Doug loves movies. Hey,

3:11

hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug

3:13

and I love movies. This is

3:16

Doug Loves Movies, recording on

3:18

Super Sunday, February 11th, 2024.

3:23

And in keeping with the sports

3:25

theme of the day, all

3:28

three of my guests today

3:31

are returning champions. We've

3:33

got Doug Miller, Chad Opus,

3:35

and Jodie Reeves. Happy New

3:38

Year to all. Hey,

3:40

Doug. Let's

3:45

meet everyone individually and alphabetically

3:48

by first name.

3:52

Sorry, Jodie. He

3:56

lost under questionable circumstances

3:58

in Sacramento. but

4:01

went on to win in San

4:03

Francisco and will be appearing with

4:05

me at the Well Comedy

4:07

Club in Vakersfield, California on Saturday,

4:10

February 24th. It's Chad Open!

4:13

Hello Doug! Hey man,

4:15

how's it going? It's going good. I had a great

4:18

time at that Sketchfest show with you. Oh

4:20

my god, Sketchfest is so much fun. I

4:22

can't believe, I mean

4:25

you were under Dog City

4:27

on that episode because

4:29

we had both Japanese champion

4:31

Amy Schneider and all-round

4:34

champion in life Jeff

4:36

Tate on the panel and

4:39

two ladies like you really rose

4:41

to the occasion. I couldn't

4:44

believe it. But

4:50

you know it was nice to have

4:52

that happen because you had just had

4:54

to deal with a controversy on the

4:56

show that we will

4:58

discuss in a moment. But first

5:02

also joining us, my co-host from

5:04

Wide World of Doug's the podcast

5:07

and a recent shocking

5:10

winner over Zoom is

5:13

Doug Mellard. Hey Doug! Hey

5:15

dude, two times shocking winner. Yeah,

5:18

do you think you deserve to win

5:20

either time? In San

5:23

Antonio for sure, I think.

5:26

Kind of squeaked by last time but I

5:29

feel like I brought my A-game in

5:31

San Antonio. Now

5:34

do you have a preface between playing

5:36

in front of an audience or playing over Zoom is

5:38

one better than the other for the competitor?

5:43

I think always in front

5:45

of an audience just because you know it

5:48

gives you that extra little bump of adrenaline

5:50

than a champion needs. Okay,

5:53

well fortunately you've all loved

5:56

your steeves. Hey! Unfortunately,

6:00

all three of you have recently experienced

6:02

the live audience, so you can

6:09

just imagine it today.

6:12

Imagine an audience full of people with

6:14

allergies, and I'll play that role. And

6:19

finally joining us today, a woman

6:22

who convinced a whole room

6:25

full of people that Michelle

6:27

Pfeiffer was in Ant-Man 1. It's

6:31

Jody Reeves. Hey Jody. Hey. That

6:36

was an impressive thing you did. Well,

6:39

I feel like they more convinced

6:42

themselves than I convinced them. Right?

6:45

That's what all cult leaders say. Yeah,

6:47

sure. Is that, you know, I just

6:49

put it out there. I got that

6:52

charismatic thing down. Yeah, I

6:54

was excused me for being

6:56

so charismatic that people

6:58

would believe something as insane as

7:01

Michelle Pfeiffer being in Ant-Man 1. But

7:04

you also had a

7:06

really clever way of suggesting that

7:09

she might be in it through

7:11

those post-credit scenes.

7:14

And also, I think also the possibility

7:17

of her being in a photograph also

7:19

came up at some point. So

7:23

well done. And thank you for

7:26

returning to essentially

7:28

clear your name, which I want to spell

7:31

for the listeners because they

7:33

may get it wrong if they're trying

7:35

to write down Jody Reeves because it's

7:38

J-O-D-I-R-I-V-E-S. Yep,

7:41

looks like Rives. Don't

7:45

put that in their head. Don't

7:47

even suggest it, Jody.

7:50

So are you looking

7:54

forward to a win today or do you want to

7:56

get back to your normal life? Oh

7:58

no, I'm always in it to win. right? I'm the

8:01

oldest child, oldest children. Competition

8:03

flows through my veins. So okay, well,

8:07

I mean, it certainly did in

8:09

Sacramento because you

8:11

run roughshod over the competition. But

8:15

before we play our games today, as a

8:19

regular listener to the show, you're probably aware

8:21

of me trying to

8:23

squeeze recommendations out of everybody

8:26

every week for movies to watch. And

8:29

by the time people listen to this,

8:31

the Super Bowl will be over.

8:35

So before I ask you all

8:38

to recommend a movie in

8:40

a category of my choosing, let's

8:42

quickly start with you, Chad, who

8:44

do you think is going to win the Super Bowl? I

8:47

want you to sound

8:49

really smart, like you knew, because

8:52

it hasn't happened yet. But it

8:56

will be it will be over by the time

8:58

anybody hears this. You know, I'm, you know, that's

9:00

where I got real good with stand up comedy.

9:02

That's where I got a bunch of friends who

9:04

are rooting for him. So I gotta go with

9:06

the San Francisco 49ers. Okay. So it's more

9:11

of a Taylor Swift, more of a

9:13

more of a prediction. Um,

9:16

I'm, yeah,

9:18

I don't know what I'm talking

9:20

about. I

9:23

would hope none of us do or sitting around

9:25

doing movie trivia games on Super Bowl

9:27

Sunday. So Doug,

9:29

what's what's your pick? Chiefs,

9:32

for sure. Yeah. And that's mostly

9:34

because I'm a Cowboys fan and the

9:36

49ers have the same amount

9:38

of Super Bowl rings. So

9:41

I don't want them to pass Dallas. So

9:43

and I like Patrick Mahon. And sure,

9:46

Taylor Swift is just seems like a nice lady.

9:48

So let's do it. Yeah,

9:53

that's the other thing is I guess by the time people hear

9:55

this, Travis

9:58

Kelsey will have proposed

10:00

marriage to,

10:02

uh, to a Swift right after saying that

10:04

he's going to the, uh, going

10:07

to Disney world. So if

10:10

the chiefs win though, Doug would,

10:15

the quarterback would be the one that gets the

10:17

most credit, right? Yeah,

10:19

generally. Yeah. So

10:21

that's on that team. That's my,

10:24

my homes. Yeah. Yeah. So

10:26

he's going to say whether or not

10:28

he's going to Disney world while he

10:30

could be upstaged by, uh, Kelsey

10:32

could be over on one knee

10:35

proposing to the most famous woman in the

10:37

world. Yeah, they

10:39

should. If they win,

10:41

just let Kelsey have that spotlight. It'll

10:43

be best for everybody. I

10:46

also have to thank you, Doug, for

10:48

taking time away from the puppy bowl.

10:50

Cause that's happening right now. And I

10:52

know you're probably, uh, always watching that

10:55

every year. Love

10:57

it. Yeah. My bookie won't take any

10:59

action on the puppy balls. I, it

11:04

forced me to stop gambling altogether. Jodi, what

11:06

do you think? Do you have a favorite

11:09

in this matchup? You of course live in

11:11

Sacramento. So do you have a Bay area

11:13

loyalty? I live outside of Sacramento.

11:15

Um, didn't care about football at all when

11:17

I was in high school and went to

11:20

every single home game because I was involved

11:22

in color guard, but, um, I

11:24

married into a three-generation Steelers family.

11:27

And so that's that if we

11:29

have a loyalty, that's it. Um,

11:32

but I, right now I, it

11:34

doesn't matter so much for loyalty for me in

11:36

that, um, I think that

11:38

we have to just look at record

11:40

and Mahomes is a badass and he,

11:42

he has shown up time and time

11:44

again of doing the work. And

11:46

we also talk a lot about Travis Kelsey

11:49

and Taylor Swift and all of that stuff,

11:51

but Travis Kelsey is

11:53

also a badass and, um, just

11:55

his record alone is, um,

11:58

just something. So I, I think just based

12:01

on the numbers, I'm

12:03

looking for a chief's victory unless

12:05

something just unexpected

12:08

happens. Right.

12:11

That's the beauty of

12:13

football. One

12:15

of those two gentlemen you just named could like,

12:17

you know, sprain an ankle in the first play

12:19

of the game and then everything changes. But,

12:24

you know, good luck no matter who you're

12:26

rooting for today because I know it's important

12:29

to people. Especially

12:33

advertising. Yeah,

12:35

exactly. I

12:37

love the silence after that. That was

12:39

beautiful. You

12:42

don't get enough of that in today's

12:44

media where the response is silence, you

12:46

know, everybody's always anxious

12:49

to speak and be on camera. And

12:52

I'm going to go. I announced

12:54

this earlier today on the

12:57

Patreon for getting Doug with

13:00

high because I just wanted to be

13:02

on the record early today, but I

13:04

think it's going to be the Chiefs and they're going to

13:06

win by seven, but that's not what I'm hoping will happen.

13:10

That's what that's what's going to happen. In my

13:12

opinion. But

13:15

what do I know I just learned the

13:17

names of some of the players today. So

13:19

let's jump ahead. Forget

13:24

about this whole Super Bowl nonsense for

13:26

now because Valentine's Day is on Wednesday.

13:30

So for recommendations today,

13:32

I would like you to

13:35

please suggest a ROM

13:38

with or without the com. Wow.

13:40

Yeah, it just has to be romantic. It

13:43

doesn't have to be a comedy because people feel

13:46

always go right to rom coms just

13:48

because it's such a fun expression. And

13:50

there's so many of them that

13:53

people love to talk about them. But, you

13:55

know, there's also movies that are just just

13:57

romantic. So Chad, what would

13:59

you say? recommend for somebody to watch either

14:01

they're alone and they want to have

14:05

hope for a relationship in the future or

14:07

they're with somebody and they're in love. What

14:09

would be a good movie to watch? Well,

14:12

Doug, this is definitely not my wheelhouse.

14:15

I don't think I don't think I'm gonna try to

14:22

think of like one that I've generally

14:24

felt most romantic horror movie I've

14:26

got one if you don't. Most

14:29

romantic horror movie. Yeah, I don't know why

14:31

this one popped my mind, but have you

14:33

seen a have you seen Peter Jackson's Dead

14:35

Alive? I have

14:37

and I can't think of what that's romantic.

14:40

Well, there's a whole like the whole storyline

14:42

is him starting up this romance with this

14:44

woman, but he you know, his

14:46

mom is domineering mother won't let him see her.

14:48

So he right. That's

14:50

a huge factor in the whole thing that like

14:53

he wants to be with this woman and he

14:55

has to overcome this like horde of zombies to

14:58

be together with her. Yeah,

15:01

all I remember is him cleverly using

15:03

the big blade on the bottom of

15:05

the lawnmower. Yeah. Take

15:08

care of some of those. What's

15:11

your so I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna say

15:13

that I so sad that I literally can't think

15:15

of a romantic movie. That's

15:19

a great, that's a great answer.

15:21

I'm gonna save mine until the end because I don't want

15:25

everybody thinks they have to pick a horror movie.

15:28

Doug, what do you think is a good romance?

15:31

Like what would you like to watch

15:33

with your wife on Wednesday? Well,

15:38

it jumped in my mind. Like either like the

15:40

most like can't wait to watch this with the

15:44

wife on Wednesday. But

15:46

why are you recommending it? Why

15:48

would you recommend something you would

15:50

want? Because they're well, eternal

15:53

sunshine. It's a good movie. It's a great movie.

15:55

It's about love at the base, but it's kind

15:57

of a little backwards the time but The

16:00

classic and it's good in the winter while there's

16:02

still kind of a winter left I

16:05

mean there's probably winter for other people out there

16:07

not in texas here The

16:10

other one I had mine was the original popeye

16:12

the live action Oh

16:14

with uh, yeah, he and olive oil

16:16

have quite yeah, man quite a courtship

16:18

juicy Yeah, quite a

16:21

courtship amongst all the weird, uh bridges

16:23

and ladders and stuff in their weird

16:25

town and That movie is

16:27

they made that in Malta Oh

16:30

really? Yeah They

16:33

just built a set out in Malta It's like like

16:36

freaking water world or something like that. They just

16:38

had this big old crazy set

16:40

for For the popeye movie

16:42

and people probably wouldn't say the set is

16:44

so as a standout like it's uh, it

16:47

doesn't really I

16:49

guess it kind of makes it feel like

16:51

it's all very seafaring. But we're

16:54

here to talk about eternal sunshine of

16:57

the spotless mind Yeah,

17:00

I agree with you that it's probably not

17:02

a great movie to watch with somebody on

17:05

valentine's but it might be a good antidote

17:08

to the concept of valentine's Anybody

17:11

out there that's being a hater on valentine's?

17:14

I think we got two good choices. So yeah Yeah

17:18

And a great soundtrack. Oh my god,

17:21

the music is beautiful for that movie john

17:24

brine like but like Makes

17:27

you sleepy that kind of beautiful. I mean,

17:29

yeah It's uh, you know good

17:31

music to like have on the background of

17:33

work or something. Yeah, like dream

17:36

life. Yeah I

17:39

dig it and polyphonics free

17:41

beck. It's a good soundtrack. Yeah,

17:43

okay Um

17:48

Souls uh jody

17:50

you've had some time to think about this

17:52

and give a reasonable answer I

17:54

do Valentine's Day

17:56

is my absolute favorite holiday.

17:59

Absolutely favorite. Even if I am

18:01

not partnered, it's my favorite because first

18:03

of all pin can read together on

18:05

the on there. But also because Valentine's

18:08

Day is a holiday that has nothing

18:10

to do with your family. like you

18:12

don't have trouble for not going home

18:14

for Valentine's dinner and said that, That

18:16

makes it top in my book. I

18:19

love Valentine's. But with

18:21

ah what I'm going to say of

18:23

my answer is that there have only

18:25

been five perfect movies that have ever

18:28

been made and one of them absolutely.

18:30

Qualifies in that category, and

18:32

that is moonstruck. Ah,

18:35

Finally somebody reasonable. I

18:37

was just watching that

18:39

movie or the other

18:41

day. Ah, And

18:43

it's so funny and light

18:46

and. Ah, a

18:48

perfect for for Valentine's.

18:50

Or. For any day it's brilliant. Every day

18:52

finally gives a right. Was just watching Moonstruck

18:55

the other day every day. I can say

18:57

that me every. Day I'm not perfect

18:59

for us with every night there

19:01

that moved out there on the

19:03

fafsa owner and I'm always like

19:05

that Cosmos Moon. Exactly exactly all at

19:08

the system you know on social media does

19:10

put out oh it's Cosmos, moon and all

19:12

of my best the will respond of they

19:14

all know exactly what. I'm talking about if

19:17

if if, if the. Iowa

19:19

flu of the great would earn

19:21

them. Are certainly that's

19:24

what I I. I would

19:26

back that for this particular,

19:28

but. I'm. In

19:31

we're going horror movies that a

19:33

romantic. I would say have a

19:35

name and song Love Well they're making

19:37

food. Jeff. Goldblum in Jena. Dave

19:40

assume the fly or your mom.

19:42

Mom, the bird or your sorrow

19:44

doesn't really have a happy ending,

19:47

but. You

19:49

know is. The ultimate bar fun

19:51

something and then say that growth

19:53

movie so yeah it is the

19:56

perfect Mr. That. Is. It

19:59

really is The. is like so Cronenberg

20:01

and how disgusting it is but there's something

20:03

about Jeff Goldblum and Geodavis how they

20:05

both deal with everything you know until the

20:07

very end but he's just full on

20:09

fly but you know the

20:12

process is still it's still kind of

20:14

fun even though it's disgusting and

20:18

they do they do love each other and I

20:20

don't know if she loses

20:22

interest in him when his junk

20:24

falls off or I don't know exactly what

20:26

happened but probably when he throws up

20:31

on his food stuff to eat it that's probably

20:33

what he checks out. Alright

20:35

so congratulations to everybody

20:38

20:44

25:57

time we and you got it

25:59

right Congratulations. All

26:01

right. I don't even know. There

26:03

was the DD Pfeiffer. Not a lot of people

26:05

do. This is where you come to learn. Yeah,

26:11

DD managed

26:14

to squeak

26:16

into both, into the night and Frankie

26:18

and Johnny. Could DD be

26:20

in more Michelle Pfeiffer films?

26:23

We'll have to wait and see. Jodie?

26:26

Yeah. How about Charlie

26:29

Chan and the Curse of the

26:31

Dragon Queen? Again,

26:41

I do not know. Just

26:44

Michelle. You're going

26:46

just Michelle is in Charlie Chan and

26:48

the Curse of the Dragon Queen. Sure.

26:51

And you're saying that because it's correct. Oh,

26:53

yay. I think

26:55

it's nothing. You got

26:57

it. Exactly. You're on the board. Always

27:01

important. But Chad's up next. You

27:04

could tie it up with Doug on this one. We'll

27:07

see what happens. The

27:09

film Chad is called

27:15

Tune In Tomorrow.

27:17

Tune In Tomorrow? I've never even heard

27:19

of this one. I'm

27:23

going to watch it on Valentine's Day. Tune

27:26

In Tomorrow. I'm

27:29

going to go Just

27:31

DD. Just

27:35

DD's in Tune In Tomorrow? Yeah.

27:39

Got it? Yes. Woo-hoo. Because

27:42

I was like, I definitely

27:44

do not think Michelle's in that one. Because

27:47

you think maybe you'd have heard of it

27:49

if she was? Yeah. That's what

27:51

I would think. Okay.

27:54

That's reasonable. All right,

27:56

Doug. Okay. This

27:59

is for the way. in if you get there.

28:02

You're the winner. If you

28:05

don't, Jody

28:07

and Chad are still in it. Dangerously

28:15

close. Oh, well,

28:18

I'm just gonna keep riding both because it's

28:20

done me well so far. Let's go with

28:22

both. No, no. It

28:24

only could get you so far, Doug.

28:26

I guess so. Both just

28:36

dropped you off unceremoniously.

28:39

Damn you, Dee

28:41

Dee. Jody, you could pull off

28:43

a three-way tie here if

28:46

you get this correct. Is it Michelle

28:48

or Dee Dee that's in a movie

28:50

called Dangerously Close? Jody?

29:06

Oh, her thing is off now. Oh,

29:10

it's back. Just Michelle. Okay.

29:16

Hang on a second. Oh,

29:18

Chad. Chad. Well, we got this left,

29:22

Chad. I gotta go just to

29:24

eat. You got it.

29:31

You have to. That

29:33

is correct. Wow. You did

29:35

it. That was

29:37

dangerously close. Chad, make that

29:40

dude. It really was. That

29:42

was really an exciting finish because we

29:44

would have had to go to the

29:46

tiebreaker, which would have been a

29:49

film called Up Close and

29:51

Personal. Oh, Lord. Yeah. And

29:54

that, as it turns out, is yet

29:56

another both. What? How many did they

29:59

do together? They did three

30:01

together and by together, I mean, you know,

30:03

Dee Dee has a small scene in the

30:05

movie somewhere that may or may not even

30:08

interact with Michelle's character. You know, Dee

30:10

Dee has a great part in that movie, Falling Down. Yes.

30:14

Yeah, that's true. It's a very whammy

30:17

burger employee. Yeah, yeah.

30:20

Now, good poll there, Chad.

30:22

Is everything all right, Jodi? You put

30:25

us on mute or something? Oh, no. That

30:27

was entirely accidental. I do a couple of times

30:29

because I have to cough and so I don't

30:31

want to cough in the microphone, but that one

30:33

was totally accidental. Oh, OK. I

30:37

really thought, oh, no, like you

30:39

got disconnected and even know what the

30:42

question was or anything. Nope. I

30:44

was answering it. You were there. All

30:46

right. Well, Chad won

30:48

that game. But, you know, as you know, that

30:52

only means that Chad gets to go

30:54

first and second and final

30:56

game today that we will play right

30:59

after this break. We'll be right back.

31:02

We are back, Chad. Congratulations

31:06

on winning that last game.

31:08

But it's only going to

31:11

get you so far because it just

31:13

means you

31:15

have to go first in this next game, which

31:17

I think this is one of those games that

31:19

Sam Levine would be the first to point

31:21

out that going first is not an advantage.

31:23

Oh, no. OK. That'll

31:26

teach you. I know. That's

31:29

what you get for trying

31:31

and succeeding. Those are

31:33

things you should take out of your

31:35

repertoire. An important lesson. But

31:40

it's true in the world of

31:42

comedy, I'm afraid, that being a

31:44

big screw up is really part

31:46

of, you know, as

31:49

part of the game. Yeah. But

31:52

today we're going to play. I

31:55

don't know how long it's been since we played

31:57

it, but I've got a special edition set

31:59

up. for everybody. And

32:02

Chad is going to go first in

32:05

whose tagline is it

32:07

anyway Super Sunday Edition.

32:15

We were just listening to a Christmas

32:18

version of that yesterday.

32:20

Oh my.

32:22

Yeah, Jerry O'Connell

32:25

on it. Oh, okay. Sounds

32:28

like something he would do. I will tell

32:30

you a tagline from a

32:34

motion picture. You

32:36

get one guess. We take

32:38

turns. I'm going to flip the

32:40

order around from that last

32:42

game. So it's going to go Chad,

32:46

then Jodie, then Doug,

32:48

then Chad again like

32:50

that. But Chad

32:52

gets to guess first on

32:55

the first one person who's gotten the

32:57

most right by after

33:00

seven of these will win.

33:03

But a tiebreaker is standing

33:06

by if we need it. Are

33:09

you ready, Chad? Yes,

33:11

sir. Keep in

33:13

mind this is a Super Sunday Edition.

33:17

That's the only clue you get. It's

33:19

going to be all Christian movies. We

33:22

could call that sucky Sunday edition, but

33:30

you know, whatever. Others

33:33

will call it sac religious Sunday. There we

33:35

go. No, you have to just pull it

33:37

out of thin air except for the, you

33:40

know, the potential for you could figure out what

33:42

the theme is. And that might help. But

33:45

yeah, these are very, this is very

33:47

difficult. I'm counting on you to know

33:49

some of these Jodie. All right. All

33:53

right. If you say

33:56

so. All right, Chad. First

33:59

up. Play

34:03

or be played? Play

34:05

or be played. Yeah.

34:08

A clue the movie? No. Play

34:12

or be played. Man. I

34:18

just thought of a good title for like a

34:21

good tagline for an end of the world movie.

34:24

Plague or be plagued. There we go.

34:26

Play or be plagued. Play

34:28

or be plagued. Man. I'm

34:37

going to totally get any on any given Sunday. Any

34:42

given Sunday? Yeah. Is

34:45

your wild guess? Yes. That

34:50

is correct. Oh my God. Oh

34:52

my God. Just

34:55

taking a guess. Yeah.

34:58

Just going to go for it. Wow.

35:01

Yeah. Jodi, what were you

35:03

thinking it was? That's what I

35:06

was going to say. Oh, absolutely was. I had

35:08

it totally on board. And oh,

35:10

no. Just like Chad stole

35:12

my Hector Elizondo last time. He sold it

35:14

this time. Sorry. Doug,

35:17

what are you doing? I'm going to say, I'm going to say, I'm

35:19

going to say, I'm going to say, I'm going to say, sorry.

35:23

Doug, what were you going to say? Man,

35:26

I mean, I was going

35:28

to guess along that theme, but I don't know. It

35:31

makes sense now a little bit, but I

35:33

had no clue. Wow. Thank

35:36

you, Chad. Thank you. Yeah.

35:39

All right, Jodi. You're up first on this next one.

35:41

Okay. Super

35:46

Sunday edition. The

35:50

tagline is just three words. Flummings

35:53

our game. My name

35:56

is Jodi. What?

36:02

Plumbing's our game. What?

36:06

Do you

36:10

have a guess, Jodi? It's okay

36:15

to pass if

36:18

it's not coming here. Tom

36:20

and Dumber. Oh,

36:23

okay. I think

36:25

they ran like a dog grooming thing, but

36:28

still a fun guess. There

36:32

is a very memorable team. What?

36:36

You're kidding. All right, Doug.

36:41

I mean, I don't

36:44

know as far as a theme. It

36:47

doesn't make a lot of sense. Good

36:53

Lord, Super Mario Brothers, 1993. Super

36:57

Mario Brothers from 1993 is your guess? Yeah.

37:01

Sorry. That's

37:04

actually what I was going to guess, too.

37:06

Any other guesses,

37:09

Chad? Plumbing

37:14

is our game. Oh,

37:18

God. Next

37:23

Friday? I

37:31

don't know, man. That's so hard. That's

37:33

incorrect. I

37:35

told you these are going to be tough, but I didn't know

37:38

it would be so tough that someone

37:40

would say three of the words in

37:42

this title, but not all five.

37:45

Super Mario Brothers movies. Oh,

37:51

yeah, the Johnny legs Bob Hoskins one

37:53

was called Super Mario Brothers

37:55

and the one that's from last year

37:58

is called Super Mario Brothers movies. And

38:00

I just want to give a shout

38:02

out to that movie because I'm sad

38:04

I think it should have been nominated

38:06

for best animated movie by the Oscars

38:10

And it wasn't Hmm

38:13

so just throw just throwing that out

38:15

there wait wait till I got the

38:17

nomination You

38:20

know five animated movies Oh

38:33

The the girl in the heron I think

38:35

it's called and a fifth one like We

38:39

out of the five are like foreign films, okay? So

38:44

yeah, I'm not good at remembering which

38:46

ones but anyway You

38:49

know spider-versal probably win it

38:51

because everybody loves that movie.

38:53

Okay? so

38:57

Chad still got one point and Who

39:00

Chad went last on that one right so we

39:02

start with Jody again? Jody

39:07

What movie has the tagline it

39:10

arrives It

39:22

Dumb and dumber I Don't

39:47

know yeah That's not a bad

39:49

guess you just have to get something where

39:51

something that people would call it arrives But

39:55

that's not the right in Hmm

40:01

It's how about it If

40:06

our water it part two where

40:08

one Right,

40:10

cuz why would it be arriving apart? Damn

40:16

it Chad What

40:19

is it it

40:21

arrives I'm gonna say I The

40:25

Addams family movie yeah, I've

40:28

been pronouncing this wrong. I apologize Jody. It's

40:30

it a Reeves Before

40:36

you give the answer I think I know what

40:38

it is now once we are once instead Right

40:41

doesn't that crazy? I was just jump said you're

40:43

head when it's too late But

40:46

that your answer Chad was incorrect And

40:49

what what do you think it is Jody super 8?

40:52

Super 8 is correct. Whoa Yeah,

40:58

I mean that could almost be any sci-fi movie

41:03

It arrived whoa, yeah, yeah, there's

41:05

it tends to be something arriving

41:07

that causes something to happen Then

41:10

you have a story alright So

41:13

nobody got the point on that one

41:15

and we start with Jody

41:19

again Mm-hmm

41:22

for 100,000 people Monday may never

41:24

come All

41:32

right, oh

41:34

my god, right Any

41:47

guesses Jody um No

41:53

supernatural TV

41:57

show I believe but At

42:00

least you're I think you're on board with the theme Is

42:07

Doug That

42:13

was that guy that makes all those

42:15

disastery movies right yeah, no

42:18

Emmerich Yeah, yeah

42:22

No Chad

42:28

you're not gonna believe you might not believe if I knew

42:30

this one right away Yeah,

42:32

I think so cuz it describes

42:34

it perfectly. Yeah, it's Black Sunday.

42:37

Yes, that is correct Black

42:41

Sunday Bruce Dern. Yes, like a

42:43

lunatic who figures out. I'm gonna

42:45

fly a blimp

42:47

over the Super Bowl Or

42:50

is it just a playoff game? I think it's just

42:52

a playoff game to be honest but maybe it's a

42:54

super yeah, but whatever it is and then

42:57

He outfits it with a bunch

42:59

of tiny darts. There's like like

43:01

little nails nails. Yeah, and yeah

43:04

And so he's just gonna just

43:06

murder an entire stadium all at

43:08

once. It's pretty intense movie with

43:10

Robert Shaw Yeah, yeah

43:15

Anyway That

43:20

weird-ass punchline Yeah

43:32

For a hundred thousand people Monday may never

43:34

come yeah, yeah because people do over

43:37

drink they do drink too much during

43:39

the Super Bowl So that statistic seems

43:41

accurate. Okay? So

43:43

Chad has got two points But we're

43:47

back to you again Jody for this next one Thanks,

43:50

Chad This

43:55

one's got punctuation in

43:57

it The

44:01

mustache ride will come

44:04

again. Ha ha ha.

44:07

Ha ha ha. All

44:11

right. Ha ha ha ha.

44:18

Jodie? Superbad. Ow.

44:23

No. Doug?

44:27

Uh, is there a... Shit.

44:29

Supertroopers 2? Oh!

44:33

Listen to you! You

44:35

figured it out! There we go. You did

44:37

it! I couldn't remember if there was one.

44:40

There is. I thought so, but I was...

44:42

There's Supertroopers 3 as well. Yeah.

44:44

Wow. That was good

44:46

work. Yeah. Good job, Doug.

44:50

But the bad news is Chad gets to go

44:53

first on this next one. That

44:56

is for who? Yeah, I don't think

44:58

that's the best news for me. Um,

45:02

yeah, it's really... We'll

45:05

see. We'll see how this turns out. But

45:09

it's pretty much bad news for everybody except for

45:11

Chad. Because

45:14

if he gets this one right, he's just gonna

45:16

be, you know. But

45:20

let's start with Jodie. Wait,

45:22

what? Oh, no, I'm sorry. It is... You're right. Chad

45:25

is first. You're right. What's

45:28

going on, Doug? You're

45:30

up next, Chad. And if you get this right, you win.

45:33

What I said, and then there were noises of

45:35

discontent like I was wrong. So

45:37

I had to go back. I had to retrace my

45:39

steps to make sure I wasn't screwing something up. Chad.

45:43

Yes, sir. You don't mess

45:45

with the law. The law

45:47

messes with you. You

45:49

don't? Yeah, that could also be Supertroopers 2.

45:52

You don't mess with the law.

45:54

The law messes with you. I'll

46:05

say super troopers. The

46:07

first one? Yeah. Why? Oh

46:10

my God. Okay. That

46:14

is why I said the thing about

46:16

the bad news. It's

46:19

because I felt like Chad would figure that

46:22

one out and now he has what we

46:24

in the biz

46:26

call it insurmountable lead

46:29

insurmountable. I

46:32

thought I had an extra syllable, but

46:34

he is a, he

46:37

wins. Congratulations, Chad. Oh man. You

46:40

did it. You

46:44

can assume your rightful

46:46

position as king

46:49

of movie trivia mountain on

46:52

this very glorious of days. Uh,

46:55

but Jody just to show off, uh,

46:58

I've got one more that I would

47:00

like to read to you and then you tell me

47:02

the answer. You ready? Okay.

47:07

Yes. You'll believe a man can fly.

47:11

Oh, that's correct. Super read with Chris for

47:13

me. There

47:16

we go. That's

47:20

my favorite Michelle Pfeiffer movie. Yeah.

47:23

That took me on his motorcycle on a date

47:25

to go see that movie when I was 12

47:27

years old. So, you

47:30

know, who else I love in that movie, Dee Dee Pfeiffer. Oh,

47:35

Pfeifferific. Um,

47:38

but, uh, yeah, congratulations

47:40

again to, uh,

47:43

Chad for, for taking it down. Um,

47:46

what would you like to promote? What have you

47:48

got to, uh, plug Chad? Uh, well I'll be

47:51

loading up a blimp with some nails here in

47:53

about an hour. No. 100,000

47:55

people will never be one day. No,

48:00

I guess you already promoted it, Doug. I'm

48:02

doing the well in Bakersfield with you on

48:04

February 24th. Yeah,

48:07

that's going to be super fun. I every

48:09

comic I know plays at clubs has been

48:11

a great time. So looking

48:13

forward to that. And

48:15

we'll have you back soon. Do you

48:18

think the time will be

48:20

different, but maybe next Sunday you might

48:22

be available? Yeah. All

48:24

right. I could do that. Keep this

48:27

winning streak going possibly. We'll

48:29

see. I'll double

48:31

check with you on that live

48:34

and in person. Doug

48:36

Mellard, what would you like to promote? Find

48:39

me on Instagram at Doug Mellard.

48:41

And if you're in Austin, Texas

48:44

next weekend, February, Friday,

48:46

the 16th or yeah, 16th

48:48

through the 18th, I'll be opening for

48:50

10 Meadows at Cap City Comedy

48:52

Club. Come on. I'm

48:56

so excited for that. I

48:59

love that you're excited for me for it. Have

49:02

you seen the new Mean Girls? I'm

49:04

not. I want to watch it before Friday.

49:07

For sure. Because he's in it again as

49:09

the same character. And I

49:12

just wonder how many of his lines I know

49:14

he's got some lines are different than

49:16

the first movie. It's the weirdest because

49:19

it's not a, you know, it's not a reboot. It's

49:22

not a sequel, but it is a musical. You know,

49:24

it's weird. Inna Fey is back too.

49:26

Yeah. Yeah. They're back. Same characters kind

49:29

of going through the set, but the

49:31

story is kind of the same. So

49:33

it's like almost like an alternate universe.

49:35

It is very much like that version.

49:38

Tina Fey will write this one as well.

49:40

Yes. I think the music. Oh,

49:42

wow. Yeah. I think

49:44

it's kind of, you know, in a way

49:46

it's sort of like how Anchorman two was

49:48

sort of like almost like just watching a

49:50

series of lines that didn't make it in

49:52

Anchorman one. You

49:55

know, it felt like that. I don't know if that's true

49:57

at all. But Jody Reames. Another

50:00

excellent appearance on the show. Thank

50:04

you for taking the time to join us.

50:06

What would you have anything you'd like to

50:08

promote? Yeah, you can find me

50:11

in the class schedule

50:14

for local community college

50:16

near you teaching communication classes.

50:19

And also I want to

50:22

promote everybody getting educated and

50:24

voting. Oh yeah. Who's listening.

50:27

Oh I love

50:29

that. That's a terrific plug. I write

50:31

takes for future episodes. Everybody

50:34

listen, go out and vote, but

50:36

also educate. And I am like

50:38

happy to come back anytime you let me

50:40

know and I'll be back. And

50:42

again, like I said, there's two

50:45

of us that anytime could come back

50:47

and. Oh yeah, before the

50:49

show you mentioned because it's your

50:51

husband. He's the like more

50:53

of a super fan than you. And

50:56

I'll tell you this guy super integrity because I told

50:58

him if you're going to be down here with me

51:00

because I have a zoom set up in

51:02

my basement for teaching classes. So if you're going to

51:04

be down here with me, you cannot

51:06

help me no matter what. No matter what,

51:08

even if I beg you, you cannot help

51:10

me. And

51:13

so I did not in fact ask him,

51:16

but he was sitting over here and

51:18

knew every answer every time and was dying

51:20

because I, he had not to

51:22

help me and he didn't. So well,

51:26

I, I love the,

51:28

the restraint there because it is, it

51:31

is exciting. I feel like

51:33

you probably did know an answer

51:35

to big DD. Yeah,

51:37

I appreciate. Yeah, exactly. Doug

51:42

plugs. I'm going to be back

51:44

with Douglas movies at the improv

51:46

lab at the Hollywood improv on

51:48

February 20th at seven 30 with

51:51

the got two terrific guests lined up

51:53

so far. Marsha cashier and guy Brannam

51:56

and a third to be determined.

51:58

And then. And

52:01

as mentioned before, The Well in

52:03

Bakersfield for stand-up comedy, the chat

52:05

opens on February 24th. And

52:08

then I'm gonna be in Vegas March

52:11

1st and 2nd at the Jimmy Kimmel

52:13

Comedy Club at the Link, the

52:16

L-I-N-Q, that big, you

52:18

can find it by just walking down the strip

52:21

and looking for the Ferris wheel. Go

52:24

to douglowsmovies.com for

52:26

all of my dates and deets. And

52:30

I came up with a tiebreaker in case we

52:33

had a tie today. And

52:35

I figure we might as well play it

52:38

just for fun since we have a extra

52:40

minute here at the

52:42

end of the show. So

52:45

whose turn

52:47

was it next in that game we were

52:49

playing? When Chad won, it would be Jody's

52:51

turn next and then Doug and then Chad.

52:53

So Jody, we'll let you guess first. Okay.

52:59

Which is the longest of

53:02

these three movies? And then, you know,

53:04

Doug will have to pick

53:06

from the remaining two and Chad will get, just get

53:08

whatever's left over. We'll just see

53:10

how lucky Chad is in

53:12

general. Jody,

53:15

which movie do you think is the longest?

53:17

Super Troopers, Super Troopers 2, or

53:21

the movie that James Gunn made that's

53:23

merely called Super? Which

53:25

one has the longest running time? I'm

53:28

gonna say Super Troopers 2. Okay.

53:35

Doug, what do you think

53:37

between the original Super Troops and

53:40

the very disturbing superhero movie James

53:44

Gunn made with Rainn Wilson? I'll

53:47

go with Super. What

53:50

our friend Steve Agens said, what

53:53

our friend Steve Agey says the C word

53:55

in that movie. Oh,

53:57

yeah. That's how edgy that movie is.

54:00

is. Okay, and then

54:02

so that leaves super

54:04

troopers for a

54:06

chat opens, who I,

54:10

I never said

54:12

this out loud before, but

54:14

might be the luckiest person

54:16

I know. Because that is

54:19

the correct. Oh,

54:21

my god. Yeah.

54:26

Yeah, it's real close. There's like, you

54:31

know, super

54:33

troopers to the movie super

54:35

is one hour 36 minutes long, super troopers

54:38

to is one hour 39 minutes long. And

54:40

then the original super

54:42

troopers is a whole hour and 40

54:45

minutes. Wow. So

54:48

yeah, real tight race

54:50

there. Just a five minute spread

54:52

between the first and third. But

54:55

still Chad, I'm just impressed. I don't

54:57

know how you do. Hey, that was,

54:59

you know, but still there. Yeah,

55:02

yeah, yeah, you just knew

55:04

how to sit back and wait for the

55:07

wind to come to you.

55:09

I mean, you weren't you weren't too eager

55:11

about it. So, you

55:14

know, every episode of the show, I've

55:17

been ending with a, you know,

55:19

a last line from a motion picture. And

55:22

I tried to pick something that is

55:24

somewhat, you know, relevant

55:26

to the episode at hand.

55:29

And does anybody remember

55:31

the plot of the Michelle

55:34

Pfeiffer, Jeff Goldblum vehicle into

55:36

the night? Little bit.

55:39

Yeah. Mm hmm. Well, how would you

55:41

describe it? Like a like a paper

55:44

like a chase movie kind of.

55:47

Yeah. Romeo like chase

55:49

kind of intense a little bit

55:51

but like violent. A

55:54

little bit. It's kind of a thriller

55:56

comedy. Poison involved.

56:00

I don't remember Poison. I just remember, I think

56:02

a lot of people get shot. I think it's

56:04

got a strangely high body

56:06

count. A lot of

56:08

weird director cameos in it. Yeah,

56:11

well that's John Landis. The director was

56:13

really in his like, he loved having

56:16

other directors play speaking roles in his

56:18

movies. It got, like that was I

56:20

think one of the first ones where he did quite

56:23

a bit of that and then some

56:25

of his next movies are just

56:27

chock full of famous directors. It's

56:30

an interesting choice. But

56:36

yeah, basically I think like Jeff Goldblum's kind

56:38

of a little schlubby at the

56:40

beginning. You know, he's supposed to be kind of

56:42

nerdy and then he meets this devil may

56:44

care free spirit played by Michelle Pfeiffer

56:46

who like does things like just changes

56:48

her clothes right in front of them

56:51

and stuff like that. And he's

56:53

just sort of like, oh, and

56:57

he's in trouble for doing, he's got an

56:59

ex boyfriend that's terrible or something. And so

57:01

she's in trouble with some people. And there's,

57:04

I think espionage and drugs. And, you know, I

57:06

think Chad, you did a pretty good job of

57:09

describing it. But I'm going

57:11

to use the last line from that movie

57:16

as the closing line today.

57:18

Thank you again to

57:20

Jody Reeves, Doug Mellard and

57:23

Chad Opitz who will see

57:25

everybody back eventually

57:27

but Chad very soon. And

57:31

as always, did

57:33

I have a ride to the airport? Now

57:38

it's time for Doug to watch

57:40

another hockey. I just rolled

57:42

his viewing promise, big simp hockey.

57:44

There's no room in your heart

57:46

for you, cuz of the

57:48

food.
