Hey everybody, it's Doug Benson.
Hello.
You might know me from my voice or my work.
And I was just on Dumb People Town.
Yeah, we're here with us right now.
First of all, we dealt with on the show someone who, a lawnmower man, a real life lawnmower man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What else did we do?
We got a pizza restaurant that doesn't want singles.
Doesn't want singles.
And then.
No slices.
Yeah, and then we met Christine Turman,
who's been saving up for this day for a long time.
A bucket list moment, right, Doug?
Yeah, like I was saying,
I just did an episode of Dumb People Town,
and now I feel this much smarter sans gesture.
There you go.
That's it.
Dumb People Town, Doug Benson on this episode.
You have to listen to it.
Boom.
Doug hates candy wrappers,
screaming,
maybe sticky seeds with 50 as a pop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see.
Cause Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey everybody, my name is Doug and I love movies
This is Comic Con Movies
Coming to you once again during Comic Con
In Sweet Home San Diego!
That's right.
It's Saturday, July 23rd, 2022.
And we're at the American Comedy Company!
Ka-ka-ka-ka, ka-ka.
And Comic-Con is in full swing,
but people won't hear this for, you know, for a few days.
For a little while.
Comic-Con will be a memory,
and then this episode will be available.
Right?
Because the one we did on Wednesday will come out tomorrow
night. And so this one
will come out on late Thursday
night.
Great story.
Hot start to the
show. I like to start things off really
hot and then bring it
down for the part we call
Doug Plugs. I only wrote down
one plug because I'm so excited
to get to the show
today. And that one
plug is...
I can't even find it.
That's how small it is.
Oh, here...
Here we go.
Los Angeles, Sunday, August 14th.
We're back at Dynasty Typewriter
at the Hayworth at 420.
For all of my dates and deets, go to Douglovesmovies.com.
That's Douglovesmovies.com.
Yeah!
Come on!
Come on!
Happy birthday!
Here it is.
Shh! Happy birthday. Here it is. Shh.
I think that's how
shh got in there.
One time, not even in here,
somebody just was saying shh to people
that were getting it wrong.
And then it just got worked into the bit.
But
that was pretty good.
Give yourselves a round of applause.
I've been cheating at some of the shows
lately and going out and rehearsing
with the audience before
the show, but I thought, today,
let's just see what the fuck happens.
And we did.
Do you want to hear about the prize bag?
I bought a bag.
I'm going to brag about this bag that I brought full of crap.
Good crap, though, I think.
I think it's good crap.
The bag is from the, I was on the IMDB boat that's parked down there behind the convention center.
They let me on there for a little bit.
And, you know, they give you a swag bag.
And the bag says IMDB on it.
And it's yellow.
It's like carrying around the Internet Movie Database.
But with your stuff in it.
And so some of this stuff I brought and some of it they gave me,
like they gave me these shirts from a pair of thieves.
And they seem like nice.
Somebody's saying, whoo, yeah, they seem like probably nice, comfortable shirts.
Not my size.
So they go in the prize bag.
Somebody sent me a bunch of pairs of pants that have the underwear built in,
which I don't know what I did to give them the impression I'm after such a thing.
Oh, putting on underwear is such a hassle.
I mean, I guess they're supposed to be like leisure wear or something.
They look like this.
But anyway, not my size.
Goes in the bag.
Got a lot of CBD products because I
like CBD but I don't love CBD.
So I put a bunch of that shit in here.
And here's
the two most exciting things
I dare say.
It's not exclusive
but it's
like a premiere. They're doing like a
exclusive Comic-Con premiere
of a Funko Pop
that is from the Friends TV show.
Oh, shit!
You might withdraw your oh, shit
when you hear the rest of this,
because they're getting really creative with what they turn into these little figurines over there.
Because I didn't remember this.
I had to be reminded of this.
Apparently Joey Tribbiani had like a penguin called Huggsy the penguin that he spoke of on occasion so that's what
this is is Huggsy the penguin it says friends at the top I looked at that I
went which fucking friend do they think looks like a cute little penguin? If I had to guess, I'd say Miranda.
See, that's a fun mixing up of how people call themselves
something from Sex and the City.
You get it.
And then this weird thing that I got sent during Pando,
it's from the show Search Party on HBO Max.
it's from the show Search Party on HBO Max they were like they sent me
red string
so that I could like go into my basement
and start putting clues together on the wall
and catch a serial killer
and I was like oh that sounds exhausting
I don't want to catch any serial killers
I mean I wish they'd stop.
I empathize with their victims.
But I can't be stringing up shit on my wall
and trying to figure out that sort of thing.
So that's why I'm passing this along to somebody.
Ooh, there's also some socks by Bombas.
Yeah, those are soft-ass socks.
That's what they were originally called, but they went with Bombass instead, Bombas socks.
And for every pair of socks you buy, I just got given these, so I guess I assume it still
works.
Somebody that needs socks is going to get a pair for free.
Yeah.
That's their company thing, and I think they picked a good thing.
I like the concept.
So all of that's in the prize bag,
and I think even one of my guests
might have brought something else to contribute.
But let's go ahead and get them out here, shall we?
Please give a big, warm Eddie the Eagle,
San Diego, gas lamp quarter.
It's inflation, so it's gas lamp 35 cents right now, but we'll get it back.
We'll get it back to the quarter soon.
Please give it up, everybody, for Mark Ellis, Nick Rutherford, and David Sanborn!
Come on in, fellas.
What's happening?
What a welcome, everyone.
How we doing, San Diego?
Everybody good?
Yeah?
I'll talk, too.
We all get to do the comic thing.
Hey, how you feeling tonight, San Diego?
I don't believe you.
That's a good round of applause for Escondido,
but this is San Diego.
Hey, let me real quick introduce you individually so the listeners will know which white guy is talking.
Okay.
so the listeners will know which white guy is talking.
And alphabetically, so you'll know when it's your turn.
Ladies and gentlemen,
returning to this program in triumph from a very exciting victory,
I would dare say,
last Wednesday night
and round one
of the two-part Comic-Con Douglas Movies experience.
It's Mark Ellis, everybody!
I mean, thank you, folks.
You know, Doug, you really kind of downplayed the achievement
by saying he's the big winner of round one.
Well, I'm just saying that you're now
the ongoing champion.
Well, that feels better.
The show has a few dangling champs,
but, you know, today you're the champion.
You've been champion for a few days now.
Has that felt all right?
You know, you walk around,
people look you in the eye.
It feels different.
I went jet skiing today.
Yeah, was it free because you're a Douglas Movies champion?
I walked up.
I tried to pay them.
They wouldn't take my money.
They said, your money's no good here.
Give the eagle my regards.
So I was jet skiing.
And then for a moment there, because there's all this madness happening at Comic-Con.
Everybody's excited, running around.
And I just turned the engine off, and I just sat there in the bay.
And I actually heard the moment when Superman didn't show up.
And it just felt so good.
We're having a lot of fun with this, but
I just remembered
that the episode we did on Wednesday
isn't out yet.
I don't know who won.
The general public has no idea.
I haven't spilled the beans.
Everyone here knows you won because I've
said that's why you're back today. And if you win again today, has no idea. I haven't spilled the beans. Everyone here knows you won because I've said
that's why you're back today.
And if you win again today,
you'll be back again
as soon as we can have you.
Just tell me when I can talk about it.
Was anybody in the crowd today
at the show Wednesday night?
There we go.
Interesting.
See?
And it's spoiled for the rest of you.
What if they all left? They're like, oh, he won? Nope. And it's spoiled for the rest of you. What if they all left?
They're like, oh, he won?
Nope.
Nuh-uh.
Well, thanks to those people in the back doing the two-banger,
were you sitting in the back Wednesday night as well?
Oh, you were at the high top.
So you're never on time, you know?
Always.
You'll come to every party, but you're not going to get there
when you need to be there to get the best spot
or maybe you like sitting back there
I like sitting in the back of a comedy club
yeah it's a good spot right
I mean this whole club is great
it's the perfect size
as long as you're not sitting next to Zoltar
because he keeps saying shit
he keeps talking shit over there in the corner
but the Ronald McDonald statue is only creepy.
It doesn't speak.
It's only creepy to look
at. Yeah, I mean, if ever there's
a horror movie waiting to happen,
it's somebody putting on a
Ronald McDonald costume. That's why I love where the green
room is, because if we're on stage and Ronald McDonald
stands up, we have the panic room right
there. We'll get as many of you in as we
can. Yeah, we just gotta go hide behind the bookcase.
Which is the weirdest comedy club.
It's the weirdest entrance to a green room.
But I'm sure I've referred to it many times over the years,
much like Eddie the Eagle over here,
who is the only backdrop in comedy
that stays lit with no shadows on it
while comedians are standing directly in front of it.
It is a modern miracle how that thing
is always the most prominent thing on this stage,
as it should be, because his name is Edward T. Eagle.
And he's even been on this show,
and people love to do impressions of him.
But let's go ahead and say hi to our other guests
as I quickly figure out which comes first in R or in S.
Give it up, everybody.
He's been on the show before in San Diego, I believe,
at this very club.
It's Nick Rutherford, everybody.
Hey, I'm Nick Rutherford.
Hey.
Let me hear it, San Diego Diego Give me a San Diego
Woo woo
That's what we do down here
That's what we always do
You're like those times when I have a DJ on the show
It's always a mistake
No seriously
There have been some good ones
Let's clear the air with a San Diego woo-woo.
Yeah, they're losing steam on it, man.
They're bailing on the bit.
They're saving up their vocal cords for laughter and joy,
not just robotic callbacks doing what they're told.
We get that out of the way. It's robotic callbacks doing what they're told. We get that out of the way.
He's robotic callbacks.
We get that out of the way
early in the show, though.
The rest of the time,
I'm like, don't yell at things.
Thanks for coming.
Don't yell at things.
Okay, so,
which is what they say
before Jeopardy starts taping.
Thanks for coming.
Please don't yell at things.
And usually people
are pretty polite.
That was one thing that was fun on Wednesday night is that there was a lady, Thanks for coming. Please don't yell things. And usually people are pretty polite.
That was one thing that was fun on Wednesday night is that there was a lady,
perhaps the folks in the back can corroborate this,
who seemed like she was going to be a drunken, interrupting mess
at the beginning of the show,
and she pulled it together, and I never heard from her again.
She either just decided to be quiet
or died right there in her seat,
and nobody noticed.
But she became almost a dream audience member.
I prefer someone to be laughing
than just dead in the room.
But, you know, what can you say?
I mean, I do hope she's okay.
I think she is.
I just say, you know, as performers,
that's what happens.
You leave the stage,
sometimes you never see the person again.
I didn't mean to bring up that anything bad could have happened to her.
But she certainly did seem like she was drunk and annoying,
and then she disappeared from my life.
Isn't that the best?
I'll always wonder.
Yeah, I don't mind the mystery.
Yeah, they take care of the problem themselves.
But Nick, what did you...
You had a panel appearance yesterday at Comic-Con?
Yeah, I moderated a panel for the Vindicators,
which is...
Okay, a lot of fans.
Yeah, people went nuts for that.
He wore them out with the woos already.
They were ready to go crazy for Vindicator.
They're like, we're tired, Nick.
It's a Rick and Morty spinoff.
Oh.
Okay, now you guys are on my side.
Now we're interested.
It's too late.
So they did like a spinoff series called The Vindicators.
It was created by Sarah Carbiner and Erica Rosby.
And I got to moderate a panel in a big room.
Was it vindicating?
It was vindicating.
And it indicated an interest in the show.
Yeah.
It was fun.
I've never done that before.
We did a Q&A,
and a lot of guys in morph suits came up,
and so you could just tell what their dicks look like.
You definitely know what all of their dicks look like. You definitely know what all their dicks look like.
Yeah, you don't know about any kind of coloration issues,
but you definitely know the shape.
Yeah, you know what their genitals are like.
It's a thin line between cosplay
and exposing yourself to children.
It was a guy in a Worf costume?
No, like Morf suits.
It's Spider-Man. Any Spider-Man out there. I thought in a Worf costume? No, like Morf suits. It's Spider-Man.
Any Spider-Man out there.
I thought you said Worf, and I was like, could you see the little protrusions?
Like his forehead?
Is it down there too?
Or is it just, you know, like the indentation?
Worf, he's hung like a horse, but he's got the little fins.
Is that in the Star Trek canon?
Oh, it is.
It's in the books.
It's in the book that I'm currently writing.
I moderated a panel for it yesterday in my hotel room.
I'm going to just go ahead and introduce our third guest now.
Seems as good a time as any.
Probably for the best.
Plucked from this very audience to become what turns out to be,
it looks like, a regular on this program.
Ladies and gentlemen, David Sanborn is here.
Hello, everyone.
I'm one of you.
Hometown hero.
David, give us a San Diego woo-woo.
Woo-woo.
Yeah.
They're going to soar it against us now.
Woo woo.
Yeah.
They're going to so root against us now.
I'm here to fulfill my dream of beating Mark Ellis in trivia, and that's it.
All right, well, don't forget about Nick over there.
Yeah, he's here too.
Hey, man.
I love this city you live in. Thanks for taking a break from moderating panels to join us down here, man. I love the city you live in.
Thanks for taking a break from moderating panels to join us down here, Nick.
Sorry, I'm a hot shot.
Coming down from your ivory tower.
They put all the windows in every hotel
is covered with an ad for the rookie.
Which now there's two the rookies.
Did you know there's two rookies?
What?
Yeah, there's a second fucking rookie.
Two rookies.
A rookie spit out like Rookie Las Vegas?
No, the rookie colon fed.
Fed rookie?
Yeah, it's a federal rookie.
I thought the rookie was the main character of the show.
It's just a different rookie, right?
They are printing money now.
Why can't they call it another rookie?
It's the rookie fed, and she's a rookie,
and she's in the fed.
And she's also 55 years old.
It's like the other rookie.
They're old rookies. You get it.
Yeah, but she's in the FBI.
Fillion is still writing traffic tickets.
Yeah, he's just walking beats.
And he's like, how do I write a ticket?
I'm new at this job. It's been seven seasons.
Imagine being that guy's age and still being yelled at,
being threatened with traffic duty.
Now there's a new rookie that's in the FBI
working at the Pentagon, getting shit done.
I'm not hearing anything you're saying
because I'm just mad that there's a rookie, too.
I can't get it. Like, just the unnecessary spinning off of things anything you're saying because I'm just mad that there's a rookie too.
I can't get it.
Just the unnecessary spinning off of things.
Did you hear they're making a CSY?
So anyway.
I introduced
everybody, right?
But here's the thing about our friend David Sanborn.
Can I tell him what's going to happen to you?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
He's dying. I was like, what's happening
to me? He's not going to be with us much longer.
Six weeks, right?
About six weeks.
This is the wish, everyone. You're looking at it.
This was the wish.
When I said fulfill my wish, it was a make-a-wish.
Yeah, which is weird because
make-a-wish usually doesn't say, sure-a-wish usually doesn't say sure we'll get you
involved in a competition where we'll guarantee
you a win because that's what you
said what you wanted so we'll hopefully get
that for you today we're not throwing the match
you know a win like this could
could turn around whatever
disease it is we've decided
you have the Doug loves movies
miracle whatever it is it's killing you
let's try to fight it today.
Let's try to see if by the end
of the show you're healthy. Don't say that
because then if Nick or I win,
we kill David.
And you have to live
with that. Yeah, I mean. Yeah, but you don't
and we will continue
on riding jet skis.
Moderating panels.
Yeah.
I got no problem with that, man.
I just met you.
I got no horses in your race.
Let's murder an 11-year-old tonight, shall we, San Diego?
I would think that, Mark, you must get exhausted how far you're willing to drag a premise.
I dragged it from my hotel. it and carrying it all this way
but
it's always
such a fun time not only doing the shows here
at American Comedy Company
but with these three particular gentlemen
and the point I was trying to make
is David is moving away
to the other side of the country
to heaven
it's called heaven.
It's called heaven.
Other people call it Florida.
It goes by a couple names.
Yeah, he's moving to Florida.
It's not my choice.
They are sadder now that you're moving to Florida
than when you were dying.
Listen, listen, listen, listen.
He's trading one SeaWorld for another.
What's the big deal?
All right, let's give David a chance to respond.
We're going to give him seven seconds to defend himself.
Why are you moving to Heaven's Waiting Room?
Listen, listen.
My wife makes the money,
and I got to follow that money or else I have to work.
Fair.
And I don't want to do that.
I want to see David's
dick.
Give that guy a Spider-Man
costume. I want to see his web
slinger. She works so I can guest
star on podcasts and that's how
it works. That's fair.
I'm a feminist
is what I'm saying.
I'm not.
I'll make the goddamn money.
Even if nobody will date me.
Okay, Mark Ellis.
You are first today in Recommendation Nation.
That's where I ask all of my guests
to just recommend one movie
so that people can be like,
oh, yeah, maybe I'll check that out
if it's something they haven't seen.
Mark, what do you have for us today?
Last time you were here,
you recommended the most successful movie of the year.
Yeah.
So you really stuck your neck out.
I can't do Top Gun Maverick again?
You can.
I mean, there's no rules to this part.
We'll move on a lot quicker, that's for sure.
I'll take that.
I don't want to have the same conversation again.
I'll do the old Doug Loves Movies gag
where I just picked the most recent film I saw in theaters,
and that was Thor, Love and Thunder.
And that was silence. Wow.
You got a gasp. You had a gasp. Yeah, there was kind of a quiet gasp over there.
One woman fainted, everybody else...
Somebody was kind of like, oh, okay, you did that?
Hmm, interesting.
But, so you're recommending it?
I'd recommend Thor Love and Thunder,
especially because I paid $12,
and that is the cheapest Guns N' Roses concert
I ever went to.
It's just GNR throughout the whole movie, and I'm not complaining about that.
A lot of funny jokes.
There's some repeat gags.
There's some premises that they stretch throughout the entire movie, and I found them delightful.
So, yeah, Thor, Love, and Thunder.
Check it out.
You see Hemsworth's ass.
What more do you want?
He's so handsome.
God, he's good looking.
Right, David?
Right, David?
Right, yeah.
Jesus.
And you only paid $12.
Some lady in the audience just went,
God damn it.
Yeah, I know.
That's how upset she is about his good looks.
That's how attractive he is.
God damn.
Fuck, look at him.
Fucking guy.
Motherfucker, God damn it.
Fuck. Have you seen that he can wear any hairstyle? Fuck, look at him. Fucking guy. Motherfucker, goddammit.
Have you seen that he can wear any hairstyle?
And when he was like real fat, he was more handsome.
Fuck.
Fucking fat Thor didn't help anybody.
Didn't help any real fat guys.
Because they're not as handsome.
All right, here we go.
God damn it.
Ugh.
Not a hair on it either, you know?
His ass.
Yeah, just like a baby's ass, except ripped.
I'd let him, I'd let him fuck me. I would.
Okay, we can cut things out.
I really did the thing of my nightmares,
and I brought Wednesday's script instead of today's script,
so I don't have any of the material.
You don't have today's script in there?
I don't have any of the games.
This is good.
This is probably how it was when you started.
It's just off the cuff, right?
I have a prediction I'm going to win today.
I got a good feeling about this.
I was there too.
I know.
You got competition here.
Yeah, David was in the audience.
So this would just be like, let's play the games again and just fuck over Nick.
And Nick is also here.
This is like the game for me.
You guys can just really confuse me.
This is like Michael Douglas the game
which is a movie.
You know Doug loves those.
I was so excited about
some of the games and stuff I came up with
for today.
Is it in the green room?
Is it in the car?
It's at the fucking hotel.
Which we just found out is very far away.
It's in Hamul.
All right.
I have a workaround if you want to.
It's far enough away
that if anyone went there to get it,
you know, like if I had anybody that could go get it...
You have an eagle!
They wouldn't, yeah.
They wouldn't get back in time.
It would take too long.
And I can't, you know, I can't play these games from memory.
There's so much shit that I wrote out.
I have a workaround if you want it.
I'm interested in a workaround, as is this entire audience.
I have an emergency fail-safe.
So as some of you may know, I host a show called the Movie Trivia Schmodown.
Oh, here he goes.
Here he got him started.
Here he goes.
On my phone, I happen to own a cellular telephone.
You and your ivory tower, too.
In the green room,
I have all the questions from the Schmodown
if you just want me
to quiz the three of you
for the next 45 minutes.
Wow.
That is an interesting proposition.
You know I love playing trivia.
You know, I love participating,
and I never get to do that
on my own movie trivia show.
And every time I've competed in a showdown,
I had one win and two losses.
And one of the losses was one of the most embarrassing things
that ever happened to me.
And it was just, you know, it's those things.
When you're in intense trivia situations,
it's crazy what your mind will just say.
You don't need to know this word right now.
And you know everything else about the answer
except for that word or that whatever it was
that fucked me up.
But now I worry.
And another reason why I'm excited
about playing trivia right now
is I'm starting to worry that my trivia knowledge
is starting to wane
because I pay less attention to the new trivia.
You're out of shape.
And who cares about the older shit?
I have old shit.
David Wayne, Red Hot American Summer.
What just happened?
That's a movie.
Are you from another multiverse
where Doug brought the correct script?
Are you answering questions I'm asking somewhere else?
Yeah, David Wayne directed Wet Hot American Summer.
You just said that?
That was the statement?
It's been a long weekend, my friend.
Yeah.
Having a good time.
He's not wrong.
You also have a phone yourself, Doug,
because you're doing well like I am.
So you could pull up.
We could do like the IMDb game.
Or we could do like the Leonard Maltin game. You could pull up. We could do the IMDB game or we could do
the Leonard Maltin game. You could go to some old school
games. Well, the Leonard Maltin app
doesn't exist anymore.
Thanks for dragging me
into this. There's people
out there that do love and miss the Leonard Maltin
game, but it is too hard to teach to
new guests.
I'm just a fixer. I'm the Ray Donovan
of this show. No, I like the
Schmodown thing, and now I'm going to do my
thing for a little bit, and then point to you
when I want the Schmodown thing.
Can I go get my phone then?
You don't have to get it right away, or do you need to start
prepping it? No.
You could just pull up trivia.
Pull it up, baby.
Fucking ready to go.
Questions that have already been asked on the Schmodown.
Some old, some new.
You never know.
But none of us are real viewers of the Schmodown.
You haven't been invited.
We can't cheat.
We can't cheat in that sense.
I mean, is there a chance I'll recognize some of the questions from having played in events?
Knowing you, I don't think you'd recall them too quickly.
You got me. I mean, this is fucking, I don't think you'd recall them too quickly. You got me.
I mean, this is fucking, I cannot believe this.
Because I'll think to myself as I'm putting the script in my bag and leaving the hotel,
I'll think to myself, you know, double check, make sure this is the right script.
But I will fucking trick myself sometimes.
But usually I'm a lot closer to the hotel.
You were holding that script in the green room
for the half hour before the show.
Yeah.
No, because I don't look at it until I come out here.
Clearly.
Yeah, because it's all written down.
Why do I need to look at it?
But the games were like, you know,
ones where quotations from movies and stuff were involved.
I'm not going to remember them.
And so it's not right to play it inaccurately.
You did like the intro and everything.
It didn't have today's date.
No, I know.
I just say that stuff and look at it if I need it.
Maybe it is.
So I just said it all without looking down.
so I just said it all without looking down I first looked down when you guys
were recommending movies and I already
have for Mark Top Gun
Maverick
because I wrote that down when he recommended
it the other night
I knew you'd find a way to blame Tom Cruise for this
it is not his fault
I blame all of Scientology for me bringing the wrong
script and
you know what are you going to do?
But, yeah.
And, yeah, I just didn't look at it until then.
It's so weird.
It's too bad we wasted all the crowd's energy on woos.
I know.
Now they're doing it naturally.
Now they're doing it because, let's face it,
you know, it's kind of a one-of-a-kind,
exciting episode of the show.
Not only do we have a guest who is dying,
we also have a host who is going to participate instead of hosting.
So we're going to have to work out a couple of details
and then thrill the listeners
when we come back from commercial
with the exciting turn that this show has taken.
We'll be right back!
And we're back!
San Diego, let me hear you woo!
We're back and we're having a real
fuck it, we'll do it live moment.
But we figured some things out
during the break, but we're going to figure out more
things out during the next break.
But before we do that,
we still have to get some recommendations
out of these fellows.
Have we gotten any of them yet?
I gave you Thor, Love, and Thunder,
and then the wheels came off a little bit.
Yeah.
Mark gave us Thor,
and then I went to write it down and went,
this isn't the right piece of paper.
What an asshole I am.
Although Top Gun, Love, and Thunder
kind of would work.
I'd see it.
That should be the next one.
Got my 10 bucks.
What was the Tom Cruise race car driver movie?
Days of Thunder.
Days of Thunder.
Yeah?
That's what you're recommending?
No.
Damn it.
No, no.
Oh, you're just playing your own little trivia game over there?
Yeah, I'm just connecting things.
I'm a connector.
Okay.
But can you recommend something?
Yeah, yeah.
I think there's this documentary that I think you can watch on Netflix, and it's called Tread.
Yeah?
Wow.
And it's bonkers.
It's this guy.
It didn't happen that long ago, and I don't even remember how.
I did not see this in the news.
A guy who's completely unhinged built a tank and then just went on a tear.
He took like a caterpillar tractor and covered it in steel and then just blew out of his barn and just went nuts.
Yeah.
It's a really good documentary.
I love how the crowd is like, should we be cheering for the documentary or are we rooting for this guy?
And he's like, I forget what his manifesto was.
It was unclear,
but it was like,
people are mean to me.
There was like one person
who cheered for the movie,
but like 30 people
who cheered for,
yeah, the guy has a tank.
Yeah, I mean,
it's a pretty cool tank.
And like cops are just like
blinging off
and like bling, bling
and he's just fucking.
They should have called
that movie Tank.
They should have called it Tank. Because
some people like it
but didn't remember it's called
Tread. I think that's what happened.
Yeah. I think that's where
this delayed reaction occurred.
Okay. That's a good one.
Thank you for that recommendation. You think
it's on a streamer? I'm pretty sure it's on
Netflix right now. Nice. Yeah.
Alright. I want to see that. Okay. David, do you have one streamer. I'm pretty sure it's on Netflix right now. Nice. Yeah. All right. I want to see that.
Okay.
David, do you have one?
Yeah.
I am going to recommend
The Faculty.
I was just watching that
in a hotel room
that didn't have good options.
It is a good option, though.
Well, it was the best option.
I'll give you that.
You know,
it may not be the best
Robert Rodriguez movie.
It may not be the best one Rodriguez movie. It may not be the best
one-eyed Jon Stewart movie, but
or Raymond Usher
movie, but it
is pretty diverting, I think.
I like it. I think all the effects are kind of cool.
I think
it's one of Robert Rodriguez's
Wow, that's hard to say.
Robert Rodriguez's
Wait, what do you mean say. Robert Rodriguez's.
Wait, what do you mean?
I think it's one of his best, yeah.
What do you mean one-eyed Jon Stewart?
Does he have one eye in it?
For some reason, he has an eye patch on in the end credits.
I didn't see his part in the movie because he's in towards the beginning, I think. It's for a reason.
Yeah.
It's a good reason.
Oh, okay.
Did he lose an eye?
Maybe he loses an eye in the movie. I guess you got to watch the movie. Yeah. It's a good reason. Oh, okay. Yeah. Did he lose an eye? Maybe he loses an eye in the movie.
I guess you got to watch the movie.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's on HBO Max if you want to watch it.
Yeah, but watch your eyes also.
Don't let anybody take one of your eyes while you're watching The Falc-Falc-alty.
The Falc-alty.
Caw-caw.
That's what, that's Eddie's favorite movie is The Falcon Tea.
All right.
The faculty is on HBO Max.
What are these notes for, Doug?
I have to write down the movies you recommended.
Yeah, but why?
Because then I post on Twitter and make it a competition
to make you look like an asshole who picked a bad movie.
Okay.
No, it's just a fun way of saying to people,
hey, have you seen these movies?
Let's talk about these movies. He's getting back up on the horse, all right?
He had a mishap with his notes,
but damn it, he's back to writing them.
Oh, yeah.
Will he remember them tonight?
Probably not, but he's writing them.
American Comedy Company came to the rescue.
They brought me a piece of paper.
They brought me Mark Ellis,
who's gonna
take over in a little bit
I love how I offered the game
that's gonna guarantee I don't get to win
cause I'm asking the question
that's a good point
but then you remain
then you haven't lost
you remain a champion
and you get to come back whenever you want
I'm dangling baby
whenever you want just throw a dart at a calendar and tell me, and you're on the show.
We're dangling.
Christmas Day.
No.
6 a.m.
Not going to make one on Christmas Day, probably.
I don't know what day of the week Christmas is this year.
If it falls on a Sunday, I might be making one.
But anyway, we'll see.
I can't make that. They play the NFL on Sunday. I can't make that.
They play the NFL on Sunday.
I can't do it.
Yeah, you can.
Not available.
No.
When I do my 420 afternoon shows,
I swap them over to Saturdays once the football season starts.
Thank you.
For you and like-minded people.
Can I get a monitor with the college football game of note on?
Right now?
This guy just takes and takes.
I'm the only link to actual movie trivia
on the show today.
Oh, so lord it over us, King Phone.
I mean, I could still play some games.
I just wouldn't be as fun and professional
as I normally have.
However you want to do it, Doug normally have however you want to do it
Yeah, I want to do it in a way where you know ends on a game where you know
Someone isn't sitting here trying to remember it
Trying to recall what I wrote down
But yeah, we got plenty of games where I could just play it because it doesn't have material
You know what I mean, but I also don't I don't want to swap it up that way. Like build a title. Because I'm excited. Exactly. That's what I was going to go
until Schmodown Hodown started talking. And then
I got excited about getting to play. Yeah, I'm glad you're getting to play. I'm excited to play.
Are you excited to watch me play?
I appreciate that. I feel like some aren't, but have my back
anyway. And I really like that about you.
Can we switch seats?
I think you should be competing.
Oh, interesting.
And again, here comes the more command.
But you have to write down everything.
I've always thought the host should be in the middle.
And this is finally we're going to try it that way.
Let's do it.
We're going to see how it works with you in the middle hosting and me over here.
It's true.
I don't really need a table if I'm not having a show.
You're still going to want to write little things down on that piece of paper you're going to bring to the next show by accident.
I have to make little notes like edit what Nick said 38 minutes in.
That's what it is, oh, man.
I like it over here, though, so I'll stay here.
But we're going to get to that.
We're going to get to that very soon.
Okay.
But I still have to announce to the listeners
who the three of you are playing for today, or who I... I didn't pick a name tag. That was the point, was I was going to announce to the listeners who the three of you are playing for today
or who I
I didn't pick a name tag
that was the point
was I was gonna pick one
oh I picked you
I just wrote down
I just wrote down Mark
I wrote down Mark
you wrote down Mark?
I wrote down Mark yeah
oh wait is that your name?
no
that's your name
his name is Al or Casey
if you wanna just pick any name
I remember all of his names
And wrote down Mark instead of Doug
Alright
So
I love that I'm in your head
Doug, that's me
I'm playing
I'm playing for a TV reference
So we're not even going to get into it
But his name is Casey
Thank you for coming
Nick
Yes Who are you playing for? I'm playing for Kip into it, but his name is Casey. Thank you for coming. Nick.
Yes?
Who are you playing for?
I'm playing for Kip, who has a striptease.
Thank you, Kendall, who has a striptease poster called Kip Tease.
Okay.
Right, right.
Yeah.
Right.
And then David is playing for... Clue Leslie.
I couldn't remember if it was Leslie.
I like the way you said Leslie.
It sounded like you're British for just a second.
Clu Leslie.
Less so now.
It's Clu Leslie.
Yeah, Leslie.
Just the name Leslie makes you sound British for a second.
Leslie.
All right.
That's who everybody's playing for.
We're going to play Schmodown.
I just got a drink that I think is for somebody else.
I think that's mine.
Yay.
Look at that.
Yummy.
Wait, who are you playing for?
Not you.
He's playing for the whole Leslie thing we just did.
Oh, right.
I got distracted by the British guy.
The one with Leslie?
Yeah.
The word he said.
Make him say Leslie into a microphone so the listeners know.
No, it's okay.
Okay.
They trust you.
They trust you.
Leslie?
Leslie.
Yeah.
I feel weird now.
You put him all in his head.
I didn't like it.
I didn't like what I did to you, sir.
And I'm sorry. All right. I'm't like it. I didn't like what I did to you, sir. And I'm sorry.
All right.
I'm glad you guys worked that out.
Just in time for another commercial break.
There's got to be two of them in every show,
so there you go.
We'll be right back.
We're back.
Take it away,
Mark Ellis. Alright, hi,
I'm Mark, and I'm the host of Mark Enjoys
Movies, but this is actually Doug Loves Movies,
and Doug Benson, kind enough to let
me run the show because somebody left their
manifesto at home.
So here's how we're going to play.
It's going to be two rounds of movie trivia.
Nick versus Doug versus the dying David.
So round number one,
whoever gets to 10 points first wins the round.
The winner of the round gets three points.
The runner up of the round gets two points.
The third place gets one point
and then we'll play another round. Round two will be the round gets three points. The runner-up of the round gets two points. The third place gets one point, and then we'll play another round.
Round two will be the round that determines
the winner of the show.
If I was listening to this on a
podcast app, I would go back
and play it at half speed.
And then
each competitor gets a lifeline.
Okay, now speed it up.
One lifeline.
You get to ask whoever you're playing for
if you don't think you know the answer to the question,
but you think they might.
Here's how we determine the categories.
I am going to get...
Look at Doug.
He's so happy.
He's so happy he gets to play a game
instead of being the game master.
Yeah, it's called turning a disaster
into the best thing that's ever happened.
Because I am going to also win today.
Can I get a scotch? I'm kidding.
Can I get a Xandigo woo-woo?
Have you ever seen Doug Benson play the Schmodown,
it's a different Doug Benson.
It's intense and it's fun.
Here's how I'm going to arrive at the categories.
We're actually going to get them from the crowd.
It's going to be from my mind based on the competitor's selections
for what they recommended in the previous segment.
Wow.
Doug, I need a movie recommendation from you
or your favorite movie of all time.
Oh, man.
My current recommendation is I've been saying if you have Apple TV, watch Cha-Cha Real Smooth.
Yeah, it's the Nick Rutherford story.
What does that mean?
Is that mean?
No, the guy has similar hair.
What does that mean, man?
He's very likable gotta He's very likable
He's very likable
Oh, good, good
Okay, that'll work
All right
Dakota Johnson likes him
I am going to ask
one question
to kick us off here
and this is the only question
where you're gonna be tied
so whoever buzzes in first
your buzzer is simply
the correct answer
Do you think you know it?
You get one guess at it
That person will be going first
in round number one
Here's the question.
Is everybody ready to play?
What 1980s
film has the line
this one's got a cute little stripe
on his head? Gremlins.
David Sanborn's going first,
everyone. Is it Gremlins?
And the movie is Gremlins.
Okay, Kip, let's do this.
And David,
your recommended piece of
entertainment was? The Faculty.
The Faculty. Alright,
so we are going to go to
horror movies for you.
Oh, shit. That's gonna be
horror movies. And your
first question in the category
of horror movies. Are you ready, David?
As I'll ever be. Just David, right?
Yeah, it's just me. It's just me?
Is it just me? Just David.
David, if you need to lie down during this
or anything because your body gets too weak,
let us know.
Can I borrow your mic stand, Doug?
Yeah. Thank you. Maybe they have a mic stand, Doug? Yeah.
Thank you.
Maybe they have a mic stand.
What's that?
I don't know.
I have one because I want to be hands-free.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You guys don't have them because if I have an actor on Douglas movies
and you give them a mic stand, they don't know.
Not good at using them.
Comedians are good with them, but everyone else isn't.
David, your question.
Kicking things off here.
Oh, boy.
In which John Carpenter film does Kurt Russell co-star with Wilford Brimley and Keith David?
The Thing.
That is two points for David.
He got it right.
I just watched that like two weeks ago
For the first time
Did you really?
Yeah it was really good
David with the days you have left
Maybe it's time to get out into some nature
Good movie
So now we go over to Nick Rutherford
Nick you picked a movie called Tread
That should have been called Tank
That is streaming
So your category is streaming movies
That is the broadest category ever Wow called Tread that should have been called Tank that is streaming, so your category is streaming movies.
That is the broadest category ever.
Wow.
Nice to narrow it down.
It's only been in existence for like seven years.
Okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Your question.
Bad Robot and Netflix surprised audiences
with a drop of a film in what franchise?
Subtitled Paradox
after the Super Bowl in
2018.
Yeah.
That would be the
Star Trek
franchise.
I'm joking.
I'm joking.
I'm joking.
Why would I... Come on on why would I say that
the boring identity stuff
it's the boring guy
I'm fucking joking
it's a comedy show you're allowed to have joke answers
how many is it like three jokes
he's out how does this work
paradox that's not a thing that didn't happen
somebody look it up that didn't happen. Somebody look it up. That didn't happen.
It is, of course,
Toy Story.
That is incorrect. We're looking for Cloverfield.
Cloverfield. People knew it.
Nick, not on the board yet.
We go over to the host of the show, usually Doug Benson.
All right, Doug, and since you were so on board with my pick for a movie,
Top Gun Maverick, your category is Tom Cruise films.
Oh, I love it.
I love it.
I'm going to go change my pants after this.
And your question is,
which 1990s film was Tom Cruise directed by Neil Jordan in?
Now, where are you at with getting the title exactly right?
Do you...
You know what I mean?
As far as...
There's been controversy on Jeopardy lately
because people get sloppy on Final Jeopardy, you know?
Like, it's got to be the exact wording.
I'll be a little lenient.
Right. Yeah, yeah, you gave him the thing
when it's John Carpenter's the thing.
Okay, so...
Wow, you've been holding on to that.
I'm already dying.
I was just thrilled. I was just happy I remembered
that that had just happened.
It was good. It was good.
That'll be a good reference.
Okay.
Oh, goddammit, because I just hate the way this title is phrased,
but I'm going to say Interview with the Vampire.
It wasn't a vampire.
It was the vampire.
That is correct.
Doug Manson's got two points.
I did it.
All right. Woo!
And we go back to David.
That's not a San Diego woo.
That's a sweating woo.
That's a sweet tea woo right there.
It is two to two to zero.
And now I realize just how annoying I've been to Doug
on previous iterations of this show.
Because now I'm hosting,
but everybody's got one more little bit, don't you?
Y'all got one more little tag, because you're in front
of a live crowd, and it's exciting.
I get it. Alright, back to the dying kid.
David, thriller movies,
horror films, I'm going to feel
so bad if something happens.
I think you've got to let that go, man.
Alright, here we go.
If something happens to David soon, we're all going to feel very powerful.
Like, you know, we made it happen somehow.
We willed it.
All right, David, your next question.
Keep in mind, every competitor here has one lifeline they can ask the person that they're playing for for some help if you need it.
Your question, David, in the category of horror movies. What actress played Danielle Bowen, the daughter of
Sam in 1991's
Cape Fear?
Was that a bro?
Yeah, there's lots of... I love how
everybody's being verbal. They're not saying
the answer, but they're...
I hope nobody's quoting the
lines of the actress or anything.
Is there steals? Can you steal?
There's no steals in round one.
Keep in mind, competitors can ask for multiple choice
if they want. What?
Oh.
Those rules go by so fast.
I'll do that.
Multiple choice.
Your multiple choice options, is it A, Winona Ryder,
B, Juliette Lewis, C, Samantha Mathis,
or D, Jenny Wright?
Hey, when it's multiple choice,
try not to clap for the one
that you think is the correct answer.
No, that's just a fan of multiple choice.
You know what's fun?
Remember when I asked,
can you steal?
I was like, I know this.
And then all four choices came out
and none of them were the one that I was thinking of.
I'm going to go with whatever C was.
C?
Samantha Mathis is incorrect.
We're looking for Juliette Lewis.
Juliette Lewis, yes.
She's in every movie.
That was one of her first every movies.
She's wonderful.
So now we go back to Nick Rutherford looking to get on the board here
with his category streaming movie.
Wait, so when he got the multiple choice,
that would have knocked him back so he could only get one point
if he answered it?
Yes.
Okay, all right.
I'm clear now.
Nick, don't forget that.
Yeah, I know.
I should go multiple choice next time.
Yeah, you should go for it every time.
Just get it right away.
Don't even wait for it.
Gotcha.
Two to two to zero.
Thank you.
Thank you.
That's a lot of confidence there.
Thank you.
Nick Rutherford, you're up.
And your question for two points.
Multiple choice, please.
Just give me the choices.
Don't even give me the question.
I'm going in fucking blind.
Yeah.
Yeah, Kip.
Don't even want the question.
I'll tell you what.
I'm going to allow this,
but I'm going to give you two points if you get it right.
I'm not asking the question.
We're going to get it right.
Multiple choice without hearing the question.
Right.
Let's see.
I'll try to clap for the answer now.
Wait, what's the category?
Streaming movies.
For those of you listening, Rutherford has gotten out of his chair
and is now pacing on the stage.
Well, I gotta think.
Your options for two points without hearing the question is...
Is it A, Jonathan Majors, B, Lakeith Stanfield,
C, Jovan Adepo,
or D, Michael B. Jordan?
Lakeith Stanfield.
Michael B. B.
Lakeith is B?
Lakeith is B.
That's my guess, too.
Yeah.
You're both wrong.
It was Michael B. Jordan.
No!
What was the question?
Who's better, Michael B. Jordan
or Lakeith Stanfield?
The question was,
who does Mark think has the best abs?
Who plays the lead in the film
without remorse?
What if I phone my friend
for that one?
I fucked up.
You could have, yeah.
Strategy is a big part of this game, Nick,
so try to focus.
Try to...
I don't know.
Kendall keeps bringing me drinks up here.
Back to Tom Cruise movies for Doug.
Oh, here we go.
All right, Doug.
Your next question.
Here we go.
In what 1980s film does Tom Cruise
play a young, cocky character named Vincent Loria?
For a second, I was like, God damn it.
I don't know if I know the names of Tom Cruise characters.
But then I was like, I don't think there's a Tom Cruise character name I wouldn't recognize.
You know what I mean?
Because he's always fucking around with bullshit.
He's stalling.
Repeat the question.
I know all the spelling bee tactics.
All right, so you need the-
I'm going to drag this out until it comes to me.
You need the question twice.
Rutherford didn't even need to hear it.
Yeah.
And see how that worked out?
Kip, you're going to lose today, my friend.
The answer is the Color of Money.
That is correct for two points.
Wow.
All right, Benson takes the lead.
It is four to two.
He even wears a shirt during much of it
that says Vince on it.
That does help.
All right, this one is a toughie for David Sanborn in the category of horror movies.
And here it is.
Just take the multiple choice, man.
In the 2005 film Red Eye, Rachel McAdams' character is threatened that which member of her family will be killed if she doesn't
help in a terrorist plot?
It's...
Wow.
Dang.
The most
supportive audience member. And if I say
multiple choice, it's just gonna be like, her dad,
her brother, her son.
You know how this game is played.
But it would be her dying son, probably.
Which, in that case, it's like, I'm not doing it.
Yeah, that is an interesting one where multiple choice won't really help.
And I haven't seen this movie, but I know this movie.
You've seen it.
You just don't want to admit it.
I'd say guess something.
Yeah.
Her husband. Just take a't want to admit it. I'd say guess something. Yeah.
Her... Just take a swing at one of them.
You were actually right
when you were complaining about multiple choice.
It could be her dad.
It was her dad.
That's correct.
I was going to say dad.
I was going to say dad, Kip.
Because isn't that movie starts off
as a rom-com kind of thing, right?
Yeah, they have kind of a cute camarader a rom-com kind of thing, right?
Yeah, they have a kind of a cute camaraderie.
It's Wes Craven, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
And yeah, Cillian Murphy plays the... I love how you look at me like I've seen all these movies.
Sorry.
Yeah, he's just the host.
You don't have all the information there?
I just write the questions.
I don't have time to watch movies.
Back to Nick Rutherford.
Yeah.
Four to two to zero.
You're with zero.
You can get two points.
If you get this question correct
in the category of streaming movies.
Right.
And here it is.
Let's just make the category be everything
because you have fucked me here, man.
I look like a fool.
To San Diego, the woo-woo thing was fun
and now people are like, who the
fuck is this monkey? And I hate
it. Hey, you're the guy that
recommended the heartwarming story of a guy who
built a tank. Yeah.
Here's your question
in the category of streaming movies. Who plays
Matthew Meyerowitz, the half-brother
of Adam Sandler's Danny, and the
Noah Baumbach-directed The Meyerowitz
Stories? New and selected.
I mean, I know it.
Kip just threw up a C.
He didn't even hear the choices.
I like that we're flying by the seat of our pants, guys.
We're not, we want C.
We don't think we should get the negative points
for the multiple choice.
Whatever C is on your book, that's what we want.
Luckily, I don't have to determine
if the points would be fair or not
because that is incorrect.
You piece of shit.
We're looking for Ben Stiller.
Ben Stiller.
Come on.
The Meyerowitz brothers.
Nobody liked that
question.
Over to Doug Benson, who all of a
sudden can take a commanding lead. He's up
four to two.
What's the third guy have?
The third guy is not on stage.
So we just have
Doug and David here.
My co-host, Nick.
Right.
Who is a wonderful panel moderator, I should point out.
He's not being vindicated in movie trivia necessarily, but he's here.
Tom Cruise is your category, Doug.
Are you ready for your next question?
Any time now.
For two more points.
Here it is.
Do it.
What 2010's Tom Cruise-led action film features supporting performances from Jessica Stroop,
Robert Knepper, and Kobe Smulders?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay.
Oh!
Oh!
You do have multiple choices.
Yeah, that's an interesting one.
I like the commanding lead part.
You could just say a letter.
But I also...
You could just say one of the early letters.
I'm just trying to think of what kind of worthless part Colby had in a Tom Cruise.
I'm going to go ahead and guess.
Right?
Should I guess?
Yeah.
I mean, you're winning.
Minority report.
Looking for Jack Reacher.
Never go back.
Jack-er.
Yeah.
The Jack-er.
The Jack-er.
I should have gone multiple choice.
Yeah, she was like the, yeah, Colby was in that.
I'm glad you didn't just guess Jack Reacher,
because it was Jack Reacher, Never Go Back, the sequel.
Oh, that's a tough one with the titles.
You wouldn't have counted that.
Yeah, that would have been tougher.
Yeah, I might not have gone for the sequel.
That would have hurt more.
The thing you love about Jack Reacher, he never goes back.
Forgets his wallet at Chili's, he's got to get a new wallet.
Never goes back. Davidgets his wallet at Chili's, he's got to get a new wallet. Never goes back.
David, you're up.
You can tie Doug Benson with the lead if you get this question.
Oh, go David.
And Dave, this could be your legacy.
Thanks, brah.
All right.
In the category of thriller slash horror movies,
what actor was featured in the films The Fugitive, The Hunted, and Double Jeopardy?
This is a cocky crowd.
Multiple choice.
All right, your four options for a point.
Is it A, Harrison Ford, B, Woody Harrelson,
C, Tommy Lee Jones, or D, Joe Pantoliona?
Ooh.
Okay.
I don't think it's right.
That's the confidence we need right now.
Can you repeat the options one more time?
I can give you the options one more time.
Is it A. Harrison Ford, B. Woody Harrelson, C, Tommy Lee Jones,
or D, Joey Pants?
Just whatever he says,
give it to him.
I'm going to go D.
Remember when they were
getting correct answers before?
Yeah, yeah.
That is incorrect.
Looking for Tommy Lee Jones.
It fucking was Tommy Lee Jones.
Tommy Lee Jones.
And against all odds,
Nick Rutherford's still
in the ballgame here.
So I need a two at least, right?
It would help if you got a two.
Okay, Kip.
It would really help if you got a two.
Let's just throw this shit away again.
Okay?
All right.
You're not Kip.
Here is your question.
And again, reminder to the audience, please don't whisper if you think you know the correct answer.
Or yell it.
Or don't even.
Don't matter to me.
Who starred in and directed the Netflix science fiction film
The Midnight Sky?
Right.
Ooh.
I love that Nick passed all these movies on his way to watch Tread.
What if he asked his lifeline?
Wait, is Midnight Sky about that little boy who has powers?
Well, first of all, you can't ask any questions.
I'm just talking.
It's not a question.
You can't ask anybody anything about what's happening.
You can only just answer the question.
You can't ask Kip how he feels about it.
You just have to go to him for help.
I have a question.
I have a question.
As the former host of this question, I have a question. As the former host of this question,
I have a good question.
Doug, I will honor your question.
Now I'm going to forget what it was.
After all that buildup.
If he says, I want my lifeline,
the lifeline doesn't know it,
then do they get multiple choice or is it dead in the water?
I'll give the lifeline multiple choice.
Y'all are working together on the question once you initiate the question.
I think I'm going to go multiple choice before the lifeline.
No, no, but you can get the lifeline and see if he knows it right now.
I saw his eyes.
He doesn't know shit.
He made a good poster.
That's it.
I don't think that motherfucker's ever seen a movie.
It was a striptease poster.
Kip Tease was pretty good.
He saw that and he was like, I'm done.
Your multiple choice options for the question,
who starred and directed the Netflix science fiction film
The Midnight Sky?
Is it A, George Clooney, B, Matt Damon,
C, Brad Pitt, or D, John Krasinski?
Okay, I know this.
Who is it?
Yeah. Just say it.
Um, I...
Wait.
I know it's not Krasinski.
This is fun. Let's narrow it down.
Uh, we said Brad Pitt was one of them?
A, George Clooney, B, Matt Damon,
C, Brad Pitt. A, George Clooney.
Nick Rutherford is on the board
everybody
they saved the best woos
yeah where my
San Diego wooers at
yeah
oh no
oh my god Kendall let's do it again another round oh shit a wooer's at. Yeah. Oh, no. Oh, my God.
Kendall, let's do it again.
Another round.
Oh, shit.
All right.
How we doing on time, Mark?
I was going to say,
not to dampen the woos,
but in the interest of time
and my own sanity,
this is going to be the round
that determines the match.
We have 12 minutes.
Over to Doug Benson,
who still has the lead.
It is four to two to one.
Okay.
Doug categories Tom Cruise movies.
Right.
And your next question is...
Uh-huh.
Who directed Tom Cruise in the 2013 film Oblivion?
Oh.
The crowd is allowed to say, oh, shit.
Oblivion.
Oblivion.
I'll go multiple.
All right, multiple choice options for a point.
Is it A, Christopher McQuarrie, B, Tony Scott,
C, Joseph Kaczynski, or D, Doug Liman?
Those are all made up names.
Goddamn. I just
I'm not absolutely sure.
Nick Rutherford has guessed George Clooney.
Let me hear the names one more time. Is it A.
Christopher McQuarrie, B. Tony Scott,
C. Joseph Kaczynski, or D. Doug
Lyman? It's C. Joseph
Kaczynski. Doug Benson has another point,
and it is five to two to one.
So we go back to the young man
who's going to live a long and happy life.
No, we established that that's not going to happen.
Category is thriller slash horror movies, David.
All right.
And your question for two points.
David, does it feel good to have a category
that's actually a category?
I want you to tell me.
Well, see, I think mine's actually broader
than the two of yours.
You would, because you have a different perspective
because you're on Heaven's Gate.
I go...
Like, the next round, can you switch up our things
so he can stop complaining about streaming?
I would if we had time, but we don't,
so it's the only round.
Sorry to interrupt.
Sorry, Nick. I tried for you.
I appreciate that.
These aren't exactly brain busters
I've been asking in streaming.
No.
Your question in the category of horror slash thriller,
which 1990s thriller
features the line,
we see a deadly sin on every street corner in every
home and we tolerate it?
Repeat the question.
Oh my.
What's that? Can you repeat the question? I can repeat
the question. Is that just cops in general?
Just like... Which
1990s thriller has the line
we see a deadly sin on every street corner
in every home and we tolerate it?
It's a deadly what?
Sin. Sin. Oh.
Man, this guy's obsessed
with death.
Multiple choice.
Is it A. Fallen, B. The Silence of the Lambs,
C. Copycat, or D. Seven?
I mean... it would have to be Seven.
Seven is correct.
Okay.
And that's a point.
The movie about SIDS.
The Seven, the SIDS, right.
Yeah, yeah. That's how point. The movie about SIDS. The seven SIDS, right. Yeah, yeah.
That's how games work sometimes.
You figure it out, you get the right answer.
Move on!
It is five to three to one.
And no more going yay before he says correct or not.
Five to three to one.
We go to Nick Rutherford.
Nick, you selected streaming movies.
That's correct.
It was your choice.
That was my choice.
I wanted the entirety of the internet to be
my subject.
Everything that's digital.
I said anything that's digital, put it on the
board. Alright.
Your question in the category of streaming movies.
Give it to me. What Ocean's Eleven filmmaker
Directed Netflix's High Flying Bird
And HBO Max's Kimmy
Perfect
I am going to phone my friend Kip
Alright Kip
You big dummy
Wait Kip we can right, Kip, you big dummy.
Wait, Kip, we can also go for multiple choice unless you know it.
You can after he tells us who it is.
Give him a chance.
Oh, really?
Oh, he's just giving me a suggestion.
All right, Kip.
I see.
I'm going to repeat the question for you.
What Ocean's Eleven filmmaker directed Netflix's
High Flying Bird and HBO Max's Kimmy?
When we say filmmaker...
Hey, hey, hey, let him answer the question.
For fuck's sake, there's no more
asking questions about the question.
Could it be a line producer?
Don't know. It could be what is the answer
to the question you just asked.
Could it be a second AD?
Seriously, Nick. Please.
Let the fucking guy answer the fucking
question. Because he doesn't
even know what I've been. Look at his stupid face.
He doesn't know.
Kip, do you know it? I can't see
his stupid face in the dark.
Kip has no idea.
They all look really smart from here
to me. He said multiple choice.
Oh, he's going multiple choice. Alright. That's what he
offered. Alright. Your multiple choice options are. That was going multiple choice. All right. That's what he offered.
All right.
Your multiple choice options are.
It could have
been ten fucking
minutes ago.
A, Tom Hooper.
Get a finger on
Nick's mic and
pot it down when
it's not his turn.
Is it A, Tom
Hooper, B, Danny
Boyle, C, Steven
Soderbergh, or D,
Damien Chazelle?
I think that
would be my
main man,
Soderbergh.
That is correct.
That's correct.
You see how easy it is
if you just get it the fuck over with?
Five to three to two.
We go to Doug Benson,
who inadvertently selected Tom Cruise movies
for his questioning.
I didn't mean to.
All right.
Doug Benson currently in the lead
and looking to keep it that way.
Here is your next question in the category
of Tom Cruise movies. What actor
co-starred in and directed
the 2007 drama Lions
for Lambs?
What actor?
What actor co-starred
and directed the 2007
drama Lions for Lambs?
I didn't realize he directed it because it's boring as all get out.
And I think he's really cool, but I'm going to say Robert Redford.
Robert Redford is correct for two points.
Seven to three to two.
And now here's where we stand.
We're at the final question, time permitting, for each competitor.
Here's what you're going to do.
You're going to tell me if you want an easy one, a medium one, or a hard one.
The point value is going to be two points for an easy one,
three points for a medium one, or five points for a hard one.
And we go to...
Was that a sound effect, or was that the actual thing that just happened?
That was really cool.
We really all just gasped.
All right, we go to David Sanborn.
That is an exciting development.
Do you want a two-pointer, a three-pointer, or a five-pointer?
Five.
I've got...
Shush, shush.
It's his decision.
Let him, dying man, decide.
What do you want for your last meal?
I gave him a steak.
Shut up!
It's three to two to five, right?
Seven.
Seven?
Yeah.
Oh, I gotta go five, then. Yes, you do. You gotta go five, right? Seven. Seven? Yeah. Oh, I gotta go five then.
Yes, you do.
Gotta go five.
Yes, you do.
All right.
It's a hard one.
Yeah, yeah.
Here it is.
Maybe you've seen this film.
In the murder mystery, The Watcher,
Keanu Reeves plays a serial killer
who plays retired FBI agent Joel Campbell.
Is there multiple choice of this or no?
You cannot have multiple choice.
Oh, shit.
The Watcher, Keanu Reeves, he kills people.
Who would fight Keanu Reeves?
As an FBI agent, so we know it's not Nathan Fillion.
As an FBI agent!
It could be the other rookie.
Thanks for remembering.
I'm going to go.
No pressure, but this is actually the final question of the match because Nick Rutherford cannot win.
Okay.
Why do we say that?
Why do we say that?
You can tie.
You can tie. I do we say that? You can tie. You can tie.
I'm gonna go...
Tommy Lee Jones.
Oh, that's fun. You should've... He's got a face for it. If only you answered that
three questions ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We're looking for James Spader.
Oh. And with that,
David Sanborn has been eliminated
from the game, but not from life.
He's still here, guys.
He's still with us.
For a small window.
Thank you, David.
Still here.
And now we go to young Nick Rutherford.
Yes.
Who's had an interesting match thus far.
Five points.
You want the five-pointer?
Yeah.
I mean, what else are we doing here?
All right.
This is San Diego.
We woo-woo and we go hard.
I feel like if he gets this one right, Doug,
he should get, like, 20 points.
What documentary about a man with a tank?
And I actually think you should give me an easier question
because I'm fucking dumb.
I wish I could see you on a game show, Nick.
I love the concept of a game show guest
who negotiates their way through the entire thing.
Like, yeah, but what if we do it this way?
The Hagler.
What if, here I got it, Price is right,
what if I take the Plinko chip
and throw it from across the room?
Why can't I do that, Drew?
Why can't I do that?
People would talk about it.
All right.
For five points.
Yeah.
And the tie.
The question to Rutherford is...
Kip, get your phone out.
You can just look this shit up.
What 2019...
He's not your lifeline anymore.
No, I know.
You can just text it to me.
It's fine.
No, don't text it to him.
Three minutes left.
God, I hope you don't get this right.
Write it on the notepad and make it really large.
I'll just see it.
What 2019 Netflix film features performances
from Kristen Ritter, Robert Forster,
Jesse Plemons, and Bryan Cranston?
Oh, I don't know.
I don't think I know the answer.
Oh, that's going to be bad for you.
Wait, give me the names again?
I'm going to give you the names again.
Yeah, please, please.
Quick, we're running out of time.
2019 Netflix film features performances
from Kristen Ritter, Robert Forster,
Jesse Plemons, and Bryan Cranston.
Okay, so that is going to be
the spinoff show,
the spinoff movie,
which is going to,
it's got a weird name.
And it's got a weird name. And it's got a weird name,
and if somebody just wrote it down on their phone
and showed it to me, it would help.
I have 15 seconds on the clock.
Right, right, right.
I know, I know.
How long is it going to take?
You do it in 15 seconds?
10 seconds.
I don't think Kip can, no.
No.
He also did a C backwards, so.
Five seconds. Children of our fathers. No, it's did a C backwards, so. Five seconds.
Children of our fathers.
No, it's not that. I'm kidding.
That was a great guess.
Incorrect.
We were looking for Al Camino, and with that, Doug Benson has won.
Wait a second.
Wait a second.
We still got time on the clock.
Give me a finishing move.
Give me a five-pointer.
I want to go out.
I want to go.
The slowdown is ending. I want to have out. I want to go. The slowdown is ending.
I want to have another victory before it's over.
All right.
Now, if you really want to show off, do you want to stick in the category of Tom Cruise
or do you want a random category?
No, let's stick with Tom Cruise.
He's got me this far.
All right.
Tom Cruise.
So Doug Benson.
He brought me to the dance.
He twirled me around, and now we're going to go home.
Do you want an easy one, a medium one, or a hard one?
I want the hardest one.
The hardest Tom Cruise.
Alright.
Here
we go. I want a Tom Cruise question
not even Iceman could melt.
What?
Here's your question.
What film marks Tom Cruise's
feature film
debut?
Oh, no.
Fuck, you don't know this?
I mean, I have endless love for the man.
He got it!
But that is the answer.
It is endless love.
Endless love.
Doug Benson, 12 points.
Tom Cruise as car accident victim,
or she fucks him or something.
I forget what.
It's something to do with his toe or something.
Anyway, endless love.
He plays a character named David Sanborn in the movie?
Is that how it goes?
No, no, no, no.
So we did it, Home Improvement.
I won for you.
Congratulations.
Yeah, any way you can get to that.
Oh, she can come get it.
She can get it.
There you go.
Be careful.
It's heavy.
Congratulations.
Oh, man.
All right.
Mark Ellis, dangling champion.
And maybe, you know, maybe every time you come back, I'll forget to have lost my notes.
I will bring my phone.
Because that was super fun.
What would you like to plug, sir?
You can just find the movie trivia shmoen.
I don't think we gave that enough publicity today.
So fall tour dates at MarkEllis.live.
Right on, Mark Ellis.
Back on the show soon.
Yes, and thanks to the great crowds here in San Diego.
I'll let Nick do the woos, but thank you, Doug, for having me.
Thanks, American Comedy Company,
and thank all your listeners across the world.
That's his statement.
No take-backs.
Nick Rutherford.
Yeah, whoa!
I don't know.
I think my favorite thing I do
is a show called Dream Corp LLC.
You can watch it on Hulu.
That's all I care about, really.
Watch it on Hulu.
Dream Corp.
Thank you, guys.
Watch it.
Is that a streaming service?
Absorb it.
Yeah, everything is basically
a streaming service now,
so I got fucked.
And Kip knows it.
Everybody in this room knows it.
It's a more narrow question than other movie
categories because it has
only been streaming for seven years and it's just stuff
for streaming. They're not going to ask you about
all the other movies streaming show
that they just pulled from.
So that was the category.
Because you can watch Day of the Condor
and that was made in the 70s
or something.
Right, that's not in there just because it's on cable, just because it's on streaming.
That wouldn't be a question.
Look, I don't want to argue this anymore with you.
Let's take this shit outside.
One more time also for David Sanborn, everybody!
Everybody say goodbye to David!
Goodbye, David. Goodbye, David. Good luck in the new world. everybody say goodbye to David goodbye David
goodbye David
good luck in the new world
of Florida
and
don't forget to write
and you know I can still go do a show
in Florida maybe that David could be a guest on
you never know
you never know
I'm not going to plug anything other than to say
that American Comedy Company
and San Diego
and the people who come to these shows
here are never
not a delight. I always have
such a good time.
I don't have another date here on the books
but I usually do shows here around Christmas
time, Thanksgiving maybe.
More likely Christmas time this year, but whenever
I come down here, you guys show up.
And also, I didn't mean to say you guys.
That's a microaggression. You fuckers, you
show up.
I appreciate it.
And one more time for all my guests today.
Nick Rutherford.
Mark Ellis.
B. David Sanborn.
As always, I don't even,
I wrote down a last line from a movie to say today.
It was the last line from Superman.
I thought that was appropriate for Comic-Con.
It was the Christopher Reeve line.
And he says something like,
Ow, my neck.
That's okay, ma'am.
Hit that theme song, please!
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,
cause Doug loves
movies!
