Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies! Hey everybody, my name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies, coming to you from a hotel room in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Thursday, March 29th to Oceans 12. Is that correct? Yes. Since last I spoke, you listened. Graham Elwood and I. Say hi, Graham. Hi! We flew to Minneapolis and the in-flight movie was The Tower Heist. How much of that did you get through, Graham? I watched a good
Starting point is 00:00:43 20 to 23 minutes of that before I either slept or read something. You slept. I was watching. I was like, I can't wait to see how long, because I didn't watch any of it, but I could see him watching it across the aisle, and I was
Starting point is 00:00:59 watching you to see how long you'd be able to take it. You know, Alan Alda is, I love Alan Alda. The whole cast is good. The whole cast is good. It's just, it's just. But Brett Ratner is the, is the, you know, he's the, he's the turd in the punch bowl. I mean, he's just not a good director.
Starting point is 00:01:19 But if he's looking for comedic actors to be in his next film, you and I are available. I'm totally available. Yes. We want to swim with those turds. We want to swim with that turd. Let's get in your punch bowl, Brett. Yeah. Last night, Graham and I went and saw a band that we like that we met on the Weezer Cruise
Starting point is 00:01:38 named Sleeper Agent. That was a weird thing to do, Graham. Sleeper Agent. When you see these guys in concert, you to do that oh no that's that's unleashing a hell on them i don't think they want uh we saw them at the fine line music cafe i think it's called and now we're hanging out in my hotel room the next day hello yeah say hi sleeper agent sounds like we had some weird drug party last night and everyone just woke up oh man what the fuck why are we talking into your phone how did i get here i'm supposed to be in st louis right now no that's friday uh yeah friday you're going you're gonna
Starting point is 00:02:21 play in st louis but this won't be out by then. So they can just... If people Google Sleeper Agent, they'll be able to find you guys. But what else? What's the website? Sleeperagent.com? Sleeperagent music. Oh, okay, yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:37 You were telling me last night that Sleeper Agent would have cost you a lot of money. $15,000. Yeah, that sounds like a reasonable amount to pay. For a domain name? For a domain15,000. Yeah, that sounds like a reasonable amount to pay. For a domain name? For a domain name, sure. So, that domain name is held by
Starting point is 00:02:49 an actual sleeper agent? No, just some dude who goes around buying common phrases. Yeah, but that would be the shittiest sleeper agent of all time to have a website. So, let's go around the room and, because there are six of you in the band, and let's start with Alex room, because there are six of you in the band.
Starting point is 00:03:06 And let's start with Alex, and everybody say your name and what you do in the band. I'm Alex, and I sing. I'm Tony, I sing and play guitar. I'm Justin, I play drums. I'm Scott, I play keyboards. I'm Lee, I play bass. I'm Josh, I play lead guitar. Yeah, but you do it like from the back.
Starting point is 00:03:26 Sort of chill in the corner over there. Well, BK's got that keyboard that sits there. It really can't move once they get it on stage. And I saw that it had some space. I like to move around when I play. I don't want to bump Lee in the head too much. So I just hum back and forth. That's super reasonable of you.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Yeah. Yeah, Lee's. I feel bad for Josh getting tucked behind the piano. If I didn't need a vocal monitor, I would take it. I rocked out. If we got a bigger stage, I like to just kind of roam around anyways. Dancing by yourself, but rocking out
Starting point is 00:03:56 by yourself. I just kind of go into my own little world. I need some space. You're a big dude. I'm flinging it around and stuff. It's just, it gets dangerous. You're tucking and flinging. The keyboard gets flung around a little bit too. Yeah. Dropped to your knees at one point holding onto the keyboard. He brought that shit up and held it up. He plays keyboard behind his head like Jimi Hendrix
Starting point is 00:04:21 does with a guitar. It's like, you didn't think that was possible like wasn't there a review recently that was like he was playing this complex part yeah it's real easy i mean no no it's like four notes we're gonna get him some monkey bars i mean i if it was hard i wouldn't be able to do you know and then you you also in one song you started hitting a break drum yeah that was rad with a hammer with a hammer hitting a break drum. Yeah. That was rad. With a hammer. With a hammer on a break drum. Yeah, that's a nice sound.
Starting point is 00:04:51 That should be the name of the next album. Anyone in the audience is nodding off. Wake up. Yeah, that's their wake-up call. Sleeper agents in the house. Ding, ding, ding, ding. You should make that. Try to mic that thing, too. We're like, no.
Starting point is 00:05:04 No, you don't. It almost doesn't matter how big the room gets or how many people there are or even how loud we are on stage that thing will cut through any sound the whole room will hear it that is a god damn air raid siren it's awesome so when you guys are out on the road
Starting point is 00:05:21 do you get the chance to see many movies, or do you mostly watch them kind of like Graham and I tend to do, which is like on a computer or an hotel room? We do a lot of that. I think Tony and I are the only ones that will, like, if we have a chance, we'll try really hard to get to a theater. Yeah, we tried so hard to go see Tony on Jump Street last week,
Starting point is 00:05:38 and it just didn't work out. But what did you go see on the road? Nothing. I thought you made it to something. No. We usually just... Not this one. We'll find a way to stream it online.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Like we did the riff tracks for Breaking Dawn Part 1. That was when we were home for a little bit. We watched the riff tracks for that. That was amazing. I highly suggest you watch that. That's a great movie to do. I do movie interruption in L.A. and other places, and I did that movie,
Starting point is 00:06:04 and it's so amazingly slow. Yeah. Like, there's so much room for comedy. There's so much room to say shit while Bella and Edward play chess. Right. Well, they've got to make sure they have the nice sweeping shot of the dress that you want to buy and the bed that you want to buy. Yeah, yeah yeah it's really showing you things
Starting point is 00:06:28 and then there's these supposed people in the story of the movie but they're all like robots it's all so weird it's just bizarre it's so funny that they let this wolf man who is pretty much always threatening to kill Edward.
Starting point is 00:06:45 It's funny that they're like, but he can, you know, stop by the wedding. We'll come over and say hi. And just keep being in our lives. They're like the most white trash vampires and wolfmen. There's this edit on YouTube of like the second one, I think, made to look like Brokeback Mountain and they edit everything up
Starting point is 00:07:06 to make it look like they're saying these sweet nothings to each other and it's amazing. It's so well done. Yeah, those guys both
Starting point is 00:07:14 they're so in love with Bella that if you it's almost gay. She could tell them hey you guys need to I want to watch you guys have gay sex
Starting point is 00:07:21 and the best one I'll be with. They would. Best technique. Oh, yeah. Furthest shooter. Hit that tree over there. It's so crazy.
Starting point is 00:07:37 I keep calling him a wolf man, but... He is. The wolf man, he's always to have like a nice set of clothes out in the woods for when he changes back from being a wolf to put on
Starting point is 00:07:50 it's weird yeah well that's where Urban Outfitters has a lot of their stores it's out in the middle of the fucking vampire woods
Starting point is 00:07:57 Justin what's the last movie you saw in whatever format? the last one I saw in a theater was definitely Chronicle. Yeah, we saw that too. Oh, you did see that?
Starting point is 00:08:08 Which I thought was pretty cool. Did you hear that they found that footage? Yeah. And then presented it as if it was a real movie? Yeah. They're so lucky they got all the security cameras.
Starting point is 00:08:18 Yeah. It's amazing. Oh, yeah. I'm a fan of that too. Yeah. There are a lot of security cameras in the world. Dude, that was the
Starting point is 00:08:25 only found footage movie that was seriously just like I film everything now like why are you filming it cause I just do it you have to explain
Starting point is 00:08:34 they bring it up so many times in the movie why somebody is filming he's just like it's for my blog your blog about just endless filming
Starting point is 00:08:43 of nothing happening it's bizarre but I like that there's parts of it that are pretty cool for sure it's definitely worth seeing
Starting point is 00:08:52 I think Tony and I saw Project X in theaters too when we were home because we saw the trailer for that before Chronicle
Starting point is 00:08:58 and we were like let's keep this footage thing going let's keep finding these let's find these FFs and what did you think
Starting point is 00:09:05 of Project X? I didn't think it was funny, but I thought it was like a spectacle. Yeah, it was just an excuse to shoot an interesting party. Yeah, the way it builds
Starting point is 00:09:15 and builds and builds is pretty entertaining. And the best part of the whole thing, though, is there's this one moment where the party shifts to that dark point of the night,
Starting point is 00:09:23 where, you know a girl's got a like a girl's bloodshot eye like just one's like messed up one's hunched in the corner it's very brief but like it's like this weird turn that you feel at any party like that anyway yeah there's a scene in that movie that really disturbed me it's when the kid breaks his arm like they just wrap it up and they go along with the party. That's like the second movie that's done that. Like, Get Into the Greek had a very similar scene where he just like falls off into a pool. And if it's something about like having a broken arm, just being like, it's okay, let's keep the party going.
Starting point is 00:09:55 That's me, yeah. I'm gonna go play a show. Yeah. Yeah. You know, it doesn't hurt that bad if you're fucked up enough. Yeah, I guess not. If you're all boozed up, then you can just stand around with a broken arm. I'm going to eat one of these cookies and jump out this window
Starting point is 00:10:08 and test it. What are you going to test? The window? I wonder if I can get through that window. Because that is the thing. There's not enough movies where someone gets thrown at a window and then they just bounce off of it.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Like they always go through it. Like in Beverly Hills Cop, when they throw Eddie Murphy through the window, and it's right next to a door, so that was excessive. But they just throw him to clean through it. I don't think that would happen. Someone bounce off a window? That'd be great. I think it's happening something.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Somebody will contact me and let me know where that's happened. And Tommy Boy, Chris Farley, always runs in the shit. Thanks, Justin. Thanks, Justin.
Starting point is 00:10:55 And then he says all these shnikes. Yeah. That's the last movie I saw. He's so damn funny. Most recent movie I've seen
Starting point is 00:11:03 is Tommy Boy. Oh, well, you gotta check out Beverly Hills Ninja. Was that what it was called? Yes. Almost Heroes. You guys remember... Oh, I never even saw that one. Him and Matthew Perry?
Starting point is 00:11:15 So bad. They used the same shots over and over again because he died. They just digitally put in a different background. Yeah. Yeah, isn't that weird? That's brutal. Creepy. Just don't finish
Starting point is 00:11:25 that movie. That was Christopher Guest's only non-mockumentary. Yeah. Huh. Fascinating. That's a good piece
Starting point is 00:11:35 of info. That's a good piece of, that's, that's probably true. I mean, it is true. How much did it gross, Tony? Oh, no, that was
Starting point is 00:11:40 90s. Probably nothing. Yeah. Tony, his name, movie gross numbers. He's really good at it. Oh, that's your savant? Yeah. Yeah, no, that was 90s. Probably nothing. Tony, he named movie gross numbers. He's really good at it. Oh, that's your savant?
Starting point is 00:11:48 Yeah, I guess so. All right, well, when we're playing the games, we'll just turn to you randomly and say, how much did that make? I love it when you're
Starting point is 00:11:58 pretty sure you know how much a movie made and you say it to someone and they go, no, it made a lot more than that or it made a lot less than that and they argue with you about it and it's like, it's such a weird thing to stand and they go, no, it made a lot more than that or it made a lot less than that. And they argue with you about it
Starting point is 00:12:05 and it's like, it's such a weird thing to stand around arguing about, you know, like, especially when you can just look it up on your phone and say, in your face. All this money you'll never have. So we met on the Weezer Cruise. Yeah. That Graham and I, we did
Starting point is 00:12:21 the Douglas movies on there. I'm sure your listeners are great to hear you talk about the Weezer Cruise again. It does not come up enough on the show. You're absolutely right. You still got Weezer shit that you give away, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I still have.
Starting point is 00:12:38 They gave me. There is endless swag from those guys. Are you at a Pinkerton vinyl? What's that? Are you at a Pinkerton vinyl? Super nice to us. What's that? Are you at a Pinkerton vinyl? No, I think I still have a few. I have some singles on vinyl. I have some of those, too.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Yeah, yeah. And I got so much of it from them that Graham's got some, too. Don't be gleeful. Those are for winners of the show. Those are for winners. You had a pretty swanky deal on that show. It was like, you only had like an hour of work and five days of partying. Getting fucked up.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Well, how much work did you guys do? We did two shows. Three shows. Three? Yeah. Those cruises are sweet.
Starting point is 00:13:15 I hosted karaoke. Yeah, yeah. He did karaoke, he did bingo. Yeah, yeah. Bingo was great. That was the most fun I ever had playing bingo.
Starting point is 00:13:23 That was the drunkest karaoke. Yeah, karaoke was the messiest karaoke I think I've ever seen. That was a train wreck. It was the most fun I ever had playing bingo. That was the drunkest karaoke. That was the messiest karaoke ending I've ever seen. That was a train wreck. It was so fun.
Starting point is 00:13:29 It was like, MCD got a little bit of a nightmare because everyone was like, a mob on stage. Everyone would go,
Starting point is 00:13:34 come on, you gotta put me on. I'd go, carnivals, close the list. I can't. Come on,
Starting point is 00:13:38 dude. I dealt with that guy a thousand times. Come on, bro. I might have been that guy. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:13:44 I talked to all of you. Were you really trying to get everyone to let you sing a song? I could throw down some Marvin Gaye karaoke. I've seen him do it. Yeah. What did Brendan do on the cruise other than that? Wear a robe. Get sunburned.
Starting point is 00:14:01 He got sunburned and wore a robe. Covered his face with the sun pollution in his hair oh my god are you guys in if they do another one oh yeah oh yeah
Starting point is 00:14:12 hell yeah so much fun do a sleeper agent cruise except it's only going to be in Lake Bay yeah 12 people
Starting point is 00:14:19 well you know if we get a if we get a podcast cruise you know if we do a comedy film there's Douglas movies and then whoever else we can get if we did a podcast cruise, you know, if we do a comedy film, there's Douglas Movies, and then whoever else we can get. If we did a podcast cruise, we would definitely ask you guys to do it.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Hell yeah. Because we've got to have some other kind of entertainment on the boat. It can't just be watching people sit around talking. I'm going to go see Marc Maron and get all pissed off on a boat. Get nervous. Yeah. Watch him freak out because he's stuck on a boat. Yeah nervous. Yeah. Watch him freak out because he's stuck on a boat.
Starting point is 00:14:46 Yeah. No. If, you know, if Gallagher gets better, we're going to stage a Mark Maron-Gallagher reunion on a boat. Let him walk.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Yeah. That would be good. Can't leave. Can't walk off the boat while I guess you could. I smell Graham wanting to do a plug right here.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Yes, you do. For the Los Angeles Podcast Festival, October 12th through 13th. We're going to have 13 of your favorite podcasts. Go to lapodfest.com. The website is selling tickets and everything should be up probably late May. Because that's another thing you guys do is listen to a lot of podcasts when you're traveling. We get sick of music. We have to hear our own as we play it.
Starting point is 00:15:27 So why do we want to listen to music? That's an interesting point, because I think comics would rather go see bands play than watch comedy. We'll do, like, two hours of music, then we'll do two hours of stand-up or podcasts. And that's not even comedy podcasts all the time. We do, like, Radiolab a lot.
Starting point is 00:15:43 Those are really cool. Radiolab's really awesome. It's nice to hear somebody else talk. I mean, you're in the van with the same six people. Yeah, and everyone can sort of chill. It doesn't feel awkward that you're not speaking to each other. And hopefully you're laughing at the shit we're saying. And as the driver, you'll find that listening to music puts you to sleep.
Starting point is 00:16:05 But what you really want to do is have a conversation. That will keep you up, and a podcast will serve that purpose. Yeah, you've saved our lives probably. Very possible. That's what we do. That's what podcasting is about, saving lives, you guys. It's like the CPR of entertainment. All right.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Let me make sure I've got the order right here. Do you guys hunger for games? Yes. Oh, shit. Katniss. So, Tony and I read that book. We read it in like three hours. The quickest read because it was all triple-spaced
Starting point is 00:16:39 and really stupid prose. It's a young adult novel. But how does it stand? People say to me, when I say I didn't like the Hunger Games movie and didn't read the books, they say,
Starting point is 00:16:48 well, how do you feel about Harry Potter? And I say, I didn't read the books and I like some of the movies. Yeah. It seems like the Harry Potter books were, in their own way,
Starting point is 00:16:59 more adult than Hunger Games. Right. They were darker. Yeah, they were pretty dark. Hunger Games, the premise is pretty dark. I mean, they just mull over it. They're darker. Yeah, they're pretty dark. Hunger Games, the premise is pretty dark. I mean, they just mull over it.
Starting point is 00:17:08 They're like, ah, kids killing kids. The end. Yeah. Really? Love Triangle, over. That's like pretty much the book. Well, the Love Triangle
Starting point is 00:17:15 doesn't even get going in this first movie. Yeah, yeah. The third part of the triangle, he's not even around during most of it. Just in her head, I guess. That's the thing about
Starting point is 00:17:24 talking about the movie, too, is I feel like the people that love it the most have read all the books so i don't feel like it's you could spoil it for you know because who's who's sitting around waiting to see that movie that didn't read the books you know yeah and then would get mad that i say that you know also you going into it it's three books. You know that. It's not like Katniss is going to die in one of the first two movies. Exactly. Hopefully the third one. But it's not going to trick me into reading the books. Her name is Katniss?
Starting point is 00:17:56 Yeah. The names are awful. They're so bad. Peeta is the kid's name. And he's a baker's son. It's like Harry Potter. They're all magicians, so it's fun they have those silly names dude the name Hermione
Starting point is 00:18:06 pissed me off in that movie I was like what Hermione yeah Hermione he's like dude
Starting point is 00:18:11 what Harry why don't they just call her Herm yeah Hermie hey Hermie but then she probably
Starting point is 00:18:19 this character would be different every time I read the name Peeta Harry it reminded me of Lois Griffin in Family Guy.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Peeta! Well, see, to me, it was like, as I was writing, it was like, oh, his dad's a baker, and his name is Peeta. Yeah. It's spelled like the food, not the... Like bread. No, it's spelled with two E's. Two E's? Yeah, but all the names are so dumb.
Starting point is 00:18:46 That's weird. Withwick? What? Whichwick? What's Woody Harrelson's name in it? Hamish. Hamish. Woody Harrelson's in Hunger Games?
Starting point is 00:18:56 Yeah. He's one of the better... He gives one of the better performances, but it's just... It's all just... It's very... I don't know. I thought the book would be more complex and, you know, go deeper, but people are telling,
Starting point is 00:19:09 some people are telling me that's not the case at all. It's just very simple, and they just adapted it into a movie. I also thought that it was more violent than the, because they, you know, they obviously had to get the PG-13. So whenever shit's going down, the camera's shaking like crazy. I was just grateful I wasn't watching it in IMAX. It needs a better director. I think it was the Harry Potter second and third and fourth one
Starting point is 00:19:34 they changed the director. Well, the third one was Alfonso Cuaron. That's my favorite of all of them. That's the best of all the movies. And then at least the guy after him kept it dark. Because that was the problem with the first two movies, is they were twinkly.
Starting point is 00:19:46 Yeah, well, they were so little. The first one is the guy who wrote... Took the first Star Wars. Who's Christopher Columbus. Christopher, he's from Columbus. He's from Columbus. Christopher Columbus. He's apparently his last name after the time they did it.
Starting point is 00:19:59 He's from Champion, Ohio. Where's he from? I like Christopher Champion would be a good name for a director. He did Gremlins, I think. He came up with that story. Oh, really? Well, sort of. Spielberg produced that one. And Joe Dante directed it
Starting point is 00:20:16 and Chris Columbus wrote it. And it was crazy dark, the screenplay for Gremlins. It was going to be like an R-rated violent movie. And they turned it down as much as they could, but that contributed to the invention of PG-13 because
Starting point is 00:20:27 that and Indiana Jones and Temple Hume. You know your shit. What was the first PG-13 movie?
Starting point is 00:20:35 Was it Temple Hume? Or was it... There was some weird movie about that had, I think, Dennis Quaid in it that was an early
Starting point is 00:20:43 PG-13. Great Balls of Fire? No. It was about dreams, and it was called Dreamscape or something. Shit, now I'm going to have to look that up. Okay, so let's play Build a Title,
Starting point is 00:20:55 and we'll start... Who thinks they're going to be the worst at it? Depends on what we start. Okay, Alex. We'll start with you, Alex. And then we'll finish with Graham, since he's probably okay at it. Red Dawn was the first PG-13 movie. Man, way to look that shit up.
Starting point is 00:21:14 That's a great movie. It is. Patrick Swayze? Come on, baby. They're redoing it, you know. Yeah, but they redid it, and it was supposed to be China, and then, oh, well, China owns most of our debt, so we're changing it to North Korea.
Starting point is 00:21:30 So I think it's going to be... So it's no longer Soviets, but they're still calling it Red Dawn. Well, they're making a modern... They're making it to... Yeah. What? Yeah. Korea probably has some red in their flag.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Yeah, they do. It's kind of like... Yeah. The new karate kid where he wasn't doing karate. Yeah, he was in China in their flag. Yeah, they do. The new Karate Kid where he wasn't doing karate. Yeah, he was in China doing Kung Fu. This was ridiculous. Not a terrible movie, though.
Starting point is 00:21:54 I thought it was enjoyable enough. You just love the first one so much. If the first Karate Kid was a dick, you would totally suck it. I would suck it. I would sweep that dick's leg because you waxed it suck it. I would suck it. I would sweep that dick's leg because you waxed it on him. I saw Scott Pilgrim
Starting point is 00:22:10 was on in the hotel room in this room this morning, and I that was me paraphrasing when she says if your life was a face, I would punch it. So I totally stole that and changed it to dick and suck it.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Okay, Alex. So filmed in Minneapolis and starring Natalie Portman and Rosie O'Donnell, amongst others, a movie called Beautiful Girls. So you need something that starts with girls or ends with beautiful. Oh, God. I'm so bad at this. We could just eliminate you immediately. Yeah, we should probably do that.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Tony's ready to go. Who knows what's up? Life is beautiful. Life is beautiful. Nice. Nice call. In my mind, I was thinking somebody might go crazy slash beautiful.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Isn't it crazy stupid beautiful? No, no, no. Crazy stupid love. Don't play out of turn. All right, Justin. It's a wonderful life is beautiful girls. Nice. Very good.
Starting point is 00:23:21 Next. You have to end with it's or it might be something or begin with girls. Oh man. I wish that on board I wish to start
Starting point is 00:23:45 yeah I have my keyboard I'm playing Jeopardy do you have a hammer and a brake drum with you okay that's gnarly I'm out
Starting point is 00:24:04 okay Scott's out Nice This show needs sound effects We need to take this into the morning radio realm Well there's no audience so Yeah Oh wait Nice
Starting point is 00:24:21 Keep that one Sold out in Doug's hotel room. Keep that one at the ready. All right, what do I need to do? It needs to end. You need to... End in it or start in... Girls.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Girls. Yeah. I could think of one. The title starts with girls. I'm blanking on it. Bucket man. Josh. I need to get that app.
Starting point is 00:24:57 It's free. It's a wonderful life. It's beautiful. Girls interrupted. Oh. Oh. So close. Life is Beautiful Girls Interrupted oh so close it can't be a plural Girl Interrupted that S totally ruins it
Starting point is 00:25:13 I almost said Girls on the Side it's Boys on the Side but you're just it's like if it was from your perspective yeah sort of a prequel alright so is that a movie? It's like if it was from your perspective. Sort of a prequel. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, so...
Starting point is 00:25:27 Girls on Girls? Is that a movie? Probably. I like it. The Graham Elwood attempt. That's my technique. Yeah, that's what he does. Pick out a phrase that sounds like it could be a movie.
Starting point is 00:25:38 It's a wonderful life is beautiful, Girls on Girls. I'm going to have to say that. I can't. Who's in it? You've got to name somebody that's in it. Jenna James? What movie is this? If we did porn, then this would take all day.
Starting point is 00:25:53 I'd be disqualified. You're out. He was making a joke. Graham, don't look at my cheat sheet. Girls just want to have fun. That's what I was thinking. That's what I was thinking too. That's right.
Starting point is 00:26:10 All right. So Tony. Okay. Stick, it's a wonderful night. Yeah. Stick it. What's stick? Stick it is a...
Starting point is 00:26:21 Stick it was like bring it, but with gymnasts instead of cheerleaders. Outstanding. Nice. Mm-hmm. Justin? What's the ending in now? Fun. Stick, it's a wonderful life.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Fun. So you can end with fun. Start with fun. Start with fun. An end of stick. Yeah. I can't think of anything that ends in stick.
Starting point is 00:26:50 But I can think of something that begins with fun. Yeah, now we got something. Fun is about to begin. There's a... All right, Justin, you're out. Yeah. Did you...
Starting point is 00:27:02 You were knocked out of the first round? Yeah. So it's all the way back to, it's just between Graham and Tony? Yeah. Fun with Dick and James. Oh. That's what I was thinking.
Starting point is 00:27:12 I was thinking funny people. Yeah, funny people would be good. Okay, so you've got to start with Jane, Tony, or end with Stick. Jane Ear. Oh. That's good, that's good Jane Eyre Stick or Eyre
Starting point is 00:27:29 Eyre Eyre America I gotta read the whole thing because this is going to be a good one Stick it's a wonderful life it's beautiful girls just want to have fun with Dick and Jane Eyre America American Psycho yeah Is beautiful girls just want to have fun with Dick and Jane Air America?
Starting point is 00:27:47 American Psycho. Yeah. Oh. So, Graham, it's Dick, It's a Wonderful Life. Is beautiful girls just want to have fun with Dick and Jane Air American Psych-O? Psych. You have three seconds. Cyclone. What's that? That's a movie about. Cyclone. What's that?
Starting point is 00:28:06 That's a movie about a cyclone. No, actually, there is Cyclops. It's a 50s sci-fi movie. Just called Cyclops? Yeah. Psycholops? Nice try. I would have said... nice try nice try
Starting point is 00:28:25 I would have said just admit defeat no I'm not losing damn it listening to you think is not very entertaining Damn it. Listening to you think is not very entertaining. Psycho.
Starting point is 00:28:52 You're out. Tony's the winner. Oh! Oh, brother, where art thou? Oh, brother, where art thou? Oh, motherfucker! Oh, in Ohio. Oh, dad, poor dad. Mom was hugging hugging you in the closet I'm feeling so sad Which would create the longest build a title ever
Starting point is 00:29:08 Nice Alright so Tony's the winner Well done Yeah yeah yeah Okay so That's the first only seven person Build a title am I right Have you ever done that?
Starting point is 00:29:25 We've never. I don't believe... There may have never even been seven guests on the show ever. We might have topped out when we had like... Aside from the 12 guests. 12 guests at Christmas, of course. But the... Of course.
Starting point is 00:29:38 But the Parks and Rec was a pretty big one. That was like six of them, I think. Or five of them. But anyway. Tony's our winner, and I thought it'd be fun at this point in the show, before we play Len Moulton,
Starting point is 00:29:49 to play a song by Sleeper Agent, so you guys can, you know, hear how good they are, and who the fuck you're listening to. We're actually gonna just
Starting point is 00:29:57 set up in your hotel room and play full volume. Yeah, well... Put the drums down on the bed. Let's do it, you know? I kind of want to get thrown out of here because they have a really strict smoking policy. So the first one we're going to play is...
Starting point is 00:30:13 I wrote it down and forgot already. Get Burned. Get Burned. So this is Get Burned by Sleeper Agent out of Bowling Green, Kentucky. And we'll be back with a very exciting round of Leonard Maltin Game after this song. I'm gonna let go I'm gonna waste some time

Starting point is 00:33:33 Oh, so great. Okay, I'm done. I love, whenever there's a podcast that has a break in it, I love that they act like it's radio and people don't listen from the beginning, like they would be just tuning in right now. Yeah. If you're just joining us, I'm here in a hotel room with Sleeper Agent and Graham Elwood.
Starting point is 00:33:52 Sleeper Agent, of course, comprised of Alex, Tony, Scott, Justin, Josh, Lee. Did I get it in the right order that time? And Tito. And Graham and Tito. So Tony won the Build-A-Title, and also I looked at it during the break, during that song. Oh, what a great song.
Starting point is 00:34:11 We loved listening to it here in the studio. During that, I looked up, and the movie I was trying to think of that was an early PG-13 is called Dreamscape with Dennis Quaid and a weird... I just can remember weird dreams about being on a weird train
Starting point is 00:34:28 going through a weird dreamland. Yeah, it was just like... But it was kind of... It had some kind of violent moments. It was kind of intense, you know? So I think that's why I got a PG-13. If I got a PG-13, I could be remembering it wrong.
Starting point is 00:34:41 But that being said, let's play the Leonard Maltin game. Oh, I thought you were going to have a crazy sound effect. Let's play the Leonard Maltin game. Nice, nice golf applause. Nice golf clap. That's sort of what it's like. A lot of people are like, that's sort of what it's like it's like a lot of people are like okay yeah that sounds good and others are like do we get to pick name tags? no we don't
Starting point is 00:35:10 you will be playing for yourself in terms of who you get to call a shithead and I have a little I drew six spaces for six of you to all write somebody down at the end here and then yeah um I gotta get for six of you to all write somebody down at the end here. And then, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:30 I got to get the app fired up, my Leonard Maltin app. Got some new categories from some Twitter listeners. Of course, it was someone's birthday today. You'll see. You'll see what happens. Let's start with Tony and move this direction. Man, I thought that was going to be a triumphant horn.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Yeah, that was a... A triumphant horn. A horn of victory. All right. I'm going to burn that thing. I just got it. I'm going to smash it and burn it and then throw it away.
Starting point is 00:36:10 At I Am Paul Bauer suggested this very morning, because he made a lot of suggestions. I was like, dude, your titles are too long. I don't like to do categories where it narrows it down too much or it's too many movies. You know, all this kind of conversation
Starting point is 00:36:24 goes back and forth. And he came up with one that I liked, which is Razzie Winners. That's movies that have won the worst picture of the year, according to the Razzies. Or, Retro Rusher, suggested on Twitter, Peter Shrinklage.
Starting point is 00:36:41 That's movies where a character is shrunk. Or gets shrunkunk or maybe a shirt gets shrunk no it's a person a person gets shrunk or AC Canon suggested Requiem I knew I'd fuck up that word
Starting point is 00:37:00 Requiem for a Bean that's movies where Sean Bean dies. There's a page on the internet dedicated to the fact that he gets killed in a lot of the movies he's in. And Graham's like, who's Sean Bean? So that'll make it exciting.
Starting point is 00:37:18 If Tony knows who Sean Bean is, he can... Don't say what he was in, because that might be one of the movies. Strategize. Strategize. Yeah, like, people get really friendly playing this game
Starting point is 00:37:30 and they say stuff like, I have no idea what this movie is. So I'll say five names. Then the next person goes, well, name it then. You just told me you have no idea.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Five names is probably not going to help. Okay. Tony, how many... Oh, which category? Oh, man, which category? Oh, man, they're all so great. He likes them all, folks.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Actually, let's do Peter Shrinklage. Okay, nice. You get to pick a year on this one, because I thought of two different movies where one of the characters gets shrunk down to a tiny, shrinked-up person. This is not... It doesn't have anything to do with taking a cold shower.
Starting point is 00:38:12 This is not the George Costanza category. Would you like a movie where somebody shrinks from 1965 or 2005? He's really thinking about it. Usually most people would die for the one
Starting point is 00:38:30 that's more recent. See, I'm thinking like which movie will these other cats not know? Yeah. 1965. Strategy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:38 I've ventured against no one in this room will know the 65 one except for me. But... I'm going to go ahead and say 1965. Nice!
Starting point is 00:38:47 Someone gets drunk in this 1965 movie that Leonard gives three and a half stars. He calls it crazy and funny and the second film from the people that are in this movie. And there are
Starting point is 00:39:02 nine names. How many names can you get it in, Tony? Start with six. Then we go to Alex. Name the movie. Whoa! Get this shit out of here. Wait, let me see.
Starting point is 00:39:21 One, two, three, four, five. I think he's going to get it. That's my prediction. Wait, let me see. One, two, three, four, five. I think he's going to get it. Oh, no, really? That's my prediction, but... Oh, God. Yeah. So Tony might be off to a fiery start. I'm not even going to give you the clues again. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:36 That's how confident I am in you. But you can ask for them again if you don't know it from these six names. Patrick Cargill, Roy Kinnear, Victor Spinetti, Eleanor Braun, Leo McCurne,
Starting point is 00:39:48 and Ringo Starr. It's the second movie from these people. And it's funny, and it's crazy. And Leonard gave it three and a half stars. Oh, man. Their first movie was Hard Day's Night. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:10 Maybe. What was the next one? Here's the part. Graham does know it. But that Ringo Starr is a real giveaway name. Yeah. What were all the movies he's done? I'm not familiar with the Beatles movies,
Starting point is 00:40:27 but I'm going to guess Help. That's correct! Yeah! So much agony over so much accuracy. The agony and the accuracy. The third movie was Sgt. Pepper's. No, it was Masked Mystery. There was never a Sgt. Pepper's movie
Starting point is 00:40:43 that they were affiliated with. There was a shitty Sgt. Pepper's. There was never a Sgt. Pepper's movie that they were affiliated with. There was a shitty Sgt. Pepper's movie that happened. What came first, Magical Mystery Tour or Yellow Submarine? I think Yellow Submarine was three. Well, they were, you know, like,
Starting point is 00:40:55 Magical Mystery Tour was probably the third film that they made because, you know, they didn't really have anything to do with, they liked Yellow Submarine once it was finished,
Starting point is 00:41:03 but they don't even supply the voices. They just have a cameo at the very end. That's pretty awesome, but still. I think that might have been after Magical Mystery Tour, because I think they needed
Starting point is 00:41:14 to be still pretty strong as a group of four guys when they did Magical Mystery Tour. I know, because they're in it a lot together. It's a lot of them dancing around
Starting point is 00:41:22 doing stupid shit. It's a weird-ass movie. I like Yellow Submarine, though, personally. Was the 2005, was that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Yeah, show-off. What are you, the Sam Levine of singer-guitar players? How much did that gross, Tony? What?
Starting point is 00:41:40 What that movie? Yeah. Yeah. Tony speaks my language. Okay, so this is where we're at. Tony has a point. Alex challenged him. Good challenge, though.
Starting point is 00:41:52 If it had been down to four, he probably would have been baffled. Yeah. So that means we're going to start with Graham and then go back at you guys that way. Cool. Because that'll be the other way around. All right.
Starting point is 00:42:10 It's so hard when there's this many guests. Crazy. But I like the challenge. Alex was like, some of us can stay home. I'm like, this isn't the Hunger Games.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Everyone gets to participate. Don't leave someone at home in tribute. Okay. Would you like... Who's this directed at? Me. Graham. Okay, Graham.
Starting point is 00:42:34 Would you like... Simone Sylvana, S-L-Y-V-A-N-A, suggested Rocky movies, which is movies where there's an earthquake. Yeah. Eric Idle is celebrating a birthday today, so the films of Eric Idle. And then your third option, Graham, is
Starting point is 00:42:56 the number one movie at the box office in this country, America, on ten years ago to this very day. I'll go Rocky. I'll go earthquake movies. Earthquake movies. Alright, would you like an earthquake movie from 93 or 96?
Starting point is 00:43:18 Let's go 93. Okay, this movie has an earthquake in it. That's all I'm saying from the category. But, Leonard says it's worth two and a half stars, and he calls it a mordant mosaic. Nice alliteration.
Starting point is 00:43:41 And then he also says that it is a directorial achievement, something to behold and admire, but as entertainment, it's less rewarding. And it has an earthquake in it. Wow. Oh, this is where it gets absolutely nuts. 27 names. 27 names. 27 names.
Starting point is 00:44:10 27 names, Graham. How many can you get again? Um, I will go 15. Okay. You really
Starting point is 00:44:17 slashed it practically in half. I know math works. But, uh, Alex, what do you
Starting point is 00:44:22 think of that? Um, I'll do 14 nice Tony good try 13 that was super nice of you to not ask her
Starting point is 00:44:32 to name it yeah thank you cause that would've been tough for her probably uh what's it down to 13 yeah
Starting point is 00:44:40 Justin 11 Scott um yeah Justin Scott um yeah oh oh friend against friend
Starting point is 00:44:55 brother against brother sleeper agent against sleeper agent you just saw the really creepy slow head movement towards Justin he just looked very Hunger Games-y at him and said, you're gonna die today. Alright, Justin, drummer. I'm sleeper agent.
Starting point is 00:45:12 More dant, mosaic, two and a half stars, and then that whole big long thing I said at the end, it's a directorial achievement, something to behold and admire, but as entertainment, it's less rewarding. Oh, and also, let me just say that Leonard Maltton loves the hotel and road episodes of the show oh really and we'll probably hear this so don't talk shit
Starting point is 00:45:32 okay so uh i love your book and i think i've played this movie on the show before because it's such because they have so many names it's crazy so your 11 names are because they have so many names, it's crazy. So your 11 names are Dirk Blocker, Charles Rocket, Michael Beach, Daryl Williams, Robert Doquie, Huey Lewis,
Starting point is 00:45:54 Buck Henry, Lyle Lovett, Lori Singer, Annie Ross, and Peter Gallagher? Is that 11? What's that called? 93? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Yeah. Yeah. I'll read two of them again. Two of the names again. Huey Lewis and I'll Love It. To me, that's... Either you know it from that or you don't. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:30 If that doesn't reveal... I would think Back to the Future. It doesn't matter what number you put on it. Because it's wrong. That's wrong, yeah. And you know what it is, Graham? Charles Altman Shortcuts. Shortcuts. Charles Altman.cuts there's an earthquake at the end
Starting point is 00:46:46 yeah there's an earthquake and it's funny spoiler alert earmuffs if you're looking forward to watching Shortcuts a more daunt mosaic I would have given it three stars Chris Penn
Starting point is 00:47:04 murders Jennifer Jason Leigh with a rock, and then an earthquake happens, and he gets away with it because everybody thinks the rock just fell on her head during the earthquake. It's amazing. You get to see Huey Lewis's dick. He takes a piss in it. Yeah, yeah, he takes a piss in his dick. He takes a piss in his own dick.
Starting point is 00:47:20 He doesn't pick up with somebody else's piss. Please, Graham. Leonard is listening. Please. Mr. Maltin, sir, Please, Graham. Leonard is listening. Please. Mr. Maltin, sir, I am sorry. These episodes are for him. So that means Scott gets a point? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Nicely done, Scott. You know whose favorite movie is? That was a long time ago. I'm just joking. It's still a funny story. All right. We'll torture him about that some other time. Okay, so...
Starting point is 00:47:48 This is where it gets really nuts. So... So we'll start with Lee, and we're going that way, so we'll come around this way. So we'll go from Lee to then to Josh. We'll play to two points? Yes, sir.
Starting point is 00:48:02 And you have zero. Everyone has zero except for Tony with one and Scott with one. And we're starting with Lee and he gets to pick between four, you've heard this category
Starting point is 00:48:13 on the show, I'm sure, four-letter movies. Movies with four letters in the title. You guys have probably even sat there in the van mulling over what movies have four letters.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Yeah. You also, you don't get a chance to go out to the movies, but you're probably aware of movies that are in theaters now. Very popular category. I was going to use the soundboard. I couldn't find it.
Starting point is 00:48:32 And then you've probably heard this category before, too. Iron Lady, and that's movies that have a female robot. One or more female robots in them. And I'll tell you right now, I don't know what sex the robots are in the first three Star Wars movies. Is there a female robot? Yeah, there is one.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Stormtroopers are all dudes, I think. Yeah, because they're all cloned off that one dude. But isn't it, does some nerd out there have an explanation for why stormtroopers with outfits replace robots? You know the answer to that. What is it? Of course they do. Oh, I'm just saying,
Starting point is 00:49:07 is there a nerd out there? So yeah, they got some sort of explanation of why they take such a leap back in technology to have guys put on these weird suits and run around when they have robots that could just go do the killing for them. What about the clones from the prequel trilogy? They retconned all that shit.
Starting point is 00:49:24 I didn't know there would be one in this room who had an answer to that. Let's do I, Lady. Sounds fun. Cool. This movie with a lady robot in it is from 2003. Leonard
Starting point is 00:49:38 gives it three stars. He calls it sleek and sexy. And he says that the robot creation in the film is as impressive as robots have ever been. Let's just say the robot's impressive. There are seven names. How many names do you think you can get in?
Starting point is 00:50:06 Lee on bass. I'm going to say five names. Strong, solid opening bid. Sound like an experienced player. Josh, what do you think of that? I don't know what the movie is. I'm going to say name it. Nice.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Interesting. All right. I bet on Lee on this one, but let's see. I hope I'm holding the phone so the speaker's picking your voices up. Everything got really quiet during the Leonard Maltin game because Doug had the phone right near his face. Three stars from Leonard. He calls this movie sleek and sexy.
Starting point is 00:50:43 And you get five names?, and you get five names. Yeah. Lee gets five names, and you know about the robotic creations. The five names are Christopher Lawford, Mark Famiglietti, doesn't matter, Christina Loken,
Starting point is 00:51:04 David Andrews, and Claire Danes from 2003 I'm a robot those robots weren't chicks I don't know those are dude robots Rise of the Machines yeah that's right
Starting point is 00:51:19 I wouldn't have gotten that I was so attached yeah Christina Christina Loken. He gave that movie three stars. You didn't care for it? No, my childhood got squashed when I saw that movie.
Starting point is 00:51:33 And even further with Salvation. Well, Salvation's ridiculous. There were parts of three that I liked, like Chris Hardwick walking down a hallway with a tie on. I have somehow missed the like the Terminator, the whole thing. Like Tony loves it, everybody else in the band
Starting point is 00:51:50 I think loves it, but I've only seen one. I don't think I've seen any of it either. I've seen them. Two is amazing for its time, but I don't know if it's still as much fun
Starting point is 00:52:00 as it was. When it came out, it was the most amazing thing I ever saw. And I hated, from day one, I hated Hasta La Vista Baby. That's the thing
Starting point is 00:52:08 about James Cameron. Until Avatar, I've loved every one of his movies, but with some caveats. There's always things about the writing that bug me in all of his movies, but I think the action
Starting point is 00:52:23 and the suspense and the filmmaking is always amazing until Avatar. I sat through Avatar. I was never, like, excited during it. I thought it looked cool, but I was never... I hated it. Still never seen it. Hated it.
Starting point is 00:52:35 Hated what, Avatar? Yeah, I went on rants about it. I didn't hate it. All right, well, don't... I'm not going to tell people your Twitter address then, because people will get all up in your shit. Although people seem to mellow out about it, like people who love it, or, you know, they're living in the hills somewhere and don't have technology. James Cameron's all into his DZC shit.
Starting point is 00:52:55 Yeah, is he still with the Bob in the Ocean? Josh has a point. Josh has a point. Yeah. Goodness. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This is exciting. Yeah, and Graham wasn't involved in that,
Starting point is 00:53:05 but he gets to pick, and then we'll go towards Alex. And the options, Graham, are Sockblocker. That's movies where some sort of footwear is in the title of the film. Then there's Here's Johnny, and that's a movie where one of the characters does an impression of Jack Nicholson for some reason. And then... It's phenomenal. If you think about it, it happens so many times.
Starting point is 00:53:34 And then we'll go back to Razzie Winters. I'm going to go Here's Johnny. Okay. This is a movie where somebody in it does a Jack Nicholson impression for whatever period of time. It's not, let me just say right now, it's not any Christian Slater movie. I wouldn't do that. Somebody is intentionally doing an impression of Nicholson. Three stars.
Starting point is 00:54:00 This movie is hilarious. This movie is hilarious, and it was followed by several direct-to-video sequels and a TV series. What year? 1992. Three stars. Nine names. How many names do you think you can get it in, Graham? I mean, if I were you, if I may dare say, I'd take all the names. Because then you can't get into trouble. He's still thinking about it.
Starting point is 00:54:45 I'll go eight eight names he says Alex name it eight out of nine names is that right? yeah by the way this is the year it was born,
Starting point is 00:55:05 so I just had no chance. Alright. Here's your Here's your right name's ground. This is hilarious. I'm probably not going to get it. Is that why you're laughing? I'm laughing because it's great. If you get it or don't get it, either way, it's funny how this played out.
Starting point is 00:55:27 Eight out of nine names are Leo Salonga, Brad Kane, Douglas Seal, Gilbert Gottfried, Frank Welker, Jonathan Freeman, and Linda Larkin,
Starting point is 00:55:40 and Robin Williams. 1992, three stars, and there's three direct-to-video sequels that came out. And a TV show. What the fuck? 1992, I'm going to feel like an idiot. Hilarious.
Starting point is 00:56:00 Everyone's screaming. They know what it is, and my brain is like... That's why I knew this would be so funny. Three stars, Robin. Because the ninth name doesn't help at all. So that's why... I was trying to goad you into doing nine names, then she'd say eighth,
Starting point is 00:56:18 and he would smartly say, name it, for the win, and she would have gotten those eight names that you just got, and she probably knows the answer. See, you're trying to help. Yeah, I'm the game master. I had it all worked out, but that's where the players can, you know, take it where they want to take it. Straight to
Starting point is 00:56:35 hell. Right turn, Johnny. Yeah, your time is up. What is it? The movie is... Robin Williams in... in... The Lion King. It's an animated movie. It's Aladdin. Aladdin and Gilbert Gottfried is the bird.
Starting point is 00:56:56 Right, and it was an animated movie. Anytime it's a bunch of actors and I'm like, that makes no sense why they're all in a movie. Yeah, and Aladdin was played by Scott Weinger. Isn't that always horrible? He's the DJ's boyfriend. Oh, you actually know who he is. I thought that name would have no use to anyone. You know that animated movies is my
Starting point is 00:57:13 total Achilles heel. I never know. Well, the other thing is animated movies are a real cheat in this show because your head is not in the animation game. You're hearing all these names and going, what were Gilbert Gottfried and Robin Williams in together? You're trying to picture a scene where they're together. Some weird version of the birdcage.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Yeah. Birdcage-ier. Birdcage. Alright, so that point goes to... Alex. Alex? Wait. Oh, because she said name it. Is this the longest
Starting point is 00:57:45 but then she also got the right answer so people can't a lot of people bitch to me about people that make other people name it and they never know it themselves so you can't complain about Alex she would have got it she won that fair and square by knowing something that everyone knows except me
Starting point is 00:58:01 god damn it just start watching cartoons bro I do I just need to watch them and pay attention Everyone knows. Except me. God damn it. Fucking handle me. Just start watching cartoons, bro. I do. I just need to watch them and pay attention. Well, they're on the goddamn planes now all the time. Like, if it's a Lorax, there's no reason for me to see it in the theater, because I'll just kind of watch it in the background on a plane sometimes. You've got to start paying attention.
Starting point is 00:58:20 I've got things to do on planes, like masturbate. Did you guys hear Katniss Everdeen killed the Lorax and ate him movie mashup joke he's from district 2 that is such a shit district okay we got shit speaking of shit I gotta move this thing along we've only got a couple minutes left.
Starting point is 00:58:46 So, we'll start with Tony, right? I want to get, is that what we're supposed to do? And then go that way. Okay, start with Tony and then go to Justin. Okay, let's go with one of these three categories. You can do... What have we done already? Oh, Razzies. Razzies.
Starting point is 00:59:13 Or Black That Gas Up. That's movies with either Kyle Gass or Jack Black or both. And for a third one... Oh, the Asparagus pea category, that's called zero names. That's where I just read the entire review, and then you start the bidding, since you picked it,
Starting point is 00:59:33 at zero or less names. You have to go into negatives or stay at zero. Okay, so I think that's two categories, then say asparagus. What? No, no, no. That's its own category. That's its own category.
Starting point is 00:59:43 It's like, that's just what you do yeah this guy asparagus pea yeah who I initially called asparagusp he and then he corrected me
Starting point is 00:59:51 it's asparagus pea oh okay now I get it anyway he invented this category where I would where I would list all of the names
Starting point is 01:00:00 alright let's just do that we're out of time it's fun I mean not whoa excuse me wow I thought I had silenced All of the names. All right, let's just do that. We're out of time. It's fun. I mean, not... Whoa. Excuse me. Wow. I thought I had silenced that.
Starting point is 01:00:09 Who was that? I'm going to read the entire review and then tell you how many names there are and then the bidding begins. And it's basically, it's a game of everybody knows what the movie is, but how many names do you get it in
Starting point is 01:00:26 in the right order reading from the top it's the whole negative names thing so but zero zero is you picking the category you can just say zero
Starting point is 01:00:35 and chances are you're not gonna you're not gonna be in danger or you know it's not gonna it's gonna end up over here somewhere
Starting point is 01:00:42 okay um so Leonard gives this movie two stars and it's from 2001 It's going to end up over here somewhere. Okay. So Leonard gives this movie two stars, and it's from 2001. He calls it remarkably lifeless caper film based in name only on the 1960 Rat Pack film with X-Con masterminding a major Las Vegas heist and gathering ten other specialists to pull it off. 10 other specialists to pull it off. It also turns out that his victim, Casino Mogul, is keeping company with his ex-wife.
Starting point is 01:01:13 There's nothing in the script to elicit interest in any of these characters who succeed only in being cool, in quotes. The real standout is old pro so-and-so. Cameos are included in the movie and another actor appears on build and it was followed by Ocean's Twelve how many names do you think you can get
Starting point is 01:01:34 the name of this movie I can at least get it I mean how many names in addition to the name of this movie does it have to be in order yeah they have to be in the order that either they were actually bill be in the order that either they were actually
Starting point is 01:01:45 billed or the order that Leonard has chosen to list them. If I say negative, I can name three, the top three billed? Yeah, yeah,
Starting point is 01:01:52 in order. I think you can probably get it in negative three. That's bold. He's coming out of the gate strong, so that means
Starting point is 01:02:00 he's going to name the top three performers in order from top to one, two, three, and the name of this film, the elusive name of this film. And, Justin, what are you going to do with that? Mine was going to be negative three, so I'll just name it.
Starting point is 01:02:24 Name it. Okay. Now, this is tricky. For the win, too. Yeah, because this is. Name it. Okay. Now this is tricky. For the win, too. Yeah, because this is for the win. Yeah. The film is called? Ocean's Eleven.
Starting point is 01:02:33 What? Man. Okay. And who's the very top billed performer in it? I would say George Clooney. And then who's second? Brad Pitt. And who's third?
Starting point is 01:02:44 Matt Damon. I'm sorry. It's Julia Roberts! who's second? Brad Pitt. And who's third? Matt Damon. I'm sorry. It's Julia Roberts! It's Julia Roberts! I'm sorry. It's Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Brad Pitt, Julia Roberts, Casey Affleck, Scott Cahn, Elliot Gould, Eddie Jameson, Bernie Mac, Shabadoo, and Carl Reiters. Julia Roberts was in... She was in 11iters. She was in 11.
Starting point is 01:03:06 No, she was in 11. She was a girl, but in 12 is where they pulled the amazing stunt of her pretending to be her to trick Bruce Willis. Fuck you, Ocean's 12. This year's going pretty well. But, so,
Starting point is 01:03:24 nicely done, then. That means that the game rages on, right? Yeah. Because a point goes to Justin. Top three were George Clooney, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia. Weird. Wow. I thought it was Clooney, Pitt, Roberts.
Starting point is 01:03:41 Yeah, I'm sure all of them were above the title, but, yeah, I don't know if that was you know sometimes it could be a clerical error I think Leonard has told me that he puts it in the order that they are billed according to the studio but the trouble is like a lot of the billing works where the opening title billing and the end title
Starting point is 01:03:58 billing are different because the end titles sometimes go to alphabetical or order of appearance order of appearance is more likely, or just actual billing. So it's all very tricky, and that's part of the weird fun. So we've got a four-way tie with three other players here and ready to jump in. We should probably, here's what we'll do. We'll take another break.
Starting point is 01:04:25 We'll play the second song that you guys wanted me to play, which is called... That's My Baby. That's My Baby. That's My Baby. It was. We'll play that right now, and then we'll come back with the exciting conclusion
Starting point is 01:04:40 of this Leonard Bolton game. Don't start your pants with cheap amounts And broadened slips don't come off on the fly You'll never satisfy No Don't wait, I'm never gonna chase Damn gay, I'm never gonna say That's my baby there and he don't need to know That's my baby there and he don't need to know No he don't
Starting point is 01:05:38 Unleash your lock but don't you stray Suck him down and let you run away Tint your lips With love of spitting Throw your weight I throw my boots away Ain't it a shame No
Starting point is 01:05:59 Don't wait I'm never gonna chase The tailgate I'm never gonna chase A tailgate, I'm never gonna save That's my baby there and he don't need to know you at all That's my baby there and he don't need to know No he don't That's my baby there and he don't. Thank you. Bye. I'm holding out for the juice, whoever had mine Don't wait, I'm never gonna change
Starting point is 01:07:36 A tailgate, I'm never gonna save That's my baby there and he don't need to know you at all That's my baby there and he don't need to know No, he don't That's my baby there and he don't need to know you at all That's my baby there and he don't need to know Hey, that was Hello My Baby by the Sleep Tones here on DLM Radio. Anybody who doesn't like their music is a shithead. We're here with Graham Elwood, Justin on sound effects,
Starting point is 01:08:41 and the rest of Sleeper Agent at underscore sleeper agent on twitter and let's continue the leonard malton game hopefully i'll i'll press the buttons right on this thing so that uh so that i can um get to the leonard malton app without stopping the recording i already did it twice and now i can't do it? Okay, there, I did it right this time. What an idiot. That's like, I felt like John McClane. Does he ever dismantle a bomb in any of the four Diehards? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:09:21 He must have had to clip the blue wire or the red wire at some point. He probably did, because they had the water jugs and stuff from him and Samuel L. Jackson. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So he's been through that drill. What's the thing about Ghost Protocol? With a vengeance. Ghost Protocol. I want to start adding Ghost Protocol to every title that doesn't have, what are those called, subtitles?
Starting point is 01:09:42 Yeah. So it would be like the Age of Innocence, Ghost Protocol. We've got a Zubas for this? Schindler's List, Ghost Protocol. The Deer Hunter, Ghost Protocol. Harry Potter, Ghost Protocol.
Starting point is 01:10:03 Then there's Ghost, Ghost Protocol. There's Protocol, Ghost Protocol. Okay. The last person to get a point was Josh? No. Justin. Justin. Okay, so Justin got the last point.
Starting point is 01:10:22 And who made him name it? Or who did he make name it? He made Tony name it. And Tony couldn't get the, oh, it Justin got the last point. And who made him name it? Or who did he make name it? He made Tony name it. And Tony couldn't get the O. It's the asparagus pea. Finally, people are scared of that category. Okay, so that means we'll start with Scott and move
Starting point is 01:10:37 towards Lee and Josh and Graham, Alex, Tony, and then back to you, Justin. You forgot your name. Which category would you like? Would you like the four-letter title category or the 10 years ago anniversary to this very day
Starting point is 01:10:57 or in theaters now? Let's go with 10 years ago today. All right. 10 years ago today, this was the number one movie at the box office, according to my sometimes flawed research. Sometimes I don't get it right, or just once, but that was enough
Starting point is 01:11:14 to hurt my, you know, Alex Trebek doesn't fuck things up. And he's totally high too. Every show he's like, actually, if you watch it now, every show he's like, um, we'll have to take away some points because I was wrong in saying that you got it. Oh, he's starting to lose his shit?
Starting point is 01:11:30 Yeah. Oh, poor Alex Trebek. Three stars from Leonard for this movie that was number one at the box office ten years ago to this very day. He calls it a solid thriller, the box office ten years ago to this very day. He calls it a solid thriller,
Starting point is 01:11:48 and he also says that it has a disappointingly conventional finale. Spoiler alert. So, there are eight names. How many names do you think you can get it in? Scott on keyboards. We're going to go with eight. Nice. Smart opening bid.
Starting point is 01:12:13 Then we go to Leon Bass. Name it. No way. No. You're giving him all eight names? Yeah, because I don't know any. You can do seven. Okay, fine. I'll take seven, and then now he's going to go, and he's going to make me I don't know any. You can do seven. Okay, fine.
Starting point is 01:12:25 I'll take seven. And then now he's going to go and he's going to make me do it. We're going to go. Well, maybe he'll make you do it. You know, I still think maybe he thinks, if I dare think for Josh, is that maybe, you know, six names might be enough for him. Then he can force... Yeah!
Starting point is 01:12:44 Stop telling him how to play! You're going to let me win. You're the worst host ever. What do you think? Do you want to go with that? You want to bid seven? Sure. Nice.
Starting point is 01:12:57 Josh? Six. See, I told you. I'm safe. Name that movie. Graham says name it. So, if you can't name it, Graham's going to have a point.
Starting point is 01:13:07 Did you get a point? No, he doesn't have one yet. He scared me. Josh, who's running this thing? Okay, six names. Suspenseful music. From the 80s. The Michael Mann movie.
Starting point is 01:13:23 I think it might be from Running Man. I'm running! I'm a man! Alright. Three stars. Solid. Thriller. Disappointingly conventional finale.
Starting point is 01:13:41 And your six names are Patrick Bajal, Ian Buchanan, Anne Magnuson, Kristen Stewart, Dwight Yoakam,
Starting point is 01:13:55 and Jared Leto. What? Ten years ago, this very day. Jared Leto. Do you think you know what it day, Jared Leto. Do you think you know what it is, Graham? Maybe. What are you thinking, Josh?
Starting point is 01:14:13 Requiem for a Dream. Oh, that's an interesting guess. Jared Leto was in that, right? Was it? Christian Stewart. Christian Stewart is a younger girl 10 years ago and Forrest Whitaker
Starting point is 01:14:31 then Jodie Foster Panic Room doesn't Panic Room seem like longer than 10 years ago yeah and she's got really short hair I was like she's going to grow up to be real vampire bait. All right.
Starting point is 01:14:51 So that means now Graham's on the board. Graham's got a point. Oh. Backway time. Someday werewolves are going to really dig this chick. That was fun, though, right? Yeah. Good time.
Starting point is 01:15:09 Six-way tie. Yeah, six-way tie out of seven players. Lee, come on. What an exciting conclusion we'd have if you get in this mess. All right, but we have to go the other way, so that means we start with Alex and go towards Graham.
Starting point is 01:15:28 And Alex gets to pick between four-letter titles, In Theaters Now, or Black That Gas Up. Um, I will do I will do I will do
Starting point is 01:15:46 In Theaters Now Okay In Theaters Now This is Motion Pictures In Theaters Now Leonard says about it that it is far from a disaster and he also says that it is
Starting point is 01:16:00 something in it is downright silly. And there are 12 names. It's in theaters now. How many do you think you can get it in? Alex, Singer, Sleeper Agent. I'll do
Starting point is 01:16:18 six names. Six names. Good start. Really? Ram Elwood. She really laid into it with the six names. I'm going to say name that movie. He says name it. So apologies to Lee for walking out of here with a goose egg.
Starting point is 01:16:43 Because this is going to be a deciding thing. If Alex can get this movie right in six names, then she will be our winner with two points. The ultimate underdog story. She was talking a lot of, I'm not good at this. So we'll see. We will see.
Starting point is 01:17:01 Would you like the clues again? Yes. Downright silly. And something at the top top far from a disaster. And your six names are Willem Dafoe, Thomas Hayden Church, Brian Cranston, Polly Walker, Daryl Sabara, and
Starting point is 01:17:25 James Purifoy. And it's in theaters now. So if you guess something that's in theaters now, you have a chance of winning this. Or Graham will take it with two points. Willem Dafoe. Willem Dafoe. He is a shithead. He was the original
Starting point is 01:17:44 shithead, but he was just joking around. He was on Nerdist recently, and people were like, why didn't he ask him how he feels about being called a shithead? And I'm like, I don't want him to know. There's no reason. He seems like a nice man. I'm going to guess the Lorax. The Lorax is a good guess, but the answer is one of the greatest titles of all time,
Starting point is 01:18:05 John Carter. John time, John Carter. John Carter. John Carter. What are we going to do tonight, honey? Let's go see John Carter. Oh, that's like a friend of yours? We're going to go have a cocktail? The original title is John Carter, Warrior of Mars.
Starting point is 01:18:19 Yeah. Don't keep that in, which would explain what the movie's about. I think they must have researched... It's the oldest sci-fi... They must have done research or something to prove that women were turned off by the Of Mars part or something. That was bad research. People would think it's Warrior with Nick Nolte and Tom Hardy.
Starting point is 01:18:42 I think it's the wrong Warrior. None of us won. I think it's the wrong warrior. None of us won. I'm sad. I think it's John. Oh, yeah, Graham. Fucking stepping all over his sleeper. I was a little bit of a sleeper agent. Come on.
Starting point is 01:18:55 Yeah. Okay, so I'd like to ask you to leave now. I got food. Digitally. And real. Realistically. No, it was more just a... It's like
Starting point is 01:19:07 come on fucking really really don't even do that can you guys do me a favor though and the next show you do
Starting point is 01:19:14 cause it happened three times last night and I laughed the second and third time uh mentioning being from Kentucky during your show
Starting point is 01:19:22 yeah like three of you said it yeah but at different points so do it so that everybody gets one mentioning being from Kentucky during your show. Yeah. Like, three of you said it. Yeah. But at different points. So do it so that everybody gets one. At every show.
Starting point is 01:19:31 Everybody at some point just says some other statement followed by we're from Kentucky and then go into the next song. There was a show I fucking love that. We did that on purpose
Starting point is 01:19:40 so many times. We'd be like, we're in Canada. Sleeper agent from Kentucky. We're in Canada sleeper agent from Kentucky we're in Canada that's why we started doing it
Starting point is 01:19:47 because someone yelled fuck your KFC after our first song yeah really yeah yeah to which we responded
Starting point is 01:19:54 with like fuck your poutine because that shit's gross you know what that is I'm not a fan of it but I'm also not going to say bad things about it
Starting point is 01:20:00 I'm not going to say bad things about it because people do like it but it's not my thing I mean it was it was an's not my thing. I mean, it was an in the moment thing. It was to a heckling. You know.
Starting point is 01:20:08 Yeah, yeah. No, I know about that. I would, I would, say something much worse. Fuck your beer. I would really, go after him.
Starting point is 01:20:20 Fuck your beer. I'd be like, I'd be like, you guys are nice. Because that's, that's an insult to Canadians, because they are nice. And they're like, why do you have to go and fucking call us out on our shit? Anyway, show's pretty much over. Graham took it all down.
Starting point is 01:20:39 Bing bang. Yeah, you got anything to plug, Graham? Yeah, tour dates and everything else. My podcast, my documentary the Comedy Film Reds Guide to Movies we've been taking pre-orders at comedyfilmreds.com you can get all my tour dates at

Yeah, two shows now. And then we've also,
Starting point is 01:21:09 I am going to be doing the, along with Graham, the countdown to 420 in San Francisco at 10.30 on 419. So the idea is at midnight we'll countdown to 420. And then go outside
Starting point is 01:21:21 and celebrate. And then Wow Hall in Eugene. It's second annual. It's now a tradition to play Eugene on 421 because the good people in Oregon don't let the fact that it's the day after 420 stop them from enjoying some cannabis.
Starting point is 01:21:39 I think it's a year-round celebration in Oregon. Yeah, Eugene, it's a... Yeah, it's a pretty cool city for that. And Josh of Sleeper Agent suggested a category for a future episode. I'm going to install that and use it soon.

Starting point is 01:22:52 and say that you listened to the whole hour and 15 minutes of this just let us know that that happened and just hashtag ghost protocol it'll make us feel good
Starting point is 01:23:00 yeah always hashtag everything ghost protocol or GMER which stands for greatest movie ever rolled ghost protocol. Or GMER, which stands for greatest movie ever rolled. Ghost protocol. Let's do that. Let's call it
Starting point is 01:23:09 greatest movie ever rolled, ghost protocol. I fucking love it. You gotta do that. Wouldn't Paramount sue, though? Fuck them. Maybe. Spell it differently. The protocol of a ghost. That is ridiculous. The greatest movie ever rolled,
Starting point is 01:23:27 semi-colon, The Protocol of a Ghost. That sounds like the sequel to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Or something like that. Something about... Okay. Thank you for listening.
Starting point is 01:23:46 Let's queue up the... Oh! Quickly, everybody write down somebody for me to call a shithead. Each sleeper agent gets a shithead. Ha ha ha! Don't say that loud. Yeah, just write it down. And, uh...
Starting point is 01:24:02 Ha ha ha! Get some exciting music in there. And listen to the next episode of Comedy Film Nerds because we're going to have all these game show sound effects on our next episode. Oh, no. I am addicted to this. Justin created a monster. Yes.
Starting point is 01:24:18 Well, Doug, you know I've hosted some game shows, so it's fitting that I have these sound effects. Yeah, Chris is going to love it. so it's very good I have these sound effects. Yeah, Chris is going to love it. I can see him shaking his head and that long flowing hair of his flapping around. People are enjoying the shitheads
Starting point is 01:24:35 so far. Who would you call a shithead, Graham, if you had the chance? You don't, but if you could. If I could. If you could say something that people will hear about someone you think is a shithead. I would say John Carter is a shithead.
Starting point is 01:24:49 I'd say... That's a good one. Riggins, though, man. Riggins is great. I love Riggins. Riggins and Landry together again in Battleship. I'm in. Battleship?
Starting point is 01:24:59 Yeah, that's going to be awful. Yeah, it's going to be... What about those Ninja Turtles? I'm looking forward to that. I can't believe the outrage over what's happening to Ninja Turtles. I really don't care what they do to it. It was 1993 when that terrible movie came out, and that was just like... For some reason, people love their Ninja Turtles, man.
Starting point is 01:25:17 And so they're really upset that... Because what part is it they're going to take out that they're not going to be from outer space anymore? Or they're not mutants? They're not mutants, and they're not to take out that they're not going to be from outer space anymore? Yeah. Or they're not mutants? They're not mutants and they're not teenies. They're writing so much about it that I actually know about it because I don't care at all and I still have heard about it. Wow, there's some names on here. Okay, yeah, I remember that one.
Starting point is 01:25:39 That's good. Okay. All right. I think I know which order to do these in. Thanks again to Sleeper Agent, Graham Elwood, and the great city of Minneapolis and their wonderful hotel rooms. And they're just a quiet place.
Starting point is 01:25:56 I like it. As always, keep your head on the ground and your feet up your ass. As always, Trevor Thomas is a shithead. JJ is a shithead. Adam Williams is a shithead. Jordan Spear is a shithead.
Starting point is 01:26:16 Adele is a shithead. And Mark Maron's girlfriend is a shithead. Ha ha ha!
