This is Doug Loves Movies, recording on Sunday, April 28, 2024. And my guests today are Kevin Kraft, Blair Saki and Kate Willett. Hello. Yeah.

Hello there. Let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically because that certainly didn't nobody understood any of that. Alphabetically by first name as I like to do. She can be seen as part of the Netflix is a joke festival here in Los Angeles. This is Blair Socky. Hey, Blair. Happy New Year. Happy New Year, Doug.

Thank you very much for having me back. It's good to talk to you and I'm looking forward to hearing about, I think I know what's going on with your Netflix is a joke show But but tell the listeners. Oh, yes. I have One with co-headlining with Amy Miller May 6 at the improv as part of the festival and then I Show with Ron fun chairs as part of the festival on Saturday, May 11th at the Comedy Store. That's awesome. We love Amy Miller and Ron Funches.

Even though Ron, of course, does not appear on Douglas movies. He doesn't? No, he doesn't like movie trivia. Oh, I did not know this, but I do know about his very direct honesty. So, yeah, yes. I've only had a few over the years.

They've just straight up said, I don't do movie trivia. You know, like he just doesn't his brain doesn't do it. So he doesn't want to sit there and not know the answers. Yeah, that's like me. I never know any of the answers, but I still faithfully come on. Well, that's like me. I never know any of the answers, but I still faithfully come on. Well, that's the thing and I try to make it so that there's an occasional arbitrariness to it where as long as you're trying you have a chance. And I think when I asked Ron initially that was back in the day when you know everyone was you know playing for blood and people were real serious.

And was you know playing for blood and people were real? Back when I had too many men on the show I'm excited for all of your Netflix is a joke stuff. That's very cool Thank you, and thank you for being here And if you want to take the time while I'm talking to the other two guests to study up on movie trivia You know it's going to cram last minute. Her first hour large special is out now on Apple TV, Amazon, YouTube and more. It's Kate Willett. Hey, hey, great to be back.

Thank you so much. What's your special called? My special is called Loopholes. Right on. And which services did I not mention that it's on? I think it's also on Vimeo. I did the special with Comedy Dynamics. So they make it available on a bunch of different platforms. So, you know, Amazon is always really easy. YouTube is always really easy. But, you know, it's everywhere. easy. YouTube's always really easy, but you know, it's, it's everywhere.

That's cool. That's very cool. And, uh, you know, thank you for joining us today. How do you, I feel like you feel fairly strong in your movie trivia abilities. You know, if I've seen a movie, I can remember it perfectly, but I haven't seen a ton of movies. So I'm actually curious to see how I do today. Yeah, there's lots of movies that,

especially these days that you just can't get around to. So how can you also know like who's in it and stuff? So yeah, it's getting tougher all the time because they're just making more and more future films. Like Jerry Seinfeld was complaining recently about movies being dead. He was like, because you used to talk to your friends about the movies, the hit movies that you'd go see.

He's like, yeah, when Seinfeld was growing up, there weren't multiplexes and streaming and all the other things that are going on. Uh, you know, when a movie came out, I remember like a movie like, uh, the sting played at the same theater in San Diego for like a, over a year, just a single screen theater. So the same movie sound of music, ET, star wars, all that kind of shit would just play like in one big theater and but it would be there for Forever, but listen enough of my old man talk

our third guest today just Completed his first feature film as a director. It's Kevin Kraft. Hey Kevin Dup, Doug. Thanks for having me. I've spoken to you a few times this year, so that's why I didn't pull out the Happy New Year. Well, every time you say it to me, I appreciate it, Doug. The level of disrespect from the people in my life that don't say it enough, it really gets under my skin. Have you seen Civil War or Abigail?

I have seen Civil War. Yeah. Okay. Tell us about it, Stud. I enjoyed it. It was a very unique way of presenting that story. I feel like if you're going to make a movie about a fictional modern day American Civil War, there's a lot of ways to do it.

But presenting it through the eyes of the press and kind of keeping it neutral and they don't really try to sway the audience one way or the other who's the good guy and who's the bad guy. It was cool, you know? Like you, I see a ton of movies, so anytime somebody does something a little different,

I'm just like, ah, yeah, I appreciate that. I think they're all villains. What do you think of that? I think both sides are probably bad because they want to fight. You know what I mean? They're so excited to fight each other. It's crazy. Are you going to see Abigail? I think I am. Initially I wasn't. And then like positive reviews came out and I love horror movies.

So yeah, it's it's on the list. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think I think I'm going to enjoy I know I won't love I can say that I probably won't love it because it'll still have enough tropes and slow parts to make me leave not as enthused as when I went in, you know, because whenever everybody's talking about a horror movie, like I went through this with Megan, like I saw it late, so everybody had talked it up so much that of course it's not gonna live up to that, you know, expectation, so I just thought it was, you know, it was fine, but this Abigail one, I'm pretty excited for it, mostly just because it looks like Abigail is just like physically just really wild, like a lot of jumping around the room, that kind of thing.

Yeah, it seems pretty violent. Like she's just tearing through people, which, that'll put me in a seat. Yeah, why not? All right. But before we play some games today, let's get some movie recommendations or one recommendation specifically. Blair, you're up first. Put down the books you were studying from.

Would you please recommend a movie? Oh shoot, I need you to come back around to me. Okay. Kate, is this a tough question for you as well? Well, I, okay, I just saw a movie that I thought was really original that I loved. It will be a controversial one though. I watched this movie from 2022

called How to Blow Up a Pipeline. It's not an instruction manual. It's about a group of environmental activists that decide to engage in an extreme action and it follows their story. And I just I thought it was like an extremely original movie. I'd never seen anything like that. I've definitely heard about it and, you know, haven't gotten around to see it. But all it takes is a

Recommendation and you know that gets me headed in that direction, you know, because there's just there's just too much to watch these days How did you see it? You watch it on a stream or something? Yeah, I watched it. I think it was on Hulu. It follows the life of a young indigenous woman and You know her friends and you know, it's just I think in addition to the subject matter being really interesting It has very original form of storytelling and structure and I definitely think it's worth the stream right on Kevin I the stream. Right on. Kevin, I know you said you like Civil War, but is there something you have a more wholehearted, full-throated recommendation for?

Sure. I mean, it's not super modern, but I always like to give shout outs to the underdogs. And I really like Alita Battle Angel that came out a few years ago. Wow. That is a that is a nice interesting poll. Yeah, it's it's it's campy but it's it's you know, it's cyberpunk. It's got some cool action in it for PG 13. It's got some pretty cool kills.

And I think it I think it bombed unfairly. I think the critics treated it unfairly and I think it's a really fun movie. It kind of set up for a sequel that it looks like we'll probably never get because of its performance in the box office. But I don't know. I don't think there's enough good cyberpunk movies out there. Like I can't really make that long of a list. So yeah, check out Alita Battle Angel. You think maybe like was a massive stumbling block for the whole enterprise, the big eyes that the title character has?

It could have been, you know, it was based on a manga, so I'm sure they wanted to make it look like it looks like a cartoon even though the movie is actually live-action but that aspect of it when you just see quick clips makes it look hard, you know like a Animator for children or you know, I'm talking about, you know people that are dumb would think this not yeah No, it's not not educated Robert Rodriguez did take some big swings with it, but I appreciate it. I thought it was fun. Yeah. But you know, you would have liked it just as much, probably if she just had her, you know, if Rosa Salazar just had her regular eyes. Yeah, the eyes weren't a big stuff.

One or the other. Hey, listen, I love team paintings and I love Elita. Anything that has huge eyes. Sign me up. OK, Blair, you have some time. Yeah, thank you so much for being so gracious. I'm going to have to go with Love and Basketball today. OK, yeah, I know that's not new, but I had to be honest about what the last movie I saw was that I really enjoyed and I did

Candidly rent problem east though before this but I didn't have a chance to watch it yet. Julia Torres Okay Yeah But love and basketball is the last movie you watched that you liked or just the last movie you watch basketball is the last movie you watched that you liked or just the last movie you watch? Um both I really really I really love that movie though. It's so good. I could watch it. I have watched it a million times Oh, okay. So you just uh fired it up again recently. Yeah Yeah, that's the other problem. I have is with like when i'm on a plane and you know The airline will offer up 40 titles to choose from and you know go through all of them

I'll go I've never seen that I've never seen that you know, it's never anything that I'm like, oh, I've never seen it I'm dying to see it, you know, so I always end up just watching something that I know I already liked. Oh I do the opposite. I use the the plane as my Educational experience for movies. That's what I should be doing. I saw Good what's that movie Robin Williams? Is it good morning, Vietnam? Yeah, I saw that on the plane I saw a taxi driver on the plane sort of just hitting some of my marks my blind spots Yeah, yeah, I mean I can't believe I feel you've probably seen every movie about a 13 year old prostitute Well, that's but that is you know, that's a good point I've had lots of friends

I have I know a lot of people little like some movie They thought look boring. They'll watch it on a plane and to me it's like oh my god That's gonna make the flight scene even longer You know, I'd rather watch something that I enjoy that goes by quickly, you know that like Doesn't stop time. I will say though watching something on a plane that you never seen before like that I will say though watching something on a plane that you've never seen before like that Like your ability to lock in is much better on the plane compared to you know, all the distractions and sort of half watching that That go absolutely

Absolutely. So love and basketball Who's in that? What's her name Sunay, I don't know if I'm saying her name, right? Yeah, yeah Who's the guy? Feel bad. I don't know. Yes. His last name's Epps. Oh, is it Omar Epps? Yes. Yes. Yes. There you go and it's basically just a Romance set in the world of like,

what kind of basketball is it? Is it a professional basketball? Yes, well, it's multi-generational, but they college basketball that goes to the NBA and WNBA. And I love a sports movie, so mix that with a romance and I'm so in. Also, one of the main scenes was filmed at my college bar in Westwood it used to be called Maloney's but it's not called that anymore what's it called now I don't know I forget I forget what it's called now I haven't swung by in a while yeah but it's definitely

got had the college bar vibe because it because the movie didn't take place in Westwood. No, it's the bar is like that dark wood one where that he talks to his dad confronts his dad about the cheating. Oh, okay. Yeah. But I guess also good timing that you're bringing this up because people should be revisiting this movie or seeing it for the first time because of all the fever that's suddenly happening with the

Wnba. Oh, yeah. Oh my god. Can you believe it? What a thrill. I love Like I watched the last few games of uh, you know the the women's college tournament And i'll do it every time and I won't I won't pay a lick of attention to the women's college tournament and I'll do it every time and I won't I won't pay a lick of attention to the men's I love that well they said it was the highest viewership ever even higher than men's and that just made me happy because there's all those men online that you know they're like who would go to this women's spot. Yeah. Women aren't funny. Women shouldn't exist. It's so it's crazy how mad they get about that. Some women are playing a game.

It's so sick. All right. Thanks for those recommendations. We're going to play some dumb games after these messages. We'll be right back. We're back. And I'm still angry about men who are angry about the WNBA. But let's play our first game today is something that I call, whose tagline is it anyway? In this game, I say a tagline from a motion picture and then, you know, we'll go in order each of you gets an opportunity to get a tagline from a motion picture and then, you know, we'll go in order, each of you gets an opportunity, uh, to guess what movie you think it is a tagline for, and there will be a theme, but that of course you may not, you know, recognize until we get two or three titles into it. recognize until we get two or three titles into it.

So Blair's up first. She misses. Then Kate gets a two tag lines. She gets an additional tagline because all these movies have multiple taglines. So if Kate misses, then Kevin will get here three taglines. And if he misses, you know, get to hear three taglines. And if he misses, you know, I don't know what to say, but he just won't get a point. But there's only a few rounds. This sounds very difficult,

but hopefully the answers will lock in, especially if you luck out and get more than one tagline. Okay, Blair? Here you go, the first tagline you just get the one tagline. Some things are worth waiting for. Oh god that's vague as hell. Right, like most movies have characters that are some waiting on something Some things are worth waiting for oh Um eliminate every movie where everybody dies at the end

Right, although even that couldn't qualify yeah, I mean clearly it's like clearly it's like a mismatched love that comes together like years later. Okay. The notebook. I absolutely guess. Of course, the characters in that film won't remember what they were waiting for.

Right, right, right, right. Tragically, but... Yeah. That is not it. Here, let me make the incorrect noise. Okay. Kate, you get a second tagline. I don't know if you've got any ideas based on that first one. But what do you think if we add a

comedy with class Is this as good as it gets with Helen Haunt and Jack Nicholson I wish That is a terrific guess. I love that movie. Yeah You know mostly because it's a rom-com but also the speed in which you said it. I was very excited. I thought you were gonna get it. Now I know.

Now I know which one it was. I always should my guess. Okay. Hang on. Yeah. Don't worry, Nate. I don't know what it is. Well, you get a third one, Kevin.

If this one doesn't help you,, I don't know what it is. Well, you get a third one, Kevin. If this one doesn't help you, then we'll see. I'm not going to make any, there's no conjecture here about how you're going to do. I hope the tagline is something like, you're going to love Citizen Kane. Everything always comes back to Citizen Kane. It really does. I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that. I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that

I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that

I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that I'm not sure if you're gonna be able to tell me that These are what they're waiting for. A comedy with class. And then third, final clue, the final tagline. She's never been hip, never been cool, never been in dot dot dot until now. Terrible tagline. Oh my goodness. All right, well I do have like a couple of potential answers that pop up.

Well give us just one answer that you think might be it. I had nothing to- Maybe you'll get lucky. I don't think I'd go with the first tagline. I don't think I'd pick one that has two out of three words from the title. I know. What was the third one again? I'm sorry. I don't think I'd go with the first tagline. I don't think I'd pick one that has two out of three words from the title.

I know. What was the third one again? I'm sorry. I don't think I'd go with the first tagline. I don't think I'd pick one that has two out of three words from the title. I don't think I'd go with the first tagline. I don't think I'd pick one that has two out of three words from the title I know what what who is what was the third one again? I'm sorry. I'm not here to completely give it away She's never been hip never been cool never been in dot dot dot until now. I Don't even know what word they did they mean love is the word they skipped there

I don't even know what what if that's for sure the word is supposed to be there. Yeah, weird word to censor. Yeah, it's not even censoring. It's just like dropping off. It's weird anyway. Oh, oh, OK, OK. I think, OK, what is it? Is it is it never been kissed? Yes, it is. Never been kissed.

You did it. You figured it out. It did. Well, that was she's all that Yeah, that's another One is definitely in the in that area But yeah that third clue is supposed to give it away because of all that never talk. He's never been this But just the way it's worded though, it's like it never been in so kiss doesn't fit there like it seems like it's leading up to kiss. It's the movie's called never been kissed.

Anyway, they're just saying she's never there just implying that she's never been in love or had sex or kissed or any of that, but they don't want to come out and say it. It's a typo on IMDB could go either way. Kevin, you are on the board. You've got one point, but we go back to Blair. Sorry. The timing of this Blair is not great because you just get the first one, but here's the first tagline.

Blair, he was given an offer. He can't refuse. Oh my god. He was given an offer. He can't refuse. Oh, he was given an offer. He can't refuse. Which would be hilarious for like Godfather 2 or 3.

They just took that from the first Godfather Made it a tagline, but that is not the case here Um What figure out who he is Bruce Almighty Bruce Almighty. Hang on a sec. Okay, there's the sound effect. You're incorrect.

So we move on. I thought the listeners to know I'm trying really hard. You are. We can't see it, but I'm imagining a furrowed brow. Ha ha ha ha. All right, here's the next one, Kate. He knows the score. He gets the women.

And he kills the bad guys. Ooh. This is very difficult. Yeah. There's a lot of movies like that. Let me see. You know, I thought it was going to be some kind of mafia movie, but yeah, this is clearly not a mafia movie because they kill everyone in mafia movies. Man, you know, I... Okay, so what was the second tagline again? He knows the score, he kills the bad guys, what else? He gets the women. He

gets the women. He knows how to score. He knows how to score. No, I mean, it's it's he knows the score that Yeah Is it I rewrote Let me see Okay, I'm gonna do like a totally left field guess that I think is wrong but is it okay not it's not die-hard is it No, it's not diehard, is it? No, it is not diehard. Okay, cool. I guess. He sort of gets the woman.

He gets his woman back. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, that's why I was like, this is wrong. So, Kevin, I'm realizing, speaking of things that are wrong, I figured out the flaw in this gameplay, this structure that I've created. What should happen is the person who gets the point on the next round, they should be the person who gets just the one clue. And then, you know, and then

we move on from there is what I should have done. Yeah. I mean, if I get it right, yeah, ding me, ding me with that one. Yeah. But I'm afraid like this is gonna this because the third clue is kind of designated to give it away if anybody hasn't you know managed to come up with it Kevin What I am pretty stupid? Okay, let's see if you're dumb enough to not know this one He was given an offer he can't refuse he knows the score he gets the women he kills the bad guys And the third tagline is they just fucked with the wrong Mexican.

Oh, OK, that's got to be machete, right? Yeah, that's got to be. Not only is it got to be machete, you have to even pronounce it correctly. Beautiful pronunciation. Yeah. See, so. So technically you just won the game, but it's it just doesn't seem it doesn't seem right to me But we're gonna for this next round I'm going to at least give the other players a chance and I'm gonna have you go first on this next one Kevin as I

Should have all along All right, all right, that's fair. Okay I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that.

I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to tell me that. Masha tea Masha tie vulgar tagline to Sometimes love blows. Yeah, I'd say it's less vulgar than they fucked with the wrong

Fair point yeah site a previous Just take a wild guess sometimes love blows. Yeah gone with the wind That would be an amazing tagline for gone with the wind no wonder it was the most successful film of all time I thought it was the racism um okay uh so blair now you now you get to taglines Blair. You got sometimes love blows. I'm adding to that. Get ready to get lucky. Get ready to get lucky. Um, uh, since 13, no, I want to see you on like jeopardy or something. You know, back answers.

I am. I think I would do well on jeopardy because I am very book smart. Unfortunately, I haven't seen too many movies, but yeah This is a real um brain jerker. I just coined that phrase Like it. Okay. So let me give you the incorrect sound You're welcome Hey gets the third one now. What?

Oh, okay. So it's sometimes love blows, get ready to get lucky, and he has to break his curse before she breaks his heart? Well, I know this isn't right, but I'm going to go with Beauty and the Beast because it does match that one. I mean, I think those are all I don't know if they ever consummate in that movie. But, but, but love does blow for a bit there because they're, you know, it's inter species. But then, but then he does have to break the curse because she really is, you know, gonna make him feel sad about

being a dumb animal. So excellent work of making the clue work for your answer, but incorrect. The movie I was looking for did you did it help you at all Kevin to hear all three clues you still don't even have a guess. I mean my only guess would be that one where like Zac Efron turns into fucking Chandler whatever one that was. He turns into what? Doesn't he turn into Chandler or Chandler I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that. But I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it.

I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it.

I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it.

I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. I'm going to be able to do it. They're really in sync with each other. But anyway, it's not 17 again. It's a picture called Good Luck Chuck. Yeah, starring a day cook and the subject, the theme of today's game. Happy birthday to Jessica Alba. And it's all Jessica Alba movies. Wasn't Good Luck Chuck? Is that the one where like if you fuck Dane Cook, you get married to someone else immediately? Yeah.

So then, you know, all the ladies want to have sex with him because they all they all need to get married. If I fuck Dane Cook, do I do I find my true love? You know, if that movie had explored half as interesting an idea as the one you just pitched, you know, maybe it would have been good. I do. But Kevin is married to a 19 year old. OK, you're too old. Sorry. You're just. Sorry, old man. Yeah, he's not into your age and ass. Yeah.

Kevin's too young for, for, I don't, anyway. No matter how you slice it, that was the that was the game and so Kevin is Kevin is our winner but you know I think Kate and Blair should both be proud of you know being here in a moment where I figured out how to fix this game for future for future players you want to do one more now that you know it's just Alba let's see what what happens was we'll start with Kate you get the first one and it's a movie with Jessica Alba in it and the first tagline is you Louise, love this baby. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I wish I knew. I don't know that much about Jessica Alba.

Who does? I know she's I know she just stepped down, a CEO of the company that made her the 18th richest woman on the planet or some crazy thing. Good for her. OK, we can get some more information in her tag lines Well this next one does have more a cat so this is goes to Kevin There is no justice without sin oh Okay, Sin City Yeah There is no justice without sin. Oh Okay sin city

Yeah, yeah, I Was so hoping we get to Blair because then the third clue is in a city There's the shaky truce between those who rule and those who rule everything Wait, what those who rule the streets and those who rule everything but anyway that one had a lot more information in it, but once again Yes, Blair I like I I don't know. What's our dance movie? I Don't Kevin already got it right but But you're thinking of honey. Honey. Yeah.

Yeah. But Kevin got it right. That sounds like a mattress. Kevin got it right when he said Sin City. I just said the third clue just for, just for laughs. Oh, I didn't even get, I didn't even get that. Great. All right.

Let's slow down. Let's take a break. We'll all get our bearings. We'll all get our bearings. We'll all get our bearings. We'll all get our bearings. We'll all get our bearings. We'll all get our bearings.

We'll all get our bearings. We'll all get our bearings. We'll all get our bearings. We'll all get our bearings. We'll all get our bearings. We'll all get our bearings. We'll. Let's slow down. Let's take a break. We'll all get our bearings and we'll be right back. We're back. And Kevin gets to go first in our second and final game today, the one that decides everything. And I think all three of you are really going to be up for this particular game based on how you did in the last game.

Okay. Into it. I like that silence. That was, I thought people's muted their mics. I thought people's muted their mics. It's a game I call Albatross. Well, yeah, I'll name a movie. You tell me if that movie features Jessica Alba. A talking bird or neither. Those are your options. Whose turn is it?

Kevin gets to go first and then Kate and then Blair. But since there's three choices of Kevin misses on the first one, then Kate has two to choose from. And if Kate misses and Blair, you get the gimme point because it'll be obvious that the third option will still be available and then you'll say it and you'll get that. I'm really praying for your guys downfall right now so I can get on the board. Everybody who misses, uh, I mean, whenever somebody gets a point, the next person in order, uh, you know, Kevin, Kate Blair, uh, gets to, uh, you know, start the next round. This game

is flawless. Kevin, you ready? I sure am. This is so exciting. As soon as, as soon as Kate said in that last game, but I don't know that much about Jessica Alba, it got me really excited for this game. If it helps, I know nothing about talking birds. Well, I'm an expert there, so let's go. Yeah. I figured everybody would be either either you know, kind of either team Bird or team Alba. And so just to recap, Kevin, you have to tell me if this movie title,

this film has Jessica Alba in it, talking Bird or neither. You can say neither if you want, if you like to say it that way. I might. I'll still know what you mean. All right, here we go. The film is the sleeping dictionary. OK, fucking what? Yeah, there's a movie out there. Allegedly called The Sleeping Dictionary. Does it have Jessica Alba talking bird or neither?

Hmm. Yeah, that just melted. Title doesn't scream either, to be honest. No. But what are you going to do? Man, putting dictionary in the title of your movie. What are you going for? No, but it doesn't even a deal Man putting dictionary in the title of your movie. What are you going for? What is this? I'm trying to reverse engineer here It's not working. So I'm going to just take it out in the dark and say There's a talking bird reading a dictionary or something in that film

That's your guess. Yeah. Yeah talking bird Yep. Damn it. I'm sorry. No. Sleeping dictionary is not feature a talking bird. Kate, is it an Alba or an either? I think it's an Alba. I'm going to go with Alba. You're going Jessica Alba in the sleeping dictionary. Yes. I mean that it makes sense. Cause clearly that's why none of us have heard of it is because what a terrible, terrible title 2003 is sorry, Jessica Alba. Yay.

Yeah. Congratulations. From 2003, it's star Jessica Alba. Yay. Yeah. Congratulations. Kate is on the board. Blair, you are up. Are you ready?

Uh-huh. I think so. All right. Jessica Alba, talking bird. One Alba talking bird. One or more talking birds. Or neither. But the title is saying, let me look for it. Here we go. Valiant.

Never heard of that in my life. Is there a talking bird? Only movie with a talking bird is Moana. Okay. The bird talks in Moana? Oh yeah, chicken, hey hey. Who does the voice? I forget his name. Somebody good with noises.

Yeah, I- Cause it's a noisy little bird, right? Yeah, it's a noisy little bird, right? Uh, yeah. It's one long companion as she travels the ocean. Okay. I'm going to go. I'm going to go. Neither. Neither is your answer for the film Valiant. Sorry, I knew it was talking bird. Oh, we still have two more players.

Kevin, is it talking birds or neither? Well, um, didn't Blair guess neither? Yeah, I guess neither. Oh, I'm sorry. Is it, is it, so what does that leave that leaves? Is it an Alba or a talking birds? Valiant.

Um, I, you know what? I, I'm just going to go off on the assumption that you've found some deep deep cut Albas and I'll say Jessica Alba is in some mystery film called Valiant. Wait you think Sleeping Dictionary is deep cut? Yeah how silly of me. Yeah so you're going Alba? I think yeah yeah I'll go Alba. I mean you know the game is named after her so it seems like a

logical thing to say But now that is incorrect. No Hey, what's left? Okay, so this is valiant and yeah So I guess talking bird is left. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Would that have been your guess anyway? Man, well, I think my original guess would have been Alba, but you know, through process of elimination, I was really hoping that I would get a question like Sesame Street presents a big bird or something and I would have an easy, easy time. But yeah. Well, you know, maybe there will be a easier one later in the game, but you're, you're killing it so far.

You got two points and, and, uh, I'm, I'm disappointed in you a little bit, Blair, not in, in you, but just, uh, maybe more in maybe more in myself because Valiant is from 2005 and it is an animated motion picture. Really? That has, it's all birds that talk all the time, all the characters are birds and they are, it's a World War II movie. Wow, I'm going to have to look this up. Birds that go out and fight for their country. And I think Ewan McGregor is like the main bird. Is it good? Because I must say that's rather a fear title for an animated film. One that wouldn't lead me to believe in its animation, but now I know.

I think Valiant is the main bird, like he's Valiant cause he's like, you know, he's a war bird. He's a war pigeon or something. And then I think his sidekick, like the wackier bird is Ricky Gervais. Yeah, it does sound like the titles definitely sounds war movie. So, yeah.

So very misleading. I thought you might know it though, because of your love of You know animation Disappointed you again That was the wrong word that's not fair to say I was disappoint. All right, so Kate has two points and Blair You're up first Your turn, okay, you ready?

Yeah, I guess so. Speaking of up. Up. Up. Does it have Jessica Alba, Talking Birds or neither? Talking Birds.

Or is that a trick question? That is incorrect. God damn it. God damn it. I'm in hell. I am roasting away in the fiery pits of hell. Calvin, what's your guess? I've seen up many times, so.

I feel like I have too and I don't I I feel like I should know this and I don't. So. I'll go, I'll go neither. You're going to go to either. Yeah. OK. That is why I need. Oh, shit. Yeah, because there's a bird in it, but it doesn't talk. Oh, yeah, I think only the dog talks right, because he has that dog talks,

because he's got a special collar that translates what he's thinking. Yeah, that's right. Very confusing movie. I don't, I also, I don't think balloons can lift a house. Yeah. I mean, he had a lot of balloons, but come on, you see somebody holding that many balloons on main street Disneyland, they don't fly away. Right. There was a baby on Tik-tok though that did fly

Accidentally, oh and the parents got really worried. Yeah. Yeah, cuz you it, is it okay though? Well it was in their home, but yeah everyone was quite shocked all around and then they had to deploy all their efforts to get the baby back down from all the balloons unexpectedly lifting it into the air. I see, I see. So they probably won the top prize on America's Funniest Home Videos so it all works out. Probably. All right so Kevin just got a point for her saying neither but Kate if you get this next one right you win. Okay. All right Alba, Talking Bird or Neither a motion picture called Baby Baby Baby. Well, I'm going to go with Alba on that one.

That actually sounds familiar. You think Alba would make a movie called Baby Baby Baby? I think so. Yeah. Triple Baby? I think so. Well, I like your, you know, a lot of people will change their answer when I, you know, when I double check before locking it in. But I appreciate your commitment to baby, baby,

baby, because maybe you're right. Yeah. Oh my gosh. You did it. Congratulations, Kate. That was quite quite the win today and I Would like to share with everybody the next Round of the game just for fun Blair So it's proved to everybody you know what you're doing here, I'll try a Personality higher at this point

Alba talking birds or neither finding Nemo. Oh Kind of bird talking that one Alba is not in that one. Oh my god. This is like the SATs. Okay. I think in pa I can get bird can talk. No, can the bird talk? No, neither. Neither. I guess wrong with Bob and I've seen finding email again and many times way, but these little details are like whether they're out there speaking, those are hard to, uh, you know. Yeah, I'm going to go neither. I'm going to go neither.

Okay. I got it wrong. Fuck. Honestly thought I'll give her one that she's going to absolutely just nail. And, uh, I'm sorry. That's incorrect. You guys planted me here so that you could win. Mm-hmm. And they said, they said, ask her a lot about animation

because that's her favorite thing. I'm an industry plant. Yeah. This is going to become a Fox News culture war issue with DEI. Yeah. I can't remember. I need to do less weed gummies. Let's go to Kevin. Well, you know, I'm not, you shouldn't have to remember all these kinds of details, but I'll tell you at the end and you'll be, you'll be pleased to hear the answer. Kevin?

I think Finding Nemo, that's the one where the seagulls go, mine, mine, mine. Yeah, that's the talking birds. That's it. Yeah. That was my first instinct. I keep going against my first instinct. Yeah. Have you been to the Finding Nemo

attraction at Disneyland, Blair? Which one is that? Because I probably have the submarine. You get into you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here.

I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. I'm glad you're here. They go, mine, mine, mine, every once in a while. So if you stand there and watch them long enough, they'll suddenly do it and it's super cute and funny.

But that's the only reason I know they talk in the movie because they know the word mine. Oh, okay. All right. Learning a lot today. But Kevin knew it too. Have you ever seen the seagulls at Disneyland, Kevin? I don't think I have, no. Oh my God, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. go with talking bird on that one. That seems birdlike, right?

Yes. That's your birds. What would you do, Kevin? I'm going to say that is that that's a very realistic movie where a duck eats a diamond. That's very valuable and everybody's chasing it. But being that it's grounded in reality, it can't talk. So I would say neither.

Oh my God. All this sort of deductive reasoning is about to make my brain burst. I am a which which one sounded more. Which one do you side with? The million dollar duck. This is a real red herring if if you can believe it. This is a real red herring if you can believe it. The million dollar duck. Okay. I'm going to go with Kevin. His argument persuaded me probably against my better judgment. No, that's my favorite. It was somebody gets something right,

but also wrong because yes, it is neither because the titular duck does not speak but the reason the duck doesn't speak or the plot line rather isn't that he swallowed something it's that this couple Dean Jones and Sandy Duncan they find this duck it's an old Disney movie. They find that they get, they acquire this duck somehow and the duck shits gold. The duck golden eggs. But then what do we do? What do we just keep spending this gold and not tell anybody it's coming from our duck?

That's sort of like, That's sort of like Waka. It goes into... It's sort of rude, yeah. I think that's what it's about. Again, I just don't do any research, but I'm pretty sure from my childhood remembering that movie, and that that's what it's about. It'd be funny if, you know, you went and looked it up,

and it was like the Doug talks the whole time, and he just talks about how he swallowed his diamonds. Yeah, if I went back and checked you. I mean, if that's on Disney+, I just found my afternoon plans. Yes. Oh, I don't know if it's on, because Disney Plus kind of has body. They kind of have the older movies kind of come and go. So just because it's a Disney movie, I mean, it's definitely on there, but I think there's a really good, you got a real good shot. And if it's a Disney movie, I mean, it's definitely on there. But I think there's a really good you got a real good shot.

And if it's not on there, you know, if you just start looking through old Disney movies, there's some crazy ones. You know, I could go on and on about Disney movies from from my childhood. I'd say, oh, my God, it's. How about Bambi? It's there. It is on there. It is. Oh, yeah. That's good. Childhood I'd say oh my god Bambi was cold-blooded murder like traumatizing. I was saying Yeah, I was like this was made for children like children needed this one

No, they didn't So congratulations to Kate is our winner today. That means you get to do your plugs first. What would you like to promote? So I would just really like to promote my special. It's called Loopholes. It's on Amazon, Apple TV, YouTube. It is, you know is 45 minutes of standup jokes, a lot of stuff about relationships, sex, feminism. Don't have any movie stuff in there, but it has some cinematic stories. So please check it out.

Thank you. No talking ducks either. Yeah, unfortunately. If I had to go back, I would put a talking duck in there. Okay people could just imagine it for themselves. Exactly that I am a duck. Yeah. You have a duck costume on. Yes. And you of course are I'll you know hit you up after the show because as champion you're you know invited to return soon. So we'll get you back soon if you so desire.

Oh my God. Nice. Blair Saki, what do you got to promote? Well, other than my huge win today, I also have a special out on Veebs called Live from the Big Dog. Would love for you to look at that. My Netflix shows next week, May 6th at the Improv,

May 11th at the Comedy Store. I'll be headlining Kansas City, July 5th through 7th, Washington DC, July 26th to 28th. I like, next time I go to Kansas City I'm gonna call it Kansas City. I didn't even do that. That's a great name for it. Hell is an accident. I just have a speech impediment. Yeah, well it came out great. It worked out for everybody. Kevin Craft, tell us about your movie again.

So it's called The Second Coming of John Cooper. It's not out yet, but if you have Letterboxd, you can put it on your watch list and get notified when it is released. It's got a lot of familiar faces from Doug loves movies in it like Dustin Ibarra, Brian Posey, Rob Cordray, Doug Benson. So yeah, check it out. Hopefully it finds a home very soon. We just finished it. And unfortunately, social media plays a big part in those things.

So if you are generous with your follows, check out at John Cooper movie on Instagram and you know Unfortunately, one of the things people look at like what the social media following for movies are so fuck me Well, let me ask you this, you know When it comes to finding a home for the movie, are you willing to foster the movie? I Am willing to do anything Don't forget though everybody. Go foster dogs. Okay, the second coming of John Cooper, I am very excited about it and so much so that at the end of the show today, you know, I always say a last line from a movie as the closer. And so I picked a last line from a movie, the title of which reminded me, made me think

of, you know, it's similar to the second coming of John Cooper, because there was a movie back in the 70s called The Reincarnation of Peter Proud back in 1975. But you should look up like movies that have that or I should make a game out of it, like movies that have that same structure. There's something something of somebody, you know, I'm going to be doing standup at 420 on May the 4th be with you at Zany's in Chicago. Then the next day I'll be out at Rosemont O'Hare adjacent at the Zany's there for a Cinco de Hío Douglas movies.
