Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, squeamish, maybe sticky seeds With 50 azepam or kernels in his teeth They're still not warm, then he won't see Because Doug loves movies! Hey, hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug, and I love movies. This is Doug on Movies. It gets better every year.
Starting point is 00:00:35 Coming to you from the Traverse City Film Festival in Traverse City, Michigan. Yeah! City, Michigan! Hang on, I gotta make an adjustment here. Oh, Jesus! This is like Festivus.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Feet some strength. You can do it! Oh, that felt good. Oh, it feels so good to finally get it where you want it Like am I the only festival goer That's just tired of the sponsors Having seats that they get roped off That just end up empty
Starting point is 00:01:17 Come on sponsors You don't listen to this podcast But if you did You rich people, give somebody a call when you're not going to use your seats. That's what I say. But other than that, oh my God,
Starting point is 00:01:36 what an amazing festival. It's Wednesday, July 27, 2016, day two of the Traverse City Film Festival, and I know a lot of people at the festival might come out to see something without necessarily, that's the best way to see movies at the festival, just go, take your chances, see what happens.
Starting point is 00:01:56 So there might be people here tonight that are like, I don't know what Doug Loves Movies podcast is, but I'm gonna go because there's a buzz in town and people are walking around with a bunch of weird signs. So my question is, for those of you that don't worry
Starting point is 00:02:11 about it if you don't listen to the podcast, but who here has a name tag situation? That is a nice name tag turnout and I'm glad to see there are none in the balcony because you probably wouldn't get picked. So it worked out pretty good.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Dust Independence Day. I like it. Attack of the Kelly Tomatoes. That's a good one. Dan Andreas. You can't fault that one. Your name is Dom? So you're Dom Minions.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Yeah, there you go. Have I seen that one before? You showed it to me on Twitter. That is correct. I was just testing you. What does the Jurassic Park one say? Jurassic Mark? Jurassic Nick Park?
Starting point is 00:03:01 Please leave the auditorium. You know there's a movie called Nick of Time, right? Don't have to Photoshop shit with that movie Oh, this one's really complicated What's going on here? Oh, I thought you were like, here's my name tag Just hold up a camera. Bach to the future? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:37 And you've got Bach, the composer, a doll of him on there? And Jesse. And Jesse? Okay. We'll talk about that later. There's no guarantees that there's anybody up here named Jesse tonight. But what's this obsession with Bach? Is your name Bach?
Starting point is 00:03:53 Yeah. Your first name? No. No. Of course not. My first name is Beethoven. So Bach is your last name, B-A-C-H. Yep. and what's your first name Matt Matt Matt Bach why did you get a picture of Andy Griffith do you get it he laughed and he didn't even get it There was this show on TV called Matlock starring Andy Griffith.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Is that a movie? Oh, good point. You really showed me. Matlock is not a movie. I wish it would have been. That would have been great, Matlock, the movie. Thank you. You can put them down now.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Thank you, everybody, for bringing name tags. And all of those folks are going to have an opportunity to potentially win some prizes at the end of the show. So if you didn't bring a name tag, don't feel bad because the prize is just this bag of shit. This bag of garbage. Doug plugs later tonight. Who's coming to my interruption later tonight state theater we're going to interrupt
Starting point is 00:05:10 kisses for my president or is it kisses from my president I think it's for kisses for my president and it is a movie from 1964 starring Fred McMurray who everybody loves from the uh flubber movies and uh he was the absent-minded professor and he was also the dad on my three sons and uh he stars
Starting point is 00:05:37 in a movie that i have never seen or i certainly maybe i'll remember it once I start watching it but where he's it takes place in 1964 and a woman becomes president and he's the first man and the whole comedy is just about how crazy it is that a woman would be president and so Michael Moore picked that movie
Starting point is 00:06:01 to show tonight and I said okay it's your festival and so I didn't mean to bring you guys pick that movie to show tonight and I said, okay, it's your festival. And so I didn't mean to bring you guys down. Some of you seem really fired up that you were going tonight. I think it'll be hilarious. I hope it's hilarious, but I'm just saying
Starting point is 00:06:18 I don't know what that movie is. And then Friday night, in honor of it being Donald Trump's favorite movie, we're going to interrupt Bloodsport. Yeah. JCVD. And speaking of interruptions, I'm going to interrupt The Rock in San Francisco on Saturday, August 13th at 420, douglosemovies.com.
Starting point is 00:06:42 That's douglosemovies.com. From the corrections department, we correct some things sometimes from previous episodes. From the corrections department, let's see, it's Now You See Him, Now You Don't. Not Now You See
Starting point is 00:06:58 Me, Now You Don't. Drew Barrymore was in Batman Forever, not Batman and Robin. And Drew Barrymore is not in Chef. I'm so glad we were able to clear that up, because people are upset, and I believe in unity rather than division. I believe in adding rather than division. When it comes to math, the simpler the better. Now it's time for Tweet Relief, tweets about movies.
Starting point is 00:07:29 Past and future Doug Little's movies guest, Ken Jennings, tweeted, I wouldn't vote for Donald Trump if he was running against the child catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I was worried I couldn't get through that one without laughing because you have to say chitty bang bang
Starting point is 00:07:53 this has been tweet relief classic kids movie edition let's see what's in the prize bag you guys someone's gonna win this someone's gonna get this stuff I called it shit earlier but it's stuff it's straight up stuff this festival is's going to get this stuff. I called it shit earlier, but it's stuff. It's straight up stuff. This festival is so nice to me.
Starting point is 00:08:09 They always give me a ton of great things that I can't even use. For instance, one week, one free week of yen yoga and fitness over a yen yoga and fitness on Front Street.
Starting point is 00:08:25 I'm here to watch movies, not to get fit. But yeah, only one person can use this. They're very strict about that on this thing. A lovely photograph of, I assume, somewhere
Starting point is 00:08:42 in the area. And I also assume by an area photographer. Yes, Diane Budznowski. Budznowski. Yeah, so that's a beautiful picture. And then, oh, this is a fun gift certificate. It's good for one six-inch pie at the Grand Traverse Pie Company.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Those are good, right? Speaking of good, here's a cookie from Fresh Coast. Also delicious, but they're for dogs. Every year I give these away after the first year where I drunkenly ate mine I just saw cherry chews and they just look like little biscuits that have a nice icing on them and so I ate them right up so I'm not making that mistake anymore and oh I drank a whole jar of this last year. That was a bad idea. Famous cream mustard.
Starting point is 00:09:50 No, I don't like mustard, so that's why I'm giving that away. And this is another fun one. It's fudge. A little piece of fudge. I wish I could read the name of the place it's from. Where? Murdicks? Murdick's?
Starting point is 00:10:07 Murdick's Fudge? Okay. My name's Murdick. You want some fudge? No thanks, Murdick. I'm good, Murdick. The koozie
Starting point is 00:10:22 that I don't understand what it's promoting. Some marijuana rolling papers that say Viceland on them. I got high in the Viceland bus at Comic-Con, so thanks to them. And a Doug Loves Movies t-shirt. And that's just the stuff that I brought. My guests will also have prizes for the bags, so let's get them out here. Let's give a big, warm Traverse City welcome to Jesse Pasternak, Amy Smart, and Jeff Tate. Jeff was... Thank you. That's great.
Starting point is 00:11:13 They all got fans. I love this photographer. He's very brazen. Very black. He walks over and says, Hey, Jesse, I'd like to get your attention for a photograph.
Starting point is 00:11:23 We're making a podcast here, man. Yeah, it's all audio. Respect the medium. Let's respect our first-time guest. We've got to talk to her immediately. Amy Smart is here, everybody. Amy Smart is here, everybody. Completely shanghaied and bamboozled Because when she was asked if she wanted to do a movie podcast
Starting point is 00:11:52 She thought it would be, you know, like in a room somewhere With headphones and microphones Yeah And no audience And you wouldn't have to compete in film-related games against a comedian and a film historian. And me.
Starting point is 00:12:13 I said comedian. Yeah, I get it. I got what you did. So thank you so much, Amy, for just walking into this trap. I'm here to rally. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:26 I think you're going to do great because we all love you from all the movies you've been in. You're a big movie star. And you also love Traverse City. You summer here. I do. Yeah, that's neat. This is the best city ever. Love it.
Starting point is 00:12:41 It's a good break from L.A. Yeah, it's a perfect getaway from LA it's beautiful it's similarly warm you know what I mean so you don't have to change it you just bring the same clothes you were wearing out there and uh
Starting point is 00:12:59 yeah everyone here is so nice like when you're walking down the street in LA, people aren't going to say hi like they do here. Because here they say hi like they don't want anything from you. You know what I mean? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Like, hi! And you're like, do they recognize me or not? You know? No, they're just nice. It's great. Yeah, nice people here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:23 And you've got a movie that's playing on I want to get this right it's Friday at 6 o'clock yes at one of the venues here do you know which one at Lars
Starting point is 00:13:32 Lars Hochstad Hochstad yeah the gymnasium that's amazing but it's got an amazing theater in it and um
Starting point is 00:13:39 so that's Friday and what's the movie called it's called Sister Cities we already talked about it backstage I still can't remember it. It's one of those ones that just doesn't stick for me. Sister Cities, what's it about?
Starting point is 00:13:50 Yeah, it's about these four sisters who come together for their mother's funeral. And it takes place over a weekend. And it's the dysfunction and drama and the whole crazy relationship that they all share. Chekhovian, I think they call it in the program guide. It is Chekhovian. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:11 But not based on Chekhov. No. Just more like a modern story of four sisters. Like, we added a sister. Yeah. That's what modernized it. Chekhov, the guy from Star Trek? Jeff, don't be dumb. He passed away recently.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Oh, no, that wasn't... That was... I get that wrong all the time. I'm terrible with Star Trek names. Oh, I was right that time. Still a terrible joke to make about a great actor that I miss very much
Starting point is 00:14:44 who I think is in a movie here at the festival or he's got something coming out oh yeah, Star Trek so yeah, yeah so I'm excited to see your film, Amy and thanks again for being here
Starting point is 00:14:59 and let's meet the other fellas on the panel, starting directly on my left, you know him, you love him. One person yelled out for him, even though he's an adult man, yelling at a 20-year-old. It's Jesse Pasternak, everybody! Thank you, thank you.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Third appearance on this show in as many years, or I should say more because you do it in New York as well, because you hail in New York. Yep. You come to Traverse City to moderate film discussions
Starting point is 00:15:36 after the movies here at the festival, and you also attend school in Bloomington, Indiana. Yep. Your mom calls it Bloomy's. That's right. I was going to say it if you didn't. Sorry. No, it's all good.
Starting point is 00:15:53 We're like a great team. We're really working together well. And how's school going? Oh, it's been going great. I actually was recently in London with a school program. We were there for three weeks just studying screenwriting. It was awesome. I'm sorry, I missed something. Now, when they do screenwriting in
Starting point is 00:16:09 England, do they write from the other side of the road? Yep, and there are U's where you don't expect U's to be. So, take it a little bit of an adaptation. And I heard you're turning 21 this December. I am. And then you'll go back to school for your last semester,
Starting point is 00:16:27 or you'll have another year after that? Another year after that. Because you know that's quite a party school that you've chosen. Yeah. And you're not a partier, really. Yeah, I wish someone had told that to me. I only learned that halfway through the year. I would have told you that!
Starting point is 00:16:41 Or didn't you see the movie Breaking Away? Oh, yeah. The students are very mean to the locals. Locals are the heroes. The cutters, yeah. They're the heroes in that movie. Not those fucking... You are. Not a student
Starting point is 00:16:56 like you. Jerk that just comes to town and doesn't like their partying ways. Never describe me better, Doug. It's me to a T. I heard you tried to outlaw dancing at the school. Well, I did until this kid wouldn't stop dancing and talking about how Footloose's style was. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Came right back at me. Kept talking about how Footloose's style was. Speaking of people with Footloose style, what do you got to say? That Footloose would have been crazy If it was just everybody was in that town And then Lithgow moved there
Starting point is 00:17:28 It was like no dancing That's what the movie was about I don't like what you guys are up to I'm not from here but Lock it down It's crazy enough as it is Because kids die from drunk driving And they go we gotta stop the dancing
Starting point is 00:17:44 Dancing leads to alcohol No because kids die from drunk driving and they go, we gotta stop the dancing. Dancing leads to alcohol. No! The boys aren't dancing unless they're drunk first. Jeff Tate is here, everybody. Nobody died from drunk driving the whole time dancing was outlawed. That's a good point. Oh, that is a good point.
Starting point is 00:18:09 I'm just pointing out that when dancing was allowed, people died from drinking and driving. Then they outlawed dancing, nobody dies from drinking and driving. And then they let dancing happen again, the whole town's dead now. Yeah, because the movie ends with them just at the dance. You have no idea how many
Starting point is 00:18:25 fatalities there were because they were dancing. They don't even have a moment where it seems like they're sneaking in booze or anything. They just want to fucking dance. They want it so bad. And then they're so good. Some of the kids at the dance are like popping and locking.
Starting point is 00:18:43 How did you learn that if dancing is outlawed? It would have been great if they showed the dance and then like 20 minutes into the dance, everybody's like, oh yeah, we hate dancing. Yeah, just cut to the dance and the guys are on one side of the room, the girls on the other side of the room. They're all wishing they could go home
Starting point is 00:19:02 and there's people drinking and smoking weed out in the parking lot. No dancing. Alright, you guys. Here's the thing that Amy got roped into this. So she doesn't know about all the particulars of what's about to happen. So we're
Starting point is 00:19:17 going to try to gently talk her through everything. Thank you, Doug. I think you're going to do great. I think you're going to nail it. But the first thing you need to know is that your people or whoever said yes for you or whoever asked you, it was a direct question,
Starting point is 00:19:34 right? One person from this festival said, will you do this thing? And I told her, I was like, tell her to bring something for the prize bag. And these are the first time you're hearing those words, right? Prize bag? Yeah. So what did you bring? I brought
Starting point is 00:19:50 Bridesmaids. DVD. That is so nice of Jesse to give up half of his prize contribution. He's such a good boy. And I know you're not in Bridesmaids,
Starting point is 00:20:09 but you're probably a fan, right? Yeah. Sure, it's a great movie. So why don't you sign it? So we'll get an Amy Smart signed copy of Bridesmaids. That'll be a one-of-a-kind item. That is true. Unless you go nuts and just show up at Walmart and start signing away.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Do you think I should open the package? I think so, because I think they sign better that way. I think that's a good way to go. Sign it on the cellophane so they can't open it. It's a collectible. Don't touch it. Enjoy not watching this
Starting point is 00:20:42 if you want to preserve my signature. Wait, I thought of this joke a minute ago. It's always a Bridesmaids DVD. Never the Bride on DVD. Right? That's the movie, right? The Bride with Sting and Jennifer Beals. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:00 See? You guys were wrong. That was a great joke. You fucked up. Clancy Brown as the monster. Can I ask a real just a quick... Please, yeah. Whatever you got. Why are the house lights still on? Oh, they might have turned them up for the, when I said, can I see the name tags?
Starting point is 00:21:17 Or they just like to leave them up. I don't know which way that... Oh. Now I'm in the shadows. And very comfortable. Thank you guys also for being here tonight because you could be watching Wayne's World outside by the water for free.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Yeah, there's a couple people disappointed. If you hurry, you can catch the part where there's some sort of inevitable conclusion that doesn't really matter. It's just a fun movie. But you get lots of choices here of things to do, and so we appreciate you coming out. Jeff, what do you have for the prize bag?
Starting point is 00:22:01 Oh, I got all my stuff. You brought all your stuff? No, I brought my three things. It looks like it's full of, like, laundry. No. Well, it's because it's a laundry bag. I got my hat that says, make Jeff Tate again. That's my slogan.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Would you mind if I made, uh, make, uh, bake America, or... Not at all, Doug. Do whatever you think is fake bake America again I screwed it up make America baked again yeah something like that yeah I won't do it you can what else you got there in your armpit I am a shirt that's like no I know this one it's uh hang on no I know it's big the guys that made them was like i have a couple left you could just have them and there were there was like two triple extra

Starting point is 00:23:19 Jesse, what do you got? Well, uh, today is Norman Lear's birthday. Uh, there's a documentary about him. How old is he now? 94, I think. I think he's up there, yeah. Yeah. Still wearing that same hat, though.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Yeah. He committed to that hat like 40 years ago. Yeah. It's the hat's birthday today, too, so doubly special. And I brought his autobiography. Even this I get to experience. So if you see the movie on Friday and think, Oh, I want to hear more
Starting point is 00:23:46 about the night they raided Minsky's, or oh, I'd like to hear more about Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. Here's where you go. There's no 20-year-old on this planet other than you that's talking about Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. You're a very special young man. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Thank you for bringing that. Here, Jeff, can you pass all the prizes down to me to put in the bag? I did already. I'm like holding them in my hand. Jeff, when are you going to give me the prizes? I need you to pass them to me.

I thought they finally made a movie of cats um but that sounds i'm sure like that's the thing is i i appreciate that you're going into it like you know what it's about and it sounds like it's gonna be very heavy but there there really are some uh movies here that can change your life i saw a movie today about a female all-lady basketball team, and now I've decided I'm going to become a lady basketball player. It's called The Pistol Shrimps, if you get a chance to check that out. What about you, Jesse? I know you've got a big answer loaded up. Yeah, well, I recently saw Women Who Kill.

Starting point is 00:29:34 First time on the big screen, though. Right, that's neat. That's very neat. And you could sit there and, did you annoy everyone around you? That was the first time they did rack focus! That sort of thing. Well, I tortured Sam, I promise. That was a terrible impression of your voice, but you know everyone around you? That was the first time they did rack focus! That sort of thing. Well, I tortured Sam. That was a terrible impression of your voice,
Starting point is 00:29:47 but you know what I mean. It's totally okay. But it was so old, it's probably all cards. This is the first time they ever used a car in a movie. Jesse knows everything about fucking movies. There's a ton of firsts in Citizen Kane, for sure, because he did a lot of really interesting things. Or maybe a lot of firsts for, like, you know,
Starting point is 00:30:05 he maybe stole it from somewhere else, but first in the American, you know, a movie made in the good old U.S. of A. Although, we started movies. I learned that the other day. Michael Moore taught me that it's the biggest and best homegrown
Starting point is 00:30:21 industry that America has. Cinema. Cinema. Yeah. Yeah, a French word. What are you looking forward to seeing, Jesse? Pistol Strimps. I'm going to see that

Starting point is 00:30:43 Right? That's their slogan. Yeah. just everything here really seems great. Just great movies. Right? That's their slogan. Jesse's like a brand ambassador for them. Let's open it up to the floor for a second. Someone, raise your hand if you've seen a bad movie at this festival. Like a movie you hated. Right? Ever?
Starting point is 00:31:02 At this festival ever, not just this year, because it's only the second day. I mean, I have too. I didn't like that thing about the pigeon on the windowsill or whatever it was called last year. It was fucking creepy as hell. But I get why people like it, because it was fucking creepy as hell. I was just like, no thank you. Oh, I walked out of Creep two years ago.
Starting point is 00:31:23 Right, but we talked about that. It was at midnight, and it has a lot of scenes where Mark Duplass just jumps out at you. Yeah, it left, I walked out of Creep two years ago. Right, but that, we talked about that. It was at midnight, and it has a lot of scenes where Mark Duplass just jumps out at you. Yeah, it's very startling. It's very startling. It's like too late to be startled. This is what that movie is. Hey! And the other guy in the movie's like,
Starting point is 00:31:37 what? And then everyone in the audience is like, hey, holy shit! It was like one in the morning, I was stoned. I was like, this is not what I need right now I get it you can make a movie for a nickel but stop scaring me
Starting point is 00:31:52 and I think we had to get up and do the 9.30am comedy panel the next day so that might have been another reason why you bailed on it
Starting point is 00:32:01 yeah I didn't want to tell you I was leaving because it was too scary. I got an early day, Doug. Will you walk me back to the hotel real quick? No. Unrelated.
Starting point is 00:32:16 I eventually saw the whole thing, but I left eventually that night, too, because I was tired of every time they went, hey, I'd get woken up. So I was like, I gotta see this under better circumstances. So I watched it in my lap
Starting point is 00:32:30 on Netflix as soon as it came out. But it's a fun movie. Creep, if you haven't seen it. Oh, so you raised your hand about you saw one you hated. What's the one you hated? You're the guy that got up here
Starting point is 00:32:43 one time, right? You're the guy that replaced Oner Tuchel when he was drunk. What's the one you hated? You're the guy that got up here one time, right? You're the guy that replaced Owner Tuchel when he was drunk. So Amy, if you get too drunk tonight, this guy's ready to take your place on stage. Do you want me to come up and take my place right now?
Starting point is 00:32:59 You gotta get drunk first. What are you drinking? Water? Yeah, there you go. You have to stay. No. I get drunk first. What are you drinking? Water? Water. Yeah, there you go. Can I have some drink? You have to stay. No. Several years ago,
Starting point is 00:33:11 a movie called Helen and Joy, and it was... Seven years ago? You have to go back seven years of Traverse City? You come every year? Actually, that was probably
Starting point is 00:33:18 like eight or nine years ago. Eight or nine years ago, out of a festival that's existed 12 years, you had one movie that you didn't care for. Called what again? Helen and Joy.
Starting point is 00:33:28 Helen and Joy? Helen. Helen? Yeah. And Joy. Yeah. Okay. It was not joyful.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Not joyful. Was it Helen? Jesse and I racing to that joke. It must have been really bad, though. Like, for him to remember nine years later the time... I can't remember the name of the movie I saw at three o'clock today. I can't remember the name
Starting point is 00:33:52 of the pigeon stood still on the window while somebody ate a sandwich. I can't remember. It was like something about wondering about their existence, right? You know what I'm talking about. See, he says the whole thing right there. Pigeon sat on a branch reflecting on existence. And guess what?
Starting point is 00:34:08 There's not a fucking pigeon in that movie. There's not a branch in that movie. But if you want to see an innocent monkey get shocked and tortured, check it out. Oh, wait, I do want to see that. I don't want to watch fucking pigeons do shit, but if they're fucking with monkeys, I'm in. It's a really weird movie. Like, every scene in the movie just takes place from, like, one angle
Starting point is 00:34:31 and they just sort of act out the whole scene and then it goes to the next scene and most of the scenes are just make no sense whatsoever. Also, it's Scandinavian. Oh, I had to throw that in there. Now it's the part of the show where I say, let the games begin!
Starting point is 00:34:50 Let's begin! Amy, you will soon notice, and we can go ahead and bring the house lights up a little bit, thank you, that people brought really fun name tags because they want you to pick one and they want you to play on their behalf in our movie trivia games.

Starting point is 00:38:39 There's a faction figure of Johann Sebastian Bach on the top. There's a little sticker of me there. And then Jeff's face is over Marty McFly's face. There's a big poster of Back to the Future.
Starting point is 00:38:51 And then Doug's here right near the DeLorean. And then, I'm sorry, what's your name again? Matt. Matt. Matt's sitting over here
Starting point is 00:38:57 right in the middle of the flames cheering maniacally. So it looks really cool and I just thought it'd be fun. You're right. It is fun.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Yeah. It's just, I've never quite seen anything like it. It's like a banner but it's also got an action figure and I don't want to hold it. It just looks like if you go out
Starting point is 00:39:21 on a windy day, you have a kite on your hands. That's me. If you have a really small windy day, you have a kite on your hands. Yeah, that's me. If you have a really small pirate ship, you're going to be great. This could get you home. You're laughing like a pirate. Shiver me timbers.
Starting point is 00:39:41 It's February in Traverse City. All right, you guys. We got to play these games. Holy shit, we're running behind schedule. I'll try to explain them to you the best I can, Amy, but keep in mind that whoever wins tonight, the person they're playing for is only going to get a signed copy of Bridesmaids.
Starting point is 00:40:04 They're going to love it. They're going to be happy to have it, but it's no big deal. I'm sorry. I didn't get the memo. Oh, I wasn't trying to like... I was just saying that that's the best thing in the Prismate.
Starting point is 00:40:18 I think his stuff is pretty great. My album's pretty good. I mean, I shit on... You think your album is better than Bridesmaids? It has the same shitting on the street track as Bridesmaids. Alright, the first game
Starting point is 00:40:34 we're going to play is called Characters Welcome. And in this game, Amy, just use your microphone and answer as often as you like. I'm going to start naming characters played by a famous actor. And you can guess as often as you want. And the first contestant who guesses the right actor wins the game.
Starting point is 00:40:58 What actor has played a character named Sandra? Amy's smart. I don't think I'd try to sneak by her the names of all the characters she played. Would you recognize them? Are there characters you played that you couldn't remember the name of your character? Possibly.
Starting point is 00:41:23 Yeah, right? Because sometimes it's just a first name. Yeah. Yeah, so you couldn't remember the name of your character? Possibly. Yeah, right? I paid for them. Because sometimes it's just a first name. Yeah. Yeah. So you can't remember them all, but you definitely never played a Sandra. I don't think so. Yeah. Okay, so you're good.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Okay. Who also played Sky King Waitress? Sky King Waitress. I'll give you another one. The guy in the audience just said Jesse. I don't even know what he was hoping would happen. Who also played Nico the Goth Girl? Ally Sheedy.
Starting point is 00:42:00 This is a motion picture. Good guess. This is a motion picture where somebody played Nico the goth girl. And then she also played Dee Dee in a movie. Also a character named Megan. Is it
Starting point is 00:42:17 Amy Smart? Why do you think I would say no to you the first time and then change my mind? You don't watch if you are right. No, he's not. What about... No, he's not. What about... You never played a goth girl in anything?
Starting point is 00:42:41 What about Abby Yates? Does that help anybody? A character named Abby Yates? Does that help anybody? A character named Abby Yates? Aubrey Plaza. No. Kat Dennings. Julia Roberts. No, if you're just going to rattle off names,
Starting point is 00:42:56 I'm going to turn off your microphone. Who also played Michelle Darnell? Some of the audience knows it or sat on something. Oh, Melissa McCarthy. Melissa McCarthy. Melissa McCarthy's the correct answer.
Starting point is 00:43:11 Jesse did it. We almost pounded. I wasn't intending to pound, but you went for the pound, so I gave you the pound. I didn't count. Yeah, she played Michelle Darnell in one of her more recent movies, The Boss.
Starting point is 00:43:26 And I was going to go on to say Susan Cooper from Spy, Cece Pincus from the movie Pumpkin, and then, of course, she was Tammy in the movie Tammy. I figured worst-case scenario, if I got to Tammy, you guys would start guessing. No bridesmaids? Yeah, she was in Bridesmaids. She played Megan. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. My bad. I would not, with a gun to my head, could not tell you the names of the girls in Bridesmaids. As much as I enjoy that movie. I am dying to know what movie she was a goth girl in. Well, I'll tell you because I wrote it down.
Starting point is 00:44:06 The Life of David Gale. Starring Kevin Spacey as the titular role. Yeah, and she was Sky King Waitress in Disney's The Kid with Bruce Willis. Yeah, yeah. She's had some interesting roles and she's
Starting point is 00:44:24 great and I like her. Alright, let's had some interesting roles And she's great and I like her Alright, let's play another game But Jesse gets to go first because he won that game Let's play ABCD's Nuts It's not as horrible as it sounds, Amy It sounds like incredibly sexist things about to happen But it's just a silly name for a spelling game The Democratic National Convention Is happening as we speak but that's just a silly name for a spelling game uh the the democratic national convention is
Starting point is 00:44:47 happening uh as we speak uh so i thought it'd be fun to spell out dnc convention so we'll start with jesse so your letter is d and then we'll go to jeff and then to you amy and you just when you get when it gets to your letter and dnC convention you just have to name any movie that begins with that letter any movie at all sounds easier than it is and if you say the movie that I wrote down in advance on this piece of paper
Starting point is 00:45:15 if you match me, you win this game automatically start with you Jesse Dazed and Confused the letter is D sorry with you, Jesse. Dazed and Confused. The letter is D. Sorry. Dazed and Confused is correct. I went with DC Cab.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Yeah. Jeff? N is your letter. D-N-C Convention. The letter N. Nightcrawler. I like that movie. I went with National Treasure. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:55 C is the next letter, Amy. Any movie that begins with C. You can't say the C word because that begins with T. How about Carrie? Yes, that's a good one. They made it twice. Either one would qualify.
Starting point is 00:46:09 I went with Charlie Wilson's War. That's good. We're back to you, Jesse, with the next C. Charlie Bartlett. Oh, that's good. I went with Clear and Present Danger. Oh, Jeff, bring it home. Wait.
Starting point is 00:46:30 I'm concentrating. I'm sending the vibes to you. DNC Convention. Oh, got it. National Convention Convention. Oh. Oh. That's my answer.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Oh. Oh, yeah. The high school's my answer. Oh. Oh, yeah. The high school version of Othello. Yeah. Was Mekhi Pfeiffer in that? He was, yeah. Thank you, Jesse. I really like Mekhi Pfeiffer.
Starting point is 00:47:00 But why does the rabbit character, why does Eminem's character mention Mekhi Pfeiffer in a rap when he's buddies with a guy played by Mekhi Pfeiffer who has a different name? You can't answer that. What's happening, Jeff? I am, uh... Explaining? Yeah, I mean, yeah, I guess explaining, yeah, I mean Sorry. No, that's all good
Starting point is 00:47:28 I went for the letter O, I went with Olympus has fallen. Yeah, shit Yeah, I knew it Yeah, so we're back to you Amy, we just need an N an N word The title that begins with the letter N Just start to say like
Starting point is 00:47:53 Never ending story What? Never ending story I like it It's probably the never ending story But I'll take it Can you take it? Thanks
Starting point is 00:48:01 Just take it I'll take it I went with National Treasure Book of Secrets. V is the next letter, Jesse. Taken. V? Oh, V. My bad, my bad. Sorry, sorry, sorry. V for vendetta.
Starting point is 00:48:21 I thought you said T. My bad. Sorry. It's okay. Sometimes it feels like kind of a contvention. I went with... Cont doesn't mean anything, you guys. You don't have to read anything into it. Philosopher. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:38 I went with Videodrome. And the reason I chose that movie, because it doesn't fit in with all the others, is because it's set in Toronto, and I'll be there doing Doug Lowe's movies on Thursday, August 4th. E is the next letter, Jeff. You got this.
Starting point is 00:48:57 I think you're going to nail it. Enter the Dragon. It's a great movie. I figured out the pattern. So that a great movie, but... I figured out the pattern, but I... Yeah, right. So that's why I went with Elvis and Nixon. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:11 Another N. You got another N, Amy. Nowhere Land? Nowhere Land? Yeah. I'll take it. Thanks. I went with Night at the Museum,
Starting point is 00:49:23 Battle of the Smithsonian. Tea, Jesse. Taken 2. Oh. I went with The Omen. Gregory Peck is the president in that, right? Alright. Alright.
Starting point is 00:49:45 I, Jeff. I know what you did last summer. To the Traverse City Music Festival. We were both here last summer. Yeah. In the line of fire. Yeah. Now, Amy has to try the letter O.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Wait, did you say Othello? No. That's been made into a movie a bunch of times. I'm saying Othello. And it's also a great board game. I went with Owning Mahoney. And again, it doesn't fit the theme. It's just...
Starting point is 00:50:26 It also takes place in Toronto, where I'll be on August 4th. And Jesse, I have great confidence in you to bring home, after DC Cab, National Treasure, and the Line of Fire, you get what's happening here. Give me that final N for the win.
Starting point is 00:50:43 I'm sorry, Nowhere Boy? Oh, can I guess? Yeah. Is it just Nixon? Yes. Yep, straight up Nixon. So nobody won, so let's just call it a night. Alright,
Starting point is 00:51:02 divvy up that bag, everybody. No, we got time for more game action You guys good? Is everybody good? We're going to play Whose tagline is it anyway? And this is a fun game because I'm going to say to you Jesse You'll start us off and then we'll go to
Starting point is 00:51:21 Amy and then to Jeff I'm going to say to Jesse A tagline from a motion picture. That's the line on the poster or something the ads say. And Jesse gets to guess first. If he can't get it, he'll move over to you, Amy. What movie has the tagline, Prepare to be liberated?
Starting point is 00:51:45 A Bridge too far? No. Sounds about right. Good guess, though. Amy? Independence Day. Yeah. Another great guess, but no.
Starting point is 00:52:06 I like how confident you were. Jeff? Braddock, missing in action. It's a film that I'm very excited to see again here at this festival. The festival's founder, Michael Moore, directed it. It's called Where to Invade Next. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:32 There was a chance he was going to be a guest tonight, so I was going to try to slip that by him. Jesse, we'll start with you for the next one. It takes a hero to know what's worth winning. Rudy? It takes a hero to know what's worth winning. Rudy. I honestly had to look at it. No. Remember the Titans?
Starting point is 00:53:04 That's a great guess. It's not correct. Damn. Jeff. Is it Varsity Blues? That is correct. You did not. Yeah, do you want to come up here? Did you know it too?
Starting point is 00:53:35 No, he didn't know it. But I guess it doesn't matter because Jeff took it down. How'd you like being in that? That movie's like a real cult classic, Amy. Yeah, it was great. It was fun to be in. Yeah? Everybody's, you're like, still, like, you have, like, get-togethers with all the Varsity Blues gang?
Starting point is 00:53:54 Well. Not all of them. Not all of them. They come here in the summer with you and hang out? Talk to the beak. I do, I do. Yeah? Do you ever ever say I don't want your life you ever call him up and say James I don't want your life yeah you gotta have that pause in there I don't know why you're trying to make him sound black but I don't want your creek.
Starting point is 00:54:26 But, I guess... Pacey. What? No, he just said that a lot in that show. Pacey. Yeah, he said another character's name. Yeah, that's true. Not as much as Sheriff Rick says,
Starting point is 00:54:39 Where's Carl? Alright, here's a crazy tagline. We'll start with Jesse again. A movie has a tagline, it's good. Citizen Kane. No. No. Boop, boop, boop, boop. Amy?
Starting point is 00:55:07 Really? That's the tagline? That's the tagline. It's good. Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's good. It's good. It's good. Jeff? It's good.
Starting point is 00:55:25 Uh... Fuck. For some reason, I thought she was right, and so I stopped thinking. Jeff it's good uh fuck for some reason I thought she was right that's why I stopped thinking that was a really good answer isn't that movie Dick that'd be a fun tagline
Starting point is 00:55:43 for Dick That'd be a fun tagline for dick. No, it's a movie called Road Trip. Wow. Isn't that weird that that was the tagline? It's good. Do you still talk to the guys from Road Trip? You ever call up the guy that was like... Tom Green? Yeah, you ever call up Tom Green and go, I don't want your life!
Starting point is 00:56:13 I don't want your fingers. Freddie, here's the thing. That is another, you're, you have like a, you must have a handful of movies that are just on TBS and stuff all the time. Do you ever, like, as a parlor game, just turn on the TV and then people in the room will be like, how did you know you were going to be on TV?
Starting point is 00:56:38 Oh, this is embarrassing. I also lost the remote. Is this cool, guys? Is this okay? The TV came on and I just dropped it. It's gone. You guys want to watch? I mean, it just started. All the time. All the time.
Starting point is 00:56:56 I'm sorry. I just don't get, you know, people who have been in a ton of movies on the show that much. So when I do, I see if I can sneak some stuff. I've seen Outside Providence 40 times, and I've never seen Citizen Kane. That's the first thing Jeff said to me
Starting point is 00:57:13 when I said that you were going to be on, Amy, is he's like, I can't wait to ask her about Outside Providence. Do you get a lot of that? I do, actually. People love Outside Providence? Yeah, they do. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:57:24 It's not that crazy. It's a good movie. I like the movie. That guy gets the letter and then the principal goes, you got a letter from drugs? And he goes, Delaney? And the guy goes, do you know a lot of people named drugs? It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:57:40 It's a good movie. You guys check it out. Outside Providence. It's a Farrelly Brothers movie, but with no shit jokes. Very rare. That's one way to describe it. All right. Jesse, we're back to you. He was dead,
Starting point is 00:57:59 but he got better. The passion of the Christ. Hey, Amy, can we get you, like, a beer or something? Yes, please. Do you have a kind that you like? No. Okay. Just somebody bring Amy a random beer. Just a random beer would be great.
Starting point is 00:58:41 Yeah, that'd be awesome. What do you think, Amy? It's not what Jesse said. Say that again? He was dead, but he got better. Dead awake? Is that something you're in? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:00 That seems to fit perfectly, but that's not it. That's not the answer. Jeff? Um. That seems to fit perfectly, but that's not it. That's not the answer. Jeff? Are you just talking about that guy on Justified that got shot and she thought it was her, but then it turned out to be him? Like, is it from a movie? Way to work that in.
Starting point is 00:59:20 Wow. The chief, the marshal chief, the number one example of why you shouldn't follow people on Twitter. If you like them on a show. Boy, that guy's a maniac. Oh, there you go. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Let's hear it for beer. She's drinking a beer, you guys. It's about to get crazy. Woo. Did you guess something? It really got crazy it's all excited right now they did run it out here
Starting point is 00:59:53 so that's why it's overflowing Jeff do you have a guess? I was going to say oh you were saying justified season 5 he was dead but he got better That's the tagline from Crank High Voltage
Starting point is 01:00:10 And another Amy Smart classic I'm just waiting for you to do the tagline For Scotland PA It's going to be great Wow Wow I'm up here with a bunch of nerds for Scotland PA. It's going to be great. Wow. Hey. Wow, I'm up here with a bunch of nerds.
Starting point is 01:00:32 I like that one a lot. It was a fun film. Macbeth. Based on Macbeth. Yeah, I watched it in school. Wow, really? Yeah. My teacher was kind of weird.
Starting point is 01:00:45 Good taste, though. Very good taste. Did you, like... When you think of the movies based on Macbeth, you know, it's like, Curacao, I made one. Lawrence Olivier, eh, here's one by Billy Morissette. All right, cool. That's pretty cool. Wow. Yeah, dude, I. Here's one by Billy Morissette. Alright, cool. That's pretty cool. Wow. Yeah, dude, I understood two words in that sentence. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:09 That was a tough one to follow, but... It was when he went, here you go, and I was like, oh, I got that. He's accepting something. Alright, let's do one more. Jesse? Yeah?
Starting point is 01:01:26 He loves her. She loves him not. Oh, God. Jeff is so excited. You were going to win today, buddy. I don't think this one's going to get to you, Jeff. I know. You got anything, Jesse?
Starting point is 01:01:46 She loves a nut. I'm going to say... I don't know. Sorry, pass. Lolita the musical? I don't know. Lolita? Sorry.
Starting point is 01:01:59 Lolita would fit, I think, kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Amy? Just friends? That's correct. You knew it. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:12 Preston and Steve, those Philadelphia radio guys, photoshopped my face onto that poster a lot. I apparently look like a fat Ryan Reynolds. You mean Fryan Reynolds? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:29 I look like the flashback scenes in Just Friends. Well, when I was younger. Not right now, no. Yeah, not now. Like six months. You're between fat Ryan Reynolds and thin Ryan Reynolds now. Yeah, yeah. I'm like trying to get that fat suit off. Yeah, not now. Like six months. You're between fat Ryan Reynolds and thin Ryan Reynolds now. Yeah, yeah. I'm like trying to get that fat suit off.
Starting point is 01:02:48 Yeah. You're doing great. I do ski in jeans. Which is a joke from that movie. You guys don't like movies? What are you doing here? That movie... That's one of those movies that if it's on cable and I land on it,
Starting point is 01:03:04 especially, you know, HBO style cable where they don't cut anything out, I'll just watch it every time. It's one of my favorite comedies ever. Yeah, I love it. Come on, just friends, you guys. I mean, it's a shame that Ryan Reynolds didn't really go on to do anything. Or just get fatter. Like, just get fatter, dude.
Starting point is 01:03:30 And then I could just look like Ryan Reynolds. Maybe this is a leading question, Amy, but who's your favorite on-screen romance man? Who'd you like the most? I think... Well... Jeff has a guess. It's gotta be Timothy
Starting point is 01:03:55 Oliphant. Well, yeah. Yeah, he's very handsome. We love him. He's very handsome. Solid. Also, he's got a sweet weed. On it. He's got a fucking lantern jaw. He's got handsome. Jawline's solid. Also, he's got a sweet weed on it. Yeah. Lantern. He's got a fucking lantern jaw. He's got a great hat on that show.
Starting point is 01:04:09 Wow, you're really into Timothy Ola fan. I'm a Timothy Ola fan. He was in the movie Go, and Melissa McCarthy was in it briefly, and her character was named Sandra. That's where that was from earlier. Yeah. All right, so we're going to call from earlier. Yeah. Alright, so we're going to call Jeff the winner of that game
Starting point is 01:04:27 and we're going to play one more game. Is that cool? We're doing alright on time. You're going to love this, Amy, because in this next game, Jen Monji, the person who you picked, is going to be your lifeline. And you can go...
Starting point is 01:04:48 I'm going to be Jen. If you need help with an answer, you can go to Jen Manji once. Okay. Yeah. And Jeff can go to... It's over there somewhere. No, right there. Right there.
Starting point is 01:05:02 That lady. Mary Ann. Mary Ann Henderson. The name tag's on the crown right next to you. Yeah, behind me. Right there. That lady. Marianne. Marianne Henderson. The name tag's on the crown right next to you. Yeah, behind me. Behind me. All right. So her name's Marianne?
Starting point is 01:05:12 Marianne Henderson. Okay. And Jesse, you can go to Bach. Yeah. Yeah. We got this. You think you'd be of help to him? He hopes so.
Starting point is 01:05:24 He's sitting real casual A few people wrote to me on Twitter today Saying I've got the perfect name for Last Man Stanton And so that's what we're going to play Is a little Last Man Stanton In this game Amy I'll tell her Jesse. Don't worry about it.
Starting point is 01:05:47 He's trying to help her out. He's quite the gentleman. In this game, we're going to get someone in the audience who I've pre-selected is going to tell us the name of an actor or actress. I'm hoping for an actress because that's the sort of women is the theme of this festival this year. And thanks
Starting point is 01:06:03 again to Amy for being a woman on this stage. Happy to represent. Yeah, because if you weren't here, I just would have got Jesse's brother Sam to come up here, and it would have been all dudes. But so we're going to take turns naming movies that this person, man or woman, has been in. If you can't think of one, you're out,
Starting point is 01:06:23 but you do get one lifeline. And I like to play out long on this one. That's why I don't know what the name is going to be yet. Is there somebody in the audience tonight named Dirty Vicar? Yeah, right here. Well, that's you. Oh, my God, such a super fan.
Starting point is 01:06:40 And I thought your name looked familiar, Dirty Vicar, but I wasn't sure. But what do you got in mind for us tonight? Liam Neeson. Liam Neeson. When you heard me say, I hope it's a woman, you just went, you know what? Liam Neeson is such a great name that I'm just going to plow ahead and say Liam Neeson. Liam is male backwards.
Starting point is 01:07:07 I just realized that. It's the word male, but backwards. Yeah, like male. Like mailman. Do you know why he's called that? Nope. Because he always delivers. Especially if the package you're waiting for is death. All right, so who do we say we're starting with? Jeff.
Starting point is 01:07:34 Jeff, we'll start with you, and then we're coming to you, Amy. So you have to think of a Liam Neeson movie. And he's made a few. He's made a few movies. Do you know who Liam Neeson is? Yes, I do. She knows who he is. Taken.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Shit. Well, it's not that bad, because you could say any movie that's got Liam Neeson in it. You just have to make sure you say the title right. Yeah, I know. So, so far we've got Taken. Taken 2.
Starting point is 01:08:12 Yeah! Jesse? Taken 3. Did you just do a Liam Neeson voice? I did. It's my very particular set of skills, Doc. I'm going to hunt down your family and I'm going to explain Godard to them.
Starting point is 01:08:40 Well, you see, he started in 1960 with Bredesen. I'm going to go with a movie of his that I saw recently that it's one of my favorite Liam Neeson movies ever run all night it's really good you guys have seen it Jeff Non-stop. Schindler's List. I almost said, who did he play in that? But I thought better of it, because it's not the kind of movie you want to make jokes about. Jesse, I apologize to you in advance that there has not yet been a Schindler's List 2
Starting point is 01:09:29 so you're gonna have to I'd like to follow up on Schindler's see what he's up to there's also Schindler's Fist where he's trying to find his oh no did you say Schindler's Fist where he's trying to find his daughter. Oh, no! Did you say Schindler's Fist?
Starting point is 01:09:50 You motherfucker! But then he said he's trying to find his daughter. I don't think he meant it sexually, Jeff. No, no, no. He meant like Schindler's an action hero. Yeah, no, I know, but... He's not a person that puts his entire fist inside of a willing or unwilling
Starting point is 01:10:07 individual. He's so perfectly earnest and accidentally like, that was crazy dirty. But he didn't... He wasn't going for it. There's one person on the planet who can say Schindler's Fist and not mean it the way everyone thought you meant it.
Starting point is 01:10:23 Your fucking parents didn't think you meant that. I don't know. The Pasternak's are pretty cool. Yeah, it's true. Yeah, who knows what they thought. All right, so that's what you're going with. Oh, no, wait. Can I say something?
Starting point is 01:10:39 Yeah, your turn. A million ways to die in the West. Mm-hmm. That's true. Boy, the right answers really bring the room to a halt. Jesus, guys. I was watching that movie, and what's his name? Doogie Howser showed up, and I was like,
Starting point is 01:11:03 a million ways to die in a vest. All right, so we're still on Liam Neeson. Liam Neeson. I'll go with The Grey. Yeah. That's a movie where right when he's about to fight wolves, they cut to the end credits.
Starting point is 01:11:27 And you go, I paid to see wolf fighting. What the fuck? Jeff? Don't forget you have a lifeline. No, I know. Before you say something youeline. No, I know. Before you say something you regret. Oh, too late. I've said a lot of things.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Hang on. No, a walk among the tombstones. A walk among the tombstones. Yeah, you pulled that one out. Yeah, it was confusing. Good job. Difficult. Amy, you want to use your lifeline?
Starting point is 01:12:15 Love Actually? Yes! Apologies for assuming you were tapping out. You pulled a love, actually. That's a great one. Those scenes with him and that little kid are my least favorite part of that movie. Little kid thinks he can have a romance
Starting point is 01:12:35 with an adult woman. It's ridiculous. Jesse? Star Wars Episode I, The Phantom Menace. Yeah. Full title and everything. I'm going to write down Epi 1, though, because I'm lazy. I'm going to go with Kinsey.
Starting point is 01:13:01 About a professor from Indiana University. Enough with the sex jokes, Jesse. Yeah, where would Schindler's Fist rate on the Kinsey scale? That's the smartest joke I've ever made. Did I do it right? Yeah. I've only heard of the Kinsey scale.
Starting point is 01:13:28 I don't really know what it means. Just hoping it worked. Is it my turn? Okay. Okay. I'm going to say the Deadpool. What? Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:45 Dirty Harry movie. Yeah. I'm going to say Lifeline. All right. Where's your Lifeline at? Where's Jen at? The Lego movie. Jen, do you have one?
Starting point is 01:13:56 The Lego movie. The Lego movie? Yeah. That's what you want to say? Yeah. Do you agree with that, Amy? Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
Starting point is 01:14:05 He's a voice in a Lego movie. So standing. He plays good cop, bad cop. And it's very entertaining. I'm going to go with a less entertaining. Wait, isn't Jesse still in? Yeah. But you're mine first.
Starting point is 01:14:29 I... Is it Jesse still in? Yeah. But you're mine first. See if you want it. Go, Jesse. Batman Begins. Okay. Now I'm going to go with... Nell. What? Yeah. What?
Starting point is 01:14:56 Nell with Jodie Foster. No. Going full R. Yeah, yeah, chickabee Chickabee Chickabee That's the word she says a lot, right? That's the only word the wolves knew
Starting point is 01:15:13 So she learned how to say it Chickabee Wolves know how to say chickabee? Apparently, she could only say one word When she got found Do you think that's what Liam Neeson says to the wolves When the credits start to roll in the gray? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:28 That's why he doesn't kill all those wolves in the gray, because he thinks they're the ones. He keeps trying to get them closer, like, where's Nell? Where'd she go? She ran away. I want to find her. She has an amazing recipe for homemade pudding. I can't quite recreate it.
Starting point is 01:15:44 I only know about Nell from Norm Macdonald's Weekend Update jokes from when I was in high school. I've't quite recreate it. I only know about Nell from Norm MacDonald's Weekend Update jokes from when I was in high school. I've never seen the movie. However, I will say a Liam Neeson movie called Rob Roy. Rob Roy. Yeah. Great movie. Great drink. Rob
Starting point is 01:16:01 Roy. Rob Roy. That better not be one of those ones where he's not in it and you slipped it by me. No, he's in it for sure. Tim Roth is in it too? I don't, yeah. Yeah, yeah, Tim Roth, for sure.
Starting point is 01:16:18 No, wait. Jessica Lange. Liam Neeson did it, right? All right, yeah, all right. I don't know nothing about this Tim Roth settle down you guys there's other actors in it with him right Rob Roy
Starting point is 01:16:34 a solo performance so Amy you used your lifeline already so you might be in a pickle a little pickle he's in a pickle. Just kidding. Maybe a sequel to one of the movies we've already
Starting point is 01:16:50 mentioned? Might work. Yeah, I think so. Or... You never worked with him? Star Wars. You never worked with him? I didn't. I would love to work with him. For reals? For reals. Alright. How do you feel about getting kidnapped in a movie? We'll put it out there.
Starting point is 01:17:11 I'll get taken. Yeah. One of the great victim roles. Being related to Liam Neeson in a taken movie. Another Star Wars? I wish there was one called that Me too
Starting point is 01:17:29 Star Wars 1, Star Wars 2 Another Star Wars Star Wars 3, another Star Wars And then Force Awakens should have been called Star Wars is back Is it? New and improved Star Wars. I'll let you have it.
Starting point is 01:17:47 No. No. Did you give her one, Jeff? No. I gave her three and she won't say any of them. He's got three. He can afford it. Satisfaction.
Starting point is 01:18:02 With Julia Roberts. And Justine Bateman. You said that like a total creep. You said that like you were about to go, Hey! Hey! Hey! I'm a creep! Hey! Jesse, you still haven't used your Bach.
Starting point is 01:18:23 I don't want to. Yep, I've got a couple more, though. Okay. No disrespect to you. I'm sure you know. I hope the one you say will help me, because I'm running out. The Dark Knight Rises. Okay.
Starting point is 01:18:35 I told you I was a mortal, Bruce. Did you just say a line he says in the movie? Yeah. What is it again? I told you I was a mortal, Bruce. Oh, okay. Was that what? Let's say it with the regular voice. I told you I was immortal Bruce. Oh, okay. Was that what? Just say it with the regular voice.
Starting point is 01:18:46 I told you I was immortal Bruce. It's a reference to the fact that in the comics his character's immortal, but in the movie he's not immortal. Oh, yeah, I just didn't understand you. I don't care. I also think it's hilarious that Batman's real name is Bruce. Like, Bruce works in HR, but somehow he's Batman in the Batman universe.
Starting point is 01:19:10 Told you I was immortal, Bruce. I'm trying to think of the one. Don't say audience if you know it, but there's a movie where Liam Neeson is Diane Keaton's boyfriend and her kid sees his naked penis and asks him about it and he tells him the story. Something about like,
Starting point is 01:19:37 this penis has a certain set of skills. And then it's fairly innocent, but it's still just this guy that's just dating the mom, showing off his penis to a little kid and the rest of the movie is just about a court trial or whatever he gets in a lot of trouble over that
Starting point is 01:19:58 misunderstanding did you show that child your penis? yes I did. But, you know, you can't. There's no arguing that. I can't think of what it's called. So I'm going to tap out in the interest of time.
Starting point is 01:20:16 Because Jeff's still got more. Lifeline. What? You were lying when you said you had three more? All you had was satisfaction? No, I have a couple more. Oh, you just want to use your Lifeline before they tap out. That's a smart play. Good work.
Starting point is 01:20:34 I'm sorry? What? Krull? Krull? Yeah, all right. K-R-U-L-L? Yeah. Krull?
Starting point is 01:20:41 Yeah. All right. Yeah. I mean, I know that's a movie, but I didn't know he was in it. Well, it's a movie that stars Liam Neeson. All right. Well, the corrections department is going to be really annoyed if he's not in it. Amy?
Starting point is 01:20:56 I'm tapped out. You're all done? I'm all done. You did great, though. Thank you. You're welcome. Jesse? Jesse.
Starting point is 01:21:04 Clash of the Titans. Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Jeff? Oh, you're out? That's what I said a little while ago. Yeah, no, I know. There's a lot going on up here.
Starting point is 01:21:17 It's really complicated. There's a blue light over there. It looks like a train is headed towards us. It's very scary. No, I had one, and then the whole thing... Oh, they just drop out, don't they? Yeah. It's no big deal getting beaten by a 20-year-old.
Starting point is 01:21:43 You're used to it. Alright, I'm gonna... God damn it. No, hang on. You didn't recognize the one I was describing? It's the fucking... The K-19 Widowmaker. Yeah, he's in that one.
Starting point is 01:21:58 What's it called again? K-19 Widowmaker. What's it called again? K-19 The Widowmaker. That's it called again? K-19 The Widowmaker. That's correct. Directed by a woman. A woman. The only one to win the Best Picture, Best Director Oscar, Catherine Bigelow.
Starting point is 01:22:19 Jesse? Lifeline? Excalibur. Excalibur, he says. Do you agree with that? I do, yeah. All right, Excalibur Excalibur he says Do you agree with that? I do yeah Alright Excalibur Again I'm taking your word for it
Starting point is 01:22:29 Yeah okay He doesn't play the title character That's a sword I've got a certain set of swords They could be yours For four easy payments. What else, Jeff? Star Wars Episode III, Revenge of the Sith.
Starting point is 01:22:59 Right? Yep. That's right. Yep. Yeah, I just was worried I'd mess up the title. That's why I didn't try for it I would just wait because also
Starting point is 01:23:06 you know it's hard to remember which ones like if he's in all anyway Jesse especially those first three
Starting point is 01:23:15 because they all suck if you only hear his voice does it count yeah oh Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones there you go
Starting point is 01:23:24 that's what I was worried about I didn't know if you heard him or saw him in that one at all yeah Jeff Does it count? Yeah. Oh, Star Wars Episode II, Attack of the Clones. There you go. That's what I was worried about. I didn't know if you heard him or saw him in that one at all. Yeah. Jeff. Or a motherfucker. What if you only see him, but you don't hear his voice? Does that count?
Starting point is 01:23:39 Yes. Star Wars Episode VI, Return of the Jedi. The re-release has him digitally asserted at the end with the young Anakin. I refuse to accept that. Why? The re-release? Yeah, yeah. There's the remastered version that has a... Right, that was like for home video or whatever, right? DVD?
Starting point is 01:24:04 It was in the theater. I was the one who went. I'm the sucker. Do you have another one, Jesse? Did I already say Gangs of New York? No. Gangs of New York.
Starting point is 01:24:21 Back to you, Jeff. Smarty pants. What else was he added into later? Which one of those fucking super boring Merchant Ivory movies was he in? Is it the one with the staircase or the one with the lake?
Starting point is 01:24:50 I don't know, man. I'm still trying to think of that Diane Keaton movie. What happens in that one? He shows his penis. Okay. Is it Howard's End? Is that the one he's in? That's not the one where he shows his penis. Okay. Is it Howard's End? Is that the one he's in?
Starting point is 01:25:08 That's not the one where he shows his penis. That's the one where he shows his butt. Yeah, he shows his butt in Howard's End. I win. So you're just guessing Howard's End? Yeah. Okay. I think it's wrong.
Starting point is 01:25:24 It probably is. I'm totally fine with it being done. Yeah. Does. I think it's wrong. It probably is. I'm totally fine with it being done. Yeah. Does Jesse have another one? Really just rub it in? Normally I wouldn't do that to Jeff even if I had one but...
Starting point is 01:25:36 Come on man, I would totally rub it in if I still had some left. See if he was in Howard's end. He's not in Howard's end. But if he is... Oh's End. He's not in Howard's End. But if he is... Oh, okay, good point. How big of a part do you think he has? Because I'm about 20 actors deep.
Starting point is 01:25:56 Was he just added to the digital remaster? Yeah, I don't see him. And no one in the audience is backing that claim up at all. No one wants a piece of that. Was it Remains of the Day? Yeah. Well, I'm not going to look and see if it's another one.
Starting point is 01:26:15 You guessed that one, and it's wrong. Jesse Pasternak is our winner! You won one, buddy. Now, Amy, here's the really sad part, because we play this game on the show all the time, and then when we all run out of answers, the audience tells us all the ones we missed, and it's embarrassing.
Starting point is 01:26:36 What did we miss? The Gnardia! Chronicles of Gnardia? Is he the voice of the lion? Yeah. A-Team.. A-Team. The A-Team. A-Team.
Starting point is 01:26:48 That's right. He's Hannibal. What? Unknown? Ted 2? Unknown. Ted 2. I thought he might be in a Ted.
Starting point is 01:27:00 The Other Man? That's what that was called? I don't know. The Good Mother is what it was called. Oh, yeah. He's been set straight already. The Good Mother. Yeah, I kept thinking of Good Wife with Jennifer Aniston.
