Starting point is 00:00:00 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 everybody My name is Doug And I love movies Yeah This is Doug Lo I love movies. Yeah. This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you from Comedy Bar in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Starting point is 00:00:53 during the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday, September 16th to Ocean's Eleven. I'm checking my Leonard Maltin iPhone app to make sure that it works in here because we're in kind of a basement setting and I'd hate to find that out later in the show although if I found out right now I don't know what I would do I'm fucked either way
Starting point is 00:01:21 but it seems to be working so I'll just leave the application open and see what happens. It's so dark in here, even though it's 6pm. Can we get the lights up just a little bit so I can see? Did you guys bring name tags? Oh, look at that!
Starting point is 00:01:40 Oh, cupcakes. Aren't you clever? What a clever way to get the stoner's attention i'll attach my name to a bunch of cupcakes and what do you have right there what does your say maddie but it's your your letters all written out and what style is that what would you even call that and that's somebody brought a bag of cookies is that what that is? Yeah. Oh, it's garbage. You pulled something out of the garbage and wrote Margo on it. Or did you search
Starting point is 00:02:11 through the garbage until you found something with Margo written on it? That would be weird. Alright. What's that over there? What is that, a book? James and the Giant Peach. And your name is Peach? I could do that joke all night. What's that big one right there?
Starting point is 00:02:29 I can't even read it. It's so big. It's a bunch of... Oh, I got to... Bring it up here, sir. Or a weird lady. All right. All right, so he strung together
Starting point is 00:02:42 a bunch of pictures of movie posters. And I don't know why. Why does it say J-A-T at the beginning? Jason. I couldn't find one that started with Jason. Oh, okay. Jason in Laue, we good night. And good lucky number 11.
Starting point is 00:03:06 Good company, men. All right, nice job. But here's where I get into trouble, because on Twitter, when I play Build a Title on there on occasion, the titles are written out, so it's how they're written and flow into each other. And on the podcast, I like out so it's how they're written and flow into each other and on the podcast i like to do it more how they sound so so away we good night and good luck doesn't
Starting point is 00:03:32 work but uh i'm sure there's some other movie that starts with the word go and of course there's just go but as we've as we've heard in previous episodes that gets you nowhere to just try to add the last word that was already there but uh you know it's still a lovely graphic and it's big and looks like you had to like fold it up to put in your pocket to come over here to get through customs or something i had to go through customs uh yesterday and um it's hard to explain why two guys from canada are driving one guy from america into canada without making it sound work related because we just wanted to cruise right through we're just going to the film festival but why are you guys from here and he's from there?
Starting point is 00:04:25 Oh, we're friends. Friends that go pick him up and drive him across the border. That shouldn't be suspicious. So did you guys hear the episode that plopped today? And I actually, a few of you have already, I actually won the Leonard Maltin game for once it was very exciting
Starting point is 00:04:50 it was a studio episode and if you haven't heard it yet which I guess you haven't most of you, spoiler alert it'll still be fun to listen knowing that I win and I'll be taping episodes of Doug Loves Movies
Starting point is 00:05:05 in New York City, Austin, Texas and Minneapolis, Minnesota coming up soon. And all the dates and hyperlinks are at DougLovesMovies.com The movie on the plane flying to Buffalo the other day was Pirates of the Caribbean
Starting point is 00:05:22 One Strange Night Pirates of the Caribbean one strange night and I continued to not watch it. Yeah. I held strong and didn't watch it but at one point I looked up
Starting point is 00:05:38 and I saw Johnny Depp running across a long table while eating a piece of food. Which I think sums up how exciting all of the Pirates movies are. Yeah, he runs across the table, he's got a bagel in his hand. It's hilarious. I had a great time doing shows this week in Sioux Falls, Tucson, and the aforementioned Buffalo.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Apologies to everyone in Buffalo for me opening my set with Hello Toronto. I was excited. I was excited about coming to Toronto. I jumped the gun. It was one city early on that. Thanks to Midnight Movies programmer Colin Geddes. He hooked me up to see three movies yesterday at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Starting point is 00:06:27 I saw Lovely Molly, Hysteria, and The Day. Why did you go, ooh, when I said Hysteria? Because, yeah, it's about the invention of the vibrator. And... Yeah, it's called hysteria because this one doctor thought that women suffer the reason that they're emotional is because they're hysterical
Starting point is 00:06:52 and that they just need to somebody give them a good finger blast laughter laughter laughter it's I don't know about that movie I it's sort of I don't know about that movie.
Starting point is 00:07:06 It's sort of... I don't know. I guess you guys need to... If that sounds appealing to you, then go see it. It's weird how it's really dirty, but also super stuffy and not dirty at the same time. It's like if King's Speech met Last Tango in Paris. But nobody ever took their clothes off so that's probably not something that makes you want to run out and see it
Starting point is 00:07:33 but I'll talk more about the movies that I've seen here later, I saw another one this afternoon but I also want to thank Colin for helping hook me up with my guests for tonight, a couple of my guests for tonight are directors of films here at the Toronto International Film Festival. And I keep saying the full thing because I don't, for some reason, I feel weird calling it TIFF. Like, I feel like you have to have been a few times, like, to just walk around going,
Starting point is 00:08:00 So I'm at TIFF, and I saw a lot of great films at TIFF. It just sounds like an insider word that I don't deserve yet. And it also doesn't sound very masculine when you say it. But I'll get used to it, and I'll work out my problems with it. But two directors of films that people are raving about here at the festival that I cannot wait to see. And then also, another guest is courtesy of being a friend of mine from Last Comic Standing, so please welcome to the stage Gareth Evans,
Starting point is 00:08:30 Ben Wheatley, and Debra DiGiovanni. We created the most awkward setup for you guys to get into, chairs. I'm just sitting here like, what, am I in your way? What do you want me to do for you? what am i in your way what what what do you want me to do for you uh let's just start off by talking about the the movie makers that are here deb lady sit this one out for a second uh let's start with gareth hello gareth hello that's gareth's voice everybody everybody listening you know there's a hundred or so people here today, but I should warn you guys that out there in the world, a good, I'd say at least 1,200 people
Starting point is 00:09:27 listen. So be very, very nervous. No, it's no big deal. But your movie, Gareth, is called The Raid, correct? True.
Starting point is 00:09:42 I didn't want to get too far into it and be talking to the wrong guy. I should have said no. I totally would have fallen for it. I would have been like, Ben, your movie's called The Raid. Ben's movie's called Kill List and you can see why I could get them confused
Starting point is 00:10:00 because they both sound fucking awesome. Kill List and The Raid, what else do you need to know about those movies other than that they are Midnight Madness selections? And yours, Gareth, The Raid, played a few nights ago? Yeah, we opened Midnight Madness then. On the first night, on the 8th. And how did that go?
Starting point is 00:10:20 It was fucking crazy. Because it's a crazy-ass crowd that's super into it like when the piracy thing comes on before the movie people in the audience go are so that's fun and uh that gets you in the mood for an exciting uh movie about uh essentially i saw the trailer for The Raid, and I recommend it. If you haven't seen it yet, just YouTube it. It just looks like it's just a nonstop action machine.
Starting point is 00:10:55 Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. You're so soft-spoken for a guy that makes... It's really violent, right? Yeah. I'm a pretty nice guy, actually, even though I tend to... My job consists of telling people to punch each other in the face.
Starting point is 00:11:08 There's a lot of face punching in this. Yeah, and kick in as well. Now, when you say telling them to do it, isn't... This movie is technically Indonesian? Yeah, it's an Indonesian martial arts movie, basically, but I'm not Indonesian, obviously.
Starting point is 00:11:24 Well, I'm, Indonesian obviously well I you know maybe half so how did you get how do you how do you get signed up to direct an Indonesian action movie if you're not Indonesian my wife owns the company so she can about it your wife's Indonesian yeah she's okay and but you had like a translator or something on the set? I've done two films on Indonesia. On the first one, I needed a translator a lot. But then in the process between the first one and the second one,
Starting point is 00:11:55 I learned Indonesian then. Of course, because you learned the phrase you needed, which was punch him in the face. Once you've learned how to say that, you're good to go. Well, congratulations. Once you've learned how to say that, you're good to go. Well, congratulations. I don't want to ask something that's incorrect,
Starting point is 00:12:12 leading to revealing something you don't want to, but it already has a distributor or it just got a distribution deal? Yesterday, we were very proud to say that we actually sold the entire world. So it should come somewhere soon. Yay! The world! It should come somewhere soon. Yay! The world.
Starting point is 00:12:31 And then Kill List is directed by Ben Wheatley. Am I pronouncing that right? Yes. You guys are both going to be so loquacious today. I can feel it. I can feel it. And the story of Kill List, from what I understand, also has an awesome trailer that you can see. And I'm going to see it.
Starting point is 00:12:47 It's the Midnight Madness movie, Tomorrow Night. Correct? It's the last one, yeah. Yeah, the last one of the series of Midnight movies. And all those movies, you're guaranteed there's going to be some fucked up things that happen. And Kill List looks like it's no exception. Because the critics are raving about it in your in your uh homeland and uh because it's all over the trailer and they say things like uh scariest hitman movie
Starting point is 00:13:12 ever and best hit they just keep talking about how it's a great hitman movie and do you think that's a reasonable way to describe it yeah absolutely yeah there are people who kill people for money in it they are hit men yeah and that and and then there's a load of horrible shit as well yeah but they call it like scary and suspenseful which like I don't those aren't words that come to mind for me with movies that are just about hit men they're usually very cool and calculated and you don't you know you don't really care what happens to them but this sounds like it's really involving it has that element to it I got a take a question if you can't
Starting point is 00:13:55 answer with a yes or no it's like I'm interviewing a band but no you guys use you obviously do you let your your filmmaking do the talking and you have publicists it fucked you over by talking you into coming here it's a visual medium you say I'm lost I'm just lost on just my voice I've dealing pictures is this what all podcasts are like? I just thought it was just blokes on their own with laptops but are they all like this with like a hundred strangers? There are some that have an audience
Starting point is 00:14:36 but mine is I think is one of the leaders in always having an audience Is it? Yeah If that's something you could claim always having an audience. Is it? Yeah. If that's something you could claim. Is this your bedroom? I have facilities like this in other cities.
Starting point is 00:14:53 I usually do it in Los Angeles. So if you're in L.A. pushing either of your films, you can come by and visit again. I'll bring in a bunch of people that talk a lot to be on it with you. Debra's so polite over there. Most of my comedian friends would have been jumping in and making fun of everything. You're just sitting there laughing. That's me being Canadian.
Starting point is 00:15:16 That's me being, I'll let these people, they own us. You can take me and do stuff. I don't know. Oh, my God. What? I know. Yeah, I've already terrified. Oh my God. What? I know. Yeah, I've already terrified
Starting point is 00:15:26 the foreigners. Do you see? We already had that when I tried to get into the country. Did you really? Taken aside to the naughty room
Starting point is 00:15:34 where they punish people who only have hand luggage for some fucking reason. You know, I'm only here for three days. I've just got a small bag with some pants in it. You know, I don't... Yeah three days. I've just got a small bag with some pants in it. You know, I don't...
Starting point is 00:15:45 Yeah, that's a likely explanation. What am I going to smuggle from London to fucking Toronto? The whole... Don't get me started about the whole... Please. The whole airport security situation is ridiculous. They were miserable. I know that.
Starting point is 00:16:04 Yeah, yeah. Some of us are happy here, though. I got through no problem. Yeah, yeah, well, that's one thing the listeners don't know is the difference in your haircuts. It's so nice in Canada that I saw a sign today of a storefront that said,
Starting point is 00:16:30 watch your step, because there's one step to get up into the store, which is funny enough, but then underneath that, sorry for any inconvenience this one step may have caused. I'm sure he wasn't a watch your step watch the step
Starting point is 00:16:49 watch your step yeah yeah oh yeah watch it buddy sorry for the inconvenience but I'm gonna fuck you up so you must know a lot of cool Indonesian swear words right oh plenty yeah
Starting point is 00:17:03 yeah yeah what you wanna know you know like it doesn't go out in Indonesia right a lot of cool Indonesian swear words, right? Oh, plenty, yeah. Yeah, yeah. What do you want to know? You know, like... This doesn't go out in Indonesia, right? Well, you know, if they have a computer, do they have computers
Starting point is 00:17:14 in Indonesia? One or two, yeah. They can totally get it and they're going to hear that and they're going to be so mad at me that I'm going to have to apologize to the entire country.
Starting point is 00:17:24 So what do you want to know? Oh, I was just like, what's a really filthy word? We'll try to guess what it is. Contal. Cunt. Close. The other one. The other one?
Starting point is 00:17:39 I clenched for a second. Do you mean boys? Boys parts? I don't know the names for those. So how is it again? Canto? Canto.
Starting point is 00:17:52 Canto. That means cock. Oh. All right. There you go. If you'd like to know a cunt, it's mimic. Oh, see, that sounds pretty. Doesn't that sound jazzy?
Starting point is 00:18:01 Yeah. Show everybody your mimic. Doesn't that sound jazzy? Show everybody your mimic. It sounds like it should be wearing a babushka with a mimic, doesn't it? It sounds... Never mind. I was walking down the street
Starting point is 00:18:15 and I saw a mimic and a babushka. What are you going to do? So, Debra, do you go to the, it's right here, you live here in Toronto, do you ever get to attend any of the films?
Starting point is 00:18:30 No, not so much. It's because everything starts again, you know what I mean? It's like it's usually this kind of the college scene starts again for, so it's like the minute the festival starts,
Starting point is 00:18:39 I'm always on the road, so no, not really. Well, I'm glad, I suck. I'm glad that I'm here, really really we're lucky that we got yeah we got you here that's true because i'm usually i'm usually out and about that this time so do you go to the movies though when you're on the road i do go to the movies i watch probably like you i watch most of my movies on planes i hate to say it but it's true it's you know it happens
Starting point is 00:18:59 it's a way to get them in yeah so i would say movies not films so much unfortunately so you know yeah they don't have film festivals on planes. I don't think the raid or kill list is ever going to be on a plane. Au contraire. Oh, hello. But, you know, an American plane, probably not. I think Air Canada is one of the biggest buyers of weird movies, isn't it? Because they give you individual players
Starting point is 00:19:25 so you could see something a little bit more graphic. You know, like United Airlines, they're not letting you see anything but... Yeah, they have Black Swan on there. Sarah Jessica Parker movies. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah. Seriously.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Black Swan, though. Black Swan. It's a short film, though, isn't it? Watch it. Yes. It's only a preview. Yeah. So I just like that.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Watching people watch Black Swan. What's the last movie you saw? Me? Yeah. Oh, Thor. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Listen, I have a lot of gay boys in my life.
Starting point is 00:19:56 I have a lot of gay boys. And they sat me down and we enjoyed. All we did was just freeze that one shirtless scene. You've watched it. Come on. And yeah. And Natalie Portman is in that. Can you believe it?
Starting point is 00:20:06 That is shocking. She goes from Oscar to Thor. Oh my God. How did she do it? I don't know. It's horrible. It's horrible, isn't it? She shows up.
Starting point is 00:20:12 They put on a different costume. It's like she's a different person. She says lines. She was in every movie for a couple months there. Your Highness. Her Highness. His Highness. Was she in that too?
Starting point is 00:20:24 She's the queen of pretending. Says that right at the top of her resume. That's her job. That is her job, pretending. She's the queen Amidala of pretending. To be more specific. Thor. So you guys, let's start with Gareth.
Starting point is 00:20:46 What have you seen? Have you seen anything else at the festival while you've been here? Yeah, I've been to a couple of the midnight screens and watched Your Next, the Adam Wingard film, and that was brilliant, really good. Yeah, I had a ticket for Your Next. It started at 4 and would have gotten over too late for me to come over here, so I didn't get to go, but I've only heard good things about that movie.
Starting point is 00:21:04 It's really, really good really good yeah there's some good movies here this year probably every year that's my first time did I mention that and what have you seen anything been I just flown in about 40 minutes ago I did see suckerucker Punch on the plane. Wow. That's a weird film, isn't it? Fucking hell. Those girls are so close to being raped all the time.
Starting point is 00:21:32 Yeah. But isn't it like, it's like Shutter Punch Inception, isn't it? It's all the same film. Interesting. It's, well, I certainly... Punch Island. So you're saying it's well I certainly I'm child so you're saying it's like it's like Inception with
Starting point is 00:21:52 tits very short skirts and quite interested in Japanese stuff yeah and then slightly
Starting point is 00:22:01 having a go at the first world war which was weird what was that all about yeah a slight go at it saying World War, which was weird. What was that all about? Yeah, a slight go at it, saying, what if the Nazis were zombies? That might explain something. Don't worry about killing them,
Starting point is 00:22:12 because they're already dead, with a machine gun. What? What the fuck? And when they cuddle the boy, and they go, oh, don't worry, boy, we're here, girls with mini skirts because because we know all about the first world war what i was confused by that film even even in its four three weird
Starting point is 00:22:35 back of a seat version that i saw in the plane they must have cut some bits out of it for this for the plane i reckon i don't think so no i don't think so either. I saw it all. It didn't make much sense. And it's PG-13, which I love the hypocrisy of the PG-13, because they're constantly in danger of being raped, but since there's no
Starting point is 00:22:58 bloodshed or raping, just the threat of it, it's okay. And they get brutalized. Like, you can hit a woman in the face really hard and get a PG-13, and you can't do that, you know, like, if you hit her and blood comes out, then it gets an R.
Starting point is 00:23:14 It's crazy. Well, she says R. What's that? She goes R. Now you're getting it. He gets off a long flight having watched Sucker Punch on the plane
Starting point is 00:23:33 and gets sucker punched again told that he's got to go up here at a comedy podcast in a basement very far away from where the festival is happening. I didn't even know there was an audience here when I went in the back room.
Starting point is 00:23:47 You thought we were just going to be sitting and just chatting? Fuck knows, I don't know. No one told me anything. It's a mysterious world, podcasting. It is. I like these lights in my eyes. It's really like an interrogation. Are there any interrogation scenes
Starting point is 00:24:06 in the raid? No. Because it's all a raid the entire time, right? You don't have to go back to how you got your information. No, we just punch people and kick people and ask questions later. Is there a massive hard drive in it?
Starting point is 00:24:27 Spoilers. Sorry, Venner. I saw a thing today called The Incident. Incident isn't really, it's kind of a pretty soft word for what happens. It's the asylum movie, right? Some mental patients take over an asylum.
Starting point is 00:24:56 Oh, did you hear about that incident? Where all those people that were in the asylum were viciously murdered. What an incident. That was a real fender bender. But at least when you're watching the movie, when the title comes up, it's like, incident.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Like, it's in red letters and something, you know, blood's dripping off. Or there's a bum bum when it comes up. Something to say. It's not like an incident like, oh, I bumped into Marge at the store. Alright, how are we doing on time? Let's see.
Starting point is 00:25:38 Let's see how we're doing. Deborah? Yes? Yes? So we met on Last Comic Standing where we were... Debra yes so we met on Last Comic Standing where we were humiliated daily forced to live in a hotel together that's true
Starting point is 00:25:52 the season we were on we got separate rooms it's true when we were doing that show together I have to say this Debra that you see right now, that is her 24-7. What? Loud and terrified? Yeah, just obnoxious.
Starting point is 00:26:13 No, just like always fun and pleasant and happy. Oh, well, yeah. I don't know how you do it. It's true. A lot of drugs. A lot of drugs. That's because I spend a lot of time by myself so i'm excited to be out do you know what i mean that's it it's all the people i contact my breaks yeah last
Starting point is 00:26:31 comic standing there was always like nine more of us standing around so it was like wow it's exciting you must just totally power down when you're alone and you're like the most quiet yeah Ben's nodding off jet lag what time is it do you have anything else you have to do tonight do you have to go to any more events
Starting point is 00:26:55 or interviews or anything yeah I'm going out for dinner oh dinner that'll be nice yeah that's good and uh
Starting point is 00:27:00 yeah that's it and then just be really confused about the time I think I'll probably go to bed really late and then wake up really early that's it. And then just be really confused about the time, I think. I'll probably go to bed really late and then wake up really early. That's my plan.
Starting point is 00:27:09 That's a good idea. It's inevitable. You'll be on the right time frame for your midnight movie tomorrow night. Yeah. Well, it's always the terror of these things. The only one thing you can do waiting for the midnight screening is you know get drunk And that usually starts about morning So it's quite a long day
Starting point is 00:27:35 He can't complain, you know, and then you go to a Q&A at the end of it when you're fucked I'd already asked you about distribution Would you want to? Do you have one? Yes, I have one. It is distributed, yeah, in the US, yeah. Oh, right on. IFC.
Starting point is 00:27:56 Yeah, IFC is doing it. Oh, fantastic. Good deal. Good, good people. I knew it. I knew you both had it, but I wanted to let you make the announcement. We play some games on the show from time to time.
Starting point is 00:28:13 See, the people like it. For some reason. I don't think... This may be the first show in quite a while where I've subjected three guests that have not heard the podcast into... Yeah, exactly. I've heard it.
Starting point is 00:28:30 I've listened to you. Okay, you've heard it, but people say that all the time. You scrub through it, don't you? It used to be when people would say it, when a publicist would set it up, or when I'd talk to the person personally
Starting point is 00:28:45 about being on the show, I'd say, just listen to an episode so you know what you're in for. And they listen for a while and go, oh, it's just Doug asking questions about movies and he doesn't even know what state he's in. This is going to be easy. And then they don't listen to the games
Starting point is 00:29:03 at the end of the show or the back half of the show and then so then when they're out here they're very confused by it and then some people listen to it they're still confused by it so yeah so we'll see what happens today but you know because because the audience wants it we have to we have to play it should we play a little Build a Title first? This is a game where you're not playing for anyone in the audience. It's just for fun. Or for torture, depending on how you look at it.
Starting point is 00:29:42 And I keep thinking of that movie, The Incident. The strangest thing happened down at the asylum. This one guy was working there, and then he wasn't working there anymore because his head was gone. Crazy incident. Oh, I guess I'm going to have to use a Sharpie because I don't have a regular pen. Here's how Build a Title works.
Starting point is 00:30:08 We start with a title. I've selected a title. This is a film. A lot of people love it. It was shot in Toronto. Some would call it a classic. The film is Firehouse Dog. I don't even know if it was supposed to take place in Toronto
Starting point is 00:30:25 what would you guys do if you were told yeah we're going to make this movie about New York or Chicago or wherever and they go but we're filming it in Toronto would you be okay with that give it a try everything looks the same to me
Starting point is 00:30:40 so it's all cool see that's the thing a lot of people think that Toronto skyline looks like New York skyline, but there's some distinct differences. I went to Vancouver, and I couldn't believe it was so much like Caprica. They must have modeled it on that place place like that was the future or something but that is vancouver's a better double because it you know kind of like double it sort of looks like washington state no it looks very much like vancouver yeah yeah a hundred percent vancouver oh
Starting point is 00:31:22 this the skyline you're right the skyline in every city has some building in there That totally gives it away Like that.21 in San Francisco Or that other thing in Seattle Okay Space needle So we're going to play Build a Title with Firehouse Dog Build a Title, of course, Build a Title of course is a game
Starting point is 00:31:47 that this gentleman out here attempted with his sign Jason is that your name? Okay Jason And so we'll start with Deb Okay Here's all you got to do Deb Take Firehouse Dog
Starting point is 00:32:00 We just need you to add another title to that movie of another movie It can be a movie that ends with the word fire take Firehouse Dog, we just need you to add another title to that movie of another movie. It can be a movie that ends with the word fire, or a movie that begins with dog. Or if there is one, a movie that begins with house dog. Oh! I don't think there is.
Starting point is 00:32:20 Oh! Here we go. St. Elmo's Firehouse Dog. Love it! Ha! Ha! Ha! Oh, here we go. St. Elmo's Firehouse Dog. Love it. I'm going to have to add something onto that. Yes. Good luck, Ben.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Yeah, now you have to come up with a title that ends with the word saint. I drifted off there while you were explaining it. What? What the fuck? So it ends in what? Ends in saint or begins with dog. A movie. Oh,
Starting point is 00:32:52 saint, firehouse, dog day afternoon. Ooh. Like, you didn't even pause. Oh, let's go.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Afternoon. Afternoon. Hmm. go afternoon he went he went from caring to vicious we just met that's really mean that oh it's survival man I didn't know it was automatic didn't know what I was doing I don't give a shit about this yeah I will murder you so how does this game work again what have I got to do you do have a tough you are in a tough spot here you have to come up with a movie that ends with the word the only thing i had the saint is is pretty much it uh or or uh starts with the word noon or afternoon so it has to start dog after day afternoon i'm on this one uh it's hard enough just to remember the other i know uh does anybody know don't yell it out if you have one.
Starting point is 00:34:05 I got one with saint, but I'm kind of cheating on it. But how the fuck does this work again? You think you have a movie that ends in the word saint? Kind of, but can I cheat a little bit with it? Maybe. Let's hear it. Let's see how creative it is. Okay. Boondock Saints.
Starting point is 00:34:25 Come on. I love how supportive you guys are. Thank you, everyone. But who would ever say Boondog Saints almost fire? That's like how a five-year-old talks. But that was a good... That's probably as close to a correct answer
Starting point is 00:34:45 as we're going to get at this point. Is there a movie that starts with noon? Well, there's The Saint, like you said. Yeah, The Saint. We throw out The in this game. So that's it, right? It was a pretty short build-a-title. But let me read it out.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Let me read it out for fun. St. Elmo's Firehouse Dog Day Afternoon I was thinking from dog you could go to remember that movie Dog Eat Dog
Starting point is 00:35:13 Man Bites Dog that's it remember that movie that I'm not thinking of the right movie I knew I knew the movie you were thinking of
Starting point is 00:35:23 yeah you knew there's a Hong Kong film called Dog Bite Dog. Really? Yeah, Dog Bite Dog is a Hong Kong film. You could use that. Is that good, though? It's okay, yeah. It's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:35:32 All right. I love that Man Bites Dog. Yeah, that's good. That's an intense movie. What do your parents think of the movies that you make? My dad likes them, but my mom finds them a little bit violent. My gran loves them all
Starting point is 00:35:45 My gran she's like 83 Oh that because that skips a generation Yeah exactly She loves she loves violent films She grew up
Starting point is 00:35:53 watching them with me and she called me up about two or three weeks ago and she said I just saw this wonderful film you should definitely watch it 82 83 years old
Starting point is 00:36:02 grey permed hair Kill Bill She's brilliant volume 1 and 2 you think she sat through the whole thing? well just the first one that's got some pretty good stuff
Starting point is 00:36:16 for grandma in there speaking of decapitations where is that in the second one? I get him confused if the thing's on TV I watch it all the way through, even if it's with commercials and changing pussy to party. I hope that's the version my gran watched.
Starting point is 00:36:37 Oh, yeah, that's true. But it's still pretty violent when they show it on TV. What about you, Ben? Does your family like your filmmaking? My sister went to see the last film. My mum's too scared. She just won't even go?
Starting point is 00:36:54 She wants to, but I told her not to. Because she'll get upset. She was upset by the last one, so this one's much worse. I just saw your last one Two weeks ago by the way Oh
Starting point is 00:37:07 Cheers man If any of you haven't seen it yet Watch it It's brilliant It's a pound And it costs a pound In Poundland at the moment Oh really
Starting point is 00:37:14 In the UK Yeah which is a shop For stuff for a pound Which everyone's been Telling me on Twitter Which I'm really Fucking happy about That's some back-end percentage
Starting point is 00:37:25 you're going to get off that one. Yeah, I don't think I get shit all from it. But it's exciting that people are going to see it for... I'm happy for people getting a bargain. Can't be upset about that. Were you the voice of Mel Gibson's puppet in The Beaver? I've not seen Jodie Foster's Beaver.
Starting point is 00:37:59 All right. It's time to get real serious. This next game, you guys, if you thought that was tricky. It's time to get real serious. This is this next game, you guys. If you thought that was tricky. It's the start. Here come the cupcakes. It's time to play
Starting point is 00:38:15 the Leonard Maltin game. Leonard Maltin, of course, is a film critic who probably doesn't even watch your movies. I'm guessing this is the part where we pick people by their names, right? Yeah, this is that part. It gets pretty exciting when all the tags come up. There's some sort of fish with Tara written on it.
Starting point is 00:38:39 And a boob. And a what? A boob? Why is it a fish and a boob? Oh, Piranha 3D. The piranha's gonna eat the boob. Not like you've murdered a woman. All right.
Starting point is 00:38:50 And then sitting next to her, sitting next to the, the Tirana boob is Smelly and, uh, oh, Shelly. Shelly. So, and then of course there's the cupcakes over here.
Starting point is 00:39:02 There's a decapitated head back there. That's crazy, those cupcakes. Is that, what's, is that a big head back there? What's going on there? I could be over here. There's a decapitated head back there, isn't there? That's crazy, those cupcakes. Is that a big head back there? What's going on there? I could be in there. It's a piñata? It's a piñata? Oh, guys.
Starting point is 00:39:13 All right, so just go out into the audience and just select who you'd like to play for and take the name tag from them, please, at this time. All at the same time? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, just go do it. I'll hang out over here. These are the only rules. We're not going to be murdered as we step out. It's the weirdest cult
Starting point is 00:39:34 that I have. Everyone brings a name tag and a weapon. Oh, why did they go for the fish in the tit? They're going deep. They go deep into the crowd. Yay. All right.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Look at that. So. That's supposed to be me? Holy shit. I thought it was Caillou, that kid. That child show. Hold the bottom. I think that candy comes out of the microphone.
Starting point is 00:40:15 Wow, and it really does have candy in it. Yeah. But you go, a pinata can't just sit on a table like this. It would be weird to beat it with a bat on a table. It's full of candy. I'd love to smash that thing. That's Meredith.
Starting point is 00:40:36 Meredith, okay. I don't blame you for laughing, Ben, because this is the worst name tag I've ever seen. Name tag. What do I do for a name tag? Oh, I don't blame you for laughing, Ben, because this is the worst name tag I've ever seen. Name tag. What do I do for a name tag? Oh, I know. I'll make a piñata of someone else's head. Name tag.
Starting point is 00:40:56 I was actually laughing, because when you said about smashing it, it was like, you know, in the UK, if you say you're going to smash that thing, it means you're going to fuck it. Oh, right. That's what Doug meant.
Starting point is 00:41:10 He's hysterical. That is totally what I meant. Yeah. Maybe after the podcast. Yeah. That would be quite the image in front of 120 people. I'd like to see you smash that thing.
Starting point is 00:41:21 That's a movie. That's a movie. I'm going to smash the candy out of that thing. I think you could take it in both holes. I'm going to smash that head until candy comes out of it. I love that. That should be the new thing. I'm going to smash you until candy comes out, baby.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Right? But now you just made me realize, you should probably open up a shop where you sell pinata heads, but it should all just be Gwyneth Paltrow. That's a good time. And so Ben picked the... Titfish. Titfish!
Starting point is 00:42:04 Oh, now that I see it up close it makes perfect sense You can even wear it around your neck It's got a chain on it And yeah it's Titfish Oh That's seriously a wrecked nipple too That's crazy And someone named Sean Figured out that a copy of Sean of the Dead
Starting point is 00:42:28 is a clever way to go for a Sean name tag. And he wrote Sean again. So it's Sean of the Dead Sean. And that's... There's a number on the back. Oh, no, no. On the back, everybody writes who they want me to call a shithead at the end of the show if they lose. I think they did on terrorists, too.
Starting point is 00:42:51 So don't say who it says, but I'd still want to see. And then there's not one on this, is there? There's no shithead on the back of that. Just Meredith. So we'll have to have her. If Deb loses, we'll have to have her come back up and tell me who to call a shithead. But it's just a little consolation prize. So don't feel bad if you lose today, guys, because they'll get some sort of...
Starting point is 00:43:12 Hang on. Losing. What's the losing? This is competition time now, isn't it? Oh, I mean, you know, as opposed to not winning. Like, there's no real... I thought we just won. There's no real winners or losers.
Starting point is 00:43:24 But there is one person that's going to go home with a laundry bag full of stuff that I've assembled from all you guys and from the good people at the Toronto International Film Festival I've got tickets to two tickets to see
Starting point is 00:43:40 The Day which is a movie I saw last night that I enjoyed it's going to be at 9.45 tomorrow night. And that's one of the midnight movies. Did one of you guys say you saw that one? Yeah, I saw that one. You saw that one? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:54 Yeah. That guy Dominic Monaghan, Dominominin. You know Dominominin from Lost? He came up and said hello to me. And you know what that means? He's a pot smoker. I have pot dar. It's like
Starting point is 00:44:14 K-dar, but with weed. And I know when people smoke weed. You brought this too? Yeah, that's our first movie. That's all I had left to bring with me today. And how do you pronounce it? Marantau?
Starting point is 00:44:27 That's actually exactly how you pronounce it. Ah! Boom! So check that out. I also got a copy of, they gave it to me and I read it. So now I'm going to pay it forward, a copy of Tom Lennon and Robert Van Garant's book, Writing Movies for Fun and Profit. So that's in there.
Starting point is 00:44:48 We've got a couple of tickets to come back here to Comedy Bar to see the Dark Comedy Festival on Thursday, September 29th here in Toronto. These tickets are valued at $10 a piece. And Debra brought a copy of her CD that's called Let's Be Honest. $7. Worth $7.
Starting point is 00:45:10 Retail for $7. Well. Very nice. And, oh, I brought a sticker. Big deal. It says Potty Mouth on it. And then, oh, wait. Is that it?
Starting point is 00:45:21 Oh, no. One more thing. A Woot Monkey! Yay! Oh wait, is that it? Oh no, one more thing. A Woot Monkey! Ben and Gary, they're like,
Starting point is 00:45:31 what the fuck is happening? Why? Piñatas and monkeys? Basically, the Woot Monkey is something I give out to somebody at every show. The people, this company named Woot sends them to me, and I always shoot one into the crowd
Starting point is 00:45:46 and it makes this noise. Yeah, so it's an incredibly annoying toy. You'll hear that noise for the rest of its existence until your family dog tears it limb from limb. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Aim low. Shoot it into my balls. Yeah. Oh. Yay. Smelly got it. Shelly. Shelly caught it. She's not smelly. She's just Shelly. Shelly caught it. She's not smelly. She's just Shelly.

Starting point is 00:46:54 Yeah! Yeah. Thank you, lady. And there's going to be one winner that's going to get two sets of tickets at two different times. So they can give away the other pair or they can see it twice. Or not go. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:47:13 Wait. Give it. You've got to give it now. You can't take it back. But I'm sure somebody will get to go. So that's what we're playing for. So it's a nice price package. So we can win this, can we?
Starting point is 00:47:28 No. Tara is not going to sit still for this. Now that her friend has a wood monkey, she needs one too. So she's counting on you then. So I'm winning for the titfish lady. This is the... Oh, I see. And after your dog day afternoon shit, I'm on for the fish lady this is that this is I see and after your dog
Starting point is 00:47:46 the afternoon shit I'm on this one now all right let's do it hi no this is hard I use my Leonard Malton movie review app are you familiar with that film critic, Leonard Maltin? Yes. Yeah. He doesn't like anything, does he? He... He's a little picky.
Starting point is 00:48:13 He has his own personal tastes. I don't think violence is high up on his list of things to enjoy in a movie, so he tends to either not... He doesn't go to the horror movies like he gets his minions to go. He used to go to the old ones, like the Frankenstein. Yeah, yeah, he likes that stuff. The James Earl stuff he likes, doesn't go to the horror movies. He gets his minions to go. He used to go to the old ones, like the Frankenstein. Yeah, he likes that stuff. The James Earl stuff he likes, doesn't he? I remember that.
Starting point is 00:48:30 Yeah, he's very old school, and he loves Mickey Mouse and animation. Porn as well. Muttfuck, buttfuck, I remember him giving that a really high review. Shitfreak, that one. Big shit freak. Thumb guzzlers five in there. Five had in the back of a van. You're the connoisseur.
Starting point is 00:49:01 I had to do a bit of research for coming on the show. All right. So let's do it. I had to do a bit of research for coming on the show. Alright. So let's do it. Let's do the same thing we did last time. We'll start with since she has heard the podcast, we'll start down there on Deb's end. Deb, of course, is playing
Starting point is 00:49:19 for Meredith and my decapitated head. My head. Smash it. Smash that head. You get to pick a category. Would you like this was suggested on Twitter by
Starting point is 00:49:40 Nerdpocalypse. Would you like sports stars? That's a movie where a star of sports appears in the movie. Or, she gets three choices. Or, at crystal underscore M underscore K
Starting point is 00:49:55 suggested baby movies, and that's movies where the word baby is in the title of the film. So that could be all sorts of different movies. Or, celebrating a birthday today 9-16. Today's 9-16, right? Mickey Rourke. Fantastic.
Starting point is 00:50:12 So the films of Mickey Rourke is your third option. 100 today. I get to choose between sports, babies, and creepy perverts. That's my check. Three things. Mickey Rourke doesn't always play a creepy pervert. No, he did not. things. Wait, Mickey Rourke doesn't always play creepy perverts. No, he did not. I'm going with Mickey Rourke, though.
Starting point is 00:50:28 Seriously. That means you have to do sports with your baby suckers. All right. All right. Here's what's going to happen. We get them, do we? Oh, fuck. You're going to fuck me over again.
Starting point is 00:50:39 I'm going to tell everybody. Everybody gets to hear this part. You don't have to go into isolation booths. tell everybody, everybody gets to hear this part. You don't have to go into isolation booze. I'm going to or drink some isolation booze.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I'm going to list off several things about this movie, the year that it came out, how many stars Leonard Maltin gave it on his scale of bomb to four. And then I'm going to read a couple snippets from the review that do not help as clues
Starting point is 00:51:07 whatsoever. And then I'm going to tell you how many names of actors Leonard Maltin listed participating in this movie. And the trick is, you'll start bidding on who can name it in the least amount of names reading from the bottom of the list up.
Starting point is 00:51:24 So, if there's like ten names and Debra starts the bidding, she can say I can name amount of names, reading from the bottom of the list up. So if there's like 10 names and Debra starts a bidding, she can say, I can name an eight name, five, four. And then we go from there. You can steal. You guys can steal. Oh, we can steal as well? No, you got to wait for it to come around to you. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:51:37 We can't just jump in. Don't just jump in. Iron Man. There'll be a point where it's very clear that it's someone's time to guess and then that's when okay that's when when you can guess so don't yell out any more mickey rourke movies like body heat all right deb okay two and a half stars from le Maltin for this movie that Mickey Rourke was in that came out in 2010. So somebody might know it already. Somebody may not know it.
Starting point is 00:52:11 So this is where the bidding is very important. Let me tell you some things from the review. He says about this movie that there's no shortage of action or incident. Yeah, the word incident is in there. And he also says that this movie is... I don't want to give it away. He says that it's... It's without the freshness
Starting point is 00:52:47 yeah i'll say it's without the freshness and you'll be like what does that even mean is it i know what it is is it for some is a whole movie about mints and um there he leonard lists and Leonard lists 13 names. So, Deb starts off the bidding. You say how many names you think you can get. I think I know it. It's just I'm going to be one of those jerks. If you think you know it, you can say zero names. But I can't. The title.
Starting point is 00:53:18 I know what it is. You can see it in your mind's eye, but you can't say it in words. Which is a tricky position to it in your mind's eye, but you can't say it in words. Okay, so I'm going to say it's exactly it. Which is a tricky position to be in in this game. It's very difficult. All right, I'm going to say I can probably do it in like three names, though. Okay, she says three names.
Starting point is 00:53:33 So now, Ben, you can just say, name that movie, and she'll have to name it after hearing the three names. If she doesn't name it, you'll get the point, and you'll be one point away from winning because it's a two-point game. I get the point. What about me? Yeah. Oh, you'll be in the game soon enough.
Starting point is 00:53:51 So just by pure luck of chairs, I get a point. It could be. Well, if you think she can't get it in three names, you can go lower. You could bid two names. None. You say zero names.
Starting point is 00:54:01 Oh, boom. Boom. See? Now Gareth gets to play and I don't think he wants to. Because now you have to. I was going to say zero as well. Well, here's what you can do. You can go negative names, which means if you say, yeah, right?
Starting point is 00:54:16 You're going to be telling him the wrong names now. If you say negative one, then you'd have to name the movie and the top billed person in the movie. And if you say negative two, then you have to do them in the right order from the top. You're making this up as you go along, aren't you? It's very complicated, but they know. The audience gets it.
Starting point is 00:54:40 So if I say negative one? So yeah, you could say negative one if you want. I'll have to do two then. And then you'll say negative one if you want. I'll go negative two then. And then you'll say the title of the movie and the top bill of the performer. If you go negative one. But then it goes to Deb. She can go even lower if you do that.
Starting point is 00:54:54 I can go all the way. Hang on. Come on, Deb. Are you saying negative one, Gary? Are you saying negative one? I'm saying negative one, but he's going to jump in. He's saying negative one.
Starting point is 00:55:02 I'm going to say name that movie. Okay, so name the movie and then the top bill. I've thrown down. So he can't come in with negative two, right? He that he's won. I'm going to say name that movie. Okay, so you name the movie and then the top billed person. I've thrown down. So he can't come in with that movie, right? He can't do anything. So basically I let you win
Starting point is 00:55:10 is what I'm saying. He's out. He's out. I'm sorry. It's all up to you. Is it Killshot? And is it Mickey Rock top billed?
Starting point is 00:55:16 Obviously. Did I just let this guy win that with that? What the fuck? No, you get the point because... Yes! Oh, victory is mine. Isn't it that... mine the movie Ben almost got it the movies Iron Man 2
Starting point is 00:55:36 I wouldn't minus 2 come on why didn't I get the minus 2 that's not what I thought it was by the way at all no that's the fun thing when people start going negative names They don't even have the right movie It's a lot of negotiation over nothing I love it I'm winning though basically is what you're saying Sorry Sean
Starting point is 00:55:54 Meredith we're winning It's exciting But Ben gets to pick the next category Out of those two shit categories Oh no I got three new shit categories. Oh yeah! I got shit categories coming out of my shithole.
Starting point is 00:56:13 Here they come. You won't like these either. Peter Falk would be celebrating a birthday if he didn't die a few weeks ago so what
Starting point is 00:56:29 he was great I love that guy he's celebrating his birthday yeah he's celebrating in heaven he's setting up
Starting point is 00:56:36 his own screenings of of Kill List and The Raid in heaven yeah I like those movies just one more thing just one more thing about movies. Just one more thing. Just one more thing
Starting point is 00:56:45 about those movies. Just one more of those movies. Just one more thing. All right, so this might be a hot topic for you then. Peter Falk movies or O Canada.
Starting point is 00:56:55 That's movies that were shot here in beautiful Canada. And at Stephen Kendrick Jr. suggested what? Oh, I get it.
Starting point is 00:57:08 I get it. Magnificent Andersons. That's films by either P.T. or Wes Anderson. Oh, that's a fun one. So, Peter Fogg, Canada, or the Andersons. Which one would you like, Ben?
Starting point is 00:57:24 What? Why me? I mean, I'd like to go folk just to see, you know, how deep you're going to go with the folk question. I also like how you pronounce it. But I'll go...
Starting point is 00:57:40 The Anderson things are probably easier. You think it'll be easier? shit yeah yeah you're probably right we'll see you get to pick I mean you get to be the first bidder
Starting point is 00:57:54 I'll give you all the clues and then you'll bid first so what's the answer yes or no shit Anderson or good Anderson or is it what is it wait a second I wonder who's shit Anderson or good Anderson or is it? What is it? Wait a second.
Starting point is 00:58:07 I wonder who's shit Anderson and who's good Anderson from what we know about Ben. I'm going to guess that you think Wes is the shitty one. No, no way. PT is shitty? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Boo. Oh no, I've got the wrong Anderson. I was thinking about the guy who did Death Race. That's Paul W.S. Anderson. Paul W.S. You should have done it three, the three Anderson. I didn't want to include that one because that one is the shitty one. You should have done it three Anderson.
Starting point is 00:58:44 I didn't want to include that one, because that one is the shitty one. But no matter what you think, Wes Anderson and P.T. Anderson have had missteps. Even if you're a fan, you might not like something that they've done. I thought it was crazy that you would totally hate one or the other of those. They were both brilliant. There we go.
Starting point is 00:59:05 I love their films. This movie is from 1996. Leonard gives it two and a half stars. Should probably do better than that or more than that, but whatever. Whatever. He says about this movie that it's original and low-key and that it has engaging performances. And like I said, it's from 1996, two and a half stars, and Leonard lists eight names.
Starting point is 00:59:39 So how many names do you think it would take for you to guess the name of the movie, Ben? None. He says zero names on a 96 movie by Wes or P.T. Anderson. Now we go to Debra. 1996? I was so young then.
Starting point is 00:59:55 Don't try to help her. Gareth, do you know it? Well, hey, you can. Okay, I'm sorry. I'm trying to gang up. See what I did there? Is this how you play poker? He does know it what do you have what do you have
Starting point is 01:00:07 can we put something together I don't want to end it yet but I'm going to say because I can't guess because I don't know it so I want to say name that name the movie
Starting point is 01:00:13 alright so you think he's going to blow it and then you're going to no I so don't know it alright so you get three names Ben yeah bottle rocket okay you don't get three names
Starting point is 01:00:23 it's bottle rocket whoa whoa yes that was good come on Uh, Bottle Rocket. Okay, you don't get three names. It's Bottle Rocket. Whoa! Whoa! Yes! That was good. Come on. What was your fault question? Nice!
Starting point is 01:00:31 What was your fault question? What do you mean? What's your Peter Falk question? Yeah, I want to know that one. Oh, what would the answer have been? I'll tell you later. What's the question? That category might come up again,
Starting point is 01:00:40 so I'll tell you later. Oh, come on. Because you got the point on this one so bridges of Remington what's that it's the answer I've never even heard of that movie Christ what you haven't Peter Fox in it I went with the different answer than a different movie. I went with a different movie. So where are we at? Meredith has one and
Starting point is 01:01:11 tit boob. No, fish boob. Fish tit. So Debra playing for a piñata head has piñata head and fish tit. Thursday nights this fall on NBC. Pinata Headed Fish Tit Thursday nights this fall on NBC Okay so this time we get to start with
Starting point is 01:01:33 Gareth you get to start since you didn't get involved in that last match up and then from there we go to Debra Debra Way to pay attention audience Somebody has to to... Debra. Way to pay attention, audience.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Somebody has to. The clue is in the chairs. It gets so confusing. Here are your category options, Gareth. Summer blockbusters, that's blockbuster movies that came out during a summer. Hold Me,
Starting point is 01:02:05 that's movies where there's some sort of hostage situation. And at Bobby Lester suggested Faux Real, which is movies that are about real life events. F-A-U-X.
Starting point is 01:02:21 Real. So which one of those would you like, Gareth? Hold Me. That's not a request by the way. It's an intense game but I think you'll be fine. Without the extra comfort. Deb's a great hugger.
Starting point is 01:02:36 She'll hug you whether you win or lose. Whether I want to or not. A lot of forced hugging. She's a forced hugger. Two and a half stars from Leonard Maldon for this movie that has some sort of hostage situation in it. It's really vague, yeah. Oh, yeah. Here's some more vague clues.
Starting point is 01:02:58 He calls this movie old-fashioned. And he also says it's exceptionally noisy. Two and a half stars. Old-fashioned noises. From 1985. There's some sort of hostage situation in it. And there are 11 names, I think. I was five years old when this came out.
Starting point is 01:03:23 11 names. Yeah, I try to pick pretty well-known movies, but you never know. With eleven names, you can start off with a really high bid, like eleven names,
Starting point is 01:03:32 and put it on Deborah to worry about what happens next. If you have no idea. Clues are terrible. I can't imagine anyone would know the answer from all of that.
Starting point is 01:03:44 I'll have to go for four names. Sorry, Sean, I'm fucked on this one. Still, a ballsy bid. Yeah. Under the circumstances. I think you should get a cupcake. Those look amazing. Those look so good, I want to stomp on them.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Smash them. Smash them. I want to fuck those cupcakes. Alright, Debra. Four names coming around to you. I can... In three names. I can't. Why are you telling Ben that you can't?
Starting point is 01:04:25 I don't know. He can see it in my eyes. You can see it. He's got a death stare. I can't see it. Yeah, she says three. So you could say name it and if she fails, you'll get the point. Oh yeah, name it. Oh, son of a bitch. Okay, what were the clues again?
Starting point is 01:04:44 Okay, hostage, 1985. Ransom. Yeah, there's some sort of... No, it's not ransom. 1985? That's a whole movie about a hostage situation. And it was exceedingly noisy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:57 But also old-fashioned. And it's also old-fashioned. It's got a hostage situation of some kind. And there's two and a half stars. 1985? It's the worst clue. And... Just forget the hostage part okay
Starting point is 01:05:08 don't even think hostage no hostage just think 1985 no I know what it is and it's old fashioned and noisy yeah
Starting point is 01:05:15 and the three names are yeah and people in the audience don't yell out because we will hear an audible gasp when I say these three names the three names are
Starting point is 01:05:23 Joe Pantoliano Ann Ramsey, and John Matuszak. Oh, shit. Do you know what from that? That means nothing to you, Debra? No. No.
Starting point is 01:05:39 Should I know that? Overboard? So she loses if she doesn't know it. Okay, no, I have to. I don't know. Yeah, you can't even guess. I have no guess. It's also on Ring of Bell.
Starting point is 01:05:49 Do you know who Joe Pantoliano is? I do. I'm going to say. I think I know it. Do you know who Ann Ramsey is? No. How about John Matuszak? No.
Starting point is 01:05:59 What was? I'm going to throw down. That one would really help if she knew that. The timing is way off. The only standalone movie I can think of is Bound is way off but I'm like fuck the only the only standalone movie I can think of is Bound
Starting point is 01:06:07 remember that Bound yeah that was good yeah with Gina Gershon yeah it was good is that what you thought that's not wrong that's totally wrong
Starting point is 01:06:14 it's a good movie though but good try at least you named a movie that has Joey Pants in it thank you there we go but Gareth just for fun what are you thinking
Starting point is 01:06:22 you call him Joey Pants I think it doesn't feel like a hostage movie at all. Oh, there's a hostage situation. I'll tell you when you tell me the name of the movie. Is it The Goonies? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:30 Stop it! Stop it! Oh, my God! Nice. Come on. Do I get a point? Joe Pantoliano and Ann Ramsey take Chunk hostage, and they hold him, and then he develops a friendship with John Matusak.
Starting point is 01:06:43 Is Ann Ramsey the one that talks like that? She's throw Mama from the train. Oh my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's so dead. No, no. It was fun
Starting point is 01:06:51 that you guessed it though. Yeah, that was fun. That's nice. No, actually Ben got two points so Ben's our winner of the whole thing. Hey!
Starting point is 01:07:00 Yes! Strictly not a hostage for him though. Come on. He did it. Wow. Where is... I've done that in 11 names.
Starting point is 01:07:09 Oh, oh, Titfish is right there. Hey, and if you've seen Titfish, don't tell anybody the twist. In Titfish. There you go. Congratulations. You want your Titfish back? She's got to wear that later.
Starting point is 01:07:26 No worries. My pleasure. Look at this shit. That's crazy. What are you yelling? Oh, smash it. No, I couldn't do that. That would be hilarious though.
Starting point is 01:07:43 I mean, you didn't actually make these yourself. Like, if you made them and brought them and I stepped on them, that'd be the funniest thing. But you just got them from a store, so you'd just shrug if I stepped on them, right? You wouldn't care. Plus, I'm not Gallagher. I'm not going to make a big mess up here.
Starting point is 01:08:01 I might eat one of those, though. Oh, my God. Jenny, you guys want one? They look nice. No? No takers? Alright. They're fun to look at. Or you know what? I'll throw them into the crowd. Overhand.
Starting point is 01:08:17 I'm gonna pitch cupcakes at you. Welcome to the show, monkeys. Alright, so Sean sean i got your shithead here but i need uh i need the person pinata head to step forward and share the uh who they want me to call a shithead and um we should say once again that uh there's a couple opportunities to see kill List. I've got to go right down right there. A couple opportunities to see Kill List at the Toronto International Film Festival. Tomorrow night at midnight at the Ryerson
Starting point is 01:08:51 as part of Midnight Madness. And on Sunday afternoon at 3.15, I forget which venue, but just look at a guide. It's always good to see it about 3 o'clock. The earlier, the better. A morning show. Sets The earlier, the better. A morning show. Sets you up for the day.
Starting point is 01:09:12 They should have movies that are really violent here start at 4.30, so at least you could be really high. Get high at 4.20 and then watch it. But let's, just for fun, I got a couple more minutes left. Do you want to play the Peter Falk category and see how you do? Yeah, man. Bring it. Oh, yeah. just for fun, I got a couple more minutes left. Let's, do you want to play the Peter Falk category and see how you do?
Starting point is 01:09:26 Yeah, man. Wings of desire. You'd love to pre-guess. That's why you're a director. You can't just sit there and do what you're told. You gotta be in charge of the shit. Husbands.
Starting point is 01:09:46 That too. Okay, that's not a correct answer, but another Peter Falk movie. This one is from 2001. Leonard Maltin gives it three stars. He calls this movie
Starting point is 01:10:01 it's a whole lot funnier than many bigger movie comedies. And he also says that Bud Cort appears unbilled. I think he was billed in Harold and Maude, ma'am. Right next to that old lady. I think he was billed in Harold and Maude, man. Right next to that old lady. So three stars, and the year is 2001, and there are nine names. So how many names do you think you can get it in? Hot shot.
Starting point is 01:10:42 Pop quiz, Ben Wheatley. I'll go five. Five names. And then this time We go to Gareth Six Even after playing For a while
Starting point is 01:10:55 That's smart strategy Debra I'm kidding I'm kidding I'm kidding Name it She says Name it with six
Starting point is 01:11:02 No he was joking Are you naming it Are you throwing it Debra No I haven't got Name it. She says name it with six. No, he was joking. Are you naming it? Are you throwing it? Debra. No, I haven't got a fucking clue. He says... How many did you say, Ben? You said five.
Starting point is 01:11:12 I said five. Yeah, and so then his answer is a joke. You can't say six. That's more names. Well, they're not from here. You don't know. Canadians are so exceedingly polite that she was going to let him go with six names.
Starting point is 01:11:27 Yeah, go ahead. Take all the names. Strictly, no one actually told us all the rules, so you could do that. It's true. Believe me, if someone had told you all the rules, you'd still be sitting there going, what is happening?
Starting point is 01:11:41 Still trying to figure it out. You learn by playing. It's kind of like sex life it's like life chess chess maybe you can't just have someone
Starting point is 01:11:53 explain all of chess to you and then sit down and know what you're doing I think you do no you gotta sit there and play it yeah you gotta move the pieces around
Starting point is 01:12:02 get the feel of it it's a horse. It can run straight. It's a bishop. It can just jump around. I want to stab my horse's eyes out. Can I do that? What if I just flip the board over?
Starting point is 01:12:19 Is that a move? We still need a legitimate bid from Gareth. We gotta go lower than five. Name it, yeah? Oh, he says name it. I really haven't got a clue. All right, so you're getting some names. Columbo.
Starting point is 01:12:33 You get five names. The mystery of the Columbo movie. Episode 700 of Columbo. Directed by Steven Spielberg. Your five names are Jonathan Silverman, Vincent Pastore, Faison Love,
Starting point is 01:13:00 Sean Puffy Combs, and I added the Puffy it just says Sean Combs and Peter Falk so there's three people that are billed above Peter Falk
Starting point is 01:13:11 in this movie from 2001 it's that one about the Notorious B.I.G. isn't it I don't believe Peter Falk was in a Notorious B.I.G. movie
Starting point is 01:13:19 he played Tupac didn't he? No, Peter Fogg was in Notorious O-N-E-I. Just one more thing. So you have any idea? Fuck, no, no, no. Does somebody in the audience know it? Made is correct.
Starting point is 01:13:41 Who's the first person that said that? Come get a cupcake. That's the new game. It's the person person that said that? Come get a cupcake. That's the new game. It's the person in the audience that knows that gets a cupcake. Hang on. He hasn't said what it is yet. Which one would you like? That one looks like it's got some sort of flavor
Starting point is 01:13:58 to it. Coconut always looks better than it tastes. When you're looking at it, you're like, that's going to be great. Two bites in here. There's one with the salmon on top, which I don't like the look of. Salmon? Yeah, the pink one. Oh.
Starting point is 01:14:17 Isn't that salmon? Yeah, yeah. It's like a pate cupcake. It's like a meat cake. It's disgusting.
