Yeah. And then this next prize is genuinely cool and if I had a record player I probably would have kept it for myself. It's a box set of

Steve Martin albums on vinyl. Yeah, it's pretty exciting. Just put out by Rhino Records and they sent me one and I was like thank you and then now it would This is pretty exciting. Just put out by Rhino Records. And they sent me one. And I was like, thank you. And then now it would just sit and collect dust. And I think somebody should play it on their phonograph. All right, so somebody's going to win all of that stuff tonight.

And to make that happen, we need three guests on stage. Are you ready to meet my guests tonight, everybody? Yeah. Yeah, all right. Let's keep that enthusiasm going for Mark Ellis, Sabrina Jalis, and Rocky Roberts. Yay. You could sit closest to me, Mark.

Thank you, Doug. Yeah, because you don't have any beverage whatsoever. No, I don't. People with beverages need to sit next to the beverage stool. That was a good, hearty round of applause, actually. Right. Thank you, everybody. They kept it going all during our talk

about where you were going to sit and all that stool talk. And they just kept clapping. They were like, we don't need to hear any of this we're gonna keep clapping we're gonna keep on clapping let's meet my guests individually and alphabetically by you know how I like to do it by first name he won on the most recent episode of the show because he knows Peter Dinklage is in Game of Thrones. It's Mark Ellis everybody! Thank you everybody.

I'm a little embarrassed looking back on my performance, how long it took me to connect that there was a character, there's an actor who's in Game of Thrones who's also an elf and it took me like a good 35 seconds. I was like, I don't know. I got nobody. And then I remembered that Dinklage plays somebody who's not an elf in the movie. And I pulled out the W.

All right, well, I have to just mention the Corrections Department lit up with complaints about when I was talking to you and Clark Wolfe. Oh, yeah, the Karen Black thing? The Karen Black thing. I confused Karen Black with Margo Kidder. Because we were talking about who was in Black Christmas. And I was like, well, of course Karen Black

was in Black Christmas. It's like perfect casting. It's not called Kidder Christmas. But anyway, yeah, Margo Kidder and Karen Black, both terrific actresses who I confused with one another. I did too. I blame the word Black Christmas. Yeah.

I mean, look, Black Christmas, anytime somebody says Black Christmas when you're talking about your favorite Christmas movies, it just throws people off. You know? Not that it's a bad movie. I like horror Christmas movies. But people get a little standoffish.

You know? They don't really know how to approach it. If you say your favorite holiday movies black Christmas everybody's like oh wait a minute hold on allowed yeah right it's like that wasn't allowed and we were kids so you know I stick with the classics I stick with a Christmas Carol and the Garfield Christmas special thank you table three Mark Ellis answer of questions not asked. So but thanks for being here, dude.

Thanks, Doug. I'll take some mustard. Get it? Nobody asked him. All right. We practiced that. Also joining us tonight, this is all improvisation. He is appearing with me on my holiday Tate show that I mentioned earlier in Irvine on December 26. It's Rocky Roberts!

Hello, that's me. Hi, I'm Rocky. Hi. How's it going, Rock? Good, how you doing? I'm good. I'm glad you got on the text chain that we were all supposed to wear hats, baseball hats. I did, thank you. And I've got a stupid beanie on, because I didn't get the word. But thank you for being here. Thank you. You know how much I love talking to you about Rocky movies, because your name is Rocky, and it's just a painfully obvious thing to do.

I'm a Rocky II baby. Yeah. OK, yeah. Rocky II. My question. OK, yeah. Rocky II. My question is, is Rocky I, because people love to argue about these things, is the original Rocky a Christmas movie? Christmas takes place during the movie, so.

Right. I watch every movie, and if I see Christmas, I go, oh, that's a Christmas movie. Right? Any, even if it's just a minute of Christmas, it kind of makes it a Christmas movie. Right? It's like just a minute of Christmas. Eyes wide shut it's a Christmas movie. Same thing yeah these are Christmas movies. Yeah okay.

These are for the family. That's why like Die Hard 2 is a Christmas movie but it's a lot less Christmasy than Die Hard 1 but it still takes place on Christmas Eve. I think Lethal Weapon like three or something is also. Or number one they have Christmas. One is for sure but I think three also is. Yeah three or something is also Number one they have Christmas One is for sure I think three also is Yeah, yeah, yeah, well it's you know

I watch them all during the season of giving Yeah Even if there's not Christmas today I'm like yeah it counts it's in the franchise I mean you have to make a movie that takes place only within like an eleventh month period to be absolutely sure to skip December and have no Christmas stuff in the movie.

You have a month long gap. Yeah, you gotta just, shit has to take place just in spring. Rocky IV, definitely a Christmas movie. Because they're fighting in the snow, they're working out in the snow. Pauly gets the robot for Christmas and then Rocky has to fly, get on a plane like the next day to fly to Russia to train to fight Ivan Drago. And so they spend New Year's in Russia. I think there's more Christmas in Rocky IV than Rocky V.

There's a lot of snow. Was that Stallone's real kid in that one? I believe so, yeah. That was five, right? Yeah, because he had an actor kid in over the top. Yeah. So I was always suspicious about all of that. I'm getting less confident the more you guys talk about Rocky

because I haven't seen the movies. I have to know this. I've won one of these before. I came in here being like, I'm going to fucking win. And now I feel like a dick that's just shriveled into itself. You got a cool hat, though, man. Thank you. That's covering the end of the shriveled dick.

Let's go ahead and do your intro. Come on. Why not? Let's do it. She your intro. Come on. Why not? Let's do it. She is a champ. They deserve to know. Because she took out in a recent performance the one and only Jeff Tate.

Wow. Yeah. Can you believe that? That's some intimidating shit right there. Oh, and by the way, it's Sabrina Jolisse. Thank you so much. Thank you guys. Now, what's the deal with, as a Canadian, and a comedian, how do you feel about Christmas movies? Because you've seen them your whole life, right. We don't have Christmas in Canada.

So to be in America, we're at all on full. But you still have to, every December you hear about, you know. Every December we just look down and we hope we can see the shining of the trees below. I love Christmas movies. Really the question should be as someone who had like just, my father's Pakistani, he isn't Muslim, but that whole family, no one's doing anything Christmas. And then I have a Swiss mom who's very like money conscious.

Christmas had to be like kind of eeked out of these two. You know, like my mom would buy some things on sale, wrap them, my dad would be like, why did you do that? It just was very like, I was fighting for my connection with Christmas. And you were obsessed with Christmas because of all the American media about it? It was what I couldn't have.

No, the American media, I mean, everyone's doing Christmas in Canada. Right. Yeah, I thought that was a thing up there. But you fell for it when I said that they weren't. Well, because it's called something different or is it My mind around that this whole time I totally bought it too because like on the calendar it always says Christmas is December 25th and then Canada's big day is boxing day the next day the next day

Yeah, I guess I don't know why you guys don't do that here It's like don't you have a surplus of stuff the day after? It's like the way Halloween candy is like 70% off the day after Halloween. What are you doing with all this surplus? You got to do Boxing Day. No, we keep it. We have everything you have in Canada, except for the internet.

What day was Jesus born where you're from? I think April 19. That sounds right. I was going to say, it makes no geographical sense that Santa Claus is leaving from the North Pole, and he just flies over Canada and just like, fuck you. And then he goes right to Minnesota as his first stop. Like, that doesn't make sense.

He skips so quickly. But then if you saw the way TV and movies were distributed in Canada, you'd be like, it makes all the fucking sense. What's the best Canadian Christmas movie? The best Canadian Christmas movie? The best Canadian Christmas movie? Mom at 16 starring me, Jane Krakowski, and Mercedes rules. That has Christmas at one point? I'm... cuz you're pregnant. I shot it had never had sex with a man, still have never had sex with a man, but was pregnant in the movie.

So that's got evokes sort of Jesus vibes. That is very Mary. Was it? Yeah. I mean, that's how the guy. That's very Mary. Yeah. Yeah, she just, she just, but Joseph.

There's something about Mary and I have that commonality. She was famously never with another person. She was never with a man. I mean, isn't that story though, like when we really think about it, I mean, what a cool closeted lesbian that didn't have to have sex. Or no, no, no, actually, no, isn't it like a woman that's just having secret sex?

I mean, there's a lot of nights that she told Joseph, I'm just too tired. Like there's a lot of that. Or maybe she was a lesbian and she was like the first donor situation where she was like jerk off in this cup. Yeah. I'm ovulating. Yeah, and then we'll let Gabriel take care of it.

The angel will put the pieces together. See, this is the, I don't know who Gabriel is, but he sounds like a good guy. I'm teaching Bible study tomorrow. I'll find out. I'll get back to you guys. We'll figure this out. Let me tell you something just for the people at home

and in the audience. This mic doesn't smell good. You got the old one. It smells a little, it's got a little belly button vibes. No. You think somebody did that classic bit where you shove the microphone into your big old belly button and rub it around?

Exactly. I think we're probably all thinking of the same comic who probably shoved that microphone into their belly button. Rose and bar. Did you say that? That was good. Well, now that we've met y'all, I've got to know you a little bit and learned all about Canada

and Boxing Day. Belly buttons. I'd like each one of you to recommend. We're just, you know, we've got a little bit of holiday season left by the time people hear this, but could you recommend a holiday film? We'll start with Mark. Yeah, so I recommended the George C. Scott

A Christmas Carol from 1984 on Doug's show, last time I appeared, to very little fanfare. Not a big reaction. What kind of reaction are you looking for? I don't know. I thought maybe more comments on Instagram would be like, hey, great call, Mark. So I am actually going to make a Canadian Christmas movie

recommendation, technically. Mom at 16. It's a Christmas Carol, but it's the one that Robert Zemeckis did that's sort of animated-ish with Jim Carrey as Ebenezer Scrooge and he's Canadian, so there's your connection. And it's great. If you haven't seen it, it's great. It's like, it's kind of like scary and like haunting.

Yeah, like Polar Express scary. I've never seen Polar Express. What? I've never, it just looked weird. You're telling me you looked just like the kid in the movie. I've never seen the movie. He's got really big weird eyes. You don't have weird eyes. I do have big weird eyes.

But that's the thing. With The Christmas Carol, that process that Zemeckis was fucking around with had gotten better, I think. There's just a lot of imagery in polar Express It's like supposed to look human, but it you know looks very You know it was it was warning us about AI that movie is it it just well It's funny you bring that up It always reminded me more of like that that coca-cola with the polar bears commercial than like an actual movie and now coax and hot

Water because they used AI in their most recent Polar Bear Coke Christmas commercial. Wait, who's getting Coke in trouble for using AI? That feels very what Coke would do. Well, I mean, they're not in hot water. It's not like they're being investigated. It's just people are like, ah, you assholes. And then we'll still drink Coke. Of course.

So yeah. Yeah, people who like Coke want their Coke. It's delicious. My son hasn't even tried Coke, and he's like, oh, when I get to have a sip of Coke. I'm like, where did you get? Is it just a chip they put in the hospital in America? Pretty much.

Pretty much. Probably loves McDonald's, though, right? Yeah. Yeah, so like, you know, kids are seeing at McDonald's that all the adults are getting Coke, you know? So it true pretty sexy It's a true story every I have one coca-cola classic a year and it's on Christmas morning Coke is to kids what Christmas is to Canadians give it to me. Oh, we're not sure if it's real. Why can't I have it?

But it's like but it's like it's all comes from Christianity in the United States. Is that just, is it the same thing in Canada? Oh, Doug, you'll love the Christians in Canada. But so are there a lot of people that just blow off Christmas in Canada? Is that why? No, I mean, I think Canadians in general is like, Canada's, I think when you can't immigrate to America, a lot of people end up in Canada. And so there's more diversity maybe. And so maybe there's less Christians maybe?

I mean, I don't know what the fuck. There's less people in the whole country of Canada than the state of California. Right. God, it's just an untamed wilderness up there. Somebody just dropped their jaw on the floor. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Teeth are spilling out. We need to go on a mission, guys. We need to go on a mission, guys. We need to go on a mission to Canada to teach them Christmas. Doug, we have to share these movies before we move on. I know. What was yours, Mark?

A Christmas Carol, Jim Carrey. Well, you're just going to keep, if I have you on again, you're going to just name another version of A Christmas Carol. I'm going as hard as I can. You like them all. Jim Carrey also can name them. I'll go all the way back to what's the dude's name?

Owl-baster, Alistair. Ebenezer? Yeah, the first guy who played Scrooge. Albert Finney played him. Sure. But there was a guy like Alistair or something like that. One of those old timey names. Michael Caine.

That's the year thing. There you go. There you go. Yeah, with the Muppets. OK. God, he's good in that movie. Doug, are you scoring us right now? He's intense in that movie.

No, I'm just writing down Christmas Carol, Jim Carrey, blah, blah, okay. God, he's good in that movie. Christmas hit. Doug, are you scoring us right now? He's intense in that movie. No, I'm just writing down Christmas Carol, Jim Carrey, blah, blah, blah. Rocky, what's your holiday recommendation? Please say Rocky IV. No, I was gonna go with Lethal Lip when we talked about it. I wanna say Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Excellent, that's an excellent choice. I think a lot of people don't realize,

but that's a Christmas movie. What happens in that movie? Well, I don't know, but it happens two times twice. It's kind of a noir detective thing, but it's semi-groundbreaking at its time because it's a buddy picture, but Robert Downey Jr. is straight, and Val Kilmer is gay. And then conflicts arise that aren't specifically for that reason. They just, their personalities don't mesh.

But it's really funny. It's got a lot of very funny lines, a lot of clever dialogue. I think it was written by the same guy that wrote Lethal Weapon, right? Shane Black wrote it. Yeah, Shane Black. Yeah, it was like a real, like, he had some great screenplays, you know, that in this particular case,

he directed it himself. Yeah. It was really good. That's one of my favorite. In real life, I feel like Robert Downey Jr. has probably done more gay stuff than Val Kilmer. Oh, for sure 100%. Have you seen Less Than Zero?

No. I've seen it less than zero times. Val Kilmer had a head start with Top Gun. He set the bar, and then Robert's like, man, I really got to play a lot of volleyball. But after that, yeah, pretty much Robert ran the table from a gay perspective. Yes, yes, yes, yes.

All right, Sabrina, what's your recommendation? OK, when I say it, because I know you guys can do call and response, I'm going to say the movie, then you guys are going to say, come on, bitch. Ready? What? But then I'm going to make them say something nice to me later. OK, so I'm going to say the movie,

then you guys are going to say, come on. OK, ready? The holiday movie is Home Alone. Come on, bitch. OK, wait a second. I just rewatched it at Viddiots. I just rewatched it at video It's I just rewatched it at video. It's and then after I explained you guys go Back without you asking for it ahead of time

I want to interact and I know that they can do call-and-response because the thing that they did with you earlier, right? But they all love home alone. Okay, great Okay, so then after so I'm gonna finish a sentence and then you guys are going to go, Oh, bitch, we love you. Okay. So the reason why is because I rewatched it. And what I love about Home Alone is the, the tapping of the planes, trains and automobile character, John Candy is in there talking to Catherine O'Hara. Oh, you're right. Classics. You bitch. Yeah. It whatever I was supposed to say. Good call, bitch. What are we supposed to say? Bitch, we love you. And we're attracted to you. You're so hot.

Bitch. A bitch is the only part I remember. Marry me. Guys, can you get it together? So that's that. Bitch. Oh, bitch. OK, well, I do not feel supported.

All right, so we've got. I think they're still reeling from the Christmas is it in Canada or not thing. We've got a Christmas Carol. My shovel dick. Christmas Carol and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Home Alone Bitch. That's a good night. That's a good night of Christmas movie binging you're doing.

Yeah. Yeah. A little something for everybody. I think, yeah.. Yeah. Little song for everybody. I think, yeah. Got something for the little kiddos, something for the middle-aged, something for the adults. I'm on board for all of it. But we can't watch those movies right now, because we've got some games to play. After these commercial messages, we'll be right back!

We're back. Yay. During the break, we decided who my guests are going to play on behalf of and Sabrina is playing for, Sarah is playing for Captain Sierra and Rocky is playing for Captain Sierron and Rocky is playing for Mars Mataks and Mark is playing for Chelsea of Love or To If By Chelsea, whichever you prefer in any given moment. All right, so we're going to play three games to determine who wins today. And we're starting with something that I call, where is it? Alex is the natural building of suspense. Yeah. Alex, let's go to commercial again. No, Alex is Jason and Deb's IMDB game. Yay. All right. Here's how this works. People on IMDB, all the people on there have what

they call a best known for. We'll say four titles of movies, sometimes TV shows, of projects that they've been in that they are allegedly most known for. Sometimes it's an algorithm, sometimes the particular actor will pick the movies and shows themselves. It's always hard to know which it is, but you gotta think in terms of stuff they've done

that's very popular or award winning or notable in some way. Uh, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to start reading somebody's best known for when you think you know who it is, you buzz in with your own name, just say your name into the microphone and I will will call on you, and then you guess. But here's the thing, if you guess wrong, that's a negative point, so you don't want that to happen. Because if you guess correctly, you not only get one point, but you also get a bonus point for each additional movie

in that person's top four that you can name. But the main thing is to get in there not too early. Some people buzz in on the very first title and then that's a... How do you know the top four? Because you don't have a computer here. Well, I wrote it down. Oh, got it. Nope, it's all from memory. My stoner-ass memory. Steel trap up there.

Yeah, yeah. No, I wrote it all down. And I did it as of today. If an actor changed their top four tonight, then I wouldn't know about it. It's at press time, as they like to say. OK, so but a theme will potentially emerge, especially because this is a holiday episode of the show. So that's, you know, also another way you

might be able to buzz in earlier. But like, for instance, let's start with our first round. The first movie is Mean Girls, which features a lot of actors. Yeah, there's a lot of people in there. A lot of actors and actresses in Mean Girls. Sabrina. But you have a gut feeling that you know which one it is that I'm talking about. Who is? It's going to be negative one point if you guess wrong.

But this is this person's number one movie, right? Right. That's true. Lindsay Lohan. But it could be first on many people yeah but it's Lindsay in the cast it's not Lindsay Lohan man what is she more known for than that oh well I mean I don't know about Lindsay but you're gonna find out who this is a little bit yeah we use you're out for the rest of this round.

Negative one's not insurmountable. Captain Sierra and we'll rise again. OK. Rocky and Mark both hanging back now that Lindsay Lohan's been taken. Either one of you want to buzz in? Not yet. It's hard because it's like there's a loose ball like you just want to jump on it. I know and I think I think I might know but... Well let's see if the second title helps you. The second title is Lost in Space. Rocky. Who is it? Lacey Shambray? Sham... Shamalama...

Lacey... Shamadadadoo? Lacey Shambray? Sham-wow. Sham... I mean, how strict should I be about this, Mark? It's the holidays! I like hearing Rocky continue to try to sound it out.

Sham... Sham... Sham-wow. It just keeps sound it out. Sham, sham. Sham wow. It just keeps making it worse. Sham, sham. Lacey sham, sham break. Do you know it? No.

Because can I come back from the dead? No, you can't. God damn it, you're so strict. I know it. I know it. That's why I can't give it to him, because he's not saying it right. Yeah, he's not saying it right.

Oh my god. I got it. OK. So Mark, I don't know if you learned how to pronounce her name between now and the end of these four titles, but you get to hear them all. Good, it's gonna help. So the next one is not another teen movie.

Sweet. Co-starring our friend Sam Levine. Sam Levine. God, I know how to say her name. The fourth one is, she was in the Black Christmas that came out in 2006. I also just gave away that it's a lady. I mean, I think we know the nuts and bolts of this name,

thanks to Rocky. But I got it. Do you want to take a swing? No, because I'll lose a point, right? Oh, that's a good point. Am I going to lose a point? I forgot about the losing a point part. I can't.

It sounds like we should all lose a point. Yeah, come on. Why should I lose a point part. I can't like it sounds. I think we should all lose a point. Yeah, come on. Everybody except for Bart. I think you know why you should lose a point. It's Lacey Chabert. Chabert! I think Canadian. Chez Braylouet.

Party of Five. Party of Five was the show that I was. You were right there. That was so close. I've never heard of this individual, but what an IMDB. Congrats! You don't know Lacey Chabert? She was the original Meg Griffin.

She's the star of Hot Frosty on Netflix. I got nothing. No. OK. She's doing a lot of Lifetime now. But you just have never experienced the original Mean Girls. I've seen Mean Girls. Oh, okay

No idea. There's a lot like you said, you know a lot of them in there. There's a lot of people in that movie, dog Yeah, so we're all the same score. No Mark is in the lead at this point with zero By virtue of my complete and utter stupidity here we go round two All right buzz in with your own name When you think you know who it is Sabrina Yeah, that counts she likes to go hard The first title is beyond pardon me behind

Crucial behind the candelabra No, we're speaking the audience, please The second title, Wall Street. Rocky. I think Rocky got a little bit ahead of Mark. What is it Rocky? Who is it? Michael Douglas.

Michael Douglas is correct. That is the right answer. God damn it. You done did it Rocky. And now, holy crap Rocky you're not only brought yourself to zero. Yeah. But you also get two guesses of two more Michael Douglas films and if you get either of them right then they're worth a point each. Guesses other top movies? Yeah what's what else is in is it top four named two more Michael Douglas movies

That are Avengers endgame and one more Avengers infinity war Can we buzz in no But you know, I'm always interested to know what you think but the answer in this particular case is fatal attraction and Romancing the Stone. Oh! Whoa, really? I was going to say both of those things!

I was going more current. Yeah, no, yeah, you went big with the comic book movies. Yeah, because if they're going by popularity and box office, they would certainly be up there. But I feel like Michael Douglas had a hand in this, because those are certainly four of his performances. If you go by the amount of times I rewound a scene, it would be basic instinct.

Basic instinct, yeah. Yeah, he's not in that scene. OK, so. He's watching it. Oh, yeah, he's there, right? He's watching the thing. I forgot that he's there, because I never see his beaver. Such a great scene.

It's nine dudes just like, whoa. Yeah, and one of them is fucking Newman from Cycle. He's sweating. He's the sweaty one. Well, because he's got that dinosaur egg in his pocket. He's a little nervous about it. All right. So congratulations, Rocky.

You're now tied with Mark with nothing. And our third round starts with a motion picture called La La Land. La La Land. Brayden wants to buzz in so bad. I want to buzz in, but I've been burned by being eager. Second movie, easy A. Rocky.

Who is it, Rocky? Emma Stone. Emma Stone is correct. No, I was going to Emma Stone is By said it Well done whips or damn it nicely done Rocky Two more oh, yeah, okay, you get a name two more Emma Stone movies Rocky for two more potential price shit or you have my score this this isn't her just just two of her Biggest on IMDb?

Yeah, well, yeah, just what she's most known for. Shit. Poor Things. And? Superbad. I love Superbad as a guess, but no. You get one right. Poor Things is her third most known for,

and number four, The Help. Help. Big movie, but also kind of weird. OK, so you got one more point there. So you're up to, Rocky, is two points. And we don't need to discuss the rest of the points. We're hanging in the game. It's still anybody's game. Now, especially if you buzz in early the rest of the points. We're hanging in the game. Still anybody's game.

Now, especially if you buzz in early and get some bonus points. You never know. God, I should have done it. You can do this. I'm scared from buzzing in early earlier. So far we got Lacey Chambourlet. We got Michael Douglas, not Michael Keaton, who's going to go back to Michael Douglas for reasons

I don't completely understand. What? And then we also have Emma Stone who of course if you know where she goes by Emily. So our fourth round starts with a television program called Alias. The next title I gotta watch everybody on this one, is 13 going on the first. Mark. Sabrina! Mark got it first. Who is it? I almost buzzed in early, pulled a Sabrina, as we say, and was gonna guess Bradley Cooper, but I'm gonna go Jennifer Garner.

Jennifer Garner is correct. Why did I ever? Thank you. Now, if you name two more Jennifer Garner movies that are on this list, you will win this game. All right. But you'll tie it up if you get one more point. The Capital One Venture commercials do not count.

They should. They should. I got one in my pocket right now. Though I don't carry a wallet. What's in your wallet? I don't have a wallet. They should get Martin Sheen to do one of those ads because that's what he says in Wall Street he says he screams the word wallet all right

two more stop stalling mark sorry Jennifer Garner movies yeah name two of them oh my god that'd be a tough quiz for you just on its own right no all right um Jennifer Garner Flix, let's go with, we already said 13.130. Let's go with Electra. And just recency bias, I'm going to go with Deadpool and Wolverine. OK. The audience loved it.

Yeah. But neither of those are on the list. They went with Daredevil, which introduced her as Electra. Oh, gosh loved it. Yeah. But neither of those are on the list. They went with Daredevil, which introduced her as Electra. Oh, gosh damn it. That's the one. Yeah. And then they also went with Juno. Juno, uptight lady who wants a baby.

So yeah, you didn't gain any more points there, Mark. So it's official. Rocky wins this game. Woo! Woo! You're're gonna buy a record player dude. Now some of you might be saying to yourself Doug there was a bunch of movies in that game none of them were Christmasy there's nothing Christmasy about almost any of that except for Black Christmas with Lacey Chambourlet so I just want to

point out at this point that all four of the actors that we played in this game are Co-stars of a movie that I'm sure mark would enjoy called ghosts of girlfriends pass Girlfriends go some girls friends pass which is yet another and so funny. We kept talking about Christmas Carol And I knew that this was going to be this movie was going to be played later in the game. But you know, I never know what we're going to talk about before we get started. And guess what?

Rocky wins basically the opportunity to go first in our next game. So in this game, it's going to go Rocky, then Sabrina, and then Mark. And it's a game that I call Wonka or Wanker. I will say a quote and then Mark will have to tell me if it is something that was said by OG Willy Wonka, Gene Wilder or something that was said by young Wonka,

Timothy Chabert or if it was said by just some fucking wanker so anybody else like I said mark is up first so if he misses it rocky gets a crack in the rock is the right to go first what's that a rocky won the last game that's right I should write these things down. R-O-C-K in the USA. I think he's high, I think he's high. Okay, it goes Rocky, then Mark, and then Sabrina. No, that's Sabrina, that's me. No, I know, I said it wrong earlier.

I said it wrong earlier. Fine, I'm happy to go second. Yeah, yeah. Sorry, Sabrina. No, it'll be okay. I know you're ready to go. Look, at this point, I'm no longer even a penis. I'm just the balls.

I mean, the balls are super important. I wouldn't say just the balls. For someone who's never fucked a man, it's weird that I picked this analogy. OK. OK, so like I said, Sabrina's up first. I'm kidding. So it goes Rocky, Denmark, then Sabrina.

So Sabrina, you could in that spot, if these first two don't get it right, you could just get the point. I love that kind of system. There's three options. OG Willy Wonka, young Willy Wonka, or some wanker. Wanker. Yeah.

Those are your three choices. And Rocky, here's the first one. There's no foot inside, but there's candy, or sometimes it's filled with small toys. Was that OG Willy Wonka, young Willy Wonka, or some wanker? You. Some wanker. Why do you say that? Just a guess.

You're saying it because it's correct. It's just some wanker. Wanker. Yeah, a foot in it. That sounds kind of like a choking hazard. Yeah, that was some wanker from Nightmare Before Christmas said that, because he doesn't understand how it works. So he thinks there might be a foot inside, or he needs to point out there isn't a foot inside. That's what threw me off, the foot.

Yeah. Do they have The Nightmare Before Christmas in Canada? We have no movies in Canada. They don't have Christmas. Just the shadows that the moon strikes upon the snow. Mark, you're up first. Are you ready? Sir.

All right. What is this OG Wonka, Young Wonka, or some wanker who said, like, taking candy from a what? It ain't OG, Wonka. I'm going to go with. You got that one memorized? I'm going to go with Timothy Shalome. You're going to Shal-bear?

Yeah. Sham-bear? I'm going to Sherbert. That's incorrect. See, here you are, Sabrina. Up ready for action. It's a 50-50 at this point. Somewanker.

Somewanker is correct. It is so waker I'm winning Rockies got a point. Yeah, you were gonna get Gene Wilder on a wall He ain't biting that hard Timothy could have been right Timothy. I thought we're gonna be like taking candy from a that Timothy could have been, right? Timothy, I thought, would call me. Timothy could be like, like taking candy from a what? He swore that day, I will never be fooled again.

Yeah. That was from Despicable Me is what that line was from. All right. We are back to Rocky. You ready, Rocky? Yeah. This could do it for you right here. You ready, Rocky? Yeah.

This could do it for you right here. Greed always overcomes need. OG. OG Wonka? OG. That is incorrect. Yeah, that feels a little. That feels a little.

I'm sticking with Bob Dylan. Oh, because he plays Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown. Yeah. Get it? I hear it's good. It's a lyric in the song. I hear it's a good movie. Yeah.

Yeah. Incorrect. Sabrina, what's left? Imagine I guessed wrong. It's some wanker. Wait, what? Wait. Wait, what did you say? I guessed Shalomé. Oh, you did. Oh, he's left? Imagine I guessed wrong. It's some wanker. Wait, what? Wait. Wait, what did you say?

I guessed Chalamet. Oh, you did. Oh, he's right. Oh, why would you tease me like that? That was brutal. Yeah, he's right. I just so did what I did. I was like, this game is just called some wanker.

I just want you to, I don't want you to win so badly. I know. I'll just try anything to. No, now we got a three-way tie. This is extremely exciting. Because Sabrina, you're up first. So if you get this right, you win this game. If you miss, then Rocky could win this game.

And if he misses, then Mark just gets to sit there. I'm on the bubble and enjoy the win Clap your hands if you don't believe in me Fuck yeah Let's go guys That's so weird Clap your hands if you don't believe in me If you just want me to write here Okay They're ready to clap. Happy tiara? Okay. Oji Waka, Young Waka. See, that's where I got confused, is there, the phrase Oji and Young is what confused me.

I'm open to winks. I'm open to like little hints from the audience as well. Anyway. You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by the way he eats jelly beans. You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by the way he eats jelly beans. You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by the way he eats jelly beans. You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by the way he eats jelly beans.

That sounds very OG. It's a true statement, I'll say that. I agree with the sentiment. Well, who do you think it is? I'm gonna go with O-G. O-M-G. That's incorrect. No! Fuck! God damn it!

None of them clapped their hands for you. Yeah. Rocky? Say it again. You can tell a lot about a person's character by the way they eat a jelly bean. Is that the, is that? You can tell a lot about a fellow's character. A fellow's character. By the way he eats jelly beans. A fellow. Yes. A fellow's character. Chambray. Timothy Chalamet. Timothy Chalamet, Timothee Chalamet. That is also incorrect.

Oh, you are so, who is it, Mark? I'm going Bob Dylan again. No, I'm going some wanker. It is some wanker, a wanker. That's a famous quote from Ronald Reagan. Ah! Ronnie Reagan said that at some point. And so.

That's how he beat Mondale. He saw Mondale eating jelly beans and he's like, not on my watch. Congratulations, Mark. You won that game, but it is far from over, everybody. We've got one more game to play and we're gonna do that after this break. We'll be right back.

Woo! We're back. We had some stuff we had to settle during the commercial break and we worked it all out and now we're back with some more competition and we're going to determine a winner. We're going to decide who's going home with the bag. Is it going to be Chelsea of love or 2F by Chelsea? 2F by Chelsea. Or is it going to be? Captain Siren. Mars Matax was next on my list.

And then the one you said. I hope his friends call him Mars Matax for the rest of his life. You're done. CRN. How did they come up with that name CRN? My mom watched a lot of Masterpiece Theaters and she was part of the game. Masterpiece Theaters? There was a character named that? Like on Downton Abbey or something? Oh, an actor. A male actor? Oh, okay. Oh, alright.

That's fun. Put a little flair on it. Yeah, alright. Well, good luck, Captain Siaran. And, um... All signs point to you leaving hands free. Which is kind of a treat, to leave, you know, to have an evening and then not have to be holding a bunch of stuff Well, she's never won to this point. So why break tradition exactly keep it consistent

But I think it's anybody's game really Is this game I could win I think maybe okay depends on how much you know about American Christmas That's what it's gonna come down to but I down to, but I think you're going to be all right. This is a game that I call The Little Search Engine That Could. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

Woo! Woo! Woo! Here's how this game works. Today I typed a word into the good old search engine on IMDB. And then I typed in, I mean I wrote down on this piece of paper, the top 10 movies according to their algorithm that have that word in the title. We're going to play three rounds of this game where the three of you will take turns naming movies with this word in the title.

And the higher up on the list your movie is, the more points you get. Number one's worth 10 points. Number 10 is worth one point. And then there's all those points in between. So who won that last game? Mark won that last game. So now we're going to go Mark, Rocky, Sabrina, because I am dedicated to making sure Sabrina always goes last. Thank you.

No, it's just arbitrary. But I might give you more time to think. Who knows? Going first isn't necessarily an advantage. No, with that time that it was a fake out and I was going to get a free point, I loved it. It wouldn't have been a free point. You would have deserved it. It's just, unfortunately, everybody realized I was wrong. Sometimes things slip by everybody.

I can see as they don't. Yeah, that's a tactic that would work a lot on this show. I don't know why more people don't try it. But unfortunately, usually Sam Levine's around to enforce all the rules. That's his specialty. So you're each going to get three guesses. And the thing to keep in mind is that you can go to the person you're playing on behalf of once over the course of this game to help you out.

They could be your lifeline. Strategically, I don't hate the idea of going to them first or second, instead of waiting around until you're out of titles. Strategically, I think that could be an interesting way to play it. I don't know. Strategically. Yeah. I don't know.

We'll feel now too if by Chelsea. I don't know if it'll work out for you or not. Yeah. I don't know how it's going to go. Chelsea is panicking over there, I feel like, that she has to potentially answer. But I bet you there's people at your table that can help you out.

I got you, babe. It's cuffing season, Doug. I'm just throwing lifelines out. OK, well, you only get one. Cast in nets. You only get your lifeline once. And Mark's going to start us off by naming a movie, tis the season, a movie that has the word Christmas in the title.

OK. This has to be the accurate title. I say that looking at you specifically. For some reason. I was the one trying to figure out Lacey. No, you're right. I should have looked at Rocky. Give me the thumb over here.

Mr. Lethal Weapon 2 is a Christmas movie. I think she'd be a lot more famous if she's just changed her name to Lacey Chevrolet, you know, like at a young age. Credit to Rocky. I've never heard of the young lady. She seems wonderful. She's a, you've heard, if you heard people talking about, you're not going to be able to make fetch a thing,

stop saying fetch. Yeah, she's the one that says that. She's the one. Now I have context. Yeah. All right. Big fan. That's all you needed.

She was also on Party of Five. You never saw Party of Five? Missed context. Yeah. All right. Big fan. That's all you needed. She was also on Party of Five. You never saw Party of Five? Woo! Missed it. Yeah. But that was also where Jennifer Love Hewitt and Scott Wolfe were born. Jennifer Love Hewitt I was obsessed with,

and I didn't know I was gay. And I was just like, she would be the best, best friend I could ever have. Me too. That's what I thought too. Yeah. Yeah, I was into her. I didn't know I was straight.

When that show hit, I was still, I was just diehard 90210. I'm like, I'm riding this train. This party of five thing ain't lasting. I'm sticking with. It lasted though. We just added Kelly Kapowski. Good times are ahead. We're my seventh heaven fans.

Seventh heaven. Don't clap if you're a seventh heaven. Seventh heaven. Don't clap if you love seventh heaven. Oh, oh, thanks, Chelsea. Oh, boy, all right. Yeah. You know, that's the great thing about fans of comedy

is they really encourage us to remain alcoholics. Yeah. I'm going to mix my drinks, though. Oh, shit. Don't spill it on me. The script has been ruined. Don't spill it on the answers, Doug. Pass it over here.

I'll try it on you. Show's canceled. Christmas is over. Go to bed. But Doug, please. My son, he's limping, and he really wants to hear his daddy on this podcast. All right, Bob Cratchit.

We're going to do this show anyway, even though my notes are all wet. What's your first guess, Mark? A movie with Christmas in the title. Chelsea, I hope you approve of this. I'm going to go with A Christmas Story. A Christmas Story gets played for fucking all day long on Christmas Day on TBS and TNT.

So of course, people are going to INDB and checking up on that movie. And it is number five on the list. Yeah, so you're starting off. I thought you'd get a little applause for that. I thought I'd get something for a five-point award. Yeah, so you're starting off, I thought you'd get a little applause for that. I thought I'd get something for a five-point. Thank you.

Applause just for getting on the board. Sometimes people don't even ever get on the board. Because in this particular case, I could tell you there's hundreds of movies with Christmas in the title. And you just got six points, Mark. Six points. Love it.

Isn't that what I said? That's right, because five is six, yeah. Yeah points, love it. Isn't that what I said? That's right because five is six, yeah. Yeah. You said five. I did. I did like a dummy but if it's number five then it's six points.

Six points, exactly. Math is so tricky. Do they have math in Canada? No, I have no idea how many of us are on stage right now. I'm gonna guess in the 200s. We really outnumber the crowd the crowds are part of it okay listen rocky what's your first guess national lampoon's Christmas vacation number one on the list man that's good you're getting a record people love that freaking movie no matter how much people hate Chevy Number one on the list! Oh man, that's good. You're getting a record for this.

People love that freaking movie. No matter how much people hate Chevy Chase these days, they cannot get enough of Christmas Vacation. It's crazy. Is this, is my guess going to be right? Oh, I don't know. I was just going to ruminate about Christmas Vacation for a little while. No, yeah, do that.

Because also, what's his name? Randy Quaid has become such a nut bird. He's so good in the movie. And he's so funny, but I think he's just stayed in that character. He's actually Cousin Eddie. He's like total method, yeah. Okay, go ahead, Sabrina. You got this.

A Christmas Carol I Mean, I don't know why mark didn't guess it because it's he likes any version of it Zick when you think I'm gonna do you think it's the one he mentioned. Do you think it's the one with Jim Carrey? No, why not? It's the classic old one. Really you are committed to that. No, I don't want the one that's in carry Yeah, it's the one with Jim Carrey. Yeah, it is number eight on the list. Eww! Eight points. You get three points. All right.

Everybody's on the board, though. This is exciting. Yeah, this feels good. Anybody could win this one. Yeah. Yeah. Mark, do you have any thoughts about my next my next guests know about the one we just guessed. Well, yeah, I brought the movie. Oh, that was yours. Yeah. Yeah Never mind. I was a big fan. You really want to talk about it then so let's talk about a Christmas story

Do you watch it every year? I actually never saw a Christmas story until I was an adult like people love it and it's part of their childhood And I really like the movie now, but it was not part of our rotation. Yeah. But good movie. Yeah, you just watch as an adult and this is fun. Yeah, I was like, yeah, I see what the guy, good gimmick,

the lamp that's like a lady's leg. Well done. Yeah. You're just brushing the whole movie off. Yeah, I get it. Yeah. It's fine. I understand it.

It's a little like Goonies. Like, we see Goonies when you're young, then it's your favorite movie. You saw it when you're an adult. You're like, oh, yeah, kids. Way to go. You don't like it. I haven't seen it. And I'm going to watch it just for this lamp leg.

You know the reference, though, right? Yeah, there's even an ad playing a lot right now where somebody gives as a gift the leglamp to the grown boy from the movie. And that's, we're supposed to know all this information when we're watching the commercial. But yeah, the leglamp is kind of a... There's people that's lost on that. It's a thing.

Yeah, it's pretty cool that you don't know it. Look, the person that I picked to represent in the audience is probably so sad right now. No, I'm sure they agree with me that if I had never heard of Leglamp, I'd probably be leading a better life. I do not love Leglamp. OK, good. To mix movie quotes.

All right, so yeah, it's very good at what it does. But it's interesting that that movie is directed by the same guy who directed Black Christmas, the original Black Christmas. Porkies. And Porkies. Porkies. That guy had every, he could do any kind of movie. Yeah, I mean, he had a direct line to a lot of, I would say,

adolescent boys' complete childhood. You know? Yeah. Like, you celebrate him at Christmas, you put on porkies, it's like, there's a lot going on there. There's so many kids who never would have even tried to lick a pole and get their tongue stuck to it until they saw that in that movie and then still did it, you know, just because

they didn't believe it. That reference, do you know that one? I know that one. That's the movie. Yeah, that's a big one a lot of eyes got shot out because also the mother is always saying you know you're gonna shoot your eye out with that thing and Then he eventually he gets a toy gun and shoots his eye out with it You like the problem dies in the prophecy the prophecy is foretold. Yeah. Yeah, then the father eats the whole Christmas tree and then he dies. And by the end of the movie, the only thing that's still alive

is a kicking leg layup. You know what? I do know this movie. It's just vignettes of like, because that's the only thing I think that works about it, is they can play it on TV. And the commercial breaks, you just can go do whatever around the house.

Then you come back to it and you can watch it for a few minutes and it's just, every scene has got some sort of funny thing going on. You know, like when they bundle the kids up for school, you know, and like his little brother has like such a puffy coat on that he looks just like that character on South Park. Don't come to my Christmas party

because the other Christmas party is going to have a Christmas story on. I'm going to make everybody sit down and watch George C. Scott in A Christmas Carol from 1984. Oh, that's fine. I'm like, no, you will sit down and you will watch this movie. That shit's serious. It's a great film.

Is it fun? I didn't claim it was fun, Doug. I claimed it was Christmassy. Like the ghosts and shit, they're pretty scary. Yeah, dude, the Ghost of Christmas future, my god. Woo! Scrooge takes the cake from us. And then the Ghost of Christmas present

is this like big, you know, great personality. Then he opens his goddamn robe, gets what's in there. A bunch of like malnourished kids under the robe. He flashes people the faces of malnourished children? What? Yes. Watch the movie. Wild.

Yeah, now I don't even know which one you're talking about. This is the Muppet one? 84. This is Jeffrey Epstein's origin story? Ha ha ha. This summer I'm opening an island, Scrooge Island. All right, Mark, did I ask you your next one yet? You did not. Chelsea?

Oh, you're going to Chelsea. I'm going to Chelsea. Second round, going to the audience member. I like it. What do you got, Chelsea? A nightmare before Christmas. A nightmare before Christmas. Oh, that's clear. What do you think of that, Mark? Would you like to use it?

I'll ratify it. Well done. Not on the list. Oh! Hey, we're going down together it? I'll ratify it. Well done. Not on the list. No! Hey, we're going down together, and I got no problem with that. It should be. I absolutely think it should be. Definitely some sort of clerical error or something going on there, but it's still anybody's game, Rocky.

You want to do one, or you want to go to an audience member? What if I ask him a question? Don't, you can't ask him a question. Oh, I thought I get one. You can, yeah, they can say a suggestion of an answer, but you can't draw it out of them. Okay. You can't draw me. If I don't like it, can I go with something else?

Sure. But I can take it if you leave it. All right. I like all of this. This all works for me. Let's go with his. Let's go with Matt. What do you got, Matt?

Muppet, Christmas, Carol. I would have said that. Should be on the list, but it's not. What the hell is wrong with you? I know, right? You said hundreds of Christmas movies? There's lots of them, yeah. OK.

Lots of movies with Christmas in the title. I'm going out to my girly. OK. I love this I love everybody using their lifeline early on white Christmas she's saying white Christmas yeah I'm saying white Christmas you like white Christmas do you dream of a white Christmas every single day number six on the list five more points for Sabrina this Oh, hell yes! This is getting tight!

Ciaren! Yeah, so going into the third round, Rocky has ten points, Sabrina has eight, Mark has six. Anybody can win. Mark gets to go first. Everybody's used their lifeline, so he's got to use his own noggin to come up with a movie that has the word Christmas in it Yeah All right

I'm really scraping the bottom. I mean you just invent a Christmas title and hope that there is one you know like yeah I mean the the only one that's coming to mind actually has Christmas in it would be Chelsea. I'm sorry in advance. This may not be our night, kid. I'm going to go Christmas with the Cranks. You're really saying Christmas with the Cranks. That's the Christmas moving my head.

Darn, Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis. He's the Santa Claus. Ben Affleck's in it too, right? I think no, that's that's the one with Tony Soprano That's what with it has Tony Soprano. What's I forget what it's called. It's Gandolfini. Yeah, yeah Yeah, I can't keep these all these dumb Christmas movies straight, but I can tell you I'm gonna tell you that Christmas of the Cranks is number three on the list. No! Three? How is it number three? What did they, yeah, what did they ask Canada?

They didn't know any better, they're like, that sounds like Christmas. Yeah. We like cranking, that is, that is a crime, I'm, I'm upset that I'm in the lead now. Like people, they're probably just like curious about it, like, about it, because it's playing on cable TV constantly, probably. Over and up at Christmas, Carol? A nightmare before Christmas? Well, I'm saying you don't have to look those up. You know what they are.

But Christmas with the Cranks, you're like, what is that again? What's going to happen with it? Why do they got their Cranks? And it's based on beloved source material, the Christmas with the cranks emotion picture. So what's the score right now? It's got Dan Aykroyd. It's got Cheech Marin.

You got to love that. Is that Jamie Lee Curtis? Yeah, Jamie Lee Curtis. What is it based on? And Tim Allen. The Bible? It's based on a novel called Skipping Christmas. And some genius thought Christmas with a Crank, so people love the word crank, sounds, you

know, naughty or something. I will say when I said Christmas with the Cranks, my table, my Chelsea table erupted with delight. They were like, no, he hit the nail on the head. This is, they're the, that's your demographic searching for it on MTV. That's why it's number three. Yeah. God, number three.

That was a book. Wow. All right, we're back to you, Rocky. Oh, shit. Oh. This is very exciting. This is opening a whole new world for us. Just think of the worst Christmas movie.

All right, let's try This Christmas. This Christmas. This Christmas. Well, that, yeah, that's not. Who's in that? Sounds like a movie. Well, you see, it's a Christmas song. Yeah. So it should be a movie, too?

I think it's a movie. I don't know who's in it, but I think it's a movie. It does feel like it should be. I feel like it's not on there, though. It should have done that. If it's not there, are you? I'm not seeing it, though. Write the script. That's why I keep asking's a, I think it is. It does feel like it should be. I feel like it's not on there though. Somebody should have done that. If it's not there. I'm not seeing it. Write the script.

That's why I keep asking about it, cause it's like, there's definitely like, you know. This Christmas stars like Mariah Carey. Really? Circa, Nick Cannon. I haven't seen it. I'm making it up. Maybe it's a TV movie.

Yeah, Lionel Richie plays the fun neighbor. Yes. A theatrical release. Maybe it was like a TV thing or something. But I'm sorry, Rocky. You did a great job, though. It's a better guest than Christmas with the Cranks. You still might finish in second, Rocky.

All comes down to Sabrina. Sabrina's been thinking hard and hard about this. I feel clever, because this has not been guessed yet. Oh. But we've talked about it. Okay. Black Christmas. Yeah, that's a good call.

Go against the grain. Right? I did White Christmas and now I'm doing Black Christmas. Your face is saying it's a... We were talking about it. There's the original. There is a reboot. Yeah.

Two remakes. Two remakes. They keep making it. And maybe they're just making it a little too much because it's not on the list. What? No version made this list. This is like when Trump won.

Top 10 movies. Again. No. Don't feel too bad because real strong third place, Sabrina. Oh my god. I'm going to be so sad driving home. Are we just, are you competitive all the time or just in this scenario?

Always. Always with everything? I'm so sad. But you enjoy competing nonetheless? Yeah. You did good. I did not. I think you did real good. Do you want to guess another one?

Yeah. Do it. Do it. Christmas Makes Us Happy. I love that song, so it should be a movie, too. It should be a movie if it's on the list. Oh, what about Last Christmas? Yeah, it's on the list.

It's on the list? Last Christmas is on the list. How many points do I get? Last Christmas was number, it's on the list. It's on the list? Last Christmas is on the list. How many points do I get? Last Christmas was number seven. Wow. So yes, you would have gotten four points if you just said it. I got to know this. I would have still been third place.

Are we done with it? Why? Because I have a guess that I should have guessed. Yeah, I like to hear it. Charlie Brown Christmas. No, that's a TV show that's like 23 minutes long. All right. Since we're all throwing guesses out,

I'm just going to stick with the vein of lesser beloved Christmas movies, and I'm going Four Christmases. That's what Christmas is. That's number two, I bet. Yeah, Four Christmases is only like an hour and 20 minutes long. It is a breezy watch. I bet it's still tough.

I really, I really, you know how Jon Favreau plays like a total redneck goofball in it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he's so funny in it. I think he's really, like his. Him and Tim McGraw. Him and Tim McGraw are both just complete assholes to Vince Vaughn.

I'll make you a deal right now. It's pretty funny, that segment. I'll watch Four Christmases if you watch a George C. Scott Christmas Carol this holiday season. Well, you're in luck, because I watched the George C. Scott thing right after we talked about it. Did you really? No.

Damn it. Damn it. No, but I'd make that trade. Although, you have it easier than me, because I'm sure your movie is like two hours long. It's a long movie. I'm telling you, Four Christmases is like barely a movie.

And it's divided up into like, it's this couple that every year they lied everybody and say some stupid reason why they can't come for Christmas. And then they just go on vacation together and have an amazing vacation. But this one year they get guilted by their families into visiting them. So it's just visiting four sets of parents, because they're all divorced, split up families. How do they connect in that? So it's like visiting four families.

And so three of the families are not that fun, but when they visit John Favreau, it's so funny. Each family's like a 10 minute visit. Do they connect in the end? Kinda, I think, but not really. Like there's some actors in that movie that probably never met each other. Wow.

Yeah. So they're just like, and that was four Christmases. Is that the one where Kiss shows up at the end? Isn't there a Christmas movie where Kiss shows up to play a show? That sounds like something that they would do, but it's not four Christmases, I don't think. We'll worry about in 2025.

Yeah. Does anybody out there know what he's talking about? There's a movie where Kiss shows up to play at the end of something. The Tone Rock City. Yeah. Tone Rock City is what he's talking about? There's a movie where Kiss shows up to play at the end of something. It's Dwayne Rock City. Yeah. Dwayne Rock City is all about going to see Kiss. No, there's something else.

It's more recent. That's a good guess. You're thinking of rat race and a smash mouth. Yeah, that's what you're thinking. You're confusing smash mouth. Are they the other rat race? Yeah. All right.

Do you want to know the rest of the titles you didn't get? Give them over. It's so disappointing. This is going to hurt. Because there's a whole thing where lots of Christmas movies are being made for Netflix. So number 10 is the Kurt Russell classic, The Christmas Chronicles.

Yeah. Kurt Russell's an American treasure. We'll allow it. Then the next movie is a film that is in theaters now. Red One. No. That's Christmas. Red One Christmas.

Can we rename the movie? Christmas is just implied. That's why I put it on the list. No. Number nine is the best Christmas pageant ever. What? Starring Pete Holmes. Yeah.

What? Yeah, Pete Holmes and Judy Greer play a couple who are directing a Christmas pageant or something like Holmes. Yeah, right. Yeah, Pete Holmes and Judy Greer play a couple who are directing a Christmas pageant or something like that. Good for Pete. Yeah, good for him, indeed. Number four, I can't believe this didn't come up. Your brains were all sort of hovering around it.

How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Oh my god. Oh, right. They made it in the movies. Yeah, they remade it as just The Grinch. So that's probably what you were thinking. It doesn't say Christmas in that title. That's so disappointing. I didn't get that far, to be honest. I had my as just the Grinch. So that's probably why you were thinking it doesn't say Christmas in that title. That's that's so disappointing.

I had my head in the cranks. And then this one is why I had to keep looking back at the piece of paper when you said this Christmas, Rocky, because there's an animated movie on Netflix. It's like brand new on there called That Christmas. Definitely not the movie. Yeah, but so close at the same time. So yeah, we tallied y'all up. That's what I guessed.

I said White Christmas, and then I said That Christmas. Well, I made a list, and I checked it twice. It turns out Mark is both naughty and nice, because he is our winner tonight. Congratulations. I'd like to thank everybody in the audience my competitors the host but more importantly the cranks the cranks really really really that's the reason why I won yeah all these great Christmas movies were celebrating well you know it's hardly a

little more you know more deserved recipient than Chelsea because he's probably been to see the show more than any other person. It's a Christmas miracle that the corrects for that. I Chelsea, congratulations. Here, do you want to take that to her? I would love to. That's a great way to get you to be quiet for a little bit.

Holiday Taint Show should be a lot of fun. I have a monthly show at the Comedy Store called Soundcheck and a monthly show here called House Party, Rocky Roberts comedy on everything. Yeah, I'm doing your show tomorrow night. It's too late to promote it. It'll be in the past. If you're going to build a time machine and waste it on going back to see Rocky and me at the Comedy Store, you can do that, but it's just as easy to go to Irvine on December 26th. Come see us there. In addition to that show, I also want to say that this is the last Douglas movies here at the lab at the improv. I want to thank them for supporting the show for the last year or so. Yeah.

No, but I just go there two, three times a year to, I'm at Brad Garrett's Comedy Club this time. And that's all because of the football. It's, I don't like going, I don't go on the road until February because I like to watch the playoffs. Yeah yeah. Without traveling and the Washington commanders could be a factor this year so you know listen to that applause. Taking this nation by storm. At the end of every episode of Late, I've been quoting the last line from a motion picture.

And tonight is no exception. I'm going to be quoting Clark Griswold at the end of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. So I hope everyone's having a nice holiday season and get ready with that end theme. As always, I did it. Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie. Eyes of gold, his viewing prowess makes him cocky.

There's no room in his heart for you, cause Doug loves movies.
