So I'm gonna give you some movies, and then you guys are, movies or TV shows, it could be both, and then you guys are gonna try to guess the actor, whoever gets it first wins a very big cookie. Sharktail. Uh, De Niro. Is it De Niro? It's De Niro! Is it really?

It is De Niro! What? In my head I'm like, I'm like, who is the funniest person you could pull from Shark Tale? Robert De Niro is like a shark. I think him and Martin Scorsese are sharks or something. I can't believe you remember a single thing about Shark Tale.

I've never seen it. I just remember after it came out, I remember seeing somebody post about it and they after it came out, I remember seeing some Somebody post about it and they've mentioned De Niro and I'm like De Niro's in this and then I get up there and him and Scorsese have cameos Um, I know that Scott Aukerman helped write Shark Tale. Oh, that is that is the only lore about Shark Tale I know is that every once in a while it will come up on comedy bang bang that he worked on shark I remember the song car Wash was in that movie. At the car wash.

Okay, so you got it, you absolutely got it. That makes sense, cause you know, they're under sea, they're in the water. But the component that I think I said, Scott Ackerman, that I heard in an episode of Freedom, is now for bonus points, can you tell me, at IMDB, there's a known for box. And it is a box

that usually has four movies in it, or four titles that this actor is known for. Can you tell me what you think the four movies that Robert Downey, Robert Downey Jr. that Robert De Niro is known for? Number one with a bullet, I mean, sorry, not number one. The number one I think of, because of UJPC, it's gotta be Meet the Parents.

Interesting. Uh-oh. And then I'd say Goodfellas. Okay. And then I'd say Godfather 2. And then I would say Taxi Driver. Addle? Wait, you're blowing through all of them. Well, hold on. Raging Bull.

Erin, Erin, you do your guesses. You do your guesses. I know how many Addle got right. I was gonna say Goodfellas, Raging Bull, um... Mm, Silver Linings Playbook. Mad Dog and Gloria. Godfather.

Pfft. Ha ha ha. No. So what's fun about this known-for thing is I have no idea how it picks what Robert De Niro is known for. I also try to do it the other way at all. But this is not like a lit. These are like, I would have to go and do like actual research for this, but I wanted

to know like what were their top grossing films. And like anyone who's ever been in a superhero movie, like a Marvel movie in the last 20 years or whatever, those are obviously like the top grossing ones or whatever like it just hits blockbusters really big I guess his biggest grossing is either meet the parents or analyze this It was the movie he did with Anne Hathaway where he played an old guy who's trying to go back to work dirty grandpa the intern the Grandpa analyze the reason I'm saying this is not analyze this. Meet the Fokkers, or meet the parents I would say,

is one of his most top grossing movies. I did look that up from Robert De Niro. But Adel, you got one right, and Erin, you got one right. Or I think maybe Erin got one right, because she said one that Adel said. But Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. Oh nice. Are two of his top four.

Any guesses as to what those other two are? Taxi Driver, Raging Bull. Goodfellas, Godfather 2. It's not Godfather. Deer Hunter? Mean Streets. Deer Hunter. Deer Hunter's one?

Yep. Nice. King of Comedy? No. Oh, it's not Goodfellas. I'll give you a figure on this one. 1991. 91.

That's when Goodfellas came out, right? Did Goodfellas come out in 91? 91 or 92. This is directed by Scorsese? Casino. Casino. Cape. Cape Fear.

Cape Fear. Nice one, Aaron. I didn't know that. I knew it was Cape something. What is that movie about? It's a guy in prison who gets out and stalks a family or something, stalks a family's daughter, played by Juliette Lewis.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, those are the four. I don't know. Taxi Driver and Raging Bull make sense to me. Cape Fear, I guess. But I feel like the Deer Hunter, well, you know, different structure. I don't know, like Goodfellas isn't on there, you know? Goodfellas not on there is crazy.

For Godfather 2, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, I would gander. I think that's the better. But that's not the way we play this game, because the way that we play this game is no way we die. No one knows how we play this game. No one does. Now that we got De Niro, we are going to De Niro's absolute first movie role that

he ever did and again I did some of these are like made for TV movies which you don't count some of them are it's unclear if it was a movie that had a studio release so if I if I don't get it exactly right don't sue me if this is the absolute first one but is the one that him playing Bobby milk in Mean Streets? I don't think so. Let's see. Do you know what year that is? It's gotta be mid 80s, like 86 or something. But I believe that was Scorsese's first film.

And I know they knew each other. They grew up together. And Bobby, and Robert De Niro was known as Bobby Milk because he was like, had a pale complexion. So I know he cast him as Bobby Milk. This movie that we're doing today came out in 1968. Whoa. I didn't realize, okay.

I guess that makes sense because Godfather was early 70s, right? Yeah, that doesn't make sense. Yeah, I'm looking through that. 68. Would we know this movie? No, this movie, I don't think so. I will tell you the name of this movie.

This movie is called Greetings. Does that bring any bells? Absolutely not. Season's Greetings. This is a Robert De Niro movie that came out in 1968 and it's called Greetings. It's one of his first films. Are there any other people that you would know? Not even a lot of people have like pictures here.

So I'm thinking that it's not a lot of other people that you might know. So does anyone have a guess as to what? Oh, and I can also, if you want, I can give you the tags because there are like tags on IMDB that it's tagged with. So these are maybe genres, satire, comedy, and drama. Whoa, what? Huh?

It's called Greetings from 1968, Satire, Comedy, and Drama. Satire, comedy, drama. And I do have a fun piece of trivia, but I can't reveal it yet. We'll have to reveal it when we move on to the next actor. Okay. I think Greetings is about two neighbors that are saying hello to each other in the morning

and it gets more and more passive aggressive and then it turns to aggression. And it's sort of a black comedy where we see what can happen between people who are like sort of living in close proximity to each other and how it can boil over into murder. Oh, I guess they have. If it's a black comedy, there has to be some murder in it can boil over into murder. Oh, I guess if it's a black comedy, there has to be some murder in it there.

Murder. Aaron, I think you just perfectly described the summary for the John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd comedy, Neighbors. Ah, okay, so you're telling me I accidentally wrote Neighbors again. That's fine. I'm gonna do another crack at it.

This time it wasn't the Seth Rogen one, so you're fine. All right, that's fine though. You're getting better. We're on the up and up. You're at least writing worse neighbors. I'm gonna say Greetings is about two rival greeting card writers. Love it.

One works for Shoebox, one works for Hallmark. That's better than mine. And- Erin. It is. They keep one upping, they keep kind of one upping each other with like the hot new greeting card until they start to just like snap

and the inside of the card is just like lambasting the other person. Yeah. So it just becomes like digs at the other person kind of thing. This feels like it could very easily be sold to Netflix, a la the Pop Tart movie. Oh yeah.

Where they're just like, hey Hallmark gave us the rights to the brand and we can do... Okay, I do want to see that scene. And the way that we're going to engage with this scene is it's going to be Adol, you and Erin, and it's going to be a series of letters, but they're greeting cards that you're writing to each other.

So it's just going to be you opening the greeting card from your rival and reading it. Roses are red, violets are blue. You stink, I can smell you from over here. Come on, that's a lazy, it doesn't even rhyme. Well, how long? I have half a mind to send another one back. You should, you should absolutely send something back.

Thank you. That's, I mean, you can't even put that on shelves, right? Like who's gonna buy that? No, that's terrible. All right, I'm gonna send this back, and this'll show him. I got a card from Grace. Okay, let's see what I have here.

Grace from Hallmark? Yeah, yeah, Mom, it's Grace from Hallmark. Let's see what she has to say. Mashed potatoes almost done. Oh, good, Mom, good, good, good. Yeah, I just heard the microwave ding. Let's see here. Happy birthday! A little birdie told me you just turned 100.

That's rude. Let's open it up here. I can't believe you're still alive, bitch. You're like 100 or something. How are you still alive? Shouldn't your organs have failed by now? Dot, dot, dot. But happy birthday regardless.

What the fuck? What? This is a greeting card like someone would put in a store? Yeah, mom, I guess so, but let me just grab one of my prototypes here and put that in the mail. Big look. Potatoes are too hot. Yes, mother. A mother is a friend. A mother is a friend. A mother is a confidant.

A mother is your first cheerleader. Hey, hey, Grace, sorry, I sent you that. I wrote a little note for my mom to encourage her. Can I get that back and then I can mail you like a shitty card or something? Yeah, sure. I just want to read the inside of this. Yeah, I just love my mom so much. But you'll never be a mom because no one will ever love you.

Oh, you got me. You got me. You got me, bitch. See? Wow. You got me, bitch. You got me, bitch. 1, 2, 3, 4, Hey Riddle Riddle's Clue Crew.
