Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds with 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies! Hey, hey, hey, hey everybody! name is Doug, and I love movies. That's what happens. Some people just go, woo, and it covers up the people doing the thing that happens every show except in L.A.

Starting point is 00:00:55 Hot crowd tonight here, and someone in this audience, some lucky individual, is going to win this. I put it on the table to show it off while you were being seated this evening. Some of you have probably been looking at that thing like, wow, I wonder if that's a prize or something. Or did somebody come to a show here earlier and leave it? No, I brought it. and leave it. No, I brought it and this is a Roku Ultra
Starting point is 00:01:25 HD 4K HDR LMNOP. This thing is fucking god at all. If you're a person that wants a Roku and doesn't have a Roku, it's perfect for your needs. And like
Starting point is 00:01:42 I said, it's Ultra for some reason. It's got like a remote control. It does what it wants, which is an interesting feature. Like it'll just change the channel when it's tired of what you're watching. So anyway, that is going to be won by somebody tonight. And in addition to that,
Starting point is 00:01:59 I'll get your name, put you on the guest list. Two free tickets to see the next Benson movie, Interruption, at... Yeah, it's a good prize. I'm happy you like that more than the Roku Ultra. Like, fuck that Roku Ultra, but two tickets to go

Yeah, I know to stop. Everybody has to just constantly be reaching down all the way to the floor to get their water bottle. But I'm excited that we have three non-drinking guests.

Okay, so who am i on next away i still have to talk to dan for a second oh happy new year happy new year how's it going it's an exciting start yeah you having a good time so far i am i am it's my first time in la in six years jan 16 so you haven't been here since... The last time I was here was getting dug high, and I was a little fat boy. You got high with me. You were a much heavier man. Yeah, it was fun times.
Starting point is 00:05:32 And then you left my side, and you got away from me. It was hard. The handcuffs were hard to get off. Also lost the weight, but remaining a stoner, which that deserves the most applause. Thank you, yes. Because that's really, that's tough.
Starting point is 00:05:48 You have to maintain your integrity like that. Yeah, but you did it, and congratulations, and thanks for being here. Thank you for having me. You know, we're friends, and we talk, but I feel like you know movies. Do you feel like you're a movie trivia guy? Not at all, but I'm excited to be here. Yeah, there you go. that's all we count that's all we like care about you either have to know movies or you know liking them is good too but know them or just have you know have fun you know as long
Starting point is 00:06:17 as you're doing one of those things then it's a the game show runs smoothly uh also joining us thanks dan is uh now i to work out the alphabet. I didn't think of it through very well. But like I said, he lives here. Give it up, everybody, for Greg Proops. Thank you, Doug. Thank you for having me in a place where there's nowhere to put your drink. I'd just like to point out this chair.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Oh, yeah, the wobbly chair. It's all set up so you never get comfortable. This is some rickety-ass shit, ladies and gentlemen. It's nice to be here on Hee Haw. It's like everything here wobbles. It's like, did you feel that? Did you feel that? It's like a little timbreler going on. A that? It's like a little temblor going on.
Starting point is 00:07:06 A little earthquake. Yeah, a little earthquake. Oh, shit. Seriously, do you feel it? Yeah. No, no. Right? I just feel that.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Have you experienced an earthquake since you got here, Dan? No, but I am excited. Did you experience any when you lived here? What? Back six years ago? I've never been in an earthquake. Okay, good for you. Congratulations. Greg was in Candlestick Park
Starting point is 00:07:27 during one. No, I was on my way to Candlestick Park. You were watching the game? Oh, you were on your way to it? Really? Yeah, and I was driving a 1975 Buick Deuce and a Quarter, which was 24 feet long and 8 feet wide.
Starting point is 00:07:43 And it started to bounce up and down. I was with my friend Reed. We were going to get beer to go watch the game. And it started bouncing wildly. And the car in front of us started bouncing wildly. And the telephone line started swinging. This is the Loma Prieta quake. You guys are like, it wasn't the 1906 quake, okay?
Starting point is 00:08:00 You fucking cocks. I'm not that old. And I said to my friend, can you believe this car has four flat tires? I swear to you. I was in denial. And he went, like I was a mental patient,
Starting point is 00:08:14 why don't you pull over, Greg? So he pulled over and the car bounced for, it was a 55 second, 58 second quick. It was long. If you've ever been in one, and one day you will, the short ones are like, what? But the long ones are like, oh no.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Because a minute is plenty of time. Yeah, like why isn't this stopping? Right? And then we went to- It's like a car alarm. Like you go, oh, maybe a car really is being stolen. This is why I love San Francisco though. The people that were at the park,
Starting point is 00:08:42 you could see, Will Durst was outside and he said you saw the car park go like this right just a rolling wave in all the cars and every single car alarm this is the late 80s every single car alarm went off and then inside the place shook for a minute and when it stopped because of san francisco everybody went yay play ball and of course all the players are as you know baseball players by and large not all of them tend to be you know trump voting hillb by and large, not all of them, tend to be, you know, Trump voting hillbilly, you know, cousin fuckers. And so they were all on the field like, oh, God, you know, the world came to an end. It was the epiphany or whatever.
Starting point is 00:09:12 And then, of course, it wasn't. But they postponed the game for two weeks and then the Giants lost anyway. So but there's a happy ending, not to that story, but to other stories. And yeah, there's a lot of that's why we're here. That's a good point. We do love a movie with a happy ending. Also joining us, oh, Happy New Year, Greg. Happy New Year, Doug.
Starting point is 00:09:34 And Merry Christmas as well. No! War on Christmas! Next year we're going to meet under the missile dope. Where we don't kiss, but we do a power hitter to each other. That's so sweet. Oh, I like that. That is a nice twist
Starting point is 00:09:50 on an old favorite. Yeah. Speaking of favorites, another... Speaking of segues. Another, yeah. Another comedian I enjoy very much
Starting point is 00:10:03 from New York City. It's Natalie Cuomo. Natalie. Hey, Doug. Hi. That's a pretty pumped up intro for your laid back demeanor. Hey, Doug. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:10:20 She's really bringing it. Oh, Happy New Year. Happy New Year. I'm so happy to be here. That's so nice that. Oh, Happy New Year. Happy New Year. I'm so happy to be here. That's so nice that you're all very pleasant return of Happy New Year because I'm trying to push it this year. I'm going to see how long I could say it to people before they start to be like, dude, it's March or whatever.
Starting point is 00:10:35 I already kind of feel like when I walk away from conversations and I say Happy New Year, people are giving me a weird face. They're already like, yeah, take down the tree already. Well, the tree should be down for sure no it's everything's more everything's more and more delayed you know like and uh it's it's weird like the emmys were on last night and i swear to god they were giving emmys to shows that ended a year and a half ago you know like better call saul that was on two years ago right that it ended? And anyway. Is that chair too wobbly for you, Greg? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:11:07 It's fantastic. I feel like I'm in a Japanese horror movie from the 50s and that Tokyo's about to go down and that Rodin is on my dick. Eminently. I would love another one if there is any other chairs in there.
Starting point is 00:11:22 Let's see if this one's better. There's a bunch of them at the bar if we can get. Oh, look at this. This one is seriously. Gus flying in with the new chair. Thank you so much. See, that's the professionalism of the improv. They'll give you a shitty chair to start with, but when you need a better one, they'll get it for you.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Greg, what would you do if this chair had a wobble as well? Oh, I don't think it does. But thank you for asking because I'm an improviser. Yes, what would you do if this chair had a wobble as well? Oh, I don't think it does. But thank you for asking because I'm an improviser. Yes, and I would continue whining in an extraordinarily humorous way. It's much better. And thank you.
Starting point is 00:11:58 That'll be all. You know, I demand solid furniture when I perform, and I think that's been a hallmark of my career over the last 17 decades. Really? You're kind of known for that. That's probably why you're mostly just standing there. Well, that's it. They never bring you the right furniture.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Yeah. I started during the Louis Cons, and, of course, we had that furniture then. And then there was the Chippendale period. You know, then we did Bauhaus and Minimalist super uncomfortable but not wobbly and then now here we are with the 1985 Coke dealer stools that the
Starting point is 00:12:33 improv has managed to whip in here this movie this stool makes me want to watch Turner and Hooch that's the year it's from I get it now. I just thought you were like just relying on the word Hooch
Starting point is 00:12:49 being so funny. Because it is. It always will be. Thank you to all three of you for being here and letting me say Happy New Year and drinking your waters
Starting point is 00:13:00 from off the floor. And before we play some games tonight, because we are before we play some games tonight, because we are going to play some games and somebody is going to walk out of here with this beautiful Roku Ultra. So regular Roku doesn't cut it? If you have regular Roku, just fucking throw it out.
Starting point is 00:13:23 Right. Get rid of it now. And then just save up for regular Roku, just fucking throw it out. Right. Like, get rid of it now. Yeah. And then just save up for Ultra Roku, because the things it does for you, it's insane. Because I have a razor, you know, a shaving razor. Yeah. And I believe on the package it says it's an Ultra. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:40 And I was just wondering if, like, that was something that was designated by the Federal Department of Administration. Somebody. I think it's a word you could use about anything and no one can pin you down on it. Like, we'll prove it's ultra. Okay. Because what does ultra even mean? He's an ultra runner. I am an ultra runner.
Starting point is 00:13:59 That's the official term for your kind of running? That is the official term. What does ultra running mean? Any distance that's longer than a marathon. Ultra. It's a marathon plus. It starts at 36 miles and three quarters. It starts at 31 and a half.
Starting point is 00:14:15 But a marathon, isn't it 26 miles and some change? It would be weird to do them. So it's ultra running. They couldn't just call it long distance running. Yeah it's ultra running. They couldn't just call it long distance. Long, long distance. Extra long distance.
Starting point is 00:14:30 More running. Running plus. I'm going to pitch Roku running instead. Right? I like it. You run more than 30 miles at one time? Yes. Well, no wonder you haven't gained any weight.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Well, that's why I still want to eat the way that I did, and I found the loophole just running. Just run like a mad person. That's fantastic. Yeah. So you really do still eat like you did? He does. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:55 You just run it off. The amount of things in my stomach right now is pretty nuts. So how much do you run a day then? 30 miles a day? He runs 10 miles a day. 10 miles a day, depending on what type of mood I'm in. So how long did it take you to get here from New York? You know, I started a few weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:15:11 Great job, Forrest. I got him tattooed on my arm. Hey, maybe I do like movies. I had a movie on my arm. I didn't even realize. That's more commitment than any of my other guests have. Yeah. Motion pictures.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Yeah. None of your tats are movies, are they, Natalie? No. No. No movies. I got some video games. Oh, close enough. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:35 And, you know, occasionally they do make a video game into a movie. I would love an Animal Crossing movie. That would be really cool. Like it would be just animated animals trying to get across the thing? Nothing but. No, it would be animated figurines fake farming. Oh, I see. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:57 You got one fan on that one. Thank you. Somebody's in. Thank you. That's how an idea starts. I see you. They actually have a T-Pain as a song like a song music video
Starting point is 00:16:07 so we're halfway there. Oh okay. Yeah. T-Pain. Yeah. Living on a prayer? You said you were halfway there. That's Bon Jovi. As the comment from San Francisco the late great Dexter Madison used to say,
Starting point is 00:16:28 Bon Jovi, of course, in French means good Jovi. All right. Before we play the games today, I want to ask each of you to name for me your favorite film from last year. So if you didn't see a lot of films, obviously just pick one from the ones you did see. And we'll start with Dan. What's your number one? I was a big fan of David Fincher's The Killer.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Yeah? Yeah, a lot of people did not like it. You watch it in the cinema or on the Netflix? On my couch. On the couch. Yeah, I enjoyed it. I liked the little scene where he's doing yoga. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:06 It was just, it was boring enough. I like, you know, I like when people say they can't imagine watching paint dry. I can. I like those kinds of things. And that movie felt like that for me. It was nice and slow. Not a big payoff. Wow.
Starting point is 00:17:21 I could recommend a lot of movies to you. Please. Because that's the kind i don't like is slow and no payoff that's my least favorite so they tend to stick in my brain when that i thought it was just artsy enough to keep me intrigued so you're a fan of the whole uh sofia coppola uber i imagine i just like seeing like how a guy like that how his life fell apart kind of just because of one wrong shot yeah well yeah the crazy thing about the killer is i don't know about anybody who's seen the killer applaud if you've seen it yeah that's what i that was the vibe i was feeling in the room
Starting point is 00:17:57 yeah was that none of us have seen it no but uh i barely watch any but david fincher yeah so you know obviously and the obama movie where the world ends that was a good one leave the world behind And I barely watch any movies. But David Fincher. Yeah. So, you know, obviously. And the Obama movie, Where the World Ends. That was a good one. Leave the World Behind. Oh, why do you call that an Obama movie? He produced it. Oh, okay. I thought you just had really weird politics.
Starting point is 00:18:16 No, no. And that end of the world story is like, oh, that Obama movie. Where the world comes to an end. It's bothersome that, like, you know, the former president produced the movie about the end of the world. Right. Why? Because you can get all conspiracy theorists to be stoned watching the movie. You get freaked out.
Starting point is 00:18:36 And then you see executive produced by the Obamas. And you're like, ugh. That'd be funny if it said the Obama administration instead of just his name. But yeah, well, you know, he's probably... He's bored. He's doing some projects. Exactly. And he's probably getting stoned off his ass while he does it.
Starting point is 00:18:56 It's one of many. Getting stoned, golfing. He makes a best movies list every year. And this year, the movies he produced made the list. So things are going good. And this one was based off a book the movies he produced made the list. So things are going good. And this one was based off a book that was on his favorite books list. So we're skipping over to you, Natalie.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Is that your number one movie? No, I hated that movie. I actually hated it. Okay, now I'm glad to hear that because when Dan said that that was his number two after The Killer I was really losing faith in Dan's taste. No, no. You should lose faith in my taste. That movie is so fucking dumb. Well, I hated it.
Starting point is 00:19:29 It kept me up all night. I mean, it was just gruesome. It bothered me. It was gruesome? Yes. I don't need to see everyone dying. It's uncomfortable. Oh, I see.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Like, why do I have enough anxiety during the day? I don't need to watch my anxieties play out at night are we talking about the same movie like julia roberts lives through the whole fucking thing what do you mean but everyone spoilers the plane crashes like i don't want to watch that we didn't know anyone on the plane is this how you comfort her when you were watching no we don't ever we're not allowed to watch anything that gives her nightmares, which is everything. You know, she wants movies of animals crossing roads, so I got, there's not much
Starting point is 00:20:09 I could work with here, Doug. Those animals could get hurt. Yeah, one of them gets hit by a plane. I could work with that. You really didn't find that movie to be anxiety-inducing at all. Well, yeah, because I was like, let's go. Where is this going? What's the point of this? And then it would just go off in these weird different directions.
Starting point is 00:20:28 I found people found that movie very frustrating to watch. I mean, listen, I didn't. I like your take on it. I didn't think it was good, but I did think, wow, this is making me anxious. Yeah. This is really making it. The first half of Tom Cruise's War of the Worlds. No.
Starting point is 00:20:45 That's a good one. Really. But that, like the movie, the air goes out of it by the end of it. But like the tension in the first hour or so of that movie is pretty damn good. Is Mark Wahlberg in that movie? Which one? War of the Worlds? No, that's Tom Cruise.
Starting point is 00:21:00 Wow, that's where I'm at. I'm thinking Mark Wahlberg's in it, which I think would be a better movie. No, Mark Wahlberg's in the one where the wind blows a lot, and then people walk backwards, and then somehow it's scary. We did that as one of your movie interruptions. Yeah, he's a science teacher.
Starting point is 00:21:14 What is that, butterfly effect? And he's the one that figures out that if you walk slowly backwards, you could die. That one's not very good. I thought that was the Michael Jackson documentary right exactly
Starting point is 00:21:27 that was Killers of the Flower Moonwalk Killers of the Flower Moonwalk that was solid that was so quick that was fast just relax you guys ease into it alright so
Starting point is 00:21:44 let's move on to Greg. We'll get to you in a second, Natalie. Greg, favorite movie of last year? I didn't see that many movies. I saw Barbie. It was all right. I liked that. And I didn't see Oppenheimer yet because I didn't want to.
Starting point is 00:22:01 And then there was a bunch of movies I was going to... What was that one? Don't Worry Darling? Yeah. I was going to see that and then I remembered I'm older now
Starting point is 00:22:14 and I don't have that much time left. Yeah. And I didn't have time for that movie in my life. I think that one was even from a previous year. Oh, no wonder.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Yeah. I liked on television Zone Blanche and Lupin, two awesome French shows that might be a little scary. Zone Blanche might be scary for you, but Lupin is a diamond thief one, and that one's really good. Have you seen that with Omar Sy? No.
Starting point is 00:22:38 I don't know any of the words. He's a diamond thief in modern Paris. It's really good. But that's a TV program? It's a TV program, but I watched it as if it was a movie. I got high and I sat in a very cushy chair. Oh, I saw Indiana Jones and the errant dial that didn't work properly. And that one really... There was no...
Starting point is 00:23:00 I was waiting for a shipment of donkey donks to arrive that was big enough to accommodate the movie, but it never did. Because that movie really, really chewed the biggie. At one point, he's young, and they've made Harrison Ford young. Yeah, I hate that. And then Phoebe Waller-Fawfaw was in it, and nothing happened in that movie. It was as if, like the third Star Wars movie, the fourth one, it was as if they hadn't watched the other Indiana Jones movies. It did seem a little out of touch with the series.
Starting point is 00:23:31 They knew how to touch on the nostalgia of those movies, but it was its own weird thing. I'll just say one little thing. At the end, Karen Allen comes back because she was in the first Indiana Jones movie. All I could think of was hey you could have had her for the whole movie and that would have been the plot instead of we're looking for a sundial that aristotle lost or something i was completely flummoxed by the significance of the of. I mean, the Holy Grail, or what was the first one? Was it the Holy Grail?
Starting point is 00:24:07 That's what they're searching for, whatever is the Grail, but it's the Lost Ark of the Company. You know, there's Nazis and they melted and whatever. That was fun. Yeah, but you know, as it's been pointed out on this show in the past, the first Raiders of the Lost Ark, he's such
Starting point is 00:24:24 an amazing archaeologist and teacher, and he really knows what he's doing. And he just tells Marion to close her eyes when they open the Ark, and it works. Yeah. Everyone melts, and they're just like, just stand there with their eyes closed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:37 Okay, if we just, okay, we're good? Okay. It's a very strange solution to the problem. But then again, in part four, he ends up in a refrigerator during an atomic bomb explosion. So who knows? George Lucas has got a lot of crazy ideas. Oh, I know what I like. The Woman King with Viola Davis.
Starting point is 00:24:58 There you go. That's also from the previous year. Oh, I thought it was from last year. I think it was the previous year. What about the banshees that yelled at each other in Ireland for two fucking hours? Same. from the previous year, but... Oh, I thought it was from last year. I think it was the previous year, but... What about the banshees that yelled at each other in Ireland for two fucking hours? Same.
Starting point is 00:25:09 Oh, wow, with the finger throwing. Oh, God, white people. Natalie, you must have hated not only the fingers, but also a dog eating the fingers and then dies from eating fingers. Oh, that was heartbreaking, when the dog ate the finger. Yeah, brutal. You guys know what I'm talking about. Chelsea, you haven't seen the b ate the finger. Yeah, brutal.
Starting point is 00:25:26 You guys know what I'm talking about. Chelsea, you haven't seen the Banshees of Inisherit? I say don't if your reaction to that was better. You guys must know what we're talking about. That movie just proved that white people will watch other white people do fucking anything. When the dog ate the finger. For two hours and then go, oh my God, the acting was so powerful in white. Jesus Christ with Ireland. anything for two hours and then go oh my god the acting was so powerful and what like jesus christ with ireland all right so what's your i ate some lucky charms to purge myself of that movie because they're the frosted oats are real i did an irish tap dance
Starting point is 00:25:58 the which one what does that mean like leaving the party early? Yeah. But with a loud noise. You say goodbye to no one. You dance your way out? Yes. I was just guessing. I had no idea. Was Barbie from this year? Barbie was, yes.
Starting point is 00:26:13 Okay, well, I saw that. Okay. So we're marking you down for your favorite movie was the one that you just happened to see. Yeah. I love it. It was good, though. You know, I love the feminist message. I i thought was important you know whatever i thought the movie turned into ken about halfway through
Starting point is 00:26:32 and then there was about 45 minutes of ken the movie and it was really ken heavy for such a feminist oh yeah the middle of the movie was all about him and I was like, if you're just an appendage with no appendage, then really hit the sidelines, bro-hom. That was my only objection. He had big dickless energy. Totally. He had such smooth spot energy.
Starting point is 00:26:58 I thought there was way too much of him in the middle of it. I love the beginning and whatnot. I love the speech and all that. The ending, but too much of him in the middle of it i love the beginning and whatnot and i love the speech and all that and whatever but and then the ending you know but but you know it's a hollywood movie what are you gonna do like at no point is hollywood ever going to commit to anything resembling fucking feminism or equality or anything like that that they're always going to make a movie that kind of hey right you know yeah you want that, you have to go see Real People or a documentary or something.
Starting point is 00:27:27 You can't watch a Barbie and then go, I thought they missed the polemic boat. I swear Barbie and Oppenheimer both really, really benefited from just the weirdness of them opening the same weekend and the media deciding that that was like,
Starting point is 00:27:43 you know, the craziest thing Yeah. Oh my God. Craziest thing they've ever heard of. The man who invented the nuclear bomb and a doll. It's crazy. You know,
Starting point is 00:27:53 I really enjoyed Kate McKinnon in that. Yeah. Weird Barbie is a great concept that I would have liked more of that.
Starting point is 00:28:00 But she's very funny. Yes. I wish they gave her more. I would have watched a whole movie of her. You may just get to. Didn't you think it got Ken heavy in the middle? It did get Ken heavy, and I also felt like I didn't appreciate how they had a scene of Margot Robbie crying, being like,
Starting point is 00:28:19 I'm ugly. I was like, all right, you're pushing it a little bit. That was a little too much. I watched the whole movie over her shoulder on the plane. I didn't hear any of Barbie, but I did see the entire thing. Can I ask you something? Were you frightened later, and did you have a nightmare? No, I liked all the colors.
Starting point is 00:28:36 I'm a big colors guy. I really like that color for sure. The woman at the coffee shop called it quirky. A quirky shirt? She said that was a quirky choice. This is fun and different. I told her it was a good shirt to walk around in, which made it worse. It was the weirdest thing I could have said.
Starting point is 00:28:52 To walk around in? Yeah, I don't know what I meant by it. Do you mean walking or ultra walking? That's what I want to know. Just, you know, your regular normie walking. Normie walking, okay. Dan's actual favorite movie of the year was Chicken Ultra Run. What was that?
Starting point is 00:29:05 It came out this year as a cartoon. Oh, I got it. I do watch a lot of documentaries of people just running. So my taste is very boring. What will white people watch? Other white people running. Jeepers, creepers, you guys. Okay, finally, Natalie, it's your turn to name your favorite i thought she did no she we talked about
Starting point is 00:29:27 some stuff with her but okay didn't get a final answer well the three movies that came out this year that i saw were the killer are we supposed to guess which one's your favorite after you tell us all three sure i saw the killer okay you didn't like that the end of the world, you didn't like that. The End of the World one. You didn't like that. And Barbie. Barbie. So, yeah. So we got two Barbies? But I will say this. I did not see the last 18 minutes of Barbie.
Starting point is 00:29:51 The plane did land. You don't even know how it ends? I looked up the Billie Eilish song, and I enjoyed it. That song's so funny to me that it's from Barbie, and it's like the most sad, slow-ass song. I spent the whole movie just being like, damn, Margot Robbie is so pretty. And America Ferrera is really cool.
Starting point is 00:30:13 And I think that was my takeaway. All right. Yeah. You don't need no stinking ending. I felt for us. I feel like we saw the mink get thrown. That's what I saw. Ryan Gosling throwing his fur coat.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Yeah. And then the atomic bomb goes off, and all of the dolls melt. Yeah. And then Obama comes out. It's frustrating to think that they're trying to, like, encapsulate this full message in this movie. I don't know if they fully got that, but it was a cute attempt. It was. this movie. I don't know if they fully got that, but it was a cute attempt. I felt like it
Starting point is 00:30:47 was trying to do a lot of things and didn't do it all successfully, but did enough of it well that it certainly, a lot of people loved it and it was a movie for them. As a white, old, straight person
Starting point is 00:31:02 man, it really wasn't, none of it was for me and I still liked it. I liked, straight person, man. I enjoyed it. It really wasn't, none of it was for me and I still liked it. I liked it. Yeah, exactly. I definitely,
Starting point is 00:31:10 yeah. We got two Barbies and a killer. This is really good. This is really good for, How does that make you feel? It makes me feel like nobody's going to walk away
Starting point is 00:31:19 from this, listening to this episode with a new movie recommendation to check out because we all saw Barbie and The Killer people seem to have little interest in
Starting point is 00:31:29 The Killer great soundtrack yeah yeah it's all the Smiths oh it is only the Smiths songs is the soundtrack
Starting point is 00:31:36 the entire time okay I'm back in it's great music I love when a director even if it doesn't work I still love the commitment that was fun
Starting point is 00:31:44 of picking one artist to have their music throughout the whole movie, like Garfunkel, Simon and Garfunkel. I almost called them Garfunkel and Oates. I was going to say,
Starting point is 00:31:54 it wasn't Garfunkel and Oates, Doug. They could do it. They could write all the songs for a movie. It felt very much like a video game. You're watching a video game POV throughout the movie. Yeah. And all the lyrics really matched up
Starting point is 00:32:07 with the scenes, which was cool because they were Smith songs, but yeah. Alright. I am gonna check it out for sure. Dan's dad didn't like it. Okay, now I'm out. Just keep going back
Starting point is 00:32:24 and forth on this. All right. We're going to play some games after this break. We'll be right back. We are back. Let me recap what happened during the break. Dan is going to play for Blockbuster Brian. And Greg is going to play for Yvonne with an E on both ends. And Natalie is playing for Korea Costco.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Her real last name isn't Costco. I call her that because she's got a Costco card. And I am impressed. Alright. Wait, we play for them or they play for us? Oh, because wait. How can they play for you?
Starting point is 00:33:16 They're sitting in the audience. Because I don't know movies, so I'm going to Brian. Oh, well, wait until you hear how the last game works and then you can use the lifeline if you need it. and it's your new friend who you're playing on behalf of BB yeah but don't get ahead of me
Starting point is 00:33:32 we're only on the first game and it's a game that I like to call the price is wrong bitch I gotta remember to raise my hands as I'm saying it because there was a real delay on that here's how it works we are going to play
Starting point is 00:33:51 a pricing game like they do, like my friends do on Price is Right and Let's Make a Deal and I want the three of you to each guess, we'll start with Dan then we'll go to Greg, then we'll go to Natalie. But anybody can change their answer at any point.
Starting point is 00:34:11 But I want you each to bid. Tell me, without going over, whoever's the closest without going over wins, the price of Roku Ultra. Oh. Yeah, right? I know you probably haven't been pricing Roku Ultra. Oh. Yeah, right? I know you probably haven't been pricing Roku Ultras, so it's a tricky thing to have to guess. But, Dan, start us off.
Starting point is 00:34:35 $85. You think this retails for $85 on the Roku.com website? Is that where you purchased it? I did not. I didn't purchase it. They sent it to me and said, you know, here's the Roku if you need it.
Starting point is 00:34:53 And it turns out I don't need it. Because I have a Roku TV. That's the thing. They're making Roku TVs now. So I don't know why you need this. You're not making it sound good for them. Maybe. I don't know. you need this. Shh, you're not making it sound good for them. Maybe. I don't know. So, 85 bucks is Dan's guess. Greg, what do you think
Starting point is 00:35:09 this would go for? Two buffalo pelts and a pile of glass. Is that a useful thing for the Indian? I'm used to trading a lot on the road. Do your gigs pay you in wampum?
Starting point is 00:35:33 A lot of people don't use cash anymore. I just don't use anything but the barter system. I would say half a peck of cucumbers. Okay. And a bag of figs. Okay. And Natalie, what do you think? How much do you think this thing goes for?
Starting point is 00:35:53 Say $120. $120. And no items? No bag of figs? Can I change mine? You need somewhere in there. Yes. Can I add a little bit of an item?
Starting point is 00:36:05 You can, but this item thing, I don't know how it's going to play into it, because it's dollars and cents is what I know to be the answer. So that's what I'm looking for. This is like if you went on Price is Right and said, blankets, and then they would have you escorted from the building, and they would pick another contestant. It would be cool to add a little bit of an item with it. But, okay.
Starting point is 00:36:27 Go ahead. What item? No, no. All right. You sure? Greg, what's your changed answer? What do you want to change it to? 50 million Turkish lira.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Okay. I said no going over, right? Or is Turkish lira, is it like yen or something? No, they're like Turkish lira, Doug. No, they don't have a lot of value. You have to use a lot of lira to get Turkish delight in Istanbul. But in Ankara, I think you could bargain them down. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:05 All right, so I'm going to have to just make a judgment call on this, because I'm not that familiar with lira and, you know, how many it would cost for this particular item. Oh, can I just change it one more time?
Starting point is 00:37:21 Turkish Ultra Lira. Poor that you got that in It retails According to the one sign I went to For $99.99 Dan Lamont You won The first game you've ever played
Starting point is 00:37:43 On Douglas Movies You dominated it. We're going to get you that Roku. Took it down. I can't carry it. Ryan is so excited. You're going to watch Blockbusters on that. You're not even going to need your Blockbuster card anymore.
Starting point is 00:37:56 You're not going to need the commute to Bend to rent movies. You can just chill right here in Los Angeles. We didn't have a Blockbuster in my town. We had a guy named Mark who had a movie store. You know what? It's weird. He still follows me on Facebook, and he'll leave messages. Like, I used to love seeing you walk around the store.
Starting point is 00:38:14 And he was, now that I said it out loud, it's pretty bad. That's not right. Well, I guess it's good he went out of business. Oh, that's too bad. I mean, it's hard to keep a business going because he had such a weird name. It was called Mark of the Covenant and it's just like
Starting point is 00:38:28 people didn't get it they didn't know it was a movie reference they were just like this place sounds like a cult true story he does really
Starting point is 00:38:35 still hang around there I believe you he says he's gonna open the store again one day I don't believe him I don't think the market's coming back
Starting point is 00:38:40 to do what yeah what's he gonna do with it I'm gonna tell the state not to let him, probably. But people are getting frustrated that they don't have physical copies of things anymore because these fucking rich corporations keep pulling content from their things and then making them available nowhere.
Starting point is 00:39:00 They're just burying things. It's very strange. Stock up on your dvds now for the next i mean for a second it felt like oh you don't need dvds at all anymore because just all movies are just out there somewhere even if you just have to pay a couple bucks to see it or whatever but it's uh it's maybe letting multinational corporations take control of all of our mainstream entertainment wasn't as great an idea as it sounded like at the beginning knowing with their love of art and their disdain for commerce and that they would immediately go into the business of archiving
Starting point is 00:39:33 everything and making it free for future generations to enjoy and therefore promoting cinema however you may have noticed that disney in the last few years has really come up with this great idea where they've redone every movie they've done in the last 20 years over again. Because evidently, there's no more writers in Hollywood. They're all dead. Well, they have to write that. They have to write these remakes. Oh, well, fair enough.
Starting point is 00:39:55 You got me there. It's got to be very rewarding. That's why I'm not in a multinational corporation, and you could be. Because I wouldn't have thought, oh, we have to get someone to come in and write it worse than it was and have Timothy Chamolet play Willy Wonka and shit upon my dreams and destroy what a young boy once loved by making it facile, vapid, and even more shallow
Starting point is 00:40:18 than it could have possibly been comprehended by any human. Where are you at with the Paddington films? I like the Paddington films. Paddington Bear? Yeah. A gripping exploration of people from Peru's troubles in England. I love Paddington Bear. Me too.
Starting point is 00:40:39 I love the sculpture. I love the little bear. You haven't seen the movies though? No. I just love... There's two feature-length movies waiting for you, and a third one on the way. What kind of antics does the bear get into? He got lost, and he's got a tag on him.
Starting point is 00:40:54 He causes a lot of problems that he doesn't mean to cause. Is it like a clean Ted? He doesn't mean to do it. Kinda, yeah. Yeah, he's a troublemaker, but he doesn't do it on purpose and he has a cute little British accent. True or false? He's adorable.
Starting point is 00:41:10 Yeah. Yeah. That was an easy answer. I didn't need to phone Brian for that one. He's really cute. But anyway, this new Wonka is the same director as those Paddington films so it's got a similar color palette.
Starting point is 00:41:26 But I haven't seen it yet. But you didn't see the Wonka, Craig? No, I was going to go see the Willy Wonka movie, and then I remembered I was busy that day. I had to pull my eyes out and feed them to a passing dog. I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming. I knew you were going to do something terrible instead of seeing Willy Wonka.
Starting point is 00:41:47 I didn't see the Johnny Depp one either because I remember. But I did, however, watch the Gene Wilder one over again on a plane about two weeks ago. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. The Depp one is creepy. The Oompa Loompa is the same. It's the same guy over and over again.
Starting point is 00:42:00 It's a dumb effect. It's dumb. It's not right. Not cool. Not cool. But I don't know about this Wonka movie. It sounds like it doesn't have a lot of oompas or loompas. But anyway, I haven't seen it.
Starting point is 00:42:11 I don't think anyone, I don't think you take on a Gene Wilder role. Let's push that a little. Well, you know, Jeremy Allen White could do it. Well, but he looks like him, yes. That's what I'm saying. Every time there's a close-up of him now,
Starting point is 00:42:26 I just can't unsee Gene Wilder, especially Gene Wilder at the end of Willy Wonka when he's all upset and he's about to say, I said good day, sir. Like that scene, like if you put that next to a current picture of Jeremy Allen White, it's amazing how similar they look. But we got to play some games,
Starting point is 00:42:44 and we got one more coming up here that Dan gets to play. He gets to go first, and we switch the order around. So it's going to go Dan and then where did it go last time? Oh, it'll go Dan, Natalie, Greg. All right, here we go. And the game is called, because you're here, Greg. I have, here we go. And the game is called, because you're here, Greg, I have to play this. It's a game we play on the show a lot.
Starting point is 00:43:11 It's called Whose Tagline Is It Anyway? Woo! All right, here's how it works. Dan gets to go first. Dan, I will tell you the tagline from a motion picture, and then I will tell you the tagline from a motion picture, and then I will say three movies that it could be the tagline of, and you have to guess which one you think it is. All right.
Starting point is 00:43:35 Yeah. And then if you miss it, then Natalie gets a chance with the two remaining choices. If she misses, Greg would get the first gimme point because he would know that the answer is the one remaining of the three. And then every time someone gets one right, we start with the next person on the next one, and first person with three points wins.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Ready, Dan? Yes. Here we go. The tagline is, this is the way it was this is the way it was larry the cable guy health inspector no i give you choices oh okay after your hilarious answer then i give three choices it's like hollywood squares they always have a joke answer ready to go, and then the real answer.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Between these three films, Dan, one million years B.C., 10,000 B.C., or year one? Oh, shit. I'm going to go year one. This is the way it was. Year one is your answer.
Starting point is 00:44:43 That is incorrect. Got it. Sorry, Brian. Please don't apologize every time that happens. Might not happen again, though. You never know. You might be right every time after this.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Natalie, the remaining options are one million years B.C. or 10,000 B.C. This is the way it was. I'm going to go with 10,000 B.C. I'm sorry. That is incorrect.
Starting point is 00:45:18 Greg, is it 1 million years B.C.? Wow. years BC I didn't see the 1 million BC but I saw beneath 1 million BC the ultra years clan of the cave bears yes I will say is that the one with the Raquel Welch
Starting point is 00:45:40 I believe it is that's a good movie they speak cave English have you ever noticed in all the cave movies, like it's basically English, but they just kind of jazz it up. They'll go like, gobe. Stop. Rah. What?
Starting point is 00:45:58 Sorry. Yeah, yeah. I get it. 1966 with Raquel Welch. Oh, my God, the Pamputis She has little fur Pamputis Oh yeah And a fur bikini
Starting point is 00:46:12 Yeah bikini It's pretty unforgettable Now you hit on a word I know Bikini? Yeah I didn't know that other word that he was saying with bikini It's one of the most famous. Next to, I think, Ursula Andress or Halle Berry.
Starting point is 00:46:30 It's one of the most famous bikinis. The two Bond ladies in their bathing suits and then the fur bikini that Raquel Welch. Good movie. There's a dinosaur and two tribes. It's complex, man. By the way, dinosaurs live amongst people in that movie, which is pretty awesome.
Starting point is 00:46:49 It was the way it was, Greg. That's why the tagline's so apt. That's right there. The tagline really nailed it. Alright. Greg is on the board. Greg's got one point. Back to you, Dan. What movie do you think has the tagline the ultimate trip the ultimate trip is it 2001 a space odyssey 2010 the year we made contact or space balls 2001 a space odyssey is correct. Dan is on the
Starting point is 00:47:26 board. Dan is killing it. Don't have to apologize to anybody, Dan. Nope. All right. One point for Dan, one point for Greg, Natalie. You're up first on this next one.
Starting point is 00:47:42 All right. She means business, man. Yeah, she put her water bottle down. She's ready to go. The great holiday show that sets the screen aglow is the tagline.
Starting point is 00:48:01 Which motion picture it's a musical. Which one do you think it is white christmas singing in the rain or 1776 the great holiday show that sets the screen aglow can i go the options again yes white christmas singing in the rain or 1776 well here's the thing i don't feel like it's 1776. I feel like Singing in the Rain is a musical, but it's not Christmassy.
Starting point is 00:48:33 Yeah, I agree with that. I guess I'd have to go with White Christmas. Okay, that's incorrect. Wait a minute! Wait a second! How did that happen? Greg? So we've eliminated White Christmas.
Starting point is 00:48:51 As we should from all of our lives. The great holiday show that sets the water glow? The screen. Oh, the screen. As in the silver screen, yes. Certainly. I'm going to say Singing in the Rain, just to be contrary. Okay, you to be contrary.
Starting point is 00:49:05 Okay, you might as well. There's no reason to win. That is incorrect. Dan L'Amour, what do you think it is? The last one left. You don't even remember the number? The year our country was born? Oh, 1776.
Starting point is 00:49:22 That's right. Dan is correct. He's got two points now. The year the white people country was born. There was another country before that. I guess the holiday they're referring to is the 4th of July.
Starting point is 00:49:37 So stupid. That was a trick question. It's like Hamilton without any coolness. Hang on tight. There's going to be trick question. It's like Hamilton without any coolness. Hang on tight. There's going to be trick questions. If we did straightforward questions. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:52 Dan's on the board again. He's got two. Greg's got one. But we're back to you, Natalie. Wow. This is yours. This point is yours for the taking. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:50:01 This is yours. This point is yours for the taking. I don't know. The tagline is, welcome to the reckoning. Is this the tagline for the reckoning from 2003? The reckoning from 2020? Or the dark night rises? Can I hear the tagline again? 2020 or The Dark Knight Rises. Can I hear the tagline again?
Starting point is 00:50:29 Welcome to the reckoning. Can I hear the options again? The reckoning from 2003, the reckoning from 2020, or The Dark Knight Rises. Can I hear the tagline again? Welcome to the reckoning. Use it in a sentence.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Welcome to the reckoning. Use it in a sentence. Welcome to the reckoning, bitch. I'm going to say, and it's either... Reckoning, reckoning, or a duck night rises. And what are the first two options again? Oh my God. Hey, watch it. I'm going to go with the reckoning. 2003 or 2020?
Starting point is 00:51:08 You know what, Doug? What do you think it is? If I had to guess. Listen, listen. Pick one. I'm going to definitely go for the earlier film. 2003. Incorrect.
Starting point is 00:51:23 Nope, that's not what I said I said alright Greg Mr. Holland's Opus I'll be happy to talk about that some other time but for now you need to say The Reckoning
Starting point is 00:51:40 or The Dark Knight Rises I'm gonna go Dark Knight Rises? I'm going to go Dark Knight Rises. That is correct. Oh. Yes, that's a line. Welcome to The Reckoning. Yes, exactly what he sounds like in that movie.
Starting point is 00:51:57 Yes, Bane was played by Axl Rose. I hate to admit this, but I'm a little bit of a movie buff. Why are you admitting it? You know, I actually almost didn't get into acting school when I was younger because I told them I didn't like movies. Wow. Why would they? That's so funny.
Starting point is 00:52:17 Like, actors cannot like movies. They told my mom, like, we don't want to accept her because she told us that she doesn't like movies. And I was like, yeah, I like Broadway. Okay, that's acting. But they were like, no, you need to like movies. I don't seem to understand how it works, those people. They guided you in the wrong direction.
Starting point is 00:52:39 I'm glad you found the stage one way or the other by becoming a comedian. Whose turn is it? Dan. I feel like I've gone first in all of these games. Greg just got that one, so you're right. It is Dan's turn. By the way, how many points are we
Starting point is 00:52:57 playing for, Doug? First thing to three, like I said at the beginning. Well, we're close. Oh, you said three at the beginning. But it's always good to remind everybody, we're playing to three, like I said at the beginning. Well, we're close. Oh, you said three at the beginning. Okay. But it's always good to remind everybody, we're playing to three points. Okay. But all this talking that has nothing to do with the game is throwing me off. So whose turn is it, do you really think?
Starting point is 00:53:18 Is it Dan's? Yes. Because Greg got the last one right, right? Okay. Because we were going, what order were we going in? Natalie, then Dan, then Greg? Dan, Natalie, Greg. So we're back to Dan, then Natalie.
Starting point is 00:53:35 All right. Dan, this is for the win, if you can get this one. I'll take another chance. If you can get it, it's for the win. Here we go. Here we go. Fight, dream, hope, love. Is that the tagline for The Princess Diaries?
Starting point is 00:53:53 The Princess Diaries 2, Royal Engagement, or Les Miserables? You know, I think it has Royal Engagement vibes. It seems like a second movie kind of feel. Is that your answer? That is my answer. Incorrect. Natalie. What are the options?
Starting point is 00:54:14 Greg. No, I want to get Natalie on the board. Princess Diaries or Les Mis? It's definitely not Princess Diaries. No, so you're saying Les Mis? Les Mis, yes. Can you just say the words Les Mis? Les Mis!
Starting point is 00:54:30 Les Mis is correct! You know why I knew that one too, right, Doug? Yeah. Because you love the stage. Thank you. You know nothing about this movie version of it. No, I don't know the movie version. You didn't see all the...
Starting point is 00:54:44 I know it because of On My Own. All the hope and the love and the dreaming and the fighting. It was all in there. But it was also true of the Princess Diary movies. So good job. Only good thing about Princess Diaries is the makeover scene. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:55:01 You like a good montage. I get it. Yeah. All right. I like a glasses break. Greg, this is for the win. Okay. Because you got two points, buddy.
Starting point is 00:55:12 The tagline is, it's hotter than hell. Is that the tagline for Volcano, Dante's Peak, or Krakatoa east of Java? What was the second one? Dante's Peak. Oh, Dante's Peak. With the great Pierce Brosnan. It's hotter than hell is the tagline. Exclamation point.
Starting point is 00:55:37 That was the tagline for a movie I saw in San Francisco in the 80s called All Hands on Dick. It was this nautical themed movieemed movie, a lot of guys in it, and the tagline was hotter than hell. Oh, so these three. It's hotter than hell. It's not Krakatoa, East of Java. I happen to know that one. So I'm going to say it's Dante's Peak.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Incorrect. Correct. Correctly incorrect. Dan? I'll go with the east of Java. Incorrect. Natalie? Told you it wasn't east of Java.
Starting point is 00:56:16 He tried to tell you. I wish people on Jeopardy would tell the other contestants. And by the way, the answer is not. Krakatoa is west of Java. Yeah, that's true. For real. That's true. It's written here on this piece of paper. It's the kind of the answer is not. Krakatoa is west of Java. Yeah, that's true. For real. That's true.
Starting point is 00:56:27 It's written here on this piece of paper. It's the kind of thing I would say is the host. And I'm glad that one of the guests knows as much as I do about Krakatoa east of Java.
Starting point is 00:56:39 I wrote down, it's actually west unless they mean coffee. Yeah. And when it when it blew up um the sunsets were bright red around the world for about two years you talk about climate change it blew so much material into the air that places were blocked out cops failed the whole enchilada wait krakatoa was a volcano yeah that's the idea here is it's three films
Starting point is 00:57:03 you notice three volcano movies the other two movies had a volcano theme yeah context I didn't know what Dante's was so Natalie's gonna say the word volcano volcano that's correct whoa
Starting point is 00:57:16 wait did she just get three points with that one I I don't think so. Everybody's got two. This is so exciting. This has ended way more exciting than I thought it would. We've got a three-way tie. That was a good movie, by the way. Greg gets to go first.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Which one? Three-way tie. We have to cut the Roku in three. All right, here we go. The tagline was, it's hotter than hell. All right. Greg, go. The tagline was, it's hotter than hell. All right. Greg, this is all on you.
Starting point is 00:57:50 If you get this, you win the game. All right. Heaven and Earth are about to collide. Is that the tagline for when worlds collide? Deep impact or Armageddon? Armageddon. Incorrect. Deep Impact or Armageddon? Armageddon. Incorrect. Dan, this is for the win.
Starting point is 00:58:16 Yes. 50-50 shot. You can do this. It was not Armageddon, so the remaining two are... Wait, which one did you say, Greg? I can't remember now. I said Armageddon,
Starting point is 00:58:36 which it wasn't. The other two are Deep Impact and some other movie. When Worlds Collide. Which one, Dan? Deep Impact. You threw me off, Dan, with your logic there, but that is correct. It is Deep Impact. Heaven and Earth collide. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:58:55 Now I'm starting to think it's When Worlds Collides. It really feels like it should be When Worlds Collides, right? But anyway, congratulations, Dan. You won that game. And you know what that means? You get to go first in our final game that we're going to play right after this break. We'll be right back. We're back.
Starting point is 00:59:22 Yay. Thank you, everybody, for being here on a Tuesday night at the lab, at the improv, coming to see what's on the slab. And now we're going to play a game to determine our winner today. Dan won that last game, so he gets to go first in super last person standing. Yeah. All right. super last person standing. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:49 So, Dan, go to your person that you're playing on behalf of who is Blockbuster Brian. Yes, sir. And Brian, you understand the assignment. In this game, you need to name an actress
Starting point is 01:00:01 that will take turns naming their films. Who would you like to pick tonight? that will take turns naming their films, who would you like to pick tonight? Have you looked over Dan and listened to what his likes and dislikes are? They're slim pickings. Think of an actress you think Dan might be good at. Okay, just pick one then.
Starting point is 01:00:21 I don't mean to put that extra pressure on you. Just name an actress you like or something. Emma Stone. Emma Stone is a great example. She just won one of those awards. She won a Golden Globe for, oh, I was going to say what for. Don't say it yet. Keep it quiet.
Starting point is 01:00:39 All right. Who's next? We've got Yvonne is Greg's person. Doris Day. Doris Day. I love where this is going. This is a really good way. Thank you, Yvonne, because it's a way to make the game go by quicker.
Starting point is 01:01:01 To bring Doris Day into it. Holy shit. I might have to go to an outside judge or something because I don't even know if I know... I know a few Doris Day movies, but that is some old school stuff right there. And then finally, Korea?
Starting point is 01:01:22 Terry Polo. Welp. Wow, Terry Poloo thank you very much because the show's running a little long you know we got it we got plugs to do at the end and whatnot so there's no reason to drag it out for too long so Terry Polo love love her shirts, but she's also an actress. And fantastic, fantastic suggestion. This is going to be great. All right. So it's the films of the great.
Starting point is 01:02:00 I mean, all of these ladies are on their way to an EGOT. But I guess Doris didn't make it. She's no longer with us. Emma Stone, Doris Day, or Terry Polo will go Dan, Greg, Natalie. Wait, Dan, Greg, me, Natalie, then back to Dan again. Let's go around like that.
Starting point is 01:02:23 Dan, what do you got? A film that features any one of those three women. Oh, Emma Stone was in Superbad. Yes, she was. Super fun movie. Early on in her career, she did that. Greg? Who was in Superbad?
Starting point is 01:02:40 Emma Stone. Oh, La La Land. Yes, of course, La La Land. Yes, of course, La La Land. I just feel like a responsibility to get some Terry Polo action going because I don't even know. Do you know who Terry Polo is? Not a clue. Okay, so this is going to be great.
Starting point is 01:02:57 This is really going to help you out. Meet the parents. Okay, Natalie, it's your turn. I am going to call a friend. The Parents. Okay, Natalie, it's your turn. I am going to call a friend. You're going to your lifeline? Terry Polo from Meet the Parents and Doris Day from lots of movies, but before most of our time.
Starting point is 01:03:21 Yeah, I'm going to use... And then Emma Stone. You got no Emma Stone? Honestly, I'm just, you know, I'm going to use... And then Emma Stone? You got no Emma Stone? Honestly, I'm just, you know, I'm not a movie gal. Right. Yeah. Okay, let's go to your lifeline.
Starting point is 01:03:33 Yeah. Yeah, where's... Who was it again? Korea. It's Korea? What am I supposed to say? You're supposed to say a movie that's got Emma Stone or
Starting point is 01:03:45 Doris Day or your choice. Domestic Disturbance. Terry Polo's in that? Terry Polo and Domestic Disturbance. That's exactly the movie I was thinking of. Alright, so Natalie, you're still in for another round.
Starting point is 01:04:02 And we'll go to Dan. Can it be another Emma Stone movie? That's the idea. Okay, great. We're naming Emma Stone or Doris Day or Terry Polo has Emma Stone in it.
Starting point is 01:04:14 That's right. Congratulations, Greg. So I can do any of the three actresses? He's joking right now. I can do Doris Day. What? I can pick Doris Day? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:26 All three actresses, all the time, the whole game. The man who knew too much with Doris Day. Yeah, there you go. See, I knew you'd know some Doris Days. All right, so I'm going to say... Meet the Fockers. Really good one. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:48 So Natalie's out, I guess. guess you know what uh-oh did you think of something i love movies and thank you thank you thank you for being here. Natalie Cuomo, everybody. Dan, it's going to his lifeline. Brian, blockbuster Brian. What do you got? How about Poor Things? Poor Things. Yes, I almost said it out loud earlier because that's what she just won the Oscar for,
Starting point is 01:05:17 Poor Things. All right. Thanks, Brian. She didn't win the Oscar. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. She won the, whatever that was the other night, Critics' Choice. Greg.

Starting point is 01:05:44 Dan LaMde, everybody! It's just you and me, Greg. Calamity Jane. She's in that? Doris Day? Sounds right. Sounds legit. Like I said, you could really
Starting point is 01:06:02 pull it all over my eyes when it comes to Doris Day films, because I don't know all of them. But I'm going to guess one. Or know what? First, I'm going to say Little Fockers, because holy shit. Little Fockers. Greg? Right?
Starting point is 01:06:18 Little Fockers. Yeah. And then you already had the other Focker movie, right? That's the idea. As I said, all three of them I was hoping to give somebody a chance Terry Polo's in all the fucking movies All those fucking movies
Starting point is 01:06:34 Send me no flowers Oh shit For reals? Here's one I was going to guess Please don't eat the daisies She's in both of those Back to you Greg Back to you, Greg. Back to you out in the field.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Over by your water. Riot. A boy with a horn. Kirk Douglas. I swear to God, I know you're right. I know it's true, but it's still cracking me up that I don't know. I think I've reached the end of my Doris Day movies but guess what?
Starting point is 01:07:08 Emma Stone is my the favorite. She's in a movie called The Favorite. Greg? There's the new one with her. Born Yes Born. Poor Things? I'm So Born. I Just Got Born.
Starting point is 01:07:24 The Curse? She just made a movie where she's like a robot from the 19th century Or whatever Poor Things Now you've given me the answer Yeah because we already said it Oh you already said Poor Things Oh But I love that she's a robot
Starting point is 01:07:42 From the 19th century It's a fun description Well isn't she? No she's a robot from the 19th century. It's a fun description. Well, isn't she? No, she's a Frankenstein. Oh. Yeah, it's good. Isn't that the same thought as Oppenheimer? Basically.
Starting point is 01:07:56 Basically, most movies have a Frankenstein. Okay. They're all full of monsters. Love her, come back. Okay. I assume that sounds like a Dor lover come back okay I assume that's that sounds like a Doris Day movie yeah that's a goodie
