Doug hates candy wrappers screening baby sticky seeds With 50 as it popped for kernels in his teeth There's still not one that he won't see Because Doug loves movies Applause Hey, hey, hey everybody. My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Lutz Movies.

And I also love San Diego and Comic Con and San Diego Comic Con. I'm leaving tomorrow. All right. So we're here once again. I'm sitting in front of Mr. Eagle at the American Comedy Company in sweet home San Diego. I brought some prizes with me today to give away to a lucky audience member. It's in a big, beautiful bag. I think this would be great for shopping at the grocery, reusable. From Pluto TV. I went to a Pluto TV party and they gave out these bags. It says, I live for the drama. That's why I'm giving it away. I don't live for the drama, so that's why I'm giving it away.

I don't live for the drama at all. But inside the bag, I've also enclosed a box. I got sent this from the movie Boy Kills World, that was out earlier this year in April. They sent me a beautiful box with a Boy Meets World hoodie in it. And then I've also included a stupid Petrix sweater. And also this thing that I got in the mail recently. I love that people know what this is. It's not creepy at all.

This is, when it was sent to me I was like, what? Because it's a bloody Viewmaster with like crime scene photos inside. Yeah, and it just came in like a plain brown wrapper with like string around it. Like they did a really good job of, I think it was Neon, the company that made the movie, or distributed the movie, but anyway, it's for long legs. Yeah. Whoa. Oh, I love that reaction.

Oh, long legs, okay. I don't know what you were guessing out there, but horror seems to be a pretty big genre these days, and long legs. I think it just passed hereditary. So like as the, you know, I don't know. I don't know what the record is. Or what they call it, independent horror.

But anyway, it's time for, I'm just, I get so excited for this next part because I know the audience loves it so much, because now that I've shown you what's in the prize bag, it's time for Doug Plugs. They're not as excited tonight about it as they are at some other places, but that's just chill San Diego for you right there.

That's just like, people can't get that worked up about hearing about the next places that I'm gonna be going to but here it is nonetheless Tuesday August 6th the Benson movie Interruption is back at Dynasty typewriter in Los Angeles maybe worth the drive up there I don't know's your choice, so people bring DVDs and Blu-rays and then as an audience and with my guests, we decide which movie we're gonna watch and then just make fun of the entire time. So it's like a roast of one movie chosen from the audience.

That's on Tuesday, August 6th, and that Sunday, August 11th, Douglas Movies is for the first time ever at Rooster Teeth Feathers in Sunnyvale, California, not Sunnyvale Trailer Park from Trailer Park Boys, but Sunnyvale, California, at 420. For all of my dates and deets and links, go to douglovesmovies.com. Go to douglovesmovies.com, yeah!

Go to GoToMovies.com! Yeah! That's the answer? That was pretty good effort, pretty good effort. Yeah, I'm proud of you. Thank you for that. Let's go ahead and get my guests out here. What do you say? Let's go ahead and get my guests out here. What do you say? Please welcome Yorgo Achitas, Leonard Malton, and Mark Ellis. Hey guys. Come on in, grab a seat. Also very exciting news, breaking news,

that also in the prize bag this evening is the most recent book by our dear Fred Leonard Moulton. It's called Star Struck. And it was fun backstage because when the subject of, you know, when Starstruck came up then Yorgo, a first time guest on the show tonight that I'll talk to a little more in a second, asked Leonard Maltin who he's ever been. Who's the last person? You were starstruck by Leonard and what was your answer?

Brad Pitt. I thought you said somebody else. I didn't know it was. I said Elizabeth Taylor. Yes, yes, okay. Elizabeth Taylor to Brad Pitt. That's a while ago. Was it a recent Brad Pitting or was it like,

was this like years ago or was this? Long time ago, 1989, the last century. You were starstruck by Brad Pitt in 1989? No, reverse it. Oh, by Elizabeth Taylor in 1989. And then Brad Pitt when? Three years ago. Wow, OK.

All right, Leonard Balton, still starstruck. Yeah. It can happen. It can happen to anybody. But let's meet everybody. Let's meet all of my guests tonight. Back to you, Doug. I already got it all out of order, you know.

But the first person I'd like to introduce, because I'm gonna go alphabetical by first name, that means hello Leonard Malton everybody! Hey! Thank you. So you're in San Diego because Comic Con begins tomorrow. That's true. And so what are your, what's your Comic Con schedule?

What do you got going on this weekend? Pretty light schedule, but the panel that my daughter, Jessie, and I do on Friday at four is called You're Wrong, Leonard Maltin. And we've done it, I think, five years running now, five or six years. Yeah, four o'clock on Friday. And it's a lot of fun. You're angry as fans. People that love you but have a real bone to pick.

If there's one time Leonard said something about a movie you disagree with, this is your chance to show up and yell at him in person. Don't do it tonight. Save it for 4 o'clock on Friday. But yeah, that's always a lot of fun. And I think, you know, it seems like the energy is coming back, like this is going to be, this comicon will be more fun than last year. And, you know, like it's building up again. Sure.

From, you know, when we took that time off. We all took a vacation from Comic-Con, but just decided it shouldn't happen for a little bit. Although last year, because there were no stars and no, you know, big movies being presented or promoted. The people who came spent all their time on the exhibition floor, and the dealers were really happy. They did well. Suddenly it's comics.

Yeah, exactly. It's comics con. It's like what it started out as and what it's always supposed to be. So it became sort of a back to basics comic con. Yeah, that's super cool. Now it's going to be back to trash again. That's...

Now I'm sure Chris Evans and Chris Pine and Chris, other Chris, all the Chris's... It's like Christmas in July in San Diego with all the Chris's that come down and can't answer any questions because the movie's not out yet. Ha ha ha. Mark Ruffalo doesn't get invited anymore

because he would just spill beans like nobody's business. Ha ha ha. Total bean spiller. Speaking of which, my next guest... Ha ha ha. You know him. You love him. He's headlining this very room tomorrow night so just you know just sleep on the floor. Just hang out here till

tomorrow night so it's Mark Ellis everybody. Thank you Doug that was the best introduction you've ever given me. I've come down here five years and done your little program and finally... Finally I said all the words right. You got my name right. Well, you know, it's because you gave me an easy one. Tonight our guest that's joining us for the first time is very nervous about getting his name right and then I learned it and it's all I've

thought about ever since. And you still didn't get it right. Wait! I did I thought I got it right. No I'm gonna say it again in a second then you can totally tear it apart in real time. I was gonna say give me a question so we can build the tension in your head more. I want you to another 30 seconds of build up. I do want to know besides performing here would do you have anything scheduled for Comic-Con that people should check out? Yeah if you guys are just like walking around on the street tomorrow or Friday you might see me holding a microphone with the camera crew, rotten tomatoes, so come talk movies with us, we're doing a bunch on the street interviews and just hosting a lot, so come talk movies with us. We're just doing a bunch of on the street interviews

and just hosting a lot of fun stuff down here with you, the real people who are the lifeblood of not only San Diego and Comic-Con, but this comedy club here tonight and hopefully tomorrow night as well. Vote for him 2024. Beautiful. That's right.

But I'm gonna try to swing by Leonard's panel at 4 p.m. on Friday But I'm going to try to swing by Leonard's panel at 4 PM on Friday, because I want to know what happens if Brad Pitt shows up and says Leonard Balton is wrong about a movie. Would you just let him have it, or would you just? He gets a pass. OK, all right. The pretty people, they always win.

They always win. Not even Leonard Balton is immune to the beauty of Brad Pitt. Every time Leonard Balton talks to a famous person, he's talking to a person that's been in a movie he hated. You know what I mean? Because nobody has an absolutely pristine career. Timely interruption, alright? Yeah. This is some years ago, but I'm still working for entertainment tonight,

and I'm driving to an appointment or something, the phone rings which rarely did and it was my boss at entertainment tonight. She said, whatever you're doing, turn your car around, go to Warner Brothers, there's a screening at 1 o'clock, this is like 1230 or 1240, there's a screening at 1 o'clock of Kevin Costner's new film, The Postman. You're gonna go, it's in the Stephen Ross Theater, which is their big screening, the 500 seat theater. It's a beautiful house. Beautiful, beautiful theater. And then as soon as it's over, you're gonna go to Kevin's office on the lot and interview

him. Your whole day just changed. So I didn't know anything, I hadn't read anything about this movie. And this is like a month before it opened. So I innocently parked my car, go into the theater, and as I walk in the theater, there's only about 11 people in this big, big auditorium, and Kevin is talking to them, introducing the movie.

And then he waves hello at me, and I decide to sit by myself, you know, area over here. I hate where this is going. And the film started, and I think in the second hour, I started muttering. Which I don't do, and which I would never do if there were people around me. Because no one told you it was three hours long before it started?

No. I did not know it was three hours long. And I find myself, in the third hour especially, going, ah, jeez. Ah, shit. And then when it's finally over and I use the men's room and walk like 100 yards or so to his office and there are two cameras, camera sound guys, and Kevin. Couldn't be nicer, I sit down. And when you do these press junkets or interviews, there's sort of an unwritten understanding

that the talent, be it the director or producer or one of the actors, don't ask you flat out, did you like the movie? It's kind of a given. or producer or one of the actors, don't ask you flat out, did you like the movie? Yeah, I'll do it. It's kind of a given. Especially not about the postman. Yeah.

So I'm praying he's... Kevin Costner doesn't play by the rules. I'm praying he's not going to break that. But at some point he said something like, and I wanted to... I like big action Western epics, and I said, and I hope you liked it. Or something like that, and I said, well it was great to see it on that big screen.

There you go. That's a pro move. Very good, very good. It worked. Yeah, that's the way. It worked. He said, exactly, that's what I'm talking about. That's the way you need to see that.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I've never been bored so big before. All right, good job, Mark. It was great talking to you. It was great talking to you. You have all the best Leonard Maltin anecdotes. Thank you.

I'm just the fire starter, baby. All right, I'm going to try to say it. Wish me luck, everybody. Our third guest tonight, it's the first time on the show, so happy to have him, give it up for Yorgos Acheitas. Oh, yes. That's good. Give it up for Yorgos Acheitas. Well, yes. That's good. Good.

Yes. Yes. Really enunciated. Yeah, I think that's the first time I mumbled it a little bit just to get away with shit. It's OK. And this time I committed to it. And I'm happy to meet you and excited about the premise of your you're here in town

tell us why you're here for the comic-con I am here in comic-con to screen my documentary which is screened tomorrow at 11 35 a.m. about it's called troll and it and it's about a chain letter that went around the internet in 1999 to get, to subvert Total Request Live's voting process to get a decade old music video from New Kids on the Block on the countdown. And the movie has the most insane fluctuation, the title, And the movie has the most insane fluctuation, the title, because it's troll if you just say it, but it's TR and then it parentheses OL and then the other L, TRL. Yes, it was the dumbest idea possible for SEO reasons, but if you want to search it,

you just have to put it in quotations and cross your fingers and you'll hopefully find it Very dumb, but you know what an artist they go for style they go for style. You got to do it Yeah, and it's a short. Yes, and You felt like it was that's the right length of that particular story It didn't have enough twists to go feature length? No, I don't want to go deep into the machinations of Total Request Live and the day-to-day and doing all that stuff. I think that it's better to just make a movie how long it should be. Yes!

Especially a documentary. I mean you get a lot 13 parters that don't need to be, you know, did she fall down the stairs or was she pushed? Just answer the question. Oh. The crazy thing, like a movie shouldn't be watching a postal worker do his route in real time. But if you see it on the big screen now. But if you see it. I big screen now. But if you see it...

I mean it is during an apocalypse, so he has less stops. There's less dogs barking at him. It's a good day to be a postman. I would think the dog situation would get worse in the apocalypse. Oh yeah, I didn't think, gotta ask a. Zombie dogs, zombie dogs probably hate postmen more than any even regular dogs. I think we as humans are gonna be disappointed when we survive the apocalypse.

Really, there's no zombies, wow. Everything told us there was gonna be at least a zombie or something, it's just nothing. Just a guy who was in Field of Dreams delivering mail. That's all it is. So you're short, you're appropriately lengthed motion picture. Did I read that it's going to be playing at a festival or something? Yeah.

Some sort of announcement? Yeah. Well, so we've done We premiered at Cinequest which is a is in Silicon Valley. So that made a lot of sense I'm also from the Bay Area did a whole bunch We did hot dogs, which is a very big festival in Toronto and we are going to be in mid-august at Holly shorts and Salute your shorts and then I'm I guess first announcement. I'm gonna be in Birmingham at Sidewalkville Festival in August 23rd. So do really, really well.

Is it fun doing Q&As after a short? Like, do you have to, I've seen some festivals, they'll show two or three shorts, and then they'll just make all the participants, all the directors just be in Q&A at the same time? Yes. Does that happen? Oh there's like what's very funny is the one that you're like this is a piece of shit it's 37 minutes long and it could have been 10 and the person just goes on for 15 minutes talking about why he decided to make his short black and white and you're like Jesus fucking

Christ. But did you like it? You'll have to just sit there and sort of be supportive of each other. But then of course, yeah, there's gonna be people that just run their mouths about, you know, whatever movie they made. Yeah, and their aunt is asking them questions they probably already know, and you just have to deal with it.

Yeah, the Q&A, like they could just totally not ask you anything, like just ask the other people questions, I'm sure, or vice versa, you get all the questions. That happens. Yeah, that's what I, I'm glad I of course corrected on that. No, and it's, I saw it in your eyes,

I get all the questions done. The questions are for me. Well, it's like fucking, like most of the things are like somebody, like, because the documentary shorts, people, it's mostly crying or dying, of the things are like somebody, like because it's documentary shorts, people, it's mostly crying or dying or like somebody found voicemails from their grandma and decides to animate over it. Right, right. They'd rather just talk to you about new kids on the blog. Exactly. It's way more fun to talk about. Okay, so before we get into the games that we're going to play this evening, I'd like to ask each of my guests to recommend one movie.

We'll start with you, Leonard. Have you seen something lately or is there a classic you don't think gets enough props these days? Like, what movie would you like to recommend? Oh, boy. I know, there's a lot to pick from. That takes in a lot of territory. There's a little movie that was a Sundance and South by also called Ghost Light. Ghost Light. It's

theater terminology for the sort of standing. The light they leave on and the theater. The work light they leave on. Yeah. And it's, I don't know, I didn't know the actors, didn't know the filmmakers, but it's a wonderful movie. A really wonderful movie. The only person I recognize is Dolly DeLeon, who was in the... Triangle of Sadness. Triangle of Sadness.

Yeah. And got a lot of attention there. But anyway, it's really good. It's called Ghostlights. About an ordinary guy who's having, he's been through a family crisis. And I don't wanna say too much, but he winds up joining an amateur theater troupe

and finding a way through the darkness by losing himself in doing a play. Well, I'm glad he chose that and not improv or stand up. Yeah. Much better way to go. Yeah, because we don't need that. We don't need that.

We don't need that movie, I'll tell you that. No, I just couldn't stop thinking of like that old Neil Diamond song about ET, Turn on Your Heartlight. I kept thinking, turn on your ghost light! I thought he said ghost wife and I was like, is that like in the ghost dad canon? Like we don't need to reboot everything. No, especially not Ghost Dad. Okay, so Mark, with or without ghosts, recommend a motion picture. There's some ghost-like stuff in this one, and I don't know if any of you folks have been to the theater recently, but I had to see the scariest movie of all time in quotes.

I saw Long Legs. Anyone check out the Long Legs? We've had some people that are long leggers. Yeah. That's what their fan club is called. So are you bringing it up because you loved it? I was interested by it. When someone says recommend a movie you go here's one I found interesting. Yeah. It interested me. But it is like one of those movies. I hate going to the movie theater with people. Like, I hate going with friends.

Okay. I want to sit by myself and then just be by my thoughts. I don't need your opinion ruining my opinion of the movie. But for long legs, I kind of wished for like one movie only that like I had gone with a group of people because I didn't like want to talk about it afterwards with somebody you know yeah so instead I just found myself outside the theater afterwards and I met three strangers and everybody walking out a long way just like we need to talk about

it right like it was like we're all like fans of a team and like do you believe that call in the fourth quarter and none of us were really sure if we liked it if we did like it, did we love it? How much did we like? It was a well-made movie and I appreciated it, but there's just like a lot of cool mythology and lore and, but it didn't like get under my skin at all, you know? Like the way The Exorcist has a lot of that same Catholic

kind of, you know, be over the head with it and it scares the crap out of me to this day. And Long Legs was like, yeah, that's, you know, that's a weird guy. It's a funny boy doing weird things. Ah! That's my impression of Long Legs. Ah!

You know what was weird? I saw it two days after my birthday. Happy birthday. It was like he was singing it right to me. All right. That's my recommendation. That's your recommendation. People are going to run out of here to see it. Go with somebody.

Yeah. Use your long legs to go see it. Don't short leg this one. Get the fuck over there. I was initially very concerned about, long legs just felt like it was gonna be one of those ones that really taps into some, you know, just for me would be like kind of a miserable experience.

But from what I've heard people say about it, I'm more, I'm getting more in line with, you know, going and seeing it in the theater. Very good performances, I'll say, from everybody. Everybody was really good in it. Well, you know, I'm a Nick Cage completist. Yeah. And so that means you gotta see some shit.

And then you gotta argue with people about which ones are shitty and which ones are good. Which ones he's good in, which ones he's shitty in, and which ones being shitty works for the movie, and which ones being shitty ruins the movie. It's just endless opinions about that guy. He really, for a good 15 year chunk, he was just like that sad, desperate guy on Tinder,

just yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Well you know, he says in interviews that he is a working actor, and so he doesn't wait for the right script to come along, he just works. Did you read that interview we just did with, in The New Yorker? I didn't read it, but.

It's really interesting. Had a conversation with Susan Orlean, who wrote adaptation, who wrote the book that adaptation is based on. And he's a very thoughtful guy. Yeah, and he really just, he doesn't care if the movie's, whatever the movie is around him, he's gonna play his character.

Yeah. And he nails it every time, but then of course, there's people disagree. Uh... That's the interesting thing about him is when, you know, when all is said and done, he's given a lot of first-ish time filmmakers a really big break by agreeing to be in their movie.

And the list of people he's worked with is getting more and more impressive. Now, can I ask you this question? Do you think he picks first time film directors because he wants to uplift them or because he knows that if he does crazy shit they can't say anything? He can do what he wants. Like he knows that they're hiring him to do what he does

and they'll stay out of his way. But I think it's a pleasant experience. I think Nick Cage isn't like that method. I think he's a pleasant person to be around is the feeling I get. But yeah, that's a good question though. I saw a film he did with Elijah Wood at South by Southwest years ago called Trust.

And it's about corrupt cops. And the point of interest besides him being in it is that Jerry him being in it is that Jerry Lewis was in it playing his father. Oh, really? Apparently that was Nick's idea. Oh, okay. That he, it was like a dream gig to have Jerry Lewis,

be in a movie with Jerry Lewis, and to have Jerry Lewis play his dad. And the two filmmakers stayed for the Q&A afterwards and they said that Jerry was kind of losing it. They shot it in Vegas where he lived. So it made it as easy as possible for him. And that he was, he inspired the crew with his stories of teamwork and all that kind of stuff

behind the camera. And everybody loved the experience, but he couldn't really memorize lines anymore. So he's there, he's in it, but it's kind of just a token appearance. But I found it so interesting that Nick Cage was, you know. Wanted him. Yeah.

Yeah. No, it's kind of, you know, he's in a position to just sort of have ideas like that and then it actually happens. I'm glad Jerry Lewis wasn't his is the long legs you got. Okay. That's more of a young Jerry Lewis. Yeah, that's right. Not as many cigarettes yet. Okay, Yorga, what's your your what would you like to recommend? well, I I

Saw a sorcerer by William Friedkin, and I really liked that and then my buddy was like hey you like that I Got something to show you and he showed me an old Clint Eastwood movie called the Eicher sanction Is anybody in here ever heard of that movie before? Liars. It is older than shit. I think it's 49 years old and it was fine. It was two hours long, which I appreciate. There's a whole third act where they mountain climb. That's lovely.

But there was this character that I cannot get out of my head. And the whole point of the movie is that Clint Eastwood is a professor who used to be an assassin. Yeah, he did. Yeah, he did. And he used to be the fucking best at it. And they needed him back. No one would be more fun than this. And they needed the guy, they need him back.

They need him back because he's the fucking best. And we need to sanction, synonym for kill, Iker. And so the coolest part is there's a character who was like a boss in it, who like cajoles him into doing it, and he is an albino man, very corpulent, obese man, who sits under a red light like he's a bearded lizard. Uh.

And he just talks with his high-pitched, almost long-leggazy voice, like he's fucking Tom Hardy trying to be Jabba the Hutt. Like, Oh, I'm going to die! And, uh, I couldn't get enough of it. And he got blood transfusions, uh, in the middle of the movie, and they just keep it moving.

They're like, hey, what's going on? I just need to get new blood every six months. Okay. Cool. You so had me into this movie until that last part. Yeah. Oh, you get blood transfusions? No, just like the guy. Like, I wanted Clint Eastwood in a classroom with kids, and he's teaching, and then, like, you have that scene

where, like, his old boss comes in the back, and he stops. He's like, uh, class dismissed early. Do your homework, and and he's teaching and then you have that scene where his old boss comes in the back and he stops, he's like, class dismissed early, do your homework and then he's like, gotta talk to this guy, he's like, we need you back for one more mountain climbing mission, then they go climb a mountain in the third act. Yes, but then there's the guy on the red light.

That's the best part of the movie. He's an albino fellow who speaks really weird. And, do you remember this movie Leonard the Eiger sanction yeah yeah yes I just remember the poster is very snowy like he's like doing this yeah mountain or whatever yeah he's like a snow suit he's wearing a snow suit yeah it's fine you should watch it but it just said the guy stuck with me and then there's a dog in it who has a very unfortunate name that I cannot say out loud.

Whoa. Oh, yeah, probably should. Damn. And I couldn't believe it because they didn't capitalize it. So I thought they were just calling the dog a homophobic slur the entire time. Wow. This movie really focus groups poorly.

Yes. As you can tell. Yeah. Nobody's gonna spend the $349 on Amazon. All right, Doug, you got one out of three recommendations. Well, yeah, I was gonna say, like, I should call this segment, what movie you just have something to say about? What movie are you just dying to tell people exists, but not necessarily...

Like... Like, in the case of Yorgo, I feel like that's all I needed, was I know that much about it, I don't even need to watch it. Because I know what is obviously the most interesting aspect of the movie. I prefer a short documentary on that movie. Now, I'm curious about Long Legs, I'm curious about Osgood Perkins, who wrote and directed it. And is Anthony Perkins' son. Yeah.

And the grandson of his namesake, Osgood Perkins, who was a great stage actor, who did some films too. So I'm curious about the lineage and what this generation has to. Sets a very creepy tone. But I'm a wimp. Am I going to have trouble with the movie?

I think you're going to be fine. I don't think so. That's that's why I'm going to go see it. I think it's because it's not as you guys see it together. But people keep, you know, a movie that they keep comparing it to frequently is Seven. And that's much rougher in a lot of ways. Yeah. OK. A lot of ways. Yeah. I don't think it's going that. Gwyneth Paltrow ways.

I thought they were comparing it to... I think you're gonna be fine Leonard. Okay. You get in there, you get yourself a big bucket of popcorn and you full throttle that movie. Okay. Yeah, get in there. Done.

It's not too long, right? No. It's very like slow pace, but it's brisk. Yeah, it's like a buck 45. Droning, but it goes by real, real quick. It's good to... See, but it's brisk. Yeah, it's like a buck 45. Droning, but it goes by real, real quick. It's good to... See, I'm recommending it, we're recommending something. It's exciting boring.

Exactly. There we go. It's zippy sluggish. I've never seen a movie that would be perfect to parody like in a scary movie movie, since like, since like for the ring because there's so much absurdity in it that you could just make fun of like you got the Nick cage dressed like a fucking ghost the entire time. It's yeah, and it follows is no the good parody movie Oh, it falls because it has the same star. Yes. There we go There's also elements of it follows in that.

You guys should tune in to Yorgo's nice podcast. Yes. Mark and Yorgo. We introduce each other to movies that we end up hating. Yes. They're all just fine. And then at the end, we make Wendert Bulten see it. On the big screen.

It looks real good. That's where you have to. That's where you have to see that. You gotta see it. Okay, so, thanks for those recommendations. And we're gonna play some games right after this. We'll be right back. This episode is brought to you in part by Shopify. Real quick, what's the easiest choice you can make?

Back to this show. We're back! Woo! All right. We're back! Whoo! Applause Applause Lots of great name tags in the audience, like so many.

It took us, it took us, I got something in my eye. It took us a while. But we did it. We narrowed it down to Leonard is playing for Beth Becomes Her. Mark is playing for Adam. That's enough said about that. And...

You don't have a clue what we went through during the break. And Yorgo's playing for a Natalie of a Murder, which is... That's fun. Very fun. Shout out to Chris and his passion, too Or no Natalie of a fall They say the wrong one

Okay We're gonna play some games and then somebody's gonna walk away with this bag full of stuff and Leonard's most recent book and the first game game we're going to play today is something that I call, or it's been called, Alex's Jason and Deb's IMDB game. That's right. An old favorite is back. This is a game where we use the, there's a jumping off point, the IMDB feature on each person's page is best known for.

For titles, movies, TV, but you know, four things that they're best known for and that's how this game works. Is I'll start naming the IMDB best known for for actor or actress and then as soon as you think you know who it is, buzz in with your own name, just say your own name into your microphone, then I will call on you. Can you pronounce your name okay? Yes, I'll be okay. Okay, okay.

I'll be okay. And then you will guess, and if you are incorrect, it's a negative one point, but if you get the answer right, then you get a point plus additional points for each. You get however many are left in the top four, you get to guess the titles, and if you get those right, you get bonus points. And then the person with the most points

after we've done this for too long is our winner. Any questions? Johnny. Johnny. Leonard said off mic that he has too many questions. Therefore, no questions.. Like why even bother? Okay, here we go.

I love your competitive nature, Leonard. You always really want to win. Here we go. All right. The first one, first round starts with the Shining. And you see somebody could buzz in right now, but there's several people, maybe a dozen actors in the Shining. Shelley Duvall.

That was going to be my guess. I'm sorry Leonard, that is incorrect. Leonard taking one for the team. Yeah, she just passed away and I thought it was topical. I guess. I'm sorry Leonard, that is incorrect. Leonard taking one for the team? Yeah, she just passed away and I thought it was topical. I was just explaining that that's too early to buzz in. Trying to keep people from wildly buzzing in. But we'll see what happens as we continue.

But we'll see what happens as we continue. Because Mark and Yorgo could still jump in if they can pronounce their own names. So far we have The Shining. Then we have One Flew Over the Yorgoo's Nest. Mark got in before Yorgo. Yes. I'm between Scatman Carruthers and Jack Nicholson. I do not think those are appropriate things to call my other guests tonight. But I am curious which is which. This is your go, guys.

This Carruthers thing is playing all over the stage. I'm gonna go with Jack Nicholson, please. That is also incorrect. Damn it, Nick! Yay! All right, you're a ghost. We got Shining with the Cuckoo's Nest, and do you wanna guess at this point,

or do you wanna- Yeah, Scatman Brothers. Scatman Brothers is correct. All right. How did you ever- Woo! In a walk. How did you ever think of that? Well played. Well played. Very well played.

Okay so give me two more Scatman Crothers movies if you dare. Do you know any other ones? I want to say Rockadoodles but that that's wrong. No, I don't have any. But you want to say it. You want to say it, but I'm not going to say it. I don't think that's his number one best known movie. No, I'm good. We've got numbers three and four. And no guesses?

No guesses. He's in Twilight Zone, the movie. He's in the Kick the Can segment that Spielberg directed. And then is this funny that you said an animated movie because this fourth is the Aristocat. Oh. Oh. Oh.

He was not Sean DeClair, apparently. No. But boy, you're really tearing off into the lead here, Yorga, because you have one point. Oh, man. Insurmountable. Everyone else is in the red. It's a two point lead, yeah. Here we go. So remember my advice about buzzing in too early? That's not for us. Yes, I would implore you not to. It was counterintuitive of me to do that. It was right there. The first movie is The Shining.

He's loving this. The next movie is Blade Runner. OG Blade Runner. The third movie, Paths of Glory, and the fourth, final motion picture, The Killing. Leonard? Timothy Carey. Who's that? I thought that's better than you're wrong, Leonard Malton. To just throw it back at him.

Who is that? The answer is Joe Turkel. Yeah, Joe Turkel. I don't know that other guy. Timothy Carey is the sniper in The Killing. Oh, The Killing, okay, yeah. The Killing, Stanley Kubrick film. So that's probably why this guy, Joe Turkell, is in The Shining and The Killing now.

He liked him. All right. There's more people in The Shining than I remember. I just thought it was like the family and then like, Well, let's see what happens in round three. The first title is The Shining. The second title is Airport. Yeah. It says, the second title is Airport. Yeah, there's a movie called Airport, and it's about all the drama that happens at an airport. But then it also was like one of the first kind of quote unquote disaster movies of the 70s

and there's an incident with a bomb and a plane and anyway the third title is a guy named Joe and then the fourth title is the first traveling sales lady I know all those films unfortunately Through all of those but I cannot For the life of me think of who was in all of them. You'll know this guy once I say it. Well, yeah he's the Like the forgotten James Bond because he played him in a TV thing Barry Barry Nelson. Barry Nelson is the man's name. I'm gonna take one of Leonard's minus points off...

Yeah! But... for guessing it at the appropriate time. Yeah. He guessed it when he knew it. All right. Yeah. Yeah. knew it. All right. So Mark and Leonard are tied with a negative one each and

Yorgo has one and the fourth round starts with the shining. And then the second film, get ready Leonard, get your mic up closer to your mouth do it the second movie after the shining is three women Shelley Duvall what's your name Leonard Maughan Shelly Duvall is correct, and so now you're back to zero. And, uh, but you get bonus points. God, this game got hard in a year. Last time I was here, it was like Naaman Arnold Schwarzenegger movie.

And now it's like, what was the ghost bartender's nephew in The Shining? Shh. We haven't gotten to him yet. Settle down. He was in seat 38F in Airport. Leonard gets to name two more movies that had Shelley Duvall in them. Popeye and Thieves Like Us. Oh that is a terrific guess. Great Robert Altman movie.

They went with Annie Hall, her one one scene one or two scenes in any hall But Popeye gets you a point so now you're tied for first with your Leonard and your one point each and kind of a low bar tonight All right, let's get serious here now because we have to settle this tie. So Mark, sit this one out. I just wanted to get one question right. See, you gotta choose general apathy

when you're doing game shows. All right, first one of you two to buzz in and get this one right wins this game and the opportunity to go first in our next game, so it's not that big a deal. Don't put too much pressure on yourselves. The first movie is called Chinatown. Yorgo. Who is it? I fucked this up.

It's a... I'm gonna go Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson is correct! That is correct! Oh nice! Oh nice! Wow!

Woo! I get to go first now! You did it man! You fucking did it man I was just watching on cable TV this afternoon the hotel room as good as it gets it's the second movie on his top four and then the departed and one flow of the Cougars nest shining didn't even make it into his top four. But anyway, great job everybody. And because you pulled that victory out, Yorgo, you are first in this next game. And it's a brand new game. We haven't played before, but I hope everybody loves it.

It's called No Fucks to Give. Yeah! Woo! I will name a movie, Yorgo, and then you will tell me, I mean, I'll tell you three movies, and then you will tell me which one has the most F-bombs in it. Oh, right. Ha ha!

If you miss, then Mark will get a chance. If Mark misses, then of course Leonard will get a gimme point because there's only three options. And each time someone gets it right, we'll start with the next person. And Yorgo, are you ready? Absolutely. Okay, here we go. Which one of these three movies has the most fucks to give?

Wolf of Wall Street, Casino, or Goodfellas? Wolf of Wall Street. He did not hesitate to say Wolf of Wall Street, which makes me feel like you're really into either Wolf of Wall Street or the word fuck. Both. Both. Both. Because that is the correct answer! Cheers and applause Holy crap, that was right out of the gate, Yorgo. I think that holds the record for most fucks to give.

It is in fact the third highest amount of fucks in motion picture history. Oh, fuck me. It came in with a staggering 569 fucks. I mean these are, you know, this is Scorsese and Long, so they're all three hours long. Casino had 422 and Goodfellas just struggling behind just little baby 300 fucks. Wow. All right, here we go. Round two, that means Mark, you're up first.

Which one of these has the most F-bombs? Eddie Murphy, raw. Dolomite is my name. Or Dr. Dolittle? (*audience laughs*) Which Dr. Dolittle? Which Dr. Dolittle, if you don't mind me? The one with Robert Downey. That's only Dolittle.

No man, Rex Harrison was throwing f-bombs left and right back in the day. The OG Eddie Murphy one, just Dr. Dolittle. I gotta go with, I love Dolmite as my name. I've seen it multiple times, seen Eddie Murphy Raw a bunch. I just feel like there's more flippant usage of the F word there. So I'm gonna go with Eddie Murphy Raw. Eddie Murphy Raw is correct. All right, back in the game, baby. 233 fucks in that movie, and Dolomite has... Incidentally, who is counting these?

I dare say some fuck who just likes seeing his own name or hearing it and likes to add it up. Some people have just too much free time on that. Leonard, the lists out there, like, you know, I just typed into a search engine, you know, like what movies have a lot of fucks and it's all there. It's all there. I do love the idea, it's just one dude's job

to count every fuck in every movie, and that's his job. Yeah, well, you just wait. On a future episode of the show, I'm gonna play Who Gives a Shit? Because they count those two It's that guy's brother You're gonna do every two hours you just hear this not now ma we're counting Oh Dr. Doolittle had zero if anybody was wondering

And yet, that's the wackiest premise of all Like these animals shouldn't be fucking talking they are wonder, ah. And yet that's the wackiest premise of all of them. Like, these animals shouldn't be fucking talking, but they are. Why the fuck is this mastiff talking to me right now? You think my dog doesn't know the word fuck? Come on. No, it's bitch talk.

If they know how to speak, they're probably going to use swear words. Probably going to say the word a lot, yeah. OK. So Mark got that one right. So we start with you, Leonard, between these three movies between Scarface, Jarhead or Snatch. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh.

Okay. On the second one. Ooh. Jarhead. That was Jake Gyllenhaal in the military. George Clooney's movies. Yeah, what do you think between those three, which one has the most F words?

I'm gonna guess Scarface. Scarface is incorrect, I'm afraid. Sorry. Okay, in stache. When they say it like F-O-O-K, does that still count? That's a really good question. I didn't even think about that, that they say it funny, but that's what they mean.

So I guess that's, I guess the person counting it would have counted those. Time out, we gotta look up Fouque. Yeah, Fouque. And then the mumbling that fucking Brad Pitt does. And then they're like, shit, we gotta rerun the whole thing. I'm, oh, shit. No, no, no, fuck.

Fuck, shit. 50-50 chance, I'm going gonna go with Snatch. I mean when in doubt, it's always a good thing to go with Snatch, but that is incorrect. Fuck. I feel pretty good about my chances here, don't I? So Mark, how do you feel about this? Yeah, you feeling good? Yeah, I did see Jarhead. I don't recall there being one F bomb in Jarhead, but I just got a funny feeling.

Give me Jarhead. Jarhead is the correct answer. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Can I guess the amount of fucks? Yes, you can. Okay, it's like the jelly beans in a jar, and I'm looking at them, and I'm gonna say that there are,

I'm gonna say that there's 89 fucks in Jarhead. You're off by about 200%. If I'm doing the math right, there's 278. Yeah, you know, they're just, they're Jarheads, of course. Scarface is 207 and Snatch is only 159 but that is a really good question about the Fooks and the Fugs. I bet they didn't count the Fooks. I bet they didn't count the Fooks. Nor the Brad Pitt mumbling at all. They might not have done the proper counting with the Fooks. Meet the Fookers was the sequel to Snatch. All right, so Mark got that point.

So Leonard, you get to go first on this next one. Oh goody. I think this is a filmmaker's work you have enjoyed and maybe not all three of these, but which movie has the most F-bombs? Clockers, Son of Sam, or Do the Right Thing? Do the Right Thing. Shush. It's not like she knows. You know? I mean, she sounded like she knows.

She's very emphatic. But yeah, it might have just been a guess. She might have been encouraging Leonard to just do the right thing. Yeah. She might have been encouraging Leonard to just do the right thing. Yeah. I am going to, I, clockers would, would surprise me if that, if that's the one. I'm going to go do the right thing.

You're going to go with her. No, I'm just going to name do the right thing. Hashtag you're with her. That is incorrect. Oh man. Summer of Sam? You can't just keep guessing. No, I'm actually curious.

Yeah, well we'll go to Yorgo and Hill Gas and we'll find out soon enough. Between Clockers or Sun of Sam, which one do you think has more? See, you like to, like, I'm scared that there's gonna be a tie. It's really in my mind. Like, could I impress everybody and get this right by saying tie? Oh, I thought you meant the same number of fucks in both movies. That's what I'm saying. Like, there's both, yeah. Why, I wouldn't, I Picked ones that have a different number

I'm gonna go with summer of Sam final answer The number for most swear words in a movie f-bombs overall is summer of Sam with 435 but clockers is number one. No. No. No. Clockers comes in with only 185, but probably

because it's based on a novel. Yeah, authors are different. I can't do it again. Yeah. I can't do that. I mean, Summer Sam is all about the hot summer, right? Yeah, it's hot. People would be like, oh, fuck. is all about the hot summer, right? Yeah, it's hot. Just people would be like, fuck, it's so fucking hot.

Fucking Reggie Jackson hit another one. I'm going to go fucking over here and try to get out of the fucking heat for a fucking second. Yeah, that's Summer Sam. Summer Sam. It was like we were just watching the trailer. That trailer, by the way, is fantastic. The movie, eh, eh, eh. But seriously, watch the trailer for Summer Sandwich, one of the best trailers I've ever seen.

I shit you not. I fuck with you not. It's a great trailer. Is it better than the trailer for Paddington 2? Okay, so we've got a tie. You guys are tying it up left and right. This is an exciting match up tonight. We're the best of the best.

On the eve before Comic Con. So who just answered that? Who got the last one? Yorgo. He got Summer Sam, right? All right, so that means it's Mark's turn. And this Mark is a 50-50 to break the tie. So if you get this one right, you win the game.

If you miss it, your go is our winner. I want all the pressure on my shoulders, Douglas. Here we go. Which one has more F-bombs? Uncut gems or straight out of Compton? Yeah, I'm not fucking around. Oh, boy. I wish you had a quarter just to flip. You all ever see a baby in a movie, I'm walking around. I wish you had a quarter just to flip. Y'all ever see a baby in a movie and it's like,

why did somebody bring a baby to that movie? Somebody brought a baby, a baby baby, to straight out of Compton at 9 p.m. at night and I was just like, hell yeah you did. You know, maybe music helps the baby to go to sleep. Maybe it's, yeah. Nighttime lullabies. I enjoyed both movies thoroughly.

I feel like if I was trapped in a trunk for any point in time, naked, I would say the word fuck a lot. And so I am going to go with Uncut Gems. Final answer. That is correct. That was good. That was good.

That was good. That was good. That was good. That was great. That was great. That was great. Only a difference of 16 F words. Straight outta Compton, 390 and Uncut Gems, 408.

Or 392 and 408. We are so desensitized, folks! Did anybody walk out of Uncut Gems and be like, I think there was at least 200 fucks in that movie? I think it was more like three. You could feel it in that movie though, because there's so much tension.

Oh, it's a tough re-watch, but. Yeah. Good movie, good fucking movie. Yeah, I mean, it just would have been a lot less tense if they had cleaned up their language a little bit. Has they tried to put that on like TNT or TBS? Like the cable exclusive premiere of Uncut Gems and it's like 18 minutes long? We gotta take a break.

When we come back, Mark is gonna play first in our final game that's gonna determine a winner tonight. We'll see you in a few. We're back! Alright, we got one last game to play. This is a serious one. You know it, you love it. It's called Super Deluxe Last Person Standing. Okay, so in this game, we are going to go out to the audience, to the three people whose name tags were chosen by my guests.

Each one of them is going to name an actress from Motion Pictures. And then the four of us, because I like to play along, are going to take turns naming movies that any one of those four actresses has been in. As soon as one of their movies is said, it's off the table, no repeats, correct titles only, very accurate titles, unfortunately. It gets tough, I already have forgotten, it's just Deadpool and Wolverine, there's no more words. I really don't know.

I think that's it. No, I don't think there's a subtype. There is? I don't think there is. Oh yeah, yeah, I don't think there is. I don't even know if it was Godzilla N, or was it Godzilla Timescom? Xcom?

Yeah, it's X. X, Godzilla Xcom? And then there's some other titles. Colon, ball. Yeah, yeah, and then more words. They're getting crazy with it. The whole shocking story. Yeah.

Yeah. Like, now they're making movies where the first one has a colon and then more words. It's like, what are you doing? Yeah. It's not a what are you doing? Yeah. It's not a sequel. Settle down. Remember we had Jaws and then you know what the next movie was?

Jaws 2. It was that easy. Roman noodles if you want, but whatever. OK, so we'll take turns naming the movies. And oh, and you have one lifeline, and that is the person who named the actress that you're having trouble thinking of a movie that she's been in. So let's go to, where's Yorgo's name tag at? And, Natalie! Way back there, way back there.

Who would you, what actress would you like? Laura Dern! Laura Dern is an excellent, excellent choice. Good call, good call. I love it. Good start. OK. Now we go to, where's Mark's name tag?

All right, Adam. Adam. Selma Hayek. Selma Hayek. That one? This guy knows my type. And Leonard's is Beth becomes her... Kate Blanchett.

Kate Blanchett, there we go. Now I gotta tell you, these three people on stage, I have a lot of confidence in them, but if a lot of my other guests were on this stage, this would be rough. Yeah, but we ace the fuck game. We're good for this. Yeah, yeah. No, I think you're going to do great. So we'll start with Mark, and then we'll go to Yorgo, then me, then Leonard, then Mark,

around like that. I can, of course, win, so it's whoever lasts the longest that isn't me. And sometimes I'm not the longest lasting. I think. Don't build this up. I don't know why I'm getting into such personal stuff. Yeah. The floor is yours, Doug.

If you'd want to continue sharing. No, no, I'm good. We're on a tight sketch. I got a lot of exciting Comic Con things to do tomorrow, like listen to the traffic reports on my drive back to Los Angeles. Give a good hearty wave to Del Mar. Where the turf meets the surf. Okay so they still play that song? I love that fucking song. I think Bing Crosby sings it. So what were we talking about? Oh

Douglas movies in progress. Are we ready to go? I'll recap. It's Kate Blanchett, Salma Hayek, or Laura Dern, the films thereof. And Mark, you go first. All right. I will start the bidding with Jurassic Park. Okay. I always have that second of who was in that? Oh, okay, correct. Uh. Uh. Uh. Yorgo? Uh. Marriage story.

What? Marriage story. Oh, marriage story, yes. Yes, Laura Dern nominated for. Won. Supporting actress and won it. According to my sources. Ha ha ha.

Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. I want it according to my sources. Okay, all right, so I'm going to go, oh, I'm going to say Selma Hayek and Owen Wilson in Bliss. Geez. I don't recommend it. Okay. All right, Leonard. Owen Wilson in Bliss. Geez. I don't recommend it. Okay. All right, Leonard.

Pushing Tin. An early Cade Blanchett film. Yeah, I like that. You might have wanted to save that one. Oh right, because Bliss was a box office hit. I went with like the biggest movie ever. I told him he should save that one. Cause you're not gonna say it.

Would you say Pushing Tin? No, I was gonna say Jurassic Park 2 until I remembered she wasn't in it. Is this supposed to lose in the dance ball? That's also not what it's called. You might be losing at different angles. Then I'm gonna play it safe and I'm going to go desperado. These people get it. Yes. Yes, burr-ado.

Yeah. Your girl? The aviator. Cate Blanchett's cape at Heburn. So you want an Oscar for that? Mm-hmm. Beachy to it. Okay. Thor Ragnarok.

Yeah. For Cate Blanchett. Leonard? Oscar and Lucinda. Cate Blanchett. You're really pulling them out. Those are some good ones. Holy cow. All right. I'm now I'm concerned. I think Leonard knows his Cate Blanchett. Who said Cate Blanchett? You did? He's playing for you. Collusion!

Collusion! Rigged. It's been rigged. Wonderful romantic comedy, Fools Rush In. Lake Rae Matthew Perry. The movie that taught me you can have a Coney dog shipped anywhere in the world. What? No, I mean like, what did I tell you about storytelling? What did I say about sidebars? No more tangents, you're good.

Mark's making Doug feel a little blue Jasmine. Oh nice. He sort of used it in a sentence. Yeah, that's the whole title of it. That's the truth, citizen Ruth. Yeah. Laura Dern. Yeah. I thought you said Susan.

And I was like, oh. Leonard? You got another one. You know it. Yeah, I know. He knows. He knows. I'm not there. That's good.

That's Bob Dylan. Mark? Oh, my turn. All right. Let's go with the Salma Hay going back to the Salma Hayek. Well, thank you, Adam. Bandidas. Bandidas.

Bandidas. It's a Western with Salma Hayek. And I'm a white guy saying it. Yeah, you are. I think it's pronounced bandadas from not mistaken good one I have no way to tell you if you're right or wrong on that one gracias yes he's slipped it by me if it's not true but it sounds feels true it's true your go Frieda Frieda yes just a you know I know Mark is really focused on one particular I

got a lane I'm staying in so I'm gonna take one from your lane. Don't do it. Yeah you know you're thinking of it. Don't do it. Wild Wild West. Winky Winky Wild Wild West. You don't deserve to watch Bandidas. Back to you, Leonard, with the weather. Citizen Ruth. I said that one. You did? Yeah. I had no one understood what I said because I said that's the truth, Citizen Ruth, like it was the whole title.

I was having a moment. That's what they say. You got another one? I will in a minute. Okay. Oh, I literally thought having a moment was like a movie with Cate Blanchett. I was like, God, this guy's good. I can't... Like, you could have told me she won an Oscar. I'd be like, yeah, I remember that. She was good in I'm having a moment.

Was she in Fuck I Can't Think of Anything? Here we go. To jog my mind, can I call out my lifeline? Oh, you can go to your lifeline, of course. Yeah, what do you got Beth? Where'd you go Bernadette? Where'd you go Bernadette? Yep, that was one of her more recent movies that nobody knows about.

That sounds like less of a movie than having a moment. It's real though. Did you see it Leonard? No. No, he didn't see it. But it's real. Mark? I'm gonna go with the movie I thought you were gonna take from me, but you're not gonna get it, Benson. From dusk till dawn. Oh! Thank you! Woo!

Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Good one. Fly eagle, fly.

Good one. Thank you. Don't patronize me, Malton. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh. Uh.

Uh. Uh-oh, is Yorgo in trouble? No, I just don't wanna do it. No, he's hanging tough. I, huh. Uh oh, is Yorgo in trouble? No, I just don't want to do this. No, he's hanging tough. I, oh. There we go. 11.35 tomorrow.

Uh, grown ups. Grown ups. Grown ups 2. Blender. Ah, damn. I'm thinking about this film with Laura Dern and her mother, Diane Ladd, and I'm not getting the title. Yeah.

I'm going to have that title in a minute. Yeah. Well, you're welcome to it. I appreciate your help. I'll write, I'll make a special note that you assisted my win today, tonight, if it happens. But great job, Leonard. That's right. Mark? Yeah, these goddamn sequels. I you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The Dominion coding machines.

It was just weird timing to use the word. They could have called it something else. It didn't make sense to call it Dominion when you think about it. Alright, Yorgo. I'm going to call in my lifeline hoping they know what the movie from Laura Dern is. Oh, nice. Steal it from me. I like it. You got that, Natalie? Lifeline.

Alice doesn't live here anymore! That just sounds like a really random heckle. I'm sorry. Alice is gonna pay the bill. But she doesn't. She's not here anymore. Which one of those would you think was in that movie, Leonard? Asterisk, Young Lady. Yeah, right? Who do you think was in that? What does she play?

She was little. She's an extra in the scene in the diner she's eating ice cream. That's fucking right. Holy shit. Oh my God. That's so funny. Super impressive. Not what I wanted from you at all. You were supposed to block.

I have other answers ready. Yeah. You know why Natalie couldn't give you the right answer because she herself is wild at heart thank you Leonard for that one that movie's wild it's got a little heart but it's mostly one her mother her, that scene where she's just like smearing lipstick all over her face, and David Lynch is just in so insanely tight the whole time.

Oscar nominated that performance. All right, Mark, back to you. Oh boy, I had Wild at Heart, but I thought it was called Something Wild, so I'm glad you said it, so I didn't. And now I can just easily, conveniently go back to the well with Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Mexico.

Mexico. See. How many times did they make that same movie? I mean, there's only once with Salma Hayek, so that's the one I saw. But yeah, there's like three of them, right? Yeah, they're all the same movie. Yeah.

Just keep making it. They just keep doing it. All right, Yorgo. But yeah, there's like three of them, right? Yeah, they're all the same movie. Yeah. Just keep making it. They just keep doing it. All right, Yorgo. You can't do movies that haven't come out yet, right? What's that, a title? Sorry, titles are getting like that these days. Mask of Zorro.

Sentence. Whoa. Well done. Selma Ike's in Massachusetts. She is? Yeah. You're thinking of Catherine Xana-Jones. Very good chance I could be.

There's a very good chance I was halfway through it. That was a really good try, though. I appreciate it. I'm going to furiously look this up in a second. OK. Yeah, my guests are always just standing around looking at their phones immediately after the show, there's no answer. They're like, God damn it. Why didn't I think of that? But this is a, I'm sure I could come up

with another for one of those ladies. Part of what really messes me up is how they all start doing TV stuff and miniseries and, you know, cause I started thinking all the stuff I've seen promos for, like Laura Dern's in Big Little Lies, right? And, uh. That was such a good show. Kay Blanchett's in that show, Miss America. You know, they're just in shows I'm seeing ads for,

even more prominently than movies. Like nobody saw any ads for What the Fuck's Up With You, Bernadette? What was it called? Where did you go Bernadette? Not to the box office to buy a ticket to your movie apparently. All right so I'm just stalling because I'm just starting to draw a blank and I don't want to drag it out. Oh you got another one? Elizabeth. Oh yeah that's right. Elizabeth II. Yeah right but we're gonna call mark our winner today congratulations mark did was there music playing I felt like I got a little bit of theme music there
