My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you on Sunday, July 30th. All right, hang on for a second. 2023, Kingsmen, the Golden Circle of Friends with Benefits, a wonderful life as we know it could happen to you all. We live twice in a lifetime, Cop and a half, Nelson.

My guests today are two returning champs, and one is just a great all-around champion at life And they are Morgan J, Amy Miller, and Jeff Tate Hello Hi, Doug And everybody Hi, everybody What's going on?

I'm here to have a good time. I wonder who that was. We never get to hear Jeff's beautiful singing voice. I hope we get to hear it throughout the show today. Let's meet all of you individually and alphabetically by first name, starting with a winner from what show did you won on the show recently, right? It's Amy Miller Yes

Woo I don't remember which one So many wins under my belt It's hard to keep track Did you win in person Or over Zoom No I won over Zoom Okay

So that was a week or two ago I guess And it's great to have you back Great to be back And Have you been to the cinema lately Yes I did been to the cinema lately um yes i did go to the cinema all right well that's good we're promoting that but then what do you do as a uh you know there's a striking writer performer what do you do about uh talking about a movie you just saw it's because we're

supposed to not promote the big studio product right i know it's weird i've been talking about it privately in underground bunkers with friends so i can't tell you what i saw but jennifer lawrence was great in it oh okay one of the barbies and i heard she might have showed up in oppenheimer because they need ladies in that movie so that there can be nudity that men would enjoy. Oh, that's good. That's important. Good for you guys.

Right? I hear, like, I hear, she doesn't even play a topless dancer, but I hear once Florence Pugh is topless in every scene she's in. Oh, Jennifer Lawrence gets fully naked in this movie did you see that yeah i've heard that yeah she's like running around the beach naked fully with all everything's showing that's wild it's very funny too it's like a will ferrell nude scene yeah it's really great

i can't tell you what it is but boy was it funny no i got a lot of good laughs out of it well that's good well you know uh it's a big studio release or whatever so you know i can't support it wholeheartedly at this time but i was very excited about the prospect of of her doing a comedy and people were like what like like she's some sort of dramatic actress like even in her dramatic roles like you could just tell she's like a like a kind of a fun person if she wasn't under so much you know stress as having to be in a uh a competition where children kill each other she's pretty serious in those movies uh we're also joined by our winner from the live uh you know live audience dynasty typewriter show last sunday jeff tate hey jeff hey what's up everybody

hello uh what was up with the uh you know that lady that talked through the whole show that on that day do you did you have any guesses as to what her deal was i i man i have no idea that lady drove me crazy she was obviously you know friend of a friend of a fan and came in late it was like the perfect storm uh i perhaps it was her first time at a show of any kind? I think so, of any kind. Of any kind. Yeah, and I can't blame alcohol, but it might have been a factor because there was a real inability to just go ahead and stop doing what she was doing, no matter how many times I asked her. And sometimes I'd whisper to her off mic, I'd whisper to her off mic, please stop talking.

Yeah. Just so the listeners at home wouldn't be like, what is going on? to her off mic i'd whisper to her off mic please stop talking yeah just like the audience the listeners at home wouldn't be like what is going on because it's you know it's the dynasty tyrant is a great facility it's a nice theater but it's you know it's run like a you know uh like a community theater or something there's no bouncers per se or you know nobody the bouncer is watching the front door he's not in the showroom looking for troublemakers because everybody comes to the shows they're real you know the crowds are real nice well let me tell you i've toured with jeff and these women find him in every state in the nation they find us both good thing we're both notoriously even-tempered about it yeah we have we have solid reputations for just going with

the flow not having white hot irish rage about it it also there's like a convert the conversational aspect of how we do stand-up and how the douglas movies goes it just takes people the only answer i'll accept is if uh i'm just gonna hate her until somebody puts a comment like well you know she had a motorcycle accident or so then you're like oh i feel bad yeah we couldn't ever tell what was up with her and she wasn't one of those ones that showed up afterwards to be like i was the one that you talked to like she got out of there so i didn't get to meet her and maybe her friend too bad maybe her friend that brought her there like just dragged her out of there maybe she was embarrassed i don't know maybe she's listening to this now i mean it's no hard feelings or anything it was just weird how she just wouldn't take the instruction of not

she commented on everything that was happening as it was happening like she was recording her own podcast of like a live podcast you know commenting on a live podcast i'd love to be a guest on that one uh you know and everybody on stage was really nice about it they let me do all the yelling at um but it was it was strange um but uh here's a shout out though to uh as the story goes i guess one angry audience member that had enough of her at the very end of the show as he was leaving through his like empty popcorn tub at her and then the least painful object yeah exactly and then her response was that that's mature. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Real mature. Yeah, real mature.

I'm so sure. Real mature. I saw Valley Girl last night, and that sounds like right out of that movie. It is. She was something, that lady. I'm sorry. Apologies to the audience member that couldn't take it anymore. He just blew up at the last minute.

On his way out, he probably knew that he was committing mild assault, so he should probably get the fuck out of there. I think it's the perfect response to it, because you make your point without doing any damage. Right right but also that lady just thinks somebody threw a popcorn box at her for no reason like she was she could not reason with her at all on the topic of whether it's appropriate to talk during a stage performance she gets hit by a popcorn bucket and is like, excuse me, I'm trying to host a show right now. Well, joining us for the first time is a Los Angeles comedy phenom, if I may say so myself.

And he's got a lot of tricky buttons at his disposal. It's Morgan Jay. Yeah, what's going on good to be here it's like his daft punk came on a podcast hey y'all very good to be here i don't know if you could tell i leaned in very hard to the virtual zoom comedy performing space quarantine was long quarantine was a long time and I needed to pay bills so I'm very happy to be here thank you so much

I was just going to say you can put this to music if you want and I like your name I like the name Jay as the last name because it rhymes with yay ah yeah but you know what's a great name too you know what's a great name too you know what's a great name too i already had it ready to go

for you i love it ready to go um but no it really is cool to be here. And I'm excited to chat and just have a good time with y'all. You know, Doug, we got introduced. We did a show at, I think it was Jam in the Van. And that's when I met you for the first time. And I came on stage with you. You were doing your jokes. And I played some guitar in the background a little bit. And it was a lot of fun.

It was a good time. Yeah, I want to do that again sometime. I love that sort of thing, you know, because as long as the person is you know good at it like you are it's just really fun to just have like a you know sort of improvised reaction right there to what i'm saying and then i have to respond to that you know yeah and i think that the thing is i i did stand up for a while and i do musical comedy now but if you do you have just a straight musician i think we're they don't know when to like step back sometimes you know what i mean and like you said the dj keeps dropping the beat and you're like well this is just distracting now

you know what i mean i'd rather do i'd rather do less than do more you know what i'm saying uh that's what i'd rather do i love it yeah but thank you again for having me good approach and uh before we play some games today uh i have this segment i call recommendation nation where i ask everybody to recommend a movie and lately i've been doing like specific categories like i asked for uh protest movies on the last i thought people might be into you know finding a good protest movie. And Jeff suggested White Riot, which I was not familiar with, but reading up on it seems fascinating. So I'm going to probably watch that because he brought it up. But due to popular demand,

aka one guy on Twitter, now called X, I'm opening up to all movies. We're just back to just try it for a week, see how it goes. Just recommend one movie from the history of cinema that you feel people should watch for whatever your personal motivations are. Amy, could you go first? Sure. Yeah, I mean, I already mentioned it, but I watched Valley Girl last night at hollywood for which i don't i don't think that's scabbing to promote

right not at all that's a fantastic movie it was sponsored by a streamer but i'm not going to mention that yeah um but it's an old ass movie where i think it probably fell in the pocket of that they do get residuals yeah yes yeah yes and he has his original teeth it's very wild um he's super young whatever's happening with nicholas cage right now i love it he's everywhere people are screening all his movies like it's a cage of songs. I'm enjoying it. But I haven't seen it in years and it's so fun. It's just such a good,

like summer movie too, especially. There's something for everybody in their cages. Filmography's done every kind of movie. Like if you just said to somebody, what's your favorite genre movie, you could probably give them a good Nick Cage recommendation, but Valley Girl

of course is just a fun... I don't know where they get with those Hollywood Forever funeral... not funeral, but cemetery screenings. I know they do some Halloween scary movies around October, but valley girls an

interesting choice to be just sitting amongst tombstones while watching that yeah and the director martha coolidge was there and she spoke a little bit e.g daily was there like that's the fun thing about screenings in la too is that people like show up because they're like i don't have anything else to do tonight. Especially during the strikes. Did anybody scream shut up you rug rat? No, but she does have a lot of bare breasts

in Valley Girl on a very big screen in the cemetery while she was there and that was an interesting vibe. I hope she got her whole family to come to the screening in the cemetery of her boobs. It would be weird to just look at your young boobs in front of so many people.

That's something to be proud of, I guess. Jeff, what do you think? Have you thought of the movie? What do you think about young boobs, Jeff? No, not at all. Not for the young boobs. Young boobs. Come on, Morgan.

Young boobs. We love them. We need the milk. Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I added milk at the end of that. The last part was unnecessary. I mean, You can't

promote the studios right now, so you've got to get your money somewhere. The milk people, they're always buying all that advertising. Keep it up. If I'm in a case right now, it has to be a movie that features milk. I can't be the politician.

The only one I can think of is Anchorman. Anchorman. I'm trapped in a box of ocean. That's basically what Morgan just said. Milk is a bad choice. I'm sorry. Jeff's going to need a minute it's not funny acting like a young boob oh man oh look at all the young boobs that's my favorite song love some young food.

This is not what Doug wants. No. Reputationally on his show. We're going to get lumped in with Tom Hanks now. All right. Jeff, what's your true recommendation? What would you like to recommend? This is my go-to whenever it's

open ended is I just like to recommend the movie safeman i don't think enough more people need to see safeman it's so funny sam rockwell and steve zahn and god i love it i'm sure i'm sure i bring it up a lot but summer sam rockwell is amazing he's such a good he's good at everything he's my number one actor crush so good and he just dances well he just does everything right sorry i was pulling up the trailer now i'm worried i think you're gonna cheat now i don't trust this guy to me like you're just gonna watch a movie while doing the podcast. I was like, I want to watch that. I can split my attention.

This isn't that hard. They come to me every third time they talk about something. So, I mean, I'm the third in line when a subject comes up. But do you have a movie you recommend, Morgan? Yeah, I mean, look, I'm a big Star Trek nerd. I've literally been to conventions i've moderated panels uh i was gonna i wanted to pick a star trek movie that i think it goes under the radar but uh star trek the voyage home which is uh if you don't know that

one that's a movie where they have to go back in time to steal a humpback whale yeah it's in san francisco right in san francisco and i love it it's so fun or like it's just a fun movie i don't know i i like it i like all the star trek movies to be honest with you but i i thought that one was just a really it's just like a ridiculous concept uh what are the whales called do you remember i don I don't remember. I know there's like a – I know one for sure, and the other one rhymes with it. Oh. But the trouble is I can't think – so I always just say something wrong for the rhyming one, but just because it sounds almost right. I think their names are Corky and Sporky.

I don't – Tickalus and Nicholas. I don't know what they are, but – But Corky doesn't ring a bell? I think one of them is seriously Corky because that poor actress has to seriously say, we have to save Corky. And I think that's his name. I forget.

Or her name. I do forget. But I do remember, like, I think at one point, I think it's funny in the movie. She's like, are you guys from space? I think she's like, are you guys? Anytime they have to explain, like, something's going on. Are you spacemen or something like that? I think that happens in the movie she's like are you guys from space i think she's like are you guys anytime they have to explain like she's something's going on are you spacemen or something like that i think that happens in the movie it's been a while since i've seen it but i do like that movie and it does have um it has the uh you know scene early on where like captain kirk and spock are

like have to take a city bus in san francisco so there's a guy with a purple mohawk and that that's like as crazy as it gets and they gotta turn his they gotta he has to turn his music does he do the vulcan grip on him to oh maybe he might like put him to sleep because he doesn't want it because he was very annoying yeah what year did that movie come out uh it came out in the 80s at some point yeah i mean the story behind star trek is so crazy because it was a failed show they canceled it and then like 10 years later they made the movies so very interesting yeah but that's a good uh that's an interesting selection to get people to go back and uh check that out can i share a fun fact yes please uh-huh fun facts with Amy Miller. So right before that, when I was a kid,

Marine World moved from Marin to the East Bay. So they actually transported all the whales across the bay, just dragging them in a big net. And then whatever the whales' names are, they're like a shout- to yaka and vika who are the marine world killer whales but you know they're always changed out obviously they're not the same whales because they keep killing them um but it was very confusing as a little kid because i didn't know if it was fantasy or reality and that movie came out i was just like

we're just constantly moving big whales across this bay like what's happening shout out to yaka and vika boy were they great at jumping with their lymphins big shout out to yaka let's go Let's go. Jeff is loving this. Yeah, he's having a really nice time. I can't stop. I'm sorry.

Real mature, Jeff. Real mature. Real mature, Jeff. real mature jeff he's never gonna stop laughing oh my god really set him off. Okay. So I've been trying to figure out the names of those whales because now it's driving me crazy. But I guess I'll just have to bring it up. George and Gracie. Oh, that actually sounds all right. That sounds great. That's it. George and Gracie.

So I changed Gracie into Corky. Because I saw it so long ago, you know, but always found a place in my heart to laugh at it because it's just funny how dramatic it gets trying to save these whales. I know, it's crazy. And you don't expect that in a in a star trek movie like star trek movies were always conscious of the environment and whatnot

but and had a message a lot of the time but somehow that one became one of the most fun star trek installments and became part of that whole mythology of that every other star trek movie is good like part two is good part Part 4 is good. Part 6 is good. Yeah, it's wild. But also it's funny when you did such a long lead up to saying a Star Trek movie, I thought you were going to really burn all the Star Trek

and Star Wars fans by then saying a Star Wars movie. You know, going on about Star Trek. My favorite has to be empire strikes back star trek episode five yeah but you played the sincere card and i appreciate it and thank you for all those recommendations we're gonna play some games right after the break we'll be right back we are back and do you think it's like performance enhancing when you play games to to be able to access you know

the music like that and play little songs I don't know it just sounds like we drove through a tunnel and just switched over to fm radio yeah i have that effect on here hold on you know what i mean i have all these effects on here so yeah but i always wonder like you know especially in a darkened club or whatever how people can just find the effects uh quickly and you know the right one when they need it do you have do you know where your your fwa fwa fwa button is because that's always fun like if you win a game you can give yourself a fwa fwa fwa i i don't have that sound effect yet i have to program it in but right now right now i'm in a transitionary state of my act i'm incorporating these sound

effects into the new hour which i've never done before so i'm just having fun with it you know we're gonna add some more sound effects for sure so i love sound effects i'm super That sounds like the beginning of a dirty movie. All right. So, from the 70s, let's play a game. It's summer now and forever, according to the weather. Let's play a game called barbie cuties i like that name barbie cuties barbie cuties barbie's a smash hit you guys so this game is a

tribute to some real life barbies i'll say a quote from a motion picture, and your job is to tell me if it was said by Barbara Stanwyck, Barbara Streisand, or Barbara Hershey. Oh, my God. I'm going to be guessing, but I'll say. And, of course, I don't sound anything like any of them, so I won't be attempting to do an impression of them. I'll just say it how I would say it. And then you get to guess. Amy gets to go first on the first one. But then if she gets it right, Jeff goes first on the next one. If she misses it, Jeff gets a chance with the two remaining options.

And if he misses, then Morgan gets what I call the gimme point because there's only three options. But it moves around the board. We'll see how things end up. It feels arbitrary, but it's really planned out and arbitrary. Amy? Amy's up

first because of the miracle of alphabetization. Anyway, by first letter. The miracle of alphabetization! Alphabetation Alphabet Alphabetization Alphabetization Yeah that's fun That's a real fun thing to have When somebody says a word wrong Or fucks up

Then to have a musical Auto-tuned version of it A reminder of what you did You should set up outside Where there's like a place where people trip, like a curb that people trip on a lot. You just fell on your face. Exactly. And the person will be like,

why did you do a song about how I'm about to trip? Why did you not? It's like, why did you heckle at the how i'm about to trip why did you not it's like why did you heckle at the last show at dynasty typewriter i could have been there for that could have called yeah all right uh avi are you ready i'm ready here we go who said was it stanwick strisander hershey said, suppose I have to swag you over the knuckles? I'm going to go with Babs, Barbra Streisand.

You think Barbra Streisand said, suppose I have to swag you over the knuckles? Well, not now because of the way you responded. Oh, there it is That sounds like something she might have said in the music man So you might be right That's what I was thinking musicals I've already given the incorrect signal Jeff

I'm gonna Stanwyck or Hershey Suppose I have to whack you over the knuckles I think that's Stanwyck You're going Stanwywick i'm grabbing the other sound effect that is correct hey it's barbara stanwick and these sound effects never sound great but today more than ever they really sound like shit they're really half-assed compared to the noise machine that is one of our guests. But Jeff is on the board.

Morgan J. rhymes with yay. You're going to go first on this next one. Let's do it. Okay. I'm ready. My body is ready. All right. Who said, I was just fixing some iced tea.

Would you like a glass? i'm gonna go with stanwick you think stanwick made some iced tea for somebody maybe yeah well guess what that is correct oh my god we got an answer right that is so exciting. That is also from both of these so far. I've been from the motion picture, Double Indemnity. Okay. And spoken by the great, not a shithead, Barbara Stanwyck. Amy, you're up first on this next one. How would you like to swallow one sandwich de knuckles?

What? I'm gonna go Barbara Stanwyck, Doug. You think she's just walking around offering knuckle situations to everybody? Why not? That's incorrect, Jeff. Knuckle situations! I can't...

Oh my god, I can't wait to use that listen I've got a knuckle proposition for you you want me to whack it or do you want it in a sandwich nothing for knuckle situations how do you want your knuckles prepared today sir I'd like to saute thoseé those knuckles, please. Okay.

That's going to be an extra 10 minutes. Over a bed of arugula? Thank you so much. You're welcome. I'm charged for the arugula. Okay, fantastic. What just happened? Nobody knows.

It's my turn to guess. Just guess. Yes, here we go. So I'm going to guess. Just guess. Yes, here we go. So I'm going to guess Streisand. That is correct. That is the right one. Ooh, okay. Yeah.

Very good, Jeff. Knuckle situation. Knuckle situation. Okay, now which one of those was the machine i mean ai today is really uh it's really crazy it's so fun that morgan can be a guest on a podcast he doesn't even have to be there he just wrote into his ai machine hey go ahead and be a guest i did i did put a prompt in lots of everything. Everything I'm saying right now is AI generated. This is not Morgan J.

And I, okay, I'm ready. That'd be such a great excuse for, for losing today. It's just like, that wasn't even me, man. It was just AI.

That was the real shot. AI just can't do it. A real person can do it. That's right. Okay. So Morgan, though, you get to go first on this one.

Okay. And it goes like this everything will be better in the morning it always is i i mean that is true uh i'm gonna go with hershey just a truism and so you recognize that only the great babs hershey well i was right that is is correct. Let's go. She said that in Black Swan. And for those wondering, Streisand said the knuckles thing in What's Up Doc, which is the movie I recommend every

opportunity. Okay, it's fun for the whole family as long as you explain a couple things to the little ones. Times have changed. Okay, so... Don't marry... Wait, never mind. Okay.

Wait, so who got that? So Morgan just got a point. Holy shit, you guys tied it up. Amy, we're going to have to ask you to sit out for just a second. We'll put you on hold. I'm kidding. Amy, you lost. It's a temporary loss. Say something more encouraging.

Amy, you'll get him next round. That's nice. That's much better. So Jeff gets to go first. He just gets a straight up, you know, first shot. If he misses it, then Morgan gets to try. If he misses it, Amy, you're back in and can win the whole thing. Okay.

If you just remember the correct answer, because the other two have been said already. Jeff, which one said in a motion picture, I am the movies? That one is Barbara Stanwyck. Oh, shoot. I said it wrong. I missed. Hang on.

It's I am the boobies. No, I'm just kidding. It's I am the movies. And. No, I'm just kidding. It's I am the movies. And who is your guess? Stanwyck. Stanwyck is incorrect. Wick.

So we go to Morgan. I'm going to go with Hershey. Amy can steal this. Okay. That's correct. Because you really build up the drama. But, you know know it's also fun to just move on oh my god i won that round yeah you did and what you won is behind curtain number two oh my goodness what you know i went i went on let's make a deal twice by the way i never won anything oh what you mean you were in the audience twice you actually stood up and made deals no i I went on Let's Make a Deal twice, by the way. I never won anything. Oh, what?

You mean you were in the audience twice? You actually stood up and made deals? No, I was in the audience. And the producer came up to me after one of the shows and was like, you had so much good energy. We would have picked you if you had a better costume. And I think I was in a really terrible dinosaur costume of some sort. I think I just had a mask on or something. Yeah. like a dinosaur costume of some sort like it was i think i just had a mask on or something so yeah yeah then you have to take the mask off to talk and play the games and then you're just a guy standing there regular clothes with a mask on the top of his head exactly so yeah that's

that's not let's make a deal material but i would you know please keep us updated if you ever try again because that would be so fun i i love like sometimes you'll just see comedians that you've, you know, worked with either on an old episode or a, uh, even, even current ones. They'll slip on there,

you know, like a guy I know will just be on. Cause he probably just told, didn't tell them that he was a standup or whatever. Yeah. Or he told them. I said, I said I was a second grade school teacher.

Cause I didn't want them to know I was a comedian. Cause I feel they'd be they would have like exactly they wouldn't they don't want somebody to be up there trying to be funny. So they wouldn't have chose me. You know, you did that exactly right. It was with that goddamn dinosaur costume mask that you fucked up. I'll go back. I'll go back. Okay, good. And we're going to come back after these messages and we I'll tell you what Morgan Jay won for his achievement.

We'll be right back. We are back, and Morgan, you won the opportunity to go first in our next game, which is often not even an advantage. Good luck. And then we'll switch the order around. So it's going to go Jeff, I mean, Jay, then Jeff, then Amy. And it's a similar game. It's a guessing game, but you don't get multiple choice.

It's very hard. Think of it like soccer. It's low scoring and there's a lot of fiddling about. That's my favorite. My favorite is when nobody scores and it ends in a tie that's exciting yeah they'll just they'll just leave it they'll go okay that's what happened nobody scored uh but we do need a winner today so i do have a tiebreaker ready to go if nobody gets on a board on the board in a game that we play whose tagline is it anyway i'll say a tagline from a motion picture from

their advertising or whatever and then uh as listed by imdb then you tell me what movie it is this is out of all movies but there is a theme to hopefully help you narrow it down and maybe get a couple of these but uh movie taglines are often terrible and not very good at describing the movie that they're supposed to be describing uh that's the fun of the game are you ready morgan let's do it let's do it what movie do you think without even having any idea what the theme might be at this point what movie do you think would have the tagline the story of the extraordinary people who changed our world uh i have no idea but i'm gonna go with showgirls

I have no idea, but I'm going to go with Showgirls. It seems like... That might have led to the failure of that movie being so mislabeled. People were really going in expecting a world-changing Vegas stripper movie, but that is incorrect. I'm not even going to do the sound effect. I'm not going to bring that indignity to this game because this is tough this is tough jeff what do you think if you come up with a movie that would that would apply to the story of the extraordinary people who changed our world i'm uh hidden Oh, that is a perfect.

That's a great guess. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if their actual tagline is similar, but that is not it. That was one of the best wrong answers I've ever heard. Yay! That's my brand! Wrong, but so right uh all right so we move on to amy third and last chance at the story of extraordinary people who changed our collective diaper oh is that a hint nope it's actually probably very unhelpful oh okay i'm gonna say they changed

our world they didn't say they caused us i shouldn't say more what do you got i'm gonna say spotlight now that is those people did do extraordinary work investigating the catholic church but uh no that's not the answer here this is a motion picture it starred uh paul newman and john cusack and i feel like people didn't go see it because they um you know thought that they were playing the title characters it was called fat man Man and Little Boy. Wait, what? Is this real? And it was about similar. It's about the same story as this

movie that's in theaters now that we can't promote. Yeah. From many years ago. These are going to be tough. We're back to you, Morgan, on round two. So you know the first movie

is Fat Man and Little Boy. Fat Man and Little Boy. The second movie, here's the tagline. They really called the movie Fat Man and Little Boy? Because those are what the two initial atomic bombs were nicknamed for whatever goddamn reason.

People who make atomic bombs sit around coming up with fun names Yeah, it's cute The Enola gay, right? That's what it was Something yeah, then all the gay maybe yeah, this isn't Jeopardy What is this isn in jeopardy? Okay. The red hot suspense story that's rocking and shocking the world. This is one of the worst taglines I've ever read.

The red hot suspense story that's rocking and shocking the world. Any guesses? Morgan, this one's ridiculous. There's no way you're going to get it. I'm just going to go with the hunt for Red October. I know that's wrong, but it's like there's a missile in it. There's a submarine. That's the second best guess that was wrong that I've ever heard.

Yeah. Alec Baldwin. I'm going to guess the Falcon and the Snowman. That's a terrific guess. Like you're thinking that's not that's something Doug Bensley do movies with an ampersand

in the title. Yeah. Two patriarchal figures in an ampersand, but no. Amy. Can I hear it again? Uh-huh. Won't help the red hot suspense story that's rocking and

shocking the world so this must have been like the movie must have been out for a bit and they're like this is a great way to remind people to come see the red hot suspense story that's rocking and shocking the world red hot i'm gonna go with the core that's wrong and but it's like this line was written by the kinds of people that you know the people who run studios that think ai could write movies uh they approve this tagline this is for a comedy directed by stanley kubrick that doesn't rock or shock or have any suspense that i remember called dr strange love or how i love the bomb there's nothing the movie's in black and white. It's called Red Hot. Yeah. They just put suspense story.

I mean, I guess it's suspenseful whether or not the bomb's going to drop. But then, of course, it does. And Slim Pickens rides it down screaming like a cowboy. And it's hilarious. So I don't know. I don't know about that one. Okay. But we have Fat Man and the Little Boy and Doctor Strangelove are high.

Stop worrying and love the bomb. They're bomb movies. Well, if you're going to give it away to the other players, Morgan, you're destined to lose. I mean, there's an ampersand in both titles. That's true. That's true.

Jeff thinks they're called and persans um all right um back to you morgan let's do it take back the planet oh uh independence day no jeff Oh, Independence Day. No, Jeff. I don't. Independence Day resurgence. Bombshell. That's for us, the ladies. I wish I had thought of that, though. That could have been one.

That doesn't quite fit the category. This is a motion picture from the year 2000, as Conan might say, called earth oh my god that's the one with is that the one with john travolta or aaron yeah john johnny t he has like all dressed up for like a crazy alien character as envisioned by a insane white man and uh there you have it uh morgan you're back again but i feel like you're feeling you're feeling a strong theme pull so let's see if you can figure this one out i said independence day battlefield earth i don't know where i was i

feel like john you were really you were really playing on all cylinders you were right there a new era of wonder begins. I'm going to go with Mars Attacks. Oh, I was feeling your confidence. Thought we might have somebody on the board. Damn.

That is not correct. And as the aliens in that film would say, I'm not That is not correct, and as the aliens in that film would say... It's perfect! Okay, Jeff. Also, just so you know, that impression doubles for the Minions movie. Yeah, just say banana. Banana. No wonder those movies are a hit.

Just saying a banana in that voice is hilarious. Banana. Banana. Banana. Jeff, the new era of wonder begins. Avatar. The Shape of Water? the new era of wonder begins avatar the shape of water no no the first one avatar one the shape of avatar one yes the the og yeah og avatar incorrect amy carl in the chocolate factory guess. Thank you so much.

That was the tagline for Wonder Woman 1984. Oh my gosh. Yes, that movie was insane. That was close. What's her name turns into? Like a cat woman. Like a tiger person. Yeah.

It's a cheetah. It's a cheetah. Okay, morgan no cheetahs in this game it's your turn okay let's do it uh imagine a place where nothing is impossible so like this game for one I'm gonna go with Peter Pan such a good guess I shouldn't even say that Jeff what dreams may come no Amy

sisterhood of the traveling pants. Those pants are so magical. This was a big old flop that starred George Clooney called Tomorrowland. Tomorrowland, yeah. Is it based on the Disney section of the park?

Oh, okay. Very loosely based because really it doesn't have anything to do with it. I've been in the ballpark though. I'm not going to lie to you. Everybody's been ballparking like crazy. I think somebody's going to get on the board and I think it might happen now with this one, Morgan. What movie

had the tagline prepare? There's a period after now with this one, Morgan. What movie had the tagline prepare, there's a period after each word, prepare, period, beware, period, behold, period. No exclamation points. Just very calm. Prepare, beware, behold.

I think it's the motto of the Girl Scouts. Oh, wow. I don't know. I'm going to go with this is wrong, but I'm going to I think it's the motto of the Girl Scouts. Oh, wow. I'm going to go with... This is wrong, but I'm going to go with The War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise. Oh, I like that. I like that very much. I know it's wrong.

It's wrong for sure. I think we can both agree that that's not the answer, but I like it. You'll know reasons why shortly. Jeff? Shit. agree that that's not the answer but i like it and you'll know you'll know reasons why shortly jeff uh shit i just forgot what uh i just forgot the first guess war of the world war of the worlds okay so that knowing that doesn't help i'm gonna say this is a independence day

this one is independence day oh okay i mean i don't feel i don't feel the behold part too much but i don't i also don't know who's speaking in this tagline but that's that's not it that's not it amy close encounters it's gonna be such a win if you okay that's not it yeah i forgot to mention the amy miller rule she just gets to guess until she does uh no morgan you did better than you thought you ever could have on that one because of the fact that you did pick a Tom Cruise movie. This was

Tom Cruise's swing at what Brendan Fraser proved could not be made better called The Mummy. Of course. Yeah, The Mummy. So that's the premise. All of these movies were had or about or are bombs

we still need a winner today so morgan gets to go first in the tie-breaking question. It only has two possible answers. So if you get it wrong, then that makes Jeff and Amy our co-winners of today. Okay. But if you get it right, you take down your first appearance on the show against two champions. Wow. This is a lot of pressure. One who's won this game, Doug Lo movies at least 80 times and the other has won three times

so rude i feel confident i don't have the exact stats in front of me those were guesses okay here we go um and this is not multiple choice this uh this is uh i'll give you two options yes and you just if you pick the right one you win if you don't amy and jeff will continue as co-champions uh into the future okay okay i mean they're always welcome back anytime but the champions get to come back immediately. All right. So the question is, which one of these, sticking with the theme, which one of these is the biggest bomb of all time? Like, according to the internet, this is the movie that lost the most amount of money. Like, it was so expensive to make.

I already have an idea for this movie because it's a movie that i like but let me hear the question all right so the two options are john carter oh that's exactly what i thought it was all right what's the next one or the lone ranger i'm gonna go john carter because i actually like that movie, and I've watched it multiple times. Well, you know, it's funny you should say that because Jeff actually liked The Lone Ranger, and he's seen that multiple times. Wow.

Yeah. Okay. But which one of you is more right at how more of a bomb the movie was? Not that Jeff guessed anything. And the answer is you did it morgan j it's it is john carter hey what do you mean we are you cheating over there you got other people with you no it was just me but i'm saying the royal we i always say the royal we and i forgot that you're wearing a crown today

yeah because you ate some margarine earlier yeah i've been assuming the machine won't let him talk in the singular by the way this is i'm a part of this too we are a collective we are bored we we are bored we are a collective neurotechnological anyway no i like john carter in fact i i once saw a person watching the movie while they were driving and it was like on their dashboard like in a holder and i thought this person is risking their life to watch this movie and i just thought it is i thought about like what if they flipped their car got into a major accident and then like a police officer had to show up to their wife's house and be like your husband you know they were watching john carter and they were in a terrible car i don't know it just felt weird to be watching a movie while driving do you know this

the uh source material for that film uh i believe it was supposed to be like a trilogy and and there's a i think the book was written like the like the the maybe i'm wrong about this but i think like the late 1800s well the book was some old ass shit yeah but it was uh the book was john carter on mars that's right bar soon yeah and they are soon for the movie they're just like you know what we'll probably make more money the box office with something called John Carter. It sounds like a basketball coach or something. Wait, no, because there is a movie called Coach Carter, also a good movie.

Yeah, so it's just got that kind of vibe to it. It turns out it's a dude shirtless on a weird planet. I can't believe that's the question you asked because I immediately guessed the movie. Yeah, that is wild. Jeff probably would have guessed John Carter just to save his face because Lone Ranger is such a favorite of his. Well, Lone Ranger

has cost me a lot of money. Does it feel like a bomb over here? Well, you know, hopefully there'll be a resurgence in people watching because cannibals that support uh what's his name uh the guy who plays the lone ranger uh oh my god army hammer's in that army hammer a lot of cannibals probably watch just to see by the way you guys know army

hammer's selling real estate in the bahamas that's what he doesn't know oh okay i knew he had to do something because he came out as a people were saying he's a straight up cannibal um okay um so you won morgan j so you get to do your promotional stuff first what would you like to promote uh i have a comedy special that is out now it's on youtube came out a couple months ago it's called morgan j live at the village and i have a 30 city fall tour starting in September.
