Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy, ramblings, green and gray, He's sick, he's sick, with nippy eyes and hot water, He'll do his deed, there's still not more that he won't see, The God of Movies! Hey, hey, hey everybody! My name is Doug, and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies! All right.
Starting point is 00:00:34 I don't know why there's not going to be another season of American Idol, because there's clearly a lot of great singers in this town. We're coming to you once again from the Nerd Melt showroom at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. It's 420-ish on Sunday, June 28, 2015. Let me see your name tags, Los Angeles. I think there's some good ones. There's a cute little gingerbread man right up front. Is he from Shrek?
Starting point is 00:01:02 Yeah. And he's got a little necklace on with your name on it? What's your name? Tiffany. Okay. Bag of Oreos with your post-it note on the top? That's good if any of the guests are really in a snacking mood. Evasion of the Scotty Snatchers.
Starting point is 00:01:21 No need to explain any of that. I like the little glowing light you have on there. Mad Zach. Hold on, hold on. Hold on what? Oh, wait, never mind. Yeah, it's not working. All right.
Starting point is 00:01:34 You're not going to try to interact constantly, are you? Because you've spoken to me a couple times already, and that gets to be a real problem when you're in the front row. Jurassic World. Couple bags of M&Ms. Racking me. All right, you guys. Good job. Thanks for bringing those.
Starting point is 00:01:53 And you know when to bring them back out. You know what to do. What's up? You guys having a convo? You good? You're fucking sitting right this close to me and they're discussing the M&Ms or some shit. Let's go ahead and eat some of them.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Don't worry about the name tag. Tomorrow, June 28th, Monday, June 28th, I'll be on At Midnight on Comedy Central and much music for our friends up in Canada. Thanks. Wednesday, July... You don't have to clap for all of my upcoming gigs.
Starting point is 00:02:32 Wednesday, July 1st, Douglas Movies is going to be back at the Improv in Tempe, Arizona. That's this Wednesday. Come for the air conditioning. Stay for the movie trivia. It's kind of the opposite here today. I'm going to take off my hoodie. I'll be second now. Friday night, I'll be in Denver
Starting point is 00:02:53 for a screening of my latest movie, Chronicon, episode 420, A New Dope, at the Alamo Drafthouse in Littleton, which is just there outside of Denver. The movie's at midnight, but we're going to have a pre-party starting at 10, so come on by. And Douglas Movies is coming to a dozen cities or more, including San Diego, Pittsburgh, Traverse City, New York City, London, and more. So go to DouglasMovies.com to find out if it's coming to your town or close enough.
Starting point is 00:03:27 And the next Douglas Movies here at Meltdown is going to be on Thursday night, July 23rd, and tickets are already on sale because today sold out today. There's a few sweet seats over in this corner where you get to see the profile of the guests if you're lucky. I'd rather be in the back, personally, but you get to sit where you want. And I brought for the prize bag a copy of Promotional Tool.
Starting point is 00:03:54 And he's not here today. Don't get excited. But I brought his book because I read it, and it's great, and I want to pay it forward. It's a book that was written by Fred Stoller called Maybe We'll Have You Back, The Life of a Perennial TV Guest Star. That's in the prize bag. And I think her name is Catherine in New York City made this for me
Starting point is 00:04:16 and it's been sitting in my home and when the lights are off, it scares me. No, I'm just never going to do anything with it. It's just sitting there. So I thought I'd bring it and give it to somebody. And it's a knit face hugger from the Alien films. And you can really just strap it on. And be like, oh no, my face is being hugged.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Or if you're a tense person and you need your face hugged regularly, that'd be weird to wear that on a plane. Anyway, there's going to be lots more stuff for the prize bag. I'm glad I didn't bring much, because somebody's walking out here with a shit ton of things. And as you can see, we've got three guest chairs lined up, so let's get them out here. Please give a big, warm welcome to
Starting point is 00:05:12 Jonah Ray, Brett Morgan, and Michael Sheen! All right. Are you about to say something? No. Okay. You just did, though. So I'll go ahead and introduce you. That's Jonah Ray, everybody.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Hello. Thank you. A regular on the show, and no stranger to this stage that we're on right now, because this is where his TV program and weekly show here at Meltdown Comics called The Meltdown. This is where it happens. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:09 And the season two is this Tuesday night. So please. It starts up again on Tuesday? Yeah. What great promotional timing. I just asked you to come on because you hadn't been on in a while. You didn't say you needed to promote anything. I don't want to impose but it worked out perfectly. It looked so
Starting point is 00:06:26 good. So I acted real cool about it. Tuesday night, at what time? 12.30 a.m. After at midnight. I still call it the Minority Report because that's so much better title than whatever it's called with Larry Wilmore. That would be a better
Starting point is 00:06:42 title. And we got two new guests, you guys. I'm so excited. I don't know who to introduce first, so I'm going to start with the man who's probably going to be the most uncomfortable by the time this is over, because he's really wearing nice clothes,
Starting point is 00:07:00 like a jacket and everything. It's a documentary filmmaker, Brett Morgan, everybody. So excited to get him for the podcast. I started hounding him right after I saw the Kurt Cobain documentary, Montage of Heck. And here we are.
Starting point is 00:07:24 And again, the movie's out, and I think most people who want to see it have seen it. So you're just here for fun. Just here for fun. So I hope you have some. for anybody who's not familiar, in addition to
Starting point is 00:07:42 that film, he also directed one of the classic documentaries called The Kid Stays in the Picture. Oh! Yeah. IMDB that shit. And then also, most recently, I just saw it after the Kurt Cobain thing, because HBO showed it
Starting point is 00:07:58 a little bit, but it's a couple years old. The Rolling Stones doc, Crossfire Hurricane. When that came out, did that stir anything? Was there anything in that movie that got people worked up? I don't think so. I mean, it took you a couple years to even know about it. Yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:08:15 Jesus. Apparently not. That's what I mean. I didn't remember any kind of controversy, or even that the film was out there. And then HBO showed it and I saw your name on it so it was exciting to see because
Starting point is 00:08:29 it's also, it's very good but it's obviously a less incendiary subject and they're all for the most part alive. They seem all to be, yeah right? And we also have here on the panel an actor I've admired for a long time.
Starting point is 00:08:53 It's really uncomfortable sitting next to you as you say that. The Damned United is a favorite of mine. I enjoy that movie and it's sort of like is kind of now that FIFA's
Starting point is 00:09:11 in all this trouble because of that movie the movie makes yes the movie makes even more sense right that it's always been
Starting point is 00:09:20 an organization in turmoil yes controversy take that an organization in turmoil. Yes. Provisy. Take that. Take that, documentarian. And of course, the Twilight movies
Starting point is 00:09:35 and... I'm just going to sit here and list off all of his movies. Let's play a round of Last Man's Den with Michael Sheen sitting here watching us do it
Starting point is 00:09:46 but Masters of Sex on Showtime that comes back very soon it does July the 12th we're halfway through shooting it now
Starting point is 00:09:55 alright same day as Ray Donovan say it again is it the same night that Ray Donovan comes back I believe it's on
Starting point is 00:10:02 after Ray Donovan oh great I'm a Donna fan. Ah. Way into it. In terms of the relationship between Masters of Sex and Ray Donovan, we're the top. Ah. Ray Donovan is the bottom.
Starting point is 00:10:14 No, man. Ray Donovan is nobody's bottom. There's a hearty laugh in the front row. Somebody took his Eddie Murphy pills or something. It's weird that they made that pill. I can't even do it. Oh, and Far From the Madding Crowd is in theaters now. It is.
Starting point is 00:10:44 And I hear only good things about it from your girlfriend. I haven't even do it. Oh, and Far From the Madding Crowd is in theaters now. It is. And I hear only good things about it from your girlfriend. I haven't seen it yet, but that Carrie Mulligan's a damn delight. Oh, she's great. I saw her in Skylight with Bill Nighy on Broadway. It was a wonderful time. Yeah, no, she's wonderful. It's a beautiful film. You got to look at her all day every day.
Starting point is 00:11:04 I only watched her for two hours. Yeah. I thought we did the plugs at the end. I know. I'm just sort of throwing them out there. Thanks. What we got to do now is talk about what you guys brought for the prize bag. Let's end with Michael.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Because he brought a fucking sack like it's fucking British Santa Claus. What's Santa Claus called over there? It's called Santa Claus. What's Santa Claus called over there? It's called Santa Claus. I had a feeling it was pretty much the same. He's called Daddy Christmas. Okay, so we'll start
Starting point is 00:11:43 with Brett down there on the other end. What did you bring for the prize box? I'm going to acquiesce to Michael. I think he brought enough for all of us. He should just go straight to his bag. It was totally intimidating backstage. I just think he should just go straight there.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Yeah, it's a lot. Really? You don't want to give away the stuff you brought? I'll just, yeah, I brought... That way you don't have to carry it back home. I brought, and just mind you, Michael did say he just grabbed a few things on the way out the door. It's true.
Starting point is 00:12:15 So there's like a vase in there or something? It's nuts. You'll see. It's crazy. It's a picture of my mom. I brought Half a roll of toilet paper I brought the Volume 1
Starting point is 00:12:33 30 for 30 30 film Blu-ray DVD That's another thing I wanted to ask you about You directed a 30 for 30 I did the June 17th 1994 one about OJ
Starting point is 00:12:44 You know what If Ray Donovan was around 30 for 30. I did the June 17, 1994 one about O.J. You know what? If Ray Donovan was around, O.J. would have had no problems at all. He fixes things. So, I've never watched a 30 on 30, but everybody always raves about how great they are and that I should. Is this a good
Starting point is 00:13:05 one to start with, you think? It's the only one I've seen all the way through. I don't know. It is brilliant. Yours is brilliant. The other brilliant one is Magic Johnson versus Larry Bird. That is incredible. Those are the two best. June 17th
Starting point is 00:13:22 and Larry Bird. My favorite 30 for 30 is Frost Nixon. About that table tennis match they had. Don't be giving away secrets of mine. Oh, sorry, sorry. And what else you got there, Brett? I have the Montage of Heck souvenir book. Nice.
Starting point is 00:13:45 That's great. Nice. That's great. Those are both great. Pass those down here. I'm happy to keep them myself. Those are terrific, terrific things for the prize bag. And how does that 30 for 30, like how does that work? Like would you do it? Can you do another one or would you want to?
Starting point is 00:14:05 It was, you know, you don't get paid, so if you're into the subject, it's fun. It was because you're super into OJ. No, you know, the OJ one, if you've seen the OJ one, it was actually a bit like sort of being a human remote control for the programming for the day. It was actually a lot of fun to make for that reason because there's no
Starting point is 00:14:31 interviews and there's no dialogue and it's just pure immersion. I did it because on paper it seemed like a sort of docu-version of a Jerry Bruckheimer film. And then that was sort of the inspiration. Yeah, but in a Bruckheimer movie, they
Starting point is 00:14:47 drive slower and then make it look like they're driving really fast. They're doing it on the back of a truck or something. But that sounds great. I'll never forget that day that O.J. ran and how the whole world stopped to look at that.
Starting point is 00:15:04 We didn't have anything better to do. Jonah, what do you have for the prize bag? Well, like usual, Doug, I forgot to bring something when I got here. Oh, so you just tore something off of the wall? Back there in the green room? No, it's a piece of fan art someone made
Starting point is 00:15:21 of a character I do on the Nerdist Podcast called Bruce Gutter. And it's done as like a Nagel-style print of the time. Right. One of the sexiest artists ever. Yeah, with his catchphrase, the cocaine is in the back. I signed it,
Starting point is 00:15:39 because the idea of this character is that he's been in over like 100 TV shows from the years 1979 to 1984. But he was always like an under five guy and he was always a henchman to the main bad guy boss.
Starting point is 00:15:52 And he only had lines like, the cocaine's in the back. And that was it. So by under five, you mean five words or less. Yeah, five words or less.
Starting point is 00:16:01 And then so I signed it as he probably would, which is just to say namaste. So that's my... I'm sure Nagel's very spiritual. Yeah. All right, Michael. Let's see the goodness.
Starting point is 00:16:21 I hope those seats are comfortable, because you're going to be that for a while. You really brought a big bag of stuff. Look at the size of this thing. Here, you want me to hold the bag and you can just rifle through it? We'll start with this. This is a cushion with me on it.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I've never heard such gasps of delight. It's a very handsome master of sex attired bow tie Michael Sheen on a pillow. On a big fluffy pillow.
Starting point is 00:16:56 Like you cannot do this justice on a podcast. How amazing this pillow is. Just imagine one of those Japanese girlfriend pillows. For anyone who was wanting to sit on my face. Namaste. Staying within that theme.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Sit, Ubu, sit. Good dog. We have. I went through a cupboard Sit, Ubu, sit. Good dog. We have. I went through a cupboard and I found the original pilot episode script of Masters of Sex, which I have signed. And then I've also thrown in,
Starting point is 00:17:37 there was an episode for anyone who watches the show, an episode last season that got a lot of attention, which was called Fight, which is episode three, which all took place in one hotel room. Also have the signed script of that as well. Whoa. Any one of these things.
Starting point is 00:17:52 But wait, there's more, yeah. This is a photograph from the makeup test of Underworld. And that is, this is me trying out my contact lenses on my teeth for the first time. And that is, this is me trying out my contact lenses on my teeth
Starting point is 00:18:06 for the first time. There it is. Is that also available in pillow form? No. Then, okay, quickly,
Starting point is 00:18:19 there are some, these are just things I've been in. Frost Nixon, signed. The Queen, signed. All these things are signed,
Starting point is 00:18:26 so you're going to make a lot of money, whoever gets this bag. Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2, signed. My favorite of the Twilight movies, because he's in it more than the other ones. Special Relationship, signed. Tron Legacy signed got the nerds
Starting point is 00:18:50 with that one and oh it's got a 3D cover too yeah possibly my most popular one Tinkerbell and the
Starting point is 00:18:58 Great Fairy Rescue signed signed motherfuckers just to finish off two things I'm not in the greatest documentary about film ever made
Starting point is 00:19:13 the story of film and the soundtrack and this is just because I've got two of them and I found it before I left the house along with the vase
Starting point is 00:19:21 soundtrack on vinyl of eight and a half before I left the house, along with the vase. Soundtrack on vinyl of 8 1⁄2. The soundtrack for Fellini's 8.5. That's terrific. Well, yeah, I guess, Brad, I'll give you these things back. No, it's all amazing And thank you guys, especially Jonah For bringing such amazing stuff
Starting point is 00:19:48 It's a one of a kind Piece of art Give me that big bag so I can put everything Everything back in it I thought you were just hanging onto the pillow out of comfort I hope whoever wins this walks through airports with it Uses it as their plane pillow. Because it would really work as such.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Let's throw that in there, too. Yeah, we're good. All right. What's next for Brett Morgan? Do you have something you're working on now or just coming off of promoting the Kurt Cobain thing? Just coming off, like, five months promoting the Cobain thing. Yeah, I heard you in a lot of places talking about it.
Starting point is 00:20:28 What was the most annoying, like what was the question you got asked every time that you got super sick of? Just so we can talk about it again. I don't dwell though. I move on right after you give me a real answer. But you don't even have to answer that.
Starting point is 00:20:51 That might be the question. Maybe after a few of them, everybody just kept saying, what do you hate about interviews? But you were out there quite a bit. But have you seen anything lately? Have you been to the movies? I saw Max the other night. About the dog? Yeah. I thought for a second
Starting point is 00:21:10 you might be abbreviating Mad Max. I saw Max. So you saw Furry Road, not Fury Road. So that's the one about the war dog, right? Did you like it? Did you see it? You know what? That's the bane of every filmmaker's existence,
Starting point is 00:21:35 what you just did. What, me? No, what Doug did. Oh. Stay out of it, Jonas. What did I do? No, no, no. It's just a common thing that when you make a film,
Starting point is 00:21:49 people always have these grandiose ideas of you spent all this time and energy making a film, and it's going to do something or something. And I always say, at the end of the day, all you can really hope for is someone says, did you like the film? And then they go, yeah, it was all right. And then you change the subject, which you're about to do, before I even answer the question. What question? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:22:09 It was great. You liked it? I do want to hear what you thought of it. It is a good film? You know what? Did anyone see it? I think it's too early. It's not even out yet, is it? You would all be with your kids now if you had kids instead of being here. Is it out already or does it come out Friday or something?
Starting point is 00:22:25 It came out. My seven-year-old's actually seen it twice already. Oh, okay. Is it a family movie? Get on it, you guys. Everybody's messing around with Inside Out if they're going to family things right now. It's kind of bad timing. My seven-year-old did want to see Ted 2.
Starting point is 00:22:42 And I tried to convince my wife because it's a teddy bear. So we put Ted 1 on this morning. I'm not joking. This is what happened right before we came here because I wanted to go to the 1 o'clock Ted 2 show with my 7-year-old and my 12-year-old. So we put on Ted 1 and we're watching it and we got through
Starting point is 00:22:59 the movie. We got through the whole opening in good shape because it's the whole like Christmas music and you know let's go beat up the Jew and we all thought it was really funny and it was really and my wife literally turns to me and was like
Starting point is 00:23:15 okay and then the movie cuts to present day and the first thing Ted's doing is something about like and then she fucking came does this whole orgasm thing and then that was where we went and then... That's where you lost permission to take the kids to see Ted 2? And you weren't expecting anything
Starting point is 00:23:33 like that to happen when you put Ted 1 on for your 12-year-old. It was a complete surprise. Yeah, Ted 2's probably dirtier than the first one. They're probably emboldened by it, so your kids would have really had a treat
Starting point is 00:23:47 if you'd have pulled that off. But for one more time, just to be on the record and get people to go see it, Max is a quality film. You know, I will tell you that I wasn't expecting to be publicly on the record about Max. I would have paid more attention, but I will... I will say that I didn't know that it was about this... There was a war story. It's set against
Starting point is 00:24:13 this whole war story, so it's kind of moving and very patriotic. But compared to like Air Bud movies... You're being ironic, and I've seen all the Air Bud movies You know what You're being ironic And I've seen all the Air Bud movies Even Space Buddies?
Starting point is 00:24:30 Dude that one played forever You have no idea You have no idea You're literally talking to someone Who's like heard Space Buddies Like 28 times And there's a dog named Buddy heard Space Buddies like 28 times. And there's a dog named Buddy.
Starting point is 00:24:54 What about you, Jonah? Have you been to the movies? Yeah, I've been seeing a lot of movies. The most recent movie I saw was The Overnight, which I think is fantastic. Adam Scott, Jason Schwartzman, Taylor Schilling is in it. Schwartzman has a big fake dick in it. Big fake dick, and Adam Scott has a Scott, Jason Schwartzman, Taylor Schilling is in it. Schwartzman has a big fake dick in it.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Big fake dick. And Adam Scott has a tiny fake dick. And it's played for laughs. It's very funny. It's like a really cool movie. It's produced by the Duplass Brothers. And Patrick Bryce is the guy that wrote and directed it. I recommend it highly.
Starting point is 00:25:21 It's a very funny movie. All takes place in one night where it's like new couple friends are meeting and then there's the chance of a swinger situation and it just kind of goes on from there. It's really funny. I love it. I haven't seen it, but I love it. And you sounded like you were going to say some other movie as well, or is that...
Starting point is 00:25:40 Oh, I saw Soaked in Bleach, the other Kurt Cobain doc. Which is like, if you guys have ever seen... I saw a montage of Heck and it's fantastic. I recommend it to everybody. But for anyone that has a penchant to watch 9-11 conspiracy movies, like Loose Change, watch Soaked in Bleach.
Starting point is 00:26:00 It's like the same kind of thing. It's like the Loose Change of Kurt Cobain's conspiracy theories. You said that back there and I didn't know what it meant then either. Did you know loose change? What's loose change? It's a documentary which is all the different conspiracy theories
Starting point is 00:26:16 surrounding 9-11. I thought we were coming here to talk about 9-11. Was I wrong? I haven't listened to the podcast in so long The only doc I've seen about 9-11 Is the Oliver Stone one It wasn't a documentary
Starting point is 00:26:31 Should I have said Nicolas Cage? Would that have been funnier? Let's just, we'll cut that part out And I'll just say The only conspiracy doc about 9-11 I've seen starred Nicolas Cage. I'm not really
Starting point is 00:26:49 going to edit anything. But okay, so having seen this thing, what's it called again? Soaked in Bleach. Soaked in Bleach. I don't recommend it as far as good movies.
Starting point is 00:26:59 I recommend Montage of Heck, which is a fantastic movie. Is bleach spelled how the album? What? Is bleach spelled how the album bleach is spelled? Yes, and also the actual word. Oh, I how the album? What? Is bleach spelled how the album bleach is spelled? Yes, and also the actual word.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Oh, I thought the album was two E's and the word is E-A. No, no, no. Okay. I must have gotten some sort of weird bootleg. Who knows what I've been listening to all these years. It's Nirvana with two I's, right? Nirvana.
Starting point is 00:27:28 We're close to Nirvana. Not quite there. Out utero. Smells like, smells like... Is that it? That's all I got so far This isn't a hashtag war Settle down
Starting point is 00:27:50 No but Having seen that movie The bleach thing Yeah Do you now think that Someone killed Kurt Cobain And that he didn't
Starting point is 00:28:01 Take his own life Well here's the thing I'm very gullible All the time. It's like if you talk to me about one thing for long enough, I'd be like, that's a good point. But you kind of get immersed in it and you start to do that thing where you're like,
Starting point is 00:28:13 yeah, why is the shell casing on the other side of the body? Why did they do that? Why did this? But to assume that there was this crazy master plan by some people that probably couldn't pull it off, it's a bit far-fetched. I think everyone knows it was Saudi Arabia now. Right, exactly.
Starting point is 00:28:30 Kurt Cobain, World Trade Center. Brett's just sitting this conversation out over there. I brought it up backstage and he kind of gave me the, uh, I'd rather you didn't mention that moment. Oh, then you probably shouldn't have. Yeah, I had a lot of coffee before getting here.
Starting point is 00:28:51 But I'm trying to say that that one's dumb and yours is awesome. He's going to accept that silently. He's just sitting there thinking about Max. It's set against the... Most recent war. Michael, have you been to the cinema? I went to see...
Starting point is 00:29:21 I mean, you're not going to believe this, but there's another documentary about Kurt Cobain. And it's great. Very controversial. No, I watched a film recently. I didn't go to the cinema to see it, but I watched it on DVD at home. Yes, and it's called
Starting point is 00:29:47 The Host. Has anyone seen that? The Korean movie. That's a great movie. By Bong Joon-ho. Fantastic movie. I love all that guy's films. They're amazing. He went on to do Snowpiercer, right? He did. Snowpiercer was his first English language one, I think.
Starting point is 00:30:02 He did a fantastic serial killer one called Memories of Murder. Mother, which is a great one as well. So he's great. Yeah, check that guy out. Yeah. Good monster movie. Yeah. What's his name again?
Starting point is 00:30:14 Bong Joon-ho. But sometimes, apparently, he goes by, and I'm not joking, he goes by Joon-ho Bong. He just flips it. He just flips it. He just flips it. Why not? Yeah. Probably does it in that order when it's time for dinner.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Yeah. Or at 420, I don't know. In the second half of this show, if you could refer to me as Sheen Michael, I would prefer that. Why does Charlie Sheen embarrass you? You seen the doc about him? I met Martin Sheen once, and I was so tempted to say,
Starting point is 00:30:52 I want to be the son that you always wanted. But I didn't. I didn't. I think President Bartlett and Tony Blair got along pretty well, didn't they? Yeah. I was introduced to him as a woman took me over to him at a party, and she said, Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister. And you all laughed until you peed yourselves. I saw, what did I see?
Starting point is 00:31:18 On the plane, I saw Jupiter ascending. That looks bonkers. Expand your universe. Yes. I listened to this show. That's the tagline. Bring on the tagline, gang. I was surprised that Mila Kunis is the title character of a movie called Jupiter Ascending.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Her name in the movie is Jupiter. And at one point somebody says, hey, Jupiter, and she goes, call me Jupe. That's all I have to say
Starting point is 00:31:55 about that movie. Was that character's response? No, never. They just looked at her like, I'm uncomfortable calling you Jupiter. Why is Jupe better? Put another dime in the Jupe box.
Starting point is 00:32:13 This is the part of the show where I say, let the games begin. We're going to play some games and somebody's going to win all these prizes. Huh? The poster, huh? Nice poster. Maybe you can make the other side of the pillow this face.
Starting point is 00:32:41 I do realize that these gifts sort of depend on you being kind of into me. If you're not, they're absolute shit. There's some great movies in there. Is that Tinkerbell thing? Odyssey of Film? That's great. You did a great job.
Starting point is 00:33:00 It's a lot of great stuff. Everybody loves to take home a big bag of stuff. A lot of people stuff, and, you know, everybody loves to take home a big bag of stuff. Yeah. And they all brought, a lot of people brought name tags. And so the idea is now I need you guys to all pick out the name tag that you'd like to play for today, for whatever reason. If you're hungry, there's food items.
Starting point is 00:33:21 There's lots of things to choose from. So just go ahead and put your microphone down. Just go out into the audience and get it from them. Go grab it from them. And while you guys do that, we'll do this. We'll be right back. Hey, everybody. There's no sponsor for this episode,
Starting point is 00:33:39 but I just wanted to take a second to talk about the Traverse City Film Festival. I just wanted to take a second to talk about the Traverse City Film Festival. If you're in the Michigan-Mitten area, be sure to come from July 28th through August 2nd. It's an awesome film festival that I'll be attending for the second time. And this year, I'm going to do a Douglas Movies on Wednesday, July 29th. And then we're going to do a Benson Movie Interruption of Top Gun on Thursday the 30th. And then at midnight on
Starting point is 00:34:14 August 1st for the first time ever, I'm going to interrupt Speed. And you know what? I think I'm going to bring along Jeff Tate for all of the fun. So get your tickets now. Go to Douglovesmovies.com for links to all of my dates. I'm doing Doug Loves Movies all over the place this summer and in the fall.
Starting point is 00:34:36 And I can't wait to see you and your beautiful name tags. Let's go back to the show. We're back. Who are you playing for, Michael? You went deep into the crowd and came back with something very small. I did. I think I know why. It's because I'm on this one.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Yes. I am playing for, I assume, Allison. Allison Wonderland. It's Allison Wonderland, and there is a picture of, I believe it's you. That's my face over Johnny Depp's face. Yeah, and I believe it's Allison herself over the
Starting point is 00:35:11 face of, we are, what's the house? And no one over the face of me. I am in fact the white rabbit. Yeah, he's already got his face over yours. Yeah, so we could put the cushion over his face, perhaps. Yeah. And that would be smothering a rabbit.
Starting point is 00:35:28 Isn't there... Should there be a sequel to that happening? Didn't it make a gazillion dollars? Yeah. I was just... Funnily enough, I was in Warner Brothers the day before yesterday doing my stuff on it. So it will be coming out probably in about five years.
Starting point is 00:35:41 Do you remember, like, one line that you had to say as the rabbit? It's mainly Woo Alice woo What C-3PO was busy Cause he does voices now Anthony Daniels But that's a good one and it's got a shithead on the back, so don't read that. Good choice. Thanks.
Starting point is 00:36:10 Jonah, who are you playing for? I got Big Trouble and Little Rena. And it's got you and Kurt Russell, which I think would have been a better choice than The Rock for the remake. I'd imagine I want you in the remake of Big Trouble and Little China. Okay. Let's do a write-in campaign. All right, let's do it. Everybody would rather see me than The Rock.
Starting point is 00:36:30 No, don't get me wrong. I'm really excited to see The Rock in a remake of that movie. Because I love The Rock no matter what. He is pure charm. Wait, you started by really going after him and now you love him? We don't know what's true anymore. We don't know what's true anymore. We don't know what's true anymore. Okay, and who you play for, Brett?
Starting point is 00:36:49 Mac and me. So it's someone named Mac? It looks like a redhead named Mac Michelle, maybe. Mackenzie. Mackenzie? Mackenzie. All right. Mac Michelle.
Starting point is 00:37:03 There's a little icon. The unknown Scottish clan? Mac Michelle. Did you a little icon. The unknown Scottish clan. Mac Michelle. Did you ever see that film, Brett? That was a McDonald's film, wasn't it? It was a big ad for McDonald's. I didn't see that. That was a rip-off of E.T.
Starting point is 00:37:16 That was... And it was E.T. if he always looked like he was about to blow somebody. Which, as we know, E.T. only looked like that on occasion. He was a little bit more flexible than this guy. Yeah, it's a crazy-ass movie, and I recommend it
Starting point is 00:37:36 to anybody who wants to see something crazy-ass. Hey, let me ask in the booth, did we hear from Mark Wahlberg today at all? No? Okay. It would just be a recording of him if we did. But yeah, it's always fun when he does that. But he didn't get back to us today. So let's start off with, I know Michael's excited.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Let's play Whose Tagline Is It Anyway? It's a brand new game we've been playing. And I'll say the tagline from a movie to one of you, and then you have to guess what it is. But if there's a failed guess, the next guy in line gets a crack at it. So be thinking about it. And we'll start with you, Michael.
Starting point is 00:38:19 And you get to... I'm sorry, we'll start with you, Sheen, Michael. Thank you. Thank you, Bong Benson Tell me Tell me if you can What movie this was the tagline for From a dimension beyond the living A terror to scare you
Starting point is 00:38:41 To death This is quite threatening I like to survive When I go to the movies to scare you to death. This is quite threatening. Really, I like to survive when I go to the movies. But in this case, you would be scared to death. Do you have any idea what that is? Scared to death.
Starting point is 00:38:53 From a dimension beyond the living. Yeah. Is it Nightmare on Elm Street? No. Yeah. Yeah. Shit. That movie's from a dimension beyond being awake. That's true.
Starting point is 00:39:16 Any idea, Jonah, what this movie? Is it Hellraiser? No, that's another great clue, though. I hate that pinhead guy in those movies. I hate the chatter teeth guy. Tomato, tomato. Brett, do you have any idea what movie that's the tagline for? Is it Hellraiser 2?
Starting point is 00:39:44 I like that strategy. This just boggles my mind because I don't remember that being the tagline and it also just seems silly for a movie that was actually pretty cool. That was from the very first Tobey Hooper directed Poltergeist. Poltergeist.
Starting point is 00:40:03 That was the tagline for Poltergeist. Do it again. From a dimension beyond the living. A terror to scare you to death. Yeah, I don't know. That was somebody somebody left work early that day.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Somebody in the studio was just like, alright, let's just go with that. Do you have that Poltergeist tagline? I have this one we didn't use for Hellraiser. Oh, I have it now. That should be fine. Somebody was probably like, why don't we go with they're here?
Starting point is 00:40:41 And somebody else was like, that doesn't say anything about the movie. Who's they? Where's they? What is they? What dimension are they from? Alright let's do another one This is awesome Alright Michael
Starting point is 00:41:02 Seen Michael Trick or treat Or die All right, Michael. Scene Michael. Trick or treat or die. What movie was that the tagline for? Trick or treat or die. I'm going to have to go for the obvious here. Okay. Which is Halloween.
Starting point is 00:41:15 That's correct. Yeah! I thought it was a Benson bluff. Yeah. Man. Or it could have been that movie Trick or Treat. I was going to say Halloween 3. Really?
Starting point is 00:41:28 Yeah. That tagline had to be something about witches, right? Because that was the season of the witch. Oh, that's right. Yeah, yeah. I don't know what they said about him, though. All right, Jonah. Here's your...
Starting point is 00:41:39 We're going to move on to another one. So if you miss, you're going to be out. Because Michael got one. So if you miss, you're going to be out. Because Michael got one. She walked off the street, into his life, and stole his heart. Pretty woman. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:42:00 She sure did. And the countries, you know. All right, Brett. Here's one for you. Up there with the best of the best. Up there with the best of the best. That's not a critic blurb. That's their tagline.
Starting point is 00:42:24 That's what they thought would sell this movie. You're going to want to see this movie. Up there. The best of the best. Just cut me off whenever you need to move on. You have 45 minutes. It's going to stay unlimited, but we only go to six. Up there with the best of the best.
Starting point is 00:42:46 She's going to have to. Best in show. Yeah, that would make sense, maybe. We move on to Michael. For survival in this game, you have to come up with it, or it'll go to Jonah. Up there with the best of the best. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Broke it down, piece by piece. I was going to say the air up there. Who's up there? Who could be the best of the best? Air Bud! I thought perhaps Top Gun would have a much more well-known tagline. Yeah. Highway to the danger zone.
Starting point is 00:43:43 I feel the need. Yeah. Dot, dot, dot. Top cut. All right. I'm not gay. Just hanging with the boys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:56 All right, Jonah, you get to go first. Okay. And then Michael. Brett's out. Sorry, Brett. He doesn't give a shit. Michael. Brett's out. Sorry, Brett. He doesn't give a shit.
Starting point is 00:44:11 400 million people were waiting for the truth. 400 million people were waiting for the truth. What the fuck? 400 million people. Mm-hmm. So it's like the world. I'm sorry, I read it wrong.
Starting point is 00:44:33 The world were waiting for the truth. Soaked in bleach. No. No. Soaked in bleach No God I don't Nothing Contact
Starting point is 00:44:55 No Michael Is it little Buddha But you win our game because you lasted the longest, and this particular one is from Frost Nixon. Oh, my God! He's so good at this game. That's good. It shows you're not a narcissist.
Starting point is 00:45:25 You don't sit around looking at your own movie posters. I knew it was familiar. Is it on the DVD cover of the movie? Yes, it is. All right. That was great. Michael's our winner. There's not going to be any more of that kind of thing,
Starting point is 00:45:52 is there, in this? What's that mean? I mean, me using your movies and seeing if you can recognize them? Yes. That's exactly what I mean. It's, you know, it's all random. I put stuff in and forget about it, and then it just turns out to be a fun coincidence.
Starting point is 00:46:12 Doug loves movies sponsored by Saudi Arabia. We've got a category in Letterman Game called You're In This, so that one might have a movie that you were in. But Jonah's made some films. One. What was that? What was it? Mama's Boy, starring John Heder.
Starting point is 00:46:35 Somebody saw it. The scene I was in was with John Heder, Adam Devine from Workaholics, and a guy from the Big Bang Theory. So everyone else in the Adam Devine from Workaholics and a guy from the Big Bang Theory. So everyone else in the scene I'm in are literal millionaires. And I live in Highland Park.
Starting point is 00:46:56 But hey, it's all about the art. Was traffic messed up when Obama went to Marin's garage? No. I actually waited on the street. He was supposed to drive down York and 51, and I was waiting on the street with a bunch of other bozos. Then some guy, literally in clown makeup,
Starting point is 00:47:15 was riding his cruiser bike down the hill going, he went over Townsend. And everyone was like, fine! Literal clown makeup. I swore that day, if I could take my vote back, I would have. Let's play a game called Last Man Stanton.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Named after the great Harry Dean Stanton who came on the show and when we played this game with his own films he won so we're all very happy for him is that another dig at me? no it was pretty hilarious
Starting point is 00:48:02 because he's old and has been in over 200 movies. And he had as much difficulty thinking of his own movies as we did. But he still won. He prevailed because he thought of one more than anybody else. But today we're going to do... How do I pick who's going to be the name that we use? Oh, this gentleman right up here in the front row seems confident.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Is it written in a foreign language on your arm? Did you get a tattoo to remind yourself what it is? An actor or actress who's been in a ton of stuff? Gene Hackman. Gene Hackman, I love it. Alright, Gene Hackman. So I'm going to play two
Starting point is 00:48:43 and we'll start with Michael and go to Jonah and then to Brett and then to me. And all you got to do is just name a Gene Hackman movie until we run out. If you can't think of one, or you guess something.
Starting point is 00:49:07 Fuck. Is all this laughter because except for Michael and me, it seems like maybe this is gonna be tough? Let's try it. Let's let Michael go first. It might jar something. The Royal Denenbaum.
Starting point is 00:49:25 Yes. Enemy of the State. Yeah. That's right. Alright, Brett. The Conversation. Uh-huh. I'll go with
Starting point is 00:49:42 Young Frankenstein. It's one scene. He plays the old blind guy. I'm going to go with... French Connection. Enemy of the state. I'm out. I'm out.
Starting point is 00:50:04 I'm fucking out. of the States. I'm out. I'm out. Let's talk about it. You're really already out? Yeah, I don't know. I'm not conceding,
Starting point is 00:50:14 but in case I forget for the next round, I have to say it now. French Connection Part 2. You were next. You were next. Yeah, I know. So that's where you want to go with French Connection Part 2?
Starting point is 00:50:23 I'm pretty sure he was in the sequel Was confirmation I think that one probably hinged on him being in it Although Robin Williams eventually played Popeye French Connection jokes, the kids love them Gene Hackman. I have to, of course, say Hoosiers.
Starting point is 00:50:48 Hoosiers. The Conversation. I think we said that one already. Oh, you did? Yeah, Brett said that one. Yeah, yeah. You could come up with another one, though. The Great Gene Hacken. Oh, I just thought of one.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Oh, there's another one. I got one. You got any more, Michael? Yeah. Isn't this harder to play than when you're listening to it? Oh, yeah. When you're up here, it's super hard. What was that one that he was in?
Starting point is 00:51:45 I just thought of it. I know. Yes. Yeah. Say it. Yeah. Spit it out. No.
Starting point is 00:52:00 Not in the middle of the stage. See, I'm going to give away what it is now to someone else, but I can't. You can't think of that one where you do that thing? All right, I'm going to give away what it is now to someone else, but I can't. You can't think of that one where you do that thing? All right, I'm going to help you out. Yeah, give it away to Brett. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Clint Eastwood. Yeah. Oh, got it, got it, got it. You're out of time. Got it. All right, Michael's out. Everyone can hold back on that one, yeah. All right, Brett.
Starting point is 00:52:20 Say it. What's it called? You know what? Well, I wasn't going to say it but then you will say it so I'm unforgiven. Yes. That's right.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Unforgiven. How about Loose Cannons? Is anyone confirming that that's a film? I don't believe there's a film called Loose Cannons.
Starting point is 00:52:43 I am calling bullshit that there's a film. Like everyone Candid. I am calling bullshit that there's a film. Like, everyone in this room just went along with that. Like, oh yeah, Loose Candid. No one knows this movie Loose Candid with Dan Aykroyd. How do you do it with Dan Aykroyd? Someone would say something if I was wrong. All right.
Starting point is 00:52:58 I'm going to say... Or we'll find out tomorrow. Is it my turn? Yes, sir. It's just you and me. Oh, shit. This guy's looking shit up on his phone. And he's completely invested. Should we wait?
Starting point is 00:53:11 I think we should wait. Go ahead. I can't wait anyway. This other phone, we've got the answer. Put your phone away. Don't get your phone out during the show. Do the phones go to different internets? The booth just gave me the thumbs up. The booth's internet says
Starting point is 00:53:27 I'm right. I don't care what audience internet says. I was going to say the Coppola film Garden of Valor Garden of Stone. Right? Yeah. Where's the help? That sounds about right
Starting point is 00:53:45 They're not supposed to help you They know that Excuse me Don't help me Right? Wait, all of you fell for the Dan Aykroyd And now one of you is going for a fucking garden of stone? It sounds legit
Starting point is 00:53:58 It's legit Well, you didn't have confidence You have to be with more confidence You have to be with Garden of Stone Oh, Garden of Sun. It doesn't matter how confident you are. It's Al Kilmer. Next.
Starting point is 00:54:16 All right, I'll go with... How about... Let's do his last film that he made. Because you've got to go out on a classic. Welcome to Mooseport. With Ray Romano? Has anyone said Toy? Toy? The Barry Levinson
Starting point is 00:54:36 film? Oh, The Toy. Do you need Hackman's in that? Yeah, he is. Sure is. I don't think he is In fact I'm not even going to look I'm positive he's not in it Okay I'll just throw one more in there For fun A little movie called Superman
Starting point is 00:55:00 And then several of the sequels. And, yeah, but Brett is our winner. You did it. Do I get Michael's prizes? Nope. I want that makeup test picture. It's just looking at you. Gotta turn that makeup test picture. It's just looking at you. You've got to turn that into a pillow.
Starting point is 00:55:29 Yeah, if the guests want something in the bag, I'm going to give it to them. What's happening? You handed it to me, so I'm checking it out. Ah, give it back. Okay. I really wanted you to have it, but somebody's going to get it. Brett, do you have any idea how the Leonard Maltin game works?
Starting point is 00:55:53 I do. I actually read it up outside on Wikipedia, believe it or not. If you look up your show on Wikipedia, they describe the Leonard Maltin show. Let me see if I can get this straight, Doug. Okay. You're going to give me a caption of a Leonard Maltin review and we're going to tell you what the film is.
Starting point is 00:56:13 You have to guess based on the actors' names in the film. Leonard always lists a ton of actors so I'll tell you how many it is and then we start the bidding at the maximum number and we bid down until somebody tells somebody next to them to name it. And you get to pick the first category, so that's good. Documentary.
Starting point is 00:56:34 Get it a little bit into your wheelhouse. So many great casts in documentaries. Kurt Cobain documentaries that came out this year is to be. That's still two movies, apparently. I haven't even heard of this other thing until Jonah came into the room. You get to pick between... They're suggested oftentimes by people on Twitter, the categories. That Jammer Josh suggested
Starting point is 00:57:08 Going Clear, which is in fact a documentary. But this particular category is movies that have an invisible character in them. Or I Said Good Day. And that is Daniel Day-Lewis movies
Starting point is 00:57:25 that Leonard Maltin gave three stars or more. I said good day. That's good day. Mmm, good day. And then your third option is Passenger 50 Slevin, which is the films of Josh Hartnett or Wesley Snipes. There's only one Wesley Snipes. Little 30 rock reference.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Which one of those? Which one of those do you like? As much as I think the crowd would like to hear the third, I'm going to have to support my documentarians and do Going Clear for $300. Well, this certainly isn't a documentary. Somebody's invisible in it.
Starting point is 00:58:17 And Leonard only gave it two stars. And the year, it's a tough one, 1967. Yeah. And the year, it's a tough one, 1967. Yeah. And Leonard says about this movie that it's silly and that it's a kitty feature. Kitty. Kitty. Or kitty.
Starting point is 00:58:39 K-I-D-D-I-E. Kitty feature. Not the cat from outer space. Like he's from outer space not the cat from outer space like he's from outer space he also can go invisible it's a strange world and here's another strange thing Leonard only lists four names associated with being in this film
Starting point is 00:59:00 so Brett I would recommend for an opening bid just to, you know, say I can name it in four names at least to get all the names. I say four names,
Starting point is 00:59:10 but I think I could do it in two. For reals? I certainly, well, wow. Apparently not. So if I'm not committed,
Starting point is 00:59:20 I'll stick with four. Okay, good call. Jonah? Name that movie. I'll give you all four names. Wait, I thought I just had to pick a name. They didn't explain this part. I was prepared to give you a name, one of the cast members' names.
Starting point is 00:59:43 Oh, that's interesting. That's a totally different game. Kurt Russell. No. No, I named for you all four of these names. Great. And then if you can tell me the name of the movie. Okay, go for it.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Then you'll win a point. If you don't, then Jonah gets a point. Why does Jonah get the point? Because he just challenged you. Oh, all right. Yeah. And getting all the names should make it easy, but this is from 1967, and it's a kiddie movie. Go for it, man.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Here we go. Go for it. Go for it. Ethel Ennis, Gable Garnett, Boris Karloff, and Phyllis Diller. The top billed person in this movie from 1967 is Phyllis Diller. You would think that would make it easy with the Phyllis Diller part.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Ably supported by Boris Karloff. I think if you'd seen this movie, then you would know the answer for Phyllis Diller for sure. I'm not going to take up any of your time, man. I'm just going to bow out right now. I'm just moving on. Please hurry.
Starting point is 01:00:50 Yeah, this was a tough one. Do you think, Jonah, do you have any idea? No. It was something I liked when I was a kid, and it's got the Invisible Man in it because it's about all the famous monsters getting together and having a party, and it's called Mad Monster Party. Oh. Yeah, and it's a kiddie movie
Starting point is 01:01:06 where Phyllis Diller was like the, she was the bride of Frankenstein in it, and very funny, actually, and it's got good songs, too. But it's very slowly paced by today's standards, so don't watch it because I said it. And Jonah Ray's on the board with one point. Bam!
Starting point is 01:01:23 Bam! Strategy! I said it. And Jonah Ray's on the board with one point. Bam! Strategy. Michael gets to pick the next category, and then we'll go to Jonah, so Brett, this might not even get to you, but listen up anyway. No. Not unless it gets to you.
Starting point is 01:01:40 It just so happens. The order switches each time, so the different dynamic will hopefully occur. I have a feeling Joe's just going to sit in the middle going, name it, name it, name it. It's what I do every fucking time I'm on the show. And I win sometimes. Okay, your category options,
Starting point is 01:01:59 Gene, Michael, are... I think you might find this really weird, what's about to happen. 588-2300. Empire. Oh, you know it. Michael's saying it louder than anybody. So you've had a lot more TV here than I thought you'd watched. And that, of course, is actors from the TV show Empire.
Starting point is 01:02:25 Of course. In film. And then Mount Cushmore is the four people that I most want to smoke weed with and actually have. The films of Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson, Cheech, or Chong. And then your third option, Jay Boogie Down suggested The Toxic Avenger.
Starting point is 01:02:50 And that's Robert Downey Jr. movies that Leonard gave two stars or less. Because he's the toxic Avenger. Which one of those do you like? I'm going to go with the Robert Downey Jr.
Starting point is 01:03:09 Okay. This movie's got Robert Downey Jr. in it. It's from 2009. Two stars from Leonard. He calls this movie murky, noisy, and he says the CGI effects
Starting point is 01:03:23 the overuse of CGI effects is deadening. Yeah, it really, really hurt Leonard to have to watch it. My words, not his. But he did say that the CGI effects are deadening. And then he lists two, three, four, five, seven names. How many names do you think you can get it in? MS, and I won't call you that again. That's horrible disease.
Starting point is 01:03:56 How many names did he list? Seven. I will name that movie in three. So it is going to be what I predicted, Jonah. Hold on. 2009, you say? Mm-hmm. Oh, name the movie.
Starting point is 01:04:24 Okay, here's your three names. James Fox, Kelly Riley, Eddie Marzan. Sherlock Holmes. That's correct. Fuck! I would have gotten that. I would have said Iron Man 2. I would have said Iron Man 2.
Starting point is 01:04:48 Is Robert Downey Jr. doing a good accent in those Sherlock Holmes movies? Jonah. You know what? I think it's tip top. He really nails it. He really does. He puts it right across the plate. He sounds like
Starting point is 01:05:05 Chaplin, he does. Because how are we to know? I just can't concentrate when I'm watching him do it because it's like Robert Downey Jr. doing an act. His fame sort of
Starting point is 01:05:20 eclipsed his ability to disappear in a character, I think. But then I saw The Judge and I changed my mind. That character's nothing like Tony Stark. Or the guy from Due Date. So, um... One of his classic characters.
Starting point is 01:05:39 So, yeah, Michael's got a point, and Jonah's got a point, and we're gonna start with you again there, Brett, and then go to Jonah. We'll see what happens. Your first option is my wife, and that, of course, is films of Sacha Baron Cohen. People keep writing me on Twitter saying,
Starting point is 01:06:01 you should make that the films of his wife. And it's like, we did that already. I want to do his films and I also like yelling my wife. And your other options are, you're in this, a movie that someone in this panel is in.
Starting point is 01:06:19 Or probably me. Mama is walking in. So embarrassing You'll see Michael Or Fast Batch Cumberbender And that's the films of Michael
Starting point is 01:06:44 Fast Bender and Benedict Cumberbatch Cumberbender. And that's the films of Michael Fastbender and Benedict Cumberbatch. There's a guy on the East Coast time zone enjoying Fastbatch Cumberbender. It's Benedict and Michael are sitting at the back. We all stick together. Doug, can you repeat the first one for me, please? Can I repeat it? Oh, it's Sacha Baron Cohen movies. Yeah, can you repeat the first one for me, please? Can I repeat it? Oh, it's Sacha Baron Cohen movies. Yeah, I'll do that one.
Starting point is 01:07:08 Okay. This one is from 2006. Leonard lists three people. He gives it three and a half stars. And he says about the film that it's one of a kind, and that it also has elements of racism, sexism, and homophobia. Now, Brett, if you think you know what this movie is, you could bid as low as zero names.
Starting point is 01:07:40 You could say zero names, and then you would just have to name it if challenged. Or you could say negative names, which then you would just have to name it if challenged. Or you could say negative names, which means you could bid like negative one, you'd name the movie and the top billed person. Or negative two, you'd have to name the top two billed people. Let me ask you something, Doug. Please.
Starting point is 01:07:55 Is there a response in which he gets a negative point? Hey. Is there any way we can take Jonah's points away? I mean, I could just do it arbitrarily. I consider myself the opposite of Chris Hardwick. So I'm going to have a show where I take away points! We will just go for it on that one. Whatever that...
Starting point is 01:08:17 You want to say zero names? You don't say the name yet, though. Oh. I don't say the name. All right, I'm going to go no names. Okay, he says no names, Jonah. I can do it in negative one names. Now, hold on a second.
Starting point is 01:08:34 But isn't that Sacha Baron Cohen? A negative of a negative is still negative. What? What? Now, Michael, I've got gotta remind you that it's important to say the correct title. Now everybody gets why I've been pushing this category. Fuck.
Starting point is 01:09:04 That's bullshit. And name that movie. All right, Jonah. We're going to need the full title and the name of the top-billed person. Cool. I will give you the title as I've seen it on DirecTV's Guide.
Starting point is 01:09:26 The movie title is Borat. It doesn't say anything after that, and the lead person in it is Sacha Baron Cohen. But let's say you're on a game show, and you had to say the full title in order to win.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Then what would your answer be? Well, are we in that situation? Let's pretend we are. I'm not good at improv. I don't know if I can. Let's just go with my
Starting point is 01:10:01 answer and then move on. Give me the old point. Do you not even want to try? The Borat. The extraterrestrial. It's... It's... An adventure in...
Starting point is 01:10:25 What is it? In... And his or in his. It's like there's lots of versions of it. Yeah, it's a... And I've given up on thinking that that's the title. Yeah. It's Borat and the, uh...
Starting point is 01:10:36 But this one, Leonard laid it all out. And it's hilarious to me. Oh, fuck. Because I knew this is what would happen. I'm not going to get it. It's like someone would get cornered Let me give you one of the words Of
Starting point is 01:10:49 You got your wish you piece of shit Yeah you piece of shit. Poor rat. The sons make Kazakhstan a more better country. No. It's called... Wait, you challenged him, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:23 So Michael's our winner, everybody. Yeah. It was a tough game. I threw a tough game at you guys. I still got some tough ones in here. Of course, Sasha Baron Cohen was top billed, followed by Ken Davidian and Pamela Anderson. And the movie's called Borat,
Starting point is 01:11:43 Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit, Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan yeah yeah but there's some people out there that know that whole title does anyone know it off the top of their head? yeah there was somebody pretty close isn't good enough when you're in a game show and you have to know the whole title
Starting point is 01:12:00 have you seen the gift bag that's available? yeah you already are one of the hearts and minds of the entire audience. I'm just a kid from Highland Park trying to make a go at it in this crazy business. I talk a big game like I'm more famous
Starting point is 01:12:18 and better than you, but I'm not. I'm Chris Hardwick's friend. Weren't you in Mama's Boy? Oh my god. Always nice to meet a fan. Leonard gives Mama's Boy one and a half stars. He says it's an
Starting point is 01:12:47 irredeemably clumsy comedy. Clunky, I'm sorry. Clunky. And then comedy is in quotes. The last line of the review is barely released and for good reason.
Starting point is 01:13:06 Redeemed only by the performance of Jonah Ray. Can I see that? Screen grab it. Send it to me. I'll put it on Instagram. Did you ever watch Mama's Boy? No.
Starting point is 01:13:21 I knew it was bad when I was there. But it's got an incredible cast. It does. Yeah. Diane Keaton, Jeff Daniels, Anna Faris. Yeah. Those are all great people. Eli Wallach.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Simon Helper. Is he alive still? We don't need no stinking badges. Wow. Mary Kay Place, Sarah Chalk, and Laura Keitlinger's in it. Yes. All right. I'll watch that.
Starting point is 01:13:49 Trying to watch 365 movies this year, so I'll try to get that one in. Put it in my queue. You can go to Amoeba and get it for 50 cents. Really? Literally 50. Curtis Jackson will sell it to me? Yeah. Michael?
Starting point is 01:14:03 Or you could win the bag and just watch Frost Nixon and the Queen and Tron. That is an amazing triple bill. It really takes you through time. A lot of history in there. Apparently 400 million people are waiting for it. Or the world, as Jonah likes to call it. Alright, Allison, come get your bags and bags of stuff.
Starting point is 01:14:33 Congratulations. Congratulations. Now if you need a poster to for the Bruce Gutter poster I can get one of those in the back you gotta keep in a good condition I thought we'd keep the poster separate because you don't want to dent it even though Jonah already has a little bit
Starting point is 01:15:00 No, it was just on a wall Oh really? You pulled it off of a wall? Yeah, I'm real strong. What's gonna replace it? I don't care. Just wall. Just a piece of wall. Masters of Sex
Starting point is 01:15:23 is back July 12th. Sex is back July 12th. It is back July 12th. I remember that from the top of the show. The Night Before is Seven Days in Hell on HBO. Which is... Oh, that's the tennis thing with Andy Samberg. Kit Harington and you.
Starting point is 01:15:40 No, I'm just saying that's on The Night Before. No, I'm in that. And also I think Spoils Before D's on the night before. No, I'm in that. And also, I think, Spoils Before Dying on the Independent Film Channel. Which is a follow-up to Spoils of Babylon. That's correct. And Far From the Madding Crowd, the movie. It's in theaters, yes.

Starting point is 01:16:37 perfect you heard it here first Doug people in the hotel room next to me hate my guts when I'm on the road and it's on HBO because I'll just turn it up real loud and just enjoy it. Anything else to plug, Brett? No, but we're going back in the theaters nationwide August 7th. I'm sure everyone was kind of surprised by how many people wanted to see it and then it was right before all the big summer blockbusters and shit.
Starting point is 01:17:07 So, like, it's great that it's coming back and people can see it that way. You know what? It was intended to be seen in a movie theater. And Universal Pictures took it out everywhere else outside the U.S. But we did a deal with HBO in the States. But the response when we opened it here was so great that we decided to put it back in theaters so people can sort of experience it loud and the way it's supposed to be.
Starting point is 01:17:29 Yeah, with other people, and probably a good chance they're a little high. Jonah Ray, The Meltdown returns to Comedy Central. Yes, Tuesday, June 30th. Just mere days before the season three premiere of Ray Donovan on Showtime. Donna fans, unite. Save Bungie.

It was Emily Gordon, the producer, she just kind of, when Was that the argument, ultimately? I don't know. It was Emily Gordon, the producer.
Starting point is 01:18:26 She just kind of, when she made the title, she just said, oh, it should just be with Jonah Kamel. And I think it's just because Jonah Kamel's JK. Just kidding. Yeah. That just says comedy right there. It does. Yeah.
