Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky baby sips, he sees with 50 acid popcorn kernels in his teeth, there's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies!
Hey, hey, hey everybody! My name's Doug and I love movies!
This is Doug Loves Movies!
That's exactly what I expected,
is there's a handful of folks here
that are Doug Loves Movies fans,
but then there's also a lot of people here
that enjoy a web series called High Maintenance.
That's right.
And as part of this very special Doug Loves Movies,
we are going to show the next three episodes from High Maintenance,
which I believe are available to the world for some money starting tomorrow,
Wednesday, February 5th.
So we'll put this podcast out tomorrow.
Get the word out.
High Maintenance has been around for a while,
and some of the folks involved in that show
and some of the regulars from Doug
Loves Movies are going to be up on stage here
in a minute. Of course, we're coming
to you once again from CineFamily
in the Fairfax District of Los
Angeles in the year 2015
on February
for weddings and a funeral.
You guys,
what else do I have to mention before I get this thing going?
Oh, San Francisco, I'm interrupting Twilight, Breaking Dawn, uh, part one and part two this
weekend.
Uh, yeah, one after the other on two different days at 420 at the beautiful Castro Theater
that does not deserve such a thing.
And, uh, go to sfsketchfest.com for your tickets.
And, oh, did I mention that they're both at 420?
They're both at 420.
There you go.
All right, from the corrections department,
two days, one night is Belgian, not French.
Get it together, you guys.
Sounds like they're talking French to me.
We got a prize bag.
Did people bring name tags tonight?
Do we have some name tags in the audience?
We got an orange in the front row.
Kind of a name tag.
Okay, we got a few.
Okay, that's all we need is we need at least four,
and it looks like we got them,
because we're going to give away uh all the stuff in this prize bag there's a of course if you listen to douglas movies you know that we give away schmovie the hilarious game of
outlandish films i've never played it it seems difficult to me and then uh we've got a uh oh
i'll we'll have when the guest gets out here, we'll talk about that.
These things are pretty cool.
We got one of my records, I think, is in here,
and a lighter from Chameleon Glass,
and, oh, it looks like a coffee mug.
This is fun, reaching around and feeling what these things are.
Some cool Douglas Movies buttons.
But let's get our guests out onto the stage,
and then we'll
proceed to play some games to give away this prize bag.
Let's give a big, warm CineFamily welcome to the creators and directors and writers
and one of the stars of High Maintenance, Katja Blitschfeld and Ben Seclair.
Along with comedians Seth Herzog and Kurt Braunohler.
All right.
What a lineup.
I love a well-lit stage.
Yeah.
Let's people see what's happening up here.
Keep it at low lumens, guys.
We don't want to burn out the world, right?
It does just sort of feel like they're trying to show a movie and we're insisting on sitting up here.
Yeah, in front of it.
Because all the lights are mostly coming from the projection booth.
It's just 30 candles
and a really nice mirror.
It's kind of a moody setup.
It's hard for me
to read my notes.
But first to speak,
winner of the Pete Holmes Award,
it's Kurt Braunhaler, everybody.
I have to tell you,
I almost just grabbed the mic
and went, woo!
Just to win.
I almost did it.
Getting the Pete Holmes Award isn't winning.
No, it's not.
Yeah, it's my way of saying,
why are you speaking before I've even spoken to you?
And yet here we are, and there you are,
back after your amazing performance on this show
in Austin, Texas a few days ago,
where you could not name,
after only
a couple of them had been named
a film with Dustin Hoffman in it.
Could not name a single one.
Can you name one now?
I said Cadillac Man.
I stick
by it. I think maybe he should have been
in it.
Seems like he could have, but that was a
forgive the expression, that was a
Robin Williams vehicle.
Cadillac man was?
I thought, oh man.
And Tim Robbins.
What was the one where the guy, he
Rain Man you're thinking of?
He drives a Cadillac and he's a lawyer.
He's a guy from The Hangover.
Oh, the Cadillac dude.
Yeah, what's it called, the Cadillac?
It's Matthew McConaughey. Matthew McConaughey. Oh, the Cadillac dude? Yeah, what's it called? The Cadillac. It's Matthew McConaughey.
Matthew McConaughey.
Oh, you mean the Lincoln lawyer?
The Lincoln lawyer.
That's what I was thinking of.
I love that they're only...
Is Hoffman in that?
No.
All right.
And they're 30 years apart.
Both not in it.
Still.
All right, well,
second place in the Pete Holmes contest
is our friend Seth Herzog, everybody.
Yeah.
Thank you for that smattering.
Thank you.
Four of you.
Seth came in second place, was the runner-up
in the Big 12 Guests of Christmas episode
on the East Coast, East Coast edition last December.
And he's still smarting from that loss a little bit.
I'm a little angry about it,
because I think I was unfairly robbed by Rob yeah a dude named Rob
Cantrell you Rob Cantrell which is to show you I think he barely answered
anything anyone he just lucked it just survived out you got us just stay out of
the way you'll see how Kurt does it later yeah that's gonna be my idea of this tonight. I can't even say the plan.
My plan?
My schedule.
My schedule.
It's a British...
That's your schedule?
It's my British scheme for this.
All right, Pete.
Settle down.
Seth.
Yeah.
Seth is in town because he is one of the behind-the-scenes geniuses at the very fun version of The Tonight Show hosted by Jimmy Fallon.
That we're doing here.
And they're doing it out in Los Angeles all week.
Yeah.
All sorts of crazy shit.
I saw Drew Barrymore doing the Dirty Dancing dance with Jimmy.
Yeah, we have some amazing stuff.
I could maybe give you a little sneak peek tonight.
Don't talk about it.
I mean, this show really needs some help
in the ratings and virally.
So anything you can do to promote it.
Or don't say anything until after
11 o'clock, 11.30 Eastern time,
which is in like an hour, apparently.
We're having a
Saved by the Bell reunion.
Don't say anything!
Everybody but the jailbird!
He Skyped in.
No, he didn't. He Skyped in. From prison?
To the show for prison. He was wearing the Screech outfit.
I'm totally kidding.
It would never, ever have happened.
Why?
Skype in prison?
Prison's so much better than I expected.
I love that's where your head was at.
There's no, no.
That's all prisoners want is for the outside world to see their face.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I wish I could Skype somebody.
Prison wouldn't be so bad if I had Skype.
I could show them what it looks like.
Yeah.
Some prisons have Google Talk.
But...
You brought some amazing Tonight Show swag.
You brought this pillow that would be perfect for somebody tonight
in one of the couches or regular seats or it's in a family.
Just enjoy this pillow that my face has touched.
Those are rare.
You can't buy them on the store.
I went to Disneyland the other day, by the way,
so you probably don't want to touch this.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You get some...
I heard you could get measles at Disneyland, so I went.
Yep.
How'd it go?
I wanted a reason to sue Disneyland.
Why are they still open if you can get measles?
It's the best time
to go on the rides, though.
We actually went and
nobody was there.
And we were like, this is fucking awesome.
If you're vaccinated, get
in there, guys.
It's only the dum-dums who aren't vaccinated.
Apologies for introducing the lady last,
but that was Ben Sinclair with the observation about...
Can I make another observation?
Measles in Disneyland, please.
The energy really changed when we were standing right over there to here.
Like, it's so different now.
It's just like we were off right over there to hear like it's so different now. It's just like we were
off to the races and I was like oh my god
is this happening? And it is.
He's not playing
a character apparently
in that web series.
Not tonight I guess.
And Katya
Blitchfeld is here.
Right?
What?
Blickfeld.
God damn it.
It's all right.
I focused so hard on the Katya,
I made sure I got that right,
and then didn't even ask you,
because you introduced yourself as Katya,
and you didn't warn me about Blickfeld.
Sorry.
But it's all good,
because you
created this show, High Maintenance,
that we're going to see three episodes of
with your husband right here, Ben.
And it's something you guys did
because you just wanted to make
something good and do it on the
weekends? That's the story we're telling.
And did you decide to be a
you play the guy,
he doesn't have a name, but you deliver weed in Brooklyn. And did you decide to be a, you play the guy, he doesn't have a name, but you deliver weed in Brooklyn.
And did you decide to do that because you just get a lot of exercise riding around on a bike all weekend whenever you shoot one of these things?
Well, obviously not, but.
You think you're out of shape.
He has dysmorphia, don't mind him.
I have severe dysmorphia and my character will have severe dysmorphia and you'll be like, oh my god, that guy
has dysmorphia? I wouldn't have
expected that.
Well, these people will now, but everyone
else will be surprised. Well, I'm still gonna do it.
And yes, what was the question?
Yeah, I don't remember anymore.
I don't know. I mean, I'm high,
but did you guys get high in the back? Yeah, we did too.
Okay, good. And the energy was much calmer.
You guys know.
So you're not used to...
I was there, yeah, yeah.
I'm still feeling it.
A lot of performers don't want to do it high.
You know, they don't want to go on a show like this when they're high.
I mean, I do all the time, but you're experiencing what a lot of people don't want to go on a show like this when they're high. I mean, I do all the time, but you're experiencing, you know,
what a lot of people don't want to have happen.
No, I'm...
Right now, I'm cool.
Yeah, right now...
Okay, you're enjoying it.
The heartbeat matched the frequency of what was going on,
but before, it was really like, oh, shit.
Put it right here.
Well, things are about to get a little crazier, Ben, because a prop from tonight's show with Jimmy Fallon
was stolen by Seth Herzog.
And do you want to tell them what it is before I flip it around?
Kobe Bryant is on the show tonight, if you watch.
And Jimmy and Kobe hung out.
He's even on the show if you don't watch.
No, he's not.
If Kobe's on and nobody sees, is he really on?
Exactly.
He's not on if you don't see it.
We've probably assembled probably the only people in Los Angeles
who don't give a shit about the Lakers.
Yeah.
In one room.
I could really care less.
They're all in one room tonight.
That's what makes this prop even more worthless.
Apparently before they were famous,
they hung out at a party and they have this funny story
they tell about it on the show
when they were like 22.
So it was 1996, 1995.
So they put up a picture
of what they looked like in 1995.
That was pretty funny.
So that was used on the show.
And that's going to be in the prize bag.
Somebody gets this.
And it's like a one of a kind.
You can't go home and make that on the computer.
And a Tonight Show
with Jimmy Fallon mug.
Which goes good with the pillow.
Less enthusiasm for the mug
than there was for the art card you could make.
I did it in the wrong order, really.
I should have closed with the pillow, I think.
I think that's the most exciting item,
to be honest with you.
Because nobody cares about Kobe in here.
No.
Unless it's beef.
Have you been to the movies lately?
Kurt, I know I asked you this three days ago.
I saw Schizopolis.
Why?
What?
That's an amazing movie.
Who's in it?
Schizopolis, that was...
Come on, his name is what?
Soderbergh.
Soderbergh's second movie.
So after all the money you made off of Sex, Lies, and Videotape,
he just made this movie, and it's so crazy. If you haven't seen it,
you would love it. It's insane.
It's just a bunch of crazy, insane
shit all mashed together.
Was his third movie the one in black and white with Jeremy Irons?
That wasn't his first one.
Sex, Lies, and Video tape was his first one.
Anyway.
I thought we were at CineFamily.
I thought people would know.
What about you, Seth? Have you been
to the movies? I haven't been to the movies.
You've been super busy with Jimmy. I've been very busy.
I really don't have a ton of time.
I saw, I had
a bunch of, you know, screeners people
I took from them. I stole from their
homes. And I
saw the, you know,
God.
One of the ones where there's a young guy
in England playing an older dude.
Up.
One of the biopics.
Up.
It's Up.
I saw Up.
Those actors in Up fucking kill it, don't they?
It's so good.
The balloons are really convincing.
That dog kills it.
The one, the
wheelchair guy.
Theory of everything.
Theory of everything.
You're already getting this audience
to yell out answers, which is
probably going to be a bad thing when we start
playing the game.
Yeah, don't do that.
Theory of everything was fun.
That's correct. Theory of everything.
We might have a new mic coming in
or we're just fixing yours, Seth.
Seth is such a pro, he didn't even
notice his mic is going in and out.
No, I noticed.
Then you're even more of a pro than I thought.
It's just a new piece of tape
replacing the old piece of tape.
There's nothing like new tape, man.
Fixed it up.
It's going to be tight. That's high tech. It's like, we don't have a new cord or new mic, like new tape, man. Fixed it up. It's going to be tight. That's high tech.
It's like we don't have a new cord or new mic, just new tape.
New gaffer.
All right, so Soderbergh's second movie was what I was talking about with Jeremy Irons
is in black and white.
It's called Kafka.
All right, when's Schizopolis?
And then Schizopolis is movie number five in his career.
Close enough.
You reverse a five, it's a two.
I'm sorry, it's his sixth movie. It's his sixth movie. God damn it five, it's a two. I'm sorry.
It's his sixth movie.
It's his sixth movie.
God damn it.
Divide it by three.
It's his second.
He started in 89, and he did that one in 97.
And he does all different genres.
He's got an interesting career.
I think one of my favorites that he ever did
was King of the Hill, which is his third film.
Yeah, it's really good.
And like the child actors that are in it,
they're all still in stuff, you know?
That's how good they were.
I can't believe
I didn't show you guys this yet.
I'm upset. What Kurt brought for
the prize bag,
is that the right way or the other way?
Well, you show it that way and see if people want it the other way.
It's this way.
Oh, sorry.
Look at that.
Yeah, he just took a painting off of his wall that his wife doesn't like.
My wife, I've put that up.
My wife.
And since I put it up, she's like, what are we, live at the fucking ocean?
What are we?
What are we?
That's like the third painting that's like that of waves that I have.
And she's like, I didn't choose any of these.
I don't live here.
You're just like, we don't have any windows.
So I put paintings up of waves.
So I took it off the wall and I was like, do you mind if I give this away?
She'd be like, I would be so excited.
Where did you get that?
I got this at the Rose Bowl flea market.
Yeah.
I think it costs like $5, I think.
$5 value.
Yeah.
But a beautiful painting of a nice wave.
And it looks like the world's ending in the background.
Yeah.
Like it's a nuclear winter and there's a few more tasty waves to go around.
Spicoli's dream world.
Yeah.
Nobody's around
to get in the lineup.
All I need.
These are the last waves ever.
Some tasty waves.
Katya and Ben,
I forgot to ask,
did you bring anything
for the prize bag?
Yeah, well,
we brought something
for everybody.
Oh, okay.
That's even better.
Did you guys get those things?
Did you get them yet?
Oh, fuck, man.
We brought rolling papers. High-maintenance rolling papers. High-maintenance rolling papers for everyone. things? Did that happen? Oh, fuck, man. We brought rolling papers.
High-maintenance rolling papers.
High-maintenance rolling papers for everyone.
Right?
Didn't we?
I hope so.
They're in the back on the bar.
We'll get those to you.
All right.
Well, everybody will get those.
It's good for all of them.
Is that okay?
It's totally okay.
Okay.
What do you think is better?
I think everyone should get one of these,
and everyone should get one of these, too.
As a married couple, do you watch movies together all the time?
Or do you sometimes see things separately?
Oh, we never see anything separately.
Well, we have this year.
I feel like you went and saw some movies that I didn't see this year.
And I went and saw The Boy Next Door, for example, this weekend.
Yeah.
Without you.
Yeah, there's nothing in it for
men really. Comedy of
the year so far for me.
I can't wait to, you know, we do shows
where we sit in the front row with mics and just show
movies and talk through them and I can't
wait to do that movie.
That movie's perfect for it.
That and Nicholas Sparks films are my
favorites.
Dude, I lost my mind watching The Notebook on a plane, man.
I like, I had a...
How high were you?
No, 20,000 feet, 30?
Okay, whatever.
Yeah.
Bam.
Because that'll make you cry.
I heard that.
Nosebleeds.
Yeah.
When you say you lost your mind, were you crying?
Or were you like, no, were you crying? Were you like,
no, no, no, no.
It was emotional.
It was extremely emotional.
And I looked back,
it was emotional for everybody.
Like, seriously,
I looked back and there was,
yeah, a lot of people were crying.
No, I mean,
that's almost,
it's almost not a movie.
It's just emotional cues
Oh yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Are you saying
Movies are manipulative?
That's the most manipulative movie
I think out there
Other than
Maybe the most
It's probably even sadder now
Because
That's a great movie
Isn't James Garner in that?
Yeah
Like he's
He's actually dead
Yeah
So it's like
Oh
So heavy to watch that Yeah Oh man That is such a good movie Do you get sad When you watch any movie in that? Yeah. Like he's actually dead. So it's like, oh,
so heavy to watch that.
Fuck, man. Yeah, oh man,
that is such a good movie.
Do you get sad
when you watch any movie
where people are dead?
Kinda, yeah.
Remember the Frighteners?
That was pretty good.
Do you remember that
when we first got together
and we ate those pot cookies
and I got too fucked up
and then you were like,
let's watch The Notebook
and I felt like
it was some sort of
like a litmus test or something.
You wanted to see like how moved
I would be by it or something like that
and it was like that bootleg copy
that you got in Russia or Cambodia.
Yeah.
I remember and I was,
it was just like I was uncomfortably high
like where I felt like my skin
was all like tingly.
And I just like wanted to.
That's how you know the notebook is working.
And yeah.
And I just remember you got, you got really, you were very moved when we watched it together
as well.
And you got teary.
And I was like, I love this guy.
Rachel McAdams.
How many fucking times have you seen the notebook?
Rachel McAdams.
She's seen it a lot.
Was there a plane ride where they forced you to watch one movie,
the entire plane, or could you change the channel?
Yeah, it was a ride around the world twice.
And the plane never touched down in the whole time,
and it was just a notebook for two weeks.
Were you?
But Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling
were born in the same hospital in Ottawa.
They were meant to do that movie together.
Very close together in age as well, I believe the fact was.
Did this plane pass out reading materials about the film?
And also, Ben, were you in Cambodia?
And you're like like I cannot wait
until I get home
gotta get me
a Cambodian version
of the notebook
right now
you know
when it wasn't
not like that
I have to say
I got the notebook
and that movie
Short Bus
and I watched
and I watched
Short Bus
very similar movies
I watched Short Bus
in this weird
dirty room
with this guy on this dirty couch.
Appropriate.
It was a weird time.
It was like, I think it was like Christmas Day or something.
It was like...
Watching the Short Bus and the Notebook.
Watching the Short Bus and the Notebook together,
there's no reason for that.
Just watch Benjamin Button.
Doesn't make any sense. Note bus. It's the note bus.
The note bus.
Alright, well, that was
fun, and now is the part of the show
where I say, let
the games begin!
It's appropriate I use the Bane voice, because up here
on stage, we're in the shadows.
Some people brought name tags.
A few people that lots of folks are here to see,
high maintenance, they don't necessarily know Doug Loves Movies.
But the folks that did,
we need each of you to go out and pick somebody
that you'd like to play for.
Or you could just point at them and do this.
Say, bring it to me. However, whatever's most expedient. and pick somebody that you'd like to play for or you could just point at them and do this say bring
it to me however whatever is most expedient we got a few there's not too many this is
he's not yeah seth does not care for the orange kachi has taken the orange he drew on it at least
is it an orange
at least.
Is it an orange?
Ben wants the projector light for his
name tag.
So he did get pretty high outside.
Looks like
Kurt's got something. Kurt looks like a
four-year-old on Christmas Day.
Shaking it and looking
at it.
It's okay if you spilled a little.
Is it?
Did you spill on your microphone?
No.
Okay.
Not yet.
All right.
Who are you playing for, Kurt?
Ben's heading back to the stage.
I guess I'm playing for Tim.
Is that true?
I was like, is it a flux capacitor made out of weed?
Like, I didn't know what it was, and then I was like, oh, it's Tim.
But it is a bunch of weed bottles taped to a piece of paper.
And there's something in one of them, but it's very small.
Whatever it is, we'll smoke it out back after.
And then it looks like he's got a shithead on the back and everything.
So Katya and Ben, if you have shitheads on the back
of your name tags, don't read them
out loud. You guys actually,
I know Ben listened to a few episodes
of the show, probably while watching
The Notebook.
It's always on in my mind.
Use your mic voice, yeah.
It's always on in my mind, I said.
Seth, who are you playing for?
I'm also playing for Tim.
A different Tim, I think.
Yeah, that Tim.
Who, all he did was to create his name.
He took a book that the title,
one of the words has Tim in the title,
and he ripped off everything but that little part of the Tim.
But actually, the name of the book is The Long that little part of the Tim. But actually the name of the book is
The Long Dark Tea Time of the
Soul. Oh, it's a
Douglas Adams book, but that's a great name.
Yeah, Long Dark Tea Time
of the Soul, so everything that's left is just the Tim
and Time. Yeah, that's a classic. That's a classic
Douglas Adams title. Oh yeah, this is
serious DA.
I love that there's two people named Tim
and neither one of them bothered to just, you know,
download and print out the poster of the movie Tim.
Very angrily creative.
Put their face on Mel Gibson's face.
My question is, is the Tim you got this from a cat?
Are you?
That's all they could do?
A feline?
Or are you just like a cat, like a crazy cat?
Kitty cat.
That was awkward.
This is weird.
He's uncomfortable.
I don't know what the hell was just happening just there.
I just put my microphone in my mouth.
Who are you playing Katya while fighting Scurvy?
Wait, you said something about if it's a shithead,
I can't say the name?
I don't understand. Yeah, if there's a name written on the, did you write a shithead on the orange? Yeah, it's got a shithead I can't say the name I don't know
yeah if there's a name
written on the
did you write a shithead
on the orange
yeah it's got a shithead
on it so don't read that
but read his name
oh this person's name
is Brad
okay Brad
yeah there you go
and if you lose tonight
then whoever he wants
me to call a shithead
I have to
at the end of the show
right that's right
it's all coming back to me
who are you playing for Ben
I'm playing for, Ben?
I'm playing for a couple of people.
The Brocks.
And they have some brownies. They changed the burbs to the Brocks.
Yeah, they changed the burbs to the Brocks.
And then they taped a bag of brownies to the bottom of it.
Yeah, it's like a lure.
Yeah.
There's this part, too.
And then it says, there go the goddamn brownies.
Instead of neighborhood
that makes it look
like it's a movie
about racist
neighbors
oh god
the brownies
are moving in
Tom Hanks
edgiest role
ever
yeah
could we get
the heat
turned up in here
yeah
what does that mean my shirt's not drenched yet I'm just sitting here sweating is it super warm Can we get the heat turned up in here? Yeah.
What does that mean?
My shirt's not drenched yet.
I'm just sitting here sweating. Is it super warm in here?
Yeah, I guess I sweat a lot.
Just from a place where sweating
You're just worried about the impending competition.
Have you tried the food yet, Ben?
The brownies?
No, I haven't.
Yeah, is there anything in the brownies?
Where are the brocks at?
Are those loaded or just regular?
Regular.
Maybe we should see how they taste.
Alright.
I believe this is called...
Seth wants to verify if they have
weed in them or not.
I'll know.
Whether there's weed in them or not. We'll share'll know. I'll know whether there's weed in them or not.
Well, we'll share them, guys.
I think you're pretty good at it.
Yeah, everybody...
Everyone can have some
of these brownies.
These games are perfect.
These games are perfect
if everybody's mouth
is full of brownies.
Did you see that...
That sounded dirtier
than you mentioned.
Oh, no.
I was just going to say,
did you see that news item
about that bakery
here in California
that was making
those King's cakes?
Those, you know, those Mardi Gras. Where they put
a little plastic baby in them. Yes.
Those cakes. And they put that
fake weed in it, apparently.
That synthetic weed. They just
put it in their cakes. And all these people got
sick and thought they were dying.
And then it turned out that it was just like,
oh no, we just put some synthetic
weed in your cake.
And it didn't seem like there was a lot of consequence for it.
At least it was not...
What city was this?
I don't know, it was somewhere here in California.
Yeah, it sounds somewhere pretty chill.
Does anyone know what you're talking about?
We'll let that slide.
Where?
Santa Ana.
Santa Ana.
They're pretty chill down there, right?
I just thought that was weird that they could just do that.
Or that they thought that they could just do that.
I don't know.
Isn't that weird?
My fetus cake made me high.
There's babies inside, right?
Yeah, there are.
Yeah.
Made from baby parts.
Fetus cake.
I thought it was funny.
I don't.
Anyway, that synthetic weed Is weird
Have you ever tried it
Probably
But
Yeah it's all
You know
People are coming up
With lots of
Lots of new crazy stuff
Like dabs
Are really intense
And
Jesus Christ
Yeah
It's just too much
Alright well let's play some games
We gotta play some games
Cause then we're gonna show three episodes of High Maintenance
And everyone listening to this podcast
Should check those out
They're the first new episode
Since November I believe
Yeah very cool
And you're gonna keep making more right
Is that the deal with
How do you pronounce it is Is it Vimeo?
Yeah, it's Vimeo.
Okay.
You're going to back off the I am sound a little bit, though.
Okay, Vimeo?
No, no, no, no, no.
Vimeo.
Just go Vimeo.
Vimeo.
Just throw it away.
It's Vimeo.
Throw it away.
All right, Vimeo.
So you guys are with Vimeo for a while?
Yeah.
Nice.
The whole time
Yeah
I saw him putting a banner up in the back
That says Vimeo on it
So I was like
Man, this is a relationship
That's meant, built to last
Yeah
Kind of like that couple in the notebook
You know what I mean?
Well, here's hoping
Either you or Katya or Vimeo get Alzheimer's.
It's going to be us.
I think if it's going to be them or us, it's probably going to be us.
You know where I heard you get it is if you go to Disneyland.
You can't catch it.
Hey, you know what?
Can you just let me try?
Can you just let a man try?
Can you let somebody follow their dreams?
All right, to determine who goes first
in the main game that we're going to play tonight,
we're going to play a round of
How Much Did This Shit Make?
And that's a game where you have to guess,
Price is Right style,
how much money a movie made.
And this isn't necessarily a shitty movie,
but it's one that upsets me.
And high-maintenance made me think of it. made and this isn't necessarily a shitty movie but it's one that upsets me and high high maintenance
reminded you know made me think of it as like i was thinking what what pot movies are there you
know and i thought of uh half-baked and how uh the hero of half-baked uh the movie ends with him
giving up marijuana uh for his girlfriend it is such a fucking sellout
to marijuana smokers
throughout the world.
Knocked Up did the same, man.
It was like, oh, I got my shit together.
Right, but that was for a baby, and I get
that more.
I get that more than girlfriend.
Girlfriend doesn't make
sense. He's Dave Chappelle. He's gonna
do alright.
Or he's a guy that looks like Dave Chappelle.
So that being said,
how much money do you think that movie made in millions
without going over, according to boxofficemojo.com?
No audience guesses, please.
And we'll start with Seth.
In the theater, you mean?
Not digital sales.
Domestic, North American distribution dollars.
I don't think it was a huge hit.
I'm going to say $10 million.
Okay, I don't know why you had to give all the other panelists a clue
with the not a huge hit part.
But you play the game how you want.
You might be doing something tricky there.
Let's go to Kurt next.
One dollar.
Classic bid by a classic bidder.
Don't have to make a choice.
Ben, what do you think?
I'm going to say $ poker. Don't have to make a choice. Ben, what do you think? I'm going to say $10,002,000.
Well, that really fucks over Seth.
$10,002,000.
So he's got that $2 window.
So far, I've got from $1 to $10 million.
And you have $2. I've got... So far, I've got from one to ten million.
And you have two dollars.
I wanted to be near Seth.
I like him. I made him. I have this in the bag.
All right, so Katya, we got Seth with ten million.
Kurt with one.
And Ben with ten and two.
What do you think? I'm going to say
half a million.
Oh. God damn it.
Why don't you take two dollars?
What the fuck? You guys play the same.
We balance each other out.
Well, you know, I think he's
a dastardly player.
So I don't know how happy I am about this,
but Ben is our winner.
Because it made $17.4 million.
Yeah.
So good job, Ben.
And that means, Ben, you get to go first
in our next and final game.
I know you've done a lot of research.
You've listened to a bunch of episodes of the show,
but Katya has not.
You better back off, Ben.
She did enough.
But there's more.
There's more.
And Kurt Braunohler is never going to get it.
Not good at games.
Yeah.
It's not my strong point.
All right.
Well, maybe this will be a fun starting off point.
Dustin Hoffman was a tough one for you.
We're going to play Last Man Stanton,
and that's where we take turns naming movies.
I'll play along.
We take turns naming movies by a certain performer,
actor, actress, could be a director,
someone with a large body of work.
We try Dustin Hoffman. Apparently he was not
famous enough for Kurt
to be able to think of more
than a couple of titles.
You got one out, I think. Uh-uh.
You went right to Cadillac, man.
That was the first thing I said. You right away
with guesswork. Yep.
Alright, so... I panic.
Panic easy.
What do you think? Is there somebody you think you could do
What
Yeah if you got to pick
Corey Feldman
You think against the four of us
You would win in naming
Corey Feldman motion pictures
Yeah
Let's do it
Okay
The great Corey Feldman rest in peace Yeah. Let's do it. Okay.
The great Corey Feldman, rest in peace.
Oh shit, I've already confused them.
No, no, no.
Ben was actually like, what?
That's the tricky...
Breaking news?
Yeah.
That's gonna be the tricky part, naming the ones Corey Feldman is in
and Corey Haim isn't in.
They're both in all of them.
Yeah, you get...
Not all of them.
The Corey Haim ones are fair play.
Don't worry about it.
What?
Yeah, it's movies that Corey Feldman's in.
It doesn't matter who else is in it.
It's just movies that he was in.
Oh, you guys think Corey Feldman
was only in movies with Corey Haim?
No.
No, you're the one.
I'm not going to think, man. What? Okay. Corey Feldman was only in movies with Corey Haim. No, he was in others without it.
What?
Okay.
I rarely throw people out during the show.
It has happened.
Okay, so Corey Feldman,
and we start with Ben gets to start,
and then we'll go to Katya. Katya. Just name any Corey Feldman motion picture.
You may notice I stayed away from the word vehicle.
Yeah.
I'm going to go with Gremlins.
Yes. I dare say one of his finest performances.
Yeah. He pulled it back a little bit there.
He didn't...
As a person, though,
his character did not seem to understand
the gremlin rules.
Yeah, yeah.
Which aren't complicated.
They were all very clear.
Yeah.
I thought.
And then he turned his back
and spilled some shit.
Katya?
License to drive?
Is that the one?
That is correct.
Okay, whew.
Yeah, I mean,
I think we're almost
at the bottom of the barrel.
This is a...
Yeah, good luck, you guys.
This is a really,
really interesting gift.
There's like one other one.
Not much left.
Seth, do you have another one?
I'm gonna go with,
in terms of what Ben said,
starting with a G,
ending with an S,
Goonies.
Oh, nice.
Sure.
You know, I like
the actual correct title. The Goonies. Oh, nice. Sure. You know, I like the actual correct title.
The Goonies.
There you go.
Okay.
It's Gremlins and the Goonies.
Kurt?
Dream a Little Dream.
Oh.
There you go.
That is my favorite awful movie.
That one is really bad.
I loved that movie as a kid.
I was like, I'm going to base my life on this.
Give me a hat and a cane.
When I think the Corys,
you can't get away from not only a great Corys movie,
but a great movie, The Lost Boys.
Yeah.
Come with us, Michael.
Join us, Michael.
Oh, I thought you were guessing another movie. I was like, he was in something called Come With Us, Michael. Join us, Michael. Oh, I thought you were guessing another movie.
I was like, he was in something called Come With Us, Michael?
I know he's done some straight-to-home video things.
I know he's friends with Michael Jackson.
What do you got, Ben?
Can you think of any?
Oh, more?
We're doing more
standby no you know what let's wrap it up i thought it was just like oh we get to each of
us gets a name and thing it was like oh that was yeah no we all did it pat ourselves on the back
everybody wins let's just share the contents of the prize bag i get the pillow oh okay yeah so
stand by me of course stand by me what was I talking about with the best one?
That's the best one.
Yeah. And now is it over?
I'm going to say something. When somebody loses,
I'm going to say something that Corey Feldman said
in Stand By Me. Alright, Katya.
You might get to say it.
Is there like a Lost Boys 2?
Was there a sequel
that he was in? Well, you know, if there was,
it would have a subtitle, and I am into
full titles, so I think you're in
trouble there, and I also don't think
there was one. There might have been, we can't
say, because, you know, the other
contestants are still in the hunt, but
there might have been
something, like with those, with just
the Corys, there was supposed to be a sequel to that.
Maybe. I don't know
what it's called.
Okay, so Katya's out.
You just bit the bag and stepped out the door.
It's what Corey says in the movie.
I always thought it was a weird thing for a child to say to another child.
Bit what bag?
What the fuck does that mean?
What biting into bags goes on
with these weird kids that are looking
for a dead body by the side of the trade track?
Seth?
One of the duos, I think may have been their last movie together, was The Last Resort.
Oh, okay.
God damn you, Seth.
Nobody's seen that movie.
Oh, you had that one ready to go, Kurt?
I was ready.
I love that movie.
Yeah, The Last Resort? Oh, my God that one ready to go, Kurt? I was ready. I love that movie. Yeah, The Last Resort.
Oh, my God, it's amazing.
It's like right before they both go like,
we love drugs more than living,
and just like dive in,
and it's just,
you see them fighting with it the whole time.
It's amazing.
And also a really great scene
where it's a split screen
where one calls the other one on a phone,
and the other one picks it up,
and they're talking,
and they're like, let's go
and they hang it up
and then it's just a room
that's been colored
one color and the other color
down the middle
and then they just high five
and hug each other.
Fucking awesome.
Like some classic
like airplane level jokes in there.
There's a bunch of weird shit.
Oh, so much background stuff
where it's like they were so high
the whole time.
It's great.
Do you have another one?
Of course.
Dream a Little Dream 2.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Were both of them in it?
No, Corey Feldman
is maybe only in it.
I don't think
Corey Haim is in it.
Yeah, I didn't think so.
And this is Corey Feldman
like big Corey Feldman.
Okay.
God, I'm having trouble
thinking of one.
Ben, can I see your name tag for a second?
Where'd you put that thing?
How about
the Burbs?
It's right there in your
hands the whole time. Or next to you.
Your turn,
Ben. He's like, fuck, man.
I just want to get high
and watch my show with some nice people
and some couches.
Kind of.
If we're being honest, yeah.
How do you like the weather out here?
Pretty nice break, right?
Yeah.
Are you giving me a hint?
No, no.
Pretty nice break, right?
Yeah.
Are you giving me a hint?
No, no.
Yeah, he was in a movie about where he was the only short person and it was called How's the Weather Up There.
I mean, I'm going to throw it out there.
I know he wasn't in it,
but Lucas was also a good movie with the other guy.
But I don't have an answer for you.
It is a nice movie with the other guy.
I agree with that.
Yeah, I love Lucas.
All right, Ben's out.
Seth?
I think, wasn't he in Captain EO?
No.
You sure?
I'm positive.
Kurt, and also, it's not a feature film.
It's like 18 minutes long.
It just plays in two or three theaters
over the world.
That's still a movie.
All the time.
I'll tell you, not only am I in it,
also it's got the best 3D of anything I've ever seen in 3D.
You're in Captain EO?
It's true.
It's a long story, but yeah.
In the last scene, they hired non-professional dancers
because they couldn't afford the professional ones anymore
because Coppola went so far over budget,
and so I got to jump around.
And when Angelica Houston turns into a pretty princess
and everybody jumps around, I'm one of those people.
Best credit ever.
So no, Corey Feldman's not in it.
Maybe he was one of the other
dancers. He's not a dancer, he's not
a voice, he didn't even stop by the set.
Kurt!
It's down to you and me, buddy.
I know. And I named the last
one, so you have to come up with one more.
Damn it, man. It was your idea.
I know. I mean, I thought
Last Resort would save me.
Same. I know.
That was your Last Resort.
Without saying it, does anybody in the audience
know one? I bet you somebody out there knows one.
It's tough, though. We're down to the...
Hadrian knows one.
No, I don't know one. Okay, so I
win. Hadrian, what's yours?
The Birthday. What's that? Just home videos?, what's yours? The birthday. The birthday?
What's that?
Just home videos?
Just him?
It's just him?
His birthday? Are you into some weird shit, Hadrian?
Is he in a Meatballs movie?
Is he in a Meatballs movie?
Oh, Meatballs 2, maybe?
He's the voice of Donatello.
Oh, Ninja Turtles.
Wow.
That's a good poll, audience member.
That was when he couldn't even be trusted to be on screen. Ninja Turtles. Wow. That's a good poll, audience member.
That was when he couldn't even be trusted to be on screen.
He could just do heroin in a VO booth and then do the voice.
I mean, I'm sure he's still out there, right?
Congratulations, Kurt Brauner, you came in second in the game that you suggested.
Congratulations to you.
It doesn't matter.
But I'm not playing for anybody, but Kurt was.
Kurt's person he's playing for wins the prize
bag. Tim! Tim number one.
Come get your stuff.
Get all that cool
Jimmy Fallon stuff and
I don't know what you're going to do with this painting.
You're going to hang it up.
Tim, would you hang it up and take a picture and send
it to me on Twitter? Hell yes.
Oh, okay. He's in. Wow.
He's excited about that.
He's got a lot of wall space.
Yeah.
Actually, no.
There you go.
Yeah, he has a room he never goes into.
He's like, this will be perfect.
I jumped through the wall once and I need to hide the hole.
Wait a second, though.
I love this guy.
Stop by Kurt for a second.
Here, use this Sharpie.
Sign your name in the corner, Kurt, like you painted it.
Okay.
Totally steal credit from that artist.
This is a total big guy situation.
Should I write it over the person who painted it?
Yes.
It looks like that person's name is Croteens.
So maybe...
And I made a big T like, I don't give a shit that I painted it.
Like, I draw all over it.
There we go.
There you go.
Good job.
And everybody else, pass your name tags to me,
because they have shitheads written on them.
Kurt, what do you want to plug, buddy, before we go?
I just want to tell everybody,
this summer I jet skied from Chicago to New Orleans
in order to send 500 goats and 1,000 chickens
to African families in need.
And we made a web series about it called Roustabout.
It's on YouTube and it's on ComedyCentral.com.
So please, go watch it. It's on YouTube and it's on ComedyCentral.com, so please, go
watch it. I think you'll enjoy it.
Seth Herzog, what do you got going on?
You got a weekly show in New York City?
Weekly show in New York City. Sweets happens every
Tuesday at the Slipper Room, and
I don't know, there's nothing pertinent,
presentent, that's a word
that I could say. Stuff's coming up later. Thanks for doing the show and for coming out to California. I love the show and I love't know. There's nothing pertinent, presentent. That's a word that I could say.
Stuff's coming up later.
Thanks for doing the show and for coming out to California. I love the show and I love being here.
This is my favorite show.
I wish it was longer.
And Katya and Ben, do you have anything besides starting tomorrow, February 5th,
the three new episodes of High Maintenance on Vimeo?
I will buy your podcast for $2 each
if you will buy my show for $2 each.
I think it's reasonable, right?
Each episode of your show is $2?
Yeah, or it's $8 for $6.
Oh, okay.
That's a good deal.
What a deal.
That seems like a special, yeah.
What a deal.
Yeah, I have some premium episodes,
but a lot of my shows are free, but it sounds like you can get a deal. Yeah, I have some premium episodes, but a lot of my shows are free.
But it sounds like you can get a good bulk deal
over at Vimeo for the show,
which is, you know,
I was just reading a bunch of stuff about it.
Like, critics, everybody loves it.
Do you like it?
And I can't wait to see these.
Why do you have to?
No, I really intentionally don't watch stuff
before something like this.
I know that about you.
Doug doesn't like much movies, podcasts.
I like stuff.
I like stuff a lot.
And I want to watch these episodes.
Now, that's a good question,
is jumping in with these last three,
is it going to be confusing at all story-wise?
No, not at all.
Because every episode,
you're the only continuing thread.
Oh, yeah.
They're all kind of freestanding, like Fantasy Island.
Yeah, yeah.
That is something we are always going back to.
It's Fantasy Island.
No, no joke.
It's a deep well.
It's like Tales from the Crypt also sometimes, you know.
Well, I can't wait to see it.
And from everything I've heard, I'm sure it's going to be great.
And I just didn't think my opinion mattered at this point.
It does matter a lot.
Don't leave me hanging, man.
Kurt and I had the same conversation back in the patio.
We tried to watch it, but as soon as it asked for your credit card, you're like...
Don't fucking sell me out.
I was out of this conversation.
They had no idea.
I hadn't watched all of them.
Oh, that's very nice.
Thank you.
Thank you.
He didn't even hear
that sentence right.
Yeah.
Does your web series
cost anything to watch?
My web series is free,
but you know,
it's for charity.
My wife.
But Tim, I don't understand. On your book, on the back, you just wrote, it's for charity. My wife! But Tim,
I don't understand. On your book, on the back,
you just wrote the word shithead.
Is it supposed
to mean shitheads are shitheads?
I guess so.
I thought I was set for show last night,
but I was like...
How long is this talking that you're gonna do
go on for?
It's got the longest explanation.
Who do you want for your shit? Do you want shithead want for your shithead? Do you want a shithead or a shithead?
Or Tim's a shithead?
Okay, you got it. I'm going to remember
that.
So check out High Maintenance tomorrow,
today, because that's probably when this podcast
is going to come out, February 5th.
And thanks, you guys. You were
great guests. Thank you for being on the show.
Kurt Braunohler, Seth Urzog, Katja Blickfeld. Get it right, And thanks, you guys. You were great guests. Thank you for being on the show.
Kurt Braunohler.
Seth Urzog.
Katja Blickfeld.
Get it right, you guys.
It's Blickfeld.
And Ben Sinclair, the guy.
The guy.
And as always, that person, that guy said,
see, I already forgot.
Say it again.
Justin Gentile is a shithead.
If you say so.
Sarah Isset is a shithead.
Isset. You're welcome.
And this one I can pronounce.
The guy in the hoodie behind Katy Perry is a shithead.
