Starting point is 00:00:00 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,
Starting point is 00:00:38 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,
Starting point is 00:01:09 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.
Starting point is 00:01:28 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
Starting point is 00:01:44 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.
Starting point is 00:02:11 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

Chris Mancini of course is on Comedy Film Nerds
Starting point is 00:04:42 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.
Starting point is 00:04:57 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
Starting point is 00:05:11 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
Starting point is 00:05:21 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.
Starting point is 00:05:35 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
Starting point is 00:05:52 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
Starting point is 00:06:07 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
Starting point is 00:06:23 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
Starting point is 00:06:40 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!
Starting point is 00:06:57 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?
Starting point is 00:07:29 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.
Starting point is 00:07:47 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
Starting point is 00:08:03 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.
Starting point is 00:08:14 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,
Starting point is 00:08:31 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.
Starting point is 00:08:49 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
Starting point is 00:09:05 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
Starting point is 00:09:21 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?
Starting point is 00:09:45 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.
Starting point is 00:10:00 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.
Starting point is 00:10:37 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.
Starting point is 00:10:54 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?
Starting point is 00:11:09 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.
Starting point is 00:11:25 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,
Starting point is 00:11:42 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
Starting point is 00:11:59 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.
Starting point is 00:12:18 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.
Starting point is 00:12:33 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.
Starting point is 00:12:48 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.
Starting point is 00:13:02 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.
Starting point is 00:13:13 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...
Starting point is 00:13:22 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
Starting point is 00:13:39 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?
Starting point is 00:13:56 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.
Starting point is 00:14:11 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.
Starting point is 00:14:30 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
Starting point is 00:14:47 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,
Starting point is 00:15:00 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,
Starting point is 00:15:12 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.
Starting point is 00:15:20 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?
Starting point is 00:15:39 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.
Starting point is 00:15:55 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.
Starting point is 00:16:26 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
Starting point is 00:16:42 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.
Starting point is 00:16:52 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...
Starting point is 00:17:05 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,
Starting point is 00:17:29 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,
Starting point is 00:17:47 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.
Starting point is 00:18:15 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.
Starting point is 00:18:46 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
Starting point is 00:19:02 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.
Starting point is 00:19:25 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
Starting point is 00:19:41 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.
Starting point is 00:19:58 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
Starting point is 00:20:10 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,
Starting point is 00:20:19 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.
Starting point is 00:20:30 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.
Starting point is 00:20:45 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
Starting point is 00:20:55 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
Starting point is 00:21:04 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,
Starting point is 00:21:11 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
Starting point is 00:21:19 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,
Starting point is 00:21:28 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.
Starting point is 00:21:44 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.
Starting point is 00:22:00 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.
Starting point is 00:22:19 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.
Starting point is 00:22:36 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,
Starting point is 00:22:49 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,
Starting point is 00:22:55 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.
Starting point is 00:23:02 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.
Starting point is 00:23:15 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?
Starting point is 00:23:25 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
Starting point is 00:23:32 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
Starting point is 00:23:40 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.
Starting point is 00:23:55 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.
Starting point is 00:24:08 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,
Starting point is 00:24:15 like, corporate malfeasance in the middle of like, ah, hi, don't know his wife's hot. Like, I don't,
Starting point is 00:24:21 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?
Starting point is 00:24:33 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.
Starting point is 00:24:50 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.
Starting point is 00:25:09 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.
Starting point is 00:25:24 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
Starting point is 00:25:44 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.
Starting point is 00:26:05 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.
Starting point is 00:26:26 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?
Starting point is 00:26:41 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.
Starting point is 00:26:58 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!
Starting point is 00:27:18 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.
Starting point is 00:27:33 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
Starting point is 00:27:50 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.
Starting point is 00:28:06 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
Starting point is 00:28:15 Guadalcanal don't yell out until it's your time Doris Day whatever the guy in the audience corrected him that's awesome
Starting point is 00:28:22 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,
Starting point is 00:28:44 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
Starting point is 00:29:04 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
Starting point is 00:29:22 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.
Starting point is 00:29:38 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
Starting point is 00:29:54 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.
Starting point is 00:30:09 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.
Starting point is 00:30:26 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?
Starting point is 00:30:46 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.
Starting point is 00:31:01 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
Starting point is 00:31:13 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.
Starting point is 00:31:34 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.
Starting point is 00:31:50 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.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Antonio. Antonio Banderas. Banderas. Congestion. Conquistador. Would you like a Antonio Banderas movie from 94, 95, or 96? 96.
Starting point is 00:32:18 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.
Starting point is 00:32:41 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
Starting point is 00:32:58 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.
Starting point is 00:33:14 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.
Starting point is 00:33:31 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,
Starting point is 00:33:43 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!
Starting point is 00:34:04 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.
Starting point is 00:34:20 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?
Starting point is 00:34:34 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.
Starting point is 00:34:49 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?
Starting point is 00:35:05 Shut up! Wait, that's not a western 2007 or 2008 69 boom yeah dick and pussy no that's the name
Starting point is 00:35:19 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
Starting point is 00:35:26 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.
Starting point is 00:35:49 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.
Starting point is 00:36:00 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.
Starting point is 00:36:20 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.
Starting point is 00:36:38 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.
Starting point is 00:36:59 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.
Starting point is 00:37:08 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.
Starting point is 00:37:15 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.

Starting point is 00:38:29 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.
Starting point is 00:38:45 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.
