Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see. Cause Doug loves movies. Hello? Did I just lose? Yeah, you lost the, well, you won the Pete Holmes game, which is the first person to speak to

without being asked to speak. But was that one of those, you all heard the theme song? Yeah. Yeah, every once in a while, and we haven't been able to song? Yeah. Yeah. Every once in a while. And we haven't been able to put our finger on it. Every once in a while. I don't hear the theme song on my end.

So it's just go silent for a while. Around the time I start to think, oh, it's to say, hey, is there a problem? That's when I spoke this time and the song it ended for all of you. And then I came in so awkwardly. I say we I say we Sally Forrest and just drive on. We drive on, man. Yeah. Ride, Sally, ride.

Hey, hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies. It's Thursday, June 30th, 2022. And you've already sort of heard from my guests. They are Rena Calm. Hi. Frank Castillo and Patton Oswalt.

Hello. Hello. I took too long of a breath after Rena. That's why you just said hi. Dead air. I took too long of a breath after Rena. That's why you. I was going to fly through all of them. Like we're, like we're in front of a live audience and then you all come out and the place goes nuts. Standing ovation. Probably. This is good. It's cinematic. There's tension. There's pausing, you know,

it's nice. Oh my God. You're right. There's a, it's like a, there's a taut little thriller we're in right now. Yeah. Oh yeah. Every episode is a, is a thriller because, uh, you know, it's a game show and I, I write everything down with pen on, on a, you know, a piece of paper. Oh yeah. Edge of my seat. And so a lot of, a lot of things go wrong.

I get the wrong sound effects sometimes. Like, you know, if you get a right answer, I might actually accidentally go. And that's not that doesn't sound like the right answer. Doesn't sound like the right answer to me. No. Yeah. So I get everything all messed up, but we get through it. Much like, you know, if you're playing, having game night and someone someone's running the game, they can't always be perfect.

But let's meet all of my guests individually and alphabetically. Starting with she made her Douglas movies debut in Rosemont, Illinois at Zanies. And now

finally because of the demand has been insane. Hello. She is back. It's Rina Calm. Hello Rina. Oh hi. Well it's so great to be with you guys today in the internet. Yeah where is your physical form? Where are you actually at? Parts Unknown is my official address. But right now I'm in Springfield, Illinois. I keep moving and I had a little album release show here last night in Springfield. My album comes out tomorrow. So very exciting. And yeah, I'm just kind of enjoying all there is to see in Springfield, which is mostly my friend's basement. Yeah. All right. Well, this is, you know, this gets released at midnight tonight.

So tomorrow will be when people are listening to this. So, you know, from Friday, July 1st onward, get Rena's new album. Yes, yes please do i'm very proud of it it's called calmity my last name calm you guys get it it's an easy pun um right but yeah that's the rough to have to share in a audio format yeah uh because the word calm people don't say the L that they really, you know, uh, in speaking it, uh, the L is, uh, is a trick, tricky business. Yeah. I'm definitely, yeah. You have to really push for that L I, I don't mind how people pronounce it. I just have a problem having to spell out my last name when I'm dealing with like customer service. Cause that's never usually a very pleasant situation and they get a good chuckle just out of my name. Cause it's usually the opposite of how I'm acting with like customer service. Cause that's never usually a very pleasant situation and they get a good chuckle just out of my name.

Cause it's usually the opposite of how I'm acting. Right. I try, I try really hard, but yeah, yeah. I deserve to use it as a pun for my album title after this life of dealing with it.

Absolutely. No, it said it really it's part of your social media handles as well. Yes. Yes. Rina Calm on everything. And yeah, I was gifted with a very unique name. So, you know, my branch out. I have a whole other show about names that we really, you know, dig into it, but just it's called Wide World of Dogs. But just briefly, is there a lot is Calm a last name other people have or did your family kind of invent it? Well, OK, it's definitely people in my family have this name. There are not there are not a lot of us. I feel like they're Rina is in my family.

It's a Hebrew name and Rina is also Hindu. So there's like a lot of Indian and Jewish Rinas. And I've stumbled on some Rina calm internet stuff, but it's usually like an Indian lady doing like meditation or something. it's usually like an indian lady doing like meditation or something uh it's usually like that's why that's how i'm that's what i was wondering is just about the last name calm like is that i've never heard that anybody else have that last name is that is that been your experience yeah i think that the story with us was that it was like one of those like little holocaust bloopers uh where they came over on the boat you know how it is uh i don't know i think my uh grandpa he was on a boat

on his way over from germany like when the u.s went to war with germany and he was like gonna take rat poison if they turned the boat around and so who knows his state of mind when he got off the boat, but they could have just made that up at Ellis Island. And he was like, maybe he had a shady past, but we've had a hard time connecting it to anything. Yeah. Well, that's yeah, that's the great thing about it is you don't have a lot of other people run around around with your last name you know because in show business it's nice to you know stand out and also not have the last name of somebody you know did something horrible right right you know what i mean yeah so maybe in my actual family somebody did do something horrible and that's why they hid with this last name but either way this one's

clean so yeah i'm happy with it you should think up though you should make up a long version of what the name used to form formerly be you know yeah i'm a hot calmodity yeah like some some sort of uh italian sounding name or something um yes speaking of namesina, our next guest also has a name. He is our ongoing champion. Currently, he won on the last show

so he's back today. It's Frank Castillo. Hello, Frank. Hello, Doug. Are you missing Bakersfield as much as I am? Oh, man. Bakersfield stole my heart. We really had a lovely time in Bakersfield.

You know, one of the more lovelier times that I've been in Bakersfield. Yeah. Well, I've rarely been to Bakersfield. And our next comedian, our next guest been to Bakersfield and our next comedian, our next guest owns Bakersfield. Or is it just which part of the California do you own, Patton? I own it's weird. I own the eastern part of the central desert. So Bakersfield was able to wriggle out of that. There's some zoning stuff.

So I've got Lompoc. I've got, Oh God, what's the one? I have everything North of Bakersfield and just South of the big cattle ranch, that big one on five that everyone calls it Cowschwitz, the horrible. Oh wow. Oh gosh. Yeah. That's, that's the nickname for it because you drive by it horrifying and you know so look i that i'm just that's the locals i gotta get in with the locals man i gotta you know when you're up there you don't want to be putting on air so i gotta speak their language man i don't i don't agree with it

i think it's horrible but hey you know when you're a landowner, you make concessions. That's what you do. I wonder if they have a cast your bloopers. Yeah, right? I just shaved my head. Wasn't that a video? Didn't that video come out in the 80s with Tim Conway on it? Was that what that cast your bloopers?

Mostly people just stepping in cow pies it's real dark real dark and they just kill the cow yeah mind gotten him you do have to well hi doug benson thanks for having me back thanks for being back and uh did you uh did you just get back from or how or just now have to go to some other city i just got back from wichita kansas and next week i have to go to montclair new jersey so that's my travel's crazy right now. Yeah. You mean you have to go to meaning, you know, that it's it's a long ways away, not that you don't want to go there. Oh, no, no. I want to go there. It's not for comedy. It's a it's another zoning thing.

The land that I own in the Central Valley, we have the property office is in Montclair. So I have to go there. And Montclair is lovely. I'm happy that it's there, but I got to fly across country and just look at some plat books and make sure that, you know, everything's on the up and up. I don't know why they don't keep it in Lompoc, but it's in some kind of security thing. Yeah. And I, you know, I heard that they don't have Zoom in New Jersey, so you can't do it. You have to be there.

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Yeah. Thanks. Thanks, local commissioner. have zoom in new jersey so you can't do it now have to be there yeah exactly exactly yeah thanks thanks uh local commissioner you know it just it really hurts it really hurts the small business man you know i'm just yeah he outlawed it because he does all of his business meetings with no pants yes i mean god damn it i'm just trying to grow my almonds, and I gotta go out to Montclair. It's ridiculous. Well, thank you for being here, Pat. That's a crazy schedule you have. That Wichita

was fun. That crowd was fun, weren't they? Wichita was great. I was in Lincoln, Nebraska, and then Wichita, Kansas,ichita i was in lincoln nebraska and then wichita kansas and they were both fantastic right they were so much fun yeah i i loved wichita and i and i love lincoln nebraska was cool yeah it doesn't feel like it should be but then it is it's great you go to these little so-called oh you're in kansas a good luck and then you have some of the best sets of your life out there it It's great.

Oh, they love it. Lincoln is a super cool comedy city. They have really cool independent shows. Yes, they do. Yeah. I didn't Zoolarius a few times on Sundays there. That's like such a great community that comes out for that. And yeah, you just say stuff that you're like, oh, Lincoln is super down to just I think they appreciate it more than some of the places where you know in a liberal place they kind of take for granted certain material has less special wichita oh exactly yeah wichita is fun but i've literally never had a normal

time in wichita like what do you mean by normal to like bet you had a bad time on stage or like the time walking around was weird well um i've always been there when it's like really hot and the condo at the club there doesn't have windows so i usually don't even walk around much but wait wait wait it doesn't have windows there's not a single window i mean it's wait wait what is what are you in a dungeon what does the building look like it's just behind the club it's like in the same building as the the loony bin i don't know what's going on with any of the loony bins now i've never really worked for them but i've done some like sunday shows at the wichita location

and you slept in the apparently you slept in the conference room behind the loony bin that's where they have a whole they have like a whole apartment back there, but it's, yeah, it's a very strange format for an apartment. That's weird. God, that's weird. But what's weird there. That's fine. Okay. I'm sleeping indoors.

There's electricity running water. Cool. No problem. You know, I can have a nice depression hibernation for a couple of days. That's actually perfect for my schedule. But then when it comes to like the audience there, I have like a great time on stage, but then there's always just like one person that's super unhinged, like wasted to the point of being a problem, like a regular though. It's not like, Oh, we got to kick that person out. It's like, Oh, it's them.

That's what they do here. You know, we got to kick out Jeff. Yeah. It's like, that's their thing. We just allow it. I was at the, I was at the improv two nights ago and I was, there was a drunk lady that I was doing crowd work with. And so, and she said her name and I went, okay, well, here we go. Like we're going to start talking. She's like, yeah, here we go. She was all excited and got up and sort of walked her to the stage. And then security had to like get her. She goes, he said, here we go.

He said to come up and they're like, no, no, no. He said, we're about to start talking to you. Like, oh just it was like dealing with a giant toddler yeah he was like a 54 year old woman yeah that's the brand yeah that's yeah that's spot on wichita you said come up on stage he said here we go yeah i'll do it i can even i can even hear the tone that you said, here we go. Like, all right, we're going to talk to this lady. Like, it's not an encouraging, here we go. And I wasn't giving her a wave, like, okay, here we go. Here we go.

Get up. I was just like, oh, here we go. Because she was just, she just started yammering at me about something. I said, okay, well, here we go. Like, I'm going to talk to her. She's like, all righty, here we go. Oh, it was delightful. Did they throw her all the way out or just back to her no they made her sit down but

they had to keep going back to make her sit she kept getting up again like a little time like sit here mommy's gonna fold some laundry and then gonna get to that no no no no no sit down then it keeps getting up nothing that's what it this show fun than like the idea of like a restrained audience member, you know, just like strap her down. We got jokes to do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, go back to your material. The whole while the audience is like, I can't wait for this bitch to talk again. Yeah. Yeah. If you talk again, we're going to get the tape out.

We will tape it shut lady. Yeah. i'm sure you've all dealt with the uh oh i'm dealing with a giant five-year-old right now it's a five-year-old mentality a week before with actual five-year-olds sometimes a week before the uh the big uh slap uh i had a drunk lady come on stage while i was doing stand-up oh jesus what did she did you go ahead go ahead oh i'm just asking was she getting physical or she just wanted to come up on stage and be part of the show it was this was it was a very it was a very interesting day it was like one of my aunts like if one of my aunts watched me do stand-up and had like you know things to complain about my act like it was it was like getting heckled by my

aunt and then she like got up on stage and it was very much like uh she was also mexican but it was very much like a oh mi hijo no like kind of he was like what are you doing me like stop stop and like trying to take me off stage like it was no really it was like a what are you doing? I'm like, stop, stop. And like trying to take me off stage. Like it was. Oh, really? It was like a parent trying to like, like, no, you're doing something bad. You can't tell these things in front of these people. It was so she thought she was helping you. She was trying to help your career out. Oh, that's so sweet.

So it wasn't like a bad. It was it was just like a protective. It was so funny. That is hilarious. We're just here for you. Yeah. And their husband had went to go get drinks so as he's walking back in he was just like wait what are we doing and then security

guard's like yeah we're dead we gotta kick her out now hang on reena you talked about something about when you when you get off stage there's always the one person are they just drunk and yammering are they like i got a bone to pick with you. They have something they want to argue with you about or what is it? Oh, I mean, and when I'm saying this, I'm imagining like two different women that I've met there. They're usually sexually harassing me. Whoa. What? I mean, like, and it's not just me.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, it happens. I mean, they weren't just hitting on me like this one lady was just but it's like it's weird to talk about somebody sexually harassing you while they're also like holding the mentality of like a toddler level of drunk you know so it's like you're getting hit on by a five-year-old but they're they look like shit you know uh you're you're pretty let's get married like it's that gorgeous what half my yogurt yeah i just i don't know i have a lot of people like aggressively trying to get me to like

come out with them after the show when i'm like at my merch table and stuff like that and i don't really drink so i don't have like a i don't know i feel like i can talk for like an hour make people like me enough to want to buy my merch but then I can really ruin it in five minutes off stage. I'm not like the type to do crowd work much, but like talking about crazy audiences I had, like I did a casino during COVID in Oregon. It was on the coast of Oregon. It was like the day that they announced that Biden won.

And I don't know if you can imagine the crowd at a covid casino was not really on board with that it was also uh was it a it was a native american casino right um i believe so um they are all native american but like the board that runs that are all like those kind of people right it was i didn't see any native americans in there it was definitely a lot of drunk. I had to be clean. Also, I don't do a lot of crowd work and I did like a full hour of just crowd control. Like, I don't think I finished a single joke and one table. It was like a group activity of ruining the night. And I had to do two shows and they stayed for the next show.

It was a nightmare. I don't. nightmare. Whoa! That's the worst. Yeah, I couldn't believe it. I think at one point I just said out loud during my set I have mental health problems. Just to tell myself while I was there it's like nothing's happening that's good here. Giving yourself a hug.

Yeah, yeah. Well, let's take a break from this comedy talk and talk about movies a little bit. Let's try to wedge some movie talking. Let's do it. Why not? Movie podcast. And every episode

lately, I like to ask my guests to recommend one movie. We'll start with Rina. Okay. Please recommend a film. I know that everybody's been recommending it. The everywhere, every everything,

everywhere all at once is the best movie I've seen in my life, but it comes up a lot and it's a, it's a solid pick. Like the fact that it keeps coming up, like the fact that you're saying it right now is not a, it's not a bad thing. Don't feel like, Oh,

everybody's saying this. There's still people out there that have not seen this movie or haven't, you know, been convinced that they're, that they're going to love it. You know, they don't hype. So I don't mind that being your choice today. Well, I appreciate that. I don't go to the movies a ton and somebody had told me just to go see that without even seeing a preview or anything. So I went in blind and yeah, I mean, I've been twice now and i think it was like more intense to watch the second time

even you know uh i can't recommend that one enough everybody should see it it should be like mandatory emotional training wow all right well that's it's official uh everybody should see it. Frank, what do you got for us this time? Oh, man. So I've been on the kick of watching bad movies. Love it. And there's a movie Ridley Scott put out, I think it was

in, ah, God, 2014. It was Exodus, Gods and Kings. Oh, Christian Bale. Yeah, it's about Moses and in Egypt, God does it. I swear to God, the cast is Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton. It's all white people. It's all white.

It is. It's hysterical. If I'm going to watch a movie about the Jews in Egypt, it better be starring somebody named Christian. That's all I can say. It was great. My wife's not very religious, so she walked in on me watching it, and she was just like, what the fuck is going on? She had a panic attack.

She was like, is there trouble in the marriage? Do you want to talk to me? Or is this, do you want to finish this? You want to talk to me or is this finish this? He's like, are you converting? This isn't a competition, but, you know, I don't feel like you're trying, Frank, because there's no way anyone would say they liked your choice better than everything everywhere all at once. everything everywhere all at once. But I'm glad that you're pointing out to people how fun and funny that movie is to watch and just think about

that all these grown men got together and did that. Yeah. It's just, I don't, anybody making an epic Bible movie now, I'm just like, really? You want to get into those get-ups and do that play acting about that? That's the story we need to retell? Yeah, it just, it all just seems like, why

is it, why is this happening? They don't even show Spider-Man getting bit by the spider anymore. They just get right into it. You don't need to do all this shit get to it man i will say though whoever deserves credit for this or blame that i really never knew the story of jesus until i saw the passion of the christ and that was in my 20s like i just wow yeah well that yeah that must have been an interesting movie for you to actually be learning something. But for for everybody else is just drudgery.

Right. Oh, it seems like a miserable trauma to keep reliving. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I don't recommend it. Yeah. Also, I keep getting confused in my head. I was thinking of Last Temptation of Christ, which is torture in a different sort of way. I mean, it's just, I don't like any, I don't think there's any movies about the Bible or Bible characters that I really love or even

like. I like the Jesus Christ Superstar. We used to play that at Hollywood Video. That's good. Yeah, that's fun. There's a movie by Kevin Reynolds called Risen that's actually pretty good. It's like a, it's the days after the resurrection and this Roman soldier

has to try to go find Jesus and to prove that he died because they don't want him creating a cult, basically. And it's actually really, really well made. It's called Risen. It's good. Yeah, that sounds... I mean, I love Kevin Reynolds. Yeah. There's a book that I wish they made into a movie.

I can't remember what the... I'm so bum movie. I can't remember. I'm going to so bummed before I can't remember what it's called, but it's about Jesus and his best friend in the time between that he went missing, right? Because from like 13 to like 20, whatever. That's right. Yeah, so it's just him filling in all those stories and you find out like Jesus

just traveled the world and like met other gods. Wow. Yeah. Okay. I'd watch that maybe and he just yeah it's pretty hilarious like a jesus multiverse there you go hey the jesus verse yeah do you want do you want your movie to be uh risen pat and you want that to be your recommendation no i mean you should watch risen. I think it's really well made. I was going to recommend something else,

but that's a bonus recommendation then. So what have you got? What have you got for your sincere, uh, go watch it right now. Well, this is my sincere recommendation, but there's a massive asterisk on it because this is a really,

really well-made film that I, that I actually, part of me thinks maybe this shouldn't have been made. It's streaming right now on shutter. It's a shutter original called the sadness. And it is a, I believe it's a Korean horror film and it's a new take on the zombie genre. And you would think, okay, we've beaten the zombies into the ground. This is actually a pretty genuinely original, very dark, very frightening,

very disturbing take on the idea of a zombie virus going around. Really, this guy knows how to make a fucking movie. But this is a hard sit. This is one of those movies where people are like i'm a hardcore horror fan give me the worst and then i feel like a lot of them watch this and go yeah maybe i didn't need to see that well like it really goes where where you do not think it's going to go but it's brilliantly made it's called the sadness okay all right i feel like this is really going to be this isn't Rena's really going to run away with this one

I didn't know it was a competition this part it's not a competition but it is but people do vote you know just much just like politics it's not a competition then I recommend Raiders of the Lost Ark I'm going to recommend Raiders of the Lost Ark that's a good recommendation

that's an interesting concept here. I mean, your recommendation shouldn't change based on the fact that it's a fiction. Then go see this. Actually, go see The Sadness with an asterisk. A massive asterisk,

which I think has a ring to it. That has a ring to it. A masterism. A masterism. Oh, you beat me to it. God damn it. All right. We got to go to a commercial break and then play some games.

So let's do that. We'll be right back. We are back and I've got two games for us to play today. And the first one is called Thor Losers. the first one is called thor losers it's called that because the two of you the two of you who know the least about thor movies will be thor losers oh brilliant okay love it i'll say a fact, fun or regular. And you tell me if that fact applies to Thor, the original Marvel movie of how many years back, or Thor, the Dark World, called Thor 2 in some circles, or Thor Ragnarok.

So it's multiple choice and the options are regular Thor, Thor the Dark World or Thor Ragnarok. And Rina's going to go first on this first fact. If she misses it, then Frank gets to choose between the two remaining options if he misses then pat gets a gimme point and each time somebody gets a point for getting

one right uh the next person goes first in the next round are you ready reena i mean i'm just glad i started strong in the first half because i thought you said the number four. I thought it was four losers. And I was anyway. Yeah, I'm ready. That's us. That's what, that's what I call this show. Me and me and three friends, AKA four losers. I was, yeah. Anyway, I've seen four weddings and a funeral. Actually, I haven't seen that. Anyway. Yeah, I'm ready. All right. Well, you know, just use deductive reasoning and guess between the three options. You know, you can only be wrong one third, two thirds of the time. Oh, that's a good way to do it. Yeah. Yeah. And also, you know, you never know which way this is going to go. Reena, the fun fact is that the film is one hour and 55 minutes long.

Between those three movies, regular Thor, Dark World or Ragnarok, which one do you think is one hour and 55 minutes long um i want to say the the dark world you're going dark world um yeah no yes okay dark world is your answer that is incorrect oh that that sounded positive the sound effect but you thought so i don't know it all sounds fun no this one sounds more positive i think it's always exciting when somebody comes to the door yeah yeah points are dropping by yeah okay all right uh frank uh she said uh which one did you say? The middle one, the middle one. Yeah. So that means regular Thor or Ragnarok, Frank, which one of those is an hour and 55 minutes long?

So my wife is a huge, huge Marvel fan and we watch movies repeatedly. OK, so you must know this. Number one, first Thor. You're saying the first Thor is an hour 55 yeah so that's the noise you get when you get a correct answer yeah that sounds that genuinely frightened me i was waiting for the goddamn doorbell and you do yeah jesus i almost spit out my coffee. Okay. Ragnarok was the longest of the three at two hours and 10 minutes. And dark worlds, an hour 52. So just three minutes shy of it's a predecessor.

Regular Thor predecessor. All right. So Frank is on the board. Frank has one point. Patton, you're up. You got to go first on this one okay who's between thor dark world Thor Ragnarok damn

that's pretty correct the sound of an elf getting a boner means I don't get any points okay Rina a boner means I don't get any points. Okay, Reena, you're up. You get to choose between he picked Ragnarok, so Thor or Dark World is $3.99 on

Amazon Prime. $3.99 has real first film like a long time ago energy to it. I feel like they're still probably charging more for Ragnarok. So we're going to go with the original Thor. That is correct. Yeah. Wow. All it took was some

accounting skills. OG Thor. Well, it's interesting because yeah, Dark World is for free right now on Starz, if you have that. And Ragnarok, I think just because a lot of people are probably hoping for a lot of people wanting to re-educateate themselves remind themselves of what was going on at the end of Ragnarok um because it's 1999 yeah wow yeah also the second Thor uh is rated the worst of the series

rated by who just just in general like this i'm sorry the second one yeah the dark world yeah wow i thought this is just my opinion i thought they kind of flubbed the first one and then they kind of got it together for the second one and realized wait a minute loki's the fun of this let's bring him back and do some cool skullduggery stuff here like that that actually made it kind of fun. They did make an adjustment there that ultimately I think they, they were, I think they got, I think the comedy still didn't fly in dark for me.

It really started to come together in Ragnarok. And then in all these other movies where they had, where those guys happened to appear. Like, I think, I mean, i mean to me thor and that's why i'm excited about this movie just on the face of it just his behavior and the and where they've where they've taken the character with this actor is just the funniest marvel character to me yeah yeah but also thor in the original marvel universe was so looney tunesunes. It was Kirby and Stanley and all them just flirting with gods and like, what

if an actual god, like a god from mythology is alongside the thing and Captain America? Why the hell not? So the whole thing was friggin' crazy. So why not go crazy? Yeah, yeah, exactly. All right, so Patton...

He should do that and call it thor loco god damn you're not on the board yet yeah but renee should be on the board like five more points just for that quip okay well it's the multiverse where it's all Mexican superheroes? Frank, it's your turn to go first again. Because Rina just got that point. Yeah. So, Frank, which one of those three movies? I feel like you're going to know

this with your significant other being so into it. Thor says in one of those movies, for the first time in my life, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. Sounds like a moment of clarity

from Thor. Number three. You're going number three, Ragnarok. You're rocking number three. Incorrect. Yeah, this is yours to win. Now Patton could tie this up, force a three-way tie, if he knows whether it's in first Thor or second

Thor. I'm going to say it's in the first Thor. You're going first Thor. First Thor. He says, for the first time in my life, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. Yeah. And he's been confused in everything we've seen him in. Yeah, that is true. He's always confused.

He didn't say for the last time, you know. Yeah, exactly. At the start of it. Yeah. That is true. He's always confused. He didn't say for the last time, you know. Yeah, exactly. That's the start of it. Yeah. That is the correct answer. What? Yay! We have a three-way tie in Thor Losers.

That means we've got to play a very, very serious tiebreaker. Oh, gosh. And, yeah, no more messing around. Rina, you've got to go first again. Okay. And this time it's the first person to get it right. So if you miss it, Frank's gotta stop. If Frank misses it, then Patton wins this game.

And there's no real big prize or anything for winning this game. Don't feel too much pressure, Rina. The tagline for one of those films goes like this. Courage is immortal.

Hmm. Thor, Dark Thor, Ragnarok Thor. Okay, so I want to say Ragnarok because it feels like they're really stretching a premise with the immortal thing you know

incorrect sorry yes what's that? I burped I apologize oh okay I thought that was your answer I thought you said dark Sorry. Yes? What's that? I burped. I apologize. Oh, okay. I thought that was your answer. I thought you said dark. Oh, no.

No, he said burk. Yeah, I said burk. Yeah. Rina took Ragnarok. I regret it. She wishes she had not done that. So you don't want to pick Ragnarok. You have to choose between Thor or Dark World.

Dark World. You're going Dark World. The tagline, Courage is Immortal. Oh my God! Patton, you are the winner of Thor Losers. Oh my God! Wow. And the other two of Thor Losers wow and the other two are Thor Losers

what a victory we're going to play another game of these Thor Losers right after this we'll be right back we are back what an exciting fun filled action packed episode today

we'll have to kind of speed through our final game that's how much fun Fun-filled, action-packed episode today. We'll have to kind of speed through our final game. That's how much fun we've been having. We're running out of time. But I don't think it's a game. I mean, it's definitely a game where there's some discussion, some strategizing, some sharing of information. And the game is called Weird Algorithm. It is based on the weirdness of the algorithm on the internet movie database IMDB. You can go there and you can take

any motion picture or any project at all, really, but any movie, you can look at the cast list and then go, I want to refine this cast list. But have everybody listed based on their popularity right now. Oh, yeah. So, you know, like we typed in, we typed in some like it hot and then refine. I bet you Marilyn Monroe would be number one because she's still so fascinating to this day. And then I don't know know it'd be a toss up between lemon and curtis i don't know who has a better legacy or gets looked up more on

on the internet but it's basically the imdb just decides like their star meter or whatever they decide uh popularity of everybody uh so you can re-rank movies. How this game works is I'll tell you the name of the movie, and then I'll go through to each of you one at a time, and you will tell me what actor or actress you think is the most popular, according

to IMDb today, from that movie. I'll even tell you people that were in the movie. It's not a game where you have to try to remember who was in it. Um, and you can share answers strategically. If you have the same answer as somebody else, you know,

you're going to have the same points as somebody else. So you may not want to do that all the time, but you can certainly, uh, get close to a win and possibly the win by, uh, sharing with other people. Hmm. Indeed.

Yeah. Same order as last time, but each time a different person will get to go first. Reena's first in this first round. I'm ready. The film is called He's Just Not That Into You.

Oh, yeah. Why the cast in that one? Lots of names, couple of friends. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Actual friends, just one friend, just Jennifer Aniston's the only person from Friends in it.

There were coffee shop scenes. They should have had Gunther in those scenes. okay there were coffee shop scenes they should have had gunther in the in the um okay well jennifer aniston i feel like has stayed pretty popular uh for however long i don't know when that movie came out but i feel like she's still very popular who is somebody i would be comparing i know i'm trying you know there's know... She's in a relationship with Ben Affleck in the movie. Drew Barrymore is in there. Bradley Coops.

Jennifer Connelly. Yeah, Scar Jo. Scar Jo's in that one. Chris Christopherson is representing the sexy old rockers. Busy Phillips. I'm going to say Jennifer Aniston

just because she's so popular that she was the first one you thought of to mention. That one sticks out. Wow, you think that there's no design to her? I'm just... I guess that's a pretty stupid strategy randomly saying things you're right no that's a that's that's me putting that's too much trust you're right uh yeah it might be i don't know gullibility okay um my you can change your answer in a second if you want let's see

let's talk to frank for a second who do you think it is frank uh uh okay that's um i would i can't pick jennifer anderson yeah you can't oh i think jennifer anderson okay pat and what do you think uh oh god unfortunately i think right now, Bradley Cooper, just because of all the prestige and these massive movies that he's in, that he's doing, directing, starring and nominated for goddamn everything. I think it's Bradley Cooper. I think it's Bradley Cooper is the first one. I think that. Yeah. What's this new thing he's going to do?

He's writing and directing again. He's remaking something else. It's the Muhammad Ali story. Is it? Oh, right. No, I'm just making... I'm just fucking around. No, no, he is doing some kind of either remake...

What the hell is it? Yeah, I forgot what it was, but I have faith in it. I mean, it sounds like it's going to be cool. Yeah. All right. I think it's Bradley Cooper. Whatever it is.

Yeah. Okay. So you're going Bradley. So, Reena, do you want to adjust your answer? Yeah. I think Bradley Cooper is a great guess. And I feel like Ben Affleck also has, even though it's not creative uh accomplishments him getting back with j-lo really boosts him up there oh yeah that's true but i think i actually want to change my answer to drew barrymore because she's

really on fire right now with her talk show and all that stuff okay you're going drew b yeah all right frank you want to switch your answer to you want to switch your answer to, you want to share with Patton or do you want to... Yeah, I would go Bradley Cooper because if you go Marvel movies and everything he's got, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. You're going Bradley Cooper. Well, here's how

it breaks down. It's a shocking turn of events because all the way in the sixth position is Drew Barrymore. Wow. Whoa, what? I see her everywhere. Okay. Yeah, I thought she'd be way up. Wow. People, I guess

they're seeing her. They don't need to look her name up on the... Oh, yeah, that's true. Yeah. You're ubiquitous. That's right. Okay. Yeah. Number five. Number five is Ben Affleckleck wow i'm in the oh i'm not even a four loser on this one well listen i mean number four is really a shocker too because that's where jennifer aniston ended up is number four i thought i honestly i thought it would be bradley um ben

and then jennifer and then. Wow, that really threw me. Yeah. ScarJo came in third. Nobody said her. That would have been worth one point. But Bradley Koops is at number two, so Frank and Ben each get two points. Wow.

Who's number one? Number one is Jennifer Connelly. What? That's the one? Number one is Jennifer Connelly. What? Because she's currently starring in everybody's favorite movie, Top Gun Maverick. Oh, that's right. God damn it. That's right.

She plays the crusty bar owner or something. Scientologist win again. Is she a Scientologist? Or is that just Tom Cruise? She's not, right? She got some of that Scientology energy off of him. God damn.

Oh, that's brutal. Yeah. Now that you understand, you have a better idea of what we're talking about with this algorithm. Oh, yeah. Really got to think about what's going on okay okay let's go round two frank all right frank you get away in first on a motion picture called the village directed by the master knight i'm not calling him a master. M stands for master.

And I don't know what his M stands for. I hope it's Mary Richards. Oh boy, there could be a lot of, oh wow, okay. I'm already thinking of some of the cast right now. Yeah, we got Adrian Brody, we got

Joaquin Phoenix, M Knight, of course, cameos it up. Judy. Well, we know he's the number one spot. Let's see who gets number two. Let's pick number two. We know he'll be number one. Sig's Weaver.

Sigourney Weaver was in that one. Bryce Dallas Howard. Brendan Gleeson. I'm going to go Bryce Dallas Howard for first. Okay. Wow. Classic world. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, shit. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

But then they just announced that Joker sequel with Lady Gaga. So that might end. And Joaquin Phoenix. Joaquin. Yeah, that might end. I'm going to pick Joaquin for number one. I'm going Bryce. William Hurt justin. Yeah, that might edge. I'm going to pick Joaquin for number one. I'm going Bryce. William Hurt just died. Yeah.

Jesse Eisenberg. What do you think, Rina? I'm going to go with Sigourney Weaver. Really? Yeah. You're going to dreamweave it? Yeah. Yeah, I really...

Yeah, I guess I haven't seen a movie in a long time, but to dream leave it. Yeah. Yeah. I really. Yeah. Yeah. I guess I haven't seen a movie in a long time, but I really like. Frank, what are you sticking with yours? Yeah. Bryce Dallas Howard, the love of Bryce Dallas Howard all the way. That's a smart guess, too. That's a smart guess, man. All right, Pat. And you're going with Joaquin. Yeah. All right. Well, I'm sorry to say that you're not Joaquin on Sunshine.

Damn. He did manage to come in the top three, but he is in the third slot. Oh, man. That's one point. Yeah. See, I had a sixth sense that he'd be number one right that's weird you know it's the thing is he's not unbreakable yeah you know what right now maybe maybe right now he's just not happening you know that's that's what could be going on

it's a real split decision you gotta look for signs you know yeah you don't want to you don't want to treat this like a glass half empty situation yeah you want to treat it like a lady in the water i love the last one getting old is always getting old i love how the last ones are always just jammed in a square. Around. How do we get this joke in here? Also, though, did we did we miss any or we get every show on? What was that one? Like I saw the devil or the death, the thing in the elevator with the. Right.

I mean, I think you really have to have a sixth sense for these things, you know? Yeah. That was that was I didn't hear that. I didn't even hear it. Oh, for the love of god nobody said that that's how I started it oh god what are you an airbender

well alright well some bad news for you because Sigourney Weaver she came in at number 6 oh damn out of the cast of that movie. And just for the sake of time, I'll jump to number two is Adrian Brody. Uh-oh.

Well, I think he just signed on to some big thing or has something coming out, like a series or something. And then, oh, maybe he's in the next. Did they announce the next Wes Anderson? Oh, maybe. He might be in that Did they announce the next Wes Anderson? Oh, maybe. He might be in that because he's a real Wes Anderson guy now. Coming in at number one is Dallas Bryce. Frank, there you go, buddy.

Take a bow. You did it. But we got one round left and Patton gets to go first in this last one. Oh, God, here we go. It's never too early in the year to start talking about how much I don't like the movie love actually. Hell yeah. Holy shit. What a cast. Bill Nighy, Colin Firth, Liam Neeson,

Keira Knightley, Hugh Grant, Laura Linney, Alan Rickman, Emma Thompson, and that guy, Thomas Brody Sangster, the little kid in that movie is now a guy who always looks like he's still only 15 years old. He's in Queen's Gambit, and now he plays

Malcolm McLaren in Pistol on FX. That's right. That's right. Oh, my God. god okay wait a minute his name is Thomas Brody Sangster oh shit um give me the rundown really quick one more time really really really quick one more time so many people in that movie I know Bill Nye colin firth liam neeson um don't forget denise richards appears in it rowan atkinson she would tell egia for uh alicia cuffbird is in it god i don't know if i'm saying her name right um you know what laura linney alan rickman i'm gonna say laura linney because ozark is still landing right good yeah i'm gonna go with laura linney all right uh reena what do you think

um i mean you know i've i'm really playing a strong game here and i think i'm gonna go with another older reference that I hope is still popular enough to get the top spot with Hugh Grant. I feel like one hooker mishap really keeps you on people's minds for a long time. I don't know. I'll tell you what keeps him on my mind. He's terrific in Paddington 2.

Oh, yeah. Well, that'll do. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, he's great in that. Yeah, I feel good about that one. That's my answer. Okay. Because it's been a second since I saw

Unbearable Way to Massatown, but they say that Paddington 2 is the movie they're watching in the movie, right? Or is it Paddington 1? I thought it was Paddington 2. I think it's 2, yeah. Because 2 really is better than 1. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah. And especially because it's the rare sequel that didn't say, oh, we need to have two Paddingtons.

They kept it to the one bear. They remained with the bare minimum. Oh my God in heaven. All right. Who happened? What just happened? Oh, you went with Hugh Grant. Okay.

Frank. This is tough. All right. I want to say Liam Neeson because he's just been around. But also Hugh Grant had that show that came out like on HBO. So he's been. Oh, he's in. He's in Gaslit.

Yeah, he's a gaslight. Yeah. But also should she would tell nobody good in Gaslit, though. Yeah. Yeah. That cast is just bottom scrapers, man. Yeah. Real rough.

A rough road. Have you seen it? Have you seen Gaslit fake? Yeah, man. Yeah, real rough. A real rough road. Have you seen Gaslit, Frank? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Patton's in it. Wait. No, no. Frank, that hurts, man. What's the movie where the guy

or the series where the guy kills his wife, right? Oh, no. You're thinking of the staircase. Am I thinking of the staircase? No, no, no. You're thinking of the staircase. Am I thinking of the staircase? No, no, no. Hugh Grant was in that one that was a mystery about... What the hell? He had a really weird

Boston accent? He had a kid who had something weird happen to him. Yeah, that one. Yeah, yeah, whatever that was called. Trust me, Hugh is not in Gaslit. I would have remembered that. Yeah, I don't know why I thought he was.

Who's like second build after Julia in that? Ed Harris? Sean Penn. Sean Penn. That's what it is. Is it Sean Penn, but he's made up funny? Yeah. Yeah, so that's why I just decided it was a different actor. He looks like Fred Mertz, basically. I decided it was a different actor yeah he looks like fred mertz

basically that's hugh grant in makeup um because he looks so good in all those all those makeups he did in cloud atlas okay uh i'm going easy for wow yeah because of dr strange well this is really this is really exciting. This is an exciting finish, I gotta tell you. Because Patton gets a point because Laura Linney did get the third spot. But both

Frank and Reena, both of theirs didn't make from what I'm seeing here, they didn't make the top eight. Chiwetel's number eight. Oh, wow. What? And he beat Hugh? Hugh Grant, I don't know where the hell he is.

He's so deep in the lineup. Hugh Grant? Whoa! Yeah, I don't know what that's about. But I can tell you what almost happened. Frank almost said Liam Neeseson who did come in in the second spot damn it number one number one and i know i think i know why number one for love actually is emma thompson oh oh because yeah she's placed uh miss trunchbull in this

latest uh movie version of Miss Tilda. And on stage, the musical, the version they're doing for this movie, on stage, it's just been traditionally this big, weird-looking man plays the part, sort of dressed as, you know, and he's wearing, like, a dress, and he's Miss Trunchbull, but he doesn't really act that feminine, obviously.

Right. They cast Emma Thompson in the movie and she looks amazing in it. But there's all this talk of why does the character have to be fat? Right. Why are you fat shaming? It's just like, well,

now the character's a villain. Yeah. It's like you're saying fat people are villainous? She's described as like a big brutish like yeah exactly like it's not a fat thing it's a it's a volume thing like she has to be yeah it's massive it's cartoonish too but yeah she's more boxy than fat she's like she's big the point is she's intimidating to the children It's what children envision a big teacher to be, this giant, menacing thing.

Well, she slingshots children. Also, I don't know. It's like Andre the Giant. Maybe they can add a backstory where she does hot dog eating competitions to raise money for Planned Parenthood and that'll balance it out. That's why she's so cute.

I wish they could do that, Pat, but the movie's completed. Oh, man. You know, they can do amazing things with CGI. Yeah. Just put Tig in there. What you do is you get Christopher Plummer and Tig and

one of them sits on the other one's shoulders and they play his trunchbull yeah like let's do a deep dive like instead of joker trunchbull and just find out what her like glandular disorder was and you know just her normal health problems that yeah go to her glandular background yeah you know um so it was a real close race today reena you know it was almost uncanny your instincts for not picking anybody that was in the top three um more fringe but nobody could argue about your your choices were all solid and then uh of course uh patten uh really almost got there at the end

with uh you know managed to get one more point but at four points Patton is one behind Frank today's winner with five points congratulations where you go buddy I bow to you both that was quite a round the team

will be in touch soon with you Frank about coming back but in the meantime you get to do your plugs first. Go ahead and promote yourself. Oh, hey. Yeah, you can find me on Frankenstein on Instagram. And then I'm going to be in North and South Carolina opening up for Pauly Shore, July 7th through the 17th. Wow.

Nice. That's going to be fun. I'm going to end up in someone's basement in the woods. They're like, we have. Yeah. Thank God. Yeah. Bring a flare gun and some sort of a booster for your internet on your

phone. And yeah. And also don't go. And also, yeah, that'd be the main thing. Don't go. That's how you keep yourself safe. Rena calm. What would you like to promote? I would definitely like to promote my first comedy album.

That's being released as we speak. If you're listening to this on July 1st, which is when it comes out midnight in the morning, you know what I mean? But yeah, so comedy is my album. It's on helium comedy records and I'm really excited to release it into the world. And, um, the best place to find me would be probably Instagram. And I got one of those link trees in my bio to all my videos. I have a book of puns on Amazon, all the stuff's on there. So Rena calm on Instagram is the best

way to stay in touch with me. And I'm always somewhere I've been traveling nonstop for a few years. So you can find me probably in a nearby parking lot, brushing my teeth. She's out. You know, I've been spending a lot of time out of the orchard. Cause I just love plucking links from the link trees. It's just,

it calls it's a calming activity. It really makes me feel, it makes me feel good. I had to make a link tree because I found out somebody made a wiki feet for me. Sorry to bury the lead there. Yeah, it's just pictures of me doing standup and sandals. It's not that exciting. Telling people that my wiki feet is on my link tree has really directed a lot

of traffic to it. So please help me boost my score on wiki feet. I'd like to get above a three. Hey, if it sells tickets, it sells tickets, man. That's what this is about, okay? Sometimes you get caught. Put some seats. Can't you just get some professional shots of your feet and throw them on there?

Yeah, but I like the authenticity of it. You know what I mean? I want I'm here for an honest. Yeah, if they're fine, the person who took the picture of you in the sandals like that was just someone who just turned around and submitted it to WikiFeet. No, it's way worse. It's just pictures that are like of me doing stand up. And I happen to have been wearing sandals that day.

And like somebody went through and compiled all the pictures like that and put them wow yeah yeah yeah i mean yeah it's you know sandals more is my what i'm thinking yeah hey it's getting the clicks i'll you know i'll get some more pedicures you know yeah but in seats yeah all that matters pat and you had on like futuristic looking sandals at the last show i saw you yes well i because i forgot i had been walking around in my futuristic sandals all day and i just left the house and just forgot that i had them on. When I get to the show, I'm like, I'm wearing fucking sandals. Oh my God. So humiliating. But they look like little

space shoes. They're like white. They did. Yeah. There's a good chance. Clearly it never left the house. They're very clean. Oh yes. WikiFeed is actually how I found out I am on IMDB. It's for a thing you've never heard of. But there's a good chance if you've worn sandals in public that you've made it

onto Wiki feed. I don't know who's running it, but they're pretty thorough. There you go. Yeah. I've never worn a sandal in public, so I got to get on that. Yeah. Or is it all women or do they have dudes feet too? I can't say that I looked around much. I'm, I would love it. If that was not a two way street, I would love it if all women just had no interest in men's feet yeah i don't know anybody that does but yeah i don't i like to be inclusive you know so i'm sure somebody you don't know anybody that does because the first rule of

feet club is to not talk about feet club oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Oops. My bad. Padden Oswald. Where are you going this weekend? Oh, this weekend. You had that land issue. Yeah, I got the whole land issue. And then, you know what? Since I'm going to be out there, I'll do comedy. Do a show.

Why not? In New Jersey and then at the Paramount Theater in Huntington. At the end of the month, you can catch me hosting the JFL Gala. Friday, July 29th. Then I'm doing Massey Hall in Toronto on the 30th. The following week, Friday, July 5th, my movie, I Love My Dad premieres in theaters. On the same day, The Sandman premieres on Netflix,

You know, they either, you know, if they say I didn't want to leave the house, OK. You know, either go out and see him or stay home and see him. I've seen I Love My Dad.

I love my dad. I love my other trait. You saw it at South by Southwest. Yeah, but I always fuck up the title because I want to say I love you, dad. But I love my dad. I love my dad. I love my other trait. You saw it at South by Southwest. Yeah. But I always fuck up the title because I want to say I love you, dad. But I love my dad. I love my dad. And it's and it's I can't recommend it highly enough. I mean, I know Reena said that everything everywhere all at once is one of the best movies she's ever seen. Well, get ready for I love my dad.

I'm I'm I'm I'm overselling it because it's a little movie, but it's a little movie that is probably you've probably never been as creeped out slash entertained. Usually when things are creepy and uncomfortable, you want to look away, but for some

reason, it's a fun version of that. Yeah. The guy director, James Morrisonian did an amazing job just amazing job it's really yeah it's worth i don't mind going long today to talk to because i'm sorry we didn't talk about that earlier because that's okay that's one people really should uh really sure should turn out for what what a delightful way to spend a hot summer afternoon get get in the air conditioning.
