Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds with 50 acid popper kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves boobies! Hey everybody! Oh wow, this is a nice-sized house. We got some folks sitting right near the stage, so they clearly are trying to be in position to win the fabulous prizes that are in this recyclable bag
Starting point is 00:00:36 that I bring to every taping. Because that's the great thing about a... What is that? What do you call that? Burlap? No. Canvas. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:00:48 When you have a campus bag like this for walking around the campus, it's something you can leave behind and not feel too bad about if you forget it. That's why I use it. Let's start over. Hey, everybody. I love movies.
Starting point is 00:01:04 I'm Doug Benson, coming to you live on tape from the UCB Theater before Comedy Death Ray on Tuesday, March 23, 2010. Let's special thing.com, www.specialthing.com to vote. Not really vote, but just suggest who you'd like to see on the I Love Movies when Mr. John Lithgow shows up, which he has promised to do. So make sure to vote. And there's a couple of comics are running away with it. And so if you have a comedian or doesn't have to be a comedian, some votes have come in for Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who I have no way of contacting. I hope him and Mr. Lithgow are still on friendly terms.
Starting point is 00:01:55 I hope they haven't had one of those show business breakups or jealousies. I hope they're into each other, because then when John Lithgow says, I'm ready to do it, I'll say, well, can you bring Jordan Gordon-Levitt along? Why is his name
Starting point is 00:02:11 so hard to say? Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I was walking to the Denver airport the other day and I came up with a word for human beings
Starting point is 00:02:19 who don't walk fast enough and that word is slow-mo sapiens. Yeah, I tweeted it. I'm not kidding around. I was flying back from South by Southwest recently,
Starting point is 00:02:35 and I'd like to just give a shout-out to everyone who came out to the live podcast that we taped at South by Southwest. It hasn't started airing yet as of
Starting point is 00:02:48 today, Tuesday, March 23, 2010. But it'll be up soon, followed by this one. So when you're listening to this one, you probably will have heard that one. Or, I don't know. I don't know how you do it. Some of you might listen out of order. I don't give a shit. The bottom line is we did one at South by Southwest.
Starting point is 00:03:05 So I want to thank everyone that came out to that because that was a lot of fun. It's scary when you do it in another town because you worry that nobody cares because it's hard to tell in podcasting. But people turned out. It was really cool. And I had a great time at South by Southwest.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I saw a couple more movies since the episode we taped there. I saw a thing called Waking Sleeping Beauty, which has some... It's about Disney animation between, I think, like, 84 and 94, like, you know, that period
Starting point is 00:03:39 between Black Cauldron and Lion King. And there's some really funny shots of Tim Burton in that movie. Because he just like, he's an animator there and every time they show him he looks into the camera like just a complete weirdo. And the whole audience laughs like, Tim Burton was weird even then!
Starting point is 00:03:59 Isn't that adorable? That he is 100% weird. And I just want to say as a sidebar that when the Mad Depper did that dance in Alice in Wonderland, I don't want to spoil it for anybody because it's pretty much the only plot twist in the movie,
Starting point is 00:04:17 is that the Mad Hatter does a weird dance. I just want to say about that dance, it made me the opposite of happy when that occurred. dance. I just want to say about that dance, it made me the opposite of happy. When that occurred. And also in South by Southwest, I got to see a short film called Successful Alcoholics starring and
Starting point is 00:04:36 written by T.J. Miller and it was directed by a young man named Jordan Vogt Roberts and I just got to say, it's going to be going around to film festivals, but if you have anything, if any listeners have anything to do with any film festivals, please look out for it.
Starting point is 00:04:52 It's a short film, and I really enjoyed it, and I found it very entertaining. And one of my three guests tonight has a part in that short film. Please welcome out here my friend Nick Thune is here, everybody Please welcome out here my friend Nick Thune is here, everybody. Let's hear it for Nick
Starting point is 00:05:08 Thune. Who has an album out called Thick Noon. Which is a lot of fun. You just nailed it. I remember that. I'm excited. You got a lap break on my album title. Yeah, that's awesome.
Starting point is 00:05:32 And I heard from Jordan Vogt-Roberts that the movie you're in, Successful Alcoholics, is going to be playing at film festivals in Puerto Rico, where alcoholism, of course, is very popular. And successful. And success. And successfulness. And Sarasota, Florida Where not so much The success part No, a lot of alcoholics
Starting point is 00:05:48 But a lot of alcoholics So anyway So it was great And I don't know what else I want to say about it Well, it also was in Sundance Oh, it was in Sundance It was in Sundance
Starting point is 00:05:58 And then it was just In South by Southwest Like you said So you're on a hot streak There's a ton of comedians in it It's all Yeah, Whitney Cummings is in it Nick Kroll a hot streak. There's a ton of comedians in it. It's all basically the whole cast. Yeah, Whitney Cummings is in it.
Starting point is 00:06:06 Nick Kroll. Oh, that's so funny. They're both hilarious. And you're hilarious. Who's that lady that's in your scenes with you that plays your wife? That's a great question. We should check the IMDb page.
Starting point is 00:06:19 Wait a second. You didn't catch her name? Or was it done with special effects? You never met her. No. Did you have to put on a blue suit and sit in front of a dangle from wires? If you've seen the movie, it's especially funny, because every scene he's in, they're just eating dinner.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Yeah. They're just sitting at a table. I didn't even know they were shooting two scenes. I think they just cut up one scene and then bookended it. Oh, okay. Well, you did a great job. All of your character motivation was there the entire time. We kissed, actually, in a scene that didn't get
Starting point is 00:06:48 put in. You and the girl's name you don't remember. Yeah. Wow. And I ran into her in an audition last week. What was her... Do you remember her character name? I don't think there was a name established. Oh, okay. So she was just your wife, played by an actress? Yep. Blank. She was in Carpoolers with TJ. Oh, okay. Yeah. Alright,
Starting point is 00:07:04 well, maybe we'll get her on. I want to do either a Carpoolers reunion show with TJ and Jerry Miner and Fred Goss. We could reunite me and her. Is that how you say his name? Fred Goss. Who was the fourth one? Oh, Jerry O'Connell, who's a friend of the show. He's been on.
Starting point is 00:07:19 So I think I can make this happen. Jerry Miner has a tendency to not show up when he says he's going to. Not because he's black, but just because he's got shit to do. Also, please welcome, back by popular demand, mere weeks after their last appearance, Garfunkel and Oates are here, everybody. G and O in the house.
Starting point is 00:07:41 Big G, little O. Hello. Hi. Also known as Ricky Lindholm and Kate Micucci. Hi. Did I pronounce that right? Micucci? You did. Micucci.
Starting point is 00:07:55 I know. It sounds so dirty, doesn't it? Why? It's dirty and adorable. I didn't get it for a long time. Have you or anyone in your family ever said Mikuchi as Tsukuchi?
Starting point is 00:08:10 No, but we've played those games. Like, what names are funny? Like, if I married a guy with the last name Johnson, like the Johnson and Mikuchi wedding would be pretty amazing.
Starting point is 00:08:21 Do you know anybody with the last name Mibanyo? Um, no. How would that sound? Mi Baño, a Subaño. Okay. You went back to what I was talking about instead of capping on what she just did. I was still talking about that.
Starting point is 00:08:34 So let's just talk movie credentials for a second. Kate, I know that you've been in tons of commercials and TV shows, but I'm thinking, I didn't get a chance to get on IMDB today, even though I am DB. I didn't get a chance to look you up. What does DB stand for?
Starting point is 00:08:59 It's the internet movie Doug Benson. So I didn't get a chance to look you up, but I'm sure you've been in a movie or two. Yeah, I have. Yeah, what's the most mainstream movie that you've been in? The movie One in Rome that just came out a few months ago. Yes. I saw you in one of the commercials.
Starting point is 00:09:18 You did. You were Kristen Bell's friend. Yep. Who said something funny in one of the commercials, I think. That's me. I think you got a line out in the commercial the commercials, I think. That's me. I think you got a line out in the commercial. I think I did. Oh, okay. I just didn't see the actual movie. That was my line. Ricky knew my line.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Her line is, what are you going to wear? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then she knows exactly and it's like the idea is that every woman's going to want to watch this movie after they hear that. Is it giving away too much? Every woman clearly didn't hear that. Is it giving away too much? Every woman clearly didn't hear that. Is it giving away too much
Starting point is 00:09:48 if you actually tell us what she wore? I just know it was open-toed peep shoes. She blurts something out that's very Sex and the City. I'm just like... No, no, no. I was just clearing my throat to say that sounds awesome.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Kristen Bell is a fan of the show. She's engaged to Dax Shepard, who I shouldn't say she's a fan of the show. I meant friend of the show. She's engaged to Dax Shepard, who's been on before. And Ricky, I happen to know, is an amazing actress because I've known her for a few years. And whenever she shows up in a movie, I'm like, that's not that person that I know. That's insane how you act in movies. Dare I say it, do you guys even recognize her?
Starting point is 00:10:32 She played the Hilary Swank's cunt sister in Million Dollar Baby. Do you guys even remember that that was her? Looking at her now, you can't even put it together, right? Go back and watch Million Dollar Baby, which is a great movie if you like you know watching boxing movies where head injury puts somebody into it yeah she's a paraplegic
Starting point is 00:10:52 not in a coma yeah paraplegic yeah and she plays the sister who shows up and is all like hey can we have all your shit and do you mind if we unplug you or what you know it's like it's so fucking harsh we try to make her sign away all her money with her by putting a pen in her And do you mind if we unplug you? It's so fucking harsh. We try to make her sign away all her money by putting a pen in her mouth
Starting point is 00:11:08 and sign it with her teeth. Yeah. You're such white trash in that movie. But you as a person, I would never have a reason to use the C word to describe you, but that character... Do you know I got that part because Clint Eastwood saw me playing Condoleezza Rice
Starting point is 00:11:23 in a play. Yeah. Do you know I got that part because Clint Eastwood saw me playing Condoleezza Rice in a play? Clint's a fucking visionary because he makes pretty awesome movies but never does more than two takes of anything. No, yeah. He just hires the right actors because they don't have time to fuck it up. He's just like, we're good. When he was making Gran Torino, he was even in the scenes. the right actors because they don't have time to fuck it up. No, yeah. He's just like, we're good, you know? Like, when he was making Gran Torino,
Starting point is 00:11:47 he was even in the scenes. He was just like, Ching Chong, Chinatown, cut! Get off my lawn! One take, we're out! That's totally true. People are like,
Starting point is 00:11:56 how long did you work on that movie? I was like, three hours. Literally. Oh, you was like, there for one day. But you had like,
Starting point is 00:12:02 two scenes, right? Yeah. Yeah, and they were pivotal, important, weirdo scenes like two scenes, right? Yeah. Yeah, and they were pivotal important Weirdo scenes. You're really great in that so And I I already knew you when I saw it and I think it took a few minutes for me to figure out it was you even For million-dollar, baby. Yeah, I don't think today I went in for some sitcom and the guy was like you were in last house on the Left he's like you're so different. He goes. Thank God. You're not that mean and psycho and I was like you were in Last House on the Left he's like you're so different he goes thank god you're not that mean and psycho
Starting point is 00:12:25 and I was like thanks and he's like yeah you seem pretty normal I'm like thanks sir that movie gives you license you should just run in topless and stab every every casting director you should just come in and just be that character and just be like hey sorry that's
Starting point is 00:12:41 what I am I never got out of character. That's awesome. And then, of course, Nick Thune, everybody knows from the scene in the parking lot in Knocked Up. A lot of people know me from that. Yeah, a lot of people are like, you got a lot of followers on Twitter from that?
Starting point is 00:12:59 Yeah. Actually, a lot of comedy clubs like to put on the reader board, Nick Thune from Knocked Up. I hate it when they do that. Like, they do that to me. They'll put, like, from Curb Your Enthusiasm. And so everybody's like, what were you in Curb Your Enthusiasm? I'm like, oh, I played Jeff Green as Agent.
Starting point is 00:13:14 You know, because that's a shorter conversation than, oh, there was an episode where a guy died. And I played his nephew. And I accused Larry of killing him. And I got him in a headlock. People are asleep and don't care already at that point. It's ridiculous to base... Yeah, what were you in Knocked Up? How do you describe it if somebody asks you?
Starting point is 00:13:34 I was a friend of Katherine Heigl. And the backstory that Judd gave me that day on set, which wasn't in the script... Nice! ...was that I was her ex-boyfriend and I run into him outside of the baby store and he tells me seth or seth rogan says yes we're having a baby and that's the first person they've told it to and then i'm go back and watch that scene again to see nick's amazing animosity like
Starting point is 00:13:57 oh i used to fuck that shit how could you put a baby in my shit yeah i'm gonna go back and look for that because you did seem you seem did seem like you took it a little hard when you shouldn't have given a shit. Because we don't know your backstory, so you seem a little weirdly devastated. I also noticed that it is the worst edited scene in the movie because I look like I'm about to talk, but then it just cuts away.
Starting point is 00:14:20 So for me in the theater, it was so disappointing. You know, first Katherine Heigl talks shit about the Apatow machine, and now you're here doing it? No, just that one scene. I'm talking about the editor. Judd's cousin. So what have you guys seen lately?
Starting point is 00:14:38 Have you been to the movies lately, any of you? Or seen one in a plane? I just saw The Runaways. Or on Netflix? Oh, I saw Blindside. I saw Blindside, too, on a plane. We watched Blind runaways or on netflix oh i saw blindsided i saw blindside too on a plane yeah it's a very popular plane movie i was looking when i was flying back i was on a too short of a plane flight to get uh that movie in uh so we just saw like an episode of the office but uh in the program in the magazine hemispheres on United. They have like the
Starting point is 00:15:05 you know sort of the poster for the blind side and Sandra Bullock's ass in the poster looks a million times better than it does
Starting point is 00:15:13 in the movie. Not a million times but they definitely made it better. Or in person. It's probably a bad time to talk about it that way. She's in a lot of pain.
Starting point is 00:15:22 She just got blindsided. The big black guy has a load in his pants? It looks like he took a dump and is sitting there. She took in a big black baby and showed him how to live and love. But I'm not even kidding. I can't believe everyone else didn't notice. I was like, what is going on with his pants?
Starting point is 00:15:38 I think it's just football pants. They have padding and stuff. I don't watch football. Their butts are not shaped like normal butts. Oh. They've got a lot of extra business going on in there. Football pants again. In case they get butt punched out on the field.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Wait, what movie did you say you saw, Kate? The Runaways. I went the other night to see it. Oh, the Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning growing up way too fast. It's weird to see her, you know, doing drugs
Starting point is 00:16:07 and kissing girls and stuff. Oh, wait a second. I just thought there was drugs. If there's kissing girls, I'm in. That sounds awesome.
Starting point is 00:16:17 But I'm going to picture her from like, you know, five movies ago in my head. Yeah, why not make it
Starting point is 00:16:24 extra creepy? I am a fan. She did that movie that nobody's seen hound dog where she got raped on camera that's not i don't think that's gonna work out good yeah i saw the news stories on that what about was that charlotte's web i don't know i think I think people are a little too weird about rape honestly wait a second I do this just in I think you're right
Starting point is 00:16:53 it's on the CNN ticker a recent poll discovered that people are too weird about rape they are it's like a big huge deal if someone gets raped in a movie but not if they get murdered
Starting point is 00:17:04 and I think I don't know I think killing a movie But not if they get murdered And I think I don't know I think killing someone Is kind of worse I don't know I think I'd rather be killed than raped If I had a choice
Starting point is 00:17:13 Really? Yeah But I definitely don't want to be Rape killed No I don't want the humiliation of rape And then dying at the end of it No
Starting point is 00:17:21 I'm an either or kind of girl At least Yeah At least rape you first, you know? Oh. No, I kill you first. That's what I meant. I said that in the wrong direction, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Rape my dead body for all I care. Go with both ears. I don't give a shit at that point. Aw. Aw. I have tiny ears. Oh, after your partner says rape's not too weird. Your partner, I like that.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Your partner. like that calling partners yeah people always think we're lesbians because I call her my partner in interviews and stuff and so they just think that you're the Tegan and Sarah of people that are not
Starting point is 00:17:55 Tegan and Sarah I knew there would be a twist at the end of that I had to twist it Nick it's what I do alright but speaking of your music and of movies um i i heard recently you have a song that is uh sort of inspired by a movie the the the movie is uh should we say the movie or do you want to just play the song well the song is called
Starting point is 00:18:20 running with chicken based on the movie precious based on the novel push by sapphire okay so that's what the song's called that doesn Chicken based on the movie Precious based on the novel Push by Sapphire. Okay, so that's what the song's called, but that doesn't necessarily get away what movie we're talking about. So why don't you guys jump up, and this is going to be a debut performance of this new song with the title that's too long for me to remember. And we just wrote it on the plane, so we don't know the words yet. Well, podcast listeners wouldn't have known that. Oh, damn. I read every question off a piece of paper. They don't know the words yet. Podcast listeners wouldn't have known that. I read every question off a piece of paper. They don't know.

Starting point is 00:27:26 That's Butterfield 8. Way to go, Butterfield 8. We should go to the audience more often on that game. Keep it moving. But now it's time. Oh, perfect timing. This is great. It's time for the Leonard Maltin game.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Yes. People love it or they don't. But I played anyway. And tonight, the subject, in honor of Garfunkel and Oates, and their second appearance here on the show, and Nick Thune, you know, he's here too. Throw me in. In honor of the three of them, these are famous buddies,
Starting point is 00:27:55 famous pairings in motion pictures. You know, like Butch and Sundance, Tango and Cash, Freddy and his fingers. You know what I'm talking about. And basically I will play the game as usual But you know that clue I hadn't worked out what I was going to say in between that
Starting point is 00:28:14 So it came out clumsily I'm pushing Leonard Maltin's face right now Because I used his app on the old iPhone And I'm hiding it from Nick Thune who's trying to look over my shoulder. He's just trying to see how you had your application set up. You're a tall drink of water, Nick Thune.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Don't forget, the record's called Thick Noon. No one forgot. It's available. Somebody must have Okay Since you're the new player You've never experienced before Nick, we'll start with you
Starting point is 00:28:52 And girls, you're against each other this time Last time you played against Hard and Firm As two teams against each other But tonight, you're on your own Alright Because Nick can't play against the two of you. Backstage, he was like, I'm going to be terrible at this. Okay.
Starting point is 00:29:08 So let's see what happens when you all play. But there's strategy involved. You can win without knowing shit, and it happens every single time. Okay, so Nick, you pick the year. Would you like to guess a movie from 1988, 2003, or 1986? 2003. Good, because I was wrong about 86. That's a 56. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:36 All right, 2003. Here we go. This movie, Leonard Maltin didn't really care for it. Let's see something that he said about it. He says, the star teaming is no longer fresh. The star
Starting point is 00:29:54 teaming is no longer fresh. The two people, David Spade, Chris Farley, black sheep. Now listen, Nick. Those kind of show-offy moves rarely pay off. You can sit back and sort of let the bidding
Starting point is 00:30:11 kind of help you to determine that you were wrong with that answer. No, you were wrong. I would have jumped out of my seat and high-fived you if you were right. Because that was pretty ballsy of you. But instead, I will tell you if you were right. Because that was pretty ballsy of you. But instead, I will tell you
Starting point is 00:30:26 that you have... There's a total of eight names here. So you could start the bidding even though you already put in a wrong guess. I'm still going to let you start the bidding. You can start at eight names or any amount of names you think you can get it in.
Starting point is 00:30:42 And you're just going to give me as many as I want? You can start at eight. Oh, start at eight. All right, I'll take eight. Then the bidding will move on to Ricky, who will say how many names you think you can get it in, Ricky. Oh, then let's try four. You can't.
Starting point is 00:30:54 I don't know. I don't know. I'm just... Nick, the part where I asked you to listen to the podcast... I did. No, and I said four. ...and understand how the game is played... That's one of the top complaints I get from listeners, or viewers, And understand how the game is played.
Starting point is 00:31:07 That's one of the top complaints I get from listeners. Or viewers. People are just staring at it for no reason. The big complaint I get all the time is the guests don't know how to play the game. And it's frustrating to listen to. So, Nick, please. Get your shit together. It's called Thick Noon.
Starting point is 00:31:24 It's available. It's called Thick Noon. It's available. Okay, so you want to start with four then? He's bidding with four. So Ricky's going to either bid less than four or say name that movie. Name that movie.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Yeah, you're fucked, dude. You're not going to get this. I can't even tell who these names are. Here's a better way of saying that. I don't recognize any of these people. Gemma Jones was in this movie. Donnie Yen. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:31:57 Donnie Yen. I think Donnie's a dude's name, but I'm not sure. Fan Wang was in this movie. These are actually kind of good clues. Some people in the audience know it already. And Aidan Gillen was in this movie. And it's a buddy picture
Starting point is 00:32:12 that came out in 2003. The Leonard Maltin says it's no longer fresh. What's your guess? A buddy movie, 2003. No longer fresh. And I don't recognize any of those names. Right, but many of them are Asian.
Starting point is 00:32:26 Uh-huh. Okay. Oh. Really? Are you stalling? No, I just... Was that stalling? No. Sometimes if I think...
Starting point is 00:32:38 Maybe if I think I know it, I'll just know it. That's right. Convince yourself to know it. Yeah. Do you have a guess? No. Okay. That's right. Convince yourself to know it. Yeah. Do you have a guess? No. Okay. Wait. No. Ricky, it's going to be your point anyway. You can take a guess if you want. I can't remember the name of it. Is that Jackie Chan, Chris Tucker one?
Starting point is 00:32:56 No, no. It's not Chris Tucker. It's Owen Wilson. And it was called Shanghai Nights with a K. Oh, man. Yeah, I know. People in the audience do it I love Shanghai Noon The title of your next album
Starting point is 00:33:14 Alright So this part always pisses people off Because I accidentally go very arbitrary. So the point goes to Ricky. Not accidentally. I have a way in my head that I do it, but people think I'm cheating. But we're going to start now with Kate on this next one.
Starting point is 00:33:37 Does that make sense? I think it does. But people in the audience are always like, no, that doesn't make any sense. What are you doing? I'm like, well, the person that wasn't involved and also didn't get a point should get to go next. All right.
Starting point is 00:33:49 Ricky, do you want to see a movie from, do you want to talk about a movie from 88, 19? Or, what was it, 56 or 79? Is this me or Ricky? Who picks? You pick, Kate. Oh, I do? Okay.
Starting point is 00:34:08 88, please. 88, you got it. 19. All right, this is a buddy picture, like two well-known actors or actresses or an actor and actress together. Leonard Walton liked this movie quite a bit, gave it three and a half stars.
Starting point is 00:34:22 I think it deserves more, personally. Let's see. Let me give quite a bit. Gave it three and a half stars. I think it deserves more, personally. Let's see. Let me give you a clue. It says it's a blend of violence and comedy. Blend of violence and comedy from 1988. And you have eight names. Oh. I'm going to say...
Starting point is 00:34:45 How many names do you think you can get it in? Four? Four names? What? Okay, now it goes to Nick. You can go less names, you can say name that movie. I'm going to say name that movie. Oh, Nick, going for the point.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Vicious. Here we go. These are your four names. Richard Forony? Forony? Yeah, I don't know who that is. Wendy Phillips. I know who she is. She has a gap in her teeth. Joe Pantoliano was in this. Kind of low build for Joey Pants. And then also kind of lowly build for his stature, Dennis Farina is your fourth name. Dennis Farina, Joe Pantoliano, Wendy Phillips, and Richard
Starting point is 00:35:25 Blur. 1988. Three and a half stars. Should have gave it more. My opinion. Am I supposed to guess or is Nick supposed to guess? No, it's you. Oh, I have no idea. Am I supposed to guess
Starting point is 00:35:42 this? Because if I'm supposed to guess, I don't know. I'm out. Nothing? I have no idea. I'll give you the rest of the names. Somebody just yell it out when they know it. John Ashton, Yafit Kodo, Charles Grodin, Robert De Niro. Midnight Run.
Starting point is 00:35:56 Midnight Run. Midnight Run. Might have been cheating a little bit. I don't know if Charles Grodin, you think of him as like a star of buddy picture level. He was in all of those, all of the overtures, right? I think so.
Starting point is 00:36:13 Or did he drop out? I bet you Grodin wasn't in the they made three or four of them, I think. Alright, so Nick gets a point. So Nick and Ricky each have a point. First person to two wins. We're doing good on time. So nobody panic. And now I'm going to start with Ricky. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:31 Hope that makes sense. What year would you like, 88 again or? 88 again? 66. Yeah, I got another 88. 88 again. Oh, really? You don't even want to know the other years oh yeah sorry what are they
Starting point is 00:36:46 you're probably going to go 88 66 or 73 I'll go 88 here we go three stars I agree with that but I don't know let's not get into that laughter
Starting point is 00:37:03 laughter um No, I don't know. Let's not get into that. Top drawer performances. Yeah, this movie does not have middle drawer or lower drawer or no drawer at all performances. These are fucking top drawer. Top shelf would probably be better.
Starting point is 00:37:26 Because then it's out there for everybody to see on top of the drawers. But anyway, he gives it three stars, calls it top drawer. I'll give you another clue because that doesn't really help at all. The director appears in the movie in a cameo.
Starting point is 00:37:43 It's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven names you have to start the bidding with. Seven names. I can do it in six. Oh, I like that. Daring player. Kate? Oh, it's me?
Starting point is 00:37:54 Okay. So I can go less or say name it? Or say name it. Then I'm going to say four. Four names. Nick? I have kind of a feeling what way you're going to go with this. Name that movie.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Name that movie. Alright, well I think Nick's going to be our winner. And I never bothered. Why don't you guys remind me I didn't bother to get people that you're playing for so I have no one to give the prizes to. Oh, crap. I'll just throw the prizes
Starting point is 00:38:26 into the audience. All right. And then I'll name who the shithead is. I'm playing for that guy. Nice. Oh, okay. Then I guess that guy is going to win the prizes. All right. Here are the four names.
Starting point is 00:38:43 Kate, good luck. Bonnie Hunt was in this movie. This is 1988? All right. Here are the four names. Kate, good luck. Oh, okay. Bonnie Hunt was in this movie. This is 1988? Yeah, she was seventh billed in a 1988 movie. Rain Man. That's correct. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Yay. We have our own little rain girl over here. Wow. That was amazing. Thank you. She's the waitress who drops all the toothpicks. Mm-hmm. Wow.
Starting point is 00:39:13 Nicely done. Thank you, thank you. Incredible. How many years later was Jerry Maguire? That's what I might have thought it was, because she was in that. Oh, right, 90, what was it, 96? Yeah, she was his sister. A lot of years later, I guess.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Yeah. Tom Cruise She was his sister. A lot of years later, I guess. Tom Cruise is a lot older. Valeria Golino. Whatever happened to her? Besides everybody using her name for a sexually transmitted disease. That's probably what knocked her out of the business. Alright, so how many points does everybody have? We're one across the board. One apiece?
Starting point is 00:39:43 Now let's pick people for you to play for. All right, so Nick's playing for that guy. What's your name? Brian. Brian. All right, Brian. Ricky, who are you playing for? Just pick somebody.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Sweatshirt guy. Of course. The guy with the shorts and the sweatshirt. He's dressed to impress. Yeah. And Kate, since I usually get people from over here, could you pick somebody from this row right here to play for? Oh, this girl's waving so nicely in the pink.
Starting point is 00:40:04 Oh, pink top. All right. What's your name This girl's waving so nicely in the pink. Oh, Pink Top. All right. What's your name, Pink Top? What? Star. Star. What? Wow.
Starting point is 00:40:11 And what's your name? My name's David. David. All right. Ricky's playing for David. Kate's playing for Star. And Nick is playing for? Brian.
Starting point is 00:40:19 Brian. All right. Here we go. Wow. This is exciting. And who got the last one? You got it right So we'll start with Nick
Starting point is 00:40:27 I don't know I don't know anymore I don't trust myself Alright, let's go 66, 73, or 91, Nick? 91 Alright, you guys don't like the old ones I don't blame you
Starting point is 00:40:42 Again, three stars Some people might question the three stars. It's kind of a popular movie. You can't use that as judging what movie it is. Right? What? That's what you're saying. I'm just saying. It's a tricky clue
Starting point is 00:40:57 that they only gave it three stars. Leonard's a rebel. Okay. He says the stars of this movie give it a lot. Okay. He says the stars of this movie give it a lot of juice. Though it still covers all too familiar territory.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Okay, that's what Len says about it. And there are nine names. Start it off, Nick Thune.une i'm gonna go for eight names eight names says nick thune i can do it in seven names ricky says seven five kate says five nick four four names name that movie all right, so who is Kate playing for? Star. Star, I'm sorry, Star.
Starting point is 00:41:49 There's no way for you to win. Darn it. Yeah. But Ricky's playing for... David. David. And Nick's playing for Brian. Brian.
Starting point is 00:42:00 I'm so excited I remembered. Okay. Okay. The four names are Lucinda Jenny, Timothy Carthart, Brad Pitt, and Stephen Tobolowsky.
Starting point is 00:42:19 I know this one. Can you repeat that girl's name again? Lucinda Jenny Just wanted to hear it I think I know what it is Alright, well you can guess and win I think that it is God, I'm wrong
Starting point is 00:42:37 If you have a title, say it If you thought of something it might be Then there's a good chance it is should I if you think if you thought of something it might be then there's a good chance it is it Legends of the Fall oh no Brad Pitt was like second or
Starting point is 00:42:51 third he was probably second build in that after Anthony Hopkins but he had a smaller part in Thelma and Louise that's right Thelma and Louise
Starting point is 00:42:58 oh everyone's so disappointed what a sad ending to that one well that description was really misleading I thought it was
Starting point is 00:43:07 Thelma and Louise and you said 91 until you read that description I know he only gave it three stars yeah
Starting point is 00:43:12 it's kind of weird because I think it's a good movie and then he said that whole thing about the juice but it covers too familiar territory
Starting point is 00:43:21 yeah every other movie was a couple of broads driving into the Grand Canyon. Fucking tired of that. Give me something different, like an old man with balloons on a house. All right, so what's your name again?
Starting point is 00:43:36 Just David. David, just David. He was worried I was going to give out the whole thing. What's your social? What's your social? All right, so you ladies can pass these down to David. David wins a cornucopia of awesomeness
Starting point is 00:43:49 from my bag. He wins, oh no, he wins multiple t-shirts. He wins a copy of the Dirty Laundry book that's got lots of funny people wrote essays in there. It's called Dirty Laundry and it's available on Something Something Books.
Starting point is 00:44:05 That'd be a good name for a book company. He also wins a T-shirt that says Parlor Live on it, because they gave me one, and it's too small for me. Parlor Live's a comedy club in Bellevue, Washington, that I like to play. And I was at South by Southwest, so I got a Tito's Handmade handmade vodka t-shirt from South by Southwest. And then finally you get a two-trunk to tweet shirt that
Starting point is 00:44:29 of course is available at donkeytees.com. It's a shirt that I invented. And yeah, my idea is to put the holes in it. And congratulations. I already forgot your name again, David. Congratulations, David. And you guys, we've got to go really quick,
