Doug Hicks, and he wrapped his baby, baby, sticky seats with 50 azopop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still a phone that he won't speak, so come on in.
Hey, hey, hey everybody!
Hey!
My name is Doug, and I love movies.
This is Doug's Movies!
It's a good...
When a festival crowd gets their shit together
for that part of the show,
it's rare, so I'm very proud of you guys.
Like I said,
we're coming to you from
Esther's Follies in downtown Austin
during South by Southwest!
Okay, let's see here.
It's Tuesday, right?
March 15th.
2016, let's call it.
What's the name tag situation?
Do people bring name tags?
We've got some very poorly crafted ones in the front.
That looks like a good one.
I like that one.
There's a good one.
Whoa.
Star Wars situation.
You know that the nerds on my show
often go for the Star Wars.
Star Wars and donuts
seem to be the smartest way to go.
But go ahead and put them down.
Just wanted to make sure there were some
because in a festival environment,
everybody's wearing a name tag already.
So the idea of also making a name tag
is people don't do it.
You got things to do.
Right?
Some of you are stoners. Don't listen to this podcast.
There he is.
But you know, I can rest assured that I am indeed high.
But I found
movies at a younger age
so that was the first podcast
my movies podcast
and it's been a good 10 years now I think
we've got to have an anniversary maybe
let's do some plugs
this Thursday, St. Patrick's Day
come hang out with me and Jason and Deb from 101X here in Austin
at the Fido Pub.
You know that place, Fido?
Yeah, I'm going to be there starting at like 7 in the morning, just drinking Guinness and playing movie games.
So come by for that. and that afternoon I'm going to be mocking Leprechaun 4
in space
with the local phenomenon
known as Master Pancake
yeah
love those guys
I think you're going to need a badge to get into that
you don't need a badge to go to Fido
but you do
need a badge
that's not an official, that's not a South by Southwest event.
But yeah, the interruption is going to be tough to get into.
So apologies for that.
I'll come back and do some for people who live here.
Yes.
Because I do have to say thank you to Austin, Texas for being Austin, Texas because even though a lot of
Austinites aren't here
today because it's a festival of people
all over the world. Like, where are you from?
Austin? Okay, great.
So, uh...
Thanks a lot. You're a lot of help. You can't just
fucking say China or some shit.
Um...
Ha ha ha ha!
Uh, Saturday we're doing another Douglas Movies at the State Theater
It's during music weekend
At 4.20 in the afternoon
So that's another one where there'll be
Plenty of room to get in
And plenty of nice vibes
From the corrections department
Joe Pesci
Was not a voice in Shark Tale.
Even though Pesci does mean fish in some...
at least one language.
And Josh Brolin was not Thanos in The First Avengers.
It was Damien Poitier.
Yeah, but then Josh took over the role because
Damien got a really big head which is a Thanos has a really big head joke it
doesn't make any sense let's look at the prize bag you guys I had to bring you a
good prize bag because I know you guys have a lot of choices here at South by
Southwest and this is the one you made so someone gets to walk around with this I know you guys have a lot of choices here at South by Southwest,
and this is the one you made.
So someone gets to walk around with this for the rest of the night.
Try getting this into Maggie Mae's to see churches.
You're going to get stopped at the door right away
because it's a Frisbee that says Houston Normal on it.
They're not going to let you bring that
into any of the venues here.
A dude brought for the prize bag
when I was in New York.
He tweeted me.
I prefer people not to bring me stuff
for the prize bag,
but this was a great coincidence.
I was thinking about seeing Man of Steel again
because I thought I didn't like it.
And Superman
versus Batman's coming out, and
I just want to be like, I want to
go into it more hyped, you know?
So I wanted to see Man of Steel again, and he just happened
to give me a copy of
Man of Steel, coincidentally, to put in
the prize bag. So I watched
it again.
Still don't like it
and uh
but I'm strangely pumped for
the next one anyway like
cause Henry Cavill's not a bad
Superman it's just the movie just
I just didn't like the story it told I didn't like a
Superman movie where it's like I'm
Clark Kent is the last line
of the movie
just weird.
You know, it's like, let's drag this shit out even longer.
Like, why didn't we have, you know,
like a whole movie of his kindergarten year?
All right.
From my VHS pile that I travel with all over the place,
from my days working for a television network.
It's an episode of The Oblongs.
Yeah, I thought Austin would be like a place
where people would be like, yeah, The Oblongs.
Sklar Brothers were voices on The Oblongs.
And the episode is called The Golden Child,
which knowing that show,
it's about a child who drinks urine. And the characters is called The Golden Child, which, knowing that show, it's about a child who drinks urine.
And the characters were odd.
They were like freaks.
I'm explaining myself.
And an episode of Angel,
the great show Angel,
the episode entitled
To Shanshu in L.A.
Whatever that means.
Do not know what that was about.
Oh, a flyer for Houston Normal.
There might be another button for Houston Normal.
A little toiletry bag that they give you
when you fly in first class that I didn't use
because I like to arrive smelly.
Oh, this is really great, you guys,
from my CD collection.
Remember these guys?
The presidents of the United States of America.
He's Trump. He's Trump. He's Trump.
He might be dead.
Lump. That was it.
The song was called Lump
And finally, a poster that I have no idea what it is
It was handed to me by someone recently
And I don't think I ever even looked at it
Oh, it's pretty good
It's an official South by Southwest poster
For the Jake Gyllenhaal film Demolition
So I'm going to be hanging on to that poster for the Jake Gyllenhaal film Demolition.
So I'm going to be hanging on to that.
That's not the last movie I saw,
but I did see Demolition here,
thanks to South by Southwest,
and I really enjoyed that movie a lot.
I think Jake Gyllenhaal is one of our finest actors right now, and I think
that Jean-Marc Vallee,
the director, I just watch anything
he does. He did Wild
and Dallas Buyers Club, and
now he did this movie, Demolition, which
I already smell people not liking
it, because it's like
it's kind of got a weird structure and
doesn't seem terribly
realistic, but it's called Demolition. So settle the fuck down. Kind of got a weird structure and doesn't seem terribly realistic.
But it's called Demolition.
So settle the fuck down.
It's not called quiet drama.
It's not called sensible viewing.
Reasonable characters. Let's get them out here viewing. Reasonable characters.
Let's get them out here, speaking of reasonable characters.
I got a whole crew of four lovely gentlemen.
Three old bees and one new bee.
And you'll see, because I'm going to say their names right now.
Keep Austin weed! gonna say their names right now keep austin weed um and please welcome owen benjamin nate margatze jeff nichols and chris cubis All right.
Pick up your beautiful microphones.
And wait, is someone missing?
Owen.
What happened to Owen?
He was having a real dilemma backstage
about what he was going to put in the prize bag.
And I didn't think it was that serious that it would kill him.
But he
was extremely concerned and then
just completely disappeared.
Wouldn't that be awful if
we never saw Owen Benjamin again
and the last thing that we did see was he was
concerned about, should I put this
shirt or this shirt in the prize bag?
I'll just do an Owen Benjamin
impression. Can I do that?
Yeah, go ahead, Nate.
I'm already trying to throw the listeners
off.
Hey, I'm Owen Benjamin.
Is that what he sounds like? I don't know what Owen Benjamin
sounds like. Is that your just go-to
white guy impression?
Yeah, I go Mickey Mouse. That's normally what I do.
Because he's a giant dude.
Oh, yeah? Well, fuck. I probably shouldn't have made fun
of him then. I apologize.
He sounds like he has a really big dick.
He's coming right now, and he is not happy.
What happened, dude? Oh, and Benjamin, everybody.
Hi, everybody.
You got lost?
I did. I got lost.
It's a labyrinth.
Esther's Follies is a complicated I was going to say maze
It was amazing
A mythical
Did you see the mermaid?
No
There's a mermaid out there
Nice
This place is pretty
Pretty weird
It's a very interesting venue
And I always have a blast here
But we were
I was going to start introducing everybody,
and I'd like to start with our newest guest first.
This is his first time on the program,
and he's the director who has a movie that played here the other night.
Let's give a warm round of applause to Jeff Nichols, everybody.
Thanks. Thanks for having me.
The film is called Midnight Special,
and it is not about Wolfman Jack
and the television program Midnight Special
that aired on NBC for 40 years
before any of you were born.
It's a new movie with Michael Shannon,
who...
So you work with him.
He's going to be in every one of your movies.
Yeah.
Always.
I've made five.
He's been in all five.
Yeah.
So does he just drop everything?
Does he just say, like, I can't be Zod today.
I got to...
Jeff Nichols and a kid are waiting for me in Texas.
Actually, I made this movie called Mud.
There you go.
Respect.
Thanks.
We could only get him for two days
because he was making Man of Steel.
They told us
if something happened to him
while we were working with him, that we would have to pay
for Man of Steel.
The two days
that he showed up,
like all the producers
showed up
and everybody was
very nervous.
But we got him out alive,
so no damage.
He didn't have to do
anything crazy in mud,
did he?
Yeah, we actually put him
in the middle of the
Mississippi River
with this diving helmet on
connected to a garden hose.
But we picked a really
shallow spot of the river
and he's so damn tall
that he wouldn't go underwater.
So I was like, stepping
on his shoulders, like,
get down, Mike!
Like, get...
It was like going on vacation, going
back to work, having to fight a superhero.
Yeah. Throwing each other
through buildings and shit.
Pretty much.
Yeah.
I was just telling the audience earlier that I just watched Man of Steel again just to pump up.
I heard, yeah.
Just to pump up.
One thing that movie did not get wrong, in my opinion, is Michael Shannon.
There is hardly a guy that can be scarier when he wants to be.
And then now in your movie, Midnight Special,
is it saying too much to talk about his behavior?
No.
Okay.
That's good.
He's got a warm side that he didn't know about.
So fucking suck on that.
I don't know why I'm so mad about it.
That was an aggressive compliment.
Because Michael Shannon is like, to me,
when he's playing scary,
I saw him in this play off-Broadway called Bug.
Did you see that, Jeff?
Yeah.
Fucking, he, in Bug, he was super scary,
and he was living at the time
in the same building that I was,
so I'd have to see him every once in a while,
but I saw him in that scary play,
and so when he's just resting face,
he's still very scary.
He's a very big scary man
when he's just walking down the street.
He's a big teddy bear.
I met him once, though,
in a better setting.
And yeah, he could not have been nicer
and also hilarious.
Yeah.
Yeah, you got to get a comedy together for him,
the two of you together.
If I was at all funny, that would work.
No, the first time, the first movie I made with him called Shocking Stories,
he had only read the script.
We didn't know each other at all.
And I remember we'd worked together for about three weeks,
me directing him for the first time.
And I took him to the airport when we were done, and he just looked me he was like well at least we know you can write and then he just got out of the car and
got on the airplane and that's kind of that's the relationship that we have it's really beautiful
well midnight special is in uh limited release starting this Friday.
Is that correct?
Yeah, it's in New York and L.A. and Austin.
Yes.
Starting this Friday.
And if people go out to see it, then they'll let it go more places.
So hopefully people will go see it there.
Yeah, that's great.
I think people will.
And I think the word of mouth is going to be great.
The screening the other night was packed.
You must have been very pleased with the reaction to it.
People loved it.
Yeah, it's a weird movie.
It's pretty serious for the most part
until Adam Driver shows up
and then people laugh a little bit.
He's supposed to be funny in it.
And then you know they're still watching, and that makes you feel good.
But I don't know.
You know, Sean, I live here in Austin,
so I was more nervous about this screening
just because I had, like, my real friends show up and watch it,
and I knew they would make fun of me for the rest of the year if it wasn't good.
So, yeah, they seem to like it.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
Yeah, they seem to like it.
That's awesome.
Yeah.
And thanks for being here and for sitting amongst all of these comedians.
Yeah, no, thanks for having me.
Let's start on the opposite end there.
Local comedy phenom, Chris Cubis, everybody.
What's up?
Howdy.
How's it going?
Who are you asking?
Everybody.
Alright, everybody answer Chris. How's it going?
Individually. Yes. Perfect.
Good work. I didn't get anything out of
most of them.
But yeah, because people are content, they're happy,
they're inside, it's air conditioned.
Pacing themselves. Lots of shit tonight and I appreciate
also that you guys don't seem too drunk
because Chris knows as well
as I do that there's very few
shows
at South By like this where people
aren't just shit faced. Yeah
I mean it's already six
that's a little late for this crowd normally
by six. Yeah. Austin's a little lit up No these guys are, there's already six. That's a little late for this crowd. Normally by six, Austin's a little lit up.
No, these guys are, there's something mature about this crowd.
I like it.
No, they're just, they're just high.
That's the only difference.
Oh, that's what I meant.
Smoked instead of got drunk.
That's what I meant.
They're just high.
Mature high.
They're back at the bar going, what happened to sales?
Is it this Austin?
Is it this South by
Southwest? That's why I thought a hallway
was a labyrinth.
I'm not introducing you yet. You were Tarni.
So,
Chris, thank you for being
here and always being
a great guest when I'm in town
and he comes out to LA
all the time now.
He's a big shot
and we competed on At Midnight
and we're still friends.
Yeah, we're still friends.
Ish.
Unnecessary.
I'm happy you're all sober
and I'm happy none of you
brought dogs.
This is a good day.
I've seen so many dogs.
I'm sorry,
this is just a pet peeve. Your dog
doesn't want to go to South by Southwest.
He's terrified.
He's a puppy in a sea
of drunk people.
I love dogs. Please leave them at home.
But seriously, though,
you spend the money on a platinum badge for your dog.
I think you have a right to bring that dog.
Fair enough. And force it to enjoy every minute of it.
We're waiting for Coheed in Cambria
no matter how many times you bite me.
All right, who else?
Nate Bargatze's here, everybody!
Thank you.
I yell that when I win any board game.
Doesn't even have to be Yahtzee.
I yell
Nate Bargatzee. How's it going,
Nate? It's good.
It's been fun. This is the first
South by I've been, I have not drank.
I stopped drinking
literally last South by.
And I lost my phone and stuff before it.
Last year I was here with no phone.
It was a whole thing.
I kept going into the Hilton and using the public computer like an animal.
Just, it was the early 2000s.
I don't know when their computers came around.
Were you staying at the Hilton?
No.
How'd you get into their little business center?
They were like down in the computers in the lobby.
I was having to find it.
And like I would have to check like an email or something.
And then I would check it, then I would leave again.
And it was leading up to it.
That was a nightmare,
coming to South by, that was a big problem,
where I lost my phone.
I was in L.A., lost my phone, missed my flight here.
Had to go buy a flight, like it was the 60s,
like over the counter.
I just walked to airlines, and it was like,
I need to go to Austin, do y'all have anything
that goes to Austin? And they, most were like, no need to go to Austin. Do y'all have anything that goes to Austin?
And they, most were like, no.
And then finally I found one and bought it over the counter,
which they didn't even know, like, how to do.
They were like, we haven't done this in years.
And finally it made it.
So here we are, you know?
So it's a different experience
this time around.
It's been, you know, alright.
This time you remembered
to pack a hat.
I brought a hat. I mean, I always bring this hat.
What does the V mean?
Vanderbilt. I'm a big fan
and did not go to school
there, but
I'm just on board with their
athletic program.
And
they play tonight.
So it's exciting.
I need you to do five more minutes on your hat.
Guys. I need you to stretch
out this hat thing.
I guess I want to talk to you
guys about Vanderbilt. I want you guys to all
go there.
I root for, I'm like, no.
I root for, I follow like,
it's like when you root for college sports,
it's like you have to like follow like 16 year olds.
Like on Twitter, if there's a kid that might go to Vandy,
I'll follow him on Twitter
until he does not go to Vandy, unfollow him.
And that's how I show them.
And it's brutal following children.
Are you required to tell everyone in your neighborhood that you do this?
Yeah.
My neighborhood, other neighborhoods, that's why I'm saying it now.
I like to do one nice sweep.
I follow the children for their skills.
That still doesn't sound good.
It doesn't, but he's good.
All right, you guys.
It's about time.
He just made it to the stage a second ago.
The Labyrinth King himself.
Owen Benjamin, everybody.
Thank you.
Thanks, Doug.
Thanks for being here.
So you're taking advantage of everything they have to offer here.
What's that?
You're taking advantage of everything.
South by has a lot of things to offer, like getting drunk, getting lost.
You're doing it all.
Yeah, no, I'm going big.
Yeah.
I'm going big early.
My wife's about to have a...
My wife!
I know, I love that.
I'm about to be a dad within like a week or two, so.
Yay!
So that's pretty intense.
So every text I get from her, I'm like, oh, I'm, oh, no, she's just saying hi.
So it's kind of anticlimactic until it comes out.
Do you have to like jump in a plane and fly home as soon as you get the text? She knew what she was getting into
when she got with me.
I am on the road with Doug.
No, I'll get on a plane and go home.
But I think she'd be like two weeks early at this point.
Which means she's doing a little too much walking.
Just to be safe though, can I have your phone
until this is over?
Yeah. I'm kidding. I want you to
get the text if she's
two weeks premature.
I'm really bad at sarcasm.
Like, I literally never get it.
I'm always like, oh, yeah.
Same here, hearing it.
Either.
I'm, like, so bad at it.
So I'd be like,
that's a really appropriate thing to say.
I'm like, really?
No way.
And I'll just keep saying it.
Like, I don't...
I just thought I got, like, approval.
I think
labyrinth is a sarcastic way to describe
a backstage area that's not
that terribly complicated.
It felt like a labyrinth. Yeah, that's sarcasm.
It was?
Oh, see?
See?
I thought we were having a really close friendship conversation,
and it turns out I was being tricked again.
That's all I'm here to do is trick everybody
and have some laughs.
Let's find out, though.
I already spoiled it for the audience.
You were kind of having a shirt dilemma backstage.
So what did you decide on for the prize bag?
I'm going to give someone what I'm wearing.
The shirt you have on right now?
I have these shirts, which are cool, the CISO shirts,
because they're sponsored in South by.
Yeah, so we're going to give those out.
But I felt like I wanted to do something more special,
so I'm going to give this.
This is one of my favorite shirts, so you can have it.
It's sweet.
It's got dust all over the arm
from when you banged into the labyrinth walls.
Yeah, I mean, I was on a pretty intense mission.
Frustrating trying to get here.
So yeah, I mean...
Let's take these CISO shirts,
if you don't mind picking them up.
Why don't you just toss them out
to lucky audience members?
Yeah.
Wow.
The most gentle tosser.
Just beautiful.
That was just beautiful.
I was going to ask this dude if he was with that hot chick,
but the way he snatched that shirt out of her hand,
I am certain he's not.
All right, so you're going to...
When are you going to give up your shirt?
Like, at the end or right now, I guess?
All right, so that's going in the bag.
Cool, where's the bag?
There you go.
Let me just put that right there.
And Jeff, what do you have for the bag?
It's just shameless self-promotion.
I just brought a Mondo who makes these awesome posters
out of Austin.
They've been
doing this series of vinyl and they did
a promotional release
for the film of just two songs from the score.
It's not actually just
a white cover. If you bend it, there's
an image there.
That's all I've got.
That's awesome.
If you look closely, it says Paul is dead.
Within the whiteness.
But that's very cool.
The music is, so those two tracks
are probably the perfect thing to listen to at bedtime.
I think so.
Yeah.
It's an intense movie, you guys.
All right, so it's more of that sarcasm class
We've been in session for a while
Keep up everybody
I also brought promotional music
I brought the soundtrack to Backdraft
On cassette
I brought the soundtrack to Frankie
And Johnny on cassette
And I brought Maybe soundtrack to Frankie and Johnny on cassette.
And I brought, maybe my greatest find ever,
The Adventures of MC Scat Cat and the Stray Mob on cassette.
I'm sure Paul Abdo was on there somewhere.
Yeah, but I can't believe MC Stray Cat got a whole album.
That's a double album.
It's a concept. It's kind of deep.
I'm kind of what you call
a Stray Cat head, like a big fan.
Oh, and you put that in the wrong pile.
I want the cassettes with your shirt
and everything else separate.
Because some of it, I'm not going to say what,
but some of this I'm going to set on fire.
What did you bring
Nate Bargatze? say what, but some of this I'm going to set on fire. What did you bring Nate
Bargatze?
Jeff's soundtrack is really good. I don't know
why you're going to set it on fire.
I tried to exclude that.
He's talking about my shirt.
I'm going to set that shirt on fire
and everyone's going to run from
the building.
Is it my turn now?
Yes, Nate.
Oh, so I just was like a lot of stuff from this festival.
So it's like pins for Grawlix,
those you can't, is that right?
Those who can't.
I don't know, it's like a book
about stuff that's probably passed.
From like, a bottle of water.
And since it's not good, I did a $20 bill autographed by everybody, all these guys,
and a young Eddie Pepitone also signed it as well.
So that's thrown in.
So you can have that.
There's two bags.
Yeah.
There's an extra bag in there.
Somebody's double bagging tonight.
Good luck not being treated like the homeless
by police on your way.
But yeah, all of that
is going to be someone's tonight
after we play some games
after we all answer
the following question.
Starting with Chris.
Let's start with Chris Cubis.
Last movie you saw, Chris.
I just finally saw Krampus,
which I really liked,
actually. People seem...
It's not funny that I
saw that movie. It's
really good. I saw Krampus. I liked Krampus a lot.
And then I saw Ip Man 3 the other day, which is fantastic. Except that Mike Tyson's in it. It's really good. I saw Krampus. I liked Krampus a lot. And then I saw Ip Man 3 the other day,
which is fantastic.
Except that Mike Tyson's in it. It's a period
piece, but then Mike Tyson's
just in it. It's weird
that it's set in the 1950s and that there's no
way that Mike Tyson can just not be
Mike. It's Mike Tyson. He's got a face tattoo.
He just shows up. They don't cover that up at all.
So he's in 1950s China
in a suit and Mike Tyson's face.
It really takes you out of the film.
I can see that.
Okay.
Yeah.
I hear where you're coming from.
But also from their perspective, it's probably just like an exotic villain.
Well, yeah.
I mean, sure.
Yeah.
Although Mike Tyson, pretty famous dude.
I would imagine in China people know who he is, too. Yeah, I think they do.
You're right. You win this round.
I out-logic'd you
on that joke that went nowhere. Thank you.
Nate, did you see a movie
recently?
The Reverend.
I don't know.
Revenant? I just, yeah.
I don't know. Is I just Yeah I don't know Is that embarrassing
On here
Yeah
You did see that
Yeah
Okay
That's what I saw
No I don't mind
You getting the name
Of that wrong
Is it not the reverend
What's it called
Revenant
Revenant
Maybe it was
You're being very
What if I didn't know
Revenant
Yeah
I don't say words right.
I'm glad you guys pointed it out.
All right, well, I saw that one.
I don't know what to tell you.
I voted for it for the Oscars.
I vote for the Oscars.
It's a little something a lot of people don't know about me.
We won.
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know what to say.
Sort of.
It won some awards.
It won a couple awards.
It won a couple.
But Best Picture went to Spotlight.
You didn't see that?
Oh, I did, but I didn't see it.
I saw it before that.
Okay.
You're very honest with the last movie you saw.
I didn't know we were supposed to just say,
like, if we were supposed to lie about it.
Let me rephrase the question
so we can move forward in a way that makes sense.
Expound upon a movie you've seen
at some point in your lifetime.
Was that too big a question?
I did see Mud.
I watched that.
Mud fan.
We've got a Mud fan in the house.
I watched it.
It's very exciting.
I mean, so does that count?
Yeah. You liked it. I liked it. It's very exciting. I mean, so does that count? Yeah.
That's, yeah.
You liked it.
I liked that.
I liked Mud.
And then...
Why do you think the movie was called Mud?
Well, so many reasons.
It was in...
There was a lot of mud there.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
It was the prequel.
Was it the prequel to Dirt?
Is it not prequel?
That's not the right way, right?
Yeah.
No, it's in the Joe Dirt series.
And they were going to call him Bill Mud,
but they went with just Mud
and also a completely different direction.
Like, totally...
So it was gone out of their control.
I'm sorry.
I'm the worst.
It's beautiful.
It's a beautiful story.
You know?
I bought it.
There's something about you, Nate.
In this moment,
I felt like if we were talking
about a movie you'd seen
a hundred times,
if I said,
why was it called that?
You'd be like,
I don't know why they called it that.
I don't think that's something
you worry about.
I understand why they call
Batman versus Superman.
I will understand that.
But those are the ones
that I know. The ones that
the reverend, I have no idea
why they called it that, but
I don't know
what that word means, but I like
Leonardo DiCaprio.
So I'll go see. I shouldn't be here
to be honest, but I don't know why.
It's, you know, but we're in it.
It's happening.
Make the best of it.
Yeah.
Jeff, have you managed to catch any movies while you're here other than your own?
Sadly, no.
You're just doing tons of press and things like this.
I just try and only watch my own films over and over and over again.
It just keeps me focused.
No, I've got a five-year-old, and so we have Friday night movie night.
And so the last thing we watched was Sword in the Stone, the Disney film.
It's actually really good.
It's actually pretty good.
It's a good one, right?
Yeah.
I know what that involves.
That one.
I would please do tell us a little bit of the story
Of the sword and the stone
I don't want to give it away
But it involves those two things
It goes around the sword
So Batman, Superman, sword and stone
You just like movies that are like
Here are two things
These are the two things.
Not going to make you follow it around.
You don't have to pay. You can leave
during it if you want and come back
and still be caught up.
That's the type of movies I like.
You know?
Oh, and you're the last one on this round of intense questioning.
I actually watched Spotlight today and Room today.
The way you're saying them, it sounds like there's movies called Spotlight today and Room today.
Yeah.
Spotlight and Room.
You like to bone up for this.
You watch two of the most depressing.
Do you like children?
spotlight in the room. Do you like to bone up for this?
You watch two of the most depressing.
Do you like children?
I'm trying to get these out of the way before I'm a dad because... That is a great
call. Let me give you a list. I don't want to be holding
a baby. I can give you a fucking list
of things to not watch. Right.
Because you're going to be a new dad.
Oh my God. Yeah. Mystic River,
I'm trying to bang out quick.
Just trying to get all the dark ones out. No, no, I'm trying to bang out quick. Just trying to get
all the dark ones out.
No, no, no, no, no.
Gone, baby, gone
is the place to start.
Yeah.
Uh, yeah.
Lorenzo's Oil's a tough one.
There's Southlake.
You just gotta hope
your new baby doesn't need
Lorenzo's Oil
because that stuff's
hard to come by.
But so what, did you say a movie or you're just too
busy worrying about the no oh you watch the movies in the room i know i watched this you watch room
in the spotlight and uh i literally watched them back to back because i read which one was funny
between the two which one was more laughs i thought the room the room had a lot of laughs
um spotlight obviously was funny,
but there was some serious parts.
You know, like when that one dude,
when he was like,
that was me in 92 who wrote that,
who had access to all that information.
I was like, ah.
But everything else was really funny.
See, I'm getting better at sarcasm.
No, that was too much yes anding.
Went along with all of that, yes. But better at sarcasm. No, that was too much yes-anding. Just went along with all of that.
The Room is awesome.
I thought The Room was great.
It's a really intense movie.
The same director did a movie called Frank
that I enjoyed very much.
And another movie that people say
is also terrific that I haven't seen yet,
something about Richard, what Richard did,
I think.
Anyway, go deep on Lenny Abramson if you haven't seen yet. Something about Richard. What Richard did, I think. Anyway, go deep on Lenny Abramson
if you haven't.
I think all of his movies
are worth a look.
And that wraps up the
What Was the Last Movie You Saw
portion of the show.
Over.
Let the games begin!
Let the games begin!
Gentlemen, there's some name tags in this audience.
Some people, yeah, go ahead, put them up.
Some people went to a lot of trouble, worked very hard.
And then there's this young lady in the front row.
But, you know, and then there's some people
that are just holding up their Southwest credentials,
which does indeed count as a name tag.
But go ahead and go grab whoever you'd like to play for.
Chris wants the lit up Star Wars one.
And while we sort the rest of this out, we'll go to a brief commercial message.
We'll be right back.
Hey, everybody.
Every week you hear me read ads for great companies like Roku, Loot Crate, and HBO Now.
These ads work because you know I wouldn't tell you to buy something I didn't believe in,
and then listeners like you actually go and buy these products.
It's a win for everybody, and it allows me to keep making this show and to keep it free.
Your company can be a winner, too, just by advertising on my podcast.
The company that books my ads is called Midroll.
Because of them, I can focus my efforts on making a great show.
They also take good care of our advertisers with excellent customer service.
And podcast ads work.
75% of my listeners bought a product
they heard about on a podcast.
Check out their website at midroll.com
and then click contact to let them know
you're interested in advertising on Doug Loves Movies.
They also represent a bunch of other great shows
like Getting Doug With High.
That's midroll.com slash Doug.
midroll.com slash Doug. midroll.com slash Doug.
Back to the show.
All right, we're back.
Great job, everyone involved.
Who are you playing for there, Chris?
I'm playing for Return of the Josh.
He's got a lot of lights lit up
on a really good Return of the Jedi poster.
And it was the only one I could see in the dark.
Yeah, he really put some lights on there.
Good job, dude.
And then Chris just threw it down like it was...
I placed it down.
Like it was like January 1st.
Christmas lights?
All right, Nate? 10 Clear? Alright, Nate?
Tin, clear-filled
lane, right?
And, yeah, it looks like
a lot of monsters come in many forms.
Is that
real or is that not? I don't know.
And so, yeah, I'm playing
for this. Pretty exciting.
You could convince me this is
the actual name of the movie and I'd be like, alright.
I'll go buy a
10 Clairfield Lane ticket.
I hear great things about
10 Cloverfield Lane and
I can't wait to see it next week or
something.
Jeff.
I believe this is Maddie
Maddie Poppins.
Yeah, Maddie is a typical Austinite male
with a big old beard.
And he's got the Mary Poppins hat and outfit.
It's adorable.
And he's changed this here.
See, he calls it, it's from the Masterbate collection.
But I was far less impressed with that
than I was that it's actually in THX.
Which is really the way I prefer
to watch films.
Yeah, if it's not in THX,
it's not for me. It's garbage. Yeah.
Owen, who are you playing for?
Hold that up for me so I'm taking pictures from a Twitter account
This is my little Tony
Friendship is magic
I really liked your picture on here
Yeah, that's a good shot of me
Todd Berry's on there
because that would be a good guess
that he'd be here today
John Erler from Master Pancake
Chris Cubis, of course.
He was right on about that.
But Chris couldn't see that one because it was
too dark in the audience.
So he went with the lights.
Chris, you would have picked this if you saw it, right?
If I saw my face, yeah, for sure.
Well, now that I see my face. Can we switch?
Yeah. Okay.
Thanks, Tony.
Fuck you, Josh.
So now I'm playing for Return of the Josh.
Yeah, there you go.
Very excited.
Yeah.
I know which person got the better part of that deal, but I There you go. Very excited. Yeah. I know which person
got the better part
of that deal,
but I'm not going
to say anything.
Because, you know,
anybody can win this thing.
It's anybody's game.
And we'll see what happens.
I'd like to start
with something called
cable billing,
a.k.a. Comcastaway.
Cable companies are pretty strange with their listings
of movies and TV shows and stuff.
And at Micah Myers.
Micah, not Michael Myers.
Not the stabbing man from Halloween.
The stabbing man?
Stabbing man.
Because he starts out a boy, but I don't want to give away...
What do you think that would be about, Nate? The stabbing man?
Is that a...
What?
That's what it's called.
The stabbing man.
I don't... Alright.
No, Nate would only know this movie
was called The Stabbing Man and the Holiday.
All right, so...
I don't even understand that you're making fun of me.
I don't think anybody did.
I don't even know what was going on there.
Okay, so...
Anyway, Micah Myers sent me...
Started a Twitter just to send me this screen grab.
Maybe he already had Twitter.
I don't know.
But his cable company lists the following people as the leads of a motion picture.
And you guys, as soon as you think you know it, just yell it out.
Just say it into your microphone.
This is just between the people on stage, nobody in the audience,
and the yelling outside, I promise you, is just passersby. There's just weird yelling
on 6th Street a lot.
Ben Affleck stars in this movie, according to Micah's cable company.
Pearl Harbor.
He did star in that.
Jeff...
Reindeer Games.
The other one that he did star in.
Jeff Anderson was also one of the stars of this film.
And then...
Mallrats.
And then...
No.
And then Diedrich Bader
was the third name listed
for a motion picture
from 2001.
And I'll tell you who really
starred in it
as soon as I can see all of your faces.
Julie?
No.
Diedrich Bader.
The genuine straight-up star of this movie.
That's an amazing name.
Well, I mean, I know who that is.
I just can't think of a movie with him and Ben Affleck in it.
I don't know who that is.
Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes.
So, not Mallrats, which I already said.
Clerks.
Clerks 2.
No.
Jay and Brian Bob Strike Back.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.
That's correct.
How you feeling now, Josh?
How you feeling, Tony?
Great.
Thank you.
I could have sworn it was reindeer games.
Yeah.
That game, you know, Chris, maybe you've heard that game before,
but it's basically the cable companies have the weirdest,
they just randomly pick some names from the cast,
and it can be pretty funny sometimes.
Like in the case of that, that was pretty hilarious.
and it can be pretty funny sometimes.
Like in the case of that, that was pretty hilarious.
Jay and Silent Bob don't make top billing in a movie.
Call Jay and Silent Bob.
Strike back.
Well, they're striking at Ben Affleck, clearly,
so he's the lead.
All right, let's play ABC These Nuts, you guys.
Yeah.
It's a crowd favorite, and I don't know why.
I have... It's a spelling game.
We're going to start with Chris Cubis
and then work our way down in this direction.
So, Nate, you'll be second, and then Jeff and Owen.
And we're going to spell out something,
and by that I mean when the next letter of what we're going to spell out something. And by that I mean,
when the next letter of what we're spelling comes to you,
you name any movie that begins with that letter
and you advance in this game.
Sounds easy. Some can't.
And then...
If you say a movie that matches with me
on this piece of paper that I wrote down ahead of time,
then you automatically win the whole game.
And it really moves the show along.
So I encourage you to
think like I think and match me.
Remind me again on
thes, thes and a's.
Thes are T's only.
But there is a T
in what we're going to spell in honor
of Jeff Nichols being here. We're going to spell in honor of Jeff Nichols being here.
We're going to spell Midnight Special.
Thank you.
So Chris, start us off with A.
Movie begins with M.
It's just between the guys on stage.
Please don't yell out.
I know you all have a movie with M in your head right now.
I'm going to say Mallrats since I already said it.
Yeah, why not?
I'm going to say Mallrats since I already said it. Yeah, why not?
I'm going to say Machete.
The next letter is I in Midnight Special.
Nate, so just name any movie that begins
with the letter I.
Any movie at all that begins
with the letter I.
I don't even... Decent Proposal?
Yes!
Yes!
That's like a real...
Well, at the very least, you just got your participant badge.
D is the next letter for Jeff in Midnight Special in New York and Los Angeles and Austin this Friday.
Deer Hunter.
Yeah.
What?
For D?
I'm pretty sure
it's The Deer Hunter.
You know how I am.
I'm lenient
during the first round.
I can't say the word lenient,
but I am it.
So yeah,
just give us another one,
Jeff,
that begins with D.
Gosh.
Daredevil?
Yes.
As long as we're talking Ben Affleck,
might as well mention Daredevil.
And we could also go with
Dazed and Confused.
So we were lining up a little bit
there to Ben Affleck's.
Alright, N is the next letter
for Owen.
Naked gun.
Really not learning from the past.
Is it
the naked gun? I'm afraid it is, yeah.
Yeah, I know.
And also it's got
more words in it. Nightmare on Elm Street. Oh, wait a minute. Yeah, you're gonna And also, it's got more words in it.
Nightmare on Elm Street.
Oh, wait a minute.
Yeah, you're going to just do this all day.
Is it all the?
These are all thes?
That's an uh.
Wait, it has to be one word and not have a the in it?
It doesn't have to be one word.
I don't know where that came from.
It just has to be...
Yeah, days of confused was three words.
Or two words and an ampersand,
depending on how complicated the marquee is.
Nowhere to run?
Yeah, I think so.
Is that the thing with Owen Wilson?
Yeah, there were some people in it.
Lake Bell?
Wasn't that what that was called?
No.
No Escape.
Oh, shit.
Nowhere to Run, I believe, is a John Claw Van Damme movie.
Yeah, it's Van Damme.
Okay.
All right, you guys.
This will get smoother.
It'll be fine.
I went with Nadine for my N.
Starring Kim Basinger.
I is the next letter for Chris Cubas.
I'll say Inside Out.
Good one.
You got an aww in the audience.
Aww, I like emotions.
Aww, I like emotions.
I went with a cool motion picture called It Might Get Loud.
G for Nate.
What? G?
Mm-hmm.
Just start, you know, just go, good.
You know it'll just come right out of you.
Gigolo?
Isn't that a movie?
I bet it's a movie.
There's a movie that sounds almost exactly like that that was also mentioned just moments ago.
But I forgot a very crucial piece of information.
No, I'm not going to give out a lifeline.
But I am going to say, try one more time.
Just any G.
I was just hoping that would be it.
Something.
All right.
Get that whooping crane
out of here.
This man's about
to have a baby.
Or here you're bringing
your baby.
What did you say?
Is it
Good Night Charlie?
Yeah.
Is that a movie? That sounds like it should be.
It sounds like we'd be going
to see that during this festival.
To be like, and someone would be like, I just wrote it
on a pen and paper.
I did it old school. And you'd be like, that's cool, man.
I'll write a movie called
Good Night Charlie. I can't wait. You'll be back in the next game. It's alright. It'll write a movie called Goodnight Charlie. I can't wait.
You'll be back in the next game. It's alright.
It'll be okay.
It's the biggest relief I've ever felt in my life.
So Jeff takes over.
We still have G, so you get G, Jeff.
Goonies.
Oh.
Stop clapping.
Oh, God. Oh. Stop clapping. Oh, God, no.
Goonies.
No, okay, okay.
But just let me take a second.
In your defense,
everybody be sure to see the midnight special.
Especially if you're a big fan of the mud
or the take shelter.
Oh, shit, T.
Anyway.
It's coming up later.
Yeah, give me another G.
We could stick with Ben Affleck. Wasn't he in that movie
Jiggly?
I really thought you were going to say
Good Will Hunting.
But yeah, he was in
Jiggly.
I went with Ghost of California, which is a documentary
that was shot partially in San Jose
where I'll be at the improv on
March 24th
and 26th.
I had to leave the theme
for that one, but I think the rest of them are good.
H for you, Owen.
Harry and the Hendersons.
Nice.
Well played.
You're lucky they didn't go with the working title,
which was the hairiest of the Hendersons.
I picked Heartbreak Hotel.
Yeah, shot right here in Austin in 1988.
Tea, here we go.
A tea, any tea title.
Chris?
The Goonies.
I'll take it.
I went with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
I should have seen
that one coming.
Colon,
The Beginning.
Yeah,
the sixth in the series.
All right,
we move over to Jeff
for the S.
Any movie that begins
with S.
Sicario.
Sicario,
yeah, yeah.
I'm probably
pronouncing it wrong. You probably know better here in Texas how to pronounce it. No, I don't, yeah, yeah. I'm probably pronouncing it wrong.
You probably know better here in Texas.
No, I don't.
Oh, okay.
I went with suburbia.
Yeah, I did.
P is the next letter for you there, Owen.
The Pan's Labyrinth.
Parkland. C, Chris.
Trying to think of any of them that were shot in Austin.
E, E, E. Oh, well that changes everything.
E, wrong vitamin. Still have nothing shot in Austin,
so I will say E.T., The Extraterrestrial.
Oh, they didn't shoot Richard
Linklater's new movie, Everybody Wants Some here in Austin? They definitely did, I just never E.T. the Extraterrestrial. Oh, they didn't shoot Richard Linklater's new movie Everybody Wants Some here in Austin?
They definitely did.
I just never heard of them.
C is the next letter for Jeff.
Texas Film.
I'm going to say C.
You're not going to have this.
Charlie Varick.
Oh, no, I don't have that.
It's Walter Matthau.
Walter Matthau is the best.
I went with...
I just want to make sure I get this title right.
Children of the Corn Four.
Urban Harvest?
The Gathering.
Oh.
All right, so I is the next letter to you, Owen.
Interstellar.
That's a good one.
Good job.
You got McConaughey's in there.
He's a favorite around here.
I went with Idiocracy.
Hey, Chris, you can do this.
Yeah, I don't know my Texas movies well enough,
but I'll do All the President's Men.
No.
I mean, yes.
Yeah, well, fuck you then.
I don't want to tell you.
It's an A, right?
I'm trying to win for Tony.
What are the odds that he would say a title
that has the same first two words?
Because I went with All the boys love Mandy Lane.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And finally, L is our last letter
for Chris.
No, Jeff.
No, I'd like you to try.
Okay.
No, Jeff, do you have an L?
It's not the Lost Boys, is it?
No, because that's a T.
It certainly is a though.
It's a T.
No, I'm saying...
Jeez. It's actually those Lost's actually but i do love those i love the texas setting of lost boys when they're on that roller coaster on the beach texas thing um hell um
just anything that begins with L. I mean, it's... I'm trying to do the Texas thing.
Like in France, your movie, they retitled it Le Mud.
They may have, actually.
I mean, nothing's shot in Texas.
I can't think of anything shot in Texas.
Yeah, this is a tough one, but also they deserve a plug,
so I'm happy to say it.
No guesses?
Well, I mean, I could say lots of L movies, but not...
Sure, just say one. Just say any one.
No, just kidding.
I said Lost Boys.
You can't.
It's called The Lost Boys.
No way! I was a joke.
God, man.
I'm a moron.
It's the moron.
Well, now...
What was that one movie with Tom Hanks?
Oh, this is a fun game.
Last Away.
Larry Crump.
Larry Crump?
Larry Crump?
Is that it?
I've never even seen that movie.
I don't think he's...
Yeah, Tom Hanks and Larry Crump.
Okay. You did it Larry Crown. Okay.
You did it, Jeff.
Thanks.
But you win nothing.
I don't deserve it.
You drank fizzy lifting drinks.
I went for my L.
I went with a little local product
that's a lot of fun called Laser Team.
Laser Team. Laser Team.
Yeah, that was awesome.
Great job, everybody.
I think we're doing pretty good on time here.
So this last game we're going to play today
has a special twist that I almost added to this last game,
but I decided to save it.
Each of you can use the person whose name tag you chose
as a lifeline once in this game.
So if you can't think of an answer,
you can go to your lifeline
and maybe stick around for another round
and then maybe think of an answer.
Because it's hard to think of a lot of movies
that one person has been in,
but that's the game we're playing.
It's called Last Man Stanton.
Got a few people on Twitter suggesting names to me today,
so I'll ask them in the order that I think I saw them.
If I don't like the first one, well, we'll see.
Hopefully we'll like it.
But a person in the audience is going to name an actor or actress,
and we all just take turns. I'm going to play along, but I don't get a lifeline, so I'll
probably... Let's not make predictions. But I like to play along, and we'll just take
turns naming movies that that person was in. And you've got a few seconds to think about
it. You don't have to speed through it, so don't panic.
What else do I need to say about it? Where are we going to start? Chris won the game before the last
game, right? Yeah. We'll start with you, Chris.
We'll go the opposite order. It'll come to me and then
Owen, Jeff, Nate.
Also, this person might not have gotten in here today,
but I think they probably did.
Is Sweet Krug's here?
Sweet K-R-U-E-G-Z?
Yeah, that's you?
What is Sweet Krug's short for?
It's just a mix of last names.
A mix of last names.
So it's you and a spousal person?
Mom and dad.
It's like Mira Max.
That's Harvey Weinstein's parents' names,
is Mira and Max.
You run your parents' Twitter account?
No, you put their names together
and came up with a nice name for yourself.
Good job.
I don't need to know more.
But thank you for reaching out to me
and subjecting yourself to this abuse.
What is the name of an actor or actress
or director,
but that doesn't happen very often,
but who do you think we should play
Last Man Standinganton with?
You haven't heard
Arnold Schwarzenegger yet?
Ask me how many times I've heard Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Huh?
Okay.
I'm going to go to the second person
on the list.
I apologize, but it just feels like I play Arnold Schwarzenegger all the time.
You know what? I'll recuse myself if that's who we end up going with.
Did you guys, how did they light up on stage?
Did they seem excited or saddened by Schwarzenegger?
Sad. Sad? All right, let's get it. Sorry, dude.
Where is...
That's okay.
I like how you just made him have to explain his Twitter name for zero reason at all.
That's all
that happened.
He just reached out to me on Twitter. I thought,
this guy's gonna have something fresh,
something exciting.
Where is...
at Colin underscore MCL.
Front row, enthusiastic.
I don't know why I'm judging you against each other.
I want you to take fucking Sweet Krug's suggestion
and mail it to his parents
with his head in it.
No.
Sometimes I work part-time at the Museum of the Weird.
I sit in a cage and it says,
World's Angriest Stoner.
People throw nickels at me.
Why is your name Colin underscore MCL?
Because your name is Colin first name?
Colin first name, last name McLaughlin.
Too many characters.
Too many characters, yeah.
That's how I describe Austin.
Okay, so do you have a name that's better than Arnold Schwarzenegger?
Don't say it yet.
But I do like where you're going.
I'm just thinking now, if there's anyone else named Forrest,
if you say the films of Forrest Gump,
I will jump over there.
I will grab your neck.
I'm sorry, the Forrest Gump.
Who's that guy over there?
Forrest Gump?
No, that's the Forrest Gump.
He's just a gump that lives in the middle of the forest.
You gotta answer riddles to pass him.
Forrest Whitaker?
That's what you're throwing out there?
Alright, so let's look at the panel.
Do they seem more confident with Forrest Whitaker?
I like it.
Alright.
We're gonna go Forrest Whitaker.
You should look at my helpline and see if she's fine with it.
Because I'm gonna be going to go Forest Whitaker You should look at my helpline And see if she's fine with it Because I'm going to be going to her pretty quick
Alright so we start with Chris though
And maybe that will help you think of some stuff
I'm sure it will
Chris let's have a Forest Whitaker
I'll go Ghost Dog
Way of the Samurai.
All right.
Full title.
Extra points for difficulty.
The what?
Samurai what?
How's it go?
Oh, it's Ghost Dog, The Way of the Samurai.
The Way of the Samurai, okay.
I would not have attempted that one.
Nate, Forrest Whitaker. I think I do know. I would not have attempted that one. Nate?
Forrest Whitaker.
I think I do know.
Panic Room?
Is that?
Yes!
All right, I did one.
It's all coming together.
I think I can speak for all of us when I say that we're grateful
we're not playing Jared Leto.
Is he also in Panic Room?
I don't even know.
He just doesn't have his Panic Room.
Was he?
Yeah, he was the one with the braids.
Oh.
Like Forrest Whitaker's part.
That was the last movie I saw was Panic Room,
to be honest.
No, I'm joking.
I was everything.
What?
Did you notice that's Kristen Stewart
as Jodie Foster's daughter?
No, I did not know a lot of it.
There you go.
It was a wild guess, to be honest,
so it just worked out.
No.
All right, Jeff.
The...
Last King of Scum?
Uh-huh.
Oscar winner for that one.
Very good.
What do you got for us, Owen?
I will go with Good Morning Vietnam.
Okay.
Oh. Guy says thank you. Is that who you're playing for?
Is that Sweet?
Oh, okay.
Nice.
Wait a second.
The guy who said Arnold Schwarzenegger, this is your name tag?
No, you have to go to Cedar Park.
Oh, okay.
It's the same area.
Yeah, they're like right next to each other.
They're like conjoined twins.
Okay, enough.
I'm trying to think of a Forest Whitaker film.
He was in...
Oh, I got it.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Well played.
Chris?
That comes to me, yes.
I am going to say
The Last Stand
starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Wow, okay, yeah.
That's a good poll.
Thank you.
You're welcome, sweet.
You're welcome, sweet.
Nate, do you have another one, or is it Lifeline time?
It's going to be Lifeline time.
All right, where's Claire?
Clara?
You here, Clara?
You don't have a Forest Whitaker?
Like, no one's even whispering one in your ear right now or anything?
A bunch of people do I was shocked
Somebody wouldn't try to help out
Don't let anybody else yell out, just Clara
Okay, Clara's got one
The Crying Game
Yeah
Do you want to go with that, Nate?
I don't know if I want to go with it
No, I would like to go
I'll be honest with you.
So you're going with
The Crying Game?
Can I hold on to it?
I just need you to tell me
briefly the plot.
Yes, The Crying Game.
What is the plot
of The Crying Game?
Oh, let me tell you something.
It is a tearjerker.
It's,
I don't know what it,
you know,
it's him,
he's in it,
does good. Wait, I might have seen it.
Is it Spy something?
No.
I'm giving other movies a...
Yeah, don't say anymore. That's enough.
Good job. Good job, Claire.
Thanks, Claire.
All right.
Back to Jeff. Do you got another one, Jeff?
Lee Daniels,
The Butler.
I like your full title usage.
Sorry, sorry.
I was holding on to that one too late.
You wouldn't have tossed that Lee Daniels on there, though.
That's all I had.
You would have said Lee Daniels, The Butler?
Yeah.
Now I think I might have to talk to my man Josh.
All right.
Let's go out to Josh.
I believe you're right.
With Jude Law.
Well done, Josh.
Repo Man.
Yes, you're still in the game, Owen.
You're the man, Josh.
Thank you.
You're my Repo Man.
You just repossessed me.
Yeah, and can you lock him up
until somebody comes to get him?
Can you lose the paperwork?
I'm going to go back
because he's just been in so much lately that it's all a blur to me.
I can just always see him running in his suit, getting ready to pull his gun out.
Oh, he's on the shield for a while.
That keeps jumping into my head.
God damn it.
So I'm going to go back to when he took down Fast Eddie Felsen in a little round of pool.
He swindled him in The Color of Money.
The Color of Money.
Thank you.
So we're back over there, Chris.
Yeah.
I'm trying to remember if the movie has a subtitle.
Ooh.
And I don't want to fuck this up by risking it.
So I'm going to just go with a different one
and say The Great Debaters?
Was that the name of that movie?
I'm sure it was.
Denzel Washington?
I'm not going to argue with you.
Okay, thank you.
We got a singing fact check back there.
Yes.
How's it going, Nate?
He was sitting on two movies.
I had a couple over the back pocket.
I'll go.
Still not really positive who he is.
But...
I...
Any chance...
He was... And... I, any chance, he was, any chance he was Home Alone 2.
Any chance.
He did some stuff.
He directed it.
Produced it, maybe.
Did he produce it?
Do we know?
Nate, I'm going to need the full title.
Oh, of the Home Alone 2?
Home Alone 2? Yeah.
Home Alone 2.
Lost in New York?
Yes.
Yay!
He wasn't in that though, right? No, no, no.
I just pictured it.
I just wanted you to have a minor victory.
I'll be honest with you, that felt pretty good.
Throwing me a bone in there.
All right.
But yeah,
good attempt though.
Yeah.
And we'll call
somebody a shithead
on your behalf
for Clara.
Jeff?
I've got one,
but I'm not
100% sure.
So I'm going to go
to Matty real fast
just to get him in.
Oh, okay.
I like the way you play.
Unless you don't know
and then I'll take it back.
What?
Miracle at St. Anna?
The Spike Lee movie?
I don't know if he was in it.
I mean, there's like eight black people in that movie
so there's a good chance
I'm just saying.
Just like playing the odds, but I don't...
What do we think?
Yes or no to him being in Miracle of St.
Anna?
It was a theatrical movie?
Yeah, that's Spike Lee.
It's like a World War II Spike Lee movie.
Alright. Yeah, if no one
doesn't think he wasn't in it.
I don't think he was, but I don't care.
Okay.
We got a hard note from the audience.
Yeah.
All right, Owen, you got another one?
This is brutal.
I got one I think maybe, but my go-to is Repo Man 2.
Was he in Searching for Bobby Fisher?
No, that's Lawrence Fishburne maybe?
I almost got it.
Yeah, so close.
Sorry.
I was thinking, yeah,
Pockups now is Fishburne.
I was like, damn it.
I got to fuck with him.
That's it.
Wow.
I want to put him in...
I'm going to cast him in a movie.
And you guys can agree or disagree.
I think he should be in that movie, Bobby,
that had a huge cast, including Zac Efron.
There's a good chance.
He's in it, right?
I don't know.
No, he is.
Uh-huh, uh.
I love people looking it up on their phones.
But I have a good feeling about it, but we've got to move on.
Is everybody else out at this point?
I think so.
I'm not out.
No, yeah, Jeff is in,
and Chris, you're still in.
Well, you've never named something
in place of Miracle at St. Anna?
Birdie.
Okay.
Oh.
Can I just give him a compliment
that he's such a good actor
that you don't remember him?
That's actually how good of an actor he is
that you just don't even think of him.
He disappears into the park.
That's from a real director saying it, not just an asshole
like me.
I thought I was fine
with Miracle of St. Anna.
I was too.
I thought the no was for Bobby.
No, the nope was before.
I don't give a fuck. Why are we doing this?
So it's me, yeah?
Yeah.
He's in a little Jean-Claude Van Damme film
called Bloodsport.
Oh, okay.
I've been sitting on that one.
That is awesome.
Well, I think Jeff might have another one, though.
He went to his lifeline, but he sounded confident he might have one more.
I can't remember if he's in this or not.
Does he have a part in Adventures in Babysitting?
I don't think so.
No.
Maybe.
Wait, wait, wait.
Maybe.
There's a black...
Well, he's not the tow truck driver.
Is he the bad...
Who's the bad guy?
No, he's not in it
Yeah sorry
I lost
How are you guys this smart
This isn't smart
That's not smart
You guys are literally like
Money is not the thing
You intellectuals
And your knowledge of adventures
And babysitting
Make me sick
Alright so
We're calling Chris Cubis the winner
Sorry Matty
Real quick Does Battlefield Earth Have a subtitle Alright, so we're calling Chris Cubis the winner. Sorry, Matty.
Real quick, does Battlefield Earth have a subtitle?
I thought it was like Battlefield Earth 2021 or something.
But he's definitely in that.
Okay, yeah, it's straight up Battlefield Earth.
What else did we miss?
Vantage Point.
Taken 3.
That's where he's a cop.
Hey, Tony, you got anything?
Southpaw.
Southfucking paw.
Yeah, we got Taken 3 already.
Phone booth.
What?
Phone booth.
Zoo?
Zulu?
Phone booth.
Phone booth? Phone booth.
Yeah, someone said take a three.
You should be.
Yeah, no one should ever say take a three.
For any reason.
Who's yelling roots? Yeah, well, the man's worked a lot.
He's very versatile, and he also directs sometimes,
but I couldn't pull any of the titles that he's directed,
but he's directed a couple of movies.
Oh, Hope Floats?
He directed that?
I think so.
I think he did, yeah, yeah.
There you go.
I'm working on a movie called Sad Sinks.
Because you like to be the opposite only?
Yeah.
Wait.
I don't know.
No, I guess.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Okay.
Let's get the prize bag to whoever Chris is playing for.
For Tony.
