Starting point is 00:02:14 I don't know. People not respecting the Zoom format? That ain't right. Listen, barbarian spoiler, maybe he's in one of those tunnels underneath his house. Oh, no. I'm scared for him now.
Starting point is 00:02:28 You're right. These are some scary tunnels. Also joining us, returning this show because I always love to reach out to him and get him on the show. He's got a movie coming out and he certainly has that right now. It's Ryan Johnson. Hello, Ryan. Hello. Hey, Doug. Hey, Chad. a movie coming out and he certainly has that right now it's ryan johnson hello ryan hello hey doug hey chad hi excited to be here well thank you for being here um i've met the minimum requirement i'm here so yeah that's good you showed up yeah you. You had a team of people that made it happen. And I appreciate that. And of course it's an exciting time for you because the second knives out
Starting point is 00:03:14 movie, this one called glass onion is out any day now. And so do you want to tell us who the murderer is in this one? It's Justin Long. Oh! He's on the run. I need that kind of scoop to get some publicity. I'm just going to go out and tell people that Justin Long is the murderer in the new Knives Out.
Starting point is 00:03:42 In theaters November 23rd and on netflix december 23rd whoa yeah let's see it in the theater see in the theater for crying out loud we're out one week one week at like december at thanksgiving and this is a this is a serious ironclad week or if it's like doing boffo box office it'll keep going they're telling me it's it's ironclad um i mean we'll see i hope so people gotta hope they can't take a chance they gotta just go you gotta just go see it don't uh don't screw around on this um you know it's a it's the kind of movie that you can hold it over all your friends if you've seen it and they haven't because you'll know something that
Starting point is 00:04:28 could completely ruin it for them. Yeah, we already know the killer now, Doug. Yeah, right? We all know it's Justin and he's not even here for us to yell at him about it. But, oh. He goes, fuck, I got confused about the time. Sorry. but oh he goes
Starting point is 00:04:45 fuck I got confused about the time sorry it's at 2 question mark yeah right we started it too Justin let me text him real quick I really think he's going to use the time change thing is he going to attempt the time change thing.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Is he going to attempt that? We all have phones. We all have iPhones. I think he really is going to say it. I'm putting on my detective hat right now. Can you solve the mystery of why Justin Long is late? I'm seeing the ellipses now. The three dots are half, but I can't wait to see his response
Starting point is 00:05:27 because I told him that it's 2.18 right now. If it's a blue bubble, he has an iPhone, and we all know what iPhones do. They automatically update the time. And I have an Android and it still did it.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Okay. So, yeah. So he says he's heading home and I'm going to say hit us up when you get home. But, yeah, he just lost track of time or thought it was at a different time. He's been
Starting point is 00:06:02 busy murdering. Well, he's been murdering it as far as his career goes because I'll tell him to his face when he gets here, but he rivals a lot of the scream queens in terms of volume of horror movie appearances.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Mm-hmm. Absolutely. So I think we should, you know, we should anoint him Scream King. That's how I'll put it. But before he arrives,
Starting point is 00:06:35 let's go through his filmography and be real honest. No. Let's air our Justin Long grievances. No, before he gets here, because, you know, let's air our Justin long grievances. No, before he gets here. Cause you know, we can certainly,
Starting point is 00:06:54 we weren't going to play the games right away. So that's, that's the part we need him here for the most. So let's do the part where I asked my guests to recommend a movie. Chad knows that since he was just on a few weeks ago that during the month of October, I asked everybody to recommend each of my guests, I'd say recommend one horror movie. But now that we're out of that month, which seemed like the longest Halloween ever to me,
Starting point is 00:07:18 seemed like a six-week Halloween period. And now we just entered right into a, looks like we're just doing two months of Christmas. We're like just starting Christmas stuff immediately. But so that being said, let's take a sharp turn and let's recommend for my listeners. I'd like each of you to recommend a wholesome movie, like the opposite of a horror movie. You know, something
Starting point is 00:07:45 cheery and wholesome. Is anything springing to mind, Chad? Yeah. Last night I watched the weird Al Yankovic story. Okay, I'm going to stop you right there because there could not be more violence
Starting point is 00:08:02 and depravity and bullying. There's so much bullying. It's very fun, though. It's done in a very cheeky way. Yeah, but they're not afraid to get a little
Starting point is 00:08:18 dark, especially when you know Weird Al's history of being sort of like, he doesn't go there when it comes to dirty or offensive humor, but for him, it does get dark at times.
Starting point is 00:08:35 But in a funny way, too, because it's making fun of biopics and how every single one of them has all these terrible turns that they take, of course, because they don't make a movie about somebody whose life is just gone perfectly. Yeah. You're not going to leave the movie being like, I need to take a shower.
Starting point is 00:08:54 That was too much. You know, it's a good time, I thought. Yeah. No, it's got a lot of sweetness and heart to it. And the bottom line is very funny. sweetness and heart to it and uh but the bottom line is very funny to me it was funny in an emotional way because it's just weird to not only be laughing that hard again at something but also it's something that kind of feels nostalgic even though you know obviously daniel radcliffe it's a very funny idea to have somebody who's like ripped and young and you know
Starting point is 00:09:23 good looking except for the except for the hair and the mustache you know and the glasses yeah like uh it's just very it's a very hilarious idea and they uh and it and it plays out nicely you know like it's uh it doesn't feel like a one joke that goes on for too long no no it's perfect and then also something about i love the fact that it feels like it's getting more traction on social media of people saying like five minutes into it i'm loving this movie because you have to watch it with ads it's on roku so the ads are just there no matter what there's no paid version of roku right so uh everybody's tweeting about it because five minutes into this movie everybody's loving they get a little break immediately and so i just keep seeing all these
Starting point is 00:10:11 i keep seeing all these tweets i'm five minutes in and i'm loving it it's like it's kind of genius yeah i hope that doesn't catch on i i don't think it will because i also think that that's how much we love weird al is that we watch his movie with ads. Yeah. You know. That's a very good point. And it's those ads. It's like YouTubers, you know, YouTube viewers are used to the kinds of ads they are because they just kind of pop in randomly.
Starting point is 00:10:36 And there's a little clock in the corner that tells you how long it's going to take. And, you know, still managed to get some political ads in there. I thought, for fuck's sake, I could get away from political ads for two seconds by watching this Weird Al movie on Roku. No such luck. I was very surprised when
Starting point is 00:10:58 Justin Long showed up as the killer at the end. That was a shocker. I didn't expect that in the Weird Al movie. He's really the secret killer cameos he's doing all over the place it's uh it's getting out of hand uh weird the al yankovic story you know i you know i like my full titles uh What do you think, Ryan? You've had a chance to think about it. Any wholesome movies come to mind? I was just thinking back what we've seen recently. You know what was really fun? Did you guys see Confess Fletch?
Starting point is 00:11:35 Did you see the Jon Hamm? No. I did see it. And you're right that it does kind of – it's got swear words and stuff in it, but there is a wholesomeness to it it totally is it's also wholesome because it's just kind of it's like that first fletch movie it took me back to just kind of the sort of thing that i would like we would i would like watch with my dad like on a weekend and it's just he's really charming and it's really funny it's like you know it just feels
Starting point is 00:12:02 really kind of breezy and it's just it was just really enjoyable yeah very wholesome in that way yeah i hope they uh get into uh you know get into all the books you know um yeah because i just that could be because john ham really nails the uh you know it's a different take on the character a little bit than Chubby Chase he doesn't like wear you know he doesn't put on fake teeth and stuff but but still same sort of attitude very funny yeah
Starting point is 00:12:33 you watch it again you probably catch new you know little jokes and asides you miss the first time especially with an audience because people laugh over stuff yeah I'm sure I'm flipping through because i keep kind of on my phone just like because my memory is so bad i keep like a log of the movies i watch just so i can remember what i saw so i'm flipping back through and most of it's pretty dark it's like and then that oh see how they run you know
Starting point is 00:13:01 that mystery movie that just came out with Sam Rockwell? Yeah. It's like there's a renaissance of the whodunit that you're at the, you know, you're like at the front of the wave of that. Like it's really a genre that's making a comeback, and especially like kind of a light version of the whodunit. I haven't seen See How They Run, but I hear it's then i hear source source of ronan's really good at it just terrific rockwell's rockwell's great and everything i love rockwell it's really if also adrian brody's got a really fun little
Starting point is 00:13:37 part this is really in it it's it's super fun i'm a whodunit junkie i love those movies so i'm i'm in heaven right now with all these coming out i just i watch all of them i just love it but yeah that was really that was really fun and that's a fun thing in your new movie is that uh you were able to get the co-author it's something he's not as known for as his musical theater work but the co-author of the last of Sheila, who done it from the 70s that you obviously like very much, was co-written by Stephen Sondheim, who you managed to get into Glass Onion, a cameo before you passed away. Wow.
Starting point is 00:14:16 Yeah, we've got some, and we kind of, it's just like a fun little, I don't want to oversell it. It's just like one little fun moment in the movie, but it's a cameo where it's Sondheim and we also got angela lansbury um to do in the same scene a little cameo and i mean yeah jesus the other thing people a lot of people don't know sondheim um besides co-writing the last of sheila and he was like a huge mystery and puzzle nut uh the only like straight play non-musical play he ever wrote was a whodunit he was he was really really into the into the genre so um but also I'm a huge I grew up as like a musical theater kid in high school and
Starting point is 00:15:00 Sondheim was always kind of my guy so for me you know just I mean both him and Lansbury just the fact that I got 10 minutes with each of them to kind of film the thing but then just like tell them what their work meant to me I mean it's pretty amazing pretty cool yeah that's a tremendous uh good deal uh for you to uh meet them and get to appreciate them in person. And I've seen the two of them in any movie, but your movie specifically, I'll probably shed a tear over it. It'd be so exciting to see, you know,
Starting point is 00:15:37 because they were both so great. I was thinking for Knives Out 3, I know you probably don't want pitches really, but this is so perfect, is Benoit Blanc could go to Cabot Cove and solve
Starting point is 00:15:54 Jessica Fletcher's murder. And the killer Justin Long. Because there's so many suspects. How many people do you think she put behind bars in that town? Well, isn't the joke that it had to have been her? I mean, it's a little mysterious that any time she put it in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:15 What a shocker. Yeah. Okay. So since Justin's not here yet, I'm going to just fill in a movie for him. I'm going to pick one for him. I think I'm going to go with Alvin the Chipmunks the Squeakwool. Thanks for those wholesome recommendations,
Starting point is 00:16:37 you guys. We're going to go to our first commercial break and we'll play some games and hopefully Justin will have uh joined us when we get back we'll be right back we're back and guess who's here he made it yay yeah he won on this show a few weeks back and now he's back the star of Barbarian, a star-barian, if you will. I will. A star-barian in a nice knit hat.
Starting point is 00:17:14 It's Justin Long, everybody. Well, don't tease the audience. Now they're going to want to see it. They're just never going to. You're going to have to jump on this. This is audio only, Doug. You can't see that hat. Just take Doug's word for it. I'm wearing a gorgeous, cool little knit.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Irish, would it be Irish? Were you like doing a self-tape for Legend of Badger Vance 2? I feel a little like the way Leonardo, you can't see it, but Leonardo DiCaprio wears these, right? He puts them all the way over his nose. It works for him, that's for sure. Yeah. Whatever can rub off on me.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Well, what's going on besides congratulations on Barbarian? Everybody is loving that scary-ass movie. Oh, yeah. You're like officially a Scream King at this point.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Yes. A Scream Queen, I think, still. Oh, yeah? If you're comfortable with the title, I'll call you Scream Queen. I'm very comfortable. Scream King. King sounds too... What about Scream Walrus? It's Scream Duke. King sounds too... What about Scream Walrus? Scream Duke.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Yeah, it's been so nice. Doug, what did you think of it? Well, as you know, I'm not a fan of walking down dark hallways. Right. I generally avoid it, but your character apparently is super into it. And so good for him. avoid it, but your character apparently is super into it. And
Starting point is 00:18:45 so good for him. But yeah, we haven't said much about it on the show, obviously, because it's such a fun movie to experience without knowing anything going in. Including, I think knowing that you're in it is a little bit of a spoiler.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Oh, well, shit. She said it. See, I had no idea he was going to be in it when i started watching it his introduction was super fun i love that oh oh thanks right yeah no it's really i love that song i love that donovan song it's it had been in my head for months after we shot a ricketyky tally mongoose it's such a good song um and it was supposed to be something else but they couldn't get the rights uh and and and i think donovan wanted a a lot more money than they um ended up settling on uh so i wonder how they feel about it or he feels about it being in it because i've
Starting point is 00:19:38 heard a lot of friends asking me about that song and i wonder if it's had a little resurgence. Oh yeah I bet you it has. I bet you people are using it in TikTok videos and... Do you have TikTok? It bothers me that I can't see you. I'll be honest. I can't see anyone. It's difficult. I don't know what to speak. I want to see people laughing or not laughing. I can't believe all these years in the business is your first time doing radio. Well, radio with this many people, I suppose
Starting point is 00:20:12 that I can't see. Radio, you see the people in the room. Oh, I see what you're saying. You've never done a phone. Ryan, why don't you turn it on? Chad, come on. All right. Is that cool? Fucking pressure. phone her. Ryan, why don't you turn it on? Chad, come on. All right.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Is that cool? Fucking pressure. This is part of the reason we don't turn it on because as you pointed out, the listeners aren't going to get to see it. It was a bad idea. I don't feel good about this. It's going to make us more present. Ryan,
Starting point is 00:20:44 everybody looks great. I haven't seen you since we did karaoke do you remember that oh my god many holy years ago yes oh wow yeah a fun cruise krasinski and joe who was emily i think emily blunt emily yeah that was a blast man that's right it's good to see you okay cameras off now okay bye Chad bye good to see you Justin
Starting point is 00:21:15 stop saying goodbye the show isn't over it was getting too personal with the cameras it really was people were like oh now we're just watching... Chat with each other. Turn it off. All right. We got to focus now,
Starting point is 00:21:33 Justin, because we've got a couple of games I put together to play. And we were talking a little bit about Weird Al's movie, Weird, the Al Yankovic story. Oh, that is great.
Starting point is 00:21:50 You saw it? No, no. I've been just hearing such good things. Yeah. Yeah. Chad and I saw it and we loved it. It's awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:01 And Ryan plans to enjoy it. So as a tribute, you know, as an homage to the fact that that movie's out this weekend, people can watch it on Roku. I've come up with a game called UH What?
Starting point is 00:22:20 And here's how this game works. I'll say a fun fact and then you have to tell me if it applies to the movie UHF or the movie U571 or neither. Oh, boy. Okay. UHF. They're very dissimilar movies they are they might have some things in common or they might have things that they both don't have well doug this is an
Starting point is 00:22:54 appropriately weird game yes that's my point perfect so chad's gonna get to go first i'll say a fun fact to chad he'll guess either UHF, U571, or neither. And then if he misses, then Justin, you get a shot at it with the remaining two choices. And if you miss, then Ryan gets the gimme point because there's only one option left. Whenever somebody gets one right, the next person in line will go first on the next one. Chad, are you ready? I am ready. Okay, this is Chad.
Starting point is 00:23:27 And Chad alone gets to answer this question. It's not really a question. It's just a fact. You tell me if it's UHF, U571, or neither released in the 90s. Ooh. I'm going to say neither on this one. You're going, you think neither one of those movies was released between 90 and 2000? I do believe neither one was.
Starting point is 00:24:01 All right. Well, I appreciate you sticking to your answer. You're a player with integrity that is correct that is the correct yeah i like that just vocal noise wow they bracketed the 90s with uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh and U571 came out in 2000. So there you have it. Chad's on the board. He's got a point.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Justin, you got to go first on this next one. Okay, I got to stop. I'm preoccupied with putting up a photo on my little Zoom thing. But I'm going to drop it. Okay, here we go. Here we go all right here we go has actor keith david in it oh it's so funny i was just thinking about how i'm constantly getting uh keith david and david keith confused but keith david i know now to be um because he was in something i just saw oh nope yep he was in nope um and and so he was he in uh uh uh jeff
Starting point is 00:25:18 or you five seven one i'm gonna UHF. That's your answer, UHF? Keith David and UHF? I know it's wrong. That's how I said it to Chad after his guess. That's true. He was right.
Starting point is 00:25:39 UHF. I'm going to say UHF. Okay. That's incorrect. Okay. Now we go to Ryan. Ryan, you got narrowed down to two options good luck oh shit nothing um yeah i yeah i can't i can't say i can call up in my mind many images from u571s this is a blind stab but i'm'm going to guess he was in U-571. You're saying that Keith David is in U-571.
Starting point is 00:26:14 Don't do this to me, Doug. Don't fuck with me. That's your answer. Man, you've got a hell of a poker voice, Doug. He really does. I'm committing to it. I can see him in a submarine. Okay, you're going U-571.
Starting point is 00:26:31 Has Keith David in it. Incorrect. It's the Frank of the Beans. Me too. That means that if we come back around to chat. Well, if I may. Now, okay. He was either in U571 or K19, The Widowmaker.
Starting point is 00:26:54 I'm going to say neither then. You know what? I don't know how you do it, but that is correct. Neither is correct. Here's the fun twist. is correct. Neither is correct. Here's the fun twist. David Keith, who Justin mentioned,
Starting point is 00:27:08 is in U5. Oh, you tricky bastard. Yeah. You're cunning. All right. Let's do one more just for fun. Justin, because Chad's running away with this thing.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Okay. But Justin, UHF, U571, or neither had the tagline, anyone can be a hero. Hmm. I'll say, I'll say UHF
Starting point is 00:27:47 so you're going with UHF had the tagline anyone can be a hero it's probably neither now I want to say neither can I switch do I switch it to neither I'm going to switch it to neither so you're saying neither of those movies had the tagline.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Anyone can be a hero. Yes. That is correct. Whoa. Yeah. You did it. It was too little too late, but you still did it.
Starting point is 00:28:20 And I'm proud of you. And. He puts on his video for a victory. Nice. But Chad Opitz won that game and he gets to go first in our next game, which we will play right after this break. We'll be right back.
Starting point is 00:28:42 We're back and we were having so much fun during the break. I didn't want it to end. But we've got another game to play. And it's one I enjoy a great deal. It's called The Little Search Engine That Could. Oh, yeah. And in this game, I don't think Justin or Ryan has played this before. This is a game where I just roll onto the search
Starting point is 00:29:08 engine on IMDB, the Internet Movie Database, and I type in a word and in honor of Knives Out coming out, I typed the word out today
Starting point is 00:29:23 and then I wrote down the top movies that according to the IMDb algorithm are the eight most popular titles with the word out in them. Yes, eight titles with out in them. Eight men out, if you will. with out of them. Eight men out, if you will. You'll take turns guessing movies with out in the title for three rounds. The higher up on the list your title is, the more points it's worth. If you name the number one movie, it's worth eight points.
Starting point is 00:29:58 All the way down to the number eight movies worth one point. The titles must be exact, full, correct titles. There's like any sequels or anything, you got to know all the words. And start with Chad. Then we'll go to Ryan. Then we'll go to Justin. This is round one.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Each of you gets to name one movie in each round and we'll pick them off as we go. As they show up on the list, if they show up on the list. Okay. Chad. So,
Starting point is 00:30:33 yeah, I'm going to go. I'd be surprised if this one was not on there. Cause it's pretty recent and it was a popular movie. I'm going to say inside out. Inside out the Pixar. Classic. Yeah. I think they're finally making a sequel. Yes. Inside Out. Inside Out, the Pixar classic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:46 I think they're finally making a sequel. Yes. To that one. A little worried about that because it's so perfect all by itself. I don't think it really needs a sequel. Just like Cars. Oh, boy. Cars had two and a half, too many movies, if you ask me.
Starting point is 00:31:09 Yes. Yes, it did. So you're going with Inside Out is a movie with the word out in it that you think is in the top eight movies with the word out in them. And you are correct. It is on the list. And it's number four oh okay number four so that's worth chad right out of the gate has a whopping five points but now we go to ryan what movie do you think would uh be on this list? I feel good about this guess.
Starting point is 00:31:47 I'm also relieved Chad didn't say this because this is like the only movie I can think of with the word in it. But I'm going to say Get Out. Oh, yeah. Okay. All right. Get Out, of course, was the prequel to Nope. The prequel to Nope. And.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Where's the movie. Previous. Prior to Nope. And prior to the other one. Us. But anyway. Get Out is in fact on the list. It's number two.
Starting point is 00:32:18 On the list. Of movies without. In the title sets. Worth seven points for Ryan. Justin. What do you think, man? I'm going to say out of sight. Okay. The Soderbergh movie with Clooney and J-Lo. Her best screen performance, if you ask me.
Starting point is 00:32:44 She's great. and so many good people yeah you got donnie cheeds in there donnie cheeds i'll never forget old donnie cheeds he's in there but anyway yeah it's great oh uh uh katherine keener has a fun turn in that yeah she's great oh and uh uh albert brooks did you say him i did tremendous tremendous cast story jumps back and forth like uh you know uh for lack of a better term, Pulp Fiction style. And a very enjoyable movie. Unfortunately.
Starting point is 00:33:29 No, it's number six. Oh, great. Nice. Wow, you guys are doing great. So Justin got three points for that. Now we go back to Chad. And he's been sitting there picking his brain.
Starting point is 00:33:46 Can it be part of a longer word? You know, I would normally say yes. Man. But in this case, no. But yeah, if there were like a big movie,
Starting point is 00:34:02 I just don't think there was anything big enough to come into the top eight. It could have been something with the word about. You know? OUT could have been together in a different word, but in this case, all of these have the word out. Oh, just on its own.
Starting point is 00:34:18 It can't be a conjunction or anything? It's not in the case of any of these. In the past, I've done somewhere where it'll slip in. Angels in the Outfield. In the past, I've done some where it'll slip in. Angels in the Outfield is not. That's exactly what I was thinking of. Damn. Yeah, that's one you could rule out.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Wow. You rule out. Nice, Doug. God damn. Doug, you're a master. Let's see. I mean, this isn't going to be on it, but for some reason, the only one I'm thinking of
Starting point is 00:34:44 is the Tony Danza masterwork She's Out of Control you know what that movie was I did see it on the list but I went really far down the list out of curiosity and it was nowhere near the top 8 unfortunately
Starting point is 00:35:01 you know you're still in pretty good shape you still got five points we'll see uh we'll see what else happens here when we go uh to ryan for his seconds of three seconds i was literally sweating bullets and i just realized am i allowed can i although this will be embarrassing if it isn't i guess but. But can I just say Knives Out? You can say Knives Out. Oh, no. That's part of the fun. Everyone listening is waiting for you to say it or somebody.
Starting point is 00:35:39 I wanted to say it, but I thought Ryan should say it. I mean, it's pretty low-hanging fruit. So you want to stick with that, Ryan? You're going with Knives Out? I'll roll the dice, yeah. Let's see. Okay. Number one! Oh! Nice!
Starting point is 00:36:02 Oh my god. Wow. Yeah, Justin, Chad, you both could have jumped in there. Oh my God. Well, yeah. Justin, Chad, you both could have jumped in there. Ryan looks silly, but he got it. I wouldn't want to do that to Ryan. I don't think either of us wanted to do that. Yeah, that's why. No, I'm just an idiot and I didn't think about it.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Me too. Me too. All right, Justin. There's still some points out there that could get you. What about living out loud? Living out loud. What was that? Was Queen Latifah in it?
Starting point is 00:36:36 I'm going to say. Oh, yeah. And Danny DeVito? Yeah, I think so. Oh, yeah. I think so. It's clearly not. Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Holly Hunter was in it. Oh, yeah. I think so. It's clearly not. Yes, Holly Hunter was in it. Oh, yeah. Holly Hunter. Never heard of it. I did it right after The Firm. Yeah. No, that was that Richard LaGravine. I think Richard LaGravine wrote it and maybe also directed.
Starting point is 00:36:57 It might have been his directing debut. It's got to be right after Knives Out. Or it was the guy who directed. after Knives Out. Or is the guy a drunk too? I'm sorry, Justin, but as a good guess, but did that make
Starting point is 00:37:12 the top eight? I mean, you'll be surprised at some of the ones that did make the top eight. Let's go one more round, Chad. All right. This one's very on, I don't think it's going
Starting point is 00:37:22 to be on it. It's very on brand for me. The 1991 Steven Seagal film Out for Justice. Oh. I mean, that is one of the great titles in a series of great titles because all of his titles were like that, like above the law. Yes. Hard to kill. Out for Justice.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Marked for death. Yeah. And then out of nowhere he's like and I mean a movie called The Glimmer Man. What? What? So you're going out for justice and I applaud the choice but it is not.
Starting point is 00:37:59 Oh. I'm sorry to say Chad. So Chad you're finishing out with five points. It was a strong showing. You had a great start. But now Ryan is way out in the lead. Can really rub it in here if he puts even more points on the board. What do you think, Ryan?
Starting point is 00:38:21 I've got to guess, but I would kind of be a bit of a bitch move to say it. I feel like, because the full title of the movie I have coming out is glass on you and the knives out mystery. And I wonder if it got kind of all put together in there. And I wonder if that's in there somewhere just because. Don't do it, Ryan.
Starting point is 00:38:39 Don't do it. That's the thing. It's not worth it. I'm not better than this, but you know what i'm not i'm going to i'm gonna go with something that's a definite loser here i'm gonna but it's a cooler cooler movie i'm gonna i mean this is really i'm gonna say out of the past the mitchell movie it's one of my favorites oh okay no way it's in the top eight there's no possible way but i'm falling on my sword here
Starting point is 00:39:06 just to just to uh show that i'm dumb i think it's uh i think it's around 11 or 12 uh on the list but not in the top if i can't even just recommend that movie to people. It's worth. What is it, Ryan? It's Out of the Past. It's a Robert Mitchum. Yeah, noir. Nice. Right. It's so good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Yeah. It's really. When I worked with, I got to work with Michael Parks and he was, he was friends with Mitchum and he would, he would tell me the craziest stories about him because they had done a couple of Westerns together and he would just tell me the wildest stories about him he was such a he was like an actual seemed like he was a real cowboy real oh i wonder if there's anybody in the world that's you know what i prefer chris mitchum
Starting point is 00:39:58 i don't think so Robert So Justin it's back to you I'm going to do one of my favorites too I don't think it's on there But I recommend it to people too I think it might be on my top 10 Of all time
Starting point is 00:40:21 The classic Laurel and Hardy Way Out West That movie's great might be on my top 10 of all time the classic laurel and hardy way out west so good that is a good one and it's funny that you mentioned wait avin costello it's laurel and hardy it's it's um yeah they have a deed to a gold mine it's it's it's amazing laurel's got like a there's like an eight minute scene where he's just getting he hides the deed in his uh breast pocket and and so this woman just starts tickling him trying to get it out and uh he laughs for like a solid i've never seen laughter like that like realistic laughter that sustained for so long it's it's incredible such a good movie so good well we should put that down as your uh i was asking the guys earlier to recommend
Starting point is 00:41:11 uh wholesome movies and since you weren't here i just put in uh the squeak wall but but maybe maybe we should throw do way out west instead yeah it instead. Yeah, it really holds up. I saw it not too long ago. Awesome. Okay, so that concludes the game. So Ryan is our winner with a whopping 15 points. Nice. And yeah, congratulations, Ryan.
Starting point is 00:41:42 And let me just for everybody's edification, tell you about the rest of the movies in the top eight. Number eight turned out to be a movie called Out of the Furnace. What? What is that? It's Christian Bale, I believe. Whoa. Okay.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Yeah, gritty drama. He's like a steel worker, but he runs with shady people and he does, you know, he's going to do one last job with them. That sort of deal. Spousal abuse. It's got it all. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Number seven. No way out. Number seven. Oh, yeah. Number seven is a horror movie that I don't know much about uh called lights out oh okay all right yeah i vaguely remember that and then uh this is a movie that's like apparently it's brand new so i guess that's why people are looking it up uh there's a film called at number five uh out of the blue oh out of the blue. Yeah, so that stars Diane Kruger
Starting point is 00:42:46 and Hank Azaria. Whoa. No judgment. And then, you know, Ryan did not want to do a bitch move, but number three. What?
Starting point is 00:43:02 Glass Onion and Nights Out Mystery. Well, this movie's's gonna be a hit i think so i can't wait i can't wait to see it people are piping in knives out you know because of the anticipation of the the next knives out so that's why the original knives out is number one. And then, yeah, this new one's not far behind with, you know, still a couple of weeks before it's in theaters for one week only, Justin. You only have one week to see Glass Onion. Yeah. It's starting November 23rd is when that's starting. Cool.

Starting point is 00:45:58 Justin and Ryan don't know about this, but some of the stages that we do shows on together, Chad and I are at a level, the punchline specifically in Sacramento and San Francisco, the stages at a level where Chad can run up to it and basically go right into a somersault and then back up on his feet again.
