Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby, sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey everybody. My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies and we have a proper script for today in my hands so it's business as usual. It's Sunday, July 31st 2022

and my guests are two champions and a world class competitor here to take them on. They are Guy Branum, Mark Ellis andin martindale howdy welcome welcome gentlemen good to be here nobody ever knows what they're supposed to do when i introduce all three people at the same time uh so let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically starting with our returning

champ from dynasty typewriter where he was a it was his first time on the show and he took down a five guest show i believe it's a guy brandon everybody hey guy hey doug good to be here doug would you would you like to know what I've spent the past three days doing? I kind of do want to know, yes. Depressively binging all of You're the Worst, a show I had never watched before. But it turns out, Doug Benson, a major character. Oh, my God. Isn't it weird? Yes, it was delightful.

It's like a multiverse version of uh doug benson like in another world i'm quite a quite a businessman who enjoys wearing suits uh it was it was truly amazing and indulgent and i was watching the show and i was like how is this for anyone who does not live within a mile of the Silver Lake Reservoir, but still a pure delight. Yeah, it was an honor to participate, and thank you for watching it all in one weekend. That is it. You don't have to convince me that you were depressed. It's a funny show, but it's not always a fun show.

Well, that's a great way to spend your time as a champion. I thought for a second, you were going to confess that you've been, you know, studying movie trivia or watching lots of movies but no no duck benson that's how i've spent a lifetime of depression right you've already got all most of the other stuff in uh you're the worst slip through the cracks somehow well we have another returning champ from show number one and number two, basically in San Diego during comic-con it's the Schmo. We love and know Mark Ellis. Hey Mark.

Oh, thank you, Doug. Did you just come up with that off the top of your head? The Schmo we didn't know. Yeah, that's good. I can't write any kind of promo about you without, you know, thinking of some fun way. Use the word Schmo because, of course, you're the co-founder of the Schmo Down and the Schmo's No Movie Podcast. Yeah, and I haven't seen a lot of returns yet from our episode, our most recent episode in San Diego. But what a time that was. And thanks to all the fans that came in person.

I'm actually thrilled that we're not doing this one live because just for the folks at home, I stand five foot ten and a half. That's true. Guy Branum and Justinin martindale well over six feet right right that would be adorable to see you in the middle between my little feet wouldn't even touch the ground i'd be swinging them back and forth you don't want that well okay i'm glad we're all in separate homes for this one just so that mark could be not embarrassed by being pretty, pretty good. It's not a terrible height. It's not the best height, but you know, what'd you say? Five, 11 and a half, five, 10 and a half. Five, 10 and a half. And I cling to it. According to my driver's license,

I'm actually six foot four. I was just having fun at the dmv just to see if they'd noticed and uh shocker they did not they process they don't notice they don't notice shit my eye color was wrong on my id for forever because you know i i just you know wrote something down being silly you just don't you don't think about the consequences um yeah but also joining us today speaking of consequences we've got uh two champions going into today but we've got a guest who's ready to give it a run for their money that's justin martindale hi justin here's what's happening i have been completely bamboozled i had no idea I was going up against two champions, let alone like a game.

So I thank you for the sacrifice. Thank you for throwing me to the wolves. Now I'm like now this is a whole nother ballgame for me. So I'm putting my game face on. Well, it's you know, it's all in fun. These guys are both great competitors. They know a lot of movie trivia, but they probably had some lucky breaks that led to their wins. I don't know. This sounds like a Sunday massacre. I mean, where are you here? How stupid the questions are or how, or how,

or how difficult for that matter. They're stupid. They're stupidly difficult. Justin, I have seen you be destroyed on a Sunday by many things. Movie trivia will just be a nice change of pace. Oh, Hollywood.

Am I right? Yeah, it's don't you worry about it. I realized when you were when we were discussing back and forth what your appearance on the show today it came up you were you said something

is ineffective. You know, is there a specific movie I need to watch to prepare? and i was like oh okay i could have sworn that you'd been on the show at least once before maybe like at ucb or something maybe but your answer to that question was all of them yeah i said if you're gonna if you're gonna prepare for this you need to watch all of the movies so i've been doing that for the past three days while guy has been watching you you need to watch all of the movies. So I've been doing that for the past three days while guy has been watching you. I've been watching all of the movies.

Well, you know, I hope it pays off because there are a lot of movies and we'll probably touch on maybe a dozen of them over the course of the games today. Yeah. So you gotta, you gotta get real lucky that there was, but you never know. That's the crazy thing about it. It's also so arbitrary. But I think you're going to do

great today. I think you'll definitely finish in the top three. And that's something to be proud of. You should have seen Justin last night. Justin and I both performed at the Comedy Store last night. And I introduced him and he was shaking with fear.

And it's not because of the set. It's because he knew what was about to greet him. Because I know you like to say we do this for fun. Guy Branum and I have no fun doing this show. We're here to win. Yeah, now I feel it. No, I feel it. Yeah. And I was shaking because I just recently got my highlights done. So I was nervous. It was a reveal. They do look good. They look really good. Thank you. Before the games begin, though, before we get to that, let's talk recommendations. I've been asking my guests every week lately to recommend a movie.

my guests every week lately to recommend a movie. And the question kind of comes out of the blue. And I just I leave them to, you know, recommend from all movies ever, ever. And so that's a lot to choose from. So I thought it might be interesting to narrow it down a little bit and also focus on somebody who's celebrating a birthday today. It is the birthday of Mr. Wesley Snipes. And he is

out of jail and working quite a bit. He's getting good rolls and doing a good job. So happy birthday to him. But also could each of you please recommend,

could be your favorite Wesley Snipes movie, or it could be one that you're like, this is money in the bank. You know what I mean? Like, like always bet on rising sun. Yeah. What do you think,

guy? Do you have a Wesley Snipes movie to recommend? I think it is really difficult to have two gay men on a show and then say recommend a Wesley Snipes film. Awful! Because there's one that we're both going to want to have him play. But out of respect and deference, I'm going to step back and say, well, first of all, I considered uh like his cameo and

waiting to exhale but that's simply too small of a role i'm gonna say his first movie wildcats it's from 1986 and it is a classic ragtag sports team that shouldn't be doing what they're supposed to be doing doing it goldie hawn is a lady football coach in 1986 and the only job she can get is at an inner city school it's desperately underfunded and one of the rockets teenagers she has to whip into shape by young wesley snipes yeah with his uh along with his buddy uh you know it's a kind of a prequel to why you can't jump because it was Woody Harrelson was in there. Oh, I forgot that. Yeah. Crazy, right? Yeah. Well, that is

excellent. See, that really led things off nicely. And you know, maybe instead of recommending the movie, you can just jot off a letter to Wong Fu and not feel so bad about it.

Mark Ellis? and not feel so bad about it. Mark Ellis. Doug Benson. I am not out of deference to Justin. I'm not going to take Expendables 3. I am going to continue Guy's trend of pairing up Wesley and Woody because White Man Can't Jump is not only my favorite Wesley Snipes movie, it's not only my favorite Woody Harrelson movie,

it's my favorite sports movie of all time. I think it holds up so, so well. The chemistry between them, the fact that they're both so dominant on the court, but they're really putzing around life, just trying to make ends meet.

And Wesley gives Woody the best advice that you could give anybody and that would be listen to the woman four simple words listen to the woman that is terrific advice and also it's my number one it's my favorite jeopardy movie yes and uh the letter q the the you know and of course i'm talking about the game show and not, you know, movies about people that are in jeopardy, which is, you know, Rosie's done her share of that as well. But. Another terrific answer, this is, you know, I can't predict where these things are going to go. And even though we've all indicated that Justin's selection has been made for him.

Justin Martindale, which Wesley Stipes movie would you like to recommend? I mean, hands down, Blade 2. No, I mean, I have to go. I have to go i have to go you guys picked it y'all even thought of it before your own answer so i have to pick to wong fu uh thanks for everything julie mu numar it's about an elite manhattan drag queen named vita boem and noxzema jackson i'm sorry. We've never seen Nogzima ever again. It was such a time in the 90s. They impressed regional judges in competition, securing berths in the Nationals in Los Angeles here at home. When the two meet, pathetic drag novice Chichi Rodriguez, John Leguizamo, one of the losers that evening, charms Vita.

And Nogzima agreed to take the hopeless youngster under their joined wing. Soon the three set off on a madcap road trip across America and struggle to make it to Los Angeles in time. This movie is everything. You're getting a beaten Stalker Channing. You are getting

a strawberry festival in a small town. You're getting Patrick Swayze's jawline with concealer on. You're getting Julie Newmar. It is everything. And then some there's by curiosity in it. There's like trans representation in it. It's everything.

I mean, I believe we get RuPaul in a Confederate flag dress. That's the fucking opening scene when she comes down. My God. Yes. Try doing that in these times. What about what kind of car is it that they drive? Don't they drive around in some sort of convertible or something?

Yeah. Cool car. Yeah. It's like a I'm trying to think. I don't really know. It's like an old school Thunderbird or something like that. I gonna start the bidding at a 57 chevy doug okay i just thought i'd throw in something you know that uh you know the typical guy listening to this show might remember from that movie yeah i mean it's it's a it's a good one. They had a cool car. And Leguizamo's the third main character, right?

Did you say that? Oh, God, how do you put this? They're all the main characters. Yeah, right? It's like a three-hander, basically. It's like the three of them. It's a three-person buddy picture. I mean, honestly, I would say from a plot perspective,

Chi Chi Rodriguez is the one who goes on most of the journey. She's the main character. Yeah. And she, yeah. Spoiler alert. She gets it at the end, you know? Where were you, where were you reading that description from? I just wrote it down before the podcast. i'm kidding it was on imdb

i wanted to i wanted to see what the reviews say and i'm very ashamed that it's had it has a 41 percent rotten tomatoes uh percentage 41 that's homophobic that's homophobic. That's homophobic. For a podcast, like it was like this podcast that Matt Kirshen and Andy, what's his name, did. Wood. Andy Wood did where you watch two movies that came out at the same time with the same premise. And I watched it along with The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, really expecting it to not hold up. And it's like a good movie. Like it's a much better movie than i remembered it i mean you're uplifting women to their full potential yeah oh god and that

little old lady who's in everything she's in it um all right well that's a great job justin but now turn off now i want to watch it. Turn off your IMDb because that would be an excellent source for coming up with answers. Really start playing these games. OK, it's off. Yeah. Yeah. We have everybody has to trust, you know, it's all right. He's got a little IMDb robot next to him that he just. Hey, I'm sorry, Mark. I'm sorry. I the ceo of imdb last week in san diego at comic-con so oh we know you were on the boat every day it's a it's a part of me now i love the

imdb boat so much it's fun i can't even tell you how much because it's just easy you know it's just photo ops and uh appetizers and drinks like like i don't know if anybody's into that sort of thing but they i didn't drink very much on the boat but you could get hammered on the boat they give you anything you want oh yeah anything yeah i actually so fucked up i believe i shared a beverage with one with a young Doug Benson back in the day on an IMDb boat. Once upon a time, Justin apparently got to meet the, the, like the creator, the founder, the president, Bill IMDb. He got to meet. Well, that dude's always hanging out on the boat. We met him, uh, you know,

a few years ago, the last comic-con before, uh, yeah. Yeah. We met him there and he's very approachable, very nice. And I still, from that particular visit, I still cherish to this day my sailor hat that says IMDb on it. It's good merch. I didn't ask him what his favorite

movie was. You just flat out asked IMDb what his favorite movie is? Yeah, White Beat Around the Bush, you know? Yeah, just get right to it. What did he say? He said, No Time to Die with Daniel Craig. What is wrong with him?

I don't know. That is bizarre. It's not even the best Daniel Craig one. Justin said, what's his favorite movie? And then the guy responded, I'm more of a reader. Bizarre. It's not even the best Daniel Craig one. Justin said, what's his favorite movie? And then the guy responded, I'm more of a reader. Then I'd jump off the boat. He's very nice.

I do appreciate that he has an answer to that question. Maybe he misheard you. Maybe maybe he thought you said, you know, what's your favorite movie that has a boat in it? Right. Or he probably said, stop talking to me or die. And I just got it confused. I don't know. You're like, I don't have any time for that. used i don't know yeah you're like i don't have any time for that no time to die which boy you know i guess enough time has passed to say this but that is such a what a spoilery title like every other james bond movie when they talk about him dying you're like yeah right it's just an expression but this one that's also why it's weird that that's his favorite one. The one where Jason finally

perishes. Oh, yeah, that's... Oh, I like it. Alright, well, those are all great Wesley Snipes recommendations. I appreciate you giving them to me and to the listeners. If anybody

hasn't seen any of these three great movies, now's the time to check them out again. It's never too soon to watch Wildcats or White Men Ketchup or To Wong Fu. Thanks for everything, Julie Newmar. Really heavy influence on the letter W, I'm noticing. These titles. For Wesley. Yeah, Wesley. heavy influence on the on the letter w i'm noticing these titles interesting yeah wesley wesley wild bats white men wong food long food nights yeah yeah yeah all right well thanks

for that and we're gonna go to a brief commercial break and we'll be right back we are back and i'm so excited for this first game we're going to play today because it's a new game, Justin. So Guy and Mark don't have any kind of a leg up on you in terms of having played it before or heard it being played. The game is called Witch Gun. Yeah. I'll read a quote and then

we'll start with Guy then we'll go to Mark and then we'll go to Justin I'll read a quote Guy will tell me if it's from Top Gun Maverick oh okay OG Top Gun Top Gun Maverick. Oh, okay. OG Top Gun, Top Gun 1. Or

neither. Top Gun None. And then if Guy misses it, then Mark gets a crack at it. And if Mark misses it, then you get a chance, Justin. And whenever somebody gets the right answer, the next person in line goes next on the next one.

Okay. Are you ready, Guy? Yes. All right. This is just for Guy. And your options are Maverick, one or none. And here is the quote. Don't say anything.

Your words would be useless. Just fly the damn plane. I'm going to say original recipe, Top Gun. I am sorry to say that is incorrect. That is incorrect. We now go to Mark Ellis. Who is currently wearing a naval aviator jumpsuit. Oh God.

Is it, can I have the quote again, Doug? Yes, you can. Don't say anything. Your words would be useless. Just fly the damn plane. I feel like I haven't seen that in a top gun. So I'm going to say top gun. None. anything, your words would be useless. Just fly the damn plane.

I feel like I haven't seen that in a Top Gun, so I'm going to say Top Gun none. You're going neither. Going neither. All right. Mark's here to play. That is correct. Wow. I mean. It's from neither.

It is from a motion picture called Fire Fox starring Clint Eastwood. Oh, wow. It is from a motion picture called Firefox starring Clint Eastwood. Oh, wow. That's. Yeah. Sounds like real Top Gun. Talk to me, though. It sure does. All right, Justin, you're up first on this next one. All right. All right. Is it Top Gun one or Top Gun none or Top Gun colon Maverick in which this line is spoken.

Great Mavs real slick. As someone whose brother just got promoted in the Air Force this weekend to major, I'm a I'm a, uh, huge, um, what are they called? Airplanes fan. Yes. Um, this sounds, I mean, this sounds like an aviatrix. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know what that means. Um, but my brother does, um,

I like this because there's a hint of vintage in it i think if they say the word slick in uh top gun maverick that's uh what the call uh the kids call cringe i think um i think i'm gonna go with it sounds like it could be and Slick is 80s in which Top Gun came out. So I'm going to say original Top Gun. Justin? For the win. No? It's going, you know, you'll just get a point if you're right,

but you're saying Top Gun won. That's your final answer. Yeah, Top Gun won. I'm'm so nervous i feel like it's squid game is there a reason to be nervous because you're correct yes yes that is correct it is uh that's something that uh Mav says to himself. I think you can only call yourself slick. No one else can be around you.

Yeah. Real slick, Mav. All right, guy. Here's your chance to get on the board. Top Gun 1, Top Gun 2, or Top Gun 9. Can't you make it through the day without proving what an asshole you are? All right. Now here's

the quote. Which one? Is that from one two or none? I just proved what an asshole I was by not playing along with the joke. I'm very sorry. That is from Top Gun Maverick. That's from Top Gun Maverick, you say? Yes.

I'm sorry to say. Not not correct. Mark, what do you think? Well, Slick, I think that it is actually from Top Gun None, the prequel that does not exist.

You're going None. I'm going None, baby. All right. Bold move by a bold player. That is correct. Mark, you're so good mark you're very good top guns i know i knew i knew he was gonna like he's gonna slaughter this round he loves top gun doug you want to hear how big of a fan i am of top gun i was actually at justin's brother's graduation. I was not even there. Mark was. Wow. Well, that

line, that asshole line was from the movie Iron Eagle. Yes. Word. Yeah. All right. So Justin, you got some work to do here. All right.

Any one of you boys see an aircraft carrier around here? Is Justin on the IMDb boat? With just an open caftan? Hello, boys. Who has monkeypox? Let me see. I mean, that sounds very Kelly McGillis to me. So I will go.

I'll go OG Top Gun again. That is correct. Well done. Thank you. I'll go OG Top Gun again. That is correct. That is correct. Well done. Thank you. It's not Kelly McGillis, though. It's him from the opening sequence when he saves that guy and he flies him back, even though he went crazy.

I'm sorry, Doug, if I'm on the board. I know. You still got a point, but it was Maverick who said that. Which again, the homoerotic subtext of Top Gun 1 is endless. Because why would he say any of you boys? Any of you boys? I know. Maybe Kelly McGillis wishes she could have said that line, you know?

Yeah, no, it does sound like either Kelly McGillis wishes she could have said that line, you know? Yeah, no, it does sound like either Kelly McGillis or Jessica Rabbit would say. Yeah. Any of you boys seen aircraft? And while standing on aircraft carrier, because the idea is she's so beautiful, they don't even notice where they are. Mm-hmm. Okay.

Mark has two points. Justin has two points. Guy, this is your chance to get on the board i have nothing yes you do you have us guy we're here together one two or none there is no dignity for a pilot being grounded captain um i am going to say Top Gun None just because I'm really hoping we got some Airwolf in here if we're going to have Iron Eagle and we're going to have

Firefox I want some helicopter representation yes well I think you're really going to love this because not only are you right yay also that line was from Iron Eagle 2. Oh, you did it, guy.

Yeah, Iron Eagle 2. All right, guys on the board. Mark, are you ready? This is where you really got to pull it out here, buddy. This is the one game I was born ready for. This is the one. This is for the win, this one. When I fly, I'll have you you know, my crew and plane come first.

That is Maverick. Justin's going to like this because it's actually Maverick chastising Kelly McGillis, his character, Charlie, because she questioned his flying tactics in class. But it's really just to cover up the fact that she's fallen for him. That is from Top Gun OG. That is correct. And congratulations everybody. I brought Mark

here today so that he could realize that his love of the Top Gun films is a sickness and that he needs help. And this is proof that he likes them too much. Congratulations. And who hasn't questioned Tom Cruise's

flight status, you know? So that's... He's still... I still haven't seen Tom Good Maverick and I'm thinking that maybe I might never see it just

because I know that would make Mark Ellis unhappy. Doug, don't do this to me. He'll leave. He'll leave right now. He'll go. After one of the shows this past weekend at Comic-Con, it was like everybody in the green room was having an intervention for Doug.

We all took turns telling him why we love Top Gun still hasn't seen it still hasn't seen it i still haven't gone but i you know i i do intend to see it but i i really enjoy there's someone out there that it really means a lot to them if i see it can i can i say something real quick about mark i remember when it came out and we were in the green room and you said to me, you were like, Justin, I'm going to be really sad because I'm going to have to compare every other movie

I see to Top Gun Maverick. Yep. You remember saying that? It's going to be the Top Gun Maverick scale henceforth. No movie, hardly any movies are going to top it, I feel. No, I've peaked.

I've peaked. Yeah, good luck Avatar 2. Mark Ellis is not buying it. I can't wait. Really? You're excited about that? Oh, yes. It's Avatars Underwater. It's like a gay Enya video.

I can't wait. Just put on Orinoco Flow and let me masturbate, please. I worry that it's taken so long to make this movie because everybody that buys a ticket is just going to get sucked into that world and never return. Yeah, As we should, because this one's on fire. They've just been building a portal and

setting it up in all the cinemas. Let's know. I'm done. We've got to take another commercial break. It's very exciting going into our next game, because all Mark won for being such a top gun

weirdo is that he gets to go first in our next game, which isn't even necessarily an advantage. And we will play that game right after this break. We'll be right back. We are back and Mark Ellis gets to go first. How many you've won a few episodes in a row here.

Now this would be win number three. If you go all the way today. Yeah. I mean, I, I, I got the two in San Diego and that was my first time running the sweep in the gas lamp district. And so now if I can cross over to the virtual side of things and get a W it would, it's going to feel like 2020 again, which was the last time I got to win. Yeah, it's like the EGOT. You're like almost EGOT, Mark. I'm one Emmy, one Grammy, one Oscar and one Tony.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You've got the silent letter and EGOT. You've got that locked up. Yeah. And then now you just got to get all those hard letters. yeah and then now you just kind of get all those hard letters that are hard one there thing is the thing is is a like doug you do you do one show at the winter garden theater suddenly doug loves movies is tony eligible and you know it really opens things up he really that's yeah that's a good point that's a really good point um i hope i can get into the winter garden i don't know how long Music Man's going to last. I've never seen Music Man, but when Music Man comes on stage, do you think he says,

hello, boys? Anybody see some music around here? Absolutely. Hugh Jackman, are you kidding? Yeah, it's a really uh it's a probably a pretty interesting performance you know uh because he it over the years like uh the people that play the music man like robert preston in the movie like it's like you know there's he's like not a singing and dance man except except for to con all these people, you know, like whereas Hugh Jackman, he just wants to sing and dance. Yeah. Yeah. Like Robert Preston's performance is really good.

That man is like greasy and entertaining at the same time. Yeah. Yeah. And but, you know, I mean, whereas like hugh jackman you're just gonna be like him lying to people you're gonna be like what the fuck is this singing dancing happy guy doing lying what's going on is he insane where you know it's all means to an ends for uh for when robert preston does it but anyway i'm sure it's a fine show and I hope they do well. Is this the next category game? Oh, God. The next game, yes, the next game

is shows that have played the Winter Garden Theater. Oh, my God. No, we're not crossing over to Broadway today, but you never know when musicals are going to come up because I like to mention them on the show

because they only make one or two of them a year at this point. So it's an exciting occasion for me. But this game we're going to play right now is called Whose Tagline Is It Anyway? And it's a tagline game uh we'll start with mark ellis because he won that last thing um we'll start with you mark i'll tell you a tagline from a motion picture uh it could be any film from the history of cinema and movies okay any. Any film that Justin watched in the last three days is eligible.

Yeah. I was busy. They could be in there. And here's where we're going first. You know, it may not necessarily be an advantage or a disadvantage, but a theme will emerge potentially

amongst these taglines as we play this game so it's a huge advantage for me because i couldn't lose the top gun i couldn't lose the top gun game doesn't matter if if you said hey mark if you win the top gun game you lose the show i still would have had to take it you have to win the the Top Gun game. Yeah, I can't. All my college friends would never talk to me again. You had to win. And just like on the last show where you took over and I played the game, you know, I played your game.

I had to win that one, you know, and it would have been, it was bad enough that I forgot the script for my own show. But then if I get challenged to a trivia match where I'm going to play, I had to win. So thank you for, thank you for facilitating that, that win by asking me questions about movies. Cause as it turns out, I do know a lot about movies. Yes. You're a, you're a great competitor.

I feel like now though, more than ever, I'm starting to get into, I don't know if it's COVID, I don't know if it's age, I don't know what it is, but I'm starting to get into that where I can't think of a name of somebody. I can picture them. I can't think of it. And I go, oh, is this starting to happen now? Am I going to be less helpful in pub trivia? Is my team going to say he's losing it? I'm sorry. Doug Benson, a comedy professional

whose identity is so bound up with the concept of marijuana, like, you are now slightly having a little bit of trouble with recalling pub trivia. I am shocked. I am stunned.

Yeah. Wow. I don't blame the weed though because I see a lot of people about it not being able to remember things that never touched it a day in their life. I'm going downhill at trivia as I

go through my 40s. I'm pissed off. trivia as I go through my 40s. I am pissed off. If you and I are essentially experiencing the same amount of memory degradation, why didn't I spend the entirety of the 2000 stoned? I missed out on so much. Yeah, you should have.

Plus now, if you do have trouble thinking of something, because it's usually something trivial that I don't really need to know the answer. I could just, you know, it's in my hand. Yes. Look it up on my phone. So easy.

All right. So, Mark, you're going to go first. And then we'll go to Guy and then to Justin. Wow. How did that happen? And good luck, everybody. All right, let's do it. You just get

one guess each. It's from all movies ever made, these taglines. It's not easy, so just come up with something that comes into your head. Guy Branum pulled out an amazing one on the show. It's part of why he's here today on the live show at Dicey Typewriter.

The tagline was something like, this is the most magnificent movie ever made. Is that what it was? Something like that. Yeah. Something to that effect. And Guy said, God with the wind and he was

correct wow there was zero clues there was zero clues in the clue other than you know a lot of people would say that that movie is the most magnificent yeah that's a hell of a pool by a guy and and gone with the wind is lucky that it was released before Top Gun Maverick. Yeah, it really came at the right time in history for people to deal with it. I can't even, I've never seen it and I don't want to watch it. I've seen

scenes and parodies like I'd rather watch the Carol Burnett parody of it. I feel like I'm still getting what happened in the movie. It's like, I'd rather watch the Carol Burnett parody of it. I feel like I'm still getting what happened in the movie. It's like a good Thanksgiving movie, you know? Okay. It takes like six hours to watch. It divides families still.

Yes. It portrays slavery as fundamentally charming. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it's really good with the turkey and mashed potatoes all right well then force everybody to watch 12 years a slave or something right after it all right so um okay so mark you ready i am prepared sir okay as prepared as you'll ever be. One movie is the tagline Heroes Aren't

Born, They're Built. Heroes Aren't Born, They're Built. I got an idea, but I'm not sure they would have kicked off the whole thing with that. Well,

it's an hour show, right, Doug? What's that? It's an hour long show. Yeah, I'm sorry. I turned on the clock. You've got 12 more minutes. Okay, good. Go to the commercial.

For this whole show to be finished. No, not for just your answer. We're going to need an answer now. I'm going to go with Iron Man. Oh, Iron Man, like the first of the... Yeah, I don't think the MC would have kicked off with that, but you never know. Right. It's a guess.

You know, that's part of this game is you just gotta guess. That is correct. Wow! Wow! That is the answer. Wow! Way to go. That's a wild one.

I'm like a little tiny Guy Branum. Yeah. See, now you wish you were sitting in between these giants in front of an audience because the applause you would have gotten for what just happened. I know. That was good, Mark.

That would have recharged your battery for like a year. I'm just like a little tiny David with two Goliaths. Yeah. No, just killing it. All right. But the Goliaths get a chance and a guy gets to go first or next, I should say. First and next guy. What movie had the tagline,

a hero shows his true colors. a hero shows his true colors um a hero shows his true colors i mean like i don't know what hero is so directly involved with colors unless it was one of the rainbow bright films unfortunately the genders don't work the genders just don't hold together for that they never do yeah um oh god a hero shows his true colors um uh I doubt that your theme would be all Marvel movies but

I'm still gonna go Captain America Civil War no I'm sorry that is not correct Justin oh wait I get the same one yeah that's what I'm saying is now it comes to you and then if you don't get it then Mark gets a shot at it

can you say it again one more time please yes would you like me to do that now at it. Can you say it again one more time, please? Yes. Would you like me to do that now? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, please. That'd be great. Thank you. Here goes. A hero shows his true colors.

Shows his true colors. A hero shows his true colors okay i'm just gonna guess um just do it roger rabbit who from roger rabbit no i love that guess that's a really good guess. Mark Ellis. Well, Doug, I'm between two and, um, I, I think it's either, I mean, you know, again, we're thinking like colorful characters, so it could be like the incredible Hulk. It could be that, that first Edward Norton incredible Hulk movie. But, um,

I have a feeling, and again, if I was running Marvel, I don't know that I necessarily would have been the guide to bring this up as the tagline for the movie, but I'm going to take a swing and say it's Black Panther. Oh. Sorry, I was suppressing

a sneeze. That is incorrect. You sneeze weird. That's why I decided to come up with a game show is that my sneezes sound like a boing. The answer, you were right there on it buddy is

the Incredible Hulk oh man from 2008 wait that was real yeah true colors was the Ed Norton Incredible Hulk oh the Ed Norton it Hulk. Oh, the Ed Norton. It was the next in the Marvel

after Iron Man. But I'm not confessing to a theme just yet. Okay. Okay. We're back to it's Guy's turn, right? Yeah.

All right, Guy. What movie has a tagline Even Heroes Fall? Oh. Even Heroes Fall. I'm going to assume is

the Superman movie where he he is supposed to have died in the most recent like dc series but i don't know the name of that like i don't know the name of any of the like it's Superman Returns is the Bryan Singer one and I don't know the names of any of the more recent one we read it to me again

yes even heroes fall alright Superman Returns I got nothing else okay that's incorrect Justin I was going to go with my original guess but then guys makes sense I was going to go with my original guess,

but then guys make sense. Cause I think I, that sounds familiar. Um, can I say what I was going to say? Wait, I think, I think what guy was,

was trying to guess was Batman versus Superman. Oh, I see. I see. I see. Okay. I was going to guess was Batman versus Superman. Oh, I see. I see. I see. I was going to guess Avengers Endgame, but I think it could be Batman versus Superman because I think at the end there was like a big one of them died

or something. Okay, so which one do you want to go with? I'm going to go with Batman versus Superman. I love you, Guy. Incorrect. Incorrect. All right. Mark. It's Steel Magnolias. God damn it.

Yeah, this is a tricky one because I got two movies that I sort of circled when I heard it. It, it was a great, great notion by Guy and Justin to go Superman. I wasn't even thinking that, but you know, he flies thus, he probably falls occasionally. Um, I feel like it's either, uh, Captain America,

civil war because you know, they're, they're scrimmaging against each other or it's it's Thor because he fell from asgard and that also makes sense in the mcu canon so i'm gonna say thor incorrect good guess though mark but none of your other guesses that you didn't end up guessing were correct. This was from Iron Man 3. Ooh, yeah. Right. Damn it. Right? I mean, there's no way anyone could have gotten that. That was hard. That was a tough one.

Alright, guys. The tagline should have been this is the one where Gwyneth Paltrow has powers. Yeah. We all have gone unseen, right? I love alternate taglines for Iron Man 3, such as hey, kids, don't get your heart set on the Mandarin. Who likes

disappointing villains? Raise your hands. Okay. Guy? Yes. This summer. One of those taglines. Remember those that said this summer? Yes. The galaxy won't save itself.

Okay. Then I'm going to say it is Guardians of the Galaxy. That is incorrect. Oh, no. I'm going to say Guardians of the galaxy 2 i have to turn to mark and say uh do you think we should allow this

i think that we should if i didn't care so much for my dear friend justin and if he wasn't for mimosas deep then maybe we'd have a conversation. But I think he got close enough to the real title of the movie. So, yes. I think that's fair and it's a good sportsman-like assessment. Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2. Volume 2. Yeah.

But I thought it was strange that the tagline made it sound like uh you know it does sound like a guy you know as far as i'm concerned that's what i would have guessed as well you know that does sound like the first one like why would they say you know the galaxy needs saving for part two after we've already seen that yeah i don't know i guess it's saving it again. A nice again would have really helped me out there. Right? The galaxy won't save itself again.

Yeah. Yeah, I like it. I like it a lot. Okay, so Justin got that one. Congratulations, Justin. Thank you. And now we go to Mark.

Hit me. What movie had the tagline, no shield, no armor, no problem? Oh. Hmm. No shield, no armor, no problem. shield, no armor, no problem. I think that this is probably

Ant-Man. Ant-Man is correct. That is correct. Very well done. Here we go guy okay it's not

the armor that makes the hero but the man inside oh so I have to assume this is Iron Man 2 that is correct I mean so quick Oh, so I have to assume this is Iron Man 2. That is correct.

I mean, so quick. That is correct. I am very, very sad to say that in spite of Guy getting on the board there, not enough Mark has won this game and the entirety of today's game. Congratulations, Mark. You did it. So that game actually meant something? I don't just get to go first

again next? Nope. And we'll see if you get to go first on the next episode you appear on. Just depends on where you fall in the alphabet with the last name Ellis. You know, it's unlikely there'll be too many players ahead of you. I didn't think I'd be beat in that game. And then Guy Branum shows up and just blows me out of the water. Yeah. Yeah. Well, as you have, as you figured out, this is all,

this is all Marvel movies because this was a game that I had prepared for the show while we were down at Comic-Con. And we didn't get to play it. So thanks for playing it with me today, you guys. And you go first with the plugs, Mark Ellis. What would you like to say to promote yourself? Well, it was an absolute pleasure competing with my new dear friend, Guy, and my old dear friend, Justin. And check out Justin's head of hair if you haven't already. I am going to be in Las Vegas at Brad Garrett's Comedy Club, September 5th through the 11th.
