Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds with 50 acid popper 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. It's Thursday, September 29th
2022
This is this month's
bonus episode
Wide World of Doug's will be back
next week with a new epi
Today my guests
are Kelly McInerney
Matt Bronger and
Tom Takar. Hello!
Hello!
Hello!
Let's
speak them individually and
alphabetically by
last name.
I didn't mean first name, but I wrote down
last name. That was dumb.
We switched it up and we're doing
alphabetical by first name
just for the hell
of it. That means we start with kelly mcinerney
is back in ernie hello hey i'm back yeah this is your first uh appearance in a zoom version
of the program but you've been on stage in los angeles a couple of times yeah and And what have you been up to lately? What's going on?
Not much. Still trying to do the comedy thing.
Seeing movies.
That's perfect. It's like you were made for this show.
You're just sitting around just doing comedy and watching movies.
Yeah, it's crazy.
That's exactly what I need in this situation. So this is perfect.
Also joining us today, Matt Bronger is here to bring it.
Hey, you're not here, of course.
You're out on the road somewhere.
Can you say where you're at?
Yeah, I'm in Columbia, Missouri.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I know that place.
Mm-hmm.
Used to have a club it closed yeah i assume now there's a new spot yeah it's a it's a music venue that does like uh
i think every month they have a comedian it's it's called the blue note oh nice yeah i've heard
of that yeah that's cool it's pretty neat yeah i like it uh you're
you know and i'd say plug away but uh if it's happening tonight people aren't going to hear
this until tomorrow so we'll have to we'll have to push on to plugs that are down the road more
because you got a big thing happening on October 6th yes yeah I got my special
coming out on moment and it's called Doug and it's yeah I needed to talk to you about this yeah I'm
glad we're opening this this discussion uh real quick because you know it is named after as you
know a terrible man I met on vacation yeah and yeah you know but it sounds like a blind
item about me and the first time we met i say in the special it's ironic that his name was doug
because every other doug i've met has been awesome you know okay yeah yeah yeah i'm now i'm excited
now i've got now i got a clip to pull from your special yes sir about sir. About how awesome I am. That's right. That's right.
I mean, I did most specials that lady.
What's her name?
That did the best.
She's done two specials named Gatsby.
She did Nanette and then she did Douglas.
And I didn't feel I didn't feel seen when I watched that.
No, you're not really a Douglas.
I do say special. Most Doug's watched that. No, you're not really a Douglas. I do say most Dugs are awesome.
I say the line is they sell you weed at half price.
They smoke it with you.
So it's like I'm thinking of you, but I wasn't.
I never bought weed from you, but I have smoked weed with you.
Yeah.
No, it's a nice association.
Because I got to get you on.
We'll get you on Wide World of Dougs very soon, because that's all we talk about is names and, you know, how they affect us. And it's just, the name Doug really does, you know, it's a great name for your comedy album, because people immediately have an idea that, oh, great, he's going to talk about someone named Doug.
Yeah.
And it already sets up at weird
anticipation it's so true and i when i when i say that i say what his name was and i have a big neon
sign behind me that says doug the whole time and the whole time people are like why are you going
to talk about doug and so when i do it i was like you'd say he was a horrible guy i saw people's
faces fall like wait not doug Doug, though. Like, why?
Cool.
So, well, those are cool.
They're just not.
They're usually not like the bad guy.
They're just sort of the more like, oh, great.
Here comes Doug.
You know, there's no Bond villain named Doug.
Yeah, you're right.
No, no, no.
But they all a lot of them have cats so um thank you for being here matt and kelly and our
third guest today joining us here there wherever he is somewhere on the east coast i'm guessing
it's tom chikar hey doug how's it going thanks for having me i'm in new york right now by the way
i love it i love that that's one thing you know you got to look for the silver
linings and it's a silver lining in uh in terms of my show that you know when we do these zoom
shows we can get people and comedians that are all over the country uh i love to participate
it's really it's we're like recording time travel basically basically, because you're three hours ahead of me and Kelly and Matt's out there.
God knows what time zone he's in.
Unpredictable.
By the way, I'm doing my first album in November, and the name of it is Matt Bronger.
Oh, okay.
It's about a really bad experience
I had on a podcast with a guy one time.
So specific.
It's going to be another one of those
hours where like 45
minutes in they're going to be like, when is he
going to bring up Matt Bronger?
When is he going to bring up Matt Bronger? When is he going to
Brong it up? When is he going to
Brong it on? I just close by saying thank you.
I've been Matt Bronger and that's the only
reference I make.
I mean, you'd make
five people smile by doing that
I think because
that is a deeply
easy to miss joke
to call the special Matt Bronger and only say his name after good night.
He's such a mistake.
Oh, no, Tom, what have you done?
You with your name changes and name usages,
you're a confusing but hilarious comedian to follow. No, Tom, what have you done? You with your name changes and name usages.
You're a confusing but hilarious comedian to follow.
And you have a podcast called Stand By Your Band that you co-host.
Yes. With another lovely gentleman who's also a Tom.
Mm-hmm.
Tommy Mac.
Tommy Mac.
And the premise of the show, has have either matt or kelly
ever been a guest on your show matt came on and uh defended he it was more of an appreciation
episode one of my favorite episodes honestly i we talked about jim croce that was fun it was
oh if you all he didn't he didn't have to be embarrassed to defend jim croce because that's
you know you just come in and everybody goes, yeah, Jim Croce.
Right.
But it was one that I think people weren't thinking a lot about Jim Croce.
So it was fun to highlight the catalog of Jim Croce and give it the respect it deserved.
A lot of people aren't listening to Operator, Time in a Bottle.
I mean, it's so schmaltzy.
It's like for my parents' parents generation so much of it is just
like jesus christ sad drunk guy is he just one guy jim coaches oh cool well he was one guy he uh
yeah died tragically but you know yeah he had that one song that was you know kind of a novelty song
that really caught on that you don't mess around with Jim. Which included
advice like you don't pull on
Superman's cape and you don't spit in the wind.
But I think, wow, those are wildly
different results
between tugging on Superman's cape
and spitting into the wind.
Like for instance, spitting into the
wind, you know exactly what's going to happen.
When you tug on Superman's cape,
a million things
could happen it depends if you're a little kid that'll be cute you know i don't think superman
like let's say you tug on superman's cape he's supposed to be like a good guy it'd be fucked up
if he just turned around and beat the shit out of you right but superman turns fast if superman
brushes up against you it probably really hurts your skin yeah yeah he
doesn't hold back his buns his buns are made of steel let alone the rest of them yes that's a
good mental image kelly and i appreciate that hey you're welcome uh yeah talking about ways you can
get your butt kicked i think he would spend a lot of time and but he had that song bad bad leroy
brown and so i i think he just saw a lot of time in, he had that song, Bad, Bad Leroy Brown. I think
he just saw a lot of people get into
scraps while he sat there with his beers
at the bar writing a song.
I think that was his whole thing.
That makes sense.
I grew up
in San Diego, so I always
heard about, you know,
there's a bar, I may have even gone there once
or twice, but not often,
called Croche's.
Oh.
His wife runs it.
Is that true? I gotta get over there.
I don't know if it's, I think it might not be
a thing anymore.
Yeah.
Because, you know, what happened is they
tugged on Superman's cape.
Sure.
His plane crashed. i really went dark
there that is actually how he died i shouldn't have said that i mean accurate dark yeah did
superman make tomato tomato that's true he might have right before the flight uh he did tug on
superman's uh cape and he didn't know superman you see a cape, you're going to want to tug. And Superman can pick up planes
so he could have been the one that did
the crash. He was probably angry.
Jim had one too many
airport cutty sarks
before he left and he saw Superman.
Now that I think about it, he might have been flying
on Superman because people
are always like, is that a bird?
Superman had too many cutty sarks and he
crashed.
I'm thinking Henry Cavill's Dark Superman
here's that fucking
song and he goes
he spins around the earth and turns
back time and takes that
plane and you know
the rest
that's what happened time traveling
Superman killed Jim Croce
that's right that's why I'm Time-traveling Superman killed Jim Croce. That's right.
That's why I'm a Spider-Man girl, you know?
Superman's too mean.
Yeah, it's true.
Spider-Man, if he goes around the Earth really fast,
he'll just give us nice, warm,
like, it'll be like a big ball of twine.
Yeah.
You know, it won't turn back time.
Wow.
I didn't mean to get so deep into the woods on that but very
quickly kelly our original on this show i don't think anybody else is doing this
kelly do you have a band that you would have that you would gladly defend that people might
think needs defending if you went on uh stand by your band yeah hansen that's a great next week
please i love that that's a great that's a great call yeah good one yeah do you what do you do
if somebody wants to do if somebody wants to do the same band uh as has been done on the show
before is that okay because it's like a different person's
take on defending that band i it depends like if there's enough meat on the bone i think then
that's fine i think hansen is definitely one that could be done twice i think we've done like we
could do we did maroon five i think once i think we could do that again if we haven't already uh
third eye blind we've done a couple times coldplay we've done a couple times The ones where there's a lot of hate for them
And there's a lot of albums
That we can talk about
And maybe we don't cover it all in an hour
But we try to keep it
To where, especially if it's been done
Recently, we try to stay away from it
We've been doing the podcast for like
Almost six years now
So I don't really care
If we talk about one that we talked about I also i don't really care if we if we talk about what we talked about
i also just don't really care at all anymore if we talk we'll find a way to get to make it
interesting we end up talking about the band for about 15 minutes these days most of it's uh
me accusing uh tommy of being like attracted to horses and stuff it's it's it's nonsense now but it's fun a lot of sidebars
yeah exactly yeah a lot of diverse uh diversions kind of like uh when you talk about uh
superman killing jim croce for the first 10 minutes of the podcast
i mean you know the listeners will be surprised they'll have a little
trouble adjusting to it but i'm going to talk about that for the opening of every show from now on.
Because it doesn't get spoken of often enough.
And there's so many conspiracy theories out there these days.
I think it'll really catch on.
Before we play the games today, though, let's take a stroll through Recommendation Nation.
That's where I ask my guests to each recommend a movie. And of late,
I've been theming it. Instead of just saying recommend any movie, I narrow
it down a little bit. And since October is just upon
us, days away, I'm going to spend
the whole month asking people to recommend horror movies. That's just a gift.
But for now, Kelly, you got to settle down because.
I got a good one.
I mean, you could maybe just tell us anyway, just out of curiosity.
But if you win today, you'll be back sometime in October anyway.
But we'll see about all of this. My point is just that since September is wrapping up
and we're going into,
people are going to be recommending the most horrific movies.
I'm sure one just came to your mind, Kelly.
So what I'd like to do for this final September edition
of Recommendation Nation is ask each of you
to recommend a wholesome
family
movie like you can
watch with your whole family kind of shit
that doesn't have
I mean a lot of times family movies
are more fucked up mentally
than watching
like Starship Troopers but
although that's
got some weird shit in it too
uh let's start with kelly did a wholesome movie pop into your head kind of can i say like the new
first star wars is that family-ish because i just she enjoyed it and i mean it's a little dark for sure, you know, but it's it's a fun one.
And BB-8 is very light and nice.
And OK, so we're talking about Force Awakens.
Yeah. Yeah. OK.
I think that's a lovely choice.
That's fun.
That's in my that's probably top five Star Wars movies for me.
I mean, you know, I've talked about this many times
and some people can talk about it forever.
But, you know, Star Wars, for me now,
I'm just starting to lose my grip on it.
Like, I don't feel like I'm going to see all Star Wars things
because they're making so much Star Wars stuff.
But I hear this Andor is terrific.
And we'll be right back after these words from
Disney.
No, I hear it.
Yeah, I gotta give it a shot.
I don't watch the Star Wars series.
I'm biased because my cousin
writes on it, but it's
really good. It's like
I watch it and I don't think of Star Wars.
Okay, you got me, Matt.
Because I don't like, I tried
with The Mandalorian and
Obi-Wan.
Yeah, Obi-Wan. I tried
with that because, man, I listened to
a podcast Ewan McGregor was on
and I'm like, he seems like a nice guy. Let's
give this a shot. Fell asleep.
I heard it's terrible.
I heard it's flat out bad.
Obi-Wandering, they should have called it.
Yeah, I don't know how much walking he does but he
didn't grab me but that's
what's happening with all these things
I used to think that I'd just watch every
Marvel thing but now I just don't have the time
because they just come out with a new series
every other month
you know it's just too much
but I do still like some of it.
Everyone's really talking up She-Hulks.
She-Hulks slaps.
There you go.
I thought I only heard people making fun of it, but maybe
I'm in the wrong part of Twitter.
Maybe you're just on in-sale
Twitter, Tom.
No, no.
Yeah, all your
buds are just talking about how there shouldn't be twerking in
a marvel property a marvel thing but i think the more twerking the better
women who were cheating on it
can i tell you what horror movie though
women are hang on a second
Kelly women already don't like the fact that
it has to be called she Hulk he's not
called he Hulk that's true
they talk about that in the show
they mentioned it's
very like on the nose like
they're like we know what you think
and we're gonna we're gonna talk about it
yeah I love it. And they,
they knew I wanted some twerking and I finally got it. Yeah. Matt. Oh,
okay. Kelly. So give us the horror movie recommendation a few days early.
Yeah. It's barbarian. Have you guys seen it yet?
Oh,
from a whitest kids wrote that. Yeah.
I, I, I, I texted him. I was like dude amazing
because like I've heard
go on Kelly but I've just heard it's incredible I haven't seen it
yeah and you can tell kind of that it's
from a comedian kind of because
the way you could write stakes
it's similar you know with horror and
comedy just making them laugh or scaring
them but yeah it's so funny a lot of
twists and turns and like
Justin Long's in it and he's really good.
Just funny. And then like
it's a satisfying ending. I don't want to give anything
away. The trailer's fun because you
watch the trailer and think one thing
and then you watch the movie and it's
something like so much better.
Oh, that's good to know. I mean, I liked
I'm a big scaredy cat
and I watched that trailer because I was
staying next to an AMC and I watched that trailer because I was staying next to a uh an AMC and I
was like maybe I'll go see a little barbarian I watched that trailer and I said too spooky
and oh yeah you're gonna hate it you're gonna absolutely hate it um do you like do you ever
go into like uh the haunted mazes that uh you know that they put up in October that where you
walk around and people
jump out at you oh yeah i live in those things oh i get it that's if you don't pay rent in october
i become part of it
yeah i get all my costume um you really like those things oh yeah i used to be in one of those uh you don't like scary movies i
don't get it you don't like violent movies yeah it's the gore porn stuff i'm not really into
it's right i love to get out i love like uh like that's why i almost went to barbarians my friend
was like no you're gonna're going to really like it.
But Midsommar, which is not
as much gore, but it just
ruined a week
of my life.
I had nightmares about it.
Oh, yeah.
It's better than Midsommar, I promise.
Really?
It's more keyed into
just being fun. Midsommar is
trying to ruin your life
but this Barbarian
is fun and
horror movie fans are just going
absolutely crazy for it
and you know it's got an amazing
Rotten Tomatoes score
and this is a
great tease because coming
up very soon on this show is going to be
I'm going to have uh i'm gonna have somebody
from the movie uh on the program yeah so but okay so great job kelly you gave us wholesome you gave
us um very scary um doing my best so cover all bases, you know? Yeah.
Barbarians is one of those movies where people start
off down a hallway and
everybody knows that that's the last thing that
person should do. Okay, so Matt,
what do you
say for a wholesome,
you must be watching the kiddie movies
with your own
yep offspring yeah she's two so i've seen a lot oh god i will say honorable mention sing too
because eric andre is very funny in it it's like one of those movies you can sit through and you're
like this is actually funny for adults like that's that's how i kind of judge these if you can actually
be like the kid loves it but also adults that's pretty rare either she loves it and i'm like this
is garbage or like i'm like this is hilarious and she's just in the next room what's an example of
what's an example of one that where she loves it and you think it just stinks anything uh baby shark
or coco melon like coco right those
are like those are like short shorter form things right but they have like movie length ones that
uh oh god bound and yeah oh god man it's so bad it's it's so bad yeah that sounds brutal but most
like mass most like produced for theaters animation i find those movies they may not always be
like for me
or even necessarily appeal to me like just the
animation itself the style I may not be
that into but
you know it's just kind of remarkable
how much more consistent they are
than other kinds of movies
and I think it's just because
every step of the way they have to be scrutinized
so much more that everybody really gets their you know their ducks in a row if you will yeah and
like yeah they these days most of them have something you'll enjoy i think i'll just say
my all-time everyone will enjoy it thing will probably be toy story 3 because it's basically a gang a gang boss movie like ned baity plays lotso lots of hugs
who like through loneliness became this like mob boss like he controls the entire like it's almost
like thunderdome like tina turner and thunderdome like just controls the entire landscape and puts
you either where you're gonna get torn apart by the vicious young kids
or played with nicely where he lives it's like good and bad neighborhoods and so it's it's it's
dark and kind of deep super funny and has like a moment near the end that's like kind of gives you
an idea of mortality which is amazing so and my kid loves it so that that's that's my pick for
all around like wholesome. That's interesting.
I remember watching that in theaters
and at the very end, that scene where they face death,
I remember being like, is this movie for kids?
Like it's crazy.
Yeah, like they're all holding hands
headed towards the furnace and it's like, what?
When they grip hands, it's like,
it's one of the most powerful moments
I've ever seen in a movie.
Yeah, but because Kelly did,
I will also throw in my scary
pic that i saw last night yes i saw pearl and i hadn't seen it yet and it's the prequel to x
and i do not like prequels and it blew me away and it's fantastic and it's like better than x
better than x or just like i gotta say i liked x better but i wasn't ready for x my expectations
were pretty high for pearl I would say you put
them side by side they're they're they're about equal in terms of good movies though because
pearl you don't really see coming I'm like what's going to happen with this person
you know and I wasn't a fan because I I feel the I felt I knew what was coming we knew she was going
to use that axe in that trailer you know yeah and X, true, but I was like- And X was so cool.
I don't know.
Yeah, no, X is still my fave of the two, but I mean,
Tai West is so incredible and Mia Goth is just unreal.
She is so good, yeah, you're right.
There's a monologue that goes on for like 10 minutes
where you're watching, you're like, this is one take.
How did you memorize this?
A, and this is like Hamlet length and b like so many different
shades of emotion she's going through i was like jesus i hope this just took one take
because yeah so yeah go see pearl i loved it yeah that she's intense she's that mere
though that last name goth is, is pretty accurate.
Tom?
I feel like people have... I'm sure you guys talked about this to death when it came out,
but it's my favorite movie I've seen maybe in the last 10 years.
It's everything everywhere all at once.
It's...
Back up, back up, back up.
Yes.
This is a movie for the whole family i thought so did you not did you so your threshold
for violence must be insane because it's really violent i guess i forgot i think of that violence
is really silly uh it is silly but it's people breaking their fucking necks like i guess that's
i don't have a kid yet so maybe that's part of it but it's data grown up fucking necks. I guess that's really violent. I don't have a kid yet, so maybe that's part of it.
But it's Data grown up,
and of course he's going to break necks, you know?
Like, he was good at money traps.
Now he's a badass.
Yeah.
I guess whole family,
I was thinking of, like,
me going and spending, like, a Christmas
with my mom and my, like...
Or a family.
Yeah, yeah. yeah and also you just
cannot get this movie out of your head it's so good i love you so much but uh if i'm not saying
everyone true fun for the whole time i'm talking about g-rated like that'd be that movies that are
for sure uh in that case i'm gonna go with was, I thought, one of the best Pixar movies of the last.
That movie made me cry on the plane, like openly.
It's my last favorite one that they've done.
I really loved it.
I have another one.
No, that's a good one.
You finished the assignment.
That's not fully appropriate.
I was going to say, the Thin Man series,
we just started watching, and they're really fun.
Yeah, but you know what?
They weren't really played by an actual thin guy,
and there's a lot of thin shaming going on in that movie.
Where's the she, Thin Man?
Okay, so my pick, because i like to throw one in there is did you have the
horror movie you want to mention tom uh i was gonna say halloween town is right up my alley
it's a it's for kids that's actually a pretty good combo of the two categories here is a is a family friendly uh scary movie oh okay because it's like
a disney channel original movie but it's uh all right um you know it's got some stuff in it that
i guess little little kids would you know not know what's happening you know because it might
be a little confusing but for me uh a movie that i just have always
loved since i was a kid and that i just think uh even kids might get into it is is called what's
up doc oh i don't know with barbara streisand and ryan o'neill great flick yes yeah and it's
and you know i was rated a g at the time even though there's like one scene where a man is like
pushing a woman to
the ground and,
and a few other moments that are just,
you know,
in today's climate are a little rough,
but,
but such a fun movie with misplaced bags and a lot of,
it pays homage to all the,
you know,
pie fights and chase scenes and,
you know,
every possible kind of uh wacky set piece
from uh the older screwball comedies fun yeah if you've never seen it check it out and uh what a
dazzling array of choices we gave you of movies to watch with the family before october kicks in. And because like probably around Halloween,
your daughter, Matt, a couple of years from now,
when she's too young,
she's going to see something she shouldn't see
when she's too young
because you like horror too much to keep it from her.
Yeah, it's going to probably happen.
The one guardrail in place is that my wife does not like horror
so okay yeah that's a good guardrail man that helps don't i if i have one just because i think
this is what ruined horror movies for me as a kid is like i i had a one-two punch of seeing
it the old one and then uh and then seeing Chucky the first child's
play oh my god Tom I'm the same I those are the ones that freaked me out because that's like stuff
that's for kids clowns and dolls yeah and then seeing that shit I was like this stuff is very
real to me right now like there is a I have to be around dolls a lot because my like sister and cousin
where they had dolls around i'm like this thing could this thing could blow at any moment you know
yeah i had my mom move there was she bought this doll named kelly marie i guess because that's my
middle name she's like it's hard to find and i was like can you move this out of my room
yeah i mean i could see it trying to take your place it's already got the
same name as you yeah right no thank you well thank you for the recommendations and we're
going to go to our first commercial break we'll be right back we are back and you know the expression loose lips sink ships yeah i'm glad someone responded well
you're also polite this game is called loose feet sink fleet okay i'll say a fact either fun
or otherwise and you have to tell me if it applies to the OG original
Kevin Bacon Footloose
or the Footloose remake,
Too Loose, I think they should have called it,
or neither.
Nice.
So you have to be a super fan of one or both of these movies, I think,
for these to be easy questions.
But you have three choices.
I'll tell the first one, the first fun fact to Kelly.
And she gets to guess first.
And then if she doesn't get right out of the three options,
Matt gets a narrow down to two.
If Matt misses,
Tom just gets that gimme point
because he'll know the answer.
But every time someone gets one
right, the next person
gets to go
first in the next round.
First person with two points wins.
You only got to get two right to win. You ready,
Kelly? Sure.
Footloose. You only got to get two right to win. You ready, Kelly? Sure. He he he.
Footloose, too loose, or neither, was nominated for two Academy Awards.
Oh, man.
I feel like this is a trick.
I'm going to say Too Loose because the music.
You're saying the second Footloose, the reboot, if you will, of Footloose.
That is incorrect.
Oh, man.
So it wasn't a trick.
Matt.
Well, we'll see.
Matt, do you think that OG Footloose got two Academy Award nominations
or neither version of that movie got?
You know, it's probably neither,
but I think I'm going to go original
because I remember being a little kid in church
and my dad, you know, and just out of nowhere going, I think I'm going to go original because I remember being a little kid in church and my dad, you know,
and just out of nowhere going,
I think I'm going to get that footloose soundtrack and me going, yes.
I was so psyched. So for the music, I'm going to say, uh,
the original got nominated some kind of musical something.
That is correct. Oh, damn it.
Two of the songs on the soundtrack,
two of the original songs, Footloose and probably Let's Hear It for the Boy,
were nominated for Best Original Song.
Didn't manage to squeak in anywhere else,
even though the great John Lithgow is very fiery in a supporting role
and Diane Wiest is very motherly in a supporting role and diane weist is very uh motherly in a supporting role but they
fortunately you know they got their awards uh elsewhere um so that means that matt is on the
board and tom you get to go first on this next one i know i heard your disappointment tom
when matt figured that one out really was hoping it was going to be the other but
you know let's see what you can do with this.
The lead lady character, the young lady character in both of the
Footloose films is named Ariel.
But the question is, Ariel is played by an actress named Laura in
Footloose, Too Loose or or neither oh shit i should know this i i don't think it's
i feel like i if i heard the name of the actress from the first one i would know it and i
don't think that's it so i'm gonna say too loose you're going too loose
mm-hmm Oh, damn it. I'm an idiot.
Yeah, it comes back around to you, Kelly.
You got two choices.
I'm not going to be fooled again.
I'm hoping.
I don't know. I can't think of a Laura person.
I mean, aside from Lenny, you know.
You know.
Could have been Laura Lenny in the first Footloose.
I feel like I'd know that.
I'm going to say neither.
That is correct.
Fuck.
Figured it out.
Too Loose was Julianne
Hough played the
role of Ariel and in
the original Footloose, it was
Laurie Singer.
Close.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, if somebody might have remembered Laurie Singer,
I might have thrown them off that Laura was so close.
What twisted games you play.
Nobody.
Yeah.
No, I have.
There's twists nobody even notices because they're not even thinking
that hard about it
Alright, so
Kelly got the point that time
So we're back to
Matt
First one, second one, or neither
The last line of the movie is
Everybody boogie.
You know what?
I've only seen the first one.
I don't remember that
line in the first one, so I'm going to go neither.
You're going neither
based on very little information.
Based on
not seeing one and not remembering the other.
That is correct.
You did it, Matt.
Yes.
Congratulations.
You won loose lips, sink ships.
I mean, loose feet, sink fleet.
The final tie-breaking question was going to be,
opening title sequence consists solely of close-ups
of dancing feet.
Oh, is that the...
I feel like that's the first one.
Yeah, right? That is the first one,
but did they do that again in the sequel?
Yeah, sure. Yeah, they did.
This is no.
Wow. That was for you, Kelly. Here, they did. I guess there's no. Wow.
That was for you, Kelly.
Here's one for you, Tom.
Hey.
And here's another one for you, Matt, just for fun.
All right.
So, Matt, though, you did win that game.
And, oh, in the second footloose,
they decided to show feet up close
dancing but cut back to wide shots of a whole group of kids like outdoors like a backyard party
like immediately immediately stab establishing the lawlessness of these kids that they go out
to like some barn and dance uh and then i didn't watch all of it but they probably got in trouble right away
uh after the after the title sequence ended of course you got to wait for the title sequence to
end right right uh before action starts sometimes sometimes movies are just like your total story
going on under the credits you just never know what way it's going to go although the big favorite
these days seems to be just the title card at some
point in the first few minutes. And that's, you know,
no other mention of any credits until the end.
Yeah. I don't want to distract you.
Well, it's just more like, we got to get them into this movie.
They're in a multiplex. They do not have to stay in their seat. Right.
And go watch something else for free uh we got to take another break for our last and final game of the day oh this is timing out beautifully we'll be right back we are back and we've got one
more game to play and uh you know matt bronger he has to run out and do he's got comedy to do
if you're in columbia right now you missed it
into that time zone over there well it's actually like a a sound check where the sound guy has to
come in early and like hey can you and he asked me like
yesterday i was like sure and then i really i looked at my schedule and i was like back
so i hope that's cool thanks guys oh no it's no problem at all i mean uh but also the it's always
this sound check for stand-up comedy is hilarious because it's so funny yeah but then sometimes you
don't do it and you're like man i wish that there had been a sound check in here yeah absolutely you're right you know i think doug is good at just introducing
weird non-stand-up things into a stand-up like like a weird instrument just occasionally finding
a thing doug i would suggest just a pitch just two cymbals like the guy who just crashes two
cymbals together in the symphony just hold those out while you're at a standup mic.
Make people guess when you're going to bash them together.
That,
that would be soundcheck worthy if a comic did that.
So just,
just for you.
Yeah,
no,
it's true.
Like you got it.
If you're going to have to go to soundcheck,
you might as well be checking something,
you know,
like obviously impressionists tend to want like Michael
Windsor likes a good soundcheck.
Cause like,
you know,
a lot of times if it's an expensive microphone,
if you cup it to make like a,
you know,
noises,
you know,
sound effects with your mouth,
you know,
like feedback on you,
you know,
like they're too sensitive.
I could talk about microphones all day but
we're gonna play a game we're gonna play a game that's based on an old game on the show
but with a new twist and the game is called i am d Oh, hell yeah.
I love this game.
Because I am DB.
A joke that some people say never gets old,
but I say it was born old.
It's the Benjamin Button of jokes.
I'll name a
thespian.
And then each of you
get four guesses
trying to name movies
or TV shows that are in that actor's top
four or as IMDb says,
known for. They list four movies
for most famous actors.
And so basically you just have to think of what are the most popular movies
these people have been in and you get one point for each one you get right.
And we rotate who gets to go first since he won the first game.
Matt gets to go first in this first round
and he also gets to go first
if it ends in a tie
which could be Kroosh
what was the order last time
okay so then we'll go to Kelly
and then we'll go to Tom
reverse the order
like I said you'll each get
four guesses
but Kelly
gets to guess four titles
first and then
Matt gets to try to pick up points with
the you know any leftover titles
in her wake
is this for the tie
say what is this for the tie
at the end where he
picks the titles or right now?
Right now.
So Matt's starting or Kelly's starting?
Matt's starting, then we go to Kelly, and then we go to you.
Gotcha.
And it's we name four movies.
Yeah.
When it's your turn, you get four guesses,
but there may be anywhere from zero to four titles still available.
Right.
And you tell us after each person, how many titles are in the four?
Yeah. I'll tell you as you know,
you say four and they'll tell you how many, which ones you got. Right.
Cool.
Kelly.
Matt is first.
Kelly. I wanted you to know that Matt is first. Okay. Tom as well. Matt is first Kelly I wanted you to know that Matt is first Okay Matt
Tom as well Matt is first
Okay this is for Matt
Give me four
And of course
If you ever don't know four
Of course you don't have to say four
But it's to your advantage
To say as many as you can
Zoe
Saldana oh okay so uh i'm gonna say
uh let's say is she okay let me get my head around who that is
head around who that is um no no okay no no okay yeah yeah yeah yeah oh man i'm so bad but i think i yeah i'm i'm i hope i'm right about who this is i'm gonna go um uh uh guardians of the Galaxy. I'm going to go...
What is that movie?
What is that movie?
Mission Impossible 2.
Oh, God.
What was the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie called?
Damn it.
I'm just going to say...
I don't think it's called this,
but I'm just going to say Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
And... Oh, God.
She's been in so many things.
And it's not this, but I'm going to go The Losers.
Because that's a fun movie.
Yeah, didn't crack the top four on Forge.
I know it didn't.
But that's me betting with my heart like everyone in Vegas says you never do.
Right.
But you pulled one out of there, Guardians of the Galaxy.
Cool.
Okay.
Yeah, that was correct.
And so you got one point.
You're on the board.
Okay, sweet.
Kelly, you get four guesses.
Try to get three points.
So we have to say the entire title.
We can't say Guardians 2.
We got to be- Correct. Full and correct titles oh man i would kind of love it if you just let kelly do that
like not me but her for no reason yeah no no because i figured guardians 2 is on it
i don't know what it is i don't know what the name is uh i'll just say event i'll say guardians of the galaxy no that's we've
already established yeah yeah i don't know if we have to list four oh so i just list four more
four other ones yeah oh okay uh i'm gonna say avengers end game um uh i don't know what what else she's at center stage um um Avengers Infinity War is she in that too I'm
just going the superhero easy route because I don't know what else and Guardians of the Galaxy
2 what's my guess for the title um it's something about music right volume guardians of the galaxy volume two
maybe all right so kelly you're on the board you've got one right cool yeah so you got one
point and that of course was guardians of the galaxy volume two wait can you kelly which
avengers did you i said end game okay it's a memory game she also said Infinity War
and
I think she said
Spider-Man No Way Home
no I didn't say No Way Home
and Center Stage
and Chorus Line
yeah
so that
there's two points left Tom
you could leap into the lead
if you can think two
other most known for zoe saldana films so this is so i'm gonna say avatar oh damn it
wow
that was blue zoe that was there
he had an entirely blue blue cast he would have been long since
actually blue people like come on it was they were on their in their eiffel 95 uh bag um i
am curious and you can if i am not allowed to ask this you can tell me to go fuck myself but
is it possible is there movies that aren't out on this list no okay because
avatar 2 is coming um right you know it's my it might pop up on the on her list like
around the time it opens but usually it takes a while gotcha uh okay in that case i'll say i'll
just say avengers uh age of of Ultron alright well the Avengers
tree did not
yield any results
it was the wrong one
to bark up
but if you're
talking it's kind of wild
that she's kind of a
different color
in each of these movies because
she of course was in the
reboot of Star Trek.
Oh my God, that's right.
Yeah. So like
Avatar, Guardians, and Star Trek,
she's three different colors.
She's a one-woman
diversity squad.
She caught hell for doing that Nina Simone
biopic where they widened her nose and darkened
her skin. Yikes.
That was like, I'm sure that's the bottom of the list because
I don't even know
I didn't even know that existed.
I only know about it because of the
controversy because a lot
of people of color were like, this is bullshit.
You should have hired a darker skinned
actor for it.
Yeah.
I guess that really shut it down because yeah it's
not a movie i don't i don't think i've heard much about but um yet those people were silent when the
thin man came out right uh by and less than thin man i don't what was that was is there was it a
very large woman i didn't i didn't catch what that was. The thin man.
Was that like Wink Wink?
It was like a big guy was called the thin man?
I think that's just like a name for a detective or something.
I can't remember why.
I thought the thin man in the books was skinny.
Oh, yeah.
Nora Charles was the thin man.
That was like a couple played by David Niven
in the movies.
He was thin. They called him the thin man that was like a couple played by david niven in the in the movie movies um and he was thin yes they called him a thin man because he was thin man but you know how sometimes they
call sometimes people's nickname is the opposite of what their size is so right yeah oftentimes so
it's confusing especially when you haven't met the person it's confusing um but anyway uh avatar
is back in theaters and making a shit ton more money.
So I guess people are excited about more Avatar.
And Guardians 3 is coming up, I guess, next year sometime.
Kelly gets to go first in the second round.
Matt's got one point.
She's got one point.
And Tom Takar is here, everybody.
Wait, did I not get one for Avatar?
Was that not on there?
You know what? I apologize.
We have a three-way tie going into round two.
You have to pay attention to every aspect of this game, unfortunately.
Such as the scoring of one point.
I can't.
Yeah, one point. I'm like, I can't even. I be expected to keep yeah one point i'm like i can't
even i already wrote down points for two other people what do you want from me
all right here we go kelly uh the films of sigourney weaver okay ghostbusters Alien.
Ghostbusters 2.
I don't.
Oh, Avatar.
I wasn't going to get fooled again.
I told you guys.
Now, the best known for on somebody's IMDb page is either set up by an algorithm of popularity based on a search engine on the site.
Or if someone has IMDb Pro and knows what they're doing, they can go in there and select their own best known for.
Yeah.
So you never know if it's the actor, their their representatives or just the algorithm that decides these things but bottom line is tends to be their things they're most known for
um so kelly managed to take down two more points she's got three points two titles remain in Sigourney Weaver's top four.
And Tom, you're up.
Which ones were picked?
Which ones?
Oh, yeah.
Which ones were?
Oh, yeah.
Good.
Good call.
Avatar and Alien are in there.
They did not.
She or somebody disrespected the Ghostbusters.
Wow.
Okay.
Well, then that changes one of my answers um
well she said both of them what'd you have the lady ghostbusters well there's there's the
afterlife or whatever i wasn't i haven't seen it i just was naming ghostbusters i don't know
her stuff though but i'm gonna say uh galaxy quest uh great that. Yeah, it's a great movie.
Aliens.
Yeah.
I don't know enough of these, so I'm going to say Alien 3
and then I'm out.
Alien with a little 3,
like it's a math thing, but it doesn't make any
sense.
Fincher likes that.
He puts that 7 in the middle of the word
seven instead of a V.
I don't know how to break this
to you, Tom, so I'm just going to tell you straight.
Zero points.
Damn it.
Great guesses, though.
Great guesses.
Matt, can you think of anything left over?
Yeah, Dave.
The movie Dave with Kevin
Klein.
What else
you got? First Lady.
Voting With My Heart,
Like an Idiot.
Love that movie.
And
of course, the
SNL sketch with Phil
Hartman where Dana Carvey says he's been writing an album
but hasn't written shit and sings Chopping Broccoli.
To me, the influence of that comedically
was as good as any movie.
I don't have a third eye.
All right.
Fair enough.
So Kelly remains
in the lead and
the remaining films
were
in the number one slot, believe it or not,
Alien Resurrection.
What?
Yeah. And then
Alien Avatar and
finally Gorillas in
the Mist.
What is that?
That's where she played the gorilla research lady, Diane Fossey.
And I believe she was nominated for Best Actress in that,
Best Supporting Actress in Working Girl.
And I think she won in the same year, which happens very rarely.
And she won for Supporting Actress, I think.
Or she won for Best Actress
for Grills in the Biz.
Maybe that was the year Jessica Lange won for
Tootsies for Support. I don't know.
One more round. Kelly's in the lead
with three. Matt's got one. Tom's got one.
We've got to get going.
Tom, you get to start us off this time.
All right.
The films Tom, you get to start us off this time. All right. And the films of Michelle Rodriguez.
Ooh, that is fucking tough, man.
God damn it.
I think she was in In the Heights.
No, she's not.
But she was, she's like the she's the sister in fast and furious
so i'm just gonna go down the line i guess of fast and furious because that's the only thing
i can think of all right what do you got all right i'm gonna say f9 because that was the most
recent one i think and then i'm just going to go old school and say
Fast and Furious
she wasn't in some of them right
did she go wait what was that one
Fast and oh fuck
all right god
damn it I forgot there's no like this
all right F9 I'm sure of
and then I'm going to say I'll just
Fast and the Furious All right. F9, I'm sure of. And then I'm going to say I'll just.
Fast and the furious. And then I'm going to say too fast, too furious.
And then I believe it's fast. Seven is one of them.
I can't remember, but that's what I'm going to answer.
That's your four guesses. You got one right. All right.
And that was the Fast and the Furious.
Well done.
Yeah.
This is an exciting finish here.
Because Kelly
still got this, but
Matt, she's still going gonna contend with uh matt uh
so matt what do you think jesus um uh god damn it i keep i don't know why i keep thinking of
these random i know this was her debut was uh i'm not mistaken as a girl a girl
a movie called girl fight it's about boxing and so maybe that's there because i know it was kind
of like a festival sensation i'd also like to just add whatever and i know this is totally
legal and acceptable in your game whatever fast and the Furious ones Tom didn't say
I'd like to throw those in there
oh if only it were that easy
I can only think of the one
I don't think she was in which was Tokyo Drift
so I'm not going to say that
that would pop right at the front of my head
of course it's got the best name of any movie
you don't have any other
Fast and Furious movies?
Like
Just by saying some words and numbers
I still forgot them
Oh, Fast Five?
That's one, yes
Okay
We got Girl Fight
Fast Five
Fast Five
Fuck it Blue Crush We got Girl Fight, Fast Five. Fast Five.
Fuck it.
Blue Crush.
Oh, yeah, Blue Crush.
Blue Crush.
Lesbian classic.
Almost every lesbian friend I've ever had is like,
Blue Crush is the best.
One more.
And Come On, Come On, Come On, Come On, Come On.
I love the sequel to Come On, Come On. one actually um no i got nothing man i'm blanking i'm sorry
no that's all right don't you worry about it because uh you know everybody wanted kelly to win
and so i think it's a dream it's a dream ending for everybody.
This was a tricky one for sure because
the Fast and Furious movies do have silly titles
and they pick weird ones
for her. Please.
Resident Evil is one?
You're trying to rub it in. You want more points?
That's the only Michelle Rodriguez
movie I can think of a filthy winner well that doesn't matter because it didn't make the cut they went with
furious seven so you're so close i was so close i couldn't remember which one was best which one
furious they're just all over the place and then they're all over the road and then um fast and
furious six was just pretty simply titled with both of the titles and the six and then she was
also in uh the movie version of the tv show swat uh i knew she was a cop and something
she seems like a cop lady freaking swat so there you go There's the debut of the IMDb
And Kelly
You pulled it out
You did it, you're our winner today
And I'm excited to say
If you want to come back on Sunday
At this same time
That is when, I'm not going to say who

You can kind of put it on there if you want.
And, you know, I wanted to make it kind of an event because it does have a crazy twist ending where I bring someone out of the audience and there's a reveal.
It's almost like a magic trick.
And I spent almost a year doing it in the road, this closer, and people would film it.
And then I'd have to ask them to not put it up.
I'd have to get online and online and go hey can you take this
down and everyone it was a peach everyone to a man or a woman was like oh shit sorry but it's
one of those things i kind of wanted i was like oh this is a you know good time to take the
opportunity to make it an event and be like don't spoil it so yeah just go on there and there there
will be i created merch that i think uh doug who was a 50-something shitbird that my wife and I met on vacation.
