Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seats With 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth There's still not one that he won't see Cause Doug loves movies Thank you. Benson! Benson! Benson! Benson! Benson! Benson! Benson! Benson! Benson! Benson! Hey, everybody.

My name is Benson, and I love movies. This is Benson Loves Movies. Coming to you from the governor's mansion in whatever state Benson was in. Gramercy Theater is where we're at in New York City on Sunday, August 19th. Two Oceans 12! Let me see your name tags. Let me see them.

I know you thought that was going to happen later, but I'm anxious. Oh, the lights came up. There's people up top. This is sweet. Christian. It's a picture of Jesus. God bless America.

Oh, your name's Erica? That's a good one. That's pretty clever. Kill Bill Parker? Are you Bill Parker? You shouldn't walk around with a sign that says that. Goldie Hawn, Ghost Protocols. He took the Protocol poster and he put a ghost-like hood over Goldie Hawn because that's

how Ghost Protocol works. Oh my god, there's so many good ones. Thank you guys so much for bringing those. What is that? A big rug in the shape of a dog biscuit? It's a dog bag? Dog bed? And you just brought it? Or is that

your name? Is your name Dog Bed? Are you Indian? My name is Dogbed. You guys, don't laugh at that. That was racist and stupid. Not necessarily in that order. Well, thank you for bringing name tags. Since last I spoke and you listened,

I did a movie interruption at CineFamily in Los Angeles of Abe Lincoln, Vampire Hunter. Yeah, with guests Rob Hubel, Morgan Murphy, and Jason Mantzoukas. And it's definitely the best movie ever made about Abraham Lincoln killing vampires. Until someone else makes one, that is. Then I flew here to New York,

and you know Doug loves musicals. You know that about me. Yeah, I've seen three this weekend. I saw Into the Woods in Central Park, which is a great place to see a show. Maybe not that show, but, you know, it wasn't for me, but people around me seem to be enjoying it. And I saw Porgy and Bess featuring David Alan Greer, who some of you may have deduced,

oh, Doug knows Adam Carolla. David Alan Greer's on Adam Carolla all the time. Maybe Doug will reach out to him and get him to appear here tonight. And the answer is no, I'm not going to do that. Because that guy wouldn't let anybody else talk, probably. I think he's hilarious, but he should be on a show with only one other person. And man, on that, Porgy and Bess,

he dances like a motherfucker. He's a talented son of a bitch. So props to Dag. And I also saw a show called Dogfight, which is just like the movie Dogfight, but with singing and dancing instead of dogfighting. I mean, there's not much dogfighting in the movie Dogfight, if you know what it's about.

Anyway, that was a good show. I enjoyed that very much. And earlier today, we taped Benson Interruption number 17 here at the Gramercy. Were some of you here for that? Yeah. So that's going to be available soon or now in the comedy album section of iTunes. Do you guys think it's worth listening to? Yeah? Okay. That's the one guy.

No! Don't do it! From the corrections department regarding Bert Kreischer, when he was on, Charlize Theron's mother killed her father. Legally. I don't know what that means.

But that's what Wikipedia says, is that it was legally done. She did all the right paperwork to kill him. And the animators of Archer, like the production of Archer, does in fact live in Atlanta. Just not the people who do the voices. And let's look at the prize bag, you guys, for tonight.

We got some pretty amazing stuff. We got an Albert Nobbs DVD, but it's written on it by the person who brought it. Please don't post online. This is traceable to me, and I value my standing in the academy. So, somebody wrote that. You'll find out soon enough.

We have a CD from one of my guests, and also a book that's based on a movie featuring one of my guests. And I guess I could show you this T-shirt, because it doesn't really give away who is coming out here, because it's a T-shirt for a movie called The Guns of my guests. And I guess I could show you this T-shirt because it doesn't really give away who is coming out here because it's a T-shirt for a movie called The Guns of New York. And it looks like it's a movie about guns in New York.

I don't know if it's for or against them. And then I brought a Douglas Movies T-shirt that one of the guests signed because he didn't remember to bring something. And also Smug Life and Professional Humor and cds are also for the winning uh tonight i asked a lot of great people to come by tonight and uh five of them said yes and so they are here uh for your entertainment please welcome john millennium morurlock, Mike Birbiglia, Paul Rudd, and John Hamm. We did it. We did it.

You guys did it. You guys did it. You showed up here. People love your presence. And the presence that you brought. Let's go through them. Paul Rudd is here, everybody. Thank you. Hello.

Paul's inaugural appearance. What's that? Paul's inaugural appearance on the podcast. Yeah, first time ever. Yep. Long time listener. Long time not listener. First time appearer.

And he's busy. You listen to podcasts, Paul? I love podcasts. I watch them all the time. There's some video ones. What channel is this one on? This one is on Channel Fun. It's right next to one on your dial.

And you brought the Albert Knobbs DVD, so thank you for contributing that It's my own personal screener So let's be cool about it everybody Whoever wins Don't make a big thing out of it Don't run down the street Albert Nobbs screener

Shouldn't be in my possession I'm fairly certain It's traceable back to me So just don't post it online Otherwise I'll be kicked out of the union I'm fairly certain it's traceable back to me So just don't post it online Yeah Otherwise I'll be kicked out of the union Be cool about it John Mulaney is here everybody

And he Thank you I'm as excited as you are He brought a copy of his CD New in Town. Very popular. Which you asked me to bring. I did.

You don't just show up places with it. I said, please bring something. It would be a great gift. Yeah, but also I like to get in a plug for you. And you signed it for you, free CD, at $19 savings to you. Yeah. To whoever this is.

And then after I signed it, I was like, I think it's only $13.99 or something like that. But then when they show it to their friends, they'll be excited for the $19 savings. Then you look better.

Mike Birbiglia is also joining us. Hey, Doug. I'm very excited to be here next to Paul Rudd, who's consistently in my life called the more attractive

version of me. I get that constantly and it hurts. Aw. You don't seem to be disagreeing. No, I I don't know what be disagreeing. No, I... I don't know what to say. Honestly, it's like, I think...

I feel like I'm looking in the mirror. Thank you so much. I do, too. Yeah, there you go. There we go. Perfect. The listeners never tire of the physical humor. It was brilliant, if anyone's wondering. They love it.

And speaking of physical humor, there's a lot of it in Mike Birbiglia's new movie, Sleepwalk With Me. Nice. Oh, thank you. Thank you. nice oh thank you and uh the so this is you're giving away

a copy of the book version of your original this is the play it's not an adaptation of the movie like someone wasn't assigned to write a book about the movie because those are great those those movies that weren't books first

and then become a book some sad sack has to write. Now it's called novelization. Yes, that's the word for it. I did a book report on the book of Home Alone. Did you take it to task for not describing the movie correctly? Did I what?

Was it a critical book report? Or were you, or were you a pro the adaptation? I didn't like how they indulged. Like, they went into some of his inner motivations that I don't think John Hughes ever intended.

The kid was also very mad at paint and bowling balls. So they got caught in the crossfire. The kid hated Italians and that's why he went after. Kevin McAllister hated Italians. In the book, do they just say Joe Pesci's character?

Daniel Stern walked in. And then... I was always troubled that they were called the wet bandits. That, to me, sounds like they're bandits that jerk off on everything. And that's their calling card. So, Sleepwalk With Me, the film opens when? August?

In New York this Friday, August 24th. And then in 20 cities the following Friday, the 31st of August, including Los Angeles, Chicago, and the other cool cities. Though I like other cities. People love it. Rotten Tomatoes, it's a 100% positive reaction from the critics so far.

Yeah, it hasn't been seen by many people. But 100% of the critics who haven't seen it yet are really excited about it and uh and they love it and for for people who don't know about your one-man show that the movie's based on just a quick uh recap why why is it called sleepwalk with me i have a a sleep disorder called rem behavior disorder where which led me to a dangerous incident where I jumped out a second story window in my sleep. Hey, hey, hey, spoiler alert. No, it's not. It's actually not.

You can know that and see the movie. This is sounding an awful lot like Home Alone. Well, it has a Home Alone-like twist in the third act. But no, it's basically about this character developing this comedy career and being in denial about his relationship going south and also his deteriorating health. And it's funny.

I can't describe it in a funny way, but it has a lot of jokes and it's funny. And, oh, and Paul Rudd's in it. No, no, he's not actually. I'm not? The unattractive version of Paul Rudd is the star. I couldn't even get an audition for it, I remember.

There isn't a scene where you look in a mirror and talk about your goals with yourself. This is how I'd like to look eventually. If I could just get past this damn sleepwalking thing. Like, wouldn't it be great if we, as a sleepwalker,

instead of diving through a window, you just got on the elliptical for a few hours? I didn't know we were going to write jokes for this. I didn't either, brother. Morgan Spurlock is here. He brought the crazy

gun shirt, the gun movie, Guns of New York, and you don't really know anything about it, do you? I was at a film festival last night, and the producer of the film said, you should have a T-shirt from my movie. And so I brought that for you. There you go. Well, I'm going to pay it forward to whoever wins tonight.

Now, John Mulaney, you have to... This is your first time on the show. Yeah. And you just... It's a pretty natural assumption, I think, that you thought, oh, this show's probably about an hour long. And so you have to leave

at... once we're an hour into it. You're essentially our Cinderella. He's taping the Corolla podcast across town. And you have to skedaddle at nine o'clock. Yeah, that's the way I planned it, but I didn't know

who was going to be on the show. Oh, now you think it's probably smart to just stay for the whole thing and blow off that, what was it, a bar mitzvah? Where were you? Were you headed to a La Quinceanera? Do they say La Quinceanera or is it just Quinceanera?

I don't know. Come on, he is headlining. La Quinceanera? Right? You'd use the Spanish probably. No, it's just Quinceanera. Is that where you were going? I am going to a Quinceanera.

Okay. That's probably good for you. You should probably take off then. I feel really bad about it. Don't feel bad about it. I actually was given two Albert Knob screeners, and I will give you my other one if you stick around. All right.

All right. John has just taken out his phone Alright It looks like he's going to text someone Dear Manuela Did Mulaney just text you John? Yeah John it's cool if you stay It's really cool if you stay Look over to your right text you, John? Yeah, John, it's cool. It's cool if you stay. It's really cool if you stay.

Look over to your right. I am in a bit of a pickle. So, John Hamm, you, uh... You are here. Are you all caught up on Breaking Bad? Yes. There must be a little bit of weird pride that you have to be like, you're like Breaking Bad's sister show.

Sure. Sure. And they probably have the similar pride with you. Sure. Yeah. It's that show about the trains in the Wild West. They're like left out in the cold. They don't really fit in yet.

Hell in Wheels? I think they... See, it sounds like it's about a lady who drives real fast. That's trans-America. Knobs. I don't watch a lot of TV. John, are you on burn notice? I don't know which show you're on.

I'm on burn notice. This season. John is quite good. I'm going to warn all the other panelists. John is quite good at the Leonard Moulton game and is a finalist in the current tournament of championships. Yeah. Yeah. Which we're just waiting for a day when he's not too busy to participate.

I'm never too busy for a podcast, Doug. I think I've proven that over and over again. It really is. It's your bread and butter, the podcast. I was asking you backstage, you're just I was asking you backstage You're just hanging out in New York for a bit Yes

Not necessarily working on anything Taking it in You must have a film in the can There must be something that you've completed That sounds filthy You must have made one of those Shit room movies No No to made one of those shit room movies?

No. No. Friends with Kids out on DVD and VOD. But other than that, I am fully unemployed. When you're sitting in a hotel room, as I often do, or on my On Demand in Los Angeles on cable, they're selling Friends with Kids

as a hilarious comedy starring Jon Hamm and Kristen Wiig. It's a little bit of a mislead because you're probably the least hilarious part of the movie because your character is kind of a fucker. Yeah, no, it's... We didn't have a lot of input in how the movie was marketed. is very often that is the case. It's kind of a fucker. Yeah, no, it's, you know, we didn't have a lot of input

in how the movie was marketed. Hey, if it's working. They did a wonderful job, however, if anybody's out there listening. But yeah, that was the choice to sort of,

since a lot of the people are in Bridesmaids that are in our movie, they thought that would be a fun way in to lure people to watching a movie that's nothing like they expected.

Yeah. Everybody likes to be fooled. They should be saying, remember the more serious parts of Bridesmaids? This shit is heavy. But with the same people. Yeah. It's like a Orson Welles cast

of whatever they were called, the Mercury Theater. And one guy in the back, ha! That's weird. A 30s radio theater joke didn't go over well. I don't know why. I thought this was a magnificent Ambersons crowd.

I will hold off on any, I will not mention Battleship Potemkin. Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater, one of the first podcasters. Yeah, he podcasted the aliens were taking over. Indeed.

Paul, what are you, you're, how many films ahead are you at this point? Like, how many are backed up on the runway? I don't know, like three? Three. Three or four? Been sealing the trailers for This Is 40.

Looks amazing. Very entertaining. Thank you. Yeah, it comes out in December. When I was watching Knocked Up, I was like, if they can figure out a way to get Heigl out of the equation, I will watch the shit out of this. They did.

They did it. Let's bring her out. Catherine did. They did it. Let's bring her out. Katherine Heigl, everybody. Oh, God. She's not here. That we know of. She was, you know, I'm sure it was just scheduling.

I'm sure she was making a movie about a bounty hunter or a woman who can fly or something. A woman who can fly. I love those movies. Mulaney read the book. She's doing Amelia Earhart, but a sexier, long hair version. So what are the other ones, Paul, that you got coming out? I know, memory test.

There's a movie that I did with Paul Giamatti that Phil Morrison directed that doesn't have a title yet. So watch for that. Well, first let me take you back to the idea So sorry you guys Is Katherine Heigl here? And then I'm trying to work on a snuff film with Jon Hamm Fingers crossed

Oh they will be. Again, another visual joke for the listeners at home. Well, make it out, you know? Morgan Smurlock, how many movies have you made in the last, like, week or two? 16. You're a busy man. You're a busy, busy, busy man You've got Mansome is available to watch Starring Paul Rudd

That Mansome man right there There's a scene of like Paul Rudd And Jason Bateman in a bathtub Will Arnett and Jason Bateman Will Arnett Sorry Paul It's okay And then Will Arnett and Jason Bateman. Oh, Will Arnett. Sorry, Paul. It's okay.

And then what's next after that? Well, now Manson, which Manson the film, has become Manson the web series. So now if you go to Yahoo, you can see Manson five days a week, every day, where we tell you how to be more Manson. So you can learn things like, you know, how to pretend like you're listening to your girlfriend and, like, really important things men need to know.

How to make your own sex tape. We just shot that one in Atlantic City. This is important information, guys. But it stars Charles Manson, right? That's right. Charles Manson. Yeah. Charles Manson is very manly. Charles Manson in the? That's right. Charles Manson. Did... Yeah. Charles Manson is very...

Charlie Manson from Garbage. Charlie Manson in the soundtrack. It was great. Next week, swastika on your forehead. We're saving that for week four. Icebreaker or deal breaker. And what about, there's got to be something else you're holding back on me, Morgan. No, that's about it.

That's it? Everything else is in development? Yeah, nothing else. Okay, good. Well, I'd like you to slow down a little bit, because I'm trying to parody all of your films, and you're like three movies ahead of me, and it's exhausting. You really

keep moving, man. And I appreciate that about you. I'll go slow. You know what? We could have just had that conversation backstage. There was no reason for me to share it. With 242 people. Let me make sure I got all my questions in.

Oh, Paul, you've done Shakespeare in the Park. Well, at Lincoln Center, I haven't done Shakespeare in the Park, no. Okay. I've been to Shakespeare in the Park. Moving on to Mike Birbiglia. I went to Shakespeare in the Park. I've been to Shakespeare in the Park. Moving on to Mike Birbiglia. I went to Shakespeare in the Park also. You've seen Shakespeare in the Park? Yep, I've seen it as well.

I've seen it as well. I've actually seen Paul go to Shakespeare in the Park also, but I didn't say hi because I thought it would be weird. I'm fairly certain when I did Shakespeare at Twelfth Night, I went into the park to kind of go over my line, so in a sense, technically.

Nobody classifies it that way, though. It's a really specific what they mean when they say Shakespeare in the park. I think it counts. I think it counts. It was during the summer. Right?

Yeah. Okay. I was talking to Paul, but thanks, John. Here? Yeah, I mean, okay. I was talking to Paul, but thanks, John. Here to help, Doug. Thanks for jumping on that one, John. Here to help. I appreciate it.

John Mulaney, not only a hilarious comedian, but also a writer. What was your question about Shakespeare in the Park? I really... Once he said he hadn't done it, it ruined my question. My question was just going to be like, how many bugs flew in your mouth? Oh.

You know what? Several did when I was just an audience member. I saw Into the Woods there the other night. How was it? And I thought that that Twelfth Night you were in was done there, but it wasn't for me. It wasn't my cup of tea. Like, I don't like to drink a cup of tea that has shit in it.

No, it's really... Maybe? I think it's really good. It's probably really good. It just wasn't for me. It just wasn't my thing. But outside, like, it was threatening to rain the whole time, so that was exciting. And there was lightning in the background,

and it was about witches and stuff. You should tell the actors that. I liked the lightning in the background. Yeah. I liked things that weren't happening on stage. My feet did a little tap number and there was... Oh, the cab I took was great there. Just keep doing what you're doing.

But John does... Correct me if I'm wrong. You are half responsible for what the character Stefan says on Saturday Night Live. With Bill Hader, yeah. With Bill Hader. Yeah, with Bill Hader.

You work on it with him. Yes. And you must come up with the most fucking hilarious lines for that because he can't be laughing that hard at the ones he came up with.

So, because has there been a Stefan from beginning to end where he doesn't crack at some point? We did it as a sketch once with Ben Affleck. Sure. Where he was like a character and they were pitching a movie.

They were like the Wachowski brothers, sort of. And then I think he got through that. And then we did it on update after that. And I don't think he's gotten through one, but we'll change. I'll change lines in it right before air. So he's just reading it off prompter? No, I'll tell him. There are cue cards, not prompter.

So I'll tell him as he's walking up, I'll be like, it's now baloney danza. You know, or something like that. As he's walking over there. It's now baloney danza. It is now baloney danza. Deal with it.

Yeah. Because that's where he's cracking up is the new shit, right? Well, yeah, stuff that he's known about for maybe a minute and a half or something like that. And then one time, I couldn't think of any new jokes for it, but we had a line about Taylor Negron. It was in the 12 Days of Christmas.

Taylor Negron instead of two turtle doves. And I couldn't think of a new joke, so as Bill was about to roll out to talk to Seth, I handed him a photo I'd printed out of Taylor Negron. And it said, Dear Bill Hader, thank you for never making fun of me on Weekend Update. I was like, you need toader, thank you for never making fun of me on Weekend Update. I was like, you need to see this before you go out there. He, of course,

is in Fast Times. He's Pizza Guy. He brings the pizza to Spicoli. He's the guy on Seinfeld who washes Elaine's hair with tomato sauce.

Yeah. And he's the guy who in Better Off Dead. In Punchline says, Arr-ya-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r- Better Off Dead. And Punchline says, Oh yeah, don't get carpet. Get... And he's also the guy... He's in Young Doctors...

I know everything... He gets killed. He falls into a propeller and gets shredded by a propeller at the end of Last Boy Scout. Spoiler alert. Oh yeah. He worked in the liquor store in a movie called

The Stoned Age. Paul Rudd, everybody. Doug, really, you don't know The Stoned Age? I don't. You gotta watch it. It seems like it's perfect for me. It's awesome. Seems like I would enjoy it. But Paul, have you seen, with your busy

movie-making schedule, have you been to the cinema lately? Have you seen any films? Yeah. Yeah. What have I seen? I saw Beasts of the Southern Wild. Really? You're that excited about it?

I thought it was good, but it was like, it was interesting, but very, it's a very small story. I mean, it's about it was good, but it was like, it was interesting, but very it's a very small story. I mean, it's about a little girl, but but it was, yeah, I definitely liked it, but I wouldn't sit in a room and go, woo! when the subject comes up.

It seems a little but let's see, what else did you see? Maybe they're just excited about anything you've seen. You know what I just watched two days ago? Yes! That's what I thought, too. It's great, isn't it? I just loved it.

I watched Undefeated, the documentary. Oh, yeah, that's good stuff. Yeah, that was great. Yeah, that's like Friday Night Lights, but for reals. And for all three audience members who saw that film, thank you for watching a documentary. We appreciate it.

Yeah, Morgan's over there. I make documentaries. I saw a great documentary a few weeks ago, Ai Weiwei Never Sorry. It's an excellent film that's up right now. What's it about? It's about a Chinese activist artist named Ai Weiwei who's imprisoned by Chinese government. It's actually very funny.

Thank you for seeing a documentary. Yeah, I saw it because Morgan called me and asked me to see something. And I love Morgan's movies, too. I like documentaries. People should see documentaries. Documentaries are awesome, but that's the funny thing about reading critical analysis of them

is critics seem to just love documentaries, so every single one, they tend to... Except my documentaries. What? Critics like this, the first one. Critics like this The first one

You have to almost die for them to like it That's what it is Grizzly Man is great Grizzly Man is great Yeah, yeah Blair Witch is a good documentary Those people were all dead, Blair Witch people Silkwood Oh wait, that wasn't a documentary But you know what though Blair Witch is a good documentary. Those people were all dead, Blair Witch people.

Silkwood. Oh, wait, that wasn't a documentary. But you know what, though? To support Morgan's documentary thing, which I think is a good thing, let's go down the line, and John, what's a great documentary that you've seen? Oh, man, I'm going to mess up. I meant John Hamm.

Oh. It's stupid. I have to go. I had to do... No, I'm the stoner. I have to go. I had to do, no. I'm the one, I'm the stoner. I had to do that joke at some point. No, what were you going to say? Jiro or Hiro, Dreams of Sushi.

That's great. That's wonderful. That's like an animated. Yeah, it's an animated kung fu movie. No, it's a documentary about a sushi guy in Tokyo, right? Or Kyoto? All right, so check that one out. John Hamm, John H.

I just saw a wonderful documentary, I don't know if it's been released yet, called Brooklyn Castle, about an intermediate school in Brooklyn that's a Title I school very very poor and they have they've won like 26 high school chess championships somehow

and it's an impressive story it's really impressive the teachers there are extremely dedicated and the program keeps getting cut in half but they still take these kids to play chess and they're amazing at it. And, yeah, it's a really, really good, powerful movie.

And already being made into a fictional. Yeah, they're going to fictionalize it. Yeah, they're going to fictionalize it and make it into a movie. I'm sure that. Coolio will do the soundtrack. Michelle Pfeiffer will play the. Denzel Washington and Michelle Pfeiffer will be the coaches. It's going to be great.

Charlize Theron is going to play a tiny black kid it's about time if you love Monster you're going to love this yeah but Brooklyn Castle I saw it at South by Southwest and I loved it

and I fawned all over the people who made it and it got me nowhere got me nowhere. Got me no traction in this business. Paul, what about, have you said a documentary yet? I think I started the whole thing off. You really did? Yeah.

What's another good one? Another good one? One of my favorites is called Christian the Lion. Which was about, it's these two. You They will have your back on anything. I saw it years and years ago, and it reduced me to tears. These two guys buy a lion from Harrods in London. You can get anything at Harrods. And they realize that they need to integrate him into the wild, and they take him to Africa.

And he's integrated into this pride, and then they go back a year later and visit him. Sounds great, doesn't it? That does sound good. Grey Gardens? American Movie is a great one. American Movie is fantastic. Mike, Birbiglia?

This isn't a movie, but it's a documentary television series that Ira Glass, who produced my movie, made. It's this American Life TV series. It was on Showtime, and now it's on Netflix. There's an episode that is like must-see. I think it's one of the best pieces of anything

I've ever seen, which is there's an episode about this guy named Mike who is paraplegic and has a girlfriend and has relationships. It's one of the most fascinating things I've ever seen, so I'd look for that. Does he play Murderball?

No, that's another movie. That's a movie called Murderball. Those guys don't have girlfriends. And are you roasting the cast of Murderball? I will fucking take you on, Murderballers! You could come at me,

you could hurt my ankles, but other than that... No, I love Murderball, but also yours sounds interesting, too. I had nothing to do with mine. You're pulling the strings behind Ira Glass. Don't joke around. That's right. Yeah, it's true.

You're his puppet master. Morgan, what about any more to add? I love docs that make people want to watch more docs. Docs that are fun like King of Kong. Hands on a Hard Body, which is an amazing film. Heavy Metal Parking Lot,

which you guys should check all these out if you like to hang out in parking lots. Yeah, those last two sound like the same movie. Hell House is another great one where it's about a church that they create a haunted house every year, but inside all the rooms of the haunted house are people acting out scenes that were written like, I've got to get an abortion, and she's screaming in a bed.

And so at the end, after people go through all of these scenes in the haunted house, they go into a room and the guy goes, now it's a choice. Behind that door is hell.

Behind this door is eternal salvation. And people are like, fuck it, I'll go for the eternal salvation. Let's do it. You know? It's like after going through

all this crazy shit in the haunted house. But what they fail to mention is the hell door behind there is some cupcakes that's right so you decide what you want everybody behind that door but that uh what's that movie called it's called hell house yeah when that movie came out some enterprising people out in los angeles put... They put the show up in L.A. They put that actual haunted house up, and I got to perform in it,

and it was really disturbing. Like, they've got one room that's like a school shooting. That's right. Like, oh, come on, bring the kids. They've been doing it here in New York. They were doing it here in New York for a couple years, too.

There was a theater company that was doing it. Yeah, yeah, that's a fantastic idea. I mean, that's what all haunted houses are, is just, like, people jumping out at you when you walk around the corner and telling you you're going to go to hell. Those are the basics. I saw Expendables 2 yesterday.

Kind of like Hell House. Or as I like to call it, still expendable bucket list protocol. Have you been to the movies lately, John Mulaney? Yeah, what did I see? I saw Celeste and Jesse Forever,

which is great. I saw Beast of the Southern Wild, which we talked about. I saw Dark Knight Rises, the is great. I saw Beast of the Southern Wild, which we talked about. I saw Dark Knight Rises, the new Batman. Yeah, we heard. That I saw it.

Of those three, I know those are three completely different kinds of movies, but of those three, which one was your favorite? Yeah, real Sophie's Choice. Yeah. Celeste and Jesse are big. I did not like Dark Knight Rises, so I was all for it.

I did not care for it at all. I will kill you if you don't like the movie. How dare you speak to me that way? That's good. Seriously, though, why doesn't he ever block his face if he has a mask on that if you break it, he won't be able to breathe? Yeah, he builds a mask that if you break one little valve...

You think he would defend himself a little bit more when fighting. So which one did you say was the best one? I'd go Beast or Celeste and Jesse. I did not care for Dark Knight Riders all that much. John also saw Sleepwalk with me. Oh, Sleepwalk with me was fantastic. But that was a while ago.

Sorry, I'm talking like the last week, Mike. No, no, I know what you meant. I saw Sleepwalk with me at South by Southwest and then ran into you, Mike, and said very confidently, you know, I really loved your movie. And that's a great feeling when that happens. Because if I hadn't loved it,

you know, it would have been uncomfortable. So thank you for not fucking it up and making me uncomfortable. Yeah, you for not fucking it up and making me uncomfortable. Yeah, you and Todd Berry and Brendan saw it. Yeah, yeah. I was really nervous, because it's scary when comedians see your movie, because it's about comedy.

You'd be nervous about opening yourself to Todd Berry and exposing your inner self. Well, he's not very judgmental, so it's, you know, I knew it would be fine. Everyone in this business worries what Brendan Walsh is going to think. But yeah, it was, you know, we all, I think they enjoyed it, as I said to you later, awkwardly. Yeah, I think those other guys enjoyed it.

But I definitely did, and go see it, you guys. Yeah. Thank you. Oh, I really want to see see it, you guys. Yeah. Thank you. Oh, I really want to see Hope Springs, for real. And no one, my girlfriend won't go. And she said, maybe my mom will go with you. And she asked her mom, and her mom said no. There's a Hope Springs.

No one will see. If anyone wants to see Hope Springs. There's a Hope Springs joke on this podcast two weeks ago that was brilliant. How did it go? It said... Wait, I was just listening to it today. I'd be the last one to remember. How was it?

It was from a Twitter person. They sent it in. Oh, yeah. I got it. I got it. I got it. A guy in the audience knew it, too. Hope Springs was filmed in WiMAX.

WiMAX? WiMAX? At Jerry Duggan wrote that. He's a talented comic book writer, person. That's what you sound like, sir. Not to the listeners, because they probably heard silence and then me going...

Because the audience isn't individually mic'd. Jon Hamm, have you been to the movies? Have. What'd you see? I saw a movie called The Intouchables, which was very good. It's a French movie, and apparently like the biggest...

Subtitles. Totally. Get out your reading glasses and your sleep mask. But it's very inspirational, that movie. Indeed. Did you see it? No, but you walk out of there just elated know, like, just elated. It's a triumph of the human spirit.

Imagine driving Miss Daisy. Okay. I know, I know, I've got Paul. No, no, no, I'm fine. Where is this going? All right. But if Miss Daisy was a quadriplegic. Well, that sounds good to me.

Well, then she'd clearly have to be driven. And French. And French. And French that's what it should mean. It clearly has to be driven. And French. And French. And French. All right. And male. Okay. And super wealthy.

This movie sounds hilarious. Oh, and if Morgan Freeman was black. And if Morgan Freeman was black. And young. And from like the French projects. And African. If the character was played by a man who's never been God or president,

then that's what you're going to see. But yeah, I do want to check that out. And Paul, have you been to the movies? Well, I saw Beasts of the Southern Wild. You said that. You said that before. Woo! Woo! Woo! Well, I saw Beasts of the Southern Wild. You said that. You said that before. Woo!

Woo! Woo! I have been to the movies recently. Did you see Beasts of the Southern Wild? I did see that one. Moonrise Kingdom. Which, by the way, sitting in the row in front of me, John Slattery from your show.

At the movie theater? He, of course, plays the buxom secretary on Mad Men. Has anyone seen Compliance yet? Yeah, I love that. anyone seen Compliance yet? Yeah, I love that.

I love Compliance. Is that movie disturbing? Yeah. Did you see it? No, but I love Craig Zobel. Yeah, Craig Zobel is great. He did this movie called Great World of Sound. I think that was his first film.

That's totally worth seeing if you haven't seen it. Compliance is one of my favorite movies this year. I thought it was incredible. Yeah, it is disturbing. In kind of a good way. Doug, have you left the show? Listen, I can't stick around because

I'm going to go do the spa that John Mulaney was going to run off to. So, Morgan Spurlock, we have one more. Or wait, Birbiglia, have you seen any movies lately? Did we already talk to you about that?

I saw Beast of Southern Wild. Mike, you know what you need to check out, though, is compliance. Right? Really. It's very disturbing, but in a good way. Last night I saw Ruby Sparks,

which I liked. What? Ruby Sparks, Zoe Kazan, Paul Dano. Oh, Ruby Sparks. Yeah, Ruby Sparks. Yeah, I want to see that. Saw Celeste and Jesse, saw I Way Way Never Sorry, which is what I said. Yeah. Just looking for recommendations

or pans I feel now that you're part of that community you can't insult other movies I just want to say I recommend all of Paul's movies I really thought they were great and I don't not recommend anything all of Paul's movies. I really thought they were great.

And I don't not recommend anything. I don't not recommend anything. I like a lot of movies. Good movies this summer. I should say, Doug, and I was a little bit not forthcoming when I brought my gift, which you didn't mention to anybody at the top of the show.

It's a Doug Loves Movies t-shirt that I signed. Yeah. I'll be dead honest with you. He signed it right on the heart. It's the shittiest gift I've ever given in like the fifth time I've done this podcast. Terrible gift. That said, as I said, I was a little not forthcoming. Mike was recommending Paul's wonderful movies.

I did bring a grab bag of Paul Rudd movies. Let's go through them and then everybody rank them on a scale. There's an idiot brother. Okay. There's a wanderlust. I think it's wanderlust. Wanderlust. There's an Ianderlust. I think it's Wanderlust.

There's an I love you man. It's I love you ma'am. And there's dinner for schmucks. You are always the title character in all of your films. Above the title character, by the way. An idiot and a schmuck. Does anybody hunger for games?

Now this part is going to be particularly fun tonight because Morgan's been on the show before, but the other three gentlemen have not and Jon Hamm of course is a master of these games. So a savant if you will. He doesn't claim to know anything

other than how to play this game. Or I should say the games because we'll play a quick one and then do you really want to go john are you going to stay did you 10 minutes did you uh push back your thing or uh cancel it i'm gonna push it back let's cancel it right now well i don't know i can't i can't quite cancel you can't cancel it but just tell him let me just tell him listen let me deal with this all right yeah he's

gonna he's gonna deal with it no no we want to take care of that first. John, who are the plans with? Just some, you know, I thought famous people, and then I showed up here, and I was like... They're a bunch of shit kickers. I got to... I'm running late. You were going to blow me off for some B-list shit. I got Taylor Negron and Todd Berry waiting at a restaurant in Midtown. You thought you were going to be sitting here with Pete Holmes. Not tonight, baby.

Todd and Taylor watching a candle burn down while I yuck it up with all the hot new talent. Alright, so you think you're working it out? I'll go when I need to go. But, no, I meant that in a friendly way.

Not in the horribly aggressive way it came out. I'll go when I need to go. I'm running late. Maybe 30 minutes? Sorry. Maybe 30 minutes? I'm asking you? What am I doing? I don't know.

I might be late. That's all this city is. It's just a series of texts about how much longer it's going to take for you to get to the next thing. Hi, babe. I live minute to minute.

Question mark? People who live here have another thing to go to always. Sorry I'm going to be late for going to sleep tonight, pillow. I'll make it up to you

tomorrow when I jerk off into you. Hey, pillow, still in midtown. Start without me. Midtown pillow. Hey, pillow, if not tonight, brunch tome, question mark? Are you available for brunch?

Is that what that means? What was that? Because I go to brunch. Would everyone like to go to brunch tomorrow? Oh, shit! Monday brunch, the tradition. No one has a job. Where should we go?

That sounds good. I'll see you guys there at 9 a.m. Midtown. On my way out of town. Let's play a game called How Much Did This Shit Make? Where we'll start down there with Morgan on the other end. And each of you gets to bid, without going over, how much you think, according to Box Office Mojo,

what the total domestic earnings were for Batman and Robin from 1997. Starring George Clooney, Chris O'Donnell, and Arnold... I almost called him Alfred. And as Alfred, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Would you like me to clean the living room? Ice to meet you. Not ice to meet you, that's right. He was the fucking Iceman and his all of his lines were mr freeze i mean dr freeze did he ever he he was 10 credits short of his doctorate he's still pretty bitter about it and he would rather you not bring it up in front of people

thanks a lot doug he tried really hard. He slept in. He missed his final. He feels as shitty as you do. Okay, Morgan, how much do you think that movie made domestically? Eight dollars. Without going over. Oh, without going over. Indeed, without going over.

See, that was before we knew better. So I'm going to say it was $90 million. Okay. We go to Mike Birbiglia. It was... I actually know this one it was mediocre dollars in unwatchable sense 75 million

75 million okay I'm going to say 75 million. 75? 75 million, sorry. Okay. Paul? I'm going to say... $210 million. Okay, so Paul's out. John Hamm? I have a feeling it made over $100 million,

so I'm going to say $101 million. 101. And then we leave it to John Mulaney. Okay. I know Bill and Ted made, like, 40. And I was like, that's the biggest movie ever. And I was in an argument, and I was like, that movie made, like, hundreds of millions of dollars. And the other person was like, that's the biggest movie ever. And I was in an argument, and I was like, that movie made like hundreds of millions of dollars,

and the other person was like, no. That's the only side they had to take. I'm going to go low. Yeah, $1. I'm going to go $65. $65. Okay, so we have Morgan said $90. Mike said $75. Paul said, we have Morgan said 90. Mike said 75.

Paul said... Well, Paul's out. John said... It didn't make $210 million? John said $101 million. I think it's Ham. John Mulaney said 65. And our winner, without going over,

is John Ham with $101 million. Wow. Was it $150? Because it made $107.3 million. Wow. Jon Hamm, you're going to the Showcase Showdown. That is... You might have won them both.

Wow. This has been a Mark Goodman, Bill Taubman production. Goodson, Bill Taubman. Mulaney, what are you texting? Yes, I will. So sorry. Oh my god. It's like, get here as soon as you can

for the delivery of your baby. My cleaning lady texted me. Oh, that's fine. That's okay. But you're working it out, though? We're working it out. Okay, good. So we'll have you stick around for the next game. No, I'm going to stay.

It's just how much I'm apologizing now. It's just about apologies. Yeah, just type, I've apologized for making a choice. Don't worry, I'll propose when I get home. I think what was funny about that... John Hamm just took a picture to incriminate you. The reason I did that is because we were invited to the same thing. I'm not bothering to make excuses,

but I am sending them a picture of him making an excuse. Wait a minute. Hold on. Wait. John, look. John and John. You're not making excuses. John and John, look this way. I have not been invited to this dinner, so I feel as an impartial judge, I should send this. This is

proof positive that both Johns are not... I just want to have a good photo To show my wife when I get home Is my show still happening? I'm so happy I'm staying Alright he's all set both of the bars are open let's do this

yeah it might take a while you guys because you know there's still enough time that I'm going to try to play two more games starting with build a title starting with Build-A-Title. People love it.

I don't know why. I don't know why they love it. Jon Hamm and Morgan Spurlock are probably the only people who've played this before. Jon's going to get to go first, and then we'll go to Paul from there. So stand by, Paul. All right.

And good luck. Build a title is where you take turns adding to a title. You take movies, known movies, and make the title longer. Like if we start with Godfather, you could go Oh, Godfather to add a title to the beginning or Godfather of thefather, to add a title to the beginning, or Godfather of the Bride, to add a title to the end. And it goes like that.

What's that in the audience? What the fuck are you trying to say? I thought so. But thank you for your help. I appreciate it even though I don't know what you were trying to do because I yelled at you so at poon underscore

drizzle three there are two other poon drizzles? There are... I'm two. There are two other poon underscore D-R-I-Z-Z-L-3. I'm six. It's a tough... It's a tough name to get.

What? That person That person Place or thing suggested As a starter title The Tom Cruise classic Days of Thunder So John You need to add something

That ends with days Or begins with thunder Strange Days of Thunder. Strange Days. I like it. Well done. End of Days would have been a way to go. So now...

It's just an option. You're doing it wrong, Doug. Just an option. Some of Fiennes' finest. Just what I had written down. Strange Days. So we go to Paul Rudd and he has to have a movie that ends in strange or begins

with thunder. Or der. Geez. Strange Days of Thunder. Alright. Thunder. Thunder. Can I mix in Thunderdome?

Or are we beyond Thunderdome? That wouldn't work. That wouldn't work. That would not work. Okay, string. It's just got to be thunder something. All right.

Can't be thunder, comma, tropic. Can't do that? No. Also, please don't yell out in the audience. Don't yell out Thunderbird.

Country Strange Days of Thunder. Country Strange. Country Strange? Yep. So confident and so wrong. No, that's what it is. Okay, so Paul's out for this round. We go to Mike.

Can you think of any movie that ends in strange or begins with thunder? Strange Days of Thunder African Skies. Oh, shit. Oh, you could doies. Oh, shit! Oh, you could do that? Oh, that's clever. That's great. It's a new Paul Simon film under African Skies.

Thunder the Rainbow? I didn't realize you could break it up, huh? Oh, you didn't realize the game had rules? I'll sit this one out I'm going to sit this one out Just for now, you'll be back in Okay, so we have Strange Days of Thunder

African Skies So Strange Days Okay, so Strange Days of Thunder African Skies Strange Strange Strange Days of Thunder, African Skies. Uh-huh. Strange Days of Thunder Under African Skies Wide Shut.

Oh, nice. Wow, isn't that good? Skies Wide Shut. Oh, I know what I would do with Shut. But we're going to John Mulaney. Okay. Shut. Oh, I know what I would do is shut. But we're going to John Mulaney. Okay. So you need something that ends in strange.

Okay, I have strange. Days of thunder. African skies wide. Shut up, little man. There's a movie called Shut Up, Little Man? It's a documentary. It's a documentary. It's a documentary, everybody. Give it up for documentaries.

Up in the second booth. And then I was saved by documentaries. Okay, I would have gone Shutter Island, but that's cool. Oh, that's the wrong answer. Shut up, little man. I'm crazy like that. Jon Hamm, what do you think of that? Ends in strange or begins with man?

Strange days of thunder, African skies, wide shut up, little man of the house. Paul, you're out. Damn it! I've got one! You'll be back in the next round. Mike? Strange days of thunder African skies wide

shut up little man of the house party two. Only give it up for the deuce! Now, audience, back me up on this. House Party 2 had no extra title. It didn't have a subtitle, right?

It was not called Ghost Protocol, sir. Alright, so now we're back to Morgan with You Need Something Ends in Strange or Begins with Two. Strange Days stranger begins with two. Strange days of thunder, African skies, wide shut up man of the house party,

too big to fail. Too big to fail. Another great documentary. Did that have more of a title beyond too big to fail? Like the story of blah blah and bleep bleep? But I like it, I like where you're going with that I'm going to look that up really quick

Because I think it has more words to it Too Big to Fail was an HBO thing? It's not a movie. It's HBO. Okay, you're out. But it was a movie on HBO. Yeah, but you're out. HBO documentaries?

That was actually a scripted film. Okay. Still doesn't count. No, I think it should count. I have the DVD. Okay,ed film. Okay. Still doesn't count. No, I think it should count. I have the DVD. Okay, it counts. Okay. I thought he was going to say, you're out too.

No, you're out. Oh, you bought that shit? You're out too. Alright, John Mulaney, what are you going to do with that? So we're going off fail? Fail. We're going with fail. Okay. Strange Days of Thunder, African Skies Wide Shut Up, Little Man of the House Party, Too Big to Failure to Launch.

Obviously. Which is a documentary about two people on a movie poster in linen clothing leaning against each other. Jon Hamm, you still in this? Apparently. Okay. What do you think?

Ends in strange? Nobody's really jumping at that one? Or begins with launch? People are strange. Days of thunder, African skies wide. Shut up little man of the house party. Too big to failure to launch. What's People are Strange?

Is that a Doors documentary? I don't know. Sounds like a movie. Jon Hamm is holding his microphone like Eminem, by the way. I've just lost myself in the music, the moment. There's no movie called People Are Strange. Google it. I may be wrong.

I think you definitely are wrong. There's a lady who's illuminating it. She's looking it up. There's no movie called People Are Strange Who starred in it, John? Those guys Okay, you're out That one time Mike, do you have anything?

Is his count? Oh, sorry, Paul's out Wait, I don't understand You're not going to count, John? He seems confident. People are strange? I heard that. Wasn't that the theme song?

I heard that. John's characters in movies and television are smart, so I can only assume he is smart. He was kind of dumb in Bridesmaids. 30 Rock. 30 Rock. Very dumb. 30 Rock. 30 Rock. Very dumb. Very dumb on 30 Rock. Good call, sir.

This audience is in whether we like it or not. What's the ending then? What's the... The ending is launch. Oh. It doesn't count. There's no... It's not a movie.

It does not count? What? No on... Not a movie. No on... Not a movie. People are strange? Not a movie.

Yeah, people are strange is no way. No way. No way I'm falling for that shit. He's on IMDb right now, playing the rest of this in protest. Yeah, no, it might be a movie, but you have to... As the player, you have to know what the movie is. Well, then I'm definitely out. Okay, so Strange, and then what's the last one?

Launch. Launch. Yeah, I can't. I'm not coming up with anything. I pass. There's a place to eat at Disneyland called the Launching Pad, but that won't work.

Because that's a place to eat at Disneyland. It's just not a good word to start a movie title with. Unless it was the title of the movie. Who added failure to launch? Who did that? Who was in it? Who was it?

No, who's the one that added it? I added that. Okay, so yeah, you might be our winner. Because Morgan, do you have anything to add? Maybe. Oh. What do you got? Has to end in strange or begin with a launch.

Okay. Hold on two seconds. Okay. Everybody hold on. I'm going to go with... While we wait, he's going to make another movie. I'm going to go with Strange Days of Thunder. African skies wide shut up.

Little man house. Little man of the house party. Too big to fail. Too big to fail your two-launch shitty, shitty bang bang. He just threw down the mic like Chris Rock. That's fun, but that doesn't count. No. Boo. You guys are awesome. So John Mulaney's our winner.

Thank you, but I like Morgan's too. But that was a great try. You really do it out there. I win the DVD and my album and stuff. Yeah, you win all the stuff everybody brought. Congratulations. Yeah, you win all the stuff everybody brought.

Congratulations. No, you just win the opportunity to go first in the Leonard Maltin game. Which we will play right now after everyone selects a name tag from the audience of who you would like to play for. There's a fucking Spuds

Mackenzie doll in the audience. There's a fucking Spuds McKenzie doll in the audience. There's a girl with a flask. I see a bear. Don't forget the balcony area. There's some good ones up there. What do you think? Oh, Morgan's got one?

There's a lady with a flashlight up in the balcony. Wow, is Paul really all the way up there? Wow, he really went up into the balcony. Paul Rudd, everybody. The lady in the balcony has like a there's something going on in the backyard size flashlight. Does this have a name? It washed off? It's got a big flashlight up there.

Thanks for bringing it. I'm going to take the monkey. Oh. John Mulaney's picking a stuffed bear. A guy gave me a pack of cigarettes, but it didn't have anything on it. I mean, a monkey. I meant bear. You don't have to bring it to me, but...

Yeah, you hold on to it. Oh, this is kind of fun. Somebody that Paul picked took a bunch of Hello, my name is name tags and stuck them on a piece of paper until it spells what? What does it spell? A Reese. A Reese? There's a person named A Reese?

I have Syrah. Oh, you mixed them all up. You totally fucked it up, Paul. I'm sorry. Aries. Okay, so Paul's playing for Aries. Who are you playing for, Mike Birbiglia? Ambers.

Ambers. There's a plural of amber, I guess. What's the... Can you describe her name tag? Heather. Oh, it's the movie Heathers. It's the movie Heathers. And she changed it to Ambers.

Yeah. Because not unlike Heathers, that's a fucking stupid girl name. Stupid girl name. All girls named Amber are stupid. No offense, Ambers who are listening, of which there's probably not many.

The Heathers DVD, which is what this is on, said the quote is, without Heathers, there would be no Jawbreaker, no Mean Girls, and certainly no Juno. I especially love it's the 20th high school reunion edition yeah

where would we be without Jawbreaker thank god I love this gay DVD I love this who are you playing for Morgan I'm playing for Chloe and Chloe gave me a spectacular picture of Terry Hulk Hogan.

It says American Made on it. Yeah, brother. I'm playing for you, Chloe. But her name is Terry? Her name is... It's her middle name. Her middle name's Terry. Who are you playing for again, Mike? I forgot already. Amber. Amber. Amber. Amber. Her middle name's Terry Who are you playing for again, Mike? I forgot already Amber Amber And John Hamm, who are you playing for?

I'm playing for Lori And it's her birthday Oh, no one Happy birthday, Lori It's not true, I know Lori And it's not her birthday Alright, birthday Lori And John Mulaney, who are you playing for?

I am playing for the AIDS monkey. I am playing... That's the AIDS monkey? This is the AIDS monkey. That is ground zero? He just winked at me. This is patient negative one. That French-Canadian flight attendant.

Yeah, I didn't mean ground zero. I meant patient zero. I know, I didn't even... Yeah, I just moved past it. What are the odds that someone at ground zero would also be the first AIDS patient? That would be horrible. Very low.

So horrible. Very low. And what's the monkey's name? This is for Alexis. Alexis, okay. Alexis brought a monkey. All right, so that's who everybody's playing for. And who just won Build-A-Title?

I think it was John Mulaney. Yeah, Mulaney. All right. So we'll start with you on Leonard Maltin, and we'll go to Morgan from you, and then Mike and Paul and John. And you get to pick a category from three potential categories. Would you like either At Dragon for Lunch suggested Baby It's Cold Inside.

And that's movies where someone is inside a refrigerator for some reason or celebrating a birthday today Matthew Perry so the films of the great Matthew Perry Paul worked with him

yes and the third category is suggested by at Wilbur the Cat. Willem the Foe. Willem the Foe. That's movies where

Willem Dafoe plays a bad guy. As opposed to when he plays a wacky neighbor that comes by. Sometimes he's a wacky neighbor. Sometimes he's a guy in a bad guy. As opposed to when he plays a wacky neighbor that comes by. Sometimes he's a wacky neighbor, sometimes he's a guy in a red hat. Just that one time in Steve's Izzy. I'll go Willem Dafoe.

Okay, Willem Dafoe. This Willem Dafoe movie is from 1984. Yeah, early in the Willem Dafoe canon. Three stars from Leonard Maltin. He says about this movie that it is stunningly photographed. That's never a good sign. And he also says, unfortunately...

It was a movie. Unfortunately, we're left with this story which can't carry the film to a really satisfying conclusion. And he lists... 17 names. How many names do you think you can get it in, John Mulaney? Oh. Out of 17. You're going from bottom to you can get it in, John Mulaney? Oh. Out of 17. You're going from bottom to top. Bottom to top, yeah.

Just like a great massage. No dick skipping. Can I do 17? Yeah, you can open with 17 names. Is that a good strategy? Super smart strategy Because if you hear all of these names

I bet you might know what it is How does that affect future play? Well then Morgan has to decide whether to bid 16 or lower Or come after you Alright, this is my first time playing So I'm going to go 17

I'm going to go 17. I'm going to see what happens. Everybody agrees with you. Morgan? I'll go seven. Seven? He knocked off ten names. I'm no math whiz.

Mike? I'm no math whiz Mike What advantage is there To me saying more than Morgan Just said Or less Yeah You could just tell him name it Okay six I just said it cause

John looked at me and said Six He seems smart in his characters in television and film. Except 30 Rock. Especially the town. I thought your character in the town

was very cunning. And he was on it. Like he knew when no one knew. Right. That's why they totally didn't get away at the end. No, no, he got away. Right, because John blew it. John's character whiffed it. But John's character knew why he got away.

Oh, is that good in the end of the future? I don't know why someone got away. They got away because the guy that wrote the script directed the movie. They got away because the guy that wrote the script directed the movie. And like, if you'd had the megaphone... If you'd had the megaphone... Exactly. Six. Got away.

He says six, Paul. So you can tell Mike to name that movie. Uh-huh. Or you can bid even less names. So I gotta bid less names or then he gets the movie and then I'm out first again? No, no. No, if you ask him, if you ask Mike Birbiglia

to name it and he fails, which is a possibility, Then I get a point. Then you will get a point. But if he gets it, then he will get the point. And then what happens?

And you will be not, you won't be penalized, but he'll be one more point closer to winning than you. I see. And then if you don't get it, is he out? There's no out. It's just points. Nobody's ever out.

I'll do him five. Hey, Paul. Yes. John has something he wants to say to Paul Rudd. Yeah, I think I know what it's going to be. Hey, Paul, name that movie. I knew it. John can't leave here tonight not the winner.

So now... Yeah, he's gonna do whatever it takes. Right. Okay. Even a cheating scumbag move like playing the game as it's supposed to be played. So I'm gonna read you... That was probably pretty stupid of my part. I'm going to read you five names

from the cast of this movie. Did you say the year or you didn't? I might have. 1984. Three stars from Leonard Moulton. That's usually not very helpful because he has his own taste, but it's stunningly photographed.

Can I try it with no names? Well, yeah, but I mean, I think hearing the names might... Everyone in the audience, they're all like, no, don't do that. They honestly were like, don't. Hearing the names might help, so you might as well.

You get five of them, and one of them is a band. And one of them is Willem Dafoe. Well, that's a sixth name because he's not in the bottom five. He is the bad guy in this movie. And the names are The Blasters, Matthew Lawrence, Olivia Brown, Ed Begley Jr. Yeah, and Maureen Jahan, who of course is famous for being Jennifer Beals' dancing double in Flashdance.

I've said too much. What do you think it is, Paul? Is it Streets of Fire? Now, are you saying that because that's your guess, or that's something somebody in the audience said that you heard? No, that was the only one I could think of. That is correct. Because I heard someone say it.

I heard someone say it, So please don't say it. Honestly, I was going to say it with no names. And none of those names helped. Yeah, those are very, very not helpful names. All right. But Paul Rudd is on the board. He has a point. It's just a point?

Just one point for that? All right. He's vindicated. I want to go back to when Paul first saw that film. I want to hear about the experience that stuck that in your brain. Actually, I never saw it. I just remember the previews on HBO. Was Michael Biehn in that?

Where has Michael Biehn? He's been everywhere. What movie? No, it's the guy... Michael Perret. Michael Perret. And Diane Lane. And, yeah.

And it's... Well, it's, you know, directed by... What's his name? Walter Hill. And it's not a bad movie. Yeah. Okay, so... I hear it's beautifully photographed.

Oh. Fucking stunningly. Stunningly photographed. I just want to say for the record, for people listening and not watching, that was, Paul getting that right was more excited than I've ever seen him in any movie. I was so excited.

Totally excited. If people want the picture at home. I'll be honest, I'm exhausted now. Winning is fun. Okay, so since John challenged Paul, we'll start with John Mulaney. John Hamm challenged Paul.

We'll start with John Mulaney and then go towards John Hamm. And you get to pick a category, John. Of the same three? No. New categories. It's like a game show, but if I was in charge. and you get to pick a category, John. Of the same three? No. Oh. New categories. Oh, thank you. Yeah. It's like a game show,

but if I was in charge. So it's not perfect, but it does have its own set of rules. The King of Pancakes category is one of your options. That's a movie that was number one at the box office 10 years ago to this very day. The's a movie that was number one at the box office ten years ago to this very day.

The number one movie at the North American box office ten years ago. Or, Fragrant Bleach suggested a category called Top Build, which is a movie that was mentioned in an earlier game tonight

on the show. Yeah. People are like, easy. Know it. Or, at Rieh, R-E-E-H underscore 24 suggested Hunger Games, and that's

movies that have an eating contest in them. So would you like an eating contest, a movie that was mentioned earlier tonight, or the number one movie 10 years ago? Eating contest. Eating contest. There was an eating contest in this movie from 1986.

Leonard Maltin gives it three stars. He calls it affectionate. And he also says only complaint the high volume of four letter words. Ooh. Yes. Leonard prefers six and eight letter words.

And he lists eight names. How many names do you think you can get it in? John Mulaney? Two. Two names! Strong opening bid. We go to John Hamm.

What does he have to say? Zero. Zero names. Yeah. That is a serious fucking player. Paul Rudd, you can either say, name that movie, or you can go into negative names. And that's where you, if you say negative one name, that means you can name the top build actor

in addition to naming the movie. Two names, top two build. Has to be in order? In the right order, yeah. So how deep do you think you can go? People on this panel seem to know what the movie is. But do they know the billing of the actors in this movie? I'll go negative one.

Wow. First time player grasping negative one and running with it. He's not confused, or maybe he is. What do you think of that, Mike? Paul Rudd, you name that. Oh, okay. So Paul needs to name the motion picture. Is it Stand By Me? That is correct.

Saddle, saddle. Who was the top-billed performer in the motion picture Stand By Me? Was it Will Wheaton? That is correct! Paul Rudd wins the entire game. Paul Rudd is our winner.

He fucking took it down to Chinatown. People are on their feet and by people I mean one really big guy. They don't put him in every movie for nothing. them in every movie for nothing.

Yeah, you really pay attention on the set. Because you're in every movie. I think I was billed like fourth. Very well done. Right past Jerry O'Connell. Don't show off. So where is the person you were playing for?

The mixed up name? Anus. Anus? Where is Ares at? Where is Ares at? Come get your prizes. You win all this stuff. It's coming down from the very...

This is like the Golden Globes when somebody from TV wins something. There you go. Congratulations, Aries. Congratulations.

All right, so the people that also participated, please come up and write down some shitheads here.

Oh, there's a shithead on the back of that one? Okay, good. But if you didn't write it on the back, come right to here and fill it out. Really? That's a weird one. And you don't need one, Paul, because you won. They get the satisfaction of having one.
