Doug Plugs, Saturday, February 10th, Douglas Movies is back at Gassy Helium in Portland, Oregon at 420. Wednesday, February 14th, it's the annual Valentine's Day show at the American Comedy Company in Sweet Home San Diego. And I've got shows
Starting point is 00:02:25 in different area codes coming up in Denver, Tempe, New Orleans, Sacramento, Chico, that's on 420, Indianapolis, Rosamond, Illinois, Lexington, Kentucky, and more. For all my dates, deets, and links
Starting point is 00:02:42 go to Douglovesmovies.com That's Douglovesmoovies.com. That's DougLovesMovies.com! Yeah! Okay, that whole thing was off. Like, are you ever watching cable TV in your hotel room and the lips don't match the words and you're like, what do I do to fix this?
Starting point is 00:03:00 The answer's nothing. From the corrections department, Tom Hanks pees for longer than 21 seconds in a league of their own. The actual length of time he pees is 51 seconds. Yeah, never trust the internet. I guess I saw a clip on YouTube that was shortened. Here's the prize bag.
Starting point is 00:03:20 I just got back from Las Vegas yesterday, so it's a bag from the good old Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. It's always a nice time. Oh, shit. But I got a Douglas Movies t-shirt, a hat that says SP on it, and that stands
Starting point is 00:03:38 for Sexed Panther. So, look that up if you want. Find out what that's all about. And then, oh, a guy up in san francisco comes to a lot of shows uh he gave me this uh it's a d a blu-ray it's the 30th anniversary of a movie called you're the hunter from the future so i'm giving that away and uh of course a beautiful uh christmas bong uh yeah i got enough of these to give away at every show for the whole year. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Starting point is 00:04:12 And then, finally, I was grocery shopping today, and I saw this, and I had to buy one to put in the prize bag. It's a toothbrush that makes Star Wars noises, and this one is dedicated to the character of Rey. I can do this. I can do this. What a weird-ass attitude about brushing your teeth. I can do this. I can do this. Don't give up hope.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Your teeth aren't completely fucked. We're not done yet. Man, she wants you to just brush your teeth for fucking ever. That's not cool, Ray. All right, so all that's going to the prize bag, plus stuff brought by my three guests tonight, who are... Uh-oh, Ray's still going on. No? Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:19 It says there's like a minute of light and sound. I guess to get kids to brush their teeth for a minute. You're welcome. She talks you through brushing your teeth and then there's a real asshole about it.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Oh, shit. All right, let's get them out here. Please give a big warm welcome to Mark Ellis, Jacob Searoff, and Sam the Ma'am Levine, a.k.a. a.k.A. Lil' Logan or Laura.
Starting point is 00:06:11 That's the name of the little girl in Logan. I'm going to veto that one. Okay. All right, Laura. There it is. He was Lil' Snubbed. Logan was snubbed. No, not me.
Starting point is 00:06:26 No, I'm an award winner. He wasn't snubbed. He got nominated for Best Screenplay. That's pretty high up there in the nominations. I wish Patrick Stewart had gotten nominated. I wish the kid, too. Yeah, that's a tough one, because people don't think kids have mixed opinions about kids' performances in movies, like
Starting point is 00:06:41 that girl Brooklyn Prince in Florida Project. Some people don't think that's acting when you just coerce a child that young into just doing stuff but but I think phrasing I thought she was pretty good yes stuff happens in that movie oh I know it shouldn't happen to children no but anyway thanks for being here guys this is a basically a rematch of an episode we did in San Diego one time where these three guys
Starting point is 00:07:12 really went after each other who won that one? I believe I did and it was contentious yeah I think it was controversial I think Jacob Seroff answered a question inaccurately and then got upset
Starting point is 00:07:26 that you called him out on being inaccurate. Like, he answered like a movie that didn't come out yet. It was like coming out Oh, that is always controversial. That was actually on 12 Guests. No, what happened was
Starting point is 00:07:37 Sam's brother yelled out something. But it was an entirely new, so that wasn't, it didn't change anything. For me. All right, fellas. I'm glad we're bringing you back together to settle this. Vow to inspire that.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Yeah. But let's meet everybody individually, starting with the man to my left. Mark Ellis is here, everybody. Happy New Year, Doug. Good to be back. Good to have you back. And what have you got there for the prize bag?
Starting point is 00:08:09 This is courtesy. Half-finished beer? Of my good friend. This is from me. And then my good friend Danny Fernandez provided a pop-ish toy of Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z. There you go. All right. Some people are excited about that.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I really hope one of those seven people wins. Yeah. You either know what Dragon Ball Z is or you have no idea what it is. And I'm in the latter, to be honest with you. But if you listen to the opening theme music, the guitar kicks ass. All right. It's in the bag. I feel like I'm slowly watching him be cremated or something.
Starting point is 00:08:47 You put it in there and you looked really sad. I crushed it a little bit on the way in. Oh, shit. Oh, my God. People are so concerned about Ray. The Ray toothbrush. Jacob Searoff is here everybody He brought his foreman's lunch
Starting point is 00:09:14 Yeah So everybody could stop writing to me On Twitter saying It just went on for weeks I don't want a year off of Searoff Alright we decided that weeks ago Some people wanted a year off of Syroff. All right, we decided that weeks ago. Some people wanted a year off. So there were definitely some that wanted it.
Starting point is 00:09:29 And, you know, they can read. So they'll see your name in the description of this show and then skip this one. And, you know. I don't miss them. I really don't because I have no idea who they are. I don't see the exact numbers. If I saw the numbers dip
Starting point is 00:09:45 precipitously every time you're on, then I'd rethink this whole letting you back on the show. I made a list. Every December, I think we should have everybody vote whether or not the next year is a year off of syrup. It was interesting. You find out who you are when you
Starting point is 00:10:01 become a hashtag. You do? Yeah. People really feel the need to let you know stuff about yourself. But it was mostly positive, I think, and that's a great thing. What'd you bring for the prize bag? Okay, this, well, part of the bag is part of it. Friends of the show, Sean,
Starting point is 00:10:17 by saying Sacamay, is that how they say it? Sacamay? Sacamay, okay. Oh, I'm glad I knew that. And his brother Darryl works for the Barefoot Company, so this is like some wine cooler bag thing. Okay. But I'm glad I knew that. His brother Darryl works for the Barefoot Company, so this is like some wine cooler bag thing. But I brought other stuff in it. I did this cheat that I've done before where I had my kids do art. But I think it's really cool.
Starting point is 00:10:33 And they just whipped this up today. What are they now, 17 and 22? Right, exactly. Well, this is my son's. It's cute, whatever. He's seven. Who cares? But my daughter actually did a really good job objectively like, objectively, I think. And this is, like, pretty cool, I think. She did this, like, on, like, pencil.
Starting point is 00:10:52 She's definitely got more talent than the boy. She's 13. She's 13. That seems like cheating. So she's a grown Jewish man now. Oh, and I also brought this cool comic book. This is a Marvel Universe, the official handbook. This is a 1985. Remember before Wikipedia, we had this? It's brought this cool comic book. There's a Marvel Universe, the official handbook.
Starting point is 00:11:05 There's a 1985. Remember before Wikipedia, we had this. It's not a real comic book. It just has a bunch of characters and their descriptions and their origins. And I thought it was cool because Black Panther's in this one.
Starting point is 00:11:14 So I brought that. Nice timing. That's topical. And there's a bunch of cool Marvel characters. There's Captain America and that other guy. But then just Satan
Starting point is 00:11:23 is hanging out there. I don't know the Marvel Universe as well, but Satan is hanging out there. I don't know the Marvel universe as well, but Satan is just on the, I guess he's in the, I'm waiting for that movie. Like Devilman or something. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:11:32 Devilman. All right, so do we get that bag? Yeah, in the bag. All right, so put all this shit back in. All right,
Starting point is 00:11:37 all right. So the daughter has great artistic, I mean, that's Doug Benson, that's a camera. This, and it might be my Star Wars brain, this looks like Kylo Ren
Starting point is 00:11:44 meeting evil BB-8 for the very first time. Get ready! I don't understand. Like, how would, I wouldn't take toothbrushing advice from a British person in the first place. She's not British. She's from a different galaxy.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Wow, that was a nice little exchange between her and BB or something. Alright, give me that stuff. That funky stuff. And what do you... Oh, Sam Levine is here, everybody. Thank you. Hello! Hello!
Starting point is 00:12:23 Doug, I've been trying to clean out this TV screeners box that I've had in my home now for two years, and no matter how many of these I give away, it seems like the box is replicating itself when I leave it alone. So I'm just going to roll through a bunch of TV titles that I know you guys are excited to have DVDs of, which is the preferred way to watch television shows nowadays.
Starting point is 00:12:49 So here we go. You're going to get episodes of Billions, The Affair, Rectify, House of Cards, The Good Wife, Madam Secretary, Jane the Virgin, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, a couple shows called Younger, Impaster, Lopez, Teachers, and then from the Epix Network, Graves, starring Nick Nolte. And some show called Berlin that I don't know anything about or anyone who's on. But these 10 one-hour episodes were filmed in Berlin, Germany, and the Canary Islands, Spain. So watch it just for the locales, folks.
Starting point is 00:13:26 There you go. I think it's called Berlin Station. You're right. It is Berlin Station. You know I love a full title. I know you do. I love how you just put so much bread in that house of cards sandwich.
Starting point is 00:13:38 Like, let's just not acknowledge this one. I'm not touching that one. You pass that one. Yeah, what do you do with You know the Previous episodes Of House of Cards Do you just never
Starting point is 00:13:50 Watch them ever again Because of Kevin Spacey Well at least we don't Have to watch Superman Returns Ever again Whoa Yeah
Starting point is 00:13:58 Shots fired Yeah And Singer Fuck both those guys Alright I'd rather not But I get where you're coming from
Starting point is 00:14:09 So And fuck Wilmer Valderrama Right? Wait what did he do? Nah he's in the movie He's great He's just hot He's in Superman Returns?
Starting point is 00:14:21 Yeah Where does he play? He just hangs out there For a minute No that's I think you're That's Cal Penn you racist No Wilmer's in it too Returns? Yeah Where does he play? He just hangs out there For a minute No that's I think you're That's Cal Penn you racist No Wilmer's in it too

Starting point is 00:14:38 Yeah Saw Blue Crush She's hitting on a bunch Of surfer kids I don't know Alright The Oscar nominations Came out Saw Blue Crush. He's hitting on a bunch of surfer kids. I don't know. All right. The Oscar nominations came out.
Starting point is 00:14:52 And as we mentioned earlier, Jacob is sad for the millionaires who made Logan. But I just wanted to go down the line and ask each of you, starting, let's go positive to begin with. What was your favorite, like, what are you rooting for to win now that it's been nominated? What do you think, Mark? Now that it's been nominated, I am rooting for The Shape of Water to win Best Picture. I think that'd be a really cool best picture because it combines a lot of different genres, Doug. You got some sci-fi, you got some political intrigue,
Starting point is 00:15:29 romance, drama, comedy. She has sex with a fish guy. Zany. Well, first of all, that's not a very nice way to describe Michael Shannon, but also... Like, Michael Shannon's sex scene with his wife where she like just pulls out a tit for no reason. Guillermo's got some fucked up ideas and he put a lot of them in that movie. It's like it's a fairy tale with just very disturbing elements.
Starting point is 00:15:58 And I love all of it. You know what would be a great supercut is who's the worst lover, Michael Shannon or the fish? Because Michael Shannon's been there before. He just is like a dick about it. And the fish is like, this is all new to me. I might come, but I'm better than Michael Shannon. I don't know. I've got hidden genitalia.
Starting point is 00:16:15 I'm in a bathtub. It's weird. I can't breathe. I'm worried that most people haven't seen The Shape of Water. Guys, this is all in the movie so if you haven't seen it get on it
Starting point is 00:16:30 yeah it's a it's a wild movie I don't want to see it anymore oh it's a good performance oh you haven't seen it yet
Starting point is 00:16:36 no but oh dude I knew about this I heard Guillermo on NPR yeah it's not one you can take your kids to really
Starting point is 00:16:41 no so what they're begging me what are you rooting for to win i'm going for ladybird that's mine that you want to win best picture yeah i'd like to see it when it's anything it's nominated for yeah well it's i think it's like once in a generation good yeah but unfortunately you know that everybody's super into that three billboards outside of
Starting point is 00:17:00 missouri or missouri depending on when you're talking. When you're Francis McDormand or not. Yeah, exactly. But she got... When they announced, Tiffany Haddish did the announcements with Andy Serkis, and she kept saying Missouri,
Starting point is 00:17:16 and then he finally said it her way once. Yep. And I was like, good for her. She got that British fuck to fall in line. That's right. Yeah, that white piece of shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:29 But yeah, Lady Bird is the single best reviewed motion picture to come out last year, according to Rotten Tomatoes. It could happen. Yeah, I mean... I wouldn't bet on it, but it could. Three Billboards really seems to have the momentum,
Starting point is 00:17:45 but, you know, yeah, it could be... I mean, Get Out is another strong possibility to take Best Picture, just because it's just a fantastic movie at a perfect time. I think screenplay for that. Yeah? All right.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Sam? Well, I'm going to do a different category. I'm going to say that I'm hopeful that Gary Oldman finally wins an Oscar. Yeah, I mean, he's deserved it a million times. A million times. This is only his second nomination ever, which is shocking. Yeah, well, he got four nominations for Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy. But I get your point.
Starting point is 00:18:29 I mean, when you play all four of those characters you know they all deserve sure but um yeah he's amazing in darkest hour like yeah i i the the makeup is very well done but also the lighting is very dark i think it's called darkest hour so that you can't see absolutely his makeup but even beyond the makeup, though, he really is gone. And it's fun. Well, he's gone, but it's also fun to see Gary Oldman in there. Like you see glimmers of the crazy Sid and Nancy Gary Oldman in his eyes and stuff. But yeah, he's great in it. He's so good.
Starting point is 00:19:00 He's won every other award, so he seems to be one of the biggest locks of the night. I'd say him, McDormand, and Allison Janney are probably the easiest to predict. Yeah, and Sam Rockwell seems like... And Rockwell. He seems very due. Keep pushing that three billboards agenda, Benson. I was... I don't, you know...
Starting point is 00:19:20 I'm not a huge fan. There's some people that aren't that crazy about it. I prefer, you know, when it comes to Martin McDonough, I like Imbrugge much better. Way better. But Imbrugge was, you know, mostly overlooked. I think it might have gotten a screenplay nomination maybe. But, all right, so now let's get to the snubs, guys, because I know Jacob has one.
Starting point is 00:19:39 Mark, what's your biggest snub? What one thing, what one performance or technical thing didn't get nominated? I think my biggest snub would have to be Wes Studi for Hostiles. Really? Yeah. Hostiles in general. I've heard it's good. I haven't seen it yet.
Starting point is 00:19:56 It's great, man. It's a really good movie, but they made the movie and it came out in time for Oscar consideration and then the studio was like, eh, Native Americans aren't tracking well right now. So they just didn't put it out in time. They didn't put the money behind the campaign. And so then the movie comes out. A lot of people saw it last weekend. It made $10 million in its big opening release,
Starting point is 00:20:16 and Wes Studi is so good in it. He's been such a great actor for a long time. He doesn't get a lot of roles. I mean, he's not getting offered a lot of stuff. He knocks this one out of the park. And I think that if the Academy gave it more consideration, he would have been nominated for Best Supporting Actor. And I'm also pissed Coco didn't get Best Picture.
Starting point is 00:20:34 It got Best Animated, but you can't tell me that the phantom that Daniel Day-Lewis is better at sewing clothes is better than Coco. Oh, but he sews a little secret into each of his garments. I got a bridge Only he knows about it. Mm-mm.
Starting point is 00:20:51 Yeah, I mean, Phantom Thread was not for me, but, you know, I could see the, I could see why people like it. You know, it's very,
Starting point is 00:21:00 it's intense in its own way, but boring to me. It felt like it was two and a half hours, and I'm talking about the trailer, Doug. Boom. Jacob, is it still you sticking with Logan? Yeah, I think as much as I want to go with the kid,
Starting point is 00:21:22 I think Logan, Best Picture, deserved a Best Picture nomination. Yeah, that's, you know, that's always rough. I mean, it's happened want to go with the kid, I think Logan best picture deserved a best picture nomination. Yeah. That's, that's, you know, that's always rough. I mean, it's happened over the years, you know,
Starting point is 00:21:28 like star Wars was nominated for best picture. Raiders was nominated for best picture. Jaws was, it happens, but, uh, but, uh,
Starting point is 00:21:37 man, I remember when avatar came out, how mad people got at me for not liking it. And then it has taken such a short amount of time for no one to be mad about it anymore. Like, you can talk all the shit you want about Avatar, and no one's like, hey, man! There's one guy somewhere.
Starting point is 00:21:53 Yeah, probably. But Avatar, that was 2009, right? That was the first year they did 10 nominees. Maybe, yeah. Because 2008 was the Dark Knight, and everybody was losing their shit over it, so that's why the Academy changed to 10. Right. So that's how it Academy changed to 10. Right.
Starting point is 00:22:05 So that's why. That's how it snuck in there. Got to get that popular movie in there. Plus, they want people to watch, so they want your avatars and titanics to get nominated. It's good for the business. Yeah. I thought Coco was so-so. Whoa!
Starting point is 00:22:17 Yeah. That's a... They set themselves up for that one. Right. But really, you just didn't get into it? No, no. Because of your hatred of Mexicans? Stop. I'm a boxing fan. one right but uh really you just didn't get into it do you just because no no it was mexicans stop i'm a boxing fan of course i love mexicans um like watching them beat the out of each other
Starting point is 00:22:34 they're the best at it um they really are but uh uh no i just it's fine it was like a solid b plus i see all the pixar stuff with my kids i love i like pixar i just didn't think it was one of the special ones you saw with your kids i saw with one of my kids. I like Pixar. I just didn't think it was one of the special ones. You saw it with your kids? I saw it with one of my kids. See, there you go. And the same problem you had, because you guys saw it in the theater, and you guys had to trudge through the 25-minute Olaf thing.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Dude, I went to a theater and watched the Olaf thing and then left. I've never seen Coco, because they announced they were going to pull the Olaf thing because people were hating it so much, and I wanted to see it, so I went before they pulled it. And I'm still going to see Coco. Of course I'm going to see it. But I'm curious, Jacob, though. It didn't make you cry at all?
Starting point is 00:23:16 They say it's as emotional as other Pixar movies. It wasn't for me, but yeah. Not like Inside Out or what's the other? Boy, that second Toy Story when that Randy Newman song comes on and Sarah McLachlan
Starting point is 00:23:30 sings it. I fucking lose it every time. Or Up. The first five minutes of Up. Hey kids, before the house
Starting point is 00:23:36 with balloons, cancer. Yeah, that sucked. Yeah, it's pretty brutal. In a good way. Can you imagine if Bambi's mom died in the first five minutes
Starting point is 00:23:44 of Bambi? Doesn't she? Yeah. Does she? Yeah, I think it happens right away. Ladies and gentlemen, Bambi. I don't watch anime, but I haven't seen Bambi since I'm four. I thought it happened closer to the middle of the movie.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Same for Nemo. She goes pretty quick. Yeah, a lot of them have death pretty early on so then the rest of the movie can be happy. You can She goes pretty quick. Yeah, yeah. A lot of them have death pretty early on so that then the rest of the movie can be happy. Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Then you can have Ellen. It doesn't end with a death.
Starting point is 00:24:09 Dumbo gets pulled from his mother in the first three minutes. That's real sad. That's the worst one. Well, that's just called birth. No, no. The stork from his mother.
Starting point is 00:24:18 The elephant's made up in the sky. Drops down. Dumbo's mom adopts this thing that the stork dropped off and then they go away and then the mom rocks him because the mom's in jail.
Starting point is 00:24:27 She takes her mama trunk and she rocks Dumbo one more time before she never... I'm crying right now, Doug. Jesus. She's never gonna see it again. You are pretty goddamn intense about Dumbo. Do you just... Do you avert your eyes when you go walk by the ride at Disneyland? Have a mental breakdown?
Starting point is 00:24:45 Sam, what's your big snub? My big snub is, he probably wouldn't win, because it does look like Sam Rockwell's going to take that one, but Michael Stuhlbarg for Call Me By Your Name. Right, it's pretty amazing. He doesn't have any heavy scenes, but that one scene where he's just sitting there really talking about... That's pretty heavy, yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Yeah, but you know what I mean? He's such a compelling and great actor... So good. ...that it almost feels almost too easy. Like, he doesn't... You know what I mean? He doesn't... Like, the kid that stars in the movie,
Starting point is 00:25:12 Timothy Chalamet, has to fucking cry into the camera for the entire end credits. And I'm watching it at the theater, and people are getting up and leaving, and I'm like, why did you sit through this whole thing, and now you don't give a shit about this kid anymore?
Starting point is 00:25:24 He's fucking crying while the Grip's name is going by. You know, yeah. Was he watching Dumbo or? No, he was just pulling out
Starting point is 00:25:33 pubic hairs. The old, the old Joey Tribbiani trick. Well, my biggest snub was Lego Batman movie didn't get nominated for animated movie.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Oh. And, because I really was thinking that's my only chance in life to be in get nominated for animated movie. Oh. And, because I really was thinking that's my only chance in life to be in an Academy Award nominated movie.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Oh. But, you know, I'll keep trying. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. I'll keep doing parts when people ask me to. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:58 And then hopefully it turns out great. And you know what, Peter O'Toole, if you don't get one, they'll just give you an honorary at some point. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:26:04 Since you put in the lifetime. You put in the lifetime of work here. You did a lot of extra work, Doug Benson. He was in 800 Lego movies. They give you an Oscar made out of Legos. I wish, man. I mean, it doesn't pay much, but it's going to pay me for the rest of my life.
Starting point is 00:26:25 It's true, guys. That's how residuals work. Yeah, I mean, the initial job isn't that great, but then the check you get a few months later, oh, that's nice. You're like, oh, that was a good job. And then two years later, you get one, and you're like, 68 cents?
Starting point is 00:26:39 What the fuck? Why even send it? European. Or what's another one? I mean, I guess home video or whatever. Yep. Yeah. Residuals.
Starting point is 00:26:50 Yeah. Hashtag DLM Oscar challenge if you're going to do like I'm doing, which is I'm going to attempt to watch everything that got nominated for an Oscar. In everything. In every category. Oh, my God. I failed last year, but I missed a few things, but I'm going to try to make it this year. A lot of stuff's on
Starting point is 00:27:10 Netflix, and I'll go to those, you know, what they have in theaters where you can sit and watch all five animated shorts in one sitting. That kind of thing. Kobe's nominated. John Williams did the music for it. What? For Dear Basketball. It's Kobe Bryant's poem.
Starting point is 00:27:25 It's animated. It got nominated for Best Animated Short, and John Williams, the John Williams, did the music for it. Crazy. Yeah. Well, that's my pick. I'm just going to say this because it's, you know,
Starting point is 00:27:38 it's totally bragging, but I'm in the movie Space Camp, and John Williams wrote the score and scored a scene that I'm in. So John Camp and John Williams wrote the score and scored a scene that I'm in. So John Williams had to watch me on a monitor and decide what the London Philharmonic is going to play while I'm staring up at a spaceship that shoots into space full of kids. Oh, so this is the Leah Thompson Space Camp?
Starting point is 00:28:02 Yes. Oh my God, What a terrible movie. Yeah. Starring Leafs Phoenix. That's right. As the boy who befriends Max, the robot. And the robot wants to send, since Leafs' dream is to go into space, the robot wants to send him into space.
Starting point is 00:28:18 Yeah. So the robot fucks with some shit at NASA. Yeah. And then me and all the other guys that work at NASA are like, why the fuck is that spaceship really taking off? Yeah. There's a bunch of kids in it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:28 And the movie came out four or five months after the Challenger exploded. That's right. So it was a massive failure. Yeah. You know why? They should have gotten
Starting point is 00:28:36 that robot from Rocky. Rocky IV. From Rocky IV. Yeah. That Pauly figured out how to program somehow. Yeah. Pauly's like a computer.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Even a woman's voice. Everybody loved that robot. I watched the Challenger explode a lot. My teacher brought in a television set so we could watch the Challenger take off. And we watched that happen live in class. Nice. It's pretty sweet. Nice life lesson.
Starting point is 00:28:58 And that's the day you decided you would hate Coco. All right. Bert can turn the show off now because I'm about to say, let the games begin! Name tags. People brought them. Got lots of good ones. And then there's that guy with that that little toy uh so you guys know

Starting point is 00:30:24 Woo! She's so serious. Who are you playing for, Mark? I am playing for... Let's see. I was a Nina-age werewolf. Nina! Nina.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Playing for Nina. She's got some stuff taped to this backing that she clearly swung by a Michaels or some sort of craft store to get. This is a well-done poster. She put some cat butt gum on there, which is, you know, it's not the worst gum out there, but it's definitely pretty bad. And then this is a weed thing? Yeah. Oh, it's a weed Rice Krispie treat. A tiny Rice Krispie treat.
Starting point is 00:31:08 Are you going to eat it? Should I? Well, I'm just saying, you picked that name tag, and she put that on there to get you At the time of the picking, I did not know it had a Rice Krispie treat. Oh, okay. But I will eat the Rice Krispie treat, because I love Nina, and I love werewolves. That's gluten-free. I mean, you don't have to eat it right now, but it would be kind of fun to see how you do.
Starting point is 00:31:30 But now I just saw what Sirov is packing. Yeah, he's got Reese's, one of those big Reese's. More than that. I feel like this is maybe the best pick I've ever done as far as just upside. Because I'm playing for 200 cigarets cigaret is your name? Garrett
Starting point is 00:31:48 cigarets which is not much spelling altercation or alteration needed so that's cool but a whole bag of the donut
Starting point is 00:31:56 of Hostess Donuts yeah yeah so that's cool I'm gonna throw a couple and I'll eat a couple alright right I'm gonna eat one of those

Starting point is 00:32:25 It's kind of weird Grammatically Not how you would Set that up typically Sam I'm not surprised By your pick Because the gentleman
Starting point is 00:32:37 He showed me that Today on Twitter And I was like I bet you that's Going to get picked That is correct Because I knew You were going to be here
Starting point is 00:32:44 You are quite the detective I am playing for Twitter and I was like, I bet you that's going to get picked. That is correct. Because I knew you were going to be here. You are quite the detective. I am playing for Inglorious Brewsters. Am I saying that right? And his name tag is made of something I didn't even know existed. It is the motion picture soundtrack and I guess score to Inglorious
Starting point is 00:33:02 Bastards on vinyl. So yeah, this isards on vinyl. So, yeah, this is the old vinyl. Doesn't feel like the vinyl is in there. Yeah. You got that at home?
Starting point is 00:33:11 Precious cargo at home. Yeah, you don't want to risk that coming out here. Yeah, in case you wanted to keep it. Yeah. This is pretty good. Can he keep the cover?
Starting point is 00:33:19 Who, me? Yeah. I don't know. It's not mine. That's what I'm asking. Can I keep this cover? I'd prefer to. He'd prefer to. He wants to keep it. I'd like to hang on's not mine. That's what I'm asking. Can I keep this cover? I'd prefer to. He'd prefer to.
Starting point is 00:33:25 He wants to keep it. I'd like to hang on to that because I'd like to be able to put the Blu-ray. What is it? It's vinyl. Vinyl. I'd like to put the vinyl back in his sleeve. Yeah. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:33:42 Well, good luck, Brewster, and good luck to Garrett and Nina, and somebody's going to win all this stuff tonight. I've got some exciting games lined up for these very competitive players, starting with Purple Rain Man. We're going to go third billing second billing first billing the co-stars in a movie mashup title guess as often as you'd like until somebody figures out what the full title is uh starting Third billing, Renee Zellweger and J.T. Walsh. The late J.T. Walsh. Does anybody got any ideas on that?
Starting point is 00:34:35 Is she the third billing and he's the second? They're both third billing. You're going to next get the second billed people and then the first billed people in a movie mashup title. And the titles are mashed up in order. So the Renee Zellweger movie followed by the J.T. Walsh movie. Second billing. Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ray Sharkey. So I think you probably have the first half figured out.
Starting point is 00:35:11 No guesses. I like this. I like a nice, quiet time for me to think. And top build build Tom Cruise and Michael Chiklis Jerry Maguire fantastic four Jerry Maguire, Fantastic Four. Full title.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Rise of the Silver Surfer. What do you got, Sam? I got nothing for Chickless, JT Walsh, and who was it? Ray Sharkey. Ray Sharkey. He's also dead, I think. Yeah, I don't know what this movie is. I don't know who Ray Sharkey is, but he sounds fun. Yeah, right? It's a pretty cool last name, Sharkey. We're going to Ray's. Oh, what's his last name? Sharkey.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Does he have a machine? Jerry McGuire tapped. I don't know what... Wire tap? Jerry Maguire tapped. I don't know. Wire tap. Jerry Maguire tap. Wow.
Starting point is 00:36:38 What was the movie? That's correct. Jerry Maguire. Because Michael Chiklis played John Belushi in the movie Wired and was told by Dan Aykroyd and many others that he'll never work again until, of course, he won all those awards for starring in The Shield for several years and played the thing in two fantastic movies. What was the beef on set with Aykroyd?
Starting point is 00:36:58 Not a beef, but Dan Aykroyd didn't like the book Wired and he didn't like that they made a movie of it. And then he basically said, you know, this guy, you're never going to work again because it's the nerve of you to play John Belushi in a movie that depicts him as a drug addict who died. How dare you? But I still love Dan Aykroyd because he gets blown by ghosts. This next game, in a family movie.
Starting point is 00:37:26 That skull vodka is good stuff, man. by ghosts. This next game in a family movie. Skull Vodka's good stuff, man. Let's play Build a Title. Let's do it. People love it. It's not the easiest game, so I only whip it out when I have the strongest players. we're going to start. Don't whip it out, Doug. Hashtag me too.
Starting point is 00:37:46 Jacob gets to go first, then we'll going to start don't whip it out Doug hashtag me too Jacob gets to go first then we'll go to Sam and then to Mark and the starter title is a movie called
Starting point is 00:37:55 speaking of Gary Oldman I think he's in this State of Grace yeah State of Grace what do you want to add to that Sam oh I thought you were starting with Jacob.
Starting point is 00:38:05 No? No, but I'm just curious what you're going to add when it gets to you. Jacob, what do you want to add? State of grace. I can add to either side or I have to add to that? Either side. Okay. All right, how about enemy of the state of grace?
Starting point is 00:38:23 Oh, okay. I thought it might go red state, but enemy is good. Enemy of the State of Grace. Oh, okay. I thought it might go Red State, but Enemy's good. All right, Sam. Enemy of the State of Grace of My Heart. Oh, what's that? That's a movie with Ileana Douglas.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Yeah, that sounds right. It's a period piece. Yeah, yeah. All right, so you got Enemy of the State of Grace of My Heart, Mark. Enemy of the State of Grace of My Heart and Souls. Oh, okay. Robert Downey Jr., Elizabeth Shue. Yeah, it's a shame that that word is souls.
Starting point is 00:39:07 Yeah, I know. I really fucked that game up, didn't I? Yeah, it might bring it to a halt. Thanks for the Rice Krispie treat, Nina. Are you playing it? No, no. What? Okay, so... Oh, I just wanted to...
Starting point is 00:39:20 So it's my turn? Yeah, you would... I would have just skipped me if I was playing. And also, I knew what the first title was going to be, so that'd be cheating. Okay. I get that. What do you got?
Starting point is 00:39:33 I got... Sleeping with the Enemy of the States. Wait for it. Grace. Go ahead. Can I fucking finish? Yeah. You've already got a swastika staring at me.
Starting point is 00:39:44 Go ahead. Staring at me for the whole game with your psychological tactics of the grace of the heart of the souls or whatever. While you were sleeping with the enemy of the state of grace of my heart and souls.
Starting point is 00:39:59 Alright. So, seems like we're done here. Souls coming back to bite me in the ass, isn't it? That's a tough one. It's got to end with while. It's probably a movie called
Starting point is 00:40:21 Like After A While. Oh, I'm sure there might be something Like that Yeah who's in it Graham Yeah Leaf carrot You got anything Is Soulsman a sequel No that's Soulsmen Soulsmen Yeah Is Soulsman a sequel to that?
Starting point is 00:40:46 No, that's Soulsmen. Soulsmen, yeah. Soulsmen, yeah. Yeah, that's a tough one. Yeah, I feel like there's a while in there, but... You're out. Jacob? I'm not going to try to do the whole thing, but I'm going to guess there's a movie called Solstice.
Starting point is 00:41:06 Because there probably is. Right, but you'd have to know that there is and tell me something about it. I think Courtney Cox is in it. Oh. All right. Sold. Stice.
Starting point is 00:41:20 It's a period piece. Can you add anything, Sam, just to... Yeah, I'll try. Soul Survivor. Soul Survivor. I like it. That works. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:31 The spelling works. What was that? Was that the Mark Wahlberg thing? Yeah, Marky Mark with the Ben Foster and the Lone Survivor. Oh, no, Soul Survivor's a different movie, but it definitely works. Soul Survivor's about Bernie Mac. Yeah, that was Lone Survivor. That was Lone Survivor. No, there is one called Soul Survivor is a different movie, but it definitely exists. Soul Survivor is about Bernie Madco. Yeah, that was Lone Survivor. That was Lone Survivor.
Starting point is 00:41:46 No, there is one called Soul Survivor. I've seen that title somewhere. Yeah, it came out like last year. No, I legitimately have on the DirecTV Crawl. I've never clicked on it. It's a Michael Bolton album. That's a real movie. I would bet my life on it.
Starting point is 00:41:57 I've never clicked on it, but it's a movie. All right, well, you know, you won anyway. All right. Oh, no, just for the people who come after me. I mean the stalkers. Just the people who come after me. I mean the stalkers. The people who come after me. Mostly family members. All right, you guys.
Starting point is 00:42:13 Sam gets to go first in this next game, and it's wildly appropriate that he does because he's one of the best players at this. We're going to play the Leonard Maltin game. Ellis is excited. Yeah, I brought my handy dandy book of categories
Starting point is 00:42:33 that a gentleman in the Atlanta area made for me. Have you added some new ones to it? Always. Oh, good. I can't give you the same ones you've heard before sam i agree i don't want ones that have come up before i know you were crossing them all out last time we did this you were legit you were running low yeah you're right about that
Starting point is 00:42:55 all right but i fixed it good very excited i reloaded so sam gets to pick between three categories. We'll switch the order around, so it'll go Sam, Jacob, and then Mark. But Sam gets to pick between these. And again, unlike me in the past, I'm not going to tell you what the category title means until you pick one. Right. Sam, would you like NYCU Real Soon,
Starting point is 00:43:27 Don't Mess With Mississippi, or Giant Broken Arm? As intriguing as that is, I'll try NYCU later.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Okay. Giant Broken Arm is movies with a large cast. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. But you went with NYCU real soon? NYCU real soon, yeah. Yeah, yeah. And that's movies where a character moves to New York.
Starting point is 00:44:07 To New York? Mm-hmm. All right. Yeah, it happens. At the end of Lady Bird and The Big Sick. I guess it's neither one of those. This movie, though, is from 1988. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:20 Leonard Maltin gives it two stars. And I'm just going to tell you one thing he says about this movie, and that's that it has junior high school level dramatics. And he lists nine names. How many names can you get it in? Sam the Ma'am, a.k.a. Laura. Oh, man. You said nine?
Starting point is 00:44:52 Mm-hmm. I'll say eight names. Smart opening bid. Because who knows what the fuck this movie is. Jacob, how many names can you knock off of there? Would you like off of there? Would you like to challenge Sam with an unheard of eight names? I mean, I think I could do it in seven.
Starting point is 00:45:12 You gotta go lower, right? Actually, let's go six. All right, he's going six. Chipping away at it, Mark. There weren't a lot of movies about people moving to New York in 88, Doug. You know, I couldn't tell you any movie that was
Starting point is 00:45:28 from 88, because I'm bad with years, but... I think I might already know. I'm sure. It seems like people moved to New York in movies every year. Not in 88 they didn't. I'm going to challenge Jacob. Wow. Because I don't think he can get it in 6.
Starting point is 00:45:44 Is that how that works? Right, but it seems like you had a real handle on what it might be if you're saying there's not a lot of movies where that happens, and then you're challenging him. Yeah, no, that was all Ray Lightsaber confidence. None of that was coming from the noggin. That was all
Starting point is 00:46:01 my parents are junk traders strength right there. Four portions. All right. Jacob, you get six names. Okay. Good luck to us all. Or to you specifically. The six people who are at the bottom of the nine names are Paul Benedict, Ron Dean, Gina Gershon, Kelly Lynch, Lawrence Luckenbill, and Lisa Barnes.
Starting point is 00:46:38 Do those names help you at all, Jacob? They do not, but I'm still going to guess working girl. Oh, that's not a bad guess, even though I believe she lived in the state or nearby. I was going to tell you, Lawrence Luckinbill played Cybok, Spock's brother, in Star Trek V. Dear God.
Starting point is 00:46:56 I think... I thought that might help you. Such a dramatic reaction, Mark. I thought that might help you. It's like a scene from a Star Trek movie. It was Dr. McCoy reacting. Star Trek V was later. No, it was before.
Starting point is 00:47:11 Star Trek V was actually 89, I think. Yeah, all of this doesn't matter. Captain Benson, these Vulcans will never get laid. The point is, the movie is not... It's not working. It's not working, girl. The top three people, top three billed people were Elizabeth Shue, Brian
Starting point is 00:47:29 Brown, and Tom Cruise. And it's a motion picture called Cocktail. That's a point going to Mark Ellis. If you've gotten Elizabeth Shue, do you get that? It's weird, Doug. I think of that as a movie about a guy moving to the Caribbean.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Yeah, he does leave New York after a while. You're right. Moved to New York twice in that movie. I heard he moved to Montega, Jamaica. All right. Key Largo. Hey, baby, why don't we go to the next guest? See you guys later.
Starting point is 00:48:05 That's happening. All right, so... What happens now, Sam? It starts with me and then goes to Ellis. Yeah, wait, what? It's got to be the two people that weren't... I wasn't a part of that one. Right.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Okay. I wasn't a part of that one. Right. Okay. Do we all get consulted on the rules of the game? No, I just always ask Sam before I do it wrong. I'm not always right, but this time I'm sure. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Sam and then Mark and then Jacob. Too bad your brother's not here. He could yell out the answer. No, he wouldn't have known that for you either. No, I spent the rules. Plus, he's a nice guy. Oh, he's a delight. All right.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Pick between these categories, Sam. Okay. Did I tell you not to mess with Mississippi? Really pushing that. Or, oh, it's a completely different category. Oh. Where I must insist that I did tell you not to mess with Mississippi. And then the next option is called Great Scott. And the third category is called Great Scots.
Starting point is 00:49:36 Which one of those would you like to play? Great Scott. Singular. Singular Scott The films of Tony Scott Perfect Man Yeah
Starting point is 00:49:50 Great Scott's is the films of anyone with the last name Scott No But we're not playing that Nope So get that out of your heads Out 2006 Two and a half stars from Leonard
Starting point is 00:50:04 He says this movie's got action and romance 2006. Two and a half stars from Leonard. He says this movie's got action and romance. But he also says it's shallow but entertaining. And he lists ten names. How many can you get it in, Sam? Uh... Negative one. What? It's going negative one, Mark.
Starting point is 00:50:46 What happens when he goes negative one? Shit, I didn't... I thought you might know about this part of the game. Does an actor from the movie come on stage and reveal themselves? What this means is that Sam is going to not only tell us the name of the movie, but he's going to tell us the name of the top-billed person in that movie. So in order to outbid Sam, you have to go negative two or more, which means you have to name two people from the film starting from the
Starting point is 00:51:26 top and get them in the correct order as listed by Leonard Maltin. So, because the category... It's intense shit, man. You said these are, are these actual Tony Scott movies or they're any Scott? We settled on the category that's just Tony Scott. Okay. Like movies that he just Tony Scott. Okay. Like movies that he made. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:47 In 2006. Before he killed himself. Too soon. Too soon for him to kill himself? Yes. You're right. He should have made a few more. He should have made a few more movies and then done it.
Starting point is 00:52:00 He still had some good work left in him. 2006. Can I get a rereading of the brief description that Leonard gave? Yeah, you can. I like when people ask for that. Yeah. Action and romance. Shallow but entertaining.
Starting point is 00:52:15 Two and a half stars. 2006. A film by Tony Scott. That's exactly the kind of movie I would have gotten on Netflix when they still sent you the DVDs. They don't anymore? I mean, I guess they do. I think they do if that's what you want.
Starting point is 00:52:33 If you're not into streaming. I can't get negative two. You can't do it. I can't do it to my guy. Because you don't even know what movie it is. I think I know what movie it is. Oh, really? You don't know who was second building that movie? No, I think I know the first star and I think it's like movie it is. Oh, really? Yeah. You don't know who was second billed in that movie? No, I think I know the first star,
Starting point is 00:52:47 and I think it's like a huge marquee name, but then it's like, you know, it could be Lawrence fucking Luckinbill. If we're thinking of the same movie, you're right. That second one's tough. That's why I bid negative one. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:00 We know how smart you are, Levine. No, I'm saying... Sam. I'm agreeing with you. It could be Lawrence Luckenbill. It's nice of you to do a DVD commentary while you're actually up here competing. For the record,
Starting point is 00:53:13 there's a very easy chance I'm wrong. I think we're thinking the same thing. Sam always loves to point that out. And I've been wrong after I've said it. It has happened. It absolutely has happened. It's true, it did happen. Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:24 There's also going to be a super blood moon tomorrow for the first time in 70 years. Oh, it's happening right now? No, it isn't. Right now. I heard it's like at 5.50 in the morning. Well, I mean, it started when it rose tonight
Starting point is 00:53:35 up over the horizon. It's going to get into its full... Right. Well, no. Yeah, I mean, it's the lunar eclipse part is what's going to happen. Yeah, that's what they say.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Is this part of the Tony Scott movie? Blood Moon. Super Blue Blood Moon. Blood Moon doesn't. You go to the ER when you got that. I get my money back when I see that. Yeah, I can't do a negative two dive there, Doug. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:59 I hear you. I think I could tie Sam, but that's about as good as I can do. Yeah, unfortunately. Sorry, folks. Show's over. No, no, it goes on. If I'm wrong, you win. Okay.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Yeah, and if he's right, you each have a point. And then Jacob's still here. So he could go for the next round. Sam? I believe it's Denzel Washington in Deja Vu. That is correct. It's number two Paula Patton Yeah Alright
Starting point is 00:54:30 Paula Patton Yeah Well Val Kilmer's in the movie Yeah Paula Patton Bruce Greenwood's in the movie Val Kilmer You know people in the movie Jim Caviezel
Starting point is 00:54:39 I've got it written down right here if you want me to just say it I was just saying it I know You're just guessing I have fucking right here Okay Song want me to just say it. I was just saying it. I know. You're just guessing. I have fucking right here. Okay. Adam Goldberg. Another Beach Boys song in there. Eldon Henson.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Yep. He's also in the control room with them. Yeah, he's number five. You guys remember him from The Mighty and The Mighty Ducks. Elle Fanning is in it. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right. Must have been a little one there. Was she also in Man on Fire? No, but Dakota Fanning was. That was Dakota.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Yeah, alright. You're just running through those Fannings. Orstat. That's Caviezel's character's name. Orstat. Oy vey. I actually, no, I actually really like that movie because it involves time travel, and that's the only genre that I
Starting point is 00:55:23 really enjoy. But he doesn't have like a time travel machine, does he? He just sort of blinks and goes back? No, there's a machine. There is? Eldon Henson puts him in there. He gets into it? With Adam Goldberg. Yeah, they send him back seven days or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:55:35 I don't remember a machine. There's a machine because it makes a big power outage. Oh, okay. And Denzel Washington puts his laser pointer in the machine and shuts it off. He always wakes up and says, Beach Boys song, Don't Worry Baby, right? That's exactly right. That's the song at the beginning and end of the movie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:48 It's like Groundhog Day, except instead of Sonny and Cher, they replaced it. Yep. That's exactly right. Yeah. Do all the movies have Beach Boys songs in them? Groundhog Day is going to be back in theaters
Starting point is 00:55:59 for its, I think, 25th anniversary. Oh, yeah, you're right. 93. This very week. Yeah. And if you don't go see it, it plays every day forever. Encore a couple years ago. They say we're young, but we don't know.
Starting point is 00:56:12 All right. All right. Let's go to the next round. Sam has a point. Mark has a point. But Jacob is going to start us off in this next one. And then we're going to go to Mark. Nope.
Starting point is 00:56:27 I say so. Why not? Because we went to Mark second last time. What does that have to do with anything? It goes the other way. What? Right? No, we changed the order the other way around, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:38 That's fine. I think it's just weird because he's in the middle. That's why I got confused. Yeah, I hear you. All right. But also, I mean, let's give these fellas a chance, Sam. No, no, I love a good Malton game. You know that.
Starting point is 00:56:54 If it had been a two and done, that would have been so disappointing. All right, well, you know, we can just sit around and play more after everybody goes home. Oh, my God. My fantasy. I'll see you guys. I'm busy that day. I'll see you guys. Tonight?
Starting point is 00:57:14 Oh, yeah, definitely. In Sam's living room, there's a poster of dogs playing Malton game. That's true. All right. Jacob, which one of these, this is your chance to get a point by picking between the penis game. I take that.
Starting point is 00:57:35 Oh, I don't know. You might want to hear more. You're not the boss of me or... Related to the penis game. Get off my planet. Which one of me? Or... Related to the penis game? Get off my planet! Which one of those would you like to play?
Starting point is 00:57:51 The penis game's gonna have actors named Dick, but there's not enough actors named Dick. I know, right? That's what I hate about Hollywood. Not enough actors named Dick. Get off My Planet. What was the middle one?
Starting point is 00:58:08 You're not the boss of me. You're not the boss of me. I'm going to go for Get Off My Planet. Okay. Get Off My Planet is movies that don't take place on Earth. Okay. This one's from 2013. Leonard gave it two and a
Starting point is 00:58:28 half stars. He says it's grim and gritty and devoid of fun. And he lists nine names. How many can you get it in, Jacob Siroff?
Starting point is 00:58:49 Five. That's his opening bid, Mark. Five names. I can do it in one. Whoa. it in uh i can do it in one sam well i can't do it in zero because i don't think i uh i have a handle on what this movie is oh you know you can do negative numbers if you want. Yeah. Can I? How does that work? How does that work? Well, let me mull it over. Let me see if I can... 2013 doesn't take place on this planet.
Starting point is 00:59:34 Devoid of fun? Is that what you said, Doug? Yeah, it's grim and gritty. Grim, gritty. Gritty. He says one name. What the hell? Zero names. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:00:09 So, Jacob, I see what Sam's doing here. Even if he hasn't come up with the right answer, he's forcing a possible three-way tie and then another round. Jacob, are you going to spoil Sam's plan? So if he guesses,
Starting point is 01:00:33 then Sam definitely doesn't get a point. Jacob has to challenge Sam, and then Sam will get the point if he guesses the right name. But if he fails, then Jacob gets the point. Can I do an Ellis again? Can I get the description? That's what we're going to call that from now on?
Starting point is 01:00:49 Yeah. I actually saw that off. Who needs an Ellis? Grim and gritty, devoid of fun. 2013, two and a half stars from Leonard and does not take place on Earth. I can do in negative one.
Starting point is 01:01:08 You can? No, but maybe. No, no, no. If you challenge me and I'm wrong, the game goes on. If you're wrong, he gets to point the game's over. I don't see a problem with that, Sam. But I think that I don't want to... A boy has a dream.
Starting point is 01:01:25 Why are you trying to step all over that? This is why I... You really think you know what this is? Oh, wow. Well, if you say it like that... I thought I had a... Do you have a guess? I do have a guess.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Okay. All right. How many names were there? You're doing it in negative one. It doesn't matter anymore. No, but that affects if it's the movie I'm thinking of, though. Oh, really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:46 Smart. How does it affect it? The movie could have 50 or 100 or just nine people in it. It's only the nine he lists. Or less than that. Right. That's true. There's a lot of movies with only three or four people in them.
Starting point is 01:01:59 What I'm thinking of is that type of movie. Oh, shit. All right. So what are you going to do, Jacob? Do you want this game to continue or do you want to go out guns blazing? No, we'll let it continue. Do you want to put Sundance this shit
Starting point is 01:02:14 and just run out? Let's keep it going. A hail of gunfire. We'll keep it going. All right. So you're challenging Sam? Yeah. Because what if Sam
Starting point is 01:02:22 has been poker facing the shit out of this and knows the answer? This is a guess. Of course it's a guess? Yeah. Because what if Sam has been poker facing the shit out of this? I haven't. I haven't. It knows the answer. This is a guess. Of course it's a guess. Yeah. But it's a guess. It's a guess. So it might be the right guess. Could be. You son of a bitch. We'll find out. Jacob, are you sure? The nine,
Starting point is 01:02:42 the nine, if you knew what, I'll reveal at some point what I'm thinking and the nine does fuck it up. I don't know, that seems like... It could be a couple, yeah. Yeah, but do you see what's happening here? Yeah, we don't know if he's poker facing or not. I'm not poker facing. I have zero confidence in this answer,
Starting point is 01:03:02 but it keeps the game going. You do have an answer. I have an answer. Yeah. I have zero confidence in this answer, but it keeps the game going. You do have an answer. I have an answer. Yeah. I'm fairly certain it is incorrect, but it keeps the game moving. It's a three-way tie. Theoretically. What could be more exciting than a three-way tie?
Starting point is 01:03:15 Right, but to press the three-way tie... Oh, yeah, you're right. It wouldn't be a three-way tie if I have no points, right? You got to get a point, but if you... If I'm wrong, it's a three-way tie if I have no points, right? You got to get a point, but if you... If I'm wrong, it's a three-way tie. All right, fucking do it. Is it Prometheus? No!
Starting point is 01:03:31 Thank you! I thought... Hang on, hang on, Jacob. I thought it was After Earth, which would have only like two people in it. Yeah, there weren't a lot. There's just the Smiths. There could be less than nine people in it. And then, yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 01:03:44 It's around that time, I think. Maybe, yeah. It's a few years old. Mark? I was going to go with Interstellar. Okay. There's plenty of scenes on Earth. Well, look at that.
Starting point is 01:03:55 I could have challenged you. You know, Doug, playing the game is really what I'm good at. If you'd gone negative one and the title, you would have had to say Matt Damon, Elysium. Oh, Elysium. Elysium. Doesn't Elysium take place... Part of that takes place on Earth.
Starting point is 01:04:14 Which part? Like the part with Matt Damon. The beginning. Yeah. The beginning is on Earth. Yeah, he's pretty much on Earth. And then they go to Elysium. I love that movie.
Starting point is 01:04:22 Which is not Earth. Jodie Foster speaking some kind of nonsense. It is fantastic. She is weird in that movie. That is for damn sure. All right, we've got a three-way tie. Supes exciting. Let's settle this shit.
Starting point is 01:04:38 Mark gets to go first. And then we go to Sam. No, you go to Sam. No, you go to Jacob. Just switch the order around? You weren't going that way before? Whoa. Whoa.
Starting point is 01:04:55 Go towards the challenger. Don't bring up the challenger. I watched it happen live. It's very traumatic for me. It goes to the... It goes to what the opposite order is. Who challenged the last round doesn't matter. It's very traumatic for me. It goes to what the opposite order is. Who challenged the last round doesn't matter. It's just the order changes. Last time we were going...
Starting point is 01:05:09 The person who wasn't involved gets to go first. Right, but the person who wasn't involved, because Jacob challenged you, so we start with Mark and go to you after Mark. Right? Because the order was the other way around just now. No, it was the other way. It was? Yeah. All right, so we'll go to Jake. We should go to Jake after Mark. Right? Because the order was the other way around just now. No, it was the other way. It was? Alright, so we'll go to Jake. You should go to Jake.
Starting point is 01:05:30 I feel like those were Trump speechwriters explaining to him how the State of the Union is going to work. No, Mike sits behind you. He's not. Alright. You get a pick between three categories, Mark.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Okay. Let's be cops. Or, going back to some classics that we already mentioned tonight. Which version of Mississippi is it? Don't mess with Mississippi. Or, did I tell you not to mess with Mississippi? Or let's be cops. I just can't think of a lot of movies that,
Starting point is 01:06:12 it might be deeper than just the state of Mississippi, but I don't know a lot of movies that take place in Mississippi. But, there's... Did you ever hear of Mississippi is Burning? Ghost of Mississippi? Mississippi Burning, not is burning. Let me go with... I really thought the movie was funny.
Starting point is 01:06:35 Let's go with Let's Be Cops. All right. I like those guys that starred in that movie. They were funny. They're cute. This is movies with cops. I'm surprised to hear that, Doug. So everything
Starting point is 01:06:52 but sense and sensibility. I did not see that one coming. Gotta say, I thought this was gonna be more of a fireman category. 2012 is the year, Mark, and Leonard gives this movie three stars. He says that this movie is clear-eyed, and he also says that it seems absolutely real. And he lists ten names.
Starting point is 01:07:20 I think I can get this movie in negative two. Whoa. It's like a Scooby-Doo ghost. It's Mr. Benson, the old man who runs the podcast. Whoa. Meddling kids. Jacob. 2012 Cops.
Starting point is 01:07:44 Uh-huh. Not a lot of stars, right? But it does seem real. meddling kids Jacob 2012 Cops uh huh not that didn't not a lot of stars right but he said it seemed real three stars
Starting point is 01:07:50 out of four pretty good negative Ellis knows this movie pretty good rating yeah he seems to have really
Starting point is 01:07:59 figured it out I don't have to go negative three yeah you got the force. I got a swastika. You know, we beat the Nazis in that movie. I know, but it's still like it's...
Starting point is 01:08:11 I'm looking and it's there. Thanks. Okay, now I got a negative three. Oh, I challenge. You challenge? No, you got... I wasn't really doing that. Sorry, sorry.
Starting point is 01:08:26 Action has passed. Sam knows the movie too. That's that Levine poker face you hear about. You think you can do negative four is what you're saying. No, he thinks you can't get three actors in the movie. Oh, I see. And he's challenging me. No.
Starting point is 01:08:39 I'll do you one better. I don't know. I'll do you one better. I don't think Ellis has the right movie. And I'm very upset that I'm not sitting where you are. Right? Yes. It's a really comfortable chair.
Starting point is 01:08:49 Sam's getting shut out. Locked out of the action. That's the best I have to go on because I don't know it. So I'm going to trust Sam's instinct that Ellis is off and challenge him. Yeah, I mean, if you don't have any idea what the movie is, then there's no other play, really. So, Mark, I need the name of the movie, and then the top-billed person,
Starting point is 01:09:10 and then the person that's second-billed. I'm not going to say whether any of it's right until you say all three things. End of watch, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Peña. That is correct! Is that what you thought too, sir? Yeah, I was trying to get in Ellis' head. Mark Ellis is our winner!
Starting point is 01:09:37 Nina, come get all your prizes! Congratulations! You get two bags and then your own name tag back. Yeah, thank you so much for making that. And congrats on your win. Thank you, Nina. Okay, be careful. Enjoy the blood moon.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Thank you. Oh, wait. Yeah, wait. She gets a toothbrush. Wait, don't forget your toothbrush. Very important. Have a dramatic toothbrushing session tomorrow. Take a donut.
Starting point is 01:10:04 On us. Oh, he's throwing some donut-ies. Oh! She can do this. I only got one hand. Yes! You catch a donut right there. All right. Doug, I know you like to throw donuts. Well, you know, we gotta
Starting point is 01:10:19 wrap it up. I'll throw one. Sam? Have you ever seen you not throw donuts? Yes, sir. I saw you tweeting about it today. You got throw one. Sam? I saw you tweeting about it today. You've got something big to plug. Oh, yeah. It's a YouTube Red pilot called I'm Poppy. Do some of you know who Poppy is?
Starting point is 01:10:38 Okay. One person clapping like they're trying to end the scent of a woman. She's a viral YouTube sensation among tweens and other communities that I'm not a part of. And she's huge. She has literally, I think, 50 million subscribers on YouTube. So YouTube Red finally wised up and threw some money at her, and they made a pilot for YouTube Red called I'm Poppy. I'm in it and it's technically
Starting point is 01:11:08 behind the YouTube Red paywall, but hey, if you're not a member, free 30-day trial. So just sign up, watch I'm Poppy, and then cancel. And then when YouTube's like, hey, why'd you cancel? Be like, because there was only one episode of I'm Poppy, make 500 more and make sure Sam Levine
Starting point is 01:11:24 is well paid in all of them. And then your work is done. So thank you very much. This sounds like a terrific plan. I'm going to get right on it. Thank you, Doug. Jacob Serov, what do you got coming up, dude? I don't really have a whole lot to plug. I'll be at the American Comedy Company and St. Patrick's Day weekend. I know that's far
Starting point is 01:11:39 in San Diego. And just everybody tweet at Mark and make him and his friend have me on their show that they refuse to have me on. I think they're scared of my Star Wars abilities. It's been years of Mark. If it were up to me...
Starting point is 01:11:51 You're talking about the schmo down? Yeah, the schmo thing. No, you wouldn't fit in there. Why do you say that? You're not enough of a schmo. What constitutes a schmo? It sounds like a yiddy schmo.
Starting point is 01:12:02 You've got to be an unclassy individual. How do I not fit in? Because look at you, just the way you're eating a Donetti. You have your pinky finger up. Mark Ellis, what do you got to plug? I'm entranced by this high society. Don't I, Tita?
Starting point is 01:12:22 Have you been to Mr. Gatsby's parties in person? Gatsby doesn't have Jews at the parties. Gatsby? What Gatsby? That's my favorite line in that movie.
