My name is Doug and I love movies
This is How I Love Movies.
Coming to you once again from the Gramercy Theater in New York City.
It's Sunday, November 29th, 2015.
Let me NYC your name tags.
People of the Gramercy.
Wow, there's a cluster of people who got right up front and didn't bring name tags.
It's really an interesting maneuver.
We've got to get there early because it's more important for other people to be up front.
But thank you for getting here early if that's how you did it.
Lots of great name tags.
We've got a poster for The Guest.
It's like art that you made for the movie The Guest.
Did you do that because you know I'm a fan of that film?
Yeah?
And you liked it too?
Yeah, what's your name though?
Mike.
Okay, you wrote it there in the corner. Yeah, like signed
it because it's a painting. You're on your way to being a real artist, Mike. And is that supposed
to be the guy's dick? No, he's holding a gun. Okay, looks like a dick. What's Yoda doing over there?
It's a crazy ass Yoda puppet. Or the way you're holding it, it just looks like he is just about to die.
He is just like, oi, oi, oi.
And why is it, what is your name?
Jen.
Oh, return of the Jen eye.
I love it.
Oh, my God.
There's too many to talk about, but I see a big O with those donuts taped to it.
Okay.
Yes.
Donuts.
Yes.
Oh, I like that Silence of the Lambs one with my face with the butterfly over my mouth.
What's it say?
Silence of the Dans.
That's a really good one.
But I also like Janadu with my face over...
My face over Olivia Newton-John.
And where's the...
Oh, right here, we got some knitted donuts
from our friend Kathleen.
Katie.
Damn it.
So close.
Can you toss one of those up here to me?
No, to me.
Can you toss one of those up here to me?
No, to me.
That is exactly... I'm not surprised at all about how this feels.
She knitted some donuts.
Yeah.
And she wrote to me on Twitter today
and said that we could throw these at you guys.
So now it's like we're taking it up a notch
and throwing, like, beanbags at people.
I don't know how violent this is going to get,
but take it back for now.
We'll see if you get chosen by one of the guests,
because the guests are around the corner.
They can't see what's going on out here.
Thank you to everybody who brought those marvelous name tags.
Doug's Plugs, tomorrow night's sold out 12 Guests of Christmas East
Coast edition. Who's coming to that? Right on.
That's going to be available on iTunes and DougLowsMovies.com
in about a week for two bucks. So the people who
got tickets to that show are going to be the only ones that hear it tomorrow.
I mean, that would always be the case.
But then it takes, for some
reason, the iTunes, it takes like a week to put
it out. Maybe we'll put it out earlier on
douglovesmovies.com. This Thursday
I'm doing a stand-up at Good Nights in Raleigh,
North Carolina. Bring your name
tags, yo! And Sunday,
Doug Loves Movies
returns to Portland, Oregon
at Helium Comedy Club.
It's a gas.
From the corrections department,
Scarlett Johansson was not in Zodiac or Iron Man 3.
Congrats on sneaking that shit past me,
T.J. Miller and Mark Wahlberg.
I was like, yeah, she could have,
yeah, she could have been in Zodiac.
DJ was even doing an impression of something
he says she did in Zodiac.
And it wasn't even her.
Well played,
I say. Let's look in the prize
bag, you guys.
I'm temporarily
homeless, so
I just have, you know,
I don't have a lot of room in my bags for stuff other than all of my shit.
So my items are small, but there's some great items coming from the rest of the guests.
Like, for instance, a Sharpie.
Somebody, like, misheard that.
He's giving away a dog?
No, not a Sharpie.
It's a
Sharpie marker. One of these house at the end of the street, slappy things. I'm
still, these pack nicely. You could stack about 20 of them in your bag and they
travel nice. Of course the Doug Loves Movies t-shirt. Had to bring one of those.
These are some pretty cool small items. I'll start with the least cool and work my way up.
A schmovie button.
Now, I'm not giving away schmovies on the show anymore,
but there's a schmovie button.
I'd say, no, it's sad.
You're going to have to go buy one.
This is a Wallace and Gromit button.
Yeah, who doesn't like Wallace and Gromit?
And this is fun.
A guitar pick that I got from apparently a band called Weezer.
I think I got that on the Weezer cruise.
And, oh, look, and a Douglas Movies sticker.
And finally, I love wooing for a sticker.
What is this?
A triple album? Yeah, the triple album
Chronicles
of Fetterman. It's Wayne Fetterman's
album. Yeah, and he's
brought up
here and started a comedy on the
East Coast, so it's appropriate
for this show. As are
my guests, all East Coasters currently,
please give a big warm welcome to Sam Roberts,
Ron Bennington, Esther Koo, and Jim Norton. Is it Esther?
Great job, audience. I don't know what you're yelling out, but you know I don't like that sort of thing.
What are you trying to yell out?
Sammy Brand Muffins.
You see why I don't like people yelling stuff like that out?
Because it yielded nothing.
It got us nowhere.
No, that's cool.
I'm glad that people have these things that they get yelled out at them.
And I'd like people to stop yelling out at me.
I get out the car window,
Super Jaime!
And then, you know,
all these anti-Semites look around
because they think a Jew is walking down the street named Jaime.
Let's meet my guests.
We've got two newbies and two oldbies.
And let's just go down the line starting on the opposite end.
You know him from the Opie and Jimmy program on SiriusXM.
Let's hear it for Jim Norton, everybody.
Thank you. program on SiriusXM. Let's hear it for Jim Norton, everybody.
Thank you.
They love you, man.
Thank you. I'm always filled with shame when people clap for me.
Keep it up, you guys.
It's a good way to just get them all to clap for you
because they just want to see that shame face.
Yeah, I don't think I deserve it.
Thank you for doing the show.
It's your first time on the program.
I should say everybody on stage tonight
is sort of my friends from my experiences
over on Opie's network over there on SiriusXM,
the Opie channel.
And he couldn't be here tonight because he's got family bullshit that he has to do.
Yeah, right.
Right?
On Thanksgiving weekend.
He doesn't do podcasts.
What's that?
He doesn't do podcasts.
He'd come on here.
He'd totally do it.
Oh, yeah?
He just had family shit. It's a long Thanksgiving weekend. My bad. We're He'd come on here. He'd totally do it. Oh, yeah? He just had family shit.
It's a long Thanksgiving weekend.
My bad.
We're lucky these people are here.
I talked to him today.
I'm like, what are you doing?
He's like, nothing.
Just texting, Jimmy.
Tweeting, tweeting.
He pops up in a tweet.
I think when he's with his family, he tweets.
I think you see those quite frequently when he's with his family he tweets. I think that's, you see those quite frequently when he's
you know, watching his kids play video games
and stuff. Esther Ku
is here everybody.
Esther!
Flew up
from Miami, so thank
you for doing that
because that's quite a weather shift you had to
endure. It's fucking freezing up here. Yeah, it's super cold here.
And we appreciate the sacrifice. And you've got a show
tomorrow night here in Manhattan. I have a show at Stand Up New York
tomorrow. Uh-huh. And then Havana Grill in the Bronx.
Both of those are tomorrow night? Yep. You guys are crazy with your
multiple shows here. When this show's over, I'm going to be so happy to be done with show business for the night
I'm just going to kick it
With holding a
What is that in your hand sir?
Are you going to smoke that thing?
No I'm not
You just hold it all the time?
Yes I just hold on to it because they're tobacco laws
So you just want to have it nearby.
Well, I also have a contact high from being in your restroom a couple minutes ago.
This is Ron Bennington, by the way.
Thank you.
I was just over Opie's house, left, and about a few seconds later.
Yeah, he's got to stay there and clean up.
Yeah, he had people over.
The host of the Bennington
program. Yes, it is. Which I've appeared
on a couple times and always have a blast
when I'm on there. And your first time
on this show. My first time here.
But you've heard the program.
I have heard the program. I don't
understand it.
I know something happens about movies that's confusing.
We'll play some games, and I'll talk you through them.
But, you know, let's meet our fourth guest and see what he thinks about this.
Prime time, Sam Roberts.
Or as I like to call him
Sam Robots
or Sammy Branmuth
because he's probably
more obsessed with robots
than I am and I'm pretty obsessed with them
especially their depiction in film
and
how do you feel about, this is your second time
on the program, did you understand everything
when you were on before?
Except for why food was being thrown
at the audience. Like, you reprimand them about
not yelling out, and then you throw things
at them regardless.
But you see the joy on their faces when we
throw things at them, yes. Like, I wouldn't
do it if the audience was like, stop it!
What are you doing?
You're right. Yeah, no, I do it because out of love
and the fact that people enjoy it so much.
And then the fact that we have this lovely stadium seating
in the back of the house really makes for some fun donut throwing.
And then this young lady, Katie, she knitted some donuts.
Those are incredible. Yeah, right? So we're going to have, she knitted some donuts. Those are incredible.
Yeah, right?
So we're going to have to throw knitted donuts at people.
It's less messy.
Either that or we eat her sweater.
She used up all her fabric making the donuts,
so she made a sweater out of food.
Sam, let's start with you with the gift bag items.
What did you bring for the gift bag tonight?
These are great.
Number one.
And you're on from 9 to midnight on...
Yeah, yeah.
Sam Roberts' show is on from 9 to midnight
on Opie's channel.
Yeah.
Well, I also host a wrestling podcast,
which a lot of people know,
so I always have a wrestling prize,
which is a DVD collection
of the best of Raw and SmackDown from 2014.
2014, just this last year.
Right, that's right. It's a good year.
It's going to be, yeah, you're getting it in under the wire.
It would be two years ago, very soon.
Right, still.
Yeah, okay, great.
And if you don't like wrestling but prefer weather...
I know, people generally, it's kind of like you're either an Elvis person or a Beatles person.
Precisely. You're either wrestling or weather.
Yeah.
Yep.
This is a book called The Storm of the Century by Al Roker.
Oh, nice.
So that is going to be a lucky person tonight.
Yes.
I'm surprised you found any of those on the shelves.
I have the audio book.
It's fucking amazing.
Who reads it?
Al.
Oh, okay.
I was like, who reads the book?
I'm like, I can't imagine.
I just don't know when he'd...
Who would sit and read that book?
Honey, I got the Roker book.
Shut up.
You know Al Roker hasn't read the whole thing.
No.
There's no way he read the whole thing.
He's too busy reporting the weather now.
People aren't that...
You don't really need to know about the great Gulf hurricane in 1900 ever, really.
If I were quizzed about it, I would not have guessed that that happened.
But somebody's going to get to find out about it.
Yes, exactly.
What do you have for the prize bag, Ron?
Well, besides my knitted donuts, I have signed bridesmaids by the director Paul Feig.
So that'll be nice.
Yeah.
You have that, like, in your home or something?
Yes.
Yes, it's being shipped here as we speak.
All right, so it might arrive tonight?
Yes.
Oh, okay.
So we'll try to work that transaction out for you a little later on.
I'm trying to get a hold of Paul Feig right now.
Oh, you really over-promised on that.
You probably just have like a Netflix copy of Bridesmaids.
Do it!
All right, we'll get that later, and that's a terrific prize.
Yeah, it's fantastic.
Great movie, great dude.
Did you enjoy the spy movie he made, Spy?
I like everything.
You know, I was on the Ghostbusters set this year.
He invited me up, and it looks amazing.
It really does.
That's cool.
Yeah.
I'm all right with a lady Ghostbusters.
I don't know why they're talking about,
and now we're going to do another dude Ghostbusters.
It's like, let's see how the ladies do, for fuck's sake.
Maybe make it
a lady thing from now on.
Why does it have to be a guy anyway?
We need lady Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles, too.
That's right. And a male victim
in the accused.
Jimmy's always talking to his agent about that I'll do it
I just think not enough
support came for the groups that are against
pinball machine abuse
after that film
because they really tear it up
it's weird it doesn't tilt during the...
That is true.
During the incident.
Yeah, kids will see that movie now
and just not be able to understand a pinball machine.
Yeah.
I don't get it.
Yeah, they're going to do a remake.
She's going to get raped on a Wii.
I just was excited that that sentence
was about to come out of me.
It's just, you know, you're raped on a Wii enough.
Sorry that it's your turn to speak, Esther.
We also need a female boogie night, too.
Yeah!
Really?
Yeah.
Like, she's got a super long vagina?
Yeah, the biggest vagina in porn.
What did you bring for the bag, Esther?
I brought two movies today.
One, I brought the movie Chef.
Oh, yes.
Lovely.
That had me searching all over Miami for the best pork sandwich.
And then I also brought another movie, Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.
Oh.
A lot more popular than Chef, as it turns out.
Yeah, damn, you guys.
Yeah, yeah, but they're both...
Because one of my life goals is to get caught
masturbating in a public theater.
This is a public theater.
Are there any cops here?
You have to say it's like whores.
I don't know why I didn't say prostitutes.
I don't know why I had to be so
mean to them.
And then I also brought a t-shirt
from my Oldies Parodies
collection.
Tie-dyed
your very own
Fisting the Night Away t-shirt.
Which is a music
video you can find on YouTube.
What's it about?
Is it about fisting the night away?
Some song titles aren't exactly
what happens in the song.
Well, it's kind of a PG-13
rated fisting.
I don't... Hang on a sec.
Pretty sure you
can't sing about fisting in a PG-13 thing.
Maybe you can.
It's not a dirty word, fisting.
Is it?
Jimmy, you also can't fist someone 13, just so you know that.
What do you have for the bag, Jim?
I didn't think to buy anything.
You don't have to buy something.
I just grabbed something out of my house
It's the audio book
From my first book, Happy Endings
Read by Al Roker
So that's terrific
That's a great gift
It's good to promote it too
Because people could probably buy this somewhere still, right?
Yeah, well let's get a review on the person who gets it for free
See what they think Yeah, that's great It review on the person who gets it for free and see what they think.
Yeah, that's great. It says on the back
best heard on an empty stomach, so
keep that in mind.
And thank you for bringing that.
Thank all of my guests for bringing all this stuff.
I'm going to put it all in the bag.
We'll start with you,
Sam. You know I like to ask one question
before we get to the game portion,
and that's what was the last movie you saw?
Well, I saw a couple movies this weekend.
I saw two in theaters and two at home.
Oh, break it down for us.
I was prepping for the show.
Well, you really overdid it.
I just needed the one.
But give us all four.
Well, this afternoon I watched The Babadook.
Oh, I see.
I see what you're doing there.
You watched the scary one
in the daytime?
I did.
Yeah.
Last night
I watched Talk Radio.
Oh, that's scary
in its own way.
I hope your career
ends like his.
He's a talk radio show host
that gets shot and killed.
Sounds.
And then in theaters,
I saw the Creed movie
and Trumbo I saw.
Do you think,
it's kind of weird
that you have to say
the Creed movie
because if you say
you saw Creed,
whether they're being sincere
or a smartass,
they have to say, the band?
Because also, as big as it did great this weekend,
it made like $30 million,
and they're projecting it'll make over $100,
and good for them, I say.
It's not a bad movie.
But what was the point I was going to make?
Oh, did anybody remember seeing any kind of advertising
or anything about that movie more than a couple of weeks ago?
They sprung it on us.
I think if people had more time to think about it,
it would have been even bigger.
And I think that Stallone does a terrific job in it.
He's that character.
It's not like he's going back to it.
It's like Rocky got older, and that's how Rocky would be.
Right, the character actually aged appropriately.
Trumbo is a good movie, though.
Trumbo is very, very interesting.
I said something about it being based on a true Hollywood story,
and I got a tweet from a guy saying it's all lies.
Is it?
I don't think so.
No, I think it's true.
I think it's all pretty accurate.
It's like all stuff that I've always kind of heard,
but I didn't know the whole story.
They shouldn't have made that movie if it was fiction.
Yeah, no, don't do that.
Save your fiction for what it would be like
if the Nazis had won.
That's nice to see all over town.
Buses with the Statue of Liberty with a swastika on it.
Thanks a lot, whoever made that show.
Makes for better subway cars.
You need to see that every day.
Well, Donald Trump could make that all happen.
He really could.
He's gonna
get things done.
He's a strong negotiator.
Okay,
so Trumbo's your favorite out of all those
things you said? Yeah, Trumbo.
But Babadook's a solid horror film, right?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I've never seen it.
Oh, you haven't?
Yeah, because horror films bore me.
You'll probably get bored in the beginning of this, but then it gets good.
But it's a good movie.
Okay.
Ron?
Yes?
Last movie you saw.
Well, I did see Creed, but he's already brought it up.
Did you like it?
I was disappointed that they didn't
bring back Pauly's robot.
I just
feel like
that's a storyline we never figured
out.
So it was disappointing.
Yeah, loose ends for sure.
But you brought up how much money it
made, but this is in the Hollywood Reporter.
Most of the money that came in for that movie
all comes from Philadelphia.
So...
Oh, they all ran up the nearest steps and saw it?
Rocky is the fucking Star Wars of Philadelphia.
And, you know, like, even when you're saying, like,
you know, he's nailed it,
this is his seventh time doing it.
It would be hard not to nail it at this point.
But I don't think he nails Rambo every time.
Yeah.
You know, I think he's lost that character a little bit.
But also his physical appearance, like, I don't know.
You know, when he's in those Rambo movies, he's still trying to look great,
so he just looks fake. But as Rocky, he didn't look too uh plastic he just looked like
an older guy uh who's you know just trying to help out and he still he still had a couple of turtles
I like that touch yeah right Adrian didn't live the turtles did I don't want to ruin it for anybody
yeah no everybody in his life is dead but those those turtles, Cuff and Link, they are keeping on.
She just moans so she hasn't seen the last three Rockies.
I did see this movie called,
I think it's Mistress America is the name of it.
Yes.
Anybody see that one?
Noah Baumbach.
Yeah, Greta Gerwig.
And this girl, I think she's going to be a giant star.
And her name is, I think it's Lola Kirk,
and I looked her up, and her father was the drummer for Bad Company.
And it's always been my dream to have the entire family of Bad Company children
do a movie, and we're on our fucking way right now.
I can feel it happening.
Her grandfather is James T. Kirk.
Oh, that's fantastic.
Who's also played the same character seven times.
Do you think that's an accurate number?
Do you think you nailed it?
No, I just threw it out there.
He's done it more than that,
but close, I bet.
That'd be a fun game.
Esther.
I saw a movie that was shot here in New York City that I thought was so funny.
Desperately Seeking Susan.
How did that happen across your eyes?
I don't know.
It was on TV?
It was on Netflix or something.
Wait a second.
You don't recall how you watched it?
I smoke a lot of weed.
Yeah.
But that is a fun movie.
Oh, my God.
That movie, because Madonna was okay in that movie,
that's why we had to see her in 50 more shitty things.
Like, that launched her career as an actress,
and she never, ever was as good as she was in that ever again.
Right, that was such a surprisingly great movie.
Yeah, it was fun.
She smokes weed in a married guy's house.
And I was like...
Yeah, that's one of the many inciting incidents that occur.
Yeah, it's Rosanna Arquette was also...
She's pretty charming in her day.
She's still doing stuff.
I saw her in some movie where she's playing a hippie.
And the security guard
was funny in it.
Who was the security guard?
Was it Paul Blart?
I don't know.
Some random guy.
Some rando?
He had like five seconds in it,
but it was hilarious.
All right.
Yeah, you gotta watch it.
There's lots of little parts in there.
Like John Turturro
has a little part.
Like he's a stand-up comic, I think, in it.
He's like emceeing a show and saying bad jokes.
Am I right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Anyway, thanks for watching that.
It's interesting.
I didn't expect that from anybody.
What about you, Jim?
I think the last thing I saw was Spotlight.
What about you, Jim?
I think the last thing I saw was Spotlight.
Oh, that comedy about they got to get a group of people together.
They don't fight ghosts.
What do they fight?
Oh, rapist priests.
So you saw it as a comedy.
I rented it as porn.
Yeah, we had to interview Stanley Tucci, so we watched that, and it was okay.
You know, it was well-acted, but a little depressing.
And I saw The Martian.
Martian annoyed me.
I'm done with space.
I don't need any more movies about a guy that's lost out in space.
Because it's like they have to make things
that are supposed to be, like,
they have to make it so spectacular
at the end of the movie,
and it's like the idea that he was on fucking mars growing food was pretty amazing i
didn't i didn't need you to make the rescue amazing too like where he's floating off in space it just
got really douchey and annoyed me yeah they blow that out in the trailer they show him making food
he's like how am i gonna make some food And then he makes food in the trailer, like problems brought up and resolved.
Why do I have to pay to see this shit?
Yeah, then again, you are pointing out the flaw in my argument.
Who wants to watch two hours of a guy making fucking mashed potatoes on Mars?
Like, is there a scene in the movie?
I don't remember, but there's got to be a point where he's like,
this isn't such a bad deal being here by myself on Mars.
I mean, nobody's going to come along and murder me.
Nobody's going to try to rape me over a wee.
It's a pretty sweet life.
What was the first movie you said again?
Oh, Spotlight.
Spotlight, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I thought I was going to say
that Mark Ruffalo is impressing me more and more all the time.
I just saw him in another thing called Infinitely Polar Bear.
And he's just a good, strong character actor.
Like, he needs to get older and uglier, and then he's going to be that guy that's in everything.
Because he always brings it.
You know, he's always really good.
You know what was amazing, too?
I saw The Big Short.
I got to see in advance of that about the collapse financially of 2008.
And I thought it was going to be boring,
but it was out of a K directed.
It was brilliant, really well acted.
And I almost humiliated myself
by going up to another actor
who I thought was Ryan Gosling.
But I thought he was in the movie
and I was going to like,
I'm going to go tell him how great he was in the movie.
And the guy I was with, like, that wasn't him.
And I'm like, why would you tell me?
Like, if that was me, I would have allowed you
to humiliate yourself in front of another actor.
Yeah, getting confused for Ryan Gosling's not a terrible thing
to have happen to a guy.
Yeah, it's...
You know, that's pretty cool.
Yeah.
You should have, you know, gone back over to him and said,
hey, you should start using that in bars.
Because it worked on me.
For a while, there was a guy in L.A. that was, like, trying to have sex with women by pretending to be
David Cross. That was pretty hilarious.
Wait, are you telling me that I did not blow
David Cross?
Fuck!
Sorry to break it to you like that.
Yeah, well, live and learn.
I saw Victor Frankenstein this very day, today.
Yeah, you can see I'm still excited about being back outside
and doing things and living a life,
because that was a long stretch of road watching
that movie. And it's like,
you know how when they made Sherlock Holmes
into like, now Sherlock Holmes punches people
and gets in fights all the time and is like an
action hero? That's what they try to do
with Victor Frankenstein.
It's just like, come on, you guys.
Can't we just wait till Pride and Prejudice
and Zombies and see how that works out?
Like, do we have to take all the old shit and add action to it?
You know, because I think that one might be good.
I saw the trailer for that today.
Yeah, and it looks like the virgin suicides with zombies.
Not virgin suicides.
Sense and sensibility.
I could just say Pride and Prejudice. And zombies.
It reminds me of that book.
Interesting to see.
That's what they did with Clueless,
is just a Jane Austen story.
Emma, I think, is the one.
I think that's right.
Okay.
Yeah, I think that's correct.
I'll ask you a wrestling question later.
Didn't mean to throw a Jane Austen thing at you.
That was super uncool.
But now's the part of the show where I say,
let the games begin. Let the games begin.
People made name tags,
and they're going to show them to you now.
Bring the house lights up a little bit, please.
They're all so great.
Yeah, there's some really good ones out there.
And each of you has to just pick one and either go physically grab it from them or ask them to pass it forward or whatever you need to do.
I love it. And while you need to do. Janet, you.
I love it.
And while you guys do that, we'll be right back.
Who's that on the poster?
Hey, everybody. Isn't this New York City episode fun? Why bother with a
commercial right now? Let's get back to it.
We're back.
All right.
Great job, everybody. You all got
either big name tags or something
that we can throw.
So I'm pretty excited about your choices.
What do you got there, Jim?
Who are you playing for?
Jess had a bunch,
but I like One Flew Over the Cuckoos, Jess.
Made me really happy.
Because any woman under 40 who likes that film,
I have to support.
Oh, okay.
And if she wrote something on the back,
don't read that out loud.
That's for later.
If she did.
Did you write something on the back, Jess?
She did, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
So yeah, just don't read that out loud.
That's for later in the show.
Esther, who are you playing for?
Well, this poster caught my attention
because I love Xanadu.
Who doesn't?
Well, like the song, not the movie.
That's a little better.
Nice course correction.
And she named her poster Xanadu.
Yeah, and it's got my face on it.
And you were like, why does she have a beard?
Janadu.
Yeah, and it's got my face on it,
and you were like,
why does she have a beard?
I thought that was just an old picture when she used to be a guy or something.
I don't know.
I thought she did a reverse Bruce Jenner,
but I realized it was your face
with a cute marijuana bow tie.
Great job, Janadu.
Yeah, great job.
Ron, who do you got?
I got Gary Movie right here.
It just spoke to me.
It's pretty good, yeah.
I kind of want that to really be a thing.
Just a movie with all Garys in it.
Are there some Garys on there besides the guy who made the poster?
Did you put other Garys on it?
Oh, no, he slacked on that.
Yeah. Because he could have put
Gary Marshall on there.
Gary Busey. Did I ask for
audience yell outs?
Alright,
you're right. This guy fucked up. I don't want
him anymore.
He put my face on the girl in the front row.
Anna Faris, I guess, is who that
probably is. Good job, Gary.
And did he write something on the back, Ron? Yes, he did. Okay, we'll keep that a secret. Anna Faris I guess is who that probably is good job Gary and
did he write something
on the back Ron?
yes he did
okay we'll keep that a secret
and Katie's donuts
her knitted donuts
got chosen by
Sam Robots
she
not only is it
it's police
a Katie me
police a Katie me
yeah
because Katie is her name
uh huh
six different flavors
of donuts she knitted.
Yeah.
Like,
do you know how much effort
went into this?
A couple of those
look like they have filling.
Yeah,
look.
There's multiple yarns
per donut.
Oh,
look at that.
She's even got a little
coming out of the side
of the,
of the one that's filled.
This one's got sprinkles
and frosting.
Yeah,
that one's really,
that one you could,
you could slip it on your wrist. That'd be a nice bracelet.
They taught us how to
do this in rehab. It's nothing we should
really be too happy
about.
Well, she said we could throw them, so
I think we should throw them.
All right.
Yeah.
I'm going to take this one
with the little studs on it because it seems like the most painful.
I'm not taking anything with the pins sticking out.
Wow, these are beautiful.
Oh, thank you.
This could be a Christmas ornament.
Wow.
I like that. I like that
I like that
Just throwing a right
To that guy in the second row
It seems like that's a lot
Of what football is to me
It's just like
Just throw that guy real quick
Okay
We got three yards
That's good
That's good
Let's take it
Can you imagine
If a riot started
And somebody was
Trampled to death
And we had to explain
What they were going for
It's a knitted donut started and somebody was trampled to death and we had to explain what they were going for.
It's a knitted donut.
We had a knitted donut situation on our hands.
People wanted them bad.
People are respectful though.
I don't worry about trampling.
Norton wanted to re-glaze some of the donuts.
Wait a minute. Re-glaze some of the donuts. Wait a minute.
Reglaze.
Yep.
I stopped him.
I love that line in River's Edge
when Dennis Hopper says
something about eating pussy
and then he says,
ate so much pussy
I look like a glazed donut
classic motion picture line you guys
River's Edge is a good movie too yeah it's amazing overall yeah yeah it's got
probably better performances by some weirder actors like Crispin Glover's
really great in it. Heck!
And that's also based on a true story,
which makes it even scarier than any horror movie.
Yeah, yeah.
It's about a bunch of kids.
It's just like they knew a kid was dead,
but they just didn't tell anybody.
Right.
Yeah.
Very strange.
Very strange behavior.
I've told people about most of the dead bodies that I've known about.
It's just instinctual. You just do it.
You just tell somebody about it.
Sometimes you forget. Sometimes you get high first
because you just saw a body.
You're like, I've got to relax a little bit.
You get high and then next thing you know
you're getting raped on a Wii.
I always like telling people someone's dead
when they're not
just so people are happy to see them when they walk in the room.
So you say, like, at a party that person's been invited to,
you know they're going to show up, but you break the news and then they come in?
Yeah, dude, he was killed drunk driving.
Oh, no! Yeah.
Then an hour later, they're like, ah, there he is.
You know, that's what they did with Jesus.
You know, that's what they did with Jesus.
You son of a bitch.
There he is.
I know it.
Points. I also, Ron, I like those unmasked shows that you do
Thank you very much
Where you do long interviews with interesting people
I would like to do one with you one day
Oh I'd love to
I wasn't fishing for that
Are you still going through puberty?
What was that?
I'd love to
It's time to change
Alright let's start the game portion With a little something up to. It's time to change.
Alright, let's start the game portion with a little something
that I call
Douglo's
Musicals.
I saw Hamilton today.
Yep.
Cost me my firstborn child. I fooled them. I'm not today. Yep. Cost me my firstborn child.
I fooled them.
I'm not having any kids.
I'm happy to give that one up.
I've given it up in a few places.
If I really have a kid, he's going to be...
A lot of people are going to be looking for him.
Douglass Musicals is a game where I just start naming songs
that are all from one movie musical.
Could be any movie musical throughout the history of time,
starting at the point where movie musicals started being made.
And first person to yell out,
on stage only, Gary Busey lady.
First person to yell out, on stage only, Gary Busey lady.
First person to yell out the correct movie musical wins this game.
And there's more games to come, so no pressure, you guys.
What movie musical has the song, There Goes the Ball Game?
Amistad.
I'm going to say Damn Yankees.
Ron's guess was better than Jim's.
Basketball.
Oh, nice.
And that was also
not a terrible guess.
Two out of three
of those guesses
aren't even musicals.
But they might have
sang a tune or two
in there.
What's your problem?
Tune or two.
The next song, Blue Moon, is in this movie musical.
It's a Wonderful Life.
Also not a musical.
But that's a fun game if you can keep it going.
Always guess things that aren't a musical.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Anybody else have a guess after that one?
Blue Moon.
Blue Moon.
I've heard that song.
Does that count?
Sure, yeah.
Here's a song that Jim's probably familiar with.
Happy Endings.
Happy Endings.
The Woodsman?
I knew I could count on you to take that in the right direction.
Honeysuckle Rose.
I'm looking at
Ron, because I think Ron's going to be good at this.
Is it
the Willie Nelson Honeysuckle
Rose movie? No.
I wouldn't say it that early if it was.
What's your guess, Esther? Nothing.
Oh, you almost said a musical
accidentally?
High school
musical. Oh, that is a terrific guess,
but no.
Nebraska.
I'm guessing that
for the next one, too.
I should definitely do
high school musical
sometime in this game
because no one
will ever get it.
The Man I Love
is another song
from this film.
Once in a while,
you are my lucky star.
I think if you name the movie, we're not going to know it.
That's the fun part about this game, Jim, is most movie musicals, the name of the movie is a song in the movie.
And when I say it, it's just the first one to say it back.
The first one to repeat, it's going to win.
So stay... Fiddler on the roof.
Stay frosty.
You brought a new kind of love to me.
Ah, shit.
You brought a new kind of love to me.
Another song called...
I think my guess was better.
Oh, shit.
Just you, just me.
Like 40s or 50s, we're talking here, right?
When this movie came out?
Yeah.
Oh, I can't say that.
That gives away too much.
Chicago.
These are musicals she's saying now.
Yep, she's on track now.
Just takes her a while to get warmed up or less high.
It's cold outside.
But the world goes round.
Does that help anybody?
And finally.
I got to be able to see all your mouths.
See who says this quickest.
It's the next one
she's good
this kid's good
the Theme from
Theme from
Theme from
Something summer
Theme from
Xanadu
Theme from
Xanadu. Theme from Xanadu.
Theme from...
Theme from...
The words theme from are not in the name of the musical.
They're not in the answer.
But these words are.
New York, New York.
New York, New York.
I don't know.
That's not fair.
He's closer to your lips.
Hold on a second.
I think New York, New York.
You're going to be great at this.
Yeah, that was certainly a tough one.
And the reason you thought 40s or 50s
is because New York, New York is a period piece.
It came out in 77.
I have my period.
But you know the song New York, New York, right?
You hear it in karaoke every time you go.
I thought this was the word association game.
What?
I thought this was the word association game.
Carry on.
Yeah, New York, New York is the name of the movie.
You know, Robert De Niro and Liza Minnelli.
And Robert De Niro had to pretend to play a saxophone.
And directed by Martin Scorsese.
And it was a big flop at the time, but some people like it.
Well, it was directed by Martin Scorsese and his cocaine.
Yeah.
That was that period.
It's kind of a crazy movie, but it's a lot of standards,
a lot of old great songs sung by Liza Minnelli and other.
There's Mary Kay Place sings a song in there.
I like it.
I like it.
What year is it?
It was 77.
It was after, you know, everyone was like,
oh, what's the guy in the taxi driver going to do next?
And he's like, a musical.
Something rotten reference. All right, let's do the fastest answer game again though, because I love that. I'm in. Just repeat back the
name of this movie when I say it to you. Who won that last time? Did Sam win? Sam won it?
that last time. Did Sam win?
We're not doing it yet, Ron.
I think so far Gary's winning. My guy.
He's not supposed to be playing.
Don't encourage audience members
to yell out. Alright, here we go.
Manhattan.
Manhattan.
I think it was Ron, but I think you fumbled no manhattan okay
woody allen 1978 oh yeah i think that's right yeah black and white a little meryl streep in there
mariel hemingway playing his uh underage girlfriend yeah and then everyone was shocked
later when he had an underage girlfriend.
Wasn't he actually dating her?
I thought he actually dated her.
I don't think so, no.
I think she was just in it.
Let's not get the tabloids going.
But he was still playing an adult man
dating a 17-year-old
because the big plot twist in the movie
is she wants to go away to college
and it upsets him.
I'm pretty sure he dated her.
He tried. Of course he tried.
What is he, stupid?
It's his movie. He cast her as
his girlfriend. You know, in his
defense, he was only 45 at
the time.
Yeah.
It was weird.
It was weird that he was just sending it out there
like, this is what I'm going to do.
Just get used to it.
Right.
A few of the characters are like, that's inappropriate.
And then they go back to talking about Kafka.
Yeah.
Or whatever.
Has one of my favorite ever, ever lines in the movie.
It's not even Woody Allen doesn't even say it.
It's Michael O'Donohue says it.
Or no, Woody Allen has the punchline,
but the setup has something to do with Michael O'Donohue and somebody. No, Woody Allen has the punchline, but the setup has something to do with Michael O'Donohue
and somebody saying,
my analyst told me, I had an orgasm,
my analyst told me it was the wrong kind.
And Woody Allen says,
the worst orgasm I ever had was right on the money.
With a little girl.
Yep, yep.
He says it to her, and then he's like,
do your homework and then suck it.
I auditioned for that movie, yep. He says it to her, and then he's like, do your homework and then suck it. I auditioned for that movie, Manhattan.
He said I was too old.
I was 12 at the time.
That would have been fun
if we didn't just establish that movie
was from the 70s.
I think it worked.
They're going to do a remake.
That's what you should say.
Woody Allen's going to do a remake.
A sequel to do a remake. That's what you should say. Woody Allen's going to do a remake. Exactly. He wouldn't cast me except a tool.
A sequel to Manhattan.
Mm-hmm.
Ew.
Yeah, instead of a two, it'll be Manhattan Ew.
Let's play a game called ABCD's Nuts.
Woo!
It doesn't get any simpler than this game, ladies and gentlemen.
Basically, it's a spelling game.
Since it's Thanksgiving weekend, I decided we should give thanks by spelling Thanksgiving.
We'll start with Ron, and then we'll go to Sam, Jim, and Esther.
I'll go to you individually.
All you got to do is name any movie that begins with the letter
that's the next letter in Thanksgiving. Esther's counting ahead, assuming everyone's going to
succeed, because if somebody blanks or says something that's not a movie, which does happen,
then you will get a shot at their letter. We'll start. We're spelling Thanksgiving, so T is the
first letter in Thanksgiving. Ron. Name any movie that begins with
the letter T. Tron.
What? Tron.
Tron. Okay, I thought you said Trump.
I was like,
eventually, for sure.
I went with a movie
called The Intern, because
it's fun to use the the when you can.
And because it's set right use the the when you can.
And because it's set right here in New York.
That motion picture.
Sam?
H.
Hoosiers?
Any movie that begins with H.
Hoosiers.
You're going to go with Hoosiers.
Hoosiers.
All right.
Isn't that a W?
That does begin with an H.
Not a W.
I went with Home Alone 2, Lost in New York.
It's much more beloved than The Intern.
A, Jim.
Any movie begins with A.
Apocalypse Now.
Yeah, that's a terrific one.
I went with After Hours.
Yeah.
Speaking of Scorsese.
Yeah, I love that movie. Back when downtown was scary instead of
expensive. I mean, that
entire movie is about being trapped in Soho.
That's it. That's
the plot. It's really deserted and you can't
get anything that you need.
It's late and I'm in Soho.
Action.
Also, Roseanne Arquette,
very cute until you start to see part of her leg.
Right.
And then it's like, oh, my God, what have I got myself into?
I've said too much. Check it out, you guys.
Cheech and Chong are in it.
Esther?
N. A movie that begins with N.
Night Crawler.
Okay, yeah.
I don't think it's about Night Crawler. I think it is Night Crawler.
Did you see that movie?
No.
Why?
Are you afraid that it's about
a bug?
No. Because it's about a bug? No.
Because it's, speaking of Kafka, Jake Gyllenhaal,
it's about a guy who turns into a bug.
I was tempted to put Finding Nemo as my entry,
but I thought I'd be disqualified.
Yeah, because that doesn't begin with N.
That begins with F.
But the N is capitalized emo.
Are you looking forward to finding Dory?
What?
They're making a finding Dory.
Apparently she gets lost.
I don't know why anyone would want to find that
three second memory fuck.
From my end, I went with New York, New York. Why not? We were just
might as well.
That's cheating. No, it isn't.
Wait, can I cheat?
You're recycling movie titles already.
Yeah, see how this works?
Ron?
Kate.
Kate, Finding Nemo.
I'll do The King and I.
The King and I.
That's The King and I.
Then I'm out.
Whoa.
Yeah, I didn't think that would happen to you, Ron.
That's sad.
See ya, everybody.
Bye, Gary.
No, stick around. There's more to come.
Oh, good. Yeah.
For my K, I went with King of New York.
Yeah.
S, Sam.
The Sandlot. I'm just kidding.
Thinking about...
No, I'm kidding. They're fucking late. Just joking around. S, Sam You can do this Thinking about The Sandlot
No, I'm kidding
I'm kidding
Through fucking light
Just joking around
But that's gonna be a strategy
Just guess wrong
And say I'm kidding
Right after each time
I'm kidding, guys
I was only joking
I'm not that guy
Who's kidding, too
Swat
Okay
See that?
That was a good movie
Yeah, what does swat
Stand for?
I mean, besides
The American Way What do the letters stand for? I mean, besides the American way.
What do the letters stand for?
I don't know.
Super Weapons A-Hole Tactics.
That's it.
Right?
SWAT.
SWAT.
I went with Sleepless in Seattle.
Oh, that's a nice choice.
Yeah, because it takes place at the end in New York City.
And I'm going to be at the Neptune Theater in Seattle
on January 16th at 420.
G is your letter, Jim.
Get Shorty.
Mm-hmm.
Good answer.
Thank you.
I went Gangs of New York.
I hope you guys are seeing where this is headed.
We never caught on.
As we come back around to Esther,
the letter I.
Inception.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Phew, that starts with an I.
What a good one.
I went with It Could Happen to You.
It was about that New York waitress
got the gigantic tip,
and Nicolas Cage was like, what?
V.
I think, is there a Victor from New York?
Is that a movie?
Wait, you're out anyway.
Oh.
Sam.
This felt bad for me.
Very Bad Things. V. Oh. That just felt bad for myself. Very Bad Things.
V, V.
Oh, that's interesting.
You went with that
because where does that movie take place?
In New York.
I haven't seen it.
I don't know.
Oh, you've never seen it?
No, I just know it exists.
That's interesting
that that's your top-of-the-mind V movie
and you've never even seen it.
A V for Vendetta then.
You've seen that?
I saw it.
Where does that take place?
New York.
No.
Because I went with Vegas Vacation
because Very Bad Things takes place in Vegas.
And I'll be there at the Plaza Hotel on January 24th
at 420.
Jim.
I again.
Another I. I, Robot. Mm-hmm. Ooh. Jim. Eye again. Another eye.
Eye robot.
Mm-hmm.
Ooh.
Yeah.
That's one of those ones
that doesn't work out good
for the robots either.
No.
It's bad for everyone.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean,
that's not the way
it's going to go, but.
I love the end scene, though,
where Will Smith is confronted
by that robot,
and he's going,
tell the truth.
Tell the truth.
All right.
Is that it?
Okay.
For my I, for my I title I went with,
It Takes Two, starring the Olsen twins,
and it takes place right here in New York City.
We got another N for you, Esther.
N. Never, Esther. N.
Never, Neverland.
Let me just say real quick.
I forgot.
I don't think I ever mentioned this.
If you guys match me, if you match what I wrote,
then you automatically win the game.
Yeah, so it's very important.
The whole game?
Yeah, it's over.
At that point, we end the show.
That's the end of the show.
Thanks for coming, everybody.
You just watched people trying to name one movie out of thousands.
There's no X's in this.
But we do know an X one, though.
An X movie.
N?
No, I'm saying name a movie that begins with X.
You know one.
Xanadu.
Yeah.
Exilophone. What's your N word? What's your N word? You know one. Xanadu. Exilophone.
What's your N word? I mean title.
Not you, Jim.
Never
Neverland.
I don't think that's a movie, but
Grinch.
Yes, Grinch is your N.
Now the Grinch stole Christmas.
I went with, it's okay to lose at this point because it's almost done anyway.
I went with New York Minute starring the Olsen twins.
Finally to you, Sam, you have a chance to take this whole thing down.
You've been listening to how this goes the whole time.
And
you just need a movie that begins with G.
And keep in mind, we already did G, so
Gangs of New York is already out there.
So another
New York-based
motion picture that begins with the
letter G. You can do it.
And not a currently running TV show
on the CW.
Good fellas? letter G. You can do it. And not a currently running TV show on the CW. Goodfellas?
Goodfellas?
Isn't there a T in there? Isn't that the Goodfellas?
Yeah, he's right.
I thought it was...
It's called Gremlins 2
The New Batch.
Better answer.
Possibly my favorite of all the New York movies.
I like it even better than Muppets Take Manhattan.
Now, what did you yell out after I said...
They're making a Gremlins 3?
Hmm.
They're making a Gremlins 3?
Hmm.
I hope it's set in the Old West.
Everyone was so excited about Back to the Future 2 day when it was that day, October 21st,
and then it's just like,
but we're not going to watch three again.
We're good.
No.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's play Last Man Stanton.
This is another game where you take turns answering,
but I like to play along on this one for the fun of it.
So if I happen to win, whoever comes in
second after me is our winner.
And
if I happen to,
happens sometimes,
we're going to get from an audience member,
I've already pre-selected somebody, so
don't yell anything out, we're going to get the name
of an actor or actress with a large
body of work. Esther was great at this.
What name was it in Florida
when we played?
John C. Reilly.
John C. Reilly.
And what did you say?
I don't know.
Do you remember what anybody said?
So it wasn't even a tutorial
on John C. Reilly for you
because it didn't stick
any of that information.
Name one John C. Reilly movie.
Step Brothers.
Yay! name one John C. Reilly movie Step Brothers yay so hopefully it'll be a better
not a better name
but you know an easier name tonight
because John C. Reilly is kind of a tough one
and let's find out the name of the person
who contacted me on Twitter
Mike Mercadol Mike Mercad? How do you pronounce it? Merkadole. It sounds like one of those
you know drug commercials. Don't take Merkadole after midnight. Don't get wet while taking Mercadol.
Mike Mercadol,
who would you like us to play Last Man Stanton with tonight?
John Goodman.
That is a good one.
John Goodman is a good one.
Who won that last game?
Nobody.
So we'll start with Ron.
We'll switch the order up.
We'll start with Ron,
then we'll go to Esther.
Ron, name any movie
featuring the great John Goodman.
Raising Arizona.
Of course.
Esther.
Oh, God. You got this
can we broaden it to TV shows
what's that
can we broaden it to Doug loves movies and TV shows
no we can't
we can't broad it there
no just movies
we're gonna stick with just movies
man
Nebraska
I love I love We're going to stick with just movies. Man. Nebraska?
I love...
I want to know the process behind where that guest came from.
Do you know who John Goodman is?
Isn't he Roseanne's husband?
Yes.
In real life and on television.
Yeah, he was...
Okay, Ghostbusters.
Hey, that's not fair.
She got two guesses.
Wait, am I right?
No, no, he's not in Ghostbusters.
You're going to think of some later,
especially the ones that we say out loud,
but you're going to... Ha later especially the ones that we say out loud but you're gonna if you know what he looks like
you should be able to think of something
it'll click in at some point
but you know you'll play in the next game
I'm still catching up on my movies in life
in general
yeah cause you weren't a big movie watcher as a child
very strict parents
I didn't have a TV or a VCR or anything.
Yeah.
You know?
I do.
I hear that.
It's a tragic story.
I'm happy to bring you on here and teach you things.
Like, I'm so proud that you remembered so many John C. Reilly movies.
We did that a few months ago.
Which way are we going?
Gym.
Gym.
Flight. Yes. Which way are we going? Jim Flight
Yes
He's the guy you don't want showing up
If you're trying to stay off everything
In that movie
Alright
I'm going to go with
I'm going to say
There's so many I'm'm just gonna go with one
that I just saw Trumbo
oh you asshole
I was looking right at Sam as I said it
oh you are venomous
I'm going with Trumbo
what a rotten person on your own show
and we're your guests
I've been alright right with everybody else.
So far.
King Ralph.
Yeah, you could come up with another one.
Thank you.
I thought, is he in a movie called Solid Choice, sir?
Is she yelling out a title?
Ron. I'm going gonna go Barton Fink
yeah
Jim
I can't think of the name of that fucking
Ben Affleck movie I'm so irritated
oh yeah don't say it
do it
people that there's always a point where they jump in
When somebody's like, I can't think of it
Oh well, I have it
And I'm going to share with you now
That should be a strategy on Jeopardy
Is the contestant should just go
Oh I think I know it
What is it again?
And the audience member yells out
I heard Argo from the audience so I won't use that one
I'll say Punchline.
All right.
Probably the most realistic depiction of our jobs, Jimmy.
Especially the locker rooms.
We all have the locker rooms.
I love just hanging out in the locker room,
and the guy, his act, he dresses up as a nun.
He's always in there, so it's fun to watch him change. Yeah. And Taylor Negron's over in the locker room, and the guy that his act, he dresses up as a nun. He's always in there, so it's fun to watch him change.
Yeah.
And Taylor Negron's over in the corner going,
and watching that soccer mom just get up there and be funny.
It feels so good as a comedian to see that.
All right, whose turn is it?
Ron's?
No, it's yours.
Oh, it's mine?
It's yours, man.
Okay, I'm going to go with Argo.
I'll do another one if you want me to, but...
Oh, you do?
Yeah.
Okay, let me think for a second.
Rough crowd.
This is really tough for a stoner to come up with this one.
The Big Lebowski.
But he's deceptive that guy
I mean he's been
in a shit ton of stuff
but like
it's hard to
you can
kind of remember
his presence
sometimes and things
but
didn't he play
the penguin
in Batman Returns
don't be ridiculous.
That was Sam Elliott.
I'm the penguin.
If only I could think of one.
It's on the tip of my tongue.
Hey, what's helping?
Oh, wait, Ron, you're next.
And you could still afford to give him one?
Yes, I'm ready.
That's how good you are. Okay, here we go, you're next. And you can still afford to give him one? Yes, I'm ready. That's how good you are.
Okay, here we go.
Mr. Roberts.
Sorry.
Not correct.
You got me.
Finally, we have a strategist in this game.
This game has gotten ugly.
Yeah.
Ah.
And you didn't even let me deliver the news that he was wrong.
You were just like...
He did it on purpose.
Yeah, he got you good.
He got you real good.
Ah.
Do I feel silly?
Oh, goodness.
That was fun.
You writing down Mr. Roberts so nobody else says it?
What's yours?
The Babe.
The Babe.
The Babe, yeah.
Jimmy?
JFK.
Oh, you know, that's always a terrific guess
because there's so many people in there.
It's worth taking a shot
because the whole Screen Actors Guild's in there.
But I'm pretty sure he's not.
He played...
He is? He is? Okay.
Some guy
that sounds like a fan of Jimmy's
They're in a cafe?
He's definitely in it!
I know! I was the second shooter!
I mean, I was the other...
I was on the other camera.
I thought he played Jackie, but you might be right.
All right, the corrections department will get into it later.
You've convinced me that he's in JFK.
There's 500 people here with phones.
Don't look it up.
He's not?
You looked at the entire
cast of JFK
or you just
you looked at his?
He was in
he was uncredited.
Oh.
Because that was
a non-union thing.
You're thinking
of John Candy is in it.
No I know
but I just
couldn't think of a movie.
But, you know, I had moved on, so it is officially,
Jim is still in the game because he tricked me.
I'm not going to bother the corrections department
because we all know.
I thought of a movie.
It was wrong.
Oh, wait.
Oh.
This is great.
All right, one time only offer.
Everybody gets a shot to get back in.
One round.
Wasn't he in that movie Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead?
Hester.
Is that just a, are you just insulting John Goodman?
Isn't that what we're supposed to do?
Because he lost a lot of weight recently.
He's looking pretty good.
John Goodman.
You just said John Candy.
I did?
Yeah.
John Goodman.
John Candy's no longer with us.
Was he here?
Yep.
At the top of the show, the ghost of John Candy is just on my shoulder.
And eventually I'm like, get off.
You're heavy even for a ghost.
Didn't he do a voiceover animation?
Who?
John Goodman. I bet he did
Don't say you guys
We're not done yet
Another terrific guess but no
No he's not in that
Okay so I do know that he was in
The Flintstones
Sam
I just thought of one.
It's your turn.
Well, I lost.
Everybody gets a free get-back in.
Oh.
Was he in the Flintstones' Viva Rock Vegas?
No.
No, they replaced everybody.
That's a shame.
Yeah.
Original cast is always the best.
Yeah.
I have Finding Llewyn Davis.
Is that...
Oh.
You wasted your get back in.
I don't care.
Okay.
I'm glad there's no pressure.
All right, so it's just you and me, Jim.
Do you have another one?
I don't feel like I belong here,
but I'll do the best I can for you.
Was he in Leaving Las Vegas?
No.
Good.
Good, because I wasn't going to guess Leaving Las Vegas.
I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be wasting a good guess.
He was in Inside Llewyn Davis.
Yeah, the...
Oh, you said find...
The prequel to Inside Out.
That'd be fun to make a little animation
of all the characters in Llewyn Davis' brain,
because he was such an a-hole in that movie.
And John Goodman
was mean to him
from the back of a car.
He gave him a lot
of abusive talk
and then it was
out of the movie.
But the audience,
they know something
that we missed
and they are dying
to tell us.
Arachnophobia.
What?
Matinee.
Arachnophobia.
Nobody said arachnophobia.
I wish we still had some donuts.
Throw it in your damn mouths, you smarty pants.
People love guessing.
They're not guessing.
They know.
Guessing is fun.
Yeah.
What?
Red State?
I never saw Red State.
Monsters, Inc.
Of course.
That's why you knew he did a voiceover.
He's fucking Sully in the Monsters, Inc. movies.
She won that one.
She won that one.
I remember that.
Oh, he's...
What's his name?
Sully.
Sully? That's what I said.
He was in True Lies.
That's right.
True Lies.
He was the Jamie Lee Curtis role in True Lies.
He was played by John Goodman in a wig.
Twelve Angry Men.
Coyote Ugly.
Gambler.
Now you're just hurling insults?
So what if one of us is Coyote Ugly and the other one's a gambler?
The Gambler with Wahlberg, that's right.
Evan Almighty.
Hangover 3.
Hangover 3, he was a bad guy in that.
We said flight.
That's how long this drags out for
as people start yelling out shit we already said.
We are forgetting one, though.
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
He was the guy jerking off in the bushes.
Oh.
He's fucking great.
Yeah, because they've got to switch pants at some point.
You've got to be there at the transition, at the ceremony.
Because they all go commando, those girls.
So you get quite a show when they change those traveling pants.
Because if you pick the right laundromat,
you have to wait for them to do a whole cycle of laundry,
and they'll just stand there with no
pants.
Let's play one more game.
Yeah.
The most confusing game of them all.
Reverse Leonard Maltin.
Regular Leonard Maltin's
going to make a comeback tomorrow night for the 12 guests of Christmas.
But in the meantime, I love Reverse Maltin.
And who do we think won that last game?
Who had the most inventive failure?
I think...
I thought Ron won it.
I thought Ron won it. I thought Ron won it.
Ron.
I fucked up with JFK.
I thought Ron won it.
I thought it was Esther.
Okay, so then we'll start with Sam.
You know, nobody else mentioned Batman Returns.
What is this game?
It's true.
That was Danny DeVito played the Penguin.
Versus what?
Common misconception Reverse Lennon Paul?
Yes
Reverse Leonard Moulton, right?
Oh, Leonard Moulton
Reverse Lennon Paul
I'm like, oh no
It's perverse
Yeah, Leonard Moulton has this app
With movie reviews on it
And I use that to play this game.
And we'll start with Sam and then go to Ron, Esther, and then Jim,
because Jim will have time to figure out what the hell is going on
by the time it gets to him.
Sam gets to choose between three films,
and which one he thinks he knows the most actors in the cast of the film,
as listed by Mr. Malton.
And then the bidding begins.
After Sam says how many he thinks he can name it in,
then it'll go to Ron, and he has to either up the bidding
or challenge him to name it, or name those names.
And then he has to name all the names.
If he fails, then Ron gets the point.
So it is possible to win through not knowing anything.
Levels the playing field.
There's no reason to point fingers.
Which one of these three movies, Sam,
do you think you know the most actors from?
A Christmas Story, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, or Christmas with the Cranks?
I'll say National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.
All right.
1989, Leonard Liss. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. All right. 1989.
Leonard lists 11, 16 names from the cast of this film.
So you just have to name them in any order.
How many of those do you think you could come up with?
I could do four.
He says he can do four, Ron.
Four?
Four.
Of the cast members of Nat Lamps.
Is that what they say?
War on Christmas.
Moron Christmas.
So I say name them.
You think?
That's what he's going for.
People in the audience are shocked.
Esther and Jim are like, what do we get to play?
How does this work?
But Sam has to come up with four.
And a point is on the line.
We're playing to two points.
Watch heavy chase.
Don't, please.
I beg you.
We won't tell him if he's right until he's said four names.
Beverly D'Angelo.
I just got a laugh
off of giving the audience a stink eye.
Julia
Louis-Dreyfus.
If you say so.
And
one more.
Kid from Big Bang Theory.
Would be the fourth and final...
He's good.
Of my top four.
That would be four in your face, Bennington.
That's your final answer?
I can't remember what the crazy guy...
It has to be as listed. I know who you're talking about. He had the, you know, uncle. I can't remember what the crazy guy was. It has to be as listed.
I know who you're talking about.
He had the, you know, uncle.
I can't remember his name.
Uncle.
You know, he's got the brother who's not crazy, but he's crazy.
Oh, Mr. Roberts.
Yeah, you're thinking of Johnny Galecki and Randy Quaid.
Randy Quaid.
Are the names you couldn't come up with,
which I always thought you were going to get four
when you pulled out D'Angelo and Julie Lee Dreyfuss.
I thought you were on your way.
But unfortunately, you didn't make it,
and Ron Bennington gets a point.
All right, this time we're going to start with Jim
and then head over to Esther.
Uh-oh.
Yeah, Jim gets to start us off by picking a title.
Which one of these do you think you know more people from?
Valentine's Day?
New Year's Eve?
Or Labor Day.
Which is not an alternate title for what to expect when you're expecting.
I didn't hear...
Is one of those the shining?
Valentine's Day, Labor Day...
Or New Year's Eve.
Valentine's Day.
And how many does he list from that?
He lists a lot of people.
So this is another chance to just swing into the wind and see what happens.
He lists 9, 11, 9, 11.
Yep.
I can name 19.
I can name 19.
6, 8, 10, 12, 15.
He lists 21 names.
From Valentine's Day, how many do you think you can name?
You know, you can bid as low as one if you want.
That's good news.
We'll get it bid at one.
He's saying one, Esther.
Do you think you can name two people from Valentine's Day?
Maybe two.
You think?
All right.
So I guess she's saying two, Ron.
Yeah, I don't know why she would. But I think you could do better than two, Ron.
Valentine's Day?
Yeah, Valentine's Day.
I think I could do a round two somewhere.
Oh, you don't think you can get to that magic three?
No, I don't think...
You want to give Sam Roberts a look, see where he's at?
Sam?
Yes, Ron?
You know this movie?
Oh, very well.
How high can you go?
I'll tell you later.
Sounds like he'll bid higher if you bid three.
I don't know.
I don't know if he's playing games with you right now.
Or you could bid even higher.
There could be revenge at stake here.
Yeah, I'm out again.
You're what?
I'm leaving her at two.
Okay, Esther, all you got to do to get a point is name any two of the 21 people that Leonard Maltin lists as starring in the motion picture Valentine's Day.
Okay.
Here we go.
Rachel McAdams.
People, someone's already so sad for you.
Oh, man.
Are you thinking of Mean Girls?
No.
Valentine's Day.
Name one more just for the fun of it.
Roblo.
You know, with a movie like this, those are both guesses.
Like, why wouldn't they be in this movie?
They're attractive people.
They're attractive.
They would be in love in a Valentine's Day movie.
Yeah, they'd fit right in with Ashton Kutcher and Jessica Alba,
Jennifer Garner and Julia Roberts, Patrick Dempsey, Bradley Cooper.
Let me get through the whole list,
and then you can tell me all your grievances about every one of them.
What happened?
Jessica Alba cut me in line at the airport.
Oh, she cut... She took out a shiv and cut you?
No, she just got in line ahead of everybody
because she was fancy.
Yeah.
Or did she really just barge in ahead of you?
Or was there somebody from the airport with her?
No, somebody, a TSA agent escorted her
to the front of the line.
Yeah, that's what they do,
so she doesn't have to...
Jessica Alba shouldn't have to stand in line.
No, I mean, the people that are going to bug her
while she's just standing there, they don't need that.
They got more important things to do. Just whisk her through
and go back to looking at
everybody suspiciously. Oh, so is
Jessica Alba in the movie?
Yeah, that's what I was doing
is listing off, did you think I was listing off
other people that would have been wrong guesses?
Here's what you could have also said and not won.
John Goodman.
Sylvester Stallone.
Mark Wahlberg.
Werner Herzog. They're all
not in this movie.
But there's a shit ton of people.
Topher Grace was a great guest on Opie and Jimmy recently.
Yeah.
Yeah, super nice guy.
He's been on this show.
Taylor Swift, of course.
She's been a great fan of me on this show.
Taylor Lautner, that werewolf kid.
That's why he got it cast in the Twilight movies.
He really is a werewolf.
So he's having trouble working
because he kills a lot of people at lunch.
They break for lunch
and he just starts murdering people.
It's terrible.
Emma Roberts was in this too.
Anne Hathaway, Jamie Foxx, Jessica Biel.
It really was.
Great guesses, Esther.
You really could have.
Those people could have so easily been in this movie.
So did I win?
Yeah.
I said one.
She tried to take me up a two.
Right.
But then Ron is the one that ultimately challenged her to name the two.
It's two points for Ron.
Okay.
So Ron, well, yeah, Ron is our absolute winner.
Ron did it.
By not playing.
I gave a tip to my friends over at DraftKings that Ron would probably win tonight.
So, I'm going to get a little taste of that action.
So, I'm pretty excited about that.
Let's give the prize bag to...
Who are you playing for again, Ron?
Oh, Gary. Where's Gary moving at?
Gary is right here.
There he is. He's right up front.
Congratulations, Gary.
Congratulations to you, sir.
The Gary Moody sign.
Can you grab that for me?
Oh, that's got a long-winded shithead
on the back of that donut box.
There you go. You get that back.
Let me get these other name tags from you guys.
And also, starting with Jim, what do you got to plug?
You got some dates and stuff coming up?
I have a new tour on sale very soon.
It's called Mouthful of Shame, and I'm working everywhere.
Just go to JimNorton.com to get tickets.
Yes, Jim Norton.

I don't know.
I honestly don't know

One of them's 103,
but what's it on XM?
In my car.
206.
206, that's right.
Okay.
Professional broadcaster

That's right.
It's on OP Radio 103.
I'm on Raw Dog 99, 12 o'clock every day.
And then also, I'm taking Esther to Star Wars
and seeing if she can guess what movie she's watching.
It's going to be really exciting.
I have two guesses.
Yeah, sure, you get two.
One of them is Star Trek.
Do you know the title of the new Star Wars movie, Esther?
The new one?
Yeah.
Star Wars
goes to Chirac.
Why would you
ever do a show
and not have her on it?
I know, right?
Crazy to me.
It's amazing.
Because I bring
the best prize bag gifts.
Well, I was on your side
then.
I was saying
you should be
on all the shows.
I wasn't against you But this has been a very

McDonald's
So one more round of applause, everybody,
for all of my guests.
Jim Norton, Esther Kuh, Ron Bennington,
Sam Roberts,
Douglovesmovies.com for all my shit.
And now I'm going to say the shitheads.
Having to decide which order
to do them in.
Okay.
I think I feel pretty good about this.
People who get angry
if you say happy holidays instead of
Merry Christmas are a shithead.
Jewish
guilt is a shithead
And Donald Trump and his big fat stupid fucking face
Is a shithead
Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie
Eyes of gold, his viewing prowess makes him cocky
There's no room in his heart for you
