Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see.
Hey, hey, hey, everybody.
My name is Doug and I love movies.
This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you on sunday april 3rd 2022 i mean you're hearing this
on the fourth or after that but you get the idea my guests today are returning champ john erler
dangling champ blair saki and a champ in all of our hearts solomon giorgio hello everybody Alvin Giorgio. Hello, everybody. Hey. Hey.
Hello, everyone.
Let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically,
starting with a hot off of his big win on the bonus episode from a few days ago.
It's Master Pancaker, John Erler. Hello, John.
Hi, Doug Benson. Thanks for having me.
How's it going? Have you been just living the life of a champion?
I'm not going to lie. It's been pretty great these past couple of days since I barely squeaked by on that last episode.
Well, if you win again today, then you're going to have probably a few weeks to enjoy it because
we're going out of town. We're doing a live episode next week and I won't need anybody via zoom
until the week after, but we'll let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Yeah. Let's you're jinxing it. You're jinxing. Yeah.
Back after her win in the show one,
the first show we did at South by Southwest it It's Blair Saki. Hey, Blair.
Hi.
It's so great to be back after such a huge win.
That was an exciting one because Lisa Traeger was there to play.
And you made mincemeat of her.
Yeah.
Sometimes, you know, an understated underdog just sneaks through with ease
that's one way to describe it um and also returning to the show the host of a brand
new podcast the juice it's solomon giorgio hey hi hi i'm happy to be back. Never won before, so I'm excited that I'm amongst champions.
Yeah, well, you know, it's a lot of champions running around on this show,
because at least every episode I try to bring one back, you know, Jeopardy style.
But tell us, Solomon, about your brand new podcast, The Juice.
Thank you. It is all about just,'s gossip it's uh but like nothing celebrity
wise just that um fun small town retail store high school gossip uh where people would just
just uh you'd hear around town and could never validate if it's it's a gossip for the unslanderable exactly
so people can really tear into it not not have to feel bad about yeah they can lie if they want
to and i'm fine with that yeah i go back and forth on celebrity gossip i go back and forth
on you know like sometimes i'm into it other times when i read a blind item i just give up immediately because i'm like i don't want to put this much thought into uh figuring out
who this is you know yeah like for me it's like i love promotional celebrity gossip like oh you
have a project coming out so you have to you have to make a splash but if there's nothing for me to
watch alongside and like you're just you're just around uh well thank you for being here today.
Good luck to everybody.
And before we get to the games, let's get some recs.
I like each of my guests on each episode of Late to recommend one motion picture.
John Euler was just on, so he knew this question was coming.
And he had a questionable answer on the last episode
so let's see how he does let's see how he does today oh no is it possible to fail this question
well i mean you know i'd like you to recommend a movie for people to enjoy watch not hate watch
yeah i know i know you're right like um i was just like coasting on the last movie I had seen at that point, which was fresh in my mind.
All right. Here's a movie that I like that I have watched recently, but not too recently.
Daredevil, the 2003 Daredevil with Ben Affleck.
That's a good movie. Oh, no. I flunked the question again.
Thank you, John. I will be taking your recommendation.
Thank you, Blair.
It's a pleasure to pass on a good movie to you.
Thank you for you.
I would have taken your recommendation if I didn't take it 20 years ago.
And I like it.
Well, that's why I'm asking people to revisit this movie.
You may have gotten a bad impression of it.
Give it another chance.
Because obviously.
People are people are ready to accept Ben Affleck again.
Maybe. I don't know.
His last couple of movies didn't seem to do so do so well,
in spite of the fact that the gossip about him is swirling constantly.
The last one I saw that he was in was when he was like an alcoholic
who destroyed his family.
And I was like, I don't know if this is good to watch.
Like, oh, with everything in the news and everything felt too real.
Absolutely.
Well, this this is a refreshing change of pace from that style of movie you don't have
to worry about that with daredevil it's a very feel-good story about a guy who who learns how
to help other people uh overcomes a lot of difficulties and obstacles and um and avenges
his father's death so yeah also so if you like um do you like evanescence the group evanescence who are you
asking who am i talking to which one of the three of us do you think
can we bring ryan into this your producer no i'm listening i'm listening i'm here for the
evanescence soundtrack okay if you like if you, if you're a fan of Evanescence,
you're going to love Daredevil because this is the movie.
This is the movie that uses the song, uh, bring me to life,
wake me up inside as a, uh,
the song is playing over the montage when Jennifer Garner, her,
her character, uh, her, her character's name is Electra Nachos.
And she goes through a training routine, like a training montage to get revenge on Daredevil
because she thinks Daredevil killed her father, even though he didn't.
But it's a great training montage.
And the song Bring Me to Life had flopped like they released it about a month before
Daredevil came out and nobody would play it on the about a month before daredevil came out and nobody
would play it on the radio and then daredevil came out and changed everything and then that
song went on to be one of the biggest of all time so that's fun i love a comeback story yeah
well here's the thing on wikipedia it says they wouldn't play the evanescence song
on rock radio because they didn't want to play a song with female vocals and piano in it and
that sounds like them oh here i was thinking it was because it wasn't that good of a song
wait are you a rock producer and dj
so so you're telling me that these rock stations are
passing on November
rain by the great Guns N' Roses
because it has piano in it?
It's possible, but it had a male
vocal, so that helps cancel
things. I feel like, based on the
timeline of when this was happening.
You can have the lady and the piano.
You can have one or the other.
You can have Joan Jett or a piano.
Take your pick.
I'm just telling you what Wikipedia said.
And you can blame Wikipedia if that's wrong.
But no, it's a fun movie.
It's got Joe Pantoliano in it.
Michael Clarke Duncan is the kingpin.
And John Favreau plays the sidekick, Foggy Nilsson,
whose name is very similar to his name in Iron Man,
which is happy hogan
well that is a lot about daredevil let's go to our next our next panelist
blair yeah it up again no you it's nothing to up yeah let's see what blair suggests
maybe she should suggest electra starring
Blair suggests. Maybe she suggests Elektra starring
Jennifer Garner.
Oh no, no. I haven't seen
any of those movies.
Look, I will
be candid with you. I am
a well-known incendiary
so with that
I will give you my recommendation
for the week
and that is
Free Guy
oh okay
yeah I know you guys
think
famed art
critic Blair Saki wouldn't
recommend Free Guy but
I was taken to that movie
without knowing anything about it
and then I walked out
feeling renewed, joyful,
surprised even by the pathos in that movie.
Jodie Comer, Joe Geary, Taika Waititi,
incredible performances.
And yeah.
Incredible that you pronounced all their names correctly.
Thank you so much yeah
um yes uh i saw that movie in imax and enjoyed it very much uh they're talking free guy too
already that makes sense yeah i mean because he's still a free guy i mean spoiler but uh
you know he's still out there yeah and it just it went to
completely direction a different direction than i thought it was going to in the beginning and
also i only went to the movie because my best friend's husband is obsessed with ryan reynolds
i would have never found myself in that movie and i walked out happy that's terrific story you might like other ryan reynolds movies because because that was pretty much pure uncut ryan reynolds doing his thing like
a little less swearing in that one i think they went for the pg-13 but uh um yeah i mean he's
he's been doing his thing in movies for a while it took you know it took the second time he did
deadpool to sort of like his thing to match up with
a character. And now he's
huge. And I hope
we don't burn out on him because
I didn't even watch Red Notice.
But it just feels like
Ryan Reynolds is just going to be hired to do the
Ryan Reynolds thing. And as an
actor, he's probably going to want to grow a little bit.
Mm-hmm.
All right. So, yeah. So, Blair is definitely winning so far, John. I'm sorry to say. he's probably going to want to grow a little bit. Alright.
So, yeah. So, Blair is definitely
winning so far, John. I'm sorry to say.
Oh, no. I'm looking for her.
What are you going to do?
She picked a movie that's fun and innovative
and you picked Daredevil.
I'm not going to hold that
against her. She worked hard for that one.
I also am a fan of Free Guys.
There you go. But it's not surprising. People worked hard for that one. I also am a fan of Free Guys. There you go.
But it's not surprising. People already know who I am.
What is your
recommendation for this episode,
Simon? The last film that I watched
which I loved a lot was X,
which is a nice fun
throwback slasher movie
directed by T.I. West.
We got Brittany Snow coming back as a porn star.
Like they shoot a whole,
like it's all about a porn film in this like random Texas town.
It's in the seventies.
It's very like throwback style.
And I loved it a lot.
And it's,
it's Mia Goth who does a great job as playing both both two two big parts which is
really fun and kit kutty surprised you by being in it because i didn't realize it was him he was
the whole time and it's he does a great job it's in the uh 90s i believe 94 96 range on
rotten tomatoes so the critics certainly are appreci appreciating the throwback this of it.
It's always hard to know.
It's not gross murders.
What's that?
It's good murders.
Not those really grotesque,
prolonged bloody murders that we've been getting with a lot of horror
movies.
Oh,
that's nice to hear because that's one thing I was hearing about it
though,
is that it is very violent and it does have plenty of blood in it uh if you're into that sort of thing yeah it's a
the one through line of the you know the snippets of reviews that i'll look at because i hate having
movies ruined and i am looking forward to seeing this movie the one through line seems to be that
it has interesting characters which you know unfortunately so many horror films do not. And like you just said,
you like the, the actors, which is, you know,
that's always a good sign when you walk out saying,
I like this actor and that actor.
Cause you never do that with like a Friday the 13th movie.
Even when Kevin Bacon was in the Friday the 13th movie,
everybody was like, Oh, that Kevin Bacon killed it.
Yeah. I feel like they all like tryth movie. And we were like, oh, that Kevin Bacon killed it. Yeah, I feel like they all
tried too hard. This one, it's like, I feel
like they knew what was going on.
This movie is very campy, and that's
the kind of horror that I grew up loving.
And then I feel like there's a big departure
with a lot of serious acting in the horror, which I think
is unnecessary.
Well, yeah, and also just
the amount of
time they take with the trauma that the people are going
through, you know, I like a zippy fast pace horror movie.
I don't need to see somebody sit in a corner and cry for a long time.
You know, if I wanted that, I'd take one of Blair's breathwork classes.
I wanted to bring that up at some point during the show because I'm,
I'm fascinated by it. You're the next one. You're going to,
you're going to do something online that people can come and learn how to
breathe.
Oh yes. I will be your shepherd to teach you how to breathe. No,
I have a breathwork class event online on April 18th, Monday at 530. And yeah,
it's just a great way to release a lot of feeling from your body. And for people who meditation is
very difficult for them with racing thoughts and stuff, of a more physical uh experience allows you to bypass all
those thoughts and have like a very in your body physical experience i like this because i really
yeah that's where meditation loses me is i just can't not think about you know everything uh so it's hard to just sit and just shut down like that
right that's most people so i think um when people try it there's actually no way honestly
to describe it until you try it because it's completely different than whatever you think it
is but people love it and when i have time i like to do one so thank you for bringing it up
we'll mention it again at the
at the end of the show but it's april 18th uh what time 5 30 p.m that's pacific time yes yeah
so that works for everybody's early evening no matter what part of the country or world you're in
and um thank you for these recommendations i uh i am, I am going to see X. I might watch Daredevil again.
Free guy I'm good on. Cause I just saw it, you know, a month or two ago,
but, uh,
definitely be watching at least parts of it on cable.
Cause it's so visually fun constantly.
Like it seems like also it'd be a fun movie to watch on a plane.
Cause, uh, you know, a lot's going on and it looks cool.
Let's take a break and come back.
We've got some fierce competitors.
There's going to be some exciting games today.
We'll play those right after these messages.
We're back and it's time to play some games.
We're back, and it's time to play some games.
First up is a Doug Loves Movies classic spelling game that I call ABCD's Nuts.
Doug Loves Movies is coming to Florida, Miami specifically, even more specifically, Doral, Florida.
That's part of Miami.
At the improv there at 420 this Saturday, April 9th.
So in honor of that, so that I can work in that plug and then still keep talking about it,
today we're going to spell Florida, USA.
Here's what I mean by spell.
Our first player is John Erler.
I'm going to give him the first letter in Florida, USA, which is F.
He's going to name any movie from the history of movies that begins with the letter F.
And just for having done that, he continues to stay in the game.
But if he matches the movie that I wrote down ahead of time for that letter,
which is, you know, can be pretty tough to do, especially when you're first.
Then he wins. He just wins the game outright.
The next letter is L, so that'll go to Blair.
And she guesses a movie that begins with L.
And then O for Solomon, et cetera. until we get through Florida, USA. And a
theme has been put into place that will not
maybe emerge in your minds until you've heard a few of the answers.
John, are you ready? Yes.
The first... It's such a
silly game. It feels very serious right now uh the first letter
is f can you tell me a movie that begins with the letter f yes i can i'm gonna go with uh the one
we were just talking about which is free guy oh that's a good uh f title not the one i wrote down
but how did you even know the theme at this point?
That's right.
Right?
And you still might not know the theme after I tell you what I wrote down is the motion picture called Fame.
Oh.
Fame, which, of course, became a TV series and then another movie.
I think they made it a second time, right?
And then maybe another series.
It's just fame.
It just keeps going.
But none of us remember any of their names.
Okay, so Blair, the next letter is L.
What do you got for the letter L?
Wait, so Doug, do I try to think of a movie
based off of you saying fame,
or do I just go with what was in my head?
Whichever you'd like, but you're more likely to match me if you consider fame.
Oh, okay.
Right?
But, you know, if you already had a good L title.
Yeah, well, sorry, I had to go as Land Before Time.
It was just on the forefront of my mind.
Okay.
The Land Before Time?
The Land Before Time.
Yeah, okay.
That's close enough.
I'll take it.
I went with a motion picture called Love, Simon.
Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. I went with a motion picture called Love Simon oh oh
that's the next letter
Solomon what do you got for the letter O
this is a tough one because not a lot of movies
begin with O
yeah I'm going to go with Orange County
a very
underrated movie I think
is this SpaceX's daughter.
It's the female lead.
Something Fisk, I think her name is.
And there's a scene in the movie where a dog bites her nose and it's real.
The dog just actually just bit her nose in that moment.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's my takeaway from Orange County.
Do you have any fun Orange County trivia, John?
Are there any Evanescence songs in Orange County?
I would imagine all of Orange County, the music is just Evanescence constantly.
I have no fun trivia.
That's all right.
But I love oranges, so.
That's all I needed.
O is a funny one.
Did you think of something else?
I was trying to think along the theme,
and that's why I went for Orange County,
but I feel like I should have gone with O.
But I know where you're going now.
Oh, just O?
The Othello movie with Miffy Piper?
That one tends to come up in this game because i get stumped on the letter o but uh this o was just too hard to resist there's no way you
were going to come up with this but it's a great title uh depending on how you define great um
there's a movie called oy vey my son is gay
with an exclamation point so uh really uh really fired up about it it's a real it's a real problem
in this person's life apparently uh okay so r is the next letter back to john uh i'm gonna go with the movie we riffed recently which is uh
romeo plus juliet the leo dicaprio yeah william shakespeare's baz luhrmann's romeo plus juliet
that's right with johnny legs in it it. Johnny Legs! He's great.
But unfortunately, that's not what I wrote down.
I wrote down a motion picture that was
based on a musical called
Rent.
Hmm.
Letter I
for Blair.
Oh, God. I am quite positive this is
exactly on theme.
I know what you did last
summer.
What if I had written down
I still know what you did last summer?
That would have been
a fun twist.
I wrote down a motion
picture called In and Out.
Oh, yeah. I never heard of that one.
Based on the true story
of a teacher who gets
kind of accidentally
outed somehow and
has to continue
being a teacher in a small town and
the reverberations. Kevin
Klein plays the lead character
and Tom Selleck
is in it.
John Cusack does a great job.
Yeah, but Tom Selleck plays a
gay man in it.
And it's the only role I can recall
where he doesn't have his mustache.
He shaved
his mustache to play a gay man.
His mustache to play a gay man.
Anyway, that's my takeaway from that movie.
But yeah, Joan Cusack is always money
in the bank. She's terrific. She's incredible.
I wonder what she's been up to lately.
I was just thinking about that the other day.
She was just,
you know, I mean, lately, how long
ago did the office end because she ended up being
uh what's her name's mother in the one of the last episodes of the office
um but you know kimmy schmidt i can't think of a real name right now but uh
and anyway uh but she's still working she's still ellie there. Ellie Kemper. There's so much,
there's so much TV and movies that are streaming that like your favorite
actors are in stuff right now that you don't even watch, you know,
it's like, you gotta really check up on these people.
It's a good way to find interesting shows too.
If you know, somebody cool is in a supporting role.
There's this actress, lennon parham who's been on douglas movies a few times very funny she is a supporting character in this new show minx
oh yes she's the sister of the main character and she's just so so funny and you know the show's
good too but she But she's great.
Speaking of finding somebody, because if I didn't start watching Minx,
I might not have known this actress I liked was even in it, you know?
Yeah.
Okay.
Where are we at?
What's happening?
Okay, we just did letter I. So D, back to, is this John again?
Yeah, letter D.
No, Solomon, no.
Oh, Solomon, I'm sorry solomon d i know what the
theme is but unfortunately do not know any movies that start with the letter d that would be about
it uh yeah i'm very disappointed with myself so i'm just gonna say a movie with letter d
which is gonna be dogma oh that's good that's a good one um yeah and i was just thinking
a funny d title that would you know wouldn't apply because of what it's actually about but
sounds like it would apply is the movie dick oh yes it's close but great yeah but what i you know
i don't know we're not we can never know for sure whether Richard Nixon was gay or not. The movie that I, we can't, you know, with all certainty,
we can't know. But I wrote down a movie called
Death Trap. Because there really was,
there really is a lack of D movies that fit this
category. But strangely, Death Trap does.
All right. So now we're back to John, the letter A.
I think I know the theme, and so I'm going to guess
a movie that definitely has to do with the theme, and that is Ant-Man.
What?
I don't know what you think the theme is
I think I know the theme
but I couldn't think of a movie
with that theme
what I wrote down was a film
called As Good As It Gets
I love that movie
so the next
letter to Blair is U
U which like generally off the top of my that movie. So the next letter to Blair is U.
U?
Which like, generally off the top of my head, if somebody says name of the movie
that begins with the letter U, the only one I can think of
is Uly's Gold.
U?
Or Under. I guess words have the word
Under in them. There's a few of those.
Oh my god.
I don't know.
Yeah, it's even hard just to come up with any movie that begins with you
oh my god oh i know one yeah
yes uh you know if his beloved wife didn't die at the beginning we could have wondered about
what he's up to but but he seems pretty straight.
Whenever I don't know a movie, I immediately
scan my Disney and Pixar
Rolodex.
Alp was a great
pull, but the movie I
picked is what I feel is
an overlooked motion picture
that starred Paul Bettany as
Uncle Frank.
Oh, wow. I never.
Oh, that was on Amazon?
Yeah.
I liked that movie.
It was good.
Mm-hmm.
It was really good.
Paul Bettany is a juggernaut.
Yeah.
I really, when I saw that, and then, you know,
WandaVision and all the different things they called on him to do in that,
like, I'm convinced he's very talented.
Very good actor.
All right.
S is the next letter.
Solomon.
S for Solomon.
Dang it.
Dang it.
Dang it.
Solomon, your brain.
Think of one movie.
It weirdly makes it more difficult when you know the theme.
Yeah.
At least you can just name any movie that begins with S.
But trying to think
of the right one is hard.
I'm just going to go...
It's not a theme, but since I can't think
of anything else, I'll go with Superbad.
You're going to hate this
answer anyway.
It's a movie that was
out over the holidays. It was a Netflix
movie.
Oh, God! out over the holidays. There was a Netflix movie. Oh, God.
Single all the way.
It is a horrid movie.
Yeah, I didn't enjoy that one myself.
Who was in it?
That's weird.
Michael Urie.
Yeah.
And just, you know, it's like the year before gave us that movie what was it called
seasons greetings where it was like the lesbian christmas and that one i kind of enjoyed because
i liked all the actors and you know it was it was funny but it also was frustrating just how
to see a wacky comedy where people going out of their way to try to not admit their sexuality.
It just seems like it didn't seem very forward
thinking. But
Single All The Way just
it takes
forever into the movie before like the premise
you know it already. It's called Single All The Way.
Yeah. I definitely
saw that. I see all of
them. It's too many attractive gay men
not having sex on the first date. It's really
an unbelievable movie.
Fictional.
False premise.
And under usage of
Jennifer Coolidge.
Always. Except for White
Lotus, she's always underused.
And I just love that the sequel to
White Lotus, Jennifer Coolidge is
apparently going to just be the same lady just vacationing somewhere else.
That's so funny.
Like every other character is going to be different.
So I'm very excited.
I love how hard Mike White rides for her.
It's amazing.
Yeah, it was good.
And she still hasn't gotten her Emmy for it because of the timing.
Like she'll be eligible at this next Emmys, I think.
That's not until september
all right um because i the second i saw her on that show she i just knew she was good enough to
you know get all get all the awards because she's always been great but then to just be handed
it was just every scene she was in was so so heartbreaking and funny at the same time
heartbreaking and funny at the same time.
Okay.
A is the final letter in this game.
Probably another tough one.
I don't think we're going to have a winner.
But
go ahead and take a swing
if you want, Sean.
Oh, you don't think we're going to have a winner, A?
I don't, A.
You're probably right.
Oh.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Fuck it.
Avatar.
Maybe there may be some themes I forgot about in that movie.
There's a lot I forgot about in that movie. It was a long movie and I just remember
I just remember them flying around for a little bit and talk of unobtainium.
Which is hard to get apparently.
Alright, because that's what they name all the
they name everything after just what you would say about it.
It's hard to get.
Okay, let's call it unobtainium.
All right.
I wrote down American Beauty.
Oh, that is.
Which is, you know, a problem in so many ways.
It doesn't hold up as a Best Picture winner, I don't think.
I watched it like a year ago and I was like, this is creepy as hell.
It's really creepy. It just gets more so with age.
It's really, really bizarre. So anyway, that's ABC,
these nuts and what we're calling it, we're declaring it a three-way tie.
You all win.
Yes. You all win. Yes. Just for playing, you all win.
You get participation trophies.
And we're going to play our next and final game after this break.
We'll be right back.
We are back.
And anyone can win today.
John Erler gets to go first in our next game,
just because nobody won in the first
game and we'll just go back to the same order we'll go john then blair uh then solomon who for
some reason i just wrote down for you know keeping score purposes i just wrote down georgio which i
i'm not going to start calling that how often How often do people call you that? Like it's a first name.
All the time.
I would say the amount of time people are like, I can't find your information.
Could you try my first name?
Instead of my last name?
Well, that's a good O movie.
There's a movie called O Giorgio.
It is?
About the opera singer, yeah. What's a movie called Oh, Giorgio. It is. About the opera singer, yeah.
Or what's his name?
Pavarotti played someone named Giorgio
in Yes. Oh, maybe it was Yes, Giorgio.
Yeah, I think it was Yes, Giorgio,
not Oh, Giorgio.
That's the secret.
I've heard that too.
Yeah, you've heard it all.
A little bit of No, Giorgio.
All right.
No means no, Giorgio.
Speaking of dirty things that can happen, let's play a game called parental guidance.
You know, the Internet is full of people that want to tell other people what they should watch out for in movies to protect their children.
And there's a whole section based on it on the Internet movie database.
For each movie, they'll go through and list whether they're smoking, drinking, swearing, sex, nudity, violence, violent, sexual nudity, that kind kind of thing they'll just really go after it
and also they're not great writers so the way they describe things sometimes is hilarious so i will
read a piece of parental guidance that's not very helpful in determining the answer and john
erler will get to go first and guess when he misses it I will give a second clue
that's a little bit more helpful and Blair will be able to take those two clues and guess if she
misses it then we go to Solomon he gets a third clue that makes should make it even more easier
to figure out what movie I'm talking about and if if he misses, goes back to John for one last,
this will definitely give it away clue.
And then each round we're playing three rounds, each round,
each of you will get a chance to go first.
So all of you will have a shot at that.
Give me at the end, if nobody can figure it out.
That seems fair.
Yeah.
And then I got a tiebreaker ready to go
if you all manage to
tie it up in any way.
Just one point
for each round is available.
John, are you ready?
Yes.
What movie do you think
has
this happen in it?
A character gets a knife thrown at him, but it misses.
Come on.
That sounds like Daredevil to me.
I was just going to say that's easy.
That's Daredevil.
Yeah, you know, Ben Affleck, even though he's blind in that movie,
he's going to dodge a simple knife throw.
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
One of them he doesn't.
It gets stuck in his shoulder. Oh, no.. Yeah. One of them he doesn't. It gets stuck in his shoulder.
Oh, no. Yeah. Sorry. Spoiler
alert.
Just that people are
throwing knives at a blind guy is pretty...
I'm going to watch this movie again.
To be fair, one of the villains was named
Bullseye. They didn't do their job at hitting his
mark. Right.
That's right. I forgot to mention Colin
Farrell is amazing. Yeah. And he's with his henchman
shoulder knife.
Okay. So what's your guess, John? Do you have a guess?
Okay. It's a, that's, this is easy. This is easy. I was going to guess
daredevil, but you already, I think it's probably not the right answer because
you, you brought it up.
It's going to be
it's going to be that movie
about magic
and tricks,
which is
the prestige.
But that's not going to be
it because you just did a gimme
of it to me. And I was about to say
prestige, but if you just fed it to me that's not
going to be it you think
oh fuck
I could just be
explaining to you that you know you've
got the right movie
it seems unlike you're right I wouldn't
give you the answer I don't think you would give me
a gimme like that so thank you for that
accidental gimme
um other movies about tricks gimme like that. So thank you for that accidental gimme.
Other movies about tricks,
I'm going to say The Lone Ranger.
I'm going to say that that
is incorrect.
I just found my
incorrect noisemaker.
Blair, you get that clue
plus this one.
A character admits with a
positive attitude that she went
skinny dipping in front of her children
at a public lake.
Oh, shit.
Yeah, very specific.
Oh, no. oh shit yeah very specific oh no i like that she's she's telling the story with a positive attitude that's why it's a parental warning like she's giving she's putting a positive
spin on skinny dipping in front of the children god i love skinny dipping okay at first I was going to, I had knives and stuff. I was thinking maybe something Tarantino now skinny dipping in front of
children. God.
And she's just saying that she, you know, that she did it sometime.
I don't know if it actually occurs in the movie. Right. Okay.
You know, that's how much they warn you. They'll warn you about things.
They'll warn you about hearsay.
They'll warn you about things they talk about in the movie
knives um god uh i'm like i don't know i'm gonna say knives out i don't know
this is the way this early christmas game works if you could think of a movie where a knife gets
thrown at somebody,
that might be the answer.
But obviously, there's so many to choose from and so many to not remember.
Here's the third clue for Solomon.
There is a scene involving Mr. Brown who cross-dresses as a cleaning lady
and the safety guard
oh my god yeah so can you think of any movies that have a mr brown who would dress as a cleaning lady
and not any safety guard the safety guard i'm trying to oh my god it's not this is not correct but i know it's a comedy i now
is it old school no it is not old school john you get the giveaway clue and i apologize in
advance this doesn't actually give it away yeah but i feel like it should here we go
give it away, but I feel like it should. Here we go.
Nicole Kidman's character is a taxidermist who wants to stuff the title character and put him in a museum.
Oh, okay.
That's so funny. I thought I had it with Blair's
clue, but then with Solomon's, I lost it. But I think
I got it back, and i think the movie is
paddington that is correct i knew it i knew it when you said nicole kidman
yeah that's that's why i call that one the giveaway um uh all of that information is
pretty telling that it's
paddington but also i guess you know mr brown if you're a paddington fan you might recognize that
character name i saw the movie i do not recall a lady telling saying that she swims naked in front
of her children uh and i think the knife might have been do you think somebody throws a knife
at paddington god i hope not. That poor
little guy. I mean, he goes through
a lot of shit in
that movie, so
I wouldn't be surprised. Maybe it was
like a butter knife.
It doesn't say what kind of knife it was.
Alright, so John gets
the gimme point, but it's a point
nonetheless. And Blair,
you're in the catbird seat now because you get
to go first in this next round.
You get the toughest clue and then
maybe the easiest clue.
This one starts with
the first half of the movie
has several scenes
with the two main characters
doing weed.
Pineapple Express.
Great guess.
Not the correct answer.
But I appreciate
the speediness
of your answer.
There should be speed points.
Okay, Solomon.
During the party scene,
a man gets stabbed in the hand.
Gosh, dang it.
So much knife play in these clues today.
Does Harold and Kumar go to White Castle?
It isn't, but terrific guess.
Both of those things feel like they would happen in that movie.
Clue number three, going to John Erler.
One use of cocksucker by Mark Wahlberg,
but it's hard to hear and easy to miss.
So they're warning people,
hey, make sure your kids
don't watch this movie where this
thing's going to happen where they probably won't notice it
anyway.
Right.
Like they're searching for
cocksuckers.
They're like going out of their way.
What did he just say under his breath?
We got to find out and tell people so that they don't watch something where they're not going to
know what he just said. Right.
Do you have any guesses? Obviously it's a Mark Wahlberg.
Right. I was going to say Paddington too, until I heard Mark Wahlberg,
but let's see.
Yeah, I don't know. I'm just going to say
Boogie Night, but that's probably not it.
It's probably not it.
Probably incorrect.
There's some cocksucking in that movie.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
Cocksucking.
Damn.
Where are we at?
Okay, Blair gets the easy clue.
Yes. Do you feel like you're honing in on it or do you feel like you're still
I have a guess. I'll meet. I have a guess. Okay. Well, here's
the clue that's going to give it away. A man and
a talking stuffed animal.
Wait.
A man and a talking stuffed animal what? Drink and get
drunk a lot. Ted or Ted who?
Which one do you want to go? It's Ted. It's Ted.
I said Ted first. You did.
You're covering your bases.
All right. blair got the this is all working out according to plan
we're going to have to play a tiebreaker if if this works out for solomon uh here's your first
clue this is the one that you know probably won't give it away uh two topless women sit in a hot tub as a man videos them.
At one point, they lick each other's tongues.
Wild things?
No.
Oh, that's good, though.
Yeah, it's really good.
Yeah, that's a good guess.
John, here's your clue.
Okay.
Okay.
John, here's your clue.
Okay.
A gay man tries to kiss another man who is straight and rejects him in disgust.
Hmm.
Oh.
Hmm.
Shit.
I'm going to say Boogie Nights.
You just said Boogie Nights. I'm going to say it again. Are you just going to say Boogie Nights. You just said Boogie Nights.
I'm going to say it again, Doug. Are you just going to say it every time?
Don't try to stop me.
Every possible...
That is correct.
It is Boogie Nights.
You did it.
Unbelievable.
Wow.
You tried to stop me.
Yeah.
The Philip Seymour Hoffman, Mark Wahlberg scene.
Philip Seymour Hoffman, brilliant actor always,
but that scene is so damn good and so sad.
And the final clue, the easy,
suppose the easy one was going to be a man exposes his penis for 10
seconds.
This is obviously a prosthetic and meant to be funny.
I do.
I,
you know,
I've seen boogie nights a few times and I don't feel like that moment's
supposed to get a laugh.
I don't know.
I laughed.
I mean, it's shocking. So shocking so i guess yeah so people are laughing
out of just pure like to be fair i do laugh whenever i see a penis which makes my love life
very difficult well you know and uh maybe you should watch minx alone because uh that show is
it's the most penises i've ever seen in any piece of modern entertainment.
Besides Jackass,
the most current one.
Oh,
the current Jackass.
You see all their dongs.
Oh,
it's straight dong.
The whole time.
It is 24,
seven dong in the new Jackass and balls and butthole.
Like it is.
You see it all.
Wow. It's like being a doctor or is. You see it all. Wow.
It's like being a doctor or something.
It is like being a doctor.
It's just like being a doctor watching the new jackass.
Yeah.
You get to check out all that,
all that private stuff.
I was going to watch,
I was going to watch free guy,
but now I'm going to watch.
Yeah.
Yeah. The working title for the new Jackass was butthole forever.
They decided they should stick with the kids.
Keep the Jackass in there just to get people Jackass.
Well, I guess I could have gone with, but congratulations, John.
Earlier. You did it. You are a winner today. Thank you. Yeah. Very, very impressive.
Also, you know, you were throwing around Paddington 2 earlier,
which was the answer in the tiebreaker question. Oh, wow.
That we didn't need to use. The tiebreaker is
just the easiest, you know, it's just one giveaway clue.
And so the clue I had for Paddington 2 was
the scene where Paddington almost drowns is quite intense.
I didn't win this episode,
but I actually did come out on top, remembering
that I need to watch Paddington 2
again. Oh, okay, yeah.
It's a classic,
and it keeps coming up. I just saw it referenced
in something last
night, and I saw
it referenced in a movie a few weeks
ago, so really it's having
its day, this
Paddington movies and i
guess they are going to make a paddington 3 they need to paddington 2 is one of the best movies of
all time and i am a shrewd critic so i think i i think i even read some casting news that they got
somebody cool to play the villain in the third one but but now I can't remember. Because Hugh Grant is like, that was award caliber, his
work in Paddington 2. All the time.
He's so fun in that.
He's never, you know, when he first started
he was kind of fun, setter and guy.
But then, you know,
he mostly plays serious roles, you know,
like, oh no, who am I getting blessed?
But now he's like,
the bad guy in Paddington 2 and having
the time of his life.
He's so fun in that movie.
There's choreography.
Anyway.
So, John, congratulations.
We'll be having you back on the show soon.
I mean, everybody's going to come back.
That goes without saying.
But John will be back the soonest.
And what would you like to plug today, John?
the soonest and uh what would you like to plug today john um just uh you can see us riff movies four nights a week from wednesday to saturday and we're on twitch and it's free and just go to twitch
and probably see something you like on the evenings of wednesday thursday friday and saturday

we do Empire Records on Friday
but I'm not sure yet
oh okay
Empire Records and Daredevil
yeah
it's really become a thing
lately of like people
you know when you're on social
media you'll find out if a
date gets mentioned in a in a movie that's got any kind of popularity right uh it just sort of
comes up when that date comes around that's right um so that's that's always fun exactly mean mean
girls uh mean girls day what is that like october 23 or something i thought it was in the single
digits but it's definitely October, yeah.
Yeah, early October, I think you're right.
But anyway,
thank you, John,
for being here and for
winning again.

and I'm not trying to lie,
I have to watch it.
That'll be satisfying.
Don, it would be less
painless if you
didn't guess things
on guess two.
