Doug hates candy wrappers screaming baby sticky seeds with 50 as a pop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see because Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug and I Love Movies. This is Doug Love Movies recording on Monday, December 29th, 2025, and coming out on Thursday, January 1, 2026. means from this point forward, each new weekly episode will come out on Thursday for a month, some live, some Zoom, like today, where we have a very special theme episode because all three of my funny guests are from the podcast slash sketch group business casual, which is wild because I used to be an improv troupe called semi-formal. No, I wasn't. They are Jeremy Elder,

Corey Peter Lane and Hunter Sailing. Hello. Hey. Thanks for having us, Doug. And thank you for clarifying that that was a joke. We had lawyers on standby. It actually freaked me out, yeah. Let's meet them individually, alphabetically, by first name. He is a member of business casual.

I'm going to say that for all three of you. It's Corey Peter Lane. Hey, Corey. Hey, Doug. Thanks for having me. Do you like me called Corey Peter or is the Peter there because of, you know, union reasons or something? You know, it's there because I share a first and last name with a porn star. Oh, there's a porn star named Corey Lane.

You don't have to act, pretend to be surprised. I know that you're familiar with the word. I don't think I know who that is, but, you know, might do some investigating later. Yeah. Tell the IMDB story, Corey. Yeah, when I was a kid, I was on the show Trading Spouses and somebody made an IMDB page for me for being on a reality TV show.

And somehow it got consolidated with this porn star's discography. Filmography. Filmography, sorry. No, she wrote some songs too. Yeah. You can just listen to the audio, too. She, so there's a picture of me as like an eight-year-old boy associated with all of her films.

And I think it's still on IMDB. So I created a new IMDB using my middle name. And professionally, I've gone by Corey Peter Lane ever since. But if you go on IMDB, look up Corey Lane. There's a picture of a chubby little red-headed boy and associated with such films as good girls get gagged. And, you know. Yeah, we don't, you know, we could look it up later if we want, anybody who's interested. I, of course, appeared recently on your show Business Casual, and you made a delightful

culinary treat that I have craved ever since. Oh, well, we're making more, and you'll be the first person that we send them to. Oh, my God. Yeah, yeah. We're going wide-scale production on these things. Oh, that's so exciting. So what's it going to be called? Well, we're just going to cut up business casuals chicken pop rocks.

They're a chicken-flavored pop-rock concoction. And I was so charmed by how much you loved them when you were on the show. And we all agree. It was a real thing that Corey made these things and brought them in. And it was born into my desire, my love of sparkling water, and I wanted sparkling food and Corey came up with chicken pop rocks as well as bacon pop rocks

and what was the other one? Shrimp fried rice. And folks, let me tell you, the chicken, yeah, the chicken pop rocks was maybe one of the most delicious things

I've ever had in my life. The bacon pop rocks were pretty great and the shrimp pop rocks were one of the worst things I have ever eaten in my time on this earth. A true abomination. That's not bad at all.

That's not bad at all. That's not bad. But, yeah, keep an eye out. Obviously, Doug, you'll be receiving your influencer care package of chicken pop rocks when they're ready. But if anybody else wants to try them, I think that we're still selling them on a link in our bio. Right on. He is also a member of business casual. It's Hunter Sailing.

Hey, Hunter. Hey, Doug. What's going on, man? Happy to be here. um since uh cori you know had all that other stuff to talk about i'll ask you to uh describe the business casual uh group the what the three of you do and uh and your podcast absolutely i mean this is our we've been together for 10 years now so i think that legally classifies us as brother husbands under the government on our driver's licenses uh we all met when we were going to good old theater school together at UCLA and we started doing improv together. Then we moved into sketch and writing stuff. We've been to the Edinburgh Fringe a few times and had some great times there. We're working on writing some stuff. And yeah, for this past year, we've been doing

the podcast altogether at All Things Comedy. It's been a hoot and a half. We love taking the stupidest ideas we've ever thought of and putting them on stage in the most theatricalized way possible with lights and sound and rehearsal. And too many sound cues for anyone humanly possible to ever remember. That's always something that we like to fight off more than we can chew on. Yeah. It makes it like theater if you have a million sound cues. Yeah, it actually makes it.

Yeah, it's like we, we're sort of like the artists of the Los Angeles alternative sketch community. We're sort of like the ones pushing. Yeah. Yeah, we're sort of on an auteur spectrum, I would, I would say. With such hits. We're on the autourism. Yeah.

All the greatest autortes are three people. Exactly. Just like Shakespeare. Paul Thomas Anderson, that's three different guys. Exactly. Quinton L. Taritino, I don't know his middle name. Okay, so thank you also for being here. And the third member of Business Casual that I'll refer to,

I'll just call it BC moving forward if it comes up again. It's Jeremy Elder. Hey, Jeremy. Hey, hey, Doug, how's it going? It's going good. Crazy question for Jeremy Elder. Are you actually the oldest of the three of you? If you believe it, I'm a clean middle brother.

The more you get to know me becomes quite obvious. But of the three of us, Jeremy is actually the youngest. Yeah, he's the baby. Oh, okay. I've never been the oldest of anything in my life, and it really tears me apart. He's the BC baby. Well, at least your third alphabetically by first name. So that's got to be a nice shift for you.

This is huge for me, Doug. Thanks for setting that up. All right. So thank you to all three of you for being here. And before we play some games today, we like to get to know you all a little bit better through your taste in cinema. So I'd like each one of you starting with Corey to recommend one movie to be old, new, hopefully something

people have access to one way or the other, either in theaters or on streaming. What do you think, Corey? I just did a rewatch last night of Raising Arizona, a lovely Cohn Brothers movie. I'm zooming in from Arizona right now on a little road trip between the holidays, and it was like it was probably my fifth or sixth rewatch.

it's such a good movie and like young Nicholas Cage is so handsome and charming and Holly Hunter's great and everyone just knocks it out of the park Yeah you got your you know John Goodman Yeah is in there and

And he's so young in it He's like he's a Strapping young lad in that movie Maybe if not his first movie close to it And then Good old Francis McDormon is hilarious Of course. She's great in that. And then, oh, yeah.

Rainy Doors. Brandy Doar. Yeah, she was so funny in that. And, like, it's also just like being in Arizona right now. It's like, yeah, it's such a funky, weird place. And the movie's like very beautifully shot. And, you know, earlier Coen Brothers, it's definitely a high recommend from Corey Peter Lane. Yeah.

And also really benefits from the cinematography of, uh, you know the dude that went on to do men in black and get shorty yeah yeah director uh i don't know why his name's slipping my mind but everything is these days um ped bundy that's it that's it all right so i you know i like to do um you know i don't look anything up or ask my guests to look up anything because it's fun to just sit around and chat about all these things purely uh from uh from memory but But Raising Arizona, I'm writing it down, is Corey's recommendation. What are you thinking, Hunter? The movie I'm recommending is probably a movie not many people have actually ever seen.

I got shown this by my girlfriend recently. It's a movie called Filthy McNasty. It's an indie horror, it's an indie horror sleaze comedy from 2001 by this director called Chris Siever, who I've been looking him up, and he's apparently on the East it's a pretty like indie like backhouse horror like little screening night icon and it's this movie about two nerdy chicks that make a deal with a demon to become the hottest girls in school and ruin everyone else's lives and then it is like a very so bad it's good movie where the act everyone on screen has never acted worse it's the worst acting you've ever seen

on screen but it's so good at the same time the script is every line is some like zinger joke and it gets so over the top that it becomes good it's so funny and it's all shot on like a VCR in clearly like a college that's not being used on the weekends and there is actually the demon has um the prosthetics on the demon are way too good for this movie like the demon character that comes in grants these girls a wish will come on screen and his prosthetic makeup is way too good for the rest of everything that's being shown. There's also the only way you can watch it online is on Tubey. We love Tooby. But that's a censored.

We love to be. That's a censored version. And you can only get the uncensored version if you buy the Freaky McNasty quadrilogy, because there's four of these movies on Blu-ray from Chris Seaver's website. I think there's only nine left. I bought one of them. I'm holding it right now.

Wow. Yeah, that's great. So I think this movie is a beautiful fever dream. And I think everyone should watch it. Yeah, I don't know how people look to track it down. Yeah, you can rent it from Hunter. Yeah, you can rent it for you can come over to my house and watch it. If you just Google Filthy McNasty, you should find it on Tooby.

It's really just like gross horror comedy. It really reminded me of Peter Jackson's Dead Alive. which is very like gross squelchy over the top very self like it's like winking at itself the whole time in a great way so everybody get filthy McNasty and let me know if you watch that movie

please yeah reach out and you know blame Hunter sailing directly blame me for when your girlfriend gets mad at you for watching this movie together also if anyone listening worked on this movie at all please reach out to me I would love to talk to you actually I just look this up. Everyone that worked on that movie is dead.

I said don't look things up. You said don't look stuff up, Jeremy. Oh, that's my bad. Sorry for looking at that real fact. What do you want to recommend, Jeremy? I'm going to go for a recent pick. I'm going to recommend Train Dreams with Joel Edgerton. Have you guys seen this one?

No, not yet, but it's on my list. I haven't seen it yet because, you know, it's one of those. obvious like it's you know it's on the tracks towards uh oscar nominations train tracks yeah so i have to see it but um have also just been i don't know it looks boring tell me why it's not boring here's the thing it's so boring Doug i love any movie i love any movie where you just kind of watch somebody's life and like two things happen and this fully fits the bill i did um like a 19th century triple feature i did the testament of anne lee hamnet and train dreams in like a miserable day you had that is the worst triple feature i've ever heard of even though i've only

seen two of them um because i love a miserable day i think hamnet is very well made and well done but not for me and i think that uh the other one you mentioned the testament of anne lee is just insufferable. I couldn't take, I sat through the whole thing, but I was very unhappy the whole time. No, that one was definitely the low point of it. The sort of 19th century Quaker musical did not really do it for me personally.

I was in at the musical part, but then it turns out the Quakers do not care about melodies. It's more like, you're a musical guy, right? It's a lot of chanting. Yeah. Like nobody really needs. needed to be able to be a good be a good singer you know and they all just had to move weird they just kind of moved to be accurate yeah I guess it's historically accurate that they hadn't invented

good singing yet yeah but then you see like the weirdest looking old man in the world with like a gorgeous singing voice and you're like well this doesn't match it's it's just a very very off movie that's definitely one if you're going to go for the 19th century triple feature you can bring it down to two for sure but that's why jesse buckley for hamlet and Amanda Seyford for the Anne Lee, I think they both really deserve the accolades they're getting for their acting because they both, you know, throw themselves into these things in a huge way. But Train Dreams is more, it's not as traumatic as these other two, right?

It's a slow harrowing burn. There's no like violent births that the, this is that sort of violent birth, Geneseecois that the other two have. Yeah, okay. But something, you know, things happened. But train dreams, it's nice to hear that

just a regular person liked it because, you know, the critics, you know, have been going crazy for it. And it really is, it does feel like it's going to get a bunch of nominations

when those come out. But Jeremy, I am with you. Like, I like that it's like, I like a good, boring movie. When a good, when a movie knows it's going to be boring and that, right, but when a movie knows it's going to be boring and is like, well, fuck you, we're making this

the best thing possible. Did anybody see anemone with Daniel fucking Day Lewis, the movie he made with his son? I did. And it's about, it's about as much fun to watch as it is to say. I don't know. Anemone is pretty fun as anemone. That movie is an enemy of me. of me. Anemone of me. Yeah, it didn't look great. It's rough. I just think that we really,

just going back to my pick, 90 minute movie. 90 minutes this movie. Like, length does not equal girth. Length does not equal. I will say, I will say, man,

I did just see Avatar, Fire, and Ash, and I think sometimes it's justified. Oh, did I hear a bone. You think it's justified in an avatar movie? Like, what could possibly happen? I think it's because these movies aren't just movies. They're technical exhibitions. Sure, but like, okay.

Like, so 45 minutes of that is, and I'm good. Like, like, I hear people are taking naps and not missing anything. I will say the plot was not as, the plot was not as crazy, like developmental on this one is the last one. But I had a good time. it didn't feel like that's good i'm happy for you and you know if you're good you know if you're going to if a movie's going to be too long for me to want to sit through it it might as well be an avatar movie because i'm the only way i'm going to see it probably is just on a tv while i'm doing other things um because because i'm just not that i you know the first avatar the 3d

was the best 3d i ever saw but i just didn't i never got i never felt that uh connected to the story and, you know, I have, me and James Cameron don't always get along. Oh, okay. I feel like he's abandoned making, you know, movies I found at the very, the minimum, interesting and kind of fun to watch. And now he's just like, it's been a decade of, of Avatar. And I'm just sort of like, yeah, but Terminator movies are really cool. It is wild. It's wild that it's the same guy.

It's really wild. Yeah. And it's like one for me, one for the. them like maybe we could get one you know exactly just making a fun action movie like he's so all of his action movies are quite inventive and interesting you know like it's just uh characters and dialogue have never been uh never been as strong right but uh to me though right now what yeah oh yeah i didn't want to interrupt the thing that all you can say right now i'm sorry I was just transitioning out of this conversation altogether, but if that's a good move, you know what, that's a good move.

We don't need, James Cameron's the last guy you want to piss off in this town. I know. I was going to defend, I was going to say I could talk about James Cameron for three hours, so we should talk about something else. If you piss him off, you're never going to get the opportunity to stand in front of a green screen screen with a much pink arm ball. No, I was about to do the opposite. I was about to glaze James Cameron for like five minutes, so it's good that we're moving on. well thank you for those those recommendations it's something for everybody there and we will you know pit those three against each other on my social media account and see what

the people think but for now we are going to take a break and come back and the games will begin after these messages we are back whoa yeah fast breaks in the game and our first game that we are going to play today is something that I call Adventure Time. Yay. Are you guys fans of Adventure Time, the television animated TV thing? Oh, yeah. I love Adventure Time.

Okay, great. This game has absolutely nothing to do with that. I figured. Are you familiar? Let's go through one by one. And each of you tell me what you know. Don't tell me, just tell me if you've seen it or not, each of you, the 1972 disaster classic, the Poseidon Adventure.

Oh, no. Have any of you seen it? I have not seen it. Unfortunately, no, I haven't yet. But you guys know what it's about? Yeah. It's about, and we were talking about cruise ships earlier, I think. um it's about a luxury cruise ship uh capsizing moments after midnight on uh new year's eve and oh i guess

i've heard of this movie yeah it's you know it's it's a classic for a reason like it's uh you know it's very cheesy but it's um you know uh it's a builds up a lot of dramatic tension as the you know surviving passengers trying to figure out what's the fuck to do uh upside, upside down boat in the middle of the ocean. But then they went on to make a terrible sequel in 1979 called Beyond the Poseidon Adventure. And then after that, they made a remake in 2006, simply called Poseidon.

I remember seeing that trailer. There was also a made-for-TV movie in 2005, but I don't fuck with TV movies. So here's how this game is. game works. We'll start with Corey. I will name an actor. And then I love that the three of you have just, it's just going to be guesswork for this because it sounds like all three of you have not seen all three of these movies. So when I say the actor's name to Corey, he has to guess if that person was in, because they all feature, quote unquote, all-star casts. So you have to say whether that person

was in Poseid Adventure which we'll just shorten to Adventure or beyond the Poseid Adventure which we'll shorten to Beyond or Poseidon which we can simply call Poseidon. Make sense?

Adventure beyond Poseidon. Yeah. Yes. And they're definitely these actors are in one of these movies. Mm-hmm. Okay. Corey, you're up first.

If you miss, Hunter gets a 50, 50, because he can guess from the remaining two. If Hunter misses, Jeremy gets, well, we call a give-me point, because he doesn't have to know shit. Which is good for him. Every time. Yeah, that works out in this case. Hey, we're all hanging out.

Every time someone gets one right, you get a point, and then the next person in the row there will be first on the next round. Here we go, Corey. the great Sally Field which one was here Adventure Beyond or Poseidon I say adventure You said it's so fast

Why so quick Because adventure is the I know of this movie My mom has always said that she Like this is one of her favorite movies But I've never seen it and sally field is like you know

very much of that era and she sounds I just I just have an inkling okay your inkling was wrong your inkling was the stinkling oh that's what I I always get my inklings and my stinklings

mixed up you know especially if you have a cold you can't smell a difference Hunter? Yeah. I'm going to say because... Is it Poseidon or Beyond? And just to be clear,

Poseidon is the remake in 2006 and Beyond is the 1979 sequel to the original movie. Yeah. Okay, great. And in that case, because I think all, as you said, all these movies,

their marketing included stars of their heyday. I'm going to say for that one, Sally Field, let's go with Beyond. That is the correct answer. That is how you do it. Well done. That's how it works.

I think Sally Field was in the worst Poseid movie. It's really bad too, which is funny because the first one was cheesy, and then the remake, the sequel was terrible. And then the remake was kind of pointless, basically. Is it different people on a different boat, just capsizing again? yeah but i think they really keep all the if not the exact same names the same tropes like they all just each character has a different you know some are passengers on the ship some are working on the ship you know and uh we'll get into it more as we go along i don't want to say too much about these movies to give you guys extra clues so now we start with jeremy and which one of the three do you think

had Richard Dreyfus in it. Ooh. Hmm. Okay. I'm going to go, I'm going to go, because I feel like you need like an older guy holding it down, and I would maybe put him in the Kier Poseidon as the sort of like old guard for this new movie. So I'm going to go with the 2007 Poseidon.

I don't know why you changed the year of it, but that does not count in your, you know, in judging your answer, you are correct. Let's go. Wow. Good instinct. Yeah, 2006. Richard Dreyfus was still a pretty big deal,

especially as part of a, you know, a big cast of famous people. and his name's not coming up in this game, so I'm going to just go ahead and blow out that the lead, the main character in Poseidon, was the great Kurt Russell. Oh. Yeah, so another reason why it sucks

that that movie's not great, because so many things he's in are great. All right, Corey. I'm here. It's back to you. The boys both have a point, and you have yet to get on the board. That sucks.

This one's crucial. This is a lady, and her name is Shirley Jones. Oh. Which one was Shirley Jones in? Shirley Jones was in Beyond. That is correct. Wow. Wow.

That is a really good guest. how did you arrive at that guess well here's the thing in my heart I needed I needed this and the answer found me because my heart is pure because God smiles upon me

that sounds like dialogue from an avatar movie my heart is pure because A-W is within me my heart is pure all right Hunter you're up next oh boy

let's do it. The actor, one of my all-time faves is a man named Slim Pickens. No way. No way. Okay, okay. So this to me, this either has to be

the beyond as a man playing like a bosun or like the ship's like engine man or this is a young man in 2006 that everyone, all of his

agents, his manager, they all thought Slim Pickens was going to be the next thing. And they didn't do anything after the Poseidon remake. And for that reason, it's because of what I kind of hope it's going to be. I would like Slim Pickens to be in the Poseidon remake, please. Please. Please.

That's where I would like him to be, please. Please put him in there. I'm sorry, he didn't make it onto the ship. something about not having his passport or something. Right. Jeremy, you've got a 50-50 here. I feel like a name like Slim Pickens has to be absolutely as old as possible. So I'm going to go with the OG Poseidon adventure.

That is also incorrect. No, no. Do you remember which one is still available to answer? Oh, G. Oh, I will. well so the answer this answer as well as the first one exists in my heart which is pure um beyond it is once again beyond uh the great slim pickets he was a character actor who was mostly in westerns and and you were right about you you were on the right track with him being old he was definitely

very old back when beyond the pesine adventure was made so it wasn't a bad reason for guessing how you did, but good old Slim Pickens. If you want to see a funny Slim Pickens performance, check out the Steven Spielberg movie 1941. He pretty much runs away

with that movie. He's super funny in it. In a movie that a lot of people think is very unfunny. I'll do it for Slim. I'll watch. Hunter, this is your chance to tie it up with Lori if you can get this.

Poseid Adventure, Beyond, or just Poseidon, Gene Hackman. Oh, I got to say the OG, because I believe they would have gotten him at this time. 1972, that's Hayday Hackman. We got to get him in there. I feel like it would just make the most sense. I don't think he would, because I don't think he would do this for the remake. We already have a legacy. We already have a legacy actor in there.

We don't need Gene Hackman. He would want to be the star of the show, and I don't think, so I don't think it would have done the remake. And beyond, I think, is to, I think he would have smelled that someone was up with that sequel, not being as good.

So I have to go with the original adventure. You have to go with the right answer. That is correct. Well, you got to go. It's because I had to go with the right answer. That's right. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, Gene Hackman, like, that's part of why, the first movie is a classic is because he gives such a great performance in it. He's a priest that's on the ship and he kind of is the one that takes charge helping some of the other passengers try to

basically climb to the bottom of the ship to try to get out to the air and he has a really dramatic speech where he's a priest but he's screaming at God because like you know why would God put him, you know, in these other innocent people in this horrible predicament. And it's really good, really

dramatic. And I love this story I'm about to tell where, you know, Ben Stiller worked with the great Gene Hackman in the Royal Tenenbaum, the Wes Anderson movie. And during a break of filming one day, Ben Stiller just,

you know, Gene Hackman was famously grumpy on movie sets, especially towards the end. But Ben Stiller, just decided to just go for it and just tell him like when he was a kid Poseid Adventure was his favorite movie made him want to be an actor

his performance is like one of his favorite performances of all time and Gene Haggrey goes eh it was a money gig and walks away that's awesome yeah Ben Stiller was very traumatized by that interaction

and it works for the movie though because he's like, you know, he's scared of his father in the movie too, you know. So it's kind of perfect. All right. Jeremy, this is so exciting. I can't believe this is happening. You right now have a chance to force a three-way tie in this game.

This is the last one. Wow. I'm not confident, but let's see. I do realize you're going to get it. After your description, I do realize I have seen this movie. I saw Poseid Adventure long ago. I don't think it's going to help me right now, though, but I did want to go on record.

Okay, the ringer here, fucking pool shark. Oh, he's been hustling us the whole time. Yeah, you better win. Once he said the priest, it's where they're hanging upside down and they fall in the ballroom. Anyway, that's not the way. Yeah, yeah.

No, the scene where the boat flips over. Family guy makes fun of this. The scene where the boat flips over, it's 1972. You watch it now, and it's like, it might as well have been made now. Like, it's pretty flawless in the effects of the you know the action um i i i haven't seen it in a minute though so i should

probably shut up uh jeremy which one of those three movies do you think furgy was in it's fucking thugs thug come on man you know fergy from black eyed peas of course she's Fergalicious and she was very Fergalicious in the movie Poseidon That is correct What a shocking surprise that you were able Oh, they had seen the original Yeah, great

I thought they got it down Yeah, I didn't know that there was Gimme Questions just like give me answers also Yeah, in the original The reason they got Fergie for the remake is because they've, you know, lacked totally lacked imagination because in the first movie

there's an actress who plays she's like a singer on the boat performing at the New Year's Eve show and when the boat flips over the drummer is crushed by his own equipment and that's also that's also her boyfriend

and so she has to be all sad about her boyfriend while also trying to survive but then so then when they went to do the new Poseidon they're just like oh let's just get somebody of her knows as a singer and so fergy played that that same role right but then also uh apple dap was in the first one and then will i am was in the sequel and she was feeling really left out so she talked to her people about getting into the remake they were yeah they were they were in those

movies as children or maybe they might not have even been born yet let's be honest no they're uh imprint with bear will i am an apple de app or vampires i'm very i am very excited about the uh results of that game because uh it is officially a three-way tie there was no winner which is how it should be with you guys you know there's you're all winners in in my book wow i don't know if that's better or worse i like it thank you a lot because we still have one more game to play that is going to determine a winner, and there will be a winner, a single one standing alone, who not only will be declared the winner today, so that's pretty exciting, but also that one individual will be

invited to return to the show at a date very soon to participate as a returning champion. All right. So there's a lot on the line here, especially if you ever want to be on this show again. welcome anytime but you know what I mean the winner comes back and the loser gets banned for life wouldn't that be funny that'd be a weird way to do it it would be fun for like every talk communicated from Doug loves movies uh so I know we're not supposed to check our phones but Corey just texted in our group chat I need this you guys need to lose yeah so he's really stacking this against us stop doing other things on your phone I know the temptation is there it's real but uh

But quit it. That'll be the end of it. Yeah, perfect. And we'll be back after these messages. We are back. And since we had a tie, since the business casual guys all got the same score, we are just going to reverse the order for our final and most important game today. So Jeremy will go first, followed by Hunter, and then Corey.

and the game is called the little search engine that could in this game i take a word i think of a word and i type it into the search engine on i mdb okay and then i write down the top 10 movies that have that word in the title so it's got a real real family feud vibe to it where they're three of you have to take turns guessing movies with that word in the title and if you're if the movie you guess is in the top 10 you get points and the most points 10 points is for the number one movie and the number 10 movies worth one point and then there's all those uh points available in between after three guesses each taking turns i will add up the scores and whoever has the most points will be our winner. This game literally rocks. I love it. It's pretty fun, and also because it's a search engine that any fool can jump on today and put their thumb on the scale, so to speak, in determining the order of these things,

it's really tricky, and therefore also makes it anybody's game. It doesn't matter if you've seen. beside adventure or not all right jeremy are you ready i'm ready all right and uh hunter and cori be thinking about it but don't say any movies with this

word in the title since this is officially the first episode of the new year 2026 the word happy new year guys yeah the word

is 26 no i'm kidding the word is new movies with the word new in the title there's many known ones i was shocked at how many i recognized and most of the ones that land in the top ten are pretty well known except for a couple obscure things that snuck in somehow jeremy what's your first guess a movie that has new in the title that you think is the most popular search on i mdb day. Okay.

So here's my big brain, big start. I was thinking of movies in New York, and I'm going to go Home Alone 2 lost in New York using a Christmas bias. Okay. That's not a bad logic you're working with there. Because not only was it out, obviously, like people were looking it up and talking about it because they do every Christmas. It's really picked up a lot of steam because, you know, Donald Trump and Pierce Morgan are both in it.

I forgot Pierce Morgan's in it, too. Wow. He plays the pigeon lady. And it is number one on the list. Wow. Oh. Son of a bitch. Wow.

That is a strong. Jeremy Elder. 10 points for Jeremy. Fuck off. if this were family feud you'd be able to decide if his family's going to play or pass but instead

or be executed we go over to Hunter um you gotta hope to get that number two or three movie if you can I'm always hoping for the number two my friend what are you thinking Hunter well recently these movies were re-released in theaters

and just so many of the people I know in my life with the fall and winter have been doing a giant rewatch of the Twilight movies and with the fall and winter time those movies always come into play and they were just re-released in theaters so for that I would like to for my pick

to be Twilight New Moon the second of the Twilight movies. That is very impressive the way you arrived at that answer and I wish I could say that it was worth some points God damn

But I feel like it just sort of feels like the Twilight movies. I think they're even going to start them up again with new people because I feel like, I don't know. I don't know if they've hung around in people's minds as much as you think they were for such a huge franchise. And unfortunately, that title did not make the top 10. Hunter's just been hanging around a lot of middle schoolers, so that's been his bias there.

No, no, no, no, no. I'm 50 feet away. I just hear them. Here's what they're talking about, but you're still in this, Hunter. It doesn't mean that you don't have a chance because any two of your answers could, you know, put you back up there ahead of Jeremy. If he doesn't keep swinging so hard. That's what I'm going to keep thinking. If I know Jeremy, he's gassed out completely.

This is strong strong start. Yeah. Yeah, that might be his whole load right there. Yeah. Just blown. Corey Lane I will go

with Star Wars New Hope Listen to you Now on Douglas movies We love exact titles So what other words would you add to that title? Come on Corey

Oh fuck me Star Wars A New Hope Star Wars Star That's better A Star Wars A New Hope

Yeah what else Was episode Episode Oh man This is where we're getting tripped up on the number Crazy dang That's why you know You gotta be careful

Answering a Star Wars movie on this show You gotta come up with all the He was raised with two moms Give him a break Yeah, episode five. Oh. So what's your full guess? Star Wars episode, well, I don't know, because I heard them scream.

Star Wars episode four, a new hope. That is correct. I can't believe we believe it for. Oh, my God. You got there. Yeah, the other contestants will help sometimes accidents. Wow. So that's worth six points for Corey.

All right. number six all right yeah so Jeremy's got 10 Corey's got six and Hunter it's always great to hear from you you know what I'm just happy to be here exactly all right Jeremy what's your second guess uh keeping it with the holiday theme give me the film New Year's Eve I don't know what's going on over there I don't know what kind of you know the cheating thing you've got worked out I don't know if you've got access to IMD but that was a terrific guess because New Year's Eve

is number two on the list. Fuck off! No way! No way. Guys, I've cheated. I've cheated by knowing the dates. That's sort of my name. I'm now

really understanding how IMDB is where, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. And also, Jeremy, you do need to take credit for remembering that shitty-ass movie. Because I don't, I think there's plenty of people out there don't even know that movie exists.

But also, there's so few New Year's Eve movies in general that when you call one New Year's Eve, I bet you a lot of people just land on it just because they're like, well, let's, you know, let's watch this. It's like a New Year's Eve movie. It's like Mother's Day was such a high grossing movie for that reason alone. Was it a high grossing movie? I think it actually did quite well, if I'm not mistaken. I remember hearing people be like, yeah, it was, you know.

Pretty crappy, but it's people just went with their mothers on Mother's Day. But it was weird because Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve, and, you know, and then Mother's Day, I think was the order. And the first two had like, you know, 12, 13 people, like a, like, you know, like an old disaster movie, like a big cast. And then by the time they got around to Mother, they thought that they only needed three or four big stars. And so I think that was also part of why, you know, at least in my mind, that movie didn't fair as well. It'll be nice in a few years. Well, the thing is, Doug, is all mothers are stars.

So that film is actually full of stars. Well done, Hunter. Every mother is a star. You know, that's a really crazy riff, Corey. There's not a lot of mothers in it. It doesn't have that many characters. strangely enough. But Hunter, what's your next guess? Let's go. This is my second or my

final pick? This is number two and you need to get seriously on the board here. Okay, okay, to be serious on the board. With everything, you need number three. Let's do, I'm thinking holidays, everyone's watching

classic movies together. Let's do Gremlins to the new batch. Bon. This was really, this is a heartbreaking one for me because Not only do I love Gravins 2, but also it just missed the top 10 as number 11. That's a bummer. That's worse.

That's even worse. All right. But now, you're in the exciting position, and this happens to people from time to time in this game, you're in the exciting position, Hunter, of being able to go name three legit movies with New in the title, but all of them didn't make the list. Like, that's a skill in and of itself. thank you Doug yeah you gotta

you gotta go for the nothing bonus yeah yeah you know all those answers might have been wrong but they are answers Corey now okay I was joking around with Hunter

when I said he still had a chance but you still could do this yeah I'm dead in the water I got a third I got a third guess I want to see if I can just get on the board at all but I love it I also love the person it's not getting any points like as a spoiler like it may you know it may haunt somebody else at some point but cori still gets his second guess right now um did you put a space after new when you typed

it in or was it just n e w and what came up can i ask that i'm just gonna guess i'm maybe you don't have to answer me i i i i could just guess my okay can you answer me yeah n ew no I don't type of space after the word. Okay, newsies. Fuck. Interesting. I had that as my next guest, Corey. I've spoiled your...

See, here's the thing about IMDB and their wacky-ass algorithm is that sometimes I've noticed that something like a newsies will creep in when you type new. But then in the case of this, I don't even think it made like the type, up 30 or 40 because I looked pretty deep into the list.

So, Corey, I'm going to call an audible here and say that, clarify to you, because you were really trying to get that clarification you needed, but it didn't work. It's just a movie with new in the title that it's not part of another word. Okay, okay. You know what I mean? Like newsroom or anything like that. it's just a it's its own word and it's also uh let me just go through the list really quick yeah none of them are even the word news it's just new n ew so take another guess um oh but i'm gonna get

i'm gonna get got on this one i'm not knowing the whole thing oh i want to say the new jack city but it that's the um that's the whole title is that the whole title of the film yeah it's a called New Jack City. I wasn't sure if that was the after the colon. Okay, New Jack City. Well, we go before the colon. Yeah, pre-colon. I don't know what else, what other words they would have

of that title. That's funny that you that your brain remembers it like that. Because it's been a while and New Jack City did not make the top ten. I'm sad to say. Rap.

But I'm happy to hear that title. And I like to think about what would go before it. It was like a long version. Like gangsters. Two electric blue-galu. Yeah. You know, like. Like gangsters colon, New Jack City.

New Jack City. Jeremy, do you want to just like really rub salt in the wound here and just get three more points on the board? I was trying to think of like what's the equivalent of calling my dad to tell I won the million dollars. But let's just go. Let's see. Let's shoot for the stars here.

I don't have any real hacks for this one. I'm going back to my New York method. And I'm going to go Gangs of New York. Now, see, this is what's fun about this game. It's because this horrible thing can be happening to Hunter. Corey's been having some issues. And Jeremy... Managed to name one, two, and four.

Damn. I really thought you were going to say, oh, man. Yeah, I was excited at first because I really thought you got all the top three, but Gags of New York landed at number four. All right. I'll take it. I'm feeling good right now. Yeah, for seven points.

So you have a total of 26 points. So you can, Hunter, you can still pull this off. It's her better to believe. I'm just curious now. I'm just curious about what's on the top 10. Get that three, Hunter. Come on. You're going to find out.

I will share that information. But Hunter, what's your third? I'm curious because of it. It's a half title technically because it was revealed after the movie's release. And it is curiosity to see if Marvel is still doing well. And it's a recent release from this year. But Thunderbolts, Asterix, the New Avengers. uh that's a fun guess and that's all i want from you at this point hunter is fun guesses

that's all you're going to get buddy no points as far as the i can see it's not in the top 10 i don't even i figured that wouldn't be it's close but uh but you're looking at the page these three zeros it's sweet uh get a couple more you got the olympic rings Corey just to just to have a solid second place you want to guess one more yeah I'd love to

um new I've been thinking this whole time of anything new um but is there a movie called just New York um there might be

sure and that's always fun I always encourage people to make those kind of guesses because you just never know. I'm going to guess the film, New York. How many times you've said it twice now, right? New York?

Yeah, you said New York, New York. He did kind of with lots of words in between. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, New York, New York. Yeah, that's a, I, well, that's with a comma. It's like an ellipse, like when you quote, when you try to misquote someone. But, yeah, New York, New York.

from 1977 number three of the list is New York. That was number three. Oh, man. Wow. See, so this game is hard, but it's like between the three of you, you got the top five titles. So I think... Yeah, I'm really glad I could help.

You did a great job. But, you know, Jeremy's the winner. Jeremy is a far way out with it. Good job, I did it. Jeremy is officially our winner and that means Jeremy that you get to do any plugs

or anything you want to say you get to do that now you can say whatever you want buddy the other two guys might bring up the sketch group so you could you know you could do plug something else

is there anything else going on? I'll take more time to plug we got a few more things going on if you're in the Los Angeles area can see us taping our our cowboys it's a show we brought to the edmund fring it's really fun we're doing it at the elysian on february 7th and we'll also be at the san francisco sketch fest doing our live podcast the business casual show uh that's up the 31st in san francisco nice sf sketchvest dot com for tickets to that i'm going to be there on a different weekend because it's a huge festival that lasts for like three

weeks. I mean, it's no Edinburgh, but it's still pretty girthy. If you're looking for girth, let me send you to San Francisco. It's totally worth. Okay. Now I'm going to tell you, before

Corey and Hunter do their plugs and I do my plugs and then we say goodbye, here are the results. Here's what you missed. You missed 10 through 10 through 6. Number 10, the emperor's new group.

Oh, my God. I'm about to feel like an idiot for two straight minutes. Well, a lot of them seem obvious, but then others are very much not, which is the case of these next two, because number nine was a Korean film from 2013 called New World. Yeah, that's going right over my head. I've seen that movie.

I've seen that movie. Yeah, Park Hoon June directed it and I don't know why people are looking it up, but they are. Number eight, Doughton Abbey A New Era.

Okay. Yeah, boo. Don't feel bad about that. That's no problem. No reason for any of you to know about that. But number seven was one that could have popped into one of your brains, especially a Marvel-oriented brain.

Captain America, Brave New World. Oh, right. Wow. Yeah, that's right. Mr. Angry President Harrison Ford. And number six from quite a few years ago, Sart Shia LeBouffe and Natalie Portman, a film called New York, I love you.

So you really did catch all the, You've got all the important ones. So I think this is a very successful outing for the whole BC crew. Hunter. Great success. What would you like to promote Hunter? All the same things Jeremy just plugged and follow business casual comedy. We put on our podcast every Monday, wherever you can listen to a podcast.

Yeah, and I loved all the clips that you guys put up from, you know, on social media from when I was on there. And it was, it's a really good time. How often do you have guests back on? We have yet. We, that the high pitch was like, we don't want to have you back. We have to go now.

No, we haven't had the opportunity to because it's. still such uh we've only been doing the podcast since um the spring of this last year and we found it's just such a good time and we've it's just been going even better than we thought it would and we have great trying to get all our funny friends on and we'll eventually get some repeats Doug will make some more delicious weird food for you yeah yeah we have to well we just have to come up with another food idea before we can get you on okay or just make more of those chicken pop rocks you know like just sounds good that um Corey any extra words you would like to add?

Thank you. What should we call them? That worked out good. I'll call them whatever name you have for them. And since this is the first episode of the new year, I've been ending every episode for the, I don't know how long now, by quoting a different last line from a different movie. And I feel like, you know, it's time to maybe go back to the past where at the end of every episode, I would name, you know, call somebody a shithead. And so we're going to go back to that format this year.
