Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby, sticky seeds with 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey everybody. My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies. It's Sunday, May 22nd, 2022. And my guests today are Top Drawer, which is where I put my socks and underwear. Welcome, Matt Fernandez, Danny let's meet them individually and alphabetically starting with matt fernandez is here hey doug how's it going hey dangling champ since the miami improv um last month yeah that was a fun show yeah that was super fun and you won so now you're back and you're calling in from Florida. Yeah, it's 93 degrees. Wow.

So thanks for, you know, making me stay inside. I appreciate that. I mean, I'm a huge hot weather fan. I mean, that's that's my there's two things I love about Florida is the hot weather and amusement parks. But as you know, Matt, there's a lot of things to not like about Florida. Yeah. There's a slight tinge of shame in my voice when people find out I live here. I get it.

I get it. Also joining us today is Dannyy jarles how's it going danny oh it's going pretty good you know we're just in beautiful california where it's 80s probably today 70s i wish we were all in different cities so we could give a real thorough weather report i think it's it's beautiful a little bit of overcast nothing too serious uh you were a recent guest on wide world of dugs if people haven't listened to that yet they should check it out it was a fun episode and uh and this is your second appearance on this show after previously uh doing it in uh sacramento at the punchline there. A great show where I won every game except the one that mattered,

but I felt really good about it up until then. I was really proud of myself. There's only two games today. And the second one is the one that I say the first game today does actually matter because I think that going first in the final game today will be an actual, uh, give you a little bit of an advantage.

And the man, the ma'am, who knows a lot about advantage and strategy, another dangling champ, it's Sam Levine, everybody. Oh, hi, Doug. You haven't been on the show in a few weeks, even though you won the last time you were on because you were busy getting married. It's true.

Congratulations. Thanks, guys. Married life is wonderful so far, but it's only been like a month. I haven't talked to me in like eight years. Wait till you get that seven-month itch. I'm getting married in a month. So this is good to hear.

Oh, got engaged last month. Oh, my God. This is insane. You guys are crazy. What is this? Comedians living a real responsible life? What are we doing here? I guess so.

You know, people like to get married it's a popular pastime sweet tax breaks oh it is wild yeah i just keep telling her like it's the it's the thing i've always wanted in our relationship just to get the state involved yeah right yeah you know that's the only thing that was missing what sam levine loves is paperwork i do i love paperwork and and future paperwork entanglements now sam can i ask you can i ask you a question i'm so sorry doug if i'm that's okay no go ahead sam i'm i'm gonna go uh off of last name and what i know about you, that you're Jewish. Did you do a Hora?

And do you have any, what were your thoughts on the Hora situation? Because that is a sticking point right now. Fair question. Also, common misconception, Roman Catholic, but moving right along. Really? No, very Jewish. We did not do the Hora. You asshole.

I was blown away. I was like, all like all right no couldn't help it um i was blown away i really was like all this time i thought it was real awkward real quick uh no we it was a completely uh secular non-denominational ceremony and then i i did not want to do the horror uh because uh all jokes aside my now wife she has a pretty big irish catholic family so i was like i see no need to alienate so many of these people um with my old you know camp friends and i doing the horror around the uh the dance floor there so we and I doing the horror around the, uh, the dance floor there. So we didn't do the horror. There were no, there was no hoisting of people in chairs. Uh,

there was no running in a big circle, uh, and then in and out of that circle. Uh, so it was just a good old fashioned American wedding. Okay. Yeah. Okay. And I have no regrets about that. You didn't smash a glass with your foot i did not break a glass we did a uh the only extra thing we did in our ceremony uh was we we did a wine bottling thing because we're big winos so we put a bottle of wine in a lock box uh that we're going to open on our 10th anniversary um yeah and then the other

thing we did doug which i think you'll appreciate was uh we had every member of the wedding party there were five uh groomsmen five bridesmaids uh they each took turns reading a quote that they had chosen from a movies uh that was a quote that they enjoyed that was related to romance. And we did not know what the quotes were going to be until the day of the ceremony, until the ceremony itself. And we wrote our own vows. So it was a very movie heavy ceremony and wedding. The theme of the wedding was old Hollywood.

So what was the what was your favorite romantic movie quote? My, one of my, pretty much my oldest friend in the world, David, he, I think he went third or fourth and the mic was handed to him and he just said, I'm not a smart man. And then everyone, everyone in the room knew what was coming next but still it was a really solid well-timed pause all right um this is good to know this is good to know what i would like to know is who which of you would like to recommend a movie first because it's time for that part of

the show where we visit recommendation nation and uh each of you i would like to just recommend one movie just only one movie no wishy no washy uh matt fernandez uh i just heard about this movie from a friend and i watched it last night but i haven't seen any commercials for it or anything i feel like it won't get the love it deserves but everything everywhere all at once oh man like that was amazing it's it's you know it's doing fairly well uh in the theaters considering it's, you know, yeah. I only heard about it through word of mouth. I had not seen any ads or any trailers at all. No, it's, but it's, it's like somehow it's not connecting as big as it should. Yeah, exactly.

It's first six weeks at the box office. It is pretty much the same amount of money made by Dr. Strange, its first weekend, you know? Yeah. But I think it's the kind of movie where it's, it's so great that I really feel like it's going to, I mean, it's just already to me, it's a classic. Yeah. I'm going to tell people about it for sure. It was excellent. I was really taken aback by how good it was. Yeah. And I, I also took an approach, which, you know, kind of, you know, about it for sure it was excellent i was really taken aback by how good it was yeah and i i also

took an approach which you know kind of uh you know i i like to promote movies that are good but i also don't like to spoil them so just you know it's a movie with so many fun things in it that you know could be ruined that like uh just saying go see everything everywhere all at once just sounds like what are you even talking about like i can't see everything everywhere all at once just sounds like what are you even talking about? I can't see everything everywhere all at once. But it is really a terrific movie. I'd put that

and the Nick Cage movie are like my two favorites this year. I still got to see that one. Looking forward to it. Yeah, it's good. Alright, so that's a good recommendation. What do you have for us uh this time danny oh i have a strong one uh in uh chippendale rescue rangers is one of the most fun enjoyable films i have seen in so long the fact that it got made is a miracle.

I'll never understand. I spent it written by Doug Mann and Dan Greger. I spent so long with them both just being like, how legally did you do any of this movie? It is so good and crazy. It got made insane. It just seems like unanimously praised everywhere. I look,

I'm going gonna probably watch it today because it's on uh disney plus it's so good it's so good in a way that it doesn't make sense how it got to be good i don't understand how it got through the system because it's not like it's not like uh wink wink we're doing dirty jokes here right like it is it is like the whole family can watch it is it is like the whole family can watch it but it's still hilarious whole family can watch it still hilarious so many the you know the way i've described it to people was it is it is disney shrek um it's just so many jokes and references that you're like how are they able to do this? It's so good. It is so good.

All right. I'm excited about it. I was already into it, but you really, you really got me pumped up now. I got a recommendation nation is what I did. This is a Sam. This is a tough one because, uh, these are already two terrific movies, apparently. Those are two rock solid movies. So I say, if you know you can't win, just have fun. I'll be recommending the 1991 cinema classic Ski School.

For reals? For reals. I am. And people who've listened to my last two appearances on this show will figure out what i'm doing and i applaud them um the uh the reason i'm going to go with ski school among many others is my my good friend dean cameron uh is in the movie and he's just the best and uh it's a silly movie sure but it's a throwback to a simpler time in filmmaking. This is your classic, if I will, 80s ski comedy, even though it was released in 1991. You know, it's it's exactly what you would expect.

There's the the rich assholes who come in to say, no, we're going to run this mountain. And then the party animal locals were like, ah, but we do it our way. And then, you know, it builds up to the the big skiing competition at the end of it. And hijinks ensue throughout. And one of my favorite things about it is it's not just Dean, but also Patrick Laburteau is in it. And I realize you might not recognize him by name, but the two of them were also in 1987 summer school. Yeah. And Laburteau was like kind of an acting dynasty right aren't there two or three brothers that all act i believe so yeah no that's that is you are correct it's a dynasty a generational i think matt matthew labrador is one of his brothers i may be i think

so yeah um i think when they were little they might have both been on like Little House on the Prairie or some shit. I think that is correct. Yeah, he was a very long time. Yeah, but but I just love Dean because in the time of of covid, all auditions for, you know, acting work have become self tape. So you have to do them at home on your own with friends or whatever and dean has become my de facto self-tape partner and uh and i just lost mine oh no well i'll see if dean's available see if he's available i it is it is so true what you're saying like you need a friend and then unfortunately my friend uh finally got the thing and he's gone lost my self-tape partner but we're proud of him we're happy for him but unfortunately. Lost my self-tape partner, but we're proud of him.

We're happy for him, but unfortunately, so went my self-tape partner. It's true. You had to couple off for this entire time and just find one person who's cool enough and who won't make fun of you when you're doing terribly. It's hard. And also someone who's cool. Like I, one time I, and it's's rare but i had like four in one week and so i have to text him at like 11 o'clock at night uh can i swing by tomorrow around one you know it'll take

20 minutes be cool uh and it always is in your wife because i know my fiance my fiance refuses to do a self-tape with me slash i've kicked her out and banished her forever. Right. She's so mean. She's so mean. My wife is not mean, but acting is her least favorite thing. So. So, yeah, she she would rather I find vagrants to come into the house and help then than to ask her to help me. Well, I've been a big fan of Dean Cameron's since the aforementioned summer school, where, of course, anybody who's seen that movie, you would know exactly who we're talking about when I tell you his name in the movie is Chainsaw. A.K.A. Francis Grimm. It's sad how little, you know, recognition you get off of that that title, I think it's it should have been a perennial and I don't think people remember it anymore. I agree. It was it was in heavy rotation on cable for a very long time, which is how I came to find it in my teens. But, yeah, I don't I don't see it on as much anymore. And I worry that, you know, Gen Z might not know what you're talking about at all when you say summer. Exactly. I think it's cyclical. I think it's coming back, Doug.

Let me ask you this about ski school. Yeah. Does the magic continue with ski school, too? I'm so glad you asked. No. So ski school is not a sequel to summer school that's the movie that uh my friend is in is a ski school too uh comedian bill dwyer that's right bill is in ski school too um you know i only saw ski school to the one time i've seen ski school probably a half dozen times uh but ski school to only the once and you know i feel like i was a little more grown up then you know the sophomore humor didn't hit me the right way anymore because you know i was 15 16 at that point so

uh no i i'm sure it's i'm sure frankly it would you do yourself a hell of a favor if you did the back-to-back double feature. All right. Well, I'm going to definitely think about that. But the Chip and Dale movie is what I'm all about for sure. I'm so excited to hear your thoughts. You're going to love it. Well, thanks for these recommendations, fellas.

I think that at least two out of three of them if people uh actually take us up on it i think they'll be pleased and you know what sam i'm just gonna say i bet ski school will will surprise me i look forward to it what was the one oh uh I look forward to it. What was the one? Oh, uh, not cold mountain, but,

Oh, out cold. Was the cold. Yes. With Zach, with Zach. Yeah. Like I like knowing at least one person in every scheme comedy. Well,

who do you know from ski patrol? Oh, that's a comedy. Yeah. I think TK Carter, patrol oh that's a comedy yes i think tk carter paul feig i know paul feig i know paul feig yeah there you go yeah and tk carter of course who could forget his indelible work in dr detroit or saved by the bell the og saved by the bells i was watching an old match game, Hollywood Squares Hour on Buzzer the other day, and Mindy Cohn from Facts of Life

had to match Dr. Blank. And she goes, Dr. Detroit, that's one of my favorite. And it was like, nobody's going to match with Dr. Blank blank no one's gonna say detroit so dumb all right well i'm going to uh post all your choices on the uh douglas movies twitter and people can vote but uh also people got to get to work because there's nobody that's seen all three of these movies.

None of the four of us have seen all three, right? That's correct. Yeah. So it's probably true of the listeners as well. Let's go to a break and then we're going to come back and play some games. We are back and it's time to play, I dare say, Sam Levine's favorite game. Oh, boy. The little search engine that could.

Sam, while you were getting married, I kept playing it. I've been playing it on every episode. I love it so much. Okay. It's such a messed up game uh let me explain it to everyone in this particular instance in this game i typed the word easy into the search engine on the internet movie database and then i wrote down the top five titles that came up that are uh movies as it turns out easy that tv series uh that was on streaming a couple years back uh for some reason that's number one of all

uh and it's just called it's just called easy but uh i took the top five movies, and basically what's going to happen is you're going to take turns guessing titles that have the word easy in them. And the higher up your easy movie is on the list, the more points you get. After three rounds, we'll add up all the points, which there won't be a ton of them because there's only five answers on the board and um yeah and oh i should have said uh i'm calling five easy pieces if you will oh which is uh could be a trick or it could be not a trick. I always mention one title that might be in there for anybody who wants to take advantage of that. So Matt Fernandez, you get to

go first. Name a movie with the word easy in the title. I've been thinking since you said it and I can only come up with one so far. I'm going to go with Earth Girls Are Easy. Nice. Strangely,

I'm not surprised. Wow, not in the top five. Not in the top five. It came in number six. Yeah. That surprised me. I think that's another movie where it's, it's not really getting the love anymore. No.

And the last time I went, I remember liking it when it came out, you know, uh, Jim Carrey and, uh, and, uh, Damon Wayans and, uh, Jeff Goldblum playing aliens is a fun concept. And it was directed by Julian Temple, the music video director. And so it, it's kind of fun, but it's less fun than I remembered it being when I, you know, revisited it a couple of years ago. It doesn't hold up well.

No, no, it does not. It does not hold up. There's one scene where gina davis goes around wrecking everything in the house like rolling a bowling ball down a plank into the fish tank and stuff and uh i think i like that sequence still all right danny oh i'm so excited because i only had one that came to my mind and thank god matt didn't say it. Easy. A easy. A is number one. Oh yeah. That's worth a big five points to Mr. Danny Jollis who wins the games that

don't matter. Doug, I've said this once. If I've said it a million times, please only have me on the show with people whose last names are further down in the alphabet than mine. I know it's crazy. Like, I don't know why L, like the last few times you've been on, you ended up being third alphabetically and that L's right there in the middle of the fucking alphabet.

I got a 50 50 shot and I keep coming up snake eyes. What do you think, Sam? There's lots of movies with the word easy and that's true obviously easy a was probably going to be my first guess uh i will go with my second guess because that's a terrific movie by the way it is a great movie sequel is being worked on oh really easy b all right so what do you got sam i'm gonna go easy rider you know you don't have to sound so uh you know like you're giving up or something those were the first two that at least in my brain began with easy that i thought i would go with and of the two i was going to go easy at first because you know millennials they would probably knock that one higher on the list than people searching easy

writer yeah well it is number two wow that's me number two yeah so now after the first round matt has zero danny has five and sam has four but you each still got to name two more movies with Easy in the title or, you know, Pass if you're out of them at this point. What do you think, Matt? Do you have another one? Oh,

man. I know it's not going to be on there, but it's the only one I can think of. I'll go Easy Money, Rodney Dangerfield. And Joe Pesci. Talk about two guys people don't care about anymore. Well, one of them's dead. Right, which really slows the career down. But Pesci's also weirdly retired. I think he'll only appear in movies where they can CGI him into being a younger man.

Which makes sense. So, yeah, you're correct in your assessment that that would not finish in the top five. But, you know, Matt, you've said two movies with Easy in the title, and

this is not easy, as it turns out. Danny. Well, I'm out. But that doesn't mean we're not going to guess. Because while I can't tell you if it is a movie, I can tell you that it sounds like a movie. So I'm going to go with Easy Street. Is that a movie? See, that's a fun way to play this, because I'm not insisting, you know, anything about the movie.

So you can just say, I'm being honest. I don't know if it's a movie, but it feels like it would be a movie. Yeah. I mean, Easy Street is a song in the movie and the show Annie. Yeah. But unfortunately, Danny is not in the top five. I don't know if there is a movie called Easy Street. Should be.

There really should. Put that on your list of titles that haven't been used yet. That should. Okay. Because I'm tired of seeing movies come out that just have a title of a previous movie had that title and it's not affiliated in any way and that's real strange to me it seems like once the movies come out with a title on it you shouldn't be able to use that title again but i guess there's

there's no rules lee daniels the butler yeah at least do that at least add uh you know well that's basler basler mans or or right romero basler mans um no the lee daniels thing was because they were gonna get sued because the butler is owned by another company and rather than like go through all the legal nightmare that that could present, they just, they legally made the name of that movie Lee Daniels, the Butler. I swear. I just assumed that all of his movies had that on there. No, they do not.

In fact, Lee Daniels was not pleased. Good. Yeah. He was very much against it. It makes them seem like an egomaniac. Yes, it does. That's why he did not want it. I guess you're right, though.

It wasn't Lee Daniels, the paper boy. No. That is a weird movie, by the way. OK, Sam, what do you got for us? I've really been racking my brain and I am at a loss and I'm certain this is not up there, but it'll at least give me a chance to chat about my old friend marguerite moreau uh who was in a uh an independent film literally just called easy back in the early aughts and i want to say she's in it with uh

brian o'burn and naveen andrews pre-lost um and it's just just a fun indie about romance and what have you. And I was working with Marguerite at the time, right after this movie came out. So I watched it because, you know, you like to support your fellow actors and yeah, it's just called easy. Wow. Wow. It is on the list at number three.

Wow. That's wild. This is today. It is on the list at number three. What? That's wild. This is today. It's the third most popular Easy movie today on the IMDb. And I was hoping to sneak that one past you, Sam, because you did co-star with her in Wet Hot. And a TV show called Life As We Know It. That's the first thing I worked with her on in Hot. And a TV show called Life As We Know It. That's the first thing I worked with her on in 2004.

Dang. Now, Matt and Danny are learning that all anybody had to do was just say the word easy. It does, given my strategy with the last guest, feel particularly insulting. Well, all right so uh it's looking grim for matt and danny because now sam has uh seven points to danny's five and matt it's always a pleasure to have you on the show so let's go let's go back to you matt for uh hail mary yeah i'm out of uh let's go back to you matt for uh hail mary yeah i'm out of uh i'll just gonna easy way out is there a movie called easy way out there should be yeah that's my guess although you know what kind of conflict is there going to be in a movie called easy way out sure it's gonna be tough to

get us get the good third act going yeah but that's an interesting point, too, though, is that it's weird that the word easy is in any titles because it just does make it sound like, oh, well, this is not going to be a problem. Easy writers, they're going to do it. It's easy. Whatever it is they're trying to do in that movie. Be fucking hippies and convert Jack Nicholson into being a hippie.

All right. Nice try, Matt. Did I make the noise? Is it even a movie? Oh, again, I don't think it is, but I also can't be sure without looking it up.

Could be an old-ass movie. Danny, do you got another fun guess? Yeah, I'm just trying to think of what would be a good title over here. Any idiots with the word easy in it? Yeah, it's like easy peasy is an interesting little phrase.

That's kind of come to my mind, but then I go, ah, probably wrong. But at the end of the day, you sit here and you just go, I think we're going to have to take the L because, so I'm going to say, I'm going to say easy peasy, just to hear the boing one more time. I'm telling you, I like that as a title. But I really do.

Some good movies over here. Easy peasy would be a good, yeah, I think it'd be good. Wasn't that, I think that was, uh, I think that was Sean Astin's catchphrase in his season of stranger things. Oh yeah. I think he was always saying that cause he was a fucking electronics nerd. I think you're right. All right, Sam,

you can victory lap it and do one more. I'm really out of everybody's face. I'll go with yours. Five easy pieces. I also kind of surprised that Matt and Danny didn't try it out. And I'm mad at myself.

Yeah, well, don't be because it's not on the list. No. And I'm mad at myself. Yeah, well, don't be, because it's not on the list. No. So congratulations, Sam. You took down the little search engine that could, and you get to go first in this next game that we're going to play

after the break. We'll be right back. We are back. Sam is in control for a game that I call so-and-so and the something

something. Have you played this game before, Sam? No no this is brand new to me yeah and i don't think danny and matt have played it but correct me if i'm wrong you know how there's movies with titles where the first two words are the name of a character in the movie and then the rest of it is something that they did or do like uh you know willie wonka and the chaka factory yep indiana jones and the temple of doom what i've done is taken movies that have titles that don't do that oh and i've written what i think the title would be if it was that sort of title that's actually a great game right yeah that's a great game essentially you have to either recognize

the character name or the thing that they're doing or you know or the combo will give it to you right and these can be difficult but i i feel like uh some of these are are doable and sam's gonna go first i'll say a title sam will tell me what he thinks, what movie he thinks it is. Okay. And if Sam misses, then we go to Matt. And if Matt misses, then we go to Danny. And whenever somebody gets one, the next player that goes in the next round, you know, the next player gets to go first in the next round.

in the next round. The next player gets to go first in the next round. I think I've explained it completely. I think you have. Nailed it. I think we've really got this. Sam, are you ready? I am ready. What movie could be called Detective Thorn and the Tasty Treats? Hmm. Detective Thorn and the Tasty Treats.

Detective Thorn. Oh, wow. I'll give you seven minutes to think about it no i just if i may name drop ken jennings here he and i were having a conversation many years ago at one of your dlm shows uh about like there's a thing that happens when you play trivia where like the question is asked and then your brain locks in on something and then another part of your brain goes no that's not it move on and then the first part of mine is like but i'm staying here and like it won't come off of the thing and so that's what you just blurt out uh because your brain no longer wants to try to find the answer and i keep for some stupid reason going back to the maltese falcon, which I know is not it, but that's all my brain wants to say.

So the Maltese Falcon. You're going Maltese Falcon. Yeah, why not? That's why not. I know. All right, Matt. My brain is just thinking of stuff with candy in it. That's all I can think about.

So I'm going to go Halloween, even though I'm pretty sure that's wrong, because I don't remember Detective Thorne. Yeah, and also I should remind everybody that it's what would be one of the top one or two

build characters. I don't just pick a minor supporting character and go from there. Yeah, okay. So that's good for everybody to know. It is not Halloween. Come back and play this game in October and it probably will be.

I'd probably go... Now I'm forgetting what Jamie Lee Curtis' name is in those. Laurie Strode. She just should have strode right on by that. I got in there. But also, I really like, for some reason,

Donald Pleasance's character named Dr. Loomis. Yeah, that's a fun one. All right, Danny, you have a chance to be the first person on the board here if you can figure out what is called Detective Thorn and the Tasty Treats. And boy, do I want to have the answer. I'll tell you, as I sit here, I just wish,

because unfortunately I thought I had a decent guess, because I know your little tricks. And you said Willy Wonka in the, in your description. And I said, Ooh, what if the first one is Willy Wonka? Cause that is a lot of tasty treats and there's a detective who's trying to find him, but that doesn't seem like that's going to be the answer. So then we're just doomed.

Cause that was the only thing I really was thinking of. So now I'm just trying to come up with anything that would make a remote sense other than that try maltese falcon again was there a sequel to that one maybe i go with the sequel yeah i could have changed my mind um yeah i don't know i don't know i'm done okay let me give you the oh i guess i don't need to give you the sound effect because you i'd like it didn't even try all right willie wonka now do you want to go charlie in the chocolate factory or willie wonka in the chocolate factory i'm gonna go straight up willie wonka i think that's probably the right answer the wonka with johnny depp that was a disgrace yeah okay are you sure you don't want to

no it's too late anyway and it's not the other willy wonka um i hope you laugh at this sam it's soylent green Those aren't tasty treats at all. Insanity. People don't seem to mind them. I mean, do they taste bad? Do people taste bad? No, they taste delicious. Only here's the problem.

I can't think of Soylent Green without thinking of that goofy Phil Hartman SNL sketch from the 90s where it was like a look back at all the terrible sequels to Soylent Green. And it's just him over and over again doing the same thing. But the only way they got creative was renaming the color. So it's just Phil Hartman has to go, Soylent Teal is people! It's people! has to go soil and teal is people. Yeah. Yeah. It's I'm glad everybody is familiar,

still familiar with that movie. I guess that that twist at the end, really. I wonder if Charlton Heston between that and Planet of the Apes. I mean, he might hold a record for a gigantic twist endings it's it's up there he yeah those are those are top two top two i guess probably right in the top five those are big ones yeah i mean i'm trying to think of anybody's like a real staple in an m night but it was like like like a Bruce Willis has been a part of a couple of massive twists at the end of movies just off of his M night career. Yeah. Unbreakable doesn't really twist at the end though,

does it? I mean, it's a half twist. Yeah, it is. It's that he's a, it's a, it's a,

Mr. Glass is the villain. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, okay. They called me glass. I mean, I don't, yeah, Glass. I mean, I don't...

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I like that movie a lot, but I don't remember, like, walking out of the theater going, what a twist! Yeah. And then the less said about the sequels, the better.

Although Split, I... You know, Split is up there. If I'm going top three Shyamalan, I'd probably go Unbreakable, Sixth Sense, and Split. Listen, we don't want to get me going on this, but I am a diehard M. Night Shyamalan guy. I'll defend that man till the day I die. And I think all those,

a lot of those movies are sensational. Split is great. And I thought the one with all three was really good. Okay. I mean, you know, we already know now that uh why isn't it a shame that everyone has been kind of like oh bruce willis really phones it in and he's just been having trouble doing it at all i know it's a real shame yeah because i just thought oh he just really decided he's just going to show up and smirk but it turns out he's like sitting there going what am i supposed to say why am i here um but

anyway uh all right so that's round one nobody got it but i'm feeling like people are gonna get more on board and figure these out sam yep What movie could be called Rocky Balboa and the best Christmas ever? Oh, I need to think about this. Yeah. Because I know all the movies. Oh, wow. um oh wow what is the rocky balboa and the what did you say rocky balboa and the best christmas ever best christmas ever okay um all right well so you've narrowed it down to about six films i've narrowed it down to six films oh wow um

damn i i'm so torn between two well all right i right, I don't want to say which two, but I'm going to say I'm going to say Rocky IV. Yeah! Yeah! Rocky IV is correct. It's after he wins the fight against drago at the end he uh the last line of the movie is him wishing his son a happy christmas because it's a christmas day fight i was just remembering him in the snow and i was like there's a lot of snow in that

but then i also thought rocky five had a christmas element to it but that's the one i've seen the least and for good reason yeah i mean uh you know there's obviously elements along the way that are good but it's for me it's all about rocky and then strangely i like rocky balboa just because they really got the feel of the first rocky back you know know, it felt more like a, you know, just a gritty indie movie or whatever. Oh yeah. No, I liked Rocky Balboa a lot. Yeah. But that first Rocky, I'll never get over the thrill of that theme song and the word Rocky going across the screen in gigantic letters. It was just such a,

just really hooked you in. And then, you know, and then it's just basically a character study. Yeah. Every actor in it got nominated for an Oscar on that first one, I think. Okay, so Sam's on the board of one, but now Matt gets to go first

on this next one. Are you ready, Matt? Okay. on this next one. Are you ready, Matt? Get on. Okay. Jake, Sully, and the Blue Man and Woman group.

That would be Avatar. That is correct. Oh, man. That was a real softball. Come on, Doug. Now he's going to do another whatever movie, like a 70sball. Thanks, Doug. Come on, Doug. And now he's going to do another whatever movie, like a 70s movie. This is bullshit.

This is bullshit. Going very first in this one cost me. Soylent Green. Soylent Green. What was anyone supposed to get? Such a thing. No one was. And then now it's been Rocky and Avatar. Hey, I had to pick of seven different Rocky films. There's been one avatar

released that was a softball like just don't say that you're doing a great job listen to their name it comes down to it comes down to uh you know remembering the lead character's name which is you know sometimes they're uh fairly indelible and other times you're like what like you know if you'd asked me what's charlton heston's name and so on the green i would not have been able to tell you you told it to us five minutes ago i can't remember it thorn detective detective thorn birds all right danny are you ready this better be a layup yes i don't know i don't know if it will be or not uh here we go harry callahan and the pool of death

okay well i feel pretty confident but i am scared but i'm going to go with the one that feels right even though i don't know the last name i'm gonna go dirty harry that is incorrect oh sam oh well i appreciate this one doug it's just called the deadpool that is correct a deadpool that's it's a dirty harry movie yeah most of the dirty harry movies weren't actually called dirty harry yeah but the first one's called dirty harry, right? Yeah, there's Dirty Harry, Magnum Force, the Deadpool, Sudden Impact,

and The Gauntlet. Maybe one of those isn't a Dirty Harry, because he'd also just make movies that are very similar to Dirty Harry movies. But it wasn't necessarily. And he's such a versatile actor. He seems different every time you see him. Right.

But Jim Carrey's in the dead pool jim carrey plays a uh like an axl rose type guy yep with the big hair metal hair and uh liam neeson plays a uh a snooty music video director. And it's terrible. Oh yeah, it's awful. It's real bad. That's the one Danny got. Not Avatar. Not Rocky Balboa. If you knew your Dirty Harry movies,

he did give you Harry Callahan. He didn't. I gave you the two words in the title in the clue that is that part is true but what part isn't true is who knows all the dirty harry movies insane it is a it is a sociopath behavior to know to know all of those because from the very first Dirty Harry movie, he does things an officer of the law should not be doing.

Not. No, he's a real rebel. It was Callahan! Okay, so now we're back to Matt. He gets to go first on this next one. And, you know, just apologies to Danny if you feel like it's one you know. And Matt snakes it away from you.

Matt, what movie could be called Auguste Gusteau and the Hat Full of Rat? Auguste Gusteau. oh oh fucking ratatouille there you go i was too hung up on the name i was too hung up on the name i I was too long up on the name. I totally forgot about the second part. Yeah, I mean, I think he's even often just referred to as Gusteau, his last name. I wasn't even sure his name was Auguste. But yeah, good job, Matt. This is

Danny. This is a real barn burner. Well, you know me. They call me first game jollis, even though i did lose that one also but i came closer and did put up solid points yeah all right danny here's you're gonna bring a good attitude let's not forget that yeah i can't wait to can't wait can't wait for it to be hard let's go yeah no this is bullshit is a terrific attitude but i'm excited to be here i love the important thing you're excited to be staying at home

i'm excited to be here i'm staying at home watching sam and matt you know succeed like this has been a thrill for me uh i'm supportive of my fellow you know man and uh and i'm just so happy to get to watch them fly fly forth yes i can't wait for this one all right let's get you let's get you on the board here we go all right you got this thank you valerie and the three dudes from space and you know what the worst part is is i'm so tempted to cheat and i know and i can't oh i know i will i would never but i sit here embarrassed because i know it's probably i can i can feel sam just getting excited and i'm definitely going to get this. Nat even knows it. And then it's just me being humiliated. Embarrassed.

No. Three men from space? When have there ever been three men from space? Dudes. Three dudes. Three dudes from space. Oh. I mean, I'm going to go off the word dude and say

the big lebowski even though i don't really know why that would make sense i'm so lost i hate it yeah i don't think julia mar's character is named valerie i don't remember his name yeah yeah she's she's maude lebowski also oh yeah that's true i but I well, I was like it was like there's the fantasy scene. So I was like, maybe it's a stretch into the fantasy because there's that fantasy scene. Yeah. All right. Well, here's the official ruling. Yeah.

But Sam, tell them what it is. Now you're going to be so bummed because it's come up a whole bunch so far today. It's Earth Girls are easy. Oh. But I don't know that movie very well. Oh, Earth Girls Are Easy. Wow! But I don't know that movie very well. Alright. Well, now Matt,

here's your chance to tie it up. Oh, I get a chance? Yeah. Sam has three. You have two. And Danny Johnless is a delight. He's a delight. Really good person. Yeah. Matt, Danny Jollis is a delight. This is a delight. Really good person. Yeah. Uh,

Matt, what movie could be called Marty McFly and the flying choo-choo? I'm done. I'm done. Back to the future. Three. That is correct. No,

it's not. No, it's not. That's incorrect. That is incorrect. Why challenge? What? Why? That is incorrect. Why? I challenge. Why? The name of that movie is Back to the Future Part 3.

Oh, sorry. You bastard. You son of a bitch. No, I'm sorry. I had to hope that Matt missed so that I could answer. He gets Marty McFly and Jake Sully and the blue people. You got Earth Girls are easy. Oh, I had to wait. I had to hope that Matt missed. That's true.

You did have to. Twice. I had to know my Rocky movies. All right. Well, we have a tie now between Sam and Matt. Again, I'm playing under protest. It's Back to the Future Part 3. Yeah, but unfortunately, I just wrote down the three. I didn't write down the part part.

But also, I think you're going to take this because there's only one left. And if you get this correct, Sam, you are our winner. Oh, boy. Are we removing me from the game? I feel like we should. Yeah, because they're tied up. So we got to settle the tie. Okay, great. But I'm here to support.

I'm going to be very excited. I'm like an excited audience member. Okay. Here's the tie settler. Ready, Sam? I guess so. Ruben Pfeffer and the Lady with the Ferret. Ruben Pfeffer and the lady with the ferret Ruben Pfeffer

yeah wow that name sounds so familiar Ruben Pfeffer Ruben Pfeffer Why do I know that name? Oh, what's the name of it? I don't get it. God damn it.

It's not. Let me just check. It's not, I think, you know. I want to check in. Let me, let me, let me, let me check in. That's okay. Let me check in with Matt for a second. Don't say any answers.

I won't say anything. But do you have any idea, Matt? Oh, I know. Yeah. Okay. Matt knows it. So Sam, I'm going to give you a few more seconds. All right yeah okay matt knows it so sam i'm gonna give you a few more seconds all right i is it a long came polly oh that is correct oh you did it marriage

marriage has not slowed you down my friends i was like it's either that or it's the heartbreak kid i saw each of them one time but i know he's not ruben pfeffer and the heartbreak kid but i never made that connection before though that fucking jennifer addison has a pet and his name's pfeffer his name is ferret but like you know with uh f's instead of r's yeah um but yes along came polly which i i recommend to people whenever the opportunity comes up because philip seymour hoffman is hilarious in it so funny incredible so goddamn funny on the basketball court it's so good yeah and the scene where where he's he's got to do a presentation for ben or for pfeffer and uh he's got to do a presentation and knows nothing knows nothing to say so all he does is clear his throat pour some water he just it's so bizarre and hilarious i'm just trying to fake his way through something where he has no idea what to say open doesn't he open that movie with a hard pratfall uh i'm sure yeah i feel like he comes in like his opening in that movie is he comes in a

door and takes one of the hardest pratfalls for a guy who is such a respected actor. That movie is so good because of him. Yeah, he's hilarious. And it's got other fun stuff in it too. It's a little too much of the, I got tired of Ben Stiller just being like, a guy that's just always getting stepped on and mistreated.

That seemed to be his go-to comedic character but uh but it is it's a fun area hank's area and along campali is also oh my god it's so vicious so he and deborah messing are so mean to ben stiller i just feel so bad for him he deserves jennifer aniston and a blind ferret um but sam congratulations you're our winner thank you and uh of course that means you get to go first in the plugs promote yourself oh um well hey look if uh if you have children or you're just a weird adult who likes to watch programming for young people i'm on a couple episodes of ra's Home.
