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 Never Not Funny Studios in the Valley of Los Angeles
on August 25th to Ocean's Eleven. movies coming to you from the never not funny studios in the valley of los angeles on august
25th to oceans 11 uh why is there this sudden random episode yeah you're saying to yourself
a new one just came out and and that one came out early and uh the reason for these things is
because i decided to uh step it up and uh bring you at least one free episode per week, but then sometimes more.
So there will be a new one every week on or around Friday like there normally is,
but then another ep or two when you least expect them.
So that'll be fun, right? Or will it be annoying? I don't know.
Anyway, you're listening to the first of what will hopefully be many uh I don't want to
call them extra episodes this is going to be more we're just we're just doing more and uh I wanted
to say hey to the uh city of Colorado because I'll be uh coming to Boulder on September 24th
at the Boulder Theater and Colorado Springs September 21st at a place called Black Sheep.
And if you wear your name tags to those shows, you'll get a chance to go head-to-head against Graham Elwood in the Leonard Maltin game.
My guests today are great at the Leonard Maltin game.
Please welcome Garfunkel and Oates.
Hello, everybody.
A.K.A. Ricky Lindholm and Kate Micucci.
hello everybody aka ricky lindholm and kate mccutchey and um you've both advanced to uh high levels of the tournament championships yeah we have i think it's about for me it's
about strategy for kate it's about knowledge well you're a really good team like when you
played against hard and firm that was really good yeah we should do something like that again
we beat them with like a minus three or something.
Yeah, that was rough.
But I'm excited today because I'll get to play the game against the both of you.
Nice.
Because also here today is guest game runner, Matt Belknap.
Hello.
Hi, Matt.
Hi.
Who everyone knows, of course from never not funny and we're
we're sitting like the ghost of jimmy pardo is in me right now right right yeah
keeping his seat warm yeah oh really well that's weird it'll be a while before he sits in it again
that's true yeah probably it'll totally cool off he won't sit down and be like, Benson was here?
So,
Ricky actually got up on stage when we were in, when Graham
and I were in Cleveland at Hilarities.
Yes. Yeah.
Right next to, I think there should be a strip club next door
called Hilarities.
That was fun.
But it was a fun time and you actually came up
on stage and played against an audience member.
Oh, you played against Graham for an audience member.
Did you win or Graham won?
Graham won.
The movie was Cheaper by the Dozen, and I couldn't remember the...
The name of it.
Yeah.
Exactly, the name.
You knew there was a movie with a bunch of kids.
Right.
And that was the Steve Martin one, right?
Yeah.
Oh, wait, no.
It wasn't Cheaper by the Dozen.
It was the other one. It was the Rene Russo one. And Dennis Quaid. Yeah.
That I still don't know the name of. With Six You Get Egg Roll.
Oh. No, that's not what it's called.
That's not what I mean.
That one.
Cheaper by the Dozen.
What was the one where they had a bunch of kids?
Oh, Matt's going to look it up.
I should totally know this, but
it's such a generic thing and once you put Cheaper by the Dozen in my head, then I couldn to look it up. I should totally know this, but it's such a generic thing.
And once you put cheaper by the dozen in my head, then I couldn't think of it.
Outbreak?
Just kidding.
No, that's not it.
Well, I was thinking of the gorilla.
What was the Rene Russo movie with the gorilla?
Yeah, it had one name, wasn't it?
Buddy?
I wouldn't call Pierce Brosnan a gorilla.
What was that movie called?
There's Cheer But It Doesn't End.
It was another remake of another movie about too many kids.
The more the...
Oh.
The more...
The merrier.
No.
Why is it taking you so long to look it up?
Well, because I spelled Rene Russo's name wrong.
That's always a major setback.
I thought it was R-E-N-E-E, but it's just R-E-N-E.
There's Buddy.
Thomas Crown.
Big Trouble.
Two for the Money?
No.
No, no.
Are you sure Rene Russo's in this?
Yeah.
Yours, mine, and ours.
That's it.
Yeah.
Yours, mine, and ours.
I don't know that one.
Oh, God.
Dennis Quaid is in that, too? Because they both have a bunch of kids, and they get together, and it's like, can we make is mine and ours that's it yeah yours mine and ours i don't know that oh god dennis quaid isn't
that too because they both have a bunch of kids and they get together and it's like can we make
this work because all the kids hate each other because they become like you know they get into
wars against each other like the but you know what they made it work in mccoys they did make it work
i didn't even see the movie and i know they made it i think i saw a trailer i think at one point a
lot of them fall through a hole in the ground and then then Dennis Quaid looks down at it disapprovingly.
And did they shrink?
Did they shrink and end up in their parents' cereal?
No.
Was Dennis Quaid in that?
No.
But it sounds to me like the Brady Bunch with more conflict.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's exactly what it was.
The Brady kids managed to get along pretty good all those years.
Didn't they almost date even even sharing a bathroom
what didn't they almost date well in real life yeah i think they i think they actually did it
i think there was some i think greg made love to mrs brady yeah yeah that's really hot and then
i'm gonna go dream about that and then she had sex with the uh mayor of new york and he gave her uh
crabs crabs right her license plate says mrs brady i've seen her driving what yeah wow oh She had sex with the mayor of New York and he gave her crabs. Crabs.
Her license plate says Mrs. Brady.
I've seen her driving.
What?
Yeah. Wow.
Oh.
Yeah, I know.
It's like, oh, let it go.
I mean, okay.
That can't be what it's all about.
Yeah.
Dr. Seuss said Grinch, which I thought is cool.
Wow.
Because that's timeless.
That's awesome.
The Brady Bunch is over, but Grinch is timeless.
You mean Ted Geisel?
Was that his name? Yeah. Theodore. Yeah. Theodore. Yeah, Geisel. Something like that. That's timeless. That's awesome. Brady Bunch is over, but Grinch is timeless. Ted Geisel, was that his name?
Yeah.
Theodore.
Yeah.
Theodore.
Yeah, Geisel.
Something like that.
That's weird.
It's like I never thought about the fact that they had vanity plates in his time.
It seems like that was a long time ago, right?
I think before he...
Oh, it was like later years?
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, now I'm getting bummed out that he died.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Who died?
Dr. Seuss.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
It's been like how long now?
I don't know.
He's been dead a while.
Probably been a while, but just the fact that he...
I saw a news story on Nancy Reagan yesterday, and I thought she was dead.
Yeah, me too.
I didn't realize she was still alive.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
They showed her falling down somewhere.
Uh-huh.
Oh, no.
And what's his name?
Marco Rubio, I think, was the guy.
He already was holding her arm
so he just sort of caught her
and she didn't totally
make it to the ground
but she seemed pretty out of it
and I really
at first I really
did have the same reaction
I was like
I thought she was dead
I just now
when you were talking about it
I was like wait what?
Yeah
I know
maybe it's a big
maybe we've all been pranked
maybe she's having
a really long weekend at Bernie's.
That's why she fell over. It's because she's not alive.
And the guy holding her up is truly holding her up.
That's creepy. That's really creepy. That could be a good movie.
Nancy Reagan's 90-year-old body. I'm happy for her that she's alive and didn't fall down.
That's like weekend at Bernie's meets First Wives.
So you were shooting a movie in...
Yes, in Cleveland.
Cleveland, Ohio.
A movie called Fun Size.
Fun Size.
It's a Halloween movie.
Right, and that's the size of the candy, but also is it a reference to anything else?
No.
Like is the lead character fun-sized?
Well, I guess the lead character,
one of them is a seven-year-old boy,
so he's kind of fun-sized.
He's small.
Yeah.
But it's like Adventures in Babysitting,
kind of where it's like over one night
and they meet a bunch of people along the way.
It's Cleveland instead of Chicago.
Yeah, exactly.
Equally sketchy.
Yeah, Cleveland is awesome.
I like it there, yeah.
Except the place that we ate lunch at. do you remember the the with the bull riding thing and oh that wasn't lunch yeah i got
really sick i got really sick after that oh yeah yeah yeah we won't name names but it was some
place that had a mechanical bull which is usually a mechanical bull is a sign that uh it's gonna be
exquisite dining.
Right.
It's going to be the best food ever.
Yeah, but this poor girl couldn't get on the bull.
Maybe you just ate too much of it.
I think I did.
Yeah.
Yeah, there was a girl that wanted to ride the mechanical bull, and she couldn't get
up on it.
And it was more so than any mechanical bull I've ever seen accessible in terms of all
you have to do is be able to lift one leg up.
Close to a carousel.
Yeah.
She couldn't do it.
You could really get right on
because everybody else
was kind of like,
did you go after her?
No, Abby did.
Yeah, Abby was daunted
by the fact
the other girl couldn't get on.
She's like,
well, I'm not going to be able
to get on if she couldn't.
And then she did.
No, I think you just have
to not be completely...
Did you guys go on it?
No.
I didn't do it.
But the girl's skinniest friend
got in to help her
and that was no help either.
She had an 80-pound friend get in and try to lift her up.
This was lunch?
That's what I'm saying. It was more like dinner time.
But it could have happened at lunch.
I think that place has lunch also.
I don't know why Mechanical Bull always seems like
a midnight thing you see.
It seems like you should get drunk first.
But this was like happy hour-ish.
Because I do a lot of shows out on the road
at 4.20 in the afternoon
So we're done at like 6
And so then that's when we went
And that pretty much ruined my evening too
Because I drank and ate so much there
And I didn't go on the bull to work it off
So I think that was one of those nights
Where I intended to go out
And just ended up sleeping in my hotel room
Yeah, I felt so gross after that.
When is Fun Size supposed to come out?
Next Halloween, 2012.
Oh, yeah.
I play an anime character.
I wonder if it's...
What?
Yeah.
So wait.
Because we're all in costume.
Oh, your dress is...
Yeah, so my character, yeah.
Oh, so you had to wear the same thing
every scene you're in?
Yep.
Every day you shot? Yeah. Did that get get gross uh no no because well they have different
right they have copies of it yeah they wash it and everything so so almost probably in some ways
more fun than other movies because it's cool to just know what you're gonna wear just walk in
knowing what you're gonna wear how to put it on and but i had to wear these like stripper boots
which is really hard to wear. They're like seven inch
heels kind of thing. They're really, really hard.
Clear heels.
Really? Like fish swimming around in them?
No. Do they make those types
of shoes with fish in them? Yeah.
Oh, that's cool.
Was that ever a real thing?
Probably not for the fish.
I only know that from that Beastie Boys video
for Haley. Yeah, I mean,
I don't know if it's,
you know,
how common they are.
I'm just thinking about
how Lady Gaga
would like one-up
the fish in a shoe.
She'd put like a shark
in her shoe.
Yeah.
I saw a play on Broadway
called Jerusalem.
How was it?
Mark Rylance is amazing.
He's such a great actor,
so he sort of carried
the whole thing,
but I wasn't uh
completely in love with it but one thing that happened was at one point somebody brings him
a goldfish and then the goldfish just ends up in different places on the stage for the for like the
rest of the show and it just kind of swims around in there like a goldfish would. And I just got really fixated on, that goldfish doesn't even know it's in a play.
Maybe it did know.
Like the goldfish doesn't understand
why all of a sudden the bag got poked
and water's shooting out of it
and he's threatening the life of the thing.
It's so weird.
I wonder if the fish dies after every show.
Because most animals, once you're threatening them,
they act like they know what's going on.
But fish, man, they just they don't remember swim around like yeah yeah
yeah and it and that was funny you mentioned that because in the in the play the fish was
voiced by ellen degeneres i wanted to see that i saw how to succeed in business instead yeah and
you didn't like it very much no i did not it wasn. It wasn't for me. It's very like standard Broadway, you know, just was not for me.
Well, what I think is interesting about it is the premise of the show is sort of like, you know,
Ferris Bueller gets a job or whatever, like Matthew Broderick played the part once before.
But in the case of Daniel Radcliffe, what I've seen is that he, the character is supposed to be like, he's
just really clever and he's just figuring out his way to how to work the ladder just
by making the right connections and stuff.
But he is so sincere and earnest that it's not like he's not trying.
It's like he's trying really hard.
It's like how to succeed in business by trying really hard and doing a lot of the smart things
you should do to succeed in business.
It doesn't become like a guy, you know,
screwing the system.
Like a sneaky little...
No.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So his face is so open and sweet
and he's got this big smile
and you're like,
oh, I'm glad he got a promotion.
And you're like, wait, that's not...
No, he just like sent someone to Siberia
and fucked his wife.
You should not be glad about this, but...
Well, we should do a, you know,
Doug Loves Broadway sometime
and we can really delve into it
because people listening right now are like, this conversation
is
I don't want to say gay, but it is.
We'll go see Book of Mormon and then talk about it.
I did see Book of Mormon. You did?
I want to see it.
It's really good. Man, I want to see it
so bad. But not as good as
everybody says it is.
Well, then I want to see it kind of bad.
Here's my argument.
I'll say this quickly and move on.
I think I've even said it on the podcast before.
People go, oh, I liked it, and I don't even like musicals.
And it's like, no, you liked Book of Mormon.
You now like a musical, because it is a musical.
It's a lot of singing and dancing.
It's not always hilarious jokes about AIDS.
It's a lot of, it's a real show with show tunes.
They're good tunes and the dancing's good,
but it's still a musical.
And you like a musical if you like it.
You officially like musicals.
Yeah, you're in the club.
Go try another one.
You might actually like that one too.
Kate.
Yes.
And both of you, Ricky,
were at the Del Close Marathon in New York.
Thanks for having us.
That was super fun when we did that Thanks for having us. That was super fun
when we did that. What a crowd.
That was really... I think we're going to make that trailer
that we talked about, how Kate and I
starring in our own version of The Change Up, but we switch lives
and we have the same life.
That's awesome, yeah. Or that could just be
you know how videos
you don't necessarily have to act out what you're singing.
Maybe sometime you could do a video
where the story in the video is that you
switch lives and nothing. It's just the same.
It's still the same. But the song doesn't have to be
about that. It wouldn't be a song. It would just be a movie trailer.
I would just hit my head
on things because I wouldn't be
used to being so tall.
Well, that's the thing about the change-up, which I have not
seen, full disclosure. But
from the trailers and stuff, it's like
the first time the guy realizes
he's in the other guy's body is because he just stands up out of what he thinks is his bed and
hits his head on something that's not in his bedroom because they've switched but that's like
it's like there's a really good chance he could have just gotten up out of bed not crashed into
shit right you know what i mean like like you know like you really wake up just because you're in
your bed you don't open your eyes and you just stand up and, you know, don't think there could possibly be anything that could get in your way.
But but that is a funny idea.
If you just that's the only thing for you and for you.
Oh, that's that'd be funny.
Like one of them could be you getting turned away from a ride at Disneyland and being this upset because Ricky would never.
Like, yeah, you're hitting would never. Like, yeah,
you're hitting your head
or I guess it would be you acting
and then the other,
you'd be ducking
when you don't need to.
Right.
The whole thing is about height
the entire time.
But our days are identical.
That really is
the biggest difference.
Yeah.
Between you.
At least now, yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, now that you go on the road together and stuff all the time, you probably know more serious differences.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, for sure.
Like, you know, one's better at sleeping.
Kate's better at sleeping.
She's lighter.
She's got a lighter attitude.
Yes, she does.
And I nap a lot.
Yeah.
Kate sleeps a lot.
She looks at flowers.
I do, but I smell them.
Wait, look at that cloud cloud it looks like a dragon
and i'm like oh yeah but i like to do those types of things it's just in my nature i guess i like i
literally will you know get caught smelling flowers on the road like you know just like
walking to get a sandwich and then oh these flowers smell so good and then somebody will
look at me like i'm crazy she's really like that. I thought maybe underneath there would be, no.
She's happy.
Yeah, all the darkest stuff in your songs is you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And Kate just plays along.
Yep.
I'm like, you can be kind, but she's like, I don't know.
I'm not saying that word.
Then she'll do it.
But you're singing it with her.
You don't have to sing it solo, right?
No, mostly no.
Yeah.
But I feel like there's something about when you sing a swear word, it's a lot easier to say.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
And it's also seeping into my actual, you know, everyday language.
I say the F word a lot more.
I couldn't say yeah
you avoided it
you avoided it
adorably
that was
effing adorable
have you
so have you got
any movie work
that's in the
in the can
no
you
but you're still
recurring on
Raising Hope
yes I'm still
working on Raising Hope
but I
yeah I mean
and it's fun
I just went back
last week
so
should be
hopefully a good season.
Kate and I have an audition after this to play
two members of someone's, like,
band on a TV show.
We're both going. Oh, that'd
be so great if one of you got it and the other
one didn't. Well, yeah.
But that'd be,
they'd probably cast both of you or neither, right?
Because that's kind of the fun of bringing the two of you in for it is that you already are a band it'll i think they
brought us in for that but you never know what the people at fox think you never know if they
know who we should wear our garfunkel notes jackets yeah especially because it's 90 degrees
outside what do you do you know what you have to do for the audition is it um sides with yeah we
just have talk you know one of the characters is really nice and and bright and sunny and the other one is the rival of the
main girl and she's like kind of bitter and bitchy so i don't know who would play what um i do yeah
i know i'm just kidding yeah i do uh they've already assigned you that way no you have to
read for both of them oh okay well that'll be good that's right there you're just practicing
body switch movie yeah there we go yeah i know we have the same audition with two characters we to read for both of them. Oh, okay. Well, that'll be good. That's right there. You're just practicing Body Switch movie.
Yeah, there we go.
Yeah, I know.
We have the same audition
with two characters.
We should just walk
into the room together
and insist that we
audition together.
It'd be really funny
if you just launch into it
and you just read the,
both read all the lines
together and you just
read the whole thing.
And then force him
to hear a song.
Probably both parts
the whole time.
Yeah.
We're not done yet.
Wait, we're just gonna
sing one song for you.
Is this an existing show or is it a new show? It's a new show that're not done yet. Wait. We're just going to sing one song for you. Is this an existing show
or is it a new show?
It's a new show
that hasn't aired yet.
Oh, okay.
Oh, it's past the pilot stage?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, so the character
forms a band later.
It's not about a band?
No.
It forms a band later.
What's the show called?
New Girl.
Oh, with Zooey Deschanel.
Yep.
Oh, damn.
That'd be...
The two of you with her, that's too much cute for me or anyone to bear.
We don't be both, babe.
That show's going to be too cute.
Matt Belknap.
Yeah.
I've been talking to these ladies, ignoring you.
That's all right.
But you're like a guest when we do this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Have you been to the movies lately?
Uh, no. I know i know right we're too busy
making doug loves movies i know go see movies uh i you know and i have a i always use this excuse
but i have to stop but i have a an almost three-year-old daughter so right it's like a big
ordeal to like get a babysitter and go but does she want to go see movies no that's the most
heartbreaking part like i i actually wanted to see winnie the pooh i was like i will go see that that's supposed to be good and she was like
no no no i don't like the dark and i was like all right wow yeah you really can't but uh i'm trying
to i i feel like we've taken her to a couple we've taken her to um tangled which i actually liked um
and she she slept through it but then said she liked
it afterwards so that was a good it was a good way to do it and um and then she went to like the
little mermaid was playing at el capitan and she got scared and and had to leave so it's scary yeah
well ursula yeah it's pretty scary and um yeah so maybe that's what did it she just was like no more
but uh she says when she turns three which is in in a month, she's going to be, she'll be ready.
So that's what she says.
She's planning for when she'll be ready to go.
Everything right now is, well, when I'm three, that's, that's her thing is like, she'll do
whatever she can't do now.
When she, you know, it's going to be when I'm four.
Yeah.
Yeah.
As soon as she gets there, she's like, man, I was wrong.
Sorry guys.
Three and a half.
Yeah.
Keep pushing it.
Four is the magic number.
I'll start going to movies when I'm 21.
I want to be able to get drunk first.
I'll be scared of the dark.
Take her to see the new Guillermo del Toro movie.
That's right up her alley.
It's called Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.
That's how I'm going to you love it yeah you really afraid scare scare make her realize that
everywhere outside the theater is scarier than the inside the theater itself yeah i watched the
thriller video in the dark when i was like five and i didn't get over it for ever yeah and my
parents like being nice parents they thought i was a michael jackson fan which i was but they
put the thriller poster above my bed yellow eyes oh no and i was so scared of it and i used to like
sleep at the bottom of my bed under my covers and then finally one night like after like a week i
was like crying my mom comes in and i was like i'm scared of the poster and then she goes oh and
she's like took it down and she's like better and i'm like yeah she's like okay did you see the
making of the of like they always had that with the yeah you could get the tape and
you could watch like an hour of how it was made and that's what made me okay with that video
as a little kid because it was like oh yeah it's just pretend and those are contacts yeah yeah
yeah you should watch that part i should have i didn't dumb little five-year-old yeah when you
hear michael jackson whining about how bad the contacts hurt it those were giant contacts i
remember oh gross you weren't soothed by the disclaimer that michael jackson put on the video about how bad the contacts hurt. Those were giant contacts. I remember going, oh, gross.
You weren't soothed by the disclaimer that Michael Jackson put on the video
where he said,
I do not believe in the occult
or things that are occult-like.
That was weird.
No, because that last shot
was such a shock to me.
Why do you have to say that the occult?
It's like he's against things that are occult.
They really thought that people
were going to freak out at this video.
Like, they were going to think he at this video. Like, now he,
like,
they were going to think
he was a Satan worshiper,
maybe?
I don't know
what they thought.
I mean,
that's not even pertinent
to the storyline,
but I guess.
Yeah,
even in the thing,
he's just sort of like,
scary movies are fun.
Yeah.
Like,
he's just like,
it's all lighthearted.
It's about horror films.
It's not about,
like,
real things happening.
We should put disclaimers
on our videos.
Just that we don't believe
in what's going to happen.
We don't believe pregnant women are smug.
Ready? Go.
We don't believe in handjobs.
It's a myth made up by men.
We don't even believe in music videos.
This is actually not happening right now.
Have you seen any movies lately, Kate?
You know, I'm just realizing
I went to see Captain America
with my dad and the neighbor kids
when I was home in Pennsylvania. Oh, that's fun.
Yeah, I actually really liked it.
I don't know, because usually when there's action
happening, I zone out and fall asleep,
but I was into it. They focus
on character a lot more. You know, Chris
Evans is really good. Yeah, and I liked how
they made him look so weak and
little in the beginning of the movie.
Yeah, yeah. But you wish there was a machine that could turn you into Captain America, right?
But the weird thing is I kept seeing him as the little guy throughout the movie.
I couldn't erase that idea of him being like...
You know what I think they should have tried to do when he was little and scrawny?
They should have tried to make his voice not so...
He already had a deep voice. The voice not so like he he already had he already had a
deep voice the voice didn't change when he became Captain America so he was always kind of like a
deep talker for this little guy he's like I want to I want to sign up I want to fight for my country
wait I haven't seen a little guy with a deep man voice how did they how did they make him look
little was it just it was totally Benjamin buttoned him oh really yeah yeah it's super cgi stuff but it's really good it's really well done yeah but it's also kind of like
that's just you can't stop thinking about it while you're watching it like it's very it draws a lot
of attention to it i kept looking around it like like seeing if i could see any imperfection but
it really did look amazing yeah but i was like it become captain america already we know that's
where this is going like a on music videos and stuff,
I wonder if they use that same technology
to make people look skinny and fit.
Oh, well, you know, there was that,
there was a talk about the Paula Abdul video,
something about a brand new day or something.
Promise of a new day.
Yeah, yeah.
I know a lot about Paula Abdul.
She was really stretched out in that one.
But all it was is really that they just used
one of those like, you know,
anamorphic widescreen lenses and and it was but all it was is really that they just used one of those like you know um
anamorphic uh widescreen lenses and then and then like formatted differently so it was like
when you see a movie yeah yeah it wasn't a fancy technique it was really just like a weird uh i
think they were they were claiming oh no it was like an artistic choice but it did happen to make
her look taller and thinner so and she is five foot two so that's uh it was suspicious it was very suspicious
uh did you did you say you saw something i saw the conan movie this week have you seen that
oh conan won't stop yeah yeah i like that a lot so good did that just come out on video
i wish he were more like he is off camera on camera i wish especially now that especially now that they're saying, you know, that the, you know, the ratings
aren't great and they're not sure what they're going to do.
Like, he should just really, because he is so funny in that movie.
Yeah, he's so funny in it.
Because like all those years in Late Night, I always thought he was just pretty genuinely
nice and didn't, wasn't that like, he's not terrible to his employees, but.
He's in charge.
He has, yeah but he he punches
people like i never thought of him as a person that would be punching people no no i didn't
think of him that way at all and it's funny it's really funny the way he does it like and
and just also just how he just uses his humor all day long uh he was going through an especially
bad time because of what happened with the tonight show but it's still just funny how he even when he's being mean or telling somebody to do something he does in
such a funny way they're like oh okay you can't stop being funny yeah and being on stage that was
the other thing i thought there's a little too much of you know him getting to play play music
with people is this kind of like right no one ever wants to see that yeah it's like good for you you
got to play with them but yeah we could I want more of your jokes and stuff.
Yeah, I liked how he kept having to meet fans backstage,
even though he was losing his voice.
Because I can totally relate to that.
Because that's when I lose my voice, is after the shows.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because you have to talk to all those people.
And then the next day you wake up and you got nothing.
Nothing, yeah.
Yeah.
It doesn't happen to me, because I don't have to sing.
The singing element
really really puts that extra strain on there yeah and i you know you don't want to be like
a bitch being like i'm on vocal rest and you're not supposed to whisper either so you're just
like i don't know so you just talk and lose your voice right like there's no way to look cool and
be like sometimes i just have a notebook and kate has to tell people i'm on vocal rest if it's really
bad or you could have a tape recorder that just nice to meet you you know yeah that's a good idea okay one of those
things that talks when you type like i've used that before oh yeah we were editing something
and i used that to tell them what i thought why not some nights just go out and do penn and tellers
act yeah we've been pretty close yeah there have been moments where it felt like that. Okay.
I would like to introduce a new segment into the program.
They'll rarely get to because we always run out of time.
But it's called Doug's Oscars.
And it's where I know that at least one person that gets to vote in the Oscars,
like one Academy voter listens to this podcast, at least one,
maybe there might be two or three,
maybe somebody that works in special effects or something.
Uh,
Oh, that's a fun game.
Everybody figure out,
try to figure out who it is.
Is this someone who's been on the show?
Well,
now you're narrowing it down considerably.
Okay.
Yeah,
that's a good point.
But yeah,
it's someone who's been on the show.
Is it Jerry O'Connell?
Yes.
He's,
he's an Academy member from when he was nominated for Tomcats.
I was so happy I came up with a horrible movie that he was in that quickly.
Piranha?
And that's how you become a member is to get nominated?
You're an automatic member once you've been nominated.
There's other ways.
But then there's other ways you can be sort of voted in.
But you kind of have to have two huge people like like jane fun
and jack nicholson have to go hey we want this person in or whatever and i don't i don't think
they really i don't think people go to that much trouble to get other people in i think it's more
like it's one of those clubs once you're in you're like i'm good i'll see you in there if you ever
get in right right i'll see you inside but i wanted to say quickly, I've been wanting to do this for weeks,
and I may have even done it one week and completely forgot that I got it in.
But so far, chime in and tell me if you guys have any that you would agree or disagree with.
For Best Actor, I think Paul Giamatti should be nominated for Win-Win.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Because he's great in it it and he's always great.
Like, the Academy had the nerve
to not even nominate him
for American Splendor,
which in that year
I thought he should have won.
That was awesome
that Sean Penn said something
at the Oscars about it.
Yeah, yeah.
He's kind of like,
well, there you go.
That's almost as good.
Yeah, yeah.
But Sean Penn also, though,
he's like,
he's almost Kanye in his,
like, I really have to say this. No matter how inappropriate. If Sean Penn went up there and said, I should be nominated for an Oscar, I he's like, he's almost Kanye in his, like, I really have to say this,
no matter how inappropriate.
If Sean Penn went up there and said, I should be nominated for an Oscar, I'd be like, fuck
yeah.
Because Sean Penn also gave Chris Rock a hard time for saying Jude Law's in too many movies.
And Jude Law was in five movies at the time, so it's not that mean of a joke.
No, we say he's the second choice in all the movies, because they couldn't get other people.
Yeah, well, he was in a lot there for a while.
But Jude Law, the first few things i saw him and
i went this guy's great and then he and and just being in too much and too many movies where he had
boring roles to play he's a good actor like i just saw road to perdition again and he's pretty awesome
and i'm normally not at all scared or intimidated by him well yeah it's against type he's like this
kind of pretty boy but that role he's like pretty beat up looking and yeah he did a good job um i saw this movie called natural selection that i'm
sure you guys haven't seen yet but it was i saw it at south by southwest and uh it won a bunch of
awards there including their acting award went to rachel harris yeah i heard that's amazing yeah
yeah yeah she is she is so good in movie, and it's such a small movie
that I'm afraid that it'll be one of those
ones. I'm hoping it'll be like
Winter's Bone or something.
It happens.
Jennifer Lawrence got nominated.
And Winter's...
What was the one with Melissa Leo got nominated for?
Winter River?
Winter...
Frozen River.
Winter River. winter river winter the river frozen river frozen river winter river winter river but yeah so i'm hoping that rachel harrison natural selection can get that sort of uh buzz going because she's
she's amazing in it and she's she's normally a comedic actress like she played you know the
mean ed helms mean wife in the first hangover right so good i don't know if she's in this
is she in the second hangover no No. They don't even bring her in
to get for him to yell at her again.
No.
He's got a nice wife.
Best supporting actor,
John C. Reilly in Cedar Rapids.
Oh my God,
he's so good in that movie.
Oh my God.
So amazingly good.
I saw a screening of that movie
a while ago
and I was just like,
oh,
I hope he wins an Oscar.
Yeah,
he's,
but you know,
the movie kind of came and went
and you know,
people seem to like it
but people didn't go crazy over it either.
Yeah, but he's a reason to watch it.
He is such a reason to watch it.
He's so good at it.
But the movie's good, too.
It's a good movie.
And that's on video now.
It's a good, funny movie.
You get to see...
Ed Helms.
No, I was going to say Anne Heche in her underwear.
She's sold it together nice.
She's hot.
She looks good.
There's no...
Yeah, so she might be from
another planet now i'm like if you can do that to chris evans body maybe she doesn't look good
and it's just all cgi i don't think they spend that kind of money on cedar rapids no they just
hire a woman that looks good and everywhere but she does i'm gonna go from there uh yeah but it's
it's a it's a good one and then um i got two best supporting actress picks um ellen page in super
i haven't seen it oh my god so good so good oh i have to see it she's like you know she's like
this uh really anxious to also be a superhero along with rain wilson's character and her
enthusiasm is ridiculous and it's especially compared to her other roles, it's amazing.
She's usually kind of deadpan.
Yeah.
And also compared to her in real life,
it's amazing.
Really?
In real life, she's very calm and quiet.
And so it's just funny to see her
playing such a spazzy character.
And then did you guys see,
I love any movie with the word super in it.
Did you see Super 8?
No, not yet.
It's on my list.
We're behind on all the Super movies.
You've got to see that.
And when you do,
Elle Fanning,
Dakota's sister,
is in it.
And she's going to go on
to do great things
and probably get nominated
at some point.
But there probably won't be
a better performance
in a movie this year
than her in that movie.
At least in terms of
doing a good job
of delivering a...
You know,
like, she has, in that movie at least in terms of at least in terms of doing a good job of delivering us you know uh like she she has in the movie she's acting in a movie and she still she manages to pull off the not being able to act very well thing that's hard for a little kid yeah and then
but then also then she pulls off she has a part in it where she acts really well, does a great job of acting,
and the little kid director that's directing her is totally blown away by her, and that's amazing, too.
Those fannies are so talented.
Yeah, but there's something about this one.
This one is just like, because also, I sat through that whole Sofia Coppola movie somewhere,
and it wasn't because of Stephen Dorff.
No.
a fia coppola movie somewhere yeah and it wasn't because of steven dorf no you know it's just because this girl this little girl is really their relationship is what was made that made it worth
sitting through and then once it was over you still go but really really do we really like
watch her ice skating for seven minutes and then two different scenes of pole dancers in his room
where they dance to an entire song and steven dorf was on my plane to cleveland when i was going
there he was also on his way to film a movie not dark knight rises though i don't know something else probably
something he was on his way to filming this maybe he's in that i'd met him before and um i think he
assumed that i had quit acting and moved to cleveland he goes oh do you live here now and i
was like no i'm actually here doing a movie and he was like oh good for you yeah i get that sometimes
when i'm on the road they go so you live you live around here? No. Like after a show.
I'll be like, yeah, I just came over from my apartment.
Right.
You should have been like, do you?
Because I haven't seen you in a movie in 10 years.
Except that I have.
I just saw somewhere.
Oh, right, right.
He looks like such an actor.
But he's in a couple things that are coming out.
I think there's going to be a Stephen Dorff resurgence.
Really? I think so, too.
And he just looks like an actor.
He's kind of ripped and sort of short. You know how they all kind of look
like a chiseled kind of face? I would think he was an actor
if I didn't know who he was. He's good in somewhere
playing a famous actor. He
pulls that off very nicely. It's just
a weird movie. I
kind of want to see it again. Yeah.
Even though the first time or the whole time I was like, really?
This is so...
It's kind of long. Let's play Build a Title.
Oh, what?
Yeah.
I was getting ready to pull the Len out, but let's do it.
Yeah, or do you have the sound cue ready?
Is there a sound cue for Build a Title?
You know how everybody that has segments on a show like this,
they always have something that didn't ever dawn on me.
It's just like, why can't I just say, let's do this, and then we do it.
We'll record something for you. Let's do it now. Build a me. It's just like, why can't I just say let's do this and then we do it. We'll record something for you.
Build a title.
There you go.
You can use that. Feel free to keep that.
You might want to use it every single time.
Pull that out and drop it.
We just made that up right now. We didn't even practice.
That's amazing.
How did we know what we were going to say?
I don't know. It's crazy.
You guys are like totally sharing a brain.
The thing I've discovered about build a title is
that when you pick a title more often than not half of the title's already a stopper
yeah you know because it's just like it's hard to find one that goes yeah and uh like
what would be a good example like uh uncle buck oh yeah that might be a double star
because nothing ends in uncle oh bucky bucky larson that new movie but then larson's over
that new movie uncle bucky yeah yeah that works uncle bucky larson born to be a star
star oh and then we go from that then we go from there but I'm just saying
the uncle end
would never get anything
right
unless you could think
of something that ends in
maybe the word punk
oh yeah
oh yeah
Salt Lake City punk
SLC punk
there you go
right
SLC punk
gold buck
see
so I picked a bad title
to make my point
my point with
wasn't there
the man from uncle but that was a TV show?
Yeah, it was a TV show.
I'm surprised they haven't turned that into a movie.
Where's that?
Big comedy star?
They should.
They probably will.
Or maybe they won't, because I think now they're starting to get burned by the fact that they
go, let's take this old thing, and all the adults will want to go.
And then the adults say, nah, and then the kids don't know what the thing is right and then it doesn't do that great
and a lot of that like did dukes of hazard do that great no and uh they made a sequel some
of them yeah they made and then some direct-to-video ones too i think but i spy like there's this yeah
i think they just sometimes they just the timing's just not right you know like certainly like josie
and the pussycats didn't didn't catch on like some yeah some of those titles really aren't valuable in the current
market like it's it's really you just have to make a good movie and if it happens to have that title
so you think like the smurfs is a good movie well no that one little transformers little kids but i
think that's the thing is like i think you really kind of have to luck into what thing current kids are
going to latch onto the same way the parents did.
Cause that's Smurfs is in my mind,
I would think adults would be like,
I don't want to have anything to do with Smurfs,
but,
but,
but parents always,
they were little when it was popular.
I don't even think that's the,
I think it's just that parents always need something to take their kids to.
And so if,
if something comes out,
right,
they should remake Thundercats comedy and have everyone dressed as cats. No something comes out. They should remake Thundercats.
They are.
And have everyone dressed as cats.
No, I think they are making a Thundercats movie.
Really?
Yeah, but I don't know what shape it's going to take.
You could have Ben Stoller dressed as a cat.
It'd be funny, actually.
I haven't seen a trailer or anything yet,
but I was reading about Tower Heist.
Yeah, I worked on that.
I don't know if you know,
but I read scripts for a long time. I'm sort of just getting out of it but I worked for imagine for a long time yeah so I worked on the development of that
movie just as a reader just just giving notes on it it was it was your first
note you counted you can't call it Trump heist that's what it was gonna be called
well Trump was involved in it at one point he was gonna be in it and then and then
uh they were like maybe we don't i can't i probably shouldn't even be talking about it but
yeah they moved on i do know that it was a tension supposedly gonna be called trump trump heist now
it's just tower heist right now it's just whatever it was it used to take place in trump tower and
then they just moved it to a fictional tower it's just some guy it's uh alan alda plays the rich guy i guess nice and um anyway i just there's i haven't seen
any of it yet but i i'm strangely excited about it like i think that has potential it's exciting
i as an eddie murphy fan from my childhood it's exciting that he's back in a role like like his
early roles like trading places and 48 hours where he's like a streetwise guy who
who you know he's brought in to help these employees pull off a heist because they don't
know what they're doing you know right right he's like the uh he's like he's like motherfucker jones
and horrible bosses that's another one i want to see the jamie fox character kind of teaches
them yeah yeah exactly how to do things yeah uh, so I ended up going with, for the build a title,
just because I've seen it or not want to condone it in any way,
but there's a movie out right now called One Day.
Oh, yeah.
And I think that's a good starting title.
So let's go ladies first.
Matt?
One Day of the Condor wow exactly he's already making it he's already making it
hard on you everybody um okay kate you can do a movie that ends in the word one oh shoot or condor or or door oh door okay
don't you see you're gonna be next yeah or i was gonna say wasn't there a door the explorer movie
i don't know um i think there was actually but i don't know what the uh i'm sure there was a
semicolon and then uh and then more of a title Okay, so we won't go with that one then.
I'll go with the door in the floor.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I thought of that one too.
Oh, now floor.
In the floor.
Yeah, is there any movie
that begins with floor?
I don't think there's a movie
that starts Florida.
No.
Florence in the Hendricks.
Oh, yeah.
Florence.
Did they make that into a movie?
No, that's Harry and the Hendersons.
That's Florence, Henderson, Harry and the Hendersons.
And Florence and the Machines.
Oh, yeah.
You could do a movie that ends in the word one.
Oh, gosh.
Or the number one.
Oh, gosh. word one oh gosh or the number one uh um oh gosh uh
oh i just thought of one oh you okay pass onto you you're out if you pass oh i am yeah you lose
there's nothing at stake okay well then i lose because i can't think of anything um Well, no, I'm not so happy with my choice.
I'll do it anyway.
1941.
Oh. Wow.
1941, Day of the Condor in the Floor.
Is there one
that ends in 19?
This one's
a title.
Love Potion number 1941
Day of the Condor
in the Floor.
That's great.
Nice.
Or as Chris Hardwick would say, amazing.
So anything with love.
Love Potion
number nine, was it?
I loved that movie.
Number 1941.
I was such a Sandra Bullock fan i mean i still
am all right so now you just need some hands in love ah that's easy is it yeah that's crazy
stupid easy um maybe crazy stupid love all right stupid, love potion number 1941.
Day of the condor in the floor.
This is a good one.
Yeah.
What ends with crazy?
I'm sure this movie.
You can help her since she helped you once.
I'm sure there's a movie called Call Me Crazy.
Oh, you're out anyway.
There's a movie called Like Crazy coming out.
But then nothing ends in like, so it kind of ruins it.
That's my turn anyway, right?
Oh, sorry. I'm out.
That's all right.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh!
Oh!
Crazy stupid love potion
number 1941
day of the
condor in the floor Floordinary People.

Oh.
Yeah, so now you've got to end in crazy and begin with people.
Okay.
People.
No, that's a TV show.
I like this game it's fun right
yeah
I feel like I'm gonna have
better luck with crazy
cause people
that's stumping me
yeah

wasn't there like
a Richard Pryor movie

oh yeah that would totally end it is there anything that's like am i like why i'm like
how high am i yeah i'm trying to think of yeah my is a
my is a weird one
I'm trying to think if there's a word that kind of
ends in my like the
way it sounds
but I don't think so
I'm sure there's
folks listening that'll
tweet at me what we overlooked
like people treat it like it was
so obvious.
It's a pretty good one, though.
I think we sort of.
TMI?
Is there a movie called TMI?
If there isn't, there will be.
TMY?
Yeah.
TMI.
Too Much You.
Yeah, that would work.
TMI. Something that ends in my.
Quick, somebody write the script for TMI.
I bet there is.
Me or my.
Anyway, that was a pretty good one.
Yeah. People are crazy. There's got to. Anyway, that was a pretty good one. Yeah.
People are crazy.
There's got to be a movie
that starts with people.
Yeah.
People of the...
Yeah.
Let me plug it into Len Moulton
and see what happens
just out of curiosity.
And then we will play
the Len Moulton game.
People are people.
The movie based on that song.
People of the...
There's got to be
some people of the... Oh there's people versus larry
flint oh yeah there you go and then so i guess i don't need to look it up but that's i mean does
it matter that that's actually the people versus larry flint no you take out the you can take that
out yeah yeah yeah people versus larry flint like interested like What about interested into the wild?
Into the wild.
Flynn to the wild?
Yeah, that works.
To the wild things.
Wow.
Things to do in Denver while you're dead.
Dead ringers.
Oh man, this is ridiculous.
What if we could never stop? We can't. Ringers. Oh. Oh, man. This is ridiculous. Ringers.
What if we could never stop?
We can't.
Ringers.
Ringers is a pretty good stopper, I think.
Ringers.
Because there's no reason for a movie to begin with that word.
Ringers.
Ringers.
Hers.
Hers.
Let's type that in and see what happens.
Hers.
Hers, mine, and ours. Ringers, mine mine and ours
ringers no results according to leonard all right i'm just going to read it then we'll call it we'll
call it a day on this one my first mr crazy stupid love potion number 1941 day of the Condor and the Floordinary People

Flint the Wild's
Things to Do in Denver
When You're Dead Ringers.
Wow. Put that on your
fucking marquee.
Woo!
For those who were asking,
it's time for the Leonard Maltin game.
Matt's setting it up, but for those who were asking,
Marc Maron did not qualify for the Tournament of Championships
in the last episode
because he got a movie
in zero names. He got
Adaptation, and the category
was movies with twins in it.
And he got it in zero names,
but you gotta go negative to get into the Tournament
of Championships now because too many people
are qualifying.
So the pressure is on. You are qualifying. So, yeah.
So the pressure is on.
You've got to step it up, guys.
We've got enough players for a whole other tournament already lined up,
so now it's people just getting alternate slots.
Doug, what would happen?
Because some of the people that are in are way too busy to show up when I need them to.
What would happen if you qualified for the tournament or championship?
I would have to recuse myself, I guess.
Or we could work out some nutty angle, but that would be weird.
It would be.
It would be weird if suddenly I'm competing in the thing.
Yeah, it doesn't feel right.
Yeah, and I would feel terrible if I lost because it is my –
people are always surprised that Leonard Maltin's bad at it,
but he just doesn't – he's got too much of this stuff in his head to remember at all yeah he passed that point of being like he there's
probably a point in his life where he knew he could have done it so well and then he just went
past that point and now it's just like probably a hornet's nest of information tmi yeah he makes
it sound like he just he never really knew he just doesn't have that kind of brain yeah for yeah he said he doesn't have a brain for the the names of everybody but then he likes to list a lot
of names because he does like actors you know that's nice of him yeah all right guys you ready
yes yes here come the categories i don't know who's who's starting do we care um let's start
with uh kate and go around this way and then another thing are we a team or no no you're all
playing individually the three of us.
We'll bid around in this direction
and then every round
we change direction so that it doesn't
create the same dynamic each time.
We'll see.
You guys have been on the show a lot.
I apologize if any of these
ideas have already been, not the movies
but the categories.
Oh, category ideas. It's hard to.
There's only so many. Just yell out if you feel like this is familiar uh
simon and hall that would be for garfunkel and oats that is uh movies with either a garfunkel
with either a simon and garfunkel song or a hall and oats song oh cool a song in the movie yes wow
that's that's tough it could be either on the soundtrack
or someone else
is performing it
or whatever.
And actually,
there's one of these movies
has both.
Oh, wow.
What?
That's not going to help you
because I didn't really
remember that
about that movie.
It just happened.
It was a coincidence.
And the one where it's both
was the Garfunkel...
Was the...
Was the Simon and Garfunkel song
sung by the Lemonheads i'm not gonna answer
that but i think the answer is no because they did a cover of mrs robinson that might have been
in something i think that was in mall rats yeah probably that's not that's not okay anyway uh
another category dynamic duets uh duets meaning female duos that's movies with two female co-leads um also for you guys and then
this is just a leftover example of that would be milo and otis
were they both female i think so okay what if that had been one of mine you would have ruined it
um and then i said that one this is a leftover from the last time i ran the game but it applies
to you guys too uh it's uh rock stars this is movies with pop or rock stars acting in it cool all right god at all so you're obsessed
with music matt loves music do i so i'll pick so you pick a category i'll take the simon and hall
category okay we got 94 98 but we don't do years anymore oh we don't oh okay i mean we we don't choose we he just says
the year and then we i didn't i didn't know i didn't know if we were sticking with that in the
studio or what we're doing it's you know it's it's all right move it along all right well then
pick like the most recent one that's the one most people would pick anyway okay this is 2000... Wait. Unless they're zoning in on something.
Right.
2009.
There's eight names.
And Len gave it two and a half stars.
It's clever at times,
but heavy-handed.
What year?
2009.
And it's got either a Colin Oates or a...
Or the other one in it.
Simon and Garfunkel, yeah.
Wait, what year are we in now?
2011.
Oh, I think I know what it is.
I think I might know, too.
We might have to go into some negative names.
Should I just say negative three?
If you think you can name the top three people in order, top billing?
Negative two.
Negative two.
Okay, so now Ricky has to either go negative three.
I don't know if I can name three in order, though.
I don't know who third billing would be in this movie.
That's a good question, yeah.
I'm nervous.
So you have to either go negative three or you have to get her to do it.
This got serious really quick.
It's funny that we all think we know what the movie is.
And it could totally be wrong.
I'm pretty sure I know what it is.
What would be the third?
It's totally the movie we talked about last year.
Oh, that's hilarious.
You were totally pre-gaming it.
Who would be third?
We know people in this movie.
But who would be the third person though? That is like, who would be, we know people in this movie. If it's the movie,
we're talking about third person though.
That is,
that is like,
who would be next in line?
Uh,
like some father character.
Um,
all right.
You're going to have to possible.
You guys are all thinking of a different.
Yeah,
exactly.
But so since you,
since you're probably not going to be able to think of it.
Yeah.
Okay.
Name that movie.
So you got to name it. Is it to think of it. Yeah, okay, name that movie. So you've got to name it.
Is it 500 Days of Summer?
Well, you have to name the two names.
Oh, shit.
It is 500 Days of Summer.
Oh, yeah.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Billy Deschanel.
Boom!
Who was the third?
Was it Jeffrey Aaron?
Jeffrey Aaron.
That's what I was going to say!
Oh, you both knew it!
I was going to say that, and then I lost confidence.
I would have never pulled that name.
I was just thinking Chloe Grace Moretz.
She's probably like seventh build or something.
She's next.
She is next?
Our friend is in that movie.
I was thinking him, too.
I wasn't sure if it was Matthew or Jeffrey.
Yeah.
He's an Indian dude?
No, he's the other friend.
He's like the doctor friend.
Because he's got two buddies that he is commiserating with all the time.
So Kate's got a point.
By the way, that was the movie that has both.
Hold on.
It's got.
Sound of Silence?
What I Want.
Yeah.
We were talking about that on the way over here.
Oh, and it has a Simon Garfunkel song in it because they kind of parody The Graduate at one point.
It's got You Make My Dreams and Bookends, which I don't even know.
Man, I should have just guessed it.
Damn.
But yeah, we all figured it out from that, that that was a Hall & Oates song in that
musical number.
I mean, that one, because that's one that really stood out as far as a movie with a
Hall & Oates song.
Yeah.
I tried to do ones that like it was, it wouldn't be like just incidental where you wouldn't
even know.
I was like, it's either that or old school.
That was exciting.
What's in old school it's not you know when you get it's a parody of um
that whole dart in the neck scene is so funny just i
i feel weird yeah and what's
the name of the guy
with three names
Sean William Scott
his reaction is so funny
so good
yeah that's a really great
alright Kate's on the board
with a point
that's like a funny scene
in a movie where you could
just watch that scene
and not know any context
not know anything
about the movie
and it's just
a funny scene
totally
it's just funny
I mean that movie
has a few of those
cause anytime a mascot
like catches on fire
when trying to jump to a hoop is hilarious.
Kate's got a point.
She's now an alternate in the
next tournament of championships.
Already?
If Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright,
Jon Hamm, if people like that can't make it,
then you'll be in.
We have a good shot here
oh no
just my luck
they'll all be available
no I don't think so
I'll be waiting for the phone
Mad Men just started
you know
shooting a new season
so I'm not gonna hear
from that guy for
I'm so excited though
8 or 9 months
I wanna be on that show so badly
you're gonna be really good
on that show
fuck they won't let me audition
what do you mean
they won't let you audition
they've never had me like in
are they totally pulling a it's not that they won't it's not that What do you mean they won't let you audition? They've never had me in. Are they totally pulling a...
It's not that they won't.
It's not that they're like,
we don't want her.
It's just I've never
been up for anything.
You look sexy.
I couldn't think of the name
of the lady that showed up
dressed as Catwoman
or Warren.
Oh, Sean.
Oh, Sean Young.
Oh, yeah.
I was going to say,
you're the Sean Young
of Mad Men.
He shows up every day
dressed as...
Hi.
Chain smoking. Yeah. Hey, guys. chain smoking like hey guys let me read just
let me read yeah you'll be blown away yeah okay sorry okay uh so where are we moving on to ricky
so no it starts with me because they went head to head oh good call thank you goes to
kate so do you want uh dynamic duets or um rock? Those are the only three categories we got for the whole game.
Yeah, but there's lots of movies in each one.
Okay.
So we can keep going back.
I know.
Yeah, I don't like any of those categories, though, because I'm not really a music person.
But let's go with the duets thing.
Okay.
This is two female leads.
Yeah.
And we're going to go 87.
Or should I go more?
I like this 87.
I'm going to stick with 87.
Okay.
It's tricky, but you guys are really good at this game,
so I feel like you need a tougher one.
Two women are in it, or two women are in the title?
Or it could be either.
No, not in the title, just two leads.
It's a movie about two women.
A two-fister, as they call it in the business.
Do they call it that? I don't think so they do they shouldn't it's disgusting horrible yeah
um all right so the year is 1987 three stars and um let's see what did leonard say
it's raucously funny. Perfect showcase for the two ladies in the leads.
What year?
87.
How many names?
That's the part I was skipping.
10 names.
10.
Oh, geez.
All right.
I'll knock a few off.
I'll start with like four.
Four names.
I'll go with negative two.
What?
Name that movie.
I don't know. I could be so wrong.
I could be so, so wrong.
You're just going to give it to her like that?
Oh, well, I can't do it negative three
because I don't know what it is.
Oh, wait, but this is the same order.
We did go the wrong way.
Oh, yeah.
I don't know what else to say.
Should have gone the other way. But you didn't know it, right?
But I think I might, but I don't know.
You don't know negative two?
No, I only know two. Alright.
Oh, I think. Oh, wait.
I'm saying if we do the bidding in the right direction,
you could say negative two.
Oh, but then she would say negative three, right? Maybe.
Don't ask her. She doesn't have to reveal that.
It's like poker. But to be in the proper order,
you should go.
Yeah, it's her turn.
Negative two.
She says negative two.
I thought you didn't even know it, though.
This is crazy.
She suddenly thinks she knows it.
Actually, no,
I don't know the third name,
so name that movie.
Postcards from the Edge?
No, sorry.
Oh, is it the one with Bette Midler?
No.
It wasn't the one.
What did you think it was?
I thought it was Thelma and Louise.
Rockously funny.
Rockously funny?
I thought it was maybe that one where Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler switch bodies.
You're so close.
It's Bette Midler and Shelley Long.
And Shelley Long.
Outrageous Fortune?
Outrageous Fortune, yeah.
Rockously funny?
That movie's terrible.
I hit it down to three.
It was that one.
Is it terrible?
I remember liking it.
It's gotta be terrible.
Oh, I thought it was funny when I was a kid.
Doesn't George Carlin show up as an Indian or something?
George Carlin's in it.
Is Thelma and Louise Not funny
It's got funny parts
Well it's hilarious
When they die at the end
Spoiler alert
You know what's so funny
Is I just
The rape scene
Hilarious
I just could picture
The VHS box
At the local movie store
When I was a kid
And I was like
That could have been 87
I don't know if it was
Yeah
A little later I think
But
You guys were so crazy
With the negative names
You didn't even have the right movie.
That was awesome.
That's exciting play.
Okay, so once again, that was...
So she didn't get the point.
I do?
Yeah, because she didn't...
Yeah, because I didn't know it.
She couldn't do it.
Oh.
Shoot, you had gotten it wrong
no matter which direction we went in,
but at least you'd get the point instead of me.
And then...
And then you pick again, right?
Yeah, now we start with V,
and this time we do go to Kate, right? i don't yes we go back to clockwise yes even though
the same thing will probably happen between the two of you again negative seven um all right so
i get to pick again yeah rockstar we just named a bunch of lady duo movies so we probably burned
a lot of them uh you can go back to beaches was
raucously funny um they're not all bett midler movies okay i'll do uh yeah that was funny
switches with her they're twins like lily tomlin and bett midler and they're oh they get put they're
they're both i'm gonna look that up because the city one's in the country big business yeah yeah
risky business i knew I was wrong.
I don't even think, maybe not even big business,
but something about business. No, I think you're right.
Big business. Let me look it up.
I'll go with the rock star
category.
Let me look up the
Bette Midler movie first.
I'll do some plugs. Oh, yeah, go ahead.
My record, Potty Mouth, is coming out on Tuesday, August 30th. Yay! Thank you. our movie first all right i'll do some plugs oh yeah go ahead i got my record potty mouth is
coming out on tuesday august 30th yay thank you uh ricky has a new podcast and then in the
nerdist family i do it's called making it making it it's about uh making it with ricky yeah it's

uh monday the 29th we're at largo with sarah silverman and tasha leggero and jen kirkman so
come on by sounds like a lot of girls of summer sounds like a lot of dicks. Girls of summer. Sounds like a real sausage fest.
And then you must have something out on the road or something.
Coming to Arizona.
Where? September 2nd through 4th.
And then San Francisco at Cobbs the following weekend.
Nice.
And then San Diego, I think, soon?
San Diego.
Gosh, I don't know what that date is. And then Chicago at I think soon San Diego Gosh I don't know What's San Diego
And then Chicago
At the end of September
San Diego
I think we're doing
Somewhere in San Diego
I literally
Google myself
To find out my schedule
I look at our website
To find out where we're going
Because I never know
So
Kate knows our schedule
Better than me
Yeah I think
And we're in Chicago
At the end of September
Which will be awesome
What's that thing you call
Mainstage
M-A-Y-N-E.
Yes.
Have you been there?
It's a beautiful facility.
It's awesome, right?
It's beautiful.
Really nice.
It's kind of a weird spot, but it's nice.
It is kind of off the beaten track.
It's over by, it's kind of in Evanston more than Chicago.
It's like North Chicago, they call it sometimes.
Ah.
But it's good.
You'll have a good time there.
I'm going to be at Crackers in Indianapolis,
Comedy Attic in Bloomington, Indiana,
Louisville Improv, but all my tour dates
are at Douglovesmovies.com. What was
the answer? It's called Big Business? Big Business.
Two sets of twins are mismatched and
separated at birth. Hilarious.
So like Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler are both
playing two parts and they both
sets grew up together
separately. One in the country one of
the city yeah it's like um it's kind of like that paris hilton show with a simple life with
nicole richie yeah yeah but there's two sets double double it double it and have them switch
but it's it's all like you know i haven't seen it in forever yeah i might have saw it when it
came out but it's all stuff like you know this pair of twins doesn't know how to operate a washing machine dripping in diamonds
yeah that's ridiculous okay so uh i'll take the rock star category got it um okie doke 2002
um how many names i have to count them uh 10 just 10 names and uh let's see what we have here
familiar underdog formula but uh it's got grit and resonance
10 names 2002 oh i'm sorry three stars three stars from lynn
for this movie that has a rock star in some role.
And the year is?
2002.
And the rock star is?
I can't say that part.
Ten names?
Yeah.
I'll start at seven.
All right.
And this time we go to Kate.
Oh, jeez. You think you know it again no i don't know
i think i might i i'm not sure how about uh you said seven yeah oh gosh five uh two
what are the clues again uh it's let's see it's an underdog uh formula but it's got grit and resonance it's from 2002
three stars and there is a pop rock or other star in in the movie yeah
i just i fear one name is going to just leave me in such a hole that I can't survive.
But I think the two-name bid is pretty confident.
I got to say name it.
You got two names.
And I think you'll know at least one of these people.
Taryn Manning.
That's the one.
And Anthony Mackie.
Maybe you know him, too. I don't know. I, I know. That's the one. And Anthony Mackie. Maybe you know him, too.
I don't know.
I think I know.
Oh.
I was thinking.
It was great.
Oh, what is that movie?
It's like, it's hard out there for a poop.
Is that the one?
No, I think it's a different movie.
I'm going to get a point.
This is going to be an exciting three-way tie.
Is it Crossroads?
Britney Spears?
I know she was in that.
Tara Manning was in that.
She probably had higher billing than that, though.
I thought it was.
No?
Britney Spears would have been the top billing.
Oh.
No, well, that's the bottom.
Oh, it's the bottom.
Right.
Oh, I'm forgetting how that thing works.
Going bottom up.
No.
I'll keep going and see if you guys. it the pimp movie that Craig Brewer directed
I thought it was 8 Mile
it is 8 Mile
that's why I said I thought it was 8 Mile
but then I thought the names were flipped
I said that
I didn't hear you say that
outsmarted yourself
I didn't know it was the bottom two
damn it
that's how it always works you it was the bottom two Damn it That's how it always works
You read from the bottom up
But when you name the movie
When you name it you gotta go the other way
Man I was like I think it's 8 mile
If you said negative 2 then you'd have to go
Eminem
It would be Eminem and Kim Basinger
No Kim Basinger is number 2
Alright It's all tied up one a piece That was so stupid and Kim Basinger? Brittany Murphy. Yeah. No, Kim Basinger is number two, yeah.
All right.
It's all tied up.
One apiece.
That was so stupid.
I think it's eight miles,
but no.
Crossroads.
Yeah, Makai Pfeiffer's in there. He should be second.
How did I mess that up?
I was thinking that
at first I thought
it was eight miles as well,
but then I got confused
the same way you did.
I thought the names
were switched around.
All right, it's a three-way tie.
We each have one point. This is not this so wait now yeah kate picks right
because you guys between us yeah and then it'll come my way after kate do you want another simon
and hall do you want another uh dynamic duets let's do another simon and hall okay i'm gonna go to old school do you want i like when you guys pick the year but because like i like having the choice
taken out of my hands but do you want easy now i don't load a bunch of them i just load yeah
you want hard okay 2005 seven names one and a half stars. Oh, gosh.
Premises icky without being pointed.
I thought that was a funny thing to say in a review.
Icky without being pointed?
Yeah.
How many names did you say?
Seven.
It's vaguely gross, I think, is what he's saying.
That might be misleading, though.
I'll go with... What's the other...
The premise is icky.
Yeah.
Without being icky.
It's... I don't think I The premise is icky. Yeah. Without being icky. It's...
I don't think I want to go any further with that,
but it's one and a half stars, 2005, seven names.
And it's...
icky.
The premise is icky.
That might be misleading.
Yeah.
I feel bad for giving you that clue.
What's the year?
2005.
I'll give you one more.
Pretty close to grave robbing, says Len.
Oh, interesting. Pretty close to grave robbing, says Len. Oh, interesting.
Pretty close to grave robbing.
Six names.
Five names.
Four.
Ah, shoot.
Wait, wait, we went the wrong way again.
Oh, we did?
Yeah, yeah, because it goes back around this way.
Six names. You're used to the old way again. We did? Yeah, because it goes back around this way. Six names.
You're used to the old way.
I'll say five.
Four.
Three names.
Wow.
It's icky and you get three names.
I could really take this.
Two names.
I don't know if I could pull it off.
I thought you were saying two names. You're contemplating two names. I don't know. I don't know if I could pull it off. Oh, I thought you were saying two names.
No, I'm contemplating two names.
Yeah, yeah.
Because if I say two, I'm going to probably have to name it.
But that'll be an exciting ending.
I'll say two.
Name it.
Well, the good news is you know these actors.
Okay.
The bad news is you probably don't remember this
movie uh but you'll have like uh manis suvari and christopher mcdonald some call him shooter
manis suvari christopher mcdonald who who is in in the aforementioned Tellment Louise.
Right, that's true.
He was the bad husband, right?
No confirmation on whether he was the bad husband?
Oh, man.
It was icky the premise just the mere the mere idea of this story was yeah it's icky
and minas avari's and it's seventh build pretty close to grape robbing seventh build like
probably like fourth or fifth build in american beauty and then
i'll give you the well i don't know i this isn't fair you don't have to give me anything
well the ricky wins fair and square the grave robbing line is um
maybe a little misleading because the full sentence was if blank were dead
oh if blank didn't still live this would be pretty close to grave robbing
but it's not a person
i shouldn't have even this is very confusing yeah but once you once you hear it you'll be like
all right we'll just uh we'll declare ricky the winner and just name some more names okay uh richard jenkins this is like packed with richard jenkins is awesome richard jenkins
mark ruffalo shirley mclean okay wait a second stop for a second it's only two left this is
crazy kevin costner this is crazy kevin costner and jenn? Yes. She's getting married.
Rumor has it.
Oh, that was the part I should have been hammering is that it
either has a Hall & Oates or Simon & Garfunkel
song in it. And of course
because it's sort of about
The Graduate or it's about
supposedly who The Graduate was based on.
It's Kevin Costner's character. Rumor has it.
Wow. Yeah, rumor has it. yeah rumor oh yeah icky is right and
grave robbing because you know the the people that made the graduate are still alive yeah well
the movie the movie lives you know and looms large in everyone's conscience and i don't think they
really they must have had some kind of permission from someone somewhere that was highly confusing
yeah yeah premise grave robbing i was like is it like a thing where they like cut open his body and also like did you want it hard or this is that was the hardest
man suvari had such shitty billing like now i remember yeah she was in that she had a pretty
pointless role i mean the whole thing was pointless it was such a horrible movie like
one and a half stars is also super generous let's let Let's clean the palette with something that isn't so confusing and misleading.
Yeah, you want to play one for no points?
Sure.
Yeah, Ricky wins.
Okay, write down on this piece of paper
who you'd like me to call a shithead at the very end.
Anybody?
Yeah, anybody.
Anybody?
I'm going to go back to, because we only did one from this category, I'm going to go back to,
because we only did one from this category,
I'm going to go back to that.
I'm bad at calling people a shithead.
Well, you can, you know,
it can be an inanimate object.
It could be like flowers are a shithead.
Somebody on the last show said apps are a shithead.
Oh, yeah, yeah, okay.
Any of the new candidates for president?
No, that's, yeah.
Well, let me, I'll think on the shithead thing.
Are we going to play another round?
Do you want to do one?
You got to think on it?
Yeah, I really do.
How about no one is a shithead?
Oh, yeah.
That's such a sweet one.
Hold on.
The concept of this thing
that I'm doing is a shithead.
Naming a shithead is a shithead.
Oh, I like that one.
I might have
misspelled it,
but that's all right.
Okay, so
do you want to do
one more just for fun?
Sure, yeah.
You guys have
an audition to get to.
Well, we can do
one more and then
let's do it.
2008,
Dynamic Duets,
two female leads,
13 names,
two and a half stars.
It's
bland, but certainly watchable,
says Len, and I think he's being too hard.
What's the category
again? Dynamic Duets,
two female leads. Okay, two female leads.
It's bland.
How many names? 13
for some reason
he went crazy
on the names
for this one
where do we start
this time
we start with Kate
oh we do
oh
but we go
this way
let's do
because that was
going that way
six names
six names
I want to say
name that movie
I feel like it's
really going to be hard
name that movie. I feel like it's really going to be hard.
Name that movie.
Wow.
Whoa.
Okay, here we go.
I say wow too much, I just realized.
Six?
Yeah.
Okay.

I think you guys know.
Mm-hmm.
Holland Taylor.
Oh, jeez.
How many?
Is that five?
Am I at five now?
Five, I think, yeah.
She gets six names?
And Maura Tierney.
Jesus.
Wow.
Boy, you're one shy of a real giveaway.
Really?
Dang it.
Maura Tierney.
Is that 13 names? Too it. Laura Tierney.
Is that 13 names?
Too many.
2008?
2008.
Two female leads.
I think Lynn was, I think it was better than two and a half stars, frankly.
Oh, gosh.
One name away from a giveaway.
I, you know what? I think so.
I don't what I don't
I don't
I could sit here all day
I know
what do you think it is
oh yeah
I don't read lips
I think you're right
what
but I won't
I'll give up
because I think Ricky
Ricky
has it
but one of you said
is it Baby Mama
it is Baby Mama
yay
good job
was Dax Shepard
the next name
no Steve Martin
Steve Martin as the Martin as the boss.
As the boss.
Greg Kinnear.
Steve Steeler.
Yeah, Greg Kinnear's in it.
Obviously, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
Man.
Dax Shepard, Romany Malco.
It's a good cast.
I like that movie.
It's a funny movie, yeah.
I actually set out to do three,
I tried to find three comedies with two female leads,
and I couldn't find the third one.
In the history of movies. In the history of film. Yeah. No i was trying to keep it like somewhere in the 80s 90s but
uh no but even if you did go through the history of film be hard yeah that's why my third one was
going to be uh thelma and louise but you guys uh uh you guys were all over that even in the wrong
year we went all over the place today didn't we we, guys? It's been an adventure. We really did go places
while never moving,
and I'd like to thank Matt Belknap
for putting that game
together. I could play
and lose once again, proving that
even a smarty pants like me
is terrible at this game.
So don't feel bad if you don't know the answers.
