Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby 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 Leap Years. This is Doug Loves Leap Years, recording on Thursday, February 29th, 2024. Leap Day, if you will. My guests today are a newbie and two oldbies, one of whom is a current champion. They are Corey Ryan Forrester. Wouldn't that be funny if that was it? Just three people with one name.

Joe Quasala and Caitlin Palufo. Hey, everybody. Hey, hello. Hey, let's meet y'all individually and alphabetically by first name. So that means first up is our first timer is Caitlin Palufo. Hey, Caitlin. Hey, thanks for having me. This is exciting. Happy New Year.

Happy New Year. Happy leap year. Happy all of it. This is exciting. It is. This is New Year and leap year both. I can't. I got so much to say.

Yeah. When greeting people just for this one day. It's a mouthful. Great job on After Midnight a few nights ago. Did you enjoy doing that? Oh, thank you. I had so much fun. I've never been on a show where they just want you to be a silly goose.

And luckily, that's the only thing I know how to do well. So it was good. It's so much fun, like doing so much ad-libbing, because it's like such a drag trying to clear material ahead of time. It's so much more fun to just say it, and then you find out if it got in or not, you know, when the show comes on. Absolutely. It was so much better. I didn't have to worry about cursing because they were like eh who cares we'll bleep it out i was like oh thank god because girls got a potty mouth so it was exciting to have that weight lifted but it was fun it was so fun yeah it was a super fun episode to watch and i you know i have friends at the show who said that uh they had a lot of

material to choose from because like everybody uh was uh hilarious for like way longer than the runtime of the tv show so uh yeah we kept everyone there for like an hour and a half i felt bad yeah yeah uh but that's you know i mean Minutes goes by pretty fast with that show, I think, especially when everybody's being so hilarious. What song was it that you all burst into at one point? Oh, it was Oasis. That's right. Wonderwall. There we go. Yeah. Don't say Sloan was not too familiar with it.

No, not familiar at all. Yeah, exactly. They're so white, they're British. Thank you for being here. Let's meet our other two competitors who have been on the show before, one of whom is

an ongoing champ. It's Corey Ryan Forrester. Hey, Corey. Hey, Doug. How are you? Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you. I'm glad it's catching on.yan forester hey cory hey doug how are you happy new year happy new year to you i'm glad it's catching on i hope you're saying it to everybody i have been much to their chagrin yeah people probably really look at you sideways uh saying that shit in the south like what is this guy some sort of is he being sarcastic or what what is going on here yeah i'm already looked at weird enough in my hometown and that doesn't help they're like is he celebrating the

chinese new year i knew he was a communist oh right chinese he's so he's gone lunar on us he's a lunar loon in our town so uh ll howL, how many times have you won now in a row? I want to say this is like five or six. Oh, my goodness. So many we can't even keep track. Well, I can't count because of where I'm from geographically, but also I have a bad memory. But, Doug, I got to tell you i i have a feeling that this is the one

i i'm going down today i don't feel good about it i i know this is the end i have said this every single week but i truly feel it in my bones there's no way i'm winning today well i have to say that i brought in you know what to to me was an unknown quantity with Caitlin. You know, now after seeing how competitive you were, Caitlin, on After Midnight, I am feeling what Corey's talking about. And like you are going to be some competition today. And then Joe is somewhat of a ringer because he's been on the show before. Did great. Let's just go ahead and introduce him since we're talking about him uh he's been on the show before did great let's just go ahead and introduce him since we're talking about him like he's not here uh welcome back to the show

joe quazala hey joe hey doug thanks for having me happy march happy march zero uh i guess we would call it yeah we're getting right into it because that's when the episode comes out is uh march 1st is when people could start listening to it and um i'm trying to remember the stats like what happened during your uh i know you were at the brea improv yes the cavernous brea improv one of the largest comedy clubs uh in the world it seemed like. Yeah, and that's where Guy Branum came in late, I think. That's correct. That's correct. Yeah, Guy came in late. And, you know, as your listeners know, Guy is a formidable opponent in the games.

But I would like to say I put up quite a fight. And we were going back and forth on naming Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep and or Meg Ryan movies. Wow, but you don't remember the loss at all. You walked away from it and you don't know the details. I like to think that I won over the crowd.

I think you did. You won over me as well and so I'm happy to have you back and I think you will be uh some strong competition today that was also the episode where uh tom takara suddenly just broke down and was no longer like he had previously been on the show a bunch of times and he but he never uh uh wiped out that hard like he really just lost his nerve or something you and a guy the combination he couldn't he couldn't handle it yeah i think he was pretty intimidated by me specifically

i'm gonna go with that narrative your hairy face and guy's bald head were just too much for for poor tom to car uh to handle but of course, he's always welcome back. And thank you again to all three of you for joining me this afternoon. And before we do our regular segment called Recommendation Nation, I've got some standing business to take care of from the Corrections Department.

Tilda Swinton was not in The life aquatic with steve zizou yeah i snuck that one by everybody we're playing less uh person standing and um uh i floated that out there because you know tilda swinton is in many wes anderson movies but uh i wasn't sure, but I just threw it out. Like I knew what I was talking about. And some listener complained and hence we brought in the corrections department.

You don't, nobody, none of my guests need to comment on, on none of my business. I mean, I was going to say, this is none of my business i mean i was good for you does it go like on a radio show or a podcast and they talk on and on about stuff that has nothing to do with you and you're just kind of sitting there like yeah throw me the ball and i'm here to participate i was gonna say that like it

does feel like that tilda swinton was in spirit in that movie. I would have totally believed it. Agreed. We got Blanchett. The person that called me out on it went, you're thinking of Cate Blanchett. And it's like, no, I wasn't thinking of Cate. I don't mistake those two actresses. I was saying Tilda Swinton because Tilda Swinton will just swoop in for one or two scenes

in most Wes Anderson movies. You can't mistake Tilda Swinton for somebody else. I don't think that's possible. No. It's like the only person I can think of who maybe looks a little bit like Tilda Swinton is Wes Anderson.

Right? Yeah. They're the only analogous figures. Yeah, I like it. Okay, so now let's do recommendation nation that's where i ask each of my guests to recommend uh one movie and since he's been on so frequently lately uh i bet you cory's already this question is not a surprise uh so let's have cory go ahead and go first and just recommend a movie it It's not a surprise to me, Doug.

I've been thinking about it all day, but unfortunately, between the last episode and now, as I've told you, my watching habits are different because I have a child that I watch all day. So I haven't been I haven't watched a new movie since then. So I would like to throw a little shine on this independent movie that my my one year old son has. He's he's really fallen in love with. I've been showing it to him the past week. We've been re-watching it. Not a lot of people have heard about it. The Dark Knight.

He's a huge fan. It's become our comfort movie, one that I just throw on during the day when I'm tired of watching his bullshit. And he really enjoys it, man. An unknown, not talked about performance from the late great heath ledger it's a tremendous uh triumph in film and i suggest everyone goes and sees it your one-year-old is gonna grow up to be pretty sketchy i think because you have no idea like we found out the other day i was watching some movie. I can't remember because I keep I keep asking everybody.

I was like, hey, what's the age when they click on and they can start like when shit starts affect them? Because I know like right now he's just seeing colors and stuff. But like the other day we were watching some movie and some dude was just murdering the shit out of a guy with a machete. And my son was laughing his ass off and i know it was just like the action and the sound but like it was his favorite thing and he loves action movies where people are getting their ass whooped so yeah you're probably right very violent uh child but thank you for opening our eyes to this unheralded gem. Which is a movie that for me gets better and worse every time I see it.

The things I like about it tend to get better, and the things that I don't like about it tend to get worse. Yeah, there's a couple things. It's one of my favorite bits in the Lego Batman movie when the Joker just gets totally roasted about the whole two boats thing in Dark Knight. The thing that I noticed this particular go around was I was like, okay, Bruce, why are you doing the Batman voice when it's just you and Lucius Fox? He knows, dude. I love that one. Yeah. He'll do i love that one yeah he'll do it with lucius and he'll do it when he's just by himself because there's that one scene where uh cat i gotta take a shit suddenly

disappears yeah cat woman disappears and he goes now i know what that feels like like he's fucking jim on the office and he knows he's being filmed. Yeah. Shrugging. Yeah, so the movie's got some silliness. I was reminded also of the fact that Two-Face is in the hospital bed and Joker comes in pretending to be a nurse and he's got a mask over his mouth

but his eyes are still completely made up and silly looking. And he doesn't recognize him until he takes the mask off. Well, I think that's good in world building because they have to sell the fact that in that world, people can't recognize you if they can only see part of your face. You know what I mean? It's a problem in Gotham City. Yeah.

Everyone has this weird vision. Like Bruce Wayne's closest friends wouldn't recognize his mouth. It's a problem in Gotham City. Yeah. Everyone has this weird vision. Like nobody, like Bruce Wayne's closest friends wouldn't recognize his mouth. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Clark Kent wanders in there. He's like, all I got to do is put on glasses.

Yeah, exactly. This is wild. Okay, Caitlin. So The Dark Knight, probably still in the top 10 grossing movies of all time. It's a lot to go up against, but please recommend one movie. Okay. Well, recently I rewatched a film, The Little Giants. Do we remember The Little Giants? I mean, I watched it.

I really identified growing up with Becky O'Shea, the tomboy who wanted to play football, but then had to start her own team because she couldn't enjoy the other football because she was a girl. All right. I rewatched it. And a lot of times these movies don't hold up because you're like, oh, God, they're going to be super racist or whatever. And it holds up.

Yeah, great. The greatest play. It's sweet. It's kind. The greatest play greatest play yes the annexation of puerto rico yes rick moran do you know what they're talking about uh no i at this point i am my if you could see me my eyes have uh rolled in the back of my head and i'm just thinking about uh heaven is that is that uh tom arnold is he in that no no it's uh ed o'neill oh okay okay yeah i'm confusing it with i yeah there's like so many movies that are that that have that uh that sort of vibe to them and that uh you know

the uh actor playing like the coach of a bunch of unruly and so Rick Moranis obviously would be the best reason to watch it. He's great. And I do love Ed O'Neill so this might be worth a revisit. You've got me on the hook for this because I don't remember liking it the first time around, but I was just a dumb kid. Yeah. What did I know?

As a tomboy, it really resonated. And then I had to watch it for I was doing a different podcast. So I rewatched it. I was like, oh, no, it's going to be like the ladybugs with what's his name? Yeah. With Rodney Dangerfield. Rodney Dangerfield was like the most sexist with uh what's his name yeah with rodney dangerfield rodney dangerfield world's like the most sexist most racist film in the world you're like why did i ever like this

but then you watch the little giants and you're like oh this is pure joy and it's got a great message it's wonderful i agree i recommend it everybody should watch it everyone should watch with their kids too it's like one way or another if you you're a famous comedy star, you're going to have to make a movie where, you know, it's, you have to deal with a bunch of kids for some reason. No. Yes.

You know, it's just a given with your kindergarten cops and your pacifiers and whatnot. Just any, but as soon as somebody becomes famous, they're like, what kind of team could they coach? Yeah. Give them a whistle.

Let's figure this out put a dog on the team and it's literally their best movie like you know will ferrell's kicking and screaming it's pretty uh forgettable uh okay so sorry will ferrell he listens so now i feel bad uh joe what do you think uh i mean what rec what movie would you like to recommend you know i i uh recently felt like i got the honor and uh you know to see a movie in the theater that i didn't think was ever going to be in a theater because it had been released on disney plus but it's the pixar movie turning red which you know disney has been been putting their old movies out in the theater, kind of without fanfare.

But I noticed that, and I had never seen it, and I was like, oh, this would be great to see this in a theater. And it was. I thought it was really funny, really fun, cute, sentimental. Yeah, turning red. I'm into it. Yeah, and strangely modern, too, because of the whole, I mean, I know boy bands have kind of evolved into a different thing these days than like, you know, NSYNC and Backstreet Boys used to be, you know, now there's like 14 members of each boy band, but the hysteria that teenage girls have for any kind of pop idol is timeless, but also in this particular movie makes it feel more uh more current than most

disney fair yeah and all that stuff is really funny with the with the boy band uh and them losing their minds uh and because it's it takes place in the early 2000s uh so it's it's a it's a bit of a period piece uh and so that kind of aesthetic makes sense yeah really like legitimately funny not like funny for a kids movie yeah I definitely wish I had seen it in a theater because I definitely Disney plus that shit you know when that

happened but I was I was I was into it you know it was kind of got that you know feel like it got kind of like a fanboy backlash for being too much about girls, you know. Too bad. Really too bad. Yeah, exactly. It's a goddamn kids movie.

I can't imagine how exhausting these fuckers lives have to be. You know what I mean? Like, god damn, bro. Yeah. No, it is funny how upset they can be about it. Like, what's happening to pixar uh more inclusivity and they just prove the point that little girls definitely need a movie that's for them you know what i mean yeah exactly like you're helping the cause here yeah it doesn't uh

it doesn't hurt to make and and hey let's take it up a notch let's make something for girls that uh anybody who isn't a girl either adults or or men or boys might also get to enjoy it right you know because that's sort of what happened with barbie is i was about to say men just got sort of forced to go and then went oh okay you know they either liked it or you know but anybody who hated it i'm just like well why you seem like you were hate watching right you don't make a billion dollars if only 51 of people are gonna like your shit yeah that's very true oh cory you 51 percenter that's true uh we got to uh thanks for your recommendations we got to take our first break, but we'll be right back. Hey, we're back. And the first game we're going to play today is a brand new one that I made up.

And it's called A Likely Corey. I will say a title. I will say a title. You tell me if that's a movie that's got Corey Feldman in it or Corey Haim or neither. Caitlin will get to guess first. If Caitlin misses, then Corey gets a crack at it. And if Corey misses, then Joe will land in a nice spot. He'll get the gimme point whenever somebody gets a point when the next person gets to go first first person at three points wins did all of that

make sense to you caitlin yes you're up first okay tell me if this is feldman hame you were you a fan of those boys or you know no are you familiar with them i um i gotta say i missed that by a few years so i don't know much about them so they're like they're just from the past to you yes they are boys from the past that probably have since done fentanyl and now do not so uh that's what i know about them right yeah one of them kicked the drugs in time the other one didn't and uh so it's a sad story that joke okay i thought you were just going for it it was edgy extremely edgy it was unintentionally edgy and i will think about it for the rest of this podcast. There's been enough time.

It's fine. It wasn't fentanyl. So there's one thing. But it was Corey Haim is no longer with us. And this is also just going to maybe help you with the game, knowing the difference between that Corey Haim is no longer with us. Corey Feldman is with us. So here, this is just for Caitlin.

She's the only one that can guess on this. Gets the first guess. So, you know, it's one out of three. So, you know, I made a lot of things multiple choice in this show so that anybody can get something right. And especially anybody that's

not familiar with the oeuvre of Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. I don't think this could have started worse, but yes. I'm glad you get a guess first. This is good. You can really, we'll see what you do with this. Good, okay. Which one or neither neither as in a movie called The Ugly Bug

Ball? The Ugly Bug Ball? The Ugly Bug Ball. I'm going to say Feldman. You're going Feldman as in The Ugly Bug Ball?

Yes. Final answer. Oh, God. Incorrect. I'm so sorry. Corey. Dang it. Is that a hame or a neither?

I'm going to go neither. Just knowing how your brain works. Probably wrong. But I've never heard of the ugly bug ball. I'm just going to go neither, just knowing how your brain works. Probably wrong, but I've never heard of the ugly bug ball. I'm just going to go with neither. Okay. You locked in on that one? Locked in.

That is correct. Hey. It is neither. Joe, were you thinking neither? Yeah. Okay. So the listeners may have caught on to this. The Ugly Bug Ball isn't even a movie.

It's a song in a movie. It's a movie from Disney called Summer Magic. And at one point, for some reason, the guy who is also the snowman and uh rudolph's right now's reindeer uh he sings burl lives burl lives he sings the uh yeah i should have known like the guy in the south would know that he sings uh he sings the ugly bug ball to some kids to cheer him up or something and uh it's always to me just been it's just such a funny title that I use it whenever I can. And so congratulations, Corey, for sussing that one out. Joe, you're up first. All right.

On this next one. Here we go. Haim Feldman or neither. Meatballs four. Oh, Lord. Meatballs. I didn't even know. Who knew they went that deep i don't know you could have

that many meatballs it seems four four chapters my goodness oh wow that's a lot of meatballs yeah so what do you think is it feldenham or neither i uh i will say in a part of me is like are are you making up another movie? That's what I honestly not making meatballs for that would be devious. And I, I don't I don't want to believe that you would be up to such trickery, especially with a franchise that we honor with our whole hearts. I'm going to say,

Hey, you're going for, Hey yeah why not i'll tell you why not because it's wrong okay caitlin yes feldman or neither feldman that is correct you did it brutal i did it i don't know how you did it, but you are on the board. I mean, I think I know how she did it. She said the other Corey. It could have been either, though. You're really onto something with me making up a Meatballs 4.

I personally, I never saw Meatballs 4. I believe Corey Feldman is in Meatballs 2, which I did see, and is a very dumb movie, but kind of fun. Cause it's got, uh, Paul Rubens is in it, uh, as a character that's not Peewee, but might as well,

you know, close enough. But, um, but yeah, meatballs for, I think Feldman, like maybe cameos in that one or something just to,

you know, just to legitimize it for the meatball fans. Uh, cause yeah, cause people don't remember anybody from that, you know, the first meatballs except for Bill Murray, so he's the only real value there. I mean, if they made a Meatballs 5 and got Bill Murray to participate, that could be the greatest thing ever.

I'd see it. For now, I'm just going to be content with him putting on the Ghostbusters outfit again for no good reason. All right, Corey, you're up again for no good reason. Alright, Corey, you're up first in this next round. Oh boy. Feldman, Haim, or neither, a movie called,

an alleged movie called She's Too Tall. Oh, Haim. I love the pain. Because I know it. Oh, Haim. I love the pain in your ass. Because I know it's fucking made up.

Haim is not correct. When it comes to Joe. When it comes to me, I'm going to say neither. You're going neither? Yeah. Throwing that point to Haim my god how on earth am i winning this game because you just sat back and just did what you needed to do which was nothing oh man god this is a bad that this is a bad sign this means that bullies win well hold on caitlin still has to answer that's true it's true don't recap what was that which is go ahead the one where that

that was left yeah let's see if you have to pull it though if i have to imagine do you really i have to say it yes you have to say uh let me remind you what the answers are god damn no no no no no no no he has to i can ask i can ask him to remind me uh no i just uh yeah i think it's fair to i I already gave her the point because you know, I thought it was too impossibly easy. Kangaroo court. Yeah. Corey and I were demanding to hear Caitlin say the answer.

Yeah, the options were I didn't know that there was more than one carrying It's the last thing that begins with H or the last thing that begins with F or neither were the options. And then, yeah, I believe it's the last one, right? There you go.

You got it. Now it's legitimate. Now it's a justice. Okay, sir. It's a justice is a process, not a result. All right. Understand. I'm sorry.

No, no, no. Don't apologize. You got it right. You did it. You're fine. You did the right thing. I can't see your faces. I can't tell if you're serious or not.

I'm still thinking about my fentanyl joke. Yeah, we're real serious. Not unlike the movie I recommended, I am turning red. I'm turning bright red. We have all not stopped frowning since your mean joke about a boy you never even uh you're not even familiar with um reggie nielsen was the star of she's too tall actually she's you know super tall and um uh yeah i guess cory felden was like you know somebody trying to help her find a man or something he was there for scale like yeah he was that's probably what he got paid as well

but he um this was around 1998 i think but oh right way way later than i would have thought yeah i don't remember for both of them yes yeah exactly uh okay he's too tall. They're too late. Corey is up first. Corey gets to go first on this next one. Haim Feldman or neither. My life as a troll. My life as a troll. Oh,

God damn it. You haven't done neither Damn it. Fucking. You haven't done neither in a while. Is your hand in a vice and you're making it tighter? No, I was putting my hands were literally over my face. I'm going to. You're torturing yourself. I'm going to get because this game is so goddamn stupid but i'm still competitive and

i need to win i'm gonna go with neither you're saying neither feldman or hame is in my life as a troll yes because again i i'm defaulting to you're making shit up that's incorrect it's a real movie uh so joe which one do you think it is feldman or hame uh this sounds like a hame joint god damn it it's feldman jesus christ you won a likely cory congratulations oh thank you so much this is thrilling oh my god i had such fun titles left to go to uh to recap there were no there were no hames in in that round correct yeah no hames uh ever i did i didn't write down a single hame movie because you know

i thought there's gonna be enough dark humor as it is the less his name came up in the answers probably the better i see um but uh i also made up another one the next one was going to be i made up a movie called chimp fever i've got that and then felden made a real movie in 2009. I don't know what it is, but it sounds so made up. It's called Lucky Fritz. And he doesn't play Fritz. Oh, he does. He's the title character. But then he made another movie, I think in India or something,

where he's not the title character. And it's called Operation Belvis Bash. Belvis? Elvis with a a b so it sounds like bollywood goes to india and teaches some guy how to impersonate elvis but they call him belvis that's my guess of what this story is i don't know for sure but anyway congrats again to caitlin what did you win well you're gonna find out after the break we'll be right back we are back and caitlin won our first game it's so exciting to have you uh you know help me out by appearing on this show and your very first appearance for that kind of result i mean i'm i'm thrilled i'm

absolutely thrilled i've been following feldman's career for years and just for this just for this it's finally paid off yeah it would have been even harder i think for everybody i was contemplating making it uh uhman, Corey Haim, or Marty Feldman. I would have dominated. That would have been really rough. Okay, so Caitlin won our first game. Me and Joe suck.

That's the only way to describe it, yeah. Stop finishing my sentence. That's what I was going to say. No, Caitlin, what you won is just the opportunity to go first in our next and final deciding game of the day. But there is a little bonus. If this one ends up in a tiebreaker, you also get to go first to break the tie.

So you get a little bit of an advantage. And the game, I don't know if my, I know Joe hasn't played it, but maybe Corey has. It's a game called Weird Algorithm. Sure have. You love it. I love it. I give everybody the title of a movie,

and I'll tell you who is listed by IMDb as the top two starring people in the film. But IMDb has this awesome feature. I mean, depending on if you're an actor or not, I guess. It has this awesome feature where you can take the cast list and refine it and click on it and change it to uh they're ranked in order of their current popularity according to the imdb pop star meter algorithm so you know just because somebody's a big star doesn't necessarily mean that they're the most popular person on imdb uh in this moment so i'll tell you the name of a movie i'll tell you you know two people who are in it and but then uh if you can think of anybody else who's in it who you think might rank higher if you guess if your guess is somebody that's the number one build

person you get three points if you get the second build person by popularity, you get two points. And third is worth one point. Every other name is not worth any points. And also, you'll have a chance to not only change your answer, but you can also agree with the other players. You know, and take that risk of getting the same amount of points as somebody else. There ends up being a little bit of a strategy to it, as Corey can tell you. Indeed. So we'll start with Caitlin, then we'll go to Joe,

then we'll go to Corey, and each person gets a chance to go first. And like I said, if there's a tie, then Caitlin will get to go first in the tiebreaker. Caitlin, the first movie is a little motion picture by that guy that did that little Oppenheimer movie. starring Leo DiCaprio and JGL, aka Joseph Gordon. Leave it alone. Leave it be.

Leave it be. That's not a clue. All right. So either those two gentlemen or one of your own that you think of, who do you think would be top billed in Inception? According to today's standards oh god i'm trying to think of who's in that movie i know the guy with the weird face that's also in oppenheimer is in that movie i can't remember his name oh uh weird face mcgee yeah you know it's something irish it's something it's something

murphy murphy yes um if this was like a real game show i'd have to accept murphy i guess so yeah really okay yeah killian murphy is the gentleman's name oh okay um i would say him then because he's in the Oscar race, right? He sure is. He's racing it up right now. He's pretty racy. You want to watch him or call it the other night, a SAG award. He won a thingy, my Bob? He won a mantle piece.

Yeah. Okay. So you go and I'll come back to you. You can have a chance to change it based on what you uh hear from the other players joe who are you thinking would be currently the number one yeah uh i think i don't i don't remember killian murphy being an inception but i want to take caitlin's word for it because i do think he would be quite high because of oppenheimer he's got that weird face he does have a weird face that's true i didn't think that was uh Caitlin's word for it because I do think he would be quite high because of Oppenheimer. He's got that weird face.

He does have a weird face. That's true. I didn't think that was... He's in every Christopher Nolan movie, I think. I'm not positive, but I think he is. He's the dude that they have to go three levels into his brain because his dad's got the energy company. Yes, of course.

He's always playing that role that's why i didn't remember him because they're in his brain right um i'm gonna i'm actually gonna agree with caitlin i think you know he's poised to win an oscar or at least be the lead actor in a movie that wins best picture so i'm gonna agree okay um i'm not gonna cory i'm not gonna hit on a 16 here i'm just gonna agree as well because i i think that's that's gotta be it um you think killian murphy's gotta be number one yeah all this attention he's been getting lately and if he's not I can't name the other ones, so I'd be stupid to try. So I'm going to agree.

All right. So everybody thinks that Killian Murphy would be ranked higher in a popularity poll than Leonardo DiCaprio or Joseph Gordon-Levitt or any of the other losers that are in Inception. I think that he would be higher than Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I don't know about Leonardo DiCaprio, though. Do you want to change your answer, Caitlin, or are you sticking with Killian?

I'm going to go against the grain and go Leonardo DiCaprio. Okay, last-minute switch-up. Let's go to Joe again where do you stand? are you sticking with Killian? I'm sticking with Killian yeah despite that face and I'm kicking with Stillian

oh poor Stillian he's been called Stillian probably as many times as Killian in his life you know what I mean there's too many people who just look at it and just go. What do you think, Story? I'm sticking as well. I'm sticking as well with Mr. Murphy.

Old silly face McGee. It's so harsh. My wife wants him more than any other human being on earth. So I guess lucky for me. Yeah, he's very male model-y but i i also feel like it's funny that he's so popular right now because i thought he was really you know for my straight male uh gaze he uh was pretty good looking in that movie remember red eye oh yeah and peaky, dude. That's when my wife really got, you know, boy, she, I'm telling you.

That brought on the flood? We had to reupholster the couch twice, buddy, between seasons. He also makes a good looking woman in Breakfast on Pluto. Well, hello. Well, you know what? He can do it all. I'm going to do this the suspenseful way. I'm going to tell you who came in third.

And that is Elliot Page. Of course, you know, we're not going to use the dead name that Elliot used back then. But Elliot Page is third top popular, which is nice to see uh number two uh is in fact leonardo dicaprio oh here we go you get two points for that but you probably also sense the bad news yes i got the bad news dang it gillian murphy number one so let's go joe we're mounting a comeback cory we are no longer it's still anybody's game and by anybody i mean uh you know whittled down to the three people who are participating there's not anybody else no one else can run in and uh get involved but uh all right so uh joe you're up first on this next one okay

and again just you know either talk through your your thought processes or uh you know keep it to yourself if you think it's gonna be too helpful to the other players uh it's a motion picture i enjoy uh quite a lot i've seen it a lot of times. It's called The Social Network and it stars Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield as the two men who invented the world's nightmare. We were talking about Oppenheimer a minute ago. Which bomb?

Which detonation is worse? internet or uh you know the social media and facebook or uh the atomic bomb that's for argument on another show uh but uh joe what do you think who who from that film do you think would be super popular today yeah that's a good question i feel like i just had a conversation with someone who was like hey do you think would be super popular today yeah that's a good question i feel like i just had a conversation with someone who was like hey do you remember she was in this movie and i was like oh no i don't remember that and i won't be retaining that information for when i'm on a podcast later because i think it was it was someone amazing someone oh you know what here i'm i'm gonna i remember it now it It's Dakota Johnson.

She is the college student that sleeps with an actor that has not been named, but I'm going to say strategically, I'll keep that out of my mouth, but I'm going to say Dakota Johnson. Okay. Corey? Justin Timberlake. Yeah, I was going to say Justin Timberlake. That is who I wasn't saying strategically yeah is that your answer

Corey? that is my answer yes and Caitlin what do you think have you seen the social network? I saw it a long time ago and I only remember that Justin Timberlake was in it and being like oh that was an odd choice

I can't remember remember that Justin Timberlake was in it and being like, oh, that was an odd choice. I can't remember. Was Natalie Portman in it? If not, she should have been. Yeah, I don't feel confident in that one. So I'm going to go with Justin Timberlake. You like JT as well. Yeah.

Well, I think, actually, no. Dakota is probably more popular right now because of her little spider webby movie. So I'm going to go with Dakota. I like how you prop up other women by talking about their little spider webby movie. Their little spider webby movie. I know you're demeaning it in the way that you would normally demean a movie that's all about men fighting aliens and monsters. I, for one, have respect for the madame. I want to see it. I was disappointed it's not about a superhero brothel.

I want to see it. I was disappointed it's not about a superhero brothel. Okay, so has everybody said somebody? Yeah. Sticking with Justin Timberlake. Let's go. Joe, you're going to stick with DK Johnson? Yes. I am, of course, sticking with Donkey Kong Johnson, yes.

Okay. And, Corey, you still like JT? I do. I do. All right. Bring it sexy back. And Caitlin also is going to cry us a river. No, no, no.

I'm going with Dakota. Oh, okay. Yeah. Then Corey's the only one that's going a river that's right because cory uh your golden boy uh justin did not make the top four at all they just announced new in sync today how the fuck is that possible it's not a movie that ain't a movie bruh I know but it still gets your name trending god damn it I thought I had the fucking man I was like insider trading shit I thought I had something motherfucker no that was good it was a good it was a good poll you know it did it did seem to make sense and you know he probably is pretty far up there I didn't write down where he landed but he's probably fourth or fifth um third is a young actor who i couldn't put my finger on

exactly why he's hot right now but he's always i think he's always good and stuff his name is caleb landry jones and he's got a pretty small part in social network but he's in something that's pretty popular right now that i don't watch i can't remember uh what show it is but then number two is a surprise i've been a pleasant surprise because i think she's a terrific actress but she's just in a couple of scenes in social network runy mara yes she's in like the beginning scene where they're breaking up. Yeah, and I don't know what it is she's up to right now that's got people typing her name into IMDb. But she must be in some movie or TV show

that's getting a lot of attention currently. And then number one, that was a good call, Dakota Johnson. Donkey Kong. Yeah, good old donkey kong that'd be so hard to get that to catch on calling calling that woman yeah somehow would not stick i think yeah but this was her uh yeah she played uh she slept with the napster guy she did more than take a napster with him and um it was her first like her first sort of like, quote unquote, adult movie role. She only played one acting role as a kid in one of her mother's movies, Melanie Griffith.

And that was called Crazy in Alabama. You've done that. I don't remember how big her role it was in that but there you go alright we got one more round so Corey you still have a shot at this but that round did not treat you very well Joe has 6 points Caitlin has 5 and Corey has 3

but Corey you get to go first on this third round good luck the film is Once Upon a Time Corey has three, but Corey, you get to go first on this third round. Okay. Good luck. The film is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Okay. Or if you prefer, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Because the poster and then other places put the ellipses in different spots. And Quentin Tarantino's total sneaky pants about it. I think he knows that they just did that just to make people go, why?

Man. Why is that? What does he mean? So it stars our friend Leonardo DiCaprio, who you recall earlier was a second most popular person in Inception. And Brad Pitt, who, of course, is a popular man. But could there be somebody else in that very large cast? So Brad Pitt, they just announced that he's going to be in Tarantino's last film. So I know that bumps him up a little bit,

but I feel like it's gotta be Margot Robbie. Cause Barbie and all that. And because it's just Margot Robbie pits, I'm gonna go with Margot Robbie. Barbie, Robbie, Robbie, Barbie.

Yeah. Margot Barbie, Barbie. Margot Barbie, Barbie. Okay. Uh, Caitlin, what, uh, what are you thinking are you thinking margo i'm thinking margo patriarchy yeah i say she's bringing them all down with her little barbie

movie you think he's number one yeah i do okay in that movie where history's rewritten and people that got murdered lived happily ever after. That's the one. I'll be honest. I haven't seen the movie. What? I want it to be Bruce Dern very bad. Oh, man. Just the way Brad Pitt keeps saying

his last name, Sp right spawn are you spawn all right um really brings out the southern accent um okay so who's left who's the last to say somebody that's me so we've got two margos in a row two margos robbie um and i i that was who i thought at first but I think I want to go against the grain here a little bit because I know there's a young man who's a very hot actor right now who's

Dune 2 is about to come out so I'm going to say Austin Butler God damn it Tex I think it might be Austin Butler Austin Butler Margo with Barbie and everything it's hard to bet against her but I think it might be Austin Butler. It was tough, though. Margot with Barbie and everything, it's hard to bet against her.

But I'm going to just, for fun's sake, I'll throw out Mr. Butler. Okay, well, let's go back to Corey. Sounds like he really rocked your world with that information. He did, but I still, though, I still gotta feel like it's gotta be Margo. It's gotta be Margo. Okay, Caitlin?

I'm going girl power, Margo Robbie. Alright. I'm gonna start with number three and that is an actress who is a Nepo actress another Marg? the daughter of Andy McDowell, Margaret Qualley

not quite Margot Robbie, but sounds like it I know, right right you're almost there with Margaret must have been some confusion on the set but yeah Margaret Qualley and just for anybody who wants to know

her role in that film is her character is called Pussycat oh yeah let's skip around here a little bit because number one is really interesting and nobody said it oh no number one um lena dunham off because of no but one of that there's just a crowd of women. Is it Sydney Sweeney? It's Sydney Sweeney. Oh, wow. I did not know.

Yeah, she plays a lady named Snake. And everybody in that movie has such fun names. And then, but here is the devastating news for some of you. Margot Robbie finished number six. Get the fuck out of here. The list behind Brad at five, Leo at four, and then number two, you nailed it. God damn you, Joe.

Freaking Austin Butler. Wow. That's a good poll, buddy. Great poll. Congratulations, Joe. Thank you. freaking austin butler wow that's a good pull buddy great congratulations joe thank you um he is getting raves for his crazy uh i guess he's like a you know bald villain guy in dune 2 and people are loving him in it he's playing powder what doing? Yeah. He's got that new Apple, Apple TV show too. That's I've watched the first episode and it's very good.

It's the Spielberg joint. Huh? No, really? Oh yeah. Masters of the air. Masters of the air. Yeah.

He's still got a little of the Elvis thing going on, but it works. It works really good. Well, he recently like, apparently he's impressive in doing, because he dropped the the elvis thing and he i've seen him in the press talking about yeah maybe i overdid it a little bit like acting like

elvis all the time for three years he had to get a dialect coach to get him to stop talking like elvis yeah yeah amazing i swear he didn't win any awards because every place he showed up he'd be like hey what's going on everybody would be like what? hey mama we're about to get some golden globes up in here baby they should just reboot Johnny Bravo and have him do a live action well no

Corey because he's dropped the accents and he's I'm excited to see him in this Dune 2 I'm excited for something exciting to happen in Dune 2 for instance Zendaya is actually going to be in it

you know because part one was like what she got pretty good billing for just showing up with a thing in her nose all right um you know what was her screen time in dune one maybe eight minutes not much bautista was the same way like i thought he was going to be a huge star in it and he wasn't in it for that much yeah so i mean it really left you it didn't leave me wanting more to be honest but people who are into it it really left them like you know dying for more like people were during the writer's strike that was like the number one thing that people were upset that that that was getting delayed because of the writer's strike

right right that was the number one popular annoying thing to say but what about dune 2 what have they done all right joe uh so as winner can you uh what are your uh plans this weekend could you join us again sunday afternoon perhaps um potentially yeah i think i could all right i'll put you down for a maybe and leave the listeners in a little bit of suspense and you get to uh promote your stuff first what would you like to promote oh excellent um the so i have a podcast that's all about the rock and roll hall of fame and the rock hall ballot just dropped so we're really in the thick of uh stuff to talk about so it's called who cares about About the Rock Hall.

I had a great time. I still would like to apologize to the Corey community about my poorly tasted joke. I didn't know. I didn't know. I'm so sorry. People have been making really terrible jokes ever since it happened because when he passed, he was sort of kind of an awkward

stage where he's kind of becoming less popular. And so it was quite a punchline and, you know, of course, it's sad what happened to him. But the first mistake was being a child actor, though, for sure. That led to the...

And, you know, Corey Feldman's risen up. And, you know, he's still out there fighting for child actors, you know, and their rights on sets and stuff. But I said sets, S-T-E-e-t-s sets and um you're not you know so um good for him i is what i say and he also doesn't mean michael jackson impression um what would you like to promote caitlin what's going on uh well i have an album coming out called dirty bird on march 8th it's my first album ever um please uh buy it and listen to it stream it wherever you want to listen to comedy things and um you can follow me at caitlin palufo on instagram

That's what I would say. No, again, it was Corey Haim. Oh, no! The guy you were making fun of. That's a both, right?

Yeah, both of them are in it. Both of them and good old Heather Graham who's still out there doing good work. Who's left? Corey? Corey Ryan Forrester?
