Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds
With 50 acid popcorn kernels in his teeth
They're still not warm, then he won't sleep
Cause Doug loves movies
Hey everybody, coming to you from the darkness.
Because I think the lights
should probably get brighter on me right now.
Is this just my imagination?
Or is this how we're going to do it?
Is it kind of like
Doug Lo's movies by Candlelight?
Oh, that's a little brighter.
Oh, good luck
reading my notes tonight.
Holy shit, you guys.
What a special event. Okay, let me start at notes tonight. Holy shit, you guys. What a special event.
Okay, let me start at the top.
Hey, everybody.
My name is Doug, and I love movies.
And I love movies.
All right, that was pretty good.
I can't expect you guys to be right on it,
because this is a very special Doug Loves Movies,
coming to you once again from CineFamily in Los Angeles
on Monday, April 28, 2014.
Wolf of Wall Street Fight Terminator 2
Judgment Day of the Dead Men Walking
Tall the President's Men in Black Fisher King
Ralph at Dog Day Afternoon Delight
Sleeper,
Delight,
Sleep,
Perfect Murder.
Tonight,
yeah.
Tonight,
after Douglas Movies,
we will be doing
a Benson movie interruption
of Three Days to Kill
after a 15-minute
smoke break break of course
and
I saw Three Days to Kill
kind of. I went with my friends
from the band Sleeper Agent
Tony and Alex
and
even talked them into seeing Three Days to Kill
and fell asleep
about 20 minutes into it
and then when I woke up
after it was all over, I was like,
okay, I'll interrupt that. I'm going to go ahead
and do an interruption of that because
I thought
it was ridiculous for 20 minutes and then
checked out.
Since last I spoke and you
listened, I attended
the 60th annual
Ebert Fest in Champaign Urbana, Illinois
yeah I had a
wonderful time
saw some great movies and I
highly recommend Life Itself
which is a documentary by Steve
James about Roger Ebert
and Waja
which is I don't know
some people already are responding to it
it's the first movie made in Saudi Arabia
and also directed by a woman
who had to hide in a van to direct scenes
that they shot through a window in the van in Saudi Arabia
so it's an amazing movie about a girl who wants a bike
and Yeah, so it's an amazing movie about a girl who wants a bike.
And... It's like Pee-wee's Big Adventure,
but she wants one,
doesn't already have one,
and then loses it.
Of course, everything I recommend
is done highly,
but I highly recommend those movies.
Thursday night, I'll be back right here
as part of the Wayne Fetterman
International Film Festival presenting Boogie Nights. Yeah, cinefamily.org for tickets. Chicago,
Monday night. Yes. May 5th, Cinco de Hayao. I'm doing Douglas movies at Zany's in Rosemont,
I'm doing Douglas movies at Zany's in Rosemont
O'Hare adjacent
the prize bag has lots of crazy
stuff in it Cinefamily
donated a
badly damaged
three days to kill
poster it's got a bunch of
dents in it and they say that's how it was
said to them and I believe them because
Cinefamily is about love
and not about lying.
And there's lots of other stuff.
There's a copy of Gateway Doug
and some other stuff
that I'll tell you about when I get my guests out here.
But I'm so excited about these guests.
Let's bring them out right now. Please give a big
warm welcome to Nick Thune,
Rory Scovel, and Griffin Dunn.
Yeah, Woo is right. So excited. First time guest, Griffin Dunn is here, everybody.
Actor, director.
I want to make it sound highfalutin, so director.
Star of two of my favorite all-time films.
Do you want to guess which two movies we just met on the patio?
After Hours and American Werewolf.
Yes.
I'm such a cliche in your life.
That's all right.
Every drunken guy in the bar,
I love After Hours and American Werewolf.
Anything you marry that doesn't begin with an A,
fuck it.
But those are two amazing...
And they're your favorite in alphabetical order.
Yes, they are.
In absolute alphabetical order.
That's Nick Thune, everybody.
I like to call him Nick Thune.
And people correct me all the time on Twitter
that it's Nick Thune and not Nick Thune.
But if you could change it for me,
I'd appreciate it.
I could look into that.
All right, thank you.
And Rory Scovel is here, everybody.
Thank you.
And he brought a bag that says YouTube on it.
That became the prize bag because it's bigger than the bag I brought that says Carnival Cruises on it.
Does the bag play videos?
Both hand-me-down bags.
Yeah.
And so this is just, you got this because you did something on YouTube?
Yeah, no, I did something at YouTube.
You did it at them?
I added at YouTube, and they gave me a bag and a bandana and a hat and a pin,
and I said, you know who needs this?
Someone else who doesn't want it.
Yeah, this is like a headband.
That's a headband if you want to work out
and really promote YouTube.
Hey, you worried about getting picked in basketball?
Put that headband on.
You'll get picked right away.
I bet that guy can dunk.
I'll take YouTube.
There's a hat with the YouTube start arrow.
Press play.
I would think that if someone...
You'd have to be a tough guy to wear this
because otherwise people would just be
tapping you on your fucking head.
That's right.
All the time.
Hey, hey.
Who do you hang out with?
What bars are you going to?
I hang out with some scurrilous types, Rory.
Aggressive types.
Okay, so that's a bunch of YouTube swag
you're getting from Rory. Okay, so that's a bunch of YouTube swag you're getting from
Rory Scovel. And then from
our friend
Nick Thune,
a purple belt.
Tell us more
about it. I was given
this belt when I performed
or participated in the Conan Golf
Classic. It is a
one-of-a-kind belt that's too big for me,
so you guys lucked out.
And on the back of it is an email address
where you will email me,
and I will give you a free download of my new album.
What's your new album called?
It's the follow-up to Thick Noon.
It is the follow-up.
Which is one of my favorite titles.
This one's called Folk Hero.
All right, so not every title can be hilarious.
No, some of them are meant to.
Some of them are just more evocative.
Yeah.
But thank you for bringing this belt.
And you have a motion picture that you are in
that publicists reached out to me.
Could Nick Thune be on your podcast?
And I was like, yeah, my friend Nick, sure.
Then you text me
and I say yes.
So the movie's called Bad Johnson?
It's called Bad Johnson and I play
a penis.
It's on demand and on iTunes
and May 2nd it's in theaters. But basically
a guy who is a womanizer
and his penis is always getting him into trouble.
He can't stop it. It's ruined relationships.
Goes to bed one night
and says, I just wish that I didn't have this amazing
dick. And then he wakes up
and his penis has supernaturally become
me.
This is the weirdest booking
because I did not do this on purpose
putting you and Griffin Dunn on the same panel.
I gotta tell you, first of all, that movie's been
made. Yeah, I'm in it.
He's in it.
I know.
You had to research it.
I would imagine to play that part.
I did a lot of research.
I kind of watched everything that you've ever done.
Well, as you should.
The movie's been done, and it's also been a play.
I don't know.
I just took a role.
That's incredible.
No, it was a dark stain
on my oeuvre, I think.
It seemed like a good idea
to play a guy
whose penis talked to him.
We've got the name
of your autobiography, though.
A dark stain on my oeuvre.
That's pretty sweet.
Yeah, we can stick with that.
Yeah.
And there happens to be
a penis exhibit
in the courtyard.
Weird coincidences.
And Rory Scoville.
And then I'm also here.
It's incredible.
You have a penis?
I have a penis.
There you go. Another coincidence.
I'm in a movie that's coming out where a woman
has her vagina chopped off.
No, you're not.
It's not related to this. you're not. It's not related
to this. She's tortured. It's actually pretty gruesome.
YouTube videos that you post are not
movies. What's that?
Yeah, I shot it for YouTube.
Vines aren't movies.
I did it on YouTube. It's pretty...
It's also available now, like Nick's
new movie. It's, yeah, free.
It's also free to grab.
Also in the bag, a t-shirt
from Kansas City Normal
and a
Spider-Man
mask that like, if you're
going to a costume party and you're the
laziest person, you could just
hold this up to your face. You took off the
best part. That was supposed to be Spider-Man with an
eye patch. Oh, sorry.
Fixed it.
So, all that stuff is in this
YouTube bag that Rory brought
for somebody to win tonight.
But before we get to that, let's
talk about movies for a second.
I brought some swag.
Oh, what'd you bring? I'm sorry.
Well, it's actually being printed up, but
it's a picture
of me at the age of seven meeting the Beatles.
And it's a keeper.
What are you going to do? You're going to sign it for them?
No, I'm like, there was a charity event, and my parents won tickets to it,
and I stood in line for about two hours just moving along,
and the four mop tops are sitting on stools, and John is shaking my hand like he cannot believe he's finally meeting me.
Yeah.
Must have been a huge honor.
He's got this like, what are you doing here on his face?
And it's a treasured item, and I swag it away to you.
Wow. But it's not treasured item and I swag it away to you. Wow.
But it's not here yet.
Yeah, you might not get it.
I just wanted to bring it up.
Oh, okay.
He just wanted to say he's met John Lennon.
I just had to say it.
If I didn't say I met the Beatles soon,
I was going to burst.
Every event you're at,
you're just dying to say,
I met the Beatles!
But that is pretty,
that's, as bragging goes,
that's a pretty,
it's a winner.
Whoever wins,
please frame that picture,
and I hope people ask
all the time, like,
what is this picture
with this boy
meeting the Beatles?
Well,
I wish that was funnier.
And why is it inside
a YouTube bag? Yeah, they never hang it up. I think that, funnier. And why is it inside a YouTube bag?
Yeah, they never hang it up.
And why are you wearing a purple belt?
They just throw that bag in the corner when they get home.
Griffin, what's the movie that you,
what's the project you have coming out that you're excited about?
It's called The Discoveries?
Discoverers.
Discoverers.
you have coming out that you're excited about? It's called The Discoveries? Discoverers.
Discoverers. Yeah, and it's
a really funny
kind of touching
movie about a guy who I play
who's an
academic. I've written a book about
Lewis and Clark, and
that's sort of my specialty, and
I'm going to deliver a
speech halfway across the
country, and I take my teenage children with me.
And it's sort of like a dysfunctional family comedy
and we end up taking a reenactment
Lewis and Clark trip
and we end up wearing furs and carrying muskets and shit.
And it's funny.
It's a sweet movie.
Sounds hilarious.
I didn't punch a joke.
Nick, as comedians,
none of us could have said something.
Ten years ago.
There's not one penis in this movie, by the way.
You wouldn't be interested.
Penis of the Old West.
All right. Penis of the Old West Alright Rory
You don't have a movie to plug do you?
No
And follow my career
I never will
I'm an artist
I don't do film
I do live productions only.
TBS or nothing?
Yep, that's where I draw the line.
Once I'm in the door, I don't take any steps forward.
I stop right away.
Are you excited, though, to interrupt the Kevin Costner classic,
the new classic, Three Days to Kill.
I am.
Tonight, mere moments after this show is over.
Big fan of JFK, and I imagine they're going to be on the same level.
So I'm excited about this film.
You're going to be president?
Why is that funny?
I'm really excited to interrupt this film.
I got a question for Griffin.
One of the best moments in the history of movies I got a question for Griffin.
One of the best moments in the history of movies is in American Werewolf in London
when you pick up that Mickey Mouse doll
and make it wave and say,
Hi, David.
Was that ad-libbed?
In fact, it was.
Could you tell?
It was.
It's so fucking funny
When that happens
He's a zombie
He's like a zombie
He's back from the dead
He's a zombie
And his friend is freaking out
And he picks up a Mickey Mouse doll
And makes it wave
And goes
Hi David
Why would that be hilarious
When a zombie does that?
I don't know
It just
It just sort of works
I did it
I just pulled it out of my butt
And
Landis has taken credit for that line ever since.
That son of a bitch.
And it's just what he does.
I don't know.
All right.
Well, I'll tell you a great story then.
I was at a party recently, and someone was talking to me, a very high profile person.
Who?
I'm not going to say who.
This story isn't to embarrass that person.
But it's to embarrass John Landis.
Because that person talked to me for a while
and then turned to John Landis
and started calling him Leonard
because he thought he was Leonard Maltin.
And he felt bad about it afterwards,
as anybody should, I guess.
I guess I'm burning the John Landis bridge
to be on this show.
Joe Dante, at the same event,
agreed to come on sometime.
Oh, he's great.
Okay, good.
You're good with Joe Dante.
I love Landis, too.
He'll do it.
Oh, you love him.
You just know that that's the kind of ego he has
that he thinks he thought of.
Hi, David.
Yeah, we can trade it back and forth.
I take credit for a lot of his stuff, too.
Oh, really?
I directed Blues Brothers.
Don't fuck up and add a 2000 to that.
I had a window and I took it.
Wait a second.
Did John Landis meet the Beatles?
Well, see?
Who really met the Beatles?
He cock blocks me all the time on that one.
All right, you guys.
That was the movie discussion.
I think it went pretty well.
I'm pretty happy with it.
You know, you get a very,
you know,
astute movie crowd
here at CineFamily
and when they're laughing,
you know you're doing
something right.
So congratulations, Nick.
Thanks.
Better luck next time, Griffin and Rory.
Yeah.
Like I keep a score or something.
This is the part of the show where I say,
points, let the games begin.
Yeah.
I'm hoping audience members,
even though we're at a new location tonight
or a different location, I'm still going to be back
at UCB a week from tomorrow night
but did you guys bring
name tags at all?
So people brought little things
they wrote their names on or just a packet of
Oreos and
they put a post-it on
so what I'd like each of my
guests to do is to go select from the audience
a name tag that you would like
to represent. Or you could ask them to bring it to you
if you just want to point to them.
But have them bring you the name tag
or go get it for whoever
you'd like to play for tonight
to win all the prizes in the YouTube bag.
You, poster person!
Come here!
Now!
Oreo man! Yeah, Griffin's going for the Oreos that's smart play yeah Oreo and driver's license okay
tonight's Doug loves movies is brought to you without commercial interruption
thank you and it's and it's sponsored by Mercedes-Benz Then we have a John Hamm's voice comes in
And says
Your mileage may vary
Alright, oh wow
You're gonna donate your organs?
It says on this? Great
I'm such a fan of that
Are you giving it up for the piano?
Oh, the guy just put his ID On some Oreos? No, I'm such a fan of that. Are you giving it up for the piano?
Oh, the guy just put his ID on some Oreos?
No, I'm telling you.
Yeah.
Okay.
How is this going to play in?
If you win today, that guy is going to get all this stuff in this bag.
Oh, cool.
Including that picture that you promised. Doug, I feel like you're upset that he only put his ID on Oreos,
despite the fact he's an organ
donor.
I can't
follow what you just said, but
I don't think anyone in the crowd followed
what I said.
Who are you playing for, Rory?
I am playing for Erica.
And she made a poster. She
took the cutie and the boxer poster
and changed it to Curly and the Stoner
and put me on there.
And that must be her, right?
That's her.
She's Curly.
She's Curly.
And you smoke a lot of pot,
as some people know.
This movie should really happen, I think.
I mean, I saw Cutie and the Boxer
and I'm already more entertained by this.
It was good. it was good,
but it was just like, you know,
struggling artists just arguing.
You know what I heard about that?
Actually, just a small fact about that documentary
is that the director, or whoever, the filmmaker,
the footage that I thought was the most interesting
was when he was really drunk around that table
and then walking around New York.
They found that two weeks before finishing it.
They didn't have that for the movie,
and then they placed that footage off a picture
they saw a camera in a room.
Wow. Jesus Christ.
That was the best part of the movie.
Oh, we can't talk about real stuff.
No, we can't.
We're trying to entertain people, Nick.
We're not trying to bore them to death.
I have goosebumps from that story.
You know who else has goosebumps?
These Sour Patch Kids that I got.
With a license.
That was a sweet, sweet-ass segue.
And what, uh, whose name is on it?
My name is Kid.
My name is...
Get out!
But come back if you win.
And retrieve your YouTube bag.
Yeah, yeah, of course.
You deserve the prizes if you win
because you, Nick,
chose your box of candy
that you altered in no way whatsoever.
Yeah, there's nothing on here.
But his name is Kid, I guess.
But it is now including the blue Sour Patch Kids.
Oh.
I think he said his nickname is Kid.
Oh, okay.
I'll settle for that.
I don't need to know anything more about him.
But he might win tonight.
And what's the name of the Oreo guy?
I can tell you exactly.
Yeah, it's right on there.
Give me his middle name and give me his address.
Nicholas Allen Simmons.
His eyes are blue.
Date of birth is 90286.
Okay.
And Camden Avenue.
Cool.
Anyway, great.
What kind of home security do you have at Camden?
Camden Avenue.
Sunset in Camden Avenue. Sunset in Camden.
That's from
Singing in the Rain.
Okay, so
let's determine
who's going to go first.
You guys want to do some fucking lines or what?
The Leonard Maltin game.
It's Mark Wahlberg, everybody.
And Mark Wahlberg is going to say a line from a motion picture.
As only Mark Wahlberg can do it.
How are you doing today, buddy?
Doing fucking good.
Okay, good.
I'd appreciate it if you'd watch.
I'd like you to watch the language on my show.
What's that?
I'm sorry.
I'm here for this fucking dick museum.
You know, kids
listen to this podcast. We've got children
listening. Children listen to this podcast.
They'll fucking hear it.
So what's going to happen, gentlemen,
is Mark's going to say a line from
a movie, and the first person who can say
it in their microphone, the name of
that motion picture is going to win
this particular game.
So go ahead
there, Mark. Say a line
from a movie. I'm surrounded by
dead people. It's lonely.
Six cents.
Okay, Rory has guessed six cents.
That is incorrect.
I'm surrounded by dead
people.
It's lonely.
Oh.
Paranorman.
Rory is guessed a second time.
Also incorrect.
Rory, you can sit this out from now on.
Okay.
I'm surrounded by dead people.
It's lonely. I'm lonely. dead people. It's lonely.
I'm lonely.
American Werewolf.
Yes, that is correct.
Griffin Dunn recognized the line
that he says
in American Werewolf in London.
I don't think that's
the right line, though.
No, that's how I would
It's not right.
It's boring.
Mark changes it up.
I say it's boring.
It is boring.
I'm lonely.
We're talking about
the line in the movie,
though, not about you.
No, I'm fucking
the coolest dude
of all time.
This is what Mark
does on set all the time.
If I say boring,
it's not going to be
believable because it's me.
Right, right, right.
You know, in
Paranorman,
they do say lonely.
If we are still determining who gets that point.
You can go now, Mark and Rory.
Thank you, Mark.
Can I go this way?
Which way do I go?
Can I go this way?
That wasn't the line.
Yeah, I'm here for the dick mold.
Have I said that CineFamily,
have I made it specifically clear that they have a penis museum in the patio
for the movie The Final Member,
which is playing currently?
Yes.
Got to give a plug to that
for people who want to see a bunch of dicks
under glass.
I did actually watch that in
preparation for my movie.
You did? You saw the final member?
They were showing it in Chicago while we were filming.
It's great. It's actually a good doc.
About this guy. A guy
donates his penis. That's the thing.
Anyway.
All right.
Thanks, Nick. Donates his penis That's the thing Anyway Alright Thanks Nick People listening should know
That I gave him a little knee pat there
They should know that
They need to know that
That might have been
My first knee pat I've ever had
Just a balled up fist
Patting my knee
I don't think that's ever happened
Yeah I kind of like it, I guess
Let's play the later Mon game
Griffin Dunn gets to go first
And he doesn't have any idea how this game works
So it's perfect
I'll explain it as quickly as I possibly can
It's like
You remember Name That Tune, right?
Yeah, you hear the song and then you name it.
Yeah, yeah, you hear so many,
how many notes you can name it in?
Yeah.
Yeah, so this is instead of notes,
it's actors' names reading from the bottom of the list up
from Leonard Maltin's reviews of various films.
And I'll explain more as we go along.
But you get to start by picking a category.
Like, just think of the category
where you might know the most about it
and choose that.
Joe Fritz on Twitter suggested Old Yeller,
and that's the films of Al Pacino.
The later films of Al Pacino.
So it's movies that he's made since about 2000.
He probably started yelling even earlier than that
with Scent of a Woman, but you know what I mean.
Have you ever worked with Al Pacino?
No, I haven't.
I was asking Nick.
Oh, shit. God, this guy, I don't even know Doug. Oh shit
God this guy
I don't even know Doug
He asked me to come on his podcast
And he's a dick to me
What's that about
Okay so later films of Al Pacino
Or we got two folks celebrating a birthday today
Two hot ladies
Jessica Alba and Penelope Cruz
Are both born today So either the films of Jessica Alba and Penelope Cruz are both born today.
Either the films of Jessica Alba or
Penelope Cruz. Who do you think you know
more about, the recent Al Pacino
or Alba or Cruz?
Al Pacino. You've never
worked with any of them?
Let me think
very quickly. No.
I knew right away. I didn't know I was
stalling.
It did look cool to stall.
You just got to be sure.
I was like, man, he's been in so many movies.
Yeah, go back to Penelope Cruz.
Yeah, she and I, wait a minute.
You got to be sure because you could have been
in a kind of an anthology movie
where you didn't have scenes with them,
but they were in it.
Yeah, so you did a good job.
Point given.
Now I'm going to give you some clues,
and then I'm going to tell you, I'm going to read stuff
from Leonard Maltin's review, and
how many stars he gave it, and what year it came out.
And then I'm going to tell you how many names
he lists at the bottom of the review,
because he lists quite a few names usually.
And then you have to guess, reading from the
bottom of the list up, how many of those names
you would need to get it.
And then we'll go
to Rory, who will
either ask you to name it, or
he will bid lower, and then we go around
to Nick. You'll see how it works.
I'm so glad I'm first.
That's a good spot to be.
It's a really great spot.
Congratulations. Thank you very much.
One and a half stars
from Leonard for this movie from
2003.
He says this movie is about
an underworld functionary.
Wish I could tell you what those two words meant.
And
that
I already know what it is.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
All right, let me tell you how many names.
Yeah, me too.
Let me tell you how many names are listed in this.
He lists eight names.
So now what you can do is you can, since you think you know what it is,
you can bid zero names, which means, you know,
you could just name it without hearing any of these names,
or you can bid negative names. So if you say negative one, you have just name it without hearing any of these names, or you can bid negative
names. So if you say negative one,
you have to name the top-billed person
and the title of the movie, negative two,
the top two-billed people,
in the correct order.
So it gets tricky.
What would you like to do, Gryffindor?
What if I could tell you
the plot,
who he plays, every single thing, but I can't remember the actual title. Then you should plot, who he plays Every single thing
But I can't remember the actual title
Then you should say I can name that movie in eight names
Just get out of harm's way
You seem like you're in trouble
Shit, I could tell you so much about this movie
I bet you can
Ten people saw it and I was the ninth
But see now you're just giving clues to the other two guys.
Well, it's really obscure.
They won't get it.
That's another clue.
Yeah.
Yeah, so just say I can name in eight names.
Because then if I named all the names, I think you'd probably zero in on what it's called.
That's my theory.
Okay.
All right.
Eight names? Eight names. Okay. All right. Eight names?
Eight names.
Okay.
Rory?
Oh, look at him.
Seven names.
Okay.
That's a good bid from some sort of character.
That was sort of.
That was his kind of thing.
Some sort of character?
Yeah.
I don't know what that was supposed to be.
I don't know why you would
Gay it up like that
He was doing
Was that kind of your southern guy?
Oh, are you stalling?
Because you don't know it?
I'd actually know the name
And probably name the first two
Well, good, because I don't
Or do I?
So what's your
So what's your bid?
I'm actually not 100% confident on the name
Okay, so do you want to I'm you want to bid one more or less?
No, I'm going to go to the two actors.
I'm going to go to two.
You need just two names?
Yeah.
All right.
So Griffin, you can say, name it, and I'll give him two names.
And if he fails, then you'll get the point or you can bid less than two names which would be one or zero and you
didn't seem that confident so you mean you're rare move in the community you
need to name it yeah you're saying Nate he'll name it in two names. All right. Good.
Go, Nick.
Your two names are Lenny Venlo.
Venito.
Apologize.
Apologies to Lenny Venito and his family.
And Missy Crider.
Those are your two names.
But what? No way.
What's the name of this movie?
Stigmata.
What?
2003? 2003?
Oh!
No way!
There was a movie where
Al Pacino yelled at people called Stigmata?
No, I was actually thinking of
a movie where he plays the devil.
Yeah. That's not it, though.
That's not it, either.
That was the one with Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron.
You guys are all wrong.
He's in that movie, though.
He plays the devil, right.
Guys, the movie is...
It's not called Stigmata.
It's Spawn.
Okay, thanks, Mark.
It's Spawn. It's notawn. Okay, thanks, Mark. It's Spawn.
I wasn't...
It's not Spawn, but thanks, Mark.
I wasn't that far off.
No, no, no.
You were like totally in the neighborhood.
You were like an Uber car that comes 15 minutes later,
even though it's been going up and down your street.
So, Griffin, I want Griffin to tell us more about this movie because he doesn't know the name, but
he knows more about it.
I can tell you.
First of all, those two people were like day players.
They were in and out of that movie so fast.
Sure.
Ouch.
Because it's kind of a three-hander, that movie.
Well.
Griffin Byrne.
It's about a guy.
It's based on a publicist named Bobby Zerum, who's a really big New York publicist.
Okay.
And it's a real big New York publicist. Okay.
Trust me on this.
It's set in the seedy world of New York publicists.
I don't know.
New York publicists, seedy world.
Sounds like hell to me.
It's two words, the title.
It's like the insider or the outsider.
Stig Mata.
I was going to say, you're close to the two words thing.
Robert Schiff.
Robert Schiff is also in it.
It's two words, but it's called G-Lee.
Yeah, and Al Pacino was in G-Lee.
Who even remembers Al Pacino was in Gigli?
With Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.
No, come on, that's not really it.
That's really it?
And you just let me go on and on about the movie with the publicist?
Well, because I kept thinking, maybe that's right.
I keep waiting for the handicapped guy played from the guy who's always kidnapped
in the Hangover movie.
That was a really good practice round.
Wow, yeah.
We all really confidently didn't know what it was.
Even Mark Wahlberg was like,
it's Spawn, bro.
Spawn.
If you say his name, he'll come out again.
So Griffin gets a point on that round, everybody.
He doesn't even know why.
I still don't know how to play this game.
No, that's the charm of the game.
You don't even have to know how to play to win.
But that means that...
That means we're going to do another fucking line, bro.
Oh, shit.
It's another line from Mark.
Doesn't mean anything,
but let's try one.
Can I play, too?
Well, I can participate in this. Get in on it, ready?
All right, I'll get in on it.
You ready?
Here we go.
It's a big fucking race
to who can do this first.
Okay, here we go.
See, what we got here
is a failure to communicate.
Cool hand, Luke.
It is cool hand, Luke.
Hey, guys.
Seriously, though.
Come check out my dick at this museum.
Why don't you...
There's a fucking line, but I'll let you guys budge.
Why don't you do a remake of Cool Hand Luke?
That seems like a perfect vehicle for you.
I keep trying to, but they're stuck on the fucking...
We keep trying to do it.
We can't make it happen.
It just won't happen for some reason.
I just don't know why it won't happen.
I'm like, change the fucking Luke part and we're good.
Which part?
I don't know where he's
going with this.
What would you call it? I'm in it.
Cool hand mark.
Okay, you're right.
You're right. I should have saw that.
Go ahead and shut that door.
How's Donnie doing?
Oh, no.
Donnie got it.
He's going to marry
Jenny McCarthy.
Yeah.
She found out that he
has autism.
She's trying to make up
to all the people.
Why would you say that,
Rory?
Why, Rory?
I'll take it.
That got a bigger response than my LL Cool J thing.
You did an LL Cool J thing?
You didn't even notice?
No, I did not.
I did it for you.
Ladies love Cool James, and I didn't even notice.
You got to put on a Kangol hat first.
You get to pick category, Rory.
A category.
Would you like...
Oh yeah, that's funny.
It's the birthday today of the late, great
Bruno Kirby. Did you ever work with Bruno Kirby?
I was in an acting class with him
that he taught.
He was just one of the greatest, sweetest, most wonderful guys around. So good in everything he was in an acting class with him that he taught. He was just one of the greatest, sweetest, most wonderful guys around.
So good in everything he was in.
So good.
Oh, my God.
I so thought you were going to say I was asking Nick again.
That was a perfect setup for it.
I'm not going to do that to him twice.
You could have done it three times by now.
No, I was very...
Rory's the callback king.
That's what they call him on the road.
Yeah.
That's right. They're like's what they call him on the road Yeah That's right
They're like what's up CK
So
So the films of Bruno Kirby
Or Turn Over a New Leaf
That's films where Joaquin Phoenix
Was credited as Leaf Phoenix
So he's a wee one
Nobody ever picks it
It's a category that's been banished forever.
Or at Blueberry
Johnson suggested,
you're in this.
And that's movies that people on
this panel are in.
Yeah.
So Rory's really thinking about this
as someone who's probably
not in any movies.
Zero names, I know it.
If he was the pie chart of...
I was just going to do a Mitch Hedberg job.
It would have been perfect.
I should credit him.
Is that last one a real thing?
Oh, yeah.
Movies that you're in?
You think I'd throw out a made-up category?
Yeah, Doug.
No, just kidding, guys.
The category is movies where someone eats a
shit pie.
You say that like
that's an impossible category on this show.
I can only think of one movie
that qualifies, but yeah.
Pink Flamingos, by the way, would be the answer
to that. It's not in a pie.
It's just out of a dog.
Yeah, well, shit is shit. It's dog shit.
They cook up a pie of shit in the help.
What was the second one?
Oh, no, that Joaquin Phoenix one.
I'm not doing that.
Isn't the act of having to cook your own shit
into a pie as degrading as making someone eat it?
You're slaving over your own shit.
Oh, my God.
You're slaving over your own shit.
Oh my god.
Which one did you pick?
What was the first one?
Bruno Kirby. Do you know Bruno Kirby?
No. Yeah, he was so great.
See?
Oh, burn.
Griffin burn. Oh Burn Griffin Burn Bruno Kirby
Lee Phoenix
Or
Someone on this panel
Is in this movie
Yeah I'll do that one
I'll do that third one
Oh that's fun
That's bound to be
Hilarious
Would you like a movie
That someone from this panel
Is in from 1994
Or 2007 2007 Yeah Would you like a movie that someone from this panel is in from 1994 or 2007?
2007.
Yeah, yeah, 2007.
Idiot.
Three stars from Leonard.
He says this movie is about a fast-rising entertainment reporter
and that the unrated version is also
available.
And he lists
five, eight,
twelve names.
How many names do you think you can get in
Rory? Is the person who's in it name listed?
I can't
give you that.
How many names do you think it'll take you Rory
to get that? And then we'll go to Griffin.
Griffin, do you know it?
Don't do that.
It's cheating.
12 names.
He took all the names, Griffin.
So you could say like 11, get most of the names.
Or you can ask him to name it.
There's always a chance
that he and that means that he would come up with all those names i get to list them all for him
yeah i would certainly know if you say 11 oh i see if you say 11 worst case scenario nick is going to
say name it and i'm going to name 11 cast members out of 12 of a movie from 2007 are you good at
that sort of thing are you you talking to him? No.
We're all so nervous.
He's doing that joke again.
No one responds to Doug.
The only option I understood that you gave me,
I think...
Please go with whatever.
This is the only one that stuck.
He's 11.
Yeah, okay. He says 11 names, Nick.
So I'm still in?
What?
Yeah, you're still in.
I thought that I was out from losing.
No, no. It's first person to two points.
Nobody gets knocked out.
I can name it in zero names.
Yeah.
So now we're back around to Rory.
Who's just stuck having to say name it
Because you don't know what it is do you buddy
Well the thing is I don't know it
But like him before when he said two names
I was like oh Nick's gonna get it right
And then he said Stigmata
And now they said zero names
I'm like he might guess Stigmata again
He's a wild card
I really am
I think we've established no one up here is in Stigmata
And the category is
Someone up here is in this
I played God's Soul in Stigmata
You can name it in zero names
It's all voiceover
Yeah so he's pretty confident
Well there's no option
I have to say negative one or name it, right?
Yeah, you could say negative one and then fail to name it
because you clearly don't know it.
And the point will go to Nick.
Okay.
Or you could say name it and he will name it
because he clearly knows it and the point will go to Nick.
So take your time.
I find your tone a little more aggressive with me
than Griffin.
You're not in two of my favorite movies ever.
Name it, Nick.
Plus also name that girl.
Wait, who's that girl?
I'm going to say Knocked Up.
Knocked Up is correct.
Yeah, Nick has one scene in a parking lot where he walks by and he says, I'm going to say knocked up. Knocked up is correct.
Yeah, Nick has one scene in a parking lot where he walks by and he says, hey.
And they actually cut the hey.
Oh, what?
You don't say anything?
You're just standing there?
No, I look like I'm going to say something.
But in the director's cut, Seth Rogen goes,
oh, that was Nick Thune.
And Judd Apatow is like, I don't give a fuck.
Let's talk about other stuff.
Oh, you mean on the commentary?
Yeah.
Not in the movie?
No, they actually...
Like walking away with...
No, they did it in the director's cut.
They just actually have Seth saying that.
All right, we got a very exciting...
We got a very exciting competition going here.
Nick has a point.
Griffin has a point.
Rory could get on the board.
You just never know. I has a point. Griffin has a point. What Rory could get on the board, you just never know.
I choose not to.
He's a fate guy.
But Griffin gets to
pick the next category, and then we
will go to Rory.
Griffin, would you like, as suggested
by Josh,
Josh underscore
on Twitter,
suggested Christopher
Waltzen,
and that's movies where
Christopher Walken dances.
All right?
Or Koji Werner suggested
Barton Stink,
and that's John Turturro movies
that got less than two stars
from Leonard Maltin.
Or Cintrix Phone on Twitter
suggested The Nut Job,
which is movies where a woman dresses up as a man.
The Nut Job.
Which one would you like?
Christopher Walken Dances,
John Turturro's Bombs are less than two stars, or a woman dressed as a man?
Let's do John Turturro.
All right. That's the hardest one.
Yeah, that's why he picked it. He's clever.
He's pretending to not know
what's up.
One and a half stars from Leonard for this movie
that I vehemently disagree.
It's from 1985.
I think
we played it on the show recently
and it's popped up again
that's how much I like it
he says that
this movie is
one of the characters in this movie acts pretty dumb
exclamation point
yeah
and he also says that
it's hard to root for anyone in this movie.
And he lists nine names.
How many names do you think you can get it in?
G to the D?
Am I answering?
Yes.
I can get it in.
Those are your initials.
I can get it.
I got it.
But you added an and.
It's either G and D.
The D.
Is it your middle name, the number two?
Yeah, apparently.
I just found that out.
I'm going to go with, I can get it in ten names.
Is that right?
I'll add one more name.
I'll make somebody up.
I'll pretend that. You said nine people, right? Yeah'll add one more name. I'll make somebody up. I'll pretend that...
You said nine people, right?
Yeah, nine.
I can get it in four names.
Oh, Jesus.
Fuck.
Do you know what it is?
I know now that the spirit of this game
is just jump in and make shit up.
Yes.
I'm going with four.
All right, he says four names Rory Name it
Alright here we go
Your four names are
Dwyer Brown
Robert Downey Senior
Dean Stockwell
That guy was in everything for a while
And Darlene Fugel.
Oh, God, I haven't thought about Darlene Fugel.
But how many movies was she in?
Since that night.
Since the night you saw this movie?
That's where I thought about her.
What do you think that is?
Do you know?
Do I know what the name of the movie is?
Yeah.
Yeah, I do. It's called?
I don't know, man.
Dean Stockwell
and... Darlan Fugel.
Yeah, Darlan Fugel.
And it's been established that John Turturro is in it.
Yeah. And that this particular critic, Leonard Maltin, did not care for it.
You won straight on, no, clearly.
And nobody's rootable.
Yeah, it's completely unrootable.
Yes, yes.
It's called Perchance to Dream.
Oh!
I was so hoping you would say To Live and Die in L.A.
Because that's what it's called.
Bullshit. I love that movie.
That's the movie we're talking about.
Yeah, Leonard was way off
on that one with the one and a half stars.
That's some bullshit.
I rooted for every person in that movie.
I loved every single person.
William Peterson
was kind of a douche in it.
I even loved him.
It's a really good movie.
I loved it.
Nothing feels better than Doug going,
oh, I wish you would have said this so you would have won
and Rory wouldn't have gotten this point.
But I just want to say about To Live and Die in L.A.,
everybody Wang Chung tonight.
Because the whole score was Wang Chung songs.
It's quite evocative.
They named that movie after Tupac lyrics, actually.
So Rory
has now managed to tie it up.
It's a three-way tie, you guys!
We gotta wrap this up, because then
we gotta have a break, and then we have to watch a shitty
movie.
I mean, a great movie that might be shitty.
Kevin's here tonight.
Oh, Kevin.
Did you ever work with Kevin Costner?
Yes.
That one is for Rory.
Yes, I have.
That's for Rory.
Shut up, Griffin.
Who's your favorite of all the movies you've directed or been in?
Do you have a favorite?
Do you have one that you're most...
Which one are you most proud of, Rory?
They're all my children.
Yeah, right? I love them all. They're all my children Yeah right
But I
The very first thing I ever directed
Was a short movie
And that had
Tobey Maguire and Kate Capshaw
And Kiefer Sutherland
A whole bunch of great people in it
And just the experience of that
Being the first thing I ever did
I had a sentimental favorite for that. Oh, okay.
And can people see that somewhere? Can they
dial it up online or something? Yes.
You can see it on
Netflix
and you can see it on YouTube. What's it called again?
It's in that bag, probably.
What's it called? It's called Duke of Groove.
Okay.
I remember that name.
We slowly find out he's in a promotional tour for that movie.
He slowly unravels.
A whistle-stop tour.
He's promoting Discoveries, and you're promoting Bad Johnson.
And Rory is here as well.
I got some dates coming up in Wisconsin.
What? Where are you going to be?
I'm going to be in Wisconsin.
Just wandering the state looking for cheese?
Yep.
Vacation. I go there every summer.
Had to get away.
Yep.
Get away.
Get away from all this Hollywood.
Get away to the cheese.
Get out to where people know stuff.
Who challenged who on that last round?
Rory got that.
I challenged Griffin.
Okay, so Nick gets to go first, and then we go to Rory.
And this is called, this is a tiebreaker, this is asparagus pee.
And that means that I am going to tell you the entire review,
and then the bidding begins.
So it becomes a game of who knows more
about which actors were in this movie
and can name them in the correct order.
Four stars from Leonard Maltin
for this movie that was directed by Orson Welles.
1949 is when it released.
Welles first and best a film
that broke all the rules
and invented some new ones
with a fascinating story of a Hearst-like publisher
and his rise to power.
Can we just straight-forward the title already?
The cinematography, music score,
and Oscar-winning screenplay are all first-rate.
A stunning film in every way,
and Wells was only 25 when he made it.
Incidentally, the reporter with a pipe
is Alan Ladd.
Oh, incidentally,
Leonard, who gives a shit?
No, I guess
Alan Ladd was a big deal.
I wish you said, incidentally, the name is...
Arthur O'Connell is another one of the reporters.
Like, Leonard likes to give you little tidbits.
And then he lists
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11 names.
How many names
do you think you need?
Where are we starting? With Nick?
I think I was first.
No, it's Nick.
That movie spawned.
So if you...
There is no topic in this one.
We just play it. It's the asparagus bee.
So you can start with zero
if you think you know the title of the movie.
Or negative one if you know
the lead actor.
Negative two if you think you can name two people in it.
I'm going to say one.
Negative one.
No, I'm going to say one.
I need to hear one.
You still need to hear one name.
This is the greatest yes and of all time.
Oh, no, negative one.
Negative one.
Negative one, he means to say.
See, he says negative one.
Virtually locking this up, I imagine,
because, Rory, you'd have to name the top two billed people.
I feel like once he said one that was his answer that's I would normally agree with you
but anxious to wrap this up oh you don't want it you don't away five more
seconds for me to do it all right you know what I'll go one oh he's really
saying it one Rory so you could Wait, are you now reversing it
because you don't know it?
No, I think he's reversing it
because he's trying to be a gentleman.
Is that true?
I can do it in 48 names.
You're being a gentleman?
No, so you won't get it in Alaska or Hawaii.
So if I say...
This is the new Nick.
If I say zero names, that means I don't have to say it, right?
No, you do have to say it out loud, the name of this movie.
Unless he could do it in negative one.
He still doesn't know it.
I do know it.
Okay.
I'm now mad that he's being a gentleman to let me win.
I want to be a gentleman and try to let Griffin win.
I've won before.
So just say zero names, because then Griffin can say negative one.
That's what I just asked.
He'll name the movie.
Yeah, do that.
Zero names.
All right.
So Griffin just says negative one, and then Nick will be forced to ask him to name it.
What do you say, Griffin?
What do you say, Griffin?
Negative one.
He says negative one. But if I knew the title,
could I yell it out loud? No, not yet.
Okay. Not yet. Hold it in.
Name that movie. Alright, so you name the movie
and the top-billed performer.
The film is called...
What? The film is called...
Touch of People. And who's the
top-billed actor?
Charlton Heston.
Alright. Alright. The film is called Touch of people. And who's the top-billed actor? Charlton Heston. All right.
The film is called Citizen Kane.
You said 1949.
And the top-billed.
No, you said it came out in 1949.
We were a whole gentleman
The next one
Of course it was that
But I thought
You said it came out in 1949
I said 41 I thought
I said 41
Oh this is rich
That's a big fucking deal
This is rich
Right but I also said
It was his first film
I know
Yeah I got all that
His best film
And it was about a publisher.
Yeah, I know.
A Hearst.
Was Charlton Heston a publisher in that film?
It's War of the Worlds, right?
Is it War of the Worlds?
Rory.
I didn't know those were real clues.
This is the first time
no one wins.
I hope.
No, there's a winner.
Who challenged?
It was Nick.
Yeah, Nick won.
Give me your salary patch, kids.
But it's all arbitrary
as we know
from listening to this show.
Who was Nick playing for?
Just come and...
The kid. Kid. Come on, kid. Come on, kid playing for? Just come and... The kid.
Come on, kid.
Come on, kid. Come grab your bag,
kid.
Rory, does your name tag
have a shithead written on the back of it?
It does.
Oh, wow. He's giving
away some Sour Patches. Is it
on here? Yeah, it's on the back.
Is it legible? Oh, it's
like a post-it.
And what about yours, Griffin?
Do you have some sort of note on the back?
Don't read it out loud.
On the back of this?
Yeah, on the back of the Oreos.
Too much cholesterol.
Did you put a name on there?
Okay, can you come up here and write down a name for me?
Because I'll call anybody a shithead on your behalf.
That's your prize
Come on down, take your time
Feel free to write Charlton Heston
Just write it down
on the piece of paper right there
Drop the pen first
We get to keep those
That's like the most pressure
I always have for writing something
thank you guys so much for being here
let's hear it for all my guests
Rory Scoville, Griffin Dunn
the Discoveries, look for that
Nick Thune in the
in Bad Johnson
and as always
Tim Gustafson
is a shithead
and Tim Gustafson is a shithead.
And Cholesterol
is a shithead.
Now it's time for Doug to watch another
talkie. Eyes of gold, his viewing
prowess makes him cocky.
There's no room in his heart
for you.
Cause Doug loves movies.
