Doug hates candy wrappers, green and baby sticky seeds With 50-edged and poplar kernels in his teeth There's still not one that he won't see But Doug loves movies Hey everybody Hey everybody! I didn't plan that out too good. This bag's not easy to get stuff out of.

My name is Doug and I love movies. This is I Love Movies! Coming to you from the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday, February 25th, 2014. Wolf of Wall Street fight Terminator 2 Judgment Day of the Dead Man Walking Tall, the President's Men. Thursday, the Tournament of Championships is coming to Burbank. That's right. At 8 o'clock this Thursday in Burbank, that one person is going to be there ready to clapper at

Flappers. He's the clapper of Flappers. Flappers Comedy Club, three top players, top men, maybe a lady, will be battling it out for a seat that Jeff Garland doesn't give a shit about. So we can move on with that

since Jeff is a duty head. Not a shithead. It's cuter. Now it's time for Watch This, Not That. The Lego movie is number one at the box office where it should remain for the whole year, if you ask me. And the number two movie is Three Days to Kill,

which doesn't even take place over the course of three days. Fuck you, Three Days to Kill. It's just a line of dialogue in the movie that's tossed off. I call bullshit. Watch Lego, not Costner. This has been Watch Lego, not Costner. Costner. This has been Watch Lego, not Costner. Now it's time for tweet relief. Tweets about movies at

Handron Seavey. I don't know what that name's about. I wonder if that's really his name. Handron Seavey. Handron Seavey tweeted, Jack White is definitely my favorite Johnny Depp movie. This has been

Tweet Relief. Tweets by someone named Handren. Prize bag, you guys. It is so chocked full of goodness. It is a beautiful, weird backpack that I got. It's one of those one-arm backpacks that I got from the Weezer Cruise,

but it's got a lovely Weezer Cruise logo on it, so that's something to be enjoyed. We've got a—she's not here tonight, but my friend Karen Kilgariff has a new record out on AST Records, so the vinyl version of that is going to be Somebody's, and we'll talk about that in a second, at Doug Loves Movies t-shirt. This is neat. Last night I got to see my friend Sleeper Agent, the band, play, and they gave me a vinyl copy

of their new single Waves, and it's signed by all of them. And I think they're going to be huge, so that's going to be a nice item for somebody. I'm just going to keep that. And then there's this weird thing. God, there's so much stuff in this bag,

you guys. Plan 9 from Outer Space on VHS. Yeah. Copy of Gateway, Doug. And a couple of movies. Perfect Storm and The Game. Wouldn't that be funny? Please welcome George Clooney and Michael Douglas.

And Sean Penn. All right, and one other thing in there that I will reveal in a moment after telling you to please welcome to the stage last week's returning Leonard Maltin game winner, Sam Levine, along with Louis Katz, Todd Sklar, and Mr. Leonard Maltin. Were you a gentleman? Did you hold the curtain open? Is that what happened?

Yeah, he was. You want to go in order of their names now. Oh, that's what happened. That's a good move. How's it go? All right. First rule, only speak when Leonard Maltin isn't. I wish your listeners could see the decor on this table tonight.

Well, that's a... And it's a trophy bag. You made me... You should run this whole thing, Leonard, because you're forcing me to introduce Todd Sklar, ladies and gentlemen. First time guest on the show. Probably...

Judging by that guy, the way he's doing... Not impressed. Who is he? Who is this guy? Did not want me here. Yeah, who is this guy? You brought trophies

that have the title of your movie, Awful Nice, that played last year at South by Southwest, which I did not see at South by Southwest, but you and your people were nice enough to send me a copy. And I watched it, and you directed it and co-wrote it. And when can people see it? How can they see it? You can get it on iTunes and VOD stuff right now, and it comes out in theaters on, oh, I should know this, like in a week or so.

March 7th? March 7th, yes. But it's on iTunes and VOD right now? Yes. Awesome. So go buy it and sell it to people. Watch the shit out of it. Watch the shit out of it, exactly.

It's so funny. It's really funny. Brett Gelman, of course, is a friend of mine who's been on the show. He plays like a crazy Russian, what are they, in construction? Wink. That's what they all are, right? That's what they all are. Exactly.

Especially in Branson. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I guess that's the most important thing to mention, is it's a movie about two guys for reasons that you'll see if you see the movie. They have to go to Branson. Has there ever been a movie? Maybe Leonard can answer this.

Leonard Maltin is here, everybody. Has there ever been a movie set in Branson? Not that I'm aware of. Yeah. Have you broken new ground? Yeah, right? I don't know if we broke new ground, but we definitely are the first.

Well, there was a documentary in the 80s that was set there, but it's not really a documentary. It's also not really in Branson, but it's called Branson. So check that out, if you will. Weird. And you do get to see lots of Branson in the movie, so I thought that was fun.

It was an interesting new setting. And Sam was joking around about Yakov Smirnoff, but he's in Awful Nice. He's the biggest thing in Branson right now. Well, actually, there's one other thing bigger. There's a new show called Six, which is six human voices, six guys. They do lots of songs, and they do this thing where they play all the instruments with no instruments. It's all with their voice.

So it's like the guy in Police Academy, and they're really bad at it. Wait, hey, he has a name. It's called Six. Michael Winslow is the guy from Belize. All the entertainment is based on the 80s. It's Jakob Smirnoff and the sound effect dudes. It's pretty special. Do they do an evening show or a luncheon show?

Three shows a day. It's the hottest show in Branson. There is no way the matinees in Branson are not beyond crowded. The matinee is like the 9 a.m. The hottest ticket in Branson is the matinee of any show. It's like, well, we're totally sold out for the matinee,

but we still have 600 tickets available for the 8 o'clock. Oh, no. No, that's too late for me. That's past my bedtime. I want these people to sing me to sleep at the matinee. Well, anyway, it's a really fun movie, and I really recommend that people check it out and laugh at it. The two guys that play the leads, what are their names again?

Pumphrey? James Pumphrey and Alex Rennie. And Alex Rennie. They're both so funny. You've worked with both of them before, right? Yeah, actually that was our first time with Pumphrey and Alex Rennie. And Alex Rennie. They're both so funny. And so you've worked with both of them before, right? Yeah. Actually, that was our first time with Pumphrey. Oh, okay.

We discovered him because of this place. We used to go to shows here and see him all the time. And Alex is... Oh, that makes sense. Because he's in a movie that Matt Walsh made called The High Road. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I assume there was some sort of connection there. For sure. And you brought a movie that does have the other guy,

Rennie. Alex Rennie is in, this is your first movie, and on the back, according to the San Francisco Examiner, this is Animal House Meets Clerks. I don't know if that's true. Well, what I would say to the San Francisco Examiner is it's National Lampoon's Animal House Meets Clerks.

Touche. Touche. That's what I would tell them. Sam was not proofreading for the examiner that day. Well, we had that movie, National Lampoon's Animal House was an answer recently, and I really insisted that the answer be the full title. They say National

Lampoon's, but you cleverly on the app, which we have to get to, you cleverly say uh it says also known as uh national animal well yeah because some people are going to look it up the other way and then get pissed off that it's not in the book when it is under its actual title smart you know what i had to do there was an odd movie i had to do that for people said i got a letter from a guy say why don't you have Gene Wilder's Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother?

I said, we do. He said, I can't find it. It's called The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother, but nobody knows that. So I actually had to put just a cross-reference so people could find it. Yeah, because anybody who wants to find that movie

deserves what they get. Because that movie, that's where Gene Wilder went off the deep end on that one, I think. Oh, well, there are others that are deeper ended. Well, no, they got worse. It got worse and worse, you know what I mean? As soon as he stopped working with Mel, it got a little dicey.

Is it his razor's edge? No, it's a comedy, but it's like, you know, Dom DeLuise plays a fat guy and you see why he's fat. Like, he's eating all the No, it's a comedy, but it's like, you know, Dom DeLuise plays a fat guy, and you see why he's fat. Like, he's eating all the time, and it's gross. Oh, jeez, I had no idea you felt that way. And also, I might be thinking of a different movie. Okay. Might be thinking of Fatso, directed by Anne Backcroft.

Remember that? Right, right. That was weird. So, Leonard, tell everybody what's going on with the Leonard Moulton movie app, because there was panic in the streets because I was

especially panicked because I thought well if the movie app goes away then the Leonard Moulton game is going to be very difficult

we'll have to go back to the old fashioned version we've got a copy of your book that you brought we'll have to go back to the

old fashioned version where we just you could retrain your thumb I have faith in you Doug you could retrain your thumb

to thumb the guide. It's still doable. It's still possible. Right, but then there's people like Sam Levine. Like, what letter do you think the movie I'm about to say begins with? What letter in the alphabet? It's probably somewhere in the D or E. Oh, okay.

So you're not as good at that as I thought you were. No, I guess not. Because it's pretty much halfway into the book. A lot of movies start with A. A lot of A movies, Doug. Yeah. But, so the app

still exists. Yeah, the newsflash is that, and I have nothing to do with this, my publisher is the one

who arranges any kind of a deal for electronic rights to the book and they're the ones who licensed this little company in New Jersey

to create the app based on the information in our movie guide. And they couldn't come to terms, apparently, with the developer. And they did a great job developing the app. Sure. And it's very user-friendly, and I thought they did a really nice job. But they could not reach an agreement for a new edition.

And so finally the publisher had to pull the plug. So if you've bought the app, you've still got it. You own it. It's on your device and it'll be there for the indeterminate future. But it's not being updated. It is

finite now. And you can't buy it anymore. So what I am saying, as I said on my website earlier this week, is we're hoping someone else will step forward who wants to recreate the app and also for the temporary future it seems no one will have to deal with In Theaters Now

which so many of us are grateful for just you basically but yeah that category is out because there's no new movies being added but there's plenty of movies to choose from on there and I'm going to keep using it. But I hope you get a new app going so we can move over to that one. And if one of your deep-pocketed listeners wants to step forward for that, that would be just fine.

Yeah, Sean Sacame. He always drops like $50,000 on the Smile Train every year. Come on, Sacame, pony up the dough. Two grand, 50 grand, whatever. I'm not good with numbers, Doug. Perhaps another relative of Larry Ellison would like to come forward. I don't know what that means, but I think that's

a great idea. His daughter, Megan Ellison, is getting a lot of praise because she started producing movies two years ago. She has a company called Annapurna Pictures. Oh, yeah, they did her. They did her. And they did American Hustle. That's right.

That's how well I remember the first thing you see. There you are. At last year, The Master and Zero Dark Thirty. So, you know, she's really created quite a track record. And at first, because anybody who comes to Hollywood with money to spend is embraced very quickly. But the difference between her and a lot of other suckers of years past is that she has good taste.

Or has surrounded herself with people who have good taste. And so she's backed very daring, unusual, and challenging movies by great filmmakers. So good luck to her and I hope she keeps doing it. You know what she's missing? What? An app. That's true.

In her portfolio. Right. She needs an app in her portfolio. Exactly so. Well put. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And so you brought not only a copy of the book version of your movie guide, but you also brought a, what is this? Like a sippy bottle? It's a reusable

water bottle to go green while sipping away. That says IMAX and McGillie Ray Freeman Journey to the South Pacific? Yeah, I hosted a Q&A for this really good new IMAX documentary and they gave little goodie bags

and I thought I would share the wealth in a very pauperly way. Yeah. This is a nice item. I dare to say probably the most treasured thing the winner tonight will have. Not alongside Plan 9 from Outer Space, but okay. All right.

Yeah, and Todd, you brought Plan 9 from Outer Space? Oh, no, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Louis Katz is here, everybody. And he brought a copy of his CD, If These Balls Could Talk. And... Thank you.

You don't even have to say anything. Just mention your album title. Sometimes it gets no laughs, and then I eat it before I even get on stage. So that's a... Oh, because the MC at a... Yeah, read the title, and then no one will laugh,

and then I've already failed before I even get there. It's really great. How could people not laugh if these balls could talk? Seems pretty simple to me. Yeah, I think it's evergreen. I'm going to try saying it a little later in the show and see what happens. And Sam the Man Levine, everybody.

Little Wolverine. Always brings us some DVDs from his collection. I bring the good stuff. He doesn't think he'll ever want to watch again. These are two movies that a lot of people have fondness for that I certainly would never feel the need to ever see

again. What? The Perfect Storm and The Game. Okay, The Perfect Storm you can see once and be good with, but the game absolutely benefits from repeat games. Yeah, you have to see it again. It really does. Really? I just re-watched it, actually. All right, I'll hang on to it then.

Wait a minute. I don't know, man. I hated it so much that first time. Are you kidding? You're just wrong. I'm not kidding. This is not even open to debate. You know it wasn't a big hit and didn't win any awards, right?

You know that, right? You know it didn't make a lot of money and didn't win any awards? Neither did Office Space. Okay. Oh, no. Office Space actually became quite popular. Oh, yeah?

It's quite popular. More people have seen... I bet you three times as many people have seen Office Space than the game. It's a comedy. I bet you. It's a genre thing. I can't...

The running time alone. Let's talk to Louie about this. You really think this fucking movie that I'm holding in front of Mr. Leonard Maltin, who told you it sucks, would you give it? Do you remember? I hated this movie.

Leonard, did it suffer from over-length? It suffered from a lot of things. It suffered from length. It's trippy, man. Is it the game? Is it not the game? You don't get into that?

No. All right. No, I don't, unfortunately, because I'm just sitting there the whole time going, well, you can't make a guy do a professional stunt. Hey, it's all part of it. Whoever wins the game tonight, watch it

and then report back to us. I say that about a lot of the stuff I give away and I never hear back. I think people think once they win they have to leave the country or something. Or just claim his income for tax purposes. All right. Well, there's plenty of movie talk we could get into, but we've got games to play.

Or one specific game to play. So let's get to it, you guys. Let the game begin. Gentlemen, some folks have made some name tags. Didn't you actually win the prize, the bag? Oh, look at him. Let me see your

name tag, though, George, that you crumpled up. Oh, it's not even that good anyway. It's just a map of something? What's it a map of? Mammoth, okay. All right, who are you playing for, Leonard Maltin? Funny you should ask.

I'm playing for Kate. Let me see that thing. Nice. And it's a hat. Is this a team logo? The Broncos. Better luck next year? Yeah.

Second place Broncos. I wanted that to be a more exciting game because it was the first packable. Todd, who are you? Oh my goodness, you got an elf. I'm playing for Malf and probably the entire population of Melmac, I believe. Is the person who brought that,

is their name really Malf? No, it's Mal. Mal? M-A-L? Mallory. Malf. Oh, I gotta get a picture of it. Who are you playing for, Louie? I'm playing for Rebecca Elizabeth Hoffman

and her passport is the actual name tag. So I got the name tag with the most street value. I can actually just sell this and make a ton of money. You know, this expires in December, so just heads up. Make the appointment now. Small window of time to get rid of this. And I'm playing for their bilby blood.

Okay, Doug. That's fine. I got what I needed. It was upside down. I can't imagine it. So Sam was upset when he got here and found out there were four guests because he feels that's unfair. You know

how on Jeopardy sometimes they just bring a fourth contestant on when Alex has a fucking whim? How would that hurt that game? It would just be harder for those players. I guess so. It would be harder for one to win. Yeah. So I think you're figuring out what I'm up to.

Can't even with you. No, I'd love to have you back next week, but you're going to be shooting a movie. I actually, yes. I occasionally do work, and I'll be shooting a film throughout most of March. So I don't know if I'll be able to be here. All right. Oh, thank you. Thank you for my occasionally working.

Thank you. Are you on location somewhere? I know we shoot here in L.A., which is a delight, because that doesn't happen. And a rarity. Yeah. Seems like you could show up then next Tuesday. It really does sound like you'd be here on the show. I don't know why. That's a problem. If I finish early enough, you could show up then next Tuesday. It really does sound like you'd be here on the show. I don't know why.

That's a problem. If I finish early enough, you know, show up. Oh, that's how we're going to play it? I don't want to sit here while you're in traffic. Neither do I. I don't want to pull a Jeff Garlin. I'll let you know. Okay.

We'll be in touch. All right. Well, also, you have to win first today. Fine. It's going to be a moot. I don't know. Did you win once, Leonard? Oh, no. I've got a...

I've got a... You did get a point once, though. I did get a point, which was miraculous in itself. That was exciting. Yes, yes. That was very cool when that happened. I've been looking at your app.

I don't know why they're on any new reviews. I can do a verbal review of Robocop or Winter's Tale if you'd like, but I don't think you want that. I think I do. Look at how it says, for Spectacular Now, I put a frowny face next to it because that's no longer going to be a category. I'm sad about it. All right, Sam, you get to go first because you did win last week.

Okay. And then we'll go to Louie just to... Why can't you shut up and just be happy for me? Wait a minute. Did you hear that? Son of a bitch.

Why can't you shut up and just be happy for me? Boogie Nights? Why can't you just shut up and be happy for me? Boogie Nights? Why can't you just shut up and be happy for me? The Fighter? It is The Fighter. You need Wahlberg on Retainer, Doug.

Man. That's a new game called Doing Lines with Mark. That was exciting. Yeah. Sam gets big category Would you like You're the dog now man And that's movies where a person turns into an animal Or At Captain Kirk B

Suggested Breakfast at Tiffany And that's a movie Where a diamond is swallowed Or Walter Mitty And that of course is movies where and that's a movie where a diamond is swallowed. Ah. Mm-hmm. Or Walter Mitty, and that, of course, is movies where Walter Matthau wears mittens. All good choices.

Let's do a person turns into an animal. The soft, warm life of Walter McGee. You want The Person and Animal? Yeah. You got it. This is from 2006 this year where A Person Turns Into An Animal. The movie, I mean. The year is 2006.

Two stars for Mr. Maltin. He says about this movie He says, Adults will bemoan the waste of talent. he says about this movie he says adults will bemoan the waste of talent in this movie yeah and he says that this movie takes a long time to

get to the funny stuff and funny and stuff are both capitalized because Leonard is serious about funny stuff. Everything. Yeah. And he lists a whopping 10 names.

How many names do you think you can get it in, smart guy? Negative one. Oh, right out of the gate, man. Louis Katz, what are you going to do with that? Do you have any idea what this movie might be? So you just have to hope Sam is barking up the wrong tree? No, I think he's feigning not confidence. He has total confidence.

He's making non-confident faces, but there's confidence behind that. That's a bluff. That's a definite bluff. I got nothing to work with. Alright, so just ask him to name it and we'll all cross our fingers that he really means that face. Name it. Is it Tim Allen and the Shaggy Dog? Yes, you asshole.

Oh, man. Wow. Wow. Wow. How does the man do it? Right. He even knew that you didn't give top billing to the actor who plays the title character. Robert Downey Jr. Oh.

Yeah. But that explains why he wakes up in strangers' houses. He sees a dog running around the neighborhood, and then he wakes up in strangers' houses. He's a dog running around the neighborhood, and then he wakes up in there. What exactly was Danny Glover doing in that movie? I've never seen the movie. You remember that Danny Glover was in that movie? Yes, I remember being surprised that Danny Glover was in that movie.

Yeah, Philip Baker Hall, Jane Curtin, Craig Kilbourne, Laura Keitlinger. Spelled wrong here, but... I forgot he's sitting right there her name's spelled wrong you should shut this shit down start from scratch and spell Kite Linger correctly

alright let's go to another round let's keep playing Sam's on the board with one point we'll start with we'll start with Todd. Director. Writer. Todd Sklar.

Karate expert. Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. Actually, I've never done karate. Not at all. I should also mention that the winner tonight is going to get these trophies, or do you just carry these around everywhere? Well, a little of both. But tonight, they get the trophies for sure. Okay. I got backups in the car.

And they have fun things written on them. One of them says, second place is the first loser. And the other one says, I used to fuck guys like you in prison. It was a real balls-to-the-wall prison. How only they could talk. Variation on a theme.

Very nice. Okay, so then we'll go to... We'll start with Todd, and then we'll go back to Louie. So Leonard might never even play. Entirely possible. If Sam has anything to do with it. The Notorious B.I.G.

is films with the word big in the title. Two Timing Bitch is dog movie sequels. Like a dog movie that has a sequel. And our friend Snitty on Twitter suggested Pineapple Express and that's a movie

Who said that? It's a good fucking movie, man. I'm happy. Happy to make a cameo. You guys take care. Which category did you want, Todd? I feel like I want to do the fruit one. Which one? The fruit one.

Okay. Just to see what's in that. Yeah, what's going on there? What is the category? This is the one where it's a movie where someone throws fruit. Okay. Three stars from Leonard Maltin for this movie from 1993. He calls it crowd-pleasing.

And he also says that one of the actors in this movie produced this movie with his wife yeah that's really helpful uh and 11 names are listed how many names you think you can get it in filmmaker todd sklar no relation to the Sklar brothers? Not yet. Okay. Let's say... Negative three. What is happening? Louis, what are you going to do with that? I don't even know what I can do.

You could go negative four. That's what you have to name. And I have to know the top four names. Top four Bill's people, yeah. In the right order. All right. You're going to say negative four? Wait, hold on, hold on. I can't believe this.

I can't get that fourth. I can't get that fourth. I can't get the fourth. Well, you can hope that he'll get the names in the wrong order or something. All right. Yeah, I'm going to hope that. Can I hope that? Yeah. All right, I'm going to hope that.

Just sit there and hope. All right. But say, name that movie, Todd Sklar. I fucking know the movie. Yeah, I know it too, man. It's killing us both. Name that movie. Okay. I am guessing and, man. It's killing us both. Name that movie. I am, I am,

I'm guessing and I'm hoping it's Mrs. Doubtfire with Robin Williams, Sally Field, and Pierce Brosnan. That is all correct. Damn.

Who is the fourth? Harvey Fierstein? Yeah, I was going to say Harvey Fierstein. I totally... Harvey Fierstein's the fourth. Is Philip Baker Hall fourth? No, it's Harvey Fierstein and I totally... Harvey Fierstein's number four, yeah. Is Philip Baker Hall fourth? No, it's Harvey Fierstein.

Wait, don't say it, don't say it. Oh, God, you show off. No, no, I don't. Who's fifth? Who's the daughter? That's tough. The daughter was... She won't be billed fifth.

Laura Wilson and then... Yeah, she got... Lawrence and... Much lower billing. But the next person. Rob Reiner? No, he's not even in there. But the next one is Polly Holliday, who of course played Flo on television.

Oh, really? Yeah, I would not have gotten Polly Holliday. She must be like, maybe she's the maid that gets fired or something. I don't know. I haven't seen it in a while, but as soon as this category idea came up, I thought of, it was a drive-by fruiting. That's all I thought of. Run by.

What? Run by fruiting. It's a run by fruiting. It's a run by fruiting. Did they say run by? Yeah. Because he had the pool. Yeah, he runs by.

Maybe he's a walk-by. But drive-by was the joke, right? I agree, but I'm going to defer to the gentleman who screamed that out. The man who's quoting Mrs. Doubtfire. On account of I trust him. I don't know which man is more disgusting, the one quoting it or the one that just got a point for going negative three.

Todd Sklar is on the board, you guys. Alright, let's where do we go next? Sam, what's going on here? Start with you? Okay. Alright, buddy. Start with you and then it comes back at you again,

Louie. Oh, fuck. Are you glad you showed up, Leonard? I'm glad he showed up. I really wanted Leonard to be here tonight to discuss the app. And also, before the show, when is the thing we did before the show going to come out? On my YouTube channel. Yeah, go to Leonard's YouTube channel. Is it youtube.com slash Leonard Moulton?

Yes. Okay. Absolutely. And you will see footage of the three of us, Sam and Leonard and I, sitting backstage on a couch too close to each other. Very close. We discussed the Academy Awards. Discussing the Academy Awards. Yeah.

So go check that out, everybody. And, you know, people that are listening can check it out, too. Not just people that are here. It's great. Thank you for adding that. It's a great system. Yeah. I can't believe we didn't mention it.

Very generous of you. Thank you. Oh, well, you know. That's all I am, is generous. Sam, would you like Ice Ice Baby, which of course is the films of Ice-T, Ice Cube, or Jennifer Grey? Or would you like Whistleblowers, and that's movies that have a lifeguard in them?

Or would you like Honey, Boo, Boo? And that's Jessica Alba bombs. Jessica Alba movies that Leonard gave the bomb rating to. Whoa. Yeah, let's do that. You like that one? Sure. Okay, this one is from 2010.

As I said, it's a bomb. This one is from 2010. As I said, it's a bomb. Leonard says about this movie that... Oh, boy. He says there's an alarming finale in this movie. Which I don't think I remember that. But he also says,

I think this might be the first time you've ever used this in a review. Do you think you use the expression wee-wee very often? I didn't even know how wee-wee was officially spelled, but you spell it W-E-E-W-E-E. Or O-U-I O-U-I, depending on the context.

The French version. Yes, right. Because you say this movie has wee-I, depending on the context. The French version. Yes, right, right. Because you say this movie has wee-wee gags in it. Wee-wee gags. And the alarming finale. And the number of names listed is... 14?

Wow. 14 names, Sam. Negative two. Oh, man. All right. I'm going to change the name of this to the Leonard Moulton Likes to Watch Game. What, Mark? Donnie's fucking car won't start.

Invincible. Invincible. You guys are welcome. Be here another three to two minutes. Oh, no, that's Rockstar. Fuck it. What, are you just fucking yelling shit at me? I guess so.

I'm sorry, Mark. Donnie's fucking car won't start. What What do you think Louis should do, Mark? Go with the first one. Can you hear when you're standing back there? Well, no, just fucking be decisive, bro. It's all different movies now. I don't think he knows what's happening. I don't know what to do now

I go with the first script I get each month Fucking smart right? What you think Max Payne picked itself? Huckabees? No I was in that I feel like we're literally driving around in a vagina. I feel like we're literally driving around in a vagina. I feel...

Somebody in the audience knows it. Like we're literally driving around in a vagina. That sounds like Huckabee. The other guys. I feel like we're literally... Is that official? The audience member said it. The audience member said the other guys?

That's because that dude knows good fucking movies. There it is. You ever try to page somebody from a cell phone? Wait, you're going to stay out here now? Is that how this works now? I'm waiting for fucking Donnie. All right. We've got to finish this game, bro. All right, you guys do your thing.

All right, dude. What's the matter? You don't know fucking Shakespeare, smartass? Departed. Look at these people. Genius. That's a crowd pleaser. You know, he's been in more movies than I realized.

Yeah, he's worked a lot. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. First-oh Uh-oh First of all, you guys, you know, don't offer me a seat I'll just be here burning fucking calories Have a Mark Bar The correct thing is, I've been in more good fucking movies Than you realize

Or great, I'll give you the word And it does feel like we're driving around in a vagina Because it's warm, right? It's extra hot in here It's extra hot in here tonight It's extra hot in here tonight. I thought it was just a great... I gotta go. I'm fucking out of here.

All right, go already. Hey, it was good to see you, Doc. We talked about it before the show. I'm like, yeah, in between each round, come out and do one of those. And he hasn't come out at the right part once.

All right, so, Louis? Name it. I don't remember what we're talking about, but name it. Little Focker's De Niro Stiller? Sam Levine's our winner. Yeah! I have seen that one. I didn't know she was in that movie.

Yeah. It's another one of her great comedy roles. What are the different wee-wee gags? She's only been in a handful of movies. I figured it was like that or Blue Crush. What else could it be? Yeah, walk us through your process. Dark Angel, the movie.

I don't know. what else could it be? Yeah, walk us through your process. The movie? I don't know. How are you so smart? Tell us how that works. Oh, please. This is the absence of actual knowledge. With enema, vomit, wee-wee, and E.D. gags?

Oh, erectile dysfunction. How? What? Why did you write E.D.? What? Why did you write ED? And then how did you know that? Because I watch Major League Baseball. And they talk about it there a lot? Every fucking commercial break. Oh, okay.

And they call it ED? Yep. Oh, okay. I never heard of such a thing. It's very common. It happens to a lot of guys. Way more than you'd think. Just saying. You should maybe talk to your doctor about it, Doug.

The whole dispiriting endeavor leads to an alarming ensemble finale that sets up yet another sequel. Do you remember what was so alarming about the finale? Just that it was there. Found it terribly alarming that the movie continued. Yes. And then ended. What kind of game? Nothing more to say.

All right. That's fair. Yeah, I'm not really on board with the Fokker movies. I personally feel like De Niro would have a better and more distinguished career right now if someone didn't tell him he was funny. You know, like if he didn't start starring in comedies all the time. Like, Analyze That. That's

where I draw the line. That's a funny movie. No, no. The first one, Analyze This. Yes, Analyze That was just the same movie again. Harold Ramis R.I.P. Oh, yeah. Can we talk about Harold Ramis? We can. We've got time. No minutes.I.P. Oh, yeah. You know, can we talk about Harold Ramsey? We can. We've got time.

No minutes. Go. What? It's just, it's so sad. It is. And God, what a great filmmaker he was and what a great comic

and a great writer. Yeah. And National Lampoon's Vacation, which he directed, I watched that probably twice a week from 14 to 20. Like,

I loved that movie so much. And Ghostbusters. The list goes on. Yeah, it does. A hand for Harold Ramis. Yeah, he... I'm really bummed about that. He co-wrote four of the 100 funniest movies,

according to AFI. Wow. And I hope I can reel them off for you now. Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Caddyshack, and Animal House. Yeah. National Lampoon's Animal House. Is Mark Wahlberg still here? I don't see him behind you.

Jesus. Okay. But anyway, yeah, he was great. And I did a Doug Loves Minis episode where I talked a little bit about him. And did you, you probably had, were kind of hit and miss with his career, probably. Like a lot of his stuff was probably a little juvenile for your taste. On and off. But, I mean, the sheer volume of really successful, really popular comedies.

I don't know who else has got a filmography like that. As a writer and a director and a performer. Yeah, he did it all in a lot of those movies. Now with Ghostbusters 3, I hope it just really never happens. Shouldn't happen. Oh, no just really never happens it shouldn't happen you remember he only had that one scene in As Good As It Gets but you loved him he was so good

he was so good in that he was so believable he's great, he's really good dude that's our moment of fun it's a fun way to end the show well no, the way to end the show Well no The way to end it

Is to everyone Watch a Harold Ramis movie As you're listening to this When the podcast is over Put on a Harold Ramis movie Well there's a specific one That I recommended Called The Ice Harvest

Yeah with Cusack Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton Yeah I've never seen that It didn't get much attention No but you're right That is actually a really good movie Really violent

It's really dark comedy Good twists Oliver Platt's really good in. Really violent. It's really dark comedy. Good twists. Oliver Platt's really good in it. Like, he has an extended drunk scene that's, like, he's good at that. Like, that's hard to do. And he does it well.
