Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sickies He lives 50 as a pop-up terminal, then it's 50 There's still not one that he won't sleep with The love of the movies Hey everybody. My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies. Coming to you from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday, August 9th to Ocean's 11.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Apologies to any babies or prophets who were offended by last week's show and thanks to everyone who came out to the boner episode taping of Doug Loves Movies at the Comedy Factory in Baltimore, Maryland available soon or now on iTunes for $2
Starting point is 00:01:00 my flight to Baltimore was delayed you guys we had to start the show late, started about an hour or so late. I didn't eat dinner because we raced over to the club and people sent up drinks right away. So I got, I was blackout drunk by halfway through the show. Like I had to listen to the show to find out what happened after about halfway through. I only to listen to the show to find out what happened after about halfway through. I only remember
Starting point is 00:01:28 to a certain point. It is... I can't say that it's a great episode, but it is certainly... Trainwreck was used a lot in tweets the next day from people that were there. So I'm just saying, let the buyer beware.
Starting point is 00:01:46 You know, caveat emptor. Buy this at your own risk. But thanks again, Baltimore, for being patient with the late start and for sending up all the shots, shots, shots. Thanks also to the 600 peeps who came out to my show at the Wilbur Theater in Boston and to the 6,000-plus 311 fans
Starting point is 00:02:08 who screamed at Graham Elwood and I during our entire appearance on stage at the Pow Wow Festival. It was really fun to be there, but the audience was just like, the whole time, and Graham was like, I'm going to do a bit, and the audience was like, and then he'd stop,
Starting point is 00:02:27 and so our whole performance was crazy. It was mostly me kicking beach balls back into the crowd. But like I said, I had a great time. And I can't wait for the next 311 cruise. It's going to be in May. Two Oceans 12. Oh, yeah. Peanut. So the number one movie
Starting point is 00:02:46 in the country right now is Rise of the Planet of the Apes which I... Three people enjoyed. We have some monkeys in the audience. I haven't seen it yet because I refuse to see any movie that has of the in the title twice. New rule.
Starting point is 00:03:10 I'm going to be at the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana on August 21st doing a Benson interruption and please bring your name tags because I'm going to have a special guest come down to the Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana and play the Leonard Maltin game head toto-head against
Starting point is 00:03:25 audience members. So that's going to be a lot of fun. My guests tonight are three of my favorites. Please welcome, traffic pending, one of them might not be here yet. Please welcome James Gunn, Steve Agee, and Jeff Garlin! Garland.
Starting point is 00:03:48 All right. Only two of us. Fair enough. No Jeff. No Jeff Garland. Hi, Jeff Garland. He's stuck in traffic. He called me from his cell phone.
Starting point is 00:04:04 There's an RV tipped over on the freeway. There is. Anybody else drive anybody else you see that thing it looks like an rv fell from the sky it's just like a big smashed open rv like i literally thought it i was like looking for a cliff that it fell from but it's there's nothing around it it's just a big smashed open rv it's like something out of Magnolia. The original draft of Magnolia. Yeah, yeah. One frog makes an RV flip over.
Starting point is 00:04:33 I think it's from the future. That was James Gunn talking about the RV, everybody. Super is out on DVD today! Yay! Oh, I love that movie. I saw it two and a half times. on DVD today. Yay. Oh, I love that movie. I saw it two and a half times. Why half? As front row Jordan
Starting point is 00:04:53 with the baseball nose. There was a half a time because we did some sort of Q&A thing and I only saw the first or the second half. I forget which. Is that the time you did
Starting point is 00:05:03 the Q&A with Michael Rooker and Sean Gunn? We did one Q&A with Michael and Sean and Steve. Which was like the first, the worst Q&A ever, right? Well, I had a great time. I thought the audience had a great time. But Michael Rooker and probably Sean were not told that I was a comedian. They were confused. And they also thought you were going to be there.
Starting point is 00:05:28 So they were like, why is, you know, one of them was like, why isn't my brother here? They were both, why isn't my brother here? Yeah, three actors who are arguably supporting roles. Yeah. So there was no leads there. But we still had a fun Q&A because Rooker is fucking Rooker and your brother's funny
Starting point is 00:05:49 and then Steve Agee was there I remember last time we were here we were about halfway through I was here with Rooker and we were halfway through the whole show before Rooker realized you were the same guy I was that same guy Q&A with one week before
Starting point is 00:06:03 and he was like that guy wasn't funny but you're funny it's like well it's my crowd this time but but yeah it was
Starting point is 00:06:11 it was fun I love doing all that stuff in support of that movie because I saw it at South by Southwest and and loved it
Starting point is 00:06:20 are you reading this? no I looked I looked down to see what's next. That was from the heart. This next part was written down. The opening title animated sequence is fantastic. I love how all of the characters are out of breath at the end. I wrote that down. Because that is amazing.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Because I saw it today. Somebody tweeted just the opening title sequence. Yeah, sequence yeah there's a website called art of the title which is a pretty cool website which just goes through different title sequences and how they came about how they were made and it shows you the whole title sequence yeah I'd say I'd say yours is probably the best ones what's another good one over the recent years like I thought the land had a great I really liked catch Me If You Can. Catch Me If You Can was great.
Starting point is 00:07:07 And they do older stuff like Vertigo and things like that as well. But it's a great site. But yesterday they posted the super titles and talked to Shad and Julia Vickerman and the folks who put together the title for the company called Puny Entertainment. How much notage did you have to give them? Like how much back and forth was there in creating that? Here's the weird thing about the opening titles. I originally hired another company to do the opening titles.
Starting point is 00:07:33 And when I saw their version, because in the script it was kind of specific. It's like, this happens, Michael Rooker shoots beams out of his eyes, and then this guy explodes. And then at the end it becomes a big dance sequence with everybody from the cast dancing together. I got the first draft of their opening titles and there was three people kind of moving a little bit shaking.
Starting point is 00:07:56 That was their dance sequence. I literally, truly cried because it was so different from what I wanted. Why isn't Greg Henry in the dance sequence as the detective? Where, where's Andre Royal? And where's Steve A.G.? Oh, Bubz from The Wire is in Super. I love that guy.
Starting point is 00:08:11 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I fired them and hired Puny Entertainment, who does Yo Gabba Gabba, you know, and they came through. So the first time I saw it, it was great. But there was a script to it. I mean, it says, you know, but they added a lot of stuff, and they really took it all the way we had a few you know it's so fun and how many how much uh when did the song get become a part of it oh the song the song was a part of it from the first time i wrote the script i imagined that song czar's calling all destroyer being part of the opening you know credits when i first imagined all those characters dancing to uh the song i imagined using that song it's amazing it makes you so
Starting point is 00:08:49 pumped for the movie and then the movie's so heavy and dark and fucked up that it's yeah it's a great experience it cuts directly from the big dance sequence to a very depressing scene between kevin bacon and michael and uh and uh rain wilson but you said that uh on twitter today you said that you think that more people have seen it since it came out today on DVD than the entire theatrical release. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Everybody's seeing it today.
Starting point is 00:09:12 Yeah, yeah. I've gotten just hundreds and hundreds of messages from people who have seen the movie on Blu-ray and DVD today. I think especially from the East Coast, once it started becoming like evening time there, it's been coming in all day, and it's been pretty fun, pretty exciting. Because you can get it anywhere now, and it's such a limited release.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Walmart. Best Buy, I think there's an extra DVD with extra stuff on it. Oh, really? Rain and I will be there. The original animated sequence. You guys are going to do a signing here. This is going to plop on Friday, but for the people sitting here, you're doing a signing tomorrow at Amoeba?
Starting point is 00:09:45 At Amoeba, yeah. Okay, cool. So check that out if you're here in this audience now. If you're listening, don't bother to, don't like try to get a train or plane ticket. Steve, were you upset that your super character wasn't in the opening animation? I was in the opening animation. Oh, then I take that one back. in the opening animation?
Starting point is 00:10:03 I was in the opening animation. Oh, then I take that one back. Very briefly, you can see me. What do you do in that? What am I doing? I don't remember. I think I'm chasing... I think you blow... You're in the background blowing yourself.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Yeah, that could be it. Jerking off. Yeah, you play the comic book store jerk-off. Yeah. Do you work there, or are you just hanging out there? I think... You tell me.
Starting point is 00:10:27 What's your backstory of your character? I work there. That's what you do because you're behind the counter sleeping. You work there with Ellen Page. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Who, by the way, I just want to throw this out there because I know there's one person, at least one person that listens to this podcast that's an Academy voter. So I think there should be a serious campaign
Starting point is 00:10:46 for Ellen Page for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in that movie. I agree. You know, I mean, Rainn Wilson's awesome too,
Starting point is 00:10:54 but to hope for a Best Actor nod would be like, that's really crazy. But for her, since she's been nominated previously and is so amazing
Starting point is 00:11:04 and is a very pivotable... Pivotable? It's pitiable and pivotal. And then when they introduce her at the Academy and they show the scene, it could be the one either where she rapes Rainn Wilson,
Starting point is 00:11:19 or the scene where she makes fun of the way mongoloids look. Because that's the kind of thing the Academy loves. It is. It will be troublesome for the clip department at every TV station in the world. Or the part where she talks about how her vagina
Starting point is 00:11:35 is gushy. Gushy. Anyway, she's great in it, so I'm going to campaign for her. I campaigned for the girl who played Hit Girl last year. That didn't really work out. My campaigns can't do anything, but I still try. So Jeff Garland, let me ask you this. Go ahead, ask me.
Starting point is 00:12:00 I'll ask Steve who played Jeff, and I'll ask him the question I wrote down for Jeff. What do your kids think of Wall-E? Isn't it fucking bleak for children? My kids went to the movie and they didn't even know it was me. Nothing makes me happier than Jeff Garlin laughing while he's telling his story. It's so awesome.
Starting point is 00:12:31 How's it sound? I don't know. It's amazing. Oh, God. If he gets here, I'm sure he'll do it. Let's talk about him as if he's dead. He was so... He was so great.
Starting point is 00:12:40 I know he was heading over in his... I know he was heading over in his RV. Yeah. He was heading over in the sequel to RV. And Robin Williams was yelling and Cheryl Hines was like, we've worked together. So what have you guys seen lately?
Starting point is 00:12:59 Have you been to the cinema lately with all the excitement of Super coming out? I saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes on Sunday, which to me was by far the best blockbuster
Starting point is 00:13:10 of the summer. I mean, I loved it. And I got teary-eyed. Turned out better than Green Lantern. Barely. Barely better.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Better than... But that's pretty... So you really liked it. I can't... I'm having trouble getting into it. I haven't seen it yet. Did you see it? I haven't seen it. Dude, it's great. Did you really liked it. I can't. I'm having trouble getting into it. I haven't seen it yet. Did you see it?
Starting point is 00:13:26 I haven't seen it. Dude, it's great. Did you guys see it? Those monkeys. The reviews are pretty good. It gets three or four stars from pretty much everyone. Yeah, I mean, I heard the studio didn't have, I mean, they didn't show it to people until like three days.
Starting point is 00:13:39 They didn't show it to critics until like three days before the film came out. Why do you think they didn't know they had a good movie on their hands? You know, because studios are idiots. They don't know if a movie is good or if people are going to like it. And they have other movies they put out there right away that they think are going to be big hits, or not big hits, that people are going to like, and other ones they don't.
Starting point is 00:13:56 But, I mean, people love the movie. I went to see it with eight people this weekend. It was my birthday this weekend. Yeah, happy birthday. Who cares? And I went to see it with like eight people and every single person I was with loved the movie.
Starting point is 00:14:14 That's great. I'm glad you all liked it and I hope I will like it but I'm still skeptical. You know, the emotional part of it works and it's great seeing those apes run around and kill humans. You are 100% wanting gorillas to kill humans at the end of the movie. I mean, it's like every time a gorilla throws a guy off a bridge, you're happy. Yeah, like Tom Felton's really mean to the monkeys, I heard.
Starting point is 00:14:39 Yeah. So, I saw Arthur on the plane home from wherever I was and I didn't love it but you know what I was charmed by Russell Brand and the girl in it Greta Gerwig I thought these two are both very extremely likable and their throwaway lines
Starting point is 00:14:58 are really funny like it's a movie with a horrible plot and all the throwaway lines are funny so it's like it's charming on a plane, but if I was in a movie theater, I'd be like, when's he going to get caught between the moon and New York City?
Starting point is 00:15:12 Did you guys see Captain America? No, I haven't seen it yet. But people in the audience, did you think the cinematography was extra dark on that movie, or is it just me? Because I saw a 2D version of it, and some guy wrote me
Starting point is 00:15:25 a long email hipping me to the fact that apparently theaters across the country and the world are being lame about when a movie is 2D and not 3D they're not switching over the proper equipment
Starting point is 00:15:41 and so that movies are being projected darker when they're supposed to be 2D, but they could have been in the 3D theater. It was such a long, complicated thing. I was like, by the end of it, I was like, I don't care anymore. So apologies to anyone
Starting point is 00:15:58 who, if you're in a theater and the movie seems too dark, I guess you could complain or say something to somebody and not assume it was just photographed that way. By the way, I love that people clap just when you said 2D. Which I agree. I fucking hate 2D.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Oh, yeah. I've been on a crusade. I really seek out 3D movies in 2D. And I'm kind of frustrated because I don't think Glee in 3D is going to have any 2D showing. Because it's for an exclusive two weeks only. That's so weird when a movie comes out.
Starting point is 00:16:28 Two weeks only. Oh, like they're not going to fucking keep it around if it's doing good business. It's more like just trying to trick people into going immediately and getting a better number on the opening weekend. You should have tried that with Super. You should have said, one night only. Oh, held over to Saturday.
Starting point is 00:16:45 We did that by accident. We're going to Sunday. That sort of thing. This is crazy how late Jeff is. Yeah. Like, I thought he'd just be a few minutes late. No, it's bad. I'm telling you, I left really early, and I barely made it.
Starting point is 00:16:59 Is there a chance he won't make it at all? No, that's unlikely. Okay. It's 7.52 Pacific Standard. And we're going to wrap this up at about 8.15. So what do you think? When do you think he's going to get here? Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:17:14 I think it'll be really close to 8. Five minutes? Yeah. I have a question about Arthur. Is Arthur drunk in the movie? Yeah, yeah. Because in the trailer, he's the movie? Yeah, yeah. Because in the trailer he's not drunk.
Starting point is 00:17:27 Well, yeah, they don't, for some reason they don't push that in the trailer. I don't know why. I'm always amazed by how
Starting point is 00:17:34 like drunkenness and being high are like so, so treated so differently like in the media and stuff. Like if you watch
Starting point is 00:17:42 any episode of Ellen in the afternoon, she's not going to make episode of ellen in the afternoon she's not gonna make any references to anybody being high unless it's like about some crazy hippie that did some weird thing but she goes to the let's get drunk well she makes jokes about drinking a shot or doing scotch like all the time and her biggest fan base is probably women who would sign up for Mothers Against Drug Driving but somehow it's still funny to reference drinking but not at all funny or okay to mention marijuana what are your thoughts I think would be ridiculous what does that have to do with movies I get mad at Ellen so much well and then she thinks then it's time to dance
Starting point is 00:18:28 and you're like I forgive her she's dancing through the audience I wish I could do that like my show every night don't have to prepare any jokes just say hey it's time to dance I just dance through the crowd
Starting point is 00:18:39 and then I interview Justin Timberlake does Ellen seem like an awful human being to you? is that an evil thing to you? Is that the thing to say? No, I mean, seriously. Very evenly divided audience. I know you've got a big crossover
Starting point is 00:18:53 with the Ellen crowd, Doug Benson. But she's good at projecting that she's nice on the TV show. And I'd say off camera, she is not as nice as you as she is on camera. But she's also not the TV show. And I'd say off camera, she is not as nice as you, as she is on camera. But she's also not terrible, I hope.
Starting point is 00:19:09 That's what my guess is. I mean, I know a lot of writers that she's fired. My assistant, I'm going to get somebody in trouble, but my assistant used to work for Ellen DeGeneres. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:18 And people are not contractually, they're not allowed to talk about other people. Of course, I try to get her to talk, tell me shit about Ellen DeGeneres all the time. And she won't do it. But she makes a face. And I don't think she does it on purpose. She smiles real big?
Starting point is 00:19:34 Yeah. Every time you bring up her name, just lights up. I have to tell you, I wrote some, I tried to write some jokes for her for the Emmys one year. I don't think she did a single joke of mine, but it was still fun to hang out. And that whole process was interesting to me. But one time I was at her house and Portia de Rossi walked in from somewhere. And so they sort of said hi or whatever. But they sort of made out for a second in front of me.
Starting point is 00:20:05 And it probably was one of the top five things that's ever happened to me. I'll tell you the most embarrassing story ever. When I first moved to Los Angeles I lived with Jamie Kennedy and I went to I did.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Is that the embarrassing story? That's the beginning of an embarrassing story that has been more embarrassing. He was great on Entourage this week, buddy. I lived in Jamie Kennedy's guest house, and I went to the Scream 2 premiere and spent a whole night coming on to Portia de Rossi.
Starting point is 00:20:41 For real. Absolutely for real. I completely thought I was in there, and then was very surprised when things didn't work out. The whole night you were like, this uninterested bitch thing is really turning me on.
Starting point is 00:20:52 She was really... This is really appealing. She was really nice. She seemed to like me. She hung out with me. We were hanging out, but it just didn't... That part didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:21:01 She seems very sweet and her involvement in Arrested Development makes her untouchable in my mind, because she was great on it and seemed to get it. And she was good on that Better Off Ted, and she's good. She's a good actress.
Starting point is 00:21:13 All right. Jeff is still not here, for those of you noticing that Jeff Garland isn't doing all the talking. I invited him down here thinking he would dominate this show and we wouldn't get to have any of the conversations I wanted to have and now I've had all of those. I mean, is it so late that we should
Starting point is 00:21:34 get someone else to come in, you know, for the Leonard Maltin game? I don't know. That's what I'm wondering. At what point, because we've got to play the game, so we could just have the two of you play against each other or we could go forever. We could nominate we've got to play the game, so we could just have the two of you play against each other, or we could nominate an audience member to play on Jeff's behalf until he arrives. Yeah, let's do that.
Starting point is 00:21:53 That's a good idea. All right, let's see your name tags. Wait, wait, wait. Somebody who looks really stupid. Jeff isn't really stupid. Let's see your name. Where's the name tags, you guys? Everyone doesn't have name tags.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Jordan, of course. Oh, what am I talking about Jordan Come on You say you're terrible at it come play Alright it's Jordan everybody He's here every week with his baseball He's never He's never won
Starting point is 00:22:20 You've never won right Never won over five Five people have played for him And he's never won Now here's Never won. Over five. Five people have played for him, and he's never won. He has a good chance of winning. Now here's a chance for you to play and win for yourself. This is exciting. No, don't worry about that.
Starting point is 00:22:35 There's somebody with a skateboard up there. That's an awesome name tag on a skateboard. All right, so... Yeah, you're going to play for somebody. That would be awesome. I love Pez. Steve has already got his. He's playing for Matt with the Batman Pez dispenser.
Starting point is 00:22:50 I want the skateboard, guys. That's going too far. James wants the skateboard. If you can go grab it, James, that would be awesome. But I'm really sad I've lost every time. What do you mean every time? You've only been on twice before. Yeah, yeah. Third time's the charm.
Starting point is 00:23:05 Jordan's going to pick one. Is there any baseballs out there? Have a baseball kismet? Oh, he got a banana. That's nice. Another B word. That's fun. Jordan with the baseballs playing for Jude
Starting point is 00:23:19 with the banana. It's like a terrible film title from the 70s. And what's the name on your skateboard there, James? Meredith. Meredith. Meredith.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Yeah, person. Nice. Yeah. She wrote her name on the bottom of the skateboard. Does he get to keep it? No. No.
Starting point is 00:23:38 She's got no way of getting home. Yeah. And Steve got a Batman Pez dispenser that someone took a Sharpie and wrote Matt on. I assume
Starting point is 00:23:49 it was Matt who did it. Let me check my messages to see if Jeff's even trying to text. I guess he's obeying California law and not texting while driving. Even though he's probably stuck in. If I get stuck and it's not moving I feel like texting's
Starting point is 00:24:05 okay sure yeah yeah totally at that point because then you're just gonna get an offender bender at worst yeah laws don't apply when there's traffic yeah it's like every man for himself or monkey if you're on the golden Gate Bridge and the climax of Rise. Why didn't they call it Giant Erection of the Planet of the Apes? Alright. Here are the categories. Let's let Jordan start us off. Great.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Playing for Jeff Garlin, playing for Jude. Jordan, Jeff, Jude. Which category would you like? Jordan, Jeff, Jude. would you like which category would you like Jordan Jeff Jude would you like Vanilla Ice that's movies with either Vanilla or Ice in the title because movies starring
Starting point is 00:24:55 Vanilla Ice are just one at Norito Ott OTT suggested Bad Movies which are movies with bad in the title. And then it's Anna Kendrick's birthday today, but I just wanted to give her a shout out.
Starting point is 00:25:12 She doesn't have enough movies to qualify. She's been in four movies and all the Twilight films, so it'd be too easy. I think. I don't know. She said she shouldn't be a category. We talked about it. But Tom Lennon is also
Starting point is 00:25:27 celebrating a birthday. Another former guest on the show. So in honor of Anna's birthday and Tom's birthday, let's do movies that Tom Lennon is in. Which one would you like? I'm going to go with the crowd and go with the Tom Lennon
Starting point is 00:25:44 movies. Oh, nice. Even though I know like one. The crowd loves him. This movie's from 2009. Leonard gives it two and a half stars. I'm just looking around. Jeff Garland just walked in. I thought maybe Jeff walked in.
Starting point is 00:26:01 And he's like, there's no seat for me. That's exactly what he sounds like. Two and a half stars from Leonard, this 2009 motion picture from the category, what was the category? Tom Lennon movie. I was just testing you.
Starting point is 00:26:21 The two main characters are sharply drawn and well played. And TV star Lou Ferrigno plays himself. That's a pretty strong clue. It's from 2009, two and a half stars. And there are 12 names. How many names do you think you get in Jordan? And we'll go to James Gunn. 11. 11 names. How many names do you think you get in Jordan? Then we'll go to James Gunn.
Starting point is 00:26:46 11. 11 names. Smart opening bid. Why take any risks? James, what do you think? Well, I know I saw this movie, but I can't remember exactly what it is. So I'm going to say... You shouldn't give that away to your competitors.
Starting point is 00:27:05 I know, but he's going to underbid me. So, five names. Okay. That's good. Strong. Steve? I'll say two names. Nice.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Come back to Jordan, playing for Jude. Name it. Name that movie, Steve. You get two names? Yeah. Do you want the clues again? Yeah. Or just the names.
Starting point is 00:27:30 Lou Frigno plays himself. Two main characters are sharply drawn and well played. Two and a half stars. 2009. And your two names are Lou Frigno. And Sarah Burns. Is it I Love You Man? That's correct!
Starting point is 00:27:54 Steve Agee on the board. Jordan challenged him. We'll start with James and then go to Steve. And your category options are it's Sam Elliott's birthday today, so the film's Sam Elliott. Love that guy. Summer blockbusters, because you know
Starting point is 00:28:12 it's summer and there are blockbusters that happen in the summer. And at Kellyanne Rogers suggested Cowboys and Aliens. That's movies that have either cowboys or aliens. Jesus, that's like every movie. Yeah. That's most of the film.
Starting point is 00:28:28 I'm going to go ahead and do cowboys and aliens. Alright. This movie with cowboys or aliens is from 1992. Leonard Maltin gives it two stars. He says about this movie that it is
Starting point is 00:28:45 followed by a sequel and has some good performances alright I'll give you one more that's also every movie I'll give you one more a sense, a feeling of deja vu hangs over the proceedings
Starting point is 00:29:02 he says about this movie that has good performances and was followed by a sequel. And there's two stars, 1992, and there are nine names. There's some whispering in the audience. James got, wait, I thought we were going to, yeah, start with James? Yeah, yeah. Is that what I said? I'll do it with, I can do it in eight names. All right, this time we go to Jordan.
Starting point is 00:29:29 We switch the order around each time. I'll go with seven this time. I'll give it a little bit of a shot this time. Seven. You would have a chance if you could hear seven names. I'll say six. Steve, I think you said six. Steve Agee says six. James Gunn.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Okay, I want Steve to name it. With six names? Fucker. Steve's already on the board with a point? This could end right now. This could end right now. I'm not gonna... This could end right now.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Then we'll do ten minutes of talking about Jeff Garlin. And whether or not he'll make it. This is some Jack Bauer shit, y'all. Alright, six names. Pete Possilthwaite. The late Pete Possilthwaite. This is 92?
Starting point is 00:30:22 Yes, sir. There was a sequel after it, and Deja Vu hangs over it. Was Pete Puzzle Thwait in the sequel? That doesn't matter. Okay, go on. You can't ask that many questions. Yeah. Lance Henriksen, Danny Webb, Ralph Brown, Brian Glover, and Paul McGann.
Starting point is 00:30:41 From 1992. Has cowboys or aliens in it. Somebody just whispered species. Shut up. Why does whispering make it okay? Loud whispering. Species. Or maybe that's just how
Starting point is 00:30:59 that person sounds when they sneeze. Bless you then. What do you think you think Steve I have no idea name a movie that has cowboys or aliens in it from around 1992 well that would get two stars so that as a sequel I don't know I mean I would guess like tombstone or sequel thing is confused is a confusing clue I'll admit it right now I just couldn't find anything else everything else gives it away more of the same sequel you give up right yeah more of the same sequel has Weaver and other survivors of aliens on an isolated prison planet where you guessed it the alien regenerates itself and runs amok.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Oh, we got the word amok in there. Isn't he smart? A-M-O-K. Anyway, Alien 3 is the name of the movie, and who made you name it? That's me. James made you name it, so. We're tied. We're tied.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Very exciting. You each have a point. Jeff Garland's doing terrible. But then, you know, Jordan told us ahead of time that he's not good at it, so I think he's doing great. I'm very impressed. You get to start this time.
Starting point is 00:32:15 And then we'll go... What would be the reverse order? Go to James? Species. Species. People are still whispering species. Is that a category suggestion? I thought he said space balls when he first said it, which I had no idea. I would love to see Pete Possilweight's role in space balls.
Starting point is 00:32:38 He was Chewbacca. Oh, no, that was John Candy was the Chewbacca. Okay, so Jordan, you get a pick, right? Yeah, I get a pick. Lions, tigers, and bears. Movies that feature a lion, tiger, bear, or all of the above. At Big Moser, M-O-S-E-R, suggested One Fine Day, which is the films of Rafe or Joseph Fine.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Amazing. Amazing. And then we'll give you once again Vanilla Ice, movies with vanilla or ice. Which one would you like? I have no shot at this one at all. But One Fine Day is actually my favorite chick flick, so we're going to go with that one. That is not a bad chick flick. I love it.
Starting point is 00:33:31 It's not good either, but... Okay. Three and a half stars from Leonard for this 1998 spirited, entertaining speculation. He calls it a speculation. What a weird word to use. But accurate once you know. And he says that
Starting point is 00:33:52 it's witty and sensual. Alright, so it's 1998. It's spirited, entertaining speculation that is witty and sensual. He gives it three and a half stars. Either Rafe or Joseph Fine is in this movie and you have 11 names. Yep, 11.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Jordan's going with the strong, passionate, 11 names. And we go to James eight names name that fuck me fuck okay by the way you could have included the movies of Larry finds he doesn't spell it the same way and I how many features did they do? Was it always just like the three stooges in outer space? The three stooges go to Camp David.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Okay, I think you're going to get it. Okay. Yeah. I'm confident in you with your eight names. Do you want the clues again? Yeah. Three and a half stars from Leonard, 1998. Spirited, entertaining speculation. I'm confident in you with your eight names. Do you want the clues again? Yeah. Three and a half stars from Leonard.
Starting point is 00:35:07 1998. Spirited. Entertaining. Speculation. That is also witty and sensual. And your eight out of 11 names are Antony Schur. Martin Klunes. Tom Wilkinson.
Starting point is 00:35:19 Ben Affleck. Imilda Staunton. Colin Firth. Simon Cowell. Judi Dench the audience Simon Cowell no no no hello hello see a hello WC a. Cal-O. Simon Cowell is not the fifth-billed person in a sensual witty...
Starting point is 00:35:51 It would be a speculation. It would be a speculation. Is it Shakespeare in Love? That's correct! Judy Dench, of course, Oscar-nominated for that. That's a big clue. Ben Affleck wasn't bad in that, I course, Oscar nominated for that. That's a big clue. Ben Affleck wasn't bad in that, I thought, under the circumstances.
Starting point is 00:36:09 What are the circumstances? That he sucks? Well, no, just that that... No, he doesn't. He's actually okay sometimes. Yeah, but just that that guy from the kinds of things he was doing was suddenly in this movie about Shakespeare, and he pulled it off. Right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, does that mean I win? That means you're the winner. Yeah, you. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, does that mean I win? That means you're the winner, yeah.
