Doug hates candy wrappers, sweetie babies, sticky seats 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 I Love Movies.
Coming to you once again from Largo in Los Angeles. Yes!
So great to be back at Largo.
It's Sunday, December 18th, 2022,
the first night of Hanukkah.
I've got eight chairs on stage and eight guests. No, it's not seven guests,
and we're saving a seat for Elijah.
We have eight guests milling around backstage
we just took the infamous Largo backstage photo for everybody to enjoy at a later date in time and
Let's jump right into everybody's favorite part of the show
Doug plugs
Yeah, I've got shows during the
holiday taint like I do every year.
San Diego on December
26th, Irvine on December
28th, and I'll be at Cobbs
in San Francisco on New Year's Eve.
For all of my dates and deets,
go to Douglovesmovies.com.
That's Douglovesmovies.com!
Yeah!
Go Cubs! Yeah!
Go!
What?
Hit it, Jason.
Yay!
Sure, give yourselves a round of applause for that amazing...
Such an amazing cult after all these years.
And could you hold that up for a show,
stand up and show everybody.
This is caca on it.
It's like a...
This is like a Gryffindor scarf or something.
Some sort of, looks very Harry Potter to me for some reason.
Probably just because it's a scarf and I have no imagination. some sort of looks looks very Harry Potter to me for some reason probably
just because it's a scarf and I have no imagination I'm so excited about the
prize bag box crate whatever you want to call it that I have brought this evening
it is a crate it's a little crate with some stuff in it. I've got some shirts and jackets
from a company called Ghostly
Goods. Ghostly
Goods Graham on the socials.
And they have cute little
ghosts on them.
And I wear
their stuff all the time. Jackets and
shirts. And so the winner's gonna
get a pile of their clothes
because we don't know what size the winner is at this juncture.
So we don't want to make any assumptions
except for we also just picked random sizes.
So somebody might be out of luck,
but certainly something to share with friends.
Here's a weird shirt that I would never wear that was gifted to me.
It's like a mesh jersey kind of deal. And I never wear that was gifted to me is it's like you know like a mesh Jersey kind of deal and I you know I never wear mesh anything
unless it's very in a very private area and this it says Nickelodeon fantasy
football Paramount Plus so so that's a very specialized item. Also, we got some headphones that I received called
Ear Force Recon 50.
Yeah, this is
a gaming headset,
and I don't game,
so I'm passing that along.
Here's a whole blanket
that says Rock of Ages
on it. Why would
anybody want it?
Unless you're cold, you know.
Here's a program I got
from the premiere of the movie
Glass Onion, a Knives
Out mystery.
Yeah. And then
also in the box, in the
crate, is a book called
The Saffron Tales.
More
stories about saffron
than you'd ever want to hear.
I don't even care if you're...
Recipes from the Persian kitchen,
so there you go.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Everyone was like,
that makes more sense.
Just stories about saffron
sounded like some real bullshit.
Doesn't seem like the greatest
jumping-off point for storytelling
that has to involve saffron
in some way. And then
one of my guests this evening, you could probably
guess if you've ever seen her
artwork, made a beautiful
original
that we will
discuss with her when she gets out here.
But I really love this thing.
I'm thinking about keeping it.
I mean, I guess since I know her, I could
commission something similar
some other time, but this one is a tribute
to Sandra Bullock.
And
she drew one picture of her that seems
like she's dead, but no, she's just in a coma.
And then she wrote
coma next to it, even though the
movie's called while you
were sleeping she just only had room for coma
sandy Bullock needs to do some shorter movie titles to fit on this sort of
thing and then I also I just brought some pins that say Doug loves movies on
them from from rockin pins and I'm just gonna oops i didn't mean to there you go you
get one there you go i don't want to hurt anybody with these things oh look at that just oh that is
very sweet he caught it right out of the air in front of her but then handed it to her anyway do
you want one sir okay here you go yeah that's what that does for you a little kind gesture and
really pays off you still get one too are you ready to meet our guests this evening
oh boy oh boy we have got a rogues gallery of legendary dlM guests plus some others.
Well, we got eight seats and eight guests.
I'm very, very happy that they all managed to get here tonight.
Please give a big warm welcome to Allison Rosen, Andrea Savage, Eric Edelstein, Jeff Tate, Josh Molina,
Kate Micucci, Sam Levine, and Taylor Rizzo,
the eight guests of Hanukkah.
They're all here.
They're all juiced up and ready.
Look at them.
Very exciting.
There's four microphones that you can pass around amongst yourselves.
I didn't want to give eight people eight microphones,
because then I'd never get to talk.
But with the four, you can share them.
Sam's already made himself a microphone captain. And I know you're holding it right out like a good captain would. You're ready to share, captain. I had a dream last night that we all got our own
microphones because of COVID. Oh, okay. Well, you know, just the ones you do have,
don't lick them. Don't do anything weird with them. And we should be all right, but there are
sanitizing wipes in the wings if you ever feel the need to clean off your business. But now it's time to meet them individually
and alphabetically.
So the Alison Rosen rule is not only in effect,
but it's actually going to benefit Alison Rosen this evening.
It's Alison Rosen, everybody!
I am so honored to have had such a lasting effect on the show so Doug had me on the show and I did not get to go first because he was then going by last name which is preposterous to me as
someone who has an a first name so I made some noise and that's how you get things changed people. Yeah. All you had
to do is speak up. Now I'm doing this ridiculous thing where it's alpha alphabetized by first name
and it's really catching on. It's really taken, taken the world by fire,
by storm. It's taken it by some weather occurrence of some sort, and I'm proud to be that tempest in a teapot.
Allison.
Yes.
Your podcasts are called?
Allison Rosen is Your New Best Friend.
And?
Childish.
And?
Upworthy Weekly.
End of tweet.
End of plugs.
Send.
End of plugs.
Anything else you want to plug?
just my podcast
and well I do have a book out
called Tropical Attire
Encouraged and Other Phrases That Scare Me
so if they need more of this
get that
crowd loves that title
so it's a great jumping off point
if you enjoyed the title you're probably going to enjoy
something else inside the
book yes to be sure uh it's a treasure trove of stuff that allison wrote down and uh is sharing
with everybody yeah it's got it all it's got punctuation it's got consonants it's got vowels
oh it's got illustrations as well for real are you kidding me oh that's my kind of book i'm excited all right so as we meet
each guest tonight i'm gonna have two questions for them the first one is what are your plugs
and uh allison just did hers and then the second question is it's that season so please recommend
a holiday film whatever holiday film means to you you know it doesn't have to be a
Hanukkah movie per se are there any what's that are there any well some would argue that yes there
are Hanukkah films die hard die hard everyone knows that is of course a Hanukkah film because if you go back
and line up the dates Hanukkah was happening during the events at Nakatomi Plaza I did not
look that up I do not know that's true fucking I'll tell you something about Hanukkah it is slippery
you know Easter's met its match because Easter moves around every year,
but it's just one day.
But Hanukkah has a whole eight-day thing
fucking traipsing around all over December.
Last year, it went into January.
It was nuts.
You can't track it.
My holiday movie is Muppet Christmas Carol.
Oh, she took the best one right out of the gate. Let's all
go home. We're not validating your parking. Muppet Christmas Carol. That is like, we've just discussed
that with somebody else on the show recently, but Michael Caine gives, I swear he gives more
in a movie with a bunch of Muppets than he does in a lot of his other films
with human actors and mechanical sharks
and swarms of bees.
See in that one?
And the soundtrack is so good.
I cannot wait for it to be relatively cold-ish
to start playing it every year oh i see so because
i was going to say it's been relatively cold no it's been more than we're in it right now
we're in it freezing this is california winter and yeah we're all suffering and uh you know i'll
throw the mask on just to keep my fucking face warm and And, yeah. But next week, I saw
I peeked ahead. I'll look ahead
at the weather. I don't mind spoilers.
And it's going to be 77
next week. Yes!
We're already back in business.
Burning to death.
Yes, Allison?
I'm just shocked that people are clapping
for that because I feel
upset that it's going to get hot again.
And I'm also upset that it's this cold.
You need it,
right?
You need to write it like 70 or 68,
somewhere around there at all times.
Yeah.
You know what?
If I see that it's in the sixties,
I'm happy with that.
Okay.
Right now it's just too cold,
but then I also don't want it to be hot.
I don't know. be hot yeah sun goes down
early too so that makes everything colder everything's super cold yeah people do your
does your audience love when you talk about the weather they love it so much that's why i dragged
this out right now because i'm just thinking of the listeners that are in the fucking coldest
places right now and they're like, move the fuck on
from this warm weather talk.
I hope your whole goddamn state burns to the ground.
I just like when it's 60s.
I don't like when it gets chillier than 60.
I can't stand it.
It's too cold.
No, but it's just a common occurrence.
You move to California.
I don't care where you're from.
You suddenly are like everybody else in California.
You just become a cold weather wussy.
Yeah, you heard me.
I'll fucking call you a wussy.
All right, so Allison Rosen,
we didn't talk about your movie that you recommended at all.
Who's your favorite Muppet
character in that one?
Oh.
Who stands out for you?
Goodness.
I apologize.
I'm sorry about the
follow-up question.
I didn't mean to.
There's a lot on the line here.
You know, I, I'm having trouble choosing a favorite, but I am remembering a scene or
where they say even the vegetables hate him.
And then they cut to like a couple of vegetables and they're like, yeah, that's, that's my
memory.
I think I like the animatronic vegetables.
I like that too.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like any little cute little thing
that the Henson Company puts eyes on
is always, it's always worth the trouble.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Inspired Marcel the Shell.
Do you see that?
No, I need to.
Yeah.
Depressing, I hear.
Yeah. Do you hear I hear. Yeah.
Did you hear that?
People laughed because it's true.
Because it's depressing?
Yeah.
Well, maybe I don't need to say it.
I don't want to be sad.
Andrea?
I saw.
I saw.
Didn't it seem like he was about to throw to you?
Yeah.
No.
No, I was going to say, speaking of depressing, I saw Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio today.
Oh.
And that is some fucked up.
That's like, they like, oh yeah, Pixar,
you always open with a child dying or losing their parents.
You always open with that.
We'll do the same, but we'll close with it as well.
We'll get you at both fucking we'll close with it as well.
We'll get you at both fucking ends.
It is so sad.
I didn't say who.
A sad person. Did somebody's parents die?
Somebody.
Okay.
It could be anybody.
Pinocchio hangs out at a lot of hospitals.
It could be the monkey.
I don't know.
I was high when I watched it.
Don't trust my take on it
all right well anyway thank you for being here Allison that's an excellent first uh first uh
choice and uh but speaking of depressing
it's been a long time since I've seen our next guest, and that is depressing.
Very nice to see you,
Queen of Tulsa, Tulsa.
Star of Tulsa King on Paramount+.
It's Andrea Savage, everybody!
Hello!
I have a thought with the order that we introduce people.
I'm thinking we go alphabetical, skip one.
What do you mean?
I'd love to get the Andrew Savage rule
to outsmart the Alison Rosen rule.
So we start with the A,
but we don't start with the AL.
We go alphabetical, skip one forward.
But you don't have to...
I don't like that idea
okay allison is on the record it's not liking that idea and i but it's seamless oh
but this isn't this isn't the tough part yeah this is there's no there's no penalties for uh
you know you can't do anything
wrong at this point so we don't need to skip you no we're not skipping me we'd start with me
we'd skip her how do we skip her it's already happened i'm saying in the future okay next time
next time you started the allison rosen rule where you start that way next time okay i'm making a
mental savage rule next year hanukkah starts on December 7th so
I'll see you then see you then look who started we'll start with you what aside
from your the show you're on Tulsa King got renewed for another season
congratulations on that. Thank you.
That's very exciting.
It's been a wild ride.
So yes, you've got to go back and make more of that.
Yeah, apparently.
In Oklahoma.
Is it all done in Oklahoma?
We shot the whole thing in Oklahoma.
Not in Tulsa.
We shot Oklahoma City for Tulsa.
Oh, okay.
If you're from Oklahoma,
it's a big problem.
Why?
Well, because the people from Tulsa don't like that we shot in Oklahoma City
because it doesn't have the things and then it's not authentic.
Yeah, they're sitting watching the show going,
that's not the street corner I walk by every day.
These liars.
Oklahoma City's big, though.
Production's really picking up there.
It's picking up there.
It actually was kind of a fun city.
It had like a little bit of a Austin feel, like a mini Austin weirdly.
Yeah, it was like a touch of purple in a sea of blood, blood red.
All right.
Is there anything else you'd like to plug in addition to that?
Because when we get to the game part, if you get eliminated, there's no time for plugs.
We just ask you to you know take your
knives and go yeah
no Tulsa King Paramount Plus
and
I'm sorry
is on
we didn't get to
finish season three but
it is on HBO Max still
thank you
watch it while you can.
HBO Max is where all the great shows are disappearing.
Exactly.
From HBO Max, so get to it right away.
But yeah, I think that's it.
All right.
Yeah.
And could you please recommend a holiday film?
I hate stuff like this.
You hate recommending stuff?
Yeah, I just...
Because you don't like the pressure of like.
It's the pressure.
Why, what does it matter to you whether somebody.
Yeah, and it's like if I don't feel passionate about it.
It's not your responsibility.
And it's like if I don't feel that passionate about it,
do I act like I feel passionate about it?
I mean, I'm a very serious dramatic actress now,
so you won't be able to tell that I'm acting.
You know what I actually did?
It's so cheesy and lame, but you know what?
I'm just going to admit it.
This is just who I am.
Accept it.
When Harry Met Sally.
Okay.
I will watch it every time it's on.
I love the Christmas scenes.
I love the New Year's where he goes running through the street,
and he goes and finds her, and I like when they get the tree.
I've always imagined I would spend Christmas
in New York City because of that movie.
I never have.
Not even once?
No, I'm from L.A.
Yeah, all right.
B. and R.
Just get in a plane and go out there sometime.
It's nice.
New York City is awesome in the Christmas time.
I was just there this week.
Oh, well there you go.
Yeah, and it was lovely.
But I didn't get a tree.
I didn't get to drag a tree uncomfortably heavy through the snow awkwardly but adorably.
Just watch The Holiday.
I hate that movie.
Cameron Diaz.
Oh, that's a controversial statement because some people love The Holiday.
Yeah, that movie sucks ass.
I hate that movie.
What?
It's just terrible
and it annoys me that people are like
oh, you gotta watch the holiday and I'm like
I finally did. I hadn't seen it and I was like
I'm gonna watch the holiday and I was like this sucks
so hard and I watched it on a plane
when things usually are better
than they should be and I still
hated it. I was so
mad. Why would Jack Black
be with that lady? Like everything about it. I was so mad. Why would Jack Black be with that lady?
Like, everything about it.
Wait, everybody's complaint is the opposite of that.
People are like, how did Jack Black get her?
Everything about that movie sucked so hard.
I hated that movie.
Yeah.
I'm laughing because I'm not a fan,
but I also know better than to stick my neck out that far.
I'm not that a ginnit.
But wait, so what movie did you say?
When Harry Met Sally.
Oh, right.
Jesus.
I got so caught up in the hate.
I haven't seen Doug in a decade, we decided.
It's been a while, yeah.
And I was like, what have you done?
He's like, all I've done is grown my hair out.
That's it.
But it looks great.
Congrats.
Mazel tov.
All right, When Harry Met Sally.
Because that's also a good New Year's Eve movie.
Great New Year's Eve movie.
Yeah, running through the streets.
Probably the number one New Year's movie. Because New Year's doesn movie. Yeah, running through the streets. Probably the number one New Year's movie.
Because New Year's doesn't have a lot of...
It's got two Poseidon adventures.
Another shitty New Year's Eve movie
that had a lot of stars in it.
There was a movie called New Year's Eve.
Yeah, terrible, right?
Made by the late, great
Gary Marshall.
Oh, that's right.
It was like his last hurrah.
Was it?
I think it might have been.
He went hurrah and then fell down dead.
What a way to go.
I was in that movie.
What?
You were great.
No one knows, though.
Oh, I see.
That would have been smart to just sneak that in there.
But I think some people wouldn't have believed you, Jeff.
But you tricked Andrea for a second there.
I'm a good dramatic actor.
Yeah.
You could be the other king of Tulsa.
You and Sylvester Stallone.
He'll kill you.
He'll kill me.
Our next guest, alphabetically by first name,
doesn't have to...
Skipping one.
What?
Skipping one.
Why do you keep saying that? by first name. Skipping one. What? Skipping one. We'll see about that.
He doesn't have twins,
but he might be peaking right now.
From Twin Peaks,
it's Eric Edelstein!
Hi, everyone. thank you thank you wife
people love you man yeah a lot a lot of wee bear bears fans in the crowd yeah yeah if you
got your funkos let's get it done yeah. And a lot of fans of the movie Green Room.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Have you seen that movie, Jeff?
I have seen it.
Yeah.
I'm a big fan.
I like to fall asleep to it.
Oh, man.
That's a first.
It's just real calming.
All right. that's a first it's just real calming alright let's not talk about that movie anymore
it's upsetting that movie
a little too prophetic yeah
well I mean you're still with us
I'm still here
another spoiler
oh somebody has a question for Eric from the audience.
Thank you.
Better?
Thank you, friend.
Thank you.
It's a little.
Appreciate it.
Now, it's a little.
I think you got a little bit of a wire issue there.
Look at that.
The Tulsa Queen.
Hell yeah.
I, you know, one less microphone, I'm all right with that.
Works out all right for me.
But thank you.
It was a sound technician in the audience caught what was happening.
Someone was in the AV club in high school and listened.
Bless you.
He alerted us.
I thought I was just a super fan of Eric's.
I was just going to dive right in with a question.
I'm here for it. Please.
What are you working on?
What do you got to plug? Well,
everyone should watch my friend Sam and I
here as the worst radio team
in 1970s Los Angeles on
Minx. Yeah.
Disappearing soon
from HBO Max. Catch it
while you can.
I think we might have a new life.
We'll see.
I know you continued shooting even after being canceled.
Yeah.
So that's always nice when that happens.
They did a cool contract thing
where they were allowed to take it somewhere else
because some of these other tax breaks,
they just have to kill the show off completely
and make sure it never airs,
which is kind of mean to creators
that put years of their life into it, but
I think Minx will live again and you can watch Sam
and I be awful people.
Yeah, and if Minx doesn't keep going, we'll just do
that for funsies. Pico and San
Vicente will just be there just being jerks.
Come on out.
I love it. Oh, now the
sound guy is back.
Thank you, friend.
That was the mic that the initial problem was with, sir.
It's not like you got a new bad microphone.
But I think somebody's back there working on it.
But anyway, Eric, thank you for being here.
And could you recommend a family, it doesn't have to be family,
but a holiday movie?
I have a good one that I just discovered,
and that one is A Holiday Affair.
Right?
So, Doug, you'll love this.
We got some supporters in the audience.
Thank you.
Appreciate you, friend.
Robert Mitchum, underrated.
Acting did not start with Brando.
We got Jimmy Stewart, we got Mitchum,
we got everyone else.
William Holden, come on.
But basically, after Robert Mitchum had his marijuana bust,
they wanted to clean up his image.
So they put him in a Christmas movie.
And it is so goddamn good.
It is seriously.
Robert Mitchum was literally a railroad hobo.
Rode the rails, got shot at in Louisiana,
and was still smoking weed every morning and they dropped
him in a Christmas movie in 1949 and it's incredible I couldn't believe it it's like
where did this guy came from another planet but he's in this nice it's on TCM and it's one of
those that's starting to air more often because I think people are interested in the weirdness of
it all I also want to give a fun Christmas fact.
The martini house from It's a Wonderful Life still stands.
It's in La Cunada.
And remember, Donna Reed and Jimmy Stewart bring wine and salt and bread.
And the original studio was torn down, but the martini house lives.
So you can go drive by it as I did recently.
And I really creeped out the lady there.
But please go.
Yeah, go watch A Holiday Affair.
You'll love it.
He's super stoned, but he's charming and wonderful.
Eric's just out in front of somebody's house.
Nice to meet you, martini house.
Tell me some of the stories about the film made here.
It's a Wonderful Life, is that what you said?
Yeah, yeah, it's there. None of the original sets are there, but the mart Life. Is that what you said? Yeah. Yeah. It's there.
None of the original sets are there, but the Martini
House lives. Right on. Right on. Yeah.
What's the name of the
Mitchum thing? A Holiday
Affair. A Holiday Affair. You're gonna love
it, friends. Truly. Does somebody have
an affair or is it more like just a
gathering? Oh, no. It's hinted at.
It's hinted at. It's Janet Leigh and he,
you know, it's the charm of Mitchum.
She goes to return a train set, and the magic happens,
and then a relationship is in question because he's a perfectly nice guy,
the guy she's with, but it's Mitchum, and he's stoned in a railroad hobo
and just getting off that arrest, so what's not to love?
All right.
Who I think is still alive.
Yeah, and then the little boy's like 84 years old.
All right, let's remember that if you don't have a microphone,
no one listening to this podcast is going to hear your part of the conversation.
I appreciate you, friend.
So what about the little boy and there is a surviving member?
Just like I realized last night, there's one surviving member of the Wild Bunch.
Yeah, pretty good, huh, friends?
Yeah.
Getting your money's worth tonight
what do you
google in your free time
too much friend I have an amazing wife
who's very forgiving
you know
is that like locked you have like a
who's still alive from bad news bears
a lot thank god a lot
I'm gonna have to deal with that grief in about 15 years.
But right now we got over 60% of that cast.
So most of them are still alive, Jeff.
Jackie Earl Haley, Oscar winner, was driving an Uber around.
Now he lives.
Yeah.
Seen him at auditions, seen him walking around the valley.
So thank God.
What about the kid who played Lupus?
I think he.
Did he die? Do we lose him?
What did he die from?
I mean...
I didn't say it. Fill in your own jokes,
everybody.
Lupus.
Alright.
Let the chanting
begin. It's Jeff Tate!
Tate!
Tate!
Hello, Jay. Hello. I think this one will work.
Hello, everybody.
Thank you.
Oh, it's nice to meet you.
I didn't think you would be coming tonight.
Thank you.
All right.
Very fun.
Yay.
Look at you.
You're so resplendent in Grandmother's couch.
Yeah, yeah.
It's so cold here.
You were just talking about it. Yeah, it it's true but it looks like a couch just you sat down
on it and surrounded you in it and then you stood up i said i sat down too hard you're just like
wearing a couch it up but it's very colorful it's pretty i like it thank you yeah i i you know i
attack what i am you'm jealous of.
Jeff Tate, what would you like to plug?
I don't know.
I got an album, and then I filmed it,
and that comes out in the spring.
How's that?
That's pretty.
Yeah, that's real good.
Yeah, that's nice and vague, so look forward to that.
Coming this spring, maybe.
I'm excited that you filmed an album.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's neat.
I'm going to get in that clicks game. You got it both ways.
You recorded it audio and with film.
Visual, yeah, audio and visual.
That guy's thing.
Yeah.
That guy knows both those things.
Oh, yeah.
He's going to get both versions probably just to contrast and compare.
The treble is a little off on this one.
I blew the treble out of my own voice
years ago.
And since
you're
you know, looks like you're taking a break from your
duties as a mall Santa, could you
could you
recommend a quote-unquote holiday film it's
first of all I love December because the other 11 months nobody thinks I look like Santa
it's never as complimentary as Santa it's always much like, are you that railroad hobo with the pot arrest?
And I'm like, that's Robert Mitchum from an earlier story.
And then December is very friendly.
People are like, you're Santa.
Then they tell me what they want.
And, you know, I try to get it for them.
I do what I can.
Like, you'll just run to the store right then?
Yeah, just run in.
Like, just say, hang on a sec.
I'll be right back.
Is it in there?
What size? Yeah. Hey, we're outside a bodega. What do you need? Yeah. run to this door right then like just hey hang on a sec i'll be right back is it in there what size
yeah hey we're outside a bodega what do you need yeah and when i was in high school my parents uh
like went out of town on christmas and left me and my brother home by ourselves
and uh so i started a thing then where i watched tommy lee jones movies every christmas like on
christmas day okay so when you said christmas movie the first thing i thought of was volcano where I watched Tommy Lee Jones movies every Christmas, like on Christmas Day.
Okay.
So when you said Christmas movie,
the first thing I thought of was Volcano.
I watched Volcano every Christmas Day for the last, like, at least 15 years.
And then earlier when I was in high school,
there was a few years in between where I didn't.
High school wasn't 15 years ago, is what I'm saying.
But I watched Volcano every...
It's such a good movie.
Some of it is near here.
There's that, you know, the cop and the...
Yeah, it's a whole Miracle Mile situation.
That's where the volcano is.
Yeah, the tar pits.
It's right over by the tar pits.
Every time I come to LA, I go to the tar pits,
and I go, Volcano was filmed here. I stop by, it's like the martini house. The tar pits. Every time I come to LA, I go to the tar pits and I go, volcano was filmed here.
I stop by, it's like the martini house.
The tar pits are still here.
That's why I say to my friends,
I'm like, what are you talking about?
Wait till you see the White House
and you start yelling about Deep Impact.
That's all I think.
I saw this blow up.
You're seeing all the places where movies were shot.
You don't care what else happened there.
Don't care.
Yeah, yeah.
So that's, I put that down.
Volcano.
Yeah, volcano.
That's your official answer.
That is my official answer.
It's under two hours.
Yeah.
You know, I don't know what's going on with the Home Alone franchise,
but I feel like I'm looking at the next Wet Bandit.
I think you're perfectly dressed for the part already.
I'll kick the shit out of that kid.
There's no 10-year-old that could take me on the planet
that you could book it.
Joe Pesci just came out.
Just recently, he didn't come out. He said
Hey, I'm out!
Hey, I'm out!
No, he
Joe Pesci
recently said that his head
got burned in that scene where they set his
head on fire. Like, what else
is happening to your head right now besides
it burning? All these
years later, he's like like my head got burned probably sounds older than that that was a more youthful version
of him but all right so you're down i got you down for volcano jeff yeah i don't know if you're
gonna regret it later but uh that's your choice for a holiday movie.
And let's move on to our next guest.
All I wrote down for his intro is,
something funny here about scandal.
It's Josh Molina, everybody!
Thank you.
Is this one on?
No rhythmic clapping, no chanting of my name.
All right.
So be it.
Thank you for lovingly ghettoizing me by bringing me out once a year come Hanukkah.
And then forgetting about me for the ensuing 12 months.
That's not what's happening.
This is my first formal Hanukkah show in many years. The one time that I did a Hanukkah show before, it was called The Eight Guests of Hanukkah, but it was three
people, like Paul F. Tompkins
and Dan Van Kirk
and somebody else playing, oh, James
Adomian, playing eight different characters
amongst them.
So it was just three people sitting there in front of the audience
but they were... Three non-Jews
playing eight Jewish characters.
Well, they weren't even Jewish characters.
It was really, it was cultural appropriation
without actually appropriating anything.
Just like, just saying the name
and then moving on from there.
But I do appreciate you coming out for this.
What do you have to plug?
I was on the West Wing 20 years ago.
Yes.
You can catch it on HBO Max.
All the episodes are streaming for a couple more minutes.
Yeah.
You got a lot of catching up to do
if you're behind on West Wing.
And I'm going to do a play in March
that I can't talk specifically about,
but I'm very excited.
And you came and saw me in a play.
By the way, it is traditional
if you enjoy your friend in a play
to stay around till the very end
and say hi afterwards.
It's true, you're right.
If you don't like a play or your friend's performance,
often you will leave and then text the person.
That's when you leave, yeah.
So that's what I was trying to do,
like prank you into thinking I didn't like it.
It worked.
Mission accomplished. I didn't like it. It worked. Mission accomplished.
I didn't completely ghost you though.
I sent you a message saying I know that I should be sticking around and saying hi after,
but I'm not.
And you took video from inside the theater, which was very illegal, but I enjoyed it.
I took the video and I yelled Hamlet several times while I was doing it.
But Josh was in a play at the Old Globe Theater in San Diego.
Which should be called the New Globe.
Yeah.
In fairness.
The Old Globe, they keep it in London.
One did blur down.
Yeah, yeah.
It blurred to the ground.
And I was living in San Diego when the first one burned down.
I have an alibi, but they rebuilt it,
and they have three stages now in a cute little area,
and one of them's in the round,
and that's what we talk about when we talk about Anne Frank.
Which sounds a lot less funny than it actually is.
Yeah. Because it has Anne Frank in the title a lot less funny than it actually is. Yeah.
Because it has Anne Frank
in the title.
Yeah, yeah.
I think it might have
affected ticket sales.
But the jokes you say about her.
It's a comedy.
Yeah, it's a very,
very funny show.
But look for Josh
in another play
that he cannot say
anything more about.
But it's also Chewy.
Oh.
I'm just going to keep it all right on
brand. Alright.
Fair enough. And would you like to
recommend a holiday
movie? I'm going to keep it on brand by
recommending the as yet
unmade Mel Gibson joint
Judas Maccabeus.
Which is a pet project.
I mean, Google it. You would
think the last person
to make a Hanukkah film
would be a filthy Jew hater
like Mel Gibson.
Right.
But it turns out
that anti-Semite Mel Gibson,
homophobic, misogynist,
domestic batterer Mel Gibson,
has a pet project,
which is the Judah McAbee story. And it makes more sense
if you scratch under the surface, the shiny surface of Hanukkah and get to the real story,
which is, I hate to blow the lid off of Hanukkah, but I'm going to do it. Most people think it's
the great Jewish Maccabean revolt against the Seleucid Greek Empire. I assume you're with me. The Syrian
Greeks in the second century BCE, before the common era. Indeed, of course, of course, of course.
They desecrated the Holy Temple in Jerusalem, and the Hasmonean revolt was against the
Seleucid Empire, but they also killed their brethren, the Hellenized Jews that had assimilated.
So really, Hanukkah, and sir, you have a keypad in the front row. Back me up on this. Hanukkah is
about a civil war, and it is celebrated by legions of Jewish Americans who don't recognize that they
would have been among those slaughtered by the heroes of the story but still enjoy Hanukkah I mean I love it
would we consider passion of the Christ a Hanukkah movie it's more of a
Christmas movie yeah well but it starts Hanukkah and then it flips. It's got Jews in it, but they don't come off great.
They don't have to come off great to be a Hanukkah movie. They are enthusiastic
Christ killers in that film.
Wait, so
you really want me to write down that thing
you were talking about? Yes, Judas Maccabees.
How do you spell it? And by the way, if he
makes it, I will read for it.
Guy's gotta work.
Alright, I'll look it up
later.
I'll follow up on that one.
Who's next alphabetically?
Oh, thank you for
asking.
Oh, yeah, I know who it is.
She lives in Guillermo del Toro's cabinet.
It's Kate Micucci, everybody.
Hey, Doug.
Hi.
It's so much fun to be here.
Oh, good.
I'm having such a great time.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
fun to be here. Oh good.
I'm having such a great time. Oh good.
Yeah.
That's the, that's we all got together just to give you
a nice night
out and to enjoy
your artwork that you
Should we
talk about it? Because back in the day
we used to have the prize bag
where all the guests would bring stuff
and so Kate went to work
on this before I had a chance
to tell her don't bring anything
but I'm so glad that she completed it
and brought it and yes
tell us what's going on
in this piece of art
well okay so I was starting to just
I wrote Doug loves movies and then I was like
popcorn movie tickets
and then like ran out of ideas for what movies, like visuals for that,
so then I just started making Sandra Bullock movies in there.
So there's Speed and Speed 2,
and I put an engagement ring for The Proposal
and a crown for Miss Congeniality,
and then I have her floating in space.
What was that movie?
Gravity.
Gravity, yeah.
Oh, that's cute.
While You Were Sleeping is my very favorite
Sandra Bullock movie,
but I couldn't fit that title,
so I just wrote Coma.
Coma.
And the heat, there's a little fire.
What's the fire for the heat?
That was before I decided to make the Sandra Bullock theme,
so I just went crazy with palm trees.
Birds and trees and movies.
Yeah, the net.
There's a net there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Little net.
And then, yeah, in Bird Box, Sandra Bullock's got the blindfold on.
I didn't see that one.
She kind of looks like the Scales of Justice lady.
But anyway, this is beautiful,
and somebody's going to take it home tonight.
Sweet.
Cherish it.
You're in one of the episodes of Guillermo del Toro's show,
what's it called?
The Cabinet of Curiosities.
Yes, and the episode I'm in is called The Outside,
and it's a Christmas episode,
so it's still very relevant this season.
Yes.
Yeah, so throw that on like on Christmas morning.
Yeah, you know what?
It's a really heartwarming tale.
If you want something a little freaky to watch on Christmas,
it's a really great thing to watch,
and Martin Starr, who also is in Tulsa King,
plays my husband, and Dan Stevens is in it and it's really fun
Yeah, I play a lady who wants to be beautiful and then she gets obsessed with this beauty cream and things don't go so great
You know, why can't Guillermo make one thing
Where everything's fine the whole time.
You know, minor conflicts, low-key.
His Pinocchio is just, anyway, I talked about that earlier.
The one where Geppetto dies?
Who said he dies?
I didn't see it, but I feel like you ruined it.
No further comment.
Exactly.
You know he's old, right?
He's an old guy the whole time.
He never stops being old.
All right, Kate, what is your...
Oh, so that's a plug.
Would you have anything else to plug?
You know, you went backwards a little ways. have anything else to plug that is a plug you know going
you went backwards
a little ways
five years ago
I put out a Christmas song
called You Got a Bike
not many people
have heard it
but it is on Spotify
yeah so just go find it
on Spotify
it's really weird
boost those
You Got a Bike listens
yeah
I like it
thanks
and holiday recommendation do you have one?
My very favorite Christmas movie is Christmas Vacation.
All right.
Yeah.
It's full of great quotes.
And I love Beverly D'Angelo.
I think she's just amazing.
She is a terrific actress.
That's National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation I learned from Sam tonight
Because we talked movies beforehand
That for $35,000 you can slap National Lampoon's
On any film
That's what the price was 20 years ago
I don't know what it is now
Yeah, it's gone down
Can you do it retroactively?
Like, for $35,000,
can I have it be called
National Lampoon's
Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio?
If I earn enough over the next year,
I'm going to rename one of my kids.
It's going to be
National Lampoon's Isabel Molina.
Because I make that kind of money.
Tyler Perry's.
Guillermo del Toro's.
Ruth's Chris.
All right. Who's up next? thank you kate thank you great artwork
i took pictures of it before i have to give it away so that i can
you know share it with people on the internet and whatnot um the ma'am, Lil Wolverine,
Lohrgan, whatever you want to call him.
It's Sam Levine,
everybody!
Oh, hello.
Thank you.
Is this microphone working?
Great. Great. Thanks so much.
Yeah, you're checking with our backup sound tech?
Yep. Yeah, He's on it.
Actually, he's my buddy. He follows me everywhere to make sure everyone can hear me.
It's very important to me. I'm not a tall man. You know, I got to speak up.
Oh, my God. How's it going, Sam?
It's good, Doug. How you doing?
I'm doing all right. I'm glad you got a microphone that sounds good.
Thanks, pal.
We got a crack team here at Largo. It takes care of us.
I appreciate them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Someone applauded.
Someone tried to get the applause going.
Sam, what's going on with you of late that you could promote?
Well, I mean, a couple months ago, as you know, I got married.
I can't really promote that other than to just like brag about it.
Hey, get married, everybody. Because I really love my wife. you know, I got married. I can't really promote that other than to just like brag about it. Hey, get married, everybody.
Because I really love my wife.
Sam Levine recommends
getting married.
Thanks.
Yeah, I do.
Especially if you find
someone smarter than you.
Oh, hell yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's no question.
Right?
I don't know.
She's so smart.
I don't know how I fooled her
into marrying me,
but I'll leave that one
to the judge.
I don't know.
She's got one dumb spot.
Just one. Right? Just that one blind spot
and the rest of it is pure
brilliance and
she probably knows more
trivia than you. There's no question she does.
Yeah.
She's here tonight, guys, but we're not gonna
make her do something.
Yeah.
No, so that's what's going on.
And then Minx, they canceled that.
So that's been fun.
But I did learn from Eric tonight that it probably is going to land somewhere else.
And that's very exciting.
Oh, you didn't know that prior to this evening?
No, he's my man on the inside.
This is breaking news.
Yeah.
His real name is Eric Edelstein Minx.
You know that he's a ridiculously optimistic person, right?
I did know that.
Yeah, you might want to keep that
in mind when you're
factoring in the
continuing
success of that show.
That show really is terrific
and you guys are so funny on it.
Thanks, dude. So what's your
holiday recommendation,
Sam?
It's much like Jeff Tate associates volcano with Christmas. I'm going to recommend the mini driver Chris O'Donnell classic Circle of Friends.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because, you know, nothing says Christmas to me like Dublin in the 50s.
Nothing says Christmas to me like Dublin in the 50s.
And what the hell's going on back there? Some sort of unwanted pregnancy in that movie or something?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
You remember it.
That's fun.
Yep, it's super fun.
Very Christmassy.
I mean, it covers a lot of time, so at some point the characters celebrate Christmas.
Oh, okay.
So that's got to count, right?
All right.
Sure.
Okay. Okay. Oh, okay. So that's got to count, right? Alright. Sure. Okay.
Circle
of friends.
You got it. Alright.
Thanks, Sam. Hey, that's been my absolute pleasure.
I knew you'd have
like a couple of sentences to say about
the movie, so I used it while you were talking
as an opportunity to jump on the computer
because a little thing had popped up
on the logo on the screen up there.
Some sort of little thing saying,
do you want to do this now? And I clicked on later.
Okay. And I fixed it.
That's the most AV
tech thing I've ever fucking done in my life.
Where was our guy on that?
I don't know, but I saw a situation
I took care of. He's just A, no V.
I see.
He's in the A club.
There's no V club in that school.
They couldn't afford it.
Sam, I'm not saying that you're...
Also sounds like ass and vagina.
Sam, I'm not saying that you're part of the show
is getting a chilly reception,
but Kate put on a coat.
That's tough, but fair. I mean, I talked about a movie it's not really christmasy
you know i bragged about my wife but i'm the only one who gets to be married to her that's fine kate
i understand it doesn't have to be christmasy but do you did you did any hanukkah movies enter
your brain i mean there's the one there's eight crazy nights that's the one about it i cannot
name another okay i know a hallmark finally did a a hanukkah movie oh what was that called i i don't
know what hanukkah my brother-in-law is the one who pushed the hanukkah movies at hallmark and he
produced all the like all the hanukkah movies that they've done. That's about time. You hear that, Josh?
Yeah.
The Jews deserve terrible movies as well.
That's right, we do.
Side note, just occurred to me,
if I had 35 grand,
National Lampoon's Birth of a Nation.
I could release that
and bring it to a whole new generation.
All right. Here you go. whole new generation. Alright.
There you go.
We're cooking now. We're down to
one last guest.
Yeah.
He's been waiting so patiently.
He's the dab king
from Getting Doug with High, exclusively
on Patreon. My friend
Taylor Rizzo is here.
Hey, what's up, everybody?
Hey, buddy.
How you doing?
I'm good.
You've just been sitting back there so polite.
Yeah, thanks a lot, Allison.
I would have been just before you if it wasn't for you.
Yeah.
Yeah, the Taylor Rizzo thing.
Take this up with your parents.
Yeah, yeah.
I only have one.
I don't like to name you Taylor.
They could have named you Aaron with double A's, Rizzo,
and then you would have been sitting pretty tonight.
But instead, you get to recommend a movie last.
But first, what kind of plugs do you have in store for us this evening?
Oh, yeah.
I just want to say this out loud.
I got to act in my first movie recently.
Yeah.
That was exciting.
It won't be out for who knows how long.
So I'm just proud of myself.
Just wanted to say that out loud.
Does it have a title?
It does.
It's called
It's the birth of a nation?
Yes.
Tyler Perry's birth.
Yeah, it's called
The Late Game.
It's a hockey movie.
Yeah.
One of only maybe 13
in existence total.
Yeah, we figured out recently
there's only a dozen
hockey movies.
Yeah.
Excited to be a part
of that there's a few that like you know kind of have hockey in them yeah the love guru it's tricky
well that yeah that's certainly one of them lethal weapon three holy shit
thanks jeff the cutting edge that's right. Yeah. Yeah, Cutting Edge.
D.B. Sweeney's a hockey player.
And in Ice Castles, Robbie Benson's a hockey player.
So, yeah, whenever there's this ice skating movie,
there's hockey players hanging around
because they know how to skate, too.
Don't get me started about Ice Castles, though.
That's a good Christmas movie
that's a really good Christmas movie
you know Ice Castles
the movie where a girl
falls down skating and hits her head
so she goes blind
and then she and her boyfriend decide
she's going to compete in the Olympics anyway
but not tell anybody that she's blind
this is real
I dedicated I dedicated a nine minute track to it tell anybody that she's blind. This is real.
I dedicated a nine-minute track to it on one of my albums.
I'll just tell you the ending.
She's in some sort of regional competition to try to get to the Olympics, and she does well, and she's skating around after her routine, and people are throwing roses and teddy bears onto the ice.
Cool.
And so she trips and falls on her face.
And then Robbie Benson skates out onto the ice and lifts her up and says,
We forgot about the flowers.
Does she get more blind?
Or does it fix it?
What's that?
Like when she falls at the end?
No, no.
It's not like an amnesia movie where she hits her head
and is not blind anymore. That was the ending I No, no. It's not like an amnesia movie where she hits her head and is not blind anymore.
That was the ending
I was hoping for.
But instead,
they just sort of laugh,
like, yeah,
we didn't think of those.
That's the last line?
Yeah, pretty much, yeah.
The credits go up
in between the two of them
laughing, like,
ha, ha, ha.
And the credits,
through the eyes of love anyway
that's why when you go to hockey games
now they say don't throw anything on the ice
one of these players might be blind
secretly I've always
wondered why they say that
yeah they're keeping the secretly blind safe
yeah you don't know which one of these guys is blind
oh and Val Kilmer sk which one of these guys is blind.
Oh, and Val Kilmer skates and plays hockey and is blind in a movie called...
At First Sight.
At First Sight.
At First Sight.
I was going to call it Love at First Sight,
and Sam was going to fix that problem.
Come on.
Immediately.
It's called At First Sight, Doug.
Well, Taylor, the weight of everything is on you right now.
One last holiday movie recommendation.
You're making a face like you don't know what to say.
No, I know what I'm going to say.
Okay.
I'm going to say a movie that doesn't really get lumped in with Christmas movies often,
but it's one of my favorites, Just Friends. Okay. I'm going to say a movie that doesn't really get lumped in with Christmas movies often, but it's one of my favorites, Just Friends.
Okay.
Ryan Reynolds.
Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart is in there.
Yeah.
And very funny Anna Faris performance.
One of my favorites of hers, yeah.
In that film.
Yeah.
All right.
Just Friends.
Alright, just friends Do you think
It's a little
It's one of those fat suit movies
So do you think it's maybe a little fat shamey?
I don't mean to put you on the spot Taylor
Someone else can take the question instead
No, as someone who used to weigh 260 pounds and lost a lot of weight,
yeah, it's still fat-shaming.
But that's why you like it, because you really relate to it.
You're like, yeah, I lost a lot of weight, too.
Yeah, I lost a lot of weight and became an asshole that lives in L.A.
You live in that Ryan Reynolds
dream.
I like to think that I'm Ryan Reynolds from
Just Friends, yeah. I love it. That's a fun
movie. I really do like that movie.
Yeah, I rent a Porsche every once in a while.
You guys
haven't seen the movie.
That's a pretty specific reference
to the movie.
I saw The Whale, speaking of, yeah,
and I just got to say,
don't eat before you see that movie,
and don't eat after you see that movie.
Just see that movie, and then stop eating
for the rest of your life.
It's gross and weird.
And let's move on.
It's called The Whale.
I never thought about it until right now.
That's so fucking rude.
No, man.
It is.
I mean, it's about an obese man who's killing himself by eating too much.
Yeah, but... It's messed up.
Just call it his name, Paul Blart or whatever.
Paul Blart 3, food court.
His name's not Paul Blart.
But they call him the whale.
He doesn't have a fun name like that.
Look at this fucking whale.
He's not the subject.
The title isn't like calling him the whale.
It's a, he's not the subject. It's not, the title isn't like calling him the whale. It's a literary reference to,
they talk about Moby Dick a lot in the movie
and the play that this movie was based on.
The movie kind of feels like a play
and it's very, it's very fat-suit-y.
We know how much you love theater laughter laughter

All right.
But I think an easy way to tell somebody
if they're going to like the whale or not
is it's very Darren Aronofsky,
if that makes any sense to anybody.
If you like his movies, you'll probably be all right with it.
And if you don't like it,
then seek entertainment elsewhere.
And thank you, everybody,
for all those recommendations.
People have some stuff they can, you know,
try to check out over the next couple of weeks if you have
some time off.

game shows. You're good at that stuff.
Kate is playing for
X Christmas
vacay who?
Vacay what?
Vacay Broom. Oh, for Abram, yeah. Abr what? VK Broom.
Oh, for Abram, yeah.
Abram.
VK Broom.
Sam's playing for Team Erica.
America.
America.
America.
Marijuana police.
Marijuana police.
Instead of world police.
And Taylor is playing for EJ.
Our audience technician EJ,
who's been here for us and was very helpful.
All right, so this game we're gonna play first
is just a quickie little game to determine who's gonna go first in the
next game we're gonna play. Yeah, it's important. Sam knows.
But who goes first in this game?
Nobody goes first in this game, Josh. It's a jump ball situation. Yeah.
Whether you have a microphone or not,
the person who wins this game called Live, Die, Repeat.
The person,
I was just looking out for an audience reaction
to that title.
Let's play Live, Die, Repeat.
A.K.A. Edge of Tomorrow.
And I'm going to say the title of a motion picture out loud.
The first person on stage who repeats back the full and correct title that I'm saying wins this game.
Wait, that sounds too easy. Well, there's eight of you,
so good luck. Every time somebody guesses, because you can guess as often as you'd like,
but when you guess, if it's wrong, I'll go back to the beginning of the title. Yeah, get ready to share microphones.
Wait, I'm sorry, question.
You're going to say a title slowly and whoever completes it?
Whoever says the whole thing.
Okay.
I promise you, Allison, it's not going to be The Godfather.
Yeah, you really narrowed it down there. That's the only one i know wait a minute is it
the godfather i mean i didn't know why you're sitting there making promises it's true you're
not sure if it's the godfather or not and what are the odds allison i take it back it's probably
the godfather no that's too far the other way. It's not probably The Godfather.
It's potentially The Godfather.
Out of a million titles, it's possibly The Godfather.
Does anyone else want to pre-guess The Godfather?
Clear and present danger.
That's a fun pre-guess, but that is not correct.
Does anybody else have any other pre-guesses?
National Lampoon.
That would be fun.
That would be fun if that happened.
The Godfather.
This isn't a National Lampoon movie.
All right, here we go.
Taylor, you could probably just hand Josh your mic
He handed it to me
Okay, then just put it on the floor
I'm kidding, I'm kidding
I'm kidding
No faith
Alright, here we go
Sorority Sorority.
Sorority girls.
No.
Sorority house.
No.
Sorority babes.
In.
Las Vegas.
Sorority babes in the slime ball bowl.
Rama.
Rama.
Good job.
Sorority girls in the slime ball game.
Rama.
game ball-rama.
Sorority babes
in the
slime
ball
bowl. I don't understand this game.
I don't understand it either. At all.
Literally at all. Can't follow it.
Sorority girls
in the slime ball game-o-rama.
Sorority girls in the slime ball gamorama Sorority girls in the slime bowl Are we just repeating after you?
Sorority girls in the slime ball gamorama
It's babes
Sorority babes in the slime ball gamorama
Lamma, lamma, lamma, lamma
Sorority babes
In the slime ball bowl.
Sorority babes in the slime ball bowl-o-rama.
Sorority babes in the slime ball bowl-o-rama.
Sorority babes in the slime ball bolo-rama.
Sorority babes in the slime ball bolo-rama.
Sorority babes in the slime ball bolo-rama.
Sorority babes in the...
You can't just say the word I just said.
You have to start at the beginning.
Okay, because this game makes so much sense.
Sorority Babes...
Sorority Babes in the Slime Ball Bowlerama.
Sorority Babes...
How do you concede in this game? Serenity base in the slime ball-a-rama 2.
Serenity base in the slime ball-a-rama 2.
Taylor got it.
Yeah!
Oh, I needed that.
All right, let's do one more for fun.
Clear and clear. The Godfather.
Oh, you got it.
Ah!
Oh, you got it. Ah!
Alright, Taylor,
great job, buddy.
Yeah, you did it.
Yeah, proud of myself.
The only game I could win, by the way.
Really?
Yeah, I could say the words that you said back to you.
You really did Yeah
No one else did
I mean, Sam did
Just slower
Yeah
Sam's gonna go back and listen to the tape for sure
No, it's alright
I saw my coach, he didn't throw the challenge flag in
So I'll take his word for it
Okay, that's fair.
Okay, so that means that Taylor gets to go first in our first of two games.
It really means something. That last thing was just being silly.
But now that did determine that Taylor is going first in our first game.
Then it's going to go to Josh, then to Kate.
We're going to cruise around that way, go around in a circle.
And you're going to take turns guessing something.
And if you guess incorrectly, you'll be eliminated from the proceedings
but there's snacks backstage
yeah if you want to hang out
you're more than welcome to do so
we'll narrow it down to just four of you
and then we'll take a break
and the last game will be between the remaining
players I think everyone can have their own take a break, and the last game will be between the remaining... Will you eliminate two microphones at that point?
...players.
I think everyone can have their own
when we get down to four.
It's going to be exciting.
Kate cannot wait to stop sharing with Jeff.
Okay.
This game we're going to play
is called Top Gun Mazel Tov.
Top Gun Mazel Tov.
The good people
at Good Housekeeping Magazine
online,
experts that they are in all things Jewish and cinematic,
they have compiled a list of the 15 best movies to watch during Hanukkah with the whole family.
Yeah, best and Hanukkah with the whole family. Yeah.
Best and Hanukkah and the whole family
are terms that apply quite loosely to their list.
So none of those things,
maybe they'll be helpful clues,
but basically the idea is
I have 15 movie titles in front of me that are
alleged Hanukkah films according to good housekeeping so Taylor Rizzo I'm gonna
ask you see coming in first so that last thing hasn't worked out so great for you, has it? Because now you have to name a Hanukkah movie that's on this list of 15 Hanukkah movies available for streaming.
So don't get ahead of yourself. Don't pick something really current like Babylon.
pick something really current like Babylon.
Do you have any ideas?
Before you say a title,
do you have any kind of ideas of what... Is a Hanukkah movie?
What might be a Hanukkah movie, yes.
What might be one?
Eight Crazy Nights?
That would be an example.
I'm asking you,
do you have any examples in your mind?
Not to give me an actual answer yet.
I'm so confused right now.
When do we give you answers?
I'm going to ask you to name a movie. Eight Crazy Nights is a great example.
When I ask you to name a movie, you could just repeat that back to me.
But the question I was putting to you was, you could just repeat that back to me but the question I was
putting to you was can you think of Hanukkah movies and then you said eight crazy nights
yeah that's the only one you could think of no I got one other one oh okay but I shouldn't say
that right now no no don't don't don't listen to Josh. You can say it. Do not listen to Josh.
Josh is the devil on one shoulder.
Eric is your angel on the other shoulder.
One shoulder is a lot heavier than the other.
It's one.
No, but okay, just go ahead and give me your answer.
What's your answer?
I'm sorry I asked you that question before.
Just name a movie you think might be a Hanukkah movie Eight Crazy Nights
that is correct
I was trying to build up
to your answer instead of just getting it
right there because I already knew that of course
it is
not only on the list
it's number one
number one
yeah it's not such a wonderful life on the list is number one. Number one. Yeah.
It's not such a wonderful life?
Seems like that would be
a Hanukkah movie.
So that was really all
you had, Josh?
No, I mean,
I know some Jewy movies.
I don't think they're Hanukkah-ish. I mean, I know some Jewy movies.
They're Hanukkah-ish.
But I also don't think anybody after me is going to
come up with one either.
Well, that's the issue here,
is the absolute lack of
Hanukkah entertainment.
No, I understand the game.
Unlike the last game. This one I get.
Gosh. I don I get. Gosh.
I don't know.
The Frisco Kid.
It's a chewy movie.
That is.
It's a great guest.
I like that movie very much.
Good movie.
Gene Wilder.
Harrison Ford.
And very enjoyable, but I'm sad to say.
It's not about Hanukkah.
It is great to watch with the whole family on Hanukkah.
Yeah, I think it would be an excellent choice, in fact,
but did not make a good housekeeping list.
I'm sorry to say.
What kind of snacks are there?
I'm sorry to say.
You're going to find out right now.
Give it up for Josh Malina, everybody.
Oh, my goodness.
Josh Malina, everybody.
Oh, my goodness.
I mean, I had him... What happens when we all get eliminated?
I had him pay for...
Well, I said we're going to narrow it down to four,
and those four are probably going to be
Allison, Sam, Eric, and Taylor,
if I had to guess.
But let's see how this shakes out.
Taylor if I had to guess but let's see how this shakes out.
Kate,
what have you got
for a Hanukkah movie?
This is the movie that's just
been in my head since you
said it.
Up.
Up is a Hanukkah movie?
No.
It's delightful. It's delightful.
It's delightful.
It's got balloons.
It's nice for the whole family.
Yeah.
I know it's not a Hanukkah movie.
I got nothing.
I don't even think the old guy in it is Jewish.
The way he complains, he's Jewish.
Bitches and moans about everything.
That's a Jew if I've ever seen one.
Thank you.
I wish Up was on here, Kate.
I really do.
You're such a great guest
and you brought this amazing artwork.
I'm sorry I didn't win for you,
but have fun, everybody.
Yay!
Kay Meguchi!
She's off to someplace warm.
This is brutal.
Jeff Tate,
I hate the way this is going down.
Just everybody doesn't know Hanukkah movies.
I'm trying to make a point this evening that Hanukkah is under celebrated in film if Jews are in
charge of show business why is why don't we know more than one Hanukkah movie
Jeff I'm asking you wait why did my question get harder?
This is a real fucking tightrope you got me on here, man.
It probably has something to do with the marketplace.
I don't know. I didn't...
Do you think you have any...
No, of course not.
Any ideas of what might be considered a Hanukkah movie?
I'm going to say Fiddler on the Roof.
I mean, people are excited for that answer.
And it is, of course, a classic musical about Jewish people.
And does Hanukkah happen in it? It does not. No. I don't think it does. No, itukkah happen in it it does not no I
don't think it does no it doesn't happen in it I'm sorry but yeah it's number 11
on the Thank you.
I like to bring the cultures together.
It's right there on that guy's shirt.
It's right there on his sweatshirt,
right in the front row.
Now, I feel like some of these movies might not be Hanukkah themed by the by
your question phrasing in the beginning yeah I tried to float out the idea yeah
there aren't any Hanukkah movies so Or maybe a few of them do have some Hanukkah in them.
Eight Crazy Nights
is a lot of Hanukkah.
I assume Schindler's List
isn't something that people
are going to get around.
Guys, don't act like
that's not a Jewish movie.
The Jews have had
terrible things happen.
Let's not pretend
it didn't happen.
But that's not my guess.
Oh, God.
I'm going to go with just a holiday classic
and just go with It's a Wonderful Life.
I mean, you can't really go wrong
with something that has nothing to do with...
Yeah, I'm going with nothing to do with Hanukkah.
Nothing to do with Jews or Hanukkah.
Good housekeeping.
Come on, baby.
Merry Christmas, synagogue.
Merry Christmas, Jewish preschool.
Remember that deleted scene?
I'll be right back.
I got to put on my yarmulke.
I got to put more guilt in the stockings.
Who else has a terrible Jimmy Stewart impression?
That's who we were doing, right?
That's who we were doing. Okay, go ahead, Jeff.
I'm Jimmy Stewart.
That is terrible.
That was not good, Jeff.
That is terrible. I wish I was giving out
terrible points.
Because you deserve one.
What do you think, Andrea? Any idea what might
I guess.
She's just in a wonderful life.
I guess a non-Hanukkah thing.
Oh, right, right, right.
It's a wonderful life.
I'm going the opposite.
I was subconsciously trying to give you another chance.
Yeah, I get it.
But yes, unfortunately, Frank Capra probably wasn't thinking about Hanukkah at all.
Well, I don't think he was.
I just thought good housekeeping was.
When he came up with that one.
But thank you so much, Andrea Savage, everybody.
I can't believe, no, is it my turn?
What's that?
Is it my turn?
It's going to be, yeah, but what were you going to say?
You can't believe what?
It had to do with my turn, so I'll wait.
Oh.
I'll wait until it's officially my turn.
It is your turn. Okay, I can't believe no one said
the following movie yet. Oh, the movie you're about
to say? Yeah. You're confident that it's going to be
on this list? And I'll be shocked
if it's not. Right.
I can think of two Dewey movies
and it's one of them. Okay.
That I think could be on there.
All right. Yentl.
You've got Eric in the back row all upset.
There's one other that could be on there.
Because he probably thought of Yentl as well.
But here's the terrible, terrible news.
It's not streaming.
Is that...
I think that might be the crux of it.
That might be why it didn't make the list.
Oh, my God!
Because Yentl is not on the list.
I'm so sorry.
Allison Rosen, everybody.
I'm sorry.
Keep it going for Allison.
That is bullshit.
It's such bullshit.
Absolutely.
Yentl is,
everyone knows it's one of the top
movies about Hanukkah
where Hanukkah doesn't get mentioned.
This feels like they asked my mom
to name 15 Hanukkah movies
and she's just like,
feather on the roof.
There's Jewish people
in that.
Jeff, you want to go ahead and just move to the back row?
Yeah, okay.
Yeah.
I was going to remove some chairs and stuff, but this is perfect.
You could just scoot right over there to a back row seat.
It's fun leaving this row here so that we could do the stairs.
We could do all sorts of having a row in front of us.
Okay, just sit down.
Yeah, okay.
Look at the clock, Jeff.
People have lives.
All right.
I feel bad that they're not here to hear this,
the people that just got eliminated by not knowing any of these,
but here goes.
At number 15, a motion picture called Holiday Date.
Yeah, oh, somebody was wistful.
Somebody was excited about it.
Somebody knows Holiday Date.
Then the Coen Brothers movie, A Serious Man.
Managed to sneak in there.
You could also have Lebowski with Walter.
3,000 years of beautiful tradition from Moses to Sandy
Koufax. You're goddamn right. I'm fucking
Jewish.
Yeah.
That's the worst Jimmy Stewart
yet. Well, stop it,
Greg.
Number 13,
Crossing Delancey.
All the pickle merchants know that one. Crossing Delancey. All the pickle merchants know that one.
Crossing Delancey.
And then number 12, the lack of imagination of these good housekeeping people.
Number 12, an American pickle.
I don't think that's on streaming anymore.
I think they pulled it.
Oh, they might have pulled it?
Well, anyway, Seth Rogen in American Pickle.
Then we, of course, had Fiddler on the Roof.
Then a motion picture called Double Holiday,
which sounds like Christian, Jew, what are we going to do?
We'll have a double holiday.
Couldn't just be the one night of Hanukkah that's also on Shabbos?
Back me up, Josh.
That's what it is. He's gone.
Josh is gone. Nope, nobody to back
me up.
Have you seen that movie Shabbos, baby?
Then at number
nine, we've got our good
friend Fievel, American
Tale. American
Tale, of course.
Then at number eight, Seth Rogen.
If he makes a movie, it gets on the list.
The Night Before.
Very Jewish
Hanukkah thing.
And then
number seven, something called
what is that
word?
Circumcised.
Bar mitzvah. Circumcised. Bar mitzvah.
Circumcised for the holidays?
That's not it.
There it is.
Hitched for the holidays.
I don't know what they're hitched to.
Number six, Little Fockers.
Little Fockers.
Yeah, so Barbra Streisand makes a list somewhere.
Number five, this one is sad.
Number five on a list of Hanukkah movies.
All I Want for Christmas.
Is to be Jewish.
Because it's about a Jewish kid and how he feels left out.
But still, that title.
Yikes.
Yikes.
And then number four.
The Hebrew Hammer.
Yeah!
Wow.
That was my freaking guess.
That was the second one that I had, but I didn't think there was any way it was on the list.
I'm so glad they made the list.
I was really panicked there for a second.
Number three, Mistletoe and Menorahs.
Some of these feel kind of lifetime-y, you know, kind of streaming.
And then number two, something called Full Court Miracle.
Yeah, do you know that one, Sam?
I do.
That's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar fights a bunch of robots.
No, I have no idea.
Wow, it really sounded like you knew that one.
I was like, yeah, that does sound like a Hanukkah movie to me.
He's a judge.
It's a different court.
Karina Dojabar is a judge in this one.
It's great.
You should see it.
We're going to take another break.
We'll be right back.
We're back.
Woo!
We're back!
Woo! Woo!
We are in the final stretch.
We've narrowed it down to the four best trivia players
in the room on this stage this evening.
But there is some formidable competition up here,
so congratulations to all of you.
Now we are gonna play super last person standing.
Look at the pained expression on Sam's face.
Sam, you got this.
Or maybe you don't.
Last person standing,
we normally would get a suggestion
or two or three or four from the audience,
and then we'd take turns saying movies
that those people were in.
But tonight, I want to give the four of you guys
a little bit of control.
So each of you, we'll start with Sam,
is going to name an actor or actress
that you would like to use in this game.
Everybody gets to guess.
You can name movies from the other actors
chosen by the other people on stage,
but the idea is to pick one for yourself
that you'd know a lot of their movies.
And they have to be Jewish.
And no closeted Jews.
It has to be ones we know about.
Ha ha ha!
ones we know about.
Sam, we'll start with you.
Very strategic player.
Yeah.
Couldn't pick something interesting?
I think so. I'm going to go with my favorite Jewish actor.
His name is Sam Levine.
He's saying Sam Levine. I knew this was going to happen.
What kind of sneaky business is this?
He's only okay, guys. Hasn't been in that many things.
All right, so Sam. I don't know, Sam. This feels like cheating.
I didn't make the rules you did.
I would have chosen someone else, but he had to be Jewish.
I mean, I don't know what you think of.
That's true. If it didn't have to be Jewish did. I would have chosen someone else, but he had to be Jewish. I mean, I don't know what you think of. That's true.
If it didn't have to be Jewish, you had so many more options.
But, oh, somebody's got a lovely music box.
Music box in their pocket.
They're like, if I interrupt a live show,
I'm going to at least do it in a very pleasant way.
People around me might do
pirouettes.
Eric,
are you going to follow suit and do
what Sam just did and
say Sam Levine?
I'm going to go Jake Johnson.
Oh! Good friend of yours?
I may know
his canon of work. And you know his films?
Yeah. You know your buddy's films.
All right.
Jake Johnson.
Eric Edelstein.
Taylor.
Yeah.
I just, to give myself a chance,
I feel like I have to just say Adam Sandler.
Okay.
We're going to be here for a while.
Jeff?
I mean, if this game was just name a Jewish actor, I'd be out.
Like, I'm locked up.
I don't... Well, tell us one of your favorite actors and we'll
tell you their Jewish name.
There's a new game.
Oh my god.
I don't know.
You know what I mean?
You love Kurt Russell. Do you know his real name?
No.
Kurt Russellstein.
Can I play him? No. Kurt Russellstein. Okay.
Can I play him?
No.
I don't think he's Jewish.
I was just having some fun.
Yeah?
Paul Rudd.
Why'd you help him?
I love Jeff.
Yeah, but I was about to suggest that Adam Sandler, Sam Levine, and Jake Johnson, that feels like enough
for us to successfully play this
game. That's good. So you're off the hook,
Jeff. Thank God. I already forgot who I said.
Yeah, well, we don't need...
We love Paul Rudd, but we don't...
Oh, yeah, Paul Rudd. It's going to take us forever
if we lock out...
if we lock that out.
I'm clueless about Jewish actors.
Oh, I see what you're doing.
I see what's happening.
All right, you sneaky, sneaky man.
All right.
Sam and Eric have a lot to say to each other right now.
A lot of cheating going on.
Eyes on your own paper.
Sam likes to write them down on a piece of paper.
But that still helped me to keep track of which ones we've said already
in case it gets out of control.
Oh, by the way, I play along on this game.
Just to be a bit of a spoiler, if possible.
So, yeah, it's going to go then me then Jeff then Taylor then Eric can't
think of one of any of those three actors Adam Sam or Jake Johnson if you
can't think of one you're out but you do have your lifeline is the person whose
name tag you chose you can go to them once for help. Did we add a fourth actor or no?
We did not.
That was all that discussion about not adding a fourth one.
Barbara Streisand.
You don't want that, Jeff.
You don't want that kind of heat, man.
You're joking around, Jeff, but you do not want that.
I don't want it, no.
You would not fare well in the films of Barbara Streisand.
I know one.
They're on the roof.
Is that wrong?
All right.
As always, everybody in the audience was fantastic tonight.
I know helping out with answers at this stage can get very intense.
And we're also going to try to finish this game
in three minutes.
Yeah, I'm looking at the clock,
and I think 9.57 is a good time to end the show.
No, we'll see how long it takes.
We'll find out.
We'll find out.
Sam, if you had to say,
because I don't think you'd know an exact number,
films you've been in,
how many ballpark it?
A dozen or so.
Oh, okay.
All right.
So if I say a bunch of your movies, that might...
Yeah, you'll be chipping away at my, you know, my whole cards.
Okay.
I like it.
Yeah.
Oh, cool.
I'm excited.
Sam Levine, your first name of film featuring yourself
or Jake Johnson or Adam Sandler?
Very well.
Let's be cops.
Ooh, he took a Jake Johnson away from his very good friend,
Eric Edelstein.
And I, of course, have to start saying Sam Levine movies.
Because that, I mean mean I hope I don't
fuck him up though because Sam will be the
first to tell me if I got it
wrong like if I said
if I you know if I went
if I transfixed wet
and hot American
summer
so what did you say though
I said
wet hot American summer.
That's correct.
Yay, I did it.
Jeff?
The Mummy.
Jake Johnson is in that movie.
Oh, okay.
Jake Johnson, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Am I thinking of the right guy?
Maybe not.
I don't know. Why the right guy? Maybe not.
I don't know.
Why did everybody fucking... Maybe not.
He's in The Mummy with Tom Cruise.
Jake Johnson.
He's in the Tom Cruise one.
Is it?
Yeah, okay.
Eric's confirming that.
He's in the Tom Cruise Mummy movie.
There you go.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Is it called The Mummy Returns or is it...
No, no.
No, it's just The Mummy.
Yeah.
Done.
Yeah.
Well done, Greg.
Well done.
Have a little more...
Yeah, yeah.
Have some confidence, Jeff.
I was fully confident and then the entire room stonewalled me.
Because you're asking the audience to give your answers during a game show.
No, not an answer.
Just whether or not you were right.
Yeah, you're like, is he the guy I'm thinking of?
Which is what they ask on Jeopardy all the time.
They turn to the audience and go, hang on, Ken. Who is it I'm thinking of? Which is what they ask on Jeopardy all the time. They turn to the audience and go,
hang on, Ken. Who is it I'm
thinking of?
Hang on, I gotta do
some more tech work.
Cannot connect.
Oh, there we go.
I like to chip in. I'll probably get in trouble with the union though
alright
where are we
oh Taylor
Inglorious Bastards
that's right
Sam Levine
not another teen movie
look at him go holy Guys, I knew this would happen.
Look at him go.
Holy shit.
Oh, I knew this would.
It's all right.
Most of my fine indie work will never be seen by anyone other than me and my mother.
Back to me already?
You make your mother watch everything you do?
I don't make her.
She's a supportive Jewish mother.
You were so good in that movie.
When are they going to release it?
Never.
Never.
Okay, go ahead, Sam.
You know, it is my favorite of the Hanukkah movies,
Eight Crazy Nights.
Oh, okay.
That's smart.
Oh, we're doubling back and saying movies
that have already been mentioned this evening. That's smart. Oh, we're doubling back and saying movies that have already been mentioned this evening.
That's kind of fun.
But I'm going to go with Pulse,
starring Sam Levine.
That's correct.
We're going to need a year, though,
because there are multiple films with the name Pulse.
Oh, yeah, there's so many Pulses.
Pulse is a popular title for a movie.
It really is. Yeah, because it just makes you think, oh, that's so many pulses. Pulse is a popular title for a movie. It really is.
It just makes you think, oh, that's going to be
exciting.
The movie's not called Dead Pulse.
I'm going to need the
original Japanese title
of the film.
Oh,

Hotel Transylvania.
Oh, no.
Eric?
Digging for Fire.
Another Jake Johnson movie.
Hotel Transylvania 2.
Yeah, I wish I knew the exact title of the third one,

So instead, I'm going to say...
Oh, shit.
Sandman.
What's happening?
Oh, murder mystery. What's happening? Oh, Murder Mystery.
Yeah, right?
Pretty amazing title, Jeff.

Mixed nuts.
The Ridiculous Six.
Oh, that's right.
Yes.
Very good.
I don't want to say this wrong, so I'm going to go to my lifeline.
Taylor's going to his lifeline.
EJ, what do you got for him?
Jurassic World.
Jurassic World has Jake Johnson in it.
Jurassic World?
Yeah.
Very nice.

Isn't the whole movie about fighting?
It is.
No, it's like a...
No, I know.
I've seen it.
No one else has seen it, just you and me.
Let's talk about it.
Never mind.
All right, let's go.
Jack and Jill.
We got to hurry this along.
This isn't a bunch of
bedtime stories.
Jeff.
Jeff.
Oh my God.
Okay. Dirty work. Okay.
Dirty work.
He's the devil.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, when he's the brownie or whatever.
Damn right, yeah.
Taylor?
I just, is it called the Zohan?
No.
I just, is it called the Zohan?
No.
God damn it.
I think this might be it.
The awesome Zohan.
No, that's all I got.
I'm so sorry.
Taylor Rizzo ladies and gentlemen
as he's
leaving Eric what do you have to say
I'm gonna say don't mess with the
Zohan yes
wait
Sam is disagreeing
it's not called don't mess with the Zohan
don't mess with a Zohan don't mess With the Zohan? Don't Mess With a Zohan?
Don't Mess With Some Zohan?
What do you think it is, Sam?
I mean, I know what the answer is.
Well, then fucking say it.
It's You Don't Mess With the Zohan.
I'm sorry, Eric.
Really, Sam?
And that's the real story about why they canceled Minx.
Eric Edelstein, with the softest mic drop ever,
he dropped it onto a nice cushiony chair like,
fuck you!
No, a chair onto a carpet.
That turned out pretty good, actually.
That was a good mic drop.
Not enough mic drops hit a couple different levels on their way down.
Like that person at the end of the Titanic movie.
Yeah.
Where are we?
Whose turn is it?
It's on.
Eric just bombed out.
Right, because I said you don't mess with the zone, so it's on you.
So, oh, you said it correctly.
Yeah.
Yeah, right away.
You, like, just got right in there. Well, yeah. You just said it. Because you don't mess with the zone, so it's on you. Oh, you said it correctly. Yeah, right away. You just got right in there.
Because you don't mess with them. It was crazy the way
it came together, the way it
blended.
Jeff.
All right, everybody. Just go
with it.
Anybody say the last Boy Scout?
For who?
Adam Sandler.
He's in the last Boy Scout?
Yeah, he is, right?
No.
Yeah.
Not the last Boy Scout.
That's Bruce Willis
and Damon Wayans.
All right, all right, all right.
I was asking a question
and not giving an answer.
Oh, I see.
Did anybody say
the last Boy Scout?
You did say that.
I did, right?
And nobody has said it because it would not be correct.
Close one.
I'm not bulletproof here.
Oh, wait a minute.
Bulletproof.
We already said bulletproof.
God damn it.
All right, fine.
Don't go.
I'm not going overboard.
Going overboard.
You finally had to settle with going overboard.
Oh, my God.
Did you do all of that to get to going
overboard? Sure.
You guys are going so fast, I can't write them all that
fast. That's why we went that fast,
Sam.
Here, Sam, write
this down. Shakes the clown.
Oh, you already had it written
down. Should have used it instead of
that one that was wrong.
Going overboard for Jeff.
Jeff.
He also wasn't in Last
Action Hero. I'm going to say
Coneheads.
Oh, very nice.
Yeah.
The prequel to Airheads. Yeah.
When we finally find out what's in those big heads it's just air
i thought it was like brains or something i assumed it was brains it isn't they seem pretty
smart they're very smart they could speak some english right away he fixes tvs i think they
understand our customs yeah they learn they learn everything except how to sleep they don't hit
their heads when they walk through
low hanging doors. They seem to have that
down. The first couple days
on earth must have been a real motherfucker.
Just bonking their tall
heads on everything. Can you imagine?
Sam?
Is it your turn?
I believe it is. Yeah, me too.
What do you got? I was trying to think.
I feel like we've got a lot of these Sandler movies.
We really did.
We really nailed a bunch of them.
We really did.
Yeah.
I'll bet my dugout has a Sandler movie we haven't said.
Oh, shit.
We're going to it.
Punch Drunk Love.
Punch Drunk Love we said.
That was definitely said.
Big Daddy.
Big Daddy.
Thank you, Erica.
Big Daddy.
Big Daddy. Big Daddy. That's a nice one. Big Daddy. Thank you, Erica. Big Daddy.
That's a nice one.
Big Daddy.
I like that. Good job.
She went far for you.
I'd say you went the longest
yard.
If I had
to be specific, Jeff.
Do you have anything?
He's going to his lifeline.
Deuce Bigelow, male jig.
Deuce Bigelow, male jig.
Hello.
Nice.
Back to Sam.
Well, now it gets interesting.
Drones.
Oh, what's interesting about that?
That's a film I'm in.
Oh.
All right.
Well, for saying Sam Levine films, we might as well say Sidney White.
Jeff?
It's been a real
pleasure.
It's nice to see
everybody again.
Yay!
Jeff Tate,
everybody!
Tate! Tate! Tate! Tate! Tate! Tate! Tate! Tate, everybody. Well, Sam, here we are.
Yeah, buddy. It's just you and me now.
I'm afraid so. And I think I'm
out. I mean, we got
through so many, so
many Sandlers.
I'm going to just... Oh, fucking, oh, no.
We said both the grown-ups, right?
Grown-ups and grown-ups.
I got to say them both.
It was crazy.
Yeah, you did.
You were proud of yourself.
What?
It went all the way around.
I know.
And you got to say grown-ups, too.
I'm not so much proud of myself as just alarmed.
No, you were just like, can't believe that happened.
Yeah.
But, yeah, I think,
I definitely don't have any more.
How many more Sam Levines are there?
I don't know.
I didn't write them down.
I was just going off.
Give us some more Sam Levines.
Well, there's one called
I'd Like to Be Alone Now.
Oh.
That's a fun indie.
All right.
It's what I'm thinking.
Another one called Immortal.
Immortal?
Immortal.
Okay.
This is a fun one.
I'd have to check my IMDB.
I don't know.
All right.
