Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby sticky seeds With 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth There's still not one that he won't see Cause Doug loves movies Hey, hey, hey everybody! My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you once again via the magic of Zoom on Thursday, May 25th, 2023 Kings.

My guests today are The Laughing Man and two others. They are Sam Levine, Rob Savage, and Jeff Tate. Hello, gentlemen. Hey. How's it going? Good, thanks. Let's meet everybody individually, starting with the newbie joining us for the first time. It's the director of Host and now in theaters on June 2nd, The Boogeyman.

It's Rob Savage. Hello, Rob. Hey, thanks for having me. I was yelling into my phone like you're in England, but you are here in the States. Yes, yeah, you can still yell at me. It's fine. Okay, and you're doing lots of promoting of your boogeyman motion picture based on this stephen king short story yeah i've been running around town doing doing special screenings and doing a whole bunch of press it's uh out next week and uh yeah and i'm exhausted to my very core it's a lot but uh it must be pretty satisfying uh it, you know, seeing the movie play with audiences

because, you know, it's got your jump scares. It's a scary... It's pretty jumpy. Jumpy movie. Yeah, it's a pretty gratifying one to watch with a crowd. It's kind of like a tick list.

It's got a bunch of scares and every single one, you can kind of sit there in the back and be like, yep, that one got him. Nice scream from that one. Yeah, I don't remember a cat ever coming into play so i i buy your restraint in that area yeah yeah it's on the floor um and uh congrats on uh you know making a uh you know not only a banger of a horror movie, but one that is a tight 98 minutes.

Yeah, I think it's 93 without the credits. There's no Marvel post-credits sequence, so you can bugger off after 93 minutes and go home. I want to sit and admire all the names of all these people who helped make the Boogeyman possible.

Rightly so. One of the coolest things in the movie, we'll get to my other two guests in a second, but they haven't directed anything that's coming out soon. One of the coolest things in the movie to me is the moon ball that your little girl protagonist plays with and sleeps with at night but I just heard today that that was initially supposed to be something else yeah so the little

kid Vivian Lyra Blair who plays Sawyer our youngest character I I'd completely forgotten this and we didn't we didn't think about it when casting it but she's young princess leia in the um obi-wan kenobi series and we had her character originally kind of staving off the darkness with a a crappy knockoff lightsaber that she would sleep with in the bed which is what i used to have as a kid i used to have this kind of like tacky um lightsaber that used to fritz all the time and um disney when they when they put two together and realized that we're gonna princess leia with this like crappy knockoff lightsaber they um they did not like the cross-pollination and so we had to like about two weeks before the shoot we had to scramble to rewrite all of these scare scenes which had been conceived with this lightsaber toy

well literally the production office was full of lightsabers. We were all just messing around with them and taking our frustrations out on them. And then we came up with, we basically just Googled, like, what's a kid's toy that makes a lot of light? And we found this really cool glowing moon and in an afternoon just rewrote all of the scare scenes to be including this. And it's like the best bit of the movie now.

So it was a happy accident yeah it's i mean the lightsaber a bit uh you know that sounds super fun and and and logical you know within the story but that moon ball was just like you're whoever makes moon balls you're gonna make them a lot of money yeah i know i should have invested get moon ball stock while you still can the movie doesn't come out till june 2nd we'll cut this part out of the podcast uh but yeah it's a really uh it's a really great uh effect because i've always gone back to the uh the changeling with george c scott and the uh the rolling ball in that is so scary but the ball in this movie kind of represents like it's helping her but at the same time that

sound of the rolling ball is so creepy yeah uh it's really cool i'm so glad you picked up on the changeling that's that's completely where we ripped it off from i was like as soon as i saw the phone ball i was like oh great We can do the changeling. That's great. But yeah, and again, you showed restraint in not having to slowly bounce down some stairs. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. The only area in which I showed restraint.

Well, anyway, the movie's out, like I said, in theaters. June 2nd. June 2nd. Also here today, returning off of a recent win, it's Sam the Man Levine. Hey, Sam. Hey, Doug. Hey, Rob. That's it.

That's all that's been introduced so far. Those are the only people I will address until proper introductions. I see. Well, then I guess I should just introduce him right away and take him out of this silent gulag that you forced him into. He's another returning champ after his win in rosemont against his own brother yeah it's jeff tate tate tate hey jeff tate hello it's i have to do it at home for the people yeah doing it in their cars people are sad that the chanting's not there when we do it in this intimate way. Rob, at least Rob's not having to deal with the intimidation.

I've seen some guests come on the show in front of a live audience, and when Jeff shows up and they all start chanting his name, they get a little worried about how they're going to do. Are you much of a trivia person, Rob? I'm a bit rusty, I got to say. And now I'm especially haunted. Well, you know, it's all in the name of fun. Some children do die if you don't win.

But other than that. I'm used to that. Yeah, if you're used to that happening, this shouldn't be an issue. But before we have you take on these two monsters of movie trivia, I have a segment I do on the show each time where I ask each of my guests to recommend a movie from a particular category that happens to interest me at that time. And today, for some reason, I was thinking about I'd like each of you to recommend a good underdog story,

a movie about the underdog triumphing in some way. We'll start with Sam because he's always ready to answer these kinds of questions. Good underdog story. Well, I recently watched one that I think fits the bill and it was fun. See, that's what I'm saying. It's the 80s

classic, One Crazy Summer. What? Wow. They're trying to the eighties classic one crazy summer. Oh, wow. They're trying to, they're trying to, they're, they're, they're taking the,

you know, the, the property developers want to buy the, the, the family property. You know, they're trying to buy it from what's her face. Uh,

and, um, Demi Moore, Demi Moore. Thank you. And, uh, and they started,

it's an underdog. You don't, who, who beats the property people? You can't go up against big property no i mean have you seen those properties those are big dudes i've never come to the goliaths there they're like two uh daniel day lewis's and there will be. Yes. But there's two of them. All right. One Crazy Summer. That's an interesting choice, but they are

underdogs. They do succeed in the end. They show, you know, the corporate overlords lose. And I believe they are all dancing around on a beach at the end. I believe it is correct. Our friend Bobcat Goldthwait is in that

one yep and uh and joel murray uh and curtis armstrong yeah i met those guys but i would not call them my friend i understand you know we haven't crossed that threshold yet yeah it'll happen they're super nice though both of them but both of them would have to be reminded of where we met you know what i mean that i think that's the definition of when you've not reached friend status when you have to remind somebody uh when you first met or when you met previously also one crazy summer i think written and directed by savage steve holland uh rob any relation? Oh, yeah. Oh, man. I didn't put together. There's the world of directors.

There's two savages now, but one is in quotes and one is for real. It can only be one. Yeah. One guy is just calling himself a savage, which I never understood. By all accounts, Savageve holland's the nicest guy in the world yeah like everybody said he's a dream to work with so it's funny that i guess savage is that'll be the thing that'll be the thing that differentiates us then i'm i'm a nightmare to work with you just keep the cast terrified the entire time yeah uh is that do you think that's uh

are you in a in a particular wheelhouse or is horror just one area you like to explore in your filmmaking no i love horror i kind of feel like i kind of feel like in horror you can do anything you know like so long as you scare the audience so long as there's decapitations and monsters and demons the rest of the time you can do whatever you want you know like i look at something like hereditary and it's like that's like a kind of dour ingmar bergman family drama that just happens to have demonic levitations and and decapitations so i think that yeah i kind of get to do the best of both in horror yeah well don't you know you just look at shakespeare and you know how he's got like ghosts and shit in his plays like if he had the special effects of today if he knew about them

exactly um okay so rob do you have a underdog story that you would recommend yeah you tell me if this qualifies as an underdog story i think it does it's like a subversion of the underdog story but i was thinking i was talking about it with somebody the other day i can't remember who um it's the movie dark horse by todd salons which is kind of um it's kind of a play on the familiar underdog story it's got this character who's a kind of uh basement dwelling like loser who lives you know lives with his mom and uh it's almost like it's almost like the anti-garden state you know it's a movie it's like todd solon's version of garden state where like you know in garden state you've got this character who's who's you know a complete uh

complete loser and who who just stares at his shoes the whole movie and then natalie portman comes and plays in the shins and saves his life even though he's not really doing anything about it and uh in dark horse in dark horse you have this underdog character who makes no effort and um uh selma blair comes along for a little bit but ultimately todd salons just has the character get jaundiced and die and the underdog wins again the underdog being jaundice i guess which is yeah which is which i think is is really what happens when you dwell in your basement and don't make any effort so um it's it's an underdog it's an underdog movie in some respect i mean you know of all the filmmakers i'd say uh he's one where saying something like the main character dies at the end, it's not like that's a surprise in any way, especially when you get to that point in the movie.

Yeah, it was probably a wise choice for that character. Yeah. It was a victory of sorts. Yeah. It won't ruin our enjoyment of the film to know that ahead of time. No. Jeff, this is... So far, we got some really interesting options here.

Yeah. I was trying to think of sports movies, and now I can't think of any sports movies. We are rewriting what the expression underdog means today. How about bring it on? It doesn't have to be sports. I've never seen bring it on. I also don't feel like the girls in bring it on are really underdog.

They're good at what they do. They're clearly good at it. But they just appropriated too much from another squad. I guess it is an underdog story if you look at it from the Compton team. They're the underdog and they win. Right. But unfortunately, the movie is not about them. It's about a white girl named Torrance.

I mean, you've been to Torrance, haven't you, Stan? I have. I sure have. Apologies to anybody who's been or lived in Torrance. It's always where somebody lives in a movie when they want to show that it's close to L.A., but it definitely isn't. No, she doesn't live in Torrance. Her name is Torrance, right?

Yeah. Yeah. Torrance Shipman. So, Jeff, I mean, the movie's satirical somewhat, so they named her that to be funny. But, Jeff, what's your underdog movie? I'm going to say attack the block now we're talking okay yeah they should not have won those aliens were the clear favorites just like the property brothers yeah so that was a ragtag gang of underdogs.

Yeah, it's a very similar story to One Crazy Summer. Yep. It's just blacker and Britisher. Yeah. And less beach. It's a lot more inside, but yes. But that is a

terrific movie and it does qualify as an underdog story thanks for those recommendations fellas we're going to play some games right after this break we are back and this first game I would like to play

today is called Let's Boogie, Man. I see you did that. Having some fun with the word boogie. I'll say

a fact. This is how this game works. I'll say a fact. Could be fun this game works. I'll say a fact. Could be fun. Probably won't be. And then you tell me if this fact applies to Roller Boogie from 1979 or the acclaimed Boogie Nights from 1997 or neither. Oh, yeah. Oh, Oh, Oh.

So Jeff will be up first. I'll give you the fact. You'll tell me if it's applies to roller boogie, boogie nights or neither. And if he misses it, Rob, then you get the chance from the remaining two answers. If you miss it, then Sam

is the beneficiary of the gimme point. Each time somebody gets one right, the next person in order will go first. Ready, Jeff? I'm ready. This is just for Jeff.

He's got three options to choose from. Has a character in it named Pistol Pete. Is that Roller Boogie, Boogie Nights, or neither? I'm going to say Roller Boogie. That, my friend, is incorrect. But I loved your...

I felt like you really knew that one the way you said it. I know. So Rob, is Pistol Pete a character in Boogie Nights or not either of those movies? It feels like you're dangling a carrot. It feels like obviously it would be a character in Boogie Nights,

but I'm going to say actually it's neither. Oh, so you're already trying to figure out my twisted mind games. Trying. And succeeding. That is correct. It is, in fact, from neither. They kind of created a false memory of Boogie Nights, though, That is correct. It is, in fact, from neither. Wow. It kind of created a false memory of Boogie Nights, though,

with a character called Pistol Pete. Like, I'd done a whole thing in my head. It does seem like that could have happened, especially because at one point Don Cheadle's character goes through a cowboy phase. So he could have been or worked with Pistol Pete. But Pistol Pete is actually a character from a motion picture called Skatetown USA.

Oh, I always get that in rollerblades. That one came out in 1979 as well. All right, so Rob is on the board. Sam, you're up first on this next one. Here we go. Boogie Nights, nights roller boogie or neither has the line you smell like a patchouli fart let's see you're gonna break it down well i know that that's not in boogie nights uh

and um you memorize that one. I have memorized that film and it's been, it's been a hot minute since I, I definitely watched roller boogie. I mean, I, I think I know what movie that is and I'm pretty sure I know who the lead is,

but I don't want to say it out loud because that could give something away. So you smell like a patchouli fart. Now you're just repeating it back, right? I'm just saying it out loud, man. All right. I'm going to say roller boogie. Wow. After all of that.

Yeah. Incorrect. All right. Well, you know, I tried to logic it out. You tried. I tried. Jeff? I'm going to say neither. Yeah, because Sam really helped you with all this logic over there.

I don't think Jeff would have guessed Boogie Nights. Really contributed. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know if he would have, but neither is the correct answer. So congratulations, Jeff. You're on the board. That line is actually from Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice. Ah, well, sure.

Which takes place also in the 70s. It's true. I don't know that one as well as I know Boogity Nights. Boogity, boogity. Rob, you're up next. Right.

Which movie, Roller Boogie or Boogie Nights or neither, has the tagline The Rock and Roller Disco Movie of the Year. I'm going to say Roller Boogie. That's incorrect.

Sam. Sam. The Rock and roller disco movie of the year. Yeah. Rob guessed Roller Boogie. I do not see that.

So I'm going to say neither. You're going to say neither because your logic being that. I don't see that silly a tagline being associated. Boogie Nuts is not a rock and roller disco movie. I mean, there's some disco and there's some rolling. Rock and roll. Rolling.

Yeah, that's true. Roller girl. So what's your answer again? Neither. That is correct. All right. Yeah, that was so suspenseful.

But guess what movie that was the tagline for? King Kong. No. for? King Kong. No. 1933's King Kong. No, it was for Skatetown USA. Had the nerve to call itself

the roller disco movie of the year in the same year as Boogie Nights. Did you go to a roller boogie, Skatetown USA double feature at the New Bev? Is that what happened? No, I don't have to go. I don't have to sit through these things

to come up with questions about them. But I have seen them in the past. But that really, that tied everything up up we got a three-way tie we got to get a winner of this game before we can uh move on so uh this one all three players are in but we're going to go in the same order jeff you get to go first uh uhest without going over, the runtime of the motion picture Boogie Nights, including the credits and the

scenes that hype up Marvel movies in the future. I'm going to say two hours and 37 minutes, 157 minutes. Okay. Rob, what do you think? I'm going to say 239. And Sam?

You said Price is Right rules closest to that going over? Yeah. Yeah. One minute. you said price is right rules closest to that going over yeah one minute what i'm getting one dollar i love it yeah i love i love a strategist i love you know how i i love most jisms, but especially strategism. This is uncanny that both Jeff and Rob went over. The movie is two hours and 35 minutes long. So Sam wins. The one and only time we play Let's Boogie Man, Sam took it down.

Congratulations, Sam. Thank you very much. But we're just getting started. We've got to play the game that's going to decide it all. We're going to play that after these messages. We're back, and Sam, of course, knows what he won by winning the let's boogeyman game and what is that sam i won the coveted benson cup no that's not true i know it's not true i get to go first in the next very silly game but i have to start writing my names my name on some jock straps and handing them out to the winner.

Calling it the Benson Cup. Whoever wins the first game, just toss them in the cup. You win the Benson Cup. There you go. And yeah, it means you get to go first in our next game. And also, how do you feel about going first, Sam? You know, sometimes it's very advantageous. Sometimes it is most disadvantageous.

Like that last game we just played, I got to be in the catbird seat. Right. Wasn't a bad seat at all, was it? Yeah, it's a pretty good seat. But when the first in whose first knows the answer, then that's the best combination of them all. That's true, but that was a tough one to have to guess to be on the money. Mm-hmm.

Well, we're going to play a game now where Sam gets to go first. Then we'll go to Rob, and then we'll go to Jeff. And it's a new twist on an old game, and so now it's called Whose Gag Line Is It Anyway? whose gag line is it anyway? I'll say a line from a comedy motion picture. Let's say a legend so I don't get into trouble. Okay.

People yelling at me, that's not a comedy. I'll say, or that movie's not funny. I'll say a line from a comedy, and then your job is to tell me either the actor who said it the character who said it or the name of the movie if you

get and if you can name any of those three things you get a point but then you also can get two more bonus points if you can name the other two out of the three options okay wow yeah

and like I said we'll go to each one at a time starting with Sam gets the first one okay and you know move on to Jeff after Sam knocks it out of the park well you know if you're gonna keep quoting roller girl no it was oh the the one uh um it was linda blair

was the lead of that movie right uh roller boogie yes indeed okay okay all right that is the one i was thinking yeah yeah okay yeah there's so many things to confuse roller boogie with well you know i thought it was the disco roller movie of the rock and roll but i was wrong no that was one of those uh you know uh volcano dante's peak situation where where two disco roller skating movies came out at the same time. They both suffered. They both have not gotten the attention they deserve.

Alright. Sam's up first, like I said. Also, I'm not going to try to imitate the actor or actress who said the line. Instead, I'm not going to try to imitate the actor or actress who said the line. Instead, I'm going to say them all with this silly voice. Are you ready?

Yes. Here we go. All right. That's not the line from the movie. All right. Sam, I need the actor, not the line from the movie. All right. Sam. Yeah. I need the actor,

the character of the movie. That said this line. Gentlemen, start your boners. um oh wow uh i was just enjoying you saying with that very silly voice right i think it should they should have said it that way in the movie oh man it's good it said it said very very seriously sincerely it is no and i what's terrible is i know i do know the movie but i can't remember who says it maybe it's time to start boners you know joke around about it yeah well no i'm trying to remember if i can i mean i

guess i get free guesses right if i say the name of the movie and i'm correct do i get to guess at the rest no you just have to you can only yeah well you can guess the name of the movie and I'm correct, do I get to guess at the rest? No, you just have to. You can only. Well, you can guess the name of the movie. Correct. If you're right. And, you know, then you can go for the bonus points. But OK, you just have to get something right to get the bonus points. Fair enough. Well, I know that that is from Bachelor Party.

All right. So you're on the board. You got a point. But now can you name the character or the actor? Man. I am killing myself because I know it's not Hank's character who says it. And I am blanking on his buddy's name, both the actor and the character. So I will erroneously say Tom Hanks.

Okay. That's incorrect. I know. He plays the, you know, he's the like guy. Yeah, he's the nice guy. Yeah. He's the good guy. And his best friend, I guess, probably,

the top friend is the one who says that his name is Jay. And he's played by Adrian's Med. Okay. All right. I don't feel that bad. come on the great adrian's a man i'm not i'm taking nothing away from him i'm just saying it wasn't like i had accidentally forgot that willem defoe played the best friend at bachelor party and i totally blanked on it oh no it wasn't a real star making machine, that bachelor party.

It really just only seemed to work out for Tom Hanks and the lady that did those white snake videos. Tony. OK. Yeah. I remember I didn't think she said, gentlemen, start your boners. Yeah. No, she's like in a nun habit at one point when he's fantasizing about it. It's weird.

OK, so, Rob, it It's weird. Okay, so Rob, it's your turn. You get to go first. Character, actor, motion picture, and here's the line. You sit on the throne of life!

Oh, I know this one. Do it one more time. Do it one more time. You sit on a throne of lies. Ooh. Ooh. Damn voice is making it so hard right it really fucks with you oh i've got no idea i'm gonna just it it sounds like maybe something that somebody would improvise

in like a judd apatow one of those things i i I'm going to throw Superbad out there. It's not that, but I'm going to throw it out there just to throw something. That's not a terrible guess, but that's incorrect. Jeff? I'm going to say... These should get easier, by the way. Oh, thank God. I'm going

to say Will Ferrell Says it What did you Just say That is correct it is Will Ferrell You Sit on a throne of Lies

What's the character's name In the movie I'm going to say I don't know why i start my sentence like that of course whatever i say is what i'm gonna say um uh anchorman ron burgundy oh wow those are great great guesses uh that was a that was a real valiant effort. But I like that you figured out that it was Will Ferrell. It's from when he played Buddy the Elf in the motion picture, Elf. Boy, I wish I'd gotten to go second. I could have.

See, you worked against me, Doug. That would have been a one, two, three slam dunk. Yeah, you would have really chalked up the points there. But unfortunately, we're back to you again, though oh we are okay right oh right yeah because i guess i'm going next okay yeah so you're up okay you got this all right let's see you've already got one point on the board joe's got a point rob's still in this though okay he's got he's got the eye of the tiger Sam here's the line Eat my shorts Well

Let's see Yeah I mean I feel like That definitely It said In a particular film that I'm thinking of But I wonder if you're thinking of a different film Do I still get any points

Oh no I don't care if it's said in a hundred movies it has to be the one that i wrote on this piece of paper but i mostly i mostly associate it though actually with i can't think of any other movies it's in but it's definitely it was bart simpson's catchphrase for a while and also local la radio guy rick dees like to say it a lot yeah but it was in a motion picture what do you think it is well i mean i was going to say the simpsons movie but clearly since you said it was bart simpson's catchphrase for a while i don't think you would have just thrown that out there if they were the correct answer and i don't think he says it in the movie because i don't think you would have just thrown that out there if they were the correct answer. And I don't think he says it in the movie because I don't think they would, you know,

Cowabunga was another one. Like he had phrases that were like things people already said, you know, and the Simpsons writers were more clever than that. Right. Oh, my God. But I know I've heard it, though, in other things. Oh, let me say this, though. Let me say this to you.

Okay, go ahead. Eat my shorts. The Breakfast Club said by Judd Nelson. Wow. Is that your final answer? That is my final answer. You don't have the third thing? Oh, it's...

To really show off? I can... I only know his last name. Does that count? Well, do you think we should play Jeopardy Rules? Yes. Then his last name would be good. It's Bender.

You are right on all three counts. That's impressive. Three points for Sam, giving him a whopping total of four points, but Rob, here's your chance to get on the board with three points.

Are you ready? Can I tell you something, Doug? It was when you said it the second time. Oh, did I sound too much like Judd Nelson? Because he says it, eat my short. Like, that's how he says it. Right. Because the principle makes him repeat it.

He says, I dare you to say that again. Right. Yeah. So, yeah, maybe my reading was too close to it. He says, I dare you to say that again. Yeah. So yeah, maybe my reading was too close to it. So I apologize. I apologize to all the contestants and we'll edit that part out of the program.

Alright, this next one, now I'm really looking at it like I can't say it like they say it in the movie. Okay, you ready, Rob? rob ready i'm ready as if that's clueless right that is correct who says it and what's the name of the performer? Actor. Just let me buy some time. Say it again.

Okay. As if! Was it Alicia Silverstone or something like that? Is that the name? And I don't know. I don't in the life of me remember the character's name.

Say it one more time, I'll remember. Azif. Azif. No, not quite. Here, let me do it. I'll do an impression that might help you to get it right. As if! Snap out of it!

Wait a minute, that should... No, it's just the show's just become bring on a distinguished director and have people laugh at him. What are you guys... I appreciate all the help you're giving me. I'm going to stick with my two. No, it's just a stupid Moonstruck joke because

her name in the movie is Cher. Oh, yeah. Spelled just like Cher of Sonny and Fame. Like they need to bring up Sonny to tell people who Cher is. Alright, Rob. That's two points for who Cher is. All right, Rob. So that's two points for you, man.

You're killing it. Jeff goes first on this next one. Ready, Jeff? I'm ready. Okay. Did I stutter? Okay. All right.

All right. I'm going to guess Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Incorrect. All right. Sam. That's tough but fair. You're still on the board buddy yeah Sam's got a

double digit no wait that's not right he's ahead yes yeah and it's my guess yeah I think that is also said by Judd Nelson in the Breakfast Club. As who?

As Bender. That is correct. That's insane. It's in the same scene. It's in the same scene. I thought I was hallucinating when you said it. You were supposed to say to yourself, why would it be this?

Why would it come up again? That can't possibly be right. That's exactly what my thought was. Plus, did I stutters? Another one like John Hughes was very good at writing screenplays where most of the things they say are just expressions he made up like not ones from you know like they're actually out in the vernacular but for some reason did i stutters always stood out to me because people said that a ton of things

yeah stanley said it on the office did he come up with my shorts then uh what's that did he come up with eat my shorts then uh what's that did he come up with eat my shorts or was that already the thing that's the question is i don't know which came first but you know most of you know like at one point judd nelson called somebody a neo maxi zune dweeby and nobody had ever put any of those words together ever before and And that was like all of John Hughes movies. If you watch them, they don't have references that are dated because they just make up their own expressions. Wow. And most of the dialogue and stuff stays on story.

I mean, I didn't want to say anything, but actually my shorts Shakespeare came up. Oh, right. Right, right. But it was Pantaloons or something else. That's right. It was something

familiar sounding. Okay. We gotta get serious about this competition. Rob, you've got a chance to get three points here and get within scratching distance of Sam's

whopping eight points here we go he slimed me that's Ghostbusters I think, and Bill Murray, and I don't know his character names. We found your weak spot is the character names.

I've only seen that movie once, weirdly. What? Yeah. You know, I only saw that movie for the first time like three years ago. Wow. 80s blind spot. I have no idea it took so long to get that movie to the UK yeah it's huge there now wow did you uh follow through with uh Ghostbusters 2 I haven't yet you know I've got a bit of a Bill Murray thing

I just you love him so much you don't want to see his movie i think i did i think because i missed i missed this whole wave of of bill murray 80s comic like i came to them really late i've been i've been slowly kind of doing my homework but it's like there's a it's like a certain kind of brand of obnoxious comedy that that like the whole the whole time the movie's kind of like i mean this is the internet's going to destroy me for this but it's like the whole time in these movies that they're kind of like nudging you and being like he's an asshole but you love him right you love him right and i'm like no i don't he's an asshole yeah well that's what they do now is they talk about like tony soprano and everybody on succession and talk and talk about the concept of the anti-hero.

But they don't realize that the anti-heroes used to be just openly horrible, but were the hero of the story somehow. And it is weird to go back and look at early Bill Murray and early Chevy Chase and just a bunch of those kind of performers. Their early stuff was – Tom Hanks too a little bit. Their early stuff was like oh, we're supposed to root for this really obnoxious carrot person. Yeah.

Yeah. Anyway, so... What was his name? Well, that's also the funny thing is that he wears a name tag during much of the film. What was his name? What was his name? Well, that's also the funny thing is that, you know, he wears a name tag during much of the film. So, like, that's also should be helpful.

But seeing it only the one time three years ago, I totally get where you're coming from. His name is Peter Venkman. No, I don't know. They all have, like, fun, like, kind of, like, scientist names, you know. The names that make them sound like nerds before you even meet them. Yeah. All right.

We're getting down to it, Jeff. You've only got one point, so just to get in the mix here, you got to tear this one up. Are you ready? I'm ready. Okay. This one goes to 11.

Alright, it is Spinal Tap. This is Spinal Tap. Christopher Guest says it. And his name is... I'm going to give Rob the point if he knows it. I get their names confused.

Is it Nigel? He's Nigel St. Nigel. I don't know. What is it, Rob? I don't know. I don't know. What is it, Rob? I don't know. I don't know. I appreciate the charity, though. I do. I sure do.

It's Tufnel, right? Tufnel, yeah. Nigel Tufnel. Oh, see, that came into my head, and then I thought that was a real guy. And then David St. Hubbins is McKeon. David St. Hubbins. I thought thought nigel toughner was in like yellow or something when it popped into my head you're thinking of bev bevin yes yes that is so weird all right um so you got two points there jeff's that puts you

you got a respectable three points but uh no chance to catch up to Sam. So I'm going to have to call it. Do you want one more, Sam, for fun? Sure. All right. Laugh it up, Fuzzball. Laugh it up, Fuzzball. I could listen to you read movie lines.

You might have to. It might be the show from now on is just me reading movie lines. Dumb voice. Oh, wow. Well, I know. Damn. I know who says it that's harrison ford says it to chewbacca um but i honestly can't remember which of the trilogy that so that would get you you know that would get you one point in this game then you'd have to come up with the which movie it was oh no can i say can i say han solo? Yeah, that's two points. Now you just have to figure out which movie it was in.

I will say that's in Return of the Jedi. Boo. Which one's it in, Rob? I'm going to say the first Star Wars, A New Hope. No. No. It is Empire Strikes Back it is empire strikes back and it's in that medical room yeah yeah just to get just to so the people knew that i i wasn't just going by elimination

well yeah it could have been it could have been yeah's true. I don't think they'd hold a line that good for all the way until Force Awakens. No. Well, so congratulations, Jeff. You got one more last minute point there. Yes. But Sam is still our winner today. Congratulations, Sam Levine. Thank you so much, Doug.

In the future, if you could take quotes from movies that i was in a movie that specifically parodied that scene of oh that would be that would be great do you want to do another run at that sentence no it turned into a real nightmare well i'll walk you through it let me let me break it down for you in not another teen movie we parody the scene where uh the late great paul gleason comes in and gets into that spat with judd nelson uh-huh and we parody that exact scene and we got paul gleason so i i watched the movie of course a bunch but i saw that specific scene like 30 times before we shot that.

That's why it came back to me. That's why you recognized his delivery in my voice when I was trying to not sound like him. My shorts. My shorts.
