Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seats with 50 acid popcorn kernels in his teeth. They're still not warm, then he won't sleep, cause Doug loves movies! I just thought the stools were oddly staggered. I like them all in a straight line. Hey, everybody! Stools were oddly staggered. I like them all on a straight line. Hey, everybody! My name is Doug, and I love movies. This is God Lots Movies! Doug loves being shouted at.
Starting point is 00:01:02 Coming to you once again from the Gramercy Theater on March 8th, heads in a duffel bag for our first ever Doug Loves Movies Tournament of Championships episode in New York City! At 420-ish, of course. How's everybody doing in the balcony?
Starting point is 00:01:40 Are you resigned to the fact that your name tag will probably not be chosen? Are you going to be cool with it? I mean, these people up front got here seven hours ago, so... That's why they're up front, I guess. Which is a shame, because a lot of potheads enjoy my stuff. But then they're not gonna fucking get there two hours ahead of time. Or remember their name tag. There he is. That was my buddy who tweeted me today
Starting point is 00:02:09 that you left your name tag on the train. Oh, in your car. Oh, well, at least you still have it. I thought you left it somewhere where you'll never get it back. Somebody else will get to use it. never get it back. Somebody else will get to use it. The winner of today's competition will move on to the third

Starting point is 00:04:17 I seem to recall you looking and acting hilariously at the 12 Guests of Christmas episode. Thank you. Yeah. So I believe that statement. I narrated everything that I was doing for the podcast listener. I am a podcast professional. Do you want to see a magic trick?
Starting point is 00:04:42 Is he really going to do one? I have a can of Diet Coke up my sleeve. But it won't come out. That was going to be such a good trick. Here it is. But that's okay. I've got one right here. Oh, it won't come out again.
Starting point is 00:05:01 There it is. won't come out again. Right there. Ah. There it is. Gabe, the magician from Getting Doug With High, was backstage doing magic tricks,
Starting point is 00:05:12 so I guess that put... He taught me that one. That put you in a... He said, shove a can of soda up your sleeve. You'll never know. And as a treat
Starting point is 00:05:22 for the winner of the prize bag this evening, you will be going home with the robes that John Hodgman is wearing and hiding soda cans. All right. Let's just take a second and plug anything you want to plug right now, because we might be in a rush at the end, depending on how long the competition takes.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Please listen to the Judge John Hodgman podcast on MaximumFun.org. The end. Rob Cantrell is here, everybody. Hello, New York. Hello, New York Took down the 12-plus guests of Christmas show Here at the Gramercy last December Yeah How are you feeling today, champ?
Starting point is 00:06:16 Good, good, good That 12 days of Christmas, I just really zended out, you know I just didn't talk the whole time And that's what I'm planning to do this time, too No, it's great to be here send it out, you know. I just didn't talk the whole time. And that's what I'm planning to do this time, too. No, it's great to be here. You were sitting between Ben Bailey and Bonnie McFarlane, so, like,
Starting point is 00:06:33 there's no hope for you, except in the game, which really matters. You're back here today, and they are not, because they could not shut up and understand how the games are played. Takes all kinds. But it's always fun when somebody like tig is on you know doesn't know what's going on yeah and by always fun i mean you know once every couple of years so rob uh do you sizing up your competition uh you know you it looks like you're going up against a judge and a bouncer.
Starting point is 00:07:08 So what do you think your chances are around such a tough crowd? I don't know yet. I mean, in the street fight, definitely the judge is going to whip my ass, and then the bouncer is going to jump in. But on this level... You never know what the judge has up his sleeve.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Yeah. the bouncer's going to jump in. But on this level... You never know what the judge has up his sleeve. Yeah. You never know. You could come out with just a stalled can of Diet Coke. That's right. You talking to me?
Starting point is 00:07:37 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, if you could just chuck cans at people that are full. Yeah. Full of a warm... It would be a weird superpower, but I bet it's shown up in some X-Men comics. It's a lethal weapon. We have a grudge because on that
Starting point is 00:07:51 super-duper holiday show, you won and I lost first. It was a fun game for me. It was. You were very funny for about five minutes. And then you had to leave. I was so bummed out. I'm a huge fan. It was actually perfect for me. That's my favorite X-Men character, the one that can manipulate aluminum.
Starting point is 00:08:18 And Jeff Tate's here, everybody! Hey! Hello. Hello. Hello Hello Brought in special It's his fourth trip to New York ever Ever And came by car this time You drove into Brooklyn
Starting point is 00:08:35 That's an interesting move Terrifying Everything about New York is weird and scary I don't know if you guys You guys probably don't see it anymore. You probably walk out like, this is normal. It's not.
Starting point is 00:08:49 I just figured out that's where the word wary came from. When it's weird and scary, you're wary. Yeah. I was very wary. I was very, very wary. New York is scary.
Starting point is 00:09:08 It's my first time being here single and every girl is so good looking that I just wish I was a girl I just don't want to be involved in this they're involved in a different way they're the ones being stared at by every guy the guys show up and all the girls are great looking and I still gotta to look like this.
Starting point is 00:09:25 And it's like the fucking cheesecake factory menu or whatever. There's just too many things I don't want to fucking pick. I'd rather be done. I'd just be like, I'll go back to Ohio. I understand. Don't you just wish you could just club one and drag it to the hotel? Also, don't you wish you were staying in a hotel? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Kind of drag a girl and take her to a couch. Hey, you want to go back to my friend's apartment? We got to be real quiet because it's New York and it's not really an apartment. It's like two closets. And a bathroom that's the size of the bathroom that man in the flu medicine commercial where the elbows bump everything and he's like i feel like i'm too big for the house that's every apartment in new york where you're just like oh i can't take it it took me 40 minutes to take a shower because i couldn't fucking fit and i kept doing one half at a time
Starting point is 00:10:21 what's that one half at a time that's how you do it yeah shower one half at a time. What's that? One half at a time. That's how you do it. Shower one half at a time. Left half, turn, dry it off so it doesn't get wrinkly. Yeah, the judge can really help you out, Jeff, with a lot of life decisions. He's got a lot of life hacks. Is that for real? Because if that's for real, I'm going to really bend your ear later. Sure. I have been fucking things up for 36 years.
Starting point is 00:10:44 If there's any way you can get me back on track, that would be... I'm here for you until I lose the game and then I'm going to walk out of this theater and not look back.
Starting point is 00:10:52 So you're saying I should get my questions in now? Yeah. Write them down and slip them into my robes. Well, you know, John, you're not going to be eliminated necessarily.
Starting point is 00:11:03 It's the first person to five points will be the winner. Oh, boy. Yeah, it's quite the opposite of what you went through in December. So that means I have to, I mean, get to stay for the entire show? That's correct. I hope I was clear that we would need you until approximately 6 p.m. I shall be here until that very moment and longer if needed.
Starting point is 00:11:26 Thank you so much. A judge is a government job. You don't work on Sunday. I work for the government of my mind. Today is not a holiday for me. Jeff, there never is for that mind of yours. But Jeff has brought a couple things for the prize bag. He brought one of his CDs.
Starting point is 00:11:45 This particular one's called I Got Potential. And on the cover, he's dressed as your spirit animal. And then he also brought a movie that's directed by a now friend of ours, I dare say, especially you were sleeping on his couch last evening, a movie called Life of Crime, directed by Dan Schechter. One guy out there. Few people have seen it probably at the urgings
Starting point is 00:12:08 of us because it's terrific and Will Forte the last man on earth is in that motion picture. Now that's another reason to watch it. Because Will Forte is hot.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Right judge? Big deal. Big deal right now. He's a big fucking deal right now. Big show on television, big beard, big co-star, Crispin Shaw. It's fantastic. I get nothing for this. Why am I even talking about it? Jeff likes to dress like Johnny Cash,
Starting point is 00:12:36 but he doesn't carry a Bible. He carries a little black book with all of his upcoming dates in it. I think he looks more like a Tom Waits Santa Claus. King of podcast visual references. I stopped believing in Tom Waits when I was like nine. What's in the book, Jeff? It's my plugs, because I forget everything. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:06 That's my way of setting you up to say them out loud. I got that. April's 2, 3, and 4, I'm at the Joke Joint in Houston, Texas. And March 26th, I'm at Bogart's in Cincinnati doing the show Jeff Tate's Trainwreck. So you can come
Starting point is 00:13:21 see that if you're in Cincinnati or come see me in Houston and listen to my podcast, Afternoon Everybody where I talk about cheers more than any other podcast but not enough for some of you can't please everybody I get a lot of
Starting point is 00:13:40 too much movie talk also in the prize bag I was on what you call it, At Midnight Too much movie talk. Also in the prize bag, I was on, what you call it, at midnight. And they give me Bananagrams every time. And I give them away every time. I've got a bunch of other stuff that I've just gotten along the way. Can I just say something about Bananagrams? Sure. Terrible game.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Of all the things that I thought you might say about Bananagrams, that's the one I was hoping wouldn't be the thing. I guess I don't care if people shit on Bananagrams. Judd, Sean, Hodgman, podcast listeners know everyone can enjoy whatever they like. It's fine. If you like a game of Scrabble without a board, it's completely lawless and without any elegance whatsoever. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:14:33 But whoever wins this thing, take a picture of yourself wearing my robes and send it to me, and I'll send you a Scrabble game. And you'll enjoy it. And I've said this for a long time to the point where I went into the YMCA in Park Slope where I live and this woman came up to me I'd never seen before in my life. She said, you cause me a lot of trouble. I'm like, I'm sorry, have we met before?
Starting point is 00:14:55 She goes, no, I work for Bananagrams. Shit. So I just want to say to that woman whose name I forget, I'm still out here stirring it up for you. I work for Bananagrams. What's Bananagrams? I've never even unzipped it to find out.
Starting point is 00:15:20 But when you feel it, it does feel like it's full of Scrabble tiles. So I believe it is Scrabble without the board. Yeah. And in a banana-sized pouch. Yeah. With a fun name. Are there any rule differences? I guess without a board, there can't be triple or...
Starting point is 00:15:34 Eh, there's no numbers. Make a bunch of words like there's no law or civilization. That's just words with friends, isn't it? You already have it on your phone. Why do you have to walk around with a banana? You want to get me angrier now. At least you get like a cool bag that looks like a banana. No, the whole thing is so much fun.
Starting point is 00:15:56 That's why I'm giving it away. Because I want somebody to have that fun. For going into trouble of making a name tag and coming to the show. It would be a great bag if you had a banana that would fit in there and then you could walk around with it. I got a koozie from the... A banana needs an extra peel.
Starting point is 00:16:14 Sorry about that. It's like a sweater. If it takes this long for me to say what prizes I'm holding, we're never going to get through this fucking game today. I'll be quiet.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Go ahead. Start talking. It's not just you. That's a fun t-shirt, right? Describe this one, Judge John Hodgman. That is a t-shirt which has a pair of glossy red lips and a gold tooth blowing out smoke, and it says, stoned immaculate. It's a red t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:16:44 What do those lips remind you of? Like the Rolling Stones logo. But not enough, like 40%, so it's not illegal. Yeah, exactly. Like close, close, but not too close. Here's another t-shirt that looks like the Flash Gordon 70s film logo that says Busy Bee Productions.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Yeah, I got this from somebody at Busy B Productions. Creators of Bananagrams. And this is a really fun shirt with lots of crazy Star Wars type characters on it, and George Lucas himself, and it's from my friends over at Star Wars Minute. Rob Cantrell, tell them what you brought. I have my new CD It's about a year and a half old I was holding up the wrong thing
Starting point is 00:17:33 Dreams Never Die is the CD And then some space ice cream I thought your fans would like that And then some space ice cream. Yeah. I thought your fans would like that. I think we'd all sell more of our CDs if we included space ice cream. Yeah. Because I'm including a copy of Gateway, Doug, too. And Jeff brought some pure soft maple sugar.
Starting point is 00:18:05 And I brought from the green room, because I forgot to send out the I'm not eating sugar memo, red velvet Oreos. Yeah, I'm high and have to look at these all afternoon? No thank you. That green room's for everybody, Doug. All right, Jeff, take a couple out, and then we'll give the rest away.
Starting point is 00:18:33 I think we should each eat half of one and put them back into the pack, and then you'll have our DNA for your experiments. So all that stuff is going in the prize bag. So you don't want any of them? You sure? Yeah. You were just You sure? Yeah. You were just joking around? Yeah, I was trying to. I was just being funny.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Just clowning. So let's do it, you guys. Let's start this thing. We've got to pick name tags. Yeah, team! Yeah! All right, can we get the house lights up a little bit? And now that guy with the flashlight doesn't feel so special anymore.
Starting point is 00:19:11 Oh, I see a Wilson volleyball. That's fun. And how many people are coming back to the next show tonight, later tonight? All right, so some of these people only have one shot at it today here at the Gramercy Theater. Make sure you pick the right... This is the quietest group. It was a compliment. All right. Yeah, I'll take these cupcakes.
Starting point is 00:19:49 These work. Yeah, food often gets the job done. I saw that one on Twitter. Might have even retweeted that one. Because it looks pretty delicious and it's got my dumb face on it. It's perfect. All right. Thanks, you guys, for bringing all those name tags,
Starting point is 00:20:08 and good luck again at the next show later tonight or at the next show here at the Gramercy, which will be on April 27th. Yeah, coming back April 27th. Tickets on sale now. Who are you playing for, Jeff? I think his name is Wilcox. Is that right? Yes. Good Wilcox. Is that right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Good Wilcox hunting. Yeah, he put your face on it. Yeah, me and Matt Damon. No, that's me. It is? It's me and you sitting on that bench. I'm just... That is Matt Damon-y as all get out.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Well, I grew a beard. It looks a little different. This was back in the 90s. It's got my name on the top, real big, so. You a big Good Will Hunting fan, Rob? Yeah, yeah, it's a decent thing. You like that movie?
Starting point is 00:20:52 Yeah, yeah. I like those apples. Did you enjoy smoking out of those apples? God damn it. Who are you playing for, Rob? I got Aaron here. Just some beautiful baked cupcakes.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Three of them with your logo, Doug. Check it out. One's got my face, one's got a heart, one's got a camera, because I love cameras. Yeah. That's dope. And does he get to keep the Tupperware and the whole deal? Oh, I love Tupperware. You get the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:21:25 I do. It doesn't have the top, but we'll figure it out. Oh, she's got it. Oh, you got the top? Oh, yeah. It's right there under her feet, the most sanitary spot in all of New York City. And there's special cookies. It's just down near the rats. I'm sure they don't have rats here at the Gramercy. But you were complaining about,
Starting point is 00:21:44 not complaining, but you were saying that they usually project the logo on the backdrop here. And I was like, well, you know, this is... They've done that in the past. They've done it in the past, but now we have cupcakes. That's the logo, you know, and that's even more special, you know. So there you go, everybody.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Nice selection, Rob. Thank you, Doug. Great to be here. Sean? Who are you Nice selection, Rob. Thank you, Doug. Great to be here. John? Who are you playing for? And of course, as always, do not read the shithead on the back if they put one there. Oh, they have not put one, but I have one in mind. Oh, okay. So John's going to get to say a shithead that he picks.
Starting point is 00:22:21 I am playing for June. If he loses. What's that? Who are you playing for? I am playing for June. Uh-huh. I did the responsible thing and went for the first
Starting point is 00:22:30 David Lynch's Dune reference that I saw in the audience. A young woman whose name I presume is June held up this, which I now realize is the top of a David Lynch's Dune-themed
Starting point is 00:22:43 jigsaw puzzle. She did probably, I realize now, the laziest job possible among all of you to create a name tag by simply not even printing out, writing out her name and taping it June over where Dune would be.
Starting point is 00:23:01 The moment this was handed to me, I was very excited. I thought I was getting a David Lynch's Dune crossword puzzle but you see it's only the box top I don't know why you would ruin a perfectly good crossword puzzle set by removing the top do you have the rest of it June?
Starting point is 00:23:17 right where is that? oh you know I left them at home near an open window so the pieces could just blow out into the neighborhood. That's a highly collectible piece of merchandise that you have ruined in order to play this game, but I am glad I will do my best for you. I didn't hear what she said.
Starting point is 00:23:42 You need the top back? She needs it back to control all those pieces. You can't get that back. She's going to have to put like saran wrap or tinfoil on it or something. Or just pour all the pieces into a Bananagram bag. Sure. If you don't care about anything, why do you even... Yeah, go ahead.
Starting point is 00:24:04 You won't get it back. Wow, you are tough on everybody. He's a tough judge. He's a very strict judge. The Robert Duvall character is based on him. We're playing to five points today, gentlemen. If we have a three-way tie at four points, this event will be settled with a round of asparagus pee.
Starting point is 00:24:32 More on that later, if necessary. We're going to play a little game to determine who goes first in the Leonard Maltin game, tournament of championships today. It's something I like to call How Much Did This Shit Make? And not unlike Price is Right, you guys will be bidding on the How Much Money a Movie
Starting point is 00:24:54 Made in Millions during its North American theatrical run according to boxofficemojo.com and since we're in New York I was curious. I remember at the time
Starting point is 00:25:09 it was a big flop. Robert De Niro and Liza Minnelli and Martin Scorsese made a motion picture, a love letter to New York called New York, New York. And it cost a lot of money and went long, over budget,
Starting point is 00:25:22 that sort of thing. How do you guys think it ultimately did at the box office? Let's start with you, Jeff. How much do you think it made? $13 million. Okay. Jeff says $13, Rob. What do you think? I'm going to say $5 million. Okay.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Judge? I'm going to say $5 million and $1. I was going to do that with the third. That was a pretty shrewd bid, but unfortunately, Jeff really nailed it with $13 million because it made $16.4 million. Whoa. Yeah. Well done.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Thank you. Yeah. It doesn't mean anything. Not to you. not to you just means Jeff gets to go first in the Leonard Moulton game followed by John will go second and then Rob
Starting point is 00:26:31 and we'll switch the order up every time and I think I just saw a bat over there I wanted to let it go but then I thought no I think that was a bat so again there are no rats at the Gramercy Theatre I wanted to let it go, but then I thought, no, I think that was a bat. So, again, there are no rats at the Gramercy Theater. The bat's just taking care of that. Just a bat situation.
Starting point is 00:26:53 Any vampires out there, anybody? Are you for real about the bat? I think so. Are you worried? Yeah. All they do... Here's what happens when they attack you there's a little bit of tickling and the wings are kind of
Starting point is 00:27:09 hitting you in the face it's really pleasant actually if you just ride with it I'm more worried about what happens about what you guys will do to me when it lands on my back to try to save me from the bat that's generally when you get hit with brooms
Starting point is 00:27:24 and sticks and a blanket. Oh, I'm going to pick up a stool and just smash it over your head while the little vampire bat kisses you. Every movie I've ever seen with a bat attack, the trying to save the person from the bat is where all the damage comes from. That's what I'm scared of. No, it wasn't a bat. It's a fan. Ah! Ah! They're a fan
Starting point is 00:27:47 Is it in my hair Is it in my hair Hit me with a stool Alright you guys We got one hour to pull this off Let's see if we can do it. Jeff gets to pick the first category between CarlyMarieBee on Twitter suggested you're here?
Starting point is 00:28:15 Yeah? Okay. She almost wanted to take it back or something. She suggested Fast Batch Cumberbender. She suggested Fast Batch Cumberbender. Fast Batch Cumberbender. Yeah, which is the films of Cumberbatch and Fassbender. Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Fassbender. Or, Austin, New York suggested Doug Day Afternoon,
Starting point is 00:28:50 and that's films where people smoke weed in the daytime. And at Dementomsdy, Dementomsdy suggested a reallyomsdy, suggested a really weird one. Martin Scorsese. Martin Scorsese. And those are Martin Scorsese movies without an R rating. Like at all? So it's Scorsese films that got some other rating
Starting point is 00:29:26 that is not R. Does it count if you're pronouncing Departed with a Boston accent? Oh, it's the rating? It's not the title? The rating of the film? Most of his films are rated R. These are the ones that are not.
Starting point is 00:29:38 Oh, I thought it was an R in the title. They don't use the letter R during the entire movie. but if you thought it was movies with r in the title then you just started yapping about departed when it's not even your turn yeah but i knew that that wouldn't be one of them because it has an r in it i hear you i take i'm sorry i meant i hear you. I'm sorry, I mean, I hear you. I totally hear you.
Starting point is 00:30:09 I'm an only child. I take the rules very seriously. I would not do that to you. That's why I was surprised that you would do that, but then I just missed what you were doing. Most people usually do. Until three years later. I'm going to have such a laugh three years from now.
Starting point is 00:30:30 I'll get it departed. He didn't pronounce the R when he said it. And then the person drives off a cliff. Which category do you like, Jeff? The Doug Day Afternoon. All right. This movie has day smoking in it, which I totally recommend, especially today. Would you like a movie with day smoking in it from 1995 or 2008?
Starting point is 00:31:00 1995. Okay. People don't know... Don't know what's going on. What was that about? Yeah, why? Did they see the bat? I'm glad they did that,
Starting point is 00:31:16 because it made me look at it again. It's not 95? Huh? It's not from 1995? Which one did I say? You said 1995 or 2008. Yes, 1995. Here we go. Everyone was so shocked.
Starting point is 00:31:34 I thought something was wrong. One and a half stars for this movie from 1995 that has daytime smoking in it. He says about this movie that it has a talented cast. And he also says that... One of the actors in this film shows his fun side. Gross.
Starting point is 00:32:00 And he lists... Hey, baby, want to see my fun side? No, thank you. Three, four, five, six, seven, ten, twelve names listed. Jeff Tate, how many names can you get it in? Twelve. Expert opening bid. That's why he's here today.
Starting point is 00:32:22 He knows what he's doing. Judge. I'll say ten. Perfect play. Shaved an extra one off there. Puts Rob in a position. I'll say nine.
Starting point is 00:32:40 I can name that nine. That's interesting. What happened there is he seems a little less confident. Strangely, even though he's taking one less name. But nine is a lot of names, so I'm going to say eight. John, he says eight. Name it. The hammer's dropping early, but we'll see what happens.
Starting point is 00:33:05 Your eight names are, and I'm not going to give you the clues again because that's how much I respect you as a player. Lawanda Page, Faison Love, Angela Means, Bernie Mac, Paula Jai Parker,
Starting point is 00:33:21 Regina King, and Anna Maria Horsford. Wait. That's only seven. Your eighth name is John Witherspoon. Friday. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:33:38 Friday. Friday. Well played. Well played. Well played. Can I have that robe, please? Pass it around to whoever's in the lead. Now Jeff's on the board with one point on his way to a potential win with five points. Who challenged who there?
Starting point is 00:34:04 John challenged? I challenged. Rob is going to start us off and then go back to you, Judge. So be ready. Rob picks a category between K-Sara-Sara spelled K-A-Y Sarah-Sara
Starting point is 00:34:17 and sitting right here in front of me, suggested One Fine Day. One Fine Day. And that's the films of Rafe or Joseph Fiennes. Okay. Yes, that's fun with names and words.
Starting point is 00:34:35 Here's a category. Liar Liar. Not involved with Jim Carrey or his film at all. No, Liar Liar is films where Bill O'Reilly makes an appearance. Yeah, I'm sticking it to that guy.
Starting point is 00:34:49 Oh, wow. Wow. And your third option from Top Men Pod on Twitter, Weezer. You know I love Weezer. Fun band.
Starting point is 00:35:01 I've been on their cruises. Yeah. Yeah. But this category isn't about the band Weezer. This is a movie where someone has asthma. Movie where a character has asthma. So what do you like there, Rob? You like the asthma?
Starting point is 00:35:15 Are you in favor of asthma? One of the Fine Brothers? I don't believe they've appeared together, and now I just sort of gave away that that wouldn't be the movie I picked if they did. Or Bill O'Reilly. I think I'm going to go with The Weezer. Okay.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Somebody's got asthma in this movie. Rob Cantrell. Oh, shit. The year is 1985. Two and a half stars from Leonard. He says this movie is lively and, huh. He says it's a very nice review
Starting point is 00:35:58 for only two and a half stars. He doesn't say a single bad thing about it. And he also says that this movie uses Max Steiner's swashbuckling theme from Adventures of Don Juan. That's a very nice piece of trivia that Len throws down
Starting point is 00:36:19 in that review of this movie from 1985 where someone has asthma. He lists seven, ten names. How many names can you get in Rob Cantrell? It's seven, how many names? Ten names.
Starting point is 00:36:38 Ten names? I can name this film definitely well, with ten names. Judge? What year were you born in, Rob? I was born in 1972. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:36:58 I'm a Scorpio. You look fantastic. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you. I do a lot of push-ups. Wouldn't it be fun if on Jeopardy! the contestants could ask each other questions to discern which way they think they should pick the categories and whatnot? Yeah, I just gave him a big N. I just showed him my hand. I'll say eight. He says eight, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:37:29 It's my favorite Like it's one thing on Price is Right When they're saying lower, lower It's like well you know That's something you can have an opinion on But what he should bid And then you're like three Thanks for your help Hope you're also yelling out help when the hard part comes.
Starting point is 00:37:49 No, don't yell out. No Amy Adams-ing. I'm going to say seven. It is kind of fun that I have a safe thing that you can yell out any time and I won't get mad. Only if Amy Adams happens to be an answer again. What year were you born, John?
Starting point is 00:38:13 I was born in the year 1971. And I'm a Gemini. Oh, yeah. How do I look the oldest? I don't know. Maybe the Santa beard. What did you bid? Seven. You said seven. He said seven, Judge.
Starting point is 00:38:31 Is it back to me? Not to Rob? Which way are we going? We're going to Rob. Sorry, Rob. And I was going to say, name that movie, Jeff. Oh, you get seven names? Wow, you're really setting Jeff up here for another... I'll say no more.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Well, he was born in 1985. I was born in 1985. I'll say the seven names, but tell me the name of the movie as soon as you know it. This could be your birth film. Everyone has one. Parents are always going on and on about the movie they watched while you were being born. Or conceived, you know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:07 Mind-serpico. Is that right? Is that right? I don't know. Yeah, there's no movie story with the power outage babies, right? The people that have sex because there was a power outage. All right, here we go. Ten names.
Starting point is 00:39:20 Did I say ten names? And you get how many? Seven. I get seven. Jeff gets seven. And then he's going to say the name of this movie before I get to all seven names. Prediction. Joe Pantoliano, Ann Ramsey,
Starting point is 00:39:34 John Matuszak, Ki Hai Kwan, Martha Plimpton, Carrie Green, and Corey Feldman. The Goonies. That's correct. Well played. Well played.
Starting point is 00:40:00 All right, John gets to pick the next category. Why did you pause so long before answering? Were you really thinking or just having fun? I was just having fun. Yeah. I wanted you to say it like after Joe Pantoliano. I wanted you to blow everybody away. But you didn't.
Starting point is 00:40:20 No, at that point I thought it was something else. Oh, okay. Martha Plimpton was the giveaway, but... What did you think it was before? Ki Hai Kwan's been in two movies. Nobody's ever said that angrily before. That's a good point. God damn it! Ki Hai Kwan! Two movies!
Starting point is 00:40:43 Yeah, what happened to him? We were all robbed of an incredible career. Because he chose not to do that anymore. Okay. John gets to pick the category. Okay. And you get to choose between these three. Would you like...
Starting point is 00:41:03 Cocktail. There's no way you're going to pick this. Because it's movies with drinks named after them at the Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood. There's no way that I could win that. It's not fair. No, there is, because there's lots of other clues along the way between now and when you have to guess the name of a movie. But yeah, I see what you're saying. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:25 At HB4H suggested Valentine's Dre. And that's romantic films that have a hip-hop artist in them. Or more than one. Those hip-hop artists have infiltrated acting.
Starting point is 00:41:39 I see. You can't make a movie without a hip-hop artist in it. Yeah. Why would you? There's no reason to. And at Krev Alev, K-R-E-V-A-L-E-V, suggested, want to do some nines? And that's the films of 1999.
Starting point is 00:41:59 That one. He likes to go with the crowd. All right, would you like a film from 1999? Or... Okay. 1999. 1999. All right, I'll pick 1999.
Starting point is 00:42:20 Two and a half stars from Leonard. This movie from 1999 that he says was followed by a sequel. And he also says that this movie is spotty. And has several star cameos. And then he lists 14 names. 14 names. 14 names. I'll say seven. That is a strong opening bid.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Rob? I'll say name Name that film? Sounds like you don't mean it. I said it, so... Are you sure that's what you mean, though? That's true. He did have a confident, you know... But it's already been said. You did say it.
Starting point is 00:43:23 I respect the way you play. Just let me get my pen ready to write down a point for John Hodgman. I wouldn't be too sure of that. You may swallow your pen. Charles, never, sir. Charles Napier is in this movie. Fred Willard.
Starting point is 00:43:44 Will Ferrell. Kristen Johnson. Mindy Sterling. I don't know. Yeah, you're right. You might not get this. Vern Troyer. What? And your seventh name is Seth Green.
Starting point is 00:44:00 And the film... Do you want the clues again? Judge. There's a sequel, spotty, 1999, Verne Troyer, several Starler cameos.
Starting point is 00:44:19 Should be conjuring itself in front of my eyes at any moment. I'm pegging the films of Verne Troyer at about moment. I'm pegging the films of Vern Troyer at about seven. Maybe eight or nine, if there's some direct-to-cable things or whatever. A handful more than K-Hyek Won. Shh, Amy Adams. Don't you Amy Adams me.
Starting point is 00:44:38 Is it the Beverly Hillbillies? That is incorrect. Point to Rob Gantrell. Didn't see that coming. What's it called, Jeff? That is incorrect. Point to Rob Gaddrell. Didn't see that coming. What's it called, Jeff? You show off. Austin Powers? The Spy Who Shagged Me.
Starting point is 00:44:52 Yes, full title, please. I never, ever saw it. I never, ever saw it. You know that that's Verne Troyer's oeuvre. Yeah. There are only a few movies. There are only a few movies. There are only a few movies.
Starting point is 00:45:09 Oh, Verne Troyer. He was the stunt double in Baby's Day Out. I was so confused. I'm deeply, deeply embarrassed. Who were you thinking of? I got confused with Ernest. Oh. I got very confused.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Jim Varney? Yeah, Jim Varney. Who was always talking to someone named Vern. Yes. Hey, Vern. Off screen. Ernest was always, hey, Vern. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:30 He's always going somewhere. Very embarrassed. Well earned. Very bad on my part. I apologize. That's all right. That was exciting because I really thought that was going to be an easy one. Yeah, you would have thought.
Starting point is 00:45:40 It just shows you anything can be difficult. You would have thought. So I'll choose another. You asked the right smart have thought. So I'll choose another category instead. We'll just wipe that one out and we'll start again. No, Rob gets a point! Vern Troyer. And Jeff gets to go first, and then we come right back to Rob. And Jeff gets to pick between Pardon the Interruption,
Starting point is 00:46:02 and that's movies that I have or will be interrupting. So you have to kind of know my schedule, but it's more like a chance to just plug that I do that. We're going to need a bigger coat. Of course, it's not films that take place here in New York City or Boston. It is movies where someone is just outright frozen. Movies where someone gets frozen. Or not KB Toys. I don't know why someone would have to put
Starting point is 00:46:36 not KB Toys as their Twitter name. Just feels creepy to me that they have to be like, listen, I'm not a toy store. Just a Twitter account. No children. Suggested red light challenge as a joke on our friend that's on the show all the time, Ben Bailey. And the category is, it's movies where there's a chase scene
Starting point is 00:46:59 and a cab is involved in a chase scene, which is most chase scenes, because they always jump in a cab and say, follow that car. Ben Bailey! I don't know what that was. It was not Amy Adams, but it was also not anything else that seemed pertinent. Did you yell, get busy? Ben Bailey!
Starting point is 00:47:20 Ben Bailey? Yeah. You're just excited about hearing Ben Bailey and repeated it, Ben Bailey. Yeah. You're just excited about hearing Ben Bailey and repeated it, Ben Bailey. Also, you know, maybe instead of yelling out, get a lozenge or something. Ben Bailey. Ben Bailey.
Starting point is 00:47:47 What was the second one? It wasn't Ben Bailey! It was Someone Gets Frozen. Movies I have are about to interrupt. Someone Gets Frozen or Chasing the Cab. Why is this so difficult? No, because they're all great. The guy just said Ben Bailey again. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:07 You give him that opening, he's going to take it. I didn't know. I don't understand. This is why New York is like, all these people are like, that's normal. But it's not fucking normal. No one in the audience is reacting to him at all. We are, because we're not from here. We're also trying to do a show
Starting point is 00:48:25 while a guy keeps yelling Ben Bailey. I just thought he was really into Cash Cab. I think he is, yeah. Or into Ben Bailey specifically. I want to take the crazy one of movies you may or may not have interrupted. Okay, this film is from 1961.
Starting point is 00:48:43 All movies. No, it's not may or may not have. It's have or okay this film is from 1961 what year? no it's not may or may not have it's have or about to and the year is 1961 all movies three and a half stars from Leonard for this movie he calls it charming yeah he says
Starting point is 00:48:58 yeah why would I interrupt something that's charming he says that he said it's got some dated trappings. But those don't detract from high comedy. Oh, I get it now. Those don't detract
Starting point is 00:49:16 from the high comedy. I'll leave it at that. And then he lists seven names. How many names can you get it in, Jeff? And then we're coming at Rob next. I'm going to go with zero.
Starting point is 00:49:41 You guys might have lucked out getting to pick that category, Rob. Jeff's a friend Knows my schedule Yeah Sees my tweets Yeah You guys both Follow me on Twitter though
Starting point is 00:49:53 You could have noticed it Yeah So what do you think Rob? I'd say I have no fucking clue What it is Did you say It was from 1961?
Starting point is 00:50:03 1961 Yeah wow Yeah The year I was So either you know it was from 1961? 1961. Yeah, wow. So either you know it or you don't. Makes it the oldest movie I have or will be interrupting. But it has dated references from that year. So the references are like from the 20s. But I say, I would like to say, name that film, Jeff.
Starting point is 00:50:26 I also would like to say that, but I can't. Everyone wants to know the name of the movie that Jeff, I'm pretty sure he knows it. Yeah. But here we go. Is it Breakfast at Tiffany's? That's right. Putting three on the board. Baboon.
Starting point is 00:50:42 Sound effect. Damn. Oh, wait a minute. Were you getting a tip off from the audience There's a woman holding a Tiffany's box In the front row Wouldn't it be great if you opened that box And a bat flew out of it now Is there breakfast inside it
Starting point is 00:50:59 Don't do it It's got donuts inside I love it They look eaten, though. I didn't know that. But didn't you just do, you just did breakfast at Tiffany's? Did you get that idea from hearing me yammer on and on about breakfast at Tiffany's? Or you've just always been at Tiffany's, so it's pretty obvious to you?
Starting point is 00:51:14 Yeah, that second one. Can you buy donuts at Tiffany's? Are they like $1,000? Well, don't just go biting into it. They're engagement donuts. You put a diamond in there and then you give it to the lady you can get them but they're off the menu
Starting point is 00:51:30 at Tiffany's you get your engagement ring animal style you ate that donut too fast baby I wanted to propose but we're going to have to wait two days and you're going to shit into a strainer first we're going to have to put a colander in the toilet bowl. You ate that donut too fast.
Starting point is 00:51:49 But will you marry me? The new off-Broadway romantic hit, Shit in a Strainer. That guy pretends to be Chinese in that movie, and that was dated then, right? Mickey Rooney. Yeah, played Mr. Yoniyoshi or something, and man, was it crazy racist.
Starting point is 00:52:14 But even when it came out, it shouldn't have been happening, and then it's gotten worse over time. But also, she's just a bipolar maniac in that movie. All she wants to do is fucking marry old dudes that are rich. I should point that part out. You also don't live in New York, do you? No, I don't.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Yeah. Just a bunch of people yelling, Ben Bailey. Shut up, Ben Bailey. Ben Bailey, won't you please go home? Now that's an old reference. Manhattan is just a bunch of people yelling and trying to marry themselves into security. Please have enough money so we can leave. That's what everybody thinks in this town, right?
Starting point is 00:53:00 Let's move. Do you know what breakfast at Tiffany's means? I have no idea. I assumed. No, it's like breakfast club. They don't ever have breakfast at work club. But at breakfast at Tiffany's, she eats her coffee and drinks a donut
Starting point is 00:53:13 while staring in the window at Tiffany's. She eats her coffee and drinks a donut? Yeah. I got to see this fucking movie, man. I've eaten some coffee before. Some of that gas station, like you get at a gas station, it's not good.
Starting point is 00:53:32 It's a little thick. Pour over. That's the new thing. All you fucking Brooklyn, you gotta pour over. I'm just gonna drink it as fast as possible. Judge gets to pick the next category. Oh, sorry, I thought that was it as fast as possible. Judge gets to pick the next category. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought that was done.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Name that movie. Judge. What? John Hodgman. Choose. Between. You guys, you and Rob got some catching up to do. I know.
Starting point is 00:53:53 That's true. That's true. Damn it. I am so embarrassed. Jeff is running away with this thing. From my Verne Troyer brain problem. Who'd you think he was again? I thought that he was Jim Varney.
Starting point is 00:54:07 And he thought that Jim Varney was like 8th Bill And my math was going so hard because I'm like there are only a few movies that Jim Varney did not star in. Toy Story, Toy Story 2, not Toy Story 3, rest his soul. And Beverly Hillbillies.
Starting point is 00:54:24 His big foray into mainstream acting. I was thinking of Verne Troyer that entire time. What a shame. That might have helped the Beverly Hillbillies as a movie if it was Verne Troyer. Where do you hear my new podcast
Starting point is 00:54:40 where I analyze my failure at Doug Loves Movies? That's my podcast where I analyze my failures. We do an after show podcast called Talking Doug Loves Movies. That's my podcast. Where I analyze my failures. We do an after show podcast called Talking Doug Loves Movies. Chris Hardwick hosts it. You see, we can work together. Points, Ben Bailey.
Starting point is 00:55:05 Now he's saying it like a question, though. Ben Bailey? Points, Ben Bailey. Now he's saying it like a question, though. Ben Bailey! Hyperapathy. Judge John suggested... Is the name on Twitter, hyperapathy? Oh, okay. Suggested cherub. You know that word, cherub?
Starting point is 00:55:21 Sure. But in this case, it's a movie that has a lap dance in it. Because that is also a chair rub. Ah. Yeah, Ben Bailey. And then... A movie with a lap dance.
Starting point is 00:55:38 All right. At ChrissyFist's underscore suggested lunch at Tiffany's. Oh. Holy shit. And that's romantic sequels. You don't see a lot of sequels to rom-coms. Sure. But this is one that managed to happen.
Starting point is 00:55:57 And at Roroni1029, always a catchy name, four red weddings in a funeral and that's movies with Game of Thrones actors that have a wedding or a funeral in them so that's complicated which one of those do you like, John?
Starting point is 00:56:29 I'm really thinking about this one. Well, because I know the one you have chosen for one of the categories. And I'm trying to remember if I remember its name. Oh. But I'm going to go ahead and say Four Red Weddings and a Funeral. So you're going
Starting point is 00:56:48 against the one you wanted to pick? I won't reveal that information. Okay. Would you like a movie with a wedding or a funeral
Starting point is 00:56:56 featuring a featuring a Game of Thrones character from 2007 or 2010. Wait a minute. From 2007 or 2010? Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:57:16 Game of Thrones actor in a movie with a funeral. I have two choices. Uh-huh. 2010. Okay. This one got two stars from Leonard. Of course, it was in 2010. Okay. This one got two stars from Leonard. Of course, it was in 2010. And he says that...
Starting point is 00:57:31 Oh, maybe I should have said 2007. He says... I'm just trying to find anything that's not somewhat of a giveaway, but this review really just describes it so perfectly without saying any other words. Misguided. It's misguided. This film is misguided it's misguided this film is misguided that changes my thinking and some of the supporting players
Starting point is 00:58:13 participate in zany antics that's all you're gonna get oh shit 11, 13 names that he lists I'm gonna say I'm gambling it all. Zero. Whoa. Rob?
Starting point is 00:58:35 I say name that film, John. Right? It's supposed to go to Rob, right? Because Rob challenged you on the last one and you got it right. I don't remember. I just know that I know it and I could go negative. Oh, so you're disappointed. Disappointed it's not coming to you.
Starting point is 00:58:52 All right, so he says he could do it zero. So what is it? I have a feeling I'm going to get the name of this movie wrong. Oh, great. What's it called? I think it's called scenes from a funeral oh
Starting point is 00:59:07 they made it twice I had both of them in here and Peter Dinklage was in both of them I know yes but this was
Starting point is 00:59:15 this was the black version death at a funeral called bleens at a funeral bleens no kidding it was called death at a funeral
Starting point is 00:59:23 both times death and a funeral death at a funeral death at a Funeral, both times. Death and a Funeral? Death at a Funeral. Death at a Funeral. Because then, I guess, at the funeral, somebody dies. Right. I knew exactly what the movie was, but I wasn't sure of the name, and I had to gamble. And Rob gets another point.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Death at a Funeral. The second, I believe, was... Was that directed by Frank Oz? Second one? Yeah. No, the first one was Frank Oz. The original British one. And then the one here was Neil LaBute.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Oh, interesting. Director of Bad Boys 2. Neil LaBute. This is not a good afternoon for me. What are you talking about? Don't listen to that, everybody. He did not direct Bad Boys 2. You really don't know New York, do you? Nope.
Starting point is 01:00:15 Yeah, he's more of a playwright than a... He directs, though. Anyway. Bad Boys 2 is kind of like a play. Have you seen it? I left it intermission. I probably took your seat. I saw it on the second half. All right, here we go.
Starting point is 01:00:33 So Rob has two points and Jeff has three. And John is killing it. Still in there, though. You're still playing. You're still allowed to participate. Jeff gets to pick the category. And then we go to Rob, the great challenger.
Starting point is 01:00:50 Rob's going to try to challenge his way to the top. At Trips02 suggested to have and to have not. Not K-N-O-T. So this is a spelling joke. And you know what? Fuck that category.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Alright, here we go. At Crosscheck, K-R-O-S-S Check, suggested... Holy shit. This is just a coincidence, you guys. The Other Jeff Tate is the name of the category, and it's movies that have a song by Queensryche
Starting point is 01:01:24 on the soundtrack. Does that give you an advantage? Are you well aware when you're watching a movie if there's a Queensryche song in it? That's when I leave. I fucking hate Queensryche. All right. At Super Naomi with two I's at the end, or at least that's how many I put here, suggested Puff Puff Pass, and that's Emily Blunt movies that Leonard gave two stars or less. So he took a couple of puffs and then he passed on it.
Starting point is 01:02:03 And then this is a fun category. The Ken Jennings category. Great guest on the show. And that's movies that the title is in the form of a question. I believe Who's Harry Crumb was one that you got in negative names. Might have even led to you being here today. Yes.
Starting point is 01:02:19 Yeah, so. Who's Harry Crumb? Which category would you like to do today? I would like the Ken Jennings category. Might as well keep going with it, right? Yeah. Would you like a movie that's a question from 1987 or 2007? The title's a question. A lot of movies are a question.
Starting point is 01:02:38 Why? 2007. Has anybody seen Chappie? Yeah, I just saw it last night Did you like it? I loved it Alright, because the critics aren't liking it So I like that the public is into it
Starting point is 01:02:52 A robot does nunchucks Would have been a better title I'm going out to buy tickets for that movie right now and it doesn't exist it's there go check it out I bet you every scene, every moment of that movie describing it would be a better title than Chappie
Starting point is 01:03:15 but your options or maybe you fall so in love with Chappie you don't mind it by the time it's over but I don't like that name 1987 or 2007 fall so in love with Chappie you don't mind it by the time it's over. But I don't like that name. 1987 or 2007? 87
Starting point is 01:03:32 or 2007? 2007. It's on you, buddy. Two and a half stars. He says about this movie subtlety is in short supply but the ensemble is first rate
Starting point is 01:03:54 but he only lists six names and the movie's in the title of a question I think someone in the audience just said aliens well I mean if you do it like that and the movie's in the title of a question, I think someone in the audience just said, Aliens? Well, I mean, if you do it like that, you can make any... That's what I mean. It's not, don't say it as if it were a title. These are movies where the title,
Starting point is 01:04:15 don't say it as if it's a question. These are titles that are a question. Have a question mark at the end. Six names. You know, because I'd put one on the end of Interstellar. He says all six. Rob the Challenger. I'll say five names.
Starting point is 01:04:34 I'll say four. Name it. Oh. I'm sorry, June. I'll give you the top of your dune buzzle bag. If he doesn't win, he'll give it back to you. That's fair.
Starting point is 01:04:55 But he still gets to say his shithead because you didn't write one on there. Because you didn't want to ruin that precious cover. Although, I'm thinking of a different one now. You know what? You don't even have to tell me. I got it. Is it me?
Starting point is 01:05:09 Four names. No. Vern Troyer. It's okay. I got plenty of them. No, no. I thought it was just going to be June. Is this shit?
Starting point is 01:05:19 No, I love June. Oh, okay. It is going to be. It's finally going to heat up around here in June, I imagine. So I'm going to love it too. Your four names are Richard T. Jones, that's three names.
Starting point is 01:05:37 Richard T. Jones, Jill Scott, she can't be in a lot of movies, Malik Yoba, and Sharon Leal. So you're missing two names, arguably the two names that could give it away. But it is a movie worth a question mark
Starting point is 01:05:54 from 2007 that got two stars from Leonard. 2007. What? 2007, you say. Yeah. I don't like this at all. Subtlety is in short supply. Sure.
Starting point is 01:06:12 Ensemble, of which I listed only four out of the six, is first rate. And the title is a question. Uh-huh. The question now is, how soon are you going to give up are we there yet too that's a solid guess right there where did they put the question mark and are they there are we there yet too did they just put it at the end that would would be accurate, wouldn't it? The question mark is the two.
Starting point is 01:06:46 Oh. They just put the dot at the bottom of the two. Don't give that up. Save that. That's great. Not a terrible guess, but the remaining two names are Tyler Perry and Janet Jackson, and the film is called Why Did I Get Married? Why Did I Get Married?
Starting point is 01:07:02 That's a bad luck of that draw that you got stuck with that movie. Sorry, Jim. Who here saw that movie? That's what I thought. Now Jeff has four points, you guys. So he is on the precipice of victory. Could be very exciting
Starting point is 01:07:22 if Rob makes a comeback here. If John makes a comeback, it would be unlikely. Unbelievable. The judge at the end of... You remember What's Up, Doc, that movie? I never saw it. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:07:38 Turns out I've never seen any movies. Well, you've been faking it pretty good. Your guesses have been not bad for a non-movie watcher. Yeah, well, I'll use the internet a lot. But I don't see a lot of movies. But the very last scene of What's Up, Doc, it's not really giving away too much to say that it's a courtroom scene and one of the funniest in the history of movies.
Starting point is 01:07:59 And the judge in that scene is a very funny old actor. He was old at the time, now dead. Vern Troyer played him. Strangely, it was Vern Troyer Sr. No, his name was Liam Dunn. Liam Dunn. He was also in Blazing Saddles. He was the guy that had to take the test at the beginning of Young Frankenstein
Starting point is 01:08:18 where Gene Wilder beat him in the balls. That's the great Liam Dunn. Takes a good ball shot for an old man. Sure. I'm looking forward to that stage of my career. Arguably, it's happening right now. So who challenged who there? What just happened?
Starting point is 01:08:35 Oh, Jeff challenged John. And so we're going to start with Rob and then go to Jeff. And Rob gets to pick between Sagan Baggins. I usually only say a person's name, their Twitter name, a couple of times, and I drop it for time or whatever. But I've got to always say Sag and Baggins. That's a sweet Twitter name. Suggested Apollo 86.
Starting point is 01:08:56 And that, of course, is films where Carl Weathers dies. Where Apollo Creed gets 86'd. Gotcha, gotcha. That's a good one. Uh-huh. And Speaking of Interstellar, Interstellar got her groove back. And that's Matthew McConaughey rom-coms. The ladies love a category where they can play along. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:25 Just recently, Ricky Lindholm was on and at the end of it, she was like, it was all boy movies. Oh, you mean movies? And why did you guys, well, I guess you couldn't
Starting point is 01:09:35 cheer for Breakfast at Tiffany's until you heard the answer, but that ended up being a girl movie. A girl movie. I always think of it as more of a breakfast movie. Yeah. It's a breakfast movie. Yeah. It's a donut movie that she drinks while looking at Tiffany's.
Starting point is 01:09:51 And your third option is Superman. And that's movies with soup or man in the title. Soup or man. I'm going to go for some soup or man, man. Yeah. Whoa. I had some soup today. It was awesome.
Starting point is 01:10:12 I got a slow cooker. Would you like a movie with the word soup or man in the title from 1970, 1973, or 1975. Oh, shit. Not a great pick, category-wise. Unless you love movies that were made right around your toddler years. Yeah, yeah. 1975.
Starting point is 01:10:37 You're taking the most recent. I like that approach. This movie's a bomb, according to Leonard Maltin, from 1975. He calls this movie trashy. Yeah. He says that this movie, weird.
Starting point is 01:10:56 It's based on a novel, but also that it will only appeal to the S&M crowd. Yeah, from 1975. And he lists, maybe I said too much, 11 names. Soup or Man is in the title, not both. How many names?
Starting point is 01:11:24 Can you get it in, Rob? Ten names? How many names did he give me? Out of 11? Out of 11? Yeah, yeah, I would say ten names. Fair enough. Now we go to Jeff. Name it. All right. All right. That's how you want to win this thing.
Starting point is 01:11:59 That's not how I want to win it. No, but that's how I'm going to win it. All right. It was a real pleasure to meet you, John. I assume that you're going to hold a grudge. It's not grudge, John Hodgman. That's my new podcast. But that's what they tell you, they're grudges. You should do a whole show complaining about Doug Lowe's movies appearances. No, no, just me talking about Jeff.
Starting point is 01:12:29 Oh, and then he said this and I forgot that and then this. I got CDs for sale. I'll be out front after. Oh, I'm sure you do. No, no grudges held. I messed up in a lot of different ways. Rob will certainly impress everybody if he manages to figure out what this is. I'm rooting for you, Rob.
Starting point is 01:12:52 1975. It's a bomb, according to Leonard. What did I say he called it? Trashy? Trashy. Trashy. It'll appeal only to the S&M crowd. S&M crowd.
Starting point is 01:13:05 You know that crowd. The crowd. S&M? S&M, yeah. Wow. It has bondage in it. I thought you said H&M. I'm not going to say anything about what does or does not have in it.
Starting point is 01:13:17 I'm just going to say that it'll appeal to a crowd that would enjoy S&M. I thought you said S&M. I just like to picture Leonard blushing just typing S&M. I thought you said S&M. I just like, just picture Leonard like blushing, just typing S&M. I don't, is it revealing too much to say that S&M stands for soup and men?
Starting point is 01:13:33 Did I ruin it? This movie definitely has men in it. I'm not sure if it has soup in it, but I bet you it does. And it's also based on a novel.
Starting point is 01:13:43 And here are your nine names, Rob Cantrell. Here are your 10 out of 11 names. Come on, Rob. I got something. Yeah, you got a lot of names. But we'll see what happens.
Starting point is 01:14:00 No, that's helping people. Ben Masters. Ben Masters. Paul Benedict. Two Kumbuka. Roy Poole. Both Kumbukas? Roy. Two T-U.
Starting point is 01:14:12 T-U. Roy Poole Jr. Lillian Heyman. Ken Norton. Short. Brenda Sykes. Richard Ward. Perry King. and Susan George.
Starting point is 01:14:28 10 out of 11 names. I don't know any of those people. I try not to lay into it too much, but I think one of the names is a pretty good clue, but that's, of course, because I'm looking at the answer. It was a book is the key right there. I wouldn't dwell on that. Oh, okay. I guess it wasn't a popular book.
Starting point is 01:14:53 Just think of a movie that has man or soup in the title and it's not Superman. Yeah. That might be from around that time. Feels old to you maybe. Duck Soup? That's super old, and you'd think at least two or three of the
Starting point is 01:15:09 Marx Brothers would get listed. That's the only soup I knew. I assume the Marx Brothers are just one thing in a building, like the Harlem Globetrotters. They were killing it in 1975. Oh, right, yeah, the top name is Oh, and the Marx Brothers. Ken yeah the top name is oh and the marks brothers ken norton perry
Starting point is 01:15:28 king and the marks brothers right right and then you know duck soup yeah uh but don't yell out in the audience just yet because somebody out there might know it but let me open up to the panel does it help you at all to know that ken norton was a boxer and this is his foray into acting does that help you
Starting point is 01:15:45 with a movie that has man or soup in the title? See how I said it that way? Soup was second. Let's try to stop thinking so much about soup. Boxing man. What's a movie that has man in the title from
Starting point is 01:16:01 1975? Box man. Fight man. Soup Man. Fight Man. Soup Man. Omega Man. Marathon Man. Okay, audience. Cinderella. Who said Cinderella? Cinderella Man. See, this thing was hard as fuck. It is a tough one.
Starting point is 01:16:20 It's too old, this movie, but it's also once you hear it, once you hear it, that's the same guy who's yelling Ben Bailey. Oh, he's got a whole this movie, but it's also, once you hear it... Once you hear it... That's the same guy who's yelling Ben Bailey. Oh, he's got a whole thing going, Doug. He's going to ride this thing right to Comedy Central Hour. Wait, for real? How do you do that?
Starting point is 01:16:39 You got to be in the audience. You got to just be yelling out random shit in the audience. Other comedians' names first. You got to ride that one trick in the audience. You gotta just be yelling out random shit in the audience. Other comedians' names first. You gotta ride that one trick into the sunset. Let me ask the Ben Bailey guy. Are you now officially an Amy Adams guy? Or Amy Adams.
Starting point is 01:16:55 Whichever one you are, are you coming to the next show? Yes. Oh. April 27th. Oh, April 27th Oh April 27th Not later tonight? Not later Oh perfect
Starting point is 01:17:10 By April 27th I've got a good chance You'll be in jail or dead We have a judge Just lay down a sentence. Get out. Have this man removed from the courtroom. Is that the name of the movie?
Starting point is 01:17:39 Have this man removed from the courtroom? Have this man... Get this man some soup is the name of this movie. Calm this gentleman with some soup. No, it's famous. Like I thought, pointing out that the boxer was in it might have helped because it's a movie about slavery that was very
Starting point is 01:17:56 Roots. Yes. But you say it like this. It was a spin-off about a superhero named Rootsman. Rootsman. Rootsman. No. Blank Man?
Starting point is 01:18:07 This film was called Mandingo. Mandingo. A mandingo ate my baby. So that is a shitty way to win, Jeff. Congratulations. Jeff Tate is moving on to the next round of our competition.
Starting point is 01:18:34 And why don't we play one more round of the game, though, just for fun? We've got a couple minutes. Sure. Let's give the prize bag to... Why would I want my humiliation to be over? Where's Good Will Cox hunting? Where are you at?
Starting point is 01:18:48 There he is. Come grab your bag, dude. Hey, wait, dude. You want some... You want my robe? Yeah, and you get the robe as well. Let's play the stripper music. He probably wants his name tag back, too.
Starting point is 01:19:01 Do you want your name tag back? No, you can keep it. Oh, thanks. Jeff wants to keep it? He doesn't want to keep it? I'll take it. He's going to throw it out as soon as he gets a chance.
Starting point is 01:19:11 My feelings aren't hurt. I'll take it. You hear that, June? That's class. That's class over there. We'll keep it because we don't want you to use it again anyway.
Starting point is 01:19:18 You won. That sounded really drunk when I said that. Yeah, yeah. We don't want you You use it again. Still don't sound like the drunkest guy in the room. I'll get there by 8 o'clock when my competition's gone. And in April, I think I'm going to do sober April this year.
Starting point is 01:19:38 I think I'm not going to drink in April. Oh, I'm going to get hella high, though. So don't you worry. I love the weird social, like when you go, I don't think I'm going to drink anymore. There are people who are like, no! Why would you? Why would you ever? How do you talk to people?
Starting point is 01:19:57 Don't take care of yourself. Why would you? What are you just going to? Ruin your body in relationships like me? Please, it validates that I'm not wrong. Just coffee and weed. If someone's choosing not to drink during an entire month, there might be a reason.
Starting point is 01:20:17 You might not want to just say boo. Also, you don't necessarily have to weigh in. It's a decision. I'm not going to eat at Burger King for a whole month. Boo! But it's cool. I mean, cool for you, but boo.
Starting point is 01:20:36 You're no fun anymore. I can't talk to girls unless I had two double cheeseburgers. Really loosens me up. One clenched in each fist. really loosens me up one clenched in each fist that's how you pick up women this is fuck you money I got fuck you money
Starting point is 01:20:52 these are New York prices six dollars on these cheeseburgers no you can't have it breakfast at Tiffany's fuck that dinner at BK I eat my Burger King staring into the Tiffany's window
Starting point is 01:21:06 Someday I keep waiting for Rob to jump in with Name that movie Name that movie right now Alright Who gets to go first? Who was left out of that last skirmish That settled this whole thing?
Starting point is 01:21:27 Jeff had to answer it. Rob. Wait. Jeff challenged Rob. That's right. Yeah. So it's back to me. Start with you, John. You get to pick the final category.
Starting point is 01:21:34 Death at a funeral. This means nothing. Scenes from a mall. That's what you got it confused with. Yeah, but that's fair, right? No, I understand. I knew that I was going to get it wrong, but I had to. I knew Dinklage was in both those movies.
Starting point is 01:21:47 Fake Dinklage buff. Forget it, June. I'm sorry. Would you like... Yes. I love this category. Suggested by Gregory Pex. P-E-C-S. Well-earned snort, Gregory Pex.
Starting point is 01:22:01 Well-earned snort of delight from me. Box of chocolate, which is any movie ever made, because you never know what you're going to get. Or, Akon movies suggested. I think this is the actual... I'll take the first category. Okay, let's do it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:31 This movie is from 2009. It's from all movies ever made. Zero names. Two stars from Leonard I don't think I could name a movie from 2009 Two stars from Leonard He says about this movie That a few scenes
Starting point is 01:22:57 Have an undeniable power To unsettle And the lead performances Are spot on And it was freely adapted from a story called button button zero names no yeah zero he lists six names zero he says zero names Six names. Zero. He says zero names, Jeff.
Starting point is 01:23:26 Name it. Now, let me ask you real quickly. Would you be willing to give up your championship status if he names it correctly? What do you mean? I'm just joking around. Just trying to give some sort of excitement to this last silly part. But I guess it's kind of exciting that outside of actual play, John Hodgman can correctly name a movie. Well, we don't know that yet. And the film is called...
Starting point is 01:23:54 The Box? That's correct! Oh! Wow. Wow. Killed it. That is... But I'm going to try to play that one again
