Doug hates Candy Rappers screening baby sticky seeds with 50 as a pop or kernels in his teeth. They're 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 loves movies. Coming to you once again from New York. This time we are coming to you from The Loft at City Winery, a lovely spot that I'm very happy to be in right now. And because I'm in New York, I'm always able to put together an awesome lineup of New Yorkers and visitors from elsewhere. But before I bring my guests out on stage, let's do the best part of the show.

It's Doug plugs. Doug plugs, Doug plugs, Doug plugs, Doug plugs. Settle down. What are my plugs? I wrote them down here, but, you know, sometimes I can't read my own handwriting. It's more and more of a problem all the time. I'm doing stand-up in Sweet Home San Diego on the night before Thanksgiving at the American comedy company, cacao, and the Benson movie interruption is back at Dynasty Typewriter

in L.A. on Monday, December 1st. For all of my dates and deeds and links, go to Doug Lovesmovies.com. That's Douglovesmovies.com. Yeah. Caccaw. Wally. Shh. Ted Danson.

There's no way Ted Danson knows that he's mentioned in every episode of the story. I wish he did. I just have four words to say that I thought of after the last episode of this show, the last episode we did that's out now, I couldn't think of the name Eddie and the Cruisers. I was like talking about Michael Peret, and I was like he was in that movie about the band. And I could remember the name of it,

and nobody on the show with me knew. what the hell I was talking about. But these four probably know about Eddie and the Cruisers. Let's get my guests out here. Please welcome Joey Bragg, Josh Gondelman, Seth Herzog, and Kate McCoochee.

Wow. All right. Josh, if you can move back, just scooch back just a little bit. And Seth, scoge up a little forward a little bit. Sorry about that, Joey. Sorry about that. Not too far. I just got to, now Joey's block.

Okay, that's good. I just have to be able to see all of your sweet, smiling faces for when we start playing the games. And just in general, I like being able to see all of my guests. Let's meet them individually, alphabetically. By first name. Damn it. He is in New York for the New York Comedy Festival. This show is not a part of that.

But I was still able to lure him over to participate. It's Joey Bragg, everybody. Wow. What an honor, you guys. I was getting wasted downstairs, and he was like, come up and do the show. You're just chilling at City Winery. on a cold-ass day

and it worked out great that you were here I appreciate you doing it this is your first live audience Douglo's movies yeah I've only ever done it on Zoom yeah you've been a zoomer

this is the first time I've worn pants during your podcast I didn't need to know about that I didn't need to know that at all but I heard your show during New York Comedy Festival sold out yeah big deal

heard it from you yeah thank you so much It was so cool. I was right by NYU, so everybody was 12 years old. It was great. Well, I appreciate you coming over here to perform in a less crowded environment. There's room for everybody. He is a New Yorker who does not care for the weather today.

It's Josh Gondelman, everybody. Hi, everybody. The weather today did. feel like environmentally like okay we haven't cooked it all the way yet but then personally I'm like fuck it bring on global warming yeah it's really like out of California when it's hot day after day after day you're like well this is probably global warming but you know it's comfy I you know I like it so far I'm global I'm global chilling that's what I'm doing but uh you know it's always you know you come to New York in the you know first part of November it's it can be risky but like

I think two years in a row now is a very comfortable Halloween on the East Coast. And so I would like that to continue and that's probably bad. You could wear like a skimpy, like, skirt. I could. You can wear the first ever

sexy Halloween costume. People do that? It's time somebody did that. Change the game. You could be a K-pop seaman hunter. Have you run that, have you ever, did you run that joke by your twin girls? I did.

That's what they, my twin girls did dress as those, those other girls. And I was like, are you guys seamen hunters tonight? They had no idea what I was talking about. No idea, which is why it worked. That's good. How old are they now? Seven. Seven.

Okay. So it's good they don't know about semen yet. Or seeking it out in a hunter style. She killed it when she, played Purple Rain Man the last time when I was here in New York, it's Kate McCoochee! Hi!

Hey, everybody. Hi, Doug. Hi. Yeah, nobody else was going to come up with that answer in that first game we played last time, but you pulled it out, you figured it out. I feel like I started strong, but then it withered away. Yeah, that happens. That's okay. You know, that's why

I brought it up. You got to take the wins where you get them. Heck yeah. I just love games, you know? Right, me too. Yeah, and we'll show everybody in a little bit what you brought with you. Okay, yeah, I have it right here. Yeah, we'll sew them that in a little while when I'm talking about today's prizes. And finally, they're on the end here, in spite of recent injury, give it up everybody for Seth Herzl.

Thank you, everybody. Thank you. I rolled my ankle in a different trivia panel show. Too much trivia, I got too excited. You shouldn't have been running around. I shouldn't have. Just stay in your seat. Yeah, exactly.

Just stay seated. So you don't, but that's not, you don't have to put an actual cast on your show? No, there's no cast. I have a thick boot. I wanted a high boot, like just below the knee. And that's a yeezy, right? It's a yeezy, yeah. I was running

Steve Madden I was running to a cab on Saturday night and I stepped on like a battery pack or something I didn't even know maybe a vape cartridge I don't know what it was

I did take a picture we can all take a look at it later Vapes are so dangerous I know vaps can really hurt Vapes can kill you and as I was approaching the cab I rolled my ankle really badly

I chipped the bone there's like a bone fracture in there and then I held on to the doors not to fall And then the cab driver was like, what just happened over there? I was like, I think I almost died. I'm still going to this party. Yeah, that was really an unforced error right there.

Very unforced error, yes. Stepping on a thing in the street. Yeah. Which is very, very easy to do here. Yeah, there's a lot of trash. A lot of detritus. Yeah. All right, before we play some games today, that's my guess.

But before we play some games today, I'd like to ask each of my guests. to recommend one motion picture, and we'll start with Joey. It could be something you've seen lately. It could be, you know, a classic you just finally saw or just anything you want. Just recommend one movie. I have a girlfriend who hasn't seen any movies, and so we've been dating for three years. I've been showing her every significant movie. We just watched, Oh, Brother, where are thou?

Oh, hell yeah. Oh, my God. So thank you. Thank you. Right. Light applause. Back up a second. Light applause for a brother up there.

Back up. Why hasn't she seen any movies? Like, was she, it just wasn't something interested her? No, she's one of those people that watches something, and, like, someone will get a call. Like, in the movie, someone gets a call from, like, an unknown number. And she'll be like, who's calling them? Who's calling? And so everybody that watched movies with her stopped watching movies with her.

And I just haven't given up yet. And she hasn't watched them on her own because she has nobody asked questions. Exactly. She's like, what is going on? Where art the brother? Why are they shooting cows with machine guns? The question I have about that movie, but do you remember anything that she brought up during it? Or does she stay quiet if it's with you?

Yeah, she stays pretty quiet. She loved, we thought use was a toad. Good life. My family will say. still say that too. Yeah. I love it. Yeah. She didn't know that what the Odyssey was, which also worried me a little bit. Is she 12? No. No, she's 13. You would think it's recommended reading.

It's not until like next summer, but Christopher Nolan's going to give her a whole probably three hour long lesson in what the Odyssey is. And did you know that book was written by the dad from the Simpsons? What? The expression That's Homeric has just changed entirely in the last

How long has Simpsons been on? It was originally called Do Odyssey. That's the Greek. That sucks. You shouldn't have laughed at it. You're just emboldening me to suck worse. Keep riffing, guys. Keep riffing. That's a good one.

That movie is it's very entertaining yeah it's great but it's also what happened you know when it's over it's like what did I just watch

like was there a story it's kind of a Coen Brothers thing though the movie ends and you're like huh now the Coen brothers they're like making things separately and I don't like anything I know me neither

I have to watch twice as many Coen brothers movies I don't like any of we got to get the Coen brothers and Outcast back together that's right or switch partners Ethan Cohen and Andre 3000

that's what I want to see I honestly would love that all right Josh what would you like to recommend I just saw a movie I don't go see a lot of movies that are real bad time and so when I do

I think I'm like it's good because I try to see movies that are nice time like a brother right thou but I went my friend and I went to see die my love and it's a bad time but great acting

Jennifer Lawrence incredible Robert Pattinson tremendous the other ones also great but it's a bummer and I'm rarely in the mood for a bummer but I know a lot of people are so if you are a bummer type people this is a good bummer

I feel like that movie could use an exclamation point after die or my love or both yeah they're could have been a lot more punctuation in that title. Yeah. There could have been a comma after die. Die comma, my love, exclamation point.

Yeah, I'd love that. You know, because then you really, you're a little more prepared for how big it's, you know, over the top. It's going to be, you know, like how they did with Mother! Yeah. I think it was cool that Darren Aronofsky adopted that Danzig song into a whole movie. Got a very hearty laugh over there from Santa in the off-season. It took me a while to get it, then I got it. Diet, my love.

Okay, so that's a current one. We got an old and a new. Kate, do you have something that's borrowed or blue? Well, I don't know if it's blue. I just, no, it's not blue. It's a documentary. But I just saw my mom Jane. Is that what it's called or my mother, Jane?

My mom, Jane. It's so good. Yeah, it was incredible. Use your microphone voice, though. Sorry. I know you're injured, but your hands are working. But yeah, it's the Jane Mansfield. Mariska Hargete is her mother, our daughter.

She's her mother and her daughter. But that's one of those docs, like, celebrity docs, where, like, there's real, real serious reveals in it. Like, there's, like, you learn stuff that's like, I had no idea. Twist and turns, and the footage that they have is really, Like, it ties in so. Like, I just thought it was direct really well. Like, it was a very cool story.

And, you know, sad, but also, like, you know, it's not as much of a bummer as, what is it, die? Yeah. Die, my love. Die my love. Which also could have been the name of Mariska Hargages. Oh. Oh, sorry.

Was that 60-year-old joke too soon for you guys? Die my mom. Yeah, yeah. Oh, no. But, yeah. Yeah, it's really good, and it's probably just sitting there on HBO. Yep. I wish I had known that because I bought it on Amazon and then realized that I had HBO.

I want my $3 back. There needs to be an app that tells you what you already have. Yes. It's Google. It's called Google. How do you spell that? I use an app called Real Good, R-E-E-L-Good, that if you type in the name of movie, I'll tell you what streamers it's on.

And you can even load in which streamers you subscribe to so that you don't have to learn that it's on one that you don't subscribe to because that's not, you know, unless you want to do free trial. Like, it's crazy how much you can just see, you know, if you cherry pick, you just want to see one thing that's on a streamer, just do the free trial and then remember to cancel it. That's the tricky part. Well, that's what they count on.

Like, it's a billion-dollar industry, people forgetting that they're streaming, that they're a subscriber. All right, we got three good ones as far as I'm concerned. There's going to be some clunkers coming up. You're the last person. And he's got a lot of bad recommendations. He's got a lot of clunkers. I was going to talk about some classics that I saw recently.

The Bugsie Malone movie with Scott Bayo. You guys remember that? Why did you do that? What? Why did you do that? Did your daughters watch that? No. Yeah, I was showing it to them.

I was like, I loved it as a kid. And I was like, you guys should see this movie I love as a kid. We're like all these kid gangsters and there's like the cars are bicycles and all the guns are pies in the face. Is Jody Foster in that too?

Kid hookers, kid murderers, yeah. The guy, the kid from Fish. Yeah, that guy. Here's my, here's, the songs in Bugs Dinoleone are really fun and especially if you like hearing children sound like Paul Williams but

Bougainer. Did he write all the songs? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but, you know, Scott Bayo, when he sings, he just sounds like, you know, Paul Williams put through some sort of, you know, some sort of voice-changing machine that still sounds like Paul Williams. But the thing that cracks me up about Bugsie Malone is that it's for kids. So when the gangsters shoot each other, let's have, you know, pie come out.

You know, let's have, you know, so it's like a pie fight. Right. And they get hit with the pies. But even when I was a kid, when someone gets hit with all the pies, you don't see them again. They're dead from the pies. Like it's still the same end result.

It just looks cuter when it's happening. Yeah. Their character does leave for the rest of the movie when they get hit in the face of the pie. The pie should be red. Except the final scene. The final scene where everyone gets a pie in the face and they all sing together.

At the other time you see them again. Yeah, they don't, the pies don't kill them at that point. Yeah. Which is nice. The other, can I recommend another old one? You can, but ultimately you're going to have to pick one that's your, that's your, that's your recommendation. I was talking to someone about how Clint Howard has always had the small parts in all the Ron Howard films, except for a movie Cotton Candy, where he's the lead. You ever seen that one?

No. Yeah, he's been the lead a few times, but in, you know, like, B movies. Yeah. Cotton Candy, I remember loving as a kid, too. So it's a silly movie about a high school band, basically. Directed by Ron Howard? No. I think he directed it. He was still Richie at the time, I think.

Huh. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It was a long time ago. Yeah. Yeah, because Clint Howard, I remember him all the way back to. He was on a show called Gentle Ben. Oh, yeah, Gentle Bear.

Oh, yeah, the Bear. Way more popular than Really Rough Ben, which was so few episodes. That is my favorite gay porn. really rough Ben. That's a documentary about Ben Rothlessburger that came out. Different kind of bear.

Different kind of bear. Exactly. All right. So which one are you going with cotton candy or Bugsy Malone? Okay, it's official. Bugsy Malone

is Seth's recommendation. All right. What was yours again, Kate? Oh, my dad mom. No, it's not. It's me. My mother. My mother, Jane.

Jane. My mom, Jane, and Bugsie Malone. All right, fantastic. I wrote Bugsie Malone down so sloppily. Like, I don't even like that recommendation, but I do. It is a very interesting movie. And directed by Alan Parker, who directed, like, you know, Midnight Express and a lot of really heavy movies.

It had that one really cute one. All right. Let's all take a little time. to chew on those recommendations. Maybe try to find out where they're streaming instead of listening to the commercials. And we'll be right back.

We're back. To recap for the listeners, during the break, we picked name tags, and Joey picked a Milo and Otis theme name tag. This is Dana and Sarah on it. Josh picked a playbill for Sweeney Todd that Rob changed to Sweeney Rob. And Kate, when I say playbill, they're picturing a small playbill, but it's a nice big poster.

And then Kate picked play on real life. He changed it to Neil Life. And Seth chose a Spider-Man sign made by Julie, who's looking forward to the next. Spider-Man, because apparently it's called brand-new Julie. That's why she's excited about it. But let's see. Now, we picked all the name tags

without anybody knowing exactly what we were playing for because I don't want anyone to be disappointed if they didn't get picked. I guess they still could be if they want to be. But it's a limited edition Douglas movies tote that everything is in. Yeah. I love it.

And then when I run out of them, I'm not going to make more. But I still have a few. But this was given to me by a friend of the show who was on the episode we did in Sacramento, Wendy Lewis. It is the weirdest. It's a roach clip. Do you remember those? For people that really want to smoke that last little tiny bit and you stick it into a weird little clip and they put it to your mouth?

Well, how about make it a really classy, special occasion with the roach clip? with this on it. With this big thing, like, can you imagine? Is that a Clint Howard Cotton Candy brand Roach Climb? Yeah, it's Cotton Candy as referenced before. But thank you, Wendy, for that.

But I would never be somewhere. I don't even use Roach Clips. If I, you know, if I'm down to the roachers, put it in a pipe and smoke it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Breach. Yes.

People like, oh, that's where that expression comes from. You put it in the pipe at you smoke yet. This is something I stumbled on out in Los Angeles. I'm not a puzzle person, but I, you know, grabbed it because, you know, in case the person who wins tonight is a puzzle person, and it's a New York City-based. It's a, you're going to love this, Rob, if you win.

It's a Broadway puzzle. of a bunch of the big signs in Times Square for Broadway musicals. What are the musicals on there? Like, what era are we talking? We're talking a time when at the same time were West Side Story, South Pacific, and Hare. 2008? Early 2000s, yeah. I was thinking 2000s for West Side Story.

2010-11 for West Side Story. You know, Chicago's always. always happening and phantom is on here too that's my review of the city of Chicago yeah it's always happening always especially now more than ever

and best of all for anybody who's an Edgar Wright fan excited about the upcoming this weekend his version of the running man is going to be in theaters it's an extremely thin running man fanny pack

I think you could get your phone and maybe a lipstick in there, I don't know, it's not really going to get much else in there. Well, you run with it. Yeah, it's a running version. It's a running version, yes, so you can't hold a lot of stuff. Oh, yeah, right? So that's an actual thing? Yeah.

No, it's a real thing. They didn't just go extra small on it for no reason. And then Running Man, Smetcher. Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, look at that. Crunack. That is nice.

Yeah, it's real nice. So somebody's going to win all of that. It's so much stuff I don't even know if I can... Do you want me to show it all back in the bag? Well, of course. We also have, because the great Kate is here, she likes to prepare better and better art for us every time. Look at this framed poster, or drawing, rather.

It just says, I think I love you, and I know I love movies. Thank you. What are those things like, newts? These guys? Yeah, what are they? No idea. I just call them creatures.

Yeah, they're little creatures, but they know how to skateboard. Yeah, these guys definitely know how to skateboard. You can see they're very confident. How do you know if they're male or female? You don't, actually, and that's okay, I think. Yeah, they're both they. They're, yeah.

The they is, yes. Gender, neuter. True art. Yes. Yeah, I love it. Yeah, I just call them creatures. Who knows? I'm not to add.

I'm just going to say, this is not a plug, but now that we're talking about it, I made plush ones for the holidays. Oh. And they have really cute butts. Nice. Clush, plush butts. Yeah. Well, thank you for bringing that, Kate.

Yeah. Whoever wins and I, don't forget to get your hands on that before you go, because it's not going to fit in this bag. I can barely get what I brought into this bag. Shall we play some games? Yeah. Let's play the feud. The last game tonight has kind of, you know,

has hints of feud. Friendships will end. And romances will begin. We'll be making out by the end of this. Like a couple of creatures. On skateboards. With plush butts. This first game is a game that Kate won the last time she was on the show.

And so let's see if she can do it again. It's called Purple Rain Man. This is a movie mashup title game. I'm going to tell you the actors that would be in a movie mashup title that I created. First, I'll tell you the third build actor. that's in the first title and then the third build actor that's in the second title.

Then we'll move on to second build both people and then top build for both movies. By that point, I hope somebody gets it. And last time there was silence until Kate finally figured it out. I can't remember. Is this, we take turns

or we just yell it out if we know it? Just yell it out on this one, just as soon as you think you know it. This would be like kind of a, just like the escalating nature of it would be like, a very fun, whimsical game to play while stuck in

one of those saw traps from the movie saw. Like you can't get your leg loose unless you figure this out.

Purple Rain Man. Okay. Clive Owen. Buzz saw coming down. Fuck! All right. Well, I'll have to, you know,

I'll have to save that for the next time. I'll bring a bear trap and, you know, we'll put Seth's good leg in it. All right, here we go. Just the people on stage yell out as soon as you think you know it.

Third build in this movie mashup title are Nicholas Holt and Linus Roach. Oh, Roach, we were just talking about. Roach clips. I don't think that's his full name. Linus Roach clip. They changed it at Ellis Island. I said they changed it at Ellis Island from Lionel Roach clip to Lionel Roach. Yeah.

They wanted to be... Thank you one person. They wanted... I deserved at least that. They wanted to feel less Italian. That's it. I'm just glad Seth asked you to say it again because I think nobody understood. I got the joke.

It's just telling like Ellis Island. Yeah. Okay. Nicholas Holt and Lionel Roach. Linus Roach. Linus Roach. Either way. I'm sure nobody's familiar

with that actor. Second build. How about Super Mansfield Park? That is a terrific guess. Incorrect. But a terrific guess, nonetheless.

See, that's how you play the game. Shooter, shoot, shoot. It's about the effort. Shooter, shoot. Second build are Rachel Brosnahe. Huh. Yep. and

Andrea Riseborough What? Yeah, you know her She's older She got nominated for Oscar For a movie called Two Leslie A couple years ago

And people were up in arms Because she got nominated Because she campaigned well Like they convinced people But I heard it was a really good performance though And I like her in this movie That we're talking about now

Top build are David Corenswet which is so not a movie star name Christopher Reeve and then David Corenswet That sounds like an athlete Yeah for sure

Like a baseball player Yeah absolutely Or somebody with a dripping feet They've got corn sweat They named them after what his grandparents did in the old country They had dripping Feex.

And Nicholas Cage. Okay. Super Weatherman? No. Damn. Super Wicker man? No. No.

You bet. The other one. There's got to be common common sound or word in there to link it up. Kate's somebody in the audience either just got the answer or had an orgasm.

Superman. Superman of war? Is that the movie? That's not bad because Nick Cage is in Man of War, but that's not the answer. I'm just going to say this for no reason, but Superman of La Mancha. That movie I'd see.

Yeah. He would fuck up that, the windmill. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, he wouldn't tilt at it. He would just mess it up. So is this a stumper? We can't get the Nick Cage version.

What did he? So you don't know what he? That's be recent. Super Mandy Yes, Super Mandy Wow Good job Josh Gondelman with the pullout

And now we did it Oh it starts so soon Yeah Well you don't know what we're ramping up to Well congratulations You got it that was that was what happened Last time with Kate It was like I was thinking well nobody's going to get this

And then she figured it out What was that something city of angels because it was because Nicholas Cage was in that one too Yeah, yeah I already forgot what it was though I don't remember what it was either Oh, sex in the city of angels

Sex in the city of angels That's it I had a guy that was Wrote to me on social media Saying that he was so excited When he figured that one out Before any of the panelists did But it's easier when you're sitting at home

I think And there's not like a saw What was your game? Oh, yeah Bear trap. Yes. Yeah. Heroin needle we can't reach.

All right. So since Josh won that first game, that means he gets to go first in our next game. It's a new game that I'm very excited about. It's called Now You Three Me. Huh. Woo! As some of you may know, there is a new movie in the Now You, You See Me franchise that is about to come out.

And I have been saying for years that they really blew it with these sequels. Because the first movie is called Now You See Me. The second one should have been called Now You Don't. And instead, they called it Now You See Me Too. And then now the third movie is coming out, which should be called Now You Three Me. And it is called Now You See Me, Colon, Now You Don't, with no. number. Yeah, that's where the magic

happens. They missed the opportunity. And then they chicken out. They could have just called it now you don't, but then they were like, we got to put now you see me in the beginning. Yeah, it's got a people or two they can't. And as long as we're giving notes on punctuation, that's a comma sitch right there. Now you see me comma, now you don't. Or a period. Yeah. Colon. I would

say a dash. A dash is fine. Yeah. Colin, I'm out on Colin. I may have misspoke. Maybe it is a comma. but I think it's a colon. I've stopped using dashes because the chat GPT thing that's like the giveaway but I often use dashes in my writing

you know? And then now it says people like oh then it looks like you just you did AI. Do you know about this? You got to use the punctuation that's in your heart. Which is a dash.

That's right. Okay. Huge applause, break. These are my people, people that have punctuation in their heart. Fuxuate the way you want. That was just a dash to the heart. All right, so we'll start with Josh.

Okay. And I will say a statement about that applies to one of the three movies in the Now You See Me franchise. Okay. And then Now You See Me Universe. The Now You See Me Now Universe don't. Yeah, the N-Y-S-M universe. and then Kate will if you missed then Kate will have a 50-50 and Kate misses then Josh will get the gimme point because you'll be smart enough to remember which of the three titles didn't get guessed okay and each time somebody gets one right then the next person in that in that order gets to go first and like I said Josh you get the first crack okay at the first one is this now you see me now you see see me two or now you see me three.

Or the one where they open up a sushi restaurant, now you're sashimi. Another applause. These people love things that fucking suck. Maybe they just like sashimi. This crowd loves a pun more than anything else. It makes

sense because they make name tag puns. Okay. Which one, Josh, do you think, is the longest in the franchise. Longest runtime? Longest runtime. I think it's the new one. Now you see me, now you don't. You think now you see me now you don't is the longest one. That's right, because it's got the longest title. Yeah, not bad, not bad. If only it were correct. It's not the right answer. Kate? I think I'm playing this right if I say I think it's the

middle one. Now you see me too. You think you're playing it right if you say that? I don't know. I mean, is this what I'm supposed to say? Yeah. Okay, great, great, okay. And my reason, do you want to know my reason?

Is that they were like, let's go bigger for the second one and then they pulled back for the third. I mean, that sort of makes sense. And that is the correct answer. They went way too far with the second one. Two hours

in nine minutes. Jesus Christ. Now you see too much of it. Now you see me wish I didn't. It's like watching, that movie is like watching Mark Zuckerberg do magic tricks. Right? Ever since Social Network, I can't... I also, when someone says Mark Zuckerberg,

I picture Jesse Eisenberg. Yeah. For real. Because he's like if Mark Zuckerberg had a better vocabulary and spoke quicker. Was cool and appealing, dressed better. Yeah, seems like a nice guy. John, they're different people. So the very first one, that one was one one

was one hour and 55 minutes. Then they went crazy with the two hours and nine minutes. And then now this new one is a really comfortable and slick hour and 52 minutes. Yeah, so rush out to see it, everybody. keep cinema alive go see that crap all right so that means uh kate is on the board kate's got a point and we start with you on this next one set okay here we go you ready um so wait yes all right which one of the three does not have mark ruffalo in it

I didn't know he was in any of the three It's not the morning show That's a hint He's in the morning show He plays a detective Trying to catch the Thief magicians I'm gonna say he's not in the third

Now you three me Oh you feel like he was like He'd had enough at that point He did the first two and he's too busy He didn't do the third Yeah he probably doesn't see Potential Oscar performance He was too busy doing task

Oh and that too like I hear that show is amazing. It's great. Loved every frame of it. He's doing tax and then task and then also spending a lot of time on social media. Yeah. He's always got something to say about the. Yes.

He's always out there speaking truths. That is the correct answer. That is the correct answer. Yeah. Joey. Oh, God. Are you ready? Nope.

Okay. Directed by John M. Chu. Of the Wicked films. Gotta be the first one, now you see me, OG. Right? Because I feel like he's been doing Wicked in the last two. Give it to me. me straight. I don't think you know the timeline.

When did now you see me too come out? Of these films. I don't know. I don't want to say too much. I don't want to help anybody, but I will tell you that you're wrong. Damn it. Josh. Okay. The judging by that, it sounds like, also probably I was thinking of Mark Duplas. Also, I think maybe, because they filmed the two Wickeds at once, I think. So maybe he did this one

after. So I'm going to say, John, M. Chu. Is that his middle initial thing? Bless you. Gazzoon. I wonder if that joke ever happens on the set. And he's like, you're fired. Extremely rude. I'm the boss. I'm going to go with Now You See Me. Now You Don't. Again, second straight answer. It's got to be heard one of these times.

So you're saying the third one? The third one. No, that's not it. Kate, what do you think it is? Okay. Well, it's got to be the second. It is. Wow.

Which was not only long enough ago that it was before he made the Wicked movies, but it also didn't make anybody go, oh, he shouldn't be making the Wicked movies. The first one, let's start with the third one, the one that's just out now coming out, is directed by an excellent director named Ruben Fleischer. I love Rubin. Who did the Zombie Land Movies.

So he's very familiar with it. Jesse Eisenberg. And then the first one was directed by Lewis Letier, who also did, like, the Hulk that had Ed Norton in it. And just a funny sidebar story. I do these shows called The Benson Movie Interruption, where we sit in the front row with microphones and talk shit during a movie.

And one time out in Los Angeles, we did the original Now You See Me, and just ripped into it the whole time, just absolutely tore it apart. And then I got to meet the director immediately after the show because he was in the audience. And he loved it. He absolutely loved it.

Like the man knows, he knew what that movie was. And then they did not bring him back for either of the sequels. Did he introduce himself by saying, Hello, Doug. Now you see me. What was that like, though? Did he introduce himself to you? Yeah, back when it was at, when we used to do it at Cinefam,

and they have that back like porch area where we'd just hang out afterwards and, you know, drink and chill and, yeah, he came up to me and to all of us, like all the other comics and it was just like, you know, don't worry, I thought it was funny. You know, he was very, very nice about it.

And then he never worked again. I think he's made a few things. Probably a lot of feature film directors now are directing episodic because there's so many streaming shows. that are pretty cinematic, you know, in and of themselves. All right, so what happened there? Who got the point?

Kate got the point. Kate got the point. I lucked out, though. Yeah, that's true. But Seth is, he's also on the board, so... Am I? Let's see how he does on this next one. Do we all have equal points?

No. No. You... I'm the least. You have one point. All right. Kate has two. And then Josh.

and Joey are here. Yeah. We are here. I said that really funny thing earlier though, so that's, you know, that kind of earned me

some goodwill, if not points. Josh has at least one point, right? From the previous game. Yeah. Okay. We definitely have,

like, you know, every episode we have America's favorite where people vote which one of you they like the best. And then I put the information in a sealed envelope

and don't tell anybody. I don't want anybody to get a big head. No one ever finds out. No one's going to know. No one's going to find out. All right. Here we go.

Seth. Yeah. Common is in it. Yeah, he is. Common is in one of the three films. Which one do you think it is? The second. No.

No, he's not in Nau-Yatoumi. No. This Academy Award winner Common. Yes, Academy Award winner Common. Joey? Is he in the first one? Are you asking me? Can we get a hint?

I'm going to say the first one. He probably dies in the first one. Oh, I don't know what the body count is and now you see me movies, but I think everybody lives. I don't know if anybody dies in any of them ever. But Kamen was in the first one. Thank you.

Doing this for you, Sarah. I got you. All right. So Joey is on the board. He's got one point, and unfortunately we've come to the end of this game. Yeah. This is embarrassing that I didn't score any points, because I'd really been studying for this game specifically. All right, Josh.

I'll give you one more. Fuck, I'm so bad at this game. We'll see how this goes, but I'm unofficially calling it. that Kate is the winner of this game. But just for fun, Josh, which one does not have Ila Fisher? Which one? I think she joined for the second one. She not in.

So I'm saying she missed the first one and joined up after. She's not in now you see me. It's almost like you did the absolute opposite of studying for this game because you're consistently incorrect. Incorrect. I'm so bad. The answer. Kate? The third movie?

Wait, which one did Josh say? I said the first one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And Kate said the third. And she's in the second one. She's not in the second one. The second one is the one she dipped. That was, I was going to say the second one.

Yeah, you would have if I had to give it you the chance. Yeah. I just want to say the words. You would have love to say the second one. She was not in the second one. Yeah, because she was pregnant. Yes. And you know how magicians can't be pregnant.

No. The magic doesn't work if there's a baby in them. It's actually really dangerous for a fetus to do magic around it. It's hard to saw someone in two. The babies don't need to be exposed to that. He saw that lady in four. Exactly. I knew there was something there.

He sawed her in two for two. Yeah. Oh, there you go. Eating for two? Sawing for two. So she was replaced by Lizzie Kaplan. in the second one. But I feel like all of you are going to go home

and really binge watch the entire first two films, all four hours of it, and then get ready for this new one that's just about to come out. It's not doing too bad on Rotten Tomatoes, so maybe this one really brings it home. But congratulations, Kate McCutie. You know what that means.

you don't win anything, but you do get to go first in our third and most important big ass game tonight and we'll do that after this break. We'll be right back. We're back! I got to say, the fun we have in the commercial

breaks on this show, the people that don't come to the live tapings are really missing out. Like, for instance, the people that are here now, and seeing all of this happen, they get to see that somehow I brought two pens. What's that about? It's just a fun visual gag. Look at that guy. He's got too many pens.

What kind of nerd? Why does he get a pocket protector? Well, that's because I only have my marsupial pouch in this particular hoodie. Our final game today is a doozy. Yeah, it's a big one. We play this game in three rounds where each of my four guests all get to make a guess and hopefully rack up some points. Arguably the greatest New York filmmaker, a man that makes a lot of movies in and about New York, but also is not afraid to travel to other parts. but he's very much a New York filmmaker

and so I got it. Ed Burns. Yes, and he also has, there's a documentary about him that I haven't watched yet on Apple TV. It's called Mr. Scorsese and this game is called Mr. Scorsese. Yeah.

Wow. Or Mr. Scorsese as Zach Galvanakis pronounces it in bird man other words in parentheses the tremendous importance of ignorance or something like that right no that's that Nicholas Cage movie it's a heart freaking work of staggering bird man

I just saw the clip recently of somebody pointing out that one scene where Michael Keaton is flying in Birdman he's like he's just dressed in regular clothes and then he lands on the ground on a New York City street and then just starts walking away and it's really seamless. Once you know, once somebody points it out,

there's like an extra, you know, a person on the street that as he lands, runs up behind him and really quickly unhooks the wire from the back of his... So look for that the next time you're watching Birdman. In between scenes of endless drumming. Be sure to watch for that if you don't have too much of a hit. So I went to the folks at Rotten Tomatoes who ranked in order based on the Rotten Tomatoes score of his films, 34 Martin Scorsese films. Then I wrote down the top 10, number one through 10, of the best reviewed movies made by one of the most critically adored filmmakers ever.

Who won that one? Kate? You're going to go first. Then we'll flip the order around. Then we'll go to Josh, then to Joey, then to set. So are we trying to get any of the 10? You will take turns, yeah. It's like trying to get the answers on the board and family feud. I've got the 10 movies written down, and number one is worth 10 points.

Number 10 is worth one point. And then there's all those points in between. What's number five worth? Five points. Maybe six. Maybe six. It's six. Okay.

I couldn't do the math fast enough. But five is worth six. And six is worth four. Six is worth five. All right. But you don't worry your heads about that. You just worry about getting as high up on that list as you can. Who starts?

With each guest. Kate will start. and you will go last, Seth, in case you were wondering. Damn it, I'm wondering. Yeah, because I already said it earlier in the description. We're starting with Kate, then Josh, that Joey, then you. Let's do it. But there's plenty of movies to choose from.

I know. And who knows where they're going to fall here on the list. It's kind of surprising. I remember this the last time. There were a lot of movies that, I can't remember what it was that we were, but it was like, that's not on there? Oh, it was Tom Hanks, I think. Maybe.

Yeah. Yeah, could have been. Or maybe Spielberg, maybe. It was Tom Hanks? Yeah. Okay, I stand corrected. It was Tom Hanks. What's your first?

Oh, and one more important thing to note is that each of you can go to your lifeline, which is the person who's name tag you picked. You get to go to them once. Start thinking, Sarah. You get to go to that once. And I often tell the guests that, you know, you might not want to save it. for your third guess because by then a lot of movies will already have been mentioned and your particular lifeline might be dry it might be like on a millionaire when they call somebody at

home and they say the whole question they go um i think maybe and then the time runs out that could happen to me kate what's your first guess of all the films by mr scorsese which movie do you think of is would be the number one most popular with the critics. Good fellas? Which, we've been talking about punctuation all night. That's a great. Good fellas? That's a great.

Goodfellas should be a question mark at the end because, you know, frankly, they're not that good. To find good is what I say. They're definitely fellas. Yeah, they're fellas. They got some ladies in there, but those, The ladies just get led down scary alleyways and told just go around there. Just go over there.

Goodfellas is number four on the list. Wow. Okay. Good answer. Good answer. Answer? Yeah, number four. It's worth seven points for Kate.

That's a real nice, strong start for Kate. Josh, what's your first guess? I'm going to go just as a hometown. guy, I have to imagine that the departed is top ten. Yeah. Well, you know, what you imagine isn't necessarily a reality

but it's number nine on the list. Sorry, Rob. Yeah, so Josh is on the board with two points. See, I would have put the departed much higher. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, also the

degrees here, like his top 10 are all like 92% or higher. But strangely he doesn't have a single 100% movie even though he's had some pretty amazing movies. Joey?

I'm stuck between picking two. I'm going to say taxi driver. Taxi driver is solid, like it's very memorable experience and It's set in D.C. though, right? Or is it New York?

It's New York? It's not D.C. Cab. D.C. Taxi driver. The line wasn't Travis Bickle in D.C. Cab. Should have been. They split his shift with Bill Maher. And then the one, the Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifah one? Or Travis Bickle is there?

Yeah. That one's good. Oh, taxi. That's a lot. wild one, but also in New York. No, it's so funny, when I think of a taxi driver, I flash on how there's a political campaign going on. That's why I said DC, because there's no politics in New York. We learned that recently.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's all communism from here on here. Thank you. Let's hear for communism. Taxi driver is number 11. I'm sorry. Wow. I'm sorry, it just...

What the fun? That's a squeak. Got squeaked up, good old taxi driver. God damn. I know, because it's such a fun watch. Yeah. That's a romp. That movie is a romp.

It's non-stop laughs. I mean, Albert Brooks is in it. Neal life. All right. But, Joey, you were right there. You were right there. I'm sorry, Sarah. So don't you worry about your prospects tonight, Joey.

All right, let's go to Seth. What's your? first guess mean streets got applause yeah if it was an applause meter you would have been that would have been probably number one but still an impressive start for you Seth number three yeah wow seven points is that right no eight points eight points you get eight points you get eight points so you're you've taken the lead now and but it's just also

it's also a crazy coincidence that he just fucked up his foot on the mean streets of New York Mean streets they are Yeah Back to you Kate With the weather I'm going to go with my lifeline

Neil help me out Neil what do you think Raging Bull Neil says raging Bulls Go for it I was going to say Raging Bull Sorry Kate Joey was going to say that, so...

So, let's hold. Yeah. Say something else, you know. Raging Bull is number seven on the list. Thanks, Neil. I had seen you pantomimiming to Sarah.

I was trying to say to Sarah. She was raging ball? Raging Bull or taxi driver? Taxi driver, raging bull. I mean, seven is good, but that's another one I thought might rank a little higher on the list.

It's pretty, pretty, classic movie with De Niro and Peschi both got Oscars but then Annie Hall went home with the best picture that year. New York.

Yeah, that's when all the movies were in New York. Okay Josh, this is time for your second guess. It worked great for Kate going to her life line. Yeah, I'm going to Rob. That's what I'm Rob. Rob. We are in St. Casino, Doug. That's our answer. Well, I went

to the trouble of jotting down the top 15 just for the hell of it. This bodes well. It's in the top 15. Top 10 is a subset of top 15. It didn't make the cut. Rob, you're fucking deck to me. I love that movie

and it's the only James Woods movie I'll watch because he gets beat up a lot in it. But sorry. sorry Josh and Rob you were such a good team until that happened this is the feud I foreboded earlier Joey

what do you want to do lifeline or do you want to guess you for my last round because I got an out of left field guess I think knowing that Raging Bowl and taxi driver weren't as high I'm going to guess the last waltz thank you thank you number one

on the list. Whoa. I knew it. It's because nobody that knew they wouldn't like that movie watched that movie. That's why it's 100%. Because it's not a guy that's like, I'm going to watch his rock doc, but I don't like them.

You know? Yeah, they probably had like the music critics from the publications watched that movie. The film critics were busy watching something with a story. This music has videos. I love it. Ten points. That Rock, it's Joey, into the lead.

Wow. Thank you. Thank you. It's all on you, Sarah. Still anybody's game, though. Anybody. The pressure. Seth, what do you want to do? No one's talked about the Leo era in the Scorsese Uvra. He said Departed. Which is a big era. Yeah, that was the beginning of it.

What about, like, the Aviator? Hmm. Now, when you say it like that, is that your final answer? I'm just mulling things over. I think you mean what's eating the aviator. Yeah, let's try that. Let's try the aviator. I'm sorry, the aviator did not make it.

Wow. Wait, what is when you say it? Into the top ten. It is? No. It's not. It didn't make the top 10. Didn't make the top 15?

Mm-mm. Wow. I think, I honestly think based on, you know, my bad ability to remember things, that it was number 16. Was it? Yeah. I think so. How dare it? Do you suck at this guy?

Well, he still has a chance, though. He's not out of it. Yeah. Yeah. Could happen for him. But let's go to Kate. And this is your third and final game. guess, and you got, what did you get so far? You got four points for Raging Bull and seven points

for, good fellas. Good fellas. Thanks. I blanked. And so, and I apologize, Joey, when I said that you rocket into the lead, Kate has 11 points. Oh. So, Kate, you could solidify your lead right now. My guess, the thing I'm about to guess really is, it's a wild car. I'm just going to go for it because it's just been in my head and funny you said the Leo era I was going to go with gangs of New York Oh Love it

That would have been a better guess This is going to be a really Suspensful finish Because gangs of New York Did not make the list Yeah But Kate's still in the lead with 11 points So somebody else has to

Get something with more points Like Josh, you're up now You gotta nail like the second place movie. I'm going to go with the one that someone yelled out because I do think it is a good answer and I think everyone has had a chance to use it or not. So I am going to go

with After Hours. Oh. Did no one else hear that? Okay, maybe just God is speaking to me as a vessel and asking me to guess After Hours. Thank you. Is that Griffin Dunn in the back?

He worked here and he's yelling out answers. I love it. But no. I'm sorry. After Hours did not make it. Whoa. I'm shocked by that. Yeah. It's, boo, indeed. It is number 18 on the list.

Wow. Wow. After Hours. But that is a great movie. I do love it. And thank you for being here, Josh. Thank you, Doug. Joey. Sarah. He's gone to his life.

King of Comedy is good. Do I have to take her? Do I have to say that one? No, you don't have to. You can In your face, Sarah. You can discard that and pick your own. I love King of Comedy. It's great. I kind of want to do Killers of the

Flower Moon. Because I feel like it swept at the Oscars. I just like the way you say it, Killers of the Flower Moon. Is there a colon between the Flower and Moon? Killers of the Flower Moon? That thing's killing everything. Flowers, moons.

Sorry, Sarah. I do love to accommodate. I'm nervous. Not for you guys. We've already seen one audience member performer falling out in this round. We can't lose another. You're my ride home, Sarah. What are you going with Joey?

I'll do Killers of the Flower Moon. He's saying Killers of the Flower Moon is somewhere in the Top 10 best reviewed, Scorsese Films of all time. And it is, it is number five on the list. Yeah. Six more points for Joey. Wow. Six more points for Sarah.

Yeah. So can you tell me if King of Comedy was on that list? No, because I'm going to say it now. Hang on a second. Slow down. Slow down, Seth. I got to set up the drama. Because now Joey has a lot.

16 points and Seth your only chance to win this thing is if you can name the number two movies on the list because that'll give you nine more points and put you one point ahead of Joey this is the most down-to-the-wire exciting finish to this game we've ever had have you used your lifeline previously no I haven't so you're you're gonna just I just want to know if she had any ideas. Well, you don't have to ask, she can just give you a title and you can discard it. Yeah. So you don't have to ask her. I'm going to see if she has a better idea than I have. Well, how does, she doesn't know what your idea is. I don't know. I don't yet either, so. She's, she's like, uh, she's noncommittal, but just go ahead and ask her. What do you think?

Shutter Island? She says Shutter Island? No. Which is why I said after it was over. Sarah is hushing Joey from the audience. Oh, yeah. No, do that one. It went, I thought of that, I thought of that, I was like, I don't think I'm true. I will say the King of Comedy.

Are you going back to that one? Going back to that. The King of Comedy is number 12 on the list. So close. We plan this from the beginning. So close, Seth. Congratulations. Congratulations, Joey.

You did it. Thank you. Thank you. Suck it. What was number two? I tell you after I tell you all the other ones. Oh, yeah. But first, Joey gets to, since he's the winner,

he gets to do his plugs first. What would you like to promote, Joey? Oh, I made my New York Comedy Festival show already sold out. Honestly, I got nothing. Watch my TikToks. Tell your friends and family. About Joey Bragg.

I should say before anybody does their plugs, this is going to come out Monday. So, you know, if you got anything going on this weekend, keep it to yourself. I'll be at Winona State University in two weeks. Students only. Just for everybody's edification, let's break down the rest of the movies. Number 10 was Alice doesn't live here anymore. Very popular, one best actress for Ellen Burstyn. and the late Diane Ladd, who just passed, was the original,

the OG flow that was later in that TV sitcom. Number eight. Rakeem has the OG flow, but gone. Progressive had the OG flow. I do. Someone would love that expression, OG flow. Number eight is something that I would have been particularly impressed if anybody said these words in this order out loud.

Number eight is Rolling Thunder Review a Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese He got his own name in that one That was number eight Is that a documentary? I think I have seen that long.

Yeah, it's good I think Number seven I think it's about an eighth best movie Yeah Number seven is Raging Bull Number six For some reason I thought this would be one that Kate pulled I don't know why I thought that

Hugo Remember Hugo? Actually I have no idea of Hugo Wait what is it? It's animated It's not animated It's live action What was I thinking?

It feels animated You're thinking of adventures of Tintet I'm not as a director of Tintet I am thinking of Adventures of Tintin Yeah It was all It was all took place in a train station And Sasha Baron Cohen was the mean

Oh, yes. Is it Asia Butterfield? Chloe Grace Moretz was in it when she was little. All right. Number five was Killers of the Flower Moon, four Goodfellas, three mean streets. And number two, the one that could have put

anybody over the top, but I don't know why anybody would say this. This one stuns me. Bringing out your dad. With a 98% score with the critics on Ron Tomatoes, the Irishman. Really?

I was going to say the fucking Irishman That was on my short list But I was like there's no way it's on the list That's what I said That was when I was for sure Wasn't on that list Yeah I thought so too Remember when Robert De Niro

plays a 30 year old in that movie And he kicks the guy out of the thing And then you watch him go Get out of here And they're like wow Best actor nom Yeah I mean Joe Pesci came out of retirement

Because they You know because he was told They'd make him look young and then he looked like that. And then he went right back into retirement. Yeah, I don't need any more that CGI shit on my face. So one more time,

Joey Bragg is our winner tonight. Thank you. Thank you. Who are you playing for again? Oh, you're a smile and Otis and Sarah. Here you go. Can you pass that to her? Yeah, sure.

And Kate, give her the painting. Yay. Thank you. Instead of a painting, I call it a painting. I know, Seth, you've got to run off to another gig, so you want to do your plugs real quick? I do a suite, just half a block from here, on the Chelsea Music Hall, 15th, between 9th and 10th.

Next Tuesday is our big Thanksgiving show, November 18th. So if you're in the neighborhood, next Tuesday, come over one block away. It's a really fun show. Nice. I think Erica Rhodes is going to be on it, and Pete Lee and some other people. It's going to be really fun.

Real quick, Seth, before you go, what do you think was his worst-reviewed movie number 34 out of 34? That's a good question. Okay, you can go. Hugo. No, I know. I was the worst-reviewed movie.

I know, Wolf of Wall Street? What? Can I guess? Not many of her best picture. I know, I know. I was going to do it. Silence. No, no.

No, that got good reviews, too. Shutter-eyed. But it was one of those movies that described my reaction to it in the title. Absolute silence. Boxcar Bertha. Oh.

Yeah. One of his early ones. Yep. But his worst reviewed movie, 54% of Rot Tomatoes. That's on a bad day for him. He's still pretty close. That's amazing.
