- How well do you know your Lifetime?
- Let's talk about that.
(upbeat electronic music)
- Good Mythical Morning!
- We want to invite you to drink like us,
by getting this Good Mythical mug,
available at mythical.store.
- Yes, but today is International Women's Day.
(cheering and applauding)
And yes, as you can tell from the title,
we're gonna be celebrating that
by playing a game about real
or fake Lifetime movies.
But before anybody takes issue with that,
let me break it down,
Lifetime the channel not only focuses on women's stories,
but they put their money where their mouth is
by hiring women too.
In fact, from 1994 to 2016 an incredible 73%
of their original films were either directed
or written by women.
And get this when I-- (applauding)
Yeah, let's smack for that.
(applauding)
- We have a Lifetime executive over here.
- Yes we do.
And here's the thing-- - Not a sponsor.
- When I call my mom she is watching
a Lifetime movie 73% of the time.
(laughing)
But I don't think that applies to you, Link,
so I don't know how good you're gonna do at this game.
- Nope, nope.
- But we're calling it International Women's Day
is A Wife's time So We're Guessing If These
Movies Are From Lifetime.
Title written by Ellie.
Here's what we're gonna do, Link.
I am going to be telling you about a movie
and it's either a real lifetime movie,
- Okay. - or we made it up.
If you think it is real, you're gonna say Lifetime,
and if you think it is fake, you're gonna say Lie Crime.
(laughing)
- All right, Lie Crime.
- Yeah, you know it's a little bit of a stretch,
but I kind of like it,
it rhymes with Lifetime.
Here's the first one.
- I'm gonna spank you for lying.
- Please don't spank me.
(laughing)
- I shouldn't use this word--
- That's another Lifetime movie.
- I shouldn't use this accent.
- Lifetime after dark.
Due to a car accident that disfigured her face,
Allison Bevens is considered ugly, sad.
And after that, her degenerate gambler husband
murders her father, frames her for the crime,
and in prison she gets a shiv to the face,
which further disfigures her, really sad.
But in a twist of fate, this qualifies her
for an advanced facial reconstruction surgery.
Suddenly hot again, Allison plots revenge
by posing as a big money investor to ruin
her ex-husband's life.
Is revenge a dish best served with a facelift?
Find out in, a Face To Kill For.
- I thought it was gonna be called,
Suddenly Hot Again.
(laughing)
- A missed opportunity there.
- This just sounds way too gruesome,
to be Lifetime fare man, I mean she's getting
shivved in the face.
- Twice.
- Yeah, this is a Lie Crime man,
this is just, this is you being wicked.
- (sighs) Okay Link,
you're wrong.
(buzzing)
This is real, let's see the clip.
- What?
- [Voice On Intercom] Guard 17--
(grunting)
(screaming)
(panting)
- [Allison] You mark my words, I will be
the toughest businesswoman you ever saw.
- Allison Bevens, I'm a great admirer of yours.
- Have we met?
(laughing)
- I could've been the, played that role.
- [Both] Have we met?
- So convincing.
- 'Cause you're so hot in your face.
- Yeah, but you look nothing like you did.
- Um, wow, and that's an old one.
Lifetime movies go way back and they were more gruesome
than I think they are now.
- Yeah the whole story of that movie reminds
me of one of my favorite songs,
♪ If you're ugly and you know it ♪
♪ Stab your face ♪
(laughing)
Cheating just got easier with the help of AshlynMadelyn.com
a dating website devoted to people seeking
extramarital affairs, which is totally fictional
and any resemblance to cheating websites living or dead
is purely coincidental.

I was gonna watch that one.
If it were real.
- Ooh.
- But it might not be.
Ashlyn Maddie, Mada, Mado (mumbles)?
- Ashlyn Madelyn.
- I could see that they would,
they would do this.
'Cause it seems a little unoriginal.
I dunno, I think maybe they're riding the coattails.
I think that this also is true,
because uh,
I just feel it.
- Link, you shouldn't trust your feelings.
(buzzing)
Because you're wrong.
- Made this one up.
- This is a Lie Crime, but if it were real,
this would be the movie poster.
(laughing)
- [Link] Okay, that's me.
- How do you feel to be a big-headed cop?
(laughing)
- My head is a little bigger than--
- Yeah, I like that though.

Hey you guys, I don't like Jim.

- Right.
- Which makes me think that this
is definitely a Lifetime Movie.
But I'm so bad at this, I'm gonna say that you made it up.
- Link, that worked.
(bell dings) - Yes!
You made that up? - We did make it up.
And if it was real, this would be the movie poster.

Stop it Sam.

Do you mind pushing Maggie a while?
- No.
- Thanks.
Come on Sam.
(serene piano music)
(laughing)
- That is so bizarre.
- Yeah man.
- I mean it's the music, I mean it could easily
be a comedy if they'd just change that piano music.
- I think it's a comedy.
- Oh my gosh. - For me personally.
You know I have an invisible kid that
I use for the carpool lane.
(laughing)
Alright Link, what you're doing is working,
but it might be too late.
But you know what, if you get this last one right,
three in a row, I'm gonna do the monologue
as a punishment, okay?
- Okay, okay.

You made this one up.
