Doug hates candy wrappers screaming baby sticky seeds
With 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth
There's still not one that he won't see
Cause Doug loves movies
Hey, hey everybody
Hey, everybody.
The only place I have to put my drink is on someone else's chair.
We didn't really think that through.
We didn't put any...
Oh, that's a good idea.
I'm going to put my drink on the table
of some nice audience members.
Don't try to sip from that
unless you really enjoy kerosene.
As always, don't try to sip from that unless you really enjoy kerosene as always I have
everything that I want to say
written down on a piece of paper that I'm pulling
out right now
hey everybody
welcome to
I Love Movies coming to you live
on tape from the Improv Comedy
Club in Irvine, California.
On April 28th, 2010.
Quick shout out to everybody who came to my shows in Madison, Milwaukee, and Western Illinois University.
Go Cocksuckers!
No, wait a second, that's not it.
Leathernecks, yay!
I'd also like to thank the people at Acme Comedy Club in Minneapolis
for letting me record my new CD on 420,
and it will...
Thank you.
It'll plop later this year.
That's what I like to say about CDs, that they plop.
I mean comedy CDs.
Regular ones drop, but mine plops.
Stephen Baldwin says that he no longer stars in movies
because he refuses to do films that feature gratuitous sex and violence.
Which works out great for me
because I refuse to see movies
that feature gratuitous Stephen Baldwin.
Boom! My guest tonight
are three hilarious comedians
who all agreed to drive down to Irvine from L.A.
It takes an hour.
Sometimes longer.
Please welcome Dan Gabriel, Natasha Leggero,
and TJ Miller!
Yay!
Grab some microphones
and some stools. There you go.
Oh, Natasha was on and off
her stool.
Alright, talk into the microphones.
I was just going to say I didn't want to
sit so close to you because I don't know anything
about movies.
Except I loved Hot Tub Time Machine.
Yeah, Natasha
is the
chairman, the president
of the Hot Tub Time Machine fan club.
I've chosen a stool.
She loves it.
I can't reach my drink.
I know.
We should have put some little tables up here so people could reach their drinks.
That's okay.
You're going to have to really stretch to get your water.
TJ Miller.
Dan Gabriel, say hi to the listening audience.
Hello, listening audience.
That's Dan Gabriel.
And Natasha, you've already heard from.
And TJ Miller.
All right.
Let me ask you guys some questions.
And audience that came out tonight, if you feel like leaving, it's no big deal.
If you want to take off, if this gets boring to you, if you're not nerds that love movies, you may get tired of it.
But if you like it, hang out.
Natasha, you're in He's Not That Into You.
What's it called?
He's Just Not That Into You.
He's Just Not Into You, you stupid idiot.
He's Just Not That Into You.
You stupid.
Okay.
You're in it.
And you're in the trailer.
Well, that movie's been out for a while.
Yeah.
But your whole part was in the trailer, right?
That is correct.
But in lieu of...
Why is that so funny, guys?
How many movies have you been in?
How many trailers have you been in? How many trailers have you been in?
I'm just saying though
that
it's kind of awesome
that your whole part
from the movie
ends up in the trailer.
Drew Barrymore
is barely in the trailer.
It wasn't the whole part, Doug.
What else did you say?
Hey, hey.
There's a lady
or weird dude
in the audience
that disagrees.
It's a minute and a half
the monologue I have
so ma'am in the back
it was not the whole part, okay?
Granted it was just a scene.
I have to say that ma'am
Granted it was the only movie I've ever been in.
Ma'am in the back is one of my favorite
pornos.
If I had to pick one
who's going to force me to pick one?
It's about a lonely southern boy who's polite but likes
from behind.
But that's cool, Natasha, that you're in that movie.
Thank you.
Frangela is in that movie.
Does that ruin it for you?
No.
There are a couple black ladies who combine their names into one,
like a lot of combinations of black ladies will do.
TJ, you were the voice of one of the twins
in How I Met Your Dragon.
And by twins, I don't mean a dragon's balls.
I mean you're like a person that fights dragons.
I'm so glad you clarified that by twins
you weren't talking about a dragon's balls.
Because any other time somebody brings up twins, I'm like, are they talking about dragon balls?
Are they talking about identical people born at the same time?
Did you see Twins starring Danny DeVito and Arnold Schwarzenegger
as dragon's balls?
You know what, now that you put it that way, no, not at all
but no, yes, I was in How to Train Your Dragon.
You and Kristen Wiig are two twins.
That's right, we're two twins.
Rarely is there one twins.
Is that a cartoon?
It is an animated film.
It's in 3D, Natasha.
Like your hat.
It's three-dimensional.
Podcast listeners love
visual hat jokes.
Some people
are like,
I bet it's a weird beret.
It's not weird.
It's just red.
Yeah, but some people know it's
such an insult to say your hat is 3D.
It's 3D.
As is the rest of you.
Natasha Leggero is in 3D
tonight, you guys.
Yeah, I was right.
I was the voice of Tough Nut.
That was his name? Tough Nut?
And her name is Rough Nut.
You don't want to go out with a girl whose name
is Rough Nut.
Quit slapping my balls around and do something else, Rough Nut.
I can't, that's my name.
Or you don't really want to go out with a guy named Tough Nut.
It's going to take me a really long time to finish.
I don't want to go out with any guys, but especially ones named Tough Nut.
If I go out with a guy I want to be able to crack through that nut,
I don't want a fucking Tough nut first time out of the gate.
I'm going to try being gay. Oh, god damn it,
it's a tough nut.
This guy's a tough nut, too.
Dan Gabriel.
Yes, sir. Have you seen
How to Train Your Dragon?
I have not seen How to Train Your Dragon.
He plays tough nut in it.
One of my favorite names of a character
that I play. That's so bizarre.
Like, a viking has twins.
It's a girl and a boy, so I'm gonna name the boy
Tough Nut and the girl Rough Nut.
Well, it's based on real
events.
It's based on a true story.
Was there ever a conversation about
the audition was just showing his ball
It's the same as that movie Ali
Have you seen Ali?
I didn't pronounce it like that
But yes I did
Have you seen Ali?
You haven't seen Ali with Will Smith?
With Will Smith?
I'd like one ticket for Ali please
That would be worth seeing that movie in the theater, just to say that.
One ticket for Allie, please.
I'm going to get some popcorn.
I said to the poor girl in the box office,
I'd like one for how to train my dragon,
and she didn't appreciate it.
I'd like one to train my dragon.
I've got a tough nut and a rough nut.
I was like, put a fucking saddle on my dragon. I've got a tough nut and a rough nut. I was like, put a fucking saggle on... Saggle?
Saddle on my dragon.
Put a fucking saggle on my drink
dog. I speak
from that language from
Clockwork Orange.
Me droogies.
So...
Only nerds are following at this point.
I don't even think Doug is following at this point. What do you mean only nerds are following? Only nerds are following at this point. I don't even think Doug is following at this point.
What do you mean only nerds are following?
Only nerds listen to this podcast.
That's the point of it.
That's the idea.
You're right.
I haven't listened to it yet.
Yeah.
I haven't listened to it.
I don't know how to download podcasts.
Podcasts are for starring in.
Yeah.
Not for listening to.
I'm here while it happens. Why do I need to listen to it? I like are for starring in. Not for listening to. I'm here while it happens.
Why do I need to listen to it?
I like starring in a podcast.
I love movies.
The podcast.
Starring Natasha Leggero.
Her entire part will be in the trailer
for this podcast.
Thank you.
So Dan, have you been in any movies?
You're in Totally Baked.
National Lampoon's Totally Baked, right?
Oh yeah.
Anybody see that horrible weed movie, Totally Baked?
It's not horrible. We're both in it.
Yeah, but it's pretty bad.
It's really bad
Wow, the Red Sox are going to skyrocket now
Were you in the trailer for that?
I was
My entire part was in the trailer
It was just me going like
Guys are stupid
Were you really in the trailer for that?
What is your line in that movie?
It wasn't a line
It was a speech
I competed with a lot of hot actresses To get that part Were you really in the trailer for the trailer? It wasn't a line, it was a speech.
I competed with a lot of hot actresses to get that part.
And it was so good that it made it into the trailer of a movie with all A-list celebrities.
What's your speech?
They were like, less Ben Affleck, more of this speech.
You competed with a lot of hot actresses, and they decided to go with funny.
Sexy funny.
That does not... He's not saying I'm ugly, you guys.
Sexy funny.
What's your line in that movie?
Do you remember?
It is not a line.
It's a speech said in one sentence.
Tell the speech.
Tell the speech.
It's a speech said in one sentence, Doug.
I honestly do not remember. It's a Twitter speech. one sentence, Doug. Honestly, do not remember.
It's a Twitter speech.
You really don't remember?
The gist of it is some guy's not that into her.
I'm just talking about how I'm trying to call a guy
and he won't call me.
I'm not going to repeat it.
Do the speech.
Hold on, wait a second.
Did I just hear the guy from the back go,
Do it
I'll do it, I'll do it
Natasha in the movie is totally fucking a guy
With a tiny cock
And she's like, you're not that into me
I'm ashamed of how long it took me to understand that
My jokes are like math That would have been funny. I'm ashamed of how long it took me to understand that.
My jokes are like math.
Sometimes it's not worth figuring out.
I thought you said math.
He did.
My jokes are like math.
Oh.
You make them in a Winnebago.
I thought you said math.
He did say math.
I thought he said meth. He did say math. I thought he said meth.
You guys are like the new George and Gracie that I want to murder.
Alright, so
what's next on my piece of paper?
Have you guys...
I know Dan and I saw Date Night
tonight.
Really?
Huge Date Night fans in the audience.
We saw it together because we drove down early to Orange County.
And because it was our date night.
Yeah.
Every Wednesday night, Dan and I go to a movie together
and sit with one seat between us so that everyone knows we're not fags.
I love when dudes do that in movie theaters,
like a whole seat between them. We're not fags. Yeah, but when you that in movie theaters, like a whole seat between them.
We're not fags. Yeah, but when you lean
in to talk to each other, you look like you're kissing.
And so we can both have our own armrest.
Right.
Yeah, that's a good reason.
Was it funnier than Hot Tub Time Machine, my new
favorite movie?
Is what funnier than it? Date Night.
Oh, yeah.
Well,
I don't know. I just feel like
when a comedy...
I shouldn't be so quick to say.
I think when a comedy
is really funny,
like Hot Tub Time Machine,
everyone comes out
and tries to, like,
say what's wrong with it
and why it wasn't funny
and it's being unfairly judged.
No one has said
a negative thing about it
until you just said that.
They're amused. Now you're making it sound like before we started the podcast, No one has said a negative thing about it until you just said that. The reviews were like...
Now you're making it sound like
before we started the podcast,
anyone was saying something negative about TJ Miller.
No, I'm talking about the reviews.
The reviews, like, it got a D in Entertainment Weekly.
Like, they were saying it's too gay.
Well, it's a shame on you, Entertainment Weekly.
It's definitely too gay.
Four guys in a hot tub, that's too gay. It's definitely too gay. Four guys in a hot tub, that's too gay.
I need some
donuts in that pickle party.
But it's a good movie, though. It's funny.
Craig Robinson, friend of the show, he's in there.
Rob Corddry, who I'd love to have on
someday. And then some other people.
John Cusack.
I don't give a shit for that fuck.
You don't like John Cusack. John Cusack. I don't give a shit for that fuck. You don't like John Cusack?
It's Cusack, not
Cusack. Cusack.
Yeah. Alright.
It's actually June Cusack.
However you pronounce it... I feel a little hostile
about that. He should have
made a tidal wave go away
in 2012 by holding a
boombox over his head.
That's all I have to say about that. That's how you make a tidal wave go away in 2012 by holding a boombox over his head. That's all I have to say about that guy.
That's how you make a tidal wave come back to you.
I love movies.
Listen.
Don't you want to have him on your show one day?
I don't know.
I'm not sucking up to people to get him on my show.
I know.
I'm saying what's real.
Yeah.
I'm being honest.
You're keeping it really real. I'm being honest.
That guy, John Cusack, made two movies about having retarded children within the course of
a year. And it's like,
alright, we get it. You're sensitive.
Sensitive people have retarded children.
Listen, you guys.
Let's move on before I say something
I'll regret.
There should be a portion of the show each week
where I apologize for people I offended
the previous week.
And so I should say right now
I apologize for offending
retards who like John Cusack.
Wait, that came out wrong.
I think the politically correct
They're loving him.
Oh, sorry, that was a callback to your act.
What?
Do you edit this?
No.
Why?
People, it's perfect the way it is.
There's no reason to edit it, yeah.
What have you guys seen lately?
TJ, have you been in the movies lately?
I saw Kick-Ass.
Yeah, you did.
I saw that.
I love that movie. Why is
that movie more popular? Is it because of the
marketing? Why, isn't it more popular?
Yeah, did they market it wrong? Like, is
it like a movie for adults that looks like
a kid's movie? Is that the problem with it?
I don't know. I've only heard people
talking about that movie non-stop. What do you mean
it's not popular? Well, the people that hang around you
talk about it non-stop because you're
hanging around comedians
who are all nerds.
You're only hanging around the cast of Kick-Ass.
If you would hang out with other people.
Who saw Kick-Ass?
Well, yeah.
People who like this podcast like Kick-Ass.
That's how it works.
Oh, I see.
You're talking about the ratings.
But I'm talking about...
Yes, the ratings.
The Nielsen ratings for movies
are not good for Kick-Ass.
It opened number one, barely,
and then dropped to number five.
It did not open number one.
It did.
No, they're full of shit.
They edged it out.
They edged you out, you dragon fucker.
Listen to me, motherfucker.
Listen closely.
They counted the receipts from Thursday, 10 p.m.
Thursday's not part of the fucking weekend.
Oh, you're doing it right, it is.
No, absolutely not.
Wednesday's part of the weekend for you guys, am I right?
You're so drunk on a Wednesday,
you said Wednesday was part of the weekday.
Listen, why don't you get another brain surgery?
Here's the deal.
I already had three brain surgeries.
One of them was just diagnostic.
It did not open to number one.
It said that it did, but it didn't.
No, go back and look.
It was closed, and then they ended up...
Everyone ended up deciding that Kick-Ass beat Dragon.
And don't worry about it.
Dragon went to number one the next weekend.
And Kick-Ass only went to number five.
Yeah, it went to number five.
So you totally win.
But Kick-Ass was number one for one weekend.
I'm the voice of one of the smallest parts
named Duffnut.
No, but I did not know
you were a voice in the movie.
I went to see it
when I was working
hyenas in Fort Worth.
And I turned to...
I turned to Graham Elwood.
Both of those things are bad.
I turned to Graham Elwood,
who I was watching it with,
because we go on gay movie dates
when we're on the road together.
And with a seat between us.
And...
But when you lean in to talk
to each other
I turned to him
and I said
that's TJ Miller
is the voice
of one of the twins
I have a question
I picked you off buddy
nice one
yeah
it was good
isn't it a well known
fact that
the most popular
movie usually
sucks
no
well you can tell
by that silence
that you're absolutely
right
I mean that it's not number one that's cause it's good that silence that you're absolutely right. I mean, that silence...
That silence was an audience being like,
yes, that's an unwritten rule.
The public gets it right.
That's been written in stone.
Why have you spoken it out loud?
Isn't Alvin and the Chipmunks number one?
Isn't Shrek number one?
Wait, back up a second.
Shrek is all right.
Alvin and the Chipmunks is like a fake movie.
David Cross is very funny in Alvin and the Chickmunks is like a fake movie. David Cross
David Cross is very funny
in Alvin and the Chickmunks.
But
and Jason Lee
got a paycheck.
But the point is
Very
very rarely
is an amazing movie
number one.
Well I
I actually
Except for every time
like a good movie
is number one.
I have terrible
I have a terrible story
about myself
that's really sad.
I've
I've lived in Hollywood for so long that at one point I was talking terrible story about myself that's really sad. I've lived in Hollywood
for so long
that at one point
I was talking to somebody
and I said,
you know,
Alvin and the Chipmunks
did 250 Domestic
so you know
the squeak-well
is going to do well.
And I said squeak-well
without making fun of it.
I said it for reals.
I said squeak-well.
Did you know
that Alvin and the Chipmunks,
they're making a third movie where they live in a trilogy?
You're right, TJ.
The audience is wrong.
You're right on that one.
The face he gave me was so fucking, like, shut it down.
Wrap it up, Doug.
End of show.
Well, we got a lot of show to go, buddy.
Trilogy.
We got to play some games. Trilogy. We got to play some games.
Trilogy.
We got to win some prizes.
If I could have worked the word nut in, I would have.
Because chipmunks love nuts.
People are knocking over their drinks.
They're having so much fun.
Things are getting crazy here in Irvine.
We're behind the orange curtain.
Shit happens.
Behind the orange curtain. Shit happens. Behind the orange
curtain. Tustin is nearby.
Tustin.
What have you seen lately, Dan, besides date night?
I saw Alice
in Wonderland in 3D.
Yeah, how'd that work out for you?
I got dizzy. Anybody else get dizzy?
Holy shit. I saw it 2D, actually. Yeah, because it was work out for you? I got dizzy Anybody else get dizzy? Holy shit I saw a 2D, actually
Yeah, because it was before your brain surgery
Wow
You and that woman should have a kid
And just come out being fucking shitty
To other human beings
Wait, what woman for the people listening to this podcast?
Somebody earlier I was trying to talk about my brain surgery
And a girl in the middle of
me talking about it goes,
whatever!
Which is just a sensitive way
of telling me that she's going to be a great mother.
She showed you a lot of respect
by saying the whole thing, though,
because if she really didn't want to hear about it,
she'd say, whatevs.
She really took the time
to pronounce whatever
in its entirety.
I appreciate it, but I couldn't understand it
because I just had brain surgery.
W-E
Whatevs.
I asked all the questions I want to ask.
Let's play some games.
Let's do it.
People love the games. Let's play some games. Let's do it. People love the games.
Let's get a suggestion
from this gentleman right here.
Somebody else gasped
that I chose him.
That's exciting.
Somebody else knows that it's a weird choice.
Why did you say that?
Oh my gosh.
The listeners can't hear you Alright
Name a movie that's got
Words in it that
Have been in other movie titles
He chose How to Train Your Dragon
So TJ
Can you think of a movie that ends in the word
How or begins in the word dragon?
Oh, I thought of one.
Why would you say,
oh, I thought of one right after asking you that question?
Just to put that extra pressure on you,
like, holy shit.
Is he going to be able to do it?
Doug's already got one.
How to train your dragon.
How to train your dragon How to train your Dragon Ball Z Dragon Ball Z is a movie?
It is now, motherfucker
Is it really?
Yeah, it's an anime movie
No, it's a live action, you're right
It has John Cusack in it
He plays the ball.
You're my favorite.
That laugh was from Alice in Wonderland.
This game might be over already.
How to train your Dragon Ball Z?
Yep. All right, so Natasha, you need to come up with a title. It begins with Z or ends
in how? Begins
with what?
Begins with how
or ends in Z? No, it ends
in how or begins in Z.
You want me to host the podcast for a while?
She's not gonna get it
either way. Take it easy. Doesn't matter
what it is. No, I got it. Wasn't there
a movie
called Z?
Yes, there was.
It was directed by Costa Gamos.
Zorro. That was a movie.
Oh, that's a good point.
And they call it Z.
Who does?
Turn off Natasha's microphone
for a minute.
I was gonna say, I'm still confused how this works,
because his thing wasn't even a good answer.
That was not...
Dragon Ball Z is a movie, supposedly.
Oh, okay.
I don't have time to look it up.
I would have said Dragon Quest if I were you.
I would have said Puff the Magic Dragon
That would not have worked
That wouldn't have worked at all
That doesn't fit at all
To say Puff the Magic Dragon
I like that if you were me
You would have said Dragon Quest
If I were you
If I was you, that's what I would have chosen
I also would have avoided the brain surgery
Immediately
This is fun I would have chosen. I also would have avoided I would want to tell everybody that I was a homosexual immediately.
This is fun.
Dan, do you have anything to add?
Does Zorro count?
Are you letting her have Zorro?
No.
No, they called it Z.
Everyone did.
I don't think you can just choose what people call Z.
Everyone said that.
Are you going to see Z?
No, I'm the
Naso Next Bee.
I'm telling you it was a big hit.
Alright.
Dan, you got anything?
Anything that ends in how or starts
with Z?
Yeah. Shit, man.
Oh.
That kind of starts with Z.

Oh, you said a stripes thing?
Yeah.
All right, so zebra head.
Wait, what's happening?
How to train your zebra head?
How do you train your Dragon Ball zebra head?
So now, Dan, you need a movie that begins with the word head.
Why, Dan?
Because it's his turn.
Natasha got zebra head.
Natasha got a gimme
because somebody in the audience had an answer.
What is a non-porn movie that starts with head?
Well, there was a movie just called Head
that starred Jack Nicholson and the monkeys.
But it doesn't count to add a movie
that's just the same word as the last word.
So you need a word that starts...
How to train your dragon ball
zebra head
and shoulders? I don't know.

Can I just ask though
Was that a real movie? Was that a real thing that just happened? Oh, man. I'm tired of this game. Can I just ask, though?
Was that a real movie?
Was that a real thing that just happened?
Well, I mean, were they picking... Did we really just play a game?

I know who you're talking about. He plays all the Christopher Penn roles
that Christopher Penn didn't play because he's died. I know who you're talking about. He plays all the Christopher Penn roles that Christopher Penn didn't play because he's died.
I know. It's sad.
I'm trying to pull up my Leonard Maltin app
so we can play the Leonard Maltin game.
And I'm about to.
Wow, there's a lot of chatting in the crowd.
Oh, people are getting their checks.
So people have to figure out their bills.
You can't laugh and figure out your bill at the same time.
The men are paying tonight.

Not during the podcast that you star in
My mother calls masturbating twittering
And So she tells masturbating twittering.
And so she tells me no twittering all the time.
I'm like, Mom, it's none of your business.
She's like, it is when you're in my home.
It is when you're in my living room.
All right.
Let's play Leonard Maltin.
This movie, I don't have an overall category.
The categories are going to shift because I'm using all, like,
the ones from previous shows that didn't get picked.
And this is from 1975.
The category is it's a musical.
Yeah.
What?
Jesus, you guys are the best.
Sometimes I forget to pick people that you guys are playing for,
and the audience reminds me.
So, red shirt,
you've got to have somebody play for you.
Who would you like to play for you?
You take Natasha.
Thank you.
Yeah, it's a vote for
I don't want to win.
But I think there's a one in 100 chance I'll have sex with you. Yeah, it's a vote for I don't want to win. But I think there's a 1 in 100 chance I'll have sex with you.
1 in 100, really?
I know a lot of musicals.
You tramp.
1 in 100, I'll take those odds.
And this gentleman over here, who would you like to play for you?
TJ or Dan?
Dan, good call
Thanks everybody
Thank you for your vote of confidence
TJ, the last time you were on the show
I am the worst at this game
No, no, no, you're with that guy
I'm bad, I actually am really bad
Let's pick this gentleman
Oh, you choose me?
He chooses you
Thank you so much.
When you're the only one left to pick TJ.
So the other two are no longer available and you've decided
I choose TJ.
That's beautiful. I would have been your first choice.
Thank you very much. He was always your first choice. I mean, look what it says
on his shirt. It says,
Sworn to a great DVD.
Soil work.
Is that what that says?
Soil work. Sworn to a great divide. Soil word. Is that what that says? Soil work.
Great divide.
Soil word.
That's what I call how I spend my afternoons.
Soil work.
All right, so what's your name, Soil Work?
Orlando.
Let's go with Soil Work.
Oh, man.
All right, TJ's playing for Soilwork.
And what's your name?
Sean.
Natasha's playing for Sean.
And your name?
Jay.
Jay.
Dan is playing for Jay.
Yeah, I won't remember,
so everybody remember your own names.
My name's TJ.
Yeah.
Let's start with you, TJ.
This is a musical from 1975.
I love you. And one of the things that Leonard
Maltin said about it was
it had standout musical
performances in it.
That's the only part.
Okay, energetic. I can say energetic.
Energetic. That's all we get to know?
And that's it. And there are
nine names.
How many names can you get it in,
TJ Miller?
Eight. He says eight
names. Natasha Nalegero.
One.
One name?
All right.
So Dan Gabriel, you can go zero names,
you can say name that movie to Natasha
Nalegero. I'm gonna go zero names. You know can say name that movie to Natasha Leggero.
I'm gonna go zero names.
You know it in zero names?
I think I have a pretty good guess.
You better have a pretty good guess. Just from Energetic 1975.
Do I say it now? Tell me when to say it.
Alright, Dan. What movie
do you think it is? Is it Grease?
No.
But that is an energetic
performance. That's from the 80s is an energetic performance.
That's from the 80s. Energetic performance.
It's a movie that starred Jack Nicholson, Tina Turner, Robert Powell, Keith Moon, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Oliver Reed, Ann-Margaret, and Roger Welch.
Oh, I knew it.
Bye-bye, Birdie.
It's called Bye-bye, Birdie.
That's right.
She's actually proud of herself.
I guessed it.
It's Tommy. it's called Tommy Oh
Members of the Who weren't in Bye Bye Birdie
But your victory dance that you did was exciting
The Who is only in Tommy if you get in a hot tub time machine
And change history
Convince Keith Moon and Sorry Roger Daltrey a hot tub time machine and change history convince
Keith Moon and
Roger Daltrey
to be in Bye Bye Birdie.
Alright, so...
The kids, sure, please. Bye Bye Birdie.
So TJ Miller got the point on that one.
That's amazing.
For doing nothing, yeah.
That's the only way I can get points.
We'll start with Natasha on this next one.
This is a holiday movie.
What?
She doesn't get the point.
Because she said...
She said she could get it one.
And he said zero. And then he got it wrong,
so the point goes to TJ.
I know, it's complicated.
But we start with Natasha.
This movie is a Christmas movie from 2004,
and Leonard Maltin calls it a bomb.
Bomb.
He saves that for the worst of the worst.
And there are 12 names.
Natasha, how many names can you get it in?
Five.
A Bomb About Christmas from 2004.
Five.
She says five names, Dan Gabriel.
How many names can you get it in?
Talk into the microphone.
Can I call her?
Can I call her out?
Can I make her do it?
Yeah, you can make her do it
Alright, let's do that
Alright
Say name that movie
Name that movie
Name that movie
Felicity Huffman was in this movie
The great Felicity Huffman
Julie Gonzalo
I don't know who that is
Or why she got higher billing over Felicity Huffman
Tom Poston
he's old
and also another old guy Austin Pendleton
and Jake Busey
was in this movie
those are your five names
Gary Busey's not as crazy son
but just as crazy looking
does people in the audience know it?
no? it's a tough one any guests Natasha? Christmas Carol But just as crazy looking Does people in the audience know it? No
It's a tough one
Any guess, Natasha?
Christmas Carol
Christmas Carol
That's a really good guess
It's a really good guess
Because this movie also has the word Christmas in the title
Do you want to phone a friend?
I want to phone a friend
You want your guy that you're playing for to help you?
Not now. He doesn't know what it is.
He says he doesn't know.
Some guy over there knows. Go see what he knows.
It's called Christmas with the Cranks.
That's correct!
That's correct!
So I win!
An audience member helped Natasha to cheat.
I know, you guys are applauding Natasha cheating And this guy knowing the movie
Christmas with the Greg
They like me
No one should know that movie
I bet you people that are in it don't even know it
Like
He's like shit the fuck up
I did that movie? No way
M. Emmett Walsh doesn't know he was in it.
Dan Aykroyd doesn't know he was in it.
That guy doesn't know much of anything.
Cheech Marin smoked a lot of weed.
Alright, here we go.
So it's a point for TJ
and a point for Natasha.
We'll start with Dan Gabriel
on this next one.
This is a movie that takes place in San Francisco
Okay
It's from 1977
Len gives it two and a half stars
Not fair, I think it should be three
And he calls it
Well made but uneven
And there are
Ten names Ten names Dan Gabriel, start the bidding but uneven. And there are ten names.
Ten names.
Dan Gabriel, start the bidding.
Uh, five.
1977.
I can name that movie in five names.
Five names.
Cutting it in half.
T.J. Miller.
I'm going to say name that movie.
Wow.
This is an intense game.
Only because I know I couldn't get it before.
Okay.
I don't think he's going to get it.
Here we go.
Five names.
You ready, Dan?
Let's do it.
Charlie Callis was in this movie.
He's that guy that was always like...
You mean Michael Winslow?
No, this guy was pre-Michael Winslow.
Michael Winslow took it up a notch
by making sounds of actual things.
Charlie Callister's like,
brr.
Jack Riley was in this movie.
He played Carlin
on Bob Newhart's show.
Murphy Dunn was in this movie.
He was in the band
in Blues Brothers.
Murphy Dunn.
Howard Morris
was in this movie.
He used to be on the Andy Griffith show.
And Ron Carey is your fifth name.
Ron Carey.
I think there's somebody in the audience that knows it.
1977.
1977.
And Leonard said it's a well-made but uneven.
Is it foul play? Ooh, that's a well-made but uneven. Is it foul play?
Ooh, that's a good guess.
But again, you're wrong.
Let me do the rest of the names you guys yell it out.
Dick Van Patten, Harvey Korman, Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn, Mel Brooks.
Oh, I know, I know.
It's Blazing Saddles.
No, I know it, I know it, I know it. Do I get another chance, I know, I know. It's Blazing Saddles. No.
I know it, I know it, I know it.
Do I get another chance if I know it?
No, you don't get another chance when you get all the names.
I love that the three of you, no one is blurting out.
Well, I know it now and they don't know it.
What is it?
Is it High Anxiety?
Yes, that's right.
Anxiety.
All right, we have a tied game.
Next person to get a point wins.
I know, this is the most fucked up game.
Okay, this movie is a buddy movie.
That means it stars two people.
And it's from...
What year is it? 1988.
Leonard gave it three and a half stars.
And he said this about it.
Socko action comedy.
Yeah, he called it Socko.
If I ever have him on the show again, I'm going to go
what does it mean when something is Socko?
And where do we start the bidding?
Let's start with TJ.
And there are
eight names.
I can do it in six. He. I can do it in six.
He thinks he can do it in six.
Natasha?
Six.
You can't bid the same as the last guy.
Why not?
She can do anything else she wants.
She can just ask that guy if it's Christmas for the cranks.
Seven, then.
She could probably
make up a number. She can do it in
Slevin.
I can do it
in Eleventy names.
I like
the Josh Hartnett way.
When Josh Hartnett played that guy Slevin.
Dan? I like the Josh Hartnett way when Josh Hartnett played that guy Slevin Dan she said 7 I think
wait what did you say TJ
I think TJ said 6
and then you said 7 Natasha
I don't understand
alright Dan what do you think you could get it in
TJ says 6 and Natasha says 7
why is that funny Natasha says she could get it in? TJ says six and Natasha says seven.
Why is that funny?
Natasha says she could get it in more names than TJ.
So do you say, Natasha, name that movie?
Or do you bid lower than seven or six?
Sorry I'm not a deep nerd.
I don't understand how this works. Yeah, it takes a deep nerd to understand this game.
Sorry I said more
names when we're constantly betting
less names or we have to say name that
movie. I'm not wearing
glasses and a pocket protector.
I'd like to take a second to congratulate
you guys for being on the episode that'll
never be heard by anyone.
I'm just teasing.
You guys are hearing it.
It's not making the cut.
All right, how many names, Dan?
We got to wrap this up.
All right, I want to see Natasha name it in seven.
Yeah, here we go.
Wait, hold on a second.
I can name it in 15.
Back up.
I can do it in 15 names.
I'll have to make up some names. You have to name all the names from the movie and then some names from High Anxiety.
I'll have to name some other people
that were involved.
I could do it. I could name 15 names.
No, let's let
Natasha try in 7.
Let's let Natasha.
Are you ready to answer the question?
I'm ready.
I'm pointing to Christmas and the Granks.
He's one of the Granks.

I know it.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
It's from 1988, Natasha.

I'd give it four stars straight up.
That's an extra clue.

Yafit Koto, Charles Grodin.
Most people listening to this podcast know the answer.
