Doug hates candy wrappers screaming baby sticky seeds with 50 azic, pop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see because Doug. Hey, hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug, and I love movies all summer long, all summer strong. This is Doug Love's Movies recording on Wednesday, June 24th, 2026. My guest today are a newbie and two old bees, Lace Larrabee, Nathan Lund, and Jeff Tate. Hello. Hello, guys.

Let's meet everybody individually, alphabetically, by first name, as usual. He won last week in a bloody battle with his own brother. It's Jeff Tate. Hey, Jeff. Hey, everybody. How's it going? What's that done? It's going all right.

So the last time we talked, I forget how much of it was on the show and how much was off the show, but it sounds like you must have probably seen Toy Story 5 by this point. Yeah, I saw it this morning. I don't feel like anybody on this planet that goes to movies with the kids. is going to avoid that movie. Like, you have to see it. Yeah, you have to. And it's good.

Do they want to see it again? Yeah, they're all, they're huge fans of whatever they just saw. Wait, so, like, anytime you see something, they'd rather just see that again than try something else? Yeah, yeah, like, they'll go home and start wondering when they can watch, like, kind of probably be upset. They can't watch it again right now. Yeah, how soon can we see that shit again? Because they're like, we saw hoppers in the theater, and then they've probably seen it six times since they came.

It came out to buy, so I bought it for them, and then, like, now it's on Disney Plus, and they just watch it all the time. Wow. I mean, I guess as those things go, it's not a bad one to happen. I haven't seen it, but it's one that I actually kind of want to see of the kids' stuff. I'm more interested in that than Toy Story 5, to be honest. It was, I liked it better than Toy Story 5, but it's just, I just, they just, the kids

and the Toy Story movies stay the same. They're all still like eight years old and now I'm almost 50. Like, I'm, it doesn't really, I don't really know. I guess I'm like, I guess I'm supposed to relate to Woody. I mean, I hope they hang up the whole series if, if we ever lose the Great Wallace, Sean, because, you know, if the dinosaur's dead, that's probably a good time to give it a rest. Yeah.

We already lost Mr. and Mrs. Potato. Right? Now they got new voices for him. Joe Cusack is retired from everything but playing the voice of a toy that's supposed to be a teenage girl. Wow. I love her, though. I love her, though. I'm sorry to drag her, but.

It is interesting that, as I understand it, the current movie, she doesn't really sound like a child anymore. No. They should get RFK to do the voice of Lightyear. She is appearing on this show for the very first time. Her album is called White Trash Cinderella. Hello, Lace Laramie. Hey, Doug.

Hey guys, Jeff, Nathan. Good to this is here y'all again. Hey, hey. So you have a podcast, too? Me, I used to. I haven't had it in a couple years now, but yeah, I had a four and a half year podcast. We did like 300 and something episodes. So, yeah, no stranger to the cast.

It was called Cheaties. I think it might still exist somewhere on the internet. I think that's, I think it does. I think that that's part of the fun about saying you used to have a podcast, is it still there. You know, we don't say I used to have comedy albums. Right, right. They're all still available. Exactly.

You know, and I don't know if it would actually bring you any money, but at the very least, if they check out your podcast and listen to you more, obviously the plugs on the podcast, the dates will be all wrong. But they'll find you. They'll come find you. Hey, well, if I was to plug anything, skip the podcast because the thing I actually do make money from is that album. So let's go check out White Trash Cinderella. I'm glad I led with that. Yeah.

That was so smart of me. You're so smart. How are you with movie trivia, Ace? You know, oh, man, I started to get nervous doing this because I generally like to think that I'm really good at it. and my girlfriend is younger than me, so I know so much more than she does. So I feel really smart in the house, but then now that I'm talking to you three dudes,

I'm like, fuck, I might not know as much as I should. Well, let me just say that the show is basically the idea is, because I don't know the skill levels of my guests generally before they come on. So the basic idea is that the questions and the games are, Easy enough for the people that aren't good at it to get luck, have luck on their side. Okay. But still so hard that people that are even really good at it are going to struggle. Oh, okay, good.

All right. Well, I'll be somewhere in the middle then, I'm guessing. It's designed to make, you know, the worst, the person with the least skill still have a chance. Okay. You know what I mean? All right. So I'm still in the game. I'm still in the game.

That's one way to look at her. Our third, well, good luck, have fun, don't I. Our third guest, it's his third visit to the show. He has a podcast, the day of which I screw up every time. Chubby Bohemios. It's Nathan Lund. Hey, Nathan. Hello, Doug.

What part of the country are you phoning this in from? I'm in, I'm in Trinidad, Colorado. That's what I thought. That's what I thought it was. I said it out loud to my girlfriend. I said he's in Trinidad, Colorado. And I'll never, I can't get comfortable saying that. That's all right. You don't have to say it that often. Is there a Pueblo anywhere near the other Trinidad? It used to be Trinidad and Pueblo. Pueblo is an hour north of Trinidad. Yeah, that's what I thought. I was just trying to, you know, rearrange. I was redistricting. The town called town. Yeah, Pueblo. You're a fierce competitor.

Yeah, I'm O for two in live Doug Love's movies at the Comedy Works in Denver. I lost twice. I love to have you out when I do the show in Denver. The last time I did it in Denver, you had other plans. Yeah, not that long ago, a couple weeks ago. We missed you, but, you know, I'm glad you had something else to do. And so it's a great reason to say no is you have actual work. Yeah, I can't remember I was, but I was somewhere doing comedy.

You're on the road somewhere, doing your comedy. And how often can people hear the Chubby Bee podcast? There's a free episode every week. And then we also have a Patreon. We do a Patreon episode every week. week. And that's just $5 a month if you want to get in there. We are coming up on six years. We started in 2020. Well, not to undercut you in your, you know, Patreon sales, but also people can, you know, get more than one. They can subscribe to more than one thing on Patreon. But

I'm undercutting you by minus $4.20 a month. That's smart. But you offer a lot. But you offer a lot more than I do, I'm sure. Mine is just once a week I turn a camera on and smoke and just talk extemporaneously directly to camera and that's the only place you can see it is on my Patreon. Oh yeah, that's great.

Yeah, we're trying to make more stuff to try to up the value because God forbid you get $5 a month for four episodes. People want more. So you give them more and more and more. I give them less because they shouldn't even be buying it in the first place.

Right, you're being prohibited. You're telling them not to. So make it such a bad deal that they go, well, fuck this. And they save the money. You know, most of my subscribers are people that subscribe thinking it was going to be more. Not more, but, you know, just they subscribed when they could absolutely afford it. And then they forgot they subscribed to it because it's only taking. Until the sheriff comes to kick them out of their house.

Yeah, it's only taking $4 a month out of their account. So like 20 years from now, they'll be broken on the streets because they say, signed up for my Patreon. You give them more and more because at your peak, you had like eight podcasts. I did one that you did with another duck. It's true. That one's so going. Wide World of Dugs.

Oh, hell yeah. I'm going to hit Lace up to do that one because, you know, Lace Larrabee is an incredible name. But enough about that and those other things. Before we play our games today, I'd like each one of you to recommend one movie. We'll start with Jeff. What's your recommendation this week? Is it, were you going to say Toy Story 5?

No. No, I saw the wrecking crew on the Amazon Prime movie, Wrecking Crew, with Jason Mamo and Dave Bautista. And is it based on the old, like, 50s wrecking crew with Dean Martin? No, I don't think so. They just took the same name, wrecking crew? Yeah. Wow.

And, but these two guys, they're brothers, but they don't get along. Wait a second. Fake news sounds like to me. What? Who are the two guys, Walberg and who? It's Jason Momoa and Dave Batista. Where'd I get Walberg? Because it sounds like a movie he should be in.

Yeah, as soon as you're saying, it's on streaming and it's got a title that's already a classic other movie they just took it from okay so we got Mamoa B'Batista and they're brothers yeah and they don't get along who makes more of an effort to look like the other one

neither of them make any effort at all they just look like Dave Mautista and Mamoa yeah they're just two two big guys one is bald and the other one has all that hair yeah they make I think they make some kind of reference to there being a significant age gap.

Oh, okay. But wouldn't, probably different mothers or different fathers. But what if, you know, you know, Bautista in a Mamoa wig would be fun? Well, yeah. I mean, we'll see what happens with the wrecking, too. That better be what they call it. If it's not, I'm going to somebody's house.

What? So you're recommending this movie. movie though you liked it yeah if you like movies that i've recommended you will like this yeah if you like if you like it's right up my alley man it is they're in fact they have to solve a mystery they fight a lot of people it's fun good fight scenes yeah see it bumps me out i i like a big screen fight scene i don't like them on tv or on a plane or on my phone because you know i like to see everything that's happening like i just saw this movie the Furious. I saw it twice in theaters because it's just nonstop, kickass, amazing action.

And, you know, I don't think I'll watch it much at home just because it's like, I don't like action to be small. Just like movies with lots of explosions and stuff, but it's just weird watching it on a phone or something. I thought I said The Furious last week, so I didn't say it. I saw The Furious also, and it's, it's awesome. Like, then if I didn't recommend it last week, then I switched. to that. This is it. The Furious. It's awesome. Last week, I think you recommended I love boosters.

Okay. Yeah, so the Furious. It sounds like you're like those kids and you just like the last thing you saw. Well, it's the thing I can remember the most. But the record, I've saw four movies since I watched the Reck and crew that I will never, ever tell you.

Okay. What's the recid crew? What's it available on? It's on prime, but now it's like it streams on prime, but I think can just, I think it came out to buy, like, if you want to rent it on something else. Yeah, that seems like they do that all the time now. Okay. You know, I got Prime, so, you know, I could potentially check it out.

Lace, what have you got for? Could you recommend a movie? Yeah, absolutely. I, we watch so much. We really love to watch, like, limited series more than anything. But, yeah, anything mystery. that good stuff I love, but I did see a movie recently that I freaking loved, didn't know anything about it going into it. It came out this year. I'm sure y'all have all seen it already, but it's called

send help. Yes. Yeah, Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien, and that movie blew me away. I mean, every second I was, I didn't know what the hell, I didn't know what it was going to be. I didn't know what the twist was going to be. Yeah, I could not. I would really like to watch it again, knowing how it ends now. Right. Right, yeah. Those are always the best of the huge twist.

And then you're like, oh, man, I should have caught that earlier. But yeah, fantastic, fantastic movie. Yeah. Comedian Justin Thompson was on the show last week and said the same thing. Oh, well, look at that. He said all the exact same words. So I'm accusing you of plagiarism. We're all the bitch.

It's very popular. It's very popular. We just started Twitter feud over. We had the same opinion on a podcast. But it is, I, you know, I agreed with him and I'm not agreeing again with you. It's really, like you said, those two actors and Sam Ramey, the three of them, like on it, you know. made a pack to be awesome together because it's really, it's really, it's entertaining. Well, then here's one no one's probably seen then. Right. The sixth sense. Has anyone said that? Okay.

Okay. Tell us more about this. Has anyone recommended that? I doubt. I doubt. We did rewatch that one though. We did rewatch that though the other night actually just out of the blue we were talking about it. And I was like, you know what? I've probably even seen that movie in 20 years. And that was a fun one to rewatch. Same thing. I've got a, I just thought of a great, sorry to interrupt, but. No, you're good. A, you know how they keep making like Jane Austen things, but fun, you know, with zombies or Abraham Lincoln, vampire hunter.

I'm thinking the sixth sense and sensibility. and it's Jane Austen, but they're all ghosts. The ghosts is how Mr. Walker would say it. Oh, that's fantastic. Oh, my God. No, okay, then another recent one, the Margot Robbie remake of Weathering Heights. That was incredible.

You love that? Loved it, loved it, loved it. Because I loved the book, and I've seen other versions of it, but her version, it was darker, it was weirder. It had all these nice twists to it that, or not in the book, they kind of took, you know, liberties, creative liberties with it. And I say watch it specifically just for the wallpaper in the house when she gets with the fancy guy.

And the wallpaper mimics her skin. And the, yeah, so the creative, like, department actually took photos of her actual skin. and then made wallpaper based on it. And it kind of felt like skin, and it had, like, her moles and her hair and her everything, like, on it. It's so freaking weird and gross, and I loved it so much. Yeah. So we're going to go back and edit out your other recommendations.

Thank you. Please do. So no one thinks I'm plagiarizing, whoever the fuck, Justin Thompson. We don't edit out. Those were all great suggestions. and people can, you know, people can decide for themselves between those, those movies. But I wrote down, Send Help, so that's going into the official record. Nathan, you've really had some time to think about it.

Well, unfortunately, I was going to say Send Help and then Sixth Sense and then Wuthering Heights as my wild card. So I'm scrambling. I'm lost. I don't watch a lot of movies. I will say that I've been trying to watch some older stuff, random older stuff, and I was really pleasantly surprised to revisit for the first time and forever, the world according to Garp, based on a book. Wow. Very funny, weird.

Like, some of the older movies are nice because there's not the one formula that a lot of big movies, kind of or you know there's not as many tropes and that one is all over the place you do not know what's going to happen in the world according to garb from one scene to the next i was so i like that it's true of all the all the adaptations of that guy's books that's certainly i think the best one but anything that's adapted by uh what was his name he just died recently john irving um yeah he uh he he put some wacky ass uh shit into his uh into his books that then then you know made it into these movies he plays he's seen

briefly in garb as uh garb's like wrestling coach i think um well yeah that was that was one that was one that i probably watched when i was younger but not a lot so i didn't really remember it and it was just fun to not you got john lithgow playing a trans woman at like six five or what you know, former football player turned trans woman, like student of Glenn Close, who plays Garp's mom. Yeah, Glenn Close is film debut, I believe. Oh, wow.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It must have been one of her first ones, yeah. Yeah, there's a lot to unpack with that movie. It's really wild. Did you watch it on a streamer? So my buddy had a server where he was uploading movies.

And so we were trying to watch just kind of random stuff. Or like when you're sick of the current events, it's nice to watch a movie that's super old. Like no cell phones, no, I don't know, just a simpler time. And that one is, you know, I don't know when the book came out, but it is, yeah, it's from the olden times, the before times. Yeah, people were less likely Use their seatbelts, you know, when they're parked in the driveway. Right, so that is, I talked about it on Chubby V.

That scene in particular, there's a one, amongst other surprising scenes and events. There's one that stands out as really just a left turn. And I mean, literally. And then, yeah, and it's played off as kind of fun, not fun, but like, I don't know, know there's a joke that comes out of it and it's like man uh didn't expect a lot of the it was

it was just a yeah time where they they shoved a lot in there it's it's uh sexual and political and and the story of one guy but the story of several movements there's a lot going on yeah it's a definitely um you know a movie that i revisit from time to time because it's really unique and you know Robin Williams like love or hate

you know a lot of his movies like just like bangers in the world of pop culture you know you take us something like a like a hook or a patch Adams

or a Jack there's people that love those movies even though they're also you know people make fun of them mostly me he was a really good actor he was pretty inspired but he also just his choices like the movies were hits regardless

you know like you know I felt like a lot of his movies sort of fell short in different ways but like the people mostly mostly ate it up you know but yeah what a what you're talking about RV we'll never agree on army it's a very uh it's a very interesting filmography and especially like towards the end you know he he got uh like you know there'd be one for him couple for us you know like he'd do uh you know

24 hour photo and then be uh you know this statue of what's his nuts in uh history at the museum night at the museum Hey, do you hear about all the history that's at the museum? All right. I guess it's a history museum, right? Sure, it's not a future museum. That'd be cool, though. Right.

Spoiler museum. You know, like a Tomorrowland kind of thing, but then it comes to life and wants to kill Ben Stiller. The plague, the next plague. I mean, The first night of the museum is definitely top five movies where Ben Stiller slaps a monkey. All right. Thank you for those recommendations.

We are back at Dinosaurs. story and our first game today is something I call so and so and the something something and maybe more somethings. There are a lot of movie titles that are a character's name and then more information like the upcoming Gail Daughtry and the celebrity sex pass starring our friend John Hamm as the sex pass.

So I will give you a fake title that I made up that has a character from a film and then some more business about the film and you have to guess what movie

I'm talking about. This first one I will deliver at Jeff will be up first if he misses it if he doesn't know it or doesn't say the right answer then we'll go to Lace and then same thing if that happens

on to Nathan and whenever somebody gets one right the next person in line is first in the next round you ready Jeff? I'm ready. What movie could be called Richard Chance

and the bad day in L.A. Falling down. Oh, great, great guess. I don't think, do they say his name even isn't don't they refer to him as his license plate name yeah i don't know isn't it like you know conserve one or something like that

it's defense defense that's it defense yes so i don't know if they i guess they say his name at some point but anyway that's not the right answer terrific guess though lace what do you think it is oh my god richard chants on the bad day in l.a Clue? Yeah, I mean, the name might not ring any bells, so the best way to go is the movie where somebody has a bad day in L.A. Which has never happened.

Right, never happens. Okay, this could be way off, but one battle after the other. Oh, that's a great guess. Okay. That's a really good guess. Because that's definitely L.A. Yeah, but I don't know. Leo's having a bad day.

Yeah, I forget what Leo's. name isn't that. No idea. But it's not Richard Chance. I thought it was Battle. What an on-the-nose title that was in. James Jimmy Battle. Look at Battle going up against Lockjaw.

Nathan, do you think you know what it is? Well, I don't know for sure because I was going to go with falling down. And so I've been rocked since then. Sure. And yeah, I can't think of Richard Chance, but bad day in LA made me think of, I'm just going to say, big trouble in Little China. Oh, another great answer, but we know that that character's name is. Yeah, Jack Bird. Jack, Burke.

Yeah, when I say we know, I mean, Kurt Russell nerds. Oh, all right, so the first round, nobody got that one. It is tough. These are not easy, but when you get one, you're going to feel so good about it. I slipped in one easy one at one point. But anyway, someone will just get it randomly that way. But this one, Richard Chance and the Bad Day in L.A. Richard Chance is played by William Peterson in a movie called To Live and Die in L.A.

Damn. Yeah. And spoiler, things don't go great. in a in a shocking moment. All right. Jeff, you're back in the saddle.

Here he is your made up title. Dr. Susan McAllister and the super smart sharks. Deep Blue C. Deep Blue C is correct. That is the plot of that movie. That is the plot of that movie

Saffron Burroughs plays the doctor who makes us the sharks really smart it's like they saw Jurassic Park and then went to the typewriter and was just like well what about super smart sharks and what about how you know we'd let

them loose into the into the world because they're so smart um lace here's the next round Jason Shepard and the blue meanie.

Oh my God. None of that is making any, is bringing anything to mind. I don't think it should. Okay. Okay. You said blue me and all like a picture is the genie from the last.

Right? That's not bad. Which version though? Will Smith? fucking hell. All right. Y'all are way. Y'all definitely know some some throwbacks here.

Okay. I got to say something blue. Come on, Lace. What do we got? Yeah, it's blue. Oh, damn it. And the blue meaning. That's fantastic.

I'm sure one of y'all are chomping at the bit to say it. Maybe. I don't know. Maybe. I don't know how obvious it is or not obvious. but obviously Jason Sabra doesn't help you at all.

No, that's not ringing any bells. And it's, you know, what movie has a blue meaning? A blue meanie. Man, that sucks because I can't even think of something to guess, and I know it's not Aladdin, so we're not going to go with that. All right, we won't torture you any further. Okay, okay, can I guess I guess I pass? We can just move on, yeah, yeah.

Okay. You know, if you don't have a guess, you know, you can just say Oklahoma, cross your fingers. Okay. Nathan? Yeah, I'm going to, I have no idea, really, but I keep thinking that maybe one of the characters in the movie goes by Shep, and that made me think of somebody from a perfect storm. Oh, okay. Oh, and the ocean has called a wave of blue one.

That's right. And I couldn't think of something better, so that's my guess. No, that's a valuable guess. I'll cherish it. Also, deep blue sea and then perfect storm. Oh, yeah, I'll just tell you now there's no theme between these other than them just being motion pictures. Jeff, have you thought of it? Have you Googled it yet, Jeff?

Yeah, Jeff, did you look it up? Is your brother there? Did you ask your brother? No, Troy's not here. Thanks for bringing it up. How many times did you have to say that to the young ladies when you were growing up together? All the time. Every time I answer the phone. It's never for me.

I don't remember anybody's name, but aren't the blue meanies from Yellow Submarine? Well, that's a, you know, that is a reference to the, that that's where those words came from. That's where I got the idea for those words is a yellow submarine, but this is just one blue meaning. Then just like the beginning of yellow submarine. I don't have another guess. I just,

the deep blue sea in yellow submarine means, like right then I was like, fuck, it's not going to be a yellow submarine. Yeah, right? as soon as I said, they're not time thematically. So Jason Shepard is played by Frankie Munis, and Paul Giamatti was Monty Wolf, and he got sprayed in the face with blue paint,

and was therefore a blue meaning in Big Fat Liar. Yep. Yeah. Can't confirm. Lace, here's the next one. All right. Let's just move on. We don't need to dwell on it.

Oh, I will. I'll be dwelling all day. Lynn Peltzer and the microwavable nuisance. Oh. Flubber? No. Fuck. Nathan.

Shit. I really thought I had that. Lynn, what is it? Lynn, what? Lynn Peltzer. Peltzer. And the microwavable nuisance. I'm not sure at all.

I just want to guess something. Okay. Microwaveable nuisance. Fuck. Can we swear on this? Shit. Yes. No, only sex words, no, excrement.

any words of sex word I know if you're working in your life life life right God I want to throw something out there and I can't even think of anything good Let me say something Okay It's got to be an ocean theme right I'll say

Gremlins That's the right answer Oh That was my immediate Why is it right Because Lynn Peltzer is the mom Who puts the Gremlin in the microwave

To dispatch it from our existence Okay And then you never see her again She has to kill a dozen things She doesn't even know her there Right. And then she's gone from the movie. Yeah, she just dips. Like, well, she's pretty smart how she handled all the gremlins in the kitchen.

So she probably just got out of town and lived a nice life somewhere. This lady hasn't slept in 40 years. And she doesn't make an appearance in gremlins to the new batch? Well, now that I can't, cannot confirm. Right? You know, like maybe, well, I can't be on his phone. She can't be on the phone with him. But you know what I mean?

She might check in with Zach Gallaghan. Do they visit? I don't think they do. Something might happen there. I don't know. Hoyt Axton, was he still alive when they did the second one? No, I don't think they're in it. Yeah.

All right. Everybody else is. Congratulations. Nathan, you got that point. So Jeff gets to go next in what is our, essentially our tiebreaker. So if Jeff gets this one right, he wins his game. If he misses it, then Nathan is our winner. But, you know what, actually, I'll give Nathan a shot at it.

And if he doesn't get it, then we'll give Lace a try. But if between the three of you, none of you get this, I'll be incredibly shocked. And then the winner just gets to go first in our next game. So no pressure. Jeff. Yeah. Dela Paine and the missing groove. How Stella got our groove back.

That's it. There's the easy one. Yeah, because the tiebreaker has to be easy because they need to break the tie. So congratulations, Jeff. You go first in our next big game. Yay. We'll determine today's winner. We'll do that right after these words.

We'll be right back. We are back. A dinosaur story. Jeff gets to go first in a game that I call the little search. engine that could. Boop, I woke up this morning and then I wrote a word

into the search engine on IMDB. And then I took note of the top 10 movies according to Indiv's algorithm, which is, you know, movies that have been searched recently.

I put that word, I wrote down all the movies, the top 10 movies, that have that word in their title. The three of you will take turns guessing movies one at a time. For three rounds, you'll be trying to name the movies that you think finished on this list with number one being worth the most points at 10,

and number 10 is worth one point, and then, you know, I'll tell you the points of all the others in between. The word, I'm sure that's what you really want, about. We're going to start with Jeff and then go to Nathan and then Lace. And like I said, you each get three guesses. But you want to lead with your best guess because you don't want somebody else to guess to the title you were thinking of.

And since it's the beginning of summer, I typed the word begin, no, I typed summer movies. There's lots of movies with the word summer in the title. Probably starting to feel like you're drawing a blank on them now, but you'll have a second to think about it. Jeff, what's your first guess? What do you think is a top 10 of all time movie with the word summer and the title? Summer school.

Summer school with chainsaw and what was the other guy's name? Oh, man. No one ever remembers the other guy's name. No, I liked it. They were a likable pair, but chainsaw is kind of a hard name to, like chainsaw and Dave Yeah, no, I think No, I think it is. I think it's Dave.

Dave, okay. Yeah, Dave. Okay. Yeah, and kind of I don't know if underrated it's the right word for it because I think lots of people seem to be, you know, have

a place in their heart for it. But on this particular case, say it one more time, Jeff? Summer school. This is what to make sure, because there's so many variations on all these things. Number three on the list. Ooh.

Oh, yeah. Jeff, out of the gate. Out of the gate with eight. I mean, Jeff, you were for a time probably, Kirstie Alley's biggest fan. Yeah, I would say that. Before there was any off-screen information. Yeah. Post-Post Cheers.

So you were like really into her in this movie and in that one Star Trek movie she's in, Ratha Khan. Oh, yeah. Like, we're going to pretend I didn't watch all four seasons of Veronica's closet. We can't pretend that. There were some upsides to watch Veronica's closet. Marylene Rice Cub was on it. Wallace Sean was on it. All right.

Yes. What's your first guest? movie with summer in it, try to get the most number one that you think was just recently searched. Ooh, well, that just threw me. I am going to stick with what I'm hoping is number one, which is, I know what you did last summer. I think that that is a tremendous guess, and that is the injustice of this algorithm on IMDB, because that title did not even crack. the top 10. Oh my God. I was so confident. I already spent the money. I already spent the money, Doug. I saw it further down the list. I thought I had 10 points. But that seemed like, I was like, I would have it right there with you. Like, oh, this is absolutely got to be number one.

Oh, God. Blaze, what have you got? Have you thought of something for your first guess? Because this is, yes, it's one of my all-time favorite movies. wet, hot American summer. Great. Great movie. What did you think of the follow-up? Oh, the whole, I watched the entire series. I've watched the whole thing through like three, four times. All of them in their freaking 40s playing teenagers is my favorite.

It's one of my all-time favorites. Yeah. Well, you know, most of the people, you know, all the, a lot of the characters in that movie were played by members of that, you know, sketch group to state. Right. And now David Wayne is the director, and Ken Marino and Joe LaTrulyo, a bunch of people are in this new Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass. Oh, fantastic. Yeah, Carrie Kenny's in it.

So it's really going to be a fun movie, I think. But anyways, but the movie at hand, Wet Hot American Summer, which I agree is a certifiable classic. I never get tired of looking at it. Not as high as you think, but still on the list at number 10. It is on the list, though. Okay. Yes. All right.

All right. Yeah. Back in the game. Yeah. Wear that badge with pride. Hell yeah. Wear that wet, hot badge. Extra wet.

Yeah, I don't know. When and hot before other words doesn't have the same appeal. It gets real creepy, real fast. All right, Jeff. What's your second guess? You got some points, so more points would really hurt everybody else. So we're all, we all have our fingers crossed, so you're going to blow this. Summer catch.

Summer catch. Yeah, like, I don't know. It was that baseball movie. What was, hey, do you think Freddie Prince had like a thing in his contract that he could only work in movies with summer in the title? it didn't seem to enjoy it. Yeah. No, but they couldn't figure out a way to work summer into the Scooby-Doo titles.

They just didn't try. No, they didn't. They could have made the effort. You know, suicide in summer. No, that's a little too harsh. But you know what I mean? They could have some sort of after the colon. Because even the first movie now can have a colon and then more words.

When did that start? That's ridiculous. And don't even. Can anybody say out loud the title of the John Travolta movie? It just came out that he directed. He's also a voiceover through the whole movie. And he says things like the plane took off while you're watching a plane take off. No, but he looked ridiculous on all the red carpets, though.

Can we talk about that? Yeah, he started. His new look is hilarious. He decided when he went on the press tour for that movie and it played a can. He decided he should be dressed like a director. director costume. But the movie's called Propeller and then a bunch of other words

that I can't remember right now. But it's like, it's not even, doesn't even make sense as a sentence. There's no colons or commas. Fantastic. And it's just a little over an hour long so it doesn't even qualify as a feature film. Great.

Oh, boy. And it's on, it's streaming. a non-pay-view or whatever. So check it out. I kind of want to see it, but I also kind of wait for it to just show up at one of my movie interruption shows. Oh, boy. Yeah, because that'd be a fun way to watch it.

All right. Summer Catch isn't on the list. Yeah. That was very long-winded answer, but Summer Catch was a little further down in the teens on the list. But that was him. and who was Justin Timberlake's wife? Yes, Jessica Beale.

Jessica Beale, yes. I only saw the poster. Oh, you never saw the movie? No. I gotta say, I dare say we should have like a public argument about this somewhere, like going to those debate shows or something.

Worst sport, like like the movie forgive the expression but like the genre the sporting movie genre the ones that have the worst batting average I know lots of guys would disagree with me but I think there are less good baseball movies

and there are good football movies good hockey movies field of dreams good golf movies have you seen field of dreams lately no but I remember it from childhood and it remained in my heart as a phenomenal film. No, that's important.

That's important. But I also, there was probably some fairy tales that were read to me as a child that kicked ass, but I don't find them entertaining anymore. Well, I'm not going to rewatch it. Okay. God is scary to me.

I don't think you should. I think it's in the, you've got it in the perfect place. Perfect in my heart. I do that to everybody when they bring up these classics because I, I make the mistake of watching some of them again. And then I go, oh, no. But the first funny thing about that movie is Ray Leota is supposed to be like this sweet character.

Shilless Joe Jackson. He's, yeah, he's just, you know, he's just an innocent guy playing baseball in the cornfield. But like, he's already evil seeming as fuck. Like when he laughs, he laughs that same laugh that he has in Goodfellas and every other, every other movie where he played horrible people. He was the natural malevolence. Yes, yes, it's so good. Yeah, or, you know, his breakout movie

that with Melanie Griffiths and Jeff Daniels, something wild, he is so scary in that movie. All right. Sorry about Summer Catch. Nathan, what's your next guest? Yeah, so I had so much time, but I kept coming back to one movie, the only movie I can think of,

with Summer in the title, and it is Summer Rental. Okay. There's no reason to feel shame over that. No, I wanted something better. And I'm still reeling from, I know what you did last summer, not even being in the top 10.

Yeah, that's hurting my feelings too. It's weird. Maybe like the recent remake might have heard it somehow. But I would think, yeah, the opposite would be true. I would think it would be way up there, but it's a strange algorithm. And it did give you three points because summer rental is number eight on the list. Oh. Okay. Probably because there's that great John Candy documentary came out recently and, you know,

just make people look up John Candy movies. Three points for Nathan. Lace, did you think of another one? Okay, so I've thought of two other ones. Oh, perfect. So you have two guesses. Oh, perfect. You have two guesses left.

I'm unsure if it's a movie or not. Okay, save that one for last. Okay. And I hope I don't get the number wrong, but 500 days of summer. Number 10 on the list. I mean, excuse me, one on the list. Oh, wow. No fucking way.

I got ahead of myself about the 10 points part, so I said 10 on the list. but it's 10 points for number one on the list. Whoa. You have sprung to the lead with 11 points. Jeff has eight, but he still has one more guess. So if he can get three points, it'll be tied. If you can get four points, he will move ahead. Do I get one more guess, though?

You will, but you have to wait for Jeff and for Nathan, yeah. Got it. Okay. So hopefully neither one of them will take your. what you don't even think is a movie. I'm unsure. Unshort. Jeff.

Summer of Sam. Oh, boy, have we got ourselves a game? Because Summer of Sam is number seven on the list. That's worth four points, which brings Jeff to a total of 12 and one point ahead of lace. And Nathan's still in this, because the number two movie is worth nine points.

So he would, again, force, he'd be forced into a tie with Jeff if he can name that number two movie right now. Hmm. That'd be cool, wouldn't it, Doug? That'd be so exciting. That'd be fucking great. Well, I can buy you a little time and mention that Trinidad, Colorado sounds like

one of Buccaroo Banzai's friends. Whoa. True. good. All right, Nathan, um, yeah.

Do you have any movies in your head with summer? Another way to go is to make up, uh, you know, make up a, uh, what do you call it, uh,

you know, a saying or expression you've heard with the word summer. Some people, some people get sneaky and they just say, what about summer? Is there a movie called summer? And then I look at the list and I, you know,

in this case, I'm not going to tell you what I'd say. but there's ways to go if you can't for sure think of another one. Yeah, I got something that I'm going to throw out there. I don't think it's a movie, but maybe it is. I'm going to go with summer camp. Oh, I mean, that's a great example of, you know, what could have worked out for you but didn't.

Yeah, sure. I had no idea. Yeah, great example of it. But yeah, sorry, that is not. It could be a movie. but it's not top 10 on this list. Okay, Lace, it's all up to you. Okay, this is my same disclaimer.

I don't know if it's a movie, but I didn't know someone who had this on a t-shirt and they wore this t-shirt a lot. Endless Summer. Is a movie. It's a documentary about surfers. Yes. And I like it very much.

but the world does not like it in a oh come on this particular list but that was a nice pull but congratulations to Jeff Tate is our winner today and Jeff who would you like me to call a shithead at the end of the show today

who did you say who did you say last week what was it it was the last week it was Tom Homan oh yeah yeah yeah so who do you want this week. Just a general Greg Abbott.

We talk about movies I watched when I was a child. Did you any movies that came up today? Have they been discussed? Have you done any movies? movies with Summer in the title? No, no, but I want to do one of our Sam's good friends with

chainsaw, so I really want to do Summer's cool, but with chainsaw. Yeah, Dean Cameron. Yeah. Apologies to the other guy for not knowing his character name or his actual name. Okay, before we get to Lace and Nathan and their plugs, because everybody

deserves to have their plugs, I want to share the answers that weren't that didn't come up. It's funny, both of you are very patient with me on that, because usually as soon as I tell the winner to start doing their plugs, they go, but what are the other answers?

I say, don't you worry, we'll get to it, but the winner gets their plugs before, because all the listeners want to know, too. So, there's some sort of, Japanese anime called Summer Wins

is number nine on the list and then so yeah so there's going to be these kinds of things where you go well how would anybody come up with that Hot Summer Nights from 2017 starring Timothy Shalame I never heard of it and then there's a movie from 2018

called Summer of 84 And then number four is the movie called Summer of 69. Like if you just say summer in a year, you're kind of, you know, you have a chance. As we know, summer school was number three. And then number two, an indie film from a few years back that I actually enjoyed a great deal. So I'd recommend it if you haven't seen it. And it's called The Kings of Summer. Yeah.
