Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds With 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth There's still not one that he won't see Cause Doug loves movies Hey everybody Hey, everybody. This is exactly not the kind of microphone stand I want for this, but I stood in the wings right over there, and I looked right at it, and I was like,
Starting point is 00:00:41 I didn't even register that it's not the kind of, like, and we even discussed backstage oh this year we got you the mic stand you want and this is absolutely not it's not the kind of mic stand I want I just want to anyway hey everybody my name is Doug and I love movies this is a crowd where many of the people have not listened to the podcast And they're not going to pick up on those cues And they might look around and go, what's happening? And I'm looking around and going, why are there two empty seats in the very front of the theater?
Starting point is 00:01:18 Are there two people with name tags that are hoping to get picked today? That want to just move right up to the front? Yeah, I feel like this is rock and roll when they tell the crowd, just rush the stage. Do you two guys know each other? No, interesting. Just two separate dudes took advantage of the open seats. I couldn't be happier about it. Let me get my script out of the bag. Got a lot to talk about tonight, you guys.
Starting point is 00:01:56 We're coming to you once again, I want to say for the fifth time, maybe sixth, fifth from this film festival, but I think I also did one at the comedy festival one time but anyway we're in Traverse City, Michigan yeah go all the colors I say
Starting point is 00:02:21 it's too many colors to keep track of. And I would like to see at this point in the show your beautiful handcrafted name tags. Look at that, everybody. Are there any in the balcony? Apologize to you in advance for having those seats.
Starting point is 00:02:40 But lots of amazing ones. The Empire Strikes Bach? Your name is Bach? Your last name? I would hope so. That would be a weird one. And what's this Marx Brothers thing? Are you, is your name Marx? Animal Zackers. Instead of Animal Crackers, because his name is Zack. You, me, and Doug B, and you got your face in there. That's pretty cool. Stand up in the aisle and show the entire audience what it looks like. No, yeah, there you go. I like this guy over here changed Chinatown to Peter Town.
Starting point is 00:03:22 You really could have just thrown the word peter on anything the peter strikes back what does that say ingloria ingloria ing laura eos bastards all right well it's curious how many inglorious bastard signs there are here tonight I don't know why you guys did that, but thank you very much for bringing all your name tags and good luck being chosen this evening. The people I'm inviting onto the stage when we get to the game portion of the show will be
Starting point is 00:03:56 selecting the name tag that they want to play for, and they're going to win some fabulous prizes, including what I have here in my bag they gave me when I got here, the Traverse City Film Festival bag. First, I got to do some Doug plugs. Tomorrow night, be sure to check out the comedy panel here at the Traverse City Film Festival. I'll be moderating that with lots of funny people. And that's free to get into i'm pretty sure and then the benson movie
Starting point is 00:04:25 interruption of starship troopers is at midnight at the beautiful state theater and tickets are only 700 a piece so be sure to come out to that uh the star of the movie casper van deen was uh i asked him a couple weeks ago ago to come to this and participate and he was super into it and excited about it and willing to do it and then he got a guest role on Hawaii Five-O.
Starting point is 00:04:55 So he's not going to make it out but we're still going to have fun making fun of his classic movie. This Monday, July 31st Douglas Movies is back at the Gramercy Theater in New York City, and we're back in Los Angeles at Meltdown Comics on Sunday, August 6th at
Starting point is 00:05:11 420. We've got shows coming up in Cincinnati, Columbus, Chicago, San Francisco, and more. For all the dates and deets and links, go to DougLovesMovies.com That's DougLovesMvies.com. That's douglovesmovies.com! Yeah!
Starting point is 00:05:29 That one was better. It's like some of you listened to an episode of the show between when I said none of you listened to it. Some people got up to speed, and they're ready to go. Our good friend Jesse Pasternak is not going to be here this evening because he's dead. No, he is...
Starting point is 00:05:52 That's messed up. He is alive and well and I wanted to give you guys an update on him and why he's not here. He's actually out in Los Angeles and I asked him to write a little message to the audience tonight and the listeners at home because he's been on the last few Traverse City episodes. He says, I'm currently doing rehearsals for my Broadway show,
Starting point is 00:06:18 which is called How to Succeed in Last Man Stanton with Only Sort of Trying. And it's opening across the street from Michael Moore's show. So there's a little Broadway humor for you guys, because he and I both enjoy Broadway. And then he goes, in all seriousness, if I could be serious for a moment, he says that he's working for a management company in L.A. He's interning, and he's reading a lot of scripts,
Starting point is 00:06:49 and that he misses you guys. He's having fun out there, but he also wishes he were here seeing all of his friends in Traverse City. And then at the end he said, Eat lots of pie for me. So that's Jesse Pasternak. Hopefully he'll stop with his interning nonsense and come back next year and be on this show.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Being on this show is better than being an intern. My opinion. Let's look at the prize bag. It's the lovely bag, as I mentioned. Traverse City's very into recycling and stuff, and these cloth bags are very nice for bringing small items home from the store
Starting point is 00:07:31 and not using plastic. But I brought, to give away tonight, a copy of Traverse City magazine. Because if I take it with me and I read it when I get home I'll just get sad I'll miss the place so much that I'll just be like I should have left it there uh these are these are a uh a story that's been told a few times at this festival uh these are some uh things they give you and your talent here at the festival. Cherry chews
Starting point is 00:08:06 from the dog bakery. And they're doggy treats, but they have icing on them, which I don't think a dog is going to spit it out if it doesn't have icing on it. But that's just my excuse for the first time I was
Starting point is 00:08:22 here, maybe even the second time I ate all of them. And honestly, I didn't think they were great, but they were all right. They were worth eating all of them, and Jeff Tate did the same thing, so I'm just giving them away this time so I don't risk coming back to my room and eating them.
Starting point is 00:08:42 A copy of one of my CDs, Promotional Tool. There's a movie playing this week here at this festival called Mr. Roosevelt that I'm lucky enough to be a small part of, and it's the writer and director and star of that movie, Noelle Wells. She made a little comic book about the movie to promote it that she was giving out to people, and I got a hold of a few, that she was giving out to people. And
Starting point is 00:09:05 I got a hold of a few, so I'm giving one to you guys tonight. A blue card from my show Getting Doug with High. Oh, this is neat. One free week of whatever they do at Yen Yoga and Fitness. So, you know, if you live around here and you win that, good for you. I've got other things to do besides yoga and fitness while I'm here, because it turns out this city is showing a lot of movies, and they have alcohol. Also, here's a slice of pie. They used to put the pie in the bag,
Starting point is 00:09:44 but I guess now we just want people to come over and get one. And what's the place that gives them away? The Pie Company. Traverse City Pie Company, is that what it's called? All right. Here's a Peacemaker pipe that's only been used once. And, oh, this is another cool thing they give you. It's like a Swiss Army knife that's got the name of some company on it.
Starting point is 00:10:04 And some local merchant. Oh, and another coupon. This is for 20% off your next purchase at Eat Sparks Barbecue. Or Sparks Barbecue? But their website
Starting point is 00:10:19 is eatsparksbarbecue.com Alright, so I brought all that stuff. All my guests brought something, and they're going to contribute it to the bag when I bring them out here right now. Three regular guests on Doug Loves Movies that a lot of you have figured out exactly who's going to be here,
Starting point is 00:10:37 but let's still give them a big warm welcome. It's Sean Jordan, Leonard Maltin, and Sam the Ma'am Levine, a.k.a. Lil Wolverine. I don't know what that was. Oh. Oh, God, no! Oh! Those of you listening at home...
Starting point is 00:11:25 I wish the audience at home could have shared that experience. That was exceptional. Doug being so considerate... I was trying to help out Leonard and move a table over so he could put his drink on the table so that it would go all the way to the floor like these other animals will have to do. And I did make a big mess.
Starting point is 00:11:45 So, anyway. Compared to what it could have been. Right, I caught it, sort of. Yeah, it looked great. It was a good save. Yeah, thank you very much. Let's meet my guests individually, starting with the man with water on a table.
Starting point is 00:12:02 It's Leonard Maltin, everybody. Hi, everybody. on a table it's Leonard Maltin everybody now that that is a metaphor isn't it water on the table or is that just literally I don't know I think you have water on the table as do I and I'm gonna enjoy mine as well and And how are you doing? This is your... How many times have you been to Traverse City?
Starting point is 00:12:28 This is my very first visit to Traverse City. No way. And to the film festival. I see you at festivals so it feels like I've seen you at this one. I know, but...
Starting point is 00:12:38 But this is your first time. There's other ones. And this is my first time I'm here with my family. My wife Alice, my daughter Jessie. My wife! We're having a great time meeting a lot of great people
Starting point is 00:12:50 and the weather's been gorgeous, especially today. It's got all the right ingredients for a good film festival. Yeah, I think you're going to have a very nice time here and you've got some of your own events coming up this week? Yeah, several. I'm going to be, we're going to be doing, Jesse and I are going to be doing our podcast, Maltin on Movies, Sunday morning, bright and early. What, that's like 9.30 a.m.?
Starting point is 00:13:16 I'm afraid it is, yes. Yeah, yeah. So I'll see you later that day, probably. And then I'm interviewing the Alloy Orchestra that afternoon. Oh, that's probably. Exactly. And then I'm interviewing the Alloy Orchestra that afternoon. Oh, that's neat. Three great guys from Boston
Starting point is 00:13:29 who play incredible music for silent films. In this case, Harold Lloyd's comedy Speedy. Yeah, I got my ticket
Starting point is 00:13:38 for that one. I'm very excited to see that. Very much looking forward to that. And I think that they've given me kind of a light schedule, which is fine with me.
Starting point is 00:13:47 That's good. You can see some films. Is there a film that you're particularly looking forward to seeing here? Well, I want to see the documentary about Gilbert Gottfried, which these guys just saw. I just saw it and then ran over here for this, and
Starting point is 00:14:03 the film was a treat. And Gilbert Gottfried was a treat because he was there in person with his wife. And they talked after the film. And it was a terrific experience. I think it plays again tomorrow. Yeah. At several other shows. And that's directed by Neil Berkley, who's done a lot of other good work, too.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Including a wonderful documentary called Beauty is Embarrassing about the artist Wayne White. And if you don't know Wayne White, and you do remember Pee-wee's Playhouse, then you've seen Wayne White's work. That's just his most visible work, I guess, his most celebrated work. But he is something of a genius, I think. Yeah, the movie's a lot about his painting and his artwork, but he also did design the Pee Wee Herman set.
Starting point is 00:14:48 So that's sort of his claim to fame. Yeah, that's a cool movie. And same director, Neil Berkley, did this documentary about Gilbert Gottfried, and he really followed Gilbert around for a while. And his offstage persona's different from his onstage one, so it's a fascinating documentary. Yep, yep.
Starting point is 00:15:06 And there are a couple of other films that have been, well, one of them opens theatrically tomorrow, I guess, which is Detroit. Closing night film here, but I hadn't seen it yet. So I may have the opportunity to see it here. Seeing it here in the beautiful State Theater. It's one of the best theaters in the,
Starting point is 00:15:22 I say, in the world. Yeah. Yeah. So it's, of the best theaters, I say, in the world. Yeah. So it's, you know, and then probably some surprises. I find I get more adventurous at film festivals than I am at home. All right. If I'm at a film festival and I'm out of town and I'm not, you know, at home doing my everyday things and there's a Bulgarian movie that somebody says, this is really great,
Starting point is 00:15:46 you've got to see it. I'll go. Whereas at home, I'll say, do I really want to drive a half hour in the rain to see this Bulgarian movie? That's a problem in Los Angeles, driving in the rain. That's never happened to anybody. That's not a thing.
Starting point is 00:16:01 It has to be raining. There has to be a popular Bulgarian film. It could happen. It could not a thing. It has to be raining. There has to be a popular Bulgarian film. It could happen. It could happen, Sean. It could. I agree. Well, that's one of the cool things about this festival is that they're showing films. They have like a sidebar of, I think,
Starting point is 00:16:18 seven different movies that are all from countries that are on Trump's Muslim ban. And I'm not joking. Sounds like it should be hilarious. But it's countries that are on Trump's Muslim ban. And I'm not joking. That's real. Sounds like it should be hilarious. But it's really cool. But the filmmakers that are involved in those films, of course, can't be here to show them.
Starting point is 00:16:34 So it's a bittersweet situation. What do you have for the prize bag, Mr. Walton? Well, I have, no shock to anybody who listens to your show, a copy, and you get another copy, of my classic movie guide. I love it. Classic movie guide. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Woo!
Starting point is 00:16:55 More than 10,000 movies are in this book. Prior to 1965. Yeah. And from the silent movie era up to the 60s. Yeah. Suck the silent movie era up to the 60s. Yeah. Suck on this, millennials. And then I have these buttons that my daughter has made up
Starting point is 00:17:12 of me in my celebrated appearance on South Park some years ago. Yeah, you got to run with that image. Both me as myself and me as the robotic Leonard. Okay. The evil robot Leonard?
Starting point is 00:17:27 Well, I'm fighting the Mecha Streisand in that episode. Oh, okay. And it's more than 20 years old, but it's still in their rotation. They still show it. I can't imagine an evil anything Leonard Mullen. They all seem like sweethearts. That's very benign and very sweet of you. Thank you, Sean.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Benign and sweet feel like two different things. It like very sweet, but it's mostly benign. Benign hurt my feelings, but sweet was cool, so I'm excited about it. Alright, let's say hello to our next panelist, the fellow on the opposite end from me. It's Sam Levine, everybody.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Hello! Hello, Traverse City. Lil Logan is here. That's me. Under a cloud of controversy. The clouds have parted here at Traverse City. I did not feel good
Starting point is 00:18:19 about that win in San Diego. He did not have a comfortable win on the last show so he flew all the way here to have a better win. Well. Or at least a fairer one.
Starting point is 00:18:29 It was a tricky decision on my part, and I don't know if I made the right one, but you're our standing champion at this point. That's true. That's all that really matters. That's all that really matters, and we'll see how you do tonight. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:18:42 It's always an honor to lose to Mr. Leonard Walton himself. Well, that doesn't happen, though. Yeah, but it could. There's also somebody sitting in between you and Leonard. It wouldn't be an honor to lose to me all of a sudden. What a dickhead. What do you got for the bag, Sam? Oh, well, as some of you may or may not recall,
Starting point is 00:19:04 it's high times for TV screeners at my place. So I got actually some good ones. A show called Happen Leonard, which, okay, judging by the applause, none of you have seen it. And whoever wins this, I actually recommend you watch it. You're going to be pleasantly surprised.
Starting point is 00:19:21 It's the entire first season of Happen Leonard. Also, based on the Stephen King season of Happen Leonard. Also, based on the Stephen King novel and from producer J.J. Abrams, it's 11-22-63. The Hulu miniseries starring some guy named James Franco. I hope that guy turns out okay. Are you making these things up?
Starting point is 00:19:40 No, these are real things. These are real things that people make? Pulling out of my bag here. Also from Hulu, it's the Jason Reitman production of Casual, starring Michaela Watkins and
Starting point is 00:19:54 two other actors I'm not familiar with, but I'm told it's wonderful. And last but not least, something your parents will enjoy the next time you visit them and they're like, you never bring us any gifts. You can say, Mom, don't be ridiculous. I brought you all of last season of The Crown.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Oh. All but one disc of the last season. All but one disc. You don't get to know how it ends because it's scratched. Don't worry, Mom. I'm sure we can look it up online. I blame the people at Netflix
Starting point is 00:20:26 for this shoddy construction. I think you were just dug in like a tick to the crown last night and you didn't put them back in the right way. Alright, so some of the crown. Alright, Sam, why don't you gather all this stuff off the ground and bring me all of your offerings.
Starting point is 00:20:44 Will do. Terrific job as usual me all of your offerings will do a terrific job as usual bringing you bringing all of that stuff also with a plastic bag joining us tonight his his first time in Traverse City it's Shawn Jordan hell yeah I love it here yeah you're having a good time I'm having a really Hell yeah. I love it here. Yeah, you're having a good time, aren't you? I'm having a really good time. You got a haircut today.
Starting point is 00:21:11 What up? Boy, I got a haircut. I looked like a fucking monster before this, and now I look, you know, like less of a monster. And you got some wedding clothes today? No, we didn't. We didn't go shopping. What?
Starting point is 00:21:24 I wanted to chill before this, so... You ran out of time? We didn't go shopping. What? I wanted to chill before this, so... You ran out of time? We didn't run out of time necessarily, but I'm just We can talk about this later. I'm going to hit up Kelly Jordan.
Starting point is 00:21:32 She'll get me a wedding shirt. I have to go to a wedding on Saturday. Hilarious, right? Isn't that funny? It's kind of fun that you have to go shopping in Traverse City
Starting point is 00:21:41 because you have nothing you could have worn to a wedding. I've been on the road for a couple weeks and it's like T-shirts and a sweater, you know? Thank you, Sam. That ain't gonna do it. Excuse me?
Starting point is 00:21:56 I think she should pass it. I don't think they were saying anything that involves us. Oh. It's just people chatting in the crowd. That was a loud chat. Yeah. But I'm glad you're having a good experience here so far and uh what is that one of the things you did instead of shopping for yourself is shopping for the gift bag that's exactly what i got for the prize bag i took the time i have uh i shopped in my swag bag and i I brought this sparkling wine, I believe.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Sort of a Traverse City commemorative situation. You could christen a small boat with that. You could. Maybe you'd christen a jet ski with this, I think. And I brought some dog treats, like my friend. Oh, boy, doubling up on dog treats. And if you guys just know someone with a dog, you could go ahead. You're really going to go nuts with that.
Starting point is 00:22:46 And then I brought some Sour Patch Kids because they're the best thing to eat while you're watching a movie. Who said yeah? Goddamn right, Playboy. You said it. And then a $15 iTunes gift card. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:22:58 You need to purchase. Now we're talking. Yeah. Doesn't take a lot to impress Traverse City. I could have bought two of these. What's up? It really is funny that a $15 iTunes gift card got the biggest reaction of anything.
Starting point is 00:23:14 I mean, it's the entire season of The Crown, you guys. Thank you, Doug. It's most of the first season of The Crown. And also a book written by somebody on the panel. That's astonishing. Can't go down to CVS and buy a book that by somebody on the panel. That's astonishing. Can't go down to CVS and buy a book that I wrote.
Starting point is 00:23:28 You know what I mean? Not yet. I appreciate the confidence. Now I don't feel benign anymore. There it is. So all of that is going to be
Starting point is 00:23:37 somebody's burden because it is very heavy and has glass and alcohol in it. But somebody's going to win all of that tonight. You know what I wish I could have brought, but it was too squishy. Heroin. To survive.
Starting point is 00:23:53 No. No. Is heroin squishy? I don't think so. I have no personal experience. But there's a bakery and coffee house here in town called Morsel's. But there's a bakery and coffee house here in town called Morsel's that has done a series of special cakes and goodies named after guests at this year's festival. And they have created something called the Leonard Malted. Malted.
Starting point is 00:24:18 Which is, yes, little chocolate cake balls with milk chocolate frosting and crushed malts, like Whoppers. Yeah, something like that. Leonard, I love your chocolate cake balls. You had to go there. You had to go there. No, I'm going to go there.
Starting point is 00:24:39 You took us there. You were taking us on a walk. We were going to jump off the dock. You know what I mean? You took us there. You were taking us on a walk. We were going to jump off the dock. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:24:50 Did you see any other examples of food named after people? Yes. I can't remember any of them. But if you drop by Morsel's or go online to look them up, you will find them. Oh, they have it on their website? If they don't have a Doe Benson. No? I'd be all right with that.
Starting point is 00:25:07 I'm groaning for it. That was hilarious. Thank you. There's zero reason to groan at that. It was perfect. Yeah, it was perfect. I appreciate it, Sean. We like each other now, but wait till we start playing.
Starting point is 00:25:17 So, Doug, you apparently didn't get the beard memo tonight. No, I was like, I'm going to let my guest shine in the beard department and I'm going to be beardless. But with facial hair, though. Yeah, I'm not good at shaving. Which is funny that one of our sponsors of the show tonight is Harry's Shave Club.
Starting point is 00:25:38 For only... Just launch into an app. I just look right over Harry. What the fuck? Harry's Shave Club. But I have a few questions Before we get to the Game portion of the show As I always do
Starting point is 00:25:52 And Sam Having been on the most recent shows Probably the one that's Most prepped for these questions Maybe thought about them a little bit I've got some answers Ready to go Nine inches. Which question
Starting point is 00:26:05 would you like me to start with? Why don't you ask me to recommend a movie that I think you will love that you have not seen? Okay, this is a great one. I asked my guest what's the best movie Doug Benson has never seen? You don't know what I've seen. I don't know what
Starting point is 00:26:21 you've seen, but I'm going to take a shot. You've not seen this film because it's from the 70s. And it's a film called California Split. Sam, you and I have played poker together. Yep. We're both big James Caan fans. I call it Jimmy. I was just trying to ramp up to, I've seen it.
Starting point is 00:26:45 James Caan, I don't believe, is in that. Oh, he's not in that one? No, that's Elliot Gould. Oh, Elliot Gould. George Segal. But James Caan is in The Gambler. Yes. Yes, which is another.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Both of those movies are about a person with a real fucked up gambling problem. Yes. That is exactly what they're about. That's why I confuse them. I understand. But now I have to California split. Yes, you do. And then I drop the mic and walk out. I've. But now I have to California split. Yes, you do. And then I drop the mic and walk out.

Starting point is 00:29:19 So you have to go to the back of the video store to get this one? Yes. Yes. You have to back of the video store to get this one? Yes. Yes. You have to tunnel under the video store. What is Employee's Entrance? It's a pre-code.
Starting point is 00:29:36 You know about those pre-1934 movies from Warner Brothers. Very racy, very raw, funny, fast. Stars Warren William, who's in a lot of those movies, who's a suave leading man, kind of the poor man's John Barrymore, and a beautiful Loretta Young, and it's about a lascivious boss at a department store,
Starting point is 00:29:58 and it's really good. And I showed it the year before last at the Virginia Film Festival. The Library of Congress loaned us their 35 millimeter print and it played like gangbusters. The audience really ate it up.
Starting point is 00:30:10 And how else could we see it? It's on DVD. It's on... I want people to be able to see this instead of just you bringing up some movie nobody can access.
Starting point is 00:30:21 That sounds tricky. It's part of the... Call the Library of Congress. Book a tour. It shows up on TCM. So it might be on their app. Turner Classic Movies. Turner Classic Movies.
Starting point is 00:30:34 And if it's not on their app, then it is available as part of the DVD series called Forbidden Hollywood. All right. And Employee's Entrance. It's not the catchiest title, but sounds like a fascinating film.
Starting point is 00:30:48 Judge it after you see the film. Okay. That's another good question I should bring up to people. What's the movie that has a title that you hate,
Starting point is 00:30:56 but you like the movie? Mine has to be Larry Crown. No, I don't like Larry Crown. But I also don't like that title. All right, so my follow-up question, and this is since we're at a film festival,
Starting point is 00:31:12 I would like it to be something that you've seen at the festival, if you have already seen anything. Starting with Sam, what was the last movie you saw? Well, Doug, you were there. We literally just watched Gilbert right before doing this show. And you liked it?
Starting point is 00:31:29 I enjoyed it thoroughly. Not to brag or nothing, guys, but I know Gilbert and his wife, Dara, and they are wonderful people
Starting point is 00:31:36 and this is an incredibly sweet, touching documentary about the two of them and their relationship and Gilbert and his career and if you're even familiar with who Gilbert is, you should check documentary about the two of them and their relationship and Gilbert and his career. And
Starting point is 00:31:45 if you're even familiar with who Gilbert is, you should check this movie out when you can. Yeah, even if you're not. I think it'd be a fun exposure to him in general. Yeah. If you just watched it, if you weren't familiar with him, but people are familiar with him because everybody's heard that goddamn Affleck duck. Damn right. And also it is screamingly funny. He tells, there's a lot of jokes.
Starting point is 00:32:08 It's a lot of filthy humor, too. Very dirty. It is the sweetest filthy movie I've seen. Yeah. It really is an interesting experience. Sean?
Starting point is 00:32:20 I saw Paris Can Wait the other day and I thought it was fantastic. I'm a big romantic comedy guy, so I was super into it. Nobody gives a fuck. I open my soul. I open my soul.
Starting point is 00:32:34 I say I'm a big romantic comedy fan. It's all about drinking wine. Tell us about the movie. I was just staring at you because I was wanting to hear more. Diane Lane, Alec Baldwin, and a fetching French gentleman. I forget his name, but he was fantastic.
Starting point is 00:32:49 It's not the guy from The Artist, is it? No. Okay. It's not Jean-Jean Jean-Jean? Jean-Jean Jean-Jean. Yeah, Alec Baldwin's a producer, and his wife goes from, I think, Barcelona to Paris on a road trip with this French dude that Alec Baldwin works with
Starting point is 00:33:08 because he has to go to Budapest, I think, for some sort of filming situation. That was crazy. Yeah, anyway, they just take a long romantic road trip up the coast and she's debating if she's going to fuck this dude the whole time or not. All right, you've said enough. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:24 Go see if she fucks him, I guess. It's a charming film. Yeah, we don't need to. You've seen it, Leonard? Oh, it's a charming film. And it was made by... That's how I was supposed to say it. And it was made by Eleanor Coppola, Francis Ford Coppola's wife.
Starting point is 00:33:41 True story. She's 80 years old. Whoa. This is her firstpola's wife. True story. She's 80 years old. Whoa. This is her first film. Damn. She made a great documentary about the making of Apocalypse Now some years ago.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Yeah. But she hasn't made a film since and she's never made a dramatic film before. So she's the Grandma Moses of the Will They or Won't They Fuck movies? Well,
Starting point is 00:33:59 you said that. I did say that. And I hope, and I hope that they print that quote on the back of the DVD. I really do. That's what they sometimes call a money quote, but I don't know that this one is really worth it. You know what's going to be weird is I'm going to tell people that you said that.
Starting point is 00:34:21 It pays your money, it takes your chances. All right, Leonard, are you ready to answer that question? Well, not easily, because we just came from, my family and I just came from a two-week adventure at a film festival in the Czech Republic. Whoa. The Karlovy Vary Film Festival, which has been going since 1946.
Starting point is 00:34:43 And it's a very old and established film festival. And we saw a lot of interesting movies there that probably will never play here, from Russia, from France, from Israel, from a variety of countries. And all really worthwhile. But I don't know how many of them will get a shot here at U.S. Distribution. Did you see some stuff that would be come over here? Was it all just... What's funny is there's one film that's an Israeli-German
Starting point is 00:35:14 co-production. And believe it or not... Not expected. That sounds tense. The filmmakers were there. It was its premiere showing. The filmmakers were there. It was its premiere showing. The filmmakers were there. The leading cast members were there.
Starting point is 00:35:30 And the audience just adored it and gave it a lengthy standing ovation. The kind you read about it from the Cannes Film Festival where they applaud for like five minutes straight. And Allison and I hated it. Were you guys just putting your hand between people's hands like with a glove on so they couldn't applaud?
Starting point is 00:35:49 It didn't work. It didn't work. And, uh, but if it's a crowd pleaser, perhaps it'll get, you know, make some waves and make its way over here. Do you know what it's called? I used to. Before you hated it.
Starting point is 00:36:07 That's reasonable. The Cake Maker. Thank you, honey. It's called The Cake Maker. Oh, that guy that has to go in the employee's entrance? Hey, the Cake Maker's here.
Starting point is 00:36:24 Alright. So, yeah. Not a lot to recommend to people, at least not currently. I mean, Gilbert will probably show up somewhere sometime soon. Oh, I hope so, yeah. And Eleanor Coppola's movie, Paris Can Wait, is in release already. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:36:40 Yep. Feels like a Woody Allen movie to me. The title and the cast and everything. That's exactly, it's a lot like a Woody Allen movie, which I'm stoked about. It was great. Yep. Highly recommend. It's like a Woody Allen movie to me. The title and the cast and everything. That's exactly. It's a lot like a Woody Allen movie, which I'm stoked about. It was great. Yep. All right.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Fair enough. It's all about drinking and eating. I love both those things. I saw on day one here, I saw I, Daniel Blake. You seen that one? It's the new Ken Loach. Yeah. And it is just a gut punch.
Starting point is 00:37:05 It is so devastating. It's a fascinating Ken Loach. Yeah, and it is just a gut punch. It is so devastating. It's a fascinating movie, great characters, really interesting, and then at the end you're just like, I can't even. And then the next day, what I see the next day, I saw parts of Reservoir Dogs, part of it. But no, I saw all of something in the afternoon. Oh, it was called Quest. And this was a documentarian,
Starting point is 00:37:31 or a guy that became a documentarian in the process, because he started off as a photographer just doing an art project. He followed this one family with cameras in North Philadelphia for eight years. And some stuff, this family goes through some stuff, and it's real, again, like, it was just crazy emotional. So, like, every time a movie ends here,
Starting point is 00:37:51 because also, I found Gilbert emotional for a lot of reasons. Sure. And every time a movie ends here, I'm just, like, wiping tears off of my face. So I was hoping one of you guys would recommend something that wouldn't make me want to kill myself. Paris can wait, my friend. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:09 I mean, if she decides not to fuck him, I will kill myself. I don't want to wreck anything. That story seems like it could go bad for me. I think you have a promising double feature in Paris Can Wait and Employee's Entrance Act. Yeah, that sounds like a real fun day for me. All right, this is the part where I tell Bert Kreischer to turn the show off
Starting point is 00:38:31 because I'm about to say, let the games begin. Gentlemen, we've got a lot of great name tags in the audience. I didn't see Matt Roosevelt. That's a cool one. So we need each of you to go select who you'd like to play for by just taking the name tag from them. There's a lot of inglorious bastards out there, Sam. There is an insane amount of inglorious bastards.

Starting with Leonard, you went with Marx Brothers. I went with the Marx Brothers, tried
Starting point is 00:40:18 and true, in animal zackers, as opposed to animal crackers. And the faces have been distorted, let's say, creatively. Yeah, so Sam is, which one is he? Sam is Groucho.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Yeah. Damn right. And Harpo is Leonard. I'm Harpo. Chico is me. Yep. And of course, Sean is Zeppo. It makes perfect sense. Zeppo, the coolest person?. Is Zeppo the coolest person? Yep, he's the coolest one. He's the most famous of all the Marx Brothers.
Starting point is 00:40:50 People turn on Marx Brothers movie going, I can't wait to hear what Zeppo's got to say. I'm starting to feel kind of benign again. I would think Sean's more of a gummo. Thank you, Leonard. I don't like what's happening up here with my friends. What are you wearing, Sean? Did you pick out something for the wedding on Saturday?
Starting point is 00:41:14 He would be stoked. His wife would fucking be furious if I wore this. This is, and I'm noticing, yeah, I'm wearing the name tag. I'm thrilled about it. Brad Santa. And I'm sure, I don't yeah, I'm wearing the name tag. I'm thrilled about it. Brad Santa. And I'm sure, I don't know, I'll tweet a picture out because it's dope. It's the first name tag that I've ever been able to wear. So I'm excited about it.
Starting point is 00:41:34 And it wasn't supposed to be the sweater, but Brad Santa was cool enough to make the name tag the sweater. So, yeah, I picked it. Wait. Brad was just wearing the sweater? Well I mean I think it went You insisted on taking his clothing? I go I was like listen dickhead give me your sweatshirt
Starting point is 00:41:54 I have a wedding to go to on Saturday If we can make a trade Then yes I'll pick your name tag So you know here we go I would be so happy if you wore that to the wedding I got all G'd up over here And my jeans with the hole in the crotch I'll pick your name tag. So, you know, here we go. I would be so happy if you wore that to the wedding. I got all G'd up over here and my jeans with the hole in the crotch. I can wear those.
Starting point is 00:42:09 But I think we should give it back to Brad because the bars don't let people in shirtless around here. Oh, no, I wouldn't dare do that. He's got another shirt on. Oh, okay, he's got another shirt. Yeah, that'd be crazy. You thought that I was going to make Brad
Starting point is 00:42:18 sit there with no shirt on? I just kept looking over at Brad and I don't know if you'll find this offensive or not, but I was just wondering why Weird Al Yankovic was at the show. He's a friend of mine. He could be up here. But good job, Brad.
Starting point is 00:42:32 What do you got, Sam? So this was very difficult for me because a lot of you made a lot of Inglourious Bastards posters. There was even a drones poster over there. Shout out to you. That was awesome. But Laura went really next level,
Starting point is 00:42:46 and she took a production still of me from the film as opposed to just Photoshopping my face onto Brad Pitt. That's so sick. And she's inglorious. Inglorious bastard. Yeah, we discussed that at the beginning of the show. That one caught my eye. Indeed.
Starting point is 00:43:04 And a slight point deduction for calling me Sam the man. I'm the ma'am. Please. But a.k.a. Lil Wolverine. And that's the toughest I've ever looked in any photo I've ever taken. You look tough in that photo? I'm holding a gun, man. Hey, don't listen to him.
Starting point is 00:43:26 Yeah, but the face doesn't say tough at all. Yeah, that guy thinks you're 12. I was 12 in this. Definitely not 26. All right, well, great job, everybody. And good luck to the people who were chosen. I have no idea how we're doing on time, so I'm going to glance at it.
Starting point is 00:43:48 Oh, well, that's not too bad. We got several games that I'd like you gentlemen to play, starting with a little something that I call Characters Welcome. And this is a game that one or two people in the audience love. And I am going to name characters played by a particular actor or actress. And the first one to guess who that is is the winner of the game.
Starting point is 00:44:15 Sounds good. Yeah, you can guess as often as you'd like. And I'll even take a pre-guess if you want to do one right now. Bruce Willis. No and no. Leonard, do you have a pre-guess? if you want to do one right now. Bruce Willis. No and no. Leonard, do you have a pre-guess? Robert Crawford. Nope. I mean, wildly different.
Starting point is 00:44:35 We don't have to say our name. We just guess, right? Yeah, just say it as often as you like. Just say it out. Who played these parts? Tim. Who played these parts? Tim Played a character named Tim Bruce
Starting point is 00:44:51 Is that me, Doug? Sheldon Yeah, that's me Dirk Spanky Yeah Ha ha ha Ha ha ha
Starting point is 00:45:01 I'm just kidding It's Sam Levine Let's play this game for real There were no last names there. That was Tim Steinberg. Thank you. Bruce had no last name. All right. Well, some of these are full names
Starting point is 00:45:14 for the real person. All right. Here we go. This is the real game. I was just having fun. Thank God. What did you play Dirk in? Club Dread. Oh, okay. Tight.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Who played Private Roy Loomis? How about, and this is just for the people on stage, by the way, how about Captain Hank Wilson? Or Charlie Bubber Reeves? Paul Bratter? Paul Bratter? A character called Dorfmunder? Vin Diesel? Nope.
Starting point is 00:46:07 All right. Is there an actor named... What the hell are you talking about? Gary Cooper. Bill McKay. James Stewart. Nope. Johnny Hooker.
Starting point is 00:46:26 Val Kilmer. Oh, my Hooker. Val Kilmer. Oh, my God. Not Val Kilmer. This actor also played Jay Gatsby. Leonardo DiCaprio. No. Robert Redford.
Starting point is 00:46:37 That is correct. It's Robert Redford. Next, I was going to say the Sundance Kid And then Bob Woodward No idea he was in so many war pictures Yeah those movies were All the ones I was saying before
Starting point is 00:46:55 Were from the 60s and 70s That's why Sean was so confused But Sam won that game So that means he gets to go first In our next game called Whose Tagline Is It Anyway? And yes, more
Starting point is 00:47:12 people are into that game. This is a game where I'm going to say a tagline from a motion picture, and this is one at a time. You get to guess on these. So we'll start with Sam, and then we'll go to Sean and then Leonard. And if the person in front of you doesn't get it, then you get a shot on these. So we'll start with Sam and then we'll go to Sean and then Leonard. And if the person in front of you doesn't get it
Starting point is 00:47:28 then you get a shot at it. So only guess when asked to guess. Sam. Yes, sir. What movie has the tagline The Ocean is Calling? The Ocean is Calling. The ocean is calling The big blue
Starting point is 00:47:52 No Alright Not a bad guess Thank you very much Not a correct guess But not a bad one Sean The ocean is calling
Starting point is 00:48:04 Blue crush Now Somebody scoff But not a bad one. Sean? The ocean is calling. Blue Crush? No. Somebody scoffed. Are you just saying blue because Sam said it? Completely different movie. Leonard, do you have any idea? The ocean is calling. The deep?
Starting point is 00:48:20 Oh, that's another good guess. In all three of those cases, if the ocean was calling me, I would let it go to voicemail. But the correct answer is Moana. Moana. My favorite film. Yeah, Moana. It's playing in the free space here this Sunday night. The open space.
Starting point is 00:48:44 It's free to the public and it's great watching movies out of doors. Sam? Yes, sir. Here's a new one for you. Okay. What movie has a tagline, Here's to the fools who dream?
Starting point is 00:48:55 A little film called La La Land? That's right. And it's played last night at the Open Space. Those were wildly dipped. One of those was easy Alright Sean you gotta go first on this next one I wanted the easy one He was a cool customer
Starting point is 00:49:20 Until the law made it hot for him I think up until now I've had a failure to communicate So I'm gonna say Cool Hand Luke until the law made it hot for him. I think up until now, I've had a failure to communicate, so I'm going to say Cool Hand Luke. Cool Hand Luke is correct. Playing here at the Traverse City Film Festival this Sunday. Got a theme. Let's see what Leonard does with this one.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Bob's a special kind of friend. The kind that drives you crazy. As in? What about Bob? What about Bob? We have a three-way tie. I would never say that you look like Dr. Leo Marvin under any other circumstances, but I'm going to say it right now.
Starting point is 00:50:06 Okay. All right. I can live with that. Yeah, yeah. What does that mean? What? He told him he looks like Dr. Leo Marvin. Yeah, the Richard Dreyfuss character, right?
Starting point is 00:50:18 Yeah. Yeah. Okay. All right. I'm on board with it, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. Just say that to every person you see
Starting point is 00:50:23 with white hair and a beard. Well, he is a miracle worker. Leonard Maltin, I mean. I got nothing. I got nothing. Rubbing his face, goddammit. Yeah, nothing. All right.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Leonard even told you that got nothing without even saying it into his microphone. It's true. He's got the microphone down by his knee. He doesn't even need the listeners to hear him burning you. He just quietly burns you. Fine, he's not a miracle worker, whatever.
Starting point is 00:50:55 You guys don't know our relationship. All right, so to settle the tie on this one, all of you, your buzzers are open, unlocked. All right. Everybody just guess as soon as you think you know it. Reservoir Dogs. Did I allow for pre-guessing? You're out. Okay.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Oh! Hell yeah. I gotta give Sean and Leonard a chance tonight, you guys. Any chance to knock Sam out? Okay, between you two. You're serious. He's out.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Yeah, he's out. Put my microphone down. Say it. The story of a man who could only count to number one. Infinity Baby. Is that like if you wished... I don't know. If you wished Baby Driver would never end? Infinity Baby Driver?
Starting point is 00:52:04 There's a movie here at the festival called Infinity Baby. That's not the correct answer. Leonard, do you have any idea? None. All right, Sam. Reservoir Dogs. I have no idea. You really don't know?
Starting point is 00:52:17 No, no, no. That's interesting. Yeah, so the people in the audience know. Mr. Roosevelt? Somebody in the audience just said Shake and Bake. Oh, there it is. Oh, Talladega Nights. Oh, yeah. So the people in the audience know. Mr. Roosevelt? Somebody in the audience just said shake and bake. Oh, there it is. Oh, Talladega Nights. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:52:30 You could have held that up and not said anything and nobody would have gone mad. You wouldn't have been cheating. You would have been like... Hey, I was waiting for that. Settle down. Talladega Nights, the Ballad of Ricky Bobby. There you go.
Starting point is 00:52:40 Are you guys competing with each other or just hanging out? What's going on? Well, I was out of the game. I didn't think me saying it would matter. I thought I got it when I said Tell It Again Nights. I forgot about the full time. No, I brought you back in, Sam, when these two fellas were drawn
Starting point is 00:52:54 blanks. Sean was almost going to go see that movie the other night. I was? It's true. Yeah. Because it played out the outdoor space as well. So that was the theme of all of those. It rained. I don't know why I didn't go see it. We did something else.
Starting point is 00:53:14 We already seen Talladega Night. I said we were at the opening night party. Yeah, yeah. I got hammered. What do you do? All right, you guys. I want you guys to just really dig in and compete. I'm here.
Starting point is 00:53:26 I'm ready. No shit, you're here. Let's do it. You guys are fucking dead. You're like, just look at everybody's posture. Sam is ready to go. No, no, I'm putting on... I'm playing.
Starting point is 00:53:34 I'm putting on my game face. Leonard is just chilling and... No, I'm putting on my game face right now. Sean's just getting drunk. I'm not. Sean looks like he just needs to get a new cab, leave the Christmas party. I do look like that. I'm going to give looks like he just needs to get in a cab, leave the Christmas party. I do look like that.
Starting point is 00:53:47 I'm going to give you that. I do. That's exactly what I look like. Yep. Susan's not having it, man. I got to go. I got to go. She's still married.
Starting point is 00:53:55 You know, take me home. Monday's going to be a bummer. Like if I were leaving the Christmas party, you know. And I've been trying to fuck Susan for like a year. People are really being cheated by not being able to see this Christmas sweater. This is an outstanding Christmas sweater. They'll see it. I'll tweet it. It is pretty dank. I'm really feeling it.
Starting point is 00:54:12 I don't know why the house lights just got brighter. Someone in the theater thought Leonard means the audience members are being cheated. No, no, no, no, no. By not being able to see it. The listeners. Exactly. The listeners are... They'll get an eyeful of it, though. We not being able to see it. The listeners. Yeah, exactly. The listeners are, they'll get an eye
Starting point is 00:54:26 full of it though. We'll make sure we get a picture of it. Am I having a stroke? It just got really bright then very dim in here. That's what we were talking about.
Starting point is 00:54:34 All of that is true. You might be having a stroke because you missed that part of the conversation that we were just having. Okay. We just, just brought that up.
Starting point is 00:54:41 Learn to spot the warning signs, people. Wait, did I miss the last 30 seconds of what everybody with a microphone said? Am I going deaf from a stroke? I believe that I am. Brad Santa's a doctor. Maybe he could help out.
Starting point is 00:54:58 What kind of doctor? Didn't land. A cool one, bro. Who's the doctor? I was kidding. It didn't land. It was one of those jokes that wasn't good. I still would like you to answer the question. Who's the doctor? I was kidding. It didn't land. It was one of those jokes. It wasn't good.
Starting point is 00:55:06 I still would like you to answer the question, who's the doctor? Brad Santa. Oh, okay. I feel like I missed something. Yeah. All right, so... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:21 We're going to play a game called Last Man Stanton. I'm in. Okay. I'm in there like swimwear. Let's compete. All right. Yeah, this is the one where we're going to get a name from an audience member
Starting point is 00:55:34 of an actor or actress, hopefully someone that's not from too long ago, so Sean can participate, and hopefully someone who's not too, what would be like out of your wheelhouse, Leonard? People that are in horror movies? Yeah. Teen comedies?
Starting point is 00:55:52 You probably don't have to sit through too many of those anymore. I choose not to. But I'm really good at those, so try to push for those. What's your favorite teen comedy of all time, Leonard? Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Nice. Wow. I would have said
Starting point is 00:56:06 Beach Blanket Bingo for you. Well, you would have been wrong. I guess so. Yeah. Good thing that wasn't one of the games. Now, this isn't going to be a popular opinion,
Starting point is 00:56:15 but it's going to be not another teen movie, and it's absolutely hilarious. It's a hilarious movie. Even for those shitty parody movies, it's fantastic. Did I ask you
Starting point is 00:56:24 what yours was? No, but Sam said his. Leonard said his. And I was going to say mine regardless if you asked or not. Because I had a feeling you weren't going to ask. So I just said it. And I knew you were going to say that. Yeah, I'm not interested in what someone who's just a teenager thinks of teenage movies.
Starting point is 00:56:40 This was a conversation for us. But you do like that movie, not another teenage movie? It was. I'm talking to you, Sean. When I speak to you, you don't answer. And when I don't ask you, you do answer. Yes, I love that movie. Is that a magical sweater that makes you drunk?
Starting point is 00:57:00 I'm not drunk. It makes you Christmas drunk when you put it on? Look at how sober Brad Santa looks right now. I feel like I'm being painted in a bad light. I'm not drunk. I will be later. All right. I guarantee that, but I'm not right now.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Might as well be now. I'm at work. Might as well... Oh, really? I thought you were at the work party. God damn it, Susan. I guess I'll drink the whole bottle then. All right, here we go.
Starting point is 00:57:29 Where is D underscore Chungus? Front row. Off in the case. Super fan. I believe you contacted me two or three days ago via Twitter. Your other name besides D underscore Chungus, I mean, that's pretty catchy, but you're also listed as Meow Spaceman.
Starting point is 00:57:54 So that's what really catches my eye. I'm like, oh, Meow Spaceman. This guy's going to be interesting. What's his Twitter handle? D Chungus? Not a real name in there. That's fun. Yeah, he's keeping it anonymous.
Starting point is 00:58:07 But now we're looking right at him. Who's that sitting next to you? You don't know that person? You have the same clothes on. It's 100% true. I thought they were like brothers that showed up. Let's wear our blue t-shirts and our brown khaki shorts. Let's do this.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Oh, they're green? I apologize. I take it all back. You guys are wearing the same shit. That's crazy. All right, so... What's your actual name? Peter. Okay? Peter. Okay, Peter.
Starting point is 00:58:48 You were off the grid. Oh, we talked to him earlier because his name tag was Peter. What was it? Peter Town. He changed the to Peter. I know it was Chinatown, but it'd be even funnier if somebody took the town and covered up the with their own name. You know, you see how it's catchy, right?
Starting point is 00:59:10 Everyone's like, Peter, no, that doesn't make any sense. If your name was like a, then it would work. A town. All right. So, Peter, town. You told me you have a suggestion for this game, and we're going to hear that suggestion now. Do you want a mashup? I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:59:31 Just a regular one. Mashup? Sometimes we do a mashup. Now, Peter. Oh, fuck. I wish there was a place I could send you to called Peter Town where you could learn that Marlon Wayans
Starting point is 00:59:51 especially for extremely white panel might be kind of a toughy so do you want to toss out another idea? now John Travolta is perfect. I can rip off some Marlon Wayans movies. Let's not get it twisted.
Starting point is 01:00:13 No, no, no. Don't mess with this. Don't mess with this. All right, so... You're making, so don't mess with this. So Sam has been winning all night, so he's going to go second. I'm going to go first,
Starting point is 01:00:24 and then we'll go to Sean and Leonard and then back to me, because I like to play along. That's why we got the suggestion from Peter. Thank you very much. John Travolta starred in a movie called Perfect. Why would you take a
Starting point is 01:00:40 deep cut like that right out of the gate? Because I had just said out loud, John Travolta, that name is perfect. So I wanted to say it before any of you thought of it, which you clearly all did not. Wow. And hold all the rest of your questions, Sean,
Starting point is 01:00:55 until after the game. Sam. Look who's talking. Sean. Grease. Grease, very good. Another funny about it. Yeah. The devil's reign.
Starting point is 01:01:18 Oh, Leonard with the deepest cut of them all. All right. We're going that far back, are we? You can't go further back. Well, I'm going to go in the other direction and say Carrie. Oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:35 He's in Carrie. Don't look at me like that. No, he is. He's 100% in Carrie. I didn't. It wasn't disbelief. What was that look? I didn't know that, man.
Starting point is 01:01:43 I was excited. Excited? Yeah. Okay. Check it out sometime. I do things right sometimes. No, your face looked like you were stunned. Yeah. Not delighted. You know what I want to do
Starting point is 01:01:55 when you look at me like that? I want to take your face off. You know what I want to do to you? I want to take your Battlefield Earth off. Good one. Rip it right off. Leonard. He said Battlefield Earth.
Starting point is 01:02:22 White man's burden. Oh, that is good. Yeah, yeah. I always party too hard when I come to Traverse City. And, you know, by the weekend, I'm really messed up. Like, I'm pretty sure I'll have Saturday Night Fever. Hey, look who's talking, too. Am I right?
Starting point is 01:02:50 I feel you. I feel you. Pulp Fiction. Know what I mean? Crazy. I do. Do you know what you mean? Right over there, Pulp Fiction.
Starting point is 01:02:58 He's still, you know. Do we all have to play this? No, you don't have to form it as a sentence. No, no, because we all mentioned that Sean got a fresh haircut today, and I'm sure they used some hairspray. Yay! They did. A lot of
Starting point is 01:03:20 hairspray in this mug. What's the name of the place where you got your hair did? That was me asking you a question. I know. I know that. I was trying to think. You were just still drinking while I was... Fuck.
Starting point is 01:03:36 I just can't remember the name of Lori's spot for some reason right now. Do you remember it? You could ask her. Say it. Foxies. Foxy. now do you remember it you could ask her say it foxies boxy how do you think it's spelled sean f-a-u-x-i-e no i didn't really think that so what do you think it is spelled like? F-O-X-Y? Correct. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:08 Yeah. There it is. Looking good, dude. I appreciate it. Whose turn is it? It's yours. Oh. I thought it was Michael's turn.
Starting point is 01:04:20 Fuck, man. But there's no one up here named Michael. No, but Jesus, look who's talking now. All three! How did I get all three of those? Because who knows what those are fucking called? Why is it the second one called Look Who's Talking Too?
Starting point is 01:04:36 Still talking and somebody else is talking. It's two O's? Why don't they have a colon and everything? It's T-O-O. Yeah, yeah. Good job. All right. It was fun to have you do that-O. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Good job. All right. It was fun to have you
Starting point is 01:04:46 do that little run. It really was. Yeah. I'm not going to think of one in the next ten seconds. How about if I gave you twelve seconds?
Starting point is 01:05:00 Had to have been a hit. Nothing? Eight seconds? Was there a rode. Nothing? Eight Seconds? Was there a rodeo movie named Eight Seconds that he was in? There sure was, but I don't think
Starting point is 01:05:09 John Travolta was in that unless he also played Luke on Beverly Hills 90210. And I'm out. Sorry, Brad. When does he have to give you this shirt back? Whenever.
Starting point is 01:05:25 Talk to me in 10 years, Playboy. I'm going to wear this. I'm going to wear this for a while. I like it. It fits. It feels so good. Hey, shit. We forgot about lifelines.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Oh, shit. Yeah, we can go to Brad Santa to see if he's got one. Phenomenon. Playboy. We're still in it. Phenomenon. You're still in it. Excellent.
Starting point is 01:05:46 Good job. So yeah, Leonard, if you need your lifeline it'll be the person whose name tag you chose. Okay. But I think you've still got more Travoltas in you. I hope so. Urban Cowboy? Yeah, of course. Prequel to 8 Seconds, obviously. Did him bringing up
Starting point is 01:06:04 rodeo help you to think of that? No Okay Well, you know, I'm always struggling to find people to be guests on my show In Traverse City, there's always lots of great people to choose from But also I have to bring people in And I talk to the festival about who would you like to see on the show And we all agreed that we needed, for this one tonight,
Starting point is 01:06:25 we needed to get Shorty. And I think I know what Sam's gonna say to that, baby. Don't. Dude. Be cool. Be cool. Why wouldn't you just let me be in the game a little longer? Be cool. Be cool. Why wouldn't you just let me be in the game a little longer? Fucking crap. I mean, I don't want to hold it up.
Starting point is 01:06:57 It's not going to happen. All right. Leonard? I hope I'm getting this title right. Engine Company 49? Oh, damn it. I'm getting this title right. Engine Company 49? Oh, damn it. I'm sorry. But you want to use your lifeline for something else? Yes, I do.
Starting point is 01:07:10 Or for a correction on that one? Do we want to, will you tell me the correct title? Oh, I will when it's my turn. Where is your lifeline at? Oh, here in the front row. You got one for him? Saturday Night Fever. Well, I said Saturday Night Fever
Starting point is 01:07:27 because I'm going to come down with it. He said Grease because he has some in his hair. He went to Foxy today. Blowout. Blowout. That one has not been said because it's on my list. Blowout. You going with Blowout?
Starting point is 01:07:39 I'm going with Blowout. All right, Leonard goes with Blowout. That's correct. All right, for my next one, I would like to say ladder 49. There it is. Yeah. Sure.
Starting point is 01:07:53 The hunky fireman. I was trying to fucking unlock that one in my brain, but I just... I just had to get rid of it in case you thought of it. I didn't...
Starting point is 01:08:00 No, I didn't. I didn't have the password. I thought it was swordfish, but... I'm glad I'm out. I can't do this. I can't have the password. I thought it was swordfish, but... I'm glad I'm out. I can't do this. I can't do this magic.
Starting point is 01:08:10 This is crazy. It's like I'm up here with three wizards. I love it. Leonard, do you have another one? I'm running dry. Yeah. Because the last few films of his I've seen have not been memorable get your shit together John
Starting point is 01:08:36 no I like I like John Travolta he did a film where he played an art forger did you see that one I don't think it opened in theaters I think it went direct to yeah I don't think it opened in theaters. I think it went
Starting point is 01:08:45 direct to... Yeah, I don't know if I saw it, but if I'm aware of him being in something, you're right. His movies aren't always great, but I like him so much as an actor. If he's in it, that makes me want to check it out. Yeah, I like him. But this game is hard to... You run out of titles at a certain point. I think that's where we are. Yeah. Yeah. I think I've you run out of titles at a certain point. I think that's where we are. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:07 Yeah. I think I've just run out of titles. But great job. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't clap? Go ahead. Feel free.
Starting point is 01:09:14 That's pity applause. Right. That's pity applause. That's so sad. I didn't even get that, so, you know. I just got shut the fuck upstairs. That's what I got that sounds like somebody wants you to leave the room and be quiet shut the fuck upstairs
Starting point is 01:09:37 well I mean I'd say another title but I've got a bolt. Hey! People are excited for that one. People with kids knew that one, probably. If it's just down to you and me, Doug, there might be a fight. This could be a whole mad town. Mad city. Mad city.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Oh. Self-corrected. Oh, man. Sorry, I'm locked in. Mad city. What do you want from me, guys? I decide when an answer's locked in, Mad City. What do you want from me, guys? I decide when an answer's locked in. In a Valley of Violence is a movie that he's in that I enjoy a great deal that's more recent.
Starting point is 01:10:16 I saw it last, like a year ago at South by Southwest. So that's my answer, In a Valley of Violence. Is that whole thing the title of the movie? Huh? That's not a bluff. I'm not Graham Elwood. That movie doesn't star Leif Garrett. I'm worried about...
Starting point is 01:10:39 Ah, fuck it. The Boy in the Plastic Bubble. Made for television. I win. Oh, wait. Can I go to my... Do you want to go to your lifeline? Sure.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Wild hogs. Wild hogs! Wild hogs. Holy shit. How the fuck? Way to go, Laura. How could we miss wild hogs? I do not know.
Starting point is 01:11:00 I thought sitting up here that we were the experts. You guys, nobody told me I could check my tattoos for movies because I would have seen right here my wild hog's tattoo and that would have reminded me. Where is it? On your leg right next to your wild hog? My wild hog. Is it on the side where the dingle dangles?
Starting point is 01:11:26 Are you trying to think of another one, Sam? Yeah. Oh, shit. There was that one he did that one time. No, there was this... And there was that other one. No, there's a movie. It has the word...
Starting point is 01:11:37 Do not yell it out, folks. I'm going to work this one through. Not, folks. It's got the word kill in the title, and it's him and De Niro, and it is un-fucking-watchably bad And I've seen it twice And still can't remember the name of this movie
Starting point is 01:11:50 And Milo Ventimiglia is in it He plays De Niro's son And it's called like It's not Kill Shot And it's not Righteous Kill I'd walk away from that one And pick one of the dozens of other movies he was in.
Starting point is 01:12:09 Don't let him in your head, dude. Oh, man. I'm not in his head. I'm just over here. No, there are dozens and I was having trouble coming up with them. I don't know if it's dozens, but he's made a lot of movies. Oh, he's made a lot of movies and a lot of them have gone straight to DVD. But, uh...
Starting point is 01:12:24 Hmm. Come on, you gotta stay alive! gone straight to DVD. But, hmm. Come on, you gotta stay alive. He was not in Stayin' Alive. And also Be Quiet. Wait, what? He was the star of it. Well, Stayin' Awake is what Donna Pascal called it. Thank you, Leonard. That one was just for you.
Starting point is 01:12:41 But just because you put it in a sentence and made it all clever doesn't mean I appreciate you yelling out answers while we're still playing. So staying alive is off the table. That's fine. It wasn't on my list. How many more you got? I don't have too many more.
Starting point is 01:13:00 I mean, I've got Two of a Kind with Olivia Newton-John. Moment to Moment with Lily Tomlin. I'll never forget. That's awful, right? I will never forget seeing that movie because... Oh my God, PTSD. Better put the gun down.
Starting point is 01:13:22 My wife and I saw it at a press conference. My wife! Proud of theater in New York. My wife and I saw it at a press conference. My wife. Proud of theater in New York. And the audience, if you could have turned a camera on the audience, they would have looked like the people watching the Springtime for Hitler number in the producers. Right, yeah. Just slack-jawed with disbelief that this was happening.
Starting point is 01:13:39 Yeah, it was bizarre. Oh, man. Yeah, that wasn't a good one. You're a master of understatements. You know what you should have done after seeing that if you were really upset by it? You should have taken a civil action. That's a good one. Oh, I got one.
Starting point is 01:13:52 A civil action. That's a good one. I got one. Yeah, he's done a lot of them. He really has. Yeah, but Sam, you lasted the longest so you're our winner tonight. Sam did it, everybody.
Starting point is 01:14:11 Domestic disturbance, right? Domestic disturbance? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, taking a Pelham 1-2-3? Him and Vince Vaughn. Vince Vaughn and Terry Polo and Steve Buscemi, who got knifed in the face during the shooting of that movie at a bar fight. Steve Buscemi did. True story.ed in the face during the shooting of that movie at a bar fight. Steve Buscemi did. True story.
Starting point is 01:14:26 What a fucking gangster. That is Harley. Yeah, that's some crazy shit there. Yeah, it really is. Alright, so let's go to the audience for more titles. Broken Arrow. A Punisher. We said Michael. Primary Colors. Can't believe we missed that one. Punisher. Punisher. Michael. We said Michael. Primary colors.
Starting point is 01:14:46 Primary colors. Primary colors. Oh, yeah. Can't believe we missed that one. Yeah. Wait a second. The Killing Season. Thank you.
Starting point is 01:14:54 This gentleman knew it. Wait, is he in Basic and the General's Daughter? Basic. Definitely in Basic. From Paris with Love. Oh. The Luc Besson thing I said take a pill
Starting point is 01:15:07 I'm on a two three just now but the in red line we said face off and General's Daughter so we're getting repetitive but that's what happens like if you know
Starting point is 01:15:16 you can't write them all down it's hard to remember which ones are said savages somebody over there just said Punisher then I said Punisher savages
Starting point is 01:15:24 shout I was thinking that was called sing so that's why I didn't say it but shout Savages? Somebody over there just said Punisher. Savages. Savages. Shout. I was thinking that was called sing, so that's why I didn't say it. But shout. Yeah. Old Dogs. You've seen that one too? I don't know. Yeah, that's Robin Williams.
Starting point is 01:15:40 Savages is an interesting movie, but if you screw that up with The Savages, those are two very, very different movies. And for those of you listening to this near a computer, I highly recommend you look them up for an after laugh. The Savages is a cartoon, yeah? No, The Savages is Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman and Philip Bosco. It's two middle-aged people caring for their dying father,
Starting point is 01:16:03 and it's a heartbreaking movie to watch. Wildly different from the Oliver Stone. And then Savages, the Oliver Stone movie, is a fun romp about drug dealers. Taylor Kitsch is like fourth shot, and he just couldn't make it work. I don't know. Yeah, let's worry about Taylor Kitsch at another time.
Starting point is 01:16:19 All right, all right. Let's talk about plugs. Leonard Maltin's doing his podcast here at this festival this Sunday morning that is true and we have another episode breaking on Friday

Starting point is 01:18:50 of like some sort of Freaks and Geeks X number of years later? Not that... Way to get people's hopes up. No, not that I've heard of. That's how you get it going. You start going around
Starting point is 01:19:02 telling people, hey, we might get this. That is. And when people ask me about that all the time, I'm like, is there going to be a Freaks and Geeks reunion? And I always say, believe me, if they were asking the actors, I would be the first one to sign on.
Starting point is 01:19:13 I'd be the one to give you the definitive answer whether it was happening or not. And it is not to my knowledge. All right. So sorry, guys. But for the record, we've done like big Paley Festival panels and stuff where everyone is on the stage.
Starting point is 01:19:28 We talk about it. It's the whole crew back together again. And that's all video that you can find online, I think on Amazon. So if you really want to see how well we've all aged in one sitting, feel free to look that one up. Right on.

And as a consolation prize to the two name tags that were chosen whose players did not win tonight, I have to say whatever they tell me to say is a shithead, and then the show is over. And here's how it's going to go.
Starting point is 01:21:04 Seasonal allergies are a shithead. And they made it so that Jesse Pasternak was saying it. I don't know if Jesse has seasonal allergies or not. And the potholes during the winter in Michigan are a shithead. Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie. Eyes of gold, his viewing prowess makes him cocky. There's no room in his heart for you because Doug loves movies.
