Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies,
50 seats with 50 azotop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not more that he won't see,
because Doug loves movies.
I got some wild animals in here.
Hey, hey, hey, everybody.
My name is Doug, and I love movies.
This is Crocodile's Movies.
I knew you would nail it.
Coming to you for the first time ever from hereafter
at the Crocodile Rock Club in Seattle, Washington.
Thank you. from hereafter at the Crocodile Rock Club in Seattle, Washington!
It's great to be back in Seattle.
I had tossed salad and scrambled eggs for breakfast today.

Doug Loves Movies is coming to the Settle down.
Douglas Movies is coming to the WDVE Comedy Festival in Pittsburgh on Saturday, July 15th at 420. And we're coming back to San Diego for Comic-Con on Wednesday, July 19th at the American Cock Comedy Cock Company.
at the American Cock-Comedy Cock-Company.
And if you're listening to this on Monday,
the day after we tape it, July 10th,
come see me do stand-up tonight at the Punchline in Sacramento.
For all of my dates and deets and links,
go to DouglovesMovies.com.
That's DouglovesMovies.com!
Yeah!
Hurrah!
Wallet! Shh! Hey, Tansy! What a goddamn cult I've created.
And it's worth, I can't use it for anything, really.
Can't have everybody show up somewhere and just chant that. That doesn't lead to any societal change.
Alright, let's get
today's guests out here.
Are you ready? Are you ready to
welcome them?
We got two old favorites and one
new one. Give it up for
Ken Jennings, Monica Neve, and Jeff Tate.
I am disgusted with you.
You couldn't even wait
until he like wins a point or something.
Or when I introduce him individually.
It gives my other guests a complex
when you're already so on somebody.
It's like, these two live around here.
This isn't an away game for them.
These two live around here.
This isn't an away game for them.
Did Jeff drive all of you in today?
From out of town?
A series of drifters he found along the freeway.
Jeff goes around with a bus picking people up. That's his fan base, yeah, drifters.
He drives a bus around until it's full
and then he brings them here.
It's kind of like what that governor in Texas does. He drives the bus around until it's full, and then he brings them here.
It's kind of like what that governor in Texas does.
Oh, wait a minute.
We all agree that's horrible.
Don't worry about it. Welcome to Seattle.
We're going to find all of you jobs.
Don't worry.
Your new life will be amazing here.
Yeah, I only pick up drifters that know how to code.
Oh, man.
Let's meet them individually and alphabetically by first name.
Everyone's going, wait, so where am I?
Where do I fall in this lineup?
Give it up, everybody.
He's not the one from Queensryche.
Sorry, Queen City.
It's Jeff Tate!
Woo!
Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate, Tate! See, that's a proper place for it.
I think it fits anywhere.
Do you like to throw this recording of this happening on when you're in the bedroom?
Yeah.
By yourself?
And you only need like that five seconds.
And then...
Tape, tape, tape.
Oh!
I play it
when I'm done.
I don't play it when I start.
He's just laying back
smoking a cigarette
to the sounds of
tape, tape, tape.
Tape, tape.
It's very dangerous
and cool.
Well, thank you
for being here, dude.
Also joining us today,
you know him from being the host of Jeopardy.
Ken Jennings, everybody!
That's nice, but I'm still going to play the Tate, Tate, Tate one when I'm at home.
And now Monica's sitting over here with her three-syllable name.
I was just like...
An unchantable name.
Monica! Monica! Monica! Monica!
That's better for you to play when you're jerking off.
It's got a better rhythm to it.
I think we're about to have a competition
where the audience weirdly roots for everybody.
I'm for all the teams.
I just hope we have a good time, you guys.
Yeah, let's just have some fun.
That's the important thing.
Because then we'd all be winners, you know?
Let's leave it all out on the field.
She is...
Oh, we're still doing this?
Yeah.
You want me to skip it?
No, no, no, I forgot we didn't introduce me.
Okay, yeah.
Yeah, here we go.
She's a Pacific Northwest comedy phenom.
It's Monica Neve!
Monica! Monica!ve! Monica!
Monica!
Monica!
Monica!
Yes.
I think I won already.
That was great.
Thank you.
Somehow the three-syllable one is more like a political convention, right?
Is it more intimidating?
Four more years!
Four more years!
More intimidating.
I just can't wait to hear somebody say to me,
I stopped listening to DLM
around the time
of all that chanting.
It's a little too chanty
for my taste.
There's so many more
interesting places
I like to go and chant.
You gotta save them up. Yeah. You know, you want to chant where it's least expected. there's so many more interesting places I like to go and chant. Um,
save them up.
Yeah.
You know,
you want to chant where it's least expected.
Um,
Monica,
two podcasts.
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah.
One I don't really like.
Okay.
That's like your side podcast.
You know,
give the proper respect to.
Right.
Yeah.
Yes.
It's just there when you, you just there when you really need it.
Yeah.
What are your podcasts called?
One is called Dumb Pitches.
With a P.
I interview successful people about their worst ideas.
Oh, I like it.
It's fun.
That's very cute.
I'd love to.
The other one's called Hug Life.
It's positive.
It's a good time.
And that's the one you don't like as much?
He was infrequent as well.
Oh, I see.
I like a part-time podcaster.
There's no reason to just keep
churning them out like I've done
for 16 years.
What is that? They don't even chant your name.
Just have one.
A couple people did. Just have one.
Dude, don't worry.
I got a taste.
I got a taste of that sweet, sweet fan juice.
My gas tank is full of fan juice.
All right.
Before we play our games today,
I have a segment that I've been doing.
Jeff has participated in it a few times. It's just to have a little chat about recommending some movies.
It's called Recommendation Nation,
and the premise is that I will give the three of you a category,
like each one of you, to just recommend one movie
that fits in there, or you think fits in there.
A lot of people really like to stretch the categories
as far as possible.
I do not know how Carlito's Way could be considered a prison movie.
But nonetheless,
I'm excited about this one.
I think this is a good one that I came up with for today because in honor of Ken being here,
I would like to do movies in which the main character is in jeopardy.
Now, don't twist, not on jeopardy, like white men can't jump.
It's got to be they're in jeopardy for some reason.
And then I do have a sidebar question for Ken.
Do you know, like, have you popped up in any movies yet has clips of you hosting Jeopardy been in a film or tv show I think a documentary
but now I can't remember what a documentary about you hosting Jeopardy no documentary about
something random and it's like you know here's to establish that it's 2022.
It's probably about COVID or something.
I don't know.
But no, I don't have the Alex Trebek-like filmography.
Right.
And that's my next question is how many movies do you think Alex and Jeopardy are in other than White Man's Child?
You know, sometimes it's actual just show footage, like on the TV in Groundhog Day.
You know, so real people are like, I know somebody who was in the TV and Groundhog Day mm-hmm you know so
real people are like I know people I know somebody who was in the game on
Groundhog Day she was one of the players and that's very exciting to her that
she's basically an actor in Groundhog Day because yeah cuz she's really next
level to get all of those things in one to be in a Bill Murray movie and on
Jeopardy and one move Alex was always a little salty that they I guess they shot
footage of him for the bucket list.
One of the old people in the bucket
list wanted to be on Jeopardy.
And then this got cut out during reshoots
and the world never got to see
Morgan Freeman, let's say?
Who knows? That was going to be my recommendation.
Don't put that into people's heads that just because
they're dying they can get on Jeopardy.
You know what I mean?
If that's not a bucket list
request. On my bucket list request yeah
my bucket list is i want to pass the bar exam uh it's not it's not ellen
you can't give every make-a-wish kid a driver's license you know it's
it's just about how to drive ambient jeopardy that's where uh self-driving
cars are going to come in handy is they can
pretend to give those kids drivers licenses. Throw them in a self-driving
car with a wheel it doesn't do anything but moves. Because kids they love that.
They love going like this. For the listeners I did something dirty. All right.
So, yeah.
So, Jeopardy has been on in a lot of movies.
But for our purposes today, we're looking for a movie where the main character's in Jeopardy.
Jeff?
I know you really think about these things. Why Men Can't Jump was my answer.
What's that?
Why Men Can't Jump was my answer.
I know, because you're clever like that,
but I cut you off.
Yes, you really... So I'm going to say...
So I'm going to say Double Jeopardy.
That's like twice as good as my answer.
That's amazing.
That movie's crazy.
What is that?
It's a Judd, right?
Yeah, Ashley Judd.
Ashley Judd, yeah.
Ashley Judd, but the scores are doubled
through the whole movie.
In Double Jeopardy.
Who, Tommy Lee Jones, perhaps?
Tommy Lee Jones, maybe a Bruce Greenwood.
It's a solid movie.
It's a real good, it's like, you just watch
it and you're like, this is how I'll murder somebody.
Hope they fake
their death first, and then I can
do it for free. Spoilers!
Whatever, it came out 20 years ago.
I think it was
a big hit at the time, like, I think it
spawned a lot of more movies with not only her,
but just the, you know, just more like, you know,
people getting accused of murder wrongly or whatever,
whatever the fuck happens to her in that movie.
Yeah.
Twice.
You know, Morgan Freeman started, you know,
doing those Alex Cross movies and stuff around that time.
But that's a good job, Jeff.
You came up with a movie that has Jeopardy in the title.
I'm trying to think if there are others.
I don't think there are, but let's go to Ken.
I just saw this on a plane, and I feel like maybe it wasn't well-reviewed,
but did anybody see that?
I think it's called Willem Dafoe Gets Stuck in a Penthouse.
You know this movie?
It's called Inside.
Inside, yeah.
Oh, I thought that was the title.
I don't want to give anything away,
but Willem Dafoe really gets stuck in a penthouse.
It's like almost a one-man thing.
There's really no dialogue except him kind of talking
and cackling to himself.
And that's just a genre of movie I like where somebody's just doing something for an hour
and you're like, what's this guy doing?
Like, it's in that other movie, like, I think it's called Robert Redford's Yacht Sinks.
It's interesting that the all-time Jeopardy champion is so terrible with these titles.
Like, a big chunk of Chinatown is like this. You're just watching
Jack Nicholson kind of open drawers and
stuff and you're like, what's this guy up to?
Boy, is somebody stealing
the water, I guess? I don't know.
I know, I've seen it a lot. I think he might
steal the water. I don't really know what happens in that movie.
I'll just always have a place
in my heart for Chinatown
because it taught me if you're going to tear a page
out of a book in a library
to just make a loud sneeze when you do it.
Yeah.
I was like, this guy's a good detective.
That works everywhere
you want to tear a page out of a book.
You can do it at church, at the store.
Anytime you want to rip something out of a book,
just fake sneeze. I just do it at home, just in case, you know?
I just acted it out.
It was also very dirty.
My brother's here today, and that's his move in a theater.
If he sneaks in a soda, he'll, like, fake cough or sneeze while he clicks open the can.
And he's here.
Today he's walking the streets, never been caught.
Well, that's until today, baby.
No one's told your brother about those twist-off bottles?
Or is he just constantly sneaking in Guinness?
Yeah.
Hey, listen.
There's only the one great way to drink a Pabst Blue Ribbon.
And that's the can that's loud.
Out of your jacket at a movie theater.
Alright, so
I'm excited
about this movie Inside because I heard
they've already green-lighted the sequel.
Out.
And he plays a guy that's
just outside for the entire movie.
It's not a bad life.
Isn't that most Willem Dafoe movie?
Yeah.
He's out walking around, doing stuff.
Oh, that one movie he did.
He did a movie called The Hunter, where it's two hours of watching him make intricate traps
to catch rabbits and shit out in the forest.
Outside.
And it's like, I'm impressed that you watch him physically make these things, but it's like, Willem, come on.
I read that he didn't even know that was a movie.
What?
I read he didn't even know that was a movie.
He was just out in his yard.
Making traps for rabbits.
That's funny stuff, too.
They just locked him in a penthouse and they're like, let's see what he does.
We'll have a bunch of cameras.
It's like the premise of Bowfinger but with Willem Dafoe
go do some
it was shot entirely on security cameras
that are also
IMAX
by what's his name
Christopher Nolan
alright Monica
if you had some time to think it over
what's a movie where somebody's in jeopardy
I just it's not good.
I just watched The Outlaws.
It's a new film.
Oh, you watched it?
Okay, good.
You have bad taste as well.
That's where, it's on Netflix.
Here's Brosnan and Ellen Barkin are, like, their daughter's going to get married to Adam
Devine, but they're bank robbers.
And Adam Devine runs a bank and but here's the weird part they trick
him into giving the code you know or whatever just lifelong bank robbers in
this movie what how did they do it one time they have a guy I'll just tell them
the code but they can't possibly have that kind of access
normally
I will say that part in every heist
that's in the film
it's pretty easy to get in those vaults
and it's always by like oh we just like
talk to them for a bit
and then they opened it for us
they're real smooth operators
but I saw it
and you know
it's definitely got a kind of formulaic thing
going on there but some of the scenes where adam divine like he knows they're burglars but like
you know he's just sitting there squirming all the time and so some of it really you know really
made me laugh and it was far more i thought it was going to be more of like a a rom-com type of
thing there's a lot of getting shot in the head like a lot of people
getting shot in the face yeah and it's like one of those comedies that wants you to like be like okay
but this is a serious situation they could get their faces shot off while we're laughing at
what's happening there's a towards the end there's like a he accidentally shoots one of them and the
like a machine gun goes like this and just kills all the bad guys and
misses the girl.
Like,
but shoots everyone else in the head.
And then just,
it was,
it's yeah.
Yeah.
Check it out.
I do recommend that.
Yeah.
I think it sounds great.
Well,
those are movies where people are,
he's definitely a jeopardy throughout that movie.
So you really...
The timing was perfect that that premiered on Netflix a couple days ago.
And I watched it.
And you watch everything as soon as it shows up there.
Because if not that, the rest...
Like, the top ten on Netflix is always, like, eight movies that have been out for 30 years.
And then there are two new things that they have.
It's so funny. Okay.
Thank you for those
recommendations. Now we're going to go to a
commercial break. We'll be right back.
We're back.
Yay!
So during the break, I shared the prize box with everybody, showed it off, and it's got
some fun things in there for the movie Asteroid City.
And then I also threw in a shirt from Eighth Brother and a pipe from Peacemaker.
And we picked name tags, and Jeff is going to be playing for Gone in 60 Sarahs
and just
let me make note of the fact
that there was a lot of snacks attached to that
name tag and then
Ken is playing for
Bree and John Malkovich
which is a play on being John Malkovich
Oh I just got it
I still want to pick them?
I just thought just saying it without seeing the visual,
the listeners would be like,
someone just wrote Brian and John Malkovich on a thing.
They brought their wedding invitation.
Yeah.
We are the Malkoviches.
And then who did you pick, Monica?
You picked Jacqui Brown.
Which is what I will call that film henceforth.
Alright, so the first game we're going to play today,
and I don't know if this makes people more or less excited
when I tell you that I've prepared four games today.
Okay, so you're a little disappointed. I hear you.
Okay, so this first game we're going to play is called,
and this is kind of a throwback. We haven't played this one in a second.
It's only for really good players and Monica.
This is a game called Purple Rain Man.
I think that you call this game
when it's a category on Jeopardy, I think it's called Movie Mashup.
So it's... Before and after, we often say. Before and after too, yeah.
And there's gonna be
two movies that with one long title where there's a joining you know word in
the in the middle and I'm gonna say in order of the two titles the third build
people in each movie and then Jeff will figure out the answer and say it.
But if he doesn't,
if he doesn't, then I'll go on to the second bill of people,
and the first bill of people, just guess as often as you like.
Everybody that's on stage,
please don't help him out from the audience,
because there's only one answer,
and the person who gets it wins.
Just this one game.
Alright, so here we go.
Does that make sense to everybody?
Yeah.
Okay, great.
Third build
in this movie mashup title
that I have created
are
Ki-Hee Kwon
and Margot Robbie.
Ki-Hee Kwan and Margot Robbie.
Jeff?
Everything, everywhere, all at once upon a time
in Hollywood.
That's correct.
What if I only pick games that Jeff is really good at? Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake,rio, everything, everywhere all at once upon a time in dot, dot, dot,
Hollywood.
But the book goes once upon a time in dot, dot, dot,
once upon a time dot, dot, dot, in Hollywood.
Like Quentin Tarantino doesn't know the title of his own thing.
What an auteur.
What a master. Yeah. Like knowing to move thing. What an auteur, what a master.
Like knowing to move that ellipsis two letters to the right.
Let's see what kind of douchebags notice.
And I did.
All right.
So congratulations, Jeff, on winning that first game.
Of course, it just means you get to go first in our next game.
that first game of course it just means you get to go first in our next game
so ken you had a category on uh jeopardy recently called imdb
okay and uh yeah i don't expect you to do that was it was maya i'm hosting i don't remember she might have been she might have been yeah so if if mime's hosting you don't you don't expect you to do that. Was Mayim hosting? She might have been. She might have been yeah. So if Mayim's hosting you don't you don't pay attention.
You don't know as much about what's up because you you don't have to host. I
would say I don't remember even when I'm hosting. Right there's a chance you
wouldn't remember. Even less so if Mayim Bialik's hosting. But I just was excited. Would you guys
know what was happening at your job if Mayim Bialik showed up for the day and
didn't? No. You'd have no idea, right?
Perfectly normal. Yeah, I'd be like,
she's got this. You'd just be like,
you'd just be like, what's with all
these, uh,
hats.
Sunflower hats.
I couldn't think of the first part. I was so ready.
I was like, what's with all these textbooks
and cats?
Is Mayim Bialik here?
All right.
So anyway, so here's how this game's going to work.
They did a category on Jeopardy when apparently Ken wasn't there.
And it was one of the categories was IMDB, and I got so excited because IMDB.
And I've been saying that expression, like I've been driving it into the ground for years.
And, you know, I was like, oh, Ken, you put my thing on the show.
But of course not.
So it's still an exciting category nonetheless because I've turned it into my own game called imdb and
here's how it works i'll say two motion pictures that will pretend are playing on a double bill
and there's one person that's in both of those titles so i will share with Jeff two movie titles he will guess or pass if he doesn't get it then
we'll move over to Ken and if he doesn't get it then we go to Monica and uh if nobody gets it we
uh move on to the next thing kind of Jeopardy style like when they don't get an answer right
everyone just stands there sadly for a second and tries to get back into it.
Also, Ken, I've got to say,
I really enjoy the way you quickly work in
encouraging comments to people,
like who's in third.
Or who's in the hole.
You'll be like,
now you're going to get out of the hole.
And then they try.
Really rooting for them.
I'm kind of a motivational speaker as well as a...
You've got to get in fast though
Not a lot of time on that show
I mean the thing about Alex Trebek
God rest his soul
Greatest quiz show host of our era
Also really didn't
Care that much about the contestants
Kind of the beauty of that show
Is his kind of
General disinterest
For how anyone in particular
Is doing I would say I'm a little bit different It's his kind of a general disinterest for how anyone in particular is doing.
And I would say I'm a little bit different because I've stood where they're standing
and I realize what an intense experience that is for those contestants.
And I feel for them when things are not going their way.
You watch the show your whole life and then you're on it and you're like,
oh, this is surreal.
This is like in a movie, this is going way wrong. And I And I've been there. Yeah. You did it a couple of times.
I have. Against human and computer life. Um, but, oh, so let's get this on the record though.
You really are just, you think you're just going to never get, you know, play in a game
again. Oh yeah. On Jeopardy? Yeah. No, I'm retired. Yeah, that's what I mean. You're officially done.
I'm a full-time
Dog Loves Movies contestant.
This is my...
Jeff Tate! Jeff Tate! Jeff Tate!
Like, this is my World Series
if I always lose to Jeff Tate
in the World Series.
I've never beaten you.
Yeah, Jeff doesn't think he's ever beaten you.
We both lost to somebody.
To Sam Levine, probably.
Yeah, probably.
Yeah.
Fucking Sam Levine.
What is Sam Levine?
Many have asked.
Okay, so... So I'll name the two movies.
And like I said, Jeff's going to go ahead and either take a guess or just say, I don't know, Doug.
And then we'll move down the line and see if you can name it.
So it's a person in both of these movies.
Initials are DB.
Jeff.
Oh, never mind.
Did I just sort of slip that in at the end there I'm glad I got all of that in because that that is an important piece of level playing field
because you all didn't hear me say it but yeah but yeah But yeah, all the answers are DB because it's called IMDB.
Okay, here we go.
Jeff.
Double bill might not fit on a marquee, but here we go.
King Arthur, Legend of the Sword, and The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Do you give up?
Yeah.
Ken. These are Yeah. Ken?
Ken?
These are tough. Ken?
I don't have it.
Nobody's going to get it. Monica?
I can't even think of anybody that's DB.
Wait a second. Why isn't anybody just saying somebody whose initials are DB?
I know.
Just an off chance.
David Bowie.
Wait, what?
No.
I just got excited because those are his initials, DB.
David somebody.
Yeah, it is a David.
The person who appears in both of those films is master thespian David Beckham.
Honey, let's go to a David Beckham movie tonight.
You know, the third movie he was in,
I couldn't say because it's Bend It Like Beckham.
I still wouldn't have got it.
What DBs were in Bend It Like Beckham?
I can't think of any.
Okay, here's the next one, Jeff.
You ready?
Yeah.
Altered States and Wayne's World 2 Wayne's World 2 DB Wayne's World 2 That would be a miracle.
Ken?
I don't think it's right.
David Bowie.
I think I'd remember him in Wayne's World, too.
Monica?
Okay.
Debbie Burns. No, no. Not Deb? Wasn't in that? Deb Burns.
No, no.
Not Deb? Wasn't in that?
Deb Burns. I think she was in Wayne's World 2,
but she wasn't in... The way that this is accomplished,
being in Altered States and Wayne's World 2,
is the first one you do is very young little girl,
and then later, as more of an adult,
you appear in Wayne's World 2,
and you do that
because you are
Drew Barrymore.
Drew Barrymore.
I thought it would
be a lady.
I thought it was
Dim Basinger.
I thought you laughed
so hard at that
before anybody else could.
Dim Basinger,
isn't she married
to Smart Garfunkel?
They're a perfect couple.
He does all the math in the relationship.
Okay.
Nobody's on the board, but it could happen.
It could happen.
Jeff,
this double bill
is Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me
and The Prestige
David Bowie
that is correct
I had no idea
I straight up just said a name because it had just been said I had no idea.
I straight up just said a name because it had just been said.
I thought it would get a laugh.
I didn't know it was going to be right.
No, he's in it because, of course, in that movie
he plays the inventor of the Tesla.
Oh.
All right.
He got hair plugs just to play Elon Musk.
All right, Ken, this one starts with you.
David Bowie.
That strategy has run its course.
That would be funny if I just put two more David Bowie.
He fell to Earth.
Labyrinth and the man who fell to earth.
I'm sad that David Bowie's gone, but at least Tilda Swinton's around to play all of his roles.
Okay, here we go.
This is on Ken.
Lulu on the Bridge
and True Stories.
Lulu on the Bridge, huh?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, it's David Byrne.
That's correct!
I can't think of anybody in True Stories
except David Byrne.
Oh, right.
Well done.
You pulled that because you remember
David Byrne's in that movie, True Stories.
Yeah, didn't he write it?
He's like the narrator character in it, I think.
What is Lulu on the Bridge?
I do not know, but I...
It's apparently David Byrne shows up for his, you know,
he probably just has a cameo or something in it.
He's a guy with a big suit, walks by the bridge.
Lulu's like, wow, it's a big suit.
I guess I'll stay on the bridge.
That's just...
Oh, same as it ever was. That's just you.
Same as it ever was.
Same as it ever was.
All right, so unfortunately, Monica,
we've got a tie between these two smarty pants over there.
So we're going to settle this tie,
but you're not out of this by a long shot because we still got two more games to
play but jeff if you answer this correctly uh you break the tie and you win the game if you miss it
then ken can answer it if he wants to but uh i'm gonna say he wins either way
just because i'm not disappointed
I'll be in you, Jeff, if you don't get this.
You got to go first because
you sat in that seat, basically.
Is that right? It's probably David Dillon.
You won the tiebreaker.
Alphabetical by first name is how it started.
But then things changed
throughout the course of the show
because I switched the order around and stuff.
It's all so arbitrary.
It's not all rigid and perfect
like some game shows.
Revealed to
Merv Griffin in a dream by God
in 1964.
Is that true?
They came up with Jeopardy the same way they came up
with the Mormon church?
Yeah.
Merv Griffin was doing mushrooms in the early 60s.
He went out in the woods and found a box and put on the underpants and made up Jeopardy.
I thought that was Willem Dafoe.
Well, he was there.
He was there.
Okay, Jeff, here it comes.
This is a director double
bill
DB
train spotting and T2 train spotting
Danny Boyle
that is correct
somebody had to win
we had to settle that somehow
but as always it just means that Jeff gets to go first in this next game.
And then Monica will be second, and then Ken, and we'll play that very exciting game right after these messages!
We're back!
Woo!
We got two more games to play,
and of course, culminating with the big one
that'll determine who gets the Asteroid City box today.
This game I'd like to play now is a new one, and it's called Will or Wilson.
Some people can't keep Will Arnett and Patrick Wilson apart.
But they are definitely two different people.
Both have wildly different approaches to their careers, I would say.
But just because they're both
losing their hair a little bit
and they're tall,
I guess people are just like,
I don't know.
So, that being said,
I'm going to say a line
from a motion picture.
And then your job is to determine if that
line was said by
in a movie by Will Arnett
or by Patrick Wilson
or neither.
Yeah.
Ken's not
happy about the neither part.
Just got serious.
So someone's gonna get
a point on every one of these.
It's not going to be like the last thing, because Jeff is going to go first.
If he misses, then Monica gets a shot.
And if she misses on the first one, Ken will get the gimme point,
because he'll obviously know the answer at that point.
I've been listening.
Yeah.
Each time somebody gets a point, the next person in line is up first on the next round.
All right.
Jeff.
Yes.
Oh, this is just like that last game.
I'm throwing in a really important piece of information at the last minute.
Oh, and by the way, answer it in the form of a question.
No. You know what I mean? It's like if you told the contestants about that at the very last second
many of them have seen the show before
i mean that's one of the things i've always loved about jeopardy is there's the least amount of
explaining how the game works it's either figure it out from your couch or get the out of here
game works. It's either figure it out from your couch or get the fuck out of here.
Sink or swim.
Every other game show, they go through all
the beats every time and explain
how every single thing works
and Jeopardy just cooks.
Alright, here we go.
The twist here is that
I'm not going to sound like Patrick
Wilson or Will Arnett.
I'm going to sound like
one of my favorite cartoon characters.
And just to throw you off the set, we got a phone call.
You all right?
Is it an emergency?
I don't mind you taking it if it's an emergency.
Wait, it was your fault?
Because this lady looked under her chair.
How do you know, sir? I was talking to her. He's like, no, we're good. Yeah, he's like, it's your phone? Because this lady looked under her chair. How do you know, sir?
I was talking to her.
He's like, no, we're good.
He's like, it's her birth control alarm.
Let me just check with everybody.
Is anybody getting a call right now?
Does anybody need to take a call?
She's like an EMT nurse
and you're like,
eh, it doesn't matter.
It's fine.
We're good.
It's fine.
Kids are in the car.
It's fine.
Okay, Jeff, are you ready?
Yes.
Okay, was this said by Will Arnett or Patrick Wilson or neither?
Destiny is something we've invented because we're...
It's hard to do long sentences with that voice destiny is something we've invented because we can't stand the fact that everything just
everything that happens is accidental
jeff do you think that that was said by Will Arnett
or Patrick Wilson
or neither?
I think it was said by Patrick Wilson.
You do? Yeah. Well, that would be incorrect.
Sorry, Jeff.
Nice try.
Okay.
So, Monica,
that leaves you with, What are your options?
Will Arnett or neither, right?
Yeah
I'm gonna go with Will Arnett
You're gonna go with Will Arnett?
That's incorrect as well
You started with neither, Doug
What kind of diabolical brain?
Came out with a goddamn neither
Starts with neither
Like a maniac.
So Ken
got the, did you say it?
You said neither, yeah. You said it a few times.
I'll say neither, Doug. Yeah, okay.
It's official. Locked in.
It's official answer. Final answer.
Is neither.
That was said by Meg Ryan
in Sleepless in Seattle.
It was the voice that threw me off, I guess. Yeah, the voice really ruins
it. Alright.
Jeff, are you ready for the next round?
Yeah. Okay.
Here we go.
I hope this is a shorter one.
It isn't.
You say things like that and make it impossible for me to hate you.
You say things like that and make it impossible for me to hate you.
Oh, that's Patrick
Wilson. Incorrect.
Is it me?
Is it my turn? Yeah, Monica.
I'm going to say
neither.
Wait, you think that I'm going with
two neithers right out of the gate?
Yeah, they do too.
They like to help out whenever they get the chance.
And neither is correct!
She's on the board.
Here we go.
Monica! Monica! Monica! Monica!
Monica!
Alright, I'm going to go home now.
You just peaked.
I did, yeah.
That line was
Meg Ryan
when Harry met Sally.
It sounded like main room and that's what I thought.
All right, so Ken,
you're up first on this next one.
Yeah.
And I know every Meg Ryan line
in Proof of Life, so...
Look out.
But weirdly, you don't know
any of Russell Crowe's lines.
I was running lines with him.
I didn't have to know his lines.
He read for the Meg Ryan part.
He was Meg Ryan's understudy.
They went, they went,
they said they were going a different way.
Movies should have understudies
and you don't have to shut down
just like when you're watching the movie
somebody different might be
in a couple of scenes
like the middle of the movie
why is James Spader in the penthouse
what's he doing there
as long as he's in the penthouse
what happened to Willem Dafoe
is he outside
he's on the bridge
with Lulu yeah Outside? Yeah. He's on the bridge. With Lulu?
Yeah.
Ooh.
Okay.
Who's up first?
Ken.
It's me.
Okay, Ken.
I'm not the one still wearing a mask.
Well, I guess there's two movies it could be, or neither.
Right? Neither. Right. Okay.
I'm going to...
What?
I'm going to say...
In the footsteps of Jeff Tate, I'm going to say Patrick Wilson.
You're going Wilson?
Yeah. Interesting. That is correct. in the footsteps of Jeff I'm going to say Patrick Wilson you're going Wilson yeah interesting
that is correct
so Watchmen
yeah that was
him in Watchmen
the you know
not the series version
the movie
the Zack Snyder movie
okay
so Ken is really running away with this one,
but let's see if
somebody else can.
Monica just needs one point.
She's in business, but
we're starting with Jeff on this one.
Ready, Jeff?
Yes.
I saw Jennifer
as the featured dancer
at a nudie club called
The Beaver Tree.
The Beaver Tree.
What do you think of that?
I mean, that also sounds like Meg Ryan.
I'm going to say Will Arnett.
You're going Will Arnett with this one?
Yeah, confident.
Okay, incorrect.
Monica, this is your chance.
Get on the board.
Is it Patrick Wilson or neither? Do you want to hear it again yeah I saw Jennifer
as a featured dancer at a nudie club called the beaver tree now I'm stalling Kermit why Why are there so many trees full of beavers?
Oh my god.
I 100% thought it was Kermit
the whole time.
It was Marvin the Martian.
Yay!
That didn't help at all.
Are we reading it again?
Okay, so you just have to choose between Wilson or neither.
You could tie it up with this one.
Oh, yeah, Wilson.
Wilson.
That is correct.
Two.
Two.
Two.
Monica! Monica! Monica!
Monica! Monica! Monica!
Patrick Wilson said that in a movie called Barry Monday, and ignore the dumb title
because I think it's a really funny movie, and he's really
goofy in it, which he usually doesn't get to play
in Watchmen and other things he's in
that I can't mention
because the game is going to continue.
We have, sorry Jeff,
but we have a tie between Ken and Monica,
and since Monica, what?
Yeah.
Yeah, she just tied it up.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's two to two uh thank you and uh
so you get to go first on this one same deal as the last game if you get it right you win the game
if you miss uh let's have uh Ken see if he can pick up the the point who goes first? Monica? Monica, yeah.
I don't understand how the order is going.
You thought Jeopardy was fixed.
I apologize.
Did you just get that point just now to tie it up?
Yes.
Okay, I'm sorry.
Then it does start with Ken.
All right, so it's Ken, but if he misses it, Monica, you can.
I feel like in this game you actually want to go second.
I know.
I didn't mean to do that.
I think so.
Maybe.
I didn't understand how we were switching before. It's my fault. It's fine. Well, you certainly don't want to go second. I know, I didn't mean to do that. I think so, maybe. But I didn't understand how we were switching before.
It's my fault, it's fine.
Well, you certainly don't want to go first, I can tell you that.
You also want to know who both those people are.
I'll be honest, I do not.
Well, let's learn more about one of them or neither.
Ken, you win this game.
Forget this one.
Maybe I'll pick up a box of dong bags so we can knock boots later.
Maybe I'll pick up a box of dong bags
so we can
knock boots later
did dong bags ever catch
on? isn't that lovely?
you know that does feel like it's
an isolated use of that
expression
like it didn't catch on
could have been an answer for IMDB
you know but Meg Ryan says some crazy shit sometimes.
She said that to Goose in Top Gun.
It was the last thing she said to Nicolas Cage
before she got on her bike in City of Angels.
And she said it before fucking Jim Morrison.
All right, so...
It's got to be You Got Mail, right?
Director's Cut or You Got Mail.
Yeah.
Director's Cut.
Okay, Ken Ken what do you
think it is you think it will set it or Wilson or neither maybe I'll pick up a
box of dong bags so we can not knock boots later I'll say pressure I'll say Such pressure.
I'll say Will Arnett.
What? How? It couldn't be more Seattle than having somebody drive by playing Alice in Chains.
My mom's here to pick me up. I gotta go.
Crazy.
It's in the building.
Yeah, I'm sorry. Which one did you say?
Will Arnett.
Do you ever get distracted like that saying the contestants, wait, one did you say? Will Arnett. Do you ever get distracted like that,
saying the contestants,
wait, what did you say?
I was thinking about...
I'm sorry, I was...
Somebody was playing Alice in Chains,
possibly in my head.
Yeah, does this happen on Jeopardy?
A lot.
Just music from the other room.
You know what the grunge music means.
Time for the grunge round.
Finally. music means time for the grunge round finally did you ever watch rock and roll jeopardy when
that was a thing yeah i liked that show yeah what's uh who was it sugar ray leonard yeah
No, it was Mark McGrath of God.
Okay, so... Third time's the charm.
What did you say?
Still going with Will Arnett.
Still probably wrong.
Will Arnett is correct!
I was going to say that.
Will Arnett is correct!
I was going to say that.
Oh, that felt so good.
I bet.
I got this whole bottle on my head.
For those listening at home, I just pissed myself.
Thought I'd do a Bradley Cooper in A Star is Born Impression.
Okay, so Will Arnett said the dong bags thing in the movie.
Lego Batman.
Which is the only movie I can remember that he's in. He's set in
Hot Rod.
Yeah. Yeah. He
plays kind of an obnoxious character
as you could imagine.
Alright, so
congratulations to Ken.
Jennings took that one down.
It's almost all over but the crying.
I hope nobody cries, actually.
But our final game today is what I like to call super last person standing.
All right. So, Monica, this is how this works.
I think Jeff's played this a bunch of times, and Ken probably has too.
We are going to get some names of some actors and actresses.
I prefer actresses, but if a man in the audience is picked to pick a name,
you have to name an actress.
And if a woman is picked to pick a name, you can go ahead and do either,
a man or a woman.
And we'll see what happens with that.
And the way I like to do it, oh, so I'll get three actress names,
and then I play along on this one.
We take turns naming movies that they were in.
If you can't think of one, you're out, but you do have a lifeline,
which is the person whose name tag you chose. You can go to them once for help.
And then just whoever lasts the longest besides me,
because I'm just playing for fun, is the winner.
And the way we select those three names
is we go to the people whose name tags were selected.
So let's start with Gone and 60 Sarahs.
Hi.
What actor or actress would you like us to use in this game today?
Nick Cage. Comes up a lot. It's a good one. And then next up we have Bri and John Malkovich. Do you two of you work one out together or is this just gonna cause a fight pierce brosnan interesting
i heard about a movie he was in recently
john had probably forgotten about him until it tells this show oh yeah yeah, Pierce Brosnan. That was a thing.
He's a thing.
And then, Jacque Brown.
Who would you like?
Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I love it. Yeah, that was three dudes.
That's crazy.
Like the Seattle crowd full of good allies and we get three actors.
Yeah.
Well, that's the thing also though. I did fuck up.
I did say I was going to make a man choose a woman, but then
it was Brian, it was Brie, I keep saying
Brie and John
back there making the decision together.
But do the two of you have an actress
we can use so we can just get an actress in?
Maybe Ellen Bargain.
They have to be
in the Outlaws, 2023. Do you have one? Do you have one? I can't believe i let people pick men at all because
this is exactly what happens is they pick the the biggest movie stars that are in 100 movies
i love it okay yeah perfect so we're doing that instead of pierce brosnan or in addition to
so it's you have to have all three each time in it yeah each So it's... You have to have all three of these people in it.
Yeah, each time it's your turn,
you have to think of a movie
that has one of those three people in it.
I mean, there may be some where two of them are in it,
but I don't...
Just at first glance, I don't think there is.
But we're not doing Pierce Brosnan then.
He's out.
Penelope Cruz is in.
Pierce is out.
Got it.
Yeah, we can't.
We can't. We can't.
You gotta have at least one lady in there.
And Ken won that last game.
So we start with Ken.
And we'll reverse the order.
So it's Ken, Monica, me, Jeff.
And what do you got, Ken?
Terminator.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
The Terminator? The Terminator. Would you ask for be more specific if they said Terminator Terminator Terminator would you ask for be more specific if
they don't actually the only time that comes up is when there's two works of
the same name right like if it's the invisible man and somebody says
invisible man yes that's a different book right except for that we're pretty
forgiving on articles yeah that's where the the suicide squad and
suicide squad is a weird one exactly two different yeah yeah all right that'd be so funny uh what is
suicide squad i'll be more specific what is the suicide squad yeah the host of jeopardy why does
he emphasize the host is it because in that moment, you're the host? Yeah, I'm not actually the host.
At any given time.
Right, but you're the host, and the one you're watching, the one you're on.
I guess you mean how the announcer says it.
That's why he says it that way.
He always says, this is the host.
Like, it's very clear.
Like, this is the host.
I guess, you know, and he's just doing it the way he did for Alex for 38 years.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, Alex always, you know know as you know uh thought the
game was the star of the show and didn't want to be called yeah our star i used to say i was the
star of jeopardy but alex was was a little more yeah he was cooler about that he was a child that
part of it plus also uh the announcer johnny uh pronounced it tree back tree back tree back yeah
why do you judge nobody says it that way.
Don Pardo lived to be like 110.
Johnny Gilbert's pushing 100.
Like Jeopardy announcer is the job to have.
I think just being an announcer,
like your whole job is,
hey, could you talk into a mic for like two, three minutes?
You know, at a stretch,
and then just hang out and watch a game show all day.
Does he enjoy Jeopardy?
Does he like being there?
Yeah, Johnny actually usually watches remotely ever since
the pandemic. Oh, okay, because he's got
a studio in his house, I'm sure. If you're in studio
now, you don't hear Johnny. Somebody else reads
the intro. Oh, okay.
A little behind-the-scenes TV magic.
I was going to say a little
ruining it for everybody, but there's two ways
to look at it.
Okay, so I forgot
everything we talked about earlier,
but I think I said we're going to
start with Ken, then go to Monica, then me,
then Jeff. I said the Terminator.
Oh, correct. So I didn't need
to recap all that other shit.
Okay, Monica?
Face off.
Yes.
That's a good one.
Gone in 60s Sarahs.
Jeff?
Con Air.
Yes.
The Rock Zoolander 2 I'll say it again I say it every time Should have called it off. Should have called Vicky...
Should have called Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
My favorite of those three women is Barcelona, I have to say.
Jeff?
Why was I startled by me my turn
commando
we don't need to hear about your underwear choices
oh you're gonna
Ken
nobody said Terminator 2 Judgment Day
Terminator 2 Judgment Day, right? Terminator 2 Judgment Day.
Nobody said it.
That's correct.
Monica?
The Family Man.
Oh.
Okay, the Weather Man.
Are you mad at me?
What's happening?
Amos and Andrew.
Yeah.
Oh!
It's very early
there's a goddamn
pull right there
that's a good pull
for him or Sam Jackson
that's wild
oh my god
I forgot about that
Ken
how about
Ghost Rider
yeah
kind of an Amos and Andrew
for the
for the late 90s
right
early 2000s a grungier Amos and Andrew for the for the late 90s right early 2000s
a grungier Amos and Andrew
if you will
that's how they pitched it
oh sorry it's alright Monica
is it the sorcerer's apprentice
sure yeah okay
even if it wasn't
thank you for answering the form of the question
I'd allow it
it's still a question is I'd allow it. I'd allow it. Has anyone ever?
It's still a question.
Is it the Sorcerer's Apprentice?
We'll take that.
Okay.
I want to see a triple bill sometime of Family Man, Weather Man, and Matchstick Men.
True lies. Nice. Yeah. It's funny. True Lies
nice
it's funny people like cheering
somebody on for thinking of the name of a Schwarzenegger
movie
he's not in obscure movies
he's in Schwarzenegger movies
maybe they're clapping for the movie True Lies
oh no there is that too
that does happen people clap for the movies they like, which is, that's fun.
Because those movies like to hear that.
James Cameron finally gets something for his ego.
That's going to mean a lot to him, I think.
Whose turn is it?
It's me.
Okay.
Moonstruck.
Yeah, snap out of it.
Snake eyes?
Oh.
Nice.
Yeah.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Ooh.
Ooh.
Vampire's kiss.
Mandy.
Ooh.
Fuck.
There's always weirdos clapping for Mandy.
Total psychopaths.
The movie's fucking sick.
Turn down the industrial music in their earbuds
just long enough to hear that answer.
I'll say...
I just lost what I was going to say.
Renfield. He's in Renfield.
Come and go.
Yeah, I worried I tipped that
when I said the vampire's kiss thing. I thought Jeff was going to say. Renfield. He's in Renfield. Come and go. Yeah, I worried I tipped that when I said the
Vampire's Kiss thing.
Jeff was going to say it.
Yeah.
Monica?
You're doing great.
Thank you.
I'll be honest.
That was more than I thought
I was going to get.
My mom's a Nicolas Cage fan.
Real horn dog, my mother.
What's her favorite Nicolas Cage movie? She horn dog, my mother. Um... It's true.
What's her favorite Nic Cage movie?
I couldn't, she won't let us watch it with her.
I'm just kidding.
Kids, I need to be alone for this one.
It's mommy's Nicky time oh nicholas
uh can i ask yeah you can go to your lifeline where who's your lifeline again
jack wees what do you got for eight millimeter eight millimeter. Eight millimeter. That's a dark one, too.
Yeah.
Okay.
Excellent job.
Kick ass.
Here's my answer.
Last action hero.
Eraser.
Oh, yeah.
He throws an alligator at a guy in that movie.
Yeah.
We're at the crocodile talking about Eraser. Oh, yeah. He throws an alligator at a guy in that movie. Yeah. We're at the crocodile talking about Eraser.
He just shoots the crocodile with a gun and goes,
Your luggage.
When he could have said,
See you later, alligator.
Oh, I always wanted to do a punch-up on that movie that exists.
Who's up?
Me, right?
Oh, it's back to you already? Holy shit.
Kindergarten Cop.
Yes!
It is indeed not a tumor.
This is JFK in kindergarten.
It's not a tumor.
All right.
Yeah, I don't think his head injury was a tumor.
That's a good point.
Oh, no.
Oh, sorry, too soon?
Oh, no.
Oh, sorry.
Too soon?
What is it?
Which one did you say?
Me?
Yeah.
Oh, you, yeah.
And you already used your lifeline the previous round.
That's good.
Yeah.
I like that.
That doesn't usually happen.
Thank you.
You are good at making people feel.
Good job.
Thanks, everybody.
That's good.
No, that was really good at making people feel good. Good job. Thanks everybody. That's good. That was really good.
This is such a positive and safe
space. Thank you.
I just don't know, Monica, how you
deal with the unbearable
weight of massive talent.
I bet your mom worked it hard to that one.
That's a real Nick Cage jerk fest right there.
Lord of War.
Oh.
I was trying to think of that one.
All I could do is Dogs of War.
That's the wrong one.
Ken?
I got two words for Monica's mom.
Adaptation.
Oh, man.
Talk about double jeopardy.
She's into...
She's got some very specific adaptation fantasies, I think.
I shouldn't have said that.
I'm trying to think of Penelope Cruz in a movie,
and I can only think of my mom watching Nicolas Cage.
It's not good.
Yeah.
I'm really struggling with that.
It's tough.
They're all in a lot of movies,
but it just starts to jump out of your head.
Yeah.
You give in?
Do you want to tap?
Yeah.
Give Monica a chant, everybody.
They're battling.
Okay, on this side.
Row, row, row.
Okay.
It's three syllables. You've got gotta do it in a round yeah they were not in
unison on that very much not very much in unison okay so you're out so it's back to me
um let's see i'll go oh uh let's go all the way back to the beginning
Valley Girl
Jeff
The Last Stand
Schwarzenegger yeah
just one person left
post governor Schwarzenegger
yeah
Johnny Knoxville as his sidekick.
Uh, Batman and Robin, right? Batman and Robin. Yes. When you were doing the catchphrases, I was like,
I know it. Yes, be cool. Mr. Freeze. Chill out. Ice to meet you. That's another one where they're all terrible.
I came up with a really good one.
He's got his ice gun, right?
And he goes, would you like to be a stalactite?
I thought you stalagmite. Hey, Doug, we're having a good time here,
but aren't those stone instead of ice?
What?
It would be icicle.
It wouldn't be a stalactite.
Yeah, yeah, they're opposite, right?
Is that why they didn't let you,
is that why they didn't use that joke?
That's why they wouldn't, like,
they're like, we've got some much more clever ones
that we're going to use.
But yeah, it's for the thing to work.
You're right, it's not correct, Ken.
The one thing...
Such a buzzkill.
The one thing that Batman and Robin, the producers,
were like, this needs to be scientifically accurate.
Much like the rest of the film.
It's on me?
Oh, yeah, somebody's getting something,
some sort of message.
Oh, it's so...
We're good.
Okay, good.
It's fine.
We're fine.
They got a great system here in Seattle. One person in the room's phone rings, somebody else says, we're good. You're fine. They got a great system here in Seattle.
One person in a room's phone rings,
somebody else says, we're good.
We're good.
Everybody's got each other's backs.
Takes a village.
It's such a friendly place.
Such a friendly face for the human race.
Okay, so it's my turn.
And, you know, the holidays are coming, so I'm going to say Jingle All The Way.
Twins.
Say it.
Junior.
Yes.
There we go.
Comedy oeuvre of Arnold is now over, I think.
I knew you would.
I thought you'd do that because I have total recall.
The Running Man.
Color Out of Space
for the Mandy guy.
Same director. Did you
look up in the air
today?
I swear to God, today outside is a
beautiful vanilla sky.
There's one.
That's good.
Oh, boy.
Army of One.
Nicholas Cage
thing. Yeah. I was going to say, holy shit. It's a Nicolas Cage thing. Yeah.
I was going to say, holy shit.
That's an obscure one.
Pretty funny.
For Nicky.
He's in...
Oh, I'll do...
Nobody said Leaving Las Vegas, right?
Leaving Las Vegas.
The one he won an Oscar for.
Didn't come up.
Beautiful applause.
to what he won an Oscar for.
Didn't come up.
Beautiful applause.
You know, we're too busy sitting here trying to remember Captain Morelli's
mandolin.
Raising Arizona.
There you go.
That's a good one.
Wild at Heart.
Peggy Sue got married.
Should have switched the order
trapped in paradise
oh
right
that's an interesting
one
okay
oh fuck
nobody said
I can't believe
it's my turn right
no no it's yours
sorry sorry
it was
nobody said City of Angels
in this game right
City of Angels
no it came up earlier
nobody mentioned it today so far and Sorry. It was, nobody said City of Angels in this game, right? City of Angels. No, it came up earlier.
Nobody mentioned it today, so far.
But one I can't believe I'm overlooking
because I'm such a big fan of it.
Pig.
End of days.
Really knocking out the Schwarzeneggers.
There's so many.
Is this going to be it?
Is Ken Jennings finally going to lose Jeff's partner to Jeff Tate?
Jeff's been working on this for years.
I'm going to say...
He's been training.
You've been off hosting some show.
He's been training for this.
Some show.
I'll say Woman on Top with Penelope Cruz.
I'm breaking the glass on Penelope Cruz.
That's the full title?
Thank you.
Woman on Top with Penelope Cruz.
It's a whole movie.
It was a different one with someone else.
All right.
I'm going to say
Around the World in 80 Days.
Yeah.
Probably Schwarzenegger's smallest movie.
One of his smallest movie roles.
He's not in it much.
Ken?
I mean, Jeff.
The Sixth Day.
Oh, so similar, those movies.
I just saw this Italian Penelope Cruz movie from last year
called La Mensita.
La Mensita.
At this point, you're going to assume I'm just making this up.
There's a gentleman in the crowd.
Made it up.
Someone's called bullshit from the crowd, so now he gets to take your place.
This is how Jeopardy works, too.
That guy is now the host of Jeopardy.
It's about a little,
it's like a trans kid in 1960s Rome.
It's pretty good.
It's not clear why a Spanish actress
is playing his mom.
I think at one point they're like,
well, since I come from Spain,
you know, I too am an outsider.
Right.
One line fix.
Okay.
I should have made shit up.
Just make up movies.
It's so easy.
Just to try.
Do you think that mandolin thing was real?
Easy way.
Like it's a German film.
I don't know.
All right, I'm ready.
I just let them talk until I came up with one.
Early Sean Penn, Nick Cage, Elizabeth McGovern,
three-hander called Racing with the Moon.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, and I got another one that's even weirder.
Wind Talkers.
Yeah.
Back to you, Ken.
Comes around fast.
I'll do Penelope Cruz in...
Woman on Bottom.
No, but it's like, you're thinking of made up again.
It's a Spanish movie called Bella Polk.
It won Best Foreign Film.
It won Best Foreign Film in like 92.
Yeah, I know Bella Polk.
It's real.
You're not making it up.
It's true.
It's very true.
I'm so disappointed, else is what else is
also true is Nicolas Cage had about a minute and a half of screen time in fast
times of Ridgemont High yeah Nicolas Coppola Nikki Coppola escape plan oh I Escape Plan. Oh.
Nice. I want to know what's happening in Jeff's head right now.
It's just like...
Penelope Cruz.
Penelope Cruz.
Penelope Cruz is the title role in Julieta.
You guys like Pedro Almodovar?
Yeah.
Who likes campy Madrid film
I do
yes
The Expendables
how'd I forget that
I'm like going to
Almodovar
I forgot The Expendables
I know
I can't remember
the names of the
Almodovars
but she's been in
quite a few
of his
or several of his
Jeff
Collateral Damage yes oh yeah but she's been in quite a few of his, or several of his. Jeff?
Collateral Damage.
Yes.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
All these... I thought we were out of those Arnold movies,
but they just keep coming.
No, they just keep coming.
I feel like you're always, like, fussy about subtitles and stuff.
Yes, I am.
So like if I say...
If I say Terminator 3, you're not going to let me get away with it?
Yeah, I don't think so.
Rise of the Machines.
Yes!
Nice!
He knew it all along!
He's just fucking with me.
Alright, I thought of another Nicolas Cage a second ago and then I've lost it already.
So... Shit.
We gotta wrap this thing up, so I'm gonna tap.
Jeff?
Conan the Barbarian.
I'm back in.
That's what I thought of and didn't say.
Me too.
Let me play again.
Ken? Conan the play again. Ken?
Conan the Destroyer.
Jeff?
Comes back fast.
He needs your lifeline.
Conan the...
Wait.
Hang on.
The Long Goodbye.
Ooh.
What is that?
The Long Goodbye?
Yeah, it's Schwarzenegger's first movie.
Oh, wow.
He's like a bodyguard.
Can we do like Pumping Iron?
Can we do Duck and Egg?
Yes.
Oh.
Pumping Iron, good.
Hercules in New York.
Yes.
Let's go back to sunny Spain for...
Broken Embraces.
I'm pretty sure she's in Broken Embraces.
Terminator.
Dark Fate.
Ooh, nice.
Nice. Nice.
Predator?
How did no one say Predator?
Predator?
Predator? Predator?
Terminator.
Genesis.
You can't stop with those.
You've been saving those, haven't you? Yeah, look at him go.
I want him to do the one that doesn't have Arnold in it.
I'm not going to do that.
He's not falling for your traps.
Traps and tricks.
Did you use your lifeline yet?
Oh, I didn't.
I guess I could use a lifeline.
Might as well see what they got for you.
Yeah, let's throw it up into Bree and John.
Yeah, Bree and John, what do you got?
National Treasure.
National Treasure.
That's the one I was thinking of.
We haven't done any National Treasures.
That doesn't help me at all, though.
Yeah, it helps Jeff, I bet.
Jeff? Are there subtitles? I don't even know. National me at all, though. Yeah, it helps Jeff, I bet. Jeff?
Are there subtitles?
I don't even know.
National Treasure Book of Secrets.
Yeah.
They only did the two.
That's done.
That didn't help me at all,
being Bree and John.
Yeah.
No, that really,
that hurt him more than helped him.
Way to go.
When you think about it.
There's a Spanish movie called
Jamón Jamón.
It's like Penelope Cruz's debut.
It's like a Biggest Moon M.O.
That is real, yeah.
All right.
The plot, I think,
is that her boobs taste like ham.
And this is...
Why do you lead with that?
In Spain, this is like the biggest...
It's like the best thing you can imagine.
It's like, what if your girlfriend tasted like jamon serrano?
Sounds great.
I'd be all about that shit.
Oh, fuck.
That lady's got real John Hamm boobs.
Jeff,
Willy's Wonderland.
Yeah.
Nicolas Cage's
silent performance.
He doesn't say a word.
I think he makes a grunt noise here and there.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Ugh.
I was hired to do punch-up on his dialogue.
It's the easiest ten minutes of my life.
Just punch him in the stomach and he goes, ugh.
Okay, write it down.
Is this it Ken?
Uh yeah this might be it.
Is he in the route?
Is he in uh.
He should be.
If you want him to be in it he should be.
You could digitally add him.
Who?
I don't know.
Now you're just saying words.
Was he in Fast?
Was he in Chase?
Is he in Motor?
I'm trying to think of words that aren't in Arnold Schwarzenegger titles.
Weird game.
Salami. I think we might go home.
We're going to call it.
I think we have to go home.
Oh!

James is now writing every episode of House of the Dragon. Yeah.
There's a lot more lobsters than there were before.
There's a lot more lobsters than there were before.
So, Ken, how does this break down now?
There's like three more weeks of original episodes of Jeopardy! Or one week, or how many weeks left?
Yeah, we've got three more weeks.
Three weeks.
Then we go into hiatus, and then...
It's just like six weeks before you come back.
Or like September?
And there will be reruns all summer. The thing about Jeopardy! is you can count on it. It's like the tides, it's just like six weeks before you come back or like September and there will be reruns all summer
the thing about
Jeopardy is
you can count on it
it's like the tides
it's like the wind
there will always
be Jeopardy
at like
7, 7.30
check local listings
some towns are crazy
they show up
at 4.30 in the afternoon
I know
you go to some place
like Chicago I think
yeah
and also Seattle
is like a wheel
then Jeopardy town
which is correct
but a lot of people live in like LA is a Jeopardy then wheel town, which is like, whoa.
Yeah, New York and LA.
It's like a bizarro universe.
Like Doctor Strange is like, what have I done?
You know?
Or you could look at it as like, you know, I just watched Jeopardy.
I need to, you know, I need to dial things down a little bit.
I need to spend a lot of time just watching something spin.
You know, you don't have to think too much.
But it's a great formula, those two shows back to back.
How do you feel about the Pat Sajak retirement thing?
Well, they got Ryan Seacrest immediately.
They must have had an envelope somewhere that was like,
break glass in case of Pat leaving.
They were not going to do the Jeopardy thing and make a meal of it.
They did not take it to the court of public opinion.
They just said, Ryan Seacrest's the host,
and Vanna's a little concerned about her paychecks.
Because she didn't even get what Pat was making.
So who knows what the disparity will continue to be.
But I guess she's suing or
something honestly it feels like she does she should get more than pat she does more work than
pat skinner steps in all the every time she has lines they're they're far away he's got them on
cards right there in his hand it's uh it is a different different job altogether she is the nicest she is the loveliest person totally unchanged by 40 years of weird fame weird
letter turning fame yeah and just being like a reference like just saying then a white or i'll
buy a vowel pad and all that shit like it's crazy um but what would do you have anything you'd like
to promote besides the jeopardy's coming back yeah I'm on
