Doug hates candy wrappers screaming baby sticky seeds
With 50 acid popcorn kernels in his teeth
There's still not one that he won't see
Cause Doug loves movies
Hey, hey, hey everybody!
My name is Doug and I love movies!
That's what I thought would happen this is doug loves movies coming to you for the first time we haven't been here before it's our first time in the improv lab or i guess they call it the lab
at the improv in west hollywood california
at the Improv in West Hollywood, California!
We are recording this on Tuesday, October 17th,
and you'll hear it a few days after that,
or almost a week after that,
so I hope things don't change so much in the world of cinema between now and then,
that this episode doesn't make any sense.
Did I say it's Tuesdayuesday october 17th 2023 kingsman the golden circle of friends with benefits a wonderful life as we know it
could happen to you only live twice in a lifetime cop and a half nelson of Rambo, First Blood Part II for the Roadhouse Terminator II,
Judgment Days and Confused Cars,
and Ick and Old Lace in the Hold School of Rock
and Roll High School Ties.
Yeah!
I did it.
We have folks just coming in.
How's it going?
Have you heard the Doug Loves Movies podcast before?
This is your first time. How'd you get talked into coming in here?
Is there somebody yelling at people out on the street?
Also, take as long as possible to get into your seat.
That was tricky. You had to really wedge yourself in there.
What's your name?
Hey, Johnny.
What brought you out here tonight?
Is the other show sold out so you came over here?
Oh, that's nice.
All right.
He seen me do stand-up and he's like, what the hell is this?
Which is like, that is the perfect follow-through.
Like, what the hell is this?
I'll just buy a ticket and get that question answered for me.
So I hope you enjoy yourself tonight, Johnny.
And thank you for, you know, taking a risk on this.
Because it is just a serious talk that I'm going to give.
It's kind of I'm going in a different direction.
No, I've got three terrific guests that are going to come out here in a moment,
but before I do that,
I'm going to do some Doug plugs.
Doug Lowe's Movies is coming to Tacoma,
Washington this weekend at the Tacoma
Comedy Club at 420
with Sean Jordan and Jeff Tate,
Tate, Tate, and to Cap City
Comedy Club on October 25th with
amazing guests. I don't even need to tell you.
It's Austin, Texas.
And I'm doing stand-up there as well
at the Cap City Comedy
Club on October
24th. For
all of my dates and deets, go to
douglasmovies.com
That's douglasmovies.com
Yeah!
Caw-caw! Wallet!
Shh! Ted Danson?
Yeah.
Two people did it.
That was amazing.
That was like a great amount of people for Los Angeles.
Here's the prize box.
I brought this box that I've had for a while
because it's a nice, decorative, scary-ish looking mansion of a box.
And it says Blumhouse on the side
because they sent it to me during Pando
to promote some of their movies.
I think it says on the inside.
So you get this beautiful box,
perfect for this time of year.
And then inside,
you're not going to believe what's in here,
a poster for Disney's Frozen.
Not that lame-ass sequel.
This is the original Frozen. We got the poster. This is really cool. Somebody's going to be
so excited to win this. This is a Firewire USB 2.0 enclosure. Yeah, I'd hang on to it
myself if I had any idea what you're supposed to do with it.
Here's another thing I don't know what to do with,
but it's fun to have, I guess.
I sort of re-condoed some of this stuff
because I'm like, I like it,
but I also don't need to have it.
It's sausage fingers!
From everything ever there are all at once.
They gave me these when I went to the premiere.
They also gave out little stuffed raccoons.
I'm keeping the raccoon.
And then finally, somebody sent me,
have you ever got something in the mail
and you're like, they got your name right
and I think it even said
Douglas movies or something on it.
Somebody sent me a vinyl album
that looks like this
it's
Donnie and Joe Emerson
you know them?
no way
it's good?
did you send me this sir?
is this from you?
but they're good though?
in a kitschy kind of way.
Like they sound like kind of like a 70s teen group or something.
Oh yeah, yeah.
It says 1979 on here.
And it's called Dreamin' Wild.
And I just,
I really didn't understand why this person sent it to me
and I'm not going to buy a phonograph
to listen to it and go,
oh, that's why.
But I don't even know if that would help.
It's got some great song titles.
Good Time, Give Me the Chance, Baby.
A song called Baby.
That's got to be good, right?
Romantic, probably.
All right.
Or are these children just had a kid?
All right, so that's all the stuff that somebody's going to win tonight.
In other words,
just things that you probably might just throw right into the garbage
outside the club,
but I don't know.
I never know the excitement level
of the winner of the prize bag or box,
but are you ready to get our guests out here
to determine who's going to win this thing?
All right.
Please continue that gracious and loving applause
for Amy Miller, Guy Branum, and Steve Hernandez!
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's what we should have done.
There's always something that we forget.
It's stools to put your drinks on.
Oh, I'll just clutch it in my hand.
You know what?
Nikki's on it.
Oh, thanks, Nikki.
Yeah, just one or two stools would be great because they all have drinks.
These stools are great for fat people in general.
Very comfortable.
Not worried at all.
Well, I was like, we need stools with backs
because sometimes my guests need a nice
back support, but these particular
ones aren't really into
supporting your back, I've noticed.
Not mine.
But I think they dragged them over
from the bar, and thank you
all of you for being here.
Are you drinking something, Steve?
No, not right now.
I had a nice Diet Coke
to the dome.
And Jenny over there
tried to refill it,
but I'm trying to get
some sleep tonight.
You guys know
what I'm talking about.
Yeah, don't get crazy, Steve,
with the carbonation
and the soda.
All right,
let's meet everybody
individually
and alphabetically
by first name.
Ooh.
Yeah,
the twists and turns
never stop coming
on Doug Loves Movies.
It's Amy Miller,
everybody!
Thank you so much.
How's it going, Amy?
Pretty good.
Happy anniversary
of the big earthquake.
What?
Today?
Yep.
October 17th.
Of what year?
1989.
89?
Uh-huh.
You were here for that?
I was in it.
Really?
I was shaking around.
Yeah.
Wow.
I was shook.
I didn't even, I haven't kept track of the anniversary for a while now.
I think of it every year.
I used to send a gift every year to the earthquake.
You don't even send me a card anymore.
We just had a pretty good one.
Did you feel that, or were you out of town?
Probably out of town.
Yeah.
The building I'm in had cracks.
It looked like it did some damage, and then they just painted over them.
Oh, yeah.
I'm like, that seems safe.
That seems like the right thing to do.
That paint will hold the building together. But thank you for. Oh, yeah. Like, that seems safe. That seems like the right thing to do. That paint will hold
the building together.
But thank you
for being here, Amy.
I'm delighted to be here.
And you're running off
to do a set
somewhere else tonight.
I have to leave at 8.55.
Okay, so Amy's got
a hard out, everybody.
And the show's supposed
to end around there anyway,
so it works perfectly.
I like a nice
ticking clock.
Cliffhanger.
Makes it feel like a movie. Exactly.
I watched The Blob today
from 1958.
Do you know how they decide to
dispatch The Blob in the
end of that movie? I can't remember.
I've only seen it once. Is it nuclear weapon?
No. No, they do shoot at it a lot and go, I can't remember. I've only seen it once. Is it nuclear weapon? No. No, they
do shoot at it a lot and go, this isn't working.
They blast it into a
bunch of pieces though, right? No, they figure
out that it doesn't like the cold.
The blob is like a cold weather
pussy and
it creeps towards you
but if you spray it with a fire extinguisher, it's like
no, it's like a cat.
The blob has the same personality as a cat.
And so they figured that out,
but then on a small, it's such a big blob
that they can't just shoot it with,
they can't just stand around
with a bunch of fire extinguishers.
So they airlift the blob to the Arctic
and then drop it.
And it's seriously how the movie ends.
And that sequence takes like 30 seconds. Like suddenly it's happening and then it's seriously how the movie ends and it takes that sequence takes like 30
seconds like suddenly it's happening and then there's like the end and a question mark at the
end like maybe this arctic drop is you know maybe our operation arctic drop isn't really going to do
the job but uh i've been watching act up during the flight at all he's fine in the air it's just
cargo it's just being dragged
from below the plane. They didn't give it
first class seats or nothing.
Alright,
so, that's
what I was going to say, is I'm watching
a horror movie, or an alleged
scary movie, every day
for the entire month of October.
Like, one a day, forcing myself
to do it.
And the blob was today's movie.
So thanks for letting me talk about it.
You're welcome.
Because I was really, I was really, you know,
in my feelings about it.
Also joining us tonight,
it's Guy Branum!
Yay!
How are you?
I'm doing well.
You know, Doug,
when we talk about global warming,
so frequently we talk about the loss of our glaciers,
but we don't talk about the potential reanimation of the blob enough.
You know?
Maybe if we were discussing that,
people would take carbon emissions more seriously.
Yeah, I worry that someone listening to this,
you know, that's on the far side of things,
is going to go, like, that's going to be our new argument,
is that we need the glaciers to melt.
Wait, no, because then that will release the blob.
Yes, we need the glaciers.
We need to stop global warming.
Okay, to stop the blob.
So the Maldives don't sink,
and so the blob doesn't come back.
I like it.
It's a whole new approach that we can, you know,
it's the kind of thing that people can get behind now
is absolute fantasy.
But even if he's out of the ice, he's going to be cold in just the air in the Arctic.
Right.
No, it just can't be a good place.
I don't know what happens, though.
They just drop it, and then they say the end.
So, like, I don't know if when it hits the ground in the Arctic, if it just absolutely disappears,
or if it just, you know,
goes, ugh.
It's chilly here.
Yeah, if it just gets chilly,
and it's just like a blob looking for a sweater.
Just a little,
just a light wrap of some kind.
It's cold in the Arctic.
Alright. As a blob in a sweater today, I have regrets.
It was like 90 degrees, but it's October.
I wanted to wear it.
Yeah, it should be cooler out.
Let me ask you this.
Let me ask you this, Guy Branum.
We do mostly trivia about horror films, you know,
or movies that are supposed to be scary during this month on this show,
but you're not a fan of that genre.
No, and I consider it an insult and attack
that you have invited me to multiple Doug Loves movies
during October.
Why would I want to be doing this?
And finding out that you are watching a scary movie every day,
yesterday I watched the Judy Holiday musical
Bells Are Ringing.
And so I'm wondering
if I owe it to the world
to counteract your behaviors
by watching an underrated
50s or 60s musical
every day of the month
just to say,
hey, October's for everybody.
I love it.
Because if you're not into Halloween,
October's getting longer and longer.
Like September 15th, the shit starts coming out.
Oh, that fucking Thanksgiving movie.
I'm like, fuck you for trying to make the scary movie window two months long.
No, we need November for Academy Awards movies that won't do well.
That's why there's so many Christmmasy thieved horror movies it's just because
they're money in the bank no matter when you put them out you know so just might as well make you
know silent night deadly night etc also joining us tonight first time on the show that's right
holy shit it's steve hernandez everybody It's Steve Hernandez, everybody. Great to be here. I've done your podcast with Amy.
Yeah.
And that's not a thing anymore, though, right?
You can still find them.
I pay for the storage because I'm an idiot.
Well, you should like, you know,
I almost said when a celebrity that's been on dies,
but more like whenever somebody does something of note
that has been a guest on your show,
it might be fun to just say, hey,
that person was on the show once. Sure.
I think there's a couple guests that have been cancelled
by now. We could probably just...
And during the
episodes that we did with them, they hinted at it
too.
Every time there's a major political event,
it's always fun to go to the former twitter
and just be like which of our colleagues has been radicalized it's also so funny to me that this guy
who bought twitter and changed the name has to sit and listen to every newscast every you know
every written report anytime somebody brings up X, they say formerly Twitter.
Like every time.
Like how long is that going to go on for?
I'm thinking probably years
before people will drop the formerly Twitter part,
which must drive him crazy.
Let me ask you something, Doug.
This has got to be the largest panel you've ever had.
Per pound.
I mean, there's no way.
If it was just me, then I
would be a... Aside from that one WWE
episode he did.
Whenever you're talking about me and Guy
together on the same... I'm just like,
wow, this is...
Think about it, and I really want you to think about it.
There has been no bigger
set of guests before.
Well, you know, Steph Tolev
was going to be the third guest.
Yeah.
And she canceled today
because she was feeling
a little bloated.
She was like,
I'm too big to come on.
No, she had a,
you know,
she had flight issues.
She got in,
you know,
she got back to L.A.
too late.
So I said,
Amy's one of the first people
I told.
And she was like,
what about my
podcast
co-host, former podcast
Steve Fernandez
and I said, if he can put on
a Dodgers jersey
and get down there. And 100 pounds.
And 100 pounds.
I'm glad guys
here were both wearing shorts on stage. This is
incredible.
I mean, you know,
when you're heating yourself the whole year's summer.
Tell that to the blog.
Like if you get too cold, you can cut yourself open
and sleep inside of yourself.
When you start comedy,
they say you can't wear shorts, but as long
as Fluffy keeps selling out Dodger Stadium, I don't give a fuck comedy they say you can't wear shorts but as long as Fluffy
keeps selling out
Dodger Stadium
I don't give a fuck
what they say
also I just want to say
there have 100%
been times
that I have gotten
on stages
where I was like
uh oh
if you've performed
at Ackbar
like that stage
I'm like
it was not prepared
to handle me
this thing was built
for twinks
but I have to say
I trust the improv
lab stage. Yeah.
Yeah, it seems pretty sturdy.
It's also not that much
higher than everybody else.
So if it gave way, we'd
just think it's another earthquake, probably.
Stage is a stretch.
Don't say earthquake today.
Also, Amy, are you talking
about the San Francisco earthquake
from 89? Yes. Okay.
I wasn't alive in 1906, guy.
I know, but also when you say the big one here, they think of the North.
Northridge is what I was thinking.
Yes.
Not that bullshit.
I'm talking about some real shit, okay?
My own trauma.
Like Candlestick Park was so shook they changed its name.
Yeah.
To what?
People were at a game during that earthquake, right?
Yes.
It was a World Series game.
Yeah, yeah.
The last earthquake we had here in L.A.,
I was doing this podcast over Zoom when it happened.
Yes, it was like the hurricane was happening,
and there was an earthquake at the same time.
And it was very exciting.
Yeah, it was really.
We were doing podcasting under the most intense conditions.
You're so brave.
Yeah.
We really didn't stop because of an earthquake.
We just kept going.
We were just like, well, we'll stop shaking.
And there weren't a lot of aftershocks on that one.
But anyway, listen to my other podcast, Doug Loves Earthquakes.
Doug Loves Shifting
Plates. But
for now...
If you could do the title strung together thing with
earthquakes, I would be very impressed.
Right?
There's only earthquake?
Well, no. Like New Madride
Hope. I don't know if there's ever been
an earthquake in Idaho. I just remember the
New Madride Earthquake. I'll stop this now. Well ever been an earthquake in Idaho. I just remember the New Madrid earthquake.
All right, I'll stop this now.
Well, what I'd like to do before we play our games tonight is ask everybody on the panel to each recommend one movie.
And I've been doing the horror genre,
but also it could be something that's just scary to you
for any reason like maybe there's no
music in the movie or something like that uh you know it's not a musical but amy will start with
you oh yeah i just re-watched wolf of snow hollow jim cummings movie i just love him i know he's
been on this podcast with he has oh yeah, but it's like a fun comedy horror.
It's not too scary for someone like me who can't handle a lot of that shit,
but there's a couple gnarly moments.
I just love all of his movies so much, and him.
He's great.
Yeah, it's funny that in two of the movies,
he's just a cop who's just crazy insecure.
Yeah, he's just really wound up.
It's pretty funny.
Yeah, he's really really wound up. It's pretty funny. He's really good at that role.
And our friend Ricky Lindholm is in that one.
Yeah, she's so good in it.
I adore her as well.
All right.
It's called Wolf.
I always fuck up the title.
Of Snow Hollow.
Of Snow Hollow.
Okay.
Pretty sure.
There's hollow in it.
Yeah.
And it's not Hollow Man.
Or. Sleepy. Sleepy. there's hollow in it yeah and it's not hollow man or sleepy sleepy hollows scary in general let's just say it wouldn't want to live in one no no you don't
why the fuck why are people nothing good ever in this day and age don't mess around with hollows. Unless it's all Hallow's Eve.
Yeah, then it'd be a good place to stay.
All right, moving on to Guy.
I'm very curious to see what you come up with.
Well, I'm worried now that I'm going to steal from Steve because we saw the same movie this week.
I saw Dicks the Musical, which is very, very funny.
And these two guys from New York, their names are Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp.
And they had a musical at UCB.
And then H24 turned it into a real show.
And you're like, that's not a horror thing.
But there are real elements of creature horror in there that are very fun.
And it's also an old-fashioned musical.
And it was a good time.
Am I right or wrong?
It was a great time.
Does any of it scare you?
You scared of dicks?
I'm not scared.
There are not a lot of dicks.
It's dicks as in unpleasant people.
Yes.
Yeah, it's not penises.
And they don't scare me,
though I have to say that
I have encountered dicks of a vainness level
that I was just like worried. And that I have encountered dicks of a vainness level that I was just like, worried?
And then I have
encountered dicks of a size
where I was just like, uh-oh.
You know?
Yes, I do.
Where am I going to put this?
For how long?
Going into the hollow.
Do you need to pay rent? And for how long? Going into the hollow.
Do you have to pay rent?
Well, also, just, does he have the blood to keep that thing afloat and also stay alive?
Because the last thing I need is for him to, you know, like, faint from low blood pressure because, mid-fuck, you know?
No, that's got gotta be a serious concern.
Now you're on
the hook for murder.
There's some people
that all the blood
shouldn't be rushing
just in one spot.
There's people out there
that that's gonna be
a bad thing.
Hey, well,
that's happening to me
right now
and I'm living
just fine.
Yeah.
It's a gusher.
Yeah. yeah it's a gusher yeah uh all right steve oh anyway yeah let me just give my uh second approval of dicks the musical
and uh and and it does does, it sounds like,
why would that have a horror element?
But it really does.
And it's really, it's cute and disturbing at the same time.
It's really, but it's a very fun movie.
Nathan Lane and Megan Mullally are there.
If you're worried about if it sounds too gay.
The heterosexual
bona fides of Nathan Lane
and Megan Mullally.
It's true.
They do swim in those waters a lot
in their respective
careers. But Dix the Musical
is an A24
production, and so it kind of fits in
with how weird their movies are but also um they're not being struck against by sag after
right now because they a24 happily pays uh the actors what they uh deserve or not even what they
deserve just better than uh you know what's currently on the table.
So I can say on this podcast, go see Dicks in theaters on October 20th.
It's just a New York and L.A. thing right now. Oh.
Yeah.
It's going to open wide.
Just needs a little time.
Just needs a few more days to get engorged.
Guy's taking a long swig of his wine right now.
This should really be Douglas Movies and Wine Club.
It's really a lot of wine drinkers tonight.
All right, Steve, can you recommend a scary movie?
One of my favorite scary movies that I try to show people,
I don't know if anyone's seen
it here. Hopefully you have, but it's
Communion with
Christopher Walken. Has anyone
seen this movie? I have.
It's an alien
home invasion movie.
And it's truly frightening. When we
were little, we used to rent it at the library
all the time. And he doesn't realize
it's a space, I mean, it's a bizarre
movie. He's really tripped out too.
It's based on a true story.
I'm making quotation marks.
But the
parts where he's actually getting
abducted by the aliens are truly
bizarre and freaky.
I just showed it to my pregnant wife. She loved it.
What are you trying to
induce or something?
She's going through an alien invasion you've seen it doug uh yes but i you know i just remember it you know freaky is a good word i just
remember being like kind of weird christopher walken energy uh and i do remember that that
note that it was supposedly a true thing
which is always fun when there's a movie like that
and they're trying to tell you it's real.
There's this crazy part where he's like,
he's like, I know you're there, I know you're there
and he's like freaking out
and then you see this alien head
just slowly peek around the corner
and it looks very fake
but it looks like those real alien heads
you see in the sketches
and so especially being little, around the corner. And it looks very fake, but it looks like those real alien heads you see in the sketches.
And so,
especially being little,
I was like,
I hope this happens to me.
That'd be pretty cool.
He was like,
I know you're there.
Stop already.
Come out.
Hello. Leave me alone. I don't need this. Stop already. Come out. Alone.
Leave me alone.
I don't need this.
Well, all right.
Dick's Communion and Wolf of Snow Hollow.
Very unconventional, but it works.
It works for me.
Check out those and other movies wherever you get your movies.
We're going to go to our first commercial break.
We're going to determine during the break
who my guests are playing for
and we'll be right back. All right.
That's a shame that happened during the commercial break.
That was really, that was good stuff.
We're back!
Yay!
Definitely come back to these live shows
and anybody listening that's in the L.A. area,
or anywhere that I travel to with the show,
because when you see it live,
the commercial break was so funny.
All of my guests were so funny,
and nobody got to hear it but us.
Are you ready to play some games?
Let's do it. This first game is one i just introduced recently because of the you know the special month we're in right now october this game
is called It's called Olivia Rodrigo to Hell.
Okay, you got him back a little bit.
Olivia Rodrigo to Hell.
Here's how the game works.
I'm going to start with Amy.
I'm going to say a title.
You tell me if it's the title of an Olivia Rodrigo song,
a horror movie, or both.
Okay.
If you miss it,
Steve gets the chance
to pick up a point
with the two remaining options.
If he misses,
Guy would get the gimme point
because he would know
obviously what the answer is.
Every time somebody gets right,
the next person to go first
is the next person in line.
First to two points wins.
Are you ready, Amy?
I'm ready, Doug.
Okay, good, because we've got to get you out of here on time.
We don't have time to discuss this.
Rodrigo, horror or both?
Brutal.
Both.
Both is correct.
Amy Miller is on the board.
Nice work.
Thank you.
Did you really know that, or is that a guess?
Why do I have to tell you?
Did you...
I apologize for prying.
I'm such a nosy pants.
Gotta know everything all the time.
Why did you do that?
No, I just thought maybe you just had heard that song or something.
It was a guess, but it all made sense.
Yeah, it did.
You did a great job.
Thanks.
And now we go to guys
up next
I know it doesn't seem like he should be but
trust me
and
Rodrigo
movie or both
gross
bless you
I'm going to say
horror movie.
Somebody at the bar knows
that that's not correct. That is incorrect.
Now we go to Steve.
Rodrigo.
Amy. it's both
Amy Miller wins the game
yeah Johnny
you know what I don't like about this
I think they're almost all movies right
what's that
almost every movie has a name right
almost every movie
it's hard to market them without them are you saying What's that? Almost every movie has a name, right? Almost every movie.
It's hard to market them without them.
Are you saying every single word there's a movie?
There's a movie about it. A movie has a lot of songs.
Yeah, and it's funny.
There are still expressions out there
that haven't been made into a movie yet.
Like, you know, hey, watch your head.
That hasn't been made into a movie yet. Like, you know, hey, watch your head. That hasn't been made into a movie yet.
And also,
there are some phrases where it isn't a
horror movie. Like, we haven't seen a
grumpier old men horror movie yet.
But eventually. Oh, that is a great idea
though. But there is this Olivia
Rodrigo song. Yes. Grumpier
old men. It's great.
It's about 25
year old men.
Olivia Rodrigo's old men. It's great. It's about 25 year old men. Olivia Rodriguez Young.
She's really young.
That's just a fun...
I realize that her titles do tend
to be like movie titles, but that's another
example. One of her biggest hits is called
Driver's License, and I don't think that's a movie
yet, but there is License to Drive
with the Corys, which would be a great horror movie recommendation. I can't think that's a movie yet but there is license to drive with Cory's
which would be a great horror movie recommendation
I can't believe
what was going on behind the scenes
was a horror movie
it's always too soon
when it comes to
Cory Haim it'll never
there'll never be enough time gone by
but congratulations Amy you know what you win you know what you won right? to Corey Haim. There'll never be enough time gone by. But congratulations, Amy.
You know what you win.
You know what you won, right?
I go first in the next game.
That is right.
She gets to go first in our next game.
That's going to straighten everything out
because then we'll go to Steve
and then to Guy.
And Guy, I think you're going to like this game.
I think everybody has a chance.
It's a game that I call the little search engine that could.
I type a word into the search engine on IMDB, the Internet Movie Database.
And then I look at the results and i wrote down the top 10 movies
is there a conversation happening in this room i thought so uh and then
i'm sorry i'm too high to not get distracted by that
there's so many places to have a conversation I'm too high to not get distracted by that.
There's so many places to have a conversation.
I wrote down the top ten times,
and this is according to the IMDB algorithm.
So Amy's going to go first.
She's going to guess a movie that has this word in the title.
If it's the number one movie, she gets ten points. If it's the 10th movie on the list she gets one point and then all the various points in between
we're going to go around and each of you are going to get three guesses so you're each going to have
three attempts here to try to get a title that is in this top 10. Amy. The word.
And of course by all means order drinks.
I'm not trying to tell you don't talk to order drinks.
If that's what was happening.
The word Amy.
Is Halloween.
Okay.
So your job.
Wait so we get three guesses each?
Yeah but one at a time.'ll guess and steve will guess and
guy and we'll go back through so it might help people to figure out what what else might be on
the list okay well i know what you're thinking johnny and don't give me any of your bullshit
um but i'm just gonna say halloween because you would think that, but it's probably not the number one one.
And it's really annoying, but I'm saying it.
Okay.
Good answer.
Thanks.
Correct answer.
But now you have to pick.
Yeah.
Are you talking about Halloween from 2018, 2007, or 1978?
Exactly.
Which one?
Good point.
No, I was in my mind and my heart talking about the original.
The very first original John Carpenter's Halloween
filmed mere blocks from here.
And that is the number one movie on the list.
Amy is on the board with 10 whopping points.
But now we go to Steve.
You got to start building from here, Steve.
What do you think?
Okay, so...
It's Halloween.
And what were the years on those?
Hey, it's not up to me to say.
It's your decision.
All right, it's...
No, I'll tell you.
Yeah.
2018 or 2007?
2018.
You're going with 18?
Yeah.
Nine points. It's going with 18. Yeah. Nine points.
It's number two.
So stupid.
It's really dumb.
I tried to tell you anybody can win this game.
If you know how to say the word Halloween,
points could be yours,
but now we go to Guy Branum
Halloween H20
people are stunned
literal gas
by this wild
shocking
yeah
and I'm sorry to say
it did not make the list
it's gotta be the other one you still have a chance the list.
It's gotta be the other one.
You still have a chance.
What's gotta be
the other one?
Is it my turn?
It could have not
made the list,
the other one.
Yeah, sure.
I mean, you know,
three Halloweens.
How many Halloweens
do we need
that are just called Halloween?
Is it my turn?
Yes.
Halloween 2007.
That is correct.
That is number
three.
So you picked up
an additional
eight points there, Amy.
But this lead is not insurmountable.
It's just very close to insurmountable.
But Steve's got nine already, so he could really do some business here.
So, so far we have Halloween three times and Halloween H2O.
Have you thought of another movie that has the word Halloween in it?
Who is it, my turn or your guy?
My turn?
Halloween 2.
Okay, is that from
2009 or 1981?
1981.
Alright, that's number
five on the list.
Wait a second, wait a second.
Wait a second, does he have full title?
Yeah.
It's just Halloween 2, twice.
Okay. Isn't that ridiculous?
Yeah.
I thought Halloween 2 was Season of the Witch.
One was I, I, and the other one is a 2,
but it's still out loud, Halloween 2. Yeah, and Season of the witch one was I I and the other one is a 2 but it's still out loud Halloween 2
yeah season of the witch
was 3
so
so you got 6 more points
Steve you got a shot here
but then there's Guy
I would like Halloween 3
season of the witch
it's like I couldn't be more proud of you
that you know the titles of these movies
while not being a fan.
But that one did not make the list.
Why are you fucking with the algorithm
just for comedy's sake, Doug?
This is cruel.
Oh, man.
All right.
I mean, I'll be impressed if you go three rounds of saying actual Halloween movies.
And not saying, that should be the game.
Name a Halloween movie that's not on the top ten.
Because you're great at that.
You're really destroying that particular
game.
But we all know that it's the last
game that really matters tonight.
And we
still gotta finish this one. Amy?
Halloween 2.
From 2009.
That is number eight on the list!
Three more points for Amy.
I've never won this
easily, Donnie.
A total of 21 for Amy.
Steve's got 15,
so he needs six or better.
So Steve, you have to tell me the movie with the word Halloween in the title
that finished fourth on this list to catch up to Amy.
What do you think?
God damn is right.
All right.
is right.
Any movie that we haven't said already that has
Halloween in the title.
What was that?
I'm sorry.
You can't ask questions
about what the answer might be.
I want to look to my wife
right now.
You can't.
We could do an edition of the show that way.
One time Tig Notaro had her girlfriend give her the answers.
The word Halloween, nobody answer, but...
Everyone just sit there and look at him while he asks this question.
Can you guys think of another movie with the name Halloween? I bet they can.
Okay, nobody's even nodding
their head or anything like that. Well, because they know better.
Okay. Because they know you're
going to have a follow-up question.
Yes, I do. Well, what is it?
Nothing?
I really, yeah.
For movies?
Yeah, movies. nothing i got i really uh yeah for movies yeah movies did that adam sandler one that came out last year did that have halloween in the title i bet it did
but it doesn't feel like you're gonna come up with it
you might have helped your uh your competitor sitting next to you.
I don't know.
I have nothing.
Well, you made a valiant effort because you thought about it.
Yes, yeah, I tried really hard.
That's the most you can do.
Yeah.
Guy, do you want to throw salt in his wound and tell him what that movie's called?
Oh, no.
I don't know what the name of the movie is.
Was there something called Halloween Town?
There should be.
Maybe it's like
one of those movies they show on...
I think it's like a Disney Channel movie.
One of those 31 Days of Halloween deals
or something. Yeah.
That's not on the list.
Congratulations, Amy Miller!
You won that game!
I thought I got one more guess.
You've had three guesses.
How many do you want out of three?
Is it Hobie's Halloween?
No.
It's Hubie's Halloween.
Hubie's Halloween.
That's really on there?
Wait, who is Hubie?
That's what you were talking about, right?
That's what Steve was talking about.
Let me go through the list for you and tell you what you missed out on.
Number 10 on the list is Halloween 4.
Yeah.
Yes.
Steve.
But that is a tricky one because you do have to have the full correct title,
and that one is called The Return of Michael Myers.
Yeah.
And then number 9 was Halloween Resurrection.
And then number 7 is this more recent thing called Halloween Resurrection. And then number seven
is this more recent thing
called Halloween Kills.
Mmm, indeed.
And number six
is the Adam Sandler
Halloween classic
Yubi Halloween.
God.
Yeah, you were all over it.
You had it.
I think it even takes place in Halloween Town.
You were both right.
I just can't believe Halloween 3 wasn't on the list.
It doesn't make any sense.
It's too bad there isn't a movie called A Nightmare After Halloween and Before Christmas.
But number four, the one that could have got you there if you'd have thought of it
is another one that just happened.
The recent
Jamie Lee Curtis trilogy, Halloween
Ends.
Halloween Ends was
fourth. It would have been worth seven points.
But congratulations again
to Amy. We've got one more
game to play.
And we're going to do it after this break.
We'll be right back.
We're back.
Yay!
All right, so Amy took down that game as well,
so she gets to go first in our big finishing game and then we'll
swap the order around again
Steve so it'll go Amy, Guy
and then you
and this is a game called
Super Last
Person Standing Scream
Queen Edition
Whoa yes
So Steve this is a game that Amy and Guy have played before, where,
and I play along in this game, I play too, we take turns naming movies by a particular actor or
actress. And if you can't think of one, you're out. But in the supersized version, we get three
names. So you have three
different people to draw from to come up with titles and you think even though they all have
really big film careers it's crazy how the brain just freezes up after a while when you've said a
bunch of the titles so it's really tricky but you do have one lifeline which is the person who's also going to come up with a name.
Each of your people that you're
playing for are going to suggest
a name tonight for us to use in this
game. And the only
qualification this time,
lately I've been saying it has to be an actress
because I've been trying to elevate
the
actresses and
how they're often given shitty roles that we
don't remember uh but in this case i'd like it to be so we'll discuss it a little bit each time
i'd like to be somebody that is known for being in horror movies like is this some a scream scream
queen or a squeam creen and and'm taking Jamie Lee Curtis off the table
because she's undisputed
and also she's in half of the movies we just talked about.
So let's go to Lolis first.
Could you suggest an actress for us to...
And even if they've just been in one horror movie,
that's enough, really.
But do you know a good scream queen?
He's getting a little bit of assistance.
Yeah, that's cool.
What did he say?
He could just say it.
Barbara Steele.
Barbara Steele?
Who is that, even?
You don't know?
That's not good if you don't know.
Who's Barbara Steele? I don't know. Who's Barbara Steele?
I don't know.
What was Barbara Steele in, dude?
He won't speak directly to you.
This is her moment.
He's not going to steal it from her.
I'm a bartender, and this is how Cholos order beer, too.
Through their women.
It's true.
I go, what would you guys have?
And a Cholo whispers to the woman,
and the woman goes, two Bud Lights.
You can't ever look a cholo in the eye.
Piper Laurie.
Piper Laurie just passed away.
I just got an advantage somehow.
We just lost Piper Laurie,
but she's a tough one.
That's a tricky one, so let's see what else we got.
Johnny What the Hell.
Name a scream queen, please.
Any scream queen?
Anyone at all except for Jamie Lee.
Anyone that's really easy and has been in a lot of movies,
but maybe one or two were horror.
I guess Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Yeah, I love it. Jennifer Love Hewitt. Fuck yeah.
I love it.
Jennifer Love Hewitt's
a good one.
Good one,
dude.
Okay,
J
L
H
That was easy.
Okay,
Steve?
Fabiola. Where's your, oh, Fabiola, that's right.'s right what do you think fabiola can you think of a good scream queen nev campbell now we are talking i mean yeah so much of the party of five in play
at this point in time yeah you're so right we We're having a party of two. Party of two.
Plus one.
The Lisa Chabert of her day, I would say.
I mean, you could have gone Drew Barrymore and made it easier on all of us, but
fine. Right, but that's the funny thing is
Drew Barrymore, while being known for
dying at the beginning of one
movie, the only other horror movie
she's in are the two that she did when she was a child,
Cat's Eye and Firestarter.
Unless you've seen E.T.,
which is horrific.
He's fucking scary, you're right.
That could be such a different movie.
Like if E.T. just went around
biting kids' heads off or something.
But we can say regular movies, right?
Yeah, it doesn't...
No, the answers don't have to be horror movies.
It's the entire career of a scream queen who, thankfully, these have not just made horror movies so that everybody on stage stands a chance.
So we've got Jennifer Love Hewitt, Neve Campbell, Piper Laurie.
We're going to take turns saying movies that they were in.
Amy's first
then me
then Guy then Steve
and
if you can't think of one you can go
to the person who put you
in this position of having to think
of Piper Laurie or
Neve Campbell or
Jennifer Love Hewitt movies
your lifeline is the person you're playing for.
So be ready with a Piper Laurie title.
And as far as Neve and Jennifer go, I think we're going to cover a lot of them.
We'll see.
All right, start us off, Amy.
Okay, I know what you did last summer.
That's an interesting thing to say, but I i need a movie title tell them what you did
all right i watched i know what you did last summer too uh no that is the correct answer
good job and that is yes and i just had this discussion recently that jennifer love hewitt
was in the second one so So I'll take that one.
I know you did last summer too.
That's not what it's called.
Hang on.
That's not what it's called.
Hang on.
I still know what you did last summer.
Is that it?
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Whoa.
Yeah, close one.
Epic moment for me.
I almost lost already.
Guy?
Oh, okay.
I forgot that you play.
Oh. Wild Things. Guy? Oh, yeah. I forgot that you play. Oh.
Wild Things.
Neve Campbell, yeah.
Kind of a horror movie.
Not for me.
It's got like...
Doesn't it have like crocodiles in it or something?
Talking about Kevin Bacon's dick.
What is that thing?
Six degrees long?
Steve?
Any movie that we haven't mentioned so far
with Piper Laurie,
Neve Campbell,
or Jennifer Love Hewitt?
Can't Hardly Wait.
Yeah, nice one.
Damn it.
Amy?
Scream. Okay. Right? Yeah. uh amy scream okay right yeah my turn scream two guy scream three steve
i forget when they start renaming them
um the company that's a nev campbell movie oh okay I forget when they started renaming them. The Company.
That's a Neve Campbell movie.
Oh, okay.
Topher Grace is her boyfriend and her dad's boss.
What was The Company?
That's Scarlett Johansson in Good Company.
What was The Company?
Oh, no, the ballerina one.
Yeah, A Company of Ballerinas.
Go to The Ballerina Company for all your ballerina one. Yeah. Yeah. A company of ballerinas. Go to the ballerina company for all your ballerina needs.
Amy?
Scream 4?
My turn.
Scream 5.
Come on.
They don't have fuller titles.
No, they just put a fucking number on there.
Scream, the recent reboot of the franchise.
That's correct, yes.
Back to you, Steve.
Jennifer Love Hewitt,
Neve Campbell,
or the probably not going to be touched Piper Laurie.
Rest in peace, Piper Laurie.
I know, I'm just thinking of Pierpo Piper.
Piper Peribo? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We call of Pierpo Piper Piper Perabo He called her Pierpo Piper
Pierpo Piper
I was thinking of Pivo Bryson
Pierpo Piper
Pierpo Piper is not
Who we're talking about
Anything?
You want to go to your lifeline?
Yes
What do you got?
You're the one who said Piper.
Do you need the time to think about it?
It was your idea.
You know one movie she's in.
That's how you know she's a scream queen.
It's hard.
Carrie.
She was in Carrie with Sissy Spacek's mother.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah.
I think she was even Oscar nominated for that.
She's really good.
She talks about the dirty pillows or
whatever yeah yeah yeah no she's very dirty pillows she's a very strict mother
she's a real mother okay so steve is saved but steve you know you might think of something when
it comes back around to you but that's the last time you can use your lifeline now we go to amy
That's the last time you can use your lifeline.
Now we go to Amy.
Johnny.
Oh, Johnny.
Are these horror movies or any movie?
Any movie. Any movie that any of those actresses is in
that we haven't already mentioned.
Was Piper Laurie the woman in The Hustler?
She was the woman in The Hustler.
Thank you for stealing that from me, Johnny.
Oh, shit.
Yay!
Oh, Johnny just got himself on Guy's shit list.
Holy crap.
He just walked in off the street and he knew that, huh?
I mean, Piper Laurie, I just was reading, like, her, you know,
a little bit about her because of her passing,
and, like, it really is, like, all about,
Carrie really was her moment.
So I can't think of any other Piper Lorreys.
Whose turn is it? Me? It's me?
So I'm going to turn my attention
to Jennifer Love Hewitt
and say perhaps
an underrated comedy? I don't know.
Maybe people like it.
Heartbreakers.
Oh, so good. That was
a very underrated comedy. Yeah, Gene Hagman,
Sigourney Weaver, and a
bunch of other people. Yeah.
That's a good lineup.
Alright. Guy?
Sweet Bird of Youth.
It's a Tennessee Williams adaptation
from 1963.
Paul Newman is a sexy
actor who's fucking Geraldine Page
who's a washed up actress.
So he takes her back to Florida
so he can hook up with his ex-girlfriend
played by Piper Laurie
but her dad who's the boss of the town
played by Ed Begley Sr.
gets mad and has him castrated.
That's really what happens?
It's a Tennessee Williams play.
You can just have somebody castrated?
When you're the boss of a Florida town.
That's a good point.
They got interesting rules down there.
Or the governor of a Florida state.
Oh, man.
Sad.
Yes.
Okay.
I have to say it. steve have you thought of anything
cleveland my heart robert redford is a shoe salesman i don't have anything
i was so in i feel like if i would have kept going no one would have questioned it
i should have kept going i'm trying to have questioned it. I should have kept going.
I'm trying to think of even one role
Robert Redford played
that was like kind of an ordinary person,
like a shoe salesman.
It was hilarious.
All right, but you had a great showing tonight, Steve.
I wouldn't say that.
Please.
I don't feel like anyone really here would
say that.
Thank you. Yeah, see, people came for
the shorts.
And
a previous guest on this show just randomly
texted me, have you seen Chopping Mall with
Barbara Crampton?
I love that movie. Yeah?
You like anything that takes place in a mall.
That's true.
Whoa.
You know me better than I know myself.
I like anything that involves ice skates.
Hockey or figure skating.
Yeah, as long as they're skating around.
I mean, so you must love the cutting edge.
Yes.
Who doesn't?
A love skate story.
Are you kidding me?
Topic.
All right. Can I tell a very briefly, a very skate story? Are you kidding me? Topic. All right.
Can I tell a very briefly, a very horrible story?
Oh.
A beloved comedian who was our colleague and whom we all enjoy.
I was once working with him.
And we were standing around.
We were having a conversation, a hard-hitting conversation about reproductive freedom.
And somebody asked him if any of his girlfriends
oh i can't tell this story oh shit guy are you serious um how could it connect you to
you can't connect it just from this no you can it it's you could say right after the show if you
want to just tell everybody i will tell everybody immediately after the show i'm so sorry i thought
it was a story I could safely tell
on a podcast, but then I realized it was not a story.
And if you're listening to the podcast,
I'll get the story and then DM me and I'll
tell you what Guy
told me. I think the
only thing it could be specifically is
if it has to do with Kumail somehow.
Sorry, Kumail.
What? I wasn't paying enough attention to it
I didn't have anybody in my
Did the person's wife get a big sip?
That's what I mean
That's what I mean
Has your wife ever
Alright
Whose turn is it supposed to be?
Was it on you guy?
No it's on Amy.
Oh, so you liked it, Guy, was telling that story,
because you need time to think.
Yeah, and I still, I'm just out,
but I feel really strong about my points.
You did great tonight.
Are you kidding me?
I feel proud.
Yeah, thank you.
That applause is real.
Nothing.
That was a really hard three actresses, though.
Yeah, it's tough, yeah.
No, for sure.
I can only think of about 40 more titles.
Yeah, but you're like, you know, you have an issue.
Yeah, I do have a problem.
All right.
No, it is getting tough, you know.
But I got some weird ones for you.
Jennifer Love Hewitt
and Jackie Chan
in The Tuxedo.
Oh!
Well, we all remember As Good As It Gets
and we all remember how Helen Hunt
was a waitress in As Good As It Gets with a son
who had some sort of medical issue that was taken
care of by her mother, played
by Piper Laurie.
Hey! He's pulling some sort of medical issue that was taken care of by her mother played by piper laurie hey
he's pulling out all the piper laurie stops over there holy crap wow nev campbell she's been in
some rom-coms that i'm having a hard time remembering like i'm pict, like, I'm picturing, like, a three-way kind of situation.
Not wild things, you know what I mean?
Like a romantic triangle, yeah.
A devil three-way, Doug.
Oh, my favorite kind.
I really am.
I think I am.
I think I am.
Was there a three-way in Devil's Advocate with Al Pacino?
Wah!
Okay, Al Pacino impressions are not going to help me right now.
You're my son and my daughter.
I saw footage of Al Pacino must have been locked out of his house or something,
but it's like from one of those Hollywood tour buses
where they're like, hey, everybody, look, it's Al Pacino.
Hey, Al.
And he's just walking and waving.
They kept going, too, but they didn't belabor it.
They left Al alone after a brief hello, but it was still just weird
because the driver was filming himself giving the tour and saying hi to Al.
Maybe they just arrange that every day.
Like they know,
like he just,
like remember Sally Field in Soap Dish,
how they take her to the mall
when she's feeling sad?
The mall!
You probably love Soap Dish.
I love Soap Dish.
Who doesn't love Soap Dish?
Oh, everybody loves Soap Dish.
How are we doing on time here?
All right, we got a few more minutes left.
Let me think of a...
That is wild that I can't...
I'm going to say one and hope that Nev Campbell's in it
and everybody will confirm that she is.
Three to Tango.
Three to Tango it is.
Yay!
I did it!
Written by Aileen Brosh McKenna,
who wrote The Devil Wears Prada
directed by
Andy Fleming who directed The Craft
and no one has said the fact
yeah go ahead and say it you jerk
the fucking craft
holy shit guy
he should get extra points
he really should
alright let me see if I can pull out
one more.
There's got to be another JLH movie that we've just skipped over,
but maybe not.
No, there's got to be.
But I can't think of it right now.
This was a tough threesome.
Do you have any more, Guy?
I was going to go to Fabiola,
but also I can't remember whether it was,
I think it was Jennifer Love Hewitt,
but it may have been Lacey Chabert
who was in the Lost in Space movie.
Yeah, I think you're right about it being Chabert.
Okay, yeah.
Do you have anything?
Do you have anything, Fabiola?
The Craft
was a good one, because it's
horror and Neve Campbell.
And
Piper Laurie was a fan of that movie.
I read that in her
obituary.
Tell them! With Piper Laurie,
with Piper Laurie, I'm just surging through my
mind trying to remember movies that had
women with two sonorous voices.
Like, her just,
her voice was like slightly too musical
at all times and it was unsettling.
Okay.
I'm sure the audience might, well,
I don't know, maybe they'll have some
more, but I think I'm tapped.
Guy Branum is our winner tonight!
Yeah!
See, you went into this with such low expectations
because of the whole horror thing,
and then it turns out, knowing a lot about Piper Laurie
really paid off.
So just go ahead and shout out any movie you thought of that we didn't say.
Return to Oz.
Return to Oz? Who's in that?
Oh.
She's that little talking flying monkey.
Johnny, that's your friend.
Oh no, that's Zach Braff.
Other People's Money.
Oh, she plays the secretary at the factory.
Now you're an expert.
Is that it? No more Nev Campbells?
We really, I mean, she just
basically spent a long part of her career
just being in Scream movies
and wild things.
What's that?
That's not one, Johnny. It is? I'll always know what you did last summer. That's not one, Johnny.
It is.
I'll always know what you did last summer.
But Jennifer Love Hewitt's...
I'll know it until we're dead.
She might not be dead.
She might not have made it that far.
That sounds like a straight to video thing or something.
Yeah, but we'll do some research later on that one, Johnny.
And who were you playing for, Guy?
Fabiola?
Fabiola.
Congratulations.
You're our winner.
You got hot dog fingers now.
I mean, did you even say that this was a possibility
when you talked him into coming to the show?
Or are you just like, we might win something?
Let's do this.
Something really special.
Just for you.
There you go.
Be careful.
It kind of has a side opening that's weird.
It's like kind of a little weird mystery box there.
But let's hear it for Fabiola, everybody.
Where are you going to put your Frozen poster?
Away from the sausage fingers.
She's going to immediately separate the Frozen poster and the sausage fingers. She's going to immediately separate the frozen poster
and the sausage fingers.
That makes sense.
Because you really,
you don't want those things
mingling with each other.
Let's start with Guy,
the winner.
Do your plugs.
What would you like to promote?
I am at Guy Branum
across all social media
and you should buy my book,
My Life as a Goddess
and you should watch the television program,
Platonic, starring Seth Rogen and me,
and you should watch Bros,
now streaming on Peacock.
That's all I got.
The person who texted me
about Barbara Crampton and Chopping Mall
was Paget Brewster.
Oh.
Yeah, because she was just on an episode,
and so I guess she's trying to watch horror movies now
to try to catch up or something.
But since you were on the show with her,
you've been texting about stuff.
We text about Top Chef and only Top Chef.
Yeah.
I think she really...
Do you do that?
Do you have people that you only text with one thing about?
A hundred per fucking cent, yes.
And I feel deeply self-conscious about it
but during the course of the past week and a half of um being a jew in a country or in a world where
israel is doing a lot of things the friends of mine who are uh jews who think about politics
and other people have been very important to me.
And I feel bad that I don't text them except when I'm like,
why is Israel doing this?
All right, I'll stop now.
It's like it was complicated and now it's more complicated.
And now that there's this information, disinformation superhighway
where you don't know who to believe anymore.
It's really wild.
But good luck to everybody.
Steve Hernandez, great job.
Great time for you to promote your comedy
after that discussion.
I like to set people up to succeed.
I've got a new podcast about Palestine.
And I strongly disagree with Guy. I've got a new podcast about Palestine.

I've got a new podcast dropping this week called Horned Dogs,
and I run the best independent show in L.A. County
called Chatterbox in Covina
on Saturdays and Sundays at 8.
That's it. Chatterbox in the cityina on Saturdays and Sundays at 8. That's it.
Chatterbox in the city of Covina? That's right.
I live down the street and I
live down the street from here and I commute
to fucking Covina. You gotta go
out there, Doug. It's the best show.
Covina's further than
West Covina? It's just
east of West Covina.
West Covina?
It's just east of West Covina.
Isn't that weird?
I've always wondered about that.
Like, why is the word east just like, we don't need it.
We're Covina.
Let the west side go ahead
and put that extra label on there.
Weirdos.
But what's the name
of the club there?
It's a bar.
It's called Chatterbox.
Oh, okay.
I thought you were saying
your show is called
Chatterbox.
We've been doing it
for 13 years.
It's got the,
for sure the best
open mic in LA.
Yep.
And then the Sunday show
13 years and then we have
a new weekly Saturday show
headline show.
It's great.
If you're anywhere
in the San Gabriel Valley
you'll absolutely love it.
It's very cheap.

Bar, Dunlap's, I should say,
and it's 4.20

and my friend Ramon
Rivas II will be there
who Amy and I have done
Douglas movies with in Cleveland before.
Many times, yeah.
Look for me there.
Come on, Cleveland. Come on out.
Now, I always end the show
lately with
Why are you laughing at that?
I was just thinking of the movie Cleveland, My Heart.
Sorry.
Robert Redford. Robert Redford.
Robert Redford is a shoe salesman.
Piper Laurie is his mother.
And Pierbo Piper plays their daughter.
And Ramon's in it somehow because, you know,
he just weasels his way into shit in Cleveland.
Oh, Piper Perabo is the craziest name.
I can't believe it's real.
She's on a TV show, right?
Suits or something?
One of those?
One of those kind of shows?
Anyway, look for all of my dates and deets
at the douglovesmovies.com web page.
It's basically just a page, but we got links and stuff there.
And, oh, this is what I was going to say,
is that every episode lately I've been closing with the last line from a motion picture,
and I've had some pretty weird ones, like the last episode I said,
the last line of a movie was come on eat and that was
Sigourney Weaver at the end of Alien says that to her cat Jonesy so that's the the great last
line of the motion picture Alien do any of you on stage have a favorite last line from a movie
because I neglected to do the research today to come up with one.
I wrote down one that I've already done
before. I mean, it's hot, but
Nobody's Perfect is pretty fucking good.
It's such a good one. At the end of
Some Like It Hot. I always
love Shut Up and Deal. Shut Up and
Deal is the end of The Apartment. It's like
Billy Wilder, really,
him and, you know, I wonder if
Cameron Crowe's movies are very quotable, like Billy Wilder, really, him and, you know, I wonder if Cameron Crowe's movies are very quotable,
like Billy Wilder, but I don't think he has great last lines.
Like, you had me at hello is in the middle of the movie.
I think Almost Famous has one.
Has a good one at the end?
I don't know what it is, yeah.
It's like, oh, damn, I'm almost famous.
Didn't quite get there.
The end of Almost Famous was, was wow I didn't realize you were 14
yeah there is a weird
a weird age thing there
but at least the actress was 37
so
it's not as bad as it could be
but Lolisa knows what we're talking about
she brought in the Lolita poster
that's all I'm saying alright so what do we decide to go
with how are we going to close this out oh shut up and deal is a good one i'll do shut up and deal
yeah has everybody seen the apartment yeah that's a really good one all right Thank you once again to the Improv Lab. We'll be back in a month at the Melrose Improv. And to the staff here and all of my guests, Guy Branum, Steve Hernandez, Amy Miller. As always, shut up and deal!
