Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, greenie babies, sticky seeds with 50 acid popper kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug Loves Movies! Hey everybody, my name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you from a hotel room in Houston, Texas. On Monday, October 10th, 2 Oceans 11, Columbus Day. Yay. My guest today is no stranger to this podcast. Please welcome Sean Jordan. Woo! Oh, that's good. You gave yourself a welcome noise. Nobody else is here to do it. Because that is weird for me when it's just the two of us in a hotel room for me to be saying welcome you but i don't know
Starting point is 00:00:49 how else to say it i guess i could say i'm here with sean jordan hey sean what's up you participate in what i like to call the how high is too high episode last week at the Helium Comedy Club in Portland, Oregon. The show that Kevin J. Mills tweeted he tweeted about it saying, How stoned is Doug Benson in his latest podcast? It's like a Michael Jackson phone call to his doctor.
Starting point is 00:01:18 So that was pretty good. Oh, see, I knew something like this might happen. You can't just be having a dirty floor next to you. The room next door has to have a vacuum floor. It's weird to me that they vacuum the floor of every room you stay in after you stay. They're like, I rarely do anything that needs to be vacuumed up. If you can trace my footsteps, it's, yeah. Yeah, I throw everything in the actual garbage.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Yeah. I, you know, maybe occasionally I'll eat like a Quaker Oats nature bar or something that's kind of crumbly, and some of it will get in the... I spilled one. But that's in the bed. I set my plate. It was half full of shit, and so I set this part that was half full on the part of the dresser that isn't the dresser,
Starting point is 00:02:03 so I set it down, and it just went straight onto the floor. You can see the salsa and shit over there, and I ate it anyways. All right, well, so they're going to have to vacuum. Yeah. But in my room, they don't have to bother. If I were, you know, a person cleaning rooms, I would look around and assess whether or not vacuuming needed to happen. I guess you'd get in trouble if you didn't vacuum,
Starting point is 00:02:24 but let's say you're in this room trying to sleep this morning. Like, the service the hotel provides should be not a bunch of noise. Anyway, yeah, it should be quiet. So stop vacuuming, hotels. Next thing you know, I'm staying in a disgusting room because I never vacuum. On the plane to Houston, I saw enough of Mr. Popper's Penguins,
Starting point is 00:02:47 which is probably about half of it, and it's cute. It's cute, but it's especially great if you love watching fake penguins because they never seem real to me, and they do things that penguins wouldn't do. How's Jim Carrey?
Starting point is 00:03:04 He does things that Jim Carrey shouldn't do how's jim carrey he does things that jim carrey shouldn't do i have that hair so he's funny he's good it's just like it's just so weird that he kind of like it's almost like he's taking that step into the eddie murphy zone where it's like he's just gonna make family like a family comedy where you know he throws in a lot of his goofy stuff, but his real talent is how crazy he can be. And why play a guy who's got penguins and is trying to be a good
Starting point is 00:03:31 dad? It's his Mrs. Doubtfire, to be sure. But Mrs. Doubtfire was pretty good, I thought. Okay, well, it's been nice having you on the show. I wouldn't compare it to Mr. Popper's penguins. I've never seen it, but Mrs. Doubtfire. Granted, I was like seven when it came out.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Yeah, yeah. That's what I saw. Mrs. Doubtfire probably has its moments, but the funniest thing that ever happened to Mrs. Doubtfire is when David Cross dresses up as Mrs. Doubtfire on Rested Development and tried to fly and crashed into a coffee table. That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Anyway, but that's TV. What I'd really like to see is Rise of the Planet of the Peng table. That's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Anyway, but that's TV.
Starting point is 00:04:06 What I'd really like to see is Rise of the Planet of the Penguins. That's the movie. That's the movie I want to see. I want to see the penguins finally fight back instead of just being cute. Yeah, I'd go to that. Thanks to Joe Rogan, Sean and I got to go to the UFC
Starting point is 00:04:20 on Saturday night at the Toyota Center here in Houston. and that was amazing. It was. Amazing card, some amazing fights. So dope. So awesome. It was one of the raddest things I've ever gotten. Really fun.
Starting point is 00:04:35 The best seats he's gotten me yet, like fifth row I think we were in. Yeah. And still, I managed to be really angered by the fact that Snooki and the Sitch had even better seats. There are three rows ahead of us. I got to look at Snooki in the situation, whereas if they were behind us, I would have had to turn around and be that guy who was looking at Snooki in the situation. So I got to actually see them.
Starting point is 00:04:56 Right, we got to eyeball the backs of their heads without having to rubberneck at all. We just looked at it. And we watched him take a lot of pictures, and the face he makes whenever a picture is being taken is classic. It's really, it's the most non-committal face you can make. It's like, yeah, I'll take a picture with you.
Starting point is 00:05:16 But, you know, that's as far as I'm going to go commitment-wise. I'll make the sideways V. What does that even mean? Does that mean something? It means I'm an asshole. Sideways. Sideways vagina. In case anything cool happens in the next 15 seconds, I might have to leave this photo
Starting point is 00:05:31 opportunity. It's been pointed out to me and by a few different folks on Twitter. Oh, not and by, just by. It's been pointed out to me by a few folks. I can't read my own writing sometimes that
Starting point is 00:05:47 Skeleton Key I refer to it as being an Asian remake an American Asian remake and that's supposedly not the case that movie came out like 5 years ago didn't it? yeah yeah the argument is that that's the best Kate Hudson movie
Starting point is 00:06:02 that she's ever made and that's not very Kate Hudson movie that she's ever made, and that that's not very good. I like Almost Famous. Almost Famous is a great movie, but I exclude that because my point was that after Almost Famous, she hasn't made a good movie. Same with... I hear Machine Gun Preacher's pretty good, but I think that Gerard Butler hasn't made a good movie since 300.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Bounty Hunter, dude. Oh, you like Bountyounty Hunter? No I don't like Bounty Hunter. There was some controversy on the Portland shows build a title over that whole Predator Predators tomato tomato thing. Yeah yeah. And I to that I to everyone who's been mentioning that to me I say who cares. Build a title is so low stakes that it's funny to me that people... I think it's fun when they write and say, here's what you could have said. That's kind of cool. But quibbling over the rules of it or whatever,
Starting point is 00:06:53 Predators with that title... That was one of the longer ones I've heard. I had fun doing that one. Yeah, it ended up being a good one, but people were quibbling. We spent about ten minutes on the actual podcast quibbling about that. Yeah. Quibbling on Twitter should be called queeting.
Starting point is 00:07:14 It's like queefing, but even less useful. Less gross. Yeah, or gross. At Miles Tracy suggested to me on Twitter that Matthew Broderick should make a movie called I Don't Know How She Does It. The unofficial sequel to I Don't Know How He Does It is what it should be called.
Starting point is 00:07:37 God damn it. I'm so terrible at this. We should re-record this show. Are they making another Ferris Bueller? Did you hear that? I've heard it multiple times that they're going to do one
Starting point is 00:07:48 of Ferris Bueller takes a day off of work or something. Like, Ferris Bueller's day off, but it's of his job. And I've never actually seen any proof,
Starting point is 00:07:57 but I was wondering if maybe you knew anything. Who wants to even see that that guy got a job? Because him having a job is so antithetical to the whole point of that movie and
Starting point is 00:08:07 also him taking a day off from it I guess they could flip it and make it like he's miserable and I mean I don't think Alan Ruck's going to be in it because he's not really much of a name these days Mia Sara I think she's still
Starting point is 00:08:23 cute but regardless like did he marry Sloane and much of a name these days. Mia Sara, I think she's still cute. But regardless, like, did he marry Sloane? And can we blame that Sloane on the Sloane from Entourage? That name coming up again? Because when I saw Ferris Bueller, the first time I saw it, I was sitting there going,
Starting point is 00:08:39 Ferris and Sloane? Fuck you. Like, what are these names? Like, you can't just make up, you know, this white suburban Chicago, they're not making up crazy names like that, unless their parents are super rich. I've heard of Sloan as in I've never heard of Ferris.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Yeah. Except for probably since then, there's probably some Ferrises. Not that. There's that band, Save Ferris. Anyway, I hope they don't make a sequel. That's a terrible idea, because Matthew Broderick is not cool at all anymore.
Starting point is 00:09:07 There's nothing cool about him. I like him. He's a good actor. But watch Election again instead of making a... That's what I want him to do. Watch that movie again instead of making a Ferris Bueller. It's like John Hughes is dead. That's not even fair. With him not around.
Starting point is 00:09:24 I don't want you to yell at me. I was just asking if there were any other... Listen, you asshole. You have to stop this. I'll stop it. I have to apologize to Miles Tracy for saying... I scribbled it down today, as I often do. That's another thing.
Starting point is 00:09:43 On Twitter, when I have a typo or something, people always write, Good one, stoner, or you spelled it wrong, stoner. And I always have to write back, Yeah, people who aren't high spell everything perfectly all the time. I have to think up new words if I don't know how to spell it. If I'm trying to tweet something and it's a word I don't know how to spell, I just rephrase the whole tweet.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Oh, yeah. I don't attempt words I can't spell. just like today i just said happy 9 10 everybody because i'm used to saying 9 whatever uh through the whole bus right above it we're 10 days into october i'm still not used to calling it 10 whatever so i don't know how he does it is the movie that matthew broderick should make and that would have been a funny joke if I'd have said it right. Yesterday, 199 people braved the first rain in Houston in quite a while, to which I say, you're welcome, Houston, that I brought the rain. You brought the rain? You brought the rocket? Yeah, but I also, that also probably kept some people from coming out,
Starting point is 00:10:39 but 199 people did for the show at the Improv at 420. 99 people did for the show at the Improv at 420. Sean Jordan went down in just one round in the Leonard Maltin game against a young lady named Mel, short for Melvin. How many
Starting point is 00:10:58 names was it? She gave you 11 names. 11 names. She called that an Aukerman. She called that a Scott Aukerman move to most of the audience's absolute disinterest. No, there was definitely some podcast fans there, and they probably understood the reference. And she said 11 names to you. The category was No, She Didn't.
Starting point is 00:11:21 Movies with a Contraction. Unfortunately, even with a bunch of Wayans names in there. Well, all the Wayans are in all the Wayans movies. That doesn't narrow it down. The other names would have narrowed it down, and they didn't. I was almost. I was only three years old. Yeah, but what other Wayans movie has a contraction in the title?
Starting point is 00:11:42 I'm going to get you, sucker, I guess. Mo Money, that was the one that I... Mo Money is in the contraction. It's just spelling a word wrong. It's got an apostrophe. It's only two letters instead of four. Oh, it does? It's got an apostrophe.
Starting point is 00:11:53 On the poster it says M-O apostrophe? But you're right. It's not really a contraction because there's not another... There's not a rest of it. I didn't think about that until just now. It's not Morant Money. Moant Money. It's been a whole day and I I didn't think about that until just now. It's not more into money. Low into money.
Starting point is 00:12:06 It's been a whole day, and I still didn't realize that. Yeah. Well, no, yeah, I guess I was way wrong there. Anyway, don't be a menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood was the answer, and I would have made him give the complete answer, to which you say you would have done that. I would have gotten that. You would have gotten that properly. But that doesn't help.
Starting point is 00:12:22 And someone who didn't get picked to play Sophia had a mac and me name tag with a shithead written on the back that with a she and I guess her boyfriend her husband showed me after the show and I like that shithead name so much that I will I'll be closing this episode the ending this episode with that name how we are we doing on time? Oh, we're doing great on time. Last night, Sean and I went to the movies after the 420 show, and we saw Real Steel, the number one movie in the country. That was our excuse for going. It said it was number one and started at the right time.
Starting point is 00:13:02 Did not have to see it in 3D. No. It's produced by Steven Spielberg, which upsets me that Steven Spielberg, you know, puts his name on a lot of stuff that's not, I don't feel is as good as, it's more Transformers Spielberg than Super 8 Spielberg, in my opinion.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Yeah. Like, it just, we already talked about this at length last night, but it just, it's like, I want to see a movie about fighting robots. I don't want to see a movie about a father and son that need to reconnect through fighting robots. Like, I know I understand the humanizing part of it, but it's got to be done right. Like, either make an escapist fighting robot movie or make a goddamn father and son learning to love again movie. Yeah, I mean, there's ways to make it about a father and son without... The way they did it was so bad. It's so bad.
Starting point is 00:13:57 It's so lame at every turn. How mean he is at first. His transition to being... Like, Hugh Jackman's a good actor. The little kid's good. Yeah. He's no Jake Lloyd from Star Wars episode shit. He looks like Jake Lloyd.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Same kid, but a much better actor. And then Lily Evangeline from Lost is not a problem to look at. No. She's not a hassle to watch in a movie. Ridiculous. Yeah. But that was another thing. Her part was just so like, I think she's only in hassle to watch in a movie. Ridiculous. Yeah. But that was another thing. Like her, her part was just so like, I think she's only in it as much as she is because
Starting point is 00:14:29 she's beautiful and she's, you know, people know her. The scenes, the scene where she comes to the big fight, they keep cutting to her going, do this, do that. It's like what you're saying in the stands does not affect the outcome at all. And why do we, why do we keep cutting to you saying these things? And she's crying for half of those shots. She's got one tear. Yeah, if she knows so much about fighting, they should have just made her also in the
Starting point is 00:14:49 corner. That's my favorite part, though, is that they had, in between rounds, they had a stool for the robot to sit on. A fucking stool for a robot to sit on. These robots get tired. The robot has to sit down. So crazy. Anyhow, it's a stool that a robot, a thousand pound robot can sit on, but Hugh Jackman can
Starting point is 00:15:13 just pick it up like it's a fucking dust buster and set it. Oh yeah, it looks like when he's holding it, it just looks like he's holding an empty bucket with some light. And then the robot crashes down on it. Just the fact that they even have a stool there is fantastic. And I think that movie, I might need to do a movie interruption with that one, even though I'm loathe to sit through it a second time. It'd be really fun to sit there and comment during it,
Starting point is 00:15:39 because there's just so much silliness. That was the thing, like watching it, all I wanted to do was talk shit, but you can't. I don't know. Yeah, well, we did a little bit. But the next movie interruption I'm actually doing in Los Angeles is this Thursday night at CineFamily. I'm going to watch the original Fright Night
Starting point is 00:15:59 and see if that holds up. I didn't like the new one. I was going to ask. I thought the new one was okay. Yeah? Yeah, I didn't mind it. I mean, it got a little weird in the middle with the whole David Blaine,
Starting point is 00:16:11 or whatever that guy's name was. You know, they got David Tennant from Doctor Who, which is cool, but then that whole character is just a misfire, and then it just drove me crazy how much crying and angst and stuff there was in a scary movie about two young boys and how they used to be friends and now they're not anymore.
Starting point is 00:16:31 Because one's not a nerd anymore. Like, the nerd culture is at a point where the handsomest boy on earth can play a nerd in a movie. And he doesn't have to have glasses with the tape on it. He can just like comic books. Zac Efron can just like comic books yeah it doesn't zach efron can like fucking comic books it doesn't have to be uh i'm a nerd because i like or don't like comic books uh i'll be joined at the fright night screening by two-thirds of human giants schedule permitting really schedules permitting yeah and i won't say which two of the three but it doesn't
Starting point is 00:17:02 matter you could probably You could probably guess. It's probably guessable. Anyway, weird thing happened, though, during Real Steel last night that I wanted to mention. Yeah, I was going to wonder. There was this weird mass walk-in, like about an hour into it, all these people started walking into the theater and taking seats. And I thought, is this a weird Houston thing?
Starting point is 00:17:30 Because I haven't seen something like that in forever. I've seen, you know, every once in a while you see a group of kids or something walk into a movie way late because you know they're just switching theaters. But this was like 30 or 40 people streaming in. And everyone, they would walk by or sit down or near us,
Starting point is 00:17:46 I'd go, what? It's been on for an hour. That little kid said something. A little kid tried to respond to me. He was like, ba-da-ba-ba-ba. And I was just like, what? So the movie was so boring. It was driving me so crazy why all those people suddenly walked in.
Starting point is 00:18:01 I guess it would have been easy to figure out. The IMAX screen, the fake IMAX screen that they were playing it on, I guess they had projector, like it took a shit, so they told the whole audience, go ahead and go to this other theater. Go ahead and creep everybody out in that other theater. Go back in and watch probably 15, 20 minutes of it that you've already seen again, and then sit through the rest. And they all seem to do it fairly happily.
Starting point is 00:18:29 People clapped at the end of the movie. That was the biggest. Yeah, clapping when it was over. I haven't heard that. I didn't even hear that after when I saw Super 8 or something that is actually pretty emotional. And then at Real Steel, there's people clapping. Well, Super 8, that's where they lose me.
Starting point is 00:18:42 I use that as an example of how great the characters and story is up until towards the end i didn't i didn't care for how they resolved everything didn't like the alien flying away hey there's no reason to spoil it for the people that wait for forever yeah there is isn't it already you should have seen it's probably already on dvd isn't it maybe maybe not i don't know but you should have seen it anyway but i love i love the first first hour or so of that movie, especially the kids and the train crash, I think are all extremely well done. And an example of how it was a throwback to how Spielberg,
Starting point is 00:19:16 with Jaws and Close Encounters and Raiders, had interesting characters first, and then all this amazing stuff going on. I mean, I guess the amazing stuff probably came first, and then all this amazing stuff going on. I mean, I guess the amazing stuff probably came first, but they just did a good job of putting good characters in there, whereas you don't give a shit about anyone in Transformers movies, or anyone in, like in Real Steel, if somebody suddenly, if a robot suddenly tore that kid's head off,
Starting point is 00:19:40 I wouldn't have been that upset. I actually would have applauded the ending. But let me reiterate, though. The kid is good. He's a good little actor. But, man, the motivation of the characters, every step of the way, you're like, why are you saying this? Why are you behaving this way? Why does this kid know everything about robots and how to fix them?
Starting point is 00:20:01 And, like, they don't set that up very well other than him just saying that he plays video games because he knows how to speak japanese at one point yeah what the fuck they don't even he just goes because i play video games yeah oh yeah i learned i mean i learned how to speak japanese playing super mario brothers yeah back when video games weren't as advanced mario kart taught me three languages. Trailer alert. Yeah, it's time to talk about some trailers. We saw a lot of them last night.
Starting point is 00:20:32 It was exciting. The first one was Steven Spielberg's new movie, War Horse. It looks pretty crazy. It looks like a lot of war and a lot of a horse, but I'm telling you, the way that trailer was put together when it said a Steven Spielberg film, I totally goose-bumped
Starting point is 00:20:48 out. I got very tingly about that, so hopefully it'll be good. It's based on a play that's supposed to be great, where dudes dress up as horses. I had some guy after the show trying to explain to me what it was about because I don't know what it's about, and I still don't after the trailer, but the trailer looks awesome.
Starting point is 00:21:04 Well, I mean, what do you mean? Warhorse! about because I don't know what it's about. And I still don't after the trailer, but the trailer looks awesome. So I'm excited to see it. What do you mean? War Horse? It's a horse that fights in war. Or it doesn't necessarily fight, but it helps out in some way. But there's nobody on it. That's what I'm saying. Well, there's a lot of scenes of the horse just running around on its own. I think because, if I
Starting point is 00:21:19 may dare to guess what the plot is, I think it's because he gets separated from the guy who owns him in the war and then he finds his way back home but along the way it makes some new friends now i know what it's about it's like saving private private war horse um and then what other trailers we saw the stupid three musketeers thing where it's like oh puss in boots oh Puss in Boots looks awesome you guys
Starting point is 00:21:46 yeah it does there's a couple jokes in the trailer that don't land but all there's several things in the trailer that made me laugh
Starting point is 00:21:52 out loud yeah there was a lot and made it I will take that risk and see the whole thing yeah for sure because I always thought Puss was a funny character
Starting point is 00:21:58 in those Shrek movies but I got tired of the whole Shrek thing by the fourth part but this Puss in Boots and Zack is a voice in it yeah but I got tired of the whole Shrek thing by the fourth part. But this Puss in Boots is... And Zack is a voice in it.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Yeah. Zack Alphanakis is a voice of somebody. I'll go see that in 3D just to make it fun. I think it'll be... Oh, come on. Don't say that. What? Not in front of me.
Starting point is 00:22:17 I will. Okay. You're bummed on that? I'm going to see it in 2D. Because the fun should be in the writing and the characters and the story. But it's for an event. And not in... Every once in a while a sword is going to come out towards you.
Starting point is 00:22:30 It's a cartoon. In a Puss in Boots cartoon. It makes it more fun to go see a cartoon. I will give you that cartoon 3D is where I do tolerate it. Because How to Train Your Dragon was really cool in 3D. Yeah. And I've only seen... I saw Alice in Wonderland and Transformers in 3D and and I've only I've only seen I saw Alice in Wonderland
Starting point is 00:22:45 and Transformers in 3D and neither one of them oh don't Alice in Wonderland what why is that in 3D
Starting point is 00:22:52 nothing ever I've no idea it was first 3D except for Captain Eo that was the first 3D movie I ever went to well Captain Eo is gonna always be
Starting point is 00:22:59 the best 3D movie well it was cause shit cause shit comes and floats around out in front of your head yeah that never happens in any of these 3D movies.
Starting point is 00:23:07 Yeah, there's like long 3D scenes. Yeah, anyway. Did I mess that up from getting it wet? Oh, I don't know. I'm just trying to open it. Sean brought me an envelope with my name on it, and it says it's a Super Friends envelope, and as I guessed, it's one of those things where you's like stationary that you seal up into a letter and then you send it. My friend Jen gave it to me. She wanted me to give it to you last week, and I forgot it at her house.
Starting point is 00:23:35 This is a girl named Jen. It's a girl named Jen. I was staying with her. Do you think she'd be embarrassed if I just read it out loud? I don't know. What does it say? I won't tell you what you already know, but to confirm, you're pretty rad. All right, this is getting personal. Well, you are pretty rad.
Starting point is 00:23:53 I'll get her back on that. Thanks for being you. Thank you for coming to Portland. Oh, so she was at the show? Yeah. Oh, okay. Did I meet her afterwards? Yeah, I think so.
Starting point is 00:24:05 I was staying at her house since I'm kind of homeless right now. So, yeah. She wrote something and took it back, like a whole sentence and a half that she scribbled over, and then she said, Thank you for continuous creative output. You give hope to the comedians in Crossed Out Again training. She wants to be a comic?
Starting point is 00:24:25 She is a comic. Oh, okay. But still, she's calling herself one in training. Says it again in parentheses after her name. But look for Jen Allen, everybody. And, uh, I can't even place a face to that name,
Starting point is 00:24:41 so I'll have to meet her the next time I'm in town. Oh, sure. Oh, and we saw the trailer for John Carter, which makes no sense. Yeah, that was the futuristic guy, right? Yeah, epic sci-fi sword and sorcery movie from Disney
Starting point is 00:24:56 called John Carter. Like, I like that guy. I like he played Riggins on Friday Night Lights. There's another movie that it reminded me of last night. I couldn't think of it at all. But yeah, and we also saw the Three Musketeers trailer which is ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Yeah, it's just, you know... Uncalled for. Explosions in a Three Musketeers movie is like, that's so dumb. I mean, maybe an occasional gunpowder situation, but... Well, and like that was with the fucking things from the future that weren't around. Yeah, it's like that horrible Wild Wild West movie where they had all these crazy contraptions,
Starting point is 00:25:30 even though it takes place in the Old West. Hey, you, meaning listeners, can play the Leonard Mullen game against Graham Elwood in Flagstaff, Arizona at the Orpheum Theater on November 12th and in Phoenix at Stand Up Live on October 13th. Shall we play a game, Sean? Yeah, let's play one. Let's play it quick. This show's running a little long. We've got to jump in a cab and go to the airport.
Starting point is 00:25:54 We're going to Nashville today to do a show tonight at Zany's Comedy Club. And, oh, I'll also be at Zany's in Chicago on Saturday, October 15th at 4.20. And if you wear a name tag, you might get to play Leonard Maltin against Dan Gabriel at that show. But, again, Nashville, Hashville, I like to call it, tonight. And so I decided to go with movies set in or shot in Tennessee.
Starting point is 00:26:20 And we'll have Sean go first. I've already made some predictions about where this could go because I don't pick movies where one end is a stopper, if I can help it. And set or shot in Tennessee, I think it was both, is a movie called Black Snake Moan. So what have you got for that? You got to start it with moan or end it with black uh black snake mona lisa smart
Starting point is 00:26:50 wow i didn't even see i didn't even predict that one i thought it might i thought we could go black snake moaning mahoney because there's that movie? I've never heard of that. Okay, with Seymour Hoffman, I think. So, Black Snake, Mona, Lisa, Smile. Oh, that Smile might be a tough one there. Smile. Is there a Smiling? I know there was a movie called Smile. It was about a beauty pageant directed by Michael Ritchie.
Starting point is 00:27:24 And it's kind of a I haven't seen it in a long time but I think it's probably a pretty good movie. If you want to go look at an old movie called Smile. Mona Lisa smiling smiley face smiley face
Starting point is 00:27:38 starring Anna Faris. Alright, Black Snake, Mona Lisa smiley right. Black Snake, Mona Lisa, Smiley Face. Black Snake, Mona Lisa, Smiley Face Off. All right. Could have gone Smiley Face in the crowd. But I like Smiley Face Off. Face Off is an awesome movie.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Yeah. I love that movie. It's amazing on many levels because it's parts of it are great on purpose yeah parts of it are great
Starting point is 00:28:09 as a complete complete accident that's so good but after that I just tired of like that was the last time I was willing to watch
Starting point is 00:28:16 a bunch of shots of birds in slow motion and all those all those John Woo staples yeah uh what's John Woo doing now? Has he had a movie lately?
Starting point is 00:28:27 I don't think so. He just quit? Or maybe he's just making movies we don't see. He's just counting money. Blacksnake, Mona, Lisa, Smiley, Face, Off. Off the charts, Off the Record, Off. I can't think of an Off, so I'm going to go on the other side in the interest of time and go with Men in Black Snake Mona Lisa Smiley Face Off.
Starting point is 00:28:58 All right. So you need something that ends in men or begins in off, with off. Company Men in Black Snake Mona Lisa, smiley face off. All right. And then I know there's a band called Bad Company. There was also a movie called Bad Company, I think. Yeah, it was Michael Bay, right? No.
Starting point is 00:29:20 It wasn't Bad Company, though? Bad Boys was Michael Bay. I know. But I swear Bad Company was maybe not Michael Bay. I'm going to check as soon as we're done. I'm going to check right now. Why wait? Oh.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Because I think Bad Company was like a family comedy from like the 70s or something. Bad. But I've got to double check it. This is a long episode oh we gotta get going too Bad Company go Bad Company
Starting point is 00:29:54 Men in Black Snake Mona Lisa Smiley Face Off oh no Bad Company there's been two Bad Companies that's always great when they use the title over again. Maybe three. But the one I was thinking of was Jeff Bridges in 1972.
Starting point is 00:30:13 And then there was one with, there was an Anthony Hopkins Chris Rock movie. That's, yeah. Called Bad Company. Yeah, that's right. So that's, hence the confusion. I can't. All right. So what do you got?
Starting point is 00:30:25 You got anything that ends in company or begins in off? Uh-uh. No. I mean, yeah, ends in bad. Something bad. No, not. Bad is always the first word. Bad teacher, bad Santa.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Yeah, I can't. Blank, bad. Breaking bad. Season finale was last night. Haven't seen it yet. No spoilers, please. Don't put anything in Twitter. I've just... Oh, on Twitter, I've just been reading people talking about how amazing it is.
Starting point is 00:30:56 Yeah, I won't. So I can't wait to see it. I can't think of anything. All right, well, that's a good long one, and we've got to get running anyway. So we end up with Bad Company, Men in Black Snake, Mona, Lisa Smiley, Face Off. Not too bad. You got any plugs, Sean? Anything coming up you want people to go to?
