Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug Hayes, candy wrapper screaming, he sits with 50 at the bar where Colonel Dean is teased. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies. Hey everybody My name is Doug and I love movies This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you from the actually full UCB theater Thank you very much for filling the place you guys
Starting point is 00:00:38 but it was only like 6 or 7 empty seats last week and the week before but it starts to get to you after a while that there's any empty seats last week and the week before, but it starts to get to you after a while that there's any empty seats because it's free to get in and it's usually pretty fun. Like nine times out of ten, I think it's a pretty good time.
Starting point is 00:00:55 Like I said, we're at the UCB Theater in Los Angeles, California on Tuesday, November 22nd to Ocean's Eleven. That was Garfunkel and Oates with the holiday version of the Doug Loves Movies theme song written, of course, by Chris Hardwick and Mike Firm.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Firm Man. A.K.A. Hard and Firm. Thanks to everyone who came to the shows I did last weekend at the San Jose Improv. I was on a bunch of different shows. I did one with Graham Elwood. I was on Joe Rogan's show.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Sam Tripoli and Joey Diaz were there. Super fun dudes. Super fun times. Please support all of their shit. Speaking of shit, it's time for Watch This, Not That. The number one movie in the country is Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1.
Starting point is 00:01:40 Perhaps the first, really? Apparently there's a young lady in the audience. Perhaps the first. Look over there, some big tough dude. I watched it instead of football. It's perhaps the first PG-13 movie to feature a vampire performing a C-section on his mortal wife with his teeth. his mortal wife with his teeth. The number two movie is Happy Feet 2, which does not feature a vampire performing a C-section on his mortal wife with his teeth, so watch Breaking Dawn Part 1, not Happy Feet Part
Starting point is 00:02:18 2. This has been Watch This, Not That. We've got six or seven entries at this point in the Santa Size Me contest on YouTube. Get your fake trailer onto YouTube and tweet me about it by December 15th. And the winner will get to appear on Douglas Movies if you can get yourself to L.A.
Starting point is 00:02:37 or if I do a Douglas Movies near where the winner lives. If you're like in Antarctica and you have the best Santa size me trailer, you start saving up for a trip to LA. Antarctica probably does have a leg up because they could just go outside and shoot. I'd think it was the North Pole. I'm doing four shows at the Punchline in San Francisco
Starting point is 00:03:06 December 27th and 28th and all four shows will be pretty much completely different because I'm going to try to recreate each of my four albums. One on each show. Call it crazy, call it stupid, but don't call it late for supper.
Starting point is 00:03:22 What? Alright, my prize bag. The prize bag tonight, as always, or as lately, includes my first CD, Professional Humoridian is in there. Hurley by Weezer is in there, signed by all four dudes in the band. A Weezer t-shirt, a Weezer poster.
Starting point is 00:03:42 You guys have seen it before. Weezercruise.com But also contributed to this package tonight a I believe it's a comedy bang bang or ear wolf t-shirt a CD
Starting point is 00:03:58 signed by, it's called My Dinosaur Life and it's signed by all members of Motion City Soundtrack and a Regis Philbin Christmas album. And an I Hate Jimmy Pardo bumper sticker. So that can only mean that it's time to welcome, please welcome, Tony Thaxton, Scott Aukerman, and Jimmy Pardo. Scott had to go.
Starting point is 00:04:38 He said he didn't have much time, but I thought he might be able to get in a little bit more time on the mic than that, but he's out the door. I heard that intro. I got top billing on that. You did. That's one way to look at it. I generally build to the biggest name, but okay. Oh, wait.
Starting point is 00:04:54 What's up, middle biggest name? You're middle biggest. Did you hear the response that Regis CD got? That guy went over. Yeah. I told you that people might get excited that Regis is here. He's retired now. Yeah. I told you that people might get excited that Regis is here. He's retired now. What else is he going to do? Not this.
Starting point is 00:05:11 That is true. Not this. But now I've got a goal. Right? Yes. Start tweeting. I'm going to prove you wrong. Regis in 2012. I like it. Wait, let's be realistic. Regis in 2013, if he's not dead. Oh, come on. If, let's be realistic. Regis in 2013, if he's not dead. Oh, come on.
Starting point is 00:05:27 2014, he dies. If we're all not dead. The world's going to end 2-0-1-th. Hi, I'm... Holy shit. Good start. Strong start. Oh, what?
Starting point is 00:05:38 I'm making fun of myself. Okay. Very excited to have the three of you here because you're all three former Tournament of Championships competitors. You don't say. Yeah, none of you have ever actually won an entire tournament, but you all came fairly close. I won the 12 Days of Christmas. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:06:00 I consider beating 11 other people to be... It was pretty amazing, and that got you instant entry into the next tournament of championships. So that means that Jimmy and Tony could be fighting for a slot in that. How many open slots are there in that, Doug? You'd be an alternate. That's how many...
Starting point is 00:06:18 Yeah, there's already so many people. Then why try today? Well, I'll tell you why. What incentive do I have to try? Because you want to win for somebody in the audience. No, I'm selfish. Because you want to get rid of that Regis Philbin CD. I'm back in.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Because if you lose, I'm going to make you keep it. I like Regis's voice. He's a terrific crooner. I love his voice. When he gets together with Tony Bennett, it's like two old guys talking. I love my heart in San Francisco. Yeah. That's the perfect impression.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Thanks, guys. Hey, three guys fighting for an open slot reminds me of college. Hey! Anyway. Can't go. Because I played
Starting point is 00:06:58 classes are hard to get in. We had both had alternate punchlines to that one. And we said them at the same time, which nullifies all punchlines. The ultimate nullifier.
Starting point is 00:07:09 Doug? Yes, sir? Have you commented on this gentleman's house arrest bracelet in his sock there? Has that come up at all? What do we got in there, sir? What is that? He's got, I think it's like his wallet, maybe.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Is that a tumor? Is that that square bulbous tumor? I think he's got a wallet, or he's one of those guys that's like a deck of cards and he's always trying to do magic tricks. What do you got in there, sir? He's always like, what's up, ladies? What do you got? Hang on. Whatever it is. Is it a camera? It has nothing to do with movies.
Starting point is 00:07:35 It is a camera. It's a camera. Ladies and gentlemen, I guess camera. Confirmed camera. I think it's a phone. He could make movies with that. I've just been told it's a phone. Phone confirmed. Sir, what is it? It is a phone. Aw, damn it. This just in.
Starting point is 00:07:49 His sock. All right, let's go. Let's go. Let's talk movies. The construction of a joke? Really? It had the... You said something like, give us the update, and I said, this just in.
Starting point is 00:08:05 Oh, we got it? I we got it The professionals are questioning it I thought you were saying it didn't make sense To get a spot in the next To get an alternate spot You need to not only get a movie right In negative names today But then also win the entire game So Scott is really going to be Sitting here trying to keep you guys from participating.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Just from doing that. Because I'm already in. So I have no stakes here. No, your stakes are that you hate to lose at this game. That is true. Okay. That's what I need. Good.
Starting point is 00:08:38 I didn't need to go to more. Yeah, okay. No, you guys are all very competitive, and that's what I like about you. That's the new criteria for return guest on Douglas movies. I'm going to say print that lineup now because I'm not going to be on that thing. I don't see me winning here.
Starting point is 00:08:53 You're good at this game, Jimmy. I don't need a pep talk. I'm saying that there's a lot of hoops to jump through in order to, you know. Yeah, it's not going to be easy. Anybody can do it. We'll see you at the end.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Thaxton. We'll figure it out. We'll find out at the end. Speaking of Thaxton, Tony Thaxton, drummer for Motion City Soundtrack, you guys. Thank you. Brought a copy of one of their CDs,
Starting point is 00:09:19 My Dinosaur Life, and all the dudes signed it. There's like five dudes on there, right? Indeed. Yeah. And I noticed that I went to either imdb or somewhere i did some research and found that uh you guys have a song over the end credits oh maybe you tweeted about it that was it oh you tweeted about you have a song at the end of chris tucker must die john t Die. Oh, why do we have to quibble? Don't fuck up the classics. Why can't a guy dream?

Starting point is 00:10:12 exciting that's like that's like that's like being in the movie yeah it is it's in the movie it is in the movie and when it plays on hbo they uh HBO, they don't squeeze it and run it fast. They play it out. Oh, yeah. Squeeze it and run it fast sounds like college. It might be college. I played Doug Love's movies. What?
Starting point is 00:10:37 In college. That was my tag from the previous joke. But you didn't say yours at the same time. Oh, that's what we were supposed to do? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You and I are always out of sync. We were never in sync. We were never in five of those young lads.
Starting point is 00:10:50 Jimmy Pardo. Peter Cetera's Glory of Love played over the credits in Karate Kid 2 and went to number one. You want to shit on this gentleman? Go ahead and do so. I'm telling you. I'm telling you. I'm telling you where that song's heading.

And folks that are not going to be there can watch it live online at podcast.com. Raising money for Smile Train.
Starting point is 00:12:00 And or suck a dick. Nope. Can't see that being the Nope. Can't see that being the option. Can't see that being the alternative. What should we do tonight? Should we do a podcast? How do you think about sucking a dick? You know what?
Starting point is 00:12:12 You talked me into it. I'm going to go with B. I think Scott was pointing out that you could listen to it and suck a dick. Like you could do them both at the same time. I can't. And no one would complain. No one would complain. You're the only person that can't listen to the podcast
Starting point is 00:12:27 while sucking on a dick. How does that make you feel? Are you disappointed you can't suck a dick and be on the show at the same time? It makes me feel better than everybody else. You are better than everybody else. You're raising money for the Smile Train, a very good organization. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:12:45 And Scott Aukerman, I can't be there if the podcast is on. I. Thank you. Thank you. And Scott Aukerman, I can't be there if the podcast is on. I apologize for that, but I also cannot attend. Scott Aukerman, curator of Comedy Bang Bang, you've got a big benefit show coming up in Los Angeles in December? Yes, and in fact,
Starting point is 00:13:00 December 13th, and this is the first time I will have ever talked about it. Can you text people about it at the same time? No, I have the names of people who will be here. You're going to name the whole lineup right here? It's not like a surprise or anything? It's not a surprise.
Starting point is 00:13:17 It's got to move some tickets, man. It's got to move some tickets. Who's on the podcast-a-thon? Listen, I'm not comfortable talking about it. Jimmy's in the rare... You have the great Listen, I'm not comfortable talking about it. Jimmy is in the rare... You have the great fortune to not have to sell tickets to this. This is more of a broadcast event.
Starting point is 00:13:31 We sold out the tickets. They sold out in about 12 minutes. The theater is full. It's only 100 seats. The theater is full. We like the guests to be surprised whenever they pop out. It's fun. Can you recommend people wear their Lazy Forever jumpsuit pajama things? Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:13:47 Forever Lazy? Yeah, those things are great. I don't know what it is, but yes. There's a thing called Forever Lazy. They've taken all those footie pajamas. Oh, yeah, yeah. I've seen that. They put it all together so you could just be encased in love and die alone.
Starting point is 00:14:04 They could wear that, or they could suck a dick. The options as you age just do not get better. Let's hear it. Let's hear what you got. This will be at the Montalban Theater. Tickets are going to go on sale very soon. This is a 1,000 seat theater.
Starting point is 00:14:18 You know what I heard about that theater? What's that? That it looks marvelous. No. No, it does not. It's not even the person. It's not even the person. It's not even the right guy. If you were to say DePlaine, DePlaine was flying over it.
Starting point is 00:14:30 All the seats there have Corinthian leather. That's what I should have said. That's a little better. And everybody has a smile. Let me give you an example of the lineup here. We have Patton Oswalt, Sarah Silverman, Kevin Nealon, Mark Maron, Tim Heidecker, Bob Odenkirk, Neil Hamburger, Tom Lennon, Nick Kroll, Paul Scheer, Anthony Jeselnik,
Starting point is 00:14:49 David Wayne, David Koechner, Todd Glass, Paul F. Thompson, Natasha Leggero. That's just half the lineup right there. That'll be December 13th. Again, I'm so sorry I can't make it. It would have been an awesome show if I could have stopped by to say a few things. You're saying that like I didn't invite you.
Starting point is 00:15:05 No, I said I can't make it. That sounds like I was invited. No, but it sounds like when you say it that sarcastically, anything you say like, oh, I'm so sorry I can't make it. Yeah, the joke was that's a fucking fantastic lineup and my bullshit would add literally nothing. I was insulting myself.
Starting point is 00:15:23 Well, I'd like you to be a little more clear about your insults to yourself. Jimmy's bad at insulting myself. Well, I'd like you to be a little more clear about your insults to yourself. Jimmy's bad at insulting himself. We're all so bad at it. Can I tell you this? Survivor's Eye of the Tiger ran over the credits of Rocky III. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:15:37 To the top! Rise it up! OFT. Back on the street. Old factoid. OFT. All right, so I Factoid. OFT. Alright, so I have questions about movies for you guys. If we could slip some talk about that into the
Starting point is 00:15:51 show. People love that. Have you seen any lately? Let's start with Tony. Yeah, I've seen a few. I saw the Being Elmo documentary, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's not easy, Being Elmo? What's it called? Being saw the Being Elmo documentary, which I thoroughly enjoyed. It's Not Easy Being Elmo?
Starting point is 00:16:07 What's it called? Being Elmo. Being Elmo. About the guy that performs Elmo. Yeah, yeah. It's an international sign for Elmo. It's African American, gentlemen. It is.
Starting point is 00:16:15 What's up? As I understand it. Yeah. Yeah, you didn't know that, did you? No, I did not. Take that away from Oliver as soon as you can. You got that right. No more Elmo for Ollie.
Starting point is 00:16:28 And that's a good movie, though, right? Yeah, it's great. It's kind of a heartwarming story. And it, I'll be honest, made me tear up a couple of times. Right, because children that are probably dying get visited by Elmo? Exactly. There is a scene in there. And that black guy shows up and scares everybody. because children that are probably dying get visited by Elmo? Exactly. There is a scene in there.
Starting point is 00:16:47 And that black guy shows up and scares everybody. I just made myself laugh. I couldn't even keep the straight face I wanted to. Yeah, you almost committed to that. I broke. Yeah. I apologize. It's nothing what you were saying, Tony. I wanted to get that racist joke in there.
Starting point is 00:17:05 I didn't want that to be missed. Jimmy, have you been to the movies? I know you I saw a double feature on Saturday, Doug. No way. Yep. You did a little theater skip? No, I paid for both. I'm a gentleman. Paid for both? Yep. He was in a theater I was one of four people in both showings, so
Starting point is 00:17:23 they would have seen me going in and out So Jack and Jill, that's right. That's a Who does he owe money to? I'm Delaney on Twitter saying he's trying to he's trying to get with Jill. He wants to fuck her Anyway, I saw a margin a Kevin Spacey vehicle. And it was all right. And I saw, I get this name wrong each time, Martha Marcy May Marlene. Saw that.
Starting point is 00:17:57 I think you actually said it right, too. Outstanding. It's good? It's rather, pinker drop. That's how excited they are about my review on this. I saw it. You saw it? Yeah, I saw it. Did you like it? I thought it was good pinka drop. That's how excited they are about my review on this. I saw it. You saw it? Yeah, I saw it.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Did you like it? I thought it was good. I mean, it's a thriller. I thought it was going to be a drama. It is a drama, but it's more of a thriller. I was not expecting that. Does that make sense? Not expecting it's one thing, but then you weren't prepared for what it was?
Starting point is 00:18:26 I was ready. You couldn't handle it? I was ready for an emotional catharsis. Yeah, I kind of was, too. I kind of thought it was going to be something like that. It's more of a... It's more of just... Scary.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Yeah, a little bit scary. A little creepy. Creepy. Creepy, maybe. Like the last exorcism kind of thing? No, not even that. It's just kind of... I liked that movie.
Starting point is 00:18:43 It's interesting. I definitely thought it was interesting. Yeah, I liked it. I enjoyed it. And that young lady did a terrific job. Sure. That Olsen gal.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Nellie Olsen from Little House on the Prairie. She's really grown up. The third Olsen. So what about... Scott, we talk about movies frequently off mic. Off and on mic.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Yeah, and you... Your top movie, has it changed? Your favorite of the year? Has it changed in the last week or so? I'm really into The Descendants. Yeah, I saw that and enjoyed it. But Bridesmaids, I think, is maybe my top movie of the year so far.
Starting point is 00:19:22 I really enjoy that. I did see J. Edgar the other day, and it is J-ust horrible. It's, I tell you, you do not have time to laugh at his ridiculous accent before the terrible old age makeup pops up in front of your eyes. Yeah, I don't know about the old age makeup.
Starting point is 00:19:44 I'm always, I don't even like it in a Katy Perry video. Not even then? Not even then. Todd Levin, who you know, had a great line on Twitter about it, which was old age makeup for J. Edgar provided by Halloween headquarters. It is
Starting point is 00:20:00 so ridiculous. Instead of being in a movie, he should just jump out in the middle of a maze. Like a Halloween maze. Hello, Shani! It's like a Carol Burnett sketch the entire time. It really is.
Starting point is 00:20:15 I've heard some people saying good things about it, so I'm going to still check it out, but I... Kick them in the dick. It is terrible. Well, when my mom tells me something's good, I generally don't kick her in the dick. It is terrible. Well, when my mom tells me something's good, I generally don't kick her in the dick.
Starting point is 00:20:31 It's a very rude response. So you haven't seen Young Adult yet? No, I saw it the other night, yeah. Oh, you did. So that didn't vault into your top movies? I tell you, one thing I feel like they missed is Charlize Theron. Okay, it's called Young Adult
Starting point is 00:20:44 because she's a writer of young adult books. But one thing they missed, uh charlize theron okay it's called young adult because she's a writer of young adult books but one thing they missed it has a double meaning because she actually is not very mature in the movie they totally missed that they never like you think they weren't aware of that no not at all it's crazy like i'm so i just like I hope they address that at some point so confusing physical played over the credits of perfect let's get physical
Starting point is 00:21:16 by Olivia Newton-John that went to number one there was a dude I can't remember his name now in the last UFC fights he came out to let's Get Physical and had like a rubber band jump rope-y kind of thing
Starting point is 00:21:28 and was dancing around and acting all silly. And then he was fucking knocked out in the first round. It's hard to remember someone's names when your pants are around your ankles and you're in a hotel room jerking off furiously. You were right about the pants around the ankles, but I was at the fights. I wasn't in a hotel room.
Starting point is 00:21:48 That'd be creepy. When you're at the fights, that's what you paid for, is to be able to jerk off while you watch it. But one more thing I want to ask Scott before we get into the meat of the... Oh, I don't have a... You mean best of for Oscar contender?
Starting point is 00:22:03 You don't see movies in that way? No, I just like favorite movie of the year. Of the year. Well, the movie I had the most fun at and will watch again and again is probably Super. And then... Super 8. A few people. You didn't finish.
Starting point is 00:22:19 Just let me finish! Hold the applause until the entire title. Super. Super. Yeah. I enjoyed the first half or two-thirds of Super 8 is one of the best films of the year, but I just don't like what happens near the end. All the kids get raped, if you haven't seen it.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Repeatedly. It's the weirdest plot twist because it's such a sweet movie up until that point. And the alien just watches. He has nothing. You're like, the least you could do is tell whoever your leader is, you know? He's got no dog in this hunt.
Starting point is 00:23:01 But Scott, I wanted to ask you about... Please do. Are you excited that Titanic is coming back? So excited! It's coming back in 3D. Yeah, that's next April. But it's going to give you a chance to bring back your fantastic joke about that movie.
Starting point is 00:23:27 That I'm putting you on the spot. Oh shit, I don't remember. Whisper it in my ear. Oh, here, look. So are you excited that it's in 3D this time around? I will say that Kate Winslet put the tit in Titanic. Why did I say that? I don't remember it.
Starting point is 00:23:49 You said it like when Titanic came out. Eight years ago? Have we known each other that long? Have we known each other that long? Have we known each other, what, 13 years? We've known each other 16 years. So three years in, you said that. And I've been clinging to it,
Starting point is 00:24:07 hoping for a 3D re-release. Titanic trivia. That Celine Dion song played over the end credits. True story. Went to number one. You guys want to look this up. Google it. No, the end titles of Def...
Starting point is 00:24:25 It was Def Leppard at the end of Titanic. No, you didn't see the right movie. I saw the wrong Titanic. Okay, shall we play a game? It's called the Leonard Maltin Game. I'd rather not. I'd rather not play. You guys got name tags?
Starting point is 00:24:43 I refuse myself. Jordan didn't even bring his baseball because he knows. You wouldn't get to be picked anyway. There's a Sarah Bueller's day off. Is your last name Bueller? Holy shit. That's pretty good. And then Jordan with the boxing glove.
Starting point is 00:24:59 The frisbee. How do I pronounce that? Someone's played for you before, right? But they didn't win? Honor system. Is this guy's name gizmo what's that oh my shit there is a giant gizmo headed dude in the audience that's what they should have worn in the town when they were robbing the bank can i ask a question i know what happens when you pour water on you but what if you pee on you That's what they should have worn in the town when they were robbing the bank. Can I ask a question?
Starting point is 00:25:29 I know what happens when you pour water on you, but what if you pee on you? Because Scott wants to pee on you after midnight. But you'll grab a snack first. He'll buy. Yeah, go get your name tags, guys. Go pick whoever you want to play for and take it from them. Bring it back here to the stage. Sarah Bueller got picked.
Starting point is 00:25:54 The weird... What does that have to do with your name? Is your name Gizmo? Don't shake your head like yes. Birth name. I notice whenever I play this that people don't pick the gals all that often. They always go with the guy. So I chose Sarah. Okay. Sarah Buehler's day off. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:10 What's your actual name, Gizmo guy? Anthony. Okay. And you went with the... We can remember that because your name is Anthony. It's actually... I'm actually a birth Tony. Birth Tony? What? And it's T-O-N-E with a dash over the E? Exactly, yes.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Wow, this is the cutest, creepiest thing I've ever seen that Scott managed to find. I just pulled out my penis. What I assume is a Snuggles teddy bear puppet with a V for Vendetta mask on it.
Starting point is 00:26:42 Look at that shit. Look at that tiny little mask. Why aren't you down on Wall Street right now? I thought so. The V from Vendetta guy wasn't much of a talker. He actually gave speeches, right? In that movie? Like political speeches? Beautiful, florid speeches.
Starting point is 00:26:58 Ah! But yeah, and John, where's John at? John did go with the... He's up top right up there. Okay, John did go with the 99% loves Doug loves movies is the sign that this little creepy bear is holding. That is really disturbing looking. All right, we'll put that next to Gizmo. By the way.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Oh, and he can blow himself also, which comes in handy when you're occupying Wall Street. Because you get bored. You got to make the time go. Yeah, you got to make the time pass. And pepper spray is a great lubricant. So one thing about the Occupy Wall Street. Hey, guys, take a bath or something.
Starting point is 00:27:39 You know what I mean? I mean, I know that we're like. Occupy bathtub. Yeah. How about that for like one day Occupy bathtub? Yeah. How about that? For like one day out of the month. Seriously. I mean, God bless you guys. You haven't been,
Starting point is 00:27:50 so you have no idea what it smells like. I don't even know what we're talking about. Honestly. That's fair. It really is. You're talking about that movie with Carly Sheen, right? What was in the end credits? Oh, the Wall Street end credits?
Starting point is 00:28:05 I can't answer that. Wall Street! They're all coming down! The walls onto the street. Wall Street! Money never sleeps! That's where they got the idea for the sequel, was the song at the end of...
Starting point is 00:28:22 Okay, I don't know the answer. That did not have a soundtrack. The Wall Street did not have a terrific soundtrack. Oh, really? Yeah, I'm the soundtrack guy all of a sudden. Really, OMF? Old Man Factoid? That's right. All right, Jimmy, since you think you have no chance tonight,
Starting point is 00:28:38 we'll start with you. And we'll finish it with you. And since you're a soundtrack expert, that helps me to decide on what the first category option is. You've got three choices. I'm ready to go. I'm playing for Sarah.
Starting point is 00:28:52 After you select on behalf of Sarah, we'll go to Scott and then to Tony, birth name Tony. Weezer on the soundtrack. It's motion pictures where Weezer is on the soundtrack. I don't know if they're in Chris Tucker Must Die,
Starting point is 00:29:08 but they might be. At Kronberg on Twitter suggested that time of the movie, which is period films. Are we talking about films where chicks get their periods? Because that's what
Starting point is 00:29:24 they're called, yes. I love all the great period films, like Carrie. Carrie was one of the great period films. And I believe I'm at a loss for a second period film. There haven't been a lot of really good ones. Under that definition, there's pretty much only the one. Or Tootsie Pops. Done.
Starting point is 00:29:44 That's movies where Dustin Hoffman plays someone's father. Tootsie Pops done that's movies where Dustin Hoffman plays someone's father Tootsie Pops which one would you like Jim? I go Tootsie Pops he's going Tootsie Pops alright
Starting point is 00:29:57 this movie's from 1989 love it two and a half stars from Leonard Maltin yeah it says that 1989. Love it. Two and a half stars from Leonard Maltin. Yeah. It says that Hoffman plays a father who is estranged,
Starting point is 00:30:17 which I believe means no longer around the child. And then Leonard says this movie is worth seeing for three terrific performances. Who are the other two besides Hoffman? Those would be determined later. I see. I see. But nice try. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:32 I bet you're great at, Simon says, two and a half stars. 1989. 89, huh? Hoffman plays an estranged father, and there are three leads that are quite terrific. That's what I hear. And there are eight names listed. I assume those three will be in there somewhere, possibly even in the top three.
Starting point is 00:30:56 But you start at the bottom. That's right. So how many names do you think you need, Jimmy? Five. Five. Strong, bold opening bid coming over to Scott Aukerman. Fuck, I know everything. I've seen this movie coming over to Scott Aukerman. Fuck, I know everything. I've seen this movie. I know everything
Starting point is 00:31:08 about the name. So, with that in mind, I'm going to have to say four. Wow, that seems to give Tony an easy decision. That's what I was thinking. Unless you're some sort of liar.
Starting point is 00:31:26 It could be a bluffing. Yeah, I'm going to say name that movie. Interesting, yeah. Name that movie. Let me hear the names. Do you still not know what it's called? I mean, I know it's one word. A pluralized word.
Starting point is 00:31:40 I can guess. Okay, Ian, you get four names all right Deborah Rush Bill McCutcheon Victoria Jackson and Janet Carroll I said them quickly because they're probably of no help yeah they're no help it's it's it's not fuck, it's not, yeah, break it down. What movies is it not? It's something like, get the list out.
Starting point is 00:32:12 It's something like Thieves or Robbers, but I'm trying to know exactly what it, it's, because it's Sean Connery and Dustin Hoffman.
Starting point is 00:32:23 He said Victoria Jackson, clearly UHF. It's... Victoria Jackson? Yeah, she was in this. I thought you said Virginia Madsen. It could be Virginia Madsen for all anybody really cares. I mean, you didn't get into the meat of it
Starting point is 00:32:39 with those names that you got. Who knows what Victoria Jackson is in it? Sean Connery plays Dustin Hoffman's father even though he's only eight years old. If the game were to describe everything about it but the title, you would kick ass. Can we change this game? I'm going to need an answer. It's not
Starting point is 00:32:57 Steelers. The Iron Curtain. It's not Packers. It's not Dolphins. I'm going to have to say Thieves because it's the only thing I can think of. You know, it does have an S in the end and another S, and it's also got Matthew Broderick, and it's about their three thieves. The grandfather and the father. They're thieves, robbers.
Starting point is 00:33:17 They're thieves, robbers, but since they do it together, that makes what they do a family business. Oh. Family business. But congratulations on knowing more about it than probably anyone in this room. I can even tell you where I saw it. Except for the title. Please tell us where you saw it.
Starting point is 00:33:36 I saw it at the Alondra Theater in Alondra, California. One person clapping over there for that. One thing that a lot of people, I can tell you where I saw any movie I've ever seen. But what's weird about that talent is no one cares. Do you know that played on the end credits, though? Yes. Where did you see Con Air? Con Air.
Starting point is 00:33:57 I saw that in Azusa, California. Cinerama Dome with me, idiot! No, I dressed up for that at Cinerama Dome. I wore a prison outfit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, here we go. Continuing the game. Tony Thaxton gets a point, everybody.
Starting point is 00:34:19 We'll start with Jimmy. Start with Jimmy again, then go to Tony. So you get to pick another category. Would you like at Starvin, no G, Starvin, on Twitter suggested same first name. That's a movie where the main character in the movie
Starting point is 00:34:34 has also got the same first name as the actor or actress who plays that character. Or, it's Scarlett Johansson's birthday today. Yeah. Another category. No, that's a category. Scarlett Johansson's birthday today. Yeah. Another category. No, that's a category. Scarlett Johansson movies.
Starting point is 00:34:48 Or, this is an exciting category I just came up with today, because I saw a copy of Entertainment Weekly. It has a whole article about big stars' worst movies. So this would be the worst movie, according to Entertainment Weekly, of one particular big star. I like that category, but I'm going to go with that name one. You like the same first name? I do. Okay. I think that
Starting point is 00:35:10 sounds fun. 1980. I'm going to switch it to that other one. Two stars from Leonard Maltin, which a lot of people would disagree with. The other way? Yeah. A lot of people would give it more.
Starting point is 00:35:27 He says it's intriguing but ineffectual from 1980, and he also says that it goes on forever. Long movie. Goes on forever. 1980, two stars. Intriguing but ineffectual. And there are seven names. How many names do you think you get in, Jimmy Pardo
Starting point is 00:35:47 of the Pardcastathon Friday night, streaming live at Pardcast.com Pardcast.com What do you think? How many names do you need out of seven? The movie is the, if I understand the category, the title
Starting point is 00:36:03 of the movie is the first name of the man that stars in the movie or lady? No, it's not in the title at all. The character. Those are champs. I don't know what the category is. The main character.
Starting point is 00:36:14 Ah, fuck. The main character has the same name as the lead actor or actress who plays. Oh, so it's the lead. If Jean-Claude Van Damme were in this movie, he would play a character called Jean-Claude Van Damme were in this movie he would play a character called Jean-Claude Van Damme just the first names all we need okay which parts the first name Jean-Claude is Claude part of his last name I'm gonna mr. Claude Van Damme. Your table is ready.
Starting point is 00:36:47 My dinner was Jean Claude. How many out of seven? Considering that I didn't understand this until this very moment. No, you did not. This category is a loser. Yeah, I know. You're right. I apologize.
Starting point is 00:36:58 I think whether you understand it or not, it's a tough category. Well, I made an error. I admit the error. I apologize to my fellow panelists. I'll go with seven. Smart opening bit. Now we move to Tony. Six.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Six. Tony, name that movie. All right. Tony already has a point. If he gets this, he wins. Yeah. I'm confident. I'm confident in you.
Starting point is 00:37:25 All right. I'm confident in you Alright I'm confident in Tony If anybody wants to try To play some side bets He gets six out of seven names Sure 1980 That is some bold play Tony was one year old
Starting point is 00:37:37 You're not sitting next to T.J. Miller Tony when were you born Tony 1978 78 1978 buffs in the crowd. Yeah, and you started going to movies when you were two-ish, right?
Starting point is 00:37:49 Yeah, so you've seen this. Alright, two stars. 1978, intriguing but ineffectual. Wait, is this Empire Strikes Back? The film goes on forever. Was Han Solo in this? Han Solo as himself. That's why he got the part. His name was Han.
Starting point is 00:38:10 I apologize to everybody. I hate myself more than I've ever hated myself in my entire life. There's no clues for this. Listen, I fucked up. Letterman says it might be good. Name the movie. Let me see. Let me see Sarah's name tag, Jimmy. Pass that down
Starting point is 00:38:26 here for a second. Oh, you're more, yeah. Let me see that. Yeah, you got it. I think, okay, I just wanted to see if she wrote a shithead on the back. She didn't. I don't think Gizmo's going to get it. We're going to have to get her to come over and write one down. I'm not worried about Gizmo. You think he's going to get it from this? And Sarah, John, John will have to come down and write one down. No, John wrote
Starting point is 00:38:41 one on the popsicle stick. You think he's getting it from this, Doug? Is that what you're trying to say? Okay. What's that? You think he's getting it from this? Oh, yeah, I do. You do?
Starting point is 00:38:49 Six names? Yeah, I do. 90s, 30s? There's a lot of names for most movies. And it's the lead plays someone. It's not just anyone
Starting point is 00:38:56 in the movie. It's the lead, right? The lead's Madonna. Yeah, yeah, yeah. My advice is just walk away from every clue you've heard except for these six
Starting point is 00:39:03 names you're about to hear. Ann Jackson, Joe Turkel, Barry Nelson. Now, please don't yell it out, you guys, because you're all going to know it starting now. Scatman Crothers, Danny Lloyd, and Shelley Duvall. What do you think it is? The Shining. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:39:27 Tony Thaxton is our winner. Yeah, but okay. This category sucks. In your defense, it's a second category. Because if you had gotten those clues and it was anyone below Scatman, you're asked out.
Starting point is 00:39:41 Well, I'm a huge Scatman fan. That's why the strategy in the bidding, you're right. Below Scatman, people, I'm a huge Scatman fan. So that's why, yeah, that's why the strategy in the bidding, you're right. Like below Scatman, people might not have gotten it. I might've gotten it off of Barry Nelson because it was odd that he was in a movie after kind of not being in stuff for a while and he was the very first James Bond in a TV version. But probably not.
Starting point is 00:40:05 I probably wouldn't have rang any bells. Tell you what, double or nothing, let's go to three. Yeah, double or nothing. Here we go, here we go. What does that even mean? I don't have twice the prizes for... Tell you what, tell you what, tell you what. I'll give up my seat.
Starting point is 00:40:23 What does that mean? I'm going gonna win this You're already two points in the hole It would take forever Fuck it What are you doing? What are you proposing? I'll give up my seat
Starting point is 00:40:36 In the finals? In the finals to this guy Cause he didn't win He didn't win a seat in the finals Who didn't? Tony didn't win a seat in the finals who didn't Tony didn't win one no no he's not in the next
Starting point is 00:40:49 tournament of championships so double or nothing meaning if he wins he gets my seat but does Jimmy get a play also no fuck Jimmy well in that case
Starting point is 00:41:04 I'd like to present a $500 check to Jimmy for his podcast-a-thon on Friday night. Get the ball rolling. I've got to write a name on here. But let's get the ball rolling with the $500 donation. And then, Scott, again, I'm sorry I can't make it to your thing. That's all right. Did you also bring your $501 check? No, also, it's for the L.A. Food Bank,
Starting point is 00:41:36 and I am matching that as well for another $500 to the L.A. Food Bank. Thank you so much, Scott. Vincent, can we get a picture of this? Can we get a picture of us holding the big, huge check? Just grab a shot of that. Okay, good. We got a lot of shots of it. Great.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Thank you. No, tell you what. Okay, let's lay down some ground rules. Okay, mano a mano. Since Comedy Bang Bang is your show, I'm always rushing at this point to wrap it up because out of respect to your show starting out. We're fine.
Starting point is 00:42:01 I just got a cancellation while I was- Okay, so one of the great people who was supposed to be here tonight isn't going to be here to make up for it. We're going to your show starting out time. We're fine. I just got a cancellation while I was... Okay, so one of the great people who was supposed to be here tonight isn't going to be here to make up for it. We're going to drag this game out. And I'm really not participating? Fuck you, man. Get out of here.
Starting point is 00:42:17 No, you can root me on. Oh, no. What? Oh, Sarah's name tag. Let's be clear. That's a piece of paper. Everybody just acted like I punched her in the mouth. What the fuck was the weapon? She can print another one and it has a marker probably, everybody.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Tell you what we do. We play another round to two with the three of us, and whoever gets to two gets my seat. So, Jimmy, you're in it. I'm in. Shut up. But we start at zero. Yeah, get that crinkled up name tag back.
Starting point is 00:42:57 Does Gizmo still get the prize, or does the prize move on as well? Oh, yeah, Gizmo won this stuff. That's a done deal. Looking out for Gizmo. And so, at least you get to, John and Sarah get to pick a shithead for the end of the show.
Starting point is 00:43:12 Quick anecdote, and this is not music related. That I Hate Jimmy Pardo bumper sticker, Doug, you were on the telephone with me when I came up with that idea to make the I Hate Jimmy Pardo bumper stickers. Because I said that?
Starting point is 00:43:24 No, I did. I was working in Houston, Texas, and you were going to be at the club the week after me. And you said, how are the shows going? I go, yeah, they're going alright. I should be selling I Hate Jimmy Porto bumper stickers. And then you laughed and went, that's a good idea. And I went, yeah, that is a good idea. I had no idea. It's a horrible idea. How many of those have you eaten over a full hour? I made 1,000 of them. I sold them for $2 for a week and then $1 thereafter after every show.
Starting point is 00:43:52 And I have about 900 left. Made those in 1995. But I love that there's 100 people driving around probably building up world hatred for Jimmy Pardo. My mother saw one the other day and was like, wow, somebody really hates you. You didn't tell your mother about it. Some guy made his own bumper sticker. Somebody hates you so badly. Where's John with the delightful puppet?
Starting point is 00:44:18 No, he's on the back of this. Oh, yeah, you wrote it on the stick. Got it, got it. I have to confess I was barely paying attention during the game because I was dealing with the dropout I had, and then I got a weird email. So I would love to concentrate. Oh, that's part of why you didn't do well?
Starting point is 00:44:33 That and my own ineptitude for not remembering. You really hate losing. I'm saying let's go again. You hate it so much that you ask everybody to keep the game going. These guys don't mind. Yeah, let's do it. I'm into it. So if Scott loses to either of these two gentlemen
Starting point is 00:44:53 in another round of the game to two points, they will get your spot. Yeah. And you have a definite spot. You weren't an alternate. You were definitely in. No, I have a spot, because even in the last tournament of champions,
Starting point is 00:45:03 I qualified. Yeah, you're constantly qualifying. You were definitely in. No, I have a spot, because even in the last tournament of champions, I qualified. Yeah, you're constantly qualifying. You're always qualifying. Your mistakes are always being qualified. Oh, Doug, do you really mean that? A little bit. Kind of. All right, so since this was your idea, we'll let you start.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Love it. And then we'll go to Tony and then to Jimmy. Which one of these categories would you enjoy would you like edgar wright hasn't seen it which is films that edgar wright has not seen and uh there's some clues if you notice the new beverly recently announced which movies he's showing that he it's the festival of movies edgar's never seen december 9th through the 16th. And on Thursday, December 15th, I'm going to be co-hosting it with him. Is this part of those movies that he's showing, or this is
Starting point is 00:45:52 just in general? This is a movie he hasn't seen. So that's not the greatest category in terms of making you feel confident, because he could have not seen anything. It's movies he hasn't seen you don't know him that well sure you would probably wouldn't know which movies i haven't seen i can take a
Starting point is 00:46:12 stab at it because you probably weren't sitting next to me okay that sounds romantic we've seen a lot of movies together was my point and there's always an extra seat in between us you probably weren't sitting next to me uh king of pancakes and i'm always going to give king of pancakes credit for this one because this is a great category number one movie at the box office domestic one year 10 years ago today let's go with 10 years ago today so you've got edgar hasn't seen it 10 years ago today or for your third optiongar hasn't seen it 10 years ago today or for your third option i gotta go back to a category that's already been covered so let's pick the scarlett johansson so would you like scarlett 10 years ago today or edgar's never seen it i am I am... I'm gonna go
Starting point is 00:47:05 ten years ago today. In the shadow of 9-11, America's ready to... Now, again, a stronger competitor wouldn't remind people of exactly the... I think we can all figure it out. We all know what happened ten years ago.
Starting point is 00:47:20 I wouldn't jump to that. I wouldn't necessarily think this film came out in the shadow. Well, actually, he said 1980 earlier. I said I was two, and then Scott asked, what year were you born? I wasn't listening to you. Yeah, he was on his phone dealing with the cancellation. Tell us who canceled.
Starting point is 00:47:38 Rita Redner. No, no, no. Chelsea Peretti may have canceled. I'm just trying to figure out exactly what's going on. All right. I'm sure you'll figure something out, and this is the best time to do it. Sure. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:47:51 After getting us to continue the game. Listen, I want to keep playing and keep ignoring what's happening. Ten years ago. Let's do it. Yeah, yeah. Two and a half stars. 2001 is the year. It was number one at the box office this week?
Starting point is 00:48:06 To this very day. Ten years ago. It was a different day of the week, I believe. It was a different world back then. But, yeah. The whole world was shaking up. A lot of Americans were reconsidering their place in the world view. Sure.
Starting point is 00:48:19 I know it. I don't know it. So, here's some of the things that Leonard says about this movie. I don't know. So here's some of the things that Leonard says about this movie. He says that it is, it winds up being overlong and bombastic. Oh, boy. And that it was known outside the U.S. by another title. Oh, boy.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Yeah, those are some fantastic clues. Fantastically confusing clues. And you have 17 names? 17 names. 18 names. 18 names. 18 names.
Starting point is 00:49:00 I'll name it in 10. Alright. Now we go to Tony, who says... Seven. Seven's a good bid on 18 names. Should be able to do something with that. Jimmy Pardo? Six.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Strong six, strong. Jimmy. Yes, sir? Name that movie! I think, I don't know, maybe. Okay, we'll see. I'm going to need the, you know, this is Jeopardy style, I need the correct title. These are the bot.
Starting point is 00:49:39 You can't go with the title that is known by elsewhere. Two and a half stars. Yeah. Bombastic. Overlong.. Two and a half stars. Yeah. Bombastic. Overlong. Called something else outside the U.S. Okay. And your six names.
Starting point is 00:49:51 Yeah. Out of 18. Yeah. People in this room are definitely going to know it. They will. Yes. Whether you're one of those people. I'm going to ask.
Starting point is 00:50:00 Here's the question. David Bradley. Zoe Wanamaker. Julie Walters. Warwick Davis, Tom Felton. What did I say? Warwick? You said Warwick. It's Warwick.
Starting point is 00:50:12 But with a W in the middle? Yeah. Okay. I can agree with that then. As long as you were trying to act like there was no W in the middle of Warwick. Oh, there's a W in the middle. Yeah, yeah. Tom Felton.
Starting point is 00:50:23 Am I pronouncing that right? Or is it Fel-wa-ton? And Sean Biggerstaff. Those are your six names. Jimmy's making a face like he's not going to come up with this. Should make it a very
Starting point is 00:50:37 hollow victory for Scott Aukerman. Is it Harry Potter? Be more specific. Fuck. Seriously? Harry Potter and the Temple of Doom. I love when they pull Harry Potter's heart out of his chest. Calimars up today.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Harry Potter and the sorcerer's hat. He doesn't get more than that. Come on. He doesn't get more guesses. No, yeah, you'd have to come up with quicker. But it sure was fun watching. Sorcerer's stone? Sorcerer's Soup. It is Sorcerer's Stone, but it took too long.
Starting point is 00:51:30 Is it really? Yeah. He had too many guesses. No, you can't have him go Sorcerer's Hat and everyone go, ooh, so close. Yeah, that doesn't happen on Jeopardy. I sure I tried. I got an Alex Trebek curbside of this shit. I'm impressed with myself that I knew that, for Christ's sake.
Starting point is 00:51:51 Yeah, yeah, we're all there. You have a four-year-old child. He doesn't watch that. What does he watch? Not that. Yeah. We watched the original. Around 2001, his kid was probably watching World Trade Center
Starting point is 00:52:03 because he was showing some respect. That movie didn't come out that fast. Damn it. This was the first movie when you were talking about the 9-11. This was sort of the first movie that people went to in droves and one could argue that it was because we needed escapist fare. It was horrible. No matter how shitty it was.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Horrible. What's that? I went to it in a van. I didn't go in a drove. Damn it, damn it, damn it. I saw it at the, not the Village Theater in Westwood Village. You don't say. Yeah, well, I'm just playing the I know every place I've seen a movie game that you started earlier.
Starting point is 00:52:44 Okay, so that means, Scott Aukerman, you're on the board with one point. No one's rooting for me. No one's rooting for me. All I want is to actually play. Let's play. That's the best way to actually play, is to play.
Starting point is 00:53:03 So let's see, that was between Scott and Jimmy. I walked out of that movie. What? I walked out of it. Man's Chinese 6. Had enough. Walked out.
Starting point is 00:53:11 That's the one with the chest thing, right? There's a chest thing going on in that movie? Yeah, walked out. I didn't care for that one or the next one so much, but then I grew into it.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Is that right? Third one's a masterpiece. I like it. You love it. The third one's really good, yeah. And then the very last one's... I'll revisit. All right. Okay The third one's really good, yeah. And then the very last one's good. I'll revisit. All right.
Starting point is 00:53:26 Okay, so Tony, we'll start with you, and then we will go to Scott, because he challenged Jimmy last time around. I'll throw in an interesting category for you, because you guys are all skilled players. My good friend Asparagus P, a.k.a. Asparagusp, suggested this, and I've been running with it ever since, a category called Zero Names. That's where if you pick this category, you get to go first.
Starting point is 00:53:54 I read the entire review, and your first bid has to be zero names or less. You have to go zero or negative names. Do we get the year? Yeah, you get the year, you get everything. But you just don't get any of the names and then you have to go from there. So it obviously... Most of the time everybody knows what it is and then it's a game of how many negative names you get. Who gets the point if you get it wrong?
Starting point is 00:54:18 The person who challenged you. Like if he's... The bidding still continues from there. It just starts at zero which way are we going right now will Scott be we're going at Scott
Starting point is 00:54:30 yeah okay yeah just so you know and then for your other two categories you can choose between
Starting point is 00:54:35 Weezer on the soundtrack and EW's Star's Worst Movies which one would you like I like all those I think I'm gonna go with the Star's Worst Movies. Which one would you like? I like all those. I think I'm going to go with the Star's Worst Movie.
Starting point is 00:54:50 Okay. This movie is from 2008. Leonard Maltin gives it two and a half stars. So that wouldn't imply that it's the worst movie. It goes right down the middle. That this star ever made. He says that it's supposed to be a caustic denunciation of commercialism, but the result is formulaic and only intermittently successful.
Starting point is 00:55:20 Damn it. Caustic denunciation of commercialism, but the result is formulaic and only intermittently successful. Two and a half stars. Damn it. 12 names. So 12 people at least participated on camera in this motion picture that turned out to be somebody's worst. I'll start at 8. Then we come to Scott, who's been
Starting point is 00:55:56 dying to play. Here's his chance. Caustic, you said? Caustic, you said? Caustic. I'll say seven names. Let me come to Jimmy Pardo. I know the movie. It's the same deal. I don't know the... I can't pull the title. It's very caustic.
Starting point is 00:56:21 There was only that one caustic film in 2008. Everybody in the room knows it i can't i know oh oh yeah name it how many names did you just give him seven oh boy seven names he handed in the game seven names you really want to get into the tournament champions this way, Tony? Do you want to go in back door? Touche. Is this how you feel? Do you feel comfortable going in that way? Somebody handing you a seat? Not me.
Starting point is 00:56:54 You have the points. Drag him down with you. Would you like to close again, Mr. Ackerman? Caustic denunciation of consumer culture? Damnerman? Caustic denunciation of consumer culture? Damn it. Caustic denunciation of consumer-alism. Alism? Commercial.
Starting point is 00:57:11 Commercial. Commercial. Commercial. Can I have your pen? Lazyisms. I'm going to write this down, what I think the title is. What are you going to write it on? Sarah's.
Starting point is 00:57:20 Sarah, is that okay? Why do you keep trashing her art? Okay, he's going to write down a guess just to impress us all. Well, only because I want to know if I would have gotten it right. Well, you will know and we could have trusted you, but I'm glad you wrote it down. Two and a half stars, caustic
Starting point is 00:57:37 denunciation of commercialism and the result is formulaic and only intermittently successful and out of 12 names you get seven. And your seven names are... This is one of the worst films of the star of this movie, or the worst film according to
Starting point is 00:57:53 one magazine. K.D. Aubert? I don't know because it doesn't have a W in it, so I'm not sure. This one I'm not sure if you pronounce a W or not. Is it U harrelson or woody harrelson is it illy nelson or willie nelson is it sarah ite or sarah right is it all these people in this yes is it is it todd stash ick or todd stash wick every single fucking name has the w in it
Starting point is 00:58:20 that was fun while it lasts and. And Nathan Phillips. In eternity. And Nathan Phillips is your last name. So all those people are in it. You say them again. Yes. K.D. O'Bear. A-U-B-E-R-T. Woody Harrelson.
Starting point is 00:58:33 Willie Nelson. Sarah Wright. Todd Stashwick. And Nathan Phillips. Those are your six names. Six names remain. Those names are a bunch of losers. I know.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Nathan Phillips was in four movies. Who? Nathan Phillips was in four movies in 2008. You know Nathan's work? No. No, I do not. I'm not familiar with Nathan. Nate Phillips, good man.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Okay, Scott. Willie Nelson and Woody Harrelson. They got high a lot. They... What's up? I'm just going to go see what Jimmy wrote because I might as well be doing something while you do that. I think I'm wrong, but can you read that all right?
Starting point is 00:59:21 That might not even be the title of a movie. What the fuck is that? You know what? I'm just going to guess because I have no idea. I'm going to say Four Christmases. No, that's incorrect. Marshall is on Madden. No, that's wrong.
Starting point is 00:59:39 That is my favorite Willie Nelson movie, though. I have no idea. I never saw it. I get a point. Yeah, I think you do, right? I movie, though. I have no idea. I never saw it. I get a point. Yeah, I think you do, right? I do, yeah. Yeah, you said name it, and the movie is called Surfer Dude.
Starting point is 00:59:52 What? Oh, Jesus. Matthew McConaughey. How do you choose the worst out of all his bullshit? And then Leonard gave it two and a half stars, so I imagine Leonard thinks failure to launch or something is worse. This game is rigged.
Starting point is 01:00:06 No one would have gotten Surfer Dude had it been a million movies. Could have used all 12 names. Nobody would have got it. I don't know. Woody Harrelson and Willie Nelson having such bad billing gave away to you that it was a fucking stoner thing. You said that. Sure. So that narrows it down to like maybe how high.
Starting point is 01:00:21 And yet the existence of a movie named Surfer Dude was the thing I tripped up on. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know why you're not familiar with Surfer Dude, but that was certainly. What was the name of that Mike Judge movie that Luke Wilson starred in? What was the name of that? Luke Wilson?
Starting point is 01:00:38 Idiocracy? That's what you tried to write down? I wrote down Idiocracy. So I was wrong. That's what I thought it was. It sounds like it could have been. Yeah, but you'll see the article maybe. I don't know if you will, but it's big movie stars.
Starting point is 01:00:50 It's not Luke Wilson. No offense. They don't even say Owen Wilson's worst movie, and he's bigger than Luke. Does it make you uncomfortable that I came here with Luke Wilson tonight? Sitting up top. No wonder you can't get Idiocracy out of your head. You won't stop talking about it. Did you see that?
Starting point is 01:01:07 Yes, Luke. He's trying to suck up to him by suggesting it's the worst film he ever made. I'd go with Charlie's Angels 2, probably. No, see Idiocracy. It's horrible.
Starting point is 01:01:17 Idiocracy's got some great stuff in it. That's a great movie. One of us is wrong, guys. Out of three, yes. Out of the three of us. Alright. That was super fun.
Starting point is 01:01:31 Who got what? Jimmy got it. Jimmy got a point. Scott has a point. Jimmy has a point. No, no, no. I have no points. Yeah, you have a point.
Starting point is 01:01:38 I'm not even paying attention. Alright, let's go. Let's do this, Tony. What else is new? Yeah, we gotta wrap this up. I get one more. I go to the tournament. Let's do this. Yeah, I'm excited to get you into we got to wrap this up. I get one more. I go to the tournament. Let's do this.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Yeah, I'm excited to get you into the tournament. Remember, secondly, I said I don't want to get into the tournament. Who's this go-to? What happened just now? I think Scott didn't get it. I chose that category. But he made you name it. Jimmy did.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Yeah, so we start with Tony, and then we go to Jimmy. Okay. All right. And Tony gets to pick between Scarlett Johansson's birthday or that time of the movie, period films, or Zero Names. The exciting Zero Names category.
Starting point is 01:02:16 Yeah, let's go Zero. Let's go for it. I like it. Big finish. I was just watching this on cable the other day. Super, super holds up, if you ask me. Is that the quote? Tony gets all of the review.
Starting point is 01:02:32 Okay. Two stars from Leonard. Boo. 1978. 109 minutes. Spoof of early 1960s college life is only sporadically funny. It depends largely on Belushi's mugging as frat house animal. Not nearly as roisterous or amusing as any issue of The Lampoon.
Starting point is 01:02:53 So he likes the magazine. But it became a tremendous hit and spawned a number of truly terrible imitations as well as the short-lived TV series Delta House. So you could start the bidding at zero names, but let's see how far the bidding can go because there are 17 names listed.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Just so I'm clear, if he says zero, you can go negative one, negative two, negative three. Is that at the top? Yes. I give you the star's name. Yeah, yeah. Top, build, down. Okay. I could probably, star's name. Yeah, yeah. Top build down. Okay. I could probably, if I were involved in this, I might be able to get to four or five names in the right order, maybe.
Starting point is 01:03:36 But we'll see what Tony's got on his mind. I'll go negative one. Nice bid. We might have a three-way tie. Because I don't know if Jimmy has the nerve to go more negative than one. You have to, Jimmy. Come on. I'll go negative two.
Starting point is 01:03:53 He says negative two, Scott. I'm going to say name them. You cock sucker! You cock sucker! We're going to find out in one second. Yeah, so all you've got to do is, what's the movie called? What? I've got to do that too? You don't think you know the name of the movie? Animal House, yes.
Starting point is 01:04:21 Yes, yes, yes, okay. And who is the top billed performer in Animal House, yes. Yes, yes, yes, okay. And who is the top-billed performer in Animal House? Number one? Oh, Jesus Christ. They named him in the description, I believe. Scott, why are you helping? I was doing a little bit there. Oh, that was a bit?
Starting point is 01:04:39 All right, John Belushi. Okay. Then who's second-b build in Animal House from 1978? For the win. Boy, I'm so torn. You got some names in mind? I've got three names in mind. Oh.
Starting point is 01:04:58 This is for my spot. I have a choice. Here's the thing. The one that I think it might be, it might be an and. He might be. He's either second build or it that I think it might be, it might be an and. He might be. He's either second build or it's and this guy. Oh, I see what you're saying. That's an interesting way to look at it.
Starting point is 01:05:16 Sometimes Leonard will mix it up. He doesn't necessarily go with the... Jimmy, don't take my spot. I don't think I'm going to take your spot. I think you're going to hold on to your seat. I'm going to roll the dice with Donald Sutherland. Tim Etheson. Oh! I love your later correct guesses.
Starting point is 01:05:40 Is it Tim Etheson? It was Tim Etheson. Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck! Is it Tim Matheson? It was Tim Matheson. Yeah, Tim Matheson, of course, who played Otter. And then...
Starting point is 01:06:07 Who's McGill? The third is John Vernon, who played Dean Warmer. Then Verna Bloom, who played Mrs. Dean Warmer. Sutherland, for man. Tom Hulse, who was... Amadeus. What's his name? Amadeus. He rocked several people.
Starting point is 01:06:26 Cesar De Nova, who played the car dealership mafia guy in the movie. Bruce McGill. Peter Riegert, Stephen First, then your Donald Sutherland, and Karen Allen, Sarah Holcomb, Bruce McGill. Karen Allen's all the way down there. Yeah, yeah. It was a big cast. A lot of people went on to be still known. Mark Metcalf, Niedermeyer, of course, went on to be the maestro on Seinfeld.
Starting point is 01:06:47 And, well, that was exciting, you guys. Congratulations on a very exciting finish. Extra long episode for the listeners who enjoy extra long episodes. Extra so. I managed once again to win without ever guessing the movie correctly. It's beautiful how you do it, and we'll see you again in the next tournament of championships.
