Oh, you're good at it? Well, I mean, I've got it, you know.

Also joining us today is Kim Congdon, Alphabetical. Oh my gosh, what's up, you guys? Doug, I'm excited to be back. Honestly, I didn't think it would happen.

I've been so bad at this. Oh, well, you know, that's the thing. I like doing a movie trivia show I like having people on that are really good at movie trivia But most of my friends Are not great at it And I can't insist that they be So I just have to have them

On the show anyway I was on your show about science And I don't know shit about science That's true, neither did we though But you didn't have to admit that You wore a lab coat I don't know shit about science. That's true. Neither did we, though. But you didn't have to admit that. You wore a lamp. Every time I do this show, I'm like,

oh my gosh, I think I don't know enough about movies to do this show with Doug. And then every time you ask me again, I'm like, maybe I smoke just enough weed to keep doing it. Yeah. The weed might put you right in the zone mentally. And you'll be good. I do have some bad news, though. We have one of our better players here today,

and I would like to say greetings to Chris Cubis. Hey. We'll see how better I am. I'm like three sangrias in, so we'll figure this out. Oh, that's perfect. I'm drinking. I'm jealous. Yeah, I we'll figure this out. Oh, that's perfect. Are you not drinking? I'm jealous. Yeah, I'm in my own house.

What else am I going to do? Why aren't you drinking, Kim? Well, I'm drinking a pineapple juice. I mean, that sounds fun. Because I just smoked a blunt, and I felt like a juice sounded better than a beer. Yeah. Soothing. Yeah.

Good call. Yeah. You know, I'm trying to get the brain moving. How is Austin, Texas, Chris? Hot. It's good, though. Yeah. It's good, man.

You know, we're still in Texasas so we still have a fair amount of like you can't tell me what to do i ain't wearing no mask idiots running around but like for the most part everybody's pretty respectful and i have to like sneeringly look at maybe 10 percent of people in stores so i I'm doing all right. Yeah. I always wear sunglasses and a mask. So like, I can't even shoot faces of people. I just have to really give it to them with my body.

Yeah. I try to not be too aggressive while wearing a mask as I am still in Texas. I'm trying not to get shot, but otherwise I did yell at someone. I full on yell, but I was walking in the Home Depot and they have a big, there's a lady out front checking to make sure you're wearing your mask. And she's just on her phone while like four people

walked in without wearing masks. And I was just like, well, what are we doing? What are we even doing here at this point? And then she yelled at them and it became, it was a whole thing. You're out there doing your part chris i appreciate it i'm trying yeah um so we're gonna play a game uh coming up here in a little bit but uh before we get to that uh i've been finding that everybody has different ideas and opinions and stuff that's um you know good to watch you know movies in particular that are you know everybody seems to have a different idea what

they want to see during this time while all these different things are going on do any of you have any particular movies to recommend that are you know either an all-time favorite of yours or more something that's in the moment everybody's thinking about it i've been or we've lost connection with everybody i've watched a movie a night for about the past 28. And I listed them, but I finally ran into one that I wasn't quite so into, which is Capote. I've been, you know, I was really excited

to watch Philip Seymour Hoffman, but I just, you know, movies about writers are, you know, I like that one bar fly, but I think I'm having a hard time with this movie about this writer. Writing is hard. Writing is a hard thing to depict. Cause like, you know, writer's block is the most boring thing to look at. Yeah. Every writer has it. And it's like, how many scenes do you need of a guy like you know putting paper in the typewriter or refreshing his page tony depp did a good one with a writer right

a long time ago he was a writer in the woods is that fear and loathing in las vegas oh yeah when he was hunter thompson yeah yeah think so Yeah, that's a fun movie It's not really about writing It's more about schizophrenia Which is like in the same vein As being a writer Yeah, and a lot of drugs And alcohol and stuff too

I watched Cool Hand Luke recently Which I thought was Terrific Again Really? Okay that's the classic where the guy yeah where they have the egg eating contest so that's where i check out is it the eggs or the like overeating what makes you that's interesting you should say that because i bet you like some items competitive eating doesn't bother me as much as it does

with eggs. Like if there was competitive Sour Patch eating I could probably watch that all day. You know like Red Vines or something like that. But eggs oh my god it just makes me sick just like I can't watch that scene in Rocky

where he drinks all the eggs. And here's the weirdest coincidence that i that this even came up but i watched a movie called do you guys know a movie called tampopo i know it i haven't seen it it is um basically it's like a ramen uh instead of a spaghetti western it's a ramen western it's just like a ramen, instead of a spaghetti western, it's a ramen western. It's just like a lot of incidents and situations that all revolve around dishes of ramen. But there's a scene where a couple cracks open an egg and then narrows it down to just the yolk, and then they pass it back and forth between their mouths in a very sexual way.

And the movie is very charming and fun, but that scene made me, made me unhappy. How is it a whole charming and fun movie? And where did they just slip that scene in that weird scene? Well, cause they just this one couple, it's a bunch of vignettes

that all have to do in some way with ramen and the main storyline is a lady trying to open up a ramen store and there's another competing ramen store across the street and them trying to steal recipes from each other and that kind of stuff but it goes off in these weird directions and one of them is it just keeps revisiting this couple who, uh, do lots of sexual things revolving around, uh, uh, you know, traditional, uh, ramen items. Okay. But that was recommended by Emma Arnold,

who told me that she had just watched it recently with her kids. Well, she's like, uh, trying to feed them like a baby bird. You just kind of pass the egg back and forth to your kids. Yeah, they do some weird stuff. I don't even need to go into it. But the movie really is fun, and it's just got these weird sex scenes that just sort of come out of nowhere. But you ever heard of it, Jay?

You're a big-time director. You ever hear of Tampopo? You know, I've never heard of it. I will say this. I tend not to like movies about food. And it's not about eggs, because I think I do like movies with eggs in them. But it's more like, you know, like I won't necessarily,

I mean, I've made a restaurant movie, but I won't necessarily watch all those restaurant movies. Actually, you know, now that I think about it, I like Chef quite a bit. That was about food. Maybe I do like movies about food, Doug. Yeah, I never heard of Tampopo. No.

Well, you might want to check that out. And also another food one that I rewatched recently that I liked very much is Big Night with Tony Shalhoub and Stanley Tucci. I like that movie, too. I love that movie. I like that movie, too. Yeah, it's got two scenes in it where they just cook and there's no dialogue. It's just amazing.

Are there eggs in that movie? Oh, I'm sure there are because one of the last scenes is they're cooking breakfast so they just whip up some eggs. Does that gross you out? No, because they just make them in a pan in a nice fluffy omelet or something

and then they quietly eat it. You're not grossed out by the birth of an animal out of an egg, are you? Oh, man. I just saw Josh Wolfe talking about how he's eaten that delicacy where it's the little baby chicken is like still, the embryo is still in the egg and you just eat it. Oh, yeah.

It's like pie or something, right? Yeah, and he said he's done it a few times. I was like, oh, my God. That just sounds so awful to me. That's horrible. Yeah, but he did it because he's on a TV show, and they're like, people love to see this sort of shit.

What I watched, what I did was make a list. When this whole thing started, I made a list of my big holes, like movies I should have seen but haven't seen. Oh, yeah, that's a great project. I started in the 70s, and I picked five per decade, and I'm kind of working my way through that list.

My favorites, I would say, are I watched The Out-of-Towners, and it's brilliantly funny, and it's perfect, and Jack Lemmon is amazing, and I just love that movie. It was hilarious. they are i watched the out-of-towners and it's brilliantly funny and it's perfect and uh jack lemon is amazing and i just love that movie it was hilarious uh let me ask you real quick before you move on from that yeah um that's one of those movies that like you know how jay just made the sweeping doesn't like uh food movies per se. I have trouble sometimes with movies where unfortunate things happen to the characters and

they just keep happening and they can't turn it around. I mean, sometimes I enjoy it, but a lot of times I get really turned off by that just because it just feels like having a bad dream. Like the Griffin Dunn movie that Scorsese made?

Yeah, After Hours. That bums me out too. Does Out of Towners have that scene where he plugs in the cord and it catches everything on fire? Am I thinking of the right movie? No. Also, there's a different Out of

Towners. There's a remake of Out of Towners with Steve Martin and Colby Hawn, maybe? Yeah. No, I watched the 70s one. There is not that scene, but there is a scene where he tries to steal money from a lost child in the park, and then everyone thinks he's a child molester. I think what's great about this movie is stuff doesn't happen to him as much

as he makes terrible decisions you know what I mean so I'm not like I don't feel like all this horrible things are being like thrust upon this guy it's like oh if you just stopped being an asshole none of this stuff would happen to you but yeah I

I really enjoyed it okay and then I would say my other favorite was Muriel's Wedding. Ooh. I hadn't seen it before. And, man, like, I've always liked Toni Collette, but, like, and I'm sure I'm saying the right name. Sometimes I mix up Toni Collette and there's another T name.

What's her name? She's in, oh, she's in, oh, she's in, not Parasite, but the other movie that the guy did, Snowpiercer. Tilda Swinton. Tilda Swinton, yes. I mix up my Ts on that one sometimes. But no, Tony Collette is just like so charming and lovable in that movie i just yeah so that was my other two favorites well they're both both tony collette and tilda

swinton are like just incredible character actresses who disappear into their roles and they never they rarely play their own actual uh accent that they have in real life and uh so yeah so i'll give you that one. That's a pretty reasonable swap right there. I think both of them would be complimented. What about you, Kim? Oh, go ahead. I also saw California's Sweet,

which was a Neil Simon written movie, and it's fantastic. Incredible cast. I mean, Jane Fonda is incredible. That's the one where I think both Maggie Smith and Michael Caine got nominated for Oscars, and Maggie won, I think, for Supporting Actress. It's a hell of a movie.

I mean, Maggie Smith, for fuck's sake. I mean, she's just amazing. And it's basically like just a funny play that they filmed, so the actors are all great people saying good jokes. Yeah. Walter Matthaus in that one, too? That's right.

Oh, my God. I love him. Okay, so I'm in. I watched Friar and Bill Cosby. That's right. What a crazy-ass movie. I watched Friar and Bill Cosby. That's right. What a crazy-ass movie. I'll watch that again for sure. Yeah. Wow.

All right, Kim? Yeah. What are you thinking? Have you been watching anything that helps? So I got really into scary movies during quarantine. I tried to watch a few scary movies that I, cause I never watched them on Netflix. I feel like you can't find any good scary movies.

And I feel like they're all pretty much the same, but I watched, this one might be, this is old and everybody's already seen this probably a few years ago, but I just watched, I just watched the witch. And it was really good and really scary. And i've told so many people that if they like horror films and they can't find anything to watch that one because that one really got me well that's interesting that you should say that because you know the guy who made that movie got you know continued to have more acclaim with his next film the what is it the lighthouse and man

it's it's really different from the witch but you could still tell that's from the same crazy-ass mind but it's less of a less of a horror movie and more of just a psychological you know just watching people melt down in in seclusion so maybe you shouldn't watch that right now oh and there was another one too that i watched it was super weird it was uh it was called like 52 platforms or something weird like that oh yeah the platform the platform yes that one speaking of food that's the uh that's the movie where all the leftovers just get shoved down funneled down in the to a different platform to like the poor people you're right you're in like prison in the higher ups get the first food and everyone on the

below platforms just get the leftovers and people start like spitting in it and pissing in it. Yeah. That is the, that is the grossest one. That's, uh, I feel like I was clutched or something. That's a whole movie. Yeah. Yeah. It's like a dystopian future thing. It's kind of like you, you know, you saw snow piercer where all the different rooms of the train were represented class. This is why they flip it into making it a building

and a big part of it is the food. I'm grossed out just thinking about it. And while I think it is kind of an important thing to think about how the poor are treated, I could still do that well after reading a description of that movie. Right. Yeah, it was crazy. I don't need to torture myself with that movie.

Right. It was one of those movies you watch and you're like, you know, I should put something happy on after that. That's when you watch The Witch again. Right. Exactly. I mean, The Witch is just so encompassing. I didn't like it, but I didn't like it because of what a great job he did

of just making this horrible, you know, like, it just felt very lived in. Like, none of the actors seemed like movie actors or even stage actors. It just seemed like they were these fucking people dealing with this witch situation. Yeah. Which, did you guys know that? That was the working title for the movie. I decided to go with something scarier, but it was originally called The Witchuation. Well, that about wraps up the

movie roundup. You guys gave us a lot of great recommendations of things to look out for. Out of Towners gave us a lot of great recommendations of things to, to look out for out of towners from Chris and Muriel's wedding. I really do want to see Muriel's wedding again, because like, you know, Tony Collette looks very different from more different than that movie from many of her other performances, but that was the first time I've ever seen her. So, you know, I haven't gone back and seen, uh you know just how crazy different she is in that movie yeah i had never seen it and

like to see that as her debut it's like oh i get why she got to be in everything because she's just like tremendously good in that movie yeah i was and was doing, like, the, like, putting on weight thing for a role for a part before she was even a star. See, that's what's interesting is, like, going back and watching it now, I was like, oh, she was just, like, I don't want to say heavy, but she's, like, I mean, that's part of the character is that she's, like, a bigger woman. And I just thought, like, oh, she kind of started as that

and has since gotten thinner i didn't realize that she was like putting on weight specifically for that role it's really interesting yeah i think she was already being you know quite the uh character actress but also you know don't quote me anywhere on that because maybe she was maybe she did just you know decide to lose a lot of weight after that but But she's definitely been different in many different ways and is always great. What about, has anybody seen Predestination? No.

It stars Ethan Hawke, and it's a time travel thing, as I understand it. I haven't read too much about it because i like to go into these things as as cold as possible but a lot of people have recommended that to me so that's still on my list older film or is it is it the one yeah it's it's it's older you know it's probably between the time when people kind of cared about ethan haw, and now when they probably don't care much at all, as much, I don't know. He's made so many movies, and lately he's been knocking out some really good movies

and really good performances, but they tend to be like, you know, a lot of independent films. But this one just comes up a lot amongst movie lovers because it's a time travel thing, but that's another genre that i like go into very suspiciously because i really don't need to hear a lot of talk about time travel i know that it doesn't exist and the movie will the movie will make it happen so let's just go ahead and get to

it you know that's what i like about back to the future they sort of explain how time travel works but that's not what the story's about right you know the story is about the you know a guy kissing his own mother you want like basically to be like let's get in the time machine and jump in it and go yeah like a hot tub time machine you know i want it to be practical i want it to be a twofer i want to you know, I want it to be practical. I want it to be a twofer. I want to, you know, massage my back with a pulsating jet and go back in time. This conversation was exactly how hot tub time machine was written. Yeah, I do not disagree with that. All right. It's time for our commercial break. We go to a quick commercial break.

And when we get back, we're going to play a new game. That's a sensation sweeping the nation, according to me. We'll be right back. We're back. And we are going to play – that was a short break, right, Jake? Oh, yeah. I expected it to be a little bit longer.

Yeah, I didn't mean to catch you off guard with how amazingly short our commercial breaks are. Well, you know, it just speaks to the quality of that commercial that you just, I was totally wrapped and I was like, wow, has it passed that quickly? I'm into it. Right, because it was probably even more than one and you didn't even notice it. Yeah,

they all blended together in three different ones, but they were all so compelling. Oh, there were definitely three? Maybe two. i can start to say let me jump in my uh let's go back in my time machine and listen to him again it's so hard to know for sure um have you been uh what's your uh you know uh weed situation during this this situation well i you know like i said i watch a movie at night so and i start them at about one or two in the morning once everyone has stopped watching the kardashians uh or whatever

it is uh or the house fixing shows uh uh then i go out into the you're living with monsters i know i know and then i go outside alone as usual and uh smoke on the street and then i walk walk in and watch my movie a new movie every night and you never have you fallen asleep during any of them yeah i fell asleep during the second attempt at Capote last night. You really have it in for Capote. A little bit. And my friend Clifton Collins Jr. is in the movie. Yeah.

I texted him when I first sat down to watch the first 30 of it. And I'm like, you're in the movie! And he goes, yeah! And then I watched the second third and I fell asleep. And now I'm not sure how to, you know, go. I guess I got to watch the third third and say, hey, I saw it. He's great in it, but it's a boring movie. He is good in it.

He is good in it. I just, yeah. Yeah, you're right. It's not my favorite. I love Philip Seymour Hoffman, you know, and I love how good he is at playing that part. But I don't know. I almost feel like, yeah, I just don't.

And I really love the follow-up movie from the director of that film. I'm a huge fan of Moneyball. I love Moneyball. That's a great film. So maybe give Moneyball another, maybe give that another run in the middle of the night while you're high. I'll do it. Okay.

All right, Kim, how are you doing over there? What's your weed situation? My marijuana situation? I've been smoking it. I'm with my parents right now at my parents' i've been here for three months things are going great i have this new like 15 year old attitude again um and they smoke weed so we all just smoke weed together every day wow that is amazing yeah it's pretty nice

i love that it's it's like i guess the only problem with the weed in my house is like we're fighting over like whose weed is whose and who stole the lighter it's that kind of thing so it's not too bad that sounds like heaven to me uh pets any pets my sister has a rottweiler named sensei who's in nightmare because he's seven months old but he's the size of a full-grown dog and uh he's just ruining everything i own and he's bigger than me so i'm scared of him well don't let him uh eat your phone right or your computer truly all i need chris cubis uh shout out to my weed guy who will remain nameless for obvious reasons but uh when this whole thing started uh when the quarantine started he just started giving free weed to everyone he knew who was like service industry or artist or whatever. So every Wednesday you would just get a delivery package of like,

here's some edibles and some weed and like maybe a vape cartridge or whatever. We'll get through this together. So I got pretty stocked up early and then I've just been riding that wave for a while. It's been pretty great, honestly. Yeah, that's for a while. It's been pretty great, honestly. Yeah, that's a terrific deal. And I feel like I know who you're talking about. You probably. You almost certainly do.

I mean, anybody I know, all of my best weed connections at Austin came through you. Fair enough. All right, cool. All right, so it sounds like we're all in pretty good shape to sit around and play some silly trivia game. And there's this new game that I introduced a few episodes ago that people say, play that again. And so I go, okay.

Because I enjoy it. It's called Popularity Contest. And you don't need to be popular to win this game. You just have to know who is. Turns out, when you look at the cast list for a film on IMDB, Internet Movie Database, you can click on just, you know, let me see the whole cast. And then they put the cast in order.

Sometimes, you know, they have different ways to list everybody. Usually it's just by actual billing in the movie. But then you can click on list by popularity. And then it will take the movie cast, the entire cast, no matter how big anybody's part is, and then put everybody in order, from number one down to the last person, in order of their popularity on IMDb.

That's so fun. How weird is that? It's so mean. Like, nobody should have to know that they have access to find out what level of popular they were in a movie there or a TV show that they're in. But there you go, and there

it is, and I've found it. I'm obsessed with it, and here's how it works. We play three rounds. Jay's going to go first in the first round, Kim in the second, Chris in the third. You each get to go first once. I will name a film that I looked up on IMDb,

and then each of you will get one guess, and, of course, you'll get to hear the people who guess ahead of you. That's why we switched the order up so everybody gets a chance to, you know, guess in every particular spot. The person who gets the person, if you name someone that's the top-billed person, you get three points. The second most popular, two.

Third most popular, one point. We'll play three rounds, and I have a tiebreaker prepared. Does that make any sense to anyone? I think so. Yes. Yeah. Chris is a yes as well. Okay, here we go.

Starting with you, Jay. And, you know, like I said, you could all three pick the same name if you agree. You know, but if you want to try to play strategically that's up to you uh who are one two and three or better yet i should just say try to name the number one person in a motion picture called super troopers that's just hurtful well I know Jay and I know

his ego I know he doesn't really feel like he necessarily should be number one but there's a part of him that probably knows he deserves to be let me ask you this as I've been thinking about that movie as you mentioned the

game and I was like he would never be so cruel but there you go um let me ask you this is it popular after everyone's seen the movie right like the people go like it's the film i feel like it's i i feel like it is current imdb searches determine a person's popularity on there i think it's not it's not how famous they were going into the movie no and it's not just an overall you know and it changes probably from day to day because as things change different people get you know searched on imdb for you know probably various reasons okay and you want me to go one two three or just one no i just want you to name who you think is number one of the cast uh super troopers kevin heffernan

as of right now today okay you're going with kevin great guy he's been a guest on the show fortunately doesn't listen kim what do you think oh my god i don't know this is so hard this is fucked up um but you could just say jay and you know he'll he'll at least get that i'm gonna say jay you know why because i believe that thanks thanks and i really mean it jay thank you uh chris what do you think all right so just to make it interesting isn't isn't jim gaffigan in that movie yeah yes i'm gonna say jim gaffigan dang it i want to change mine okay i. Everybody could have a chance to change, but I appreciate it.

I have another one. I'm curious where he falls because he's like an actor-actor, but the guy just won the Emmy. I mean, Kim, if you're going to change it, there's also a guy named Brian Cox in the movie. That's who I'm thinking of is my back of my other guy. Brian Cox.

Damn it, I'll stick with Jay. I think that's a good choice. I mean, why would I bring this game up? I'm not bringing this up to make you feel bad, Jay. Oh, Doug, you'd have to do a lot harder things than this to make me feel bad.

Okay, good. Good, good, good. In fact, I love it. I mean, it's weird. I think now that you know that you can do that on IMDb, you might do a little search. Because it really is, I think, based on, in a very in-the-moment sort of way.

So coming in at number six in the movie that you directed and starred in is Jay Shandisok. You're the sixth most popular person in Super Troopers. Wow. I'd like to quote Doug and say, I didn't do this

to make you feel bad. And you tell me that and then you say you might want to look yourself up on some of these movies, right? Well, because I'm just saying it's fun to do. I've done it, and the results are not. They don't make me feel good, but I still find it interesting. And the fact that you're six, to me,

because this is people looking you up on imdb probably before they watched a movie not right after watching it you'd be number one or two right immediately after watching it you know what i mean right but their memory fades away with time yeah they're just episode comes out it's gonna go back up yeah oh that'll be interesting to see if everybody search jay uh search all of my guests on my on imdb and let's try to move them up on all these popularity lists so i win yeah uh coming but this is you guys will see now i was also trying to show an example of how random and weird it is because number one i mean number four worth no point but still i'm just skipping around because we've got a lot of time got it and that's why i told you to go take take a look at it

because then you can find out who not who was one above you but not mentioned by me um fourth was jim gaffigan so that was a great a great pull pull there to even remember that he was there. Three, was the actress in the movie Marissa Coughlin? Yes. What do you think she's been, has she done something recently you think that would make people go, hey,

let's go find her? No, she hasn't. She's in Minneapolis and she had some children, but she's been writing. And she seems to be making moves to get back into performing again. But lately, no, she doesn't have something that would bump her. She wasn't Super Troopers 2, though, right? Yeah, so was I, though, Doug.

Yeah, you was I, though, Doug. Yeah. You're absolutely right. Number two, I think you'll be tickled by this. Linda Carter. Oh, wow. Nice. Yeah, Wonder Woman. Nice.

People are always looking up Wonder Woman every day right now, I'm sure. Yeah. All the variations of Wonder Woman. And then you also hit the nail on the head when you said that, of course, Brian Cox just won the Emmy for succession. So he's the number one most popular person in super troopers. So we don't even get any of the top three slots.

You didn't manage to, but I think you will in other rounds, because I think now you know how arbitrary and weird it is and how cruel, to be honest. Yeah, I would say that I'm not going to look. I'm not going to check it out on IMDb because I'm convinced someday my Google searching is going to be made public and I really don't want to be seen looking at how popular I am. Okay. Are you guys ready for round two? Yeah.

I don't mind if you're not. First, Kim gets to go first. Okay. And I texted you before the show to make this game even more fair because, of course, Jay knew who everybody was in Super Troopers. Right. I asked you, Kim, to name a movie that you enjoy very much, and you said The Truman Show

yes so who do you think is in the top three or you know who do you think finishes number one of the cast of that that's a movie I feel like I need to revisit The Truman Show um okay obviously Jim Carrey

is in the top three. Yeah, he plays Cho, right? And fuck, what is her name? His crazy wife with the dimples, the blonde lady who plays Meryl. She was in an Eddie Burns movie, wasn't she? She's fucking... She's like a nose art. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I can tell you the name, I guess.

Laura Linney. There you go. And I don't know anybody else's name in that movie, I don't think. So, yeah. So it sounds like you have to pick one of them or change your guess when you hear what everybody says. Oh, I just pick one? Okay, well, definitely in the top three is Jim Carrey. Okay, you're going with Jim. Sorry to throw two out there.

I got confused. No, that's okay. You're showing us your work. Right. I've seen four episodes of Ozark, so I'm here. Chris, what do you think? Well, if we're basing it on who's been

Google searched more recently, I feel like it's IMDB searched. IMDB searched more recently. Yeah, but you're going to be searched more recently if you're in the zeitgeist kind of doing stuff so i'm leaning towards laura linney for ozark but also giamatti's in that movie right and like billions is running around uh let's go let's go

paul giamatti all right jay what do you think well the role that Paul Giamatti played I was pretty sure John Cusack played but so I was about to say John Cusack I feel like he was in that control room somewhere but might have been his friend the one in

what's that movie Entourage in the TV show Entourage Jeremy was Jeremy Piven's that movie, Entourage, in the TV show Entourage. Jeremy, was Jeremy Piven in that movie? So now you're thinking a movie you thought John Cusack might have been in would have Jeremy Piven in it? Was that how widespread John Cusack's love? I'm thinking a gross point blank, maybe. I'm thinking of Gross Point Blank maybe There's a lot of movies where

if John Cusack is involved in some way, Piven's got a part It's pretty remarkable But Cusack was not in Truman Show Oh no Well, then that leaves me with Laura Linney because honestly

I really only saw it once. And I enjoyed it. But I only remember Jim Carrey. Yeah. That's what happens. I mean, that's why I want to revisit it, because I also remember, you know, like the world was, they were all disappointed. It wasn't funnier, but that wasn't the point of the movie. You know, it wasn't supposed to be like a knee slapping comedy it wasn't supposed to be like jim carrey's other movies but it was still had jim carrey in it so it was it was a tough adjustment

for people and they gave awards to the supporting actors uh coming in number five ed harris was nominated for best supporting actor i believe for it uh he was fifth, and he's the main guy in the control room. And fourth is Paul Giamatti, probably because of the Showtime series he's got now. I'm not sure why number three is number three, but I'm very happy for her. Holland Taylor is third in the most popular for Truman Show. She's a great actress.

She's been around for a while, and I enjoy her very much. But let's get down to doling out some points. Jim Carrey is listed second. So that gives Kim two points for that. And for Laura Linney, in the number one slot, Jay gets three points. Laura Linney. Yeah, that Ozark is pretty huge,

I'm thinking. It is. And people are like, let's see if she yells at any other white guys in other movies. Because she gives it to Jason Bateman pretty good sometimes on that show. Oh, really? Yeah, he gets

their family into quite a pickle. She's not particularly happy about it a lot of the time. What are you going to do? Alright, so let's do one more round that Chris gets to start off. Coincidentally, it has no points, so this is an important round for you, Chris.

The film is the one I asked you about on the phone today via text. A favorite of yours, Big Trouble in Little China. And I feel like it has to be kurt russell unless like unless james hong died recently or like the dude who played egg chen got me too or something it just has to be kurt russell so kurt russell final answer chris's final answer is Kurt Russell for Big Trouble, Little China. What do you think over there, Jay? Well, I appreciate the information that James Hong was in the movie. I was going to use that.

I bet you were. I bet you were. But I'm going to use it. James Hong. Oh, come on. I voted you number one. Yeah, but I'm going to use it. James Hong. Oh, come on. I voted you number one. Yeah, but you were way off on that. Okay.

And you could say any name that's already been said. You don't have to come up with your own. Oh, you don't? Just which one you think is number one. That's the important thing. Well, I'm going to go. Chris was very confident when he said Kurt Russell. He really was.

Yeah, I'm going to go on that. He was quite confident. This is another interesting one. I enjoy this game. I hope others do because it's weird. Coming in at number four for Big Trouble Little China, the aforementioned James Hong who is alive and well but

fourth most popular person in that film but number three is a real head scratcher, a curveball if you will but I guess it makes sense it's the director of the film himself who appears uncredited it makes sense. It's the director of the film himself, John Carpenter, who appears uncredited as a worker

in Chinatown. So, I feel like that's the most fleeting of glimpses that you get from John Carpenter in that movie. And then, in second place, the actress who co-starred opposite Kurt Russell in, you know,

that part was Kim Cattrall from Sex and the City fame. And number one, of course you were right, Chris Cubis. Finally, justice prevails. Of course you were right, Chris Cubis. Finally, justice prevails. Jack Barton himself, Kurt Russell, is number one for Big Trouble in China, which means that Kim Cardin wins this game. Wow. See how things can turn around when the host of a game show wants everyone to have a chance?

Quarantine's not that bad. Great job. I'm very happy about those results. And what's the most quotable line in big trouble little china to you chris uh you've got uh probably the exchange where he says uh uh he'll join lem lee in the hell of being cut to pieces hell of being what chinese have a lot of hells well what the hell is gracie law doing here and then kim cattrall walks in looking all hot that's memorable to me because i had the wildest crush on kim cattrall

as a child because porkies and then this that's all yeah she was a very attractive lady who they made uh you know get uh to nude scenes from time to time and work worked a lot and then uh yeah then she capped it off with uh all those years of sex in the city but uh yeah i remember her from my childhood uh as well and um god that that movie it's so funny because he just it's just like it's such a thing unto itself like i knew that when i asked you to quote something that whatever you said wouldn't sound like you know it would make any sense yeah yeah it's just like it's really it's it's its own special world it's really weird and uh um were you there when i interrupted it i think i did an interruption of it i was not there for that oh shit i'm sorry you weren't oh someone else was a big fan of it, so that's why we did it.

But I wish I'd have known you were a fan too, and that you were in whatever city we were when we did that. Sure. And now's the part where, since you won, Kim, I tell you what your prize

is, which is that Kim Cogden can come back on this show, Douglas movies, any time that she wants. Oh my God. Thank God. Yeah. And Chris Cubis and Jerry Sanders-Sacar, it's been very nice to know you guys. Wow. So this is it, Doug, huh? This is it.

I have to pare the numbers down somehow. I don't have enough, I don't pay for enough phone power to have too many friends. I can't wait to see all of you again under different circumstances. Does anybody have anything

specifically you'd like to promote? Let's start with Chris. You can check out my podcast Canceled. It's been a little bit on hiatus, but it's coming back this week. You should keep an eye out for that, but there's a couple

hundred episodes. We watch TV shows that only lasted one season, so you can work your way through that if you're looking for something to listen to, but that's about it. Oh, you know what I'd like to see you guys do if you haven't done it already, is there was only one season of a Netflix show called

Girl Boss. We have not done it, but it's on the list for sure. I like that show. Yeah, that's what I've heard. I haven't watched it yet, but I hear it's kind the list for sure i like that show yeah that's what i've heard i haven't watched yet but i hear it's like kind of like yeah you know the world just wasn't ready for a female protagonist kim cogden what what's uh what's going on with you do you have any like stand-up comedy sets coming up um i'm doing a couple spots i'll be um i'm doing a spot in florida which is crazy i don't even know if it's actually happening anymore because corona is uh coming back again but i'm doing side splitters

Awesome. Thank you for being here, and thank you for being a winner. Thank you for letting me win. It's truly an honor.

Jay's just hanging out, writing and watching a movie really high in the middle of the night every night. Anything else to promote? Well, you know, I wrote a novel called The Wild and the Tamed and I'm

getting close to making it happen and getting it out there. I've been working on that. Will you come back on the show when it comes out or whatever? For sure. The Wild and the Tamed.

In what world does it take place? It's like a suburban sex thriller kind of thing. All right. Yeah. It sounds like a title that really, really nails it. Yeah, I'm really happy with it. Because that's suburbia in a nutshell.

It's like, oh, those people over there, they're pretty tamed. Oh, look at those wild people. Uh-huh. You got it. I don't even have to let you read it. But, yeah, that's it. Please let me read it. Thank you once again to Chris Kubris, Jason DeSegar, and Kim Congdon.

And we'll be back. We're going to cut back to one episode a week soon. But I've got a the second podcast is launching soon that will also be weekly, so look forward to that happening. And Getting Doug with High, we're not sure when we're coming back. We're hoping to do one Tuesday, but, you know, it's all up to COVID and science and public opinion, I guess, everything that's going to happen at this point.

Ready, Matt, with the end music? I close every show with a different line from a – the closing line from a different movie. As always, good night, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England.
