From nineteen ninety, Tim Burton directed this film about the solitary life of an artificial man who was incompletely constructed and is upended when he is taken in by a suburban family. Named that film for question one, All right, Question number two, this is a little more recent as a decade old from twenty fourteen. Is the year this film came out. When a former hit man grieving the loss of his true love has his home broken into, he gets robbed and his dog killed.
He returns to action to exact revenge. Name that film for question number two. A Ken came out a decade ago when a former hit man grieving the loss of his true love has his home broken into, He's robbed and his dog killed. He returns to action to exact revenge.

Alvi Singer, a divorced Jewish comedian, reflects on his relationship with his ex lover, an aspiring nightclub singer, which ended abruptly, just like his previous marriages.

Question number four. This came out in two thousand for a listless, an alienated teenager helps his new friend win the class presidency in their small
western high school. I think it's in Idaho. It takes place while dealing with his bizarre family life back home, all right. Number five I think might be kind of a toughie of the bunch.

Heard of this?
Never, never seen that, never in my life.
There are a lot of Stephen King freaks out there, though, so they'll be like, ah, that's easy. But I think if you're not a Stephen King officionados it's a deeper cut for sure.

A flamboyant law firm secretary works tirelessly to gain justice for a small town wrecked by a utility company's pollution. Name that great film for question number six. It came out in two thousand.

Again, this isn't one that's bandied about as much as others. Question number seven again from ninety one, John Toturo plays a renowned New York playwright that is enticed to California to write for the movies and discovers the hellish truth of Hollywood and this Coen Brothers flick I would say it's an earlier Coen Brothers film.

The comedy albums were titled They're All Gonna Laugh at You? That was his first What the Hell Happened to Me? What's

Question number five of nine and the double duty. We're talking about eighties and nineties comedy. Dave Chappelle, Rosie O'Donnell Martin, Lawrence Ray Romano, Dennis Miller, and Sindbad are just some of the stand ups that
appeared on What TV Talent Show. Number five, Dave Chappelle, Rosie O'Donnell Martin, Lawrence Ray Romano, Dennis Miller, and Sinbatter just some of the stand ups that appeared on What TV Talent Show. All right, Question number six, I think is kind of a deeper cut. But we'll see if either of your eyes light up when I read it.
Question number six, we're talking about an eighties movie. What Eighties Flick had a big cast, including comedians Marshall Warfield, Bill Maher, Paul Rodriguez, Bob Zumuda as well as mister T. This is a deep cut. You probably you probably rented this from your local video store. What Eighties Flick had a big cast, including comedians Marshall Warfield, Bill Maher, Paul Rodriguez, Bob Zamuda as well as mister T. It's an eighties movie featuring mister T. It's not Rocky three. Mister T
was in a lot of stuff. It's kind of a deeper cut comedy from the nineteen eighties.
It was Bob Zamuda, mister T.
Okay, Yeah, Bob's Muda, mister T. Paul Rodriguez, Bill Maher is hilariously in the movie. Marsha Warfield. Yeah, all right, question number seven. We're down to our final three questions here in the double duty Question number seven, The Larry Sanders Show is arguably the best sitcom of all time in one of HBO's best shows. That's my opinion. But
that's saying something. But can you name either character played by Rip Torn or Jeffrey Tambour on that great show, The Larry Sanders Show, Gary Schandling, can you name either of the characters played by Rip Torn or Jeffrey Tambour, two of the funniest characters, maybe in all of TV? For question number seven, what.
Was Jeffrey Tambour's like saying?
Hey?
Now?
What does that sign say? Applesauce?
Just kidding?
Its applause? The Larry Sanders Show is arguably the best sitcom of all time in one of HBO's best show opinions. In my opinion, only Jackie's Jackie says it's dream on or arless? You really like arless for something less? She's a big Robert woolffan wolf. Let me repeat that question. The Larry Sanders Show is arguably the best sitcom of all time. That's my opinion. But can you name either
character played by Rip Torn? Who plays the produced producer or Jeffrey Tambore that plays kind of the Ed McMahon character on the show. Hey Now, no flipping for number seven, and then there were two. Question number eight, What was the name of the charity specials hosted by Billy Crystal, will Be Goldberg and Robin Williams to raise awareness for those suffering from poverty? I think it started in the
mid eighties. Was the name of the charity specials? I think they were on HBO hosted by Billy Crystal, will Be Goldberg and Robin Williams to raise awareness for those suffering from poverty? What was the name of those specials? I'm not taking it easy on you, guys.
No, this is a.
Tricky this is deep. This is deep comedy knowledge where you're both like two of the funnier people I've ever met. So I'm going deep cuts. I'm not taking it easy.
But we were both unconscious in the nineties.
They really liked to take naps sweetly zonked.
No, I'm kidding. Mostly just do another thing.
Yeah, all right. Question number nine again, I don't think this is an easy question. Can you name either of the Saturday Night Live actresses that portrayed the Singing Sweeney Sisters hilarious duo the Sweeney Sisters. Can you name either of the Saturday Night Live actresses that portrayed the Singing Sweeney Sisters?
Lang Lang Lang the true.

Let's go over our answers for the Theodore double doty Radcliff round. Today we're talking about eighties and nineties comedy. Question number one was what Carol Burnett alum starred as the title character on the TV show Mama's Family. Emily, I just wrote down, Bilma. I want to give you at least a point for that.
That's really great. Christian, did it come to you?
Vicky Lawrence?
Vicky Lawrence? The correct answer is Vicky Lawrence. Two huge points for Christian.
My gosh, I forgot it was a double duty Radcliffe. Thank god you reminded me.
Yep, this is double points here. This is this just got even more interesting after one question. Question number two, we're talking about the movie Friday. Can you name any of the following characters from Friday played by Chris Tucker or Bernie Mack or Faison Love Christian.
I just can't remember what his name he had that he had like a one word name. I just can't remember what it was. It was like it was like I can't remember, I can't remember, but I know it was one word.
This will be one of those groaners when I reveal the answers, Emily, did you come up with an answer?
I want to say Bernie Mac played a preacher, but I might have that backwards. I also want to just say the words Deebo, big Worm and Craig, because I know.
None of them are correct, but at least I know I know characters. I just don't know those ones.
So are you picking one of those?
Deebo?
If I had to pick one? But I think that's wrong.
Oh my god, I.
Was trying to think of that's it right?
I don't know your answers here your answers. Tiny Lister played Deebo the Bully. Oh okay, Chris Tucker played Smoky.
Sma woky Okay, of course.
Of course, smoking the whole time, smoking those blunds smoky smoke. You were right that Bernie Mack played a preacher. It was Pastor Cleaver. It's Bernie Mack's character in that. And you did mention Faison Love's character's name. He he sold chili cheese FreeDOS to the town kids on the the You know the snack truck was big Worm. It was big Worm. Oh damn big Perm. I was trying to get you to say big Worm as your answer. I will shoot, We'll see, we'll see how charitable I feel.
But I feel like I name my dog after that movie what's your Dog's name?
Or not? Our dog's name is Friday. And I'm just I'm retroactively saying that.
So you're lying.
You are.
You're a big fat, strong connection of a strong connection.
If you're playing at home, if you put smoky Pastor Cleaver or big Worm, give yourselves two points question number three, they're all going to laugh at you. What the hell happened to me? What's your Name? And Stan and Judy's Kid are four comedy albums in the nineteen nineties. For what comedian and actor Emily.
Don't even have a Guess? It's crazy how much I don't have guess.
Don't even have Brooks.
I don't Albert Brooks.
Why not Christian what did you put?
I was torn. I was torn here because it was one of two people. But I'm gonna say.
Stephen right, Steven right, Great guess. Correct answer is none other than Adam Sandler. Adam Sandler had huge comedy albums in the nineteen nineties, had four of them in the decade. Yeah, the one I remember, They're all going to laugh at you, I think was the first one, and that one just destroyed me. I thought it was one of.
The greatest Godfather joke with a little mini horse.
That was that That, like, was one of the best jokes I've ever heard when laughter Comedy Central. I saw him on Comedy Central do that joke, and it was just I just never had heard someone do it like that.
So no harm, no fault. But it is Adam Sandler for number three. I think we're back at it with number four. Can you name all three actresses as well as the actor who played the shitty boss in the great film nine five, Christian.
Belly Parton, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dabney Coleman.
Great guesses, Emily, what did you put?
Well?
Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, and I didn't have a guess for the fellow with a thick mustache.
Oh my god, we're gonna give Christian two points. We'll give Emily one. She got three out of four. But it is Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and the late great Dabney Coleman. I think he passed. Did he pass? My saying late great without him?
It was amazing. I love him.
Oh he's so good in everything, and he's so great playing such a dick.
Hey he's still alive. He's ninety two.
Wow.
No, I'm so sorry.
Google to take you down.
Google's remember the new AI and Google like they don't know anything.
You know anything?
Dabney.
You know what's confusing because it said ninety two years old, twenty twenty four. So I was like, oh my gosh, he's still here. He actually died May sixteenth of this year.
Okay, so well recently ninety two? Really on a roller coaster, Jackie, He's no yet. No, that was fun.
You can spend this evening realizing how much we missed.
Yes, and what a great name. I always use that as just a weird name reference because Dabney is just you don't there's not a lot of Dabneys anymore. Oh no, no, I don't think there was Dabney's before him either. It's just an interesting name. Question number five, Dave Chappelle, Rose O'donald Martin, Lawrence Ray Ramono, Dennis Miller, and Sinbad are just some of the stand ups that appeared on What TV Talent Show?
Emily.
I think this is going to be wrong because it's not the right format, but I'm going to say premium.
Blend, Premium blend, Christian, what did you put?
Star Search?
Oh, our returning champ, Christian Dugue gets three and three quarters stars. It is Star Search hosted by Ed McMahon. Yeah, I guess Sindbad actually went up against Dennis Miller and beat him in a combo, which is just awesome that they faced off against each other. But yeah, tons of Brad Garrett, there was just there. The list was I could have gone on for like six or seven more people. It was like a lot of famous people. Tommy Davidson, it was crazy. All appeared on Star Search with Ed McMahon.
Question number six, What eighties Flick had a big cast, including comedians Marsha Warfield, Bill Maher, Paul Rodriguez, Bob's Muda as well as mister T. Christian you got anything?
I took a stab? Cannonball run two.
Ooh, that's great guess. Cannonball run to Emily, what did you put?
I also took a stab, which is one of the naked.
Both great guesses. I don't know if you've ever heard of this movie. If you haven't, my apologies, but it was about a taxi company and it was called d C Cab DC Cab.
That's a deep one. Miss.
That is maybe the deepest of cuts that I've ever done. But if you watch it VHS, yeah, that is like you find that at a gas station for like ninety nine cents on one of those things that spins around. Yeah, but check out d C Cab if you want to see Bill Maher and mister T in the same movie in the like early early to mid eighties. Question number seven, The Larry Sanders Show, one of my favorite shows of
all time. Can you name either of these characters? Uh played by Rip torn who played the producer, or Jeffrey Tambore that played the Ed McMahon type character. Do you remember their character names at all?
Emily, I am inspired to rewatch it, but I do not have lots of uh uh Larry Sanders trivia at my fingertips.
I'm gonna go ahead and just any answer I don't know.
Say al, al, great, guess Al Christian, what did you put Hank? Hank so rip Torn played Artie or Arthur the producer, so fucking funny, and then Jeffrey Tambor played Hank Kingsley. Hank Kingsley, So Hank gets the two points.
I was thinking herb for so long and that I remember Hank.
Yeah, God, damn it, Hank, it is Hank Kingsley for number seven. Question number eight, what was the name of the charity specials? Hosted by Billy Crystal, Whoopee Goldberg and Robin Williams. They did it for many years. It was to raise awareness for those suffering from poverty to the did the name come to you? Christian Comic relief, Comic relief, Emily, what did you put?
Comic relief?
Correct and moon to I think that's a tough question. You nail that it is comic relief for.
I was like, no, what was it? Yeah? Comedy something?
I remember people had like sweat shirts or T shirts that they would sell to the ter Raise Mighty or whatever, and I remember like people I just grew up with, like even having just shwag from Comic Relief Question nine. It could come down to this final question. I feel like the scores are very close. Can you name either of the SNL actresses that portrayed the Singing Sweeney sisters Emily Maya Mills? What do you got?
I don't have it.
It sucks because it's on It's on the tip of my brain and this port I just and she didn't get renewed because she protested the appearance of what's.
His face Andrew Dice Clay.
Clay so super crazy that she was the only person who was like, no, yeah. They all were like, hey, we go to we get a job, yea work. Yeah, I'm gonna it's like just escaping me. And I know I'm going to say Nancy something. I Nancy Linda, Nancy Linda.
Nancy Linda, one of my favorites, Christian, did you put Nancy Linda as well?
Oh? Jan Hooks and nor done?
Noora done, Jan Hooks and Nora done. Christian got them both. That is the wonderful Jan Hooks, who I think is still one of like top ten people to ever be on SNL and uh yeah, Nora done in that role, so goddamn good. Oh my god, I think this got real interesting. Jackie's got a big shitt eating grin on our face. Jackie, what is our final score between these two?
Hold on, I'm just when we swallowing my shit that I'm eating your breath stating to you, Wow, what this is why we like this game? Anything goes, anything can happened.

Over the final throwdown.
Jackie, what is our final throwdown for the day?
Chis the season for a baseball question?
All right?
Which MLB player was the first to hit a home run in six consecutive World Series games?
Who was the first player to hit a home run in six consecutive World Series games? Who was the first player to do it?
Who's the first player to do it? Freddie Freeman.
I was going to say it was recent, but.
It does give away something because I only saw the first one in this game.
In this game, but I think he's chasing someone's I don't know.
He definitely has five, so you could be right, but there he might be chasing someone like you're right.
I'm gonna I'm gonna guess just for fun because it sounds right. Jose can secutay.
In Dako consecutive.
Consecutive. If Jose canseikoh, great, guess Freddie Freeman. I'm trying to think of anybody else like old school that played in the World Series a lot, like a Babe Ruth or a Yogi bearra that was like played so many World Series games, Daryl Stronger, that's really good. I'm gonna go it's wrong, but I'll go, Babe Bruce, we have Babe Ruth, Freddie Freeman, and Jose consecutive Kenseko Jackie. What is our answer?
I do want to preface this with I wrote this like before we started the game and before we started talking about spoilers and whatnot. Is Freddy freeven?
But I saw the stat they saw the stat that he was the first one to ever get the.
Fine saw it right that much.
You know you because you haven't watched a second, you didn't watch before we watched it was that it was that one, that that one was.
The same I thought that was I thought that was the fifth one. That was the sixth one.
That was the sixth one.
And so five consecutive games, six consecutive home runs.
Right, consecutive World Series games because he did it with another team, the Braves.
Yeah, the frame first, the first four and the last two when they the Braves won, and the first four here, that's pretty in cract. Six World Series games with a home run because he was scuffling coming into the World Series and then he just pop pop rocked it out and look at this time were perfect for our out time and everything. Audible can't thank you both enough. This was a great game. And yeah, I hope to see you in real life, real soon.
So fun.
