Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds with 50 azipop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies!
Wow, the audience is really close to me this particular episode.
So I guess I won't have to stand up
to go talk to people in the audience.
There's a dude right here.
Don't peek at my notes, man,
while I'm doing the show.
Did I say hey, everybody?
My name is Doug,
and I love movies.
I'd like to thank everyone
who came to my shows last weekend
in Eugene, Portland
and Bend, Oregon.
And in Eugene
was a particularly interesting show
because people kept yelling take it off
the whole time I was on stage.
And then later and the rest of the weekend whenever I'd ask why do people in Eugene keep saying take it off, the whole time I was on stage. And then later and the rest of the weekend, whenever I'd ask,
why do people in Eugene keep saying, take it off,
the response in Eugene and then in Portland and then in Bend was always,
they would shrug and go, it's Eugene.
That's an explanation for why they would want to see a fat stoner naked on stage.
And now let's get into the show.
My guests tonight are all stars of the Stars Channel TV series Party Down, which begins
its second season on Friday, April 23rd at 10 p.m. Eastern and Pacific.
Please welcome Adam Scott, Ken Marino, and Martin Starr, everybody.
Yeah!
Oh, shit.
Ken Marino's drunk, first of all.
So that could be a problem.
That's it. That's it. Thank you very much.
Wow.
So, we got some... Jesus!
Woo!
No!
Whole show's off the rails.
I call Ken Marino drunk,
and then I knock all my shit over These are cool little
Little things right
Alright
Fair enough thank you for being here
That was Ken Marino's voice
Hello Adam Scott
Hi this isn't how I pictured it at all
As a fan of the podcast
I didn't picture a table at all
Well yeah this is kind of like a panel
like you're about to answer
questions about Tiger Woods.
I would love to.
It's like...
I have my own theory about him,
by the way. Let's hear it. Thousands of women
threw themselves at him. Right.
At least thousands. Why isn't he being
commended for his
restraint? He only slept with 15 of them, give or take.
That's a really good point.
Yeah.
But what were you going to say, Adam, Scott?
I was just going to, I had a question about the table.
What function does this table serve other than holding four microphones?
Tapas.
It's just every time, it's for the tapas parties that they have here at UCB
and for all the shows they do here
Where they do improvised press conferences
And take questions from the audience
That's the entire show
Martin Starr is here also
Hello
Hi Douglas
That's what he sounds like
And it's great to have you all here
Party Down was created by The great Rob Thomas And it's great to have you all here.
Party Down was created by the great Rob Thomas.
Yeah!
Not of Matchbox 20 fame.
Oh, never mind. And tons and tons of reefer.
We're talking about the more focused, great TV-creating Rob Thomas.
Who did Veronica Mars was his show also.
Is Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20?
Does he smoke a lot of pot?
That's the word on him, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, why would Carlos Santana
let a white guy sing on a song
unless they were
burning a lot of great shit, yeah.
It's all making sense now.
It's all coming together.
That's what I was saying, Veronica Mars was a Rob Thomas
show and that was one of my favorite shows.
Kristen Bells appeared on Party Down and Coming Back Again
at some point this season, correct?
Yeah, she was on the season finale last year,
and this year she comes back, I believe, in Episode 7?
Sure.
She's my girlfriend, but we clearly couldn't get her until Episode 7
because I just kind of talk about her and
talk on the phone with her
up until
the 7th episode. Until she was
available? She's a big movie star.
Yeah, she is.
I'm not denying that.
She's a big movie star.
For some reason, Martin is
refusing himself from this part of the conversation.
You just lean back like, I'm wearing camouflage.
This is going to be good.
No one needs to know that I'm here.
I didn't even see him there.
Martin's here?
No, he's here.
He's right here.
Whoa!
Yeah.
So for the uninitiated, if there are any, Party Down is about a catering team, group,
company?
Either of the three.
All of them.
Sure.
All of that.
And have you guys, have any of you actually been caterers in real life? team, group, company? Either of the three. All of that.
Have any of you actually been caterers in real life?
And how tired of you of that question at Press Things?
Well, we do a lot of Press Things, so
we're pretty tired of it.
I think this is the second
Press Thing we've done.
Okay, well now you can prep for the next time.
So, have you guys ever actually been caterers?
Because that's the question they have to ask
Every time you sit down and talk about the show
I don't think any of us actually have
No, I was a bartender
Close enough
I was a mixologist
I went to a school where you actually took a class in mixology
And you learned all the detailed drinks that nobody orders
Yeah, they got lots of them, right? Like a grasshopper.
That's a classic.
I love a grasshopper.
What's in a grasshopper? I have no idea. I took it when I was
19. It was like a $600
a weekend course.
You think they took my money?
Yeah, they did. Yeah, they took it.
Mixologist?
Is that really what you call it?
I had a plaque, yeah.
I had like a degree in mixology.
What happened to the plaque?
Yeah, I was like, oh, I'm going to college,
and I'm an actor, so I've got to be a waiter.
I'm not going to be a waiter.
I'm going to be a bartender.
So let me pay this guy $600 to teach me how to fucking mix a grasshopper,
and then I'll know how to do it in college.
I'm just going to say something.
It sounds like when you were 19, you were a fucking idiot.
Sure.
Sure, yeah.
We really love each other.
I think the whole panel agrees on that.
Do you still have that plaque?
Wait, who else is here?
Oh, shit, Martin's here.
Do you still have that plaque?
I do. I do.
Can you bring it to work if we do a third season?
Sure.
If we do a third season, I'll bring it to work.
So this whole season's in the can, as they say?
Yeah, we finished in November.
Oh, okay.
How many eps?
Ten eps.
Thanks for repeating
my ridiculous abbreviation. When did it go from eps to eps? Ten eps. Thanks for repeating my ridiculous abbreviation.
When did it go from eppies to eps?
It was never eppies.
No.
That never happened.
Omar and Mike really lobbied to change it to eps.
And they got their way.
They refused to come out of their trailer until we did that.
So, Adam Scott, you've been in a ton of movies
Too many to name
But if I had to pick a favorite
Of all your movie roles
I would say that would be the part you played in Tork
Oh yeah
You were awesome in that
Len Maltin only gave it one and a half stars
Which is just ridiculous
Next time I see Len I'm going to slap him gently.
He called it ultra dumb, often laughable.
But didn't you think you were being funny
when you were making it?
Because I thought you were hilarious.
Oh, thanks.
I thought we were all being hilarious.
Right.
It's supposed to be kind of a comedy, right?
Yeah.
I think it's kind of a unique mix of a studio
wanting to make a fast and the furious
movie and and then a director wanting to make fun of fast and the furious and then some some actors
wanting to be in fast and the furious and then some actors wanting to make fun of fast and the
furious because there were like some dudes in the movie that would be like we'd be getting ready to
to shoot a scene and they would be doing curls before because they had like sleeveless leather
vests on they would be doing curls so that so their muscles are all big for when they're rolling
camera oh yeah i was just like what the fuck is this people do that that's crazy i did it before
we came out here no i know i know i know but this
is a podcast so it's different feel it jesus yeah he's ripped yeah you were um in my favorite
one of my favorite movies i've ever made ken marino uh it's called wet hot american summer
i feel like the actor's studio guy.
I got so serious there.
Wet hot.
Yeah, I love that movie.
Thanks.
The van, when you crash the van into the tree,
that's like one of the best vans crashing into a tree gags I've ever seen.
Thank you.
In motion picture history.
Actually, I was with David Wayne
who wrote and directed it the other day
and we were laughing about
name dropping
about how stupid it is
because I'm not not looking away.
I'm driving straight.
I'm looking where I'm driving.
It's like, why am I so surprised
that I'm about to drive into a tree?
I never look away.
So I'm like singing and I'm like, oh, fuck!
It's like as if the tree jumped out, you know?
I never, that wasn't the intention.
Yeah, it's amazing.
It makes me laugh just thinking about it.
Yeah, that movie's rad.
And Martin Starr, to, you know, continue to spread the love.
Martin's here?
Yes.
He's right here, He's right here.
Camouflage hoodie, callback.
Knocked up, you are the dude that had the crazy,
couldn't stop growing his facial hair because of a bet or a dare, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And my question for you is...
There are no wrong answers.
There are no wrong answers.
My question for you is,
did you enjoy not having to shave,
or was that a fucking itchy motherfucker?
I already wasn't shaving, so that's how that happened. That was already your thing?
It wasn't.
We sat down in rehearsals, and that question popped up.
Evan had played that with, or had heard of it or played it when he was a kid.
And he was one of the co-producers on it.
He played the beard game when he was a kid?
Thank you for asking what I was thinking, second chair.
That's what he said.
If you want to talk to him about it, you're welcome to.
What's his number?
He is Jewish, right? Yeah, so that makes sense. They get a little hairy on that curve. Yeah, yeah. If you want to talk to him about it, you're welcome to What's his number?
He is Jewish, right?
They get a little hairy on that curve Yeah, yeah
Sure
Or Greek
Maybe he's Greek
Hold on, I'm calling him
Either way, it works for me
It's all Greek
Seven
I'm glad I asked you about that
Is that it?
I think Ken's getting Evan on the phone
Hey, Evan
Did you have a beard when you were a kid?
No.
All right.
What did he say?
It's not important.
But we were all just talking about it.
Adam, it's not important.
Okay.
Have you guys been to the movies lately?
Any of you?

Excuse me, gentlemen on the panel, it's Margo.
And I want my country back.
That's the next thing they yell.
I feel like I've seen more movies, but I can't.
I don't remember.
Oh, yeah.
I just saw 2012, which was excellent.
Did you watch it at home on your big screen TV?
What format did you watch that on?
Yeah, big screen at home.
I watched it on a Blu-ray.
Yeah, nice.

Nice and clear?
Yeah, no, it was high def, 1080p.
And you liked it?
I mean, okay.
Have you been in something like that?
Like a big, things blowing up and torque is as crazy as it gets?
Yeah, that's about as close.
Well, you're about to be in Piranha.
Piranha 3D.
Oh, you're in that?
Yeah.
All right.
That's cool.
That's going to be some hot shit. You like whip your dick out and it flies you're in that? Yeah. All right. That's cool. That's going to be some hot shit.
You like whip your dick out and it flies out in our faces?
Yeah.
No, that's what I would hope for from Piranha 3D.
When a piranha swims up.
There is actually a scene in it.
I knew it.
Where someone's dick gets ripped off by a piranha.
Spoiler alert. Yeah, you have to.
You got piranhas. You gotta have
somebody's dick ripped off. Yeah.
Martin, any

Like in a hotel room?

Yeah. Did, uh, when your buddy Adam said you want to come be on I actually don't watch any movies Really? Yeah
When your buddy Adam said you want to come be on
I Love Movies

No
What about you Ken?
Any movies lately?

Put your foot in your mouth.
What else have I seen?

Oh, yeah, I saw that.
That's fun.
That should have been in 3D.
Yeah, yeah.
Which Lizzie Kaplan was in.
It was on our show.
That's right.
Yeah.
Have you guys seen the short film that Lizzie Kaplan did with T.J. Miller?
Yeah.
The alcoholic one?
Yeah.
Successful Alcoholics?
Awesome. Very good.
Yeah, that's very entertaining.
That's showing up at film festivals and stuff around the world.
She was great in Hot Tub Time.
And Corddry, too, was amazing.
I didn't understand.
Did her character have some real motivation for being so fascinated with hooking up with
John Cusack's character? She was, like, good to go
from the first scene. She liked him.
And there was never really an explanation.
There's that, like, connection, you know, that
un...
That I was hired to play a role,
so I'm gonna pretend to like this older dude for no reason?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that connection.
She was like,
excuse me, everybody, I am the coolest yeah. That connection. She was like, she was like, excuse me, everybody,
I am the coolest chick in the world.
Come here.
That was her part.
Yeah, yeah.
Well said.
Well said. She had to put it out there
right from the get-go.
But I saw a movie this very afternoon
as research for this program
called The Vicious Kind,
Vicious Kind Vicious Kind
that Adam Scott here stars
in and does an amazing
job. You saw it? Yeah, I watched
it today. Nominated for an
Academy Award. Adam was nominated for an Academy Award.
He was overlooked for that, Ken.
Independent Spirit Award.
No, he did not.
He was nominated.
True.
But should have won.
Who'd you lose to that?
Jeremy Renner prick?
Jeff Bridges.
Oh, Jeff Bridges, that asshole.
How come it's something that Jeff Bridges is in
can be called an independent movie?
Well, I think when they made it,
I think when they made Crazy Heart,
it was an independent movie,
and then it got picked up by...
Yeah, but you know what I mean? Once he's on board, movie and then it got picked up by a studio.
Once he's on board, he's going to get
picked up. That's how Iron Man got
picked up.
Really? It was an independent movie?
Jeff Bridges is in this? Sold!
Is he willing to shave his head?
Yeah. Iron Man
was a three3 million movie.
Shot in like a week.
They made it in Winnipeg.
You ever see Fat City?
Yeah.
John Bridgerton?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was just talking about that.
I don't know.
I haven't been hanging out with you lately.
Someone was just talking about it.
I don't know.
Help me out. It's weird how things happen like that
Yeah
You'll hear about one thing in one place
Stacey Keach
And you hear about it somewhere else
Stacey Keach
Stacey Keach and Jeff Bridges
Yeah, yeah
John Huston movie
Classic
Oh, Dan Etheridge was just talking about it
It's an awesome movie
Who was talking about it?
If you haven't seen it
It's a great
We're going to solve the mystery for all the listeners
That some guy nobody's heard of was talking about
Dan of the G producers Party down Oh, okay I mean, it's still a pointless story To get to the end of We're going to solve the mystery for all the listeners that some guy nobody's heard of was talking about.
Dan of the G-Producers party down.
Oh, okay.
I mean, it's still a pointless story to get to the end of, but...
I love that guy.
Do you guys ever drive home from the set in your pink ties after a long night and get a lot of weird looks from people driving by?
We each stall four of them at the end of the season.
That's true. That's a true story.
Yeah.
each stall four of them at the end of the season.
That's true. That's a true story.
Yeah.
We brought Martin down mostly to verify what Ken and Adam
put out there because they're
a couple of liars
who like to lie all the time.
You know what I just watched yesterday
and today was Private Parts
which I hadn't seen in a long time.
You broke it up?
I broke it up over a couple days. It was a good movie which I hadn't seen in a long time. You broke it up? I broke it up over a couple days.
It was a good movie.
I hadn't seen it in like 10 years.
What did you think of that movie, Doug?
Is that Howard Stern?
Yeah.
Does it hold up?
Yeah, it's very good.
The only thing I didn't like about it, I thought Giamatti was excellent.
Yeah, he's great.
But anyone sits around kind of
proud of themselves for calling someone
pig vomit, like that's a clever thing
to call somebody, is a little weird.
Yeah, and you know, some of the
comedy bits,
whatever, it's
kind of an impressive movie
that they chose to
make, Howard Stern chose to make a movie
about himself, and they actually went and made
a good little movie
and he's in it
and he plays himself
which is kind of awesome
no shit
I'm yet
he's a disc jockey
I saw it too
he talks on the radio
and says offensive things we're at UCB I'm yes ending you yeah no I saw it too He talks on the radio And says offensive things
We're at UCB
I'm yes ending you
Yeah no I get it
I get it
For God's sake
But that is a solid movie
That woman that directed it
Betsy Thomas
Betty Thomas
Hill Street Blues
The audience gets right up your ass
Say anything wrong
It's Betty
Turn around
It's Betty Thomas
Whatever happened to Sergeant
How fucking dare
you but she has
made more money
than any female
director in the
history of
more than Penny
Marshall
female director
because she directed
Dr. Doolittle
and I think she did
the squeak wool
to one of those
she did one of those
big hits recently
the chipmunk movie
yeah yeah
it's weird because
private parts and the late shift the late shift also was awesome and then she went and
made the shitty little animal movies wait late you wait you didn't like dr.
Doolittle with yes yes that late shift the letterman Leno thing. Oh, no, no. With Helen Kushnick. I'm thinking of the movie that...
I can't think of one thing or the other thing.
Michael Keaton's big breakout movie, Night Shift.
See, I always say Gung Ho was the big breakout movie.
Michael Keaton's second.
Let's play the Len Maltin game you guys They're really excited about that
Is this a common thing?
Do you guys always play the Len Maltin game?
We try to play it in every episode
I think we ran out of time once
Once?
Yeah
What movie?
Ran out of time once
Once
Johnny Dangerously
And you didn't even need
Leonard Maltin's book for that
Well neither did I
What was it?
I wasn't listening to you
I was listening to the guy
In Star Wars
Like awesome cool thing
And he's got like
Some sort of edible
Wristband on
He's got two bananas
In his hand
This guy's fucking awesome
Are you on ecstasy?
He's got his pants
In cups
Like cuffed up twice I think he might be on ecstasy? He's got his pants in cups, like cupped up twice.
I think he might be on ecstasy.
His one shoelace is undone.
He's got sunglasses on.
It couldn't be darker in here.
And he's got a hat on that's got some sort of, I don't know what it is.
It's like a tribal.
A can of sugar-free Red Bull.
And it looks like it's never been worn.
Turn around.
Is there a tag?
From South Dakota.
Ah. Well, there you go. All there a tag? From South Dakota. Ah!
Well, there you go.
It's from South Dakota.
We solved that riddle.
He's got a Red Bull, a couple bananas, it's dark, and he's wearing sunglasses.
Hit it.
Red Bull.
Blues Brothers.
Red Bull and two bananas.
What's that?
What's that that you're showing us?
What is that?
What's the eye test that we're doing right now?
I love it.
They are going to make a sequel
to Private Parts?
Oh, well.
That's neither here nor there.
He was trying to tell us telepathically earlier
that we should talk about
the need for a Private Parts sequel.
Because no one knows what's happened to Howard Stern's story
since the end of the movie. Like, what happened
to that guy? Let's get an update.
I have an idea. Let's talk about things
that... Oh!
Oh, for a cock's sake.
That's horrible. There were a couple
of people nodding off, so I spilled water on them.
That's just because
you told Ken he was drunk
at the top of the show.
Payback.
I thought he was doing a drunk thing, but it turns out
he's just having a couple beers.
Let's play the Len Moulton game.
Do you like the app?
The Len Moulton app?
It's probably better than carrying the book around,
but do you find the app to actually
save time and everything, or is it less fun
than flipping through a book?
I like it because the book,
the print is really small.
This is a little bigger and illuminated.
And also,
I just like that I can
set aside the movies. I used to have to
put post-it notes inside the book
for every page, and this just makes it a little
easier. Do you have a theme song for this part of the show?
No.
No, I just say, let's play the Leonard Maltin game.
And then...
That could happen.
Or someone could talk to a guy about his bananas for ten minutes.
Like, you don't know which way it's going to go
when I say it's time for the Leonard Maltin game.
That's true.
You said once, right?
Once you didn't make it to the going for two.
The squeak will.
Can you overdose on potassium?
I think so.
We're going to find out.
Yep.
ODP.
I'm down with it.
You know me.
Okay.
This is the topic in honor of Party Down,
premiering second season on Starz on April 23rd.
With a Z. The category is all movies that are currently playing on Starz.
Oh.
Ah.
Yeah.
We'll see how well you know your network.
Ah.
Which would be not at all.
Why would you be, like, scouring the guide,
finding out what movies are playing on Starz?
Who has Starz?
We've got some folks with Starz,
so please don't yell out the answers.
Because I'm sure you have no other cable channels
and have memorized their schedule.
We'll start here on this end of the table
with Martin,
and we'll let you pick the year
so you get to kind of guide this thing.
Do you want a movie from 2000,
95, or 2009?
1974.
I don't have any 74s.
2009, 95, or 2000?
I didn't know this was multiple choice.
Is the whole thing multiple choice?
It might help you.
What?
If you pick a year that's like a more memorable year for you.
What are my options?
2000, 95, or 2009?
2009.
That would be like a really recent movie.
I love it.
Fairly recent.
I still won't know it.
Vicious Kind.
Is it the Vicious Kind?
No, it's not on Starz.
This movie was made in 2009 and it's on Starz right now.
Yeah, that's a reasonable turnaround.
Yeah, no, totally.
Leonard Maltin gives this two stars
and I'll tell you the genre
it's kind of like a
drama crime thriller
and I'll give you one clue
about it that something from
Mel says about it
this sort of
version of Fatal Attraction
good clue right?
the hand that rocks the cradle.
That's not how you play the game.
No, that's skipping way ahead.
Saving us a lot of time.
How many names do you think you can get it in?
How many names are there?
Seven.
He says he can name in seven. Adam, can you name it in less names?
I think he can name in seven? Adam, can you name it in less names? I think I can name it in
Three names
Do I get to go again?
It'll come back around to you, Ken
It won't come back around
Three names?
No
You're going to tell Adam to name that movie?
Name that movie
Alright, Adam
I have a good feeling you could do it
because of your reaction
when you heard it's 2009
and it's a version
of Fatal Attraction,
but maybe you need the names.
Matthew Humphreys.
Wow.
Shit.
Christine Lottie.
Mmm, delicious.
Another good one.
I would have had it by now.
And your third name is Jerry O'Connell.
That would be Obsessed.
Obsessed is correct.
Nicely played, Adam Scott.
I have that on my Netflix queue.
Oh, you do?
Yeah, yeah.
I haven't gotten around to it yet.
That queue gets fucking long.
Yeah, yeah, it's a big, long queue.
You start looking at it going,
I gotta take some shit off my queue.
It becomes like you get, it gets weird.
I'm like, oh, this, hey, this shitty movie I haven't seen.
Let me put that on my queue.
Yeah.
And then I look at the poster, I'm like, well, no.
But now you also have the instant queue, which is another like 73 movies.
That's the one, that's the one I'm talking about.
That's the one, that's the shit.
Oh, you don't even pay attention to the DVD queue anymore?
No, no, no.
I just go to the instant queue
because it's getting better and better.
Yeah, Jesus.
Anyway.
The state of things.
I can't believe what's happened to the world.
Let's start with Martin again.
I like when he picks the year.
You like that part?
Yeah, 2000. It's a fun banter we have. Here with Martin again. I like when he picks the year. You like that part? Yeah, 2000.
It's a fun banter we have.
Here we go again.
2000, 1995, or 2001.
Wait, we're not playing for people?
This is just between he and I.
I'm sorry.
No, Adam's right, actually.
I always forget to get players for you guys to play for.
Oh, shit.
Especially now that you already have a point, Adam.
That means this gentleman knows who to pick.
Who would you like to be?
What's your name?
Matt.
And who would you like to play for you?
Adam.
Smart man.
I think you kind of set him up
so he would have felt stupid
if he hadn't have picked Adam.
Matt.
Or he would have been like a genius
if he picked one of you guys
and then you pulled it out.
Then everybody would have went insane.
Well, Adam knows way more about movies than we do.
Matt, he does?
You probably read the article in Backstage Magazine
that Adam is a...
He's a movie buff.
Yeah.
It's not just Avatar that's getting him out of the house.
I left one of them up there in the back.
Someone got lucky.
Maybe they'll ask you to sign it later.
one of them up there in the back.
Someone got lucky. Maybe they'll ask you to sign it later.
What's your name, young lady?
Colleen.
Colleen, which one of these other two
solid players would you like
on your behalf?
You don't want to pick me. I'm just going to tell you.
He's talking you out of it.
I say pick him anyway.
Oh, shit.
Come on, Adam's going to win.
This is all a waste of time.
That's true.
And what's your...
What's your name?
That's Ryan.
Who are you going to pick?
So Ken's going to play for you, Ryan.
So, yeah.
Hey, Matt, you're dead to me.
Matt's going to...
Mark, isn't it?
Matt.
Matt.
Matt's going to...
Matt's going to win a bag full of things.
Pot?
No, I don't give away pot, but that's a good idea.
All right, so did you pick a year?
Huh?
What?
2095 or 2001?
2001.
All right.
Oh, yeah.
Were you born in 2001?
Len gives this a generous three stars, three star rating.
It's from 2001, and the genre is drama.
It's a drama.
Good dramatic movie.
Good dramatic movie right after 9-11.
It's a Pulitzer Prize winning novel.
This movie brings a Pulitzer Prize winning novel to life.
That's the clue.
And there are 12 names.
Martin Starr, start the bidding.
Can you start at the top of the list as opposed to the bottom?
No, sir.
Just no switcheroonies.
Absolutely not.
No flippy floppies.
But you can say 12 names.
I bet you'd get it in 12 names maybe.
Fucking A, 12 names.
12 names.
Here we go. I'm sorry.
Now I just feel guilty for two people.
I don't know shit about movies.
I'll go
six names. Alright.
You could have just said 11. Two names.
Ken Marino can get it in two names.
So Martin Starr, to win the point,
all you have to do is say, name that movie.
Ken Marino. I get to win a point?
I think you'll win. Ken Marino, name that movie.
Because that's tough.
Did I say his name right, though?
Do I have to say his name right?
No, if he doesn't get it, do we get another shot at it?
No, Martin gets the point.
Fuck yeah.
It's set up so people who aren't good at it can still win points.
Two names.
There we go.
Bam.
This is how we're going to do it.
The names are Mark Lawrence. Mark is spelled with a C. I know, I. There we go. Bam. This is how we're going to do it. The names are Mark Lawrence.
Mark is spelled with a C.
I know, I know, I know.
Okay.
And...
And then the next name is Janetta Arnetta.
Notebook.
The notebook.
Notebook is incorrect.
He's on his feet, though.
He's on his feet.
Very proud of his incorrect answer.
Sometimes it's about getting the crowd on your side.
It's not about winning.
It's about being the favorite.
Ken, you got it wrong.
You got it wrong.
Oh.
Oh.
I'll read the rest of the names so that Adam Scott can impress everybody by jumping in with the answer.
Larry Pine, Jason Bear, Gordon... The Hours?
No.
Reece E. Fonz, Scott Glenn, Pete Possilthwaite...
Jesus.
Kate Blanchett, Judy Dench, Julianne Moore...
Oh, The Shipping News?
And Kevin Spacey.
That's right.
He looks at me like, The Shipping News?
Dan Moore and Kevin Spacey.
That's right.
He looks at me like, the shipping news?
Could it be that movie that most people in this room have never seen or cared for if they did?
Can you check
and make sure it's not the notebook?
Let me double check.
A man beaten down by life
is brought by circumstance to his ancestral
home of Newfoundland.
Did the notebook take place in Newfoundland?
Yes.
I love that you thought the notebook take place in Newfoundland? Yes. Ryan Gosling was born in Newfoundland.
I love that you thought the notebook won a Pulitzer.
I didn't even
hear that part.
I just heard it was based on a book.
But I wouldn't know
any either way.
It's very possible that I would have thought that.
Alright, so
Martin gets the point and we start the... Fuck yeah. That's absurd that Martin I would have thought that. It's true. All right, so Martin gets the point, and we start the...
Fuck yeah.
That's absurd that Martin got a point.
You need to figure out the rules of the game.
That's the start of the fun of the game.
The best player doesn't always win.
Pick a fight with the game, bro.
It's not me.
It's the game.
Maybe I will.
Don't hate the player.
Hate the game.
Maybe I will.
Fight that game.
Punch the Leonard Moulton game in the face.
Pick between these years, Adam.
2000, 95, or 2008?
95.
I'm going to go 95.
Nice.
One person clap for that.
It's a person I went to see Greenberg with.
Two and a half stars.
Oh.
My life's in turnaround.
How do you do it? No, that's not it. How do you do it, Leonard Maltin? Two and a half stars Oh My life's in turnaround How do you do it
No that's not it
How do you
How do you do it
Len Malton
Two and a half stars
That's ridiculous
This is three and a half
At best
I mean
At least
It's a crime mystery thriller
And here's something
That Len says about it
The film is oozing
With atmosphere
And period detail
Yeah
Thank God you said period detail.
That sounds horrible.
No, it's a good thing I said with atmosphere and.
Period.
Because if it was just the film is oozing period detail,
then you'd all just pound your buzzers and yell Carrie.
All right.
There are ten names
Start the bidding with Adam Scott
You only get one shot
At saying the amount of names
No the bidding can go all the way
Until somebody next to you says name that movie
I'll start it
At five names
Yeah I like that Bold move Ken Marino Next to you says name that movie. I'll start it at five names.
Yeah, I like that.
Bold move.
Ken Marino?
Oh, Jesus.
Name that movie.
He says name that movie.
You're going to let him take the whole thing down right here and now.
I did it.
Do you want to?
Oh, wow.
Marino's on his feet. Do you want a shot at it?
He's itching his elbows. Does Martin want a shot at it? He's itching his elbows.
Does Martin want a shot at it?
No.
Name that movie.
He doesn't get a shot at it.
All right.
Ken thinks he has a winning formula here.
Now I know how it works.
I'm going to get the goddamn point.
I'm looking at the names.
I'll be very impressed if you get this, Adam.
Okay.
Let's hear it.
All right.
Here we go.
Now I'm just standing.
Jernard Burks was in this movie.
The best.
Jernard Burks, okay.
The best.
Lisa Nicole Carson.
Lisa Nicole Carson, okay.
Do you know who she is?
Nope.
She's that big booby lady on Ally McBeal, that's right.
Okay.
Albert Hall was in this movie.
Mel Winkler. The great Mel W was in this movie. Mel Winkler.
The great Mel Winkler.
The great Mel Winkler, yeah.
And then Terry Kinney
is your fifth name.
L.A. Confidential?
Oh, that's a great guess.
God damn it.
But it's wrong.
God damn it.
It's Devil in the Blue Dress.
Whoa!
Yeah, Denzel Washington
in L.A. instead of
Russell Crowe in LA
That's right
So that was a good guess
The only thing I remember
About that movie
Is when he's having sex
With that woman
And she's like
You're hitting my spot
You're hitting my spot
You're hitting my spot
Now that means
Are you going over
To my place right
Sort of
And Don Cheadle
Was in that movie As a character named Mouse and he wasn't
he didn't get nominated for sporting actor but he should have I thought yeah that was like his
breakout yeah yeah he was I'm so mad that I didn't get that I'm pissed at you don't beat yourself up
it's a tied match the next person to get a point Marino's up out of his seat again he likes to go
over and high-five the guy he's playing for.
Well, I was the last guy picked.
I feel like the last guy on the kickball team in elementary school.
Shut the fuck up.
Fair enough.
I hope we get to do another season.
I'll have you guys back on.
That's not a problem. I'll have you on in my next season
The former stars of stars
Alright
It's a great show by the way
So watch it
And that Ryan Hansen guy is really funny
He was on Veronica Mars
And I like him
Alright enough
Let's see So we'll start with Martin down here Veronica Mars, and I like him. All right, enough.
Let's see.
So we'll start with Martin down here on my end, and you get to pick a year, 2000 or 2008.
Just the two choices?
Yeah.
Yeah, we're getting down to it.
Ken, what are you doing?
We don't need many more movies,
because this next point's going to decide it.
Yep.
What did he just do?
He was just checking the door.
How about I pick the year?
Yeah, I think it's Ken's.
Martin could let you pick the year if you want.
I would if...
He gave a shit about me.
I would have said that, but he said it for me.
Which year do you think Ken doesn't want, 2000 or 2008?
I think he's better off than I am at either year. I'm going to say
2008.
Bam.
That'll get you.
Okay. Pretty reasonable
three and a half stars. I might go four.
One of my favorite movies of 2008.
I wish I knew you better.
Yeah, right?
You could get in my head.
Minimalist filmmaking at its best
What do you think of that?
Eraserhead
2008
Eraserhead 2
For genre it says romance and crime
Let me double check
Yeah, I guess so
I don't know about crime
Or romance
What the fuck?
We could just call it a drama.
How old is Malton now?
It would be a perfectly suitable drama.
And there are seven names.
We start the bidding with Martin.
2008.
You can bid seven names.
Romance and crime, but not really romance and crime.
How many names, Martin?
Three and a half stores.
You don't really care that much, do you?
Oh, whether...
Good.
That poor girl.
Seven names, that's all.
The things in this bag are going to help pay her rent.
I can't imagine what's in that bag.
I don't want to think about it, though.
So you want to go seven names, probably?
Yeah.
Okay.
Seven names. 2,008. I to go seven names probably probably yeah okay seven
names 2008 I'll go six names Wow fucking risky bro
name that show
Wow somebody's not from around here That calls movies shows
Alright
Alright let's do it
You might not be able to get this
I don't know
We'll see
Well uh
Well Ken is folding up his clothes
Like
George Clooney style
Did you just come from
First class on a plane
Is that why you had the
Nice jacket and tie
First class on a plane
Okay here's your 16th
That's where you wear
That's where you wear
Your good suits
That's where
George Clooney did that movie
Alright
Richard Kind was in this movie
Seventh Build.
Not to be confused with Vicious Kind.
Oh, here we go.
Ken's got another beer.
I just called up JetBlue.
Yeah?
And they don't have first class,
so now I don't know what the hell I'm going to do
when I'm going back to...
That's what you dress up for?
Yeah.
I dress up for first class on a plane.
Oh, you know, you should get a Southwest flight then for first class.
Southwest is festival seating.
It doesn't have any...
It doesn't have any...
God damn, I hate the standing room section.
There's always some hippie girl dancing around.
Michael Kumpsty.
Marion Seldes
Ham Asbas
Ham Abas
This is a foreign name
Is this a Bollywood flick?
Dana Greer
Shit
Haas Scheiman
Who I think is on
He plays on
Don't give him any hints for fuck's sake, man.
I think that's that guy.
I might be wrong.
Anyway, those are the six names
that you have.
I'll give you the clue again.
Is it The Visitor?
That's correct.
Oh, Adam Scott.
Immediately on the...
You're going up in the brackets to come back
and compete against the likes of Patton Oswalt,
Dana Gould, Jerry O'Connell.
Yes, the Jerry O'Connell.
Those are all top-scoring players.
Now wait, who was on just a couple weeks ago
who was getting them with no names?
Anthony Jeselnik is the all-time champion, so he's who you're going to have to try to take down.
Jeselnik.
Jeselnik, yes.
I thought I could get obsessed with no names, but I thought I would look like too much of an asshole if I said that, and then got it wrong.
I still ended up looking like an asshole, though.
You were terrific.
I think you were totally good.
You played the game fairly.
You didn't have to stand up and move around
and fold clothes.
You just sat there, focused
and intense.
I could actually see you, but instead of wearing
camouflage, that's rude to the host.
The Visitor, terrific movie.
My favorite movie of that year.
That's why I say four stars and one of the best of that year.
I would say the best. What was better than of that year That's why I say four stars And one of the best of that year Yeah I would say the best
What was better than that
That year
The Dark Knight
But
Come on
Boo
Oh come on
It's an opinion
Fuck off
Jesus Christ
Yeah
Martin's got my back
But
No people like to
That didn't work out at all
About these things
No that was good
You put them in their place
People are really opinionated
About movies
They might never boo again.
So you don't think The Dark Knight was overrated?
Just a little?
You know, let's face it.
Over time, I'm going to love it less and less.
But at the time, it just really hit the spot for me.
Yeah.
Oh, you're hitting my spot.
You're hitting my spot.
You're hitting my spot.
Call back.
What about the end of The Dark Knight when they did the...
Okay, spoilers, everybody.
Spoiler alert.
What's the Michael Douglas, Demi Moore movie
with the Michael Crichton
Disclosure?
What about the Disclosure
digital where they're seeing through walls
and with sonar,
they can see everything?
Yeah, yeah, that wasn't my favorite part.
Why did you?
Keep talking amongst yourselves.
What the hell's going on?
You know, you knew The Visitor
because you worked with Richard Jenkins on Step Brothers.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Step Brothers.
How about that?
Yeah, Richard Jenkins was incredible, wasn't he? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Step Brothers. How about that? Yeah, Richard Jenkins was incredible, wasn't he?
Yeah, yeah.
He was so good.
He was unbelievable in that movie.
He's incredible in everything, though.
He's great.
Yeah, flirting with disaster.
I just watched him in...
Oh, he's awesome in Flirting with Disaster.
I just watched him in Rumor Has It.
Oh.
Now, let me ask you this.
Wait a second.
Did you watch the whole thing?
I watched the whole thing.
Because that movie is so unbelievably sticky.
What the hell?
What happened?
How could that happen?
I never saw it.
What happened?
I don't know.
Well, here's a question.
What happened with Rob Reiner?
Because he did some great, great movies.
With each movie he makes, he makes a movie worse than the last.
And he's made some shit lately.
What happened?
And it keeps getting worse.
I don't know.
He's got premature Gary Marshall disease or something.
But he made Spinal Tap.
He made amazing movies.
Some of the great...
What?
Princess Bride.
Princess Bride.
He made great, great movies.
The Sure Thing was good.
Stand By Me.
Holy shit.
Stand By Me was great.
But then after that...
No, when Harry and Sally
is fucking lost.
When Harry and Sally,
but like North.
I think North is when it all
went south. Yeah.
What the hell happened?
Alright, so you win
my friend Matt.
You win a two-trunk
to tweet t-shirt available at
donkeytees.com. You win a
bottle of Spill It Cleanup
Spill Clean from the good people
of Formula 420.
Wait, what the fuck is that?
Wait, wait, wait.
What is that?
It's the stuff if you spill something
It's like Goo Gone.
It'll clean it up.
But why is it called Formula 420?
It doesn't work for sperm.
It works for bong water.
It's for bong water.
Goo Gone is not for sperm?
Well, I guess it could be.
I never heard of it until you said it.
And it sounds dirty and racist.
And then you get a copy of Doug Benson, Unbalanced Load,
that's available on Comedy Central Records.
And this was given to me by someone who knew
that I was passionate about Gerard Butler.
But I want to pay that forward. This was given to me
at a show in Portland this last
weekend at the Aladdin Theater. Somebody
gave me a Gerard Butler I'm a fan
license plate
frame.
And I want you to have it, Matt.
Wow.
A mutual friend
of a few of ours, I don't know if Martin
knows him, but Tall John Schrader, as a joke,
will put a license plate frame on his friend's cars
without telling them, and they drive around for a few days.
So you could do that with this.
Put it on some dude's car,
and he'll get funny looks from people all day long
going, why are you so into Gerard Butler?
That's great.
When John did it to me, he put a been there, done that
on the back of my car.
And I noticed it right away, because I hadn't been there yet.
But you will eventually do it.
I will do that, yeah.
I'm just wondering if the license plate is just saying, Gerard Butler, I'm a fan.
Or if it's saying, Gerard Butler, I'm a fan.
No, I think that's it.
I think that she wanted me To pull in front of him
In traffic
Right
And then him like
Pull over
I want to meet you
So it's like actively
It's actively addressing
Gerard Butler
That's so specific
Yeah
She's going to be mad at me
For regifting it
But I really
There's no way
It's ending up on my car
And I don't want to
I don't want to just
Have it sit at home
Do you guys have anything

Why would you say Jeff Bridges in the first place?
When I find you, Brady, I'm going to fucking kill you.

Jeff Bridges is his shithead and Brady's a shithead.
Yeah!
Yeah.
