Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby, sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies. Hey, hey, hey everybody. My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies, recording on a Sunday afternoon, June 25th, 2023, Kingsman, the Golden Circle of Friends with Benefits, A Wonderful Life. My guests today are Matt Beldam, David Borean, and Ed O'Groisman. Hello, everybody. Hello. Hello. Hey. Hello. Hello. Hi. Let's meet everybody individually.

And as I do alphabetically by first name, that means Anna Roisman is here. Hello, Anna. Hi. Oh my God. I've never been first in an alphabetical order because of my last name. No, it's a little switcheroo. I pull on everybody. The people in the front of the alphabet with their last name, they get a little too comfortable. Yeah. Somebody like Matt Belknap sitting around going, Oh, I'm coming up first.

I was so ready for it. Yeah. Honored. Well, Anna, congratulations on getting to talk first. And, um, thank you. Feels great. Of course have been on the program on zoom probably and uh in new york i believe you're at a 12 guests at christmas one time or something yeah um but now you're out in los angeles i am i am, but I'm still on a zoom. Yeah, exactly. I'm just saying, uh, that you, you made the move out to the West coast and how is that working out for you? It's good. You know,

I go back and forth a lot and I think that's cause I still like the East coast. Well, I think the East coast is especially awesome when you uh when home is the west coast you know because uh whenever the weather or anything gets too weird on the east coast you can just you know get out of there and have a place to go where the weather's also weird but it's a you know more uh easy to live in weird yeah yeah i'm enjoying it though you know i just went to a farmer's market i had such an la morning it was so you know i got i got fruit for days they got farmer's markets right there in the city of new york right yeah we've been so you know yeah same thing you know the only place we don't have a good farmer's market spread is out at farms across the country.

Yeah, you got to go to mainstream cities to get that really good. If you go to the farm, it's like going to, you know, one of those big box stores. You have to buy, you just have to be ready for a lot of one thing. Well, also joining us today is david bori hello david hey you sir and you sound like it are a returning champion yes sir big champion energy over in this corner how do you feel about your your chances today champ i mean i feel strong i feel tall i feel confident and am i those things who knows but that's how i feel i think you just feel tall because you're phoning this in from the uh the mile high city yeah i'm above all you sea level cowards yeah

it's people in denver when you get them on the phone they get a real complex they think they're really superior because they're up there they're so high it's people in Denver. When you get them on the phone, they get a real complex. They think they're really superior because they're up there. They're so high. Oh yeah. You should hear me call my mom. It's awful. Um,

and a producer of this program for the 16 years or so that we've been doing it. Yikes. Um, you also know him from never not funny with our friend matt our friend jimmy parto it's matt belknap everybody hello hi um producer ryan is on his assignment i mean i like saying that he's just out doing something else, but I like to say he's on assignment. So you're doing double duty here today as both producer and the,

and a guest. Yes, that's true. Is there an extra pressure to doing both of those jobs at the same time? It's, you know, it is a little nerve wracking. There's a couple of things I have to do a producer wise that I feel like I'm going to be distracted from one task or the other.

Either I'm going to screw up the recording of it or I'm going to be a terrible guest. So we'll see which way it breaks. Well, let's make sure we get this recorded. So go ahead. It's probably the more important of the two things. Yes. By the way, I hate to correct the host of the show, but I grew up in farmland, Doug. I don't know if you know that, but they did sell like a farm.

You could just like stop on the side of the road and buy corn from like a corn field like it was crazy you just have a little stand with with corn and you just buy it but then you gotta drive for miles to get to a place and get strawberries or what right yeah they don't have it all in one place that is true you're burning gas to get a whole like yeah i'm gonna drive for miles to go get some arugula now this is a headache you just eat you eat whatever you drive by that you don't get to choose what to eat you eat the stuff that's available in your area right so you're like you know i gotta get away from this garlic farm um all right so uh those are our three contestants, if you will, today, even though there's no prizes to speak of.

But before we play some games, let's visit Recommendation Nation. That's where I ask each of my guests to recommend a movie. Just one movie. I don't need a list. I don't need a bunch or a gaggle. I just need one, but from a specific category and on the Doug Loves Movies Twitter account known as at Doug Loves Movies, I got a

suggestion from someone. I picked their suggestion, not just because it's a good suggestion, because I like their Twitter name because their name is nap city, Virginia. I don't know if there really is a place called nap city, but if there is, I want to go there and I,

I want to write their town motto, the city that sleeps a lot. Is it nap like NAP? Short periods of time. Yeah, nap city. Okay, so it's not a silent K because my name has a silent K in it. Oh, that's right. Maybe you should move there.

Maybe it's your town. Yeah, I was going to say, this sounds like my place. I feel like I could dominate over there. Yeah, you know, you're always on the special lookout for those silent k okay so uh i should be more clear though his name is nab city va i just assume the va meant uh virginia it could be NAPCity Veterans Administration. But this was his suggestion. And also assuming it's a him.

Summer's here. Please recommend a beach slash surf movie. So it's got to have beach or surfing or you're really nailing it if you come up with something with both anna here's where that alphabet alphabetical things might bite you um beach surf movie yeah i'm gonna go the first movie that came to mind that i really love i'm gonna go with 50 first dates that movie takes place in hawaii yeah and there's a lot of beach and surfing i feel like moments maybe there's none i can't't think of watching a movie that takes place in Hawaii and not seeing Beach a lot.

Yeah. It just seems like they have to do that. They can't just make the story take place and say, oh, that's mostly inside. No, it's a requirement. Yeah, I think if you're shooting in Hawaii, they're like 40% of the movies on the beach. To shoot the out of doors, yes.

So that's a a perfectly perfect suggestion now if you just said like uh what's that other one they did together adam and drew if you said blended i'd be like i love the two of them i don't think they're at the beach in Africa. All right. David, what's your suggestion, recommendation for a movie that's a beach surf situation? Have you ever seen that movie Summer School? I love Summer School. I have in fact seen Summer School. It comes up from time to time on this podcast because there's just some love for it out there.

I think it was on USA a lot in the summers when I was home from school. I would see it on USA a lot. But yeah, that's just a fun... It's in Hawaii, I think. Oh, I think it's probably just LA or something but it's true that surfing

does come up because of the fact that one of the characters is a surfer yeah I just like that we took Nap City's suggestion we're going to pick all Hawaii movies how many are there? I think the school's in la though i think is it well then he was good i think it's just supposed

to be california well then he was gonna go to hawaii oh that's right he was gonna go to hawaii and then he has to teach english okay right he's like packed and ready to go on a summer vacation to Hawaii. They're like, no, you have to... I think he's even got the white zinc oxide on his nose already. Yes. When they're like, no, sorry, you have to teach summer school.

He's wearing those sunglasses with the string on them so you don't lose them i guess just in case that wave takes you yeah it's wave protection really yeah because you know you need your readers when you're out on the high seas yeah he also he also does one of those looks over the top of it like that like wow or whatever yeah right yeah saint tiffin was a big like it was on a lot of the posters oh yeah no it was a big moment in risky business when tom cruise tipped his shades and said what does he say go fuck yourself or no he says uh it's something with the word fuck in it uh you know it's like really

uh i can't even remember it now it's such a 90s power move that oh yeah oh yeah 90s moment shade tipping was huge shade tipping plus a catchphrase you're making a million dollars and then summer school i think has maintained some of its uh the joy people have for it oh and this is also why i can make a case for it being in la is because chainsaw and his and his buddy the two uh cut-ups in class they are uh they're into special effects makeup they want to be special effects makeup so one dress is like rerun right

yeah I think they both they both have some fashion issues they both you know a lot of baggy stuff I think well I think Chainsaw wears a trench coat a lot of the time to like hide his chainsaw wears a trench coat a lot of the time yeah yeah to like hide his

chainsaw it's on his back yeah he's got a uh he's got a thing like uh from the evil dead movies um he's got a chainsaw strapped to his back um i like that movie like the innovation of that movie was that they took the spicoli archetype and split it into two characters so that they could riff with each other and it was like it magnified the fun of the the stoner surf guy in a comedy by two it's like they looked at fast times and they went why is piccoli like before school getting high in the van with three other dudes and they don't have any classes together what about those guys those three are probably all cutting up somewhere having a good time in some other classroom he's just off with all the squares yeah it's almost like they saw fast times and they're like those guys would

definitely get sent to summer school. Cause they're not doing anything in class. And that's a good idea. Yeah. That would be a good show to re a movie to revisit. If like showing like they all still work at the mall, you know, and they're all like in their fifties. That'd be amazing. I bet you Spicoli is a rehab counselor now. Yeah, but it's still in the mall. Yeah, but it's a rehab.

It's mall rehab. Yeah. Okay. So, Matt, this is some tough ones you've gone up against here. Well, now I have the added challenge of trying to work Hawaii into it somehow. The first thing I thought of was the documentary Endless Summer, which is kind of an obvious pick because it's like the first big surf documentary ever, I think. But maybe younger people haven't seen it. I don't know.

It's cool. It's a very chill documentary that just kind of follows people chasing the summer around the world. Like they basically surf in one place until the season changes, and then they go to the next place and follow the summer all the way around the globe. And it's like from the 60s or something. And yeah, just a good like vibe movie. There's not a lot happening in it. It's kind of just like watching people surf for two hours, but it's really enjoyable. Yeah, it is a serious vibe movie for sure. But there's a, you know,

there's little things that happen along the way and the different locales are, and the cultures are interesting. Yeah. Yeah. That's a, but it is a really like for like a sports movie, it's pretty chill. Cause then there's that guy, you know, one of the guys behind uh apocalypse now and other war stuff uh did that movie big wednesday where it was all about uh this you know gigantic wave and so that you know his take on surfing was just all about how big the wave had to be and yeah you know the whole movie has to have lots of like surfing accidents and stuff.

I haven't seen that one to make it real dramatic. Well, that's the thing that people don't even talk about anymore. Cause like, you know, uh, I always associated the day of the week Wednesday with the title big Wednesday because most days of the week, there's not too many movie titles you can associate with them so that was always my wednesday title or there's an elizabeth taylor movie called ash wednesday but i saved that for actual ash wednesday to uh think about that yeah all right endless summer i just remembered the title after my endless sentence yeah the other thing i'll say about it's kind of like a nature documentary like it's almost like filming surfers as if they're

like animals in the wild like this is what they let's observe the uh the surfer in his native habitat right which is just chill dudes like really just the only tension is if there's travel issues or something right they can't get up you know i was gonna say i love that you picked a real surf movie and my woman a woman who loses her memory yeah mine's about schools he's like i can trump these guys i got it yeah i really blew it more time matt had more time to think about it sprung on him like it was a new anna and i and david i think uh i have a feeling is summer schools his answer in many different categories oh don't you worry you know it's probably his favorite kirsty alley movie no no. It's probably his favorite.

It's not? She has dead. No. What do you like better? Look Who's Talking or Star Trek? Look Who's Talking 2. I love Look Who's Talking. Yeah.

And 2. The movie. 2 held it up. 3 held it up. 2 really did. 2 held it up. Yeah. As soon as they decided the dog should also be talking i was like okay yeah get out of here come on that doesn't make any sense this is just about this is about mikey

yeah now this movie's stupid don't you wish you were in the room though where someone was like i got it yeah he looks up from a plate full of cocaine. Why don't we make the dog talk? I got to assume that, you know, maybe it took place partially in the summertime, but, you know, it's hard to know for sure. So that's why you couldn't answer that for this question. I know I have a really good feeling they never go to the beach and they look who's talking about this, but maybe they do. I don't know. Maybe they go

down to the Santa Monica Pier for playtime. Is that an L.A. movie? What's that? Look Who's Talking is in L.A.? I thought it was a New York movie. I don't know why. I bet you're right. It does feel like a New York movie. I remember the killing cabs.

Yeah. There's a scene where he runs out of traffic and he falls down a manhole and then he meets a pigeon lady. So New York. Now I'm thinking of Home Alone 2.

Alright, we gotta take a break, but those were some great recommendations to get us ready. People now they watch any of these movies. They're going to be so ready for summer and we'll be right back. We are back. And the first game we're going to play today is a little something that I call Holter Polter.

Oh, no. I'm scared. Yeah. Not Helter Skelter. That'd be scarier. This is Holter Polter. This is I'll say a fact,

fun or otherwise, and you tell me if it applies to actor Nicholas Holt or actor will polter or both oh my god honestly can i just quickly say i don't think i've i think until i saw guardians of the galaxy three i don't think i'd ever seen either of these people in any movie ever i don't know who they are right now either i was like oh these are real people well good you're all see this is good we got a level playing field here so you have to just make educated guesses but uh in the case of i mean i can give you a little bit of information especially uh i can do a nod

to what matt was just saying he said please this is the education we're going to base our guesses will falter is gold uh you know he's adam uh adam warlock the one of the sentinels is that what they're called and um he um centurion uh whatever they are the yellow people the gold people he's one of them in the recent uh guardians and then he's also um the reason that i even thought of this is because i i binged season two of the bear and he has a guest role as a chef in this season of the bear so so that's i just started it last night will poulter so you're like one or two in then yeah i don't think he's in yet yeah you haven't seen him yet you'll know when you do i think you'll feel it he picks this whole show up it's around episode four i think okay and then uh nicholas holt is currently uh he's the title character in

renfield which is now on uh it was in theaters a month or so ago and now it's on paramount plus um and i recommend i mean i recommend both those things but renfield is uh i think they mismanaged the marketing on renfield because people were like surprised it didn't do better in the, in the theaters. Did you see it, David? No. It seems like something that would appeal to you because it's, it's you know, it's basically Dracula is who Nicholas Cage is and Renfield's his sidekick. But in this one uh when they fight people or eat people or bite people or anything there's just tons of blood and there's tons of uh like

action like fighting like they actually like i do like wire like fighting and stuff oh sold i i would see it yeah but you didn't know it was going to have that. It just looked like, Oh, another movie about Dracula and his relationship with this guy who's stuck working for him. Um, so I think they mis-marketed it is my feeling. Um, but anyway, that being said,

let's play. Polter polter. Great name. First and only time ever, but the name, it had to happen. Polter Polter great name first and only time ever but the name it had to happen it had to happen because we've done other

ones in the past where names get mixed up because these two young actors I think it would be very easy to confuse one for the other at this point and they're both really good. And they're like character actors, even though they're young and good looking,

they're already playing character roles. Like they're on top of it. All right. So here we go. Anna, you get to go first. Great. If you miss,

it goes to Dave. If David missed, it goes to Dave. If Dave missed, it goes to Matt, who would get the gimme point in that case because there's only three options. And then it just proceeds like that. Whenever somebody gets one right, the next person is first for the next round, of which there will be three or four.

Ready, Anna? I'm ready. Here we go. Is over 29 years of age, Holt or Poulter or both? Poulter. I'm just going by my energies right now, like what I'm feeling.

Okay, well, that's that's one way to do it it gives you it ends up leading to a incorrect answer but that is an approach david of the remaining choices i mean i think it's a no-brainer that it's got to be pulled that's got to be holt yeah's got to be Holt. Yeah. Holt is over 29 years old. Yes. Oh, Matt,

what's left? I think they got to both be over 29. How did you do it? I was playing dumb at the beginning, but I know everything about these two actors yeah you really pulled that one off um you know kind of a sneaky question because uh polter is uh 30 and holt is 34 is only the four years between them but uh yeah they're both uh uh they you know both have been playing a lot younger than they are for

a while now they know it's only downhill from here so yeah because like uh you know the first movie we really well anyway i shouldn't say i'll stay quiet till the end here we got we got more stuff about these guys. I don't want to give anything away. Yeah. Back to you, Anna. Okay. See, what's funny about these is, like, even if you know a lot about them,

you shouldn't just know the answer offhand. Is it Aquarius? about them you shouldn't just know the answer offhand uh is an aquarius is it holt or poulter or both wouldn't it be funny if i was like both um i'm gonna go would that be funny that's two people could have the same side i know but as a as a guess that's a weird thing to guess i'm gonna go with holt i don't understand because it's weird isn't it weirder to get it wrong i was so confident. Yeah. Now I'm like, maybe, ah. It's like, it's two, and that's all I got. I'm seeing Poulter.

You're going with Poulter as an Aquarius? Yeah. Did I remember to play the winning sound when Matt got his right? No. I don't think so, no. Okay, this is what it sounds like. Wow. No, but now the question is,

do I apply it in this situation? I just want you to hear it. I'm on a I'm on a three. Yeah. You did it correct, yes. Nice. Mr. Will Poulter is a...

January 28th was when he was born. That makes him Aquarius. Holt is a December baby. Right. And I didn't bother to research. What does that mean? Does anyone know what that means? Probably Sagittarius.

I think he's a Sag. I totally think he's Sag. And he's about to go on strike soon. I stand with Sag. I totally stand with Sag. Every day, in every way. All right, so

what happened there? David got a point. That's what happened. Oh, yeah. Congratulations, David. All right. So, uh, uh, what happened there? David got a point. That's what happened. Oh yeah. Congratulations, David. Oh no. It's Matt's turn to go first. So exciting. Can I quickly say, I was going to guess that Will Poulter was, was an Aquarius. He just looks like an Aquarius. Oh, right. Cause he does liketer was, was an Aquarius. He just looks like an Aquarius. Oh, right.

Cause he does like, he's got resting Aquarius face. He just looks kind of fish like in some indefinable way. No, I also know what he looks like. Oh, well, I guess I just don't know.

You're right. But by being wrong, I was going to be right. Yeah. What Aquarius sounds like you're living in an aquarium. So you're a fish. Yeah, it's a water, right? You're a fish.

Yeah, it's true. I can't wait to look up both of these guys after. Yeah. I'm sure they're not who I'm thinking they are. I mean, they've both been in some pretty big movies that I will happily share with you at the end. big movies that i will happily uh share with you at the end i thought of one that i thought of a nicholas holt movie i've seen but i'm not gonna say because i don't want to give anyone else an advantage yeah very smart because clearly having knowing their films really has been important it's been so crucial guessing what sign that's how i got mine yeah matt Matt you're up first on this one

made his film acting debut at 14 years of age wow could be true of both of them and so I'm going to say both

interesting interesting answer by an interesting player thank you i have to reach for a noise making device that's incorrect and we have a way of turning this into a three-way tie. What an exciting race this will be. What was Matt's answer again? Matt's answer was both. Okay. I'm going to go with Holt. So between

Coulter or Holt, you've chosen Holt. I've chosen Holt. Yeah, we've talked about him more. That's the reason why yep did you like in school when you hadn't studied and you just had to it was multiple choice you had to guess were you good at that um you know that's kind of how i took my sats i feel like i was like wait i haven't had a c in a while and we should just this has got to be c right why would they give me this test of

with all these letters and yeah um i hated taking tests yeah no i would just go with instinct and i feel like i've heard his name more in the last five minutes so i'm going with oh my gosh this is why I didn't get into certain colleges. David gets the give me point on that one. Wow. Yeah. I wanted you to have it, David. You know, that's.

I appreciate it. You know, it's been a tough year, so this is big. Yeah. Poulter was 14 years old when he made this movie. You may be familiar with vaguely or may have even just seen it um it was called son of rambo and it was like kind of a kid's movie about this uh teenager who just uh goes full rambo uh but the title spell r-a-M-B-O-W. Oh, I love you. Rambo with a W. But he's still killing foreigners?

I don't know what, you know, he's just sort of, you know, he's making believe, but I forget where this story goes. Like if he's like stranded out in the wilderness alone or something. But I just remember the image of a kid dressed up like Rambo in a forest that was on the posters. I'm not even sure if I feel like I saw the movie, but I clearly don't remember it very well. But Nicholas Holt

made his debut at seven in some movie nobody's heard about or cares about, but a few years after that, after acting in a few other things, he played, he's the kid in About a Boy with Hugh Grant.

Yeah. Okay, so honestly, my instincts were right, because I was like, we've talked about him more. I feel like he was famous earlier, but I didn't, I didn't consider that you could have been in a movie before. Is that even legal? Yeah. You know, and it's, it's interesting watching, you know, both their careers starting out as kid actors

that they both turned out to be such skilled character actors because they're both different every time you see them. Poulter was in all the Maze Runner movies, which I think I saw one of them. Yeah, I saw one on a plane. Yeah. And then but here's a question that was going to come up. David won that game, by the way. Congratulations.

Thank you guys. This one this one was really one in the gym. You know what I mean? Yeah. A lot of work went into it. Yeah. Just like Rambobo you put your headband on and you got to work you guys drew first blood not me you know every time we say rambo though i'm thinking of miranda from sex in the city because that's her new name on the show i like that i like that a lot she goes by rambo now and i'm just like that i'm almost afraid to ask the circumstances that lead her to change her name

to Rambo, but kind of have to know what, what happened. It's her new relationship with Che Diaz. I think Che, Che deemed her a Rambo. I thought it's because she took over a town in Oregon after coming home from NOM. Who knows? There are only two episodes in. Yeah. Coming home from NAMM. Who knows? There are only two episodes in. Yeah, anything can happen.

I just thought she was like working a lot of camo into her wardrobe. That would make sense. Okay, so I was going to say, and I'll just tell you now, that one of the next facts was going to be co-starred in a film with tom hardy i still don't and the answer to that would be both because uh nicholas or i mean will poulter is in the revenant with tom hardy and uh leo dicaprio oh i saw that twice out there in the fucking cold getting raped by bears and then um uh the other person uh nicholas holt he's that maniac bald dude that's all spazzy running around in mad max fury road wow oh yeah wow isn't that crazy if you would even if you just asked me which one of those two was in mad max fury road i think i

would have guessed will poulter he looks more like a guy who would have been in that than yeah than holt but okay it was on the table it It was something I was going to ask. And then I kind of dismissed it as like too easy. If you're familiar with who Nicholas Holt is, but, uh, I am vaguely familiar with him and I didn't, I still can't place him in that. I only know, this is what I remembered. He was in the menu and that's what I know him from. Yeah. Yeah. That's, that's as close to being just like him that he's a regular guy something he just yeah just regular like he's always like you know british with the wigs and the you know and the beauty mark on the face you know and uh yeah waving a handkerchief around or he's like uh you know he's just really but he's just so like pale and weird in a Mad Max Fury Road.

You just wonder sometimes how does somebody get a part like that? Cause you can't look that weird at the audition. Maybe he did. Maybe just shaved his head, went in there. It was like, well, wish me luck. I'm committed to this now. You better hire me. Cause I just changed everything about my appearance for you it's all different and then um another thing i was gonna ask that i found interesting is that one of them and this one this would be like if it camem and that was uh that was holt in a movie from 2014 called the young ones

so so it's a good thing there wasn't a tie because that would have been boring i you know the other thing i wanted to say but i didn't want to give anyone else a a clue they would help them is um i think people, at least this is what I mostly know. Will Poulter from he is from the meme with Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston and some other person. And he's like, wait, you guys got paid for this. And I think it's something from where the Miller's maybe. But yeah, yeah, that's him. That's Will Poulter. He's just like looking at them both like he does like he's confused yeah

he's the one in where the millers where like something happens he's allergic to something his balls get really big i gotta see this movie i don't know how i missed where the millers but that's that's a ringing endorsement right there. What else do you need to have happen? That's movies like, that's how what an impact that scene makes because it's also a movie where Jennifer Aniston plays a stripper

and they show a scene where she does a striptease like somehow the giant testicles is even more memorable. You can see a strip top tease anywhere but huge balls yeah that movie's pretty fun like I

I don't mind going back to that one from time to time it's fun to see Ted Lasso being a dick you know because because in where the Miller's he's just the character of Sudeikis plays lying to everybody all the time all right because in where the millers he's just the good character sudekis plays just lying to everybody all the time all right so um david gets to go first in our second and final game

that we will play after these words we are back and uh david bor, G is silent, and people listening are like, what G? He gets to go first. Just like the K, come on. Yeah, both of you have silent letters, so fancy. I got it. Get on board, throw another letter in your name. Let's put a silent Z in front of Roisman. I'm into it.

Then you can be Anna with a Z. But that doesn't make any sense either. Wait, why did she call it, why did she say Liza with a Z? Because some assholes think Liza is spelled differently? Well, Liza with an S is Lisa. That's what I know from the song. That's what I'm saying. I don't know what the beef was, or I don't know who was confused.

It seems pretty straightforward. I don't know if she named her show or whatever that was after beef. I don't think she was like mad at somebody. You seem pretty adamant about clearing up the confusion, which maybe didn't exist. Yeah, I don't think I never, it never confused me for a moment. I'm more confused with like, do you say the E at the end of her dad's name, Vicente?

Or do you just call him Vincent? I think it depends what country you're in. Like on the Oscars, they'd go Vincent Minnelli, I think. Why didn't she write a song about that? That would have been more helpful.

Why didn't she write a song about that? That would have been more helpful. Okay. This game we're going to play is something that I call Whose Tagline Is It Anyway? I'll say a tagline from a motion picture. That is real. You guess what movie it is. That's all there is to it. there's gonna there's gonna be a theme

that might make it easy to figure out the answers as we go along but in general some of these are easy maybe like one of them some of them are impossible so just take a guess. Dream big. You never know what's going to happen. David gets to go first. No, I'm sorry. Yeah. Then Anna, then Matt.

Switching the order around. And you just get, you know, one guest, if you miss it, the next person gets a guest. And then the next person and much like many of the questions on jeopardy lately, there's a good chance. All three of you will not know the answer. Don't feel bad. Don't feel bad about it. This is like soccer. You get one in, you could win this thing. Okay.

This is like soccer. You get one in, you could win this thing. Okay. Okay. David, you ready? Yep. Okay. Of course, you don't possibly know what the theme is when they haven't even done one yet. So going first, isn't that much of an advantage? So congratulations. Here's the tagline. The tagline goes in search of a killer. He found someone who's either the love of his life or the end of it.

What motion picture would have the, would have the nerve to just describe exactly what's going to happen. I can't tell if this is a joke or not. I don't got it. You know, it was probably so I married an axe murderer. See, that's what I

that's the first thing that came to my head when you were like, I don't know if this is a joke or not, because that would be a way to sell that movie, I guess. Right. I don't know. I don't think Mike Myers' character is in search of a killer. I think he's just an innocent dumb shit.

That's what made me kind of back off and know that it wasn't right. But it was still a terrific guest, and thank you for playing, and please wait in the other room. No, I'll put my head down. Like if you're on a TV game show, your seat would just spin around, you know, like you just go off into the backdrop. All right.

Now, we'll be back to you in a second, into the backdrop all right uh no we'll be back to you in a second but for now anna gets a shot at in search of a killer he found someone who's either the love of his life or the end of it i i know it's not right but i it fits this movie. It's in my brain. Because I have two titles in my head and one I've never seen, but I'm like, that seems like the right title for that tagline. But I've never seen the movie. And then the other one, I'm like, yeah.

I'd go with yeah. Sounds more... Okay, well, I want a big Bride of Chucky. Yeah, it sounds more... Okay, well, I want a big bride of Chucky. Just think about it. I can't say yeah to that. I cannot.

I'm not using a buzzer sound in this game because I don't want to be harsh about it because these are difficult. Thank you. Yeah, I need to sleep tonight. Yeah yeah i'll only do the victory sound if that happens matt yeah um and come to your brain that might fit this a couple of movies that i don't think i've seen came to mind and i barely know what they're about so now i have to pick which one i'm going to say there it's yeah i'm i feel like Anna, this isn't going to be right, but I'll just say the first thing that popped in my head was kiss of the spider

woman. And then Doug, you can tell me what that movie is actually about because I don't think I'm even close. It's about too many to show a prison cell. Oh yeah. So that's not even, but, but it sounds like. I think it still fits. I think it still fits. What about kiss of Death? Is that something?

That was the other thing I was thinking of. Well, you know, Kisses is a really good, you're on the right track. You're also with Kiss of Death, you're on to the, maybe the kind of more film noir sort of side of this thing because this was uh a movie that starred al pacino and uh ellen barkin of course yes yes yeah and i was gonna say it i was gonna announce the answer but i was gonna say it as al pacino would say it okay can we get that anyway yeah

i've seen that and that's good you know everybody was pecking around and the you know those were not bad answers uh so let's try another one we'll start again with david the wedding picture doesn't always tell the whole story 27 dresses. Good guess. Good guess. Right. Cause the wedding picture is just of everybody at the wedding. And she's moving around so many other dresses.

You don't get to see cause you only went one to one wedding. But no, that's not it. Hmm. Anna. wedding. But no, that's not it. What is it? The wedding picture? Can you say it one more time? Sure. The wedding picture, which I don't even know if they'd use that in a tagline today. The wedding picture doesn't always tell the whole story. the wedding picture doesn't always tell the whole story it's not going to be bride wars but it could be you know it absolutely could be okay i'm going

with bride wars bride wars stands on the shoulders of this movie oh shit Ryan Morris exists because, well, I don't know, because of this movie, but it's definitely, you're in the right genre, of course. Because obviously that would be a really terrible tagline if the movie wasn't about a wedding. So, Matt, what do you think? Oh, man, there's so many wedding movies movies and I'm just like going through my head. And I'm going to say, I guess I'll just, again, once again, go with my first thought and hope it's somewhat maybe in the ballpark. I'm going to say my best friend's wedding.

Terrific guess. All three guesses were good. And also, you know, you're pulling kind of from the almost the same time period but i think that this is just a little too old i barely remember it uh it's a motion picture called betsy's wedding uh-huh okay it was uh molly ringwald it was betsy and uh alan alda was uh you know writer director star of the movie as betsy's you know it's basically father the bride but alan alda is his version of it yeah so betsy walked so kate hudson and anne hathaway could run with Bride Wars that's what I'm saying and Bridesmaids

like just any all those kind of movies that fit that category they each just help the other because if any one of them had been you know something they could point as you know how movie executives are if they could point at something and say that was a failure that's their excuse for not doing another movie

that has a wedding in it. Or mostly cast with women. But Betsy's wedding, I remember, was kind of a breakout for and now, of course, I can't think of his name.

Anthony Lopaglia. Because he plays kind of a nutty character he's funny in it um so it's kind of a breakout for him like people really liked his character the most well i just thought of another one that would have kind of fit this is um my big fat greek wedding but anyway i'll just tell you now weddings is not the theme but so far we have sea of love that's his wedding and we're back to david to go first on this next one all right we'll go something like this david it was the best of times it was the worst of times. It was the worst of times. It was rag time.

Have we lost our connection? No, I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. He's really digging deep. Stunned to silence. I don't. Yeah.

I just. I don't. I don't have it man I don't know another terrific guess at the end of the show I might just have

to declare the best guesser that's a W I'll take it Anna what do you think oh god my brain is going I wanted to say Liza with a Z I'm like I don't even know that's a movie it was a TV special

cabaret oh that's a great guess oh my way of saying that it's not the right answer that's not it yeah man I'll say it one more time it was the best of times it was the worst of times which also that's just stealing to take that that yeah i hope faulkner got paid for that was that faulkner i don't even know dickens dick whatever one of those guys uh it was ragtime uh i uh along the same lines as anna i was thinking chicago

oh okay um this was a weird one and i didn't i didn't know how it would play out but uh that was the tagline for a motion picture called rag time god damn i thought that too and i was like that's crazy it was right there yeah it was all you had to do is reach out is it the same as the play ragtime is it the same yeah and now which then became a but no well there was the move there was a book called ragtime by el doctor row then that became a movie and then all many years later it became a Broadway musical, and now it's going to be a Broadway musical that gets revived in the next season or so.

And I'm psyched about it, because I think it's a good show. I like it a lot. Okay, so here we go, David. We're back to you. Yeah, we are. Yeah, ready? Yeah, I'm ready. Okay okay here we go murderers come with smiles

this is one of the worst taglines i've ever read murderers come with smiles can you spell come for Oh, man. Murders come with smiles. Oh, murders come with smiles. I am going to say. I don't know. I don't know how much time do I got I gotta be running out of time yeah you're running out of time

but okay God bless America are you about to hang up is that a movie isn't that a movie isn't that a movie isn't that the action movie yeah they were like funny I think

no they weren't yeah God bless America they weren't as much murderers as just people that would shoot people who deserved it I think they were like vigilantes right yeah but that's not it what do you think anna i'm gonna come with smiles i want to say it because he's a clown oh yeah that is good but why would why would it be

plural though the murder yeah well i guess murderers yeah he's still one of the murderers or saw he's part of the murdering the world of murderers uh but that's not right uh matt again i i was also thinking of clowns and i i thought of uh killer clowns from outer space uh sure i guess they uh they do kill so that does make a murderers with clown smiles on their dumb weird faces. But this is this one's a real head scratcher. That is the tagline. One of the taglines for the movie Goodfellas. What?

What the fuck? Gotta be kidding me. God damn it. Was that the one like the family friendly they were like let's tell them they smile i don't know it had some really odd taglines that uh that one was the weirdest one that's like i don't can't believe that they would do that like i guess it makes sense with a picture of them all smiling you know like because they, because they do have those moments, especially Pesci, where he's acting like he's having the best time of his life.

All right. Being a crazy murderer. Okay. We're getting down to it here. David, I really got faith in you on this next one. This can happen. If it gets

past all three of you, if this one gets past all three of you, I'll be upset. This summer, it's one of those taglines. This summer, Prince Akeem discovers America. I think it's going to have to be coming to

America. That is correct. How do you spell coming in that one though? Oh, that's C. That's, that's what it came down to was one of the most obvious taglines even has a word from the title in the, obvious taglines. Even has a word from the title in the line. Really laid it out for you.

So, but congratulations, David. That means you win the game. This is insane. Yeah, you really pulled that one out. It worked out great. But has anybody figured out what the theme is? I can't figure it out. That's the crazier part. I cannot for the life of me understand what connects these movies.

This theme is going to blow your mind. Are you ready? So wait, let's go through the movies again. We got Sea of Love. Good idea. Good idea. Sea of Love. Sea of Love. What was the second one betsy's wedding betsy's wedding yeah good fellas ragtime time coming to america coming to america let me just throw in july if we had to continue playing another one would have been The Exorcist 3.

What? Oh, I'm gone. Oh. All of those movies have one thing in common. Maybe another thing, maybe a second thing, but the one thing that I'm aware of is that they all have roles played by samuel l jackson oh man wow look at what the range on that guy the range and but also just the uh you know just sticking with it and also just putting up with

such tiny, stupid roles. In Sea of Love, he's straight up credited as Black Man. In Ragtime, he's Gang Member Number Two. In Betsy's Wedding, he's Taxi Disp dispatcher in exorcist 3 he's dream blind man oh my god i love this because you know he's a superstar so i'm like wait he he paid his dues early on it's all these shitty roles yeah not only but like shitty roles in some of these are very memorable movies and like like coming to america he's got that huge scene where he comes in and tries to hold up the shotgun yeah

and uh it's very impactful like i saw that movie again recently and i'd always kind of thought of it i know there's boobs and stuff but i always kind of thought of it as like something family's like and these the swearing in that movie is constant and especially sam jackson just does his thing in that scene like he's just motherfucker this and motherfucker that oh yeah it's crazy but then so he finally with goodfellas is when he finally got a name his name in goodfellas was Stax Edwards. Oh, right, right, right, right. He got killed after the Lufthansa heist, right? Uh-huh.

Yeah. But anyway, that's... And, you know, no particular reason to salute Sam Jackson other than I don't want to be, like, doing ads for these corporations at this current time during the strike. But, you know, he's, uh, you know, uh, what's his name? Mick Fury is back on, uh, with a series. And he's, uh, you kind of touched on this and, uh, he's, uh,

I think that Sam Jackson, because he's in the star Wars movies, he's in Avengers movies, like he's got, he's in so many different, uh, you know, giant IPs that, um, he's, uh, the most, you know, he's made the most of the box office than any other actor. Wow. Yeah. I think he's number one. Cause initially you think, Oh, it's gotta be like maybe Harrison Ford cause the star Wars, but, but it's Sam Jackson.

So he's all Donya's is in like avatar and Avengers movies. He must be top woman. Uh, I would think, uh, cause you know, um, to just play the roles, those kinds of roles in so many big movies. She's really, she's really killing it. All right. So, uh, congratulations, David Borey. You, you pulled out the wind. Congrats. Yeah. Yeah. We'll have, you know, get a few hits of oxygen, you know, you know,

and, uh, we'll get you, we'll have you back on as soon as we can, but, you know, we might have to talk to the commission about, it might be cheating that you're phoning in from Denver because maybe it makes you smarter to be at a higher elevation. I've always said that. Yeah, so it might be a cheat. But what would you like to plug, dude? Oh, listen to my podcast, All Fantasy Everything,

The Yoohoo Room at Flappers would be a terrible place for your show. Thank you. Okay, it's off the list. I mean, it's a great small room but it's too small you need to go so you need to play the main room at flappers or you have to just pantages theater right like

one of those over the hill to the pantages or the bowl yeah yeah maybe the greek theater um well thank you all three of you for being here. Here's my, here's Doug plugs for you. Doug loves movies is going to be, where is it going to be? Pittsburgh on Saturday, July 15th at a place called the Bottle Rocket Social Hall as part of WDVE Radio's Comedy Festival. That's at 4.20 in the afternoon. I'm doing stand-up in Sacramento at the Punchline. Oh, I see. I got the dates out of order.

But anyway, I'll mention the city first, and if you're there, then just listen. Sacramento, Punchline, stand-up on monday dabs day july 10th and then uh douglas movies is back to san diego at the american comedy company on opening night of comic-con like we do every year on wednesday july 19th douglasmovies.com is where all my dates are at i'm just reading today that uh all the big studios and probably all the big actors are uh blowing off comic-con so i think comic-con is going to be like back to its purest form it's just going to be mostly about comics yeah weird huh yeah those those panels are going to be like, just, I've, I've heard cause my wife works for an animation studio that,

that produces Futurama and I think none of the actors are, you know, like creators are going to be able to go. So it's just going to be the animators up on the panel. Just they're like the biggest introverts in the world sitting on this panel. It's going to be super awkward. Drawing on the table in front of them and like morning questions. So go check that out. Check out the, I'm going to plug that. Check out the future on the panel.

Yeah. I just don't know. It's hard to know what's going to happen. Cause cause you know, with SAG about to go on strike, but also the writer's guild already being on strike, it just feels like none of the, you know, all the actors have a great excuse to just not go to comic-con and you know, but I think there'll still be some diehards that just go, there's just going to be some types that just go anyway. Like it'll be a big year for like probably like Kevin Smith or somebody like

that. Who's so tied into the comic book world that it's not like he's a scab or crossing a picket line or something. I't think i don't know it's so hard to know where to draw the line with these things but i'm going to be in san diego i may not actually go to comic-con but i'm going to do the douglas movies there because that there really seems like the right thing to do um this is a short one matt so get ready with the uh i'm ready thanks one more time to my guests matt belknap anna reisman david bori as always nah now it's time for doug to watch another talky eyes gold, his viewing prowess makes him cocky There's no room in his heart for you

Cause Doug loves movies
