Owen Wilson Frantically Forgets All His Biggest Movie Taglines on ‘Hot Ones': ‘Ever Had Someone Get Zero?'
'Stick' star Owen Wilson had his focus (and tear ducts) tested by the Wings of Death in his 'Hot Ones' interview on Thursday.
Wilson was teary-eyed and grappling with the immediate effects of the show's most infamous hot sauce, Da Bomb Beyond Insanity, when he was asked by 'Hot Ones' host Sean Evans to guess movies from his filmography based on their taglines. Beforehand, he was warned that his 'Wedding Crashers' co-star, Vince Vaughn, managed to guess seven of his eight movies correctly when he faced the same challenge.
Things got off to a rocky start for Wilson, though, who failed right off the bat to guess 'Hall Pass' and 'The Royal Tenenbaums' from their taglines. 'It's pretty hot. I'm having a hard time focusing my brain,' Wilson admitted. 'Vince did seven out of eight, but have you ever had someone get zero? Maybe I go a different way. Someone's already carved out that territory.'
You can watch Wilson's full 'Hot Ones' interview yourself in the video below:
Wilson, unfortunately, did not manage to match Vaughn's 'Hot Ones' score, and reacted with shock more than a few times throughout the quiz, including when he found out that the tagline for 2006's 'Cars' was 'Adrenaline-fueled. Heart-warming. Triumphant.' He was similarly stumped when he was asked which of his films had the tagline, 'When you can't breathe, you can't scream.'
'Well, that sounds like 'Aliens,' but I wasn't in 'Aliens,' Wilson responded at first, before asking, 'Are you sure I was in this movie?' Evans quickly replied, 'Were you in 'Anaconda'?,' to which a surprised Wilson confirmed, 'Yes! Woah. And you're right. I couldn't scream when I got eaten by the snake.'
In the end, Wilson correctly guessed three out of the seven taglines that were thrown at him. While he could not nail 'Hall Pass,' 'The Royal Tenenbaums,' 'Cars' and 'Anaconda,' he did get the taglines right for 'Shanghai Noon,' 'Marley & Me' and 'Zoolander.' He may not, in other words, have topped Vaughn, but he did not do nearly as bad as he expected, either.
'It was tough, you know, making myself kind of [focus]. I was distracted by this last one,' Wilson said, while looking at the bottle of Da Bomb. 'My hands were sort of shaking.' He is, of course, far from the only 'Hot Ones' guest over the years who has been left reeling by that particular hot sauce.

Jake Paul beats Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., another over-the-hill former champ, with ease
For the second time in less than a year, Jake Paul battered a long-past-his-prime boxing champion from yesteryear. On Saturday night, Paul defeated Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. via unanimous decision (99-91, 97-93, 98-92) in front of an underwhelmed crowd at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif. The 10-round cruiserweight affair ended in Paul's sixth consecutive victory but did little to quell the notion that the YouTuber-turned-boxer is building his in-ring reputation with a fraudulent resume built on defeating big names many years removed from their heydays. Advertisement After needing little punching substance to defeat Mike Tyson in their November spectacle, Paul flashed on Saturday much of the same arsenal he's weaponized to disrupt the boxing world over the past five years: bluster on the mic, aggressive pressure in the opening rounds, and good enough footwork to tally another win, much to the frustration of another arena of fans. 'All the boos are words and action speak louder than words. So y'all can shut the f— up,' Paul said after Saturday's win, which improved his record to 12-1. 'It was flawless,' Paul said about his performance. 'I thought I did great going 10 rounds against a former world champion. He's in there with Canelo (Álvarez) and all these guys, and I embarrassed him like that.' Paul, 28, did not use his post-fight time on the mic to try and rekindle interest in a bout with Álvarez, but did call out a litany of present-day stars: Gilberto 'Zurdo' Ramirez, Anthony Joshua, Badou Jack and Gervonta Davis. 🤣🤣🤣😩😩😩 — Badou Jack (@BadouJack) June 29, 2025 Chavez spent the first half of Saturday's fight boxing like a man unaware he could also throw punches. He didn't land a single punch in the first round. The former WBC middleweight champion — who entered the night famous for sharing a name with his legendary father and for being cannon fodder for Álvarez in 2016— mustered up enough moments in the final rounds to bring the weary crowd to its feet. But overall, Chavez spent more time in the bout complaining to the ref about legal punches from Paul than Paul has spent boxing legitimate opponents in his career. 'Jake is a good boxer,' Chavez said after the loss, but later added, 'I don't think he's ready for the champions, but he's a good fighter.' Paul and Álvarez were rumored to have been nearing a bout agreement earlier this year before Álvarez pivoted to a four-fight deal with Riyadh Season in February. As part of that deal, Álvarez will battle undisputed champion Terence Crawford in a September megafight. Advertisement Paul and Davis were also reportedly in talks for an exhibition bout this fall, but those plans fell apart after Davis and Lamont Roach fought to a draw in March, prompting a rematch. The 39-year-old Chavez last fought in July 2024, defeating former MMA fighter Uriah Hall via unanimous decision, but has now lost four of his last seven bouts dating back to 2019, a stretch that includes a 2021 loss to former UFC champ Anderson Silva, who was making his boxing debut at the age of 46. Despite that, Paul told The Athletic before Saturday's fight that taking on Chavez showcased Paul's willingness to risk his growing reputation as a boxing draw. What remains to be seen is where Paul goes from here. Will he cash in on his reputation to book a megafight of his own? Or will his path continue to be paved with the names of faded former stars from decades prior? 'Everyone wants me to fight the toughest person in the world right now, and that will happen in the next 24 to 36 months,' Paul said weeks ago. 'But I do have room to improve as a fighter, and that's the journey that I'm on.'

Northern California's High Sierra Music Festival faces uncertain future amid low ticket sales
A long-running music festival in Northern California may be on the verge of its final act. The High Sierra Music Festival in Quincy is hoping for a last-minute boost in ticket sales ahead of next week's event. It's part of a nationwide trend, with festivals across the country seeing a drop in attendance. But organizers say they've come up with a few ways to bring the crowds back. "The High Sierra Music Festival is a very unique and extraordinary experience," said Dave Margulies, High Sierra Festival producer. For nearly 30 years, Margulies has helped bring the High Sierra Music Festival to life in Plumas County. Known for its bluegrass and acoustic sets and long weekend of camping, the three-day event has been a summer tradition at the Plumas County Fairgrounds since 1995. "It's a big, giant community that gathers every year, it's kind of like a family reunion," Margulies said. This year's festival runs from July 3-6. But organizers say ticket sales are at an all-time low. "We're hoping people rally and we get a big, big surge," Margulies said. Pre-pandemic, the festival used to draw 6,500 people. In the years that followed, 4,500. But with less than a week to go, they're at around 2,500. "Ever since the pandemic, we've seen a downturn in sales and I think a lot of events have seen downturns as well," Margulies said. Recent data shows festivals across the country saw a decline in music festival ticket sales between 2023 and 2024. Experts blame rising costs for tickets. High Sierra is now forced to provide 15% discounted tickets leading up to the festival, all in hopes of continuing it next year. "The value is off the charts, it adds up to about $5-$6 per band," Margulies said. They hope next week's mid-80s in Quincy may also entice people to escape the valley heat. If you'd like to get a ticket to the festival, their offering all tickets with a discount, just use the code 15SIERRA at checkout.
