Doug hates candy wrappers screening baby sticky seeds with 50 as a pop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see because Doug loves movies.
Hey, hey, hey everybody. My name is Doug and I love some movies, some of them. This is Doug loves movies recording on Thursday, June 27th, 2024. And
my gorgeous guests today are Randy Valvid, Billy Wayne Davis and Jeff Tate. Hello, boys.
Hey, hey, let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically by first name his tour dates can be found at
Bwd tour
Calm he's Billy Wayne Davis. Happy New Year, dude. Happy New Year. It's been a good new year
Has it yeah, I guess
That's nice I see that
I see that on July 5th, you're going to be at here after at the Crocodile Club in Seattle. And I did a Douglas movies last year there in the summer during a heat wave.
So it was a hot crowd.
Oh, that's a good.
I'm worried because, you know, it stays late
or light out late there.
So I always worry about playing the Northwest in the summer.
But God, if it's hot, that that would be that be so helpful to get people inside.
Well, I would say so normally, but this Seattle
venues aren't too big on air conditioning because it's so rarely hot.
Ah, I live there, you're right. Every year there's two days where like three old people die because
of that. That is just... Yeah, we almost died on stage.
Sacrifice what they do. Yeah, that is, yeah. It was, I convinced, Ken Jennings lives in Seattle,
I convinced him to come down and get beat by Jeff Tate in a very hot room.
But we did it in the afternoon.
We did in the afternoon.
So at night, it does probably, you know, cool down quite a bit.
So I think you'll be in.
Yeah, they have the best air conditioning in the world is what I hear.
You'll have to come check it out.
Yeah, that's what I meant to say.
I didn't mean to discourage anybody.
Wear a tank top and shorts.
So our next guest today was at that hot show.
And his name is Jeff Tate.
Hey, Jeff. Hello.
Hi, everybody.
You did beat Ken Jennings on that show. Yes. Yeah.
I do. How often do you brag to that about people?
Is that like something you bring up like in a bar or in a smoke circle?
I beat Ken Jennings at trivia?
I don't know that I ever am the one. I never bring it up out of nowhere.
It comes up from time to time, yes.
But I've never brought it up out of nowhere. It comes up from time to time. Yes.
But I've never brought it up.
Just like, hey, you guys, you guys ever heard of Ken Jennings?
I think it's not a, it's not a bad icebreaker.
Really?
If the conversation gets odd or awkward, you could, I think it's kind of like, I beat Ken
Jennings at trivia one time.
I think people would be like, oh, no shit.
Yeah. I mean, he's the greatest of all time on Jeopardy, you know, like
It's an unassailable title and then you took him down. I took him down. Yeah, we have pretty we have a pretty Eve
We're evenly matched because we've done a few together now and I think it's about even
Okay
He does seem more approachable now that you said that, Jeff.
Oh, yeah.
He's not quite the type you thought he was.
Yeah. Now that it's like, yeah, it seemed like I could have a conversation with him
now. And that's probably why, because you brought him down a peg.
Oh, yeah. Well, he also doesn't in conversation.
He doesn't throw around a lot of facts. You know, I mean I mean he will if you bring up something, you know something about but he's he's he doesn't come off as a no
at all at all. He's just a very pleasant dude and
I'm proud to know him and happy that he still participates in in this program from time to time and
our third guest today,
won on the show, our last live show
that was at the Bottle Rocket Social Hall from,
he's from WDVE radio in Pittsburgh.
He's a man who rocks and his name is Randy Valman.
Hey, Randy.
Good to talk to you, Doug. Good to defend my title. Uh, so
after the last bout against Chris Porter and, uh,
Greg Fitzsimmons who apparently have never watched a movie in their entire life
or never, if they did,
didn't even ask one question about the movie or wonder anything.
They don't stay for the credits. Those guys. Oh, not big IMDb flippers, you know.
You know, people have their priorities in different places.
You know, Chris is like going to go to a lot of music shows
and Greg has to do a lot of hat shopping.
But how are you feeling about going up against these guys today, Randy?
I feel pretty good about it.
Although I know that the competition is going to be a little bit harder.
But I have a question for you.
When you talk about Ken Jennings, is there a Ken Jennings of Doug loves movies?
What do you mean?
Oh, yeah.
It's Sam Levine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's destroyed me on several occasions where I was like, oh, Sam Levine. Yeah. Yeah. He's destroyed me on several occasions where I
was like, Oh, Sam's on. I was like, well, there's no reason for me to be here.
But Jeff, you think Jeff's beaten Sam, I bet.
Yeah, I have. Yeah.
So maybe maybe I should have said, Jeff.
These guys, Billy, you can talk to any of you got.
You got stuff in common with them.
They've all lost to me.
I think I lost you too.
So that's awesome.
Right.
Jeff just has and Sam Sam has a brain for some of the games,
but it's easy for me to throw Sam off with.
Like if I know his weak spots, you know, and I try not to prep the games, you know,
to help or hurt anyone. And a lot of times I come up with the games before I even know
who the guests are going to be. And then of course, that bites me in the ass because apparently
the games were too hard in Pittsburgh because Randy was the only person that ever got anything
right.
True, I think I'm the only one that got a question right.
Yeah, I really do think that's how it shook out. And it's multiple choice.
Yeah. So it's pretty hilarious. But before we play some games today, I like to go through
Today I like to go through with each of you
recommending a motion picture
starting with Billy Dee
What do you got what's a movie older new that you would recommend to the listeners oh
I know it's old, but I
Recently saw is it video in Eagle Rock is that the name of the place? It's a very cool. Yeah, it's yeah cool
like VHS kind of store, but also has this theater and
my wife and I went on a date to see bull Durham and
If you haven't watched that movie in a while
Rewatch it. It's
Truly, it's one of the best.
It's the gear when you watch it again.
You're like, this is no wonder I watched this movie 19 times
the first time I saw it, because it's so good.
Well, Durham, yeah, it's got those three,
you know, those three leads in the movie.
I've all have really good chemistry with one another.
And then and then, you know, you can't beat have an R list standing around yeah I mean any
I mean you're not wrong he is anytime you need comedic relief he really knocks
it out of the park every time it is yeah no he's always he's always really I
swear to God he that that that guy what's the comics name?
I called him our list, but then Robert will yeah, Robert will he
you know
Like really I think he got our list off of how how much people enjoyed him in bolder on I
That's what I was I told my wife in the middle of it
That's what I said. I was like, oh,
this makes sense. He got that HBO show because of course they watched this and I was like,
this guy's amazing. So yeah, that's funny.
And he got on HBO at the time when, you know, if HBO started a series, they let it go for
way too many years.
So, so long. Yeah, it was a thing for a while.
I saw Jiminy Glick, the Martin
Short character, interviewed Bill Hader and I on on Jimmy Kimmel Show.
And I saw the clip of it.
He makes an artist reference at one point.
He says, I haven't seen Barry, but I just love that our
That's what he said I haven't watched HBO since they made me mad and cancelled our list
All right, so a bull Durham, how do you where you at with the Kevin Costner these days
Are you gonna go see horizon his 18 hour Western that you have to go to the theater several times to see
All of it. I I might go to the first one
And then we're gonna we're gonna I think we'll audible after that, you know
Yeah, you have to assess after that, but it's all it's just weird to go to a movie
I know this has happened a few times lately, especially like with IPs like Harry Potter and Wicked but
The just the idea of going to a movie where you're only you're just I'm gonna see the first part now
And then the next part is gonna be later. It seems so weird to me that I
Guess we could blame Roberts and Meckis for putting out the two back to the future two and three
like only a few you know, like several months apart and, uh, sort of got people on that train a little
bit of a train, get it.
Uh, all right.
So Bull Durham, Jeff, what do you got?
What would you like to recommend?
Uh, the other day I watched just cause I was missing, um, Cincinnati.
I watched the Ides of March.
Now I saw you even post about it.
You're like, people are sleeping on the Ides of March.
Yeah, I mean, it's good.
This movie is amazing.
It's really good.
Is that the the political thriller?
Yeah. Yeah.
Why are you sure you don't just love Ryan Gosling to the point where you're kind of,
you know, blinded by?
Maybe.
That counts too.
Because you love Fall Guy.
You love the nice guys.
Yeah.
I don't know where you stand on Barbie but I know I stand on Barbie I
crush her head I mean I saw Barbie like three times in the theater but tell us
tell us a little bit more of I'd to March because I saw it and was not I wasn't
into it and I haven't, haven't revisited it.
Maybe you're making me revisit it because I saw it in a theater
probably later at night than I should have.
So I wasn't like, you know,
and I was probably higher than I should have been.
So I walked away not thinking it was that great,
but why do you like it so much?
I think it's an interesting take on it because it's first of all, just like who is it for?
Because it's about a Democrat running for president.
So no Republicans are going to watch this movie, but the Democrat is flawed.
So Democrats like the jet, like I just find that like the trades you have to make or
whatever, because Gosling starts out idealistic and then
turns jaded almost to guard his to like to help with his idea to like keep his ideals in the game.
Yeah. And I just like I just thought that was an interesting it just it was an interesting story
and it's like one of those action movies but where all the fights are just conversations. like somewhere. Jeff, that's called arguing. Arguing. Yeah. Yeah.
Well, it has it has a every scene has somebody in it.
Like it's like a Philip Seymour Hoffman's in it.
Paul Giamatti, Jeffrey Wright, Marissa Toma like every it's just a
bunch of heavy hitters to like every every everyone.
So many people I like are in that movie.
Maybe that's why I was disappointed, because I liked everybody so much
and it didn't didn't move me somehow.
But I'll try again, Jeff.
Well, this is but I'm but I also if a movie's got a month in the title,
I only watch it that month, so I'm going to wait until March.
I'll set an alert. I'll text you March. March 1st.
There was a movie I kept telling you to watch.
I told you a bunch of times and every time I asked you, you hadn't watched it.
And I bet you still have it.
I don't even remember what it was now.
But there was something I was convinced that you would like.
Maybe I'll think of it when we're working together this weekend in Spokane where I am
now and Jeff will be tomorrow.
But plugs are at the end of the show.
Randy, you've had some real time to think about this.
What would you like?
Last week you recommended a foreign film.
Are you going to pull that nonsense again this time?
So bad.
Movie loving audience about a movie that is outstanding.
But I recognize the error in my ways very quickly.
No, no, it was a great recommendation.
I was just cracking up.
It like Chris Porter and Greg Fitzsimmons
just like not having any idea what that movie is,
nor any interest in finding it and checking it out.
It's a, it is an awesome movie. So then I was like, Oh,
I should have said the new road house.
Cause that would have probably gone over better with those two. Right.
And I only from the entertainment standpoint would have said that, like, you know,
I don't think it's great or anything anything or even as much fun to watch as the
first one, but in its own, like as its own thing, it's fine.
But since Billy Wayne mentioned Robert Wool and you guys were talking about, and then
kind of rightfully given him some, some shit for, you know, know his smartiness his artless and all that the movie that really kind of propelled him before that is one that everybody
needs to see I think and it is one of those super dumb like late 70s comedies
the Hollywood nights yeah I almost mentioned it while we were talking
about him because that was you know he did that before Bull Durham it was like
kind of like,
isn't he supposed to be like college agent or something?
It's like one of those, it's kind of like the dumber version of American Graffiti and they're
like in a car club, you know what I mean? And it's the last drive and it's very much like adjacent to
American Graffiti. But Robert Wohl is like the prankster of their car
or their gang or whatever the hell it is.
And Tony Danza is like the tough guy
and he's going to Vietnam the next day.
And his girlfriend is Michelle Pfeiffer.
And she's like, oh, you know,
what's the point of us staying together?
She's just a total smoke show, you know,
pre-fame Michelle Pfeiffer.
And basically Robert Wall goes around pulling pranks on Stuart Pankin.
So it's like all these B celebrities from the 80s.
It's super fun to watch.
And it's like got legitimate, like hilarious parts in it.
It is ultimately very stupid, but he was, oh, and a young Fran Drescher is in it as well.
Wow. Yeah.
Okay. Dresher is in it as well. Wow. Yeah.
OK, it's why I know you had
you really had us until you went too far with the friend dresser.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Like young friend
Dresher, it all makes like it's
like I guess it's like seeing Robert
Wool and Will Durham where it all
makes sense where you're like, whoa,
that that lady is hot.
Well, Shelley Long, Shelley Long, she's like Shelley Long.
Before she got on The Nanny,
Fran Drescher was a completely different performer.
So like Shelley Long in the in the Henry Winkler.
Yeah, night shift.
Sure. Yeah.
I mean, night shift is wild because it's like Henry Winkler stabbed at, you know,
he had made several movies because because Fonzie made him so popular that he was just in movie after
movie where he was the lead and never really, like none of them really popped.
And that was a great example of, in that case, it really made, you know, it really made Michael
Keaton, like Michael Keaton slipped in there and was stole the show.
And then of course, Shelly long was, uh, was young and hot at the time.
Um, these are great recommendations.
Um, I might rewatch all of these because of you guys, but, uh,
right now I'm going to watch some commercials.
We'll be right back.
We are back and man, Those are some cool-looking commercials
All right, so our first game we're gonna play today the game we're gonna play first today is
One that I've been playing a lot lately because I enjoyed so much and it's something called the little search engine that could
in this game, what happens is, today I typed a word into the IMDB search engine, and then I wrote down the top 10 movies that came up,
that their algorithm told me are the top 10 movies with that word in the title,
and each of you are going to have three
guesses, but we're going to take turns. We're going to start with Billy, then go to Jeff,
then go to Randy. And you'll each have three times to guess a movie and we'll see if we can
knock out all 10 of these. If the movie you mentioned is on the list, the higher up it is on the list, the more points you get.
And like I said, it's 10 titles that you gotta try to hit.
And don't be discouraged if yours isn't in the top 10,
because there's a lot of movies with this word in the title.
In honor of Deadpool and Wolverine coming out this summer,
the word I chose today is dead.
So Billy, you take the first crack at it.
Name any movie that has the word dead in the title.
Hopefully one that's searched enough and popular enough that it could be as high as
number one on the list.
Dead. They wait. The line just went dead.
Yeah. Any movie with the word dead.
I just thought of like eight video games is what I thought.
Oh, that's it. That's a different podcast, Billy.
I know. Yeah. That's why I want to be an actual I was actually moving did I hit House of
the Dead House of the Dead okay you think that's a popular movie today when
people are looking up movies on the on the IMDB yep that's what I think okay
zero points for Billy but you're gonna get two but you're gonna get two more.
You're gonna get two more guesses, but Jeff's gonna show you how it's done right now.
Jeff, what do you think is the number one movie with the word dead in the title?
Evil Dead 2, Dead by Dawn.
Also not in the top ten, but I really like your enthusiasm
I thought I was saying number one
Right. Why do you think that would be number one?
I don't know. It's popular.
All right.
I mean, you know, it has the word dead in there. So I gotta give you that much. All right.
I mean, you know, it has the word dead in there, so I got to give you that much.
But it has it. It's in it twice. I kind of thought the fact that it was in it twice by health.
Oh, maybe they canceled each other out somehow in the algorithm.
Maybe there is too much dead.
OK, Randy, you have the chance here to put some points on the board before anybody else.
What's your dead title?
Dead Poets Society.
Number one on the list.
So society.
I'm not even mad.
It's just like, yeah, there was.
I'm guessing that it's number one for maybe a couple of reasons.
Like, first of all, that I think we just, every year we have two anniversaries with Robin
Williams.
We have his birthday will come up and then we have the day that he passed.
And people's, you know, it's been 15 years now and it's still on both of those days,
it still comes up.
You can't avoid it.
He was such a legend.
And I also think that maybe Dead Po poet society's getting a little love on
IMDB because of that movie
That documentary Bratz about the Brat Pack
Because those guys were kind of tangential Brat Packers, you know
The Taylor Swift thing might have something to do with it, too. Oh, yeah, cuz her thing is called dead poets
something or no.
Tortured poets, tortured poets.
Yeah. Well, you know, that's the thing. She's funny. That movie.
Yeah, that movie, the Tortured Poets Society.
It sounds a little less intense.
But I don't think there is such a thing as a poet that isn't tortured, but fortunately there's plenty of poets that are still alive.
Okay, so Randy's got the big ten points, but that's not an insurmountable lead because there's still a lot of points to be had Billy
What have you got for us in round two?
dead presidents
At is a great answer a very
Not overlooked a movie, but I thought it was really good. It came out like during that kind of spate of
Hood movies, you know, and gangs and stuff like,
you know, that's where the dude was carrying the head in the jungle, too. Right.
Yeah. Yeah. No, it's yeah.
A lot of that movie.
It's very intense and also very, you know,
stylish. The Hughes brothers directed that
But unfortunately did not make the top ten
No, as soon as we started talking about how good it was. I was like this is not gonna be in there
All right back to Jeff, what's your next guess Jeff?
Can I say Deadpool?
Oh man.
Yeah, yeah.
Son of a bitch.
The word dead is in the title Deadpool.
That is true and if you want to say it, you can say it.
Okay, I'm gonna say Deadpool.
Did not make the list.
Yeah, that's what you get.
I really was hyping you guys up to Randy like, oh, Randy, you're probably gonna lose today.
What's your next guess, Randy?
I mean, I feel like I want to, I want to just throw out all the rarer ones that they won't score points, but Evil Dead
seems like that would be up there.
Right?
It absolutely does seem like it should be.
Turns out, old Evil Dead or original OG Evil Dead did not make the top 10. And then Evil Dead from
2013 when they rebooted it, that one landed at number 11. So unfortunately, Randy, you have not
added anything to your score, but you don't need to because now it truly is an insurmountable lead.
But just for fun, Billy, let's see if you can get, you know, some points here.
Or I think it's impressive if you say three movies with dead
in the title that we're all familiar with and they aren't on the list.
There's a there's somewhat of a skill in that as well, I think.
I don't know if the skill is the right word, but
it is something.
A special kind of unlucky.
Yeah. What is it?
Is it dead, Fred?
What's the name of that movie?
I keep thinking.
It's young Einstein's.
No.
Dead. Wait, no. Drop dead, Fred. dead friend. Thank you drop dead Fred
I know it's not on there, but I had trouble thinking of it because it's not in front of me
But I have been trying to think of the title of that the whole time
We've been playing that game and that's a win for me. Yeah, you got there
You got there when I said it all All right, Jeff. Yeah, I sure did.
Jeff, come on. Yeah, I know that you now I'm going to go ahead and play. I'm going to go ahead and say
something that I normally wouldn't say if it was still competitive at this point. I'm shocked that you haven't said the number two movie.
Oh man.
That has dead in the title.
Oh, this is too much.
You're going to kick yourself all the way to Spokane.
Yeah, I will. Was that a hit?
No, it's a hint that you and I are working together in Spokane tomorrow.
So
I'm gonna say what I was was been in my head since I've missed with Deadpool and that is dead calm. Oh
Dead calm that is a I love that movie
Nicole Kidman one of her first and she had that big red head of hair and
Nicole Kidman one of her first and she had that big red head of hair and
Sam Neal in a rare villain role which is excited or no he's not a villain in that
He's a good guy right, but
Billy Zane Billy Zane complete maniac you thought he's a maniac on the Titanic get him on a smaller boat, and you're really in trouble
When there's only two other people on the boat
to blend them in with.
Yeah.
He really stands out.
Dead Calm came in number nine on the list.
And so Jeff got two points.
Randy has 10, of course, so he can rub it in by adding a few more points
in his final guests. I was gonna say Dead Alive. Not a bad choice. Peter Jackson, early
Peter Jackson. Very, very violent. Like somebody gets like their whole head taken off by a lawnmower at one point
and
Living dead
What's that? But since I'm from Pittsburgh, I have to say night of the living dead. Oh, okay. So you're changing your answer
Yeah, I have to you're changing the answer from one that would get points to one that doesn't get any points Well, if I win anyways, right? Yeah, I have to. You're changing the answer from one that would get points to one that doesn't get any points
Well, if I win anyways, right? Yeah, absolutely
You can just go wild
I need uh, yeah
uh
dead alive came in number 10, so uh, that's worth one more point so you're uh,
you're the winner of this game with the lucky 11 points
and um You're the winner of this game with a lucky 11 points. And this ended up being trickier than I expected it to be.
And I will run down the titles that you did not get, gentlemen.
Number eight, Sam Raimi movie that I think is very underrated.
It has one of the most amazing casts in any movie ever.
Because once you've got Gene Hackman, Leonardo DiCaprio, the Like, you know, when they do, he do those shots where they look through the hole in the head before the guy falls over.
Really fun.
I wish Sam Raimi would make more like really violent movies in genres that aren't specifically
horror.
Yeah.
Number seven.
So close when Evil Dead did come up, but this one is the more recent sequel to the reboot of Evil Dead,
called Evil Dead Rise. Oh, yeah, exactly. And then number six, you tap dance around it with other
Living Dead movies, but number six is Dawn of the Dead, which I now I'm forgetting if it was the first one or the more recent one
But I love them both
So that was number six number five now, this is where this game gets a little wonky because
You know people look up shit that nobody's ever heard of in enough numbers to make it appear on the list
nobody's ever heard of in enough numbers to make it appear on the list.
Uh, from 2023, this is a pretty recent movie, but I'm completely unfamiliar with it, something called the dead don't hurt.
Oh, that's the Jim Jarmusch movie.
No, that was, um, dead.
Dead.
Don't die.
Dead.
Don't die.
Dead.
Don't hurt these dead could die, but they but they don't, it doesn't hurt them.
And then another one that I was just like, what is this?
Number four is a movie called Dead Man's Shoes.
Possibly the sequel to The Man with One Red Shoe.
Number three, this always cracks me up. I always say one of the movies that's
going to be an answer out loud, Deadpool and Wolverine. And Jeff, this is the one where
I can't believe, have you thought of it? No.
I can't, I'm trying so hard. Okay, well don't be too upset when you hear this,
but it's Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning part one.
God damn it, I was in my head,
I was trying to think of, is there one called Dead Reckoning?
Like I kept putting the phrase dead reckoning together
in my head, but I couldn't pull it.
Well that's so confusing, Putting the phrase dead reckoning together in my head, but I could have pull it
Well, that's so confusing because because is it a two-parter now or did they decide to scrap the the two-part aspect of it
They see yeah They scrapped the part one part and now the the part that was just gonna be called part two just has a different name
Hey, do you know what it is? I can't remember. Yeah, cuz I mean the subtitles are missing impossible movies
I mean my favorite is Ghost Protocol cuz I you know, anytime I'm wearing a hoodie. I say that I'm in Ghost Protocol, but
But they're all they're all so fun
But of course once again number one was Dead Poet Society
So Randy you won the game, but as happens in Doug Loves Movies,
that basically just means you get to go first in our final game,
the game that determines it all, and we'll play that after these messages.
We'll be right back.
We are back, and Randy Bowman, with with 11 points won the first game.
That means he gets to go first in a fairly new game that none of you gentlemen have ever played.
And I'm very excited about it. It's kind of in it's a little bit in beta.
I've already tweaked it since the first time we played it.
And I hope it gets to a point where it is a beloved family favorite. It's a game I call
always bet on yourself. Forget about betting on black. Bet on yourself no matter who you are.
And this game it's like Final Jeopardy if Final Jeopardy was multiple choice.
It's like Final Jeopardy if Final Jeopardy was multiple choice. So we're going to start with Randy.
I will give Randy three potential answers. Then, Randy, you have to decide how much you want to weigh the pager on whether or not you think you'll know which one of those is the correct answer without knowing the question yet.
And then, each of you start off...
I start off for everybody else?
What's that?
How much can I wager?
You all start off with 100 points, and you will each get two shots at this. And so you can, once you hear the three answers,
you can say, well, I'm fairly confident
I might know the answer, and you can bid up to 100 points.
But I wouldn't bid 100 points on the first round
because if you missed the question,
then you're down to zero and you don't get
to play a second question, because you got nothing to bid.
This game put me at a disadvantage in the second game.
Because now I'm based on my bet.
Yeah, well, by going first, you definitely like, you know, the other two players will have kind of more of an idea what to bet, but that's why there's two
rounds and, you know, it really is, that's why I said it's beta because I'm really trying to,
you know, figure out the best way to play this. But if there is a tie, if you are ended up in a
tie with someone else, Randy, at the end, then you get a question that only has two answers. If you are ended up in a tie with someone else, Randy, at the end, then you get a question
that only has two answers.
If you get it right, you win.
If you lose, the other person you're in the tie with is the winner.
So that's where you will get an advantage if it comes down to that.
I think that's all of the things you need to know.
So are you ready, Randy?
I'm ready.
Okay. And you just have to figure out, well, one of these three answers, like, what could the question possibly be?
You don't, you know, you can kind of try to talk through it out loud when you're making your bid, but I won't, I won't give out any info any more
information other than the three answers that one of them is the
correct answer. And Randy, this first one, the answer is either
A, B, or C.
Like the letters A, B, or C? Like the letters A, B or C?
Yeah.
50 points.
Okay, this is exciting.
That's a strong opening bid
on what could be a very tough question.
A, B or C, in which alternate ending of the movie Clue
is Tim Curry actually a butler?
Remember when Clue came out,
they had three different endings
in whatever theater you're in.
You saw either ending A, ending B, or ending C.
Yeah.
And they're all on the DVD. Which one of those do you think Tim Curry
turns out to actually be a butler? Because of course, throughout the film, he plays a
butler. I'll go with C. Unfortunately, in the ending, he is Mr. Body, the person that the whole movie everybody
thinks has been murdered, is actually, Kim Curry is actually Mr. Body.
In version B, he's an FBI agent.
And in version A, he's just a butler who ends up dead because he's too good at figuring
out what's going on. So they have to, you know,
whoever the murderer was in that one has to kill him. One ending has like every single person
is involved in killing somebody. That's a movie I need to watch again because people are always
telling me how much they love it and I wasn't that into it when it came out.
All right, so that means that Randy is down to 50 points, but you still have that whole amount to wager on your second question that's coming up in a little bit. Jeff, are you ready? I'm ready.
All right, your three options, your three possible answers
are Spielberg, Scorsese or Billy Wilder.
Okay, I'll bid 50 points.
Okay.
Which sequel averse director has helmed the most movies with a number in the title Spielberg, Scorsese or Billy Wilder?
All right, I'm going gonna say Spielberg. Spielberg is incorrect.
You're knocked down to 50 points.
See Billy, you've got so many more points without having done anything yet.
Spielberg just has Ready Player One and 1941 are the only titles of movies he's directed
that have numbers in them.
Scorsese only has one because he co-directed a documentary called The 50 Year Old Argument.
And Billy Wilder has four movies with numbers in the title. Five Graves to Cairo, Stalag 17, The Seven Year Itch, and a movie called One, Two, two three So Randy has 50 and Jeff has 50 and now
Billy gets his first crack at it
the three potential issues are
The company she keeps the yin and yang of mr. Goh or halls of anger the
the
the
the
the
the the I really do. Cause you know, you'll just be at 99. So those guys, it's all going to be on them to, uh, to catch up.
Uh, but let's see if you get that one point, which one.
Yeah.
I, yeah.
You just named Lana Del Rey songs, I think.
No, it's which one is Jeff bridges screen debut. the
the
the
the
the see halls of anger. That is incorrect. Ah, that was the actually, I think, the third movie he was in.
The company she keeps.
He was an uncredited baby in a train station scene.
It was great. He was good in it, though.
He was good in his Nepal babies get started early. You know, if you're in a if you're in a showbiz family, the Just 99 so Randy it's back to you and on this one
You know just to catch up to Billy you're gonna have to bet it all
Okay, or you could play it safer and hope that Billy does something
Billy's too smart for me. I'm not gonna do that. I got all these weights
No, I don't you guys underestimate underestimate the hillbilly in me.
You really do.
Okay.
The options are,
Randy, the options are a boy and his dog
from 1975 dog from 2002 or one Ton Ton, the dog that saved Hollywood.
Yeah.
Okay.
What do you think with those, with those dog movies?
How do you think you'll do?
No, I mean, you know, SAT test process of elimination.
That's all I got going for me at this point.
Hoping you give me, you know,
some sort of keyword in there that denotes me,
something like that, you know what I mean?
I'm kind of fucked.
So you're betting it all?
I have to.
You know, I don't have to.
Yeah, go for it is what I say.
It's, you know, one in three chance if you have no idea.
Of those three films, which film has this last line?
No, just an ordinary dog and my friend.
Okay, and my choices were a boy and his dog.
Mm-hmm.
Dog.
Dog.
Channing Tatum and Wan Tan Tan,
the dog that saved Hollywood.
I'm gonna go with a boy and his dog
because it sounds like maybe that's the kid
who is stuttering and the dog is helping him overcome
a stammer at a very young age,
not unlike a young Joe Biden or something like that.
It was Don Johnson in that movie, played the boy, and his dog spoke to him through mental telepathy.
Yeah, I've never been more confident. This is from 1975.
Channing Tatum's dog was like, you know, a military dog that like saved lives and then has to go back to a regular life.
It's kind of like the Heart Locker, but with a dog.
And one time the dog just saved Hollywood.
But it's not as funny as it sounds. the Jeff Here's your I'm betting it all
Well wait until you hear these three answers, haha, you're right you're right
The the options are murder by numbers the notebook or the United States of Leland
Okay, I'm gonna bet it off. Okay.
Which Gosling movie was hatched first?
Which Ryan Gosling movie of those three was the one that was released, filmed and released
first?
Murder by Numbers, The Notebook, or The United States of Leland for 50 points.
Okay.
I'm going to, I'm going to guess, um, well, I know like murder by numbers was, he
was like, really, he was like high school.
He played a high schooler.
So I'm going to say murder by numbers.
That is correct.
Murder by numbers with the doesn't, isn't he the killer in it?
There are two there are two killers or maybe they are meant to be two killers.
I can't really spoil it because I don't know for sure.
It has a twist ending.
And if I wait long enough between viewings, I forget what the ending is.
And it's Sandra Bullock, the investigator.
Yeah. Yeah.
And then they date it for a while. Oh
Ryan Sandy beat
All right, well you pulled ahead to 100 points
So Billy has to he doesn't have to put a lot of points on the line to try and beat you
But here are your three
Answers that you'll be choosing from
Billy the quest quest for fire or vision quest do two dollars yeah I like I like
that bid so for the game for the win if you get this
Which one of those movies the quest quest for fire or vision quest takes place in Spokane, Washington
Say the names of the the first was the first one again. There's the quest quest for fire or vision quest.
Oh, B. B quest for fire quest for fire.
You know what that is?
That I don't know what any of them are.
Quest for fire is a movie about cavemen and doesn't have any like.
I stand by it.
I stand by it.
I lived in Seattle for six years.
I've been to Spokane many times.
The Quest is a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie and which I think all of those are in New
Orleans. And then Vision Quest is a movie about Matthew Modine wants to be a successful wrestler,
but it's also a romance with Linda Fiorentino in her first movie role.
And that is the one that takes place in Spokane.
So Jeff is our winner today. Congratulations, Jeff.
Hell yeah. Always bet. Congratulations, Jeff. Hell yeah.
Always bet on yourself, Jeff.
Do you remember when we met Matthew Modine's son,
Bomo Dean?
Yeah, Bomo.
I remember Bomo.
