Doug hates candy wrappers, sweet and baby sticky seeds With 50 azotop or kernels in his teeth There's still not more that he won't see But Doug loves movies Hey everybody. My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies

coming to you from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles on It's Getting Increasingly Empty in here every week. I don't know what the problem is. Is it because of daylight savings time and people don't like to stand in line in the dark? Or it's cold?

Are you fucking kidding me? Yeah, well, it's not 71 degrees, whoever said that, but 60 is close enough. It's close enough to occupy Franklin Avenue. So, yeah, I don't know why, but if you're listening, I think the thing about L.A. is there becomes this growing concern about, oh, I don't want to get there and not get in.

That's like a big concern on people's minds in Los Angeles, is waiting in a line to not get into something. And so it's finally reached critical mass, and there's plenty of empty seats. There's so many empty seats that if this happens in the next couple of weeks, if it happens a couple more times, I will stop doing it here. Yeah, that's right. So tell your fucking friends to get their fucking asses down to Franklin Avenue in Los Angeles. There's so many people out there listening to this right now

that would be dying to get to be here, especially considering the caliber of guests that I surprise you with. You guys don't know who is here or who's not here.

You don't know that tonight I have three buddies from high school that nobody's ever heard of. But yeah, it's weird. I don't know what it is. It might be seasonal.

It might pick up again. We'll see. This makes me sad. You guys are still going to be a great crowd. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate that you're here. This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you from

the UCB Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday, November 15th, 2011. There were a lot of fun name tags in Phoenix on Sunday night at a fancy club that I played there called Stand Up Live. It was first Graham Elwood took on a gentleman named Brian, whose name tag was a giant poster of Brian Dennehy. Brian Dennehy's face. This is a big Brian Dennehy face. I was like, ah! And Brian picked the category Whoopi Goldberg because she celebrated her birthday that day. And with a mere three names, he could not come up with the correct answer, which was the player.

not come up with the correct answer, which was the player. And then Graham chose Jason because Jason brought a picture of himself with Graham that was taken a few years ago when we performed at the University of Arkansas. And if I recall correctly, which I usually don't, Graham failed to

name the Rum Diary in the deceptively simple In Theaters Now category. The next road show where audience members will get a chance to play against Graham will be this Sunday, November 20th, at the San Jose Improv, and then we'll also be at Tipsy Crow in San Diego on Wednesday, November 23rd, Thanksgiving Eve, if you will. I said on a recent show that if Puss in Boots remained in the top two for this week's show,

I would see it and then give it its proper props. But it didn't, so bullet dodged. Okay, so the number two movie in the country right now is Jack and Jill, which I will be seeing on an airplane in five months. And the number one movie is Immortals, which I will be seeing if I ever feel like jerking

off to a shirtless man getting his head chopped off. Off-off. Which is what I assume happens in the movie, and I assume the only reason to watch it is dudes by themselves in theaters jerking off. which is what I assume happens in the movie, and I assume the only reason to watch it. Just dudes by themselves in theaters jerking off. If either of these movies looks good or appealing to you,

you should probably go. That's my advice. This has been... This has not been... This has not been watch this, watch that. This week, you're on your own. We've only got three entries so far. I think this show is losing popularity. We've only got three entries this week, or up to this point,

for the Santa Size Me trailer contest. So post your two-minute or less fake trailer on YouTube, and I will choose a winner around December 15th and then announce it on the 12 Guests of Christmas episode that will be recorded live here at UCB on Tuesday, December 20th. Let's go to the prize bag.

I forgot to get prizes from two of the guests backstage because they arrived and then suddenly the theme music was playing and I came out here so we'll get those from them when they get out here. But in addition to that, you can get a Weezer poster, a Weezer t-shirt, the Hurley album by Weezer signed by all four members of Weezer.

And don't forget, I'll be on the Weezer Cruise in January, weezercruise.com. And then also one of the guests brought, this is pretty awesome, a purse pack, Charmin to go toilet seat covers. And then of course they've got their bear, the bear from their, the cartoon bear from the commercials

that has all the pieces of toilet paper disgustingly stuck on its ass. Listen, if a bear shits in the woods it's not going to use Charmin. It's going to just pick up a nearby woodland creature and wipe its ass with it. Like a rabbit or something. Five seat covers are in here. So that was generously brought up by one of the guests.

And let's bring them out here. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Megan Neuringer, Matt Bronger, and Paul F. Tompkins. Hello. Hello, Doug. Hi, Doug. Hi, Doug. Hi, Doug. Hi, Doug. Hi.

Megan, first timer on Doug Loves Movies. Yes. You were on The Betsy Interruption No. 9 in New York City. It's available now on iTunes. And according to IMDb, you're in two upcoming films, Bachelorette with Kristen Dunst, in which you play Bridget? No.

They got that wrong on IMDb? I can't believe IMDb got that wrong. What's your character? It's definitely IMDb's fault. Yeah. No, I play an unfortunate-looking cousin number one in Bachelorette.

There's more than one unfortunate-looking cousin? There was one and two. We were a duo. And we, during like a rehearsal dinner, we do a really shitty song and dance number. Who's the other one? My friend Leslie. Leslie what?

Mizell. Oh, okay. The great Leslie Mizell. Are there any fortunate looking cousins? And how many of them are there? There's actually no other cousins in the movie. So we were cast as unfortunate-looking cousins, and we really did.

We really rocked that unfortunate look. I swear, they really... It took a lot of makeup and special effects. No, it just took a hair teasing. Oh, you just have big crazy hair? As crazy as my hair can get. Does it take place in New Jersey or something? It was shot

in New York. I feel like... No idea where it takes place? No. Anytown, USA? They have weddings everywhere these days. That's true. They'll just do them wherever. They spread out from New York. That's true. They'll just do them wherever. Yeah, they spread out from New York. There's no rules anymore.

Yeah. You got to keep it close to Niagara Falls if you ask me. Yes, Matt? Why didn't they just call you guys cousins if there weren't any other kinds? Like you'd come in the room and everyone's like, whoa. Well, we were dressed like Stone Cold Fluts. We were dressed like whores in crazy hair and makeup. Why weren't you whorish cousins then? Yeah, and why is that unfortunate?

I will say this. Great question. Fair. I will say that it was scripted to be unfortunate looking. We were then cast, and the role was not expanded. Like, unfortunate, you know, the spectrum of what that means. I guess we were on one side of that spectrum. I don't know if it was less Unfortunate or more...

Yeah. It's too much trouble to list you as slightly Unfortunate. Right. Unfortunate's already so unwieldy in the end titles. You know, it really activates your imagination. When you hear unfortunate, you can think of a snaggle tooth. You can think of, like, gout or something. Sure.

Like, everybody can have a pass at what unfortunate means. But that'd be easy to just say gout twins. Or gout cousins. Yeah. But here's where I screwed up. You were in Bachelorette with Kristen Dunst and you play Bridget in, according to IMDb,

Untitled Psychological Thriller. Guys, my career is pretty sweet. Is that a real thing? Untitled Psychological Thriller? And why don't they just go with that? Because that's a pretty scary title. They were originally going to call it

Unfortunate Psychological Killer. But they went with Untitled. No, it might be called Sanatorium. Oh, that sounds good. But it's really, it's scary. I saw some dailies. Really scary, you guys. Does a chair fall over?

Because that's what happens in Paranormal Activity 3. How did you know? Basically, yeah. Ghosts like to knock shit over. A crazy chair falls over. A crazy unfortunate chair. Matt Bronger,

winner of the first tournament of championships is here, everybody. Well. Back again. If you heard it, you know I won. Because everyone else fell on their. Well. Back again. If you heard it, you know I won. Because everyone else, like, fell on their own swords.

Long absence. You went up against two very competitive players, Jimmy Pardo and Ricky Lindholm. Yes. They've been, you know, Pardo was back again in the next Tournament of Championships, I think. And someday you will be a competitor. Of what? If you're willing to participate. Oh, yeah.

In the Super Tournament of Championships, where you will take on sam levine sam the ma'am levine aka little wolverine and and a third player to be named once we finish the third tournament of championships which will start up probably in 2012 probably paul it's probably gonna be paul topkitz if i if i were a betting man i would i would put i would have it between Paul F. Tompkins or Edgar Wright. If you were a betting cousin? If I were an unfortunate betting cousin with Gout, that's what I would do. So, Matt, my question for you, because I like to have a question for everybody. Okay.

Got to have one for me, I guess. That's how I do it. Most talk shows they have a lot of questions, but me, I just prepare one question for each guest and then we move right into why we're all really here. The Leonard Maldon game.

But what's this Our Footloose remake thing that I saw on your website? Yeah! Don't wriggle out of this one, Matt. Alright, boys. Here's the thing. It was a guy named David

Seeger who did a series I was in called Ikea Heights where we filmed a soap opera illegally in an Ikea using their furniture and stuff like that during open hours. It's really funny.

I played Detective Mathis, the homicide detective of Ikea Heights, who's kind of like a grizzled old Nick Nolte type, like, goddamn Ikea Heights. And people are looking at beds behind me and I'm hanging up headphones like, fuck you, kung. And people thought I was crazy.

And everyone on the show, we had fight scenes, and so he, emboldened by that, heard they were doing a Footloose remake. So we did a shot-for-shot remake where he just put online a website where anyone could click on a scene, and once you click on it, you

were committed to shoot it. So we got people from all over the world, actually, to shoot different, some of it's in French, some of it's in Japanese, but it's the whole Footloose movie. If you go to, I think if you just Google the Footloose Project, you can go to it. And I basically played Sounds very noble. It's not.

The Footloose Project. Footloose Project. Helping fans of Footloose the world over. Unfortunate fans. No, I just played the John Lithgow character a couple times in over. Unfortunate fans. No, I just played the John Lithgow character a couple times in it. In, for some reason, a blonde wig and a priest's

collar the whole time, which he never had. That's one thing I find frustrating in movies is that the characters aren't played by enough actors. They always have just one actor playing a character and it doesn't change constantly throughout the film. There's tons of actors. Right. Like, they always have just one actor playing a character and it doesn't change constantly throughout the film.

There's tons of actors out there. Yeah, why not just have... There's that one guy, the guy who did Happiness. What's his name? He did a movie where... Todd Solons did a movie

where, like, different people played... Palindromes. Palindromes. Thank you very much. Now I have to say it. That was Gabourey Sidibe that just said that. I wasn't going to point out that you were in the

crowd because they told me backstage, but when you start yelling shit out, then I got to give a shout out to Precious. Also a helpful heckler. Yeah, no, it was very helpful heckling from Cabaret.

You were great when you hosted Saturday Night Live, by the way. Yeah, very funny. What do you mean you don't believe that? What kind of lies do you think I perpetrate up here? This is a very honest podcast. I wouldn't say that just to say it. If Anna Faris were in the audience, I'd go,

nice try. You would bring it up? You'd look at her and bring it up? I'm just saying, I gotta be honest. You gave it your best. I'm out hosting SNL. Some people don't have as good at it. You either got it or you don't got it.

Are you familiar with Garfunkel and they've been on my show a few times do you know them they're they're they're a pop they're like a pop folk duo the comedians funny girls and they have a song called running with chicken that you inspired or that. Yeah, check it out. Check it out. It's awesome. Well, really, Sapphire inspired. Sapphire was ground zero of running with chicken inspiration. It all gets back to... It's all ultimately based on a novel by Sapphire. But I thought... I heard...

All of it. I heard Gabby Rift running with the chicken. I heard that the scene was just supposed to take place in the restaurant. And she's like, I'm going to run with this chicken. And the director followed her out the door. And hence an amazing scene. Now, why were the director and all the actors there? What's that?

Why were the director and all the actors there? I don't know what you're saying. They were there to film the movie Precious based on a novel by Sapphire. I see. You're going back to the Sapphire thing. You're right. You're right. Sapphire was responsible for all of it going back to the Sapphire thing. You're right. You're right. Sapphire was responsible for all of it.

Don't remove Sapphire from the equation, Doug. What do you think the next Sapphire... Did Sapphire do another novel? Precious-er. Precious-er 2, The Reckoning. Because seriously, Precious needs to get a lot of revenge. But thank you so much for coming to the show and

yelling that out. I was going to be quiet about it. I was going to be totally cool. Because I was excited. That's like Christmas morning when somebody comes back and says, it says, Gabourey Sidibe's in the crowd. It's like, you've got to be fucking kidding me.

2012 is almost over, and so I'm going to officially call that the best thing that's happened to me all year. And it's 2011. 2011. 2011 is almost over. It's the best thing that's going to happen to me in 2012. Please, Doug, don't tell me. Gabby S. was in the crowd. Don't tell me you literally believe 2012 was almost over. It's the best thing that's going to happen to me in 2012. Please, Doug, don't tell me.

Gabby S. was in the crowd. Don't tell me you literally believe 2012 is almost over. I don't want to worry about you, man. Have you ever gone anywhere and just sat there in the audience with a bucket of chicken? That would be awesome. People would look over, is that her? I'm pretty sure it is.

One of you get out? I want her to move into a guest seat. All right. There goes Paul F. Tompkins. Damn it! First to volunteer to leave. Would you consider coming on the show as a guest sometime? Yeah.

Okay, great. Come on over. No, I'm sorry. Paul's back. Snooze, you lose. I came back because one person went, Oh. That's all it takes.

Reason enough. Yeah. All right, so check out the Footloose remake starring... You check it out. I'm sorry. I don't want to fuck up Matt's plug. No. Why?

I don't care. I get no money from that. Does anybody get money from it? No. I don't think so. Once you try to get money from it, Paramount would be like... You'd get horribly sued. Paramount would drop that footloose boot on your neck. Hell yeah. Yeah. Paul F. Tompkins is here, everybody.

Yay! Yay! IMDB says that a movie that's being filmed currently that you're in is called Kill Me Deadly. And that you play Jamie? Jaime. Or Jaime?

Jaime, really? Si. Claro que si. But my favorite part, have you seen the listing in IMDB? Yes. It says next to Jaime in parentheses, rumored. That's right. So there's a rumor out there that you play Jaime in Kill Me Deadly?

Is it true? It's rude to spread rumors. That is a movie that's being made by Kirsten Vangsnest from Criminal Minds. And it is being made slowly but surely. I have not yet filmed a single thing, but I can confirm the rumor that I have agreed to be in it. As Jaime.

As Jaime. Okay. It's a sort of film noir spoof thing. How do you know it's pronounced that way if you haven't shot anything yet? I'm very familiar with the character. They tell you in advance. Oh, okay.

Like before you show up. I'm checking. I don't know. Wait, you just take roles? They don't tell you what they are? Hey, you're in the movie. Show up at 7 a.m. We're either calling you Kimberly or Jane.

I don't know. She's in a Tide commercial that's playing right now. She just showed up and they handed her somebody's baby and said, pretend this is yours. And she touched its face. Now it's mine. Now it's mine. I touched its face.

Crucial mistake. That's why parents are like, don't touch my baby's face. Because, yeah, it's like Rumpelstiltskin or something. Like, if you touch a baby's face, it's yours to keep. Exactly. Get away from my baby's face. So Jaime, what are you going to sound like in the movie? Are you going to have some sort of accent?

Yes, I play a Latino gardener, and I will have a Latino accent. What, Michael Peña wasn't available? From Tower Heist with Gabriela Sinema? What, we couldn't have an American play fucking Superman? Whoa. Yeah. Settle down. That's right.

The guy from Immortals is the new Superman, right? Really? I think so. Henry Cavill? Oh, I did not realize he was an Immortal. Superman was from Krypton. He wasn't American. That's a good point.

But he had a fondness for America. He did. He had the accent. He grew up here. He grew up here. Intentionally, he grew up here. Yeah, he was a citizen. So if he went back to Krypton, they were like, oh, listen to your phony accent.

He was like, look, I spent a lot of time there. Oh, is that right, Clark Gable? Clark Gable. Because he had a Clark Gable-ess. What else are we talking about? I thought you were calling Paul Clark Gable because he's so dapper. Well, I would.

And he doesn't give a damn. Frankly. So, starting with Megan, have you seen anything lately in the motion picture theaters or at home or with your baby that you just acquired? You probably see a lot of kids' movies now. I actually, I I feel I think

I really want to see Like Crazy but that doesn't count for the purposes of your question No I like What You Want to See is a good good jumping off point I like Crying so I want to see Like Crazy Well then you're going to love Like Crazy because it's just about how awful it can be to try to have a relationship when one of you can't get back into the country

Yeah It's like Romeo and Juliet but they live. It's like they live but they live. Everyone wears special sunglasses and that's how

they fall in love. Yeah. Well, the last thing I saw was Drive. Okay. And I've been jamming on it ever since.

Did you go out and try to find that jacket and then purchase it and own it? Am I an asshole? No. No, you're not. I don't know you that well, but I don't think you're an asshole. Isn't that, I mean, I felt like,

I feel like if you buy the drive jacket and wear it, you just are disappointing people by being like, you don't look like Ryan Gosling. You're setting yourself up for that. You're inviting that comparison, that's true. But even Ryan Gosling look like Ryan Gosling. You're setting yourself up for that. You're inviting that comparison. You are unfortunate looking. Even Ryan Gosling, though, was doing crimes with that jacket on. Like, why would you wear such a distinctive

jacket if you are going to go commit a crime? And then people later would go, his jacket was fucking sweet. I remember that. So they don't remember the face. Oh, they won't. Yeah, they won't know the face. They'll just know that jacket that no one else has. He looked like a dragon or something. You're talking about a satin scorpion?

Yeah. Wait, wasn't a satin scorpion that robbed this place? Yeah. What did he do in the movie? I haven't seen it. Oh, you haven't seen Drive? No. Oh, okay.

Oh, it's so good. I mean, it's good for men and women. You say so. I'm glad you liked it. I thought it was overrated. And by overrated, I don't know what I'm saying, because it didn't make that much money, and the critics seem mixed.

Overrated by people that you've talked to. Yeah, yeah. On this podcast. Everybody I talk to loves it. Every week. Yeah, that's how I felt, too. They love it. I felt a lot of it was just way too drawn out for no reason

and kind of boring in parts. I liked it, but people were like, ugh, ugh, as they were coming out of the theater parts. I liked it, but people were like, oh, oh, as they were coming out of the theater. I'm just like, what? What happened? Because I read a lot of crime and noir and love those kind of movies.

And it was like the first time someone had seen a crime in a film. It was. He shot him. He shot him with a gun. That's illegal. To the tune of Duran Duran. It's everything I've dreamed of.

I liked it, but, you know. Yeah, there's a lot of 80s-ish music in it and stuff. And it actually, it freaked me out because that's exactly how I react when someone interrupts me eating pie. Exactly. I've seen it. You know what I'm talking about?

The guy's like, hey, remember that job we pulled? And he's like, I'll kick your fucking teeth in. He's like, all right, and walks away. And he's eating pie at the time? He's eating pie. Oh, okay. Yeah, it's like, hey, remember that job we pulled? And he's like, I'll kick your fucking teeth in. He's like, all right, and walks away. And he's eating pie at the time? He's eating pie. Oh, OK. Yeah. It's like, tough guy eating pie.

Really great moment. Memorable moment. True. Great filmmaking. Way to play along, Megan. So is that the most recent movie you've seen? Drive? No. Mad Dronger? seen? Drive? I saw the...

No way. No. How dare you? You take that back. No! Bring something else to the table. A movie with no pie. I saw The Guard with Don Cheadle.

Yeah, it was an interesting flick. What's the other guy's name? Brendan Gleeson. Yeah, that guy's good. In Bruges, right? It's by the brother of the guy who did In Bruges, basically. Really?

It's a very similar film in terms of quirky crime. I've been trying to catch it, but I haven't been able to see it in the cinema, so I guess I'll rent it, but I've heard only good things about that. Yeah. I liked it. Fair enough. Paul F. Tompkins. Hi. Real quickly, you're a voice in the

animated cartoon Tangled. That is true. And do you know the name of your character? Short Thug. Is that a short round from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom grown up? Yes. You grew up to be a short thug? That's right. I do a horrifying accent. Is there a tall thug and a medium thug?

Well, they're identified different ways, not by height, because in the original I don't know if I'm allowed to say this, but I'm going to say it in the original pages that I saw of the script allowed to say this but I'm going to say it in the original pages that I saw of the script my character was identified as drunk thug

and then I think everybody said oh this is like a movie for children so let's not have that in there let's not spell it out at least

yeah that's obviously what the character was but they just short people are all drunk he was also short every short person are all drunk he was also short every short person is a drunk

yeah what else are they gonna do they have one drink and they're fucking drunk because they're so short they got no reason to live alright shall we play you don't want to know

what movies I've seen oh sorry you never asked me what did you you never ever asked me All right, shall we play a game? You don't want to know what movies I've seen? Oh, sorry. You never asked me. What? You never, ever asked me. Have you seen Tangled? Yes. With all the various sizes of thugs?

I went to the premiere of Tangled. Oh, that's good. It's probably less noisy kids at the premiere. It was the best. Because of the presence of little children, everyone had to act nicer. And the premiere had to be, like, the party afterwards had to be, like, a decent thing that people could take their children to. Because that's exactly what they were doing. So it was so nice.

Did Short Thug have a nice time in the bounce house at the after party? No, here's what it was. Because, like Because a regular party, a Hollywood party like that is so juvenile, like when it actually is for juveniles, it becomes adult and it's really nice. And then it's like, this is a great party.

This is not bad at all. But I saw the movie Beginners the other night. Which, yes, I'd heard such great things about it and it was the weirdest experience because I really enjoyed the movie. But nobody said how sad it was. It gets really, really sad. It's brutal.

It's really sad. I love that movie. So I guess go see it? Christopher Plummer. He was great. Probably Oscar nominee, I would imagine. Probably. Story, career

Great performance At the very end I'm assuming No people are after him He doesn't He owes money to somebody That's right He talks too much

And he's also He's in Girl with Dragon Tattoo So it's a big year for him Who would ever want to go see that I read those books Right And then My wife and I rented

The Swedish version Of the first one. And reading that stuff is a lot different than seeing it acted out. I think the first rape, when the first rape happens, we turn to each other like, we're not going to watch any more of this, right? Wait, you don't watch movies for the rapes? I just sit there the whole time going, drive, what's movies for the rapes? I just sit there the whole time going, drive, what's up? No rapes?

Not rapes I've already read about. Oh, yeah. Oh, that you have to read about while they're happening. Yes. I don't want to read about rape while I'm watching rape. I want to be able to concentrate. What's so sad about beginners? No fresh rapes.

Fresh rapes? So it turns out it's not really... No, first time rapes. I think I'm entitled to make a rape joke after 20 years of not doing it. I'll give you that. I'm like the one guy everybody gets quiet for, like, whoa.

Rape is a crime. Well, we should mention that your first... Did you say that like a question? Rape is a crime? Your first album, your first album's called No Rape Jokes. That's right. You built up a whole career on it.

I scramble the letters so it's not that obvious. Now I gotta ask you, when you scramble them, what'd you come up with? It's called Impersonal, which almost could be scrambled to No Rape Jokes. If Impersonal had a J in it. And a K. And a K. I didn't say it did in it. And a K. And a K.

Yeah. I didn't say it did, Doug. You did not. You said almost. Wait, a J and a K, so it's no rapes. JK. JK tons. Plenty of rape jokes.

Tons. The whole thing. You will not be disappointed. If that's what you came here for. I forgot to ask you backstage. Did you guys bring anything for me to give away? Oh. Sure? Oh, he's going to pocket a $20 bill from

Paul. Do you want to sign it? You should probably sign it because they're just going to spend it if you just give it to them. They should. Tough times. All right. And a 20 from Matt Bronger. $40. Occupy, Occupy, Occupy, Occupy. No more tents at Occupy Occupy No more tents at Occupy

I just went out and bought a tent and I found out no tents so I just gotta go stand there I brought the Charmin I brought the Charmin Yeah she brought some wipes which that'll come in happy if you're occupying somewhere They were pretty expensive

Yeah Well this is the first time That would come in happy if you're occupying somewhere. They were pretty expensive. Yeah. Wow. This is the first time all three guests have purchased or given money. They all put some money into their contribution to the podcast. You're welcome, everyone. Yeah. But all of their CDs. You have Freak Wharf and Impersonal,

Paul F. Tompkins. Those are available on the internet. And Matt Bronger has a CD called Blame It on the Night. Soak up the night, but that's okay. You gotta admit that was pretty good, though. That was amazing. I wish I would have thought of that. That's the next one.

Someone is to blame, though, for spilling all the night in the first place. It's true. That needs to be soaked up. That's the next one. Someone is to blame, though, for spilling all the night in the first place. It's true. That needs to be soaked up. That's true. Well, actually, the album of rape jokes should be called Blame It on the Night. That's right. Wasn't me. Blame It on the Night, lady. Then take it back.

Or Afternoon Delight would be a good name for an album of rape jokes. No? Or Afternoon Delight would be a good name for an album of rape jokes. No? No, just a quick sidebar. Rape is not funny. Yeah, yeah, it's not. Still, after all this time, it's still not funny. I don't condone it.

And I also don't condone sitting in the front row with a Doug Loves Musicals shirt on. Because that's like asking to be raped. I do love musicals, though. All right, let's play the Letter Moulton game, you guys. Let's do it. I also forgot to mention to you backstage that Megan and Matt may not be aware of this. Paul knows that people in the audience, of course,

have name tags, and you're just going to go out and select a name tag that you'd like to play for and then bring it back to your seat. So go do that now. There's a guy with what looks like a fan that says Chris on it. Yeah, drop your

microphones. Violently. There's a guy named Keith who has a looks like a can of something. Some sort of beverage. Megan's a guy named Keith who has a looks like a can of something. Some sort of beverage. Megan picked a... That's been picked before, right? Did they win last week with that?

Okay, good. So we don't want people to win again. Alright, so Megan picked that crazy fun ball that says, if I recall correctly, Jake or Josh? Jake. Okay. It says Jake in the middle of it. And then Matt Pronger has some sunglasses that say Susie on them. Nice.

Which are, I hope you didn't wear those driving over here. That would be dangerous. And then Paul picked a little mouse, a little Mickey mouse that's a stormtrooper, holding a sign that says Leslie. A lot of support for Leslie here tonight. Oh, and there's another celebrity, two celebrities in the crowd tonight I should also mention. Elizabeth Lame

and Psychic Andy from the Totally Lame podcast are here. What the devil you say? Where are they? Let's hear it for them. They're here in like VIP seats. Or they didn't show up. Oh, there they are.

Oh, there you are. Scary. All right. Are we keeping you up? I'm so sleepy. All right. You know how most great bedtime stories have rape in them And so I get exhausted

When the subject comes up Last night I watched Bob Costas just to get sleepy Here we go Leonard Maltin game Let's start with Matt Bronger Then go to Paul and then go to Megan. As I often like to do with the newer players, so they get up to speed as it goes along.

You get to pick a category, Matt Bronger. Would you like someone named... I'm holding my microphone in the crook of my arm like an English hunting gentleman. That could very well be a rifle that's about to murder some quail. A droopy droopy rifle. They break it open and then they... Yeah, you're right. Forgot about that.

Alright. Here are your category options, Matt. At 8 Heists, someone on Twitter is called 8 Heists, suggested, did not see that one, which is movies that feature Nazis. Yes.

Did not see that one. And at iLibertarian on Twitter suggested Mike Hunt which is movies with either Mike or Hunt in the title.

And then at some random fool suggested Tootsie Pops which is films in which Dustin Hoffman plays a father. That's great. That is good.

That's really good. Which one would you like to play, Matt? Nazis, Mike Hunt, or Tootsie Pops? Let's do I Did Not See It Coming. I'm sorry. It's called

I Did Not See That Being Soaked Up. Which one? The Nazi one. Nazi one, okay. What was it? Did Not See That One. Did Not See That One. Did Not See That One.

Yeah, I don't know why you added coming to the end of that one. I wasn't aware that film existed. Oh, why? All right, Leonard Maltin gives this movie that has Nazis in it four stars.

I can't disagree. For that reason? We'll see. It's from 1981. He says that this movie is a rollercoaster ride of a movie. And he also says that it won Oscars for visual effects, editing, sound effects, editing, and art direction. And there are nine names listed. How many names do you think you get it in, Matt Bronger?

Oh. First Tournament of Championships winner. No pressure. None. I can guess it in... What are you, Herman Cain? Yes. No, Rick Perry.

I can guess it in three. I'll name two and then just sit here for a while. I can guess it in three names. Okay. Go to Paul F. Tompkins. I could guess that movie in negative one names. Yeah.

There he goes, showing off his Jaime accent. All right, Megan. You're in a tough spot for a first time player. You can go more negative names or just force Paul F. Tompkins to name the movie and the lead performer in the movie because you said negative one right?

I can guess it in nine names. That's not Yeah you can't. That's not an option. Go for it. I will go for it. I'm going to say the name of that film is Raiders of the Lost Ark. Yeah, you can't. That's not an option. Go for it. Go for it, she says. I will go for it. Please. I'm going to say the name of that film is Raiders of the Lost Ark. Okay, and?

And I'm going to say the top-billed actor in that film. Oh, this is tough. It's kind of surprising who got top billing. Harrison Ford. No, I'm sorry. Alfred Molina. You throw me the idol, I throw you the whip. Oddly enough, he played Jaime. Harrison Ford, Raiders of the Lost Ark.

That is correct. Paul F. Tompkins. Good job. Paul F. Tompkins with the point. Very well done. Did not see that one coming. Okay, so Paul has a point. Megan challenged him, so that means we start with Matt Bronger

and then head down toward Megan and around to Paul. So Matt, once again, you get to pick a category. Would you like today is Beverly D'Angelo's birthday. Great actress. So the films of Beverly D'Angelo. Remember the time we met her when she came to see that musical play we were in?

Kind of. Yeah. She's like, she was friends with Moon Zappa and she came to see that show that we did. And then I saw her at the Viper Room. She was nice. Do her show. I don't think she ever leaves the Viper Room. Oh, you saw her full, like she does the cabaret thing? Sang some songs. Nice. Okay, so that's the first option.

Beverly D'Angelo. Second option. Very exciting category that only whip out when the players are good at the game. Asparagus P suggested... Zero Names. This is a category where if you pick it, you get to start, but you have to start at Zero Names, and I will read the entire review and then tell you how many names are in it, but you have to start at zero names, and I will read the entire review and then tell you how many names are in it, but you have to start at zero. So it's a very risky play to pick that category. And your third option is Doggone It,

and that's films where a dog dies. Always get some moan from the audience, like these aren't fictional dogs, and that they make movies in Hollywood where they just murder a dog. To their credit, though, it would be amazing if you were like where dogs died. And it was like, yeah! Jesus. But just the idea of dogs dying.

Like, we're talking about dogs fake dying in movies. Yeah. But just the idea of that. Not even seeing a scene of it. Nah, up until the 60s, they killed him. Yeah, right? That's probably true, right? That's how it used to work, yeah.

And Milo and Otis, they probably went through like 10. They went through so many Milo's. Don't start about Milo and Otis. Yeah, those poor animals. They drowned him in the bags. But such a funny movie. It's really hilarious. They did not die in vain.

No. No, they did. That's part of what makes it darkly humorous. Okay, Matt. I'm going to go zero names. I think that sounds exciting. It's an exciting category. You get to start.

Then we'll go to Megan, then Paul. So just because I'm dumb, you just read the whole description and I just have to guess the name of the movie. Yeah, and you would have totally got that as soon as I started to read the whole description. I just have to guess the name of the movie. Yeah, and you would have totally got that as soon as I started to read the whole description. But you also have to bid. Yeah, the bidding starts at zero.

So you have to say zero or negative names and then we'll go from there. You're not dumb. You stop it. The idea is basically the idea is theoretically everyone on the panel will know the answer, as will most people in the audience.

And then the trick is, how many people could you name from the movie going from the top of the cast down? That is the trick, Doug. That is. The year. Four stars from Leonard. The year is 1974.

And he says about this movie, They said it couldn't be done But co-writer director Francis Coppola Made a sequel that's just as compelling This one contrasts the life of Melancholy Don Al Pacino With the early days of his father Robert De Niro as an

immigrant in New York City. Winner of six Oscars including Best Picture, Director Screenplay, Supporting Actor De Niro, Score Nina Rota and Carmine Coppola. Art Direction, Set Direction and a bunch of people listed. There are

22 names. Fuck. So you can start by saying zero. Or if you think you know who the lead actor or actress is, you could say one. Or two or three. What do you think you can do with that? I'll do negative four.

Wow. Impressive So we go to Megan You already named a couple in the Yeah but I didn't say what order they're in From top down I think I know what you're going to do I think it's the right thing to do. Negative five, right?

You're going to go negative five? Well, right? I'm going to be overly confident. You think you can name the top five billed actors in this movie? In this classic film that everyone has seen. But in the correct order. But in the correct order. I just say you could say name it

and then Matt would have to do four names in the correct order. But then you'd be a coward. A possible winning coward. It's up to you. No pressure. What if I say negative four also? Then I just try to get the order right

No you can't do that He's got four locked down You'd have to go five names Can you name five people That are in this movie Yeah I think I don't think you can

I'm just saying that I know how this is going to play out I've done this show a few times I know what's happening It's true I can name them by their outfits And their faces But I am blanking on some of their names

I can name them by their accents We're going to start an outfits and faces category She wears that in this But now it's like very special. Which is obvious. Use your suit. Stupid looking.

This guy, he's wearing brown. He's got kind of a long face. He looks sad all the time. Oxford shoes. Just tell Matt to do it. Matt do it. That's my advice.

Say name that movie, Matt. Name it, name it. Okay, what's the name of the movie, Matt? Godfather Part Two. Yeah, and what are the four top billed actors in order?

I'm going to go Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Marlon Brando, and... Ah, fuck! I just fucked myself. Damn it! Many of us remember

Marlon Brando dying in Godfather 1, but... Yes. Yes. You're right. But we're a bunch of fucking smarty-pants remembering that.

I mean, Diane Keaton. But yeah, I... No, yeah. So you get the point, Megan. See, that's how it works. Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Diane Keaton, Robert De Niro. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, so Duvall was second. Oh. Yeah, yeah.

Duvall was second. I was going to say, is James Caan in it? He already did from the first. Yeah. But if you'd have gone five, you'd have to go all the way to John Cazale. What about James Caan? Which I doubt you remember his name. James Caan died in? James Caan in it? From the first. Yeah. But if you'd have gone five, if you'd have gone five, you'd have to go all the way to John Cazale. What about James Caan? Which I doubt you remember his name.

James Caan died in the first one, too. He died in the first one, too. But there is like a little flashback at the very end, right? Yeah, he's the 22nd billed actor. He is? Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And Dominic Chayenese. Chayenese. Chayenese. He's the 21st billed actor and of course went on to be in The Sopranos. Anyway, the point to Megan. We've got a went on to be in The Sopranos. Anyway, a point to Megan.

We've got a point for Paul, a point for Megan. Show's running late. This is an exciting match that they're both taking you down, Matt. I know. The very first champion. I won by a fluke that last time.

You kind of took yourself down. I can't really. It's not an honorable point. She can't take credit for that. It's okay. All I know is I'm great. Yeah. So we start with Paul and then we go to Megan. I can't really it's not an honorable point it's okay all I know is I'm great yeah so we start with Paul

and then we go to Megan Paul you get to pick a category would you like a film that has a Weezer song on the soundtrack

woo he would one guy in the audience is excited about that it's Rivers Quill woo yeah he's here

so many celebrities here tonight yeah celebrities and empty seats it's quite a quite a mix Rivers Cuomo. Yeah. He's here. So many celebrities here tonight. Yeah. Celebrities and empty seats. It's quite a mix. Edgar Wright hasn't seen it. It's films that Edgar Wright has not seen,

which is really no way for you to know which ones he has or has not seen. And then from the categories I've already mentioned, let's go with

Beverly D. Beverly D.Angelo. So would you like, there's a Weezer song on the soundtrack, Edgar Wright hasn't seen it, or Beverly D'Angelo? These categories stink. They don't give you a good leg up. No, they don't. I wanted to choose Tootsie Pop. Well, maybe we'll have to go another round and then it'll come up again.

I'm going to go Beverly D'Angelo. Alright, Beverly D'Angelo's in this movie. There's a few that I'm absolutely certain she's in. It's from 1979. Two and a half stars from Leonard. Not good enough, in my opinion. His two and a half stars.

I think it should get more. He says about this movie that its impact is considerably muffled. And he also says that it doesn't hang together. Yeah. Those are weird things to say.

It sounds like the movie muffled impact. The story of Yeah, those are weird things to say. It sounds like the movie Muffled Impact. The story of a meteor wearing a coat. That's right. And there are a really heavy coat. The meteor was cold.

And he lists 11 names I mean you can get it in Paul F. Tompkins 1979 79 11 names Impact

Muffled And what was the last thing he said? Doesn't hang together Doesn't hang together I'll give you a little bit more Has exciting moments But doesn't hang together Exciting moments?

The one thing I thought it was is now gone. Beverly D'Angelo. And how many names? Eleven. I'm going to say I can name that movie in nine names. Good opening bid. We go to Megan. Thank you. So you could say eight names,

seven, anywhere in that area, or name it. Megan. Let's try seven names. Okay. That's reasonable. Matt Pronger. Name it.

Smart play. Smart play. I have to name it. I'm going to give you the seven names, yeah. We're going to have a three-way tie and we're going to go long. Apologies to Comedy Bang Bang, formerly Comedy Death Ray, formerly not a thing. Megan, would you like to close again? 1979, two and a half stars.

I'm giving to you even if you don't want them. Exciting, but doesn't hang together and the impact is muffled. Considerably muffled. These guys are talking amongst themselves and your seven names are michael jeter miles chapin charlotte ray nicholas ray both rays spelled differently cheryl barnes don dacus and dorsey right those are your seven names. Yeah, those are all names

that didn't really go on to be in a lot of movies. I'll give you one. I'll just help her out just a tiny bit. Charlotte Rae, of course, played, she was on

Facts of Life as Mrs. Garrett. Michael Jeter was in The Fisher King. Right, and he played, what was his character on Sesame Street?

Like Mr. Noodle or something like that? I think so. I don't know. Was he on Sesame Street? was his character on Sesame Street? Like Mr. Noodle or something like that? I think so. I don't know. Was he on Sesame Street? I think so. I think it was Mr. Noodle. He's dead now,

so like Bill Irwin is the new Mr. Noodle. That's right. Michael G. just playing in it. I just only want to guess the only Beverly D'Angelo movie I know.

That's the way to go, I think. No, it's not this. But try it. National Lampoon's Vacation. No, that's incorrect. The rest of the names are Dorsey Wright, Annie Golden, Beverly D'Angelo, Treat Williams, John Savage, and it's a musical called Hair. Doug loves musicals. 1979?

Wow. 1979, yeah. 79. Wow. 1979, yeah. 79. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So what happened there? Matt got the point. We have a three-way tie. We got to finish this shit up.

Got to get this done. So who challenged? Matt challenged Megan. So we start with Paul. Hi. And then we go to Matt. Sure. And Paul would like the category Tootsie Pops.

Tootsie Pops. We'll go right into it to save some time. 2004 is the year of this movie in which Dustin Hoffman plays a father. One and a half stars from Leonard Maltin. No comment from me. He calls this movie unnecessary. Oh, it's awesome.

And then at the very end of the review, he writes, but the public loved it. It's unnecessary, but the public loved it. From 2004, one and a half stars, doesn't often play pop, and you have ten names in which to bid. I can name that movie in negative two names. Holy shit! Wow!

Paul came to play Tompkins. He did. That's what the F stands for. Came to play. What do you think of that, Matt? I'm trying to think of the hell this movie is. That would really help you out if you could figure out if you could figure out if you could figure out what movie it is. You're well on your way

to... Hey, I am the best at poker. I got nothing. Yeah, dude, take it. Is that movie Meet the Fockers? Maybe. And are the stars of that movie

Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro yes yes and yes we have a winner good job oh shit De Niro got top billing

Matt Brogdon pulls it out wow in a horrible horrible upset I do it every time. Accidentally,

the dumb guy won. It's a gift. It's a gift. I don't know how you do it. Leslie, come down here. You get to name a shithead. And of course, Jake. Jake? It happened again, Jake. You got up here, but no one won for you.

So write down who you want me to call a shithead. There you go, Leslie. And congratulations to Susie with the sunglasses. Do you need your sunglasses back or those for Matt to keep? They're 3D glasses. They're 3D glasses that you stole? You're supposed to give those back. I stole them.

Save a tree. Well, come get your prize package, Susie. Congratulations. She gets the whole bag. Yeah, I always bring a bag that I don't want anymore. Full of shit. You know, every time you go to something, somebody gives you a swag bag,

and then I save them, and then I recycle. Any plugs you want to get in? Ask and answer. Megan Nuringer, what do you got coming up? My Twitter is always refreshing itself with new tweets all the time. I'm like constantly tweeting. Can I just, I have to say this again for people that didn't hear the $2 Benson interruption from New York number nine. One of my favorite tweets of all time was written by her and it goes like this.
