Yeah.
I wish there was a way that I could get this show to everybody

Oh, yeah, it's a podcast.
That's how I do it. But thank for being here in person you guys I really appreciate it

but it's out there. Oh, are you guys having the, don't forget to try some flappetizers

flappetizers they have here. And that's not a thing, you know, calling's got a nice plate of fries. It's one of the best flappatizers they have here.
And that's not a thing, you know, calling flappatizers.
But I wish they did.
Do we have enough name tags?
Do we have four more name tags?
One, two, three, four, five.
We did it.
Only one of you will not get chosen.

guys go to that show at ucb didn't he do a great job like he he's his hat his twitter name is kevin

and he did a great job of replicating the whole format of the show.
And so I dug out to him and also to, oh,
I swear I had another one that I was going to do, but maybe that's it.
Great.
Dug out to you guys.
Prize bag.
I brought some stuff.
I got this.
Look at this.
It's like a reusable bottle.
You can put stuff in, drink it.
It's called Swell.
Didn't need it sitting on my counter anymore.
This, though, I should have hung on to this long enough to read it
and then give it away, but I'm just so excited
to promote anything that this guy does.
I got an advanced copy of
John Hodgman's new book,
Medallion Status,
True Stories from Secret Rooms.
I'm already fascinated.
This guy makes you laugh and makes you learn
shit. He's got Admiral Ackbar
on the back of the book cover for some reason.
So it looks like he's going to see a movie called Naked.
So it's going to be an interesting book.
And you can preorder it now or purchase it straight up on October 15th.
And he's going to be back on the show soon.
In fact, he's booked for the 12 Guests of Christmas in New York.
Schedule permitting, of course.
A Douglas Rooney's t-shirt and a Douglas Rooney's sticker.
And all the stuff brought by my guest today.
If you listen to this show, I would dare say these are three of your favorites
or at least three that you like.
Please, please give it up, everybody,
for Billy Wayne Davis, Griffin Newman,
and Sam the Ma'am Levine,
a.k.a. Little Logan, formerly Little Wolverine.
He is here.
Let me get all this stuff off the chair
for you, Griffin.
Let's meet them individually.
First, let's say hi to Billy Wayne Davis, everybody.
Hey, everybody.
Thank you.
Thank you.
My friend that's appeared on
Dining with Doug and Karen
and Getting Doug with High, and he's here now.
And, you know, I'm just going to say,
I sort of threw you into the lion's den on this one
because these guys you're sitting between are serious movie trivia competitors.
Yeah, I just feel like I'm on a news show
where I'm like, oh, I'm the comic relief.
That's fine.
See?
Wait, a news show with comic relief?
Yeah, you know how they have some comedian come on MSNBC
and sit there for a while.
But all those comedians end up becoming real pundits eventually.
Like that guy Dino Badala used to be like,
let's get a comedian's take on this. now he's like that's all he does is have
a take on everything and it was not funny I think what's that is it funny I
sometimes yeah he still has a little wit in there but it's you know but it's
serious better he's not around out punchline yeah but you know there's so
much of that now where like whatever side
you're on
you can do
comedy on
their news shows
and it only
has to be
a little bit
funny to
qualify as
comedy because
like you're
saying it is
a news show
after all.
Just follow
Lester Holt.
Hey.
That was
the thing.
There was that brief moment where brian williams was america's favorite comedian before he became america's favorite liar yeah he had that window where
people are like he's so funny so hilarious for a newsman you need to be doing news
he's the tom hanks of newsmen. Watch him tell jokes. John Stewart would come back
like he's Walter Cronkite.
I wish he would just come tell us
how things would be.
He would just say they're bad.
The president is dead.
That's the kind of shit he would say.
John Stewart never got to
deliver that news.
But also joining us on the panel
and excited to be going head-to-head
with Sam Levine and Billy Wayne,
it's Griffin Newman, everybody.
Has Sam filled you in on any of the epic
and thoroughly exciting backstory to this
this day I don't think so you texted me today and said do you think you could do
Leonard Maltin game do you think you could handle it against Sam spoilers I
did and and what you didn't know was Sam and I met like six years ago.
It's true.
We were auditioning for the same role on a network sitcom.
And it's that terrible thing where you're in a room with like four other people who look like you.
And everyone's stressed out because they're doing the math on how differently their life would look for the next eight months,
depending on whether or not they get that job.
And I broke the silence by saying, Sam, I'm sorry to bother you.
I just want you to know my biggest career goal is to defeat you in the Leonard Moulton game someday.
So we started talking in a room where everyone else was just watching us, sweating.
We started quizzing each other.
And then about a year after that that Sam brought me to a show
to meet you to try to introduce me as a potential guest which did not work and
this has been my like outstanding dream in life since then. That's wild because anytime
Sam brings me somebody they come right in like he came to me he goes do you
want Leonard Maltin? I was like yeah okay let's give that guy a try. I thought I was gonna get the Leonard Maltin bump in want Leonard Maltin? I was like, yeah, okay, let's give that guy a try.
I thought I was going to get the Leonard Maltin bump in the Leonard Maltin game,
but it took longer, apparently.
I didn't have that sort of nepotism working for me.
I guess it's not nepotism if it's you.
You're powerful in this town if you know the Maltins.
If you know the Maltins.
They run everything.
They're big.
I was about to cut Sam loose when he brought the Maltins. They run everything. Yeah. They're big. Like, I, you know, I was about to cut Sam loose
when he brought the Maltins
into my life.
And now I,
now I can never let him go
because that's the greatest thing
that anybody's ever done for me.
Okay.
So,
thank you for being here.
My pleasure.
And I'm glad,
you know,
that's,
I'm excited about this,
this matchup
just because,
you know,
it just really looks good in print
to say that it's
Mothboy versus
Lil' Logan. And Lil' Logan, of course,
is Mr. Sam Levine!
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
What's up, dude?
What?
Oh, shit. It was just my phone.
So what
is your latest thing you've been
Working on are you shooting anything
I am I'm shooting
The DC Daily show
Still for DC Universe
Hey one not just one guy
Clapping but literally one clap
That was
There's a lot of passion though
Yeah That's about right one clap. That was... There was a lot of passion though. He was like, yeah!
That's about right.
Yeah, plus
the listeners probably won't even hear that one.
Right.
But yeah, I've been shooting that a lot, and then I've been on the
road a lot. Last
night I was in Austin, Texas.
Yeah, you were
correct to woo.
And the same
person who gave DC Daily
one clap gave a full woo to
Austin Dixit he's correct in
all his assessments that's my
agent and I bring him with me at every
show and
we did a fun
screening there of a movie
but I'll save that movie for the next round
of questions
and anyway it was a very late night and then I screening there of a movie, but I'll save that movie for the next round of questions.
Anyway, it was a very late night, and then I
tried to sleep in an airport.
Didn't work out.
Then I flew home, and
I've been up for two days.
What part of the airport did you try to sleep in?
The outer area.
I couldn't because security was closed at that hour.
Oh, I've been there. The wrong part. I can't sleep in. You just feel like, I'm going because security was closed at that hour. Oh, that's, I've been there.
The wrong part, I think, to sleep in.
You just feel like, I'm going to get in trouble for being here.
No, I was, this is actually really, I was, there were so many people sleeping in the airport in the outer area.
Were they filming the terminal part two?
The tuminal?
Yes.
Terminals.
the terminal yes
terminals
but
but
it was
it's been an interesting
an interesting
few days
is the point
that'd be kind of fun
like a whole family
living in an airport
yeah
they'll have to run around
and hide all the time
figure out disguises
okay so I think you can hide in a hospital for forever They'll have to run around and hide all the time, figure out disguises.
Okay, so I think you can hide in the hospital for forever.
Billy Wayne Davis was talking backstage about how if you just act like you know where you're going,
they'll let you go anywhere in the hospital.
Yeah.
I think they put those little nighties on you,
those little hospital gowns they make you wear.
I think that's just so that anybody wandering out in the hallway in one,
they just know, oh, that person, I need to get them to go back to their room.
You know, like they know where you think you're going.
If you can see someone's butt, they're in the wrong place.
They're heading in the wrong direction.
They're like, hey, what are you up to?
Ash cheeks.
I went to the hospital in gym shorts, so I just wore those the whole time,
and I never had to reveal my butt to everybody.
And did you tell them, you know,
listen, I'm supposed to be in surgery right now.
I need to scrub in.
Which floor is that?
Well, he's not in a gown
so he must be a doctor.
And they're like, oh, there's Captain Sweatpants.
Yep, I did have to wear the gown.
That covers up the top part.
Oh, you did have to wear the gown.
Gym shorts were on the bottom. I see, I wear the gown. That covers up the top part. Oh, you did have to wear the gown. The gym shorts were on the bottom.
I'm just saying my butt wasn't exposed.
I see.
I misunderstood.
Okay.
Forgot to show that I'm giving one of these away today.
My friend, Rox Brown, made a beautiful poster for Doug Loves Scary Movies coming up soon
in Denver, San Francisco, and Sacramento.
And yeah, I'll be selling those at those shows. movies coming up soon in Denver, San Francisco, and Sacramento. Woo!
And, yeah, I'll be selling those at those shows, but one of them goes in the prize bag
today, or near the prize bag, so I don't want to, you know, bend it.
What do you got for the prize bag, Sam?
Oh, well, I got two things.
The first is a trilogy. Oh, I got two things. The first is a trilogy.
Oh, I like it already.
This would be the complete Indiana Jones on DVD.
And it's got the bonus materials disc in there, too, courtesy of my girlfriend.
And here's the thing.
People are like, oh, physical media.
But DVDs are wonderful because of all the extra features.
We don't get those when you download something.
So enjoy these.
And also people are like, I want to watch The Last Crusade,
but I don't want to spend $3 renting it on iTunes.
Boom, now it's yours for free.
One person.
Yeah.
That person is out there.
And this.
I'm sure there's somebody that's dying to see Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Sure.
That's not in there. And that's dying to see Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Sure, that's not in there.
And that's just not even an option.
That was thoughtful.
It was very nice of the makers of that DVD.
I love that this collection has four discs.
They could have put it in there.
I think they made this before Crystal Skull.
Pre-Crystal Skull.
Do you remember those days?
The whole world changed when Crystal Skull came out.
It was a simpler time.
We only have this.
And then the second thing I have for the prize bag
for the first time in a long time
is an actual real prize for me.
It is the 10th anniversary Blu-ray edition
of Inglourious Bastards, which I signed.
Yay!
Did you sign it twice because you played two parts?
I did not.
I should have.
Yeah.
Aw. That's have. Yeah.
Aw.
That's a great stuff for the bag you show off.
Yeah.
He's got a win at everything, that Sam Levine.
Pass that down and tell me what you got, Billy.
Not that.
Well, we could say one of these is from you.
Okay, no.
Yeah, so we'll edit it later.
Oh, Billy, you brought the whole box set of Indiana Jones?
And I left out the Gristle Skull.
Oh, good job.
That's smart.
You know, there's not enough bonus material these days.
I'm so excited someone's going to get some bonus material.
What did you really bring, though?
I brought a Weedmaps hat.
Nice. It's a good hat. I just have a lot of hats. brought a Weedmaps hat. Nice.
It's a good hat.
I just have a lot of hats.
It's a stylish-looking hat, yeah. Yeah, it's a good hat.
I like it.
It's good service.
And this.
This a guy gave me after a festival in Bloomington, Indiana.
And he was like, I usually keep pistols in it, but you can't carry a pistol back to California.
And I was like, you're right about that.
But there was a switchblade in it, and I couldn't carry that back either.
So there's a switchblade in room 402 of the Hampton Inn.
But there's just a goodie bag.
There's like a pipe.
Also, there was two loaded dice in this bag with this.
I'm not making any of this up.
He just liked what I did.
He's like, I got it.
Here's a go bag for you.
Yeah, it's essentials.
Yeah.
You're out there in the streets.
Some loaded dice are going to really do you good.
And here's a tip.
You can't turn that down.
That's more dangerous.
Pull a gun out on somebody and go, let's play dice.
Yeah, he already told you,
I usually keep guns in this.
Here, take this knife.
It's a nice little Mr. Memer kit he gave you
between the gambling devices.
A knife and loaded dice.
Do you think you were going to Branson?
It was like a little rascal's version of like,
now you're a man.
It feels like stuff that he just needed
to get a new set of prints on. Yeah's some yeah there's a pokemon card yeah it's really dangerous bottomless what
the how many things there's some papers in there i see some papers and then the pipes and then a
lighter and morning after pill no that is electrolytes oh
i got confused so you gotta stay hydrated it doesn't work great yeah the zipper doesn't
pull across very well but yeah pass those down thank you for bringing that amazing stuff
and griffin what uh do you have for well i I'm excited to say that my items went up in value in the last 45 minutes since I bought them.
I will explain in a moment.
I bought two volumes of the Tick comic book and trade paperback.
The thing that inspired the show I was on that is very canceled.
So thoroughly canceled.
It's the thing that's fun about this new modern TV climate is after your show gets canceled you have to go through the
rigmarole of trying to get someone to uncancelled it so then when that fails
you're like I'm double canceled hey we're sure yeah we know for a fact I
keep checking in making sure that my shows are still canceled for the rest of
my life because you never know you never know when they might go,
hey, let's do that again.
Then they don't,
yeah, sometimes they don't call you.
They just do it.
They just do it.
What?
And I think that's unnatural
and I think it should be illegal
to be able to uncancel a show
without the permission
of the people involved.
There's a lot of stuff
that should be illegal.
Loaded dice, yeah,
should be illegal.
How much money do you think
Netflix gave to AMC
so that the words AMC have
nothing to do with the Breaking Bad
movie like it wasn't
their show to begin with?
Enough money that we wouldn't
understand what to do with it.
I almost thought you were going to say
I wouldn't understand the number.
It's such a high number.
Oh my God, there's more than one comma in this number.
They showed up in our bank account
and said, well, this is bad.
Do you know what the insane thing is?
The terms of that deal were,
oh, Netflix and AMC are going to split it.
It's going to be on Netflix for six months
and then it will air once on AMC.
That was how they settled that.
And then they put the gun back in their pocket.
Yeah. Deal.
The thing I wanted to say, though, is that
one of these two volumes, Karma Tornado,
which was the second arc
ever written for the Tick, was written
by a man, Chris McCullough, who is here in the audience
tonight. What? What? Which, to my pleasant
surprise, I had no idea.
So I was going to sign these and devalue them.
But also, perhaps
he can sign them now and he is the man
who actually is responsible for them. That sounds great.
Yeah. So whoever wins today,
just track him down and make him do it.
I won't tell you
who he is in this audience.
It's a game of chance. Oh, that's fun.
Yeah. You have to guess which member of the audience wrote this audience. It's a game of chance. Oh, that's fun. Yeah. Yeah, okay.
You have to guess which member of the audience wrote this book.
Yeah.
Who?
It's definitely, it's a he.
It's a he.
He identifies as a man.
That's the best writer.
Yeah.
Who smells?
That's the best guy in the room.
All right, so Sam alluded, or somebody did.
Yeah, Sam did.
Yeah, Sam did.
Yeah, that he already knows it.
I'm going to ask, what was the last movie you saw?
It was, in fact, Inglourious Bastards, which I watched last night with a full crowd,
a full packed house in Awesomeness Draft House.
How'd you do?
I think I did okay.
Did you do good in that version?
I think I did all right.
I did all right in this version, yeah.
Did you watch it?
We still killed Nazis in this version.
I hope I do good in this performance.
They didn't show the version
where we lose.
Every now and then you're like, shit.
I know it's out there.
We did that screening and then
lengthy Q&A and the crowd
was wonderful and it was
sponsored by Wizard World,
the convention company I do all those
conventions with.
How lengthy?
Lengthy?
Did you say it was a lengthy Q&A?
Yeah, it was over 30 minutes.
That is lengthy.
That is lengthy.
That's a girthy Q&A. It was the girthiest of Q&As.
How long is, what time does Inglourious Basterds clock in at?
How long is that one?
I think it's about two hours and 40 some odd minutes.
Good lord! Really?
I never thought of that as a long one. Is it just so
fast paced and exciting
that it doesn't seem that long? That's correct.
Holy shit!
I would have guessed that this
one now is the first one he's ever done
that's more than 230.
No, I think Basterds is over 230.
Other than Grindhouse. Honestly, I don't know.
I slept through most of it.
Those chairs are so comfortable there.
They were too comfortable.
Eat some fucking queso, have a drink.
I know.
Oh, that sounds awesome.
I know.
But yeah, I think it's over 2.30, if I had to guess.
And people were still like, I've got to ask this question.
Three hours in, they're like, I've got to hold on.
Yeah.
I mean, I was really blown away.
Like, when we intro'd the movie, and we asked how many people are seeing this for the first time,
and only, like, six people out of a full theater had never seen it.
I like to think they didn't know you guys were going to be there, too.
They're like, why are these guys here?
Yeah.
Why are they talking?
Just start the movie.
The best part was that I was like, oh, those guys are in the movie.
Point out at the beginning of the movie, what
Doug, you talked about earlier, that I play a second role
in the movie, Hitler's Portrait Painter.
And so I pointed it out ahead of
time, so they were all looking for it.
And it was
a real special treat for me.
And it
happened, and the whole audience was very
excited that they knew who the extra in the background was.
Oh, boy, yeah, that is so fun when that happens.
I've had that pleasure.
Because I, you know, I'm an extra in a bunch of things.
Lately I've been making people watch them.
So I can really bathe in the glory of being an extra.
Billy Wayne.
Yes.
Same question.
Last motion picture you viewed.
Sound and Fury.
I went to the Arclight to watch Sturgill Simpson's anime.
Yeah.
And it was fucking insane.
Really?
Yeah.
Sound and Fury.
Yeah.
Sturgill Simpson.
Simpson. And he's a musician. Yeah. Sturgill Simpson. Simpson.
And he's a musician.
Yeah.
And he animated or he hired people to animate it?
I think he hired people.
Yeah, he got some animation company.
I'm even more impressed with what they did.
And it's like psychedelic, you're saying?
Or just...
It's an anime.
He went to Japan and had...
With violence?
What?
Oh, yeah.
There's a lot of...
Oh, I'm in.
I'm in. Anime without violence. i don't have time for that but if it's got violence i'm down oh it's like the whole
story and then like his record is playing underneath the whole thing wow and then yeah
it's pretty dope it's i think it's on netflix now oh okay but i watched it on the big thing and like
it ended and you know people like at the end of those things,
people are like, wow, the first showing. Everybody's just
like, what the fuck?
It was cool.
And then people, like, slowly clap
because they're like, I don't, what happened?
It was a neat moment.
I'm going to check it out. Yeah.
Glorious Bastards, not so much.
Two hours, 33 minutes. Two, 33, okay. And you know that endorious Bastards, not so much. Two hours,
33 minutes.
Two,
33,
okay.
And you know that
end credits
is probably like
seven.
Yeah,
it probably is.
Five,
at least.
Yeah.
Because he likes
to do the shots
of all the actors.
Not in this one,
I don't think.
Oh,
really?
You didn't get
two little moments
in the end credits?
No,
I don't think so.
But were you listed
in the credits
as being the painter?
No.
That's even cooler.
Did they pay you double?
He was just there.
I worked on a separate deal.
You got a little bump, though?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, you probably got an extra tap.
You know, sex, a real pain in the ass
with that kind of thing, Griffin.
You got to work something else out.
All right, Griffin,
what was the last movie
you saw?
I went to see
Dracula last night.
Which one?
The Bela Lugosi one.
Ooh.
Ooh.
I'm just here.
Talk about scary movies.
Chilling
to my very core.
No one told me
this man's a vampire.
He was taken aback. No, he was playing man's a vampire. I was taken aback.
No, he was playing at the Old Town Music Hall in El Segundo.
And I'm here for a couple days, and I want to see a movie,
because that's what I do when I go to another city.
I go see a movie by myself.
And I saw that was playing, which was fun,
because they had, like, a whole organ and everything.
That's not a silent movie.
But a man just played 30 minutes on an organ before the movie and then they screened dracula and it felt
pretty ideal yeah they used to have an organist play before every show at the castro theater in
san francisco and uh so it was fun when i do my benson movie interruption to some dumb ass movie
you know some twilight movie but before the guy would just be like going to town
on the organ and entertaining the crowd,
and then it just, you know, lowers into the stage,
and then I do my thing,
but they stop doing it for some reason.
Maybe it was too corny, or I don't know.
It's quite a thing.
That's what I do every night, Doug.
I go to town on that organ.
Yeah.
And then you lower it into the stage.
And I wish you'd lower it into the stage right now.
So then, yeah,
so,
long story short, they don't do it anymore and I'm sad. Next question!
Oh, so
but Dracula, you said it's
chilling, it feels like something that
holds up or is it more of a curio?
No, I think it holds up. That is
I had seen it on
a small screen
before, watching in a theater
with people. That's quite
a good performance. Especially after getting whipped up
by that organ player. Oh man, I was in a frenzy.
You know what I mean? You're really excited for the cinema.
People were losing their, were tearing up the seat
cushions. Yeah.
No, it's one of those things where like, you know, it's a very
heightened movie and it's an old fashioned movie
and it's not scary in the way that we think of movies being scary today.
Because now movies have scares, and back then it was just like, this idea is frightening!
Like, they have a conversation.
That man slowly approaching might be a problem.
There's very little of that, though.
It's even more just like, I have to tell you something.
This man might be a vampire.
And you're like, that's the moment when people used to scream.
When it was introduced
as an abstract.
Yeah, or at least gasped.
And you can always see him coming.
It's always like a very wide shot
and he starts all the way in the back corner
and you can kind of set your watch to it.
You know his basic speed and rhythm.
You know his moves.
It tends to be the biting.
But that bellagos is a pretty compelling screen presence.
Does he bite anybody else?
I mean, does he bite anywhere else on anybody's body in the movie,
or is it always the neck?
Just the neck.
And, in fact, that's how they get him.
It's like his trademark, like a serial killer.
Oh, so they have, like, a fake neck set up, and he goes in there.
They got a neck sting going on.
And then Chris Hansen is in the next room.
Hey, why don't you have a seat?
How's that neck taste?
It's a neck covered in super glue, so he's stuck to it.
We gotcha!
What's in the bag?
You got some gauze there?
They keep on in the movie, someone will find a neck and be like,
I think this might be
dracula there are like four different incidents in the movie where someone's like let me just check
here one two bite marks yeah i gotta tell you bad news i think this might be a dracula this sounds
like a lot of fun i had a great time yeah i had a great time yeah it sounds like it was a lot of
fun for you i didn't finish my sentence but uh. But I think we should all give it a try.
Who's in?
Yeah.
I have a follow-up question, if you don't mind.
Please.
What's your favorite, since you go to a movie by yourself every time you're in L.A.,
what's your favorite place?
Anytime I'm anywhere, but yes.
Yeah, yeah, no, I get it.
That's why I extrapolated it to L.A.
Sure, sure.
Because it is a place.
Sure, sure.
And every time you're here, you go to see a movie alone,
but do you have a favorite theater?
Oh, that's a great...
In the L.A. basin, as we like to call it.
Question.
You know, I don't drive.
And when I used to come out here in the pre-Rideshare days,
I would, like, I'd be trying to do auditions
and stuff, and I'd set those appointments like four or five hours apart so I'd have
time to literally walk from audition to audition or take the bus.
So I would show up to everything like drenched in sweat, and they'd ask me if I needed parking
validated and I was like, does it look like I need parking validated?
And then I proceeded to give great auditions that never booked me roles.
We liked the wet guy.
Yeah, that guy.
Once I went in for, I think it was the Scream TV show,
and they told me I seemed too scared.
They were like, can you calm down?
And I was like, I'm sorry, I'm just really amped up.
I walked, and they were like, from where?
And I was like, Santa Monica. And I'm just really amped up. I walked and they were like, from where? And I was like, Santa Monica.
And they were like, sir, this is burning.
They were looking for Jamie Kennedy energy.
Yes, right, right.
And I was giving a full Renfield energy.
Or what's the other guy?
Matthew Lillard.
Sure, sure.
They wanted a chill dude, skeet skeet.
Yeah, so very often when I see a movie by myself,
it used to be like, oh, an audition gets canceled
and now I have a longer chunk of time to kill,
so what's the closest theater?
I do like the Arclight a lot.
Okay, I was just going to say.
That's my short answer.
Go ahead.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, Arclight is cool and you can go,
you know, they're all over the place too now.
But it sounds like you went to hell and back to see Dracula.
That place isn't close.
It's close to where I'm staying because I'm staying at a bad hotel.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah, not to brag, but.
Did you book the hotel to be near the theater to see Dracula?
Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
So it's very convenient for that one night.
It's less so for the rest of the week.
Okay.
Well, this is the part where I say
turn it off, Bert.
Let the games begin!
I've prepared three
games, and this is a mystery which ones
it's going to be, so
just hang in there and you'll find out
as we go along.
And one of these,
just a little tease, keep you interested, one of these, just a little tease,
keep you interested,
one of these is a new game.
Yes.
Yes, Sam loves a new game.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, Sam loves a game
where there's no time
to figure out the strategy.
No time.
You just gotta jump in blindly.
Do it on the fly.
Like a ridiculous fool.
It's called
Name the Cast of 1931's Dracula. do it on the fly like a ridiculous fool it's called name the cast
of 1931's Dracula
how many Dracula
people can you name
Sam
from the 1931
yeah
Bela Lugosi
who's the lady
what are you looking
over there for
my girlfriend
is also a movie buff
right
but you kind of
looked at that lady
who shrunk
because she thought
you were going to her.
She's like, I don't fucking know, Sam.
Don't look over there.
She's just trying to eat her flammatizers.
A plate of tater tots that is the most appetizing
bowl of tater tots I've ever seen in my life.
No, I'm fine, thank you.
I just want to admire it.
They do look great.
They really do.
It's like a Sonic.
That's probably one of my favorite Flapitizers.
Good to have you.
Okay, I forgot what was happening, so let's move on.
Okay.
This first game...
Oh, wait, do we have to pick name tags?
Oh, good call, good call.
You've got so many to choose from.
This is going to be real tough for you guys.
You're on their tag.
Yeah, oh, there you go. You're on that one but uh we'll go to a break while these guys uh work it out amongst these uh very few name tags
who's gonna be played for we'll be right back hey y'all just want to take a second to mention
that douglow's movies will be at the miami improv for the first time
ever on saturday november 23rd at 4 20 so please come out to that lots of shows coming up and all
the deets of course are at douglovesmovies.com that's douglovesmovies.com Yeah, ca-ca, etc.
Back to the show!
We're back! Sam, who are you playing for?
I'm playing for The Life Aquatic with Steve Z-Sam.
Z-Sam.
Z-Sam.
Also Sam.
Yeah, he held it up and said You're on it
Drew you to it
Like a moth to a flame
Like a moth boy
To a movie trivia competition
Billy, who are you playing for?
It's like a scroll
Sid
And the guy's name is Sid
Girl The lady's name is Sid? Sid.
Girl. The lady's name is Sid. Sidney.
Sidney's here. Not Sidney.
Just Sid?
It's an Indian name. Oh, an Indian name
and you just took three letters that are
in it?
Oh, okay.
Yeah. Well, thank you, Sid,
for making the
insidious poster. And this one. Yeah. Wow. Well, I you, Sid, for making the insidious poster.
And this one.
Yeah.
Wow.
Well, I feel like an asshole because there's a gentleman here right front and center with a really well done full poster where he placed your face over most of the cast of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
And my instinct was.
That's a great title for Live, Die, Repeat.
Right.
He's a Patreon subscriber of yours. He's a Patreon subscriber of yours.
He's a Patreon subscriber of Griffin Newman.
And he picks this piece of shit.
Give me this.
I'll take care of this.
Okay.
Take his name tag.
Fuck that guy who just wrote Nate on a piece of...
On a flapper.
He wrote Nate and then underneath it...
Request card.
In parentheses, he wrote LOL.
And that won me over.
Good try, Nate. I appreciate your
spirit.
I am playing for Alec, of course.
One of my best friends.
And the titular star
of Alec, Ander, and the
Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day.
Which otherwise stars Doug Benson
in every other role. I look great in this movie.
Yeah, you look fantastic.
I'm really pulling off all these characters beautifully.
I don't know what that green shit I'm eating is,
the baby version of me, but all the others.
Alec looks good, too.
This is a good job, Alec.
Thank you, Alec.
Yeah.
I always believed in you.
I'll try not to stab you on it when I get off the stool.
The tagline for that movie is,
one day can change everything?
Yep, I believe I've used that tagline in the game.
Whose tagline is it anyway?
That is weirdly obvious.
Nobody got it.
Taglines are awful most of the time.
When you say to somebody, name five good ones,
they tap it just when you think it's name five good ones they you know they tap it uh
just when you think it's safe to get back in the water after they say in space no one here
you scream yeah no the number one the number one is do you know what sam i don't
i don't either it's probably one of those other two i'll tell you what i recently have come around
to be my my podcast co-host, David Sims,
alerted me to the fact,
and now I think this is the best tagline.
The tagline for Lethal Weapon 2 is,
the magic is back, which is weird.
But where it really achieves transcendence
is the tagline for Lethal Weapon 3 is,
the magic is back again.
It's a dot, dot, dot again.
Here it comes again.
The magic is back again. They just keep recreating the magic yes of lethal
weapon no review in the world calls that movie magical weird word to self
discover of course you know that thing the magic between these two guys is back
well they don't want to say the chemistry is bad right because then
people think it's about learning totally Totally. And I guess other...
I'm sure that conversation happened.
Yes.
We can't use the word chemistry on a stupid Lethal Weapon poster.
Right.
Okay.
Here we go, you guys.
This first game is something called...
Oh, I just mentioned it.
Let's play Live, Die, Repeat.
Oh, boy.
Yeah.
Woo! All right. oh I just mentioned it let's play live die repeat oh boy yeah you guys know
how this works
yeah
I'll say the title
of an actual movie
slowly
the first person
who gets the full
and correct title
that I am looking for
not some other movie
the one I want.
That person wins.
Come on, everybody, here we go.
A nightmare.
On Elm Street.
Before Christmas.
A nightmare on Elm Street.
Nightmare.
Part two.
On Elm. A nightmare on Elm Street. Nightmare. Part 2. On Elm.
A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3.
Street. Dream Warriors.
A Nightmare
on Elm
Street 2.
Oh,
Nightmare on Elm Street 2, Freddy's Revenge.
That's it! Freddy's Revenge!
Happy
October, everybody. Come see Scary Movies. Don't go to Scary Movies. Freddie's Revenge happy October everybody
come see Scary Movies
don't love Scary Movies
exciting thing about
Freddie's Revenge
is that
you know that infamous scene
where Freddie
strips a man down
and murders him
in the showers
of the
next to the gymnasium,
because he's the high school gym coach that's fairly abusive,
so Freddy thinks it's funny to really, really fuck with him.
Yeah.
I was his stand-in, and that's my butt.
I'm just kidding.
That's not my butt.
That's the real guy's butt,
but it's my hands and wrists when his uh hands and wrists
are being real because they sent him home for the day after smacking his ass with a towel that
flew through the air magically because you don't see freddie doing it it's just a towel just
smacking right yeah so he got to go home and i had to do the uh part so it's my hands oh wow
a much younger man's hands
I should say, but nobody gives a shit.
Great story, Doug. Next game.
I liked it. I liked it too.
Sam.
Yeah. You do not get
to go first in this game. Billy,
you also do not get to go first.
Griffin won that
last game. Yes.
So he's going to start us off.
And this thing is called, I swiped it from The Price is Right.
It's called More or Less.
I'll go to each panelist one at a time.
I'll name a movie and a dollar amount.
And you tell me if that movie grossed more or less this is
North American domestic box office according to box office mojo calm thank
you god you're really a man after my own heart I just I got jitters here and you
saw oh my god what a dreamboat I Unadjusted, domestic. Not adjusted for inflation.
Right, and as Sam said, not worldwide.
Okay.
Just in North America, which includes our friends in Canada.
Oh, also spay and neuter your pets.
Thank you, Bob.
Griffin, you're first, so you get this movie all to yourself.
Oh, and when you get one wrong, then you're out.
Okay.
So I hopefully have enough of these.
Okay.
Griffin, the motion picture is called Batman.
And just to make it a little more specific, it's from 1989.
Okay.
Domestic, I'm just repeating this one more time
not adjusted for inflation adjusted final domestic growth 230 million dollars more
or less i'm gonna say more doug you are the answer
the answer is more.
It grossed $251 million.
That was my guess.
Really?
I was going to throw it out there, but $251 I thought was... It felt right.
Okay.
Well, good for you.
You're still in this.
Okay.
Yeah.
Billy, you ready?
Sure.
The motion picture is called Batman and Robin.
115 million.
More or less?
Less.
Than that.
That is correct. It was less.
than that.
That is correct. It was less.
It grossed $107 million,
which is about $105 million too much in my
estimation of that film.
But I will watch parts of it on cable
because it is fascinating
how wrong they got it.
You ready, Sam?
You're going to give me the red
balloon, aren't you?
You know, sometimes the twist comes on the third one,
but maybe this time I'll stay more on point
and make you tell me whether you think it's more or less
the gross of a motion picture called
Batman v. Superman, Dawn of Justice.
Can't believe Justice began
when those two started fighting.
It didn't begin, it just dawned.
It was just starting to dawn on people.
Oh, Justice.
Oh.
That's a good idea.
Oh.
Why not?
Got it.
$320 million, Sam.
Indeed.
Yeah.
I'm going to say more.
That is correct.
Wow.
You guys are good at this.
You guys are just watching anything out there.
So it's $325. And it was by a small margin. Yeah, are just watching anything out there. So 325.
And it was by a small margin.
Yeah, it made 330.
330 million.
Wow.
That is, speaking of something making too much.
All right.
This movie made, I'm not going to say.
That's the opposite.
I'm not going to throw that out there.
Griffin, the motion picture is called The Dark Knight,
and the number is $575 million.
I'm going to say Les Douglas.
That's what you're going to say?
I'm going to say Les.
Well, you know what? What? I'm impressed, because less Douglas. That's what you're going to say? I'm going to say less. Well, you know what?
What?
I'm impressed.
Because it's less.
Wow.
Can I take a guess?
Oh, please.
532?
You motherfucker.
533.
Whoa.
Weird.
How the hell?
How is this happening?
All right, we got time for this.
This is a very suspenseful game, I hope.
And I appreciate this audience not yelling out
higher and lower like this is Price is Right.
I'm afraid that will happen someday, especially now did i bring it up okay whose turn is it mine oh i know oh billy
oh i feel like i might as well just say what i'm gonna guess now
you could go you could if You might as well get some clues
before deciding to guess.
That's how educated it's going to be,
probably. If you want to say, oh, Billy,
you can either go Ted Knight from Caddyshack
or I like
to go the girlfriend from
Midnight Express.
That's darker.
Oh, Billy!
She's very upset, Gus. Yeah, it's not a pleasant moment at all.
I'm sorry Sam brought it up.
I'm sorry Sam mentioned something nobody here has ever seen.
Totally different movies.
But do Ted Knight, though.
Oh, Billy.
That's good.
You'll get nothing and like it.
All right, so Billy, did I tell you the movie yet? Nope. put me to sleep you'll get nothing you'll like it alright
so
Billy
did I tell you
the movie yet
nope
the Lego Batman movie
nope
160
million
more
or less
more
it is more
cause I'm in it
yes
I'm not gonna be in some stupid $160 million movie.
I go all the way to $175, baby.
All right.
I never use baby for good reason.
Sam?
Yep.
Blank man.
The motion picture
you're the worst
blank man
yes I find myself on the
program with the same name
you're the worst
11 million
11 million Sam
oh boy
11 million dollars
you just made me realize.
I never knew why they asked me to be on You're the Worst.
Now I know.
It's because I am indeed the worst.
Doug, I'm going to say less.
Less than $11 million?
Yeah, that movie was an absolute bomb,
and it came out in a day when tickets cost $4.50.
I'll bet it made $9 or $10.
It made $7.9 million.
Sam is still in it.
I'm going to have to bust out a tiebreaker on your asses
because you guys are all...
Thank you for giving me the ones with the absolute smallest margin.
Hey, man.
Do you think I decide where you're going to sit?
Uh-huh.
Griffin.
Batman, colon, the killing joke.
Oh, geez.
Yeah.
Because this was one of those, mostly a direct-to-video film that I believe got a little run.
Popular, yeah.
Okay. Yeah, okay. We little run. Popular. Popular. Yeah.
We'll see.
$17 million.
Going to say less.
That is correct. Way less.
You knew how lightly distributed it was. $3.7 million.
That's even higher than I thought.
Good for them.
That's where I was afraid that you were going to say one
and I wouldn't have known
that's still a lot of people
yeah
for being honest
the interesting thing about this game now I'm thinking is like
when I get a bunch of dummies up here
are they going to be able to
do as well at it or is it going to be too hard
for them
I'm pretty dumb and I'm having a good time with it.
Killing it.
Yeah.
I guess, yeah,
there's two ways to guess
but you guys are,
you guys really are
destroying it.
It's a true-false thing.
Maybe it's one of those games
where I just, you know,
I tip it too much
with my voice.
In terms of the score,
we're all doing
equally well right now,
the three of us.
Yeah, but I think
the difficulty of what,
like if he just said
blank man to me,
I'd be like,
I don't fucking know.
You don't know what that is?
No, I don't know.
Damon Wayans was a...
Oh, is that what it was?
Was a superhero,
but it's just a guy
in like his jammies
and a kid.
I do remember
he did the voice.
Yeah, I remember that.
Never mind.
I just blacked it out.
Unfortunate choice of words.
Billy, this is also going to be
unfortunate for you because
it's an interesting one.
The motion picture
Mommy Dearest.
Yeah.
$42 million.
I'm going to say more.
Finally, I'm going to kick somebody out of this game.
Damn it.
It made less.
It was like a sensation in terms of everybody knowing about it
and saying no more wire hangers.
But at the box office, it only made $19 million,
which also wasn't a terrible gross at that time.
But $4 tickets, as Sam pointed out.
A little less than three blank bands, yeah.
So that leaves us with Sam and Griffin.
Do you think, Sam, that going first
is an advantage in the Leonard Maltin game?
Do you find that?
Oh, it's a huge advantage.
Yeah, you find that to be the power position
at the top of the game.
Yes, as opposed to Last Man's Stand,
where it's a distinct disadvantage to go first.
Well, I wouldn't say distinct
because you can name a movie that's clearly going to
be named later and get it out.
I'm happy to switch
positions. I'll play by Deal or No Deal
rules in which you can
exchange the case
if you want. What does that mean?
In Deal or No Deal, when it comes down
to the final case and you've been
banking on this one case you've had the whole time,
they say, if you want, you can just swap it.
But what are you planning to swap here?
Chairs.
Well, why would you swap?
It's not happening yet.
I'm aware.
I'm aware.
I'm just saying.
So you're suggesting that if you win the right to go first in Leonard Maltin game,
you would let me pick first instead is what you're saying?
Yes.
Okay. I cannot abide
by that. Okay. Yeah, that's not right.
Yeah. Don't show up here
with your own rules. Okay.
Don't walk in and go,
hey, Alex Trebek, this whole question
thing, why don't we
flip it? Make the answer
an answer. Right.
Alright.
Oh, and by the way mathematically speaking you're always
supposed to switch the case really yes what a good show what do you mean
mathematically it's it's a thing that this is gonna get so boring so I'll say
it in 10 seconds cool statisticians are it's called the Monty Hall Conundrum. If you start with 30 cases, every case has a 1 in 30 chance of having a million dollars.
If you mathematically eliminate every case that isn't there,
and you know one case has it and one case doesn't,
one case that you pulled with 1 in 30 odds,
the other case doesn't have 1 in 30 odds.
It has 1 out of 2 odds.
Got you.
So you're swapping 1 out of 2 for 1 out of 30.
You did good on that.
It's like I got the concept and the answer.
There you go.
It's like a sign of a genius.
The trouble is, by that point, a lot of numbers are off the board.
Sure.
And people just don't know what to do with themselves.
Also, they're on TV.
They're just stuck with that case.
Yeah.
So sometimes switching it feels like it might do something. They've gone through so much with that case at that point. Yeah. they're on TV. They're just stuck with that case. So sometimes switching it feels like it might.
They've gone through so much with that case at that point.
Yeah.
Alright. So to settle
this, like men, we are going to
do a tiebreaker.
This is a speed round, guys.
Okay. I think. Let me read
it.
Okay, the winner is the first person
who can tell me the name. Oh, I'm about to say it. I'm the winner is the first person who can tell me the name.
Oh, I'm about to say it.
I'm going to say something
that's going to lead. It's a question.
And then first one to answer it.
Congrats, Griffin.
It's only
to get to go first in Leonard Mallgame
and apparently you two are willing
to swap.
I like tension. I like dramatic tension.
Okay, I'm going to drag this out then.
Cool.
Cool.
Name the second highest grossing Batman movie.
The Dark Knight.
Batman versus...
Dark Knight Rises.
That is correct.
You weren't playing, Billy.
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear about that.
That was a tiebreaker between those two guys.
But he still got in there as fast as Sam
after being told the answer.
That's fine.
So Griffin gets to go first in.
It's making a return today, obviously.
The Leonard Maltin game.
Yay!
Oh my God, I gotta piece so bad right now where's the nearest bathroom in this place right
there the par what we got a spittoon you know flappers 20s through that door
there or through the exit door and then there's one right there?
That.
All right.
This will be interesting.
I'm going to go to the bathroom
and I don't want to go to a commercial break
because who likes ads?
Could the three of you
amongst yourselves
tell us some impressions that you can do
and do them?
Sure.
I mean, I wish I could be here for it
but maybe I'll be able to hear it in the bathroom. Sure. I mean, I wish I could be here for it, but maybe I'll be able
to hear it in the bathroom.
Sure.
But I'll be,
I almost said
I'll be right back,
but I don't want to go
to a commercial,
so just,
Yep, you got it.
See you soon.
Cool.
You could have said
I'll be back
and done your
Schwarzenegger.
Oh.
Schwarzenegger is so like,
I want ones that are like
nobody does them impressions
because then that'll teach us.
Okay.
Like Daniel Plainview from There Will Be Blood?
Yeah.
I learned this from a comedian named Topher Riddle recently.
And I'm going to do Christopher Walken saying Billy's name.
Cool.
Ready?
Billy Wayne Davis.
Pretty good. Good. Pretty good.
Pretty good.
Well, I feel like...
Christopher Walken, everybody.
You got started doing a lot of impressions.
Not a lot.
And you did a lot of impressions on Freaks and Geeks.
I remember, like...
I did...
Kersh Shatner.
Right.
And Rod Serling.
Sure.
But I guess at that age, were you working on learning them?
Do you still kind of, like, sometimes try to...
No.
No.
I did them very sparingly
and it's always very unusual characters
like Daniel Plainfield.
Would you care to hear it?
Okay.
It's a whole physical thing here.
Plus this will give me some energy.
It's blood flowing to my head.
Sid, you're going to
stand in for Paul Dano here. I'm so excited for you. No, that's okay. Don't worry about it. You don't have to my head. All right. Sid, you're going to stand in for Paul Dano here.
I'm so excited for you.
No, that's okay.
Don't worry about it.
You don't have to do anything.
All right.
Now, if you have a straw,
my straw goes all the way over here,
then I drink your milkshake!
I drink it up!
That's it.
That's the impression.
I gotta say,
the physicality really did make it.
It really does add to it, right?
You had the old man Plainville crouch.
My one that I'm
proud of is
Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
Because I feel like I hit on it, and I feel like I hadn't heard anyone else get to him yet.
So it's going to sound like I'm saying this because of your prize bag,
but this is the line that I used to get into him from Inception.
Everyone has their particular totem.
My totem is a loaded die
Only I know the exact weight and size of that loaded die
That's good
Wow
It's pretty good
It's good because I was immediately annoyed by you
That's the thing
I was like what?
That's like genius
I want to recommend you add some musicality to it next time
It really sells
I know
I do a little bit of the sort of the sway and the squint,
but I haven't gotten him standing yet.
I only have a sitting JGL.
Okay.
Yeah, my wife does her mother,
and sometimes she does it so well it makes me mad.
I'm like, all right, you guys, don't feel good right now.
She's like, thank you so much.
Thanks for filling in, you guys.
Happy to do it, Doug.
They nailed it.
Yeah, you didn't do an impression?
I'm not an actor.
Well, I don't think you have to be an actor.
I can do like, damn it, Bobby.
I can do most of what Mike Judge can do.
From a similar area.
Can you do
that guy that nobody understands what he's saying?
Oh yeah, like Boom Howard?
Damn, damn, damn, damn.
In a world where
love is against the law.
That's my favorite line from that show.
Propane!
That's my word.
Propane accessories.
Great job filling in before this very exciting
I know everybody's still listening because
everybody's so excited for
the Leonard Maltin game so let me
pull it out of the bag
I've got some categories
prepared now Sam
you have a preference between the category
where I don't reveal
what the category is
until you pick it
or would you rather
just know straight up?
I mean,
you get the laughs
either way.
Oh, I love knowing.
Yeah?
Yeah, it helps me,
you know,
I get to zone in
when she's saying it.
Yeah, okay.
I mean,
you don't get to go first anyway.
I'm aware.
I'm still just checking in
with you because I know.
Yeah, I know.
I know you've played the most.
No, it's fine. The most of any person. I'm still just checking in with you because I know. I know. I know you've played the most. No, it's fine.
The most of any person.
I hope that's not true.
I can't believe it wouldn't be.
Because now I only drag it out when you're here.
All right.
Your category options, Griffin.
Oh, so we've been going, you know, it'll go Griffin, then Sam, then Billy.
All right.
But everybody should pay attention.
Your options, Griffin, are four-letter word.
That's a movie.
The title is just four letters.
There's no such thing as a country.
That's movies with the name of a country in the title.
And the Emma dilemma that's movies based on Jane Austen books category all these dudes are pregnant die back which one do you like, Griffin? Well, my friend Becca was the one clapping for Emma Delano.
It's okay.
You can do what you want.
Yeah, I'm not going to do that.
I'm going to do four-letter word, please.
All right.
And this is a movie with four letters in the title.
Two stars from Leonard in the year
2013
sorry you guys
the year is
30,000
5200
and 2013
2013 two stars
I think yeah
I think Leonard was in a bad mood that year
he says this movie is frequently irritating I think, yeah, I think Leonard was in a bad mood that year.
He says this movie is frequently irritating.
Wow.
Yeah.
And he says the visuals recall an episode of TV's Batman show from the 80s.
60s, sorry.
He sang that in a derogatory way? The Batman from the 80s?
Is that a typo?
Anyway.
That's what Leonard wrote.
Or one of his minions.
Is that when Leonard saw it?
It was the 80s.
Fifteen names.
Fifteen names.
Are listed.
Four letter word.
By Mr. Malton.
Fifteen names.
Yeah.
I'm going to half it. I'm going to half it.
I'm going to say seven.
Opening bid, seven names.
Sloppy math, but odd number.
Sam gets to say name that movie or bid lower on this 2013 frequently irritating,
something to do with
looking like TV's Batman
I mean there's only been one TV's Batman
so it must be
I'm a white sissy
I think it does say 60's
I gotta wear my reading glasses
I gotta get and then wear some reading glasses
well Griffin I know you came here to play, so go ahead, Griffin.
You can name that movie in seven names.
Okay.
See what happens, Billy?
You're just sitting there and can't do nothing about this.
I got no sense of what it is right now, so I'm really banking on some names.
Okay.
Your seven names are...
Wait a second.
Let me double check something here.
I want to make sure I'm reading from the right direction.
Wait, am I playing this?
No, you just...
Unfortunately, they both move so fast
that you're shut out.
But in the next round, you get to start things off.
I do feel like the little guy when my two big friends are fighting.
Oh, shit.
I don't know how I'm going to stop this.
But also, I speak for Sam here as a fellow little guy.
That's how we feel in every other area of our lives,
especially when it comes to fighting.
I'm going to walk you guys to your car. Right, exactly.
But right now, I'm like,
it's scary.
Well, check this out.
Okay.
Griffin, your seven names are
Bradley Whitford,
Mickey Summer,
Freddy Rodriguez,
Joel David Moore, Donald Logue,
Stana Kanek.
Did I say that right, Sam?
I don't know.
She's on that show with that guy.
Okay.
And Ryan Hurst.
Huh.
Yeah, this is this Dana Kanick
she was on the show
with
Nathan Fillion
thank you
Bradley
Bradley Whitford
right at the bottom
of that list
yeah interesting
huh
interesting
kind of like a
relief picture
bring Bradley
in
bottom of the ninth
four letter word
movie that is frequently irritating
and recalls what I would think of as the perfect aesthetic values
of the 1960s Batman TV show.
This is a rough one.
This is a rough one.
I'm not going to lie.
I appreciate you coming out swinging.
Yeah. I'm literally now to lie. I appreciate you coming out swinging. Yeah.
I'm literally
now, my thought process is
think of a four letter word.
That's part
of the problem. The category is called four letter word.
Right. Because there are four
letters in the title
of this movie. Right.
I'm going to say...
No audience guesses, please.
It's very suspenseful.
Someone just felt like they figured it out.
Maybe.
There was a sound effect.
I don't think they did, but maybe they did.
This one, I would not have gotten this one.
I didn't make that noise.
This one, I would not have gotten this one.
I didn't make that noise.
Okay.
I'm going to take a guess, try and decipher your last little hint.
I mean, it's been the same hint, but probably saying it again could have helped you.
Right.
Four letter words.
No, that's the name of the category.
Right. The category is movies
that have a title that has four letters in it yeah so movie that's 18 letters
also has four letters in it I'm making this too complicated but oh so it could
be any title what I mean it's got you've got to say the right title.
But it could have any number of letters in the words?
No, this movie title. This thing has broken my brain.
I know. That's what's annoying about it.
Once you hear it, you're going to go, oh, yeah, okay.
Now I get what he was driving at, but I also
can't just sit here and give it away because
I'm apoplectic on the other end.
I'm going to take a guess.
And I might be wildly wrong.
Is it ACOD?
Oh, see, you did figure it out.
It was the right line of thinking.
You cracked the code.
Okay.
Yeah, but the movie's called, Sam?
I have no idea.
Oh.
CBGB oh wow
right
that is a tough one
wow
yeah nice try though
that you came up with
ACOD
that was pretty impressive
yeah
what does that stand for
that was
adult children of
four
Adam Scott movie
yeah yeah
I mean
amazing pull
like you
you've lost better
than most people do
I will say that CBGB's movie which which I've watched maybe five minutes of,
is weirdly styled like a comic book.
And frequently irritating, obviously, because it got you out in five minutes.
Yep.
But it starred the great Alan Rickman, so I always meant to watch it.
But I never did.
Is he good in it? Did you see it?
No, nobody saw it.
It's on our list. it's on our Netflix cube
is it really it will be now okay so that means that Sam's on the board one point
this is a game where you only gotta do is get two points you're the winner so
now it's time for ability to step up. Of course, Billy, we switch the order around each time.
So Billy's not only going first, he's going right in to Sam Levine,
who gets to go second, and then Griffin.
Billy, pick a category. between your options are Great Scots.
That's the films of Tony or Ridley
or some guy named Ken Scott.
Not Michael Scott?
No, yeah, the Agent Scorn movie is not Scorn.
Another category is the penis game,
and that's movies with dick in the title.
Or drunk...
Drunk their story.
Drunk their story, like drunk history.
That's movies featuring alcohol consumption
which i guess happens in many movies but it's featured in this movie what do you think billy
great scots penis game drunk their story great sc Scots. Okay. This motion picture
came out in
coincidentally
2013.
Whoa.
Two and a half stars
from Leonard.
I told you
that year
he was unhappy.
Two and a half stars?
Two and a half.
Okay.
He calls this movie
manipulative
from the word go.
I don't know why
I didn't include that part because that's a great sentence. Manipulative from the word go. I don't know why I didn't include that part
because that's a great sentence.
Manipulative from the word go.
It's hard to manipulate from the start.
I mean, immediately manipulating is really,
that's manipulation.
And he also calls it a modern day fable.
And he lists 10 names.
How many names do you think you can get this in?
Billy Wayne.
Two.
What?
Name them.
Hang on a second.
That is awesome.
Yeah, everybody's upset.
We've got to talk you through this.
Sam just jumped in on you like a fucking wild animal on a poor lovely.
I like your passion, you guys.
You made the team.
Yeah. We've got to rewind here a second. Less than, more than two. animal on a poor lovely... I like your passion, you guys. You made the team. Yeah, let's...
We've got to rewind here a second.
Less than... More than two.
I like that. I like that.
That's a good starting point, but let's get a more
specific number. So, if I name
two, I'm just going to name two of the most
smallest parts.
You can just name any motherfucker, right?
You can just name any, but not
any, but in the movie right
that's what i'm saying is you want those top three four names like as you saw our friend
griffin here you just heard the supporting cast and bit players and didn't really get to the juice
do you think alan rickman would have given it away for you or it would i would have figured
out with that and joel david moore I know, played Joey Ramone in that movie.
Oh, really?
Because he was also auditioning against us for that sitcom.
Wait, what?
Who was?
Joel David Moore.
Oh, yeah, he was there, wasn't he?
Yes.
Oh, I like him.
Yeah, he's the robot man in Grandma's Boy.
Oh, he's the funniest.
So funny in that.
So funny.
He's really good in Dodgeball, too.
You didn't get Dodgeball, Sam?
No, I love Dodgeball. It's good, Sam? No, I love dodgeball.
It's good, right?
Yeah, it's very funny.
It's a true underdog story.
Say what?
It's a true underdog story.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Full title.
Stephen Rude.
Full title.
All right, so in the interest of making this game last a little longer.
Can I do seven?
Is that too much?
I wouldn't recommend it.
Even more than seven.
Because as I suggested backstage,
10 names is a great way to start.
10 names? Because you're moving the ball away from you
and you don't have to...
I'm sorry.
No, no, no, you're fine, you're fine.
Sam doesn't like this part.
He's like...
Sam, do you want to just go back to his initial wager?
No, of course not.
And then we'll just do impressions for the rest of the show? No, of course not, Doug. Or do you want to just go back to his initial wager? No, of course not. And then we'll just do impressions for the rest of the show?
No, of course not, Doug.
Or do you want to play to three points?
No.
Why are we changing all the rules?
Because Billy is really ruining everything.
Oh, Billy ruins everything.
I love that show on TruTV.
No, no, they passed on it.
But he's ruining it by making it better.
Yeah.
Because we have the time, and you guys both are very cocky about this.
I'm not cocky at all.
In fact, you already have a point.
Take all ten.
Go ahead.
I'll do all ten.
Oh, shit.
Well, wait.
What just happened?
Okay.
He hit me.
Wow.
But then, Sam, he's not going to get the answer, and then you are going to win.
With all ten names?
Yeah, that's the idea is
okay, we'll play to three.
We'll play to three.
Can I try?
Yeah, of course.
Of course you can try.
I was just seeing it go the other way.
Him bidding ten and then the
responsible thing to do, the thing you do
if you're trying to win, is not give him
all ten and bid whatever you're going to bid.
Sure, but in this particular scenario, based on the clues you give,
I don't have the faintest idea what this movie is,
so me bidding any number of names is going to put me out of contention.
You don't think you can get it in nine names?
Probably not.
You'll say the name and I'll go, oh, yeah, that,
but based on everything you've said so far, I don't have anything.
I barely gave you anything.
Exactly.
It's a big movie.
You'll know it based on six or seven
of the names.
Do it.
It's alright.
Definitely putting this game out to pasture
for good.
Well, because it's just, this shit happens every time.
This is going to get so exciting.
Thrilling shit.
Just real quick, I'm going to test my blood pressure real quick. exciting thrilling shit oh no not too tense to do it now that I broke it thank
you thanks nurse all right so um do you have a stethoscope?
I can do it the old fashioned way
what does that mean?
through a stethoscope they can tell you what your
your BP is of course
that's how they've done it for years
why do they do this?
you can do it at home without a stethoscope
why do they do it in the hospital 50 times a day?
like this
oh because it's easier
I just met a doctor.
Because then the nurse doesn't have to stand
there and do it.
It takes forever. Check this shit out.
It's so fast, except if you break
it right before you try to use it.
That's the thing.
Hurry, plug it in.
Can we guess
what number you're going to guess?
I'm going to say 148 over 90.
Oh, boy.
Whoa.
Okay.
Well, we're getting to them.
Do I want to go higher or lower than that?
This is my challenge here.
Do you have the number, Doug?
Huh?
Do you have the number?
Are we still calculating?
Oh, yeah, it's still doing the thing.
Yeah.
It's real tight around my arm right now.
Deciding my fate.
But that's the interesting thing about blood pressure is, like,
you take it a couple minutes later and you're going to get probably a different number.
And sometimes it varies wildly, you know.
Tough game.
Tough game.
Yeah, one time my weed doctor, I had high blood pressure because I had coffee
right before I went in,
and he made me talk to him for 20 minutes and then took my blood pressure again
and then gave me a prescription for weed, and that made me feel like it was really legit.
Yeah, see, it's super up there according to this, but I'll take it again in a few minutes so people don't panic,
but it's 178 over 130.
You have to lay it down if that number's accurate.
No, that's the idea.
Sam, I have extremely high blood pressure.
I was just in the hospital for a few days,
and they took my blood pressure every hour.
And it was that high?
Yeah.
Dude.
Yeah, but it comes down.
That's the thing.
There's no reason to panic.
All right.
It'll come down in a few minutes,
but if it doesn't,
I know exactly where the hospital is.
Okay, good.
Yeah, so we're going to be good.
I think it's a very exciting game.
Right? Yeah. I should just do this every time. Stakes have never felt higher.
I'm worried about your diet.
You did all the stakes where you're like, I could have
to go to the hospital. Yeah.
If you keep fucking this up. Unless you can get this movie
in 10 names. I got it.
But yeah, so I'm...
Sorry I said two and almost killed you.
You really,
yeah,
really,
you really upset me.
I mean,
what a great,
that's,
you know,
that's going to be
right on the top
of your Twitter bio.
What was the cause of death?
Killed Doug Benson
with my,
Billy Wayne Davis
thought he could get it in two.
My bad strategy,
bad game strategy.
All right,
so which one did we decide
we're going to do?
He's going to do 10.
Okay.
Give him all the names.
Because Sam doesn't know.
I feel like if he did, he wouldn't act like he did.
I feel like he'd be like, one.
He would know it if he heard some of these names.
And we'll find that out in a minute.
Where did it go?
What was the category called?
Great Scott and Scott.
Oh, there it is.
Here's your ten names.
Adam Charles Barrett.
Britt Robinson.
Jack Rayner.
David Patton.
Bobby Moynihan, Simon Delaney, Andres Blumenfeld, Colby Smulders, Chris Pratt, and Vince Vaughn in the leading role the film is called
Billy?
Man, I don't fucking know.
Can you think of a
Vince Vaughn movie?
Go from that angle.
After he stopped trying to,
when he stopped being funny,
I stopped caring.
That's right when this movie came out.
I know.
That's why I'm like,
I know when it is.
I don't know what it's called
because I was like,
I remember seeing it
and being like,
I don't care.
He's been in and out of funny.
He started off funny in Swingers
and then he made tons of dramas
before he went back to comedy
with Old School.
Yeah. I mean, he was the bad guy on Rudy.
One of the bad guys.
He and Johnny Favs.
I
I don't know.
It was a really good try, though.
Sam, what's it called?
It's called The Delivery Man.
But I would have needed Vince Vaughn's name to get that.
Right, I know.
It is a tough one.
I saw that movie.
See, I'm already down to 160 over 121.
Oh, good.
I've already changed that much.
You're systolic.
Just the soothing voice of Billy Wayne Davis not knowing the answer really comforted me.
But I'll do it again one more time later because I'm still on the high side.
Don't point at people and judge them for not knowing the delivery. I'll do it again one more time later because they're still on the high side.
Don't point at people and judge them for not knowing Delivery Man.
You know, that's that movie where the guy went to the sperm bank a bunch of times because they paid him and then all the kids decided to get together and be mad at him.
Every single sperm took is the premise of that movie, right?
You guys got potent
seed. Yes.
I mean, that's possible though,
right? Wasn't it based on like a true thing?
Well, there are a couple things like that
but they're usually very upsetting.
No, what it is is usually
because I just did a podcast about this,
it happens more than you think because
doctors, the fertility
doctors do it because there's a better percentage because it's fresh sperm.
Because frozen sperm is lower.
Exactly.
And then they make more money.
It doesn't taste as good either.
It doesn't.
It doesn't.
It doesn't wiggle.
They keep microwaving all that frozen sperm.
It just doesn't wiggle in your mouth.
It loses a certain consistency.
This is a fun podcast.
Mouth feel.
But it happens way more than everyone thought
because these doctors never thought DNA would happen.
And then I just imagine one day they're walking through CVS
and saw one of the DNA kits.
They're like, oh, shit.
This is not good for me and my army.
Alright, Griffin is up first
on this next round and it goes to Sam
again so
you're already in the fire.
Sam has two points but we're playing to three.
Because that's the kind of time
we have. Gotta go back or go home.
I mean I'm gonna go home either way
but I gotta go big.
This is a sequel to a category that I did
that's earlier in this.
It might come back later,
but the category is called
You Don't Have to Know the Answer,
But It Would Be Cool If You Did.
And that's the films of Matthew McConaughey.
And then, oh shit. but it would be cool if you did. And that's the films of Matthew McConaughey.
And then, oh shit.
Running out of ammo. Okay.
It's always someone from Philadelphia.
It's movies featuring someone from the cast of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It's movies featuring someone from the cast of
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
Principal cast?
I thought it was going to be the film Philadelphia.
Yeah, I was like, man, that's dark as hell.
And then Colors,
Colors, Colors.
And that is movies with a
color in the title.
Wow. Yes, you got Colors,
McConaughey, or whatever that other one was okay
the uh people from always sunny colors mcconaughey always sunny um and we're talking the main gang
in terms of always something we're not we're not talking about like rickety crickets? No follow-up questions at this time.
Oh boy, okay.
I am going to go with...
Be a lot cooler if you did.
Yeah!
Films of McConaughey.
All right.
That's an impression.
That is, I can do that one
because it's the same as Mike Judge
from the same fucking area.
Can you fall backwards into a pool in a nice suit?
I would love to do that.
That's another thing McConaughey does.
You can do that.
I just...
I saw the commercial a lot while I was in the hospital.
I like to breathe with my mouth open.
He looks around a little bit like,
I'm about to do the craziest thing.
And then he just falls backwards into the pool in his clothes.
They don't even see him get out.
Because that's the embarrassing part
when you walk out like a wet dog.
You can't shake it off like a dog can.
You stand there all wet.
He's like, do you have a towel?
I want to have a party with you,
but I want you to show up in a wet suit.
That just looks like he's really nervous.
He's not even invited.
What's happening?
Matthew McConaughey
category? Yeah. Griffin.
Okay.
We went to a fun place.
I had a great time. Yeah.
I felt like I was at that party.
You made it come alive for me.
Thank you. We're going deeper in at that party. You made it come alive for me. Thank you.
We're going deeper in the years.
This is the year 2006.
Okay.
Two and a half stars from Leonard for a movie that is pleasant enough.
That's your clue.
That's the one clue.
Mm-hmm.
From 2006.
Pretty much what I say about most McConaughey movies.
Uh-huh.
Pleasant enough. Mm-hmm. Oh 2006. How many names? That's pretty much what I say about most McConaughey movies. Uh-huh. Pleasant enough.
Mm-hmm.
Oh, he also says it's a comedy.
I'll give you that.
Okay.
How many names do you think you can get in Griffin Newman?
Go big or go home?
I'm going negative two names.
Negative two names.
Whoa.
I think I know what it is, and if I'm wrong.
It's finally happening.
I go out with glory.
We're finally bringing some excitement out of this.
Sam, you went negative two.
On the edge of their seats.
Do you think you can go deeper, or do you want to go ahead and let him get a point,
and then we'll have to continue playing?
Or I could do what so, so, so many other contestants in this game have done to me
after I make a perfect bid.
But that's a
shitty thing to do, isn't it?
What is it? Oh, I could say negative four
knowing I can't get it, and then
Billy gets the point, and Griffin on his perfect bid
can just go, yeah!
You could do that.
I could, but let me think about this.
Let me see if I can go negative three, in fact.
Ugh.
Would you like someone to carve a sculpture of you in that position?
I really, truly would.
He looks like the thinker right now.
Yeah.
He's in a very pensive... What are you thinking?
Sucks, because I also think I know what movie it is and would go negative two on it.
I want you guys to fight to the death.
See, I feel like I got four other people in this movie,
and I couldn't think of what the order would be
for the next four.
Yeah.
If it is, in fact.
If it is that same movie.
I am going to say negative three.
Oh, shit!
And I'm not throwing it away.
I really think I have a decent amount of time. You got a handle on this? Yeah. So, Billy, all you got to do to say negative three. Oh, shit. And I'm not throwing it away. I really think I have a decent deal.
You got a handle on this?
Yeah.
So, Billy, all you got to do to say to Sam is name that movie,
and Sam is going to have to name the film,
and then the top three billed people in the same order that they're listed by,
Leonard, and then transcribed into this book by a complete stranger.
A guy.
I kind of know him, he comes to shows,
but a guy just gave this to me, and I
come up with the category names, but he
gives me everything else.
I think I can name it in negative.
I'm just kidding. Just to make you guys
like, I won't kill it.
Sam, name it.
Is the movie Failure
to Launch, starring
Matthew McConaughey,
Sarah Jessica Parker,
and Terry Bradshaw.
Wow, that was impressive.
First of all, round of applause for that guess.
But unfortunately, it goes Matthew McConaughey,
Sarah Jessica Parker,
Soie Deschanel.
Soie Deschanel. That new girl got in your way there Sam yes but you
made a nice stab at it and I appreciate you making it exciting I tried and yeah
and that means Billy Wayne is on the board with one point Newman what's going
on I don't know hi well it's to be between you and Billy now because you get to go first again
and then it goes to Billy.
I got to scale up.
So I could win
if you guys keep fucking up.
Yep.
That is a good strategy.
Thank you.
That's why I was telling you earlier
that don't ever think
you're out of this thing
just because you don't know anything.
It's been most of my life.
Griffin, category's called X-Ray,
and that's movies with X in the title
or a song by Ray Charles on the soundtrack.
Not sure if there's any that are both.
Or would you like Lando or Sea?
And that's movies that take place at sea
or have Billy Dee Williams in them.
And the third one is...
Oh, find another one.
Oh, shit.
We're back to It's Always Sunny.
It's Always Someone from Philadelphia.
So that category that we discussed earlier.
And you passed on it then.
I'm going to take it now.
You're taking it now?
It feels like fate.
Okay.
That we meet again.
I like your attitude.
And, oh, shit, the thing went off.
I don't know what my blood pressure was.
You really got gotta look at the
results okay
so Leonard says about this movie
it's from
2011
he gives it two and a half stars
he says
it has some solid
laughs
and says it has some solid laughs and a kind of raunchiness we've come to expect.
There's more to that thought, but I'll leave it at that.
We've come to expect it.
Yeah.
And he lists 16 names.
Wow.
Big cast.
Yeah.
2011. Two and a half stars. We expected Big cast. Yeah. 2011.
Two and a half stars.
We expected the wrong two names.
It didn't catch us by surprise.
We knew it was going to be there.
15 names.
I'm going to say...
Oh, shit.
It's 6 o'clock.
We're out of time.
Are we really?
Thank you, everybody, for coming.
No, we don't have to wrap it up that quick.clock, we're out of time. Are we really? Thank you everybody for coming. No, we don't have to wrap it up that quick.
But we are strangely out of time for a show where I felt like I was stretching.
I really want this game to continue so that we can make it to 6.
And now we're here.
I feel like I'm gonna do the same move.
I mean, once again, gotta go all out. I'm gonna go negative two names. It says negative two. I'm going to do the same move. I mean, once again, like, got to go all out.
I'm going to go negative two names.
It says negative two, Billy.
I'm going to do negative two names.
I think you're in good shape.
Okay.
Yeah.
Me?
Yeah, Billy.
Name it.
Okay.
Yeah.
Good call.
Because we got a six.
So he's got a name in the movie and the top two billed individuals.
Good luck.
I believe, I hope, I pray that the movie is entitled Going the Distance and it stars Drew Barrymore and Justin Long.
That is incorrect.
Oh, you idiot.
Who from Always Sunny is in that?
Charlie Day.
Oh, okay.
It's the best friend.
Same case here.
It's the top two bill to be Jason Bateman and Charlie Day.
Horrible bosses.
Horrible bosses.
As Sam already figured out.
Yes, that means that Billy has two points, Sam has two points,
and we've got to do a tiebreaker.
Wow.
Oh, no, actually, let's just just you guys okay for a few more minutes?
Is Flapper's okay?
Okay, I'm gonna go. We're going long.
We're going
live. Stop the hammering.
Colors, colors, colors.
Oh, who do I
Sam was out of that skirmish, so
he gets to start us off and then he goes right
at Billy. Colors,
colors, colors.
So this could end right here, Griffin.
I'm sorry to say.
I mean, I'm going to see whatever mind games I can play to extend it.
It's movies with a color in the title.
Getting Some Tail.
That's movies based on fairy tales.
Okay.
And Cable Billing.
And that's movies
featuring Josh Brolin
huh let's go
colors
we all love is Cable
and Deadpool 2
movies with a color and a title
Leonard gives this movie
three and a half stars
it is from 2013
every movie
we had a
2006 and a 2011,
so out of three or four movies, it has
been every movie.
I've got to check my blood pressure again.
He calls this movie fascinating.
Okay, Leonard.
And he says
that it has flashbacks he says they're telling
flashbacks suppose those flashbacks that are not there for any reason and he
lists 11 names how many can you get in Sam the man?
Ten names.
Okay, interesting bid by an interesting bidder.
Billy?
Name it.
Keep it in sporting.
I appreciate it, Billy.
That's the only move I have.
You're going to get this.
Yeah.
We'll see.
We're going to have to get you and Griffin in a room to settle this.
I feel so.
I've never felt more shame in my entire life.
You know how Sam often feels in this game.
I do.
No, I do.
The timing is you get shut out. I know. I know. I just know. I do. No, I do. The timing is you get shut out.
I know.
I know.
I'll just know more about movies.
That is also true.
That is also true.
It's irrefutable now.
Yeah.
Yeah, the game doesn't.
I just tried to do my blood pressure test again, and it says error.
Oh, no.
You have no blood pressure.
That's how bad it is.
Oh, dog.
It's like, fuck it. That's how bad it is. Oh, dog. It's like, fuck it.
It's just like, brr.
Oh, yes.
It might mean that.
It might not mean error.
You've got bear blood.
Earned run average.
Sam?
Mm-hmm.
Ten names?
Yep.
Raise your hand when you know it.
Okay.
I'm going to guess it's going to be by name number six.
Be honest.
All right.
Aiden Aaron, the guy who played Han Solo.
Alden Aaron.
How do you say it? Alden Aaron Rick.
Aaron Rick.
Max Casella.
Tammy Blanchard.
Michael Stuhlbarg Peter Sarsgaard Louis CK
that's where I thought you'd get it by that point you know that frequent movie
actor Louis CK yeah Andrew Dice Clay.
One of our finest. Bobby Cannavale.
Sally Hawkins.
And Alec Baldwin.
And the movie is Blue Jasmine.
Yeah, what did you think of it?
Right, Alec Baldwin?
Sorry, no, Dice Clay. Yeah, that's what I meant.
You got a seven, I got a six.
I'm very tired. Yeah, I gotta test my blood pressure.
Alright, so that means that Sam is our winner today!
Three point victory!
I feel so empty.
Yeah, who are we delivering the prizes to, Sam?
Oh, Steve Z Sam!
Also a fellow Sam!
Steve, do you mind running up on stage and grabbing your prize bag?
Or Sam, help him out, but be very careful with it because the bottom
has got a hole and
it's heavy stuff so it's just going to all
fall out everywhere.
And congratulations dude.
That's what happens
when you Photoshop
Sam onto a movie poster
for a film he wasn't in. Damn right.
Yeah, you win stuff.
What do you got to plug Sam? Oh, well of course DC Daily, you can see it five days a week. It's in. Damn right. You win stuff. What do you got to plug, Sam? Oh, well, of course
DC Daily, you can see it five days a week.
It's in front of the paywall on DC Universe
and Wizard World
Comic Con. I'll be in
Columbus, Ohio this upcoming
weekend and then Madison, Wisconsin
the following weekend and then Austin,
Texas the second weekend of November.
Come see me. Say hello.
Whoa.
Going some cool places.
Billy Wayne Davis, what's coming up for you, dude?
I will be in Eugene,
Oregon, in Salem, Oregon,
I guess this coming up weekend, and
the Adult Swim Festival
in LA in November.
Oh, that's fun. That is going to be fun.
What do you do on Adult Swim?
I'm hosting the Squidbillies show. Really? Yeah, Billy Joe Sha That is going to be fun. What do you do on Adult Swim? I'm hosting the Squidbillies show.
Really?
Yeah, Billy Joe Shaver's going to play,
and then Dana Snyder's going to do some puppet stuff.
Okay, that sounds bad.
No, he's the voice of Grandma.
Hey, let's do some puppet stuff.
It's really, it's like dirty puppets.
Oh, okay.
So I was kind of right.
Yeah, I guess so.
I mean, puppets just start off dirty because they've got a hand up
their ass. Yeah.
Just from jump, it's already
sexual to me.
I don't even know if I'm supposed to say that.
Don't worry about it.
You're good. You guys will be there.
Griffin Newman.
I will be retreating to Nicaragua
to question my life decisions
leading up to this
processing my shame of
getting zero points on the board
you would have had one but I shot for the moon
that is true
I do a podcast called Blank Check with Griffin
and David which of course Alec
who I've always supported and always
trusted is a Patreon subscriber, too.
We pick a director who has had massive success,
Blank Check status at some point in their career,
and we go through all their movies one at a time.
So we're finishing up Miyazaki
and going into Jonathan Demme imminently.
And the tick is very cancelled, but it's very
visible on Amazon until
Jeff Bezos decides it's not.
So please watch it.
You shouldn't have said his name.
I shouldn't have said his name.
Is that what happens if you say his name?
He's always listening either way, though, and he picks up when you infer it.
He's got ears everywhere.
I'm on a show called
Our Cartoon President on
Showtime, which is an animated series about
the Trump family, a family
that we don't hear enough about.
And I play
Jared Kushner because I am typecast
as a scared, spineless
Jewish man.
What's up, bro?
That's the wheelhouse, baby.
Good looking out, man.
Yep.
Are you up for that one, Sam?
Oh, I'm up for everything.
Griffin and I are always up for the same parts.
Because there's only, evidently, there's only three shorter, nerdish-looking Jewish guys
in Hollywood.
That's what was so frustrating about seeing Joel David Moore in that room.
I was like, you open this up to tallies?
Yeah.
Joel David Moore in that room.
I was like, you open this up to tallies?
Yeah.
I assume if I'm in this room,
it's a clear 5'7 ceiling on this room.
You've already bought the wardrobe,
and you couldn't go with a stretch.
Anyway, yeah.
Sam and I will be competing for the rest of our lives.
Who's that third one that you mentioned?
The third guy like you guys.
Oh, I don't know.
Shia LaBeouf, maybe?
Yeah.
All right.
That guy gets everything.
That's not true.
That's not true.
It used to be.
You didn't have somebody in mind when you said that?
No, I was just, I didn't want to make it just the two of us.
There's got to be a third guy.
Yeah.
Danny Strong.
Okay.
There you go.
Yeah. I was up for creating Empire you know I
came down to me and Hammond yeah Moonlight says writing and directing the
things I don't know if he's auditioning much but you know he's good I like it
that's great you think he can do you have his number yeah can you get him on
on here sure he directed game change on HBO yeah oh no I don't think he directed
he wrote it wrote it yeah he wrote Game Change and Recap.
He won awards for writing it.
He did.
He lives in Durham.
Oh, it was directed by...
Jay Rose.
...Susanna Hoff's husband.
Yes.
That's what I call him.
Oh, nice.
Mr. Hoffs.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, he likes it.
He's very progressive that way.
Yeah.
Nice.
Let's see.
What else did I want to say?
