Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds
With 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth
There's still not one that he won't see
Cause Doug loves movies
Hey everybody, my name is Doug and I love movies.
This is Doug Movies!
You know what also I love?
One microphone stand
just for my mic.
I'm sorry I didn't notice that earlier
when I was standing around.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, that's the crack team here at here at the nerd melt
showroom at Meltdown comics Los Angeles
what else did I want to say the, that's always important to get out there.
It's Monday, December 5th, 2016.
What?
I think so.
It's not Monday, December 5th, 2016?
Oh, you're just curious.
Oh, I thought you were questioning me,
but rather you're just not sure yourself.
Well, take my word for it.
I wrote it down, and I'd rather not hear from you again.
He's so close and so casual.
What's the name tag situation in here tonight?
Do we have a few?
Oh, looks good.
Oh, looking real good.
We got something feathery over there.
Oh, it's Feathers is back.
Didn't you win all the prizes?
No, none of them.
Oh, you didn't.
Okay, so Feathers is back.
I like everybody to, you know,
once you win, to not try to win again.
But I don't know.
I'm not going to remember.
We got Eric Brockovich.
Finally, Erin Brockovich has my face over her face.
I wish she'd put my face over her tits.
That's what I would enjoy.
The Santa Claus.
So you're named Santa.
And we got Bruce Willis with Bri Hard 2.
Bri Harder.
And that's you,
Brian.
Yeah, instead of Bruce Willis
on the Die Hard 2 poster.
Yeah, good job.
I don't know why more people
don't do it that way. People put my face
on a lot of shit.
Why would my guests care if my face is on the thing? Like, People put my face on a lot of shit. Why would my guests care if my face
is on the thing?
You might as well, like, there's my face on
12 monkeys.
12 monkey-keets.
And then there's a
Medicaid, a
medical J on there, too.
Yeah.
So you have your medical
card?
He does.
I tried to put the microphone
in front of him for that scintillating
answer.
So yeah, if somebody picks
that name tag, I'm going to tear that J
right off of there.
Casey Biscuit.
I like it.
Abby movie
instead of B movie.
Hey, we saw you guys out front.
Did you get, I mean out back, did you get an okay going through the back way?
Nobody yelled at you?
They're nice here at Meltdown.
What's yours, dude?
Jason City.
I like it.
Oh, wait.
Inherent Vice is just Inherent Vice.
You guys are really going crazy with the Build-A-Title,
with your names into the title.
I swear we'll play Build-A-Title.
Some people will request it from time to time,
and we will play it again sometime.
I just got to get a panel of guests
that aren't going to be completely confused by it.
I should have played it tonight,
because we've got some smarties coming out here tonight.
The prize bag includes, I just did some more episodes of Pitch Off, my show over at Screen Junkies Plus.
And the folks at Screen Junkies were nice enough to give me, you don't have to applaud for that.
Such an applaud attempt.
Such an applaud attempt.
So they gave me a hat and a Screen Junkies T-shirt that goes in the bag.
Oh, hey, Ryan, did you bring any T-shirts tonight?
Yeah, can you toss one at me?
And then, because the bag is super light tonight,
I got to invest in some good bag stuff.
Here's a Peacemaker pipe. Oh, from Ryan McManaman.
A beautiful
Douglas Movies t-shirt.
This is a really big one. It's like a
double XL, maybe.
There's a proud
possible owner right there.
Plus we have all the stuff that
my guests are going to bring out here.
But before I bring you out here, I've got a couple of pieces of housekeeping.
Starting with everybody's favorite, Doug Pluggs.
Next Monday, December 12th.
He seems okay with it.
Doug Lewis Movies returns to Cap City Comedy Club in Austin, Texas.
Then Saturday, December 17th,
we're going to do it at the Improv
in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Second time there at 420.
And then the next L.A. show
is right here at Meltdown Comics
on December 22nd at 9 o'clock.
Is anybody going to be around on December 22nd?
A lot of people will bug out of LA.
All right,
we'll have a nice little,
you know,
three nights before Christmas kind of thing.
Right?
Yeah, three nights.
And looking to 2017,
I'm doing a Benson movie
interruption
of Fifty Shades of Grey
at the Castro Theater
in San Francisco
as part of the SF sketch fest
that's on Sunday January 15th at 420 so that'll be up against a football game
I'm sure but I'm also sure the Niners will not be participating I don't know
much about sports but I have not heard good things about the Niners this year. More information on all my dates at DougLovesMovies.com! Thank you. Stay strong. Douglovesmovies.com
I just can't do it, you guys.
There's too many people that don't find that amusing.
It's just tense.
It was almost a minute that time.
That was almost a minute?
See, I think I hit a minute on one of them recently.
And that is rough.
You've got to find a lot of business to do.
You've got to count on the audience snickering a lot
so it feels fun even though it's just fucking
silence.
Like when they say a moment
of silence anywhere, I'm like
way over the moment before
they wrap up the moment.
I'm always the guy that's like, let's go.
Moment of silence. Bang, that's
a moment. That was
another one. Moments can go
just as fast
as seconds, I think.
It only
takes
a moment.
Alright. Now it's time for tweet relief.
Tweets about movies.
You're the worst creator and pal
of mine, Stephen underscore
or Stephen, not underscore,
Stephen with a PH, I wanted to say, Falk.
He tweeted, a movie about the founding of McDonald's?
Because last year, America couldn't get enough of that movie about a lady who invented a mop.
This has been Tweet Relief, No Joy in
2016 Edition.
Alright.
I'm very excited about the lineup
that we have for you this evening.
My three guests because they're all
involved with the movie that I enjoyed.
It's been
a few months and months.
We'll get into it.
But it's a movie that you can see now or soon,
and we'll get that information from them as well.
The director of and two of the stars of an indie movie called Slash.
Please welcome Clay Lifford, Missy Pyle, and Michael Ian Black
hey how's it going hey great well let. Well, let's meet you all individually,
starting with not to, I don't want to be sexist or anything,
but I want to start with the first timer on the show.
This gentleman directed and wrote the motion picture Slash,
which the other two guests are two of the stars of.
It's Clay Lifford, everybody.
Hey.
Where did I see it?
You were at South by Southwest.
That's like last March I saw this movie.
Do you remember that
we were complacent? I think we witnessed a murder
together that night.
We did?
I wonder.
I can't remember when I saw your movie.
Do you remember we were in the alley
behind that terribly named bar?
What were we doing out there, I wonder?
I don't know.
Remember the bar next to us?
Hand jobs?
You had to roll stuff, so I guess there's a hand involved.
Yeah, we rolled it up and put another bar next door the guy they dumped out this dude's body like I guess
he had too much to drink okay game but none of us wanted to like you know you
guys see you were like no we had stuff on us but like yeah they're not gonna do
it again we didn't see anything either. The guy just rolled out. Yeah, they just dumped this dude's body out.
But he wasn't dead yet.
No.
What is the real story, Clay?
We killed a guy.
Yeah, I don't remember that.
But it sounds like it was probably an interesting night.
And I was excited about your movie.
It's very, very want to can you tell people
like I'm sure you've done a lot of press and you're sick of describing it but just briefly
tell people what the movie's about yes I don't know so people oftentimes I'll tell you if you're
right or not yeah I probably will be wrong a lot of people think we're a slasher film because we're
not and or we are about the guy from Guns N' Roses.
No, we're actually about slash fiction.
Do you guys know what slash fiction is?
I think so.
I saw a whole movie about it
so I know what it is.
Basically, it's about these...
Can somebody have a guess?
Can somebody describe it
and see if they can get it right?
If they know what slash fiction is?
I don't know.
I'd be sad if somebody got it wrong.
It's like when Spock fucks Kirk.
That's what it is.
Yeah, it's basically it.
I'm sure that's not the example
the audience member would use.
It's the most common one.
It's actually where the term came from.
No, slash fiction is where
typically characters from pop culture uh uh oftentimes of the same sex uh are put right
are put into romantic situations and usually an unintended by the original author and are
written by fans and our movie is about a couple of younger i'm picturing harry and uh
movies about a couple of younger kids. I'm picturing Harry and
Ron Weasley
right now. The short film with Slash
which we made a couple years before. Yeah, first it
started out as a short film. It was Harry Potter erotica.
It was. Entirely.
And then when you turned it into a
feature film, you had to like
the Harry Potter folks would have sued you.
Yeah, well. But you used them
a little bit, right? You should talk into your microphone
because that's what it's for.
You used them. Some bit, right? You should talk into your microphone because that's what it's for. You used them.
Some Harry Potter in the movie?
There's a little bit.
I mean, I know you guys, like Michael, you and Nate Rubin, one of the other actors who's out there right now in the audience, had a song.
Shout out to Nate.
Nate.
Yeah, audience loves Nate.
You can tell.
There's some Nate Rubin fans here for sure.
Nate's a star in my previous feature, Woos.
Well, I don't think that's a very nice thing to say about him.
But if that's what happened.
But anyway, yeah, so they talk about Harry Potter in the movie a little bit.
You came up with a thing.
Your improvs are in there.
I did?
Yeah, you improv.
There's something about like Panty Raid on Slytherin or something like that.
Oh yeah, that's funny.
We've been talking about that.
But anyway, these kids,
they write erotic fan fiction
and this one kid
kind of becomes
a little bit famous for it
and he's probably like
a little too young
to be doing that.
He's like 15
and he is contacted
by the head of a very,
like a famous web blog
which,
who invites him to a convention
to a library not knowing that he's only
15 and that person
may or may not be played by Michael.
So, yes.
And yeah, so it's like
It looked like you were looking to me to
confirm. Sometimes I can't remember. It's been a long
road. Well, let's go ahead
and say hi to him as long as we're chatting with him.
It's Michael Ian Black, everybody.
Bye.
Bye.
MIB, I like to call you.
Fun stuff.
MIB.
Sometimes when I'm feeling especially, like, fun.
When I'm feeling fun, I will call you MIB3.
The most underrated of the men in black films.
Or overrated.
I shouldn't, yeah.
I don't know why you'd use the word rated in any direction.
At that point, it was just like, oh, they're doing that again.
And they're doing it pretty much the same way.
But Josh Brolin was in the third one.
That part was fun.
He did a good impression.
Did you just wake up just now?
I did, yes.
I just woke up just in time to see on the clock
near the wall that it's 9.20,
so it's 4.20 somewhere,
and I'll be back to sleep in a couple minutes.
But yeah, I got very excited about that
because James Rowland did do a good impression
of what a young Tommy Lee Jones would act like.
Oh, right.
And weren't they going to make a 21 Jump Street
crossover with Men in Black?
And it died on the vine,
but that was the plan for a while.
I would think that would be a fun idea
because I like the Jump Street movies.
I think they're fun.
Yeah, that's something. So if you bring that sensibility over to Men in Black, I think it would be a fun idea because I like the Jump Street movies. I think they're fun.
So if you bring that sensibility over to Men in Black,
I think it would be good.
Instead, Will Smith was like,
I'll take my sensibility over to Suicide Squad.
And you know what?
Not one of them killed themselves,
so that title is some bullshit. But the audience did.
They sure did, Michael.
That's right, Michael.
I didn't see it. I didn't see it. I don't know.
Listen, Michael stars in Slash
as a character
named...
named Dennis
with only one N.
That is a common spelling.
I mean, they're both valid.
Okay.
I've never seen that.
What's your backstory?
He's French-Canadian.
So in his mind, yeah, his family pronounces it Denis.
He's named after Claire Denis, the great filmmaker.
Oh, okay.
Has anybody ever seen Dennis Phil with one N?
Dennis Leary.
Ugh, get out.
Missy.
He spells with one also?
Is that true?
But everybody just says Dennis normal style.
No.
You never hear anybody going,
Denis Leary.
Denis Leary.
Here's something fun about Dennis with one N
and Dennis Leary.
You rearrange letters, you get the word snide.
With two Ns, you rearrange letters, what do you get?
Sinned.
Sinned.
No.
That was so fun.
How is that a no?
Do you ever do anagrams on Doug Loves Movies?
No, I don't think so.
Loves would be solve, right?
Add an A to Doug, you get Gouda.
You sure do, duh.
We can solve some Gouda later.
Movies doesn't anagram.
You can't do that.
One more person.
Men says Michael Ian Black.
Huh?
It said Men says Michael Ian Black.
You're with the anagrams.
Oh, I thought you were saying
Michael Ian Black anagrams to Mensa.
No, that would be real dumb.
Is that what Vimeo is?
Vimeo?
It's a movie, right?
Yeah, but that's not a word.
You understand?
Michael Nia Peebles.
No, I gave him Nia.
But it's a website?
Yes, it is.
I feel like I'm watching lunchtime on the set of the film.
The kinds of conversations you guys would have.
And let me introduce her before I forget.
It's Missy Pyle, everybody.
Thank you.
Second time on the show.
Remember that first time you were on?
You were on with Alan Two Dicks.
remember that first time you were on you were on with Alan
Two Dicks
I had a friend
who was
the agent of someone he was
dating and
that agent told me at
my 30th birthday party
where he was DJing that
they don't call him Two Dick for nothing
according to
the girl
so wait he really has two dicks They don't call him two dick for nothing. According to the girl.
So wait.
Where is the other dick? He really has two dicks?
I think it just...
I think they were just saying...
It's like the babies aren't holding a baby's arm
holding an apple.
More than one.
It's like as if there were two...
So he has a vestigal dick.
Yeah.
He has a dick and then he had a twin
that died inside him.
I think it's up for anyone's interpretation. I interpret it as he has a dick and then he had a twin that died inside him I think it's up for
anyone's interpretation
I interpret it as
he has a dick
and then a little
it's kind of like
one of those lines
that Samantha would have
on Sex and the City
where you go
did that even make sense
yeah
you know
it's just
you just say it
like yeah
well it was
no go off
two dick for nothing
that's right
yeah just
put a little
sauce on it.
Spray a little out of the sides.
Did you ever see that Cronenberg film, Rabid,
where she has a penis in her armpit?
Like Marilyn Chambers is like the...
I thought she had a mouth and some teeth in her armpit.
No, it's like a...
It's an actual dick hanging out of her armpit?
It comes out.
I once auditioned for a movie where I'd play a woman
who got breasts from a dead person. I could have her breasts
and she had a mouth and teeth coming out of her.
Auditioned, didn't get it, but still
managed to pull yourself up and continue
in the business?
Barely.
What was the name of that movie?
Titty Dick?
Titty Dick.
I don't know.
I can't remember.
I don't think I...
I think it was a...
That would have been a...
I mean, if they had called that
Look Who's Talking,
that actually would have been very funny.
Look Who's Talking 2.
There's two of them.
Let's go down the line
and see what you brought tonight
for our prize bag.
A tradition on the show.
It's Clay's first attempt, but he seemed to have brought a lot.
Clay brought for everybody.
Oh, he did?
No, you picked these out yourself.
I mean, that's what I meant.
Okay, so this bag represents all of you?
Yeah.
Talk us through it, Clay.
Okay, so I've got a couple of things.
So the first thing is because everyone, including the banker
for my movie, is like, hey, how's that horror film
coming? I brought a movie
because people think we're a slasher movie. I brought Slasher
Weekend. I have no idea
if this is a good movie. Slasher Weekend?
Is it like a three-day weekend
or just a quick
two days of slashing?
Maybe it's over Thanksgiving
or nice days of slashing? Maybe it's over Thanksgiving? I think it's like...
Four nice days of slashing activity?
Maybe you get a good Christmas.
Based on the apparent budget,
I think it's going to be like 12 minutes,
a 12-minute vacation.
Maybe like a lunch break.
Okay.
What is the running time?
What is the running time?
What kind of set are you running
when you think lunch is 12 minutes long?
So I have two copies of our DVD, which has not
even come out yet.
Of course it's not out on DVD yet.
It comes out in a couple days.
On DVD and in theaters at the
same time? Yeah.
I forgot to get the
details on that. It comes out
tomorrow. I don't know when this airs, but
on December 6th, we will be on iTunes.
We're an iTunes exclusive for a week.
But also we open here. This actually leads
to my next gift. We open here at the
Lemley NoHo on the 16th
and we run for a week at the NoHo.
And I have
two tickets
to any one of those shows. Nice!
And an envelope.
I borrowed an envelope
from the person
I'm staying with.
It's just a postcard
with my producer's email on it
so you can just
play or ask him.
Hold on a second.
Oh, here it comes.
Okay, his email is...
I'm going to throw in
$5 for popcorn.
What a mensch.
What a mensch.
I'm going to throw in a couple more dollars
so they can get a small.
I've also got some, like...
I've got...
Oh, boy.
I've got these fun, like...
I have extra stuff, too,
that you can just give to whoever.
I have these...
These are books.
So we had a researcher
do some research on erotic fanfic,
and she interviewed a lot of
writers within the
fanfic community and she made this
fun little book about it and it was kind of like a culmination
of some of the research. It also has some artwork
from the film and has some other junk in it.
It looks very fun.
And I got a metric
poop ton. Can I get you cursed on this show?
How does it work?
I got a shit ton of these
kind of like
Dominion trading cards.
Dominion size or Magic the Gathering size.
This character
character cards.
You can just gambit them.
I was going to say, put them all in one.
You're the
What do you want me to do?
You do the cool thing you do if you're like a cool gambling guy where you're like,
This is fun.
Can you make it rain?
I'm making it rain on Mr. What Day Is It?
You gotta spread them out.
You gotta hit the back row.
Okay, I'll hit the back row.
Watch your eyes.
Who's the, who's the cartoon, is it Gambit?
Who's the guy, is it the guy from The X-Men? My face, gambit? My face.
My face. Oh no.
My face.
My career.
The
Missy Powell ones. I grabbed the wrong
sets of the Missy Powell ones. The rare ones.
People are ducking. They want these
so bad.
Do you ever make people airplanes?
No.
That's what we're seeing here.
That literally is boomeranged back to you.
Why is this so hard?
This is going to be the best episode of the podcast. It's going to be like 30 minutes
of people just having cards thrown at them.
People love it.
Callisters love any kind of dick around.
So they just don't have to listen to words
or thoughts.
Here, these are easier to throw.
I have a Michael Ian Black Dennis with one N.
Who wants...
Missy, these are easier for you.
They're larger.
They're postcards.
I think you could do some damage with the postcards, though.
I don't know.
Watch the eyes.
I really think I could do damage.
I have a t-shirt cannon.
See, it's harder than it looks.
Not with me, but I...
That's what she said.
Nope.
All right, all of that's going into the...
The postcards are not easier to throw.
Like this. The postcards are not easier to throw.
Like this.
They're going to hurt more if they hit you in the eye.
That's for sure.
Do you guys have a workers' comp insurance on this show?
I don't think.
No, we're in the back of a comic book store.
You're aiming too high.
You've got to get a feel like how many more of those
do you have
this is how you are
as a director
I'm kidding
enough to fall in love
I bet everybody
can't wait to use them
send them home
to your parents
as a way of letting them know
that you enjoy
when fictional characters
throw a spell on it
let me just
for the listeners
read some of the reviews here
that are on the actual
oh I love this
yeah let's hear some reviews
effortlessly engaging
says Variety.
As heartfelt and grounded as a film
featuring multiple intergalactic pansexual orgies can be,
says The Advocate.
Absolutely hilarious, completely endearing.
AMFM Magazine.
Charming and slightly beautifully dangerous.
Birth.movies.death.
So these are some real publications,
except for the last one.
No, that's actually one of the larger ones. That's a big one, that birth, movies, death thing.. So these are some real publications except for the last one. No, that's actually
one of the larger ones.
That's a big one,
that birth, movies, death thing.
Oh, is that a real thing?
Yeah, man.
I didn't know that.
That's totally real.
Yeah, yeah.
We got some good ones.
Yeah, I knew that.
People have been very nice.
People have been very kind
about the movie.
Yeah, 100% currently
on Rotten Tomatoes.
Give it a day.
It comes out tomorrow
on Give It a Day.
Well, they got 10 reviews.
That's still pretty good,
I think.
Oh, really?
10 people all say
positive things about it.
They were all people
in Clay's family.
They were all...
My mom works
for the New York Times.
I mean, she orders
the New York Times.
Yeah, they haven't
reviewed it yet.
We'll see what happens
over there.
I know.
It's with them right now,
so everybody,
fingers crossed.
Alright. Have you had any time
when you're promoting your movie, have you had any time
to see anything lately?
What's the last movie you saw?
Last movie I saw was Arrival.
Which I thought was great.
And I read the story so I kind of knew what it was going into it.
There was a movie that's done the festival
circuit that I really, really, really love
and it's still playing around here
and it's not getting a ton of press
but I think you all would love it.
It's called The Love Witch.
You guys heard of The Love Witch?
The Love Witch.
Fucking amazing.
It's so good.
It's a female filmmaker.
She made it.
She shot on film.
She edited on film.
It's like a 35 print it's just like it's
like it's it's a 60s it looks like um it's a if like a doris wishman movie was directed by like
bob raffleson or a monkey's director like ever again it looks like i like that description of
a monkey's director like oh he did the head kind of a psychedelic uh crazy yeah I get it didn't Bob Reeves and he directed the head right yes yes yeah
head head yeah underrated movie no underrated sure but also it's called head oh I get it oh
the monkeys in head I get it I don't get it yeah it's just it meant like he had... Thinking. Like tripping. Yeah, I get it. Yeah, trippy.
But no, it's just a movie called Head.
Or it was Davy Jones' head.
Like isn't head cheese like the worst kind of cheese?
Sounds terrible.
Wasn't Head Cheese the original title of Texas Chainsaw Massacre?
No, really?
I think it actually was.
Wow. I think I'm not making that up.
That's quite a pull.
Missy, have you been to the movies lately?
I saw...
I too saw Arrival.
Did you like that?
I thought it was alright.
Right?
I liked a lot of pieces of it.
Doesn't the hype
is a bit too much maybe?
I can't talk about the climax of it
because people probably haven't seen it.
But did it not get to you as a parent?
As a parent, did that one aspect
of it not get to you?
I like when people say,
I liked it more than you because I have a reason.
Yeah.
Because I'm a parent.
No, you know how like,
can I say something about that happens
in the first two minutes of the movie or no?
First two minutes?
That seems like a fair game.
The trailers for that movie are terrible
in terms of what they give away.
You find out that her kid is dead.
And I was like,
any time someone's kid dies
in the first two minutes of the movie
and you're crying in your seat,
which I was. Yeah, you really have to ask yourself,
am I mentally deranged?
I don't know these people.
I know, but I was like,
it just seems so...
Two minutes I've been sitting here
and I'm bawling.
But Missy laughed at the end of My Girl.
What's wrong with me?
Didn't you laugh at the end of My Girl
when, like, Macaulay Culkin dies, right?
Well, that's because it was from bee stings,
which is the funniest death.
Not the bees!
You should do a super cut of that
in the Wicker Man remake.
Oh, no.
I like, there's a movie called The Swarm.
It was one of the final
Irwin Allen disaster movies.
There's a string of very successful ones, but they just got worse and worse and less and less successful.
And The Swarm was one of the last ones.
And The Swarm was not only were there too many bees, but it wasn't that they were stinging everyone.
The bees were doing things like taking helicopters out of the sky.
everyone, the bees were doing things like taking helicopters out of the sky.
And there's a scene
early on where the helicopter pilot
suddenly the entire windshield is
covered with bees and he's just like, bees,
bees, thousands of bees! And then
the helicopter just crashes and everybody dies.
Doug, you laugh, but that
is the entire basis of the film Sully.
Sully was all about
larger bees got into the
engine in Sully. You a Sully was all about larger bees got into the engine in Sully.
You a Sully fan?
I just watched
Sully for the first time. I got the
screener of Sully.
Loved it. Can you watch it on a plane?
Is that like an in-flight movie anywhere?
Do you think they use that as an in-flight movie?
Clay, I get screeners.
I don't think they're showing it on
any planes.
No, because everybody's fine.
That's all they show on planes.
It's their safety video.
I'm Sully.
Be sure to fasten your seatbelts.
Look what it did for these folks.
Just footage of cold people on the wing of the plane.
But yeah, you thought it was a good movie or just a compelling story?
I thought it was both, and I can tell you why.
They made what was essentially, not essentially,
what was literally a four-minute incident, aviation incident,
to which we already knew the ending,
into a compelling hour-and-a-half, two-hour film.
I bought it
That was my,
that was why I didn't like it
is because
they stretched out
four minutes to
that length.
I thought,
I found it very touching
in the end.
I always liked the part
where you see
the real people.
Was it like,
like 80% flashbacks
to fans?
No, it's
It's got a really interesting...
It goes back and forth a little bit.
Yeah, I thought the structure of it
was actually pretty interesting,
that it focuses primarily on the post-event
and on the hoopla surrounding that.
Hanks, as always, excellent.
If you're nervous about seeing the plane crash, though,
or plane crashes in general, they throw a few at you it's sully's nightmares yeah like you see sully what
if my the plane had landed in a building and you get to see that a few times and sort of like but
that's what could have happened can i mean yeah that's totally what it is but it's also like this
movie came out on the weekend of 9 11 and uh so it's kind of weird to just go sit in a theater
and watch buildings crash into planes.
What?
Wait a second.
That would be interesting.
Did that happen in Doctor Strange?
That's the new Transformers movie.
Buildings just crashing into planes.
Finally.
Finally the buildings fight back.
Michael Bay has fucked with them for so long now.
You can't be an innocent building in a Michael Bay movie.
Even if you're a famous monument.
Did we ask you, Michael, what you saw solely?
Okay, so we covered that.
Yeah.
Good work.
My last feature, in the first minute of my last feature,
there was a 9-11 joke.
Wuss?
Yeah, wuss.
And I guess finally the karma gods got back to me
because when we played in New York,
we opened on September 11th,
and I felt like I had to go out
and say something to the audience,
and I'm like, yeah, sorry.
But I think it probably just drew more attention.
Did they groan when it happened?
I don't think they would have noticed it because it's like a song that's played at a
high school reunion where a guy just like goes off off book and decides starts doing this 9 11 song
about his dead brother and then like i probably would have slipped another radar if i hadn't
brought attention to it so that's is that why nobody ever saw that film that is why everyone
it was so bad the theater were playing at playing at, the print didn't work.
I had to download my own movie off Amazon
just to play it at the theater.
Aw.
I finally watched a movie on Netflix
that people have been raving to me about
pretty consistently called Night Owls
with Adam Pally and Rosa Salazar is the girl's name.
I wasn't too familiar with her,
but I love most of Adam Pally's stuff.
And it was really engaging.
I really enjoyed it.
What's it about?
It's about a dude goes home with a girl,
one-night stand kind of situation,
but then she tries to kill herself.
I mean, this all happens in the first hour
and 40 minutes.
So I'm not giving too much away.
But yeah, she
tries to kill herself, and then he's got to...
It's called night owls, because he has to keep her up
all night, because you know how it is when you take
too many pills. You've got to stay awake.
For sure.
You mix your drinks at dinner tonight.
So?
That's the same thing, thing right don't go to sleep
I'll try to stay awake
for this podcast
yeah I don't know
how she's
I don't know how
she's gonna stay awake
with that siesta hat on
you're like the guy
from Jeepers Creepers
thank you
I mean it's the hat that came out wrong I'm sorry that came out terribly You're like the guy from Jeepers Creepers. Thank you.
I mean, it's the hat.
That came out wrong.
I'm sorry, Missy.
That came out terribly.
It's fine.
You just look like him from below the hat.
Yeah, there's no coming back from that one.
It's not as if I own it.
I'm sorry, Missy.
That's all right. This is a great time for me to move on to the next portion of the show and say
let the games
begin!
The games will begin in a moment, but the first
thing, I'll put one of those in the
prize bag and I'll chuck a couple at people
in the audience. Those will definitely
fly. Yeah, those
have got some good heft to them.
I don't want to hurt anybody.
You better not just hit that one dude.
What?
Everything is going...
Oh, that guy never got something good.
There you go.
Right into his hands.
That'll keep him from not suing you for the injuries.
So a bunch of people brought name tags,
and some people have postcards that say Slash on them.
But I need the three
of you to just get up and select the name tag
that you would like to play on
behalf of this evening for
whatever reason you like it.
There's some pretty good ones out there.
I like feathers just for the
effort involved. But Missy, if you
want feathers, you can have feathers. Missy can take feathers.
Yeah, Michael can
go after something
automatically just stop at the gilliam one because i love it but i'm gonna i'm gonna come back
what i'm sorry
normally i would just say is your ears his inherent vice then you just just didn't yeah
you just wrote just inherent vice because your name is is Justin And then it ends with I-N
And then it starts
With Inherent
Exactly
Because it is so unclever
I would like you
To play for you
Oh my god
The Aaron Brockovich one
Is so creep
Or
I almost feel like
I have to take that one
I think I have to take
I think I have to take
This one
Just because it's
Creeping me out
Me my face
On Aaron Brockovich
Yeah
That creeps you out?
I mean, it's...
Come on, man. That'd be some awesome
slash fiction.
No, I think this is a...
What does it look like?
If I had those tits. Do you guys see this?
It's horrifying. And holding a baby, too.
You are lactating,
probably.
Probably.
More than likely.
This is your nightmare from last night.
This is awesome.
Based on a true story.
I like that it's still based on a true story.
That part's still valid.
Yeah, even with my face.
Still true.
Still true.
All right, good job, Eric.
There should be like a shithead on the back
that we will reveal at the end of the show
don't say it now
that's a good one don't say it though
Missy
you're playing for Feathers
Feathers is back in action
who lost for you the last time Feathers
Josh Wolf
Josh Wolf lost for you that son of a bitch
it's not going to happen tonight
wait are you always Feathers?
I'm Feather.
Her name's Feather, but she uses Heathers and changes it to Feathers.
Oh, had I known that.
Last time I was Feather of the Bride.
Sure you were.
Oh, you change it up a little bit.
As long as you change it up, that's good.
That's why that Feather part, I always remember that.
And then Michael's got Justin Heron Weiss.
Justin Heron Weiss
Based on the novel by Thomas Pynchon
Music by Johnny Greenwood of Radiohead
Wow
What?
That's all the stuff it says on there
Because that's just the soundtrack album
Or is it the laser disc?
I think this is the original motion picture soundtrack
On vinyl
I used to do a Johnny Greenwood impersonation
from Radiohead.
I'm starting to remember what it went like.
It went something like this.
Oh, right.
It's visual.
It's only visual.
Oh, great.
So if you don't know what Johnny Greenwood looks like,
which I'm guessing none of you do,
you won't be able to judge how this came out.
He's on the back of the album, right?
Is he on the back of it?
No.
No, no.
I think it's just, I don't quite remember.
I think it's just this.
Oh, no.
Missy's allergic
to the feathers.
Maybe you just put it
down on the ground.
Was that also
your Axl Rose impersonation?
No, no, no.
My Axl Rose impersonation
is much more sinuous
than that.
Oh, wait.
The impression just happened?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm so sorry.
I couldn't stop it.
It's so beautiful.
I'm going to do that.
Okay.
Can we talk about the nightmare sauce here?
What?
It's just like, I don't know if it's like a peanut butter and chocolate thing
where two great things go great together.
I don't know if it's like a peanut butter and chocolate thing where two great things go great together. I don't know if it's...
I can't decide if I...
I'm repelled and attracted to it at the same time.
I don't know what's happening.
I don't know what's happening.
Thought we moved on from that name tag.
I'm never moving on.
Name that tagline.
I keep trying to drop their name tags on the floor
and they're not having it.
Drop yours, Michael.
Nice.
Just toss it.
Isn't the album, is it in there?
Is what in there?
The vinyl album.
No, there's no vinyl in there.
Oh, good.
Smart move.
Yeah, you knew I'd just toss it around.
Have a devil-may-care attitude.
All right, so we're going to play a series of games tonight,
and the winner of each game gets to go first in the next game
until the final game when a winner will be determined,
and all the prizes in the bag will go to the person that you were playing for.
Cool.
That's what I say.
Wow.
Right?
It's like a real thing's happening.
First game we're going to play tonight.
I'm very excited about this.
We're going to play Doing Lines with Jeff.
Jeff Tate is here.
Jeff Tate is here.
Jeff Tate is hanging out in Los Angeles.
He's got some professional obligations out here in California this week.
I was back there stressing what the cue was going to be.
I was like, I forgot to ask you when I come out.
It couldn't have been easier. It's time to do lines with Jeff oh great what is it now why would
you what makes you say this is a Fast and Furious hat it just seems like a
regular hat to me but it says it oh. Oh, I see. It's from the
movie The Fast and the Furious.
I thought you meant this hat was Fast and Furious.
That hat's got... Like it was
aerodynamically special or something.
And...
It's a grandpa hat.
It's got that grandpa latch thing
at the back. Will you do me a favor?
What do you need, man? Will you just say Hodor one time?
Hodor? Will you just say Hodor one time? Hodor?
Thank you.
Will you do that,
will you say,
but Dick,
with the blast shield down,
I can't see a thing.
How am I supposed
to rock and roll?
I still don't understand
what you're saying.
Oh, but Dick.
But Dick.
That's how you say it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But Dick, with the blast shield down
i can't see a thing how am i supposed to write down the blast shield oh the blast shield you
it's your show yeah yeah he's a variety he was on a show called viva variety now you say
it i said your thing your thing was the last field the blast shield then i can hardly see a thing but
i wouldn't character you want me to do i just wanted to make sure I had that line.
Yeah, yeah, Johnny Blue Jeans.
I've got to remember what the character's on there.
But Dick, with the blast shield down,
I can hardly see a thing.
Was that right?
Yeah, yeah.
Is that at all?
Yeah, that's my new ringtone.
Cool.
Oh, yeah, I've got to do the lines part now.
And the Dick is Dick Clark, right?
Yeah, Dick Clark, yeah. Right before he died And the dick is Dick Clark right? Yeah Dick Clark yeah
Right before he died
Wait is he still alive?
No
That was a long time before he died
Dick Clark is gone
Sorry to break that to some people
What are the rules?
Here's why the rules work
Jeff is gonna say a line from a motion picture
Which motion picture?
Hopefully a known motion picture.
I don't even know what he's going to do.
He's prepared to say a line.
If no one guesses the right movie, he'll say more lines from that movie.
I wrote it down.
Until somebody gets it.
But just guess into your microphone as often as you'd like.
We don't have to raise our hand.
And as quickly as you want.
Just yell out an answer whenever you're ready.
All right.
Yeah.
All right.
It's like I told my last wife.
Wait, you were already
saying the line?
It was like, no, build up.
You just roared right into it.
I already got the answer anyway.
It doesn't matter.
Oh, Clay already knows the answer?
I was talking through the whole thing.
I'll wait.
I'll wait.
I'll let you guys do it clean.
Give him a fighting chance.
I feel like I should have
the ladies' tea start
where I get one line first
because clay is you sounded like you know what i mean jeff you sounded like you were just talking
you got to be like that's a good act that's good acting though you know just i'm just you said it's
so natural just being it's like you're gonna you're gonna will you repeat the line
will you repeat the line just do it again
Will you repeat the line?
Just do it again.
Do it right this time.
Okay, I am about to do a line, everybody.
Full stop.
Was that it?
See, that's how good you are. Everything you say, we think it's the line.
The next thing I'm going to say is the line.
Oh, where do they say the next thing I'm going to say is'm gonna say as soon as i'm done with this sentence right here it's like i told
my last wife i never drive faster than i could see my wife you son of a you got to my wife
before i did all right what is it last wife what is it say it again it's like i told my last wife! What is it? Say it again. It's like I told my last wife. I never drive faster than I can see.
Fast and the Furious 7.
Besides that...
It's all in the reflexes.
Oh, this guy, yeah.
Big Trouble in Little China.
Big Trouble in Little China, is that it?
Yeah, that's it.
That's one of my favorite movies.
What other lines were you going to say
from Big Trouble in Little China if we couldn't figure it out
from that one?
I was going to say, I feel kind of invincible.
That's a line from there?
Yeah, yeah. It's my favorite line
of the movie.
You brought the house down when you said it here.
Six demon bag.
You know, six demon bag.
Yeah, he drinks that magic potion. What's in the flask, egg? Oh, you guys really know this shit. Six demon Bag. You know, Six Demon Bag. Yeah, he drinks that magic potion. What's in the flask, egg?
Oh, you guys really know this shit.
Six Demon Bag.
I was supposed to.
You told me to think up a bunch of lines from a movie.
So I did it.
And now as I'm doing it.
Yeah, but then one of the panelists knows as many lines without sorting through a little tiny book.
Well, he didn't come up with a backup in case the first one got...
He's only thinking about Big Trouble in Little China.
That's all you need to talk about.
I just said, tell me the other lines that you had from Big Trouble in Little China.
Thanks, Jeff.
Oh, bye.
That was it?
Is that it?
I feel bad.
That's it?
It's one movie?
What's that?
Big Trouble in Little China was the answer.
No, I understand, but that's the whole game.
That's the whole game, yeah.
And that's...
The dream is over.
Yeah, we got some more games.
But I mean, I was hanging out in the green room
for like 45 minutes before the show.
He was there, we were hanging out.
He had to take an Uber here.
He had to do research.
And that's it.
Do you want him to come back and just hang out?
No.
He's in the neighborhood.
He's a big fan of Galaxy Quest.
Yeah, who isn't, right?
If they had quoted Galaxy Quest,
would you have known it?
I'm sorry?
If they had quoted Galaxy Quest, would you have known it? If they had quoted Galaxy Quest, would you have known it? I'm sorry? If they had quoted Galaxy Quest,
would you have known it?
If they had quoted Galaxy Quest,
would you have known it?
I would have hoped.
I mean, you would have probably
known it before me.
Do you recognize English
when you hear it?
It depends.
You're one of the main crew
in Galaxy Quest.
Well, I was in one of the aliens. Yeah. Yeah. Like the main alien. You're one of the main crew in Galaxy Quest. Well, I was in one of the aliens.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like the main alien.
You were one of the main aliens.
Well, there really weren't that many female aliens.
It was kind of the only one.
In fact, I was only supposed to be in it for a small amount,
and then they realized they didn't have any other women
than Sigourney Weaver.
And they were like, oh, let's make a relationship.
And it was like one smile, one kiss, and like a handhold.
They slashed their own movie.
They shipped it.
That's right.
So let's get Jeff back out here.
He's such a fan.
He's such a fan.
And I even told him today, I said, you know,
you can talk to her about it if you want, about Galaxy Quest.
I was about to.
The whole thing fell apart right in the middle
of when he knew the movie.
I ran out of steam.
I'm sorry.
He knew it really fast.
Nobody saw that coming.
I wanted to do this one as a quote
from a movie. This is a line.
What's that from? That's from Galaxy movie. This is a line. What's that from?
It's from Galaxy Quest.
It's from Galaxy Quest.
But would you have
gotten it right away
if he did that?
Of course.
Yeah, see,
that's what I told him.
I watched it.
So I decided
to find something harder.
Yeah, you did.
You found Clay's
favorite movie.
How was I supposed
to know that was
Clay's favorite movie? It's like my second favorite John Clay's favorite movie. How was I supposed to know that was Clay's favorite movie?
It's like my second favorite John Carpenter movie.
Oh, this sounds like a fun game.
Oh, yeah.
I'm in.
I'm in.
Oh, number one has to be Halloween.
No.
Oh, shit.
Interesting twist.
Ghost of Mars.
No.
Come on.
It is one of the
Kurt Russell ones
I'll say that
The Thing
yeah The Thing
The Thing
John Carpenter's
The Thing
I mean there are a lot
to pick
I love all those movies
but like that
What's That Thing
that's from that movie
holy shit
the dog
yeah isn't there
a what the fuck
also when the little
crazy spider thing
flies out?
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
Clay loads every line from every movie.
That's all I do. I sit in front of the TV set
and I just cry and I watch movies.
No, I just cry and watch movies in front of the TV set
and that's all I do.
But why do you...
Why are you crying?
These are good movies.
Are you just so scared that the thing is gonna get him? These are good movies. I know.
Are you just so scared that the thing
is going to get them?
I'm so scared.
I am scared.
I know,
but that's a sad movie.
They all,
they don't make it.
None of them make it
really at the end.
There's no,
there's no,
it's like a,
it's like a 38-year-old movie.
It's a little old,
yeah,
I'd be more worried
about spoilers.
But,
so Jeff,
just,
you want to just hang out over there
while we play the rest of the games?
Yeah, this sounds fun.
Hopefully he keeps telling us
what his second favorite movie is of any genre
and then we can guess.
You can crest in my beard.
Build number one.
Yeah, I don't know if I want a lot of side games,
but you know.
Hodor.
We'll see what happens.
What do you think my William Black's favorite movie is?
My favorite what? Movie?
Do you have a favorite movie?
When people ask me that, I say no.
I actually do.
Say it again.
Hodor?
Yeah.
It is pretty good.
Yeah, you can't come in through the regular entrance.
You have to come through the whole door.
Oh, like when Snoop says he slipped his hoe
at 44, which he got in the back door?
Is that the whole door?
Because they're going to know if Snoop Dogg
Yeah, something like that, Jeff.
Let's keep this on movies.
I mean, he paints such a visual picture
that I felt like it was a movie.
It's like the rap equivalent of Piano Man.
Are we trying to guess Michael Ian Black's favorite movie?
Didn't seem like that was the game.
He just asked if I had one, and I said yes.
Yeah, it could be his secret, like voting.
Well, you know, every actor, they say,
should have a secret. No, I, they say, should have a secret.
No, I think you're supposed to have a secret.
Your character's supposed to have a secret.
I don't think you personally are supposed
to just have a secret.
Oh.
Oh.
And I can tell everybody about that time
I molested that kid.
Finally.
Every single movie Michael is in,
he's having the same secret.
My favorite movie.
The whole time.
Can't believe no one knows my favorite movie's body heat.
That's what he's thinking all the time.
Let's play Whose Tagline Is It Anyway?
All right.
Clay gets to go first.
I'll say a tagline from a movie to Clay,
and if he can't guess what movie it is correctly,
then I'll move over to Missy and then to Michael,
and we'll get a new one.
Percentage-wise, Clay.
Percentage-wise.
How many movies have you seen?
I've seen...
Of, like, every movie ever made.
I've seen, like every movie ever made? I've seen like 32%.
No way.
That sounds low.
That sounds low to me.
That sounds low.
Of all the films?
I think 80.
Of all the movies.
I think 80.
80%?
I wish.
There are levels of movies.
Right.
So maybe
Really sometimes
they're in Snoop songs.
Does that count?
I don't like that you found a stool.
I'll stand.
I wasn't sure what the rules were.
I invited you to stand there the whole show.
Even phrased it that way.
Don't try sitting on that speaker either.
Honestly, I remember the phrasing was hang out.
You want to hang out over there?
All right.
And that's more of a dealer's choice.
Okay, go hang out on that stool then.
So if either of you think you know it, just give me like a look
so I can be magnanimous and pass it off.
Do you hear the arrogance in that?
Do you hear the arrogance?
That's all I have, Michael.
That's all I have.
That's why I asked how many.
You said 32.
I think you're lowballing us. All have, Michael. That's all I have. That's why I asked how many. You said 32. I think you're lowballing us.
All right, Clay.
Hit me.
What percentage of people do you think are named Clay?
Seems like kind of a popular name.
I don't have to add any ones or anything in front of it. I don't have to add any ones or anything on social media.
Like males
or just people?
I mean, if your last name is Pigeon,
you have to go for it, right?
Just don't give me any taglines
from Clay Pigeon.
What movie has a tagline, Clay?
True love isn't a sprint, it's got movies. What movie has a tagline, Clay? True Love isn't a sprint.
It's a marathon.
It's probably a movie about a race.
Okay, so it's a movie about
either white people or black people.
That's not the movie Race.
I know this thing.
I feel like it's a Fairleigh Brothers movie,
but I can't remember.
I'm going to pass.
All right.
I bet he knows it.
No, for real.
He doesn't.
Can you repeat
the tagline, please?
Yeah.
True love isn't a sprint.
It's a marathon.
Aaron Brockovich.
Oh, that's a good guess
that movie was about
true love
Michael do you have any idea
nope
you have as a clue
sure
I'll give you
I'll give you a couple of clues
and the title
it's
it's a movie that
Michael Ian Black
was involved with.
Oh, I wrote it?
Did I write it?
You wrote it.
It's called Run, Fat Boy, Run.
I was right.
It is about a race.
Whoops.
Yeah, that's embarrassing.
I thought it was Marathon Man, so... We all make mistakes.
The circle gets a square.
I generally don't pick taglines
where the last word is the first word of the title,
but it could happen to you.
It says more about me than you, Doug.
I said you could sit down.
Thank you.
Did you think I would know that?
I think these things go 50-50
because there's no real reason for you to sit around
memorizing taglines for things you're involved with.
So it's a fun game to play with people
and use the movies they've done.
I don't feel so bad then.
No.
It happens quite frequently
that the people don't recognize the taglines.
Because also, the taglines are terrible sometimes.
That was.
That wasn't as clever as the script, for sure.
Thanks, Doug.
Did you see it?
Of course I did.
I was at the Los Angeles premiere at the Arclight.
Yeah, I got my picture took on the red carpet.
It was fun.
Yeah, I was there.
Yeah. That was fun. Simon, I was there. Yeah.
That was fun.
Simon Pegg is the sweetheart.
I barely met him.
What?
I barely met him.
Really?
Hung out in London for a week when they were shooting.
I barely met him.
He was a little aloof.
Was he?
Yeah, I mean, he was nice.
Really?
And his voice is much deeper.
His voice is much deeper when he talks, which I thought was really weird.
Because when I think of Simon Pegg,
I think of his register sort of being somewhere in here,
and then when he talks, he's like,
hey, man, how you doing?
But with a British accent.
He has a secret.
He does.
Every character, same secret.
Oh, man. His secret every time has been I'm the junk merchant in Star Wars Force
Awakens all right
Was that you?
Yeah.
That was really good.
Oh, thank you.
So I'm going to give Clay the first chance here at this next one,
and then he'll pass to the people who have been in these movies.
An adventure as big as life itself.
Missy knows this one.
Take it.
Oh, is it Jumanji?
I'm guessing now.
Jumanji is a good guess.
It's an adventure as big as life itself.
I feel like I know that tagline, but I can't.
Yeah, right?
Missy, use your microphone voice.
Sorry.
I think it's one of your movies.
Is it possibly Big Fish?
That is Big Fish!
But I thought you weren't supposed to have a word in the title.
That's my way of deceiving everyone.
Oh, boy.
Which is kind of a sequel to Jumanji, right?
Mm-hmm.
I'm going Thursday to play the gym teacher and the new Jumanji
Your character name they're making a name for me
Did she have a secret of course she has a secret I will be playing as if I were Michael Ian Black
Thanks, I'll ask if my name can be Mikkel.
Denise Mikkel.
Do you get killed by an animal in it?
Maybe.
I guess you'll have to wait and see.
It's only one day.
First Jumanji doesn't have enough of a death count.
What's one of your lines i just died
i can't believe i came all the way out here to die
you like by far my best all right kids hit the showers you want those
no clay where do you shoot? Atlanta. Oh.
They shot everything else in Hawaii, but...
I know, right?
Ugh.
Hawaii of the East.
That's what they call it.
They shouldn't even tell you
they shot in Hawaii.
That's just, like, mean.
They're not bringing you
out to Hawaii.
They just tell you.
Don't even tell you that.
You don't need that.
Do you have an agent?
Is that how...
No, I just was walking
down the street.
That's cool.
I did go to the audition like two months ago,
and it was like me and every other person
you could imagine on a New York subway car.
I mean, just like, nope, different races, genders, ages.
That's a cool story.
Sizes.
They were seeing everybody for that,
but they went with you.
They went with this guy.
Alright, starting with Michael.
What movie has the tagline
Best. Night. Ever.
Period.
Was I in this movie?
Well, have you ever had
the best period night?
Is this the one that Topher Grace is in? Period. Is this the one that Topher Grace is in?
Period.
Is this the one that Topher Grace is in?
I don't know.
Oh, I know what movie you're talking about.
I can't remember the name of that movie.
All right, Clay.
I don't think it's that movie, but that movie's named after a song.
And since I don't know the answer, I will guess the one that you were trying to go,
which I don't think it is.
That was like Take Me Home Tonight?
That's correct.
Oh, really? What?
That's the actual...
I am in that movie.
I am in that movie.
I was like part of that on plane.
All right, Missy.
I don't know the names of movies
that I've seen.
You knew what movie it was. I should know the name of it, right?
You literally knew what the movie was
I've only been in like three movies, too
That's the most embarrassing thing
What's the name of my movie?
What?
What's the name of my movie?
Your movie?
Yeah
The one that I'm in?
Yeah
Fucking, you know
Slash?
Okay, Misty, you ready?
He prepared them for everything
except the outside world.
Oh.
Well, that's not Captain Fantastic, is it?
It is.
Captain Fantastic.
So trouncing me now. Captain Fantastic. Now... You're trouncing me now.
Captain Fantastic.
Did you ever...
Do you have a firm grasp on why the movie's called...
It's a really good movie,
but why is it called Captain Fantastic?
I think, you know, the filmmaker...
The filmmaker... Whose name is we can we dub me that was directed by Matt
Ross Ross yeah he plays he plays the bad guy on Silicon Valley yeah but he grew
up in a bit of a commune situation. Right, like homeschooled weirdos.
Yeah, I think a homeschooled weirdo situation,
but with several other children
from several other homeschooled weirdo families altogether.
And I think there was something along those lines of...
I mean, and so much of what they learned was
they were actually brilliant kids, obviously.
But they look up to their father like he's a superhero?
Is that supposed to be why it's called that the way I think it's kind of like a you know so much
of they've read a lot of literature so it has to sort of a literary kind of you know you could just
say I don't know you could just say I don't know why it's called Captain Fantastic that also would
have been acceptable answer I don't know why was it Michael's impressed you know the title at all. Thank you. No, but I...
Is it okay if I call you Michael?
I apologize.
I was out of line.
I think because that was all they needed was him.
Sit on the speaker, Jeff.
Thank you.
I can't see the clock.
All they had was him, and he was this idea,
and maybe then they went into the real world.
All right.
Fuck you.
Well, I think everybody's doing great.
We'll start with
Michael on this
next one for a
chance to tie it
up.
To get a point?
Yeah.
You'll get on the
board with this
one.
I have a good
feeling about you
for this one.
High?
Okay, I got it.
I got it.
I got it.
I heard high.
I got it.
That's all you
needed?
No, it's wet
hot.
Wet hot American
summer?
Yeah, yeah.
That's correct.
He's not fucking around anymore.
What's the rest of it?
High Times Hard Body Soft Rock.
Yeah.
I had the poster hanging up in my office.
That's why I know that one.
Why do you think that title...
Wet Hot American Summer?
Yeah.
Because it's about a wet, hot American summer.
Whatever.
Oh, yeah. summer. Whatever. Oh yeah.
Michael and Bradley Cooper
provided the two of the parts.
And the wet.
The wet and hot parts.
And the American.
Oh yeah, that's true.
You were three-fourths of that title.
And the sniper.
Wet Hot American Sniper.
I would see that movie.
Alright, Clay, for the
win, for the win
in this game, you get to go first.
What movie has the tagline
A True Underdog Story?
It's Dodgeball, right?
What's the full title?
Oh, fuck me. Dodgeball uh true underdog story
that's correct really oh i'm probably like turning my book report there i hadn't done
that movie is one of my if it's on cable i'm in until it's over movies i love that movie
justin long's in that and. Justin Long's in that.
And Justin Long's in Galaxy Quest. And do you know how
I knew what that was? Who was in Ed
with me?
Because Missy was in it. That's the only
reason I knew.
Because you were in it.
I care.
All three of you love to...
We had a sincere moment here.
You love to keep your microphones down in your laps.
Toss them up there at the last second.
This is how I karaoke.
I just want, just in case there's something to record.
This is the karaoke trick,
because sometimes they have it where the music's too loud,
and you can't get over it, and you have to cup it like that.
Yeah, cup it.
To decide our winner tonight,
we're going to play a game called Last Man Stanton.
I'm ready.
The only way how this works is we get a name from,
a suggestion from the audience of a name of an actor or actress
and take turns, I like to play along take
turns saying names of movies that person's been in if you can't think of
one you're out but new wrinkle the nametag you chose that person's your
lifeline you can go to that person once for help if you need it. Once. And this is going to be a last
mash
Stanton version of the game
where we're going to get two names
that mash up nicely together
and you can name movies featuring
either of those two people.
And
like I said, I don't know what it's going to be
yet. I picked somebody out of
Twitter who says they've got the perfect
suggestion.
Someone who goes by the name
Reed Hartley underscore.
Oh, right up in the front row.
They often are.
Right, Jeff?
They're like right up front all the time.
Or somebody, we pick their name tag.
It's always the most you know
enthusiastic and deserving people
you didn't have to get here too early
to be in the front though here though right
like 10 minutes
before the show the mash thing is like a mashup
it's not like Alan Alda movies
yeah I'd like Clay I'd like
you to name Alan Alda movies go
Liberty
Liberty right out of the gate?
Same time next year.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck. Now I'm fucked.
MASH.
No.
He's not in the movie, dummy.
What was the political thriller he's in?
We're not really going to do that right now.
He's joking around.
Although there's been a shit ton of movies.
But no, we're gonna do
this gentleman's suggestion.
Reed is your name?
Where are you from, Reed?
Northern California.
Yosemite, so you're visiting us down here?
No, I live here now.
Oh, you live here now, okay.
What do you like better?
What?
Yeah, you got sick of all the geysers?
All your stolen pic-a-nick baskets?
What's your suggestion for your mashup of two names for us to play whoa Oscar
Isaac Galifianakis so the films of Oscar Isaac very talented actor with maybe
seven or eight titles under his belt and
Jesus.
Go back to you.
I'm kidding.
Zachy G.
I'm going to play as well.
Clay, you won that last game, so you go first.
I can see any movie either of the two of them are in, right?
Either of those two.
I don't believe there's any crossover movies in which they both appear. I'm going to start deep track.
I'm going to go Visionaries for Zach Galifianakis.
Visionaries.
Okay. I think that's the wrong title. I'm going to go Visionaries for Zach Galifianakis. Visionaries. Okay.
I think that's the wrong title.
That's the right title.
Okay.
I gave you guys the easy ones.
I didn't even take one of the easy ones.
You know I'm going to.
Oh, yeah.
I'm all about the easy ones.
I was being nice.
No, you were being generous.
I get generous.
Yeah, good for you.
You're going to lose.
Let's see.
Any Zach or
Isaac?
I'm going to say
Visioneers.
Oh, shit.
Oh, shit.
That is right. Missy. Oh shit. That is right.
Missy.
Damn it.
Put you in your place.
Clay is out.
Out.
Oh no.
I was in Visioneers.
Oh no shit.
Oh my God.
I actually did not even.
I never saw it.
It's all right.
I'm sorry. This is the finest moment of my life. If you were on the poster,... I never saw it. It's all right. I'm sorry.
This is the finest moment of my life.
If you were on the poster, I would have seen it.
That sounded right to me,
because I don't think I've ever seen the movie,
but that sounded right.
I've never even heard of it.
That was a pretty solid burn,
the way you sat there and thought about it for a long time.
I was so sure I heard it right.
Sounds to me like she doesn't want to be in Slash 2, Clay.
She just wants to slash you.
Okay, Michael, it's your turn.
It's just the three of us now.
The Hangover Part 2.
Oh, I like it.
I'm going to say The Hangover.
Oh, I didn't think of that one.
Oh, man.
Missy?
Wait a second.
Are you serious? I'm serious.
He just said The Hangover Part 2.
I said The Hangover. Oh, The Hangover
Part 3. There you go.
I forgot there was one.
Thank you, Clay. I think there's just
two and three, no part
in there, but that's cool.
That new Star Wars movie.
That's really what you call it?
The Force Awakens.
Yes.
Correct.
I'm going to go with, it was just out in theaters, Keeping Up with the Joneses.
Oh.
Mm-hmm.
I'm so...
I can't remember anything.
You must have worked with
Zach more than once.
I think I only worked with him once.
I guess...
I'm so embarrassed, Heather.
If you were in Out Cold, fuck.
Oh, Out Cold.
Wait, is that really how this is going to go down?
What did I do?
Come on.
That's a kind of cheating.
Because she could have gone to her lifeline.
I'll go to her next time.
Okay.
Michael?
That Llewellyn Davis movie?
Isn't he in that?
Yeah, what's it called?
Something about Llewellyn Davis.
Inside Llewellyn Davis?
I wanted to say inside,
but I thought that can't be right.
Well, if I... But that seems fair that you take it.
If I were a user, then she would have corrected you, and then...
Yeah, so what are you going with?
Inside Llewellyn Davis.
Okay.
Is that right?
You guys, your competitive spirit is really...
It's really exciting.
Don't forget, you still have your lifelines if you want to use your lifeline.
So I'm going to go with
Masterminds. Is that what it was called?
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Because what was the one with Will Ferrell
where he was a mastermind character?
Megamind.
Megamind. There you go.
There's that Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis
political movie. It's Missy's turn.
I know, but she's not going to know the name of it either.
I really can't remember.
We can go to your lifeline, Missy.
I'm so embarrassed that I have to come this early.
Oh, that's alright. But I'm here.
It's alright. You can always come back.
I don't know who Oscar Isaac is. I don't either.
Who's Oscar Isaac?
The science fiction movie that he's in
is really good.
He stops telling answers. That's in that was really good. What are you, stop telling him answers.
That's to her as an answer.
Oh yeah, that movie's really good.
Birdman.
What?
Birdman.
Oh no.
Oh boy.
Oh no.
Wait, what?
Oh, you walked into that barbed wire.
You are all entangled up.
Is that not?
Is that me or her?
He wasn't in Birdman?
He is in Birdman.
But that's not the full title.
Oh.
Birdman is not the full title?
That's correct.
Birdman Electric Boogaloo.
Birdman Electric Boogaloo. I'm going to go with Birdman Electric Boogaloo.
Every time.
Whether or not...
I thought it was an alternate title with Birdman.
I didn't think it was...
No, it's one of those oars.
I know. To me, that's an alternate title. birdman i didn't think it was no it's one of those oars but i know that to me that's an alternate title oh so it does it doesn't you don't want it to count i to me if it says or then you're providing the option of it sounds to me like
you're just um experiencing the uh unexpected virtue of ignorance I know who he is now.
In the movie?
Isaac?
Yeah.
Oscar Isaac?
Now I know who he is.
He's not in Birdman.
Well, that's going to help you
to come up with more answers.
Can I say another one?
Yeah, you're still in it, right?
She is.
Did I say mine yet?
No.
You're going to skip me?
Wait, when did I say...
Whose turn was it?
It was Hershey.
You guys were fist fighting
your way through that Birdman.
How about X Machina?
No, you got Birdman.
You got Birdman right.
Now it's Michael's turn. X Machina.
You got Birdman. I saved your ass with Birdman too.
I'm going to go with
Sucker Punch.
What's that?
Who's in that?
Sucker Punch was Zack Snyder directed it
and Isaac Oscar was the
bad guy, Oscar Isaac.
And
Jon Hamm was in it briefly as well.
It was like a big video game movie kind of thing.
He just gave you a huge clue for another one.
That's not that first person one, right?
No.
Did that come out?
Hardcore Harry?
Hardcore Harry came out.
I enjoyed that a great deal.
I thought it was really fun.
It came out?
Yeah.
Yeah, it's been out a while.
Did it bomb?
Yeah, I guess so.
No, it's the biggest movie of the year.
That's why you had no recollection of its release.
Look, Dory from Finding Dory doesn't remember.
She's got a brain the size of a fish's brain.
But the other fish remember shit.
Why is she so stupid?
Because they wrote her like that.
Wait, no. Why aren't they trying to Because they wrote her like that. Wait.
Why aren't they trying to raise money?
It's not because she's a girl.
There's got to be other fish
that are like her that are boys that
have a short term memory.
Your turn.
I don't know what's happening.
I love it.
He already said Star Wars.
It's kind of a funny it. I said Star Wars. He already said Star Wars. He gave you a real big clue in the last one.
It's kind of a funny story how I got here tonight.
Why?
What's so funny about it?
Tell us all about it.
We're in the middle of a game, but I'd love to hear the funny story.
Wait, I feel like there's a clue embedded in here somewhere.
It's kind of a funny story how I got here.
Oh, a funny thing happened on the way to the floor?
The funny thing happened on the way to the floor?
Who are you guessing that for?
Which one of them was in that?
Can choose my life
Whose turn is it?
It's a Missy's turn
That was a legitimate guess
A funny thing happened on the way to the forum
Oh cause he said
Something happened
It was kind of a funny story
I don't remember there being a remake,
but.
Is that your guess?
What did I say?
Yeah.
I know what he said
that on the way here
something happened.
Yeah.
It's kind of a.
No, I get it.
It's a clue.
It's an
metaphor of sorts.
No, it's straight up
all the words you need.
Something happened on the way here.
A funny...
Tomorrow I'm going to be telling people
it's kind of a funny story how
Missy refused to say the words
it's kind of a funny story.
It's kind of a funny story?
Yes.
It's kind of a funny story Yes It's kind of a funny story
Wow
I'm gonna take the kind out
I love that movie
Starring Morgan Murphy
And
Oh what's that girl you like Jeff
Oh boy
This is some dangerous ground
Into a microphone
You could like a girl that's underage Just enjoy her for being a nice young lady Morgan Murphy. This is some dangerous ground into a microphone.
You could like a girl that's underage.
Just enjoy her for being a nice young lady.
Oh, hang on.
What is this movie?
I've never seen the movie.
Are you talking about that girl that was on Parks and Rec?
No.
Emma Roberts.
Oh, Emma Roberts.
Yeah.
She makes good billboards.
Yeah.
She's.
Whatever.
I don't know what she does. She's in that movie. Michael, it Roberts, yeah. She makes good billboards. Yeah, she's... Whatever, I don't know what she does.
She's in that movie.
Michael, it's your turn.
Wait, Morgan Murphy stars in the movie?
No, she just has a couple lines.
Like, she's like, oh, that's a very nice beaver.
And then you pan down and the handicapped guy's drawing a beaver.
Really? So they stole the joke from Top Secret.
Yeah, basically.
Oh.
Justin, what's a...
No, a police squad. Oh, no, I thought you were right. Nice beaver. Yeah, basically. Oh. Justin, what's a... No, uh, uh,
Police Squad.
Oh.
Oh, no, I think that's right.
Nice beavers.
Yeah, yeah, you're right.
Thanks, I just had it stuffed.
Wait, I gotta go to my lifeline.
I don't know any more movies.
Okay, Michael.
There's a big one here
that I'm thinking of.
I have one Zack
and one Oscar Isaac.
Oh, which one would you like?
This guy's a show-off.
Doesn't really matter
because I'm out
after this round anyway,
so you can just pick.
Don't pick the Oscar Isaac one
because that one's really easy.
Because you might hear something that makes you think of
another answer.
We never know what I might
end up saying. Yeah, that's true.
Jeff likes to help. My advice is don't take
the Oscar Isaac one. I'll take the
Zach one.
He's going with Bubble Boy.
Oh yeah, that's a good one.
Yeah, Zach was an attendant in a toll booth,
and Bubble Boy walks up,
and Zach refuses to give him service for some reason.
I forget why.
I lost a bet once.
I like Bubble Boy.
I had to watch it nine times in a row.
Oh, that's not...
I don't like it like that.
I lost a bet.
No, no, I didn't do it because I wanted to.
I lost a bet.
Oh, I know, but I don't like it like that.
Is it about a boy in a bubble?
Yeah, it's like Jake Gyllenhaal.
He's like a bubble boy.
Sounds stupid.
It's my turn.
Is it your Oscar Isaac that is unlikely for anyone to come up with?
It's a little obscure. I was going to say it.
There's like a huge movie, too.
I was guessing. I was going to say it I was guessing
I was in the middle of guessing
Ready?
A Most Violent Year
I knew that was it
That's a good movie
There's a really big
from this year movie
Alright
Thanks for coming by
Chloe
Changed Clay to Clue
X-Men apocalypse look at her
go I'm sorry X-Men apocalypse I realize that it was my mind yeah I think you
didn't have a question Michaels looking at Jeff Jeff's like an
expectant mother over there.
But when will he
give birth?
When will Jeff give birth?
I'll give you a hint.
No, that's plenty of hints.
I heard that was the hint. I understand that.
When will Jeff give birth
was the hint.
When will that give birth was the hint. When will that
moment come?
Like if you had to narrow
it down. If you had to be specific.
Incorrect. Yeah, good.
My turn. Due date.
Oh, due date. that's what I meant
but Labor Day
was kind of a clever answer
yeah no
it was spectacular
but that movie
just stars
James Brolin
and Kate Winslet
in a pie
Labor Day?
Labor Day yeah
I thought Labor Day
was the one with Amy Adams
and they had to go to
no that was Leap Year
that was Leap Year
there you go Leap Year
thanks Jeff
I'm gonna call it right now No, that was leap year. There you go, leap year. Thanks, Jeff.
I'm going to call it right now.
Missy's the winner.
Probably because of that epic last round.
Guys,
I couldn't have done it without my good friend Feather.
Oh, I thought of another Zach.
Heartbreakers.
Oh, geez.
He's been in some memorable movies.
What do you guys got?
Into the Wild.
Zach shows up in that for a few minutes.
The Campaign.
Drive has got Oscar Isaac.
The Campaign is the name of that movie.
We were talking about that.
I forgot that one.
The Campaign.
All right, Feather, you get all the prizes.
Come grab them.
Since there's
two signed to the same DVD in there...
Congrats, Feather. Very good.
What's that, Clay?
Oh, I was going to say, since there's two signed
to the same slash DVD in there,
maybe somebody get an extra one?
I don't know. No, I kept one
for myself. Thank you very much.
There you go. Even better.
Justin didn't write anything on his.
He was supposed to, right?
Oh, there's no shithead on here, Justin?
There is a shithead on Feathers.
There is a shithead on Feathers.
But on the reverse of his name, it does say what he ate for dinner.
Hey, Feather, afterwards I'll tell you how to redeem the tickets that are in there.
So do you have a shithead, Justin?
Where'd your sign
go, Clay? I got, I think
Missy stole it.
What? Oh, I've got it.
I've got it.
Where did it go, Clay? Is it in my
hand, maybe?
I thought I just had my notes in my hand,
but I had it all the while.
Oh, that's a good one.
But Justin, do you have a shithead you'd like me to say?
The full title of Birdman.
Can you pass this back to him, please?
Thank you very much.

It's a movie that stars
Nicolas Cage, but he said he didn't want to
do it, but they were, they could
you know, use him. They could have
someone play him. And so they have six people in the movie
in every scene playing Nicolas Cage.
And I play Nicolas Cage in one of the scenes.
Oh my god, it's like that.
Yeah.
When you play Nicolas Cage, do you do a Nicolas Cage impersonation?
Or do you do...
I guess you'll have to watch it to see.
