Two movies titled Mr. Right enter, only one will leave (with its title) as Herman Davis and Robert Rau watch Anna Kendrick fall for a charming contract killer and Columbus Short fulfill rich lady fantasies to determine which one should be called Mr. Right.

First up is a movie starring Columbus Short (Scandal) and Erica Tazel (Justified), and clearly made to launder mob money. This version is surprisingly cuss-free, but not aimed at a religious crowd. Sure, the website used for all romantic interactions is called Mr. Right, giving the movie a leg up on the competition, but that’s it. Robert and Herman do devolve into a hissy fit on how women view dating these days, and is particularly amusing since Robert is a soulless husk of a human being.

Second up is a well-produced, charmingly acted, yet largely ignored action comedy starring Anna Kendrick and Sam Rockwell. Some of the conversations do border on the annoying, but not enough to say this film isn’t entertaining. This movie will find a crowd on VOD, but is that enough of a reason to keep the title? Listen if you dare.

In this special edition of “There Can Be Only One,” Herman Davis and Robert Rau complete a questionnaire and watch Bruce Lee’s The Big Boss for the right to watch movies 24 hours straight in Austin.

If you’ve never heard of Butt-Numb-A-Thon, it is a 24 hour movie festival for the birthday of Harry Knowles, founder of Aint It Cool. And since only 200 people can go, he makes everyone fill out a survey to determine if you’re worthy of attending. Robert has done this twice, and convinces Herman that this will be fun, so they answer the questions and watch Bruce Lee’s The Big Boss, because that’s one of the questions. Herman and Robert also dress up as idiots, which you can see in the featured image.

In case you’re curious, here are the entire list of questions and the movie lists from previous years.

 

We’ll get back to serious movie business in the next episode.

Two movies titled Drive enter, only one will leave (with its title) as Herman Davis and Robert Rau watch the star of Iron Chef America and the coolest Scorpion jacket battle to determine which film should be called Drive.

There have been plenty of decent movies up for vote, but Mark Dacascos’ Drive caught Herman and Robert completely off guard. Funny, action-packed, and a touch insane, it is a great movie to watch with others at one and a quarter speed on Youtube. The movie does have a lack of driving going on, which does hurt its chances on keeping the title. Also, Robert is a dummy who can’t remember Monica Bellucci’s name.

Second up is the coolest of cool movies from a few years ago, starring Ryan Gosling and a jacket only he can pull off. Sure, 45 minutes of this Drive is pretty boring, and Herman and Rob fast forwarded a bit, but it does have the benefit of being more about driving than the 1997 competitor. Will that be enough for this Drive to beat out its contemporary? Listen if you dare.

Two movies titled Trespass enter, only one will leave (with its title) as Herman Davis, David Vitrano, and Robert Rau watch Ice-T and Ice Cube battle a goofy Bill Paxton — and then a somewhat reserved Nic Cage — to determine which film should be called Trespass.

There’s plenty to like about the 90’s Trespass, probably because it’s directed by the always adequate Walter Hill. He’s made 48 Hours, Brewster’s Millions, The Warriors, and tons of other good movies. This also good movie is supposed to be a modern retelling of The Treasure of Sierra Madre, where Ice-T and Ice Cube are giving Real World-style confessionals.

But the word “good” cannot explain whatever Nicholas Cage, Nicole Kidman, and a bunch of dummy criminals were doing. Made five years ago for $35 million and grossing around $25,000, Joel Schumacher’s Trespass is an utter mess, but it does have the advantage of being about a group of people trespassing on someone’s property. Will that be enough to keep the title, or can a quality movie prevail? Listen if you dare.

Two movies titled Bait enter, only one will leave (with its title) as Herman Davis and Robert Rau watch Jamie Foxx mug it up for a couple of hours and bad CGI Aussie sharks to determine which film should be called Bait.

First up is a 2000 film Robert did not realize he’s already seen. Nothing against Jamie Foxx or his comedic presence, but his movie is pretty forgettable. But we aren’t here to criticize, just to make sure these movies deserve their title. And for a movie that could of been called Lure or Tapped, director Antoine Fuqua wanted to make sure the name Bait stuck by including it a bunch of times in the movie.

Second up was a 2012 Australian thriller with that guy who played Dr Doom. Considering it was a big hit in China, will it have enough popularity to beat out an OK Jamie Foxx movie? Listen if you dare.

Two movies titled Hush enter, only one will leave (with its title) as Herman Davis and Robert Rau watch Jessica Lange try to steal Gwyneth Paltrow’s baby and a Netflix exclusive horror movie to determine which one should be called Hush.

First up is a 1998 thriller that soooo wanted to be The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, but with a PG-13 edge. Jessica Lange is a controlling mother and really wants a grandchild, but is settling for Gwyneth Paltrow and all her helicopter parent nonsense. While silly, and toothless, the real problem is the lack of not talking in the movie. Why call this Hush if no one shuts up?

Now, the second movie had a better idea. Starring a woman who can’t hear (not for reals, because acting) and featuring only four actors, there’s less than 15 minutes of actual dialog in the movie. Will this be enough to sway our crew into making a VHS classic change the box art? Listen if you dare.

Two movies titled No Escape enter, only one will leave (with its title) as Herman Davis and Robert Rau watch Owen Wilson throw a child and Ray Liotta play a poor man’s Bruce Willis to determine which one deserves to be called No Escape.

The 2015 thriller has just been released on DVD, and seemed like a perfect candidate to go up against a cable classic. Based on the previews of a family unwittingly moving to a coup-riddled country, Herman and Robert didn’t think this No Escape stood a chance, but turned out to be a decent movie.

The second movie is one Robert is very familiar with, focusing on the near future of 2022 and a peninsula used to throw away unwanted prisoners. Despite having a Bond-esque villain and a death row little person, Herman did find this movie a bit long. Will this be enough to change the title of the 1994 movie, or will the newer version have to update its poster? Listen if you dare.

Two movies titled The Box enter, only one will leave (with its title) as Herman Davis, Kindal Duffy, and Robert Rau watch a Gabrielle Union crime thriller and the last movie Richard Kelly ever made to determine which one deserves to be called The Box.

Both of these movies were new to us, and, chances are, to most of you. The big advantage is neither movie seemed like it was going to be more interesting than the other, which can ruin a double feature. The first one we watched was from 2007 and starred a post “Bring it On” Gabrielle Union as a disgraced cop trying to solve a multiple homicide. The most obvious flaw is the movie had no actual boxes, just metaphorical boxes.

Next up was a spin on a classic Twilight Zone episode done by the guy who made Donnie Darko. Would you press a button, randomly killing someone just to make a million dollars? And that’s 1976 dollars, which — thanks to the internet — we know is $4.2 million. It does help the movie actually had a box, fulfilling the title, but is that enough to beat out a mediocre crime thriller? Listen if you dare.

Two movies titled Frozen enter, only one will leave (with its title) as Herman Davis, Andrea Vickery, Zach Vickery, and Robert Rau watch Herman’s favorite musical and a “Ewwww, nononononono” horror film to determine which movie is Frozen.

All four participants had already seen the Disney film — some of them more than 30 times — while no one had seen the horror movie. So in preparation for Herman’s sing-a-long, we watched the 2010 horror movie filled with bad decisions and unlikable stars. Not only are these three people just awful, it’s hard to believe how they managed to live as long as they had in the first place. Frozen(2010) does have the advantage of being incredibly gross, so much so Robert left the room several times to think happy thoughts.

Good thing Disney movies are great at washing unpleasantness right out of your head. Both movies do feature snow and people suffering from hypothermia, but Disney does have the advantage of someone actually freezing. Will that be enough for the Disney film to keep the title? Listen if you dare.

Two movies titled The Program enter, only one will leave (with its title) as Herman Davis and Robert Rau watch a football movie that totally isn’t about Florida State and a Sheryl Crow-less Lance Armstrong biopic to determine which movie is The Program.

Being two dudes, Herman and Rob like dude things, and that includes sports movies. Since the Lance Armstrong doping scandal movie is available on Amazon Prime, and someone figured out how to upload the other one to Youtube with Spanish subtitles, this seemed like a nice break from the unwatchable movies Herman has had to endure.

This might be the first time both movies tried to say their title at least 20 times. The ’90s college football movie constantly talked about how they needed to work around all the bad stuff in order to help “The Program.” And instead of calling it “Needle Party,” Lance Armstrong referred to his endless cheating as “The Program.” This also gave Herman a chance to break out his hot take on using Lance as a first name.

Which movie will keep the title The Program? Listen if you dare.
