Oh. My name is Doug, and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies.
Starting point is 00:00:32 It's pretty good. You guys are awesome. Coming to you like we do on most Tuesdays from the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles at 7 p.m. sharp. Okay, it's a few after. We were close. Get here at 5.30 if you want to stand in line next to Baseball Jordan.
Starting point is 00:00:50 It's Tuesday, August 20th at 2 Oceans 13. Let me see your name tags, Los Angeles. Oh, there's a dog with an outfit on named Kevin. That is... I can't even begin to describe it, so I won't. A guy with a Fargo
Starting point is 00:01:06 Blu-ray? Not Blu-ray. No wonder I can't get my Blu-ray player to work. I keep trying to shove laser discs into it. You have a big tire that says rubber on it. That's your name, rubber? Mark. Okay, well.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Someday you guys are going to figure out what a name tag is. This concept is really going to take off someone's got a bottle of something that you just wrote your name on, what is that? London's Pride oh, that sounds delicious I hope I get to try it
Starting point is 00:01:37 thanks you guys for bringing the name tags I'm at UNC Charlotte this Thursday Fuck Yeah Fest in LA on Saturday. And Pennsylvania, the winner of the Leonard Maltin game at the stand-up show at the Arts Quest in Bethlehem gets a guest seat at
Starting point is 00:01:53 Douglas Movies the next day at Helium in Philly at 420. A new Dining with Doug and Karen is available for your ear holes now. We recorded it at CineFamily last night after an interruption of Now You See Me, and the director of that film was in the audience. Yeah, and then chatted with us
Starting point is 00:02:14 and tried some of the food, and it's a crazy crossover event. So listen to my mini-episode where Paul Tompkins and Rory Scovel and Brendan Walsh, the three of us are just four of us, I did too we were just gleefully
Starting point is 00:02:32 like railing on Dave Franco and how, like somebody said I didn't see that movie because I saw the billboard it was harsh and the director was there the whole time, but we didn't know it. We didn't know it. So when you're listening to it, you're going to be like, oh, shit, the director's right
Starting point is 00:02:50 there. That's intense. And he loomed over the Dining with Doug and Karen podcast because we knew he was there pretty early on and he didn't come over and talk to us for a while. So I was very nervous. And don't forget to check out Greatest Movie Ever Rolled on demand in iTunes
Starting point is 00:03:06 and other places like that now. Now it's time for Watch This, Not That. The number one movie in the country is Lee Daniels' The Butler and the number two movie is We're the Millers.
Starting point is 00:03:17 But who cares because Friday we are all seeing the world's end. Please welcome Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and and my new best friend, Nick Frost! Good evening. Hey, everyone. Hey, fellas.
Starting point is 00:03:54 I didn't mean to kill people on the way in. Yeah, that's one thing I always forget to tell people is it's the curtain, not the door. Which is, you know, a pretty good life lesson, I think. You should always go for the curtain instead of the door. Which is, you know, a pretty good life lesson, I think. You should always go for the curtain instead of the door. It's always less resistance. But thank you guys. I don't know what that means, but it's really clever.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Thank you very much. That's Simon Pegg, everybody. Hello. Hello. And, uh... And, uh... Just tried so hard to be clever again. You were so impressed with the last one. I should just introduce all three of you.
Starting point is 00:04:38 I don't have a thing I want to say to just Simon right now. So let's hear it for also Nick Frost and Edgar Wright. Thank you. Thank you very much. The trio of the Cornetto trilogy here on my show. I cannot tell you how
Starting point is 00:04:57 excited I am. It's nice to be here. It's nice to be friends reunited. Yeah. You've been gone making this fucking movie. But I'd rather have the movie than you here for the last year, because that's how much I love this movie and that I know the guy who made it.
Starting point is 00:05:14 I can't be on every week like Sam Levine. We need you here to take him down. I'm not sure that's possible. That's my question for you guys is, are you all just going to bolt town again in a few days after the movie opens on Friday yes
Starting point is 00:05:31 we are getting the fuck out of here quickly because we have a new tradition on the show that the winner of the Leonard Mullen game is invited back the very next week to defend their title Jeopardy style I know I enjoyed hearing Werner Herzog Werner Herzog tore it up.
Starting point is 00:05:46 I think he finally just, you know, tanked on purpose so that he could go make that thing about texting while driving. Which everybody is sending me the link to that, like I'm friends with Werner Herzog, or I'm interested in his every move.
Starting point is 00:06:01 But I actually am, a little bit. But, yeah, so nobody can come back next week. No. What are you doing? You live here. I've got to go. I've also got to go. But I will be back eventually. Where are you going? I'm going back to London.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Alright. Briefly. You're going back to London? Yeah. And so, you know, I don't get the like UK box office. I got it. You're right. Very London? Yeah. And so, you know, I don't get the, like, UK box office. Help Doug with his jacket. I got it, I got it. You're right. Very nice.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Polite of you, though. Well, as best friends now, I felt that I needed to... Yeah, you're my new best friend. Edgar said that we were going to be best friends, and so, you know. There's a lot of pressure on that, though. I think it's easy. We're never going to see each other. All right.
Starting point is 00:06:41 You don't follow me on Twitter. Wait a minute. What the fuck? What? What? What? What? Is this an open relationship? It's ridiculous. You're an ongoing close friend, Simon.
Starting point is 00:06:54 I'm just saying that Edgar dubbed us best friends at Comic-Con and then we proceeded to not really talk to each other very much. Oh, I mean, Nick and Doug would be best friends. I introduced you to Nick saying, this is your new best friend. Yeah, that's, Nick and Doug would be best friends. I said, I introduced you to Nick saying,
Starting point is 00:07:06 this is your new best friend. Yeah, that's what I just said. I'm just terrible. I was briefly, I was briefly away. Thinking about your travel schedule. I was.
Starting point is 00:07:16 I was thinking about texting and driving. How crazy it is. But is it in the UK? Is the movie killing it? Is it making a ton of money? Yeah, it's done pretty good. We opened against a heat wave,
Starting point is 00:07:26 which is not the greatest thing in the world. What's heat wave? Werner Herzog heat wave. It was the hottest summer that we've ever had in Britain. Oh, there was a heat wave happening. I thought there was another motion picture called Heat Wave that I wasn't familiar with. Although I'd go to see that.
Starting point is 00:07:47 It's the sequel to Heat. What happens in it? People wave. There's a wave. Maybe a heist during a tsunami. Hello. I hope De Niro and Pagino have one scene together again because that's pretty riveting
Starting point is 00:08:02 to wait for for an entire movie. It's in a tanning salon. No, we opened up against the hottest weekend ever in the United Kingdom, and as a response the opening wasn't quite as massive as we hoped, but they came in eventually. It was one of those things where people
Starting point is 00:08:18 the whole of cinema suffered that weekend, even Monsters, Inc. It was... University. Monsters, you. Monsters, you. It was... University. Monsters, you. Sorry, sorry. Please. Monsters, you.
Starting point is 00:08:26 University. Sorry. Get it together. No, Monsters, Inc. has been in the UK top ten for 12 years. We've only just got it. I know.
Starting point is 00:08:37 It's amazing what we're like. We just figured it out. The highest grossing film of all time in the UK is Monsters, Inc. Grease is still number one.
Starting point is 00:08:44 Yeah. Grease. We're just. Yeah. Grease. We're just about to get Grease 2 next week. Is it any good? Fingers crossed. You never know. You never know. Well, you're going to think Michelle Pfeiffer looks great.
Starting point is 00:08:57 Yes. Because she's aged a little. But you guys brought so much sweat. The winner of the prize bag tonight is going to get so much awesome World's End stuff. First of all, that mounted already poster, it's not rolled up. It's a mounted poster that all
Starting point is 00:09:14 of you guys have signed. That's worth almost $12. If you've come on a bicycle, you're fucked. You know, that's... Somebody probably did. That'll be our winner tonight. You guys also brought the
Starting point is 00:09:31 Hot Fuzz 3-Disc Collectors Edition. Oh, yeah. Over five hours of bonus features. And Sean Dead regular style. An hour of bonus features. I just called it Sean Dead. You know, I don't have time for all those smaller words. And what are all these shirts, Edgar?
Starting point is 00:09:50 Tell me about these shirts. Well, in the movie, well, it's a little bit of a spoiler. So maybe don't look at the T-shirts until you've seen it. But there's a sort of running gag about Gary King, Simon's character, was in a band at school. And he keeps talking about getting the band back together, and every time somebody mentions something,
Starting point is 00:10:07 like an odd sentence, he says, that's a good name for a band, write it down. And somebody has already made every band t-shirt from the movie. I'm even wearing one, like, this has been done, this is a British t-shirt that's done maybe like a week after the film came out, so
Starting point is 00:10:23 it's incredible how quickly dialogue has been I can't read this one though what's this one called? Mad Bad Old Nutball and the Shifty Twins that would be a great band
Starting point is 00:10:32 they'd only have the one hit this one for me to Rhombus and the Aquanazis for me to Rhombus and the Aquanazis and this one
Starting point is 00:10:38 is a kind of a mashup of the Sisters of Mercy t-shirt that I wear in the film but someone's modified it to have relevance to the film. There it is.
Starting point is 00:10:48 Based on your appearance tonight, you wore your own clothes in that movie, didn't you? Oh, yeah, man. I'm a goth. Yeah, you just lost the glasses. Woman and bread, man and boy. And then also several shirts in here that list all the pubs
Starting point is 00:11:00 that are part of the crawl in the movie. Yeah. Can I also point out that all the shirts are 100% cotton? Thank you. No one's ever brought that up before and it's a crucial thing.
Starting point is 00:11:14 I've got a Doug Loves Movies t-shirt that I'm going to throw in and it's pure shit. It's 98% hemp and 2% steel. So it's very scratchy. Is that a mouth uh a mouth light and these these uh robots in the movie and that that's already giving away too much in my opinion but they this blue light comes out of them i'm sure you've seen in the trailers and stuff
Starting point is 00:11:37 comes out of their mouth and so uh everyone here no i don't i'm not oprah i don't have enough for everybody but we have a lot of them so let's let's throw them into the audience mouth lights everyone here. No, I don't. I'm not Oprah. I don't have enough for everybody. But we have a lot of them so let's throw them into the audience. Those mouth lights. Yeah, yeah. Incidentally,
Starting point is 00:11:50 the mouth lights that we have on the show. Jordan, I've thrown two right at you. Oh, is there a bunch? Don't sue. Here we go. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:11:58 I'm not going to throw them because I might feel You get a car. You get a car. You get a match. You get a match. Come on. There we go.
Starting point is 00:12:10 This bag is amazing. Somebody got a canvas bag. The listeners love it when you throw stuff to the audience. It is the most fun thing to listen to. They can just hear people getting shit. Can I just say, as a word of warning, those mouth lights are the number one cause of oral cancer here in the...
Starting point is 00:12:30 So look at them, but don't put them in. Never put them in. Nick is actually wearing something from the movie. Oh. Yeah, this cardigan features in the film. And I'm having to point it out a lot at Q&As. Did you just hop off the plane at LAX with a dream in your cardigan?
Starting point is 00:12:50 Yeah. This is LA, baby. That's what we all do. You're a regular Miley Cyrus. Yeah, I mean, there was a thousand cardigans made for the film at a cost of $1.2 million. And this is one of three that I have in my private collection. I love it.
Starting point is 00:13:07 You didn't even fucking look at it. I knew. I've been looking at you the whole time. Best friend. There was, um... I didn't bring really anything of value because I knew you guys would bring some amazing gifts, but I brought a copy of my most recent CD,
Starting point is 00:13:23 but I also brought the bag they give you when they lose your bag at the airport that's like, well, since you don't have any of your shit, you could probably get by with this stuff. And it's like, really? How many people are like, oh, man, I really wanted to polish my shoes tonight, but my bag with my shoe polish didn't come in,
Starting point is 00:13:43 so now I gotta fucking hope that they'll give me one in a stupid bag. And there's a bunch of other dumb stuff in there. Is that from United Airlines? Yeah, like, look at this. Do they actually give... United Airlines actually give out a CD of Gateway Doug? Yeah, they should.
Starting point is 00:13:56 They should be like, just fucking... There should be a joint in my CD and nothing else. Like, look at this. Laundry greens in this little thing. I almost ate that one night because I got hungry waiting for my real bags to come because that's got all my food in it. But also, I always like to give away, but I should probably share it with. Can you pass this down to my new best friend? Nick might need to know the rules of the game.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Yeah, the Leonard Maltin game rules. All of them are there. This comes in that bag. I like to give one away to each week because, you know, then they can look at it, know what it says. Funnily enough, I've got to tell you this because Leonard Maltin...
Starting point is 00:14:37 Use your microphone, boys. It's not going to work. But Leonard Maltin's daughter tweeted me today to say that Leonard had seen the film, and she said he won't use this quote in the actual review, but he said it was batshit crazy. He said batshit crazy and hilarious. He swears in real life, but he's quite genteel in his reviews.
Starting point is 00:14:56 I'd love it to be the first review to use swearing in his, let's say, three and a half stars, batshit crazy. Based on his review of Scott Pilgrim, I just think that he just cannot handle fast cutting and action. This one's not quite as fast, though, is it? No, but it's, you know, it moves. It builds up. It moves. Simon's a fast
Starting point is 00:15:16 talker in this one. Yeah. And I dare say, I've said this to you already, but I'll say it again, crawl way up your ass, but Simon and Edgar in this one I think wrote the best characters that Nick and Simon have played in a movie. Like, they're
Starting point is 00:15:31 really... I'm tearing up, listeners. Right? Just say, yeah, I did a good job. Thanks, man. That's very well. It's lovely British. We can't say that. We just have to stand and our lips have to quiver slightly. Have you seen Remains of the Day? We can't show any emotion. We can't say that. We just have to stand and our lips have to quiver slightly. Have you seen Remains of the Day? We can't show any emotion.
Starting point is 00:15:48 We can't accept a compliment. Not here, Doug. All right, you cunts. That's more like it. Let's go to the pub. We've got one and a half on this block. One and a half? I think there's two now.
Starting point is 00:16:06 I think there's two that you could call a pub, maybe. What counts on this block? Franklin and something? Yeah. Franklin and Bash. And then on the other corner, we've got Rizzoli and Isles. Two great theme pubs. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:23 We're already running so far behind schedule. Because I wanted to, I'm sorry, schedule. I really wanted to, Thank you. You're welcome. Try to speak the language.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Can't wait for Edgar to say the word corridor. It always comes up. Corridor. Yeah. But I wanted to try a new, So exotic, isn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:44 What? I said the word corridor was so exotic to you what about pavement hallway huh no that would be the fancier word for pavement
Starting point is 00:16:53 would be concrete no you guys say sidewalk that's French right sidewalk it's very functional it's a walk
Starting point is 00:16:59 it's a side of the bit you walk on we say pavement it's slightly more sort of old it's like it throws up images of cobbles and cholera.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Of cobbles and cholera is a good band name. You should write that down. Yeah. Cobbles and cholera. My biopic. Rated R. But we should pick
Starting point is 00:17:20 name tags. That's an important part of this process is everyone holds up odd objects that they claim are name tags. This motherf an important part of this process. Everyone holds up odd objects that they claim are name tags. This motherfucking dog's got to get something. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:17:30 That dog should be standing outside of a pub. Is the idol from Indiana Jones making the woot monkey noise? Look at that. Oh no, there's a woot monkey back there. Whoa, look at this. Is that like a fucking particle accelerator? I'll take this dog. Simon's going for the dog. Yeah, that's very normal.
Starting point is 00:17:46 And Nick, if you just go grab it from whoever you want to play for. I'd like to thank the Academy. Who's nearest to me? There's a guy with a... Voila. Who's nearest to me with food? Yeah. With a food-ish product called Whoppers.
Starting point is 00:18:01 Whoppers. Whoppers. We call these Maltesers. You do? Yeah. You have a totally different name for that? Yeah, it's the whole cobbles and cholera thing. It just sort of sounds more like old times.
Starting point is 00:18:12 It's an exchange of ideas, isn't it? Anyone? Isn't it? Maltesers and Whoppers is much like Franklin and Bash. It's a great, great show. Here we go. You guys can talk during this part. This is nice.
Starting point is 00:18:30 Very proud, isn't he? He's like the mayor. He's been in the Navy. What is it? I have no idea. Okay. Where did you find it? My mom has it.
Starting point is 00:18:45 Where? Not anymore. Best side draw? I totally fucked up. I'm so excited about this show tonight that I screwed up and I didn't say we'll be right back
Starting point is 00:18:55 to insert a commercial during the part where you're looking for your name tags. So I'll just say it right now. We'll be right back. And we're back! Amazing.
Starting point is 00:19:04 So who are you playing for, Edgar? I'm playing for Quindiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark. Love it. And also, there's a shithead written on the back, so don't spoil that. Okay. Not a very controversial shithead, either. Oh, well.
Starting point is 00:19:20 You'll see. That's revealing. Okay. Simon? I am playing for Kevin and his majestic dog. It really looks like it should be standing outside of a pub. Admiral Poppington. That might be his name. Lord High Admiral Poppington. There's no might about it.
Starting point is 00:19:40 That is his goddamn name. Given at birth. Did you write a shithead on the back, dude? Okay, we'll get it from you if Simon loses tonight, but he's a formidable competitor, even though the great Edgar Wright is here. Don't say it if there's a shithead on the
Starting point is 00:19:56 back. I don't know what that means. Just walk away. Whose name is on the front of it? Whopper. Because these are Whoppers. No, it's... He put his name on it somewhere, the guy you're playing for. Is that your name? Okay.
Starting point is 00:20:12 Mojo. He underlined it with his pen. Mojo? Mojo. Mojo. Brave or Mojo. It's a Simpsons reference. What?
Starting point is 00:20:22 Mojo's Milk Boss. Mojo's Milk Boss, that's his name. Yeah. Thanks, mate. Really fun. Really took him about, between thinking of it and making it, it took him less than three minutes. But he got picked because he was sitting close.
Starting point is 00:20:37 That's sometimes all you need, isn't it? Just be close. Guy was at the end of the line, so he had to sit on the floor and got picked. Yeah. I thought you was at the end of the line, so he had to sit on the floor and got picked. Yeah. I thought you were going to go for the particle accelerator, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:20:49 It'd be flashing in the dark and everything. Yeah, I have a problem with my piles at the moment, so I didn't really want to move. Fair enough. I'm honest a lot, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Did you hear how most of us didn't get that? Piles. Oh, hemorrhoids. I'm sorry. Once I'm sat, I don't like to move. Do you want to play a new game, Edgar? Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:21:14 We've got to do it quickly. So far, it doesn't even have a name yet. I'm just calling it New Game. People, after we play this game on Twitter, submit your title ideas for this game so I don't have to keep calling it New Game. It was suggested by attherobertmain, M-A this game on Twitter, submit your title ideas for this game so I don't have to keep calling it New Game. It was suggested by attherobertmain, M-A-I-N, on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:21:30 I'll name someone who's in movies, and then you guys take turns naming movies that person was in until you can't think of one. You'll get like three seconds each time. As soon as you can't think of one, you're out. You're the person who lasts the longest. 25 movies this person is in.
Starting point is 00:21:48 Jesus. Yeah. And I know I would be terrible at this, so don't feel bad if you don't do great. And we'll start with my new best friend, Nick. Hello. Yeah. You co-starred with him in the motion picture Paul.
Starting point is 00:22:09 Name any movie that starred or featured or even voiceover acting by Seth Rogen. I can't say Paul. You can, you just did. Bang. All right, Paul. Simon? This is the end.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Donnie Darko. There there you go deep cuts yeah i like the way you play edgar uh 40 year old virgin yeah he is he's in the shop yeah i can confirm that he's in that not works at the tv store uh knocked Yeah. He's in that for sure. The guilt trip. Why? He's in it. That's like cheating. Not really. Nick?
Starting point is 00:22:56 The Green Hornet. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I thought you guys would be good at this. Apologies to put your hands together. You, me, and Dupree That's a really good pull I was going to say
Starting point is 00:23:10 It's barely in that, right? Yeah I was going to say You, Me and Dupree You fucked me up I know Oh, isn't he a voice in Monsters vs. Aliens? Yes, he is Yeah, with that other monster, Reese Witherspoon.
Starting point is 00:23:33 I'm sure he's nice. Unless you're a law enforcement officer. I'm having trouble. Yeah, it's hard. Yeah, I'm having trouble right now. All right. We'll give you a few more seconds don't make it any worse for me
Starting point is 00:23:46 Seth Rogen he was like he was the alien in Paul so you didn't spend much time with him well that was it
Starting point is 00:23:52 really that was the first thing I'd known him in and I'd never really watched anything after that I'm quite insular
Starting point is 00:23:58 you didn't hit it off with him yeah I liked him very much oh okay but I don't know he's he's oovra
Starting point is 00:24:04 I'm not so au fait with his canon I liked him very much. Oh, okay. But I don't know who he's... He's oeuvre. He's oeuvre. I'm not so au fait with his canon. He's got a canon? Yeah, he's got a canon. I'm going to give you a clue. Another animated film that he's voiced in. Just pass.
Starting point is 00:24:16 You have a go. Observe and Report. Oh, lovely. Very good. That's lovely. Kung Fu Panda. Of course. Ah, yeah. All right, back's lovely. Kung Fu Panda. Of course. Ah, yeah. Alright, back to you, Simon, because
Starting point is 00:24:27 my new best friend is out. 50-50. Yes. I love that movie. Nobody's mentioned Superbad, right? Nobody has, yeah. That's nice. One of our favourites. Superbad, obviously, I mean,
Starting point is 00:24:45 I'm not going to beat around the bush, it's going to be something I'm going to say straight away because I'm not going to fuck around. I don't like, personally,
Starting point is 00:24:50 I don't like stalling, it's not something I enjoy. But what I will say is this, he's done a lot of films and one of my absolute favourites, one of the ones, no,
Starting point is 00:24:57 in all seriousness, without being a, I don't want to be a douche or whatever it is you guys say, but he is really, really good in Nick Help. You're out. I'm out.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Can you rub it in and name one more? Staring you in the face. Kung Fu Bandit 2. Oh! I didn't know we could do sequels. Fucking face in your face, Simon. Yeah, it's all of his movies. What did we miss?
Starting point is 00:25:24 We missed Anchorman, Shrek the Third, Spiderwick Chronicles, Horton Hears a Who. He's in Anchorman, yeah. Stepbrothers, Pineapple Express, Zach and Mary MacApona. Pineapple Express, of course. Fanboys, Funny People, Take This Waltz, and For a Good Time, Call.
Starting point is 00:25:39 There you go. 25 movies of Seth Rogen, past and hopefully future guests on the show. That was fun, but I guess we should have known Edgar would win that. Now, I have a question about that game. I've got to have you play that against Sam Levine sometime. Is that game Seth Rogen every week? Yeah, it's always
Starting point is 00:25:54 going to be Seth Rogen. People will never tire of that. I think you just call it... Especially if he's here, I'm going to do it. Just call it the Seth Rogen game. Oh, yeah. That's definitely what I should call it. No, it's going to be just different people that I choose. Was that the inaugural game? First time we played the new game.
Starting point is 00:26:09 It should be called the Seth Rogen game then. It should be just called the Seth Rogen game. Alright. I'm sure he's alright with that. A tribute to Seth. Absolutely. I was going to make it into a contest with the listeners, but Seth's a good guy. Seth Rogen game is a great... It really flows nicely with the Leonard Maltin game too.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Just go right from Seth Rogen to Leonard Maltin. It will confuse the fuck out of the next person playing it. But Leonard Maltin, of course, is a little bit more complicated. I'm trying to invent games that are easier for the guests to pick up on immediately. Next week we have a guest coming that I am loathe to try to make him play the Leonard Maltin game.
Starting point is 00:26:48 It's Leonard Maltin. He's played it and he actually got one right last time, but he is pretty bad at it. He doesn't remember all the shit he writes. He doesn't remember what his minions thought. Because he's got a team. He doesn't remember giving Hot Fuzz
Starting point is 00:27:03 two stars. Did he? Out of how many? Out of how many? 17. Out of 20. Out of 20? No, out of four, which means fair, and I've argued with him about that one. We've had some pretty heated blow-ups.
Starting point is 00:27:19 I still love him. That's a pass. I didn't mean to call him a fucking asshole. That's bad. He's a good guy. He likes the Star Trek... He gave Gremlins a bad review. Did he like Star Trek? I think so. Oh, he's alright then.
Starting point is 00:27:34 You know that guy's into darkness. He's super into darkness. Alright, Edgar, you get to pick a category. And then since Simon knows what's going on, we'll go to him. And then Nick is going to be completely on board before it's his turn. What? Huh? At Matt Picasso on Twitter.
Starting point is 00:27:55 He's suggested stuff before. I usually don't use the same people, but this one's so good I had to use it. The category is the Cornetto category. Oh. And that's movies that have either ice or cream in the title. Fucking hell. Yeah. Doesn't narrow it down as much as you'd think.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Also, celebrating a birthday today, Weatherman Al Roker. So, yes, the films of Al Roker. That is the worst. I have to say, that is the worst category. You are going to love it when you hear what movie I picked. I'll tell you later. I'll tell you later. Three Brits. You don't have to pick the category. Al Roker means nothing to Three Brits. Here's the category you were going to love it when you hear what movie I picked I'll tell you later I'll tell you later Three Brits
Starting point is 00:28:26 you don't have to pick the category Al Roker means nothing to Three Brits here's the category you're going to pick how old is he today he's 59 I think
Starting point is 00:28:32 oh lovely it's nice isn't it you cunt at Jeff DeCaro all I know about Al Roker is that he lost weight and he shat himself at the White House
Starting point is 00:28:44 that's true right isn't it yeah and he shat himself at the White House. That's true, right? Yeah. Isn't it? Yeah, and he says, let's see what's going on in your neck of the woods. Which I always like to say to the ladies when I'm making that move. But that's true, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:28:57 Didn't he shat at the White House? Is that true? Yeah, and he also recently overslept. He missed the whole Morning Today show. And he was like, hey, 48 years, what are you going to do? One time, I overslept. I like him. Yeah, it's a good explanation.
Starting point is 00:29:13 But Jeff DeCaro on Twitter suggested Roe v. Wade, Roe versus Wade, and that's movies where one or more people are lost at sea. Oh, my God. Wow. Oh my god Wow I think Which one of those Why are you consulting With your competitors Oh sorry
Starting point is 00:29:33 You get to pick Pick Ice Creamy I can't do the Al Roker one So I know a lot about him I said those are the only things I know about him I don't think
Starting point is 00:29:43 There's a film about him When you find out What movie he's in It makes absolute him I don't think there's a film about him when you find out what movie he's in it makes absolute sense I don't think he's in the film Olympus Has Fallen Olympus Has Sharted White House Brown I think we may as well we may as well go home after that. Let's go for the ice and cream one, I guess.
Starting point is 00:30:14 Okay. I'm glad you're excited about it. He's disappointed. It's one of those tough ones. Would you like a movie with ice or cream in the title? From 1995 or 1981? 1981. I knew you were fucking going to do that. Two stars from Leonard.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Yeah, so this movie's in the same boat with Hot Fuzz. Oh, so it's really good, isn't it? Sad, miserable boat. He just didn't get it. 1981 is the year, of course. He calls this movie episodic. And he also says that this movie has some hilarity. Oh.
Starting point is 00:31:07 Some hilarity. It's got ice or cream in the title and the number of names he lists are seven names. How many names do you think it'll take you to get it, Edgar Wright? Now I'm unsure. It wasn't what I thought it was. So I'm going to say... What, seven names? Seven, yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:25 I'll go for four names. All right. That's a pretty amazing bid. Really put Simon in a position. In for a penny, in for a pound. That's a British expression. It doesn't mean anything there either, right? In for a... All right. None of them do. That? In for a... None of them do.
Starting point is 00:31:45 That's the big joke. None of them do. In for a dime, in for a dollar. In for a scream, in for a holler. I like that you immediately went to feminine. I know. Yeah, I did too. The only way I can do it is like this.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Don't ask me why. I will say, I'll say three. Fuck it, why not? Come on. I'll do it in three. Alright, so Nick can bid lower or force Simon to name it. If he doesn't name it, you'll get the point. Yeah, well, I can't go lower, so
Starting point is 00:32:15 I'm going to say... Is this something I have to say? Name it, Simon. Simon? Name it. Name that movie. All right, stop shouting at me. You're not directing my life. He thinks he is. He thinks he is.
Starting point is 00:32:35 Direct your own life. Get off our backstreet. Simon, I'd like you to name that movie. Right. That works. You got him to do that movie. Right. That works. You got him to do it right. How many names?
Starting point is 00:32:49 Three. Here you go. Will you put High Admiral Lord Poppington on this? Yes, I will. I want to see him. With all his pomp. With his puppy pomp. Sandra Bernhardt was in this movie.
Starting point is 00:33:03 Dr. Timothy Leary. What? Yeah. And Stacey Keech. From 1981. Nick's gonna get his first point. It's not what I thought it was gonna be. Um.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Ice and Cream. No, I have no idea. The rest of the names are Paul Rubens, Evelyn Guerrero, Thomas Chong, and Cheech Marin. Cheech and Chong's nice dreams. Oh, wait. I was thinking ice and cream.
Starting point is 00:33:43 I didn't think you meant ice. No, ice. It's in there. Jesus Christ. I thought it was going to be the word ice or cream. You're booing that Nick Frost just got his first point in his first game? This isn't UFC, you guys.
Starting point is 00:34:03 So it has to be... Wait. Oh, okay. We're done with that category. I was misled. I've let my dog down and I feel like... Shit gets tricky sometimes. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:34:13 I was immediately reeling off my freeze. I was immediately down. Edgar gets to pick again why? I was immediately listing off in my head every ice
Starting point is 00:34:32 I couldn't think of any cream ones I thought of ice pirates ice pirates and green ice I was thinking ice pirates ice pirates green ice
Starting point is 00:34:38 it's green ice it's green ice no it's not what's green ice? green ice is a terrible heist film with Ryan O'Neill and Ann Archer.
Starting point is 00:34:45 Green Ice. Wow. Because they're stealing emeralds. Of course they are. The film Blue Ice with Michael Caine is about urine coming down
Starting point is 00:34:54 from an airplane toilet. Is it? That is true. That's true. Are you taking the piss? Yeah. There's a scene in it where he talks
Starting point is 00:35:04 about one of his friends being killed from above by Blue Ice. Can I do it? Yeah. There's a scene in there where he talks about one of his friends being killed from above by blue ice. Can I do it? He was just there. He was standing in the garden. And then all of a sudden, a shard of ice killed him.
Starting point is 00:35:20 It was bloody blue. It was bloody blue. Edgar gets to pick, then we go to Nick. Okay. Because I like everything to rhyme. At TwitOck, T-W-I-T-Ock, TwitOck, suggested nine-inch nails, and that's movies that have a crucifixion scene in them. T-W-I-T-O-C. Twitoc. Suggested Nine Inch Nails.
Starting point is 00:35:48 And that's movies that have a crucifixion scene in them. At... At Saviesar. I don't know what that means. S-A-V-I-E-S-S-A-R-S-A-R. Suggested Rock Bottom. Oh. And that's Dwayne Johnson movies that Leonard gave two stars or less.
Starting point is 00:36:06 We just... Oh, can we say? We can't say. We should say. We just got an email from The Rock because he watched the movie. He tweeted about the film twice, which is amazing.
Starting point is 00:36:16 That's nice. For somebody who follows no people on Twitter, he has like five million, and he tweeted about the trailer twice, and then we were really excited for him to see the movie because in the movie, you do two different moves by the rock.
Starting point is 00:36:26 I do, at one point in the film I perform a rock bottom. Nick executes what's beautifully referred to as the most electrifying move in sports entertainment.
Starting point is 00:36:35 The people's elbow. So we sent it to Dwayne Johnson in Budapest to watch and he loved it. So maybe we should... He sent us the sweetest email, and we got so giddy with excitement.
Starting point is 00:36:50 Nick and me used to watch the WWF, back when it was the World Wildlife Fund. And we... Until Vince McMahon stabbed that panda to death. And then I had to change it. We used to sit in our front room just completely baked
Starting point is 00:37:07 watching WWE and trying to replicate the moves doing the eyebrow yeah doing the eyebrow and stuff I actually literally broke Nick's thumb once
Starting point is 00:37:15 when he would choke slam me onto his bed not as a prelude to intercourse although we did have intercourse best not out like that best make up sex, wouldn't it? But so for The Rock to email us was a lovely thing.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Anyway, let's go on with the game. But that could be a favourite to do. Your third choice is Less Miserables. Yeah. And that's movies with either happy, fun or joy in the title. So the fact that fun is in the title, it could be funny people. So you don't have to fall for that again.
Starting point is 00:37:50 So happy, fun, or joy? I think we've got to go for the rock bottom. I think you do after that tearful... Are you meant to ask us? No, I'm going to go for rock bottom. It's supposed to be his decision. If we're doing it, I just want to do it right. Yeah. He's supposed to be ruthless. I don't know what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Rock bottom. Do it yourself. Would you like a Dwayne the Rock Johnson movie from 2005 or 2001? Let's go 2001. You did it again, Simon. I did it again. Every time. One and a half stars
Starting point is 00:38:22 from Leonard. Yeah, that's below two 2001 he says about this movie that it it's long and he also says that it is I don't want to give it away
Starting point is 00:38:43 all these words let you know exactly what it is, I think. He says that it's, it's, the movie's made up entirely of climaxes. I've seen a film like that. That's a pretty strong,
Starting point is 00:39:00 that's a pretty strong clue. It's on my hotel pay-per-view. I saw it last night. It was great. And he lists nine names. How many names do you think you'll take to name it Edgar? I'm going negative one. I should have had a pen and a piece of paper. He went negative one,
Starting point is 00:39:18 Nick. So you know it? So he's very confident. So I, at this point then, because I clearly don't, I couldn't beat him with that, then I should have to say, Edgar, name the film. Name the movie. Don't worry.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Edgar. He has to name it and he has to name the top billed performer in the movie. And he has to get the title exactly right. This is a wild guess. I'm going to say the movie is The Mummy Returns with Brendan Fraser. We've got a new Sam Levine
Starting point is 00:39:48 on our hands. Who claims it's a guess while very confident. But yeah, there's like the whole review, just everything he says just absolutely gives it away. Big, dumb sequel.
Starting point is 00:40:04 That would have given it away. I've never actually seen that one. Oh, really? I only saw the first one. I liked the first one. I was on board, sure. That was his breakout role, wasn't it? It was the Scorpion King, wasn't it? The Scorpion King. Yeah, the rock, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:20 That was one of the other clues. I couldn't say, oh, it's followed by the Scorpion King sort of give it away but that means that since Simon wasn't involved that time he gets to pick the next category
Starting point is 00:40:32 and he's still not on the board yet and since Nick challenged Edgar Nick will go second and which of these categories would you like to play Simon would you like
Starting point is 00:40:40 Peter Shrinklage that's movies where someone gets shrunk. Feminist movement, that's movies where you see a woman on a toilet. And after all this frivolity, this seems inappropriate, but I'm going to say it anyway. Rest in peace, Elmore Leonard passed away. But we had to do a category. And by we, I mean going to say it anyway. Rest in peace Elmore Leonard passed away but we had to do a category and by we I mean it's just me
Starting point is 00:41:09 that makes these decisions. Elmore Leonard is the greatest. The best. Yeah. Justified is my favorite TV show right now and he's done lots of great movies
Starting point is 00:41:18 none of which I'm going to mention because that's a category. Movie adaptations of the works of Elmore Leonard. Which one of those would you like to play someone gets drunk lady on a toilet
Starting point is 00:41:28 the great Elmore Leonard what a tribute this is to him I feel if I pick the ladies in the toilet one it would be a real snub to Elmore Leonard who deserves a lot more than that so I think out of deference to the great man I think we should go with Elmore's category would you like with Elmore's category. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:49 Would you like an Elmore Leonard movie where you see a woman on a toilet from, I don't know, probably not, 1988 or 1995? Let's go with 88. Let's do an Edgar. Okay. Two and a half stars for this
Starting point is 00:42:05 adaptation of Elmore Leonard. I vehemently disagree with that rating. I'll tell you that. I won't say which way, but it's off. He says about this movie that... Do you think it's off, lower, or higher?
Starting point is 00:42:23 There's no questions allowed, sir. Sorry. He mentions that Samuel L. Jackson appears unbilled in this movie. And he also says that the movie has an appealing cast. And he lists nine names. How many names?
Starting point is 00:42:45 Simon Pegg. I'll name it in eight. Nick? Well, technically speaking, then, I mean, that's Simon showing... I'm just trying to feel out how the game's played. And there is more than one way to skin a cat. So, I mean
Starting point is 00:43:05 he knows that better than anyone I looked at him there's a knife for your teeth the what? two ways to skin a cat we'll be right back so I mean when you say eight I'm thinking you're not very confident
Starting point is 00:43:23 no I'm not I chose it more because I feel like Elmore Leonard deserves a nod tonight, not because I'm particularly okay with his film. Sure. Are people still here? Yes. But if you give him all eight names, there's only one name missing, so he's going to get a lot of cast members. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:39 So if I were you... Yeah. I would just... And also not very confident. I would just knock off one not very confident, I would just knock off one name and say seven names. That's what I would do. But then does it go to Edgar?
Starting point is 00:43:51 Yeah, and he could say name it, but you're going to get seven names out of nine. Or he'll say negative seven. Or two. Or whatever he's planning on doing over there. Alright, I will say Simon, name the movie.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Holy shit. Whoa. Whoa, thank you. Well, you know, I do... That is good strategy, actually, because it'll just cause a three-way tie, and it will not be over if Simon manages... If Simon gets this, he'll get the point.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Passionize us. You guys have to rush off to a gallery opening that's right so we can't dick around all night because you're going to a gallery I'm going to go too
Starting point is 00:44:39 I love the idea of it how long is the exhibit going to be there I think it's on for three weeks Gallery 1988 on Melrose. And it's all art that's inspired by movies from the Coronado trilogy. No, it's more than that. It's everything that I've directed.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Anything you've done at all. Spaced, like Hot Fuzz Sean, Scott Pilgrim, World's End, Don't, my Grindhouse trailer. Sure, sure. So it's kind of basically everything. It's amazing. We went down earlier on. It's kind of overwhelming. Anyway, sure. So it's kind of basically everything. It's amazing. We went down earlier on and it's kind of overwhelming.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Anyway, back to the game. Someone did a tapestry of Edgar during this podcast. While he directed my life. Here's your seven names, Simon. Nancy Allen. Eight. What?
Starting point is 00:45:21 I said eight. Yeah, he said eight. I kind of want to give you seven. No, didn't... Who bid first? You did. You took all the names, didn't you? Oh, you knocked one off. I said eight, and then he said... Okay, okay. Eight names, sorry.
Starting point is 00:45:37 You're right, Edgar. You didn't say anything. Just all that stuff about every movie you've directed. All that stuff about yourself. Nancy Allen, Catherine Keener, Don Cheadle, Albert Brooks, Dennis Farina, also recently passed. Great actor.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Steve Zahn, Ving Rhames, and Jennifer Lopez. You got this. He's got this. Out of sight. That's correct. We have a three-way tie. Nice. Not that it matters, because he's still got it, but am I going crazy, or did you say 1988? What did I say?
Starting point is 00:46:16 1988. It doesn't matter. He's still got it. You were 10 years off. Oh, yeah. He did say 1988. I did. I even looked at it twice, like, to double check, but I was looking at that last eight
Starting point is 00:46:25 was concerning me. All right, I'll call the corrections department as soon as we get out of here. So who was left out of that one? That was Edgar again got left out. Edgar was left out.
Starting point is 00:46:38 And Nick challenged Simon, so it's going to go Edgar and then Nick. And Edgar gets to pick We Shot a Zoo. Of course, it's movies to go Edgar and then Nick. And Edgar gets to pick We Shot a Zoo. Of course, it's movies that have hunting in them. I enjoy this category. Will Smith Loves Pussy.
Starting point is 00:46:59 And that's films where Will Smith saves a cat. Yeah, it's happened more than once. And Rocky's Horrible Picture Show. And that's the films of Sylvester Stallone that got two stars or less from Leonard. Oh, I've got to go Sylvester Stallone.
Starting point is 00:47:19 Yeah? You think you know everything there is to know about him? No. A little. One and a half stars. The year is 1992. Or 1882.
Starting point is 00:47:38 One and a half stars. He says about this movie that it has one joke, and it's thoroughly obnoxious. So I've probably said too much. And he lists eight names. I'm going to go negative one.
Starting point is 00:47:59 Yeah, you are. So Nick, oh, bless you. Someone is allergic to defeat. Well, I can't beat Edgar on that, so I'm going to say Edgar. Name the movie. Maybe he's wrong. It's Stop and My Mum Will Shoot with Sylvester Stallone. Actually, Estelle Getty got top billing.
Starting point is 00:48:20 You're kidding. I am, You got it. Edgar wins. We'll be back with more of Foregone Conclusion Theater. Exactly. Yeah. I'll be back eventually. You're so good at this game. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Yeah, you got to come back. I'll be back next. Just play to play. You don't have to be promoting a movie. Okay. Yeah, just play, man. We'll have you on with Werner Herzog and Sam Levine.
Starting point is 00:48:47 I was on, last time I was on was with Werner and Sam Levine. It was thoroughly enjoyable. Yeah, there you go. Werner was an incredible presence.
Starting point is 00:48:55 Did he do that thing where he lays on the stage and he jumps up onto his feet? Because he did that one time. Podcast listeners loved it.
Starting point is 00:49:07 What was I going to say? I had something good. Who won the prize bag? Who's... Oh. Quindiana. Quindiana Jones won a lot of swag. Who's Quindiana?
Starting point is 00:49:17 Well done. Come get that bag. Well done. Congratulations. There we go. I hope you like us. Hey, man. Thank you. That's yours. I hope you like us. Hey, man.
