Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seats with 50 azipop or kernels in his teeth.
They're still not warm, that he won't sleep, but Doug loves movies.
Hey, hey, hey everybody. My name's Doug and this is Doug Loves Movies.
This is Doug Loves Movies. This is Doug Loves Movies.
That's
twice in like the last month or two that I've
done that. I've totally fucked it up.
Coming to you once again from
the UCB Theater in Los Angeles,
California in the year
2015 on Tuesday,
January 13, going on
30.
Since last I spoke and you listened,
I did a stand-up show at Spokane, Washington,
where many members of the audience
suffered from Amy Adams disease,
which is the inability to not yell out answers
during the games.
I did a stand-up show at a rock club in Spokane,
and it was a great turnout, awesome crowd, super fun show.
But I dared to try to play Last Man Stanton at the end, and everybody in the audience just thought it was,
the game was just everybody yells out the answers.
They didn't give a shit about the people on the stage.
And they all just started yelling out names of, it was Kevin Costner that we were doing,
and they all just started yelling out Kevin Costner names,
and so it got kind of crazy.
I got kind of mad at them, as you can imagine.
But other than that, it was a super fun show,
and everybody there was really, really nice to me.
So Spokane, I keep getting apology tweets from people.
Sorry how my city treated you or whatever.
And it's like, well, no, I just
won't play that game again next time.
I'll tell a few more dick jokes and then say goodnight.
And everybody would have gone home
happy. Charleston, South Carolina.
I'm doing stand-up this Friday,
January 16th at the
Sotil Theater. I hope I'm
pronouncing that right. As part of
the Charleston Comedy Festival. That's
this Friday.
And then San Francisco, we're doing the final two Twilight movies.
We've done three of them in San Francisco at the Castro Theater.
We're going to bang out the last two as part of Sketch Fest on February 7th and 8th.
Sketch Fest, sfsketchfest.com for tickets. I've got
amazing comics interrupting
on both of those.
As I always do. I always try to get amazing people.
Now it's time for Tweet Relief.
Tweets about movies.
At Tidmore, T-I-D-M-O-R-E
Tidmore tweeted about the movie
Whiplash.
Whiplash is the best
Whiplash since Snidely.
This has been tweet relief.
Tweets that no one's going to even get.
But it made me laugh.
And the prize bag, you guys, is so full of stuff.
It's really, it's one of those Apple store bags that you can turn into a backpack, and you're going to need to, because this stuff is so heavy.
Like, there's a bag of these in here.
There's a t-shirt and a sticker from All Things Comedy.
The sticker says you're an All Things Comedy supporter.
That's Bill Burr and Al Madrigal and some other people, podcasters, all got together and started their own podcasting.
What do you call it?
It's like a society network, but it's run by all the comics.
There's nobody like, I guess they're all in charge of themselves.
A Poke Bowl, as featured on
Getting Doug with High.
And we're going to have to talk
to the guests about the next few things. Oh, a lighter,
of course, from Chameleon Glass.
Oh, and a Sharpie we've got to tell you about.
You're not going to believe
this Sharpie, you guys.
It's crazy.
Let's give a big big warm welcome to my four
guests tonight. Pat Francis,
Brent Weinbach,
Milana Weintraub,
and John Hodgman.
Hey.
That's Milana, everybody, and she's back.
Hi.
Fine trub.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, I just, so, my whole mind,
that's all I could think about the whole time.
Was not saying my name wrong?
Yeah.
You said a lot of other things before that.
I know, but they're all written down, and they're all words that I know how to pronounce.
But then you look at your name written as it's spelled, and it's not, it doesn't seem like it would be pronounced Vintrop.
Okay, well, I'll never give you a hard time for saying it wrong.
All right.
Even though you do every time.
That was wrong again?
No.
Yes.
All right.
You brought a bag of cuties?
Yeah, they're cuties.
Where'd you get these?
Oh, at the orchard.
Oh, the one over on Pico and... No, the orchard across the street at Gelson's.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
Beautiful Gelson's Orchard.
Well, thank you for bringing those.
I also brought some gummy treats
just to pass out individually for everyone,
even the losers.
So when do you pass those out?
I know you mentioned that it was a tradition because you did it the first time you were on the show. I've done it pass those out? I know you mentioned
that it was a tradition
because you did it
the first time you were on the show.
I'd done it once
and I want to do it again
and that makes it a tradition.
So when did you pass them out
last time?
Like now?
After I won.
Then you walked around
and poured them
into people's mouths?
Here, I'll do it right now.
Okay.
But you can continue
with your podcast.
Yeah, that'd be great. Okay. I'm not going to continue with your podcast. Oh, yeah, that'd be great.
Okay.
I'm not going to stop everything for this.
No, it's not going to be very interesting to the people not here.
It's kind of fun to listen to,
imagine that Lily from the AT&T commercials
is walking around the room giving everyone a gummy.
What a gracious guest. This feels like a gummy. What a gracious guest.
This feels like a cult.
That's John Hodgman, everybody.
His first appearance in the L.A. version of the show, I believe.
I do, too.
Spelled Weintraub, pronounced Hodgman.
And you brought
something that was delivered to you in a custom bag with artwork on it, so you added your name to it.
There's a guy named Jeffrey Rowland who makes T-shirts for my Judge John Hodgman podcast.
And I asked him to send a large Judge John Hodgman neutral T-shirt
and then an extra large Canadian House of Pizza and Garbage T-shirt,
which is one of our main sponsors on the podcast.
And I believe that that's what's in that bag,
but I don't know because I didn't open it.
And I didn't open it because Jeffrey or his wife Holly decorated the bag.
They sent it to me with a picture of a sperm whale on it and a very beautiful calligraphed H.
And so I figured we'll make that part of the prize as well.
And you'll also get their address on the return shipping label and information about where I stay irresponsibly in Hollywood.
There you go.
And what brings you out to California?
Are you visiting for a particular project
or something? Just doing the podcast circuit.
Well, you know, I'll be back in LA
I mean, New York on March
8th if you want. You could have just stayed
home and I'd bring it to you.
I'll see you then. Okay, bye.
Thanks everybody.
That joke would imply that the podcast circuit was only your podcast.
True.
That's Brent Weinbach, everybody.
Brent Weintraub is correct.
Brent brought for the prize bag
a piece of paper that he's
turned into a coupon.
That I found at an orchard.
It's a coupon.
Good for one
Mostly Live album.
By you.
By me.
Mostly Live is the name of the album.
So that's a coupon.
So what do you do?
Like, you shove this in the internet?
How do you redeem it?
You just hold onto it, put it underneath your pillow.
I'll come in at night.
I'll come through the window.
And you'll find a special gift the next morning.
It might not be the CD.
It's not something sexual, though, in case some of you are laughing at that possibility.
And Pat Francis is here, you guys.
Hello.
Another return guest.
These are all return guests.
So there's going to be some excellent gameplay tonight.
It's going to be very exciting.
I brought a bunch of stuff.
You brought so many things.
I went crazy.
Yeah.
Let's start with your wife.
I brought my wife. Wait, who wrote this book? That's my wife. My crazy. Yeah. Let's start with your wife. I brought my wife.
Wait, who wrote this book? That's my wife.
My wife! Okay.
I screwed it up.
She's a big deal.
Yeah, she wrote this book about
a screenwriting
teacher. Am I married?
I don't think I'm married. She wrote a book
called The Coffee Break Screenwriter.
And also signed it. Did she write something funny in there? I'm married. She wrote a book called The Coffee Break Screenwriter and also signed it.
Did she write something funny in there?
I doubt it.
Maybe her name is funny.
What is her name?
It's Pilar Alessandra.
I'm going trouble.
She wrote
Love Movies, Love Writing,
Love Your Story.
And then she signed it.
Not funny at all.
No.
Inspirating.
Unless you find love ridiculous.
To get a goddamn sense of humor.
I know.
No, but it's a nice sentiment.
And then, speaking of things that are hilarious,
you thought someone in this audience
might enjoy owning an Eddie Money CD.
Well, now wait a minute.
That's just not any Eddie Money CD.
Oh, it is.
That is autographed by Eddie Money.
It is autographed by Eddie Money, you guys.
Yeah, Google
him.
You'll figure out who he is.
Yeah. Oh, he's in those commercials for
Geico. Yeah, he looks like a nutjob.
Yeah. He really does.
He really looks crazy. I like the one
where the guy spikes the lunch meats.
I like that one, too. It's so funny.
And then you also brought a Never Not Funny podcast-a-thon.
What do you call this thing?
Tumblr?
That's something that, yeah, what do you call that?
Cup.
I call it a cup.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
But it's really sturdy.
It's something you get for free and then throw away.
It's a really sturdy item, though.
That's from...
Shouldn't there be a straw that goes with it?
You know what?
Look.
I didn't say it was never used.
I just brought it along.
And I brought one more thing
that you wanted to chat about.
That Sharpie.
Oh, that's right.
It's the worst promotional item
in the history of promotional items.
Yeah, because it says on it,
in the same lettering but very small,
is the Cheap Trick.
It's the Cheap Trick font.
Font.
Google them.
They opened for Eddie Money a few times.
It says the official Pat Francis autograph pen.
Right.
Wait a minute.
Huh?
What?
Can I see it?
Sure. You didn't get
Monogrammed Sharpies
Yeah
I did
I want this
I mean I don't want
This dumb one
With your name on it
But
You want
You want ones
With your name on it
Oh I do
I do
And then I don't have
To sign anything
I just hand them the pen
Might
Might I recommend
An ACDC font?
I'd have to Google it. Okay. Alright.
That did just give me
a great idea. I'm going to
sign Pat's pen.
This is meta.
Yeah.
I'm going to sign it with my Sharpie.
Does Sharpie write on Sharpie?
It does.
Is there nothing Sharpie can't do?
Is that a custom Sharpie
pen you're writing with?
They printed Sharpie on it?
This is, man, this is the...
It's not easy.
Yeah, but I did it. That looks good.
Sharpie writing on Sharpie is like a snake
eating its own tail.
A really stupid snake.
So all of that is in the prize bag tonight.
Someone's going to win.
And I'm kind of excited about, this is a first for me, I think.
Oh, if anyone wins the prize bag, hand me that piece of garbage cup,
and I'll throw it away for you.
Provides such a service.
Brent actually said to me,
when I asked him to come on the show again, he said,
or maybe he said the next time
I'm on the show, but however it came up,
he basically named a game that he wants
to play, and
didn't know necessarily the name of the
game, but he described it in enough detail that I
know what he's talking about.
What's that?
Last time I did it, you called it Seth Rogen.
Right.
So that's how I know it as.
I don't know if that's the name of it still.
Oh, okay.
I would have recognized that.
Okay.
But you said, let's just play that game where everybody names the actors.
Yeah.
No, not the actors, the movies that an actor was in.
Yeah, yeah.
See, you described it beautifully.
Yeah, I think that's even better than Seth Rogen, I think.
I knew exactly.
Well, it's called Last Man Stanton.
Oh, okay, that's, okay, good.
And we're going to play it in a moment.
But first...
Tease.
Yeah.
But first, we have to determine who you will be playing for today.
So I'm going to say, let the games begin.
And the name tags will come out.
And you guys all go select who you want to play for.
And while you do that, we're going to do this.
We're going to take a quick commercial message.
We're going to talk about our friends over at Xero.
X-E-E.
Why am I doing the ad?
Let's just listen to it.
We'll be right back. And we're
back!
That was a
really thorough process
there where you chose your name tags.
I know which one I like the best. I know the one
that's got the highest retail value.
But, uh...
Let's start with Milana.
Who are you playing for down there?
I'm playing for Chad, Buddy Chad.
Oops, I didn't look at the back.
That's Chad.
Okay.
You can look at the back.
We just don't want you to say it out loud.
Okay.
What kind of an animal is that dressed like Marty McFly?
What is that?
What is it, Chad?
It's a panda.
Is that Marty McFly? Yeah, it is.
Very nice.
Can I say something about Chad?
Sure.
No, you prefer I didn't?
No, and then especially when Judge
John Hodgman had my back on that.
Sorry. Thanks.
Sounds like at least two of us
want to hear about Chad. I'm just saying that Chad's
my friend. Is that cheating? Wait, you're playing for your own friend? Well, I feel... Sounds like at least two of us want to hear about Chad. I'm just saying that Chad's my friend. Is that cheating?
Wait, you're playing for your own friend?
Cheating Chad.
Well, I feel like I owe him...
You can't play for your friend.
It's a conflict of interest.
No, the interest is still just me.
That Sharpie's going to go to Chad,
and then you'll be like,
thanks, Chad, I'll take the Sharpie home.
I thought she was going to do it with the Clementines.
Yeah, it could be anything. to do it with the Clementines. Yeah, it could be anything.
I really just want the Clementines.
But can I explain to you
please why I have a special
interest in my friend Chad besides him being
my friend? Is that he taught me how to
play the Molten Game and I won last time
and I feel like he deserves a little bit of
celebration.
You almost got
a third of the crowd.
I refuse to applaud.
It's only the people I gave gummy bears to.
I refuse to
applaud for this crooked,
corrupt... I can't believe I flew
across the country for this podcast.
And now it's being
rigged by this cult leader
handing out gummy bears and currying favor and playing for her friends.
Who are you playing for, John?
Some stranger that I don't know.
The way it should be.
She handed me a poster that says The Adventures of Chris Tintin.
And it has a female version of the Belgian comic book character Tintin and it has a female version of the
Belgian comic book character Tintin.
A female Tintin, which has been
a fantasy of mine for a long time.
Because her name's Kristen.
Is that what it is?
I thought maybe your name was Chris Tintin.
Which would be great.
Did you do the art on this? It's beautiful.
Very nicely done. And I won't read what's on the back, though I find it to be hilarious. So, do the art on this? It's beautiful. Very nicely done.
And I won't read what's on the back, though.
I find it to be hilarious.
So you all better hope I win.
No, we gotta hope you lose.
Well, I know I hope I lose.
Brent, who are you playing for?
I'm playing for Daniel.
He brought what looks like a thing you hang on a door knob.
It's a do looks like a thing you hang on a door it's a door it's a it's a do not disturb
door thing and uh on the front it has the marshmallow man and it says are you the key
master which is that phrase jumped out at me that question jumped out at me because it's a
question that means a lot to me as somebody who wears a chastity belt every friday night and I also was intrigued by this because it's a Ghostbusters themed door thing
and it even has a back that says,
it says back off,
well he changes to Dan, I'm a scientist,
but I'm just wondering what hotel is this
that has a Ghostbusters thing on it?
Yeah, where is the Ghostbusters promo?
Is it a hotel? Or is it just a pack of
Ghostbusters themed door hangers?
The one from the movie?
Is the hotel from the movie?
What hotel? Some old hotel
in New York? Oh, the Ghostbusters hotel.
Oh.
Yeah, the classic.
Ghostbusters hotel in New York.
They renamed the plaza Ghostbusters
in honor of the 30th anniversary of the film.
I thought they named it Home Alone in New York.
That's next year.
Oh, okay.
All right.
I think that's neat.
Yeah, that any hotel has that as their door-hanging thing is cool.
There was one hotel in New York that I kept it,
and it's on my door at home
because it just says,
forget about it.
I'm just like, what?
Who are you playing for, Pat Francis?
Well, let me see.
This is like magic.
Push it.
Hello, my name is Justin.
It's just on.
Right on his iPhone.
Right there on his iPhone.
This is an iPhone 6?
Fucking keeping this.
I win.
I was going to say,
I can't think of any other reason
to pick that name tag
because he just put his name
on his phone.
I know.
Like here's,
there you go,
there's my name on my phone
right there.
This is in tribute
to that Chris Evans movie
about the cell phone,
correct?
Yeah.
See?
Oh, there you go.
Can we call his mom?
Can we see that?
Oh, very good.
You should sign this with your Sharpie. Oh, sure. Absolutely
I will. That'd be a nice thing for him to take home.
If you do, just as
a dick, we just all sign the screen.
There you go. Fucking Jace Justin
or whatever your name is.
I'm not even going to win for him now.
Did you pick
that because it was a cell phone? I did.
Yeah.
Why are you wearing a parka?
How about that is the question.
I like to wear protection when I go on podcasts.
I like to make sure I'm safe.
The chilliest man I've ever seen.
I like to be very cozy.
I have a survival knife on me, too.
Oh, no.
There is a gentleman in the audience whose name tag did not get picked,
but he drew something,
and he came all the way from the UK for the show tonight.
I mean, that's not the only reason you came here.
But while you're here, you might as well.
If you didn't come specifically for this, you should get out.
You should just be on the show all the time just you're just bringing down the law on
everybody um what did you really come for to hang out and just see just say you came for this
and everyone will be so happy don't you have any sense of showpersonship at all
like if it was a family death or something then that then then that would be worth relating any sense of showpersonship at all?
Like, if it was a family death or something,
then that would be worth relating.
Right? Do you know? But just to hang out and see a whole bunch of podcasts,
just say, I came to see the show.
I love it so much. Let's do it again.
Go ahead.
Cue him up.
What's your name, by the way? Harris.
Harris. Why... Oh, yeah. I saw Harris is spelled like H-A-A, by the way? Harris. Harris. Harris, why...
Oh, yeah.
I saw Harris is spelled like H-A-A-R-I-S.
Yeah.
Wow.
I don't like this at all.
So why are you here in the United States?
Douglas Movies.
Douglas Movies is his answer.
Wait.
Are you saying you came just for this?
Only for this.
You can stay.
Let me shake your hand.
Sit down.
It's okay.
Alright, so you know the game Last Man
Stanton, and you probably,
when you listen to the show
you probably have names
that you would want to yell out
if you were here in person, suggestions
for who to play the game with
so who should we use tonight?
John Lithgow
I don't like that one
I don't know about that one
I don't know that person
I don't know about that one
I was sure he was going to say Maggie Smith.
How about somebody like Steve Buscemi or someone?
Someone who's been in like 100 movies.
You know, we could just make this game last the whole podcast.
You know that Lithgow's been in more movies than Buscemi, right?
How many?
Fuck.
I would guess.
Or at least as many.
Oh, no, Buscemi's...
Lithgow had a running start.
I love the idea that you've got a whiteboard at home
where you're keeping score.
He's got a tally.
Lithgow versus Buscemi.
Yeah, I just re-stumbled
into that one thing
that I just happen to have
a big dry erase board
at home.
Buscemi.
I have fat heads
of both of them
on the wall
on either side.
Buscemi's been in more movies than anybody.
I don't think that's true.
He's the top movie guy.
Top movie guy.
You can't come here and pick the game and the person.
Yeah, you're really...
I studied the whole Steve Buscemi IMDB
before I got here, and I just wanted to make sure
that we played with him.
You know what, Doug? The whole thing is already rigged because of her.
We might as well play the game that he wants to play. I don't know who this Lithgow guy is! How about somebody like Robert De Niro? You know Buscemi, Doug? The whole thing is already rigged because of her. Yeah. We might as well play the game that he wants to play.
I don't know who this Lithgow guy is.
How about somebody like Robert De Niro?
You know Buscemi, though?
I've heard of him.
Wait a minute.
Really, you don't know Buscemi?
Buscemi's been in every movie.
I'm kidding.
Buscemi's been in every movie.
So that's the idea, is we just name movies,
and we're probably right.
He's been in every movie.
Yeah.
But that way, the game should just be really long-lasting.
What about movies that they've both been in?
Alright, let me think about this for a second.
Buscemi and Lithgow.
No, I don't...
No?
No?
I might have to check my brand new iPhone 6 to find that out.
Guys, who's Lithgow?
Last time we played it, I can't even think of one.
It was Tom Hanks
and that was a great...
Buscemi should have shown up
in This Is 40,
but he didn't.
Buscemi's been in everything.
Except for This Is 40.
But yeah,
I can't think of a Lithgow
Buscemi crossover.
Maybe they really hate each other.
Lithgow was in This Is 40.
You already gave us one.
Why?
You just started us off. Oh, with a Lithgow movie? This Is 40. You already gave us one. Why? You just started us off.
Oh, with the Lithgow movie?
It's a freebie. Alright, Pat's next.
Blowout. Yes.
It's very scary in that one.
Thank you.
Alright, I mean...
See, here's the thing. I'm going to be
out real quick on this one. I think...
Isn't he in Passenger 57 or something?
Here, I got a great game.
For you only, Buscemi movies.
Everyone else, Lithgow.
Who do you want, Milana?
Who do you want to, whose movies do you want to do?
Tom Hanks?
Oh, someone adorable, yeah.
Okay, so she's going to do Tom Hanks.
Are you cool with Lithgow? Yeah, I? Oh, someone adorable. Yeah, sure. Okay, so she's going to do Tom Hanks. Are you cool with Lithgow?
Yeah, I like to play the games.
Yeah, me too.
I want to play the games too.
I'm with By the Rules.
Judge Hodgman.
Cliffhanger.
All right.
So wait, what was your Buscemi?
How about...
What?
No, no.
There's just so many to pick from.
There's so many to pick from.
Yeah, that's why. I don't even know where to start. Zero in on one. Gone with the wind. Let's just so many to pick from. There's so many to pick from. That's why.
I don't even know where to start.
Zero in on one.
Gone with the wind.
Let's go ahead.
Just run the table.
All right.
Let's start with New York stories.
Okay.
I don't even remember if you said that, but I don't care.
He plays Rosanna Arquette's love interest.
All right.
Hodgman says cliffhanger.
Yeah.
Am I playing for real or for, like, girl push-ups?
No, you're for real, but Tom Hanks.
I'm playing for girl push-ups.
Oh.
Or you're out, because you don't know any Lithgow movies.
Can I say the TV show?
No.
What?
Okay, then.
Can I name a book he's written?
Acting.
Acting.
You've got mail.
What, really?
Tom Hanks.
Tom Hanks, guys.
Where did Lithgow do in that?
The one guy I gave gummy bears to
is really my support system here.
Alright, you've got mail. Good job.
Thank you so much.
I'm going to stick with Lithgow
and go, the World According to Garp
Yeah
Pat
I will say
Feel free to switch over
to Steve Buscemi
when he wants to
No
You gotta stay
once we're in
I will say
Harry and the Hendersons
Yes you will
A smattering of applause
for the classic
Okay give me another Buscemi
Living in Oblivion.
Okay.
He's naming movies I don't even know.
He couldn't say anything.
No, that's a good one.
I like that movie.
I don't like it.
You did Garp because that was going to be my back pocket one.
Oh, okay.
Now I've got to go into my other back pocket.
Okay.
Buckaroo Banzai Across the Fifth Dimension.
Oh, very nice.
You're good at everything.
Can I?
No, I think I'm all out of Lithgow now.
Are you high-fiving me?
I can do that, but I also had a question, though, too.
Can I ask you a quick question?
Please.
I would like to compete against somebody.
Can you actually play Steve Buscemi also?
You're so bossy!
I'm saying do both games
Both games
Like Lithgow and Buscemi
Okay whatever
Well then you have to do
Hanks too
Or else she's gonna run away
No I don't mind
Playing against nobody
That means I win
Chad
Still who lasts longest
With whichever name
You've chosen
So people will lose

No, I don't.
The one where
he's the bad guy
and Denzel Washington
is a good guy.
Virtue,
new realities.
You're out.
That's the one I thought was Passenger 57, but it's Wesley Snipes who's in Passenger 57. Something like that. It's a good guy. Virtue, new realities. You're out.
That's the one I thought was Passenger 57,
but it's Wesley Snipes who's in Passenger 57.
Something like that.
It's one of those.
Ricochet, that's what it is.
Ricochet!
Sorry, sorry, sorry. That's what it is.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
That might have been the one that we were going to say next.
That was totally, I'm so sorry.
Could have been the one we were going to say.
Sorry.
Amy Adams!
So sorry.
I'm so bad.
That was bad.
I'm a bad boy.
I'm a bad boy.
Established.
Alright, so you say big for your
Hanks movie.
And I will say
for Lithgow, I'll say
I haven't seen it yet, but he's in this movie with Alfred Molina
that's gotten a lot of raves
called Love is Strange.
Okay.
I will say Rise of the Planet of the is Strange. Okay. I would say
Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Hey, guys, what's another
Tom Hanks movie? Don't help her over there, you guys.
All right.
But I can't believe you're worried
when you're only two Tom Hanks movies deep.
I just,
my brain.
They're only all blockbusters.
Yeah.
We gotta end this game soon anyway, so.
We're gonna put, everybody's on a timer now.
In the soup.
Okay.
Alexandra Rockwell.
You need another Tom Hanks, Milana.
I'm the captain now.
Yes, I'll accept that.
Captain Phillips.
That was its title in Europe, I'll accept that Captain Phillips That was its title in Europe I think
That's what people call it on the streets
I'll say Terms of Endearment
Pat
Well look
Here's what's going to happen
Five seconds
It's that other Brian De Palma one where he plays a couple of characters
I'm out
I'm done
Five seconds It's that other Brian De Palma one where he plays a couple of characters. I'm out. I'm done.
I know that he's... Five seconds.
All right.
How about Miller's Crossing?
No.
He's not in that one.
Miller's Crossing, 100%.
Guaranteed.
I'll bet anybody $200.
I'll bet $100.
He's definitely Miller's Crossing, 100%. No, he's cents. He's definitely
Miller's Crossing.
No, he's not.
He's...
Yes.
Yes.
He was in most
of their movies.
He's in most of their movies.
He's in almost
every Coen Brothers movie.
He plays
John Turturro's
lover
who shows up.
Look it up.
Sure.
Actually,
I watched Miller's Crossing
Because Steve Buscemi was in it
Oh okay
So that's why you've seen
Most of the Coen Brothers movies
Yeah
That's why you've seen all movies
Exactly yeah
Somebody should play
The Steve Buscemi game
Alright so it's back on me
Maybe they're playing at home
I'll switch over to Buscemi
Let's show down Buscemi
Yeah show down Buscemi
Okay Reservoir Dogs
She's still in it
No she isn't
She's not?
What?
She said Captain Phillips.
Oh, I was joking around when I said I'd accept that.
Oh, okay.
Oh.
All right.
Well, then you should have given me a chance to really say it.
That's not how Jeopardy works.
Alex, just let me say what I meant to say.
Which is the correct thing.
Yes.
I thought we were playing
and bantering.
You said we were friends.
On our way to being friends,
I think is how I phrased it.
I'm sorry?
Nothing.
Brent?
All right, Pulp Fiction.
Uh-huh.
He's the waiter in...
I can't believe he changed the game
and he's the last man standing.
It doesn't seem fair.
It's pretty sneaky.
I just wouldn't...
Yeah, sure.
He went with his strengths.
It's sneaky.
That's the strength of Stu Buscemi.
Wait, are you still not doing John Lithgow anymore?
I'm on Buscemi, Big Daddy.
Alright.
Billy Madison.
He's in a lot of his movies too.
I'll go with...
Oh, there's somebody counting down behind me
that's funny
I really do want to
end this game anyway
so I'm out
One more
Alright Trees Lounge
I love how you're acting
like oh this is
Of course
Real quick
John Lithgow though
he was the bad guy
in that Christmas movie
Remember that one?
It's not called
A Christmas Story
Do you remember that one? You know the bad guy in the Santa Claus
Santa Claus the movie that's right yeah it's true some point yeah yeah you can't
win twice yeah the only thing worthwhile in that one real fun real fun playing
with you Brent yeah I hope you feel real good about yourself I mean look you know
John Lithgow come on you know how about we play Trivial Pursuit,
but I'm going to play Cards Against Humanity?
And by the way,
I've stolen all the pieces from Trivial Pursuit.
And half the cards are snakes.
Enjoy!
Have fun with your Jenga.
I brought a paddle ball. Oh, good luck with your Jenga. I brought a paddle ball.
Oh, good luck with your Jenga.
All right, you guys.
We're going to play the Leonard Maltin game.
We're going to do it right.
All right.
Yes.
Everybody's going to...
The playing field is now leveled.
There's no cheating.
We'll start with...
Can we play the Gene Siskel game instead?
We'll start with... I mean, if only Gene Siskel had an app. I know. That'll start with... Could we play the Gene Siskel game instead? We'll start with...
If only Gene Siskel had an app.
That would have been so good.
That would have been perfect.
Does Maltin know you only play his game because he has an app?
I think so, yeah.
Would he take it personally?
Great.
I love how you banter with her.
She also probably doesn't know that Gene Siskel is dead.
What? I know that.
Oh, you do?
Poor guy.
What a touching eulogy.
He was good at the thumbs.
May I reserve you for my death?
When I go, will you stand over my ashes and say,
Sad.
Say, aw, shucks, and then kick them off the Empire State Building?
You're going to have your ceremony at the Empire State Building?
Yeah, I want to take someone out with me.
Okay.
I want to brain someone with my urn.
All right, we're going to start with Brent
and then go to Pat, Milano, John.
All right, movies that Steve Buscemi was in.
No, I'm just kidding.
Go.
And you get to pick the first category, Brent,
between Celebrating Your Birthday Today,
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who I think is amazing.
Everybody else likes her, too.
I'm not sticking my neck
out on that one. It's her birthday today,
so her films, films she's in.
Known for her many, many movies.
She's been in a handful.
Our friend Bonnie McFarlane
suggested the category
Drew Barrymore or Less,
which is, of course, movies that
have Drew Barrymore or less, which is, of course, movies that have Drew Barrymore or Kate Hudson.
Very funny.
At Pat underscore Dwyer suggested
science, yeah!
In honor of our friend T.J. Miller
saying that in Big Hero 6.
And that's science fiction movies
that Leonard really liked,
three stars or more. So these are Leonard that's science fiction movies that Leonard really liked. Three stars or more.
So these are Leonard's favorite science fiction films.
Or movies with Barrymore or Hudson.
Or Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Which one of those do you like?
And wait, who's picking?
Brent is.
What?
Because he won that last game.
I didn't win.
I did not win.
He won the game that he rigged?
I did not.
I did not win.
I did not win.
I did not win. I don not win. I did not win.
I don't consider it.
That's fine.
Aren't you glad you flew in?
The way most people play this game,
getting to pick the category,
gives them very little advantage.
I just hope you come to my funeral.
He'll be the one I kick off.
I'll tell you exactly where to stand on the street.
Let's do Drew Barrymore or less
Alright, so Drew Barrymore or Kate Hudson
Is in this movie
You get to pick a year as well
Would you like 2008 or 2009?
Alright, 2008
Okay
Two and a half stars from Leonard
For this movie that
he says
is sweet
and likable
I can't find
a negative thing in this review and you only gave it two and a half stars
sweet and likable
and
yeah good work by the cast
this is not a bad thing in here And, yeah, good work by the cast.
It's just not a bad thing in here.
He just gives it two and a half stars.
And he lists a lot of names.
He lists eight, 10, 12, 14, 16 names.
How many names can you get it in?
How about four? He says four names, Pat. What do you think about that? four.
He says four names, Pat.
What do you think about that?
Six.
We have to take your initial four.
Six, but three of them are Buscemi.
Change history
and put Buscemi in this movie three times
and I'll play.
Do you want a challenge? I'll play. Think you can do it less, Pat, or do you want a challenge?
I'll challenge.
All right.
Say those magic words.
Brent Weinbach, name that movie.
Okay.
Pat, say those words.
Pat, say the words.
Oh, Brent Weinbach, name that movie that's not a Steve Buscemi movie.
Yes, sir.
That's not for sure.
Oh.
That'd be so amazing if he actually named Steve Buscemi.
All right. Steve Buscemi was in themi Here's your four names I hope he does
Nick Zanno
Marguerite Moreau
Michael Urie
And Eddie Sotelo
Oh boy
And he has a middle name and quotes
P-I-O-L-I-N
Piolin
Oh yeah okay Eddie Piolin? Oh, yeah.
Okay.
That's...
Eddie Piolin Sotelo.
That's the giveaway.
Is that the giveaway name?
Yep.
It's over.
No.
Any idea, Brent?
Miller's Crossing.
Okay.
That is incorrect.
Point goes to Pat.
This movie is called Beverly Hills Chihuahua.
Wow.
Wow.
Was that an animated, like they had the chihuahuas and they animated their snouts to talk?
They kind of talk, yeah.
They all have celebrity voices.
That's why there's so many names listed.
All right.
I couldn't have been more happy with how that went.
All right.
So Pat has a point.
We're going to start with John Hodgman and then move to Milana.
John gets to pick a category.
Would you like cocktail?
And that's movies with drinks named after them at the bar at the Arclight Cinema here in Hollywood.
There are some fun movie drinks on the menu, and I put those movies in the game.
Oh, that's wonderful. I live in a different city.
Inherent Lice?
Nobody here has memorized
the Arclight drink menu.
I highly doubt that. Or even looked at it.
Inherent Lice, of course, is
summer camp movies, and
A Reptile Dysfunction
is a movie where
an alligator or a crocodile
attacks someone.
Oh, that one.
You like that one?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A reptile dysfunction.
The year is 1980.
Three stars from Leonard for this movie.
This has got an alligator or a crocodile in it.
He says
it has a knowing screenplay.
Knowing. Yeah. It has a knowing screenplay.
Knowing.
Yeah.
He also says an actress in the movie does a hilarious self-parody.
Okay. And he also says you do not want to miss the graffiti in the final scene.
Okay.
And then he lists.
It looks like
he's got about 11 names here
12 names
11 names
how many stars for this movie?
and it's 3 stars
and if I get it
I get a point
no if you get it
Brent gets a point
probably
I mean to say does it go to Milana next? No, if you get it, Brent gets a point. Probably.
I mean to say, does it go to Milana next?
Yes.
Okay, so he's not a factor.
So she's the one that could challenge you.
Yeah, he's far from a factor in this round.
He's in my head, obviously.
Yes.
That's the way to win right there. He could become a factor.
Yeah, he's building a den in my head right now.
You no longer like Steve Buscemi.
Well, since this could possibly
benefit... I'm surrounded
by cheaters.
I have a hunch. I was offered a leg
up. I did not ask for help.
It was just given... Oh, the Chad thing.
I forgot. I'm going to say zero names.
He says zero names.
Okay.
You fucking better name that movie
John
Yeah so let's hear it
What's it called
My feeling is that it's alligator
Your feeling is correct
Alligator
That's good
And you know what he did it fair and square
That's been in here for months and nobody
Picks it up like how many movies have crocodiles
And alligators in them?
I knew when you said the category,
I was like, he's going to do alligator.
And then I was knowing screenplay
because it's screenplay by John Sayles.
Oh, so you're
knowing, that's for sure.
I'm sorry to give you a peek into how the mind
of a fair player works.
It's scary.
All right, John's on the board.
Apologies to Put Your Hands Together.
And we'll go back to Brent once again
and then to Pat.
And Brent gets a bit between Tango and Cash,
which of course is movies
that have a dance contest in them.
LOL Cool J, which is comedies with LOL Cool J.
And Minerva
Dreaming suggested The Babadookie.
It's a play on
the horror film that's out now called The Babadook.
The Babadookie, that's
horror movies that
Leonard gave two stars or less.
So it's horror movies that Leonard did not
care for. And it's not a genre
he loves to begin with. Or LL Cool J or Dance Contest. Which one would you like, Brent? Alright, let's do the horror movies that Leonard did not care for. And it's not a genre he loves to begin with.
Or LL Cool J or Dance Contest.
Which one would you like, Brent?
All right, let's do the horror movies.
All right.
You get to pick a year again.
Would you like 2006, 2010, or 2011?
That's an awful lot of choices for Brent.
It's all random.
That's very interesting.
None of them are from the 1980s, that's just where
I'm stuck.
And so, let's do
alright, let's do
2011. Okay.
Two stars from Leonard for this horror movie
from 2011.
He says,
there's little here to get bloody excited about
because he likes to have fun
with language.
What a night he must have had that night.
Yeah.
He's like, is anybody surprised by this
movie?
And he lists
a lot of names. There's six, nine, eleven, fourteen, nineteen names.
Yeah. And I can't really pick out any other clues other than I'll just say that it's 111 minutes long.
Okay.
19 names.
You're taking 19?
Sure, yeah.
All right.
Strong opening bid, Pat. That was Milana Vaynchuk listening.
I don't know if you're listening at home.
Well, I can name it in 18.
He says 18 names.
Definitely.
Pat Francis says 18 names.
Pretty sure.
How much did this guy
say? 19. Doesn't matter.
I would really like you to
name that movie. 17 names?
I don't mean to yell at you.
You couldn't name the movie
in 17 names? It's at eight. I don't mean to yell at you. You couldn't name the movie in 17 names?
It's a tactic.
But just so you know, also, he'll also win, too.
He'll win if you let him try to beat it right now.
But if... Right, because he's already got a point.
Right.
Take a moment.
But what if I get a point from this?
Then what happens?
That would be great. Yeah, that would be
fun. But it's just, I think what
everybody's trying to say is that he's getting a lot of names.
I know that 18's a lot.
Hang on, everyone, just be quiet for a second, because I think
she's receiving transmissions from Chad in her earwig.
Yeah, yeah. Telling her what to do.
Chad? Oh, Chad
says 17. 17 then? Telling her what to do. Chad? Chad? Oh, Chad says 17.
17 then? Chad would know what to do.
Chad, what should I do?
17? Yeah. I'm gonna do 17.
16.
Wait, you said 17?
How many did you say, Pat? You said 18.
I said 18. 19, 18, 17. 17. Okay. And John says 16,
Brett. Ay. Alright.
I'm gonna Alright
I want to keep the game going
I think you can do it though
For the sake of keeping the game
What are you trying to keep going?
We need to wrap it up buddy
Name it
Is that alright?
What do you think?
You guys are my chat What do you think? Should I ask him to name it? You guys are my chat. No, 15 names?
Yeah, what do you think?
What are you, dumb?
He's already named one without any names.
You're right, you're right.
Why would you give him 15 names?
16, actually.
Just try to play this game like you're trying to win it.
Like, play it strategically.
All right, all right, all right.
I'm going to take the next step up, which is, what did you say, 15?
I said 16.
16, 15, 15.
He says 14. That said 15. I said 16. 16, 15, 15. He says 14.
That's 13.
Yeah.
Name that movie.
Let's do it.
I think you can do it.
All right.
Chad.
Sorry, Chad.
It's over.
It's a horror movie.
I like that you said that without any help from Chad, too.
It was just like totally. Oh no he's in my head.
Oh he is. Okay. You have 13
names. You've become Chad. Okay.
This is a horror movie in 1996.
2011.
2011. Great.
Not too long ago.
And your
13 names are
Brittany Robertson
Shanae Grimes
Marlee Shelton
Kristen Bell
Anna Paquin
Allison Brie
Adam Brody
Anthony Anderson
Marielle Jaffe
Eric Knudsen
Lucy Hale
Mary McDonald
and Nico Tortorella.
13 out of 19.
Those last six might be very helpful.
Don't look to Chad.
Any idea?
Schindler's List.
No, is it not? Always a fun guess, but that's List. No, is it not?
Always a fun guess, but that's incorrect.
I think Leonard gave Schindler's List
a little bit more than two stars.
I think he gave it two and a half
and called it sweet.
With great graffiti in it.
Yeah.
But that was a lot of names.
Does anybody on the panel know it?
I have no idea.
Paranormal Hostel.
Just what's a horror
movie where they would have a big cast
where there's pretty big names that are
that low on the list?
I know what you did a couple summers ago.
Scream.
It's a Scream movie.
Scream 4 is the answer.
But John Hodgman
is our winner.
Fair and square.
I mean, yeah,
for kids listening at home,
the only two people
that have points
are the people
that played it Fair and Square.
John Hodgman.
And you know what? That's why I cheated
is because I wanted to show that lesson.
I wanted to teach that lesson, actually.
I was playing the role of the bad boy.
And I cheated because I want to win.
So that didn't work either.
But Chad's got a good shithead on the back
that I'm going to read, right?
There you go. So that worked out okay. Do you have anything you'd like to plug? Are we on the back that I'm going to read right yeah there you go so that worked out okay
do you have anything
you'd like to plug
are we going to see
is Lily going to do
be in a Super Bowl commercial
I don't know
you know
no I have no idea
when is the Super Bowl
soon
I don't know
yeah soon
so you didn't do one
like with a football player
no I haven't made any of those
special for the Super Bowl
but I would like to plug

I have a question.
Are you having a nice time having a national television ad commercial campaign?
My life's so good, dude.
I work like 20 days a year. Never forget this time in your life.
What's it like after?
What happens after this?
You will fly across the country to do podcasts.
That's what happens.
Pat Francis nailed it.
You want me to talk into a thing?
I'm on my way.
No, I'll pay.
Don't worry.
I'm on my way. No, I'll pay. Don't worry. I'm coming.
What do you got to plug, Judge John?
Well, everyone should listen to the Judge John Hodgman podcast,
which you can listen to, download, subscribe, discuss,
disputemaximumfund.org.
I listen to real disputes from real people from all over the country
and the world.
We had callers from Colombia and Australia last week.
It was amazing.
And I know how their justice system works.
So they call up with their fights, and I tell them who's right and who's wrong.
Wow.
No matter what country they call in from?
Yeah, because I know immediately who's wrong.
I know immediately who's right.
And then it's just hearing them tell their dumb stories.
Yo, do you know if it was Jay or Adnan?
Yes.
Okay.
Who was it?
I don't want to get into this, you guys.
Okay.
But listen to the podcast and you'll find out.
Maybe, yeah.
What if I were, yeah. Listen to the, thank you'll find out. Maybe, yeah.
