Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seats with 50 azipop or kernels in his teeth. They're still not warm, that he won't sleep, but Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey everybody. My name's Doug and this is Doug Loves Movies. This is Doug Loves Movies. This is Doug Loves Movies. That's twice in like the last month or two that I've done that. I've totally fucked it up. Coming to you once again from
Starting point is 00:00:33 the UCB Theater in Los Angeles, California in the year 2015 on Tuesday, January 13, going on 30. Since last I spoke and you listened, I did a stand-up show at Spokane, Washington, where many members of the audience
Starting point is 00:00:52 suffered from Amy Adams disease, which is the inability to not yell out answers during the games. I did a stand-up show at a rock club in Spokane, and it was a great turnout, awesome crowd, super fun show. But I dared to try to play Last Man Stanton at the end, and everybody in the audience just thought it was, the game was just everybody yells out the answers. They didn't give a shit about the people on the stage.
Starting point is 00:01:19 And they all just started yelling out names of, it was Kevin Costner that we were doing, and they all just started yelling out Kevin Costner names, and so it got kind of crazy. I got kind of mad at them, as you can imagine. But other than that, it was a super fun show, and everybody there was really, really nice to me. So Spokane, I keep getting apology tweets from people. Sorry how my city treated you or whatever.
Starting point is 00:01:44 And it's like, well, no, I just won't play that game again next time. I'll tell a few more dick jokes and then say goodnight. And everybody would have gone home happy. Charleston, South Carolina. I'm doing stand-up this Friday, January 16th at the Sotil Theater. I hope I'm
Starting point is 00:02:00 pronouncing that right. As part of the Charleston Comedy Festival. That's this Friday. And then San Francisco, we're doing the final two Twilight movies. We've done three of them in San Francisco at the Castro Theater. We're going to bang out the last two as part of Sketch Fest on February 7th and 8th. Sketch Fest, sfsketchfest.com for tickets. I've got amazing comics interrupting
Starting point is 00:02:27 on both of those. As I always do. I always try to get amazing people. Now it's time for Tweet Relief. Tweets about movies. At Tidmore, T-I-D-M-O-R-E Tidmore tweeted about the movie Whiplash. Whiplash is the best
Starting point is 00:02:43 Whiplash since Snidely. This has been tweet relief. Tweets that no one's going to even get. But it made me laugh. And the prize bag, you guys, is so full of stuff. It's really, it's one of those Apple store bags that you can turn into a backpack, and you're going to need to, because this stuff is so heavy. Like, there's a bag of these in here. There's a t-shirt and a sticker from All Things Comedy.
Starting point is 00:03:24 The sticker says you're an All Things Comedy supporter. That's Bill Burr and Al Madrigal and some other people, podcasters, all got together and started their own podcasting. What do you call it? It's like a society network, but it's run by all the comics. There's nobody like, I guess they're all in charge of themselves. A Poke Bowl, as featured on Getting Doug with High. And we're going to have to talk
Starting point is 00:03:49 to the guests about the next few things. Oh, a lighter, of course, from Chameleon Glass. Oh, and a Sharpie we've got to tell you about. You're not going to believe this Sharpie, you guys. It's crazy. Let's give a big big warm welcome to my four guests tonight. Pat Francis,
Starting point is 00:04:08 Brent Weinbach, Milana Weintraub, and John Hodgman. Hey. That's Milana, everybody, and she's back. Hi. Fine trub. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Yeah, I just, so, my whole mind, that's all I could think about the whole time. Was not saying my name wrong? Yeah. You said a lot of other things before that. I know, but they're all written down, and they're all words that I know how to pronounce. But then you look at your name written as it's spelled, and it's not, it doesn't seem like it would be pronounced Vintrop. Okay, well, I'll never give you a hard time for saying it wrong.
Starting point is 00:05:01 All right. Even though you do every time. That was wrong again? No. Yes. All right. You brought a bag of cuties? Yeah, they're cuties.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Where'd you get these? Oh, at the orchard. Oh, the one over on Pico and... No, the orchard across the street at Gelson's. Oh, okay. Yeah. Beautiful Gelson's Orchard. Well, thank you for bringing those. I also brought some gummy treats
Starting point is 00:05:37 just to pass out individually for everyone, even the losers. So when do you pass those out? I know you mentioned that it was a tradition because you did it the first time you were on the show. I've done it pass those out? I know you mentioned that it was a tradition because you did it the first time you were on the show. I'd done it once
Starting point is 00:05:48 and I want to do it again and that makes it a tradition. So when did you pass them out last time? Like now? After I won. Then you walked around and poured them
Starting point is 00:05:58 into people's mouths? Here, I'll do it right now. Okay. But you can continue with your podcast. Yeah, that'd be great. Okay. I'm not going to continue with your podcast. Oh, yeah, that'd be great. Okay. I'm not going to stop everything for this.
Starting point is 00:06:07 No, it's not going to be very interesting to the people not here. It's kind of fun to listen to, imagine that Lily from the AT&T commercials is walking around the room giving everyone a gummy. What a gracious guest. This feels like a gummy. What a gracious guest. This feels like a cult. That's John Hodgman, everybody. His first appearance in the L.A. version of the show, I believe.
Starting point is 00:06:38 I do, too. Spelled Weintraub, pronounced Hodgman. And you brought something that was delivered to you in a custom bag with artwork on it, so you added your name to it. There's a guy named Jeffrey Rowland who makes T-shirts for my Judge John Hodgman podcast. And I asked him to send a large Judge John Hodgman neutral T-shirt and then an extra large Canadian House of Pizza and Garbage T-shirt, which is one of our main sponsors on the podcast.
Starting point is 00:07:13 And I believe that that's what's in that bag, but I don't know because I didn't open it. And I didn't open it because Jeffrey or his wife Holly decorated the bag. They sent it to me with a picture of a sperm whale on it and a very beautiful calligraphed H. And so I figured we'll make that part of the prize as well. And you'll also get their address on the return shipping label and information about where I stay irresponsibly in Hollywood. There you go. And what brings you out to California?
Starting point is 00:07:46 Are you visiting for a particular project or something? Just doing the podcast circuit. Well, you know, I'll be back in LA I mean, New York on March 8th if you want. You could have just stayed home and I'd bring it to you. I'll see you then. Okay, bye. Thanks everybody.
Starting point is 00:08:07 That joke would imply that the podcast circuit was only your podcast. True. That's Brent Weinbach, everybody. Brent Weintraub is correct. Brent brought for the prize bag a piece of paper that he's turned into a coupon. That I found at an orchard.
Starting point is 00:08:31 It's a coupon. Good for one Mostly Live album. By you. By me. Mostly Live is the name of the album. So that's a coupon. So what do you do?
Starting point is 00:08:46 Like, you shove this in the internet? How do you redeem it? You just hold onto it, put it underneath your pillow. I'll come in at night. I'll come through the window. And you'll find a special gift the next morning. It might not be the CD. It's not something sexual, though, in case some of you are laughing at that possibility.
Starting point is 00:09:08 And Pat Francis is here, you guys. Hello. Another return guest. These are all return guests. So there's going to be some excellent gameplay tonight. It's going to be very exciting. I brought a bunch of stuff. You brought so many things.
Starting point is 00:09:20 I went crazy. Yeah. Let's start with your wife. I brought my wife. Wait, who wrote this book? That's my wife. My crazy. Yeah. Let's start with your wife. I brought my wife. Wait, who wrote this book? That's my wife. My wife! Okay. I screwed it up. She's a big deal.
Starting point is 00:09:34 Yeah, she wrote this book about a screenwriting teacher. Am I married? I don't think I'm married. She wrote a book called The Coffee Break Screenwriter. And also signed it. Did she write something funny in there? I'm married. She wrote a book called The Coffee Break Screenwriter and also signed it. Did she write something funny in there? I doubt it.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Maybe her name is funny. What is her name? It's Pilar Alessandra. I'm going trouble. She wrote Love Movies, Love Writing, Love Your Story. And then she signed it.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Not funny at all. No. Inspirating. Unless you find love ridiculous. To get a goddamn sense of humor. I know. No, but it's a nice sentiment. And then, speaking of things that are hilarious,
Starting point is 00:10:13 you thought someone in this audience might enjoy owning an Eddie Money CD. Well, now wait a minute. That's just not any Eddie Money CD. Oh, it is. That is autographed by Eddie Money. It is autographed by Eddie Money, you guys. Yeah, Google
Starting point is 00:10:27 him. You'll figure out who he is. Yeah. Oh, he's in those commercials for Geico. Yeah, he looks like a nutjob. Yeah. He really does. He really looks crazy. I like the one where the guy spikes the lunch meats. I like that one, too. It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:10:44 And then you also brought a Never Not Funny podcast-a-thon. What do you call this thing? Tumblr? That's something that, yeah, what do you call that? Cup. I call it a cup. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Okay. But it's really sturdy. It's something you get for free and then throw away. It's a really sturdy item, though. That's from... Shouldn't there be a straw that goes with it? You know what? Look.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I didn't say it was never used. I just brought it along. And I brought one more thing that you wanted to chat about. That Sharpie. Oh, that's right. It's the worst promotional item in the history of promotional items.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Yeah, because it says on it, in the same lettering but very small, is the Cheap Trick. It's the Cheap Trick font. Font. Google them. They opened for Eddie Money a few times. It says the official Pat Francis autograph pen.
Starting point is 00:11:40 Right. Wait a minute. Huh? What? Can I see it? Sure. You didn't get Monogrammed Sharpies Yeah
Starting point is 00:11:48 I did I want this I mean I don't want This dumb one With your name on it But You want You want ones
Starting point is 00:11:56 With your name on it Oh I do I do And then I don't have To sign anything I just hand them the pen Might Might I recommend
Starting point is 00:12:03 An ACDC font? I'd have to Google it. Okay. Alright. That did just give me a great idea. I'm going to sign Pat's pen. This is meta. Yeah. I'm going to sign it with my Sharpie.
Starting point is 00:12:19 Does Sharpie write on Sharpie? It does. Is there nothing Sharpie can't do? Is that a custom Sharpie pen you're writing with? They printed Sharpie on it? This is, man, this is the... It's not easy.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Yeah, but I did it. That looks good. Sharpie writing on Sharpie is like a snake eating its own tail. A really stupid snake. So all of that is in the prize bag tonight. Someone's going to win. And I'm kind of excited about, this is a first for me, I think. Oh, if anyone wins the prize bag, hand me that piece of garbage cup,
Starting point is 00:12:59 and I'll throw it away for you. Provides such a service. Brent actually said to me, when I asked him to come on the show again, he said, or maybe he said the next time I'm on the show, but however it came up, he basically named a game that he wants to play, and
Starting point is 00:13:19 didn't know necessarily the name of the game, but he described it in enough detail that I know what he's talking about. What's that? Last time I did it, you called it Seth Rogen. Right. So that's how I know it as. I don't know if that's the name of it still.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Oh, okay. I would have recognized that. Okay. But you said, let's just play that game where everybody names the actors. Yeah. No, not the actors, the movies that an actor was in. Yeah, yeah. See, you described it beautifully.
Starting point is 00:13:48 Yeah, I think that's even better than Seth Rogen, I think. I knew exactly. Well, it's called Last Man Stanton. Oh, okay, that's, okay, good. And we're going to play it in a moment. But first... Tease. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:01 But first, we have to determine who you will be playing for today. So I'm going to say, let the games begin. And the name tags will come out. And you guys all go select who you want to play for. And while you do that, we're going to do this. We're going to take a quick commercial message. We're going to talk about our friends over at Xero. X-E-E.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Why am I doing the ad? Let's just listen to it. We'll be right back. And we're back! That was a really thorough process there where you chose your name tags. I know which one I like the best. I know the one
Starting point is 00:14:37 that's got the highest retail value. But, uh... Let's start with Milana. Who are you playing for down there? I'm playing for Chad, Buddy Chad. Oops, I didn't look at the back. That's Chad. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:51 You can look at the back. We just don't want you to say it out loud. Okay. What kind of an animal is that dressed like Marty McFly? What is that? What is it, Chad? It's a panda. Is that Marty McFly? Yeah, it is.
Starting point is 00:15:06 Very nice. Can I say something about Chad? Sure. No, you prefer I didn't? No, and then especially when Judge John Hodgman had my back on that. Sorry. Thanks. Sounds like at least two of us
Starting point is 00:15:21 want to hear about Chad. I'm just saying that Chad's my friend. Is that cheating? Wait, you're playing for your own friend? Well, I feel... Sounds like at least two of us want to hear about Chad. I'm just saying that Chad's my friend. Is that cheating? Wait, you're playing for your own friend? Cheating Chad. Well, I feel like I owe him... You can't play for your friend. It's a conflict of interest. No, the interest is still just me.
Starting point is 00:15:37 That Sharpie's going to go to Chad, and then you'll be like, thanks, Chad, I'll take the Sharpie home. I thought she was going to do it with the Clementines. Yeah, it could be anything. to do it with the Clementines. Yeah, it could be anything. I really just want the Clementines. But can I explain to you please why I have a special
Starting point is 00:15:51 interest in my friend Chad besides him being my friend? Is that he taught me how to play the Molten Game and I won last time and I feel like he deserves a little bit of celebration. You almost got a third of the crowd. I refuse to applaud.
Starting point is 00:16:10 It's only the people I gave gummy bears to. I refuse to applaud for this crooked, corrupt... I can't believe I flew across the country for this podcast. And now it's being rigged by this cult leader handing out gummy bears and currying favor and playing for her friends.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Who are you playing for, John? Some stranger that I don't know. The way it should be. She handed me a poster that says The Adventures of Chris Tintin. And it has a female version of the Belgian comic book character Tintin and it has a female version of the Belgian comic book character Tintin. A female Tintin, which has been a fantasy of mine for a long time.
Starting point is 00:16:54 Because her name's Kristen. Is that what it is? I thought maybe your name was Chris Tintin. Which would be great. Did you do the art on this? It's beautiful. Very nicely done. And I won't read what's on the back, though I find it to be hilarious. So, do the art on this? It's beautiful. Very nicely done. And I won't read what's on the back, though. I find it to be hilarious.
Starting point is 00:17:08 So you all better hope I win. No, we gotta hope you lose. Well, I know I hope I lose. Brent, who are you playing for? I'm playing for Daniel. He brought what looks like a thing you hang on a door knob. It's a do looks like a thing you hang on a door it's a door it's a it's a do not disturb door thing and uh on the front it has the marshmallow man and it says are you the key
Starting point is 00:17:32 master which is that phrase jumped out at me that question jumped out at me because it's a question that means a lot to me as somebody who wears a chastity belt every friday night and I also was intrigued by this because it's a Ghostbusters themed door thing and it even has a back that says, it says back off, well he changes to Dan, I'm a scientist, but I'm just wondering what hotel is this that has a Ghostbusters thing on it? Yeah, where is the Ghostbusters promo?
Starting point is 00:18:06 Is it a hotel? Or is it just a pack of Ghostbusters themed door hangers? The one from the movie? Is the hotel from the movie? What hotel? Some old hotel in New York? Oh, the Ghostbusters hotel. Oh. Yeah, the classic.
Starting point is 00:18:22 Ghostbusters hotel in New York. They renamed the plaza Ghostbusters in honor of the 30th anniversary of the film. I thought they named it Home Alone in New York. That's next year. Oh, okay. All right. I think that's neat.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Yeah, that any hotel has that as their door-hanging thing is cool. There was one hotel in New York that I kept it, and it's on my door at home because it just says, forget about it. I'm just like, what? Who are you playing for, Pat Francis? Well, let me see.
Starting point is 00:18:55 This is like magic. Push it. Hello, my name is Justin. It's just on. Right on his iPhone. Right there on his iPhone. This is an iPhone 6? Fucking keeping this.
Starting point is 00:19:07 I win. I was going to say, I can't think of any other reason to pick that name tag because he just put his name on his phone. I know. Like here's,
Starting point is 00:19:13 there you go, there's my name on my phone right there. This is in tribute to that Chris Evans movie about the cell phone, correct? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:21 See? Oh, there you go. Can we call his mom? Can we see that? Oh, very good. You should sign this with your Sharpie. Oh, sure. Absolutely I will. That'd be a nice thing for him to take home. If you do, just as
Starting point is 00:19:32 a dick, we just all sign the screen. There you go. Fucking Jace Justin or whatever your name is. I'm not even going to win for him now. Did you pick that because it was a cell phone? I did. Yeah. Why are you wearing a parka?
Starting point is 00:19:48 How about that is the question. I like to wear protection when I go on podcasts. I like to make sure I'm safe. The chilliest man I've ever seen. I like to be very cozy. I have a survival knife on me, too. Oh, no. There is a gentleman in the audience whose name tag did not get picked,
Starting point is 00:20:04 but he drew something, and he came all the way from the UK for the show tonight. I mean, that's not the only reason you came here. But while you're here, you might as well. If you didn't come specifically for this, you should get out. You should just be on the show all the time just you're just bringing down the law on everybody um what did you really come for to hang out and just see just say you came for this and everyone will be so happy don't you have any sense of showpersonship at all
Starting point is 00:20:41 like if it was a family death or something then that then then that would be worth relating any sense of showpersonship at all? Like, if it was a family death or something, then that would be worth relating. Right? Do you know? But just to hang out and see a whole bunch of podcasts, just say, I came to see the show. I love it so much. Let's do it again. Go ahead. Cue him up.
Starting point is 00:21:01 What's your name, by the way? Harris. Harris. Why... Oh, yeah. I saw Harris is spelled like H-A-A, by the way? Harris. Harris. Harris, why... Oh, yeah. I saw Harris is spelled like H-A-A-R-I-S. Yeah. Wow. I don't like this at all. So why are you here in the United States?
Starting point is 00:21:20 Douglas Movies. Douglas Movies is his answer. Wait. Are you saying you came just for this? Only for this. You can stay. Let me shake your hand. Sit down.
Starting point is 00:21:38 It's okay. Alright, so you know the game Last Man Stanton, and you probably, when you listen to the show you probably have names that you would want to yell out if you were here in person, suggestions for who to play the game with
Starting point is 00:21:52 so who should we use tonight? John Lithgow I don't like that one I don't know about that one I don't know that person I don't know about that one I was sure he was going to say Maggie Smith. How about somebody like Steve Buscemi or someone?
Starting point is 00:22:08 Someone who's been in like 100 movies. You know, we could just make this game last the whole podcast. You know that Lithgow's been in more movies than Buscemi, right? How many? Fuck. I would guess. Or at least as many. Oh, no, Buscemi's...
Starting point is 00:22:21 Lithgow had a running start. I love the idea that you've got a whiteboard at home where you're keeping score. He's got a tally. Lithgow versus Buscemi. Yeah, I just re-stumbled into that one thing that I just happen to have
Starting point is 00:22:35 a big dry erase board at home. Buscemi. I have fat heads of both of them on the wall on either side. Buscemi's been in more movies than anybody.
Starting point is 00:22:47 I don't think that's true. He's the top movie guy. Top movie guy. You can't come here and pick the game and the person. Yeah, you're really... I studied the whole Steve Buscemi IMDB before I got here, and I just wanted to make sure that we played with him.
Starting point is 00:23:00 You know what, Doug? The whole thing is already rigged because of her. We might as well play the game that he wants to play. I don't know who this Lithgow guy is! How about somebody like Robert De Niro? You know Buscemi, Doug? The whole thing is already rigged because of her. Yeah. We might as well play the game that he wants to play. I don't know who this Lithgow guy is. How about somebody like Robert De Niro? You know Buscemi, though? I've heard of him. Wait a minute. Really, you don't know Buscemi?
Starting point is 00:23:13 Buscemi's been in every movie. I'm kidding. Buscemi's been in every movie. So that's the idea, is we just name movies, and we're probably right. He's been in every movie. Yeah. But that way, the game should just be really long-lasting.
Starting point is 00:23:25 What about movies that they've both been in? Alright, let me think about this for a second. Buscemi and Lithgow. No, I don't... No? No? I might have to check my brand new iPhone 6 to find that out. Guys, who's Lithgow?
Starting point is 00:23:41 Last time we played it, I can't even think of one. It was Tom Hanks and that was a great... Buscemi should have shown up in This Is 40, but he didn't. Buscemi's been in everything. Except for This Is 40.
Starting point is 00:23:54 But yeah, I can't think of a Lithgow Buscemi crossover. Maybe they really hate each other. Lithgow was in This Is 40. You already gave us one. Why? You just started us off. Oh, with a Lithgow movie? This Is 40. You already gave us one. Why? You just started us off.
Starting point is 00:24:06 Oh, with the Lithgow movie? It's a freebie. Alright, Pat's next. Blowout. Yes. It's very scary in that one. Thank you. Alright, I mean... See, here's the thing. I'm going to be out real quick on this one. I think...
Starting point is 00:24:24 Isn't he in Passenger 57 or something? Here, I got a great game. For you only, Buscemi movies. Everyone else, Lithgow. Who do you want, Milana? Who do you want to, whose movies do you want to do? Tom Hanks? Oh, someone adorable, yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Okay, so she's going to do Tom Hanks. Are you cool with Lithgow? Yeah, I? Oh, someone adorable. Yeah, sure. Okay, so she's going to do Tom Hanks. Are you cool with Lithgow? Yeah, I like to play the games. Yeah, me too. I want to play the games too. I'm with By the Rules. Judge Hodgman. Cliffhanger.
Starting point is 00:24:55 All right. So wait, what was your Buscemi? How about... What? No, no. There's just so many to pick from. There's so many to pick from. Yeah, that's why. I don't even know where to start. Zero in on one. Gone with the wind. Let's just so many to pick from. There's so many to pick from. That's why.
Starting point is 00:25:05 I don't even know where to start. Zero in on one. Gone with the wind. Let's go ahead. Just run the table. All right. Let's start with New York stories. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:14 I don't even remember if you said that, but I don't care. He plays Rosanna Arquette's love interest. All right. Hodgman says cliffhanger. Yeah. Am I playing for real or for, like, girl push-ups? No, you're for real, but Tom Hanks. I'm playing for girl push-ups.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Oh. Or you're out, because you don't know any Lithgow movies. Can I say the TV show? No. What? Okay, then. Can I name a book he's written? Acting.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Acting. You've got mail. What, really? Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks, guys. Where did Lithgow do in that? The one guy I gave gummy bears to is really my support system here.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Alright, you've got mail. Good job. Thank you so much. I'm going to stick with Lithgow and go, the World According to Garp Yeah Pat I will say Feel free to switch over
Starting point is 00:26:13 to Steve Buscemi when he wants to No You gotta stay once we're in I will say Harry and the Hendersons Yes you will
Starting point is 00:26:19 A smattering of applause for the classic Okay give me another Buscemi Living in Oblivion. Okay. He's naming movies I don't even know. He couldn't say anything. No, that's a good one.
Starting point is 00:26:30 I like that movie. I don't like it. You did Garp because that was going to be my back pocket one. Oh, okay. Now I've got to go into my other back pocket. Okay. Buckaroo Banzai Across the Fifth Dimension. Oh, very nice.
Starting point is 00:26:41 You're good at everything. Can I? No, I think I'm all out of Lithgow now. Are you high-fiving me? I can do that, but I also had a question, though, too. Can I ask you a quick question? Please. I would like to compete against somebody.
Starting point is 00:26:57 Can you actually play Steve Buscemi also? You're so bossy! I'm saying do both games Both games Like Lithgow and Buscemi Okay whatever Well then you have to do Hanks too

Starting point is 00:30:14 every Coen Brothers movie. He plays John Turturro's lover who shows up. Look it up. Sure. Actually,
Starting point is 00:30:23 I watched Miller's Crossing Because Steve Buscemi was in it Oh okay So that's why you've seen Most of the Coen Brothers movies Yeah That's why you've seen all movies Exactly yeah

Starting point is 00:30:42 She's still in it No she isn't She's not? What? She said Captain Phillips. Oh, I was joking around when I said I'd accept that. Oh, okay. Oh.
Starting point is 00:30:50 All right. Well, then you should have given me a chance to really say it. That's not how Jeopardy works. Alex, just let me say what I meant to say. Which is the correct thing. Yes. I thought we were playing and bantering.
Starting point is 00:31:06 You said we were friends. On our way to being friends, I think is how I phrased it. I'm sorry? Nothing. Brent? All right, Pulp Fiction. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:31:16 He's the waiter in... I can't believe he changed the game and he's the last man standing. It doesn't seem fair. It's pretty sneaky. I just wouldn't... Yeah, sure. He went with his strengths.
Starting point is 00:31:25 It's sneaky. That's the strength of Stu Buscemi. Wait, are you still not doing John Lithgow anymore? I'm on Buscemi, Big Daddy. Alright. Billy Madison. He's in a lot of his movies too. I'll go with...
Starting point is 00:31:47 Oh, there's somebody counting down behind me that's funny I really do want to end this game anyway so I'm out One more Alright Trees Lounge I love how you're acting
Starting point is 00:31:55 like oh this is Of course Real quick John Lithgow though he was the bad guy in that Christmas movie Remember that one? It's not called
Starting point is 00:32:02 A Christmas Story Do you remember that one? You know the bad guy in the Santa Claus Santa Claus the movie that's right yeah it's true some point yeah yeah you can't win twice yeah the only thing worthwhile in that one real fun real fun playing with you Brent yeah I hope you feel real good about yourself I mean look you know John Lithgow come on you know how about we play Trivial Pursuit, but I'm going to play Cards Against Humanity? And by the way,
Starting point is 00:32:33 I've stolen all the pieces from Trivial Pursuit. And half the cards are snakes. Enjoy! Have fun with your Jenga. I brought a paddle ball. Oh, good luck with your Jenga. I brought a paddle ball. Oh, good luck with your Jenga. All right, you guys. We're going to play the Leonard Maltin game.
Starting point is 00:32:53 We're going to do it right. All right. Yes. Everybody's going to... The playing field is now leveled. There's no cheating. We'll start with... Can we play the Gene Siskel game instead?
Starting point is 00:33:04 We'll start with... I mean, if only Gene Siskel had an app. I know. That'll start with... Could we play the Gene Siskel game instead? We'll start with... If only Gene Siskel had an app. That would have been so good. That would have been perfect. Does Maltin know you only play his game because he has an app? I think so, yeah. Would he take it personally? Great.
Starting point is 00:33:19 I love how you banter with her. She also probably doesn't know that Gene Siskel is dead. What? I know that. Oh, you do? Poor guy. What a touching eulogy. He was good at the thumbs. May I reserve you for my death?
Starting point is 00:33:41 When I go, will you stand over my ashes and say, Sad. Say, aw, shucks, and then kick them off the Empire State Building? You're going to have your ceremony at the Empire State Building? Yeah, I want to take someone out with me. Okay. I want to brain someone with my urn. All right, we're going to start with Brent
Starting point is 00:34:08 and then go to Pat, Milano, John. All right, movies that Steve Buscemi was in. No, I'm just kidding. Go. And you get to pick the first category, Brent, between Celebrating Your Birthday Today, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who I think is amazing. Everybody else likes her, too.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I'm not sticking my neck out on that one. It's her birthday today, so her films, films she's in. Known for her many, many movies. She's been in a handful. Our friend Bonnie McFarlane suggested the category Drew Barrymore or Less,
Starting point is 00:34:41 which is, of course, movies that have Drew Barrymore or less, which is, of course, movies that have Drew Barrymore or Kate Hudson. Very funny. At Pat underscore Dwyer suggested science, yeah! In honor of our friend T.J. Miller saying that in Big Hero 6. And that's science fiction movies
Starting point is 00:35:02 that Leonard really liked, three stars or more. So these are Leonard that's science fiction movies that Leonard really liked. Three stars or more. So these are Leonard's favorite science fiction films. Or movies with Barrymore or Hudson. Or Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Which one of those do you like? And wait, who's picking? Brent is.
Starting point is 00:35:16 What? Because he won that last game. I didn't win. I did not win. He won the game that he rigged? I did not. I did not win. I did not win.
Starting point is 00:35:24 I did not win. I don not win. I did not win. I don't consider it. That's fine. Aren't you glad you flew in? The way most people play this game, getting to pick the category, gives them very little advantage. I just hope you come to my funeral.
Starting point is 00:35:37 He'll be the one I kick off. I'll tell you exactly where to stand on the street. Let's do Drew Barrymore or less Alright, so Drew Barrymore or Kate Hudson Is in this movie You get to pick a year as well Would you like 2008 or 2009? Alright, 2008
Starting point is 00:35:59 Okay Two and a half stars from Leonard For this movie that he says is sweet and likable I can't find a negative thing in this review and you only gave it two and a half stars
Starting point is 00:36:17 sweet and likable and yeah good work by the cast this is not a bad thing in here And, yeah, good work by the cast. It's just not a bad thing in here. He just gives it two and a half stars. And he lists a lot of names. He lists eight, 10, 12, 14, 16 names.
Starting point is 00:36:37 How many names can you get it in? How about four? He says four names, Pat. What do you think about that? four. He says four names, Pat. What do you think about that? Six. We have to take your initial four. Six, but three of them are Buscemi. Change history
Starting point is 00:37:00 and put Buscemi in this movie three times and I'll play. Do you want a challenge? I'll play. Think you can do it less, Pat, or do you want a challenge? I'll challenge. All right. Say those magic words. Brent Weinbach, name that movie. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Pat, say those words. Pat, say the words. Oh, Brent Weinbach, name that movie that's not a Steve Buscemi movie. Yes, sir. That's not for sure. Oh. That'd be so amazing if he actually named Steve Buscemi. All right. Steve Buscemi was in themi Here's your four names I hope he does
Starting point is 00:37:28 Nick Zanno Marguerite Moreau Michael Urie And Eddie Sotelo Oh boy And he has a middle name and quotes P-I-O-L-I-N Piolin
Starting point is 00:37:44 Oh yeah okay Eddie Piolin? Oh, yeah. Okay. That's... Eddie Piolin Sotelo. That's the giveaway. Is that the giveaway name? Yep. It's over.
Starting point is 00:37:52 No. Any idea, Brent? Miller's Crossing. Okay. That is incorrect. Point goes to Pat. This movie is called Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Wow.
Starting point is 00:38:04 Wow. Was that an animated, like they had the chihuahuas and they animated their snouts to talk? They kind of talk, yeah. They all have celebrity voices. That's why there's so many names listed. All right. I couldn't have been more happy with how that went. All right.
Starting point is 00:38:23 So Pat has a point. We're going to start with John Hodgman and then move to Milana. John gets to pick a category. Would you like cocktail? And that's movies with drinks named after them at the bar at the Arclight Cinema here in Hollywood. There are some fun movie drinks on the menu, and I put those movies in the game. Oh, that's wonderful. I live in a different city. Inherent Lice?
Starting point is 00:38:48 Nobody here has memorized the Arclight drink menu. I highly doubt that. Or even looked at it. Inherent Lice, of course, is summer camp movies, and A Reptile Dysfunction is a movie where an alligator or a crocodile
Starting point is 00:39:03 attacks someone. Oh, that one. You like that one? Yeah, yeah, yeah. A reptile dysfunction. The year is 1980. Three stars from Leonard for this movie. This has got an alligator or a crocodile in it.
Starting point is 00:39:19 He says it has a knowing screenplay. Knowing. Yeah. It has a knowing screenplay. Knowing. Yeah. He also says an actress in the movie does a hilarious self-parody. Okay. And he also says you do not want to miss the graffiti in the final scene. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:41 And then he lists. It looks like he's got about 11 names here 12 names 11 names how many stars for this movie? and it's 3 stars and if I get it
Starting point is 00:39:57 I get a point no if you get it Brent gets a point probably I mean to say does it go to Milana next? No, if you get it, Brent gets a point. Probably. I mean to say, does it go to Milana next? Yes. Okay, so he's not a factor.
Starting point is 00:40:11 So she's the one that could challenge you. Yeah, he's far from a factor in this round. He's in my head, obviously. Yes. That's the way to win right there. He could become a factor. Yeah, he's building a den in my head right now. You no longer like Steve Buscemi. Well, since this could possibly
Starting point is 00:40:27 benefit... I'm surrounded by cheaters. I have a hunch. I was offered a leg up. I did not ask for help. It was just given... Oh, the Chad thing. I forgot. I'm going to say zero names. He says zero names. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:43 You fucking better name that movie John Yeah so let's hear it What's it called My feeling is that it's alligator Your feeling is correct Alligator That's good
Starting point is 00:40:57 And you know what he did it fair and square That's been in here for months and nobody Picks it up like how many movies have crocodiles And alligators in them? I knew when you said the category, I was like, he's going to do alligator. And then I was knowing screenplay because it's screenplay by John Sayles.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Oh, so you're knowing, that's for sure. I'm sorry to give you a peek into how the mind of a fair player works. It's scary. All right, John's on the board. Apologies to Put Your Hands Together. And we'll go back to Brent once again
Starting point is 00:41:30 and then to Pat. And Brent gets a bit between Tango and Cash, which of course is movies that have a dance contest in them. LOL Cool J, which is comedies with LOL Cool J. And Minerva Dreaming suggested The Babadookie. It's a play on
Starting point is 00:41:52 the horror film that's out now called The Babadook. The Babadookie, that's horror movies that Leonard gave two stars or less. So it's horror movies that Leonard did not care for. And it's not a genre he loves to begin with. Or LL Cool J or Dance Contest. Which one would you like, Brent? Alright, let's do the horror movies that Leonard did not care for. And it's not a genre he loves to begin with. Or LL Cool J or Dance Contest.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Which one would you like, Brent? All right, let's do the horror movies. All right. You get to pick a year again. Would you like 2006, 2010, or 2011? That's an awful lot of choices for Brent. It's all random. That's very interesting.
Starting point is 00:42:27 None of them are from the 1980s, that's just where I'm stuck. And so, let's do alright, let's do 2011. Okay. Two stars from Leonard for this horror movie from 2011. He says,
Starting point is 00:42:43 there's little here to get bloody excited about because he likes to have fun with language. What a night he must have had that night. Yeah. He's like, is anybody surprised by this movie? And he lists
Starting point is 00:43:03 a lot of names. There's six, nine, eleven, fourteen, nineteen names. Yeah. And I can't really pick out any other clues other than I'll just say that it's 111 minutes long. Okay. 19 names. You're taking 19? Sure, yeah. All right. Strong opening bid, Pat. That was Milana Vaynchuk listening.
Starting point is 00:43:35 I don't know if you're listening at home. Well, I can name it in 18. He says 18 names. Definitely. Pat Francis says 18 names. Pretty sure. How much did this guy say? 19. Doesn't matter.
Starting point is 00:43:55 I would really like you to name that movie. 17 names? I don't mean to yell at you. You couldn't name the movie in 17 names? It's at eight. I don't mean to yell at you. You couldn't name the movie in 17 names? It's a tactic. But just so you know, also, he'll also win, too. He'll win if you let him try to beat it right now.
Starting point is 00:44:18 But if... Right, because he's already got a point. Right. Take a moment. But what if I get a point from this? Then what happens? That would be great. Yeah, that would be fun. But it's just, I think what everybody's trying to say is that he's getting a lot of names.
Starting point is 00:44:34 I know that 18's a lot. Hang on, everyone, just be quiet for a second, because I think she's receiving transmissions from Chad in her earwig. Yeah, yeah. Telling her what to do. Chad? Oh, Chad says 17. 17 then? Telling her what to do. Chad? Chad? Oh, Chad says 17. 17 then? Chad would know what to do. Chad, what should I do?
Starting point is 00:44:51 17? Yeah. I'm gonna do 17. 16. Wait, you said 17? How many did you say, Pat? You said 18. I said 18. 19, 18, 17. 17. Okay. And John says 16, Brett. Ay. Alright. I'm gonna Alright I want to keep the game going
Starting point is 00:45:11 I think you can do it though For the sake of keeping the game What are you trying to keep going? We need to wrap it up buddy Name it Is that alright? What do you think? You guys are my chat What do you think? Should I ask him to name it? You guys are my chat. No, 15 names?
Starting point is 00:45:26 Yeah, what do you think? What are you, dumb? He's already named one without any names. You're right, you're right. Why would you give him 15 names? 16, actually. Just try to play this game like you're trying to win it. Like, play it strategically.
Starting point is 00:45:39 All right, all right, all right. I'm going to take the next step up, which is, what did you say, 15? I said 16. 16, 15, 15. He says 14. That said 15. I said 16. 16, 15, 15. He says 14. That's 13. Yeah. Name that movie.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Let's do it. I think you can do it. All right. Chad. Sorry, Chad. It's over. It's a horror movie. I like that you said that without any help from Chad, too.
Starting point is 00:46:04 It was just like totally. Oh no he's in my head. Oh he is. Okay. You have 13 names. You've become Chad. Okay. This is a horror movie in 1996. 2011. 2011. Great. Not too long ago. And your
Starting point is 00:46:23 13 names are Brittany Robertson Shanae Grimes Marlee Shelton Kristen Bell Anna Paquin Allison Brie Adam Brody
Starting point is 00:46:36 Anthony Anderson Marielle Jaffe Eric Knudsen Lucy Hale Mary McDonald and Nico Tortorella. 13 out of 19. Those last six might be very helpful.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Don't look to Chad. Any idea? Schindler's List. No, is it not? Always a fun guess, but that's List. No, is it not? Always a fun guess, but that's incorrect. I think Leonard gave Schindler's List a little bit more than two stars. I think he gave it two and a half
Starting point is 00:47:14 and called it sweet. With great graffiti in it. Yeah. But that was a lot of names. Does anybody on the panel know it? I have no idea. Paranormal Hostel. Just what's a horror
Starting point is 00:47:34 movie where they would have a big cast where there's pretty big names that are that low on the list? I know what you did a couple summers ago. Scream. It's a Scream movie. Scream 4 is the answer. But John Hodgman
Starting point is 00:47:46 is our winner. Fair and square. I mean, yeah, for kids listening at home, the only two people that have points are the people that played it Fair and Square.
Starting point is 00:48:06 John Hodgman. And you know what? That's why I cheated is because I wanted to show that lesson. I wanted to teach that lesson, actually. I was playing the role of the bad boy. And I cheated because I want to win. So that didn't work either. But Chad's got a good shithead on the back
Starting point is 00:48:22 that I'm going to read, right? There you go. So that worked out okay. Do you have anything you'd like to plug? Are we on the back that I'm going to read right yeah there you go so that worked out okay do you have anything you'd like to plug are we going to see is Lily going to do be in a Super Bowl commercial I don't know
