Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers screening baby sticky seeds with 50 as a pop or kernels in his teeth. They're still not one that he won't see because Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey everybody. My name is Doug and I love movies. Yes, close New Year's Nice try Coming to you once again from the holiday taint
Starting point is 00:00:37 at the American Comedy Company in Sweet Home San Diego It's Saturday December 27th 2025 are all alive.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Good for us. Let's get to what you're all here for. Doug plugs. Doug plugs. Settle down. That was exciting. If you're in the O.C
Starting point is 00:01:14 on the day this episode comes out, Monday, December 29th, the next and only stop on my annual taint tour is tonight at the Irvine Improv where I'll be doing stand-up with special guests Amy Miller and Chad Opitz
Starting point is 00:01:32 looking to next year the events and movie interruption is back at Dynasty Typewriter in L.A. on Wednesday, January 7th and I'm doing stand-up at Sports Drink in New Orleans, Louisiana, January 9th, and 10th. For all my dates and deeds and links, go to
Starting point is 00:01:49 Doug Lovesmovesmovies.com. That's Douglovesmovies. Yeah, cacaw. Wallet, wallet, Teddancing, shh. I did those in the wrong order, but that's basically what's supposed to happen there. Are you ready to meet our guests today? Well, you're going to have to wait because I want to tell you about the prize bag first. It's a limited edition
Starting point is 00:02:24 Douglo's movies tote I'll show it to the people that will probably win it and inside the bag I stuffed a bunch of things that I have sitting around the house but I get some pretty cool things that I don't know what to do with
Starting point is 00:02:42 like these what are they called smart glasses I feel like just regular glasses make me feel smart but these, I guess, have like a camera in them or something. That's pretty fancy. Oh, I brought some snacks from the train that they hand out to you.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Oh, a copy of on DVD Weekend at Bernie's Two. Yeah, see, some of you don't feel so bad about not being able to participate, do you? A copy of the book, The Secret. Got a nice... Nice remnant to candy cane without a, without the twist. It's just a straight-ass candy cane, like a barber pole. I should have done these in a different order. It didn't really build up to the best thing.
Starting point is 00:03:34 And then finally a dugout that he used to hold marijuana. And it's from the company, the animation company, Tit Mouse, has their name on it. I feel like that's something I got at like Comic-Con last summer. And then Doug loves movies in a Doug Benson pin. All of that is going to one of these people. That's why people come down here to get that. Some will travel from as far as Sandtee. Now are you ready to meet our guests?
Starting point is 00:04:20 Give it everybody for Yorgo, Arzitis, Chad Opitz, and Mal Hall. Hey, fellas. Thanks for coming. Be very careful. They have super fancy new golden. microphones here and every time you move it, we can hear the, like if you touch the cord or move the cord around, see that, we can hear it. So it's the absolute best awful microphones money can buy. Like, oh, isn't it neat that they're gold? Yep. And then that's where the neatness stops. I'm going to have to write to my congressman or something to get microphones back to normal. But they sure do look cool.
Starting point is 00:05:20 So good luck, fellas, not making noise with your microphones. Let's meet them all individually and alphabetically by first name. And coincidentally, they're sitting in that order as well. He is a stand-up comedian and frequent guest on this podcast. It's Chad Opitz. Hello. Hey, Chad. Hello.
Starting point is 00:05:51 How was the drive down from Los Angeles? There's a little bit of traffic, but, you know, I got here. It all worked out okay. That's the bottom line. That is the bottom line. You managed to get here. What did it clock in at? Three hours, you think?
Starting point is 00:06:07 About that. Yeah, I would say about three hours. That seems about average. Yeah, not bad. I took the train. Took the same amount of time. Oh. Seen again, you got snacks on it?
Starting point is 00:06:18 I got snacks. I got to like, you know, walk around. I always like walking around on a train because it feels so like when you ever see a movie where characters are on a train, they're always walking from car to car. You get to hit that button
Starting point is 00:06:30 that makes the door open. And the whole time it's rattling, it's like shaking back and forth in a way that you're like, oh, I could easily just smash my hip into something and really hurt myself. So that makes it very exciting and fun. There's usually like a car filled with chickens.
Starting point is 00:06:46 I don't know if you notice that. There's a chicken car. In movies or in real life? Because I could not find the chicken car today. There's a lot of chicken cars. I would have loved it because the snack box isn't great. I would have loved to catch and kill and eat my own chicken. Every train is Indiana Jones train in your brain.
Starting point is 00:07:05 Exactly. That reminds me. There are chickens in that plane that crashes in Temple of Doom, and we never take any time to feel bad for them. No. It's a damn tragedy. You know, Indian short round and the lady, they all jump out in a raft. I don't know how that even worked.
Starting point is 00:07:26 He is a San Diego comedy feed. Mal Hall is here, everybody. Hey. Hey, Mal, your latest spesh is called What Are We Doing Today? Well, I'll tell you what we're doing here today. We're going to play some movie trivia, your favorite. Yeah, I am very scared. I'm not a cinephile, so I'm just here to plug my special.
Starting point is 00:07:55 It's called What Are We Doing Today? Please watch it. It's streaming on YouTube at mallhallTV.com, and it's appropriate for all ages. And it's hilarious and watch it with your family. Is my commercial done, Doug? Yeah. So what are we doing today? Is that a quote from like your child?
Starting point is 00:08:14 No, it's a quote that I say to my child. I say to my child, yeah. I don't cuss at people when we're in the car, but I condescendingly yell at traffic. What are we doing today, as I'm in no hurry to get anywhere? And it's like my catchphrase with my kids. And the kids don't understand the context. So they're like, I don't know what we're doing today, Dad.
Starting point is 00:08:35 What are we doing today? No, what is this traffic? What are all these other people doing today? Yes. All these A-holes out here, keeping us from our important business. Well, yeah, everybody do go check that out. The first time Mal was on the show was in Salt Lake City, and he was up against two guys that really know their stuff,
Starting point is 00:08:59 and he won. So it's anybody's game. You should not be intimidated that our third guest is an actual filmmaker and recurring guest on the show. It's Yorgo Art Citas, everybody. Is it weird that I'm dressed festively for three days ago? I, you know, I never know what to do
Starting point is 00:09:23 about, you know, Christmas and how long it's supposed to last. I do know that I will say what are we doing today when I see Christmas lights after what is this? What do we do? I mean, the idea that, like, Disneyland
Starting point is 00:09:39 keeps their lights out until January 2nd, what are we doing today? Yeah. Oh, Disney will go to, like, Jan 7 or 9, like, whatever the first. the second Monday is or something like that they're milking it I bet Legoland San Diego's own they're down the 25th at 1159 I love this place because the green room back here if you've ever seen it it's a lot of fun wacky stuff going on and
Starting point is 00:10:02 they decorated by putting one small pillow that's the shape of the Christmas tree on one of the chairs that was like unless they've taken it all down which I would love that if I'm January 27th they're like that shit's got to go leave the Christmas. Are you a big Christmas person, though? Like, it's your favorite holiday? Is it my favorite holiday? I guess so. I do like it. I like the fact that there's
Starting point is 00:10:27 movies based on it. But I really, really, really hate Christmas music before about December 10th. Yeah. I don't like it. I don't like Mariah Carey. Like, come on, be loud. We exist. We don't like Christmas music way too early.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Like, come on. It drives me nuts. There are people in my neighborhood that put the lights up the day after Halloween. Like, what are we doing today? What are we doing? It drives me nuts. I think what Mariah Kerry does that after Halloween, I find that very tacky. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:59 But there are really good Christmas songs, and when it's the moment, there's like how many good contemporary Christmas songs do you think there are? I mean, every artist has to do them, but the trouble is they just do covers. Yes. You know what I mean? There's never a new one.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Yeah. And when there is a new one, How are you going to... You're not going to hear it a million times right away. It's kind of become a classic over time. It does need to snowball. Like, Ariana Grande has Santa Tell Me, which I think is probably the best one since Mariah Carey. I'm sure you guys have heard it.
Starting point is 00:11:31 You've been at a Bloomingdale's or a J.C. Penny Penny Spears. And that's about... There's a Britney Spears one that I didn't know as Britney Spears. There's the N-Sync one. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. Wait, wait, wait, wait. He really wanted the crowd. to sing a long. I did. I really did.
Starting point is 00:11:49 You guys left me out. That was a bummer. I know we moved on to New Year's Day or whatever, but come on. I like, my favorite Britney Spears Christmas song is, Oops, I did it again. You just have to think it's from Santa's perspective. Yes, she's wearing a sexy
Starting point is 00:12:05 Santa, Santa, it's all red. Oops, oops, I left my cookies out again. All right, Yorgo. What's going on with? I finally saw your short, troll and I enjoyed it quite a bit but what's next for you what's next troll was very good I'm very excited I'm hoping that we get nominated for a webby fingers crossed next I made a short film that's kind of in the same vein is anybody here
Starting point is 00:12:32 seen that Robert Zemeckis Tom Hanks movie here Wow I base my movie around it so I'm sure that's great but you know that movie was you know famous underseen. Like it was a huge flop. I mean, I saw it and I didn't like it. So, like, it's very weird. It does a lot of de-aging stuff. But I'm doing a movie like that, but instead of it being a family who experiences alcoholism and Black Lives Matter, it is a streamer from 2010 to 2025 called Apple Seed. What? Here.
Starting point is 00:13:17 the movie here takes place one shot the entire time right yeah they just locked down a camera in like a place where houses kind of come and go and dinosaurs at one point I think but it's all just colonial people never moves looking at one direction
Starting point is 00:13:35 I like I like sped through it just out of curiosity and it is wild how they commit to such a boring concept they do it and they go forward they go to Black Lives Matter in coronavirus they go back to colonial days, they go to dinosaurs, all that. I want to do that from about 2010 to 2025
Starting point is 00:13:52 where it's just one shot and you see the aging of a fictional streamer called Apple scene. Now I'm starting to get it. Yes. I'm not 100% there, but I'm getting closer. You know, I'm still trying to get warm on how to explain it. It's very complicated. That's a bad place to start with, have you seen the movie
Starting point is 00:14:10 home? Yes. You lose everybody immediately. Oh, here. It's called... That's how much of an impression it made on you. It's fun, yeah, I don't know. I'm very excited about it. Keep your eyes out for it. Hopefully it does well.
Starting point is 00:14:27 But if you guys want to, is anybody here familiar with Total Request Live? Yeah. Okay. Back in 1999, one of the first ever successful troll campaigns, the first ever successful troll campaign, happened on Total Request Live, where a whole bunch of internet sleuths
Starting point is 00:14:46 and an assholes decided to get together and challenge Total Request Live's voting process by trying to get a 10-year-old music video by new kids on the block, hanging tough on. And what happened is that it ran away with the boats. And it left Total Request Live with kind of an ultimatum.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Do you risk the credibility of your countdown and not put it on and disregard it? Or do you let the trolls win? and my movie Troll is explaining that story a little nostalgia run through a lot of Windows 95 stuff and it's very funny
Starting point is 00:15:23 and all the people that were involved were there like Dave Holmes who's I think is a past guest on this show and he's been on you and we got some of the we got a new kid on the block to talk about it so it's a lot of fun you just check it out at troll dock.com
Starting point is 00:15:36 Yeah oh yeah that's a troll too Well, before we play some games today, as I always do, I would like each one of you to recommend a movie that you think people might enjoy. We'll start with Chad. It could be, you know, something old, something new, whatever you want. I just recommend one movie. I just bought a ticket to, I'm going to go see it on January 2nd.
Starting point is 00:16:06 The new 4K restoration of the movie Sorcer by William Friedk. that's from 1977 for a tangerine dream score really cool movie highly recommend that one it's kind of an adventure movie kind of not it's weird I love it though good flick I think it's the thing he did right after
Starting point is 00:16:24 The Exorcist Right so he could like do anything he won Pretty much so he's like Well I'll make a movie about a truck trying to go over a bridge Pretty much yeah That's it that's the whole thing Yeah it fucking rocks by the way if you guys haven't seen it It's awesome it's a great movie
Starting point is 00:16:41 Yeah, it's very good. And I don't know why it's called sorcerer. That's a weird title. Did you know why it's called that? Is the truck not called sorcerer? Is it? I don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:49 I don't know. I can't know why it's called a sorcerer. That is such a good idea. I can't remember any reason why it's called that. It's a cool title, but it doesn't make sense. It's bite your finger is suspenseful. Like it is, it gets you. Oh, nice.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Yeah. It rocks. And it's all practical. Like all the stunt stuff is crazy. It's because it looks like, oh, they're there and they could actually die doing this. There's a scene where, like, a bridge is crossing a river on this rickety bridge, and it's like, oh, they could easily all die here. But they didn't.
Starting point is 00:17:21 Spoiler alert. They don't die. They didn't. I just realized you can't spell Scorsese without sorcerer. Oh, shit. A lot of the same letters. That's why they call that. All right, Mal, what do you got?
Starting point is 00:17:40 I'm not a big Christmas person or Christmas movie person, but my wife and I had five milligrams of gummy and then watched Red One, the movie with the Rock, the Santa Claus movie with the Rock on Amazon. So are you recommending it? Is it contingent on having a gummy first, do you think? You know what? I don't know, but five milligrams is a good amount, you know, wait for it to kick in, wait for until you're on the way up and then start that movie.
Starting point is 00:18:20 And that's really, that's a fun one. That's the most recent movie that I've watched besides the Diddy Documentary. How many milligrams for that one? I was going to say, I was going to say, I did it with five milligrams last night, the second episode, and it is terrifying. So it depends on what you want. But Red One is right there. I enjoyed it. All right.
Starting point is 00:18:46 That movie, they tore it apart when it came out. Like, it got terrible reviews, Red One. That doesn't mean anything. No, that's true. That is a good point. But also direct to a streamer kind of scares me. But I remember watching it. How old is it now?
Starting point is 00:19:00 A couple years, maybe? I think it's a few years old. Maybe 2023 or something. Yeah, I saw it and I didn't like it. But I... you didn't have enough milligrams how many milligrams does that I was going to say how many milligrams though
Starting point is 00:19:11 I had too many all right Yorgo I'm going to recommend a Christmas movie because why not I often say this is the coolest thing about me that this is my favorite Christmas movie I'm going to recommend Gremlin's
Starting point is 00:19:27 I hope all of you guys have seen Gremlin's if you haven't you should it's very very cute and very very very terrifying at the same time. And they're going to make a third one, I heard. Oh, what? Yeah, yeah, they're going to make a third one.
Starting point is 00:19:43 And Chris Columbus is going to direct it who wrote the original one, which I think is interesting. But yeah, Grimlins Rocks. I love watching all their hijinks. They, for some reason, somehow got Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, just got to use the footage somehow, which Disney would never do nowadays. That's all I got.
Starting point is 00:20:03 And don't eat after midnight. Does it make you upset that they're going to make a new one with like new technology because in like the you know the first one there's two right there's two and yeah school and now it's going to be all new as a filmmaker does that bother you well if they use cgii to do the grimlins i will be outside of the office with a pitchfork 100% yeah if it's not practical it's not really uh gremlin's and it drives me nuts okay yeah so it'll probably i don't know though because like like chris columbus you know obviously he wrote it and didn't direct it
Starting point is 00:20:34 but he has gone on to direct two of the Harry Potter movies and produce the rest of them so like he's definitely not against CGI yeah no they might go that route on this one I hope they don't and to be fair
Starting point is 00:20:51 I don't know if any of you guys saw Space Jam to the new legacy but if you have not the best part of the double feature with here Nice. That's an interesting rep theater to go see those two scheduled back to back.
Starting point is 00:21:08 But if you see Space Jam 2 The New Legacy, it's unwatchable except for the two to three seconds that the Grimlins are in it. And they are CGI in it. So maybe, I don't know, but still, it's tough.
Starting point is 00:21:19 And it sounds like they're going to make it for kids, which is the complete opposite of what it's supposed to be. Yeah. But yeah, Grimlins, go check it out of it. Who hasn't seen it? Everybody's seen it? Everybody's scared of shame?
Starting point is 00:21:30 What's going on? I don't know how you could live a life. My entire family hadn't seen it. I had to buy the Blu-ray. My entire family hadn't seen it. I was like, hey, what happens if you eat after midnight? I was like, I don't know, you get fat. I'm like, what?
Starting point is 00:21:43 My entire family hadn't seen it. Also, though, like any time of day except for at midnight is technically after midnight. This is a big thing. That's like wearing white after Labor Day. When does it go back around? Like 6 a.m. maybe? I think Don. Don.
Starting point is 00:22:00 I would assume Don with their kind of roles. But the water thing is even crazier. You can't be in rain? That's nuts. Yeah, like, you know, in these new wicked movies, like somehow there's a wicked witch, and then the entire, all of Oz is like sitting around going, hey, I heard if you throw a water on her, that'll kill her. And I'm like, so get a fucking fire hose and get this dumb.
Starting point is 00:22:24 It's so weird out there walking around with a pail of water. I'm going to get that witch. It's like they have to wait for Dorothy to do it. It doesn't make any sense. You can't really walk around with sunlight in Kremlin's, you know. You can have a fat flashlight, though. All right, let's take a break. Great recommendations, guys.
Starting point is 00:22:43 We're going to play some games after these messages. We're back. Woo! Oh, boy, that was a fun selection process that we had. And for the listeners, I'll tell you whom my guests are playing for today. Chad is playing for Aaron Force One. And Mal is playing for Kimdom of the Planet of the Apes. And Yorgo is playing for Emily.
Starting point is 00:23:25 Let's go. Let's go. Oh, Emily! But Emily, I should say, made a lovely embroidery of the Doug Loves movies logo. So thank you for doing that, Emily. And good luck. As I said earlier, it's really anybody's game today. Anybody could win this thing.
Starting point is 00:23:45 And the first game we're going to play today is something that I call Purple Rain Man. This is a movie mashup. title game, I'm going to give you the casts of I mash together two movie titles and I'm going to give you the top three build people in one of the titles and the top three
Starting point is 00:24:09 build people in the other title going third billy, second billing, first billing. And at any point you can guess what the movie mashup title is but hopefully by the time you've heard all of the names from both of the movies someone will get it.
Starting point is 00:24:25 Every once in a while the panel gets stumped and we'll see if that happens today. I feel good about it. I feel strong. Any questions about the rules? I have no idea what's happening, Doug. Yeah, I don't know if we've played this when you've been on the show before,
Starting point is 00:24:45 but I'll talk you through it. Okay. All right. So third build in this movie mashup title, like the game's called Purple Rain Man because of Purple Rain and Rain Man. Like there's a common word in the middle there. And so I'm going to say the third-billed people,
Starting point is 00:25:02 so it would be the person with third-billing in the first title and the person with third-billing in the second title. They are Jeff Goldblum and Sinbad. Oh. The great Sinbad, the great one-named man, is third-billed in the second of the two titles. All right. the people that are second built since there's no guesses yet ariana grande and keenan thompson
Starting point is 00:25:37 somebody in the audience just said i got it yeah you know who keenan thompson is and you know who ariana grand is so we got jeff goldblum and arian grande are the first movie oh and Wicked Good Burger. Wicked Good Burger. Wicked. Good Burger. You got to say it exactly right. There's nothing wicked for Good Burger.
Starting point is 00:26:00 That's it. That's it. You forgot the four and four good. Yes, Wicked for Good. So the top billed was, of course, Cynthia Revo, and Kell Mitchell got top billing over Keenan. It's Keenan and Kell, and somehow Kell walked away to top billing. on that one, but of course the classic movie, Good Burger.
Starting point is 00:26:26 None of you guys have seen either of the Wicked movies, right? I saw the first one and refused to see the second. Because if you didn't... Seriously, there's never the history of cinema been a more clear delineation. If you did not like Wicked Part 1, that's it. Like, there's no reason. It does not get
Starting point is 00:26:44 better. No, I did... I was out. I understand that it's just... I don't want to yuck anybody he's young, but it's not for me. And I love musicals. Musicals rock. Little Shop of Horace. High School Musical. Wait. I put those in the same, and Greece.
Starting point is 00:27:00 Those are my three. Damn. Wicked, get the fuck down there. I don't want to listen to Wicked. Because I like Wicked Part 1 a lot, but just like the stage musical, the second act is really lacking. Tapers a little bit? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:15 Well, because first of all, it's less fun. It's pretty dramatic all the way through, It's like, you know, everybody's sad the whole time. And, you know, and like I said, there's all that business with the fucking water. It turns it to Chinatown in the second park. Like, it's a rumor that water will kill. Like, no, but there's no facts. Like, nobody's ever met a green witch before in this world.
Starting point is 00:27:44 And then they're just like, I heard water will do it. Water, maybe. It's supposed to be, Dorothy throws the water on her because she does nothing. She doesn't know what to do. Yeah, a green thing that dies from water? What is the signs? Come on. It really is.
Starting point is 00:27:59 It's an absolute signs rip-off. I'm glad someone's finally figured it out. All right, so congratulations to Chad. He won that first game, but all that means is that he gets to or has to go first in our next game. And it's something that I call, that's fantastic. That's Fantastic is a game that I invented at a film festival called Fantastic Fest and it deals with movies that are a little, you know, off the beaten path and have odd titles. But in this particular case, look at that.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Beverages. Do you have enough room for everything? No. That's how scared I am. Ooh, is Chad getting a backup toddy? Did you find more honey? She found more honey. You found more honey? If anybody's in the market for a toddy, they can make them now.
Starting point is 00:29:00 You know what? If they ran out of honey, they could have just dipped a gold microphone in there. Probably give it a similar flavor. All right, so this game, here's how it works. This particular edition of this game is movies. You know how everybody spent the last month as they, do every year now arguing about whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie?
Starting point is 00:29:23 Well, this is unconventional Christmas movies. Movies like Die Hard where one could make a case that it's not a Christmas movie, even though there's a bunch of Christmas shit in it. So, I'm going to say the title of the movie to Chad, and then I'm going to give him three
Starting point is 00:29:38 options. He has to pick one. If he's right, he gets a point. If he misses, then Mal gets to pick between the remaining two choices. And if Malmuses, then your goal will get the gimmee point because there'll only be one option left. And each time somebody gets one right, the next person will go first on the next round. You ready, Chad?
Starting point is 00:30:02 Yep. Great movie. Takes place at Christmas. So it's a Christmas movie to me. Okay. The Long Kiss Good Night. Now the question is, who's in it? Brian Cox, Alan Ruck.
Starting point is 00:30:18 Or both. Brian Cox. That is correct. Brian Cox from a succession is in that movie that stars Gina Davis and Samuel L. Jackson, and I highly recommend it around the holidays or any time. That's the fun thing about the die-hard argument is when people are are like, it's not a Christmas movie? Okay, they don't watch it at Christmas. You know, like
Starting point is 00:30:52 you watch it, that's what's so great about it is it's got Christmas shit in there, but it works year round. 100%. People are like, it's not a Christmas movie it was released in July. Yes. And I'm like, yeah. Just like Grimlins. But there's lots of, yeah. It's a fucking summer movie. What are you going to do? It's an action movie. Who cares? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Comes out on video. We didn't care at the time when it came out in the summer of whatever year that was, no one was going, was this Christmas shit out now? Yeah. We were just like big building go boom. And has everyone here seen Long Kiss Good Night? Who hasn't seen it? In many interviews, Samuel Jackson, he always talks about that movie.
Starting point is 00:31:29 He's always like, that's one of the best movies I ever made. Yeah. Because he loves it. And it's a great movie, so if you haven't seen it, you should check it out. It's got one of the best Samuel Jackson lines of all time is he says, I don't make assumptions because that makes a fool of, uh, delivered flawlessly. You should make assumptions because that makes an ass out of you and umptions.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Yeah, it's better when he does it. What's in your wallet? All right. Mal, you're up first on this next one. Cool. Here we go. Also, it takes place during the holidays, but many do not consider it a holiday movie.
Starting point is 00:32:12 Twelve monkeys. Now, does that movie feature Christopher Plummer, Christopher Maloney, or both? Hmm. I'm going to go both. You're going both. Yeah. What's the thinking behind that?
Starting point is 00:32:30 You know, because I don't know who either one of those people are, so... This is called a shot in the dark, bang, bang, bang, both. Well, you hit the target. That is correct. So scared. This is absolutely unintentional, Yorgo, but your name is in the next title that I'm going to share. The movie Go takes place around the holidays. There's a Christmas rave in it.
Starting point is 00:33:04 And here's my question to you about Go, Yorgo. Does it feature Melissa McCarthy, Jane Krakowski, or both? Oh, fuck. I think it's Jane Krakowski. Final answer? Incorrect. Fuck me right in the... God damn it.
Starting point is 00:33:26 We go over here to Chad. This is his time to dominate. I say both. Chad says both because that is correct. Boom. Yeah, Melissa McCarthy and Jane Kerkowski both have supporting roles, and they're both that make a very good, humorous impression.
Starting point is 00:33:51 I thought, you know what I mean? Like, I liked them in that when I saw it. I don't know anything from Melissa McCarthy before Bridesmaids. It's like she was just, like, just existed. That was, you know, that was really her big entree as far as, like,
Starting point is 00:34:06 movies go. She was known to TV viewers from her role on Gilmore Girls. Oh, and what, Mike and Molly. And then she had Mike and Molly for a while, and then Then the movies started happening. She crushed on Bridesmiths, though. I think Melissa McCarthy's money in the bank, like you go see a Melissa McCarthy movie,
Starting point is 00:34:23 there's a 50% chance. You're going to love it. 50%. Pretty good. Pretty good odds. It's funny because the coin flip sounds like a movie she'd be in. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Some are better than others, is what I'm trying to say. But I always like her, and I like her effort. All right. she's a great SNL host whenever she does that. Okay, so who got that one? That was... Craig.
Starting point is 00:34:53 What? Chadley. Chad. Chad. Chad. Chad. Chad. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:58 So we go to Mal for this next one. You have to know this movie, Mal. Okay. Edward Scissorhands. Uh-huh. Christ. Very Christmassy. Lots of snow is happening in that movie.
Starting point is 00:35:10 And the question is, Anthony Michael Hall, Nick Carter, or both? Anthony Michael Hall. Incorrect. Your go. This is your chance to get on the board. You said Nick Carter. Yeah, the Nick Carter. The Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys' fame.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Yeah. It has to be both. What are you? Some sort of deductive reason there? Yeah. Yeah. So you're going both? I saw it like three weeks ago. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:47 Anthony Michael Hall's in it. So Nick Carter must have been like a boy number one. Right. At least you do that much. So that helped you out a lot because that is correct. Woo! Emily. We're trying.
Starting point is 00:35:57 We're trying. We're coming back. From the depths. Yeah. Nick Carter plays neighbor. Neighbor. Neighbor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:05 So I don't know how involved he gets in the story. He's not larger than life. I haven't seen it in a long time. But you really. just watched it? I just watched Edwards, there's an answer. Did you like it? I liked what it was going for, but it's not one of my favorites. Because it just
Starting point is 00:36:23 by the time it's over, you've had enough of it, right? Like, it's fun for a while. Yeah, it's like, okay, I get the novelty of it, and I like the colors of the suburb with his gothic stuff going to the clash there, but just not for me. I didn't... Alan Arkin, is he in it? Is Alan Arkin in it? Not to my knowledge. I don't remember. Chad says he is. Is Alan Arkin in it? Isn't he the dad in it? I think he's the dad in it.
Starting point is 00:36:43 Oh, he is. I get Arkin and Alda fucked up all the time. Arkin is, he's awesome. He's great as to that time. Yeah, all right. Well, you're on the board, Jorgo. This is very exciting.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Chad, this is your chance to lock this up. Bring us home, Chad. The movie's called The Ice Harvest. I love it. It's really good. But the question about it is, Aaron Paul
Starting point is 00:37:12 Brian Cranston or Giancarlo Esposito Which one is in it? Ooh Damn, it's been a long time since I've seen this movie You remember liking it though, right? I did like it. Billy Bob and John Cusack
Starting point is 00:37:31 Correct? Oliver Platt. Oliver Platt? One of the best drunken performances captured on film. Yeah, he was really good. Really?
Starting point is 00:37:40 Better than ready to rumble. Who's drunk and ready to rumble? He's drunk in it a lot. Platt is. Oh, Platt is? Yeah. Platt is? Oh, maybe that's just his thing.
Starting point is 00:37:49 I think he's good at playing drunk. Yeah. Really good. Platt's my fucking favorite. I love Platt. Oh, man. I'm going to go, I don't know this. I'm going to say Esposito, Giancarlo Esposito.
Starting point is 00:38:04 I don't know. Seems like he would be in it. You know, I named three people from the, like, Breaking Bad Universe. And you got it. That was a guess. Total guess. That means Chad won that game. That's a guess.
Starting point is 00:38:24 No skill. I didn't know that. But that doesn't mean that don't count out the other two fellas. People in the kitchen are losing their minds. Just throwing shit around because they don't know. I don't know which way this shit is going to go. But yeah, the ice harvest. A plot if you've ever seen the ice harvest.
Starting point is 00:38:50 Not a lot. And he added a woo for a reason, right? It's really good. John Woo? Yeah. No, it's just a really good movie. It's like, you know, kind of a heist thing, but it's very cold and wintry. And like I said, Oliver Platt kills it with the drunk work.
Starting point is 00:39:10 and we have to go to our next commercial break. We'll be right back. We're back. We are back. Oh, shit. Thank you, American Comedy Company. I didn't even ask for another beverage. They were sneaky with it, too.
Starting point is 00:39:37 And then I just realized that I have two of the same things sitting. here. Okay, here we go. Somebody's going to get drunk. Okay. We have one game left to play, and we have such polite
Starting point is 00:39:56 guess. Things are going so smoothly and quickly. It's a good thing that this next game is a monster. It's something that I call the little search engine that could. In this game, I pick a word and then I type it into the search engine on the Internet Movie Database, aka I.M.D.B. And then I look at the result, and I write down the
Starting point is 00:40:32 top 10 movies that according to their algorithm are popular today and in that order. I'll tell you the word then the three of you we're going to go through systematically one by one you're going to take turns naming movies that have that word in the title or if you can't think of one
Starting point is 00:40:53 just guess a phrase with that word in the title that you know could be you know could actually be a movie you know like if the word were yet you could be like are we there yet which is a common expression but is also
Starting point is 00:41:10 also the title of a movie. And we'll go through, and if you pick a movie that's number one on the list, that's worth 10 points. Number 10 on the list is worth one point. Family feudal. All those points in between. Yeah, it's a little more, you know, they have 100 points or whatever. They've divided up between on that show.
Starting point is 00:41:31 But this one, the most you can get for the top answer is 10. But you'll each get three guesses ultimately. But at any point, and I tell people, it doesn't hurt to go early with this, you can ask the person that you're playing on behalf of for their input. They can tell you one title, you can use it or reject it, and if you reject it, then you'll have to name something else. Be ready, Kim. Be ready. Yeah, that's the thing. It's, you know, if you go to your person after a bunch of movies have been named, they, might be out of suggestions
Starting point is 00:42:12 as well. You just never know how it's going to shake out, so you've got to be real strategic about it. We'll start with Chad. We'll flip the order around. It goes, Chad, then your go, then Mal, and Chad, you get to
Starting point is 00:42:28 start us off. And the word I decided, since it's the end of the year, as we know it, the word is end. movies with the word end in the title I'll give you another second to think about it Chad
Starting point is 00:42:46 because I just sprung it on you and of course you could start by going to your you can you know ask Aaron Aaron Force One I'm going to do that he's going to ask Aaron Force One right out of the gate Right out of the gate can you think of a movie Aaron
Starting point is 00:43:03 that has the word end in the title Weekend Everness Oh we Because the weekend at Bernie's two. At Bernice. Yeah, yeah, do you want to go a weekend at Bernie's one or two? And did they make a third one?
Starting point is 00:43:19 I don't think so. I don't know. I probably wouldn't be asking if it was on this list, would I? Chad, do you want to go with that or pick one of your own? As much as I love that movie, I'm not going to go with it. Maybe I'm fucking up here, but I'm going to go with something else. I'm going to go with this is the end. This is the end with Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill and a bunch of those guys is number two on the list.
Starting point is 00:43:48 I don't think it would be that high. I didn't think I'd be that high either, but here we are. All right, so Chad is on the board with nine points, which, you know, seems like a lot at this stage, but there's still the number one movies worth 10 points. And then, you know, you could still gather. points with some of the lesser titles. We'll go to your go next. Yes.
Starting point is 00:44:15 With his first guest. Do you want to do it yourself or get some help? I'm unfortunately going to do it myself. I'll wait for my lifeline later. I'm very, very excited that Chad did not say this name because I'm very confident that it's going to be number one. As it is one of the biggest movies of all time, I'm going to go Avengers Endgame. Oh.
Starting point is 00:44:35 Avengers End game. Avengers Endgame. Wow. I could be wrong. I could be wrong. Yeah, that's interesting. I don't know exactly how the algorithm deals with that when you just type in E-N-D.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Well, you do know. Well, I know. He's playing, he's playing toy. I don't get how this works. I was just saying I hadn't thought of that. Well, that's bad. Because endgame is one word in that title, right? Yes, true.
Starting point is 00:45:11 But he said Weekend to Bernie, so I thought everything was open. Right, but then we quickly established that was a bad answer. Listen, I just lived through an atmospheric river, okay? I don't need all this. We'll see. Listen, it was the best move at the time. I'm already apologizing for it. I don't know the results.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Somebody should do a new version of Justin Timberlake's Cry me a River and Atmospheric Cry me and atmosphere It's hard to get in there You'd have to sing it really weird But that would be funny
Starting point is 00:45:44 But with regards to Avengers Endgame No I'm sorry it did not make it It's not It's not over yet It's not over yet I like that attitude Yes
Starting point is 00:45:55 Yeah you're a real Marty Supreme Okay so Yorgo's first guest didn't work out so good but let's see you have anything let's see what Mal has to say oh he's going right to the life thing that was that was mine too I was like I got one
Starting point is 00:46:13 that is I mean I love that you were like thinking that was going to be number one yeah yeah I was wrong it's really disappointing it's like on family feud when somebody's like tits And then, it's like, all right, come on. What is that not?
Starting point is 00:46:34 100 people didn't think tits? 100 didn't? Come on. Survey says, no. That's like a minute of Steve Harvey just shaking his head. You're having a survey says right over there. I like that Steve Harvey has reached that age
Starting point is 00:46:50 where, like, the young contestants will often say a word and he just doesn't even know what it means. And he'll just make a face like they're being stupid. And then when it's on the box, board, he's like, okay. Oh, wow. La Boo-boo, really?
Starting point is 00:47:05 Yeah. It's a lobooboo. Wow. I don't know what Labu-Boo is. Come on. That's a spot on Steve Harvey. That's pretty good, right? You've got to keep doing that in front of people, dude.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Get me a mustache. I got a Halloween costume. I'm telling him. That's how Yorgo's stand-up career started. That's what it says. Steve Harvey impression. The band. was playing when the sink was the ship was sinking come on wait that's Steve Harvey talking
Starting point is 00:47:37 about Titanic yeah the ban was still playing come on you don't remember that from king's comedy everybody got it yeah it's the funniest bit of all time he flips over the table he pretends like he's doing it he takes out a handker ship blows it like it's a sale it's very funny great I'm loving this. All right, Val. Is there a movie called The End? I bet there is.
Starting point is 00:48:06 That's my answer. The End. Yeah. I can't find it. Seems like it would be. There is a movie called, there's at least one or two. I think there's two movies called that. I think there's one with Tilda Swinton and another one that was starred Bert Reynolds.
Starting point is 00:48:29 And I think it was his, he directed it as well. Him and Dom Deloese. Yeah. I was thinking about the Burt Reynolds one, obviously. Yeah, but unfortunately, neither of them made the list. I'm sorry, I'm sorry to say, man. But it was a splendid effort. This was harder than I thought it would be.
Starting point is 00:48:51 What do you think next, Chad? I'm going to say, The World's End. Tremendous cast. The Edgar Wright motion picture. The third part of the so-called Cornetto Trilogy because all three movies featured that brand of ice cream
Starting point is 00:49:08 cone thing. Is that the way called the Cornetto Trilage? Yeah, because somebody like Nick Frost or somebody's eating one in all three movies. Holy shit. I didn't even know that. Okay. I think in at World's End, I think a cornetto rapper blows up onto a fence at one point. But
Starting point is 00:49:24 yeah, it's in all three of the movies. And Chad is just unstoppable because it did make the list and it is number five on the list. That's like, that applause was like a really good golfer, sinking an easy put. Like I was like, okay, a little golf applause. But that gives Chad five more points, so this shit's getting serious. I'm glad we all have drinks.
Starting point is 00:49:53 Yorgo Emily She's got Emily says she has half an answer Yeah how does that work Oh yeah Oh shit Right
Starting point is 00:50:12 Seeking a friend for the end of the world Is that what you're thinking of? Is that what you're thinking of? Seeking a friend for the end of the world? Seeking a friend for the end of the world the independent motion picture from 15 years ago. Where will it be ranked?
Starting point is 00:50:34 Yorgo's so critical if someone that's just trying to help him. No, she's right. I'm going to guess it probably. I got nothing. I can't use any conjunctions. Conjugations of end. I wanted to do happy endings.
Starting point is 00:50:48 I had a whole thing going. Oh, right. Yeah. There's a lot. I'm going to go seeking a friend for the end of the world. That's your answer? Yeah. Did you ever see that movie?
Starting point is 00:51:03 I watched the first 40 minutes and then fell asleep. And you think it was 15 years ago? I would say, I think it came out in 2012, 2013, so I was being... That's pretty amazing to remember how long into it you fell asleep. From that long ago. You really held...
Starting point is 00:51:23 some sort of weird grudge with that movie like it was so boring and I tapped at 40 yeah so you're watching it at home I hope so I don't think I was
Starting point is 00:51:35 Are you a theater sleeper? I want to be but I'm not as much as I wanted to I was supposed to sleep during the seats that like fully recline I can't do it I can't even if I'm enjoying a movie I'll go to sleep It's really I mean we both get stoned before movies
Starting point is 00:51:50 so that helps too but like during Eddington I started dozing a little bit well that was a little dozer you deserve a break yeah during Eddington I still haven't seen it yet it's so daunting like that's the other thing that's driving me crazy about like award season movies is and movies in general these days action movies too everything has to be over two
Starting point is 00:52:14 hours two 15 two and a half like they're all just everything's too long like everybody's like I don't know what the logic is behind making super long-ass movies like, you know, make a sequel or make a, you know, or add the bonus scenes to the DVD, but like, let's cut this shit down a little bit. Well, my theory is that streaming
Starting point is 00:52:33 numbers are all measured in minutes, and so having a longer movie, if you fall asleep halfway through, maybe you get an extra 60. Oh, yeah, that's why, I bet you no one stayed awake during the Irishman. No. That was like three and a half hours long. I'm like, come on. And I still got to hear
Starting point is 00:52:49 people say it's a masterpiece. It's like, Come on. The de-aging drives me nuts. Like, as soon as de-aging happens in a movie, I'm like, okay, this movie's fine, but like that I cannot take. And Wicked fucking for Good. Wicked Part 2 does de-aging on Jeff Goldblum. Really?
Starting point is 00:53:09 And it is so bad that it lasts for like eight seconds. We saw him be de-aged. We saw him be younger. And he was hot. You can't bring that back. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. No, no. It looks weird.
Starting point is 00:53:22 It doesn't look like a real person. It looks like a weird. I never saw Dial of Destiny because of it. I refuse. Oh, yeah. That's a good point. That's what's so great about the third Indiana Jones movie is that prologue where a perfectly cast River Phoenix plays a young Indiana Jones.
Starting point is 00:53:39 Perfectly. Like, I love that kind of thing. And also, who's aged better than Jeff Goldblum? He looks good as hell. Right. It's a sexy old man. I'm telling you. I want to see his old ass.
Starting point is 00:53:51 He, fuck it, he ages like a Toyota. It's just, there's no, no matter how many miles you put on him. He's making all the right life choices, and they're like, we're going to de-age you with CG. Fuck you. I look good as hell. Well, this is super fun because
Starting point is 00:54:08 it feels like Chad's going to get all the points. Wait, was I wrong? The world thing? Oh, I thought we'd just move on and not make a fake. I don't want to make a big deal about it, you know. I wanted that 10 spot. Emily is so nice. And, you know, you're...
Starting point is 00:54:29 Emily, it was a hot 11. It was an 11 for sure. Hot 11. You're doing your best, Yorgo. I just didn't feel like there's any reason to rub it in with a... But, no, I'm sorry. Seeking a friend for the end of the world. did not make the cut.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Mal, what are you doing over there? These are all just guesses. Yeah, I love it. Wits and. Oh, that's a terrific guess. That seems like it should be. That seems like it would be a movie. Totally, I think, I'm pretty sure it was.
Starting point is 00:55:05 I think it was a play, or maybe it was just called Wits. Now I think about it. It was a play, and then they made it in a movie. It's not making me feel confident that it's on the list. It was about Emma Thompson has cancer and so you're watching her go through that journey
Starting point is 00:55:23 but she's incredibly witty until the end. Hence, yeah. It's the end of the wit. Get out of here, Witt. It's over. Was the working title. And I'm sorry, Mal.
Starting point is 00:55:41 That's not, did not make the cut. Terribly sorry to say that. Kim, do you have anything else in your head? Okay, cool. Wait, you're double checking with your lifeline? Yeah, I was just... Just after the guess, nobody did.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Because you haven't used her yet? I have not used her yet. But she says she's got nothing. Yeah, she's as scared as I am right now. Somebody whispered into her ear, a movie that has, you know what I mean? her out but don't let Mel here
Starting point is 00:56:15 but we're back to Chad who just wants to rub everybody's face in this win with a third title what do you got Chad I'm gonna go okay I vividly remember seeing vivid memory vividly remember
Starting point is 00:56:32 seeing this movie in the theater when it came out Arnold Schwarzenegger's end of days because the guy in front of me like fucking love this movie so much so much and there's a scene at the end of the movie where he's Arnold's got like a hidden gun or something
Starting point is 00:56:50 he poses like oh die put you know shoot somebody and this guy in front of me goes only Arnold would have thought of that he said that out loud in the theater only Arnold he was like whoa only Arnold would have thought of that and I love oh man his joy brought me so much joy
Starting point is 00:57:07 because I thought that movie was okay but I was like that was a pretty good movie because of this guy He had elevated the movie for me, this guy in front of me. Yeah, Kevin Pollack, who's been on this show a bunch, he's in that movie and has funny stories. Oh, I bet. And, you know, Andy can do the impression. That was my impression of Kevin Pollock. Doing Arnold, yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Wait, so that's your answer? End of days, isn't what it's called? Let me take a look here. I mean, it feels like if you're saying it, Chad, it must be on the list. And it is. Wow. It is number six on the list. Wow.
Starting point is 00:57:47 Woo. End of days indeed. It's end of Mal and Yorgo's days. We're not doing that. As having any chance of winning today because Chad ran away with it. But now this part's fun because now it's just a matter of seeing how much more. Well, they're still number one. There's still number one.
Starting point is 00:58:09 It could be fucking weekend at Bernie. Somebody. If it's fucking weekend at Bernice If it's fucking weekend at Bernice Take it! Oh man, that'd be fun. That'd be super fun. But what do you think,
Starting point is 00:58:25 Giorgo? Do you want to commit to Weekend at Bernice? No, I don't want to commit to any other. No, I'm very, very upset. Movie. I want to just, I may be more recent, because that's part of it too, is there's obviously older movies slip in there,
Starting point is 00:58:39 but like, you know, people are searching on I. MDB for, you know, sort of more current stuff sometimes. Or end of days, which is why? Why are you looking for end of day? Well, you know, it's not that high up on the list of movies with end.
Starting point is 00:58:53 Once you've narrowed that down, who knows how many people actually searched it. I had a whole thing if it was going to be, you know, I had Enders game. I had a whole bunch of things. What else? I want to hear these. The happy endings. Obviously, Avengers End game was going to be
Starting point is 00:59:09 huge. Everybody was going to stand. up, be like, yeah, you're right. You do it the whole time. Now, I'm going to go just straight up out of the blue guess that there is a movie called The End. I already said that. That was my guess.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Remember? I was shooting in the dark. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. If you don't mind, I'm just going to... Guess it again, though. It was a good one. Guess it again. I'm going to go fuck myself.
Starting point is 00:59:34 I'm sorry. I apologize. Just give me a second. I'm going to go fuck myself. I'll be right back. Has anybody... I'm doing Weekend at Burney's fucking. We're doing Weekend of Burnties.
Starting point is 00:59:46 I want to now... We're doing Weekend of Burnties. It's all we got. Weekend of Buries one or two? Oh. Oh, man. The reason I have a DVD of Weeker of Burney's that I'm passing along to someone today
Starting point is 01:00:05 is because at the show I do in L.A., the Benson movie interruption, people bring movies in and then all of us, the audience and the other comedians, we pick a movie to watch and then we make fun of it or try to
Starting point is 01:00:21 and so the choice recently a few months ago was Weekend at Bernie's 2 that's how I ended up with the DVD because the person who brought it was like I don't even want it I don't even want it anymore
Starting point is 01:00:31 but we watched it and not only is it terrible it's hilarious because you know in the original weekend at Bernie's Bernie dies and they have to pretend he's alive, so they prop him up and carry him around and put sunglasses on him.
Starting point is 01:00:46 And, you know, hijinks ensue. But when you get at Bernie's 2, he's still a corpse. That hasn't changed. But there's a voodoo priestess puts a curse on him, a spell on him. That causes him to dance
Starting point is 01:01:06 when he hears music. That's only in the second one. That's only in the second one. Oh, wow. So this guy has to be a dead body, but also do these funny dances while also remaining dead. And, you know, he's great in a conga line, of course, you know, and stuff like that. But it's such a ridiculous movie. But the dance is awesome.
Starting point is 01:01:27 The dance is awesome. It's a good dance. Yeah, if I just saw that sequence, I'd be okay. But the rest of the movie is awful rough. It's, you know, Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman just overacting like mad. Like, neither of them was ever hired to be in a comedy ever again. All right, so. Brad's, the documentary is kind of a comedy.
Starting point is 01:01:47 It's very funny. Have you seen that documentary? Oh, about the Brat Pack? Yeah, where he's like, didn't this ruin your life? And everybody's like, no. What the fuck are you talking about? This is fine. No, the Brad Pack, it ruined my life.
Starting point is 01:01:58 No, it didn't. Shut the fuck up. Demi Moore. No, it made his life. Yeah. He could have taken an event, you know, like Emilio Estafez, like, started directing movies and stuff because he was a famous guy from this stupid brat pack.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Yeah, he made Maximum Overdrive and other great things like, and Bobby. Who doesn't remember Bobby? Anyway, so Weekend and Bernie's one or two? Who remembers Eddie of Emilio Estavis's filmography as a director? I'm big on his oeuvre. I'm big on Emilio Sheen's Urve. He did that one with Demi more than I can't remember the name of.
