Doug hates candy wrappers screaming baby-sticky scenes With 50 azod-pop or kernels in his teeth There's still not one that he won't see Because Doug loves movies Hey, hey, hey everybody! My name is Doug and I love movies! This is Doug Loves Movies. Now that was the closest to sounding like a cult that it has ever gotten.

It was just, this is Doug Loves Movies. We all love movies. Very good. Thank you for being here. I know that it's easy to make an excuse like, you know, a lot of people didn't come tonight because of the State of the Union address. But that can't possibly be true. I think it's just that you guys are the heartiest Douglas Movies fans that can get to the middle of Hollywood by 7 o'clock on a Tuesday night. And I appreciate you guys for that.

But I'm going to stop doing shows here at 7 o'clock on a Tuesday night. And I appreciate you guys for that. But I'm going to stop doing shows here at 7 o'clock on a Tuesday night. Because the afternoon 420 shows are generally always really full. And great. But you guys are in for a treat. Because it's going to be another great show. And we're coming to you once again from the

Nerd Melt showroom in the back of Meltdown Comics on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles. It's Tuesday, January 12, 2016. I think I've already said 2015 on a couple of different episodes. Like on Douglas Minis, I might have said it.

Let me see your name tags, Hollywood. I feel like you brought some good ones. Maddie's home instead of Daddy's home. Great job. Mike to the future instead of back to the future.

I've gotten pretty good at this, you guys. Figuring out what these are. I saw Anamalina on Twitter today. And your name is Alina? There you go. And dressed to will? And your name is dressed.

Oh, another Back to the Future. This is going to be a conflict. You're probably going to, like, you know, the Academy Awards when two people from the same movie are nominated, they always say that they cancel each other out, so neither of you can win. Sorry about that.

Dude, where's my Cara? Carly. Carly. Did I make that same mistake the last time you brought that? You've never brought it? I swear I've seen that one before. And this one I saw on the internet today. Jeff Proof instead of death-proof.

Instead of death-proof, it's Jeff-proof. A crash course in movies. And then you have my face sticking out of a car. So good job, Jeff. Good job, everybody. And good luck to all of you in being chosen. Let me do some Doug plugs. We're doing another Doug Loves Movies

tomorrow here in Los Angeles at the UCB Theater Franklin location at 8 o'clock. And then Doug Loves Movies is returning to the Neptune Theater in Seattle this Saturday, January 16th at 420. And we're back here

in this very space this Sunday afternoon at you know what time. Opp time, opposite probably some football. So that's probably a better excuse to skip out than Barack Obama. But I hope people show up. And I'm doing stand-up on January 30th, that's a Saturday, at LOL Comedy Club. It had to happen, I guess. Somebody had to name a club, LOL.

In San Antonio. And if lots of name tags show up at the San Antonio stand-up show, then I'll come back with the Douglas movies. Yeah, that's how I do it. It's a test. It's a test, SA. San Antonio.

The prize bag tonight is I've already forgotten where I got this fun bag from but it says cushy punch on it and it's purple and inside the bag of course is a Doug Loves Movies t-shirt a hat from

Perennial Holistic Wellness Center. Yeah, it's in East Los Angeles, so I'm sure you guys are going to stop by there often. This has got Christmas wrapping on it, but I know what's inside, and I can just tell you. It's a Poke Bowl from my friends at Poke Bowl. If you don't know what a poke bowl is then you're not listening to or watching getting dug with high and also I was on at midnight

all week last week and they give you stuff every day for coming by you know they give the guests stuff and so I'm going to re-gift this thing it's some treats from a place called cake monkey re-gift this thing. It's some treats from a place called Cake Monkey.

CakeMonkey.com I would tell you they're delicious, but I haven't. I don't eat that stuff. But they sound delicious. They're like ding-dongs, but with red velvet cupcake inside.

That's the exact reaction that's the reaction i was looking for second row guys like oh wow that does sound amazing i hope i win did you bring a name tag you can't even win that's that's the oh wow was tinged with sadness you know what it dude i'm gonna give you one of these. Yeah. Yeah, I'm just going to pull it out, but I am going to throw it at you overhand. You are in the second row. Hopefully it's one with red velvet on the inside because I made such a big deal out of the red velvet.

The label on the back is so tiny, I'm going to check and make sure. Yeah, that's what it is. It's got like raspberry on the inside. Oh, you caught it. Let's get my guests out here. Three good ones. Three of your favorites, if you know what you're doing. If you're

listening to the show properly. Yeah, please give a big warm welcome to Julian McCullough, Greg Proops, and Michael Sheen! Hooray. Greg Proops, winner of the Pete Holmes Award for speaking first. There's no actual prize involved. It's just more of an honorary thing.

And what'd you got for the prize bag, Greg? I brought a book that I found in my room. I wrote it, and it's called The Smartest Book in the World. There it is. I autographed it, and there's a kitten sticker inside. So if you can imagine the lunches. And of course, a spinoff of the successful podcast

The Smartest Man in the World. And I just want to take a moment to say if anybody's looking forward to a Doug Loves Movies book, just stop. I'm too busy watching movies to write a stupid book. But when you're the smartest man in the world, you gotta write the smartest book in the world.

So there you have it. Greg, last time I saw you was New Year's Eve or even New Year's Day. After midnight, we saw each other, but then I haven't seen you since. I know. How's the new year treating you? Well, it's been an eventful new year so far.

But I've had a good, I've done a couple gigs, and I should have a funnier answer. I've just determined that I should have a funnier answer. Well, let's do like whose line is it anyway? Okay. Say something funny about so far this year. Go. Well, so far everyone hasn't died that I love. Oh, again, tinged with sadness.

This is going to be a bittersweet episode. Mostly because Michael Sheen is here. Hi, Doug. One of the greatest actors to ever appear on Doug Loves Movies. And easily my favorite of all the acting Sheens. Thanks. That's a compliment. It is. Martin Sheen's a compliment because Martin Sheen's a great actor.

He is. And then he's got a couple of kids. Yeah. I once met the guy who was his driver on Apocalypse Now in the Philippines and he's the guy who picked him up after the scene

where he got drunk and smashed the mirror and was covered in blood, and he still has the T-shirt with Martin Sheen's blood on it. Wow. Yeah. Pretty sweet item. Thanks. And it's in this bag.

Oh! What'd you bring for the bag? Ah, no. All right. I know in past shows, I've gone a bit far. You brought too much, and it looks like tonight you've continued the tradition.

I know, I'm fooling you. Here comes Santa Claus. Okay, there's just one big box, and then two little things. Okay. The big box is a pair of American size nine women's Uggs. That is a sweet pair of motorcycle boot Uggs. Yeah, those are nice Uggs.

They were supposed to be for Sarah. They didn't fit her. So someone is going to get those. They were too big, right and they were too big right they were too big okay good and then also a book of

of Pixar's the artwork for Inside Out that's really nice yeah and the art for the good dinosaur wow

I should have I should have done it the other way around shouldn't I the good dinosaur and Inside Out Yeah it would have been more of a build But also I appreciate you not stealing stuff

From Meltdown Comics and then bringing it in here And claiming that it's part of the prize bank Well you know I like to I put some effort into my gifts That is really great thank you so much Yeah this is going to be Probably the heaviest win Yeah

Of all time. Two heavy books and some Uggs. Oh, and they're also Japanese size 26. I noticed on the box. Who knows their Japanese size? You are? Uh-oh. Please God, you win tonight.

Now somebody has to pick a Nomalina. Don't let those Uggs have died in vain. And also here with us tonight is Julian McCullough, everybody. Hello. Hello. Who, we can make it official now, because there's a date on the calendar and everything, is going to be the host of an attempt at a spinoff of this show.

We all have a let's see how it goes attitude. But Julian is going to be hosting on February 2nd at UCB, the Franklin location, where we also do Doug Loves Movies a lot, like Tomorrow Night, for instance. But he's going to be there on February 2nd. What time? It's pretty late. 11 p.m.

11 p.m. That's when rock and roll happens. That's when it happens. Julian Loves Music, the first ever taping, will be at UCB on Tuesday. Is it Tuesday? Does that count as ticket sales that they clapped? Yeah.

That means they're all going to be there? They're in. Good. February 2nd is what day of the week? Tuesday, 11 p.m. So I can actually pick out of the audience which of you can probably make it. Jeff's gonna be there.

But, because he's got a car. It's gonna be like, you know, he's obviously gonna bring his own spin to everything and it's gonna be about music instead of movies but it's gonna be essentially attempting to sort of see how the same format works uh about movies instead of music because would you say you love music as much as i love movies at least and uh and style wise i'm a little meaner so we'll see how that goes you're meaner than me? are you mean?

I can be I haven't noticed just yell out Amy Adams sometimes see what happens I have my moments but that'll be interesting to see how you do with hosting it

I'm very excited if you are meaner I mean I've been I've been doing comedy for a long time and you know you have projects here and there you do with uh hosting it i'm very excited i don't get it i mean i've been i've been uh doing comedy for a long time and uh you know you have projects here and there you know and a lot of stuff you just do for money here and there this is like probably the most excited i've been in five years to do anything so i'm really looking forward to it yeah i can't believe that uh you

know it's taken this long for somebody to go let's just do the same format too i can't believe different thing nobody thought to just rip you off. I'm happy to. Well, yeah, you could have just stole it, but he came to me, so I'm going to be involved. I'll be a guest eventually. Maybe not on the first episode. And also, are you going to take my approach of keeping the guests a secret, or do

you want to tell people ahead of time who they're going to be? I think the first few, I'm going to use the guests' names to get people to come. That's what they always say. And then for the rest of the time, you'll have to tell people who the guests are going to be. Oh, really? Because you've already opened up that can of worms. You know what?

Fuck it. They're a secret. They're a secret now. Well, now I've got to warn you that that first show is going to be empty. It took a few years to build up Doug Loves Movies. Yeah. Hopefully we'll get yours going stronger right out of the gate. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm trying to bypass that through your hard work. I want to do one in the same format that's about coats of arms. Would that work? Michael loves coats of arms. That's a winner. It'll be better as a logo than spoken, because it'll just be Michael and a heart and a coat of arms. That's a winner. It'll be better as a logo than spoken because it'll just be Michael and a heart and a coat of arms.

But I love that premise. That's good. And then you can ask questions about coats of arms. Games. Yep. You can ask people what their favorite coat of arms is. You can ask what coats of arms they've seen recently. Yes.

That they enjoy. Well, your favorite one. Yeah, what's your favorite? What's a good coat of arms they've seen recently Yes That they enjoy Well, your favorite one Yeah, what's your favorite? What's a good coat of arms you've seen recently? Well, I saw one that, you know A sky blue field and a wild boar And it had some Latin on it But I lost interest about halfway through

I thought it should have ended stronger Oh my god, I just got the news And I didn't even look at my phone Huh? Michael Loves Coats of Arms has been cancelled already Oh my God, I just got the news. And I didn't even look at my phone. Huh? Michael Loves Coats of Arms has been canceled already. Oh my gosh! It's already not a thing. Oh man, that is heartbreaking.

Nobody gave it a chance. The man squished it. Fuck the man. Michael Loves Fucking the Man. That's a terrible logo. It's so specific. Just the one. What do you got for the prize bag, Julian?

Well, for a couple of reasons. I have brought the ultimate collection of Hank Williams on CD. It's two discs. The first reason is his biopic is coming out fairly soon. It was supposed to come out in November, and now they pushed it, I think, to March. Tom Hiddleston is going to play Hank Williams. He's British.

Always a good sign when they push a film. Oh, I know, yeah. Always a good sign. It's so good, we want to wait a bit longer. Well, November was too soon after Hank's death. Ah, right. So they decided to make it a more respectable date. Tom Hiddleston, people were mad when they found out

a British guy was playing Hank Williams. Like, movies are always real. You know what I mean? Like, Jaws was also not a real shark. What? And then the other reason I'm bringing this is because this was in my car. I'm going through a divorce.

If I listen to this anymore, I'm going to kill myself. So I'm going to give this to other people. Oh, all right. That's sweet. If you love me half as much as I love you. All right, Greg. You want me to break down up here? It's not...

No, I don't. Let's bring back coats of arms. That was funner to talk about. All of this is going to be someone's tonight but we'll get to that in a little bit i also want to ask you about julian loves music should we tell people for the february 2nd show to bring are they going to bring name tags is there going to be the same kind of participation ideally i would like to do everything the same maybe like bring an album the same. Maybe like bring an album. It's an album cover.

Bring an album cover that you could somehow work your own name into. Yeah. Or just add your name to an album cover. Yes, exactly. And bring it. And then the guests, even more so than on my show, I think album covers, everyone could just pick an album that they really love. Absolutely. And then put their name.

Like, for example, what is your name, sir? Yeah, you. William. William? Yeah. Absolutely. You know, and then put the name, like for example, what is your name, sir? Yeah. You William. Yeah. So, you know, what you did today, you did,

uh, dress to will dress to will. I like that. Yeah. Uh, so you would be Willem all by Metallica. And then that would be a good, I would do a Britney Spears proofs.

I did it again. That's good. Sounds like I just sold another ticket to Julian Love's movies, and Greg Proops will be in the audience. Pick me. If you make a parody album cover that says Proops, I Did It Again,

I will make sure someone plays for you. I could do the Gap on Proops Upside Your Head. Mm-hmm. And your guests are going to be a combination... I know that album. Thank you. You're welcome.

Your guests will be, like, musicians and then also comedians. I want to do two comedians and one musician because, you know, it should be funny. And then... But then also,

I have the opportunity if a comedian says something dumb about music, I can get some backup from the musician to be like, you really are officially stupid. Makes sense. Yeah. So.

I like it. I hope the musicians you get aren't too snobby because if I come on with a snobby musician. Right. They're going to make fun of my taste in music. Well, I mean, I'm starting. Because most musicians don't listen to Frozen all day. Right. Neither do I.

I let it go. Yeah. Yeah, I guess I won't go snobby. Maybe like Stephen Malcom is from Pavement. He seems pretty chill. That was a joke. He is the biggest snob in music. I don't know.

Yeah, you're a good... It should be someone fun, right? Because it's a show that's fun. Why not? Yeah, let's do that. I heard Amazon just picked up Michael Sheen's Coat of Arms show. Wow, they grabbed it and turned it around?

Yeah, yeah. I love it. Michael. I always want to have one comedian, one night. And one wild boar. One night only. One night only. One night only. You should also,

your sidekick should be Mel Gibson in full Braveheart regalia. Michael, what was the last movie that you saw? The last movie I saw was, oh, I watched Sicario the other night. Seen that? You watched the screener of that? You watched the screener of that? I watched the screener of that.

I thought it was fantastic. Very intense film. Why is that not more in the conversation, as we like to say in the business? I think because it's such a genre straddler,

I think, because... Which picture? It's called Sicario. Sicario. It means hitman. Got that Phil Collins soundtrack going for it.

It means hitman and drug dealer. Yeah. Ah. Yeah. It means hitman and drug dealer. It's fantastic. Henry Blunt, Benicio Del Toro. Oh, yes. Fantastic. Oh, yeah, I saw the preview for it the other day. Now that you mention it.

And it's directed by this guy, Denis Villeneuve, who is brilliant. And if anyone hasn't seen the film The Double that Denis Villeneuve directed with Jake Gyllenhaal, I would, Enemy, sorry, not The Double, Enemy, which is fantastic. I love that movie. And it's not a big budget, it's a smaller budget, but it's really, really interesting film. Can I, I have a question real quick.

You said The Double. Yes. And then he knew you were talking about a movie that didn't even sound like The Double. I know. How did that happen? It's based on a book called The Double. You guys. We're so many moves further along than anybody else here.

There's like a movie called The Double with Jesse Eisenberg, I think. Yeah. Which is a trailer on the DVD for Enemy. But let's not go there. Oh, so confusing. Jesus Christ. This is a wormhole. We'll be making jokes about the guy from Pavement soon. Let's not go that way.

The thing I think that confused people about Sicario, it certainly worked that way for me, is that Emily Blunt was just anointed an action star by being in Edge of Tomorrow. She's so great at that. Awesome. It just sort of felt like that's where she was headed. And in Sicario, she's badass, but she's where she was headed and in Sicario she's badass but she's also kind of confused

and scared a lot of the time and the movie also it doesn't play exactly like a straightforward drama about a horrible situation in Mexico or an action film about it. It does both and it does them so well

that I think people kind of walk out of it just not even knowing what they experience, and I think it'll get more, people will like it more as time goes by. I hope so, because it's a fantastic film. It's got so many great scenes. It's got a brilliant opening. It's one of the best openings I've seen this year.

Yeah, but it's cool the way the whole thing's put together, but I just don't think it's like the popcorn movie anybody expected it to be, and also not the message movie they expected it to be and also not the message movie they expect to be like you're in a great movie that's like more message than popcorn that killed the messenger but it's also kind of on the bubble there where it's got elements of both where it's like kind of a traditional thriller but also it's telling a a crazy crazily serious and and ultimately upsetting story. And also,

there's such a massive glut of films that all come out around the same time of the year. And then they... But you know, Sicario ends with a hopelessness. You know, no matter what you think of it,

at the end of it, you're like, well, Juarez is just a mess. That's not going to get fixed. Yeah, that's true. You know? And so you just sort of, you're not going to run to your friends

and go, you've got to fucking see this movie! No. You go, we can do of, you're not going to run to your friends and go, you got to fucking see this movie. No. You go, we can do drugs. It's never going to stop. We might as well do these drugs. Well, there's the good news. Yeah.

Hopelessness? What are you talking about? Greg, what was the last cinema or home viewing experience you had? I was on a plane back from Chicago, and I watched a very, very funny movie. It just won Best Comedy at the Golden Globes. The Martian. Please, guys., very funny movie. It just won Best Comedy at the Golden Globes. It's called The Martian.

Please, if you even bring it up, I start laughing, and I can't concentrate. It ruins my day, because there's nothing funnier than The Martian. I spilled my complimentary water during the movie, because I was on a plane, as I said. So funny. I don't know if you remember a movie from the 60s with Don Knotts called The Reluctant Astronaut, but this had a lot of the same jokes. Yeah, yeah, very similar.

You know, how do you eat the food? And like, what do you do if you're dying? And I just, oh, by the way, disco's still bad. That's a joke in the movie. Evidently for white guys, they're never going to give it up over disco. White guys are still angry that gay people and black people had a voice in our culture at any point,

that women liked music of a certain kind. And that's one of the hilarious gags in the movie. I haven't seen The Martian. Is it as funny as The Jetsons? Oh, definitely. Really? Not as funny as the episode where the rock star comes on and sings Eep Ork Okck or whatever that one is.

Not a classic Judy Jetson episode. Yeah, I think the hallmark of comedy is a lot of meetings in rooms. One guy by himself. Oh. I mean, just think back to Castaway and what a laugh riot that was. The hopeless diary of someone endlessly marooned. Where does the laughter not fucking kick in, is what I want to know. It's so fun that his five friends all decided to ignore their families and their lives in general

to spend another year and a half in space to go save the one guy who knew what he was getting into when he went out there. Sure. And that meeting where they decide to spend another year and a half in space takes all of a minute in the movie. I'm in. Let's do this. Let's do this. Let's sit around for another year and a half in space takes all of a minute in the movie. I'm in. Let's do this. Let's do this.

Let's sit around for another year and a half. What do you guys want to do now? Parcheesi? Right. The way you guys are talking about this thing, it sounds like it's not funny. The Hollywood foreign press has a very funny sense of humor. There's a lot of very eminent reporters from the Balkans. Sarajevo?

Is that still a place? No, no. Seriously. Sean Penn voted as soon as he was done talking El Chapo. Yeah. and Sarajevo is that still a place no no seriously the Mononet Sean Penn voted as soon as he was done talking El Chapo yeah

it's a real fun crowd that knows comedy over there that one really yeah it's a laugh riot well I'll tell you it's funnier than Joy

I'll give it that of another movie that was nominated for best musical or comedy it's a scam and it's you know we're on to you and of another movie that was nominated for Best Musical or Comedy. It's a scam. And it's, you know, we're on to you.

Hollywood foreign press. And we're going to do nothing about it because it's just going to keep happening that way because it's a great sneaky way to get an award for a movie that's not as heavy as an award-winning movie generally tends to be. Right. Also, we don't want Ricky Gervais to not do that anymore.

He needs, that's a great job. If he did it every year, I'd be so happy just because, but at the same time, as much as I loved it, I also was like, wow,

that guy, he really is, just does not, he's not afraid. Did we hear whether Mel Gibson beat the shit out of him backstage? Did any, I mean, genuinely, was there anything? No, I heard what he said to Mel Gibson beat the shit out of him backstage? Did any, I mean, genuinely.

No, but I heard what he said to Mel Gibson, that with this stupid censorship, they can't just figure out, they can't bleep out words. Yeah, they bleep out a tire. They have to bleep out the whole fucking sentence. Because if we could have at least gotten the gist of it, it would have been more fun to know that that's what he said. Because he said, what the fuck do the sugar tits mean?

Which, you know, I've been thinking that since day one of the whole Mel Gibson. Could you not tell? It's pretty obvious. Could you not tell that he said that? I read his... Oh, you could read his lips? And I'm untrained.

It just went by. Every time that the sound would drop out for a whole sentence, it was so startling that they were doing it that way that I didn't get my read-the-lips eyes on. Right. But yeah, I guess I could have maybe figured it out. What did Mel say back to him?

I forget. I'll tell you later. It's hard to read Ricky Gervais' lips because you're worried that his vampire teeth are going to sink into your neck at any moment. What's the question, Julian? What did Mel Gibson say back to him? What was his comeback?

Oh, his comeback was, doesn't he just go, ah, get out of here or something like that? I think he threatened his life, but whatever. At one point he goes, he was grabbing his beer back. He says, oh, you don't need to take that back because I'll put you to sleep some other way,

you son of a bitch. That's what it was. You son of a bitch. He's one of those old school guys that's still calling people a son of a bitch while wearing tuxedos on a nationally broadcast award show. You dirty bastard. Yeah. You so-and-so. But he, I gotta tell you, I'll give

Mel Gibson one thing. I didn't think it was funny, but he got a big laugh off of that colonoscopy line. The crowd in the theater was like we like no Gibson again I did not expect that I thought they would have cold-shouldered him like what happened there was that one year where like Nick Nolte and a few people sat on their hands because they gave an award to who's the guy that really because he named names right they're still mad at him about it. It was Amy Madigan and Ed Harris,

and they wouldn't applaud for him, which seemed a little much after the fact, but there you are. Plus, the Golden Globes, every time they cut to the audience, they're not applauding for people. They're all just getting drunk and talking amongst themselves,

and not, you know, especially if their categories pass, they don't even care anymore. Have you gone to that thing, Michael? I have. How did that work out? It was terrible. Who hosted?

I have no idea. It was four hours long. I think it must have been Tina and Amy, I guess. Oh, is that recent? Was it? It was just a few years ago. No, they were great. And you were nominated for something or just hanging out?

I was nominated for Masters of Sex, yeah. Oh, there you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you were at one of the TV tables in the back. No, we were quite close to the front, actually. Because isn't it funny, though? A lot of the TV people, when they win, it takes 10 minutes for them to get to the stage.

Yeah. Because they're a little pushback. But Katy Perry gets the best seat because she doesn't have anything to do with anything. Channing Tatum. Yeah. Channing Tatum was so close, he could nip back and get his thing and then come back up again.

That's how close he was. Michael, I just got to say that it's so weird seeing you in person because your billboard was on the corner of my street for so long, and it was just your head and the word sex next to it. So every day, waiting to turn left, I would just stare at your face and the word sex. Did you not notice my eyes watching yeah I was like is that a question or a statement was the light long enough you didn't knock one out I

got up to three per red light or you should see it I was on a Nickelodeon show with Kiki Palmer. Oh, yeah. About five years ago called True Jackson, yeah. Wow. And then, of course, I see her now

and she's a grown lady. When I was working with her, she was a kid. Yeah, she was amazing. She never knew my name. Really? Yeah. Fantastic.

Even to this day, she'll go, hey, Dr. Masters. She has no idea what my actual name is. She thinks you're a doctor. Yeah. That's better. Kiki stays in character. That's all that was. Masters. She has no idea what my actual name is. She thinks you're a doctor. Yeah.

That's better. Kiki stays in character. That's all that was. Yeah. Hey, Dr. Masters. Every time I ever talk to anybody from the show, I'm always like, it's me, Mr. Madigan. I actually say my character name to them, and then she's like, oh, Mr. Madigan.

Oh, hi, Mr. Madigan. Maybe she only knows people by their character names. I think that is true. Julian. Yes. It's your turn. It's true. Julian?

Yes? It's your turn. For your Kiki Palmer story. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, man. So one time, we got stranded on the five, and we had to hitchhike. And I was like, you put your leg out there and see what we can get.

And who is this person? When Greg said the Kiki Palmer thing the first time, I was like, that is quite a non sequitur. Yeah. But she was on Masters of Sex. Okay. She's an actress.

No, I know. I put it together. She's on Scream Queens now. Oh, Scream Queens. I haven't seen that. Isn't that show, don't they kill somebody constantly on that show?

I would hope so. It's called Scream Queens. Otherwise, it would just be vaguely interested queens. But I think they really pump up the cast with a bunch of famous faces that they could just kill.

You'll think he'll Columbo. Oh, right. Yeah. No, Julian, what was the last movie you saw? Oh, gosh.

What did I just see? I just saw, well, no, the last movie I saw, well, we talked about this at Golden Globes, but I guess we i can talk about here because they're different listeners yeah i was dining with doug and karen and this is the revenue there's not a lot of crossover you saw revenue and uh it's the i'd like to say that it's the most like tremendous visceral

experience i've had watching a movie in a long time and that was just the fucking screener i can't wait to see it again in the theater. Dude, yeah, on the big screen. I mean, I have a decent TV. I do podcasts. I hear that. I hear that, that people put it on their widescreen TVs now, so it does feel

a little bit more like a movie. I really want to see this on a big screen, but I can't stop watching it now. It's just so intense. That opening battle is unreal. I can't believe it's real. I can't stop watching it now. It's so, it's just so that opening battle is unreal. I can't believe it's real. I can't believe a movie can win best picture in an award show and it hasn't opened yet.

Yeah. Has anybody here seen it? Yeah. Yeah. Well in LA it's been open, but the rest of the country got it, uh, gets it Friday or they got it last Friday.

They got last Friday. Oh, okay. So it was open now, but, uh, man, we were talking about this.

The trailer ruins that movie more than I've seen a trailer ruin a movie in a long time. Trailers ruin movies in general. I've been begging people to not watch a second of any promotional footage of the movie Room because part of the fun of the movie Room is not fun. It's a serious movie. But part of what's great about it is the you know the the twists in the plot that they handily just give to you in the trailer really they give it away in the trailer that is it's like why go to the work of making a movie anymore i don't know well they have different people

they're just trying so hard to protect their investments yeah you know that they and also most people want to see the whole movie in the trailer unfortunately because that's how dumb people are yeah is that like when they do polls and they ask people how do you feel about spoilers most people don't care. The trouble is the people who care about spoilers are so in your fucking face about it. Like just

one of my guests on a Douglas movies They're like vegans. It was like a week after Star Wars came out one of my guests made a joke of a spoiler and got so much heat on Twitter. I remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, just for making a joke because people are so the people that care, care so

much. Yeah. And then everyone else doesn't care. So it's a weird. Surely Star Wars doesn't have a baffling conclusion. I mean It's not about the conclusion. Oh. I mean, this podcast has gotten people mad at it for mentioning the first weekend

that Jason Statham appears in the final scene in Fast and Furious, whatever number that is. They were mad about that? Seven. Yeah. And I was like, you can't be mad about that we just mentioned some dumb cameo that happens. Yeah.

So people were mad that Force Awakens ends up taking place entirely in a snow globe? They were so mad and I was like, I'm helping you because now when you go back and watch it, you can look for all the clues.

Yeah. Like there's lots of scenes where you can clearly see some acrylic in the sky. But the Revenant was just amazing. Are you saying Revenant? How do you say it?

What is it, by the way? Michael, you're foreign. What's Revenant? Did you only see it in French? What does it mean? What does that word mean? The Revenant. Well, the definite...

Is it in your book? It looks super smart. Is it in your book or something similar? Revenant is colloquialism. Oh! I actually don't know what it means. I'm sure it means, I don't know. But I am going to call it revenant from now on.

Because of you. Well, after you see such a glorious movie, you have to pronounce it revenant. I saw revenant with my great aunts. But I can't tell you how much we enjoyed ourselves. And then we had corned beef at Conter's Deli.

I believe it means stool pigeon. Well, now you're just being a silly cont. I believe it means stool pigeon in drug speak. Ah. Oh, yeah, because that movie had a lot of drug dealing going on. Yeah. It's a really intense experience, that movie. And it's not funny that you brought it up but perfect that you

did because since leonardo caprio just won i believe um his second or third golden globe i don't i think he's won the golden globes before but he still doesn't have that elusive oscar now do you think it's gonna happen this time i think that uh he's probably I think he's going to win. Yes. Short answer. I also think and I hate to refer to something you've said in private, but I think it won't be because of the movie itself. I think it'll be because the movie's amazing, but his performance.

We were making love when I told you that. Under the billboard of Michael Sheen. When you finished, you just had your hand on my face in the mud like at the end of the bear scene. Spoiler, dude!

Well, that's the problem. Nobody in America has seen that movie yet and everyone in America knows that Leonardo DiCaprio makes love to a bear in that movie. Well, he gets raped

by a bear. Did I misinterpret that scene? What happens in a lot of rape cases is he never presses charges yeah don't do that you guys you gotta press charges yeah even if it's a bear

yeah but I want to play a game we play on the show sometimes it's not really a game it's more like just sharing of our opinions because I do think that he might finally win a career Oscar for The Revenant. That's what it's called, a career Oscar.

Yeah, that's what Paul Newman got for Color of Money. Right, and Pacino for Sensible Woman. Yeah, just like, hoo-ah! So it's not always their best performance. It gets them the Oscar eventually when they've been nominated a bunch of times. But on the other hand, Leo is great in this movie. It's just interesting to me that he's been playing

all these characters for the last few years. Like, oh, he's going out of his way to have an accent or a physical physicality or prosthetic makeup. You know, like Edgar or whatever. And now this movie,

he just gets fucked by a bear and he's gonna get an Oscar? Yeah. Well, he, you know, I almost gave a spoiler. Well, he... The most grueling movie to shoot, probably, ever. Michael, have you ever shot anything where the whole movie takes place in winter

and you're actually out in it the whole time? I thought when we did the last Twilight movie, because there was a 20 to 25 minute scene of a battle out in the snow in fields. So when we were getting our costumes done, I decided I was going to have the warmest costume

you could possibly have. Layer upon layer of wool and cloaks and fucking jumpers and thermal stuff. And I was ready. And then we got there. And a hat. And a hat and a wig and fucking contacts. Everything was ready.

Contacts. And then it turned out we were in a studio on a soundstage for weeks and weeks and weeks doing that scene. And then it turned out we were in a studio on a soundstage for weeks and weeks and weeks doing that scene, and they just CG'd the forest in, and I was fucking boiling. Every day. I was soaking wet, and I couldn't see a fucking thing because of the contact lenses. It was the night,

the worst shoot ever. And they made the snow out of this sort of synthetic stuff, so it was flying around in the air all the time, and I had these massive contacts in, so constantly people having to pour stuff into my eyes because this stuff was gluing up in my man and everyone started coughing because they had this stuff going in their lungs it was all right man you know who feels really bad for you right now are plumbers that are listening to this podcast yeah that's but that does sound awful yeah

because plumbers get actual shit in their eyes well that what your point sucks to be a plumber more than an actor but that does sound horrible i don't mean to be i he hates me now well speaking of hate we're going to play a game of nice segue love speaking of hate well it does have the word hate in it yeah you'll see love like Hate-like is the name of this game. And we are each going to take turns naming motion pictures by a particular performer that we first love. You know, give some love first. And then like.

Just like it. Then hate. Not a fan. And hate yourself for liking. And we're going to do the films of Leonardo DiCaprio. All right. Yeah. And we'll start with Michael.

And you can pass on one of the rounds if you want. If you don't want to say that you hate, I don't know if anybody up here wants to work with Leo or anything. Or if he listens to you. There's no way he listens. Hey, 22-year-old, while I fuck you, can we listen to a podcast? Is it about loving the film or loving his performance?

It could be both, but I'd say the film, you know? Well, all right, I'm going to say love, and not so much the film, but his performance in What's Eating Gilbert Grape I mean when I saw him in that I just couldn't believe it yeah who did he

lose to that year cause he got a nomination for supporting actor and didn't win oh did he but he was terrific in it I think he lost

to Lady Gaga good right away that year was that like 94 yeah it was 20 years ago he was a kid in that one. Is Lady Gaga good in that show?

My friends said she's amazing. because there's an international Ford press and they're just like, oh, Gaga's an international star.

Yeah. Let's give it to her. Because no one else from the show was even nominated for acting awards and much of amazing actors are on that show.

Dennis O'Hare and what's her name? Angela Bassett. Sarah Paulson. Kathy Bates, yeah. Yeah, they put great actors in that show. Dennis O'Hare and what's her name? Angela Bassett. Sarah Paulson. Kathy Bates. They put great actors in that thing. It was a career globe for all of Lady Gaga's acting work. A career globe.

Yeah, it's almost like, here you go. Now you can stop acting. Go back to making music. You made a terrific long speech that the orchestra didn't ever try to interrupt. As soon as she sounded like she was wrapping up, then they came in. Movie stars and

filmmakers got the fucking music interrupt during their speech. Lady Gaga is better than all of us. Greg, which one DiCaprio movie do you love? Love? Yeah. If you have to. You can pass. No, have to. You can pass. No, I'm not going to pass.

I'd say The Beach. Like, that movie is. You don't want to save that for like or hate yourself for liking? Well, there's some that I hate. When we're getting to hate, I got a few. Okay, good. But you love The Beach.

I don't think the movie's a masterpiece, but I love postcard movies, and I love pot, and it combines both those things. It just gets, falls apart as it goes. Oh, there's no plot whatsoever. Like, if it was a whole movie about shooting each other with super soakers

on scooters, I would be all over it. Right. You mean Spring Breakers? Yeah. Spring Breakers. Nobody remembers that movie? Didn't the guy who wrote and directed Ex Machina

write the book The Beach? That that film is best? I bet you he did. Alex Garland? I bet you he did. The screenplay. He wrote the screenplay. There you are.

Well done. Yeah, he wrote a few screenplays. I think Danny Boyle directed that one. Danny Boyle directed it. Yeah, but no, I thought Alex Garland wrote the book.

No, wrote the screenplay of The Beach. Yeah, and he wrote, he also wrote Gattaca, I think. Could be wrong. He wrote a few things. Alex Garland wrote a few futuristic-y kind of things. There's a fantastically dated video game scene in The Beach where he pretends he's in a video game in his imagination

and he's running around in a video game. But because of when it was made, it's... I just do not remember that. It's like breakdancing scenes in 80s movies. But all of a sudden, like Johnny Dangerously or something, which is a period 30s gangster movie, they start breakdancing.

And you're like, I know when this movie was made. The 30s. Yeah. What's one that you love, Julian? Revolution Road? Is that what it's called? Wait. This is the one you love and revolution road is that what it's called wait this is the one you love and you don't know what it's called the one with kate winslet yeah revolutionary road

revolutionary road i loved that movie why what do you mean were you like i want a darker shorter madman on the big screen yeah because that's what it kind of ended up being a little bit Were you like, I want a darker, shorter Mad Men on the big screen? Yeah. Because that's what it kind of ended up being. Well, Mad Men's my favorite show of all time. Mad Men stole their thunder a little bit, I think. Mad Men is my favorite show of all time. So you nailed a reason I didn't even know why I loved that movie.

Well, it's Secretary Poole, and they're all dressed up at work, and they're having affairs with their secretary. I have a real, like, honest-to-God problem with Kate Winslet. Like, it's an issue. Like, I love her. Oh, okay. Yeah. So anyway, I just thought that acting was amazing.

I thought it was just an amazing movie. It was super depressing. Well, you know she was in a film that some people love with Leonardo DiCaprio. I don't know if you saw it. Revolutionary Road? No, it's called Titanic. Did it ring any bells?

I'm sorry, Titanica? Titanica. Alex Garland. Titanic. Titanic. My Leo movie that I love is a film called

Catch Me If You Can. Oh yeah, that's a great one. And also, I love it because of the time period. I love anything that has

sexy flight attendants. I almost said stewardesses because that's what they were called when they were all sexy. Now there's men and unsexy people and they call them flight attendants. I miss Pan Am so much.

Catch Me If You Can doesn't have any of the dissolution of marriage and abortion that Revolutionary Road has, so I don't see why... Oh, so that's your problem. You couldn't relate to it. Nor does it have to. So what's the next one?

We like something? Michael starts us off with just a movie that he just likes. It's fine. Like kind of how Greg feels about the beach. Hmm. One that I the beach. Hmm. One that I just like. Wolf on Wall Street. I didn't love it.

I didn't hate it. I liked it. That's fair. Greg? Are we doing hate? Like. Like. Like it, goddammit.

I didn't like Wolf of Wall Street. At all? Oh, no, I hated it. Hey, well, now you know what you're going to say. Yeah, planning ahead. Spoilers, spoilers. Well, you just asked me if I liked it, but I didn't like it. What are some other Leo movies?

There's the, oh, there's the gangster one. That one's all right. The Departed, he's good in that Departed? He's good in that. Yeah. He's good in that. I thought the movie fell apart, but I thought he was good. It fell aparted? I thought something departed and it was the fucking plot.

Yeah, it doesn't, it can't stand a whole... And Familia Vera or whatever her name is. Vera Farmiga? Yeah, I didn't understand that. You don't understand her in general? Like her face, you don't understand Yeah, I didn't understand that. You don't understand her in general? Like her face, you don't understand her? I didn't understand what she was doing on screen during the movie. In terms of acting.

There was three separate movies going on. There was a Jack Nicholson parody film. There was a movie where Roy Winstone, as brilliant as he is, was hopelessly miscast. And then there was another movie that had Mark Wahlberg, Alec Baldwin, and Leonardo in it. Doing a comedy. That was a terse cop movie. It was like three or four movies. That was like a mammoth, fast-talking cop thing.

Right. Because they all did these. Glengarry and Glen Cop. It was probably because they shouldn't have cast that comedy actor in it. Matt Damon. He shouldn't have. Oh, God. Yeah, that guy's so funny.

What's he doing in a drama? When you put a stand-up into a score, he's the best comedic actor right now. Don Rickles in Casino, Matt Damon in... Matt Damon could read

a phone book from Mars and I'd laugh. Oh, yeah. Jim Carrey's acceptance speech on the Golden Globes was funnier than the Martian... The funnier than The Martian The Martian in its entirety.

I mean, because The Martian's not trying that hard to be funny. It's clever at times. The dialogue's clever. The guy that wrote Angel, that TV show, he wrote The Martian movie. He also wrote Cabin in the Woods, which is a very clever fun movie. I like Drew Goddard. I'm not trying to bring him down.

I'm just trying to say martian's not a comedy which one do you like julian i like uh the man in the iron mask just kidding i thought i thought you're gonna say revolutionary road four times because you seem to have a real well i love it depending on my, and then sometimes I just like it. No, which one do I like? I like, and this is weird because it's intense, but I like basketball diaries. Writing them or watching the... I like writing my feelings about basketball. What are we talking about?

Okay. No, I like that movie. I haven't seen that in a long time, but it seemed to be somewhat stylish and kinetic, and he was good in it. Yeah. Yeah, sure. Also, okay, full disclosure, I can't really think of any other Leonardo DiCaprio movie.

Oh, actually, I'll be honest. Titanic. I like Titanic. I do like Titanic. I've watched it four times. It sinks every time. For my like, I went with Baz Luhrmann's

Romeo and Juliet. Or I should say William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet directed by Baz. I don't know why my voice went to bait register.

I just like it, Greg. I don't love it. Okay. Yeah. I mean, it's no... Maybe it's the stunning visuals and lack of coherence that make you love it.

It is, yeah. It is more visual and not too coherent. Shakespeare with guns. Who knew? But strangely, it's like up there as one of my favorite

Baz Luhrmann movies overall. I don't know why. Who made the Great Gatsby one with him? That was Luhrmann. Oh, you didn't like that old sport? Can I get you something old sport? If there's one thing that screams the Roaring Twenties to me, it's Jay-Z.

That was my favorite aspect of it. Like, I went into it thinking it's going to be Great Gatsby, but the music's going to be all modern. And then that didn't even pan out in my favor. Old Sport? How does Romeo and Juliet end? I mean, I don't want spoilers, but... It's all in a snow globe. Like Citizen Kane.

Juliet pretends to kill herself, but then she lives, and she goes to Afghanistan to work for the government. For hate, if you want to be that bold, Michael, is there a Leonardo DiCaprio movie that you want to be on record as hating? I don't know I mean I can't say I've ever hated I mean he makes

pretty good choices he's a hard worker I think he's up there with like Tom Cruise of like guys that just work very hard

I spent an entire day with him once because I did a film called Blood Diamond that he's in wait why hasn't that come up yet as a love or

say you hate it. Say you hate the movie that you're in with Leonardo DiCaprio. I hate that one. I hate that one. But I spent the entire day with him and he was very personable. Right? Yeah, lovely.

Very nice. But he told me, maybe this is... I shouldn't say this. Now you have to. He mentioned a story. He told me a story about being having to spend days and days on set

with another actor who is known for being very deep in character and never spoke to him and he said

you know when you're sitting on chairs like this in between takes and he said because the other actor was so in character that he couldn't acknowledge Leo.

Wow. Because that wouldn't be in the film. If we guess it right, will you tell us we are correct? Jonathan Lipnicki. Yes. All right, it was Jonah Hill. No, it wasn't. I think it's Daniel Day-Lewis in Gangs of New York.

I had a lovely time with Leo. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Daniel Day's overacting in the poster in that movie. He went out and got a Lincoln hat a few years too early. For my hate, I just went with Edgar. Oh, yeah. J. Edgar. Yeah.

Because he means well, but between him and Clint Eastwood, I don't know what their priorities were on that movie, but having a decent old age makeup was not one of them. I forgot I saw that movie. Are we on to hate now? having a decent old age makeup was not one of them. I forgot I saw that movie. So. Are we on to hate now? That's called repression. Oh yeah, I skipped to you Greg. What do you

hate? Wolf of Wall Street. Oh yeah. Not even the part where he's super fucked up on all those drugs and he's trying to get in it. To be honest, Leonardo's the best thing in it. The first scene with Matthew McConaughey, you think you're going to be in a different kind of movie altogether. And then it descends into this misogynistic claptrap

that I fucking couldn't even bear. And his character wasn't that winning. The thing about Goodfellas is they're all repulsive human beings, but it's so wonderfully done and so brilliantly acted that it carries the day. And Wolf of Wall Street, I thought, was like Goodfellas without the fucking script or the acting to carry the fucking day. Also, it was eight

and a half hours long. Like, make that movie 85 minutes and it might have fucking been better. But because it was, what was it, 240 or something? It was murder. It's long. It's a full three hours, I think. It was murder. Not to get off

of the subject of DiCaprio but he was great in it have you seen The Big Short no I haven't seen that yet because it covers

obviously pretty similar territory but it's funnier but at the same time also more depressing because that's what Wolf of Wall Street to me is

I'm going to skip ahead I put it on I hate myself for liking it because I think it's a lot of fun to watch but I think every time I stop and think about the story they're

telling and what horrible people, those people to me are worse than the mafia. Because they hurt more people and the people they hurt aren't other mafia members. You know what I mean? They sort of kill their own for much of the time. So, yeah. That was my hate myself for liking it you know what I mean? Like they sort of kill their own for much of the time. So yeah,

so that was my, I hate myself for liking it because for some reason, I just, Scorsese, his vibe when he's doing something modern-ish, even though there's things about it

I don't like, I just like that that happens. Like his TV show Vinyl that he's just a producer on looks terrific. Yeah, I haven't seen that. That looks really good. I should say,

it's not TV, it's HBO. So, what do we have to fill in here? Julian needs a hate. I need a hate. I don't, I mean, I don't think I hate a... You can pass. I gotta pass. It's because I can't think of one. I want to hate a movie.

You never saw Gatsby? Because it's not great. No, I didn't see it. I feel like I saw it because of the trailer a bunch, but no, I never actually saw the movie. Also, I love that book. What about Marvin's Room? What's that one?

There's no reason to hate it. Yeah, it's kind of weird. He hasn't really made crap. He puts himself into stuff, and it's not garbage usually. Nope. No? You sure? He gets a bad rap for his accents, but I'm trying to think of what movie everybody made fun of him for for his accents.

Blood Diamond. Was it Blood Diamond? Blood Diamond was a rough one, but that one I think he does a good job, but it's just hard to get used to because it's Leonardo DiCaprio's face. Yeah. Yeah. Sometimes, like, that's the crazy thing. All these actors that, you know, your Gwyneth Paltrow's and your whoever

else has done it, who do the British accent, like, the other way, it's usually, like, we're surprised that an actor turns out to be British. Like, Hugh Laurie, people are surprised. Oh, the house is British? You know, because we get it the other way. You get to know them with their American accent in their part,

and then you find out they're British. You're like Rick on Walking Dead. But, like, the other way around, some movie stars, no matter how good the accent is, everyone's going to say they're doing a shitty job because it's just weird to see that accent coming out of a very American celebrity face. You know, one of the best American actors

doing a British accent I've ever heard was when Julianna Margulies hosted SNL and she did, she was being Liz Hurley in a sketch and she, like, I was like, I couldn't believe it. And that's like magic because then I knew Julianna Margulies

from, you know, the stuff she'd done. And then you never heard her do accents. I'd never heard her do accents. She did a perfect, perfect, not just British, but like Liz Hurley British, which is very hard to do. Your British is pretty good now that I listen to it. Ah, thanks. I like when movie stars are just movie stars,

like Sean Connery, you know what I mean? Or Clark Gable. When Sean Connery plays any nationality, he never changes the... What was itri I wanted to fact well red October they did a cool thing at the beginning where they had subtitles for a couple minutes and then they went and then no subtitles anymore it's like I wish every one of those movies would do that because it drives me nuts that everyone's just standing around talking American in these foreign movies.

It's weird. This King George is a real problem. What's one you hate yourself for liking? Greg. Oh, well, I already said The Beach. I kind of hate myself for liking it. What's another Leonardo movie? I loved Gilbert Grape. I thought that was

really good. I'm trying to think of another one I saw. I don't think I can come up with one that you would hate yourself for liking because like we said

they're pretty, you know. He makes a lot of good movies. I wished I liked Gatsby enough to say that I hated myself for liking it

but I hated it so much that I hated myself for watching it. But don't you like yourself for hating it? I do. Because as you said... Now this is a Joan Jett-ian logic here.

It is. So you have to follow the syllogism here. I hate myself for loving you. Right. But the book is genius. There's a 40s version I saw two years ago at a film festival with Alan Ladd playing Gatsby. And that's a brilliant version

Then there's the one from the 70s with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. That's not very good They fuck that up perfect cat I know I know whatever You said you were gonna be mean on your music show, but you're being so gentle on this show. Am I? I think. Is there a reason you're taking out your phone? I was going to look up fucking Leonardo DiCaprio movies. We're moving on, buddy. No reason to do that.

Okay. But that was fun. We really gave it to him. Mm-hmm. And take that, Leo. Oh, and one, before we get to the game portion, one quick question for Michael Sheen, because he hasn't been on the show for a few weeks. Do you have a favorite Will Smith movie?

Ali. Tell the truth! Well, that's Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men. And terrible impersonation, by the way, Doug. That was amazing. It's just like him. It's like he's sitting right here, Jack Nicholson. Your English accent is so strong, Doug.

Yeah. You're like Julianna Margolis. Margolis. we should also say that uh you know obviously rest in peace uh david bowie who did appear in uh quite a few films do you guys have any uh movie highlights from david bowie's career i mean i people love labyrinth i love labyrinth i mean i know all the words to the entire movie really yeah go start us off how does this start i have fought my way here now uh to the beyond the go beyond the goblin guy she does a speech in the beginning can't

remember the end uh she can't remember the line. By the way, she does a whole monologue, and she always gets stuck on the line, you have no power over me, after she just read like a fucking page of monologue. That's the only plot hole in the whole movie. Everything else is perfect. Also, the dog's real at one point, and then it's a puppet later.

That's kind of jarring. Yeah, I could see in a movie like Labyrinth how you'd be jarred by some unreality. Yeah. And David Bowie's wiener is so big in that movie. And it's a kid's movie, and it's very weird. He takes it out? Yeah.

Yeah, it's a puppet. Why do you think they call him the Goblin King? I wouldn't think that would be wise. It's in the shape of a goblin, his penis. No, I love the labyrinth a lot. All right. Manifold Earth is slow. I love the really weird cameos that he pops up in,

like in Fire Walk With Me. Oh, yeah, he's great in that. Just that weird guy who turns up in the office. He's so good I forgot about that or like in Last Temptation of Christ where he's pilot

in that what? he was in that? he's pilot he turns up in these really odd that's the Mel Gibson one? he was in the pilot

for the series Last Temptation of Christ oh that I never saw Last Temptation of Christ but now I know David Bowie's in it doesn't he play

Tesla in the Prestige uh huh and um there was a movie he did called Goodnight Mr. Lawrence yep Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence and Goodbye Mr. Chips he was in Basquiat as Andy Warhol that was a good one that was a cameo

I was thinking he was one of the better he what his accent he does a terrible American accent. Oh, it's actually a terrible performance. He goes, Jean-Michel. No offense. Jean-Michel, you're a painting of anything I've painted.

My favorite Andy Warhol on screen is Crispin Glover in the Doors movie. Yeah, he's very good. Kills it. Oh, you're a beauty. Yeah, he's really funny in that part. Although Jared, what's his name in Factory Girl? Jared Harris. Oh, yeah. He's quite good as Warhol. That guy's a great actor. Yeah, he is really he's really funny in that part although Jared what's his name in factory girl Jared Harris oh yeah I get that guy's a great idea yes he's alright he could do any I think the first pure sexy of the hunger I'd pick for my David the opening scene where they're in the nightclub and they're

playing Bauhaus and him and Catherine didn't have take the people in the and drink their blood and stuff that part's's really good. I love the song Cat People from the movie of the same name, but also from Inglourious Basterds. Yeah, and in both cases, I was happy to hear it. It's great. He uses it really well in Inglourious Basterds. Yeah, it's weird how well

it works in there. He doesn't go to that in Hateful Eight, though, does he? He doesn't put any modern stuff in there, does he? No. It's all Ennio Morricone. Who wrote all the score without seeing the movie. He just wrote a bunch of music and sent it to Quentin and said, pick whatever you want.

Oh, Golden Globe winner, Ennio Morricone? You know he's Quentin Tarantino's favorite composer? Yeah, and we're talking. He said that 11,000 times in that speech. He likes him better than Jungle He goes, Bach! I like him better than Bach We watched the Golden Globes very closely

And no one else did It's time for me to say Let the games begin! Some folks brought some name tags and you guys have to pick who you're going to play for. We spent so much time yapping that we don't... The game portion is going to be pretty quick this show.

But just go physically grab the name tag you want to play for. While you do that, we'll do this. We'll be right back. Today's episode is brought to you by CISO.

laziest pun i've ever seen and um and then the i'm not even sure that the graphic he stole from the internet is from the movie. Is it? It's close, but it's like, did you do this freehand? No, anyway, and I like Mike's face. He's got kind eyes, but a scary head. That's a good contrast. I need you to do two more minutes on this name tag. Greg is, this is a great coincidence.

Wolf, I'm working for Paul. Wolf of Paul Street, he has. And in order to indicate, he's drawn a wolf, and there's a very lovely package of donuts. And they're upside down, actually. He's taped them on upside down. Oh, Paul.

Donuts are awesome, by the way. I'm not paid by donuts in any way. But if I... Is that so they can't get legally sued for calling them actual donuts? Yeah, because Joe Donut might get mad. No. Jules, it says...

You don't want the donut lobby coming after you. It says six mini donuts right underneath donut to alleviate any confusion in that regard. I think it's just that they're smaller than donuts, and anything that's smaller gets that et thing. Or they're female. They're donuts. As you would say, they're don-ets.

The donut. Anyway, donut. Donut, donut. Let's call it off. Michael? I am playing for Alina. And her picture is Charlie Kaufman's Anomalina. Yeah.

With a lovely picture of the Last Supper. I haven't watched it yet. Is that from the film? I haven't seen it. No. Okay. It's not from the film. It's not from the film.

But it's a picture of puppets at the Last Supper. With also death with a scythe. Which is a bit of a spoiler if Jesus sees that. There is one at this table who, oh no. Shit. That's not good.

Oh no, it's Matt Damon. It must be funny. Yeah. Matt Damon is Judas in. And I'm playing it for Alina because she is the one who has the right size feet for those Uggs. So I have to play for her.

Yeah, I saw that happening. I thought that was going to happen and it worked out great. And Michael's great at this game so you've practically got the Uggs on your feet already. Don't listen to him, Mike. With your

scary head. What size shoe are you? In Japan. 73. He's sitting right behind Alina just trying to intimidate her with his scary head. Alina's man's got her covered, though.

Yeah. I assume. Or it's a first date, and he just made the move. Or he doesn't know her, and we're watching sexual abuse playing itself out. Or they're brother and sister, and this is freakier than we even imagined. All right, we have a dumb new game that we play

to determine who's going to go first and probably the only game we'll have time for tonight. We'll play one game after this, but to pick a person to go first, we're going to play Live, Die, Repeat, a.k.a. Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang, a.k.a. people send me a million suggestions for what this should be called,

but it's the dumbest game ever created. I'm going to say the name of a movie, whichever one of you repeats it back the fastest is the winner. I don't understand the rules,

so I'm just going to play along when it happens and hope that I can figure it out. It's insulting in its lack of skill. No, but there strangely is a skill to it. Because you have to hear what I say and say it back faster than the other people. Yes, I understand the premise. Yeah.

And I stand by my original assertion. No, you... You have to have powers of cognition to be able to do this game. because I understand the premise and I stand by my original assertion. You have to have powers of cognition to be able to do this game. You have to be able to hear something and then repeat it back much as if you were a parrot or something. You just have to be an object that can bounce sound waves back. That's all you need. You don't even have to be sentient. I just got tired of these games where

my guests don't know any of the answers. So I thought, how about a game where I give you the answer and then we see what happens? Why don't you just close your eyes and pick one of us? Oh, that's a good idea. Somebody come over and spin me.

He'd have to have his eyes open first. Okay, you guys ready? Sure. Julian, you got a chance up? Oh, right, yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry. You were just staring at a name tag that has four words on it. I'm practicing

in case your movie is Mike to the Future. No, it's my pregame ritual. I was praying for Mike. All right, here we go. Ready? Mike. Mike to the Future.

Or Clayton. Michael Clayton. Michael Clayton. He said it twice before anybody else. They didn't even, they weren't even gonna play. And I got so excited, I stood up. We're doing an Elia Kazan. We're both sitting on our hands.

Well done, Jules. I got so excited to win the dumb game. That was amazing you knew that answer. I was like, this is for dumb people? I'm gonna crush it. You're welcome, Julian. Thank you. Thank you guys, by the way.

Now we're gonna play Last Man Stanton. And in this game, we have a new wrinkle that I could not be more excited about. The people whose name tags you chose are your lifeline that you can go to once in this game to help you out with an answer. Yeah. So, Alina and Mike and...

Paul. Paul. Get ready. Because you're... Paul. Paul. Get ready. Because you're... Michael Clayton. Whoever... Michael Clayton. Might come to you.

The last man stand is where we get a name of actor or actress from someone in the audience. And people tweet at me that they have great suggestions for this. And all the way from Chicago,

our friend with the Jeff Proof sign over there, JGKline23 on Twitter, says he has a great last man stand name. He also has all of his luggage with him tonight. What are you in town for? Just meetings. Meetings. Yeah, and you just snuck out of your meetings,

come see a little... Oh, straight from the airport? Delayed, yeah. You were delayed and then you in town for? Just meetings. Meetings. Yeah, and you just snuck out of your meetings, come see a little... Oh, straight from the airport? I was delayed, yeah. You were delayed, and then you still made it? Yep. Because you're Jeff-proof. And who is your suggestion for... Thanks for being here, and who would you like to suggest?

Robert Downey Jr. Robert Downey Jr. Put your phone away, Julian. Sorry. I know you got a kid or whatever, but... She made it out of the burning building, so if everything's fine. Oh, okay, good.

All right, we're going to Robert Downey Jr. This is... I like to play along, of course. Whichever one of you guys lasts longest that's not me will be our winner tonight. And we start with Julian. Okay.

And then I'll go next. Or we'll go I'll go forth because that's that's only fair what do you got any Robert Downey Jr. performance the judge motion picture the judge very good Greg kiss kiss bang bang yeah we already mentioned it Terrific movie That's a great picture That's so It's so good I'm gonna watch it again You think I'm stupid don't you Yes I think you're stupid

Who would have thought Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr. Would make such a great team Oh god they're fantastic Why haven't they re-teamed I know that's why I wanted to

Are they like crazy magnets And they can't get together Michael Iron Man What I thought you said I thought you said I am out Are they like crazy magnets and they can't get together? Michael? Iron Man. What? I thought you said I am out. I got to tap out.

All right, so you're going Iron Man. So let's have a little fun with this. I'll go Iron Man 2. Whoa. I don't know if he did both. Less than zero. Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah, that's a goodie.

That's a good one. Oh, you like that? It's an autobiography of Robert Downey Jr. The only thing I like about it is the Bangles cover of Hazy Shade of Winter. It's one of my favorite covers ever. That's great. Greg? Is he in Restoration?

Huh? Is that how we're going to play this? We're two movies in and you're guessing? All right. He is in Restoration. Thank you. Yeah, there you go. Michael?

Natural Born Killers. Oh. Oh. I like it. I'm going to blow everybody's minds with a movie where he played a cameo. I just watched it because I was watching a ton of movies last year. He has a cameo in a movie directed by Anthony Michael Hall.

Yeah, those two had enough juice at one point that he directed. They were on SNL together that one. Directed and starred in it. And Robert Downey Jr. had one scene. Judd Nelson had a scene. And the movie was called, and there's a new movie with that that the Coen brothers made coming out with the same name, Hail Caesar.

Wow. Yeah, and it was terrible. Really surprised by that. I sat down thinking I was watching an undiscovered classic. Turns out it's complete garbage. It wasn't even as good as... Chappy. Kidding. Chaplin. Chaplin.

Chaplin. Yeah, you gotta be careful. He was not Chappy. He was not Chappy. I don't know how you're gonna be as a game show host, but I take the first thing the person says. Oh. No joke. God forbid you tell a goddamn joke on this show. You're out what

i'm kidding greg all right man three yeah finally michael less than zero wait we said that already oh did, did you say that? Yeah. Remember we talked about Hazy Shade of Winter? I wasn't listening. I'm so sorry. Does that mean I'm out? No. Oh. Normally it does,

but you're Michael Sheen. Thanks. Coat of Arms. A Field of Second Guessing. Sherlock Holmes. Yeah. That first one was just Sherlock Holmes straight up, right? Yeah.

Yeah, see, I can't remember what the subtitle was on the next one, so I'm not going to take any chances with that, and I'm just going to jump to... I think I know what the second one is. Well, then you might be in business when it gets back to you. Yeah, when I get desperate. Well, the title that I'm positive about, and that Robert Downey Jr. was in it,

is a motion picture called Weird Science. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Julian? I'm torn here. Oh, you're a regular Natalie Imbruglia? Was he in a movie called Perfect Sky? It was a Natalie Imbruglia joke.

Okay. My podcast is going to go right. Because you heard how well my Natalie Imbruglia joke went over. You're like, I got to stay on this Natalie Imbruglia gravy train. Yeah. It's called Surfing the Laugh. I'm going to say... He's in so many movies.

Avengers? Does he show up in that as Iron Man? Full title. Avengers. The Avengers. Age of Ultron. It's all right. You don't have to say Marvel's The Avengers, Age of Ultron. It's all right. You don't have to say Marvel's The Avengers.

Oh, I shouldn't have to. Well, you should, but we'll move on. Greg? Scanner Darkly? A, Scanner Darkly. That was on cable every day for like four years at one point. I don't think I ever watched it all the way through. Michael?

Was he in Air America? Yes. With everybody's best friend, Mel Gibson. Supposedly, Robert Downey Jr. is one of the few Hollywood celebrities that's still friendly with Mel Gibson. He's stood by his side. Him and and I guess what's her name

still likes him? Jodie Foster. Jodie Foster, yeah. Oh, I love how you pulled that out. Jodie Foster. They were in Lethal Wagon together.

Maverick. I love that movie. Thank you everybody. Oh God, I love that movie. He's such a good card player because he gets dealt a royal flush. Like, only good card players get dealt perfect hands. Don't you remember he thinks really hard to get it,

and then he gets it? He gets it. Yeah, he's just like, this is when I really need this hand. It's called skill. And then he gets it, and he's like, I'm Maverick. I'm getting confused now.

Who are we talking about? Robert Downey Jr. Yeah. He was in a motion picture many people enjoy. I thought it was all right. Called Soap Dish. Oh, yes.

Soap Dish. Julian. This is exciting. You guys haven't used your lifelines yet or anything. Oh, shit. Yeah, if you can't think of one, use your lifeline.

Hopefully, since my lifeline is Mike over there, hopefully Robert Downey Jr. was in a movie about Russian prisons. If you're listening at home, he looks like a Russian convict. If you're listening at home

or sitting past the third row, Julian finished that joke for you. But the rest of us love it. I have a guess, but I shouldn't guess. I should use my lifeline. So I will use my lifeline. Mike. Mike, what's the Robert Downey Jr. movie?

Charlie Bartlett. Charlie Bartlett. OK. I'm going to take your word for that. I'm taking his word for it. I mean, I can't believe he would say that if he wasn't in it

who makes up the words Charlie Bartlett the words are definitely not made up I've definitely heard of that movie I just

oh you have I don't remember if Robert Downey Jr. is in it or not oh yeah I know he starred in it or whatever it's about a kid

named Charlie Bartlett isn't it Greg a hilarious picture called the Wonder Boys in it or not. Oh, yeah, I know. He starred in it or whatever. It's about a kid named Charlie Bartlett. Isn't it? Yeah. Greg? A hilarious picture called The Wonder Boys. Yeah, with Michael Douglas, which you showed once

as part of Greg Ploops' film. I did. And Robert Downey's hysterical in it. He is. He's the gay editor. That movie's great. Yeah.

Wonder Boy! All right, Michael. I'm going to go Sherlock Holmes' Game of Shadows. I think that's right. I think that's right. I think you're correct. Game of Shadows. Okay, I'll go with Marvel's The Avengers Age of Ultron.

Why not? Why not take that one off the table? Oh, because I need it? This is my guess, and I just feel like everybody was in this movie when they were young, so I'm going to go for it. Why wouldn't he be there? Right? Yeah, he was young once. The Outsiders?

No. Damn it! Sorry, dude. Greg? Iron Man 4? Is that what we're up to? No. Yes?

No. Did we get up to 3? We did. Oh. We did. Well, I guess I'm fucked. Why? I went one Iron Man too far.

There's no Iron Man 4? Not yet, no. I thought I saw that on a plane. There's a thing where him and Captain America are going to get mad at each other and fight. But that's Captain America's movie. Iron Man just shows up mad at him and fights him. Golly.

Yeah. Michael? We're going to do this together now Alina okay you've got one she's got one go for it Doody Doody

of course the film Doody Doody Doody with our friend good one Zach Galifianakis good one co-starred in Doody

yeah great job Robert Downey Jr. was the French Bulldog in that wasn't he I'm gonna stop talking turn his mic off Yeah, great job. Robert Downey Jr. was the French bulldog in that, wasn't he? I'm going to stop talking. Turn his mic off.

All right, so I feel pretty happy with how far we've gotten. Oh, wait. Yeah, because you guys are both out. It's just me and Michael. Yep. So I'm going to go ahead and declare Michael the winner. Woo! Yeah. Yeah.

Because his lifeline came in so strong for him but you know now it's the part of the show where we were here from you guys about the ones we missed the soloist the pic oh yeah artist chef what's pick up the one where he played the black duck? Bowfinger. Tropical Thunder. Back to school. Zodiac. Zodiac. Chaplain 2, Game of Shadows.

Chaplain 3, Age of Ultron. Yeah, you could have said Iron Man 4. Home for the Holidays. Iron Man 3 he's in, of course. Home for the holidays. What's the really like... Directed by Jodie Foster. He did a real innocuous rom-com with somebody where it's like...

Only you. Only you. That's it, yes. Only you. Wow. Two guys and a girl. Two guys and a girl. Oh, he's in that?

Yeah. No, he's just looking for something to do tonight. The show's winding down, so he just thought he'd yell that out. God forbid you have an honest response on this show. See what happens. You get excited about a movie. But since Michael won the game, that means that Namalina gets the prizes. Yeah, thank God.

These are the Uggs you're looking for. Yeah, those beauties are going to look great on you. Yeah. Can you try them on right now? Please do. Make sure. Give us a little fashion show. With a little Japanese-sized 26 feet.

And where's your little thingy there with the shithead on there? Do you want the donuts, Greg? I'll take them off. Tear them off of there, yeah. My goodness, they've been adhered. They are never worn before. Completely adhered. They're a little melty.

And for the viewers at home. Oh, look at it. She's got them on. They look fabulous. Do they fit? Are they comfortable? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

Look at that. Well done. Man, yeah. Look at that. Well done. Man, there's no better night than coming home with a new pair of shoes, right? You go to a comedy show and you come home with Ugg boots. Yeah, you weren't expecting that, were you? Pretty special treat, courtesy of Michael Sheen. Be a special woolly motorbike that's outside. I live in New England, so they'll come in handy.

She lives in New England, everybody. You'll finally fit in with your friends. They're going to be like, ugh, look who's back. She'd give that to her. I don't need it, because she won all the prizes. I don't have to say a shithead for her. But I do have to ask you, Michael. Yes. You finish your work as a robot?

Yeah, finish that. Passengers. Passengers? A long time from now. What's up next? You off to shoot something else soon? Not for a little bit, but I think, when's Finding Nemo 2 should be coming out

at some point, which I'm in. You take over Ellen DeGeneres' part? Yes. And Alice in Wonderland 2 is coming out soon, which I'm the white rabbit in. And, you know,
