:05 that he and that means that he would come up with all those names i get to list them all for him yeah i would certainly know if you say 11 oh i see if you say 11 worst case scenario nick is going to say name it and i'm going to name 11 cast members out of 12 of a movie from 2007 are you good at that sort of thing are you you talking to him? No. We're all so nervous. He's doing that joke again. No one responds to Doug. The only option I understood that you gave me,
Starting point is 00:40:39 I think... Please go with whatever. This is the only one that stuck. He's 11. Yeah, okay. He says 11 names, Nick. So I'm still in? What? Yeah, you're still in.
Starting point is 00:40:52 I thought that I was out from losing. No, no. It's first person to two points. Nobody gets knocked out. I can name it in zero names. Yeah. So now we're back around to Rory. Who's just stuck having to say name it Because you don't know what it is do you buddy
Starting point is 00:41:09 Well the thing is I don't know it But like him before when he said two names I was like oh Nick's gonna get it right And then he said Stigmata And now they said zero names I'm like he might guess Stigmata again He's a wild card I really am
Starting point is 00:41:24 I think we've established no one up here is in Stigmata And the category is Someone up here is in this I played God's Soul in Stigmata You can name it in zero names It's all voiceover Yeah so he's pretty confident Well there's no option
Starting point is 00:41:43 I have to say negative one or name it, right? Yeah, you could say negative one and then fail to name it because you clearly don't know it. And the point will go to Nick. Okay. Or you could say name it and he will name it because he clearly knows it and the point will go to Nick. So take your time.
Starting point is 00:42:03 I find your tone a little more aggressive with me than Griffin. You're not in two of my favorite movies ever. Name it, Nick. Plus also name that girl. Wait, who's that girl? I'm going to say Knocked Up. Knocked Up is correct.
Starting point is 00:42:24 Yeah, Nick has one scene in a parking lot where he walks by and he says, I'm going to say knocked up. Knocked up is correct. Yeah, Nick has one scene in a parking lot where he walks by and he says, hey. And they actually cut the hey. Oh, what? You don't say anything? You're just standing there? No, I look like I'm going to say something. But in the director's cut, Seth Rogen goes,
Starting point is 00:42:40 oh, that was Nick Thune. And Judd Apatow is like, I don't give a fuck. Let's talk about other stuff. Oh, you mean on the commentary? Yeah. Not in the movie? No, they actually... Like walking away with...
Starting point is 00:42:52 No, they did it in the director's cut. They just actually have Seth saying that. All right, we got a very exciting... We got a very exciting competition going here. Nick has a point. Griffin has a point. Rory could get on the board. You just never know. I has a point. Griffin has a point. What Rory could get on the board, you just never know.
Starting point is 00:43:06 I choose not to. He's a fate guy. But Griffin gets to pick the next category, and then we will go to Rory. Griffin, would you like, as suggested by Josh, Josh underscore
Starting point is 00:43:20 on Twitter, suggested Christopher Waltzen, and that's movies where Christopher Walken dances. All right? Or Koji Werner suggested Barton Stink,
Starting point is 00:43:33 and that's John Turturro movies that got less than two stars from Leonard Maltin. Or Cintrix Phone on Twitter suggested The Nut Job, which is movies where a woman dresses up as a man. The Nut Job. Which one would you like?
Starting point is 00:43:57 Christopher Walken Dances, John Turturro's Bombs are less than two stars, or a woman dressed as a man? Let's do John Turturro. All right. That's the hardest one. Yeah, that's why he picked it. He's clever. He's pretending to not know what's up. One and a half stars from Leonard for this movie
Starting point is 00:44:17 that I vehemently disagree. It's from 1985. I think we played it on the show recently and it's popped up again that's how much I like it he says that this movie is
Starting point is 00:44:34 one of the characters in this movie acts pretty dumb exclamation point yeah and he also says that it's hard to root for anyone in this movie. And he lists nine names. How many names do you think you can get it in? G to the D?
Starting point is 00:44:59 Am I answering? Yes. I can get it in. Those are your initials. I can get it. I got it. But you added an and. It's either G and D.
Starting point is 00:45:06 The D. Is it your middle name, the number two? Yeah, apparently. I just found that out. I'm going to go with, I can get it in ten names. Is that right? I'll add one more name. I'll make somebody up.
Starting point is 00:45:24 I'll pretend that. You said nine people, right? Yeah'll add one more name. I'll make somebody up. I'll pretend that... You said nine people, right? Yeah, nine. I can get it in four names. Oh, Jesus. Fuck. Do you know what it is? I know now that the spirit of this game
Starting point is 00:45:38 is just jump in and make shit up. Yes. I'm going with four. All right, he says four names Rory Name it Alright here we go Your four names are Dwyer Brown Robert Downey Senior
Starting point is 00:45:59 Dean Stockwell That guy was in everything for a while And Darlene Fugel. Oh, God, I haven't thought about Darlene Fugel. But how many movies was she in? Since that night. Since the night you saw this movie? That's where I thought about her.
Starting point is 00:46:19 What do you think that is? Do you know? Do I know what the name of the movie is? Yeah. Yeah, I do. It's called? I don't know, man. Dean Stockwell and... Darlan Fugel.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Yeah, Darlan Fugel. And it's been established that John Turturro is in it. Yeah. And that this particular critic, Leonard Maltin, did not care for it. You won straight on, no, clearly. And nobody's rootable. Yeah, it's completely unrootable. Yes, yes. It's called Perchance to Dream.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Oh! I was so hoping you would say To Live and Die in L.A. Because that's what it's called. Bullshit. I love that movie. That's the movie we're talking about. Yeah, Leonard was way off on that one with the one and a half stars. That's some bullshit.
Starting point is 00:47:16 I rooted for every person in that movie. I loved every single person. William Peterson was kind of a douche in it. I even loved him. It's a really good movie. I loved it. Nothing feels better than Doug going,
Starting point is 00:47:31 oh, I wish you would have said this so you would have won and Rory wouldn't have gotten this point. But I just want to say about To Live and Die in L.A., everybody Wang Chung tonight. Because the whole score was Wang Chung songs. It's quite evocative. They named that movie after Tupac lyrics, actually. So Rory
Starting point is 00:47:54 has now managed to tie it up. It's a three-way tie, you guys! We gotta wrap this up, because then we gotta have a break, and then we have to watch a shitty movie. I mean, a great movie that might be shitty. Kevin's here tonight. Oh, Kevin.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Did you ever work with Kevin Costner? Yes. That one is for Rory. Yes, I have. That's for Rory. Shut up, Griffin. Who's your favorite of all the movies you've directed or been in? Do you have a favorite?
Starting point is 00:48:28 Do you have one that you're most... Which one are you most proud of, Rory? They're all my children. Yeah, right? I love them all. They're all my children Yeah right But I The very first thing I ever directed Was a short movie And that had
Starting point is 00:48:54 Tobey Maguire and Kate Capshaw And Kiefer Sutherland A whole bunch of great people in it And just the experience of that Being the first thing I ever did I had a sentimental favorite for that. Oh, okay. And can people see that somewhere? Can they dial it up online or something? Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:10 You can see it on Netflix and you can see it on YouTube. What's it called again? It's in that bag, probably. What's it called? It's called Duke of Groove. Okay. I remember that name. We slowly find out he's in a promotional tour for that movie.
Starting point is 00:49:29 He slowly unravels. A whistle-stop tour. He's promoting Discoveries, and you're promoting Bad Johnson. And Rory is here as well. I got some dates coming up in Wisconsin. What? Where are you going to be? I'm going to be in Wisconsin. Just wandering the state looking for cheese?
Starting point is 00:49:48 Yep. Vacation. I go there every summer. Had to get away. Yep. Get away. Get away from all this Hollywood. Get away to the cheese. Get out to where people know stuff.
Starting point is 00:50:02 Who challenged who on that last round? Rory got that. I challenged Griffin. Okay, so Nick gets to go first, and then we go to Rory. And this is called, this is a tiebreaker, this is asparagus pee. And that means that I am going to tell you the entire review, and then the bidding begins. So it becomes a game of who knows more
Starting point is 00:50:25 about which actors were in this movie and can name them in the correct order. Four stars from Leonard Maltin for this movie that was directed by Orson Welles. 1949 is when it released. Welles first and best a film that broke all the rules and invented some new ones
Starting point is 00:50:44 with a fascinating story of a Hearst-like publisher and his rise to power. Can we just straight-forward the title already? The cinematography, music score, and Oscar-winning screenplay are all first-rate. A stunning film in every way, and Wells was only 25 when he made it. Incidentally, the reporter with a pipe
Starting point is 00:51:05 is Alan Ladd. Oh, incidentally, Leonard, who gives a shit? No, I guess Alan Ladd was a big deal. I wish you said, incidentally, the name is... Arthur O'Connell is another one of the reporters. Like, Leonard likes to give you little tidbits.
Starting point is 00:51:22 And then he lists 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11 names. How many names do you think you need? Where are we starting? With Nick? I think I was first. No, it's Nick. That movie spawned.
Starting point is 00:51:39 So if you... There is no topic in this one. We just play it. It's the asparagus bee. So you can start with zero if you think you know the title of the movie. Or negative one if you know the lead actor. Negative two if you think you can name two people in it.
Starting point is 00:51:57 I'm going to say one. Negative one. No, I'm going to say one. I need to hear one. You still need to hear one name. This is the greatest yes and of all time. Oh, no, negative one. Negative one.
Starting point is 00:52:13 Negative one, he means to say. See, he says negative one. Virtually locking this up, I imagine, because, Rory, you'd have to name the top two billed people. I feel like once he said one that was his answer that's I would normally agree with you but anxious to wrap this up oh you don't want it you don't away five more seconds for me to do it all right you know what I'll go one oh he's really saying it one Rory so you could Wait, are you now reversing it
Starting point is 00:52:45 because you don't know it? No, I think he's reversing it because he's trying to be a gentleman. Is that true? I can do it in 48 names. You're being a gentleman? No, so you won't get it in Alaska or Hawaii. So if I say...
Starting point is 00:53:07 This is the new Nick. If I say zero names, that means I don't have to say it, right? No, you do have to say it out loud, the name of this movie. Unless he could do it in negative one. He still doesn't know it. I do know it. Okay. I'm now mad that he's being a gentleman to let me win.
Starting point is 00:53:22 I want to be a gentleman and try to let Griffin win. I've won before. So just say zero names, because then Griffin can say negative one. That's what I just asked. He'll name the movie. Yeah, do that. Zero names. All right.
Starting point is 00:53:34 So Griffin just says negative one, and then Nick will be forced to ask him to name it. What do you say, Griffin? What do you say, Griffin? Negative one. He says negative one. But if I knew the title, could I yell it out loud? No, not yet. Okay. Not yet. Hold it in. Name that movie. Alright, so you name the movie
Starting point is 00:53:51 and the top-billed performer. The film is called... What? The film is called... Touch of People. And who's the top-billed actor? Charlton Heston. Alright. Alright. The film is called Touch of people. And who's the top-billed actor? Charlton Heston. All right. The film is called Citizen Kane.
Starting point is 00:54:11 You said 1949. And the top-billed. No, you said it came out in 1949. We were a whole gentleman The next one Of course it was that But I thought You said it came out in 1949
Starting point is 00:54:31 I said 41 I thought I said 41 Oh this is rich That's a big fucking deal This is rich Right but I also said It was his first film I know
Starting point is 00:54:42 Yeah I got all that His best film And it was about a publisher. Yeah, I know. A Hearst. Was Charlton Heston a publisher in that film? It's War of the Worlds, right? Is it War of the Worlds?
Starting point is 00:54:57 Rory. I didn't know those were real clues. This is the first time no one wins. I hope. No, there's a winner. Who challenged? It was Nick.
Starting point is 00:55:13 Yeah, Nick won. Give me your salary patch, kids. But it's all arbitrary as we know from listening to this show. Who was Nick playing for? Just come and... The kid. Kid. Come on, kid. Come on, kid playing for? Just come and... The kid.

Starting point is 00:55:54 Too much cholesterol. Did you put a name on there? Okay, can you come up here and write down a name for me? Because I'll call anybody a shithead on your behalf. That's your prize Come on down, take your time Feel free to write Charlton Heston Just write it down
