Doug hates candy wrappers, creamy babies,
50 seats with 50 as a pop-up,
Colonel did his deed.
There's still not more that he won't see
but Doug Loves Movies!
Hey everybody!
My name is Doug and I love movies!
This is Doug Loves Movies!
That was almost like
you were singing it.
So much talent in this town.
Coming to you from the
UCB Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday,
June 10th, 2014.
Wolf of Wall Street Fight Terminator 2.
Judgment Day of the Dead Man Walking Tall.
The President's Men and Blackfisher King.
Ralph of Dog Day Afternoon Delight
Sleep Perfect Murder by Death Wish
Three of Me Ghosts
World's End
Yeah
I know it's not as impressive when I
read it right off the piece of paper but
I don't have time for memories
for you know what I mean
LA! LA!
You guys!
But some of you are visiting,
so stick around until this Thursday because the Benson movie interruption
takes on Noah at Cinefamily.
I apologize for saying that. It's sold out.
Saturday.
Like I just brought it up
and bragged. No, it's sold out.
It happened today and I forgot to take it off
this script. Saturday,
I will be interrupting Whip It at the Alamo Drafthouse in Kansas City, Missouri at 4.30.
And at 2 o'clock, this is the kind of Alamo Drafthouse shit that goes down.
At 2 o'clock, there's going to be a roller derby demonstration on the street outside the theater
with commentary by me and Chris Cubis and the other special guests. We're going to get to
sit there like we're on NBC or
some shit or
Dodgeball
an underdog story
and
I'm going to feel like Jason Bateman and Gary
Cole is my point
and I'm going to sit there and commentate
on the action that's
going on outside in a street like cops are going to sit there and commentate on the action that's going on outside in a street.
Like, cops are going to have to lock down a street from traffic for something that I'm doing.
And that tickles me.
The next day, Sunday, June 5th, cops won't be involved, but we're doing a Douglas Movies at the Kansas City.
Improvdouglasmovies.com for more info on all that kind of stuff.
I'm touring too much, you guys.
So see me while before I get sick of it.
From the corrections department,
I think I said that Ron Funches and I will be on at midnight
competing against each other on June 22nd,
but it's actually June 24th.
On Sunday, June 22nd,
I'm doing a special Douglas Movies taping
at the Nerd Melt
Theater at Meltdown Comics
at 420. Ten bucks
gets you in. We'll let you out
for 20.
Push-ups.
One more plug. The Doug Loves Movies

30th is, boom, sold out.
So, uh, that's
fucking, you know, 19 that's 20 days from now that's sold out and
so we added a stand-up show uh the night before the 29th at the grammar c theater so uh come
please i'll get some special guests on that show we'll play some leonard malton game at the end
uh grammar c theater june 30th bag. It's a good one.
Lots of good stuff in there.
I think this is probably an XXL
Douglas Movies shirt. We've taken and given away
sizes that people don't buy over the
internet.
Because we have them laying around. My friends at
Chameleon Glass gave me one of these
camouflage hats that's the kind of camouflage that makes
me think, where are you hiding?
Are you hiding in a particularly bleak museum?
Oh, this is cool.
We got from my friends at Poke Bowl.
You've seen the Poke Bowl on the desk, on the table.
It's not a desk.
Nobody's writing or learning.
It's on the table on Getting Doug with High every week is a Poke Bowl, and it's not a desk nobody's writing or learning it's on the table on getting dug with high
every week is a poke bowl
and it's the item that David Cross
called ridiculous
because he doesn't get it
we've got oh boy
and also from chameleon glass
a sticker that says chameleon glass
so help promote them
they're based out of Arizona
pops hot dogs
gets a laugh every time but it's a real place help promote them. They're based out of Arizona. Pops Hot Dogs.
Gets a laugh every time,
but it's a real place.
Two fucking free hot dogs, you guys.
I got hundreds of those.
Oh, here's a little container that's probably also from Chameleon Glass.
They send me too much stuff,
so stop it, Chameleon Glass.
I appreciate it, but I can't
the box you sent recently was so big
gateway dug
didn't fit in the trunk of my car
I had to carry it three miles
I know some of you are saying
why did they send you something that wasn't delivered
to your home
that's because I'm not giving out my home address
to people that say I want to send you something i hope this dude's listening i can't remember his name now though
but a guy sent me i think a manifesto and i don't really i don't really want your manifesto dude
please don't do anything terrible i'm telling you it's like this this thick and i started reading it
and i don't understand a word of it it It's not in another language. It's in
sort of English and
it's epic.
The guy put a lot of work into it so I
hope he's alright.
Let's get
my guests out here, you guys. Three of
my favorites. I enjoy these dudes every time
they come on the show. They've all been on a bunch
so we'll have a really good competition
tonight. Please give a big warm welcome to Jeff Tate, Tony Thaxton, and returning winner
Scott Aukerman!
All right.
Nobody wins the first-to-talk game tonight.
I appreciate that.
That's a very polite panel.
You let me host this thing.
What did you guys bring for the prize bag?
Let's start with Jeff Tate, everybody.
We got a copy of Jeff Tate, I Got Potential,
where you were dressed like everyone's spirit animal on the cover.
Yep.
You got a nice... I look like a dang old bear.
That's exactly what you look like.
Speaking of dang old bears,
you brought the novelization of Die Hard with a Vengeance.
Yep.
Yep, it's a little less graphic than the movie,
so if you don't like violence or cursing,
just read it.
That glorious strip of hair he has down the middle of his head
is almost like a mohawk.
If you just tease it up a little bit more.
And then you also brought the novelization of Another 48 Hours,
which is interestingly better than the novelization of 48 hours.
Yeah.
I don't know if people know that.
It's reversed.
When they hit the street,
it's going to hit the fan.
It?
Yeah.
The street.
It's up to you.
The street will hit the fan.
Makes a lot of sense.
They're the most mismatched pair ever to hit the streets.
But when the heat comes down,
they need each other to stay alive.
What?
Hold on.
This is a comedy?
Yeah.
It's the most mismatched pair.
That's because it came out two years before Twins.
Scott Aukerman is here, everybody.
Hi, Doug.
And hello, America.
Did I miss what you brought for the prize bag?
No, I got it right here. Oh, right. I thought that was
a sandwich that you were eating.
I finished the sandwich. Oh, okay.
I have a packet of scented candles.
What scent, you ask?
Vanilla and caramel.
From the Simple Indulgence line of scented candles.
So you go shopping right here on the Franklin block of stores for the show
and I also have a lovely card it says your 40th birthday reminds me of that
great oriental philosopher and you open it up and it says young no mo pretty It says, Young No Mo.
Pretty good.
I've signed it.
Are we still allowed to call them Orientals?
As long as their name is Young No Mo.
That's really the name of a person.
It's not racist if it's really their name.
Oh, yeah.
Scott sealed it up for no reason.
Just to get back on the horse of licking an envelope again.
When was the last time you licked an envelope?
Oh, my gosh, boy. It's been a while, right?
I'm going to have to turn in my chip.
You know what?
I'll even throw in the bag these came in.
Oh, there you go.
That's terrific.
I paid for that.
Let's get some garbage in here.
Next to all this other beautiful, wonderful stuff. I kept
one of the candles. There's a bunch of those vanilla
candles. I kept one.
Because I enjoy vanilla and I have smells
to cover up
when I go on the road. Oh, there's a copy
of Gateway, Doug. What a surprise.
Tony Thaxton is here, everybody.
Hello, everyone.
Formerly of this band,
Motion City Soundtrack,
he brought two of their recordings for you.
Sitting around the house, taking up space.
Loved seeing you guys perform all the time.
The other guys were cool, but you were the nicest one.
Tell me more.
So I just don't know if I could support them as a band anymore.
You support them, though, don't you?
I do.
It wasn't acrimonious.
You just are no longer the drummer.
You're like, oh, shit, I have to drum every night?
Yeah.
We're still friends.
I just got tired of being gone all the time.
So I left.
Oh, so you got off of drugs when you got out of the band?
Yeah.
Tired of being gone?
Tired of being fucked up?
And so what are you doing now besides, I should say, you host Feliz Navi Pod,
which is the Christmas podcast that goes year-round.
Yes. I made the natural
transition of quitting my band
that toured the world to start a year-round
Christmas podcast with my dog.
It's, well, at least
he's the dog from Grinch's
Soul of Christmas, right? What?
What did you
say? Is that...
I heard, that can't be what I sound like.
Hey, Tony.
I didn't dab.
Hey, baby.
Who told me about that dog, you guys?
That's the dog you were Christmas,
don't Christmas, baby.
I didn't just dab, dude.
I know...
I know I don't sound like that.
But seriously, what do you...
Christmas all the time.
Christmas all the time.
Yeah.
I tried to make a Grinch joke because he has a dog.
And you also brought...
Everyone's favorite Star Wars movie.
The Christmas classic.
Attack of the Clones.
Everybody loves it.
Who doesn't love it? By applause loves it. Who doesn't love it?
By applause.
See?
Everybody doesn't love it.
It's not loved by everyone.
Because for some reason,
I owned that,
and I decided I should put an end to that.
Well, it's not as bad as one.
I disagree.
Really?
Yeah.
Oh.
I just didn't like that.
When's the last time you watched all of them? I just didn't like that when's the last time
you watched all of them
because
I just watched the first one
like when they said
it's in 3D
yeah so did I
you go and there's nothing
no I agree
you're watching it
with glasses on
yeah
like a fucking nerd
I think that one works
that's your problem
with 3D movies
yeah I don't like
how I look
when I'm wearing them
I look around
and I'm like,
other people
can pull this off.
Yeah, the second one
is not very good.
And I like...
Thank you, Jeff.
I like terrible movies.
Everyone knows that.
And I don't even like that one.
Yeah, you take
Lone Ranger is better than...
Episode 2,
Shay, yeah, man.
Yeah.
Episode 2 is like Space Model UN.
I don't get it, but all right.
What have you seen lately, Jeff?
Have you been to a shitty movie that you loved?
Yeah, I saw this movie called Cold in July.
Oh, yeah, you told me about that in a text or an email or something.
You liked it so much.
Yeah.
It was great.
No one here has seen it.
E-Dub gave it a C-minus.
I sort of got turned off by their review, but you loved it.
C-minus, still a passing grade.
So you'll see any movie that is not an F.
Yeah, I think they gave Lone Ranger a D+.
Yep.
Yeah, Kimo Sabe.
Cold in July is this cool movie
with the guy who plays Dexter
and then Sam Shepard and Don Johnson.
Yeah, I saw a picture of the three of them
in a truck together.
Michael C. Hall.
I'm sold.
Yeah, right?
Michael C. Hall.
Those guys in a truck?
What does the C stand for?
Scott Aukerman, truck buff.
Scott Aukerman, you know a lot about celebrities.
What does the C stand for in Michael C. Hall?
I think it's cocksucker?
I had narrowed it down to two.
Thank you.
What's going on?
What do you got to plug right now, Scott?
You've got the current season of Comedy Bang Bang.
Comedy Bang Bang.
TV, thank you.
Season three.
We've showed five out of the 15 episodes.
This week has Nick Offerman, Kate McKinnon, Kyle Mooney,
and also Michael Showalter on the show.
That's this week.
It's a really good episode.
Yeah.
And, yeah, I also want to plug my other podcast,
You Talkin' U2, to me.
Yes.
Which I was just fortunate enough to be on and get to see that crazy interplay
that Scott and Scott have in the flesh.
I didn't know what I was walking into.
You're on the penultimate episode
as it is ending tomorrow.
Tomorrow's the final episode?
Tomorrow's the season finale.
We're stopping doing it. So we have a very? Tomorrow's the season finale. We're stopping doing it.
So we have a very special.
Not the series finale necessarily?
You might get picked up if somebody with a lot of money comes along?
They're waiting for you three to start.
Us three.
How about this?
Cantaloupe fame.
Why don't you make this pledge to the listeners?
Sure.
If and when YouTube puts out a new album,
you do as many episodes as there are tracks
and only talk about one track per episode.
Okay, yeah.
All right, deal.
That's going to happen, you guys.
We're going to come back.
U2's not going to stop.
They're going to make more.
We're going to come back.
We just can't keep going at the pace we're going,
which we start to have to do like two a week
at a certain point,
because anyway, we talk about...
You're both very busy.
We're very busy.
It's the ultimate side project.
Yeah, but we do a really special season finale
where we do commentary of the
first episode.
Oh, so you go back and just
talk about how you did.
You can hear the first episode,
and we talk over it.
Well, you know,
you really opened
yourself up because
people are going to
love it and then
ask you to do that
for every existing
episode.
So, good luck.
Thanks, Bill.
Good luck to you.
How do you feel
tonight about being
the current Leonard
Maltin champ?
Do you think we'll
see you again?
I doubt it.
I think I lucked
into it last time.
You hit like three
movies that I knew,
strangely.
But there's just as many movies I don't know.
Three.
And you only need to know two to win,
so I don't know where that third one came from.
Oh, I do want to say I saw 22 Jump Street,
and it is super, super funny.
Oh, good.
I expect nothing less of those guys.
The Lego movie is still my favorite movie of the year.
I think I agree. And by those guys The Lego movie is still my favorite movie of the year I think I agree By those guys I mean because
Shannon Tatum and
Jonah Hill have tiny roles
In Lego movie
So that carries the whole film
But yeah I love those guys and I love their movies
Yeah it's great it's just as funny as the first one
Good for them
Very smart very funny
We were driving by a poster
for it the other day, me and Jonah. Good story, if it
ends there.
Tony, what have you seen lately?
I can't walk
away from a good story.
Could have shot
for great, but happy with good.
I haven't seen a whole lot lately.
I think the last thing I saw in the theater was Godzilla.
That was recently, a couple weeks. It was, yeah.
I didn't think it was all that goodzilla, if I may.
Well, okay.
It's too late.
It's hard to follow Doug's billboard story, man.
Don't beat yourself up.
It's hard to follow Doug's billboard story, man.
Don't beat yourself up.
I liked how in Godzilla,
the only person that got to say Godzilla was the Japanese guy.
Oh, perfect.
So racist.
Yeah, I didn't...
It looked cool, but I just...
I was kind of bored.
Too much Zilla at the end.
Yeah, sure. I'm just saying, eh, I was kind of bored. Too much Zilla at the end. Yeah,
sure. I'm just saying, like,
there's a point where it becomes not about the human characters and just the monsters. It just becomes about real
estate, someone looking up Zilla.com.
That was the thing, though.
Alright, we gotta move on again, because that's
not getting any better.
It's time for me to say,
let the games begin!
We're four minutes behind
schedule.
Gentlemen,
some people brought some name tags.
Some didn't.
Please select the ones who didn't, who you'd like to play
for. No.
I'm going to reward the ones who didn't.
No, select a name tag that you'd like to play for,
and while you do that, we'll do this. We'll be back.
And we're back!
Who are you playing
for, Jeff Tate? One person
clapped. They don't have to clap
for that part. No one ever has to clap.
It's very... We don't have
applause signs or a warm-up guy.
We just come back, and only one
person wanted to clap.
Should we come back again?
It's fine.
See what happens if you say and we're back.
Let's try it again. Now that Scott's taught everybody
how it works.
And we're back!
There were still some that were like
no.
There's no sign. This is clap.
We're fucking doing our own thing.
Who are you playing for, Jeff?
27 Jesses.
I think her name is Jess.
She drew this.
I finally picked one that wasn't shitty.
Good job, Jeff.
Who are you playing for, Scott?
I'm playing for Rachel,
whose sign is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer poster
that just says Rachel the Vampire Slayer.
No art to it,
just merely a name substitution. Doesn't rhyme with Buffy the Vampire Slayer poster that just says Rachel the Vampire Slayer. No art to it, just merely a name substitution.
Doesn't rhyme with Buffy.
So you picked it to criticize it, or...
Yeah, oh yeah.
So you're kind of playing against her.
There's so many movies...
Are you going to throw the game
so that her shitty game tag doesn't win?
So many movies that have Rachel in the title
she could have used.
But then she would have had to do even less.
It seemed like you were complaining about how little she did.
That's a good point.
I don't know.
I'm high. Here we go, Tony. Who are you playing for?
If he's complaining about that not being creative,
this Kermit here is for Lorraine.
Which, I don't get it,
but I'm a huge Muppets fan. Say it like Kermit, though. Say it like Kermit here is for Lorraine, which I don't get it, but I'm a huge Muppets fan.
Say it like Kermit, though.
Say it like Kermit.
Yay!
I'm Lorraine the Frog!
Or like Constantine.
I am Lorraine the Frog.
That's for everyone who saw Muppets Most Wanted.
To determine who's going to go first today,
I know that normally I let the returning champ go first,
but since he's here in town and Transformers hasn't opened yet,
let's do some lines with Mark.
You guys want to do some fucking lines?
Let's fucking do some lines.
How you doing, bro?
How you fucking doing?
Come on, get up.
What's up? How you fucking doing Come on, get up. What's up?
How you fucking doing?
You guys doing good or what?
Yeah.
So Mark here,
our good friend Mark Wahlberg,
is going to...
You got a fucking tea light candle there?
It's vanilla scented.
Do you like vanilla?
Fuck yeah, dude.
All right. You know what? You can keep it.
You can totally have that.
He's going to say a line from a motion picture.
I like your tan lines.
Don't say that to a nice girl
sitting on the floor. I'm saying it to the dude.
How respectful of that shit.
You want to do a fucking line or what?
Yeah, yeah.
You just want to do a fucking line.
Yeah, the guy who's tan, you're complimenting his black.
But go ahead.
Hey, bro, that's a good bass Maybe he's black
You get to
You don't know in this town
Mark's going to stay in line for a movie
First of my guests to guess the correct
Title of this movie
We'll go first We'll just get to go first in the Leonard Martin game going to say a line from a movie. First, give my guests to guess the correct title of this movie. You'll be a big fucking winner.
We'll go first. We'll just get to go first
in the Leonard Maltin game. Anything can
happen from there, but go ahead, Mark.
Are you guys ready to do this? Yeah.
Go ahead. Is that the line?
Yeah, I fucking
shagged a rotten, baby.
Austin Powers. It is Austin Powers.
Wait a second.
I know...
International.
I know Mark doesn't care about full titles
like National Lampoon's Animal House, but...
No, I don't fucking care about that.
Yeah.
But Tony,
what is the full title of the film?
Austin Powers.
Full correct title.
International Man of Mystery.
It was from the first one, Mark?
Yeah, that was from the first one.
Okay.
All right. I asked you to do It was from the first one, Mark? Yeah, that was from the first one. Okay. All right.
I asked you to do a line from the third one
because Scott Aukerman's in the third one.
That's okay, Mark.
By the way, did you just guess
at what he might say in that movie?
Yeah, I shagged her rotten, baby.
Well, then he says,
condoms are for fucking sailors.
I know that for a fact.
No way he said that.
Thank you, Mark Wahlberg. I'll talk to you later.
Yeah, thanks a lot.
I have a feeling we will hear from him again.
I was like, do a line
from Goldmember, because then we can talk about how
Scott Aukerman is in the
third Austin Powers film. Some poor soul
said they watched it the other day for me. I just felt
so bad for them.
Now I want to get more people to do it, because it's
fun to see your back
in Michael Caine, young Michael Caine's
jacket. Michael Caine in the front,
Aukerman in the back.
Michael Caine
in the sheets, Aukerman on the streets.
You play Michael Caine's
back?
No, he just had his back.
The actor Michael Caine's back.
Oh, you and Michael Caine need each other to stay alive like in another 48 hours?
So, yeah.
So, congratulations, Tony.
Good job.
Thank you.
And congratulations, Scott, for a gold member.
Thank you so much.
That started my career and ever since then.
I'm sure you've told the full story before, but you thought
it'd be a little bit more to it than just
being his back. Yeah, well I went in to
I went on the audition and they told me I was
young Michael Caine and so I worked on a Michael
Caine impression.
Can he do it now? It's been
so long but it was something like, oh,
Michael Caine. You know, something of that
to that effect. His signature line.
He should
have to say that every single
role he does. Just pop in,
set the audience at ease, just say, I'm
Michael Caine. Oh, he's here. Okay, great.
And then he just starts.
So I did the audition, and they were like,
wow, that's really good. And I did a lot of acting
of watching something blow up and all this
kind of stuff. And then they looked at me.
And then they had me go out and meet Mike Myers
and Jay Roach.
And I went to the studio. It was just
them. They were rehearsing the thing where he does the
legs crossing and all that.
And I walked in. I'm like, wow, this is a big deal.
I'm meeting these guys. This is
like a huge part that they're giving me.
And I met them and they go, oh.
And we chit-chatted for a while
and then they go,
all right, well, let's get a look at you.
Turn around.
I was like,
is this that show business story I've heard?
Let's see that ass.
And I turn around and they went,
yep, that'll do.
Oh, nice.
And then I got to the set
and I was just, yeah,
it was just me from really far away
and me just like, my back the entire time.
Holding, like, baby Austin Powers or something?
I don't remember.
But it was a cool, I mean, they were all really nice.
Jay Roach, like, actually came up to me
and was asking me for, like, script advice on it and stuff,
because he knew I worked on Mr. Show and stuff,
so he was like, well, in this scene, what would you do?
I would change all
of it.
No, it's a great film, great experience,
great people. Do you think
Jay Roach smokes weed?
Because that would be weird. It would be a missed opportunity.
Yeah, totally a missed opportunity.
Yeah. You get to pick a category,
Tony. Would you like
At Elliot's
World suggested
hold on to your potatoes.
And that of course is films that are set
in Ireland.
At
Ann Eddie Nunn. Not at any
Eddie Nunn. Ann Eddie Nunn.
Or that is just anyone.
Post No Bills. That's
Bill Murray movie.
Movies to sequels.
Sequels to movies.
Fuck it.
No, it's sequels to movies that Bill Murray was in,
but he's not in the sequel.
Okay.
Yeah, and it goes deeper.
At James Gelter suggested,
post no bills too.
And that's movies that Bill Murray is not in,
but one of his brothers is.
That aren't necessarily sequels.
So it's not something he originally was in.
No.
But it's just a movie that one of his brothers is in.
More stuff that he's not in, but his brothers are in it.
The floor is closed to questions.
Is that it?
Those are the categories?
Was that a question? I believe it was.
Yes, those are the categories.
Ireland,
no Bill Murray sequels, or no
Bill Murray's family movies?
I'll go the
Murray family, I think.
Alright. Would you like a movie with
one of Bill's brothers
from 1986
or 2012?
I'm gonna go 86.
I'm sorry, 2000...
No, I'm kidding.
Two stars
from Leonard.
1986.
He says this movie is a follow-up.
I don't know if that's true.
To another movie or just to something?
Yeah.
Terrible clue.
Has no story, this movie.
No real characterizations to hang on to
when you need to grip a characterization that feels real.
And he lists eight names.
How many names can you get in Tony T?
And then we will go to Scott Ackerman.
Because he won last week.
You are always figuring out the rules as this show goes.
It's so crazy.
I'm going to get this down.
That's like my goal for the 10-year anniversary.
To be really good at hosting this fucking game.
I think I'll go six names.
Okay.
Scott.
Scott.
1986.
It's a follow-up.
A follow-up.
I'm going to say name that movie.
Ooh.
All right.
I think Tony could do this.
Who cares?
I'm not even going to.
I'm not even going to.
That's my favorite fucking thing that Constantine says a couple of times in Muppets Most Wanted.
It was when people say things to him, he goes, who cares?
And it's super hilarious because
it's like old fashioned.
Keanu Reeves is in this movie?
What? I get it.
I get it. Okay. That's all I wanted.
I love movies, Scott.
You don't just like them.
Mm-mm.
Your six names
are Joe Flaherty,
William Hickey, Tom Villard,
Bob, for some reason, no cat, Goldthwait.
Maybe it's a different guy than the one I know.
Curtis Armstrong.
You know, Booger's going to be there when I interrupt Revenge of the Nerds
on June 19th at the Trocadero in Philadelphia as part of Awesome Fest.
And Joel Murray, what's the name of the movie,
Tony?
Joel Murray's third build.
It's a follow-up.
Can I ask a question?
No story.
When you said you weren't sure about it being a follow-up,
was that sarcasm?
It was more like
it's an interesting expression to use for this because it could indeed be called a follow-up. That's sarcasm. It was more like, it's just an interesting expression to use for this,
because it could indeed be called a follow-up,
but I don't think of it as a sequel.
Okay.
Hmm.
Jeff!
I don't think I know this.
That's okay.
Yeah. You know, Scott is good at making other people name it. I know this. That's okay. Yeah.
You know, Scott is good at making other people name it.
I know it.
It's his skill.
Jeff knows it.
A lot of people in the audience know it.
I know it because I'm looking right at it.
I selected it from other movies that have Marie in them.
This is wrong, but it's just the only movie that's coming to mind from this era.
So exciting if it's right.
Yeah.
I'm going to say Moving Violations.
Ooh.
Yeah, it's a very good guess under the circumstances, but Scott gets a point because this is called?
One Crazy Summer.
Correct, Jeff Tate.
Oh, I'm ashamed of myself.
Jeff Tate gets 2.02.
What's it a follow-up to?
The same guy made Better Off Dead, right?
It's right after Better Off Dead.
Oh, okay.
That's what he said. I was stuck in the sequel Dead. It's right after Better Off Dead. Oh, okay. That's why
I was stuck in the sequel thing.
I was thinking Police Academy.
I was thinking that.
That's what's great about something like that.
It's a terrible clue and it throws everybody off.
And I like
when people don't know it.
Thanks. You're welcome.
But good job. Because Moving
Violations was indeed a movie that had one of the Murray brothers.
Was it Joel, or was it...
I'm not sure, but it would have been right around that same time.
It was Joel.
I think it's Joel.
Was the 2012 one, the Bobcat-directed one, that Joel was in?
You know what, Scott?
What?
God Bless America?
This category is still going to remain in play.
Oh, my goodness.
And so is that year.
So I hope no one is listening when I say you're right.
Ned Ryerson?
Needle Nose Ned?
Oh shit.
Groundhog Day.
Groundhog Day.
This fucking Groundhog Day.
I didn't know where that was coming from.
I kept thinking when I was watching Edge of Tomorrow, I kept thinking
when I was watching
Edge of Tomorrow
I kept thinking
Ned Ryerson
whenever the one
big dumb fat guy
would get killed
and Tom Cruise
doesn't stop it
or whatever
but that movie's
in the future
I saw Edge of Tomorrow
and it's set in the future
so Groundhog Day
would have already been out
so at some point
he should have been like
it's like fucking
Groundhog Day
I keep having to do
the same thing again
yeah
or it's like
that Jake Gyllenhaal movie.
Code.
Source code.
Brokeback.
Source code.
Yeah, it's like Brokeback.
It's the same, got fucking the same guy every day in the same tent.
Hey, that's marriage.
Am I?
Jeff gets to pick, then we go to Scott.
Doesn't seem fair.
Doesn't seem fair. Doesn't seem fair at all. Doesn't even to Scott. Doesn't seem fair, doesn't seem fair,
doesn't seem fair at all.
Doesn't even seem right.
Doesn't seem correct.
Would you like Hannah Wakes the Bears?
That's movies where a bear attacks a human.
Bateman Rises, that's of course
the early films of Jason Bateman.
Or Chevy Chase, movies with a chase scene
featuring a Chevrolet.
Which one would you like to play, Jeff? Oh my God. Or Chevy Chase, movies with a chase scene featuring a Chevrolet. What the...
Which one would you like to play, Jeff?
Oh, my God.
I know none of those have anything to do
with the actors from Cheers,
but we might get to that category eventually.
It's a fun category.
That's what I was hoping for.
Yeah.
I will take...
Fucking...
What's the middle one?
Bateman Rises.
No, I'll take the car chase one.
Early Bateman.
Chevrolet. There's a car chase, there's a Chevy
in this movie. It's so recent, 2012,
that, you know, what's going on with the
Leonard Maltin app? It's dead
and there's no new stuff, and so
this particular review, he doesn't give stars,
but I can still tell you some things
he said about it.
He's not updating it?
No, it's done.
Really?
Yeah, he might start up again somewhere,
but for now it's done, so the app still works,
but there's no new material.
I can't believe he gave One Crazy Summer two stars,
because it seemed like he hated it.
Does this really seem like the time?
No, probably not.
Jeff, can we discuss this in the dressing room after the show over a little marijuana?
Yeah
He calls this movie from 2012
2012
that has a chase scene with a Chevrolet
He calls this movie ridiculous
He also calls it exciting He also calls movie ridiculous. He also calls it exciting.
He also calls it funny.
And he also calls it cheesy.
This is when Leonard
was off his meds.
He was on a rollercoaster
of emotion watching this movie.
An emotional Batman the ride.
And he says at the very end,
the film's escapist...
Please kill me. The film's escapist... Please kill me.
The film's escapist tone
takes us away from reality
as so many Hollywood movies do.
Thank goodness for that.
Really got sentimental on this movie
that has a car chase with a Chevrolet,
and six names are listed, Jeff.
How many is it going to take you
to
tie up the score
with Scott?
Two. Two names?
Sure.
It's your decision, you know.
Four.
Is that your final answer?
Yeah, I'll stay with four
Okay, he says four
What do you think of four, Tony?
I try to be impartial
I think people read stuff in my tone
Tony
That really does go to me
It goes to Scott
How many, Scott? That really does go to me? It goes to Scott.
How many, Scott?
That's why I tell you ahead of time, so you can correct me when I do it wrong later.
So it's four names to me from this movie from 2012.
I'm gonna say name that movie.
Alright.
Jeff gets a point
because of what he's gonna say
right after I say
excuse me, Robert Duvall
and David Oyelowo.
Jack Reacher.
That's correct. Jeff fucking. Jack Reacher. That's correct.
Jeff fucking loves Jack Reacher.
He just...
What was the next name?
The next name was
Werner Herzog.
I wouldn't know.
Richard Jenkins.
Rosamund Pike.
Cruz.
Very good.
Tom Cruise, who's been
lower than first build maybe twice
in the last 30 years. But good job.
You got a point, and so now it's just
up to Tony to try to get a three-way tie
and force the Asparagus P category,
which of course is my favorite.
And Tony, you get to pick
the category, and then we go
to Scott.
Would you like... Why am I always second?
Because you always challenge
instead of playing. Oh, okay. Yeah.
He says as if he knows
what he's talking about. I do. That's how it works,
right? Jordan?
Okay. Yes, sir. Oh, my God.
Sir, yes, sir!
Drop. Drop
to 20.
Bong hits. Yeah! Dog. drop drop do 20 bong hits
yeah
dog
do some dog hits
Tony
would you like
Scott Beowulf
that's movies with
Scott Beowulf
or both
it's been a category
for a while
I can't ditch it
because it always
gets a laugh
or Winds and Scrabble.
That's movies that start with the letter Q.
Or, sorry, Jeff,
and They're Always Glad You Came,
movies with actors from Cheers.
You know how Jeff feels about Cheers.
That's just, you know.
No, like, maybe I'm not, like, super into it.
Maybe it's, like, a cool thing to pick.
Like, because maybe it's not my favorite thing.
Yeah, am I supposed to be a man?
Am I supposed to be...
Oh, I don't care.
I don't mind.
It's not a big deal.
Well, it is a big deal.
And you want to know what the worst part is?
Do you want to know the worst part of all?
I never learned to read.
Wayne's World.
It is fucking Wayne's World.
By a hair.
Is it cool if I just hang for a minute?
Donnie just texted me.
He's almost done with his application.
Where's he applying for a job for?
Cafe 101.
You know what they're...
Pie Cutter.
That's a whole gig over there?
He's been there for an hour and a half.
I'm going to get a beer.
I'm not going to drink it.
Empty calories, bro.
Just for looks.
It's just for looks.
All right.
Tony, which one do you like?
Much to Jeff's delight, I think I'll go the cheers route.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Okay, you're walking right into it here.
All right.
But at least Scott is in between you,
and he'll probably just challenge you no matter what you say.
The year is 1996.
Two and a half stars from Leonard.
He says about this movie that some of the characters
are cretinous.
What? They're cretins.
Cretins. Cretinous. He says
this movie has bizarre goings on.
He also says about this movie that John
Lovitz, get this,
appears unbilled.
No way. John Lovitz
said, I don't want my name on this one.
But Leonard gave it two and a half,
and he lists eight names.
How many can you get in?
Eight names.
Tony Thaxton of Feliz Navi Pod.
Yes.
Go in strong eight names.
Okay.
Scott, what are you going to do with that?
I will go seven names
yeah finally
six finally makes a bid
Tony
five
name them
here we go
oh shit
alright here's your five names buddy
and thanks for being on the show again.
I really appreciate it.
What the fuck is his name?
It's like Miami, but with a K.
Kiami?
DeVille?
D-A-V-A-E-L?
I'll look at it.
Yeah, take a peek at it.
There you go, look at it. Yeah, take a peek at it.
There you go.
Look at it.
And then Tracy Walter, Paul Rubens, Mara Wilson, Pam Ferris, and M. Beth Davids.
From 96?
Yes, and this is not Schindler's List.
Well, M. Beth Davids was probably about third building that.
Something's going on with Mark Wahlberg.
He just came out to talk to the guy he thought was
tan.
I hope he does
some more off-mic antics.
They really add to the podcast.
Mark, don't forget your mic
the next time you come out.
I'm just wanting the room,
giving high fives.
Donnie, come get him!
Anyway, M. Beth Davids was in
Sinclair's List.
It was my little joke there.
And then there was two people
probably billed above her
in that film.
But anyway, what do you think it is, Tony?
96.
A Bug's Life?
John Ratzenberger's in all those movies.
That's all I got. Oh, alright. Alright, that's fair.
Where are you at on this one, Jeff? This is your category.
Do you have an idea?
It's one of two.
I can't get them all.
What does Scott think it is?
Is it blow?
No.
All right.
Was that one of the two, Jeff?
No, no.
It's either Matilda or Harriet the Spy.
I can't remember.
If you had to pick one, though.
Matilda.
That's correct.
And Scott is our winner.
Oh,
days do do nothing.
Once again,
can you come back
next week?
You don't have to
commit to it right now.
It kind of leaves it up
for surprise.
I will try.
He's going to try you guys.
He's going to check his phone.
And Tony Thaxton,
anything else to plug?
At Tony Thaxton
on Twitter,
I currently play
in a band called
The Pride of Eerie PA.
That's right.
And that's a reference from...
That thing you do.
That's correct, Jeff.
You get another point.
Jeff is tied with Scott.
We have to go to the time breaker.
Uh-oh.
Here we go.
Asparagus Pete.
And we're actually playing this coming Wednesday,
the 18th at Los Globos.
Or next Wednesday, I guess I should say.
Oh, shit.
What's that?
The 25th? The 18th. Oh. Oh, so we're in guess I should say. Oh shit, what's that? The 25th?
The 18th.
Week from tomorrow.
Can you remind me about that? I'd love to come see that.
Mike Furman's in that band.
Actually.
Breaking news.
Apparently Mike can't keep up with our vigorous
three shows a year schedule.
He's a bigger road pussy
than you are.
Is Steve Zahn
in the band? Because he was great in that movie.
Oh, I don't think
Steve Zahn is in, but I'll ask for you.
Is Steve Zahn in the band? No.
Oh, shit.
But I still want to come check you guys out.
Scott.
News.
Comedy Bang Bang, Ongoing, IFC,
Friday nights. Thursday. Exactly. 10. News. Comedy Bang Bang, ongoing, IFC, Friday nights.
Thursday.
Exactly.
10.30.
Because people watch when they want to watch these days.
Just watch it. Oh, but the season two DVD is coming out in a couple of weeks,
or even less than a couple of weeks.
Five and a half hours of bonus video that we put together.
Tell us more about it next week.
Yes.
Jeff.
Well.
we put together. Tell us more about it next week. Yes. Jeff.
Well.
I
have a, I just started a
podcast where I talk about cheers.
No, you didn't. What's it called?
Afternoon, everybody.
iTunes has
to approve the first one.
Apparently they're real strict about what they let on as a podcast.
And it takes a little while for them to be like,
this will do.
So once that happens, then it'll be on the internet
and you guys can listen and find out at my Twitter,
at JeffTate96.
And come see me in Cincinnati, July 10-13,
at Go Bananas.
Can I share a very, very quick Cheers-related story?
Is it less than a negative two minutes?
Yes.
Couldn't possibly be, but go.
I just, because I think he'll appreciate this.
Yeah.
A couple years ago,
I was taking a flight out of Chicago.
I go to the bookstore near my gate.
There's a sign saying,
George Witt is doing a signing
at the airport bookstore.
Pass security.
So you needed a ticket to get to the signing.
Really happened. And I waited for him,
took my picture with him,
got the book signed and everything.
I just love that it was past security.
Wait, by the way, also, not to cut you off, but
guess what he wrote. Take a guess.
In your book? Norm!
Exclamation point. Norm. You're close? Norm! Exclamation point. Norm.
You're close.
Cheers!
Exclamation point.
Cheers!
Yeah, I should have guessed cheers.
The show didn't have an exclamation point.
God damn it, that's obvious.
He took it up a notch.
I saw a play he was in once, and I went with the cast.
It was like Ed O'Neill and all these great actors.
I went to a bar with them.
He walked into the bar.
Everyone yelled, Norm. He sat down at the chair that he. He walked into the bar. Everyone yelled Norm.
He sat down at the chair that he always sits at at the bar.
Someone slid a beer over to him, and he never paid for it.
It was the most amazing thing I'd ever seen.
Yeah, yeah.
He's like a real hero of mine.
He's great.
He was awesome.
He was a nice dude.
Great story if it doesn't go on. What? he's great he was awesome he was a nice dude great
story if it
doesn't go on
we don't read your shithead
I didn't win
you're right thank you
I mean I did pretty well
you should have won
interesting shithead
so let's have one last round of applause
because they're all dying
for Tony Thaxton
Scott Aukerman and Jeff Tate
thank you
thanks guys
and
this is so hard to choose
as always gas prices are a shithead,
and Abe Lincoln is a shithead.
Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie.
Eyes unrolled, his viewing prowess makes him cocky.
There's no room in his heart for you,
cause Doug loves movies.
