Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby, sticky seeds with 50 acid pop-up hurdles in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies! Hey everybody! Welcome to I Love Movies. I have to open up my notes to say the rest of my opening statements. Here are some opening statements. Then the trial can proceed.
Starting point is 00:00:38 Here we go. Hey, everybody said that. ILM is in effect, y'all. I didn't write that down. I just said that. I didn't write it down that way. At UCB in L.A., pre-show to the great comedy Death Ray
Starting point is 00:00:55 every Tuesday night here at uprightscissorbrigadetheater.com. Follow me on Twitter, you guys. Seriously. If you're a fan of the podcast and you don't follow me on Twitter, I don't get it. You don't have to be friends with anyone else. You don't have to follow anyone else on Twitter. Just follow me because you're always like, when are you coming to wherever?
Starting point is 00:01:15 Well, you'll find out if you follow me on Twitter because I say, hey, I'm coming to wherever. It's a perfect system. And I write jokes on there too sometimes, so you might get a laugh out of it. Like this, I do eight words or less movie reviews. I finally got around to seeing Paranormal Activity, and my first eight words or less review of that is not enough activity for my taste.
Starting point is 00:01:41 And then my alternate eight-word or less review is Scariest nap I ever took. Because I slept with that fucker. My guests tonight. Let's do it. My guests tonight are the host of the awesome podcast Never Not Funny and his sidekick on Never Not Funny. Please welcome Jimmy Pardo and Matt Belknap, everybody.
Starting point is 00:02:07 A secret till this very moment. Look at the children's eyes light up as the kings of podcasting. Oh, I would have sworn you'd be sitting here. Oh, really? Yeah. No, no, I don't like to divide you guys. I like to keep you together. Center square.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Yeah, host and sidekick. Do you like that expression, sidekick, Matt? You know, I haven't heard that much, but that's okay. I can't argue it. Would you prefer minion? No. Okay. Second banana.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Henchman? No. What is that? What did you say? Second banana. Oh, second banana. I thought you said like an Indian name or something. Second banana. Second banana. Second banana. I thought you said like an Indian name or something. Second banana.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Second banana. Second banana. Makes no sense. Yeah. Dances with podcasts. Dances with podcasts. So, yeah, Never Not Funny. It's a pleasure to have you guys here.
Starting point is 00:02:57 It's my pleasure. I do your show all the time. Yes, you do. Not all the time. You have other guests. Just enough. You know, just enough people. You have just enough contacts to get by without me.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Sometimes you have to suffer and take a Jon Hamm or a Paul F. Tompkins instead of the great Doug Benson. Well, we can't. We've got to space it out. It's a lot about settling in this business. So you guys I'm excited to have on because you have a thing happening immediately. I love it. Of course, people will be listening to this podcast for years to come going,
Starting point is 00:03:33 well, that would have been great if I'd have heard about this at the time. But for everybody who's listening in a timely manner, tell them what's happening. This Friday. 2009. November. I expected more from that. Parkastathon. I also expect a host and the sidekick to sound more different from one another.
Starting point is 00:03:55 Like, it just sounded like you were both going, But we're doing a Toyota commercial, basically. Parkastathon 2009. Get in here. Corollas. Camrys. Price to sell. All right, Matt, explain what the Parkastathon on 2009. Get in here. Corollas, Camrys. Price to sell. All right, Matt,
Starting point is 00:04:06 explain what the Park Gas-a-thon is for the folks in the front row that give a shit that we're here. Park Gas-a-thon. I've never seen such apathy on a set of people.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Their arms are folded because it's an exceptionally chilly November night in California. I'm with you guys. I'm going to sit like that, too. It's comfortable. You barely can care we're here.
Starting point is 00:04:21 Yeah, that's true. Look at the apathy on their faces. I could barely see that. I'm disgusted by it. Broadcastathon 2009. Go on, explain it. You know what?
Starting point is 00:04:32 Next show, I'm going to cancel my ad in the LA Weekly that says, Apathy Face gets in for free. That may be what happened. It gets people in the seats, though, doesn't it? It does, because a lot of people are like, I have apathy face. And they don't bother to read further that it's free for everyone. Everyone gets in for free. Stick with that.
Starting point is 00:04:53 I've got exciting news, if I may drop it in here. Right in the middle of the big announcement. Yeah, right in the middle of your big announcement. Build tension. This is like a layer cake of announcements. Sure. Guys, go ahead and crank all those rappers. This is like a layer cake of announcements.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Sure. Guys, go ahead and crinkle those wrappers. People say to me, the number one complaint that people have about this podcast is you don't do it often enough. Well, my Christmas gift to, or holiday gift, I should say, juice. My Christmas gift is for the next, I'm going to do podcasts for the next four weeks consecutively. Whoa. Yes. That is too much podcast for the next four weeks consecutively. Whoa! Yes! That is too much. And the guests get better
Starting point is 00:05:28 every week. That is too much. Wait, that was sort of insulting to you guys. That's a kind of a diss. That wasn't right to say in front of you guys. I hate that our talk shows

He's like lilac from the old Batman series. He's like gay but totally ignores the memos. He's just like, he's going to marry a woman.

Starting point is 00:09:19 A lady played a guy? Well, they had to pretend she was a guy for the team Yeah, it's like Ladybugs In reverse See that butt swishing down the court? That's a line from the movie. That's one of the many fascinating characters on the team, right? There's a lot of interesting
Starting point is 00:09:32 types. Oh, everybody's unique. In the world of Gabe Kaplan, everyone's unique compared to him. He's dull. Matthew, let me ask you this. A lot of us know you as Sasquatch. What's new with A Special Thing? lot of us know you as Sasquatch. What's new with a special thing?
Starting point is 00:09:47 Does anyone here know me as Sasquatch? A special thing.com. What's going on with C.J.D.? A special thing.com. Tell us about it, quickly. It's a website for comedy lovers and comedians alike. Everyone gets together to talk about comedy and mostly complain about
Starting point is 00:10:01 why things aren't better. Everything should be better. Specialthing.com is great for me because the last thing I need is to think anything I'm doing is perfect. They like you there, Doc. I don't need that. They do like me a lot.
Starting point is 00:10:20 They'll come right in. They'll come in with their thing that maybe in their mind isn't that terrible, but in my mind it's like, well, that hurts my feelings. It's the home of the backhanded compliment. Oh, yes. Totally backhanded.
Starting point is 00:10:34 People thinking they're actually saying something insightful to you and they're actually just saying, you're not good. Even though you did a lot of the same material I've already heard during your live At Gotham appearance You are still my second favorite comedian Is that confirmed?
Starting point is 00:10:53 You might be number one though No question So yeah, SpecialThing.com I always like to mention on this show And I haven't yet because I knew You were going to be out here, but how many years has that been running now, you think? We started in 2001, so eight years.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Wow, eight years, and there's 28 members. It's building. So come by. Honestly, if you have the opportunity to give a backhanded compliment to a famous comedian, Patton Oswalt reads it. Paul Tompkins reads it. So be sure to write in about how short and gap-teeth they are.
Starting point is 00:11:32 And they used to post. Used to, yeah. Well, you get driven away, but for some reason I'm tenacious and I hang in there. And Louis C.K. is hung in there. He's around. He comes around to insult people so often, every fortnight. He could say, I hope you get AIDS and die, and people laugh. They love it.
Starting point is 00:11:48 People are like, oh, he told me to get AIDS. If I said that, I'd have to apologize to Canada. Yes. So what have you guys seen lately? What movies have you seen lately? I saw a motion picture just today called 2012. You saw it today? Did you like it picture just today called 2012. You saw it today? Did you like it, young man?
Starting point is 00:12:06 No. You're wrong. He said no, the guy in the audience. But did you go out specifically because you thought you should see a movie before being on I Love Movies? No, I always go. Every Tuesday I go to a motion picture. I go see a talkie. Every Tuesday afternoon?
Starting point is 00:12:22 That's right. So you're past the baby movie thing Yeah baby movie's over And now I go The nanny shows up I go to the gymnasium I do a couple of pushups And then I go to the I go see a motion picture
Starting point is 00:12:32 And then I go to work You work up a good sweat And then go sit next to somebody Sure And then I get the flu From the air conditioning In the movie theater Oh god
Starting point is 00:12:39 I think Did you see this 2012? I did not see that 2012 Every second of it sucks But overall you go What a great movie I love it But at the second of it sucks, but overall you go, what a great movie! I love it, but at the end of it I go, that was a lot of fun, but I can find fault with every second of the movie. Right, but they do manage to, like I saw in the previews, they do manage to make it, there must be some tension. Oh, there's no question.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Because things are really getting fucked up, and you're like, Amanda Peete is too cute to die in this whatever's happening. I don't want to give away the ending. She does not die. There's a dog too. Stay tuned. Does the dog make it? What is maybe the worst scene in movie history? And that's an exaggeration certainly. The dog made it in Independence
Starting point is 00:13:22 Day because when the fireball was going through the driving tunnel, if you just jump through a door, the fireball doesn't look both ways. Fireball's like, I'm over here! I'm a fireball!
Starting point is 00:13:40 Speaking of fireballs, we had a fan shoot through the audience. I wish they had looked both ways. Late-coming fireballs. Hi, girls. That's fun. Wait a minute, that's April. Doesn't matter who it is.
Starting point is 00:13:53 We got fire in our balls from them. There's nobody sitting. I like to have people sitting close by up here on stage for the moment where I pick two audience members to be represented by the guests in the Leonard Maltin game. And there's nobody sitting right here, so if that's something you'd like to do, come sit closer. They're six feet away. No, but I like to go like this, Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:14:17 They're right there. I like to have them close by. And usually there's people sitting there. See, these people want to play. Some people came to play. If there's too many, one will be executed. We're going to give you the GOP purity test and then decide who lives.
Starting point is 00:14:33 Let me tell you about when I saw Pirate Radio last week. We're jumping back to last week. That was last Tuesday. Now, did Amanda Peete live through Pirate Radio? Not if she watched it. Oh, brutal, right? Two hours and nine minutes or something? No, this was the shortened up version.
Starting point is 00:14:48 This was the U.S. release. But you know what I saw? You didn't fly to London to see this movie? I like to go overseas for a lot of my movies. You know that. Usually you're at the premiere of all those. Sure, I saw all the Bond movies at that theater where the premieres were. Here's the deal.
Starting point is 00:15:02 I'm watching Pirate Radio, and while I'm getting ready, there's about another four people in there because I go to the matinee. A guy is holding up a video camera, and he's videotaping the trailers, and I said to myself, if that guy videotapes the movie, I'm going to tell on him. And then sure enough, it starts, and he puts it up, and he's videotaping Pirate Radio. Wait a minute. You made fun of me for ratting some kids out for smoking in first grade.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Why are you suddenly the rat? Don't you ever see the trailer where they tell you it hurts us all if you videotape a movie? They mean people in show business, not us. I think if a movie... I think when a movie is about illegal broadcasting, I think illegal videotaping is
Starting point is 00:15:40 okay. I disagree. You're just getting in the spirit. If I had a gavel, it would go right now. I told on him. I walked out and told on this gentleman. He's going to get the wrath of Pardo. Then what happened? Did they go back in and rough him up? I said, wait a minute, though, so he doesn't know it's me.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Don't make it look like me. Make it look like I was Johnny Pee-Pee. Is there anybody else? Wait a minute. Let me sit back in my seat. People get up immediately when the movie starts all the time. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:03 It was awkward. I felt that was going to get stuck. I'm going to get out of here before I find out what is happening in this movie. You could have left any time during that film. He knew it was you.
Starting point is 00:16:11 No, he didn't. He did so. I know he did. He videotaped the back of your head for the rest of the movie. Sounds like he was being kind of obvious about it, though. That guy should be taken down.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Shouldn't he be in the back row? Why is he in front of me? People do it in... Have you had it happen in comedy clubs where people just hold up the phone or the camera, just tape your act,
Starting point is 00:16:27 and you see it. Like, as you're on stage, you see just a light that looks like a flash is about to happen, but it never does. It just keeps being a light, and eventually I have to go, hey, could you...
Starting point is 00:16:36 And then you die of suspense, right? No. When is this camera going to go? I make sure they stop before I continue with my hilarious planned comedy. Sure. Because they'll put it on YouTube, and then people watch it on YouTube. Why would you come see me live if you saw me on YouTube?
Starting point is 00:16:49 You'd be like, he's inaudible and blurry. You also don't want your racist jokes on there as well. Well, yeah, I flip out and just start screaming the N-word. String him up! I just start screaming. Years ago, you'd be strung up! Wait, I didn't mean that. Really? That's exactly what you said.
Starting point is 00:17:09 You know what would be fun for white people to do? Let's start saying Niedermeyer instead of the other N-word. Just switch it up, but we know what we mean. Love it. What if your name is Niedermeyer? Niedermeyer! Here in the inner city, could go to an intersection. Kids are walking by slowly, yell Niedermeyer? You're in the inner city. You could go to an intersection.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Kids are walking by slowly. Yell Niedermeyer at them. That would be awesome. They would still kill you just for yelling at them. It sounds like you're just yelling at nerds then because that's like a classic nerd name. What I love is that all of that happened and Doug goes, they'll still kill you.
Starting point is 00:17:43 That's all right. They'll still kill you. They're still going to do it. That was a bad idea. Speaking of bad ideas, they cut Jimmy Pardo out of the informant? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Well, they cut me out as I was driving to the set. It was like, yeah, they did a pre-cut. I was on my way. I can't believe this, Jimmy. Even when I read the script. I can't believe I'm hearing this.
Starting point is 00:18:04 I read the script. It was like, you know what? What were you supposed to do? I was supposed to be a guy in a suit. Oh, really? Interesting. They only had a few of those in there. I read the script, and I was like reading it going, boy, there's only one scene that
Starting point is 00:18:13 makes no sense in this movie. Guess which one? And then it's like, how do they not know this scene isn't needed? And then as I'm driving, ring, hey, we don't need you. So I was cut off. What do you do in the scene? What do you say in the scene? I actually, I put the wire on Matt Damon and in the scene? What do you say in the scene? I actually I put the wire on
Starting point is 00:18:25 Matt Damon And wired him up For the 97th time In the movie And they realized Hey we've already got scenes Where he's wired up Are you funny when you do it?
Starting point is 00:18:34 Well again I never did it Do you audition? Do you audition when you're funny? I audition for a different role I audition for the Matt Damon role So I And then I got
Starting point is 00:18:44 For reals? And then I got a two-line part, and they cut me loose. Trickle-down casting. Let me just ask you this. How much weight did you put on for the role you ended up not doing? That's the shit part. I put on 48 pounds. Because, Jimmy, I don't want people to come on here and talk shit about a popular filmmaker like Mr. Soderbergh.
Starting point is 00:19:03 But why did Matt Damon, why did anybody have a conversation, you should gain weight for this role? Like, you could be a fucking investment banker, go undercover, fuck with your own company, at any weight. Not that good. You can't be good looking Matt Damon. You can't be that handsome.
Starting point is 00:19:19 But he put on the stupid glasses. He put on the dumb mustache. He's tired of people loving him so much. I just fear that the seesaw from Invictus to Informant is going to give him a bad heart. Yeah. I fear for Matt Damon's life. It's the only reason I bring it up. And I'll say this for the last time.
Starting point is 00:19:38 He should change his name to Fat Damon. Whenever he's doing a picture where he gained weight for no reason. No reason. He wanted to look like the guy. Argument number two against Mr. Soderbergh. whenever he's doing a picture where he gained weight for no reason. No reason. He wanted to look like the guy. Argument number two against Mr. Soderbergh. He's on trial tonight. Well, number two is he cut me out, so that goes to number three.
Starting point is 00:19:53 Number three. Why cast a dozen comedians and have them all playing roles where they're not being funny has nothing to do with playing the role. Not even as a fucking subtext. You do not laugh once when Patton Oswalt is on screen. You do not laugh once when Paul F. Tompkins is on screen. Why bother to have them? Unless it's a drama. Because the movie's supposed to be funny.
Starting point is 00:20:20 No, is it? It's supposed to be. It's got an exclamation point at the end, like Clankhorn. It's supposed to be funny. Anyway, I'm never going to be in any of his movies, so when you see Ocean's 14 and you say, when am I going to learn?
Starting point is 00:20:38 It hasn't been good since 11. Remember when everyone said 13? Oh, they're back. They're back. Yeah, that was our whole thing. We apologized for 12. They had to nerve to say that. And it was worse than 12. It didn't have a guy winding his way through.
Starting point is 00:20:54 I love the electric ropes in the art museum and the guy getting through. I think they thought, well, if we just remake 11 again, that'll be apology enough. Because 12, the problem was it wasn't in Vegas. We apologize for leaving Vegas. Let's take it back to Vegas. Let's have Al Pacino play a completely uninteresting and uncappelling villain named something Bank. We'll put on some mustaches.
Starting point is 00:21:20 We'll have some silly voices. Bernie Mac will come in and go off script by a word or two And then die may he rest in peace Pour some out for Bernie Yeah he just poured a 40 of water Can we all agree Bernie Mac was one of the greatest Niedermeyers of our generation
Starting point is 00:21:41 Can we please all agree on that I would go so far as to call him a needleman is Niedermeyer's of our generation. Can we please all agree on that? I would go so far as to call him a needleman. That's how great he was. Taking it to the next N. I don't like that. Yeah, we... Two out of three vote no. Well, we got to get into playing some games here pretty soon.
Starting point is 00:22:03 We love to play games here. Ready. I haven't seen a play games here. I'm ready. I haven't seen a movie since 2007. I love the games. Really? Because I accidentally picked a fairly old selection of movies for this game. That's good for me. That's good for Matt.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Okay, that's good. Because I worried about Matt and his... Because you guys are a good 20, 30 years apart in age. That's correct. So I don't want to... Wait, you said in age. I was guesstimating 20, 30 apart in something else? 20, 30 years apart in...
Starting point is 00:22:34 In age, correct. Okay. We're eight years apart. Eight years. Eight years apart, but that's a big difference. One of you looks older for your age than they should. You look horrible. I guess that they should. You look horrible. I guess that's me.
Starting point is 00:22:46 You look horrible. I thought I had youthful good looks. What happened? No. You got a... All right. Completely lost interest in shitting on you. Save it up for Friday.
Starting point is 00:22:58 Save it up. All right. What's the game? What do we got? The game is called Build a Title. Love it. Build a Title? One of these people that scurried over and sat close
Starting point is 00:23:08 when I asked for people. Have you played this before? I may be some rules. You're going to be baffled by it. There are no rules. There are, but it's like Quidditch. It's too complicated. Alright. Could you please name a movie title There are, but it's like Quidditch. It's too complicated. All right.
Starting point is 00:23:29 Could you please name a movie title with three or more words in it? That's real. What? A real movie. All right. Gary the Wrath of God. Make up a movie title. What if he has a screenplay that he's working on?
Starting point is 00:23:42 We can work with that. Wait, what did he just say? We're going with Aguirre. He went art school on us. I mean, film school. He went Aguirre. Oh, Aguirre, Wrath of God. Wrath, Aguirre, you call it?
Starting point is 00:23:54 That's what I call it. Is that a part of Aguirre? Tomato, tomato. Wrath of God. All right, so that's his movie, Aguirre, Wrath of God. And so now the trick is, we're fucked on one end. So this is going to be over in no time. Unless we can use basketball players from the 80s.
Starting point is 00:24:10 Yeah. Mark Aguirre, Rathogod. Oh, there might be. Oh, Jesus gave us an idea. Yeah. I couldn't hear you. Okay, keep it down, fellas. That's the only basketball player you know.

Starting point is 00:34:03 the subject the subject is classic comedies In my opinion No, seriously, they're comedies That's not like a mislead Like it's going to be like Hey, hey, I gave you showgirls No Because that is a pretty funny movie
Starting point is 00:34:18 It is Now that I mention it But no, these are intentionally funny movies That I enjoyed Because of In tribute to Never Not Funny. And we'll start with Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Yes. And I will tell you the year the movie came out, which would be 1976. Got it. I'm using the Leonard Maltin app now. I noticed that. That is crazy. Yeah, so I don't have to have the big book anymore. And now we can't cheat
Starting point is 00:34:46 with seeing where the book is. And you can't cheat by figuring out what part of the album I'm in. Yeah. You needed that. Technology wins, everybody.
Starting point is 00:34:52 Okay, so this is from 1976. It's a comedy that I enjoy quite a bit. Leonard Maltin gave it three stars. Yeah, he wasn't as into it as I was. And you have one, two, three, four, six names to determine what this movie is. How many names do you think you can do it in?
Starting point is 00:35:14 Six. He says six names, Matt. Goes with a bold move at the top. Can I also say six? You have to go five. I am not confident with five. I feel good about five for you, actually. Okay, five. I would You have to go five. I'm not confident with five. I feel good about five for you, actually. Okay, five.
Starting point is 00:35:28 I would encourage Jimmy to go four. Then I'm going to do it. Jimmy's going four. Do you encourage Matt to go three? I suggest you do. I think you can. I think you can go as low as two and still win this thing. Keep in mind, I am eight years younger than Jimmy Carter.
Starting point is 00:35:40 It's from 1976. 1976, bicentennial, spare it. I was two. Flags and flutes. I'm nervous. Where are we at? Okay, three. It's from 1976. Yeah. 1976, Bicentennial, spare it. I was two. Flags and flutes. I'm nervous. Where are we at? Okay, three. You're going three.
Starting point is 00:35:49 He's going three names. What do you say, Jimmy? Do you say name that movie or do you go two names? Well, it sounds like you want me to go with the deuce.
Starting point is 00:35:54 I think you can get it in two. I think both of you can get it in two. Really? If you really apply yourself. If you apply yourself.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Give me the ear again. If you don't act all stupid like that girl Precious that let her father knock her up twice. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Spoiler alert.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Whoa, whoa. Whoa. Why are you so against the Niedermeyers today? I'm so proud of that one. Why are you anti-Niedermeyers? Stop saying Niedermeyer. You started it. I take it back.
Starting point is 00:36:22 What was Kevin Bacon's name in Animal House? Let's change it to him. Okay. What do you want to do? You want to say... No, you know, he played Chip, I think, was his name. He was a frat guy. Chip or Chase or something.
Starting point is 00:36:33 Okay. So, Doug. I'll go two. It was not Doug. Okay. I'll go two. Niedermeyer was Doug, I think. He was Douglas Niedermeyer.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Yeah. You say two. So, that's what I'm saying, is that I... Are black? I appreciate that with my heart. Name that song. Because I's what I'm saying is that I... Are black? I appreciate them in my heart. Name that one. Because I'm Douglas Niedermeyer. He says name it.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Name it. In two, Jimmy. Okay, go. Here we go. Name it in two. Love it. Alfred W. Lutter. That's a giveaway name.
Starting point is 00:36:58 But this second name is an extra triple giveaway name. From 1976, a comedy that I appreciate, Len Malden didn't like as much as I did, Jackie Earl Haley. Ah, damn it! It's not losing it. It's not breaking away. It's not Fox's.
Starting point is 00:37:16 I know a lot about Jackie Earl Haley, with the exception... Wait a second, were any of those a comedy? No, but I know what movies he's in. No, Losing It was supposed to be a comedy. Remember Tom Cruise? Oh, yeah, yeah, it was supposed to be. Shelley Long?
Starting point is 00:37:27 Yeah, Shelley Long, and he bangs around with her in a hat. Shelley Long, I don't think she's ever been in a drama. I think you know it's comedy when Shelley Long's involved. Except for Money Pit. 76 would take... Come on! You've got to be kidding me. People in the audience are going nuts.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Are they? They can't take it. I don't think that's true. I went nuts for a second, but I control myself. Maybe I should have said name it after three. How did the world become aware of Jackie Earl Haley? The great Jackie Earl Haley. Come on, don't give it to him.
Starting point is 00:37:57 I'm not. He's clearly not going to get it, no matter what I say. I'm not going to get it. Rorschach would come in here and murder you. I don't get that. He that face fuck you to death i don't care about that kind of humor it's a very violent world watchman uh who's watching them yeah exactly who who is watching them so matt you can't steal it because we don't have that element of the game. Bad news bears. Bad news bears. Right? That's correct. Bad news bears.
Starting point is 00:38:35 I used the old ancient Chinese secret of if you change the subject and it comes to you. Yeah, you know what it did. You were right. I got off your back and then you thought of it. Yeah, Jack. All right. So, Jimmy wins the point, but that was very unfair. No, I got it. That was very unfair.
Starting point is 00:38:44 That was very fair. You gave me a chance to answer, I got it. That was very unfair. That was very fair. You gave me a chance to answer, and I got it. You did. Bad news bears. Jackie Haley. I'm going to really help Matt on the next one. Jack Haley. I was going to say Jack A.
Starting point is 00:38:56 That's probably not close. Okay, that's got a real good guest. We've got to do this. By the way, I thought it was Little Children, so I feel okay for not going for that. Funny. From 1976, Little Children. The movie that came out two years ago. Yes, so funny.
Starting point is 00:39:08 He's younger than us, Doug. He's much younger than us. And it wasn't a comedy, except for the pool scene. And the swings were that bad. It was. A lot of fun. Not since Caddyshack with the candy bar in the pool has there been a funnier pool scene. I've got that little thing Going on in my eye
Starting point is 00:39:25 Yeah Alright 1984 is the year A little butterfly Jimmy got the point So Matt goes first 84 84 is the year
Starting point is 00:39:32 84 Classic comedy We're still on comedies Yes I give it three I mean he gives it three stars He almost tricked me Into giving it three stars
Starting point is 00:39:39 You're so persuasive Leonard Baldwin It was the funniest thing You said God damn it That's the funniest You've said. God damn it. The funniest thing you've ever said. Three stars from Len.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Four from me. Perfect comedy. You loved it. Yeah. And it's got... From 84. Nine names. Nine names. Nine names.

No pre-gu Alright. I'll tell you individually if you end up having to be the one to name it. Let's say that. Where's Papa? No pre-guesses.
Starting point is 00:40:08 I apologize. And also, that was a lot earlier than 1984. I know. I apologize. Ruth Gordon was in the ground ten years before 84. Because she's a mole. She was graded beneath the Planet of the Apes
Starting point is 00:40:25 As a mole woman Okay, so How many names? Matt, you got nine names Let's do this 84 Lucky number seven He's going seven names, Jimmy

Do it and play. I don't want to just sit here and watch you steal my glory. I think you'd be in a little bit of trouble with three names, to be honest with you. I think he's got a good chance.
Starting point is 00:41:02 I think four names is really hard. Oh, no, really? Yeah. You son of a got a good chance. I think four names is really hard. Oh no, really? Yeah. You son of a bitch. Name it. Yeah, okay, here we go. The last name, first name from the bottom

Yeah, it's Spinal Tap. It could be Spinal Tap. I don't know how you do it. They should do a new version of Jeopardy where you just go,
Starting point is 00:41:34 it couldn't be Phosphorus. You know why? Because you said four would be hard. I have to make that face like, yeah, it could be. I couldn't let you just think about it for ten minutes, giving up on the answer immediately. I like that idea of low self-confidence jeopardy. Okay, so let's give out some prizes.
Starting point is 00:41:55 The winner, Aurora, wins all the prizes. Aurora wins... I'm very good at this. ...a medical marijuana tour t-shirt. Don't know how I got a hold of that. Why doesn't Jimmy get one of those? She wins a, from Dope Couture, she wears something that says something about dope on it,

Starting point is 00:42:47 Has that ever happened? I don't know. This could change everything. This could be a game changer. This could be, I might not ever have him on the show again. You might have ruined it. He doesn't listen to this.
Starting point is 00:43:04 This would be the one where I call him and go, you really should listen to this one. But you just say that because you're just jealous. Oh, thank you. He's just upset that he looks like him. That's the only reason he said it. Let me write a name before I forget Dax Shepard. So do you guys have anything to plug before we go?
