And then they gave me a hoodie and a T-shirt that are very nice and black and the wrong size.

Thank you to all of you
For being here
Taking time out of your busy, busy, busy holiday
schedules.
You're welcome.
Let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically by first name.
Jesus.
You heard me, Wayne.
That's right, Wayne.
Sorry.
So close.
Sorry, man. It happens.
I can handle it.
Yeah, you'll be okay. It's gonna be fine.
She,
am I doing this right?
Yeah, she is
a stand-up comedian
and Emmy-winning
comedy writer, Eliza Skinner,
everybody!
Yay! Me!
You guys are very good looking.
Oh,
it is a nice crowd,
but also the lights are very low.
I just like to mirror back what they're thinking about me.
Oh,
that's nice of you to do that to them,
for them.
How are the holidays treating you,
Eliza?
Not good. Oh, no.
What happened?
What happened? Well, my
cat is sick. I'm
a middle-aged white woman. My cat is sick
and my dog
now has a broken toe.
So it's really, you know,
I'm in the service of two small elderly
animals right now
and it's a bummer. Well, I'm sorry you service of two small elderly animals right now. And it's a bummer.
Well, I'm sorry you had to leave them for a couple hours to come do this.
Thank you for giving me a reason.
Oh, it's a nice break?
Yeah, yeah, it is.
And you needed an excuse.
They wouldn't accept you just leaving for no reason.
If I'm like, I'm going to take a walk, they're like, what?
And with this, I'm like, I'm going to earn our rent.
Yeah.
And they're like, okay, get out of here.
Get that cabbage, yeah. All right. And they're like, okay, get out of here. Get that cabbage.
Yeah.
All right.
So they're reasonable animals ultimately.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sure.
They don't just force you to stay home all the time.
No,
just daytimes.
Okay.
So,
but what about the holidays?
I'm going to be here.
Cause they could do,
those things could happen to your pets any time of year
yeah they don't know it's just been bad timing for you because you'd rather just enjoy the
holidays yeah like it's been kind of cramping my holiday party style all that stuff you know
um but uh but i did put up my christmas tree um i have plans i've been watching a lot of movies.
I watched the Christmas classic Agnes of God today.
So, you know.
That's not a... No, it's not.
Not in any way.
It's about a nun who kills a baby.
I'm sorry, what?
Agnes of God?
It's about a nun who kills a baby.
Spoiler.
I like how if you said it to him again,
then he'd know what you were talking about.
Agnes of God.
Yes.
Oh, that Agnes.
Yes.
Of all the Agneses.
Agnes is such a weird,
like you picture an old lady
when you hear that name.
No, I've seen some fine Agneses.
Or an old nun.
Really?
She's like 72,
but she's still got it.
Oh, okay.
She's still got it.
Yeah, because there was Meg Tilly in the movie, yeah? Yeah.
Then I went on a whole Meg Tilly run, watched a bunch of
Meg Tillys. Oh, okay.
I know Meg Tilly is happy. Y'all mentioned her a lot on
this podcast. She was fun.
Her ghost. I liked Meg Tilly.
She was in Big Chill.
Yeah, that's right.
Alright, yeah, lighting up the crowd with all
these references. No points to win
just yet, but you were right.
Sorry.
That was correct.
That's just the way my boring brain thinks.
Also joining us today, thank you.
Thank you, Eliza.
Also joining us today, a stand-up comedian and Emmy-winning writer.
That's definitely not me.
No?
All right.
Well, I'm going to say it anyway.
It's Jay Washington!
Look, I'm going to tell you something.
I'm going to win an Emmy.
I'm going to claim that, though.
I'm going to claim I'm going to win an Emmy very soon.
But look, I ain't winning one right now.
I don't want y'all to be looking up for an Emmy.
Like, I ain't see his name on no list.
So yeah, I'm happy to be here.
Very happy to be here.
I'm very nervous on this stool.
I don't feel like you want to hold my thick ass up.
Just want you to know that, Doug.
I was concerned about that stool in particular.
Yeah, this motherfucker is raw.
Beforehand, I was like, this thing is not good.
No, I don't want to move him.
I'm just going to move him.
I'm good.
I'm not even going to breathe that much.
I think if you stay perfectly still, it'll be fine.
Oh, shit.
I'm going to look like a gargoyle statue up here.
Just like he's frozen. Tap me if you
need spotting.
I can't move.
I'm just going to blink my right eye
real quick. Please look at me and I'm not having a stroke.
You're my favorite gargoyle
in baggy camo.
Thank you.
God damn it, Doug.
But are you having a good holiday season,
or are you concerned about Liza's pets?
I'm concerned for Liza's pets, mainly the dog,
because the dog is so cute.
I just saw the dog on the phone.
I lost my voice from all these holiday parties.
I'm holiday partied out.
I've been going to holiday parties since December 4th and I
just want this shit to end right now.
I don't give a fuck about none of these holidays
no more. I'm at the point, god damn it,
bring on Dr. King Day so I can just do something
productive and read and celebrate.
I don't even want Kwanzaa at this point
because I feel like it's going to be seven days of
Kwanzaa celebrations and I got to deal with a bunch of
seven day black people. I don't want to deal with this.
There's been too much partying, with a bunch of seven day black people. I don't want to deal with this. It's been too much party and not enough holidays.
Seven day black people.
Is that from the people who brought you 90 day fiance?
Coming soon to the Ray J network.
Yep.
Seven day black people.
No one can handle more than a week.
They thought it was going to be
31 days.
But little did they know
it would only be
seven.
How long is a fortnight?
Is that a week?
Two nights?
Two weeks.
Two weeks.
Let me tell you something.
They never taught us that in Chicago public schools. I never thought I was going to believe. Apparently the game Okay. Let me tell you something. They never taught us that in the fucking Chicago public schools.
I never thought I was going to believe.
Apparently the game Fortnite doesn't teach you that either.
Yeah, the game Fortnite is a whole different thing.
But they're not going to be like, yo, you're going to need to know how long a Fortnite is when you write a check using the Pythagorean theorem.
None of this shit I use in real life, okay?
But no, holidays have been good, man.
I'm just sleepy.
Because I've just been so busy in a good way.
But again, a lot of holiday parties and just work.
And now I'm concerned about Eliza's cat.
No, I'm really concerned.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Because I'm a middle-aged black man.
And I just watch a lot of cartoons.
I love that both of you, Eliza and Jay, have described to the listeners what you are.
Yes.
In case anybody
was thrown off.
I was just trying to get out
in front of that cliche
of like,
my whole life is
my cat and dog.
Right.
Well,
what are you going to do,
though?
Live that cliche.
Cats and dogs are amazing.
Right?
They're better than most things.
They're good for me
when I got clarity.
I have allergies.
Arms length.
Arms length. Yeah, that's true.
I was not much of a cat person for a long
time because of my allergies, but then
I just pushed
through.
Just met some cats and got cool with it.
A couple days of face swelling, just got with it?
Yeah, you just get past it.
Now I'm cool with cats.
Yeah, he's like, hey, I'm just going to make his
three more days, man.
Face swollen, eyes closed.
I just still love y'all.
Well, speaking of face swollen and eyes closed,
our next guest...
I am a little doughy,
but I wouldn't use the word swollen.
Our next guest is a standard
comedian and
emmy winning comedy writer producer come on emmy winning producer it's wayne fetterman
thank you guys thank you for showing up eating i love it so you've you produced award-winning
fair but you didn't write award-winning fare. Correct, correct. Been nominated, but no.
You never know.
You never know.
Who knows?
It could happen at any time.
I have a hunch.
Any minute it could happen.
Thanks for being here, Wayne.
Thank you.
Do you want to know about my holidays?
Not really.
I didn't think so.
You're going to not contribute anything to that conversation, really.
You're just as anxious as I am to talk about movies.
Yes, I do.
I've been on a jag.
Not the TV show, but the...
The expression for somebody who just goes off about something.
You went off on a jag.
Yes, I've been on a movie going jag.
Is that correct?
Going to the... I think I've been on a movie going jag. Is that correct? Going to the movie.
I think I've seen maybe.
You don't know that expression, Jay?
Hell no.
You just take the Y out of your name and replace it with a G.
No, we just don't do that.
I'm going to go for a jag.
That sounds like something completely different.
Do you know the expression, I'm on a tear?
Yeah.
That's jag is the same thing.
I'm on a jag.
I'm on a jag, so it's like my hand's occupied.
Right, right.
Like you're jagged off.
I didn't say it was a good expression.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
Or that it didn't sound like masturbating.
Yeah, if you were tearing off your dick, that would be something different.
That would be LSD.
Terrifying.
Sorry, guys.
That's what you got all night.
Dick tears. And movies. Sorry, guys. That's what you got all night. Big tears.
And movies.
Not all night.
You'll get out of here at a reasonable time.
Does anybody have to work in the morning?
Because they told us we have to wrap this up by 2 a.m.
They told us.
They told us.
They told us in the pre-show speech.
Yeah, they told us. They sat us down They told us in the pre-show speech. Yeah, they told us.
They sat us down.
They paced back and forth.
Said, listen, there's another show at 9.30,
but we need yours done by 2 a.m.
We'll just push you guys to the side.
We might have two shows going on once,
like a split-screen situation.
They took out the laser pointer.
They made clear.
That's corporate. They asked you about a timeshare. Yeah, the whole thing. They made clear. That's corporate.
They asked you about a timeshare.
Yeah, the whole thing.
Somebody had a whole PowerPoint.
It was all beautiful.
I have a question for each of you.
It's the same question.
I love it.
For everybody.
Okay.
Are we going to do it in order of first name alphabetically?
Yeah, we've established that's going to be the order until it becomes not the order.
Okay.
Things could change at any moment.
This show's crazy.
I don't save all the twists for the final act.
Of course, of course.
That could happen at any time.
But yeah, you're last in this one, Wayne, so cool your jets.
Did you see the movie Killer by any chance?
The one with what's his name?
Yeah. Where he goes out and does that
stuff?
Yeah, it's the new
David Fincher starring
what's his name? Oh, is that the Michael Fassbender?
Fassbender. Okay, I had to think about it for a second.
Written by the guy who wrote
Seven. Yeah,
Andy Walker. Andy David
Walker. Yeah, you know the three. Andrew David Walker. Yeah, yeah. Andy Walker. David, Andy, David Walker. Yeah, yeah. You know the three.
Andrew, David Walker.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
But there's a quick twist in that right at the top.
It's really fun.
The killer starts with a twist?
Yep.
Starts with a twist.
Can I guess it?
Will you tell me it's right if I guess it?
Well, on the air, you want to do it and ruin it for everyone?
Well, if it's at the beginning of the movie, that seems like it's not a twist.
If it's immediate.
All right.
Okay, yeah.
Go ahead.
Guess.
Does it start with
Gwyneth's head in a box still?
What's in the box?
That's what was in the box?
Yeah.
What's in the box?
That movie makes
so much more sense now.
Oh, my God.
Speaking of spoilers.
I never knew.
I can't believe I just gave away what happens in Seven.
So Seven.
So Seven.
As they spell it, yeah.
I thought it was one of those things like, you know, what Bill Murray whispers in Lost in Translation.
Like you're never supposed to really know.
I thought it was the baby.
What?
Remember, she was pregnant. Oh, that's true. She was pregnant. I thought it was the baby. What? Remember, she was pregnant.
Oh, that's true.
Oh, that they ripped the baby out.
I thought it was the baby.
Okay, that could be it.
Because it could have been as sick as it, like, you know, my Santa's envy.
It was a big box.
It could have been both.
This is true.
It could have been the baby's head.
It's not up for interpretation.
It's definitely her head.
You mean you thought it was a baby until they revealed that it was her head?
Yes.
Okay.
I thought you were, to this day, sticking to the thought it was a baby until they revealed that it was her head? Yes. Okay. I thought you were to this day sticking to the, it was a baby theory.
Listen, I've had my, I've got my own version of seven.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
Your version.
No, but the question I want to ask everybody, I've been asking about holiday movies for
the whole month and I'm sick of it.
Yeah.
You know, it's time to wrap that up.
So what I want to ask you about is,
and I feel like Wayne's going to have an answer,
but I'm sort of springing this on the other two guests
because they probably don't think in these terms.
Maybe Jay does.
But we'll start with you, Eliza.
Great.
Favorite movie.
Please recommend or tell us
your favorite or best movie of
this past year of 2023.
Oh, I love it. Oh.
May, December. There you go.
Yeah. Strong answer.
Got a big reaction from the crowd.
It's a hot crowd. Look,
this room is tough because
every time I perform in here, I feel like there's clearly an apocalypse going on outside,
and we're all locked in here.
I don't know what it is about how dark the doorway is,
but it's just like, all right, guys.
Well, at least we've got this.
It'll be okay.
We've got each other.
It'll be okay.
Let's tell some jokes.
We're in the bunker.
Yeah, we've got some time.
Let's go ahead and make a podcast.
Yeah.
Let's play some movie trivia.
Yeah, Todd Haynes, he's great.
Fuck.
Are my kids alive?
Are you a Todd Haynes?
Do you like all Todd Haynes movies?
I do.
And after I watched May, December,
I realized there was a couple of holes
in my Todd Haynes experience,
including Carol,
which I thought I had seen seen but apparently i'd only seen
like the first 20 minutes a hundred times um but uh yeah starting with um uh uh velvet goldmine
love todd haynes weirdly one of my other favorites i don't know maybe this isn't weird
it's good to like somebody's stuff dark waters Waters. I fucking love Dark Waters. Thank you.
There you go.
I'm from Virginia,
and I grew up going to high school
across the street from DuPont,
so seeing the story about somebody taking down DuPont,
I'm like, yeah, finally.
They were really shitty parkers.
That's Mark Ruffalo?
Yeah.
Mark Ruffalo takes them down
with the help of Anne Hathaway.
She's at home going, you get him, honey.
Yeah, a lot of dead cows.
She's very supportive.
A lot of gross dead cow stuff.
So if that's your thing, Dark Waters.
Wait, so that was from a previous year.
That's a couple years old.
So you're going with May, December.
May, December is my favorite this year.
Yeah, I'm really excited any time I get to natalie portman not be like a pathetic victim i feel
like that's a that's it she's good at it but nobody thinks of her like casting directors
are like wow we have like a really fucked up person who's gonna fight something not natalie
um and every now and then someone is like give her a a shot. Yeah, she's fine. She's in her nasty bitch era.
Yeah, her Vox Lux closer era.
Yeah.
You know, yeah.
She usually plays characters that are like, you know, smiling or, you know, performing
for somebody or, you know, presenting in some way.
And this one, like, she let the curtain down and was just an unpleasant person.
Yeah, everybody.
Everybody's so unpleasant. Did you ever see her in the
professional?
Yes, Wayne, I did.
And I had to sign up for a program
and tell
all my neighbors.
Yeah, she's talking about that
now. Yeah, she's like,
maybe that was inappropriate
what we were doing there. saw harry connick
jr at the hollywood bowl when he brought his kid out this was probably like i don't know seven
eight years ago he brought his daughter out and was like she's torn with me it's so great
you know and uh yeah because that's him he's like this is my daughter everybody come on bang bang
um and the guys in front of me,
we were sitting behind this row of older men,
and they started talking about how his daughter
wasn't as hot as Natalie Portman in The Professionals.
They were like, she's not really that hot.
Oh, do you remember Natalie Portman?
Yeah, see, that was a hot kid.
And I was like, would it be okay with the Hollywood Bowl
if I unzipped my skin
and left it here as i exited the venue right now because i'd like to do that it's so funny too that
she in this movie may december she plays a character who at one point is discussing the
casting of a 13 year old actor and she's talking about how he's not sexy enough yeah yeah i mean
i'm also like i'm i'm apparently i think one of three people who really likes vox lux and she's talking about how he's not sexy enough. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I'm also, like, I'm apparently, I think,
one of three people who really likes Vox Lux,
and that's one of the things I liked about that, too,
that she played the older version of a younger person
who gets horribly sexualized as a kid,
and then when she grows up, she's this monster pop singer.
Okay, you guys watch that and then come back
and listen to the podcast version of this and you'll
be like she's right she's right now may december is uh interesting also for the fact that uh it
just recently got some golden globe nominations in the musical or comedy category and i swear
there's plenty of people out there that turn on their Netflix and watch some or all of that movie
and do not find it funny in the least.
Was it Ad Astra that had Robert Pattinson in it?
Oh, dear God.
Or that was Brad Pitt astronaut movie.
What was the one with Robert Pattinson?
Do you know what I'm talking about?
Where he was an astronaut?
Yeah, he was in the sci-fi movie
where he's on a spaceship
and I went to see that and there's a scene in it where this french actress goes into a film it goes into a
room and it's like a sex room and then like water like fluid starts pouring out under the door and
there was a family sitting right in space in space there's a family sitting next to me that
clearly was like we just like twilight what's happening? And they got up and left.
And I was like,
we need to break out of that shell, Robert Pattinson.
I'd say most diehard Twilight fans
have never been satisfied by another Robert Pattinson film
ever again,
because he's in some fucked up movies.
Yes, he is.
Yeah.
He likes really dark material.
Lighthouse recently?
Batman?
Yeah.
Yeah, and his Batman, obviously, is quite dark.
All right, Jay.
Here's the question.
Top movie for you of 2023.
It is actually a tie.
Because I had to remember what I watched.
I will not accept a tie.
God damn it, Doug.
All right.
You can tell us, too, and we'll figure it out.
So between They Clone Tyrone and Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse.
Okay.
That was one.
I remember I was at the premiere of Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse,
and I remember watching it, and I knew it was going to be another movie behind it.
But when it got to the end, it was like, to be continued.
I was like, no, the fuck is not.
Finish this shit now. I was aggressive. And they was like, sir, you need to calm down. I was like to be continued i was like no the fuck is not finish this shit now i was aggressive and they was like sir you need to calm down i was like shut the fuck up play the rest of the movie and so that was that but then
i watched they clone tyrone and i was like oh jamie foxx got a bad wig on like this is a tyler
perry movie cool and then i watched black twitter going a whole lot of conspiracy theories saying
that they cloned jamie foxx for real and that he, you know, remember when Jamie Foxx
was sick and everybody thought he was dying?
And then he popped back up. Well, black Twitter said
they really cloned him and it ain't really Jamie Foxx.
And I was like, this is great.
I love my people. This is
fucking amazing. So, but no,
They Cloned Tyrone is a real good movie. It's a lot, it's very
satirical, but it's like
Sorry to Bother You meets Black Dynamite.
And it's very funny. It has a lot of different messages in it, but it's like, sorry to bother you meets Black Dynamite. And it's,
it's very funny.
It has a lot of
different messages in it.
But if I really have to pick,
because I know
this is what Doug's going to make.
Pressure's on.
I'm going to pick
Spider-Man Across Spider-Verse.
Was Spider-Man
the first
Spider-Verse movie?
Was that one,
was that number one
in its year for you?
Absolutely not.
There was so much in that year that it came out.
But it was like number one in my heart.
But so now this next, the sequel, it really is that much better.
Yes, the sequel amped it up.
Or is the bar lower this year?
No, no.
The bar is not that much lower.
Okay.
Well, no, I think the problem is there's a lot of good movies that came out this year.
But you wouldn't know, like not you you all but the average person wouldn't know
because we've been on strike we were on strike for so much of the summer so with the writers and
actors us being on strike there was nothing promoted everything just dropped and you was
like oh that came out that came out yeah like i went and saw strays and i was like i wish a dog
would bite me right now after watching this movie did Did you ever see that movie, Doug? I didn't see Strays.
Oh my God.
It's with Will Ferrell and Jamie Foxx voicing dogs
and the whole point of the movie
is Will Ferrell's dog is trying to find his owner
so he can bite his dick off.
That's the whole point of the movie.
It's the whole two hours of the movie.
He just wanted to find his owner to bite his dick off.
Well, you know, now I'm intrigued, of course.
But also, I think what will really sell it for me
is if he indeed bites his dick off.
Spoiler alert, he does.
Yes, I'm in.
They actually go through with it.
Now I'm in.
I was going to go watch that tonight.
I feel like more movies just needed to tack their name onto Barbie.
Like the Barbenheimer,, if it just could have
kept going.
They cut out the scene, though, where Barbie
bites Ken's dick off.
It explains so much.
I know. It explains the anatomy so much.
It's just not there from jump, and they
could have really explained it.
Is that in the Tarantino cut?
No, that's when they chew on the Barbie feet.
Yeah, the Tarantino cut. People at home are going to love that. Keep that in on the Barbie feet. Oh. Yeah, the Tarantino kind of Barbies.
People at home are going to love that.
Keep that in.
All Barbie feet all the time.
Okay, so we're going with Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse.
Across the Spider-Verse.
Okay.
What do you want?
What do you...
I almost said, what do you want, Wayne?
What do you want?
This is what I want.
First of all, I think it's interesting that the big movie,
like Barbie, Oppenheimer, the one about the Osage Nation.
What is that called?
Killers.
Flowers, Moons.
Nobody has picked that as their best movie.
It's kind of interesting.
Killers, Moons, Flowers, and Stars.
Lucky Charms.
I got kicked out of Barbie after the first hour.
So it was a jubilee thing.
I didn't do anything.
But I went with my friend Guy Branum.
And he had bought tickets for the wrong day.
So it ended up that we were sneaking into the movie.
Oh, that's hilarious.
And so we were trying to play it cool.
But there was a loud toddler.
So everybody was complaining about the toddler.
So they came in and they kicked Guy out
instead of the toddler,
so I left with Guy.
Did they think that he was a giant toddler
they were looking for?
I think, well, yeah,
because he was like,
I found a seat and he didn't,
but so a lady followed us out
when the usher kicked us out
and was like,
we didn't mean them,
we meant that baby,
and I was like,
the lady's trying,
she's just,
she's got a baby.
I think the baby's quieter now, but they were mad that they kicked us out instead of the baby
yeah that's that's that's the the internet has been asking me for months why i got kicked out of
barbie after an hour you guys know i have to shamingly admit i didn't see barbie yet and i
say it's shamingly because a friend of mine is one of the Barbies. It's streaming now.
I still haven't watched it.
It's on Max.
Can I guess which one's your friend?
Yes.
Margot Robbie.
No. It's Alexandra
Shipp.
Yeah, nice.
Alexandra Shipp.
I'd be like, I have watched
the trailer. I'd be like, I have watched the trailer.
All right.
Well, anyway, just tell her that I thought she was great in it.
I will tell her.
All right.
So, Wade, what's your favorite movie?
Well, this is going to be a real curveball.
Oh, I see.
You were doing a big ramp up, naming all those other big popular movies.
It's going to be a real curveball because you know i
don't like foreign films you know that about me and i like to watch movies and i read them
yeah but there's a movie called anatomy of a fall that i thought was phenomenal
wow do you feel like there's a lot of phenomenal movies you've missed because of not wanting to
watch foreign i mean i've've seen the classics and stuff,
but even, just so you know,
there was a movie that was subtitled,
I know it was a joint Polish-Russian-US production
of what's it called?
Zone of Interest?
Yeah.
Did you know that?
We got some award interest.
I walked out of that.
Wow.
That's how much I don't like reading movies.
How do you feel about all the dubbing these days? I feel like there's more dubbing. I walked out of it. That's how much I don't like reading movies. How do you feel about all the
dubbing these days? I feel like there's more dubbing.
I don't know.
It all depends on the movie, but this
movie was really... I think Zone of Interest
is a fun movie to walk out of because if anybody
says, why are you leaving? Say, well, I
heard there's a more interesting Zone of
Interest.
This is just outside my zone.
Pretty much any
other zone would be more interesting.
So anyway, I know a lot of people
haven't heard of this movie, but I thought it was
quite... Anatomy of a Fall.
It's a courtroom drama.
But in other
languages. In France.
French.
French.
It's in France language.
It's in France.
They put some
French dressing on it.
What'd you like about it?
Great follow-up
question, Eliza.
Sorry.
No, I'm serious.
It kind of reminded me
of Gremlins 2.
What?
No.
Sorry, what?
The new batch?
Yeah, the new batch.
With the electro gremlin? Oh, so there's a character for everyone? Spider gremlin? Okay, the new batch. The new batch. With an electro gremlin?
Oh, so there's a character for everyone.
Spider gremlin?
Okay.
A lawyer for each of us.
I don't know.
I just thought it was compelling.
Phenomenal performance by a lot of people around it.
And just compelling little movie.
They're saying Best Picture nominations in the cards for it.
Okay.
So there you go.
People like it. I think that's crazy this year. The movies that nobody heard of are going to be the ones for it. Okay. So there you go. People like it. I think that's crazy
this year. The movies that nobody heard of are going to be
the ones nominated for Best Picture.
That's always.
How often are you like, man, I got to watch The Artist?
Woo!
See?
That's a great example.
The Academy definitely doesn't have their
finger on the pulse of what
people like.
I gave up when Fury Road got nominated but didn't win because I was like, come on, let's all be honest with ourselves.
We love that movie.
We don't even know what won that year.
What do you think about this new one that's coming out?
I'm excited.
Young Furiosa.
Joy doesn't look human.
She looks like she's CGI created.
Right, because her eyes are by her ears.
Yeah, her eyes are like, she got chameleon eyes almost but it's like it doesn't every time i watch the trailer i was like
that isn't a real person and they was like no that's her real face and i'm like stop telling
me that because it was like no it's real i'm like that's not real but also i don't understand why
she's doing that fucking accent because charlie's throne didn't have that accent in fury road like
if you watch the movie again because i'm'm like, this is a prequel.
What happened in those 20 years that she was like, I'm going to lose an accent?
That much time on the road, you lose an accent.
I guess so.
What's her accent in this new one?
Less furious.
What is that, the prequel to the Fast and Furious movies?
I think it's like an Australian accent of sorts.
And it's like, no, she wasn't doing that.
Oh, maybe that's because they filmed it down under.
And so she just was like, got it from the crew.
I guess so.
She just picks it up.
Dingo ate my baby.
Yeah, it's like a semester abroad.
She just comes back being like, spotty.
My friends all did that in England.
Okay.
Well, those were three terrific, you know, I mean, I've only seen, I've seen one of them.
And, but these are all very acclaimed motion pictures that you picked.
So I feel like they're all contenders for best movie of the year.
And we are going to play some games right after this break.
We'll be right back.
We're back.
Yay!
Yay!
All right.
So during the break,
we selected people in the audience
that my guests are going to play on behalf of to win the Aura Frames and some stuff from Cannabis Cafe.
And they are Eliza's playing for Chelsea.
Jay is playing for Ciaran.
And Wayne is playing for Alicia.
And just add an end to everything.
Chelsea and CiarN and Alicia.
Here we go.
Here we go.
I'm going to sit down on Jay's wobbly stool.
The wobbly stool.
Oh, my God.
It's crazy.
I can't believe you were put up with it for as long as you did.
Thank God I have this table to hold me up.
See?
The first game we're going to play tonight is,
this will be the last time we play it for a little while,
because it's called IMDB XMAS.
IMDB Christmas.
On the page of every motion picture on the Internet movie database, they list at the top, they'll say the top four billed people in whatever the given movie is.
And what I'll do is I will start to name the top four billed people, according to IMDDB, for a particular holiday film.
You know, holiday in quotes.
As I'm saying them, you can guess.
Everybody on stage gets to guess as often as they like
until somebody figures out, you know, says the correct title.
And then I will announce you the winner of that particular point.
Can I guess before you say a name?
Pre-guess?
Pre-guess.
Like you have a guess right now?
Yeah.
For like the first round?
I'm looking at the first round.
What's your guess?
Love Actually?
No.
Just throw it out.
Save it for round two.
I don't know.
Just throw it out. That would don't know. Just throw it.
That would have been fun.
Just throwing out Love, Actually.
That would have been fun.
Love, Simon?
Or is this going to do love movies? But that would have been probably like Hugh Grant's probably top build for that one.
So it would be Hugh Grant and probably like Liam Neeson.
Emma Thompson.
Yeah.
Alan Rickman.
But it would be four names.
But you probably don't need to hear all four.
Of course.
Of course.
It was just crazy. I was just feeling confident.
Yeah.
And I just, I don't want to, like, get anybody too revved up or too excited.
But Eliza was nice enough to bring an extra item that's going to go in the prize package tonight.
Yeah, that's right.
I almost kept this for myself.
It's so good.
It's a pack of Tops bubblegum trading cards
from the television series Growing Pains.
Yeah, that's pretty good.
Yeah.
The way everybody just went, oh.
Y'all didn't give a shit when he was like,
Tops bubblegum, I don't give a shit.
Growing Pains.
You can resell that frame.
That's pretty exciting.
I agree with you guys.
Yeah, that's a pretty exciting item.
So that's how serious these games are.
Can I tell you what I would have brought if you had reminded me to bring something?
Yes.
Well, I don't ask my guests to bring stuff anymore.
But if I did, what would you have brought?
Saltburn screener.
A screener you got of that terrific movie Salt Burn
You are petty
Probably your second choice
It's your second choice for movie of the year right
Salt Burn
You haven't watched the screener
You're going to give it away before watching it
I like watching movies in the theater
I know what I would have gave
And people might have hated me
It would have been a nice blu-ray or 4k copy
Of the critically acclaimed film Morbius.
Wow.
I mean, I also brought a balaclava that I knitted, and I don't know why.
Why does it look like it has a price tag on it?
Oh, that's the care tag that I put on it.
Oh.
But I'm not going to make someone take home
this weird balaclava that I knitted for no good reason.
That's a big ass safety pin.
Yeah, that was all I could find.
I told, I was like, I got to get stuff.
All right, I have another pre-guess.
See, this is what happens, Eliza.
If you don't, if you stall,
he's going to come up with another pre-guess.
Sorry, everybody else, okay.
What's your next pre-guess, Wayne?
Oh no, I was just kidding.
Am I allowed to?
No.
I don't know what any of this pre-guess nonsense is about.
Play the game.
Exactly.
Play the goddamn game.
We're going to play the real game.
I'm just going to guess holiday movies
because I know about six Juneteenth movies
that I'm going to guess.
I think he means this holiday specifically.
That's more than me, shit.
I was like, there's six? That's this holiday specifically. That's more than me, shit. I was like,
there's six?
That's my favorite holiday.
That's my favorite holiday.
I know a couple of St. Patrick's Day films.
Wait, is this all holidays
or Christmas specific?
It's basically Christmas.
Winter holidays.
You know how this goes.
When you say holidays,
there's a few movies
that creep in there.
Yeah, he threw a Juneteenth.
Dr. King Day.
He made a wrench.
He said holidays.
Juneteenth is an official holiday.
All right, I'm ready.
Let's do the names.
In the rules.
The blackening.
All the blackening.
To recap for any audience members who don't know what the fuck is happening.
I'm going to start reading the top four names.
Top four build in a Christmas or holiday themed motion picture.
And you four, three, you three
on stage, just
guess wildly until somebody
gets it. Cool.
Top build in this first
title is

You either know it or you don't when you hear the name Jim Carrey in Christmas movie.
But they said it.

Yeah, there's that one.
That's a pretty iconic
Christmas Jim Carrey choice.
Jim Carrey,
Gary Oldman,
Colin Firth,
Steve Valentine.
Dumb and Dumber?
Santa LLC.
Is that a real thing?
Yeah.
He is in the marketing department for Santa Corp.
No.

No matter how much you make up about it, that's not going to make it the answer.
All right, but call me.
I can pitch the whole thing.
I was going to be really fucking amazed if she was right.
What is it?
What is it?
It is A Christmas Carol.
What?
Starring Jim Carrey. Massive hit movie.
Animated. Robert Zemeckis directed it.
Jim Carrey played a bunch
of the roles.
They made like 18 million of those.
Ain't that a bitch?
My leg went to sleep on this.
So there you go.
That's round one out of 42 rounds. So here you go. All right. So that's round one out of 42 rounds.
So here we go.
Let's just play the game and come up with a winner.
I wasn't thinking animated.
I'm going to keep playing the game while Wayne continues to speak.
Okay.
Go ahead.
I was thinking animated.
Ready for the next round?
Yeah, we're ready.
It's not Doug Loves Animated.
Make some more comments. Exactly. Keep next round? Yeah, we're ready. It's not Doug Loves Animated.

If you could think of the name of that fucking movie.
Julian Dennison.
Not my Santa.
Demison.
Santa who?
Julian Demison.
Baby Santa. I love. Santa who? Juliet Demison. Baby Santa.
I love that in this one, you're all supposed to be yelling out The Christmas Chronicles because it's a famous Christmas movie that starred Kurt Russell.
All right.
But then when you yell that out, I would say, no, that's incorrect.
Because this is the sequel, The Christmas Chronicles Part 2.
Okay.

Is it that?
The answer is A Christmas Story Christmas.
Yeah.
Very good. Nice. Very good.
Nice.
All right.
I think I was right.
You guys are going to be terrible
at every single one of these.
I love how obscure these are.
This is...
A Christmas Story Christmas.
They're not that obscure.
They are.
Hold on.
For those in attendance,
who the fuck heard of
A Christmas Story Christmas?
It just came out last year
and was heavily publicized.
Oh, I didn't know the name was...
The kid grown up.
I described it correctly.
I just...
It would have been a better name.
My dad's dad.

That's good.
That's true.
Thank you.
Okay, round five.
Nobody has any points.
Right.
Mila Kunis.
Jesus.
Santa Fe.
Oh, bad mom's Christmas.
There you go.
We got... Jay Washington is on the board.

All right.
It's a real relief.
All right.
One point for Jay.
That's work.
Yes.
Round six.
Steve Martin.
Mixed nuts.
That is correct.
Eliza. Jesus. Fuck yeah. I was like,. That is correct. Eliza.
Jesus.
I was like, Mixed Nuts is going to be in the bag.
That was, wow.
This is a really unpredictable group up here.
I thought Mixed Nuts might have been one of the tougher ones.
But it turns out that was an easy one.
Real unapproachable crowd.
Yeah.
Madeline Kahn, Robert Klein, and Anthony LaPaglia
were the remaining top four.
I believe Liev Schreiber is...
Parker Posey and Adam Sandler.
He's got a big cast, but it did not work out.
I do not recommend it.
Nora Ephron, yeah.
Okay.
This is so exciting because
round six starts
with Richard.
You could say Sir Richard
Attenborough.
Sir Richard.
Second build
Elizabeth
Perkins.
Third
Dylan McDermott. A white movie. Perkins. Third,
Dylan McDermott.
A white movie.
The Family Stone?
The fourth name will be no help to anyone.
The great character actor,
great late character actor, J.T. Walsh.
Oh, I know who that is.
Yeah. Does that help you answer?
It's the one that's not Family stone, but I'm getting mixed up.
Oh, Love the Coopers or whatever that's called?
Give me the four names again.
Just run them through.
Is it that?
Oh, fuck.
No, it's not that.
Richard Attenborough.
Yes.
Elizabeth Perkins.
Dylan McDermott.
And J.T. Walsh.
A bit of a Christmas.
Is it the exorcist?
Home for the holidays.
Yeah, that's the one I remember.
This is a remake of a very popular holiday movie,
and it's called Miracle on 34th Street.
I said it! I said it!
No, I said it!
Oh, that is true.
You can't yell out the answer while I'm saying the answer.
But I did follow you. It was already done. You can't yell out the answer while I'm saying the answer. But I did.
But I just followed you.
It was already done.
You know what I mean?
It was done.
He played Santa.
I don't have any bells or anything.
I remember this.
Here we go.
Dylan McDermott was a little girl.
I know.
All right.
So, Wayne, you have to sit this last one out.
Why?
Because we're going to break the tie.
I got you.
I got you.
Sorry. That's all right. You'll be back in our next game. We still got two're going to break the tie. I got you. Sorry.
That's alright. You'll be back in our next game.
We've still got two more games to play.
And we'll start with you.
I mean,
I'll start with the next round
of this game that begins
with Nicolas Cage.
National Treasure 2, Book of Secrets.
National Treasure.
I don't believe either of those were Christmas movies.
Moonstruck.
Also not a Christmas.
Come on.
It might have been a Christmassy scene in Moonstruck.
Yeah, it's just snowing.
We're not meant to be perfect.
We're not the snowflakes.
We're meant to fuck up and love each other.
You know, that scene.
Yeah, that's Christmassy.
Scrooge.
No, he's not in that.
He's not in that.
Gone in 60 seconds.
All right, the second name
is John
Lovitz
pig
your personal opinions
don't need to be
no the movie
the movie
Nicholas Cage
John Lovitz
Dana Carvey
what comedy stand upitz, Dana Carvey.
What?
Comedy, stand-up comedy legend Dana Carvey.
Used to have a very weird picture of him drawn outside on the wall.
Annie.
I can't believe.
I devised a game where someone, one of the three of you was supposed to get every, you know what I mean?
There's supposed to be a correct answer eventually on each of these.
You look so disturbed and upset.
Well, it's just really surprising to me that we're through all of it.
We're down to a two-person tie.
And nobody knows the title of a movie that takes place at Christmas that stars Nicolas Cage
John Lovitz and Dana Carvey
as three bank robbers who get
trapped in a town called
Paradise
Paradise Cove
Trapped in Paradise
You've never heard of that movie?
Never heard of it
That's amazing
Doug who did you think was gonna
know that trapped in paradise starring nicholas cage yeah any of you all three of you claim to
love movies i do but i don't know anything yeah that's wild that you'd never even heard of it
no you didn't even remember disliking it because you you must have seen it. I think we heard his feelings. Did you?
Yeah.
Never heard of it.
No, it's just wild.
What year is that?
I think it's 19...
To be fair, we did name a lot of Nicolas Cage movies.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, to be fair, you did name a lot of Nicolas Cage movies.
I was about to go to Con Air and I'm going to keep playing.
Ooh.
Yeah.
All right.
So I guess we're going to have to call that one a tie as well.
And this next one, it's impossible for there is going to be a winner no matter what.
Right.
Absolutely guaranteed.
And the game is called How Long Is It?
And basically, oh, shit, I'm supposed to raise my hands when I say the name of a game that we're playing.
I've lost all control.
It's called How Long Is It?
Thanks, everybody.
How Long Is It is a game where I'll tell you something, I'll name something, and then you each guess how long it is.
I love it.
Yeah, that's what she said. And then you each guess how long it is. I love it. Please run it down.
Yeah, that's what she said.
And Price is Right style, whoever's closest without going over is going to be the winner.
I'm so childish right now.
Why?
What happened?
Because my brain is going to compare everything to my shoe size.
And I wear a 14.
Oh, I mean, when I say how long is it, it could be something that's quite long.
And in this case, I believe it is.
Because I need you to tell me the length of the Tom Hanks holiday movie oeuvre.
The two films that I consider to be Tom Hanks Christmas movies.
If you take the length of both of those movies, what's the total length in minutes?
The average Tom Hanks movie.
Or hours and minutes?
And are you telling us which order to answer in?
Or are we meant to just...
Okay. Eliza, you're up first. Motherfuck. Okay. hours and minutes. And are you telling us which order to answer in or are we meant to just, okay.
Eliza, you're up first.
Motherfuck, okay.
I'll double check your answer.
You don't have to stick to your
first answer.
240.
240.
No, wait, no, no.
210.
210 what?
Exactly, minutes. Okay. 210. 210 what? Exactly. Minutes.
Okay.
210 minutes.
Okay.
Jay?
What did she say again?
She said 210 minutes.
One dollar.
Oh, sorry. I can't do that. That said 210 minutes. One dollar. Oh, sorry.
I can't do that.
That doesn't work.
315.
315 minutes?
Yeah, total.
Okay.
If you go two different movies, it could be different lengths each one.
I'm just going to take a guess.
That is part of it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It could be the same length.
That'd be weird, but.
All right. I'm just going to go. It could be different lengths. that'd be weird but alright I'm just gonna go different lengths
212
motherfucker
sorry
classic
classic
only one dollar
classic one dollar
wait but she said 210 right
yeah
why'd you leave that one minute
I don't know
I didn't want to be a jerk
margin of error
I didn't want to be a jerk
the door opened to your fault.
You just wanted to leave a little
bit of a chance. Yeah, just a little bit.
Alright, well, the two films,
holiday classics to some,
I'm not a fan of either.
The Polar Express
and You've Got
Mail.
Yeah, and
Polar Express
is 100
minutes long.
100 nightmarish minutes.
100.
90 some of which are getting to the
actual train.
We may all be over.
The train just shows up in the front yard
and says, children, climb on board.
That is weird.
So weird.
Eddie Deason, right?
Fuck, and You Got Mail is only like 90 minutes long.
Surprisingly, no.
It was the start of these comedies
that are too long trend or something
because this particular movie was 119 minutes.
Motherfucker.
Yeah, so that was an excellent first bid, Eliza.
That's what happens on Price is Right
all the time. It's a great first bid.
Someone will fuck you over by dollaring you.
I double-dollared her.
So it's 219
minutes. Wayne's bid
of 212 is the closest
without going over.
Wayne Fetterman won.
How long is it?
He gets to go first in our
next and final game
after the break. We'll be right back.
We're back!
Yay!
Oh my
God. We are going to play
a game that's going to determine
it all today. And this one
also has to have, it will have a winner
we're going to play super last person standing holiday edition yeah yeah all right so uh we're
going to get three names of of actors slash actresses from audience
members.
Let's start with,
uh,
Eliza's,
uh,
person,
Chelsea.
What do you got for us?
Chelsea,
Elijah would,
I love it.
Okay.
Love Elijah.
Nice choice.
Interesting choice.
Jay says,
fuck,
uh,
Jay's choice.
Ciara, who would you like us to include in the game today?
Natalie Portman.
Natalie Portman.
Just talking about her.
So we already mentioned a couple.
We already mentioned a couple of titles.
And then Wayne's Alicia.
Kurt Russell.
Kurt Russell.
Another previously mentioned.
Natalie Portman?
Really?
You couldn't have said Ice Cube?
DMX?
Tyrese?
Natalie Portman?
You don't want to win it tends to
it's unfortunate
Jay
shut up dog
people are not
strategic about it
ever
ever
they're just like
I like Natalie Portman
why wouldn't
why wouldn't
Jay Washington
know all of her films
I feel like
I've
we've named a lot
of Natalie Portman movies
no we didn't
yeah we did I didn't. Yeah, we did.
I didn't remember none of that shit.
Oh, well, maybe it's a listening competition.
But you'll be good.
You'll be good with the Kurt Russell movies.
I hope to God I will.
Some Kurt Russell movies.
All right.
So Wayne won that last game.
So he gets to go first.
So we'll go Wayne, Eliza, Jay, then me.
Because I planned this game, too, just for the fun of it.
Just to be a spoiler.
I didn't know what names were going to be
chosen tonight, so I couldn't prepare.
But I have put a lifetime
into watching the films
of Elijah Wood, Natalie Portman,
and Kurt Russell.
I've seen most of them, so
I feel pretty good about it, but we'll see.
It'd be a great cast for a family drama
it's tough with the pressure
yeah and I don't think any of them
have worked together but that's
a point of clarification
please
can it be a TV movie?
no
Natalie Portman?
I don't think it's ever been in a TV movie
so no worries there.
All right.
Start us off, Wayne.
The professional.
I sometimes refer to as Leon the professional.
Yeah, Leon the professional.
Yeah.
All right.
Eliza?
May, December.
Yeah.
We were just talking about it.
Thor, Love, and Thunder.
We weren't talking about it it but that is a correct
answer good job
you decided to go
Portman on us oh shit
yeah I wasn't
expecting it
alright I'm gonna go Kurt Russell
and say
John Carpenter's The Thing
I'm gonna say
Kurt Russell
I don't know if the right director but it's is the thing. I'm going to say Kurt Russell.
I don't know if the right director,
but it's Escape from New York.
Is that also John Carpenter?
Yeah.
Escape from New York. Escape from New York.
Excellent.
Overboard.
Yeah.
We mentioned that earlier, too.
Eliza's just...
I'm saving the good cards.
Yeah, you're nailing all the ones
we've already talked about.
Big Trouble, Little China.
Yes.
I'm going to take an obvious one for Natalie Portman
and say Black Swan.
Yeah.
That was in my brain.
Thank you.
Get it out of your brain, Wayne.
I'm going to do my favorite, my favorite Kurt Russell.
Maybe the first one I saw, The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes.
Nice.
That really opens up some floodgates right there.
I know.
I'm old.
Oh, Jackie.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, Jackie. Yeah.
Oh, yeah, Jackie.
Natalie Portman.
Are we doing Natalie Portman or Kurt Russell?
Does it matter?
Doesn't matter.
Anyone.
Or Elijah Wood.
If you want to pull some wood.
Elijah Wood.
Lord of the Rings.
Yeah, right?
Fellowship of the Ring.
I was going to say.
Fellowship of the Ring.
I was going to say.
Full title, Jay.
Yeah.
I was going to say to you, Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers.
Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King.
Bam, there you go.
That's the one that won the Oscar, right?
It did it, yeah.
Is that the one that was two parts?
Or the Fellowship?
No.
Anyway, there was three of them with Elijah Wood.
Was he in the...
Okay, no.
You can go to your lifeline,
or you can say any Kurt Russell,
any Natalie Portman that we haven't said so far,
any Elijah Wood.
Closer.
Yes.
Thor of the Dark World.
Natalie Portman.
Yep.
That's a good one.
Yeah, Nice work.
I saw this movie for the first time.
I recommend it. I saw it during
Halloween times.
Cooties.
That's that new one, right?
Elijah Wood is in it.
Yeah, that was good.
Little Kid Zombies. You liked it?
Oh, that was the one we were talking about at Dynasty Typewriter.
Oh, yeah.
Wayne, back to you. Little Kid Zombies. You liked it? Oh, that was the one we were talking about at Dynasty Starbrother. Oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
All right.
Wayne, back to you.
Yeah, give me one second.
I think I have it.
Death Proof.
Damn it, you took my... Really?
I was about to say Death Proof.
I know it was originally in another movie, but it was released on its own.
They brought it out on its own.
No, it's not on its own.
But it was always a full movie inside
of Grindhouse. Yeah, yeah.
Do I get credit for that?
Yeah. Okay.
It's listed in, you know,
books and stuff as a full
movie. It's books. Yeah.
It's true.
What do you got, Eliza?
Brothers.
Natalie Portman.
She's in that?
Yeah.
I'm going to say okay.
Do you want to bet the whole thing?
No.
Okay.
No, I'm not betting against it,
but you mean with Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman?
Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire.
Oh, brothers.
Yeah, that's... I was thinking Maguire. Oh, Brothers. Yeah, that's...
I was thinking of Prisoners.
Oh, no, Brothers.
Natalie Portman is not in Prisoners.
I haven't seen it.
But yeah, you're right about Brothers.
All right.
What'd you say, Jay?
Oh, I hadn't said mine yet.
You didn't do yours yet?
I'll use mine again.
Kurt Russell, The Hateful Eight.
Oh, yeah.
Very good.
Oh, yeah. I love this old Kurt Russell, The Hateful Eight. Oh, yeah. Oh, very good. Oh, yeah.
I love this old Kurt Russell Disney movies thing.
I'm going to say The World's Strongest Man.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to keep with the Disney theme.
I might have this wrong, but I'm going to go Herbie, The Love Bug.
He wasn't in that.
You sure?
Yes.
As the kid?
Oh, no. No. All right. Sorry. Oh, no. bug he wasn't in that you're sure yes as the kid oh yeah no all right sorry oh no no but uh you
know you got other you got other ones wait is that am i out no you're not out you're just gonna say
something else oh i see i see i see okay um i'm just i'm just rejecting it yeah yeah i got it um
you sure okay, let's go.
You know, Love Bug would be thought of as a movie that has Kurt Russell in it.
Like, you can't name any of the actors in Love Bug because it's, you know,
didn't have Kurt Russell in it.
Buddy Hackett.
Yeah, Buddy Hackett and Dean Jones.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I may be wrong about that.
All right, let's go Escape from New York 2.
No.
That's not a movie?
It kind of is.
They made a sequel to it.
They sure did.
What was it called?
It wasn't.
Return to it?
All right.
Do I go to your lifeline?
I'm going to go for lifeline.
Escape from L.A.
Yep.
Escape from L.A.
Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank la yeah this could be my last round guys
so we're allowed to guess and get it wrong and then guess again
sort of i mean yeah free willy yeah you know you can't just say a bunch of titles i'm not
saying a bunch of titles okay free willy no free bunch of titles. Was Elijah Wood in Free Willy?
No, Free Willy.
Are you sure?
Who do you think's in Free Willy?
Elijah Wood.
No, that's some other kid.
Okay.
Yeah, no, I'm real sure about that one.
All right, Beaver Vendetta.
Elijah Wood.
Just kidding.
Beaver Vendetta is Natalie Portman, correct.
Jay, I like her system, though.
She's going to get one gas each time.
I mean, that was the one that I was like, was that him?
Where was the first time I saw him?
Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith.
Oh, we're going to do that now?
I don't know if I'm ready.
Star Wars, Attack of the Clones.
Oh, I'm not going to know these prequels.
I've seen them, but I tried to block them out.
I tried to block them out i tried to block them out
good boy right there very good that's very good um i think i might be done but i'm gonna guess
i'm gonna guess anyway um oh boys who's that el. Isn't it a movie called Boys?
B-O-Y-S.
Yeah.
What is that?
It's like a coming of age movie.
Called Boys?
Who are the other boys?
I don't know.
It wasn't.
I don't know.
I don't know.
You never saw Boys?
I've seen lots of Boys.
If you don't have any other information about it, you can't say it that way.
You can't like, you know, Boys.
Boys.
Come on, Boys.
It's a coming of age thing.
He's into coming of age movies for sure.
No, it takes place in Texas.
You don't know?
Nuh-uh.
I mean, he was a little kid.
I'm making it up. I'm out. was a little kid. I'm making it up.
I'm out.
I'm out.
Really?
You were making it up the whole time?
Yeah, yeah.
You're so committed to it.
I know.
Boys!
Come on, boys!
I'm out.
Sorry.
It was a good try.
Eliza, what's your first guess?
Did I say closer?
Yes.
Okay.
Vox Lux.
Yes.
Jay? Avengers Endgame. Natalie Port say closer? Yes. Okay. Vox Lux. Yes. Jay.
Avengers Endgame.
Natalie Portman is in it.
Sure.
When they go travel back in time.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
Makes sense.
These are good.
It's a reasonable move for her.
You think I didn't pull every goddamn nerd movie in my head out.
I'm just like blanking on.
I saw so many Natalie Portman movies over the years. And now. You're on that list. I'm just like blanking on I saw so many Natalie Portman movies
over the years and now
you're on that list
I'm just like
what is that one called
the one where she's like pregnant
that's the professional
no
can I be listed as Eliza Schlesinger on this?
That's hilarious.
Yeah, there's another Jay Washington that came to me.
Whose turn is it, mine?
Yeah, it's you.
Okay, I'm going to go, oh, The Good Son.
God damn it, that was my Eliza.
Oh, shit.
Damn it.
That was the one Eliz Elijah Wood would have had.
Hold it.
Elijah Wood and Macaulay Culkin.
That was the one I was holding on to.
Yeah.
Back to you, Elijah.
What?
Really?
Yeah, Wayne's out.
I'm out.
Boys was not a real guest.
Oh.
Boys was just a fuck around.
He wasn't in The Hobbit, was he? He was just having fun. I think he shows up in The Hobbit. He He wasn't in The Hobbit was he?
He was just having fun
I think he shows up in The Hobbit
He does show up
The Hobbit
Yeah
And then there's a subtitle
After The Hobbit though
Elijah Woods is in it
Smaug
The Desolation of Smaug
And The Forbidden Journey
I think he was in
The Forbidden Journey
You wanna go with that one?
Yes
Okay Jay
Fuck That's not a movie Journey. I think he was in The Forbidden Journey. You want to go with that one? Yes. Okay, Jay.
Fuck.
That's not a movie.
None of them are in.
I'm going to use my... I don't want to use it now.
I don't want to use it now.
Some running blanks on Kurt Russell for some reason.
I'm really fucked up that I don't have more Kurt Russell.
He's in so many movies.
I know he is.
It's insane the amount of movies he's in. I can't say Monarch on Apple Plus. Yeah, because that's him so many movies. I know he is. It's insane the amount of movies he's in.
I can't say Monarch on Apple Plus.
Yeah, because that's him and his son.
I'm going to use my lifeline.
Okay.
Garden State.
Garden State.
Natalie Portman.
That's a nice one.
Good job.
Well, you accepted Joseph Gordon-Levitt for an Elijah Wood?
I don't think so.
Okay, all right, never mind.
I don't think I'm in the market for him instead of the other guy.
But I forgot what one I was going to say.
Oh, Kurt Russell, old school.
He is a guy with a pet chimpanzee that he discovered,
and he works at a TV network as a page,
and he discovers that the chimpanzee has good taste in television.
Are you pitching?
No, this is real.
This is a real movie.
And then the movie's about how this monkey,
he rises to the top using the monkey's ideas.
It's kind of like Ratatouille.
Man, I feel like it's my
it's called the barefoot executive oh yeah hollywood in a nutshell yeah yeah eliza yes
what do you got okay big finish the thing too no um okay uh uh uh Was he in Bird on a Wire?
Who, Mel Gibson?
Fuck.
Well, I was going for Kurt Russell.
Right, because Goldie Hawn is in Bird on a Wire.
Yeah, I was trying to think.
I thought they had done two together.
Did you use your lifeline yet?
No.
Lifeline?
Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2.
Kurt Russell as Ego
Winning it yourself
Nicely done
That one was floating around
In my head
You know V for Vendetta
Is also a comic book movie
That's true
It's an Alan Moore
Just wanted to rub that in
Fucking with your identity
You know
What do you think, Jay?
I think I'm about to lose.
Is this it?
Shit.
Oh, my God.
She pulled out Guardians 2.
I can't believe it.
God damn it.
And I was holding on.
I was like, yo, what else do I have?
Give me a second.
Have you used yours?
I used mine for Garden State, whatever it was.
Oh, shit, yeah.
Give me a second.
Hold on.
Let me see.
He was only Ego in that one.
He wasn't in nothing else.
She was only in those three. He wasn't in nothing else. She was only in those three.
She wasn't in shit else yet.
Fuck.
Okay.
He did.
You had a good run, dude.
Yeah, we did.
It's a wrap.
You did it.
You did it.
I'm out.
What's the one where he plays like Allen Ginsberg or something?
Who?
What?
Can we celebrate your win right now?
I'm sorry.
Okay.
All right.
Eliza Skinner, everybody.
I won. She did it. What? Can we celebrate your win right now? I'm sorry. Okay. All right. Eliza Skinner, everybody!
Yay, I won!
She did it!
Thank you, Chelsea.
That means you get to do... Wait, but I am curious now.
Who played Allen Ginsberg?
Well, wasn't he in one where it was like about like...
Oh, Elijah Wood.
Elijah Wood?
Where it was like...
It was supposed to be Ginsberg?
Or like the...
The Trial of the Seven?
Poets or something.
Didn't he do something like that?
Was he in the Chicago 7?
He wasn't in that.
Or was he in Llewyn Davis?
No, nothing?
Nobody knows what I'm talking about?
Inside Llewyn Davis?
I don't know.
Something where he was like,
hey, for real though, I know words.
I love your approach.
Just throw titles out there
and maybe somebody was in there
and you totally took it down.
And somebody look up boys just for the off chance that that's a real movie. There's movies took it down. And so many look up boys just
off chance that that's a real movie.
There's movies probably called Boys.
And Free Willy, because I'm pretty sure he was in that.
There was The Boy also.
There was a Taika Waititi, I think.
But anyway, Eliza, do your plugs.
What would you like to promote?
Oh, my album
regarding your lovers.
Also, I have a podcast called
Angry Little Goats that we have brought back
and we watched a whole bunch of movies.
