Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seats with 50 azir pop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not more that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies! Hey everybody And especially that person that went Because that is never not fun My name is Doug and I love movies We're getting there There's still some people that just cheer at that point
Starting point is 00:00:42 But they'll get it We're coming to you from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday, July 23rd, 2 Oceans 13. Let me see your name tags. I already saw one that I think is my favorite one of all time. It's the Thomas Crown Affair. And your name is Thomas Ramirez. And my name is Doug Benson.
Starting point is 00:01:00 And we co-star in it? No, you left Pierce Brosnan there. You should have put your face in there. That would have been pretty sweet. But I'll do a movie with Pierce. I'm cool. How do you medicate the man who smokes everything? What was the original tagline of Thomas Crown Affair?
Starting point is 00:01:21 What do you get the man who has everything? That's a weird tagline. I guess because he's a thief. Weird. I bet you this poster has a better tagline on it. Oh, not really. I don't like that tagline at all. It's from the writers of 500 Days of Summer.
Starting point is 00:01:42 How about from the director of Smashed, is what I say. That's what people should be talking about. Since last I spoke and you listened, I did a Douglas Movies taping at the Punchline in Atlanta with Destiny Barr, Rob Cantrell, and a nice lady named Patty Davis from the Atlanta Movie Tours. And that episode might become another in maybe the third or fourth time in the history of the show, lost episode.
Starting point is 00:02:06 Because we haven't received the recording yet, and the person who recorded it refuses to respond to our emails. So I hope we get it and plop it soon, but it'll be also maybe the first time I've ever put episodes out, you know, released them out of order.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Because I'm very anal about that. Today we did a new Dining with Doug and Karen with Chef Dave and comedian David Huntsberger which is available on iTunes now. None of this waiting around hoping it gets sent to us because Katie who records it is right there in person.
Starting point is 00:02:39 And be sure to watch the Jessalynick Offensive next Tuesday on Comedy Central to see me and Rob Hubel do panel, bo-bannel, bo-fanna, banna, bo-bannel, panel. The prize bag, there's just too much to even. It's just, like, I brought
Starting point is 00:02:54 this little bag, and it's absolutely full of stuff, and the guests have more stuff backstage, so I'll just say that there's a copy of Gateway, Doug, and also I included a card. A gentleman in Nashville gave me a copy of Gateway, Doug. And also, I included a card. A gentleman in Nashville gave me a stack of cards, the intent of which is to explain the Leonard Maltin game in this much space.
Starting point is 00:03:19 It's like a business-sized card that supposedly has all the rules. And I think it encapsulates it pretty nicely. But I also think that if I handed this to someone and then five minutes later they had to play, they would still just be totally confused. So we have to stick with the system of just teaching them how to play it as we play it. Monty Python and the Holy Grail on VHS. That'd be weird if somebody from Monty Python, that's what they brought.
Starting point is 00:03:47 But no, nobody from Monty Python is here. But also, I included a $10 iTunes gift card so you can get the Super Tournament of Championships, which is still number one on iTunes, so thank you. And comedy albums. Not real albums. But it goes up and down the charts in real albums, and I just crack up seeing super turnover championships next to Demi Lovato, between Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift,
Starting point is 00:04:10 which is where I would like to live my life. Let's get them out here, four great guests. Please welcome returning Leonard Maltin game winner James Ponsolt and Steven Yoon, Brie Larson, and Tom Lennon. And Tom, right out the gate, is pouring us all a nice hearty cup of Ed Hardy wine.
Starting point is 00:04:50 He's walking it around like the weirdest sommelier. Tight shirt sommelier. Use your microphone voice. I said, what's his... That's Alice... What did you say? What? Brie Larson?
Starting point is 00:05:06 Brie Larson, everybody. It's here for her. Oh, and thank you very much. Sommelier is like a person who knows a lot about wine and brings it to you. Right? It smells like plastic.
Starting point is 00:05:18 Is that the cup or is that the ear? Don't bother answering. She asks questions. She's not even interested in the answer. That's horrible wine. It's really bad? It's really bad. Alright. That was James
Starting point is 00:05:30 Ponsold, everybody, who directed this movie that is spectacular now that is in theaters. What happened? I thought you were going to say Inspector Gadget. I got excited. I'm sorry. You thought I was going to call the movie that you're in
Starting point is 00:05:47 and he directed Inspector Gadget? We can call it that if you want. I thought you said Inspector Cat Meow. Which is a good idea. But the spectacular now, have you seen it, Tom? Not yet, Doug. We'll finish this bottle of wine and go. Is it in theaters yet?
Starting point is 00:06:06 It comes out on August 2nd in New York and L.A. In New York and L.A. And then spreads out from there. And Brie has a movie called Short Term 12. I remembered it this time. And when's that going to start creeping out all over the place? That comes out August 23rd. Okay.

Starting point is 00:07:07 a rubbing alcohol and then it finishes like this is I thought I was goofing around it'd be funny but like oh
Starting point is 00:07:15 it'd be kind of terrible this is the worst piss literally I think this might be poison this is literally... It's an epic act.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Ed Hardy wine people, go ahead and send my attorney a note. Because I got something I got to say. This is not... There's Ed Hardy sweat in that bottle. This is wine. I think it has a big butt and a smile. This wine is poison.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Ed Hardy wine. It's fucking poison. Oh, I don't hate it. Ed Hardy wine. You've got to be high. So, yeah, I had a copy of Walking Dead, one of the books. So, Stephen was nice enough to sign that. Did you write
Starting point is 00:08:05 something fun in your inscription I wrote sorry I did not think of this Doug did you guys know what happens the guests have a lot of things to do and they and I have a lot of things to do so sometimes that communication doesn't happen oh and here Steve you can you can read this card and you'll be really good at the Leonard Maltin game. If you just check that out real quick. Wow, that's really small. Yeah, it's all, everything's in there, though. It's really, uh... You don't have to
Starting point is 00:08:33 move your lips when you read it. Oh, no, that's how I read. That's how I read. No, we gotta have stuff that happens here so that it brings people here. So it's not just you. Oh, yeah, that's true. No, we do, there's stuff that happens here. People at home aren't seeing that Ed Hardy bottle. And this tiny Leonard Maltin game card. Did he print up No, we do. There's stuff that happens here. People at home aren't seeing that Ed Hardy bottle. And this tiny letter to Molten Game Card. Did he print up 10,000 of these or 30,000 or how many thousands of these exist?
Starting point is 00:08:54 He made maybe several hundred at least. Maybe a thousand. He gave me a little box of them. Cool. And it was a very sweet gesture, but we'll see how it works tonight. I will not try to explain the game to Steve at all. He'll just play based on what he's reading right now. And we'll see how he does.
Starting point is 00:09:09 Bree, what did you bring to give away? You brought an interesting book. Oh, I brought a book of imagination. It's going to spark those imaginations. Will Rogers, Ambassador of Goodwill, Prince of Wit and Wisdom. Okay. With an appreciation by Lowell Thomas. Yeah, Lowell Thomas
Starting point is 00:09:26 wrote the appreciation and PJ O'Brien wrote the book. And then what did you write inside here? I just drew a heart for now. There's a better part in it that's already written, so I'm going to write something good, but it was written October 17th, 1935. To my sweetheart, wife.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Just to clarify. And our little mother. May a wonderful girl enjoy this story of a wonderful man. Okay. With all my love, Eugene. And me. They're dead.
Starting point is 00:10:00 Yeah, you added to it, which is nice. Well, I just added a heart, but I'll get to the rest. Who brought the Monty Python video? I did. That was James Ponsel. And you also brought a copy Yeah, you added to it, which is nice. Well, I just added a heart, but I'll get to the rest. Who brought the Monty Python video? I did. That was James Ponsel. And you also brought a copy of your earlier film, Smashed. I did.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Which I enjoy a great deal. And I brought another movie, too. Do you have that other DVD? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You want to get this out of the house. Yeah, it's a Mexican cockfighting video. And my wife told me I have to get rid of it, so I figured the demographic in this room is perfect for that movie. It's Albarra Aguilas.
Starting point is 00:10:28 It looks good. So it's Mexican men fighting birds? No, it's Mexican birds fighting each other. Okay, I thought it was a Mexican fighting a cock. Mexican cock fighting. Oh, and there's more in the prize. Somebody's really taken home a lot of great stuff tonight.
Starting point is 00:10:46 Thomas, have I even introduced you yet? Thomas Lennon, everybody. Don't touch the people sitting on the floor. What are you, the mayor of San Diego? This is a great book. It's called The Working Comedian's Gag File. Open to any page when you're in a dry spot. For example,
Starting point is 00:11:20 raising pigeons is a lot of trouble. The upkeep isn't too bad. It's the overhead you gotta watch. I love the... Shazam! It starts... It starts... Raising them is a lot of trouble.
Starting point is 00:11:35 The upkeep's not so bad, though. It already takes a turn to, like, it's not really that bad of a thing. And now bring it home. But man, that overhead. You gotta watch that shit. But pigeons come back, too, though. It's not like you really have to worry about it.
Starting point is 00:11:51 There's hundreds of pages of those, and even better. Okay. Well, you know what? I'll have it standing by. If there happens to be a lull at some point, I'll just whip it open and read. Yeah, we'll read one. There's a lot of jokes about someone named Dagmar
Starting point is 00:12:05 In it It's a pretty old book But apparently Dagmar had big bosoms And oh you could make some Wise cracks about it When she wore red earrings she looked like the back of a Greyhound bus I don't even know what the She looked like the back of a Greyhound bus. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:12:28 I don't even know what the... Like, that was a she's so fat? Or a she's so bus-like? That old run of jokes. Have we covered everything that we need to cover? I think so. Let's do the part where I ask you guys if you've been to the cinema lately. Oh, one thing I wanted to talk to you about, Tom. First of all, Hell Baby is on VOD now.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Right now. As we speak. You could literally lean over. Turn this off and turn on Hell Baby. Or leave them both on at the same time. Okay. Yeah. But you can demand it immediately.
Starting point is 00:13:03 It's on demand on any platform. Is it called like Ultra VOD or something? Yes. Okay. Yeah. But you can demand it immediately. It's on demand on any platform. Is it called like Ultra VOD or something? Yes. Okay. Yeah. And Hell Baby, of course, is the story of? It's a magnificent film with Rob Corddry and Keegan-Michael Key and Leslie Bibb and the Human Giant guys and the Reno 911 guys.
Starting point is 00:13:20 It's an egregiously- And the Kumail Nanjiani guy. Yeah. It's Ricky Lindholm. It's a movie that you can... You and your dog can get high, and you'll both still get it. You'll get every twist and turn.
Starting point is 00:13:32 I've seen it, and I was high. Yeah. And everyone in it is hilarious, and I can't recommend it enough, so VOD that shit, you guys. And the other thing I wanted to ask you about is, we were discussing it a little bit last night you know you helped interrupt to the great Gatsby over that
Starting point is 00:13:48 was really fun family and somebody was there and or just happy about it and you were talking to me about how Christopher Nolan told you yeah when you played the doctor yep in the Dark Knight Rises yep that it was the same doctor that you played for him in the film Memento. And you're fine. That explanation makes sense to you. Here's the reason I didn't question it.
Starting point is 00:14:16 The reason I didn't question it is because somebody, they drove over to my house with a script that everything was blacked out. It was one piece of, one page, and it was a red piece of paper, and everything was X'd out but one paragraph that I got to say. And I could tell I was having a conversation with Bruce Wayne. And then I was like, hey, where does this movie film?
Starting point is 00:14:34 And they're like, well, you'll be in London saying this paragraph. But if you say a paragraph in a film in London, you've got to go to London for like a week. They fly you first class. You take Ambien. You're fucked up the whole time. You wander around on red wine. Listen to the Smiths on your iPod.
Starting point is 00:14:54 You masturbate constantly. It's literally the greatest week of your life. And then one day you go do a scene with Christian Bale, and then that's it. So I was like, so as soon as it was explained to me that it was the same character, I decided not to ask any questions about that.
Starting point is 00:15:08 But just be a team player. And go, oh yeah, great. He meant play it the same. Or I hired you because I like the way you play a doctor. I don't know. Where did Memento take place? California? It's certainly shot in California.
Starting point is 00:15:22 I believe it was also set in California. And Gotham, of course, doesn't exist. So that same doctor, that's a really interesting career move to go from a real world to a fantasy land. He had a weird midlife crisis, and he's like, fuck it, I'm going to become fictional.
Starting point is 00:15:40 Let's fucking fictionalize this shit. Plus, in the movie, Batman uses you. Because he doesn't give a shit what diagnosis you give him. He just wanted to go fly out the window and go to Commissioner Gordon's room at the same hospital. He just wants to punch Bane in the ball so bad.
Starting point is 00:15:57 That's all he wants. But have you been to the cinema lately? I've not seen a motion picture in quite a long time. As you know, I have a four year old child. Yeah, but what did you take your four year old to see recently? It's been a little bit. We haven't seen anything in the last movie we saw.
Starting point is 00:16:10 You haven't seen Despicable Me? Not yet, no. No, we watched a lot of- Hop? Did you see Hop? Didn't see Hop, no. How was Hop? I feel like you loved Hop.
Starting point is 00:16:18 I have not seen it. But I love you. I'll give you a quick impression of it. Russell Brand plays the Easter Bunny. So it's like, hey, where do you think I put all the eggs? I bet you can't find them. I want to talk about politics. That was great.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I would like to give a shout out to Russell Brand because I was officially unbooked off of his show called Brand X. He went to London and he came back and he said he's only going to have intellectuals and really interesting people. So I got a call. They're like, no, Russell, he's going to go a different way with interesting people
Starting point is 00:16:58 and or intellectuals. Well, I've got an interesting question for Steve and that is World War Z. Have you seen that shit? I haven't seen it. All right, moving on to James. I saw Pacific Rim. I get it, I get it.
Starting point is 00:17:17 You were kind of like, you know what? I don't have to fight robots every day of the week. I'll go watch people do that instead of zombies. I mean, I don't want to watch World War Z. They're just going to do what we're doing. It's different, though. They're fast. And they climb each other.
Starting point is 00:17:34 They swarm, right? They're climbing zombies. They're swarmers. First season, one of them climbed a ladder. Yeah, so you've already done that. Fuck those World War Z guys. I'd say add a few more Z's and have a nap. Oh, that was prepped.
Starting point is 00:17:54 That was prepped. I've said that before. That's prepped stuff. I've said that on occasion. That was completed. That's why I said I say. I was quoting myself. That's what you do when say. I was quoting myself. It's what you do when you're drunk on Ed Hardy.
Starting point is 00:18:09 It's for people who want to quote themselves. It's literally fucking poison. Here, have a taste. Taste that. But we keep... No, you can't. We're going to get sued.
Starting point is 00:18:20 Oh, that was weird. I thought that would go better. You picked a real connoisseur. She was like... I can't even do it because I got cotton mouth. This wine isn't even helping my cotton mouth. It's not even like liquid, this wine. It's a fucking experiment.
Starting point is 00:18:39 Is this the smell of the cup or of the wine? No, it's the wine. The cups are fine. The cups are nice cups. Did you like the Pacific Rim, though? I thought it was visually stunning. Yes, yeehaw. Visually stunning.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Visually stunning. Yeah, I've heard sort of mixed things, but the bottom line is that it's for the little boy in all of us, that it's just robots and monsters. Oh, that's my wheelhouse, to be inside a robot with another person. That's in my wheelhouse of things. I need a co-pilot if I'm going to be inside a robot.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Totally. I want to be inside another person who is a robot. Yeah, you heard me. That face. You should give Alan Tudyk's a call. Because he was the robot in I, Robot. Was he? Look at that. Yeah, look at it.
Starting point is 00:19:30 What have you seen lately, James? I saw Fruitvale Station. Oh, nice. Great movie. I hear it's not as like people are worried about how heavy it's going to be, but that it's also rewarding. Yeah, no, it's very rewarding. It's very moving.
Starting point is 00:19:45 It's not oppressive throughout the whole movie. It's sort of... You know what's going to happen. You know what's going to happen. You know that train's going to Fruitvale. The train is going to Fruitvale. What a fucking friendly name for such a horrible incident. It literally sounds like a fucking breakfast cereal.
Starting point is 00:20:01 Going down to Fruitvale. Making up some friends As soon as I found out what that movie was about I was like, oh wow, that's what we're calling that Yikes, yeah, okay Yeah, that's where it happened I'm looking forward to seeing that
Starting point is 00:20:17 Brie? Yes? I love you keep your microphone in your lap I'm just, yeah, it's too much effort To hold the whole time? Yeah, it your lap. I'm just, yeah, it's too much effort. The whole time? Yeah, it just feels like I'm going to be saying something. I want you to say stuff.
Starting point is 00:20:32 Okay, here I go. What'd you see lately? I haven't been to the theater, the theater in a while, but I have been watching a lot of movies on planes. I've been watching the entire Antonioni catalog, which has been, it's not funny. It's just, that's the reality of what I've been watching right now. I'm sorry. Talk about something where nobody walking by is curious about what you're watching.
Starting point is 00:20:52 That looks weird. How was the print of La Aventura? I didn't get to see it while I was here. That's why I was watching it on a plane. Well, we might as well move on from there. There's no reason to discuss Antonioni anymore. This is the part of the show where I say, let the games begin.
Starting point is 00:21:24 We just have time for the one game, the grandfather of all games. Three of our guests have played, and one has learned how to play by reading on a small card. And I should tell you, Steve, did the card say that you go pick a name tag when I ask you to pick a name tag? It just says,
Starting point is 00:21:40 the game is played in the style of name that tune, and then really I didn't get any much farther than that. Oh, okay. That's all you need to know. It's like movies and actors instead of notes and songs. Yeah, I'm good. Okay. But also you pick somebody in the audience that you want to play for,
Starting point is 00:21:54 so everybody just get up and go select a name tag. And while you do that, I will go to this, and we'll be right back. And we're back! It's great to be back. Who are you playing for, Brie? Show me that name tag. Indiana Jones looking
Starting point is 00:22:13 thing. Takura? Is that... Cool. Alright. And James, who are you playing for? Kayla. Oh, she's from the Michigan Daily. She went to Comic-Con under some sort of false name and job. That's her badgie. Who do you have, Steve?
Starting point is 00:22:31 I have Jessica, and Jennifer Gunderson is a shithead. That's later. That's later. It's not on the card. That's not on the card. It's not on the card. That's not on the fucking card. There was no scenario for this. That's where the card card There was no scenario for this
Starting point is 00:22:45 That's where the card There was no plan Did I just ruin the game? No you didn't ruin anything You can never go back now I'm so sorry I ruined the game? No one cares Hey Baseball Jordan
Starting point is 00:23:00 Did you get in last night to the movie interruption? Did Tom Lennon talk too much during the movie? He talked a lot, but not too much. Perfect. Good job. And hold up your name tag. Who are you playing for, Tom? I'm playing for Elizabeth, who has a DVD of
Starting point is 00:23:16 Charade with three and a half stars from Leonard Maltin and Intrigue at its best, and there's a typo, of course, in its best right there. So that's part, that's part of why I picked it. But what's the name on there? Elizabeth. Oh, okay. That's who I'm playing for.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I'm not playing for Cary Grant, although, let's say I'm playing for Cary Grant. She just covered up Audrey Hepburn with just Elizabeth. Yeah. Like, that'd be cool if around that time there was an actress that just went by the first name Elizabeth. Very unlikely, that's why. Are you reading the back of that?
Starting point is 00:23:48 I am. I'm looking for more typos, because there's one on the cover. When there's one on the cover... Look for more typos while I read another joke from the gag file. This is under crime. I'm not saying he's a crook, but you could use the checks he writes for blowout patches. Remember how you're always rubber patching your tires?
Starting point is 00:24:12 I'm not saying, let me read another one. I'm not saying he's a crook, but an Allen wrench always comes in handy. You gotta relate to the people We'll start with Returning champion James Ponsolt And he will get to pick a category
Starting point is 00:24:34 And then we'll go to Bree and then to Tom And then to Steve And he'll know how to play by then Yeah, I'm on it You're gonna be so on top of it Who's the shithead? Edna Gunderson?
Starting point is 00:24:46 Jennifer Gunderson? Jennifer Gunderson. I feel so bad. I feel like I ruined everything. All you got to do is win, right? And we have this. No, no. And we'll turn it all around.
Starting point is 00:24:54 This is solid gold, this stuff. This is why this podcast is live. It was a good laugh. We are all here right now. Would you like at Nate Hadley suggested on Twitter, whose line is it anyway?
Starting point is 00:25:11 And that's movies where someone does cocaine. Or Quill Bill, and that's movies based on the works of Shakespeare. Or What a Schmuck suggested Womb Raider
Starting point is 00:25:25 and that's movies where John Voight has sex. I'll do whose line is it anyway? Okay, there's cocaine in this movie from 1997. Three and a half stars from Leonard. He calls this movie extraordinary.
Starting point is 00:25:47 He also says that it is gripping and funny. And he lists 15 names. And the year was 1997. And how many names do you think you'll need to discern the name of this movie, James? 1997. And how many names do you think you'll need
Starting point is 00:26:05 to discern the name of this movie, James? Reading from the bottom up, of course, of the cast list. 13. Smart opening bid. That's why you're a returning winner. You know what you're doing. Bree, what do you think? I think it's a
Starting point is 00:26:26 what do I say next? I didn't read the card. You can bid lower or you've been on the show several times. You can bid lower or you can ask him to name it but 13 names is a lot of names
Starting point is 00:26:38 so I'd say you should say like 12 or something. I do, yeah, 12. She says 12. I'll say 12. Let's go way down to like seven. All right, so he says seven names, Steve. So you have to either bid less names or say to Tom, name that movie.
Starting point is 00:26:52 If he fails to name the movie after you say name that movie, then you'll get a point. We're playing to two points. Name that movie. All right. Seven names. 1997, they do cocaine. Yeah, and I think you're going to get it. I think I might know it. Okay. But let me give you the seven names. 1997, they do cocaine. Yeah, and I think you're going to get it. I think I might know it.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Okay. But let me give you the seven names. Okay. Show off. Let's see. Well, I mean, the seven names either will help or not. Here we go. They're going to help.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Okay. Joanna Gleason. Yep. Jack Riley. Yep. Ricky Jay. Robert Ridgely. Yep.
Starting point is 00:27:22 Philip Baker Hall. Yeah. Alfred Molina, and William H. Macy. Yeah, this is called Boogie Nights. That's correct. By the way, seven's a lot of names for this game.
Starting point is 00:27:39 That's a lot of names. Yeah, out of 15, though, you'd be surprised. Well, I guess. You might not have hooked William H. Macy. I was confused. You didn't have it at Joanna Gleeson. No, but I feel like Blow came out around the same time. And that was kind of looming.
Starting point is 00:27:53 That was lurking in the background. Yeah, but you didn't hear the Bobcat Goldthwait. Exactly. Paul Rubens. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so Tom has a point. And I think everybody's on board with how this works. I've never won this.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Works now? Maybe. I will still lose this. Well, this time we'll start with James and then head towards Steve. So, Steve, you get to go second. Great. And James gets to pick between
Starting point is 00:28:24 at Clay Hanson 1 suggested Sausage Fest, and that's movies where Leonard Bolton doesn't list any women in the cast. There may be women in it, but they didn't qualify for a listing. At IG88 Music
Starting point is 00:28:41 suggested OMGYN, and that's movies that have a graphic birth scene in them. That sounds like a good vehicle for you, OMGYN. I'm in, like, three of those. Like a gynecologist with amnesia, so every time he's like,
Starting point is 00:29:01 oh my god. I don't know how to do this. Well, I guess I do. And also, celebrating a birthday today, the great Philip Seymour Hoffman, who was in Boogie Nights. So the films of Philip Seymour Hoffman. Let's do the films of Philip Seymour Hoffman. I like it.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Boo. 2011, this one's from. Two Oceans 11, I like to call it. Two stars from Leonard. Super accurate. In my opinion. He says this movie is about an idealistic person. And he also says that it doesn't add up to much.
Starting point is 00:29:37 Which is not much of a compliment. And he lists ten names. How many names do you think you can get that in? I think eight names. That's a good, strong opening bid. So Steve... I will say six. Oh, now he came to play.
Starting point is 00:30:00 He's in this thing now. I've seen this movie and I can't remember the name. He's in this thing now. I've seen this movie and I can't remember the name of it. Fuck. It's cold. What's this movie going to be called? I might have to tell you to name it because I don't know if I can.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Well, you could bid lower. No, I don't. But it's not going to come to me because the Ed Hardy one. I'll just name it. I have one thing. All right. I'll tell you the names. You get, what, seven out of ten? Is that it?
Starting point is 00:30:34 Six. Six. An honest player. I like that. Your six names are Gregory Itson, Jennifer Eel, Max Minghella, Jeffrey Wright, Marissa Tomei, and Evan Rachel Wood. And we also know that Philip Seymour Hoffman is in it, and it's from 2011. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:30:53 What's it called? Is it Savages? No. No. It's called The Ides of March. Oh. Yeah, yeah. That's a sling. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:05 Ryan Gosling. Yeah, that was a Clooney. George Clooney directed that. Yeah, and it also had, of course, Ryan Gosling was in it. So that means that Tom Lennon took this thing down fast. Holy crap. So what do we do?
Starting point is 00:31:25 Do we just hang out? Yeah, we just hang out. This is an amazing endorsement for Tom Hardy Wine. Ed Hardy and Tom Hardy endorsed. It's the wine, the choice of both Bane
Starting point is 00:31:37 and douchebags. This wine is gone. This wine was God's record. This wine was born in darkness. Aged in captivity. Shunned by society. And it's a dude just looking at his boner and jeans going, Rise. Ed Hardy jeans.
Starting point is 00:32:05 Do you think you're also Bane's doctor? Doctor, I have my mask. It's pinching in the back. You and me are filming that tomorrow. Funny or die or something. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Let's gather up the shitheads.
Starting point is 00:32:25 See if anybody has them. There isn't one on the back of the Takura of the Lost Ark. So who is this person? Where are you at, Takura? Can you come on up here? Uh-huh. And if you could
Starting point is 00:32:43 just take this pen and write down Anyone you want me to call a shithead You know how it works, right? Yeah, okay And Is there something on the back of your name tag, James? Oh, there you go Yeah, you can have that back
Starting point is 00:33:00 There is not, Kayla Kayla, do you want to come Hey, Doug, take half of this Ed Hardy wine, okay? Do what to it? You can have that back. There is not. Kayla, do you have... Kayla, do you want to come... Hey, Doug, take half of this Ed Hardy wine, okay? Because it's... Do what to it? Take half of it because it's poisonous and you like it. I don't love it.
Starting point is 00:33:12 I just don't put it in there. It's got to be... Oh, in that case, I'll take it back. Here, do you want to write down a shithead? It's awful, but I want it. Thanks. No, write it on this piece of paper right here. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:33:25 Thank you for participating. Okay, those are a couple interesting ones. And we already know Steve's. Ruined it. Ruined it. My bad. Didn't ruin it. I hit a grand slam.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Hit it four times. Oh, you know what would be fun, Ryan, in the booth? We should put a bleep over every time he says it and then let it go when I say it at the end. Jennifer Gunderson. So that's three times you gotta
Starting point is 00:33:56 jump in there and bleep that out. The perfect crime. Create work. Nice. That's awesome. October 13th is when Walking Dead returns.
Starting point is 00:34:12 Since we have a second, like how many episodes in before Glenn dies? Approximately three-fourths, maybe. Oh. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:34:26 An answer. That's going to get on BuzzFeed. I totally tricked you into answering. But good luck surviving on there. Thank you. It's very suspenseful when your favorite characters could die at any moment. It's difficult to stay alive.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Yeah, yeah. You and your lady friend on there, you've got gotta both stay alive Because the show doesn't have enough sex action in it Until Who's gonna hook up next on the show? What couple do you see in the making? There'll be other sex

Starting point is 00:35:15 I like her Jennifer Gunderson So good Oh Ryan's got his work cut out for him Just toss him up By the way that's If that's the hardest work he does this week There's children in China making Nikes
Starting point is 00:35:38 That's hard He's trying to track down the The lost Atlanta episode So he's got a lot on his plate right now Whose wine is this? Is this mine? That's hard. He's trying to track down the lost Atlanta episode, so he's got a lot on his plate right now. Whose wine is this? Is this mine? That's yours. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Well, no, it's Ed Hardy's. You're just enjoying it. You're renting it from him. I love that I called it Tom Hardy wine. Because when you drink it, you're like, this means war. Nice. I just saw that one, what was the one, Lawless,
Starting point is 00:36:09 where he and Shia LaBeouf were gangster brothers that make Moonshine. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and I watched it on cable. I enjoyed it. Yeah, yeah, I didn't mind it. I'm downgrading it as I speak.
Starting point is 00:36:23 I enjoyed it. I didn't mind it. It's all right. It's just the wine speaking. Okay, so that one's empty. This one's got some. We're good to go. Do you want to play one more round of Iron Maul for funsies?
Starting point is 00:36:36 No, why don't we play it for stakes? Oh. What are the stakes going to be? Why don't we risk every one? Why don't we Oh Why don't we risk Why don't we go all in On one What does that mean? Or something
Starting point is 00:36:48 I don't wanna die for this game No no No it means we all put our dicks in Yeah you gotta You got a movie coming out On August 23rd I got two movies coming out I can't die now
Starting point is 00:36:57 August 23rd? Is that what you said? Well August 2nd And August 23rd Yeah but August 23rd Is the That's when World's End Is coming out Edgar Wright's new movie Oh no But the, that's when World's End is coming out.
Starting point is 00:37:05 Edgar Wright's new movie. Oh, no. But you're, it's going wide and yours is going to be small. There's like three other movies that are friends that are coming out
Starting point is 00:37:11 on the same day. Maybe we should make a joint poster for it. We'll see them all in one day. We'll make like a schedule. Your movie, though, is quite different from World's End
Starting point is 00:37:20 because that movie, of course, is about a pub crawl that goes spectacularly crazy. Yeah, this is... And yours, there's probably no pubs in the story
Starting point is 00:37:30 of a girl working with difficult children. Yeah, working in a foster care facility. Yeah. Let me go see Edgar's movie after.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Oh, that's a fun idea. Yeah. Because you'll need to cheer up. There's also Drinking Buddies, Joe Swanberg's movie that comes out
Starting point is 00:37:42 that day as well, which is about drinking. You're reading that too? Oh no, I'm just saying you should watch it after. If it comes out the same day, it'd be a fun day. That would. Can you hook me up with some more of this wine? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:56 Do you have more than one bottle of it? I'm gonna. They're gonna send you a crate of it after this wonderful exposure they've gotten. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure it's got something that makes you hallucinate in it.
Starting point is 00:38:11 Does wine normally have residue afterwards? No, not this. No, not that. There's residue. That's called meth. Yeah. Everything on the side of that bottle. Residu, I say.
Starting point is 00:38:20 Those are bath salts. Yes. Oh, fuck. We're drinking bath salts. Where did you buy? Did you have to go to the store, the actual Ed Hardy store, to purchase them?
Starting point is 00:38:29 I want to say, like, did Rob Hubel bring this to my house? Or something like that happened where somebody was being a dick and I'm like, yeah, okay, you're funny. I'm going to drink it. And then it turns out this is the last time you saw me walking around
Starting point is 00:38:42 and putting thoughts together. Well, I should ask you, though, can you come back on the show in two weeks' time, two weeks from tonight? That's quite likely. Yeah, as the reigning winner of the Leonard Maltin game. That is your option. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:59 So let's play a quick one where we start with Steve and then go to James. And Steve can pick a category. And would you like this kind of a fun category called In Theaters Now? It's, you know, just movies that are out right now. It's not fun. It is fun. I got out last time from that one.
Starting point is 00:39:16 It's not fun. Sorry. That was when you were on the 12 Guests at Christmas. Yeah, Rise of the Guardians. Who knew? You get to stay when you miss. So no one was actually in that. What do you mean?
Starting point is 00:39:26 Well, I didn't know what the voices were. Well, yeah, it's just, you know, they're real people, those little guys. I didn't think about it. Okay. Or The Rice Storm is movies that have weddings in them. Or Golden Shower's Playbook, and that's movies that begin with P.
Starting point is 00:39:44 The letter P. They don't start with somebody peeing. Which one of those would you like to do? Let's go Golden Showers. All right. If you picked in theaters now, it's going to be Pacific Rim. But you picked the other category.
Starting point is 00:40:00 This is a movie that begins with P, not unlike Pacific Rim. Leonard Maltin calls this movie a bomb. It's from 2001. He says it's jumbled junk, and that one actor plays two different roles,
Starting point is 00:40:15 and when he explains the two different roles, he then adds in parentheses, don't ask and don't watch. Yeah, Leonard really laid into this one. And he lists just a mere five names. So yeah, so the smart opening bid would probably be five names, but what do you think?
Starting point is 00:40:32 I'm going to go five. He says five, James. Name that movie. Oh my god. I'm super concerned based on the era that I might have written this. There's a slight cause for concern over here. Might not be, might not be.
Starting point is 00:40:53 Could be somebody else. That happens to the best of us. That was called The Pacifier. It begins with a T. Yeah, I know. Okay. But you move the backwards sometimes, so. Sometimes.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Not in this game. This is a movie that begins with P. And your five names are Wanda Sykes, Robert Vaughn, Jennifer Coolidge, Chris Rock, and Lance Crowther. All start in what movie that begins with P? That Leonard calls a bomb. And he says one person plays
Starting point is 00:41:25 two different parts but don't ask and don't watch. That's so rude. Oh man. So rude. Those people worked hard on that movie. I'm so not adept at this game. I'm going to say
Starting point is 00:41:41 There's nothing at stake so just name a movie that begins with P and maybe that'll be the one. Problem Child 5. I think you can go all the way back to Problem Child 1 to find the bomb designation, probably. But the movie is directed by a friend named Louis C.K. and it's called Pootie Tang.
Starting point is 00:42:07 Pootie Tang. Oh my goodness. Pootie fucking Tang. He says Chris Rock plays two roles. A hanger on and Pootie's laborer dad killed by a gorilla in a steel mill mishap. Don't ask and don't watch.
Starting point is 00:42:24 And that is, to me, that was the biggest laugh in the movies. The voiceover, Chris Rock says, or Pootie Tag says, my dad was killed by a gorilla and he shows him in a garage and a guy in a gorilla suit runs in and kills him. And I thought that was
Starting point is 00:42:40 pretty funny, but that's pretty early on in the movie and then kind of went bad from there. But that was fun. Fun little extra round of the game. Let's hear it for all of my guests tonight for a show that is ending right on time.
Starting point is 00:42:56 We'll see Tom Lennon in two weeks. We'll see Steven Yeun on the Walking Dead in October, and go see James Ponsoltz of Spectacular Now on August 2nd. And Short Term 12 with Brie Larson comes out on August 23rd.
Starting point is 00:43:12 And she's also in The Spectacular Now. She's in all the best movies. You're nice. And as always, as always, Jessica Gunderson is a shithead. And Latoya is a shithead. And Latoya is a shithead. And zombies are a shithead.
Starting point is 00:43:32 All right. By the way, it's actually Jennifer Gunderson. Shut it. There's no room in his heart for you Cause Doug loves movies
