Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies! Hey everybody in the live audience! Welcome to I Love Movies! That was the theme song by Hard and Firm. Thanks to them for writing and performing it for me. And thanks to the UCB Theater here in Los Angeles where we do this show every few weeks.
Starting point is 00:00:31 So if you want to come out and check it out live, go to ucbtheater.com for more details. Opening, I think in theaters right now, when this podcast airs, is a motion picture called Van Wilder, The Rise of Taj. And as I understand it, Ryan Reynolds, who plays Van Wilder
Starting point is 00:00:51 in the original Van Wilder, is not in this movie. Which makes me say I call bullshit. You can't... What? Why not call... Wasn't that guy Cal Penn? Wasn't he Harold or Kumar? Why can't why what why not call wasn't he wasn't that guy cal penn wasn't he harold or kumar why can't it be kumar the rise of kumar like make a kumar movie since you've got him but why are
Starting point is 00:01:15 they calling it that's like if they made a jaws movie without a shark or a star Wars movie without Han Solo. Get it? They made three of those and they were really shitty. All right. My guest today. Thank you. My guest today at I Love Movies is a very funny comic who has his own half-hour comedy special on Comedy Central that plays all the time.
Starting point is 00:01:39 And you may have seen him as the annoying neighbor on a great episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. And he also played Wayne Fetterman on an episode of The X-Files. Please welcome Wayne Fetterman, everybody! There it is! You made it! So, welcome, Wayne.
Starting point is 00:01:57 You can pull that out and hold it if you'd like. The microphone as well. Thank you. Don't look at that. That's for later. Can I tell you a quick thing about Leonard Maltin right now? Please. For the first time in my life, I went to the Playboy Mansion for Halloween. Okay.
Starting point is 00:02:13 Might be the last time. Guess who was there? Monkeys you can feed grapes to? Leonard Maltin. Oh, that too. Leonard Maltin. I like the monkeys. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Leonard Maltin was at the Playboy Mansion. On Halloween. Working it. On Halloween in an outfit Maltin was at the Playboy Mansion on Halloween. Working it. On Halloween in an outfit. Was he dressed up as something? Well, yeah. Well, you have to be in order to get in. Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:02:31 So I was expecting Corey Feldman, of course. But then Leonard Maltin was a little surprising, to tell you the truth. But apparently what happens at the mansion is when it's not crazy woman night, there's just a bunch of old guys screening old movies there. Like, Hef is a big Hef. Sorry, sorry about that. Hugh Hefner is apparently quite the buff, and screens and gets prints of movies,
Starting point is 00:02:58 and it's like kind of he has this old, I mean, obviously he's... Yeah, he's got to invite people that would appreciate it over, because those dumb girls he lives with, they're not going to like a classic like Adam's Rib. Was that from earlier? That was from an earlier show. Call back to last week. Yeah, last week's show.
Starting point is 00:03:15 This audience wants to remember that from the podcast. You got to give people cliffhangers and reasons to tune in every week. Is this a podcast? What is happening right now? Well, it's not being podcast as we see it. It's not a live podcast. The whole thing is taped and then not... Taped or digitally recorded?
Starting point is 00:03:33 Because there's a difference. I wouldn't even know. And then it's played on the internet on a site called handheldcomedy.com. All right. Interesting. So my guess is it's not being taped. It's being recorded digitally. That's my guess.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Oh, that there's no physical tape involved? Is that what you're saying? When you said the word tape, yeah, that jumped to the conclusion. I say that. I call it filmed sometimes. Sometimes I call it it's drawn. All right, let's go. This is ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:03:59 I hope this gets edited, no matter what. That's what I was just saying. It's completely unedited. Half hour-ish. My bad. No commercials, except for occasional mention of handheldcomedy.com. And it just plays, and people listen to it, apparently. I love it.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Let's start. People say they do. Let's start. You really want to get going? Yeah. I still want to know what Leonard Maltin was dressed up as at the mansion. I'm going to say a pumpkin like it was something roundish something roundish and it was good and then he walked by and then there was gary marshall it was nice see the little monkeys
Starting point is 00:04:37 yeah i saw i want to feed them grapes it was basically i was looking at women that was basically my goal it wasn't like oh, there's animals in a cage. I wonder if the ASPCA knows about this. I was not at all interested in any of that. Although I did do the haunted, that very good haunted, what do you call it? House? Haunted house. Like hallways with darkness.
Starting point is 00:04:59 A lot of darkness. And a lot of times it would be like you think it's a mannequin, but it's a guy, and they jump out at you. And the best one was they had marionettes, but one of the marionettes was a little person, and he runs out at you. So you think it's a marionette, and all of a sudden he's running out at you. So it was very scary. That's horrifying. I hope I explained that correctly. It's all dark, and they're like, oh, it's a little marionette.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Whoa! So that was part of my I'd be suspicious Of marionettes In a haunted house Of course From the word jump From the get and the go I'd immediately
Starting point is 00:05:34 I'd immediately be like Those aren't marionettes No but it's just One was a little person They could quiet me The other were absolutely And then they just Yeah
Starting point is 00:05:42 But even when you're driving up There's people like P pounding on your window. They go for the theme. Wow, they really go for it. They do. I'm serious. He went all out for the theme. And to me, a waste because no one.
Starting point is 00:05:53 No, not a complete waste. They're there for the tithes. It's incredible. It's incredible, the display. At the grotto. Yeah, very humid, as you would expect. Weird smelling grotto. We'll both humid, as you would expect. Weird-smelling grotto. We'll both be invited back very soon.
Starting point is 00:06:09 So, Wayne, we're here to talk about movies. Yes, do it. I'm a big movie fan. I've been seeing them since I was a kid. By the way, I don't know if you know this. Most people, their first movie they ever saw in the audience or listening at home on this digital recording saw a Disney movie. Is that true with you? The first movie they ever saw?
Starting point is 00:06:26 In a theater. Most Americans, over 90%, the first movie they ever saw was a Disney movie. That's interesting. What was the first movie you saw? I know. I couldn't tell you what the first movie I saw was. Was it something like... I mean, it's not a private thing.
Starting point is 00:06:40 I'm not trying to keep it from you. Do you have any idea? I really don't know. I really don't have, like, that was the first movie. I'm guessing. I keep it from you. Do you have any idea? I really don't know. I really don't have, like, that was the first movie. I'm guessing. I'm looking at you. I'm going to guess, I don't know, Citizen Kane? No.
Starting point is 00:06:54 It's not great if that was your first movie as a kid. You know, some 60s bullshit. I remember seeing, like, a promotional item in a lobby for Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. What is that? A Disney movie. But I was seeing something else at the time, and since that's the first one, I obviously didn't see a Disney movie first. But that's a believable statistic, because they're the only people in the G-rated movie
Starting point is 00:07:19 business, for the most part. Right. The first movie I ever saw was a movie... Maybe Born Free is another one people have seen as their first movie. That that's not disney though no that's what i'm saying yeah that could ruin your whole thing those the other 10 saw born free is my point but there's the pixar i guess all those pixars would count as well because yeah yeah there's there's fucking people in the world that their first movie ever it's cars that is not a good start. Well, I remember once somebody said this, and I know this is not specifically about a movie, but that movies are so personal that, in a sense, the worst movie you ever saw is probably someone's favorite film.
Starting point is 00:07:55 Like, that is how wide people's opinions of movies are. Like, for some reason, especially movies, I find that movies you see basically between the ages of, like, 10 and 20, as you're getting more emotional, these movies seem to affect you more. So you notice that people who are older like movies from that era. Just something I just bring it up. It's interesting. I appreciate that. You're the first guest who's really come to the table with some shit.
Starting point is 00:08:20 No, no. With some stuff. Well, I'm not just going to sit and make fun of Martin Scorsese, although I wrote that down as a point that I'd like to get to. That's going to come up at some point? Because, yeah, he's had an interesting career. Well, we'll get to him in a second probably, but what have you seen lately?
Starting point is 00:08:37 Have you been to the cinema? I saw Borat, which I know this is going to sound like hyperbole. Wow, okay. I know this is gonna sound Like hyperbole Wow Okay I know this is gonna sound But I believe already I would put it in the top 20 comedies In the history of Hollywood
Starting point is 00:08:51 Wow Already I really thought The way you started To go into that That you were gonna say Something everyone's Gonna be mad at you
Starting point is 00:08:57 For saying Like it sounded like You were gonna say I did not get it I did not like it I said hyperbole No I did hear that word But I don't
Starting point is 00:09:04 I'm talking about... That sounds like I'm exaggerating. But as soon as you said... The way you said, I saw Borat, and I just want to say, like that part. Oh, okay. Before you got... As soon as you got to hyperbole, I was like, okay, he's going to really pump this shit up. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:17 But, because I know that's what you do when you hyperbole. But I was thinking it was going to go the other way. I'm really pleased to hear that. You agree with that? Here's my hyperbole. But I was thinking it was going to go the other way. I'm really pleased to hear that. Do you agree with that? Here's my hyperbole.
Starting point is 00:09:29 Go. Changing comedy as we know it. Oh, you might be right. Motion picture and otherwise. Well, don't you
Starting point is 00:09:34 feel in a way, I hate to say it, but jackass sort of beat them to the punch? I can't get anything in this
Starting point is 00:09:43 crowd to agree with me or nothing. Just stare at me. It's not their job to loudly agree. I want them to the punch on... I can't get anything in this crowd to agree with me or nothing. They just stare at me like... It's not their job to loudly agree. I want them to be applauding, going, or no, or something. No, just laughter. You're an idiot.
Starting point is 00:09:52 Just laughter. Just stand there staring at me. No, no. They're like looking at fish in a bowl. Why am I yelling? Yeah. There's no reason to expect anything of them. Let me just say, I hope...
Starting point is 00:10:04 I'm just happy that they're here. I hope during our repartee that we don't get confused and take each other's water. Thank God I know which one is which. Right, because you leave the label on and I take it off. That's just a move I have to make it my water. I see you're marking it. Yeah, and also... So you really feel... It's just a motion picture.
Starting point is 00:10:23 I don't want to give free advertisement to blank. I forgot we're on radio. I forgot we're... I call the internet radio. We're on computer radio. We're on computer radio, which brings me back to my favorite, one of my favorite entertainers in the history of Hollywood,
Starting point is 00:10:36 which was Edgar Bergen, who was the genius of geniuses because he was a ventriloquist on the radio. That's the best job in the history of the business. That's better than anything Joe Piscopo ever got. That is insane. Like, oh, yeah, I'm a ventriloquist. Really?
Starting point is 00:10:54 Yeah, listen to my show. What? I'm doing Bergen material. Come on. No one is loaded like this. Yeah, but... You didn't expect that. But switching back and forth between the voices quickly is difficult.
Starting point is 00:11:11 It's impressive. Are you a Bergen apologist? He would go out, I am, he would go out on the road and show people that he could really do it. Like people saw him in a local vaudeville house. And then he went on to do television and movies, which is also hilarious. Yes, he did do the movies. It's funny. Whenever somebody plays a ventriloquist in a movie or TV show, it's a real ventriloquist.
Starting point is 00:11:35 But why? It doesn't need to be. It doesn't. He'd just be some asshole going, and they put it in later, you know? Of course. It's kind of interesting. But then there were movies. They really got, like that guy on Soap, they really got him.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Jay Johnson? Jay Johnson. They really got him to do it, and they could have got a good actor who isn't always just looking at the puppet like, your turn. Right, you could say anything. That's like a Don Rickles joke. He's always looking at the puppet going, your turn. That has nothing to do with movies.
Starting point is 00:12:04 But just bringing back to movies Let's do it Bergen was in a number of feature films Yes he was With W.C. Fields if I'm not mistaken Yeah Another comedian He showed up in lots of stuff
Starting point is 00:12:14 I never opened for Fields But I heard he was good Heard he was funny Yeah Alright I feel better now Let's talk about Borat What do you think it changed comedy?
Starting point is 00:12:24 Go ahead. It's changing comedy because it's so much, not only is it funny, it's also the most suspenseful comedy you'll probably ever see because it's always like, what is going to fucking happen now? Like, when is this guy going to punch him?
Starting point is 00:12:41 Right, right. You know? And how long can they run around naked in a hotel room before somebody goes, hey, you guys are naked in our hotel room or our hotel hallway or whatever, you know? And it's just, and it's also, it's fun to like, I mean, like, clearly, like,
Starting point is 00:12:58 I just heard last night that the Pamela Anderson thing was, like, she was onto it the whole time. Like, she was told what was going to happen. But she's pretty good at, except for just running through the parking lot screaming i don't think when you're as famous as pamela anderson that's that's you're out right when shit starts to go down i think you turn and look at a couple of guys and go could you take care of this dude like like standing still is probably the safest thing to do you know to get to stop that situation but other than that i just thought it was really
Starting point is 00:13:25 just super fun watching this guy, you know, because we're all in on it. Like, it might have been funny also to watch it and not know that. I just, it works on a crazy number of levels, and I have to say the biggest laugh I've heard in a movie theater since I'm going to say the
Starting point is 00:13:42 hair gel in something about Mary. Is that the name of that movie? Mm-hmm. When she comes... Okay, that's what I want. You're saying... That was not a big...
Starting point is 00:13:50 Wayne needs that kind of feedback. That's what I want. Oh! He brings up a scene from a movie that you should be long over. That's when that movie came out. It cracked me up that the ads, like you had to go to the movie
Starting point is 00:14:02 to get that she had cum in her hair in the ads, but it was a picture of a woman with cum in her hair. It was the ad for the movie. And nobody batted an eye at it. Nobody was like, that girl's got jizz in her head. Jizz in her head. That's our poster.
Starting point is 00:14:18 We're going to put it in the teaser, we're going to put it in the trailer. But that's part of why that was one of the few movies in modern history that, like, started off kind of slow and then became a blockbuster like on week three or four. Like it like really took off in two weeks. You're saying there's
Starting point is 00:14:29 no other slow... Well, unless that's open in that many theaters. You don't open in that many theaters and be okay for a couple weeks and then suddenly become a huge hit.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Right. That never happens. If you have an example, I'd like to hear it. No, I don't. I don't. I don't. I do know the movie
Starting point is 00:14:43 that was number one for the longest time at number one, I believe. Sound of Music? The Sting? All right, never mind. Star Wars? No, it's in the modern era. E.T. the Extraterrestrial?
Starting point is 00:14:55 Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm wrong. But yeah, when I was growing up, a movie would open at the big theater in town and play there for like a whole fucking year. And that doesn't happen anymore, clearly. Now it's like,
Starting point is 00:15:08 you know, it's going to be on DVD. Well, you know what's more interesting? And I know no one is going to be interested. Anything you say right now is going to be more interesting than what I just said.
Starting point is 00:15:16 This I just heard and I don't know if it's true, but I'm going to say it on the podcast. See, now you've got the audience really participating i want it i want it that's what you're here for they're also not mic'd so that the audience didn't hear him in the olden days before the supreme court broke up the theater chains in the late 40s that whatever theater chain the paramount theater only played param movies. So if you didn't have a Fox movie theater in your town,
Starting point is 00:15:47 you didn't see Marilyn Monroe movies, because it was only Paramount movies that played there. Interesting. Do you ever think about that? And, in a weird way, that's Paramount. I never thought about it, and probably never will again. No, I'm just thinking about these movies that we think are classics. Maybe a lot of people never even saw them, because they didn't have a, I guess, I'm just thinking about these movies that we think are classics. Maybe a lot of people never even saw them because they didn't have, I guess, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:09 I guess Universal didn't have theaters, but certainly Fox and Paramount. Yeah, there were probably a few for a while there. But you would think it wasn't like theaters were bid on a movie. It was like, this is what's playing, and Paramount was just the dream factory. But here's something interesting. Maybe not that interesting. Paramount would just, the Dream Factory. But here's something interesting.
Starting point is 00:16:24 Maybe not that interesting. That kind of happens today on HBO and Cinemax and that, and Showtime. Did you know that they have deals with the studios? Yeah, they make specific deals with specific studios. Right, so if you have HBO and not Showtime, there are certain movies you will see and certain movies that you'll never see on HBO. Right. Yeah, so it's kind of the same thing in the cable universe. Let's take some questions.
Starting point is 00:16:48 But Netflix shows them all. Yeah, fantastic. So fuck HBO and Showtime, except for their original series, which are awesome. Weeds, thank you. Weeds. Okay, but I'm not talking about TV shows. People are just yelling out names of shows now. Yeah, that they like.
Starting point is 00:17:03 That's fantastic. People are just yelling out names of shows now. That they like. That's fantastic. I will say that you introduced me to somebody who had been on the X-Files playing Wayne Fetterman. That's right. But this is interesting. Again, not that interesting. There was an X-Files movie that you were not in, so we're still hovering around movies.
Starting point is 00:17:20 Right, right. Never mind. Never mind. No, why is that interesting? No, I was just Because What happened to you Because on IMDB
Starting point is 00:17:27 They just call On IMDB they have that listed As me playing myself Right as himself And it's not you It's just a guy Named Wayne Fetterman Bingo
Starting point is 00:17:35 Who does Bingo Who acts completely different Yeah he's a producer Yeah you're not a producer Are you kidding me Look how I dress Do you
Starting point is 00:17:43 You got the suit and tie on In the show No but I got the suit and tie on in the show? No, but I got the leather, and I'm kind of like gel in my hair and stuff like that. I was really upset at IMDb, which apparently is a sham anyway, that anyone can write any credit they want, and they don't double check it. Right. Well, that's why you should sign up, and then just send them, say, no, I didn't play myself. I played Wayne Federman.
Starting point is 00:18:02 Hi, this is Wayne. Spell it with two Ds, maybe. Wayne, with two Ds. No, it's not. And they'll think it's play myself. I played Wayne Fetterman. Hi, this is Wayne. Spell it with two Ds, maybe. Wayne with two Ds. No, it's... And they'll think it's somebody else. I gotcha. But I do have a movie coming. Can I plug something? When does this pod out?
Starting point is 00:18:12 Oh, sure. I usually save the plugs for the end. Never mind then. This is going to start airing on December 4. Yeah. This week. This week I have, as you know, my film career consists of something called
Starting point is 00:18:24 Fetterman and Out. Which is I'm in one scene. Right. And then you never see me again in the movie. Usually credited as something guy. Or something man. I've got a couple of them here. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:18:38 Yeah. Policeman Dave and Jack Frost. Fetterman and Out. Admissions guy in Legally Blonde. Fetterman and Out. Officer Dave in D Legally Blonde. Fetterman and out. Officer Dave in Dumb and Dumberer when Harry met Lloyd. I have to say, I have to say, I have to say,
Starting point is 00:18:51 I have to say in that one I do come back. You have a couple scenes. I do. That is, that's a Fetterman and back in. Back in. Fetterman and back in. That explains the box office fate of that one. Right, right. And my absolute favorite one, bathroom guy in Charlie's Angels Full Throttle. Yeah, Fetterman and out.
Starting point is 00:19:10 Well, yeah, I mean, you know, that's how you do things full throttle, is you have Fetterman in a men's room. Also, 40-year-old version. Call it a day. Yeah, you were the tech guy. Smart tech. Yeah, smart tech customer. Smart tech customer. Fetterman and out. And 50 First Dates. Smart tech. Yes. Smart tech customer. Smart tech customer.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Fetterman and out. And 50 First Dates. Say it with me. Fetterman and out. What was the character? Roll up in a wheelchair at the end. That's the name of the character? Oh, Patient.
Starting point is 00:19:38 It's Patient. You're called Patient in that one. I don't know. I never have a name. I never have a name. I saw it. You're called Patient. What do I say in that movie? I don't know. I don't, I never have a name. I never have a name. I saw it. You're called Patient. What do I say in that movie?
Starting point is 00:19:45 You remember it. I say something about you're Pablo Picasso. No, you're not. Not really. And I roll away. Literally roll out of scene. Well, that's like,
Starting point is 00:19:57 they're like, well, let's get, how can we get him out quicker? Let's put him in a wheelchair. Scene's not even in a hospital. Zoom. Zoom. So anyway Go ahead
Starting point is 00:20:07 But your scene in 40 Year Old Virgin Yes Did you get to improvise? Because I think that movie was very improvised, right? Yeah, I improvised quite a bit With Paul Rudd Who was And it was basically reacting
Starting point is 00:20:20 It was more his thing So it was a lot of And we did a lot And none of it made it but it's all right not even on the dvd extras no but i have to say i it's all right of extra i'm not one of the i mean i know what happened with sarah i was listening to last week's show with sarah silverman yeah and uh look for her new comedy central show on april 1st yeah and uh she's you know she improvised the whole thing and all of it got in.
Starting point is 00:20:45 So that didn't happen with me. I just didn't... But no, don't feel bad. I'm more about serving the vision of the director and the writer. Much more than that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:55 So that's kind of what my... It was a two-hour comedy. Like, they couldn't afford to have it be any longer. It was. And I think that's too long for a comedy. It was too long.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Am I right? That's my only criticism, Judd Apatow. Yeah. If you're listening. He's not listening. It was And I think that's too long For a comedy It was too long Am I right? That's my only criticism Judd Apatow Yeah If you're listening He's not listening And what's this latest one? What's the one that's
Starting point is 00:21:11 Coming out on Friday? On the 8th of December That would be Friday It's called Unaccompanied Minors Sync Oh yeah Speaking of Judd Apatow
Starting point is 00:21:20 The guy who co-created Freaks and Geeks Paul Feig Yes Directed this movie And you're in it And out One scene Apatow, the guy who co-created Freaks and Geeks. Paul Feig. Yes. Directed this movie. And you're in it. And out. One scene. One scene. Can you tell us what happens in the scene or does it give away too much?
Starting point is 00:21:34 Do you come in and go, Rosebud is a sled? Or something like that? No. I kind of knew that I was going to make it in this movie just, you know, because sometimes I've been cut out of movies. One called The Flying Movie. I'll think of it as View from the Top. View from above.
Starting point is 00:21:54 View from the Top with Gwyneth Paltrow and Mike Myers? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Awesome movie. Made all the more better by your absence. I still get residual checks from that movie Even though I'm not in it Is that right? Isn't that weird?
Starting point is 00:22:10 Is that a mistake? No Should I call? I'm in the movie Secret Admirer But I'm uncredited And I got a check in the mail today But you're in it But I am in it
Starting point is 00:22:20 Yeah, I'm not in this Yeah, so We should have like a body switch thing. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. You did the work. But it seemed like that would be a crazy role from the screen actors. But it's a little, that's like an extra thing they have to follow, like figuring out who got cut out of what.
Starting point is 00:22:40 So they don't even bother. There must be, like every movie that has 50 speaking roles, there must be somebody that got cut out. Right. And SAG is all about defending you and your work or whatever.
Starting point is 00:22:52 So residuals for not being in it. Interesting note, the reason we have residuals for movies that play on television, Ronald Reagan, when he was president
Starting point is 00:22:59 of the Screen Actors Guild. He made it happen? He made it happen in a strike in 1959. Wow. That's the reason. I know you guys all hate him here in Hollywood land.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Ronald Wilson, by the way, starred in over 55 movies himself. Right, one with a monkey. Yeah, that's the one you remember. What about
Starting point is 00:23:17 New Rock, the All-American? What about that one? Win one for the game? Oh, what happened there? Oh my God, there's a Democrat in the booth.

Starting point is 00:23:39 Because I can pontificate. You really can. I can pontificate about nothing for hours. I need to be a great guest. I should have had you and Sarah on at the same time. That would have been good. Because you could have given us interesting facts while she goes, Oh.
Starting point is 00:23:53 She doesn't sound like that. But we did play. Sarah and I did have a chance to play the Leonard Maltin game. And would you like to ask or be asked in the Leonard Maltin game? Because it's time. First of all, you know I'm terrible at this kind of thing, but I'm going to ask. Okay, so pick out a movie. It has to be something you think I've seen.
Starting point is 00:24:11 Oh, it has to be something I've seen. I mean, Sarah last week thought I saw Slaves of New York, and she was wrong, because I don't see movies based on books by that lady that wrote that book. I'm going to get one right now. Tom and John. This one you're going to get. Oh, great. Well, that's really suspenseful and fun for the listeners.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Okay. Give me a softball. It's a softball. Alright, what year did it come out? It came out in the year 1998. Okay, 98. Maybe during the midterm elections then. We had midterm elections back then. Keep in mind, I had already started smoking pot at this point, so I might not remember it.
Starting point is 00:24:45 Here's an interesting fact. Shot on Super 35. I hope that gives something away. Does that narrow it down a little bit? Yeah. Here we go. Go from the bottom. Yes, I got it.

Starting point is 00:25:24 Oh, it's such a powerful cast. Powerhouse cast. Okay, keep going. Michael Jeter. Okay. Died recently. It's kind of a sad thing to bring up, but keep going. That's it?

Starting point is 00:26:46 Wow. Settle down. The audience is going crazy. Our one audience. It is. Now I understand what some people must be going through listening to us play this game. This must be the
Starting point is 00:27:01 most annoying podcast. They know it at home and they're just yelling at their computer. I have to give myself a lot of cred for picking this because I didn't think you were going to unravel like this. You ready? It's an amazing cast, whatever it is. This was even better. You ready? Okay. Pendulet.
Starting point is 00:27:19 In it. Am I right? Is Teller in it? No. No Teller. Alright, keep going. This one's my in it? No. No Teller. No Teller. Okay. All right. Keep going. This one's my favorite.

Starting point is 00:27:40 That's a good one. Okay. This one's even greater. Mark Harmon from whatever summer school. Whatever the hell he's in, yeah. Was it a summer school? Summer school and NCIS or JAG or whatever. We're getting near the leads.
Starting point is 00:27:52 Okay. Catherine Hellmond. Okay, okay. From Soap. There's a Soap theme running through. Okay, baby. Craig Bierko. Did you just call me baby? Come on, dude. Craig Bierko. Did you just call me baby?
Starting point is 00:28:05 Come on, dude. Craig Bierko is in it? Who do you know? 1998. 1998. I'm not lying. I would not lie. That's not the way I play.
Starting point is 00:28:14 That's not the way I play. It was shot on Super something. Right. Okay. Tobey Maguire. Why is this so obvious to everyone but me? Of course I'm going to shoot myself afterwards. Should I just stop?
Starting point is 00:28:28 I mean, should I? No, keep going. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Tobey Maguire. Tobey Maguire. He was Spider-Man. Yeah, he was. He was also Spider-Man 2.
Starting point is 00:28:40 The Spider-Mans are wonderful. They come over, they bring food. They're nice. They're a nice couple down the street, the Spider-Mans are wonderful. They come over, they bring food. They're nice. They're a nice couple down the street, the Spider-Mans. All right. Keep going. This is weird, because I was listening last week. A guy from last week's show is also in it, Benicio Del Toro.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Holy shit. I can't really give the two. And then there's two names that give it away. There's two names that absolutely give it away. Not the name I skipped. I'll tell you the name I skipped. Holy shit. I'll tell you the name I skipped.
Starting point is 00:29:09 I just had a great idea, Wayne. Tell you the name. I guess people could just IMDB it. I was going to say it'd be fun to end this episode without saying what the title is. We'll tell the audience later. We'll talk about it with the audience, yeah. But let's just end it right now. Okay, I'm going to give you
Starting point is 00:29:27 one final hint. Not the two leads in it, but the name I skipped. Okay. Flea. I thought that was the giveaway, but apparently, I guess Tobey Maguire
Starting point is 00:29:37 wasn't going to give it away. Flea wasn't, certainly. He's been in a few things, Flea. You know, it's not... Well, then... He was in Big Lebowski. Very good guess, but wrong. Oh, that's a good guess?
Starting point is 00:29:49 Why is that a good guess? Holy shit. He rocks! I don't know what he's yelling about. All right, so Wayne Fetterman, ladies and gentlemen. Wayne Fetterman. That's it. With not only a stumper.

Starting point is 00:30:33 but you don't go anywhere. And until next time, when we reveal the answer to that amazing Leonard Maltin question, this is Doug Benson saying, I'm not saying this candy is stale, but they should have called it Senior Mints. Thanks a lot. Good night. Now it's time for Doug
Starting point is 00:30:50 to watch another talkie. Isaac Olden's viewing prowess makes him cocky. There's no room in his heart for you, cause Doug loves movies.
