Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby sticky seeds, with 50 ads and popcorn kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies.
He almost held on there.
Oh man, I don't know the words.
Hey everybody, my name is Doug and I love movies.
This is Doug Loves Movies, a no-audience edition coming to you from Never Not Funny Studios
on Monday, February 28th to Ocean's Eleven, the day after the Academy Awards.
I predicted Portman, Firth, Leo, and Bale.
You heard it on one of the recent podcasts, and so did everybody else, so that's not really
that impressive.
But more on that in a second.
If you have a South by Southwest badge, you can get into my Doug Loves Movies, Benson Interruption, and stand-up shows in Austin, Texas, March 12th through the 19th.
And also pop into a couple other shows while I'm there.
So look for me walking around.
stand up at the mcglowen i think that's how it's pronounced mcglowen theater at spirit square in charlotte north carolina on friday march 24th two oceans 11 and doug loves movies live in portland
oregon is available for your ears to enjoy for just two dollars on itunes should be there now
or soon and thanks in advance to all of you who buy that shit. Oh, and finally, I screwed up.
I plan to do a Benson Interruption podcast taping on March 7th at Largo in Los Angeles,
but I'll actually be in an airplane in that time, so that'll be a bad time for me to do a show.
So that show's been rescheduled to March 21st.
March 21st, Largo, Benson Interruption.
I've already got some amazing guests,
and that, of course, will also be a podcast you can get for two bucks on iTunes.
And my guests today are Doug Loves Movies favorites,
Sam Levine and Garfunkel and Oates.
Hello!
Whose favorite am I?
Dude, when I did a poll on Twitter, you did pretty good.
I don't know about that.
I looked through some of those results.
I think I read three for me. All Twitter, you did pretty good. I don't know about that. I looked through some of those results. I think I read three for me.
All three of you did pretty well.
And one of them said specifically not Sam Levine.
I remember reading that one.
When people write that, I probably just block that person immediately
because that is super not cool.
You're very sweet.
I don't get when anybody writes to me on Twitter and goes,
I love your show, but so-and-so was a douche on it
or this guy sucks on it.
I'm just like, I always write back, that's
my friend. Blocked.
So, like, I don't
know how they don't get the idea that, you know,
like, every once in a while I'll have a virtual
stranger on the show, but usually that person
is a fancy actress or something.
It would be weird if someone was like, I love your show,
but Elizabeth Shue was such a bitch.
Don't ever have her on.
Well, she was. No. No, she wasn't. She was hilarious. She was such a bitch. Don't ever have her on. Well, she was.
No, she wasn't.
She was hilarious.
She was a damn delight.
I don't know if you guys heard it.
You probably didn't hear it,
but she yelled side boob
and raised her hands over her head quite a few times.
Nice.
But also, Garfunkel Notes,
I should say your actual names are
Ricky Lindholm and Kate McCucci.
And just like the last time we did an in-studio
episode and you girls weren't here is that girls is all right isn't it girls is all right yeah
totally well coming from it depends who and who comes from with you it's fine if it's from like
someone creepy then it's like yeah yeah what's up girls that's never good how's it going girls we're like if sam said it you'd be bummed
out yeah hey girls how you doing um yeah the last time that i did the show with sam in studio
he ran the leonard malton game and i got to play and so we're gonna do that again today
yeah i'm very excited about that because you guys are good at it he gave day he gave me the heads up, I couldn't wait to prep it.
I'm good at everyone, but the first one I played with you was Bond movies,
which I don't think I've ever actually seen a Bond movie,
so I was terrible the first time.
I haven't seen one either.
But I still won by default.
Yeah, no, that's the beauty of it is you really don't need to know.
You just have to make the other person guess.
It works out pretty good.
But first, let's talk Oscars.
Oscars happened yesterday here in Los Angeles.
I watched it alone because I like to tweet during the entire thing and not be at some
party where you have to constantly tell people to be quiet so I can hear what dumb things
are being said that I can tweet about.
And then I go to a party right after, as soon as it's over.
Vanity Fair?
No, TJ Miller.
Oh, I was at TJ's during the Oscars.
You were?
I was.
When did you leave?
I left probably like halfway through.
Okay.
Because they started it late on TiVo, which just drives me crazy.
If I had been an actual guest at that party, if I had gotten there at 5 or 5.30, when did
it start?
5.30?
He started at 6.30.
If I had gotten there at 5.30 and they were like, yeah, we we're gonna start it an hour later and just run it on tivo and as long as we all stay in this
room no one will know what happens you can't watch an event like that an hour behind of course not
you can't even check your phone no i'll be people will be texting you can you believe that and
you're like oh no i don't believe anything that's what happened to me i already know like 10 answers
and they're like here do the oscar pool thing and I'm like, well, I can't.
That's the dumbest Oscar pool ever.
Let's fill that out
after all the awards have been given out.
But also, yeah, it was very frustrating
because also to live tweet the event,
which I like to do
because it really annoys some of my followers.
You know, you can't be an hour behind
what's happening.
What's funny about that?
Look at that dress.
That'd be funny.
You just have to get lucky that another funny dress comes along.
It would be that moment where James Franco came out in a dress.
Because I actually did tweet at one point, what the hell is happening?
And it might have been during that.
Because why, does anybody know why James Franco came out dressed like Marilyn Monroe?
And all for about five seconds.
Because she was in a tux.
Yeah, there was no schtick once he came out.
No.
Well, men in drag is so funny.
Oh, that's so hilarious.
Hilarious and original.
You guys remember
when Bob Hope did that?
It was really great.
Yeah, because he didn't
tell some jokes
while still dressed as a woman.
He doesn't just come out
and go,
I'm dressed as a woman.
That's the whole show,
everybody.
Good night.
Well, he did point out
that she was dressed in a tux
in case we didn't
get it as an audience member.
Why was she dressed in a tux?
Just so he could have a reason to dress in a tux?
She sang a number.
What song did she sing?
Something from Les Mis.
She sang something from Les Mis, which has not been filmed as a musical, I don't believe.
No.
They're going to do it, though.
They should.
They're talking about it.
They absolutely should.
But she could be in it.
But why is she singing that on the Oscars about how Hugh Jackman won't do a bit with her,
won't sing a song with her?
I'm sure he would.
He was like, what?
I can't wait for him to jump up and sing his part.
Like she did. But also, why is that
always the go-to song for girls? Like, do you remember
the Dawson's Creek episode where
Joey King was like, on my own
pretending he's sorry.
I love that when she did that.
She should have sang the Castle on the
Cloud song if she's going to sound like she's eight.
Oh, gosh. she should have sang the castle on the cloud song if she's gonna sound like she's eight oh gosh i used to love that song i used to cry listening to that song i was very dramatic oh my gosh it's a great song it's a really good song like it should replace whatever lullabies people
are using these days i i don't want to name drop but i have to to tell the story about where i was
last night i went to the Night of 100 Stars.
It was my second year in a row going to this party.
Do you know what this is?
No, I don't.
It's ridiculous how many people were there.
You'd be like, oh, that guy and that guy.
I sat at table number 50.
But a star, you should know their name and not just be like that.
No, no, no.
I sat at table number 50.
Let me tell you who was at my table.
Rich Little, Loretta Devine, and Buzz Aldrin. No, no, no. I sat at table number 50 and let me tell you who was at my table. Rich Little,
Loretta Devine,
and Buzz Aldrin.
Oh, those guys.
Wow.
Those guys.
Next to us
was Ivan Drago himself,
Dolph Lundgren.
Right.
He was sitting with Robert Wool.
Ed Asner was over there.
Ernest Borgnine
was at the table next to me.
What year was this party?
This was last night.
That's nuts.
Oh, there were so many wonderful people there.
Whenever I'm at something where there's that many,
when you ask me later, I cannot begin to recall.
I wanted to write them down because I knew who they all were.
Yeah, that's right.
That's my heart.
Alan Thicke.
Impressive.
You can find Robert Carradine was behind me on the red carpet,
and I was like, I'm going to get shooed along,
because everyone wants Skolnick on the red carpet.
Wow.
But it's a night of 100 stars that people under 25 can't name,
like if they saw them.
Maybe.
I don't know who half those people are that you said.
Or they would know if they saw them.
Like Loretta Devine, you'd know if you saw her.
She was in Waiting to Exhale or something.
She was great.
She was in probably a Tyler Perry movie or two.
I liked her on that Boston
Public.
Were you ever a student on that? I was.
Did you get hazed or something?
But here's what I did get.
I got yelled at for
in one take I said the word
the as the and then in another take I I said the word the as the, and then in another take,
I went the, and the script supervisor comes over and says-
Got up in your shit about that?
And the script supervisor's like, you have to say it, the.
And I went, really?
And David Kelly is standing right behind her, and she walked back over, and I almost saw
her mouth like, he got it.
Don't worry about it.
And I was like, oh, he hates me.
I will never come back on this show
we never ever ever cut down a lot considerably yeah yeah i shot like a whole bunch of scenes
they aired because you switched the the to the yeah i i did one day of extra work in my entire
life and it was for that show i had to be a homeless girl and i sat next to a man who i
think probably was really homeless and he he told me how they really didn't land on the moon
wow well he should have been in
the party last night all the big secrets like that that's why they're homeless they lost their
job trying to convince people i have like a weird history with homeless people and there's a guy
this homeless man who punched me in the face about five years ago and i am not kidding when i tell
you i see him once a week and i almost think he's imaginary he like lives quote unquote on my street and so
every time i walk to starbucks walk to the corner i see this guy at least once a week do you think
he knows who you are oh yeah he knows he punched you yes i think so because he he was the first
time he saw me after it was like two years when i didn't see him and then then i see him and i'm
on a side street and I just started screaming at him
because he started
walking toward me again
and I'm like
I'm on to you
I know who you are
I know how to get a hold of you
but I just started screaming
like nonsensical things
and then he got scared
and walked away
and then hasn't messed with me since
but has messed with people
I'm with
he's like pushed people
who are next to me
oh I want to be next to you
I want to have an excuse
to
you want to like the homeless
or tussle with this guy now is there any way to make that story about the movies
uh no no that was the original plot of the movie sideways
they based that uh that that guy was uh jamie fox's character was based on him for the uh
what was that called? Oh, the soloist. Yes.
Oh, I never thought of that before.
He was a soloist as a performer, but also as a human being.
That's right.
He was on his own.
And the TV show The Walking Dead is actually about the living.
They're the walking dead.
Get it?
What?
No spoilers.
No, it's not a spoiler.
It's just something you got to think about. You think about it.
Again, that has nothing to do with movies.
Well, there are zombie movies.
What did you guys do for the Oscars last night?
I went to T.J. Miller's house.
Oh, that's right.
Watched it with a bunch of comedians.
I don't know why I looked at you when I said that.
Kate, what did you do?
I went to my cousin's house.
He lives right on the beach.
He convinced his parents that was the only safe neighborhood in L.A.,
so his backyard is the ocean. so he cooked us chicken parmesan my brother my cousins it was
nice it was a family affair then you just said watched it yeah and i actually was watching
twitter as it was going along which i i you were great and um there were a lot of funny people
thank you you were great you were great you were great last night really funny well it's i really
enjoy it because it's it's just a great opportunity to, like,
every time I've ever watched the Oscars,
I've sat there and made my smart-ass comments to some laughter
with the people I'm watching it with.
But now I can do it for, you know, 20, 30 people that are on Twitter
following me and paying attention.
Well, and I like it, too.
All these people that I, you know, it's like all your friends are on there and even people
who aren't.
Yeah, I don't really take the time to read everybody else's because it's like, you know,
that's, I just read the at replies because everyone who complains about me tweeting too
much during the Oscars gets blocked.
Because I say before I do it, I'm going to be tweeting a lot, so just go ahead and unfollow
for the day.
And there's still some dipshit who'll write to me,
you're clogging up my phone with all your tweets
about the stupid Oscars.
It's like, why are you following me?
Does that person have their phone set
to all your tweets come in as a text?
I think some people do.
What an asshole.
Some people do, and then complain.
They can't change that.
They can't fix it.
I didn't realize that was a possibility,
that you can have a tweet come in as a text.
Yeah.
Anybody I follow, when they text something with my name in it, it comes up on my phone.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
Wow.
And that's too much.
Yeah.
Good thing you don't follow Kevin Smith.
Just kidding.
He tweets a lot.
He doesn't follow.
He tweets quite a lot.
He doesn't follow me or say anything about me.
He did say that I'm going to be on his podcast in March,
but we're waiting to hear from his people about it.
So if you're one of Kevin's people and you haven't contacted us,
let us know because Kevin says I'm going to be on in March.
But a little bit more about the Oscars,
and then we'll play some games.
Well, I just wonder how long it's going to be
until people forget what movie won the Oscar this year. I i think some people forget immediately some people forget while it's
happening yeah you know it's like it's not that important to people and that's what's weird about
the tv show the oscars is they need big ratings and what matters to people is not what's going
to win unless like they say it was down 7% or something like that from last year,
which to me just says, you know, Avatar was a bigger movie last year,
so a few more people tuned in to root for it or whatever.
There wasn't much to root for this time.
Like even people who like the social network or the fighter aren't really like, oh, it better win.
It has to win.
I wanted social network to win so bad.
It was the best movie, I think.
It really was.
I'm really glad it won best score, though. I wanted Social Network to win so bad. It was the best movie, I think. It really was. I'm really glad
it won Best Score, though.
I think that score is awesome.
Yeah, and it won
Editing, too,
which is, you know,
it was an interesting movie
in terms of the time structure.
Why wasn't The Town
even nominated
for Best Picture?
That movie was so good.
You know,
I think Winter's Bone
got its spot
would be the conventional wisdom.
And I liked Winter's Bone,
but The Town was more of a,
like, it's weird that The Town didn't get in there because it was so it's just such a movie star movie like
you know like it's it really is like a bunch of iconic figures sort of running around toy story
three see that's what it should have been them instead of toy story three because that everyone
knew was going to win best animated feature yeah, that's the big argument that people make now for a couple years running,
that it's just like, that's a wasted slot for an animated movie,
because if it's good enough to be in the top ten,
then it's going to win the animated category for sure.
So it's all kind of weird.
Everyone booed at the party I was at when that won,
because T.J. Miller is in How to Train Your Dragon.
Yeah.
So everyone was like, boo, twice, twice.
What did James Franco say about, he said some sort of dirty comment about that title,
and Anne Hathaway totally seemed like she was caught off guard by it.
Did you see that?
Yeah.
It was like running a train on your dragon was the reference, I believe.
Is that what he said?
I don't remember.
First he said Winter's Bone, and then Rabbit Hole, and then How to Train Your Dragon.
Who said all that
franco said it to and like in a bit together and then he said something like sounds dirty and then
she seemed a little bit like oh geez yeah no i think she was like acting like that was that was
what was so aggravating to me about them like people are saying they were terrible and it's
just like well they can only be so good with what they were given they were the ideas they were
doing like presenter banter but they are the hosts like the very first thing they say to each other is like
so isn't it great to be here yeah i love it when i'm here because blah blah and it's like they're
having this fake written telepromptered conversation in front of the audience so all they can do is
just act it and james franco can't act interested enough in it. And Anne Hathaway acts like, you know, over the top interested in it.
Like, let's put on a show, you know?
And so it's just, I found the whole thing just frustrating because I don't dislike them.
It's weird to be like mad at them, but I kind of still am.
You need to have Brian Posehn on your podcast.
Because he helped write that stuff.
Yeah, he was a writer for additional
segments, as was Neil Brennan.
But they probably wrote that stuff
where they were inserted in the movies, which was fine,
but MTV's done that
every year for years and years.
And Billy Crystal used to do it,
but it was a
much kind of
bigger approach.
He'd be in the craziest scenes. He'd be in the craziest scenes.
He'd be in the scene where
in English Patient where the plane crashes
and he'd be running from it or whatever.
Whereas this was them just sort of sitting
there talking to people in social network
and people from...
There wasn't that much exciting
about it. You could almost hire those actors
to sit down and do a scene with them.
Why do they need to be inserted in the movie if it's not some big iconic moment that is impossible
to recreate because all about james franco's people were like you can have him for one day
to shoot stuff for the for the intro yeah but i don't know they just could have it had some funny
parts i guess but i liked kirk douglas yeah well that was that was really interesting i was i was
thinking the rest of the show should just be all uh old people who are hard to understand and who
are willing to hijack the show with their jokes and be like yeah i remember when i had to wait
and they didn't say my name that was so funny do you remember when melissa leo uh uh when uh kirk
douglas like sold her how beautiful she was?
Oh, you're so much more beautiful than you are in the movie.
And then she was like, hey, what are you doing later?
I'm not doing anything.
I like to pretend that Melissa Leo fucked Kirk Douglas last night.
That she found him at the Vanity Fair party and he was like, I'm going to the Elton John party.
You want to roll with me?
And they just boned in the limo on the way.
She's not that much prettier than she was in the movie. She still looks like
Melissa Leo.
I think she's not a bad looking girl.
She's alright, but you know what I mean?
The wig was the only difference, really.
It's not like they did other stuff to her.
That's impressive. Now you need less
to win the Oscar.
Nicole Kidman had to wear a fake nose.
Now you just need a wig.
My theory about Melissa Leo is that she's just a complete wingbird
actress.
And like, that's why she's so amazing.
Like, just like Christian Bale can like disappear into the character.
But then like just her own personality is just like.
And how about Christian Bale plugging that guy's website?
And they let it go.
And they let it go, which is insane.
Yeah, that's weird.
You don't hear a lot of plugging of websites.
A website and a thank you sign.
From the Academy Awards.
But also, you should only plug a website when the website is not obvious.
Like, DickEcklund.com.
Oh, you're kidding.
That's the website?
Anyone could have found it.
It was cool that the real guy was there, though.
And they finally put him and his brother up in the balcony.
Because if you remember at the Globes, when Christian Bale went to say thank you for his speech,
Zig Eglinton ran onto the stage and was trying to accept it as his own.
Or maybe that was the SAG Awards, but it was really uncomfortable.
I think it might have been the SAGs, because I didn't see the SAGs.
Do you remember a few years ago, they mentioned Mickey Rooney at the Oscars,
and then the camera was trying ago they mentioned Mickey Rooney at the Oscars and then
the camera was trying desperately to find Mickey Rooney
and they finally, I think he was in the back, back,
back row. Yeah, it was sad how far away
he was from the stage. I was like, oh, Mickey Rooney.
It could have worked out better.
Ernest Borgnine yelled at me.
Yesterday? Yesterday. I was trying to take a photo with him.
And his wife. Oh, and he didn't want it?
You just did one of those sat down next
to him and stuck your camera out?
No, he was standing up
and I was like,
I was very polite about it.
I was like, Mr. Borgnine,
could I get a photo?
He's like, what?
Yeah, sit fast.
And then my friend
was trying to take the photo
but then there were so many people
crossing in between us
and there was only a foot of space.
He was like, do it, honey.
Do it, do it.
Hurry up.
Come on.
And I'm like,
I know a lot about you,
Ernest Borgnine,
because of that segment
on Fox and Friends. Do now because that segment on fox and friends
do you remember that segment douglas yeah uh he he whispered to somebody that he masturbates a lot
right he has a he had a lapel mic and he didn't whisper it he leaned in and went i masturbate a
lot yeah yeah yeah in the creepiest old man voice yeah that was that was a really funny clip. Yeah, see, he can't call us girls.
I think he's
93 or 94 years old.
But, I mean, you know, yelled at you.
That seems like a pretty good reason
to yell at a person
if he wanted to get it over with
quickly and then there was a lot of
fumbling around.
That's what happens to me a lot. Yes, there's no fumbling
though. Or anybody. Like, it happens to you, right? Where somebody's like,
can I get a picture? And then no one knows how to operate
their stupid camera. And you have to stand
there and try to be nice about it. But then they start
to get nervous and they start to say,
they start to over-apologize.
Or they get real like,
if you start to seem at all agitated,
they'll suddenly get into that mode of like,
oh, you can't just just hang on
a second mr big shot well it's weirder for kate and i because we always do pictures with our eyes
closed that's our joke so kate and i will be like smiling and then they were there forever and we
don't know what's happening because we can't see them fumbling and so we're just waiting and waiting
and then we're like is it over i thought you were gonna say they always go can we do it again your
eyes were closed oh people have done that yeah and we're like, we did that on purpose.
Sometimes if there's a flash,
you can sort of still see the flash
even though your eyes are closed.
But otherwise, no, we don't know when it's done.
People don't tell us.
I'm glad I know that
because I'm going to ask to get a picture with you
and then steal your stuff.
The only reason you even said that, by the way,
is because Mickey Rooney also yelled at me
many years earlier
when I tried to get a photo with him.
He was an angry old man.
Yeah, I mean, those guys,
people have taken pictures of them for their entire lives.
Yes.
I still get a little bit of joy out of it,
but they must be like so over it.
Mickey refuses to have a photo taken
without his wife Jan Rooney in it.
FYI.
That's kind of sweet.
Oh, that's good to know for when I never do that.
Matt Belknap, he's writing that down in his journal right now he's like noted
uh okay so we covered the hosts there weren't really any snubs it was pretty
uh how about cory hayne being left out of in memoriam yeah that was kind of weird
it is kind of weird but it's also they they end up having
this argument every year or this response to the public outcries of who was left out because i
think they left out they left out somebody pretty weird uh you know somebody pretty prominent last
year and it's um they don't they don't show everybody if just because you're in the film
industry and you die doesn't mean you're going to get in that montage.
He was a movie star.
He was, and then he was not a movie star for a long time
before dying in a somewhat embarrassing fashion.
Yeah, but look at Dennis Hopper, for God's sake.
Look at him.
Yeah, he was a huge star when he died,
but how many years in his career...
He was in movies in every decade of his life.
Yes, but how many years of his life was he just was he a husband was he
left for dead well that's the thing if cory hayman figured out a way to make a comeback like being in
david lynch movie or whatever whatever movie it was and turn it around for hopper or hoosiers i
guess maybe when he was in hoosiers that might have been it because he got nominated for that
like you know haym could have had something like that but he didn't so he ended up just being a like it'd be like paying tribute to a reality star it's like if they showed a
a dead kardashian oh god but no i mean i i could see either side of this argument and also
but to me the bottom line is who really cares really cares? And this year, they told the audience to not clap at all, clearly,
because there was no clapping the entire time.
Because usually you see the favorite.
And usually, yeah.
And that's another reason why Dennis Hopper made the montage,
because the audience went nuts when his face came up.
When Corey Haim came up, if this had been a year where clapping was allowed,
I doubt there would have been much clapping.
Yeah.
It would have been a little.
Maybe.
Michelle Williams Williams I think
maybe a group or two or you want was hey Corey him okay it's kind of an older
crowd maybe they'd be Lucas fans or something I thought that's a that's a
sad thing about Corey Hames I really I thought he was great for the first you
know three or four things he was in I was really a fan and then he just he did
that you know that video for his fans
and stuff
where he was just clearly
myself and I
clearly off the rails
to go lit
you won't be sorry
is that the one where he
says he's ready to come back
to work
yes
it's really bad
it's like it's
it's when things were starting
to you know
the studios or whatever
had lost interest in him
but it just
it's supposed to be his day
but it's like him it's him laying on a raft in the pool it's him uh playing tennis and it's all the things he's
doing he's always looking at the camera and you know talking up like you know how great he is at
everything and how awesome he is and how awesome his life is it's really sad and hilarious wow
and he does there's a lot of him at a at a organ an electric organ and i think
i might be misquoting him but i he just starts talking about all the different styles of music
he likes to play he's like throwing around the weirdest you know i like to play japanese funk and
chinese fusion or whatever you know he's just practically making up names for song genres
and he goes i just like to jibba jabba at the keyboard and stuff like that.
Like, he was just, like, trying too hard to act like an adult at 16.
If you can get your hands on a copy, it's pretty amazing.
I think it's online.
At least it was.
It was hilarious when he was alive, but now that he's dead, I would feel kind of sad watching it.
Yeah, it's funny.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's not as hilarious.
Yeah.
All right.
So, I don't...
Maybe I'll say some more about the Oscars next week or something, but
you know, it's always, how long was this one?
Three and a half?
Yeah, it was up there.
Yeah.
It was just under, it was like three and a half.
It was still way under the hour mark though.
They still ended it like kind of at a weird time.
So that's why I think they brought out those kids and had them sing and stuff.
I liked that, the ending.
And I liked that all the winners were on the stage at the end.
I'm pretty sure those kids were lip-syncing, by the way.
No.
Watch it again.
I watched it again today.
Really?
Watch the body language on some of those kids as they're singing.
The histrionics from these kids as they're supposedly singing all in unison.
I was like, that does not match up.
Some of them look like they are barely keeping up with the music.
I mean, granted, there were a lot of them, so it's possible.
Well, but that's a lot of kids, yeah.
So there's, you know, I don't know.
Have you seen their YouTube videos, though?
I haven't.
Oh, they're pretty amazing.
I'm sure they're great.
Whenever I was in a choir, I would always just move my mouth and not really match anything.
I totally did that.
Because I was scared to sing with everybody else because I can barely sing.
But when I do, I've got to be alone.
Like, other people singing other parts around me I can't I lip sync through
all the high school musicals
yeah in the chorus
lip syncing you know to Oklahoma
just my mouth moving I would always lose my voice
so I'd end up lip syncing to everything
yeah trouble is Kate was in
South Pacific
I was gonna say South Pacific
I was in South Pacific did you come to
no I know but the joke was you were lip-syncing Oklahoma.
I just had to say another, you know, that was the joke.
Trouble is, she was in West Side Story.
Whatever, you know.
But I still had my cowboy outfit on.
Oklahoma's inappropriate in pretty much every other musical.
Oklahoma's the one where you can sing Oklahoma.
What have you seen lately
have you been to the movies lately
any of you
I just saw Animal Kingdom
I did too
I watched it
it's amazing
yesterday morning
because it was the only performance
I hadn't seen yet
oh yeah
was that Jackie Weaver
for Supporting Actress
who I thought was really good
but it's not a particularly showy role
it's just kind of an interesting one
yeah
but in those last few scenes
where she sort of
yeah yeah
gets off the rock, she's amazing.
Yeah.
No, she's really good.
But I thought maybe Annette Bening or somebody could have been in there instead of her.
Right.
But it was an Australian movie, right?
So that's probably why she wasn't.
What?
Oh, you mean in the category?
Best Supporting Actress?
Oh, Annette Bening got nominated.
Yeah, she was nominated.
I meant Julianne Moore.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ricky and I saw the Justin Bieber movie.
Never Say Never.
So awesome.
We went with a bunch of comedians.
We went with Reggie Watson.
Nick Thune and Natasha.
In 3D?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
It was great.
She had the glasses on?
Because I'm boycotting anything where I have to put the glasses on.
Well, I put hand sanitizer all over the glasses.
You did?
That's not my issue with the glasses.
I didn't get LASIK surgery
to wear glasses
ever.
Except for sunglasses,
which I love to wear.
So what's my problem?
What if you could get
a surgery
that you'd be able
to see 3D movies
in 3D
without having to
put the glasses on?
Right,
but otherwise
you'd be fine.
But it is a surgery?
It's a surgery
you have to pay for.
It's a surgery
Yes.
It is an elective surgery.
If my insurance
won't pay for it. Then I perform in the back of for it my van yeah i don't want that all right i just say i just by the time i've never
seen i haven't seen a 3d movie like i thought uh how to train your dragon and jackass 3d were
probably the two best uses of 3d last year like where it actually sort of enhances it makes it a
little better but those movies would be perfectly enjoyable
not with the glasses on.
There has not been a single film
where it makes or breaks the movie.
So by the time it's over,
I'm just like,
oh, I'm tired of wearing these stupid glasses
because they also never,
I don't know, I just don't.
But it's also good without 3D.
That's the thing is I do actually want to see it.
I've heard some good things.
I mean, mostly from women.
A lot of dudes,
no dudes have really raved about it.
Fred, you loved it.
Dax Shepard was raving about it in a tweet.
I think that's just because he's in love with his fiance or whatever she is.
No, it was good.
Makes you love that sort of thing.
Yeah.
If your wife loved it, Matt, would you love it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He says yes.
That's Matt Belknap, producer in the house.
Producer of this podcast. That's Matt Belknap, producer in the house, producer of this podcast.
That's better.
And also, it's funny, I never mentioned it,
but thanks for singing the theme song live at the top.
Oh, yeah, no problem.
That was Garfunkel notes singing live,
just so that when people are listening,
they'll be like, what is happening?
Because Kate was like, I don't think I know all the words.
And I was like, even better.
Five, six, seven, eight.
That's perfect.
Yeah, let's do it.
That's like us on stage for the first year we played.
I never knew any of our lyrics.
I really struggle with lyrics in general, like Christmas songs.
I don't know.
So yeah, I don't know our songs.
I've seen you doing songs that you've done for a while with a piece of paper in your hand.
And I love that because that's how I want to do everything.
I just want to be able to look down and be like, in honor of a current movie, the other day I went number four.
That movie, of course,
Gnomeo and Juliet. See, I wrote that down. I never would have remembered to say that
if I... You saw Gnomeo and Juliet? No. And I didn't see
I Am Number Four. I joke about things I haven't even seen.
It's really not fair.
It's not fair to all the people that work so hard to make your Gnomeos and your number fours.
A little adventure goes a long way.
Was that their slogan?
That is the tagline of that film.
That is great.
A little adventure goes a long way.
I love that.
I like that.
On Twitter, let me see if i can find this um i i made a joke about how
sad it's going to be if the people have made no me on juliet just make every shakespeare movie
with gnomes and then gnomelet exactly what's i what i as soon as i thought of that i was like
i better think of a few good ones because once i put it out there, then everyone's going to pile on with their own
and I'll be bummed if somebody thinks of a better one.
So the ones that came up were
Gnomefellow,
The Midget of Venice, Much Ado About Gnoming,
and Love's Labor's Lawn.
And then lots of people came back with them,
but the best one, I was like, why did I see that?
The best one was Elf Night.
Like how could I miss that? You just dropped two letters
off of Twelfth Night and you're there.
The Taming of the Shroom.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Alright.
Thank you Matt.
You're dismissed.
You're not wrong. He's laughing at the thank you
very much not at the thing.
Well, it doesn't matter.
I'll take whatever laughter I get.
Yeah, but that was good.
That's the thing.
You have to be able to think of Shakespeare plays.
You have to be able to remember the names of them and then do that.
I don't know what I'm talking about anymore.
Here's how dumb comedy works.
Let's play Build a Title.
Oh boy.
Do you guys want to play that?
Do you ladies
know Build a Title?
I forget.
I think we just
It's fun.
It doesn't matter if you know.
I think I remember this one, yes.
I'll talk you through it.
Okay.
Matt Belknap,
give us the title of a movie.
Any movie.
Kicking and Screaming.
Oh, I like that.
Kicking
The first one.
The Noah Baumbach one
and not the Will Ferrell one.
Okay, Kicking and Screaming
is the title there.
That's a really good one.
Doug, you go next.
I'll go first.
It's not easy. I think you might pick one that's impossible.
It's not impossible because there's always some weird thing that could be...
There's got to be some artsy movie like Screaming at Picasso.
Yeah.
Should we just make a fake one?
Yeah.
Wait, new...
There's got to be a movie that starts with screaming.
Screaming.
I don't...
I certainly can't think of one.
Screaming?
Screaming.
That's a terrible name.
Sorry.
The only ones that start with creaming are porn.
Is there nothing in kicking?
Oh, oh, oh.
Something...
Something...
Reaming?
Ming?
Was there a Ming the Merciless movie?
Sure.
The Ming Dynasty?
Yeah, Ming the Merciless probably.
You may have really given us a title.
It sounded like a good one.
I think we need a new title.
It sounded like one.
I'm going to check really quick and see if Leonard Maltin can recommend one.
Can we just take the ING and think of it as ENG
and then go to English patient?
Scream English patient?
That's kind of there.
It's a little...
Because you don't go...
You say English.
Scream English.
Scream-ing.
Taking in scream English patient. English. Yeah. Scream English. Yes. Screaming. Doesn't really. Kicking and
scream English patient.
I'm going to say no to that one
just because people, the listeners
come up, they send me ones
on the internet and stuff and it's always
it's always things like that that are a reach
and I don't like to argue with them.
It has to just totally sound like it.
It has to be a
total sound alike but i'll still cheat sometimes if there's a brilliant one but there are three
movies according to the leonard malton app that start with the word screaming jeez yeah and none
of them are anything anybody's probably heard of is screaming at picasso in there because i want I want to copyright that. No, we got from 1956, Screaming Eagles.
Oh, sure.
We won't be using that one because what movie starts with eagles?
Eagle Eye.
Eagles.
Eye.
Eagles Eye.
It's the sequel.
And then the next one's called Screaming Mimi from 1958.
Yeah, great title.
And then The Screaming Skull, also from 58. All the screaming movies are in the 50s. Oh, great title. And then The Screaming Skull,
also from 58. All the screaming
movies were in the 50s.
They used the title up and then walked away.
The Skulls? The Skulls, yeah.
Well, that doesn't help us.
Let's do Screaming Mimi, and then
who's got a movie that starts with the word me?
Because that would work.
Oh, right. Me and Orson Welles?
Screaming Me, Myself, and Irene.
Yeah.
See, now we're getting somewhere.
Oh, there's that movie called Irene in Time.
Is there?
Yeah.
Who was in it?
I don't know, but I saw a billboard for it on Sunset.
I think it's still there.
It's across from the Chateau.
Oh, I think it's a Henry Jaglum movie
because he always puts up those billboards,
like one billboard somewhere
for his shitty current movie
that stars his shitty actress wife or girlfriend.
She has red hair.
It's a different girl every time.
He always falls in love with somebody.
He's like Woody Allen.
He always uses some broad that he wants to put in a movie.
I shouldn't say broad.
That's inappropriate.
Okay, so
hang on here.
Are we going in some sort of order?
I want to look up Irene in time.
No, there's no order. It doesn't matter.
It's real.
I'm trying to think of a time movie.
So many.
Hey, producer.
Start off point.
I don't get anything for something.
Is there one called
Time After Time
and then we can just go
in a vicious cycle?
There is a movie
called Time After Time.
Time After Time
was of course
about Malcolm McDowell
going into the future
to try to catch
Jack the Ripper
because they both
stumble upon
a time machine
and it's in San Francisco.
Jack the Ripper.
Can you imagine being Jack the Ripper
and murdering people,
murdering prostitutes is pretty easy
in foggy old London town.
But then you go to the future
and then you're in modern times
and you have to figure out everything
and still murder people.
He's got such a complicated life at that point.
Leonard Maltin's saying no results for Irene in Time.
I like to check with Len, but it's on IMDb, right?
And is it Henry Jaglum?
Yeah, it is.
Okay.
All right.
So I was right about that.
All right.
So Irene in Time, and then what was the next one?
Time and Again?
Oh, I said Time After Time, but then we're just right where we started.
Yeah, but there's another Time movie. We could do that uh well now time bandits yeah that's what uh that's what matt
said off mic so now you could say it sounds great yeah time bandits that's tough though
because there's a bandits right but no bandits too no bandits do it's a... Can you start with it's?
Sure.
It's a wonderful life.
There you go.
Oh, I was going to do it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world,
but it's a wonderful life works.
Okay, so now we got the word life as we know it.
Great movie with a lady with poo on her face. I'm coming up with it.
It could happen to you.
That's funny. It could happen to you. That's funny.
It could happen to you.
That was the,
was that the lottery movie?
That was the lottery
with Nick Cage and Rosie Perez.
Yeah, she got like
a ton of money for that.
Okay, so now we have
one that starts with you.
Oh.
You.
Only live twice.
There you go.
Oh, yeah.
What starts with twice?
Twice in a lifetime I was just gonna say twice in a lifetime
With Gene Hackman
And Ellen Burstyn
Lifetime original movie
What?
Is the movie called that?
I don't know
Now we're back to time again
Lifetime
Time
It could just be
I'm
Could be I'm
Lifetime? Time? It could just be... I'm? Could be I'm?
Lifetime.
There has to be other movies with time in it. I'm not even going to look at my phone.
Time Cop.
Nice.
Good one.
Cop into half.
No, you're just playing by yourself.
Half-baked.
Half-baked, yeah.
That might be a stopper. There's not a movie based on the dessert-baked. Half-baked, yeah. That might be a stopper.
There's not a movie based on
the dessert Baked Alaska.
Baked.
Ricky introduced me to what a Baked Alaska was
and it was awesome.
It's so good.
It's not something people should eat regularly.
No.
Baked, I don't know.
Can you two eat whatever you want?
I always think of you as just being naturally skinny. Baked, I don't know Can you two eat whatever you want? Like you're both
I always think of you as just being naturally skinny
We went for that baked Alaska
I think Kate and I both eat anything we want
But we don't eat a lot of food in general
You just don't eat much anyway
Like today I didn't really eat
Aside from a half of a granola thing
All I had today, I went to McDonald's
But I ate half a chicken sandwich
That's all I had
That's, you know, you can diet at McDonald's if you only eat half of the things.
Yeah, and I didn't get, like, fries or anything.
I just had half a sandwich.
Yeah.
Good work.
Yeah.
Sam?
I can't eat anything because of the disease that I am making up.
Weirdo.
All right.
I was using my phone to see if I could find anything that started with baked and I got
nothing.
No.
Okay.
So here's the title.
Here's the full title.
Kicking and screaming me, me.
Such a stretch.
Thanks again, Belknap.
Kicking and screaming me, me, me, myself.
kicking and screaming me me me myself and i read in time after time bandits so wonderful life as we know it could happen to you only live twice in a lifetime cop and a half baked
that's a we haven't gotten one that long in a while so it's pretty good
yeah i'm gonna go see that can't wait to see that on a marquee.
The next thing where I run in time is.
How are we doing on time?
When do we start this thing, Matt?
About 315, 320?
40 minutes ago.
40 minutes.
All right.
Let's get to the game.
Yeah, so let's play some Winter Malton game.
Winter Malton game.
All right.
Are Kate and I on the same team, or are we on a different?
Matt's running to the bathroom See ya
If you knew this thing was only going to be an hour
You'd think you would have timed that better
You would have thought
What if
What if we just start talking a lot of shit about him
While he's not here
And it's on the podcast
He doesn't go home and listen to the whole thing
Seriously
Seriously Belknap
How many times has he seen you do this?
Countless.
Kicking and screaming.
People get put on the spot.
In Portland, I just said to people in the audience,
I just point to somebody and go, name a movie.
And they go,
any movie.
Any movie.
True romance.
There's one.
You would be good at it. But a lot of people freeze up when you're any movie, you still just go, True romance. Ma'am. There's one. Or they go, Tron.
You would be good at it.
But a lot of people freeze up when you're just like,
Name one.
Name any movie.
It's not like name a color where you can just name the first one that pops into your head.
You know?
You start second guessing what you're going to say.
Like, that's what I like about Matt,
is that he just answered the question I asked him.
He didn't hesitate.
And he gave us a shitty title.
Welcome back.
He's back.
We talked about you the entire time you were gone.
No, you guys are not on the same team.
It's every man.
We're all in the jewel.
We go around the table.
You run it. I'm just going to be a contestant.
I'm going to start with you
because I know you don't get to play that often.
Here are your categories for the first three.
And then we'll go around this way?
We'll go, yeah, we'll go clockwise.
Then Kate, then Ricky.
Okay.
Okay.
Here we go.
In honor of his Oscar win last night, we have Christian Bale movies.
Ooh.
In honor of his birthday, which is today, John Turturro movies.
Nice.
John Turturro movies.
Nice!
And a category that I like to call When Good Musicians Go Bad.
As in, when musicians decide to put down the guitar or piano or what have you.
Yeah, put down your piano and act.
Alright.
So there you go.
Those are my choices.
Bale, Turturro, or musicians?
I'm going to go Bale, please.
Alright.
You've got a Christian Bale movie from 1992,
a Christian Bale movie from 2002,
or a Christian Bale movie from 2006.
I'm going to go 2002.
All right.
There are...
What do I do now?
I tell you the Heroes of Clues.
All right.
Well, Leonard gave it...
I will not give it away.
That much I know.
Leonard gave it two stars.
And he called it a bleak tale.
And he says that it's hard to care about any of the characters in this dour story.
And there are nine names.
I can do it in two names.
Wow!
I am impressed.
Did you guys...
Did you...
Did anybody cheat?
Did you guys look up whose birthday it is or anything?
Want to get Chris...
I did nothing.
I did nothing.
I didn't even...
I mean, normally I am always trolling for whose birthday it is,
but I did not look today because I didn't...
I knew you'd be doing it.
I guess so.
And I haven't seen USA Today or Entertainment Tonight.
Any place where they might mention whose birthday it is.
Right.
So I had no idea it was his birthday.
He didn't even mention it when he won an Oscar.
Did he say it's my birthday tomorrow?
No, it's not his birthday.
I just picked him in honor of him winning.
Oh, in honor of him winning.
Right.
No, it's a silly question.
It's a silly question.
Yeah, it was.
I cheated by watching the Oscars last night, so I really got Christian Bale on the brain.
You cheat by watching the Oscars like we said you would?
All right, I say two names.
Two names.
So you can either go lower or say name it.
Name it.
All right.
All right, here we go.
Your two names are Alice Cridge and Ned Dennehy.
Ooh.
I think it's Alice Krieg.
Is it?
I think so.
Krieg, K-R-I-G-E.
Alice, if you're out there, feel free to send me an angry email.
I think that's who it is.
She was in the big screen adaptation of that, not the Stephen King book, but the other guy
that writes those kind of books, Ghost Something.
Ghost Story, maybe?
What about this clue we're working on now?
Dour and bleak.
Two stars.
I just want to...
I was kind of hoping from the get-go
that he just felt like he just isn't a fan
of American Psycho.
Is that what it is?
That is not.
So I'm going to keep naming names.
Alexander...
I think I know it.
She can say now.
Is it The Machinist?
It is not The Machinist.
Oh.
Man, he's been in a lot of bleak movies he has alexander sittig david kennedy scott james mooter gerard butler
isabella scrupco matthew mcconaughey what and christian bale and this is 2002 this is 2002
he's the star of it?
He is the star of it.
I couldn't name it in all the names.
And Matthew McConaughey is the second lead in it.
I'll give you a hint.
It could have been called How to Not Train Your Dragon.
Oh, Reign of Fire.
Reign of Fire.
Damn.
Nicely done, Matt.
That wasn't a bad movie.
Yeah, I thought it was entertaining.
It was all right.
Was 92 Newsies?
Yes.
I knew he and I both knew 92 was Newsies because we both go, oh.
Yeah, yeah.
And was 06 The Machinist?
No, 06 is not.
Wait, wait, wait.
This category could come up again.
Yeah, we can still.
It's alive.
Jesus, guys.
I would have gotten 92 and zero names.
Fuck it up again, Belknap.
Wow.
I would have said 92, zero names. All right, again, Belknap. Wow. I would have said
92, zero names.
All right, well,
06 is still up for grabs.
We can come back to that.
All right, so that is
points for Makuchi.
We'll see about that.
So Kate gets the point.
All right, start over here.
Yeah, we're going to start with you.
Okay.
I'm going to give you
When Good Musicians Go Bad.
That one.
You have other choices.
Oh, okay.
Do you want to hear those?
Yes.
Catherine O'Hara's birthday
is the Friday that this plops
Is that correct Doug?
Love her
This will plop on Friday
May plop sooner
Okay
Well if it plops on Friday
This Friday
It would be Catherine O'Hara's birthday
March what?
March the 4th I believe
Okay
And then
In honor of
The last time I was here
I'm doing a new category
This one's called
Prequel Please I'm still going to go. This one's called Prequel Please.
I'm still going to go with the singers.
Good musicians go bad. Okay, you've got 1992, 2001, or
2003.
2003.
Alright.
Leonard gave it a star and a half.
He called it a sorry
excuse for a script and said that it exists merely to show off its sexy female star.
And you get eight names.
I can name it in three names.
Doug Benson, three names to you.
2003. Star and a half
Why such a ballsy bid?
I don't know
Alright, name it
Alright, here you go
Do I name it?
Not yet, you get three names
Unless you feel like you know it already
Alright, Lenny Veneto
Missy Crider, and Christopher Walken.
Oh, jeez.
I thought I knew it, and now I...
Oh.
Oh.
It's, uh...
Gigli.
That is correct.
Woo!
Thank you!
Wow!
That is phenomenal.
The next name is Al Pacino, by the way.
What is that movie?
It's Jennifer Lopez.
It's Jennifer Lopez.
I was thinking it was glitter.
I was totally sure it was glitter when you said,
showcase this female star.
I was like, that's what I thought, too.
And she didn't have to put down any instruments.
No, she didn't.
Wow.
So I call point of order on that.
Ricky, I have to say that.
I was looking for a musician.
Sorry.
Oh, wow.
I never would have gotten that.
What's the third?
What's the guy that played the retarded kid?
Is he going on to anything else?
Justin Martha.
Oh, that was him.
Yeah, he's in The Hangover.
The Hangover and the sequel.
Yeah, yeah.
He was in all the National Treasure movies.
But boy, that's got to be an ongoing embarrassment for him.
Wow.
To act retarded in such a retarded movie.
Doug, you're the only person without a point right now.
I love it.
I love it.
Underdog status.
Yeah.
Underdog.
Now, I, of course, prepared an In Theaters Now, but I don't think that's fair for you
to take because you prep the game every week.
So you probably know a pretty accurate list of who the theater.
I could barely tell you.
All right. Well. But yeah, you don't have to do it in theaters now okay well it's out there
so you can do john tuturo uh prequel please or catherine o'hara movies
whoa i'm so bad with years is my problem. So I want to try to narrow it down better.
Let's go Tuturu.
Johnny Tuturu.
1994, 1998, or 1999?
Yeah.
Reach back, kids.
Reach back.
I will go for...
99.
1999.
Oh, this is a good one.
Leonard was a fan of this film.
He gave it three and a half stars.
He called it a sprawling, invigorating concoction.
And that it aims high and succeeds amazingly well.
And here's my favorite part.
23 names.
Oh, man.
The bidding will go on for
hours.
Aims high and succeeds
and it's 1999.
A lot of names.
So many.
23 names.
I'll go 23 names.
Okay.
I can name that movie.
What?
In zero names?
I think so.
Okay.
Holy crap.
This is going to make you...
Actually, I should have mentioned this at the beginning.
There are nine slots in the Tournament of Championships that's about to start up, and
you will be our ninth Tournament of Championship.
Is Gigli seriously that would not qualify?
No, because you did three names.
Oh.
Yeah, you should have went zero if you were so cocky about it.
But you didn't know Gigli when you were saying how many...
I thought it was glitter, so...
Yeah.
As soon as I got to Chris Walken, that's what turned it for you.
So, yeah.
So, if you say it in zero and get it in zero, then you'll be in the tournament of championships.
I'm pretty sure.
Name that movie.
Creatable Rock.
That is correct.
Nicely done.
Oh, my God.
Very nicely done.
Thank you.
Thank you.
What were the bottom three or four names? Jack Black. He was early on in the bottom? He was the first name. Oh, very nicely done. Thank you. What were the bottom three or four names?
Jack Black. He was early on in the bottom?
That would have narrowed it down to Tim Robbins
movies because he was in pretty much
all of them. Stephen Spinella, Audra
McDonald, Gretchen Maul, John Carpenter,
Bernard Hughes, Harris
Yulin, Paul Giamatti, Bob Balaban,
Emily Watson, John Turturro.
Did I say read them all? I just read
the first five.
There's still 82 more names to go
That's a lot of names
23 names
Yeah
So what gave it away for you?
1999 I knew right away
Interesting
But I do like the movie
Yeah
You do like it
It's really good
I have the soundtrack
and everything
Yeah
You worked with Tim Robbins so I don't trust your opinion.
It doesn't count.
I said something to Jack Black about it one time
because I actually saw a little bit of it on cable again recently
and I'm just kind of flabbergasted by how little sense it makes.
And it doesn't really entertain me at the same time,
so that's kind of a bad combination.
I'm just a sucker for musicals
but that's interesting that he loved that that leonard loved that so much because it did aim
awful high and i thought i'd missed by quite a quite a really missed because i even when i said
to jack black i was like what was that movie he's like i don't know like he he was he didn't he
didn't jump in to defend it on for him right kind of early on for him, right? Yeah, yeah. A little bit.
No, it was cool that he was in those movies,
so he's certainly not going to say anything.
He was great in, what was it, Bob Roberts.
Yeah, as that fan.
Jack Black is so scary fan with the crazy,
just acting like Jack Black,
but you didn't know him as Jack Black yet.
In that movie, it's just like, this guy's out of...
He had that look of someone that will kill someone. Yeah. I haven't seen that one., but you didn't know him as Jack Black yet. In that movie, it's just like, this guy's out of... He had that look of someone
that will kill someone.
I haven't seen that one. Oh, you haven't?
It's also semi-musical. Oh, really?
Yeah, I like that movie a lot better.
I haven't seen a lot of movies. That's why I was
so let down by Crateable Rock is because I loved
Bob Roberts and I thought that
Dead Man Walking was really good.
I mean, look,
say what you will about cradle of rock
tim robbins has stopped making movies like that was the that was sort of the stopper for that that
career for whatever reason maybe because it was so ambitious and then he was disappointed by how
it was received or something yeah but the other one like well no leonard liked it so that's all
you need i don't think let's go go on Rotten Tomatoes, Matt.
Give me the percentage.
Because I imagine a lot of critics liked it,
because it was trying to do something, that's for sure.
But I was just like, what is happening most of the time?
And Turturro, he does a lot of yelling.
There's a lot of protesting going on, right?
I don't really remember the movie, I'm realizing.
But I remember like...
I think they watch it every night in Madison, Wisconsin
to get pumped for the next day of protest.
64%.
Yeah.
See, that's pretty low for...
That's pretty...
It is barely fresh.
It's fresh.
That's all I'm saying.
Yeah.
But what did the public say?
Is there a public number?
Public liked it even more.
But those are the people that went to see it on purpose.
Which was not too many people.
Which was not you.
You saw it by accident.
It didn't do very well.
No, I went on purpose.
All right, so, Kate, congratulations.
You're in the Tournament of Championships.
I am going to leave today with my tail between my legs.
Two in a row.
My legs, because this time,
at least last time I guessed some things right.
This time I didn't even get on the board.
Yeah.
No, last time you didn't get anything. Last time I didn't even get on the board. No, last time you didn't get anything.
Last time you lost the game. I did so.
In the minimum. No, that was after the game
was over. I didn't get a point? No.
You lost the game in the minimum amount
of movies possible. Because Graham said
name that movie both times. Graham got two in a row?
Well, why did... There was some point where
we were playing for fun
afterward. Oh, that's when we both yelled out
Pretty Woman at the same time? Yes. That's when you started crushing it. Oh, okay. Oh, let's play for fun afterward. Oh, that's when we both yelled out Pretty Woman at the same time? Yes.
That's when you started crushing it.
Oh, let's play for fun then.
There's no stakes to begin with
other than my own personal embarrassment that I'm not good
at the game. No, I think you are good at it.
I think you're going to do very well in
prequel, please.
Well, you don't have to push a category
at me. I am. I'm pushing a category. I almost picked that.
Okay, well, you've got that.
You've got Catherine O'Hara.
Let me ask you this.
Before we do prequel, please, just one quick question.
When has there ever been a good prequel?
I have at least two in this category.
That are good movies.
At least one.
That take place before the first movie that was a hit, and they decided to make another one.
Yes.
At least one of these three, I firmly stand behind.
Oh, I love it.
Yes, you can.
I mean, hopefully you'll be able to add
Rise of the Apes to that list
when that comes out.
Dumb and Dumberer?
Because that's a prequel, right?
Rise of the Apes?
I believe it is, yeah.
Dumb and Dumberer?
That is not in my list.
Okay, all right.
So let's play that category.
All right, 84, 99, or 2002?
Just give me the two years that are the ones you think are good
uh 84 and 2002 okay i'll go 84 all right leonard was not that big a fan he gave it two stars but
but there's no way you don't like this movie uh leonard called it headache inducing and says it
never gives us a chance to breathe and as a little added bonus, it was an Oscar winner for visual effects.
And you get seven names.
That's from 94?
84.
It's from 2004?
Yeah.
Okay, 84.
It's from 2014.
And it's a prequel to something?
It is a prequel.
Oh, my gosh.
And it's noisy in one special effects.
And everyone in this room knows this movie.
Really?
I promise.
All right, how many names?
Seven names.
Did you say that already?
Yeah.
I'll go seven names.
Oh, that's me.
Start the bidding.
Oh, shoot.
I'll go six.
I'll go five.
Four. Four names.
Three.
Oh, I finally get all the points.
Name that movie.
Oh, she's going to get the points.
Oh, crap.
Name that movie.
All right.
How many names does she get?
She gets three names.
All right.
Okay.
The first name I'm giving you is Dan Aykroyd.
The second name is Philip Stone.
And the third one is Roshan Seth.
Oh, Jesus.
You know the movie?
I forgot it's a prequel.
That's right.
You're right.
You're right.
It's my favorite.
It's the only good prequel ever.
Damn it.
Why didn't I say name that movie?
I really don't know.
There's nothing on the line, really.
I don't know it.
Can Doug say it?
Sure.
I certainly can say it yeah it's
indiana jones and the temple that is correct never would have gotten that yeah because but that's
another case of like that's where we should have known that george lucas was jumping the you know
was starting to go prequel nuts in a way that wasn't going to be good because the things that
happened indiana jones in that movie, in Raiders of the Lost Ark,
you go,
nah,
you know,
a guy tried to pull my heart out with his bare hands,
so this situation isn't so bad.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
The prequel is so much more spectacular,
and like Leonard said,
it's noisy,
but it did win for visual effects.
It did,
and you know why he made it a prequel?
Because he didn't want to do another film
where Indy fights
the nazis and so he either had to jump like 10 years or make it a prequel why what oh you mean
just because nazis were still problems still the only bad guy at that period of time well i guess
so but he could have been like just chasing to get some out of crazy artifact like like you know
it's not like that it's not like the villains that were in the prequel were like these firmly established
villains we've always known and loved is this the one with the monkey brains yeah okay yeah yeah
every scene in the movie is hilarious because it's just it just keeps every every scene everything
is like just trying to make it everything happen gets worse and worse like oh there's a bunch of
bugs oh there's a bug on me oh there's a. Like, oh, there's a bunch of bugs.
Oh, there's a bug on me.
Oh, there's a bug in my hair.
Oh, there's a bug in my mouth.
Oh, I just shit out a bug.
Like, it always, every scene escalates.
That's what Leonard said.
It's so entertaining.
And the kid from the Goonies?
Is this still going?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, Ki Hai Kwan.
It tried to, yes.
Also known as?
Short round.
Jonathan.
Oh, Jonathan Ki Kwan, because he tried to, didn't want to come off too foreign.
Don't work out.
I remember watching that movie with my babysitter.
Terrible babysitter.
Yeah, because how old were you?
I was four.
Whoa!
That movie's brutal for a four-year-old.
That movie helped usher in PG-13.
Really?
All right, you want to try the prequel
from 2002? Sure.
Let's see how we're doing on time. We've got to wrap it up soon.
Okay, I'm going to start with Kate on this one. People are getting an
extra long episode. Okay.
Alright, it's from 2002. Leonard gave it
two stars. He called it needless.
He said that it was
slick production with an exceptionally
good cast, and
Ellen Burstyn's voice is uncredited.
And you get 15 names.
Oh, 15.
Hang on a second.
Wait, what?
Yeah.
He calls it what?
Needless.
And this is the other one that you think is good?
Yes, and so do you.
I listen to your podcast.
I know what movies you like.
Oh, wow.
It's a prequel from 2002.
There's 15 names.
It's needless.
10?
Okay, 10 names.
Nine.
Douglas.
Douglas.
This feels like a trick question
How many did you say?
Nine
She said nine
I'll go eight
Just give me more time to think
Seven?
Name that movie
Nobody wants you to play
You guys
We don't know it
Here we go
I'm just gonna jump in
Yeah, do it
Lalo Scherfen.
Oh, yeah.
The composer?
I guess so.
Yeah.
John Rubenstein.
Cameo by a composer.
Frankie Faison.
Azura Sky.
Stanley Anderson.
Ken Lung.
And Bill Duke.
What is this movie?
It's a prequel that you think I liked.
If I got one more name in,
you'd know it and you'd go, oh, you're right.
Do you give up?
Well, I give up. She gives up. Give me the one more name.
Anthony Held.
How is
Silence of the Lambs a prequel? It isn't.
Red Dragon is.
And he was in that too? Yeah!
He's in both, right? Yes!
And Red Dragon's a good movie?
Absolutely! The Brett Ratner
movie? Yes.
Go find where I've ever said that.
Nah! We've talked about it!
No way, it's terrible! No, you're wrong.
Manhunter. That's
the one. Manhunter and Silence
of the Lambs are both great, and then Red Dragon's
like... I like Red Dragon's like...
I like Red Dragon.
It's got an amazing cast.
Ralph Fiennes is in it.
Yeah, Ralph Fiennes, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Mary Louise Parker, Emily Watson, Harvey Keitel, Ed Norton.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
I still wouldn't have gotten it.
Every name.
See, that's the thing.
I only recognize that guy's name from he was the guy in Silence of the Lambs.
Right, and I knew you'd know that because I know how much you love that movie.
Bill Duke was in my voiceover class.
I didn't know why you were calling Sands and Lambs a piece.
Oh.
Really?
Yeah.
So maybe you would have gotten this.
He directed Waiting to Exhale, I think.
Oh, yes, he did.
Yeah.
Bill Duke?
Yeah, the actor.
Who was also in Ricky's voiceover class?
He's a big black actor who's always like, he always plays like, you know, kind of.
He's always like this.
He's always a tough guy, like in Commando.
Well, I'm sorry.
Bill Duke was also in Predator, wasn't he? Oh, I think so. I think well i'm sorry it wasn't bill duke was also in predator wasn't he
oh i think so i think so too that wasn't uh if you just tap bill duke on there and list all of
his movies no i don't have it on on that i do it differently than you do i do it in notepad
i do it in notes so that everything's all condensed so that i don't have to go fumbling
looking for weird hey my fumbling is charming snippets pieces of the review that don't have to go fumbling, looking for weird snippets of pieces of the review that don't give anything away.
Oh, you select the pieces of the review ahead of time?
Yes.
See, I don't do that.
I know.
And then you let your guests talk while you're looking through it.
And sometimes that gets dicey, Doug.
Why? Because they start to give away too much information?
Sometimes they say things like,
they talk about shitty Paul Verhoeven movies.
Oh, that's when that happened?
No.
Oh.
You're just a house of cards.
I like to reference earlier podcasts
for your podcast listeners,
so that they feel connected.
I got it.
Seriously, I must have been drunk
if I said I liked Red Dragon.
I think you and I talked about it.
Or maybe I had a meeting
coming up with Brad Ratner
and I didn't want to get in trouble.
There's no way.
What was the 2001 music one?
Is that glitter?
No.
Oh, what was the 2001
Put Down Your Piano and Stone movie?
We'll make this the last one.
Leonard gave it two stars.
He says it starts off strongly
then gets dumber and dumber
and it has a cartoon-like climax.
There are 12 names.
And it's a musician trying to act?
Is that the one? Yes.
2001? We'll start with you, Ricky.
Oh.
10 names.
9. 8. Nine.
Eight.
Seven.
Five.
Ooh.
Name of that movie.
Here you go.
Name of that movie.
Here you go.
You're going to like your five, too.
I'm going to name it.
You're going to like your five.
Yeah, what are they?
Nick Chinland, Ava Mendes, Macy Gray, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre.
Why would I like that?
Because I would think that's a giveaway.
It is?
Yeah.
You know what, Ricky?
I think so.
Come on, Doug.
What movie was Ava Mendes in?
Jesus.
Macy Gray, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre.
I don't think I can name three of Amanda's movies.
Because we're not playing for points.
Okay, let's go backwards.
It's not the other guys.
It's not.
It's got to list everything she's been in.
It's not Training Day.
I'll give you a hint.
She's naked in this film.
That doesn't help me.
I've never been like...
It's not Training Day.
I don't get that big of a bone going for her.
She just said the title.
Training Day?
Yes!
That's a musician movie?
Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Macy Gray?
Oh, you're the worst.
Do they not sound as musicians?
But that sounds...
The category sounds like it's a person who's like went and made a movie instead of doing music.
Like it was with Gigli.
Right.
I mean, she was in a lot of movies, but you know
what I mean? Well, then you guys should have taken the 1992
movie. I mean, there's plenty of movies where lots of musicians
had cameos. They weren't
like the leads. Not to totally say this,
but Jennifer Lopez was acting for like five
years before she put out a record. Yeah, yeah.
So that was double hard. That was sort of the other way around.
Well, you still got it. I did.
So what are you complaining about? But that brings up an interesting
thing. You got it, but it was like training day yeah yeah but i i didn't realize those people were in training
day i mean i guess i remember macy gray being in it now that you mentioned it but that's a movie i
just saw the one time because it didn't i didn't love it as much as everybody else oh no yeah but
that but this is bringing up a good thing that i want to talk about briefly and then we'll get out
of here um people come to me with category ideas on the internet all the time and that's where they'll
suggest things i'll just be like oh that just gets into too much you know it creates too much gray
area where the contestants can well i will never i will never do that category for anything like
my sincere apologies that i'm just saying i've i've fallen into that myself you know just because
it's like as soon as you start going,
you know, it has to be a real specific thing.
Like, obviously, that's why I do people's birthdays a lot.
Sure.
Because it's just like, that person's in this movie.
That's that, you know?
Wait, which movie had Ellen Burstyn with a...
That was Red Dragon.
That was Red Dragon.
She's the voice of Ray Fine's dead mother.
Oh, okay.
I wouldn't know, because I saw it the one time and didn't like it well you feel any better my 1992 uh musician movie is
decidedly uh a musician who acted just the one time or i thought it was at least going to be
like you know how bob dylan was in like he was in um pat garrett and billy the kid you know i mean like he just suddenly
showed up in a western everybody's like what might have been better i don't know those might
have been movies i could have chosen for this weird category yeah but it's a you know that's
coming up with weird categories is the hardest part so i'm gonna write down who i want to call
a shithead because i lost today um oh that's an easy one um what's wrong with my pen oh my matt belknap really wants to
know the the 1992 movie so i'm just going to start naming names oh i love that that's fun
what's the category again this is a musician musicians go bad 1992 two and a half stars
overblown makes no sense but has many crowd-pleasing ingredients debbie reynolds stephen shellen burt remsen robert wool devon nixon
mike star michelle lamar richards tomas arana ralph wait bill cobs gary kemp wait a second
time time time time time the next name I say gives it away.
Because the next name is that musician.
Yes.
Okay.
You've mentioned Mike Starr before.
Wait, wait, wait.
Is it Crossroads, Britney Spears?
No, it's 1992.
She was 10.
I forgot the year.
I forgot the year, but she was great in that what are the clues again?
you never did the clues
yes I did
Overblown makes no sense
but has many crowd pleasing ingredients
two and a half stars
1992
the last two names are
the movie star
and the musician
right
that is correct
Whitney and Costner
nicely done
nicely done yeah I forgot all those people were in that correct. Whitney and Costner. Nicely done.
Nicely done.
Yeah, I forgot all those people
were in that.
Remember that
scene where
Kevin Costner
fights Mike
Starr and he
throws that
small knife in
the kitchen when
he's eating the
apple?
Yeah.
All I know
about Mike
Starr is he
punched Fred
Stoller through
a phone booth
in Dumb and
Dumber and he
was on Ed.
I know.
First time I was ever on your podcast, and you were looking at my resume.
You were like, you were on Ed.
Was that a Mike Starr episode or a non-Mike Starr episode?
Did you pal around with...
Michael Ian Black.
That's who your character was friends with on the show?
Yeah.
He wasn't really friends.
I was in two episodes. Like you worked for him or something no i came in so that he could
train me how to be a better bowler oh but the joke was he didn't know how to bowl at all of course
not well he works in a bowling alley why would he know right that was what was so kooky about that
show i can't believe it's not on dvd i did love that show and uh yeah kevin pollack's very upset
that it's not on dvd I thought that's whose voice you were
doing when you said that I can't believe it's not on DVD thank you very much everybody Sam Levine
running the game again Garfunkel and Oates all over your face is available on iTunes in the
comedy album section yes you're tearing it up it's got the really pretty picture of the two of them on the front of it.
So you gotta check that
out. And
as always,
Sam Levine is a shithead. How dare
you? Oh no. And Sam Levine
is a shithead. No!
We both put you there.
Sorry. How could you?
Now it's time for Doug to watch another We both put you there, sorry How could you?
