There's still not one that he won't sleep with
The love of the movies
Hey everybody.
My name is Doug and I love movies.
This is Doug Loves Movies.
Coming to you from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday, August 9th to Ocean's 11.
Apologies to any babies or prophets who were offended by last week's show
and thanks to everyone who came out
to the boner episode taping
of Doug Loves Movies
at the Comedy Factory
in Baltimore, Maryland
available soon
or now on iTunes for $2
my flight to Baltimore
was delayed you guys
we had to start the
show late, started about an hour or so late. I didn't eat dinner because we raced over
to the club and people sent up drinks right away. So I got, I was blackout drunk
by halfway through the show. Like I had to listen to the show to find out what
happened after about halfway through. I only to listen to the show to find out what happened
after about halfway through. I only remember
to a certain point.
It is...
I can't say that it's
a great episode, but it
is certainly... Trainwreck
was used a lot in tweets the next day
from people that were there.
So I'm just saying, let the buyer beware.
You know, caveat emptor.
Buy this at your own risk.
But thanks again, Baltimore,
for being patient with the late start
and for sending up all the shots, shots, shots.
Thanks also to the 600 peeps
who came out to my show at the Wilbur Theater in Boston
and to the 6,000-plus 311 fans
who screamed at Graham Elwood and I
during our entire appearance on stage
at the Pow Wow Festival.
It was really fun to be there,
but the audience was just like,
the whole time, and Graham was like,
I'm going to do a bit, and the audience was like,
and then he'd stop,
and so our whole performance was crazy.
It was mostly me kicking beach balls back into the crowd.
But like I said, I had a great time.
And I can't wait for the next 311 cruise. It's going to be in May.
Two Oceans 12.
Oh, yeah.
Peanut.
So the number one movie
in the country right now is Rise of the Planet of the Apes
which I...
Three people enjoyed.
We have some monkeys in the audience.
I haven't seen it yet
because I refuse to see any movie that has
of the in the title twice.
New rule.
I'm going to be at the
Galaxy Theater in Santa Ana
on August 21st doing a Benson
interruption and please bring your
name tags because I'm going to have a special
guest come down to the Galaxy Theater
in Santa Ana and play the Leonard Maltin
game head toto-head against
audience members. So that's going to be a lot
of fun. My guests tonight
are three of my favorites.
Please welcome,
traffic pending, one of them might not be here yet.
Please welcome James
Gunn, Steve Agee, and Jeff Garlin!
Garland.
All right.
Only two of us.
Fair enough.
No Jeff.
No Jeff Garland.
Hi, Jeff Garland.
He's stuck in traffic.
He called me from his cell phone.
There's an RV tipped over on the freeway.
There is. Anybody else drive anybody else you see that thing it looks
like an rv fell from the sky it's just like a big smashed open rv like i literally thought it i was
like looking for a cliff that it fell from but it's there's nothing around it it's just a big
smashed open rv it's like something out of Magnolia.
The original draft of Magnolia.
Yeah, yeah.
One frog makes an RV flip over.
I think it's from the future.
That was James Gunn talking about the RV, everybody.
Super is out on DVD today!
Yay! Oh, I love that movie. I saw it two and a half times. on DVD today. Yay.
Oh, I love that movie.
I saw it two and a half times.
Why half?
As front row Jordan
with the baseball nose.
There was a half a time
because we did some sort of
Q&A thing
and I only saw the first
or the second half.
I forget which.
Is that the time you did
the Q&A with Michael Rooker and Sean Gunn?
We did one Q&A with Michael and Sean and Steve.
Which was like the first, the worst Q&A ever, right?
Well, I had a great time.
I thought the audience had a great time.
But Michael Rooker and probably Sean were not told that I was a comedian.
They were confused.
And they also thought you were going to be there.
So they were like, why is, you know,
one of them was like, why isn't my brother here?
They were both, why isn't my brother here?
Yeah, three actors who are arguably supporting roles.
Yeah.
So there was no leads there.
But we still had a fun Q&A because Rooker is fucking Rooker
and your brother's funny
and then Steve Agee was there
I remember last time we were here
we were about halfway through
I was here with Rooker
and we were halfway through the whole show
before Rooker realized you were the same guy
I was that same guy
Q&A with one week before
and he was like that guy wasn't funny
but you're funny
it's like
well it's my crowd
this time
but
but yeah
it was
it was fun
I love doing all that stuff
in support
of that movie
because I saw it
at South by Southwest
and
and loved it
are you reading this?
no I looked I looked down to see what's next.
That was from the heart.
This next part was written down.
The opening title animated sequence is fantastic.
I love how all of the characters are out of breath at the end.
I wrote that down.
Because that is amazing.
Because I saw it today.
Somebody tweeted just the opening title sequence. Yeah, sequence yeah there's a website called art of the
title which is a pretty cool website which just goes through different title
sequences and how they came about how they were made and it shows you the
whole title sequence yeah I'd say I'd say yours is probably the best ones
what's another good one over the recent years like I thought the land had a
great I really liked catch Me If You Can.
Catch Me If You Can was great.
And they do older stuff like Vertigo and things like that as well.
But it's a great site.
But yesterday they posted the super titles and talked to Shad and Julia Vickerman
and the folks who put together the title for the company called Puny Entertainment.
How much notage did you have to give them?
Like how much back and forth was there in creating that?
Here's the weird thing about the opening titles.
I originally hired another company to do the opening titles.
And when I saw their version, because in the script it was kind of specific.
It's like, this happens, Michael Rooker shoots beams out of his eyes, and then this guy explodes.
And then at the end it becomes a big dance sequence with everybody
from the cast dancing together.
I got the first draft of their opening
titles and there was three
people kind of moving a little bit
shaking.
That was their dance sequence.
I literally, truly cried
because it was so different from what I wanted.
Why isn't Greg Henry in the dance sequence
as the detective? Where, where's Andre Royal?
And where's Steve A.G.?
Oh, Bubz from The Wire is in Super.
I love that guy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so I fired them and hired Puny Entertainment, who does Yo Gabba Gabba, you know, and they came through.
So the first time I saw it, it was great.
But there was a script to it.
I mean, it says, you know, but they added a lot of stuff, and they really took it all the way we had a few you know it's so
fun and how many how much uh when did the song get become a part of it oh the song the song was a
part of it from the first time i wrote the script i imagined that song czar's calling all destroyer
being part of the opening you know credits when i first imagined all those characters dancing to uh the song i imagined using that song it's amazing it makes you so
pumped for the movie and then the movie's so heavy and dark and fucked up that it's yeah it's a great
experience it cuts directly from the big dance sequence to a very depressing scene between
kevin bacon and michael and uh and uh rain wilson but you said that uh on twitter today you said
that you think that more people have seen it
since it came out today on DVD
than the entire theatrical release.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Everybody's seeing it today.
Yeah, yeah.
I've gotten just hundreds and hundreds of messages
from people who have seen the movie on Blu-ray and DVD today.
I think especially from the East Coast,
once it started becoming like evening time there,
it's been coming in all day,
and it's been pretty fun, pretty exciting.
Because you can get it anywhere now, and it's such a limited release.
Walmart.
Best Buy, I think there's an extra DVD with extra stuff on it.
Oh, really?
Rain and I will be there.
The original animated sequence.
You guys are going to do a signing here.
This is going to plop on Friday, but for the people sitting here,
you're doing a signing tomorrow at Amoeba?
At Amoeba, yeah.
Okay, cool.
So check that out if you're here in this audience now.
If you're listening, don't bother to, don't like try to get a train or plane ticket.
Steve, were you upset that your super character wasn't in the opening animation?
I was in the opening animation.
Oh, then I take that one back.
in the opening animation?
I was in the opening animation.
Oh, then I take that one back.
Very briefly, you can see me.
What do you do in that?
What am I doing? I don't remember.
I think I'm chasing...
I think you blow...
You're in the background blowing yourself.
Yeah, that could be it.
Jerking off.
Yeah, you play the comic book store jerk-off.
Yeah.
Do you work there,
or are you just hanging out there?
I think...
You tell me.
What's your backstory
of your character?
I work there.
That's what you do
because you're behind
the counter sleeping.
You work there with Ellen Page.
Yeah.
Who, by the way,
I just want to throw this out there
because I know there's one person,
at least one person
that listens to this podcast
that's an Academy voter.
So I think there should be
a serious campaign
for Ellen Page
for Best Supporting Actress
for her performance
in that movie.
I agree.
You know,
I mean,
Rainn Wilson's awesome too,
but to hope for
a Best Actor nod
would be like,
that's really crazy.
But for her,
since she's been
nominated previously
and is so amazing
and is a very
pivotable...
Pivotable?
It's pitiable and pivotal.
And then when they introduce her at the Academy
and they show the scene,
it could be the one either where she
rapes Rainn Wilson,
or the scene where she makes fun of the way
mongoloids look.
Because that's the kind of thing the Academy
loves. It is. It will be
troublesome for the clip department
at every TV station
in the world.
Or the part where she talks about how her vagina
is gushy. Gushy.
Anyway, she's great in it, so
I'm going to campaign for her. I campaigned for
the girl who played Hit Girl last year.
That didn't really work out.
My campaigns can't do anything, but I still try.
So Jeff Garland, let me ask you this.
Go ahead, ask me.
I'll ask Steve who played Jeff, and I'll ask him the question I wrote down for Jeff.
What do your kids think of Wall-E?
Isn't it fucking bleak for children?
My kids went to the movie
and they didn't even know it was me.
Nothing makes me happier than Jeff Garlin laughing
while he's telling his story.
It's so awesome.
How's it sound?
I don't know.
It's amazing.
Oh, God.
If he gets here, I'm sure he'll do it.
Let's talk about him as if he's dead.
He was so...
He was so great.
I know he was heading over in his...
I know he was heading over in his RV.
Yeah.
He was heading over in the sequel to RV.
And Robin Williams was yelling
and Cheryl Hines was like,
we've worked together.
So what have you guys seen lately?
Have you been to the cinema lately
with all the excitement of Super coming out?
I saw Rise of the Planet
of the Apes
on Sunday,
which to me
was by far
the best blockbuster
of the summer.
I mean,
I loved it.
And I got teary-eyed.
Turned out better
than Green Lantern.
Barely.
Barely better.
Better than...
But that's pretty...
So you really liked it.
I can't...
I'm having trouble
getting into it. I haven't seen it yet. Did you see it? I haven't seen it. Dude, it's great. Did you really liked it. I can't. I'm having trouble getting into it.
I haven't seen it yet.
Did you see it?
I haven't seen it.
Dude, it's great.
Did you guys see it?
Those monkeys.
The reviews are pretty good.
It gets three or four stars from pretty much everyone.
Yeah, I mean, I heard the studio didn't have, I mean, they didn't show it to people until
like three days.
They didn't show it to critics until like three days before the film came out.
Why do you think they didn't know they had a good movie on their hands?
You know, because studios are idiots.
They don't know if a movie is good or if people are going to like it.
And they have other movies they put out there right away
that they think are going to be big hits,
or not big hits, that people are going to like,
and other ones they don't.
But, I mean, people love the movie.
I went to see it with eight people this weekend.
It was my birthday this weekend.
Yeah, happy birthday.
Who cares?
And I went to see it
with like eight people and every single person
I was with loved the movie.
That's great. I'm glad you all liked it
and I hope I will like it
but I'm still skeptical.
You know, the emotional part of it works
and it's great seeing those apes run around
and kill humans. You are 100% wanting gorillas to kill humans at the end of the movie.
I mean, it's like every time a gorilla throws a guy off a bridge, you're happy.
Yeah, like Tom Felton's really mean to the monkeys, I heard.
Yeah.
So, I saw Arthur on the plane home from wherever I was
and I didn't love it but you know what
I was charmed by Russell Brand
and the girl in it
Greta Gerwig
I thought these two are both very extremely
likable and their throwaway lines
are really funny like it's a movie
with a horrible plot and all the throwaway
lines are funny so it's like
it's charming on a plane,
but if I was in a movie theater,
I'd be like,
when's he going to get caught
between the moon and New York City?
Did you guys see Captain America?
No, I haven't seen it yet.
But people in the audience,
did you think the cinematography
was extra dark on that movie,
or is it just me?
Because I saw a 2D version of it,
and some guy wrote me
a long email hipping me to the fact
that apparently
theaters across the country
and the world are
being lame about
when a movie is 2D and not 3D
they're not switching over the proper
equipment
and so that movies are being
projected darker when they're supposed to be
2D, but they could have been in the
3D theater.
It was such a long, complicated thing.
I was like, by the end of it, I was like,
I don't care anymore.
So apologies to anyone
who, if you're in a theater and the movie
seems too dark, I guess you could complain
or say something to somebody and not
assume it was just photographed that way.
By the way, I love that people clap
just when you said 2D.
Which I agree.
I fucking hate 2D.
Oh, yeah.
I've been on a crusade.
I really seek out 3D movies in 2D.
And I'm kind of frustrated
because I don't think Glee in 3D
is going to have any 2D showing.
Because it's for an exclusive two weeks only.
That's so weird when a movie comes out.
Two weeks only.
Oh, like they're not going to fucking keep it around
if it's doing good business.
It's more like just trying to trick people into going immediately
and getting a better number on the opening weekend.
You should have tried that with Super.
You should have said, one night only.
Oh, held over to Saturday.
We did that by accident.
We're going to Sunday.
That sort of thing.
This is crazy how late Jeff is.
Yeah.
Like, I thought he'd just be a few minutes late.
No, it's bad.
I'm telling you, I left really early, and I barely made it.
Is there a chance he won't make it at all?
No, that's unlikely.
Okay.
It's 7.52 Pacific Standard.
And we're going to wrap this up at about 8.15.
So what do you think?
When do you think he's going to get here?
Oh, wow.
I think it'll be really close to 8.
Five minutes?
Yeah.
I have a question about Arthur.
Is Arthur drunk in the movie?
Yeah, yeah.
Because in the trailer, he's the movie? Yeah, yeah. Because in the trailer
he's not drunk.
Well, yeah,
they don't,
for some reason
they don't push that
in the trailer.
I don't know why.
I'm always amazed
by how
like drunkenness
and being high
are like so,
so treated
so differently
like in the media
and stuff.
Like if you watch
any episode of Ellen
in the afternoon, she's not going to make episode of ellen in the afternoon she's not
gonna make any references to anybody being high unless it's like about some crazy hippie that did
some weird thing but she goes to the let's get drunk well she makes jokes about drinking a shot
or doing scotch like all the time and her biggest fan base is probably women who would sign up for Mothers Against Drug Driving but somehow it's still funny to reference drinking
but not at all funny or okay to mention marijuana what are your thoughts I think
would be ridiculous what does that have to do with movies I get mad at Ellen so much well and then she thinks
then it's time to dance
and you're like
I forgive her
she's dancing through the audience
I wish I could do that
like my show every night
don't have to prepare any jokes
just say hey it's time to dance
I just dance through the crowd
and then I interview Justin Timberlake
does Ellen seem like
an awful human being to you?
is that an evil thing to you? Is that the thing
to say?
No, I mean, seriously.
Very evenly divided audience.
I know you've got a big crossover
with the Ellen crowd, Doug Benson.
But she's good at
projecting
that she's nice on the TV show.
And I'd say off camera,
she is not as nice as you as she is on camera. But she's also not the TV show. And I'd say off camera, she is not as nice as you,
as she is on camera.
But she's also not terrible, I hope.
That's what my guess is.
I mean, I know a lot of writers
that she's fired.
My assistant,
I'm going to get somebody in trouble,
but my assistant used to work
for Ellen DeGeneres.
Yeah.
And people are not contractually,
they're not allowed to talk
about other people.
Of course, I try to get her to talk, tell me shit about Ellen DeGeneres all the time.
And she won't do it.
But she makes a face.
And I don't think she does it on purpose.
She smiles real big?
Yeah.
Every time you bring up her name, just lights up.
I have to tell you, I wrote some, I tried to write some jokes for her for the Emmys one year.
I don't think she did a single joke of mine, but it was still fun to hang out.
And that whole process was interesting to me.
But one time I was at her house and Portia de Rossi walked in from somewhere.
And so they sort of said hi or whatever.
But they sort of made out for a second in front of me.
And it probably was one of the top five things
that's ever happened to me.
I'll tell you the most embarrassing
story ever.
When I first moved to Los Angeles
I lived with Jamie
Kennedy and I went to
I did.
Is that the embarrassing story?
That's the beginning of an embarrassing story
that has been more embarrassing.
He was great on Entourage this week, buddy.
I lived in Jamie Kennedy's guest house,
and I went to the Scream 2 premiere
and spent a whole night
coming on to Portia de Rossi.
For real.
Absolutely for real.
I completely thought I was in there,
and then was very surprised
when things didn't work out.
The whole night you were like,
this uninterested bitch thing
is really turning me on.
She was really...
This is really appealing.
She was really nice.
She seemed to like me.
She hung out with me.
We were hanging out,
but it just didn't...
That part didn't happen.
She seems very sweet
and her involvement
in Arrested Development
makes her untouchable in my mind,
because she was great on it and seemed to get it.
And she was good on that Better Off Ted,
and she's good.
She's a good actress.
All right.
Jeff is still not here,
for those of you noticing that
Jeff Garland isn't doing all the talking.
I invited him down here thinking he would dominate this show and we wouldn't get
to have any of the conversations I wanted to have
and now I've had all of those.
I mean, is it so late that we should
get someone else to come in, you know,
for the Leonard Maltin game?
I don't know. That's what I'm wondering.
At what point, because we've got to play the game,
so we could just have the
two of you play against each other or we could go forever. We could nominate we've got to play the game, so we could just have the two of you play against each other,
or we could nominate an audience member to play on Jeff's behalf until he arrives.
Yeah, let's do that.
That's a good idea.
All right, let's see your name tags.
Wait, wait, wait.
Somebody who looks really stupid.
Jeff isn't really stupid.
Let's see your name.
Where's the name tags, you guys?
Everyone doesn't have name tags.
Jordan, of course.
Oh, what am I talking about Jordan
Come on
You say you're terrible at it come play
Alright it's Jordan everybody
He's here every week with his baseball
He's never
He's never won
You've never won right
Never won over five
Five people have played for him
And he's never won Now here's Never won. Over five. Five people have played for him, and he's never won.
He has a good chance of winning.
Now here's a chance for you to play and win for yourself.
This is exciting.
No, don't worry about that.
There's somebody with a skateboard up there.
That's an awesome name tag on a skateboard.
All right, so...
Yeah, you're going to play for somebody.
That would be awesome.
I love Pez.
Steve has already got his.
He's playing for Matt with the Batman Pez dispenser.
I want the skateboard, guys.
That's going too far.
James wants the skateboard. If you can go grab it, James, that would be awesome.
But I'm really sad I've lost every time.
What do you mean every time?
You've only been on twice before.
Yeah, yeah.
Third time's the charm.
Jordan's going to pick one.
Is there any baseballs out there?
Have a baseball
kismet?
Oh, he got a banana.
That's nice. Another B word.
That's fun.
Jordan with the baseballs playing for Jude
with the banana.
It's like a terrible
film title from the 70s.
And what's the name
on your skateboard there, James?
Meredith.
Meredith.
Meredith.
Yeah, person.
Nice.
Yeah.
She wrote her name
on the bottom of the skateboard.
Does he get to keep it?
No.
No.
She's got no way
of getting home.
Yeah.
And Steve got a
Batman Pez dispenser
that someone
took a Sharpie and wrote Matt on.
I assume
it was Matt who did it.
Let me check my messages
to see if Jeff's even trying to text.
I guess he's obeying
California law and not texting while driving.
Even though he's probably stuck
in. If I get stuck and it's not moving
I feel like texting's
okay sure yeah yeah totally at that point because then you're just gonna get an offender bender at
worst yeah laws don't apply when there's traffic yeah it's like every man for himself or monkey
if you're on the golden Gate Bridge and the climax of Rise.
Why didn't they call it Giant Erection
of the Planet of the Apes?
Alright.
Here are the categories. Let's let Jordan start us off.
Great.
Playing for Jeff Garlin, playing for Jude.
Jordan, Jeff, Jude.
Which category would you like? Jordan, Jeff, Jude. would you like
which category would you like Jordan Jeff Jude
would you like
Vanilla Ice that's movies with either
Vanilla or Ice in the title
because movies starring
Vanilla Ice are just one
at
Norito Ott
OTT suggested Bad Movies
which are movies with bad in the title.
And then it's
Anna Kendrick's birthday today,
but I just wanted to give her a shout out.
She doesn't have enough movies to qualify.
She's been in
four movies and all the Twilight
films, so it'd be too easy.
I think. I don't know. She said
she shouldn't be a category. We talked
about it.
But Tom Lennon is also
celebrating a birthday. Another former guest
on the show.
So in honor
of Anna's birthday and Tom's birthday,
let's do movies that
Tom Lennon is in.
Which one would you like?
I'm going to go with the crowd and go with the Tom Lennon
movies. Oh, nice.
Even though I know like one.
The crowd loves him.
This movie's from 2009.
Leonard gives it two and a half stars.
I'm just looking around.
Jeff Garland just walked in.
I thought maybe Jeff walked in.
And he's like, there's no seat for me.
That's exactly what he sounds like.
Two and a half stars from Leonard,
this 2009 motion picture
from the category,
what was the category?
Tom Lennon movie.
I was just testing you.
The two main characters
are sharply drawn and well played.
And TV star Lou Ferrigno plays himself.
That's a pretty strong clue.
It's from 2009, two and a half stars.
And there are 12 names.
How many names do you think you get in Jordan?
And we'll go to James Gunn. 11. 11 names. How many names do you think you get in Jordan? Then we'll go to James Gunn.
11.
11 names.
Smart opening bid.
Why take any risks?
James, what do you think?
Well, I know I saw this movie, but I can't remember exactly what it is.
So I'm going to say...
You shouldn't give that away to your competitors.
I know, but he's going to underbid me.
So, five names.
Okay.
That's good.
Strong.
Steve?
I'll say two names.
Nice.
Come back to Jordan, playing for Jude.
Name it.
Name that movie, Steve.
You get two names?
Yeah.
Do you want the clues again?
Yeah.
Or just the names.
Lou Frigno plays himself.
Two main characters are sharply drawn and well played.
Two and a half stars.
2009.
And your two names are Lou Frigno.
And Sarah Burns.
Is it I Love You Man?
That's correct!
Steve Agee on the board.
Jordan challenged him.
We'll start with James and then go to Steve.
And your category options are
it's Sam Elliott's birthday today, so
the film's Sam Elliott.
Love that guy.
Summer blockbusters, because you know
it's summer and there are blockbusters
that happen in the summer.
And at Kellyanne Rogers suggested
Cowboys and Aliens. That's movies that have
either cowboys or
aliens. Jesus, that's like
every movie. Yeah.
That's most of the film.
I'm going to go ahead and do cowboys and aliens.
Alright.
This movie with cowboys or aliens
is from 1992.
Leonard Maltin gives it two stars.
He says about
this movie that
it is
followed by a sequel
and has some good
performances
alright I'll give you one more
that's also every movie
I'll give you one more
a sense, a feeling of deja vu
hangs over the proceedings
he says about this movie that has good performances and was followed by a sequel.
And there's two stars, 1992, and there are nine names.
There's some whispering in the audience.
James got, wait, I thought we were going to, yeah, start with James?
Yeah, yeah.
Is that what I said?
I'll do it with, I can do it in eight names.
All right, this time we go to Jordan.
We switch the order around each time.
I'll go with seven this time.
I'll give it a little bit of a shot this time.
Seven.
You would have a chance if you could hear seven names.
I'll say six.
Steve, I think you said six. Steve Agee says six.
James Gunn.
Okay, I want Steve to name it.
With six names?
Fucker.
Steve's already on the board with a point?
This could end right now.
This could end right now.
I'm not gonna...
This could end right now.
Then we'll do ten minutes of talking about Jeff Garlin.
And whether or not he'll make it.
This is some Jack Bauer shit, y'all.
Alright, six names.
Pete Possilthwaite.
The late
Pete Possilthwaite.
This is 92?
Yes, sir.
There was a sequel after it, and Deja Vu hangs over it.
Was Pete Puzzle Thwait in the sequel?
That doesn't matter.
Okay, go on.
You can't ask that many questions.
Yeah.
Lance Henriksen, Danny Webb, Ralph Brown, Brian Glover, and Paul McGann.
From 1992.
Has cowboys or aliens in it.
Somebody just whispered species.
Shut up.
Why does whispering make it okay?
Loud whispering.
Species.
Or maybe that's just how
that person sounds when they sneeze.
Bless you then. What do you think you think Steve I have no idea name a
movie that has cowboys or aliens in it from around 1992 well that would get two stars so that as a
sequel I don't know I mean I would guess like tombstone or sequel thing is confused is a confusing clue I'll admit it right now I just couldn't find anything else everything
else gives it away more of the same sequel you give up right yeah more of
the same sequel has Weaver and other survivors of aliens on an isolated
prison planet where you guessed it the alien regenerates itself and runs
amok.
Oh, we got the word amok in there.
Isn't he smart?
A-M-O-K.
Anyway, Alien 3 is the name of the movie, and who made you name it?
That's me.
James made you name it, so.
We're tied.
We're tied.
Very exciting.
You each have a point.
Jeff Garland's doing terrible.
But then, you know, Jordan told us ahead of time
that he's not good at it, so
I think he's doing great.
I'm very impressed.
You get to start this time.
And then we'll go...
What would be the reverse order? Go to James?
Species.
Species.
People are still whispering species.
Is that a category suggestion?
I thought he said space balls when he first said it, which I had no idea.
I would love to see Pete Possilweight's role in space balls.
He was Chewbacca.
Oh, no, that was John Candy was the Chewbacca.
Okay, so Jordan, you get a pick, right?
Yeah, I get a pick.
Lions, tigers, and bears.
Movies that feature a lion, tiger, bear, or all of the above.
At Big Moser, M-O-S-E-R, suggested One Fine Day,
which is the films of Rafe or Joseph Fine.
Amazing.
Amazing.
And then we'll give you once again Vanilla Ice, movies with vanilla or ice.
Which one would you like?
I have no shot at this one at all.
But One Fine Day is actually my favorite chick flick, so we're going to go with that one.
That is not a bad chick flick.
I love it.
It's not good either, but...
Okay.
Three and a half stars from Leonard
for this 1998 spirited, entertaining speculation.
He calls it a speculation.
What a weird word to use.
But accurate once you know.
And he says that
it's witty and sensual.
Alright, so it's 1998.
It's spirited, entertaining speculation that is witty and sensual. He gives it three and a half
stars.
Either Rafe or Joseph Fine
is in this movie and you have
11 names.
Yep, 11.
Jordan's going with the strong,
passionate, 11
names.
And we go to James eight names name that fuck me fuck okay by the
way you could have included the movies of Larry finds he doesn't spell it the
same way and I how many features did they do?
Was it always just like the three stooges in outer space?
The three stooges go to Camp David.
Okay, I think you're going to get it.
Okay.
Yeah.
I'm confident in you with your eight names.
Do you want the clues again?
Yeah.
Three and a half stars from Leonard, 1998. Spirited, entertaining speculation. I'm confident in you with your eight names. Do you want the clues again? Yeah.
Three and a half stars from Leonard.
1998.
Spirited.
Entertaining.
Speculation.
That is also witty and sensual.
And your eight out of 11 names are Antony Schur.
Martin Klunes.
Tom Wilkinson.
Ben Affleck.
Imilda Staunton.
Colin Firth.
Simon Cowell. Judi Dench
the audience Simon Cowell no no no
hello hello see a hello WC a. Cal-O. Simon Cowell
is not the fifth-billed person
in a sensual witty...
It would be a speculation.
It would be a speculation.
Is it Shakespeare in Love?
That's correct!
Judy Dench, of course,
Oscar-nominated for that.
That's a big clue. Ben Affleck wasn't bad in that, I course, Oscar nominated for that. That's a big clue.
Ben Affleck wasn't bad in that, I thought, under the circumstances.
What are the circumstances?
That he sucks?
Well, no, just that that...
No, he doesn't.
He's actually okay sometimes.
Yeah, but just that that guy from the kinds of things he was doing was suddenly in this
movie about Shakespeare, and he pulled it off.
Right, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay, does that mean I win?
That means you're the winner. Yeah, you. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, does that mean I win? That means you're the winner, yeah.
