Doug Hayes, candy wrapper, squeaky baby, sticky seeds with 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see, but Doug Bums, who is?
Hey, hey, hey, everybody.
My name is Doug, and I love movies.
This is I Love Movies.
Coming to you for the last time at 7 o'clock on a Tuesday at the UCB Theater in Los Angeles.
Thanks to everyone at UCB, Baseball Jordan,
and all the regular audience members,
and all of the guests
who've had to fight
L.A. rush hour traffic
to get here on Tuesdays
over the last nine years,
I think.
I'll still be doing...
Thanks!
I'll still be doing shows here
and at Meltdown Comics
and maybe an occasional Largo show in later and longer time slots.
And of course, sometimes at 4.20 in the afternoon.
It's July 14, 2015. Tomorrow night I'm doing stand-up at San Francisco at the Punchline.
There might be a few tickets left. Friday I'll be at the Pemberton Music Festival doing a set at 5 o'clock at the Laugh Camp stage.
And if you're planning on attending Pembe Fest in beautiful Pemberton, B.C., Canada,
be sure to keep an eye out on Twitter for a contest to secure a spot at the very intimate
Douglas Movies taping on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
I think single-day tickets for Sunday are still available.
DouglasMovies.com
for a link. From the corrections
department, this is from the Pittsburgh show
that probably none of you have heard yet
because it just plopped an hour
or two ago.
Danny DeVito is the voice of a dog
in Look Who's Talking
Now.
So when you
hear that other episode,
that correction will make sense.
One of my
guests thought that Danny DeVito was the voice of
a baby in Look Who's Talking
2.
Crucial distinction.
For the prize bag tonight, I've got...
This thing is really cool. Somebody on the road made
a pouch for me that has the...
I guess it's supposed to put my weed in it or something, but I'm not going to put my weed in something that's got my
face on it. The show logo is on there. And then I was sitting in the airport lounge, because I'm
really fancy, in Chicago at O'Hare, and a dude comes up to me. He goes, I work for Raw. Can I
give you some samples? And I was like, okay.
And then he came back and gave me just a fistful of Raw hemp wick and Raw rolling papers and other stuff from the Raw company.
So I included some of that in the prize bag.
And, of course, a copy of Promotional Tool.
And I don't feel bad about not bringing a lot of stuff for the prize bag tonight because my guests really outdid themselves
I think, and I think you'll agree
please give a big warm welcome
to David Huntsberger, Ben Acker
Ben Blacker, and
Wyatt Senak! Very polite bunch.
I haven't even picked up their microphones yet,
so nobody wins the Pete Holmes game.
And that means we all...
I was planning on talking into mine like this,
if that was cool.
That's Wyatt Sinek, everybody, talking into...
leaning into his microphone.
You might want to pick it up, see how that works.
I like it better.
What'd you bring for the prize bag?
I was on Conan tonight, and so... Yeah, you can catch it later tonight if you're here now.
If you're listening to this tomorrow.
Sorry.
Well, you can actually catch it on Thursday.
Oh, it's on Thursday?
Yeah.
I went to the future and then I came back.
Oh, okay.
So watch Wyatt on Conan on Thursday.
On Thursday.
And it went well?
It was fun.
Okay, good.
It was a fun time.
Always fun to do Conan.
There was a band on tonight on the Tuesday show.
And so, or a musician named J.D. McPherson.
He performed.
And so one, okay, there's a fan.
Yeah.
I didn't bring him here.
But if you want to win this, you, okay.
Well, he was good.
He was good.
And so we've got his new album,
Let the Good Times Roll.
Awesome.
Now I feel like I'm just doing warm-up for Conan.
And then one of the Conan writers,
his name is Rob Kuttner.
He is a very funny man.
We work together on The Daily Show,
and then he works on Conan.
He wrote a comic book called Shrinkage.
And this is issue number one of Shrinkage.
And so that's what I have for the prize bag.
Thanks.
And did you come out to L.A.?
I know you've been on the show before in New York.
But did you come out to L.A. for Conan or for a few things?
You could be out here for a while?
I just came out for Conan.
Oh, okay. And to do Doug Love's movies.
All right.
Well, he could have just waited for me
to come to New York on August 3rd or 10th,
but that's cool.
I'm glad you came out for me and for Conan.
Acker and Blacker are here, you guys.
They're black.
I mean, back.
Hi, guys.
These, of course, are the dudes
behind Thrilling Adventure Hour.
True.
Thank you.
Full title, The Thrilling Adventure Hour, right?
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
Full title only, Doug.
Okay.
And let's start with, let's go down the line in order.
Let's start with Ben Blacker.
What did you bring for the prize bag?
I have a bunch of our new series of Thrilling Adventure Hour-inspired comic books
available from Image Comics.
Nice.
Beyond Belief and Sparks, Nevada, Marshall, Mars.
I have a copy of our concert film filmed at Largo,
which I have been told is the last thing they will ever film at Largo
because of fucking pain in the ass.
Yeah, it's not.
We used to do Getting Doug with High there,
and the cameras can't be anywhere on the floor.
They have to be up in the booth, so it's tricky to shoot stuff there.
Yeah, but we had a huge rig and a lot of people and everything,
and it came out beautifully,
and people can actually see what the podcast looks like now.
Awesome.
And it's available via thrillingadventurehour.com.
I have a T-shirt that has the drawing from the comic book,
and it's by Phil Hester,
and some stickers from our crossover with Welcome to Night Vale.
Awesome.
Podcast fans.
Right?
Fits everyone.
Go ahead and put all that stuff back in your little tiny bag
as we move on to Ben Acker,
who has a giant bag,
a giant Trader Joe's bag
full of goodies
because you guys
were at Comic Con
last weekend.
Yes.
So we got...
But you were also
at Trader Joe's.
Yeah.
Gets around.
Yeah.
Thank you to Trader Joe's
for this bag.
I brought two seasons
of The Wire
because I have
HBO Go now
so I don't need it.
Which season?
It's not that bullshit one about the paper.
No, the bullshit one about the ducks.
I'm kidding.
Every season's great.
Yeah, the duck season.
Yeah.
I like every season of that show.
I'm just joking around.
Me too.
Okay, here is from Comic-Con.
This is a loot crate box.
Don't look in it.
It's supposed to be a surprise.
Oh, okay.
Or look in it and talk about it.
Yeah, let's see what typically is in a Loot Crate box.
This is most of the stuff from a Loot Crate box.
All right.
I'll pull it out.
Do you want to explain it?
This is the brochure for the box.
All right.
This tells you about...
It tells you everything that's in there.
There might be an article about Zachary Levi in there.
That's a little...
Look at this cute little Darth Vader.
Yeah, it's a cute Darth Vader.
That's adorable.
People love cute Darth Vaders.
That's a t-shirt for a Transformer.
Optimus Prime merch.
So it's only a Transformer can wear it.
Boom. You see what we did there? It's called comedy.
That's a thing from a
Terminator movie and another thing from a Terminator movie.
The good one. Genesis.
The best one. Right. Everybody's raving about Terminator movie and another thing from a Terminator movie. The good one. Genesis. The best one.
Everybody's raving about Terminator Genesis.
People can't wait for the next one.
That's a mouse pad?
Who would still use this?
Wow.
Are you sure this is not from the original Terminator loot crate?
That could double up as a yoga mat.
In the brochure, they call it a gamer pad, which seems gross to me.
Yeah.
It's big enough to be a yoga mat.
And that's from something.
Yeah.
There's a patch.
It's from something.
Home audience.
And that's the bag.
And then I brought some comics, because Comic-Con and comics, there's a slight
connection. Big stack of them.
Freebies.
One of the fun things about Loot Crate
is probably trying to get everything back into the box
and make it all fit.
I don't think it'll work. Based on this box,
it's the most fun thing about Loot Crate.
Do they advertise on your show?
Nope.
No, they do on mine sometimes.
Thanks for that.
Great stuff.
If they were to start sending me boxes,
I would be open to it.
All right, well,
if you could get all that back
into your Trader Joe's bag,
I'd appreciate it.
And the winner tonight
is going to get multiple bags.
Trader Joe's bags
are the roomiest bags around, Doug.
Trader Joe's advertised on our podcast. Let's, Doug. Trader Joe's advertised on our podcast.
Let's hear it
for Trader Joe's bags.
And David Hunsberger.
Let's hear it for David.
Hello.
Good to have you back, buddy.
What did you bring
for the bag?
I brought three things.
I brought a CD
that I recorded on my own,
and then I,
and then this,
that was many years ago,
probably like 10 years ago,
and then this one
is from, I think, 2013 with the alien face that you like called Explosion Land.
And in the middle, there are some stickers from my new sci-fi show, Reactor.
So people like stickers.
When can people see Reactor?
It's on Thursdays on sci-fi at 1130.
It's already up and running?
It starts Thursday the 16th. so I'm not sure when this
plops. Tomorrow-ish.
Oh, great. It'll be on then
the day after. Tomorrow the
16th. I've been seeing you
do a lot of social media where you do
wacky bits and film them and then
put them up on the internet to promote the show.
Yeah. Yep, I did
all of those. You're welcome
for that. Someone sent me a thing today and one of the videos we did was one of those you're welcome for that someone sent me a thing today
and I
one of the videos we did
was one of those
YouTube ads
where you can skip it
so then I was the face
people were seeing
as they were just hovering
over the countdown
and I
it's nice to be on the other
side of that for once
I have a different
appreciation for those people
like sorry man
you gotta go
I didn't come here for this
wait but keep watching
there's some stuff.
No.
Have you had time with your new show and everything to go to the cinema or watch anything on your home?
I have.
Yeah, yeah.
And then I did like an interview with Fandango and they gave me a bunch of movie passes.
So sorry about the anti-Luke crate sentiments earlier, but these pro-Fandango things.
But yeah, I saw Inside Out, which was fantastic.
I'm sure you guys have talked about that plenty.
But then I saw The Great Escape, finally.
I've never seen that.
That's interesting.
I don't think I've ever seen that front to back.
It's pretty long, right?
It's real long, yeah.
You definitely do want to stop. They should call
it The Great Attempt.
Spoiler?
Kind of. It's still definitely... I mean, they say
right at the beginning, like, these events are all true. The escape.
They refer to it. The title is The Great
Escape. And yet when you see that, you're like,
ah, don't spoil it. And then
it's still captivating, even with my
moderate spoiler there. You think they had, like, a
similar escape plan to El Chapo? Yeah it involved digging a tunnel the tunnels very similarly
just kind of show up it's one of those movies where like i like how they did it and then in
the great escape they're like and now here's a thousand foot tunnel just exists you'll have to
just trust that they worked real hard on it. What about you, Ben?
Doug, thanks for asking.
Ben A.
That's me.
I watched Jurassic World.
Of course you did.
I prefer Jurassic Park.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm just going to say.
I'm more of a park guy than a world guy, for sure.
I heard that stuff is, sorry to jump in there, but I heard all that stuff is because of the international market.
People can't handle a complex storyline anymore, so you just thin it out, and it's dinosaur got out, must run, the end.
And that's what we're seeing now.
Really? Because I feel like America, we're low on math and science and all that stuff,
so it feels like they're just telling us that for our own benefit.
Well, I think it's more of a translation.
The rest of the world's too stupid
to...
You guys are so smart.
Who's a smarty?
If things didn't go so badly
for Jurassic World, you know, with the dinosaurs
not really working out
for helping out in the military.
Obama wouldn't have had to use diplomacy.
We could have sent some dinosaurs over
to Iran. Fuck shit up that way.
What about you, Ben?
B?
I have not been to the cinema
lately, but I saw Kingsman.
I rented Kingsman. Secret Service, yes.
It was really fun. It's a great movie.
It was a good time. I enjoyed it. It was a good time. I enjoyed it.
A really good time.
I feel like that's the bar for how action movies ought to be.
Yes.
Right.
And that's what, have you seen the Deadpool trailer?
I have not seen the trailer yet.
R-rated.
R-rated movie.
That's a good one.
Finally an R-rated.
Yeah, let's show it right now.
Just pull that screen down.
No, so I just saw it because somebody in Hall H
filmed it on their camera phone
sideways.
The way it's meant to be seen.
Yeah, but it's swearing and violent
and Ryan Reynolds is cracking wise
and the lines are actually funny.
We love Ryan Reynolds.
Yeah, who doesn't?
I'm asking.
Ryan Reynolds is a guy
who I like him
100% of the time
and his films
about 10% of the time.
He hasn't gotten
the best breaks
in terms of movies
that I would enjoy.
But this one looks great.
It's weird to talk about him
as a guy that doesn't
get a lot of breaks
because these...
He keeps working.
Yeah, keeps...
Never had a day off.
I love Jess Friends,
the one where he's,
you know,
had the flashbacks of him being all fat.
Of course, he's a lot of fun in waiting.
That's how bad it is.
I have to use waiting as an example.
Did you like Van Wilder?
Of a good Ryan Reynolds movie.
No, I didn't know Van Wilder, really.
I didn't think the script supported him.
I didn't see the one where he was locked underground in a coffin.
I didn't see that one. Oh, yeah. in a coffin. I didn't see that one yet.
Van Wilder 2? Yes.
What about you, Wyatt? Have you been
to the movies?
The last movie that I went to
that I saw in a theater, I got
invited to a screening of a movie
called Tangerine
that recently came out.
It's a film... Yeah, it's popping up here and there.
Yeah, it's a film about
transgender sex workers in Los Angeles.
But this is...
It was a screening,
and so usually they ask you questions
at the screening and stuff.
So I try to do research if I ever go to a screening.
And so I went on the internet
to learn about Tangerine, the movie,
because there was no information other than, hey, do you want to go see Tangerine the movie because there was no information other than
hey do you want to go see Tangerine so I looked it up and I just looked up movie Tangerine and
the first thing that came up was there's another movie another film called Tangerine called
Tangerine with an s yeah yeah and so I did a bunch of research about that movie. And I bet you there's no transsexuals or sex workers in Tangerines.
In Tangerines, it's about an Estonian soldier and a Georgian soldier who are trapped.
Oh, wait, did I stand corrected?
Well, that's the thing.
They're trapped in a house together, and you watch the trailer, and it's like,
are they going to kill each other?
And so then I went to the screening and I did press
and so it happened to be
Pride Weekend and
this reporter was like
this is a fitting movie to be seen on Pride
Weekend and
I don't know there's a movie called Tangerine
I only know there's a movie called Tangerines
about an Estonian
soldier and a Georgian soldier
so when this reporter asked me,
I was like,
you fucking blew the end of the movie for me.
I didn't know that's how they get through their problems.
By hooking up.
That said, though, Tangerine was a good film.
All right.
I saw the last time I did an episode of this show,
the last movie I had seen was Amy and That Remains,
and I still like it, the Amy Winehouse documentaries.
I want to see it.
It's very good.
Anybody that thinks they don't like her or her music,
if they watch it, I think they would change their tune, so to speak.
Oh.
Have you seen the Nina Simone documentary?
The what?
The Nina Simone documentary that also recently came out.
No.
What Happened Miss Simone?
Is that what it's called?
Yeah, What Happened Miss Simone.
Oh, okay.
It's good?
It is, yeah.
It's, I feel like, another kind of tragic tale of a person with a beautiful voice.
It's interesting, the whole documentary thing, there's so many
of them now, and I've never
seen one.
It's been years, I think, since I've seen a documentary
and afterwards I'm like, that was boring, or that
was bullshit. There's something about documentaries
that if it gets finished and put
out there, other than my own documentaries,
which are just foolish,
if it gets finished, something happened.
You know what I mean?
Like the movie has an ending.
You know,
like it has a point
and an ending
and it's something
really interesting
because how can it get out
into the world
if they just film a subject
that's boring?
The King of Kong
has a bad guy,
twists and turns.
It's as riveting
as any movie.
What's that?
Best sports movie.
King of Kong.
It's great.
It's a 30 on 30,
isn't it? All right, you 30 on 30 isn't it alright you guys
3430
did I say it wrong?
it's time for me to say
let the games begin
gentlemen
we got some name tags
in the audience
and
you know this is like
everyone's trying to convince me
to keep doing shows here
by all bringing name tags.
And thank you for that.
And if you guys want to just go pick
who you want to play for,
just go grab a name tag
and bring it back to your seat.
And while you do that, we'll do this.
We'll be right back.
Hey, hey, hey, everybody.
Comic-Con 2015 has begun.
So whether you're at Comic-Con or wish you were,
rent or own my movie, Chronicon,
from iTunes or on VOD and lots of other places
where you get motion picture entertainment.
And thanks to all of you who have watched and enjoyed the silliness.
Back to the show.
All right, we're back.
Who are you playing for David?
I'm playing for
Avengers Age of Biltron
and it's
you basically just
tape that to a
Tesseract toy
yeah
okay
I just read
A Wrinkle in Time
so I'm really into Tesseracts
these days.
Ben? Ben A?
Thank you, Doug. I'm playing for
Chad Mack's Fury Road.
And there's your face on it.
Yeah, I put my little face on there.
I wish I was in that movie.
What would your name be?
What would my crazy future Mad Max name be?
Yeah.
I don't know.
What would your name be?
You could be Imperium Stoniosa.
Still taking those improv classes?
Yeah.
Yeah, I love these kind of games.
Is this why you're leaving UCB?
A good one will jump into my head later, maybe, but probably not.
I couldn't even tell you the names of the characters that are in Mad Max Fury Road.
There's Randy.
There's, of course, Max.
Cynthia.
Cynthia.
Elliot.
And the Skipper.
Elliot.
Who are you playing for, Ben B?
Fahrenheit Sam 11.
And he seems to have attached it to a Will Ferrell toy?
I think it's George Bush.
I'm not good at history.
History is not my subject.
That doll also
looks like at some point it could have been
a Don Adams doll.
It could have been
like these were old Get Smart toys.
Yeah, talking to his shoe
comes off.
Doesn't work.
Did he put his shit in on the back of that somehow?
He did.
Oh, there it is, on the back of the little label.
He did not, unlike Biltron, he did not use tape.
He used some sort of dangerous metal ring.
Safety pin?
I don't know.
Okay.
Let's talk about it for half an hour.
I threw a shoe at the president.
He did not duck.
Topical.
He took it right in the face.
Yeah, topical from seven years ago.
I am playing for Kaelin them softly.
Well, there I am with a nice shotgun.
Yeah.
That's good Photoshop work.
I'm pointing at somebody who just yelled Amy Adams.
And somebody handed me these.
Why did you hand me these?
Just so I can have something that I don't eat,
this sort of thing.
You want me to throw these cupcakes at somebody?
All right.
Baseball Jordan, Do you want?
You sure?
They look beautiful.
You're full? It's in a box.
Take them home.
Yeah, there you go, buddy.
Gotta give Baseball Jordan
something for his
years of service.
What is he full from?
What are you full from?
He just had a meal or something.
You went to a restaurant called Squirrel?
Oh, that place is great.
Yeah, it's all squirrel meat.
Oh.
Saved the tail for me.
How many years do you think you've been coming to the shows here on Tuesday nights, Jordan?
We've been coming, Leslie and I, since January 2011.
January 2011. January 2011.
Happy anniversary.
And I'm sorry.
Well, thank you for coming
all these times, and I hope to see you
at future shows.
What are you going to do now that you have your
Tuesday nights free?
Probably stay at Disneyland longer, right?
Yeah, they go to Disneyland every Tuesday all day
and then they come here for this.
This is, hold on, this is the show.
Let's get into this.
He was a guest for a few seconds on an episode
when somebody showed up late.
Really?
He got to sit on the panel,
but he showed up eventually, right?
No, the whole episode.
You got through the whole episode?
Oh, that's cool.
All right.
I'm glad one of us remembers this shit.
All right, well, tonight we're going to be playing the two newest games on the show.
I figured that would be a great way to go out.
And the first one is called Whose Tagline Is It Anyway?
And I'm going to say a tagline from a movie
to one of you.
If you can guess the name of the movie
that that's the tagline for,
according to IMDB,
then
you remain in the game.
When you can't think of one, you're out.
It moves to the next person
if you're wrong.
We'll start...
It sounds so heavy. We'll start.
Sounds so heavy.
We'll start on the other end with David Huntsberger.
Can you tell me the movie that had the tagline,
the scariest comedy of all time?
The scariest comedy of all time.
Yeah.
That was the screen.
Can you think of a scary comedy?
Scary movie, the original. First
scary movie? Yeah, that's my guess.
Wrong. Damn. But that's
a really good guess.
What do you think, Ben? A?
Ghostbusters?
No. Damn it.
Ghostbusters 2?
Now listen.
You get one guess.
I just got two.
But Ben B, he could take Ghostbusters 2 if he wants to.
I wouldn't recommend it.
I would.
It would be kind of weird for them to call it anything of all time
when it's the inferior sequel.
Now be fair, it was very inferior.
It came up in the last episode, Inferior sequel. Now, be fair. It was very inferior. Yeah.
It came up in the last episode,
and people in the audience groaned when I said it was bad.
Like, people love Ghostbusters 2.
People a few years younger than us love that movie.
Yeah, and it's pretty watchable.
It's just not as good as the first one.
Could you repeat the tagline?
The scariest comedy of all time.
Is it a Haunted House?
No.
You sure? I am sure.
A Haunted House? No, still no.
But I don't know. Wyatt, do you have
a guess? You're all still going to be in if Wyatt
doesn't get it. We'll move on
to the next one, but if he nails it, he wins
this thing.
The Unknown Known?
Donald Rumsfeld documentary?
I love a good tagline on a documentary.
Is it
Leprechaun? Wait a second,
what's happening now?
Well, I think we've been around.
It's just all... Can I guess? You we'd been around. It's just all...
Can I guess?
You've got to guess.
It's Young Frankenstein.
Ah.
Yeah, Young Frankenstein.
Young Frankenstein.
A Young Frankenstein.
All right.
That was a good game.
Let's try another one.
So far, so good.
It's fun.
Even wrong answers are sort of right in this game.
Because you all picked movies that could have been called that if the
makers had that kind of hubris.
Especially
that Rumsfeld documentary.
David,
we'll start with you. What movie
has the tagline,
Get Ready for Rush Hour?
Seems very easy,
but it's not
is it the sequel
get ready
for Rush Hour
and it's not
Rush Hour
so you say
oh I'm gonna then say
The Chase
oh
Charlie Sheen
yeah
no
damn
Ben A
Rush Hour
the movie great guess do you wanna go Ben A. Rush Hour.
The movie.
Great guess.
Do you want to go ahead and say Rush Hour 2 now and get it over with?
It's obviously not from Rush Hour 2.
Come on.
You were ready for Rush Hour.
It's from Rush Hour 2.
Ben Blacker.
Oh my god, it really wasn't Rush Hour?
Jesus.
Did you think David was being dumb by going with the chase?
I thought he thought, he's a smart guy.
David, what is the tagline from Rush Hour, David?
I would guess it's get ready for Rush Hour.
Can we vote?
I think, I don't know for sure, but I think the tagline for Rush Hour was, these two are crazy.
These streets will never be the same.
Could you repeat the tagline?
Get ready
For Rush Hour
Is there a Rush Limbaugh documentary?
I'll see myself out
Alright, Wyatt
Speed
That's correct
Good guess
Damn it
And speed too, right?
Get ready again for rush hour, but on the water this time.
I put speed in the game because I'm going to be interrupting it on Saturday, August 1st
at the Traverse City Film Festival, which is always a great time.
All right, let's play Reverse Malton, you guys.
This is a brand new twist on a game you've all played before
called the Leonard Malton game.
And Wyatt gets to go first because he won that last game.
And then we'll just go in the opposite direction.
What's happening?
He's just wondering how this Tesseract's going.
Yeah, you kind of have to hold it the whole time?
Yeah, I knew what I was getting into.
You feel like it shouldn't be put on the ground like a flag or something?
It's a toy, and it's still very heavy.
Yeah.
All right, but you're doing all right with it?
Yeah, I feel like it's disrespectful to put it on the ground.
All right.
Did anybody get a good picture of David with the Tesseract?
Because that's a great picture.
You just don't usually see someone standing near that thing as in a superhero outfit or something.
Yeah. And they're not
just a guy
standing around
just on my off hour
I just wondered
for the person
who was waiting
in line
on Franklin Avenue
as we were
walking by
yeah
to go get food
and stuff
were they terrified
or
or did they just
shake their hand
and go
Scientologist.
This game, Reverse Malton, is like the Leonard Maltin game, but also not like it.
We still use the Leonard Maltin app.
I'm going to give you a choice, Wyatt, between three.
I dare say classic motion pictures or certainly well-known motion pictures.
And you're going to pick the one that you think you can name the most actors
who are in it.
Actors and actresses.
I use actors, of course, for both.
And then I'll tell you how many names Leonard lists.
And it has to be how many you can name
out of the ones that Leonard has listed.
In order or out of order?
No order.
Just you've got to name as many as you bid on.
And then we move down the line.
The next person could bid more or say name them, challenge you.
And then if somebody has the unmitigated gall to say they can name all the names,
then the next person down the road just has to say, name them.
There's nowhere else to go from there.
So wait, all...
You've got to hope they fail.
So this is, I'm not 100% clear on what's happening here.
I feel a lot of pressure going first, so...
No, and that's part of it, is with you going first, you're going to really be able to run the table and determine what movie we're going to do.
Okay, so I'll just pick a movie.
Pick a movie that you think you know the most actors from.
Okay. From these three.
Alright. Star Wars,
The Empire Strikes Back,
or Return of the Jedi.
Which one of those three films do you think you can
name the most
actors from?
Kind of a similar group in each.
Yeah.
Little additions here
and there.
I will go Empire
Strikes Back. Okay.
Everybody's favorite. Apparently not
this room's.
Apparently it was four people's favorite.
These guys love
Ewoks. Yeah.
It's a big Ghostb love Ewoks. Yeah. Or they're...
It's a big Ghostbusters 2 crowd.
Yeah.
14 names are listed by Leonard Maltin
as appearing in Empire Strikes Back,
and you can bid anywhere from one to 14 names.
That I can name?
How many you can name.
Okay.
I'll go seven.
That is a super big opening bid.
Yeah, name it.
Okay, you're already getting a challenge from Ben Blacker.
All right.
So Wyatt has to name seven actors who are in Empire Strikes Back.
That's the one.
Episode five.
All right.
Let's do it.
Harrison Ford.
Mm-hmm.
Mark Hamill.
Mm-hmm.
James Earl Jones.
That's three.
Alec Guinness.
Four.
Carrie Fisher.
Five.
Billy Dee Williams Six
That's where
Just one more
Yeah I'm getting there
Shit
Hold on Give me a second shit hold on
give me a second
oh oh oh
okay
Frank Oz
that's it
you did it
wow and then he just left
said fuck all y'all and left.
Can I have his point?
Guns blazing.
Boba Fett as himself.
I don't know if he understands there's more to the game than that.
Maybe he just had to go to the restroom.
But of course, Frank Oz in that movie was the voice of Miss Piggy.
And John Ratzenberger made the list. Frank Oz in that movie was the voice of Miss Piggy.
John Ratzenberger made the list.
David Prowse, of course, who's under the Darth Vader costume.
And Anthony Daniels, who's the voice and the costume of C-3PO.
Peter Mayhew.
That's where I was worried for you, is that the rest of them are all just voices.
Right, yeah.
People in costumes.
So, good job.
You have one point.
We're playing two points.
We'll start on the opposite end there, where David gets to pick the next movie that starts us off.
Oh, dear. And this one's going to be a real challenge.
I apologize in advance.
Name it.
David, can you name more actors from Cannonball Run,
The Cannonball Run, The Cannonball Run 2,
or merely Cannonball?
There's a film called Cannonball.
They're all about that infamous race.
And it was like cameos of everybody in those.
Yeah, so there's lots of names to choose from,
but how many of them do you think you can remember?
I'll just go
the original Cannonball.
Run.
Cannonball Run.
Okay.
That was a close one.
I call it Cannonball.
That was a close one.
I'm like one of those actors
when they come back
from work and I'm like,
oh, I was on Swamp.
You mean people
of the Swamp?
We call it Swamp.
You don't call it P-O-T-S?
I hear they were like that with Hotel Rwanda.
Yeah, I was working on Hotel.
Oh, a remake for dogs?
No, the other way.
Oh, you just gave me a great...
I might have to do something called Hotel for Dugs.
I like it.
Oh, yeah.
David?
That's where you just go to a bunch of different hotels.
I do that already.
Let's just film it.
I'll take the original run, as I call it.
Okay.
15 names.
You're right about the cameos.
15 names.
How many of those do you think you can pull out of thin air?
One. No, two.
Okay, he says
a whopping two names. All right. those do you think you can pull out of thin air? One. No, two. Okay, he says a whopping two names.
To Ben Acker.
Five. Yeah, do it.
Do it.
I know he's never seen this.
Ben Blacker's a real
challenger. You're a thing of Cannonball Run, too.
Alright, so
you've got to name five people that are in the original The Cannonball Run.
The Burt Reynolds.
Dom DeLuise.
They vote my two.
Sammy Davis Jr.
Dean Martin.
Mary Lou Henner.
I mean, Jackie Chan.
I'm sorry, Mary Lou Henner is not listed.
The other four are correct.
Mary Lou Henner is not listed, so David Huntsberger gets the point.
Wait, no, I thought...
That was a really...
Oh, okay.
Hey, guys, do you like hubris?
She might have showed up in the second one, right?
Yeah, probably.
Yeah, damn it.
Love that second one.
Leonard gave both one and two the bomb designation. Because they the, probably. Yeah. Damn it. Love that second one. Leonard gave both one
and two the bomb designation.
Because they the bomb.
Because they are the bomb.
And Mary Lou Henner
is fourth build
on the second one.
So your memory's not too off.
But David gets the point.
The best of them.
No, I think it was Ben
who challenged.
Oh, yeah, Ben challenged.
That's right.
Let's give it to David.
That's right.
Let's give it to David, though.
Let's give it to David.
I like that. That's fair. He's got it to David, though. Let's give it to David. I like that.
That's fair.
He's got a new show coming out Thursday night on Syfy.
He needs a mind.
So he needs the point.
No, Ben Blacker gets the point, but that means we're going to start with Wyatt again and
then go to Ben Blacker.
And you get to choose between these three, Wyatt.
Would you like Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, or Natural Born
Killers?
I love that reaction.
Mmm.
Oh.
I will take
Natural Born Killers.
Okay. That's the last thing
I expected anybody to do.
I will take
Reservoir Dogs.
Okay.
We'll do that in a parallel universe.
Wyatt, there are eight, nine, ten, eleven,
fifteen names listed by Mr. Malton
on his dead app.
All right.
How many of those do you think you can name?
One.
That's a good opening bid.
We'll go to
Ben Blacker.
I'm tempted to challenge you.
I think I can do
two. Three.
Blacker.
Acker. Huntsberger. I know.
I feel like I'd do
three, but not.
I'll say name it.
Name them.
Three?
Yeah, just three.
Yeah, you just name three people, and you're on the board with a point.
Any three people.
I have to pronounce them correctly, right?
Woody Harrelson?
Robert Downey Jr.
And Juliette Lewis. Yes. The top three billed people. Robert Downey Jr. and
Juliette Lewis
yes
the top three
billed people
oh I like to go in over
was
Quentin Tarantino
in that
was he listed in it
I don't
does he
I don't believe he appears in it
I thought he was in it
at some point
I thought there was
acrimony between him
and Oliver Stone
like he didn't like
he didn't like how it turned out
cause that's probably the only...
Is that the only Tarantino script
that he didn't direct himself?
No, True Romance.
True Romance, yeah, that's two.
All right, so like I said,
Ben B., Ben A., and Wyatt are all on the board.
David's the only one that doesn't have a point yet.
Curse this Tesseract.
It's poisoning me.
Yeah, it's really taking all your brain
power away.
Sapping all your knowledge.
Who challenged who on that one?
David challenged him, so
that means we're going to start with Ben
Blacker and go to Wyatt.
And Ben gets to pick
between these three titles.
Would you like
Punch Drunk Love, Crazy Stupid Love, or Can't Buy Me Love?
These are horrible choices.
Yeah, I'm not familiar with those films.
This must be tough.
I'm going to say Punch Drunk Love, I guess.
Okay.
I guess I should warn the guests
backstage that this is a game where
you can do kind of a
poker face.
You could act confident
and then that way you won't get challenged
when you get down to it.
The movies are horrible. That's all I meant.
All of them. They're all horrible movies?
All movies are. Who That's all I meant. All of them. They're all horrible movies? No. All movies are.
Oh.
No.
JK.
JK.
Seth Green farts in Patrick Dempsey's face.
That's a classic.
In Punch Drug Love?
Yes.
Oh, I'm going to say two then.
No, Punch Drug Love is your choice.
Yes.
And Leonard lists a mere five people.
Yeah, I suspected.
I can name one.
Okay. Wyatt? I can name one. Okay.
Wyatt?
I can name two.
Oh, this is your chance.
Do you think you can name three people or more in Punch Drunk Love, David?
Yeah, three.
Name it.
No hesitation.
And this is David's chance to pull a four-way tie
if he can name three people.
Adam Sandler, Philip Seymour
Hoffman, and Louise Guzman.
Those are all correct!
Wow!
I love Louise Guzman.
The Tesseract!
She's great.
Emilee Watson
and Marilyn Ricecup are the women in it,
for people that are into women.
What's the first person's name you said?
Because I can see her face, but I couldn't remember her name.
Emily Watson.
Emily Watson.
Okay.
She's really good in them.
Yeah, she's good all the time.
We've got a four-way tie, you guys.
Exciting.
Exciting.
For the last time, apologies to Put Your Hands Together.
I'll never have to apologize to them again.
I might do it anyway if a show's running long.
Just for the hell of it.
I've selected...
Who challenged who that last time?
Ben challenged David, so that means we're going to start with Wyatt
and work our way back to you guys.
I know, it's crazy.
Start with me a lot.
Yeah, it works out good for you.
But the trouble is, on this tie-breaking one,
I picked a movie ahead of time,
and you don't get to choose.
All right.
That film is Steven Spielberg's hook.
Doug, did Rufio play himself?
You cannot stop people from doing that.
It's also Bill Cosby's favorite chant.
That joke finally works.
Yeah, this was a joke a long time in the making.
Cosby was putting the work in when this movie was out, though.
Lettered list, 12 names.
How many people from the motion picture hook
do you think you can name, Wyatt?
One.
That's a strong opening bit.
Is it coming to me, or...
Wait, wait, what did I say?
Oh, you were involved in the last skirmish,
so we go to the people that didn't get to participate.
Oh, I see, okay.
So it starts with Ben Blacker.
I can do...
What was I? Four?
He thinks he can name four people.
I can do four.
I'm going to say
five. He takes it up a notch.
Five. One notch. Five fucking
people.
Thank you. I'm people. Thank you.
Name them.
I'm going to say name them, yeah.
Name them.
No, no.
Wyatt's acting like he's going to get the point.
You'd have to know a lot of the kids' names, I think.
I don't think so.
Really?
I had a big cast.
Okay, so David says name them.
No, Wyatt says name them.
You can't just jump in out of order.
You just seconded by name them. Am I to name them. You can't just jump in out of order. You just seconded by name them.
Am I to name them?
You can name five.
You win.
If you can't, David is our winner tonight.
And just know this is pitted completely against you.
Yeah, the Tesseract is...
I feel like it's tearing us apart.
It's our fault.
That's what a Tesseract does.
Sure, probably.
It tears people apart.
Look it up.
Five names listed by letter of all.
By height.
Robin Williams.
That's one.
Charlie Korsmo.
Whoa.
Wow.
Second in knowing kids' names.
The Child Bob Hoskins.
Dustin Hoffman.
Have I said Julia
Roberts? No, you haven't, are you?
No, Maggie Smith.
That's six names.
You overdid it.
You over won.
Phil Collins,
of course.
And Gwyneth Paltrow.
Glenn Close, right?
And also...
Rufio?
But Glenn Close,
not listed by Leonard
because she was dressed up
as a man
and had some weird name
in the titles, I think.
I don't know.
But that means
that Ben Acker
is our winner, everybody.
History.
What was the guy's name
who played Smee?
Smee was Bob Hoskins.
Why do you have an envelope that says there's a shithead inside, and then you didn't put one in there?
You went to all that trouble to not get your shithead read.
No, I'll read it. What do you want me to say?
Okay. I didn't know those people existed.
It's quite heavy. It didn't know those people existed.
It's quite heavy.
It's very heavy.
All right.
Does this have a shit in on the back?
It does.
I won, but it's a good shit. Oh, there it is.
It's on a rainbow.
That's so cute.
They kind of freestyled it and wrote a whole sentence that won't make sense when I say it,
but I'll try anyway.
And then this one on the Tesseract.
Pass that Tesseract back to the
proper owner. I don't want that to get...
Yeah, I'll take that too.
Feltron.
I agree with that.
The shithead so far. Let's see.
That's crazy.
You see it?
Wait, why did...
Why did you give me the...
I don't need the shithead for the...
Wait, who won?
One of these won.
I just like the shithead.
Oh, you just like that they made a rainbow
and wrote Donald Trump is a racist
bigoted shithead on there?
Okay, I don't mind saying that.
I just thought it was rainbows or shitheads.
Oh, because she already told me.
So are you in cosplay?
It's just a casual day off.
Just still hating the environment.
Coming back from Comica, I still hate it, but wow.
It's an everyday thing.
Yeah, he's got a real Hiddleston thing going on there.
All right.
Let's do the plugs, you guys.

points.
I should have put a disclaimer that there shouldn't be a second part.
