Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seeds With 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth There's still not one that he won't see Because Doug loves movies Hey, hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug, and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies. Sweet.
Starting point is 00:00:33 Coming to you once again after I don't know how many times from Esther's Follies in downtown Austin, Texas! It's Monday, March 11, 3-11, 3-3-11, 2024, and South by Southwest is in mid-swing. We're at the halfway point about thereabouts, not really, Couple days. Forget it, Doug. Move on. South by Southwest comedy continues tonight and
Starting point is 00:01:12 tomorrow. Are you seeing a lot of comedy shows, everybody? I bring out the best for these shows out here and I have a great time every year at South by. but now that I put it all the way down on the floor I need to get the prize bag and tell you what is on the line today somebody in the audience is not only gonna win a bag
Starting point is 00:01:34 that many of you probably already have because you're at South by Southwest and they give you one in the first day used Used to be full of crap, the bag that they give you. Now it's just an empty bag that they just hand you and go, you go out and fill it up with the crap you find while you're here in Austin. And I brought a bunch of stuff from California to give away today. The quote-unquote prize bag has,
Starting point is 00:02:05 I mean, for starters, I got some dude wipes. It's a single use, I think, but it's a, yes, it's one flushable wipe, but just the name dude wipes alone made me feel like that is something worthy of gifting.
Starting point is 00:02:21 A hip flask for people who still want to sneak booze into things for some reason. Yeah, we got some back there. Some Douglas movie stickers, a license plate that you can't put on your car really because that would, people would go, that's fake, but it says high society on it. high society on it. Really bad choice of something to put on your car. Oh, was anybody here when I demolished James Adomian
Starting point is 00:02:52 in the Wits End Game Show presented by Samantha Bee? This was my it barely fit over my fat head this medal, this honorable medal that I got. I kept some of the prizes they gave to me, like the inflatable trophy, so don't feel bad about taking the prizes.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Oh, from my hotel room, a copy of Texas Monthly. And then from our friends at Hamper, a rolling tray, and these are two things from Peacemaker that I love. Oh, wait. I might be not saving the best for last.
Starting point is 00:03:32 But this is a $5 gift certificate from Torchies. Yeah, it expires on March 31st of this year. expires on March 31st of this year. And then finally, from our friends at Peacemaker, this thing's called a clutch, and it's like a water pipe that also has a little area to keep your lighter and the weed itself all in one rubber device. Speaking of rubber devices,
Starting point is 00:04:02 who doesn't love a wacky pipe? It's finally somebody made a long camouflage-colored smoking utensil, smoking device. I mean, this is almost too beautiful to give away, but hopefully they'll hook me up with more. All that stuff is going to be won by one person today. And to help determine who wins that, I've got to get my guests out here. But before that, it's time for Doug Plugs. Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs! Holy shit, thank you. You're so into it.
Starting point is 00:04:41 I can't wait to tell you about shows that you probably won't go to because you live here or somewhere I'm not going to mention.

The Max one is called Girl Daddy, and then the new one is on Netflix, and it's called if you didn't want me then okay like a sentence yeah i would see it movies itself by that are just sentences like i
Starting point is 00:06:54 love you forever i don't understand you i was excited when i saw y2k i was like oh that's simple easy to remember runner-up was just Doug, but I didn't ask you, and so I just had to go with the other one. Oh, okay. What's your favorite thing, best-selling, that's happened to you or that you've seen at South by Southwest this particular visit? Ooh.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Okay, moving on to our next... Even during the non-game show part, I like to keep it going. What do you think? You're going to pass? Oh, we can come back to you. That's fun. I love that plan. Also joining us today, he...
Starting point is 00:07:38 He's an introvert from New Jersey. Give it up for Chris Gethard, everybody. That's probably the most accurate intro I've ever been given on a podcast. Right? It's from your ex-formerly Twitter bio. Yeah, that's fair. Yeah, I got it straight from the Gethard's mouth or your Twitter account.
Starting point is 00:08:03 You probably made that bio when it was Twitter. And thank you for being here today. I feel very lucky to be here. Thank you for having me. Why do you feel so lucky? Just to, you know, be included at this stage of life is a nice feeling. Thank you so much. I'm well past my peak and it's nice that you would even think of me.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Thank you so much. You were like top of the list. This was when I looked at who's available, which comedians are at the festival. These are the four people I picked, and you all said yes. You got your top four choices? I got my dream team.
Starting point is 00:08:35 I'll show you the fucking text. I could prove it, but I said to Charlie, this would be my dream team. And then all four of you are here. It really shows the value of aiming low. Hey! In my case. I didn't say my insane
Starting point is 00:08:52 dream team or my wildly impossible dream team. Even the 1992 dream team, some guys came off the bench and I am like the John Stockton of this dream team. I understand my role. Alright, well I'm glad there's one person that was hoping for a sports reference.
Starting point is 00:09:09 The rest of us came here for... Larry Bird. Movies. Look at you go. So, Chris, what's been your favorite thing that's happened to you? You got to think about it since I asked Beth earlier. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Has there been a good thing? Have you seen any movies or done anything? No, I just got here yesterday pretty late in the day. Okay. So I did a couple shows, but I tell you what,
Starting point is 00:09:34 being at the age I'm at today, I caught up with a friend who lives in Austin. Right? That's nice. I went and hung out with a friend. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:43 He happens to, this is because I'm a weirdo he happens to be a jujitsu instructor so we wrestled in his garage this is true I can show you photographic evidence of this if you'd like and I threw my back out
Starting point is 00:09:58 my back hurts a little bit because I fought a black belt in his garage and sometimes I forget that I'm a little bit of a strange cat. See, an answer like that is why you're on my dream team. Haven't seen any movies. Did fight a man
Starting point is 00:10:15 in his garage. Lost the fight. It's perfect. Definitively lost. He pretended to be a veterinarian on Better Call Saul, and he's a bar owner, IRL. It's Joe DeRosa, everybody. Hi, Doug. Hey, Joe.
Starting point is 00:10:39 How are you? What's this band I keep hearing about? I keep hearing you use the word band, but I don't know any more details. I have a band called Salsa Windfall, and we're playing a show tonight and a show tomorrow night. Salsa Windfall? Salsa Windfall. Salsa? Salsa.
Starting point is 00:10:56 Windfall. Windfall. Were you like, let's go... Sorry, Chris. What was your question? Mild, medium, spicy salsa? Like, salsa. More like the attitude of salsa. The vibe of salsa. Maybe like spicy?
Starting point is 00:11:13 Spicy, perhaps. Maybe we're not in a fucking salsa box. Maybe we have our own definition of the word. I mean, I don't know anybody that wouldn't want to have their own salsa windfall. I mean, it's definitely something. We were really high 25 years ago. And we had recorded some songs, my friend Paul and I, who's here. And we were eating tacos.
Starting point is 00:11:41 And we said, what are we going to call the band? And he picked up a jar of salsa. And he said, what if we called it Salsa Windfall? And my vocabulary is so bad, I thought it was a fart joke. And I was like, that's great. I guess it is. Yeah. All right. So now the band never really existed until now?
Starting point is 00:12:05 No, no. It's been around. It's been a thing the whole time. It's been a thing that nobody's cared about for 25 years. And now we're in South by Southwest. Who the fuck do we think we are? We're friends. How is this that I'm finding out, you know, why am I finding out now that you're in a band?
Starting point is 00:12:20 I just never felt. We've even been at South by Southwest together before. I never felt the right time to tell you that. I just never felt... We've even been at South by Southwest together before. I never felt the right time to tell you that. I never found a time to say the words. I guess I wasn't
Starting point is 00:12:31 eavesdropping enough because I just heard you say band to other people. Yeah, no, I'm here primarily to do shows with the band
Starting point is 00:12:37 and then I got to hop on some other stuff like this. Worked out perfect. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're playing tonight. Come see. Where are we at tonight?
Starting point is 00:12:47 Mohawk. Mohawk. Come through. Where are we tomorrow? Valhalla. Tomorrow. Come through. Wow. Please come through. Are you playing an instrument or your voice? I sing. Your voice is the instrument. Yes. You'd think I would treat it better. But no. I smoked 87
Starting point is 00:13:04 Marlboro Lights last night. No! In the backyard of the creek. Do you wear a fun outfit or do you go in your street clothes? Ooh, that's a good question. We'll have to come to find out. Some outfits might come into play. I love bands that put on outfits.
Starting point is 00:13:20 Yeah. Get it together, guys. Abba. I can watch anybody play an instrument in a t-shirt We flare it up a little bit It's a fun time You have a favorite thing that's happened to you
Starting point is 00:13:32 or you've seen or done here at South by? Once again I'm disappointed by the festival What did it do to you this time? Because I just wish there were more things happening Doug There's just nothing to do If any Because I just wish there were more things happening, Doug. There's just nothing to do.
Starting point is 00:13:50 If any producers are listening, there's an empty broom closet at Starbucks right now. Get fucking Spoon down there to do a set real quick. Could they cram any more shit into this festival? There's like 87 music shows and then I'm walking down the street and they're like, well, but what about Bitcoin too? You're like, stop! Stop it! We don't need a tent for fucking
Starting point is 00:14:13 slack on Congress. I love the cupping of the microphone to get the message more directly into people's ears. I need to tell you this. You've been disregarding everything else that's happened, but this is important.
Starting point is 00:14:31 But great job, Joe. We've got to introduce our fourth guest. Yes. But first, real quick, Beth, did you come up with a favorite thing? No. Okay. No, I thought you were going to say that.
Starting point is 00:14:41 I know there was a lot of distractions. I know you weren't thinking about that. You were listening to the other guests. Now that I'm thinking about it, I wrestled a man in his garage. I forgot. I forgot that part. Now I worry that your special
Starting point is 00:14:58 might be word for word Chris Gethard things that he said. No, yeah. I've mostly been... Nine minute long emo stories with very few punchlines? That type of thing? I think this is always my way of finding out that comedians
Starting point is 00:15:13 come here and the last thing they do is stuff that's happening at the festival. They all just sort of run around the outskirts. I also got here kind of late-ish yesterday and I went straight to a podcast that I did, Jocular, and then I had a show here. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:31 And then I've just been... You've been doing stuff. Making love. You've said your favorite thing that you've had so far was your show. Did the show go well? It was fine. It was here, and it was fine. Not great?
Starting point is 00:15:46 I'm in an acquired taste, you know? I mean, I was putting myself out there. Right. I can't say that they met me halfway. I got you. I got you. I did one like that last night, too. We did.
Starting point is 00:16:04 We were both on that show. We were on a show together. Wait, last night, too. We did. We were both on that show. We were on a show together. Wait, last night here at 10? No. We were at a Sunset. I haven't been there yet. How's the vibe? Are the lights as bright as here?
Starting point is 00:16:13 No, dimmer lights. Okay. Yeah. I'm already going to do better, I know it. Hey, Beth, can I tell you something about this theater? Yeah. It's haunted. Esther's Folly's been here for quite a long time.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Yeah. It's haunted. Esther's Folly. It's been here for quite a long time. Yeah. And they do like a variety, topical variety music show here that's very popular. And I had to get them to turn their regular stage lights down by 50%
Starting point is 00:16:39 to get it this level of brightness. It could be 50% brighter. Are you serious? That's what they perform under when they're doing their follies. They have makeup on and shit.
Starting point is 00:16:55 I'm still recovering from last night's show. Honestly, I feel like I have a deep wrinkle here from this. From squinting. They're very nice to accommodate me having turned way down. I didn't know if people were here.
Starting point is 00:17:15 I bet if the lights were dimmer, there'd be no follies because they could see clearly. I'll laugh at that for you, Joe. Thank God the person who enjoyed it has a microphone. I like this.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Pass out the microphones to the audience members that are having the most fun, like Mike over there. All right, we've delayed this too long. This has now become suspenseful. Who is this man next to me? Who is next to Beth? Who is a regular contributor, guest, call him what you will, but don't call him Len. It's Leonard Maltin, everybody!
Starting point is 00:18:01 I wrote down that I think of you as the godfather of Doug Loves Movies. Because you instilled a love of movies in me through your work with the Leonard Maltin Review Guides that me and my family would own and argue over. No, not two and a half stars, that was three. Those kind of arguments. And I'd be like, really? Half a star? We're arguing about it? How you doing, Leonard?
Starting point is 00:18:32 I'm doing fine. That's good. I'm here with you guys on stage. Right? It's so fun up here. And I haven't been blinded completely yet. But I'm ready to confess to a crime. That's the vibe that I'm ready to confess to a crime that's the vibe that I'm getting from you
Starting point is 00:18:47 tell us the truth we're going to get it out of you we're going to get the truth out of you go ahead and turn him to a hundred I'm kidding, I'm kidding, please don't we don't get blown off the stage it'd be like those old sound commercials where the guy in the chair and his drink blows away.
Starting point is 00:19:06 All right, Laird, esteemed film critic, you must have attended at least one motion picture since your arrival here at South by Southwest. Two, to be precise. Two movies. I saw...
Starting point is 00:19:20 Did you see a winner? I saw two good ones. Two good ones. Two for two. Here we go. I saw two good ones. Two good ones. Two for two. Here we go. I saw My Dead Friend Zoe on Saturday. Directed by our friend Natalie Morales. Very cool.
Starting point is 00:19:31 At the Paramount Theater. It's fun just to be in the Paramount Theater. It's so cool. So fun. I like to point out the Houdini hole. There's like a hole in the ceiling, a little tiny hole of the Paramount Theater from when Houdini did like a trick where he needed to have some rope come through the ceiling, a little tiny hole of the Paramount Theater from when Houdini did a trick where he needed to have
Starting point is 00:19:45 some rope come through the ceiling. Oh, really? I call it the Houdini hole. That's cool. Might be made up. Might just be a hole. I just believe some guy sitting next to me. It's just termites that you
Starting point is 00:20:01 created a legend around? I mean, he did perform there, so it's plausible, but I don't know if it's true. And then I went out to Alamo Lamar, the Alamo Drafthouse on Lamar. Wonderful facility. To see a really good documentary about Dory Previn, who I've always admired, called On My Way to Where.
Starting point is 00:20:23 And it's a very good film, and I hope it has legs, I hope it has a long life, because people who don't know about her should, and people who are already fans of hers will learn a lot. Right on. Thanks. I also, you know, before we get into the game portion of the show, I'd like to ask everybody to recommend just one movie, something that you think people would enjoy.
Starting point is 00:20:52 It could be old, new, borrowed, blue. Joe, do you have a movie that you've seen lately or recently that you would recommend? Yeah, well, it's a rewatch, but I want to highly recommend it. I just got the 4K of Conan the Barbarian. I've been hearing that it's out there. Like, I've heard more than one person
Starting point is 00:21:20 talk about it. But this, I've seen Conan twice. I saw it once and I was like, yeah, it's pretty cool. I rewatched it and had to pause the movie to text my friend
Starting point is 00:21:32 that I do a movie podcast and I said, this might be the greatest movie that's ever been made. It's so amazing. It is a pitch perfect sword and sorcery movie. It's Arnold at his best. It looks amazing. John is a pitch perfect sword and sorcery movie. It's Arnold at his best.
Starting point is 00:21:46 It looks amazing. John Milius, it's so well directed. It's so perfectly written. It's so fun. James Earl Jones as the villain. Doom. Very scary. Yeah. He's scary. And turns into a snake.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Yeah, he does. It's just, it's an awesome Then he gets on a plane. What's that? Then he gets on a plane. Yeah, then he gets on a plane. Once he's a snake. Yeah, he does. It's just, it's an awesome. Then he gets on a plane. What's that? Then he gets on a plane. Yeah, then he gets on a plane. Once he's a snake. Yeah. That's what that movie is, right?
Starting point is 00:22:11 Yeah. It's a guy from Conan got on a plane. Some other snakes. But I got this set, it's that and Destroyer. Destroyer's not quite as good. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:22 And then there was Red Sonja. Did you like that? Red Sonja I've never seen, but Arnold has said on record several times it's the worst movie he's ever been in. He's been in
Starting point is 00:22:32 Herculean Lees in New York. Think about that statement for a minute. Let that sink in. Yeah. The worst movie he's ever been in. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:40 That has power. Yeah. That's quite a statement. They should feel really bad about themselves, the people involved in that movie. He's not, that's quite a statement. They should feel really bad about themselves, the people involved in that movie. He's just Eraser. Nope. Terminator Salvation. Nope. Terminator Genesis.
Starting point is 00:22:53 Nope. You're naming something. Anyway, do yourself a favor and watch Conan the Barbarian in 4K if you can. Yeah, definitely reach out to me if you do it and let me know how it worked out for you. Is that sarcasm?
Starting point is 00:23:12 I might watch it again. Why are you being shitty about my movie? Well, because I think you already said the words perfect sword and sorcery movie, so that lets some people out. Because some people are just already not interested in that. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:23:28 Whatever your least favorite genre is, if somebody goes, it's the perfect your least favorite genre, maybe you go, okay, great. Slow Burn is my least favorite kind of movie these days. But if somebody tells me beforehand,
Starting point is 00:23:44 it's the perfect slow burn I go there's not such a thing because I'm already not happy that there's a slow burn what's going to be perfect about it and sword and sorcery is up there with the word accounting for turn offs you know
Starting point is 00:23:58 it's weird too because I really like fantasy movies and I think a lot of people do see a lot of fantasy movies but for some reason sword Sword and Sorcery, that's another reason why I do think people should watch Conan the Barbarian again. It's because you're saying that it feels more like a real movie than a lot of those kind of movies do. It feels like an absolute film.
Starting point is 00:24:16 This is the last thing I'll say about it. Conan the Barbarian is the movie that should represent every 80s video store. Every 80s video store, when you think back and remember that and the cutouts and the fun and the artwork on the boxes, practical movie being made,
Starting point is 00:24:34 practical effects, that is the one where you go, this is every, that and Escape from New York are the two perfect, those are two perfect. All right, that's too many recommendations for me. We have to move on for one recommendation from Chris.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Oh no. I had two. I'm sorry. You have to pick one. No, he can do. I missed the boat. Two friends of mine wrote a movie.
Starting point is 00:24:57 I know everybody already saw it. I'm, I'm the father of a toddler. So I'm, my movie consumption is much slower than it used to be. I'm catching up on things I missed I just saw Dix the Musical and I thought it was so fucked up and insane and
Starting point is 00:25:10 aggressive and like balls to the wall funny with jokes but also just in its existence kind of a political statement I won't spoil it but the chorus of the last song is one of the most aggressive things I've ever seen committed to film
Starting point is 00:25:25 and I cannot believe A24 put their name on it in a way where I'm like kudos to you because that's fucking punk rock move. Those are two of your buddies wrote it? Yeah, Aaron Jackson and Josh Sharp were both UCB guys and Josh Sharp was a student of mine at UCB. Okay, yes. So that's why it's so good.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Dick's the musical. Yeah, yeah. He taught him everything he knows I had nothing to do with it but that show was a UCB show it was a show called Identical Twins at UCB can I do one little quick one and say
Starting point is 00:25:57 I know everybody in this room clearly already loves it but one movie I did get to see in the theater this season was Godzilla Minus One which was the fucking best. That movie was so good. It won the Oscar last night. This episode won't come out until next Monday, so people will be really sick about hearing about the Oscars
Starting point is 00:26:14 by then, but yeah, it won Best Special Effects. And all the people that went up to accept, they all had toy Godzillas in their hands and really cool shoes. They all had the same kind of weird shoes on. Wait, the Oscars happened? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:29 Last night. Last night. Yeah. I don't know why they didn't call up, make a phone call to Texas. Hey, South By, can you pick another date this year? Because we want to do the Oscars. Because the Oscars have been during South By twice now, and I don't like it at all.
Starting point is 00:26:47 I hope it happens earlier, because first of all, March is way too long of an awards season. It should be in February. But then also, not during South By, because there's no movie premiere. Like, nothing fun happens movie-wise on the day the Oscars are happening, because no stars are going to come in to do the red
Starting point is 00:27:06 carpet and stuff. So it's almost like a day off for South by Film in the middle of only five days. What's that, Beth? That's kind of why I hadn't seen anything exciting yet. That's very true. That's why my answer was so bad.
Starting point is 00:27:23 Don't dwell on that. I can't. Tell us the name of a movie that you'd like to recommend. Ooh. I love the movie Migration. It's a bit of an animated film and it stars one of our
Starting point is 00:27:38 friends Kumail Nanjiani and also one of my not friends Elizabeth Banks but I'd love to be friends if she wants to. And I just loved it. It was so fun. It was cool to hear Camille's voice as a duck. It was so sweet. And also Suncoast, Laura Chin's movie.
Starting point is 00:27:57 Oh, that's good. Oh, okay. That's really good. So everyone's just going to say two movies now. I see where this is headed. Yeah. Leonard, please do three. Please do three movies.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Just to make Doug happy. He's already done two. He's already on for two. So something outside of the festival, Leonard, would you care to take her Suncoast? Did you like that? Suncoast is very good. They gave it a one-week theater run,
Starting point is 00:28:28 but it was really made for Hulu. Yes. And it's very, very good. Laura Linney, and in a smallish part, Woody Harrelson, but he's very good. Exactly. And the young lady who turns out to be Tandy Newton's daughter. Oh, wow, I don't know if I knew that.
Starting point is 00:28:43 I didn't know that when I was watching the movie. That's wonderful. I know she's in one other thing. Now I can't remember what she was also in. Anyway, it's really good. Yeah. And Laura has a book called Acne that's an incredible read. Sun Coast.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Sun Coast. One word? One word. Yeah. Okay. Ask for it by name. Then my friend Monica Martin sang a song in it. She's my best friend.
Starting point is 00:29:07 It's great. In a scene in a limo. Oh. She's seen the cover of Green Gloves. It's really good. Can I say something? I also like...
Starting point is 00:29:19 I was about to say something, but yes, please. Oh, I didn't know you were. I was about to throw in a commercial, but what do you got? Oh, it seemed like you looked off in disgust. No, I was just making sure whatever we were talking about was done before moving on. I just wanted to compliment Leonard, not to blow smoke. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:39 But you mentioned Dream Team earlier. This is really cool to be up here with you, man. You're part of the Avengers of movie critics. It's you, Rex Reed. It's like if there were three Avengers. You are the three amigos of film critics, Leonard Baum.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Or some other group of three. At least they didn't go with the Stooges, but yes. Very kind. That was very sweet of you, Joe. I'm serious.'t go with the Stooges, but yes. That's very kind. That was very sweet of you, Joe. I'm serious. It's really... We don't think you're kidding.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Hey, I'm here for music, not comedy, people. Come see my band tonight, please. Please, just come see it. Please. I should introduce you that way. Don't raise any comedy expectations. Wait, but you don't sing acapella ever, do you? Yeah, it's all acapella Irish folk music.
Starting point is 00:30:35 No, I was just going to say, you can't sing here for us now. No, it's like a Bobby McFerrin kind of band. I play the instruments on my body. And your body's not available right now to demonstrate. No, I'm not going to sing right now. Your body's not available right now to demonstrate. No, no. I'm not going to sing right now. Your body's off duty right now. This is just fun times. I'm back.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Listen, Doug. What's that, Leonard? The Oscars last night, there was a nominated film that hasn't really played yet. It just qualified for Best Animated Feature called Robot Dreams.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Mm-hmm. And it's really good. It was made by a Spanish filmmaker who I guess lived in New York before 9-11. And that's what he is evoking here. It's from a graphic novel, I believe, or in the style of a graphic novel. Yeah, just the brief clip they showed,
Starting point is 00:31:21 the animation was really cool. Oh, it's really cool looking and cool in every way. Robot dreams. And what did you think about migration? Did you see migration? I did not. That's why I am silent. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:41 Well, thank you for all those wrecks, those hot wrecks. And we will be right back after these hot messages. We are back, and yeah, give it up for... Give it up for sitting through advertisements. During the break here at Esther's, we picked people that brought some fun name tags and such that will be played on behalf of during the games. Beth is playing for Zach Widow.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Chris is playing for Raising Andy Zona. Joe is playing for Charles in Charge of Comedians. And Leonard is playing for Cody the Pooh. What's the title of that horror movie? Blood and Honey? Yeah. So the whole title is Winnie the Pooh, colon, blood and honey? Or is it just Pooh, blood and Honey? Yeah. So the whole title is Winnie the Pooh, colon, Blood and Honey? Or is it just Pooh, Blood and Honey?
Starting point is 00:32:48 I think it's fully Winnie. It's like the sequel to Eat, Pray, Love? I might have to stop for today. It's not going to get any better than that for me. Okay. All right. So that's who y'all are playing for. And they're going to go home with this bag that they probably own the same bag already because they're attending the festival.
Starting point is 00:33:18 But maybe are any of the people that are being played for locals that aren't all badged up? You guys? Okay. Look at them. All right. Good for you. aren't all badged up. You guys? Okay, look at them. All right, good for you. All right, here we go. First game we're going to play today is called Purple Rain Man. Oh, people love it.
Starting point is 00:33:39 This is a movie mashup title game. Some of you may have played it before on episodes in the past i will name the third build people left to right of a mashup movie title that i put together that goes from left to right yell out just the people on stage yell out your guesses whenever they come to you third build is pretty tough, but then I'll say who the second build people are. You can still guess if you want. Then I'll tell you the top build people.
Starting point is 00:34:11 So now you know the three build people from the first half of the title and the three from the second. Hopefully you can put it all together. Yell out the right answer. Okay. He says, okay. I get it.
Starting point is 00:34:23 Thumbs up from Joe. The left to right part was confusing It's a hard game to describe quickly So I want to make sure it sunk in So like Purple Rain Man Right Purple Rain is the first part Top building that would be Prince
Starting point is 00:34:38 And Rain Man Is Dustin Hoffman Would be top building that So you're starting with third bill of the second half of the mashup? No, I'm starting with the third bill of both, but going left to right. Again, the left to right
Starting point is 00:34:54 part is... I don't think you need the left to right part. First half of the title, second half of the title? Got it. Okay. I got it. I've never even described it left to right like that before, so thank you for pointing out the flaw in that description.
Starting point is 00:35:10 I thought I was improving it and making it easy to understand. Got it. I apologize in advance to Zach. This is just the first game, Beth. Don't worry. They're only going to get harder. I mean, this is a tough game, but, don't worry. They're only going to get harder. I mean, this is a tough
Starting point is 00:35:27 game, but I think somebody's going to get it, so here we go. Third build. First half of the title, then second half of the title. Alison Brie and Yancey Butler. From the audience.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Yeah, you're right. This is not easy. But if anybody in the audience does think of it, please don't. Yancey Butler. Third build in a movie that you've heard of. Or maybe even seen. And loved.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Too many clues. You can guess now, but nobody knows it at this point. American Die. I'll tell you the second billed people. I am legend of Billie Jean. See, that's the kind of guess we're looking for. As incorrect as it is. He did take two titles.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Currently still winning. Technically still winning because I'm in it. Yeah, he's in it. Nobody else has jumped off the dock into the lake yet. I'm at a loss. Are we doing two movies? I mean, if I'm saying American Die, I mean hard. American Die hard.
Starting point is 00:36:29 There, now you got it. Now you got the idea of it. I don't know what American Die is. Yancey Butler. You mean American Pie? American Pie hard. Come out to the coast, fuck a pie, have a few laughs. Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.
Starting point is 00:36:53 Yippee-ki-yay. All right, second build. Let's focus. I'm trying. This should really help, because how often does this happen? Second build. Kevin Hart. I don't remember the first one.
Starting point is 00:37:09 And Lance Hendrickson. So the first movie's got Alison Brie and Kevin Hart. Oh! And the second movie's got Yancey Butler. I mean, yeah. And Lancey Hendrickson. Jumanji I feel That was fun though But that's incorrect
Starting point is 00:37:35 Get hard times Incorrect Okay but that felt close It felt like he was excited. There was something to that. Yeah, I didn't want to give away what something there was to it. Here's the top billed people. Will Ferrell.
Starting point is 00:37:53 Huh? Yep. And Jean-Claude Van Damme. Get hard target. Yes! I knew you'd know it! I got you there, you motherfucker. I got you there.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Okay, that's true. I got you there. What was it? Get Hard? Target. And I only put together Get Hard because my name spells Get Hard phonetically. Yeah, that's why I do it.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Had a feeling, you son of a bitch. Yeah, we discovered that another time when you were on. I always love when it loops back around in life. But congratulations, Joe DeRosa. He figured it out and yelled it out. And so he wins. And guess what? He just gets to go first in the next game.
Starting point is 00:38:38 That's all he won. Not really that big of a deal. But it is a fun game. I don't think Beth still doesn't understand the game. We're off of that game. It doesn't matter. Pretend you were on Jeopardy and now we're moving over to Wheel.
Starting point is 00:38:55 Let's go with the Wheel. And then whatever is the easiest game show. But actually, it all can be hard. You never know what you're going to know. I just didn't know the second movie. I understood the game. Okay. I didn't mean that to be derogatory. You're not a Jean-Claude Van Damme fan?
Starting point is 00:39:10 No. No. So then why would you know it? I didn't grow up with that. It's a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie. He's in New Orleans. He can do the splits between two parking meters. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, you split between... Right now, I feel like a 1980s movie. Clueless. You were on assignment reviewing movies when Hard Target came out. Did you have to see that one, or did you just have one of the Maltins minions watching?
Starting point is 00:39:48 Okay, so this next game is called ABC Deez Nuts! Nice. Which, as a title, doesn't deserve applause, but it is a fun game. It's a spelling game of sorts.
Starting point is 00:40:05 I'm going to tell you what the thing is that we're about to spell. And then we'll start with Joe. And he'll have the first letter in that thing. And you just have to name any movie that begins with that letter. And we move on to Chris with the next letter. He has to name any movie
Starting point is 00:40:21 that begins with that letter. But there's a theme, Joe. And I have written down in advance The next letter, he has to name any movie that begins with that letter. But there's a theme, Joe. Okay. And I have written down in advance one movie title for each of these letters. So whoever matches that title when it gets to them, they win the whole game automatically. Oh, so it's also random. But if you say a name of a movie that does begin with that letter, you stay in the game. So it's pretty easy to stay in the game.
Starting point is 00:40:46 Okay, I like this too. And you don't tell us the theme, I assume. No, that you have to figure out, and I bet you will. Okay. Just like you figured out Get Hard Target. I have faith in you that you'll figure out the theme. But then, figuring out the movie to match,
Starting point is 00:41:02 and that's in that theme, that'll be the tricky part. Okay. And the thing we're spelling, so you'll have kind of an idea what letter's going to be yours as we go through. Okay. We're spelling... He's going to be so exhausted, he's not going to be able to sing tonight. That's true. That's true. This is a lot of work. I also just pointed at you
Starting point is 00:41:17 because I was like, oh, I get it. Beth Spelling. Because I forgot your name was Stelling. I thought it was Spelling for a second. And I thought you were doing a play on her name and you're not at all. Not at all. I like where your head's at. Yeah, because you did it with Get Hard.
Starting point is 00:41:33 Yeah, don't worry about that. It's not going to happen again. I'm not going to do any plays on anybody's names except for what I'm about to say. What we're spelling is Maltin on Movies. So the first letter is M to Joe. Mask. Mask. Just
Starting point is 00:41:49 blurt out mask, not the mask. No, because that would start with a T, Doug. Exactly. You know how this works. You don't know who you're fucking with today. I think I do. I think I'm fucking with somebody who understands rules. Yeah, M. Like you know how it works, and I am agreeing. I came to do. I think I'm fucking with somebody who understands rules. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Like, you know how it works, and I am agreeing. I came to do two things at South by Southwest. Sing and play a fucking game show. So let's do this right now. I thought that was going to get a laugh. Minus A. You got nothing. They were just waiting for bubble gum or kicking ass
Starting point is 00:42:23 or some sort of twist on that old expression. And I'm all out of game shows. Yeah. They were just waiting for a punchline. That's all they were doing. I forgot how to do... It'd be funny if you get up there tonight and forget how to sing and just do your act.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Just tell them stories stories all the band watches the guitar starts I bought a plant the other day what is going on? what is happening? so we're spelling the phrase Malton on movies? yeah so he was M so I'm going to tell you what I wrote down
Starting point is 00:43:00 because now you can start thinking about what the theme must be I'll tell you right now you can start thinking about what the theme must be. Oh, you tell us. Yeah, I'll tell you right now that Joe did not match, but I did appreciate the guess. But I wrote down Moonlight. Okay.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Moonlight. So the next letter is A and it goes to you, Chris. Name any movie that begins with A that you think would also have something in common with Moonlight.
Starting point is 00:43:24 This is making me nervous. Something with Moonlight. Argo? Let me just double check here. That is the answer! You win! The game's over? Jesus. The fucking champ is here.
Starting point is 00:43:42 The fucking champ is here. I've been playing it real low-key. You win the whole game. I've been playing it low-key and low-status, but that was just to lull you all into a false sense of complicity. The fucking nature boy has arrived, everybody. I've never been more stressed
Starting point is 00:44:01 than I was leaving the movie Argo. I feel like my shoulders... I thought you were going to say having to go next in that game. No. I thought this would last a little longer, so Argo, fuck yourself. That's what they say in the movie. Worried people forgot, thought I was being overly aggressive. But great job, Chris.
Starting point is 00:44:21 I knew somebody would get it eventually, because it's all movies that have won Best Picture, spelling out Malton on movies. So we got Lawrence Arabia, Titanic, In the Heat of the Night, Nomadland, Oppenheimer, No Country for Old Men, Million Dollar Baby, Out of Africa, Vest Side Story, because no movie that begins with W,
Starting point is 00:44:46 has won an Oscar for Best Picture. Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, It Happened One Night. What about West Side Story? And Spotlight. It became a movie. What about it? I don't know. I felt like maybe West Side Story could have been a good one.
Starting point is 00:45:03 For which? What part? Just the theme. Oh, a theme for the whole thing? Yeah, I mean, they turned it into a movie. I don't know if it counts, but Moonlight? What's happening? The game's over.
Starting point is 00:45:16 I don't know. I'm just reading off all the correct answers, or what would have been the correct answers. I was counting on somebody to get it by Titanic, to be honest. Because when you say name a movie that begins with T, and you're already thinking about Oscars, I would think that one would pop into your head. Maybe The Godfather.
Starting point is 00:45:34 All right. So anyway, congratulations to Chris Gethard for winning that game. But that doesn't mean much at all. It just means that you're going to go first in our final game that we will play. It also means that I've got all the momentum and honestly that I feel good. I have a dopamine kick. It's like when I get
Starting point is 00:45:55 wordle into. I feel fucking awesome right now. I'm feeling really positive. And for a guy who recently got his ass beat in a garage, that's a good feeling. I don't like this version of you I prefer the suicide fucking Gethard and all of a sudden I'm like then why don't you fucking pipe down
Starting point is 00:46:16 and get out of my way I prefer suicide Gethard I'm kidding I do like this versionher. I'm kidding. No, it's all good. I know, yeah. I do like this version of you.
Starting point is 00:46:29 I've never seen you so spunky. Well, after you said that, it gets back. Yeah, I was going to say, dealing with the reality of you saying that Suicide Gether is back. No, stop it. You don't cheer me up.
Starting point is 00:46:39 My band is playing tonight. It's a good time. Who? I went, they got a really great happy hour at this Mexican food down the street. Talk about a salsa windfall. I'm just happy you remember the name. Thank you. It's burned in, burned in. It's too good
Starting point is 00:47:03 to not forget. Wait, what? All right. We got to go to commercial. We'll be right back. We're back. All right. So Chris Gethard won that last game. Good for you, Chris.
Starting point is 00:47:28 That, of course, just means you get to go first in our final game today. And it's something that I call last person standing. We're all sitting but it's called Last Person Standing because I'm going to give you the name of an actress and the four of you are going to
Starting point is 00:47:55 take turns naming movies that that actress has appeared in I'm bad at this I'm bad at this I figure you're all fairly well matched in this regard. This one is really built for malting. This one is a malting. You think? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:12 This game stresses me out. It's always the last game every time I'm on. And it's always been an actress every time I'm on. And I feel like it's only a matter of time before I repeat an actress that I've already done on the show. Yeah, and then you should be really good at it.
Starting point is 00:48:27 Okay. Yeah. I don't know. This one really stresses me out for some reason. You've done the research. But I already know who we're going to play today. I'm not going to play along like I do a lot of times because we don't have a ton of time. Sure.
Starting point is 00:48:41 And you might, who knows, might be good at it. If you miss, you're out? Yes. have a ton of time. Sure. And you might, who knows, might be good. If you miss your out? Yes, but you can go to your person whose name tag you chose. You can go to them once for assistance. So Joe will be looking for Charles and Chris will look over to Andy, get the thumbs up maybe if he can help you. Beth might need help from Zach. And Leonard has to go to Cody the poo.
Starting point is 00:49:15 You've got to count on a poo. But he'll be there for you. Unless there's honey. Then he'll be distracted. Okay, so I know it's a week out, but I'm unless there's honey then you'll be distracted okay so I know it's a week out but I'm still excited about last night's I mean all the performances
Starting point is 00:49:34 were terrific but I thought Emma Stone gave a singular performance that like no one else could do or maybe even would want to and she won her second oscar uh good old emily stone i learned that her name is not emma that's just her stage name hollywood's such bullshit right i'm just saying if you ever see in person you want her
Starting point is 00:50:00 to feel like you know her call her emily. Because that's what everybody calls her that's in her world. Anyway, even on IMDb it says Emily Emma Stone. Like it's a fun nickname. For a while mine said Douglas Doug Benson. Like anyone
Starting point is 00:50:18 calls me Douglas. But anyway, the point is it's Emma Stone movies. You have to name Emma Stone movies. Leonard, you know at least two. Son of a bitch. Also, I knew we'd be fighting the clock right now because there's lots of shows here at Esther's,
Starting point is 00:50:38 so we need to end lots of things to do here at South by Southwest. People are on a schedule. Applaud if you've got something to go to right after this. Yeah. If you go long on a show here, the audience will just start getting up and leaving because they've got their next thing they want to go to, and we made a pledge to them that this would be done at 5.15.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Remember when we went to the Michael Moore Film Festival and he introduced Film Festival and he introduced the movie and he talked for like 90 minutes? Talked for a long time. The guy in the audience goes, Mike, we got other stuff we gotta get to. And he walked off the stage. Yeah, he was very pissed. Yeah, that was
Starting point is 00:51:17 why. That there was like that Emperor's New Clothes person in the audience who just was just like, come on, man. We don't have time for a movie after a 90 minute speech. We don't have time for a movie after a 90 minute speech. We got shit to do in Traverse City. Alright, here we go.
Starting point is 00:51:33 Let's do this. So, which way were we going last? We were coming this way. So it's going to start with Joe and then... Chris won. Apologies, Chris. You won the last game. I had so little to hang on to It's true
Starting point is 00:51:46 Stop it Please Stop it Please Please take care Take care of yourself Reach out for help If you need it
Starting point is 00:51:54 I was feeling really great Until DeRosa really Rode me into the ground man A man A man beat on you In a garage earlier I'm the worst pain You're feeling today
Starting point is 00:52:04 By far And, I'll go super bad. We'll start simple with super bad. Super bad is an Emma Stone motion picture. First movie she was ever in, to be accurate, I believe. Then we go to Mr. Leonard Maltin. Wait, how is it not
Starting point is 00:52:19 right? I'm kidding. But we are switching the order around. It's Joe's up next. What? We're going to switch around the other way. Why would you do that? Because that's how I do kidding. But we are switching the order around. It's Joe's up next. What? We're going to switch around the other way. Why would you do that? Because that's how I do it. Every round, the order switches up.
Starting point is 00:52:34 Joe? Easy A. Okay. Was that one you were thinking of, Beth? Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry. You're fucked now. I really am.
Starting point is 00:52:43 I'm sorry. I took that one away from you. All right, Leonard. La La Land. La La Land. That was her first Oscar, of course. You were trying to think of La La Land? Poor Things.
Starting point is 00:52:57 Yes. Oh, shit. But she won the Oscar for it last night. That's why I didn't say it when I was talking about it. What's the one with Chris? Oh, you can't ask anybody what the title is.
Starting point is 00:53:10 Because that's the thing you need to know. I was just, my internal monologue was on the outside. Right, but people will answer you if you ask them politely. What was that one with I know the other actor. I could see it. They did the old timey thing. Do you want to do your lifeline? I think everybody's going to run out of steam fast on this one. I know the other actor? I could see it. They did the old-timey thing.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Do you want to do your lifeline? I think everybody's going to run out of steam fast. I know the show's got to move. Andy, help me out. Battle of the Sexes. Battle of the Sexes. Good one. That'd be so funny if Andy gave you an incorrect answer
Starting point is 00:53:37 just to drop your self-esteem even further. But yes, Battle of the Sexes was, I believe, the next movie she did after La La Land. Oh, Joe is so excited and snappy. Are you going to start singing now? No. No.
Starting point is 00:53:55 What do you got? Keep pumping the air. Sorry, I didn't realize it was pelvic thrusting. What do you got? Crazy Sexy Love. Yes, with weird punctuation in there. All right. Back to Leonard.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Birdman? What's that? Birdman. Oh, yeah, yeah. I thought you said burn man. I don't even know what that is. Birdman or the unexpected virtue of ignorance. I got a heater in my pocket.
Starting point is 00:54:26 You guys don't even know. Zach, I hope you take it. Zach, take whatever the heater is in his pocket. Yeah. Zach, do you have another one? Beth wants help, Zach. The Amazing Spider-Man. The Amazing Spider-Man.
Starting point is 00:54:39 Good job. Nice. Beth's still in it. Yeah. Chris. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Yeah, you did Thanks, Zach Heat it up, baby
Starting point is 00:54:51 That is how you play Amazing Spider-Man 2 has no subtitle So you got the exact correct title I don't want to use my heater yet But I might have to Well, if it's going to save time I'll go ahead and heat it up. Solitary Men.
Starting point is 00:55:15 What's that? It's the Woody Allen movie she was in. Oh, no. I think it's got a different name than that. Oh, you might have used... No. Too bad about that? Yeah. It's got a different name than that. You might have used... It's the Michael Douglas movie.
Starting point is 00:55:27 It's got a different name than that. No! I'm not going to kick you out. It's Something Man. Spider-Man! She refused. That's why she finally started winning awards. She stopped doing movies with man in the title, but no. She went to do the favorite. Ordinary Man!
Starting point is 00:55:44 Stop it. Sorry. You're, you might still think of it, but do you want to go to your lifeline or do you have another title? That was the heater? The heater. The heater was the wrong one? Yep. I thought the movie was called solitary man with her and Joaquin Phoenix.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Yeah. No matter how you describe it past her, it's not Solitary Man. No, I know. I know. I know she's not in the movie with that title. He's up on his feet. By the way, there's once in every time I'm on,
Starting point is 00:56:12 you have to reprimand me to shut up at a certain point. This is very Joe to this. Silence! I've made my decision. Don't give me the Woody Allen one, though. Give me a different one. Oh. Well, you can't do that.
Starting point is 00:56:22 Don't give him the Woody Allen one. Well, I mean, I guess they would maybe strategize that way anyway. Plus, call me crazy, but they don't know the title of the Woody Allen one, I bet. What? He doesn't know that one anyway. Superbad. Superbad was the first one out of the game. You're out!
Starting point is 00:56:39 Settle down, man. Hold on a second. You come with me with fucking Superbad? The most obvious fucking... Are you shitting me? I think I know one, but you might... The favorite.
Starting point is 00:56:53 There you go. The favorite. I did fuck up and say that one earlier. That's true. That's so funny. Okay. So good job.
Starting point is 00:57:03 So you used your lifeline, Jost. You're going to be you used your lifeline, Jost. You're going to be all on your own for the next one. Leonard, where are you? Oh, wait. Yeah. I need my lifeline's help. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Pooh, you got one? The help. The help. The help. Yeah. Pooh knows about the movie with the shit pie. about the movie with the shit pie. Hi, Beth.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Hey. What's up? I'm split between two. Oh, that's good. Two that you know for sure are the names? I'm almost positive. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:42 Do the one you're most positive about. Zombieland? Hmm? Zombiel positive. Okay. Do the one you're most positive about. Zombieland? Hmm? Zombieland. Yeah. I'm going to be honest, Doug. I'm almost definitely out.
Starting point is 00:57:54 Used my lifeline. What I will say is that Joe DeRosa has revealed that there's a Woody Allen movie. Yes. That's the one I was thinking of. I don't know it, but I am trying to think of the era of when she's been active. So I'm not sure
Starting point is 00:58:09 this is correct, but this is purely an effort to steal it from Joe. Wow, wow, wow, wow. To try to get revenge on him for being so callous about my issues
Starting point is 00:58:16 with depression and suicide. That being said, it doesn't resemble at all the phrase solitary man, but it is, I believe, a Woody Allen movie of an era
Starting point is 00:58:24 when she was active. Midnight in Paris? No, not in that? Even the audience is going, no. I felt it again. It was an incredible amount of... You're thinking of Owen Wilson.
Starting point is 00:58:36 Oh, yes. My other favorite redhead, yes. You know, Rachel McAdams was the woman in that one? I made it very clear that I knew it was wrong, and I was just trying to screw over DeRosa, but unfortunately... I was excited about where I was going,
Starting point is 00:58:51 because when you were saying it was not solitary, I agree. The word is very different from solitary. Did you think of it, Joe? No, but I will say Zombieland 2. Would you, if you knew that you'd get thrown out for not saying the correct title?
Starting point is 00:59:10 How many times would you take it back? I know, it's called Zombieland 2 Double Something. I mean, come on, man. It's called like... You know the double part, but not the other word?
Starting point is 00:59:25 Double what? What would they do I mean... It's called like... You know the double part, but not the other word? Double or something? Double what? What would they do double? It's called like... Double trouble? It's something provocative. It's like double pump or like double hatch or some shit. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:59:39 Double do... I mean, you might win this game just for getting part of a title, right? Zombieland 2, double... Oh, fuck off, man. Double up? Double mint. Go. Okay, I just want to do a quick poll.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Applaud if you know the right answer. Wow. Double... Wait, now, does anybody on stage know it? Leonard doesn't know it. Beth, do you know it? Leonard doesn't know it best. Do you know it? No.
Starting point is 01:00:07 Did you see the Zombieland movies? Not the second one. Not the second one. I barely remember names of the... It's even somewhat of a callback to the first movie, the title. I love this so much. Honestly, I didn't know there were... I think you're ultimately going to be...
Starting point is 01:00:24 Do you have another Emma Stone movie, Leonard? when it's your turn you think? I have one so Leonard's going to win this thing Leonard's going to win it's like double slap or double
Starting point is 01:00:39 double we've run long. We've got to wrap up. Zombieland 2, double the zombies! Even more zombies than last time! What's a rule? What's a rule when you're killing zombies
Starting point is 01:00:57 that you should do? What's a thing they teach you in those movies that is important to do? You have to shoot them in the head. Double what? Double shot. Wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:01:10 No, hold on. Why are you helping him? They're helping him two rounds in a row now. Please give me the head, please. I was so severely mocked for my guess of Midnight in Paris. You have to shoot them through the brain. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:22 Yeah. So you double what then? Double shot. Double kill? Double tap. Hey! That doesn't make any sense. Yes!
Starting point is 01:01:40 Double tap doesn't make any sense. Double click. It's just their way of saying you make sure they're dead by shooting them twice. By going like this and then they bite your hand while you're tapping them. Double tap them
Starting point is 01:01:52 if you want their attention. Excuse me. Excuse me. Pardon me. Sorry for the double tap. All right. So you're out, Joe. All right.
Starting point is 01:02:01 But it was really fun watching that. Thanks. I had fun. Beth really came through there. Does feel was really fun watching that. Thanks. I had fun. Beth really came through there. It does feel like a feeling for sure. But Leonard, what's your next Emily Stone film? Zombieland.
Starting point is 01:02:14 Oh no, we already said Zombieland. That's why we got into this Zombieland 2 nonsense. Well then, I'm out of the gas. Oh shit, Joe! I just remembered the Woody Allen movie. What is it? A Serious Man. No! God damn it!
Starting point is 01:02:29 No. No. A Simple Man. No. Serious Man was Coen Brothers. Simple Man was Ramey, Sam Ramey. Or no, that was Simple Plan. Anyway, Beth, do you have any more
Starting point is 01:02:45 Emma Stone movies? I... Yeah, thank you. I appreciate that. She got the tap part, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:52 But there was, that was a lot of help. I stole, and I stole the double tap. I still give Joe more credit than her for that one. But if you had one more,
Starting point is 01:03:01 then you'd win outright because Joe is definitely out of gas. I'm trying to think of that red-headed woman and stuff. Yeah. Picture Emma Stone in something. I'm really thinking about her. Just put it in your mind's eye.
Starting point is 01:03:16 Cruella! Oh, yeah. So Cruella's off the table. She was very good in that. Sometimes people can't take it. They sit here for too long just knowing that someone should be saying Cruella. She was very good in that.
Starting point is 01:03:30 It won Best Costumes at the Oscar that movie. It was great. It's really cool. Okay, anyway. So I'm going to call it because we've got to go. So I'm saying basically he got further in the game than anybody else but only by two of the words in the title.
Starting point is 01:03:47 And also, you kept saying man, which you should get a little credit for. He's called Irrational Man. God damn it. All right, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But congratulations, Joe DeRosa is our winner today. Oh, I love a cheap win.
Starting point is 01:04:01 Oh, it feels good. Joe with a super cheap win. Very exciting. Where was your person? Right there. Right there, there you go. Could you pass this back, please? Thank you so much.

Starting point is 01:06:58 And it's a wonderful conversation. Give us a tidbit of just what was the thing you learned about Frank Oz that maybe you didn't know or you found extra fascinating um i just listen to it is that what you're trying to tell me yeah he's he's he was very warm and very generous in his in his memories but it's hard to isolate factoids out of it it was almost too much of that like it was odd to hear it once you'd probably enjoy hearing it again. Yeah. But it's true.
Starting point is 01:07:29 I'm going to listen to it. Also, since we're doing recommendations all during the show, I watched Bowfinger again last week. Yeah, you still love it? Yeah. Eddie Murphy is so... Steve Martin's always great.
Starting point is 01:07:44 Eddie Murphy is extraordinarily good in is always great Eddie Murphy is extraordinarily good in that movie he's so funny in so many things but that's definitely one of them that's up there because he's not acting like Eddie Murphy it's a real character the podcast is called Malton on Movies you can get it wherever you get podcasts
