Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seeds With 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth There's still not one that he won't see Because Doug loves movies! Hey, hey, hey everybody! My name is Doug and I love movies! This is Doug Loves Movies. That was pretty good for a festival crowd.
Starting point is 00:00:32 Here we are once again. Esther's Follies is part of South by Southwest Comedy in Austin, Texas. Austin, Texas! It's Saturday, March 11, 2017. And badges don't count, you guys. I want to see legit name tags right now.
Starting point is 00:00:59 We got a few in the front row. We got a gentleman I saw on Twitter. What's your name, dude? Travis Tidmore. Travis Tidmore, but what's your name on your name tag? Tidmore American Graffiti. Tidmore American Graffiti. It's a great name tag.
Starting point is 00:01:15 And he guessed at, you know, obviously I'm here, but every other person he put on the poster is not going to be a guest today on the show. He got all the guesses wrong, but they're all really good guesses. Some of those people are in town, but they're too busy doing press, which cracks me up when that's the excuse
Starting point is 00:01:35 to not come on a podcast, because I think that would qualify as press, and probably a slightly more enthusiastic audience than other press might get, if you know what I'm saying. I mean, look at this crowd. Three of you brought name tags. Is there a
Starting point is 00:01:56 fourth one? Okay, good. There's a fourth one. Because we've got to have at least Okay, there's some back there. Oh, very nice. Okay. So we've got a few for my guests to choose from. Because as you can see, we've got to have at least, okay, there's some back there. Oh, very nice. Okay. So we've got a few for my guests to choose from. Because as you can see, we've got four guest seats, and I'm very excited about the people that are here today.
Starting point is 00:02:12 But first, Doug plugs. Friday, I'm going to be mocking Leprechaun 5 in the hood with Master Pancake over at the Ritz. And next Saturday, I'm doing another Doug Loves Movies at the Stateside Theater here in Austin on Congress.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Now, who is here in this Esther's Follies today who doesn't have a badge but got in anyway? Woo! Ha-ha-ha! I knew it was possible. All these badge-wearing motherfuckers up front, they're all looking around like, you could get in here without a badge?
Starting point is 00:02:56 But they did have to sit in the back, so we have a long way to go when it comes to the rights of people who don't have stinking badges. It's still a badge-wearing society. But that's proof that people can get into the other
Starting point is 00:03:18 shows that I'm doing during South By. It's totally doable. Tuesday, March 21st, Doug Lowe's Movies is back in Los Angeles at the UCB Franklin location. And yeah, it's fun. And I'm doing stand-up and Douglas Movies at Helium.
Starting point is 00:03:34 It's a gas in Portland. March 25th and 26th. But for all my dates, deeds, and links, go to DouglasMovies.com. That's DouglasMovies.com That's douglosmovies.com From the corrections department Professor X is
Starting point is 00:03:52 telepathic which means he controls minds telekinesis is the ability to move things with your mind. Yeah, I'm glad that's we worked that out. As those of you who listen to the podcast already know, we have a prize bag that someone's going to go home with today.
Starting point is 00:04:16 And a gentleman in the audience gave us a tube full of very artistic posters that are hard to roll and unroll and fit in the tube. So that is why I'm not going to show them to you. You have to trust me that they're very nice
Starting point is 00:04:35 and it's a nice thing for the guy to do. And also I didn't even bother to get his name or how you could check out his work. So I hope that's enough. I hope that's enough credit to make him happy. Also in the prize bag, a copy of my CD promotional tool,
Starting point is 00:04:59 a Doug Loves Movies T-shirt, some beads that I got on the 311 cruise that as you can see they're very green and very you know they bring to mind a certain thing. Yeah, right? Oh, look
Starting point is 00:05:18 at this. This is neat. This is a thing you can clip on like your keychain or onto any part of your body and then you stick your lighter in here and it's like a lighter leash. Like your lighter can only get so far away from you. But then next thing you know
Starting point is 00:05:34 you're standing in a circle of people smoking weed and you're like stretching it out as far as it can go to light it for somebody and it's probably not a good idea. This is a bag of things you shouldn't use, you guys. A rubber pipe from Peacemaker.
Starting point is 00:05:50 A lovely pink one, so I hope a girl wins today. Oh, a bunch of buttons. Somebody gave me a bunch of buttons. I'll say who a little later in the show. And then, this is a cool button I got on the 311 cruise
Starting point is 00:06:08 that a guy made that's specifically, I should keep that. And it's all in a Jimmy Kimmel Live bag. Did you guys see me on Jimmy Kimmel Live? They changed the Hollywood sign behind us to say Hollyweed for the entire segment but Jimmy asked me not to say anything about it
Starting point is 00:06:31 because he thought it was funnier for people to just notice it on their own and then it feels like nobody noticed it I was like, good idea, Jimmy That worked out great Speaking of things that work out great, there's four people that are in this town for various
Starting point is 00:06:49 reasons, which we will get into. And they all have from... What time does this thing start? Did it start at 4 o'clock? It didn't start at 4.20, sir. There's one thing a stoner... I may not be good
Starting point is 00:07:05 with time but I know that 420 is 10 minutes away and I am going to I'm going to set an alarm because it is rare that I'm on stage
Starting point is 00:07:19 at 420 so I'm going to set an alarm at 419 and then we'll see what happens yeah I don't know is anybody up at 420, so I'm gonna set an alarm at 419, and then we'll see what happens. Yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:07:30 Does anybody up close have a vape pen? Okay, get it ready. Please welcome to the stage Scoot McNary, Scott Thompson, Noelle Wells, and Leonard Maltin. You want that one? Oh, beautiful. Oh, such a polite panel already. Beautiful. Oh, such a polite panel already.
Starting point is 00:08:11 I can't believe it. Do you have goodie bags on the high court? There's no goodie bags on the high court. We just settle their case and send them on their way. And I hope to never see those people again. Some of them are nice. But let's meet our guests, the panel, individually, starting with Noelle Wells is here, everybody. Hi.
Starting point is 00:08:31 Woo! Hi, everybody. Writer, director, star of Mr. Roosevelt, premiering here at South by Southwest tomorrow. Tomorrow. At the Paramount 215. I've never been more excited so I'm very eager. It's so neat to have a premiere there at the Paramount.
Starting point is 00:08:54 That's like the best theater in town to premiere at. Right? Scoop knows Austin. Yeah. No, it's very cool. So congratulations. So if the movie sucks, I had a really high moment.
Starting point is 00:09:09 You're like in a... This is like the premiere and you're looking for distribution and all that, right? Alright, well, good luck with it. Thanks, and you're in it. I don't have anything to do with it. Wait, what? I'm in it? He's in this movie.
Starting point is 00:09:22 That's a surprise. I was so excited. I saw the poster over at the poster competition over at the convention center, and my name is on the poster. Aren't I in like one and a half scenes or something like that? Yeah, but you were a pivotal character.
Starting point is 00:09:38 Yeah, I'm pivotal. You're pivotal. I dare say I set the entire plot in motion, if I may. But what's a half scene? What? What's a half scene? I think, aren't I Skyping on the second scene?
Starting point is 00:09:50 Yeah, he calls in the middle of a scene. And then so he's in the half of it. Okay, so an interruption. Yeah. Like what I just did. Or it's like, actually, it is the whole scene, but half of it's on me in one location and half of it's on you in another location.
Starting point is 00:10:06 So I guess that's half a scene. I think that's why I jumped to that, giving it that designation. It's fascinating. Well, it's interesting. Right? That's Esther's folly, isn't it? I also used to... Have we discovered what Esther's folly is?
Starting point is 00:10:21 Do you know who... I used to work here. Leonard Walton probably knows more about Esther Williams than anybody else here right now. Would you dare to say that, Leonard? That this has any connection with Esther Williams? It doesn't, right? I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:10:34 Yes, it is. It's named after her. It's named after her, but she never did a show here because we're on land. She did mostly water-based entertainment. She was a famous... She was actually heading to the 1940 Olympics when they had to
Starting point is 00:10:52 cancel them because of war outbreak. What was happening then? Water shortage? Backstage. No, they canceled it due to low ratings. Oh, yes, because of the water shortage in Germany at the time. But she was a beautiful woman. Their showers didn't work. Someone suggested
Starting point is 00:11:08 Oh, Jesus. Oh, man. Oh, people! Get over yourself! I haven't even introduced you yet. Well, you said we were polite. I wanted to stop that right at the beginning. He's the rudest Canadian.
Starting point is 00:11:26 There has to be one. Yeah, I have to put the all of them up. Now, Louis B. Mayer, the head of MGM, once said about Esther Williams' Swimming Star, wet she's a star, dry she's not. Oh, wow. You can say that about a lot of ladies. Yeah, you can say that about a lot of them.
Starting point is 00:11:41 They said that about Janet Jameson, too. See, look at that. Jenna Jameson. Good, eh? Are you really proud of yourself coming up with, like, a head of real porn there? Yeah, a female porn star
Starting point is 00:11:55 right out of my pocket. All right, well, since... The only one I know are Marilyn Chambers. Okay, Scott, settle down. We're not even at the game portion yet. You're guessing away. What's the movie we're watching?
Starting point is 00:12:12 We're not going to watch a movie. This is like the one you did in... I'm so not prepared. I thought we were watching a movie. No, no, this is like the Toronto show where we talk about movies and then play games. This isn't a movie interruption.
Starting point is 00:12:31 Do you do like a mastery science theater? I was hoping we were going to see a bad movie. Nope. You just get to be in one. But that's Scott Thompson, everybody. I'm sorry to confuse you by having so many shows.
Starting point is 00:12:55 You have a lot of shows. I have a lot of shows, so every time you show up, you're like, what am I doing now? It's like the fourth one I've done, and they're all different. And you haven't done the food podcast yet. And I can't find any of them on actual television. No, this is just an audio podcast, Doug Loves Movies.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Just for people like some of these people, so don't laugh at them too much, Scott. So, they don't care that it's not on TV? I get an occasional message, why isn't this on TV? And I say, because it's a podcast. It's my simplest explanation.
Starting point is 00:13:35 I like the format. I enjoy doing it, and people like listening to it, so it's our little thing together that we have. But you, sir, recently appeared on my show that's on Screen Junkies. Your episode will be out sometime next month, I believe. The show's called Pitch Off.
Starting point is 00:13:55 And he was kind enough... You know, your lofty position in show business... I deign to come down from my perch. You deign to come in and be on a show where you pretend to pitch ideas for movies to a fake studio executive who is me. Well, $200, people.
Starting point is 00:14:09 What were they going to say? We do pay, yeah. We do give a very generous stipend to all of the participants. Favorite nations, too. Everybody got $200. Stipend is one they call it when they're not really paying you money.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Yeah, right. It's just a little something. Maybe we'll recommend you to somebody else. Give you a good... We'll give you a good Yelp review. Something like that.
Starting point is 00:14:34 But thanks for being here, dude. Thank you. What else you got going on at South By? You're obviously here to do some things. I'm doing Guy Branum's talk show,
Starting point is 00:14:42 the game show. Talk show game show? Yes. Yeah, that's fun, right? Yeah, at 8 o'clock tonight. I think it's here, too. It's in this very facility? I think it's in this very facility. You don't have to go anywhere. Oh, the Follies never stop. No, it's crazy.
Starting point is 00:14:54 And then I'm doing like a storytelling show. Well, I call it a storytelling show tomorrow night. You're supposed to have a stand-up set, but I don't have any material on it. Yeah, so you call it storytelling. Tell a story. Which means I'm calling it a storytelling show. Which means I'm not really prepared for it.
Starting point is 00:15:10 But it's like a storytelling show at 11 o'clock, I think, on drugs. People will be asleep. They will. So I don't have to do very well. But this is what I really care about. Watching the movie. Man, I was up for a movie. What are you playing?
Starting point is 00:15:28 Just that it's 419. You've been on Getting Doug with High. My pleasure, sir. What the fuck? Don't be an enabler. Enable me. No, I'll give it to him. It's like a fancy knight, a weed knight.
Starting point is 00:15:47 What am I supposed to do with this? Pretending I don't know I don't know how this works Oh Bestow it upon yourself I can't believe Leonard even touched it That's right Leonard Walton is here, everybody It's like, it looked green for a little bit. It was like backlit.
Starting point is 00:16:14 It was very beautiful. Well, also, I got a really pretty microphone, too. Oh, we all do. They are very shiny. Very pretty. Very pretty. I wish the audience at home could have seen that puff, though. Oh, yeah? You like that?
Starting point is 00:16:26 It was beautiful. Let's look at the replay. It was lovely. It was lovely. Oh. And you can smoke that on a plane, right? It looks, you know. All right. You don't have to.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Thank you. For the record, no one else did it but me. Just to be clear. Leonard, take a small one. What's so sneaky-peaky? Leonard! What are you doing in town? Sneaky peeky Leonard What are you doing in town? What's going on?
Starting point is 00:17:10 Funny you should ask Well I'm here doing your show That's not why you came here Well I also did an episode of my podcast With my daughter Jessie Malton on movies Yes And we had a good show today
Starting point is 00:17:20 With the terrific My brain Nick Offerman. Oh, that guy. Who's in a new movie called Hero with Sam Elliott. Have you seen it? Yes, it's very good. And we had the writer-director as well.
Starting point is 00:17:36 Nice. And that worked out very, very well. And on Tuesday, I'm very excited to say that I'm going to spend an hour in conversation with Frank Oz. I'm very excited to say that I'm going to spend an hour in conversation with Frank Oz. What a bunch of fucking nerds. Frank Oz cuts across all boundary lines.
Starting point is 00:17:55 Who doesn't love Frank Oz except people who are like, who? But most of us who know who he is. If for no other reason than holding up... Holding up Jake Blues' used prophylactic at the beginning of The Blues Brothers is my favorite Frank Oz role. Some of you may prefer Yoda or Miss Piggy, but I really love one used prophylactic.
Starting point is 00:18:25 So that's on Tuesday at what time and where? love. One used prophylactic. And oh, so that's on Tuesday at what time and where? 2 p.m. in the conference hall. I don't remember what room. Right, there's so many rooms over there. One of those rooms. But that'll be fun. And he's got a film here called, I think
Starting point is 00:18:39 it's called Muppet Guys Talking. Colon, then more words, but this isn't the game, so you don't need to give me the full title. But yeah, that's playing here. I want to see that as well. Me too. What's the thing you're most looking forward to seeing while you're here?
Starting point is 00:18:56 If there is such a thing. I do want to see Frank Oz's movie very much. I would like to see Edgar Wright's movie, Baby Driver. Baby Driver is tonight. And I've heard things about Mr. Roosevelt. Yeah, Edgar Wright's movie, Baby Driver. Baby Driver is tonight. And I've heard things about Mr. Roosevelt. Yeah, I heard that movie's coming out. I've heard good things about a bunch of others.
Starting point is 00:19:11 So, my daughter and I are hoping to catch as much as we can. Very good. And I heard you liked Kong Skull Island. A lot. Nice. I was worried. I was concerned because I know you're probably a huge fan of the
Starting point is 00:19:28 very original King Kong. One of my very favorite movies. And Son of Kong as well, which has its charms, right? Fewer charms. Fewer, but because they went a little too wacky with it. It was still pretty amazing that they made another one so quickly. Instantly. It was in theaters within months.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Yeah, but then there's been other Kong other one so quickly. Instantly. It was in theaters within months. Yeah. But then there's been other Kong movies that you probably have mixed feelings about. I do have mixed feelings about. King Kong is one of my all-time favorite films. It's also Peter Jackson's all-time favorite movie. He was going to remake it at one point
Starting point is 00:20:01 and then they announced Mighty Joe Young in the late 90s and that put the kibosh on his proposed remake of King Kong then. So he had a way here to get to see it. He stuck to it, finally got it to happen. Finally did it. And it's not a bad movie at all, but it's an imperfect, let's call it an uneven movie.
Starting point is 00:20:18 Well, I'll give this Kong Skull Island something that that King Kong didn't have, which is an hour less. Yes, there is that. That's a real boost in the right direction for a movie that's going to keep me engaged. Cut out an hour of it.
Starting point is 00:20:35 But man, the visual effects and the monsters, they're all terrific. Extraordinary. And John C. Reilly, I'm campaigning now, Leonard. I want you to terrific. Extraordinary. And John C. Reilly, I'm campaigning now, Leonard. I want you to help. Best supporting actor. He's wonderful.
Starting point is 00:20:50 He is so good in this movie. He's wonderful. He's the emotional heart of the movie, as opposed to Kong, which is what you sort of expect from a King Kong movie. But he's really great in it. Yes, he is. And he's right here in the wings. Hi.
Starting point is 00:21:03 No, that's John D. Reilly. Who did an impression? Was that you, Noel? It was me. Hi. Hi, John D. Reilly. Oh, my God. I can't believe you're here, man.
Starting point is 00:21:16 I did a movie. I wouldn't miss this for the world. I did voices for the Muppet movie, so. Yeah, he's so funny in the movie. He's like telling everybody, this is not a good idea. We're gonna die.
Starting point is 00:21:30 And he's like laughing the whole time. But speaking of people who laugh in the face of death, Scoot McNary is here, everybody. How you doing, man? Good. I came in town to see Doug.
Starting point is 00:21:55 That's it. Just to do the show, and I'm flying out right after. You're an Austin dude, though. Yeah, and I live here. This is where you live. And I try to catch up with you here whenever I'm in town and then sometimes you're off in Atlanta.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Soon to shoot season four and the final season of Halt and Catch Fire for AMC. Always a bunch of people that are super into that show and somehow other people go, what? Yeah, sometimes I'm like, what? Like, I don't understand what we're doing. Like, when we're tearing apart a computer,
Starting point is 00:22:37 it's kind of like, what? I don't know, just say the lines. But some people, the show is very accurate. That's why people like it so much that are in the business or were in the business is that it did the research and the show is very, very accurate to the way it was done in the 70s.
Starting point is 00:22:51 But most of the other people that weren't around at that time, they don't give a shit. Well, have fun with season four. Hey! I love the show and I'm very excited to go back and this is our last season, so we know that. So the show is going to have closure to it, which will be great. Yeah, and the lead dude in that show, and I'm very excited to go back, and this is our last season, so we know that, so the show's going to have closure to it,
Starting point is 00:23:07 which will be great. Yeah, and the lead dude in that show, what's his name, Lee Pace? Lee Pace, yeah. Yeah, he's amazing, right? He's great. Yeah, he's a very good actor, so check it out if you haven't yet.
Starting point is 00:23:16 There's probably ways to stream previous seasons somewhere. Sure, you could rip it. Binge watch it. Yeah. Yeah, but halt and catch fire. Halting soon. I think that's what AMC should start promoting it as.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Do people still stop you to talk about Fargo? Because you're in on the... I am working on this next season of Fargo, but no, they do not stop me. No. But I think that starts airing in a month
Starting point is 00:23:49 or something. He's in season three of Fargo. I buried the lead, maybe. Maybe. Yeah. Yeah, that's very exciting. And let's go through
Starting point is 00:24:03 talk to everybody about the prize bag. What do you got for us there, Scott Thompson? Well, I forgot. Since I thought we were going to the movie show, I didn't bring stuff. So I had to do a little bit of a shopping trip before. And I got some things that I think are very, very cute. And they're going to remind people of where they were when they saw this. So I got a little snow globe.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Texas snow globe. For people from Texas to remind yourself about that trip that you took out your door. When you left the house and you went to the city and the state that you actually live in. And I got that. But I thought that wasn't quite enough. So I got like one, just one of admit with the, is that the Texan flag? With the flag on it.
Starting point is 00:24:58 And then I can write on it, don't mess with me. But it's not written on it. Is that the phrase? Don't mess with Texas. Don't mess with me. But it's not written on it. Is that the phrase? Don't mess with Texas. Don't mess with Texas. Or me. Don't fucking mess. Don't mess.
Starting point is 00:25:10 I mean, no fucking. There's no need for that. So you got one oven mitt. And then, of course. Don't mess in my oven mitt is a good thing to put on there. Yeah, exactly. Don't make a mess with my oven mitt. And then, of course, a box of Raisin Bran.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Because who doesn't of Raisin Bran. Because who doesn't love Raisin Bran? It's a box of Raisin Bran. And you signed it. I signed it! Get your fiber, kids! Right? You're all youngsters, but you'll come to a time when fiber is
Starting point is 00:25:41 everything. And a good bowel movement will just set you off on a great day. You'll sail out of that house and go, I'm in Texas. I'm going to visit my own state. You'll be so excited. So get your fiber, kids. Love, Scott.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Now this is something people don't know about. Scott Two Scoops Thompson. My nickname. Always has been. Always has been. Always has been. There you go. It's true, it's so true.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Thoughtful. Well. That's a definite hashtag for this episode. Follow that. Hashtag Two Scoops. Noelle, what have you got? I had a similar conundrum. And I went to a convenience store
Starting point is 00:26:28 and then something told me you were gonna buy cereal. So I skipped the cereal. I was like, I should buy the cereal. What were you gonna get? Was it gonna be Raisin Bran? No, I think it was Apple Jacks. Apple Jacks.
Starting point is 00:26:39 Okay, so here's what I got. I normally bring a Team Noelle mug and I forgot to pack it and I feel really bad that I missed the tradition so I got a UT Texas hat and if you're from if you support another college you're never gonna wear it and
Starting point is 00:26:55 so we made a zine for my movie and it has a bunch of characters and stuff in it so I signed it and I feel really dumb about that but I needed to bring something. And then... Oh, it's nice. Oh, thank you, yes!
Starting point is 00:27:08 I don't feel as dumb anymore. And then these are two temporary tattoos that say movies and it's from a company called Movies and it's the number one company that puts the word movies on things. So I'm a huge fan. And I'm giving you two temporary tattoos. And then I took Polaroids of all the guests backstage. So you have like portraits of these people.
Starting point is 00:27:34 And I think that's it. And then I guess if you want a water bottle. You fooled us. You told me you were the official photographer for South by Southwest. I did and then I stole your soul. So that's it. Excellent. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Yeah, Scoot is always bringing some interesting stuff that he took from his friends. In the past, I couldn't steal anything. Is this your own stuff, though? Is this yours to give away? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is all my stuff. All right.
Starting point is 00:28:11 And I had to buy this bag. Hold the mic for me so you can... I like the challenge. Yeah, Leonard will help you out. So... A mouse pad. Oh! A mouse pad.
Starting point is 00:28:23 Oh! Vintage with neoprene backing and real fabric. Wow. Nice. Took a while to part with this one, but I did. This is more like a party bag kit. A camera that you can actually get 4x6 prints from and
Starting point is 00:28:43 take to the store and get the prints and hold it, which is very nostalgic. A Wilco Yankee Foxtrot Hotel album. Didn't want to part with this, but I had two. And some dust off. What time do you do the dust off? At 4.35? You do it all at once. The dust off, the album,
Starting point is 00:29:12 and then the camera. There's a white bag with it, too. You did bring things that do need to be dusted off. Yeah. Everybody needs a little dust off just to clean. So that's exciting. Is there some way to put everything back in bags and pass it all to me?
Starting point is 00:29:31 Certainly. We can just put them back in bags. Yeah, there you go. And Leonard brought a copy of... Well, this feels positively mundane next to the creativity that all you guys... No, people will cherish. The person who wins
Starting point is 00:29:45 is going to cherish this. The third edition of my Leonard Maltin's classic movie guide. Yeah! Good one! With something like 10,000 movie reviews in it,
Starting point is 00:29:58 but don't count. It's about 10,000. Roughly. Yeah. Like there's a review of Man of the Moment. From 1935. British. Two stars.
Starting point is 00:30:16 Tell me anything else about it, Leonard. It's in black and white. You do not make that distinction here in the review. It doesn't say color. Therefore, it is assumed to be black and white. Oh, in the classic book. That's right. If it doesn't say color, it's in black and white.
Starting point is 00:30:36 All right, you win. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Starting that one. What do you mean, mm-hmm? That would have been a good thing to say when I said, tell me anything about it. The black and white sounded like a dodge.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Oh, no. Hell no. Do you want to keep your bag, Noelle, the Showtime bag? You trying to keep that? That's your purse? That's my sack of dough. Oh, okay. I think we got enough baggage here to cover everything. That's my sack of dough Oh okay I think we got enough baggage here to cover everything Yeah
Starting point is 00:31:07 That's three bags And a roll of posters So Good luck To the winner With all that shit Alright Scott have you been to the movies lately
Starting point is 00:31:24 What was the last movie you saw? Oh, jeez. What did I see? Noel. Yeah. I recently watched part of two movies. Can I say that? I didn't watch a whole movie.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Parts of two movies. Go. Love and Death and The Great Dictator. Oh, wow. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. You going to finish either of them? Yeah. Well, wow. Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. You going to finish
Starting point is 00:31:46 either of them? Yeah. Well, I finally finished Love and Death. I keep... It's a really good movie, but every time I watch it, I fall asleep.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Oh, that's not good. So I finally finished the end, and I was like, this might be my favorite Woody Allen movie. Oh, yeah. I can see what you're talking about, because the Russian Revolution
Starting point is 00:32:03 is so sleep-inducing. I don't know. I'm normally just very sleepy when I'm watching things. And then, yeah, I started watching The Great Dictator here but haven't gotten to finish it. But I've seen it before. But it's so good. Has he done the ballet with the globe yet?
Starting point is 00:32:20 Yeah. It's downhill from there. He becomes a less pleasant dictator after that. But I was really surprised at how, because that was Charlie Chaplin's first talkie, and he's so incredibly gifted doing that character, speaking-wise. I just, it's fascinating.
Starting point is 00:32:38 Back to you, Scott. I just watched Nice Guys. I thought it was really funny. It's really good, right? It's really hilarious. I was telling you on a previous episode of this show that Ryan Gosling's very funny and you weren't buying it. I didn't and I went and I decided to check it out
Starting point is 00:32:52 and he is hilarious. He's really funny in it. And they have amazing chemistry. Yeah, him and Russell Crowe. Who would have thought it? They're so good. That's why nobody went because why would you think that would work?
Starting point is 00:33:02 It's like one of the funniest movies ever. It's hilarious. They're so good. I love the 70s setting in the Hollywood and all the big billboards on Sunset. It's dirty. Like, it's a dirty film. I like it.
Starting point is 00:33:15 It's like sweat and polyester shirts. It smells like a Syrian holding camp. That was a... you don't understand, that was flattering. That was a good thing. I love men crowded together in a small space. Possibly in a refugee situation. Willing to do anything to get out of their situation. I just dug a deeper hole.
Starting point is 00:33:53 I dug a hole beside my hole. I tunneled between them and I joined the two holes. Maybe we'll talk about submarine movies later in the show. But Scoot, what's the last movie you saw? Did you see something like Yesterday or Today?
Starting point is 00:34:09 I did watch the Amanda Knox, it's a doc though. But it was really good. The Amanda Knox doc? On Netflix about the girl in Italy that they said she killed her and we didn't know and it was a big thing. What's your theory?
Starting point is 00:34:25 I don't think she did it. I think it was the media kind of built it a story to sell papers. Three or four people are trying to applaud right now. Yes. It's not taking off.
Starting point is 00:34:41 I'm not a detective, but you know, based on what I saw. Can I float a theory? Yeah, please. Have you seen the documentary before? I was a deep man. I was a Knox head. I was obsessed with this murder. And whether or not she did it.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Because I just found it so fascinating, the psychology of it all. And here's what I really genuinely think happened. She came home. She didn she did it. And because I find, I just found it so fascinating, the psychology of it all. And here's what I really genuinely think happened. She came home. She didn't do it. But she came home after it had been done and freaked out
Starting point is 00:35:13 and then left and then the next day called the cops because she had smoked and done all these things and she thought she was going to get in trouble, freaked out.
Starting point is 00:35:20 So she was lying. Like she kind of had to make up a story. But she didn't do it. Because she was clearly lying like half the time. to make up a story but she didn't do it because she was clearly lying like half the time well now I think
Starting point is 00:35:27 she did it no who do you think did it the guy that did it the guy that raped her or the guy that
Starting point is 00:35:35 killed the woman his DNA is all over it he went to jail for it yeah he did but he did it and he had been committing crimes in the area
Starting point is 00:35:42 and been crawling and breaking into things and assaulting people on the street. But she just walked in, freaked out, because she was 20 years old and bonkers. That's it. Knocks head out. Makes sense. Leonard?
Starting point is 00:36:01 Well, we've already talked about Kong. Yes. Which is my latest, newest. I'm still cheering for Get Out. Get Out. People love Get Out. Can't say it often enough. What a good movie.
Starting point is 00:36:16 What a solid movie. What a fantastic debut for Jordan Peele as writer-director. Yeah. And a great cast, of course, that he assembled. But, I mean, it hits all the notes and so well. It's clearly like the arrival of a great new voice
Starting point is 00:36:34 in American film. Very exciting. Yeah, I have not yet seen it. Oh, duh. But I'm excited. People are going to talk to death. No, I don't listen to anything about it. People say get out. I just assume they mean leave the room, Doug.
Starting point is 00:36:51 And I do. So next time they say that, leave the room and then go to the nearest theater and say get out. I know, I've got to see it, but I'm too busy performing at film festivals. Doing press. Yeah, it's a drag.
Starting point is 00:37:06 I've seen a few things. What did you think of Logan? Did you like Logan? Yeah, pretty well. I thought it was enjoyable. A little long. Right, but you say that about 90% of the movies you see. Because it's true.
Starting point is 00:37:18 It is. Because it's true. It is. They are all too long. Logan didn't drag. I'll give it that. It just goes on longer than I think it needs to. Sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:37:29 But very well done. And of course, how can I not like a film, and I don't want to give this away, so I won't say too much. How can I not like a film that calls on, in a significant way, a great classic American movie, which it does.
Starting point is 00:37:44 And that's all I'll say. So you've got to, if you know it or see it. It's got shades of tootsie. All right, you guys. That was a nice talk. Now it's time for shit to get serious. And for me to say,
Starting point is 00:38:06 let the games begin! Alright. Alright. Some folks made some name tags. Everyone else has got a badge. A festival badge. Please do not choose festival badges unless you're really
Starting point is 00:38:25 dying to pick that person. But everybody go and select who you'd like to play for. Just physically take the name tag from them and bring it back to your seat. And while you do that,
Starting point is 00:38:37 we'll do this. We'll be right back after this message spoken by me. Hey guys, producer Matt here. No sponsors this episode, but Doug wants to remind you to watch The High Court weeknights on Comedy Central at midnight, 11 central and on the Comedy Central app. Now back to the show.
Starting point is 00:38:54 All right, we're back. Leonard Maltin went the distance, searched high and wide to find a picture of me with a joint in my mouth. And I assume the person whose name tag this is? Tommy? That's your name? You're the other character. You're passed out over a bong.
Starting point is 00:39:17 Oh, and we're on a... We look like we're on an island of roaches? It's just trash? And then it says Swiss Tommy Man. Yeah, good job. Oh, there's a thing on the back
Starting point is 00:39:34 and everything. Alright. Excellent choice, Leonard. Did you like that movie, Swiss Army Man? Oh, a lot, yes. One of the most original films last year, I think. Certainly one of the most original films last year, I think. Certainly one of the most flatulent. We got Scoot picked Juggs Benson in Don't Tell Mom
Starting point is 00:39:54 the Babysitter's Greg. It's a pretty good one. It's got lights, too. It's got lights on it. Scoot likes the lights. So does Noelle. She picked a lit up one lights too. It's got lights on it. E for effort. Yeah, Scoot likes the lights. So does Noelle. She picked a lit up one too. I think they came to their pairs.
Starting point is 00:40:11 They're right next to each other. These two sides come together. You guys just picked people in the front row. But they look so cute. So lazy. But look at their, this is great. It's like bingo. You can have more than one card.
Starting point is 00:40:22 All right, and who's the, what do you got there, Scott? I have Menace Drew Society. But I picked it erroneously. I thought it was a pun on Nancy Drew. And then I thought, this is the worst ever. There's nothing to do with Nancy Drew. So I picked it for the wrong reasons, but then I realized it is Menace 2 Society.
Starting point is 00:40:44 And it's, I guess, are you Drew? Yep. Okay, then I guess that's the deal. I like seeing my face on a Menace 2 Society poster. There you go. I like that movie. That's cute. And mine's the hand that Roxy's the cradle.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Oh, yeah, we should say that. Yeah, and you look very scary. Yeah, my face is scary in there. And Roxy's here. And Roxy's there. Yeah. It's a great scary picture of you, Doug. Yeah, where did this picture come from?
Starting point is 00:41:10 Well, if you see the whole picture, it makes more sense because I'm in bed and I have a cocktail. You're an angry drunk. That's why I've got that, why are you taking a picture of me face? I just want to say hi to somebody real quick if that's cool with everybody. Hanging out on the wings. Come on out and say hello to everybody. It's Jenny Slate. Drop by. Hi.
Starting point is 00:41:34 Hi. I'm sitting here looking at my phone as I do and she's like texting me hey I'm at your show. What's going on? I'm like come I do, and she's like texting me, hey, I'm at your show, what's going on? I'm like, come out on stage. And she's like, really? And you're very polite. You're not just going to run out here.
Starting point is 00:41:53 No, I wasn't going to. No, you don't. That's crazy. I would run out on the stage, but I guess now I'm here. I have a beer, and I was drinking more beers back there. So, hello.
Starting point is 00:42:05 Sorry I interrupted. No, and I was drinking more beers back there. So, hello. Sorry I interrupted. No, you didn't interrupt anything. I mean, yeah, we got stuff to do, but... But I'm so excited you're here, because I was just watching Secret Life of Pets, and you're awesome in that. I'm the dog. She's one of several dogs.
Starting point is 00:42:25 There's also a bunny. That's true. I'm the girl dog with the bow. And it's chill. I love it. It's really, really fun to be a cartoon animal, if you're wondering. And Harley Quinn in Lego Batman. That's true.
Starting point is 00:42:40 I didn't come here for you to say my jobs. Listen, this is your life. I brought together four of your biggest fans. And you're going to stand there while we all sit and talk about you. Yeah, I would love to have that experience. It feels odd for everyone else here who is not signing up for these people. Most of them, I mean, I know hello, but we haven't been
Starting point is 00:43:07 formally introduced. No, not yet. Which ones haven't you met? I think all. What? Let's go down the line. Go down to the other end and meet Scott Thompson. Legendary. Kids in the hall. Me too. She's a big fan.
Starting point is 00:43:23 I knew she would be. This is so awkward. Yeah, look. Do you want to get to her? Noelle Wells. Say hi to Noelle Wells. Look at that.
Starting point is 00:43:31 Hey, they're hugging. This is so awesome. That's Scoot McNary, terrific character actor. You may know him from Hall to Catch Fire. And Leonard Maltin,
Starting point is 00:43:45 what's your favorite Jenny Slate vehicle? Do you like her abortion movie? Was that fun for you? It was too long. I like Obvious Child. Oh, man. That's what they say about pregnancy. If we could cut one trimester out of this thing. Chief shot.
Starting point is 00:44:03 That's why you get an abortion. I don't even ask her a question. I just put the microphone in her face. I was talking earlier about how I did your first getting a Doug with High show and they shut us down for smoking weed live on YouTube and it was hard
Starting point is 00:44:18 at that moment. Yeah, but now we've been going for, we've had like 150 episodes and every week we ask you to come back and the answer's no. Yep, gotta smoke weed in private now. Poodles with secret lives. Don't go on podcasts.
Starting point is 00:44:37 But thank you for coming out here and saying hello to everybody. Thank you for having me. I would love to use the restroom. Oh, I bet you that our backstage staff can point you in the right direction for that. And that's Jenny Slade, everybody! Thank you!
Starting point is 00:44:56 I mean, you can't say no to that, right? No, of course not. What a delightful surprise. Why did you turn down John C. Reilly, though, when he was standing right there? He was standing right there, and I was just like, that guy is overrated. I'm serious.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Best supporting actor for John C. Reilly next year. Never happens for comedic roles like that. But he's the heart of that movie, I feel, and does a great job. And I know you guys aren't watching Kong Skull Island right now. Though Scott wishes we were.
Starting point is 00:45:27 But I do recommend it. Yes, I do. I would have loved that. Is it too late? We could do an interruption of that eventually, but we have to wait a few months. It would be nice if that was backstage, the movie. The next interruption in Los Angeles is, do you know the movie Collateral Beauty? I've heard of it, yes.
Starting point is 00:45:47 Yeah, we're going to interrupt that, so I'll check and see if you're available. Okay, sure. Yeah. I've never seen that. Yeah. It sounds like I wouldn't like it. It's Will Smith plays a guy. Leonard, tell us about it.
Starting point is 00:46:01 It was too long. In the month of December, when there are too many movies released at the same time... Oh, Leonard doesn't see them all. I don't see them all. And you skipped ones called Collateral Beauty. I did. Good for you.
Starting point is 00:46:20 Good for you. And I hope one of these days I'll catch up with it, or maybe I don't. But you don't... You know the premise, though. No, I don't. Oh, I'll tell you. What is the premise?
Starting point is 00:46:33 Will Smith plays a character who starts getting letters from hope and death and a third... Oh, that's right. A third ploying thing. It's a Christmas carol style thing. Kind of. But he gets letters from these people and everybody thinks he's nuts
Starting point is 00:46:47 when he's talking about these letters he's getting. And then, you know, there's a miracle or something. But I can't wait to watch it for the first time with an audience and a microphone. Oh, you'll have fun with that. Yeah, I think it'll be a good time. Where were we? What's happening?
Starting point is 00:47:04 The games are about to begin What's happening? The games. The games. The games. I trust you, Leonard. So I'm going to start the games. Let's start with a little game called Alex's, Jason and Deb's IMDb Game. And yes, of course,
Starting point is 00:47:26 this game was born here in Austin. And I will name the top four titles in somebody's best known for on IMDb. And just buzz in with your own name.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Just based on that book that Leonard had, he's clearly going to win this game. This isn't based on his book. And when we play the game based on his book, he often lost. Okay, good, good. Embarrassingly. Okay.
Starting point is 00:47:58 But yeah, I mean, Scoot, I don't know if you were listening, but he has not written the IMDb site. Yeah, but he reviewed 800 films. That's where the game is from. Yeah, but that's, you know, how can you remember? You know what I mean? Like, you guys are probably, like,
Starting point is 00:48:14 on the opposite ends of the knowing the movie spectrum, because you're working in them all the time, and he's writing about them all the time. So you're too busy to see all of them. So that's where you're going to have some trouble. And he has seen all of them. Right, that helps you
Starting point is 00:48:34 for sure. I'm not... He does not feel reassured. I think you'll do alright. If I had to pick a winner tonight... It's not me.
Starting point is 00:48:48 It's not Noelle. Exactly. Glad you have some confidence. Scott's also shaking me off. It's between me and Leonard. I think Scoot's going to do it. Scoot's going to win. He seems poised for victory.
Starting point is 00:49:01 My money's on Scoot, but that's part of the fun. Expectations might be upset. And I'll start naming movies. You name your own name when you want to buzz in. Audience, no guesses on this. You can guess even the first one you can guess? Yeah, but it's risky. It's negative one point if you get it wrong. You can blind guess.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Scoot thinks you can blind guess. Okay, Sigourney Weaver? Sigourney Weaver? Do you really want a negative one point right now? Because a blind guess is very risky. I think I can get it. Because it's nice to go on something. But Sigourney Weaver,
Starting point is 00:49:41 I want to give you a point for what a great guess that was. It feels like you're hesitating because it's Sigourney Weaver, I want to give you a point for what a great guess that was. It feels like you're hesitating because it's Sigourney Weaver. It does. You just don't fuck with Sigourney Weaver. That's what I mean. You're frightened. That's my feeling. All right. So does everybody think they understand how this works?
Starting point is 00:49:59 Oh, I know. Okay. Rawr! Okay. Rawr! The first movie in this person's best known for is Les Miserables. Anne Hathaway. What's your name?
Starting point is 00:50:17 What? Noel. Noel Anne Hathaway. That is correct. Oh, damn it! Oh! Noelle Anne Hathaway That is correct Oh damn it I guess I didn't understand the rules I was just like scream it right
Starting point is 00:50:32 That's what it was You just buzz in with your own name and then you guess In case it's close sometime Good one You were way ahead of everybody on that one You know there's a lot of people in Les Miserables right yeah I was gonna say Hugh
Starting point is 00:50:49 me too Hugh Jackman alright so now not only do you get one point Noelle you also get to try to guess three more three more three more films
Starting point is 00:51:07 that Anne Hathaway has done oh I just what? could be TV also oh on the top? I don't think she's done any TV that are in the top four? yeah in her top four after Les Mis
Starting point is 00:51:17 okay Princess Diaries okay Devil Wears Prada okay and um Devil Wears Prada okay and uh fuck uh shh
Starting point is 00:51:32 but yes what um uh let's see um I'm trying I know this
Starting point is 00:51:40 title okay say it I'm it's in my body, but not in my mouth yet. What? That was a very weird thing I just said. Okay, so it is the one that she
Starting point is 00:51:55 did. I love that. What if I don't know? It's okay. It's alright to not know. You might have gotten two points. Maybe. It's a bonus.
Starting point is 00:52:08 These are bonus points. Okay, I'm out. Sorry. Incorrect. All of them? On both of those, yeah. They went with Interstellar, The Dark Knight, and Rachel Getting Married. Really?
Starting point is 00:52:22 I know. That's weird. You'd think Devil Wears Prada would be in there Is this based on user ratings? It's based on a whole crazy metric of several things including now the actors themselves can go in and put what they want in there
Starting point is 00:52:36 So she's really proud of Rachel getting the award We don't know if she did it or not That's part of the fun, right? Maybe Alright, so But Noelle is in the lead with one point Oh. Yeah. Okay. That's part of the fun, right? Maybe. All right. So, but Noelle is in the lead with one point.
Starting point is 00:52:51 So it's based on nothing tangible at all. Well, there's some tangible things like box office and awards and, you know, there's all those things. But there's a metric of all of them that leaves you with Rachel getting married is in her top four. But that's a terrible movie. I mean, she was nominated for Best Actress for it. Yeah, but it's terrible. Devil Wears Prada is her best movie. I mean, it's just clear, isn't it? Addicts seem to like...
Starting point is 00:53:13 I think you got... Wait till you see Colossal. What's that? That might be your favorite Anne Hathaway movie. Yeah, there's Colossal fans in the audience. Oh. Yeah. Well, this is Austin because that's an Alamo Drafthouse release. Right? favorite Anne Hathaway movie. There's colossal fans in the audience. This is Austin because that's an Alamo
Starting point is 00:53:28 Drafthouse release. Their new imprint, Neon. Neon Films is releasing Colossal. It's very good. Have you seen it, Leonard? I can't talk about it because it hasn't opened yet. Oh, I like that.
Starting point is 00:53:43 That's a great way of saying he hated it. I've seen several films that I can't talk about. Okay, you can't talk about it. That's the official word. You can't talk about it. Did you like it? Scoot is a scamp. I'm embargoed.
Starting point is 00:54:02 I'm embargoed. I'm so sorry. I'm embargoed. I'm so sorry. I'm embargoed. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. That's my secret method. I'm not embargoed and I loved it. Alright. This is the next top four of someone. Also, a theme might emerge
Starting point is 00:54:18 in who the answers are. So keep that in mind. I often forget to remind people of that. And then afterwards, I was like, hey, there was a theme. Finding Nemo. Oh. Somebody in the audience said, Ellen.
Starting point is 00:54:39 Shh. Sorry. I'm like Dory I have a three second memory Alan okay next title smart of you to all wait a beautiful mind was Russell Crowe in Finding Nemo
Starting point is 00:55:04 that's what I'm thinking I think he might have been He's got to have been What fish was he? Was he a shark? He was Bruce the Shark He was Bruce the Shark Okay, here's the next title
Starting point is 00:55:22 One Life to Live? What? Yeah, my question mark, not theirs Okay, here's the next title. One Life to Live? What? Yeah, my question mark, not theirs. The soap opera One Life to Live, apparently, had appearances by this performer. And then finally... My Cousin Vinny.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Ted Danson. Marissa Tomei. Okay, first of all, your names are Scoot and Larry. Marissa Tomei, did someone say that? This is like being on Jeopardy and you forgot to phrase it as a question. But we don't have buzzers to buzz. We just have to buzz our names.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Scoot. Ted Danson. No. It's a good guess. Negative's good. Ted Danson. No. It's a good guess. Negative one point. Okay. Leonard. I don't even remember who I said.
Starting point is 00:56:14 That's how confused I am. Sneaky play, Leonard. I know. You can't be wrong if we don't remember what you said. I'll stick with the answer. I just can't remember what the hell I'm talking about. Who did he say?
Starting point is 00:56:29 Marissa Tomei. Yeah, yeah. Who did he say? Marissa Tomei. Okay, so that's wrong. That's wrong. Minus one for Leonard. I'm trying to think about
Starting point is 00:56:39 who might have been on a soap opera in New York. Right, yeah. Well, and also, obviously she wasn't like my cousin Vinny. Yeah. Did anybody else not try that one and want to?
Starting point is 00:56:52 I think it's a tough one. It's a real tough one. I did it. You'll understand why I did it when I say it. Great character actor who goes by the name Austin Pendleton. Oh. actor who goes by the name Austin Pendleton. I see the audience response.
Starting point is 00:57:16 I think they understood it. So far we have Anne Hathaway who played Jane Austin in a movie. We have Austin Pendleton. Holy crap, what's going to happen next? Noel is still in the lead with one point. Scott is in second with zero. And Leonard and Scoot are both in the hole with negative one apiece. It's okay, I've recovered from here before. You can totally turn it around at any time.
Starting point is 00:57:39 The first credit of this next person is from television and it's The Fall Guy. Shh. Great show. Lee Majors. What's your name? Scott Thompson says Lee Majors.
Starting point is 00:57:55 That is correct. Yeah! Ah, yes! Oh, I feel good about that. I, for one, want to hear what other three Lee Majors credits constitute his best known or algorithmically determined favorite thing. Exactly. Or Lee Majors determined. Wait till you hear. Scott, do you have three guesses?
Starting point is 00:58:21 Except for one thing. He's in a great new series. Well, Six Million Dollar Man. Does that count? That would count if it's in there, sure. And then he did another thing. Okay. Like in the 80s. Another thing. Where he played like another, he was a cop with all of his limbs.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Okay. That was like, oh yeah, I'm all here. Yeah. All of me. My legs work. Sounds good. And my arms work. So those are your additional guesses.
Starting point is 00:58:56 I'm all here, my legs work, my arms work. No, there's a fifth one. I don't have super hearing. That was Jamie Summers. I have super sight. What was his name? What was Lee Major's name on that? Steve Austin. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:59:09 And so a $6 million man. But the other guesses are wrong, I have to say. They listed two more TV shows, The Big Valley and Owen Marshall, Counselor at Law. Owen Marshall. Yeah, he went full TV, all four credits. I know, but they did not list the fact that he's
Starting point is 00:59:26 really terrific now playing Bruce Campbell's dad. Yeah, yeah. He's in Ash vs. Evil Dead. Is he really? Yeah, he's very funny. Yeah. Yeah, and a very funny man.
Starting point is 00:59:38 And the best thing he's had in a long time and he's really good. Yeah, he's terrific. Somebody's laughing like they don't believe it. It's true. The Colonel Steve Austin that I know is Bruce Campbell's dad?
Starting point is 00:59:53 All right, so Scott now has two points, and Noel has one, and the less said about the rest, the better. Oh, yeah. This is for everything, unless there's a tie. This is for everything. Yeah, you can take the lead here. I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:00:13 If it's worth three. One of us can dig ourselves out, but maybe not. I don't know. Who knows what's going to happen. The pressure is intense. It really is. Okay, let's double check. It's Scott, Noel, Scoot, and Leonard.
Starting point is 01:00:33 That's what you say first. Right. We say Scott, Noel, Scoot, and Leonard. Then I will say yes, and then you will say the answer. Right. I like how Scoot's holding his mic like a martini glass I've honestly never seen that before
Starting point is 01:00:50 I just think the podcast always needs to see that they need to have a mental image of you holding my glass welcome to Austin is that a Texan thing to help them hold their mics here keep your microphone holding weird Welcome to Austin. Is that a Texan thing? To help them hold their mics here?
Starting point is 01:01:07 Yeah, keep your microphone holding weird. I'm sorry. That was unfair. I did some mic shaming there. That's not right. No, you didn't do it the way you were more comfortable. Oh, sorry. I'm more comfortable.
Starting point is 01:01:21 There you are. It's a mic, not a snifter. I'm ready. I'm ready to say my name. You all look like you're ready to do a remote from downtown. You're all holding like news station
Starting point is 01:01:40 microphones. Totally. We need to do this. I can't hear you, Steve. Yeah. Yeah, it's been raining all afternoon. Yeah, it's really put a real damper
Starting point is 01:01:53 on the festival. A lot of crowds. Yeah. Big crowd, no. Scott, Scott, you're on in five. Okay, here we go. And that weather system,
Starting point is 01:02:03 people will be leaving at about eight o'clock. So stay tuned for that. Up next, the Texas Chargers take on the Austin Rams. In another big, big football game. This whole state's going to turn out for it. Because we love our teams. We love our football here.
Starting point is 01:02:26 Back to you, Steve. I can't even fake sports. I just can't even. That's true. We do love our teams. Yeah, we do. That's right, Susan. We do. This just in. We still do.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Wherever you go, people love their teams. Can we review the possible theme that we're building? Oh, I love that. That's a great idea to recap that. All right. Anne Hathaway played Jane Austen. Austen Pendleton, great character.
Starting point is 01:02:59 Lee Majors stars Colonel Steve Austen in Six Million Dollar Man. And we are in. And now here's the last one. And I think I didn't need to recap the theme. Oh, I know what it's going to be. Mike Myers. I would all do, God damn it. What's happening? Nothing. Are you pre-guessing,
Starting point is 01:03:16 Scoot? Because I will give you negative one point for an incorrect pre-guess. Do it. No. I'm going to pre-guess I got it for the win What are you saying? Mike Myers
Starting point is 01:03:29 That's correct This is what you get for following the rules You lose That's never happened Did I get points? It doesn't matter what happens because you already are in the lead. But do you want to guess
Starting point is 01:03:52 four movies that have Mike Myers in them? Yes. I would say Shrek, Wayne's World, Mike Myers. I would say Shrek, Wayne's World, Mike Myers. SNL?
Starting point is 01:04:13 Is that it? Could be. Could be in there. Okay, and then... Well, obviously, Austin Powers. Full title? Man of Mystery. Oh.
Starting point is 01:04:28 Austin Powers, Fat Bastard. International Man of Mystery. International Man of Mystery. Nope. They went with Wayne's World, Shrek, Austin Powers in Goldmember. Right? Yeah, and number one,
Starting point is 01:04:47 Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me. Yeah, I guess that was the most popular in the series. And it's the best, some guy in the back just said. It's my favorite. It does have a... What's her name? She looks good. Heather Graham, yes!
Starting point is 01:05:08 No more audience answers. Even when I'm saying it directly to you. So that means Scoot won our first game, but we got one more game to play. Yeah, the game is try to figure out the mystery of the IMDb algorithm that puts those films together. Yeah, you really got to try to let that go, Leonard. I would love to. I would love to just release that and let them do whatever they want and name four movies for everybody. But that makes no sense at all.
Starting point is 01:05:46 All right, you're forcing me, you're forcing my hand, Leonard. Let's look at your IMDb page. Oh, no. Why would they have me listed even for anything? They do. I mean, I know, but... There are four things, Leonard, that define you.
Starting point is 01:06:02 The four things that will define me. And you don't get to pick what they are. As easily as those others define them? The algorithm picks it for you. Okay. Robert Sean Leonard is not you? No.
Starting point is 01:06:22 Malton. I bear no responsibility for anybody else's work. Leonard Malton is bear no responsibility for anybody else's work Leonard Maltin is one of the most recognized and respected film critics of our time Wow Well, I dodged a bullet there You thought the first line of your IMDb page
Starting point is 01:06:42 might be critical? Critics suck and he's one of them. I have read worse online. Right? Yeah. Opinions make people mad. So you've got a show. You did something somewhere called Secrets Out?
Starting point is 01:07:00 That's right. That was like an insider movie review? It was a weekly movie review show for Reel's channel, which I hosted for six years. There you go. And then Malton on Movies. Mm-hmm. That's the podcast, the current podcast. Yeah, this was an earlier version of it that they've got on here.
Starting point is 01:07:19 Oh, okay. And then what is Forgotten Silver? Oh, Forgotten Silver, you should know. You should know this one. This is Peter Jackson's faux documentary. Oh, really? Yeah. About a legendary and forgotten silent film pioneer in New Zealand.
Starting point is 01:07:42 And it's all bogus. And he did a brilliant job of recreating silent movie footage and getting people to talk about this this guy Colin McKenzie and how they've just discovered some of his early footage and all this so Sam Neill is in it as a talking head and you know why it's in your top four because it's a Peter Peter Jackson film. You get a thank you in it. No, I'm in it. You're also in it.
Starting point is 01:08:07 I'm on screen. And then they must at the end say thanks to all the people that are in it. So then IMDb is like, they said thanks to Leonard Maltin. That was his character name was Thank You. And then finally, The Making of The Quiet Man. Which I produced. Yeah, there, that got it here. And it says writer is the credit they give you for it.
Starting point is 01:08:31 That's nice. That's generous of them. But there you go. That's a solid top four that you've got on there. Those are nice. Those are all positive. They could have chosen much worse. So, again, I dodged a bullet. Maybe several. I know all of you have very busy schedules with all the things going on here.
Starting point is 01:08:49 Do you have about 15 more minutes? Sure. Is that cool? Well, I mean, what time is it? Yeah, man, just hurry up, dude. I gotta go. Scott thought he was gonna be watching a movie. No, no, I'm fine.
Starting point is 01:09:01 Movie's still going. It's 5.15 now. We'll be done by 5.30. Is that cool? Yeah. Okay, cool. All right, so we're going to play a twist on a game that we play on the show. The game on the show is called Last Man Stanton,
Starting point is 01:09:15 but in this particular case it's going to be Last Mash Stanton because I've got two names, two Hollywood names that I've mashed together into one name, and you guys are going to take turns naming movies that star or feature either one of these actors until you can't think of one, and then you're out. But you do get one lifeline. Leonard gets to go to Tommy once,
Starting point is 01:09:44 and Scott can go to Tommy once. And Scott can go to Drew once. Greg. Greg. And what is it? Roxy? Right. That you're playing for?
Starting point is 01:09:58 Noel? Yes. Yes. That's true. She's your lifeline. Thank you. Do you feel confident, Roxy? I do.
Starting point is 01:10:05 She does. I like that. Do you feel confident, Roxy? I do. She does. I like that. Are they allowed to use their phones? Good, good, good. No. I thought about it. Trying to be reasonable. I thought, well, for one, you know, because at least that way when you go to your lifeline,
Starting point is 01:10:25 they'll probably have something for you. So it's not a terrible idea, but phones in general are bad. And if you live in Austin or go to any of the Alamo draft houses, how great is it that they just will throw people out for using their phones? Shout out to them. So here's the mashed up name. Chris Pine Glover.
Starting point is 01:10:53 So it's the films of Crispin Glover and Chris Pine. Chris Pine Glover. Yeah, I thought of that today when I was watching a Chris Pine movie and I was very proud of myself. And Scoot won the first game, so Scoot gets to go first.
Starting point is 01:11:16 Name any movie that's got one of those two dudes in it. Silverado. Which one's in that? Danny Glover. All right, let me... Let me... What?
Starting point is 01:11:36 I've just rebuilt this game for you. So, let me get the rules straight. Crispin Glover and Chris Pine. Pine. Rats. That's the Crispin Glover thing? Okay. Y'all don't seem impressed.
Starting point is 01:11:56 That was a good pull. Good job. Noelle? Back to the Future. Very good. Be careful? Back to the Future. Very good. Be careful with that one, everybody. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:13 We know what happened there. Butthead. Scott? Back to the Future 2? I just said be careful. I can't do that. And you stepped right into it. Lethal Weapon.
Starting point is 01:12:29 Danny Glover's in that one too. Wait, why do you think it's... Scoot, see what you've done? Two points. I'm sorry, go to think. Two points for that. There's three Lethal Weapons too. It's just...
Starting point is 01:12:42 It's just Chris Pine or Crispin Glover. Chris Pine. I don't think I've ever seen him in anything. Oh, you have. Is he in Guardians of the Galaxy? Maybe. Guardians of the Galaxy. Now, listen.
Starting point is 01:12:55 Shush, you guys. I got this. Oh, Star Trek. He's in the Star Trek movie. Yes. Okay, is that what you're going with? Star Trek? Star Trek.
Starting point is 01:13:02 And where'd you get that from? An audience member? No, no, because I just realized the guy in Guardians of the Galaxy is another guy. Okay, is that what you're going with? Star Trek. Star Trek. And where'd you get that from? An audience member? No, no, because I just realized the guy in Guardians of the Galaxy is another guy. Okay, yeah. I know he's Captain Kirk. They're both named Chris. That's true.
Starting point is 01:13:12 All right. And they're both marginally. All right, you got through it. Okay. But next time, you know, use your lifeline if you're not sure. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:13:21 Leonard? The River's Edge. Oh. Oh. That's a really good one. That's a really good one That's a really good one Yeah that's terrific That's how the game should be played What did you say again Scott? I forgot already
Starting point is 01:13:43 A Lethal Weapon No Star Trek Yeah Star Trek That's right Star Trek What did you say again, Scott? I forgot already. A Lethal Weapon. No. Star Trek. Yeah, Star Trek. That's right, Star Trek. Just Star Trek. That's all there is to it.
Starting point is 01:13:56 Scoot? Hell or High Water. Yes. Is Danny in that one too? Oh, now I know who Chris Pine is. Chris Pine is in Hella Hot. Chris Pine, come on. When are people
Starting point is 01:14:09 going to... It's not working. I am so happy. I was about to say something really dumb. So what do you got? Enchanted. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:19 What? No, right? Chris Pine? No, am I wrong? No, I know what you're thinking of. Who am I thinking? Okay, can I try one more that I thought?
Starting point is 01:14:28 I thought I knew who it was, but now I'm really lost. Go to your lifeline. No, election? Oh, is that a different? Go to your lifeline. Who's that? Chris who? Okay, lifeline.
Starting point is 01:14:38 Help her out. Star Trek Beyond? I'm going to say Lethal Weapon 2. Star Trek Beyond. Star Trek Beyond is correct.hal Weapon 2. Star Trek Beyond. Star Trek Beyond is correct. Oh, you're so nice to me. Thank you. Alright.
Starting point is 01:14:54 Is it me? I'm going to make a big... You can go to Drew if you want. I have a feeling that it might have been his first role. I know I don't need to give all this preamble and that it might have been the first thing he was in, but was it Avatar? Is he not
Starting point is 01:15:10 the guy in Avatar? The young guy? You can't just go to your lifeline. No, but he was supposed to be, right? And then they recast him. He's not in Avatar. I just want you to make it one more round, so use your lifeline. Lifeline, Drew.
Starting point is 01:15:26 Star Trek into darkness. Well, you can keep doing Star Trek into darkness. I could have done that. Yeah. No, you couldn't have. Who remembers what they're all called? Star Trek into darkness. Correct.
Starting point is 01:15:40 Wait, can I have a question? Who was the guy in Enchanted? It was James... James No the other one Patrick Dempsey Patrick Dempsey and James Marston James Marston James Marston Does he look like Chris Pine
Starting point is 01:15:57 Stop asking the audience questions Does he though It confuses everybody They're both handsome I guess, if you're into that sort of thing. I am. I think they're both excellent actors, too, by the way.
Starting point is 01:16:15 Scoot? Oh, man. Oh, it's Leonard's turn. Sorry, Scoot. Didn't mean to give you... Tommy, I need help. Unnecessary. Into the woods. Oh, great.
Starting point is 01:16:29 Oh, yes. Great answer. Into the woods. Into the woods. Into the woods. Into the woods. Into the woods. Into the woods.
Starting point is 01:16:38 Into the woods. Into the woods. We're going into the woods. That's about as good as the music gets in that. Into the woods. That's about as good as the music gets in that. Into the woods! Okay, we get it. We bought a ticket for it. They sang less about the goddamn
Starting point is 01:16:56 Yellow Brick Road. They had a map. Alright, so... That's where you're going with, Leonard? Into the woods? Alright, good call. Into you're going with Leonard? Into the woods? I'm going with into the woods Alright, good call Into the woods
Starting point is 01:17:07 Scoot Maybe I'll save that one Do you have anything? Okay, here I'll go with my lifeline Greg Lifeline's got you Got you
Starting point is 01:17:20 Charlie's Angels That's right Crisp but we'll go with Charlie's Angels. Charlie's Angels. That's right. Crispin Glover was in Charlie's Angels fighting the ladies. Going at it. What do you think of that, Noelle? I think I'm out. Oh, really?
Starting point is 01:17:41 Yeah. I know all those Crispin Glover movies, but I can't think of a single one of their names. I've seen them. But after you heard Charlie's Angels, does anything come to mind? Charlie's Angels 2. Full title.
Starting point is 01:17:55 Full throttle. That's correct. Is that really? Is that true? No way. That's outrageous. That's the dumbest title. I just thought it was the stupidest name I could think of.
Starting point is 01:18:09 Okay. Okay. All right, Scott. Well, I wish I remembered that snail movie. I'm just going to call Crispin Glover's Home Movies because he did release a film that he made himself I don't think it was
Starting point is 01:18:27 called Home Movies but it was sort of he made it he's done a lot of filmmaking it was like an let's just call it monstrosities and oddities okay so you're out
Starting point is 01:18:37 has the ensuing conversation helped you think of any others Leonard? no no unfortunately it has not Has the ensuing conversation helped you think of any others, Leonard? No. No, unfortunately it has not. All right, Scoot. Low country. Or down country?
Starting point is 01:18:56 Down low country. Yeah. Does anyone have that? I mean, somebody's got to be back-checking these. Down country or low country? I think it's low country. I really need you to just say a correct answer. I'm being serious. Somebody's got to be back-checking these. Down country or low country? I think it's low country. I really need you to just say a correct answer.
Starting point is 01:19:09 I'm being serious. Look at Chris Pine. I really need a winner here. 06, 2006. Think of another one. I can't. No, not get low. Get low was Robert Duvall, right? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Low country or something. I'm sticking with it. Low country for old men? Or it's down country. A little help? Did I win? All right. No, just give me another one.
Starting point is 01:19:34 I don't... Come on, Chris Vine or Crispin Glover? Man, I just don't have one. You've got another one. There's the one with the boat. Oh, right. You know, and it's not the perfect storm, but it's... Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 01:20:36 Thanks, Leonard. I didn't want to lie. I didn't want to bullshit. I could have said, oh, sure. So you're not into the Bond films, per se? I am, but I don't remember him. Oh, okay. There was like two bad guys in that movie that were like,
Starting point is 01:20:51 people liked to insinuate that they were gay. Mr. Mr. Donald Glover? Mr. Kent and Mr. Alright, so. I just heard it might be gay. Scoot is our winner tonight.
Starting point is 01:21:09 Somehow you pulled it out. It might be a fake win. I don't know. The world is topsy-turvy right now, but if you want to come up here on stage and get your prizes, the person that he was playing for, oh you're just be careful stepping over that thing.
Starting point is 01:21:30 Yeah, oh Scott's gonna help you out. There you go. Nicely done. I recommend taking the stairs to go back down. Oh you just want your name tag? You don't want any of the prizes? Yeah, so there's three bags. And, yeah, do you have other plans tonight? Because you're going to be a weird bag man walking around. Walking around Austin.

It's really weird. All these colored lights. Do you see the right colors there? There's no colored lights in there. I can't identify some of them.
Starting point is 01:25:42 And I can't distinguish between some of them. Isn't that interesting? Yeah. No. I like to end the podcast on that kind of thing because then people aren't like, oh, I wish this was going to go longer. They're like, that was the perfect length.
