Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, 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. This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you from the Earwolf Studios in Hollywood. Can we see the Hollywood sign from here? No. It's that way? Oh, yeah. We're not even facing the right direction.
Starting point is 00:00:31 Wrong window. But Earwolf Studios, of course, is the home to great podcasts like Comedy Bang Bang, Sklarbro Country, and Who Charted, just to name a few. And this is Tuesday, October 25th, 2 Oceans 11. Since the last time we spoke, or I spoke and you listened, I recorded bonus, boner eps of this podcast and the Benson Interruption podcast at the Gramercy Theater in New York City.
Starting point is 00:00:55 Great shows with great guests like Nikki Glaser, Mike Lee and Black, and first-timer Jim Gaffigan was on Doug Loves Movies, along with New York One reporter, anchorman, I should say. He's never out in the field uh pat kiernan was there it was it was amazing those are available for purchase for two dollars in the comedy album section of itunes soon or now right uh that's interruption nine and doug loves movies nyc3 to be more specific so if you're wondering which ones they were exactly
Starting point is 00:01:28 the Douglas Movies is a fun one because finally audience members got more drunk than me at a live Douglas Movies and so you'll get to hear if you like hearing the name Lars von Trier yelled
Starting point is 00:01:43 over and over again, then this is the boner rep for you. And if you've already heard it while listening to this, I'll just tell you right now, the pink box was full of cookies. I know, it's not the greatest twist in the world, but we made a big deal out of this pink box, and then we never said what was in the box, because the lady finally told us afterwards.
Starting point is 00:02:04 This is some seven shit up in here. Yeah, exactly. Everyone was hoping it was Gwyneth Paltrow's head, but it turns out it was just cookies. So that wasn't really a twist at all. It was a pink box. It would look like it would have cookies in it. But she held it up. For some reason, everyone got excited, because she wouldn't say what was in the box.
Starting point is 00:02:22 because she wouldn't say what was in the box. We're having a contest of sorts to determine which comedian friend of mine will be joining me and members of Weezer in a taping of Douglas movies on the Weezer Cruise in January. So far, it's between Anthony Jeselnik and Nikki Glaser because it has to be comedians who I know and would want to have on there and who also want to go. You can't vote for somebody like, I'm sure Jimmy Pardo would not want to go.
Starting point is 00:02:49 Maybe I'm speaking out of school. I'll ask him. But if you vote for somebody that's not Anthony or Nikki, chances are, you know, then I've got to make sure that they would actually want to go. And it won't take too many votes because here's how you get a vote is if you buy a ticket, if you're on the cruise, and when you're buying your ticket if you say the number one reason that you went on the cruise is because of the douglas movies podcast and then send me proof of that then you get to help decide who else is going to be on the cruise so you got to go to a lot of effort to help decide
Starting point is 00:03:19 it'll probably just end up being left to me because i'm sure most people on the weezer cruise their number one reason for going is Weezer. And then I'm like a nice second, third or fifth or something, you know, Dinosaur Jr., Sebado. It's going to be a good boat for people who like music. So and then holler at me at Twitter if you do any of that. And one more thing before I bring the guests into the conversation. It's time for Watch This, Not That. The number one movie at the domestic box office as I speak is Paranormal Activity 3,
Starting point is 00:03:51 which I have not seen because I don't have the kind of time to sit around for about an hour before going, Oh! Because that's how long the scares take to come in those movies. I get bored. I'll see it. I'll probably see it because I saw the first two and you know those movies. I get bored. I'll see it. I'll probably see it because I saw the first two and you know what a completist I am.
Starting point is 00:04:08 The number two movie is Real Steel, which I have seen. So, see Paranormal Activity 3, not Real Steel. This has been Watch This, Not That. My guests today are the host and sidekick of the podcast
Starting point is 00:04:22 that recently won the top prize in the Earwolf Challenge, the Earwolf Podcast Challenge. It was a competition, a reality podcast competition, to determine what would be a good podcast to have join the Earwolf family. Please welcome from the Totally Lame Podcast, Elizabeth Lame and Psychic Andy. Hey! Hello!
Starting point is 00:04:43 Hi! Husband and wife. Married, yes. Yeah, good for you. And then we've also got Matt Beltnab sitting by as well. Hello, hello. As often happens in these studio shows. Sam Levine is on assignment.
Starting point is 00:04:57 I have no assignments for him. He's just doing whatever he wants to do. So congrats on winning the Earwolf Challenge, you guys. Thanks. Very well done. How does, this probably came up during the Earwolf Challenge, but how does the podcast end up with Elizabeth's last name in the title and Andy's just the psychic?
Starting point is 00:05:18 I think because Andy's not in comedy at all, and I was in comedy in New York and needed to capitalize on my maiden name, which is lame. It's really lame. It's really lame. It's truthfully lame. And I just want all the assholes in high school to know who I am when we have success. Well, let me spell it for them so they can find it. Okay, good.
Starting point is 00:05:42 A-S-S-H-O-L-A-I-M-E. But you pronounce it lame. And so it's the Totally Lame Podcast. Yeah. I totally get it. I'm totally on board. Awesome. The show is you always a guest every time?
Starting point is 00:05:57 Oh, except the very first episode was the two of us. And then I think annually we have a look back at the year. So we've had one of those. Yeah. So there have been two episodes. Is the looking back just verbal reminiscences or do you play clips? We do a little clip down, yeah. Wow.
Starting point is 00:06:13 That's a great idea, Matt Belknap. Oh, no. Uh-oh. Oh, you're right. That's too much trouble. But that would be fun for a show like yours, I think, because then the two of you could sort of discuss which clips you're gonna you know matt and i barely speak to each other so right i get that we don't yeah when you live in the same house you can be like oh
Starting point is 00:06:33 remember that we could play that that's all we talk about let me move in with you for a while man all right well we'll spend a month uh on bunk beds and then we'll see what we come up with you don't need bunk beds well you do come up with your best stuff sometimes when you're laying there trying to fall asleep. So bunk beds is a good idea. You guys lie in bed talking about the podcast. That's all we talk about now. It's a podcast.
Starting point is 00:06:54 But when you're getting ready for that episode, it must be a conversation. It is. It's fun. It's fun going through and remembering our favorite moments. It's a great idea. And for anyone who loves great ideas, my podcast, my great idea is to make the 12 Guests of Christmas an annual event.
Starting point is 00:07:13 So coming up in this December, I think it's the 20th. It's going to be a Tuesday night. Comedy Bang Bang will be off that week, 8 o'clock, UCB. It's probably not even up on sale at UCB yet, so you've got to keep an eye out for it. But I'm inviting all 12 guests that were on last year's
Starting point is 00:07:30 12 Guests of Christmas to come back. Several have already said no, and we'll get replaced with the best people I could possibly get to have 12 amazing guests on stage all at once in a super elimination round of the Leonard Maltin game. Which brings me to, you guys have heard this podcast. Yes,
Starting point is 00:07:49 indeed. And also feel like you're competitive in the Leonard Maltin game. No. Oh, um, it's, you know, it's a crapshoot. It really depends,
Starting point is 00:07:58 but I have a, I'd say a limited kind of, um, library to, to dip into because I love romantic comedy. And I'm guessing that Matt did not choose that as a category today because you guys will be playing against me. Oh. That's right, Elizabeth Layman, Psychic Andy. I was trying to come up with categories.
Starting point is 00:08:20 If I had known that, I would have gone into the wrong column. Oh, that would have been so nice of you to do that for her. Well, just because I can never think of categories. It's always a struggle to come up with whose birthday is it? What's going on? Right. But that's a fun new kind of thing that I'm trying to do is that I don't belabor like choosing a bunch of,
Starting point is 00:08:38 you know, having to have multiple movies that fit a category. So the category can be like a current category that I've been doing is movies where the dog dies. So you could pick that category if you're somebody that thinks, oh, I just can think of five or six of them in my head. If that's something that you remember
Starting point is 00:08:59 when dogs die in movies, I would think that'd be a good category for you because then when I say the year, then you could kind of narrow it down and that's not our category because you do know when the dogs die I do have you done all dogs go to heaven the ultimate dogs too on the nose Matt I went ahead what did I go with I can look it up right now actually I have it right here I think I didn't go with Marley and me but that's's probably my saddest dog dying movie,
Starting point is 00:09:28 especially recently. Oh, what about Vacation? Yeah, that's a good one. Oh, on the leash on the station wagon. Made me think of another category, movies where a grandmother dies. Oh, yeah. And you leave her on the roof of the car for a while.
Starting point is 00:09:45 What's the Cameron Diaz movie where the dog... Oh, something about Mary. That's the dog that doesn't die, though. Yeah, they bring it back to life. It almost dies. Oh, that's true. With electricity. It does die, though.
Starting point is 00:09:58 Yeah, that's true. Good point. It is dead and then is given the... So, trick question. Do you think you're going to be competitive in the Leonard Maltin game? I understand the game. My biggest worry is I don't know a lot of the smaller name actors, if that makes sense. Sure, most people do not.
Starting point is 00:10:15 And that's where I'm scared. Almost every time we play the game, I read at least two or three names that I could not tell you who they are. And I pay attention to that shit. But when I've heard your guys' podcasts, I'm really impressed. Sometimes people know really, really deep names. Yeah. Deep cuts. Doug, you know some crazy names that I'm always surprised.
Starting point is 00:10:35 You always have this knowledge of character actors that's crazy. Yeah, well, when I'm playing against, maybe we'll do it today, when I'm running the game and the contestants are shaky on the game and on and on names in general like they might even be stumped by like an evan rachel wood which i would in my mind everyone should know who she is but i can see where people be stumped by that so i will as i go through the list i will name something else that they were in that's not the right answer but i will mar, but I will give clues along the way. No, Marilyn Manson was in her.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Theoretically. They probably did some weird stuff. But yeah. She was pussy deep in Marilyn Manson. Sorry. Can we say that? Yeah, you can say anything you want as you probably do on your podcast.
Starting point is 00:11:24 That's the glory of it. Is yours listed as explicit yes yeah i just saw one today it's listed actually listed as pussy deep it's weird but matt do we decide if it's explicit or does itunes because i can't listen to all that we just give it a blanket we decide yeah yeah but i mean and i guess you could you could just put whatever, you could put clean. Because I'm sure Paul F. Tomkast. Is clean. Paul F. Tomkast. He must say the F word every once in a while.
Starting point is 00:11:52 I don't know. Because he's not that squeaky clean in his act. You know, his last album was swear free. Yeah, but he got through a whole album that way. But he's not, you know what I mean? He's not somebody that doesn't. No, he swears in life. He's not like Bill Cosby or Brian Regan or Jim Gaffigan who's just decided I'm not going to swear. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:09 I think he might be getting there, actually. I don't know. But I think his podcast, he makes a point of it being clean. But in ad-lib situations, he swears up a storm sometimes. Yeah, and there are phone calls in that show that are not scripted, so maybe there's some swearing slipping in there. Yeah. He didn't swear much as Gary Marshall on Comedy Bang Bang. Comedy Bang Bang, Comedy Bang Bang.
Starting point is 00:12:31 So I decided not to say what dog died movie I have in here because it's such a good one, I want to save it for actual play. Oh. Yeah. But because there's some movies where the dog died is not the you know it's not the story it's not like about a dog dying and those are the ones
Starting point is 00:12:49 that are fun to have in here sure because it's like that's just like Vacation the dog dying was somewhat incidental yeah
Starting point is 00:12:55 I mean it was a series it was one in a series of calamitous events yeah Moose out front should have told you. What have you guys seen lately? Do you go to movies a lot?
Starting point is 00:13:10 Yeah, well, this is funny, because Andy said, what have we seen? And we both were like, what have we seen? But we've seen a lot, actually. We couldn't remember. But we saw Moneyball. Yeah. We saw, I saw Drive.
Starting point is 00:13:23 We saw Horrible Bosses. How did you get an off-by-yourself-seeing-Drive situation going? And why wasn't it the opposite? Why didn't he see it and you not see it? I forget how I got off A friend asked you to go Yeah, it was really weird And you said that you were going to go see Drive
Starting point is 00:13:38 Or what was the other option? I forget And I think it was a movie I wanted to see more than I wanted to see Drive So I was like, I'm going to go see Drive than I wanted to see Drive. Oh, so you told her to see Drive. A lot of dudes love Drive. Well, that's the thing, too. I didn't know much about Drive at the time, and then all the hype happened, and then I felt like a sucker. How did you feel about how violent it was?
Starting point is 00:13:56 That was fine. I actually, I think I was in the camp of, I think I liked it. But I started to feel duped by the end of it like i felt like why didn't people tell me that this is actually like almost by the end it felt like it had turned into like a parody of movies really yeah i didn't think that i maybe for you as parody for me it was just a standard issue kind of stuff like it just sort of kind of ended in a very uh generic sort of way for a movie that the idea is it's supposed to be kind of cutting edge right right well yeah it just becomes more just you
Starting point is 00:14:40 know normal as it goes along like yeah i felt like like, and actually, I went with Janet Varney, and we both felt the same way. And then we were both like, why did no one tell us? But, like, the first third felt like, oh, okay, I get what this movie is. It's going to be great. The second third, there started to be, you know, those long shots, like the shot where he, like, scrunches his fist up in the leather, like squeaks when he's angry, where I was like,
Starting point is 00:15:06 okay, they're getting a little self-indulgent. And then the last part of it, I was like, oh, joke's on us. They're actually throwing this and all the violence and everything in your face because it's like a commentary on movies. But no one else thought that. You got a lot more out of it than I did, and a little bit more out of it than Andy or Matt got. Because they haven't endured it.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Thank you for not throwing any explicit spoilers, because I do want to see it. I'd watch it on cable again, for sure. Yeah. People don't understand when I say that it's disappointing or not that great, that I'm also not saying it's a terrible movie. Right, right, right. It's just, yeah yeah it got really hyped i will say ryan gosling is not hard for a lady to look at for an hour the whole cast of he and everyone else in nights of march you know that evan rachel wood
Starting point is 00:15:56 marissa tomei it's it's a pretty good looking cast and that's another one that i've i just had an argument today with a guy who thinks it's the greatest movie ever. And I was just like, there's not a single. I did not learn a thing about politics watching a movie about politics. And I'm an idiot when it comes to politics. I'm also an idiot when it comes to baseball. But I feel like I learned some shit watching Moneyball. Yeah, definitely.
Starting point is 00:16:20 And it was fascinating. And Ides of March was boring. I just did not get into it hardly at all. Like, a couple little scene here or there. Because everyone was talking about how noir and slick it is. And it's not. It's not. It's just dull to me.
Starting point is 00:16:35 But, again, great cast, all doing a good job. Would probably sit mesmerized by it on cable. But when you're in a movie theater, like Matt with the kid and everything. Like, when you're in a movie theater and like Matt with the kid and everything, when you're in a movie theater and something's boring you, that must be so frustrating because you bet on that movie. You took a chance.
Starting point is 00:16:54 This better be the thing because I don't get to do this very often. I do so much research and talk to anybody I can and make sure this is good before you commit to it. I think the last thing I saw was Crazy Stupid Love. Is that what it's called stupid wow yeah crazy stupid love again yeah and
Starting point is 00:17:10 i liked it i liked it yeah but that's the that's the flip side of what you were saying though is that when you only see like a few movies in the theater i think you're i'm less critical than i used to be because i'm like hey i'm just out is fun. Yeah, so if something's fair, you think it's good. And if something's poor, you think it's awful. You know, like it just, the curve works that way. It just has to be a little bit on the good side of 50% in my head. And then I'm like, great, I had a good time. Well, that's why you liked Crazy Stupid Love.
Starting point is 00:17:39 Because Steve Carell is great. Ryan Gosling is great. And that kid, there's no reason to have so much time on that kid in that movie. Oh, man, you're right about that. That is the thing that makes it not a great movie to me. That's the crazy part of Crazy Stupid Love. Yeah. How much screen time that kid got.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Yeah. And how, no matter how much research you did, you probably might get blindsided by that. Do you think that movie was about a kid? No. Do you think a kid is even in it? No. It's rated R and the trailers are just show me your abs and stuff like that. Yeah, no, no. So then there's a kid no do you think a kid is even in it it's rated r and the trailers are just show me your abs and stuff like that so then there's a kid through the whole movie and he's
Starting point is 00:18:10 in love with an older girl who's a babysitter and she's in love with his dad steve carell so it's a weird kid love triangle it's like well it's a lot like uh dan in real life it is also which i think is a really good movie yeah that one That one, not so much for me. That was DC, wasn't it? I like sleeping on pancakes as much as anybody. Well, that ad, I don't get that ad at all, but I like Dan in Real Life. Dan in Real Life is one that when it's on cable, I can watch it. It is watchable. The ladies in it are really cute.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Steve Carell is, I will watch him in anything. That was the main reason I went to see Crazy Steve. What about Uh oh. What was the one? Dinner for Schmucks. I didn't see it. I will I'm going to say negative on that one. Yeah. Big time. Yeah. You want to like it so bad. There's so
Starting point is 00:18:57 many funny people in it. I love the guy from what's the guy from Flight of the Conchords that's in it? Yeah. Jemaine. Jemaine. Jemaine Clement. He's pretty funny in it too. I liked him. That was the one where He's always pretty funny but he's been in a couple movies
Starting point is 00:19:10 that are like not at his level. That I just yeah you wanted it to be so good and I felt like I could see opportunities
Starting point is 00:19:19 for it to be good but it feels like it was just like At every turn everything Steve Carell does to paul rudd paul rudd just has to have a quick conversation with somebody to solve all the all their problems you know it's just very easy to get out of all the situations that occur and yet somehow it never
Starting point is 00:19:35 happens it's like it's kind of maddening they lost me at schmucks i've just that word was a red flag no you used to be able to not say schmucks i was telling somebody this recently probably on my podcast so sorry go ahead and fast forward you used to not be able to say schmucks on on saturday night live back when like franken and davis were on they had a sketch they had a sketch with the word schmucks in it i think i think they wanted uh richard nixon to say it as played by dan akroyd and um nbc it down. That was in the 70s. And now we've got to have a movie with the word in the title when no one cares, like no one knows what it means, and also they never say it in the movie.
Starting point is 00:20:11 Yeah, it's just a bygone term. It just makes me think a 65-year-old man wrote that movie, and it's just like, hmm. Well, seeing it made me think that as well. I don't know the truth of who wrote it. I wonder who wrote it, actually. I mean, look it up. That's my job here.
Starting point is 00:20:24 You're going to look up who wrote it? Yeah. So I can judge them. So we don't have to drop your voice in saying it later. Yeah, exactly. Got a lot of comments about that. People are, for some reason, excited about my voice dropping into the show. It's funny and startling.
Starting point is 00:20:40 So, Andy, did you say you saw something recently? No. It could be on tv at home yeah i saw on hulu actually an independent film called one too many mornings that i really liked uh wait you were watching orgasmo yesterday when i yeah i got i got about five minutes into orgasmo and then i turned that off i don't think i've ever watched that was the five minutes good uh no it wasn't good. And it was also a really bad time.
Starting point is 00:21:06 I think I'd kind of been wanting to have sex all day with you. And then I turned it on. Here we go. And then I think you thought that I turned it on for some weird reason. And so I turned it on and there's a lot of moaning in the beginning. And then it was just a bad move. So I turned it off. Yeah, that's not smooth.
Starting point is 00:21:24 I like that you said here we go here we go you can't leave this shit at home sorry i'm just kidding okay it's two people i've never heard of david guyon and michael handelman i don't know who those are it's probably like a team a team who got the assignment first and did it, and then they threw a million writers at it. All those great, you know, Zach's in it. It's really, it's too bad. Seems like it was based on a French film, too, because it credits this French guy.
Starting point is 00:21:54 I'm trying to be less mad when they make a bad comedy like that, because, first of all, there's somebody who likes it. You know, I just had a guy today tweet at me that I'm wrong about Clue. Like, people are still defending Clue. People are still defending Clue. The old movie Clue? Yeah. Well, that doesn't surprise me because people my age loved it as children. That's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:22:12 There's probably kids that think Dinner for Schmucks is awesome. Right, right. And they will live their lives thinking that just because sometimes you cling to those and you don't go back and double check. Like Goonies. Or even when you see it again, you still think, oh, I still love this. Right. Like last night we showed Deadly Friend, the Wes Craven movie, as a movie interruption over at CineFamily.
Starting point is 00:22:32 And I didn't like it as a child. As a child, I thought this movie was awful. And then as an adult, it's amazing how awful it is. You know, like as a kid, I was willing to sit through it. But as an adult, if I wasn't sitting there with a microphone making fun of it, I couldn't even get through the whole thing. Because it's paced so poorly and doesn't even feel like, like when it was 1986, I think. What's it called again? Deadly Friend.
Starting point is 00:22:55 I've never even heard of it. It's about this kid invents a robot and then the robot dies. And then the girl next door is the cheerleader. The robot dies? Yeah. That's hard. It's going to be hard to explain the whole thing. Try door is the cheerleader. The robot dies? Yeah. That's hard. It's going to be hard to explain the whole thing. Try to do the fast version.
Starting point is 00:23:09 Because then when the girl dies that lives next door, the cute girl next door, he gets the idea to put the chip from the robot into her head. But then once he does that, she's more robot than person. Uh-oh. And the robot had some scores to settle. Uh-oh. So that sounds pretty good now that I just described it.
Starting point is 00:23:27 But the way it works in the movie is incredibly, it's incredible how awful it is. And we had a good time watching it. At one point, the clip is online. It's on AST right now, in fact, in my thread, the Douglas movies thread. The interruption thread. Movie interruption. Yeah. They, uh, have the clip of Ann Ramsey from Goonies is the mean old lady in it.
Starting point is 00:23:53 And she played a mean old lady. Yeah. It was the mean old lady trilogy of that and throw mama from the train and Goonies and Christy Swanson throws, as a robot girl, throws a basketball at Ann Ramsey's head so hard her whole head explodes. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Yeah. Well, now I want to see it because I like Christy Swanson and also a head exploding. But just go watch that one clip. Okay. And then you'll be set because the rest of it
Starting point is 00:24:20 is not worth all the time and trouble. And, you know, it's one of those movies where everyone's got jeans on that are pulled up too high and they're wearing them weird, you know, like it's not worth all the time and trouble and you know it's one of those movies where everyone's got jeans on that are pulled up too high and and they're they're wearing them weird you know like it's just everything about it is is dated and speaking of that poorly acted if you i saw jurassic park on tv recently and have you ever noticed laura dern's jeans yes her jeans are insanely it's the same thing That's how everybody dresses in... But I lived in that time, and I'm still like,
Starting point is 00:24:48 that is unrealistically high. The waist is too... Well, it's like mom pants or whatever, plus she's really thin, so... Yeah, it's awkward. It's very unfortunate pants, though. She's real thin, and they're kind of like... Ballooning.
Starting point is 00:24:59 Ballooning out. Yeah, that was the style. I recently... Andy was sweet enough to DVR both Father of the Bride and Father of the Bride Part 2 for me. So I had a big ol' marathon and I don't even
Starting point is 00:25:14 remember what years those are, but it was like the styles were so dated. The girls wore like a whole wool sweater with a flannel on top of that and like corduroys. it was so unattractive and they it was kimberly williams who was so cute and they like i i sat there looking at it thinking that was that was that was attractive that was what people wanted to be like i remember wanting
Starting point is 00:25:39 to be like her 91 and 95 so yeah not long ago i mean one was bearable yeah because martin short's in and he's funny he's hilarious he's in both he's in both but i'm but he's hilarious okay yeah i'm just saying that then when they just repeat it all over again like the marathon thing intrigues me because isn't it weird doesn't it really point out how similar the two movies are and how pointless the second one is if you sit through them right back to back? What's the premise of the second one? That they both get pregnant at the same time. Who's both of them? The mom and the daughter, Diane Keaton and Kimberly Williams.
Starting point is 00:26:19 I still really liked both of them, but yes, they're very similar. So Martin Short is throwing the baby shower? Yes. God damn it. The baby, and he helps decorate the nursery, and he's hilarious. I love him. He can be really great. He really can, but he's the victim of, like, I guess you cannot be a great comedic actor
Starting point is 00:26:43 and not be in some shitty shitty movies no matter how smart you are yeah have you talked to your friend like and i mean that how how do you handle that because i'm sure everyone is in something that they hate and they know it sucks but they can't can they say that or they can yeah they can say it uh you know it's it's different levels of where they're saying it like amongst amongst friends, certainly my friends have said, oh, I'm in this bad movie, whatever. And I could even say, like to Brian Posehn, Dumb and Dumber is a shitty movie. And he won't be like, hey! I don't think a guy I know who directed it more, I guess, but he's probably not going to listen to this. And also, directors get stuck with something that ends up being... Absolutely. You know, like, look at Louis C.K. and Pootie Tang.
Starting point is 00:27:32 Yeah. You know, if he'd have done what he wanted to, it may not have been the greatest movie in the world, but studio interference made it, you know, awful. Yeah. You know, or at least there's glimmers of funny parts. Yeah, there are weird, funny things in it. Yeah. And then it's just... Mostly in the first five minutes. Yeah. You know, or at least there's glimmers of funny parts. Yeah, there are weird funny things in it. Yeah. And then it's just mostly in the first five minutes. Like mostly when Chris Rock is actually
Starting point is 00:27:51 on screen. Well, and when Chris Rock flashes back to... Yeah, that's the funniest thing in almost any movie. Yeah. Have you guys seen Poo-Tang? It's real early in the movie, so we can give it away, right? Yeah. It's the sort of thing, if you describe it, it would still be funny to see it later. Yeah, i think that's true because it's i've watched it multiple times and it's funny every time i watch it not the whole movie i've watched
Starting point is 00:28:11 that part multiple times yeah so yeah it's pootie tang it's it's pootie tang chris rock is his dad right yeah and and he's talking about when his dad died and it flashes back it was it's a it's a horrible warehouse accident and it cuts to him in a warehouse pushing a hand truck or something and then just a gorilla jumps out of nowhere on top of him and that's it
Starting point is 00:28:31 yeah but that's the whole joke it's a warehouse accident and then there's suddenly a gorilla out of nowhere and then they cut back and that is
Starting point is 00:28:38 that makes you laugh so hard that the rest of the movie just is sad that it's not more stuff like that. Because you can't have that wild of a twist happen again. No, you can only do the gorilla
Starting point is 00:28:49 on the bed. You can only do that so much. That's the whole movie. Every few scenes, a gorilla attacks somebody out of nowhere. So, I don't know what we were talking about, but that sure was fun. Hygienes. Not hijinks hygiene yeah oh and
Starting point is 00:29:06 then we got into the father of the bride movies although we just say like i haven't seen the big year yet with three very funny dudes owen wilson jack black and steve martin that sat on a shelf because i was just looking at that today on imdb that was 2010 they're doing stuff to promote it together though so they they they're probably all with it. It got a pretty good rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I think so. But I still, as much as I like them, I still have been burned too many times by them as
Starting point is 00:29:34 individuals, and I've never been satisfied with a movie about bird watching. Not once in my life. And I just worry that's gonna I mean that's gonna remain
Starting point is 00:29:47 consistent if I go see it plus it's rated PG it's gonna be on airplanes in you know in four months that's when that's when yeah they get you captive
Starting point is 00:29:55 on a big bird there you go yeah that's the perfect place for a bird watching movie bird watchers are ornithops ornithologists no that's studying it, right?
Starting point is 00:30:06 Isn't there a difference between watching and studying? Probably, yeah. Actually reading a book or just looking at it through binoculars. Yeah, ornithologists. They should take ornithology and enthusiast and put them together somehow. Ornithist. Yeah. Or enthusiasm.
Starting point is 00:30:23 I don't have any or enthusiasm for this movie. But I like all three of those guys. But the reason I flashed on that is because Steve Martin is possibly the biggest
Starting point is 00:30:34 offender of being in some of the greatest comedies and some of the worst comedies of all time. Well, when was the last time he was
Starting point is 00:30:39 in a good movie? Father of the Bride part two. How far back do you have to go? She goes back to two. I go back to one It's complicated? You liked that, right?
Starting point is 00:30:47 Oh, I really did I found that extremely tolerable Mostly because Alec Baldwin Mostly because Alec Baldwin He's a lot funnier than Steve Martin in that Did Nancy Meyers do... I know she did So I'm just a... You're just a Nancy Meyers nut
Starting point is 00:31:03 Yeah, I guess so She did it with her husband, a lot I'm really just a Nancy Meyers nut. Yeah, I guess so. You loved, um, she was, she did it with her husband, a lot of them, and now she does them on her own. Oh,
Starting point is 00:31:09 so it's complicated. She was out. I look forward to that. I think, I think it's complicated. It was kind of based on her breakup with her husband. From what I understand. It had to be based on somebody that's extremely successful and has a lot of money and isn't afraid to show people all of that in a time of very poor yeah very poor economy
Starting point is 00:31:27 because the movie the movie her crisis through the whole movie is redecorating the kitchen or having the kitchen remodeled is like a a hassle for her like oh what do i do and did you see how nice it turned out it turned out really nice pretty nice at the beginning as far as i'm concerned like that house and the whole house is just ridiculously huge and awesome but yeah it's a fun escape kind of to see those movies the scene where she's with all of her girlfriends i literally after the movie i like i called my girlfriends and i was like we're doing a wine night like i wanted to recreate that scene let's bitch yeah but in that scene they all you know they all take turns talking
Starting point is 00:32:10 it's not real at all and then what was the one the other Diane Keaton one before that with Jack Nicholson something's gotta give one of the greatest that's pretty watchable on cable because you know Keanu Reeves plays a doctor, so that's always hilarious.
Starting point is 00:32:29 That's funny. That's interesting in her too, right? Yeah, yeah. Or they date in it or something for a minute? They kind of do, yeah, but he plays a weird doctor. It was an emotional poem for middle-aged women. Yeah, but he was like super cool about them hooking up, right? Like they were dating, but then he backed down for Jack.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Yeah, but Jack, over the course of the movie, bones a mother-daughter. Yeah, Amanda Peete. Yeah. The daughter gives him a heart attack. Right. And while getting nursed back to health in their house, it's the craziest premise. Another amazing house. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:01 Beautiful house, because she's a successful writer in that movie. house yeah yeah beautiful house because she's because she's a successful writer in that movie and then um yeah then then he ends up with diane keaton and it's all about how he he can be happier with her than with that yeah super hot young girl yeah man diane keaton also is nancy myers or diane keaton baby boom is one of your your jams boom is one of my all-time favorite movies. Because when I was like five, I wanted to have a baby. It was those two that unleashed Lindsay
Starting point is 00:33:32 Lohan on the world by putting her in Parent Trap. Oh, really? That husband and wife made the Parent Trap movie that Lindsay Lohan starred in and was great in. She was so great. So great. When is she going to pull a Robert Downey and just stop being an asshole and just go about the business of being a decent performer?
Starting point is 00:33:53 Is that never going to happen? She's back in jail for missing appointments? Wouldn't these appointments... If she's the first person to complain loudly when a song goes, I've got it on lock up like Lindsay Lohan is in a rap. And she complained about that. Like she tried to sue or something. From prison. She complained about it.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Yeah. Like she's like, this is hurting my reputation. Well, why not show up at your appointments and get this behind you? That'll help your reputation a lot more than complaining that you're that you're uh you know a national punchline um andy and i have a theory about girls like her because andy's in the music business so it's sort of you know you see that the girls who start really young and have tons of fame really young and guys i guess when everyone says yes to you from a very young age, you have a completely distorted view of, like, what you can get away with or what there are no consequences ever. So I feel like that's just.
Starting point is 00:34:55 I mean, I feel like that's like a child star problem in general. Yeah. Yeah. But it seems to me like in her. But that's that's a thing that can you can get especially bad when people do start saying no. But Lindsay Lohan, her slide, she managed to make that happen while also getting whatever she wants. She wasn't suddenly not in demand anymore and then became a complete asshole. Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:35:23 I can't think of a better environment to be on for a young actress in Hollywood than this set of mean girls. Tina Fey, Amy Poehler. That movie is scattered with women. It was like the predecessor to what was going to happen with Bridesmaids, where a bunch of women can get together and make a hilarious movie. And so that was a perfect environment for her. I'm sure that Rachel McAdams
Starting point is 00:35:39 is a perfectly nice person. It's got to just be that Lindsay Lohhan's mother and father especially her mother are just complete dicks who who who would just cause her to keep keep doing that well they probably like bought into the fame side you know it's when you flip the switch from like i'm gonna be a an artist or whatever to i'm be famous, like bought into the fame machine. I don't know. I guess.
Starting point is 00:36:07 I don't know. Even Amanda Seyfried. Look at her from Mean Girls. She's a big movie star now. Yeah, she's doing all right. She's in a lot of movies I don't see. No, we met her recently. I do want to tell this story.
Starting point is 00:36:22 Do it. What happened when you met her? Our friend is dating her sister, who is very cool. And we went to a birthday party at their house. And it's a super nice house, not pretentious. It was just a cool party. But they did get ponies for the birthday party. Miniature ponies.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Miniature ponies. And you couldn't ride them unless you weighed less than 110 pounds so amanda was the only person at the entire party who could ride they had a scale there no but i mean it was she's a liar it was pretty obvious she's lying she's got to weigh more than 110 i don't think so she's she's really short yeah she's tiny. She's really short? Yeah. She's tiny. Because she's curvy. She's not one of those emaciated types. In person, she's itty bitty. Yeah, I think she's just small of stature. Really?
Starting point is 00:37:13 Yeah. All right. She's not sickly. Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah. When you see someone on film, someone who looks normal on film or whatever, then you see them in person, they're crazy tiny, but she's not like,
Starting point is 00:37:26 she doesn't have the cut, you know, like I know what you're saying. Like she doesn't have those cut arms. She's got a big rack. You can just say that. She's got, yeah,
Starting point is 00:37:33 she's got the boobs to back up the rest of the body. That's true. That's true. You know, like when Jennifer Aniston was at her hottest in the first few years of being Rachel, she was, she had more of a figure and it was awesome. And then,
Starting point is 00:37:44 yeah, a lot of show business got a hold of her. They get a figure, and it was awesome. Yeah, a lot of celebrities got a hold of her. They get whittled down by show business. I feel like Angelina Jolie was curvy. She just stops at Mr. and Mrs. Smith for me.
Starting point is 00:37:58 The scene where she's in the bondage gear and then jumps out the window, that's my favorite thing that ever happened. You don't like some of that earlier? Like, is it Gia the one where she's like... That's all right. She's so naked in that. She's so naked in that it's ugly.
Starting point is 00:38:13 I don't like nudity that's not supposed to be sexy. Like, nudity that's just supposed to be frank and realistic. Like, when girls are bending or squatting. So, do you like accidental do you like my friends into like instead of looking at normal porn he likes there's i guess there's sites where there's like ads that have gone wrong so it'll be like lingerie ads where like a nipple's accidentally showing and stuff is that like that's fun to see but i don't seek that out okay okay i didn't you know i never clicked on the clip about Nancy Grace's tit falling out on the screen. Oh, no, I didn't see that either.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Absolutely not. I had no interest in seeing that. Yeah, that's the last thing I'm going to click on. You guys missed out. You saw it? It was hot. How much came out of there? No, I didn't see it.
Starting point is 00:38:55 I don't know. What about, did you see Foxfire? I think Angelina Jolie was like 20 or something. It's like a weird, rare movie. I happened to work for the company that produced it. She pulls her shirt off in it and she's just like boom.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Sam. You haven't seen that? I think she did a lot of nudity early on. Wasn't she kind of naked in a movie with Antonio Banderas? She's done her share. she wasn't afraid of it no no i don't know but like in in mr mrs smith she's always just got sexy outfits on and it's all under control and she's but i don't like that looks great overdone like what was the one the tourist like i saw that trailer and she's like too much like it's too much intense yeah like she's if you're naturally beautiful
Starting point is 00:39:44 just be natural well that was the thing in the Yeah. If you're naturally beautiful, just tone it. Be natural. Well, that was the thing in the beginning, too. She was so naturally beautiful. Maybe she had a little work done. She's older. She looks kind of hacked up. I have to say, when you were talking about these movies, the hottest movie I've ever seen,
Starting point is 00:39:58 the movie that was the hottest to me was Stealing Home. Do you guys remember that? And there was a kid. Jodie Foster was in it, and the young kid that she babysat. Oh, baseball. She's her babysitter. She's his babysitter.
Starting point is 00:40:13 And then they start hooking up, but he's like, he's a novice, and she, oh, it's really good. Jodie Foster? Yeah. Yeah, that's weird. Is it Jodie Foster? You guys.'s weird Is it Jodie Foster? You guys Oh I'm thinking
Starting point is 00:40:27 of Summer Catch with Jessica Biel Oh Summer Catch There's only so many romantic baseball movies but I went The Stealing Home
Starting point is 00:40:36 now I'm intrigued It sounds like it's the situation that it's not like anybody there's not the cast was not what got you going
Starting point is 00:40:43 The scene that really spoke to me. And I was younger. I mean, but it was a scene where he loses his virginity. But it doesn't show a lot. But it's just how, like, awkward they are. But obviously they're really, you know, in that teenage, like, 20. But wait, she's way older than him, right?
Starting point is 00:40:59 No, he loses his virginity to another girl. Let me tell you what Leonard Maltin, how he describes it. Oh, yes. Has been baseball player is summoned home to take care of the ashes of an old friend who killed herself. Sexy. Story flashes back to his relationship with her at several ages. Wait, how old is she in this? When was this? I was picturing, like, teenage.
Starting point is 00:41:42 This is 1988. Oh, oh, so she's, like, an adult. She's playing, like, an 18-year-old in it, right? Yeah was picturing like teenage. This was 1988. Is she a teenager? Oh, oh, so she's like an adult. She's playing like an 18-year-old in it, right? Yeah. She does, yeah. Yeah, but she's probably older than that in real life. And there are 12 names. It's Mark Harmon's the lead in it.
Starting point is 00:41:57 Yeah, yes, that's right. So that's why that movie just is like out of my memory banks entirely, because it's hard to imagine Mark Harmon and Jodie Foster starring in a movie together. Because she's always been a movie star and he's always been a TV guy. But they don't actually ever really have screen time because she is the ashes. That explains it. She is the ashes. Oh, so he's walking around with her in an urn.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Right. Correct. The flashback is her with the kid. The kid is having sex with her. Who's the kid? Oh. Yeah, I don't know that he's gone anywhere, which is a damn shame.
Starting point is 00:42:27 Mark Harmon? No, the kid is named William McNamara. I think he's worked before, and his friend must have been Jonathan Silverman. Yes, that's right.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Yeah. Oh, William McNamara is the guy from, what was that, Sigourney Weaver movie with the, he was a serial killer. Or no. Yeah. Right?
Starting point is 00:42:47 He was? In Copycat? Copycat. Is that the guy from Copycat? I don't know. Click it. I'm going to try to figure it out right now. I'm going to win. It is the guy from Copycat. Nice. That movie's awesome, by the way. So he did go on to do at least that. What was the rating for Stealing Home? Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Now you really got me. Just curious. You got me in trouble because I got to go backwards on this thing. I'm not good at it. He gave it two and a half stars. Yeah. But William McNamara, good pull on that. He's good.
Starting point is 00:43:17 I don't know why he's not around more. He's kind of a Carrie Elway type. Shall we play a game? Yeah. Oh, good. We don't have a theme song. You just gave us one. That's type. Shall we play a game? Yeah. Oh, good. We don't have a theme song. You just gave us one. That's perfect.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Wouldn't that be funny if every week we just dropped that in and just started going... A faint hum. What was that? That's me being nervous. I know.
Starting point is 00:43:39 This is going to be exciting. I'm going to wipe the floor with you guys. Uh-oh. One of my categories... I get the impression. This is exciting because you were talking about movies where dogs die. And one of my categories is sort of similar to that in concept.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Here are the categories. Are we starting with somebody? Yeah. Who do you want to start with? Should we start ladies first? Sure. All right, Elizabeth. And then we'll go to Andy and to me,
Starting point is 00:44:06 or go to me to give you a chance to acclimate. Oh, right, that's the other thing. I have to... No, I'm game for whatever. I know the game. Okay, so we'll go to Andy second then, and then come to me. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:44:16 I'm going to use this weird website again that this guy made to keep Stokor, but now I've... I got the order thing down cold. I'm pretty good on it now. All right, good, because that takes the pressure off me. Do you, I don't know, do you do this too, but now I've I got the order thing down cold I'm pretty good at it now alright good because that takes the pressure off me
Starting point is 00:44:26 do you I don't know do you do this too because like now we're just doing one movie for each category yeah so now I'm going to
Starting point is 00:44:32 give you a category name but not tell you what it means until you choose that's a nice little oh that's kind of fun but I don't do that I like to say what it is
Starting point is 00:44:40 just because I don't want to sit around trying to think of ones where it sounds like it's one thing turns out it's another yeah I think this is fun it's kind of like the $25,000 pyramid where you don't want to sit around trying to think of ones where it sounds like it's one thing, turns out it's another. Yeah, I think this is fun. It's kind of like the $25,000 pyramid where you don't really know what you're getting
Starting point is 00:44:50 into. I always liked that. Yeah, but on that, it always ends up being something that sort of makes sense. Well, this does make sense. I'm not trying to mislead anybody. Yeah, but you know, here's what would happen if I did it this way every week. Everyone would sit there and go, well, that must be, it makes you ponder
Starting point is 00:45:08 it more than you need to. Alright, so don't take too much time. Don't ponder. Just hear this and just go with what you think sounds good. Here, you can choose between these two. Cat people or Goldilocks? Goldilocks. Goldilocks. This was, that was misleading.
Starting point is 00:45:24 It's Adam Goldberg's birthday today. So it's Adam Goldberg movies. Yeah, the day we're recording this, the 25th, is Adam Goldberg's birthday. Yeah, see, I just called the category Adam Goldberg and get it over with, but that was fun. I thought it was going to be Goldie Hawn. Me too. Oh, that would have been good too. I thought it was going to be Lindsay Lohan because she's in lockdown.
Starting point is 00:45:47 So, this is a movie that Adam Goldberg is in. There are 12 names. Got three stars. The year is 1999. Let me pull some interesting
Starting point is 00:46:04 twists in the script, keep it from being a one-joke comedy. And that's all. I think that's all I need to give you. So, 12 names is where we start the bidding. Elizabeth. 1999. She takes notes.
Starting point is 00:46:21 I love it. 12 names. I'm love it. Twelve names. I'm going to do seven names. Seven names. Game to play. Go to Andy. I'll say six. Six to Doug.
Starting point is 00:46:40 It's heating up. I think it forces me to go five. I feel like I'm going to be in trouble if I do. I will say there are some big names. Don't say anything. I say five names. It doesn't mean it's... Name that movie.
Starting point is 00:46:56 Five names. Oh, boy. I thought that's where this was going. All right. I have no idea at this point. 99. Five names. I can't think of a single comedy that he was in that would get that much of a rave from Leonard.
Starting point is 00:47:10 But go ahead. Give me the five names. Clint Howard. Ooh, that's extremely helpful. Yes, it is. This is a movie directed by Ron Howard. Wow. Okay, give me more.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Vivanka Davis. Our friend Adam Goldberg happy birthday oh no he's got a small part elizabeth hurley uh-huh and dennis hopper is that far down whoa yeah crazy right and it gets crazier from there but that's's all you get. Yeah, that's all I get. Those are five names. Vivanka doesn't help me. I don't know who that is. Oh, it's Viveka. Vivika? It's Vivika, but spelled differently than Vivika Fox. Oh, okay. But Vivika who?
Starting point is 00:47:54 Vivika Davis. Vivika Davis. Okay, I think she's an older lady. 1999. Goldberg. Goldberg the wrestler. I'm Goldberg. It's that lowly build.
Starting point is 00:48:11 It's a comedy. It's got some twists. Keeps you going. I've got a great hint for this one, too. And it was directed by Ron Howard. I guess maybe it wasn't. I guess Clint slipped into somebody else's movie. So I give up.
Starting point is 00:48:28 I don't know. I'm going to give you one hint and see if this helps you. It might not help you at all. But Elizabeth gets the point. Okay, Elizabeth gets the point. Hey! There's a diner called The Silver Spoon in West Hollywood. And I think Tarantino used to go there a lot
Starting point is 00:48:46 or doesn't, I don't know, maybe still. There's posters on the wall all over the place. A lot of them are Tarantino movies. But this movie's poster is up there signed by some of these people. And it's weird because it's kind of a forgettable movie. But let me give you the rest of it. Dennis Hopper, Rob Reiner, Ellen DeGeneres,
Starting point is 00:49:04 Martin Landau. Ed TV? Ed TV. Damn it! Oh my gosh. Sally Kirkland, Woody Harrelson, Jenna Elfman, and Matthew McConaughey. Crazy cast.
Starting point is 00:49:14 I ruled out the Ron Howard thing because of Dennis Hopper. I don't remember Dennis Hopper being in any comedy. It's kind of a forgettable Ron Howard movie, though. And also, Leonard's being much too nice to it, I think. Yeah, I don't remember it being all that good. No. It's no g movie, though. And also, Leonard's being much too nice to it, I think. Yeah, I don't remember it being all that good. No.
Starting point is 00:49:28 It's no gung-ho. All right, so Elizabeth got the point. Woo-hoo! All righty. I still managed to sound like I know something, so this is fun. So this time, since I challenged her, it will come to me from the person who was not involved which would be andy so it goes andy then me then elizabeth okay so we didn't do cat people and i'm gonna throw trick or treat into the mix and are you gonna tell me which each of these are after you pick one once you pick
Starting point is 00:49:57 we'll find out cat people it's a one-time only fun thing we're doing i I think the internet's going to be a buzz at this new twist. Okay, Cat People is the movie Puss in Boots is coming out on Friday, the day this drops. So this is movies with a cat or cats prominently featured.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Okay. That's pretty straightforward. It's a movie with either cats or people in it. I was saying this is kind of like the dogs. It's a movie with either cats or people in it. I was saying this is kind of like your dogs dying premise where it's like a weird random thing. Yeah, but cats are in a lot of movies. Yeah, but not just walking by the background. Oh, you're talking central figure of a movie is a cat.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Well, like they're talking cats? Not talking cats. How important is the cat that O.J. Simpson saves in Towering Inferno? Boy, that's a good litmus test I have to say if the cat has a name if they name the cat in the movie I think that's the kind of
Starting point is 00:50:52 well you know they always do in the credits no not the real cat I mean the character no that's what I'm saying they do both they say who they were playing and what the animal's name is
Starting point is 00:51:00 in a lot of credits oh really that's weird yeah yeah even in Towering Inferno I don't know about that one, but probably, because they do mention it by name
Starting point is 00:51:07 because Fred Astaire, it's his cat, and he's walking around going, where's my cat? Or no, it's... Well, then that's important. I don't remember that from Towering Inferno.
Starting point is 00:51:12 It's the lady who dies. It's her cat. I don't want to give away too much of Towering Inferno. Yeah. Don't spoil it for us. Somebody tweeted me something about
Starting point is 00:51:21 there should be a movie called Towering Inferno Heist with Eddie Murphy and Bess Taylor. Okay, go. All right. So it's cat movies. Movies with a cat featuring a cat. Yeah, movies that have Kat Von D in them.
Starting point is 00:51:36 Yeah. Boy, that'd be a short list, I think. Has she ever been in a movie? I don't know. Good question. I'll look it up later. Okay, this is the year 2000. Leonard gave it two and a half stars.
Starting point is 00:51:48 There's eight names. And, uh... It's a funny setup, but the results are frustratingly uneven, says Leonard. They are... Did I say there's eight names? Eight names.
Starting point is 00:52:00 That's it? Yeah. What year? 2000. And there's a cat in it i mean i have no idea i'll say seven so now it goes to me what yeah are you sure oh yeah i guess she challenged you okay i told you i got this finally Finally. It took me a while. You said seven out of eight? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:30 I'm going to say six out of eight. Okay. I'm going to... Do I play? I want to play. I'm going to say five. Fuck it. I'll say play. I'm going to say five. Fuck it. I'll say four. Oh, Nelly.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Exciting. I have to say name it. Okay. Four names. As much as I'd like to try to name it in three. I'll let you know if I know it in three. Year 2000, two and a half stars. Frustratingly uneven.
Starting point is 00:53:02 Four names. Phyllis George. I'm shrugging owen wilson john abrams and james is it reborn or reborn reborn is it r-e-b-h or r-e-b-h-o-E-B-H-O-R-N. Yeah, Rebhorn. I feel like I should know who that is, but I don't. He's always like a warden or a lawyer, a judge, or a grandparent of somebody. Mm-hmm. Older-looking gentleman, usually wears glasses. I think I got it.
Starting point is 00:53:36 Oh, I do, too. What is it? Meet the parents. Yes! Oh! Nice! That's not about a cat. I didn't say it was about a cat. That's a jinx. Mr. That's not about a cat. I didn't say it was about a jinx.
Starting point is 00:53:47 Mr. Jinxy Cat Jinxy. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I know there's a cat in it. I think that cat is prominent. Speaking of an urn of ashes. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That too.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Yeah, no, the cat's very prominent. That was a good one. That was legit. Owen Wilson gave it away, right? Yeah. Definitely. Yeah, I don't think I knew any other people. Because I was already starting to go, when did Owen Wilson have a small part in something like that?
Starting point is 00:54:11 Small, but I think he stole a couple scenes in that movie. All right, so Elizabeth has a point, and Andy has a point, and Elizabeth was out of that, and I challenged Andy, so we start with Elizabeth and then go to me. All right, I'm getting down to it. We're down to two categories. Trick or treat or husbands and wives? Oh, I got to do husbands and wives. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:32 This category was chosen because you two are married and you are on a podcast together. These are movies where the leads are married in real life. Oh, that's good. Like it. And the year is 1994. The stars are two. Not just the leads, but Leonard gave it two stars. It was confusing the way I phrased that.
Starting point is 00:54:55 Eleven names. And let's see. Let's see. By the numbers, says Leonard, and, uh, also,
Starting point is 00:55:10 uncomfortably voyeuristic. One part of this movie is uncomfortably voyeuristic. What year? Love it. 94. 11 names. Elizabeth's jotting some things down. I'm going to say six.
Starting point is 00:55:33 Six. Wow. All right. I have to go five. Five. I will say four. Name that movie. Okay. So we're going to have a winner
Starting point is 00:55:56 one way or the other. I'm out of this. Look at what we did. Yeah, you guys beat me. This is their plan all along yeah four names uh from 1994 you will know at least one of these people if not two royce d applegate no idea that is not one of them great name yeah burton gilliam philip Seymour Hoffman, and Richard Farnsworth. From 94.
Starting point is 00:56:31 Doug has a look of understanding and realization on his face. What's the category again? Husbands and Wives. Husbands and Wives. Shit. Oh, I know it. Farnsworth, and who was the other one we know? Phil Seymour Hoffman.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Phil Seymour Hoffman. Interesting. I'm trying to think of Philip Seymour Hoffman movies. Old ones. This is early on in his career. The smallest part. But then Farnsworth is there too. Who's Farnsworth? The Gray Fox.
Starting point is 00:57:04 He was in A Straight Story, the guy that wrote his... He's an old guy. Lawnmower across the country. David Lynch directed it. He was one of the two kind of managers of, you know, coach or manager of the baseball team in The Natural with Robert Redford. Right, right. And I feel like he was in a lot of old movies.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Westerns. Westerns and stuff. Great actor. team in the natural with robert right right and i feel like he was in a lot of old movies westerns westerns and stuff great actor i'm gonna let's see i want to guess i think you should i'm not zoning in i mean i i want to guess too What'd you say about it again? Okay. Because, yeah, I think that is really, you know, the category is probably the most helpful part of this for you guys right now. You specifically, Andy, because it's yours to guess.
Starting point is 00:58:00 I said it was a bit by the numbers, according to Leonard, and also one scene was uncomfortably voyeuristic. One scene? Yeah. Is it a comedy or a drama, or is that too big of a hint? That's a great hint. I can say no more. Well,
Starting point is 00:58:16 I mean, I can't even think of a movie with him back that far ago for some reason. I know there were tons. I really don't even have a guess. I will say don't remember the philips humor often from this movie if that tells you anything about it yeah he had a small part that's for sure but i can't even guess but i don't that'll be fun so so andy's i think i'm gonna bow out yeah i don't i don't know he says he's out so elizabeth wins the game but also show off by saying the name of the movie, too. Okay, this is a huge stretch.
Starting point is 00:58:47 It just came to me, though. Is it Fargo? No. No, neither of those dudes are in Fargo. Give me some more names. Give me some more names before you say anything more. Is that because Francis McDormand and Bill Macy? Yes.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Yeah, that's not right, but I see where you're going. Okay. Those two are a couple? Yeah, they're married. Oh, wait. Yeah, that's not right, but I see where you're going. Okay. Those two are a couple? Yeah, they're married. Oh, wait. No, they're not. No, that's wrong. Francis McDormand is married
Starting point is 00:59:11 to Ethan Coen. Oh, and he's married to Felicity Huffman. He's married to Felicity Huffman, who isn't in that movie, right? But you see how I got confused. You guys were tripping me out that you were agreeing on that,
Starting point is 00:59:21 and I was like, that's not... I'm glad that you caught that. Yeah. We'd have to drop that in later if I didn't. Oh my God, I would have to correct myself from after the fact. All right, so Richard Farnsworth, James Stevens, Jennifer Tilly. Oh, wait a second.
Starting point is 00:59:38 David Morse. Oh, wow. Here's another giveaway. James Woods. That should give it away well he's prominent in it yeah yeah Michael Madsen and then the stars wait don't say them yet
Starting point is 00:59:54 then Mary wait oh god damn it it's the first movie that popped into my head when you said the voyeuristic thing and I didn't get a guess anyway it was Andy's to guess but it's the getaway that popped into my head when you said the voyeuristic thing. I didn't get a guess anyway. It was Andy's to guess, but it's The Getaway. The Getaway. Alex Baldwin and Kim Basinger.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Yes. Never would have gotten that. There is an explicit sex scene that is uncomfortably voyeuristic, knowing that they're married. Here, Andy, write down on this piece of paper who you'd like me to call a shithead on your behalf on one of those blank spots where it says so-and-so's a shithead and so-and-so's a shithead. And thanks so much for coming on, you guys. Congratulations for winning, Elizabeth. There's no prize to speak of.
Starting point is 01:00:30 I guess you could keep your headphones or something. I mean, that wouldn't be allowed. They're Earwolf's headphones. And let me see. All right. That's going to sound weird for me to say that, but okay. And then, oh, I got one. Do you guys have anything to plug?
