Today's show is brought to you in part by Handsome, a Netflix mystery movie.
Jeff Garlin is Handsome. Detective Gene Handsome, that is.
Follow him through the streets of Los Angeles as he tries to solve the mysteries of homicide and his own life.
Handsome, now streaming only on Netflix.
Only on Netflix.
Doug hates candy wrappers screaming baby sticky seeds.
With 50 azipop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see.
Cause Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey, everybody.
My name is Doug, and I love movies!
This is Doug Loves Movies! Coming to you once again from the club with a purple thing on every table
that glows like the strangest bayou
a person has ever been in.
They've got large purple fireflies
throughout the room.
It's absolutely beautiful to look at
and very distracting if you're high.
That's right, it's
Zadie's and Rose Madone!
Zadie!
Formerly
adjacent to Toby Keys,
I love this fucking
tax problem. Literally adjacent to Toby Keith's I Love This Fucking Tax Problem.
I know you guys from several visits to this particular club,
and especially from Thursday night.
There's going to be some name tags,
so I don't even have to ask at this part of the show.
You're just going to take them out anyway?
What I was driving at is I don't need to see them,
but now I'm seeing them.
Did you have that yesterday with the target on your shirt?
I had a different name tag.
You had a different name tag?
Wow. Wow. Alex is killing it with the terrible on your shirt? I had a different name tag. You had a different name tag? Yeah. Wow.
Alex is killing it with the terrible, horrible, no good name tags.
I mean, that's the name of the movie that you put your name on, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Cliff Hanger.
And your name is Cliff?
Yeah.
So all you did was just bring the poster?
See, the listeners are probably like,
yeah, I just brought the poster,
but you did a really nice job
of replacing Sylvester Stallone with me,
which I appreciate.
And thanks for doing that.
It looks really cool.
Good job.
Shane Man. Yeah, instead of Rain Man. Good job Shane man
Yeah instead of rain man
I get it
What's this goodwill hunting thing
Is your name good
Oh no it's not goodwill hunting
It's Shawshank Redemption
When both of the faces Are covered with two white guys, I don't know.
It could have been Good Will Hunting.
I knew I shouldn't have started talking about the name tags.
Finding Nico.
That's a pretty big name tag.
Somebody tweeted at me the other day, or maybe they wrote it on Instagram,
but they said,
you need to tell people to stop bringing giant name tags
because it's unfair to the name tags that are behind them.
And I gotta say, I can't disagree with the person,
but also I'm not gonna do it.
Just the way Nico is holding hers,
you're a her, right?
I can't see because of the big name tag in front of you. Hey, Nico!
I mean, let's face it, it's kind of a girly sign also. A girl made it, really? That's awesome. That's a good one.
Lots of great ones here.
So congratulations to all of you for being so talented.
And good luck being chosen.
What's the matter?
Are you okay? Okay.
I thought something happened over there.
You guys were talking about something.
Yeah, you're sitting right there.
So when you're chatting about things, I'll be like, what?
And then you both sit there like,
do your show, asshole.
Hey, you're back.
You were over there the other night.
Last night. Were you here last night?
Donuts?? Donuts?
Target Donuts?
What's your real name so I can stop calling you that?
Alex.
Okay.
So for those of you that were here or weren't here or are just listening,
Alex is the one that Colt Cabana threw a donut at very, very hard.
Colt Cabana's seat was the one there on the other end.
And he stood up.
Maybe even walked closer to
Alex.
I mean, a big target on your shirt.
Yeah, you were definitely asked for it,
but he was
giving it way too hard.
Because he just stood right in front of him
and without any kind of warning to any of us,
just nailed him with it.
I think it made a thump you can hear
over the buzzing sound.
All right, Doug Plugs.
Do you a Getting Doug with High viewer or listener?
Is that where that came from?
Because it was like, yeah, because of pot topics,
people think that Doug Plugs needs a theme.
Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs needs a theme.
Doug Plugs!
Doug Plugs.
Doug Plugs.
I don't like any of them.
I am excited to announce that Doug Loves Movies will return to, pronounce it however you want,
I'm going with Talia Hall in Chicago
on Wednesday, August 23rd.
It should be on sale soon or now.
Yeah.
I had a lot of fun there last August 23rd.
I believe it was exactly the same date.
I forget if they allowed donuts.
It feels like they did.
They did?
They confiscated it?
Okay, I'll look into that.
You mean an episode where the listeners
don't have to hear that bullshit?
Like, for a while, I was pushing all the donut throwing to the end
so that people listening that hate it can just like, you know, skip.
They could just stop, turn it off, not listen to it.
And, you know, people seem to like that.
And then just over time it's just gone back to I just am throwing donuts the whole time.
I completely fucking forgot that that worked out pretty nice when I did it that way.
And I should have kept doing it. fucking forgot that that was that worked out pretty nice when i did it that way and i should
actually kept doing it i just feel very confessional today uh with you guys because
it's always uh i look i ate next door earlier uh several hours earlier and saw you know a bunch of
you outside uh queued up to come in.
And it really warmed my heart because, you know.
Yeah, because people go to see Guardians of the Galaxy,
they just walk in during the trailers.
No respect at all.
I got a few more things I want to plug.

Yeah, everybody wants Doug content in their ears.
Sounds disgusting.
I'm going to sort out what's in the prize bag,
what I brought when I see what my guests brought,
because I feel like, you know, usually I feel pretty strong
and like I'm going to have the best stuff, but I think one of these guys might beat me today. Please
give a big warm welcome to Adam Kempinar, Maddie Ryan, and Jeff Tate. Hey fellas
Hey Doug
How do you like these stools How do you like these stools?
Do you like these stools?
They're alright.
I mean there's a wall behind us
so you can just lean on the wall I guess.
Dope.
It's kind of like it has a back
but then the little tiny back that it does have
jams up into your ass when you
when you lean back like that.
I know, that part's free.
We were eating lunch
today. Jeff said a lot of people come up to him
when they meet him in person, they're surprised he's not
black.
It happens.
People, more than I
ever thought growing up
that I would eventually hit my mid
30s and people would be like, I heard you
on a podcast, but I thought you were black.
And I was like, that's fucking cool.
Let's meet my guests individually,
starting with, we got two first-time players on the show.
Yeah.
Starting with, if you love movie podcasts,
I'm sure you're familiar with the Film Spotting podcast.
And this is Adam Kempinar from that particular thing.
Film Spotting.
That's it.
Was that the first name you thought of for it
and you just went with it, or did you have other options?
The show actually was Cinecast when it started.
Oh, it started off as Cinecast,
and then why'd you change it to FilmSpotting?
Because someone wanted to sue us.
That's a great reason.
Yeah.
Why hasn't Danny Boyle or somebody
threatened you over FilmSpotting?
He's actually been on the show twice.
Nice!
Both times he's made the joke
that he probably will have a lawyer contact us. Oh! It hasn't happened yet, fortunately. threatened you over film spotting. He's been on the show twice. Both times he's made the joke that
he probably will have a lawyer contact us.
It hasn't happened yet, fortunately.
He's consistently fun, that guy.
He's great.
I love
anybody who makes the same joke every time
you see them.
He's about eight years apart.
Wow, really?
You should change your name to Slumpod Millionaire.
Or Steve Jobs.
That doesn't work.
Steve Pods.
Yeah, I told you it didn't work.
No.
I mean, even when you do it right, it still kind of falls flat.
Yeah, right?
Yeah, you do it right, it still kind of falls flat. Yeah, right? Yeah, you did it right.
A pod less ordinary.
All right.
I guess we're playing a game already.
Sunshine.
The audience can't play.
But Sunshine, what would you even do with that?
Podshine.
Really? Not some pod?
Suncast.
Nope.
Oh, that's right. We don't necessarily have to say pod, do we?
No.
We should go back to two minutes ago when I didn't know that was a Danny Boyle movie.
And it wasn't part of this game.
When you add sunshine in, it really fucks up this game.
Little Miss Podshine?
There, that's good.
That's a pretty good one.
Yeah, thanks a lot.
You really saved us.
I had to ring in.
I was trying.
You know, there's a low silence.
That's exactly what we needed.
Podshine.
One more question about film spotting.
Yes.
You do a regular segment on that program, Exactly what we needed. Pod shine. One more question about film spotting. Yes.
You do a regular segment on that program where you and the other people on the show with you
have to name your top five of a particular genre.
How specific do the genres get that you have to do that with?
They hopefully get really specific.
They're better when they are.
One of the last ones we did that was really fun
was we talked about The Lost City of Z.
Yeah.
So we did the movie expeditions that we would go on.
Oh.
Top five movie expeditions you'd go on.
Jeff seems like he's got an answer.
Wait.
Is it like
I got one
I'd go to the chocolate factory
and when Willie says don't touch that
I wouldn't touch it
I also wouldn't call him Willie
I feel like Mr. Wonka's a little weirder
Weirder?
Weirder than a little
Hello Willie I didn't know you were going to put on a voice Wonka's a little weirder. Weirder? Weirder than a little, hello, Willie.
I didn't know you were
going to put on a voice.
Why won't you?
You got to be a child like,
why won't you let me
touch it, Willie?
Yeah, that's the
Great Bear Wave for sure.
Yeah, it's terrible.
It doesn't work at all.
Yeah, well,
thank you for being here, Adam.
Thank you.
And also joining us for the first time ever
is Chicago comedy phenom, Maddie Ryan.
Hey, guys.
Hey, Doug.
Thanks for having me.
Is whistling like a Chicago thing?
Is that like why there's so much whistling here
and why Graham Elwood does it so much? We're an exuberant bunch.
Yeah, right?
It's true. Also, I guess you gotta be good at that
at sporting events. True.
Yeah. Not so much here, though.
I say that more for the people sitting like
over here it's a little piercing,
but someone sitting right next to them when they're
doing that, that can't be good.
Especially if it's like the fingers in the mouth,
the really, really loud one.
Yeah, that can be aggressive.
I'm saying how much unpleasant I find it.
He just keeps doing it.
Is Graham here?
That's what I was trying to say.
Matt, how are you on the old motion picture trivia?
Do you think you can hold your ground here with these guys?
With these guys, for sure not.
So it's going to be interesting.
It's going to be an interesting evening.
Afternoon, what is this?
And yeah, it's...
It's the middle, 420.
Yeah, and we're going to have a lifeline for you at one point
that can help you out.
Was it one of the dudes we got super high with
before this thing? Because I wasn't used to
smoking weed with nine strangers and then doing a show
right away.
That plus my limited film
knowledge is going to make for a really interesting guest
on this podcast today.
I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm jazzed.
I think you're going to do great. It's going to be a hoot.
I think that's going to be a real
performance enhancer for you.
So far, not.
But we'll see.
Maybe it'll sink into it.
Yeah.
Well, oh, did you think of, this is like an easier way into the game portion.
Did you think of an expedition that you would go on?
A movie expedition?
Yeah, I went to all the Indiana Jones ones right away.
You'd go do those things?
Yeah, if I could be his sidekick.
You know what I mean?
If he could show me the ropes,
then I'd be down.
All right.
That seems dangerous.
I know, but I'm up for it.
All right.
In that case,
I'm going to hang out
with the girls
in Spring Breakers
and murder a lot of people.
Do you remember
what your top one was, Adam?
Oh, I knew you were
going to ask me that.
No, I don't it involved
air conditioning not not going anywhere near a jungle but you do a lot of those uh top fives
you've done many of them right about 500 or so yeah and so do you have one that comes to mind
is like the your favorite one or one here's an even better question i i take that one back
but i have an answer to that one. Okay, go ahead.
The host that's
disappointed,
openly disappointed where the conversation's going,
all right, say it.
That was my favorite part of
Frost Nixon when he was like, oh, come on, man.
On day four when
you see him.
I forgot what my question was.
Favorite one?
Craziest one?
Favorite one,
top five movie tattoos that we would get.
So tattoos inspired by movies.
Oh, okay.
Not tattoos on people in movies.
Okay, I think Jeff's got one.
I have two.
I got a Huss solo tattoo
and an Evil Dead tattoo.
There you go.
What does the Evil Dead tattoo say?
It doesn't say anything. It's the chainsaw boom. There you go. What does the Evil Dead tattoo say? It doesn't say anything.
It's the chainsaw boomstick crossed right here.
Wow.
I have two jackets on, though,
so only one of you is going to see it.
How does it work?
Are their names in a hat?
Yep.
You guys remember on your way in when you had to put your names in a hat?
Now you know why.
One of you is going to get fucked later.
One lucky winner.
Oh, shit. I replaced all the names with mine, so I'm excited. oh shit
I replaced all the names
with mine so
I'm excited
I'm jazzed
looks like
looks like we both got lucky
big time
I'm thinking like
a tattoo
of a tattoo
from a fantasy island.
Wait, that's a movie.
Knick-knack from James Bond.
Which one is he in?
Man with a Golden Gun.
Man with a Golden Gun was Knick-knack.
Hervé Villachez.
Knick-knack was the main villain in 007's Give a Dog a Bone.
What?
He had to fight Nick,
Knack, and Paddywhack.
It was a real...
It's my favorite one.
Oh, you're so stupid.
Only one lucky winner. Oh, everybody.
Man, it was hard to keep quiet
until I was introduced.
Yeah, some black guy was in your spot.
I saw him on his way out.
He was real handsome.
How's it going, Jeff?
Good.
Sahara.
That's the expedition I would go on because uh
not because that movie was very good but because those dudes seem cool steve zahn and matthew
mcconaughey those seem like fun stoners to hang out with go try to find a boat that sank in a
desert come on indiana jones just need to think about it some more I should probably yeah I'll tell you later
I think you can come up with a better one
You were just complaining about how hot it was in Phoenix
And now you want to go to the Sahara with Matthew McConaughey
That's a good point
There's not many expeditions
To temperate climates
A lot of the cool shit that got lost
In the early days of civilization got lost because it was hot.
Or cold or swampy or something.
Yeah, something terrible.
Something undesirable.
Some climate where you drop it and you're like, fuck it.
You mean you drop it like it's hot?
Yeah.
Doug loves music too, you guys.
Doug loves music too, you guys.
So Jeff, you've thrown a donut or two in your day.
I have, yeah.
Am I right?
Yes, I have.
Yesterday, our friend Colt Cabana, from where you're sitting,
he stood up first though,
threw a donut at the target on this gentleman's chest.
Was it the same guy?
And he was sitting right there.
Yeah, on the same guy.
Oh, man. Just back for more.
You even brought a donut?
Forced someone to do that to you?
Jeff, would you do the honors?
Hit him as
hard as you can.
Hit that
target as hard as you can from close range.
Yeah, keep both of your jackets on.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
This is the reason I brought this up in the first place.
The club asked me to put them in Ziplocs first.
Did you just hear somebody screaming from the back?
Ziploc!
Ziploc!
Ziploc!
I got a faulty one that's not working.
Okay, there you go.
Wrap it up. Keep it safe.
Yeah, keep it safe.
Safe donut tossing.
There you go. Just hit him in the chest.
Yes.
All right, so if any more donuts make it up onto the stage
we have to bag them before we throw them
and they were like we don't mind that it makes a mess
it's just we've got a show right after yours
we don't have time to clean it up
if they had time they'd be happy to clean it up.
Alright, Jeff, I got another question for you.
I think you know the answer, because you
told me earlier.
What was the last movie you saw? Free Fire.
And?
I fucking loved it. Okay, good.
That movie is awesome
I
I guess it hasn't
come out in Chicago yet
it has
it has
unfortunately not
been greeted with
it hasn't gotten much
attention for whatever
reason but it is a
very
interesting movie
because it's basically
a bunch of characters
in a warehouse
with guns
yeah it's great
that's basically what it is
it's so good and it's, it's great. That's basically what it is.
It's so good.
And it's really, it's pretty nuts.
There's like, I read the synopsis. And lots of really good actors,
but no like marquee name to speak of.
I went to read the synopsis and it said,
set in a colorful 1970s Boston.
And then I stopped reading.
I was like, that's all you need to know, right?
That's all I need to know, yeah.
It's not in black and white and it's in Boston. So's all you need to know, right? That's all I need to know, yeah.
It's not in black and white, and it's in Boston,
so you kind of hope everybody dies.
I'm at Laugh Boston in June.
I mean, except for those people.
Except for the cool ones.
Okay, great.
I had no idea you had so much animosity towards Boston.
I don't.
I was just trying to laugh. Cheers is your favorite thing ever.
Yeah.
Fucking, you don't want Sam Malone to die.
No.
No, I don't.
I mean, that's a good point.
I didn't, I mean, the movie's good.
It's a big shootout. Cheers,'t, I mean, the movie's good. It's a big shootout.
Cheers, the movie?
Cheers, the movie is sweet.
Most people die in that one.
Eventually.
I can't wait for Jeff.
Jeff has not seen Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 yet,
and I can't wait for him to see it because I think he'll love it,
but also there's a few things I'd like to discuss with him about it
that are pretty funny that happen in it.
Yeah, that was a pretty heavy spoiler I just laid down.
It's a movie and things happen in it that me and my friend might have co-appreciation of.
That guy, I guess the options with that guy's mouth is whistling or just rando
spoiler i can't even whistle you think it's the same guy it's over there
right it's coming from that way it's coming from the direction of boston is that what you're trying
to say yeah yeah uh the first show in boston sold, so buy tickets to the second one.
It's on Father's Day.
What was the last movie you saw there, Adam?
Long Strange Trip.
It's a documentary about the Grateful Dead that I think is coming out later this month.
Did you watch all of it?
No.
Because like a dead show, apparently, it's four hours long.
Yep.
And I'm two hours into it.
It's really good.
I plan to finish it. I can't wait to see that. The last movie I finished into it. It's really good. I plan to finish it.
The last movie I finished was Lucky.
Harry Dean Stanton.
It was a big hit at South by Southwest.
He's amazing in it.
It's a good film. I do.
Do you see awards for Mr. Harry Dean Stanton?
That would be nice.
I like having award winners on this program.
He was on it that
one time.
No reason to have him back.
We did it and he was great.
And then we named a game after him and everything.
What about you there, Matty?
This movie I saw was Sicario,
which I believe is a couple years old.
I'm like everyone's weird aunt
that sees things way too late. But the weird aunt wouldn't even remember it's called Sicario, which I believe is a couple years old. I'm like everyone's weird aunt that sees things way too late.
But the weird aunt wouldn't even remember it's called Sicario.
She'd start describing it to you
and you'd be like, I don't know what the fuck.
Then it finally hits you.
Oh, Sicario.
Scario!
And did you like it?
I loved it.
It's good stuff, right?
Intense.
Good part for
emily blunt she's always good except for when she's playing some sort of queen in a movie i
don't care about what movie is that huntsman and the and the something or other the snow white
no the sequel the other one yeah what was that called? The Winter something. The Huntsman in the Wintertime.
Yes.
Yeah.
Not Winter Soldier.
Nick Fury just comes traipsing through the snow.
Crudy.
Hey, lady.
You and your dwarves.
Get over here.
You're going to join, isn't that Nick Fury?
Yeah.
Okay, good.
I have a new question.
I have a new question that I ask all my guests now when I remember to ask it,
and this is the second show this has happened in, I think.
Who'd like to go first?
Jeff.
I'll go first.
Jeff, tell me, and you've done this before successfully,
so maybe you'll do it again tonight.
What's the best movie that I haven't seen?
A few years ago, you recommended Cold in July to me,
and I thought that movie was great,
which reminds me there's a new thing coming out by the Cold in
July people. Oh, yeah?
Yeah, I think it's a series maybe.
Oh, Happen Leonard.
Yes. I watched that. Yeah, it's like a
$10
justified or whatever. It's not quite justified
but it's... It's good though? It's pretty good,
yeah. Alright.
They really just have nothing
happens until the last scene and
you're like god fuck you now you gotta watch you gotta watch the next one but there's only six so
it's good all right so do you have one for me the best movie i've never seen i mean
i've seen so many movies and they're all bad
i really liked...
Fuck.
You've seen Safe Men, right?
Yeah.
Well, what if I just said the best movie nobody else in this room has seen except for you?
Because that would be Safe Men.
Okay.
Do you have one Adam
we think a great movie
Citizen Kane comes to mind
I'm sure you've seen it
so I'm going
The Magnificent Ambersons
another well
smart
very smart
I've never been able
to get through it
not as entertaining
as Citizen Kane
but you love it
it's good
really good
okay
not Kane
but it's good.
Right.
That's the problem.
It's not Kane.
Matty?
There's this documentary called Long Strange Trip about the Grateful Dead.
It comes out next month, and Adam's only two hours into it, but it's really great.
He said that he hadn't seen all of it,
but I would have responded if we hadn't moved on
with I've seen it.
It comes out next month.
All of it.
All four hours?
I've seen all of it, yeah.
And it comes out on May 28th in New York and Los Angeles
and shortly after that on, you know,
on demand or whatever.
Don't spoil it for me.
Yeah, no spoilers.
Well, I'll tell you this.
Don't tell me what happens to Jerry.
Jerry Garcia gets fatter.
He definitely eats a lot of his own ice cream.
Because that band was around for a long time.
He was a pretty svelte guy.
He had a little belly on him, but he wasn't fat.
In the early 60s, he got fat pretty quick.
You think he got fat quick?
Did you see Long Strange Trip?
Did you sit through four hours of this shit?
Adam was talking to me about it before most of you.
He caught me up pretty good on the first two hours.
Jerry Garcia used a real unique,
real starch-heavy brand of heroin.
brand of heroin.
It's a proprietary blend
that he created.
It's just cupcake mix.
That all comes out in the back half of that doc.
I only saw the last two hours of it,
so I don't know where they came from,
but all of a sudden there's a band
and he's got his own heroin.
So Adam, you quit watching it intermission?
Yes.
Did it make you laugh that there's no cliffhanger?
It just suddenly goes intermission,
and you go, okay, I guess that's been enough for now.
That's it. Yeah, yeah. But just suddenly goes intermission. You go, okay, I guess that's been enough for now. That's it.
Yeah, yeah.
But I think it's a really good documentary,
but I saw a press screening of it,
so I'm not supposed to talk about it for another week.
Did Scorsese do it?
Yeah, he produced it.
I heard about it.
Yeah.
And it was directed by noted documentarians
who made a couple other great documentaries
that I can't think of right now.
Amir Bar-Lev.
What?
Amir Bar-Lev. That? Amir Bar-Lev.
That's the dude that made it?
My kid could paint that.
There you go.
And the Tillman story.
All right.
So Jeff and Matt,
you might as well just take off.
We have a winner.
No.
I'm in trouble up here.
You think so?
I do.
Jeff is good.
Okay.
This is going to be exciting.
I'm no threat for sure.
Sounds like you got all those boring movies locked up though.
It's my specialty.
I prefer a higher body count
than just the singer.
Let's go ahead and put that one
in a plastic bag.
I forgot to ask you guys about the prize bag.
Or say what I brought for the prize bag.
Yeah, what'd you bring?
Okay.
I was going to make you guys go first, but I'll do it.
I brought a book called
the
psilocybin
psilocybin
the snivel snibbin
basically
it's the mushroom bible
for anyone
nobody
I'll hang on to that
and the
oh wow Nobody? Okay, I'll hang on to that. And the...
Oh, wow.
Nope, I don't have one.
Sorry. Guy wanted one of the Christmas bongs,
but I don't have one in here.
I try not to fly with bongs.
I brought some of the pipes, but I didn't bring enough of them.
Here's a copy of Time Out Los Angeles.
I know you're familiar with Time Out Chicago.
What's going on in LA that I can't go to?
It should be called FOMO
Magazine.
A copy of my CD
and a bunch of
various fun-sized
candies. Oh, wow, I just
pulled out two, and they're both...
Oh, Almond Joy and Mounds.
Sometimes.
Go ahead.
Sometimes you feel like one of them,
but sometimes you get both.
We don't have the rights, sir.
I just love that he was helping you finish that
like you weren't doing a bit.
It's got nuts in it.
I play the dumb guys so well
even I don't know when I'm doing it sometimes.
I brought a couple of
different types of tea from the hotel room.
Yeah, it's not one of my better efforts.
What do you got Matty
I got a
it's a graphic novel of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
whoa
from this cool bookstore
in Chicago called Quimby's
on North Avenue
that's very cool
did you sign it
nope
I love signing things that have nothing to do with That's very cool. Did you sign it? Nope.
I love signing things that have nothing to do with.
What do you got there for us, Adam?
I got a few things.
I have two film spotting t-shirts, blue and black.
Two different colors?
Indeed.
Nice.
You set for the weekend. And a book that a FilmSpotting listener wrote
called 26 Short Screenplays for Independent Filmmakers.
So if there's anyone out there that wants to make a film, here you go.
And there's a coupon inside.
My co-host, Josh, has a book coming out June 6th called Movies or Prayers.
And there's a postcard so you can get that if you're curious.
Yeah, your co-host has got kind of a religious angle going.
A little bit.
Yeah.
And then I brought three DVDs that all have Chicago connections.
The Breakfast Club, of course.
Fictional town of Shermer, Illinois, shot in the actual suburbs.
I have Dark City, which Roger Ebert named his number one movie of 1998,
which is the reason why I watched the movie, and I'm a big fan of it.
No way.
98?
Yeah.
Armageddon?
Who's Roger Ebert?
What kind of fucking shithead don't like Armageddon?
What happens in your movie?
What happens in mine
is some cool dudes
blow an asteroid in half.
Roger Ebert loves Dark City so much
that I was disappointed when I saw it.
Yeah?
Yeah, that's how much he loves it.
Yeah, he oversold it a little bit.
He does the commentary on the DVD.
Yeah, yeah, he's super into it.
The commentary is just him going,
seriously, it's really
good.
Pretty much. This part isn't
boring. Just try to stay
awake.
There's a great production company here in Chicago called
Cartemquin Films. They did Hoop Dreams and
other Steve James documentaries, among
other docs. They have a great film from
1968 called Inquiring Nuns
where two nuns just go around the city
and ask people, are you happy?
And they made a film out of it,
and it's pretty wonderful.
Yeah, I bet. I bet you people say interesting shit to a nun.
They do.
Thank you for all of that. That's amazing.
I was just babbling somewhere recently
about how great it was that Siskel and Ebert,
they were so into the movie Hoop Dreams
that they sort of made it
like one of the first successful documentaries
at the box office because they pushed it so hard.
Yeah, absolutely.
And that same dude made that
that made The Inquiring Nuns.
Very cool.
And he also made Life Itself, the Ebert documentary,
which is also terrific if you haven't seen it.
Jeff, what do you got?
I have a copy of my album.
It's called Jeff Tate Again.
One of you can win it,
and some of the rest of you could buy one on your way out.
I have a pen
that has my website on it.
And
the summer movie preview issue
of Entertainment Weekly.
Oh!
It's the scoop on
110 biggest films
of the summer, including
a lot of these.
Can you imagine seeing
110 movies in one summer?
That seems excessive.
It does, especially...
It's like one a day.
More than one a day. Yeah. More than one a day.
Yeah, you have to have a four-month summer.
And I don't think you have that here in Chicago.
I don't want to be rude, but I feel like your summer's a bit truncated.
And they don't go to the movies.
They go down to the lake with their skates.
Dark city.
You brought this stuff in a bag, didn't you?
Oh yeah, that's the rest of my
CDs. Oh, you gotta keep that bag.
Alright, well, warning to
the winner, this bag is way
too much shit in this bag now.
So, good luck.
Good luck with it. Yeah, grab it from the bottom.
It's like our president once said
i mean i'll make a deal with you if somebody here wants to buy 30 of my cds and then give
the bag to that part the winner go ahead that's all you gotta do is buy 30 albums
that's a good plan I like it
Thanks for bringing those things you guys

We're back! What'd you
get there, Jeff? I got some weed.
It's in some sort of contraption, but I'm playing
for, uh...
Fuck, Tony.
It's Tony, right?
Yeah.
Oh, shit, that's my face on it, too.
Yeah.
How did you make that scary?
I played for Tony.
He liked Scarface.
He made Doug's face Al Pacino's face,
and he made my face the end of the gun.
They're his little things.
Now, I understand it, but I like to prefer,
like, I like to think that that's, uh,
that's just me finally packing it in.
Okay.
Whoa, that is a fucking great heckle.
I've never heard the letters okay used as a heckle okay
who you playing for Adam
Jackie full metal Jackie
nice I love it
I like how simple it is
it's a good size
it's got a shithead on the back so be careful
Maddie don't read the shithead on the back
okay who you playing for
I'm playing for Ryan.
He said Saving Private Ryan, then he crossed out Ryan
and rewrote Ryan.
Ah, that's...
That's pretty good.
And it's my last name, so...
My name!
All right.
I think Jeff's face is on there, too.
Is that you, Jeff?
Yeah, but I was in Saving Private Ryan
Yeah you didn't have to change me or Jeff's face
Because we were in it
Yeah yeah right at the beginning
Why do you think it was called D-Day?
Doug Day
Alright
Great choice all of you
You can put yours on the ground there, Matt,
if you want, but where I could see it,
so I'll remember to call him Ryan.
I mean, yeah.
His name's Ryan.
I can't see the other name tags, but that's cool.
Jackie.
Tony.
There you go.
Pretty good.
Perfect.
Thanks, Jeff.
Tony.
Oh, you're welcome.
Tony is my guy's name
Is that what you wanted from me?
How much weed did he give you?
I can't get it to work so that's
Oh my god
That's the most aggressive hold the button man I've ever heard
Yeah
God you sound like the most
I feel like I don't want to play for this guy anymore God, you sound like the most...
I feel like I don't want to play for this guy anymore.
When you were like, slow, not too hard,
I was like, this guy sounds like a difficult John.
Did it work?
No.
Can I try?
Can I try?
Yeah, yeah, please do.
Because I know how to do it long and hard.
Every time I hit it, it does that flashing thing where it looks like I can't tell if it's turning on or off.
Oh, I see what you're saying. But sometimes you have to hit it a certain number of times to get it to work.
Yeah, five times.
Five times.
Five times.
You know what?
These are my top five times that I've hit this button.
Five times.
Five times.
Five times.
Slower. Hey, use your free hand a little bit.
These things are magical in that you don't know if it's working or not
until you blow out the smoke
because it kind of tastes like it's working,
but I couldn't get it.
Yeah, that's the thing.
Give it back to the guy.
Maybe he can work on it.
Oh, he's going to pack it up.
Oh, is it empty?
Maybe that's it.
By pack it up, do you mean leave the building?
It's like a reality show.
Pack up your weed and go.
Oh, I'd watch that.
Alright, we gotta play some games. Holy shit.
This thing is off
the rails.
Let's start
with a little something called
Alex's, Jason,
and Deb's IMDb game.
Basically, I'm going to name the most known for,
somebody's top four, as it were, on IMDb,
and then buzz in with your own name when you think you know it. I give one point if you get it wrong.
Bonus points for the additional titles.
And also, thank you everybody here for choosing the excitement of this over the excitement of the Kentucky Derby.
And all the listeners who probably won't even watch the Kentucky Derby.
And to the listeners, surprise, the Kentucky Derby was yesterday.
No, I was implying that they probably would never, anyway.
Okay, number one.
Grumpy Old Men.
Walter Matthau.
Oh, Matt.
What's your name?
Matty.
I forgot how the game goes.
Yeah.
Remember you explained this earlier?
You go, when you think of the name,
I go, just scream it out.
You go, no.
Scream out your own name.
I'm like, cool, got it.
And I just did the other thing, so.
Yep.
People tell me all the time,
why don't you tell people how the games work backstage?
And I'm like, because when I do, it doesn't matter.
Same result either way.
We might get lucky, and they might accidentally do it right
if I don't tell them how to do it.
I just got so excited.
But also, I did warn you that there's probably
a lot of actors in the movie,
and so your guess, Walter Matthau, is incorrect. Dang it. Yeah. But also I did warn you that there's probably a lot of actors in the movie,
and so your guess, Walter Matthau, is incorrect.
Dang it.
Yeah.
So yeah, you're already in the hole, Matty.
I was going to lose anyways.
At least that's probably the only name we'll get the whole time,
so I'm excited.
Lose with dignity.
Buzz in first every time.
You never know when you'll turn it around.
Okay, the second movie is Tommy.
Jeff.
What do you got, Jeff?
Anne Margaret.
That's correct.
Nice.
I feel like I don't even know who that is,
so that's why I know I'm in trouble.
Well, that's the lady who was kind of old in Grumpy Old Men,
and then she was a lot younger
in Tommy.
Got it.
In Tommy, she has a scene where she rolls around
on a white couch while having a lot
of baked beans poured on her and the
couch. Yeah, that's true.
Check it out if you like things that are sexy
and awful at the same
time.
Sexiest woman, awful thing happening.
I mean,
unless you like baked beans.
Which I do.
Oh, so if it's onions,
you wouldn't be into it? Nah, if there's onions
in that shit, get it out of here.
I'm not a fucking peasant.
You get
onions, the food
of peasants.
I don't have time for crying so i don't do onions uh two more guesses jeff grumpier old men oh you're smart and uh fuck i don't know the The Italian Job? The first one?
Oh, right.
Yeah, the Italian Job was a remake.
No, the two that they went with were Any Given Sunday and, yeah, the Al Pacino.
Don't act like you haven't heard of that.
I've only seen the director's cut.
There's a lot of people in it.
And, you know, that's Oliver Stone's thing, JFK.
And then finally, speaking of grumpy old men, both of them were in JFK.
Going in style is the fourth one for Ann-Margaret.
Going in style.
I guess she's a love interest of one of those oldies.
All right.
So that means Jeff's got one point and Adam is at zero.
And you know what happened to Maddie.
Negative one.
Everyone was here when it happened.
Here's the next one.
We're starting her off with Argo.
Jeff.
Oh, shit.
Jeff is going crazy on us.
Alan Arkin.
That is correct.
Should we leave now?
Yeah, where are you at, film spotting?
Come on, what the fuck?
You should tell him, Argo, fuck yourself.
You heard him, I think.
Cool.
Three more guesses, Jeff.
Catch-22, Little Miss Sunshine, and The In-Laws.
They went with Get Smart, Edward Scissorhands, Sure. And Little Miss Sunshine.
One bonus point.
And on to the next round.
Swing for the fences, boys. Swing for the fences, boys.
I just, as soon as I said the title,
I'd say my name if my name were Adam or Maddie.
Because Jeff is not...
You can't stop this guy today.
Back to the Future.
Jeff.
Christopher Lloyd.
Both of you could have named at least one person
I only know
the two obvious
choices in that movie
I knew it wouldn't
be that one
I already tried that
with Walter Matthau
I shit the bed
I tried to
one of the obvious
choices is
Christopher Lloyd
right
Michael J. Fox
would have been
my only two guesses
and they both
would have been wrong
right
right but
you know
I'm suggesting
now either way you lose what you did or or guessing wrong wrong, right? Right, but, you know... Then I'm going to lost another point. I'm suggesting now
either way you lose.
What you did or
guessing wrong,
either way you lose.
So why not buzz in
and guess wrong?
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
Oh, excuse me, sir.
Not wrong.
I knew I was losing
before I took the stage.
All right, so Jeff,
what'd you say?
Christopher Lloyd.
That is correct.
Oh, man.
Come on.
Gee whiz.
There is a part of this game
I should have told you about beforehand.
It's just called Jeff Wins?
Sometimes it's thematic
who all the actors and actresses are.
And Jeff has clearly figured out the theme.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That would have been cool info for me and Adam.
What else you got for Christopher Lloyd, Jeff?
Back to the Future 2, Back to the Future 3,
and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
All incorrect.
What?
Yeah, it's Back to the Future Part 2,
Back to the Future Part 3.
And Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
That's all. That's fair.
There's no Camp Nowhere on there? That wasn't top four?
That was a hit.
Yeah, I can't believe...
Oh, shit.
All right, so congratulations, Jeff.
You won that game.
Very good job.
Jeff, tell everybody what Anne-Margaret,
Alan Arkin, and Christopher Lloyd have in common.
They're all in that movie Going in Style.
Yeah, which was also one of the answers in the first round.
So Jeff picked up on all of it.
Good work, Jeff.
Thank you.
As you can see, the audience is sufficiently impressed.
They were awestruck. All of them. To the listeners at home, they're all awestruck.
All of them.
To the listeners at home, they're all awestruck.
They're exhausted.
They went crazy every time you got a right answer.
Just all the time.
Yeah, listen to that guy.
He's still yaying it up over there.
Let's play Ron Bennington's Adjusted for Inflation Bureau game.
Didn't even bother telling you about this one backstage because it's this simple.
I'm going to name an actor.
You guys get to take turns.
Jeff gets to go first.
He gets first picking during the first round, and then we'll rotate at each round.
So each of you will get a chance to go first.
first round and then we'll rotate at each round so each of you will get a chance to go first.
The idea is just name any movie you think
is in a person's top
three domestic
box office all time
adjusted for inflation.
Cool.
Got it. Three points for number
one, two points for number two, one point for
three. So you say an actor, we say a movie
that he was probably in.
Yeah, yeah. If you can
narrow it down to something he might have been in,
then you're on the right track
for sure. That's where I'm at. For sure, yeah.
That's where you're at. Just name something they've been in.
Chances are, if you know they were in it, maybe it was
a big hit or even a bigger hit
after inflation adjustment.
After Tom Brady gets his hands
on it.
Hey, we're hating on Boston today.
That's what the theme is, apparently.
All right.
So, Jeff, you get to go first on this first one.
And it is Michael Caine.
What is in the top three films of Michael Caine?
The Dark Knight.
The Dark Knight.
He's going with Dark Knight.
What do you got, Adam?
The Dark Knight Rises.
Okay.
Matty?
What was the first one?
So far, we've got
The Dark Knight,
The Dark Knight Rises.
Oh, you mean what was
the name of the first Batman?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jaws, you mean what was the name of the first Batman? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jaws 3D.
That was the name of it.
I thought your memory was that bad.
You're asking me, was it The Dark Knight?
What was the first one?
Just Batman.
Yeah, but yeah, you got to know.
And there's no lifelines in this game.
Do I lose points for this right now if I get it wrong?
No, you're cool.
I just don't get points.
You just don't get any.
Okay. But you can name something that he was in. I just don't get points. You just don't get any. Okay.
But you can name something
that he was in.
I don't know if he was in that.
What is happening?
Why did an audience member
say the name of a movie?
Please don't do that again.
The person who did it
or anyone else.
Thanks.
How often that has to happen.
There's an easy way to know
if it's your turn.
Batman Begins.
Yeah, you figured it out.
Yeah, see?
Thank you. Just give me a second.
Yeah, you just need some time. It's not in his top
three. It wasn't worth the trouble.
Were the other ones?
Number three, Inception.
Yeah, yeah.
Coming in at number two, The knight rises so two points for adams
and number one the dark knight three points for jeff what
oh but now this next round adam gets to go first and then maddie so they get a
choice pickings before it gets around to movie
genius over there.
Adam, the films
of Joseph Gordon Levitt.
I had it.
I'm thinking between two films, and I'm going to say
Inception. Okay, he's going Inception. I was going to say that one. And now I'm thinking between two films, and I'm going to say Inception.
Okay, he's going Inception.
I was going to say that one.
And now I'm thinking of the one
where him and Bruce Willis
do the time travel thing with the murdering.
Looper?
Yes, I'm going to say that one.
Okay, Looper.
Looper.
The Dark Knight Rises.
Is he in that?
I only helped you on Looper
because it's not in his top three.
You guys, I'm genuinely trying, okay?
Yeah, no.
His number three is Lincoln,
so you were close.
Close.
Lincoln.
That's what I said.
Same letter.
Time traveling where he goes back
and plays End of the Time of Lincoln.
Yeah, he goes back and he's like, I'm your son.
And Lincoln's like, I don't have a son.
That was a pretty sweet Lincoln I just did.
I need a son like I need a hole in the head.
Too soon.
Way too soon.
Oh, man.
Way too soon.
Oh, man.
Coming in at number two, Inception.
Yes.
So that's two more points for Adam.
And Jeff does it again with The Dark Knight Rises.
Coming in at number one. I should also say, Matty, that the early games aren't that important.
They just kind of lead into who gets to go first in the next game.
It's the final game where you're really going to have to hunker down
and suddenly know something about movies.
I'm excited like I haven't been hunkered already this whole time. You're totally hunker down, and suddenly know something about movies. I'm excited like I haven't been hunkered already
this whole time.
You're totally hunkering. And this time you get to go first.
I'm picking up on a theme and I'm excited about it.
Okay. You get to go first.
You will rocket to third
place if you get this.
Yes.
Wait.
We'll call it a respectable loss
if you could tell me the number one movie
of Mr. Tom Hardy.
The Dark Knight Rises.
That is correct.
Yes.
I'm third. It feels good.
It feels good to be here.
All right.
Jeff, Adam's got a chance to catch up to you here
because there is a two-pointer on the board.
What are you going to go for his second?
I think I'm going to take a swing at that two-pointer
and say Inception.
Okay.
Adam, what are you going to pick?
What's left?
That movie where he's alone in a car?
Yeah, exactly. Locke, but there's no way. No way. Bronson, that's not going to pick? What's left? That movie where he's alone in a car?
Yeah, exactly.
Locke, but there's no way.
No way.
Bronson, that's not going to be in there.
No.
Can show off all you want.
Reese Witherspoon?
Come on, man.
Say it.
Lawless.
Yeah, Locke, I got nothing so exciting
well we already know what number one was
number three The Revenant
yeah he's all like
I'm a prospector
yeah yeah I'm going to do an impression of him
from each of his films
and then number two, Inception.
Inception number two.
Two more points for Jeff and an impression of him in that movie.
And of course, coming in at number one, The Dark Knight Rises.
We got three points for that?
Jeff is once again the winner amongst losers.
No, that's just what Bane would say.
I think they're all great.
First loser.
Would you like to throw a donut, Jeff?
No, thank you.
It's a lot less fun when they're in a bag.
It's like fucking.
I can see it now.
Are you going to put on a condom?
You're like, no thanks.
There's just a big box of donuts sitting there. They look delicious.
Are they only for throwing?
I don't know how old they are.
I'm going to stay away from them.
I kind of want to eat one.
I'll wait until it's over.
You can eat one.
People love chewing.
Jackie, Full Metal Jackie pre-packaged them for me.
They're in the Ziploc bag ready to go.
That's a classic Jackie move right there.
Thank you, Jackie.
Bless your heart.
I'm just going to wait until that guy finishes fixing his weed thing,
and then I'm going to hit that, and then I'm going to eat all those donuts.
I'm going to fill my pockets with plastic bag donuts and go to the movies after this.
Is he still trying
to fix that thing?
Nah, he probably fixed it.
Oh, it's in his pocket.
He's fine.
Yeah, leave him alone.
Whoa.
All right.
Whoa. Okay. I feel like he's taking it personally
and not understanding the fact that there are lights
pointed at us.
What's that?
No, it's okay, man. It's just for goofs,
man. If you can't
figure out that we're trying to get laughs
in front of 200 people, then
laugh. Don't be a fucking weirdo about
your weed thing
that's got some sort of
thumbprint passcode
that we can't figure out.
You handed it to me and Doug.
If you think Doug Benson,
if Doug Benson can't figure out
your weed thing,
it's your weed thing's fault.
All right?
This had... All right. This head.
I'm playing for you, and I'm fucking cleaning up.
The least you could do is be cool about it.
That's probably the only reason he's still here is because he might win.
No, I'm San Diego.
Okay.
Did you drink at all today?
No. Oh, okay.
Interesting.
That puts a spin on it.
Yeah. So you didn't drink at all.
What happened? Did you fall off your roof trying to install
a satellite dish? Why are you yelling
things at random at us?
Jeff, this isn't a stand-up show.
You don't have to go so hard.
Honestly, as it comes out of my mouth,
none of it means anything.
I'm just trying to get a laugh
because a lot of people are looking at us.
If they just stop looking at us, the comedy
would be so much easier.
That's why podcasting
came along.
And then you went and you were like,
I'm going to take podcasting and I'm going to put
people in front of us.
Big mistake. It should just be us in a
room arguing about trivia.
But thank you for
offering the pen up and good luck
in winning all the prizes.
I think your odds are pretty good.
I think...
Maybe for fun we should
let Jeff pick an actor
he's never heard of.
How would I do that? How would I pick an actor he's never heard of for just say a name
that you made up no then the other guys wouldn't know any movies either but is
there an actor that you're not very familiar with like Like, what about... Sam Jackson.
Yeah, what about that?
Ernest Borgnein.
Yeah, Ernest Borgnein.
I don't know very much about Ernest Borgnein.
Jeff, I'm trying to ask them to not be suggesting names right now, because that's not
what I've asked them to do, and they're doing it anyway.
So let's not...
Fuck, that was one of them.
Let's not engage.
You thought Matty said Ernest Portnoy?
I was impressed.
No, I picked somebody from the audience
who's going to get to pick the name
that we are going to play.
Then when we play the game, no one in the audience is going to say a title that they think might be a right answer until I've asked for that part to happen.
You all listen to the podcast.
What is the problem?
All right.
Last man standing.
Jeff won, so he gets to go first again.
And I found a person on the internet
named Steve Cock.
I apologize.
Coke.
It's K-O-E-K?
Coac?
K-O-E-K is pronounced Coac?
Holy shit.
You have to correct every single person
that says your name off of a piece of paper.
Right?
Yeah, okay.
And you've got a perfect name for us?
It's somebody we've never played before.
From Chicago.
Oh, shit.
This is not going to go well for Matty.
Not even close.
Thank you Ryan.
He is your lifeline.
You can go to him once.
Can I really?
You just told me that now?
I was going to say
once in this last game.
This is the game where there's a lifeline,
and he's your lifeline.
All right, so who's the actor, sir?
Harold Ramis.
Oh, I know him.
The films of Harold Ramis.
Um, no.
Let's play it just for funsies.
Jeff, go.
Ghostbusters.
I play along in this game.
As good as it gets.
Ghostbusters 2.
We're playing.
It's like I've never listened.
I listen all the time, Doug.
Ghostbusters 2.
And that happens.
That's what happens.
You gotta be careful, man.
You gotta wait your turn.
There's rules.
This is a society.
Lifeline?
What? Is it my turn? You can go to your Lifeline? What?
Is it my turn?
You can go to your Lifeline.
I'm going to have to.
Well, I just wanted to do it quickly
just to prove that Harold Ramis was a shitty name.
Great person.
I love Harold Ramis, but rest in peace.
But he's a tough one for this.
You don't have any others?
All right, you're out.
Jeff?
Stripes?
Yeah, of course. Yeah. you're out Jeff stripes yeah yeah you're gonna love this one gang vacation yeah
yeah yeah national improves vacation and he's the voice of the moose out front of
the park that they should have told him yep He's the moose out front that should have told him.
Yeah, exactly.
All right, Matty.
The Ice Harvest.
Yeah.
Wow.
Chipotle come in with a sleeper.
Where did you pull that from?
Literally the depths of my soul.
So it's movies he's in or directed we're doing.
It's my turn, right?
Groundhog Day.
Yeah.
The musical version of which on Broadway is really, really entertaining.
I'm going to say...
Knocked Up.
That's what I was thinking.
Thinking that one.
So is there like a time limit?
Can we just hang out for a second?
I'm quickly proving that this is a bad name.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm probably wrong.
I'm just going to throw a caddyshack out there.
Yeah, you're right.
Really?
Yeah.
Fuck yeah.
Jeff.
Orange County.
Oh, okay.
Club Paradise.
I got a nice out of a guy.
I think it's a guy.
Matty? I thought it's a guy. Matty?
I thought it was your turn.
It's my turn?
I just said one.
Oh, cool.
What were you doing while I was talking?
Listening.
All right, I got it.
I was so, so deep in the Rolodex of my limited film knowledge.
Scrooged?
No.
Caddyshack 2.
He didn't direct Scrooged.
Was he in it? Cameo? Nothing?
I don't know. Jeff?
Was he, Jeff? No.
So I'm out.
Is that what that means?
I think I might be out, but didn't he direct
Meatballs? Or wrote it or something? That be out, but didn't he direct Meatballs?
Or wrote it or something?
That guy, Evan Reitman, directed Meatballs.
First Meatballs.
Yeah, Evan Reitman.
I'm out.
Anyway, it's a terrible name.
So why did you think it was terrible? We did all right.
Because we would know too many?
What?
Why did you think it was a terrible name?
No, no, the idea is
there should be lots of titles to choose from
and a guy who co-hosts a movie podcast
doesn't drop out after a round or two.
Him and his lifeline.
Well, we didn't do lifelines
because I said I wanted to do it quickly.
That's true.
Did his lifeline have one?
Who's your lifeline?
Jackie?
What evolution lifeline?
Evolution was what you were going to do?
I think that was Ivan Reitman.
That was Ivan Reitman.
It's easy to confuse them, which also makes it a bad one.
If anybody ever suggests Ivan Reitman, I will fly over the tables with joy.
All right.
Now let's get another name and this is a ugly process because I have to trust you guys raise your hand if you tweeted at me that you had a
great name she all right she's got a good point
she won on stage yesterday when we were last night when we were playing last
man Stanton with Tom Cruise.
See, Tom Cruise is a perfect one because there's so many.
I can start naming some of those.
I bet you can.
Okay.
But we're not going to do Tom Cruise.
Because also, Jeff will still beat you.
I know.
Because he loves Tom Cruise.
So much.
He knows the full title of the second Jack Reacher movie.
Yes.
Jack Reacher 2?
Jack Reacher, never go back.
You're looking for trouble.
You're just talking while he's saying the facts.
Jack Reacher, colon.
Never go back.
That's correct.
Elijah Wood.
Elijah Wood. I've been at so many.
Whoa.
There's somebody back there that already thinks
that this one's gonna get rejected
Elijah Wood
no no I got one
I don't
the biggest problem I have
with Elijah Wood
is just that I can't get
the Hobbit titles correct
oh that's nice
now I know who
Elijah Wood is
well I wouldn't want to play with someone Oh, that's nice. Now I know who Elijah Wood is.
Well, I wouldn't want to play with someone where any person on the panel has no idea who the person is,
because then that game is over for that person immediately.
So that's why I say a very well-known actor with tons of credits, and Tom Cruise is perfect.
I love his I Am Kick-Ass shirt here in the front row so much and he's so polite.
I'm going to go to him.
What's your name, sir?
Corey.
Corey.
So I apologize for calling you sir.
People named Corey should never be called sir.
It's just too chill a name, man.
I knight you, Sir Corey Feldman.
All right, Corey, what do you got for us?
It better not be Corey Feldman or Corey Haim,
and especially not Corey Hart,
because I wear my sunglasses at night.
Kurt Russell.
Kurt Russell!
Jeff is going to win!
Congratulations, dude.
I'm already smoked.
I'm done.
I'm taking away Jeff's lifeline.
That's how confident I am in him.
My lifeline doesn't like any of us,
so I wasn't going to go to him anyway.
I'm sure he's fine with Adam.
All right, so, Jeff, you start us off,
and we'll go Adam and Maddie and me.
That's a good title, Maddie and me.
All right, I'm going to say the one I was going to say
for Ernest Borgnine, Escape from New York.
Alright.
It also...
Escape from L.A.
Very clever.
Captain Reckless.
Hang on a second.
Yeah, that is the full title.
So fucking, first of all, I don't want
you to yell full title ever, but
especially when you're wrong.
Just shut up. Try that.
Captain Run.
Yes.
Huffling.
I'm going to go with The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.
You heard me.
Yeah, he started out when he was young
and in Disney movies.
And I will name all of them.
Jeff? The Thing. Yes. Disney movies, and I will name all of them.
Jeff?
The Thing.
Yes.
I like the sequel to that movie, The Thing You Do.
Sorry, That Thing You Do.
The Fate of the Furious.
Yes.
Fuh-ate.
That's all I have to write down.
Apocalypse Now?
Was he in that?
Oh, boy.
Really?
I'm so bad.
You guys, listen.
Please relax.
Oh, yeah.
Live line.
Please relax. Help me, please.
Please relax.
It was almost a mob.
Did you see that?
Yeah, no.
It freaked the fuck out.
You guys, I'm sorry.
People lost their minds and all started speaking.
Stop speaking towards the stage.
That's what I'm asking for.
Can that happen between now and the end of the show
that the audience stops speaking at us
when we haven't asked you anything?
Ryan, yeah, Ryan.
Yeah, he's asked for you,
and now you're speaking
when I haven't asked for you to speak.
All right, Lifeline.
Ryan.
Yeah.
Lifeline, yes.
Fucking now!
Fucking speak!
You're so hot to speak!
Fucking speak already!
Big trouble in Little China.
Big trouble in Little China.
If only that vapor pen had worked,
I'd be holy instead of angry.
What did he say?
Big trouble in Little China.
Oh, that's a good one. I mean...
That's what I meant to say instead of Apocalypse Now.
Big Trouble in Little China.
Yeah, and if a smarty pants had said a full title on Jeff,
I guess you could say it's John Carpenter's the thing, but I don't care.
Whose turn is it?
Yours. Oh, shit.
I gotta come up
with another Disney movie.
The Strongest Man in the World.
They made a movie about me.
Have you seen any of these old Kurt Russells?
No.
Because you love Kurt Russells.
Has anybody besides you?
I've probably seen those.
I remember seeing those movies on the wonderful world of Disney.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm sure I've seen them.
I don't remember all the titles, so I'm just going to say things like Breakdown.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
Adam?
Furious 7.
That was a good one.
Breakdown 2.
Second one.
Your lifeline is just like,
God damn it.
Very good hit, that one.
I mean, it's weird that you didn't think of the sequel to Furious 7.
The Hateful Eight?
Furious 8?
Oh.
I was trying to make a joke, but you walked right on top of it.
I'm saying The Hateful Eight.
Jeff?
Tombstone.
Yes.
That's a good one.
What's that? Are you speaking?
Are you speaking again?
Are you still speaking?
You're the guy that you've been saying like quotes
or mentions or things about the movie
every time a movie comes up that you know something about.
Why?
Sorry.
Sorry. Sorry.
Like, I don't know how to give more signals of my irritation.
People still keep speaking.
Can you just stop speaking, sir?
Thank you.
Don't say sorry or anything.
I get to speak last.
We're done.
Adam.
I was going to say, this is like my childhood.
It's a terrible time to bring up what an awful father I was.
It sounds like you were a shitty kid.
Yeah.
I'm going to say Miracle.
Yes.
Oh. Yes.
Oh.
Oh.
Jeff?
It's your turn.
Oh, sorry.
Matty's out.
Okay, the Barefoot Executive.
Barefoot Executive.
That's a good one.
How about, is it, what if I said,
do you think I could get credit by saying the barefoot executive decision?
Ah!
Nope, that's incorrect.
Executive decision.
Okay. Adam?
Overboard.
Ah!
Shit!
Fucking overboard.
All right, I'm going to tap
because I'm too irritated to play.
Jeff?
You each have a lifeline, right?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not going to use mine
because he's...
I don't want to...
That's right.
I took yours away.
I took yours away.
I'm sorry.
But he's also the guy that keeps talking.
That's not why I took it away, yes.
You don't need to bring it up anymore.
I'm going to say a movie called Tango and Cash.
Yeah!
There's one... I just can't believe I can't remember the name of this movie,
so I'm going to have to go to my lifeline.
High five.
Death Proof?
Oh, I like it.
I can think of Planet Terror for some reason,
but not the Tarantino.
Yeah, it's got a weird genericness to it. Death Proof.
Part of Grindhouse of course and Jeff
Tequila Sunrise
have you spotted any of these films
you should try Apocalypse Now.
Dude.
The remix.
The Redux one.
Like the director's cut.
Maybe he's in that.
Adam, you should do top five Kurt Russell movies
you can't think of.
Next week.
I think I still have five.
I'm in trouble.
I love Kurt Russell, but
I'm out.
Yeah, it had to happen.
And, of course,
we all saw it coming.
Jeff Tate is our winner!
Sorry, Ryan.
I tried, man.
But you were doomed from the beginning.
I think you knew that.
You want to get these prizes to the winner?
Can you give them to Ryan?
It's like an olive. Give it to my guy.
Give it to him as an olive branch of thank you for helping us out and being here and enjoy.
Seriously, be careful with that bag because it is a little too...
Yeah, be careful.
Matty, Ryan,

Our podcast?
No, the W...
What was that last thing?
Was that a TV station or a radio?
WBZ.
No, yeah, it's the NPR station here in Chicago.
Oh, but it's just here?
Just here, 91.5.
And you don't podcast that?
Or it's the podcast on there?
It's a shorter version of the podcast.
Oh, okay, cool.
All right, sorry. All right.
Sorry for my confusion.
Jeff Tate?
They just do their top three.
Actually, you're not wrong.
You're not wrong.

Thank you very much, Jeff.
Doug Loves Movies is back in San Francisco at Cobb's on June 10th at 420.
And I hope to see you guys in Chicago proper.
Yeah, at the old Talley Hall.
Thanks again to Zanies Rosemont
for turning that buzz back on
at the very end of the show.
I was starting to miss that buzzing sound
and they figured out a way to get it back.
And now I think I figured out,
I'm no sound engineer,
but the buzzing sound is because
you don't turn off the offstage mic
during the show,
and you did today, and then you
turned it back on just now, because you're
ready to make an announcement as soon as the show
is over.
I don't know anything about sound, but I figured that
one out.
Now if I could just figure out how to get the crickets
that melt down comics to shut the fuck up.
But thank you to Zadie's
Rosemond and for all you guys for coming out on a Saturday afternoon.
As always,
Billy Crystal is a shithead.
Oh, also, there's some donuts on the stage
if anybody wants to come take one and not make a mess with it
that's the important thing
oh now you throw a donut
I'm trying to wrap this shit up on time
and you're donut tossing
and and
I don't understand either of these shitheads
I don't know why either of them are a shithead
Canadian geese are a shithead
