Doug hates candy wrappers screening baby sticky seeds with 50 ads and pop or kernels in his teeth There's still not one that he won't see Cause Doug loves movies Hey, hey, hey everybody. My name is Doug and I heart movies. This is Doug hearts movies recording on Saturday, July 6th, 2024. For your July 8th listening pleasure. My guests today are Chris Duffy, Sam Levine and Jeff Tate. Hello. Hello. Hello. Hi, everybody. Let me rephrase Chris Duffy the ghost of Sam Levine Let's meet them individually and alphabetically By Sam, you know the drill first name

It's his first time on this show. So this works out perfect that we're talking to him first He's the host of the wrong answers only podcast. It's Chris Duffy. Happy new year, Chris. Thank you so much. It's really, I'm finally getting the happy new year to issues that I've been waiting for for six, seven long months.

You know, sometimes you have to wait for it, but it makes it all the more satisfying. Oh, it was worth it. When it happens. Could you tell us? Thank you for being here and tell us About wrong answers only. Oh, yeah So it's a it's a live show that I do where three comedians try and understand what a scientist does and learn about their work So making lots of jokes and having a fun time But there's a person who's actually doing like real interesting

research that we're talking about. So the last one we did was someone who studies dark energy. And I truly still cannot tell you a single actual fact about dark energy. We had a fun time. Yeah, I could see where, you know, if you're not into dark energy, it might not be, you know, if you're not into dark energy, it might not be, you know, the info might not stick. That sounds like you are into it. Like, Doug, you're like, I'm very into dark energy, actually.

I mean, I, you know, I feel like the current sources of energy we're using are unsustainable, but there's plenty of dark energy out there. So, you know, maybe we can light up our homes with it. That's beautiful. A beautiful sentiment. You really make a lemonade, Doug. I didn't even get any lemonades and I still squeezed it out. Our next guest tends to have right answers. See, that was a segue. Welcome back.

Jeff. Hey, hello. Hi, everybody. I saw you appreciating actual F on your socials, which probably led to a little bit of debate because people don't people seem to be, you know, for it against it, but I liked it too. I thought it was great. Like, I don't know what, uh, what you would want from a movie sequel 40 years later, but it nailed it.

Yeah. I think it's, you know, I think it hit all the nostalgia buttons, but also that someone, uh, coming new to it, but also still enjoy it because part of what's nostalgic about it is how just well it all worked the first time like having these crazy car chases set to silly pop songs. The first time around was like it was a little jarring but it was like kind of pretty cool and obviously that goddamn actual f theme song by Harold Falter Meyer was like when that movie came out. That song was on the radio like it was you know, they treated it like it was a song like you just hear a track of just

bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum like it was so weird how popular it was and now all this time later. It's like, you know what you just stick that in a movie with Eddie Murphy running around. It's hard to miss unless you're called Beverly Hills Cop 3. So it's incredible. I would love to hear that song on the radio. And you mentioned I saw you mentioned on your socials the same thing that I noticed, too. Like when they put Rosewood a tagger together, finally, God damn, that was just what I always wanted, apparently. Yeah, it's a shame.

It's a shame that it takes as long as it does for them to get them together. But then the payoff is great. I mean, they're you know, they're both throughout the film, but I don't want to spoil anything for anybody who hasn't seen it yet. What do you think ever happened to the lady that owned the art gallery that Serge worked at? Why is it? Why do you think she's-

What? Jenny Summers, I believe her name is? Yeah. Oh, yeah. She's a Illebacher, I think was the actress's name. Oh, yes. The actress, sure. Yeah.

Her boss got killed, so I imagine the gallery shut down and she moved back to Detroit, lives with her parents. That's why surge went into real estate. And he sold guns in the third. That's right. Yeah, that's right. The third one, I don't really remember anything about, but are you so lucky? You're the luckiest person in the world. But are you so lucky you're the luckiest he does end up blowing up some shit at Magic Mountain. I remember that.

Yeah. But you know, what's it called? Pavlov's gun dealer. Checkoffs. That's what it is. Checkoffs. I went through the whole. Checkoffs that's what it is checkoffs He's drooling every time he sees the gun

Also with us today A man Who is also full of right answers? Man who is also full of right answers Damn the man Levine the machine. Oh hi, Doug. Hello Yeah, I was Not crunching some numbers, but this is what I came up with You've been on a guest. You've been a guest on this show more times than any other person. Oh, thank you. It's an honor.

And it is me. We well, that's the thing. Do you do you want to argue with that number, Jeff? No, I don't want to argue with Sam. That's for sure. I've been on enough times that I don't want to argue with Sam. Well, yeah, I'm the one that brought up that he's been on the most. He just says he says he might he might have been. But this is why I figure I figure

Between winning streaks whenever we've done shows where you come back if you win Plus just the sheer number of times that Sam has been in the same city as I am That happens more than it does with with you Jeff, although you've been on a lot of the road ones, too So if any nerd out there and apologies for calling you that But that's what you are if you If you want to look up the numbers and and and let me know because I think it'd be hard to count The number of appearances, but I think Sam would edge out Jeff, but I don't know by how much Yeah, I think Sam would edge out Jeff, but I don't know by how much yeah I think some years ago Doug we we did go down this rabbit hole and somebody did come up with the number and it was

shocking because the first appearance is back at the beginning of 2007 Yeah, pretty early on because I remember we talked about dream girls and Jennifer Hudson being nominated for an Oscar Wow And that was just you and me or did I have multiple guests at that point? I think it was just you and me and then I think the second time I came on was me and Aukerman Yeah, I think oh wow blew up. It was like a one. It was a solo guest thing at first

Then I started having it was called. I love movies and then I started having More guests until finally we settled on three to twelve depending Right, but also the with a game the Leonard Moulton game we used to play it very differently You know, yeah, it was a version you used to play with your buddies. Yeah no, it would really it really evolved with the Like the Leonard Maldon app came along and that sort of helped change the game because we were just Doing the version where you just sort of flip through a copy of one of his books, right? Well, we'll get those numbers maybe and but today one of you or Chris Duffy

maybe and but today one of you or Chris Duffy will be the victor and will be moving on to another appearance sometime soon but before we settle that before we have that rumble in the jungle I'd like to visit recommendation nation which is the segment on the show if I can dare call it a segment where I ask each one of my guests to recommend one movie and one movie only It's amazing how many people start to recommend several movies Just want one and Jeff. I'm gonna go to you first because I'm assuming it's Beverly Hills cop calling axle app Yes, it is. That's the one I would recommend. It's new it's on Netflix and it rips Now are you sad that you were not able to see it in a motion picture house?

I would have loved to see it in a theater, but yes. So, yes, I yeah, I forgot that Doug was a turn of the century. Were you upset, Jeff, that it didn't play at your nearby Nickelodeon? I was, yeah, I definitely am upset at that. You know, it's frustrating, but also, I mean, I would have been shitting my pants if, back when Beverly Hills Cop 1 opened, if I could just watch it in my home that morning and not Lift a finger spend it, you know, you're obviously paying for the streaming service But you know, I mean, it's also kind of a miracle at the same time while being terrible

It's a miracle because it was pretty cool to just watch it over 4th of July weekend It's having to go out to a you know, what what would be now be an empty movie theater or fairly empty. I, you know, I think it would have done okay business if they'd have gone the theater route, but who knows it's going to be, I think it's going to be the biggest thing on Netflix, you know, for awhile. And also, uh, there's going to be a fifth part, which brings me to this, Jeff, any ideas for the title of Beverly Hills cop five It would

Maybe just about the faux five over five will fully They keep adding a letter of fully So axle foe axle full. Oh, I see. Yes Adding a letter of Foley. So Axel Faux, Axel Faux. Oh, I see. Yes. It should be it should be Axel F, but with Ive of parentheses after that. All right. Sam's in. Sam, I like that one.

Yeah, that's good. All right, Sam, what's your movie recommendation? All right. I know I've recommended some controversial movies in the past, and today will be no different. And I hadn't thought about this movie in a while. And I came across it just a couple days ago, and I forgot what an absolute train wreck this thing is. Is the sequel. Remember?

So they tried to do Alien versus Predator and they did. It came out in 2004 and the problem was it was PG-13 and everyone was like, no, this is not an Alien movie. This is not a Predator movie. This needs to be hardcore. So they said, okay, we're going to reset the clock and in 2007 the film I am recommending is aliens versus predator colon

requiem So this is It's amazing to me how both alien and predator just keep wandering around between being about one a singular, an alien or singular predator or groups of them. Groups of them, yes. Yeah, and in this case, it's aliens versus a soul predator because you did not say the S. That is correct. It is aliens, multiple aliens, versus predator in the singular. Colon would Requiem. Who would colon fancy word?

Who would think that, uh, that the predator would have a chance? Like how can predator be multiple aliens? Well, it's a little complicated. Um, cause there's a hybrid in slash predator involved in the mix this time. Oh. Here's the thing about this movie. There's a middle ground. It's not just aliens or predator. It's also alien and predator.

Alien and predator, which was a holdover from the previous alien versus predator from old. So in the PG-13 one, they fucked? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is, honestly, it's a post credit sequence. It is the most tender lovemaking.

I would say the theater for that and a part of her. Also, the xenomorphs sexual organs, not where you think they are. Oh, no, I have. I would even venture a guess. Here's here's some some fun facts about this movie. It came out. It is so gory, by the way. It is so gory and so disgusting. It came out on Christmas Day.

Oh, hell, yeah, man. Two thousand seven. And it is not a Christmas movie. It's set in Colorado, so it's cold, but it's not a Christmas movie. And my old Dr. Face Hands pal, Steve Pasquale, is kind of the lead of the movie. So it was fun to see him in something where he was not Dr. Facehands, or the handsome dumb fireman from Rescue Me.

It's almost like they picked the release date solely off the word Requiem and not any other part of the title. They're like, that sounds kind of like a hymn. Yeah. It could be. And also Steve Pasquale's name in the movie is Dallas Howard.

So he's just missing the Bryce. Incredible. Maybe that's his unspoken middle name. I guess I should point out Bryce Dallas. Howard was absolutely unknown entity by 2007. So this was a choice. Yeah. Yeah.

Just like that'd be a good cool name for a dude. Yeah. Dallas Howard. That's it. That's my recommendation. Every time you say Dr. Facehands, I imagine the Pan's Lab or the guy got his post-graduate degree. I think, by the way, I think Dr. Facehands, that joke name, Doug, while we're talking about it I think that was originated by Paul F. Tompkins

During a Doug loves movies episode that I was on sometime in 2012 2013 when that show was being shot. Yeah, cuz the show was called do no harm do no harm Yes, yeah, but the the key art for the show was very handsome Steve Pasquale covering his own face, covering the handsome face with his own hands and then a weird, spooky version of evil Steve Pasquale on the back of his hands. Yeah. So I like mine better. Yeah, so I like mine better

Ivy I never I never caught your program Because I like doing harm but I have seen Stephen Pasquale off Broadway on Broadway and he was going to be on a Broadway cruise I went on but he cancelled. Oh yeah. He loves the stage. He's a great, he's really good. Okay Chris, you've had probably too much time to think about this.

You might have in your head changed your answer but whatever it is, please recommend one film. Oh yeah, I knew this was coming and I did a little research because I was thinking about the Olympics this summer and I was trying to find a great Olympic movie and then I remembered one of the worst movies I've ever seen that's so bad that it is incredible, which is Jim Cata, which is an entire movie that they made basically to give a starring role to Olympic gymnast Kurt Thomas. And it's basically he goes to like a Soviet country and fights people using a combination of gymnastics and karate. And all of the ways that he hurts people require there to be like a gymnastics tool around like a pommel horse or parallel bars. And it's an incorrect.

It is incredible how they take that to the farthest possible extremes. It's like a Bond movie. If Bond was an Olympic, an Olympic gymnast. Yeah it's um, um, what's the other word I'm looking for? Oh, tedious. Tedious. Absolutely. Yes, that's what's the other word I'm looking for? Oh, tedious. Tedious. Absolutely. Yes. That's the poster. It's real. Yeah. They should have called it Jim tedium because

I just remember like it needed should have been way more fun for how silly it is. It's silly. And then also everything takes too long and has a real it's been a while since I've seen it, but there's a bleakness to it, I think. Oh, there's definitely a Soviet bleakness to this film for sure. Yes. It's also talking about, you were talking about people who named characters, something where it was like, why did you make that choice? He's his name is Jonathan Capit,

and the country he goes to is Parma Stan. So there's this like weird like cheese naming theme that is like not addressed at all and has does not add anything to the film. All right. So we have one legitimate recommendation. Giant wastes of time. But definitely interesting. Interesting motion pictures from the animals of history. So thank you for that and we're gonna take a break and be back after these messages better than ever We're back and we are better than ever

Our first game today is something that I call big bang bang Yeah, you heard me You heard me Sam big bang bang big bang bang Yeah, you heard me You heard me Sam big bang bang big bang bang. Yeah in this game I will say a factoid and then you will tell me if it applies to the motion picture big or the film called bang the drum slowly or the motion picture kiss kiss bang bang or the film called bang the drum slowly or The motion picture kiss kiss bang bang

Okay, so those are your options big one bang or two bangs Chris will go first if he misses I Do I do not have a sound effect for wrong answer, so I'll just say incorrect But if he gets it right, I will hit a series of whistles and bells so Get your dogs away from the podcast If they're still shaky after the fourth of July If Chris misses will go to Jeff he gets a misses, of course, on that first round.

First question, Sam will get the gimme point. And whoever gets one right as we play the next person up goes first. On the next one, you ready, Chris? I'm ready. I've seen one and a half of these films, so that's the odds I'm giving myself. Did you see Kiss kiss or bang bang? Just kiss kiss I Got scared by the loud noises right and the kissing is fun, but the banging is unnecessary

That's what I've always said. That's what I tell my wife every night Okay, so so you've never seen bang the drum slowly, but you you know there's always process of elimination Maybe you could figure it out, but it's either big one bang or two bang Nominated for two specifically two Oscars To one of those three do you think was nominated for I? Mean some would say just to someone say two as if that's a lot and they on which one of these three do you think was nominated for? I mean, some would say just two,

some would say two as if that's a lot depending on which one of these is the right answer. Which one you think it is, Chris? Well, based on nothing but the title, Bang the Drum Slowly, that sounds prestigious to me. That sounds like an Oscar-winning film. So I think that that was nominated. I feel like Big should have been nominated for an Oscar and I don't think that it was. I feel like Big should have been nominated for an Oscar,

and I don't think that it was. I feel like comedies get a, and also especially comedies where it's a young boy in an adult's body often get robbed by the Oscars. So I'm going to say bang the drum slowly. The Oscars have really turned their back on the body switch genre. It's so true. All the way to the recent Freaky with Vince Vaughn have they ignored amazing body switch performances One of my favorites being Steve Martin pretending to be Lily Tomlin in all of me all of me yeah

But that is incorrect It is not But that is incorrect. It is not. Bang, the drum slowly was not nominated for two Oscars. Jeff, the two remaining answers, which one do you think was nominated for two Oscars? I'm going to say big. And probably mostly because of Chris really walking you through the his thoughts. The opposite of my probably helped your thoughts a little bit.

I just don't think Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was a high enough profile thing. Well, it should have been. It was sadly overlooked, but it should have been nominated in several categories in my opinion. I don't remember. Yeah. No, I agree. I don't know what was up for awards that year, but it's certainly become more appreciated over time especially for

being so i mean val kilmer was very ahead of his time in in willing to you know portray an openly gay character while being a you know a straight movie star but that being said jeff you are correct it is the motion picture big was nominated for which awards was it nominated for Sam? I'm so glad you asked. It was Hanks was nominated for best actor and I believe was also nominated for best original screenplay. That is both correct. I'm so glad you asked Sam.

Yeah, I knew Sam was sitting there in the third slot knowing what the answer was. I'm also sad to be wrong, but I'm glad the Academy got it right. Yeah. And well, in the Academy, even though De Niro is arguably a supporting role in Bang the Drum Slowly, the Academy found Vincent Gaudinha to be so good in that film that he got a best supporting actor nomination, the only nomination that that particular film received. But you're right about the heaviness. When you speak of that Chris and the prestige, the prestigiousity of bang the drum slowly. Cause it's about, it's a real life story of a pitcher

and a catcher, the catcher played by Robert De Niro and the pitcher played by Michael Moriarty who become friends. And in a real Brian song scenario, the De Niro character is dying in the film. Is there a drum or is that solely a metaphor? It's you know, it was in the 70s. So it was just a very metaphorical title. And it does come up in the film because some standard that gets played in sad situations,

I can't think which one now actually has the words bang the drum slowly in the lyric. One of those depressing funeral kind of songs so congratulations Jeff you're on the board but Sam is up first on this next one oh boy which one of those films big bang the drum slowly or kiss kiss bang bang has a character in it named Carol B baskin not based on the lady from the lion king tiger king i appreciate that uh and uh since my guess is going to be big since he's josh baskin i i have to imagine there's a character named Carol Baskin, and I'm just not remembering but I guess is that maybe Mercedes rules character And I just don't know her first name. So anyway my answer is big. Yeah

Mercedes rule in fact, oh, let me play as your graduate story Mercedes rule is his mother accredited as mrs. Baskin, but the some other actor was initially in the role. Oh, it was a Clint Clint Eastwood's girlfriend. The red haired lady, she Gonna pop into my head. What's that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Francis farmhouse and Francis Fisher. And her name was Carol Baskin in an earlier version. But for some reason, they just call her Mrs. Baskin. And I think because some of her scenes were cut from big, which makes a lot of sense because that's to me is the one.

It's not a flaw in the movie big, but it's a thing that makes you go. Imagine being a mother and your son disappears and then an adult shows up and says, I'm your son, and you chase him around with a knife and he leaves. That's her whole storyline is that he just comes back as a kid later and she's happy to see him, of course. But it's still like the trauma that that movie,

that that character puts his own mother through is pretty brutal. Oh, yeah. Yeah, they could make a really heavy like companion movie of the however long it took for him to come back. I don't know if you guys ever saw a movie called Ophelia with Keira Knightley, at least. Oh, no At least I know Daisy Ridley. It was one of them. And it was a Sundance movie I saw some years ago. And it's Hamlet, but told through Ophelia's eyes. Oh, and they also mess with the story. Anyway, we should we need that version of big is what I'm saying from Mercedes-Royal's POV and it's the most

upsetting movie you've ever seen. Oh yeah, it's like prisoners. They'll have to recast it but all they gotta do is just get anybody that's on a current edition of Mafia Wives. Yeah. Yeah. Because Mercedes-Royal rule is just like that was her Whenever I see those says I'm going Mercedes rules probably just going third. They're just imitating me

Okay So Chris, this is your big chance. Okay, this is a tie force the tie and make me do a tiebreaker But if you get it wrong, Jeff is right there to to take the win Which one of those movies big banging drums? Holy or kiss kiss bang bang includes the song frosty the snowman I want to see the snowman. Okay, uh If I am remembering correctly and so far I have not been remembering correctly at all, I think that big does not take place in the winter time. So I'm actually gonna go with the opposite

of my own intuition and say that it must be big. Wait, but also I feel like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang does take place in the winter, and Frosty the Snowman would be like a fun, ironic song to have in that movie You know what let's go with kiss kiss bang bang That is correct you find The journey was totally worth it. I guess Jeff knew the answer.

Oh, Jeff was lying in wait. Just wait. He's what we call. He's such a fan. We call him a kiss kiss bang banger. That's why, Jeff, the pressure is on you now because if you get this one right, you win. But if you don't, of course, Sam will have a shot. And if Sam misses, Chris takes it down.

So the length. Seems unlikely. Yeah, we'll see though. It's happened. The length of the film, Jeff, is one hour and 36 minutes. Which of those films am I referring to? One hour, 36 minutes which of those films am I referring to one hour? 36 minutes big

That my friend is incorrect Damn oh boy. Yeah, this is a coin flip for what it's worth I also would have said big Jeff I will say bang the drum solo that is the one in fact the other two both clock in at bigs like an hour 44, I think, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bangs at hour 43. So Bang the Drum Slowly, the most serious drama of the three is the shortest and it's from the 70s. So it's a shockingly tight runtime, the hour 36 minutes.

We used to be a proper country, Doug. We could get through a heavy drama in 96 minutes. I do feel like they should do that more. I really appreciate when you can get through a drama and it's tightly packed and there's not a lot of fat on it. I wish they made more movies like that. Yeah, it's really shocking that, you know, because it seems like part of the whole movie industry thing in making more money, and even on streaming when you want people to, you know, be watching your streamer all the time,

it's just, you know, not losing people's attention, just get them in and out, you know, quicker. And yet movies just keep getting longer, because they keep, I think that the prevailing wisdom is, well, somebody somebody's gonna go out to see a movie They want to be a long ass movie and I just know I personally never felt that way you know movies long because it's great and long okay, but We're gonna make a nice make the sequel you know this is how you get to aliens versus predator Requiem you keep it tight Keep it tight. Yeah You know I just there's so many movies where I wish that I could just you know

Hand over to someone my cut of the film and go I think you'll really enjoy this It's called it's called Larry of the Arabian. It's only 90 minutes It's already saving time. I call him Larry. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's Listen we have to take a break to drink some lemonade, but When we come back, we're gonna play the determining Game one that's gonna to decide it all. And we'll be right back. We are back.

And do you hear that train coming? Can you hear it, Sam? Yes, so it's coming around the bend because we're going to play the little search engine that could in this game. boop. In this game, I have written down a word and then popped it into the old search engine on IMDB. I did this yesterday, so it's all based on yesterday, because the search engine IMDB with its popularity index

is just a raging stream of changing opinions. It's all based on what people are typing into their IMDB. And I wrote down the top 13 movies that have this word in the title. You'll each get three guesses. We'll take turns. We're going to start with the winner of the last game, Sam, then go to Jeff and then go to Chris. But you each get three guesses and we'll go one by one and I'll tell you if your movie makes it on the list, the top 13, I'll tell you how many points is worth the higher it is on the list, the more points you get. So you want to try to guess the number one most popular movie with this word in the title, are you ready for the word?

I am ready, Doug. And that's all that matters. The other two people have stepped away. That's fine. I'm ready to. OK. I'm still here. Chris, you're in Los Angeles? That's right, yeah. What's the temp right now in LA, you think? Oh, 85.

It's hot. It's hot. Yeah, it is, but it's weird how, like, on the TV news, you know, LA news covers, like, San Bernardino and, you know, the Inland Empire, as it were, and the Valley and all that stuff. So they're really going off about the heat wave because it's, you know, over 100 degrees there. But 85 in L.A. doesn't to me doesn't feel like a heat wave. Is it is it hot in Portland, Jeff? Yeah, it's 95 right now and getting hotter. See, that's what I'm saying is there's more weird hot weather in other spots

than than here in L.A. Yes, Sam, you're probably Sam's probably you're at the beach, right? So you're just like, yeah, I'm doing this pretty nice. Yeah, right here. I'm out in Malibu today. You get that nice beach beach breeze there. And also the water is always cold. The Pacific Ocean people realize that they always just Step in there like it's gonna be hot for you know, the only reason it's hot is just cuz all the chemicals

Okay, so I've said it a few times now the word is hot. Oh the word That was placed deep in our subconscious. Really got you thinking about it. Sam, what is the number one movie, according to IMDB, that has the word hot in the title? You have 34 seconds. So many popped into my head, so I will say the very first one that popped into my head, okay Hawthorne's hot fuzz is number one

13 points for Sam, but you know what it's not over yet. In fact, it's just beginning Jeff What was by the way, I'm, I'm very happy it's number one because that movie is, you know, certainly people like it. It's, you know, it's done well over the years. Yeah. Well thought of, but it's, you know, kind of in the shadow a little bit of Sean of the Dead's mother, Ed Gryde stuff. So I'm very happy that Hot Fuzz gets its due

when you're talking about movies. Sure. The entire for now trilogy is on my. I love it. I love it. OK, Jeff. Well, this time of year, it's important to remember. My favorite line from this movie is pools are great for holding water. And it's hot rod. I fucking love that movie let me see here hot rod you say yes sir number two on the list come on well pools are great for holding water I imagine a lot of people are googling what are great for holding water.

I imagine a lot of people are Googling what's great for holding water these days and it's bringing up hot rod. I got it. That's right. I got that over too. I think pretty much anything Andy Samberg is involved with gets more popular over time. Like people sort of discover it somehow instead of it just being successful right out of the gate.

And, uh, that's a terrific example. So I can talk it, speaking of tight, I think at 80 some minutes, uh, never stopped stopping, uh, or whatever it's called is the, um, is one of the tightest comedies ever made is just consistently hilarious for the perfect amount of time. Yeah, that's my secret recommendation if you somehow have not seen Pop Star, never stop, never stopping. Never stop, never stopping. Yeah, it's, you know.

Find it and enjoy it. The trouble with a clever title is that it ends up being kinda hard to remember, but the Pop Star, I do remember. Chris, you know, there's lots of movies left on the list with Hot in the title. So hope is not lost. What's the what's your first swing at this? Well, you know, I'm inspired by Jeff's

pools are good at holding water because I feel like a movie that I bet is on the list is also good at holding water hot tub time machine I have to say just so you can you know wrap your minds around it hot isn't always The first word in the title, but obviously there are a lot of movies where it is And in the case of hot tub time machine We're talking Number four on the list. All right, okay This really is anybody's game this isn't one of those runaways like they have on Jeopardy all the time those runaways like they have on Jeopardy all the time.

This is more like family feud where the person who answers the last thing gets enough points to win the whole game. Yeah. Yeah. I love a game show like that where they just amp up the points at the end so much. It's just like, well, whoever gets this one wins and everything that preceded doesn't really matter. OK, I've also always thought of you as the white Steve Harvey. You know, it's it's not an incorrect label, but it's funny. I saw they were doing a comedy bit on B.E.T.'s the B.E.T.

Awards the other night, which are amazing awards show. It's my favorite every year because it's just the production, you know, the amount of musical numbers and the amount of production and choreography they put into all of them is pretty incredible, but they were doing a comedy bit. And somebody was somebody was talking to people in the audience about black jobs and jobs that only black people should have. And one of the ones that came up was TV Judge. And I was like, well, I guess they're right.

I guess I shouldn't have been was TV judge. And I was like, well, I guess they're right. I guess I shouldn't have been a TV judge. But then they go. But then then they did make a Judy reference. They like not acknowledge that the other is one fairly well known white judge. So, Sam, you've got 13 points and can put more on the board at this time if you've got another hot title who made the list. I mean I appreciate that you say hot isn't always the first word but

when you said it to begin with like five movies maybe six movies almost all of which by the way have been mentioned at this point were the ones that popped into my brain and And honestly, when you said hot, these were the first two movies that came into my brain. So I'm just going to go with the second one, which I can't believe hasn't been said yet. But that is hot shots. Hot shots with an exclamation point. Hot shots with an exclamation point, not part due. Because you know, we like a accurate title. Sorry, I thought I said it correctly. I'm not part do because you know, we like a accurate title. Sorry

Enthusiasm when you said it that a Exclamation would then let me say it again hot shots Hot shots is number three Eleven more points for Sam Sam people say this about him all the time, he's open 24 hours and that's how many points he has. Jeff, are you a fan of Hot Shots? Yes, of course. I do like it. I was looking back on the whole you know

Zucker Brothers and Jim Abrams kind of oeuvre hmm because of because of seeing hot shots on this list and I have to say that as much as I enjoy a lot of their work in their movies They just put too many of the jokes in airplanes, too many of the greatest jokes they could think of an airplane. And everything else to me is just sort of like, oh, this is in the style of airplane. You know, they never surpass airplane, in my opinion. Jeff, do you disagree?

I think it's I do, but it doesn't mean I don't think I'm right. That's why that's what I mean. Like, is what you're trying to say is that the movie Mafia is your favorite movie in that style? No, no, of course not. But I think I think it has to do with what which which thing are they spoofing that you're most familiar with at the time? Mm hmm. And so when I saw Naked Gun, I thought that was funnier than. Airplane, because I had never seen any of the movies that was spoofing.

Well, a naked gun did have that. funnier than an airplane because I had never seen any of the movies. They were playing with spoof. Well, and they could gone did have that. The secret better. Like I liked I liked hot shots better than. Yeah, but that was that's that's what that's my naked gun had the whole Leslie Nielsen thing for sure, and also had. You know, a lot of the style of, you know, the jokes from the, cause also the, um, the police squad TV series was just, it was pretty amazing how,

how funny it was, but people didn't, didn't like that style of comedy in a half hour, you know, a format. Oh, I just thought like, uh, I saw airplane too young. Like that was part of it is that kid, the, went to the school my dad worked at when we lived in Camarillo. And so he showed me that movie when I was like four years old or something. And sure, it's funny, but also all those people are gonna die. So I was scared. And that's that's what I remember about Airplane. Now that we're talking about, I had forgotten that I saw it way too young. And like, I think I had I think it gave me nightmares.

Well, it must have really upset you, the number of people who commit suicide because they're bored by Robert Hayes stories throughout the film. Now, that was the only relief I found was like, well, if I was older, I could at least do that and get out of this. Not so you could just set yourself on fire. OK, Jeff, you know, you're really going to need to get some points here to stay on Sam's tail. What do you got? I'm going to say some like it hot. I like it because not only was it always one of my favorite movies, but like in an amazing

reinvention, the Broadway musical managed to bring it more up to date at the same time, still use the you know, same corny premise of men dressing up as ladies to hide from the Mafia but It's number eight on the list So it is worth six points So you're still in it. You're still in it. Yeah

Don't give up on us, baby. No, never. Never. Yeah. Chris. I think I'm gonna, I'm torn because I would like to say a movie that I think is a better movie and then has the word hot in it. But I think that higher up is this one's going to be higher up is my gut is the 2002 masterpiece, the hot chick. Oh, my God. I mean, I'll tell you one thing about the hot chick. It had two actresses that I enjoy very much in it and I'm Schneider yes and no who I forget which is which one is his friend and the other one is who he becomes like he transforms into because isn't it like Anna Ferris

and Rachel McGee or yeah Rachel McAdams yep yeahams. I like both of them so much that I would dare to say out loud that that's probably my favorite Rob Schneider movie. And that is number five on the list. So high up. Nine points. Yeah. Well, your instincts were right that people remember that movie. And I swear those two actresses, especially now Rachel McAdams is just nominated for a Tony and she's always so great. So it's nice to know this wasn't the high water mark of her career. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. But, you know, I got to say, I find it fascinating also that similar tone movie The House Bunny, not only had Anna Faris being very funny in it, but also, you know,

was one of our early Emma Stone experiences. Emily, excuse me. All right. We have a very tight game here, 24 to 18 to 19. And we all know who's winning. But how many more points can he put on the board at this time? Well, I mean, I if if. I want to make sure I pronounce it properly this time if hot shots was up there, I will roll the dice with hot shots. Part D. Sam, I'm sorry that title isn't correct. There's no exclamation point in the middle. I disagree. I think there is there might be

So you gain another five points for a total of 29 points for Sam This is doable guys not for either of you, but But just for let's do this let's see if the two of you can the two answers will be enough to if you if one of you is getting all the points to to be Sam that's really that is wild because five is just just enough to get you completely out of reach. Oh, wow. Maybe maybe four would have been. But anyway, but just for fun, Jeff, what else have you got? I'm going to say this just so Sam feels dumb for not saying it.

Wet, hot America summer. Yeah, that was fine. You know, that's where Sam, when he comes through the door at Douglas movies, he puts his ego, much like his shoes on the ground right when he walks in. He tucks his ego into the toe of his shoe like he's at the beach. Yeah, he puts it in there so it doesn't get taken or mishandled. But it does not come into the situation Wet hot American summer did not make the top 13

Titles on the list is it at least like 14th or 15th dog. It's it's probably around that in that range I didn't I Didn't explore for in fact I'd say it's probably about 16 or 17. Because I honestly, I cut it off at 13 because I like it to be movies that people have heard of. And a lot of movies squeak in there. A lot of movies squeak in on the list as it goes down

to being like foreign or like extremely new or overlooked because they just went direct to some you know some service or something I mean what we used to say direct to direct a video or whatever so Chris if you got another one just to finish out your first Appearance on on this program, which I think has been entirely successful Despite not winning today.

Thank you so much. I'll take that. I really will take that as consolation. You know, Wet Hot was going to be the one that I said, but I will also say the Cheetos movie, wasn't that called, it was called Flamin' Hot, right? Oh, yeah. That's on the list because that was only last year. That's probably up there. Because that was only last year. That's probably up there. Yeah, a song from it got nominated for best song at the Oscars. And if you looked at social media during the performance, that song was just a series of what the fuck is this?

What is this song? You know, it's like a song that played over the end credits of the evil Longoria produced Flamin' Hot number 10 on the list. Oh, made it on. So worth four more points. So very respectable second place for you today. So you can technically tell people that you beat Jeff Tate. I will. And Jeff all mine because he's that he's that kind of player Yeah, don't bother me man, he leaves his ego in my other shoe Yeah, yeah Jeff Jeff plays to win but to win is to play wait what yeah, okay

Yeah, I just think it's I just have a good time man. Yeah, that's the important thing. That's the important thing So let's go down Yeah, I just think it's fine. I just have a good time man. Yep. That's the important thing. That's the important thing So let's go down the let's say one more time Sam's our winner this week Congratulations Sam and number 13 on the list Good old hot tub time machine shoe to Sneak in there. Yeah, just with one point. It probably strategically wouldn't have helped anybody. One of the funnier titles, not movies, but titles, because it's even got an ellipsis

in there with the word hot in there, is Hot Dog Ellipsis the Movie. That's incredible. That's incredible. Yeah. Yeah. They really they forwent the colon on that one. And really, it's kind of you see those three dots and you're like, what's it going to be? Oh, the movie. And Doug, what was that movie about? Is that the it? It was a movie.

It was skiing. Yeah, it was it. It was, you know, Animal House on the slopes or Porky's on the hill. Can I ask a real quick dumb question? Is Hotel Rwanda on the list? Neither that nor Hot L for Dogs made it on the list because it doesn't I think IMDB is weird that way because I have played this game where the word could be part of a word but in this case it just straight-up spat out all movies that just have hot with no you know no extra business Yeah now at number three Is a movie that has been made a couple times with the same title which I am entirely against

I'd stop it if I could I Think once one movie has the title you can't just like it's like if someone said if somebody said I'm gonna make a movie called Serendipity and people go oh remake. No, this'm gonna make a movie called serendipity and people go oh remake No, this is a completely different movie called serendipity. It's like fucking serendipity is taken. Just move on just call it coincidence or whatever Just call it Lee Daniels serendipity. Yeah do something different to it, but there's two cases of a movie called hot pursuit and One of them came in at number 11. Which one do you think it is? The most recent one.

Yeah, that's right. Has that Reese Witherspoon, I think, and Sophia. Yeah. It was Q's act in 1987. And then in 2015, those two actresses you mentioned, which, you know, I like both of them. So I endured it. But it was it's a little rough. But yeah, hot pursuit number 11.

Then, of course, Flaming Hot, Hot Shots Part II, some like it. At number seven, a surprise. And this is where sometimes things creep in that like I didn't even know this existed. Apparently, Timmy Chalamet and Mike Monroe Co-starred in something called hot summer nights Never heard of that and it's nights with an N not a K. Oh That now now I know you're talking about Yeah, yeah, it's it's a feature-length film based on that one song from that one. Oh

It's like the hurricane That's the other way around And number six happy to see it there because it was just what I needed when it came out because it started two actresses that I was definitely crushing on. And it was fun to see them in a sexy ass Don Johnson movie. Jennifer Connelly and Virginia Madsen in the hot spot. A hot spot.

Whoa. Whoa. Yeah. I think I needed to sit here for three hours before I would have remembered that movie. Yeah. I just remember the big finish was people being murdered on a big hill of sand for some reason or maybe it was gravel or maybe it was a gravel pit or something. But anyway, it definitely looked like a warm location where everything were so it's pretty accurately named As our winner I'd like you to provide us with some plugs, what would you like to promote?

I would like you to come find me on cameo for any kind of video need you may have any Video need anything Sam will do it. It's it's I'm really I I will say no to practicing I've I've only declined one cameo so far. Well, we're talking I'm like like 300 in. Yeah, that's impressive. So it's really impressive. I am not picky is what I'm saying.

Yeah. Well, you know, when they pay the five thousand dollars You know, I feel like you're kind of obligated to give them what they're asking for.
