Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey everybody, Producer Ryan here. The audio on this episode's a little blown out at the top, but it gets better about seven minutes in, so stick with it and enjoy the show. Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby sticky seeds with 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see,
Starting point is 00:00:19 but Doug loves movies Hey, hey, hey everybody My name is Doug and I love movies This is I Love Movies! Wow! All the ships have arrived. We're coming to you for the first time ever from Laugh Boston. I'm nestled in the lobby of a beautiful hotel in a beautiful area that sprung up out of concrete and steel. And I'm glad you guys are here because it really is Tall Ships Day today. And that's what everybody uses as an excuse for why it's hard to get around on land. It's Tall Ships Day. Yeah, they're out of the water, all those ships. What does that have to do with this traffic? I don't know why they don't just go, it's Boston, that's why
Starting point is 00:01:39 there's traffic, right? It's Saturday, June 17th, 2017. Thank you for verifying that. No, shut the fuck up. Boston never lets me down when it comes to name tags. How'd you guys do today? I saw you now up front. Oh lord, that Alien vs. Predator vs. Justin.
Starting point is 00:02:14 So stand up and show everybody that one, that's pretty good. Into what Jones? Into Bama Jones. Into Bama Jones. Your name's In Deb-ama Jones. In Deb-ama Jones. Your name's not Deb-ama, though. It's Deb-ian. Deb-ian. Holy shit.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Should really think before I start. I've seen Pat on a hot tin roof before, right? Yep. All right, cool. Transporter 2, Judgment J. That was a real easy switch. You just dark out a lot of the D. I like it.
Starting point is 00:02:54 The Mark of Zorro, that's me and you? Amy Adams. That's me and Amy Adams, good one. Put that the fuck down. it was good work. Put that the fuck down. You guys love it too much when I'm meeting the people in the audience.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Yeah, you shouldn't enjoy it so much. Douglas Benson, Fallon Down? Your last name is Fallon? It is. Just like Jimmy? Yes. Have you ever met him? No.
Starting point is 00:03:23 I bet you he'd be nice to you. You guys have the same last name. Anyway, lots of great name tags. Good job, everybody. Thank you for doing that. Thank you to Laugh Boston for not wondering why people are doing that. Did anybody bring any donuts in? Alright, settle down.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Settle down. Because I got bad news for you guys. It feels like a conspiracy against Douglas Movies, but I assure you it is not. The comedy club here has a sign backstage that says you can't throw anything from the stage.
Starting point is 00:04:02 Yeah. Yeah. Did someone just suggest that I just have to walk off the stage? All right I'll keep that in mind. There's always a goddamn loophole. But there was another rule that something else we're not supposed to do. Oh, we're not allowed to bring anyone from the audience up on stage, but that wasn't going to happen today anyway.
Starting point is 00:04:33 It's still interesting to keep these rules in mind. Doug plugs. Doug Loves Movies is back here tomorrow at 4.20, different guests, unless my guests today refuse to leave. But that one's going to fuck up the shows that are here later tonight. Monday night, June 19th
Starting point is 00:04:52 I'm doing stand-up at the Comedy Connection in Providence, Rhode Island. Next weekend, Douglas Rooney returns for two shows to Helium in Philly. It, of course, will be a gas and is a gas. Monday, June 26th 26 we're back at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City and that'll be a gas too actually and
Starting point is 00:05:16 when I write these things down I try to make the plugs fun and funny but then once I'm reading them I just try to get the fuck over with. But who's coming back tomorrow? Do we have any two dinners? Good for you. Those of you that are not coming back, what's the reason? I mean, I'll accept any reason. Work, yeah, that's a good one. But dad, though, really? You can't... Just in case the listeners didn't hear that, and I guess half the crowd didn't hear it,
Starting point is 00:05:53 she yelled out the reason she's not coming to Mars is because of tall ships. Wasn't that fun? Was that your first professional laugh? You got two of them, the first time in the repeat. You might be good at this. You just sitting there alone over there? Okay. Oh shit no you're not alone. I will not say any more to the girlfriend of the eyes. Oh shit. God damn it. The eyes. I wanted to say a house by the way. The hills have eyes, that's it. Stupid, big, bald guy joke.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Alright. I don't know how big you are. I know how bald you are, but I can't... From this far away, I can't tell how big you are. For all my dates and deets, go to DougLovesMovies.com That's DougLovesMovies.com. That's DougLovesMovies.com! Yeah!
Starting point is 00:06:50 Oh, no. I hope the listeners didn't hear that. Although that may be a fun twist to start getting the entire audience to yell, yeah, at the end of it. Suddenly everyone's so much more enthusiastic for Douglovesmovies.com Yeah!
Starting point is 00:07:10 TJ Miller, yeah! Alright, I brought a prize bag. You can see it's a lovely one. It is a hotel laundry bag. Yeah, it might even have some laundry smell in it. But it's also got...
Starting point is 00:07:28 Did I stay here at the Westin? Yeah. No. Yeah, so the stalking is on. Good luck. Because I really covered my tracks. Here's what's in the prize bag today. Of course, actually I'm on a run of a lot of shows right now over the next couple weeks.
Starting point is 00:07:57 And this is currently the last Doug Loves Movies shirt that I have in my possession. I'm going to get more, but I don't know why I'm telling you guys this. Oh, I got such a special shirt. No one else is getting a shirt for maybe a week or two. I've got a koozie that says Brooklyn Summer Ale on it.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Okay, one person is a fan of Brooklyn Summer Ale. Which of those three words were you wooing, or just the whole brand? The whole brand. You like that beer? Sure. Oh, no, okay.
Starting point is 00:08:34 Now she's backpedaling. How do you feel about D. Lush's cookies? Because there's a good, totally broken up one in the bag. It didn't do well in my checked baggage. Also, from, have you guys tried Nature Box? I think I did an ad for them. And they sent me a bunch of stuff including sweet and simple berry
Starting point is 00:08:54 nut mix. And that sounded like something I wouldn't like, so you guys... But I think some people would, right? Sounds alright. We got a copy of my CD. Oh, this is exciting. I was out at the Provincetown Film Festival. International Film Festival.
Starting point is 00:09:11 Yeah. PIF. Which is pretty appropriate, I think. And they gave me a bag full of stuff, you know, for going to the festival. I think Laugh Boston has a ghost. What was this hotel built over? Indian Burial Ground? If you're in Provincetown ever,
Starting point is 00:09:45 you might go out there, right? You might take the ferry like I did. You can get $1 off a Rollwich or a salad at Box Lunch of Provincetown. 3-5-5 Commercial Street. Not to be confused with Boston's Commercial Street, or is that just a really
Starting point is 00:10:10 long street? That'd be crazy. Oh, and a little piece of pipe, a little peacemaker pipe with the spirit of Christmas for you. Plus, all the stuff brought by my guests, please give a big warm welcome
Starting point is 00:10:25 to them as I bring them to the stage right now. Hopefully they're somewhere near the stage. I don't see them anywhere over there, but maybe they're just waiting to hear their names before they start heading out. Please give a big warm welcome to
Starting point is 00:10:42 Josh Brown. Ken, settle down. I thought, so you guys are all Josh Brown fans over there? You're like in the worst seats to see Josh Brown. At least you know what he looks like. But yeah, I've never had people get that hot on the first of three names.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I couldn't even get out the other names. It's Ken Reed and Sam Levine! Wow! Oh boy, good to see you guys. Thank you. This chair is, not that I don't want to be this close to you, but it's unusually close. Can I move closer?
Starting point is 00:12:00 Yeah, I might just... Come on over. Yeah, get over there. Do you want me to move this way? Yeah. Can you sit with them? Oh, no, wait. I moved at the beginning because there's a couple of pillars in the audience.
Starting point is 00:12:15 I wanted to make sure everyone could see me. That's why we're a little tight here in the middle. It'll be fine. You'll be okay. Let's meet them individually, starting with the fan club guy. Hello!
Starting point is 00:12:31 The person with the most people here to see him specifically. It's Josh Brown, everybody! Finally here. Finally here with my own accord at this point. Finally here just as a legit guest with not a very hot mic. Hello?
Starting point is 00:12:51 Hello, let's get him some... I don't think of your own accord as the correct phrase. Because that implies you were against your will here. Yeah, you were under duress the last few times you were here. Well, I either was or I wasn't. It's pretty fascinating
Starting point is 00:13:04 how you got a microphone that doesn't work. Yeah. Well, the people have heard of them before. Is there an on-off switch on that one? You gotta rub it. Rub it. That'll warm it up.
Starting point is 00:13:16 It's on, it's just the volume. How do you like him now? Now that he's stroking his microphone off. He doesn't know. He doesn't do this. But maybe we can fly in. I think there's a cordless around if that one doesn't come to life.
Starting point is 00:13:32 But say something else. Hello? Anybody? No. Here, borrow somebody else's for a second so I can chat with you about. It might be his voice. About being here. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:13:42 I want to check and see. Microphones do not like my voice. Is this one working all right. That's working alright. Yeah, but you do need to speak up in general. Just in general? Yeah, like right now you're still sounding like you're not on a hot mic. Sorry. Now better? Yeah. Alright.
Starting point is 00:13:58 Good. I'll keep it a lot closer. That was just Doug's Mr. Miyagi. You've like taught him a life lesson here. Speak up. Speak up. Speak up in general. It is a life lesson. How are things at Metropolitan Pipe? Everything's great.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Everything's great. Happy to, you know, be here. I got some more stuff to give away, so. Oh, we'll get to that. Oh, I can't wait. Yeah. But for now, you're going to be silenced again. That's alright. Yeah. Sam?
Starting point is 00:14:31 I'm silencing you apparently. Wait, so it's Met Pipe that you? Met Pipe, yeah. Met Pipe. Wow. Does it work now? Is it working now? I think so. Do I have to put it in my mouth? Can you? Oh think so. Do I have to put it in my mouth?
Starting point is 00:14:45 Can you? Oh. Yeah, sometimes you got to really get on top of it. And that's why I always bring some wipes before using a microphone. I wipe it down. Yeah. I should have wiped this down. And then when I'm done. I've been here before.
Starting point is 00:15:00 You should have. When I'm done at the end, I lick it and I walk away. Again, life lesson. You know,. When I'm done at the end, when I'm done at the end, I lick it and I walk away. All right. Again, life lesson. You know, I'll give him out all day long. I don't give a shit. Ken Reed is here, everybody. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:15:17 That is unexpected. Boston comedy phenom. Thank you. Regular guest on this show. Oh, we swapped out the mics anyway for Josh? Yeah, we got a new one now. Oh, nice. Okay.
Starting point is 00:15:28 I feel better about that. He's spiraling so he can go into the crowd. Well, as long as they don't go into him. What? That's right. Ken is the Boston Comedy Phenom and host of TV Guidance Counselor podcast, which I appeared on the last time I came through town.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Yes, thank you. You're welcome. Thank you for doing this. Very popular podcast. I love a hometown crowd. Oh boy. I have trouble saying quid pro quo. Yes. But I just did. So... Future in politics.
Starting point is 00:16:10 I have a future in bashing myself in the face with a microphone. I even have a mic stand. It's terrible. All right, you guys. I know you're excited to applaud for him one more time because Sam the Ma'am Levine. Come on, Boston. Thank you. You're very kind to me.
Starting point is 00:16:32 This is much too sweet. I feel like, Doug, I feel like somebody told this crowd that the last time I was at Fenway someone threw a battery at me. And they all feel so bad. They were like, don't. That's not Boston. That's just some drunk guy.
Starting point is 00:16:51 We'll be nice. So thank you. That's very sweet of you. Team Sam. Now, I didn't say Lil' Wolverine. You didn't? Because I want to run something by you. All right.
Starting point is 00:17:04 What do you got? Can I start calling you Lil' Logan? I've got something by you. All right, Tuck. What do you got? Can I start calling you Lil' Logan? She's not Lil' Wolverine. She's Lil' whatever she is. What's her name? Laura. Sure.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Look, you can call me whatever you'd like, but I feel like the Lil' Wolverine moniker is kind of stuck. What about Weekend Wolverine? Oh, yes, you know I'm not afraid to add another A-K-A. That's true. That's true. Doug, you know what's... I'll say all of your aliases every time. You've given me many nicknames,
Starting point is 00:17:45 so I leave it up to you, sir. Oh, thank you very much. Thank you very much, little Logan. There it is. Did you see the Logan picture? Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you meant the airport, because we're in Boston.
Starting point is 00:17:56 I did. You look just like it. Just like it. There's a lot of ladies here who'd like to sit on your tarmac. That's right. Oh, the food court in Terminal 3 is delicious.
Starting point is 00:18:11 I did see Logan, finally. How'd that work out for you? It was great, man. It's probably my favorite movie that Wolverine is in because it is a hard R. Yeah, they go for it. That is a Marvel movie for adults. Yeah, they go for it. That is a Marvel movie for adults.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Yeah, Deadpool taught them well. But I think it was kind of already in the works before Deadpool, but it certainly helped them to, it emboldened them. Yes, it did. To be that violent and that dirty. This might be a scoop, but everyone might know this already, but they're filming the New Mutants movie in Boston. What?
Starting point is 00:18:43 What? Mutants? Yeah, what's it, do you know what it's called? It're filming the New Mutants movie in Boston. What? What? Mutants? Yeah, what's it, do you know what it's called? It's called the New Mutants. I'm not even kidding, like that's the comic called the New Mutants. Oh. It's an X-Men spin-off. The New Mutants movie. Not the New Mutants movie. Well, also that, but.
Starting point is 00:19:00 No, they're filming it here. Oh, okay. I'm sorry that it's gone this far without me asking you guys if you want anything to drink. I've got a cocktail. Would you like anything? I'm good.
Starting point is 00:19:10 All right, here. I'll take a Bud Light if anything. Okay, Josh is going crazy with a Bud Light if you don't mind. I don't want to go too hard. Dear Laugh Boston, please bring Josh your finest beer. The Bud Light.
Starting point is 00:19:21 The Bud Light. How would you like that? Would you like that in a champagne flute? with a slice of lime? no we'd have to come with a slice of lime if I could just get a Bud Light Lime I'd be happy they make that?
Starting point is 00:19:37 it's like a very summer beer oh is that the Limerita? like people who drink Bud Light care that it's summer sorry a limerita? Like people who bring Bud Light care that it's summer. Sorry. I need a light beer for summer. The sun weighs me down. We only get two months
Starting point is 00:19:56 of it so we take whatever we need. And they're not even consecutive. No, they're not. Yeah, it's real spotty. You got a spotty summer. Like today was foggy as shit for the ship sales.
Starting point is 00:20:08 Because of the stupid tall ships. They bring the fog with them. Look at that. That service. Presented to you like a sword. Yeah, that was really... For the listener at home, they wheeled a rock out on stage
Starting point is 00:20:22 with a Bud Light stuck in it. And he actually removed it from the stone. Bud Light does not deserve this. And now he's the king of beers. I'm ashamed of that one. Ashamed of that one. Boston phenom, Ken Reed.
Starting point is 00:20:45 You guys thought I was joking around, but I meant it. Now, there's a question I like to ask all of my guests. There's several questions, but let's start with, because Josh was anxious to get into it. What do you got for the prize bag, fellas? Who wants to go first, Josh? Oh, well, you said my name first, so I'll go for it. So I try and bring relatively different
Starting point is 00:21:06 things each time, mostly about Met Pipe. So we had a golf tournament this year, so I've got Met Pipe hats. We have a golf logo, so these are nice. Two of the same hats, so a couple can walk out of here proud? Yeah, yeah. A couple of pipe fitters. Yeah, exactly.
Starting point is 00:21:22 I was planning on throwing one out, but I was told I'm not allowed to do that. Like in the garbage? No, no, no. Like out into the crowd. You saw the sign. And it opened up my eyes. I saw the sign.
Starting point is 00:21:41 If we can get an All That She Wants reference into this show, we're going to be the number one Ace of Base podcast in the world. she wants reference into this show. We're going to be the number one Asa-based podcast in the world. They were like an ABBA for the 90s. I've also got a tape measure from Metropolitan Pipe. How many feet, bro?
Starting point is 00:22:02 I can't do the whole thing now. I'm going to say 26. Hey, Ken, are you trying to tell me that you've never heard of DLMM? Doug loves... Doug loves Mamma Mia? Oh, no, yeah. But I don't do the Patreon,
Starting point is 00:22:16 so I can't listen to the episodes. It really is only for my special fans. Yeah. I've got some more. I've got some more. I've got some koozies that are nice. You can put that on a Bud Light. I could put that on a Bud Light. Show us how it works.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Demonstrate. Demonstrate the koozie. Koozie in action. There you go. That's nice. Like a glove. Hey, this is a family placement. We no longer have a koozie to give away, so that's fine. No, now it's stage worn, and it's worth more. I'll sign it if we have to.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Let's see. Koozie's what we call them these days, but it's just an old-fashioned fleshlight. Thank you. I want you to hold the beer. I appreciate that. All right. I'm touching your koozie. I've also got some t-shirts that are just regular t-shirts.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Don't bring a koozie around Donald Trump. He will fucking grab the shit out of it Who needs a beer? I want to keep this cold Donald Trump's penis is definitely lower than body temperature Like if you did a Terminator I mean a Predator heat map on that man It would just be an ice cold spot Right in his crotch.
Starting point is 00:23:28 Just a theory. And so I've got one last one here that it's sponsored by one of my vendors. There's a company called Kohler. You've probably seen their commercials. I've peed in their toilets. Yeah, you've pissed on them before. This is a box of chocolates that has each finish of their faucets
Starting point is 00:23:49 as the chocolate. No idea why they made it. So if you want a brushed nickel piece of chocolate, please eat away. Just some advice for Kohler. If you make toilets, don't produce chocolates. Like, that is just basic marketing. That's all I got.
Starting point is 00:24:09 That's all. Sorry. You moved so far away, I couldn't get you. Wow. Exciting, right? Thank you, Josh. Is it in a Shaw's bag?
Starting point is 00:24:19 Of course it is. Oh, they got Polar seltzer on sale right now. Four for five bucks. You're for five bucks I like Shaw's little tagline You're in for something fresh Well they flirt with you when you check out Do you like to have fresh things in you? Yeah
Starting point is 00:24:38 Bend over for some fresh When you walk out, they just slap you. Yell something about being a taste maca. All right. Ken, what do you got? Because it's another bag full of garbage. The bag full of garbage. I have Blade Runner on beta.
Starting point is 00:25:06 Not a bit. It is Blade Runner on beta. I have a framed photo of Emanuel Lewis fishing on a boat. You can put it back into the same bag. I have a collection of 80s titty movies including Wild Malibu Weekend and Seduction of a Nerd with music by Quincy Jones. I have a Region 2 DVD copy of Thief that you can't play unless you have a special DVD player.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Michael Mann's finest. Yep. I have a TV guide from this week in June from 1999 with Sable on the cover. Here you are. I have a set of lobby cards from The 40-Year-Old Virgin. I have a set of Spanish lobby cards from David Cronenberg's Crash in Spanish. That's the only crash I'll recognize. Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:02 I got a Ken Reed TV Guidance Counselor work shirt and a CD of my comedy and a pin. And then my favorite thing that I brought that will probably not be... Oh, thank you, sir. Everybody's favorite is I brought an inflatable version of an international movie star. Here he is.
Starting point is 00:26:24 This is an inflatable Ronald Reagan, everybody. It's an inflatable Ronald Reagan. What the hell? He's down. Man down. Wow. People really do win At Douglas Rive
Starting point is 00:26:46 They do They do So He deflates If you have to take him home He's staring right at you It's like Kind of a child's punching bag
Starting point is 00:27:02 Yeah But with Ronald Reagan's face on it. That's right. A shockingly accurate Ronald Reagan, I should say. Can you imagine how upset Twitter would be if something like that happened to a current president? I know. I love you in point break.
Starting point is 00:27:19 It does. It looks like someone wearing a Ronald Reagan mask. Yeah. That's amazing. Someone can take that home. Someone has to take that home. Maybe. My wife said I can't come home.
Starting point is 00:27:36 If little Logan gets upset during the games today, he can take it out on Ronald Reagan. With pleasure. Yeah. Let's give Ronald Reagan a kick. This Blade Runner beta, I wanted to look at it
Starting point is 00:27:50 because there's a picture from the movie on the back where I'm this close to being, I'm just out of frame when this picture was taken. But there's black and white versions of the picture where you can see me. But anyway, all of those things are amazing. I'm sorry you had to follow that, Sam. Yeah, me too.
Starting point is 00:28:07 This is really going to not be impressive compared to Ronald Reagan. So you're telling us you didn't bring any toilet chocolate? I did not bring toilet chocolate. Do you want to go make some? But I did. Make a toilet chocolate for Mommy? Let's see I'll bet everybody here likes
Starting point is 00:28:29 Decaffeinated coffee bean and tea leaf Single packets Two of those Wait a second, that's just from your hotel room That's exactly correct, Doug I didn't want to show up with just the other things Oh, okay No, I brought real things
Starting point is 00:28:43 As I may or may not have revealed on a previous episode, for some insane reason, I was the recipient of a whole lot of For Your Consideration television programs, and so I have entire seasons of Transparent,
Starting point is 00:29:00 Bosch, and Red Oaks. Three Amazon shows that are all really good, and you don't even have to have an Amazon Prime subscription. Boom, here's three seasons right there for you. Plus the coffee, which is decaf, so it won't really help you binge. Pass them down.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Great job, you guys. A lot of great stuff that I'm going to keep. I'm leaving with that Ronald Reagan thing. You can, yeah. I mean, he'll fit in a carry-on. Once you deflate it or whatever. I feel like it's important to get a picture of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:44 You want me to hold him up? He is an elderly person, so he's got some difficulties. There we go. Let me just get a quick... Just hold it like that. Yeah, that's perfect. Like a golf ball.
Starting point is 00:30:00 This is how they held Ronald Reagan up when he made speeches. They'd mad it out, but he was very old. All right, here we go. Let me just get a good picture of this. Take one for the Gipper. Oh! Face down in the ghetto, Ronnie!
Starting point is 00:30:24 Look at the video of it. Oh, that's going on my social media. All right. Thank you for bringing all that stuff, though. And that is going to be a fun thing for somebody to own. How can you give it up, Ken? Well, my home is very strange and unusual. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:30:46 Yeah. And, you know, I have so many things of that caliber. Oh, you're using them like a koozie. And I think this is illegal, so I'm not saying you should do this, but if you put him in the passenger seat, you probably can go in the carpool lane, and no one's going to pull you over and be like, is that Ronald Reagan?
Starting point is 00:31:10 Because they'll feel crazy. Need to see your license and registration? Well. Doug, you know I hate four guests. Doug, you know I hate four guests. Oh, shit. Okay, so that's all the stuff. Oh, and you brought in a lovely Marshall's Halloween bag.
Starting point is 00:31:36 That's right. We should point that out as well. There's one thing I have. It's a lot of Marshall's Halloween bags. And I am not kidding. I think, yeah. I think that bag's so big I can consolidate a little bit. I was thinking that. In case the winner has to fly home.
Starting point is 00:31:48 It can only take so much carry on. The other question, one of the other questions I need to ask you guys is I'll start with you, Sam. What was the last movie you saw? I know I'm way behind on this, but I finally saw Get Out. Alright.
Starting point is 00:32:04 Yes. All that applause is justified. It was a great movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't know if it's justified. It's kind of interesting that someone could get applause for having seen a film. Well, I don't think they were applauding me for having seen it. I think they were applauding their appreciation for the movie. They're excited that we all love
Starting point is 00:32:19 that movie and that you finally got around to it. Had it been kind of ruined for you? Was it a little less exciting? No, I had avoided, I had managed to avoid all spoilers right up until I saw it on VOD. Wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:34 That's your way of saying you don't have any black friends. I think that was implied. No, I have a... I'm just kidding. Like, they would blurt out everything that happened just to spoil it for Whitey. Right. That's right.
Starting point is 00:32:55 That's exactly how it went down. All right. What'd you see there, Josh? Last night I saw the movie Band-Aid by Zoe Lister-Jones, written, directed, and produced, created, her and Adam Pally. It was a really good movie. Sounds great.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Yeah, it was a lot of fun. None of those names meant anything to me. I was like, about do they know it's Christmas? Is it a movie? No, no, I mean, Susie Essman was in it, too. Still nothing, Ken? I've heard of her. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:31 I mean, you know what was funny? There was a lot of good TV people in this movie. You know, people from New Girl, people from, there's a new show that Zola Lister Jones is in, Life in Business. Where'd you see it? Coolidge Corner Theater. Oh, okay. So it's in limited theater. Yeah, but you can also now get it VOD on IFC Films.
Starting point is 00:33:50 Oh, okay. What's it called again? Band-Aid. Band-Aid. Fred Armisen is in it, too. I've definitely seen the words Band-Aid, and I just never looked further. Yeah, it's really good. It sounded like something I wouldn't want to see.
Starting point is 00:34:03 Hopefully no one's like, is this Band-Aid the movie? Like Emoji the movie? Right. That's what it's all about. Every goddamn product's going to have a movie. Oh, I can't wait to see the Kleenex movie. It's going to be so good. It's going to be a tearjerker.
Starting point is 00:34:15 Yeah. I heard... There will be jerking going on. I heard you shouldn't put the Q-tip movie too far into your ear. No, you've got to wear earplugs if you're going to the Q-tip movie. And then all the rap fans will go, and they'll be like, what is this shit? This is not Get Out. What was the last movie you saw, Ken?
Starting point is 00:34:36 I saw a documentary called Future Shock that was about the rise and fall of 2000 AD magazine, which was a British comic magazine where Judge Dredd came out and that kind of stuff. It was really interesting. It just came out. It's very good. Documentary that you saw where? I saw it on demand.
Starting point is 00:34:54 That's where you just stand in your home and scream for it? Yep. I said, show me Future Shock! And then it happened. Then it just happened. Talk about Future Shock. I know. And I finally saw Rogue One.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Rogue One. I sleep a lot. So you're a Star Wars, like, when you get around to a guy. You're not that excited about it. Yeah, I don't really like Star Wars very much. But I love Donnie Yen, who's from Boston. He is? Yeah, he grew up in Chinatown.
Starting point is 00:35:22 Yeah. All right. His mother still lives here. He sometimes is on the train. But he's great in it, so I watched it for the Donnie Yen. Okay. No one else has probably done that. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Maybe not. It's not my thing. I saw a movie last night at Piff. I saw the new Sofia Coppola movie The Beguiled and it's the kind of movie where I encourage people to see it even though I didn't love it because I don't think it's for me
Starting point is 00:35:55 who is it for? let me just give you a well I'll describe it then you can say whether or not you think it's for you it's like if there was a season of The Bachelor that took place during the Civil War. Oh, okay. Okay. So if that
Starting point is 00:36:09 sounds appealing to you, then go and have fun. And if you're like, what? Then maybe you might not be into it. Steampunk Bachelor? It's just a dude and a bunch of women in a house in the Civil War and that's all we will say but it just reminded me of of reality tv and how the bitches will turn on each other oh yes
Starting point is 00:36:34 if you give them the chance um all right my final question before we get into the games portion is starting with Sam again or actually on this one raise your hand when you think you have an answer because I might be springing this one on you guys. Okay. If you haven't heard of the show lately I'm obsessed with finding movies that are great that I have not seen
Starting point is 00:36:57 and you have to guess the name of a movie and I'll tell you whether I saw it or not if I haven't it goes on my list the list right now it's just one movie. Predestination. I have seen Predestination. Is it good? If you like time travel,
Starting point is 00:37:13 you will kind of enjoy it. See, that's what I mean. It's like, I'm getting mixed reviews, but the people who love it really love it. And then other people are like, it's okay, or that movie sucks. So I'm like, not going to pull the trigger yet, because I'll have to purchase it somewhere. Yeah, you'll enjoy it, but you're not going to love it.
Starting point is 00:37:35 I already know that about you. You're not going to love this movie. I don't like when people know stuff about me. That was the tagline for the movie, were they? You'll enjoy it, but... I will enjoy it more just because you said that. Okay. Just'll enjoy it but I will enjoy it more just because you said that okay
Starting point is 00:37:47 just to spite you I will love it then by all means no I I think you're probably right so does anybody have a good one to pitch I have a good one
Starting point is 00:37:55 that you have not seen okay and it is called Deterrence Deterrence is a movie that was made in the late 90s
Starting point is 00:38:04 written and directed by a guy named Rod Lurie who followed it up with the movie The Contender that I did see which I'm sure you did see and it's a very good movie and this one is also political in nature and it's a lot of talking but it's a lot of good talking
Starting point is 00:38:16 and it's a movie where the president of the United States is on the road he's touring America and he gets stuck in a really bad snowstorm in the middle of Montana. And he's in some little restaurant there, some hole-in-the-wall restaurant. And while he's stuck there in this blizzard,
Starting point is 00:38:35 basically a nuclear war starts to happen. And he has to open the football and decide whether or not to launch nuclear missiles and attack another thing and then all the locals who are in this restaurant are like trying to get in his face and stop him and some want him to do it and the president in this movie is played by kevin pollack that's right sir is Is it Kevin Pollack doing a Reagan impression? No, it is Kevin Pollack in my favorite role that he's ever done in this movie, Deterrence. Now we know why you're so biased on behalf of this movie. I liked that movie before I met him.
Starting point is 00:39:15 It's the first thing I said to him when I met him. It is. I love deterrence. And he's like, what? You love detergents? What are you saying? You don't smell like it. Please, could you stand up and speak to me?
Starting point is 00:39:25 Yeah. When they met, I'm sure Sam was a child. When did you first meet Kevin? Is that how you talk to little Logan? Logan. I met Pollock when I was 18. See, I told you. 2000.
Starting point is 00:39:48 I'm not much taller now. You're 18 playing 15. I wish I had a considerable growth spurt between 18 and present. Can't say that I did. Still time. Might happen. There's still time.
Starting point is 00:40:02 What about you guys? Josh or Ken? Do you have a movie you think I haven't seen that I should put on the list? Deterrence is now number one, It might happen. There's still time. What about you guys, Josh or Ken? Do you have a movie you think I haven't seen that I should put on the list? Deterrence is now number one, and then Predestination. Okay, I've got a movie. I don't know if you'll love it, but I think more people would love it if they watch it.
Starting point is 00:40:16 It was from the mid-'90s. It was called Suburbia with Giovanni Ribisi. Yeah, Richard Linklater. Yeah, I saw that. You saw that, okay. Nobody ever talks about that movie, and I really enjoyed it. Nice coming of age deal. Isn't it mostly like in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven? Prettyater. Yeah, I saw that. You saw that, okay. Nobody ever talks about that movie, and I really enjoyed it. Nice coming-of-age tale. Isn't it mostly like in the parking lot of a
Starting point is 00:40:28 7-Eleven? Pretty much, yeah, yeah, right. But like for people that live in the suburbs, like a good coming-of-age tale of hating your life, and then somebody dying. No spoilers, again, mid-90s. Yeah, it was a long time ago, and no one's going to seek
Starting point is 00:40:44 it out because of your recommendation. Yeah, it was a long time ago and no one's going to seek it out because of your recommendation. Yeah, that's true. I don't think you really sold it. I mean, I think I heard it when I said, is that that movie that takes place in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven? Yeah, that probably describes it pretty well. That already does not sound cinematic.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Also, don't lead with Giovanni Ribisi. Parker Posey? Is that who you're going to lead with? That's who you're going to lead with. Yeah, you throw Parker Posey out there and they shut the fuck up. Yeah. And then they find out about Ribisi
Starting point is 00:41:06 once they start watching it but then it's too late yeah and you could go either way on Ribisi Ribisi's great sometimes other times you're like what the fuck is happening Ribisi
Starting point is 00:41:14 but at least I didn't pay for a Ribisi movie I didn't go in there expecting Ribisi because I might not go in there no it's like cilantro
Starting point is 00:41:24 it's's like cilantro. It's exactly like cilantro. I didn't know if you said Sinatra or cilantro. I thought you said Sinatra. Well, Beastie is the Sinatra of the 21st century. I mean, I don't know if you guys have heard his duet record, but man alive is it good. Have you seen a film called Roadside Prophets? Who's in that?
Starting point is 00:41:46 It stars Ad Rock of the Beastie Boys and John Doe of X. I'm in. It's a very good road movie. It has a lot of people that did a lot of movies with Alex Cox, like Repo Man and Straight to Hell. So Harry Dean Stanton shows up. Harry Dean Stanton's in it. He sings a song on the soundtrack.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Oh, wow. And it's just a good, weird road movie about two guys who are trying to bring their buddy's ashes across the country. And it's Ad-Rock and John Doe. Alright. It's a good movie. Should be seen more. Alright. You're not calling it great. I enjoy it, but I have a taste.
Starting point is 00:42:17 Yeah, that's what I was saying. I'll put it on the list somewhere. Yeah. Maybe low. Roadside Prophets. It made me think of another movie people have been shoving at me for a while now that I've got to get around to. Green Street Hooligans. That's a good movie.
Starting point is 00:42:33 People love it. It's a sports movie, right? Were you thinking of the Big Green? The soccer movie with the red hat kid? The same movie? The Big Green? With the goots? The same movie? The Big Green? With the goots? You're thinking of the Big Green.
Starting point is 00:42:52 Nobody's thinking of the Big... Green Street Hooligans is about gangs? But why does somebody make it sound like it's a sports movie? Soccer hooligans. Oh, there is soccer. Millwall is a big part of it. Are they? If it's hooligans and Yeah, it's a soccer hooligan. Oh, there is soccer. Yeah, right. Like Millwall. Yeah. Millwall is a big part of it. Are they?
Starting point is 00:43:06 I figured if it's hooligans and soccer, Millwall's involved. Yeah, right. I know. That's good. Charlie Hunnam was in that movie. So, but people love that movie. So, that's definitely something I keep thinking of checking out. Have you seen Jaws?
Starting point is 00:43:20 You know what's funny? As much as I love movies and growing up in the 70s, I didn't get into it until Jaws 2. That's where they really got me into the series. That was my entry point, and then I was no looking back. Well, Jaws 2 is like the Godfather series. I've never seen Jaws. Many people feel it's the Terminator 2 of Jaws movies. Could it be the aliens of Jaws movies?
Starting point is 00:43:49 Well, I wouldn't go that far. Okay. It's like the Caddyshack 2 of Jaws movies. Much better movie. No way. Jaws 3D is the Caddyshack 2. That's true. Of the Jaws franchise.
Starting point is 00:44:01 Enough math, fellas. Because now's the part of the show where I say, Bert, turn it off. Let the games begin! Shout out to City Cab, by the way, and everyone who were making fun of me for running through the lobby, because earlier I left my...
Starting point is 00:44:24 I forgot my cell phone in the cab and the Westin Hotel gets a shout out too because the crack staff looked at videotape, found the cab company and the number of the cab and then, yeah. Yeah, they CSI'd that shit immediately. Enhance, enhance.
Starting point is 00:44:44 They were very relaxed about it, but had great ideas. I was sort of like, is this going to work? You know, what's going to happen? And then they got the name of the cab company, and I called, and the dispatcher said, yeah, I'll see what I can do. And we gave him Sam's phone number.
Starting point is 00:44:59 And then the driver called, said, I'm coming back over to the West, and I'll bring you your phone for $7,000. It's a classic Boston move. So thank you to City Cab because it was worth it. Then I got my phone back for just a reasonable tip. Very nice. I think it was reasonable.
Starting point is 00:45:21 How much do you, let's go down the line. Yep. Starting with Ken, how much would you... Let's go down the line. Yep. Starting with Ken, how much would you give to get your phone back? If you could just get your phone back within 10 minutes of having lost it. Within 10 minutes
Starting point is 00:45:31 and he only took it from the airport. Or maybe 30 minutes. 30 minutes. Oh, that's different. I'd give him 50. Really? Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:45:39 How much would you give him, Josh? Would you give him some shit chocolate? Yeah, I'd probably give him a MetPipe business card. Be like, hey, if you ever need a shit chocolate? Yeah, I'd probably give him a MetPipe business card and be like, hey, if you ever need a toilet, let me know and I'll hook you up. You look like a man who could use a toilet. You need something.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Do you have a shower head at your house? This cab smells terrible. How about a massaging shower head? Hey, holler at me if you ever blast out your existing toilet. Which looks like it'll be soon. We got toilets that are rated for guys like you. Sam, what do you think?
Starting point is 00:46:13 I would have gone 40. Yeah? Yeah. I fucked up. Yeah, because who has a 50? I gave him 20. That's enough. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Jeez, somebody go drag the Charles. He probably committed suicide after that. He was pretty happy about it, actually. Yeah. And I told him, that's never going to happen again because next time I'm going to Uber. Yeah. I left my jacket on an Uber once
Starting point is 00:46:39 and the guy came back and I gave him 10. Yeah, that's a jacket. Yeah. This is a fucking phone. I should have given him 50. Yeah. I should have. So yeah, if you're listening... I still don't know his name. I know his cab number.
Starting point is 00:46:56 That's actually his name. They make the drivers change their name to numbers. Shout out to 207. The dispatch guy was like the... In the chain of events, the dispatch guy was the one that had me worried because he didn't sound really that interested in recovering my phone. Because I started to
Starting point is 00:47:11 describe the phone case and he was like, we'll let you know. Wouldn't even let me finish talking about my fucking Disney phone case. But also, how many phones are going to be in that one cab? We knew which cab it was. I'm just like, which phone is it?
Starting point is 00:47:28 I'm just picturing the dispatch guys been in the little Louis de Palma cage for, like, 40 years and doesn't know there are cell phones and thinks you left a house phone in there. All right, what is it? One of them fancy not rotary ones? Get over it. All the references in that joke were for the over 40 crowd. Yeah. I know how to read an audience.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Every last one of them. Yeah, so I'm going to call that same dispatcher and say, hey, could you help me get 30 more dollars to the driver of cab number 207? He's not going to be into it. I've taped it under a toilet in the third stall at South Station.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Wait, we have the cab driver's number, though. I do. We might call him later and say, meet us wherever we're at. I'll give you more money. He was so happy for 20. I kind of want to see how he's going to feel about 30 more. He's going to go, don't rob me. Doug, I kind of want to see how he's going to feel about 30 more.
Starting point is 00:48:26 He's going to go, don't rob me. Doug, I got news for you. If you just want to see happiness on a stranger's face when you give them money, we could just find people. Not in Boston. No, he did something, so at least he would feel like he was getting it for a reason. When somebody just walks up to you and hands you money,
Starting point is 00:48:42 my first reaction is, is this got anthrax on it? What the fuck are you handing me this for? My first reaction is, I'm Jewish, so you must know something I don't. Thank you. Feel free to lean into that stereotype. I'm good with this. Has anyone ever walked up to you and just handed
Starting point is 00:49:00 you money and said, have a nice day? Maybe. What are you, the IRS? I might be. Call me Special Agent Reed, please. All right, so I saw them earlier, but you guys get to see them now. There's lots of great name tags. So pick one that you want to play
Starting point is 00:49:20 for. Am I on any of these name tags? And don't you lie to me. Go look closer, Sam.

Those look like Union Square donuts. Are those Union Square? That's a real donut. Sam, if you want to throw one of these donuts, you have to walk off of the stage. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Okay. I don't even think we should do it that way because it's just a loophole. Just hand them to people. Well, somebody brought... Where's the person who brought the crocheted donuts? Where are you at? What's your name? Let me give you a shout-out.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Tracy. Tracy. Tracy crocheted a bunch of donuts because they're softer and safer for throwing. Gluten-free. Yeah, but we can't throw those here because they told us not to throw anything. And when I say they told us, it's just a small sign in the green room.
Starting point is 00:53:12 Like, why do I look around at every wall? Why didn't I just walk in there, just fucking stare out the window for a few minutes, and then come throw some donuts? That's what you get for telling people you're literate. You can claim ignorance at every club you're at. Somebody tossed a canister up here that says,
Starting point is 00:53:30 from Maine with love, and so thank you for that. Blueberries. I'm pretty sure I know what's in there, and I can't wait to forget it in a cab. Can you describe the case? It's got an alien on it. If you gave the cab driver money for that, it is no longer a cab driver exchange.
Starting point is 00:53:54 You just conscripted him into a new career. What do you got there for your name tag, Ken? This is when Harry Svet Sally, and I was disturbed by it because they photoshopped my face on Meg Ryan's, which I thank you for, and your face
Starting point is 00:54:12 on Billy Crystal's and she's straddling him as well, which I don't remember that poster. This looks like it's a British poster for the movie,
Starting point is 00:54:20 which is a little more racier and it disturbed me so much I had to get it off the streets. Yeah, and it says on the poster, which is a little more racier, and it disturbed me so much, I had to get it off the streets. Yeah, and it says on the poster, can two friends fuck on a bar stool and still love each other? Yeah. At last call.
Starting point is 00:54:34 And then at the bottom it says, see Billy Crystal do an old Jewish man voice. All right, good job. I suppose Svet made this. Svet? Person named Svet. Svet Lana, yeah. Svet Lana's your name?
Starting point is 00:54:49 That's your real name? Oh, nice. Wow. Well done. When Harry Svet Lana. All right, Josh, what do you got? So I've got Mike and Doug need wedding dates, and they really went above and beyond
Starting point is 00:55:02 because they did both sides of the board here. It's a two-sided poster. Right, and so it's you and Doug, or no, you and Mike, sorry, with these two up here, your wife and your daughter. All right. What? So, Doug, you're... What am I doing?
Starting point is 00:55:24 You're shirtless with Mike's daughter. Oh, no. Which is apparently what he's interested in. Yeah. Do you know what show this is, or do you just bring that... You keep saying daughter. She's an adult, for the record. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:55:37 Yeah, yeah. Sorry. Yeah, yeah. I mean, she's not little Logan. She's all right. But, no, it's good. And then on the back, for some reason on the back, they didn't superimpose their own faces onto the women.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Right, but also where's the shit head? But on the front, is that weird? There's two people in between. Where's the shit heads? Where's the shit head? I don't know if there is one. Why no shit head? They were feeling bold.
Starting point is 00:56:05 Oh, they think they're going to win. Whoa, that's critical. We'll see what happens. You are not. Oh, I saw this one on the internet. I like this one. Yeah, this is one of my favorite movies, and this guy did a pretty great job.
Starting point is 00:56:18 This would be My Blue Kevin, which is one of my favorite Steve Martin films, My Blue Heaven. And he did put quite a few DLM regulars on it although I'm not featured but I still I'm in a suit with a gavel and a bane mask
Starting point is 00:56:34 I think I know I think I know my next job The bane mask has pushed me over the over the line on this one, that's why I went with it It's got lots of the regulars from the show, including Ken Reed and Jeff Tate and Jacob Seroff and
Starting point is 00:56:49 Dan Van Kirk. It's got the date on there. I mean, it's really complicated. And then it's got a nice frame on it. Kevin Bowes. Kevin Bowes is a video editor. He's made himself blue on there too, so it looks like he's going to pass out. And his shithead, for
Starting point is 00:57:05 anybody else who's curious about this, is in an envelope taped in the back. Yes, Oscar style. That's very polite. It says moonlight in there, doesn't it? Well, I'll tell you this, I think the odds of us hearing what it says in that envelope are slim
Starting point is 00:57:22 because if I were a betting man, I would think Sam's gonna win but let's just play the games and see what happens. Here we go. Good job everybody with your name tags. There's always tomorrow when dreams can come true.
Starting point is 00:57:43 Alright, the first game we're gonna play, because it's that time of year, you guys, if you're a dad or a grad or no one, you know that there's some commencement speeches going on, and this game is called the Commence with the Commencement Game. I'm going to read a commencement speech from a motion picture. A classic, I dare say. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:04 And you guys can guess as often as you like until one of you discerns the correct title the full title of this motion picture shout out your guesses and that's always a fun thing to do does anybody else have a pre guess itess? Not say anything? No. Okay. Oh, and I do it as Bane. Thank you. Even better.
Starting point is 00:58:32 So you don't know which character is saying these things, because Bane has never made a commencement speech. Yet. That I'm aware of. If any school out there, I don't even care if it's an online school, if there's any school that would like a Bain commencement speech, I'd be happy to write and deliver it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:58:50 Yeah. We already have the promo shot right here. It has to be a judge school. Yeah. This is from a movie without Bain in it. Okay. This is my point. Look good, feel good.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Is it the graduate? It is with passion, courage of conviction. Dead Poets Society. And strong sense of self. School ties. That we take our next steps into the world. Space camp. Remembering
Starting point is 00:59:28 that first impressions are not always correct. Can't hardly wait. You must always have faith in people. Red Dawn. Did the invasion happen during your commencement speech? Well, that's what they did the speech,
Starting point is 00:59:52 and then they were like, oh, forget it. I love you, Beth Cooper. There's no reason to confess things like that. Just play the game, Sam. I was in that movie. Come on, little Logan. And most importantly... One crazy summer.
Starting point is 01:00:09 You must always have faith in yourself. X-Men. First class. Never been kissed. School of Rock. Okay, the audience is starting to guess a little bit, so don't guess, audience. I'm going to give you guys another clue.
Starting point is 01:00:28 I'll read the part that I think is most clearly from the voice of this character in a voice that I think is how she sounds. I've already said it's a she. Does that help? Election? No. No. No.
Starting point is 01:00:56 And most importantly... Oh, oh, legally born! Yes! Nice, nice. Very nice. Yep. Wow, that would have been over in a second if I had just done my spot-on impression. Just a second. Of Elle Woods, yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:14 Of Graham Elle Woods, that's right. Oh, that was fantastic. All right, Ken, well, good for you because you really needed that win today. You needed to start off a winner because according to my calculations because I prepared everything. So I know
Starting point is 01:01:36 I'm pretty sure what's going to happen next. We got three veteran players of the games on this show so I thought it would be a fun time to bust out the Leonard Moulton game. Oh! Wow!
Starting point is 01:01:53 Wow! Oh, boy! Woo! You just made my year! I don't want Reagan to see this. Well, that's... I put a bag over his head because I know if I were in the audience
Starting point is 01:02:11 I would like Reagan staring at me. So rendition Reagan is way better. It's fucking creepy as shit. What a very classy young lady in the front row said that was his re-election campaign slogan
Starting point is 01:02:28 in 34 I'm creepy as shit well I can only say the well the rest of the impressions alright so basically for anyone who is a newer listener to the show or has never heard the show
Starting point is 01:02:44 the Leonard Maltin game is a newer listener to the show or has never heard the show, the Leonard Maltin game is a little complicated to explain to the guests every time out, and also the Leonard Maltin app died. But a lovely gentleman in the Atlanta area sent me a booklet of rounds of this game, and then I came up with names for the categories. Because we play it a little bit differently this way, I'll give you three choices, Ken, of categories, and not tell you.
Starting point is 01:03:08 I'll just tell you the wacky names of the categories, not what the categories are actually about. Then you have to pick one, and then I'll tell you the rest of the things you need to know to start off the round. Okay. I consent to that. This game is on a need-to-know basis.
Starting point is 01:03:27 But I do wish to remind everybody, Josh, do you know the Leonard Maltin game? I do, yeah. Yeah, I want to remind you about the negative name aspect. Sure.
Starting point is 01:03:34 You can bid negative names if you want to name people in the movie from the bottom up. No, top down. Top down, I mean. Sorry. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:45 I'm sorry. It's summer. Put the top down. Top down, I mean. Sorry. I'm sorry. It's summer. Put the top down. You name them like you undress. Top down. Is that how you get undressed? I don't know. Do people go bottom up?
Starting point is 01:03:55 He takes his shoes off last. I take my pants off over my shoes like anybody does when they're dressing from top down. You lazy undressers. Let's do a BuzzFeed article. You've been undressing wrong. Clothes are designed to go top down.
Starting point is 01:04:14 All right. Okay. Oh, and we're playing to two points. So the first person to get two either correct answers or challenges will be our winner. Ken, and then we'll go Ken, Josh, Sam, just to, you know,
Starting point is 01:04:29 you know why I did that. I know, Doug. I always knew. Alright. Ken, would you like a category called The 19th Hole? Or Rock the Vote? Or Four Seasons? I'm going to go Four Seasons.
Starting point is 01:04:52 All right, these are films that were directed by Alan Alda or have a season in the title. Okay, all right. All right. title okay all right all right that makes me feel good okay confident yeah dry secure yeah Dry, secure? Yeah. I'll raise my hand. If you're sure. Leonard calls this movie from 2014 a three and a half star movie. He calls it cutting edge. And he says this movie has surprisingly serious underpinnings.
Starting point is 01:05:44 Yeah. Those clues are rarely helpful. He says this movie has surprisingly serious underpinnings. Yeah. Those clues are rarely helpful. I don't want to give away what it is. But Leonard lists 14 actors in this motion picture that was either directed by Alan Alda or has a season in the title. How many out of 14 do you think you can get it in? Eight.
Starting point is 01:06:06 Eight names, he says Josh do you want to challenge him to hear the bottom eight names or do you want to hit 14 bit lower name that movie he gets eight out of 14 yeah I'm okay with that all right 2014 I don't even know. Sam, do you want to punch Reagan? No, no, no, I'm fine. Sounds like a horrible mother talking to her teenage son. Do you want to punch Reagan? Should I leave you alone so you can punch Reagan?
Starting point is 01:06:42 Are you punching Reagan in there? Well, mother. I don't recall. All right, here you go. Here's your eight names from this motion picture from 2014. Three and a half stars. Cutting edge. Surprisingly serious underpinnings.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Oh, I fucking hate serious underpinnings. I don't need anything down there that's serious. And please, when this comes to you, into your head in the audience, don't shout it out, because I think people are going to know it. I'm not going to know from these eight names. I think. We'll see.
Starting point is 01:07:21 Gary Sinise, Jenny Agater, Toby Jones, Haley Atwell, Emily Van Camp, Maximiliana Hernandez, Frank Grillo, and Kobe Smulders. See, there are people who know it. Is this Winter Soldier? Full title? Captain America, the Winter Soldier? That is correct.
Starting point is 01:07:51 Whoa. Alan Alda's finest work. It is really good. Yeah. Yeah. All right, so Ken is on the board at one point, but Sam is now in control because he was left out of that scare-me-ish. Take control.
Starting point is 01:08:15 Take control. Come out of the shadows, little Logan. That's what I say when I undress. All right, so Sam gets to go first, then we switch the order, go to Josh. Sam gets to pick a category between these three. Would you like four letter word,
Starting point is 01:08:48 eat my dust, or the Boston Strangler? Clearly I have to take the Boston Strangler. You don't want to get hit with a battery again. It was a C battery, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 01:09:06 And it was thrown hard. Yeah. Yep. Okay. The boss is Strangler. I'm sure you're going to be very happy to pick this. Oh, terrific. Is movies with the name of a city in the title.
Starting point is 01:09:28 Oh, okay. All right. And this is a motion picture from 2002. Leonard gives it three stars. And he says the stars are good the stars of the film and he also calls it
Starting point is 01:09:54 an Oscar winner and he lists ten names that doesn't mean it's an Oscar winner he just calls it one it could be he could just be describing it as this is a real Oscar winner he just calls it one? It could be. He could just be describing it as this is a real Oscar winner. Maybe. Someday.
Starting point is 01:10:10 No, I believe it means it did win Oscars. It gives it three stars. Zero names. 2002. I don't know what is happening. Sam is so good at this game. What do you got, Josh?
Starting point is 01:10:30 If I had any idea, I'd try, but name that movie. You know what, though? Just name away. I feel negative. I feel pretty negative about my answer right now, so I don't want to go any further negative. All right, well, I'm just going to tell you, and Sam is happy that you're playing
Starting point is 01:10:45 honorably, but this is going to now Sam's going to have a point, and you could have kicked it down the field to Ken. It's a fair point, yeah. Oh no, then he would have had two points. That's right. So you did the right thing. You did the right thing from every possible angle. I feel good about it, yeah. I really only had two angles
Starting point is 01:11:01 coming into me. Plus, I could always be wrong, and he could get a point. I am wrong occasionally. People are laughing at you and taking out batteries. All right, Boston, calm down. It's Chicago. That is correct. It won Best Picture, for fuck's sake.
Starting point is 01:11:20 Who's number one? Is it Zellweger or Gere? I didn't want to gamble. I had no idea who number one would be. Zellweger is number one, probably? Or Gere. Yeah it Zellweger or Gere? I didn't want to gamble. I had no idea who number one would be. Zellweger is number one probably? Or Gere. Yeah, Zellweger. It's about her character more than any of the others.
Starting point is 01:11:32 Roxy, right? Yeah. I saw that show on Broadway and I fell asleep. Who was that? It was the loudest show on Broadway. I was sitting in the third and I was like, I'm out. Wake me up when Joel Grey gets here. I don't like musicals, guys. The music's very soothing.
Starting point is 01:11:48 Who did you go with? Did you go with somebody? Yeah, my parents. And they just let you sleep? They didn't give a shit. They wanted to see it. Sam sat on his father's lap and was embarrassed when they got to the ventriloquist scene. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:01 got to the ventriloquist scene. Yeah. Is that a Freaks and Geeks reference? At least I don't dress like a ventriloquist dummy. Was it an insult? Right, but there's this scene in the show where they pretend to be a ventriloquist. I've seen the film. Wait,
Starting point is 01:12:22 you fell asleep when they're doing it live in front of your face and you're like like, I want to check out the movie. No, they were years apart, number one. And number two, I felt bad. And it wasn't like I was going to go to see it again on Broadway. Oh, you felt bad? You decided to give back $8? Yeah, Broadway gives back.
Starting point is 01:12:38 So do I. The Broadway cast got a note when he saw the movie. They were like, Mr. Levine has finally seen it. And they're like, well, thankfully, I can put that chapter to rest. Thank God none of us when he saw the movie. They were like, Mr. Levine has finally seen it. They're like, well, thankfully I can put that chapter to rest. Thank God none of us were involved in the movie because they cast movie stars. Yeah, it sucks. All right, here we go. I mean, I think that also may have helped you that Leonard only gave it three
Starting point is 01:12:58 because you're friends with Leonard and you probably know that he thought it was overrated. I knew exactly what it was the minute you said the year. Wow. It won Best Picture. It was a very obvious pick in my brain. Settle down. I hadn't said anything about the Oscars yet. No, you didn't.
Starting point is 01:13:15 At 2002, you knew it. I knew exactly what it was. I want to know now. I'm going to look this up later. If there's any other movie from 2002 that has a city in the title. There may very well be, but that was the first one that came to me because, again, it won Best Picture.
Starting point is 01:13:27 I said it won some Oscar. I said it won Oscar winner. I didn't. I was saying I knew that it was the Best Picture winner for O2. I know. I know. But it could have won a Sound Design. Oh, I think it won several awards. It won a bunch of stupid awards. Not stupid. Sorry, Sound Designer.
Starting point is 01:13:42 And Ceremonies held earlier awards. You guys, it beat out the two towers for a lot of awards. All right, Ken has control. Oh, boy. And then it goes to Josh. So the two of you could end this. Sam could be sad over there.
Starting point is 01:13:58 We could end this. What are you going to do? We could end this. Sam, put on your battery catching mitt. There are people here with car batteries, Sam. I should tell you that. Fuck. Alright. I gotta find some categories. Oh, here we go.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Alright. Would you like, Ken, would you like the category Google Maps? Sounds fun. Or what about F-bombs? That's a fun category. Let me give you a third one.
Starting point is 01:14:29 Or do you want to just pick from those two? I'm curious what the third is. Yeah, I would be too if I were you. It might be movies Ken Reed has seen. Should have just waited. So impatient. I've got to find another one, though. I haven't filled in this entire thing.
Starting point is 01:14:50 It's like an SAT booklet. The guy did a terrific job. I wish I could give him a shout out by name, but he'll tweet at me tomorrow or the next day. He had it bound, everybody. It's spiral bound. Yeah, it's real nice, but I can't find another fucking category. You were right to just pick between bound. Yeah, it's real nice. But I can't find another fucking category.
Starting point is 01:15:05 You were right to just pick between two. Yeah. This guy should have done a better job with indexing. Why the hell am I shutting you down when you could just pick from the two? Yeah, go ahead and pick from the two since you liked one of them. Let's go F-bombs. You like F-bombs? I like F-bombs.
Starting point is 01:15:17 You weren't going to pick the third one anyway. No, I don't care what it was. There's no way. All right. Here we go. These are movies Ken Reed has not seen. That's a big category. I don't know why it's called F-bombs.
Starting point is 01:15:30 It's like a weird name for the category. They were all made after the year 2000. Now I can't even find the F-bombs category. This is a nightmare. I got to find it because you picked it whatever you find the first one you open to no no no it's gotta be F-Bombs
Starting point is 01:15:50 it's in here somewhere it's Fomka Jensen movies Josh what do you think it's gonna be? oh boy I don't know where the rocks where Josh, what do you think it's going to be? Boy, I don't know where the rock swears. Oh, that's not a terrible idea. What about you, Sam? PG-13 movies because you're only allowed to say fuck once.
Starting point is 01:16:15 Nice. Oh, that is really nice. And you're not allowed to say it in a sexually related manner. Can you name the PG-13 movies with boobs in them? There's four. Titanic. Titanic. Yep. Good start. The Fifth Element? Nope. She's just scantily clad the whole time. There's some kind of boob in there.
Starting point is 01:16:37 I'm talking full boob. You need nipple. Alright. You don't know? The other three are not. No, Mr. Skin, I don't. You know. Someone clearly never had to rent movies from Blockbuster. I don't want to say them now, but it could be a future category.
Starting point is 01:17:10 This is a good one. I'm excited that I found it. Because F-bombs is movies that Leonard Maltin hated that begin with the letter F. Oh! Finally. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:27 So as previously stated, Ken, Leonard Maltin gave this the bomb designation. Didn't even get one star, just straight up bomb. Yeah, not duh. He calls this movie excruciating. Ha ha ha ha! And he also mentions that the movie is replete with close-ups of vomit. Now, that's a pretty good clue that's also not a very good clue.
Starting point is 01:17:57 What is the year, please? The year, thank you for asking, is 1998. And Leonard lists 16 names. 16 names. Start us off, Ken. Ooh, I don't know. Some strategic bidding.
Starting point is 01:18:15 16 names. I go four names. He just wants four names, Josh. I feel like I know where this is headed. So does Sam. I mean, I'm just playing a lot of defense here. Name that movie. What's he going to do? He can't go three names. He could go three. Come on. The Vomit?
Starting point is 01:18:31 The Vomit? Yeah. Did that narrow it down for you? Yeah. Do you know the PG-13 movies are close-ups of Vomit? There's only four. Titanic. All right.
Starting point is 01:18:53 16 names, you want four. Yeah. I mean, you don't want four. That's what you're going to get. Give it to me. Whether you like it or not. And this will be an interesting one. Sam, do you have any thoughts?
Starting point is 01:19:05 I'm going to keep my thoughts to myself at present. Okay. Very official. The four names are Ellen Barkin, Harry Dean Stanton, last man Stanton's namesake.
Starting point is 01:19:22 Wow. Michael Jeter and Christina Ricci. That's four out of the 16 names that Leonard has chosen to give credit for being in this movie. Christina Ricci. Ooh. Right?
Starting point is 01:19:40 That's tough, actually. 98, Christina Ricci. Any thoughts at this point, Sam? Yeah, I think Josh is about to get a point. Let's say friends and lovers. No. No, I don't think that's a movie. I just want us to say that so I can feel comfortable enough to give my real answer.
Starting point is 01:20:10 But I'm glad you at least remembered that it begins with F. So you threw out an F. I didn't even think of it. You threw out an F title. Friends with benefits. Yeah. That's not it. Do you know what it is, Sam?
Starting point is 01:20:20 No, I really don't. You don't? No. For sure? My guess is going to be Final Destination. No, no, not with those actors. There's no vomit in Sam? No, I really don't. You don't? No. For sure? My guess is it's going to be Final Destination. No, not with those actors. There's no vomit in that. No, no, no.
Starting point is 01:20:29 Is it like a John Waters movie? The rest of the names are, and only the people on stage, just yell out when you know it. Gary Busey, Flea, Lyle Lovett, Cameron Diaz, Penn Jillette, Tim Thomerson, Mark Harmon, Catherine Hellman, Craig Bierko, Tobey Maguire, Benicio Del Toro. And Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That's it. Oh, I thought. Craig Bierko, Tobey Maguire, Benicio Del Toro. And Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. That's it, yes. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. I thought that was earlier than 98.
Starting point is 01:20:52 That's good. Oh, yeah, I'm sorry. I read it wrong. It's from 1994. I'm kidding. I thought that was earlier. I forgot. Yeah, it's still been a minute.
Starting point is 01:21:04 And boy, Leonard did not like that. Yeah. And that is a much beloved cult classic. But Leonard had that thing with Hunter S. Thompson. That's true. The duel. I bet he gave a better rating to the Bill Murray one. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:18 Where the buffalo roam. Newly out on Blu-ray. I find them both off-putting, but that might just be because the main character's a weirdo who's fucking on acid and shit all the time. There's very few movies I enjoy where someone uses a cigarette holder. And all of those were directed by John Waters? Well, only Cecil B. Demented has a cigarette holder.
Starting point is 01:21:40 Oh, okay. What about Batman, the original Batman? Batman 66? Yeah. TV series. I don't like the movie, though. That's what I'm saying, the original Batman? Batman 66? TV series. I don't like the movie, though. That's what I'm saying, the movie. He's got a cigarette holder? It's not my favorite. Alright, Sam, you're in charge.
Starting point is 01:21:55 You don't say. You get to determine everybody's got a point. We got a three-way tie, everybody. Woo! We got to get her done, so... All right. Sam, I'm going to give you three choices. You know, we all know what a big mistake it was for Ken to only take two options.
Starting point is 01:22:22 Yep. Reoccurring theme in my life. Would you like X-Ray or Lando or Sea? Sea soap? Yeah, yeah. Lando or Sea soap? Yeah. Or the do-over? Oh. Which one of those do you want? Let's do the do-over. Oh.
Starting point is 01:22:47 Which one of those do you want? Let's do the do-over. All right, the do-over. You sound so sad about it. I know. I said I'd never do this. Movies with a title that has been used previously. Got it.
Starting point is 01:23:02 On another known movie. It's a totally different thing. It's not a reboot. It's not a do known movie. It's a totally different thing. It's not a reboot. It's not a do-over. It's the same title once again. This one is from 2014. Leonard says about this movie that it features episodes of silliness
Starting point is 01:23:18 and that it's energetically juvenile. He gives it two and a half stars and he lists 19 names. That is a lot of names. What do you think, Sam? I will do it in
Starting point is 01:23:36 16 names. Not so confident this time. No. No, I'm not. Josh? 15 names. Ken? 10.
Starting point is 01:24:00 Ken says 10. 10 for Ken. Name that movie Oh shit Alright Will this be the first time you've ever won with a name that movie? No Good to know Your 10 names
Starting point is 01:24:18 Are Hannibal Buress Kyle Nowacek Anders Holm Blake Anderson Hannibal Burris, Kyle Nuiček, Anders Holm, Blake Anderson, Adam Devine, Jorma Tacombe,
Starting point is 01:24:34 Akiva Schaefer, Andy Samberg, Craig Roberts, and Jared Carmichael. 10 out of 19 names. Ooh. And this is...
Starting point is 01:24:49 2014. The title of another movie. Mm-hmm. That part, you might want to dwell on that part if not recognizing what all those people were in is a problem. No, I really don't know. Sam knows it.
Starting point is 01:25:04 Sam knows it in his heart. I'm so angry at myself right now. How many less names could you have gotten it with, Sam? Just the first one? Yeah. Hannibal's not in a ton of movies. No, he's not, but I haven't seen any movies after 1999.
Starting point is 01:25:21 And I miss Vera Lothic in Las Vegas. What the hell yeah I'd say guess a movie that's you know had a title that another movie had but that's
Starting point is 01:25:31 kind of hard to just pull out of nowhere yeah that's what I'm trying to go with oh Jesus Christ like they did Kicking and Screaming
Starting point is 01:25:39 that was a title twice yeah I remember that was twice I'm gonna go with the bodyguard, which has not been reused. There was my bodyguard and the bodyguard. They haven't used one twice.
Starting point is 01:25:52 But that's your guess? I got nothing. All right. Well, that means that Sam Levine is our winner! Yay! And just like Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, we will not be reading what's in that envelope. At least not on stage.
Starting point is 01:26:14 At least not correctly. All right. And Sam knows it already, but the rest of the actors were Carlo Gallo, Jake Johnson, Lisa Kudrow, Ike Barinholtz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Dave Franco, Rose Byrne, Zac Efron, and Seth Rogen.
Starting point is 01:26:31 And it was the second time that the title Neighbors had been used. Oh, yes. The original Neighbors was Ackroyd and Belushi. And the director, John G. Avilson, just died. It just happened. Yeah, Kathy Moriarty is just died. It just happened. It just died. Kathy Moriarty is in that.
Starting point is 01:26:47 It's a great movie. If you've never seen The Original Neighbors, here's one very important thing you need to know about it. About a week before production, Belushi and Aykroyd called the studio and said, we're switching roles. And it's great. And the studio was like, what?
Starting point is 01:27:03 And they were like, this is the role I've always played, this is the role he's always played, we're fucking switching. And the studio was like, fine. And that's why the movie
Starting point is 01:27:11 is so fucking weird. Yeah. Acroids got bleach blonde hair and blue contact lenses in and look, it's super, super weird guys. I can imagine it
Starting point is 01:27:20 with them playing, you know, and it's still not being very good. Yeah, it wouldn't have been great either way, but it's definitely weird. It's a rough movie. It's got a good soundtrack.
Starting point is 01:27:29 John G. Appleton, rest in peace. We don't have time for this. Do you guys have any plugs? Let's start with you, Ken Reed. What do you got coming up? Next week I'll be at Denver Comic Con doing some live TV guidance counselors and running panels and hanging around.
