Please welcome Tony Thaxton, Jen Kirkman, and Paul F. Tompkins. Thank you. Who do you want on your left? Everyone's thinking about where they want to sit now Yeah, that's a good spot

I don't know, there's no seat that's hardest to win in But Paul would like you to sit in the middle Paul would like to see to sit in the middle. It's the funnest seat. Paul would like to see Jen sit in the middle. I think I might sit next to her. Whatever you want, Paul. Paul's going to sit next to me because it's been a while. It has been a while. Why don't you just have something strategic?

Oh, here, give me those. Well, because here's the thing. Like, I know you don't really know... I know you don't really know the names of actors so like who you're sitting next to it's kind of like in poker oh sorry to have a beer first of all start using your microphone enough off mic time okay um yeah it's just where you're sitting uh there's been a guest named bald brian who's been on a couple times. Yeah, yeah. And he always gets fucked because he's sitting next to someone who doesn't play the game right.

And so that's why Paul wanted to sit where he's sitting. Because I'm Bald Brian to him kind of thing? You're my Bald Brian. Oh, thanks. That sounds sweet somehow. You'll always be my Bald Brian, Tim. Thank you. You'll always... I don't have an example. That actually sweet somehow. You'll always be my bald Brian. Thank you. You'll always,

I don't have an example. That actually touched someone's heart. I know. Probably some mentally ill people here. Why do people get quiet when I say that? Because there are. Would you accuse others of being mentally ill? I meant in a nice way.

People are usually like, I don't think you're talking about me. I don't mean in a bad way. Nobody that's mentally ill even thinks they're mentally ill, probably, right? Yeah. May I share a quick story with you? Sure. When I was doing open mics in Philadelphia, when I first started stand-up,

there was a woman, an older woman named Joyce, who was one of the comics, one of the regular comics, and she had the craziest opener that I'd ever heard. She was a woman in her 60s an elderly african-american woman and she would come out on stage and say how many people out there think they look like me and there would there'd be very few takers there will be no takers there would be a very confused silence nobody thinks they look like her well i always imagine like when you're supposed to really take stock at that point like i guess i have to thinks they look like her. Well, I always imagine were you supposed to really take stock at that point?

I guess I have to admit, I look like Joyce. Or were you supposed to spot the people in the audience? Like, that guy should be raising his hand. He clearly looks like Joyce. Weird. That's a thinker. That's a thinker. I think about it to this day, Jen. Apparently. That's the whole story?

That's a shitty thing to say to someone it is what I'm sorry I didn't mean to I didn't mean to give it a big build up like I did yeah with your whole can I tell a story I don't know can you turns out not really

no it was good it was fun it had a lot to do with movies I don't know. Can you? Turns out, not really. No, it was good. It was fun. It had a lot to do with movies. I forgot how strict you are in the movie thing. I am very strict. Yeah. Where's Lisa Limpinelli? Because this feels like a mofo and roast up in here.

It's just amazing. You know, Paul, because you're in the business and you're on twitter the messages you get from people the messages i get where people are like oh finally a show an episode where you talked about movies like we get off movies maybe five ten percent of the episode at most and people are still like when are you going to talk about movies on your movie show the whole thing yeah they give me the Leonard Maltin game. How can we not talk about movies during the Leonard Maltin game? It's all about movies.

Do you write back, when are you going to lose your virginity, nerd? Oh! That's why I've been writing that a lot. Get out of your fucking mother's basement and do some shit with your life. Unless you're 13, then stay for a while. Right. Go to get an education. You look like Joyce, I would say.

Alex, get my tooth. Results speak for themselves. That's how you make a story work. Results speak for themselves. Wait, I have a story that's about Paul and now does have something to do with movies because Paul's been in a movie and so has the other person in the story. Because I just... Oh, wow.

I don't know if you noticed, I just hit my tooth on the microphone and it reminded me of my favorite night. Doug, will you indulge me in another story? This is the best story in the world. I'm going to regret it, but Jordan, get ready with that baseball.

He always brings a baseball with his name on it, and it's good to know that it's here, because he could just throw it at one of your heads. No, I think the story is a sweet... What is this, Jolly Old England? If the subject gets off of movies for too long, just chuck that thing. I think this is a sweet story.

It's very quick, actually. We were at a party together, and people... It was late in the party. People were drunk, and people were dancing. 3 a.m. People were dancing. People were dancing. And the song that came on was Wang Chung's Everybody Have Fun Tonight.

But wait, before you forget, for some reason, all of our friends had left the party and this like strangers were coming in at 3 a.m. dancing. Not important to the story. So, thank God you stayed out of his Joyce story, which was already over. Well, I was going to point out in the Joyce story that there were strangers in the audience that had come in. Strangers, yes. A lot of strangers had come into the comedy club. Yeah, yeah.

To watch the show. Audiences are full of strangers. Okay. So, Zach Galifianakis is at this party. Way before he was famous. He's in movies. Way before he was famous. This is before anyone gave a good goddamn about him.

Oh, no one gave a shit. He hadn't even done Out Cold yet at this point. Oh, no. This was like eight, nine years ago. And this was a long time ago. So he's standing on the periphery of the dance floor. Going right up behind people. As Wang Chung is playing.

He's standing there with his arms crossed holding a beer. And then when it got to the chorus, everybody Wang Chung tonight. Everybody have the chorus, everybody Wang Chung tonight. Everybody have fun tonight. Everybody Wang Chung tonight. On the Wang Chung part, he would say, everybody loves Raymond tonight. And stand behind someone and whisper it.

They cannot hear him. Everybody loves Raymond tonight. Only Jen and I can hear him. And at one point, he did it. And I laughed so hard, I turned around, and I perfectly turned and landed my face with my tooth hitting the neck of this beer bottle. Clink. Like he did it on purpose.

With precision, yes. Like, hey guys, watch this trick I'm about to do. I know it's not the greatest story, but it has some elements. Don't you sell out our story, Jen! If you're drunk at 3 a.m. and your friend hits their face and no one hears this weird guy with a beard going, everybody loves Raymond tonight.

I mean, it's like, you can't even laugh that much. I wish that for all of you in the audience. To have that exact same experience. And it'll never happen again no so tony oh hi is this the longest anyone's gone on the show without uh saying a single word no no no because i've had adam carolla on before um touche you're the drummer for a band that i enjoy called motion city soundtrack thank. You're very kind. Some MCS fans in the house today.

Apparently. Or they're a bunch of fucking liars. Oh, my God. They're all on this side, though. It's kind of a right side brain band, I guess. How's that relate to movies? No, no, no, no, no. Quick question before we get into movies uh because he's in a band you know he's

not in movies so is your band is your band on tour right now no we just uh finished recording our fifth record what's it gonna be called i don't know yet There's some ideas being thrown around. Some of them from lyrics? No. Well, actually, I say some ideas. By some, I mean one idea. So maybe it's going to be called that. We'll see. But I don't know when it's going to be out.

We don't know who is putting it out. We're currently label-less. So you're going to try to get a bidding war going? Maybe. We recorded it. We did it all ourselves Paid for it all ourselves And we'll see What about one of those

One of those Kickstarters We talked about it But you know So like hey We need a record label Make one Everybody throws in a dollar It costs about one dollar per song, so we probably could have gotten $12.

We could have made a record. You could just put it out yourselves, though, right? Yeah, we are definitely talking about doing that. We'll see. Have you read The Secret? So, Tony, how did you arrive here today? what did you do to get into the tournament of championships do you remember oh the personal stories part i i i luckily was on against steve agee who sucks at the leonard malton game and ellen page who had never played it and also

was not very good at it. But what did you, you got something in Zero or Less Names? Yeah, and I actually had never seen the movie. I guessed the Devil Wears Prada, which I had never seen,

but based off of the clues. As a full-blown man, you'd never seen that. People are doubting that he has never seen it. There was a guy in the audience that said,

yeah, right. Come on. Look, we've all seen the Devil Wears Prada. It's our generation's Jaws. It really is. And Jen Kirkman is here. Do you remember how you made it into this?

I know. I got the Flintstones. I guessed that one on the last episode I was on, and I think I won another round by default. I didn't Flintstones. I guessed that one on the last episode I was on. And I think I won another round by default. I didn't guess anything. But The Flintstones was the movie I guessed. Flintstones you got in zero names? Yeah, because even when you were reading the description, I kind of knew.

This is not a brag. It was just kind of obvious. Yeah, yeah. It was like the clues were set in bedrock. Not the sequel. And it's called The Flintstones. That's not true. Now people are going to think that. They're going to go, why are you so easy on her?

Talk about movies. And Paul F. Tompkins, you outright won the 12 Guests of Christmas. Is that how you did it? No, no, no. During the 12 Guests of Christmas you got something in zero names. I came in second.

I defeated Ricky Lindholm, and I came in second to Scott Ackerman. Yes. I was here for that. I was sitting right over there. And I said second place is good enough to get you into the tournament? I think because I did guess something in zero names. I think you did, too. Yeah.

But I forgot that that was one of the criteria. Yeah, that's how you do it. That's how you get in zero or zero names. I think you did too. Yeah. But I forgot that that was one of the criteria. Yeah, that's how you do it. That's how you get in zero or less names. I can't believe I'm here, frankly. This is great. I don't think any of us can. It's exciting. It's real dream come true shit. So since it is the tournament

championships, it's going to be a slightly longer version of the game where the first person to three points is going to win. So, yeah. I'm not fucking around. And so I'd like everyone to go select a name tag to play for. There's some amazing ones.

There's one... This process has gotten more terrifying than it ever has. It's really scary when they suddenly all come out. The last time I was here, three people did it. There's a guy with a flashing thing going around his sign. I don't know what that means.

There's a guy who just wrote the letter J on a piece of paper. Of course, Paul Tompkins, long time, well-known fan of the movie Jaws. People all know how I feel about this movie. Yeah. It's a matter of record. What? Yeah, look at who's in it. Instead of

Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss and How come I'm not in this? The other guy. God damn it. Do you want to turn it in for another this? The other guy. God damn it. I'll change it. Do you want to turn it in for another one? No, no, no. All right. It now stars...

It would be a completely different movie with Doug Benson, Edgar Wright, and Sam Levine. And Sam is two M's if you do it again in the future. If you spell it in the future, you could change it to two M's for Sam Levine. And then everything else is the same, like there's three of us,

and then Lorraine Gary, who was sleeping with the studio head who gave the picture a green light at the time. That's right, Seth Sheinberg. Can I ask a dumb question? Why'd you change it to Buzz? His name is Buzz. His name is Buzz.

Your name is Buzz, I'm sorry. I didn't know if it was a pot thing or something. It's a name tag, Jen. I don't know, okay. It's a good guess. Thank you. Oh, my lipstick. I love it.

Oh my God. These are really great name tags. I apologize to the people with the cookies, because those are awesome, too. But what is your name tag, Jen? It's also Jen, although I don't approve of spelling it with two Ns. Wait, why does on the back of this? Don't apologize. Don't say what's on the back.

It's your name. Don't say what's on the back. Why can't I? Don't say what's on the back. It's a surprise for Don't say what's on the back. Why can't I? Don't say what's on the back. It's a surprise for later. Wait, do you know about it? Yeah, sometimes they write down who they want me to call a shithead on the back, but they didn't do that on this one.

Oh, okay. Did they do it on yours, Tony? I did not look at the back. No, apparently not. So we'll find out who they want to call a shithead, and then we'll work it out. What's he doing? He's going to find... Paul's going to find out. He's to call a shithead and then we'll work it out. What's he doing? Paul's going to find out.

He's being proactive about it. Oh, okay. Atta baby, Paul. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Atta baby. What a weird thing to say to you. I think the expression is atta boy, not atta baby. Atta girl.

Atta baby is the greatest thing I've ever heard. Especially to say to him. Yeah. Because it's so casual. Yeah, nothing like Paul in the suit makes you think baby. And yet that guy did. But what is it? It's a picture of you singing, right? Well, I think it's Jem.

Is this Jem? I hear she's truly outrageous. But you wrote Jem. Is this Jem? I hear she's truly outrageous. But you wrote Jem. Truly. Yeah. Truly. Because that's your name, but it's modeled after Jem, who is truly outrageous. You're right.

Someone just said that's awesome. It is, right? Like very emphatically said that's awesome. And what do you got, Tony? I have Elena, and it has Gizmo here. And the only reason I picked it is because she was closest to me, because Paul took Jaws after I made a Jaws reference. So thanks. But I love it.

You are welcome. Gizmo is tied to a piece of paper with Elena as the name tag, but it also says, Hi, Doug, and then 1159. So that means we have to kill it. Because at midnight, that thing's going to become a pain in the ass. But let's get all three name tags together. I'll get a nice picture for the internet. Because people on the

internet want to know, well, what are these name tags you keep talking about? That's not a good... Do you want me to hold that one up a little bit? Do you want me to hold it up, Doug? This is good. This is good. This is good. Should we be in it or step out? I should also take it off. I'm filming filming it right now i should just take a picture that would be i like paul

that's a good pose that's perfect can can i uh interrupt for with just one quick story that's movie related sure uh last time i was here you asked me about movies that we've had songs in, and I told you that Motion City Soundtrack had a poster on the wall in Jennifer's body. Since then, this place is about to go crazy. I hope you were involved in Jonah Hex in some way. No, no, no, no, no. Two words. The squeak wool. Chipmunks.

Poster on the wall. My face technically in the squeak wool. Wow. Alvin and the Chipmunks, the squeak wool. Who? Yeah. The Chipmunks. This time it's a fatal disease.

Alvin and the Flipmunks. This time it's a virus from the 70s. Because he was saying the chip mumps. I haven't heard of that since Brady Bunch when they had the mumps and they couldn't make out or whatever. Or was that measles? Anyway. You mean the brothers and sisters couldn't make out with one another?

That was that one episode where there was like no more making out. No, Millicent. Because we all have the measles mumps. Millicent and Bobby and then Bobby got the mumps. Or was it AIDS? They had a...

No, he had the mumps or something. Had a baby, Jen. We're talking about TV shows. It's not movies. They did make a Brady Bunch movie or two. That's right, Virgin.

In fairness to Jen, Mike Brady was the architect of AIDS. Oh, fuck! I forgot he had AIDS. I didn't mean to mention AIDS. In every sense. I'm sorry. In every sense. Rest in peace, buddy. That was fun, though. He had a baby. It was fun that he's an architect and he had AIDS, so you gotta

put that together. They retroactively gave the character AIDS later on. Oh, God. When they wrote about it online. Yeah, IMDB. Check it out. Alright, so apologies for all those horrible things that we just said, and let's

play the Leonard Maltin game. Yes! Let's do it. Let's. Oh, I should quickly say what you're playing for. I don't even care. Tony Thaxton is making shirts. Is this from the band or from you specifically? From me.

Hold on a second. These guys have something they need to say. Conversation going on over there. I'm a huge nerd. I'm a huge nerd. They're like, we didn't get picked. Should we leave? No, I'm a big nerd. They're like, we didn't get picked. Should we leave? No, I'm a big nerd.

And on the side, I have been starting a toy company, making limited edition toys. And it's called Analog Playset. And that's why I made some t-shirts for that. And there's a shirt representing that. You're very proactive. I like that about you. I try.

And then you brought a copy of My Dinosaur Life, the album that I enjoy when I'm on the treadmill and whatnot. And Paul F. Tompkins brought You Should Have Told Me. It's a CD, DVD. It's just a DVD. What kind of piece of shit doesn't have a CD in it? No, it's a DVD. Just a DVD is in the right description.

It's a DVD. No, it says it right there. It's like, just a DVD. Hey, don't get excited. It's only a DVD, so don't get excited. That's right. Now, what are these, Jen? They're just CDs?

They get both. Oh, they're just CDs. They're just stupid CDs that are funny. One called Self Help, and another one called Hail to the Freaks. Not even out yet. Those are by Jen Kirkman. You get My CD, which happens every week. And then a copy

of Sarah Silverman and Who's the Caboose directed by Sam... That's a great movie. You really like it? I saw it in the theaters back in Boston in the 90s. And I was like, I want to be in this comedy world. And then I was, and I was like... It was directed by Sam Seder, who I was, and I was like, oh.

It was directed by Sam Seder, who's on MSNBC a lot, yelling. And he says, Republican Party. That's why he pronounces it weird. To be annoying. To throw the word rape in there at the beginning.

The Republicans. Oh, maybe so. Maybe so. Because he says Joe Lieberman, too, which always gives me a giggle. That's like, that's so old-fashioned. Oh, those guys!

It's my first time seeing one in person. Yeah, somebody's going to win a Woot Monkey. How many did they send you? They sent me so many. They sent me so many that I do this in every show now. I just fling one out of the audience and Jen screams like she's in some sort of jeopardy

did you think that came to life? dude I'll be honest no I couldn't I couldn't get a part when I felt for the person that it was coming at are you okay person that it was coming at?

no I was a little for one second everyone sits the whole show like this just in case they shoot a monkey at them. But yeah, they sent me an awful lot of them and they said there's more where that came from. And you cannot buy Woot Monkeys

unless you can either win them through me shooting them in the audience or know somebody at the Woot Company or they're on eBay. Like if you go on eBay there's's always several Woot monkeys that are for sale for $16 or something.

What is this business model? Woot is a site where every day they have some sort of new deal that you can get to buy some products. They do not advertise on the show, so I don't know what I'm talking about so much. But they also have these monkeys to help promote.

They've got shirts. But if they're only available through this podcast and eBay, whoever gets them at your podcast is putting them on eBay. That's a theory, yeah. Did I just blow your mind? Are you sure your band's

not called Sherlock Holmes? I'm quite sure. The band. Would that be a good new way to spell it? When you said, are you sure? Sherlock should be S-U-R-E. Thank you, Doug, for appreciating me. Because he knows.

That movie was on cable the other day in my hotel room, and I still can't get behind it. I feel like last time I was here, we talked about it, and I did the same swooning. I can't put outfits on RDJ. It's un-fucking-believable. I felt bad for Guy Ritchie because I felt like he wanted to make

a really smart, fun movie and I was like, this is as smart as I get. I'm trying my hardest. It's a great movie. I can't show this guy thinking. I gotta have him break somebody's leg in half. It's a great movie. I tried't show this guy thinking. I've got to have him break somebody's leg in half. It's a great movie.

I tried to watch it on the 14-hour flight to Australia and found it boring enough that I would rather just stare at the blank seat in front of me instead. That was the only movie they offered? There was a few, but at that point, that was my choice. I watched about 20 minutes. I love the homoerotic stuff between him and Jude Law and his hair when it was longer. I fucking love that movie.

They're making a sequel, right? They better be. I think they are. All right, let's play a Leonard Mott game. This is going to be great. Let's start with Jen. Pick up your microphone. What?

It's getting so intense. Yeah. Seriously, be ready. I'm talking to you. For a category, would you enjoy a young person? I was going to say a young man, but I don't know how young this person is.

Because he didn't include it in his email. But a young man named Matt Faraday suggested prime movies. Now these are movies where the title has a prime number. I don't even know what a prime number is. I'm not kidding you. You have to know prime numbers.

Give this to the nerdist. What's a prime number? Three or something? It's numbers. Divisible by itself? It's numbers that aren't divisible by anything else. No, one and itself. One and itself.

Okay. Like seven. One, two, three, seven, 17, 47. All right, I'm as dumb as I thought. All right. So this good time guy sent this suggestion. I'm no mouth whiz. Great movie.

All right. So obviously everyone hates that category. Well, no, I didn't understand it. So fuck you, Matt Faraday, for suggesting such a shit-ass category. Yeah, go tape up your glasses. Someone on Twitter named at Censored Wang

suggested a category called con artists. Okay. That's movies featuring Scott or Jimmy Conn. I don't even know who that is.

James Conn. Oh, James Conn. I know who James is James Caan Oh James Caan I know who James is Not Scott I'd tell you who Scott Caan is But then I'd be bringing up The several movies That might be in play here Okay

But he's his son Oh okay So am I picking Which category I want? Yeah yeah You get a third choice Okay yeah Your third choice is

This was suggested by is there another podcast taping in the corner no no no I think there's like a deaf person and other people are explaining everything is happening in loud sign language somebody named at Willie underscore go uh-huh underscore goat suggested cat slash dog. And that's movies with either cat or dog or both in the title. I don't know. Alright, so I get to pick?

Do you want to go cat dog, con artist, or prime number movies? Do you guys have a preference? It's up to you. Play like you want to win. I want to help you with the Scott Con thing and tell you that he's on Entourage and tell you he's one of the douchey guys, but that narrows it down to like 50 guys.

That's a bad category for me. I'm going to go Cat-Dog even though something tells me to go Prime, but a lot of times I don't listen to my instincts. So let's go Cat-Dog. You and your instincts need to get along and work it out. Okay, would you like a movie that has Cat or Dog in the title or both from 1982,

2002, or 2004? Deciding quicker would be... 2002. Okay. Three and a half stars from Leonard Maltin. He calls this movie exuberant. He calls it impassioned. And he says that

it has a terrific classic rock soundtrack. Really? Are you joking? He said that? No, I'm totally serious. Okay. Are you serious? Why would he be making that up? I don't know, because he's saying it like a funny, with a funny lilt.

That's how he sounds. I know. Okay, all right. I'm like ready to guess right now, but I won't. Does it have Catterdog in the title, or there's just a Catterdog in the movie? Catterdog in the title. Okay. And there's just one name listed.

There's just one name listed? Are you shitting me? No, I'm not here to shit you. So it's like a documentary about an actual cat or something? You know, when you talk it through like that, you help the other players. How many names do you think

you can get it in? There's one person in this movie? There's one person in this movie? You can get zero in? There's one person in this movie. You can get one name. There's one person in this movie. You can get zero names. There's one person listed, yeah. Just say one name, zero names, or negative one names. Those are your three options. Well, I guess one name.

She says one name. What do you think, Tony? Name that movie. I didn't even have to think about that. The one name might give it away. Touché. Like, if the one name was... The one name was Beethoven. No, if the one name was...

There's one person... If the one name was Morgan Freeman, what would you think that might be? March of the Penguins. Yeah, then you would have won, but that's not what we're talking about. I know, I know. Wait, wait, I wasn't guessing. I wasn't guessing. But that's what I was thinking.

A documentary about a cat or a dog from 2002. What was going on in the world then? Are you making up the documentary part? It's not necessarily a documentary about a cat or a dog. It's a movie that has the word cat or dog in the title. And the only name listed that you get the one name is Sean Penn. Oh, I get the name.

Yeah, and it's Sean Penn. Does that do anything for you? No. Then Tony's gonna win. Oh, 2002. Think back. Everything that came out that year. How many of those movies had just Sean Penn in them?

I don't know I give up all right she gives up does anybody know Dogtown and Z-Boys that's right Dogtown and Z-Boys he was the only one in that movie that was fun sucked for me that's all right there's still plenty of chances to win. Point goes to Tony. We start down here with Paul Tompkins. Would you like Bros Not Hoes? This was suggested by someone on Twitter named Tank. T-A-N-Q-U-E.

And Bros Not Hoes is movies that are directed by brother teams. Not hoe teams. Not hoe teams. That's for another day. Teams of hoes that directed movies. I hope our children live to see that wonderful future.

Yes. Your next category option is The Films of Michael Rooker. Who was an amazing guest on the show. Michael Rooker. Who was an amazing guest on the show. That was something else. And has been in a lot of movies. And then your third choice is sports.

And this may or may not be movies that have something to do with sports. Let me ask these guys. Guys, what do you think? Rooker? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pros not hoes. That had good timing.

Would you like a movie directed by bros from 1987, 2001, or 2008? Oh. It's not your choice, Jane. I know, but I know what he should do. 87, 2001, 2008. Yeah. I'm going to go with 87.

People get so excited about the choices. Well, because the year 1987 is sitting over there, so that's why you heard it. Conceptual. He's sitting in a puddle of 1987. Three and a half stars I disagree this is a four star movie Yeah

He says that it's about An odd couple And he says that It has spry Cinematography Oh Three and a half stars 1987

What was the category? Bros Not Hoes It's directed by brothers And there are One, two, three Nine names How many names do you think you get it in? I can name that in

Five names Jen You're starting it off Alright, I guess I'll name it in four Okay, good, good. I might get cocky. Uh-oh. I may regret this.

I'm going to say negative one. That's crazy, crazy cocky. There's no reason to get that cocky in the championships because you're not going to get a place in the next championships. It's true. It came to mind. You still went negative one. That's interesting. It came to mind. You still went negative one. That's interesting.

The audience thinks you should go negative two. I hear what everyone is saying! I'll name that movie in negative two names. Oh, shit! So, Jen. Name that movie. Yeah, she says name it. So, what's the movie, Paul? I'm going to say that movie Yeah She says name it So what's the movie Paul?

I'm gonna say that movie Is Raising Arizona That's correct That was my guess And I'm gonna say Those names are Nicholas Cage And Holly Hunter

That is correct Damn you Tompkins Raising Arizona Was on the last time I was on Was it? Yeah I forget Not that it matters I lose track Well I've lost Raising Arizona was on the last time I was on. Was it? Yeah.

I forget. Not that it matters. I lose track. Well, I've lost. Have a baby, Paul. We start with Tony. I think this time he said have a baby. Have a baby.

I want your baby, Paul. Start procreating. All right. We need your baby, Paul. Start procreating! All right. We need your movie knowledge brain. Tony gets to pick the category this time. Would you like at Alan McKee suggested Dudley, Demi, or Julianne? Those are mores.

More movies. At Marshman330 suggested Bad Air Day. That's movies with the word air in the title. That guy's not a real Marshman, is he? I don't know. I hope there's not a Marshman on Twitter. I didn't notice if he was verified or not.

And on Friday, a motion picture named Bridesmaids opens up, and they, you know, you say you can't make a movie with all girls that's going to be successful. So in honor of that, the category is All Dudes. It's movies that star all dudes. There's no ladies in these movies. Which one would you like, Tony Thaxton?

I'll try the Moors. All right, Dudley, Demi, or Julianne. Would you like a Dudley, Demi, or Julianne from 78, 96, or 97? I'll go 97. Okay. Three and a half stars from Leonard. Again, I'd say I'd go the full four. He calls this movie intense, and he calls stars from Leonard. Again, I'd say I'd go the full four. He calls this movie intense

and he calls it gripping and funny as well. Gripping and funny as well. And intense. So he's kind of repeating himself a little bit there. But he gave it three and a half stars and there are 15 names

from 1997. I'm going to get cocky again. Oh, man. Zero. He's getting cocky. Zero names. Zero names. This is Tony T.

What do you say? P-F-T? 97, yes. Yeah. And 15 names. Uh-huh. And can you give me the clues again? It's intense.

Intense. Funny. Also funny. Intense. Funny. Also funny. Gripping and funny. Intense, funny, gripping, and funny. Yeah, he's a terrible writer. And then later on, his reviews are ridiculous. Later on, did I mention that it's also funny?

Yeah. No, it's gripping but funny as well. 97. He says zero names. 97. Dudley, Demi, or Julianne. I'm going to say I can name that in. You said zero names?

Yeah, I said zero. I'm going to say negative one name. Oh, my God. You guys came to play. I'm going to say negative two names. Jen says negative two names. I guys came to play. I'm going to say negative two names. I'm probably so wrong. This is exciting.

People are allowed to call me whenever they want. I don't care for this. All the nicknames that are being tossed around here. What do you say, Tony? Can you go deeper than two names? I'm going to try negative three. Oh, my God. This is exciting. I know it.

I think all three of you know what it is. Now, the question is, can Paul name four names in the right order? The real question is, can Tony do that with three? Name that movie. Oh, shiza. Put that one. Alright, what do you got? What's the movie?

I might be wrong. I'm going to say Big Lebowski. That's wrong. May I name the movie? So the three names doesn't even matter. Wait, I thought I could. No. Nobody can. This is for men, honey. Yeah.

Let baby tell you the answer. Oh, no. Is it Boogie Nights? It's Boogie Nights. Oh, I would have guessed Silence of the Lambs. And just for fun, what would the three names be? I guess Mark Wahlberg Maggie Mac

John C. Reilly No Who's number two? Julianne Moore No Oh I'm trying to remember Big Burt Reynolds

Burt Reynolds Wait but Julianne Moore Is in it right? Yeah Mark Wahlberg Burt Reynolds Julianne Moore John C. Reilly

Okay It's the top four So who got that point? Cheetle's number five Cheetle Paul got five. Cheetle! Paul got the point. Because he said name it, right? Yes, I did. That's exactly what

happened, Doug. I got cocky. I lose track. So Paul has two points. I want to win so bad. And Tony has one. I have nothing. I knew I was bad at it, though. This could take a big, fast comeback. This could be like Red Sox 2004. Oh, I'm sorry.

If anyone here can come back against the Yankees and win four games in a row and make history, talk to me after the show. What if a dude in a baseball uniform comes up to you after the show? I'll fucking rip his face off. I'll fight him. I'll fight him.

All right. Sorry. I punched Scott Shapiro in the face in fifth grade. I'll fight him. I'll fight him. All right. Sorry. I punched Scott Shapiro in the face in fifth grade. I'm not afraid to punch him in. Wow, how could you do that to a future lawyer? Okay.

We have a category. You get to pick the category this time, Jen. Okay. We got at Josh Grunberg suggested Sarsgaard Skarsgård. Which is

the films of Stellan Sarsgaard and Peter Skarsgård. No. Thank you. I was just in Missoula so and David Lynch

is from Missoula so David Lynch movies. And on the day this episode plops, Harvey Keitel will be celebrating a birthday. So Harvey Keitel movies. Oy. Yeah. Would you like Sarsgaard, Skarsgård?

David Lynch or Harvey Keitel? I don't even know. I'm trying to think of what will be harder for these guys because I'm not going to get any of it. Like now I'm trying to play strategically. Thanks. You get what I'm saying even know. I'm trying to think of what will be harder for these guys because I'm not going to get any of it. Like, now I'm trying to play strategically. Thanks. You get what I'm saying? Yeah, well, then you should just bring the bidding down

and then say name that movie to someone. Yeah, I know. It's how you do it. All right, SARS guard. No, no, no, I want David Lynch. People are excited. David Lynch from 1980 1990 or 1997 1990

whoa everyone's impressed by that choice people are really intrigued in an erotic way probably a stupid choice Leonard gives it two stars he misses the boat on this one I think it's much better than that he says that it's he calls it a melodrama.

David Lynch. And he says it features formidable performances all around. And he says that one of the characters in this movie got a movie of their own. I don't know. I know nothing about this. Called Perdita Durango. But there the role was played by somebody else. That is the worst clue I've ever given.

Shit. I have no idea either. I'm looking right at it. There are 19 names. Oh, boy. I, um... How many names do you think you can get in? Two stars? It's a David Lynch movie from 1990. That narrows it down quite a bit if you know years

in Lynch movies. I don't even know any. I mean, I know one, but I don't even know if it's him. Who are the 19 names? How many names do you want to start off the bidding? Just take a big chunk out of it, but not too much. Ten. Good call.

Tony? Nine. Paul? 1990? That's when this movie took place? That's the year, yes. I thought that was how many names you were... I want to keep it going.

1990, Len gives it two. Yeah, it's... But does note formidable performances all around. Yeah. I mean, is there... I'm going to say I can name that movie in zero names. Every round of this game is so exciting.

Can I ask him to name the movie please? Yeah you can. Yeah please name it. Alright. What do you think it is? Oh what if I know it though? I know right?

That's what's hard about games. It's fun to play what if. I think that I am right about this. I hope you are. I got a strong feeling. Because you're bringing us in right on time. Is that movie Wild at Heart? Yes, it is.

I would never have guessed that. And now I'm like, oh yeah. Nicely done. You're a winner. That's right, I am. You did it. He's advancing to the finals of the tournament and championships. I accept it this time.

Oh, this isn't the finals? No, no, no. It goes much bigger than this. Was there a Twin Peaks movie and was David Lynch to do with Twin Peaks? Yeah. That was my guess to me. Oh, okay. All right.

That would have been a fun guess. Fire Walk With Me, Jesus Christ! Do you guys have anything? Our national movie. We have to get religious. Let's go down the row here. Do you have anything to plug? You got a new album that you might sell yourself. Yeah, I don't know when that's coming out.

Any tour dates coming up? Who made this one? We will be announcing a tour soon that's going to be something different than we've ever done. Keep out for that. I can't talk about it yet. All right. And then also, like I said, I have the limited edition toy company that I'm doing, Analog Playset. I'm also, through that, quickly, I'm also selling a T-shirt that a friend of mine from Japan designed and all the proceeds from that

are going to Japan Relief. So if anyone's interested in that. Where do they go for that? Analogplayset.com. Analogplayset.com. Yes. And I'm on Twitter. You're expelling it correctly. At Tony Paxton. This name tag though, man. This is really. It's really impressive. Yeah. Why is it so heavy?

Does it light up or something? There's an actual shark inside. All right. Well, congratulations, Buzz. Your name is Buzz? Yeah. All right, Buzz. Congratulations.

Do you want Paul to keep this? Because there's a garbage can outside that he'll throw it into. It's pretty cool. Paul is a well-known fan of the movie Jaws. Would you like it back? Yeah, you can have it back or he can keep it. Or I can give it back to you. You can put my fucking name on it and then bring it back.

Bring it back for the next tournament. Fix it. Take Sam Levine out of there. No, no, no. I will sign it for Buzz and give it back. Take Edgar right off. All right. Fair enough.

He has a stash. Jen, what do you got coming up? Well, I have a new album called Hail to the Freaks, which will be available on May 17th at a special thing, records.com. And Buzz just won a copy? Yeah, and I will be on Conan the Show on Thursday night. Yes.
