Yeah, yell it up.
Late comers.
Guy's got a Whole Foods bag.
That reminds me of my Whole Foods bit.
Did I tell you guys I came up with a slogan for Whole Foods?
You know that supermarket chain?
I came up with a slogan for Whole Foods, and it would be Whole Foods for your food hole.
That's a good slogan.
That's theirs for free if they want to take it.
Welcome, everybody, to I Love Movies.
Thank you for coming out.
UCB Theater, Before Comedy, Death Ray.
I like to do reviews on Twitter and and on best week ever that are eight
words or less so let's start with one uh my life in ruins starring nia vardalos my eight words or
less review of that is my big fat greek bullshit part two that's my review uh you could write eight words or less reviews on twitter and
and send them to at doug benson and that would be cool also i've been playing lots of internet games
and i went on a special thing.com today and select randomly a winner who has decided
i always say at the end of the show Willem Dafoe is a shithead
which
started randomly like people always
keep writing to me now and saying why is Willem
Dafoe a shithead it's like because
he's not a shithead you stupid shithead
that's the joke
he's a respected actor he does
great work in pretty much every
genre and no one has
ever said a bad thing about him,
and he doesn't go on talk shows.
So it's easy to just go,
oh, Willem Dafoe's a shithead,
and have everyone fall in line.
But he's a perfectly nice gentleman, as far as I know.
And there will be a new shithead
at the end of tonight's episode,
based on the winner from my contest
on aspecialthing.com. So look forward to that. episode based on the winner from my contest on a special thing calm so look
forward to that which brings me to my guests let's bring our guests out here
oh my god you could you could see those of you those of you have joined us here
at the UCB theater right before comedy death ray on Tuesday June whatever this
is I've got three microphones,
which means there's going to be three guests,
and they're all intensely funny dudes.
Somebody wrote to me recently on Twitter
saying that I have too many dudes on this show
and that it's too much of a banana factory.
And so I'm going to try to up the donut factory quotient
of the program in the future.
I'll try to work on it,
but Sarah Silverman gets busy,
and she's the only girl that I know
that I can ask to do the show.
I know other ones.
That's not fair.
We'll try to remember to edit that part out.
My three guests tonight, let's bring them out.
There's a gentleman who is the co-founder or founder.
I've got to figure it all out.
I'll talk to him when he gets out here.
Matt Belknap is here, everybody.
Let's hear it for Matt.
Let's bring him out.
Hello.
Pick a seat.
Never Not Funny or the Sidekick.
Do you like the word Sidekick?
That's okay.
Sure.
All right.
That's a podcast.
If people don't know, Never Not Funny.
Oh, I thought you meant that's a podcast when you have a sidekick.
I was like, do you like being called Sidekick?
Yep, that's a podcast.
I call Sidekicks podcast. There's a kick and a sidekick. I was like, do you like being called sidekick? Yep, that's a podcast. I call sidekicks podcast.
There's a kick and a sidekick.
Yeah.
Well, that's cool.
And you are the sidekick with James Pardo,
who's been on this show several times.
Right.
And let's bring out the other two guests.
This next gentleman I met when we were doing
the first time I tried to get on
the last shitty fucking bullshit comic
nonsense
retard
standing.
This guy was a semi-finalist as well
and we've been friends ever since. Please welcome
David Huntsberger, everybody. Let's hear it for David
Huntsberger.
We may have even met before
last comic standing. I guess we probably
met at the Austin the You're from Austin
And I always played the Cap City Comedy Club there
Yeah we
And we met there
And then at Last Comic
Not only did we meet you were in our sketch show
I did a sketch with you guys
Where I was like I played me
Hi not knowing what the fuck was going on
And you guys played the rest of the sketch
Yeah But we didn't actually like meet too much I was still like running food around not knowing what the fuck was going on. Yeah. And you guys played the rest of the sketch. Yeah.
But we didn't actually like meet too much.
I was still like running food around and...
Yeah, yeah.
I knew you.
I recognized you.
I'm not that high.
And then this final gentleman,
I don't even know what to say about him
other than he might be the best person alive.
That's overselling it Jonah Ray everybody let's
hear it for my friend Jonah Ray is here how do we meet Jonah Jonah's a comedian
and one time I accidentally said his name when I was introducing Jonah Hill
at a show I had to introduce Jonah Hill cuz he was practicing being funny for
funny people and I said here he is, everybody.
Jonah Ray. Because I have a friend
named Jonah Ray.
Oh, look at you. You switched it out so you have the taller
microphone. I'm taller, that's why.
Huntsberger has the medium. I thought of it, so I'm the second
best person. And Matt has the small.
That's true. I'm going handheld.
This is like a podcast with the three bears.
Mine is just right.
My microphone's too fat.
Do you guys have Twitter...
PH, do you guys have Twitter names
that we should know about?
Like Matt Belknap from AST?
I have two.
Yeah, it's a special thing.
It's for the website,
and then Never Not Funny for the podcast.
So it's at a special thing,
or it goes at AST something?
No, there's AST News that goes out on goes out on twitter oh okay but that's not you no it is but the account is a special thing
okay that's just a hash the news is listening right now just tell them exactly what they need
to do to follow you just go to a special thing or never not funny okay a special thing or both
do both or why do you have to put the at special thing. Or both. Do both.
Or at never not funny.
Why do you have to put the at?
Because if you just put it after twitter.com,
that works too.
Yeah, but I really,
I love the whole at thing.
You do.
I can tell.
I love it.
Because at was on the computer
and typewriter keyboard for our entire lives.
Yeah.
And it finally,
now is its chance.
Thanks to Twitter, everything's at this and at that.
Used to be at whatever, and some people would look at it and go,
what is that squiggly weird A symbol?
Twitter's not the one that made it famous.
The internet in general.
Old tiny cursing.
The internet helped, but Twitter really...
Twitter has really put it in a Hollywood mansion.
Yeah, you're really putting email on that.
For the rest of its life.
What about email?
No.
But you never said it?
I guess you do.
I guess you go such and such at.
You're right.
I take it all back.
I also take back what I said about my life in ruins.
It looks incredible.
So what's your Twitter name, David Huntsberger?
It's Huntsberger Junk.
It's a very uninteresting Twitter account.
I really just, I like put links to comics that I draw
that are not that good.
So when some shit comic goes on
and you follow them,
you then tell everyone, follow this shit comic?
Cartoon, like drawing.
Oh, okay.
Wait, you have links to your comics that you draw?
Right, yeah.
And they're shitty?
They don't have like a wide... Why do you draw shitty comics?
If I drew comics, I would make them so good.
That's what I think when i'm drawing i'm like
this is gonna be gold if they're shitty why don't you send them to the new yorker
that's how i feel why are they just linked up on your twitter account all right so huntsberger
junk yeah that's where you need to go at huntsberger chunk and what's your twitter name
jonah i don't i don't twitter i hate yeah. He's so cool. No, that's not the
You're the fucking coolest guy alive.
You're like Spider-Man
when he had that beat period in part
three.
I'm just joking around. I don't care.
To me, it's like smoking weed. You're on Twitter
or you're not.
You divide people up into two categories,
man. There's Twitter people and then there's a non
twitter people shack over here and jonah ray over here yeah but i could still be friends with the
non-twitter people thanks i'm glad i just i just think that you're shallow and empty no i know i'm
on something just as shitty it's a tumblr i have a tumblr you have a tumbler yeah isn't that where you read books or something
no no it's where it's just like a micro uh it's like blogging it doesn't that come with a twitter
no you could you could uh you know you could interface and synergize the two what's the thing
with what's the books on it called what's that called the books thing kindle oh God. I've been confusing Tumblr with Kindle?
Tumblr is like... Jesus, I'm dumber than Daisy of Love.
Where Twitter is just like,
look how clever I'm being right now.
Tumblr is like,
look at this shit I found.
And it's like a picture of a dog and a boy.
But that's...
One dog, one boy.
It's the sequel to
But seriously
Did you see that new website
Explosions and boobs
There's a website you go to
Explosionsandboobs.com
And every time you go there's just a picture of any explosion
And then a set of boobs
And then you press refresh
Another explosion another set of boobs
Wait are you
talking naked boobs no they're clothed boobs oh they're clothed yeah the explosions are fucking
naked is the explosion is the explosion why don't they put the explosion on another side of a wall
then or some shit if the boobs are closed i want a real explosion and real boobies. A very coy explosion. That's a little thing of smoke.
Because that's probably like world record erections have occurred
during an explosion followed immediately by boobs.
That's just like, I'm hard.
Let's do whatever it is you need to do.
World record erections.
Yes, WREs.
So let's explain what a specialthing.com is,
because I've been wanting to promote them more on the podcast,
but I always forget to.
Specialthing.com, it's a place where people who love comedy
can go and get together and chat about it.
Yep, that's right.
It started out as a kind of a tribute site to Tenacious D.
Yes. That's what a special out as a kind of a tribute site to tenacious d yes that's what a
special thing is this one of their songs and um what else do people need to know about it uh go
there and try not to be a jerk that definitely that but also there it's a record label that
you're on that's right i'm on it uh paul f tompkins sclar brothers jen kirkman our friend jonah ray here had a
vinyl seven inch record seven inch is that still available or i believe it's so i imagine so oh
there's still copies available of your seven inch all right and uh that's just fun to say
can we still get a hold of your 7-inch?
And yeah, so is that all they need to know?
AST Records, you could go to.com or a special thing.com.
And it's just for people who like comedy.
Both the record label and the site are a great way for people to get into stuff you may not be familiar with,
but that has this special thing, seal of approval.
Indeed.
It's all on iTunes, too, right?
Everything.
Yeah, all the AST Records releases are on iTunes. A lot of the releases are getting on those little up-and-comer comedy
alternative collections they do on iTunes.
Yeah, yeah.
It's cool.
We're slowly getting out there.
Yeah, iTunes.
It's fucking so easy to navigate and find exactly what you want. on itunes yeah yeah it's cool yeah there's we're slowly getting out there so yeah itunes it's
fucking so easy to navigate and find find exactly what you want like you'd think that comedy podcast
audio would be enough to narrow it down to find me but uh no you got to be more more specific
just like you want to rent bolt comes up i do want to rent bolt now that you mention it Have you guys seen
That's the next question
Back up Doug
Have you guys been in any movies
The three of you
I know that I'm not aware of any
That you've been in
I was in one
And it was really really bad
Like a theatrical release movie or straight to DVD?
It was supposed to be a theatrical release movie
because it was starring a comedy's John Heater, Napoleon Dynamite.
You were in Blades of Glory?
No, I was in a movie called Mama's Boy.
Yeah.
Wait a second, there's Grandmother's Boy?
Yeah, there's Grandma's Boy and then John Heater, Jeff Daniels
And someone else
Diane Keaton
And then what's the blonde girl's name
That was in
Anna Faris
Yeah, thanks
That's the director
I wish this were a contest in prizes
Because the audience
Is out guessing the entire panel
whenever Jonah goes, uh, and then there's an answer.
So you've seen this movie, person in audience?
No.
Wow.
There's somebody in the audience that knows everyone involved,
but still has not seen it, like the smartest shopper.
He read the script before. No, just not gonna rent it did you see observing report yes i did anna ferris is insanely um what's the expression i'm looking for unscared uh
like fearless is she a fearless actor? Unscared or fearless, yes.
Unscared is also what I call that Jeff Bridges movie about the plane crash.
She's crazy amazing in that movie.
I've always been a fan, but boy, did she really knock that one out of the park.
Yeah, she's good at playing a really irritating blonde dumb girl.
Who knew?
But who's also funny.
She's funny.
So I normally play the Kevin Bacon game with all the acts,
but maybe, so what was the name of your movie again?
Mama's Boy.
Mama's Boy, and Anna Faris was in it?
Yes.
Has she ever been in anything with Kevin Bacon?
Or someone that's been in a movie with Kevin Bacon?
Was she ever in a movie with Jack Nicholson?
No, she wasn't.
All right, I'll give you some time to think about it. Thanks.
And get back to me if you can figure out,
because you might be one or two steps away from Kevin Bacon.
I never thought, well, Jeff Daniels seems like it'd be closer.
Jeff Daniels?
Don Keaton would be.
Jeff Daniels?
Well, Don Keaton was in what with Kevin Bacon?
He was in with Steve Martin, and then he was in...
Steve Martin was in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles,
and Kevin Bacon had an uncredited cameo in that,
and Father and Bride were...
They're less steps.
He did it.
He did it, so you got two steps.
Hunchberger thinks we can go less steps.
I think so.
Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson in the movie where you see her 60-year-old boobs.
Oh, something's got to give.
And then A Few Good Men.
Yeah, that's the same amount of moves that that guy just did.
I thought you had three.
No, you took one out.
I just want to get close to Whitewater Summer.
That's my favorite Kevin Bacon movie.
Sean Astin was in that.
Yeah, Sean Astin.
He was great.
That movie's awesome.
He was great in Lord of the Rings and 24.
Is this what I Love Movies is?
Which you can't say about anybody else.
Yeah.
What about I Love Movies?
What were you going to say?
Is this all it is?
Just like, you see that movie?
It's a good movie.
It's kind of like, yeah, I stole Chris Farley's idea for a talk show,
which is just to just sit there and go, yeah, I love, yeah, that was great,
that thing you did.
It's that thing you do. But then I had three guys on who none of them have been in something so i have nothing to talk about no we have plenty to talk about i hung out on the set of a river
runs through it for a couple weeks hey kevin bacon there's his wait what do you mean you
hung out on the set were you dressed as a bear wait Wait, wait, wait.
I even confused that.
I got the wrong movie.
I should have said,
let's back up.
Seriously, we're going to do
an edit on this one.
All right, here we go.
Hey.
Really?
Yeah.
Doug, I hung out on the set
of A River Runs Through It
for a couple weeks.
Don't fuck it up with the laughs.
It's got to match
when we cut it in.
All right, one more time.
Doug, I hung out on the set
of A River Runs Through for a couple of weeks.
Oh, yeah?
Were you dressed up like a trout?
Woo!
I was expecting bear again.
The first time, that's where my crazy, stupid, drug-addled old brain goes,
is I thought the first time you said that, you said Legends of the Fall.
With Bart the Bear. You know know Brad Pitt in nature yeah I stole a Caesar salad from the set of catch me if you can once in San Pedro nice yeah but I also like
that everyone I like that everyone laughed it was you were you dressed as a
bear even though it's a movie about fly fishing. It was in nature. It's not about fly fishing. River runs through it?
No, it's like river rafting and then
it's like, why water river?
That's a river wild.
Starring your friend
Kevin Bacon. Yes, close
personal friend Kevin Bacon.
Alright, so
Answering your question,
he stole a salad from a movie,
he hung out on a set,
and I've seen a few movies.
You have seen a few movies.
We went and saw, what was it,
Darjeeling Limited or Express?
Yeah, Darjeeling Limited.
I always get confused about what kind of service it is,
if it's limited or Express.
But either way,
that movie should be called
The Weird Nose Brothers.
Because they all have different noses
and they're all weird.
So you guys know that I love to play
movie games and movie-related games
on Twitter,
and it drives a lot of my followers away because
their mailboxes are flooded with everybody's guesses and stuff or i don't know i don't know
what it is it upsets people so much but um you know it's something i'm willing to do because uh
a lot of people seem to like it and one of the games i, I haven't done it for the past two weeks, but I do Build a Title
Tuesday, which is also known
as hashtag B-A-T-T.
And I've actually got it into the trending
topics. I know you're not impressed, Jonah,
because it's not your world,
but when you get something... I want to know!
I want to understand! When you come up with
something and it gets into the trending topics,
it's like... I can't
even describe it. It's probably the best thing that's ever happened to anybody.
It's like recording a record.
It's better than winning an Oscar and making out with Halle Berry when you go up to accept it.
That's how great it is.
It's like having a top ten hit on the radio.
Okay.
No, that's impressive.
That was a great analogy.
No, it was a perfect analogy,
but I brought you guys in here to be hilarious
and not accurate.
No, but I should say,
Matt is very funny on Never Not Funny.
But not here.
You said that, Jonah Ray.
Jonah Ray said that.
Don't look at my notes.
You're already cheating in seeing what the first title is on Build a Title.
So Build a Title is essentially the way it works on,
and it's got a lot of faults and a lot of problems,
but the way it works on Twitter is I suggest a title of a movie,
and then people on Twitter, since we've only got 140 characters,
I say just add on to the end of the title until we've got a big, long title
that's either taking up too much space and therefore somebody wins,
or it's got a stopper title, like a name that you cannot add to.
And this will all make much more sense once we start playing.
And I've already told all the guys how this works,
but I'll start with David Huntsberger because I've actually played this in a...
Was it in a long car drive that we played it?
I think it was actually maybe the inception of the game
in Sacramento.
You mean Dan Gabriel?
Why were we playing it, though?
We were bored for some reason, right?
Yeah, something like that. But then we playing it, though? We were bored for some reason, right? Yeah, something like that.
But then we were a lot more strict, though.
We didn't allow I to change the I's and things like that.
Right, but in this version, you can drop the thes in the beginning of titles.
It's got to be motion pictures that I can verify in the 2007 Letter and Walton Guide.
And you have to add it to both ends
until it's completely stopped up,
and then that means that someone will be the winner.
And I will play along on this.
But let's start off with you.
And also, if you do a clever punny title,
then that's automatically a stopper
if it's really clever.
And that'll be, even though I'm playing, that'll also be my decision.
All right.
So in honor of, it opened this weekend.
By the time people listen to this podcast, it'll be out there.
So in honor of Land of the Lost, I thought that'd be a good title to start with.
So Land of the Lost, add a name to the beginning or end of Land of the Lost
David Huntsberger.
Okay. I think everyone has the same
initial
thoughts. Maybe they do.
Let's not predict what other people are
thinking and let's fucking play
the game.
In a quick manner.
Maybe a little obscure Babes
in Toyland of the Lost. Oh, I like that. Babes in Toyland of the Lost.
Oh, I like that.
Babes in Toyland of the Lost.
Mr. Belknap, it's to you.
Babes in Toyland.
I thought we were building off the end.
Do I build off the end now?
Well, that's on Twitter.
We only build off of the end because it gets too complicated if we build off of both ends.
But here, playing in live action, talking.
We can go whichever way.
You can go either way you need a
title it ends in babes or begins in lost i'm gonna go babes in toyland of the lost highway
oh i like it then we come back around to me and i say babes in toyland of the lost highway of the gun.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
That's nice because you just used the way.
So, now,
Jonah, you can end with a title that ends in babes or begins
in gun and you have three seconds
and if you can't
think of one, you will be eliminated.
Movie that ends in babes or begins in gun those are my favorite kind of movies or just starts off with a hot chick or ends with a
fucking bullet or gun or guns or someone named gunner or do you just want to answer about the
un no i'm just saying that like you can you you can do kind of a play on the last word.
Okay, so Babes in...
Wait.
Babes in Toyland of the Lost Highway of the Unbreakable.
Gunbreakable.
I'm going to take Gunbreakable.
I'm going to take that.
Because that is so stupid.
I have to take it.
So we're to David Huntsberger.
We need a title that ends in babes
or begins in breakable or ubble
or unbreakable.
Yikes.
Or yikes.
Unbreakable Durham.
Wow.
I like that. I like that.
I like that.
Again, again, really toying with the whole concept,
but in a way that is very clever.
So now we go to Matt Belknap,
and we have Babes in Twilight of the Lost Highway
of the Unbreakable Bull Durham.
Unbreakable Durham.
Sorry.
And so you could go with...
Okay.
Is there anything that begins with ham?
That's too long.
Let me read the whole...
Because I can't keep that all in my head.
Babes and Toy Land of the Lost Highway of the Unbreakable Durham Hamlet.
Hamlet.
Oh, my God. I can't believe it's my turn. I want that one. Because I. Oh my god.
I can't believe it's my turn.
I want that one.
Because I'm ready to go.
Babes in Toilet of the Lost Highway of the Gunbreakable Durham.
Let the right one in.
Easy.
All right.
So you have to begin in or end in babes, Jonah Ray.
No one's going to end in babes.
That's not going to happen.
Okay, you're probably right.
I've got the book ready.
I've got Leonard Maltin ready to verify if anybody throws out a bullshit title.
All right.
Like, I got you, babe.
Might be a title, right?
That probably is a movie.
Sounds like a title.
How about this?
Babes in Toyland of the Lost Highway of the Gunbreakable Durham
Let the Right One in the Name of Love.
That's a title called, there's a movie called In the Name of Love?
That's exactly my thought process. Oh my God. Probably. You're taking a wild guess at a title called There's a movie called In the Name of Love That's exactly my thought process
Oh my god
You're taking a wild guess at a title
I'm taking a wild guess
Alright let's look it up
In the Name of Love is what you're calling it
Can I give him a hand
No you can't
He guessed In the Name of Love
And I'm going to look that fucking thing up
In the Name of the Pope King would have been a way you could have gone.
Oh!
You could have gone in the Navy.
You could have gone in the realm of the senses.
In the shadow of Kilimanjaro would have been a stopper.
What did you go with?
In the name of love?
In the army now is what I went with.
No, no, you didn't.
You went with in the name of love. There's in the mood for love in the name of love? In the Army Now, that's what I went with. No, no, you didn't. You went with in the name of love.
There's in the mood for love,
in the line of fire,
which is the same thing.
No,
there's no in the name of love.
You know why? It's because it came out in 2008.
Leonard Maltin.
Leonard Maltin's precious 2007 book
doesn't have that. Yep, but that's what we're using to judge.
You are eliminated.
David Huntsberger.
We sure did just give you a bunch of options.
Yeah.
I'll go one that you didn't name starring,
now I'm forgetting her name.
I don't care who's in it.
In the Cut.
Oh, with, yeah.
Meg Ryan and Mark Ruffalo. The end of meg ryan in the cut so we have babes in the lost highway of the gun break a bull durham let the right one in the cut got any any of this
start with cut matt see i wanted to go in the name of the father which would have given us some nice stuff down
too bad there hasn't been a movie made about eliza cuthbert called cuthbert
that would fit in perfect in the cuthbert
anything can you think of anything that starts with cut i can't think of anything yeah
and i'm still working on babe but oh babes i got Babes. I got nothing. What do you mean, oh?
You're out. I'm eliminated.
I'm eliminated. You're eliminated for good.
Yeah, I know. But it's a really good title.
But if you have one, it'll be neat to hear.
No, I'm okay. I don't want it. Alright, so Matt, you don't have anything?
Yeah.
We'll call you eliminated.
I think I'm stumped.
In the cut.
Yeah.
I think we're at a stopper.
I got it.
I think we are.
Some people in the audience think they have one, but I don't have it, so I can't.
So it's not fair.
Shut up.
That is a good one.
Cutthroat Island.
Is that what you thought of?
Yeah.
Exactly. Yeah, that's what i have jana davis classic cutthroat island what did you have for reels cutting edge oh yeah that's a good one too damn it does someone twitter you a better uh
cut cut cut let me see if there's anything else that started with cut it's not jona
but david hudsberger is our winner,
and hopefully people that listen to this
will kind of understand better how to play the game on Twitter.
Because when I play it on Twitter,
people get, they lose their minds.
They lose their minds with confusion.
And you have prizes, right?
Aren't there like prizes?
Sometimes I give out like a CD.
It's strange that a prize,
people will play if the prize is
I will follow you for a week.
But everyone that I've done that to
I haven't unfollowed so far.
Somebody might, oh Cutter's Way would have been good.
Cutthroat Island,
Cutting Class, Cutting Edge.
That's it. Those are the ones.
Cyborg doesn't count.
Oh yeah, Cutter and Bone.
Cutting the Cheese
Is there no one called Cut Above?
There's no National Lampoon's Cutting the Cheese
There's no Cuts Like a Knife
There's no anything that starts with cuts
That's weird
Until now
So that's Build a Title
Tuesday that I play on.
So next Tuesday when I play it on Twitter,
people can join in and play on there.
And now let's see if we have time for...
Yeah, we have plenty of time.
That went by quicker than I thought it was going to.
We're in good shape to play...
Another game of that.
Do you want to do one more of that?
Or do you want to move on to the Leonard Maltin game?
The Leonard Maltin game is best three out of however many it takes
to get one of you to get to three.
So it could be pretty involved.
It could take a while.
Yeah, let's do that.
Let's do another Build a Title if we have time at the end,
which will be remarkable if we have time at the end
because I've never had time at the end on this show forever.
Can I start and lead you on?
Jonah, how do you feel about that?
That was from a guy named Umlat on a special thing.
You guys are in for a treat.
Wait till you hear who's a shithead?
All right, so what did you suggest, David?
I was going to start with you,
me giving a movie,
giving you some clues
so you can show your prowess.
Clues?
What kind of clues?
The characters,
the year the movie came out.
Isn't that how you play it?
Yeah, but you're just going to do it
off the top of your head?
No, no, no.
I was going to take the book.
No, no, no, no.
Wait a minute. No, no, no, no. Wait a minute.
No, no, no, no, no.
Nobody takes the book.
I don't know if you guys all know the folklore behind this game,
but one time Graham Elwood took this book
and threw it into a puddle of water that was on the stage,
and he's no longer with us because I mind-murdered him.
I would never.
No, what happens now, David,
the last time he was on the podcast,
were we even playing this game yet?
I've never been on the podcast.
See, there you go.
The last time he was on the podcast was never.
So, basically, we play the game,
and I just sort of host it,
and everyone else plays it. I don't participate in it. Oh, okay. Yeah, I and I just sort of host it, and everyone else plays it.
I don't participate in it.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I had to take myself out of it, because I was too good at it.
That's why we're on the show then.
Not really.
But today's, you know, every time I come up with a genre that the movies are going to be all from,
but I got lazy about that.
Not lazy, but I just couldn't think of a genre that appeal that
that would be perfect for this time of year like is there a may early june genre
this summer like summer blockbusters graduation one crazy summer movies called one crazy summer
i'm a fan i'll try that sometime you'll probably get it right every time I get to Bobcat Goldthwait.
Yeah, I'll always just answer John Cusack.
Yeah.
So, prom movies.
Did you see my idea?
Maybe in the next one.
I'm going to do another one in two weeks.
That's a good one for the next one.
Movies that have proms in them.
I like that.
I like that I have amplified sound and no one heard me say that.
Heard you say what?
I said prom movies.
That was your idea?
Yeah. You said prom movies that I heard. What about prom movie that was your idea you said prom movies I said graduation movies too when you said both those things I heard Father's Day movies and I thought other than the one with
Billy Crystal and Robin Williams there is not a good genre and the one with Kirk Cameron and Robin Williams, there is not a good genre.
And the one with Kirk Cameron and Dudley Moore.
That's not really a Father's Day movie.
It's not about the day specifically.
It's about a horrible voodoo curse that switched them.
No, theirs wasn't voodoo.
Theirs was American Indian.
It was a snake, yeah.
Vice versa, that was voodoo.
That was Judge Reinhold and Ben Savage.
Ben Savage, sorry.
Did you see 17 again?
Yeah, I loved it.
What caused him to switch?
He fell off a bridge.
Spoiler alert!
Let me ask you this.
Once they switch, how much do you see Matthew Perry? Well, they don't switch.
It's less of a switch-em-up movie. It's more of an age shift right right right it's like uh 13 going on
30 yeah yeah it's like 17 it's like or like 17 again yeah exactly the movie that was exactly
the same but with george burns that's 18 again oh okay yeah this is a prequel i see they that's
clever make him underage make him less fuckable oh they didn't do a good job of that
zach efron holy wow yeah dude how many of his holes do you want to put it in
i want to make holes to put it in i want a fucking swiss cheese fuck Zac Efron. So, okay, so yeah, it's not a switch.
He becomes younger.
So once he becomes younger, does he ever look in the mirror and see Matthew Perry?
Or is Matthew Perry out of it for the rest of the movie?
Matthew Perry just is the bookend of this movie.
That's a shame because it would have been more, I think it would have been more fun
if you see Matthew Perry every once in a while because that guy's funny.
Yeah. been more i think it would be more fun if you see matthew perry every once in a while because that guy's funny yeah i felt bad for him because the trailer made it look like oh matthew perry and
zach efron no get out perry this movie is 99.97 efron all right all of these movies the genre of
these movies we're gonna start with jon Jonah because he's closest to me.
Not just physically, but in life.
I think so.
In your heart.
No.
Oh.
It's really a toss-up between the three of you.
Like if the three of you were drowning,
I'd probably just have to walk away.
Because I like you all and it's too hard to choose.
I appreciate that.
These are all movies that begin with the letter A or the letter B.
These are all A or B movies,
and none of them star Jerry Seinfeld as an insect.
We'll start with you, Jonah.
This is from 1998.
There are eight names.
So you will say, I can name this movie in eight names.
Seven through all the way down to zero names
if you think you know it.
And then it passes on
name that tune style
until someone says, name that movie.
Okay.
And I'm not playing because I'm looking right at the title.
That's good.
Eight names.
These movies begin with the letter A or B.
Your clue for this movie is that it's crap.
Thanks for narrowing it down, Doug.
It begins with an A or a B.
Oh, thank you.
Excluding the I and you know what I mean.
1998.
How many names do you think you can get it in?
I'll do four.
He thinks he can get it in four names.
These are the four lowest names on the cast list.
I didn't know it worked like that.
What, do you think we start at the top?
Why don't you say I can name it in one or two then?
Because those are the leads.
That thing you do.
Starts with an A.
Starts with an A.
That thing you do.
Okay, so...
That's Twitter names.
I'll go four.
You said four names.
Four names.
David, you could say three names through zero names
through name that name.
You could name that movie.
I can't go five.
I'll do four.
Yeah, you go five.
I feel like I'm worse at this.
Say the entire description of the movie if you want.
I'm not going to do it, though.
You're going to go three?
I'll go four as well.
Can I do that?
Did you just say I can't?
Am I dumb?
I'm dumb.
I can't. No, it's like a
bidding thing where you have to
undercut the person in front of you.
So you have to either say three or name that movie
to him.
And if he can't name it, then you'll win.
Name that movie. Oh, he's saying
name that movie. Here we go. Four names.
John Wood.
I think he's British.
Eileen Atkins
Eddie Izzard
I love when people
they're always like
oh
and then the
fourth name
of the bottom four names
of the cast of this movie
from 1998
that is crap
is
Fiona Shaw
wasn't this like a I mean I don't want to help you out or anything
but it's leaning kind of British so yeah so it might be Valkyrie we've any
lizard we gonna ask me something you see nice? Was it like a remake-y thing or like a TV?
I won't answer that, but I'm also impressed that you're saying it.
And also he...
You were definitely in the ballpark.
If it was a really big ballpark.
Like which ballpark do you think
one of the many that are in the throughout the contiguous u.s
it's taking you too long yeah you have a guess no i got nothing i think but i think you're on
the right track it's the avengers yes that's right the avengers now those are everyone's
so disappointed but uh But David gets a point
for that and now we start with Matt Belknap.
This is an A or B movie
from 1997. You've got
11 names and
directors Harold Ramis
and Lawrence Kasdan cameoed
in this film.
How many names do you think
you can get in Matt Belknap from
specialthing.com, astrecords.com?
I'll go nine.
Why is that funny?
He took a couple off there.
Yeah.
Nine names.
Jonah, how many do you think you can get it in?
Five.
Jonah leaps to five names.
I don't know why.
David Huntsberger. I don't know why David Huntsberger 1997
You're trying to win Jonah
Four names or less you have to go for
Harold Ramis and Lawrence Kasdan
Cammy Ode
I'll say name that movie again
It's an A or B movie
You went to five names?
Yeah
Here we go
These are the five names you get
Brian Doyle Murray That does not count as three names That's one name You went to five names? Yeah. Here we go. These are the five names you get.
Brian Doyle Murray.
That does not count as three names.
That's one name.
Randall Battenkoff.
Don't yell out a guess yet.
You get all five names.
But Randall Battenkoff is such a giveaway.
B.B. Osterwald.
There was a movie called Four Keeps that was like his first starring role,
Randall Battenkopf,
and he was opposite Molly Ringwald
who had been in, you know,
Sixteen Candles and Breakfast Club.
And the ads were like,
Molly Ringwald, Randall Battenkopf.
They said it with like the same enthusiasm
even though he hadn't been in anything yet.
And my friends and I thought that was so funny.
Okay, so you got
Brian Dorn-Murray, Randall Battencoff,
B.B. Osterwald,
Lupe Ontiveros.
And your fifth name is
Yardley Smith
who of course is the voice of
Lisa Simpson.
That's an awesome clue.
Voice of Lisa Simpson.
As good as it gets.
Yes!
Nicely done.
Nicely done.
Also starring Skeet Ulrich.
As the gay lover?
People are kind of laughing, but I say Skeet Ulrich
because that's how Jack Nicholson pronounced it
when he won Best Supporting Actor for as good as it gets
for acting not opposite Skeet Ulrich ever.
Like Skeet Ulrich isn't in any of Jack Nicholson's scenes,
and he not only thanks him, but he also gives his name a mispronunciation.
I believe a mispronunciation.
Skeet Ulrich.
Skeet Ulrich was the...
Cuba Gooding Jr.
Yeah, Skeet Ulrich, he was the guy Greg Kinnear was going to paint?
Yeah, he was kind of a gay dude, or a gay hustler,
that tricked Greg Kinnear into getting...
Gay Greg Kinnear.
Yeah, which I never bought for a second.
He tricked him into getting the shit beat out of him.
And Helen Hunt won Best Actress, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Okay, so that's a point for
mr jonah ray thank you and now so that means we go to matt belknap for this one i started last
one i think jonah would start the video this one no the guy who got the point doesn't start
yeah asshole sorry i thought i knew this game this is from 2001 it's an A or B movie There's 14 names
Mary Lynn Ricecub and Karen Kilgariff
Friends of mine
Are in this movie
But aren't part of the 14 names
That's your clue
Yeah
O is right
Some of the audience knows it
How many names he can go?
Seven.
Seven names he thinks he can do.
Where does it go from there?
Jonah, right?
Jonah, how many?
Five.
Wait, am I going the wrong order now?
I don't know.
Did I go around the wrong way?
No, no.
I think we've been going this way.
Okay, okay.
What year is it again?
It's 2001?
You said five? Yeah. He went five jonah likes to go jump to five do it yeah i've been being do it somebody says okay sure i'll do i can name it in four move
four he says matt matt belknap name that movie all right here here we go. Good luck to you.
Good luck to you. John C.
Reilly.
Michael Paynes.
Gwyneth Paltrow.
Dennis O'Hare.
The next name would
fucking give it away.
If you knew it.
You just might not know this movie.
I might not.
It's a distinct possibility you don't know this movie. It was made before you knew it. You just might not know it. You just might not know this movie. I might not. Yeah. So just take the possibility you don't know this movie.
It was made before you were born.
2001.
I feel like I'm fairly familiar with Gwyneth Paltrow's work.
As we all are.
We all celebrate our entire catalog.
You have to think of an A or B movie in which Gwyneth Paltrow appeared that was not Austin Powers in Goldmember.
She wasn't that.
That would be the last one I would think of, I think.
I noted it down for you.
But she's in this, but she's obviously low.
She's not a big part.
Oh, I get you.
Oh, that's what you're trying to help me with.
That's the hint I was trying to give you.
Sure.
Sure.
So you can scratch bounceounce off the list.
Didn't even think of that.
That's how slow I am.
You can scratch...
How often does she cameo?
Has she ever cameoed in anything else?
I don't think so.
I think you can scratch all of her movies off the list
except for this one.
This is the one Gwyneth Paltrow appearance.
I was thinking duets, but that's a D.
Wouldn't that be a crazy twist if I threw in a D word?
It's like, just a hunch.
I'm fucking with you guys at every turn.
This next movie is Wizard of Oz from 1939.
You're at the back of my book.
I'm just going to have to tell you, I guess. Yeah this who gets one more name we're only at three names right it was at four names
and he has to guess it or if he doesn't guess it you win because you you were
about to say the answer no I win because I sat with the point okay that wins the
point right so the answer is
i'll just give matt the answer is the anniversary party i'm not at all familiar yeah yeah it's not
a bad movie it's directed by jason lee directed it and it's a bunch of you know people that like
each other having a party and filming it oh that sounds great it's like us guys doug do you do you
have anything from like 94 95 because i worked at a movie theater then, and I think I could nail that.
Let me see.
Let me see.
94, 95.
Yeah, I'd be good at 04 to 05 at the Arclight.
Yeah.
What's up?
And I'd even say my announcement that I used to do.
All right.
So how many points do you guys have?
Let's figure this out.
One each.
Do you lose a point if you're wrong?
No.
No, you're just the guy who said maybe the movie gets the point.
I like that, no losers.
That's nice.
So you couldn't get it, so we're back to Matt again for the start of this one.
This is from 1984.
It's an A or B title.
Eight names.
84.
Miranda from Sex and the City is in this movie.
Oh.
From 1984.
That's your clue.
She's my Gwyneth Paltrow.
So how many names do you think you can get her to?
But it's still A and B.
Damn.
Because I know an early 80s movie that she's in, I think.
But it doesn't start with an A or B.
That would not be the right answer.
You would know this.
Is She and Girls just want to have fun
Cynthia Nixon?
no that's Sarah Jessica Parker
ok maybe that's what I was thinking of
ok I'm going to go
six names
six names wow
there's only eight right
I'm using my patented shave two off method
oh that's your shave two guy
yeah
I'm still using that two blade Gillette thing to shave two off method. Oh, that's your, you're a shave two guy? Yeah. All right.
I'm still using
that two blade Gillette thing
because of that.
Oh, okay.
That's my thing.
Jonah Ray?
I just want to name the movie.
Really?
Yeah.
So say zero names.
Zero names.
All right.
And then David,
you say name that movie?
Because sir,
do you think you can get
a negative one?
I would like,
I've already sent it to you.
Check your phone.
All right.
What's your,
should I write down my answer? Shut up. to you. Check your phone. All right. What's your... Should I write down my answer?
Shut up.
Shut up, Kreskin.
All right.
What's your answer, Jonah Ray?
Big Trouble in Little China.
That's incorrect.
What?
A B-movie from the late 80s with Miranda.
Early, early.
Oh, yeah.
That was Kim Cattrall, dude.
That was Kim Cattrall. You. That was Kim Cattrall.
You got your...
I really got to pay attention.
You got your Sex and the City Girls mixed up, faggot.
Hey, come on, guys.
That's not fair.
That's not cool.
I do not.
I've just been behind.
That was awesome, though, that there is a movie from around that time with a different
Sex and the City Girl in it that begins with an A or a B.
Now I want to know what your big trouble was. I'm going to look
at a... Can anyone name a movie
with that fourth girl
from Sex and the City in it from her own?
Kristen Davis? She was in
the
Sex and the City movie? No, no, no, no, no.
She was in Deck the Halls.
Okay. But I meant
like early... Oh, a long time ago yeah she was
the she was the little girl in um the exorcist
and she was the two little girl that was the main little girl's friend
she had one scene that got cut um i'm still looking up big china and little what's it called
big trouble big trouble in little china and little trouble i'm looking up Big China and Little... What's it called? Big Trouble in Little China. Big Trouble in Little China.
Big China and Little Trouble I'm looking up.
It was on TV last night.
Wait, was that...
Oh, you saw it last night?
That's cheating.
Didn't I tell you not to watch television?
I got it wrong.
How is that cheating?
I'm just kidding.
Big Trouble in Little China.
Only one and a half stars from Len Malton.
That's harsh.
It's a great movie.
It really holds up, that movie.
Yeah, let's all boo Len Malton.
Boo.
Trying to get him on the show.
Was the Cynthia Nixon movie, did it take place at a camp?
No, but she might have been one of the little girls in that Shelley Long camping movie.
Who Gwyneth Paltrow also was.
You're welcome.
Also Jenny Lewis from Rilo Kylie.
Oh, yeah, that's who I was thinking of.
That was a clue on Jeopardy the other day.
Are you talking about Camp Beverly Hills?
Why did I look up Big Trouble?
Oh, because it came to see the year.
It came out in 86.
So it was a couple years off.
But that was still really good.
So now poised to win this whole thing as David Hudsberger with two points.
Oh, sweet.
And the worst player by far.
I decided not to tell.
You just can't remember it
because you lost your space.
It's Amadeus, yes.
Oh, wow.
That was at a camp.
I remember that.
That was a camp movie.
Amadeus.
Amadeus.
Amadeus.
Amadeus. Dr. Zay Amadeus. Amadeus.
Dr. Zayas.
Dr. Zayas.
Don't sing it.
We can't pay for the rights.
And F. Murray Abraham, when he won Best Oscar, I had snuck into the Academy Awards that year
in a tuxedo, and there's a picture of me standing behind him in People Magazine.
All right.
Oh, I thought you were going to say he thanked Cynthia Nixon, but he called her Cynthia Noxon.
I like that he won Best Oscar.
Is that what I said?
He won Best Oscar?
Yeah.
Because his name in Amadeus was Oscar the Sniveling Fiend.
But the Oscar he got was very good.
It was the best one.
The best mold.
You won the Best Oscar. Everyone else could fuck off. Everyone else was lopsided. There was the best one. The best mold. You won the best Oscar.
Everyone else could
fuck off.
Everyone else is lopsided.
There's a little dent maybe.
This one,
the best Oscar.
All the other ones have
correct genitalia.
This one is the best
because it's been
chopped off.
The year is 2000,
Matt Belknap.
Okay. The title is an A or a b title uh there's 14 names in this title i mean in this movie that they list in the len
malton book yeah uh the first name that i say will give it away yeah well i'm telling you that one
so get ready motherfucker really if? You want to do this?
If you say so.
You want to say one?
Let's do this.
It will give it away if you're brilliant.
Year 2000, one name.
I'd say the first name will give it away.
Okay.
And you're saying...
Might as well.
You're going to say you can name it in one.
Sure.
All right, Jonas, should he name that movie or can you do it in zero?
I don't want to.
A movie from 2000 where one name would give it away.
I don't want to do it.
Just say name that movie.
Name that movie.
Okay.
The one name out of 14 names.
Yeah.
So this is low on the list.
Right.
And it's from 2000, the year of.
You got it. The name is low on the list. Right. And it's from 2000, the year of. Got it.
The name is Jimmy Fallon.
Gives it away, right?
Yeah.
Yes.
Many people in the audience think it gives it away.
Yeah.
I got that.
Jonah Ray has it.
I know it.
Right.
I picked it.
There is...
Oh, I have a caveat after that.
Yeah, don't...
You don't need to talk.
I need to.
I don't have to.
This is not your point to win or lose.
It's mine.
So answer it, motherfucker.
You'll have two if he doesn't get this?
Yeah.
Oh, right.
He's going to tie it up if you don't get this, Matt.
He got nothing.
He's got nothing.
Almost famous.
Oh.
Yeah, right?
How often is Jimmy Fallon in a movie?
But he's not one of the leads.
Damn it.
Band of Brothers was around the same time.
Miniseries.
Miniseries for HBO.
Get out.
You've been eliminated for just saying that.
But it's a B.
I thought I was being clever.
But holy shit, this movie, like, almost famous.
Jimmy Fallon, Peter Frampton,
Philip Seymour Hoffman, Bijou Phillips,
Zooey Deschanel, Noah Taylor,
Farooza Balk. I mean,
it's a good list of names. Mark Maron, Nick Swartzen.
Mark Maron's in it. Yeah, Nick Swartzen goes,
David Bowie! That's his whole part.
Alright.
Mitch Hedberg. It's two and two
and one for Matt Belknap, and it
starts with Jonah jonah and your
this is from 1989 it's an a or b um
what the fuck did i write down here
a or b
the clue is oh okay the clue is it's 76 minutes long
it's from 1989 oh that's 76 minutes long
that's a good no names necessary that's a good clue think about the kinds of movies that are
that short that's a good clue right and there's only one name
jonah ray you could say one name you could say zero names i'm gonna say one name doug
you could get this in one name no you said there's only one name
matt zero names or it's does jonah have to get it in the one name it's 1989

yeah only one person credited in Leonard
Walton's book and it's 76
minutes long
and I don't know if you guys have noticed
but nothing has begun with the letter B
too much is that another hint which way does that go though I don't know if you guys have noticed, but nothing has begun with the letter B.
Too much.
Is that another hint?
Yeah.
Which way does that go, though?
Is this the first or the B?
That could be a hint.
Yeah, either way.
No, they're all A's.
Okay.
76 minutes.
Starts with an A.
One name.
Name that movie.
Ready? So exciting. It's not. that one name is dudley moore people the audience know it
that bell dabs gonna get another point we're gonna have a three-way motherfucking time
nothing seriously if it doesn't jump right into your head, you don't know it.
It's not Arthur.
No, it's the classic The Adventures of Milo and Otis.
Oh, fuck!
That was voiced, all of the voices were by Dudley Moore.
Oh, man.
Because it was Japanese, and then the American version, Dudley Moore did all the voices.
And if you have not seen it, there is no reason to wait.
Get it? Smoke some fat bowls get anyone that's super into pita out of the room yeah because there's a lot of tossing
of animals that happens to create the wildlife adventures that milo and otis go through hey a
basket of kittens going over waterfall they'll live let's shoot it mess up the shot oh well here's another they land on their feet and can't swim this can't go wrong
i used to take my dog to a vet on figueroa and like they would have milo notice on all the time
at the vet and was just weird seeing milo notice knowing how many animals died in the making of
that then seeing these dogs with casts did Did you not know Dudley Moore was doing
all the voices? They never had the audio on.
Oh, okay. That's why. That's why.
You were shut out on the very important.
Alright, so we're going to start now with
David.
That's your name, right?
Matt got the point. We're all even. Start with David.
Then who's next? Matt's next.
Okay, here we go. Wow, this is exciting.
1989. It's an A or B name this way? Okay, here we go. Wow, this is exciting. 1989.
It's an A or B name.
There's 11 names in the title.
Why do I keep saying in the title?
There's 11 names in the cast.
First name should give it away.
But now after that last time I said first name should give it away and it didn't, I'm not as confident.
I would have gotten that one.
It would give it away to me. Okay, so this one might give it away for it didn't i'm not as confident i would have gotten that one it would
give it away to me okay so this one might give it away for you as well okay first name could give
