Let's meet

2:23

everybody individually and alphabetically

2:25

by first name. He's

2:28

a returning champ that was pulled

2:30

2:34

in Maryland a couple weeks back.

2:41

Kurt Zeigler. Hey, Kurt. How you doing? Good.

2:45

How are you doing? Hello everyone. I'm

2:47

alright except for this this

2:50

voice thing. I just I

2:52

arrived in Spokane, Washington a couple days

2:54

ago and and my I

2:56

lost my voice and then proceeded

2:59

to do four stand up headlining

3:01

comedy shows which did

3:04

not help my voice but

3:06

now after this podcast is over,

3:08

I'll have two days to rest

3:11

and hopefully things will

3:13

improve or I'll just always sound

3:16

like someone who smokes cigarettes which I

3:18

do not. Kurt

3:20

Zeigler, how has your life changed since

3:22

becoming a Douglas movies champion? Oh

3:26

man, it's been crazy. I can't

3:28

I can't even keep track of all the letters

3:30

I'm getting and all the fan mail just it's

3:32

it's nuts but you got a

3:35

lot of you got a lot of letters

3:37

like a few vowels and a few consonants.

3:40

Exactly exactly. No but

3:43

I sent it to a lot of people

3:45

and oh you did. Oh yeah. Yeah.

3:47

Yeah. I got a lot of people to listen to

3:49

Douglas movies that never heard of it. Oh, what is

3:51

this? I

3:53

appreciate the bump because you know I'm

3:58

most my guest just doing. to move on,

4:01

you know, because they got busy show

4:03

business lives. But I'm

4:05

glad you were able to use it

4:07

as a calling card or a just

4:10

a show off card. Yeah, does

4:14

anybody? Do you know

4:16

anybody that just listens to it, like on

4:18

their own who would stumble on to you

4:20

suddenly being a guest? Or was

4:23

it all people that aren't familiar that you had to

4:25

go hey, listen to this? Well,

4:27

the only person like that is my

4:29

ex girlfriend. So that should be pretty

4:31

funny. She's gonna be like, what? What

4:33

is it? Oh,

4:35

shit. I might

4:38

lose a listener over this over this

4:40

situation. But you gained like five

4:42

or six with the Kurt Ziegler bumps. Okay,

4:45

that's fantastic. But

4:47

thank you for being here today.

4:50

Also joining us is another champion.

4:52

It's all champs today. It's

4:55

Mary Santora. How's it going, Mary? I

4:58

am one of the people who just move on

5:00

with my very busy show business

5:02

full life. So you're

5:05

you're welcome that I'm back to be honest

5:07

with you. No, I'm actually forward

5:10

the episode to your friends and family

5:12

say listen to this. I'm a champion.

5:15

I will give you a share to my

5:18

Instagram story. That's the best I can do.

5:21

Okay, well, I'm actually

5:23

I'm back home in Cleveland for a week. And

5:26

my step kid has never seen Wizard of Oz.

5:28

So we were watching Wizard of Oz just before

5:30

this. Oh my god, I

5:33

hope Sam and Kurt do okay

5:35

today because it's all Wizard of

5:37

Oz. Oh, my god, the refresher

5:39

course. It's

5:43

funny, I saw, you know, how

5:45

Seth Meyers does that thing where he

5:47

gets drunk with a celebrity. And, you

5:49

know, they just goof around. He did

5:52

one with Mary. I mean, Mary, he

5:54

did one with Julia Louis

5:56

Dreyfus. And during

5:58

it, while they were drunk. she said

6:00

to Seth Meyers, you look like Ray

6:02

Bolger from Wizard of Oz, and he

6:04

did not find it to be a

6:06

compliment. He

6:11

was pretty upset about it. I don't think he's

6:13

a bad looking guy. You

6:17

know, you give a guest a big shot of honesty,

6:19

dude, that's what's gonna happen. All

6:22

right, what did I want to ask you, Mary? Oh,

6:24

how have you been wearing like a

6:26

crown around in your day-to-day life since you won

6:28

on the show? I'm just a

6:30

sash. I'm not really a crown guy,

6:32

more of just a sash, a little

6:34

understated, you know. I don't

6:37

think you're a guy at all, but what does

6:39

the, what does the sash say on

6:41

it? It says, champion

6:44

4EVA, forever.

6:47

Oh, well,

6:49

that might change today,

6:51

unfortunately. I don't think

6:54

so. I like your confidence, I really do,

6:57

because our third guest is

6:59

Sam, the man, Levine, AK, Lil

7:01

Wolverine and Deadpool in theaters July

7:03

26, hashtag not an ad.

7:06

Hi, Sam. Hey, buddy. No

7:10

further questions. My

7:13

voice is too shot for this. That's okay.

7:16

Nothing, not much has changed with me since we last

7:18

did this. We can move right into the next. Well,

7:20

a lot has changed with you since your Zunom avatar,

7:22

because it's a picture of you from

7:25

Freaks and Geeks. A picture from

7:27

like a week ago. I don't know what you're talking about.

7:30

You stay out of your front of a brick wall. Were you doing

7:32

stand-up? I

7:36

am, and I'm also standing at a water

7:38

fountain. Oh, right. It is a little water

7:41

fountain with a brick wall behind it. I

7:43

get it now. So yeah,

7:46

so before we play some games

7:48

today to determine what

7:50

I would call an ultimate champion, I'd

7:53

like each of you to recommend

7:55

one movie. We'll start with

7:57

you, Kurt. Go. Okay,

8:01

I'm gonna go with there's

8:03

a movie I think it's on Amazon. It's

8:05

the guy by the guy who did he

8:07

wrote American Beauty and he created

8:10

like six feet under in true blood, Alan ball

8:12

but it's called. Uncle Frank.

8:15

Oh my god. I'm so

8:17

happy to hear this because I

8:19

think it's one of the most under appreciated

8:22

and not correctly heralded

8:24

movies. In

8:26

a while I mean I guess part of the

8:28

issue was it came out during the pandemic and

8:31

it went straight to streaming, but I

8:33

think that movie is amazing. Yeah, everybody

8:35

a little bit more about it. Yeah,

8:38

I think it's amazing to it's um, it's the

8:40

girl I think she was in the it movie.

8:43

Yeah, but she's like a teenager and she goes

8:45

to, I think she gets to live with her

8:48

uncle who was like the one person in the family

8:50

that she bonds with and her

8:52

uncle's gay and lives with his husband

8:54

or his partner. And then it

8:56

just kind of like goes from there and you

8:58

find out a lot about her uncle's past and

9:00

stuff and it's like good like coming of age

9:02

movie and really good drama and there's some funny

9:04

stuff in it too. So I really really do.

9:07

I also agree. I think it's one of the best movies of

9:09

the past few years and like nobody knows about it. Yeah,

9:12

I thought when I saw it, I was like, this

9:14

is the best picture contender and Paul bet nice you

9:16

get an award. I

9:18

think Steven root is really good in it.

9:20

Like it's just oh yeah, he's like really

9:22

bad. I forgot about him. Yeah. Oh yeah,

9:24

he's so mean and you know, most of

9:27

his roles and in real life, he's a

9:29

sweetheart. So it's a it's a

9:31

great performance. Have you seen

9:33

that movie, Sam? I have. And

9:36

I wholeheartedly agree with everything. Okay, good.

9:40

Yeah, pause gave me pause like I

9:42

have. I have. I wasn't expecting follow

9:44

up questions. No, it's great. And Steve

9:46

Zahn is great in it. Everybody's great

9:49

in that movie. Yeah, it's

9:51

really a character

9:54

actor dream and it's just

9:56

really good. So, regardless of what

9:58

Mary and Sam recommend. everyone

10:00

listening, find Uncle Frank and watch it. I

10:02

bet you it's still on Prime, because

10:05

that's where it started. And I don't think Prime really

10:07

ditches stuff. They just

10:09

keep it in the collection. Mary,

10:12

what have you got for us? I know that you, it

10:16

seems like every time we talk to you, you're

10:18

binging horror movies. That seems

10:21

to be what I do. I don't

10:23

know why. My boyfriend's real into horror

10:25

movies, and then he always ends up

10:27

falling asleep. So then I have to

10:29

watch them alone. Actually, I wanted to

10:31

ask you, and I'll recommend this weirdo

10:33

movie. Did you ever end up watching

10:35

Mad God? Mad

10:37

God. I told you about

10:39

it the last time we were in Austin

10:42

around. I don't even remember you recommending

10:44

it. So unfortunately, I have not watched it.

10:47

It is probably the most unsettling

10:49

movie I've ever seen. This guy

10:51

did this claymation movie, and it

10:54

took him like 30 years to do

10:56

it. And it's like the only

10:58

thing he's ever released. And it's

11:01

very, very uncomfortable and super weird.

11:03

And I can't

11:05

even really describe it other than like, if

11:07

you're a fan of like, weirdo

11:10

horror sci fi claymation

11:12

with just strange

11:15

scenes and almost no plot, I would

11:17

go ahead and recommend Mad God. It

11:21

sounds, it sounds to me like a

11:23

full length tool video. Kind

11:25

of actually, if they did a claymation one.

11:27

Yes. That's almost exactly what it is. But

11:29

yeah, I agree. It's really awesome. It's

11:32

very weird. And you

11:34

recommended it on the show previously? No,

11:37

we were talking about horror movies in the

11:39

green room after the show. And I recommended

11:41

it to you after the show. Okay, well,

11:43

that's that explains a little better why I

11:45

forgot about it. But it's

11:48

just called Mad God. Mad

11:50

God. Yes. It's so

11:52

it's it is it is I will say probably one

11:54

of the most definitely the

11:56

weirdest and one of the most unsettling movies

11:58

I've ever seen. All

12:01

right. Well, you know, I'm not anxious to

12:03

see it, but I might, uh, I

12:06

might give it a try. Do you know where it's living right

12:08

now? Is it on a streamer? I think it's on

12:10

shutter. Oh, if

12:13

you have that's like, well, I'm not,

12:15

I, as much as I love horror movies,

12:17

because I love movies in general, um,

12:20

I haven't subscribed to, to

12:22

shutter because just

12:24

all horror is not really what I'm

12:26

looking for. Then you know what?

12:28

I'll recommend Wizard of Oz. The

12:34

old double recommend. Well, I'm

12:36

gonna ask you this. What is your, you

12:40

know, cause we see Wizard of Oz over

12:42

and over again, but I bet you anytime

12:44

somebody watches it, they sort of

12:46

learn or see something new that they

12:48

don't remember from seeing it, uh, repeatedly

12:51

in their childhood. Did anything stand out to

12:53

you on your, on this recent viewing? Um,

12:57

honestly, I was rewatching

12:59

it, right? And, uh, like I said,

13:01

my boyfriend's daughter has never seen it.

13:03

And so I'm like paying closer attention.

13:05

And, um, I

13:09

just, I've never picked up on how subtly

13:12

funny it is that like a lot of

13:14

the humor is not directly

13:17

said, but it's in like the way

13:19

that these old thirties and

13:21

forties actors use their bodies and their faces.

13:26

I mean, yeah. So it's

13:28

not that it's like, yeah,

13:30

the script isn't the best written jokes, but the

13:32

way that they do like the physical humor, I

13:34

was like laughing out loud while I was watching

13:36

it. Have

13:39

you ever seen the deleted scene where the

13:41

scarecrow, uh, is singing

13:43

his song, you know, each other's

13:46

song when she meets them, he's

13:48

singing his song and there's like,

13:50

they, they made these like rubbery

13:52

fences that, uh, are

13:54

around the cornfield and bounces off.

13:57

Yes. Yes. So I

13:59

have the two. disc DVD collection

14:02

of Wizard of Oz. And so I have seen

14:04

those, yeah. You've gone deep on

14:06

it. You've seen all the little extras and

14:09

stuff. And

14:12

I didn't mean to use the word little there,

14:15

you know, to be smurch munchkins. We

14:17

all know what you mean. Have

14:19

you ever seen Under the Rainbow

14:21

with Chevy Chase and Carrie

14:23

Fisher? No, I have not. It's

14:27

a movie that, it was an amazing premise that

14:29

the movie's not turned in, turned out that good.

14:32

But it's an amazing premise because it was

14:34

just all about the

14:36

hotel that all the munchkins stayed

14:38

in during production. Now they all

14:41

were super partiers. Like they all

14:43

were just acting crazy the whole

14:45

time. It's a documentary or it's

14:47

like a- No, no, it's

14:49

Chevy Chase and Carrie Fisher. Those

14:52

are both actors that appeared in films

14:55

a long time ago. No,

14:57

I didn't know if they were like doing

14:59

like a documentary type of like reliving. Whatever,

15:05

dude. And

15:08

there's a joke in the movie that I

15:11

always, always like repeat, like when I'm in

15:13

an elevator. I mean, I don't say it

15:15

out loud, but I think of it when

15:17

I'm in an elevator with smaller

15:20

people or children is a bunch

15:22

of people are crowded in the elevator,

15:24

including a bunch of little people. And

15:29

Sam, what's the name of the guy that was one

15:33

of the two Enos brothers in the smoking

15:35

to bandit movies? Oh

15:37

God. The big Enos, what was

15:39

his name? He was a great

15:41

comedian and now I can't think of

15:43

his name. Paul Williams, is he one of

15:46

them? No, Paul Williams was the little one. Oh

15:48

God. And then the big one was that guy

15:50

who was, he was like, he used to write

15:52

for like award shows and tonight's show and

15:54

he was always a really funny guest. And I

15:57

feel sad that I can't think of his name right

15:59

now. but he's in the elevator and

16:02

there's all of these little people

16:04

and you know, it used to be the elevator

16:06

rapper when you got into the elevator, you'd say

16:08

where you're going, you know, which floor and what

16:10

part of the hotel. And

16:12

he gets in and says ballroom and

16:15

all the little people back away from

16:17

him. Ha! Ha

16:19

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

16:22

ha ha. If I come to me, it's like,

16:24

you know, it's one of those things that like during the

16:26

show, I might suddenly think of his name but anyway,

16:31

so watch Mad God and Wizard of Oz on

16:33

a double feature. And

16:36

then thank Mary Centura for the nightmares that

16:38

you're gonna have. Welcome. Cause

16:41

Wizard of Oz is scary too. Dude,

16:43

the flying monkeys are terrifying looking.

16:46

Cause they're people. They're terrifying looking, they could just swoop

16:48

down and grab you no matter what size

16:50

you are. Ugh. Like

16:52

they're strong little monkeys. They're so strong. Yeah.

16:56

Okay, Sam. Yep. I've

16:59

been, you know, really into these

17:02

recommendations. So I'm counting on you. Oh,

17:04

you're gonna love this one. A third good

17:06

one. It's gonna fit right in. Okay.

17:10

The 2011 classic, Cowboys

17:13

and Aliens. Watch.

17:16

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

17:18

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

17:20

ha. Cowboys and Aliens, you heard me Doug. Yeah.

17:23

Wait just a second though. It just came into my

17:25

head. His first name was Pat. Oh

17:28

wow. Okay. Then I was not thinking

17:30

of Pat anybody for. It

17:32

was Pat's, it's Pat somebody. Okay, go ahead.

17:35

Tell me about, tell me about why you

17:38

liked this movie that was trashed

17:40

and people weren't into it at the

17:42

time of its release. Honestly, it's because

17:44

earlier today, a memory came back

17:47

to me and it's a strong one

17:49

and a good one. And it's something I, it probably pops

17:51

up in my brain about once a month. So

17:54

back in 2019, I was at an event

17:56

and I was having. a

18:00

very nice conversation with Olivia

18:02

Wilde and a woman

18:04

who couldn't have

18:07

been more than 60 years old on

18:10

the outside came up to the

18:12

two of us and started chatting and she was

18:14

obviously a big fan of Olivia's and

18:17

so they're having

18:19

a very nice conversation mostly about the event. And then

18:21

at the end of it, this is 2019, the

18:24

woman says to her, you know, oh, you've

18:27

been so sweet and I don't wanna give

18:29

away or anything but I loved you and

18:31

cowboys and aliens. And

18:33

Olivia just said, oh, okay, cool, thanks. And then

18:35

the lady walks away and Olivia

18:37

and I sort of look at each other and she goes, what

18:40

the hell was that? That movie came out in 2011. It

18:45

was eight years ago. What

18:48

does she mean doesn't wanna give away her

18:50

age? Was

18:53

she pretending to be nine? Like

18:56

I don't understand. So

18:59

that's what I was thinking about and that's why

19:01

I wanted to recommend it really just so I

19:03

could tell that story. So

19:07

you really don't think anybody should watch it? Yeah,

19:09

you should probably watch Uncle

19:12

Frank, let's be honest. So

19:17

it's all the cowboys or actors we

19:20

know, but like the aliens when they

19:22

show up, they're like a special effect,

19:24

right? There's no stars playing aliens. No,

19:26

maybe Michael Jackson. Because

19:30

it's Harrison Ford and

19:32

James Bond. Yes, Harrison Ford

19:34

and James Bond, yes, Daniel Craig. It's

19:38

Indiana Jones and James Bond, Fight the Aliens.

19:41

That would have been a smash hit even

19:43

though it's not very good. Right.

19:45

If they'd have just called it that. That's

19:49

where they went wrong. I guess they would

19:51

have been ahead of themselves is

19:53

on calling him James Bond. Because

19:57

he hadn't done a James Bond movie yet. No,

20:00

he'd done a few because it was 2011, so

20:02

he'd already done at least two. He'd

20:04

already made a Quantum of Solace. I

20:08

believe Quantum of Solace had come out by

20:10

then. Yes. Yeah. I love that Daniel Craig

20:12

was a beloved that James Bond when he's

20:15

in one of the worst James Bond movies

20:17

ever made. Quantum of Solace, the

20:19

title is not that's not. I

20:22

mean, it's bad enough. But

20:24

then the movie itself is

20:26

so goddamn weird. Yeah, the

20:28

villain in that movie has to drink

20:30

a can of motor oil in the

20:32

middle of the desert. Like, what is happening?

20:35

Well, we don't see it. We just

20:37

we learn that he drank it later because.

20:42

But why? Why would that happen in a

20:45

James Bond? OK, anyway, so

20:48

I mean, it makes it easier

20:50

for the listeners to just go watch Uncle Frank

20:52

or Mad God or Wizard of Oz because

20:56

you gave them this nonsense movie. But also,

20:58

if Olivia Wilde is

21:01

listening, you

21:05

know, at least we've got we've got that going for us. Yeah,

21:07

I'm sure someone will bring this to our attention. All

21:14

right. Thanks for your recs. We got to do a break so I

21:16

can rest my voice. We'll be right back. OK,

21:20

picture this. It's Friday afternoon when a thought hits you.

21:26

I can spend another weekend doing the same old whatever, or

21:29

I can hop into my all new Hyundai Santa Fe and hit

21:31

the road. With available

21:33

H-track all wheel drive and three row seating, my whole family can

21:35

head deep into the wild, conquer

21:37

21:39

Fe. Visit

21:42

Hyundai usa.com or call 562-314-460 for details.

21:46

Hyundai, there's joy in every journey.

21:48

OK, picture this. It's Friday afternoon when

21:50

a thought hits you. I

21:53

can spend another weekend doing the same old whatever, or

21:55

I can hop into my all new Hyundai Santa Fe

21:57

and hit the road. Hyundai

22:00

Santa Fe and hit the road. With

22:03

available H-track all-wheel drive and three-row seating,

22:05

my whole family can head deep into

22:07

22:09

all-new Hyundai Santa Fe. Visit

22:16

more details. Hyundai, there's joy

22:18

in every journey. We

22:20

are back. I gargled the Salisterine and I

22:22

don't know if you can hear it but I think

22:25

I'm like at least 10% better.

22:27

I'd say 30. Oh okay, thank

22:31

you. Our first of

22:33

two games today is something I

22:35

call so-and-so and

22:38

the something something.

22:41

Have you played this before Sam?

22:43

I don't think so maybe I don't know it's

22:45

just gonna make me laugh every time then I

22:47

guess. Yeah,

22:50

Fert's probably familiar with it. Mary

22:53

probably doesn't know what I'm

22:55

talking about. Here's all this game

22:57

works Mary. There's movies out there, many of

23:01

them, all the Harry Potter's and

23:03

then others like Willy Wonka

23:05

and the Chocolate Factory where it's

23:07

the name of one of the main characters of

23:09

the film and then something

23:11

more about them or you know

23:14

what's gonna happen in the movie.

23:16

So what I've done is taken

23:19

classic movies. All

23:22

right, take it back. I've taken movies

23:24

that exist and I've... The

23:29

way their classics are not as for you to

23:31

decide but I've taken these movies and

23:34

I've given them a new

23:36

title which is the name of one of

23:38

the lead characters and then

23:40

something else about

23:42

the movie that hopefully sounds

23:45

kind of like a catchy

23:47

title that would exist.

23:49

I mean one of my favorite ones of

23:52

all time was there's a movie starring Alan

23:54

Arkin and Carol Burnett called Choo

23:56

Choo and the Philly Flash which

23:59

is actually Inside

26:00

Man, nobody thought it

26:02

was you. They were very sexist about

26:04

it. Thought that the male guests on

26:07

the show would recommend that Clive Owens,

26:09

Spike Lee, joined about

26:11

a robbery. But

26:14

Oceans, which Oceans did you say?

26:17

11, I thought the old man's name was Sunny. Oh,

26:21

okay. Maybe it was. Maybe

26:24

you're kind of right. But

26:26

that's not what I'm looking for. Sam, what am

26:28

I looking for? I think you're looking for Dog

26:30

Day Afternoon. That is correct. Al

26:35

Pacino as Sunny, in

26:37

my mind, one of

26:39

the greatest movies. It's just so good. It's so

26:42

tense. And it's way ahead of its

26:44

time because he's married to a

26:46

trans person in the film, played

26:49

by Chris Sarandon. And

26:51

there's a lot of sensitivity in

26:54

regards to that relationship. But

26:57

it's a robbery that ends up with

27:00

hostages and all

27:02

that kind of business. Any movie

27:04

that's about a robbery and a hostage, I feel

27:06

is like inspired by,

27:08

or certainly they take notes

27:10

from Dog Day Afternoon. In

27:13

real life, hostage situations.

27:17

Every great that movie all the time. Sam's

27:20

on the board at one point, but

27:22

Kurt is up next. Charles

27:26

Foster Kane and his stupid

27:29

sled. Oh,

27:35

Citizen Kane. That is

27:37

correct. What a dick. Hey,

27:41

I don't know who's going to get the easy ones.

27:43

What a man. This

27:46

happens. Sure. This

27:49

one's not so easy, Mary. Perfect. Yeah.

27:54

I apologize. Susan

27:57

Harris and the Randy

27:59

Robot. Susan

28:03

Harris and the Randy Robot. Man,

28:07

I don't know

28:10

any of those words. I'm

28:17

gonna say the Terminator. The

28:24

Terminator? No,

28:26

but you know what? You get Doug points.

28:30

That's where I appreciate you

28:33

for guessing the name of a film that

28:35

has a robot in it. That's

28:37

all I can do. I don't

28:39

know how Randy he is, but the

28:42

Terminator is definitely a robot. Sam?

28:48

I'm sure this isn't right, but I know

28:50

somebody does sleep with a robot

28:53

and bicentennial, man. They do,

28:55

right? Yeah. And Beth

28:57

Davids. Maybe your character's name is

28:59

Susan. I don't remember. But it's

29:01

possible that he was certainly a Randy

29:03

Robot. They make tender love

29:05

to each other. Yeah,

29:09

it's Robin Williams is a robot,

29:11

right? Yes. He's bicentennial,

29:14

man. Yeah. And

29:17

while they're having sex, he just keeps screaming,

29:19

oil can, oil can. Oil

29:24

can what? Yeah. That

29:28

was in practice, Sam. But

29:30

another terrific guess. I like when people come

29:32

to play and make an effort. And

29:36

Kurt, do you have any idea what this is? I'm gonna be honest

29:38

with you. I'd be shocked if

29:40

anybody figured this one out. For

29:43

some reason, the only thing I could think

29:45

of is that weird movie with Andy Kaufman

29:47

where he plays a robot heartbeat, heartbeaps. It

29:51

feels like all the greats can play the robot at

29:53

some point. They're

29:56

like, I'm tired of human emotions. I want to play

29:58

a robot who tries to. human emotions.

30:03

And but that is also incorrect,

30:06

unfortunately. This

30:08

movie is one of the weirdest

30:10

things that came out of the

30:12

70s cinema where anything that seemed

30:14

like anything could happen in a

30:16

movie more so than

30:19

any time in history. It's a

30:21

film called Demon Seed. Now,

30:24

whoa. Okay. And in that movie, very

30:26

famous at the time, popular actresses

30:28

tricked people into coming to the

30:30

theaters. Julie Christie

30:33

is a woman who is

30:35

impregnated by a machine. Nice.

30:39

Yeah. And it's not consensual either.

30:42

I'll tell you that. Oh, God.

30:44

And he gave her the nuts and bolts, huh? Yeah.

30:49

It is the weirdest freaking movie.

30:51

Bold Singular, Mary. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

30:55

It's a really creepy, weird ass

30:57

movie. And I don't

30:59

know if it's probably on Tubi or Pluto or

31:01

something. If anybody wants to check

31:03

it out. If anybody doesn't believe me, just

31:06

look it up in like a movie review

31:08

book. Leonard gave it five and a half

31:10

stars. He loved it so much. You

31:15

say it was the perfect length. Yeah.

31:18

Yeah. It's a tight two

31:21

hours probably. Because back

31:24

in the 70s, maybe like a big war movie, or

31:29

like any kind of thing that

31:31

was epic or had a big cast would maybe be

31:33

like three hours long. But

31:36

most movies were pretty decent about two

31:38

or under, unless

31:41

it was like Lawrence of Arabia or

31:43

something. Okay. So who

31:46

had the last guess on that,

31:48

Kurt? Yeah.

31:51

He also got the last one correct. So

31:53

it should start with Mary again, I think. Yeah.

31:56

Let's do Mary again, but not

31:58

like that robot. The rope. Yeah. As

32:03

soon as I was saying, I was like, this is not a

32:05

proper way to say this. OK. Mary.

32:08

Yes. You're

32:11

going to get this one. OK. I

32:13

feel I feel strong. OK. That

32:16

you got you get locked out and landed on an easy

32:18

one, in my opinion. Elliot

32:22

Taylor and the long distance call.

32:26

Elliot Taylor and the long

32:28

distance call. Phone

32:30

booth. That

32:34

is another amazing. God. Because

32:41

Keith, there's someone calling from like right across

32:43

the street. Yep. But he's on the phone

32:45

for a long time. Yes,

32:49

the distance is time. The distance

32:51

and time is long. The third

32:53

dimension. Yes. The whole. He's

32:56

on the phone for like nine miles. Yeah. It's

32:58

a very long time. The

33:01

whole goddamn movie. Yeah. Sam,

33:04

what is it? Full title, E.T. The

33:06

Extra Terrestrial. Oh, yeah. That is. Come

33:08

on. Yeah. Unbelievable. Nice.

33:11

I'll tell you, I bet you I

33:13

bet you I failed you by actually

33:16

researching because I don't think they

33:18

say his last name that much in the movie, if

33:21

ever. Maybe their mailbox says The

33:23

Tailors or something. I don't know where anybody

33:25

figured this out from. Might even just be

33:27

in the novelization. But but if I just

33:30

said Elliott and the long distance call, it

33:32

probably would have made it more

33:34

obvious. But but

33:36

I still I'm still enjoying your guests. Well,

33:39

I'm going to make a best guessers Hall of

33:41

Fame and put you in there. You

33:44

know, I'm I'm so bad at this game.

33:48

But you've had an answer every time. And

33:51

the answers have not been that far off.

33:55

There's so many people play this game and go, I don't

33:57

know what you're talking about, Doug. I'm going to I want

33:59

to leave. I have context clues.

34:02

Yeah, exactly. That's what we're going

34:04

for. Okay,

34:06

so Kurt's up next. And

34:10

I'm not gonna say ahead of time if

34:12

I think it's easier or hard because that's

34:14

probably extra clues. All

34:18

the treaties and the spice world.

34:22

Dune. Yeah,

34:24

I also would have accepted Dune too.

34:26

No, she's a Dune. And

34:31

they won't shut up about the spice in

34:33

any Dune movie. It's

34:36

all about the spice. Okay, so

34:38

Kurt's got

34:41

two. We're back

34:43

to you, Mary. I hope this

34:45

one rings some bells for you.

34:47

Something, come on. Sophie

34:51

and her slutty mommy. Sophie

34:56

and her slutty mommy. Yeah,

35:00

it's not a horror

35:02

movie. Okay, I only

35:04

know one movie with someone

35:06

named Sophie and it's Sophie's Choice. Is

35:10

that not it? Sophie's

35:12

mother and Sophie's Choice was a slut. I've

35:15

never seen it. Also,

35:19

I'm not into slut shaming. I'm just

35:21

into that it's funny to

35:23

call this movie about a slut when you find out

35:26

what we're talking about. Sam, do you

35:28

think you know it? I

35:32

mean, obviously I also thought it might be

35:35

Sophie's Choice but then it can't be. Sophie was

35:37

not the name of the child. Yeah,

35:42

we never meet Sophie's mother and Sophie's Choice,

35:44

right? No, I

35:46

think we see them in flashbacks but I don't think we spend

35:49

any real time with them. Okay. Is

35:53

it Mama Mia? Yes. Oh,

35:55

that's a good, damn it. For

36:01

anybody who's avoided Baba Mia because

36:03

it's musical

36:05

and probably doesn't appeal to a lot

36:07

of dudes. In

36:11

the film, Meryl Streep has

36:14

relations with three different dudes so close

36:16

together that she has no idea which

36:19

one's the father of her baby and

36:21

also does not feel interested in pursuing

36:23

any kind of results. She just lets it go. Like

36:26

I'm just going to have this kid on my own and

36:29

the three guys don't need to know about it. And

36:31

then when Sophie's about to

36:34

get married she finds her mother's

36:36

diary, reads it, like what's up

36:38

with that? Reading someone's diary and

36:41

then decides to track

36:43

down all three guys and invite them all

36:45

to the wedding and chaos ensues. But

36:47

so much singing and dancing too. Yeah,

36:50

well so much Pierce Brosnan singing which is,

36:52

that's the reason not to watch. But

36:58

anyway, congratulations Sam, you won that

37:00

game. We're going to have to

37:02

get to the tiebreaker which was Fred

37:04

and his modern Stone Age family.

37:06

Oh god. Is it Freddy got

37:08

fingered? Obviously that was

37:11

the catch in the movie. It

37:17

always cracks me

37:19

up that the theme song

37:21

for the Flintstones that they call them a modern

37:23

Stone Age family. And I feel like it's just

37:25

their way of saying that they

37:28

had more money than any, like

37:30

they were affluent Stone Age people. Because

37:34

they could afford a lot of appliances around

37:36

the house that were animals that had to

37:38

do the job as a

37:40

full time job just being like the needle on

37:42

a phonograph record or something. And

37:47

then they'd go, it's a living. Like

37:49

oh, the Flintstones pay you to

37:51

put your beak on the records so they can

37:53

hear it. They had a

37:55

lot of slave labor around the house, let's be honest. Yeah,

37:58

animals, slave labors. But at

38:00

least they're getting paid something, I guess. I

38:03

don't think they'd say it's a living if they didn't get

38:06

anything out of it. But also this reminds

38:08

me that in the

38:10

Jetsons, someone

38:15

recently told me that the

38:17

backstory in the Jetsons is

38:19

that when they first met, Joe

38:23

Jetson and Mary Jetson, I don't

38:25

know if that's their names. But

38:28

when they first met, he was 23 and she was 16. Oh

38:32

my. Yeah. In

38:35

the future. In the future, Doug,

38:37

age really is just nothing but a number. Yeah,

38:40

it really is. Because they-

38:42

All right, so what? I was

38:44

just gonna say maybe they also measured time

38:46

in distance and

38:48

the years didn't matter. That's

38:52

it, exactly. He was light years ahead

38:54

of him in maturity. Well,

38:56

the distance between this game and the next

38:59

game should only be a few minutes. We'll

39:01

be right back. Okay,

are back and Sam

39:47

took down game one but

39:50

it was competitive and

39:52

fun and everything I

39:55

like about doing this show but

39:58

what we're gonna play now is something. Sam

40:00

Levine does not like about this show. It's

40:03

a game called Weird Algorithm. No.

40:07

No. No. I'm

40:10

not playing it just because you're

40:12

here, Sam. And I'm

40:14

playing it because I think it's a fun

40:16

game that

40:19

your genius movie

40:21

trivia skills might not be enough

40:25

to win this thing. So we're

40:27

gonna start with Sam. Then we'll

40:30

go to Mary, then we'll go to Kurt. But each

40:32

round, we'll start

40:34

with a different person. And here's how

40:36

Weird Algorithm works. I

40:39

go to the IMDB website,

40:44

and I type in the name of a

40:46

movie. And then you

40:48

can change the cast order of

40:51

the listing of the movie from

40:53

their genuine order that they

40:56

were credited in. You can change it to the

40:59

popularity algorithm on

41:01

IMDB to determine the

41:04

order of the people. So

41:06

I will name the movie, and

41:10

then I go to Sam first and I'll say,

41:12

who do you think is the top person

41:16

on IMDB today, popularity-wise,

41:19

that was in this film? I

41:21

will also name the top

41:23

two actual build people in the

41:26

film, but those two

41:28

people aren't necessarily popular

41:30

today, or popular enough to be in the

41:33

top three. Once Sam's

41:35

made his guess, we'll go

41:37

to Mary. You can have the same answer

41:39

as Sam as you want, or you could guess somebody

41:41

else. It's up to you. Then

41:43

we go to Kurt, same thing. You could

41:45

share an answer, but strategically at some point,

41:48

somebody needs to say a different answer, but that's

41:51

up to you. If it's a tie at

41:53

the end, I have a tiebreaker ready to go. But

41:56

there's usually disagreements on who they think is

41:58

gonna be top build. Plus also

42:02

the top-yield person is quite

42:04

often something out of left field, somebody

42:06

you may not even have known was

42:08

in that particular movie. So that's certainly

42:12

something to think about. If you get the number

42:14

one person, it's worth three points. Number two is

42:16

worth two points. And number three is worth one.

42:19

And we're going to play three rounds. And like

42:21

I said, a different person will go first each

42:23

time and you don't have to have your own

42:25

answer. You can share an answer with somebody else.

42:28

You ready, Sam? I guess so. Okay.

42:33

We're doing the OG, the first

42:36

Hunger Games motion picture, The

42:38

Hunger Games, starring J-Law

42:40

and Jaa H. Josh

42:43

Hutchinson. Who do you

42:46

think Sam from that big cast? A

42:49

lot of people in that movie, who do you think would

42:51

finish number one or at least in the top three

42:54

by popularity today? All

42:58

right. I

43:02

am going to

43:04

say, because

43:06

we've talked about how IMDB

43:08

works. So I

43:11

am going to take

43:13

a, it's probably

43:15

a long shot guess, but I

43:17

will say Donald Sutherland. Recently

43:21

deceased, recently great actor, Donald

43:23

Sutherland plays President Snow. So

43:27

in the Hunger Games, that's

43:29

who you think's number one because of

43:31

the attention his passing has brought. I

43:34

mean, I will say I know women

43:36

always, no matter what, tend to do

43:38

better on IMDB. So it's

43:41

probably going to be J-Law,

43:44

but I'll, I will

43:46

roll the dice. Mary?

43:50

I was actually going to say the same thing

43:52

because there has been so much buzz around him

43:55

because he just died. And

43:58

such, such a great actor. Yes. Working

44:02

all the way till the end, like he looked

44:04

at his IMDB and he's got, you

44:07

know, credits that, you know, I

44:09

think he's even got stuff that hasn't come

44:11

out yet. Kurt,

44:14

do you agree with Mary and Sam or do you want

44:16

to say somebody else? I

44:19

think I'm going to do, I'll do

44:21

Jennifer Lawrence just to initiate that recent

44:23

romantic comedy. It's pretty popular. I

44:26

can't remember the title, but no hard feelings. I think

44:28

it was the title. Yeah. Yeah.

44:30

Yeah. They had to give it, I guess,

44:33

a generic title because no hard

44:35

feelings that you can't remember the title. Yeah,

44:37

they couldn't. They couldn't call it Naked Beach

44:39

Fight. Yeah. Oh

44:41

my God, it would have done so much

44:43

better if they'd called it Naked Beach Fight

44:45

starring Jennifer Lawrence. Yeah. Would have sold a

44:47

few more tickets, I think. But

44:52

I wish, I hope that all

44:54

of Hollywood is,

44:56

you know, recognizing that she is really

44:58

good in that movie. She's great.

45:01

I think she's a great

45:03

actress, but it's so we've seen so many

45:05

movies where she just has to play somebody

45:07

that's just shit on and down drawn and

45:09

trying to, you know, succeed and very dramatic

45:12

and, you know, things like mother,

45:15

but. Thank

45:17

you for including the exclamation point. I was. I tried

45:19

to even though my voice was shot. Okay.

45:24

And so that's the only thing about this game is

45:26

I go back and give everybody a chance to change.

45:29

Sam, are you sticking with Donald Sutherland? I guess. Mary,

45:33

you two? Yeah. And

45:35

Kurt, you still like J-Law? Yeah,

45:38

I'll stick with that. All

45:40

right. Well, I'll start with the bad news.

45:44

Jennifer Lawrence managed to come in fourth,

45:46

so it's not worth any points. Wow.

45:49

Yeah, it's interesting who did

45:52

finish in the top three because number three,

45:55

don't even remember he was in it. Jack Quaid. I

45:58

don't even know who that is. Dennis

46:00

Quaid's brother. Son. Ha

46:02

ha ha ha ha ha. You're

46:05

thinking of Randy. Yeah, Randy Quaid.

46:09

Randy got Randy with a

46:11

woman and he's a robot.

46:13

No, Jack

46:16

Quaid is not only Dennis Quaid's son, but

46:21

also the star

46:23

of very popular series called The Boys. Hmm.

46:27

Yeah, which I would think

46:29

maybe you'd like. You haven't checked out The Boys,

46:31

Mary? I'll have to check it

46:33

out. Yeah, I mean, it's a

46:36

very violent superhero show. Oh, perfect.

46:38

Yeah, it gets

46:40

pretty nasty. I like to have trouble

46:42

watching it, because it's so rough. Coming

46:47

in at number two, interesting development.

46:51

Actress by the name, Amanda

46:53

Stenberg. Who

46:56

is shot to the top

46:59

of the popularity charts on IMDB because

47:01

she has currently played Rue on the

47:03

series, the Star Wars series, Acolyte. Which

47:08

people are into, I guess. And

47:12

then number one, we're three points. Of course, it's

47:14

Donald Sutherland. Yay, we

47:16

did it. We are both on the board

47:18

with three points each for Kurt. And

47:21

still anybody's game. And

47:24

Mary gets to go first on this next

47:26

one. Hey. The film

47:28

that I enjoy quite a bit, did

47:32

well at the box office and at the

47:35

awards, a film called

47:37

Hidden Figures, starring

47:39

Tajari P. Henson and

47:42

Octavia Spencer. So you

47:44

could take one of those. Sounds like you're not

47:46

familiar with it, Mary. No, the

47:49

fact that you gave us two names are the only two

47:51

names I know in this film. So

47:54

I'm gonna go with, I'm

47:56

trying to think of who's been more relevant out of the two.

48:00

recently. Yeah. Um,

48:06

I'll go with Tijari P. Henson. Taraji.

48:08

I'm sorry. Okay. Taraji.

48:10

Yeah. Uh,

48:15

Kurt, what do you think? Yeah,

48:18

I can't remember who else in that movie. Um,

48:21

I guess I'll go with, I'll

48:24

do Octavia Spencer. Change

48:27

it up a little. I like it. Sam,

48:29

can you think of anybody else in

48:31

that movie that might, uh, today be

48:34

more popular than those two great actresses?

48:36

I can, but only because he is a

48:38

new movie coming out. So

48:40

I'm going to say Kevin Costner. Oh,

48:44

nice. Yeah. Kevin Costner is

48:48

in a film. I think he even is the one that says

48:50

this is ridiculous that these amazing

48:52

black women who are figuring out how we

48:55

can go into space through their math abilities

48:57

should also not have to walk a mile

48:59

to go to a bathroom. So

49:03

he's, he's, he's, I'd say more of a hero in

49:05

that movie than in the movies where he thinks he's

49:07

a big hero. Um,

49:09

all right. Uh, okay.

49:12

So, uh, Mary, what do you think about

49:14

that piece of information? Do you think Kevin

49:16

Costner is more popular right now than either

49:18

of those two actresses? No,

49:22

I'm going to stick with it. Taraji. Okay.

49:25

Kurt, how about you? Actually?

49:27

Yeah. I'll go. I forgot about the horizon movie

49:29

coming out. Um, or even that he was in

49:31

this, so I'll do Kevin Costner. Okay.

49:35

Uh, Sam, you're good with Kevin Costner. I

49:37

guess so. Okay. So we got

49:40

two Kevins, one

49:42

Taraji, and, um,

49:45

this is a tragedy. To

49:49

me, uh, cause Taraji

49:51

and Octavia finished sixth and seventh

49:55

on the list. Unfortunately,

49:57

but three,

50:00

it's kind of

50:03

wild that the top three are all white

50:05

people in this movie that celebrated a black

50:07

achievement. But number

50:09

three is Kirsten Dunst. Who's

50:13

always great. So I you know can't be too

50:15

mad about it. But

50:17

in fact, number two is Kevin

50:19

Costner. So that

50:21

gives hurt two more points and Sam

50:24

two more points. It's not

50:26

a two more. And then I

50:28

just have to add that this

50:30

just in Horizon Part One that Kevin

50:32

Costner has decided to walk

50:34

away from

50:37

the smash hit Yellowstone. It's the

50:39

most popular show on

50:42

streaming. I think he walked away

50:44

from that to make these Horizon

50:46

movies. This is only part one

50:49

and the the people that write

50:51

about movies are already calling it a

50:53

bomb because it only made

50:55

eleven million dollars on it on this

50:57

weekend. Opening weekend.

51:00

Yeah. How

51:03

can you live? It's just an instant. We're writing it off. This

51:06

is a failure is is

51:08

wild to me because you know like

51:10

a movie like something about Mary, you

51:13

know, when it came out, did that kind

51:16

of money the first couple of weekends and then word of mouth

51:19

made it one of the biggest smash hits ever.

51:21

So I guess we're

51:23

just not in that world anymore. And movies

51:25

just are called flops very

51:28

quickly. So yeah, so

51:30

he was number two. Number one

51:34

currently being watched by a lot of eyeballs on Netflix

51:38

because he's the star of hit man Glenn Powell. Oh,

51:42

Glenn. Glenn

51:45

Powell. Yeah, he

51:47

played he played the Glenn in the movie.

51:49

That's probably why he was hired. John

51:55

Glenn Powell, they called him. Yeah. If they didn't call him

51:58

out on the set, they're just. Okay,

52:02

so Sam has five, Mary has three,

52:05

and Kurt has two, and we're going

52:07

into our third and most important round,

52:09

because it's still anybody's game,

52:12

or anybody could tie it up

52:14

at this point. So Kurt, you're

52:16

gonna go first. I

52:20

haven't watched it, because it sounds

52:23

really lame. There's a documentary called

52:25

Bratz about the Brat Pack

52:28

that just came out. So

52:30

in honor of that documentary, I

52:33

picked the movie St. Elmos Fire,

52:36

starring Rob Lowe, Emilio Ecevez, and

52:39

a bunch of the Packers. So

52:42

Kurt, which person

52:45

in that movie do you think would

52:47

be number one? Well,

52:50

I know the guy that made Bratz, I

52:52

think he's in St. Elmos Fire, Andrew McCarthy.

52:56

He is in fact in the movie. Yeah. Yeah,

52:58

I'm gonna go with that. I'm gonna

53:00

go with Andrew McCarthy. Okay. Sam,

53:04

what do you think? I

53:06

would have leaned the exact same way

53:09

because of the recency of Bratz. So

53:11

I will, I will also say Andrew

53:13

McCarthy. Okay. Mary?

53:16

I want to switch it up just to be different. But

53:20

I also don't know anything. Like I want

53:26

to say Rob Lowe because he's hot. Well,

53:30

let me tell you this about Rob Lowe. He

53:32

is currently hosting one of my favorite TV game

53:34

shows. Because

53:37

he hosts this show called The Floor that

53:39

I just love. It's so it's the basic

53:42

premise of it is so stupid,

53:44

but it's very watchable and fun to play

53:47

along. Because there's this floor of like a

53:49

bunch of people. I think it

53:52

was 80 in the first season, I got to make it 100

53:54

this season. And this new season is about

53:56

to come out. And all these people

53:58

on the floor, they each come with their own trivia.

54:00

via category and the idea is

54:02

to challenge each other until it narrows

54:04

it down to just one person who's

54:06

like the winner at the end of

54:08

the season. But in the challenges, it's

54:10

always like, the person says their subject

54:12

is movies. They'll go, Academy

54:14

Award best pictures. And

54:17

then the two people have to go back and

54:19

forth naming movies just based

54:21

on an image from the movie. And

54:24

so of course they'll throw in some that are super

54:26

hard and it's just

54:28

really fun to watch, you know,

54:30

cause a lot of times the person is not

54:32

an expert in a topic will still beat the

54:34

person who's a so-called expert. That's also cause people

54:36

think they're experts in things that they don't really

54:39

know that well. Anyway,

54:41

it's a fun show. Rob Lowe

54:43

hosts it in his inimitable, very

54:45

stiff style. And... Not

54:51

sponsored. Yeah, so is Rob

54:53

Lowe your guest Mary? Um,

54:56

yep. Okay. Kurt,

55:00

what do you think? Oh wait,

55:02

you already went. So do you want

55:04

to stick with Andrew McCarthy? Yeah.

55:07

Or was my description of the floor exciting

55:11

enough to make you change your mind? It

55:13

was exciting, but I'll stick with Andrew McCarthy.

55:16

Okay, and Sam? I

55:18

will stick with Andrew McCarthy. Okay.

55:21

Um, you know, Mary, you've

55:25

done a great job here today. Of

55:28

course. Yes. I'm

55:31

proud of you. No, you're not. But

55:34

out of all the goddamn brats that are in

55:36

St. Elbow's fire, Rob Lowe came in

55:38

sixth place. Oh wow. Damn. That's

55:41

funny. I thought he'd be on the list, man, in top three.

55:43

Yeah, I mean, especially, you know, I mean,

55:45

he's just out there, you know, we see

55:48

him, he's in those Atkins TV commercials all

55:50

the time. And all

55:52

of his food is prepared by a

55:54

professor. Get out of here. Yeah. No,

55:57

he just sits there and he's just like, oh, the

55:59

lemon batter. cake is to die

56:01

for. Yeah. Yeah, shut up. Okay.

56:03

He hasn't eaten a processed food

56:06

in 25 years. That's

56:08

my guess as well. Demi

56:12

Moore came in number five. Number

56:15

four was Emilia West of

56:17

as number three

56:20

is Ali Sheedy. Number

56:24

two is Judd Nelson. Yeah. And

56:27

I think because he's

56:30

actually in Bratz like that's or yeah,

56:33

I think no, he's one of the ones that's not in

56:35

it. That's probably why people are looking up his name,

56:37

because they don't talk to him in that movie. I

56:40

don't think no, they don't. I've seen it. Yeah,

56:43

they talked to all these other people.

56:45

And then of course, yeah, the Bratz

56:47

was directed by Andrew McCarthy. So you

56:49

guys, Kurt and Sam both filed into

56:51

that correctly. But unfortunately, three points at

56:53

this point is not enough for Kurt

56:56

to win. Sam is our

56:58

winner today with a

57:00

point. Congratulations, Sam.

57:05

And let me just add this about

57:09

the Bratz documentary. I have not seen

57:11

it. But what I did do was

57:13

go back and read the initial article

57:15

about the Bratz. And Andrew

57:18

McCarthy made this movie as like,

57:20

I hate being called a brat packer. In the

57:23

article, he's not even cited as

57:25

being a brat packer. And he's

57:27

only mentioned like parenthetically, right at

57:30

one point, as being someone who wasn't really

57:32

a brat packer, because he lived in New

57:34

York at the time. So he didn't really

57:36

run with all those people anyway. Right. And

57:39

somehow he's the most upset and had to

57:41

make a documentary where he stands around in

57:43

the kitchen with Amelia West about whining about

57:45

it. I have seen the doc,

57:47

if you want to talk about it. Well,

57:49

I don't have a lot of time, but I agree with

57:51

that assessment, even though I haven't seen it. It's

57:55

loosely, it's it

57:57

started in the article, but then the phrase grew

58:01

exponentially from the article and then it

58:03

started to apply to him and

58:06

a bunch of other actors. Yeah,

58:08

but it was a vague application. Cause like,

58:11

I never called like, you know, the

58:13

outsiders, you know, you can argue that

58:16

they were all brat packers, but I never

58:18

feel like Ralph Macchio or Tom Cruise or

58:20

Patrick Shwazy ever really got painted with that

58:22

brush as much as Emilio and Rob did.

58:25

It mostly seems like it's about St.

58:27

Elmo's fire, which is why it's kind

58:29

of funny that Andrew McCarthy kind

58:32

of got dragged into it, but also wasn't really a

58:34

member of it, you

58:36

know, at the same time. But did

58:39

you think the movie's worth watching, Bratz? If

58:41

you're really a big fan of

58:43

those movies from that era, it's

58:46

worth it. Otherwise, I mean,

58:49

you know, I wish the

58:51

content of what they had discussed

58:53

when he meets up with all the old actors was a

58:56

little different. The best part of

58:58

the movie to me is when he sits down with Malcolm

59:00

Gladwell, McCarthy, and

59:02

they talk about, you know, that

59:05

era, what that meant at large, what

59:07

it meant in the bigger picture. And

59:09

that's what I wish the doc had

59:11

been more about. So I don't know,

59:13

I guess it's a fun watch if you're a fan

59:15

of the films of the era. Yeah,

59:19

and there's a lot of people, you know, that

59:21

are jumping on the outcome Anthony Michael Hall is

59:23

an in it bandwagon. But

59:25

he was just actually a

59:27

teenager. Like he was younger

59:30

than everybody else. And

59:32

so also didn't really get broken

59:35

as being a Brac Packer specifically.

59:38

And not only is he not in

59:40

the movie, they literally never even say

59:42

his name. They show images. Yeah, yeah.

59:45

But at that point, is it a name image?

59:47

It sounds like a weird doc in terms of

59:49

what they overlook and what they put in. But

59:53

Sam, there's no overlooking you. As

59:58

an ongoing, you're gonna continue. continue to be

1:00:00

a champion. But what would

1:00:02

you like to promote today? Well,

1:00:05

you know, of course,

1:00:07

Doug, you can find me on Cameo. And

1:00:12

that movie I did where

1:00:14

I play the evil human

1:00:17

trafficking businessman, it's

1:00:19

called City of Dreams. And

1:00:22

apparently it's coming out this summer, but

1:00:24

they haven't told me anything. I learned

1:00:27

that from seeing a movie poster. Okay,

1:00:32

yeah, sometimes they don't reach

1:00:34

out to the people in the movie, which is a strange play,

1:00:37

but I guess

1:00:39

it happens. And we'll have you back

1:00:41

on the show soon. Mary

1:00:43

Santora, what would you like to plug? Oh,

1:00:46

you can just follow me on

1:00:48

social media. It's just at Mary

1:00:50

Santora Comedy on TikTok, Instagram, or

1:00:52

Facebook. All of my upcoming

1:00:54

tour dates are at marysantora.com. And then you can

1:00:56

also, if you want, sign up for my mailing

1:00:58

list. That way I can send out, I

1:01:00

send out two emails. One when tickets go

1:01:02

on sale for the road, and then the

1:01:04

week of the show in your area. So

1:01:07

it's super simple. You just put like your

1:01:09

name, your location, and your email

1:01:11

address. And then I, hey, I'm coming to your

1:01:13

town. And it's totally free and I

1:01:15

don't spam you. So that'll help me out a

1:01:17

lot if you wanna do that. That's

1:01:19

genius. That's a really good way to do it. Cause

1:01:21

I, every time I go to a town, like the

1:01:23

next day, somebody's like, I didn't know you were coming.

1:01:25

And I was like, well, I talk

1:01:27

about it a lot on all my

1:01:30

things, but I don't email anybody. So maybe I

1:01:32

should get on that. But

1:01:35

thank you. It's time consuming, but it is, it

1:01:38

has been working. I will say that. So if you wanna sign up

1:01:40

for that. Cool. Kurt

1:01:44

Ziegler, do you got any ex girlfriends you want

1:01:46

to mention or, you know? Well.

1:01:49

Anything you wanna. What

1:01:53

if he just started crying? He's like, Sarah. Well,

1:01:56

actually this girl. after

1:02:00

the show of Megubi's, this girl came up

1:02:02

to me after and it's

1:02:04

been a while since I've been single and I think she

1:02:06

was flirting with me and I totally just whiffed it and

1:02:09

I just kept, I was like, oh yeah, when is she

1:02:11

gonna leave me alone? Then she finally walked away and drove

1:02:13

off alone in her car and then afterwards, I was like,

1:02:15

I think that girl was flirting with me. I guess I

1:02:17

should have capitalized

1:02:19

on that but I didn't realize it was

1:02:21

happening in the moment because you know, I'm

1:02:23

rusty. So if she's out there,

1:02:25

hey, reach out to Doug for my email address.

1:02:28

Wow, this connection is a DM. Look at

1:02:31

this guy. We're doing it wrong, Sam. I

1:02:35

mean, I'm married, but I feel like I

1:02:37

should have, I've been doing the

1:02:39

podcast for years. I should have taken more advantage. Yeah,

1:02:42

well, if anybody, any woman reaches out

1:02:45

to me and says, I'm the one

1:02:47

that talked to Kurt at

1:02:50

Megubi's, I will give her

1:02:52

your email address and apologies

1:02:54

in advance if some psycho

1:02:57

responds. Oh,

1:02:59

one other thing, one other plug. I

1:03:02

was actually, this is a big one. I was a

1:03:04

rapper in high school. So if you wanna look up

1:03:06

my music video, I went by MC Chode

1:03:08

and my song is called On Da Mike and

1:03:10

it's, you'll get a big laugh out of it.

1:03:12

No. Look at all this great. No.

1:03:17

I'll get a big laugh at it without bothering

1:03:19

to look at it. This

1:03:23

Tuesday, Doug loves movies. Oh wait, that's

1:03:25

the movie interruption. I mixed up my

1:03:27

own shows. I'm doing a

1:03:30

Benson movie interruption, a Dicey typewriter Tuesday

1:03:32

at 7.30 and

1:03:35

with a terrific special guest and it's your

1:03:37

choice. You bring in a movie and then

1:03:39

the audience decides if we wanna watch it

1:03:42

or not. And then on July

1:03:45

10th, Dab's day, I'm doing stand

1:03:47

up at the

1:03:49

punchline and Sacramento and

1:03:52

Douglas movies is coming soon to

1:03:54

Portland, Oregon, San Diego and

1:03:57

Sunnyvale, California. All

1:04:00

my dates and deets are at

1:04:03

douglovesmovies.com. And

1:04:05

as always, thank you to all

1:04:08

my guests for being here, Sam Levine, Mary

1:04:10

Santora, Kurt Ziegler. And

1:04:15

I was going to quickly try to look up the

1:04:18

last line of

1:04:20

the movie Bratz for my closing last

1:04:22

line of the episode today. I think

1:04:25

I know it. You do?

1:04:27

What is it? I mean, literally it ends

1:04:29

with, I mean, it's kind of a spoiler because we already said

1:04:31

Judd Nelson is not in the movie, but I

1:04:33

think literally the last line is Andrew McCarthy's phone

1:04:36

rings and he picks up the phone and he

1:04:38

goes, Judd? Probably

1:04:43

Judd Abagnale called him. Yeah.

1:04:47

Probably. Well, I love that because I

1:04:49

was just going to guess what the last

1:04:51

line was. And I, the one I came

1:04:53

up with was, so it turns out we're

1:04:55

not much of a pack after all. But

1:05:00

I like, I like, I like

1:05:02

using the actual last line. So

1:05:04

as always, Judd?

1:05:09

Now it's time for Doug

1:05:11

to watch another talkie. Eyes

1:05:13

of gold, his viewing prowess

1:05:15

makes him cocky. There's no

1:05:17

room in his heart for

1:05:20

you, cause Doug loves movies!
