Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds with 50 azepam or kernels in his teeth. There's still a more than he won't see because of the movie. Hey, hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug, and I love movies. This is Bob Love Movies. Coming to you once again from the Old Town Playhouse in Traverse City, Michigan. Yeah! Playhouse in Traverse City, Michigan! I feel like my mic is a little hot,
Starting point is 00:00:54 so whoever is in charge of such things, just maybe dial it down just a tad. But we'll see as we go along here how it works out. Thank you all for taking a moment out of your film festival schedule to attend. Thank you for, I can already see that there are some name tags here, which is always very exciting at a film festival because you have to carry that shit around
Starting point is 00:01:19 all day. It's Thursday, August 1st. did everybody get their rent paid? yeah I rarely do for some reason it's rarely the first of the month when I do a show so I really want to do that public service and make sure that everybody's taking care of themselves with that and
Starting point is 00:01:39 real quickly let me get out of the way of my Doug plugs next week I'm going to be at the Secret Group in Houston for two shows. Stand-up Wednesday, August 7th, and then Doug Loves Movies on Thursday, August 8th. Both shows at 8 o'clock. And then
Starting point is 00:01:56 on Saturday, August 10th, I'm doing Doug Loves Movies at the Improv in Miami, Florida. First time in that spot. So please come out Floridians. For all of my dates and deets, go to Douglovesmovies.com
Starting point is 00:02:12 That's Douglovesmovies.com Yeah! Go for it! Shh! I love the house lights are up for some reason, which is cool. You could go ahead and turn those off probably.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Yes. But it was fun during that to see everybody's faces because every fifth or sixth face had no idea what was happening. No idea why everybody's chanting all those crazy things. I'd like to do a dugout really quickly. I'd like to give a dugout to the stupid motherfuckers that I threw out of the last show in San Francisco. I just want to say, if they listen to the show, I don't think they do. I think that was part of the miscommunication between them thinking they could just sit there and chat amongst themselves the whole time. Maybe because they thought that's how podcasts work or something.
Starting point is 00:03:16 I don't know. But maybe they're explaining what was happening to each other. Because I can understand that. But they just wouldn't respond when I would ask them what their problem was, so I told them to get the hell out, and called them, I think, the stupidest motherfucker, one of them I called the stupidest motherfucker I've ever seen, I think, anyway, so apologies to them, and you know, just, you know, just, it's just a life apologies to them, and, you know, just, you know, it's just a life tip to them, just shut the fuck up, and then people like me won't yell at them anymore.
Starting point is 00:03:53 And as a tribute to them, just because I like shaking things up, and it'll be funny when I say it to an audience that doesn't understand why I'm saying it, the opening of the show from now on, I'm going to say, hey, hey, hey, stupid motherfuckers. Because ultimately, we're all stupid motherfuckers at one moment or another in time. I brought a lot of fun prizes for you guys. I should say they were contributed, donated by awesome people. When I was
Starting point is 00:04:26 in San Francisco, there's a lady there. Oh, God, now I'm going to screw up her name. I want to say her name's Jenica. She made these donuts that are suitable for chucking into crowds without making a mess. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:42 So I'm going to have some of these. I'll put some in the prize bag, but I'll also hang on to a few and chuck them at you guys during the show tonight. And then from our friends at IFC, we got a book called Wildlife. And now it's a major motion picture. Oh, yeah, I saw that with Carey Mulligan and Jake Gyllenhaal. I saw the movie. Not going to read the book. Because I'm giving it to you guys. And then they gave us a Blu-ray of a movie called Ghost Stories and a DVD of The Death of Stalin.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Which is very funny. It's from the guy who created Veep. And we got some Douglas Movie stickers and a Rockin' Pin Doug Benson pin. You go to rockinpins.com to purchase one if you want one. Plus, I think we have some with me here if anybody wants to come up to me at the festival
Starting point is 00:05:32 and acquire one. Oh, and this bag is from Purple Rose Supply, which is probably a weed thing. All of that, plus stuff brought by my three guests who are all here to do various things at this festival, and we'll talk all about that as soon as I introduce you to Dan Schechter, Joe DeRosa, and Sam the Ma'am Levine, a.k.a. Lil' Logan.
Starting point is 00:06:10 Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, hello, white dudes. I don't see color, Doug. All right. Hey, dudes. Let's meet them individually, starting with the man to my left. It's Dan Schechter, everybody.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Hello. Who I met at this very festival. It's our friendiversary. It really is. So now it's been how many years since that one? That was 2014. Five years? Oh, Lord. It was behind a flash.
Starting point is 00:06:51 It's been five years since I threw Owner Tuchel off of this show on this stage. Yeah. Wow. How many people just round of applause was here for that? Who was here for that? Holy, that's so fucking funny. Oh, that brings me so much joy.
Starting point is 00:07:10 It's almost like you just keep coming back hoping that's going to happen again. But then, of course, the next day we had drinks, hanging out. When you're in Traverse City, everybody's pretty nice. So we got along great. And then I made the mistake of having him on the show again out in L.A. And the same thing happened, only much worse. So, yeah. So it's been interesting.
Starting point is 00:07:35 But you, I met you that year because you had a film playing here at the festival. Yeah. Because you are a director and writer of films. Yeah. Yeah. festival yeah because you are a director and writer of films yeah yeah and you've got one playing at this the festival this time that's why you're back that is accurate yeah tell us about it okay uh it's called safe spaces it stars justin long and fran drescher and richard shift it's playing uh i guess it won't really matter to people listening at home for you guys it's playing over the next uh i think tomorrow at nine and sat you guys, it's playing over the next I think tomorrow at 9 and Saturday at 6. It's, I don't know, a
Starting point is 00:08:07 comedy about a college professor who does something kind of borderline fucked up and gets in trouble and kind of gets real defensive about it and it's debated throughout the film and then also some personal family stuff. Yeah, and it's kind of
Starting point is 00:08:23 the debate is a very interesting because you can you know you could see both sides of it but you'll probably have your own side yeah in the situation and playing twice here at the festival so check it out what's why you laughing at that just trying to get him to go see your movie and then what and then what about the rest of the world when the command can they see it what's the story with it? I was going to mention that in plugs.
Starting point is 00:08:47 I think it's going to come out in November, December of this year like in some theaters VOD kind of deal or something like that. So yeah, we got some kind of distribution.
Starting point is 00:08:55 I'm very pleased. Okay, great. Good for you. Thank you. Yeah. All right. Calm down. Sitting next to Dan
Starting point is 00:09:05 Is my buddy Joe DeRosa Hi Hi Doug Hey dude How you doing? I'm good How you doing? Good man
Starting point is 00:09:15 Good Isn't this place fun? Isn't Traverse City awesome? Very fun I haven't been here in 10 years And the last time I was here I also got into an incident With a man
Starting point is 00:09:24 On a stage And we did not drink afterwards. He in fact requested I never be invited back to this place. And then like an editorial was written in the local paper about you. Something. That's what I heard. Yeah. I heard that too.
Starting point is 00:09:41 You're a real. Yeah. It was a real scandal when Joe DeRosa rolls through town. Jeez. Lock up your children. Yeah, I mean, I'm a little afraid
Starting point is 00:09:53 to walk around outside. I don't know what's going to happen out there. I don't know who's mad at you. You know, man... Maybe that person's in the audience tonight. Are you out there, sir?
Starting point is 00:10:03 That screamed, you're pushing it, buddy, In the middle of my joke. That is a, that is a great heckle. Yeah. You're pushing it. Tread lightly. Yeah. Yeah. Watch your step, pal. Yeah. He didn't, uh, yeah, it was a, it was a religious joke he did not care for. Uh, and then I prayed on stage. I prayed to God that that man get into a horrid car accident on his, on his way home. And then another person, a lady started yelling at me that it was okay to wish harm on the man, but not through car accidents, because car accidents are not funny.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Real rollercoaster ride last time here in Traverse City. Here we are again. Well, this is a good time to bring up that that was during the comedy festival in the dead of winter, which is quite brutal here. And they just announced that the comedy festival is going to be back again next year. Nice. And strangely, I don't think they had to say this. They announced that Joe DeRosa is not invited. That seems harsh.
Starting point is 00:11:24 We're going to do, I'm going to do a round table discussion with that man and woman on stage. Called Healing. So fun to watch. We have another veteran of visiting Traverse City during festival time, and that's Sam Levine!
Starting point is 00:11:42 Oh, hello! Thank you! Thank you! time and that's sam levine hello oh thank you thank you sam which festival do you prefer the cherry festival or the film festival um i prefer the film festival it's tastier i'm not really a cherry guy you don't like cherries I mean like I'll eat like a fresh like picked cherry but I hate that you gotta watch out for the pits
Starting point is 00:12:10 chip your teeth and then I don't like cherry flavored things like cherry pie I'm not a fan of cherry flavored pie? cherry flavored pie not a fan those are real cherries in there. Yeah, but they don't...
Starting point is 00:12:26 And they took the pits out for you. But they don't taste like I want them to taste. Now they're all warm. Why don't you let a cherry just be and let it express itself the way it chooses to? I'm not stopping the cherry from expressing itself. I'm just saying I don't enjoy it, so I let it express itself to others. That sounds racist to me. You're really right at it again, aren't you sorry uh let's talk prize bag did you guys bring stuff yes what do you got
Starting point is 00:12:57 sam oh i brought some magical treats all the way from los angeles because I know there are nerds here. Don't act like you're not. You guys want these Star Wars collectibles figures. It's the Titanium series. There's a Millennium Falcon in there. I see an X-Wing, a TIE Fighter, and something else. I don't know. I'm not that big a nerd. No, I am. And then, oh, here's a fun one. A little baby Chewbacca bobblehead dealie.
Starting point is 00:13:33 Looks like Groot. Looks like Groot. Yep. And then a mug, a very nice mug with Yoda on it that says Jedi on this side and Yoda on this side and it perfectly fits the Chewbacca.
Starting point is 00:13:51 And then last but not least, kids, make sure you get your parents' permission before playing with this one. It's a lightsaber! Make it light up. Make it light up. Make it light up. There's no batteries in this stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:11 But wait, what if I use the force? All right, then open up one end and put your dick in it. Hey, I forgot to mention, they sell booze here at the Old Town Playhouse now. Hey, I forgot to mention they sell booze here at the Old Town Playhouse now. It's not just for the performers anymore. What do you got for us, Joe? Well, I forgot about the prize bag because I was flying overnight and I forgot.
Starting point is 00:14:40 So was Sam. Sam remembered. He's a better person. But luckily backstage, they had four of the worst snacks I have ever seen in my life. Starting with roasted seaweed, which we've all seen at this point. That's nothing new. That's been around for a while. Then a bag of French beans. And I was like, oh, I guess they're dried out beans. And on the back, it's like, no, they're just beans in this fucking bag.
Starting point is 00:15:11 And then... Sprouted organic snacking seeds. Doesn't that sound like fun? During a movie? And then this one, I can't even wrap my head around it. It's 88 acres vanilla spice sunflower seed butter
Starting point is 00:15:31 that there was nothing to spread it on. So I can only assume you're supposed to eat it right out of the case. No, you're supposed to put it on the seaweed. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:15:41 For Christ's sakes, people, eat a fucking Dorito. Oh, and then also the serving tray too. I don't think we're supposed to take that. Alright. They said I could have it. Pretty nice tray. All the stuff. And then I got I was like late, you know.
Starting point is 00:15:58 I just flew in, so I went to Kilwin's and I got this giant bag of caramel popcorn that has a drizzle of milk chocolate on it. And then, I guess because Michael, oh no, we dropped all the snacks. Duh. I tried to dump the tray and everything
Starting point is 00:16:16 into the bag and missed completely. All right, and I got a hat here, I guess in honor of all Michael Moore. So he gave a Traverse City 2019 hat. side of a let's see a tote bag from it's just a good local business the good bowl enlightened vietnamese food so you get the tote bag as well and i think sam gave you one also so it's true it's a nice bag yeah i mean this whoever wins is totes going to be happy. All right. So somebody's going to win all that stuff tonight.
Starting point is 00:16:53 But before we get to the game portion of the show, let's talk about movies a little bit. Dan Schechter, film director. That's probably why you got into the game, just because it rhymes. What was the last movie you saw? I saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood for the second time. You've seen it twice.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Yeah. Did you like it? I told you that I had to pee and I missed this one part and I really wanted to see what happened in that second part. So I had that AMCA list pass. So now I go see movies like twice sometimes. So you, approximately how far into it did you go pee? I don't want to give anything away. Well, but I've seen it, so that's what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:17:32 I just want to get an idea of it. It's a nice scene, but it looked like not an action set piece where he sits down next to this lovely young girl on set, and they have a really cool chat, and so I didn't know what happened. Yeah, it's good to double back and see that scene, for sure. Yeah, but I don't know, man. I dig that movie. It got into me.
Starting point is 00:17:47 I've been thinking about it a lot since. I listen to the soundtrack. I'm reading all the tweets and articles and stuff. I don't know. It got under my skin. I really enjoy it. I think I might even go back and see it again at some point, just one more time. I want to read it.
Starting point is 00:17:59 I don't know if they put those scripts out. That's pretty unusual for a super long movie. The last long movie that I saw that I wanted to keep seeing it in theaters was i think magnolia like really got to me and i saw that a few times in theaters but that's uh that's quite a commitment there dan yeah i don't know yeah you're into it i like watching those two dudes they were great i i think they're both amazing amazing there's such there's there's so much funnier than anyone would ever give them credit for because they're good looking so I just now that I think about it I hate both of them
Starting point is 00:18:30 Joe what was the last movie you saw Joe in the theater it was Once Upon a Time in Hollywood but just yesterday before I got on the plane oh wait so the last movie you saw literally the last movie okay yeah that's what I was asking yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:18:44 you don't have to go back two or three movies you can go? Literally the last movie. Okay, yeah. That's what I was asking. Yeah, yeah. You don't have to go back two or three movies. You can go right to the last one. Thanks for having me. I re-watched Clue last night. What? Which one was your favorite ending?
Starting point is 00:19:03 All the endings are so good. I mean, the best ending is the final ending where Michael McKean... I love movies that end like an old sitcom. So Michael McKean going, I'm going to go home and have sex with my wife. Freeze frame, shake, rattle, and roll kicks in. That's unbelievable. Only to be rivaled by the ending of Easy Money where Rodney D'Angelo has a piece of pizza and he's using his ascot as a napkin. And he goes, my mother-in-law,
Starting point is 00:19:34 for years I wouldn't kiss her face. I ended up kissing her ass. Freeze frame. And then the song Easy Money by Billy Joel kicks in. I'm just like, that's such a great way to end a movie. Well, I mean, the classic one, speaking of Dangerfield, is we're all gonna get laid! Cut to Dancing Gopher and Kenny Loggins. But
Starting point is 00:19:59 I just, it was, like, I hadn't seen Clue in a few years, so it was just amazing watching it again. Every single person hits a grand slam in that movie, but I was particularly swept away by Madeline Kahn and Tim Curry, and it was just awesome. Can I recommend Young Frankenstein and Rocky Horror? Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:21 Yeah, because those are great movies that they are in. Yeah. You don't have to sit through Clue. Oh, you don't sit... Oh, wait. I don't like Clue. You're one of these people that doesn't... I'm a Clue hater.
Starting point is 00:20:35 There are people... It sounds like you're Clueless in my book. Clueless is a much better movie. Oh, my God. Much better. Yeah, without question. Yeah, without question. You think Clueless is better than Cl Oh my God. Much better. Yeah, without question. Yeah, without question. You think Clueless is better than Clue?
Starting point is 00:20:49 Yeah. Where do you guys stand on Clute? I don't, because she seems like a nice lady. Joe's really spinning out here. Fired up. I can't believe you don't like I'm just shocked I was too when I saw it
Starting point is 00:21:08 because as a fan of all those actors they're all amazing comedy actors and I like them in all those other things like Mel Brooks things and of course Martin Mull is amazing on his TV show but yeah it never worked for me. And I even got
Starting point is 00:21:25 forced to revisit it because people kept insisting it's great. And when I revisited it, I was still like, I, I don't know what's going on here. I don't get it. I'm going to say something to you. And I'm a, I'm a Mel Brooks fan. Clue is funnier than any Mel Brooks movie.
Starting point is 00:21:41 That is insane. That's an insane statement. Except for young Frankenstein, maybe. Hashtag year off of DeRosa, everybody. Go ahead. Go ahead and let us know. I think it's funnier. You better watch it, buddy.
Starting point is 00:21:54 Yeah. Or whatever that guy said. Yeah. You're pushing it. You're pushing it, buddy. No, but we do understand now how much you love it, because those Mel Brooks movies are... I'm not knocking Mel. Mel's great.
Starting point is 00:22:06 He won an Oscar for one of them. Clue got nominated for nothing. You know, some people don't do it for the awards. That's true. You know what I mean? Yeah. They do it to find out who done it. They said the actor's the script, but they left out the last pages, so they all said yes just to find out.
Starting point is 00:22:27 I don't know. Maybe it's a shitty movie. You got me doubting myself. Wait, don't groan at me twice. I said it was better than any Mel Brooks movie, you booed. Then I go, maybe it's not good. There's a large area in there, Joe. That was a crazy statement,
Starting point is 00:22:48 but there's plenty of them that think Clue's fine. They like it. Fine. There's nobody that's like a Clue fanatic like you. It's better than any. There's no Clunatics out here. Who's the biggest Clunatic? There's a lady out there. You are?
Starting point is 00:23:04 You love it? How many times have you seen it? 70? Holy shit. That's fucking crazy. Sounds like you got a place to flop tonight, Joe. No, I love it. Go watch Clue with this lovely couple.
Starting point is 00:23:20 I love it. I think you should revisit it. Oh, god damn it. I revisited it. I already revisited it once. Oh, god damn it. I revisited it. I already revisited it once. Why do I have to do it again? I don't know. You know, just...
Starting point is 00:23:31 All right. As long as I don't have to watch Hook again, I'm fine. Yeah, it's another one. I'm with you on Hook. Oh, see, that's another one. It really divides people. Hook? You merely bring it up and people start chanting in the audience.
Starting point is 00:23:46 Oh, god. Hook is just a... Rufio! Rufio! See, I told you. I had to egg him on, but they did it. Even when I was 11, I was watching Hook like, fuck this movie. Yeah, I was pretty young the first time
Starting point is 00:24:03 I saw it, and I was like, I don't like this at all. Yeah. And then I did revisit it because people were chanting Rufio at me all the time. And it fucking sucks. It's terrible. That little kid,
Starting point is 00:24:15 he gets on the plane, he's got a baseball and he's throwing it against the ceiling and no one is telling him to stop doing it? Yeah. On a commercial airline,
Starting point is 00:24:23 you're going to let a kid do that? Yeah. Hook is like, did you ever want to let a kid do that? Yeah. Hook is like, did you ever want to see a less edgy Goonies? Do you want to see Mrs. Doubtfire without the political statement?
Starting point is 00:24:42 Sam, you're looking at your phone. Do you have a screening to get to? No, I was just checking to see what the tomato critic, meta critic to Rotten Tomatoes said about... Which one? I wasn't actually. Oh, I was so excited.
Starting point is 00:24:55 I was so excited you were going to give us the rating for Clue or something. I probably can do that pretty quickly. Would you want Clute or Clueless? I don't care about those other two. I just want to know about Clue. Oh, I know how Clue did with the critics. I feel like not well.
Starting point is 00:25:11 I looked it up last night. It's not very high. It's certified fresh, but not by a lot. It is not certified fresh. It is at 59%. Which is one off of being certified fresh. But audience score, 86%. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:28 Oh, what do they know? At this point, nobody is rating this movie who's like, just seeing it for the first time. Only people who like it are rating it. Yeah. People who don't like it are not seeing it and not rating it. They're like, no, I'm not going to see the movie. It's not a good movie that I don't like.
Starting point is 00:25:46 But that's okay. I like Clue. It's my ex-girlfriend's favorite movie. Yeah, this is a true fact, guys. That's why we broke up. No, it's not. So I had to watch it a couple times. And it has funny moments.
Starting point is 00:26:01 But then there are long stretches where I don't think anything particularly funny happens. Because they're trying to keep the, you know. I'll go one further. It was directed by the man who directed My Cousin Vinny. That's a better movie. I would accept that premise. I don't agree, but I would accept it. My Cousin Vinny is amazing.
Starting point is 00:26:21 It holds up remarkably well. That's an Academy Award winning film. Yeah, people love to say, you know, that Marissa Tomei didn't actually win the Oscar. It was a mistake or something. You know, there's people. But she is so good in that. She's fantastic in it. What was that Mel Brooks Oscar you were mentioning?
Starting point is 00:26:35 Was it producers? He won a screenplay for producers, yeah. I was just curious. Yeah. That's all I'm thinking about. I love it. Let's go back any time you want to fact check something. What was the last movie you saw, Sam?
Starting point is 00:26:47 I rewatched Kick-Ass last night. That's an interesting movie to go back to. Why? It was on. I still have cable, and so I'm at the mercy of the jukebox. And it was on, and I hadn't seen it since I saw it in theaters, and I was like, let me re-watch this. I don't remember a whole lot about it. Holds up good?
Starting point is 00:27:08 There are great moments in that movie. I forgot honestly, I don't think we give Nick Cage enough credit for how great he is in that movie. Oh, he's so good in that. Yeah. Such a fun choice that he's like, oh, I'll do the Adam West Batman. Yeah. It's so perfect. It's so hilarious the whole time.
Starting point is 00:27:24 He's terrific in it. And Chloe Grace Moretz is great in it. And there's a lot of, like, Mark Strong is in there. And somebody else that is famous. Wait, is this, are you trying to name everybody in the movie? No, I was trying to think about other people. I was like, oh, I forgot they were in this. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:43 There's at least one other person who... Nah, I don't remember. Boy, I sure hope that's not on the games tonight. I might have been drinking wine. I think you were probably searching for Christopher Mintz-Plasse? Nope.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Nope, an adult. An adult actor. Oh, an adult actor that's also in that movie? This is a fun game. Well, a grown-up. A grown-up actor. Yeah, I can't think of it. It was somebody I was like, oh, I forgot he's in this too.
Starting point is 00:28:14 What's the name of the guy that plays Kick-Ass? Aaron Taylor Johnson. Yeah, amazing actor. Yeah, he's quite good. Like, he's very good. I saw him in a movie I don't think anyone's seen called Now nowhere boy uh which was a biopic they did about john lennon as a teenager um and it's it's the movie's okay but he is great in it uh and it was kind of a weird story if you like john lennon specifically not the beatles uh and you didn't know his backstory which i didn't
Starting point is 00:28:43 before seeing the movie, check it out. That poor kid had a fucked up childhood. I didn't know that. And it really informed me about the stuff he did when he was an older guy with Yoko. Does Norwegian wood make sense now? A little bit. Okay.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Yeah. I don't even know if you wrote that one. All right. Thanks, guys. That's the end of our What We've Seen Recently movie roundup. I just came from a shorts screening over at the Bijou, and it was super fun, but I don't have a favorite really to talk about. There was one called Bodega that I was seeing for the second time
Starting point is 00:29:22 because I think it got nominated for an Oscar last time out. And I enjoyed it again very much. Turn it off, Bert. Let the games begin! To signify the beginning of the games, I'm going to throw a fake donut out into the audience. And I can't be particularly accurate because they're very light. By the beginning of the games, I'm going to throw a fake donut out into the audience. And I can't be particularly accurate because they're very light. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:29:53 There you go. Nice catch, sir. All right. So people brought name tags. Lots of good name tags. We got the front row is like all name tags. This makes it so hard. So just go ahead, fellas.
Starting point is 00:30:09 All right. Pick a name tag. Go grab it from them. Bring it back. Is there any in the balcony? When you guys know that I'm coming. No balcony name tags. You make so many good ones. I know.
Starting point is 00:30:17 There's so many good ones. That's great. That's great. While Sam works this out, we're going to go to a brief commercial message. We'll be right back. Did you take a? Oh, good. Today's show is brought to you in part by Good Boys. What if the guys who made some of the most outrageous R-rated comedies
Starting point is 00:30:33 like Superbad and Sausage Party decided to make an R-rated comedy starring 12-year-old boys? Well, they did, and the result is the hilarious new movie Good Boys. Good Boys follows three in-over-their-heads eighth graders as they skip school one day to do whatever it takes to learn how to kiss before their first middle school party. But they're completely clueless about all the inappropriate situations they get themselves into along the way, like accidentally getting involved in a drug deal, causing crazy car crashes, and mistaking sex toys as nunchucks. You've never seen a movie like this before,
Starting point is 00:31:16 with innocent 12-year-olds trying to navigate an adult world full of sex, drugs, violence, and profanity. It's super inappropriate and R-rated, but there's also a sweetness to the movie with the boys' friendships at the center of it all. Ever since South by Southwest, early audiences and critics have been raving about Good Boys, saying that you'll laugh for 90 minutes straight. They're calling it delightfully inappropriate, wildly raunchy,
Starting point is 00:31:38 and undeniably sweet. Check out Good Boys in theaters August 16th. Back to the show. All right, we're back. Who are we playing for, guys? I'm playing for Aladdin, which I was eyeballing. Just got my name in it. A lot of good Photoshop work here.
Starting point is 00:31:56 Sam's in it a couple times. Yeah, he is. As Aladdin, as Jasmine, you're the Will Smith genie. Sam is also the sultan, I think. And Jeff Tate is... Apu? Yep. Abu.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Abu. Abu. Monkey. And then... Yeah. But he kept you far. It's beautiful. It's really beautiful.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Yeah, it's a good one. And hats off for finding the picture of me as the Hitler's portrait painter from Bastards. Okay. All right, what do you got there, Joe? I'm playing for B. Ryan, which... It's just, what's the B for? His character's name is Brian in Fast and Furious. Oh, his name's Ryan, but Brian was in Fast and Furious.
Starting point is 00:32:42 Okay. And... I just took it because it looks like a... That's his Paul Walker character, and that and Furious. Okay. And I just took it because it looks like a Paul Walker character and that's his car. Okay. I just took it because it's a working remote control car. Pretty cool. You know, I've never seen that.
Starting point is 00:32:55 That's clearly some time and minimal effort went into this. Yeah, you just put a post-it on the... Who's that guy on the car, though? I got to be honest, I looked at the face. I don't even know who it is. Is that Paul Walker? Or that's you? That's Ryan.
Starting point is 00:33:11 You put yourself on it. Hey, here's a fun game. This will be fun. Move it over so it's pointed towards Ryan, and then see if you can make it jump off the stage into his lap. I mean, I definitely can do this. Ryan, are you down?
Starting point is 00:33:33 This is like smoking the bandit when the bridge is out. Here we go. Here we go. No, man, not the NOS. Marty, you gotta get it up to 88. Oh! Oh, shit. That went Thelma and Louise on us.
Starting point is 00:33:57 That just dropped. You got to really get some momentum. There's no ramp is part of the problem. I think the wire is the mic wire. Okay, here we go. Turbo does nothing, by the way. Oh, wait, the wire, yeah. All right, do it.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Whoa. Got to get this thing up to 88. Ready, start. Oh! Oh! We're totally going to fuck up this guy's car. Pretty fucked up. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Do you have a ride home? Are you okay? Are you going to be able to get home? Okay, he's going to Uber home. Let's just do it one more time. Let's just do it where I throw it at you. That'll work better. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:43 All right. And who are you playing for, Sam? I'm playing for Inglourious Zackstards, as well as Not Angela Teen Movie. They have crammed two films that I am in on this one piece of moving box cardboard. They're both Sam Levine titles. Yeah. And yeah, it's beautiful.
Starting point is 00:35:00 There's some pictures of you and me on here, and even one of our pal Leonard Moulton. Did you know that in China, they call a cardboard box a paper cage? I did not know that. It happened in a movie I saw today. Oh. It was not a funny movie, but that was funny to me. Oh.
Starting point is 00:35:26 All right. So that's who you guys are playing for. One of those people is going to win all the prizes. These dudes, from this point forward, these dudes are all going to be competing in movie trivia games. So if you know the answer out there in the audience, which I know you will at one point or another, please don't yell out because we're going to just keep it between them until we have a winner.
Starting point is 00:35:44 The first game is called Purple Rain Man. I've been confusing panelists for years with this one. It's also known as Good Will Hunting Glorious Bastards. It was another one we did one time. So I'm going to name the third build people in this movie mashup title and just jump in and guess as often as you'd like.
Starting point is 00:36:11 And we'll see what happens. Third build is Margot Robbie and Diane Lane. The Wolf of Wall Streets of Fire. Holy shit! I believe Diane Lane is second build in Streets of Fire, but that was an amazing answer.
Starting point is 00:36:36 That's not it? That is not it. Fuck off! Yeah, that was great. No one has ever answered in this game with a correct wrong answer. Like, you know what I mean? Like, like two different movies that I was not looking for mashed up, but that's also, that's a good one. I'll do that on the next show. Okay, great. Cause nobody that's on the show ever listens to it. So it's not like they will know ahead of time.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Wolf of wall streets of fire. I like that. not like they will know ahead of time. Wolf of Wall Streets of Fire. I like that. Alright. No other guesses at this point? The Outsiders Suicide Squad mashup movie. Another great guess.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Alright. This is where it's going to get exciting, because when I say these next two names, I think one of you. Once Upon a Time in Hollywoodland? That is it! That is the correct answer. Holy cow.
Starting point is 00:37:43 When you said, wait a minute, I thought you were going to go, how does this game work again? Nobody ever stops me to say the right answer. So yeah, so second build is Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck, who plays that guy who played Superman in Hollywoodland. And then Leonardo DiCaprio and Adrian Brody, once upon a time in Hollywoodland.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Good job, Dan Schechter. You won that game. Would you like to throw a phone nut? Oh, yeah, sure. Here we go. Watch your faces. Going for the sky. Oh!
Starting point is 00:38:17 I tried, pal. Takes a real fun trajectory, these things. Okay. So this next game is a little something called Whose Tagline Is It Anyway? I'm going to name the tagline. I'm going to say the tagline from a motion picture.
Starting point is 00:38:32 And these are pretty hard. Don't, you know, don't beat yourself up for not knowing these. But a theme should emerge if I did it all correctly. Wait, this is a real wait. So, like, if we guess, are we out?
Starting point is 00:38:45 Like, do we get it wrong? No. No, you just get one guess with each one. So, Dan, you get to go first, and then we'll go to Joe, and then to Sam. And all three of you get a shot at it, so whoever gets it first,
Starting point is 00:38:59 or generally nobody gets them. But it sure is exciting when somebody gets one right. This first one, Dan, is showbiz has always been a little screwball. Terrible, terrible tagline. It's just for Dan. Oh, sorry. Yeah. I honestly have no idea.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Just going to Dan. If he doesn't get it, you'll get to guess that. I have no idea. I might have guessed. I don't even have a funny guess. A fun guess? Fun guesses only, you guys. Okay, so what did you say, Joe?
Starting point is 00:39:35 I didn't catch it. I said the elephant man. That's a fun guess. Wait, let me just... That's kind of a showbiz movie. Yeah, let me reread that. Showbiz has always been a little screwball. The Elephant Man.
Starting point is 00:39:52 That would be a great... They do some nutty shit in show business. Like caging people and touring with them. Calling them freaks. Sam, what do you think? The Player the player oh that is a good one i mean it's just a terrible tagline for a movie i don't feel a lot of people saw it's called she's funny that way and it was directed by peter bogdanovich and stars a lady you worked with uh dan jennifer aniston i saw that is in that movie was in that movie too yeah had a lot of good people in it
Starting point is 00:40:24 yeah uh what was it like working with jennifer aniston on that uh film you did with her she was Dan, Jennifer Aniston. Yeah, I saw that movie. Forte was in that movie, too. Yeah, had a lot of good people in it. What was it like working with Jennifer Aniston on that film you did with her? She was legit super cool. She was just easy, charming, talented. She just was game to do whatever. I had a blast working with her. Yeah, I just like getting that out there when somebody's like that, you know, because a lot of people are hard to work with, right? Yeah, you'll know if I don't like them by how I answer.
Starting point is 00:40:42 I was like... Yeah, I won't ask you any loaded questions. I already knew you liked her. Alright, so nobody got that one, but never fear, because there's 70 more to go. Dan
Starting point is 00:40:57 gets to go first again this time, Joe. Why? Because none of you got it. Alright, well... Not really fair, but okay. Also, that was weird. I was talking to Joe and then Sam responded, but I thought it was Joe. No, that was Joe. That was Joe.
Starting point is 00:41:14 Until the second thing you said, then you sounded more Sam-like. Dan. Mm-hmm. She's the only thing better than being there. She's the only thing better than being there. She's the only thing better than being there. What the? I don't know why my voice cracks when I say being there. She's the only thing better than being there. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:41:38 Nothing. Okay. Joe? My stepmom is an alien. Starring Kim Basinger. It's a real movie. And that makes sense. You can't go to the alien planet.
Starting point is 00:41:56 She's here. Hey, it's the next best thing. She's the only thing better than being on Mars. My stepmom is an alien. Sam? These are like riddles, you know? Yeah. Tricky, annoying riddles.
Starting point is 00:42:21 She's the only thing better than being there, Sam. Simone, the Al Pacino, Jason Schwartzman epic. Interesting. Because that has like a sex doll in it? Or a robot? Sex robot? Sex robot? Is Simone about a sex robot?
Starting point is 00:42:45 No, no, it is not. What is it about? It's about Al Pacino creates a VR personality, and she becomes a big star. Oh, yeah, she's not real. She's not real. Yeah, made up. She's the only thing better than being there,
Starting point is 00:43:02 because she's not there. She's not real. Great work, Sam. Thanks so much, Doug. The answer is Girl 6. Of course it was. Yeah. That's a dirty sex phone line movie, guys.
Starting point is 00:43:17 It's a whole sex movie. Yeah, how does that relate to the plot of that movie? I don't understand. Well, Girl 6, she's better than being there literally like you don't have to be there it makes more sense that's how this game works joe all right nobody's on the board going to dan again i feel i'm feeling it so so far we have uh she's funny and Girl 6. Dan, when the smoke clears, it just means he's reloading. When the smoke clears, it just means he's reloading. Wow, like Shaft or something.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Shaft. Final answer. Which one? Round Tree. Aren't they all like Shaft or something. Shaft. Final answer. Which one? Roundtree, Jackson, or Jackson? There's been three movies that are just called Shaft. Like, I don't know why. What is going on with that Shaft sequel that they're like, let's just call it Shaft.
Starting point is 00:44:20 Maybe people will remember that Sam Jackson was Shaft a decade ago, so let's just run it by him again and see what happens. Yeah. But we'll make a whole new movie. The second shaft. Okay. No, I was just joking around.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Of course. It's none of the shafts. Joe? I'm going to go with Death Wish. That's pretty good. It's fun to read it and then say the title again. When the smoke clears, it just means he's reloading. Death Wish. That's pretty good. It's fun to read it and then say the title again. When the smoke clears, it just means he's reloading. Death Wish.
Starting point is 00:44:50 Yeah. Nope. Sam? On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Why that one? Of all the Bond movies. I don't want to give away strategy, Doug. Oh.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Yeah, why not one of the better titled ones, like Quantum of Solace? Because I don't think that's it either. Octopussy. All right. No, the correct answer is Desperado. Desperado. Oh, then I don't know the theme. Yeah correct answer is Desperado.
Starting point is 00:45:26 Desperado. Oh, then I don't know the theme. Yeah. I love Desperado. Okay. I do. Well, run it through in your head until you think of the theme of this thing. And you get the next one again, Dan.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Okay. I hope to shut you guys down on all of these. There's not enough game shows where everybody loses. Dan, what's the... Just say it. Just tell us the movie that has the tagline, Being Evil Isn't Easy. Joe thinks he knows it. Fuck.
Starting point is 00:46:03 Alright. Being Evil Isn't Easy. Maleficent. It right. Being evil is an easy one. Maleficent. It did look hard for her to be evil. It seemed like a rough gig for Angelina. She's such a humanitarian. Joe? It has to be Despicable Me.
Starting point is 00:46:22 If you say it's not, I don't fucking believe you. It's Despicable Me. It's got to be Despicable Me. I second that. If you say it's not, I don't fucking believe you. It's despicable me. It's got to be despicable me. I second that. If you say it's not, I'm walking off this stage. Well, you know, I really love when people leave this stage. It's kind of my thing, so
Starting point is 00:46:39 I have to say no. Good. Sam? Oh, no. You still Sam? Oh, no. You still get a guess, Sam. Maybe it's Despicable Me 2. It could be. Being evil isn't easy. I love that you guys also haven't caught on to what the theme is yet.
Starting point is 00:46:59 I thought I had a vague idea, but I am not on board with whatever this game was that you thought up while almost certainly stone cold sober. Being evil isn't easy. She-Devil. Oh, that's not a bad guess. When Joe snapped his fingers, I was going to say, oh, did you think of a movie that has the devil in it? Because
Starting point is 00:47:27 it would apply to any of them. In this case, it's a movie called Little Nicky. Oh. Alright, so we got Little Nicky, Desperado, Girl 6, and She's Funny That Way. Dan? Yeah. What movie? See, this is where you can nail it, because if you
Starting point is 00:47:43 know the theme, you're just going to kill it because if you know the theme you're just gonna kill it what movie had the tagline the showdown is on the showdown is on
Starting point is 00:47:55 another these are all terrible taglines by the way yes they are they're really bad ones I know the theme too so what
Starting point is 00:48:02 movie fits that the theme called too. So what movie fits that? The theme called The Showdown is on. Man. It's on. I got nothing. I don't know. The game's too hard. So hard.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Joe. The Elephant Man Part 2. Oh, good. I'm going to go with, and I know this is wrong, but I'm going to go with Bowfinger, because I remember the tagline for Bowfinger was, the con is on, so maybe there was an alternate where it was the showdown is on.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Okay, no. Sam. Mr. and Mrs. Smith. No. All right. No. No. No.
Starting point is 00:48:42 All right. No. No. The answer is from dusk till dawn. I know. Okay. And I can only think that they said that because it rhymes. The showdown is on from dusk till dawn. I have a question.
Starting point is 00:48:59 Are we going to play any games today that aren't fucking impossible? I mean, Dan. I got it now. Do you have it now? I know. Dan's on to what's going on here. I still don't know what the theme is. Okay, so here's the fun part is you guys are in a three-way tie of nobody getting one.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Is there one more? There's one more, but it's the tiebreaker. And you don't get to each go one at a time on this one. I'm going to say it. And the first one of you that says it right wins. I think I can buzz in now. Really? You got a pre-guess?
Starting point is 00:49:31 Kinda is the only one I can think of. Oh, interesting. Um, okay. The only one you could think of. I don't think you know what the theme is. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:49:44 maybe nothing, but maybe you do.. I don't think you know what the theme is. Yeah, maybe not. But maybe you do. Oh, yeah, I think you do. I think you're on to most of it, but it's not as specific as you're thinking. All right, the tiebreaker is this. Everybody just jump in with your answers. Wait, with the answers or with our name?
Starting point is 00:50:01 The answer. I know, right? Sometimes they have you buzz in with your own name. That's true. But in this case, just say the answer. Stress it out. Just say it. You don't know what it's like up here.
Starting point is 00:50:10 I know when I listen to the show, you think you know all the answers. Being up here is intense. Let's go to work. Reservoir Dogs. Damn it. Sam is our winner. Damn it! I knew what it was.
Starting point is 00:50:23 I was just going to say Pulp Fiction. I was just going to yell Pulp Fiction. Quentin Tarantino acts in all of those movies. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It got that past Sam, who is in a Quentin Tarantino movie. Well, if you'd said a bastard's job is never done... Is that the tagline for that?
Starting point is 00:50:40 I think it's a bastard's work is never done. But you get the idea. Yeah, I knew the Let's go to work one because that's on the British quad poster, which has been hanging in my bedroom for 20 years. Oh, shit. I picked the wrong one then because there was like six or seven to choose from. But I didn't want to say every dog has his day because, you know, dog kind of gives it way too much away. But then here's another one.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Let's get the job done. I mean, come on. Oh, that's the greatest show on Earth. Yeah. That's the tagline from that. There's not that many more movies that he acts in, is there? I mean, I couldn't think of any other one. Well, he acts in a lot of his own, obviously,
Starting point is 00:51:17 so that's why I went with Reservoir Dogs. But he has a big part in a movie called Destiny Turns on the Radio. Yeah. And then he did lots of wacky tv appearances like you know uh he was elvis an elvis impersonator on the golden girls and he was in an episode of margaret cho's sitcom all american girls i think he directed it and he's in planet terror yeah but rodriguez yeah i mean he's in most of his movies and they even say he's in once upon a time in
Starting point is 00:51:41 hollywood but that's just because he's the voice directing the cigarette commercial. Right. All right. Well, congratulations to Sam for winning that one, but that only means... Thanks. Yeah. Uh-oh. Go ahead. Uh-oh. Congrats. Would you like to throw a
Starting point is 00:52:00 faux nut? I believe I would. All right. Sam's going to throw a faux nut. Look out, everybody. Put on your protective goggles. No weight. It's light, but it can still... Whoa! Wow, it was like a shooting gallery because there was a lady moving across the back
Starting point is 00:52:16 that I thought I was going to hit. Are you folks leaving just because you don't want to get hit with a phone nut? I'm not kidding. The man that just left looked incredibly like the man that yelled at me? I'm not kidding. The man that just left looked incredibly like the man that yelled at me. I'm not kidding. Do you think it's him, really? I don't know, man. Let me go find out.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Let me have two more drinks and then go talk to him. Took him long enough to walk out on this one. He was like, wait a second. I think that was me he was talking about. Yeah. Well, anyway, we always lose a few people during a show like this
Starting point is 00:52:51 because, first of all, they probably didn't know what they were getting into. But then, secondly, there's so many movies and things going on that people get all FOMO and have to leave and go do something else. But that's not going to stop us from playing the determining game tonight. And as almost always, it's going to be Last Man Stanton. I reached out to, or I should say
Starting point is 00:53:21 someone reached out to me on Twitter who has a suggestion for a name for this game. We're going to take turns naming movies that person was in. And if you can't think of one, you're out. You can go to your lifeline once. You can go to your person whose name tag you chose one time.
Starting point is 00:53:37 And if on that one time they fail you, if they say, I do not have an answer, or they say something that's not correct, you can phone a celebrity. You can call somebody, but we all have to agree that person's famous, and then they have to pick up the phone, which they will never do. That would be embarrassing. Yeah. Are you kidding? Is that really an option?
Starting point is 00:54:01 That is really an option. Okay. Do they have to be on speaker? Yeah. I'm trying to be on speaker? Yeah. I'm trying to trick famous people into being on this show. I mean, we talked to Saget one time, although he's been an actual guest on the show too, so that doesn't count that much, I guess. So think about that, but you probably won't have to resort to that because the lifelines usually are
Starting point is 00:54:26 helpful. Where is K8 Sherman? Kate Sherman. Hey! How you doing? Front row. What do you do? Do you live around here? I'm an accountant from Grand Rapids. Accountant of Grand Rapids. Let's hear it. You ever go to that comedy
Starting point is 00:54:43 club there, Dr. Grin's? Yeah, I used to play there. Yeah, I got really good at comedy, though, so I stopped going there. It's such a prestigious place, though. Well, that's the thing. I was like, you know what? I'm too good for a room where there's a band playing in the room next door and you can hear it the whole time, right? Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. It's like in a entertainment complex and you're just one of
Starting point is 00:55:13 the entertainments when you do standup comedy there, but everyone's real nice and I do have a good time when I go there. All right. So, uh, what is your suggestion for a name for this game? Oh, the? Eddie Murphy. Oh, the great Eddie Murphy. I just watched his Comedians in Cars getting coffee with Jerry Seinfeld, and it was really nice to see Eddie Murphy laughing and talking about comedy. He says he's going to get back into it, but he also says the first time's the hardest.
Starting point is 00:55:42 That's why he hasn't done it in all this time. I think Netflix offered him like $70 million. Yeah, now he's got the money, so he's going to have to do it. On the same day, by the way, it was like they announced on a Tuesday Netflix lost $29 billion this week or whatever. Then the next day they're like, we're going to offer Eddie Murphy $70 million. Guys, what is this business strategy of yours here at Netflix? Yeah, they have a lot of money. Doesn't make sense.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Yeah. Where's it coming from? Let's get to the bottom of it. That's a documentary I'd like to see at this festival. Where's that Netflix? Would you rather see a documentary about how nefarious Netflix is or you doing a comedy special on Netflix? I'll go with a special.
Starting point is 00:56:23 Yeah. So I'm going to cut what we, I'm going to cut this conversation out of this show. You're welcome. You can leave it in. I'm dangerous, man. I say crazy shit while I'm up here.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Well, that's what I like to, I like to think that I'm a comedian. I was just joking around, but people don't have, people have thin skin over at Netflix. I don't know. All right, so everyone I've met there is nice.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Yeah. What's happening, Sam? Well, we're going to do Eddie Murphy, and I've asked you this before, and you've said no, but I'll try again. Am I allowed to defer on the first round? What does that mean? He's saying it's like a disadvantage to go first.
Starting point is 00:57:02 It's a huge disadvantage to go first in this game. Why? Can't you just name his most famous movie and just get it out of the way? Of course I can, but then when we start to get down to the real meat and gravy. Then you're fucking with the other players, so it is a good position to start. It's a good argument. Because you're taking away a good answer. All right, Beverly Hills Cop.
Starting point is 00:57:19 That's what you come up with after all of that? I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. It was pretty famous. Joe, let's go this way of that? I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. It was pretty famous. Joe, let's go this way. Joe? Beverly Hills Cop 2. Oh, I like how this is going.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Dan? Bowfinger. All right, I'll say it. Beverly Hills Cop 3. Sam? Let's see. I don't want to come up with anything with a sequel. Right.
Starting point is 00:57:49 So strategic. Yeah, it was a terrible position. Let's see. Got all of those. Got that. Just say one. I got that. Just say one.
Starting point is 00:58:10 48 hours. Okay, Joe. Another 48 hours. There it is. Dan? Bowfinger. Coming to America. Coming to America? Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:28 The Nutty Professor. The Nutty Professor 2 colon The Klumps. Okay. Yes. Boomerang. He's got so many B titles. Harlem Knights.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Wow. Nice. I'm going to go with... Wait a second. What was your last one Joe I forget already it was boomerang boomerang okay dream girls
Starting point is 00:59:17 nice the distinguished gentleman oh probably should have sat on that, right? Oh, that was a good one. Oh, was that the one you had as my... Okay. Better have a good one.
Starting point is 00:59:33 Stop talking to your lifeline. Joe. The Golden Child. Very good, very good. Shrek. I love this. Shrek 2? Yep. good very good shrek oh i love this shrek 2 shrek forever after ah it almost got cut nice work
Starting point is 00:59:58 right because you can't remember the whole title of the other one Shrek the third oh you did it oh that is it okay Norbit is that a thing mm-hmm that's totally a thing uh I'm gonna go with um meet Dave you're gonna say that after he said Norbit. I was going to say Dave. So good, I'm glad I said that. Oh, yeah, that worked out good for you. Sam? Boy.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Oh, if we're quiet, we can hear what movie's playing out at the open space. It's not that late. They're showing Woodstock. Is it tonight or tomorrow? Tonight? It's starting at like 10 o'clock and it's three hours long. Oh, they're going to go early.
Starting point is 01:00:58 Interesting. Sam? Are you really out? No, I just, I'm... It's all strategy that you're... I'm just, I don't want to, the problem, I don't want to say it, but, no, I've got a lot of good ones left, Doug, but they're deep cuts. He's done so many bad movies. I mean, you don't think Meet Dave's a deep cut?
Starting point is 01:01:20 Let's start deep cutting it up, buddy. Another one. Yeah, what is that other one? I got a couple ones floating around in my head. Ooh, another one. Ooh, another one. Ooh, another one? Yeah, who do I think I am, DJ Khaled?
Starting point is 01:01:38 All right, Vampire in Brooklyn. Yes, that's a nice one trading places oh my god that's an obscure one yeah oh i got some i got some up my sleeve got some yeah okay don't don't don't start dancing i'm excited about this yeah dan i think i'm up to my deepest cut i think he was in like an indie film called mr church does that sound right to anybody yep people are saying yes okay yeah yeah i think it's legit I think he was in another indie movie, little animated film called Mulan. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Yeah. Sam? We did that one, we did that one. Oh my God. Such a strategist. Actually, I'm trying to do it chronologically because this is my weakest game is Last Man Stanton. Because I don't ever think about an actor
Starting point is 01:02:29 in their filmography. That's not how I categorize actors. I think of the movie and then everybody in. Well, no pressure, but three people just walked out. No, they're going outside to tell people, get inside, you can watch a guy think. Yeah. Pretty exciting times.
Starting point is 01:02:54 Hurry, Sam's striking the Rodan pose. God, I know we've got to be missing a huge one. It's unbelievable that you have answers and are taking this long. All right, fine, fine, fine. A Thousand Words. Yes. That one was... That movie was crazy because, like,
Starting point is 01:03:18 if one thing Eddie Murphy's great at, it's talking, and then to have it play a character that can't talk the whole time fuck that movie yeah all right uh go ahead Joe life oh yes I'm gonna phone my my bud Alad Dan here Alad Dan what do you got for Dan uh The Adventures of Pluto Nash that's what I was trying to think of The Adventures of Pluto Nash very Yeah, I was thinking that too. Yeah. I'm going to say this just to see what Sam does with it. Dr. Doolittle. Dr. Doolittle 2.
Starting point is 01:03:58 Thank you, Doug. I was tired of giving those to Joe. You're forcing me to go deep here. I thought Sam was a bigger man than that. I thought he'd say something else. No. No. You put me in the worst position. You're here to win. Joe? The Holy
Starting point is 01:04:16 Man. Yes. What? It's just called Holy Man. Oh, come on. Just saying. But yeah, but if you want to, but you got to at least be like, you know, that's not right to get him to the right title instead of just saying what the right title is immediately. Okay. So I'm going to let him stay. That's fine.
Starting point is 01:04:35 There you go. Because he remembered that shitty movie. I'm going to, I saw one from the audience and I'm not going to take it, but I don't have one. Somebody mouthed it? All right, whatever. They acted out? I don't want to point. What did they do? Somebody I'm not going to take it. But I don't have one. Somebody mouthed it? All right, whatever. They acted out? What did they do?
Starting point is 01:04:48 Somebody was, yeah, I mouthed it. But I'm not going to use it. Okay. Which means I think I might be out. You're a very honorable player. I know. I'd say use the one that you saw. No, I won't do it.
Starting point is 01:04:58 Yeah, come on. I can't win that way. I don't like it. All right. I like rules. I like structure. Okay, so you're out? I won't feel good about it. So you're out then? I'm out, guys. Sorry. Sorry, rules. I like structure. Okay, so you're out? I won't feel good about it.
Starting point is 01:05:05 So you're out then? I'm out, guys. Sorry. Sorry, sorry. That's okay. Sorry, Lat Ann. I got an applause for losing. It's pretty tough, man.
Starting point is 01:05:15 This is, I did have a few, but then I said a few. And so that sort of dissipated. I said a few. And so that sort of dissipated. But I think I've got another good squirrely one that I can whip out. Oh, shit. What was that fucking movie
Starting point is 01:05:36 called? I could tell you the one I know. Because you're the host. What do you mean? I mean, I could tell you the one to keep it competitive with those guys. You can't win, right? No, I can't win, but I still like to stay in the game if I can tell you the one because to keep it competitive with those guys. No, no. You can't win, right? No, I can't win, but I still like to stay in the game if I can. Fair enough.
Starting point is 01:05:52 But a couple of things that came into my head went away. Joe just thought of something. I'm going to go with... I'm going to go with... You guys, I'm going to sleep on it. I'll be right back. Let me just get a quick nap in. Shoot. I think I'm going to tap.
Starting point is 01:06:25 Yeah. Sam? The Tower Heist. Yes! Well, as we learned previously, it's not called. Exactly. The Tower Heist. Oh, weird.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Yeah. You're telling me the correct title, Tower Heist. All right. Now we're even. You want to fuck around? No, I don't. Because I came to play today. I know you did, Joe. You always come to play. Metro.
Starting point is 01:06:51 That was the one I was thinking of where he's a bad cop. God damn it, I just thought of another one. Yeah. Oh, my God. Back to you, Sam. All right. Oof. We've gotten all the real bad ones out, haven't we? But you have some now, or? I still have my Lifeline.
Starting point is 01:07:11 Oh, he's got it. I hope. That's interesting. Oh, my Lifeline says yeah? Oh, Lifeline's saying go for it. The Haunted Mansion. Oh, the Haunted Mansion. Great work, Lifeline.
Starting point is 01:07:24 Back to you Joe You're forcing me to do this Yes I am Best defense Yes that's the one I was trying to think of With Dudley Moore And I still have my Lifeline Yes you do
Starting point is 01:07:37 Hmm That might be one of Eddie Murphy's If not his smallest screen role It's up there Because he's just sort of a supporting thing in that I think he just pops out of the tank in that one scene I think like that's literally all he does That's it he just pops out
Starting point is 01:07:53 It's like rated as one of the most He just pops out and goes Yeah It's considered like one of the worst movies of all time It's not good It's not good Where are we? up there with like Ishtar. It's not good. Where are we? What's happening, Sam?
Starting point is 01:08:08 Back on me. Do it. I feel like we got them all. I am not 100% positive, but I'm reasonably sure he is also in Puss in Boots. Oh, yeah. I bet you. I think Donkey shows up in Puss in Boots. He does. He does. My friend wrote that. What was Puss in Boots. Oh, yeah. I bet you, I think Donkey shows up in Puss in Boots. He does. He does.
Starting point is 01:08:27 What's with Puss in his boots? Donkey. Alright. Back to you, Joe. I'm going to my lifeline. What do you got, lifeline? Daddy freaking daycare. Oh, no. Now he's going to say the sequel.
Starting point is 01:08:48 Daddy Daycare is a great answer. Great answer. Christ fucking Christ. Yeah, he's not. Really, he's not in that shit sequel. He's not in the sequel. Oh, man. All right.
Starting point is 01:09:02 And see, this is why I didn't want to go first, Doug, because Joe and I have now named the exact same number of Eddie Murphy movies. And you got to say the first one and every other one before he got to speak. There are none left, are there? There's got to be at least one terrible Eddie Murphy movie. I got one. We named about 17. I know.
Starting point is 01:09:22 We've named so many movies. We did a great job, you guys. We're very good at this. Oh, he's out of his seat. Released theatrically, Eddie Murphy, Delirious. Diving. Whoa. Wait, but then maybe.
Starting point is 01:09:41 You know what to do now, don't you, Joe? I think I know what to do. I think I need to bring up a little movie called Eddie Murphy Raw! Yeah. Boy, you sure know how to play that position. Back to you, Sam. By the way, I don't think Delirious was released theatrically.
Starting point is 01:10:02 Oh, it totally was. All right. I don't want to split hairs, but I want to win. You all out, Sam? No, I can come up with one more. Really? Maybe. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:10:19 Give me a minute, Doug. Should we do plugs while you're thinking? Sure. I think I would have started with Raw. Maybe Delirious would have been harder to remember, or is that wrong? I think Delirious is more easy. No, if you would have said Raw, I would have been fucked, because I
Starting point is 01:10:33 never knew Delirious was in theaters. I have... I thought it was just an HBO special. No, I think it was in theaters. I mean, I'm not 100% sure, but I have friends who said they saw it in theaters, and they're older than I am. Joe, you're older than I am.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Did you see it in theaters? Say what? I was four. What's happening? What's that? I don't know. Quit stalling, Sam. All right.
Starting point is 01:11:01 Hmm. No, I'm tapped out, Doug. That's it? Oh, Celebrity Lifeline? No, that'm tapped out, Doug. That's it? Oh, Celebrity Lifeline? No, it's only if your lifeline fails you, and your lifeline was awesome. He wanted me to call Kevin Pollack so bad. Do you have another one, Joe? No, but I did get the last correct answer.
Starting point is 01:11:18 Yeah, yeah. No, but it's fun to have, you know, then you have one more just to fucking stomp on it. Like a real fuck you one? Yeah. Well, then you win, but who wins now? He had that... Joe wins. He had that claymation TV show. Yeah, the PJs. Called the... Oh, alright. I thought it was called the Eddie Murphy
Starting point is 01:11:33 Claymation TV Show. But he's in a movie with Owen Wilson called Showtime! Oh! Oh! Oh! And he's also in I Spy! Yeah! Oh! Alright. And that's all the Eddie Murphy movies. That's probably
Starting point is 01:11:50 all of them. I swear. Nice job, Joe. Uh-oh. A lady's got one. What do you got? Mulan 2. Oh, he's in Mulan 2? And that's what it's called? Yeah. Was it like a video home movie thing? Didn't go to theaters? I don't know. It sucked. Oh, it sucked. Okay, that's
Starting point is 01:12:06 good. I don't think that was officially a theatrical release, but that is a good answer. Where else? What else? Imagine that. Holy fuck. Christmas with the Klumps? I think you're thinking Christmas with the Kranks.
Starting point is 01:12:23 Yeah, that's not a movie. Yeah, you are. We said Golden Child. I know it was a few hours ago, but we did say that one. That guy's been dreaming about Christmas with the clubs. It would be so awesome! It'd be better than Christmas with the cranks. That's for damn sure.
Starting point is 01:12:40 On save time from the corrections department, Delirious does not appear to have been released theatrically. Oh! It should have gone with Raw. So you really won that one, Joe. Joe DeRosa, everybody. Thank you. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:12:56 Let's get Ryan his prizes. Does Joe get to keep the car? I don't want it. Pretty fucked up now. I also don't think he wants to give it to you that's why I was asking you there you go dude congratulations there's more
Starting point is 01:13:14 more tote bags yeah congratulations alright so as I was mentioning earlier plugs Dan what do you got? I got this movie, Safe Spaces, which is coming out, I heard, sometimes like November, December of later this year and playing festivals and

Starting point is 01:13:48 But also, you can look up in your program guide and it's got a nice little description. But I like to go in, film festivals are a great time to just be like,
Starting point is 01:13:56 I like Dan, I like Justin Long, I like Fran Drescher. So you just go in and see it, you know? If I called Fran, it would have been pretty awesome if she picked up.
Starting point is 01:14:04 Do you want to try and call her anyway? I don't think she'll pick would have been pretty awesome if she picked up. She wouldn't have known anything. Do you want to try and call her anyway? I don't think she'll pick up. Yeah, people don't pick up. Yeah. That's the problem. Maybe she'll be like, oh, man, it's like an emergency. Just try it.
Starting point is 01:14:12 Because just to hear her go, just to hear her. How funny would it be to hear her say hello? Like, just what does she say? Her privacy is being invaded. How does she answer the phone? What does she say? I don't the phone what does she say i don't know if i've ever talked i have her number okay all right all right let's go while you do that joe tell us your plugs got her voicemail be pretty fun too yeah
