Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:42 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.
Starting point is 00:01:00 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.
Starting point is 00:01:30 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?
Starting point is 00:01:47 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.
Starting point is 00:02:14 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
Starting point is 00:02:47 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.
Starting point is 00:03:03 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,
Starting point is 00:03:27 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,
Starting point is 00:03:52 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
Starting point is 00:04:13 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.
Starting point is 00:04:29 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?
Starting point is 00:04:46 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.
Starting point is 00:05:02 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!
Starting point is 00:05:22 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
Starting point is 00:05:40 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
Starting point is 00:05:56 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.
Starting point is 00:06:13 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
Starting point is 00:06:39 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.
Starting point is 00:07:06 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.
Starting point is 00:07:24 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.
Starting point is 00:07:42 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.
Starting point is 00:08:02 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.
Starting point is 00:08:26 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
Starting point is 00:08:45 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.
Starting point is 00:09:05 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,
Starting point is 00:09:29 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.
Starting point is 00:09:41 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.
Starting point is 00:09:57 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.
Starting point is 00:10:16 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
Starting point is 00:10:29 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...
Starting point is 00:10:45 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.
Starting point is 00:11:04 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?
Starting point is 00:11:40 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
Starting point is 00:11:55 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
Starting point is 00:12:13 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,
Starting point is 00:12:26 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
Starting point is 00:12:36 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
Starting point is 00:12:44 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.
Starting point is 00:12:57 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.
Starting point is 00:13:16 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.
Starting point is 00:13:35 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
Starting point is 00:14:05 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.
Starting point is 00:14:21 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
Starting point is 00:14:37 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?
Starting point is 00:14:59 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
Starting point is 00:15:11 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.
Starting point is 00:15:31 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
Starting point is 00:15:53 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.
Starting point is 00:16:13 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?
Starting point is 00:16:36 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.
Starting point is 00:16:56 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.
Starting point is 00:17:19 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.
Starting point is 00:17:40 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
Starting point is 00:17:49 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
Starting point is 00:17:58 because they love Hot Fuzz so much and thought that voice was perfect yeah and Timothy Dalton got the role of a hedgehog
Starting point is 00:18:04 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.
Starting point is 00:18:38 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.
Starting point is 00:19:00 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
Starting point is 00:19:13 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.
Starting point is 00:19:32 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
Starting point is 00:19:52 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
Starting point is 00:20:09 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
Starting point is 00:20:19 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.
Starting point is 00:20:30 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.
Starting point is 00:20:48 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
Starting point is 00:21:03 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
Starting point is 00:21:17 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
Starting point is 00:21:33 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.
Starting point is 00:21:49 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
Starting point is 00:22:03 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
Starting point is 00:22:21 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.
Starting point is 00:22:39 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.
Starting point is 00:22:51 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?
Starting point is 00:23:07 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.
Starting point is 00:23:20 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.
Starting point is 00:23:51 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?
Starting point is 00:24:28 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,
Starting point is 00:24:43 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,
Starting point is 00:25:03 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
Starting point is 00:25:23 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
Starting point is 00:25:52 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.
Starting point is 00:26:07 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.
Starting point is 00:26:25 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
Starting point is 00:26:55 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?
Starting point is 00:27:16 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.
Starting point is 00:27:48 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.
Starting point is 00:28:20 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
Starting point is 00:28:47 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
Starting point is 00:28:59 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.
Starting point is 00:29:17 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
Starting point is 00:29:38 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.
Starting point is 00:29:57 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,
Starting point is 00:30:14 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
Starting point is 00:30:30 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
Starting point is 00:30:46 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
Starting point is 00:31:02 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
Starting point is 00:31:29 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
Starting point is 00:31:55 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.
Starting point is 00:32:16 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,
Starting point is 00:32:31 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.
Starting point is 00:32:46 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.
Starting point is 00:33:04 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
Starting point is 00:33:29 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?
Starting point is 00:33:53 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
Starting point is 00:34:12 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
Starting point is 00:34:28 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.
Starting point is 00:34:49 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.
Starting point is 00:35:17 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?
Starting point is 00:35:34 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
Starting point is 00:35:59 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.
Starting point is 00:36:14 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
Starting point is 00:36:53 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
Starting point is 00:37:14 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?
Starting point is 00:37:42 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.
Starting point is 00:38:04 I said four. So I say bid three. I bid three. Yeah! Anna? Well, but if I say two and
Starting point is 00:38:22 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.
Starting point is 00:38:44 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.
Starting point is 00:38:57 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.
Starting point is 00:39:19 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.
