Doug hates candy wrappers, greenie babies, 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 Hey, hey, hey everybody My name is Doug and I love many things This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you once again from all over with another Homes Alone edition. It's Sunday, September 13th, 2020.

My guests today are three of your favorites. I'm this way about them. You can't see my hand gesture. We've got Sam, the ma'am Jeff the tate And Clark the wolf Hey everyone This is Doug loves many things Yeah

Did I get it right? It's fun I do that sometimes When we used to have an audience I would throw in A different word Other than movies And it was always fun

To see them scramble To try to do it right Let's talk to you all Individually and alphabetically and it was always fun to see them scramble to try to do it right. Let's talk to you all individually and alphabetically. Sorry, Clark, again for that. That's all right. Starting with Sam Levine, a.k.a. Little Logan. How's it going, friend?

It's going very well. Right as we jumped on this call, I was celebrating my beloved Chicago Cubs pitching a no-hitter, Alec Mills. Way to go. Do they have some people in the stands, or is it all cardboard cutouts? It's all cardboard cutouts, no fans. But, I mean, there's still, you know, a handful of people in the stadium.

So, you know, it's exciting. I mean, it was on the road, so there wouldn't have been that many Cubs fans anyway. But still, just exciting as a fan watching from home. Sure, sure. You love the game. You love the team. Sure do. Yeah.

So there you are. And I'm happy for you that you get to – that they're still playing. Is there – like, when your team comes close, are they going to play anywhere close by that you could actually physically go see them, or would you even do that? I would love to, but I don't think there's going to be fans let in to any games at all this season or postseason, which is a bummer. But, hey, easier on my wallet because, you know,

those, like, postseason games here in here in LA, those aren't cheap. Why did they have, why are there people at the NFL already? Like what, what happened there? Well, they, they were less stringent, I think than MLB. And it's not every stadium. It's only some stadiums are letting fans in. And even it's like, Oh, we're only going to fill the stadium to 25 or 50 capacity it's all very silly um so i yeah i can't speak to football because i don't really know what follow it as

well but baseball there's just no fans allowed which is you know a bummer but can you speak to bowling i can uh pba is is going bowling are people just never going to do it again uh yeah i i know they're bowling you know in in with the professional bowlers did you know this most of those are a best of two which is the dumbest thing in the world and so i'll sometimes watch professional bowling and then every time they'll do like two games and then it's you know this the games are split like the commissioner of that event will have to walk out and they always walk out like i can't believe this happened i i guess we're gonna have to play another game or something it's the dumbest thing in the world and i love professional bowling for it so then how

many games do they end up playing usually? Usually three or five. I don't know. Yeah, right. Until somebody gets a nine. Exactly. It's very silly. Okay.

It's just who can throw the most strikes in a row is what the game is. Yeah, and it's never me oddly enough no at that level it's just i don't know it's just like when i watch those cornhole professional cornholers on tv uh the way they just sink every single shot it's just like it's just a robot robot arm or something you know yeah also i like that 2020 has brought us professional cornholers i guess i don't know how long it's been going for but i catch it on espn and i've riveted to it every time might just be the same one every time could just be a rerun it's just a rerun yeah well speaking

of reruns back for a rematch today uh to go head to head with a third person here against Desk Ami is our man Jeff Tate. Hey, Jeff. How's it going? Hello, everybody. How's Cincinnati treating you? Pretty good. There's no fans here either.

Nobody allowed into this. They play games, but nobody gets to watch yeah there's like degrees of how the sports are handling it NBA seems to be doing it the best and baseball is like whatever go to the casino and cancel games for two weeks

yeah that's weird I heard that you rented out a movie theater for you and your friends. And then when they got there, you were like, I'm just going to do some standup and you made them watch you do standup. Oh man, that would have been great. That would have been a hilarious twist. They finally get to watch tenant, but instead.

Hey, you know, Christopherlan likes a good twist so we're not gonna watch tenant we're i'm gonna do my act and it's gonna be full of tenant spoilers i'm gonna do a lot of call forwards you should have rented the theater for two blocks that day and watched it by yourself and then when everybody came in just started yelling out random guesses about things that were going to happen. I mean, it would just be random guesses. I've seen it and I don't

understand. Right, but you still would remember like, you know, hey, hang on to your hat like when somebody's hat's about to blow off. Yeah. I't remember that. All right, well, good job renting a theater, watching the movie safe. But what do you have to say to everybody about Tenet? Do you think others should do the same thing?

You know, like make the effort or wait until they can watch it, you know, at home or whatever. I mean, I don't think anything is worth the, like taking, taking a risk. The only reason I did it was because you can rent the thing. You can get like a private watch for not a lot of money. And so if you've got like 10 friends that, you know, are being responsible, then you can do it responsibly. But if you're just going to go to the movies, that's crazy.

Yeah, I'd be so tense because everybody's sitting around me. I'd be like concerned about every little cough. I already get a little annoyed if someone sits real close to me. Yeah. Pre-Pando. But now it's like oh man you're gonna kill my whole family i'm sorry did you just shorten pandemic to pando correct correct oh okay it's going so long sam i don't have time to say the whole word anymore

who has time for that extra syllable i mean after seven months i've saved a lot of syllables and i used them all up now just now explaining it to me oh i robbed you of that i'm so sorry that's the worst when that happens um and i what can i say she's the greatest clark wolf is here hey y'all they representing the east coast yeah that's me we got all three coasts represented today two time zones but three coasts and um i still can't i cannot get over atlanta east coast makes sense fucking cincinnati is not in on the east coast it should not be in the eastern Time zone I agree with you more Okay I'm glad we all agree on that

Whoa whoa whoa Sorry Jeff you got outvoted What do you think I mean I bet you you like it It's probably pretty cool being on the same time As New York and Atlanta You know cool places like that I mean that's that's

the that's the one thing we have that's like I tell all my friends in New York like what do you want man well at least it's still eight o'clock here yeah yeah exactly okay I like it how are things in Atlanta Clark you know they're actually they're pretty okay. I mean, it's, uh, what can I say? I'm not in Cincinnati. Um, no, I'm just, I'm teasing, but, um, uh, I also am not in the, in the Blade Runner 2049 hellscape that is Los Angeles slash San Francisco. So my heart breaks for, um, you know, to be serious. Like we were talking a little bit before we started rolling, man, it's scary. That is all scary. So I'm kind of feeling very lucky that I'm with my parents and, you know, just taking a little break

right now. But we're, everything is fine here. I cannot complain. That's great. And yeah, I feel like, like I said, I feel like the, you know, I'm no doctor or anything, but I'm hoping that the smoky air in Los Angeles is not as, as today they're saying, if you're, you know, sensitive individuals should not go outside. And, you know, I feel like I'm a pretty tough guy. So, you know, I'm only sensitive like if a dog dies, but other than that. Oh, sure. Sure. Sure. You know, I'm pretty tough. So maybe I'll, maybe I'll get through tonight without uh without catching

covid but they are saying that the uh smoky air is probably uh it would make it easier for someone who is susceptible to getting covid to to get it you know yeah that makes a lot of sense i mean yeah it's it's rough out there man but um but yeah we haven't had a lot of sense. I mean, yeah, it's, it's rough out there, man. But, but yeah, we haven't had a lot of rain lately. For the first two months I got here, all it did was rain and rain and rain. And my poor dog, speaking of dogs, he does not care for thunderstorms. And I moved him to the thunderiest place. So, but, but we've had, we've had a break for the last week or so thank goodness so that's been nice so yeah all good here all good i what can you even do do you have like a some sort of

trick like a comfort vest or something to yes i did purchase one of those i am not convinced it works my dog name his name's rufus. Rufus gets very upset. He gets very scared. However, the one trick I have learned is there's a bathroom upstairs that is not attached to a window. So I have started putting his bed and a little lamp. I turn the little lamp on and then I turn the fan on and it drowns out all the sound so he he actually doesn't lose his mind in there so and you know I I give him a little a little something to snack on so he's like all right this isn't so bad but that's the best I've come up with because the little thunder vest does not work have you tried telling him that it's

is it a good look though oh he looks like he's working construction he he and he also has a little uh rain jacket too so it's like almost like he's the village people in various states of dress you haven't uh taken pictures for Instagram? Rufus doesn't have his own Instagram, but I will definitely take some. I also got him a little red vest for when it gets cold, so he looks like Marty McFly, so I like that very much. Oh, you know what? I mean, you don't have to dress him up or anything,

but could he be in your photo that you send me for promotional purposes? I will wake him up and force him to take pictures with me. Oh, I love it. I love it. Okay. So that's our players. That's who's competing today. Real quick, because I've just been excited that, you know,

movies are, you know know back in theaters i you know i'm not going there's not any open up near me but um uh it's still fun to look at the box office report because this episode will come out you know perfect timing for it it's still going to be new news. So nine movies reported their, you know, their box office earnings for Box Office Mojo to compile the list. And, of course, Tenet was number one. It made another $6.7 million for a total of $29.5. Oof. Wow.

What do you think, under normal circumstances, what do you all think would, where do you think Tenet would be at box office-wise? It would have been, obviously, middle of the summer when it came out, and, you know, probably on a weekend where, you know, nobody else wanted to put out anything, you know, wasn't counter-programming. to put out anything that wasn't counter-programming. Yeah, it probably would have opened to like $100 million, and then it probably would have wound up grossing somewhere between $400 and $500 million, I'm guessing, domestically.

Do you think so? Because haven't the reviews been kind of mixed? I guess, but I mean, I guess then we should, I'd have to go look up what Interstellar made, because my guess is it would be pretty on track. The reviews for interstellar were pretty mixed. Yeah. But I feel like it's a little bit, I just feel like at the time, Nolan, it was like Nolan's followup to a dark night was interstellar and McConaughey was so hot. And then I feel like with tenant, you know, it's,

I don't know. I think I agree with you about Sam. I think it would have had like a huge opening weekend and been successful for sure. But I don't know if it would have been half a billion domestic. I don't know. But maybe, maybe the Nolan stands out there. I'm sure I'll hear from them. Yeah. I mean, that's the thing is it's kind of there.

I haven't seen Tenet. Jeff's seen it. But I find it emotionally distant and also, you know, just mentally confusing some of his other movies. So that's why I feel like I'd land with this one. I haven't read anything or heard anything, you know, trying to avoid spoilers, but I also read anything or heard anything you know i'm trying to avoid spoilers but i also want to just know you know is it basic is it basic christopher nolan and people are saying pretty much giving me the impression that it is ah you know i think it would have made

350 million dollars okay who wins doug yep uh that's i to decide who wins. I think it's Jeff because he was the most forceful about it. Oh, man. You just forget to be forceful. He really said it like he was reading it from some sort of factual document. From his future, the future box office book. Oh, you guys don't have futureboxofficemojo.com? No, because they charge for it. So I just get the free one. And I got, I got six G over here. So I get future websites.

I go to this site. That's got old news. This was, this was reported about an hour or two ago. The new mutants is number two with a 2 million weekend and a total of 15.2 million i haven't heard great things about that movie but i'm sure it would have done much better under normal circumstances according to my future website that's exactly what it would have made really just normal normal amount uh i mean there certainly is a lot of mutant type programs on streaming right now that would make you maybe not want to plunk down money for this other mutant thing, you know. We got too many mutants. That's what I'm saying, Sam.

Unhinged is still, it was number three at the box office. It made 1.5 million but my question is um unhinged is a reason to leave your house and sit amongst other people is that like a vin diesel thing no i think it's russell crowe oh sure sure sure sure i mean i guess people gotta see his anger on the big screen all that emotion all that falling down wasn't good enough for them re-watching that on on hbo max just didn't didn't do it they were like i need to see a newer version of this with an australian guy like who you know and people like oh we gotta go see unhinged now like it's not gonna be on tv in like a week from now it's wild yeah and then we've got the broken hearts gallery whatever that is

and uh and bill and ted face the music which yeah bill and ted face the music came in fifth place and it made a penny i don't even know how that's possible oh man poor bill and ted that's the box office rapport before we get to our main event today, I would like to try out since the three of you are so good at games and so willing to give it your all, I'd like to try one round of a

new game that I'm probably going to make a consistent game but we're doing a short version of it today. We're just going to do one round. It's called hanks a lot i've uh of course the work of chet hanks no i've been doing a lot of uh you know uh i there's a particular game called how long is it and every time it's something about Tom Hanks,

because I just think it's funny to constantly be asking questions about Tom Hanks, because people really never take the time to learn their Tom Hanks, even though he is an American treasure. So this is a bidding game like Leonard Maltin. The first player is going to be Sam, because we're going alphabetically, of course. The first player is going to be Sam because we're going alphabetically, of course. And he's going to tell me how many Tom Hanks movies he thinks he can name in 30 seconds. Oh, wow. Oh, my God.

Right? Now, wait a minute, though. If I name a movie, does that take it off the table for the other competitors? No, here's the thing. Then Jeff either bids more names or says, you know, tells you to do it. And then it moves on to Clark and so on. It's bidding just like Leonard Maltin. The sky's the limit, but you only have 30 seconds. And if you end up doing it and you don't succeed, then, you know,

then the person who challenged you is the winner. Oh, so I, okay. I misunderstood. I thought it was going to be like, I have 30 seconds to name as many movies as I can. And then Jeff would, and then Clark would, but you're saying we're going to bid who can do the most. And then eventually only one of us is actually going to try to rattle off all the movies.

As many as you most? And then eventually only one of us is actually going to try to rattle off all the movies. As many as you can. And then because other guests that come on this show, they do not listen to it. So they will not know that it's going to be a Tom Hanks game. And then me and the listeners are going to get the pure joy of listening to people that aren't as good as you guys trying to rattle off Tom Hanks movies. And all you'd have to do is listen to one episode and just know ahead of time, Oh, I better be, I better know my Tom Hanks movies. It'd be so easy to cheat. I hope somebody does, but obviously you can't.

Cause you're just hearing about it for the first time. Any questions? Oh, what a Tom Hanks, David S. Pumpkins. You got to say it like David S. Pumpkins. What was his catchphrase? I'm David S. Pumpkins. Any questions? Oh, yeah. what was his catchphrase was just i'm david any questions oh yeah at the end of it you have to say any questions or maybe that's what i should just say that before we play this game exactly all right so let me put that in there put that in the script. Any questions? It's so dumb, but it's so funny.

Yeah, I love it. All right. And then, because I've also worked it out so that you're going to start. Oh, I'll say that in a second. Let's do the bidding first. So, Sam, how many topics would you name in 30 seconds? All right. Well, I have a terrible question, which stinks because I'm the very first person to technically make a bid and play this game. So once I ask it,

hopefully everyone hears this question and then never has to put themselves in this position of asking again. But when you say Tom Hanks performances, are we talking only movies where Tom Hanks is an actor? Good question. Yeah. I mean, he gives performances in movies where he's not an actor well i mean what i'm obviously you understand i'm asking you're trying to take directing he's in everything he directs so you're taking producing off the table right i i wouldn't have said that, but...

Yeah. Okay. I mean, you know, it's like all these things. It's named Tom Hanks movies. Like, if you happen to name one that you produced, and you know what I mean, and you manage to get in the number that you say you're going to get, then everybody would be so impressed.

I'm sure it'll be fine. Oh, my God. Well, I have no frame of reference here, so I'm going to say I get 30 seconds? Yeah. Alright, I'm going to say 23 movies.

Wow, you can talk about that? Is that way too high? There's no way you can do that. Then I'm an idiot. I have no frame of reference. I haven't even tried. I'll probably get five out and then be done. I mean, Sam, it's taken you five and a half minutes to get to this point.

Shouldn't I help you ballpark it a little bit? Am I allowed to change my bid no name it his 30 seconds ended a long time ago you took it up with questions oh man all right so let's let's let's just step back let's just take a breath because there's no reason to make you try to do 23. Thank you. I mean, if they were written down in front of you, you might not be able to say them in 30 seconds. You'd have to talk like the Micro Machines guy. John Machida.

Yes. You'd have to go really fast, or it'd have to sound like we didn't start the fire. But with Tom Hanks movies, oh my God. That would be really funny. Now I want to hear that. And with one red shoe. Alright, so here we go. So give us a new bit, Sam. Let's pretend that didn't happen.

Okay, I will say 14 movies. All right. That's still mightily impressive. We'll see what Jeff thinks about that. I'm going to say 15. Wow. Really? Clark, before we get to you, I going to say 15. Wow, really?

All right, now, Clark, before we get to you, I want to say that if you decide to challenge Jeff, the phrase is, you're the captain now. Oh, man. Or you can bid a higher number than, what is it, 15? They said 14, 15. My number before, while y'all were all talking, was actually 18. I thought, I mean, accounting for the 30 seconds.

But now I feel like maybe that's too high. I like that you had that kind of, I think it's right on the money. You think so? Yeah. Well, you don't have to bid that high. Obviously you could just bid one more. Sure. And then I could, if I hit 18, then I hit 18. I think, Oh Um, I think, oh man, I don't know.

Uh, oh, if I challenge Jeff, if I say he's, if I say he's the captain, uh, and he does not successfully hit 15, does that mean I get the point? Then yes.

Then you're the quote unquote winner. All right. Then, um, even though I am confident in my abilities, do it, Clark, do it.

I, I, Jeff, Jeff, you are the captain now. I'm seeing, I want my 22 back. It was 23.

Sam. That's a lot, Sam. Cause he doesn't talk that fast. Although you gotta be sure Doug that no, cause like we could have been right you could have been writing them down this whole time you know um honor system not even not even Jim Carrey would pick the number 23

not again but oh you you're saying that any one of you could just be writing down Tom Hanks movies? Sure. To read, to rattle off. I mean, I'm still pretty impressed by if Jeff wrote down 14 of them while we're talking. I think he could. I just want to be clear. I did not write any movies down. I just had them all tattooed up and down my leg memento style

gotta bring it back for nolan huh we got i've got hank's entire resume from from hip to ankle i really think that this is not going to be as hard as we think but jeff all right yeah but but time-wise i do think that was a lot yeah I just got an idea for a movie or TV series the momenta list a guy they can tell you exactly what's going on he's a mentalist who's in the moment he knows what what's happening right when it's happening, as do everybody else with any observational skills, but he's really focused.

Okay. I'm setting up the clock. You get 30 seconds, Jeff, to name 14 Tom Hanks movies. I will yell out the numbers as you do it, which probably will sound terrible. That'll be distracting. And be distracting.

But we got to keep track. If Sam and Clark, let's all, okay, I won't do it out loud. Let's all just do it mentally and we'll compare numbers after he's done. Okay. Your cue to begin, Jeff, is you've got mail. And your cue to stop is flash. Oh, no. This doesn't – what are you doing?

Are those off the table now? No, I'm doing the same thing I'm going to do every time I play this game. It's going to drive the contestants crazy. Oh, okay, good. As long as you knew that that would drive us crazy. You know what I mean? It's going to put some people into a league of their own. They're going to go insane.

What are you doing? What do you guys mean? What's happening? What are you talking about? Who's talking right now? Turner or Hooch? Who's talking right now? Turner or Hooch?

You came here today. You were volunteers to try this game. Oh, please. Doug, you're going to give me a terminal case of AIDS. No. Philadelphia AIDS. I don't care where you're from. All right, here we go.

Do no harm. All right, here we go. Do no harm. Ready, Jeff? I guess. Okay, 14 Tom Hanks movies. Volunteers, Philadelphia, That Thing You Do, Forrest Gump, The Burbs, Splash, Money Pit, Bonfire of the Vanities, Apollo 13, Road to Perdition, The Terminal, Castaway, Extremely Loud, and Incredibly Close, Sully, Captain Phillips, A League of Their Own, Sleepless in Seattle, Bachelor Party, Turner and Hooch, Dragnet, Cloud Atlas, shit. Splash. Spl splash splash you already said that's time 5 10 15 20 i had 21

yeah i had 21 so i would definitely take my original bid back thank you very much yeah you were you were much you were right i was so on the money yeah dude i would have immediately started with toy story toy story 2 toy story 3 toy story 4 just Dude, I would have immediately started with Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4. Just like that. That would have taken two and a half seconds to get. Cars, Cars 2. There's a little discrepancy here, though.

I only counted six titles. Because he said Splash so early. And that stopped the clock. Oh, no. is that what happened? It stopped counting when he said splash. Alright, so see, so Jeff got 21, so now we have like

and he was obviously quite good at it so we have an interesting setup now for future players to see if anyone, you know, when having this sprung on them can do more than 21. That was impressive, Jeff. Wow. Well, Sam had

so many questions, I was able to think of Tom Hanks movies for a while. Yeah, I thought that that might be the case as well. We took a long time between what the game was and when you had to start. And I think that's what's going to happen every time when I'm explaining it to people is that some people are going to be stealthily thinking of titles. Yeah. And if they heard this episode,

if anybody does the research before they come on the show, then they're really going to be golden. But even then, as Jeff and I learned in a recent game where we told each other what the topic was going to be golden. But even then, as Jeff and I learned in a recent game where we told each other what the topic was going to be, we still both didn't really study that hard because it ultimately doesn't matter. Yeah.

That's true. We'll be right back with the explosive finale, the Leonard Maltin game after these messages, or one message. Maybe no messages. I don't know the number of messages. Just tough it out. Okay, we're back. And better than ever,

I think. Jeff won that game. Jeff took that down handily. He had to name 15 Tom Hanks' and he came up with 21. During the commercials, I listened to the tape and

all of those are indeed Tom Hanks movies. The first time around, for some reason I thought at one point you said Fargo, but you definitely didn't. When we listened to the tape, that never comes up. I might have said Fargo and Hutch. Fargo and Hooch, I mean.

Damn it. All right, everybody. It's time for some good old-fashioned Lenny Maltz. Don't tell him I said that. It's the Leonard Mton game early edition. By that I mean, there's a new version that you can buy now, but the old game that we play on this show lives on. Jeff and Sam rematch with a new spoiler, Clark Wolf.

The spoiler last time was Aparna Nancherla. Did you feel like she had affected the outcome of the game, gentlemen? I did not. I did not because she played a very honest game, as did Jeff, as did I. That's what you're looking for, some honest play. You know, I like it. I'm fan well i think clark's a very honest player i agree i told her before the show and i wasn't just saying this you know anybody can win this thing it's true especially the smartest person i don't really trust rufus though

game of wits yeah rufus rufus is maybe whispering in my ear a little bit. Any dog that's dressed up like a person cannot be trusted. It's true. Oh man. I hope a thunderstorm hits Atlanta while we're doing this. And then Rufus can't help you. How mean. Oh, I'm the worst. I'm the worst.

Have you, have you tried explaining to Rufus that it's just God bowling? Maybe that'll take the best of two. Damn it. That was mine. No, because that would scare him because he knows the second round is coming. It's just

going to end in a tie. There's for sure going to be a third round exactly oh no mom just put me in the bathroom it's fine you know what though i bet you like dogs probably aren't bothered by bowling on television you know because it doesn't have the same the rattle the noise doesn't have the same texture as fireworks and gunshots. So I bet you, you could turn on loud bowling and the dog wouldn't notice the thunder so much. You're probably right. He also would probably be so bored that he just passed out.

I don't like watching people bowl. Sorry. Oh, but there might be a back injury. Somebody, somebody might get their order wrong. Have to send their drink back the grill is out of chicken fingers these are real athletes we're talking about shame on me

they have a uniform and everything they have outfits alright so we're going to play a letter vault game Jeff gets to go first because of his spectacular Tom Hanks thing that he just did. It was impressive. And thanks for that, Jeff. Thanks for the memories.

Odom shanks. And then it's gonna go to Clark and then to Sam. Of course, we switched the order around. You all know how this works. You get to pick a category, Jeff. Would you like top of the world or

drunk their story or novel virus? Oh. I don't have enough to go on. I'm going to take that middle one. You're going to take which one? The middle one. Drunk

Thirstery. This is movies with alcohol consumption. Excellent. Very specific. Thank you. yeah what yeah well you know i mean that at least you guys don't have to worry about it being a uh like a disney animated movie it's true oh yeah although i guess they drink wine probably in some of those things like in beauty and the beast when they're saying be our guest there's wine flowing i bet Beauty and the Beast when they're saying be our guest there's wine flowing I bet

somebody gets drunk in Sleeping Beauty the original Sleeping Beauty yeah doesn't Winnie the Pooh get like fucked up on meth or something one day that was in the Gritty reboot directed by Christopher Nolan when he sees a bunch

of heffa-lumps and woozles if he's so choosel yeah He's a bunch of heffalumps and woozles. If he's so choozle. Yeah. That's the rest of the song. All right, Jeff, are you ready for your clues? Yes. The year is 2011. Leonard gives this movie one and a half stars. Uh-oh.

He says the movie forgets to include the most important ingredient, laughs. And he also says the movie is lame. Wow. And then he lists 13 names. How many names can you name it in, Jeff, Tate, Tate, Tate? All right, I'm going to say 10.

All right, Clark, the other Tater says 10. Can you go less? I'll say nine. All right, now you know what's happening next. We're going over to Sam Levine. Yeah, yeah. Really make some bold moves in this game. Right.

Yeah. Heavy sigh and then negative four we learned last time that leonard malton sometimes doesn't like good movies that can happen sometimes good movies don't like leonard so i'm sorry doug i i know clark said nine how many names total were there 11 or 10 13 oh 13 yeah i shaved three right off the top sam that's how confident i was all right clark a wolf i named that movie i knew he was gonna do that All right. So we got how many? Nine? Nine. Nine names.

Okay. All right. You like the clues again? Cooking. What? I think I have deduced. I thought I deduced that this is a cooking movie. I said anything about cooking.

No, he left out the main ingredients. Yeah. He forgot the ingredient of laughter, so that's why he thought it was a cooking movie. And there's drinking. No, Leonard talks about ingredients without cooking even being part of the discussion. Oh. Well, then perhaps I did this wrong. But okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Every movie is a cake to Leonard.

That's right. Somebody needs to put some ingredients into this thing. And they forgot laughs. That's the main thing you have to keep in mind. One and a half stars. 2011 is the year and uh he also called it lame and your nine names are and you know you can say stop when you think you know it if you if you do know it all right uh mike tyson Nick Cassavetes, Neerut Sureshiannaya, apologies for butchering that,

Sasha Baris, Jamie Chung, Mason Lee, Jeffrey Tambor, Paul Giamatti, and Ken Jeong. Yeah, is this the hangover part? Okay. Let me think. Two? That is correct. Yay! Woohoo!

Oh, that was fun. I wish somebody would do that on jeopardy just like just pause for a long time too yeah i had to do the math i had to do the math because i remember seeing the first one and i was like wait but i didn't see the second or third in theaters. Sorry, Hangover franchise. You didn't miss anything. They forgot laughs in the second one. They sure did. They were missing ingredients.

You know that cooking movie, The Hangover? The cooking franchise, The Hangover. Okay. Yes. Well, that went better than I thought. All right. It's going to start with Jeff and then head to Sam now. And Jeff gets to pick again. And you get these three categories, Jeff. Would you like Beantown done that?

Or hi, robot. or hi robot or the counselor that gives it away that's not subtle at all I would pick that one I think she's trying to trick you into picking it Jeff at all. I would pick that one. I think she's trying to trick you into picking it, Jeff, just to find out.

No, I'm Beantown all the way. Beantown done that. Alright, Beantown done that. 2013 is the year. What's the category mean? Oh, right. Boston? I mean, yeah. how hard is it to figure that out

it's movies that are in boston all right 2013 is the year three stars from leonard he calls this movie gritty and says it has a twisty story, and he lists 15 actors, actresses, performers, day players. Probably no day players. Fifteen names. It's a Boston movie from 2013. Oh, and it's like a twisty twist. Jeff, if this game were just repeating back the clues you would be winning well one of the games is hey um uh let's see i will say I will say, I will say, nope, hang on.

Let me, all right, I'll say 10. All right, that is a pretty strong opening bid. 10 names out of 15. What do you think, Sam? 10 names out of 15. 15 names. You said it was great. I'll go I'll go

nine names. What do you think of that, Clark? 2013. That was a good year. What do you think of that, Clark? 2013. That was a good year. Good year for my favorite movies. Two of my favorite movies came out that year. The Conjuring.

And no, because neither of them involved Boston. And this is the end. That, Sam, you said nine? Mm-hmm. I will say, I'll say eight. I'll say eight. I can do it in eight. All right, all right.

Now, Jeff, some interesting turning point. I'm sure Sam would love for me to point this out to you that if you challenge Clark and she gets it she will win the game with two points if you guess a lower number

then of course that brings Sam back into the action so if I so I gotta to bid seven. Or lower. Or lower. That's okay. I'm just making sure I know where I'm at. I'm pretty sure you're just outside of Cincinnati.

Eastern time. Eastern time. Eastern time zone. All right. I'm going to say seven. Seven. S-E-7-E-N. That is how you spell seven. Always.

I get checks, like, come back all the time. Sam, what do you think? Well, I'm racking my brain and nothing is coming to it. So Jeff Tate, you are the captain. Name that movie now. All right, seven. Seven names, Jeff. Sam, don't make any noise when you figure it out.

I will make no noise. Clark, make all the noise you want. Thank you, Doug. I will make no noise. Clark, make all the noise you want. Thank you, Doug. I will. The seven names are Ben Falcone, Nate Corddry, Caitlin Olsen, Tony Hale, Tom Wilson, Michael McDonald, Jeff, tell us who, what this movie is. The other seventh name is

Taryn Killam. Oh my God, you got that on one name, Clark? Yes, I did. Ben Falcone. I know exactly what it is. All right, it's The Heat. Yes, it is. Good job. That's why I said that, because I knew Sam would know as soon as he heard Ben Falcone. That is correct. That's just such said that Because I knew Sam would know as soon as he heard

Ben Falcone That is correct That's just such a giveaway name Not unlike Mike Tyson In the Hangover film Yes Okay so Good job Jeff

Yes good job Jeff Man Look out now Because Jeff. Yes. Good job, Jeff. Man. Look out now. Cause, uh, what happens now? Clark gets to pick.

Oh, I haven't. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. She gets to pick and then it goes to you. Jeff or me. Jeff. Oh,

Jeff got challenged by you. So yeah. Right. Let's go to Clark to Sam. Oh, yeah. We Clark to me. Yep. yeah. Right. Let's go Clark to Sam. Oh, no. Yeah, Clark to me. Yep, you're correct. And Clark gets to pick between the following three categories.

Exit through the gift shop. Oh, novel virus again. Or super zeros. Okay. Let's go super zeros. Okay. Super zeros. Let's see what we have in store in the super zeros category.

The year is 2010. Two stars from... What's the category? Leonard Maltin. Don't forget that. Super Zeros is superhero movies Leonard

didn't like. Doesn't narrow it down much. 2010, two stars. He says it starts out engaging, but alas, he doesn't say alas, I did. An orgy of excess. It leaves a bad taste. He doesn't like the way this movie tastes.

And there are 12 names attached. Oh, man. What is your opening bid, Clark? Knowing that Sam is just perched and ready and waiting to get on the board.

Yeah. My opening bid is, I'm sorry, and you said it was 12 names, Doug? Yes. Okay. However many you want. I would say I can do it in nine. Respectable opening bid, Sam. Doug, may I hear the clues one more time, please?

Mm-hmm. more time please start out excuse me starts out engaging but he also calls it an orgy of excess two stars the malton has spoken. Thank you. Rufus. Rufus has entered the chat. And Clark, I'm sorry, what was your bid? Nine out of 12.

Out of 12. I will say eight names. Jeff. Jeff alright I'm gonna say I'm gonna say negative one Clark are you aware of negative names

yes I was given a rundown and now it gets into because Jeff does have a point Yes, I was given a rundown. And now it gets into, because Jeff does have a point, so now it gets into, like, if I want to play shady. Right? Well, I mean, either way, it's not shady to not want Jeff to win right now. Right. But it looks like the best you could probably do is prolong the game if you don't think you know what this is.

I think I do know what it is. Do you think you know the top two of Bill's people? So you could say negative two. Oh, man. I think, man, if it's, gosh darn it. Um. Okay, I'll say, because I think that sam probably knows what it is um okay yes i'll say uh i can name it a negative two all right man i'm back over to you, Sam.

I don't know why you think I know what it is. Yeah, he did bid. He bid like eight names, which is, you know, Sam usually brings the bidding way down if he's zeroed in on it. Well, my theory is that when Jeff posited that he knew exactly what it was, that might have given Sam ideas. Oh, right. Yeah, that's true, because Jeff doesn't know much. Jeff knows a lot.

Clark K., you know. Yeah, no, this would be very silly for me, too, because I legitimately have no idea. You know, comic book movies are not typically a strength of mine. So I couldn't even venture a guess. And obviously, if I did, that would basically be giving it to Jeff. So nothing would – I have no strategic move other than hoping that you get some aspect of this wrong. Clark A. Wolfe, name that movie.

Okay. Now, may I ask – do I have to go now or can okay i'll go now i think it's you just have to say the title of the movie the top build person and the second build person and you know all in that order and i won't say if you're right or wrong about any of it until you're done with all of it. Okay. Oh, man. Okay. The Dark Knight Rises, Christian Bale, Tom Hardy. I'm sorry, no.

Oh, no. 2012. That's what I thought when I said it. I do have a second guess. I am curious about Jeff's, what Jeff's guess would be at this point. I was going to say Iron Man 2, Robert Downey Jr. If that's right, that was my first effing guess, and I'm going to be mad at myself if that's right. Wow. Well, it's kick-ass.

Oh, okay. right um wow well it's kick-ass okay yeah and so you'd have to say uh aaron taylor johnson and christopher mince plas wow wow second build huh yeah somehow he squeaked in there above nicholas cage and then mark strong and chloe grace moretz was new enough that she'd be a little lower down the list yeah wow 20 that is wild 2011 for kick-ass that it feels like man what is time okay yeah i mean you're already you already added a year it's 2010 wait till you see 10 it oh shit all right so um that worked out great in terms of creating a three-way tie oh boy sam challenged clark so jeff gets to choose and then it's going to sam so it's down to these two fellas. Oh, boy. Clark might get a shot in there.

Jeff, are you ready to pick a category? I am ready. Okay. Your first option is the category is 12 or more angry men. Okay. Hang on. hang on that's not the last category i hope not i'm going to have to go back to the earlier ones you guys cast aside coronavirus Oh, here's one. Four Star

General or Lando or C. Okay, I'm going to take Four Star General. All to take Four Star General. All right, Four Star General. I like that choice. These are war movies.

Leonard gave four stars. Leonard gives this movie four stars it's from 1939 and he lists 27 names so there's definitely more than 12 men in this one as well.

27 names. Yeah, 27 names. I really didn't look that hard at that. I should have maybe. He calls this one of the greatest examples of storytelling on film. And then he says it was also followed over five decades later by a TV miniseries.

Really? How many out of 27 would you like, Jeff? I would like let's see. Okay. I would like, let's see. Okay. I would like 1939 four stars war movie. Okay.

So there were a lot less wars to choose from in 1939. So I'm going to go negative one. Sam? Go big or go home, negative four. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. go big or go home negative four oh boy i believe you already are at home but that was big i am home i am home uh what do you think clark do you want to challenge him if he fails you win does he have to name he has to name the co-stars in order? He has to name the

top four billed people in order. All right. Go for it, Bat Sam. Oh, boy. Rolling the dice on this one. Do you know who it is, Clark? I think I do, yeah. Yeah, but five would be just too hard to even name. Yeah, and I wouldn't know the order.

Yeah. Yeah, this is going to be a tricky one. You could see, like I said before, Clark, you could win just by being smart enough to know that you can't possibly answer this. Boy. You know, that's what I'm learning from the current administration is, like, it's almost smartness is a lot about what you don't know.

I mean, you know what I mean. All right. Of course. I agree. That's how smart we are. Go for it, Sam. Okay. The film is Gone with the Wind and the stars would be Clark Gable,

Vivian Leigh, and I'm... Oh, God. I'm still not even decided how I want to spit these next two out. Leslie Howard and Olivia de Havilland. Let's check in with Jeff Tate. Do you think he's correct?

No, I don't even think. I think it's a different movie altogether. Oh. Would you think it was The Wizard of Oz? Yes, Wizard of Oz. That is a great war movie. What do you think it is, Jeff? I have no idea.

I thought it was Gone with the Wind, but I don't think he's right. Oh, okay. I'm dumb. Yes, Sam is right. He got it right. It's like his team won all over again. Oh, my God. My mother is going to be so happy. Oh my god My mother's gonna be so happy

You did it Amazing My mother used to make me watch that movie All the time when it was on TV When I was a kid Yeah I mean I feel like I feel a little sad that You know

It's a movie it exists I've never seen it. People say it's great. It's four hours long. I'm not, I'm not that into that. And then, you know, just now I believe it, uh, you know, just has some stuff in there that's, uh, I, I just rather not entertain at all, you know, um, like the cursing? Too much cursing? Way too much swear words.

I think they say damn and hell. He definitely says damn. Yeah, because he doesn't give a hell. That's right. He says, frankly, my dear, fuck you. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's right. Very famous.

Yeah. So anyway, congratulations to Sam you did it sam you know it took a old racist chestnut to get you there but you did it wow are the fight scenes are the battle scenes like are they good like is it violent? I mean, compared to what we see today, no. No. No, not at all. All right. I mean, I guess maybe I should watch it out of curiosity, but maybe not. It's on HBO Max with a disclaimer now.

Oh, okay. What do they say? This is boring as shit? Parts of it sure are. Boring as shit. Parts of it sure are. Boring as shit and also pretty racist. All right. Sam, do you got anything to plug?

Yes. Immortal, the VOD movie that I talked about last time I was here. It has dropped. It is on VOD. It is on Apple, Amazon, wherever you get your VOD movies. It's called Immortal. It's an anthology of short films all about immortality.

And I am in one of them. I won't tell you which. You'll have to watch them all and find out I'm in the last one. Was that you auditioning to be a new Alexa or something? Maybe. Oh, God. What a plum gig that would be. Oh, my God. I would love it if it was your voice telling me

shit to do instead of her. I'm available. Who do we talk to about that? Cool. The recording session takes forever because you have to say every word. Every word. Literally every word in English. It's never been said.

Free. Let's do it. Well, thank you, dude, for being here. And thank you for, you know, being a good sport about winning. I mean, I was just, you know, Leslie Howard. I wasn't, you knew he'd be in there. He's Ashley, you know, but I didn't know if he'd go above Olivia he's ashley you know but i didn't know

if he'd go above olivia de havelin or not i don't know i heard she sued over that i believe she did she's a very angry person now she yeah she i don't think she won a lawsuit against um you know they made one of those movies about her and betty dav She sued Fox, but I don't think she won anything. Then a few years later, she died. No, she died this year. She died this year. Yeah, it was a few years after she lost that lawsuit. Blame Ryan

Murphy. She died because of the billing order of Gone with the Wind. I heard that was the official cause of death. She was over 100. She held on to that spite. That spite keeps you alive, Doug. Okay, so Clark Wolf, what have you got going on that you want people to check

out? Your socials? Clark with an E, Wolf with an E. You know it so well. I will have a new project coming out soon. So, yes, follow me on Instagram and Twitter because the new thing is going to be cool, very fun. I love it. And Jeff Tate came back to try to, you know, make up for that last loss against Sam.

But, you know, if you're willing to keep trying, you know, make up for that last loss against Sam, but I, you know, if you're willing to keep trying, you know, I'll do this again sometime. Oh, I'm willing. I'm going to take Sam down. You know, it feels like you're right there every time, but Sam just always pulls it out with some Leslie Howard

bullshit. I'm going to hold on to that negative four and live forever. That's what's keeping Jeff alive, his white-hot anger at that negative four. Gone with the Wind. I mean, it was as much a surprise to you as it was to me, Jeff, because I forgot that

Gone with the Wind was in this book of Leonard Moulton reviews that a very nice fan. Oh, right. Cause he, he, when he did the books, didn't, I remember him saying to us years ago that he had to create a whole new book of classic movies because the old movie guide, like it was, there was too many movies in there. So. White hot. All So. White hot.

All right. White hot anger. It's nothing. Jeff, where are you and I going to be performing on Saturday, October 3rd? RushTix.com. That's right. We're doing a, I'm going to headline a internet standup show with Jeff Tate and a couple of other guests. And it's at four 20 on October 3rd.

That's Pacific time. Think, what is it? 15 bucks I think gets you in. And yeah, so come, come, come check us out. Sam Levine, one more question for you Do you recall Do you say the last line in Wet Hot American Summer, the original movie Or somebody else speaks last I don't think that it's me

Do you think you have an idea what the last line is? I don't. It's been a minute since I've seen the movie. Let's make one up. What would they say at the end of it? See you next summer. Oh, that's a really great way to end this one. And it's probably,

you know what? If it's not the end line of Wet Hot American Summer, it's definitely the end line of some movie at some point in time of course it is it's definitely some movie that ends with See You Next Summer unless maybe they all just have somebody shouting back you too or whatever

we might be paraphrasing as it turns out but thank you once more to Clark Wolf, Jeff Tate and Sam Levine. And as always, see you next summer! Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie.

Eyes of gold, his viewing prowess makes him cocky. There's no room in his heart for you because Doug loves movies!
