Doug hates candy wrappers screening baby sticky seeds With 50 as it pop our furtles in his teeth They're still not one that we won't see But Doug loves movies Hey, hey, hey everybody My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies! Coming to you for the first time ever from've performed here as a stand-up many times before, but it was great to bring Doug Lowe's movies here for the first time. I've

always enjoyed not only playing this club, but talking about it. Because Rooster Tea Feathers, a lot of people, it's a fun name. It's fun to say. And when people ask me what the T stands for, I know the answer. So it's fun to just have that piece of trivia at my command. And of course, it stands for tire store. Um... Because... I'm sure many of you, many of you parked at the tire store,

which is mercifully closed on Sundays. But no, it is in fact great to be here on Sunday afternoon, August 11th,th 2024 the last day of the Paris Olympics were you into that yeah well thank you for skipping that to be here the coverage is still going on it's over I guess they already did the ceremonies you know because they're like eight hours ahead of us but or more I think it's a anyway Tom Cruise yeah he jumped off to the top of the stadium into the stadium and he lived really he got quiet here like people thought that I was the way that I'm like

I'm gonna break the news to everybody that Tom Cruise killed himself at the Olympics. People need to know. But yeah, I'm very glad that you're gonna, that you're gonna, just so excited that you're gonna be here. You are here, and thank you for that, for coming to join me this afternoon. And now, of course, we're already at the part everybody likes the most.

It's Doug Plugs. Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs! Settle down! Doug Lowe's Movies is going to be back at Helium in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, November, I think it's two, maybe three, I think it's two, at 420 with three of your favorite guests. So for all of my dates and deets and linkity links, be sure to go to douglovesmovies.com. That's douglovesmovies.com! Yeah! Ta-da!

Wall and shh! Ten minutes. Yeah. Wow, I would... If I wasn't anxious to move along, I would slow clap the shit out of y'all. I really deserve a slow clap. That was the most... Or, you know, since it is the last day of the Olympics, I'm giving you tens

across the board. That was a perfect execution. There's always somebody that gets shh and Ted Danson in the wrong order. And usually that person is me. All right, let's look at the Parise bag. It's such an adorable bag. I got a tote that's promoting the movie Robot Dreams. And it's just, it's the cutest, it's such a cute robot and a dog. It's a movie about a robot and a dog are friends.

And if you hate dialogue, it's the movie for you, because they don't say shit. You're a big dialogue hater. So I get shirts that are in the wrong size. I get them given to me from time to time. And I like to pass them, pay them forward, and hope that the prize bag winner tonight is the same size or likes to have a big shirt to wear around the house

or something. So I'm just doing my thing on ex-formerly Twitter and I said something about some fast food place, something about, you know, oh why are the chips always stay on Chipotle and then the KFC account goes you don't have to worry about that with us well first of all you don't sell chips but they're really like hey it's not a problem with us give us a DM and I'm like what I wrote back what why am I supposed to DM you in it and then the KFC account on? Ex formally Twitter is just like don't worry. It'll be good So I Really I sat around for a couple days going do I want to get into it?

with the person running the KFC Twitter for so Exformally Twitter so so I DM'd and said, so what's the deal? And they wrote back and said, if you give us your address, we will send you a gift certificate and a T-shirt. And tell us your size. So I told them about my extra largeness I said an XL I gave him my address and then they sent me an L like what kind of fucking prank is that I get it if you buy a shirt they make a mistake but they've they offered so

anyway this is this is what it looks like on the back I'm not even gonna try to describe it sorry sorry listeners so also in this bag is another shirt that's not my size, but I would wear because it's from a cool company called Moo-ha Meds. I hope I'm pronouncing that right. Moo-ha. And then I got some sanitizing wipes from the plane. You know, I'll take an extra one when they're not looking.

And then I got some pins. I got a pin in my face, Doug Benson. But then I also brought a pin. I thought a winner here might be familiar with this radio show that's in Los Angeles now, but it's called The Woody Show. And I think he was based up here for a while. So I thought, oh, that's a fun thing to give away to somebody that probably wonders why they can't ever

hear that show anymore. But it's very popular in LA. I don't know if it's syndicated elsewhere. And then, this is my favorite thing that I'm giving away on this particular occasion. I'll scare everybody over here with it. Ah! It's a little fucking Chucky!

With a worse hairline than I ever remember Chuckie having. Like it's really way up there. Like it looks like Tarantino was a red haired baby. All right, so all of that is going into this adorable bag that someone's gonna take home tonight. And the way to take it home is to suck up to my three guests because they're gonna play for people in the audience and my guests standing by to come on stage right now I hope because the green room is outside so I think a

lot of times people probably get introduced here and they're just out in the back enjoying the great outdoors. Give it up everybody please for Jesse Hat, God, I'm really high today. Then I just realized that one of the legs in the chair is shorter, so that's why I thought it was just a more like just cool flowing with the vibe hey everybody hi Doug let's meet you all individually and alphabetically by first name so directly to my left everybody it's Blair Saki Saki! Wow, thank you. Hey, Blair.

Hey, Doug. How are you? Thanks for having me today. You're headlining here all weekend at Roosters. I am. Tonight will be my concluding set at 730, military night. Who's coming back for that? Yeah!

I knew somebody. I appreciate you. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I Yeah! I knew somebody. I appreciate you. Wait till he's in the audience at your show. Yeah. The rest of you could take a cue from that guy.

The rest of you could take a cue from that guy. Well, thanks for participating in this on this beautiful afternoon, Blair. You know, you could have been in your hotel room watching Disney animated classics on preform. And thank you, Doug, for doing a guest spot on my show last night. Oh, that was super fun. Yeah. Yeah. That's why I'm really happy there's nobody sitting in that very corner over there, because there

was a couple over there that made out during the first three acts. Yeah. And then during Blair's act, she just kept yelling out random shit, but then going back to trying to talk to her boyfriend until he finally just got up and she followed him out. Yeah.

At full volume. It was beautiful self-eviction. Yeah. The likes of which you just don't get. You usually have to have words with drunk people that are being, you know, interrupted. Yeah. I mean, she wouldn't shut up if her life depended on it, but she over-served herself.

So she wrecked herself. I think that's how the rhyme goes. But thanks for being here, Shana. Thank you, Doug. All right, also joining us today is, wow, you all sat down in the right order. That's dumb. Oh yeah. Amazing.

It's the first time guests on the program. Jesse Head, everybody! Thank you. It is. Yeah. Happy New Year, Jesse. Man, thank you for having me. I was surprised to get the invite because I'm more of a shows guy. But, you know.

You're more of a what guy? A shows guy. Shows? Than movies. Oh, TV shows. Yeah, I'm a showsman. That's... I was...

I was raised in a shows family. You know, like my... My dad calls movies long shows. See, that's how... he won't refer to them as movies. Well it's also a very Midwest thing. Us Californian-ers don't really, never really did this, but you know especially when I travel to the Midwest, people say going to the show. Absolutely. And I watch a movie with my dad, he pauses every 22 minutes and then he turns to me and he's like, that's a crazy episode, huh?

Yeah, I guess so. Stop the episode mid-sentence, huh, Dad? Normal. Yeah, you should watch like Pluto or two movies. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah, I guess so. Stop the episode mid-sentence, huh, Daz?

Normal? Yeah, you should watch like Pluto or Tubi are one of those ones where they show movies, but there's so many commercials it feels like you're watching a TV show. All right. So, well, that's good that you write up front, you confess that you're more of a TV guy than a movie guy. But if you're heavily immersed in TV and know all the players, now it seems like the two of, it used to be movie stars didn't wanna do TV. Now movie stars do TV

because they wanna be a fucking EGOT, god damn it. Yeah. They gotta get that god damn Emmy, so they gotta do TV. And now they can do mini series and limited series and all these different things to grab the gold. So you're probably familiar with most of the actors out there today. Absolutely, it's like a, oh, movie stars didn't use

to do TV shows. Yeah, well, women didn't use to vote, guys. So fucking. Come on. Now let me reiterate, he's a first time guest. So, you never know what you're gonna get. What a fun analogy. Do you post things like that?

Do you sit back and watch the responses roll in? Like I said, man, I'm from a shows family. We do things a little different culturally. Yeah, you have that stay at home shoes off etiquette. The people who love movies, they're going out. Out to the cinema. Which I cannot, we'll get to that in a second. I weekly, weekly now, I sermonize that everybody should go out to the movies. But let's say hello to our third guest. It's Johnny Taylor Jr. Thank you. Thanks for having me, Doug.

Thanks for bringing the energy. You know I always say, it's my calling card. I'm also a shows guy, but I do like movies as well. Yeah, I think you've done okay in the past. I've almost won so many times. You really, you're always on the cusp. I am. That's... Doesn't sound right, but it's one way to describe it. I'm on the cusp. Well, I probably had something I wanted to ask you, Johnny. Let's see what I wrote down here Is this your third time on the show? This is

Yes, it is my third time Sometimes I get the answers right To my guess but as you know, we play several movie movie trivia games that are probably a difficulty level of just stupidly easy to insanely hard with the emphasis on insanely hard and we never know what you're gonna get but before we play those games let me just ask each of you as I do every show to recommend a motion picture that you think people might enjoy because I do want people, especially if it's in the theaters, but if it's at home that's okay too because watching a movie counts no matter how you do it, even if it's on your fucking watch or something.

It still counts somewhere, so it's always good. The numbers are always good. It still counts somewhere, so it's always good. The numbers are always good. But please, if you can, go to a cinema, see a movie, and help. Because your Deadpools and your Inside Out, they're just going to make all the money. And so theaters have to stay open because of those. So hopefully, if people are attending

some of the other things, you know, then they'll want to make more of those things. Okay. That's it for that sermon. Blair, what do you got? Thank you for asking, Doug. I'd actually like to recommend Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. First time I've ever recommended a non-animated movie on this podcast. You're really branching out. I know.

There's nothing cartoonish at all about Ghostbusters Frozen Empire. I just thought it was really fun, really imaginative. I thought it was the best Ghostbusters of the last several. I just had a was really fun, really imaginative. I thought it was like the best Ghostbusters of the last several. I just had a great time watching it. I was high as hell, so I can't be sure. But I know I had a really fun time,

and I hope other people can share in that fun with me. Mm-hmm. Yeah! That's good. Very nice. That's probably streaming somewhere, right? Uh, yeah. You don't need to know where it's streaming.

I think it's on Netflix. Netflix? Maybe. Sorry about that. It's not one of them's. Don't be sorry about it. They're all out there. They're going to eventually glom down to like, there'll only be one or two of them. And, um, it'll be sad. OK, so Jesse, what do you got for us?

What would you like to recommend? Well, I got to say, as soon as you guys leave here tonight, you got to go home and watch Hard Target, the Jean-Claude Van Damme picture. Jean-Claude Van Damme, Wilford Brimley, Lance Hendrickson. Lance Hendrickson, remember the guy? He was a scary robot, but he was also nice. Yeah, of course.

Wilfred Brimley, oatmeal, diabetes, all that stuff. Jean Claude Van Damme, he's kicking everyone in that movie. He's kicking everyone. And they don't even have a backstory for it. Even the parking meters. Yes. At one point he displays his leg as if it were like a samurai sword

to the guys he's about to kick. And then sure enough, he kicks them. He kicks all of them. He's trying not to get kicked by that guy. Good luck, buddy. Oh, I'm gonna jump up on top of the car. He's not gonna kick me up there. Guess again. He's 100% kicking you.

I just like the idea of him pulling up his pant leg and it making that sword sound like shee-hoo. Shee-hoo. Because swords always make noise when they pull them out of there. I don't think they make those noises in person. I think that's added later. All right, Hard Target or as it's known by the French, Hard Target. It's a very French movie.

Takes place in New Orleans. Yes, absolutely. They're all Cajun. Wilford Brimley has a Cajun accent sometimes. All right. Interesting. Just really two moods for two movies for two moods. People really have options between Hard Target and Ghostbusters, Frozen Empire. But Johnny, what have you got? I got a scramble cuz Jesse took mine.

Really racking my brain. Above the law was really good. I don't know if you guys saw that one. This was controversial but I really loved long legs. I don't know Doug did guys saw that one. This was controversial, but I really loved long legs. I don't know, Doug, did you get to see long legs? Oh, long legs. I liked it. I thought it was fun. A lot of my friends hated it. And I got to say, fuck those people.

I just have gotten to a point where I think when anybody raves about a horror movie, that to me means I'm either gonna love it or I'm gonna hate it, but that also lots of other people are gonna, it just seems like people go really hard on what they love in horror and what they, and then when they hate something in horror. It's like people who are into horror do not want to be disappointed. Right. And they also really stand by the things they like also horror fans are insufferable people so it's I like that Johnny just says something. I'm trying to say with about

a tenth of the words Just cut right to it. No, well they do have their, I like horror movies, but like when somebody says to me, oh this one's great, it's a real slow burn, I'm like, take your fucking slow burn. Right, right. I've seen that one. And call me when it's about to actually ignite. Call me when it's about to hit the dynamite.

I don't need the whole fuse. But Long Legs is an interesting one because I just heard such kind of rumblings to the effect that it could be a slow burn. But then I saw it, and I didn't think it was boring at all. Or slow. I thought there was always something going on. There's always interesting dialogue or or Nicolas Cage. Right. Everybody's really got Nicolas Cage going on. But you know, Nicolas

Cage is another great example of like even the biggest Nicolas Cage fan probably has some of his that they just hate because he does he says yes to the widest array of things possible. So how could you enjoy all of it? Yeah, you're not going to. There's got to be stuff you don't like. But back to long legs, ultimately, I

do not give a recommendation myself. But I do find it interesting that a guest on this show, since it came out, pretty much much every episode one of the guests Has mentioned long legs Wow, so it's getting people talking. I was gonna go maybe mark for death No, I like a genuine recommendation because if you give a jokey one then like everyone just sort of laughs it off and they You know, they don't take it seriously, but if you really give a full-throated I love this, you know recommendation Then you get people really mad at you if they don't like it Yeah, so alright, so let me write those down we got

Johnny says longs and then Hard Target from Yeah, that's a real one too. I really did like it. Really enjoyed it. I know Jesse. He does love Hard Target. He does. Only watch Hard Target if you think

you're going to like Hard Target is my advice when it comes to Hard Target. And then the whole Jean-Claude Van Damme catalog. That's the great thing about him is that none of his movies are great, but they're all fun to watch. There's no varying in quality, really. You're just like, I'm going to watch a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie, and you're not ever in it going, wait, what is this?

There's two Jean-Claude Van Dammes? What the hell? What's this accent he's using now? I mean, even Swartz Dangle will throw you for a loop and get fucking pregnant or something. All right, fantastic recommendations. We're going to pick some name tags out of the audience for my guests to play on behalf of.

So what we came up with is Blair is playing for the big love Al ski Good job Al and friends Jesse's playing for Brandon to be a menace here, etc Well drinking the juice and then Johnny is playing for, worked out perfectly, there's a lady named T-Rex. And so he's playing for Tammy and the T-Rex.

Yeah, wow. Good job. Good job, Tammy. All right, so. Just keep saying to yourselves, everybody involved, the prizes aren't that great or valuable. It's all just for fun. And now I have to, I finally have to break down, I've been wearing my shades the whole time, but I gotta break down and put on my reading glasses now

because I can't fuck this up. This is serious. The first game we're gonna play today is something that I call How Long Is It? Whoo! How Long Is It is a game where I'll tell you a thing and then you each guess how long it is. Closest without going over. Price is Right style will be the winner of this game.

It's something of a warm up game. And obviously, you might just make a guess that turns out to be a lucky one. I feel like I'm actually going to be good at this one. All right, well that's good because we're going to get your bid first, Blair. You're going to tell me what you think it is. And then Jesse and then Johnny. And like I said, closest without going over Price's right style.

How long is it? Reestablishing the premise of the game. How long is it? The distance between Sunnyvale where we are right now and the birthplace of Tom Hanks. In Miles don't say where he was born in case they don't happen to know. A lot of us know, a lot of us are so into hanks. We, you know, we, we Hank the Lord every day for all the hanks givings that we've been blessed with. Blair, how far and miles do you think it is between Sunnyvale, Cupertino adjacent to the birthplace of Tom Hanks? Well, I haven't the slightest clue at the location that he was born.

So I am. Let me help you narrow it down. Because do you think he was born like in Guatemala? Maybe. Maybe. You know what I mean? There's lots of places you can rule out. Guatemala didn't quite cross my mind.

Time store for Tomas. I was going to, I don't know, my mind went to like Washington state or something. OK. So what are your good mileage is from here to Washington State? I'm not sold on Washington State. I'm just gonna go with 116 miles. I'm gonna go with 116 miles to an unknown location that only God knows. Sorry, Big Lebowski.

Sorry, Big Lebowski. Jesse, what do you think? I think it was close by. I think I'm going to do maybe the prices right. I'm going to say it was 38 miles. People are impressed. Yeah. Sh. Uh oh. People are impressed. Yeah. Shows, baby. That was good for me so far.

Johnny, is this something you happen to know, the birthplace of Tom Hanks, or are you just going to have to guess? I'm gonna play a process of elimination here. Okay. Here's the thing. I'm from Sacramento, California. Tom Hanks went to college at Sac State.

Oh. He's a horn that stingers up. He died in Philadelphia. Uh. So. And he ran across the country four times. He was probably just tired when he got to Philly. I think he was nearby. I'm he got to Philly. I think he was nearby.

I'm going to go with 40. That dude's been in his space. That guy. I know. Where hasn't he been? Jesus. I'm like, Washington State maybe, you know, so. Good guess.

That's probably at least 120 miles. I don't know. I'm going to go with 46 miles. 46 miles? 46 or 426? Whoa, baby. 46, but 426 represent. I don't know what area code that is, but I'm sure it's cool. Sounds sick.

I've got hoes and I'm not sure exactly which area codes. Two, four, six? Four, eight, nine. OK. This is terribly exciting. I appreciate all of you humoring me and guessing. Because it turns out Tom Hanks isn't real. No.

Laughter. Gotcha with a trick question. Laughter. No. Laughter. The correct answer is 54 miles. No, Johnny. Excellent, Johnny. I got very close. He was born on a Concord. Oh yeah.

That's why he became Sully. He's born in Concord, California and so you all did a good job of piecing together that it wasn't 116 miles. But also, it's a good guess in terms of, yeah, you had thousands of miles to play with here. And who didn't, you know. Good intuition. I'd imagine most people. Almost exactly half.

Most people tell me, hey, learn that Tom Hanks is from Concord. I don't think it's something people ever think about. Definitely not me, no. Let's move on. Congratulations for winning that one, Johnny. Yeah. That's funny.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That means you get to go first. That's all you win so far. It's just the opportunity to go first in our next game, which is something that I call ABCD's Nuts! Now, in this game, nobody sees any nuts. It's just a silly title, so relax. It's just stupid and I don't know where it came from,

but it stuck. So it's a spelling game. It's a serious spelling game. This is where I will tell you what the word is and then the three of you take turns naming movies to begin with each letter that comes up next in that word until we've quote unquote spelled that word. Now I've written down answers, a movie, for each letter so if you happen to match the movie that I wrote down, you win the whole game right there.

If nobody matches, we move on to the next game and pretend this didn't happen. And it's like I was psychic about this because, oh, and there's a theme also. So that might help you to answer. In Johnny's case, he's just got the first letter. And he hasn't heard any of them yet. So he's just going to have to take a real stab in the dark. Oh, god. Yeah.

What did I win? All right. All right. All right. All right. All right. Yeah, it's not really an advantage. But we'll see, we'll see how it works out. And the word, since it's, I assumed it would come up and then it did, is we're going to

spell long legs. Long legs. So Johnny, first letter L, name any movie that begins with L. If you match the one I've written down, you win. I'm going to go with Lady Bird. Wow. That is really a terrific guess. Favorite movie of mine. I like it quite a bit. But what I wrote down is Looney Tunes, Back in Action.

Damn. Right on the cusp again. Um. I mean, they're both, both of those movies are funny. Both shot in Sacramento. A lot of people don't know that about Looney Tunes. Back in action. The next letter is O and we go to Jesse. Any movie that begins with O, which is a tough

letter because there's not a lot of movies that begin with O. Passanger 57? Passanger 57? Sorry. Wesley Snipes, is that? I think you got a shot, Jess. What is happening? I panicked. No, that's a good guess. I panicked.

I couldn't think of one. You just need a movie that begins with the letter O. Orange, The Clockwork. Passanger 57 doesn't count. Orange Clockwork, Orange Clockwork, the scary one. It needs to be the first word. Good Eyeball Guys, scary eyeball movie. It can't just be one of the words in the title.

It has to be the first word. Any movie. That's a lot of guesses, right? Even if you say. Well, they're not guesses. I said nothing on the first three. I'm not just playing for myself anymore. Jesse just say Hard Target and get an Overwear.

Silent O at the beginning in the Bulgarian release. It actually has an O shaped, which counts. Just any movie. Oklahoma the Movie, the musical. Is that, did they make a movie of that? Sick, okay. They weren't saying the movie at the end of the, like that, back then.

It was just Oklahoma, probably an exclamation point. Now we're guessing what the last thing is. That was your fourth try though. I mean the great thing about the letter O is you can just say O and stop and you're naming a movie that begins with the letter O, that updating of Othello with Mekhi Pfeiffer. Okay. Here's what I wrote down for O and you again very close Jesse. I wrote down Augie and the cockroaches.

That doesn't sound real. It's a classic depiction of Augies and cockroaches. Okay. If you don't know it that's on you okay the next letter Blair any movie begins with the letter N no country for all I mean you get speed points for that that's for damn damn sure you got right to it But the movie that I wrote down is one called naked lunch sure Yeah, it's fucked up that Naked lunch okay L is the next letter back to you Johnny or pardon me gee you're right, thank you.

Got anything for L, Johnny? G. G. G. G. I'm gonna go with G, the Angel Angel Lee pic. All right. I can see where you might think that that has something

in common with Looney Tunes, Argy and the Cockroaches, and Naked Lunch. But I wrote down Godzilla versus Megalon. Okay. That hurt way better. Fuck, I was close. I know, it's Gia was just her. There was no other monster.

She's cool. L is the next. Here we go, L. Second letter's got to be a vowel. You can't say Lassenger 57. Well, that was a good movie, though. Always bet on black, you know. Oh, Land Before Time. Yes!

That's a rare. For a long time I thought that was a dream that I had as a kid. I didn't know it was a real movie until I was in my twenties. I like that movie. It was so good. You're not thinking of Land of the Lost are you? No, the cartoon would die. Either of you, I'm asking. I'm definitely not. Okay just checking. Yeah. Sweet dinosaur movie right? This is the closest one. I was fucking around with some of those other ones but this one is the closest I think just in vibe In the vibe area because you said

land of the lost Land of the Giants and and I said labyrinth Yeah, those movies are hella similar yeah It's the closest. Does it mean that they're that close? Uh... Uh... Um... I feel like whatever I say I'm going to be making it up. Um... Make it a real one. E...

E... What letter comes after E? EF, the movie. Yes. Um, ever. Oh, ever. Ever. F? F? Ever. Ever. Yeah?

Ever. Ever. It's like trying to teach a toddler to speak. Well. Ever. Ever after? Ever after? Ever after?

Ever after? Do you care more? Yeah, okay. Ever after. Okay, ever after. Let me just check. Nope, no match. Really?

Yeah, it, no match. Really? Yeah, it didn't match. But that is a real movie, right? Sure. Oh, thank God. I wrote down Eight-Legged Freaks. Oh, nice, yeah, yeah. I have, are these, I have never heard

of one of these movies that you have said. You've never heard of Labyrinth? No, I've heard of Labyrinth. I don't know what, even close to what it is. You've never heard of two of these movies? Yeah. Yeah, so that's the, you just never know what you're gonna get with these tricky ass games. G is the next letter back to Johnny. I'm gonna go with Gremlins.

Oh. Ooh. That's really good. That's really good. Let her back to Johnny. I'm gonna go with Gremlins. Oh! That's really good. That's really good. I wish I went with Godzilla versus Mothra. Laughter Damn you Benson. Alright, so this is your big chance Jesse. The last letter is S and do you want to

hear all the other titles? Would that help you? Yes, I think that would help actually. Okay. I can have some. Looney Tunes back in action, Augie and the Cockroaches, Naked Lunch, Godzilla vs. Megalon, Labyrinth, Eight-Leggged freaks, Godzilla versus Mothra, and final movie that begins with S? Just say it. Sames and the Cyan Peach. Why? Well, why do you always have to take a movie that doesn't begin with the letter

and then put that at the beginning. Is that the different? Are you playing a different game? It has to be the same letter? It has to be... Well... I thought he was going to go with sharp target. It has to be the same letter. I have a guess.

Okay. Saw 2. Okay. Saw 2 even more saw. The listeners didn't see the confidence. Saw 2 a slightly different saw. Saw 2 of course. A different saw. Well, I'm sorry about that, what I was doing. I should have just said saw 2.

Well, I was hoping somebody would figure out my little trickery here by the end. What's your next guess, Blair? Shrek. Clearly. Shrek, Shrek 2, Shrek after ever, Shrek the 3. Do I get a point for that? I'm trying to win them this KFC shirt that they can share. If you want that, you can just have the KFC.

No, I want to give it to my family. They want you to have it at this point I think. I think they want you to have it. But anyway, all of those movies that I said they all have, some are small, some are big, some are a famous animated character, but they all feature bugs. Looney Tunes back in action, get it? Bugs. Oh.

And S is for Spiderman. It's so obvious now. Another fun S would be Starship Troopers. If you're doing bugs. Okay, so congratulations, Johnny. You get to go first in our final game because nobody won that game. Yeah. I think the audience won that game.

They had a really fun time. And we're going to play that game after these messages. We're back! We are back. Such an exciting game today. Hahaha. Hahaha. Blair Sake has been formidable. Johnny Taylor has been an absolute threat to everyone. Threat.

And Jesse Het is here. Hahaha. Bronze medal, baby. Yeah. He's here thinking about what shows he's going to watch tonight. Get your head in the game, Jesse. All right. This last game. Oh, here we hear some beverages.

Yay. Let's hear it for the wait staffaff here at Rooster Tea Feathers. Thank you so much. Great waitstaff here and of course the T in Rooster Tea Feathers stands for Tired. Tired store. Okay so, I got one last game for the three of you to play. All right. It's anybody's game.

Johnny gets to go first again. I'm stuck. But we're going to switch the order around. He's going to come back the other way. So he's going to go Johnny, Jesse, Blair. And the game we're gonna switch the order around. It's gonna come back the other way. So it's gonna go Johnny, Jesse, Blair. And the game we're gonna play. That was the order. That was?

That's the sound. Yeah. That's the sound. Who goes older? Who goes older? I thought it was Blair. No. All right, so it's going to go the other way.

So they'll go Johnny, Blair, and then Jesse. All right. And we're going to play the Little Search Engine That Could. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

Woo! Woo! Today, amongst other activities here in the beautiful Sunnyvale area, I typed into the search engine on IMDB one word, and then I wrote down the ten movies that have that word in the title, that are the top ten according to the algorithm on the Internet Movie Database. So we'll start with Johnny. Johnny, I will tell you the word in a minute, but Johnny will take that word, apply it to a title, pick a title that has that word, apply it to a title, pick a title that has that whole word in it.

And then I will tell you if it landed in the top 10. And if it did, then where it landed will determine how many points you get. Number one is worth 10 points, and number 10's worth one point. Who was it? Could I? We have a question. Does the word have to be altogether,

or can it just be all the letters in different kind of places? It's a good question. It's a good question if you thought that I was going to try to make it harder than already incredibly hard You thought I wanted to really take it up some notches No, it just has to just be looking for the word. It'll be a little bit more obvious Once you hear what the word is will it?

I think so, but like I said, you're going to take turns guessing So if you think think of one, you know going to take turns guessing, so if you think of one, hang on to it until it's your turn. And like I said, Johnny's going to go first, but there's going to be three times you get to name a movie and then we'll add up all the points at the end. And there is a lifeline. If at any point you want to turn to the person you're playing for and ask them to help you out with a title, they can pitch in one time.

Okay. At any point during the process. I don't know why I looked at Blair like she really needed to have that piece of information. At any point, Blair. Thank you. Okay. The word. I wanted to do Rooster so bad because because I just love being a rooster, teeth, feathers and but I can only I as far as I know there's like one movie with the word rooster in the title so I had to pivot but I went with... Godzilla versus the rooster. That's the one. So it said Johnny I need you to give me a movie

that you think will be on this list with the word chicken in it. Okay I'm gonna go movies with the word chicken in the title, not broken up. White chicks is not gonna come up. Ken and Barbie, I don't know if there's a movie with Ken in the title, but you know what I mean. It's just, it's chicken, the whole word chicken. Okay, so- What do you got?

Thanks for telling me about the white chicks thing, Jesus. That was the tip of my tongue. Chicken Run. Chicken Run. Let me just take a look here. Number one on the list. Number one. 10 points for Johnny.

It's a big start, but it doesn't mean it's over. start but it doesn't mean it's over. No, it doesn't mean anything really. Anyone can catch up. Sorry Johnny. Blair, what's another movie that you think will do well? I've never felt more pressure in my life but I don't even know if I'm fully making this up or not. I don't mind a made up title in this thing. Is Chicken Little a movie?

Hang on. Don't go. Don't go. Hang on. Hang on. Please don't ask the audience if something's a movie or not. But that's my answer. But just say it.

Just say it. Just go for it. OK. Chicken Little. Is in fact a movie. Just say it, just go for it. Okay, Chicken Little. Is in fact a movie. Let's see where it landed on the list. Number two on the list. Oh, damn.

Just tear it down. Nine points for Blair. I can't think of one more. As this game gets. All right, all right. So now, moving forward, you might wanna guess, just make up a phrase that has the word chicken in it. Maybe it was a title. These aren't all hugely known motion

pictures, but also audience, please don't indicate that they're on to something. If they are. Okay. So Jesse, what do you think? Alright, I got it. It's Chicken Little Two. Now the chicken's big. It's a revenge movie. It's the sequel. He's getting his vengeance. I love that one. Honey, I blew up the chicken. That chicken got hella big. I don't know if you guys saw it. See, now, if that had been an actual movie,

and you just guessed like that, that would have been so impressive that you got it right. But it's not, so you didn't get any points for that. Good. Good try, James. Effort points through the roof. That was a lot of ingenuity. That really was.

That was exciting. I thought you might be on to something. But we're back to Johnny. I'm going to go with Chicken Run 2. That chicken got hella fast. Hey! Now you know I want exact titles and I don't see those words you just said on this piece of paper but again just a beautiful gorgeous guess. Blair how are you feeling?

Uh, worried. Well, let's discuss your options. You could ask your friends at the front table, the big Lebowski's, you could ask them to toss out a chicken title. Yeah. Or you could wait and hold off until the third round to do that. Yeah, and it doesn't have to start with chicken, it could just have chicken in it. Just chicken in it.

Yeah, so it's not vegan, whatever. Right. Whatever the title is, it's got chicken in it. Chicken, no, no, fried chicken. Yeah, that's a good one. I like it. Yeah. Fried chicken.

There could totally be a movie called Fried Chicken. There totally could be. It could totally happen. And I look forward to it happening someday. But that day has not yet come. I should have gone with Chicken Fried Rice. If it's what? I'd rather go on the chicken fried rice. What? That's... It's like you just ordered food and

regretting your choice. As the server walks away. Okay. Back to Jesse. Same advice I gave Blair. You can talk to your Brandon. Or you could take another fun guess. Just a title.

I'm going to reach for my lifeline here. I want to see. Brandon is, of course, a genius. Mm-hmm. He's very good at this. And he just said out loud, Chicken Run. Mm-hmm. Dawn of the Nugget.

This is how good he is at it. He didn't even say the two. He knew that it was a sequel with no number in the title. But also, I wish someone could explain to me what the pun is in saying Dawn of the Nugget. Well. Because it's not like the word, it's like the word night. It's kind of like nugget, but that would be Dawn of the Night.

Like what if they. It's spelled D-O-N and it's like a mafia movie. Dawn. Dawn. Yeah. Look at the chickens. There. Don. You got the chickens there. Yeah. It is.

That's actually Godfather 4. If you want, know that. It's a real movie. It's a real movie that I'll see. All right, well, I'll give you a little side point for that. Oh, side point? In the meantime, what's your next, oh, you got that point? Yeah, Chinoise too though

You got that Let's see where it is on the list, because I definitely saw it today because I knew there was no two in the title It is number three on the list! Oh, yeah! Brandon, baby Holy shit, we got ourselves a game This is uh.

Johnny has 10, Jesse has eight, and Blair has nine, and Johnny is up first. The pressure is the best right now. Did you think of anything good Johnny, or do you wanna go to the uh. I'm gonna, I'm gonna go to Tammy the T-Rex. Tammy, Tammy. And from the looks of her face,

she doesn't have Jack and shit. I'm forming. My guess was gonna be Why did the chicken cross the road? That's good. Why did the chicken cross the road? That's a long fucking name. Can't even fit that shit on the marquee. What are you talking about? Jesus, Tammy.

Okay. Jesus and the Tammy. I'd watch that. That's definitely not there. So I'm gonna go with... I think that's why you got to go to the Lifeline early in this game. Can I not go with that? No, yeah, yeah. No, I'm fine with not accepting that. OK, thank you. You get to vet the answer and then bring it. Whenever somebody's like this and they're telling you it's not the one, this is a long shot. I'm going to go with the chicken.

It's so smart. I like the way you play. Fuck. Yeah. There's no movie on this list. Oh, The Chicken. I totally thought that was a movie. It seemed, in my heart, it seemed right.

Yeah. It felt right. It was really, that was a good good play and I'm sorry it didn't work out for you But you're still in the lead with ten points player needs to come up with one to tie or you know more than one to take the lead Yeah, she already talked to the the gals keys. No, I didn't Well, you saved them for this time? Yeah. Alright. And I don't know if they have anything.

And I will be cashing in now on the Big Lebowski's Lifeline. And it's fun, the whole table's discussing that. Winner winner chicken dinner. Oh winner winner chicken dinner, do you like that? That's always fun. Go with that one, Blair. I like that guess. Take it, Blair.

I like it. I like it too, but unfortunately I do not feel it is a movie. Um... Uh... Uh... Chicken dog. Oh. Yes! Yes!

Let me check the list. That's really good. Definitely a real one. That's a Van Damme flick, isn't it? I'm sorry, Blair. There's no chicken dog. There isn't? No. Wow.

Chicken dog. There isn't? No. Wow. Chicken dog. There's a cartoon dog and chicken. No, dog and cat. Yeah, you know how people always name dogs and cats chicken, ironically? Yeah. You don't know that? There's people in the audience that don't think that happens, Blair. Oh, oh really?

Say that to my best friend Rosebud's dead cat named Chicken. Okay, so... Say that to my friend Chicken's dead cat Rosebud. Damn dude. RIP Chicken. Yeah. She was more of a dog person. It's fine.

She's over it. Yeah. Jesse had a little extra time to think there. I think I got one. Did you ever go to your lifeline? I did, yeah. Oh, you did? Remember Don of the Chicken Nuggets?

Oh, right. Oh, yeah, that's why you're on the board. Yeah. At any point, that lifeline really saved me. Yeah, that's why you're like, you're so close to surpassing Johnny. I almost got him. Chickensure 57's still on the board, Chester. I almost got him. All right, do movies that are in pre-production count,

or do they have to be something that's out? What? What are you producing, a movie? Did you get an idea for a movie? Well, I... Listen, we're in pre-pro, but I have this movie. Did you think of a movie? Did you have an idea for a movie? I, I, Jesse thinks- Listen, we're in pre-pro, but I have this movie.

I have this movie Chicken Face that I thought of long before this moment. Jesse thinks all rules are interpretive. Yeah. Yeah. We should see him dance. That's incredible. That's true. What about Spring Chickens?

Oh! That's a good guess. It's an elder rom-com. Too much old actors. Yes. Clint Eastwood and Jane Fonda. Jane Fonda's definitely in that. Yeah.

That's good. If that's not a movie, I'm copper writing that movie right now. Hollywood, if you're listening, I'm writing a letter to myself. I'm stamping in dating news. It's actually Godfather 5. I'm copper writing that movie right now. Hollywood, if you're listening, I'm writing a letter to myself. I'm stamping in dating rings. That's actually Godfather 5. People don't know that. I'm sorry, but that is not that in the book. I thought that was going to be one.

But I'm proud of the three of you for collectively, along with audience members, coming up with the top three movies on the list. Yeah. Pretty good. Yeah. Johnny just got to Chicken Run first because I'm sure everybody probably thought of it, but let's see what other chicken movies were on the list. It's called Kentucky Fried Movie.

Yeah, classic. And it's also shut the fuck up that's a good guess that's a good guess I always worry that the listeners are hearing like they don't hear his half of the conversation so I'm just like talking to myself but yeah I did I thought of that too, the Kentucky Fried movie, because it's so close to having chicken in it. But number 10 is a movie from 2016 called Chicken People. What?

Yeah, exactly. Number nine, Poultry Geist. That doesn't have the word chicken. Exactly. Come on. Number nine, Poultry Geist. Oh, yeah. Oh. That doesn't have the word chicken. Night of the Chicken Dead. No. No.

I didn't know that. The cold. Which I love Ardment animation or whatever, but The Dawn of the Nugget is nowhere near as good as Night of the Chicken Dead. That is a good one. And they already had poultry guys. They didn't even need to, you know, put any more on it.

They didn't need to gild that lily, but they still went for it. Certainly doesn't fit well in a marquee. Number eight is a movie that I'm genuinely recommending to anyone who doesn't mind seeing very violent fights between men who are, it's very likely that they're part chicken. Like can you imagine if a chicken could really pick up something heavy and throw it at somebody? A chicken would fucking do that. Yeah, absolutely. You know, I think chickens, the only reason they're not fighting us day and night is because they're little.

Right. Well- This is a real movie. This is a real movie starring Mads Mikkelsen as one of the chicken men. And it's called Men and Chicken. I recommend it. Highly. and chicken. I recommend it, highly. This next one I've never heard of, Chicken for Plums.

These people are sick. That's some Christmas bullshit. I should have got that one. Like a Christmas movie, I think, from 2011. Number six is one of the ones I thought of right away when I was devising this silly game. And it's a great Don Knotts movie called The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. Oh! Yeah.

Is that a cartoon? Brandon knew it. Nope. Live action as fuck. You know, Don Knotts was always really nervous, played nervous characters. So him and a ghost, of course everyone's gonna call him Mr. Chicken. Right, of course. Because he like shakes like a leaf when he thinks about ghosts. Okay, and then... Don't get him started about going into space.

He was in that, that was called the reluctant astronaut. Chicken. Reluctant astronaut chicken. Reluctant astronaut colon. Mr. Chicken. Misseston astronaut chicken. Elukton astronaut colon. Mr. Chicken. He misses his chicken. Yeah. That's why he didn't want to go into space

is because he loves his chicken. Okay, this one's going to make you really mad. This one is from 2023. Very recent. I'm furious. But it's called Chicken for Linda. Oh yeah, of course. With an exclamation point. Like, chicken for Linda. Oh yeah, of course. With an exclamation point.

Like, Chicken for Linda! Chicken for Linda! And I know you won anyway, Johnny, but you were so close, so close when you said The Chicken because there's a movie from 2015 called Chicken. Aww. But Johnny is still our winner today! Finally. I finally broke through. Come and get your prizes, Tammy. T-Rex baby. T-Rex, T-Rex, T-Rex. T-Rex, T-Rex, T-Rex. And don't forget that Blair's in the market for a KFC shirt. That shirt is pretty sick. It's cool.

You like it? Yeah. I was like, I'm not going to wear this. Mostly because it'd be too tight on me. Johnny, since you won today, you get to do your plugs first. Promote yourself. OK, that's awesome. Thanks so much, Doug.
