Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies!
Hey everybody, my name is, and I love movies.
It's August 10th,
and Doug Loves Movies is coming to you from...
I stopped for a second there
because I wasn't sure if it's August 10th or not.
I just came from Joe Rogan's podcast,
and it's a rule.
He'll choke you out if you don't smoke weed
before doing the podcast.
So it's a good thing I had a limo available to drive me here.
Douglas Movies is coming to you from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles in front of a live audience.
That's you guys. Make some noise like you're alive.
Before Comedy Death Ray, which happens every Tuesday, and I'm here most Tuesdays before it.
If you have a seat for Comedy Death Ray,
then that helps you get into this show.
But, of course, you can also come to this show
and leave before Comedy Death Ray.
It's always free.
I had a great time at the Laughing Skull Comedy Club
in Atlanta, Georgia.
We played the Leonard Mullen game three out of the six shows
because the audience demanded it.
And one dude got coal miners
daughter with a bid
of two negative names.
Yeah, an audience member was like,
I can name that in two negative names.
And of course, now the rule is
you have to name them in order.
And he got Sissy Spacek
and Tommy Lee Jones in order
for Coal Miner's Daughter so that guy was very impressive
and he won a small t-shirt that he
proceeded to take a picture of his child and then put it on Twitter
wearing the two-trunked
tweet shirt so of course
I retweeted it and said someone should notify child services
so the Zac Efron movie So, of course, I retweeted it and said someone should notify child services.
So the Zac Efron movie, Charlie St. Cloud, came out.
And, yeah, industry pundits had the nerve to say that it had a disappointing opening at the box office.
Right?
And, like, who wanted to see that they always like uh they kept saying that um
zach efron this is proof that he can't open a movie and i think it's proof that zach efron
can't open a movie called charlie saint cloud like what a horrible title like they would have
done more business if it was called dead brother speaking of, my guests tonight
No, they're not black
They are
They are brothers and sisters in podcasting

That's the dorkiest voice.
That's great.
I don't know where that voice came from.
Hello and welcome.
He's calling me the weasel.
Come on, tune in at 7 a.m.
A podcast voice.
If you're having problems with your hard drive,
I could give you some IT information.
Today was all about Cthulhu.
Today's Dork Forest is all about Cthulhu. Why, is it Tuesday already?
Tuesday's are about Cthulhu.
If it's Tuesday, it must be Cthulhu.
It's H.P. Lovecraft Day.
Oh, wow. She's played a...
Do I have this correct? A Deadwood LARP?
Is that correct? You've done that in your home.
We've had people over. Deadwood LARP.
People have created their own
bustles.
Her kitchen was Chinatown.
And I played Mrs. Wu.
Yeah. A LARP means live action role play. Her kitchen was Chinatown And I played Mrs. Wu
A LARP means
Live action role play
It's an adult play date with costumes
And name tags
And drinking
And in the case of Deadwood, swearing and rape
And a great deal of racism
Gunplay, swearing and rape
Who's going to rape the Chinamen?
Well that's how you get experience points

Do you guys want to come over and LARP some Deadwood?
We're totally going to GSR it.
Guns rape
and what was the other one?
Rose roses.
That's Chris Mancini's voice. Chris Mancini
of course is on Comedy Film Nerds
with my friend Graham Elwood
who all the listeners are probably familiar with.
Hello.
I don't have a podcasting voice.
You know, Chris, I do.
Yeah.
You guys just talk.
You just talk about comedy and films.
Yes.
And Jackie actually is a writer for the site ComedyFilmNerds.com.
She writes very funny movie reviews.
And she's still angry that we sent her to see Meet Dave.
Who wouldn't be? Wow, but that's a while ago. She writes very funny movie reviews. And she's still angry that we sent her to see Meet Dave. Who wouldn't be?
Wow, but that's a while ago.
Maybe you should let it go.
Hasn't Eddie Murphy
come up with something else
sequally lame since then?
Just his Christmas party.
What was that one about?
There was that movie about him
and his kid
and how his kid
had a fantasy friend
that helped him
with his business.
What was that called?
That was Vampire in Brooklyn. What was that called?
Vampire in Brooklyn.
What's it called?
Imagine That.
Grandma did not email me to go to that movie.
No, because she said in a review of Meet Dave from a year ago,
Grandma would will do time in hell for making
me review this movie.
It was a terrible experience.
See, it scarred her.
Are you afraid of robots
that are full of aliens
from another world pretending
to be a human?
I'm afraid that the reason that they're not
going to attack us is because Judah Friedlander
really likes Blind Date.
That's how bad that movie was.
Judah Friedlander said that they weren't going to take our water
because they liked Blind Date.
Yeah, yeah. I was also
stunned. Stunned.
I don't know about anybody else, but I don't
understand any of what you just said.
Try living through it.
That was confusing.
I think what you want to take away from that is that everyone
should be afraid of robots.
No. No. No, no. There are good
robots. Uh, no. Okay. Skydance is no. There are good robots. Uh, no.
Okay. Yeah, good robots
are just, yeah, good intentions
robots. Yeah, they're just biding their time.
Your iPhone is really going tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.
It's all robots
do is sit around going, when am I going to take
over? I'm just going to pretend to be
a servant for now. Yes.
But someday I'm going to jump up and
it's going to be on. Oh Oh look, a Skynet app.
I wish that existed.
Don't download that.
Don't do it.
But it's on sale for 99 cents.
Don't do it! Stop saying it was Skynet!
I got a great app for 99 cents that I'm not
going to share with you guys right now because it'll get us
way off topic.
But it's called Shaken Belchch and it's only 99 cents and on your phone if you shake your phone for as long as you shake it
then when you stop it'll belch for that long and uh and if you press a button it'll actually say
words while it's belching you know what maybe one of those words maybe the robots should take over
well that's that's where the robots are sneaking in, is through shake and belch.
Like, oh, isn't this fun?
Oh, it's belching.
And then next thing you know, you're taking money out of your bank account and giving it to shake and belch.
That's where they're going to come in.
I'm so glad that's where the technology is.
We don't really need a cure for cancer, but we do need shake and belch.
Sure.
I thought you guys.
This crowd is on board.
Do your shows have theme songs?
Does the Comedy Film Nerds have a theme song? Yes.
We do. How does that go?
Sent in by a listener. Yeah, we sent
a listener sent in and it's all like
meep meep meep. It's all like robots because
we want to fight them.
And he cut in clips of
Chris and I from the show and stuff like that.
And then he's like,
from Gravity Films.
Maybe he doesn't announce her voice.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Because I'd sound like the guy
from Silence of the Lambs.
Put this podcast in the bucket.
Well, Chris and I tuck our penises
between our legs when we do the podcast.
So it's really fun.
Unless we run out of tape.
Does Dork Forest have a theme song, Jackie it's really fun. Unless we run out of tape. Does Dork Forest
have a theme song, Jackie? It does not.
Today I held the phone up to,
because I do it via, it has the shittiest
sound quality ever, and I held the phone
up to a speaker that was playing
Air Supply, making love out of nothing at all.
Because it's called the Dork
Forest. Why not? There's room for everyone.
Yeah, that's cool.
I have the worst microphone stand ever.
It keeps trying to blow me.
Yeah, they're all...
Steve Agee already got blown by that mic stand
in a previous episode.
It was very embarrassing
because there was an Oscar nominee sitting next to him.
That's the other way the robots take over.
They blow you, and just when you're getting blown, that way the robots take over? Yep. They blow you
and just when you're getting blown, that's when they take over
the banks. I got an idea. Take it out of the
stand and just hold it. No.
Like you do every night in your
profession.
Point
taken.
So, people have
not people, but... It's a Star Trek
symbol. Star Trek. Yeah.
Once or twice, folks have come to me about doing a cover of the theme song for I Love
Movies, or now Doug Loves Movies.
And I say, sure, yeah, send it to me.
And this dude called Chris Kerrigan, I think his name is.
Boo.
He said, can my choir sing the theme song?
Would you use that?
And I went, that sounds awesome.
Do it and send it in.
And he sent something, and now I want everyone to hear it.
No, he just sent a recording.
But let's...
Does he want you to come to his group?
Let's listen to it.
Let's listen to the Chris Kerrigan Choir as soon as they can. God hates handy rappers screaming baby sir, he sees.
With the acting cock who cradles him, his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see.
A star-crossed movie. see as the God who is.
Okay, so.
That's amazing.
I want to ascend
to heaven now because of that.
But they took like a 20 second
song and made it a minute 15.
It sounds
like his word for choir is Trent
Reznor's word for band.
Oh, the crowd turned. They went laughing.
Oh, wait, yes.
We think that's funny. No, no, no.
We're offended. We can't decide what
reaction to have.
The thing is that
that's one guy
recorded his singing all the parts.
He's the entire choir.
You figured that out
from listening to it?
Yeah, that was the Tread Rezzer joke.
Yeah, that's all he does. His band is his keyboard.
His band is him by himself.
Now I'm laughing.
Wow.
Now I'm laughing.
This is the nerdiest nerd panel you could ever have.
We're outnerding ourselves.
Do you have a badly drawn boy reference that you can also do?
That'd be fantastic.
Or do you just have a badly drawn boy reference?
You all right?
Let's see.
Yeah.
You got to be careful where you put the paws in that.
So anyway, I want to thank that guy for sending it in,
but I'm not going to open the show with that for several weeks because
I want people to be awake when the show begins.
It's more
soothing than it is peppy.
It's beautiful work.
It really is.
I knew I had to establish
I had to
forget it.
I said I
had a panel of music experts
and that's why I decided to play it for you guys.
And you really summed it up
nicely with
Trent Reznor references.
It's quite a leap.
So, if you've been in the movies lately, you're
all film nerds. What have you
seen? Let's start with Chris Mancini from
Comedy Film Nerds. I saw Flipped over the weekend.
Flipped? Yes. Now,
you were aware that this was a movie about
teenagers directed by Rob Reiner, and you still
win.
Did you think it was about selling a house?
Yes.
Boom. So why'd you go?
Were you on assignment for the site?
Yes, and my wife wanted to go.
Oh, okay. And what'd you think? Okay, here assignment for the site? Yes, and my wife wanted to go. Oh, okay.
And what'd you think?
Okay, here's the thing.
It was one of those movies that, like,
it's kind of marketed for kids and a family movie,
and it is it.
It's like a dark, revolutionary road drama
with kids in it.
What?
And you'd never...
It's like the worst trailer since Kick-Ass.
The billboard is two kids sitting in a tree
looking like they're about to learn about love.
Yeah, that doesn't happen.
What?
The way it starts is...
This movie is flipped.
Yeah, it is.
It's crazy.
And it starts...
These kids are like...
One of them...
They start out really young.
Like, before grade school,
the girl falls for the boy.
Nice, yeah.
And then the boy...
Throughout the entire grade school career,
the boy's kind of a vapid tool
in 5th and 6th grade
I'm thinking about using that as the title of my next album
vapid tool
and you're like well why can she possibly
no this isn't okay
and as you know
even if you haven't seen the trailer
eventually they're going to come to some kind of an agreement
and the cool thing was that
Rob Reiner is such a good director that the movie
gets better when it's not focusing on the leads.
When it's not about the kids, when they
actually go to the families, it's
pretty interesting. Like what actors are we talking about?
Anthony Edwards, A.E. Quinn,
Rebecca
Desmornay, and
some other lady.
Oh, and the guy from Frasier, John Mahoney.
Oh, yeah, that lady.
Yeah.
So all the adult characters are great, and it's fun.
It's like this weird mix of Stand By Me and Revolutionary Road.
What?
Finally.
We found an aborted baby by the railroad tracks.
Yeah.
You heard me.
Throw in Barry Levinson doing Racing With the Moon, and it's a hit.
Yeah, yeah.
It's too much.
I get that.
I get that.
So if you're into dramas that have boring leads, you're really going to enjoy this movie.
Oh, I'm going to see the shit out of it on a plane.
That movie's playing on a plane for sure.
When the movie is not focusing on the leads, it's actually pretty good.
But did Rob Reiner finally halt the
each movie I make is going to be worse than the last thing
that he's been working on for decades?
This is not his worst movie.
It's worth watching.
On a plane.
Alright.
Yeah, I will.
From the ads and stuff, I went,
it seems smart that Rob Reiner's trying to do something kind of small.
It's a movie that's, like,
marketed to kids,
which it isn't,
and it's, I don't even know,
they probably figured,
you know what,
I don't know who to market this to,
just cut something together.
Because it's really
kind of dark in places.
Like, you know,
they visit, like,
the retarded brothers
in the insane asylum
and all this weird stuff.
Wait, is he insane or retarded?
That's not in the...
He's insanely retarded.
weird stuff.
Is he insane or retarded?
He's insanely retarded.
I want to kill you.
So Jackie, have you been to the cinema lately?
Sadly,
I swear to God, I think the last movie I saw was Meet Dave.
I saw, I think, Joan movie I saw was... Was Meet Dave. Was not Meet Dave.
I saw, I think, Joan Rivers and that Sex and the City 2 crap.
Joan Rivers is a good documentary.
Joan Rivers was amazing, actually. It's really good.
Joan Rivers was fascinating.
Her work schedule is ridiculous.
She wants to work four times a day, it turns out, and then take a red eye.
I don't even want to take a red eye.
And she's 75, like, humping around doing gigs and red eye flights.
It's what she loves
getting in fights with cops it's the weirdest thing the crazy thing is that she says in the
middle of that movie she says that she's an actress playing a stand-up comic and i call
bullshit on that because actors act and she uh goes down a crappy hallway to perform in the
bronx for a hundred people sitting uh with a stool that's all ripped up and that's a comic.
That's not an actress.
She would be doing theater.
She would be acting.
But she thinks of her stand-up as a
theater performance kind of thing.
Like she wanted to be an actress
in the early going.
Wasn't considered
necessarily pretty enough and developed
a huge sense of humor.
Necessarily, no.
Yeah.
Yeah, but I mean,
I didn't think she was ugly when she was younger.
No, no, she was normal looking.
Normal.
Yeah, yeah, she had regular features.
But she had like, you know,
she had like the Mad Men outfits on
in the clips in the movie.
It's amazing seeing her with Johnny Carson and stuff.
Oh, that Carson, that line,
that joke is fantastic about not being pretty
and how no guy has...
No guy's ever reached up a girl's skirt for a library card.
That's it.
That's a fantastic joke.
Looking for a library card.
And the worst impression of her.
No guy has ever had a slave in Blavin.
Girls with girls and men with men.
I did a lot of cross-country flying in the last couple weeks,
so I saw Iron Man 2 three times.
Sweet.
And totally reinforced all my opinions of it that I had
from the first time I saw it a year or so ago.
It really enhances a movie seeing it on a plane, doesn't it?
It's been chopped to death.
Well, yeah, it's so funny when you look up
in the four different screens that you can see from your seat,
the picture is a different color on every single one of them,
and you have to sort of pick the one that's closest
to resembling what a motion picture should look like.
Oh, I don't know if Iron Man 2 was shot in sepia.
I'm going to go with the one where there's at least
some other colors besides beige.
Will you bring your field glasses on the plane?
Yeah, I totally want to look at the farthest screen possible, but through binoculars.
But the thing about that movie, lots of things jumped out at me. I still think it's extremely strange that Sam Rockwell thought it was a character note
that he has crazy orange palms from tanning in that one scene with Mickey Rourke,
but never speaks of it.
The character would have said something.
Didn't that actually happen on set?
He couldn't get it off?
Something.
He tried to put on bronzer and he put too much on his hands or something.
Yeah.
Maybe he used it as a lube
and then your hands are completely ruined.
I want a tan dick.
Orange.
But everything that I didn't like about it the first time,
I didn't like, you know, Sam Jackson just being a character.
All he's doing is trying to recruit somebody
through the whole movie and he doesn't do anything kick-ass
other than just sit around and yell at Robert Downey Jr.
I didn't like that Scarlett Johansson has two fight scenes,
and one of them is with Jon Favreau.
And nothing really to do other than act like a really amazing secretary.
But my new favorite qualm about the movie,
and I can say it because now everyone's seen it.
If you haven't seen it, fuck you.
This is a big spoiler.
When Mickey Rourke's Russian character
is laying there in
his suit, and you suddenly, at the very
end of the movie, and you hear that beep,
beep, beep, and then Robert Downey Jr.
figures out that all the suits have been
rigged to explode, you know, him and
War Machine are both like,
holy shit, all of them are going to explode?
Mickey Rourke goes,
you lose.
Or his dying words,
but his dying words should be, you lose.
Unless you're wearing suits where you can
fly away from the explosions.
Like they have fucking
plenty of time. Robert J.J. Jr.
flies clear across town back to the
expo and fucking catches
Gwyneth Paltrow
and then flies her away
from the dead robots
that are near her
and then all the robots
explode.
Like the you lose
is so premature
and there should so be
a moment where he flies
back over to him
and goes,
nuh-uh.
And then,
and then Mickey Rourke
fucking explodes.
Oh man.
Nuh-uh.
That really should be on the DVD.
I hope it is.
Those are the bonus movies.
But anyway, there was still a lot of stuff that I liked about it,
and I look forward to more of those movies.
But seeing it three times really illuminates it.
It's not as exciting.
That makes a movie either better or worse when you see a movie.
You can watch a movie the first time and go,
oh, that was decent. And then after a while you go, wow, that scene's amazing. That makes a movie either better or worse when you see a movie. Like, you can watch a movie the first time and go, oh, that was decent.
And then after a while,
you go, wow, that scene's amazing.
That scene's amazing.
Like, I did that with Cast Away.
But then a movie like Iron Man 2,
you just go, oh, yeah,
it was shitty.
I was just fucking bored
in Omaha,
wherever the fuck
we saw that movie.
It was not good.
Yeah, but it has good parts.
Yeah.
But also...
Great movie to watch
with a fast-forward button. Also, Don Cheadle becomes like such a... Great movie to watch with a fast forward button.
Also, Don Cheadle
becomes like such a...
His character
suddenly is like
a cool hipster
in the very last scene.
He's like,
I want to hang on
to this suit for a minute.
Like that character
never used a black expression
in either movie
and suddenly
at the very end
of the second one
he's like,
I need this for a minute.
I like the high powered
suit fist fight.
You all have rockets
and guns on your suits
and you're punching each other
in your giant armored suit. That's true,
but those bullets bounce off of those
armored suits. Oh, one of them
had rockets. Maybe if you do it close enough.
You lose.
You lose. And Graham, have you
seen anything before we start playing
some games? I saw the other guys, and
okay.
It was, you know, there was very funny moments in it. We were talking about it. We recorded an episode I saw the other guys. Okay.
There was very funny moments in it.
We were talking about it.
We recorded an episode of Film Nerds today.
And no one will ever hear it. No one will ever hear it because my computer crashed and it's lost.
So fuck you.
So you can say it again right now and it won't be repetitive.
That's right.
This is new to you, bitches.
We were talking about it on the show.
I like Adam McKay, and
then there were some definitely funny laugh out loud moments, but it also had many sort
of, okay, I get it.
Like, Will Ferrell just sort of, you know, kind of doing the same thing that he does,
and I get, you know, like, we...
I liked Anchorman.
Yeah.
I understand it's the same movie.
You know, it's...
But tries harder to tell a story because of the whole criminal element.
It's got the bad guy story.
Right.
I mean, Will Ferrell always plays a guy that has no self-awareness.
And he's either like cocky, no self-awareness, or in this case, he's dumb.
Or soccer dad.
Or soccer dad, no self-awareness.
You know what I mean?
And so he's just still doing a version of that.
I mean, there's still funny moments in it.
The whole thing with Eva Mendes, like, she's so hot and he just doesn't. It's still, I mean, there's still funny moments in it. The whole thing with Eva Mendez, like she's so hot and he just doesn't,
he's like,
even though in the trailer,
you're like,
I get it.
They did it so much.
It,
that was funny to me.
That repetition was funny,
but the rest of the movie,
there's so many parts where you're like,
yeah,
okay.
Like,
I'd like to see Adam McKay.
I know he,
him and not direct Will Ferrell.
Yeah.
I'd love to see that.
Like pick somebody else.
Like,
I know that those guys like finish each other's sentences,
and they're so on the same page,
but he needs to explain.
I think Adam McKay's a funny guy,
and he knows how to do comedy,
but I think he needs to branch out a little bit.
That's what I would say.
It's an okay movie.
Honestly, you'll see it on a plane, and you'll laugh.
It's all right.
It'll pass the time.
Even in CPF.
There's not too much swearing for a plane?
It's like PG-13?
I don't know. Yeah, well, there's some. If it's There's not too much Swearing for a plane It's like PG-13 I don't Yeah
Well there's some
If it's R
Then it won't be on a plane
But I think it's PG-13
Yeah it is PG-13
It'll be on Virgin Atlantic
I think when they made
That semi-pro movie
Or what was it called
Yeah semi-pro
With Will Ferrell
It was like really dirty
Lots of dirty jokes
And it got an R
And then people kind of
Blamed the R rating
On it not doing well
As opposed to
It was the 17th sports movie
that Will Ferrell did in a row,
and maybe people had just been tired of that.
Or maybe the kids that like it the most,
yeah, bewitched.
But the one weird thing that was,
in the credits,
they all of a sudden go at,
we're throwing up all these statistics
about the banking,
all the money they got
from the bailout
and the banks.
It turned into a documentary
with the,
with the,
what did this have to do
with the wacky cop comedy?
Like,
when did,
when are we just gonna throw up,
like,
corporate malfeasance
in the middle of like,
ah,
hi,
don't know his wife's hot.
Like,
I don't,
I didn't,
I didn't get that.
I didn't get that at all.
Studio subliminal message,
go see Wall Street. Yeah. Well, that's I didn't get that at all. Do you have a subliminal message? Go see Wall Street.
Yeah.
Because money never sleeps.
Doesn't that subtitle ruin it?
How serious of a movie could it be if it's called
Wall Street 2, Money Never Sleeps?
Money Never Sleeps.
Cash Takes a Nap.
I hope there's a good one.
I love the subtit proud of that.
That's awesome.
That's terrible.
Shall we play a game?
Yes.
Let's play the Leonard Mullen game.
A lot of name tags in the house.
Yeah, a lot of name tags, of course.
I like to turn here to my right,
and that's sort of the catbird section
where the people that are sitting there are the ones that I usually pick.
But we've got some very exciting name tags all throughout the house.
I like Forrest.
Is that really your name, Forrest?
My name.
Okay.
Especially since he's got a T-shirt, a vest, and a tie around his bald neck.
Yeah.
Kind of creepy.
Is that a neck T-shirt? and a tie around his bald neck. Yeah. Kind of creepy.
Is that a neck t-shirt?
It's either like drunk office party guy or weird sex club.
Roll of keys.
Or trendy scarecrow.
What year were you born, Forrest?
Ninety-one.
Ninety-one, so your parents saw Forrest Gump
and then went for it.
Is your middle name Gump?
That'd be awesome.
Alright, well, thanks for wearing a name tag for us,
but we're going to go to...
We're going to go to these folks over here.
Well, they figured it out.
You guys will figure it out next.
It's always free to get in, so you can try again.
We got TJ is his name tag, and then his shirt says Hooker on it.
Yes.
So that's pretty pimped out.
TJ Hooker.
And then he's got a young lady sitting next to him.
Erica is kind of sideways right there, but I figured it out.
Yeah, fix that.
No, you don't have to worry about it. I know now.
And then we got Maury. So
Chris Mancini will play for TJ,
Graham Elwood will play for Erica,
and Jackie Cation
is going to play for Maury.
You're screwed, Maury.
You think you're going to be bad at this, Jackie?
Yeah, I don't predict success unless you got
a lot of questions about Doris Day movies.
Let's do it.
That would be so crazy if that was one of the categories I invented, especially for today.
But that is not the case.
Me and my air supply.
I don't know why.
Hi, I've gone mad.
All right, well, we'll let you pick, Jackie, to start things off.
And then we'll move to Chris and then Graham. And we'll go in that order. And we'll let you pick, Jackie, to start things off, and then we'll move to Chris and then Graham,
and we'll go in that order,
and we'll let you pick the first movie, Jackie.
Would you like a war movie?
An Antonio Banderas movie?
Because it's his birthday today.
Yay!
Happy birthday.
August 10th.
Zorro!
And I am the naso next bee.
Are you suffering from
congestion?
I am the nasonex B.
I am the nasonex B.
And then your third category is
called In Theaters Now.
It's motion pictures that are in theaters
as we speak. So would you like to
do a war movie?
Oh, interesting choice by an interested player. would you like to do a war movie? Oh, interesting choice
by an interested player.
Would you like a war movie
from 1987,
1999, or
2010?
A war movie from this year.
2010. Here we go.
Alright.
Hurt Locker. No, this is not how
it works, Jackie.
That was 2009. There's a lot of stuff
that has to happen
before people start
guessing names of movies
don't put so much
pressure on yourself
Sandra Day
goes to
Guadalcanal
don't yell out
until it's your time
Doris Day
whatever
the guy in the audience
corrected him
that's awesome
you meant Doris Day
with your weird reference that didn't make any sense anyway.
Sandra Day O'Connor, the Supreme Court Justice,
went to Guadalcanal.
She fought World War II.
Open up a fucking history book.
Forrest, straighten your tie.
I like the guy with the shirt that says,
Hi, I'm Ray, but his name tag says Scott
I don't know what kind of creep shit they got going on
This movie has a motion sickness approach
To visual storytelling
And
I give clues from the review Jackie
And then
The last thing he says about it
Is Jackie. And then the last thing he says about it is
a movie made by so
many smart people shouldn't show its hand
at the very start.
I don't know what that means.
Maybe you do. Maybe you do. So now
Jackie, the
object is to say how many names you think you can
guess it in and there are
ten names. Ten names. think you can guess it in and there are ten names.
Ten names. So you do the first bid.
Right. How many names do you think they get this
movie? There's no rating
because it's a current movie. Len doesn't give
stars to current movies. Right. He doesn't
judge. 2010. Not until the year is over.
And it
has a motion sickness
approach to storytelling.
And that other thing I said
It's made by so many smart people
But it shouldn't show its hand
At the very start
Right, right
How many names do you think you can get it in?
Zero, zero
She says zero names
So now here's the thing, Jackie, that you might not be aware of
Chris Mancini has the option to guess it in negative names
Which means you have to name the cast
members, however many you think
you can get it in, and the title.
How do you do negative names?
From the top of the cast list.
You have to know who is the lead, then who is next,
depending on how many names you say.
Do you have an idea what it is, Chris?
So how many names do you think, how many
negative names, like the top person?
One.
So you say negative one.
Graham Elwood, what do you have to offer?
Film nerd Chris Mancini, name that movie.
All right, so name the movie and the very lead person in it.
Green Zone Matt Damon.
That is correct.
Boom.
Now, Jackie, if you'd have known about negative names, would you have started with negative names?
Yep. Yeah, I would have.
And would either of you know who the second build person is in that movie?
Since I was going to guess Blair Witch Project?
No, I'm kidding.
Who do you think the second build person was?
Second build?
God, who else was in that? I didn't see it.
Greg Kinnear.
I don't know.
Greg Kinnear, yes.
Greg Kinnear was in the audience.
Nice one, nice one.near he played like the senator
and then Craig Ferguson I think
yes
I don't see his name anywhere on here
I kind of am intrigued to see it though
because Amy Ryan's in it and she's great
I love her
there's got to be a girl I like
for me to watch a war movie
there's usually no girls
because then that boner
is not going to go to waste.
All right.
So, Chris Messini
got the point for that.
And since Graham said name it
and Chris did,
we'll start with Jackie
once again.
And Jackie, let's do Antonio Banderas movies.
Yes.
Or.
Or.
You get two more categories.
In theaters now.
Right.
Or he's got a new show coming out in September called Boardwalk Empire that looks amazing.
Martin Scorsese movies.
I got to go Antonio.
Antonio.
Antonio Banderas.
Banderas.
Congestion.
Conquistador.
Would you like a Antonio Banderas movie
from 94, 95, or 96?
96.
Nice.
Leonard Maltin gives it two and a half stars.
Probably accurate.
I haven't seen it in a long time, but he says it's lavish.
Calls it lavish.
And he says...
That's just Antonio. He's lavish.
And he says as a pageant, or as pageant, it works.
But there's no emotional center.
In Antonio Banderas.
A movie that he's in.
A movie that he's in.
Oh, oh, oh, alright.
1996, two and a half stars, no emotional center.
Lavish. The negative one for Antonio Banderas?
What? No, he can't be
one of the names, right? Because he's in it.
Well, sure he can. If you go negative, you've got to put him
in the right place. Oh, right on, right on.
So you think you know what it is?
Is that what you're saying?
How many names do you think you get it in?
There are four names listed.
Just four names.
A lot more people than that were in it, though.
I know that.
A lot more people took to make that movie.
But there was no emotional center.
Oh, I've got to go.
I've got to.
I think I'm wrong. so I gotta go zero.
Zero. Okay, back to Chris.
Do you think you know what it is?
I'll do a negative two.
Chris always knows. What a film nerd!
Jesus.
This guy's amazing.
Chris, name that movie.
Name that movie, buddy.
I think the two names are Tom Hanks,
Antonio Banderas, and it's Philadelphia
No, it's Madonna
and Antonio Banderas and it's Evita
Oh shit, don't cry for me
Philadelphia
I always thought
you'd be my boyfriend
Nice!
Philadelphia was 94, right?
I could look it up, but I really don't care.
Okay.
Fair enough, fair enough.
That speaks to me.
That's fair.
All right, so Graham has a point, and Chris has a point,
and let's start it with Jackie again.
Really?
That's how it works?
Yeah, because you guys are challenging each other and getting points,
and she's just sitting there.
Just sitting there.
But she starts off with zero
bits. You start off with good bits.
Did you think it was Evita, Jackie?
Nope.
Okay. Let's go
Westerns, In Theaters
Now, or Scorsese? Westerns.
All right, Jackie. I'm very
certain of what I'm picking.
That's all we know so far.
I know exactly what I want to hear about.
I can repeat one of the words you tell me.
Let's go. Let's do it. Let's go there.
Yes.
Alright, would you like a movie
from 1969?
Right, everybody?
Oh, The Year Easy Rider
was made?
Shut up! Wait, that's not a western
2007
or 2008
69
boom
yeah
dick and pussy
no that's the name
of one of the westerns
right
dick and pussy
ride alone
my brother used to
take the cannon
yeah it was about
a gunslinger and his cat
It's Richard Long and a cat
Meow meow meow meow
That's what Pussy said
Don't fuck with my pussy
I will shoot some daylight in you
Okay
So it's from 1969 The clips are always so hard I will shoot some daylight in you. Okay.
So it's from 1969 as we established.
The clues are always so hard.
They're so hard, Leonard Moulton.
They're hard.
Yeah, well, I don't want to say what he said about it that gives it away.
I know.
He says a lot of things that give it away.
But it's got, he gives it three stars.
Okay.
I don't know.
I haven't seen it in a long time, but I thought it was more of a classic than that. Oh, fair enough.
Somebody's agreeing with me in the audience.
It's Maury.
You can either see what's on my phone or he's already figured it out.
But don't yell out answers, you guys, even if it's to help your partner.
Spell it in sign language. I don't understand.
1969.
He says it's a film version of a wonderful novel.
And he says that there was a sequel.
There's a sequel to this movie.
And there are eight names.
Jackie Cation.
Eight names.
Dork Forest.
Dork Forest.
Turns out, what is my dorkdom?
Is it movies?
Eight names. 69.
There's a sequel
and it was a book?
What?
Yeah, it's based on a book and then they made a sequel movie.
See, I can repeat shit.
Sure.
How many names?
You don't always have to pick zero.
You can say eight. You can start at You don't always have to pick zero. You don't have to. You know what I mean? You can say eight.
You can start at eight names.
Oh, right.
See what happens.
Oh, right, right.
Oh, that's true.
You can bid.
You don't have to fucking kill yourself out of the first one.
Right out of the gate.
Right out of the gate.
Rush your roulette.
Put four bullets in there.
Do it.
Like, you can.
Oh, give yourself a chance.
I'll go get the red headband.
Yeah.
Yes.
Let us do five.
Five. There you go. Five days is the opening date. Somebody beat that. Chris do five. Five, there you go.
Somebody beat that.
Chris Mancini from Comedy Film Nerds.
Three.
Says three names.
Your Comedy Film Nerds partner,
Graham Elwood, says two names.
Back to JK.
All right, I'll do it in one.
She says one name, Chris Mancini.
Negative one.
You guys are crazy.
I want to have
your baby.
I am
moist.
That's a lot. I'm sorry.
Chris says negative one names, Graham.
He can say boner.
You're fucking out of your mind. Name that movie.
Alright. Alright. Name that movie,
Chris. Clint Eastwood, Fistful of Dollars.
You know, I love your Confident wrong answers
I was going to go good
Is it the Wild Bunch?
There was a sequel
I'll read the names for you guys
Jeff Corey, Dennis Hopper, Strother Martin
Robert Duvall, Jeremy Slate, Kim Darby
Glenn Campbell
And John Wayne
John Wayne, The Searchers?
No, there was no sequel to The Searchers.
It was called True Grit.
True Grit!
I thought it was The Wild Bunch.
I was thinking that Peckham's No Sequel.
When you make your mind up about what it is,
then you get into those negative name games.
Rooster Cockburn?
Yeah, it was called Rooster Cockburn, the sequel.
Which I believe was his name in True Grit.
I've seen both of them.
And True Grit is being currently remade
starring Matt Damon by the Coen brothers.
Because it was broken.
Let's fucking remake it because it's broken.
I'll tell you something, Jackie.
Those are the one guys that I actually think
could remake a movie correctly.
Yeah, I think they'll make it.
It's like Joel Schumacher in True Grit.
Like, fuck yourself.
We're going to have more Western butt than ever.
This is what he said about Batman, more bat butt than ever.
I will never forgive him for that.
That's treason.
I'm sorry.
But you are kind of into bat butt.
Yes.
You just don't want it shoved in your face.
I don't want it shoved in my face.
Yeah, you like subtle bat butt.
I want it polished. You want it shoved in your face. I don't want it shoved in my face. Yeah, you like subtle bat butt. I want it polished.
