Doug Loves Movies - Corey Ryan Forrester, Amy Miller and Jordan Morris guest

Episode Date: February 19, 2024

Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds with 50 azipop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies! Hey, hey, hey everybody. My name is Doug, and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies recording on Sunday afternoon, February 18th, 2024. And my guests today are two old bees and a new bee. They are Corey, Ryan Forrester, Amy Miller, and Jordan Morris. Hello, everybody. Happy New Year. Happy New Year, Doug. Hi, BuzzBuzz. It's me's me the new bee how do you make honey

oh no i didn't know uh you were an actual bee i it's just an expression that i use right yes uh yeah it's a fun coincidence and i'm so new i don't even know how to make honey what do you think about uh do you have opinions about the Cheerios Honey Nut Bee or the Nascent X Bee? Like, is it tough to be a bee in the media these days? Yeah, yeah. Great question. And thank you for letting me just take a moment to address bee representation issues because

it's so important. Just take a moment to address bee representation issues because it's so important. I just want my bee daughters to see themselves when they turn on various commercials. So, yeah, I will say that the Honey Nut Cheerios bee claims to be a bumblebee, but he's actually just a honeybee in bumbleface. What? Yeah, I know. It's really uh shame i hate it yeah just another thing to be upset about uh well let's let's move on to meeting everyone individually and alphabetically uh by first name she's a highly sought after podcast guest Amy Miller is there

wherever you are Amy how's it going good Doug means something very different when he calls me an old bee oh no it's an ant bee I'm good I'm in Los Angeles for once it's nice

I just realized for the first time that Aunt Bee from the Andy Griffith show, that her first name was Aunt, one bug, and her last name was Bee, another insect, Aunt Bee. That's true. Her middle name was Mantis. I can only hope that's true. He's a returning champion, ready to be knocked off his high horse. It's Corey Ryan Forrester. That's right.

I'm all the way up here, ready to be knocked off. Doug, hello, and I wanted to tell you that I took your recommendation. I saw Heaven Can Wait, and it was awesome. Isn't wanted to tell you that I took your recommendation. I saw Heaven Can Wait and it was awesome. Isn't that crazy how good that is? It's so good. And can I tell you my favorite part that I noticed immediately and loved? It's that Warren Beatty never, as soon as he finds out, as soon as he finds out that he's dead, he immediately goes,

I've got to get to the Super Bowl. He doesn't go, oh, my God, my family, my girl, like none of that. Like he doesn't say, let me go check on my mom. He's just like, I got to whip this old rich man into shape. The afterlife is real. It was I love that movie was like almost perfect. Yeah, it made me like, you know, kind of as a young man, it made me like you know kind of as a young man it made me a little sad the you know the whole concept of uh heaven and everything and how like you just have to be

persuasive to uh get to come back down to earth but that you've got to be in some you got to be in a new body to do it so then kind of defeats the purpose because you're probably coming back because you still want to be you you know right so uh so yeah so that's all he had it's just he's still too important the super bowl is too important oh also that the trainer totally didn't give a shit that the other quarterback died in the super bowl didn't care at all. Yeah, no, he just knew it was going to be a great spot for his dead friend to step in. It is, but it's just like, all the actors in it are terrific. It's just got a tone to it that's just like, it's so,

the whole movie is so self-assured. I mean, it's like kind of a team of talented people because it was co-directed by Warren Beat baity and elaine may and buck henry is in there as a writer and and and and an actor and but like james mason is such a smooth you know mr jordan the dude that runs heaven and um and what's his name charles groden so funny so awesome murderous son-in-law or whatever, whatever his name was. But anyway,

I could talk about having Kuwait forever, but I'm glad I recruited one more person to the, the having Kuwait squad and your paperwork will arrive in a few days. Corey. Thank you. Thank you, Doug. And joining us for the first time,

but for a long time i don't know what that means is jordan morris hey jordan hi doug yeah i'm looking forward to a long ass episode let's let's make this a springsteen concert huh no opener three hours all the hits yeah i like to i i like to i think the people that appreciate this podcast, part of it is just the tightness of it. You know what you're going to get before you get into it. But in addition to podcasting yourself, Jordan Morris, you also have a new graphic novel out called Youth Group. Yes, that's true. i can chat a little bit more about it in the yeah tell us about it if you want no i'll do it i'll do it now uh yeah youth group

it is a uh ya horror comedy about teenage exorcists uh the arts about by the great bowen mcgurdy it is available for pre-order now and it's uh it's kind of set in one of these like um cool bible study groups for teens i don't know if anybody else was a part of one of these things where like the youth pastor like has tattoo sleeves and he sits backwards on the chair and tells you about a pretty cool guy named jc who was pretty punk rock i was a real christian that sounds fun i smoked a couple cigarettes back in my day guys i know what it's like to want to french a woman yeah and i will someday when i am good and married to her um yes i grew up and it's not waiting for that guy yeah i grew up going to one of these things

and uh yeah the kind of premise of the graphic novel is like what if these doofuses had to do I grew up and it's not waiting for that guy. Yeah. I grew up going to one of these things and yeah, the kind of premise of the graphic novel is like, what if these doofuses had to do exorcisms? So it's all these kind of, you know, goofy wannabe hip Christians having to actually fight demons and stuff. And yeah, it's available for pre-order wherever you get your books,

Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or better yet your local indie bookstore. Well, you know, I'm glad we got that over with because this is this is not doug loves books i did think about starting a doug loves graphic novels though but uh i just didn't feel like i i knew enough about the topic but before we play

our games today i got a couple of games worked out for everybody. First, let's visit Recommendation Nation. That's where I get a recommendation out of each one of my guests. But this is the Best Picture Oscar Edition. I'd like each of you to answer

this question. Start with you, Amy. Which nominee for Best Picture, and I got a list of all 10 names if you need refreshing, but which movie do you think of the nominees for Best Picture is most uplifting and why? Barbie. Amy, you went right for Barbie.

You genuinely found barbie uplifting i did yeah i thought it wasn't on the list but now i'm glad to find out it is just like this just like this podcast so tight yeah barbie's right there all you gotta do is get to like the third title alphabetically and you got you got yourself a barbie for uh best picture and i i certainly think it is the most continuously uplifting like the whole movie's sort of fun and uh supportive of various things um the reason i i'm even asking this is just because i find that the movie that wins best picture instead of being what i you know it's not the most lift the most uplifting necessarily

it's the one that everyone can agree was the most spoke to them enough to be considered uh the best so it's kind of either watered down movies or just heavy heavy dramas that that everybody agrees is the best picture it's rare so i'm looking for like is any of these movies genuinely uplifting and so you feel like barbie was for you amy it was but to be honest i'm behind on the list i like just yeah catching up so some of these i haven't seen um yeah that's my feeling too real bummers well that's why i think i've seen the fun ones american fiction supposedly supposed to be pretty fun but um it's still got a heavy you know it's got a serious message and uh the rest of them there's some pretty heavy movies is that movie where the lady

maybe pushes her husband off the roof yeah i picked that i saw that recently i think it is i think it is a great movie and uh it is uplifting in the sense that it'll give you faith in the french justice system oh okay so we're skipping ahead to you jordan that's that's your answer or do you think there's another one that's more uplifting in the field yes uh adam and maria fall absolutely not uplifting absolutely a great movie um you know uh barbie absolutely it's a blast it's a hoot we all love it uh i'll stump for the holdovers i think the holdovers is a great feel-good movie uh yeah it's a very kind of classic dramedy. I think the inspiration is like, oh gosh,

like being there and that kind of, you know, that kind of 70s dramedy. And yeah, it's fantastic. It's got some kind of dark humor. It's got some dark moments, but I don't know. Left me feeling really great. It's a pretty cozy, funny, terrific movie. I wished i'd

watched it uh around the holidays because i i didn't get around to seeing it until a couple weeks ago and uh i i know it's not like a christmasy in the sense that it's like a christmas movie but it does take place over uh the holidays so i think and especially um anybody that doesn't have family or does get stuck somewhere. It'd be an interesting watch, but I think nobody was really promoting it that way. They were basically already just positioning it as, you know, best picture material. I think it is a great Christmas movie. It does take place at Christmas, has a lot of Christmas stuff in it. And also Paul Giamatti tries to break into Nakatomi plaza so oh yeah that's a fun segment

all right so cory does that leave you yeah that was going to be my answer as well you're not going to say oppenheimer i know you're no no i am a a big fan, but I was going to go with the holdovers. And I was going to say, when you first start watching the movie, I don't know if you know that it's going to end up being uplifting because there's a lot of dark stuff there. Clearly, the kid's super depressed, and we find out a lot of the why during the movie. Giamatti is a loner.

We find out a lot of his backstory of why he's kicked out of school. The poor mom whose son died in Vietnam. There's a lot of grim stuff in there. But ultimately, it really mirrors dead poet society in so many ways in terms of it's this professor and student realizing how much they have in common

and one like you know there's no suicide which is nice which mean it can make it an uplifting movie uh you know but at the end you really it leaves you with a good taste in your mouth of like hey i think this kid's gonna be all right and uh because he he finally he found someone this older person who believes in him and he feels seen in the world. And I think that Giamatti, regardless of all of his failings, and maybe he didn't live up to what he feels his true potential is, realized, hey, I helped a kid and who gives a shit? That's what it's all about.

So I walked away from the holdovers with a smile on my face. I guess I did with Barbie, too but not like any sort of like real world messaging whereas like the holdovers i did uh and yeah i mean dude oppenheimer made me want to shoot myself but like uh cinematically it was great right i guess you could say it was what barbie's for girls sorry dude hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. I loved Barbie. Hold on a minute. Listen here. Let me tell you, as a man, I need to tell you how much Barbie meant to me.

I loved it. How about all those Ken parts, huh? I didn't see any uplifting messages in it about anything I could tell. messages in it about anything i could tell i heard america ferreras had an uplifting message but i was at the uh snack bar during that part we make the men leave during that part could you imagine that'd be so great we're not gonna admit that they saw that killer and and and i've since told you that i think that killers of the flower moon was actually better than Oppenheimer, but that might be the hardest watch of all time.

It might be the least uplifting movie that's ever been made. Yeah. I really don't look forward to it at all. It's great. It is great. Yeah. I really loved it again. Yeah.

Some tough stuff and some, some tough stuff about history in there. But, man, what a movie. Why? What did we do? Oh, my God. Oh, boy. Doug, you want to watch it on the phone together?

It's mainly people that look and sound like me, if that makes you feel better, Doug. No, it doesn't. If they look like me, too, then probably. I don't know what you look like, but I'm just guessing. Oh, I'm from Oakland. Oh, right on. I'm from Chickamauga, Georgia, so we're worse. Yeah, there is a...

I don't think Corey can get through a podcast without saying Chickamauga. Also, don't know what you look like. We are not using Dio. There is a montage in Killers of the Flower Moon of people, of guys who sound a lot like Corey just getting killed. Yeah, I was about to say, I don't think you have to have video to ascertain at least a little bit of what I look like based on what I sound like.

You've got a half shirt that says dump it out, right? Yes, I do. We mentioned American fiction briefly. Zone of Interest sounds like a complete nightmare have you seen that jordan i have not yeah that one sounds tough that that that's uh i actually haven't seen oppenheimer either so i guess i'm saving i'm saving the two the two challenging watches for for uh right up to the uh uh yeah right up to the limit. So you have seen Maestro? Oh, no, I guess I haven't seen Maestro either. What's the uplifting factor on Maestro?

Are you feeling good at the end? Well, there's a lot of good music. I don't think it's like, it's certainly no surprise that Lenny Bernstein passed away at whatever age he was when he died. I guess the movie kind of covers more like it's more like just kind of the relationship between him and his wife, I think. Uh,

so I don't know how, how uplifting it is. Um, poor things is funny. I guess I haven't seen that one either. Um, yeah, I'm excited for poor things.

Um, and I'll say American fiction has some, does have a lot of hard laughs in it. I really laughed a lot during American fiction. And yeah, it's like satirical, but I don't think you'll leave going, that was a heavy movie. I think you'll leave thinking that was like funny and well done with some like satirical points

for you to think about. But yeah, lots of laughs in American Fish. Which is wow, because that's like that's a pretty heavy concept for a movie. Like I'm really excited about it. But I like hearing about it. I was like, oh, that's going to be, you know, that's going to be pretty heavy and challenging. Yeah, it's got some it's got some of that in it. But the sense of humor is kind of like a South Park episode.

I love that. Yeah, you can. It's got that kind of like a South Park episode. I love that. Yeah. You can, it's, it's got that kind of like, uh, yeah, it's got this, this like, that's kind of sense of humor that kind of toes the line in a really fun way.

Yeah. Like here's what, here's what we want to say, but we still want people to watch it. So let's make it palatable. Yeah. Um, that's,

I think that's, uh, that's a, that's a good way to put it. Yeah. I do not, do not avoid or run from American fiction at all. It's a hoot. I loved it.

All right. Well, thank you for all of your opinions and your honesty. I think we need a moment to reflect, so let's go to a break and we'll be right back. Okay, we're

back and I feel better. I feel really good about not seeing Killers of the Flower Moon. I've pretty much made that the plan. I've got a matinee of movies I'm not going to see, a double feature of Killers of the Flower Moon and Zone of Interest. Let's watch them both on the phone back to back. I'm just going to have some laughs. I'll send you a pizza.

Maybe I'll see Poor Things again just to have some laughs because it's got some funny parts, but it's weird. Do you have a lot of Oscar years where you've left out movies just because they look like bummers? No, for like Best Picture, especially, I've made a point of seeing everything every year for a while now. But a lot of times there's a lot of the lesser categories. If I try to see everything, like this year, there's 53 different films of varying lengths have been nominated for something and so i usually would challenge myself to see all of them but this year i'm just like

there's too many there's too much media that i enjoy consuming these days that i can't just watch stuff just because it's on somebody's list you know like i got it was just too much stuff I like. I like way too many, you know, series and limited series and ongoing game shows. You know, I love game shows. So I'm not going to like not watch game shows to make time for, you know, horrible movie about genocide that I've already got a very strong opinion about what happened. I like it. Good. got a very strong opinion about what happened like it good there's no time for the genocide movie when madam webb is in theaters right now well that's you know that used to be the old me but now i'm even i'm not not that psyched about seeing madam webb because the all the talk is so terrible for it i get to the point where where that's what gets me pumped up to see

comic book movies because I have so much comic book movie fatigue that now I'm like okay, I mean if they're putting out a new Morbius, I'll put it on while my baby's rolling around and just see how dog shit it is. The baby's shitting, the movie's shitting, everybody's

shitting. Because that's what I have to watch during the day now is like either movies I've already seen or like something that I don't care about. You know what I mean? Cause like a movie, like a plane movie where you're not really, I don't have to pay attention cause like he's doing his thing. So now I'm like, okay. Like I watched nine 11 the other day, the Charlie Sheen,

whoopie Goldberg, the movie, you know what I mean? I was like, all right, stop making things up. Stop making stuff up. That's not a real movie. This is shows about facts and the truth. But yeah, I hear you, Corey, but we got some games we got to play. I know. I'm sorry.

It's it's OK, but I hope you got out everything you needed to say. I did on the matter, whatever that matter was. The first game we're going to play today is called ABC Adidas and Nuts. It's a spelling game

and today you don't really need to know how to spell. It's not that difficult. He he's a b so he's really excited this is where i shine yeah he's really uh anytime a b pops up the b is ready they named the contest after my people for a reason um so basically what it is, is I tell you a word and then you take turns naming movies that begin with each letter in that word until we get to the end. And it's pretty, pretty easy. But if you say a movie that I wrote down ahead of time, if you match me, then you automatically win the game. And it really does happen.

It's happened to you right oh yeah once it could happen and you may or may not have figured out the theme i forget what happened there but there is a theme uh so the word we're going to spell because i'm doing stand up there at the well comedy club on Saturday, February 24th. Bakersfield. Nice. Bakersfield. So we'll start with Amy.

First letter of Bakersfield is B, so Amy names any movie in the history of cinema that begins with the letter B. As long as we all believe that that is accurate, she continues on in the game. But like I said before, she matches what I've written down in advance continues on in the game. But like I said before, she matches what I've written down in advance. She wins the game. If not, we move on to Corey

and he gets the next letter, which would be A, et cetera. Amy. First of all, thank you for honoring my roots, my oaky roots by picking Bakersfield. I appreciate that. A lot of my family lives there, as you know. I am very excited to be going there, to be honest with you.

And so I talk about it every chance I get. Yeah, I did a show there a couple weeks ago. It was super fun. Yeah. Well, there's nothing to fucking do there. So people just like hell yes it's in california but it's not you know like in a not crowded part of it so it's like uh i love it it's got buck owens's crystal palace have you ever been there yeah absolutely much fun bakersfield has like a country music history and yeah there's this kind of crazy

country music restaurant with a Cadillac on the wall and you know, all these famous nudie suits framed up. It's, it's the best. I kind of like Bakersfield. I'm kind of a Bakersfield fan. You guys are hilarious. I've had to spend a lot of time there in my life and trust me, you don't. I've had to spend a lot of time there in my life. And trust me, you don't. It's fun to visit, Amy. It's fun to ride. It is. I'm glad they got a club.

My mom was trying to convince me to open a comedy club there for so long. And I'm like, I don't want to run a comedy club. But she was like, there should be something between L.A. and the Bay Area. I'm like, yeah, no shit. That's right. But I'm glad there's something now it's called san jose and it's great yeah you already have it it's called san jose we all love it dan los abispo oh yeah uh santa barbara there's spots all along the way you know but you know you know

or 99 field really is the big yeah it's the big stop on the five. That's for damn sure. That's how much I like it. I could just drive home after the show, but I'm going to actually stay in Bakersfield and really take it in until about 11 a.m. the next day.

All right. We've got to go antique shopping. Okay, sorry. I'll go antiquing for sure so b is the first letter in bakersfield amy so you don't know what the theme is it's not movies that take place in bakersfield i'll tell you that much uh so go ahead amy any movie it begins with b what if i only mentioned mentioned Barbie on this podcast? If it's a theme, I would do that just to be silly because I knew it would already have come up at this point. But no,

I didn't say Barbie. I said Beverly Hills Cop. That's the first one. That's your first hint into what the theme might be. So now we go to Corey in the first one. That's your first hint into what the theme might be. So now we go to Corey in the letter A. Alien. I like how disappointed you are in your answer.

Because you don't think there's a theme that could have Beverly Hills Cop and Alien? I know that you have a theme, but I know that it's not just cop movies. You know what I mean? And also, I couldn't think of a cop movie with A, so I'm just blurting something out because I know I ain't getting the theme until at least seven picks in. I look at Alien as kind of a cop movie because they're all just space cops,

and then they get... I think they're like space garbage they're on some of their own get killed so then the cops have to step up and one cop ultimately saves the cat i'm just all about spoiling movies today uh i wrote down american gangster, here we go. Here we go. Jordan, your letter is K, any movie. Okay. The letter K. I'm going to take a swing at getting the theme and say kindergarten cop.

Oh, I really like that. I like that a lot. You'll be disappointed to hear what I did write down, though, because it was right there for the taking. Killers of the Flower Moon. Oh, OK. Yeah. Kindergarten Cop was the Killers of the Flower Moon of its day.

It really was. It had like Killers of the Flower Moon, just like Kindergarten Cop has some of the most fun catchphrases that people are out there saying right now. Now, which of those movies has boys have penises girls have vaginas which of the two kindergarten okay yeah okay i get those i get them confused a lot yeah uh all right i'm princess it's not a tumor this is the game, people. E is the next letter. Back to Amy.

Amy. Everything, everywhere, all at once. I love that. I love that whenever it gets a mention. But I went with a motion picture called End of Watch. It's about a guy, somebody crushes his Timex. R is the next letter to Corey Robin Hood Timex is hilarious

You picked such an old watch Did you say Timex? That's so funny I don't know why I didn't say Rolex or something else I have no notes about that joke Doug Let's go to lunch That's so funny. I don't know why I didn't say Rolex or something else, but yeah, Timex. Hi, Mick. I have no notes about that joke, Doug.

That is perfect. Let's go to lunch. Corey R. Robin Hood. Oh, yeah. You said that already. I did. Yeah. And that might not be the right answer, but it was like you took from the rich and gave to the poor.

Thank you. The one that the movie I wrote down is Rush Hour. Damn it. So I think everybody sees where this is going. I do. Jordan gets the next one, the letter S. Yeah. Do I have this?

I don't know. Seven. Oh, that is a good one. But it's funny. I always have to correct people. It's pronounced seven. Oh, right. Excuse me.

The V is a seven as well. It's a slight lisp. Yeah. yeah the motion pictures that i wrote down what i believe is the number one lowest ranked movie on rotten tomatoes that does not deserve it a film called super troopers ah so super troopers have a bad rotten tomato score of course it does for some reason the critics were like quite mean to it and they you know and it's not hasn't been long enough i guess to do that thing where they all change their minds later you know but uh but it's it's the rare because i'm always challenging people give me an example of a movie

got under 40 percent of raw tomatoes that you think is great not just good or okay because there's certainly there's lots of movies that are just fine that don't get a great score but what's a movie that you know is really falsely maligned and it's hard to come up with because you know yeah as much as it sucks in some ways because it's it's hurtful to filmmakers because they work hard on something and then just get this stupid number attached to it but i feel like the number is not not that crazy off most of the time those types of comedies i think sometimes like take a while to get rediscovered like mcgruber i'm sure has a terrible rotten tomato i think that's another great example yeah wet hot american summer mcgruber i made a list recently of joe dirt

full of very yeah there's some misunderstood. Y'all are laughing ironically. I don't like that. No, I was laughing because I was remembering Joe Dirt. I was remembering all the funny things that happened in that great movie. Yeah, I was remembering that my hairstyle now resembles Joe Dirt. I'm not happy about it. Okay, F is the next letter.

Back to Amy. Can I hear all the answers again? Sure. We got Beverly Hills Cop, American Gangster, Killers of the Flower Moon, End of Watch, Rush Hour, Super Troopers.

Hey, you almost tricked me into saying the f hey i actually don't know what the theme is that's fine i bet the answer is fools russian oh hilarious excellent f title but i wrote down fargo nice okay the motion picture the letter i is up itself was upset about i robot i had to and i was like i wanted to pick inception but i was like no no even though it's kind of copy a little bit doug's gonna go with i robot because he'll think that i have too much pride to say it um they're making a like a new i am legend movie with michael b jordan i saw that oh cool well what is he like wasn't will smith like the last person i believe i guess he ran into he ran into some people that were trying to like

restart society right yeah yeah and there's gonna be two legends okay that's what i was gonna say it says i feel like there's enough room for one legend in this in that we are a legend i hope he just is apollo creed son in that movie too Like he just punched his way through civilization and he's like, I'm still here, motherfucker. I don't see any reason why Michael B. Jordan would ever stop being, you know, in good shape and taking his shirt off in films. Me either.

That's really seems like it. Because life is hard and it gets and it's hard to go to the gym all the time. Nah. Yeah, that's true. It's so depressing. Not when they give you millions of dollars just to go to the gym, though. It's not as hard. It's still hard, but it's not as hard.

He definitely wants to win awards, so he might go the, you know, he might go the slovenly route, like put on a few pounds for a role. A Christian Bale. Yeah. He could be in the whale part two i'd like to see a more achievable realistic michael b jordan out there that would make you don't really see a lot of black guys go fat for the role you know what i mean i too you know a nutty professor of course yeah right the fake fake funny fat sure but like you're not seeing like what brennan frazier did

that's a white guy's game you know what i mean like 50 cent when he did it he went super skinny you know right went home empty-handed too yeah it happens you just never know if it's gonna pay off but boy did mcconaughey and uh what's this jared leto both did well with the uh losing a ton of weight for the i don't think jared leto is anything different i think he was just being weird and they were like come here and be in this movie and he was like okay i'm only eating sand this month put on eyeliner and go over to this cowboy he's the first frail actor they saw it's like oh you just happen to be frail this is perfect let's shoot the scenes where he's dying first and give him and give him some food all right um letters i and who was it on cory yes and i said i robot

for the love of god yeah i had to recap that because i forgot um i wrote down in the heat of the night of course you did yes um e is the next letter jordan uh doug can you remind me what your last e was is that an acceptable question it's a great question it was the most official called end of watch okay uh yes so i am out of e-cop movies officially i guess the closest thing i can think of is edge of tomorrow aren't there kind of cops in that army cops that travel back in time so you should just win just based on uh you know logic there that was a thank you. Yes.

Excellent move. But I agree with you. I couldn't think of another comedy. So I just wrote down end of watch again. Curses. Oh, you're tricky. You're so tricky. How are we?

Is that true? It is true. Of course it is. Whose show are you on? Letter L back to you, Amy. Is that true? It is true. Of course it is. Whose show are you on? The letter L. Back to you, Amy. Lethal Weapon. That is the correct answer.

Let me get my special whistle. You did it. So powerful. Congratulations. You match it up. And of course, everybody knows what letter d is that hard yeah i was gonna win damn you amy you were gonna win if you didn't win if you if she had lost you were gonna win um but congratulations to Amy. And, you know, you don't win anything terribly special. Just going to go first in our next game. But the reason Bakersfield, the reason I went with cop movies is as an homage to the short-lived but popular television show, television comedy,

Bakersfield PD. Yeah. Kind of a interesting pre predecessor to Reno 9-11. I don't know if that's how they prefer it to be said. No, they correct me every time, but I can't let it go i can't ever forget yeah i always do it but uh like i said i'm gonna be in bankersfield at the well with our friend

chad opitz uh saturday uh february 24th seven o'clock douglasmovies.com for ticket link and whatnot and we've got one more game to play, and we'll do that right after the break. We'll be right back. We are back, and Amy won the first game. So that means she gets to go first in a game, and then we'll switch the order around. So Amy will go first, and then it'll go to Jordan, and then to Corey, and back to Amy in a game that I call

Johnson and Johnson and Griffith. Dakota Johnson's been getting a lot of flack on the internet lately. It seems like she can't do an interview without saying something that upsets the fanboys or just uh humanity in general uh so since she's such a hot spot of a conversation i thought of this game i'll name a, and then you tell me if it's got Dakota Johnson in it or her dad Don Johnson or her mom Melanie Griffiths. So the options are Dakota, Don, or Melanie.

I'll say the first one to Amy. If she misses, then Jordan gets a chance. And if Jordan misses, then Corey gets the gimme point because he'll be narrowed down to what the actual answer is. And he'll remember he's Corey's a smart one like that. Sure. And yeah, he'll totally pay attention. So and then whenever somebody gets a point, the next person in order goes first on the next one. And first person to three points will be the winner.

Dawn, Dakota, or Melanie, Amy. The first motion picture is a film called Goats. G-O-A-T-S, Goats. Yeah, you remember that movie. Yeah, of course, because it had my favorite Don Johnson in it. That's your answer, is Don Johnson? Yep. I'm sorry, that is incorrect.

Jordan. Oof, yes, Ghosts. Your chance to steal. Of course, I would love to steal um we all know this movie some say it's the greatest of all time i happen to agree love this movie um melanie griffith maybe also incorrect oh man so cory is gonna do exactly what we i just was describing well i guess perfectly for you cory do you remember i do i it's madame webb herself uh dakota johnson that's right hooray young dakota one of her first acting roles was in a lot of, it was apparently a family adventure, uh, about goats.

Uh, and so, so that's what it's called goats. I kind of want to see it. I do too. I don't really, but emphasis on the kind of, yeah.

Is it true that she went method for that movie and eats a whole can on screen? I don't, uh, I'm not going to comment on that one way or the other because like i said i think she's being unfairly maligned in the media for just having kind of a weird kind of an odd sense of humor nepo babies are not having a good go of it lately so like they're already 10 points down going into anything. It's true.

It is a tough time to be a nepo baby. Cause it's funny. I see the comments so much that are like people that are mad at her, whatever they're mad at her about. It's just very like, she wouldn't be where she is today if it wasn't for her parents. And it's like, I guess so.

But like, I don't know. Like, I don't think most people are like, Hey, you're going gonna go see that new movie that stars the kids that don johnson and melanie griffith made like i don't even know if people even put that together she's related to them or even cares about them anymore it's also

the only business where people give too much of a shit because it's like you hire joe and son's plumber you don't give a fuck that the sons are there because Joe's their dad like of course they're gonna plumb what do you want them to do you know what I mean they've got all the equipment already right they got a fucking plumb man and it's like yes it's easier for her of course like now if she starts acting like it's not roaster you know what I'm saying but like what do you she wants to act and like yeah the producers are gonna be like yeah we'll get your kid a meeting what the fuck what do you mean yeah i do feel like there are dad's tom hanks so it's a hell of a thing for me to say but you know

right i love your reggae album by the way cory thank you bumbleclats i'm not allowed to do that uh i do think there are like equal amounts of people who like are roasting her for her weird junkets. But I think there's a lot of people who love her for just like being honest, kind of not giving a fuck. I do think there's a special like fuck you attitude you have when you're the child of famous people, because like you'll never fail. Like even if you totally wash out you'll be fine you'll you know your parents could set you up with a job at like you know an event planning company or something if your acting doesn't work out so i think she's going into these junkets with kind of a fun sense of like fuck you it's a comic book movie too who gives a shit don't ask me about memes

i don't know what memes are you know i don't don't ask me about the m I don't know what memes are. You know, I don't don't ask me about the MCU timeline. I kind of think her fuck you attitude during all this has been really fun. And I think she's going to come out of this like kind of smelling like a rose, I think. Yeah, it just gives misogynist, you know, it just gives like fanboys like the opportunity to be like, how could they cast somebody in a marvel movie that can't name the spider-man films which like if you try to name the three tom holland spider-man films your average fan is going to fuck it up because the titles are so dumb the way it's you know almost home coming home homecoming like what the fuck right like it's they're already

indistinguishable from one another and then take the job without knowing the difference between the beyonder and the living tribunal and then she said funny ones when they asked her like spider-man 2 he's coming back you know she had a good sense of humor about it i thought anyway good for her all right so uh, Corey's on the board. Amy's up first again. Amy, the motion picture is called the five-year engagement. Who's in that? Dawn, Dakota, or Melanie? Dawn Johnson. You're going Dawn.

DJ. Dawn Johnson in five-year engagement. No. Sorry. Sorry it had to be like this. Jordan. You know, this is a movie I would claim to like a lot if you asked me about some of my favorite recent rom-coms,

but I'll admit I don't know off the dome which one of these people is in this movie right it gosh i mean just based on the age of the other cast members dakota johnson makes the most sense but maybe melanie griffith is like kind of a stunt cast as a mom or a boss or something uh i'm gonna say dakota johnson but it might be wrong dakota is correct dakota johnson does appear in the five-year engagement probably like it does doesn't he like if it's five years don't they sort of have a breakup at one point he like tries to date somebody else or something that sounds right like that kind of part she's like probably immediately shitty so we can all feel good about him going back to emily blunt really thought i was gonna

get lucky there uh all right so uh we got jordan's on the board but cory has a chance to sprint ahead of everybody because he's first on this next round. Don, Dakota, or Melanie, a film called Underground Aces. Underground Aces. Okay, that sounds like some old shit for sure. So I'm immediately going to take Dakota out of the running. Underground Aces. I've never heard my mom talk about it, so I'm going to take Don Johnson out of it. That's great logic, by the way. That's insanely good logic. Yeah, and so I guess I have to go

with Melanie Griffith, which means if that's true, I have to go watch it because I've had a crush on Melanie ever since I saw... I'm not going to say the movie because it might be a clue later. Yeah, I'll go with fucking Melanie Griffith. Hey! Uh-oh. That is correct.

From 1981. Oh, that's hot, Melanie Griffith. Yeah, she's pretty young there. Might have even been late yeah, she's pretty young there. Might have even been late teens, possibly. Oh, okay. Well, forget what I said. I can't.

It's recorded. It's officially on the record. All right. But good job with that guess. Amy's back in the first position for the next one. You need to get on the board here, Amy. The film is Fear City. Fear City.

I don't recommend you shopping there. Party City is way more stuff that's's like especially if you're planning a party do not shop at fear city fear city bad place to get latex balloons um here city who do you think's in that uh don dakota or melanie you know what i'm gonna to say, because it's Don Johnson. You just Don Johnson. I think it's right this time. I think it isn't right.

And I've got the answers right here. So I'm sorry. I'm sorry now. But there's still a chance for a big, a big comeback here. If one of these next two gentlemen can't get this one, then you're right back. I'm just going to say Wyatt Russell, Wyatt Russell for my next one.

Jordan, Fear City. Is it got Dakota or Melanie? Gosh, great question. I don't know this movie. Sounds kind of like a throwback. You know, I think they did a lot of those neo-noirs in the 80s. Maybe it's one of those.

A kind of body heat type movie. So that's something Melanie Griffith probably would have been in. Maybe I'll guess Melanie Griffith. That's my logic. That's your final answer? Yeah. That is correct. It is Melanie Griffith is in something that's called Fear City. Is in something.

Might be a movie. Might be a commercial. Who knows? I don't know what went on with the Fear City. But all right, Corey, this is yours to lose because you're up first. And if you get this one right, you win. If you lose, Amy's still in it as a spoiler, essentially. Amy could still win this whole thing.

I'm not going to lie to you. That'd be exciting. That'd be as exciting as that last uh super bowl um so cory you ready uh yes all right which one uh don decoder melanie is in a motion picture entitled soggy bottom usa i've definitely heard of that you have i've heard of it not seen it heard of it and the only reason that i have is because i'm a big uh coen brothers fan and soggy bottom boys are the band yeah and so when scrolling like soggy bottom just like caught my eye and because of that i know like i just know that it exists and because of that i know that it's old so i know it's not dakota and for the love exists is old and for well i'm just saying i saw this before i knew who dakota johnson

even was so like you know this is a long time ago and for the love of god there has to be a fucking don johnson on this i mean i know that that's had doug often does a thing where he doesn't put everybody on there but i for all the mar And I'm saying that you are correct. Boo! Boo! You did it, you son of a gun. Corey sniffed it out. It was from 1981 and featured Don Johnson.

He's had an interesting career, but congratulations, Corey. You're our winner once again. How many wins does that make for you? I think six. We got to make a limit or something. Yeah. I don't know.

That's fine by me. Got to have a proclamation or a parade or something. All right. So you get to promote yourself first. What would you like to promote?
