Doug hates candy wrappers, sweetie babies, sticky seeds
With 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth
There's still not one that he won't see
Cause Doug loves movies
Hey everybody
You don't have to...
Are you first-timers?
I like it quiet and, you know, too cool to respond.
That's what I'm looking for.
No, I love all of your reactions.
And my name is Doug, and I love making movies.
This is Doug Loves Movies,
coming to you from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles
on Tuesday, February 26th, 2 o'clock to 13.
And I am happy to announce
that my latest long-in-a-holding-pattern movie
is finally going to be available
for your eyes and ears
and whatever else you do with a movie
that you can download.
Yes, the greatest movie ever rolled
will be downloadable
at chill.com
on March 11th.
Yeah.
Hey, that's 311.
I'm going on a 311 cruise this weekend.
Anyway, it costs
six blunts, bucks, and
so invite some people over, you know,
and have a 311 hashtag G-M-E-R party.
Since last I spoke and you listened,
I did a double stack of Master Pancake movie mocks
at the Alamo Drafthouse Ritz in Austin, Texas.
We mocked the unlikely double bill of Air Force One
and The Little Mermaid.
And I won't say which film we were mocking
when I said into a microphone,
Daddy, he's in me.
Okay, it was Air Force One.
Sunday, offensive things were said
during Little Mermaid 2.
It was really an entertaining time.
And Sunday, we had a delightful TV interruption Potluck at Cinefamily
Here in Los Angeles
That we recorded as a special app of Dining with Doug and Karen
That is available now
If you want to hear about all the foods people brought
To that event
And thank you to everyone for bringing that delicious food
And for sitting through the
3 hour and 35 minute Oscars with me and my co-interrupters, Karen Anderson and David Huntsberger.
We endured the Oscars.
And I got 12 out of 24 correct on my Oscars predictions.
So I hope no one relied on me in their Oscar pool and lost because of me.
I went to Disneyland yesterday.
Here's a quick Disney tip.
The Cove Bar at Disney's California Adventure is a great spot to watch the World of Color
show that they do every night.
You're welcome.
Today, I taped a You Made It Weird movies
with Pete Holmes that will be available
soon for a few bucks in the comedy album section
of iTunes. And we watched
Almost Famous.
Lock the gate!
And
he says it three times.
It's very exciting.
So watch
us watch Mark Maron and Jimmy Fallon and
Nick Swartzen and Rainn Wilson in Almost Famous and I don't know why anybody
would do it but we did we did it for you if you want to from the corrections
department a few of you have voiced concerned about Bart the bear being dead
and I guess apparently there's more than one bear who
goes by the name Bart
in motion picture acting.
Yeah.
Yeah. This does not concern
me. Also
the category is still movies that
have Bart the Bear in them. Also a couple
folks have said that the
Who's Be beating Gilbert Grape
category should
be movies where Johnny Depp gets beaten
not Leonardo DiCaprio
because Johnny Depp played Gilbert Grape.
This also does not
concern me.
Please concentrate
on more important things, correction department.
That was just me telling the corrections department
how to do their business,
because we don't really interact that much.
The prize bag is got a lot of stuff, is got,
a lot of stuff from me,
a CD from someone who's about to come out here,
but you got My Smug Life,
a copy of a DVD of Super High Me,
because it's never too late to promote that movie,
and something to watch as a wind-up
to Greatest Movie Ever Rolled on 311.
And I also included in the bag
the script of Dark Knight Rises,
so you can memorize it
and be really good at the Lincoln or Bane game.
And we
got some
books that we'll discuss with
whoever handed them to me before I came out here.
Please
welcome to the show Paul F. Tompkins, Andy
Wood, and returning winner
Chris Hardwick.
Okay. Chris Hardwick. Welcome.
I just welcomed myself.
I meant to say hello.
Welcome to me.
Welcome to me.
It is an honor for me to be me.
And you're here.
This is exciting. I know you have a very busy schedule. It's an honor for me to be me. And you're here. This is exciting.
I know you have a very busy schedule.
It's Chris Hardwick, everybody.
Very busy schedule, and you're here for a second week in a row.
I'm very excited about it, but I think the smart money is on Paul F. Tompkins this week.
I really do.
I disagree.
And I'm Paul F. Tompkins.
Yes. Indeed. I disagree. Yeah. And I'm Paul F. Tompkins. Yes.
Indeed.
Take it from me.
Paul F. Tompkins.
Well, you know, I got to confess that I knew that it was going to be Chris.
I knew that Paul F. Tompkins was coming down.
I said, let's make it an interesting matchup.
So I did not call Natasha Leggero.
it an interesting matchup.
So I did not call Natasha Leggero.
I called just an example
of someone who thinks movie
trivia is stupid.
And beneath her.
So I called Andy
Wood is here, everybody. A
perennial
champion.
And very appropriately dressed today.
I am not at all outclassed by the gentleman
who played me. I know.
Weird that you picked the week I'm not wearing a hoodie.
That's strange. You're wearing a sweatpants
jacket.
Doug, are you alright?
It's springtime in California.
So time to get on your tweed jackets.
No offense people
listening to this on snow day.
Or while watching snow day day That's a great idea
He's gonna win he's gonna do this shit
I bet it syncs up yeah watch snow day
With Chris Elliot
And Chevy Chase
Watch it with
The wall oh yeah also eat some drugs
Or dark side of the moon
But that is a fun idea just Just put on a random movie,
start Doug Loves Movies,
or any movie podcast,
and at some point,
some shit is going to link up
in a crazy way.
What's going to link up?
Some actor's name's going to be mentioned,
and then they walk in,
and it's a totally different movie
we're talking about.
What are the odds of that happening?
Something will happen.
I don't think so.
Look at this stupid Wizard of Oz
Dark Side of the Moon thing.
People will find something
and cling to the idea
that, oh, that really syncs up.
They're saying that if you watch The Shining
backwards and forwards at the same time...
Who says that?
Which was a film
at a festival that I was at last
fall, Fantastic Fest. You could sit
there and watch it. I was watching something
new that somebody created.
But it's that movie
played backwards and forwards over each other.
And there's all this sort of...
So it's showing forwards
and they project it backwards over the forward projection.
So you see both at the same time,
but you only hear the forward...
Oh, well, that's a relief.
Yeah.
You don't have to hear shit backwards.
But there are several points in the movie
that people who are into this sort of thing
and also think 9-11 was, you know...
I don't know if that was Donahue or Todd Glass
that I just did.
But either way,
things happen in the movie that, like, it's crazy. Like, it looks like
somebody walks up to somebody else to give them a kiss
and weird
shit that makes people go, oh,
Kubrick planned this, which is
absolutely insane.
That would be such a pain in the ass.
Oh, it would be horrible. It would be so hard to do.
On the off chance that anyone ever
screams this,
the regular way with the movie backwards,
projected over top of it,
I want to make it worth their while.
Now, wait a minute.
Okay, I'm with you there,
but what if someone wants to take the aspect ratio
and flip it vertically?
Is the film going to play that way?
Look, I don't have all the time in the world.
Well, I mean, you know,
The Shining definitely has some
interesting stuff in there, like the little
boy is wearing a sweatshirt that has
a spaceship on it that
says USA on it, a rocket.
Which proves that
Stanley Kubrick was the director of
the fake moon landing. Yes, of course it does.
What else could it mean?
But others
theorize that he put that sweatshirt on that kid
to make fun of the people that thought he was the director.
No.
I don't see that.
If you fake a moon landing, you want to plant some clues, obviously,
in order to fake it completely effectively.
You know why?
Because anybody who fakes a moon landing,
they always suffer from moon landing fake guilt syndrome.
And so they're always
leaving little clues. Oh, ML
FGS?
I'll take your word for it.
He was reading The Shining
thinking to himself, this is the perfect script.
This is the perfect story for me
to reveal that I really did the moon landing.
What a perfect
place for me to reveal that information.
And he turned down directing Capricorn One.
Makes you think.
We've got some older audience members tonight.
Danny covering up all the footprints.
Why are they older?
Capricorn One is a fucking, that's an old poll.
Yeah, but I have, isn't O.J. Simpson in that?
This whole game is old polls.
I'm not kidding, O.J. Simpson is in Capricorn One.
See, you thought I was making a joke.
By the way, I've never seen that fucking movie.
I know so many things as references
and only as references that I've never seen.
That's a good reference.
I saw Soylent Green two years ago,
having had the movie spoiled for me
for decades of my life.
That probably makes it hard to sit through.
It does.
Because there's nothing else to it.
That's the only reason it's remembered.
That was a pretty decent twist.
That and Zardoz is another movie.
People keep mentioning Zardoz to me lately.
Everyone get off Doug's back about Zardoz.
Doug, I'm sorry about this.
I get it. Wizard of Oz Zardoz.
I get it. Oh, Oz, Zardoz. I get it.
Oh, really?
Oh, my God.
What?
How does Sean Connery
be in a weird Speedo and Lady Boots figure
into the Wizard of Oz?
Because if he clicks those Lady Boots together
three times...
I didn't even...
I hope lady boots
was not offensive
in some sort of
Seth MacFarlane-y way.
I didn't know
what else to call them.
Okay, I was gonna ask you guys.
We might as well get into it.
Let's get into it.
What happened on the Oscars?
I think it's the first ever
presenters discussing pubic hair
in the history of the Oscars.
There was a lot of
records broken. Is that a record? Or, youars. There was a lot of records broken.
Is that a record?
You know, milestones. A lot of milestones.
I almost did it every year.
A lot of milestones were achieved.
Like a classic TV
character coming down on a screen and
interacting with a guy who produces a TV show.
That's probably never happened
on the Oscars. I did not see the
Oscars because Talking Dead was Sunday nights and so I didn't see any on the Oscars. I did not see the Oscars because Talking Dead was Sunday nights
and so I didn't see any of the Oscars.
Crazy.
A lot of people were like,
every year they're like,
it's the worst, how could it be?
And so everyone says it was so horrible
but then I talked to a couple people one-on-one
and they were like,
it was fine, I don't know,
it wasn't that bad.
He had some good jokes.
Yeah, I didn't.
But then there were all those jokes
that made you go,
hmm.
I was seeing a joke to make you go hmm. I was C and C
of the music factory while watching it.
Jokes that make you go hmm.
Yeah.
Indeed.
I will say this.
When he did the thing with Ted, the bear,
that
conceit, that
device of a live person
interacting with an animated thing
has come a long way technologically.
Yes.
It has yet to be funny.
It was impressive.
Yes.
It was impressive.
It looked really good.
Still not funny.
He opened with an awkwardly worded joke
about Ed Harris being short.
Really?
Yes.
The bear comes out and he goes,
is Ed Harris here?
I can't do the bear's voice.
Is Ed Harris here?
And Mark Wahlberg's like,
no, I don't think he is.
It's gentle, Mark Wahlberg.
I love that series. It's the happening Mark Wahlberg. It's Gentle Mark Wahlberg I love that series
It's the happening Mark Wahlberg
It's the trees
It's gotta be the trees
It's gotta be the trees
I'm the king of me Jack
I say when I fuck Jack
You're not the king of me
You're not the king of me
He says Ed Harris isn't there
Which of course Mark Wahlberg would know Because he also works the door You're not the king of me. He says Ed Harris isn't there, which of course Mark Wahlberg would know
because he also works the door.
You're not the king of me, Doug.
He's got the clicker, right?
Yeah, he's not.
Ed Harris isn't here.
And then the bear says, good,
then we can take back,
we don't have to leave this stool out here
that he's standing on.
So you don't have to leave it for the next short person.
You know, Ed Harris, famous short person.
That shrimp.
Did they just skip right past the Ds?
DeVito would have been...
Fucking mini-me something.
But Ed Harris?
I don't know.
Short actor?
It's such a losing proposition hosting the Oscars.
Like, there's no way to win it.
One way to win it.
One way to win it is not jokes about Ed Harris being short.
I guess. Or Ed Harris being far.
But other people in the past didn't make short Ed Harris jokes,
and they also got shit on.
I just don't think people complained when Johnny Carson or Bob Hope did it.
Or when Steve Martin did it.
Or Billy Crystal the first few times.
But who was going to complain, Doug?
There was no social media, no internet, no anything.
It was basically like four media outlets.
People didn't even have mouths.
Andy, let's get in on this.
I have no opinions on this matter.
This is the most important thing ever.
I think when Steve Martin hosted a while back,
I thought he did a really great job.
I loved him.
With Alec Baldwin, the two of them?
Yeah.
No, no, no.
It was the year that he hosted by himself.
Solo.
The one with Alec Baldwin was strange
because it's like, why is this happening?
Steve Martin had the great joke
where he was introducing Ben Stiller.
It was like, you loved him in Meet the Parents,
you loved him in something else,
and you were fine with him in Mystery Men.
That is such a great joke.
That was such a great joke.
And he got shit too the next day,
and Letterman got shit.
Like, everyone gets shit. Well, to this day, they're like, well, Seth was better a great joke. And he got shit, too, the next day. And Letterman got shit. Like, everyone gets shit.
Well, Letterman, to this day, they're like,
well, Seth was better than Letterman.
You know, they, like, still just keep hammering that.
And I thought, except for the whole long Uma Oprah thing,
Letterman was fine.
Because he also kept his shit all very short.
Like, Seth MacFarlane was, like, the host that wouldn't leave.
Like, he was hanging around a lot.
Like, every time they went to a commercial break,
he'd say what was coming up,
which is normally just that lady voice.
Right.
He'd say it,
and then he'd throw in another joke
that had nothing...
Why didn't he have a single thing
about something that had happened during the show?
Well, I don't think he's a big in-the-moment guy, right?
I guess, but he could have some in-the-moment writers
standing around backstage.
I think they were all dismissed.
Like, when they played the J. Like when they played the Jaws
theme, I thought that it would
ultimately be Bruce Valanche would run out.
That was the most
insulting thing I've ever seen.
When they were playing the Jaws
theme to play people off. But Bruce was the shark in Jaws, you guys.
Excuse me, I'm sorry, Andy. I kicked your leg.
I'm so furious about this Jaws theme thing.
I thought they'd change it up at least.
Do a different, like, you know, like...
I couldn't believe they did it more than once.
Something.
More than...
That wouldn't have made it better.
They're in the front row going,
one, two, Freddy's coming for you.
But that's the second time it happened.
I honestly thought...
I honestly had the thought, I cannot believe, and I said this on Twitter, that after the second time it happened I honestly thought I honestly had the thought
I cannot believe
and I said this on Twitter
that after the first time
that the people responsible
didn't say
oh when you see it playing out
it's really insulting and horrible
well not only that
but here's my resignation
the one thing that I did hear
was that the
you know
the visual effects industry
is being dismantled
and this guy got up to
like all these visual effects houses are laying off
tons of people and they're going out of business
and Rhythm and Hues, like legendary places
and Ashford and Simpson
Peaches and Herb
Go on, Chris!
You know what they need to be, Doug?
Reunited
That's a Peaches and Herb song
Damn it, you fucking young audiences
Go do your Peaches and Herb homework
and then come back here. We'll meet
back here next week and then we'll all have a
laugh about the reference.
It is Black History Month, you guys.
Do your Peaches and Herb work.
Do your Peaches and Herb work.
Is that what you said?
Yeah, I did. But I heard they played
that guy off. I didn't think anybody heard it.
I heard they played that guy off when he was starting to make
the visual effects businesses really
get the fuck out.
Enough, nobody. We have famous people coming up.
The whole thing is weird.
I feel like people
are acting like I was saying
in my own voice, that guy isn't nobody.
That is the point I'm trying to make.
Is that it was mean.
Why are you that character that you just did?
Paul, where'd he go?
Hello, I'm a new person.
Some of the biggest
awards they give out, like they gave out an award
to Hal Needham for being awesome
and
the humanitarian,
not the humanitarian award, but they give awards like that
and they shuffled that off into another show
but in this show they're still giving out an award
for the best documentary short.
When have you ever seen a documentary short?
They do not play them before movies that we go to.
60 Minutes is all documentary shorts.
Why don't they play those before the movies we go to?
Well, because they're not documentary shorts,
but why not the entertaining shorts?
Because movies are too long.
They want to show that extra showing each day,
especially with two-hour and 45-minute movies.
But then this way, they wouldn't have to pad the movies out
if they were using these things to pad out the time.
Oh, you think that Tarantino made that movie so long
because there wasn't a documentary?
Oh, no, he's an insane person.
I'm talking about if you pad out an Avengers to
over... That's ridiculous.
A movie with fake people in it is over two
hours long. People that aren't even there.
You can make up that they're not around for as long.
Yeah, exactly. It's so easy to do.
Also, it's not a true
story where you have to include stuff
where it's like, well, people, it'll be a crazy
jump in time if we go from
Hawkeye being possessed by the aliens
to then all of a sudden being on their side.
It's barely even based on a book.
Everything's based on a book.
So much has happened in those comics that nobody can go,
I can't believe you left that out.
Doug, it's based on scribble scrabbles for kids.
Oh, I forgot.
Andy Wood brought,
oh, there goes Chris to get his prize for the bag.
Andy Wood brought a 2012 Bridgetown get his prize for the bag Andy Wood brought
A 2012 Bridgetown Comedy Festival shirt
And the
It qualifies as vintage now
2013 Bridgetown Comedy Festival
Is happening in April
April 18th to the 21st
In Portland, Oregon
Go to Portland
And watch a lot of great comedy
And sketch and things
I wish I could be there
But it's April 20 weekend
And I've got things to do. What happens then?
Celebrate Hitler's birthday.
And then, what is this?
Who brought this? I brought that also.
What is this?
Who brought this? What is this shit? What is the meaning of this?
What is this Ed Harris-sized book?
It's a tiny book.
I like tiny books.
Can somebody bring a stool out here for me to put this
tiny book on? Was Ed Harris there? Did they cut stool out here for me to put this Oh, here comes Ed Harris tiny book on.
Was Ed Harris there?
Did they cut him in the audience going, I don't know.
I wonder if they
meant to have a clip
of him from the Oscars where
Ilya Kazan got that Lifetime Achievement Award
and he was in the audience with his arms folded.
And maybe that was going to be the gag.
I don't think so. I'm giving him some credit.
But all in all
wait you never said
what was your
but maybe everyone
at the academy hates him
so that seeped into
Seth's comedy
they should all
hate each other
what was your ultimate
comedy was like
what
thumbs up thumbs down
on Seth
what was your ultimate
oh I think
pretty much the way
I feel about Family Guy
some of those jokes
were really funny
right okay got it
it's very
he took a very
scattershot approach,
but it also, he did a whole number about boobs
and which ladies have been naked in the movies,
and he's singing about, like, the accused,
and, like, it's movies where women are naked
because they're being attacked.
Oh, Jesus.
Boys don't cry.
You know, but he was trying to be edgy,
and it was, you know, it was,
but it was not in the right way.
Did the Academy, like, speak out against it or something? No, no.
And he got the best ratings in like three or four years.
Oh, wow. Yeah.
But he also says, he's already preemptively said
he never wants to do it again. Right.
Chris, if you'd like to hear more about Seth
McFarlane's experience with the Oscars, try the
internet.
That's where I got
all that shit. I know.
When I was writing it on Wikipedia
Well I'm curious
Wait Paul
If I go to the internet to look up Seth's Oscar stuff
What kind of stuff will I find
Oh you almost got me
Don't look up Seth's Oscar junk
That's a totally different
That's bad
That's a guy whose dick looks like a
She saw it It looks like a... She saw it.
It looks like an Oscar.
Generosity is awesome.
Who brought this?
I brought that.
What the fuck is this?
It's the 33 and a third.
It's the book about the Fleetwood Mac album Tusk.
But Paul, I'm so confused because there's so many books
this week.
Listen.
Did you bring these books?
I brought those.
I'm sorry about those books, Doug.
I just thought
that these people would like it.
Paul brought
Laboring Under Delusions,
his very successful...
That's right.
These guys grudgingly nodded
like, meh.
I decided against bringing my own comedy album
in favor of a book about Tusk.
I'm sorry.
So you brought these books, Chris?
Why did you run backstage to go get the prize
when it's sitting right in front of me?
I didn't.
I went back to get my backpack
because I realized that there's no one back there
and weird people just walk in from outside.
That is true.
And people just appear back there.
I'm like, maybe I shouldn't leave my bag back there.
Last week there was a weird lady
that took somebody's jacket.
But I'm on all these
bizarre sci-fi romance novel
book lists.
It's on the internet,
you guys.
And so I brought these
from,
these were sent to me.
This is Fiona McIntosh.
So you haven't read these?
I've not read those.
You know,
Fiona McIntosh,
she's a Scrivener.
Yeah, she is a Scrivener.
I assume so. And this is her tale. It's a Scrivener's tale. Yeah, this is her tale. But this read those. You know Fiona McIntosh, she's a Scrivener. Yeah, she is a Scrivener. I assume so.
And this is her tale.
It's a Scrivener's tale.
Yeah, this is her tale.
She went to block Fiona McIntosh, some other guy's tale.
Is she friends with Bartleby?
Bartleby the Scrivener?
They must be.
I would prefer not to answer you.
I know people love the Krampus in America.
Krampus the Yule Lord.
He finally has a book.
Well, he also finally got turned
from a log
into a lord
Yep
And then this
got sent to me too
It's Variety's issue
on violence
in entertainment
Oh fun
Right
With a gunshot
in the middle
With a gunshot
in the middle
Get it everyone
Yep
This magazine
should have
Sticks, sticks, violent picks
Worn a
Okay great Yep Thanks Chris A $12 value This magazine should have... Sticks, nicks, violent picks. Worn out.
Okay, great.
Thanks, Chris.
A $12 value.
Is that what they want for it?
What? I don't know.
I figured all of them put together.
Oh, I see.
Oh, yeah.
You could get that.
Chris, thank you. Will Ferrell could get that at his yard show.
Thank you for respecting the fact that
Fiona McIntosh's Scrivener's Tale,
it's an uncorrected proof and it's not for sale.
And you're giving it to someone
rather than trying to sell it.
Bless you.
Were you sneezing or were you having a fit?
You were taking over my show.
No, I'm just putting everything in the bag
and I guess there was dust in the bag.
Dust in the bag.
Why would anyone here know what that is?
I don't know. Everyone here was born after
91. I feel like we're painting ourselves
into an old corner, guys.
Same old corner.
Did we say everything we want to say about anything?
Yeah, I think so.
I usually ask you guys what movies you've seen.
Is anybody dying to talk about what movies they've seen?
No.
All right.
Then let the games begin.
Oh, my gosh.
Is that Doug Bainson?
It is.
There we go.
Let's just pick the name tags right now.
Let's get that over with.
Go get who you want to play for.
Chris has got a TARDIS
in his hand already.
Wow. Good call on that.
I knew
that was going to happen, bringing back somebody
two weeks in a row
that people would know what to bring.
No.
Does it make a noise?
I hear a woot monkey.
I see some cookies.
Oreo cookies in a TARDIS box.
All right, so...
Chris got a TARDIS box.
Does it have...
What's your name?
Tanya.
Tanya TARDIS?
Oh, there it is.
Tanya!
I want to get on you!
Oh, she put it in little letters on there.
That's cute
Yeah right where
It would be public call box
And it makes a noise
When you open it
What does it do
Say I'm a new doctor who
It should
But it doesn't
Shazbot
Chris you ran for that
You ran for that so fast
I feel like
You saw the outline of it
Before you even saw
What it was
Yeah that's right
I did
Now this one's not working
But I do
I can just do this.
It's my ringtone. So if you want
to put the two together, now you
have that. That's the TARDIS duck.
Sounds like it's just flying around or something.
Now again, TARDIS was a Peaches and Herbs song, correct?
Is that what this is?
That's right, sweatshirt.
Sweatshirt.
Special K. Special Katie isatshirt. Special K.
Special Katie is mine.
Katie.
Special Katie.
She wrote her name on a special K box.
My favorite cereal.
Terrible nickname for a slur girl.
Isn't it your favorite cereal?
I'm not kidding.
I prefer the red berries to the chocolatey delight,
but this will do in a pinch.
Wait, does it have chocolate in it?
I guess so, yeah.
Does he get to keep those?
Why isn't that your favorite cereal then?
I didn't know. Thank you, Katie. I didn't know it existed.
It was berry shit. You're a grown man.
You can eat what you like.
Special Katie.
It says Special Katie on it.
That's really nice.
I can't wait to do Talking Dead.
I can have just one point just when the shot is on me.
Go, so what are we talking about here?
Talking Dead? You want to talk about Talking
Dead? Walking Dead? Yeah.
And then run off and get a bag from backstage?
If I ever do it,
they call me. That old studio, I would not have left
a bag back there. Not back there, no.
No, the old, but the new one's good. I thought I'd never hear
from you guys. They called and they asked me for a date, I can't
do. Let's not wrestle for control of this box.
Okay.
It's my name tag. Describe it, please.
It's a box of the popular seasonal cookie,
Thin Mints, brought to you by the Girl Scouts.
And the person I'm playing for,
she calls herself Brits.
Thin Brits.
Is this the first time that everyone's chosen food?
There's food in the TARDIS?
Because Doctor Who gets hungry
when he's flying around in that thing.
It's double-stuffed Oreos!
They're bigger on the inside!
That's twice as much stuff!
You're supposed to whisper when you fight about Oreos.
So...
Oh, that commercial.
That's right!
Reference from now!
These people were born nine minutes ago.
These people are from no time
whatsoever. Oh. A paradox.
This calls for
Doctor Who.
And some Girl Scout cookies.
And this specialist
of K's.
This specialist
of K's.
Alright. Do you think we can play a quick build-a-title because people love it and want to The specialist of case. All right.
Do you think we could play a quick build-a-title?
Because people love it and want us to do it.
All right.
So I'm not going to give you guys a lot of time to think on these.
It's going to be fast action.
So how do they do it on Jeopardy?
The person who won, did they get to go first?
Because they won last week?
Sure.
Okay.
I think that's how we're doing it.
Okay.
In honor of the best picture of Two Oceans 12, according to the Motion Picture Academy,
we are starting with Argo.
So you, Chris Hardwick.
Right?
It sounds impossible.
Turns out it's easy.
It sounds impossible. Turns out it's easy. It sounds...
Okay.
Filled a title with one word as the starter title?
That seems very odd, but it works.
It's easier, actually.
Yeah, right?
Maybe?
Does it count if I say Fargo?
That is correct.
All right.
Already rhymes.
That's what that deserves.
You know what?
I thought we were doing the other one for a second.
I wondered why you thought the way you thought. I was like, this will what that deserves. You know what? I thought we were doing the other one for a second.
I wondered why you thought the way you thought. I was like, this will be so easy.
Oh, because ABCD's nuts.
Yes.
We'd only go through four letters.
Exactly.
Yes.
I said it was going to be a quick one.
Doug, too many.
Oh, talking like the variety guy.
Yeah.
Hey, variety guy here.
I'm on a deadline.
And now it goes to me.
Uh-huh.
And Mr. Hardwick has said far go.
Yeah, so you have to do something that ends in far
or begins with go.
Far Go Lucky Man, starring Malcolm McDowell.
He named an actor.
It must be a real thing.
It is a real thing.
It's not Go Lucky Man.
It's Oh Lucky Man.
Yeah, but it works.
Yeah, I know it. That's why I said it. It's oh lucky man. Yeah, but it works. Yeah, I know it.
That's why I said it.
I was just clarifying the way you said it.
But you said it.
You were clarifying it to me.
You said it.
Clarify it to these people.
I look at the guests during the show when I'm speaking.
I don't turn and tell all of them because I'm, you know, the people that are listening to this.
You know how it works, Paul.
I just shared a moment with this young lady,
the Fred Roe.
I looked at her like she was the sitcom camera,
as if to say, that Doug.
And then she was very unsure what to do
and eventually settled on mirroring my reaction.
Then we looked at each other for too long.
Is that pretty much what happened?
Pretty accurate? Yeah.
This lady
chiming in. This was between us.
I was
hoping that it would go
Fargo going
ape was what
I predicted. It's not bad.
So it's Fargo Lucky
Man.
And then in this game, the word the is irrelevant, right?
You can leave out a the.
You must drop the the.
Fargo Lucky Man Who Wasn't There.
Correct.
I knew you'd get it.
I haven't seen it in a while, but I like that movie.
A Bridge Too Far Go Lucky Man Who Wasn't There.
Yes. We'll drop the A in A Bridge Too Far Go Lucky Man Who Wasn't There? Yes.
We'll drop the A in A Bridge Too Far.
Mr. and Mrs. Bridge Too Far Go Lucky Man.
Paul, wake up there.
Paul, it's February.
Strength training.
2013.
Must eat.
The dollar is crashing. Who owes to the Oscars? Who? It's still Seth MacFarlane. It, it's February. Strength training. 2013. Must eat. The dollar is crashing.
Who owes to the Oscars?
It's still Seth MacFarlane. It's still going on.
Was it there? So beginning
with there, ending with mister.
Gorillas in the mister
and
Mrs. Bridge
too far go lucky
man who wasn't there. So Chris, ending
in gorillas.
Which is always appropriate. who wasn't there. So Chris, ending in gorillas. Which is always appropriate.
Or beginning with there.
Gorillas in the mist.
You don't have to know the whole thing.
Oh, okay.
I thought that was part of the game.
It's fun sometimes, but we're in a hurry.
Man who wasn't there, she goes.
Who's in that?
I don't know.
It's the title of a popular song from the 90s.
I figured someone made a movie out of it.
Nice try.
No Graham Elwoods in this game.
Palm Strike.
You're out.
Paul?
Are Gorillas in the Mr. and Mrs. Bridge?
What was the rest of it?
The bridge. Too far. rest of it? The bridge.
God damn it, it works.
It fucking works.
Yeah, it does work.
But this is unprecedented.
Doesn't mean it's not.
I feel like I did this before.
You probably did.
You probably did.
But we can play that.
Just recreate the whole thing.
Fargo Rill is in the Mr. Fargo. whole thing. Fargo Rillas.
A bridge to Fargo Rillas and the Mr. Fargo.
We'll see what did you have in mind
when it was just Argo
the first time. What were you thinking? You probably had
something in mind. It's a Mandelbrot.
Well, it's just Argo now,
not Fargo, right? Yeah, just Argo.
Let's do Dark Star Go.
Is that a movie? Yeah, that works. Dark Star. I think. Yeah. Yeah, Dark Star Go. Science fiction classic. Why don't you go Fargo, right? Did you say Fargo? Just Argo. Let's do Dark Star-go? Is that a movie? Yeah, that works.
Dark Star.
I think.
Yeah.
Yeah, Dark Star-go.
Science fiction classic.
Why don't you go Fargo?
Oh, yes.
Or Key Largo.
No, but if you did Fargo,
we could have done the exact same thing
and just keep building on it.
You guys would have loved that, right?
That would have been the best entertainment.
Or A Gentleman's Embargo.
Not really a title.
I still contend that Donnie Dargo would have been. Donnie Dargo. No, I'm glad you went with Embargo. Not really a title. I still contend that Donnie Dargo
would have been.
No, I'm glad you went with Dark Stargo.
That works.
So, Paul, ending in dark
or beginning with there?
Don't be afraid of the dark.
Star, go, etc, etc.
Who was in that?
I don't remember.
You're out.
That's absolutely a movie.
I thought...
Katie Holmes.
Oh, Katie Holmes?
I thought it was a TV series.
It's about the Tooth Fairy.
Oh, there must be two of them.
Are you afraid of the dark
as a TV series?
Is it?
Is it an R.L. Stine joint?
You guys all sound like you kill people.
Doug, you went too far with that one.
I just made that up.
I made it up.
Where are we?
What's happening?
It's to Mr. Wood.
Ends with don't or begins with...
Ends with don't or begins with there.
I think we might have a winner, Paul.
There and again.
There and again?
That's not even English.
Those are just words.
Yeah.
You know that Lifetime movies don't count, right?
Yeah, I don't know if that's a movie.
It's not worth looking up.
It doesn't matter, but it does mean that Paul Tompkins is a winner of Build a Title.
I mean, just foreshadowing what's going to happen in the competition.
Oh, I don't know.
So what order do we go in there?
We came across that way.
Oh, Jesus Christ, there will be blood.
You're right.
Oh, wow.
Does that guy have a microphone?
He's mad that you didn't think of the movie that you're in.
It wasn't his call to make.
The man who wasn't there will be blood.
Sorry, I liked what I did, Sam.
He still won.
Oh yeah, he did still win.
But he didn't win the way that I wanted him to win.
Sam Levine, a.k.a. Lil Wolverine.
Oh, that was Sam Levine.
He can't just be in the audience
Can you?
S.A. double M
Listen Ed Harris
You're dead to me since you shaved your side chops
Lil Wolverine
Okay
He's gonna be on the show again soon though
Cause I like
I like winners
Did that come out wrong?
We'll start with you, Paul,
and then we'll go to Chris,
because we were going the other way.
Sure.
You get to pick a category, Paul,
between...
Or among.
There and again.
There and again.
There and again.
How often am I on this podcast? There and again. There and again. There and again. How often am I on this podcast?
There and again.
There and again.
Now away.
What?
Okay, there, I got it.
All right.
Here's your three options, Paul.
Would you like legal in Mexico?
That's motion pictures that just turned 13.
Movies that are, it was 13 years ago that they came out.
Jesus H. Christ.
I know.
I didn't even say who submitted it because it's also a groaner.
At Crunchy Jim Sock.
Celebrating a birthday
today is past and future
guest Steve Agee.
So the films of Steve Agee.
And
at Randy Lawson, our friend out in
the Philadelphia area, suggested
I know what you did last supper.
And it's religion-themed movies.
I would like to choose
I Know What You Did Last Supper.
Okay.
Two and a half stars from Leonard.
Okay.
I'm gathering the information.
It's good to have you back on the show, Trivia Robot.
The year is 2006.
Facts collected.
The year is 2006.
And Mr. Malton calls this a familiar saga.
He says that the screenwriter gets credit but they fail to credit the
original author so that's fun
that he said that about a religious
you mean the lord
whoever Leonard thinks made up this story
and
he also says it has a detailed
script
I know terrible clues
as per usual and he lists
seven names.
How many names do you think you can get it in,
all of Tompkins?
I think I can name that movie in four names.
Oh, man.
Why are you so sad about it?
I don't, that's, you just jumped right to four.
There's only seven.
I know, but I would have about it. I don't, that's, you just jumped right to four. There's only seven.
I know,
but I would have said six.
Maybe you can get in that box and go to another time.
Um.
You can get in that box
and go there and again.
Oh.
The adventures we shall have. That would be a good title of a Doctor Who episode, right? There and again. Oh. The adventures we shall have.
That would be a good title of a Doctor Who episode, right?
There and again.
Why not?
Here and once.
All right.
I guess.
Fourth what?
I'll say three.
I'll say three.
Three, he says.
Andrew Wood. Andrew Wood.
I, at the risk of negative one.
Negative one.
Oh!
Negative one.
At the risk of what?
Keeping on doing that thing that you hate that I do when I'm on this podcast.
Oh, is you overbid?
I just do negative one a lot.
I don't know.
And I hate that?
Maybe not.
I guess I thought you did.
No, just wear a jacket next time.
That's really all Doug asked of the contestants.
Show some respect.
Exactly.
This is the jacket of a soccer coach.
All right, Paul.
What are you going to do with that negative one bid?
That's what I would do with it.
Yeah.
Well, I am, if it's the movie that I think it is,
I am damned if I do and damned if I don't.
On the topic of religion, it's a movie.
Okay.
religiously moving.
So just for fun,
I'll say negative two names.
Two people
floored by the action.
The rest in a coma.
Did I already ask you, Chris, if you could be here next week?
No, you haven't asked me yet.
I'm not going to win tonight.
I'm just a little foreshadowing.
And even if I get close, I'm going to throw the match just so I can...
He just said negative two.
Yeah, I see.
Okay, negative 19, 2006.
I don't know why I feel like I'm doing calculations in my head.
I'm going to carry the one.
All right, NTM, name that movie.
All right.
Thanks for shortening it,
but then also saying it.
Yeah, I made it twice as long.
I'm going to say,
is the first name Mel Gibson?
Wait, start with the name of the movie.
Oh, start with the name of the movie?
Yeah, yeah.
Is it The Passion of the Christ?
And then who are the top two billed people?
Mel Gibson.
And then who?
Meadowlark Lemon.
Is it not?
Who am I thinking?
No, it's Oscar Isaac.
Oscar Isaac.
And Keisha Castle-Hughes
and the movie's called
The Nativity Story.
Chris Hardwick gets the point. Did you the movie's called The Nativity Story. Oh.
Chris Hardwick gets the point.
What did,
did you,
you didn't think it was The Nativity Story?
The Globetrotters van.
You didn't think you knew it?
Jim Caviezel,
I was gonna say
Passion of the Christ.
Yeah, yeah.
I was gonna say
Jesus Dredd.
I forgot to fucking know
Gibson wasn't in it.
He just directed it. I really got that wrong.
I got it super wrong.
Yeah, you really wronged that one up.
All right, Doug, it's one thing when I say it.
You're the dumbest.
Okay, so that means that Chris got the point.
So we'll start with Andy and then move towards Chris,
who challenged Paul.
Andy, would you like
In Theaters Now,
Tango Unchained,
which is Sylvester Stallone
gets out of prison,
or Dom and Dahmer,
which is motion pictures
about serial killers?
I like Tango Unchained.
Okay.
Let's do that one.
Who doesn't?
We're about to find out.
1993.
Two and a half stars for this movie
that has Sylvester Stallone in it,
and he gets out of prison,
and Leonard says it's fast,
surprisingly funny.
He also calls it a blood letter.
And I've written those.
It's painful.
But they're surprisingly funny.
And he names seven people in the cast.
Let me double check.
Yes, they're all people.
How many do you think you can get it in?
And, eh, negative three.
I forgot that I hate you, but you're reminding me now.
I'm supposed to pretend like I haven't seen this movie.
I was 16 years old.
Don't say too much.
What's going to happen?
What's going to happen?
I don't know.
I think we go to Chris.
I know what the movie is,
but I don't know what the fourth name is,
so I don't know if I'm going to be able to name them
in order. So I think I'm just going to have to have Andy
name that movie. All right, Andy.
Let's hear it.
The movie is Demolition Man.
And the
stars are Sylvester Stallone,
Wesley Snipes, and Sandra Bullock.
You son of a bitch.
I knew, yeah.
I was gonna...
Now, let me ask you this. Can I ask you
just to see if I would've been right?
Is the fourth name Benjamin Bratt?
No. He's the fifth.
Dennis Leary? Is it Taco Bell?
No. He's the not at all.
It would've been the guy who played the villain.
Nigel Hawthorne. Nigel Hawthorne.
Shit. Yeah, I wouldn't have gotten it.
That's so fucking frustrating. You had to pick three.
You sweatshirted cock.
A lot of... Whoa.
I didn't love it, but I saw it.
It was a fun movie. You're on the record to say
you loved it. There was so much Taco Bell in that movie.
So much Taco Bell.
People can rewind it and hear you say it again.
That joke about the seashells
and the toilet paper.
If you saw a Taco Bell commercial
that had a Dennis Leary rant in it,
you'd also think that was a great movie.
Oh yeah, that's right.
I'm a simple man.
What if Rob Schneider and a spaghetti robot
rolled on in here right now?
That was Judge Dredd.
Oh, wasn't it?
What's the difference, really?
That's the one I'm thinking of that I love.
That's the one.
You didn't make it better.
Yeah, just stay out of it.
Oh, you guys, I didn't love that stupid demolition, man.
I love Judge Dribb.
Okay, so...
Cliffhanger, though, seriously, you guys.
It's a good movie.
Go hang off a cliff.
That sounds good, Paul.
We'll start with you, Paul.
Sure, who cares?
Fun watching other people play this game.
Paul and then Chris.
Paul gets to pick.
Martial art films.
That's films directed by
Penny or Gary Marshall.
Right.
The hoity-toity-er ones.
Bruno Mars.
That's Bruce Willis in space.
Now see, how do so many people in this young audience
get that he called himself
Bruno when he made that dumb
album a million years ago?
I think they're enjoying the current Bruno Mars
part of it.
And then just putting it together.
They know those words.
Doug also has a way of just saying things funny,
even if you don't know what the reference is.
It's true.
Mars is in space,
and Bruno's a common nickname for people named Bruce.
No.
Who do Seagram's golden wine cooler commercials
at the height of their
movie star drama
I know what you did
last summer
and that's motion pictures
that were released
last summer
I was hoping it was
the films of Summer Glau
just cause you're in it
I'm not in it
you're in that one
isn't she the thing
in the movie you're in
no she was in the
Terminator TV series
and I was in Terminator 3 who was the lady Term thing in the movie you're in? No, she was in the Terminator TV series, and I was in Terminator 3.
Who was the lady Terminator in the one you were in?
Kristana Loken.
She was the Terminatrix.
She was the Terminatrix.
That's what they called her, the Terminatrix.
That's right.
The TX.
Um, I want...
Is it Marshall Law?
The Thanks.
Marshall Law?
Huh?
Marshall Law?
Jesus Christ.
What was the first one with Penny and Gary Marshall? That one. Yeah, Marshall Law Jesus Christ what was the first one with Penny and Gary Marshall
that one
yeah Marshall Law
the year is 1990
ooh Doug
you're setting the scene
this was directed by
I'm a regular
Garrison Keillor
this is directed by
Penny or Gary
three and a half stars
very generous
no matter what.
Paul, I'm going to stand up to you on that.
I think it's about right.
Okay.
Because it's powerfully affecting.
And it also is based on a book.
And you have...
Oh.
Twelve names.
Powerfully effective, based on a book, 1990.
Three and a half stars from Leonard.
And I'm with him.
How many names?
A lot.
Twelve, twelve, twelve. how many names a lot I can name that 12 12 12
I can name that movie
in
zero name
I was almost gonna
open up those cookies
and start eating
I thought I had
that kind of time
I apologize
zero names
Chris
name that movie is that movie from 1990 I thought I had that kind of time. I apologize. Zero names, Chris.
Name that movie.
Is that movie from 1990?
Mm-hmm.
Is it the movie Big?
No, Big was like 80... 88, I think.
Oh, what time of day did it come out?
Shut the fuck up, Chris.
Can you come back next week, Chris?
I may be able to come back next week, Doug.
Because the movie, the powerfully effective three and a half star movie is Awakenings.
That's right.
Know it all.
We're with you with your negative seven.
Yeah, number one.
I'll take a win off a failure.
I don't give a shit.
All right, Tanya.
I'll bring it in Levine next week.
Everybody's happy.
I will bring you down with Sam Levine.
I'm going to pick through the remains of your failures next week
and not answer any of my own movies, Sam Levine.
Fuck yeah, I'll take a bye.
It feels so good to win this way.
Not having any knowledge of anything
and just telling people to name something they can't name.
It's a good win.
It really feels good.
It's about strategy, Chris.
Does it make you less of a man?
Are you vining this?
You heard when I do that.
Because you just had your finger on the thing
and I saw the green progress bar.
I will smash that phone like a box of cereal.
You guys got any plugs? We gotta get going.
Any plugs at all?
Yes.
Paul, what's coming up?
What are you doing?
April 2nd through 13th,
I will be at the Soho Theater
in London, England.
I love it.
I want to play there.
Why don't you?
I might.
All right.
Keep it cagey, Doug.
On Paul's British tour,
there and again.
I don't have anything
on the books or anything. We need some
shitheads out of both of these people. What else you got,
Paul? I try to tell you Brits.
That's it. I'm sorry. Did I have to have more?
No, no. Also, podcasts.
Check them out.
Check out podcasts.
James Darwin won one. He will be there
on This American Life.
I want someone to be listening to this podcast going,
I'm not a fan of podcasts.
Where's Brz at?
Britz? Britz? Brit?
Yeah, just come over here and write down a name
of anyone you want me to call a shithead.
You don't have to write it on the box of cookies.
And then where's Katie at?
Katie, if you could come down here
and write something down.
I apologize to both of you
for having losers playing on your behalf.
But it's
only loser in the sense that they lost this one
game that meant everything.
Oh, she's putting it right on the line
provided. And also
thank you for wearing the Freddy Cougar sweatshirt.
It's very nice of you
since we were going to
mention it anyway. Her sweater reminds me of Zoom.
The TV series Zoom.
Going to Zoom, Zoom, Zoom.
Alright guys, let's talk about stuff
from the 20s.
Remember Cathode Ray 2?
Andy Wood, Bridgetown Festival.
And also I host a podcast called
Probably Science with Matt Kirshen.
That's right, Matt's backstage probablyscience.com
great dude
wrote a great piece
about the onions
little misstep
and Chris
Talking Dead Sunday Nights
Nerdist TV show
BBC America
coming back
March 30th
premiere of Doctor Who
and then we're on that night
and then stand up dates
on nerdist.com
all over the country
that's it
you got shit going on
but you gotta be here again
next Tuesday at
7pm. Oh, my
burden is to be a winner all the time.
Yeah, it's not... You're gonna have to bring
some more books. That's no
problem. I can bring you all the weird sci-fi
romance novels. More shit you don't want.
Well, Krampus isn't a romance novel.
He doesn't find love
at Christmas time.
I was going to beat you with my stick.
But there's something about your eyes.
Santa brings you presents, I shit in your mouth.
That's good. I'll put that as the
caption for the picture when I
tweet it. That's what Chris
was saying. That's why his mouth's open.
I've got stand-up at Comedy Works
in the state of Denver on
March 9th. It's a great state, Denver.
It's a little
joke from the show.
That's at 420 on March 9th.
And then I'm going to do Douglas Movies
on March 10th at 420.
And same drill at the Punchline in Atlanta on March 23rd and 24th.
And thank you guys for being here.
We'll see you next week, Chris.
I'm sorry I ruined your Denver is a state joke.
I'm dumb.
I'm sorry.
It's not really a joke.
So it's just sort of a reference.
And as always.
Do you know what it is, Paul?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
One time I slipped up and I made a category where I said,
it was a category about states,
and I picked the movie Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead.
Okay.
And then it just sort of stuck, the expression State of Denver.
That was the one episode I didn't hear.
I say it and hashtag it, and TJ Miller loves it.
Okay.
You know how that goes.
Well, so then I capped on the time that you did that, not just now.
I was going back to the source.
Yeah, you were back capping.
Okay, good.
This is like memento.
Quick, write it on your skin.
As always, Hayden
Pantier is a shithead.
Maker of panties, Hayden.
And I hope and pray the person
who wrote this down already had this in mind
before she got here
Ed Harris
is a shit head
