We hang out at, we go to a party every week.
You know, a lot of us go to this party every week,
and they always dress identically.
They're like the Olsen twins in the early days.
We've both been working out together doing the P90X.
Yeah, we've been working through the P90X.

Because I'm so excited that you're here.
You're my favorite on-screen racist of all time.
Thank you, thank you.
You bring such passion to it.
I do my best.
Yeah, yeah.
But my question for you is, getting off of movies just for a quick second,
Walking Dead, the TV series,
you're going to be back in season two right
so that's not some big secret they're trying to not it's not a big secret anymore but they don't
tell me anything you know i know i'm gonna be back but i don't know when and um they're just
hanging out and so they don't have to pay me you know so i'll be back one day i don't know
i'll kill i'll be killing one day. I don't know.
I'll be killing people and shit like that when I get back, though. Don't worry.
Yeah, you're going to be a one-handed maniac.
Don't you get paid in squirrel meat
anyway?
Yeah, my brother, he hunts the squirrels
and I eat them.
That was Sean Gunn that asked
that question for the listeners.
He and James called each other up and said, let's have spiky hair tonight.
And you're brothers, and you've worked together all the way back to like Tromeo and Juliet.
Sean was in that.
And then you, of course, are one of the henchmen along with Michael Rooker in Super.
So my question to you is, who do you enjoy working with more, your brother or Michael Bay?
Because you're in Pearl Harbor, right?
There's Michael Bay in Pearl Harbor.
This is true.
I don't know whether or not I was cut from the movie because I've never seen it.
It is long.
It's hard to get to.
My name is high up in the credits, which is crazy because I was there for two days.
And swear to God, Michael Bay never introduced himself to me.
Well, seriously, he never really was the director of the movie.
He never was like, hey, I'm Michael Bay.
It's like, all right, whatever.
Fuck you.
Didn't you used to play softball with Michael Bay?
No, that was our other brother.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, I'm not going to get into that.
I don't know what that's about.
You do have another brother?
We have three more brothers.
There's five of us all together, yeah.
We're all in the entertainment industry.
Oh, wow.
My brother Patrick, he's on the financial side of film in New York.
My brother Matt is one of the writers on the Bill Maher show.
My brother Brian is a
screenwriter. He's got Journey to the Center of the Earth 2
coming out this summer.
Oh, what do they do? Go back to the center
of the earth again?
A second time.
That shit wasn't hairy enough the first time we did it.
They left their iPhone 4
down there. This time it's with The Rock.
This time it's with The Rock.
They upgraded the movies. Yeah, every franchise is just it's with The Rock. This time it's with The Rock. So they upgraded the movie. Yeah, every franchise
is just going to add The Rock.
Well, The Rock,
Middle of the Earth,
Rocks and shit like that.
They decided they're going to use
Sophie's Choice 2.
Have you seen that
with The Rock?
Sophie's Choice 2?
That guy's very comfortable
with walking across the stage.
That was pretty amazing.
No, no, it's all good.
Don't apologize.
I just thought it was pretty awesome the way you walked through there.
I thought, oh shit, Ray Nelson's here.
We respect people who know how to upstage and shit.
Yeah, yeah.
No, it's powerful.
Powerful stuff.
Let's talk to Steve Agee for a second here on the end.
Grab a mic there, Steve.
I had one line in the movie Super,
so I figured I'd say one line here tonight at the podcast.
All right, pass the mic.
Pass it.
Ellen.
I have a question for Ellen.
You narrate a new documentary that's out
playing in various places around the country, right?
Yeah.
What's it about, Spelling Bees?
Yeah, it's about the deterioration of the small town
and the loss of Spelling Bees in elementary schools.
You're lying, but what's it called? of the small town and the loss of spelling bees in elementary schools. No, you lied,
but what's it called?
It's called Vanishing the Bees.
Oh, the Vanishing the Bees.
The bees are going extinct.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I was trying to make a stupid joke
out of the title of the movie,
and you ran with it in a way
that made me even dumber.
You dug my dumb hole even deeper
by actually running with it
But it's actually
It's a serious documentary
That you narrate
And then I saw you on Bill Maher
Talking about it
Did you meet James' brother
James and Sean's brother
When you were there?
No, we didn't meet
Yeah, I'm sure the writers of Bill Maher
Don't even
Don't come up for air
I'm sure you never see them around
They're like busy
Making awesome jokes
But so
It's playing in theaters all over Like A few theaters at a time Around the country you never see them around. They're like busy making awesome jokes. But so,
it's playing in theaters all over,
like,
a few theaters at a time
around the country?
Yeah,
it plays in a few theaters
and then people can set up
their own screenings at home
and throw their own screenings
at theaters
and you can do that online
and it's...
Just go to the title
of the movie.com?
Yeah.
Vanishingofbees.com?
The Vanishing Bees. Vanishingbees.com. Vanishingbees.com. Or you can search The Vanishing Bees. You know, The Vanishing of the movie.com? Vanishingofbees.com? The Vanishing Bees.
Vanishingbees.com.
Vanishingbees.com.
Or you can search The Vanishing Bees.
You know, The Vanishing of the Bees.
I love it.
Do that, everybody.
Search the shit out of it.
Now, James, I know you've been promoting Super for probably what seems like forever.
Yeah, I have.
I have.
And how's it doing?
It's doing great. We just got our VO. So we're doing this thing where it's, I have, I have. And how's it doing? It's doing great.
We just got our VO,
so we're doing this thing
where it's, you know,
Super's a very small movie.
We made it for a couple of million dollars
and all the cast worked for scale
and it's a passion project
and we're in a limited amount of theaters
but we're also simulcast on VOD
and it's doing pretty well in theaters
but the numbers on VOD,
do you know this?
No.
They're huge.
They're huge.
A lot of dudes alone.
It's been doing really well in no small part.
What?
Are you having a side conversation?
He just said, what is VOD?
I thought it was some sort of STD thing.
He knew VD very well, but he didn't know VOD.
No, I know.
He knows all the VDs very well.
It's a fun promotion for the movie.
If you watch it, you get an STD.
Makes it more exciting.
But VOD is video on demand.
Yes.
I knew that.
I knew that.
Okay.
Yeah, it's on demand.
You can go to your cable network and look it up and buy it and watch it, and it's great.
And Ellen is really, truly amazing.
Yeah, I want to start a Best Supporting Actress campaign.
She really is.
I mean, honest to God, I would be saying this exact same thing if it were not true.
But it is true.
And she's amazing.
She's amazing.
But really, she is.
And I mean, like everybody that sees the movie, and you know it, because everybody
keeps telling you.
I see all the tweets to you.
Oh, my God.
She's hot.
She's hot.
Yeah, but you wrote a great character for a young woman, and that's rare, you know?
Thanks.
I'd say she's, I'd put weird before hot when describing her performance, but okay.
Because it's kind of, the scene where she's being hot is pretty,
yeah, you were into it?
You are the total VOD audience
for this movie.
And she does the whole
calisthenic thing and the sweat.
Okay, alright, alright.
I thought most of her
sexuality in the movie was made
to make me uncomfortable, but apparently it was hot.
No, no, no. Most of her sexuality in the movie was made to make me uncomfortable, but apparently it was hot.
You probably also really like when the thing's licking... You know, it's just my true feelings, I'm sorry.
...Brain Wilson's brain.
Can we talk about what turns Rooker on?
Please.
Rooker, can I talk about it?
That's not fair.
Rooker loves when a woman has...
This is your fetish, right?
It's like a woman has.
I don't call it a fetish.
I just think it's a.
He wants a woman with long, dark hair, right?
To put hot oil on her hair.
Gotta be hot, yeah.
And sit astride you, correct?
Yes, yes, yes.
And whip you with the hair.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
And that's like your thing, right? That's not a thing. That's not a thing. That's hair. Oh, yeah. And that's like your thing, right?
That's not a fetish.
That's real.
No, no, it's way too specific to be a fetish.
It is.
And then shit in his mouth.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I don't do that stuff.
No, I made that last part up,
but the rest is totally true.
I'm trying to think of a name for it.
For the hair
and then the shitting in the mouth.
No, no, we don't do the poopy in the mouth.
But you did say
one set. It wouldn't be a big deal if somebody shit on you
though. Remember that?
It wouldn't be a big deal. Look, I've though. Remember that? It wouldn't be a big deal.
Look, I've been an actor in Hollywood
for more than 20 years. People have been shitting on me
for fucking 20 years.
You do have that scene in Mallrats where you're sort of
licking chocolate that's
from Jason Lee's
butthole.
I didn't know that was from...
No, the character didn't know that and the actor didn't know that was from... The character didn't know that
and the actor didn't know that.
But Kevin Smith told me they really did that
to that and you loved that.
They wanted it to be realistic.
You couldn't stop eating it.
I love it super how you have a box of
very generic looking Good & Plenty's
that you're eating
and they offer in a weird moment.
That's his fault, not mine.
But we decided to do that
like the minute
before we started
shooting or something.
We're like,
hey,
I want you to munch
on something.
And so then they made
this fake Good & Plenty label
in about 10 minutes
while sitting on,
yeah,
while on stage.
So I was in a hotel room
a couple days ago
and saw,
when you go in the movies,
when it's like still
in theaters or whatever, Super is one of the movies when it's like still in theaters
or whatever
Super is one of the movies
you can watch
in a hotel room
yeah I saw
I saw your tweet about that
yeah that was cool
and I tweeted about it
I was so excited
and then you went
to the adult section
and said rent it
yeah I moved on
but
I'd seen it on the big screen
where it's meant to be seen
and I will
you've seen it
the movie three times
two and a half
two and a half
that's right yeah yeah yeah that one time I wasn't into it but the other two times meant to be seen. You've seen it three times. Two and a half.
That one time I wasn't into it, but the other two times...
Strangely, I walked out halfway the first time, and I came back
and I realized my mistake.
I love it, and I've seen it a bunch of times, and so
now it's still rolling out into some cities
in the theaters.
I don't know when this is going, but it's...
This will be out Friday.
It opens up a lot of places on Friday. Yeah, it opens, I don't know when this is going, but it's, yeah. This will be out Friday. Well, it opens up
a lot of places on Friday.
Okay, cool.
Cities that I don't know.
Is this the guy
that was mediator before?
He mediated?
Yeah, yeah,
we've worked together before.
This is the best.
I was that mediator,
remember?
We contacted
your dead relatives.
We drank with him
for like an hour beforehand.
Yeah,
this was two weeks ago.
Two weeks ago. They did an hour long. Yeah, this was two weeks ago. Two weeks ago.
They did an hour long Q&A
at the Sunset Five with Doug
and Rooker and now, just now you're
recognizing him? I've changed. I've been through a lot
in the last two weeks.
I really do look different. He was more
funny this time. Oh, okay.
That's a fair assessment.
I'm glad
this one was on tape and that one wasn't
because you never
were able to find
tape of it
no no no
I asked people
if they had
I asked people
if they had any
tape of it
but nobody did
it was the craziest
Q&A
it was me
interviewing these
three guys
and all of them
going yeah
we're not really
in it that much
and don't really
have anything
to say about it
all embarrassed
that they're even
there doing a Q&A
and either during
the Q&A
or at the bar I fucked up and I said to James,
I said something to you about the show Felicity because you were on Gilmore Girls.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you were very polite about it.
You didn't go, no, it was Gilmore Girls, you asshole.
You were like, yeah, Felicity, Gilmore Girls.
You're not really the demographic of either show.
I know, but I did, especially Gilmore Girls. I watched the shit out of that.
It's an entertaining show.
Thank you.
I didn't know he wasn't going to be there
until like an hour before we did it.
Yeah, you texted me and you said,
what time are you getting there?
And then I was like,
I'm in San Francisco, dude.
He wrote me a text saying,
hey, do you want to do this Q&A
before the show?
And I didn't think he would do that
without telling me that he also
wasn't going to be there. I said, you want to do
it with Rooker and Steve?
Yeah, and I assumed, and you.
He gets there, it's some guy who thinks he was on Felicity.
It's a bummer.
But yeah, no, I
got nervous. I don't know.
We're like,
yeah, we're like, Yeah, we're like,
what are we...
Who wants to ask us questions
about the show?
About the movie?
Like, I love it.
I'm like a...
I'm like,
I loved it.
I saw it.
I loved it.
You know?
Yeah, but you guys
are in it quite a bit.
Steve is not in it at all.
Steve is just...
He says cunt
and then he's out the door.
Yeah, Steve's there.
But he gets to say cunt,
which I didn't get.
You should have kicked the kid, though.
Is that, Ellen,
is that where you met Steve?
That's my nephew.
That's where Steve and I met
and I was really excited
because I'm a huge fan
of the Sarah Silverman program
and I remember James being like,
yeah, we have Steve Agee
to be in the comic book stuff,
which we shot
after the bulk of the movie
when we were back in LA
and I was so stoked
and Steve and I met
and like totally got along and had a great day shooting together, but then we were back in LA and I was so stoked and Steve and I met and like totally got along and
had a great day shooting together
but then we like stayed in touch and I went
back to Nova Scotia for a bit and then I came back
and then we were like besties
because he could put her in his pocket
she gets tired
of walking Steve helps her out
that's awesome
I love that you guys are friends
and I love that you're all here
because now we're going to have the craziest
Leonard Maltin game probably in the history of this show
because Michael Ricker is already looking at me like
what the fuck is happening now
here you go you got to pitch my thing. Here you go.
You got to pitch my thing.
You know my thing that just came out today?
Or it's going to come out on the 3rd.
The 3rd of May?
Yeah.
Let's talk about it.
Soon.
What's it called?
It's a game.
It's called Black Ops.
Call of Duty.
Call of Duty Black Ops.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah, that's it.
We did this game.
Yeah, yeah.
It's a new zombie game called Call of the Dead.
It's totally a big ripoff of The Walking Dead.
It is awesome, though.
It is fucking awesome.
And George Romero's in it.
Comes out on May 3rd.
Wait a second.
George Romero's in it.
It's not a ripoff of The Walking Dead.
If anything, I mean, like, I love The Walking Dead.
I think it's great.
I think Kirkman's great, I think.
But, I mean, come on.
It's not that kind of ripoff.
It's like they utilize The Walking Dead by hiring me, paying me nothing,
and then the poster.
Wait, do you see the poster?
It's just like The Walking Dead.
It's Rooker, Robert Englund, Danny Trejo, and Sarah Michelle Gellar,
who are all in together in this video game.
And you can play as all of those guys and go out and kick ass, right?
Yeah, you get to play as Rooker and Sarah.
Well, see what I'm doing?
I'm selling your movie instead of cutting it down like your video game.
No, it's not a bad ripoff.
It's just a good ripoff kind of thing.
Sure.
Well, yeah.
I love it.
Utilize what you got out there, you know?
You might as well just make it look like The Walking Dead a little bit.
It's a popular show.
All right.
Good logic.
All right.
So we're going to play this game now that's very complicated,
and hopefully you can follow along.
But the first thing all of my guests have to do is pick somebody in the audience
that you want to play for so that if you win,
they will win a bag full of fabulous prizes.
So that's why they all have name tags or signs.
And there's Jenna with her Juno.
She's sticking with it until somebody picks it.
She does that when you're not even here. Jenna with her Juno. She's sticking with it until somebody picks it. She does that when you're not even here.
Jenna looks like Juno.
Oh, Steve already picked somebody.
He picked Buzz, who made a nice little dinosaur name tag.
That's great.
So go ahead and pick who you want to play for.
Just go get their name tag.
Yeah, you're playing for somebody.
This is the part that shouldn't be that hard to grasp.
I'll play for Jenna.
Oh, Michael's going to play for Jenna.
All right, pass that up here.
There you go.
Who would you like to play for, Sean?
I'm going to pick this guy right here.
It says my name on it.
It says Sean on it, because your name is Sean.
Oh, okay.
His name is Sean.
That's an awesome sign, Sean.
Sean's been on the show before.
He's been a guest.
Roger, spoiler alert. Roger Ebert is a, Sean. Sean's been on the show before. He's been a guest. Roger, a spoiler alert.
Roger Ebert is a shithead, it says on the back.
That's because Roger Ebert, in his review for Super, gave away the ending of the movie
in his very first paragraph of his review.
A guy who his whole thing is don't ever give away the ending.
Totally, yeah.
And then he does it. Yeah.
So anyway, Justin, you've got the Crimson
Bolt thing over there. I've got to go with you.
Alright, there you go, Justin.
For being true to the...
And who would you like to play for, Ellen?
This is so stressful.
I just, you know,
the guilt issues are...
Well, for one thing, just be, just know that you're probably not going to win.
Of course.
So there's not that much pressure.
Tim, I'm sorry.
I'll prematurely apologize, but yeah, let's go for it.
There we go.
Give that to her.
Nice job.
All right, so she's playing for Tim.
Steve's playing for Buzz.
Michael's playing for Jenna.
Sean's playing for Sean, which makes it easy for me.
James is playing for...
Who are you playing for?
I'm playing for Justin.
On the back of his sheet, it says,
The Royal Wedding are full of shitheads.
I don't know what that... You're not supposed to give those away.
Those are for the end of the game.
Oh, we're not?
Plus, not everybody writes them. Wait, I played this game before.
I didn't have something on the back. What's that?
It's a new thing I tried last time.
It didn't work at all. And then this time, when I didn't even ask them to back. What's that? It's a new thing I tried last time. It didn't work at all.
And then this time, when I didn't even ask them to do it, people did it.
Because they're so conscientious.
But it'll be fine.
The other three players.
Sorry, I ruined it.
I already forgot what it said. It's okay.
Yeah.
People get high when they listen to this shit.
They'll totally forget.
The royal family is going to be funny again at the end.
Because royal family is a shithead again at the end if that because royal family is a
shithead it's just a funny sentence um and that wasn't cool of roger ebert to do that even though
i do think he usually is pretty i like the guy but that's fucked up all right what did he do
oh you rooker just said what did he do?
This is like, it's not an act.
He's really like that.
I'm like, we hang out a lot, and he's always like that.
It's very entertaining.
What did I email you or text you on the way over?
I said, where is this place again? You asked me if it was in Los Angeles.
Do I got to get on a plane?
After I gave you the zip code.
I'm not at the helipad.
Where am I going?
I said I didn't want to pull a rooker on him,
but I just needed to know that
I wanted to make sure I wasn't late or something.
No, you got here, buddy.
All right, we'll start off with Steve
over here on this end,
and we'll work our way down this way.
James has played the game, Ellen's played, Steve has played,
so we'll make our way through this.
I'll give you some categories.
We start with categories of kind of movie genres,
usually submitted by audience members,
or Rainn Wilson wrote this on Twitter, and I agree.
He thinks Gary Oldman and Tim Roth are the same person.
So the category is Gary Oldman and Tim Roth are the same person. So the category is
Gary Oldman slash Tim Roth. It's a movie with
one or both of them in it.
I don't know if they've ever done something together.
Maybe. I don't know.
Alright.
And then Tom Silvestro on Twitter
suggested in honor of Scream 4
that I do movies the fourth
part of a series.
So these are forkwools.
Meet the forkwools.
And then, at leftfromnowhere on Twitter,
suggested Parker Posey,
which is movies with either Mary Louise Parker
or Parker Posey.
Parker Posey. Parker Posey.
Which one of those categories
would you like to play, Steve Agee?
The Tim Roth, Gary Oldman.
Okay.
And would you like a Tim Roth
or Gary Oldman movie from 95, 97, or 98?
95.
All right.
Now here's what's going to happen, Mr. Rooker.
Oh, boy.
Everyone's going to bid On how many names
Reading from the bottom
Of the cast list
Up
On this
Leonard Maltin movie review app
Last build
To top build
Up to first
How many names you think
You can get it in
I'll give you some clues
Leonard Maltin
Do I have to answer something?
You will in a second
Yeah you'll be next after Steve
So get ready
Or you could pass
poor Jenna I'm sorry that I'm suggesting he just drop out um okay Leonard Maltin in his review
calls this movie a bomb he did not care for it he says it's hokey. And he also says that erotic love scenes are especially embarrassing.
In soft focus with phallic candles.
Oh, Leonard.
And there are 12 names.
How many names do you think you can get it in?
Steve Agee?
I'll say six.
All right, so now, Michael, you either can bid less names,
like you can guess it in less names, like five or four,
or you can say to Steve, name that movie,
if you don't think you can get it with less names.
Or pass.
Is he allowed to pass?
I like pass, too, yeah.
That'll be a first.
Give him a microphone.
Can't Sean win every time because he can just make Rooker have to name it
and then he gets a point?
Well, now that you pointed the strategy out to him, yes, he could.
If you'd have just been a little quiet about it, maybe you would have.
He's my little brother.
I love him.
But also, it'll move around the table.
It won't stay right there.
But you're right.
The first point is going to be Sean's.
Yeah.
I'm also really horrible at this game, though.
Rooker might actually win this.
Yeah, you could say name that movie to Steve, and he might not be able to get it.
Or you can try and...
And you'll get a point.
I can see him score a movie.
Yeah, yeah, say name that movie.
Or you can try and name it in five names.
I'd rather see you actually talk or try to talk and stuff like that.
Okay.
So say name that movie.
Name the fucking movie.
All right.
I'm glad he doesn't have a mic
with that filthy mouth.
Okay.
You get six names.
It's a bomb.
Hokey.
Phallic candles.
Erotic love scenes
are especially embarrassing,
and your six names are, and nobody else guessed, this is just on Steve,
Eric Schweig, Diane Salinger, Amy Wright, George Aguilar, Dana Ivey,
and Roy Dotrice.
What the fuck?
Or Dotrice.
Yeah, it doesn't really get into the media names.
Or Datris.
Yeah, it doesn't really get into the media names.
But it's a bomb, and it's got either Oldman or Roth in it.
And it's hokey.
And it's a 95.
It's a 95.
Any guess?
Or does a point go to Rooker?
Ugh. My bomb guess.
Yeah, guess something.
A bomb that had Gary Oldman in it.
Or Tim Roth.
I was in one with Tim.
What were you in with Tim?
A bomb.
You don't remember what it's called?
Because it was shot over two weeks ago?
What was it called?
Are you asking me?
Him.
Rucker is asking me what movie he was in with Tim Roth.
You know, it's Tim Roth and...
You're buying Steve a lot of time here.
Go ahead and guess something, Steve.
Ah, shit, I don't know.
Sid and Nancy.
One of the greatest bombs of all time.
Does anybody think they know it?
Oh, that's a good guess.
Crucible.
Is Lena Olen in it?
What is the name?
Edward Hardwick, Robert Prosky, Joan Plowright, Robert Duvall, Gary Oldman, Demi Moore.
Scarlet Letter.
Somebody said The Crucible.
I'm like, same thing.
I have a fun fact.
Ellen has a fun fact.
They shot that in Nova Scotia, where I'm from.
Really?
Yeah.
That's pretty fun, right?
That's a fun fact.
It's fun that you grew up in a place that could look like.
Were you born when that was filmed in 1990?
Did they also film the village there?
All right. So Scarlet Letter.
You've been, like, it was in Shelburne,
like, right next to Lockport.
Oh, yeah.
Remember, we went to that old townie area,
remember, in Shelburne?
That's where they shot Scarlet Letter, dude.
That's where they shot Scarlet Letter.
Holy shit.
Yeah.
Why didn't you say that when you were on the tour?
I should have guessed that.
All right, point to Michael Rooker.
Yo!
So now Sean
gets to pick. So you're in the game still.
It's going to work out okay.
Would you like punctuated
titles? That's movies where there's a punctuation
of some sort in the title of the movie.
Time Magazine picked the best sound the title of the movie. Time Magazine
picked the best soundtracks of all time.
So movies that have one of the best
soundtracks according to Time Magazine.
Or
movies that feature
Michael Rooker.
Because I thought even he might not be
particularly...
He might not have an advantage in this category.
What do you mean by featuring?
You're in it.
Okay.
To win it.
Did I get paid?
I'm going to go with punctuated titles.
All right, fair enough.
I wouldn't be caught dead at a Michael Rooker movie.
You would die soon, actually.
Would you like a punctuated movie title
from 1966, 1982, or 2009?
82.
I like how...
You're practically defiant
the way you said that.
I'm trying to concentrate.
Okay, sorry.
Four stars,
according to Leonard Maltin.
I don't know if anyone could argue with that.
He says about it, he calls it warm,
and he also says that it's, it has a remarkable performance in it,
but performance is in quotes for some reason.
It's warm, and it has a remarkable
performance.
And there are
eight names.
How many names do you think you can get it in?
Sean Gunn.
Former star
of Gilmore Girls.
Current star
of Super.
Four names.
We go to your bro, James Gunn.
Name it.
All right.
Do you want the clues again?
Sure.
Four stars.
Four stars.
Warm.
1982.
It's warm and has a performance in it.
That's remarkable.
Okay.
And I'm gonna, I'm,
my money's on James.
No, it's
on Sean, actually. Really? Yeah.
Really? Yeah. Tom
Howell, but C. Thomas
is in parentheses, like he later calls himself
T. C.
Thomas Howell. C. Thomas Howell.
C. Thomas Howell.
Sean Fry, Casey Martell, and Drew Barrymore.
E.T.
That's correct.
Damn it.
Damn it.
All right.
Rooker and S-Gun have points.
We'll start with Ellen there on the end to pick the next category.
Oh, it's fine.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
You can do it.
Someone named At-Fiss-Ackerley.
Is he here tonight?
Am I pronouncing that right every time?
Fisackerly?
He suggested since Water for Elephants Is out, movies that either have
Water or Elephants
And someone named
At the Last Known God on Twitter
Suggested Palm d'Or winners At Cannes Or Cannes god on Twitter suggested palm to ore winners
at Cannes or Cannes
depending on how you like to go with that.
And then again
I have to throw it into the mix again.
The films of Michael Rooker.
Which one do you like? Water, Elephants,
Palm to Ore Winners, or
Michael Rooker?
It will be funny if you do it but i might as well it'll be an interesting brain teaser like tom arnold didn't recognize one of his own movies right so i've been waiting for that to happen
again i will lose i'm sorry michael i would lose like immediately you know well you're just gonna
bid and it's just gonna move down anyway probably, probably. All right, fine, fine. You know what I mean? You could bid all the names.
Pick one, you're going to win.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't, I mean, there are, I, the, how, the, I am the worst.
I am the worst.
Why don't I just go for Palme d'Or?
Okay.
Nerd.
Would you like the
Palme d'Or winner from
1989,
1991,
or 2002?
2002.
Okay.
Most recent.
Yeah, you're young.
Three and a half stars from Leonard Maltin, even though it won the Palme d'Or. 2002. Okay. Most recent. Yeah, you're young.
Three and a half stars from Leonard Maltin,
even though it won the Palme d'Or.
I think it's good.
Leonard calls it emotionally draining.
Emotionally draining. And he also says the lead actor is splendid in a difficult and essentially passive role.
Difficult and passive, but splendid.
And emotionally draining.
Three and a half stars from Leonard.
The category is Winners of Palm Door.
And the year is 2002.
And there are nine names.
So you should start with a nine-name bid.
So if Steve Agee says name that movie, I'd be pretty confident.
Why would you fucking say that?
Well, because she's so worried about...
I'm worried about Tim, you about Yeah I'm worried about Tim
You guys
I'm worried about Tim
She's looking out for Tim
How about
Let me
I'll just
I'm gonna try
I'm gonna try for six
I'll try for six
Oh I like it
Name that
Everything you said
In that description
Went right over me
So name that movie
Alright Here I go Alright here's your six names
oh god is this all gonna be foreign um no i think i can pronounce them we're foreign to you you're
from canada she's from where they filmed The Village.
Roger Ebert gave that one away, too.
He's like, the ending is stupid.
Okay, Ruth Platt, Jessica Kate Meyer,
Julia Rayner, Ed Stoppard,
Amelia Fox, and Maureen Lipman.
Who are these people? I know.
They're of no help at all.
It would really take nine names, I think,
for someone to get this.
Unless you can figure it out from 2002,
emotionally draining,
and the lead performance is splendid,
playing a difficult and essentially passive role.
I'll
guess. Guess something. Elephant.
That's in that other category.
But that is a good guess because elephant did win
the Palme d'Or. Passive, emotionally draining
and won the Palme d'Or. People, I think it was a pretty
educated answer.
Super educated.
But I know 2002 is a little premature.
But the name at the very top
that gives it away is Adrian Brody.
Oh, the pianist.
The pianist, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, so Steve Agee got the point on that one.
God bless you.
Yeah.
This is an exciting match.
Let's start with Rooker.
Name that movie.
Let's tell everybody what we're playing for.
That's not fair.
We're playing for several amazing audio items from the people at Griffin Audio.
Some earbuds and a thing
that amplifies your iPhone
like in a room.
Like if you're in a hotel room and you want to
amplify your iPhone.
A talk hands-free
thing for your car
or at home if you like to talk hands-free at home
for no reason.
Pretend you're a mogul.
And then the good people at Woot
gave me this shirt and and I got every single person on the panel to sign it
even though the shirt doesn't have anything to do a super it's still kind
of a cool looking shirt that they all sign and I brought my my CD as I always
do professional humor idiot and I also of course have a Woot Monkey. There you go. Once you get
up start screaming they never stop. It's a really annoying toy. All right and I
love the people at Woot for giving me a lifetime supply. I might just go nuts one night and just pull the cord on all of them.
Just roll around
in them.
They sent a box like
this big, full of the things.
They're like, if you need more, let us know.
I'm like, you sent me enough for...
Okay, anyway.
They're very nice to people at Woot.
Every day on Woot, there's a new item you can buy.
It's cool.
All right.
I can't believe how funny you are now.
Dude, when I was mediating at the Sunset Five,
I was all right.
I didn't do too bad.
I've smiled at least three, four times.
I think you were drunker that night
than you are now. Must be. If I had to guess. Were you were i think you were drunker that night than you are now
must be if i had to guess were you drunk i wasn't drunk no i was a little
people remember that year we did that we we co-presented at the saturn awards and everybody
was like oh my god rooker was so drunk we're so drunk and i'm like he didn't have a thing to drink
all night that's just his personality I know I know all right you
have a drunk personality he's a drunk that plays excellent sober people
because you're never really drunk in film are you yeah you're always very
sober and very racist yeah which is so bring in and of itself there's not a lot
of people that know how to do that kind of stuff these days.
Yeah, and who also aren't afraid to do that kind of stuff these days.
You went into the wrong person who doesn't understand how movies work.
You know, like period violence.
Not modern violence.
Period violence.
It's a little more personal, you know?
I came up with a name for that thing where the girl slaps you with her hair.
Mississippi Burning.
Oh, shit, yes.
All right.
Let's go ahead and finish the game.
Sean Gunn's going to win.
Congratulations to Sean Sacame in the audience.
Would you like Michael Rooker movies?
Or Michael Rooker movies?
Or Michael Rooker movies?
Which one?
So, what are the choices again?
Would you like one from 88, 89, or 93?
Which year is the most clear to you and your brain?
These are when they were released, by the way.
Do you like 88, 89, or 93?
Wow.
It don't matter.
They say as you get older,
your memory from long ago starts coming back.
So you want the oldest one? I'll go with 89.
Okay, 89.
All right.
Leonard gave this movie that you're in, he gave this movie three and a half stars.
That's good, right?
Yeah, yeah.
You're not mentioned in the review, but I'm sure you're a large part of the good rating.
Here's what he says about it.
He says that it's tough.
He says it's smart.
He says it's sexy.
Sexy.
Yeah.
And he didn't mention me.
I think that's...
He did.
That's the subtext.
I think I know this movie.
You do?
I think so.
All right, cool.
What were the three again?
Smart, sexy, tough.
Tough, sexy, and smart. And it's a movie you're in. All right, cool. What were the three again? Smart, sexy, tough. Tough, sexy, and smart.
And it's a movie you're in.
I'm in it.
That you made around 1989.
Yeah.
And Leonard gives it three and a half stars.
And there are, they list, 12 names.
Yeah, go ahead.
Now you have to bid a number of names
That you think you need to hear to get it
How many out of 12?
Do you do it in like 6?
You gotta recognize the names, right?
You worked with these
One of the 12 is you
No way
Yeah, okay
How about
I don't want to put words in your mouth
How many names?
How many names? How many I don't want to put words in your mouth. How many names?
How many names?
How many names do you want to say?
You can go anywhere from 12 all the way down to zero if you think you know it.
Some people that were in a movie
might know which one they were in
in a particular year.
Let's see.
How about...
Seven?
Seven? Seven? You want to stick with seven?
Seven.
We got to get this over with.
Name any movie.
Don't get it.
All right, here's your seven names.
No, no, no.
Oh, you're not going to let him name it. Yeah, no. Wait, wait, wait. I'm going to...
Oh, you're not going to let him name it?
Yeah, no, no.
Let him go.
I want him to name that movie.
No, no, no.
Really?
Okay.
Wait, the brothers need to confer for a second.
Because I don't know it and you do.
It's strategy.
Go ahead.
He may know it, but...
Yep, but he's going to win.
Oh, yeah, you're right.
You should...
Yeah, yeah.
What?
All right, here's your seven names.
John Spencer, Jacqueline Brooks, Samuel L. Jackson, Patricia Berry, Barbara Baxley, Christine Estabrook, and Richard Jenkins.
Now, in his defense, all of those people could have been in all of his movies.
They're all highly qualified.
But Samuel Jackson is fairly lowly billed, considering his stature.
So what do you think you and Sam Jackson were up to around 1989?
I don't know if I did any scenes with him.
You might not have.
You might have been in a scene with Richard Jenkins.
How do you know if he's not in this?
You don't even know what the movie is.
I don't remember him.
Do you know what the movie is?
No.
Where am I in the movie?
Fourth.
Fourth?
Yeah.
Oh, my God is right.
How often does that happen?
Right.
Are you kidding me?
Henry, you're number one.
This one, you're number four.
And everything else, you're probably, well, not that bad, but you know what I mean.
Four.
This one is a big part for you.
Is there any other hints?
There's only three other people in it that were bigger in the movie.
No other hints?
No other hints.
I keep saying things.
I keep giving hints and you're asking for more hints.
Come on, name it.
This is awesome though.
You really don't know what the movie is?
That's pressure, man.
God.
You're being such a director.
This is the toughest game show ever.
Come on, name it.
Nobody knows anything about their own work
Wow
Just guess a movie you did
Yeah, what's a movie you did?
In the late 80s
This is so great
It's the most suspenseful edition of this game ever
What about if you get a point
If you can name any movie you did between 85 and 90?
Well, then he'll win because it's first to two, and he's already got a point.
That's right.
So it's between either Sean's going to win or Michael's going to win.
But I would love to hear him pull out some sort of movie.
Okay, here we go.
Where's Buzz?
A movie.
Wait a second.
89.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sam Jackson's in it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Who are the other names
again? Can I hear them again?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can hear them.
John Spencer, dead.
Jacqueline Brooks,
not sure.
Samuel L. Jackson,
big star. Patricia
Berry, I don't know who that is. Barbara Baxley, I don't know
who that is. Christine Estabrook, I see that
name from time to time, but I'm not sure exactly who that is.
I think she might have played a neighbor on Desperate Housewives.
Like, that's going to help you.
And Richard Jenkins, Oscar nominated for The Visitor,
a great Tom McCarthy movie.
Nothing?
Nothing?
I hope other people know who it is.
Do you know where I did it?
Where's Justin at?
Where's Justin?
Oh, here.
Could you write down who I should call a shithead at the end?
Oh, yeah, that's right.
Any guess, Michael?
Michael?
It's an easy movie for you.
It is?
Yes.
Which, I mean...
Why are you helping him so much?
Where's Tim at? Tim, can you come over here? I know, and so does the guy. Yeah, I mean... Why are you helping him so much? Where's Tim at?
Tim, can you come over here?
I know, and so does the guy.
Okay, wait.
Okay, hold on.
I'm going to get it.
I'm going to get it.
People are walking out now, so...
I have to hurry up.
Come here, Tim.
I know this one, too.
I think I know this one.
Yeah, I do.
How come everybody knows it but me?
What the hell?
We just came up with the title of your autobiography.
Thanks, Tim.
Alright, just say it as soon as you know it.
Sean wins, but just say it as soon as you know it. Sean wins, but just say it as soon as you know it.
Because you're the next name, Michael Rooker.
William Hickey is before you, then Michael Rooker,
then John Goodman.
Yeah.
Ellen Barkin.
Oh, yeah, okay.
And Al Pacino.
What's that called?
Yeah, that's Sea of Love.
Yes!
Rooker!
That was very exciting.
It's like one of the biggest movies you've ever been in.
Get his new... What's your video game called?
I remember the movie now.
Yeah, yeah.
Call of the Dead.
Call of the Dead, May 3rd.
See Super wherever it's playing.
VOD in a hotel room.
See Ellen's documentary that she narrates.
I'm available for parties.
But that's cheating. Who won? Sean is available.
He'll come and be like, he's like, I'm a
Sean's brother. Yeah, Sean won for
Sean in the audience, so I'll give Sean his
stuff. Sean, congratulations,
man. He's a
ringer.
Oh, wait. Give me your thing a second, Sean. Oh, wait. He's a ringer. Oh, wait.
Give me your thing a second, Sean.
Oh, wait.
I'm going to take a picture of all the name tags
because people are always curious
what the winning name tags are.
Is there anything else you guys need to plug?
Anything else going on that we should check out or do?
Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What?
You're a priority, not an option.
I don't know what that means, but I'm intrigued.
You're blocking Rooker.
All right.
Thank you very much.
Let's have a round of applause for everybody.
James Gunn, Sean Gunn, Ellen Page, Steve Agee.
And as Steve said today when he texted me
that he was coming,
fucking Rooker was the whole text I got.
