Sunday Bloody Sunday it's June 14th 2020 and my guests today in this Homes Alone edition are Justin Long Doug Mellard and Diallo Riddle woo

I never know what to expect after Paulo Riddle! Woo! Woo! Yay! I never know. I never know what to expect after introducing, you know, the three guests simultaneously and just leaving them to their own... Well, without an audience, what do you do? Yeah, I don't know. Like, everybody just sort of has to cheer for themselves, I guess. And I like to introduce everybody individually and alphabetically. So let's start with Justin Long is back.

Hello, Justin. Hey, Doug. You actually might be able to hear literal crickets because I'm outside and there's some crickets around chirping. Oh, yeah. I think I just heard one. Yeah. Oh, that's perfect.

That's great because, you know. It's better than being a potting for myself. It's a perfect punctuation to the kinds of jokes that you make, Justin. Exactly. It's very me. It's on brand. Yeah. How is the shutdown treating you like production's going back soon are you going to work soon um well those i don't know i've i've heard different things i

is it is i heard that soap operas are starting up um oh, so you're going to get into that game? I'm going to try that. Yeah, I'm going to get into that game. No, I don't know, Doug. I'm a little afraid of going back to work too. It seems like things are still spiking and it's still. Totally. Yeah. I don't know what to do. I also haven't technically gotten a job, so it's a moot point.

I mean, what kind of COVID- so it's a moot point I mean what kind of COVID-iot would go back to work on wait let me get near that cricket I know I don't know what about the comedy circuit I mean are they going to start a are you going to start a comedy again soon comedy clubs are opening but they're like making people,

you know, like they're only seating people together in pairs that arrive together. And, you know, you don't have to sit at a table with strangers and they're doing like much lower capacity. I just, all sorts of stuff that just to me is making the experience almost not worth having but i still i still feel like the people that really want to laugh and get out there and

the people who really want to perform uh you know it's hard it's hard to not want those things but i also feel like you know waiting another month isn't necessarily a bad thing either yeah i that's probably smart i mean what do i know but also yeah there's no pressure of and people wearing masks and there's no there's a different it might feel kind of heavy in a room like that you know um people on edge i wonder i. I watched the Dave Chappelle special. Yes. And he did a cool thing where, you know, they set it up like in a yard outside

so that people were able to be socially distant. But also, it wasn't like it was a regular riotous comedy show. Like, there weren't that many laughs. It was pretty serious. Yeah. And Gaffigan did at a drive-thru, right? He did

a show at a drive-in movie theater? Yeah. And Chappelle mentioned at the beginning how weird that would be because people honk their horns when they like to. Yeah. But I wonder if they're going to start opening up those movie theaters. You see so many old abandoned

drive-ins. It'd be really cool if that kind of that revitalized, revitalized, revitalized. Yeah. It could be, it could be a fun, you know, stop gap like thing to do in between, you know, as a, as a next stage. But I just feel like, you know, as a society, us doing less handshaking, more hand-washing, you know, as a society, us doing less handshaking, more hand washing, you know, having a vaccine, all those sort of things need to all come together. Right. To get it to be more like a, you know, hopefully more like a regular flu, which is always killing lots more people every year than it should. I just wonder what the new version of the handshake,

what the new greeting, like the generally accepted greeting will be. I'm hoping it's a very disinterested head nod. Well, people have been doing that to me for years anyway. I've gotten so good at it yeah uh thanks for being here oh thanks buddy yeah let's say hello to uh mr doug mellard is here hey doug hey dude uh just to jump in what you guys are talking about uh another point of it like a the planes i don't want to get on a bunch of planes i know and then on top of that i don't want a group of people pointed at me laughing with their modules you know shooting

at me doesn't seem fun well that's the thing is like at the chapelle show everybody in the audience had to wear masks and then not only is chapelle not wearing a mask he's smoking cigarettes he really likes to show off that he can smoke cigarettes anywhere he wants um but yeah but thanks for being here doug and uh you're still uh you're still holed up in santa fe i'm still in santa fe and it's not bad it's uh surrounded by no people and my dog gets to chase rabbits all day which is pretty great well not for the rabbits yeah i'm just here for the rabbits that's those poor rabbits that's funny i just got a bunch of chicken wire to line my garden with because the rabbits are decimating my garden.

Oh, I'll send my dog over. Oh, please. That's what I need. Exactly what I need. Yeah. You're like Donald Gleeson in those Peter Rabbit movies. They're actually pretty solid movies considering are they i've been watching them with my kids and uh i'm i'm kind of like this is not a bad movie i don't know if i'd watch it by myself that would

be sad right it's not you know you're not giving a real recommendation because your voice no no no nobody should nobody you know without children looking for something edifying should go out and watch them but i'm saying if you have children you can stomach those better than like rio the movie with the with the colorful birds you know i'm really just here to talk i'm really just here to talk kids movies so that's i love it yeah I have three children, three boys, and ten, eight, and three. Oh, wow. Yeah, so the whole spread of them. My wife is over the testosterone.

She's like, there's just too much boy energy in this house. My bad. That's the difference between my guests. Is there either childless and know nothing about kids' movies, or they have kids and they've seen every kid's movie a million i'll get high and watch kids movies it's fine is that a category i'm in that category so some of them are especially the kids movies from the 70s i feel like movies like peter's drag peter drag peter's dragon like those kind of movies they're not for kids anymore like you have to be stoned

when's the last time you saw the Dark Crystal? I saw that recently with a, like, 4-year-old, and I thought he was gonna want to turn it off. He's more defensive. But it's really intense. It's really dark. Yeah, go back and watch. I feel like Disney went through that weird phase where, like, you know, they made the black hole

and the black cauldron and Dark Crystal. There's some, like, crazy shit in that, yeah. Yeah, I just, you get the sense like in the late 70s, early 80s, there were no adults, you know, they're just people keeping the lights on in some of these studios. And the movies they were making were just not for kids. Yeah. Yeah, the whole Disney, you know,

the whole Disney brand didn't really know what to do with itself when Disney died. Yeah, yeah. And it was on shaky ground for a while there, but then they, you know, I think it was probably, wasn't it like Little Mermaid, I think was the thing. Little Mermaid brought it all back around. Yeah, they said something like when Baloo goes dancing off at the end of the Jungle Book, that's the end of the classic Disney era. And then there's like a long, almost 20-year gap where they just could not figure things out. But I did hear that famous scene in the Black Hole

where they're running across a bridge and a gigantic meteor is rolling towards them. If you remember that scene, it's kind of an iconic scene for the black hole. That is the direct inspiration for Spielberg shot of Indiana Jones running away from the boulder. Whoa. So if you know both movies,

I just really just made your Sunday. Yeah. I remember that. I remember that shot from black hole, but what was that other movie you're talking about? Indiana Raiders of the lost ark. Yeah, I don't know that one. Oh, you should check it out. It's a really cool throwback

to like 40s serials and yeah, it's really, it's a fun flick. Is that like Indiana Jones and the Temple of the Crystal? Oh, shit. Hey, can I tell you? Okay, so we're talking about kids. I put on Raiders of the Lost Ark. My kids were like, oh, that movie was great. I was like, the skeletons didn't scare you? They're like, no. I was like, let's watch talking about kids. I put on Raiders of the Lost Ark. My kids were like, oh, that movie was great. I was like, the skeletons didn't scare you?

They're like, no. I was like, let's watch Temple of Doom. I cannot get them to watch The Last Crusade. I cannot drag them to that movie. They are done. Like, one of the kids ran out of the room when the hearts were getting pulled. Like, they're scarred.

It's so dark. It's a dark film. The Last Crusade is maybe lighter than the first two. The Last Crusade is a fun romp. I can't get them to watch it. I'm like, look, it starts off Indiana Jones as a kid. It's 1912 in Utah. There's nothing scary about it.

You know how to ease them back in. You get them to watch Firewall with Harrison Ford in between. Or Young Indiana Jones. I would love to have them watch the young Indiana Jones Chronicles. I'm convinced those were actually probably really, they were ahead of their time. Like, I guarantee you,

this is an idea for anybody listening. I think that's an idea that you want to reboot. Do the Indiana Jones Chronicles now, like when TV shows are like all the money and the budget is, I think that would be a great show. That's true, yeah. If anybody even cares about that period in history anymore. I mean, like,

you know, when, when they were talking about world war II and Nazis, like that was only what, 30 years earlier, like there was still like all kinds of world war II events, watching the movies like, yeah, give them the Nazis, you know, like now you tell people about world war II, it's like, talk about Napoleon, you know, it's just, a lot of time has passed. That is, I can't believe I haven't said your name yet. That is first-time guest Diallo Riddle.

I've already said all I can say. Yeah, you've already run out of words. Emmy award-winning writer. Oh, gosh, no, I'm going to stop you. I got nominated. We have not won an Emmy have not won you didn't win for i thought there was a song that oh that was another that was another award you probably remember it doug yeah you should have nominated for an emmy and you won on another another one

of those stuff yeah um but you know yeah I just didn't want anybody to be like, man, the L is out there lying about his record. Oh, no, I'll do all the lying for you. OK, thank you. That'd be great. Lately, I've been saying I've been lying about myself. I like to call myself a J.D. Power Award winning comedian. Because I have no idea what that award is and i i figure no one else does that's cars isn't it in jd power car yeah i think so i think so yeah yeah i think it's a car thing so i don't think um well thank you all three of you for being here. Speaking of scary-ass PG-13 movies,

I just saw Drag Me to Hell again recently. Good movie. Yeah. Oscar-winning. Oscar-winning Drag Me to Hell. How many Oscars how many Oscars did it get nominated for

you know I don't think it did get any nominated maybe some technical thing maybe yeah I mean it's

it's a you know it's a stunning movie the effects are really good and it's the sound

the sound is incredible in that movie. Yeah. And it's every disgusting thing you can do done all the way up to the line where you don't cross over into a R-rated territory. R-rated. Totally. I think it is officially the grossest PG-13 movie. I remember Sam said, he said he kept referencing

Looney Tunes. You know, sir, it's like that scene when Bugs Bunny outwits the... Every reference was about Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner and Acme this. If you look at it through that lens, it makes sense. It's like

a live action cartoon. Yeah, which a kid's cartoon. Yeah. Which are really obviously violent. I love that, you know, Bruce Campbell's in like almost everything Sam Raimi does, but when this movie was being made, he was too busy with burn notice. drag me to hell i i don't want to spoil anything you know because i but i feel like that's one of those movies and this is all i'll say about the ending it's one of those movies where i remember the ending very much like you know i think there's some movies that just have really... And I think that's a good thing.

Just like a really memorable, did-not-see-that-coming ending. I remember that ending quite vividly. It's fun to watch it with somebody who hasn't seen it yet. Because you just get to see... Because also there's stuff that happens in the movie that are, that to me kind of could tip it for some viewers, you know, like they might kind of get an idea where it's headed and others never figure it out. But yeah.

Yeah, I wonder, yeah, I always wonder that. Do people see that coming at all, that turn? Yeah. yeah I always wonder that do people see that coming at all that turn yeah and that's why again like I'd like people to check it out if they haven't seen it yet so I don't want to I have not seen it I gotta check it out oh no it's okay was this a Disney film

between Black Hole and Little Mermaid it might as well have been yeah it was the one it was a movie that Sam Raimi made. I think it was right after Spider-Man. He had done the three Spider-Man movies. And he said, he kept saying, he said about those movies that it was like directing a big symphony, you know, where he would go with a bullhorn and a golf cart from one set to the other. And he said, this is like being in the sandbox again. It's like, um,

it's like directing a more intimate, like a string quartet. And, and he just seemed, he always seemed so happy. You know, he seemed like he was playing like he, and, and, and the movie reminds me of that. It's got, I don't know. It just feels like a, it's got a real sense of play. Yeah. And that's, you know, a smaller cast and a relatively small amount of sets and just more manageable, but then also just so creative within that.

Like the camera work, the way the camera moves in all of his movies, but particularly in this one, I really – it's just, it's, he keeps things, he keeps things entertaining. Yeah. Yeah. He really brings a lot to the table. So I'm excited about that. He's directing a, what'd you call it? What is he?

Oh yeah. Oh, is it Dr. Strange? The new Dr. Strange? Yeah. That's cool. That's cool. That's great. Yeah. Yeah, Justin, you should get him on the phone. Hey, Sam. For a while after that, we always talked about –

I remember we were doing press for it, and then years later we would talk about doing – we were both really into the idea of doing like a true horror comedy, kind of like the old abbott and costello meets yeah but i think so meets frankenstein or mummy and um and we had this idea for a while of a buddy comedy of these two bumbling explorers um who get haunted but in a i guess kind of like the frighteners is Frighteners a little bit about that? Done in like a really scary Sam Raimi way, but also very funny. You know, Sam always wanted to make something like that.

What do you think about, what if it was you and Ryan Gosling? I don't think Ryan Gosling would do that, but yeah. Wait a second. I mean, you know, he did a movie with Russell Crowe, right? I love that movie. I think there's that movie is so funny. Well, that's why I thought of that because he, he straight up does Bud Abbott in a couple of his physical comedy in that movie is pretty brilliant. The scene with the, with the toilet in the toilet stall.

Oh my God. He's so good. Yeah, that's a good one. All right, you guys, we got to get into the games here. We got to play some games cause that's what people come to this show for. And I've got two games planned for the three of you today and the first one is called it's a new game and it's called popularity contest and the uh idea this game is uh were you popular in school

are you asking Were you popular in school? Are you asking us? Are you asking us? This is going to be a real short game. We definitely weren't assertive. I'm going to call somebody else right now. I'll get back to you three. Yeah. Were you guys popular in school?

Well, you don't have to be popular to win this game. You just have to know who is popular okay it turns out that justin this is going to blow your mind it might lead to a lot of uh i don't know what you're going to do with this information okay i can't wait wait you you can look up any movie on imdb and then you can hit a button that says see all cast and it'll just list the cast in the order listed by the studio or alphabetical or whatever uh-huh uh order of appearance billing but you can click on a button that will show you the cast in order of popularity according to IMDb, the day and time, the moment you click on that button. Oh, yeah. They have a ranking.

They have like a star meter, it's called. Everybody's ranked. Yeah. So I'm going to name a movie and then i'm going to go to each of you one at a time you can all guess the same answer if you want but you know sometimes you to get more points you might want to branch off into your what your own idea is but the idea is i'll name a movie and each of you try to guess who is the most popular person in that movie according to imdb today today and uh if you get that person you get three points if you if you name the person who's second you get two points and for third you get one point play three rounds whoever has the most points wins, there might be a tiebreaker. Okay.

And this is overall popularity, right? This isn't like somebody increased in popularity in the last couple of months. This is just like – Well, it could be, right? Yeah, yeah, no, that's right, right? That's what's messed up about it is I don't know. Okay, fair enough. O.J. Simpson had a pretty small part in the Naked Gun. I don't know. Okay, fair enough. O.J. Simpson had a pretty small part

in the Naked Gun. I don't know how they're deciding other than just the popularity. We don't know their algorithm. No, it's cool. Let's play the game. Yeah, it's definitely a weird

algorithm because you will see as we play uh how weird this can be so we'll start we're going alphabetically so justin long you're up first okay who do you think is the most popular person in being John Malkovich I'd say Cameron Diaz Cameron Diaz what do you think Doug Mallard I'm trying to think of cameos but I'm actually going to go Malkovich yeah

I'll stick with it that's smart Diallo I hope I understand how we're judging popularity because I think it's impossible I hope I understand how we're judging popularity because I think... It's impossible. No, I'm trying to figure out the gamesmanship here.

I'm going to go with Cusack. All right, this is how stunning this is. Oh, boy. Cusack, he gets listed fifth he's the main character in the movie and he's fifth in third

would have been worth one point if any of you had remembered that David Fincher David Fincher is in the movie in one of the scenes where it's like a fake documentary within the movie

there's somebody interviews somebody called Christopher Bing and it's David Fincher wow wait who was fourth you skipped fourth who was fourth I forget because I skipped it because it doesn't affect the outcome of the game. Okay, no worries.

And number two, also cameoing for an insanely brief cameo, as brief as his cameo in Deadpool 2, it's Brad Pitt. Oh, God. Did you even remember that he was in being John Malkovich? Huh. Like the joke is that you see it's Brad Pitt and the camera moves away without even talking to him. And then number one for being John Malkovich is yes, indeed, John Malkovich.

Yeah. Oh, that makes sense. He's in Space Force right now right yeah no cameron diaz that's a good question maybe rubbing it in i know i know that's weird there just might be a lot of space force chatter right now is really giving malkovich a bump. Yeah, that's a good metric for judging the popularity. Okay, I think we're learning. That was a learning.

Okay, good. The trial round was successful. Okay, so Doug, you're no longer winning. That didn't count. Story of my life. Sorry, buddy. Actually, Doug gets to go first on this next one who do you think is

top most popular person in the movie Hidden Figures Hidden Figures oh dear god I don't even do you know what that is yeah years. Oh, dear God. I don't need, do you know what that is? Yeah.

I know it's not Janelle Monet. Oh, is that your final answer? Yeah. I mean, she's huge right now. She's unbelievable. But who knows with this game? Who knows? Diallo? I was going to say Janelle.

I think Octavia might be a good call. Marsha Ali, maybe. Oh. Because he's been in so much since um hey can i sidebar for a second sure justin yeah yeah did you know octavia spencer is in drag me to hell uh and i'm embarrassed to say i didn't She's just standing around in the loan office. She's clearly like either her lines got cut or she never had any. Oh, just like my brother. He's in good company. His lines got cut from that movie.

I didn't realize that. I know David Pamer's in that stuff. I know David Pamer's in the Rugged God, basically. But Octavia Spencer is like standing around the scene. Oh, my God. The scene where the gypsy woman gets all. Yeah. Hungarian woman gets all upset. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay. I'm going to go with Mr. Ali just because I feel like he's had a really good career since then. Oh, man. Okay. Justin? I can tell by your reaction I'm definitely right.

I think Janelle Monáe makes the most sense. We can do the same answers? Yeah, yeah. Is Taraji Henson?. And is Taraji Henson Taraji Henson? I'll say Taraji Henson. Oh, yeah.

You getting a little bite of cookie? Just yeah, just in the yeah, I might need to make up some points. OK. Well, I got some

bad news for you, Justin. Yeah. Oh, no. Taraji P. Henson, arguably the main character, the star of Hidden Figures, came in eighth place. Wow. Yeah. Wow. I'll jump all the way up to number three for the sake of time.

Of course, Kevin Costner. You can't forget that white man that was in that movie sure was and then uh number two janelle monae ah i should have gone with my gut oh man darn it uh but doug and diala both said Janelle, right? No, no, no. I said Marcia. Oh, yeah. You did change yours. So Doug is running away with this thing? Whoa. Yeah. That is not – I could never have imagined that happening. I thought I was going to get stomped.

Yeah. I saw her in concert a couple years ago, and it blew my mind, so I was just sticking with that that how i felt as an audience member i think we should definitely start a hashtag imdb so white well at least we didn't say kevin costner well it's dude you're not gonna believe this the number one person kirsten dunst is kirsten Dunst. Yeah. Really? Yeah. Wow.

God. I mean, that just does not seem right. She's not hitting it all. All right. So we're going into round three with Doug with a, it looks like an insurmountable lead, but we'll play anyway. Let's increase the points just to keep it interesting. Oh, that's a good point.

All right. So for anybody who guesses the number one person in this next movie, I'll give 10 points. Ginemone. And we're going to start with Justin this time. You ready? Okay. Apollo 13.

Wow. Can I go first this time, don't I? Oh, have you not gone first yet? I haven't gone first yet. Oh, yeah, you're right. And by the way, my gut was Malkovich, and I overthought that. And my gut was Janelle, and I overthought that. So this time I have to go with my gut.

I'm just going to say Tom Hanks. Okay. I didn't get it again. Fuck. Justin. Yeah, it's tough to not say Tom Hanks. So I'm going to say it. I'm going to just say Tom Hanks. So I'm going to say it. I'm going to just say Tom Hanks,

but now I need to make up some points. No, we can tie. We can tie. Yeah, I'll stick with Tom Hanks. I should have stuck with my gut line. Yeah. I'm going to go with, I mean, it would be smart for me

to just go Tom Hanks cause then we just tie on this round, but I'm going to go with Kevin Bacon and go opposite of Justin Scott. Oh, wow. You're bringing, you're bringing home the bacon. That'll be smart. All right. Well, this is another weird one. um all right well this is another weird one oh man who what cameos are in this one that we don't know about it's bizarre third place uh for third they went with bill paxton, which is, that's a good, that's a good call. The great Bill Paxton. Yeah. But number two is Tom Hanks. Wow. So close.

So, so you guys got some points on the board. Wasn't a complete blowout, but Doug is our winner. So who was number one? Who was one? Number one is the uncredited. Doug is our winner. So who's number one? Who's won? Number one is the uncredited girl in a yellow dress. What girl was on the set of that movie? Chanel Monet. No, no, no.

This is fun. Was it a fanning? No. No. Oh, gosh. Okay. What year is that? That's 92?

Yeah. Why would there be a little girl on What year is that? That's 92? Yeah. Why would there be a little girl on the set of Apollo 13? Yellow dress. Bryce Dallas Howard. That's correct. Oh, wow. God damn it. Bryce Dallas Howard. Now a director herself.

She outran a T-Rex in high heels. She will always be. No disrespect to bryce dallas isn't it still surprising that she should be higher than tom hanks right i think she's in the world of uh nerds she's got a lot of friends right now because he directed mandalorian oh yeah there it is wow okay now down to b Bryce. That's amazing. Yeah. And Kirsten.

Wow. Good for them. Did you ever make out with her upside down? Not upside down. Oh, that was Tobey Maguire. I'm sorry. Right. That's a common thing.

All right, well, congratulations to Doug Mellard for winning that game. That means he gets a tremendous advantage in our second and final game today that I'll tell you all about when we get back from these commercial messages. We're back. Congratulations, again, to Doug Mellard for besting Justin Long and Diallo Riddle in the popularity contest game. And now we're going to play last person standing. And that's the game where we take turns naming movies that an actor

or actress has been in. And if you can't think of one, you're out. And I like to play along on this game. And Doug gets to pick that actor or actress. You get to decide. who you think you can beat the three of us in naming movies that that person was in. And last time I picked Paul Newman and everybody hated me. Right, and you also did not win.

Yeah, so it doesn't matter. You guys don't get any disadvantage here. But I'll go with the Tom Hardy. Tom Hardy. That's a really interesting one. And by interesting, I mean, I hate it. This is going to be tough. It is pretty tough. I mean, it's not, Oh no, it's not. I think I don't even know why. how many do you think the four of us can

come up with oh i don't know if i get one round maybe 10 yeah all right let's try it let's see let's see what we can do so doug so we're gonna go doug then Justin, then Diallo, then me. I really wanted to come on. I really wanted to come on Corey Haim week. I just want to put that out there. I went back and studied the man's whole career. I would be much better at Corey Haim. Everybody comes on Corey.

Oh. Oh. Justin. Okay. So I messed it up. We're going to start with Doug, and then we go to Diallo, then Justin, then me. Okay. I'll throw out Venom. So you're going Ven venom right out of the gate

that's a big one uh what's your first tom hardy title diallo uh he was bane he's bane in the the darkises. That's right. Justin. He was in Inception. And what was his character called? Are we up to do the character? No, I just thought that would be funny. Venom.

He's Venom. He's Venom in Inception. He's like Venom in Inception. It's funny. People don't know this, but Bane's real name is Venom also. Like he, Tom Hardy always plays Venom. They just put different names on it because they wanted to sell. Actually Venom's real name is like Eddie Banes or something.

I'm not even kidding. It's like, yeah. Eddie Brock. Oh, Eddie Brock. I was like, that's too weird a coincidence. Okay. Nevermind. All right. So it's my turn and I'm going to say, Oh, here's a good one. That one where he's in a car by himself the whole time. Isn't that called lock? There you go. Yes. With an E yeah. L O-c-k-e locka yeah if you don't like it you can f-u-c-k-e yourself i'll go with the remnant oh that's an excellent one i might not i might not have remembered that.

Yeah, he's good. Yeah, he had that crazy-ass big old beard. Yeah. Dialogue. I'm already getting very low on my – oh, wait, I'm sorry. Tom Hardy, Fury Road. That's right. Oh, yeah.

Oh, thank God. That one came. Thank you. Whoever put that in my brain just now. I was like, I'm already strapped. Okay, yeah, Fury Road. And I thought that was one of the best movies I saw that year. Yeah. God, was that good. It was so good. This is a dumb question, but so Tom Hardy is

supposed to be the same guy that Mel Gibson used to play. There was a big debate about this. I remember the time. Or is it just a different Max? Everybody's named Max in the apocalypse. All the cool people are Max. Yeah. If somebody's trying to help a bunch of

group of hot ladies in uh evening gowns then uh he's actually a different max and mel gibson's character is the guitar guy i think yeah so i don't that's one thing i just did i i think it's a great movie but i just never understood like who, who he's supposed to be and, and why, because I think it would have been cool if they just made a movie about Furiosa, like just about her character, you know? Oh, a hundred percent. What a cool character that was. Yeah. You know, yeah.

By the way, I'll tell you what I have not seen in forever is a Thunderdome. And I kind of, I'm scared to. I'd like to see that again. I feel like I need to see that again with adult eyes. Because I know growing up, I thought it was a great movie. It's probably straight trash. I can't imagine it's good. George Miller, was that not the same? It was.

Yeah. So the Thunderdome stuff is amazing. Like all the stuff with the fighting in the Thunderdome stuff is amazing. Like the, all this stuff with the fighting in the Thunderdome, they're on rubber bands with Master Blaster. Yeah, totally. Master Blaster, all that stuff's great. But eventually you get Mel Gibson, you know, with a weird paper mache head sitting on a horse in the desert. And then him just hanging out with a bunch of kids. Yeah. I remember that.

See, that's remember the children listening. At the beginning, I could take or leave. That's when that movie picks up for me. Ghost directed by Terry Gilliam. Oh, God, how cool. Yeah, so I say just watch the first part of thunderdome if you want to see it okay justin uh i am going to say lawless oh i have like two more right now in my head yeah i think we're all running running short because

it's uh you know he's oh i got one he's got a pretty good career but you know, he's... Oh, I got one. He's got a pretty good career, but, you know, just fucking started. I'm going to say Survivor. Survivor. Oh, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Warrior. Warrior. Oh, wow.

What was Warrior? Warrior was he's like in the UFC and Nick Nolte's his dad. Oh, wow. It's good. Sounds really good. It's really good. It's really good. Nick Nolte is his dad. Oh, wow. It's good. Sounds really good. It's really good. It's really good. Nick Nolte is a dad I'm in.

I'll watch that. Seems like a dad. He's a sweet, loving, playful dad. Yeah, he's like, God damn it! God damn it! You're going to want to eat all your vegetables. You got to block those! It almost writes itself.

You gotta block those. It almost writes itself. My in for a Nick Nolte impression is a line that he says in the movie Prince of Tides. And in fact, I don't even think it's a line in the movie. It's just me imagining him talking to Barbara Streisand on the set. And this is what it sounds like.

Jesus Christ, Barbara! I love moments like that. It's like how James Cagney never said, you dirty rat. Like, it seems like he would have said it. That's funny. Is that true? He never said, you dirty rat? He never said, oh, you dirty rat. Oh, no. That's from the Bugs Bunny cartoons, apparently.

So you just all think he said that. Wow. He was often calling people rats and other people dirty, but he never... Never merged the two. Play It Again Sam is another one. Never said in Casablanca, but it was the basis of the... What is that weird? It's like not even a sequel. Anyway.

Yeah, he doesn't say play it against Sam. Instead, he puts a cigarette out in the guy's eye. I don't know why it got misinterpreted. Play it against Sam was implied by that. Yeah. James Cagney did say, Luke, I am your father, though. That was the weird ending of uh angels with dirty faces that nobody ever shows anymore um now they watch angels with dirty souls is more popular

i guess that's the that's the movie that they made up for oh that's right. That's fantastic. You're so right about that. My kids love that. Whose turn is it? I think it's mine. I think it's Doug. Oh, wow. Okay. My bad. I'm going to go with Bronson.

Bronson. Wow. He was insane in that. I came to ask what Bronson, wow. He was insane in that. I tempted to ask what Bronson was. I feel like I don't know Tom Hardy's catalog. He's made movies in other countries and shit. What have you got for us next, Yalo?

I got Dunkirk. Whoa. Oh, yeah. Nice. I got Dunkirk. And I'm hoping one of you guys is now out of movies might be might be justin might be um i'm trying to think of the browning or mr brown's uh fuck what was that that um i'm trying to work out that mop that mobster where he played the brothers. Damn it. This is my last one. Oh, really? Yeah. I can't think of what that's called.

Yeah. I've seen it too. It's really good. I just thought of another one. Oh, well then I hate you. Oh, I don't remember. I don't remember what it's called. I'm out. Okay. Oh, I thought of another one. Yeah. I think Doug just said the one I thought't remember. I don't remember what it's called. I'm out. Okay. Oh, I thought of another one. Yeah. I think Doug just said the one I thought. Yeah. Oh, maybe not. Yeah. I think so. Justin gave a clue. I'll say that.

So Justin's out. I'm out. Yeah. Okay. So I'm going to say, um, this means war. Oh my God. That's right. Whoa. Yeah, it's him and Chris Pine are both pining for Reese Witherspoon.

Oh, wow. Directed by McG. Yeah. Wait, did Mark Waters write that? Or Waters' brother? Oh, probably. I gotta look that up now. Those guys have their hands in pretty much every comedy since Heathers.

Yeah. Is it his turn? Doug? Oh, me? Yeah. Was the Brothers movie, is that Legend? Yes. Oh, me? Yeah. Was the Brothers movie, is that Legend? Yes. Oh, yeah.

God damn it. That's a good call. That's a good call. YOLO. Good. Legend. Now, I know for a fact that the first time, and I don't know much about Tom Hardy,

so it's amazing that I'm still in the game. He did a, because you said he did a lot of movies overseas he did a movie with it's either Danny Boyle or Guy Ritchie and I'm just trying to remember the name of that movie and he's really funny in it and I can't I'm having a hard time remembering

I can't remember if it's Danny or Guy who directed it but it's one of those really British movies where you need subtitles. You can't make out any words that they're saying. And I actually, I remember at the time I saw it because Ludacris was in it, so you can hold that against me, but I cannot think of the name of that movie. I think I'm going to have to. Hold on one second.

It's not Sexy Beast. That was like his. But it reminds me of Sexy Beast. It's not obviously Lockstock. It's not Sexy Beast. But it reminds me of Sexy Beast. It's not obviously Lockstock. It's not Lockstock. I have a guess, I think. It's not the limey.

All these movies are in the same section of my brain. I can't remember. I'm going to tap out just to save time. Oh, that's okay. Yeah, I can't remember. Oh, that's too bad. All right, so I'm going to guess what I think you were driving at,

and I could be wrong. I think I might even – I'm probably wrong, but you guys tell me. Was he in Layer Cake? Oh, no. Is that it? I don't think that's it. No. I don't think – shame on me.

I don't think I've seen Layer Cake. That's why I don't think that's it. I don't think I've – shame on me. I don't think I've seen Layer Cake. That's why I don't – The big surprise in Layer Cake was how scary Ben Kingsley was. You know what? I'm out. I'm just going to look at my phone real quick. Yeah, I'm out too. Doug, do you have another one? Did anyone say Capone?

No. Oh, man. Yeah, Justin said gangster movie, and I was like, i was like that's the one okay so that was the last one i had no because that one's in the move that one's in the news because they're always like is it going to come out is it going to be a movie theater it's out yeah it's well it's on like demand and stuff yeah it's like trolls it's like trolls world tour for all those people with kids um well there you go here's the movie it was rock and rolla oh yeah he plays handsome he plays handsome bob i gotta i think i'm gonna watch that one if if it's got tom hardy and he's funny in it it's it's just you know it's funny in the way that

lock stock is funny it's um it's got gerard but, Tandy Newton, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Jeremy Piven, Ludacris, Tom Wilkinson. Oh, I thought you were saying, well, that's a ludicrous cast. Any cast with Ludacris is by its nature ludicrous. And Jeremy Piven, ludicrous. Oh, man. Oh, man. This movie's got ridiculous. It's got ludicrous. And Jeremy Piven, ludicrous. Oh, man. Oh, man. This movie's got ridiculous. It's got fucking stupid.

Yeah, they were Scottish gangsters. Yeah, there you go. Well, real quick before we go, do you guys have any recommendations? Have any of you watched a movie? It could be a TV show too, but I'm mostly looking for movies that like people might not be aware of that are just a really good. What's odd, I watched Sexy Beast last night for the first time in like 15 years.

Love that movie. It's great. It's a great movie. We did have to have subtitles a couple of times. It's very British, but Ben have subtitles a couple times it's very british but ben kingsley is insane and he's really intense this is not my movie but i want to just chime in if you if you like okay so if you like sexy beasts you know british uk let's call them uk movies that you need the subtitles for i'm going going to recommend a show on Netflix called Dairy Girls,

which is almost like... Oh, my parents, every time I see them, they're like, have you seen Dairy Girls yet? I really do. Listen, I liked Booksmart. I thought that was a great movie. It was very funny. And this is almost like Booksmart,

but in the UK in the early 90s, I want to say. And it just, it's a really funny show. I mean, like, if you're looking at... Are they Irish? Yeah, they're Irish. Yeah. They're really Irish. And it's a really funny show. And all those actresses are really amazing. Listen, I have nothing

in common with them. I think it's a really funny show. Irish white girls' lives matter. Exactly. exactly hey you know what for my movie if i if i can just jump in with mine real quick before i forget it um we were talking about drag me to hell and there was a period before my wife and i had kids and we would just always pop in like horror movies that we hadn't heard other people talk about and there were some just some gems you know like just some and like weird movies like Jacob's Ladder that I you know avoided as a kid because I was

scared of them but you know atmospheric horror film so that might for my movie I want to choose Silent Hill from my 2006 I thought it was one of the most well I thought it was one of the most beautifully shot films horror or otherwise ever shot and it's super creepy but it's super beautiful it just it hits that perfect zone between the two and i think that that's uh if you're looking for a horror film that's not it's got some gory moments but it's really more eerie and shocking i think silent hill i don't know why that director didn't end up doing more um but silent hill man that's a good movie oh man that's great i um that's i would like can i doug i have one okay that i keep thinking about is um

my brother and i just worked with i fell in love with her melanie linsky and i've been on a we've been editing this thing so i've been seeing so much of her and we so I've been like obsessed with her other movies and I love one called The Intervention. Have you seen this? It's Clea Duvall directed it. It's with Kobe Smulders and Ben Schwartz is great speaking of Space Force. It's just such a well made intimate little like you know the plot isn't like groundbreaking. It's just such a well-made, intimate little, like, you know, the plot isn't like groundbreaking. It's, it's like the big chill,

a group of friends meeting in a house, but it's just so authentic and well-acted. It's really great. It's called the intervention. I think, I think it's on Amazon. Okay. This just popped into my head. so random but Justin years ago I think I saw you at Largo reading Michael Madsen's poetry it was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life I that's nice to you I I got a yeah I got a message from his lawyers I think. I think somebody put it up on YouTube. I didn't.

So I got like a cease and desist. Well, if there's a leaked, still dark web YouTube video out there of you doing it, I recommend that as my movie now. I wasn't saying anything. Basically, I was just reading it straight. Yeah, but it was done very well. It was awesome. You can buy the

Collected Works on Amazon. I'm not kidding. Read them for yourself. They're really fun to read out loud, like in his voice. Well, why don't you read the whole, you you know the entire thing justin and make it available for people okay yeah i think the problem was i told a story about a run-in that i had with him and that's the part that they felt was maybe um i don't know if it

was true uh but but i think if you just read the poem straight, it wouldn't be libelous. Right. Yeah, as long as you don't charge people for it. Yeah, that's true. That's true. But if you do happen to get the book, there's one called Hammerhead that I really recommend. Writing it down now. Yeah, Hammerhead.

Right. That's the best poem in the book, you think? That's my favorite one. There are a couple about dreams that he had involving like Dennis Hopper and people he worked with. There's some, there's some that are just like, you just have to read it. They're great. Okay. Let's do some self-promotions starting with Diallo Riddle. What do you got going on? You've got the name just Diallo on Twitter, right? You know, when your name is Diallo, it's easy just to get at your name.

I know. I love that. Not a whole lot. You can't get a keychain, but you can get that really simple handle on social media. Diallo, I don't know how to say this but we i mean we were talking about your name before how you need how much we liked it we were all on this page and where did it come from how did you get the name so uh my mom wanted to name me david but dad was like you know and i'm the sixth of six kids so oh wow they'd already gone through Tony and Sean. Oh, really? Oh, they have all, like, regular names? Yeah, and then kid number five was Spring Robin, you know,

and then I came along. I was Diallo Amir Riddle, which should have been pronounced Jallo Amir because it's an African name, but it's spelled D-I-A, and they felt like everybody was going to bastardize it and say Jello, so they just said, oh, let's call him Diallo. But, of course, my wife's mom is a pastor. And so when she was like, I'm doing this guy named Diallo.

And her mom was like, that's Spanish for devil. And she's like, mom, that's Diablo. And that's a different language. But yeah, I was born Diallo Riddle. I've always been Diallo Riddle. Oh, wow. And if I may, thedle. I've always been Diallo Riddle. Oh, wow. And if I may, the thing that I'd like to shamelessly self-promote is that, you know, we did a Black History Month special for AMC and IFC.

It was originally supposed to air in February. When they pushed it back to June, we thought that was kind of funny. We were like, well, we'll call it the Black History Month Spectacular in June. We thought that was really funny. And then the world changed, you know, after February between pandemics and protests. And we actually feel like now is the moment for there to be a Black History Month Spectacular in June. And it's going to be on AMC this Friday night at 10 p.m. and on IFC at 11 p.m. And if you want to watch season one of our show, because it's called the Sherman Showcase, I should say,

Black History Month Spectacular in June. Sherman Showcase season one is on Hulu. You can watch it. We got 100% brown tomatoes and a lot of love from a lot of different people. So you can get all caught up. You don't need to see all that to appreciate the black history month special but it's uh i think it's really funny i think it's our best episode yet and we did it with a lot of love and uh we think that

it might be the uh it might be the the salve that people need to sort of recharge their battery and bring a little bit of lightness and levity to your life, if only for an hour. That's what I'd say. That's awesome. Wow. Doug, do you have anything as inspiring to share with us? Oh man. I've got a new album called Fart Safari 3, Fart Hard with a Vengeance coming soon.

And all the proceeds go to wherever uh yeah that sounds really cool after the proceeds are gonna all go to uh curing fart cancer i'm getting it just so you know I'm getting that oh perfect thank you yeah I know actually no there's a guy on Twitter that got the handle fart cancer and even though

it's horrible it also makes me laugh every time I see it Brendan Walsh said that on stage one time he just opened with that

guys I got bad news I've got fart cancer oh Brendan alright so um Guys, I got bad news. I've got fart cancer. Oh, Brandon. All right. So, Justin, did you want to plug anything? Well, after those, well, you know, actually, yeah, I've been doing a thing called Cameo where people can hire me to do like little shout outs and stuff, but all the money is going in No Kid Hungry. So I thought it's a good organization and especially now. And if you look at my Instagram, I'm going to start donating some,

I found all these shirts that I wore in movies, like the shirt I wore in Che scrapers and the one from waiting and we're going to donate it as well. So in a couple of days, I'm going to put that on there. And also I did a movie about farts. My brother and I directed, but I'll tell you about that when the world's not falling apart all right thank you so much to uh justin long dialo riddle and doug mellard i uh don't have much to plug because all my dates are getting canceled they're postponed but the earliest one that looks like it might really happen would be the acme comedy club in Minneapolis, September 10 through 12. And, yeah, that's about it for now.

Thanks, everybody. Thank you, Doug. Thanks, man. Thanks, Doug. So much fun. Nice playing with you guys. Yeah, you too. Thanks, guys.

As always, a polar bear fell on me. Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie. Thanks, guys. As always, a polar bear fell on me.
