Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds with 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies! Hey! Hello everyone! Hello, everyone. Thank you for coming out, not live from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles, but in front of a live audience.

That's the people I thanked for coming out. Those of you listening on your computers, I'm thanking you for staying in and listening to this. This is Doug Benson's I Love Movies. You probably already knew that already. We're at the UCB Theater where they do a lot of great shows, so go to ucbtheater.com for more info. directed Gremlins, when in fact it was Joe Dante who directed Gremlins from a screenplay by Chris Columbus. So I might have been high at the time. I don't remember.

So today, that's cleared up. Now that that one person can be like, thank you for correcting your mistake, retard. Retard, it's French. Today, we're doing a very special episode, and by that I don't mean that one of us is going to get cancer or die or something, but nobody's going to be molested in this episode. But it's a special episode because me and my guest are going to count down our favorite movies from 2006, that year that just happened a few weeks ago.

So without any further a don't, please welcome back, I call him WFED, Mr. Wayne Fetterman, everybody. Let's hear it for him. He's here. He's got notes and props. We don't have a lot of time. All right hear it for him. He's here. He's got notes and props. We don't have a lot of time. We've got a lot to get through. We've got a lot to get through? I like your

attitude. Sorry about that. I already forgot to bring I brought like a clock that I could look at to keep track of the time and I totally forgot it so we're back to the cell phone. While you have the cell phone out there, I was on one very special episode As an actor Of

A different world Really Yeah Want to know what happened I thought every episode Of a different world Was special Well in it's own way

It was but This episode Because Kadeem Hardison Always had the flip up shades In every episode They were very special Hunts Hall style Yeah

That's just for one of you No he This was the one Where the N-word was painted on their car. Oh, right. Yes. And they had to buy it. By Cosmo Kramer. He's always thinking. All right, I've got to take it up a notch.

All right, let me state quickly for the record that neither of us, Wayne or I, has the time or the inclination to see every movie. I saw three movies. So, wow, this could be an interesting top ten out of Wayne. I'm going to pretend I saw ten. So our list cannot be completely fair to the movie making industry.

I'd like to just right up front just quickly admit, here's some of the critical favorites that I did not get around to seeing in 2006 or in the first few weeks of 2007. Can I guess Blade Runner? I did not see that in this particular year. Kidding. Go ahead. Volver

I did not see. Didn't see it. Heard good things about it. Akilah and the Bee. I've been to Starbucks, but I have not seen their movie. Apocalypto. I also do not like Jews, but I did not see that. That's unfair. Unfair.

Babel, or as Schwarzenegger calls it, Babel. I didn't see that. Okay, you didn't see Babel, which I think is going to win the best picture of the year. You think? I think it has a good shot. Go ahead. All right. That's surprising and kind of diminishes your ability to make this list.

Go ahead. No, I know. That's why I'm admitting it up top. I'm admitting it up top. I'm admitting it up top. I like it. That movie just looks too depressing for me to get around to seeing it, but I hear it's wonderful

if you like to be depressed. Have you ever seen a 16-year-old Asian woman? Yes. That scene is incredible. She out Sharon Stones. What does she do? She out Sharon Stones.

Sharon Stones. Oh, no. Insane. Oh, then I'm in. Yeah. That's what the whole movie's about Why don't they say that It looks like it's a depressing movie About some lady getting shot on accident

They call it all Because there's many stories But it all comes together It's not on my list by the way Wow Yeah but go ahead Okay well so you're telling me It's not fair

And then it's not even on your list World Trade Center Strangers of Candy Hard Candy Half Nelson Hollywood Land Monster House Sleeping Dogs Live Venus The Good German Shepherd, Idiocracy, The Last King of Scotland, Painted Veil, Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny, Little Man, Deck the Halls, and Eragon.

I didn't see any of those critical favorites. But now I still have a list of my ten favorites. The list is life. Can I say right now, right from the start, we've been talking. But now I still have a list of my ten favorites. Right. The list is life. Can I say right now, right from the start, we've been talking before we even had this show that gets electronically transferred to many people. I can't say broadcast. I battle this all the time.

My theory on movies has always been there's not ten great movies in a year. It doesn't exist. It's a false premise to begin with. Yes, there's not ten great movies in a year. It doesn't exist. It's a false premise to begin with. Yes, there's not 10 great movies in a year. Can't be. There's 10 movies that are okay. That are watchable. Sure.

There are 10 movies that are watchable. You could totally look in the direction of them. And not go, oh, and do that thing. But there's not 10 great movies. And I don't mean that, I feel like that's always been the case. That was true in 1949, 53. Oh, yeah. I mean, Best Picture, when they nominate five movies

it's always like really the three of those are good or whatever you know it's like it's hard and sometimes the uh the academy does overlook great movies but i'm just saying there's a rule just start thinking about movies in a little less like if you can get two great movies in a year it's a good year for movies just think of it that it that way. My number one this year did not get nominated for Best Picture. Unaccompanied Minors? Because I'm in that. Good guess. Good guess.

Good guess. It does have actors in it. There are speaking roles in the movie. Let's go. So what I've done is I make my top five, which I can barely do. I had four, and then I put one in with an asterisk, and then the rest are just movies that are overrated or I want to talk about or something like that. So I only have five.

So we agreed backstage that I would do my top ten, and then Wayne would let me know whenever I hit one of his top five. Or I have something horrible to say about one of your top tens. Okay, well, I have some horrible things to say about my top ten. I don't completely love most of these movies. Touch it and go. My number ten, Stranger Than Fiction.

Except for the Queen Latifah character. Right? She ruins it. I mean, another actress maybe would have been good, but her standing around, talking to, what's her name, was my least favorite part of that movie everything else about it i like did you see that movie wayne yeah and it's not in your top five in my top i don't blame you it's number it's number 10 on my list i like i like it's way out let me just give you a hint there is a queen

in one of my top fives okay and probably not latifah and not yes not even not black probably she's the only black queen i know of uh number nine now this is gonna controversy is gonna ensue the departed that's in my number nine that's in my top four it's number four then is what you're telling me no i don't rate them i just do them oh okay you said you had five though so you've rated one fifth and the other four are are tied for number one exactly so departed is a four-way tie for number one for you departed is a four-way tie for number one okay let's just let's break it down for a second loved walberg and baldwin loved them walberg got nominated they're both amazing, and deservedly so.

But that final shot at the end of the movie is perhaps one of the worst final shots at the end of any movie. I agree with you. That's what kicked it all the way down to nine for me

is that fucking last shot. All right, but that's not the end of the movie. That's not the end of the movie. It kind of reminds me of Remains of the Day. What do you mean that's not the end of the movie?

You mean there's credits after? No, I mean, that's not the final of the movie? You mean there's credits after? No, I mean that's not the final scene. Because I'm going to talk about a movie that has a bad ending called Little Miss Sunshine. I don't know if it's on your list. It has a bad ending? It has a bad ending. But it's not like it has a bad ending, but that's the end of the movie, which makes the movie bad. This was just one grace note that is horribly ill-conceived.

That's all that is. All right, that's fair that is all right that's fair i feel like there's a difference that's you guys even know what we're talking about yeah yeah isn't that shot horrible yeah it's it's on it's on the nose it's on the nose but it's on the nose but also off of the nose because like there's okay i get that there's a rat yeah okay there's a rat but but why why that particular backdrop uh you know like behind the rat like oh that that's supposed to represent uh that's that's our society man society see it it doesn't matter what side of the law you're on it's the same people are turning people in all

the time yeah i just didn't like the way i didn't like it i didn't like it at all if i own it on dvd which i i do because they were kind enough to send me one, I'm going to stop it before that shot. Maybe even a few minutes before that. Because it just gets out of control at the end. It's just like, well, why do we bother sitting through this movie if you're just going to kill everyone? The bloodshed.

All right. So Departed fell all the way to my number nine, but I do admire it. I appreciate it. I think it's an enjoyable motion picture. I was into it. I was just into it. I was into it. And if Scorchese gets the Oscars, I say good for him.

And it's obviously not nowhere near his best movie. No, no way. No way. I don't know if you... All right. New York, New York. Speaking of... New York or whatever that was called.

Yeah, there was two New Yorks. Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead. My number eight, Casino Royale. With cheese. Let me tell you something. That is number... That's number five. That's your number five.

I could see where you'd place that one out on the side. Like, yeah, it was good, but come on. It's a fucking James Bond movie. That's not top five material. It is. But it's really good. Let me tell you, my,

the worst part of Casino Royale, the casino. Yes, the poker scene. The casino part of it. Right there in words, Wayne, except for the poker scene.

I hated the poker scene more than I hated Queen Latifah. If Queen Latifah had been the dealer in the poker scene, I would have liked it better. I hated it so much. But also,

I play a lot of poker, so that didn't help. I also play poker, but I would have liked it better. I hated it so much. But also, I play a lot of poker, so that didn't help. I also play poker, but I do remember in the early bonds, the doctor knows they would play that other game.

Baccarat. Yeah, or the guy would slide the thing out and everyone would touch their cards with no numbers and it didn't make

any sense at all and you could never figure out what was happening. So at least they appreciate they're playing Hold'em. Yeah, but it's just bizarre

that they're like, the game is Texas Hold'em. Here we go! Ooh, he's got a straight flush! He must be a good player or insanely lucky. He's fucking insanely lucky. It's not like he's so great.

Oh, okay, anyway. Right. Yeah, he drew the, it's just like at the end of Maverick, you know, Mel Gibson has four aces. Well, that's just fucking lucky. That's not, oh, anyway. Yeah, he drew the... It's just like at the end of Maverick, Mel Gibson has four aces. Well, that's just fucking lucky. That's not... Oh, what a great player,

the way he came up with those four aces. You know what he did? The way he willed them out of the deck. Right. You know what he did? He didn't play the deck, he played the man. That's right. He totally didn't.

He totally didn't play the man. The man got fucked. Yeah. It was a massive bad beat in that movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The casino In Casino Royale Is bad

Yes And I But the Royale Is fantastic And I And I applaud He was hot Who was

That guy What's his name James Bond Yeah what's his name Craig Stephen Daniel Craig I thought he was

Really good Really good Two first names Yeah Yeah he's good I thought he was really He Really good Two first names Yeah he's good I thought he was really He looked good In those shorts

Coming up out of the water Yeah it was like a Twist on the Ursula Andress thing It was a totally Twist on it It would have been great If he had her whole outfit on

If he had the top on as well Alright so Moving on I was going to say The Academy Award nominations Came out today This show is going to Ruin it People are going to say the Academy Award nominations came out today. This show is going to ruin it. People are going to listen to this a week from now,

but I have to applaud them on being smart enough to give Leonardo the nomination for my number seven movie, Blood Diamond. Because I liked him in that even though there wasn't a single moment where I wasn't going well he's doing a silly accent like I could never get over the accent but I thought he was good

I thought he was and I and and and and and Hunsu

really he's he's the emotional heart of that movie and really really made that movie work I thought I agree with you he's the emotional heart of that movie and really made that movie work, I thought. I agree with you. He's the emotional heart. Blood Diamond, I have a little problem with the script in that movie.

Oh, yeah? Yeah, yeah. I just felt like the story was just too preachy and too many crazy coincidences have to happen in order for him to even know about that diamond. The guy has to find the diamond, go over there. A person has to see him. Then something has to happen so that guy doesn't kill him immediately, then that guy has to be hurt enough to give the information to everyone in the jail,

but not too hurt that he's out, and what do you call it, has to be Brad, is it Brad Pitt? No, Leonardo, whatever his name is, Leonardo has to be in the jail at the same time to overhear that guy say that, it was just like... Did you miss at the beginning when it said, based on no facts whatsoever? You're supposed to let yourself go and just enjoy the brutal murders and beatings that occur throughout that motion picture.

And then that crazy scene where there's a million person refugee camp, or many million person refugee camp. He walks up to the fence like, oh, there's my wife and the boy and then he starts crying well they were hanging out right by the fence looking for him they were like hey we're over here right yeah and then there's a list i know he'd show up someday a list of all of those people i just i just i'll tell you i thought the whole thing was implausible and they could have had a beautiful moment when he's in london and he's standing and looking at some huge diamond in the window. And you're like, oh, this is what the message of the movie is.

And then you see that rat sitting there. Totally ruined it. I just liked that it was a drama, because it was a fairly serious movie. There was a couple of cute moments. No, the love story was... But just the fact that there was so much action in a drama. Because usually when there's action, it's like for fun. And this was like serious, scary action all the way through.

I didn't believe it. And those guys did one of my favorite movies, Glory. You didn't need a crazy love story to pump up Glory. Yeah, I didn't need it, but I did like it. And Jymon Hounsou fucking rocked that shit. Go, baby. Go, baby.

But now back to something more fun. My number six movie, Hostel. One person agrees with me. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. Tits, torture, a few titters. Tits and titters? What more could you want from a movie?

Did you see it? Unfortunately, I did not see it. One of the most hilarious, like, have you ever, has someone you hated and wanted to see dead ever just strolled in front of your car? The cathartic moment in that movie where the bitches that ensnared them in the hostile situation in the first place

that got them tortured just are in the middle of the street and run over a bull. And then the guy fucking, you know, punches the gas. It's fantastic. It's weird because that's the kind of movie I do like. It was just one of those years where that slipped through

because I just saw The Hitcher the other night. Which is this year. We'll talk about it next year. It'll be on my top. That's for next year's show. I don't know. That's 08. January 08.

Sean Bean is no Rutger Hauer. But the car was the Cutlass 442. That's for when I do Leno. He'll be into that. He'll know what I'm talking about. Yes, Leno will be so excited that you know about a car. The 442. Come on.

Go. Go. All right. So now we're into my top five. Oh, it's getting... How are we doing on time? Well, yeah. Let's check the time.

Good idea. Let's check the time. We're almost done. No, we got time. Okay. All right. Number five, and I'm guessing it's in your top four based on your earlier comment, The Queen.

Yes. Yes, it is. Obviously. Now, Wayne, I don't know about you. I never gave two flying shits about the royal family. Until? In my entire life. Even when Lady Di died, I was just like, oh, that's a shame.

Who cares? Like, and when they had the long coverage of the funeral, I was like, I don't give a goddamn about this. What about when she married? Do you remember when she married Charles, that thing? like when they had the long coverage of the funeral I was like I don't give a god damn about this what about when she married do you remember when she married Charles that thing

yeah I remember it but I was like okay they're getting married good for them okay and then the whole affairs and all that nonsense and just the whole

I was not interested at all in any of it and then this movie yeah between the writing and the acting and somewhat the directing

but it's a little you know it's not the flashiest movie in the world for years yeah between the writing and the acting and somewhat the directing, but it's a little, you know, it's not the flashiest movie in the world. For years. Between the writing and the acting, though, I was totally involved and captivated and interested the entire time. I mean, maybe someone who paid attention

to all that stuff may find it less interesting because they knew everything that happened. So your ignorance helped you. I didn't know that the queen sat around on her thumbs for a week not saying anything about the fucking former princess's horrible sudden death. Like she just sat around like an idiot. And so I didn't even really know that happened.

So watching the movie, I just found the whole story fascinating. Plus, I was on a plane. So it's not like I had options. Now, was it on the plane thing or did you have the digital video player? No, no, it was on the... I had the CD in my bag, but it just happened to be the movie on the plane, so I just

watched it their style. I just succumbed to watching it with the group in case there were any big laughs that we could all have together. And that's another thing that surprised me about it is it's actually is kind of funny like it's it's a very it's a very charming movie it's a of a good movie that's a good movie as a beginning as a middle and then it's compelling it doesn't shoot low yeah i think

it aims high and that helen mirren is just she's hot fat well yeah i mean the real queen wasn't as attractive as her. But you will admit there is kind of a sexuality to her. There was. I was waiting for the scene where she's, you know,

working it. But it's just, yeah, it was much more interesting than I could have ever imagined it to be. Made it. It's right here on my list. All right. It's a tie for number one.

It's a tie for number one. All right. Fantastic. Go ahead. Let's move on to number four on my list. All right. It's a tie for number one. It's a tie for number one. All right. Fantastic. Go ahead. Let's move on to number four on my list. Jackass, number two.

Yeah. I wish I had seen it. I've heard nothing but great things about it. Oh, my God. And when I went to the $3 theater to see it,

there was something wrong with the screening room that day, and they didn't have it, and then I couldn't get back. You know, the landmark theater on Fairfax right beverly oh you went yeah you went to see it on the cheap you wanted to see it for three bucks well i don't want to see it on television right because it's already out but go ahead i don't know what to say i'll tell me the

best i'll say idiots hurting themselves equals me laughing right and that they can make if they want to if they want to be in my top 10 list next year, make another one. That's all I say to them. Because I will never grow tired of it. I get a little put off by the vomiting and the nudity. Those two things, I don't need to say. Is there male nudity? Oh, yes. There's a lot of it.

And in fact, they kind of stole a little bit of Borat's thunder. Because a fat dude chases a midget naked through a public place. Oh. And when I saw Borat, I was like, seen it. But they didn't wrassle in front of everyone. But anyway, Jackass number two. Also, the thing about it is it's not only hilarious, it's also insanely suspenseful.

Because in this one, they set up things where you know a guy is about to get fucked up. Right. And you're just waiting for it to happen. Like, there's this one thing where they have a sign on a wall, and dudes come up and start reading it, and it's in small prints, and they have to get really close to it, and just suddenly this fucking fist shoots out and punches him in the face when they're trying to read this sign that says when lunch is, or whatever it says.

Wait, are these regular people or jackass? No, jackass people. They don't fucking punch strangers. I don't know. I thought it was like some guy at work is trying to read this. No, they create awkward situations for strangers for sure. They get a lot of shots of people looking. Don't they know?

But if you're a jackass, wouldn't you know? Well, they sort of do. But they also have these kind of lesser jackasses. There's this one guy that I swear wasn't in the first jackass, but I guess he was, but he just wasn't that prominent. So in this one, they every other scene, he gets fucking like, he opens up a mailbox and a thing

shoots out and punches him in the face. And it's always just like, he's just always dazed and sad after it happens. And then he shows up the next day for more. So you gotta love him for that. Right. Well, you don't have to worry about signing releases

because they're making the movie. Yeah, yeah. That's really good. And then, you know, but they get, most of the passerby people aren't blurred out. Right.

I heard the snake part was good. Yeah, they put, what's his name, Bam, they put him in a fucking container with a snake and he doesn't like snakes.

He's the Indiana Jones of jackass. Alright, alright, we'll go. And he just really flips out and starts crying and threatens to quit being jackass. The guy from the commercial with the... Alright, go ahead. Next one. I know him from his commercials.

I still want to say one more thing about jackass. I love it. Number two. When they do the sign on the wall when they do it to we man the little guy he has to stand on a chair to get punched in the face and off of the chair so when he's standing on that chair that was the single most suspenseful moment i will see it in movies probably ever because the thing they don't take into account is he could fall off the chair and break his fucking neck.

Like it could have killed him. And they're all standing around laughing waiting for it to happen. Oh my God. Well, we spoke about this the last time we were on that I feel like that movie, it was a historic movie because it was the first non-narrative movie

that wasn't really a documentary, that was a comedy that sort of was the first non-narrative movie that wasn't really a documentary. It was a comedy that sort of opened the door for Borat. Yeah, absolutely. And other movies that will be like that. No, Borat, it's definitely the gateway to Borat. And I thank them for their own movies and for Borat. Yeah, yeah, I do. Very much.

Biggest laughs I have in a theater ever. Number three is Little Miss Sunshine. Yeah. And it's in your... I have it right here. A screener copy of it. Not in my top one. Not tied for the top four.

No, because of the ending. Would it fall six or seven or eight? I may be. Now, can we talk about the ending? Has everybody seen it? No. Some people haven't seen it. There's always people.

It's been out for fucking ever. Well, it's not like a twist ending. It's not like... It's not a huge twist. And, well, that's the thing that aggravates me about their DVD sales. Yeah. Is that in the commercials for the movie now, they show the pageant and what the little girl does at the pageant, which is like, you know, a big reveal.

It's a big, like, it's a big moment that you'd want to not know before seeing the movie. You know what I mean? It's like if in the commercials for The Departed they showed that rat on the windowsill. You'd be like, I didn't need to know that,

that there's a rat in it. Crack, crack. but they show, like, one of the funniest moments in the movie to me, that one guy reacting

to what the little girl does cracked me up in the movie and then they blow it in the commercial. me that one guy reacting to what the little girl does cracked me up in the movie and then they blow it in the commercial. That whole scene was the rat in this movie for me. The way that rat

ruined that other movie that entire scene I thought was implausible. Yes. It was ridiculous and had that feel like everyone should be up cheering when this is happening

but it was just the opposite. But they didn't though. The people in the audience didn't. And there wasn't a slow clap for what happened. Like, it was, the reaction to it was pretty realistic. And there was a whole Weekend at Bernie's segment, I don't want to ruin it, that's terrible. Terrible comedy.

You mean Vacation, not Weekend at Bernie's. It was like exactly from Vacation. The grandparent dies, and they have to forge ahead. Yeah, you're right. You got me. There was never a dead body, the thing.

What? I'm saying Weekend at Bernie's was all about... It was entirely about a dead body. Yeah, yeah. They did a little of that kind of comedy, too.

They never propped up his body and acted like he was alive. I mean, they do, when the cop pulls him over, they do get out of it in kind of a goofy way, but it's pre-set.

It's not like... Look, I liked a lot in it. It just didn't make my top one. Okay. Well, I... And I saw it at some... I loved it, because it's the first

independent movie that takes place in a van in which no one gets molested. Oh. No, someone does get high, I think. My favorite van scene in every movie has to be the first Silence of the Lambs.

Oh, my God. Yeah, that's a terrific van scene. Really fun. You must have it just on a loop and watch it over and over again. Oh, so that's how you lure her in. I love carrying this chair. Could you help me get this chair in my van? Love it.

Could you help me get this lotion in the bucket? She puts the lotion. Yeah. Well, anyway, Little Miss Sunshine, I've seen twice on planes. Because the first time I saw it, I thought, that was a really cute movie. I didn't think it was a laugh riot, but I was charmed by it. And then I saw it a couple times on airplanes. And every time I see it, I thought, that was a really cute movie. I didn't think it was a laugh riot, but I was charmed by it. And then I saw it a couple times on airplanes, and every time I see it, I like it more. It grows on me more and more.

The characters are all really good. And I'm amused through the entire movie that the grandfather is teaching the little girl how to dance. And especially the first time you see it, you think, oh, he must know something about dancing. And then what he knows about it is exactly what that old perv would know about dancing. I love that. I love it. You're right, it's impossible, but it's just charming.

Can I ask you a question? Yes. The beginning movie, there's a beat in the movie where she gets off the phone, she's screaming. So-and-so can't make the pun, but the first runner up can go to the Little Miss Sunshine. Right. How could that girl ever have been first runner up in a beauty contest?

Did you see those hags that she was up against? I mean, they're all like a bunch of over made up whores. I know. But that's the other thing. That aspect of it was super realistic, I thought. No, I agree. But if you're making an indictment on beauty contests for kids, which, yeah, that's really hard to do. Really, everyone loves them.

You're really being risky in that. I felt like you weren't even true to that reality. Right. Well, you know, she lives in fucking New Mexico. New Mexico. Albuquerque or something. So she's probably the second hottest girl. She's the second hottest eight-year-old in Albuquerque.

All right. I'd like to see number one. All right. Because I think I'd really like her. But I love her. But I was thrilled that girl got nominated for Best Supporting Actress because she makes that movie work Like if

If they got a little kid In that movie that sucked It would have ruined it Absolutely ruined it So I loved her I know She was super cute I didn't like that part

She won't win Wayne relax Okay go ahead Number two We already talked about it We are running out of time So number two I'm not even going to say

The whole title That's how short we are in time My number two is Borat Yeah it's on there Top one Me like Me like it Is good

And Groundbreaking Also Last time you were on the show We talked about You started to talk about Like there's one scene In that movie

That's the funniest scene I've ever seen No that's not what I said And something to that effect Something about How great it was First of all I didn't And we didn't get to say

What the scene was And I've gotten emails From people't, and we didn't get to say what the scene was. And I've gotten emails from people going, what scene was he talking about? Well, I thought the wrestling naked scene. The wrestling naked, yeah. Which was ruined for you because you had already seen Jackass 2. Yeah. Well, it wasn't completely ruined. No, I thought it was, I didn't say, I said it was the biggest laugh I heard in a movie theater since the hair gel something about Mary.

Oh, okay. Yeah, that is what you said. Thanks for reminding me. All right. But I do. Oh, okay. That is what you said. Thanks for reminding me. All right. But I do. That's why I asked you what you said, because I did not remember. I mean, literally, people were like rocking in their chairs laughing.

It was so thrilling to listen to. Well, yeah, but also theater chairs rock now, so. It's not like it was the 50s and people, oh, everyone was rocking in their sturdy chairs. Good point, good point. All right. Put on the gloves, Wayne. Please don't Good point. All right. Put on the gloves, Wayne.

Please don't say it. Here we go. You know I'm going to say it. What else could I possibly say? My number one movie, Children of Men.

Oh. The worst. The most overrated movie of the year. But that's part of why I love it. Yeah. Because everyone

doesn't love it. If everyone loved it, it would be Dream Girls or some shit. No. No. What do you mean everyone loved it, it would be Dreamgirls or some shit. No, no. What do you mean everyone loves it? We got boos from people in the audience. Not a couple. It was a good seven or eight people compared to the 40 or 50 that agree with me.

And several haven't seen it yet. Applaud if you haven't seen it yet. Wow. You are lucky. You are lucky that you haven't seen it. Don't watch the commercials though Because it gets way too much It is horrible

It is bad I know I know someone Who saw it in an early press screening And said Children of Men is horrible I walked out of it Who is that person?

And when the movie came out I'm not going to say Right I don't want to disparage her name I don't want to But after When it came out I waited a few days

Because she had told me It was so horrible She walked out I was like Oh wow I can't believe that Alfonso Cuaron made a horrible movie, but I'm going to believe her. And then I went anyway, and I fucking loved it. But that may have helped me to love it, being told it's so bad you'll want to walk out.

I have it as my number one overrated film of the year. The one that has mesmerized the community. Unfortunately, it hasn't though. It didn't get nominated for Best Picture. Yesterday, before today, people were really talking about it. And also, if you go to something called Rotten Tomatoes, which is on your internet. Never

heard of it. I've heard of Rotten Tomatoes, not the internet. Yeah. It's the number one rated. It was just so pretentious, preachy,'s fantastic. Preachy. Some of the best staging of action I've ever seen. I will give you that. Michael Caine smoking a joint.

Reason to be number one right there. All right, all right. All right. If you can believe, how old a hippie was he? Was he 114? Come on. Look at me, Wayne. I'm 25.

Weed is good for you. I'm just saying I just had no idea Where it was going The whole time I found it very Suspenseful And exciting And

I will admit There was a couple When people died They got fucked up So good That opening sequence That ends with the lady Walking around

Carrying her own arm God damn it It was just I Look I think that's what I just... At first I was like, comparing this to Blade Runner?

No, no. The ads? And then I saw it and went, well, you know what? It's an apt comparison because it is equally... Ridiculous! We have an audience divided.

It makes no sense. If you care about plot, if you care about logic, you might be able to make it through half of that movie if you don't you care if you're high and all you care about is a guy getting thrown off a motorcycle in one shot in the same shot that you got shot in the head oh yeah okay i could watch that over and over again yeah i cannot get enough of that sequence i mean that's the thing though i mean sometimes you know it's your own logic comes into it because like

certainly there's plenty of movies I've seen where I'm like oh that doesn't make any sense to me you know it doesn't hold up logically

but in that case I was just gripped by the just the overall storytelling and the look of it and the and just the way

everything went down I was just fascinated by it from beginning to end and it's just the sort of movie I like to put movies in my top five that like I want to see again and again. And I'm psyched about seeing that movie again.

Okay, so let me just ask you a question. You have one... I feel like I'm going to ruin this whole thing by talking about this movie. A lot of people haven't seen it. Uh-oh. La, la, la, la, la. Fingers and ears. Because it's...

Do you want to come back in three or four months and discuss it because if they haven't seen it by then I'm going to kick them in the just know that the ending let me just say

you got to go to a buoy and hope that's literally it that's it that's the hope that's mankind you got to but that's

from nobody they taught they talked to a mirror they talked to a mirror they talked to a doorknob they gave them the information and they're going to base the chance for humanity to survive. Well, Sandra Bullock taught us that hope floats, Wayne. You're right.

So I covered all yours, right, except for you also put, clumped into your top four, United 93. United 93. Excellent, fantastic movie. I never want to see it again or think about it ever again in my life I mean it's

extremely well done it could be my number one of my number one it's extremely well done and I'm glad I saw it I'm glad that guy got nominated for best director because it's

amazingly good but it's fucking torture to sit through I'd rather watch people being tortured in Romania in hostile or midgets punched

in the face falling to their deaths, than this true life, horrible story. And those people that said it was too soon and all that stuff, I don't have any of those kind of issues, because I think 20 years from now, that movie will be as disturbing as it is today, and maybe even more so.

But the filmmaking was so nuanced and beautiful. It was just incredible. It was hard to watch. It was great. Can I make a quick note about the movie Tamara? Yes, you can. Not a lot of people saw it, but it was a mind... 12 seconds.

I don't even know what it is. It's a mind control movie. I love those kind of movies. Whenever someone can control... Tamara. Yeah. From what country? United States.

It's an American movie? Yeah. Who's in it? Some chick. Some high school girl. Some chick named Tamara? Yeah. And it's about controlling States it's an American movie yeah who's in it some chick some high school girl some chick named Tamara yeah and it's about controlling her mind

yeah she was like the ugly girl and they tried to kill her and then she got these powers and then it was revenge you sure this isn't like a porn site or something that you

no it's that you like and also in my favorite performance of the year was Forrest Whitaker in the Idi Amin movie right but like

I haven't seen that movie because I just have a sense that he's fantastic, but it's not like Helen Mirren where it's the kind of fantastic that makes it worthwhile. Although I will say this. If you're the doctor for Idi Amin, the one person you don't want to sleep with misses Idi Amin.

Oh, okay, good tip, good tip. Good tip in case Idi Amin comes back from the dead and we become doctors. No, I'm just saying in the movie it was a little weird. It's like, okay, it's dangerous enough out here without you sleeping with one of the president's wives. Well, I have to thank you, Wayne, for coming out and doing this and going head to head with me on this. I will come back with the Children of God and let more people see it. Children of Men.

Children of Men. What's Children of God? There was City of God and Children of God. There's a bunch of see it. Children of Men. Children of Men. What's Children of God? There was City of God and Children of God. There's a bunch of God movies. Children of Men. Agnes of God, probably the best one. I walked into that movie shaking my head like, wow. That is just... I just

thought it was bad filmmaking with a couple great action sequences. Okay. That's the best I can give it. Well, those two action sequences did it for me. The human project exists. I'm just an idiot best I can give it. All right. Well, those two action sequences did it for me. The human project exists. I'm just an idiot. I'm an idiot.

Logic does not enter my process. It's not even logic. It's an insult to anyone who knows the English language. We really do have to pick this up in another show. Do you have anything you want to plug really quickly? No. Unaccompanied Minors came and went faster than I expected. Well, that's number 11 on my list.

It was really close. And Knocked Up is coming out earlier than they... It was going to come out in April. Excuse me, August. Now it's coming out in June. They moved it up because of the... Because of the screenings. Yeah, it's hot.

It's the first time I've ever gotten... I got an ad for that movie in the mail. What do you mean? Like an envelope addressed to me. Yeah. You know, typed on there.

In care of the podcast? From Universal Pictures. Yeah. No, just because I'm in the Writers Guild or whatever. Right. But just saying...

And it's like this thing that folds out like, knocked up is coming soon. Like, not an invite to see it. Just a, it's coming. And there's nothing you can do to stop it. And, uh, but I'm sure it's going to be hilarious because

it's, you know, it's all, it's a lot of the same people that did uh, the 40 year old virgin. And Wayne Fetterman is in it, ladies and gentlemen. Wayne Fetterman, everybody! Thank you! Uh, this is Doug Benson saying uh, William, William. Willem Dafoe is a shithead.

Now it's time for Doug to William... William. Willem Dafoe is a shithead.
