Because it's time to meet everybody individually and alphabetically by first name.
What?
So, hello, Bree Pruitt. How are you you doing i'm excellent doug medson good to see
you talk to you again must be exciting for someone with the last name that begins with p
to finally get mentioned first because of your first name beginning with b it's been a struggle
and also my last name beginning with, you know when they break the alphabet
into two lines like at the
DMV? Oh, yeah. It's really
tough to remember what side of the alphabet
I'm on. I can't remember
right now. Gun to my head,
I couldn't tell you. I think you're on
the back half if I had to guess.
Well, we'll never know. And that's okay.
Mysteries.
I think middle is like around L.
You're kind of like in the Midwest of the alphabet.
Yeah.
I don't know Kansas.
Yeah.
But I think we met when you did the show at Helium in Portland.
Yeah, we met in Helium in Portland.
I got to do some of the Brea shows and san diego which was

always bro all right well thank you for being here and for that uh recap of our uh of all of
our douglas movies time together together another uh frequent guest of the show
and also a record breaker in a couple of ways emma arnold is here hey emma in like
number of losses what is my record you are one of you're one of three guests in the history of the show who appeared with their own children.
True.
And those others, the other two times it happened, it was just one.
And so you're the only person in the history show to bring three kids on the show at once.
That is true.
And also, I think you should know that they're like not kids anymore.
Isn't that wild?
I know, right? You just had an 18-year-old 18 year old. Yeah, he just turned 18. My middle so I have a 20 year old and
18 year old and 15 year old, which is so wild. Are they still all they were all fairly passionate
about motion pictures. So they all still love movies. Oh, yeah, absolutely. They just actually
went and saw the new D&D movie last night. And I
was not able to go with them. But they came home. They they greatly enjoyed it. But yeah, they watch
movies all the time. I only hear good things about that movie. So that's another good sign.
Yeah, they loved it. They thought it was very fun and very sweet. And they dnd guys too so they they they likes it all around yeah they know they're the ones you really have to please with a dnd movie um also joining us
uh it's reena calm hi good to be here i like to say your name in an excited manner
yeah calm it's fun to scream calm.
Everybody calm down.
Stay calm.
We met in Chicago, I believe.
Yeah.
Or was it Rosemont?
It was Rosemont.
Yeah, it was definitely Rosemont.
And we've been in Chicago together as well but
all of our meetups have been in that region I'm sorry you won't be in the uh Chicagoland area
next week when I'm there doing uh my annual Zany's uh shows that I do around Cinco de Mayo. Yeah. I mean, it's one of my favorite, uh, parking
structures to smoke weed in, uh, in the country. That's always a good time. Pretty cool, chill
vibes there. Yeah. Um, no, there's, uh, you know, nothing, nothing more soothing than when a place
is called a bank park. Yeah. There's like a honky tonk and an ice skating rink it's
just a lot happening yeah no ice skating this i think by may they take down the ice rink and
just put out that astroturf but sure regardless i'll be there uh on may 5th and may 6th when
may 5th i'm doing a happy hour stand-up show at Zany's and
Rosemont and then May 6th
I'm doing an afternoon
420 Douglas Movies taping
and I've just been going
there every year that particular weekend
and for
no particular reason.
It's like
I don't know. They know
420 is like nearby and it's like whatever mexican 420 i don't
know but it's something i don't know it's like close enough well there's that big mexican
restaurant there that chain restaurant uh adobe gilas yes and um you know which is a reference to
a 50s TV show.
So I don't think anybody going there even understands where the name came from.
But it's it's just this big Mexican restaurant.
And so it's just it's just fun to just, you know, go over there after my show, like basically have, you know, after party ready to go.
Yeah. After I'm doing, you know, my thing in the in the parking structure,
like you mentioned, I'm not like in Chicago at all, really anymore, except for when I'm
passing through like anywhere, but I haven't yet actually landed anywhere else. So that's still
part of my like, comedy identity, I would say, you know, you have to have your place next to
your name. And so I'm still Chicago, but it's not not it's a lie at this point right now I should ask you like instead of saying
you're going to be in Chicago I should just go ahead and ask you any random city are you going
to be there yeah because you may be there close by I'm going to be in Boise with Emma in just two
weeks so yeah just two weeks anything could happen doing a couple shows yeah that'll
be fun what's just go ahead and spill that plug right now what's the deets on that uh friday
friday the 12th she's doing my show at push and pour and then saturday she's doing a secret show
i can't say which one we we will i will don't tell you not don't I can't I can't disclose anything more than that don't tell
this is part of that the festival no uh-uh no these are just a couple shows okay okay this is
just a hobo passing through yeah all right but you still are you still involved with that festival
there I'm not uh uh 208 we haven't done since, you know, the beginning of COVID.
We just kind of just let it die.
And yeah, I haven't been a part of comedy for it in a few years either.
All right.
Well, that's fair.
I was running them both with my ex-boyfriend.
And I think we were both like at the beginning of COVID, like, we don't have to do this forever, right?
We could retire this.
So yeah, that's what we
did i think we're also still all in the era of figuring out like where we're landing post all
of the covid like rearrangements of our psyches and our venues you know yeah like what's happening
now yeah yeah it's uh it's different um every episode of the show lately, I like to ask all my guests to recommend a movie, but I give them sort of a category or a niche or something in which as a framework.
And I was thinking that this week it would be fun to ask about, since they're going to announce the Tony Award nominees next Tuesday.
So I was thinking about musicals and musical theater.
So could each of you recommend, you know, it could be an obscure one, could be just a real damn obvious one. But just tell me a musical that you enjoy and would recommend.
Let's start with Brie.
OK, I love the music.
I love musicals.
The one that I think may be kind of off the beaten path that maybe people would enjoy now.
Tommy, the the who from the 70s.
You got so many Jack Nicholson, freaking, you know, Tina Turner, you know, and what's her name, Doug?
Ann Margaret being such a babe.
So that's a fun one.
And it's a it's a rock opera.
So there's no dialogue.
That's a good one to put in the background of a party and just let it
roll.
Let the vibes overtake you.
What a great day for you to watch the Tommy musical.
Yeah.
It's a lot of great music.
It was,
they made it into a stage musical at,
you know,
it was a movie first and they made it in a stage musical eventually.
And then now that is going to be uh revived they're going to do a new version of that right um which
i enjoyed but it's you know it's i don't know it's kind of it's the plot after a certain point
doesn't really matter it's more just like just the you you know, the music and the drama.
The movie is really wild, though.
I mean, it's really got some disturbing and triggering stuff in there, I think.
That's right. I forgot about that.
I don't know how it's going to play in 2023.
I remember like not getting that movie.
I saw it when I was so young and I just like didn't even do any drugs at the time i mean like i i just i wanted to get it you know i wanted to be cool to stuff like that i liked all the trippy music that came out but i never tripped so i didn't
really know who i was i guess but i was like yeah i get it the who for sure yeah yeah i think it
would be different now.
I think the Pinball Wizard sequence and song have really stood the test of time.
You know, that's super fun. But, you know, the premise of this deaf, dumb and blind kid, you know, and then he gets
shuffled around between relatives and, you know, like one of his uncles is pretty terrible uh you know and sings this goofy song
fiddle about you know oh my god i forgot about that oh my god oh yeah it's super rough to watch
now it was always uncomfortable but now it's the ice yeah there's i mean there's so many of those
like kubrick movies and things
like that that are like wow there's a lot more rapes in this than i thought so yeah
big trigger warning for sure and like take care of yourself um but you know fun psychedelic english
post-war it's fast-paced and it treats it in a light-hearted way, I guess. So, you know. But also, like you said, like Tina Turner doing the acid queen is fantastic.
Somebody really should.
I mean, I'm not at all for censorship of movies.
And old movies are going to have garbage stuff in them.
But it would be neat to have, like, a feature on a streaming where, you know, old movies where it just says, hey, you might want to skip this part.
Right.
Maybe the reboot will be.
Skip if you're offended by stuff.
It's like mystery science theater,
but only for like trigger warnings.
Skip the next point for a second.
A little robot could just pop up and say,
hey, do you not appreciate watching people vomit?
Then this is a good scene to skip.
I would love that.
I would love that.
Are we both in the emetophobe realm there, Reena?
Yeah, me too.
Yeah, you can't unsee some stuff, you know?
And that can make you actually sick.
And I don't know if you guys have noticed this.
I feel like on-screen vom has had a renaissance lately,
and I've had enough.
It's in every movie and TV show.
I complain about it on this show all the time.
There's people, because it's, you know, it shows,
it's a traumatic, like, you know,
it's a dramatic thing that's happening,
and it can either be comedic or disgusting,
and sometimes both, but it's like
it's just i don't know why they go to it so often i'm i'm grateful when somebody just runs off camera
when they're gonna yeah like to just show somebody much funnier vomit out of their mouth yeah yeah
it can i mean it's still it's not that funny anymore anyway because it's just overdone
yeah i can the implication of vomit fine but like nobody
the knives out storyline where that was her whole character yeah that was her whole personality
i feel like uh the exorcist is like the only one where you're like okay that was a creative choice
you know like yeah i feel like triangle of sadness like the that was one of the other sure i was like the vomit is really a big piece of this i need the vomit to really
watch these people be truly miserable but in general yeah i'm like no no implied violent
vomit is enough for me it's enough but those people were miserable but then you still had
to see the people that had to clean up what they were doing. You know what I mean? Like that they had to go through their own misery
probably every time that stupid ship set sail.
But yeah, that movie, you know,
obviously is not for a metaphobes at all,
but you know, I guess you could say
skip this 17 minute sequence.
I think like it's not just vomit either for me.
I've kind of feel,
I'm trying to think there's really not a single body fluid that I'm like,
yeah, show me what that's like. You know what I mean?
Like, it's just, I don't need, I mean, tears maybe.
So you haven't seen Babylon?
I haven't. No.
Okay. Cause that is a, that is a fluid festival.
Yeah. I'll probably not catch that one. You know? Yeah.
Elephant poop is the first of it. It doesn't end there.
Fluid festival. Put that on the poster.
Fluid festival.
Hey, so Emma, what do you think?
You got a musical that you love?
Well, mine's not in any way like a deep cut
my favorite musical is the rocky horror picture show oh nice and i love it so much and actually
i just recently watched it uh with one of my kids and i hadn't seen it like in a few years
and i was kind of like oh i wonder if he'll you know a lot of times with my uh son of this
generation they'll be like on their phones when they were watching a movie.
And I'll be like, get off your phone, you know.
And so I was kind of interested.
But if it's a good movie, they won't do that.
But if it's like kind of a so-so movie, they'll like get on their phone.
So I was sort of interested to see if he like really didn't understand it or relate to it.
But actually, it's so good.
And it's so fun.
And he watched the whole thing and just like loved it and thought it was very funny.
And we were just talking about how like Tim Curry, just like an irreplaceable person,
you know, like just so many movies I can think of where anybody else in that role, like Muppet
Christmas, you know, like nothing.
There's no one else you can put in that role.
It's got to be him.
And so or not
muppet christmas sorry that's michael cain i'm thinking of muppet treasure island obviously
yeah yeah or like clue or clue yeah yeah i mean he's always amazing but dr frankenfurter yeah
that elevator scene i remember i saw that movie when i was like 13 you know when i was like so
sheltered and i was at a friend's house and they were like have you ever seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show and I just I think I will always
remember the feeling I had when like that elevator scene when he's like shuts it and he goes back up
and uh and he's just like the music and everything comes yeah just the whole thing and so yeah that's
my favorite one of all time and also I really often even though I hadn't seen the movie in a
few years I throw the soundtrack on for fairly often.
Like just if I'm kind of in a down mood,
I'll listen to the soundtrack.
Always a pick me up.
Just great music.
Everybody's really fun in it.
Susan Sarandon,
such a babe meatloaf strange,
you know,
suddenly there's meatloaf,
which is always,
it catches me by surprise every time.
Yeah.
And the sexual liaisons sequences filmed in such a fun way.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Super fun.
So hilarious.
Like you can tell they got that like from the stage version.
Cause that'd be a fun way to do it on stage too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Behind, you know, just the silhouettes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I remember feeling like that movie was so horny, but I don't know if it is by 2023 standards. Was was your son scandalized?
No, I mean, but my kids are not super scandalized. Like I know a lot of Gen Z kids have like the rep for being sort of prude about that stuff. But my my kids definitely aren't. But it is still definitely a very horny movie like you're definitely like yeah this is
this is uh tits out you know like it's it's Susan Sarandon singing touch a touch me is still one of
the sexiest things that's ever happened in human existence like that's the yeah that's the horniest
but like sexy horny song of all time like yeah it's attractive it's not like um sleazy you know and just like a man
who can't speak and it's just kind of there for yeah yeah yeah yeah and they're like they're like
aliens here to take over the world uh you know take over the earth but get distracted by being
so horny yeah yeah honestly i think like sex was such a like mystifying and like like interesting but
confusing topic when I first saw that movie that like I I think like I just didn't even understand
what the plot even was tied to in any way I just knew their car broke down and then like there's
sex honestly arena that's stilettos that's so true because i remember like as a kid like our teenager watching it and
just being like i have no idea what's happening here now they're in a pool you know like yeah
i didn't i didn't get it also i will say i have a great appreciation for it now but like when i
was first watching that movie like over and over again because i worked at hollywood video and that
was one of the movies we could play after 10 or something like that, because it was, I think it's like PG-13 or something.
It's like technically not R-rated, but it's not a daytime family friendly. Anyway, we played that
all the time. And I never really was into the meatloaf scene, because it just seemed so
extraneous. And like, I didn't get how, because I wasn't following the plot at all I'm just like
who's this guy I'm not horny for that like but now he's got that pretty awful stitch on his head and
then uh yeah what happens to him is really gross yeah I don't think also I've ever been horny for
somebody named meatloaf I'm just like oh yeah I gotta i gotta say i i think it in in the in the in the new era
of like female gays i think everybody's horny for meatloaf in the scene actually like the motorcycle
the like he he loves his girl you know oh yeah like yeah i can i get it now you know i think
maybe also my now that i'm a middle-aged lady i'm'm a meatloaf guy. You know, but like as a teenager, I was like, who is this terrifying old man?
Also out of respect for his passing, I'll say like, yeah, I love that scene now.
Yeah.
But yeah, no, that's sad.
But yeah, I mean.
He's got a catchy song.
His song is fun.
Oh yeah, Hoppa Judy.
The movie, you know, until they're lounging around the pool, the movie really moves along.
Like all of the songs are moves along. Like, yeah.
And all of the songs are so good.
What's the high pitched one with the top hat?
What's her name?
I can't remember.
Columbia.
Columbia.
Columbia.
Columbia.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I played Magenta in a production on stage when I was 20 years old.
And I'll tell you what, the cast embodied the sexual energy of the
movie also everybody was reenacting that pool scene every closing night of the cast party
oh the dream Brie I'm so jealous I always wanted to be in a production of Rocky Horror Picture Show
uh but but that's amazing what a star it's just a pile of stinky fishnets and
grease paint smeared corsets um it's yeah it's it's it's a nasty business but somebody had to
do it in college I just think it's funny though that like the idea of like now with movies like
everybody and like you watch movies with a phone in your hand, but like, I never went to see Rocky Horror Picture Show live.
Oh yeah.
And now it's illegal.
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Oh yeah.
Well, some states.
Yeah.
Okay.
I did know that unfortunately, but like they had like the whole, like it was an event to go see Rocky Horror Live.
Like you would throw toast or like the idea of having a phone in your hand like no we're throwing toast at the stage
like people bringing bags of bread uh to see the ducks totally yeah yeah it was uh i've been to
lots i've seen it a bunch of times with an audience and uh you know that that very first time
is so unforgettable because it was you know
it wasn't that thing that had been happening for years and years the first time i went you know and
yeah it's still been going for long enough that everyone there knew what to say and i didn't
and so it's so weird that they have shit to shout out every moment like it's there's no quiet time
yeah during some of the screenings anyway uh reena you've had lots
of time to think what uh what's your what's your favorite musical or musical you'd like to
remind people of i think like in recent years the one that i've both enjoyed watching more than once
and also really enjoyed the music from outside of viewing
is The Greatest Show. I know that it's not as much of a, it's more of a modern classic, I guess.
I don't know. Hugh Jackman's one of the most talented humans to ever walk the face of the
earth, probably. And I just didn't even know he could sing until I saw that.
And the choreography, like, I don't know,
Zac Efron's had some problems, but they do some pretty banging choreography in that one.
And there's-
Yeah, there's a flying around on the ropes with Zendaya
and the scene where, the scene that,
I love that it's a Disney movie
and there's a whole sequence glorifying doing shots because they do they keep hanging the glasses on the on the counter and keep
doing shots and uh um yeah it's uh the bearded lady knocks it out of the park every time she
sings like it's very uh it's a very entertaining movie like if you go back and read about the
actual guy he's playing it's weird that h Hugh Jackman was so obsessed with making that dude into a hero
because apparently he was horrible.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Those people were slaves, basically, that worked in his circus.
They weren't there because he was giving outsiders a break.
Sure, sure.
He was taking advantage of their freakishness, you know?
Yeah. I mean mean i feel like
you kind of get that vibe in the middle of the movie anyway you do yeah no they do show kind of
the downside to him like him falling in love with the lady singer that he uh was super into promoting
yeah there's definitely a downside to it but they really make him out to be
quite the hero throughout they do and uh he
was pretty it was pretty nasty but but you don't have to go back and read about you don't have to
listen to me you can just enjoy the movie because it doesn't matter nothing's gonna change uh about
that his story it's over his talent in portraying like yeah i'm not knowing enough about the actual man it's based on like it
was not part of my love for that movie at all like it's obviously like the actual well i don't want
to say the circus slaves uh that he kept those are the people that you know like the bearded lady
like you said every time she busts out in that song, I feel it in my whole body.
Such a great cast.
Yeah.
It's good.
It's good.
I do endorse it and enjoy it, but I have to be a jerk about it.
Let's be a circus truther here.
Yeah.
Let's be a circus truther here. Yeah, let's be honest.
It's another one of those pop-up movies where we need
just a little bit of...
Yeah, a little context.
Review.
Yeah, totally.
Don't get me started about how the people
of Mamma Mia is based on how evil they are.
They are so rich
they own an island in Greece
and live there.
Those jerks.
Eat the rich.
I don't think they're based on anybody, though.
I think everybody's made up in Mamma Mia.
Eat the Mamma Mia.
Have you guys seen Hugh Jackman open the 2009 Academy Awards?
It was floating around.
He does this big musical number, and I guess Dan Harmon and Ben
Schwartz wrote it. Oh wow. And it's wacky and the whole deal was the Academy Awards didn't have a
lot of money so the joke is that it's a very low budget like under rehearsed thing but it was a
very low budget and under rehearsed thing and it's only through the talent and sweat and
blood of hugh jackman does it work because it's about it's about his enthusiasm for this lame
thing and how he runs around oh yeah yeah yeah he did he also co-hosted with uh ann hathaway
one year a lot of people thought that was too musical theater-y for the Oscars,
but I love that one too.
I mean,
whenever he shows up at the Tonys, it's great.
He's extremely
entertaining.
I was so happy I got to see him in The Music
Man.
I also saw that Tony Award
winning role he had in The Boy from Oz.
He's just very entertaining. And I could talk, you know,
Doug loves Broadway, so I could go on and on about it.
We should probably move on. We should, you know,
just to hold my core audience would probably need to talk about some
superhero movies.
So let's take a break and we'll be right back after these words we're back did you enjoy
those words yeah first game you didn't hear the commercial
the first game we're going to play today is something that i call super super bros. Have any of you all seen either the original Super Mario Brothers
movie with John Leguizamo and Bob Hoskins or this new Super Mario Brothers movie? They
just added the word movie to the title of this one.
I have definitely seen me too. too yeah i have not i've seen
clips i've seen videos like from the original old one uh and i love bob hoskins and john
leguizamo but no completely nobody's nobody's seen the new one no no okay i haven't either
uh but that didn't stop me from doing a little reading about it and figuring out how to set up this game.
I will say a fact, fun or otherwise,
relating to either Super Mario Brothers from 1993
or Super Mario Brothers movie from now or neither.
I'll go to Bree first.
I'll tell you the fun fact.
You guess which one of those it is.
If you're wrong, Emma gets a shot.
If she's wrong, then Rina gets
the gimme point for that
particular fact.
Whenever somebody gets one right,
the next person in line
alphabetically gets
to go first on the next one.
Bree, does that make sense?
Yes.
Okay.
Spike is played by Richard Edson,
who is one of the guys that went for a joyride in Ferris Bueller's buddy's car,
Cameron's car, in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Is Spike played by Richard
Edson, does that occur in
Super Mario Bros., Super
Mario Bros. movie
or neither?
Super Mario Bros.
1993.
Yes.
You did see that movie.
That is correct
yeah all right amma this one goes to you okay um there's a character in the film named stink butt
is that that's Brothers Super Mario Brothers movie
or neither
that feels
I forgot to give Bria a correct sound effect
when she got it
oh man that was good
boy I hope I get that
I'm
I'm gonna go with the new one
I'm gonna go with new one for stink butt
okay there's a different sound effect
when this happens.
Oh, no.
They should have put a character
named Stinkbutt in there, in my opinion.
Rina, was that guy in the first
movie or neither?
I want to say neither.
Do you want
to say it or you are saying it?
I said I'm officially stating
it's officially that's your answer
neither and neither
let's call the whole thing off
that is correct
I just don't think
we were there really
having that much fun
with stink butt for
I don't know maybe
seems extreme
I thought it sounded like
something chris pratt like wedged in because he thought it was funny it's a japanese game you
know there are respectful people no yeah the japanese never reference butts yeah yeah exactly
yeah it's stink butt but he's blurred for the whole film?
Yeah, I don't know.
I figured that might be tricky, especially because of the
newer movie. Who knows
if they added anything or not.
Or either movie
for that matter. I'm not enough of a Super
Mario Brothers aficionado
to know what's
right or wrong in the movie adaptations.
I haven't
seen them, but I have eaten mushrooms, and I
feel like that's close enough.
I've grown real big, so
I also have experience
in that realm.
Aren't some of the characters supposed to be
mushrooms?
Sure.
Sure.
Yeah.
So you eat the little characters? Sure. Yeah. So you eat the little characters?
Yeah.
You get high on them?
Yeah.
The adaptive generation of characters
that they've got.
No.
Yes.
Are you high on mushrooms right now?
I wish.
Okay, Brie. it's back to you.
And this one, this one could do it for you.
If you get this one right, you win this game.
Because you already have one point.
If you don't, Emma's still got a chance to be in this thing.
The film has three credited directors is that super mario brothers
super mario brothers now movie or neither
neither brie pruitt says neither tell me your math how many how many directors do you think the two movies have
i think the first movie has one director and the second movie has one director wow listen to you
with your auteur theory
you're correct your math is off but it is neither it was a tricky question
because super mario brothers was directed by a couple a man and a woman two people and uh
super mario brothers movie has four accredited directors whoa wow so neither one of them has
three directors so congratulations congratulations, Brie.
You got that right.
Since we'll never play this game again,
I'll blow out what I was going to say for the tiebreaker.
And that is narrated by the voice of Homer Simpson, Dan Castellaneta.
Is that Super Mario Brothers OG or Super Mario Brothers now or neither?
OG.
Maybe OG.
Maybe OG.
Yeah, I think we all agree.
That's why you got to have a tiebreaker that, you know, someone's going to get right.
And that is right that he narrates the first one.
I don't even know.
I don't even remember how much narration there is in it.
Or if he sounds like Homer.
Like, you know how when he does other characters on The Simpsons, they kind of sound like Homer?
I remember the first movie being so prophetic.
Like, it was a true dystopian, like, dune hellscape.
But fun.
Yeah.
There's a lot of plumbing.
Yeah.
Yeah. It was, like, fun sound effects. And's a lot of plumbing. Yeah.
Fun sound effects.
And John Leguizamo.
Yeah, Johnny Legs. Can't go wrong with Johnny Legs. Alright, so
Brie Pruitt wins.
Let's find out what
after the break. We'll be right back.
We are back and
Brie Pruitt gets to go first
in our second and final determining game.
That first game was just sort of a warm up.
Why would anybody know anything about Super Mario Brothers movies?
This is a little bit more serious, this game, and it will determine our winner today.
The game is called Which Chris is Dis?
It is a hot new game that is sweeping the show and the nation.
And I'm even going to do a more expanded edition.
Basically, the answer this time out is one of four.
We did it with three last time. But somebody was so sad that Chris Pine wasn't in there that I'm adjusting it.
So the answer this time is one of four Chris's.
Hemsworth, Evans, Pratt, or Pine.
Okay.
I will tell Brie Pruitt
a movie
Brie will guess if it's got
Hemsworth Evans Pratt
or Pine in it
if she misses
then we go
to Rina
and if Rina misses then we go to Emma
and then if Emma
misses all three of you
don't get, there's one
remaining, there's one lone
standing Evans,
one lone Pine perhaps,
then
the person who went first is going to
get the gimme point there because it came
all the way back around.
I'm hoping that happens.
It could happen, but
probably not.
I think you'll all be pretty good at this game.
Are you ready, Brie?
I've never been more ready in my
life. Okay.
I'll remind you
of the four choices after I say it.
Good luck. Okay.
Princess Diaries 2
colon Royal Engagement.ris hemsworth wow you didn't even
need a recap of all the names you just spit right out the wrong answer i did the wrong one
they don't even look the same, the two sound effects makers.
But sorry, Brie.
That's okay.
That wasn't it.
I liked how quickly you answered.
Well, I've never seen that film, and I think that Chris Hemsworth is very Princess Diaries looking to me.
Sure, sure.
You don't have to explain
yourself to anybody.
But I won't.
Okay, Rina? Yes.
What do you think it is?
I
just, aesthetically, I
want to go with
our newcomer, Chris
Pine. I feel like he
looks the part. Okay, so that's your final answer, Chris Pine. I feel like he looks the part.
Okay, so that's
your final answer, Chris Pine?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think he was a prince in
Into the Woods.
You know, so
he's put on a prince
outfit or two.
Typecasting.
That is correct.
Oh, wow. Thank you you it's so big so big you're on the board all right so now uh uh we start with emma okay hemsworth evans pratter pine
a motion picture called had a lot of actors and actresses in it.
And it's called Smoking Aces.
Okay.
I'm not going to pretend like I know who like the difference between any of these Chris's.
Because I don't.
And I have never heard of this movie.
So I'm just going to sayris evans because it feels right he's america right he's captain
america i love the way you play yes that's which one he is okay but i got that wrong yeah yeah that
was incorrect but uh i still i love the way you play um because you know you're still part you
don't you know you don't back off
participating when you have you got very little to go on yeah i just go with my gut which is usually
wrong unfortunately i'm not gonna you know i'm not gonna be naming any of the movies that they're
mostly known for so i can just tell you that that hemsworth is thor evans is captain america
pratt is guardians of the galaxy and pine Pine is, you know, Wonder Woman.
And now he's in Dungeons and Dragons.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you.
All right.
We have to move on to Bree gets a shot at this one.
I get a stab.
Who do you think it is?
I think it's Chris Pine.
Are you feeling confident?
It sounds confident, that answer.
Same rationale.
I probably would have gone Chris Evans first round.
I think he's a contemporary of Smoke and Aces.
Okay.
Yes, that's correct.
Yeah, Chris Pine.
I forgot.
I mean, I can't remember Chris Pine and Smoke and Aces because it's kind of like it's a story with a lot of like
thugs killing
each other and
it's one of those
Pulp Fiction knockoff kind of deals.
But it's got some entertaining parts.
Like at one point, spoiler,
Ben Affleck, he's dead.
But somebody
just
takes their fingers. I forget what actor even does this, but somebody takes their fingers I forget what actor even does this
but somebody takes their fingers and
makes dead Ben Affleck
talk by moving his lips
with his fingers
yeah it's really it's funny if you don't like
Ben Affleck
alright so
Brie got that
one right
back to Rina for this next one a film Brie got that one right. Yes.
Back to Rena for this next one.
I'm ready.
A film you may not recall called Bottle Shock.
Oh, I got excited.
I thought it was going to be Bottle Rocket,
as I have recalled that one.
Right, but I don't think any of those Chris's was in that.
No, definitely not.
That one was full of wilson's they could do
a remake with the helmsworth brothers you know uh anyway i haven't seen bottle shock uh um but
let's go with uh let's do chris pratt i feel like he's not been
i don't know who it is so so I'm going to throw out Chris Pratt.
You know, you came to play. That's the important thing.
Yeah.
I could have predicted that.
Emma, what do you think it is?
Who do you think it is?
Chris Evans. I'm just going to stick
with my boy, Chris Evans.
You know, that's one way to play. It's not working out so far.
You know, it is a, it is a strategy. It could work.
I'm going to stick with my boy, Chris Pine. How do you like that?
Oh, that's how you're going to play it. Yeah.
That seems like some sort of path to success. Chris Pine. How do you like that? Oh, that's how you're going to play it. Yeah. He's my boy.
That seems like some sort of path to success.
Oh, wow.
Bet on the wrong Chris over here.
Reena.
Yeah.
I'm ready.
I was in a film called, oh, let me tell you about Bottle Shock real quick.
I think that was a movie with
Alan Rickman. The late movie with Alan Rickman,
the late, great Alan Rickman.
I think it's about wine tasting.
That's why there are wine sales.
Then Bottle Shock is like
sticker shock,
something like that.
Which is also a very deflating way
to use the term shock.
If you're talking about shock,
and then it's like, oh, wow.
Inflation, huh?
Yeah.
All right.
Here's the next one for who did I say was going to go first?
That'll be me.
Rina.
Okay.
Unstoppable.
Train is going and it's unstoppable.
This is another film i'm unfamiliar with but i feel like
based on how this game has played out it seems like chris pine is unstoppable in the answers
so i want to say chris pine that's a strategy are you sure that's where you want to go
yes i'm sure well you know what chris pine is it turns out he was stoppable or rather he was
able to stop the train oh wow cool cool yeah it's a very exciting movie even when you know i mean
it does the title does make it seem like they're not going to be able to stop it but
that's just a trick it's it's it's a catfish movie titles who directed it m night
shamalan it's like no my goodness stops yeah no it was a uh it was a tony scott i believe
and and you know he and denzel uh it's good it's good it's pretty good rosario dawson's like
in the control room on the phone trying to help stop the train.
Okay, so who just got that one right?
Bree did?
That was me.
I feel like a movie about a train that went too fast, but they did stop should be called Sped, right?
Yeah.
They sped.
Is that proper English?
Yeah, they were speeding and now it's over.
Alright, Emma, you're up first.
I hope you've heard of this movie. Perhaps you have because it's a light-hearted romantic comedy with Andy Samberg and
Rashida Jones,
daughter of Quincy.
Celeste and
Jessie forever.
Am I still
to be clear, I'm still guessing Chris's.
Yeah.
This is
super which Chris is this.
Okay.
It's going to go on
for hours.
I'm just going to go Chris Evans again because he's got to be in something eventually right right that's one way to look at yeah i feel like i feel like uh this feels like a
chris evans film to me um except now i'm kind of okay maybe it's actually chris pratt you okay i'm
gonna guess chris pratt i'm gonna guess i'm gonna i I'm going to guess Chris Pratt. That's my final answer.
Okay.
Oh, Jesus.
I like how you prefaced
Chris Pratt with an ew.
I'm going to go.
Is it Chris Evans? Oh, wait. You can't tell me yet.
So don't tell me. Never mind.
I'll tell you in a little bit. Bree?
I think it's Hemsworth.
I'm deviating from my boy Chris Pine.
Maybe unwisely.
You're going Hemsworth.
Yep.
Oh, no.
Yeah, exactly. Rina?
Yeah, I'm doubling down
on Chris Pine, man.
Yeah, you know what to do.
Yeah, I feel like
this is going to be
on his imdb
this podcast episode of how many times we mentioned him i think this is a baseball expression you
you're riding the pine i'm riding the his that yeah absolutely
the rocky horror picture show shit right there uh you're riding the pine sorry sorry that is correct though once again what is happening what a guy i think i got a splinter
all right emma i don't know if you know what's up or down at this point but
uh maybe this will help you out i'm pretty pretty sure that at least two or three of your children have seen and
enjoyed this movie is my prediction.
Okay.
And so maybe that'll help you to remember which Chris was in it.
The cabin in the woods.
I love that movie.
And I,
okay,
hold on.
Let me think.
We like that movie a lot.
All of us think it's very fun.
And I'm trying to remember
who's in it right now. Chris Evans.
That's your guess?
Yeah.
I can't remember who's in it other than
the little bald man who's
in other stuff. Choose between these
four. Choose between
you know, what's his name?
Pine was Kirk in Star Trek.
So choose between Captain Kirk
or the
what's his name?
Quill in Guardians
of the Galaxy.
Or Captain America
or Thor.
Which one of those was in Cabin in the Woods?
Okay, yeah.
Chris Pratt's not in it for sure.
Thor's not.
It is Thor. It's Thor.
Chris Hemsworth.
Right?
That is correct.
I knew I could talk you into a right answer.
Thank you.
Thank you for the help.
Because if you picture Thor, he's very Thor-like and he's big and muscular Maybe I could talk you into a right answer. Thank you. Thank you for the help. Right?
Because if you picture Thor, he's very Thor-like in his, like, he's big and muscular and was stupid and drove off.
He's like the funniest guy in the movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yep.
And once you said Thor, I was like, okay, it is Thor.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you, Doug.
You're on the board.
Emma Arnold's on the board.
And now, Bree Bree you have one chance
To tie it up with
Rina and if you do then we'll have to
Go to a tiebreaker
If you don't get this one right
Then Rina wins the whole game
Today
The motion picture
The motion picture is called
One word
Black hat The motion picture is called one word, Black Hat.
Shit.
Black Hat full of shit.
Let's go.
That was another Hugh Jackman
musical, actually.
Do not know what this is.
I'm going to go Pine because he's been a reliable.
I'm going to back the pine horse.
Everyone's riding the pine.
Will it work out for Brie Pruitt?
The answer is no.
No, not Brie.
Oh, dang.
Brie, which one of the remaining Chris's do you think it is?
Well, I'm conflicted here because Black Hat, the first thing that comes to mind is like Hasidic Jewish people.
And Chris is the most non-Jewish name there is.
And I know it's not relevant, but that's all I can think of.
I got in trouble for hanging out with a Chris when I was younger because there's no way a Chris is Jewish
and I was like
we're just friends dad
and yeah I did lose my virginity to that guy
anyway
I don't
he was right
I don't know it's not Chris Pine
that's the only one that I
I don't think. It's not Chris Pine. That's the only one that I...
I don't think it's Chris Pratt.
The other two are Helmsworth and Evans.
Yeah, Helmsworth or Evans.
I feel like...
I want to go with chris evans yeah
damn emma oh i get to try okay well i was gonna say i was gonna stick with my boy evans but
now since i guess i won with hemsworth, I'm going to say Thor.
I'm going to say Chris Hemsworth.
That is correct.
I've never even heard of this movie.
What is this movie?
Yeah, what's Black Cat?
It's too little too late, Emma, because Reena's got three points.
She wins. But Black Cat, he's like a tech guy.
He's like a hacker or something
and black hat i guess it's like his code name or something or maybe or maybe the bad got bad
hacker he's trying to catch it's called black hat or something i did not enjoy it
you didn't find chris hemsworth a believable hacker thought he was okay, but the movie just didn't interest me.
It was too techy, too much about that shit where they could just make stuff up
and I don't know what they're talking about.
But I think it was a direct-to-Netflix deal,
so I just watched it at home on TV, so I wasn't too into it.
But congratulations goes to Lena Cole.
Yeah, Lena!
This is definitely the first time i've ever won
on your show because i am pretty dumb at movies and you won for your christopher expertise
i know nobody tell my dad yeah um so that means you uh not only get to you know come back on the show as you know as soon as
we can work it out but also you get to do your uh plugs first what would you like to plug oh wowie
uh the best way to see where i'm at is uh at reenacalm.. You can see all of my tour dates, linked to my book of puns on Amazon.
I know you guys love your puns. There's even some movie stars in the book, some celebrity puns. So
recommend that. And my next, come see me in Boise in two weeks. I'll say that on May 12th at Push and Pour with Emma Arnold.
That's a double plug.
And follow me on Instagram at Rina Calm.
And I'll post fun stuff for you to click on.
Yeah, you're always traveling around places.
So there's lots of cool stuff to show us.
And thank you for taking the time out to be with us today.
Yeah, I'm finishing on that note.
My goal of all 50 states this weekend in Richland, Washington.
That'll be my 50th state.
And I am ready to take a nap.
Yeah.
Oh, my gosh.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Yeah.
So pretty good. I love it all right uh
brie pruitt what do you got to plug oh well folks can give me a follow at brie pruitt across
platforms and uh this very weekend in los angeles california i have a show at the Lyric Hyperion Theater at 4 p.m. and it is a cannabis and tarot
card themed comedy show where you can get your tarot cards read and you can pregame smoke with
us and then we'll go and watch comedy sets and I'll be hosting that one. That's really fun sounding.
A little sesh outside, like plan the sesh outside. Plan the
sesh outside. I always forget to tell
everybody that we should have a sesh outside.
I'm always just outside the venue while
everybody else is inside waiting for the show to start.
You're at the Zany's Rosebud Parking Garage
just hoping that something cool happens.
This is on the Lyric Hyperion.
The show's called High Priestess
after the tarot cards.
So, yeah, check it out.
I love that.
That's so cool.
Emma Arnold, what do you got to plug?
You can say the Boise show again if you like.
Yeah, please come see Rena in two weeks at Push and Pour.
I will have tickets up for that pretty soon.
And get them quick because that show always sells out if you're in Boise and i have a new album and comedy special coming out tomorrow called myself yeah
and i'm very excited about that congratulations ever thank you thank you um and i'm also
headlining the uh uh chief festival if i'm not sure exactly when this comes out, but next weekend I'm headlining the Chief Festival. And next Wednesday I will be on Grawlix Live at Mutiny Cafe and they will be,
we're making a regular podcast while they test out those period cramp simulators.
Oh my God. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. So I'm excited for that. But yeah,
check out my new album and my new special. It'll be it's gonna be great i can't wait to hear it congrats thank you i think the fun thing about a period
cramp simulator is probably that men are in no way equipped to deal with like women are you know
what i mean they're equipped to deal it's still horrible but i bet you it's even worse on a man
i can't wait to uh see the results of that.
Yeah. I'm very excited. They asked me to do it and I was like, absolutely. I'm the best person.
Right. You couldn't have asked a better person for that.
They say women have a higher threshold for pain than men just to begin with, right?
Yeah. And I have three natural childbirths. So I have an extremely high threshold for pain
and I have horrible period cramps.
So I'm I I feel like I was really the right person to ask to sit and sort of supervise this situation.
Stunning synergy.
Oh, my God.
I didn't even know that.
I'd never heard that.
I'm going to be.
Yeah, I'm like tingling overjoyed.
I mean, I'm excited for your special as well but i am so excited to i am fully fully erect at the prospect of like righteous gender justice yeah oh my god
you're my favorite you're my favorite cramp dom
i mean honestly i think we could all agree it would be much better if they could alleviate ours rather than torturing everyone.
We'll take what we can get.
Yeah.
This is the first step towards that goal, I think.
Until there can be litigation or, you know, some, you know, amendments to our constitution,
this will work for a little time.
Actually, you know, you can get full healthcare for your lady trouble.
If you just tell them you can't get your uterus hard anymore. They're on top of that. Yeah.
Fantastic. Hang on. A man needs to do some plugs right now. I'm doing,
I'm doing a happy hour standup show on Friday, May 5th at zany's and rosemont that'll be a lot of fun uh

as well say it because i think he's got some fans on the line uh jeff tate's gonna be joining me in
oh my god i'm glad you brought that up
because I forgot I was going to tell everybody
if you listen, Jeff opened for
me for my album recording
and if you listen, you can
hear his laugh so loud
through the whole thing.
And he's just, he's like
oh my gosh, it's so funny. When I was
listening back, you know, they were like sending
me edits and every time I would just be cracking up because you can hear It's so funny. When I was listening back, you know, they were like sending me edits and I,
every time I would just be cracking up cause you can hear his laugh so loud.
So yeah, that was very special. It was very fun.

And I'm going to be doing my annual mother's day. Doug loves movies at 420 in the afternoon at comedy works in Denver.
Yeah.
Doug loves movies.
Doug loves movies.com for all of my dates.
Thanks again to Rena calm.
Emma Arnold,
Bree Pruitt,
Rena calm.
Of course,
our champion,
our new champion.
And I always end every episode by
saying a last line
from a motion picture. And I always look something up.
I plan something ahead of time. I forgot to pick one
for today. And so I'm looking through. I have this
silly book that has lots of last lines
from movies. I'm just looking to see
if the first Super Mario Brothers
movie just happens to
be listed, because
that would be a good one to
use. But, you know,
it's just random which ones are
in the book. No Super Mario
Brothers. So instead, I'll
do the last line from superman
um as always no sir don't thank me warden we're all part of the same team good night
there's no room in his heart for you.
Cause Doug loves movies.
