While trying to think of Dial M for murder, Jeff Tate did just say murder as a guess,

And I've been saying bridge to terabitha those of you that laughed i don't know i think you should feel a little sad that you know how it's supposed to be pronounced because it's terabithia yeah i was saying it wrong all this time and i gotta stop for a second and thank that dude over there for wearing baggy shorts in the front row

Starting point is 00:05:29 Two, one newbie and two oldbies. Please give a big warm warm give a warm welcome to Neil Brennan, Paul Scheer, and Topher Grace. Woo!
Starting point is 00:05:53 Applause Applause Neil Brennan, Paul Scheer, and Topher Grace. Well, well, well. Paul Scheer, congratulations. Thank you, thank you. You just won the Pete Holmes Award for being the first to speak without being spoken to. But if it was the true Pete Holmes Award, I'd be yelling and I would still be speaking. And Topher wins whatever the opposite of that is
Starting point is 00:06:18 because he doesn't even want his microphone anywhere near his face. It's like he's from the 70s when they didn't have microphones. even want his microphone anywhere near his face. It's like he's from the 70s when they didn't have microphones. Neil Brennan is here, everybody! Looks like Neil played it just right. Mic is up and you still haven't spoken.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Yeah, and the glasses. These guys are probably intimidated by how smart you're going to be. Should be. But you kept it cash with the hoodie. Paul didn't get the call tonight. We were all going to wear hoodies. No, I know. That's what I'm a jam, too.
Starting point is 00:07:00 And the memo fell through the cracks. So we got to find that memo. But Neil. Do you think Topher's ever going to bring the mic up to his mouth? I don't think so. I think it's going to be our first ever fully mimed performance. But Neil. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:23 I always thought the Champs podcast that you do with Moshe Kasher, I never listened to it. I mean, I don't listen to a lot of podcasts. No offense or anything, but... Well, I've run a long list of podcasts you don't listen to. Yeah, I'll go through all of them, but I... But in the case of your podcast, I just didn't listen to it because I thought it was about sports. Yeah, it's
Starting point is 00:07:40 not. It's about... It's just you and Moshe being you and Moshe, which I would find hilarious. Yeah, it's a logo. It's just you and Moshe being you and Moshe, which I would find hilarious. Yeah, it's a logo. It's just a name, bro. Yeah, well, I mean, Douglas movies have fucking step up and do just that. But the champs, your thing has like a pen and donut or something. I know.
Starting point is 00:07:59 Look, it was a crazy time. You're winning at life. You're winning at life. Yeah, it was a sports talk. Why did this get made? There's a picture of Jason Manzoukas with a pregnant belly, which is a reference to Junior,
Starting point is 00:08:11 a motion picture that should not have gotten made. It's also how did this get made. That's how you do it. What did I call it? Why did this get made? Still good. Not bad. Who was killing all the great chefs of Europe
Starting point is 00:08:25 while this got made? Yeah. Yeah. Really deep reference that no one got. No one was behind it. I got it. I barely got it. Tover just spoke.
Starting point is 00:08:42 That's a movie that I know the title of, but I've never seen. Who's Killing All the Great Chefs. Is that from the A's at 81? Who's Killing the Great Chefs of Europe. Is that what it's called? Yeah, it starred George Segal. 81.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Jacqueline Bissette. Might have been pre or just post hot, wet t-shirt in the deep. And it's a it's a it's not only a whodunit but it's also a makes you want to vomit
Starting point is 00:09:12 because all these chefs create this amazing food but then also their deaths occur in and around all the food. Wow.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Yeah. So it's kind of I'm gonna run right out and run past every place that's playing that movie. I apologize for bringing it up. What the fuck is this show?
Starting point is 00:09:32 What the hell is going on here? Topher, I've said this for years on the podcast. By the way, Doug hasn't even come close to making eye contact with any of us. He just keeps making this fucking weird, fucking staring off into the distance. He's literally like Topher looking 50 feet away from Topher.
Starting point is 00:09:50 You should be wearing Ray Charles glasses and they're all tied together. Yeah. I'm sorry. I meant Jamie Foxx glasses. The original Ray Charles. He did Ray Charles better than Ray Charles. We want pre-note.
Starting point is 00:10:09 So, when the subject comes up, that's the first thing I think of. I always talk about this on the podcast. I don't want to embarrass you, but Ocean's Twelve, your scene at the beginning. I was in it for 30 seconds.
Starting point is 00:10:24 It's a little longer than that. It's not only the best scene in the movie, but the best scene at the beginning. I was in it for 30 seconds. It's a little longer than that. It's not only the best scene in the movie, but the best scene in most movies. I love that scene. I love that fucking scene. I'll watch that whole fucking movie just because I watched that scene. Because other characters are watching Ocean's 12 on screens.
Starting point is 00:10:38 It's the best part of that movie. Ocean's 11. Yeah, right? It's the first one. What happened? In Ocean's 11, he's in the first one what happened in Ocean's Eleven he's in the first scene but with a bunch
Starting point is 00:10:47 of other TV actors that have gone nowhere it's the first one I'm going to tell you a great story for your podcast which is I was supposed to be in the third one
Starting point is 00:10:55 as well and I couldn't do it because I was doing the best Spider-Man movie of the three thank you as it's thought of by everyone. Yeah, that's what you guys call it.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Top Spider-Man is what we call it. Top Spider-Man, right. But I was going to... Hey, I'll tell you the new Spider-Mans have given... There you go. What was it? Pete News? Please finish that, but I just want to quickly say
Starting point is 00:11:19 the new Spider-Mans have given... Hey, is this the Benson Interruption or the Douglas movies? Is this Benson Interruption or Douglas movies? This is an important point, Neil. All right, go ahead. The two new Spider-Mans have elevated Spider-Man 3 considerably. In my opinion. Yes.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Okay, continue. Amazing backhanded compliment. Got double backhanded. So the first one, Brad Pitt's teaching me how to play cards. And the second one, he comes in a room, like a hotel room that I've trashed. By the way, Brad Pitt told me, never drop names. And Clooney said the same thing. Don't be a name dropper.
Starting point is 00:11:54 If Julia Roberts was there, they would all be. But the third one I was supposed to be, and I talked to Soderbergh about this, and then I couldn't do it, which really broke my heart. It probably would have been, sadly, better than doing Spider-Man. I was going to be outside of a casino, and Rusty, Brad's character, is going to be running in, and I was going to be trying to get in, and I couldn't get in, but I was going to be holding an Asian baby the entire time.
Starting point is 00:12:20 But there's no reference to it. That's really sad that didn't happen. You'd think schedules would have been worked out because that would have been the best part of that one. I know. Well, all right. But yeah, Ocean's 12. Watch it.
Starting point is 00:12:35 Watch the first seven minutes or so. Hey, I want to give a shout out to Tover's performance in Traffic as well, which I've never... I don't know if I've ever directly... He's the best thing in Traffic. I don't know if anybody remembers. It's fucking unbelievable. Yeah. I don't know if I've ever directly, he's the best thing in Traffic. I don't know if anybody remembers. It's fucking unbelievable. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:47 I don't know why we're doing this now, but great movie. Is it Mrs. Michael Douglas in Traffic? Yeah, both of them are. How dare you? No, he is good at it. Well, now I'm on the spot to find my favorite Topher Grace scene.
Starting point is 00:13:02 If you had to think. If you had to think. I know, wow, jeez. Like, you guys really, well, I really enjoyed doing it. It's stellar. I you had to think. Geez, like you guys really... Well, I really enjoyed doing it. It's stellar. I enjoyed it. But we just worked together. We just did a film together. Actually, we did talk about that on the set of this movie
Starting point is 00:13:13 that we just did. I liked that movie a lot and you said that that's the movie that no one can remember the name of, as I also did not remember the name of. What's that Dennis Quaid movie? It's a great movie. Which is what you call it in Oceans 12. You said I phoned in that Dennis Quaid.? It's a great movie. Which is what you call it in Oceans 12. You said I phoned in that Dennis Quaid. I know too much about that scene.
Starting point is 00:13:31 But what's this movie you guys just did together? Tell us about that. Well, yeah, you produced it, and you wrote on it, created it. This is Topher's movie that I was lucky enough to be in in Mexico City. When Paul came down and wrote all the funny stuff. He's amazing. By the way, I know this is too sincere
Starting point is 00:13:47 for this show. You'll get cut off in a second. It's a great cast. It's Topher, Anne Heche, Taye Diggs, Rob Riggle.
Starting point is 00:14:05 That's like one of every kind. Yeah. Lauren Lapkus, myself, Brian Husky. Good crew. And here's the thing that I was upset about the most about this movie. When you got there, we got to Mexico City, and you're like, oh my gosh, you're going to have amazing Mexican food. And the packet they put in the thing is like hey don't eat tacos in Mexico City
Starting point is 00:14:26 you fucking dummy Mexico City has amazing cuisine you waste your time on tacos they talked down to us in the food brochure that they put in there like the welcome but they still have tacos everywhere yeah but they were like no don't do it so So I went out almost every night and never ate tacos. I was like, I got to eat Argentinian food and German food, I guess. Funnier to me. That's weird. Have you guys been to the movies lately? Neil Brennan, have you seen anything at the cinema or at home? I've been watching Screeners.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Oh, yeah. Oh, that reminds me. What did you bring for the prize money? Oh, I've been watching Screeners. Oh, yeah. Oh, that reminds me. What did you bring for the prize money? Oh, I brought a shitload of Screeners, guys. So, like, that's not a lot.
Starting point is 00:15:14 I saw you. You're not supposed to do that. Yeah, I shouldn't. If you win, don't burn it. I don't know what you have to do.
Starting point is 00:15:19 You have to burn it and then put it online. Oh, you gave the two ones that everyone gets. No. The judge. Oh, Fear of Everything two ones that everyone gets. The Judge. Oh, Fear of Everything. The Judge, Boyhood. Fear of Everything.
Starting point is 00:15:30 Birdman. Or the full title, the something, something, something. Most Violent Year. That did not work out for them. Zero nominations. They sent this out to everybody. That movie is so low. Into the Woods, Unbroken.
Starting point is 00:15:47 You've watched all of these? Wouldn't it be fun if I broke this copy of Unbroken? That would be pretty great. Into the Woods, didn't see it. Unbroken, didn't see it. You just didn't even watch them? Here, as a responsible, you should take them back. No, I got dupes.
Starting point is 00:16:04 That's short for duplicates, y'all. as a responsible, you should take them back. No, I got dupes. That's short for duplicates, y'all. The last movie I saw was Night at the Museum 3. In the theater. Which sounds like a joke. Do you have like a foster child? No, I'm not even kidding. I swear to God,
Starting point is 00:16:19 I'm in the Big Brothers program and I took my little brother to go see it. I swear to God. That was my guess. Why else would you go see that? Yeah, why else would you see it? And it worked out
Starting point is 00:16:27 for both of you? Yeah, it was great. Okay. I'm trying not to do a sex joke right now. I saw a good movie recently that I want to get the word out on.
Starting point is 00:16:37 A movie called The Guest. It's on iTunes starring that guy from Downton Abbey. Yeah. And it's really good it's like a John Carpenter-esque
Starting point is 00:16:48 kind of film about a guest I won't tell you any more than that but it's funny it's scary did you bring these Earwolf shirts?
Starting point is 00:16:57 yes I brought two Christmas themed Earwolf shirts it would have been weird if Topher brought Earwolf shirts and I also brought a bag that you can carry home the Earwolf shirts in
Starting point is 00:17:07 that supports your L.A. public libraries. Because, you know, come on. Support your L.A. public libraries, you fucking dummies. And become a big brother. Become a big brother. Here, and let's have, this will be signed by Topher Grace. This item right here. I didn't bring anything because he wrote me this morning at 9 a.m.
Starting point is 00:17:26 You have to bring merchandise? No, I was just like just bring anything, you know, like just whatever. Like, you know. Is this going to increase
Starting point is 00:17:33 the value of this? I hope so. He signed it with such contempt. Did you see that? I wanted to watch Boyhood with my wife. My wife! My wife!
Starting point is 00:17:54 I don't know how to describe how she said it because I don't remember verbatim, but she's like, oh, I can't watch that movie with those... She thought they were three different kids. She didn't realize it was one kid over 10 years. I can't watch that movie with those. She thought they were three different kids. Like, she didn't realize it was one kid over, like, ten years. She can't watch that movie where a different actor takes over the role every six years? I'm going to sign this boyhood one.
Starting point is 00:18:16 And I say... Let's see this. Suck it. I'd make it in four years. That doesn't make any sense at all. All right. Why drag it out, you're saying? Yeah. Just get it over with.
Starting point is 00:18:35 You could have done it in four years. Someone could change enough in four years that it's interesting. But Topher didn't... Yeah, four through eight is a great... You could get a lot of different faces in there. Quickly though, Paul, you're on this new show, Fresh Off the Boat.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Yeah. Controversial program. Where do you stand? Are you pro or against? Let me come do my Asian baby thing. I am pro. I am pro. I am pro-Asian. I've always said pro-Asian.
Starting point is 00:19:12 You played Mitch on the show? Where do you get this information? Yes, I played Mitch on the show fresh off the boat. ABC, February 4th. Back-to-back episodes after Modern Family. Actually, I think the show is really funny.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Sure. I've heard it's funny. I've heard that. Yeah, it's very funny. I wouldn't bring it up if it looked like garbage. It's based on this guy Eddie Wong's memoir. Eddie Wong is this New York City kind of chef, and his family moved to Orlando,
Starting point is 00:19:41 and they're the only Asian people in town. So it's kind of like a wonder... Asian 80s wonder years. Or 90s. Yeah, and the dad is very funny. He's great in the interview. Yeah, Randall Park's the dad. He's great. And it's created by Nanachka Khan who created that show
Starting point is 00:19:58 The Bee in Apartment 23, which I also thought was pretty funny. Well, not too much of a point for that. Right. Thought it was funny. Well, you know, that's part of why it's gone
Starting point is 00:20:08 is because people just didn't catch it at the right, you know, just didn't hit the right. But fresh off the boat, February 4. Let's do it, you guys. Guys, I'm a 9 out of 12.
Starting point is 00:20:19 If all 100 of us watch it, I think it's going to do pretty good. It's the Asian blackish. All of us watch it. I think it's going to do pretty good. It's the Asian blackish. Has anybody in this panel seen Two Days, One Night?
Starting point is 00:20:33 Never. The French film that Marion Cotillard got nominated for Best Actress for? No. It is... Imagine The Office if it wasn't comedy, if it was a dramatic version of The Office. The British or American Office? Just either one. Do they look at the camera?
Starting point is 00:20:51 The French one, the French one, where it's just people in uncomfortable conversations for the entire movie. Do they do zoom-ins and people look at the camera and stuff? No, no, it's not documentary style. It's played like it's a narrative feature, No, it's not documentary style. It's played like it's a narrative feature,
Starting point is 00:21:12 but it's also very intense and a small story of this one woman who has to convince at least half of the people she works with to give up their annual bonus so that she won't get laid off. And she's got two days to do it. So every scene is ding-dong. Hey, could you let go of that 1,000 euros so I could keep my job? No? Okay, nice talking to you.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Bonjour. And then they kiss. After an ugly conversation, they still fucking kiss on the cheek every time. It's crazy. So check it out, you guys. Wait, and Paul is in it? Paul, you're in it?
Starting point is 00:21:48 I am in it. Paul is in it. He plays... I play your boss. I'm like, you get that money! I'm American here in France, and I want that money! Go out, get it! I have a big Texas oil hat on,
Starting point is 00:22:02 and a pin that says, I am for Asians. Real quick, because of the timing, Super Bowl prediction? Neil Brennan? Fucking Seattle. All right.
Starting point is 00:22:18 Yeah. Topher? I would say the same. I'd say Seattle as well. All right, you guys. I'm going Seattle as well. All right, you guys. I'm going to say the Pats because, you know, I want people from Boston to still listen to this program. I mean, all I have to say...
Starting point is 00:22:34 Even if the Patriots win, it will be an asterisk. People will be like, they don't belong there because they deflated those balls. And then it will be a whole thing. That is the weirdest controversy. Bill Nye. Bill Nye and
Starting point is 00:22:50 Neil deGrasse Tyson both have come out and been like, it's impossible. They were like, Neil deGrasse Tyson said the balls would have had to have been heated up to 150 degrees and then immediately brought out into the cold for them to have had that happen to them. So yeah,
Starting point is 00:23:08 there's a little fact for you. Well, this is the perfect time for me to say, let the games begin! Gentlemen, audience members have brought various personal IDs and name tags and various things. So just go out amongst them.
Starting point is 00:23:34 And, yeah, there are posters sometimes. Sometimes it's a guy's phone. And just go out there, Topher and Neil and Paul, and pick whatever name tag you like to play for. I'll go with the Lion King one. And while you do that, just go grab it from him. Are you going to make him come to you? I kind of like that. While you guys do that, we'll do this.
Starting point is 00:23:52 We'll be right back. And we're back. Who are you playing for, Neil Brennan? I'm playing for, is his name on here? He's got a Glenn Gary Glenn Ross poster. Yeah, so his name, I know this gentleman, is Glenn.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Oh, it's Glenn. But he's also got Glenn Campbell, Gary Busey, and Ross from Friends. Why does Ross from Friends have a helmet on his head like he's... Like from the movie. Like they did in the movie.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Like Jack Lemmon wore in the movie. Hold that up some more. I want to make a vine of it. I got my vine up and running again. I'm so... Are you doing your vines again? I'm so excited about my vines. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Who are you playing for, Tovar? I'm playing for Brian, who gave me this, the Brian King. The Brian King. That is a delightful name tag. And it's on a stick, so you can save it and eat it later. And who are you playing for, Paul Scheer? I'm doing my best to say his name is James Bend. James Bend, who has given me a James Bond
Starting point is 00:25:06 like that material poster. It's a Foley artist's lightning. It is highlighting all of the classic Roger Moore movies. And when you look at them all, you go, wow, he really didn't make many good ones. Live and Let Die, good. Man with the Golden Gun, not so good.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Spy Who Loved Me, I guess kind of good. Moonraker, not so good. For Your Eyes Only, kind of okay. Octopussy, not so good. Voodoo Kill, definitely not good. Wow, well, you really got through that so much quicker than that show James Bonding where they talk about each one for an hour and a half. But I was on it and it was fun.
Starting point is 00:25:49 It was very fun. Oh, you did it too? I thought that was a joke. I didn't even think it was real. You did James Bonding, Paul? I did. Which movie did you do? I picked On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Starting point is 00:26:00 because that movie I feel like I really like that no one really cares for. That's a good one. Yeah, it's George Lazenby, the one Bond movie. Yeah, he was one and out, but it was a really good movie. Yeah, I liked it a lot. Yeah, yeah. Tully Savalas? I'd put it top ten Bond movies.
Starting point is 00:26:14 I would concur. Okay. Where would you put that compared to Topher Spider-Man? I don't think it should be called Topher Spider-Man I really don't think that's a good meme to put out there I think that Spider-Man is easily in the top 10 James Bond films I think that's
Starting point is 00:26:40 no one's going to argue that I think it's more like the guy from Wings Spider-Man Thomas Hayden Church I think that's, no one's going to argue that. I think it's more like the guy from Wings, Spider-Man. Thomas Hayden Church. Mm-hmm. I thought the guy from Wings would be funnier. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:26:53 I don't think people remember him from Wings. He was so good on that. I think people are going, was Steven Weber in Spider-Man 3? What was the name of his show with,
Starting point is 00:27:02 wasn't he on a show with Debra Messing? Yeah, like Ned and Stacey. That's not like that. That's exactly right. Based on the Roman show. Go home and tell your wife you knew that one. All right, Neil Brennan,
Starting point is 00:27:17 Topher Grace, Paul Scheer, let's play some games starting with to determine who goes first in the Leonard Malton game tonight, we're going to do some lines with Mark. You guys want to do some fucking lines? Mark Wahlberg is a frequent guest on the show and is nice enough when he can't be here because of his busy filming schedule.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Gambler 2 is already a big shot. I worked with Mark last week anyway. is nice enough when he can't be here because of his busy filming schedule. Gambler 2 is already being shot. I worked with Mark last week anyway. No big deal. You did, really? I did, honestly. In what? A movie called Daddy's Home.
Starting point is 00:27:56 You may have seen the viral video of Will Ferrell hitting the cheerleader. Look behind Will Ferrell, and that's me. Hitting Mark Wahlberg. And Mark Wahlberg was there as well. Oh, okay. That's their re-teaming since the other guys. I still haven't seen the other guys. It's good.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Oh, good. Guy over there just fucking finished off. So good. And one of the funniest opening scenes in a movie, too. Steve Coogan's in it. It's great. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:31 Go see it. Other guys. I'm going to watch it. I'm watching 365 movies this year, so it fits in perfectly. I've seen that hashtag. What does that mean? Every day you have to do a movie? Not every day, but I just have to catch up if I don't watch one one day.
Starting point is 00:28:44 I have to watch two the next. Got it. I'm about seven. What if you don't watch one on the second day? What do you do on the third day? It gets crazy. It's all about catch up. It's all about going through my VOD looking for movies that are 85 minutes.
Starting point is 00:29:00 Yeah. Just bang those out. Yeah, how are you picking them? You're not being assigned them no I just get to pick I just follow certain trails like you know if there's an actor I like in something and I haven't seen a few of their other films
Starting point is 00:29:14 I'll finish them off how far into it are you how many days we're 27 days in today's the 27th when did you start regretting it no I love it because I really We're 27 days in. Today's the 27th. When did you start regretting it? No, I love it because I really do.
Starting point is 00:29:31 I'm going to see pretty close to that number anyway. Maybe 100 shy, so it's just making me work harder at it. Are you writing a book about it or something? There should be a bigger payoff. No, that's the weird thing about it. It's just very low stakes. I tried a thing last year where it was a movie a day, and I gave up at one point. That's the weird thing about it. It's just very low stakes. I tried a thing last year where it was a movie a day and I gave up at one point.
Starting point is 00:29:48 So this year I'm making up for it by saying, well, I'll watch 365. I just won't. Because I go to film festivals and see four or five in a day sometimes. Right. So that ends up making up for it.
Starting point is 00:29:59 That's going to be a great week for you. Yeah. Yeah. It is a great week for me. I love watching movies all day. No, I know. I'm just saying, but that will be like a good makeup week. You can go there like 20 behind and you're back in.
Starting point is 00:30:09 You're back in. Mm-hmm. I like it. Let's talk about this on your podcast. All right. Because it's also a movie podcast. What movie have you seen recently that is the most like, why did that, you know, how did this get made? Which one did you have both of those questions for uh the one that was they both the one that we just did was tango and cash uh which is stallone and kurt russell and the thing
Starting point is 00:30:41 that i'm still blown away by it's supposed to be like two cops from the opposite side of the tracks. One's from Beverly Hills and one's from downtown L.A. But there's no difference between them at all. Like, you would think, like, you know, Kurt Russell would be like, fuck it, I'll shoot those guys. And then Stallone would be like, no, no, we'll talk to them. But they're both like, fuck it, we'll shoot those guys. Like, the only difference is one wears a Henley and one wears a suit. And for a majority of the movie, they're both like, fuck it, we'll shoot those guys. The only difference is one wears a Henley and one wears a suit.
Starting point is 00:31:06 And for a majority of the movie, they're both wearing prison costumes. So really, it's Muddy's. In Muddy's, there's no like, oh, he uses his smarts, he uses his brawn. They both use their brawn all the time. That's probably why there wasn't a sequel. Yeah, you're probably right. yeah i i thought of a title
Starting point is 00:31:27 for it though yeah tango cash 2 let's dance okay one more thing about tango cash amazing the whole movie leads up to them high-fiving like that's the end of the movie like they won't high-five they get close to it the entire movie like hey you're not so ah you're not so bad but they won't they don't high-five at the end of the movie they literally like put it back in their pocket yeah they get close to it and they pull it away and then the end is bam and then freeze frame cover the newspaper tangle and cash are back literally that's how the movie the movie is told through so many
Starting point is 00:32:08 newspaper headlines it's comical not since Newsies have you seen the front page of a paper so often in a film I've been alive for a couple years four or five years
Starting point is 00:32:24 and I've never seen cops be front page headlines and never seen a cop called out. I've never gotten to know a cop team. Yeah. No matter how good their drug busts are. I've lived in a bunch of cities. I've lived in New York and Chicago, and I lived in Orlando for a little bit, guys.
Starting point is 00:32:42 You're never following the exploits of two roadside drug drivers. I've never fallen in love with a cop team. Fair enough. Orlando for a little bit, guys. You're never following the exploits of two real time in love with Cop Team. Fair enough. Mark Wahlberg is going to say a line from a mosted picture. And the
Starting point is 00:32:58 first one of you to say into your microphone the title of the movie, you will win this game. So listen up. You guys want to do some fucking lines? Yeah, we are. All I wanted was something to eat. But the man caught potion, sir.
Starting point is 00:33:15 They drew first blood. Not me. I got a Rambo first blood. Oh. Yeah, it's just called first blood. Why is he saying first blood in the quote? That would be a little tough.
Starting point is 00:33:30 That's ridiculous. But you still were the fastest to repeat it back. That's First Blood. First Blood. Because you just heard him say First Blood. Hey, I win that way. I'll take that win. Paul Scheer's our winner, everybody.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Yeah. That's a Tom Brady win that I'm taking. Mm-hmm. All right, so here's what we're going to do do We're going to play a Leonard Maltin game First person to two points is going to be our winner We'll start with Paul And then we'll go to Neil And then next to you, Topher
Starting point is 00:33:56 So by then you should have a good idea What's going on Paul Celebrating a birthday today Our friend Patton Oswalt very nice yeah he turns 27 today
Starting point is 00:34:09 and so the films of Patton Oswalt great he's been in at least seven films reviewed by Leonard Bolton at Asa underscore Davis suggested Glove Actually
Starting point is 00:34:23 okay Glove Actually and thatve Actually. And that's the films of O.J. Simpson. Okay. And then someone named Rocktober Serps S-U-R-P-R-Z suggested Turner and Cooch.
Starting point is 00:34:38 Turner and Cooch. And that's movies where Kathleen Turner appears nude. Movies where you see Kathleen Turner's cooch. Wow. You see Turner and cooch. All right, well. Which one of those would you like to play?
Starting point is 00:34:55 I'm going to go. Have you been in a movie with Patton Oswalt? I might have been. Yeah, so that could be a leg up. I know. I would pick Patton, but I feel like he may be in things I don't know, so I'm going to go with O.J. Simpson. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:11 Because we all know all of his stuff. Yeah. 1977 is the year. Okay. Three stars from Leonard. He calls this movie entertaining. He says it's epic. And he says it was filmed in France
Starting point is 00:35:25 And Italy And he lists Looks like 11 names How many names Can you get it in Paul Scheer 8 names He says 8 names Neil Brennan Playing for Glenn
Starting point is 00:35:39 This is the OJ one Paul's playing for Ben This is the OJ category right Paul's playing for Ben. This is the OJ category, right? Yeah, 1977. Let's go. I guess I'll... I'm pretty sure Patton wasn't in films yet at that point. What?
Starting point is 00:35:53 All right, I sense the tone. I sense the tone. I know that. What'd you say? Can I pass? Nuh-uh. Then I'll try seven. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:04 He says seven, Topher. Now, Topher, at this point, you can challenge Neil and say, name that movie, or you can go lower. You can fuck him over right now. And then you get the point. I get the point, but you ask me the question, and I have to get it right. Right now. If you say name it to Neil, if he can't do it with these names, then you'll get the point. Oh, name it.
Starting point is 00:36:25 Yeah. Oh, Jason. It's not the Naked Gun. I'm in real trouble. What do you get, seven? I hadn't thought, but the location thing really turned me around. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Lionel Stander. Of course. Aida Valley. Oh, she's... Okay, now I know. Ingrid Thulin. I'm psyched to win this. John Philip Law.
Starting point is 00:36:53 OJ Simpson. Lee Strasberg. What? Wow. Yeah. That's six. And Martin Sheen. Do you give any... Martin Sheen? Mm-en. Do you give any hints?
Starting point is 00:37:05 Martin Sheen? Do you give any hints? Did you hear those things I said before? Italy. France. Three stars. Entertaining. This is entertaining.
Starting point is 00:37:17 How many movies are entertaining? That narrows it down right there. Good O.J. movie. Epic. I think Topher's going to get a point. I think he is, too. I feel like O.J. did. I think you're in a spot.
Starting point is 00:37:30 I want to say like Frogman or something, but I think that was a TV pilot. I know that because apparently he used the wetsuit when he murdered Nicole. That's the truth. That's what I've heard. It hasn't been proven. He would have found that killer if he didn't go to jail for threatening that guy with a gun. Doug, I do not know the name of that movie. Can I guess?
Starting point is 00:37:50 You can guess, but this is a really tough one. Okay, then I won't guess. No, go ahead and guess, though. No, it's back to... Just name something he was in. Well, I was going to say Capricorn 1, but then I knew that the locations kind of threw me off and then I was going to say Tower of Inferno. Capricorn 1 with the fake Mars landing
Starting point is 00:38:05 was filmed in France and Italy. But, you know, that's why it blew me off. Now it's Towering Inferno, but... Yeah, that's another one he's in where he saves the cat at the end. Yeah, but doesn't... Which is the wrong way to make screenplay structure. The lady who falls out of the building,
Starting point is 00:38:20 and not only falls out of it, but, like, hits her head on the side of it going down like that guy in Titanic. Yeah. That's always brilliant when that happens. Tone for Grace has a point because the film is called
Starting point is 00:38:32 The Cassandra Crossing. The Cassandra Crossing. Obviously. Starring Burt Lancaster, Sophia Loren, and Richard Harris. Wow. Yeah, classic.
Starting point is 00:38:42 You don't go from top to bottom. We go bottom up. Bottom up. But you're getting it. By the way, I didn't know the rules either. And you're winning. You're winning and you're getting it. At the same time,
Starting point is 00:38:53 we're going to start with Paul this time and then go to Topher. And Paul gets to pick between these categories. A USA Aussie suggested Ken Jennings, which is movies that are uh the title is in the form of a question uh at saggin baggins uh on twitter suggested apollo 86 which is movies where carl weathers dies okay where apollo gets 86. And Jordan Cole sucks suggested Interstellar
Starting point is 00:39:28 got her groove back. Which is Matthew McConaughey romantic comedies. Wow. I'm going to pick. Okay. I'm going to. What was the middle one? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:39:46 Apollo 86. Apollo 86. Carl Weathers dies. Would you like a movie where Carl Weathers dies from 1985, 1987, or 1996? He had a tough time getting through movies. I'm going to say... Let me take 96.
Starting point is 00:40:05 Okay. Two stars from Leonard. He says that the lead performer in this movie co-wrote the script. He also says that a brawl in the movie is a highlight. And I think that's all I can say. It's a vehicle? That's not a good clue. And he lists 11 names.
Starting point is 00:40:32 All right. How many names can you get it in? Ten names. He says ten names, Topher. What are you going to do about that? You can go nine names, or you could say name it, but in my experience, that's a lot of names
Starting point is 00:40:46 for a good player like Paul Scheer. Okay. I'm going to go nine names. Just shave one off, yeah. Yeah. That's the best advice you could get.
Starting point is 00:40:56 I know the movie. Well, you know, you can go negative names if you fear that Paul Scheer might also go to the movie. Can I get the point back that Tover got? No, no, that's his to keep. That's mine, dude. That's mine. A one is points.
Starting point is 00:41:13 But I appreciate your spirit. What do I do? If you know the top build person, you can go negative one. If you know the top two build people in the right order, you can go negative two, three, four, five, and so on. Or you could just say. If you know the top two people in the right order, you can go negative two, three, four, five, and so on. Or you could just say zero
Starting point is 00:41:28 if you know the movie. Zero. He says zero names, Paul. I can't do it. You can't do it. What's it called? Happy Gilmore. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Oh. That was good. Neil has a point. Same producers, half-baked, guys. Same producers, half-baked, guys. Same producers, half-baked. Great to see. I should go. Topher gets to pick the next category,
Starting point is 00:41:52 and then we will go to Paul, and Topher gets to choose between Inherent Lice, that's summer camp movies, LOL Cool J, that's comedies with LOL Cool J. Or the Blueberry Johnson category, which is, that's who suggested it. You're in this.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Movies that someone on this panel is in. Which one of those would you... Which one of those would you like to play? It could be me, but I've mostly been an extra, so... I don't have any big speaking parts in anything. I've been in two movies, I think. One of them's half-baked, I know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:40 Yeah, I'm gonna go with movies I might have been in. Yeah. All right. It's gonna be Topher. It's going to be Topher It's not going to be me Two and a half stars from Leonard This sounds like maybe it's mine Apologies to put your hands together
Starting point is 00:43:03 This movie's from 2004. Leonard Maltin calls this movie cute. He also calls it slight at best. No names. Wait a second. Slow down. Sorry. And he lists eight names.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Paul Scheer gets to bid first, so that's a bit of a clue. I am going to say zero names. I'm sorry. Wait a second. Topher gets to bid first. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you said zero names?
Starting point is 00:43:39 What's negative? Do I get extra points for that? Negative is no extra points, but you might win the game. Negative is you've got to name the performers from the top of the billing. So if you go negative willing, you've got negative names. Do you have names? You just have to go negative one, just name the top-billed person. Like if you said Mission Impossible, you'd be like Tom Cruise.
Starting point is 00:44:01 In the right order. Yeah, that's the tricky part. According to Leonard. All you need is one or two. What's right order. Yeah, that's the tricky part. According to Leonard. All right. How many? One or two. What's your first pick? Oh, he needs one.
Starting point is 00:44:09 When you say negative one, that's all you need. You don't have to go to all the eight or something. You don't have to show off like that. Whatever you think he can't do. Hang on, hang on. Does it have to be in Leonard Maltin's order, though? That's what I'm afraid of. That's the trick.
Starting point is 00:44:20 It's in Leonard Maltin's order. Yeah, I wouldn't go too deep. He changes it up sometimes. Oh, it's not top billing. It's in Lanham on Dorn. Yeah, I wouldn't go too deep. He changes it up sometimes. Oh, it's not top billing. It's tricky. It normally is top billing. It's pretty normal. I like that you still remember the billing
Starting point is 00:44:29 from one of your movies fucking 10 years ago. Can I also include what I got paid for? Far from one of Paul O'Neill's movies. I really do believe I know this, but I'm excited to see. I know I know this. So how many negative do you want to go? I'm going to go...
Starting point is 00:44:43 Just don't go too crazy. I would be buying this. I want to impress, though. It go? I'm going to go... Just don't go too crazy. I would be mine. I want to impress, though. It's my first time. You're already winning. Yeah. That's true. I'm going to do negative three.
Starting point is 00:44:54 That's what I was going to do. Yeah. That's all I know. I only know this is... This is one of the rare movies that doesn't end in a question mark. It ends in an exclamation point. And that is Win a Date with Tad Hamilton.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Did I poker face it? What do you mean? Paul still gets to bid. No. Do I? I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do more than three.
Starting point is 00:45:19 So you're going to say name that movie? Name that movie totally. All right. So yeah, that's... Win a Date with Tad Hamilton. That's the correct title. Top billed person is? Kate Bosworth. Second? Me. Name that movie, Topher. All right. So yeah, that's the correct title. Top Bill person is? Kate Bosworth.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Second? Me. Third? Josh Duhamel. Whoa, I would not have thought that. You got it correct. Topher is our winner. Where's the Brian King?
Starting point is 00:45:40 Come down and get your prizes, Brian King. Brian, I did this for you. Congratulations, Brian. Does it really end in an exclamation point? He did it for you. It does. It does. I looked at it to confirm. People don't say that name right. It's not Win a Date with Ted Hamilton. It's like Win a Date with Ted Hamilton. Win a Date with
Starting point is 00:45:57 Ted Hamilton. Cute comedy. Slide it best. But a winning cast Oh Fantastic Yeah Plays it for real With no cynicism in sight
Starting point is 00:46:13 Yeah Who directed it? That was directed by Robert Luketic Is that how you pronounce it right? That's right And he did You know
Starting point is 00:46:21 Legally Blonde And what else? Didn't he do The Killers With Ashton Kutcher? He got through the whole 70s show cast. Wait a second. Ben, you didn't write a thing on the back. Is there a shithead on there or no?
Starting point is 00:46:35 I just took it. He put a whole piece of paper, taped it to the back of the name tag. It was all set to go. But he didn't have a pen. Oh, shit. Well, come over, but he didn't have a pen. Oh, shit. Well, come over here, and I'll give you a pen. You can write it right on there. I don't need your whole name tag anymore,
Starting point is 00:46:53 but write it on that table. I like your Yoda tie. And take that back. Well, I'll tell you what I don't like about the Yoda tie. First of all, I like the Yoda tie, but I don't like Yoda's placement in the Death Star throne room. Weird, right?
Starting point is 00:47:13 Yeah, it should be more of a Dagobah tie. Fair enough. Let's see what you have. I thought you only read my guy. No, I'll read it. Just pass it down. Yeah, that's what they get because they didn't win.
Starting point is 00:47:28 You won for your guy, so we're not going to say he's a shithead. Any plugs, Neil Brennan? Anything we should know other than listen to the champs with Moshe Kasher? Big brothers. Become a big brother.
Starting point is 00:47:42 I'm serious, yeah. It's so easy. It's super easy. It's super easy. You can show up in a hoodie. Yeah, you don't got to... Yeah, it's so easy. It's super easy. You can show up in a hoodie. Yeah, you don't get a few bucks. Wait, what was the question? Do I have anything to plug?
Starting point is 00:47:50 Any plugs? And he was like, be a big brother. Be a big brother, for real. Yeah, that might have sounded weird to you. It was like, what should we plug, brothers?
Starting point is 00:48:00 Big brothers. Big brothers are good. What are you saying? What's the name of the movie, Topher, that you made that Paul and you wrote in? You don't even have a title yet? It's going to be a while away. We'll come back for that.
Starting point is 00:48:12 I would love that. And we'll bring Taye Diggs. Let's definitely do that. He loves comedy. Thank you, Topher, for coming in with nothing to plug. You got it, man. Thank you for having me. You didn't really ask him. You may have something to plug. I don't.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Actually, you know what? I'd really, really love to get the word out there about this film that I did in 2004 called Win a Date with Tad Hamilton. It's like, I feel like not enough people saw that. I would like to plug my podcast, the Sylvester Stallone
