Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby, sticky seeds with 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves boobies! You know, after all these years, I still agree with the people who think it sounds like Doug loves boobies. Hey, hey, hey everybody! My name is Doug, and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies, recording on Sunday, January 7th, 2023 with my guests

Nicky Bond, Doug Mellard, and Jeff Tate. Happy New Year. Happy New Year! Happy New Year! My plan is I'm going to say that at the beginning of this show until someone gets mad about it. I'm thinking I could probably get into February

before someone just goes, what are you fucking... Let's meet all of you individually and alphabetically by first name. Sorry, Nikki. He's a returning champ that shocked everyone with his win in San Antonio, Texas. There were no LOLs that day at the LOL Comedy Club. It's Doug Mellard. Hey, dude. I shocked myself. I know you did. It was really an all-around surprise,

but that's the fun of games like this, is that anyone can take a swing and connect on occasion or just play against vastly inferior contestants. You just never know what's going to lead to a win. But I brought in the big guns today, buddy. Oh. Yeah. I'm not screwing around.

Just call him whatever you want. I'm allergic to that word. Hey. Hey. Okay. Bruce. He's. What does that mean?

A friend of mine said they don't like saying god bless you so they just started saying bruce you know i knew exactly what you were doing when you did it and i don't know why i had to ask i knew it was a substitution and i just you know we still you still have end up having to say it that's the problem when you say something that's not gesundheit and my whole life as a teen and as a young adult i was always very uncomfortable with gesundheit because i just never felt like i was pronouncing it right and people would you know be like you know what's wrong with you and god bless you i don't like for obvious reasons he is gun number one returning from his win in december of 2023

jeff tate well hello how's it going good happy new year happy new year to you you sound like you're in a good mood probably because uh you know you get less get less Santa references in the off season. Yes. They go down considerably this time of year. October to Jan 2 or 3 must be a nightmare for you. Real nightmare.

And then, of course, yesterday I got a lot of questions. With the way my... It's a shit-burn holiday and i got that dumb face all right people aren't even hearing this until monday january 8th so let's be let's be the uh thing they listen to that morning that doesn't uh bring that whole thing up because boys the morning news shows are probably gonna make a big meal out of it. And always welcome on the show. She had a four-win streak when she first joined us.

Could be a made-up statistic. I'm just guessing. It's Nikki Bond. Nikki, hello. Hi. Yeah, that was pretty shocking for me, too. When you said the big guns, I was like, oh, that is not me. I am a I'm an underdog. But you won four times in a row. I did. It was insane.

I don't know what happened. Don't be scared. I don't you know, I think that I think he should be scared. But you never know. And that's part of the fun. If he won today, that would be very, very entertaining. Yeah. And I would be impressed with myself.

And you know what? I felt very validated after this show. So that's what I'm striving for, validation. Well, I tell you, I think you have a chance today, based on nothing else besides having a movie theater snack as your last name. It's, you know, Bond times two. I was making for it, yeah. A movie treat.

Okay, we're going to play the games in a moment but first it's recommendation time um this is the question i'm asking all month on the show what is your personal pick for favorite slash best because people like to debate that there's a difference between those two, and I sort of agree, but let's just lump them together. What's your favorite or best movie of 2023? Doug, we'll start with you. Ooh.

That's a tough question. I know I wouldn't be able to answer it if you asked me. I don't know. If the Doug was on the other foot, I don't think i could do it because i haven't seen like five or six of the movies that people are claiming are the best yeah yeah i don't know how many big movies i saw but i really like see that's what it comes down to of what you saw what's your favorite maybe? Maybe because it might be recency bias,

but I really like Dream Scenario, the new Nick Cage flick. It was really fun. Maybe you dreamt that you like it. Maybe that is part of the scenario. Have you seen that one yet, Jeff? No. Nikki? No, Jeff? No. Nikki? No, I haven't.

It's the new Nicolas Cage movie. The latest one. They happen every three or four months, which is kind of fun. Because he's a working actor. He just goes to work. But this one is... I liked it. I liked it.

I liked it a lot. Felt like a short film like stretched out to a feature, but nonetheless, it's enjoyable. Okay. Yeah. It's Doug Mellard's favorite movie of the year. It also has a really good fart joke in it.

Hey, no spoilers! Well, you don't know when it's coming. There was another word he could have said along with fart, and it would have been more of a spoiler. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, if you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about.

It's hilarious and disgusting. All right, so, but yeah, I think it's a good movie, and, But yeah, I think it's a good movie. And I think it's fair to say of the films that you saw, because you can't really just pick a movie you didn't see. In that case, mine is Flowers of a Killer Moon. I haven't seen that yet. I want to call it Flower of the Killer Killer Moon. I haven't seen that yet. I want to call it Flower of the

Killer's Moon. Or Too Long of a Title for Me to Ever Get Right is another thing I want to call it. Scenario. Jeff. You said it. Now I don't know what that movie's called.

The Flowers of the Killer Moon? Yes. Yes. Killers Moon, I guess, would be like there's about one killer, but this is about the genocide of the people. So I think it's already weird to be a thing that people give thumbs up you know wow okay sounds heavy but all right uh jeff you've been on the show while i've been asking that question i believe is that true yeah yeah what did you say last time? I said Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem.

Okay. And so in the interim, has your opinion changed or would you like to maintain that it's still your favorite of 2023? Oh, I'm going to just maintain it. I didn't know I could maintain it. So let's keep that going. It's still my favorite. Yeah, I think it's totally fair

that you're already on the record of saying it's your favorite, so it's a lot to ask you to switch to a different favorite. That could happen to me, because I have, I could give you my favorite right now, but like for instance, I haven't seen The Holdovers, which everybody raves about,

and so I figure it's just got a very good chance of, you know, becoming my number one, as do a few other films. All right. Mutant Mayhem, it's called? Correct. T-M-N-T, Mutant Mayhem. Yeah, number one. Scenario.

Scenario. All right, Nicky. We talked about it the last time Jeff brought it up, but it's animated, and it sounds like it's just very clever and fun and voiced by actual teenagers. Was that the other thing you said, Jeff? Yeah.

They actually, like the turtles, seem like teenagers. Was that the other thing you said, Jeff? Yeah, they actually, like the turtles, seem like teenagers. Yeah, so I still got to check it out. I think it's on, I think it's streaming on Powered Out Plus currently. Correct. Can't wait. Okay, Nikki, what's your favorite movie of last year?

Well, I'm a female, so I'm going to saybie okay i mean that's a lot of people's favorite movie it was really quite uh beloved it was an event more so it was like it got me out to the theater i spent the money um yeah but i also just recently watched Reptile and I really liked that too. So that I'll stick to Barbie because I got to, you know, play my role in society. So Barbie. Reptile is misleading title. Yes. Yes.

Yes. Damn it. Just like when I went and saw Kiss of the spider woman i was really disappointed in the lack of spider women except for fantasy sequences where they weren't really a spider per se um so uh barbie let's get back to barbie some people are upset that it just got it's on like the long list for uh oscar for they they are they decided the category it belongs in is uh adapted screenplay some people are upset because they think that screenplay was so original but i i argue that well that she didn't she didn't come up with barbie ken barbie's dream yeah Dream House, Alan. The world was sort of

established in many dolls and games and movies and TV shows. It's not like they just made up that whole world. But it's still a very inventive movie and it's nominated for an Oscar possibly for

writing. It'll be nominated for an oscar possibly for uh you know uh writing so that's and it'll be nominated for a ton of others it's just uh oppenheimer and barbie just really they're such a steamroller they usually two movies that open in summer are not really the top contenders for all the major awards by you know now in january febru. The awards aren't even until March still. It's crazy. Golden Globes are tonight, but I just watch that for the entertainment value. And I don't take it seriously at all because it's a bunch of entertainment journalists.

Have you ever met one? Hi, I'm an entertainment entertainment journalist get out of my face i'd probably get along with all those i don't know so uh those are the three dream scenario mutant mayhem and barbie that'd be a fun, long title. Barbie Dream Scenario Mutant Mayhem. Yeah. Yeah. Because that sounds like the fifth or sixth in a series of video games.

All right. Thank you for your honest responses. We're going to be back with some true trivia after this. We're back, and the first game I'd like to play today is called Dog, Cat, or None of That. I will name... Even though it's on Zoom, I still hold for applause. I'll name the co-stars of a film.

You guess if that pair of individuals is in a movie with a dog in the title, a cat in the title, or none of that. Dog Doug is up first if he misses rough Jeff gets a shot and if he misses I don't know a dog name to change Nicky into she gets

the gimme point every time somebody gets a point the next person in nine goes first in the next round Doug are you ready ready let me take I'm going to take a drink real and a nine goes first in the next round. Doug, are you ready? Ready. I'm going to take a drink real quick here because I got super cotton mouthy.

Mmm. You know, I might as well get in a drink. I might as well enjoy it. All right. For your listening pleasure. Doug? Yes, sir. Dog, cat, or none of that.

A motion picture starring Dean Jones and Sandy Duncan. Oh, cat. I'm sorry. I like the way you felt. You had such a positive energy. I don't know why. I really had to double check and make sure because you sounded so calm. That's not a correct answer

so we move over to Jeff Jeff what do you think Dean Jones and Sandy Duncan we've already established this is not a cat movie yeah it can't be it's a dog movie

you're going dog yes oh my goodness I can't believe. It's a dog movie. You're going dog? Yes. Oh my goodness, I can't believe how this is already playing out in Nikki's favor because that is incorrect. It's not dog. Nikki, all you guys need to remember is which of the three

options was not mentioned. None of that. You're on the board with none of that? Yeah! Yeah! You did it. Obviously. Yeah.

See, now we're finding out how Nikki won four weeks in a row. She's got the touch. The two of them, Dean Jones did co-star in The Cat from Outer Space and The Shaggy D.A. and Beethoven. He was the bad guy who wanted to put Beethoven down in the original Beethoven movie. But his only turn with Sandy Duncan as husband and wife is in a film called Million Dollar Duck. Oh. That's what I meant.

Didn't I say duck? No. Maybe you did. We'll have to go back and listen to the tape. You do have a funny way of talking. They play a couple who, I love this movie as a child because they brought home, you know, somehow

they find a duck and decide to keep it. I don't know why they decide to keep it, but we know definitely why they really decide to keep it because it starts laying just straight up gold eggs out of its ass.

Or not its ass, but you know what i mean and uh the the uh you know so they're just uh able to i guess get rich off of these gold eggs although they're hard to pawn on after a while you know like uh without giving away the source. But, you know, children love movies about people who stumble onto gold and how they mismanage it. Yes. So Disney knew what they were doing when they made that one. All right, so Nikki is on the board.

We're going back to Doug to start us off in this next round. in this next round. It's the couple of two men, Ewan McGregor and George Clooney. They don't necessarily play a couple, but you know what I mean. They're the two lead actors.

Ewan McGregor, George Clooney, Dogcat, or none of that. Oh, man. I'm going to go Dog. You going Dog on this one? Yeah. Well, Dog, I hate to tell you.

What? Incorrect. We move back to Jeff. He still gets another 50-50 shot at this. Well, I know this one. This one is none of that. Oh, fancy pants. I wish I was giving out extra points for saying the name,

but go ahead and say it just because we'll all laugh just from hearing Jeff say it. The men who stare at goats. We don't say goats funny yes as Jeff says the men who stare at goats it's fun to lay on that T

okay so Jeff's on the board but Nicky's up first on this third and potentially final round. If Nikki gets this one right, she wins. Nicholas Cage and a lesser-known

individual. Excellent actor, though. Alex Wolfe. Caged Wolf, I like Individual. Excellent actor, though. Alex Wolf. Caged Wolf, I like to call them when they work together. I'm going to say none of that. You're going none of that? What do you think? This is a game where every time the answer is none of that?

Maybe. Yeah. See, I think that's how I win, is I think about personalities and I analyze people. Well, you got me figured out. That's the answer. That is correct. It is none of that.

The two of them. Jeff, do you want to tell them what movie it was? I do, but I forgot the names already. What were the names again? Nicolas Cage and Alex Wolfe. No, never mind. I don't want to do it.

Is it Joe? That's the name of an animal? No, I think of i didn't know maybe they named the dog joe were they maybe no dog do you have any guesses pig yeah it's pig i didn't know who alex wolf was but that's the only animal movie I could think of. Yeah, it's just pig. It was always none of that. But then, for fun for the tiebreaker that we didn't need, I went with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Oh.

Not Goodwill Hunting. Not Air. School Ties. Not School Ties. The one with the word dog. Dog. Dogma. Dog. Dogma. Yeah.

Oh. Great job. That was a great job you did there, Nikki. So you double win that game. Wow. Yeah. I don't know what that means.

I don't know how to apply it. But, you know, it's these little things on your resume, as they say in the world of reality TV. You know, you can build a resume and you can add another achievement to that resume today. And you're going to go first in our next game. That's how that works. But there was one more Affleck-Damon pair-up, right?

I think a more recent one. I feel like they did something else together. At the very least like one of them directed the other or something but I can't think of what it was what? the duel? was it called the duel?

oh they were both in that Ridley Scott thing? the last duel the last duel yeah I think that's what it was called yeah so yeah so that could have last duel. The last duel. Yeah, I think that's what it's called. Yeah. Okay.

So, yeah. So that could have... That also didn't apply because, of course, we were looking for animal names. But still, that was a fun one. All right. We're going to take a break and I'm going to sneeze during the break and then come right back after that. That's how quick the break's going to sneeze during the break and then come right back after that. That's how quick the break's going to be. We'll be right back. We're back. And that, boy, that sneeze really, that was a good one. I'm glad I got it out

of my system because it's time to play Weird Algorhythm. Of course, this is the JB Power Award winning game where the three of you compete to figure out what the hell is going on with the algorithm on the IMDB

Internet Movie Database. To which you can go. I don't know if you've played this game before, Doug, but I'd ask you, but I don't think you'd be the first to know. But, yeah, maybe you haven't played before. So you know how you can just basically find any movie and TV shows, but you can find them on the Internet Movie Database

by typing into the search engine the title. Well, they take people's typing in of titles and names, and all of it, you can create lists, popularity lists. So you can go to any movie, click on the cast list, and then refine it. So you're looking at the cast of that movie listed in popularity according to their algorithm today. It's constantly changing. They're like star meter thing, you know what I mean?

So basically the idea is I'll tell you the name of a movie and then the three of you take turns guessing who you think from the cast of that movie might be the number one person on the updated, refined popularity list. And every time you get somebody that's in the first spot, you get three points. And for the second spot, you get two. If it's the third spot, you get one.

And we play three rounds and add them up and see who wins. And we'll rotate who goes first each time. And you can change your answer after hearing the other people's answers. I'll have everybody individually lock in after we all discuss the options. I'll name three people from the movie. The top three billed people according to when they're listed by proper billing but then it's up

to you to pick one of those three names or go rogue and think of somebody else who is in that movie that might be more popular today Nikki goes first we switch the order around we go to today. Nikki goes first. We switch the order around.

We go to Jeff and then to Doug. But like I said, you'll all get a chance to adjust if you feel like you need to. It's just that there's a tie. It's important that we establish it. Nikki will go first in the case if she's involved in a tie. All right, here we go.

Ricky, the movie is New Year's Eve, directed by Gary Marshall, the late, great Gary Marshall, from 2011, starring SJP from Sex and the You-Know-Where, Mrs. Justin Timberlake of course was in that motion picture, Jessica Biel and Mr. Mila Kunis aka Ashton Kutcher or pull one of your own, it's got a lot of famous people in it Or pull one of your own.

It's got a lot of famous people in it. Okay. Do you know this movie at all, Nikki? I do, but I don't remember the other actors in it. But I've seen it. But a long time. Yeah, it's a bunch of famous people. Yeah, yeah. That's why they're in it.

Yeah. Okay. I can't remember. They're just tripped to be in a movie full of famous people must be nice so of those three do you have a favorite you could just pick that person yeah I think SJP

yeah okay let's talk to Jeff about this for a second what do you think Jeff whoa it's me next I'm gonna say... I like the SJP answer, but I think I'm gonna have

to say... I think it's gonna be Ashton Kutcher. Okay. Do you remember anybody else that was in that movie? No. I don't even remember the third name you said the one you picked

oh yeah okay the second one was Jessica Biel oh yeah Jessica Biel that was the one I forgot you know her I'm sticking with Kutcher I think that he got a lot of heat with that letter to the judge or whatever people have been looking him up for the last couple weeks

on the last show that we did one of the guests was this lady named Jody that came up out of the audience, Jodi Reeves. And the subject of Jessica Biel came up at one point. And she goes, Jessica Biel is in my favorite movie. And we all looked at each other like, what? Jessica Biel movie? Like Summer Catch? Like what?

What with this nice lady hi jody by the way i think she listens to this show feels like she and her husband both listen or maybe he listens and fags are the shows but anyway she was great uh but the movie that's her favorite or no maybe it was liam neeson, somebody that's in it came up and it came out that her favorite movie is The A-Team. Oh! We went down the line, you know, it's got Bradley Coops, Quentin Rampage Jackson, Liam Neeson, and good old Jessica Beal as the lady.

As the lady A-teamer. I don't think they had a lady A-teamer on the TV show. I pity the fool who had a lady A-teamer. What is your opinion of all this, Doug? I don't know who else is in the movie.

I could take a guess because I know there's a lot of people, but I'm going to play it safe and say Mila Kunis. You just like saying it. That's all that's going on there. Okay, so we got Nikki. What was your goal in SJ sjp okay and jeff uh likes uh kutcher kutcher what about the baker and the candlestick maker don't care for him only the kutcher the kutcher the caker, the Candlestick Caker.

All right. I thought of a joke today when I wasn't anywhere and I could write it down or anything. So now I'm jotting it down on a piece of paper because I just remembered it. There's no way I'm going to remember it

until the end you know the end of this but now I wrote down enough keywords that hopefully that'll make sense later it's such a dangerous game we can take another break no we're back we're back we're back and uh in progress. And also, I'm just putting off this horrible result because it's it's crazy how hard this one turned out to be, especially considering the talent involved in this movie. movie um number 22 of the list of actors in this film is where uh sarah jessica parker ended up yeah and then uh sex way outside the city and then um uh number 13 was where a kutcher landed and uh jessica beal's number 12 wow uh michelle pfeiffer's number 12. Michelle Pfeiffer's number 6. And here's a real kick in the teeth.

There's a lady named Sandra Taylor, who I looked her up, and she's just sort of like a pretty lady that appeared in some movies and TV shows, and I think was in Penthouse and Playboy and that kind of stuff. And I have no idea why she's so popular today. That she'd come in fifth ahead of people like Jessica Pfeiffer and Michelle Beal. And then coming in at number four Bobby D Bobby De Niro is in

New York City you know what rhymes with De Niro Gugino not really but Carla Gugino was number three number two no idea why he's popular maybe there was a oh was there a princess

bride like 20 years old or something? Because Cary Elwes is number two from New Year's Evil. And then this one, I know exactly why he's number one. He deserves it. From the Iron Claw,

Zac Efron. Oh, yeah. Was in New Year's Eve. Yeah, it's true. So suck it, everybody else who's in New Year's Eve. Zac Efron has taken you all down by getting beefed up in a way that

I fear for him. I don't believe he'll ever look normal again. I don't think he's like De normal again. I don't think he's like De Niro in Raging Bull where he just lost the weight. He's like, oh, he looks like De Niro again. I think Zac Efron is permanently weird looking. But I'm

not a doctor. I say good luck to him and all of his endeavors. But, you know, while he changes even more, run and get your picture taken with him at the Grauman's Chinese theaters. The Madame Tussauds next door has him standing out front, you know, in the free part where you can just take a picture. And the wax figure is looking better at this point okay like he's got like he's got that like giant like

wrestler neck you know like yeah it's really weird how different he is but he's really good in that movie i i don't know if he's going to get any Oscar consideration because that movie came out so late in the year. It seems to be mostly people who like wrestling. If you like wrestling, I don't know what you're waiting for because people into wrestling love that movie. Have you seen it, Jeff?

No. I did not know it was about wrestling. What did you think it was? Like a war movie? Either like a... I just assumed it had something to do with birds or Margaret Thatcher. Ah.

I love your old school like, you know, why learn anything more than the title? Let's just go from there. There's no reason. They do a bad job of naming it. That's on them. You put all that muscle on to date Margaret Thatcher.

She's heavy. She's an Iron Lady. I think he'd like it, Jeff. I think he'd like the movie. All right. I'm just telling you. like it, Jeff. I think you'd like the movie. All right. I'm just telling you. It's very emotional. It's extremely emotional.

I like those. I have those. Yeah? Okay. Yeah. Nikki, you haven't seen it, have you? No, I have not. I don't like getting emotional.

Well, this might be... This next round might not go so well for you because it really is about emotions. Oh, no. I know. I know. But Jeff gets to go first. And then Doug and then Nikki. But again, you can change your answer later if somebody says something that inspires you to. Jeff, the movie

from the late, great Gary Marshall, Valentine's Day. Oh, God. Okay. Starring Julia Roberts, Jamie Foxx, Anne Hathaway, and a dozen more massive

stars, or, you know, kind a dozen more massive stars, or, you know, kind of big stars. Okay, I'm going to take a swing on this. Okay. Because I don't see how anybody in the world... I like a good swing. I don't see how anybody in the world is more popular than this person, so I'm going to guess Taylor Swift.

Oh, that is an excellent point, that Taylor Swift is pretty damn popular. That's a really, really good point. However, is this the one she's in? That is a better question. All right. Moving on to Doug. What do you think, Doug?

Are you caught up in Tay-Tay fever? Are you caught up in Tay-Tay fever? I'm going to guess no. Shit. Yeah, I'm going to take a swing. I'm going to say Kevin Hart is in it. So you're not caught up in Tay-Tay fever.

You're going off and getting Kevin Hart in the mix okay let's see what Nikki has to say about this I know I know two guys that are in it I know Jamie Fox yeah

wait if I say the other one, then am I giving it away? Or no? Well, you know, you have to anybody can jump on your choice if they want to. But at least you'll be tied with them. You won't be losing

to them. I'm going to say Bradley Cooper because of his new movie that's out right now. So I'm going to say Bradley Cooper because of his new movie that's out right now, so I'm sure people are looking him up. Coops? Coopies. Good old Coopies. Yeah, and I already said Anne Hathaway, Jamie Foxx, and Julia

Roberts, and so now we got Coops in the mix. And Jeff, how are you feeling about your answer I'm sticking with Taylor Swift I'd rather be wrong and stay with Taylor Swift

that's a great attitude to have because I'm telling you anybody that talks any shit about her I really do think they're drummed out of the business and it's not going to be me I will drum myself out on my ownmed out of the business. And it's not going to be me. I will drum myself out on my own accord. And by the business, I mean

the business of being her lover. I'd probably fuck that up too. Yeah, no, you're out of it, dude. The things you said about her, she would never. Oh, no! I did. I did. I did.

I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did.

I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did.

I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did.

I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did.

I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did.

I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did.

I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did.

I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did.

I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. Based on your laughing, I'm guessing Kevin Hart is not in the movie.

I'm going to switch to Julia Roberts. I don't know anybody else. She's been leaving this world behind or whatever. Maybe people are looking her up. All right. You don't have to try to convince anybody else. All right. You don't have to try to convince anybody else. Okay, so Nikki, what do you think? I'm sticking with Coops. Okay, so Nikki's got Coops, and Doug's got Julia, and Jeff has Taylor Swift.

Jeff, I'm going to give you the bad news first. I only wrote down the top three and then just because it was interesting to me because I would think he'd be higher. Jamie Foxx is at 13. But I didn't even note at what spot

Taylor Swift came in Apologies Apologies for that or is there a chance she was uncredited in that but they'd still list her on IMDb even if she was uncredited I think Alright so that's a blunder

on somebody's part but then we go to All right, so that's a blunder on somebody's part. But then we go to Doug, Julia Roberts, number one. Whoa! On the list for that, definitely for that weird-ass Netflix movie. I think people are angrily, angri typing her name uh because it's such a fucking weird ending well because i think if you're into it you'll be mad at how it ends and if you're not into you you're mad at how everything happened because it just really is just so many random things happen that like there's more like some movies leave you with unanswered questions and

it's kind of fun but this one is just with unanswered questions and it's kind of fun. But this one is just all unanswered questions and therefore just aggravating. Yeah. You saw it, Nikki? Yeah, yeah. And I was actually into it at the beginning. So I was like, I'm bored. This is pretty good.

But then the unanswered questions and the lazy ending, it's like, come on. Yeah, it was weird. Because it really come on yeah it was uh it was weird because it really did seem like it was building towards something and it definitely had some like tense moments the sequence with the like uh automated cars going berserk that's like a real genuine nightmare yeah yeah a lot of things that happened i was like oh that's true but the deers i was like what this deer, at least eat the child. Do something with the deer. Do something.

This girl is so annoying. Eat her. Deer, deer, get in the game. Don't just stand there and stare. Yeah. It's kind of scary, but not really. Because I think, I don't know, maybe there's some swear words in there, but I think it's like a PG-13 event

because it's never that particularly violent. But it's just, there's just nonstop tension from the beginning that like, it's just after a while, you're like, okay, well, why? What's happening? They also got pretty lucky with the whole friends thing and Matthew Perry dying around the time it came out. I was like, damn, you guys, you really capitalized on that.

That is a really crazy... I feel like that was... It all seems like it was really there in the screenplay and everything. Yeah. And then, wow. Yeah, they paid a lot of money to include it in the movie. The price probably went up recently due to current events. All right.

So where did I leave off at? Oh, so Julia Roberts gets Doug three points. And Nikki for Bradley Coops, he came in at number two. And it's definitely because of Maestro and people

are falling on one side or the other of is that ridiculous or is it cool that he said somewhere in an interview that it took him six years to learn how to Is that ridiculous or is it cool that he was, you know, said somewhere in an interview that it took him six years to learn how to conduct one piece of music that he, one six minute piece that he conducts in the film,

but he doesn't elaborate. I think when you say it took you six years to learn something like a language is probably like on weekends or whenever you had time to, you know, think about it. you know so and he probably just said it offhandedly in an interview people just run with these things like oh what a pompous asshole took him six years because it is true most people if he just stood there and waited to stick around, people would buy it. I would. I mean, as it is, it does seem like he kind of makes it bigger

than even the guy he's playing. Oh, and number three, for those who are curious, is Anne Hathaway managed to come up at number three. She's always seeming to get attention, except for sometimes she'll disappear for a little while, but she wants attention she can get it um right she married a fake prince yeah that was uh that was weird like he's still in prison right yeah well i know this

story yeah yeah she married some dude that, like, you know, was ripping her off financially and then got busted. She might have been maybe even been part of what, you know, brought him down, her testimony or whatever. And so, yeah, so he's in prison for I don't know how long. Was he impersonating a prince? Or was he really just a broke-ass prince? I think it was a con job.

I think it was an impersonation thing. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so, I mean, I don't mean to laugh at that having to her, because it's terrible, but, you know, it's just wild that things like that can even happen. Okay, one more round. We've got to find a winner. wild that things like that can even happen. Okay. One more round. We've got to find a winner.

So this time Doug gets to go first. And the film is Pretty Woman from the great, late Gary Marshall starring

Richard Gere, Julie Roberts, and then third build on this movie, because there's not a lot of other big roles in that movie, third build is Ralph Bellamy.

Oh. Yeah, you might remember him as Statler or Waldorf in Trading Places. Oh, yeah, that guy. Yeah, he was one of the two old rich guys in Trading Places. I can't think

of the other guy's name right now, but it was pretty funny. Donamici. Donamici. Yeah. of the other guy's name right now but they were both pretty it was pretty funny uh donna donna miji donna miji uh yeah it was great that those guys uh played those parts but anyway he's also like uh you know uh they're out to dinner and he's he's the one at the dinner that richard gear is trying to impress and julie flings her fucking escargot across the room like a goddamn bumpkin and he's charmed

by it. What do you think, Doug? I'm going to take a swing and go with Taylor Swift. Finally, somebody just throws it, just throws the competition. No, I'm going to go, I'm going to stick with Julia.

You like Julia Roberts again for this one? Well, I mean, if she's number one in that film, then maybe she's still number one there. Yeah, that's a good theory. I don't know what Richard Gere's doing. Nikki, what do you think?

I'm gonna go Richard Gere because I feel like all the old women love him and those are the people that have time to go on IMDDB a lot oh okay I didn't know that the internet was for the old people

but that's a good those are the ones that have time to sit down those are the ones on Facebook I was taking a rip no I think old people are looking things up a lot because I'm already excited about the fact that when I forget something now,

generally you can find out what it was pretty easily on your phone. But what's your – Jeff, have you weighed in on this yet? I have not. Who do you think? I think my only chance to win is to pick somebody and tie and hope that it's not Julia again. So I'm going to guess, I'm going to hope that something crazy happened. And how do you say her name?

Laura San Giacomo? Yeah. That was her roommate, right? I'm going to say that she's number one. Maybe she did something wild over the weekend. that she's number one. Maybe she did something wild over the weekend. She was the hooker that got left behind

and was not happy about it. I think she even dropped the time against somebody, tries to get somebody in trouble or something. It's ugly. Okay, so Jeff's going Laura San Giacomo and uh doug likes julia it's the only

movie star he's ever heard of and nicky likes uh richie gear uh all Mr. Ralph Bellamy as just an example of how this game goes he's third build according to the movie but 10th on the popularity list yeah number 4 I thought somebody might take a stab because it's Jason Alexander

Jason Alexander that's right memorably playing a very creepy dude. It's like creepier than George Costanza somehow. And he came in at number three, but worth one point. So too little, too late is Laura San Giacomo. Yeah, and same deal. Richard Gere is number two. So that's also too little, too late.

I just want to say Jeff's the winner. It just seems more natural. Doug, you've done it. You've done it again. Doug, you are our winner today. Congratulations, buddy. Thank you. Is there anybody you'd like to thank

oh Kevin Hart Taylor Swift oh man they both really I don't think you could have done it without them can you join us next week at this same-ish time

Fest. I'm doing stand-up in Athens and Atlanta, Georgia, January 26th and 27th, and all of my dates are at DougLovesMovies.com. Your movie, Doug, The Dispirits of

Toby Blackwood, in which you play the titular character. But you do appear quite a bit in the film, despite being disappeared. Do you recall, if we discussed this before, what's the last line of the movie? What's the last line of the movie? Oh. I haven't asked you this already no i'm trying to think shit uh i think somebody just said shit oh really well i don't want to like yeah there's a kind of

a spoiler at the end i guess sometimes yeah the last line could be a spoiler. I used to have to watch it so much with helping edit and stuff, but now I've taken a little break, so now it's just not coming back to me. Damn. All right, well, I've done this to other filmmakers, and they rarely know the last line because some screenplays, I guess the whole thing is a setup for some sort of punch punch line find a line at the end but that's that's pretty rare most

movies just end with you know hey come here you know whatever you know just like oh look what's that you know that kind of thing i guess that's more of a cliffhanger what was that all right so but i think this will work because I've been ending every episode with the last line for a movie, but I definitely want to give a nod to Disappearance of Toby Blackwood. Find

it, buy it cheaply, or watch it for free in some places. But however you watch it, it works out great for Doug. And thank you again to Jeff Tate and Nicky Vaughn and as always shit
