Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, sweetie babies, sticky seats with 50 azepop 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 movies. This is I Love Movies. Coming to you once again from Largo in Los Angeles. Yes! So great to be back at Largo. It's Sunday, December 18th, 2022,
Starting point is 00:00:54 the first night of Hanukkah. I've got eight chairs on stage and eight guests. No, it's not seven guests, and we're saving a seat for Elijah. We have eight guests milling around backstage we just took the infamous Largo backstage photo for everybody to enjoy at a later date in time and Let's jump right into everybody's favorite part of the show Doug plugs Yeah, I've got shows during the
Starting point is 00:01:25 holiday taint like I do every year. San Diego on December 26th, Irvine on December 28th, and I'll be at Cobbs in San Francisco on New Year's Eve. For all of my dates and deets, go to Douglovesmovies.com. That's Douglovesmovies.com!
Starting point is 00:01:44 Yeah! Go Cubs! Yeah! Go! What? Hit it, Jason. Yay! Sure, give yourselves a round of applause for that amazing... Such an amazing cult after all these years.
Starting point is 00:02:06 And could you hold that up for a show, stand up and show everybody. This is caca on it. It's like a... This is like a Gryffindor scarf or something. Some sort of, looks very Harry Potter to me for some reason. Probably just because it's a scarf and I have no imagination. some sort of looks looks very Harry Potter to me for some reason probably just because it's a scarf and I have no imagination I'm so excited about the
Starting point is 00:02:32 prize bag box crate whatever you want to call it that I have brought this evening it is a crate it's a little crate with some stuff in it. I've got some shirts and jackets from a company called Ghostly Goods. Ghostly Goods Graham on the socials. And they have cute little ghosts on them. And I wear
Starting point is 00:02:57 their stuff all the time. Jackets and shirts. And so the winner's gonna get a pile of their clothes because we don't know what size the winner is at this juncture. So we don't want to make any assumptions except for we also just picked random sizes. So somebody might be out of luck, but certainly something to share with friends.
Starting point is 00:03:19 Here's a weird shirt that I would never wear that was gifted to me. It's like a mesh jersey kind of deal. And I never wear that was gifted to me is it's like you know like a mesh Jersey kind of deal and I you know I never wear mesh anything unless it's very in a very private area and this it says Nickelodeon fantasy football Paramount Plus so so that's a very specialized item. Also, we got some headphones that I received called Ear Force Recon 50. Yeah, this is a gaming headset, and I don't game,
Starting point is 00:03:54 so I'm passing that along. Here's a whole blanket that says Rock of Ages on it. Why would anybody want it? Unless you're cold, you know. Here's a program I got from the premiere of the movie
Starting point is 00:04:09 Glass Onion, a Knives Out mystery. Yeah. And then also in the box, in the crate, is a book called The Saffron Tales. More stories about saffron
Starting point is 00:04:25 than you'd ever want to hear. I don't even care if you're... Recipes from the Persian kitchen, so there you go. Oh, yeah, okay. Everyone was like, that makes more sense. Just stories about saffron
Starting point is 00:04:39 sounded like some real bullshit. Doesn't seem like the greatest jumping-off point for storytelling that has to involve saffron in some way. And then one of my guests this evening, you could probably guess if you've ever seen her artwork, made a beautiful
Starting point is 00:04:56 original that we will discuss with her when she gets out here. But I really love this thing. I'm thinking about keeping it. I mean, I guess since I know her, I could commission something similar some other time, but this one is a tribute
Starting point is 00:05:12 to Sandra Bullock. And she drew one picture of her that seems like she's dead, but no, she's just in a coma. And then she wrote coma next to it, even though the movie's called while you were sleeping she just only had room for coma
Starting point is 00:05:29 sandy Bullock needs to do some shorter movie titles to fit on this sort of thing and then I also I just brought some pins that say Doug loves movies on them from from rockin pins and I'm just gonna oops i didn't mean to there you go you get one there you go i don't want to hurt anybody with these things oh look at that just oh that is very sweet he caught it right out of the air in front of her but then handed it to her anyway do you want one sir okay here you go yeah that's what that does for you a little kind gesture and really pays off you still get one too are you ready to meet our guests this evening oh boy oh boy we have got a rogues gallery of legendary dlM guests plus some others.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Well, we got eight seats and eight guests. I'm very, very happy that they all managed to get here tonight. Please give a big warm welcome to Allison Rosen, Andrea Savage, Eric Edelstein, Jeff Tate, Josh Molina, Kate Micucci, Sam Levine, and Taylor Rizzo, the eight guests of Hanukkah. They're all here. They're all juiced up and ready. Look at them.
Starting point is 00:07:14 Very exciting. There's four microphones that you can pass around amongst yourselves. I didn't want to give eight people eight microphones, because then I'd never get to talk. But with the four, you can share them. Sam's already made himself a microphone captain. And I know you're holding it right out like a good captain would. You're ready to share, captain. I had a dream last night that we all got our own microphones because of COVID. Oh, okay. Well, you know, just the ones you do have, don't lick them. Don't do anything weird with them. And we should be all right, but there are
Starting point is 00:07:54 sanitizing wipes in the wings if you ever feel the need to clean off your business. But now it's time to meet them individually and alphabetically. So the Alison Rosen rule is not only in effect, but it's actually going to benefit Alison Rosen this evening. It's Alison Rosen, everybody! I am so honored to have had such a lasting effect on the show so Doug had me on the show and I did not get to go first because he was then going by last name which is preposterous to me as someone who has an a first name so I made some noise and that's how you get things changed people. Yeah. All you had to do is speak up. Now I'm doing this ridiculous thing where it's alpha alphabetized by first name
Starting point is 00:08:54 and it's really catching on. It's really taken, taken the world by fire, by storm. It's taken it by some weather occurrence of some sort, and I'm proud to be that tempest in a teapot. Allison. Yes. Your podcasts are called? Allison Rosen is Your New Best Friend. And? Childish.
Starting point is 00:09:16 And? Upworthy Weekly. End of tweet. End of plugs. Send. End of plugs. Anything else you want to plug? just my podcast
Starting point is 00:09:26 and well I do have a book out called Tropical Attire Encouraged and Other Phrases That Scare Me so if they need more of this get that crowd loves that title so it's a great jumping off point if you enjoyed the title you're probably going to enjoy
Starting point is 00:09:43 something else inside the book yes to be sure uh it's a treasure trove of stuff that allison wrote down and uh is sharing with everybody yeah it's got it all it's got punctuation it's got consonants it's got vowels oh it's got illustrations as well for real are you kidding me oh that's my kind of book i'm excited all right so as we meet each guest tonight i'm gonna have two questions for them the first one is what are your plugs and uh allison just did hers and then the second question is it's that season so please recommend a holiday film whatever holiday film means to you you know it doesn't have to be a Hanukkah movie per se are there any what's that are there any well some would argue that yes there
Starting point is 00:10:38 are Hanukkah films die hard die hard everyone knows that is of course a Hanukkah film because if you go back and line up the dates Hanukkah was happening during the events at Nakatomi Plaza I did not look that up I do not know that's true fucking I'll tell you something about Hanukkah it is slippery you know Easter's met its match because Easter moves around every year, but it's just one day. But Hanukkah has a whole eight-day thing fucking traipsing around all over December. Last year, it went into January.
Starting point is 00:11:14 It was nuts. You can't track it. My holiday movie is Muppet Christmas Carol. Oh, she took the best one right out of the gate. Let's all go home. We're not validating your parking. Muppet Christmas Carol. That is like, we've just discussed that with somebody else on the show recently, but Michael Caine gives, I swear he gives more in a movie with a bunch of Muppets than he does in a lot of his other films with human actors and mechanical sharks
Starting point is 00:11:51 and swarms of bees. See in that one? And the soundtrack is so good. I cannot wait for it to be relatively cold-ish to start playing it every year oh i see so because i was going to say it's been relatively cold no it's been more than we're in it right now we're in it freezing this is california winter and yeah we're all suffering and uh you know i'll throw the mask on just to keep my fucking face warm and And, yeah. But next week, I saw
Starting point is 00:12:26 I peeked ahead. I'll look ahead at the weather. I don't mind spoilers. And it's going to be 77 next week. Yes! We're already back in business. Burning to death. Yes, Allison? I'm just shocked that people are clapping
Starting point is 00:12:41 for that because I feel upset that it's going to get hot again. And I'm also upset that it's this cold. You need it, right? You need to write it like 70 or 68, somewhere around there at all times. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:56 You know what? If I see that it's in the sixties, I'm happy with that. Okay. Right now it's just too cold, but then I also don't want it to be hot. I don't know. be hot yeah sun goes down early too so that makes everything colder everything's super cold yeah people do your
Starting point is 00:13:11 does your audience love when you talk about the weather they love it so much that's why i dragged this out right now because i'm just thinking of the listeners that are in the fucking coldest places right now and they're like, move the fuck on from this warm weather talk. I hope your whole goddamn state burns to the ground. I just like when it's 60s. I don't like when it gets chillier than 60. I can't stand it.
Starting point is 00:13:37 It's too cold. No, but it's just a common occurrence. You move to California. I don't care where you're from. You suddenly are like everybody else in California. You just become a cold weather wussy. Yeah, you heard me. I'll fucking call you a wussy.
Starting point is 00:13:58 All right, so Allison Rosen, we didn't talk about your movie that you recommended at all. Who's your favorite Muppet character in that one? Oh. Who stands out for you? Goodness. I apologize.
Starting point is 00:14:16 I'm sorry about the follow-up question. I didn't mean to. There's a lot on the line here. You know, I, I'm having trouble choosing a favorite, but I am remembering a scene or where they say even the vegetables hate him. And then they cut to like a couple of vegetables and they're like, yeah, that's, that's my memory.
Starting point is 00:14:42 I think I like the animatronic vegetables. I like that too. Yeah. Yeah. I like any little cute little thing that the Henson Company puts eyes on is always, it's always worth the trouble. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:14:55 Yeah. Inspired Marcel the Shell. Do you see that? No, I need to. Yeah. Depressing, I hear. Yeah. Do you hear I hear. Yeah. Did you hear that?
Starting point is 00:15:07 People laughed because it's true. Because it's depressing? Yeah. Well, maybe I don't need to say it. I don't want to be sad. Andrea? I saw. I saw.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Didn't it seem like he was about to throw to you? Yeah. No. No, I was going to say, speaking of depressing, I saw Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio today. Oh. And that is some fucked up. That's like, they like, oh yeah, Pixar, you always open with a child dying or losing their parents.
Starting point is 00:15:39 You always open with that. We'll do the same, but we'll close with it as well. We'll get you at both fucking we'll close with it as well. We'll get you at both fucking ends. It is so sad. I didn't say who. A sad person. Did somebody's parents die? Somebody.
Starting point is 00:15:54 Okay. It could be anybody. Pinocchio hangs out at a lot of hospitals. It could be the monkey. I don't know. I was high when I watched it. Don't trust my take on it all right well anyway thank you for being here Allison that's an excellent first uh first uh
Starting point is 00:16:13 choice and uh but speaking of depressing it's been a long time since I've seen our next guest, and that is depressing. Very nice to see you, Queen of Tulsa, Tulsa. Star of Tulsa King on Paramount+. It's Andrea Savage, everybody! Hello! I have a thought with the order that we introduce people.
Starting point is 00:16:45 I'm thinking we go alphabetical, skip one. What do you mean? I'd love to get the Andrew Savage rule to outsmart the Alison Rosen rule. So we start with the A, but we don't start with the AL. We go alphabetical, skip one forward. But you don't have to...
Starting point is 00:17:04 I don't like that idea okay allison is on the record it's not liking that idea and i but it's seamless oh but this isn't this isn't the tough part yeah this is there's no there's no penalties for uh you know you can't do anything wrong at this point so we don't need to skip you no we're not skipping me we'd start with me we'd skip her how do we skip her it's already happened i'm saying in the future okay next time next time you started the allison rosen rule where you start that way next time okay i'm making a mental savage rule next year hanukkah starts on December 7th so
Starting point is 00:17:46 I'll see you then see you then look who started we'll start with you what aside from your the show you're on Tulsa King got renewed for another season congratulations on that. Thank you. That's very exciting. It's been a wild ride. So yes, you've got to go back and make more of that. Yeah, apparently. In Oklahoma.
Starting point is 00:18:13 Is it all done in Oklahoma? We shot the whole thing in Oklahoma. Not in Tulsa. We shot Oklahoma City for Tulsa. Oh, okay. If you're from Oklahoma, it's a big problem. Why?
Starting point is 00:18:25 Well, because the people from Tulsa don't like that we shot in Oklahoma City because it doesn't have the things and then it's not authentic. Yeah, they're sitting watching the show going, that's not the street corner I walk by every day. These liars. Oklahoma City's big, though. Production's really picking up there. It's picking up there.
Starting point is 00:18:44 It actually was kind of a fun city. It had like a little bit of a Austin feel, like a mini Austin weirdly. Yeah, it was like a touch of purple in a sea of blood, blood red. All right. Is there anything else you'd like to plug in addition to that? Because when we get to the game part, if you get eliminated, there's no time for plugs. We just ask you to you know take your knives and go yeah
Starting point is 00:19:07 no Tulsa King Paramount Plus and I'm sorry is on we didn't get to finish season three but it is on HBO Max still thank you
Starting point is 00:19:23 watch it while you can. HBO Max is where all the great shows are disappearing. Exactly. From HBO Max, so get to it right away. But yeah, I think that's it. All right. Yeah. And could you please recommend a holiday film?
Starting point is 00:19:40 I hate stuff like this. You hate recommending stuff? Yeah, I just... Because you don't like the pressure of like. It's the pressure. Why, what does it matter to you whether somebody. Yeah, and it's like if I don't feel passionate about it. It's not your responsibility.
Starting point is 00:19:52 And it's like if I don't feel that passionate about it, do I act like I feel passionate about it? I mean, I'm a very serious dramatic actress now, so you won't be able to tell that I'm acting. You know what I actually did? It's so cheesy and lame, but you know what? I'm just going to admit it. This is just who I am.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Accept it. When Harry Met Sally. Okay. I will watch it every time it's on. I love the Christmas scenes. I love the New Year's where he goes running through the street, and he goes and finds her, and I like when they get the tree. I've always imagined I would spend Christmas
Starting point is 00:20:25 in New York City because of that movie. I never have. Not even once? No, I'm from L.A. Yeah, all right. B. and R. Just get in a plane and go out there sometime. It's nice.
Starting point is 00:20:39 New York City is awesome in the Christmas time. I was just there this week. Oh, well there you go. Yeah, and it was lovely. But I didn't get a tree. I didn't get to drag a tree uncomfortably heavy through the snow awkwardly but adorably. Just watch The Holiday. I hate that movie.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Cameron Diaz. Oh, that's a controversial statement because some people love The Holiday. Yeah, that movie sucks ass. I hate that movie. What? It's just terrible and it annoys me that people are like oh, you gotta watch the holiday and I'm like
Starting point is 00:21:09 I finally did. I hadn't seen it and I was like I'm gonna watch the holiday and I was like this sucks so hard and I watched it on a plane when things usually are better than they should be and I still hated it. I was so mad. Why would Jack Black be with that lady? Like everything about it. I was so mad. Why would Jack Black be with that lady?
Starting point is 00:21:26 Like, everything about it. Wait, everybody's complaint is the opposite of that. People are like, how did Jack Black get her? Everything about that movie sucked so hard. I hated that movie. Yeah. I'm laughing because I'm not a fan, but I also know better than to stick my neck out that far.
Starting point is 00:21:49 I'm not that a ginnit. But wait, so what movie did you say? When Harry Met Sally. Oh, right. Jesus. I got so caught up in the hate. I haven't seen Doug in a decade, we decided. It's been a while, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:04 And I was like, what have you done? He's like, all I've done is grown my hair out. That's it. But it looks great. Congrats. Mazel tov. All right, When Harry Met Sally. Because that's also a good New Year's Eve movie.
Starting point is 00:22:21 Great New Year's Eve movie. Yeah, running through the streets. Probably the number one New Year's movie. Because New Year's doesn movie. Yeah, running through the streets. Probably the number one New Year's movie. Because New Year's doesn't have a lot of... It's got two Poseidon adventures. Another shitty New Year's Eve movie that had a lot of stars in it. There was a movie called New Year's Eve.
Starting point is 00:22:35 Yeah, terrible, right? Made by the late, great Gary Marshall. Oh, that's right. It was like his last hurrah. Was it? I think it might have been. He went hurrah and then fell down dead.
Starting point is 00:22:48 What a way to go. I was in that movie. What? You were great. No one knows, though. Oh, I see. That would have been smart to just sneak that in there. But I think some people wouldn't have believed you, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:23:03 But you tricked Andrea for a second there. I'm a good dramatic actor. Yeah. You could be the other king of Tulsa. You and Sylvester Stallone. He'll kill you. He'll kill me. Our next guest, alphabetically by first name,
Starting point is 00:23:21 doesn't have to... Skipping one. What? Skipping one. Why do you keep saying that? by first name. Skipping one. What? Skipping one. We'll see about that. He doesn't have twins, but he might be peaking right now. From Twin Peaks,
Starting point is 00:23:41 it's Eric Edelstein! Hi, everyone. thank you thank you wife people love you man yeah a lot a lot of wee bear bears fans in the crowd yeah yeah if you got your funkos let's get it done yeah. And a lot of fans of the movie Green Room. Yeah. Yeah. Have you seen that movie, Jeff? I have seen it.
Starting point is 00:24:15 Yeah. I'm a big fan. I like to fall asleep to it. Oh, man. That's a first. It's just real calming. All right. that's a first it's just real calming alright let's not talk about that movie anymore it's upsetting that movie
Starting point is 00:24:34 a little too prophetic yeah well I mean you're still with us I'm still here another spoiler oh somebody has a question for Eric from the audience. Thank you. Better? Thank you, friend.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Thank you. It's a little. Appreciate it. Now, it's a little. I think you got a little bit of a wire issue there. Look at that. The Tulsa Queen. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:03 I, you know, one less microphone, I'm all right with that. Works out all right for me. But thank you. It was a sound technician in the audience caught what was happening. Someone was in the AV club in high school and listened. Bless you. He alerted us. I thought I was just a super fan of Eric's.
Starting point is 00:25:23 I was just going to dive right in with a question. I'm here for it. Please. What are you working on? What do you got to plug? Well, everyone should watch my friend Sam and I here as the worst radio team in 1970s Los Angeles on Minx. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:41 Disappearing soon from HBO Max. Catch it while you can. I think we might have a new life. We'll see. I know you continued shooting even after being canceled. Yeah. So that's always nice when that happens.
Starting point is 00:25:55 They did a cool contract thing where they were allowed to take it somewhere else because some of these other tax breaks, they just have to kill the show off completely and make sure it never airs, which is kind of mean to creators that put years of their life into it, but I think Minx will live again and you can watch Sam
Starting point is 00:26:10 and I be awful people. Yeah, and if Minx doesn't keep going, we'll just do that for funsies. Pico and San Vicente will just be there just being jerks. Come on out. I love it. Oh, now the sound guy is back. Thank you, friend.
Starting point is 00:26:25 That was the mic that the initial problem was with, sir. It's not like you got a new bad microphone. But I think somebody's back there working on it. But anyway, Eric, thank you for being here. And could you recommend a family, it doesn't have to be family, but a holiday movie? I have a good one that I just discovered, and that one is A Holiday Affair.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Right? So, Doug, you'll love this. We got some supporters in the audience. Thank you. Appreciate you, friend. Robert Mitchum, underrated. Acting did not start with Brando. We got Jimmy Stewart, we got Mitchum,
Starting point is 00:27:02 we got everyone else. William Holden, come on. But basically, after Robert Mitchum had his marijuana bust, they wanted to clean up his image. So they put him in a Christmas movie. And it is so goddamn good. It is seriously. Robert Mitchum was literally a railroad hobo.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Rode the rails, got shot at in Louisiana, and was still smoking weed every morning and they dropped him in a Christmas movie in 1949 and it's incredible I couldn't believe it it's like where did this guy came from another planet but he's in this nice it's on TCM and it's one of those that's starting to air more often because I think people are interested in the weirdness of it all I also want to give a fun Christmas fact. The martini house from It's a Wonderful Life still stands. It's in La Cunada.
Starting point is 00:27:51 And remember, Donna Reed and Jimmy Stewart bring wine and salt and bread. And the original studio was torn down, but the martini house lives. So you can go drive by it as I did recently. And I really creeped out the lady there. But please go. Yeah, go watch A Holiday Affair. You'll love it. He's super stoned, but he's charming and wonderful.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Eric's just out in front of somebody's house. Nice to meet you, martini house. Tell me some of the stories about the film made here. It's a Wonderful Life, is that what you said? Yeah, yeah, it's there. None of the original sets are there, but the mart Life. Is that what you said? Yeah. Yeah. It's there. None of the original sets are there, but the Martini House lives. Right on. Right on. Yeah. What's the name of the
Starting point is 00:28:31 Mitchum thing? A Holiday Affair. A Holiday Affair. You're gonna love it, friends. Truly. Does somebody have an affair or is it more like just a gathering? Oh, no. It's hinted at. It's hinted at. It's Janet Leigh and he, you know, it's the charm of Mitchum. She goes to return a train set, and the magic happens,
Starting point is 00:28:48 and then a relationship is in question because he's a perfectly nice guy, the guy she's with, but it's Mitchum, and he's stoned in a railroad hobo and just getting off that arrest, so what's not to love? All right. Who I think is still alive. Yeah, and then the little boy's like 84 years old. All right, let's remember that if you don't have a microphone, no one listening to this podcast is going to hear your part of the conversation.
Starting point is 00:29:13 I appreciate you, friend. So what about the little boy and there is a surviving member? Just like I realized last night, there's one surviving member of the Wild Bunch. Yeah, pretty good, huh, friends? Yeah. Getting your money's worth tonight what do you google in your free time
Starting point is 00:29:28 too much friend I have an amazing wife who's very forgiving you know is that like locked you have like a who's still alive from bad news bears a lot thank god a lot I'm gonna have to deal with that grief in about 15 years. But right now we got over 60% of that cast.

Starting point is 00:32:04 recommend a quote-unquote holiday film it's first of all I love December because the other 11 months nobody thinks I look like Santa it's never as complimentary as Santa it's always much like, are you that railroad hobo with the pot arrest? And I'm like, that's Robert Mitchum from an earlier story. And then December is very friendly. People are like, you're Santa. Then they tell me what they want. And, you know, I try to get it for them.
Starting point is 00:32:37 I do what I can. Like, you'll just run to the store right then? Yeah, just run in. Like, just say, hang on a sec. I'll be right back. Is it in there? What size? Yeah. Hey, we're outside a bodega. What do you need? Yeah. run to this door right then like just hey hang on a sec i'll be right back is it in there what size yeah hey we're outside a bodega what do you need yeah and when i was in high school my parents uh
Starting point is 00:32:51 like went out of town on christmas and left me and my brother home by ourselves and uh so i started a thing then where i watched tommy lee jones movies every christmas like on christmas day okay so when you said christmas movie the first thing i thought of was volcano where I watched Tommy Lee Jones movies every Christmas, like on Christmas Day. Okay. So when you said Christmas movie, the first thing I thought of was Volcano. I watched Volcano every Christmas Day for the last, like, at least 15 years. And then earlier when I was in high school,
Starting point is 00:33:18 there was a few years in between where I didn't. High school wasn't 15 years ago, is what I'm saying. But I watched Volcano every... It's such a good movie. Some of it is near here. There's that, you know, the cop and the... Yeah, it's a whole Miracle Mile situation. That's where the volcano is.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Yeah, the tar pits. It's right over by the tar pits. Every time I come to LA, I go to the tar pits, and I go, Volcano was filmed here. I stop by, it's like the martini house. The tar pits. Every time I come to LA, I go to the tar pits and I go, volcano was filmed here. I stop by, it's like the martini house. The tar pits are still here. That's why I say to my friends, I'm like, what are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:33:53 Wait till you see the White House and you start yelling about Deep Impact. That's all I think. I saw this blow up. You're seeing all the places where movies were shot. You don't care what else happened there. Don't care. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:11 So that's, I put that down. Volcano. Yeah, volcano. That's your official answer. That is my official answer. It's under two hours. Yeah. You know, I don't know what's going on with the Home Alone franchise,
Starting point is 00:34:24 but I feel like I'm looking at the next Wet Bandit. I think you're perfectly dressed for the part already. I'll kick the shit out of that kid. There's no 10-year-old that could take me on the planet that you could book it. Joe Pesci just came out. Just recently, he didn't come out. He said Hey, I'm out!
Starting point is 00:34:49 Hey, I'm out! No, he Joe Pesci recently said that his head got burned in that scene where they set his head on fire. Like, what else is happening to your head right now besides it burning? All these
Starting point is 00:35:03 years later, he's like like my head got burned probably sounds older than that that was a more youthful version of him but all right so you're down i got you down for volcano jeff yeah i don't know if you're gonna regret it later but uh that's your choice for a holiday movie. And let's move on to our next guest. All I wrote down for his intro is, something funny here about scandal. It's Josh Molina, everybody! Thank you.
Starting point is 00:35:42 Is this one on? No rhythmic clapping, no chanting of my name. All right. So be it. Thank you for lovingly ghettoizing me by bringing me out once a year come Hanukkah. And then forgetting about me for the ensuing 12 months. That's not what's happening. This is my first formal Hanukkah show in many years. The one time that I did a Hanukkah show before, it was called The Eight Guests of Hanukkah, but it was three
Starting point is 00:36:05 people, like Paul F. Tompkins and Dan Van Kirk and somebody else playing, oh, James Adomian, playing eight different characters amongst them. So it was just three people sitting there in front of the audience but they were... Three non-Jews playing eight Jewish characters.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Well, they weren't even Jewish characters. It was really, it was cultural appropriation without actually appropriating anything. Just like, just saying the name and then moving on from there. But I do appreciate you coming out for this. What do you have to plug? I was on the West Wing 20 years ago.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Yes. You can catch it on HBO Max. All the episodes are streaming for a couple more minutes. Yeah. You got a lot of catching up to do if you're behind on West Wing. And I'm going to do a play in March that I can't talk specifically about,
Starting point is 00:37:02 but I'm very excited. And you came and saw me in a play. By the way, it is traditional if you enjoy your friend in a play to stay around till the very end and say hi afterwards. It's true, you're right. If you don't like a play or your friend's performance,
Starting point is 00:37:16 often you will leave and then text the person. That's when you leave, yeah. So that's what I was trying to do, like prank you into thinking I didn't like it. It worked. Mission accomplished. I didn't like it. It worked. Mission accomplished. I didn't completely ghost you though. I sent you a message saying I know that I should be sticking around and saying hi after,
Starting point is 00:37:33 but I'm not. And you took video from inside the theater, which was very illegal, but I enjoyed it. I took the video and I yelled Hamlet several times while I was doing it. But Josh was in a play at the Old Globe Theater in San Diego. Which should be called the New Globe. Yeah. In fairness. The Old Globe, they keep it in London.
Starting point is 00:37:58 One did blur down. Yeah, yeah. It blurred to the ground. And I was living in San Diego when the first one burned down. I have an alibi, but they rebuilt it, and they have three stages now in a cute little area, and one of them's in the round, and that's what we talk about when we talk about Anne Frank.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Which sounds a lot less funny than it actually is. Yeah. Because it has Anne Frank in the title a lot less funny than it actually is. Yeah. Because it has Anne Frank in the title. Yeah, yeah. I think it might have affected ticket sales. But the jokes you say about her.
Starting point is 00:38:31 It's a comedy. Yeah, it's a very, very funny show. But look for Josh in another play that he cannot say anything more about. But it's also Chewy.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Oh. I'm just going to keep it all right on brand. Alright. Fair enough. And would you like to recommend a holiday movie? I'm going to keep it on brand by recommending the as yet unmade Mel Gibson joint
Starting point is 00:38:58 Judas Maccabeus. Which is a pet project. I mean, Google it. You would think the last person to make a Hanukkah film would be a filthy Jew hater like Mel Gibson. Right.
Starting point is 00:39:12 But it turns out that anti-Semite Mel Gibson, homophobic, misogynist, domestic batterer Mel Gibson, has a pet project, which is the Judah McAbee story. And it makes more sense if you scratch under the surface, the shiny surface of Hanukkah and get to the real story, which is, I hate to blow the lid off of Hanukkah, but I'm going to do it. Most people think it's
Starting point is 00:39:39 the great Jewish Maccabean revolt against the Seleucid Greek Empire. I assume you're with me. The Syrian Greeks in the second century BCE, before the common era. Indeed, of course, of course, of course. They desecrated the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, and the Hasmonean revolt was against the Seleucid Empire, but they also killed their brethren, the Hellenized Jews that had assimilated. So really, Hanukkah, and sir, you have a keypad in the front row. Back me up on this. Hanukkah is about a civil war, and it is celebrated by legions of Jewish Americans who don't recognize that they would have been among those slaughtered by the heroes of the story but still enjoy Hanukkah I mean I love it would we consider passion of the Christ a Hanukkah movie it's more of a
Starting point is 00:40:37 Christmas movie yeah well but it starts Hanukkah and then it flips. It's got Jews in it, but they don't come off great. They don't have to come off great to be a Hanukkah movie. They are enthusiastic Christ killers in that film. Wait, so you really want me to write down that thing you were talking about? Yes, Judas Maccabees. How do you spell it? And by the way, if he makes it, I will read for it.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Guy's gotta work. Alright, I'll look it up later. I'll follow up on that one. Who's next alphabetically? Oh, thank you for asking. Oh, yeah, I know who it is.
Starting point is 00:41:27 She lives in Guillermo del Toro's cabinet. It's Kate Micucci, everybody. Hey, Doug. Hi. It's so much fun to be here. Oh, good. I'm having such a great time. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Yeah. fun to be here. Oh good. I'm having such a great time. Oh good. Yeah. That's the, that's we all got together just to give you a nice night out and to enjoy your artwork that you
Starting point is 00:41:56 Should we talk about it? Because back in the day we used to have the prize bag where all the guests would bring stuff and so Kate went to work on this before I had a chance to tell her don't bring anything but I'm so glad that she completed it
Starting point is 00:42:11 and brought it and yes tell us what's going on in this piece of art well okay so I was starting to just I wrote Doug loves movies and then I was like popcorn movie tickets and then like ran out of ideas for what movies, like visuals for that, so then I just started making Sandra Bullock movies in there.
Starting point is 00:42:32 So there's Speed and Speed 2, and I put an engagement ring for The Proposal and a crown for Miss Congeniality, and then I have her floating in space. What was that movie? Gravity. Gravity, yeah. Oh, that's cute.
Starting point is 00:42:50 While You Were Sleeping is my very favorite Sandra Bullock movie, but I couldn't fit that title, so I just wrote Coma. Coma. And the heat, there's a little fire. What's the fire for the heat? That was before I decided to make the Sandra Bullock theme,
Starting point is 00:43:05 so I just went crazy with palm trees. Birds and trees and movies. Yeah, the net. There's a net there. Yeah. Yeah. Little net. And then, yeah, in Bird Box, Sandra Bullock's got the blindfold on.
Starting point is 00:43:19 I didn't see that one. She kind of looks like the Scales of Justice lady. But anyway, this is beautiful, and somebody's going to take it home tonight. Sweet. Cherish it. You're in one of the episodes of Guillermo del Toro's show, what's it called?
Starting point is 00:43:40 The Cabinet of Curiosities. Yes, and the episode I'm in is called The Outside, and it's a Christmas episode, so it's still very relevant this season. Yes. Yeah, so throw that on like on Christmas morning. Yeah, you know what? It's a really heartwarming tale.
Starting point is 00:43:58 If you want something a little freaky to watch on Christmas, it's a really great thing to watch, and Martin Starr, who also is in Tulsa King, plays my husband, and Dan Stevens is in it and it's really fun Yeah, I play a lady who wants to be beautiful and then she gets obsessed with this beauty cream and things don't go so great You know, why can't Guillermo make one thing Where everything's fine the whole time. You know, minor conflicts, low-key.
Starting point is 00:44:29 His Pinocchio is just, anyway, I talked about that earlier. The one where Geppetto dies? Who said he dies? I didn't see it, but I feel like you ruined it. No further comment. Exactly. You know he's old, right? He's an old guy the whole time.
Starting point is 00:44:55 He never stops being old. All right, Kate, what is your... Oh, so that's a plug. Would you have anything else to plug? You know, you went backwards a little ways. have anything else to plug that is a plug you know going you went backwards a little ways five years ago
Starting point is 00:45:08 I put out a Christmas song called You Got a Bike not many people have heard it but it is on Spotify yeah so just go find it on Spotify it's really weird
Starting point is 00:45:19 boost those You Got a Bike listens yeah I like it thanks and holiday recommendation do you have one? My very favorite Christmas movie is Christmas Vacation. All right.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Yeah. It's full of great quotes. And I love Beverly D'Angelo. I think she's just amazing. She is a terrific actress. That's National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation I learned from Sam tonight Because we talked movies beforehand That for $35,000 you can slap National Lampoon's
Starting point is 00:45:51 On any film That's what the price was 20 years ago I don't know what it is now Yeah, it's gone down Can you do it retroactively? Like, for $35,000, can I have it be called National Lampoon's
Starting point is 00:46:11 Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio? If I earn enough over the next year, I'm going to rename one of my kids. It's going to be National Lampoon's Isabel Molina. Because I make that kind of money. Tyler Perry's. Guillermo del Toro's.
Starting point is 00:46:37 Ruth's Chris. All right. Who's up next? thank you kate thank you great artwork i took pictures of it before i have to give it away so that i can you know share it with people on the internet and whatnot um the ma'am, Lil Wolverine, Lohrgan, whatever you want to call him. It's Sam Levine, everybody! Oh, hello.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Thank you. Is this microphone working? Great. Great. Thanks so much. Yeah, you're checking with our backup sound tech? Yep. Yeah, He's on it. Actually, he's my buddy. He follows me everywhere to make sure everyone can hear me. It's very important to me. I'm not a tall man. You know, I got to speak up. Oh, my God. How's it going, Sam?
Starting point is 00:47:38 It's good, Doug. How you doing? I'm doing all right. I'm glad you got a microphone that sounds good. Thanks, pal. We got a crack team here at Largo. It takes care of us. I appreciate them. Yeah. Yeah. Someone applauded.
Starting point is 00:47:50 Someone tried to get the applause going. Sam, what's going on with you of late that you could promote? Well, I mean, a couple months ago, as you know, I got married. I can't really promote that other than to just like brag about it. Hey, get married, everybody. Because I really love my wife. you know, I got married. I can't really promote that other than to just like brag about it. Hey, get married, everybody. Because I really love my wife. Sam Levine recommends getting married.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Thanks. Yeah, I do. Especially if you find someone smarter than you. Oh, hell yes. Yeah. Yeah. There's no question.
Starting point is 00:48:17 Right? I don't know. She's so smart. I don't know how I fooled her into marrying me, but I'll leave that one to the judge. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:23 She's got one dumb spot. Just one. Right? Just that one blind spot and the rest of it is pure brilliance and she probably knows more trivia than you. There's no question she does. Yeah. She's here tonight, guys, but we're not gonna
Starting point is 00:48:39 make her do something. Yeah. No, so that's what's going on. And then Minx, they canceled that. So that's been fun. But I did learn from Eric tonight that it probably is going to land somewhere else. And that's very exciting. Oh, you didn't know that prior to this evening?
Starting point is 00:48:55 No, he's my man on the inside. This is breaking news. Yeah. His real name is Eric Edelstein Minx. You know that he's a ridiculously optimistic person, right? I did know that. Yeah, you might want to keep that in mind when you're
Starting point is 00:49:09 factoring in the continuing success of that show. That show really is terrific and you guys are so funny on it. Thanks, dude. So what's your holiday recommendation, Sam?
Starting point is 00:49:30 It's much like Jeff Tate associates volcano with Christmas. I'm going to recommend the mini driver Chris O'Donnell classic Circle of Friends. Yeah. Yeah. Because, you know, nothing says Christmas to me like Dublin in the 50s. Nothing says Christmas to me like Dublin in the 50s. And what the hell's going on back there? Some sort of unwanted pregnancy in that movie or something? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:54 You remember it. That's fun. Yep, it's super fun. Very Christmassy. I mean, it covers a lot of time, so at some point the characters celebrate Christmas. Oh, okay. So that's got to count, right? All right.
Starting point is 00:50:04 Sure. Okay. Okay. Oh, okay. So that's got to count, right? Alright. Sure. Okay. Circle of friends. You got it. Alright. Thanks, Sam. Hey, that's been my absolute pleasure. I knew you'd have like a couple of sentences to say about
Starting point is 00:50:20 the movie, so I used it while you were talking as an opportunity to jump on the computer because a little thing had popped up on the logo on the screen up there. Some sort of little thing saying, do you want to do this now? And I clicked on later. Okay. And I fixed it. That's the most AV
Starting point is 00:50:35 tech thing I've ever fucking done in my life. Where was our guy on that? I don't know, but I saw a situation I took care of. He's just A, no V. I see. He's in the A club. There's no V club in that school. They couldn't afford it.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Sam, I'm not saying that you're... Also sounds like ass and vagina. Sam, I'm not saying that you're part of the show is getting a chilly reception, but Kate put on a coat. That's tough, but fair. I mean, I talked about a movie it's not really christmasy you know i bragged about my wife but i'm the only one who gets to be married to her that's fine kate i understand it doesn't have to be christmasy but do you did you did any hanukkah movies enter
Starting point is 00:51:19 your brain i mean there's the one there's eight crazy nights that's the one about it i cannot name another okay i know a hallmark finally did a a hanukkah movie oh what was that called i i don't know what hanukkah my brother-in-law is the one who pushed the hanukkah movies at hallmark and he produced all the like all the hanukkah movies that they've done. That's about time. You hear that, Josh? Yeah. The Jews deserve terrible movies as well. That's right, we do. Side note, just occurred to me,
Starting point is 00:51:52 if I had 35 grand, National Lampoon's Birth of a Nation. I could release that and bring it to a whole new generation. All right. Here you go. whole new generation. Alright. There you go. We're cooking now. We're down to one last guest.
Starting point is 00:52:14 Yeah. He's been waiting so patiently. He's the dab king from Getting Doug with High, exclusively on Patreon. My friend Taylor Rizzo is here. Hey, what's up, everybody? Hey, buddy.
Starting point is 00:52:32 How you doing? I'm good. You've just been sitting back there so polite. Yeah, thanks a lot, Allison. I would have been just before you if it wasn't for you. Yeah. Yeah, the Taylor Rizzo thing. Take this up with your parents.
Starting point is 00:52:51 Yeah, yeah. I only have one. I don't like to name you Taylor. They could have named you Aaron with double A's, Rizzo, and then you would have been sitting pretty tonight. But instead, you get to recommend a movie last. But first, what kind of plugs do you have in store for us this evening? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:10 I just want to say this out loud. I got to act in my first movie recently. Yeah. That was exciting. It won't be out for who knows how long. So I'm just proud of myself. Just wanted to say that out loud. Does it have a title?
Starting point is 00:53:25 It does. It's called It's the birth of a nation? Yes. Tyler Perry's birth. Yeah, it's called The Late Game. It's a hockey movie.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Yeah. One of only maybe 13 in existence total. Yeah, we figured out recently there's only a dozen hockey movies. Yeah. Excited to be a part
Starting point is 00:53:45 of that there's a few that like you know kind of have hockey in them yeah the love guru it's tricky well that yeah that's certainly one of them lethal weapon three holy shit thanks jeff the cutting edge that's right. Yeah. Yeah, Cutting Edge. D.B. Sweeney's a hockey player. And in Ice Castles, Robbie Benson's a hockey player. So, yeah, whenever there's this ice skating movie, there's hockey players hanging around because they know how to skate, too.
Starting point is 00:54:21 Don't get me started about Ice Castles, though. That's a good Christmas movie that's a really good Christmas movie you know Ice Castles the movie where a girl falls down skating and hits her head so she goes blind and then she and her boyfriend decide
Starting point is 00:54:37 she's going to compete in the Olympics anyway but not tell anybody that she's blind this is real I dedicated I dedicated a nine minute track to it tell anybody that she's blind. This is real. I dedicated a nine-minute track to it on one of my albums. I'll just tell you the ending. She's in some sort of regional competition to try to get to the Olympics, and she does well, and she's skating around after her routine, and people are throwing roses and teddy bears onto the ice. Cool.
Starting point is 00:55:14 And so she trips and falls on her face. And then Robbie Benson skates out onto the ice and lifts her up and says, We forgot about the flowers. Does she get more blind? Or does it fix it? What's that? Like when she falls at the end? No, no.
Starting point is 00:55:41 It's not like an amnesia movie where she hits her head and is not blind anymore. That was the ending I No, no. It's not like an amnesia movie where she hits her head and is not blind anymore. That was the ending I was hoping for. But instead, they just sort of laugh, like, yeah, we didn't think of those.
Starting point is 00:55:54 That's the last line? Yeah, pretty much, yeah. The credits go up in between the two of them laughing, like, ha, ha, ha. And the credits, through the eyes of love anyway
Starting point is 00:56:10 that's why when you go to hockey games now they say don't throw anything on the ice one of these players might be blind secretly I've always wondered why they say that yeah they're keeping the secretly blind safe yeah you don't know which one of these guys is blind oh and Val Kilmer sk which one of these guys is blind.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Oh, and Val Kilmer skates and plays hockey and is blind in a movie called... At First Sight. At First Sight. At First Sight. I was going to call it Love at First Sight, and Sam was going to fix that problem. Come on. Immediately.
Starting point is 00:56:40 It's called At First Sight, Doug. Well, Taylor, the weight of everything is on you right now. One last holiday movie recommendation. You're making a face like you don't know what to say. No, I know what I'm going to say. Okay. I'm going to say a movie that doesn't really get lumped in with Christmas movies often, but it's one of my favorites, Just Friends. Okay. I'm going to say a movie that doesn't really get lumped in with Christmas movies often, but it's one of my favorites, Just Friends.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Okay. Ryan Reynolds. Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart is in there. Yeah. And very funny Anna Faris performance. One of my favorites of hers, yeah. In that film. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:20 All right. Just Friends. Alright, just friends Do you think It's a little It's one of those fat suit movies So do you think it's maybe a little fat shamey? I don't mean to put you on the spot Taylor Someone else can take the question instead
Starting point is 00:57:42 No, as someone who used to weigh 260 pounds and lost a lot of weight, yeah, it's still fat-shaming. But that's why you like it, because you really relate to it. You're like, yeah, I lost a lot of weight, too. Yeah, I lost a lot of weight and became an asshole that lives in L.A. You live in that Ryan Reynolds dream. I like to think that I'm Ryan Reynolds from
Starting point is 00:58:09 Just Friends, yeah. I love it. That's a fun movie. I really do like that movie. Yeah, I rent a Porsche every once in a while. You guys haven't seen the movie. That's a pretty specific reference to the movie. I saw The Whale, speaking of, yeah,
Starting point is 00:58:29 and I just got to say, don't eat before you see that movie, and don't eat after you see that movie. Just see that movie, and then stop eating for the rest of your life. It's gross and weird. And let's move on. It's called The Whale.
Starting point is 00:58:57 I never thought about it until right now. That's so fucking rude. No, man. It is. I mean, it's about an obese man who's killing himself by eating too much. Yeah, but... It's messed up. Just call it his name, Paul Blart or whatever. Paul Blart 3, food court.
Starting point is 00:59:13 His name's not Paul Blart. But they call him the whale. He doesn't have a fun name like that. Look at this fucking whale. He's not the subject. The title isn't like calling him the whale. It's a, he's not the subject. It's not, the title isn't like calling him the whale. It's a literary reference to, they talk about Moby Dick a lot in the movie
Starting point is 00:59:31 and the play that this movie was based on. The movie kind of feels like a play and it's very, it's very fat-suit-y. We know how much you love theater laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter
Starting point is 00:59:51 laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter
Starting point is 00:59:51 laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter
Starting point is 00:59:52 laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter

Starting point is 00:59:52 laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter laughter, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale screening, the whale snacks at the whale screening?
Starting point is 01:00:08 He wasn't there. All right. But I think an easy way to tell somebody if they're going to like the whale or not is it's very Darren Aronofsky, if that makes any sense to anybody. If you like his movies, you'll probably be all right with it. And if you don't like it,
Starting point is 01:00:27 then seek entertainment elsewhere. And thank you, everybody, for all those recommendations. People have some stuff they can, you know, try to check out over the next couple of weeks if you have some time off. And we're going to take a break right now and be right back after these messages.

I couldn't think of any movies. I'm really bad under pressure. You're going to lose. Oh my God. Wait, I've seen you on TV

Starting point is 01:02:41 And Taylor is playing for EJ. Our audience technician EJ, who's been here for us and was very helpful. All right, so this game we're gonna play first is just a quickie little game to determine who's gonna go first in the next game we're gonna play. Yeah, it's important. Sam knows. But who goes first in this game? Nobody goes first in this game, Josh. It's a jump ball situation. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Whether you have a microphone or not, the person who wins this game called Live, Die, Repeat. The person, I was just looking out for an audience reaction to that title. Let's play Live, Die, Repeat. A.K.A. Edge of Tomorrow. And I'm going to say the title of a motion picture out loud.
Starting point is 01:03:54 The first person on stage who repeats back the full and correct title that I'm saying wins this game. Wait, that sounds too easy. Well, there's eight of you, so good luck. Every time somebody guesses, because you can guess as often as you'd like, but when you guess, if it's wrong, I'll go back to the beginning of the title. Yeah, get ready to share microphones. Wait, I'm sorry, question. You're going to say a title slowly and whoever completes it? Whoever says the whole thing. Okay.
Starting point is 01:04:37 I promise you, Allison, it's not going to be The Godfather. Yeah, you really narrowed it down there. That's the only one i know wait a minute is it the godfather i mean i didn't know why you're sitting there making promises it's true you're not sure if it's the godfather or not and what are the odds allison i take it back it's probably the godfather no that's too far the other way. It's not probably The Godfather. It's potentially The Godfather. Out of a million titles, it's possibly The Godfather. Does anyone else want to pre-guess The Godfather?
Starting point is 01:05:16 Clear and present danger. That's a fun pre-guess, but that is not correct. Does anybody else have any other pre-guesses? National Lampoon. That would be fun. That would be fun if that happened. The Godfather. This isn't a National Lampoon movie.
Starting point is 01:05:40 All right, here we go. Taylor, you could probably just hand Josh your mic He handed it to me Okay, then just put it on the floor I'm kidding, I'm kidding I'm kidding No faith Alright, here we go
Starting point is 01:06:03 Sorority Sorority. Sorority girls. No. Sorority house. No. Sorority babes. In. Las Vegas.
Starting point is 01:06:20 Sorority babes in the slime ball bowl. Rama. Rama. Good job. Sorority girls in the slime ball game. Rama. game ball-rama. Sorority babes
Starting point is 01:06:45 in the slime ball bowl. I don't understand this game. I don't understand it either. At all. Literally at all. Can't follow it. Sorority girls in the slime ball game-o-rama.
Starting point is 01:07:08 Sorority girls in the slime ball gamorama Sorority girls in the slime bowl Are we just repeating after you? Sorority girls in the slime ball gamorama It's babes Sorority babes in the slime ball gamorama Lamma, lamma, lamma, lamma Sorority babes In the slime ball bowl. Sorority babes in the slime ball bowl-o-rama.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Sorority babes in the slime ball bowl-o-rama. Sorority babes in the slime ball bolo-rama. Sorority babes in the slime ball bolo-rama. Sorority babes in the slime ball bolo-rama. Sorority babes in the... You can't just say the word I just said. You have to start at the beginning. Okay, because this game makes so much sense.
Starting point is 01:08:14 Sorority Babes... Sorority Babes in the Slime Ball Bowlerama. Sorority Babes... How do you concede in this game? Serenity base in the slime ball-a-rama 2. Serenity base in the slime ball-a-rama 2. Taylor got it. Yeah! Oh, I needed that.
Starting point is 01:08:55 All right, let's do one more for fun. Clear and clear. The Godfather. Oh, you got it. Ah! Oh, you got it. Ah! Alright, Taylor, great job, buddy. Yeah, you did it.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Yeah, proud of myself. The only game I could win, by the way. Really? Yeah, I could say the words that you said back to you. You really did Yeah No one else did I mean, Sam did Just slower
Starting point is 01:09:32 Yeah Sam's gonna go back and listen to the tape for sure No, it's alright I saw my coach, he didn't throw the challenge flag in So I'll take his word for it Okay, that's fair. Okay, so that means that Taylor gets to go first in our first of two games. It really means something. That last thing was just being silly.
Starting point is 01:09:58 But now that did determine that Taylor is going first in our first game. Then it's going to go to Josh, then to Kate. We're going to cruise around that way, go around in a circle. And you're going to take turns guessing something. And if you guess incorrectly, you'll be eliminated from the proceedings but there's snacks backstage yeah if you want to hang out you're more than welcome to do so
Starting point is 01:10:35 we'll narrow it down to just four of you and then we'll take a break and the last game will be between the remaining players I think everyone can have their own take a break, and the last game will be between the remaining... Will you eliminate two microphones at that point? ...players. I think everyone can have their own when we get down to four. It's going to be exciting.
Starting point is 01:10:55 Kate cannot wait to stop sharing with Jeff. Okay. This game we're going to play is called Top Gun Mazel Tov. Top Gun Mazel Tov. The good people at Good Housekeeping Magazine online,
Starting point is 01:11:30 experts that they are in all things Jewish and cinematic, they have compiled a list of the 15 best movies to watch during Hanukkah with the whole family. Yeah, best and Hanukkah with the whole family. Yeah. Best and Hanukkah and the whole family are terms that apply quite loosely to their list. So none of those things, maybe they'll be helpful clues, but basically the idea is
Starting point is 01:12:02 I have 15 movie titles in front of me that are alleged Hanukkah films according to good housekeeping so Taylor Rizzo I'm gonna ask you see coming in first so that last thing hasn't worked out so great for you, has it? Because now you have to name a Hanukkah movie that's on this list of 15 Hanukkah movies available for streaming. So don't get ahead of yourself. Don't pick something really current like Babylon. pick something really current like Babylon. Do you have any ideas? Before you say a title, do you have any kind of ideas of what... Is a Hanukkah movie?
Starting point is 01:12:55 What might be a Hanukkah movie, yes. What might be one? Eight Crazy Nights? That would be an example. I'm asking you, do you have any examples in your mind? Not to give me an actual answer yet. I'm so confused right now.
Starting point is 01:13:14 When do we give you answers? I'm going to ask you to name a movie. Eight Crazy Nights is a great example. When I ask you to name a movie, you could just repeat that back to me. But the question I was putting to you was, you could just repeat that back to me but the question I was putting to you was can you think of Hanukkah movies and then you said eight crazy nights yeah that's the only one you could think of no I got one other one oh okay but I shouldn't say that right now no no don't don't don't listen to Josh. You can say it. Do not listen to Josh. Josh is the devil on one shoulder.
Starting point is 01:13:49 Eric is your angel on the other shoulder. One shoulder is a lot heavier than the other. It's one. No, but okay, just go ahead and give me your answer. What's your answer? I'm sorry I asked you that question before. Just name a movie you think might be a Hanukkah movie Eight Crazy Nights that is correct
Starting point is 01:14:09 I was trying to build up to your answer instead of just getting it right there because I already knew that of course it is not only on the list it's number one number one yeah it's not such a wonderful life on the list is number one. Number one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:26 It's not such a wonderful life? Seems like that would be a Hanukkah movie. So that was really all you had, Josh? No, I mean, I know some Jewy movies. I don't think they're Hanukkah-ish. I mean, I know some Jewy movies.
Starting point is 01:14:46 They're Hanukkah-ish. But I also don't think anybody after me is going to come up with one either. Well, that's the issue here, is the absolute lack of Hanukkah entertainment. No, I understand the game. Unlike the last game. This one I get.
Starting point is 01:15:06 Gosh. I don I get. Gosh. I don't know. The Frisco Kid. It's a chewy movie. That is. It's a great guest. I like that movie very much. Good movie.
Starting point is 01:15:14 Gene Wilder. Harrison Ford. And very enjoyable, but I'm sad to say. It's not about Hanukkah. It is great to watch with the whole family on Hanukkah. Yeah, I think it would be an excellent choice, in fact, but did not make a good housekeeping list. I'm sorry to say.
Starting point is 01:15:34 What kind of snacks are there? I'm sorry to say. You're going to find out right now. Give it up for Josh Malina, everybody. Oh, my goodness. Josh Malina, everybody. Oh, my goodness. I mean, I had him... What happens when we all get eliminated?
Starting point is 01:15:51 I had him pay for... Well, I said we're going to narrow it down to four, and those four are probably going to be Allison, Sam, Eric, and Taylor, if I had to guess. But let's see how this shakes out. Taylor if I had to guess but let's see how this shakes out. Kate,
Starting point is 01:16:11 what have you got for a Hanukkah movie? This is the movie that's just been in my head since you said it. Up. Up is a Hanukkah movie? No.
Starting point is 01:16:25 It's delightful. It's delightful. It's delightful. It's got balloons. It's nice for the whole family. Yeah. I know it's not a Hanukkah movie. I got nothing. I don't even think the old guy in it is Jewish.
Starting point is 01:16:38 The way he complains, he's Jewish. Bitches and moans about everything. That's a Jew if I've ever seen one. Thank you. I wish Up was on here, Kate. I really do. You're such a great guest and you brought this amazing artwork.
Starting point is 01:16:59 I'm sorry I didn't win for you, but have fun, everybody. Yay! Kay Meguchi! She's off to someplace warm. This is brutal. Jeff Tate, I hate the way this is going down.
Starting point is 01:17:21 Just everybody doesn't know Hanukkah movies. I'm trying to make a point this evening that Hanukkah is under celebrated in film if Jews are in charge of show business why is why don't we know more than one Hanukkah movie Jeff I'm asking you wait why did my question get harder? This is a real fucking tightrope you got me on here, man. It probably has something to do with the marketplace. I don't know. I didn't... Do you think you have any...
Starting point is 01:18:04 No, of course not. Any ideas of what might be considered a Hanukkah movie? I'm going to say Fiddler on the Roof. I mean, people are excited for that answer. And it is, of course, a classic musical about Jewish people. And does Hanukkah happen in it? It does not. No. I don't think it does. No, itukkah happen in it it does not no I don't think it does no it doesn't happen in it I'm sorry but yeah it's number 11 on the Thank you.
Starting point is 01:18:50 I like to bring the cultures together. It's right there on that guy's shirt. It's right there on his sweatshirt, right in the front row. Now, I feel like some of these movies might not be Hanukkah themed by the by your question phrasing in the beginning yeah I tried to float out the idea yeah there aren't any Hanukkah movies so Or maybe a few of them do have some Hanukkah in them. Eight Crazy Nights
Starting point is 01:19:31 is a lot of Hanukkah. I assume Schindler's List isn't something that people are going to get around. Guys, don't act like that's not a Jewish movie. The Jews have had terrible things happen.
Starting point is 01:19:43 Let's not pretend it didn't happen. But that's not my guess. Oh, God. I'm going to go with just a holiday classic and just go with It's a Wonderful Life. I mean, you can't really go wrong with something that has nothing to do with...
Starting point is 01:20:00 Yeah, I'm going with nothing to do with Hanukkah. Nothing to do with Jews or Hanukkah. Good housekeeping. Come on, baby. Merry Christmas, synagogue. Merry Christmas, Jewish preschool. Remember that deleted scene? I'll be right back.
Starting point is 01:20:15 I got to put on my yarmulke. I got to put more guilt in the stockings. Who else has a terrible Jimmy Stewart impression? That's who we were doing, right? That's who we were doing. Okay, go ahead, Jeff. I'm Jimmy Stewart. That is terrible. That was not good, Jeff.
Starting point is 01:20:36 That is terrible. I wish I was giving out terrible points. Because you deserve one. What do you think, Andrea? Any idea what might I guess. She's just in a wonderful life. I guess a non-Hanukkah thing. Oh, right, right, right.
Starting point is 01:20:49 It's a wonderful life. I'm going the opposite. I was subconsciously trying to give you another chance. Yeah, I get it. But yes, unfortunately, Frank Capra probably wasn't thinking about Hanukkah at all. Well, I don't think he was. I just thought good housekeeping was. When he came up with that one.
Starting point is 01:21:04 But thank you so much, Andrea Savage, everybody. I can't believe, no, is it my turn? What's that? Is it my turn? It's going to be, yeah, but what were you going to say? You can't believe what? It had to do with my turn, so I'll wait. Oh.
Starting point is 01:21:26 I'll wait until it's officially my turn. It is your turn. Okay, I can't believe no one said the following movie yet. Oh, the movie you're about to say? Yeah. You're confident that it's going to be on this list? And I'll be shocked if it's not. Right. I can think of two Dewey movies and it's one of them. Okay.
Starting point is 01:21:42 That I think could be on there. All right. Yentl. You've got Eric in the back row all upset. There's one other that could be on there. Because he probably thought of Yentl as well. But here's the terrible, terrible news. It's not streaming. Is that...
Starting point is 01:22:01 I think that might be the crux of it. That might be why it didn't make the list. Oh, my God! Because Yentl is not on the list. I'm so sorry. Allison Rosen, everybody. I'm sorry. Keep it going for Allison.
Starting point is 01:22:18 That is bullshit. It's such bullshit. Absolutely. Yentl is, everyone knows it's one of the top movies about Hanukkah where Hanukkah doesn't get mentioned. This feels like they asked my mom
Starting point is 01:22:33 to name 15 Hanukkah movies and she's just like, feather on the roof. There's Jewish people in that. Jeff, you want to go ahead and just move to the back row? Yeah, okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:50 I was going to remove some chairs and stuff, but this is perfect. You could just scoot right over there to a back row seat. It's fun leaving this row here so that we could do the stairs. We could do all sorts of having a row in front of us. Okay, just sit down. Yeah, okay. Look at the clock, Jeff. People have lives.
Starting point is 01:23:13 All right. I feel bad that they're not here to hear this, the people that just got eliminated by not knowing any of these, but here goes. At number 15, a motion picture called Holiday Date. Yeah, oh, somebody was wistful. Somebody was excited about it. Somebody knows Holiday Date.
Starting point is 01:23:37 Then the Coen Brothers movie, A Serious Man. Managed to sneak in there. You could also have Lebowski with Walter. 3,000 years of beautiful tradition from Moses to Sandy Koufax. You're goddamn right. I'm fucking Jewish. Yeah. That's the worst Jimmy Stewart
Starting point is 01:23:56 yet. Well, stop it, Greg. Number 13, Crossing Delancey. All the pickle merchants know that one. Crossing Delancey. All the pickle merchants know that one. Crossing Delancey. And then number 12, the lack of imagination of these good housekeeping people. Number 12, an American pickle.
Starting point is 01:24:19 I don't think that's on streaming anymore. I think they pulled it. Oh, they might have pulled it? Well, anyway, Seth Rogen in American Pickle. Then we, of course, had Fiddler on the Roof. Then a motion picture called Double Holiday, which sounds like Christian, Jew, what are we going to do? We'll have a double holiday.
Starting point is 01:24:41 Couldn't just be the one night of Hanukkah that's also on Shabbos? Back me up, Josh. That's what it is. He's gone. Josh is gone. Nope, nobody to back me up. Have you seen that movie Shabbos, baby? Then at number nine, we've got our good
Starting point is 01:24:59 friend Fievel, American Tale. American Tale, of course. Then at number eight, Seth Rogen. If he makes a movie, it gets on the list. The Night Before. Very Jewish Hanukkah thing.
Starting point is 01:25:17 And then number seven, something called what is that word? Circumcised. Bar mitzvah. Circumcised. Bar mitzvah. Circumcised for the holidays? That's not it.
Starting point is 01:25:30 There it is. Hitched for the holidays. I don't know what they're hitched to. Number six, Little Fockers. Little Fockers. Yeah, so Barbra Streisand makes a list somewhere. Number five, this one is sad. Number five on a list of Hanukkah movies.
Starting point is 01:25:48 All I Want for Christmas. Is to be Jewish. Because it's about a Jewish kid and how he feels left out. But still, that title. Yikes. Yikes. And then number four. The Hebrew Hammer.
Starting point is 01:26:03 Yeah! Wow. That was my freaking guess. That was the second one that I had, but I didn't think there was any way it was on the list. I'm so glad they made the list. I was really panicked there for a second. Number three, Mistletoe and Menorahs. Some of these feel kind of lifetime-y, you know, kind of streaming.
Starting point is 01:26:23 And then number two, something called Full Court Miracle. Yeah, do you know that one, Sam? I do. That's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar fights a bunch of robots. No, I have no idea. Wow, it really sounded like you knew that one. I was like, yeah, that does sound like a Hanukkah movie to me. He's a judge.
Starting point is 01:26:45 It's a different court. Karina Dojabar is a judge in this one. It's great. You should see it. We're going to take another break. We'll be right back. We're back. Woo!
Starting point is 01:27:04 We're back! Woo! Woo! We are in the final stretch. We've narrowed it down to the four best trivia players in the room on this stage this evening. But there is some formidable competition up here, so congratulations to all of you. Now we are gonna play super last person standing.
Starting point is 01:27:38 Look at the pained expression on Sam's face. Sam, you got this. Or maybe you don't. Last person standing, we normally would get a suggestion or two or three or four from the audience, and then we'd take turns saying movies that those people were in.
Starting point is 01:28:03 But tonight, I want to give the four of you guys a little bit of control. So each of you, we'll start with Sam, is going to name an actor or actress that you would like to use in this game. Everybody gets to guess. You can name movies from the other actors chosen by the other people on stage,
Starting point is 01:28:28 but the idea is to pick one for yourself that you'd know a lot of their movies. And they have to be Jewish. And no closeted Jews. It has to be ones we know about. Ha ha ha! ones we know about. Sam, we'll start with you.
Starting point is 01:28:53 Very strategic player. Yeah. Couldn't pick something interesting? I think so. I'm going to go with my favorite Jewish actor. His name is Sam Levine. He's saying Sam Levine. I knew this was going to happen. What kind of sneaky business is this? He's only okay, guys. Hasn't been in that many things.
Starting point is 01:29:14 All right, so Sam. I don't know, Sam. This feels like cheating. I didn't make the rules you did. I would have chosen someone else, but he had to be Jewish. I mean, I don't know what you think of. That's true. If it didn't have to be Jewish did. I would have chosen someone else, but he had to be Jewish. I mean, I don't know what you think of. That's true. If it didn't have to be Jewish, you had so many more options. But, oh, somebody's got a lovely music box. Music box in their pocket.
Starting point is 01:29:38 They're like, if I interrupt a live show, I'm going to at least do it in a very pleasant way. People around me might do pirouettes. Eric, are you going to follow suit and do what Sam just did and say Sam Levine?
Starting point is 01:29:55 I'm going to go Jake Johnson. Oh! Good friend of yours? I may know his canon of work. And you know his films? Yeah. You know your buddy's films. All right. Jake Johnson. Eric Edelstein.
Starting point is 01:30:13 Taylor. Yeah. I just, to give myself a chance, I feel like I have to just say Adam Sandler. Okay. We're going to be here for a while. Jeff? I mean, if this game was just name a Jewish actor, I'd be out.
Starting point is 01:30:41 Like, I'm locked up. I don't... Well, tell us one of your favorite actors and we'll tell you their Jewish name. There's a new game. Oh my god. I don't know. You know what I mean? You love Kurt Russell. Do you know his real name?
Starting point is 01:31:01 No. Kurt Russellstein. Can I play him? No. Kurt Russellstein. Okay. Can I play him? No. I don't think he's Jewish. I was just having some fun. Yeah?
Starting point is 01:31:12 Paul Rudd. Why'd you help him? I love Jeff. Yeah, but I was about to suggest that Adam Sandler, Sam Levine, and Jake Johnson, that feels like enough for us to successfully play this game. That's good. So you're off the hook, Jeff. Thank God. I already forgot who I said. Yeah, well, we don't need...
Starting point is 01:31:35 We love Paul Rudd, but we don't... Oh, yeah, Paul Rudd. It's going to take us forever if we lock out... if we lock that out. I'm clueless about Jewish actors. Oh, I see what you're doing. I see what's happening. All right, you sneaky, sneaky man.
Starting point is 01:31:53 All right. Sam and Eric have a lot to say to each other right now. A lot of cheating going on. Eyes on your own paper. Sam likes to write them down on a piece of paper. But that still helped me to keep track of which ones we've said already in case it gets out of control. Oh, by the way, I play along on this game.
Starting point is 01:32:17 Just to be a bit of a spoiler, if possible. So, yeah, it's going to go then me then Jeff then Taylor then Eric can't think of one of any of those three actors Adam Sam or Jake Johnson if you can't think of one you're out but you do have your lifeline is the person whose name tag you chose you can go to them once for help. Did we add a fourth actor or no? We did not. That was all that discussion about not adding a fourth one. Barbara Streisand.
Starting point is 01:32:54 You don't want that, Jeff. You don't want that kind of heat, man. You're joking around, Jeff, but you do not want that. I don't want it, no. You would not fare well in the films of Barbara Streisand. I know one. They're on the roof. Is that wrong?
Starting point is 01:33:12 All right. As always, everybody in the audience was fantastic tonight. I know helping out with answers at this stage can get very intense. And we're also going to try to finish this game in three minutes. Yeah, I'm looking at the clock, and I think 9.57 is a good time to end the show. No, we'll see how long it takes.
Starting point is 01:33:36 We'll find out. We'll find out. Sam, if you had to say, because I don't think you'd know an exact number, films you've been in, how many ballpark it? A dozen or so. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:33:49 All right. So if I say a bunch of your movies, that might... Yeah, you'll be chipping away at my, you know, my whole cards. Okay. I like it. Yeah. Oh, cool. I'm excited.
Starting point is 01:34:02 Sam Levine, your first name of film featuring yourself or Jake Johnson or Adam Sandler? Very well. Let's be cops. Ooh, he took a Jake Johnson away from his very good friend, Eric Edelstein. And I, of course, have to start saying Sam Levine movies. Because that, I mean mean I hope I don't
Starting point is 01:34:26 fuck him up though because Sam will be the first to tell me if I got it wrong like if I said if I you know if I went if I transfixed wet and hot American summer so what did you say though
Starting point is 01:34:41 I said wet hot American summer. That's correct. Yay, I did it. Jeff? The Mummy. Jake Johnson is in that movie. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:35:00 Jake Johnson, right? Yeah. Yeah. Am I thinking of the right guy? Maybe not. I don't know. Why the right guy? Maybe not. I don't know. Why did everybody fucking... Maybe not.
Starting point is 01:35:08 He's in The Mummy with Tom Cruise. Jake Johnson. He's in the Tom Cruise one. Is it? Yeah, okay. Eric's confirming that. He's in the Tom Cruise Mummy movie. There you go.
Starting point is 01:35:15 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Is it called The Mummy Returns or is it... No, no. No, it's just The Mummy. Yeah. Done.
Starting point is 01:35:20 Yeah. Well done, Greg. Well done. Have a little more... Yeah, yeah. Have some confidence, Jeff. I was fully confident and then the entire room stonewalled me. Because you're asking the audience to give your answers during a game show.
Starting point is 01:35:34 No, not an answer. Just whether or not you were right. Yeah, you're like, is he the guy I'm thinking of? Which is what they ask on Jeopardy all the time. They turn to the audience and go, hang on, Ken. Who is it I'm thinking of? Which is what they ask on Jeopardy all the time. They turn to the audience and go, hang on, Ken. Who is it I'm thinking of? Hang on, I gotta do
Starting point is 01:35:52 some more tech work. Cannot connect. Oh, there we go. I like to chip in. I'll probably get in trouble with the union though alright where are we oh Taylor Inglorious Bastards
Starting point is 01:36:15 that's right Sam Levine not another teen movie look at him go holy Guys, I knew this would happen. Look at him go. Holy shit. Oh, I knew this would. It's all right.
Starting point is 01:36:29 Most of my fine indie work will never be seen by anyone other than me and my mother. Back to me already? You make your mother watch everything you do? I don't make her. She's a supportive Jewish mother. You were so good in that movie. When are they going to release it? Never.
Starting point is 01:36:48 Never. Okay, go ahead, Sam. You know, it is my favorite of the Hanukkah movies, Eight Crazy Nights. Oh, okay. That's smart. Oh, we're doubling back and saying movies that have already been mentioned this evening. That's smart. Oh, we're doubling back and saying movies that have already been mentioned this evening.
