Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:40 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,
Starting point is 00:01:01 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
Starting point is 00:01:17 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.

Starting point is 00:02:13 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
Starting point is 00:02:35 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.
Starting point is 00:03:01 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.
Starting point is 00:03:46 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.
Starting point is 00:04:05 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.
Starting point is 00:04:19 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,
Starting point is 00:04:29 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.
Starting point is 00:04:50 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
Starting point is 00:05:05 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.
Starting point is 00:05:20 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...
Starting point is 00:05:32 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
Starting point is 00:05:43 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.
Starting point is 00:06:01 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.
Starting point is 00:06:28 My schedule. It's a British... That's your schedule? It's my British scheme for this. All right, Pete. Settle down. Seth. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:36 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.
Starting point is 00:06:58 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
Starting point is 00:07:13 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.
Starting point is 00:07:29 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.
Starting point is 00:07:44 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
Starting point is 00:08:06 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...
Starting point is 00:08:18 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
Starting point is 00:08:32 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?
Starting point is 00:08:56 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
Starting point is 00:09:17 in that web series. Not tonight I guess. And Katya Blitchfeld is here. Right? What? Blickfeld. God damn it.
Starting point is 00:09:32 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,
Starting point is 00:09:44 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.
Starting point is 00:10:00 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
Starting point is 00:10:26 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.
Starting point is 00:10:43 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,
Starting point is 00:11:07 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.
Starting point is 00:11:22 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?
Starting point is 00:11:51 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.
Starting point is 00:12:07 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.
Starting point is 00:12:22 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.
Starting point is 00:12:38 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.
Starting point is 00:12:52 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.
Starting point is 00:13:10 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.
Starting point is 00:13:27 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.
Starting point is 00:13:48 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
Starting point is 00:14:03 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.
Starting point is 00:14:14 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.
Starting point is 00:14:29 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.
Starting point is 00:14:44 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.
Starting point is 00:14:59 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.
Starting point is 00:15:15 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.
Starting point is 00:15:28 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.
Starting point is 00:15:46 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?
Starting point is 00:16:00 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?
Starting point is 00:16:20 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?
Starting point is 00:16:37 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.
Starting point is 00:16:54 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.
Starting point is 00:17:09 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
Starting point is 00:17:17 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.
Starting point is 00:17:27 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.
Starting point is 00:17:36 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?
Starting point is 00:17:52 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
Starting point is 00:18:06 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
Starting point is 00:18:22 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.
Starting point is 00:18:38 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.
Starting point is 00:18:49 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,
Starting point is 00:19:02 it's almost not a movie. It's just emotional cues Oh yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Are you saying
Starting point is 00:19:11 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
Starting point is 00:19:19 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,
Starting point is 00:19:26 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?
Starting point is 00:19:35 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
Starting point is 00:19:44 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,
Starting point is 00:20:00 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.
Starting point is 00:20:14 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?
Starting point is 00:20:26 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.
Starting point is 00:20:56 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
Starting point is 00:21:11 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
Starting point is 00:21:18 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.
Starting point is 00:21:28 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.
Starting point is 00:21:46 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.
Starting point is 00:22:10 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
Starting point is 00:22:34 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
Starting point is 00:22:56 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.
Starting point is 00:23:12 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?
Starting point is 00:23:25 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,
Starting point is 00:23:49 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.
Starting point is 00:24:10 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
Starting point is 00:24:28 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
Starting point is 00:24:44 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?
Starting point is 00:25:03 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?
Starting point is 00:25:20 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
Starting point is 00:25:28 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
Starting point is 00:25:37 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.
Starting point is 00:25:48 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.
Starting point is 00:26:06 Instead of neighborhood that makes it look like it's a movie about racist neighbors oh god the brownies are moving in
Starting point is 00:26:13 Tom Hanks edgiest role ever yeah could we get the heat turned up in here yeah
Starting point is 00:26:23 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?
Starting point is 00:26:41 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.

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,
Starting point is 00:27:41 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?
Starting point is 00:27:59 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.
Starting point is 00:28:11 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.
Starting point is 00:28:22 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

Starting point is 00:28:43 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
Starting point is 00:28:59 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.
Starting point is 00:29:15 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?
Starting point is 00:29:23 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
Starting point is 00:29:31 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.
Starting point is 00:29:51 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,
Starting point is 00:30:10 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
Starting point is 00:30:27 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
Starting point is 00:30:55 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
Starting point is 00:31:13 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.
Starting point is 00:31:38 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.
Starting point is 00:32:03 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.
Starting point is 00:32:30 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.
Starting point is 00:32:56 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.
Starting point is 00:33:16 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.
Starting point is 00:33:33 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.
Starting point is 00:33:43 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.
Starting point is 00:34:03 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.
Starting point is 00:34:19 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
Starting point is 00:34:38 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.
Starting point is 00:34:57 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...
Starting point is 00:35:09 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
Starting point is 00:35:20 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.
Starting point is 00:35:36 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.
Starting point is 00:36:07 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.
Starting point is 00:36:16 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.
Starting point is 00:36:27 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.
Starting point is 00:36:34 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.
Starting point is 00:36:42 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?
Starting point is 00:36:52 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.
Starting point is 00:37:09 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?
Starting point is 00:37:31 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
Starting point is 00:37:56 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.
Starting point is 00:38:18 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
Starting point is 00:38:33 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.
Starting point is 00:38:52 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?
Starting point is 00:39:08 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.
Starting point is 00:39:25 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
Starting point is 00:39:38 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
Starting point is 00:39:47 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.
Starting point is 00:39:59 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?
Starting point is 00:40:10 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
Starting point is 00:40:19 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?
Starting point is 00:40:33 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.
Starting point is 00:40:51 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.
Starting point is 00:41:03 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.
Starting point is 00:41:25 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.
Starting point is 00:41:36 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.
Starting point is 00:41:54 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
Starting point is 00:42:14 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.
Starting point is 00:42:37 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
Starting point is 00:42:53 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?
Starting point is 00:43:07 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.
Starting point is 00:43:21 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.
Starting point is 00:43:42 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.
Starting point is 00:43:59 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.
Starting point is 00:44:09 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.
Starting point is 00:44:20 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...
Starting point is 00:44:41 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?
Starting point is 00:45:06 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.
Starting point is 00:45:32 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.
Starting point is 00:45:48 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?
Starting point is 00:46:11 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,
Starting point is 00:46:24 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.
Starting point is 00:46:39 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.
Starting point is 00:46:54 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.
Starting point is 00:47:08 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.
Starting point is 00:47:24 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.
Starting point is 00:47:46 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
Starting point is 00:47:57 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.
Starting point is 00:48:11 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.
Starting point is 00:48:25 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
Starting point is 00:48:41 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.
Starting point is 00:48:54 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.
Starting point is 00:49:17 And this one I can pronounce. The guy in the hoodie behind Katy Perry is a shithead.
