Doug hates candy rappers screaming baby sticky seeds with 50 as a lot more kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see. Because Doug. Hey, hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug, and I love movies. This is Doug loves movies recording on Wednesday afternoon, April 29th, 2026. See you on Tuesday for a live taping Rosemont, Illinois, O'Hare, Jason. Today's guests are two newbies and an old, old, old bee.

It's Nick Corey Rossi, Sam Levine, and Hayes MacArthur. Hello, gentlemen. Hello. What's up? You. Let's meet them individually, alphabetically, by first name. He is currently starring in the look of, Love available on VOD.

It's Hayes MacArthur. Hello, Hayes. What's up? Doug, I got to say, first of all, I love the billing. It wasn't negotiated, but it was alphabetical. The movie's called A Love like this. Why did I call it the look of love? It has the look of love on the poster.

A love like this. Yes. And what exactly are they implying? What is it about this particular love that you are in with Emmanuel Chinkery? Well, yeah, so the title goes well with the poster because you can see it's a love like this, and then you see the picture, right? But describing it abstractively verbally, it's harder to describe. But you like what the movie's about is a bunch of our two high school sweethearts who have been in love their whole life.

They're married to other people, and they get together in the beautiful Malibu, California, for one last tumultuous weekend. And we don't know what's going to happen. Well, I'll tell you what's going to happen. A love like this. Yeah, I recall the poster has arrows, like, pointing to the two of you. That's right. Love like this right here. See this love?

This is what this is about. Not a love like this. this right I think it you know now that you described the movie I think it means that it's uh you know it's a love that's has to go mostly unspoken

that's right you nailed it um you've never done uh Douglas movie strangely enough but you were a guest on on I was a guest on a podcast that you co-hosted called mustache tails

That's right. You were one of our first guests. I do a podcast with Jay Chandra Saker, and you came on. I think you were like our second or third guest, and it was a very fun-spirited conversation. Okay, good. I thought you're about to say what, you know, since then we were there. You were there, Doug. It's really been influenced. It's your appearance. So is that that's still an ongoing I guess you don't have return guests That's why I haven't heard back from you We haven't yet you know You gotta have new people every time on that kind of show Well we do it kind of intermittently and Jay and the guys are making Super Troopers three

Which is coming out this summer So he's you know We maybe hang out and draw drink and golf together, but we don't record our conversations as much. So we'll love to have you back. Did they figure out a way to get you into Super Troopers 3? So I was a Canadian Mountie in Super Troopers 2. Yeah.

The Mountie storyline did not make it into the next movie. Right. That's what I just, it just dawned on me that like they'd have to have some weird side trip to Canada or get you on a Zoom call or something. You know, like we got to talk to that. Mountie that we still have a rivalry with. That's right. Because you were kind of a bad guy, but it was really,

I remember it being really fun. And of course, Rob Lowe at his coochiest. It was. It was so much fun. And I saw the trailer for Super Troopers 3 came out on 420, great marketing. Of course.

And it looks so great. Like it's, they made it like, it's like a family movie almost. Like you see the guys, Farva is marrying Thorny's sister. Oh. All right.

Yeah. I see somebody in a wedding cake. Hayes, are you good at movie trivia? Like when you're not busy being handsome, do you nerd out on a movie show? I love We'll see.

Is that what we're doing today? We're doing movie trivia? It will come down to that shortly, yes. And I'm sorry if you were appraised. I wasn't, but I'm here to play. All right, all. He is the co-writer, director, and co-star of the Napal Boys. It's Nick Cori Rossi.

Hey, Nick. Hey, yeah, the co-writer, co-star, director, Napa Boys. what's up? That's how you say all that every time you walk into a room these days? Yeah, yeah. Napa boys, I guess I would say, if you just

mix sideways an American pie and then you just also made only Super Troopers 3. That's how it starts. That's how we would do it. Yeah, it's as if this movie existed in an ongoing universe but we haven't seen the other parts,

which is absolutely brilliant concept for a movie. We've talked about Beth Dover and Paul Rust have both been on recently, and so we talked a lot about it. And how do you feel, Nick, about being so involved creatively in a movie that I think people started calling it a cult movie, like, immediately, like a cult classic when it just came out there's got to be like a land speed record

for a movie getting cult status yeah I mean part of the calculus of it was you know to make a movie that you could immediately rewatch which I feel like movies are made

in the opposite way now it's kind of made to be disposable to just show up as an icon you click it you kind of forget it or whatever and uh our calculus was sort of how do you make a movie, the way that we used to watch on DVD, where once you watch it, you want to watch it again.

So it's sort of extremely rich with all sorts of lore that doesn't exist and backstory and secret Easter eggs and jokes that you don't catch the first time. So I think by sheer will, I think people have responded to immediately watch it again. And it's kind of been gaining traction. in that way, which is what you hope. But yeah, for it to happen so fast is amazing. Yeah, I've seen like you've been popping around different places,

you know, doing talks after the movie. And I'm sure it's a real, you know, just the choice to go see it. Like if you've seen the trailer, you're like, you know, you get what it is and then you want to be a part of it. So how are you at movie trivia? Oh, but you know, I know something about movies, lots of DVDs and whatnot, I'm down. I'm down with movie trivia, yeah.

All right, well, our third guest today is good at it. His name is Sam, the Mab Levine, a.k. other stuff. Hey, Sam. Hey, Doug. It's so happy to be back. It's so good to have you back. The last time you were on, you won, of course. And so how are you feeling about the competition today? And also, how do you feel about performing on your anniversary? Oh, thanks for remembering. I feel good. I have the power of my marriage behind me today. and my wife's great. She knows movie trivia better than I do. But yeah, that's how we met. She sits there.

It gives you the answer. 100% of the time. We do that when we do the live shows too. She sits in the front row and signs me. You guys learned ASL for us. We learned ASL just for this. But look, I love movie trivia as much as anyone, but admittedly, Doug, some of the games we play, they can be a little crazy.

And knowing movies. quite random. You never know what... Yeah. You never know. I never know what you're going to... What you're going to throw at us. So I'm prepared for nothing.

There's still, you know, it's a very limited number of people who are like, you know, tend to consistently do well at the games. You know what I mean? And so you're certainly one of those people. But we'll... Thank you. We'll see what happens in a little bit here. But first, before we play some games, I want to ask each of you.

And since Sam knew this question was coming, we'll go to you first. Sam. Sure. Please recommend one movie. I'm going to recommend the Weird Al Yankovic classic UHF. Whoa. I have a 10-year-old nephew and he's not seen the film. And I was talking with his parents about him seeing it. And they were like, as soon, he's on the cusp of just being old enough to appreciate it.

And there's some adult jokes in there. And so I rewatched it on my own just to, so that I could warn, you know, if there was going to be anything like that. And I forgot how much I absolutely positively adore that film. But what did you end up saying? I mean, what was objectionable in the films? Like Michael Richards pulling a long thing out of his nose? Yes.

Michael Richards pulling a long thing out of his nose. The guy who tosses animals out of the window to see if they can fly. Oh. What happens to those animals? They imply that they get dire. They don't fly. They don't make it. Oh, yeah.

Damn. Yeah. Because it's, but the humor is mostly, like, I don't think of weird al's doing the dirty humor ever. No, there's really not any dirty humor. Not like when I say adult, I don't mean like sexual. I just mean, you know, could be unclear or weird to a 10 year old. That's all. Yeah.

But, you know, I would think that's, you know, part of the fun of it. I think so. Like, I think 10 is probably a good age to. It is. I was probably exposed to that. Yeah. I think so. I mean, I, you know, I personally feel like, sure, some things might be traumatizing,

but, you know, just kids should just watch whatever, you know, like as long as it's not, I mean, hardcore violence or sex like, who cares? They're going to see it on the internet next week anyway. That's 100% accurate and I couldn't agree

with you more. Kids should watch whatever they want to watch, even if it is violent or sexual. That's how I grew up and I seem to be fine. With an older, like with an older sibling or a parent maybe, you know, that stuff is, you know, usually works out okay. Like my parents took me to lots of R-rated movies and they just sort of, they just sort of sit there and act like, you know, everything was cool during the weirder parts. But my mom took us, my mom took us to see Eddie Murphy's raw in the theater. I don't know what year that was. I have to look it up.

The red leather suit and the whole, like, it was, it was shocking. You know, I couldn't have been more than 10. She really wanted to see it. Oh, that's phenomenal. Yeah, I don't know why she wouldn't think. Because even in his, like, I guess Saturday Live, you don't swear, but his movies are all full of, you know, like... Oh, yeah, I know that.

Coming to America... Coming to America is treated like it's a family film, but it is rated R. It's straight of R&R. There's weird naked boobs and random moments throughout the movie. I don't know what Scard v. Moore. The material that Eddie was saying

of the fact that she turned to me in the theater and said, he's so sexy. Oh, sure. Doug, can we go back? You specified by saying there were naked boobs in the movie. Yes. As opposed to just boobs. So by that rationale, every movie is with women in it is full of boobs, just not naked boobs.

Yeah, you can see, you know, most movies have the boobs are there under a shirt or something. Right, right. So by that metric. These are naked ones. Almost every movie is full of boobs. Yeah. I think the nipple is the defining. line between naked boob and boom.

Right. Sure. All right. Nick, do you have something you could recommend? Yeah. Yeah, I'll do Taylor Hackford's Blood In, Blood In, Blood Out, East L.A. epic, about three plus hours.

Fantastic film, and I would say it's his career masterpiece, not to be confused with American Me, which came out that year. Edward James Olmos, three hours our east LA epic which is also great but I'm going to recommend blood in blood out it was sort of the bugs life and ants of its time as far as East LA is concerned oh yeah sounds like a real uh volcano Dante's Peak situation yes yes or an Armageddon deep-impact deal yes thin red line thin red line saving Private Ryan

Yeah. Who was what? I did. That's the first time I'm hearing that one. I think one of them, well, I guess they're both pretty successful in different ways. But who's it? Because as soon as you said blood in blood out, I felt, I immediately thought Edward James almost. But he's in, he's an American movie.

And who's in, who's like, who's the lead in blood in blood out? It's, uh, what's his name? Benjamin Brad, Benjamin Brad. Oh, okay. There you go. Right on. Benjamin, yeah, exactly. So they came out basically the same year.

They're both three-hour plus epics. I think both of them flopped in the movie theater. People weren't ready for the three-hour East L.A. epic, but they're often confused. And, but for this, for the purposes of this, I will recommend Blood and Blood Out. It's a fantastic film and also has a huge cult fall. one of the actors, his name's Damien Chapa. I know this because he made his own unlicensed sequel to the film called Vatos Locos, which is the name of their gang in it,

but he directed an unauthorized sequel to it. It's basically it is a huge cult film in the Los Angeles Latino community. But yeah. I'm wondering if it was it before, remember that movie Colors? Oh, yeah. I think it was after. Yeah. It was after.

I mean, there was a real time where like that was a serious genre, but... Have all of you not... Is I'm the only one that's seen blood in, blood out? No, I've seen it. And I want to say it's 93 or 94. So that would definitely be after colors. Yeah, 93. All right.

Thanks, Nick. Hayes, what do you got for us? Sam is talking about his kid made me think I have a 15-year-old son. So I go back and watch movies that I think everybody knows. I realize they've never even heard of them. So I did this with Hoosiers. And I just realized it's definitely my favorite movie. It holds up.

It's totally incredible, uplifting. And the interesting thing about it to me is when you look at it, like how something gets made. They took the same writer, director, and Jerry Goldsmith did the, you know, the famous score for Hoosiers. And they also did Rudy together too. So they like did almost like they had a formula,

they had a team, and they put it together. But I just thought that was like one of the most elevated sports films I've ever seen Gene Hackman and then Dennis Hopper. Dennis Hopper directed colors, by the way. Dennis Hopper coming into the gym. I'm from the Midwest. All those guys, I don't know about Jerry,

but David Anspo and Angel Pisa wrote it. They're Chicago guys. Yeah, they've been on this show. And I've also done, you know, I have a regular thing. I do the Benson movie interruption where we sit and watch a movie. And sometimes we have audience members bring in movies

and we picked one, but in the past, especially like this was at a comedy festival in Bloomington, Indiana, and where breaking away takes place. I was at a festival there, so we got both of those guys to, I went to the festival more than once. It was called Limestone Comedy Festival. And one time when I went, we all watched Hoosiers together, and then the next time when I went, we all watched Rudy together. Amazing. Yeah, it was super fun.

But both of those guys don't, I always feel sad bringing this up because it's kind of a bummer, but they have absolutely no love for Mr. Gene Hackman. Amazing performance in the movie, but they both just really, really despise the man. Rest in peace. But also, I was thinking, you want to get a young person interested in Hoosiers,

you should call it Hoosier's Mama. just makes me think the character is named Hoosier Hoosier's mama. It's a person. A cross dresser in the Midwest. Tunges of the Mojews in that one. Thanks for those recommendations, fellas. People, I'm sure, will, I can,

I'm pretty convinced people to enjoy any of those if they took the time to check them out. But now it's time to enjoy some ads, and then we'll be right back.

Yeah, do you know about this one, Sam? I don't. Maybe I do. Please remind you. It's fun. It's very tricky game because I'll name a movie. and then you have to tell me how many credited performers the exact number appear in the end titles

according to IMDB. Oh, God. Yeah, I don't sit and watch the end credits of these things and try to figure it out. I go just by what IMDB claims. So, I'll name a movie. Hayes gets a guest first,

how many people he thinks are in it. And if he misses, then Nick gets a shot. And if he misses, then Sam gets a crack at it. And the exact number, you have to give me the exact. You have to be exact. So at the end of the round, when we've all missed,

so when we've all missed, it's not who's the closest without going over or closest. Regardless. If you all missed, then I'll just tell you the answer and we move on to the next round. Terrific. This is going to be fun. Every time it is. Every time someone gets. How many people in the credits?

The crawl. Creditor performers. I like... Creditor performers, okay, so not just performers. Because they like to give animals... Performers. Like, where they'll say the name of the character, the animal in the movie and the name.

Like Bart the Bear. Yeah, exactly. Okay, is it include stunt? Is this just actors we're talking about? Is it stuntmen? We're talking about, like, if you click on cast, so generally some kind of... Okay, cast.

So, yeah. It's the cast. according to i and db and then for a lot of the names and almost every movie has them they'll be uncredited in parentheses under some of the names so they don't include those so it's just credited performers according

to because they love to add in like when somebody's you know like I was an extra in a couple of things and I'm like on their list now and then it says uncrediting it's like yes I was uncrediting because it was a fucking extra get it together all right the first movie

that Hayes has to guess how many people in it is called the hitcher but here's here's the trick this is the hitcher from 2007 with Sean Bean the last time we played this

game we did the hitcher from 1986 that starred Rutgerhauer Rutger Hauer yeah I was going to say with the three names who was the boy in it or the young man see Thomas Howell watch Thomas Howell

I like to call it. So the movie, where we played, the last episode where we played this, the hitcher from 86 had, I'll tell you, it had 14 credited performances, even though it's mostly about hitchhiker on the road and a guy stalking him. So, Hayes, with all that information, give me your best guess how many people are credited

in the cast of the hitchhiker. from 2007. Okay, so if there were 14 in the original, I'd imagine the remake, somebody said, let's really beef it up. So it's got to be at least double the amount of performers for the remake. It needs more people talking.

More people talking and more action, more set pieces. I'm going to say there's 32. I'm going to say that is wrong. Nick, how many? do you think I'll go lower I'll go 22

oh also wrong Sam what do you think my god please remind me uncredited counts does not count uncredited does not count okay well in that case

what so what do we got 32 and 22 were the two guys I will split the difference and say 26 No, I'm sorry Nobody got it, but

How exciting would it have been if somebody did Because you were all in the Definitely in the ballpark And the number was 20 Oh, wow 20 people I win In the Hitchin Next round

Starting again with Hayes There's a movie Called Mass That You know, it was kind of an indie And it went Not Mass. It just recently went to Netflix,

and they're acting like it's a brand new movie and it's cracked me up. But anyway, this movie, Mass, is essentially, it's the cheery story of four parents of getting together to discuss a school shooting in which one of the kids was a shooter and another family's kid was a victim. That's the premise of the movie.

They get together to sort it out. So... Based on guys, Got a carnage to play. Is it? Well, it's a similar premise. Yeah, but the part of Carnage is funny. This is, Mass is like one of the heaviest movies I've seen in a minute.

It came out three or four years ago, I think. But how many people do you think are in that case? God. So we've got the two couples getting together after a tragedy. We've got the shooter. How many people did he shoot? He's got to be at least not. kids.

I'm going to go with 21. Okay. That's not correct. But it is a number. You did say a number. Nick? How about like seven?

No. Sam? Nick's thinking more like I am. I do not know this film and the way you described it two couples after a shooting. I'm going to say it's the two couples talking and then maybe maybe one extra person

like maybe comes in like a cop or a school person so I'll say five not a terrible guess not not terrible logic either I'm pretty sure by my recollection they don't ever like actually show the shooting or even the children they don't think anybody involved but there's other people that kind of come

and go because they're gathering is at some sort of like community center or something so there's a lady that's kind of in charge of like when they can get the room and when they have to get out of the room and shit like that and so the number comes out to nine

oh closest again I was closest I've got my Catholic grandmother I'm going to tell her not to click on that one no Doug who is in this movie is there anyone we know in the film well part of the reason I saw it is because like two of the actresses are two of the best out there

Martha Plimpton and Ann Dowd. Oh. They're both very good. And then Reed, Bernie, and Jason Isaacs. Jason Isaacs is always terrific if he's playing someone who isn't British because he's not good at it. Not good at playing him ripped? What's with all this coffee?

I hate coffee. I'll say also there is a school shooting premise. that appears in the Napa boys handled absolutely correctly and with the special amount of respect. But I guess Mass and Napa boys have that in common. Yeah, I think so. Two of the best indies out there. Yes. Round three.

You're going to get one. And I have something set up at the end so that somebody wins for sure no matter what. Great. Hayes. Do you remember a movie called Locke L-L-O-C-E? Is that with Tom Hardy? It's Tom Hardy, alone in a car. How many people are credited?

Wow. I'm going to go with one. I mean, would that be amazing? Sam knows I'm not above pulling that stunt, but that is incorrect. There's more than one person credited at the end of Locke. Nick, are you familiar with this movie?

A little bit, yeah. It's a, you know, chamber. I don't know what they call it, chamber. I'm assuming there's people that he's talking to. Would it be weird? Is Tom Hardy driving and whistling? Ryan Reynolds did that movie, where he was locked in a box.

Right, but he's similar. Phone booth and it's a genre. I'll say, I'll say 11. Yeah, we've conquered a lot of the, you know, movies where it's known to only have two or three people in it. But even then there's always, for some reason, there's always a little more. So when you're guessing these things,

you've got to always add a little more. So what was your number? 11. Okay, that's incorrect, Sam. If we have to add a little more, I don't know, 12? 12 is the number. Oh, come on, John. In a movie about a guy alone in a car.

And some of the callers on the phone in the car are well-known actors. Olivia Coleman, Tom Holland, Andrew Scott. So I don't know. Now I'm thinking about maybe checking out this movie. I really thought that he'd just be talking to, like, one or two people. Olivia Coleman is performing and not film. That's so much firepower not to use. Yeah, well, you know, I feel like I got to check it out.

But Sam is on the board. I want to say I had no idea. That was a very generous clue. It's like price is right. Just out of dollars. A little bit more. Okay. All right.

So Hayes, we're back to you. And the movie is a film I think you're familiar with. It's called Barry. and it stars Ryan Reynolds as a man as a man who is buried alive. How many fucking people are in that one, A's?

I'm going to go with one again. No, he's talking on his cell phone. Right. I remember that. Sure. Yeah, so I'll see six. And he's got like a book of matches, maybe. So we could see him like it's not just a pitch dark the whole movie.

No, that's not correct. Sorry. Nick. Four. Also wrong. Sam, if you get this one right, I'm going to say you should open up a little shop and put up a sign. It says psychic. Yeah.

I mean, I've seen the film and I enjoyed the film, but I only saw it the one time. And I know he makes a lot of phone calls, but I cannot remember who, so I will say 15. Why doesn't his phone die if he's calling all these people from a box buried in the ground? I don't know. All right. 20 people. Oh, wow.

Okay. Yeah, he gets 19 people on the horn. That's a lot of people. Any Olivia Coleman type firepower on the other end of the line? You know, I didn't write. down any name so I feel like no I don't even think there's a yeah I don't even think there's a Scarlett Johansson breaking

up with him in there um I have a I have a theory that Ryan Reynolds started his own version of the Scientology and Rob him and Rob Mcalini are the only members and uh they keep trying to recruit

people like Hugh Jackman and I think they I think Sean Levy I think they recruited him and now I think Ryan Gosling is now their next recruit that they're trying to get. It's almost like girl dad ology

or some kind of new form of Scientology that Ryan Reynolds is doing. That's my new theory. I think it's a terrific theory because, you know, and sort of Tom Cruise is similar. Like some of these people, like they have enough money. They have enough fame.

So then they've got to go to some other level somehow. you know what I mean? Yeah, you don't need the baggage of Scientology, but you want the discipline and the strange, like, like, tight-fitting, like perfect world, but without the baggage of it. So I really think Rob McEleney and Ryan Reynolds started this, and it's some kind of wexomology or something.

Oh, my God. The views and opinions expressed on this episode of Doug Love's movies are not necessarily indicative of all the guests on this episode. Does anybody care, though, about those guys enough to be mad? that about them? No, I don't know. They're all right, I guess. I mean, I enjoy both of their, you know, what I see them do on screen for the most.

Yeah, I follow the work. Yeah. I mean, I'm impressed with the work. Yeah. I thought it was a fun arc to see Ryan Reynolds do the same thing over and over again until he did it in a superhero costume. And then it worked. Mm-hmm.

You know, I mean, I always enjoyed him to a certain extent. Like, especially what's the one where he goes back? Just Friends is, uh, and Wilder is really good. All right. I'm going to end this discussion here. So I got one more of these for you guys. If anybody gets it, then we'll have a tie with Sam. We'll have to play the tiebreaker.

But we start again with Hayes. And the movie is Silent Running from the 70s. This is, you know, Bruce Dern plays a guy who's out in space with some hanging out with some bots. I know cool running. Cool running. about the Jamaican bobsled team had three of a lot of this is silent running

Bruce Stern I'm going to go I'm not going to go with one again I've learned that lesson I think I'm going to go 12 and it's just running no ass on this one silent running because he's Bruce Dern by himself

running around okay he's running silent what how it's just okay well it's If it doesn't have an S on the end of it, I'm going to go with 10. Okay, incorrect. Nick. Five.

No. Sam. Oh, the laugh. I don't know. Six. No, I'm just laughing because I really want somebody to get it. And it's just such a random ass. Like, how would anybody know, really?

And you just have to guess. And those are all great guesses. But the answer is eight. Oh, we're all around. there's eight people yeah because uh you know the little bots have like people inside them and they were properly accredited uh and uh so therefore sam wins that game but uh don't fret fellas because all he wins is the opportunity or you know could be a disadvantage sometimes disadvantage of going first in our next game that will determine it all we will be right back we are back

The dinosaur story. What if Sam will laugh at that every time? I will laugh every time. All right. You get to go first in this next game, Sam. Your favorite game. I always love playing this game when you're going to be on. It's called The Little Search Engine That Could.

Yeah. I typed a word into the search engine today, Nick and Hayes, on the aforementioned IMDB, and then I wrote down the top 10 titles with that word in the title that are currently being searched according to the IMDB algorithm. So I'll tell you what that word is,

and then the three of you, starting with Sam, then going to Nick, then going to Hayes, you'll each get three guesses of movies you think would be on that list, on that top 10 list. If the movie you name is number one, you get 10 points. If it's number 10, you get one point. And then there's all those points in between. It's kind of family feud style, basically,

and without specifically ripping it off. But there you have it. Any questions? No. All right, cool. The word, and this is in honor, of Nick's movie, the word I typed was Napa. I'm kidding.

I wonder if there are any other movies that have the word Napa in the title. You might be the only one. But I went with boys. Now, this is not boy. The word boy appears in many film titles, but this is just movies with the word boys, plural. not like silent running, which was not plural. This is only movies with the word boys in the title.

I wrote down 10 of them. Sam gets the first guess. All right. Immediately three films come to mind. Any of these, I'm sure, could be number one, but I will say the one that popped into my brain first. The Lost Boys. Well, you know, it's popping into everybody's brains

because it just opened as a Broadway musical that actually got pretty good reviews and is supposedly quite this spectacle. And so it is number one. Oh, wow. On the list. Okay. I did not think it would be that high.

Yeah, no, it's really the time to be talking about and watching Lost Boys. So, Nick, you get the second guess, your first guess. What movie with Boys in the title Do you think people are feverishly You know searching for on IMDB today? Napa Boys

Well that It seems like unclear That you would be in a position To name your own movie And it is number two On the way Yeah So that is

Nine points for Dick Hayes this seems so unfair It's gone down so far But you're you're no by no means are you out of this because there's eight other titles that are worth points that have the word boys in them what's your first guess it's been bad boys bad boys this is this is an interesting one i have to ask you a follow-up question are you referring to bad boys from 1983 with sean pen or bad boys from 1995 with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

I'm referring to the Will Smith Martin Lawrence film. That is number three on the list. It is worth eight points. This is a barn burner. Wow. Holy cow. I mean, get out of the burning barn, you dumb cow. Back to you, Sam.

Well, I, weather. Thank you very much. Well, the three that popped into my head were lost boys, bad boys. And this one I almost said because it starts with the word boys. So I will say, boys don't cry. Well, this is, I have, this is unprecedented in this game. So far, you guys are four for four. The top four as Boys Don't Cry with Hillary Swank is number four on the way.

Wow. Yeah, so that's another seven for Sam. Again, this is not, with two more answers for Nick and Hayes, they are not out of this by any stretch. So Nick, what's your next thought on? Movies with Boys in the Title. Bad Boys 2? You know it.

Of course it's there. And it is number 10 on the list. And therefore are worth one more point. for Nick. Hayes, what do you got? Only because I was speaking of my Catholic grandmother earlier, I have to go with

the dangerous lives of ultra, wait, the dangerous lives of altar boys. There you go. You had to do that one for her. They tripped it. It's in there, right? It's not a dangerous life of an altar

boy it's plural correct right yeah alter yeah it's boys i think um but do you see how i'm not even like i'm not even sure about it because that i did not see that title in any of my research on this i wrote down all the way up to number uh 18 it didn't crack i got another one i got another one are we yeah we have to go we have to go to nick and sam i will you allow hayes to change his answer. No. That was Nick. That was Nick.

You said that. Okay. Because I thought, Nick, you might be like, oh, it's more opportunity to possibly take down Sam Levine, but I appreciate that you're playing your own game. And that's the way to do it. So, Hayes, I'm sorry the Secret Lives of Alter Boys did not gain you any points. now here's Sam like on Jeopardy when like

you know one person gets you know so far away that nobody else can catch up so final Jeopardy's do you just have to hear that dumb song what's your third and final answer Sam okay okay

um okay here's my thinking if bad boys is in the top three and bad boys two is number 10 you said? I did say that, yes. They've got to be another bad boys in there, right?

But the problem is, I know that there was one that came out a couple years ago called Bad Boys for Life, but that I know there was a more recent one that came out like a year or two ago. I can't quite remember what it was called. What a dilemma. Is it? I'll just say Bad Boys for Life because I don't want to get the title of. well you did get that title right and it was uh number seven on the list all right so that's that's

four more points so so sam does in fact have an insurmountable score oh well but uh so congratulations to you sam you get to do uh before we i'm going to finish this out though i want everybody to know the rest of the answers and i want to talk to nick and hayes some more but for right now sam can you tell me who you would like me to call a shithead at the end of the show's day? I think you know who I'd like you to call a shithead. It's the person who you called a shithead for many years of the show. And he's been in a lot of Scorsese films. And I think you know what I'm talking about.

Oh, James Woods. A lot of Scorsese films. Well, the one. Robert How many Scorsese movies Has Defoe been in? I don't know At least two,

maybe more At least a minimum of two Okay It's probably been in more Wes Anderson's I guess that's right I'm just I would never think of I don't know

All right Well anyway, Yeah, He was the He was the second shit head After Barbara Stanwick There you go And

for anybody that's not up with the joke William Defoe is considered to be a very, very nice guy. So calling him a shit, it's just a funny thing to say. Yes, we love Willemdiff. Ironic. All right. And Sam, what do you want to promote? You're on Cameo, anything else?

I'm on Cameo, and today is my fourth wedding anniversary. Yay. I would like to promote marriage and marrying a nice person who you get along with. And if it's not a nice person, you don't get along with them, don't marry them. I can't stress that enough.

Hey, save it for a cameo. Anybody you need advice about who to marry. That's right. All right. Thank you, Sam. My pleasure. I'll see you again soon. Nick, just for funzies.

give me your third movie with boys in the title well that it now this is what was confusing sam is that bad boys for life stupidly was the name of the third bad boys right even though it's got a four in there they knew that they wanted to do four i have no idea how that kind of stupidity is like so they named the third one bad boys for life and the fourth one was bad boys ride or die which should have been the name of the third one so i'm going to say right ride or die maybe ride or die wasn't a hot enough expression when they were making the third one but nonetheless it is on the list and and sam you know your instincts were right that if you could have come up with the title that it was ranked a little higher it's number five on the list

as a group you're all doing spectacularly because almost everyone has been knocked off did you think of another one haze well it's a technicality because it's spelled with a Z if bad boys is so well represented on the list I assume boys in the hood let me just slow you down let me slow your roll there isn't a Z in any of these

so don't worry about that so don't just say some other movies boys B-O-Y-S no messing around we said boys don't cry the Hillary Swank movie

we did say that one yes what was the crew boys in the boat number six on the list Oh my goodness. Is that the Angelina Jolie movie? No, it's, oh, maybe she directed it, you mean?

No, George, didn't George Clooney? It's Clooney directed. Clooney definitely directed it. Yeah, it's Joel Edgerton and Callum Turner. There you go. Oh, 2023. So that's, that is such a good poll. Like, between the three of you, you named all the top seven.

So that's super, super impressive. And then number six, seven, number eight is that cute, cute but dirty buddy comedy with the children playing with sex toys called Good Boys. Oh, okay. Which was, you know, that was written by those guys that went on to do both seasons of jury duty, which I love that show. Um, number nine, I do this one was never going to come up because this is like a young adult, uh, motion picture to all the boys I've loved before. Hmm. Yeah. That was, that was everyone's next guess.

Yeah. And then, of course, 10 was bad boys too. And then listen to all these boys that didn't even make the top 10. Nickel boys, wonder boys, riding in cars with boys, boys on the side. Wait, isn't there a movie literally just. called boys with like Lucas Has. Didn't make the top ten either. Familous, fabulous Baker

Boys. And then it goes on like there's so many more titles. Fabulous Baker Boys. Wow. Right. Yeah. Boys is in a million titles. I'm happy that Napa Boys is number two. Yeah. No, it's really getting the search

and I swear if Lost Boys didn't just open as a Broadway musical, Napa Boys would be number one. That's right. All right. I should have been seeing ads for it. Nick, Corey Rossi, what would you like to say?

What are you promoting? Obviously, Napa Boys. Yeah, Napa Boys, you can get it on Apple TV. It was in, I think it's in the top 20, uh, comedies right now.

And, uh, Napa Boys, Napa Boys. You, it's always been on your DVD show and, uh, they've always existed.

Who do you, your character, to me felt like kind of an amalgam of you know like Chevy Chase and Tim Matheson and like similar like the guy that's like

not the hero but he's also can be really shitty it's a great genre of kind of character obviously I think you know Vince Vaughn a little bit snuck in there but also what I think

was great about it is that I think it's undercut with a certain lameness about the main handsome white guy character, which I would attribute the lameness to Bradley Cooper's character in Hangover where he, in theory,

in the logic of the movie is the coolest guy in the world or something. Yeah, but he's so horrible. Yes, and he's horrible and he's also not like really that beloved, but from the audience like if you think about people ranking their hangover characters

Bradley Cooper's character would be there. So it was kind of taking the tenets of the ones like the Chevy Chase and Vince Vaughn that we all really love. And then I think sprinkling in a little bit of the lameness of the Bradley Cooper hangover guy in there. Well, well done. And I can't wait for there to not be a Napa Boys fight. Like you wouldn't even consider doing another one or would you?

Well, the next one would be Napa Girls and, you know, Aquafina is already signed on. We're hoping to get some other good names, but she's officially signed on for Napa Girls. That could be an exclusive. But the Napa boys could show up, like how Gru will show up in a Minions movie. Yes, precisely. Yes. Can you just get every other cast member from Oceans 8 to be the Napa Girls? Yeah.

I feel like it was a great group. Danielle Ocean can show up from Oceans. Hayes MacArthur, thank you so much for participating in this and for not getting mad at me for fucking up the title of your movie.

Of course, now we all know your movies called, Look at this love. Did you call it? Did you call it? Did you call it? Did you call it?

We don't want to stay the wrong time. That's right. That's right. Okay, fair enough. Yeah, say what it's really cold. I'll repeat it. It's got a love like this. A love like this.

Okay, cool. And it's, people can VOD that now? Yes, it's on Apple and Amazon and all those places that you can find movies. Right on. Well, anytime you have something to promote, please reach out. All three of you obviously have a anytime you want to come back on. But Sam, of course, gets to come back very soon as the returning champion.
