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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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!
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
Big G, little O.
Hello.
Hi.
Also known as
Ricky Lindholm
and Kate Micucci.
Hi. Did I pronounce that right?
Micucci? You did. Micucci.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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
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
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,
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,
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,
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
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
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?
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
But I'm going to
picture her
from like,
you know,
five movies ago
in my head.
Yeah,
why not make it
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
So let's go ahead and
Are you guys ready?
Let me give you a professional introduction.
Here they are playing the thing.
When your day is bad and you're feeling sad and you're kind of mad and you're sure not glad
and you're thinking this is the opposite of rad.
When things are tough and you've had enough
and the going gets rough and you're in a huff
and a whole bunch of real bad other stuff
You know it's true
One thing left to do
Go run it with chicken
Go run it with your deep fried dreams
When your extra crispy destiny awaits
Go run it with chicken
Original recipe Time to risk it, tape the biscuit Destiny awaits Go running with chicken Our original recipe
Time to risk it
Take the biscuit and fly
Go running with chicken
Precious bursts out of the restaurant
With the bucket under one arm
And sprints down the block
You've had it up to here
And it's all you fear
Nothing's clear, you're sheer out of cheer
And you're looking for a friend that might be near
When you're feeling spastic and it's not fantastic
It's hard to be sarcastic when your pants are elastic
And it's time to do something drastic
You're on the prowl
To jank that fowl.
Go run it with chicken.
Your Kentucky Fried Bait unfurls.
You can eat so you don't ever have to feel.
Go run it with chicken.
Even if you can't move real fast, just say fuck it, take the bucket, and fly.
Go run it with chicken.
It's not racist, cause white people like chicken too.
Time to face it, everyone around the world is better
because of chicken.
Yes.
Yes.
Running with Chicken
based on the novel
Sapphire by Push.
Yes.
A Garfunkel and Oates
premiere debut
here on my podcast.
I'm so excited.
And I don't know
if we mentioned this
the last time you guys were on.
The two of you met through me.
Here.
Yeah, right here at UCB.
Here at this very UCB theater.
In the lobby.
Because I was doing my Benson Interruption show
and you both came out to see it.
Yeah, we were on bad dates
and we were waiting in the lobby
and not talking to our dates.
Terrible dates.
Yeah, yeah.
I invited both of you to come
and I was like,
they brought dates?
I thought they both should have thought
they were here just to hang out with me.
No, but that's awesome.
So you didn't see either of those guys ever again?
Well, for a little while.
I unfortunately was dating the guy.
Oh, you were already dating him.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I went like two more weeks with my guy.
He was really cute.
Yeah, I thought so.
I was like, oh, man.
I'm glad she brought this cutie.
That's pretty sweet.
Oops.
Do you guys, let me ask you this.
Do you guys want to play the,
do you know the game Build a Title?
Do you want to take a swing at that?
That's where we get a title.
Either I pick one or the audience does,
and we just try to add to it.
Oh, that one, yeah.
Take turns adding to it.
Let's do it and um
it's there's no more fun game to play in front of an audience member with uh plaid shorts and his
arms crossed um like the bottom of me is perfectly comfortable but up top i'm chilly and mad
kind of paraphrasing an
Arch Barker joke about sleeveless
you know those down vests that are sleeveless
but anyway
more to the point
let's get a just yell out a title
from the audience that we can
use for a build a title
Con Air
Air Bud
so alright so we. Con Air. Air Bud?
Oh, no way.
So we got Con Air Bud.
Constantine.
That doesn't work.
Constantine Air Bud.
Was there a movie called Buddy?
There had to be.
Yeah, there was.
I think it starred that guy that died. Right? Wasn't there a Brad Renfro movie called Buddy? Oh, there was. I think that was, it starred that guy that died.
Right?
Wasn't there a Brad Renfro movie called Buddy?
Oh, Bully.
Bully.
Oh, shit.
That movie was dark as shit.
Yeah, that movie's good.
I liked it.
I liked it.
There's rapes in that.
No big deal.
She's like the Mr. Skin for rapes. There's total... There's total NDB rape in that movie.
No big deal.
It's like Bill Murray eating the candy bar
in Caddyshack in the pool.
Whatever.
No big deal.
Just a rape.
Are we screwed with this?
I'm not even going to check it out too much.
I'm just going to check.
I'm just going to take a bite.
Yeah, can we go back?
Maybe we shouldn't do...
What are you guys talking about?
Maybe Bud is too difficult.
Con Air Bud is too difficult?
Yeah.
No, there's a movie with Bud at the beginning of it.
Con Air...
Bud...
Budling.
Oh, that's Jamie Masada.
Butter?
Butter?
Is there a movie that begins with butter?
What about something that ends in con?
There's something that ends in con for sure.
It's not Necronomicon,
but there's got to be some
science fiction-y thing that ends in con.
Yeah.
Right?
I agree.
People in the audience think they might know.
There should be.
Wrath of Con.
Oh, there you go.
Wrath of Con Air Bud.
Oh, nice.
Now I need something that ends in wrath. Grapes of Wrath. Grapes of Wrath Con Air Bud. Oh, nice. Now I need something that ends in wrath.

Now we need something that ends in grapes.
Or no what's, right?
What?
Oh, wait, what's.
What's eating Gilbert grape?
Right, what's.
Nothing ends in what's.
Something ends in just what?
What's.
What's.
What's. What's. Is there like a sequel to Look Who's Talking? What's. What's. Futs.
Muts.
Is there like a sequel to Look Who's Talking?
Muts. Wasn't there something called Muts?
There's a cartoon.
There's gotta be something called Muts.
There isn't. I call dibs.
I'll make something about a bunch of dogs
called Muts.
You gotta put that in the mail and send it back to yourself.
Is that how it works? I thought you just had to tweet it to yourself
Totally time stamped
Perfectly legal
That's pretty good though
We got a good title there
I don't know if we can add to that or not
What's eating Gilbert?
Grapes of wrath of Khan
Air Bud
Does anybody have anything to add?
Butterfield 8

Head of State.
Head of State.
And then there's
State of Play.
Oh, State of Play.
Maine would stop it,

Yeah. What movie begins with Maine?
Maine lines some of this fucking shit into your arm, bitch.
State of Play.
State of Play.
State of Play.
Errs.
There's a movie called Players.
Anyway, let's end this.
This is ridiculous.
That was a really good suggestion.
You guys are too good at this.
You guys are good.
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
Uh-huh. Okay.
Oh.
Really?
Are you stalling?
No, I just...
Was that stalling?
No.
Sometimes if I think...
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
I'm so excited I remembered.
Okay.
Okay.
The four names are
Lucinda Jenny,
Timothy Carthart,
Brad Pitt,
and Stephen Tobolowsky.
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
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
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
oh
everyone's so
disappointed
what a sad ending
to that one
well that description
was really misleading
I thought it was
Thelma and Louise
and you said 91
until you read
that description
I know
he only gave it
three stars
yeah
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
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?
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
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.
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
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,
but do you guys have anything you want to plug before we go?
Yeah, well, we have a show.
