Doug hates candy wrappers screaming baby stinky seeds
With 50 ads and popcorn kernels in his teeth
There's still not one that he won't see
Cause Doug loves movies
Hey everybody Hey, everybody.
My name is Doug, and I love movies.
That was Garfunkel and Oates with the holiday version of the Doug Loves Movies song.
It's December 7th, 2010, and we are coming to you from the UCB Theater in L.A.
in front of a live audience.
Full of name tags.
Do we have name tags?
Everyone's doing this kind of hip thing
where they bring a name tag
and then they hold it up when the time comes
instead of walking around like a nerd
with a name tag on.
And then they brought the house lights up for me.
This is crazy.
So Matthew is here and a guy in a
flux shirt named gordon ricky is here what is that from the arc light josh from the arc light
when you work at the arc light they let you put one movie on your tag and uh i always look when
i go to the movies there i was like what's your movie in his movie of all the movies there. I was like, what's your movie? In his movie, of all the movies, you get to name one.
Oh, you have two different badges?
Okay, we don't need the whole story.
But, uh...
Wait, you have one to clock in with?
Because why? Is it, like, inappropriate in some way?
Okay, Annie hauls
your clock in, and then
you wear it around all the time as the
Brothers Bloom.
Did you guys see that?
In what universe could Adrian Brody and
Mark Ruffalo be brothers?
Yeah, Adrian had a tougher
delivery.
We had to use
the forceps on, Adrian.
All right, well, thank you for bringing your badge from work.
That really wasn't what I was looking for.
The writing on those is so tiny, I could never see it.
All right, Josh, well, maybe you'll get picked by one of my guests tonight.
I have a few more things to say before I bring them out. I had a wonderful time, a wonderful Christmas time in Dallas and Fort Worth last weekend.
And you can see me at the Improv in Tampa this weekend, the weekend that this episode will plop.
I will be doing the Marijuana Logs in New York City on December 18th at 420.
You can go to www.
I guess you could just say
livenation.com
for tickets.
Please watch The Betsy Interruption tonight at midnight
11 Central on Comedy Central
if you're downloading this on a Friday.
My guests
this particular Friday are Brian Posehn,
Greg Proops, and Tig Notaro.
So that was a really good show.
And go to comedyDeathRay.com
to bid on a bunch of great auction items
with the money going to LA Food Bank,
including the opportunity to be a guest
on an episode of this show.
The current bid for that is $1,075.
And the bidding on to go to the movies with me
where I will fly to where you are and see a movie with you,
is $860.
So I get to finally feel like a whore.
All these years when I could be whoring, I didn't.
And now I finally know what it's like.
But that'll be fun.
I'll be happy to go to wherever the highest bidder is.
And as you guys know,
I am a very big fan of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World,
the motion picture.
And, yeah.
Edgar Wright was on before with two people from that movie,
and I say, let's do it again.
Please welcome Edgar Wright, Kieran Culkin
and Anna Kendrick
to the podcast.
Welcome them
warmly. Edgar
took the pole position.
There goes
Kieran
and Anna Kendrick sitting as far away from me
as possible.
It's not the arrangement I was hoping for.
But it's cool.
No, it's totally cool.
Say hi.
Pick up your microphone, Kieran.
He had to take off his awesome skeleton gloves.
Jack Skellington, yeah.
Jack Skellington, yeah, that's right.
Do you like that they remade the Haunted Mansion with all Nightmare Before Christmas stuff?
Have you seen that?
Wait, I did go on it a couple months ago.
I did not notice that.
It seemed like normal Haunted Mansion?
Like when you got to the tombstones,
it was those four old guys singing and everything was normal?
No, I really don't think I've paid close attention
to the Haunted Mansion before.
That's some detail.
I don't know. I didn't notice any difference.
I get it. I didn't notice any difference. I get it.
I get what you're saying.
You don't go to Disneyland without getting
messed up on something.
You're not there to memorize
things like I am. I'm a big nerd at Disneyland.
That's different!
Why is that different?
We got derailed there
for a second. I apologize.
Kieran, welcome.
I've just met you tonight
and so far it's been great.
Yeah, it's been awesome.
We had a nice time at the bar
next door and
I just want to say about your performance
in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
one of my favorite moments in the
movie is when you
violently throw your keys
at Michael Cera's head
Thank you. You're welcome
I mean it was also shot well
by some director but
it had a
it's an amazing moment. I'd like to say before that
cutaway happened,
where he gets hit on the head with the keys,
I really bonked him on the head with those keys from across the room.
Probably several times, I'm guessing.
They were heavy keys, and yeah, I was aiming for his noggin.
But how many takes till you got it right?
Well, once you nailed it, then we had to do the reverse,
and I said, Michael, is it okay if we do a couple more takes
with the keys going at the head so he took it he
didn't take it on the chin he took on the head yeah yeah it jarred him at one
point I think he lost his next line when I bonked him real good I think that was
the goal well I love it either way and I think I think you're great in the movie
and Anna of course I'm very excited to have here because third Academy Award nominee to appear on Dougloves movies.
Damn.
Were they all lady nominees?
Yeah, all women.
That's an interesting thing that they're all women.
They were coerced by someone to participate.
Is Lyft not an Academy Award nominee?
Oh, that's right. So four.
Thanks for taking
that away from me.
He was nominated for Raising Cain.
Or he should have been.
Four times.
He should have been nominated four times for Raising Cain.
He was nominated for Terms of Endearment
and Harry and the Hendersons.
No, I don't know.
I think he was just nominated the one time,
but there's probably another one,
Cliffhanger or something.
Ricochet.
We could go all night with this game.
Lithgow movies that didn't deserve Oscars
for 100, Alex.
So yeah, the fourth Academy Award nominee.
I feel less special now.
Thanks a lot.
But the third lady won.
Yeah.
And also probably the first that's going to probably get nominated again.
No offense to the others.
But they're not here and they don't listen to the podcast.
See, I can't talk shit about you on a future podcast,
because you actually listen to it.
And that's very exciting to me.
Here we go.
The first Academy Award nominee that listens to the podcast
and appeared on the podcast.
You did it.
So that's exciting.
I wrote down a question for you.
Let's see what I wrote down.
Oh, so since you're an Academy Award member,
can you disclose anything that might be getting your vote
for this particular year?
Or is that a big secret ballot kind of thing?
I feel more drunk with power over the fact
that I'm a member of the Academy now
than actually getting nominated.
Because I do feel like, oh, it's in my hands.
It's a prize that keeps on giving.
Is that weird if I say what I'm going to vote for?
I don't know if it's weird.
I just know that the Academy might have rules.
Like, don't go talking about who you voted for or who you plan to vote for.
Like, they don't want you campaigning for anyone, I don't think.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
But if you said that you were a fan of some particular thing
and would like to see it get nominated, I don't see what that would...
Well, I mean, I feel like it's not super cool anymore,
but I think social network's the best thing I've seen in a long time.
It seems to be losing a little steam in that regard,
but it's so good and so critically acclaimed
that with 10 nominees for Best Picture,
it's got to get nominated.
But you're talking about Eisenberg for Best Actor, right?
Because I think he should get nominated for that.
Oh, yeah.
If he doesn't at least get nominated,
I'll spit my toes.
Everyone else was good in a way.
And no one wants that.
What will you spit on?
Anything in particular?
Or you just spit like that's something you never do?
Spit, damn it.
Look out, everybody.
Spit's coming.
So, yeah.
So, that's a good vote, I think.
I agree with that vote.
Edgar, what do you...
I saw and you talked to me about how you were on the jury for the Independent Spirit Awards.
I was with fellow podcaster Adam Scott. We you were on the jury for the Independent Spirit Awards.
I was with fellow podcaster Adam Scott.
We were both on the jury.
I can't divulge anything because then it will be, I mean, it was pretty amazing.
It was like 12 angry men.
Did you really?
12 very mellow men.
Yeah.
And women.
But disagreements aplenty?
There were disagreements, yeah. It was pretty amazing to be involved in something like that, but it was cool. I had to watch
I had to
watch, like, I watched about 60
films, and because I had to do
that Blu-ray press tour, which you were
a part of, I was way behind, and
in the last week, I had to watch five movies a day
to get back up to speed. So there
was a point in the week leading up to the
Deliberation where I watched five DVDs a day,
which was not the best way to...
That takes a little bit of the fun out of it.
Then you have to watch them.
Well, what's weird is that when you watch a lot of independent films in a row,
unless you kind of pick and choose very carefully
what order you're going to watch them in,
you start watching things of the same subject matter.
So I would genuinely watch...
Right, like today's Holocaust Day. Oops.
Yeah.
Pretty much. same subject matter so i would genuinely right like today's holocaust day oops pretty much it was kind of like yeah there was like sort of five gun incidents at school's day there wasn't many of those it was mostly infidelity films that was the big oh that's big
yeah and then there was one there was one then there was one film where somebody didn't cheat on somebody
and I actually went, thank you.
Like when finally somebody didn't cheat on somebody.
Did you think it was terribly motivated
for Julianne Moore to make out with Mark Ruffalo
and do more than that?
Spoiler alert.
Was that kind of surprising?
I think any man would. Or did she just love that he was the father of her children? Like that was Spoiler alert. Was that kind of surprising? Or did she just love
that he was the father of her children?
Like, that was sexy to her.
She should have used that as her excuse.
She never said that.
I think Mark Ruffalo
clearly has the power to turn anybody.
Which I believe he's going to use in his role
as the Hulk in The Avengers as well.
In The Avengers, I believe that Mark Ruffalo is the Hulk in the Avengers as well. In the Avengers,
I believe that
Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk
turns Captain America in the Avengers.
Do you think
Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk will be more of a
Ed Norton Hulk or a...
What's the name
of the first guy?
Eric Bana.
I had an idea that eventually,
so many actors
have played the Hulk,
that eventually
you'll have a new Hulk film
which is like
Todd Haynes'
I'm Not There
where a different actor
every time
every time he changes back
to Bruce Bana
becomes a different actor.
Wouldn't that be amazing?
That would be great.
That would be amazing.
Because he's not
an interesting character
so far
in movies. In the middle of it. Because you just want him to turn into be amazing. Because he's not an interesting character so far in movies.
In the middle of it.
Because you just want him to turn into the Hulk.
And then he's a completely different dude.
But then you can have Ed Norton.
Well, you can't have Bill Bixby.
He's dead.
You can have Ed Norton, Mark Ruffalo, Eric Banner, Cate Blanchett.
Why can't you have Bill Bixby, young Jeff Bridges and Tron style?
Why can't they just get some footage of Bixby
from the magician or something?
It can happen.
Isn't George Lucas supposed to be reanimating Dead Stars?
Isn't that the big thing?
Oh, is he going to do that?
I think so.
That makes me want to kill Jar Jar.
Give a good excuse.
Very sincere laugh back there.
So give a good excuse.
Very sincere laugh back there.
Kieran, do you get much time to go to the movies?
Do you see a lot of movies?
I don't usually.
Until yesterday, I think the most recent thing I saw was maybe... I saw Toy Story 3, actually.
Okay.
So there's children in your world?
Well, no.
Or again, you just got fucked up and went and saw a Disney thing?
Yeah. Every Pixar movie, right? world or well no or again you just got fucked up and went and saw a disney thing yeah every every pixar movie right you got to do mushrooms is that the idea
that's that's a great idea it's not an idea i had i was just settling for pot but might as well take
it up a notch uh when i see one of. I'm in the minority. I think Toy Story
3 is, you know, I think it's good
but I don't think it's the amazing movie
that people make it out to be.
I think it's pretty good.
Yeah, I know. We've had this discussion.
We've talked about it.
Maybe it was overhyped
to me or something.
I think we talked about this the last time
you were on, so I don't want to bore the listeners
they're sitting there going, they spoke of this already.
Wasn't interesting
the first time.
That's really nice to say that my
listeners sound like that.
If you listen to the podcast, you must
sound like...
Alright, so
where were we?
What kind of awards did Somewhere get nominated for?
Because it's an independent spirit kind of movie, right?
That one kind of lost out.
It did, but it got nominated for a couple things, didn't it?
No, I don't think it did. Nothing? Shutout?
It's interesting, though.
I do.
Did all of you see it?
Did you see Somewhere?
I don't know what that is.
It's, what's her name? Sophia Coppola
It's definitely worth seeing
It's like Lost in Translation
If you took out the hilarious character
But it's still visually interesting
And also kind of
It just makes you think a lot
While you're watching it
Have you seen it?
Yeah Also, it just makes you think a lot while you're watching it. Have you seen it? Yeah.
Yeah.
And I can't wait to see it.
I've done that, though.
I think most trailers make you feel like you've seen it already,
and you can just kind of speak that way about something. in the case of Somewhere the trailer made it look like it was
you know because they showed a moment from each of
the very long scenes so it seemed like
a regularly paced movie but then we
actually watch it. It's
extremely slow and a lot of
times she just sets up a camera
and shoots a scene
from one perspective. And she makes eggs the end.
Yeah. Yeah. It's a lot of very
subtle little things that just happen.
I realize that actually that some of the independent trailers are actually sort of more spoilery
than the big blockbuster ones, you know.
Because Never Let Me Go is quite a spoiler-filled trailer as well.
Oh, see, I don't know if I've seen or paid attention to a trailer for that.
I still want to see it because you recommended it to me.
It's great.
But if you want to see the movie, do not watch the trailer.
Because it really spells out the whole journey.
Have you been lucky with all the trailers for your movies
or have any of them given away too much?
It's always a tricky one, that, because you can't, you know, like,
I look at, like, some old, like, teasers and stuff,
and, like, the old teasers where they wouldn't show anything
are just amazing.
Especially with how aggressive you have to be,
you don't have a chance to do that anymore.
It would have been amazing to have done trailers
for Scott Pilgrim which didn't have any fights in them at all.
But that was left as a surprise.
But it's impossible.
You can't do that.
You have to show people that,
but then in showing them the fights,
people mistakenly mistook it for they kind of got the impression it was a fighting movie or that you should only, you know, that they didn't realize that it was music and choreography and clever dialogue and likable characters.
There's so much more to it.
I know.
It's a tricky.
They're always tricky to kind of put together.
I remember in Hot Fuzz we had to really fight to make them leave out the villains of the piece in the trailer.
And had to cut together an exact trailer.
Because it's all people that are, it's a double cross.
They all admit to being the villain at some point when they're ready to tell their whole scheme while someone's tied to a chair.
Oh, yeah.
And the British trailer didn't have any of that twist in it.
And then the American, when we came up to the States, it was like, fuck it, go for broke.
They just changed it
completely and
kind of gave everything
away
with Timothy Dalton
as the bad guy
pretty much
pretty much
Mr. Pricklepants
himself
did you know
that he got the role
in Toy Story 3
because of Hot Fuzz
that's absolutely true
because they love
Hot Fuzz so much
and thought that voice
was perfect
yeah and
Timothy Dalton
got the role
of a hedgehog
through Hot Fuzz which is amazing which is amazing all right i'll give toy story three another chance
and i'm gonna keep talking yeah i'm gonna keep talking about somewhere because i want i want
people to see it and then tell me what they thought because it is it it really is amazing
in its confidence that absolutely nothing can happen
and someone would keep watching.
Not since Brown Bunny.
Something happens at the end of Brown Bunny, though.
Yeah.
It's true.
Oh, yeah, it does.
And that's the thing.
You got wind of that, so you went to see that happen.
But somewhere, you know, I'm not going to give anything away, because there's nothing to give away.
You just watch it.
But like I said, I found it interesting, and I liked it.
I liked the performances.
It's a really weird thing.
But I guess it got snubbed
By the Independent Spirit Awards
I can't say nothing
So that's like
You're not as independent
As you thought you were
Spirit Awards
Why don't you nominate movies
Where nothing happens?
It's called somewhere
They can't even get specific
About a location
Why don't they just call it Chateau Marmont?
Because a lot of it's in there.
They do feature that.
I think the singing waiter,
that guy, that singing waiter that's been there for
20 years, he should be up for Best Supporting Actor.
That seems awkward to me.
There's a scene where Stephen Dorff is a big movie star
just hanging out in the lobby of the Chateau Marmont
and the guy comes over and says, hey, and they kind of know each other because movie stars stay in that
hotel for like months at a time when they're making a movie but then uh then the guy just
you know he just starts playing a song for him it's just the two of them sitting there and he
just sort of like pretends to enjoy it but that's weird that's awkward and then he doesn't tip the
guy when he's done he just says
thanks
thanks for playing
that song
yeah I sat down
to play a song
for you
because you look sad
I'm not trying
to make a living
the original ending
of that film
as a deleted scene
was where that
singing waiter
killed Stephen Dorff
that was the original
ending of the film
oh that'd be so great
something finally happened are you watching right to the end of the film. Oh, that'd be so great!
Something finally happened. Did you watch it right to the end of the credit roll?
Because that's what happens after the credit.
Then Salmonel Jackson's Nick Fury turns up as well.
You didn't watch to the end of the credit roll, did you?
I thought the credits was just going to be
two hip songs that Sophia Coppola enjoys
and then it would be over.
I didn't know there'd be a moment at the end
like Ferris Bueller where he says,
go home.
That would have been amazing.
Do you guys want to play the Leonard Maltin game?
Oh, yes.
Yes.
So Kieran
got asked by
Edgar to appear here and I appreciate
that and then you actually did
the research. You listened
to about eight
episodes and
you're fired up to play this game. I really want
to play this game.
Well, the audience I'm sure really wants you guys
to play because the prizes
this time, it's a crazy
big bag of amazing stuff.
There's a poster here which I can only
assume is a Scott Pilgrim poster
that all three of you guys will sign and you could actually be doing that there's a poster here which I can only assume is a Scott Pilgrim poster that
all three of you guys will sign
and you could actually be doing that
while I describe the rest of the
the rest of the things that are here
a smaller Scott Pilgrim poster
from the night where we did
two screenings of it at the New Beverly
here in Los Angeles and they made a neat poster
for it and Edgar put
one of those in here
speaking of posters,
a poster of me.
My
CD, DVD,
hypocritical oaf.
That's in there.
So that's something you could just
throw away as soon as you get out
of here.
Scott Pilgrim on
is this Blu-ray or DVD?
Both. Scott Pilgrim on is this Blu-ray or DVD? Both
I finally did it
I've never made fun of your accent until
I finally got comfortable enough
with you to be like both
I almost did it
when you were saying Hulk because I almost said
what are you saying
say Hulk again say it
the incredible Hulk it kind of sounds like Hulk Hulk because I almost said what are you saying? Say Hulk again. Say it. The Incredible Hulk.
It kind of sounds like Hulk.
Like there's an extra
I and a Y in there.
That's how they spell it in the UK.
Like egg yolk.
Oh look at this.
Scott Pilgrim t-shirts.
That's awesome.
What am I leaving out, Edgar?
Is there anything else?
A soundtrack?
Hats.
Scott Pilgrim hats.
Somebody's going to be Scott Pilgrim
their whole wardrobe.
Scott Pilgrim thongs in here.
I have some stuff from a company.
When I was in Dallas, somebody gave me these.
It's a company called Woot.
They make these...
Really?
People are excited about it?
And they make these monkeys that are so cool
because you could stick your fingers into their little mitts
and they turn into a slingshot.
What?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
What?
Yeah.
Oh my God.
It says right on it that it can go up to 50 feet.
I think the roof is a little lower than that in here.
But then it also, whenever you shoot it, it makes a good noise. It stopped making for some reason.
Let's try this one.
Oh, I've got two of them. All right, so the winner will this one.
Oh, I've got two of them. Alright, so the winner will get one. Let's give one to an audience member right now.
Finally, finally something to hurl at an audience that's going to scream in agony when you do it.
It's still going off over there.
Shut up!
I guess if you go to woot.com, you can find those.
I assume so.
Oh, there's the poster all signed by everybody.
Do you guys have a thing that you write when you sign stuff, or do you just sign your name?
Sometimes.
It depends what kind of, you know... I write, fuck you, and then I sign my name.
We did a signing at Amoeba.
We did a signing at Amoeba for the Blu-ray,
and Michael Cera signed...
He signed a different thing on every single one,
my favorite one.
And I had to point out,
because I was at the end of the line,
I had to point out to those people,
he's doing... This is unique. He's doing a different one, but one of them was like,
Michael, I am not in Zombieland, Sarah.
He's got such a complex about that.
I don't know what kind of idiot would
confuse those two guys. I think they're
totally super different and both awesome,
but that's just me. I agree. Let's play the Leonard Maltin game, two guys. I think they're totally super different and both awesome, but that's just me. I agree.
Let's play the Leonard Maltin game, you guys.
Since Edgar made all this
happen, since he was the one that made the phone
calls, I'm just here to try
and get Kieran and Anna
here. I'm trying to hit here to try and
like triumph where Michael Cera
fucked me last time, so
I'm here to beat Sam Levine. That's the only reason I'm here. I'm trying to hit here to try and like triumph where Michael Cera fucked me last time. So I'm here to beat Sam Levine. That's the only reason everybody, everybody comes in here with
such a grudge. Oh, like good, good idea. Let's pick some names for you guys to play for. Let's
start with Anna. Who would you like to play for? I'll play for, go take their name tag from them.
If you want to play for them, I'll play for Shane. Shane? I was going to pick that. You like Shane too?
Alright, so she's going to take your name tag.
This is a new thing I thought of.
Now that she has a name tag, then I can look over there
and go, Anna's playing for Shane.
I'm not going to win.
She's saying off mic she's not going to win.
On mic she's totally cocky.
Who would you like to play for, Karen?
How much is that? Is that a dollar?
It says my name on it.
It's a billion dollars.
It's a dollar bill.
And I'm keeping the dollar, right?
Yeah.
The old get-rich-quick scheme
that is the Leonard Mullen game.
And what's his name?
I don't know.
Some guy just lost a dollar.
I'm going to go with Gordon.
Thank you.
Oh, shit.
Okay, so Kieran is playing for Gordon.
That's a good... You got a good story out of it
You can't be too pissed
You can't spend the rest of your life
I'm not going to any of his movies
I can see three people here
Who have Sean the Dead name badges
Go get one of them.
What are your names?
Don, Mike, and Adam.
Could they divvy up everything if they win?
Yeah, let's do that.
Who's the one in the middle?
Adam. Mike.
Okay, Mike.
Alright, Mike.
You've got to tear your name tag off.
And give it to him.
come you gotta tear your name tag off
monkey's still going crazy on the audience okay this is exciting let me make sure I did everything I was supposed to do yep I wrote down right
there guests should go get the name tag. I have these little ideas in the afternoon.
Then I write them down.
All right, so Shane, Gordon, and Mike, and those two other guys.
We'll start.
Why are you taunting him with that dollar bill?
Real quickly, what are you going to spend that dollar bill on?
Do you have your eye on anything?
I have nothing clever to say.
It doesn't have to be clever.
I recommend...
Have you had Zowers?
No. They're a sour candy called sours I bet you could get a bag of them for a dollar and they're really good
okay do you mean to see how I pronounce that I would like to know you to
pronounce that sours you're really you're learning you're good I'll tell
you about something about Edgar Wright
you can have a conversation with him
and he doesn't throw away
he says where's the bathroom
he knows where he is
and he knows that people would stare at him
if he said Lou
you know what I mean
like you change it up
you do say corridor
we were talking about Aliens 3 earlier
and he was like
it just ends with people running around corridors
I love that that's the most I love that that's the most
random thing that we were talking about
in the car. Like, yeah, fuck Alien 3.
It's such a strange thing to be talking about.
I love it. Corridors. How do you say it?
Hallway.
Oh, okay.
Or if I'm not mistaken, it's a tunnel.
It's underground, right?
It's like a cave.
Okay, tunnel.
We'll agree to...
You say tomorrow.
That's like in modern romance when they're talking about the bowels of the spaceship
and somebody else wants to say basement.
And they're like, you can't have a basement in a spaceship.
Okay, so
Modern Romance. I said it
right, didn't I?
Everyone was like, what are you talking about?
Albert Brooks movie. Okay.
With a gag about the Hulk.
Let's start with Anna. That's right, right?
Yeah, the Hulk, exactly.
When George Kennedy's running,
they loop in the sound of the Hulk running.
And he goes,
Very good, Edgar.
But we're going to start with Anna,
and then go to Edgar,
and then Kieran will go third,
because he's a new player,
and he's got to warm up to it.
So Anna gets to pick the topic.
Would you like,
at Deviantant suggested zombie movies
I thought that was appropriate
another category
is movies about movies where they're
making a movie in the movie
and then the third category is good things come
in bears
which is
movies that have
bears in them
shouldn't that
shouldn't that category now be called life's a picnic
yeah
next time I'll call it life's a picnic
so which of those would you like to play Anna
I'll try
good things come in bears
alright would you like a movie
that has a bear in it or
several bears I'm not saying how many bears.
Could be a one to multiple bear situation.
Would you like one from 1988, 1989, or 2002?
2002.
Most recent.
Two stars from Leonard Maltin.
I dare to say that's generous.
He says about it, it's a lazy excuse for a film
And he says that
Willie Nelson makes a cameo
Appearance
In a movie with a bear
And there are
Nine names
How many names do you think you can get it in?
I guess I'll try five
It's a solid opening bid
We go to Edgar
I am going to go zero
Fuck you.
You guys are right to ooh,
because if he pulls this off,
automatic inclusion in the tournament of championships.
Which is the main reason he's here tonight.
I might be wrong.
After Michael Cera fucked him.
All right, so in the ones you listened to,
did you hear about negative names?
Yeah, I have. There's just no way I'm forced to say name that movie. All right, so in the ones you listened to, did you hear about negative names? Yeah, I have.
There's just no way I'm forced to say name that movie.
All right, here we go.
I might be spectacularly wrong,
but it's got to be The Country Bears.
That's correct.
How is that?
It's a Disney movie.
It's based on a theme park, right?
It's based on a theme park.
It's based on the Bear Country Jamboree at Disneyland.
I couldn't tell you who was the lead.
But after the movie wasn't a hit,
they just closed it and turned it into Winnie the Pooh Ride.
Isn't Christopher Walken in it?
Christopher Walken is the top-billed actor in the movie.
Wow.
Second-billed is Stephen Tobolowsky.
He was a great actor, but he's rarely second-billed.
Ned.
Ned Ryerson is usually billed a lot lower.
Oh, my God, that guy Mitch McConnell, that old politician, was like,
right now the government is like Groundhog Day, that old movie.
He said that on, like, Meet the Press.
The government's like Groundhog Day.
Oh, well, then you should get up the next morning And do something different
I thought for a second you were going to say
They mentioned the country bears
I'll meet the bears
No
Close enough though for me to bring it up
Stoner Association
Alright so Edgar's got a point
And Anna wasn't involved in that skirmish
So she gets to start the next round and pick a category.
Would you like recommended by Scarlet underscore Leather on Twitter?
One-name movies.
That's movies where it's just one name is the title, like a first or last name.
Like a first name of a person.
First or last of a person, real or fictional.
And then Entertainment Weekly's Best Bad
Movie Poll. These are movies that were
named the best bad
movies by readers of that
magazine. And then
In Theaters Now,
which is very popular with people who are aware of
movies that are in theaters now.
I guess
I'll try in theaters now
even though
I think it's going to screw me over
come on
I don't know just from
I was going to give a clue but I'm not going to give a clue
thanks
I was going to pick one of these movies
Leonard doesn't give stars to the current movies
he just writes a really long review
so not really long review.
So, not really long, if you're listening, Leonard.
Call him Leonard.
I call him Leonard when I think he might be listening.
If he's not listening, he's Len to me.
Let's see. So, Leonard can't say he left satisfied
after this movie.
And he also said
that the movie starts out on the right foot.
And it's a current movie.
That's all I get?
That's all you get.
It's a mistake.
How many minutes is it?
Oh, okay.
You want to play it that way?
You want to go for some extra clues?
It is 146 minutes.
And there are 14 names
What do you say, AK?
I don't know, I guess
14 names?
No, there are 14 names
Is that correct?
Yeah, that's how many there are
Six names?
Six names is a good
Good, bold bit.
Come to Edgar.
He's playing for Mike and Don and another guy.
What?
You're playing for Mike and Don and another guy.
I can't remember.
I can't remember three for three, but two out of three is not bad.
I think I know what it is, but I'm going to play.
But what did you just say?
Six.
Okay, I'll go, I'll go four.
It's tough, right?
Don't you want to cut off your own arm? I'm pretty dumb
I might have just given it away
You're such an asshole
Now you're in my head
I can't
I don't toy with people like that
It's not
It's not that movie where the guy cut off his own arm.
It's not the King's Speech.
Leonard Morton would not do a review of 127 Hours
that says it starts off on the right foot.
He saved that for my left foot.
I say bid lower and put Anna in a position to decide.
No.
Sorry to disagree because she could say name that movie
and I'd be...
The names might help.
The three or four names at the bottom?
Yeah, they might help you.
the three or four names at the bottom of the list?
Yeah, they might help you.
Let me look at what the names are.
I think you... I think you didn't come to play
if you didn't recognize these three names
and then probably the movie that they're in.
I'm confident in you.
I said four.
So I say bid three.
I bid three.
Yeah!
Anna?
Well,
but if I
say two and
I'm wrong,
then Edgar gets a point, right?
Well, he will have to say name that movie so he could go lower.
Fuck it.
I'll try two.
All right.
Now, Edgar, what have you got?
I'll go one.
Name that movie.
All right.
You're absolutely going to get it.
I think I know what it is already.
Who do you think the name is?
I don't know about the name, but I think I know what the film is.
The name is Timothy Spall.
Okay.
It's Harry Potter 7, Deathly Hallows Part 1.
Oh, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1.
Yes, that's right.
The other names were Michael Gambon
and Robbie Coltrane.
So you would have gotten it.
I would have gotten it.
Yeah, so I wasn't trying to ruin you.
Did you get one and zero names?
Yeah.
The country bears.
It's my eternal shame.
So first you got into the tournament of championships,
and then you won the whole thing here tonight by doing what you just did just now.
So congratulations goes out to Edgar and Mike and Don.
And who was the third guy?
Adam.
Adam.
Who was the third guy?
Okay, Adam.
I'll bring you your prizes.
And all of you pick up your microphones and just tell us things
that... Do you have stuff...
Karen,
you have a movie called M
that you did? That's actually horseshit.
That's just made up? Yeah.
Because on IMDB, it says he's in a movie
called M and that he plays Rupert Pupkin.
Yeah. And I was looking at that going, what kind of movie M and that he plays Rupert Pupkin. Yeah, King of Comedy.
And I was looking at that going, what kind of movie is that
where you play Rupert Pupkin
and it's totally made up?
It's a fake movie, yeah. That's hilarious.
So don't go see M with
Kieran Culkin as Rupert Pupkin.
Here you go, guys. Here's your prizes.
Now, where are the other two people
that you were playing for?
There's one right there because they get to name a shithead of the week
Okay
Don't say it too loud
Everybody hear it
Do you have anything
In the can that's coming out?
Talk about it
Not for a while and it doesn't have a title
So I don't really know what to say
Sorry I'm the worst
Sorry
I like to let people plug their stuff so I don't really know what to say. Sorry, I'm the worst. Sorry.
That's all right.
I like to let people plug their stuff.
