Carlos Rodriguez and Eliza Skinner. Hi, happy new year. Hi. Hey, happy new year, Doug.
new year hi hey happy new year doug uh let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically as i like to do by first name sorry eliza we first met him in sacramento now he's in Las Vegas Where I will be
Actually on March 1st and 2nd
But more about that later
It's Carlos Rodriguez
There it is
Are you pumped
Are you pumped Carlos
That the big game They like to call, is going to be played in Las Vegas?
I kind of, nah, no.
You don't need all that extra heat on the town you live in, right?
It's going to be crazy next weekend in Las Vegas.
Yeah, it's going to be nuts.
And then on top of that too
it's two teams i i can't stand i'm a i'm a fan and they're niners and it's the chiefs they're
both our rivals and i can't go writers all right uh he is the returning champion from last week's show.
It's Corey Ryan Forrester.
Hey, Doug.
I wanted to let you know that I'm wearing a diaper just for you.
Oh, okay.
Our next guest.
Why is it just for me?
I don't know why I deserve the honor.
Well, Doug, because before I came on this podcast with you,
I had recorded two other podcasts back to back,
and I had a couple beverages, and I was like,
I'm not going to ruin Doug's podcast by, A, having to get up to pee,
or, B, not concentrating and giving it my best by having to hold in a pee.
not concentrating and giving it my best by having to hold in a pee. So I went and put on a diaper so I could just go for it whenever I wanted to.
So that's what's going on.
All right.
Well, you know, I still have the sad feeling that you'll let us know somehow if you're
relieving yourself.
So I'll turn my video on so you can see my relief.
I don't like it.
Are you?
I was just going to ask if you were ready to come down from the high of being a champion.
Yes, I'm definitely ready. Listen, it's been a complete folly that I have won as many times as I have.
And I'm thoroughly ready to be exposed for how much luck has gone into any of these victories.
So can't wait.
Y'all prepare to beat the poop out of me.
Well, we've got another winner joining us.
It's Eliza Skinner.
Hey, Eliza.
Hey.
How are you?
I'm good.
It's been a few weeks since you won over at the Improv Lab in Hollywood.
Yeah, yeah.
Do you think you still have what it takes to win again today?
Absolutely not, no.
I haven't seen any movies.
I know nothing.
I'm a real fool.
You're a real foolish blank slate Ready to go
And you'll probably just ask politely
If you need to use the restroom
Oh I'm on the toilet right now
Oh no
Oh no
Is Carlos the only one that prepared
Properly by just not having
A lot of water today
Oh well it's raining out i don't know i'm
yeah it's really choice it's it is raining in the southland so we're getting hit hard right now so
this is the perfect time to uh podcast from indoors uh and before we play our games today, it's Recommendation Nation time.
And since the Superist of Bowls is almost upon us, it's one week away, and everyone except for Carlos is excited about it.
Oh, yeah, man.
I'm all depressed.
I'm all depressed.
Yeah.
I would like each of you this week to please recommend a,
you know,
and I don't know if your tastes,
any of you even like these kinds of movies,
but so people can,
you know,
maybe watch a movie about football that they haven't seen before. Like it could be old,
new classic or obscure but please
starting with carlos please recommend a football movie uh football movie i would say to check out
you know it's pretty old actually it's called the program and it's con remember that yeah
yeah of course i heard of that one that was the movie that was
so controversial because you know as like a hazing exercise or something the football players would
lay in the middle of the street and then some copycat uh youngsters uh did it and then ended up
getting run down yeah so the movie was in trouble like right away for uh you know encouraging kids
to do this weird thing yeah i remember that yeah then the uh the scenes i ended no more they took
that scene out oh okay so now it's safe now it's just about your your normal concussions and what
not that yeah yeah didn't yell that yeah Didn't yell that. Yeah.
But it's a pretty intense movie.
You know, James Caan's always an intense actor. So I'm sure it's an interesting watch.
Okay.
Oh, that's why I know that.
Yeah.
Corey, what do you think?
Do you have a...
I sure do. Listen, I'm probably going to get,
I'm probably going to get made fun of for this, but I don't care. I don't think there is ever
a bad time to rewatch the water boy. It is a fantastic movie. It is full of ha-has and, you know, a pretty accurate portrayal of how college football goes down, in my opinion.
Just full of silliness.
And Jerry Reed gives one of the more Oscar-snubbed performances in all of cinema.
Well, Jerry Reed was just, he was a gem in general he was always uh a delight to watch in all those
burt reynolds movies unbelievable yeah this one he got away from burt and just uh you know
uh got into the uh adam sandler universe i find uh k Kathy Bates to be very entertaining
in The Waterboy. Oh, unbelievable.
And Jerry Reid, actually, in that
movie, one of the greatest
quotes, one of the most poignant quotes
actually that I still think about to this day
and I think that people could use
in their day-to-day life, Jerry Reid
says, and I quote, and really
think about this because it's deep, he says
the only thing better than a crawfish dinner is five crawfish dinners.
Think about that.
Think about that for a second.
It's really true if you think about it, you know?
But you got to think about it.
You have to think about it.
You have to.
But it is true.
You have to put your mind to it.
Yeah.
But wouldn't six dinners be better or is that
let's let's not let's not think about it too hard you know what i mean
i mean the only thing like he must have figured out that five is exactly the amount of dinners
you'd want to have before you just get sick of it. Or it would be out of season or something. Yeah, it used to be too much crawfish.
I thought you were going to, when you say you're going to quote Waterboy,
I thought it was going to be at least something that sounds like the person saying it has a mouth full of marbles.
No.
Farmer Fran.
The accents are so funny.
We live a pie on our day.
Yeah, there you go.
So you know how to do it of course i do
all right well eliza where do you where are you on is is the is there even a football movie that
you enjoy i mean it just doesn't really feel to me like that would be uh in your wheelhouse but
yes of course of course i would pick uh concussion
another one uh yeah speaking of accents um
uh you but you uh why do you enjoy that film so much okay no i'm i was kidding that was a joke
okay i would i would pick a more uplifting one, like Friday Night Lights.
Okay.
That's a good one.
Yeah, right?
Spawned a whole TV show.
Same wife, both times.
Yeah.
Yeah, the wife stayed the same, but pretty much everything else was different.
And no Billy Bob in the TV show.
Yeah, you can't get Billy Bob for TV money.
Mm-mm.
No, not until those High Flute miniseries came along.
Then they got his attention.
But a regular TV series is just going to struggle.
That's not what he's about.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Once you got Fargo, which is basically our new Battle of the Network stars,
it's prestige to be in there with all the other
big time guys but anyway yeah uh but friday night lights uh yeah the tv series was always
it felt like it was always in danger of being canceled then of course eventually it was but uh
um a kind of a gentler version of the movie.
The movie's a little bit more intense than the series.
But the series, of course, had its moments as well,
especially with Jussie Plemmons murdering a guy in season two.
Season two was wild.
Boobie made me cry in the movie, big time.
It did? Boobie did, yeah. Hey, doug did i tell you that i'm writing a movie i have a screenplay written about it's an airbud style movie about an
alien that plays football uh it's called uh c-t-e-t
that was bad did you think about recommending that movie i should have i don't like to pump
my own work you know right you don't want to get ahead of all the football movies it's just
a script at this point yeah right we didn't pick any uh nfl movies they're all college
high school football movies that's pretty crazy oh that is interesting i talked about draft day
the last podcast we did so i didn't want to do that again i was gonna say rudy but then i figured
you know it's already be it's gonna be played all week i assume leading up to it so or even
little giants i like that one that was good that's a good one
well the baseball movie kind of kind of person to be fair well you know that's uh you know uh
also sports i'm proud of you for not you know i just didn't i i you know just didn't know
anytime uh a lady guests on the program there's a good chance she'll say sports fuck off yeah well it depends on if we're
pmsing am i right ladies i wish there were more than one lady here so someone could at the very
least not in agreement but um yeah these are great i think these are three great suggestions because if anybody's into football,
wants to get pumped up for Sunday,
I'm going to watch the Taylor Swift documentary to prepare for Sunday
because that's what that day is going to be all about ultimately
because she's overshadowing everything, as she should.
Thank you for these recommendations.
We will be right back.
We're back, and we're going to play some games.
Game day, as they like to call it, is a week away,
but we're going to play some games right now.
The first one today is called Permission Granted.
I will name a movie.
And this game's not necessarily about consent.
I just realized.
No, I'll name a movie.
It's just a stupid pun.
Permission Granted means I'm going to name a movie. It's just a stupid pun. Prohibition granted means I'm going to name a movie and then you tell me
if it featured Harry Grant,
Hugh Grant, or Richard E. Grant.
Three amazing actors
and there's no role too small for any of these dudes
except for when Hugh Grant plays an Oompa Loompa.
Carlos will be up first.
I'll name a movie, and he'll guess between those three names.
If he misses, then Corey gets a shot.
If Corey misses, Elisa gets the gimme point.
But, of course, whenever somebody gets one right,
the next person will go first
in the next round.
Make sense, Carlos?
Yeah. Right on.
The first movie,
and Carlos is the first one
to guess, is
a motion picture called
Glass Onion, a Knives
Out Mystery.
Which one of those actors do you think
appeared in that film? Cary Grant, Hugh Grant,
or Richard E.
Grant?
Hugh Grant.
That.
Hang on a second.
It's correct.
I had to grab the
whistle that was right next to my
unused diapers. I didn't put the whistle. It was right next to my unused diapers.
I didn't put them on today.
But they are standing by.
Carlos, out of the gate.
Figured that one out.
Hugh Grant has a small cameo as...
The boyfriend.
The boyfriend of Benoit Blanc.
Benoit Blanc.
Yeah, speaking of that accent.
It's great. Adam Sandler can be the next
Knives Out movie as a relative
of Benoit Blanc.
Benoit Blanc. Yeah.
As a Southerner, we take
no offense to that, I promise.
My Southern mom is real mad about
it. Oh, really? It's a pest.
It's fun. And she's like, well,
it's not what we sound like and
i'm like what part of the south is your mom from virginia okay well you know it's funny because i
was gonna say i was gonna say oh he's doing like an aristocratic virginia thing who gives a shit
but that's uh actually it's more like savannah you know it's more like it's like it's like midnight in the garden of good
and evil shit like i i listen i get it but like for to me it's so refreshing for someone to be
doing a southern accent in the movie and it's not like hey how y'all doing let's yeah awesome
you know exactly it's not like hey yeah it's my grandma's sister yeah so it's just fun yeah i like it she just yeah it's not for everybody
some people are seeking out realism in their knives out movies yeah everything else absolutely
believable all right here's ronda the next one and cory gets to go first oh boy carlos already has a point he's on the board
this is your chance cory okay uh the motion picture is called which one of those dudes was in
alice in wonderland oh well it's not carrie grant can you tell me if it was the old Alice in Wonderland
or the
I can tell you that it's a motion picture
damn it
called Alice in Wonderland
I really hate you
okay
okay
well
if it's the new, like the 2015 one or something, then I Cary Grant played a voice, but I don't know that he would have done that.
Should I split it?
Should I split it and say Richard E. Grant?
I'm going to split it and say Richard E. Grant because I don't know.
Richard E. Grant.
That's incorrect.
I figured.
Eliza, do you think it's
Cary Grant or Hugh Grant
that was in A Alice in Wonderland?
There have been so many.
I'm gonna...
I'm gonna go Cary.
Put a different Grant on the board. Cary Grant.
That is correct. Son of a butt.
You were on to me there.
But this is the funny part
is you were thinking the animated
I was.
Alice in Wonderland. But there was a previous
live action Alice in Wonderland
in 1933.
Well, it's Cary Grant.
I assume a very young Cary Grant plays Mock Turtle.
What?
Well, yeah.
Stick a fork in my butt and let me cry about it.
Maybe that's why, you know, later in his career, you'd often see him in a Mock Turtle neck.
That's true. I never thought, you'd often see him in a mock turtleneck. That's true.
I never thought that was an homage.
Yeah.
It wasn't just because he had a turkey neck.
All right.
We're back around to Carlos.
And the next film that features Cary Grant, Hugh Grant, or Richard E. Grant is L.A. Story.
Okay.
L.A. Story.
Which one do you think was in that?
Oh, that's
Martin Sheen. No, Martin.
Yeah, no, not Martin. No.
Is that Steve Martin?
L.A. Story?
Hugh. It has to be Hugh. That was like when he was
hot, like in that era. Story? Hugh. It has to be Hugh. That was when he was hot, in that era.
Right?
Incorrect.
That's sound.
Corey?
Cary Grant was probably dead,
so I'll go Richard E. Grant.
You and your logic. It's crazy.
That's correct.
You're on the board.
We've got...
Everybody's got a point.
We're playing to three points.
Eliza...
Yeah, Eliza's next.
And the film
is The Little
Vampire.
What?
I'd tell you more about it, but there's no clues.
It's just something called The Little Vampire.
Well, I feel like a real fool because I love vampire media
and I have no idea what this is.
Since I have no idea what it is,
I'm going to guess it's not hugh grant um it's either some obscure old carrie grant or a weirdo movie that richard e grant did because he loves doing a
weirdo movie and i'm gonna hope it's that so i'm going to pick richard e grant well i loved your logic you really worked it out
we heard we heard the math and you're correct richard e grant has their supporting role
in the little vampire starring a then hot jonathan lipnicki oh
oh boy richard e grant really loves doing a weird movie i can't Oh boy.
Richard E. Grant really loves doing a weird movie.
I can't fault him.
All right.
So Eliza got a second point.
We're back to Carlos.
Carlos, which one of those gentlemen appears in Garfield
A Tale of Two Kitties?
It would have to be
I say
Garfield's probably watching something on television
and it's an old-timey movie probably
or an old American movie in French
subtitling it, and it would be Cary Grant.
That is
a very interesting guess by a
interesting guesser incorrect though
cory wow man well now it's shit
oh did it happen is it good thing you have the diaper on hold please
you guessed it was
it was Cary Grant on
I'm gonna go with
I'm gonna say
Richard E. Grant
is the end Garfield
a tale of two kitties
yeah why not
final answer
yeah right it's correct Garfield, A Tale of Two Kitties? Yeah, why not? Final answer?
Yeah.
That is correct.
Look, be a lady tonight.
Yeah, I don't, I'm not, you know, a Garfield completist.
Me either. I didn't do that one.
I feel like Jennifer Love Hewitt might be in it.
Or no. Anyway, it's Bill Murray. I feel like Jennifer Love Hewitt might be in it or no
anyway
it's
Bill Murray is still the voice of Garfield
even after the first one
it feels like they had him really locked into a contract
or something
but congratulations
on figuring that one out
and Eliza this is for the win
oh Jesus
if you know this.
Which one was in
The Hitman's Bodyguard?
What's funny is I did
commercials, promos for this movie
and have never seen it.
It's a blind guess,
gonna take
Cary Grant out of the running.
We haven't heard from Hugh for a while,
so I'm gonna go with Hugh Grant.
I always like your logic, but
incorrect.
It's not Hugh.
Carlos? I'm gonna Incorrect. It's not you. Carlos.
I'm going to go with Richard because I haven't used him yet.
That is correct.
That's my logic.
Yeah, he's in there.
He's a prolific actor.
And that's another one i did i don't even know if he's in uh hit
man's bodyguards bodyguard or whatever the hell they called the sequel hit man's bodyguards wife
yeah that's it and her lover and her lover and the chef um so yeah so uh we've got a three-way tie, and Corey, you're up next. If you get this right,
you win permission
granted, and that means you can do whatever
you want for the rest of the day.
But if you
miss, then Eliza can swoop
in and get it. Oh, boy.
Which one
of them, Richard E. Grant,
Cary Grant, or Hugh Grant, is
in Paddington 2? Oh, Richard E. Grant, Cary Grant, or Hugh Grant, is in Paddington 2?
Oh, my God.
Oh, that's Hugh.
That's Hugh.
That's definitely Hugh.
I'm not in it.
I'm not in it.
It's between.
That is Hugh.
That's Hugh Grant.
Hugh Grant is the correct answer.
Hell yeah.
You did it.
Congratulations, Corey.
Yeah, Hugh Grant gave perhaps the,
you know, one of his finest performances.
Agreed.
In Paddington 2.
And then that's why he's the Oompa Loompa
in the Wonka movie.
It's not exactly why, but I'm sure it has a lot to do with it
because the same director made Paddington 2 and Wonka.
Can I take this?
What's that?
Can I take this moment to scoff Doug Loves Movies alum Brandon Collins
for being the sole reason that Paddington, too, doesn't have 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and say that he should burn in hell forever.
Well, here's the thing.
I told you you could do whatever you want.
So permission granted.
Yeah, you did do exactly what you wanted there.
And it's too late to take it back but here's
the thing about raw toon tomatoes is that whenever it's like 99 or whatever people are like who's
that one a-hole that didn't like it it was brandon collins but he didn't hate it right
he gave it a mixed review and that's what pulled the rating down right but he gave it like two out of
five or two two out of no he he gave it rotten he gave it rotten doug yes he gave it rotten
yes he came on my podcast putting on airs which comes out wherever you get your podcast
and told us that it sucked and And I scorned him.
I, you know, I got to say that I'm one of the people that does not understand why people love the Paddington movies so much.
I think they're good, and I think they're excellent for children.
But I don't, for me, that's why I haven't seen Wonka yet,
because I just, I don't know.
It just feels...
Yeah, they're for children,
which means an adult named brandon collins shouldn't
fucking talk shit about him on rotten tomatoes is this person a professional
he's a professional asshole is what he is
get that gig i mean you're so passionate about pat. You barely remember Hugh Grant is in it. And he's like, I got it right.
By the way, Brandon, if you're listening, I love you very much.
But you're a butthead.
I think that.
Yeah, it's I think Paddington needed to be taken down a slight notch.
OK, that's fair.
Because 100 percent is not right, because I just don't think that movie is for everybody. I do think it leans more towards children or people who just really like, you know, talking bears, talking little talking bears.
Well, consider me those people.
Yeah, there you go.
Congratulations, Corey.
You're not only one, you got a plug in for your podcast early.
It's all coming together for you and we're gonna find out how you do in our next and final game the big the big one
we're gonna find out right after the break we'll be right back we are back and uh how are you holding up cory you could have ran to the restroom then
oh i'm totally fine doug
well i'm glad you stuck around for the uh the advertisements because i figure you're probably
in the market for some blue chew oh yeah we also promote that on our podcast. But it should be like a combination, you know, sexual stimulant.
But also it should just be like they should really step into the chew aspect of it and make it a chewing tobacco.
I agree. You could just have it just in between your cheek and gum, ready to go.
That would be good for the people who sound like me.
All right.
You won the last game, Corey, but as you know, that doesn't mean a whole lot.
It just means you get to go first in our final, our next game.
And, of course, i had to do this this game is called the benson bowl
one week out as i said earlier so we're going to play a game in which it's up to you to guess which films from the list from the history of cinema according to good old
entertainment weekly magazine is it still a magazine or is it just an online thing
uh these are the 10 20 let's go 20 20 best football movies of all time according to entertainment weekly so cory
will guess first and then we switch the order around so cory's gonna go first then carlos
and then eliza and we're gonna do three rounds of guesses if you guess a football movie that's number one
you'd get 20 points for that if you guess the one that's number 20 you get one point and then
there's all those points in between and of course no points if you name a football movie because there's a lot of them in the history of cinema
but only 20 of them
made this list.
Three rounds.
Whoever has the most points
will be the winner.
Corey,
are you ready?
I sure am ready.
I bet your mind is racing
because
you know a lot of movies that have football in them. I sure am ready. I bet your mind is racing because you know a lot of movies that have football in them.
I sure do.
I'm just trying to think which ones are considered the best according to Entertainment Weekly.
What's your first guess?
You're going to get three cracks at it, but you got to wait your turn after you give us your first guess you're gonna get three cracks at it but you gotta wait your turn after you give us your first guess i'm i'm really trying to think what's not my
favorite but what is something a pedantic website magazine would think is i'm gonna go i'm gonna say
before you say anything let me just make it a little easier for you.
Neither of the Paddington films made this list. Okay, god damn it.
Yeah, because they call it football.
They're not soccer.
That's unfortunate.
I'm going to go with Rudy.
They think Rudy's number one.
I mean, it already came up in conversation earlier today,
and so I personally would have been surprised to not see Rudy on the list. I mean, it already came up in conversation earlier today.
And so I personally would have been surprised to not see Rudy on the list.
But what surprises me about it is that it's number two on the list.
Oh, do I get points for that?
You sure do.
You get 19 points right out of the gate. You've got, you know, 20s the most you can get in any one round and you
got 19 so congratulations for knowing about rudy i still question why everybody thinks it's such a
great football movie because it celebrates it celebrates uh mediocre and mediocre yes
couldn't agree more.
So maybe everybody's just a real fantasy football situation that people just go, wow, if only I could be a kid
that plays in one play and gets carted around
on everybody's shoulders like he did something good.
And Vince Vaughn is there along with Jon Favreau.
All right.
I don't know if that's where they met, but probably.
Yeah.
Carlos,
it's your turn.
Name any football movie and hope
that it's on the list.
The higher,
the better, I like to say.
Super old school.
It's the
movie they based on. I think it was like the Dallas Cowboys
or some shit like that.
It was like
North 40 Dallas or North something
Dallas.
Is that close?
I prefer answers where you know the name of the movie,
but
I will tell you that you're
super close on that one.
North is...
Is North like 40...
Is it 44?
It's something like 70...
I think you don't know the name of this movie.
No, it's old.
It's hella old.
Yeah, it's Nick Nolte
Mac Davis
yeah I think it was
probably based on a book it was popular
but
can you think of another football movie
if you can't come up with the right
exact title for that one
okay another football movie
another one
the Marky Mark movie
Invincible what's that called Invincible right that's Invincible Okay, another movie. Another one. The Marky Mark movie.
Invincible. What's that called?
Invincible, right?
That's Invincible.
Invincible with Marky Mark.
His character name is Vince.
Yeah.
That's why the movie's called Invincible, because he's easy to get inside of.
Bull.
And it is on the list. Congratulations, carlos it's number 16 on the top 20
football movies according to edub and that's worth five points you are on the board
still anybody's game eliza what have you got what have you been thinking you've been listening um well i mean
i know so many right it's hard to choose yeah so i'm i'm gonna double back and say friday night
lights good answer i don't think it's a terrible answer at all no that's what i was gonna say next
yeah cory was ready to swipe that one up but thank
God you got to it first Eliza
it is number four on
the list
and it's worth a whopping
17 points now you're only
two points behind
Corey
thanks to good old Friday night
lights I thought it was about
this is a real Rudy situation for me I thought it was about... This is a real Rudy situation for me.
I thought it was about kids who were scared of the dark on Fridays.
You know, like latchkey kids, the parents stay out late.
When did you realize that it wasn't?
Were you already in the movie theater?
They need nightlights.
Okay.
Corey.
Your turn once again.
Do not make a mistake here because you've got to maintain your lead.
Let's go with a movie that it's funny.
I don't know if a lot of people even it is a football movie, but it's more a love movie.
Oh, a love movie. Yeah, it's more a love movie. Oh, a love movie.
Yeah, it's more a love movie.
It actually spawned one of the greatest country songs of the 90s,
You Had Me From Hello by Kenny Chesney.
He wrote that song after seeing this movie
and then ended up marrying Renee Zellweger, ironically.
And that is the movie based on i believe it's drew
rosenhouse the nfl shark agent that is jerry mcguire okay first of all is moving forward i
don't need so much information about the film hey don't you love movies motherfucker i thought you loved them i do
it was also crafted by what you were talking about but i didn't know i swear to you because
i'm not you know obviously maybe not obviously but i'm not a country western music fan per se
so i didn't it wasn't even i was just learning just now that there's a song called you had me hello yeah yeah kenny chestney wrote it
in the 90s that seems like some top tier stalker shit to get together yeah like he wrote that song
because he had a crush on her right like he just he just liked the line he just liked the line
you know he just likes when a move when a screenwriter gives him a great line
for a song yeah he doesn't have to do dick yeah exactly and then they ended up getting divorced
and the rumor was is that it was irreconcilable differences and in the country music uh business
the uh rumor was like that kenny chestney's gay i don't know if i believe that but you know
whatever is that the rumor about every popular
country artist? Of course it is.
Of course it is. You know what you like
something? What if it's gay?
What if it's gay?
They say that Travis Kelsey is gay
for dating Taylor Swift
because that's gay.
That one's amazing.
That's a really wild stretch.
Yeah.
He must be gay if he's dating that i don't know if enough people like even think about jerry like again i know it's
a football movie but it's more about the the innards of football you know well that's why
i think that it did so well in this particular list because it kind of,
you know,
it's the,
it's the football movie that everybody can go,
Oh,
I,
at least I like one football movie. Cause as you say,
you know,
there's football in it,
but not,
not much,
not much football.
It's mostly about being shown the money of football,
correct?
Yeah.
It's about being shown the money.
And it's about,
you know,
corporate America and all that, all And it's about, you know, corporate America
and all that jazz.
So, you know, it's kind of an office
comedy at the beginning.
So, it is
number one on the list.
Get the fuck out of here.
Nice. Yeah, that's what
happens when you put Jonathan McNichie
in your football movie.
Not in your vampire movies.
I think subconsciously, that's why I thought about it.
Because earlier you had said, back when a hot Jonathan Lipnicki.
I swear to God, that's why I thought about it.
I swear he got little vampire off the heat of Jerry McClark.
Oh my God.
Oh my God. Oh, my God.
That made that kid huge.
Okay, so Corey is really killing it.
We need for Carlos and Eliza to really put some points on the board here.
We've had a little time to think about it, Carlos.
Have you thought of another film that has football in it?
Yeah.
So this one sparked the song from Big Daddy Kane.
And the craft services that was at this movie was also inspired by.
No, I got to do a little strategic moves.
So I'm going to say a movie that might be on there twice because it has been remade and it's The Longest Yard.
There you go.
Al Ruddy produced.
OK, hang on a second.
I know you love Al Ruddy, Corey, but you don't have to bring him up every time.
There's a trick to this one, and you stepped right into it, Carlos.
You pointed out that the film was made twice.
So now you have to tell me which one you think is on the list.
Is it the one from 1974 or 2005?
This is just Carlos.
Just to answer that question.
I'm saying there's two of them.
I'm not telling you where either of them landed,
either on the list or off of it.
Even if they're both on, they'll have a different point value.
Yes.
I was trying to get all the points.
I was trying to get double points on one go.
Oh, that is fun. I wish I devised it that way
But unfortunately you have to pick
Which one of the two
I'm going to go old school Burt Reynolds
I'm going to go old school Burt Reynolds
That's my boy
You're going Burt Reynolds
1974
Longest yard
That is Number 8 on the list.
Nice.
There you go.
Congratulations.
That's some big points there.
That's 13 points.
It's getting you in range.
Eliza's already got 17 points.
So if you, Eliza, could pick another one that's up there you could really give cory a
run for his money you could show him his money and then run with it okay um what were the ones
that people said at the beginning oh earlier in the show hey i can't help you that way. I do.
Waterboy.
Hey, damn you. That's what's cracking me up.
Is that Cory hasn't gone for Waterboy?
Well, I was trying to win.
I know there's a lot of football movies with days of the week in them,
but I'm going to count on this Waterboy choice instead.
Waterboy.
I like it.
It's number 14 on the list.
Really?
And it's worth, yes, Waterboy gets seven more points for Eliza Skinner.
Oh, boy.
Anybody who wins this thing, Corey,
you've got to cement your lead here by coming up with a good one.
Okay, let's go with the first football.
One of my favorites and the first one that I ever whooped it to on VHS,
Varsity Blues.
Oh, nice.
You spanked yourself?
Yeah, because of the hot for teacher uh scene
uh we had it on v you know we had it on vhs my buddy uh jared his older brother he was just a
couple years older than us but he was in high school so he had all the cool stuff you know
and uh he had this vhs and he's like yo there's a scene where the teacher, you know, they find out she's a stripper. And buddy, we wore that some bitch out.
I give it a 10.
I give it a 10.
A fucking 10.
Yeah.
And I ended up, God rest that dude's soul.
I ended up taking acting lessons from him a couple of times.
And yeah, I'll go with Varsity Blues.
A wonderful acting turn there from John Voight and James Van Der Beek
and all those guys.
Varsity Blues.
It's an intense movie.
It's great.
It's almost like Friday Night Lights in the way that it kind of highlights
the danger and the obnoxiousness of your typical football players.
Best line in the movie,
she looks like she fell off the i want to suck your dick
tree and hit every branch on the way down oh man that's just you know that is just take it's bad
enough to say she fell out of the pretty tree but then to add that extra disgusting element. Dude, come on. It's great. It's great.
I like when he's like, I don't want your laugh.
I don't want your... Yeah, dude. The Texas accents in there
are insane.
It's brutal.
But it's a
great movie if you
enjoy whipped cream, right?
Isn't that the end of the scene?
Bikini?
Yep.
A movie's got it all.
It's got something for everybody.
Sure does.
Does it?
Especially jokes.
We probably should let the woman talk right now.
Does it?
Okay.
Well, Paul Walker was there.
He was in it.
It doesn't. I was being sarcastic.
Okay, Carlos, what do you think uh could possibly wait did did did was that on the
list you didn't say oh i apologize because uh i i don't want you to get any more points
so i'm not gonna tell you no it's number 10 on the list
of the greatest football movies uh and so it was worth 11 points which uh you know
brings you to a pretty staggering number i'm not gonna call it right now but i feel like it's
looking pretty good number at this point it's right it's it's really close to unbeatable
mathematically okay yeah mathematically and also just ethically.
But no one else deserves to win.
But Carlos, let's get some more points on the board just for the hell of it.
What do you think for your third guess?
All right. I have, okay, I'm mulling over the replacements right now.
And Little Giants and the, I got little giants and the i gotta remember the dallas
the north north dallas 40 is that what it is yes it's called north dallas 40 okay okay i'm gonna
go old school i'm gonna go with that one then yeah yeah now that i got it now that i got it
right yeah now that you finally got it i'm glad that we made the effort because it didn't make
the list at all that was the other one I had written down.
When Carlos was stumbling through it,
I was like, well, if he gets it right,
he's still not going to get any points.
But I'm glad you figured it out
just for your own mental health.
I think it was like number...
Because it's a really long list.
I think they go five or ten more than 20. So I think it was like number like it's because it's a really long list. I think they go five or 10 more than 20.
So I think it was acknowledged.
So it was a decent pick, but just not in the top 20.
Eliza, what do you think for your final guess?
I think, you know, we're getting down to the dregs of the football movies I know.
And I feel like 10 years ago, The Blindside would have been on this list.
Oh, good choice.
But I've been, I don't, I'm not sure it would be now.
So I'm going to go back to my original choice on the show, Concussion.
There we go.
show concussion there we go yeah i i'm so proud of you because no you you you uh eliminated blindside accurately this list was written by the way uh last uh fall or winter so uh you you know
probably when football season was getting started and um uh so blindside, of course, has been blindsided by reality.
And finding out that that family was not exactly what was planned.
Yeah, the guy's in like a conservatorship or something, right?
Yes.
No, it was really not a good situation.
Following up the Free Britney with we don't like Blindside anymore movement.
Yeah.
movement yeah so uh and then also just it's so funny to me how well a movie about concussions and how dangerous football is is even on this list at all because it's not celebrating football
in any way uh but not only is it on the list it is number three oh oh nice i gotta watch that
when eliza said it earlier in the show because i was like oh man
i didn't think anyone would even think of this movie i mean i worked for totally biased this
is where i come into the room oh did you really that shit oh dude i love your work oh thank you
i really do that's awesome i'm not worthy of being here with you. Oh, you definitely are.
No.
Yeah, Corey.
You're winning this game.
Yeah, but you won the game, but Eliza brought it close with merely eight points behind you.
So that's very impressive play.
Woke logic I got.
Yeah, exactly.
Hey, for real, though, I love what y'all do that is so awesome
i mean it hasn't been on for for like a decade well no i know that but like i just i was a big
i was a big fan like that you know y'all recorded it so oh well thank you did you like when i was
on doing movie reviews yeah i'm sorry doug i got, you remember that Hugh Grant was in it too.
Yes.
All right.
So I just peed on myself,
Doug.
I forgot where I was.
Everybody wants to know what movies you missed.
What is on this Philly list?
So let me break it down for you uh number 20 everybody forgot about remember the titans oh yeah but it's only worth one point so why mess with it
uh number 19 uh is carlos that's carlos's jam because it's the other, it's the Adam Sandler longest yard is number 19 on the list.
Adam Sandler was in that too.
That guy must like football.
Yeah, he's done at least two football movies,
and he tends to play characters who are athletes a lot,
like Happy Gilmore.
What did he play?
Some people will say golfers aren't athletes,
but in Happy gilmore
he was he was a hockey player too oh okay yeah yeah okay uh so number 18 is the most depressing
uh football movie made of all time what's that called glory what song it has to be i apologize
it's the second most depressing um football movie ever made Let me put it this way. It's depressing at the beginning, whereas Brian's song is depressing at the end.
It's a movie called We Are Marshall.
Oh, We Are Marshall.
Oh, no, that was a happy movie.
If you don't like Marshall.
Oh, that's horrible.
And if you like plane crashes.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
and if you like plane crashes yeah yeah uh and then number 17 and you know i allowed it because uh you know i just went with whatever they said but they went off off the rails here because
brian's song is in fact a tv movie right so i really don't like to include those but it is also a classic. So it was number 17. And then Invincible was 16.
15, Ice Cube in The Long Shots.
Oh, man.
The Long Shots.
Oh, okay.
Directed by Fred Durst.
What?
No shit.
Dude, you know what, man?
The Limp Bizkit guy made a movie and people like it.
Yeah, he actually did a couple of those i
feel like i remember a couple years ago he had like an indie darling or something that i mean
if he's directing why not hire him he must come cheap yeah no he does everything for the nookie
what he does everything for the nookie yeah yeah the craft service table is just a bunch of cookies and biscuits. You don't want to see what he does with them.
Hot dog water.
Number 14 was Waterboy.
And
number 13
was a movie that
is often described as schmaltzy.
I don't remember it very well,
but it was called The Express.
I don't remember.
I think it was Dennis Quaid was in that, I think.
I don't remember.
Number 12, Corey, you mentioned it earlier in the show
and then didn't bring it back.
Draft Day.
My buddy W. Earl Brown.
It's a good movie.
It is a good movie.
Number 11, I think somebody needs to apologize for because it is that movie that debuted on Apple TV starring Justin Timberlake called Palmer.
Yeah, I've seen that. It keeps coming up in my feed and I'm like, it looks like it looks like a rip off of We Are Marshall because he's just wearing the same color.
So I didn't know it was. I don't know.
Yeah, I think I saw it, but I obviously unmemorable.
And then number nine is school ties.
What?
No idea.
I didn't even know football was what they played.
I just picture a locker room and anti-Semitism.
Yeah, me too.
I don't even remember locker room stuff.
Yeah.
Well, maybe you're thinking of family ties.
Oh, yes.
No.
Number seven.
You mentioned days of the week, Eliza.
Number seven is Any Given Sunday.
I love that movie,
but critics shit on it. It's not good i'm gonna spend the longest sunday and no it's not good but it's fun because pacino's full pacino being a
fucking lunatic it's all really ramped up like the the hits out on the football field are really loud
and yeah it's like yeah it's very bombastic and uh than fantastic. And then number six is, I'd say it might be my favorite movie on the list.
Warren Beatty plays a football player who dies in Heaven Can Wait.
Never seen it.
From the 70s.
You should check it out sometime.
It's really good.
You're going to watch it tonight, Doug, because I respect you.
Oh, awesome.
He co-directed
it with elaine may and uh yeah and um stress dreams about this buck henry was in there what
he co-directed with buck henry and co-wrote with elaine may or or you know something some
combination like that and uh we got lots of oscar uh love and uh it's really good it's basically
it's a remake of here comes Mr.
Jordan and the premises,
you know,
a guy gets,
goes to heaven and they go,
oops,
we fucked up and,
you know,
brought the wrong,
we killed the wrong guy.
And he's like,
well,
okay,
put me back.
And they're like,
oh,
your butt,
you know,
it's too late to put you in your,
you know,
the body's dead or whatever.
He can't put you back.
We can put you back into another body.
So he takes over some other guy's body.
I love that. diane cannon and uh
yeah it's really it's got a stacked cast julie christie and um it's really good okay
this is a trip so it's like it's just a movie that it's just basically like movies that have
football in them a little bit because oh no no. You might as well say Sleepers.
The guy basically gets put in the body of a rich dude,
and then this rich dude seems crazy because he buys a football team and insists on being the quarterback.
Oh, okay.
Nobody's ever heard of the guy before, you know?
So it's really –
I've got to check that out.
It's very entertaining.
And he was murdered by his wife, I should mention.
So then when the other guy comes back to lie, it's crazy. Okay. entertaining um and he was murdered he was murdered by his wife i should mention so then
when the other guy comes back to lie it's crazy okay so uh the number five is a movie i've never
heard of and uh it was made for television again for for the tnt network and it's called
monday night mayhem no idea Yeah. Another day of the week.
Yeah.
But, you know, somebody guessed it.
It would have been worse than points.
But as it turns out, Corey remains triumphant once again.

It's good to know people in your neighborhood. I know we all kind of hate it, but
they might they might have something in common with you. Know the people around you.
I know we all kind of hate it, but they might have something in common with you.
Know the people around you.

I disagree with it, but I respect you for saying it.
Hey, even if you need to know them because they might murder somebody, you know, you want to be able to get them out of a police lineup.
