Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:38 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?
Starting point is 00:01:01 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.
Starting point is 00:01:20 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
Starting point is 00:01:36 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.
Starting point is 00:01:58 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
Starting point is 00:02:17 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
Starting point is 00:02:48 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.
Starting point is 00:03:06 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?
Starting point is 00:03:33 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
Starting point is 00:03:51 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...
Starting point is 00:04:12 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,
Starting point is 00:04:46 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
Starting point is 00:05:13 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
Starting point is 00:05:27 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.
Starting point is 00:05:44 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
Starting point is 00:05:59 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,
Starting point is 00:06:23 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.
Starting point is 00:06:46 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.
Starting point is 00:07:05 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.
Starting point is 00:07:29 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
Starting point is 00:07:52 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,
Starting point is 00:08:17 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
Starting point is 00:08:35 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.
Starting point is 00:09:01 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.
Starting point is 00:09:53 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
Starting point is 00:10:10 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?
Starting point is 00:10:25 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.
Starting point is 00:10:44 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?
Starting point is 00:10:59 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
Starting point is 00:11:14 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.
Starting point is 00:11:29 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
Starting point is 00:11:56 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.
Starting point is 00:12:10 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.
Starting point is 00:12:26 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.
Starting point is 00:12:43 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.
Starting point is 00:12:52 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.
Starting point is 00:13:01 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...
Starting point is 00:13:16 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.
Starting point is 00:13:33 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.
Starting point is 00:13:51 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?
Starting point is 00:14:10 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.
Starting point is 00:14:26 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.
Starting point is 00:14:40 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.
Starting point is 00:15:02 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.
Starting point is 00:15:36 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.
Starting point is 00:15:52 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
Starting point is 00:16:12 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.
Starting point is 00:16:28 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?
Starting point is 00:16:50 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
Starting point is 00:17:08 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
Starting point is 00:17:23 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.
Starting point is 00:17:37 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.
Starting point is 00:17:56 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
Starting point is 00:18:10 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.
Starting point is 00:18:22 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.
Starting point is 00:18:36 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!
Starting point is 00:19:04 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.
Starting point is 00:19:20 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.
Starting point is 00:19:46 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.
Starting point is 00:20:04 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
Starting point is 00:20:23 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
Starting point is 00:20:45 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
Starting point is 00:21:01 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
Starting point is 00:21:18 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.
Starting point is 00:21:33 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.
Starting point is 00:21:55 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.
Starting point is 00:22:17 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.
Starting point is 00:22:33 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.
Starting point is 00:22:45 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.
Starting point is 00:23:12 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.
Starting point is 00:23:29 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?
Starting point is 00:23:39 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.
Starting point is 00:23:53 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.
Starting point is 00:24:16 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.
Starting point is 00:24:35 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.
Starting point is 00:24:53 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.
Starting point is 00:25:10 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?
Starting point is 00:25:42 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
Starting point is 00:26:06 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.
Starting point is 00:26:23 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.
Starting point is 00:26:40 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
Starting point is 00:26:59 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.
Starting point is 00:27:24 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.
Starting point is 00:27:42 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
Starting point is 00:27:59 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.
Starting point is 00:28:19 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.
Starting point is 00:28:44 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
Starting point is 00:29:02 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...
Starting point is 00:29:18 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
Starting point is 00:29:34 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.
Starting point is 00:29:53 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.
Starting point is 00:30:05 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.
Starting point is 00:30:22 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
Starting point is 00:30:31 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
Starting point is 00:30:39 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.
Starting point is 00:30:52 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.
Starting point is 00:31:07 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.
Starting point is 00:31:16 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?
Starting point is 00:31:35 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.
Starting point is 00:31:45 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...
Starting point is 00:31:56 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.
Starting point is 00:32:09 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.
Starting point is 00:32:24 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
Starting point is 00:32:34 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
Starting point is 00:32:44 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
Starting point is 00:32:59 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?
Starting point is 00:33:26 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.
Starting point is 00:33:52 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
Starting point is 00:34:15 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
Starting point is 00:34:31 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.
Starting point is 00:35:00 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
Starting point is 00:35:14 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.
Starting point is 00:35:28 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
Starting point is 00:35:39 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,
Starting point is 00:36:05 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.
Starting point is 00:36:22 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
Starting point is 00:36:39 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
Starting point is 00:36:53 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.
Starting point is 00:37:19 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.
Starting point is 00:37:45 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.
Starting point is 00:38:17 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
Starting point is 00:38:38 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.
Starting point is 00:39:03 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.
Starting point is 00:39:22 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.
Starting point is 00:39:38 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
Starting point is 00:39:53 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.
Starting point is 00:40:13 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,
Starting point is 00:40:38 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
Starting point is 00:40:58 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.
Starting point is 00:41:13 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.
Starting point is 00:41:43 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,
Starting point is 00:41:51 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
Starting point is 00:42:14 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?
Starting point is 00:42:36 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...
Starting point is 00:42:49 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.
Starting point is 00:43:08 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.
Starting point is 00:43:47 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...
Starting point is 00:44:01 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.
Starting point is 00:44:16 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.
Starting point is 00:44:36 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.
Starting point is 00:44:54 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,
Starting point is 00:45:18 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.
Starting point is 00:45:37 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.
Starting point is 00:45:59 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...
Starting point is 00:46:15 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.
Starting point is 00:46:37 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.
Starting point is 00:46:55 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.
Starting point is 00:47:11 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...
Starting point is 00:47:26 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.
Starting point is 00:47:52 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,
Starting point is 00:48:04 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.
Starting point is 00:48:21 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.
Starting point is 00:48:41 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?
Starting point is 00:48:53 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.
Starting point is 00:49:16 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.
Starting point is 00:49:30 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.
Starting point is 00:49:47 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.
Starting point is 00:50:17 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.
Starting point is 00:50:42 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.
Starting point is 00:51:10 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
Starting point is 00:51:23 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.
Starting point is 00:51:42 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.
Starting point is 00:52:00 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.
Starting point is 00:52:18 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?
Starting point is 00:52:38 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
Starting point is 00:53:00 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,
Starting point is 00:53:16 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.
Starting point is 00:53:43 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,
Starting point is 00:53:54 we move over to Jeff for the S. Any movie that begins with S. Sicario. Sicario, yeah, yeah. I'm probably
Starting point is 00:54:04 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.
Starting point is 00:54:28 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.
Starting point is 00:54:48 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.
Starting point is 00:55:06 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.
Starting point is 00:55:28 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,
Starting point is 00:55:48 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
Starting point is 00:55:59 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.
Starting point is 00:56:12 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...
Starting point is 00:56:32 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.
Starting point is 00:57:04 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.
Starting point is 00:57:18 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.
Starting point is 00:57:55 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.
Starting point is 00:58:08 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.
Starting point is 00:58:28 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.
Starting point is 00:58:52 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.
Starting point is 00:59:10 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
Starting point is 00:59:40 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?
Starting point is 01:00:10 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.
Starting point is 01:00:31 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
Starting point is 01:00:53 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?
Starting point is 01:01:10 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?
Starting point is 01:01:40 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,
Starting point is 01:02:04 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
Starting point is 01:02:27 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?
Starting point is 01:02:47 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,
Starting point is 01:03:15 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.

Starting point is 01:07:40 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.
Starting point is 01:07:49 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,
Starting point is 01:08:03 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.
Starting point is 01:08:16 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.
Starting point is 01:08:36 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.
Starting point is 01:08:54 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.
Starting point is 01:09:10 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.
Starting point is 01:09:36 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.
Starting point is 01:10:00 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.
Starting point is 01:10:20 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.
Starting point is 01:10:56 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.
Starting point is 01:11:18 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.
Starting point is 01:11:29 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,
Starting point is 01:11:45 good attempt though. Yeah. And we'll call somebody a shithead on your behalf for Clara. Jeff? I've got one,
Starting point is 01:11:57 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
Starting point is 01:12:06 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.
Starting point is 01:12:24 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
Starting point is 01:12:40 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.
Starting point is 01:13:00 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.
Starting point is 01:13:12 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.
Starting point is 01:13:28 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?
Starting point is 01:13:46 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.
Starting point is 01:13:55 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
Starting point is 01:14:09 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?
Starting point is 01:14:29 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.
Starting point is 01:14:50 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...
Starting point is 01:15:01 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

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.

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?
