Doug hates candy wrappers screening baby sticky seeds
With 50 azotop or kernels in his teeth
There's still not one that he won't see
Cause Doug loves movies Yeah, the listeners won't know that I walked out
and then made hand gestures to get you to do that.
Hey, hey, hey, everybody.
My name is Doug, and I love movies.
This is Doug Loves Movies.
Yeah!
That went better than I thought it would would and that guy needs to be removed
that was really quite good and i appreciate uh everybody being on top of it uh normally
when i play a festival there's a lot of people in the audience that really biff that part
and uh you know i say this is d is Douglas Weasley, and they go,
Hi, Doug! We're coming to you once again
from Esther's Follies as part of South by Southwest in Austin,
Texas!
The glasses go up, you go clap.
It's like an applause sign.
Hey, stop it.
Exactly.
Exactly two years ago, this is the sad part,
they canceled South By, and I came to Austin anyway.
Yeah, that's right.
I did a few small shows, and I spent the first month as an Austinite in lockdown.
And yeah, staying in a hotel in downtown Austin
for the first three or four weeks of the lockdown
was interesting, to say the least.
It really felt apocalyptic.
And so, like I said, I did manage to get in a few shows.
But basically, this is finally the return.
Last year, we did a virtual version
of Doug loves movies as part of the virtual South by Southwest but now we are back
and I couldn't be happier about it I brought some stuff to give away. Also, some stuff fell into my lap since I've been here,
starting with this. Well, this bag I already had. I brought it with me. It's a bag that I got when
I went to the premiere of the movie Uncle Frank that's on Prime with Paul Bettany as Uncle Frank.
It's good. Sir, God damn it.
You cannot just sit right in the front row
and have something to say about everything that happens.
You need to stop talking completely or move.
Don't do the tick-a-lock thing,
because that's what a drunk person does.
They go, okay, and then they pretend
they're making their mouth a lock,
but the drunk person's going to talk again
within two minutes.
We'll see how you do.
Right?
Put your mask on.
I've got a hat that I got at the Summer in Argyle event that they had yesterday here,
which was a hot dog feast.
They invited us to a three-course hot dog meal,
and it was as terrible as it sounds.
They had a calamari appetizer.
That was a calamari crust on a little hot dog.
Didn't they?
Gross.
And then it was like sitting in a puddle of goop.
And then they had, I mean, it was really sitting in a puddle of goop and then they had i mean it was really
creative let's say that because then they go here's your hot dog steak and it was a steak cut
in half and just laid out flat on the plate and mashed potatoes those were good and um oh this
was at a place called bangers by the way uh credit to them for they made this for the event because the city of Argyle or town of Argyle in this podcast that you can hear on Audible,
they love their hot dogs because it's a boring town.
And their most fancy restaurant is a combination restaurant and the DMV.
So it sounds like a really funny show
that Bob Odenkirk and his son Nate Odenkirk created.
Lots of people from Mr. Show are on it.
And also in the prize bag,
oh, I should say for the listeners,
it's a bucket hat that says Summer in Argyle.
And bucket hats are back for some reason.
I thought people would go,
Woody Allen wears those and stop.
Okay, and then Mediterranean apricots that they gave me on the plane.
Also gross.
Oh, I didn't finish my story.
The third course of the banana thing was dessert,
and it was supposed to be like a hot dog sundae,
and it was a bun with a banana in it
and then ice cream on top
that they managed to find some sauces to put on that
that looked like ketchup and mustard.
I mean, it looked cool.
Also, the bag is a cookie that says
The After Party on it
from that great TV show that was just on Apple TV
and got picked up for another season.
And speaking of TV shows,
the company Lumen from Severance
sent me one of the snacks
that's in their snack machine.
In this case, it's raisins.
I don't like good raisins,
so I can't think of any raisins to eat these.
And thank you very much.
That guy groaned right on cue. And then, and you're doing great, by the way. I'm sorry I yelled at you.
You just never know, you know, downtown Austin, some people come in drunk. Who's drunk right now?
See, they're gonna, you need to police them, if you don't mind.
Oh, he gave him a little
heart. And then
finally, three months
subscription to Audible, a code
for that, so you can
listen to this show
summer in Argyle.
And finally,
a rubber
pipe by the company called Peacemaker
that's only been used once in the alley.
All of that is going to be won by somebody today.
One lucky individual is going to have more random crap
to bring home from South by Southwest.
Who is at South by Southwest from out of town?
And who lives here in Austin?
Now fight!
All right, that's a stupid joke I stole from my friend Dan Gabriel.
Anyway, it's time to get the guests out here.
Are you ready?
The guests are always a surprise.
Lots of guests here at South By will list who's going to be...
Oh, I love this.
They have usher seating people,
but they're wearing vests like they work in construction.
Or that we're on fucking Mopac right now.
You need to stick with a little pointy thing on the end
and pick up the garbage. Or now he's landing a plane. You guys to stick with a little pointy thing on the end and pick up the garbage.
Now he's landing a plane. You guys do it all.
Reminds me of the city of Argyle.
It sounds like
same thing goes on there.
Let's get my guests out here.
Please welcome Brandon Collins,
Marina Franklin, Blair Saki,
and Lisa Trager.
Yes!
Got some hot mics out here.
I said, you better have the most beautiful, hot, bejeweled mics that I've ever seen.
And Esther's Follies came through.
These are beauties.
Hey, how's everybody?
Hi.
Hi, Doug.
Hello.
Let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically.
And by that, I mean last name.
So people don't get confused.
Because I like my guests to know who's next.
He's first and he's sitting right next to me.
It's Brandon Collins, everybody!
What's going on?
What's up, Austin?
Your first South By.
This is my first South By, yeah.
Exciting.
It is dope. A lot of barbecue and late night drinks. I love Austin.
Yeah, I think everybody in this room knew that already.
But the listeners might not, and it's always good to reinforce that.
And also, I want to ask you, because you are a real movie maven,
what have you seen so far?
I mean, I know the film festival started yesterday,
but have you caught anything?
I've only seen cheese and everywhere, everything and all over the place.
I don't know the title of the movie, but it was weird as hell, but it was dope.
It was a dope way to open a film.
Everything, everywhere, all at once.
There you go.
I think.
It's what it's called.
It's Dr. Seuss, Riddle.
Which sounds like that abortion movie Always Never Frequently Ever
or whatever that was called.
It's the titles are out of control these days.
I don't know what to do anymore.
Why can't a movie just be called Frank?
Like the old days
and just wear a big papier-mâché head.
So, Brandon.
What's up?
I kind of read a synopsis of everything
everywhere all at Once.
It stars Michelle Yeoh and Jamie Lee Curtis is in it for some reason.
Because it sounds like a mostly Asian cast.
Yes.
So can you give us what it's about without giving it away?
It's like this woman who has a struggling business
and then it becomes like the Matrix meets like an Acme
cartoon. It's pretty
bizarre and I was high as fuck
when I watched it too. So I might
have just made up half the movie but
it was enjoyable from the two
and a half hours I saw. It's a long
ass movie. It is pretty long. Yeah.
And then they did the
intro at the beginning and the Q&A at the end
and the whole thing started late. I didn't say Q&A. Yeah, you then they did the intro at the beginning and the Q&A at the end, and the whole thing started late.
I didn't say Q&A.
Yeah, you got to get out of there.
They put a mic stand in the middle of each row of the theater,
and people line up to ask questions.
They line up so deep, like people don't have a chance
or in line to ask a question,
and every question drives me nuts.
It's always like, I have a two-parter,
or before I ask my question, I have to tell you, I'm your biggest fan.
In front of a fucking room full of people that are all fans of the person.
You don't know if someone definitely was asking a bunch of questions about Halloween to Jamie Lee Curtis.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
This is even...
Yeah, they'll really take it off track very easily.
First of all, Michelle Yeoh, I want to say that you're better than Jackie Chan
and he shouldn't have been mean to you.
Yeah, that's how they start their questions.
Okay.
Our next guest is a first-timer on the show
and I'm so excited to have her.
Marina Franklin is here.
Hello.
Hi, everybody.
I don't know what voice that was.
Sorry.
It was fun.
I haven't been out the house.
This is a lot.
Star of Trainwreck.
Oh, well, not the star.
Yeah.
Thank you.
I mean, you were the star of my favorite scene in the movie.
Oh, yes.
The movie theater scene with Keith Robinson.
Yeah, where the two of you are giving John Cena and Amy a real hard time,
and it's freaking hilarious.
Yes, Keith Robinson and I, it worked because we actually did date,
and we've had moments like that several times where we fight with people.
Yeah, I'd imagine comedian couples aren't going to just sit there and let people be stupid right there in front of them.
Yes.
Yes.
So it worked out.
How are you enjoying your South by thus far?
Well, I just got here last night, so I'm just the noise.
I mean, no, the music.
Did I call it noise?
I'm sorry.
Yeah, they call this noise city.
The noise capital of the world.
I'm a 311 caller.
So, yes, this is new, and this is a lot for me,
but I'm enjoying it so far.
I'm looking at the people
and trying to figure out what's going on racially.
That's what I usually do when I'm anywhere new.
I just want to see how black people are doing.
So far, just one person got arrested, so that's good.
Oh, yeah.
Well, you've got to go out on 6th at nighttime, and it's a real arrest festival out there.
It's an arrestableival Arrest-ival
I didn't get a groan out of that guy
Alright
Also joining us today
Is another favorite
Blair Saki
Oh what's up Doug
I've just been dying to hear that voice in person again.
I'm your biggest fan.
And are you mad at the way that I treated Michelle Yeoh
when we made that movie together?
No.
I totally know what you're talking about.
Yeah.
It's just a reference to what I was saying earlier, but I was just blabbering.
So it's no reason for anybody to remember it.
No, I remember.
But, you know, the.
OK, anyways, I didn't see you out in the alley when I was spoken.
But you are a you have been a frequent guest on Getting Dark with High.
Oh yeah, I love it.
So you're probably having a nice time here in Austin.
I am, I am enjoying myself immensely.
Great town you guys have here.
Thank you for having me.
It's a great town half of you have here.
The rest of you don't even know where the fuck you're from.
Who thinks they're here from the farthest away?
Oh, so
everybody just came in from San Antonio
on a bus?
And finally,
on the opposite end,
it's Lisa Trager!
So thrilled. I'm here to win.
Yeah, I know you're always very competitive.
And unfortunately, Brandon knows a lot.
And Marina and Blair are wild cards.
Anything can happen today.
And I'm excited to see it play out.
And I'm excited to have the star of The King of Staten Island here.
Thank you.
Yep, I had a low ponytail, if any of you remember.
I do.
And I kept arguing.
I was like, are you sure she can't have a high ponytail?
And they were like, please stop talking.
You glorified extra.
I'm glad you stood up for your low pony.
But you are great in that movie
it's uh again some of the funniest scenes in the movie involve you and uh that restaurant did you
have restaurant serving experience or did you have to fake it yes I worked at Chicago Joe's
and it wasn't a real restaurant like we ate off the brunch buffet. We would eat salads in front of customers. We had no respect.
The guys
who owned it lived upstairs and they would get
sex workers and the bus
boys had to bring Coronas upstairs.
It was a wild time. They were terrible people
and it did close down.
Great food.
Great food. The best
Reuben I've ever had.
I loved my time there oh
did you ever meet chicago joe no it wasn't real but sometimes people would come in and be like i
know joe and we're like okay uh okay oh the best was um wednesdays was five dollar flavored martini
nights and i just saw people fall apart that was the best night like five chocolate martinis and
women uh yeah while hostess got pushed.
I loved being a waitress.
I used to work at Bubba Gump
and people would come in all the time and be like,
hey, is Forrest ever coming here?
We got a lot to talk about.
I swear to God,
I was going to say, I go in to Bubba Gump
and say, I know Forrest.
And you jumped in there and got there
ahead of me, but I still want to be on the record.
And we can maybe do some editing later.
I'd be fucked up.
Just cuts you in front of me.
I just, when you say a good one, I'll repeat it
and then cut your version out.
And if it's a good audience, they'll laugh both times.
Oh, I do just want to tell everyone
I did sprain my ankle yesterday,
and I would like you all to know that.
Thank you.
How do you think that'll affect
your trivia knowledge today?
I think it'll make me sharper.
I think, yeah.
She was talking a lot of trash to me last night.
Was I?
Yeah, yeah.
You were like, yeah,
I definitely think I'm going to beat you. And I was like, you don't need to be last night. Was I? Yeah, yeah. You were like, yeah, I definitely think I'm gonna beat you.
And I was like, you don't need to be doing this.
You probably will.
Yeah, but Brandon's a curveball. I didn't know
that he was gonna beat me tonight.
So much pressure, yeah.
It sounds like Blair's been triggered.
We don't know.
We actually
don't know what's gonna happen.
I did watch White Men Can't Jump on the plane ride here. So you guys don't know what's going to happen. I did watch White Men Can't Jump on the plane ride here,
so you guys don't know if I'm faking or not right now.
Oh, can I...
Do you think this is a freak move or not?
The guy next to me on a flight I was on recently
watched back-to-back Silence of the Lambs,
then Django Unchained.
Holy shit.
That guy likes angry white men, I guess. That's the common theme there. change. Holy shit.
That guy likes angry white men, I guess.
That's the common theme there.
Oh, Brandon's already showing off.
Yes.
He's seen
both of those.
What a cineast.
Alright, let's do
a thing I like to do before we play the games,
before Lisa just tears into everybody.
I like to ask all my guests to recommend one movie.
Brandon knew this question was coming, I think.
So we'll start with him.
Just recommend one movie that you think people might enjoy.
Yeah, I recently watched in the plane,
speaking of the way here,
Radio Silence, who are this production team,
did this movie called Ready or Not,
which is a really dope horror film
about the person I have a marriage
that falls apart immediately.
If you don't know anything about it,
just watch it.
It's fucking awesome.
And these guys also did the new Scream. So it's a cool horror film. Not too gory. It's fucking awesome. And these guys also did the new Scream.
It's a cool horror film.
Not too gory. It's a lot of fun.
Yeah. What's the
name of that lady that's in it?
Weaving?
Yeah, yeah.
Hugo Weaving's niece, I believe.
I'm thinking of her first name, though.
Yeah, you remember him because he's in The Matrix,
but she's on her way too
she's really good
ready or not
here Brandon comes
I guess no one likes that movie
deafening silence
I loved the new Scream
it was dope right
yeah I really liked it
that makes sense
I didn't know who the new Scream who was behind it but I heard good things Yeah, I mean, that makes sense.
I didn't know who the new screen, who was behind it,
but I heard good things, and now it's all making sense.
Lisa, do you have a movie you'd like to recommend?
Yeah, one of my favorite movies is now on Netflix.
It's newly there called Friends With Money.
I love it.
It's Jennifer Aniston, Frances McDormand,
Catherine Keener, and Joan Cususack and then some men. The dad
from Modern Family
but
it's about a group of friends
and Jennifer Aniston's a poor maid
which like okay but
I love it.
Since it got on Netflix
I've already watched it three times. It's like one of my comfort
movies so if you want to be comforted
yeah
and if you want
you know
if you want to trick a dude
into watching it
I guess
you know
mention that she wears
a French made outfit
for a good portion
of the film
or just look up
those pictures online
I guess
is another way to do it
yeah James Caan's
son's in it
what's his name
Scott Caan
okay Blair got on that real quick everything's a another way to do it. Yeah, James Caan's son's in it. What's his name? Scott Caan.
Blair got on that real quick.
Everything's a competition.
I think about Scott Caan every day when I wake up.
I really do.
Someone loves the last two seasons
of Entourage over here.
It's me.
He seems like...
Scott Caan could be
the nicest guy in the world,
but every character he plays is some asshole.
It seems like he would get his head stuck in a jar.
Right?
That's probably why you like him.
You like bad boys, don't you, Blair?
Doug, please!
I'm trying to change.
I am trying so hard.
Scott Cahn's such a babe, though. Wow. Yeah, you like that? I love Scott so hard. Scott Conn's such a babe, though.
Wow.
Yeah, you like that?
I love Scott Conn.
I just feel like he's always getting out of the surf in Malibu, you know, on his way to his auditions.
He does them a lot.
All right, so who else hasn't recommended a movie yet?
Oh, Blair.
Let's go to you, Blair.
Okay, I would have to recommend to the Doug Loves Movie audience
Disney's Luca.
I don't think Scott Cahn is in that.
I'm so thrilled that these two kind people clapped for it
because it is an incredible film that a lot of you seem to be sleeping on.
It's a gorgeous tale set on, you know,
a Positano maybe in Italy.
Have you seen it, Doug?
Sure.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
No, I did see it.
I was saying sure to the setting.
I'm not exactly positive,
but I'll agree with it
wherever you say it takes place
because you loved it. I liked it a great deal but I'll agree with it. Wherever you say it takes place, because you loved it.
I liked it a great deal.
I enjoyed it very much.
Have you seen Encanto yet?
I did.
Of course I did.
That's really good, too.
Yeah.
I thought that was a bit much, though, for kids.
But, I mean, good.
They do tackle big themes.
Generational trauma, I heard.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Disney's take on
generational trauma.
Trauma in our songs.
Every character in the movie has a different
thing they're dealing with.
And then the house
itself is pretty fucked up.
Yeah, and it's like
it's really about the theme that
sometimes we have gifts that
don't exactly match up to the people that we're
staring at comparing our lives to but those gifts are actually just inherently as valuable gifts or
gifts and finally my four-year-old niece did not get that for some reason but great
you know the big burly
oldest daughter that's real
strong
oh we're talking about Encanto I thought we were talking about Luca
yeah yeah
we're still in Encanto I can't remember Luca
because I saw it too long ago but I just saw Encanto
but the big burly woman in it,
that's another great representation to have
in an animated film for kids.
But on the Kelly Clarkson show,
or one of those shows,
I watch too many of those shows,
they showed there's a woman in real life
who everybody keeps saying,
you look like, what's her name from Encanto?
And they showed a picture of her, and it's crazy.
Well, you know,
Disney didn't think anyone would like the muscly
woman, so they didn't make merch for her,
and then kids all over the country are like,
we want her, and so Disney had to suddenly
make toys of, you know, a muscle woman,
because they didn't think anyone would like her.
All they have to do is take old
Stretch Armstrong dolls
and put a little
hair on it.
She's a great character and her song I think
is one of the highlights of the movie.
I'll say it. I don't
fucking care.
The Bruno song's on the radio.
I was driving and it's like
when was the last time you heard
a cartoon song on the radio?
Let It Go, that fucking song.
Holy shit.
But that was two Frozens ago.
It's been a minute.
I fucking hate that song.
It doesn't make you feel powerful?
Powerful and you can do stuff?
You don't get...
It would have been fine if I didn't have to hear it
seven times
in a row from this little girl on the way to Universal
Studios. And I'm like, you got
the wrong studio that we're going to do, little girl.
But I can't tell it
to a kid, you know.
Who's this loose kid?
What kind of loose kids are you
hanging out with?
Holy shit. What kind of loose kids are you hanging out with? Hush.
Were there people sitting in those two seats earlier?
Okay, good.
I was really worried we walked people already.
They went to go watch Luca.
Sometimes these recommendations are so strong
that people just jump out of their seats and run and go do it.
That's the great thing about podcasting.
The listeners can just pause it, watch a whole
movie, and come back.
Marina Franklin,
first-time guest, what's your
recommendation? And I gotta be fully
transparent, which my pilot said
yesterday.
Oh, that's a weird opener.
Yeah. I gotta be
honest, folks. My pilot was like, let me be transparent.
I was like, no.
But this is scary for me, actually.
I do stand up.
But this is, like, coming up with names and movies.
I have no memory.
I'm getting to that point.
I don't even remember people I know, Lisa.
So, like, it's really hard to come up.
But I was thinking, like, the movie that stands out to me that really I,
because I'm into horror, I'm addicted, is Lighthouse.
Which I just happened upon it because I was watching another Gruesome movie
and they said, if you think this was weird, watch Lighthouse.
And I was like, yeah, this is fucking weird.
Watch Lighthouse.
And I was like, yeah, this is fucking weird.
And I'm so, you know, it's got like a little bit of like, you know, isolation themes going in it, which I relate to. And being around someone you don't like, which was my ex-boyfriend.
You know, and Robert Duvall.
Is it Robert Duvall?
See, there we go.
Yeah, yeah.
William Duvall.
It's William Duvall.
See, I did it. I's Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson.
I'm going to lose this fucking game.
I'm telling you,
I don't know people, I just like what you do.
What's the name of the bird
that Robert Pattinson beats to death?
That's the kind of trivia you're going to be asked today.
Easy stuff.
I think his name is Scuttle.
Seek Scuttle. Yeah,
it's a great movie.
It's, yeah, it's something.
I still don't understand the ending, but yeah.
Yeah, so that guy also did
The Witch. Did you see that?
No.
I probably did.
Yeah, it was
another freaking weird one.
And now the next one he has coming out,
he's just got together with all the weird actors
from the first two movies.
And this one's going to be about Vikings.
Of course.
Natural progression.
Right?
Another movie about my ex-boyfriend.
With each movie, he goes further out to sea.
And a lot of white guys. All right. Thanks for those recommendations. Another movie about my ex-boyfriend. With each movie, he goes further out to sea. I like it.
All right.
Thanks for those recommendations.
And we are going to play some games.
Our first game is going to be played.
Sorry.
Did that come out?
I was like, oh.
Oh.
I actually am sorry.
Ricky.
We're going to play some games right after this break.
We'll be right back. We're going to play some games right after this break. We'll be right back.
We're back!
Yeah!
Yeah!
My guest did a great job
of picking people to play on behalf
of in the games.
That person, the winner,
will walk away with
the prize bag.
We got Jesse 2 Mama Tambien is who Brandon's playing for.
And Marina's playing for a man named Cody who changed Ladybugs to Codybugs.
And there's a woman in the front row named Chandra with a Ghostbusters purse.
She got picked by Lisa.
And Blair's playing for Eric.
Arr!
Eric the tech entrepreneur.
And the first game
we're going to play today is called
Who Has My Pig?
Who has my pig?
I'm a fan
of the Nicolas Cage movie, Pig.
Which is kind of a horror movie, Marina.
And in the film, Nicolas Cage,
who might be in this city as we speak,
because he has, there's a movie that he's in
premiering tonight called
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
Yeah, and he plays the title character.
I love Nicolas Cage.
Anyway, so I love him so much that I have a bad impression I do of him from the movie Pig,
where he plays a man who loses his pig and spends the whole film trying to find his pig.
And he asks people, do you have my pig?
Or do you know where my pig is? Who has my pig?
It's all questions like that. They don't change very much.
Also, it's not a comedy.
Okay, so I am going to, as Nick Cage,
describe a celebrity while accusing them of having my pig.
Or, you know, wondering if they have my pig.
There's going to be clues in what I say to them.
And you can all guess as often as you'd like.
But the first person to guess the correct answer,
I will stop and say, you are correct.
Hopefully two people won't say it at the same time.
There was an answer already tonight in the pregame portion where people yelled out Scott K it at the same time. There was an answer already tonight in the pregame portion
where people yelled out Scott Kahn at the same time.
Such a babe. Oh, my God.
I bet you can fuck him.
I hope so.
Yeah.
I don't think he's into tech, though, Blair.
Yeah, I'm playing for Eric right now.
In my mind,
he's William Dafoe.
Just so you know.
I'm like, Scott Collins,
William Dafoe. Go ahead.
Focus on what's in front of you right now, Blair.
And that's Eric.
This is all about Eric.
Did everybody
understand the instructions?
Kind of.
Are we buzzing?
Yelling the answer?
Just go ahead and yell it out.
Order, okay.
Yeah, yeah.
Because I'm not going to stop to call on you because I get really passionate
playing Nick Cage.
I grew my hair out
just so I look more like this character in Pig.
I'm keeping it dirty for the same reason.
Jesus. Gross.
Okay.
Do you have
my pig?
Nicolas Cage.
I'm gonna do that
one day. He's gonna be the answer one day.
That'd be hilarious.
Ten points, Blair and Eric. You gotta hear the rest of the clues. That's going to be the answer one day. That'd be hilarious. Ten points, Blair and Eric.
But no, it's not. You've got to hear the rest of the clues.
That's just sort of the setup.
Do you have my pig?
I am miserable
without her.
Every night
is a dark night
without her.
She's my princess
and I write about it in my diary. Heath Ledger! She's my princess and I write about it in my diary.
Heath Ledger!
She's my princess and I write about
it in my diary.
Anne Hathaway?
That is correct.
Oh, you're
sick. That was fucking weird.
That was a roundabout way to get to that.
Fucking Riddler over here.
I don't know anybody else who's in
Les Miserables, The Dark Knight,
and The Princess Diary movies,
but there might be crossover there.
Might be somebody in the background
that did all three of those.
I was also going to say,
because of her, I have true serenity.
Which is a movie
she was in that I never saw
because apparently it's terrible.
You also did sound like Nicolas Cage from Con Air.
You really did.
Well, he has long hair in both.
Yeah.
And I did see it again recently.
One of the best movies of all time.
It is ridiculous.
Con Air, everybody.
Go ahead and give it up for Con Air.
Because it's also, you know,
it's got some parts that are troublesome.
And that is also part of the fun now.
I can't think of one.
Oh, when the child molester's in the park
talking to the little girl,
that doesn't make you cringe.
He doesn't do anything,
but you don't know that
when the scene starts.
It's very disturbing.
Yes, go ahead.
Nothing.
I was going to sing a song
and then I remember the rights
and someone could sue you,
so I stopped.
I kind of want you to sing it now.
Emphasis on kinda.
All right, so go, sing it.
I don't know,
just I was singing
the song Steve Buscemi sings,
you know,
I got the whole world.
You remember that part?
Yeah.
Yeah, I regret everything.
I think that song
is public domain, right?
I can't believe
they would pay for that.
Okay.
Brandon got the first round.
There's 72 more rounds.
Did you steal my pig?
I bet you stole my pig and covered her in grease, too.
Michelle Pfeiffer.
That is correct.
There's other actors in Grease 2.
I was going to say John Travolta,
but I was too slow to draw.
No, he's in Grease 1.
Yeah.
Fuck.
I want to say this next part
just because it made me laugh
when I was writing it down.
Are you Tony Hawk's wife, Lady Hawk?
Oh, and there's also a theme
that might help you to figure out
the answers in this game.
I should have reminded everybody.
Round three.
Do you have my pig?
When I find her, I'm going to throw a monster of a ball.
Halle Berry.
That is correct.
I figured out the theme, so that's why.
I should have gotten that.
My story. I should have gotten that my story this is the next clue in that one
if you have my pig I hope you die
another day
alright here we go
oh shit somebody fell down All right, here we go.
Oh, shit.
Somebody fell down.
Is everybody ready?
Yeah, Lisa, get that mic close.
You're so far away from your mouth,
I could just see you smashing it into your face to answer the question.
Do you have my pig, Zoe Kravitz?
Zoe Kravitz?
That is correct.
Brandon is our winner!
What? She's done stuff Doug
that's crazy
everybody that listens to the show knows
the last one every time I just say
somebody's name to see how quickly everybody
picks up on that they should just
repeat the name back to me
and then I had a tiebreaker too
do you have my pig, Ursa Kit?
Because
all five of those women are
Catwomans. Oh, wow!
Yeah.
It's a nice Catwoman theme.
And Brandon,
not surprisingly, has won our
first game, but there's still
one more game left to play.
And it's anyone's yeah
Chandra damn it Chandra Chandra Chandra Chandra there's really only one game
left oh yeah but it's a it's a big one okay yeah it's really anyone's game so
game, so.
What is Eric going to give you
if you win on his behalf?
Let's raise the stakes.
That's what I'm saying.
How long are you in town for, Eric?
Full fest.
I love that expression.
I'm going to start saying it to people in elevators.
Are you here full fest?
He must be
working Ramon.
Okay,
so he's here full fest. She's only here for a few
days because she's got a very active and
busy career.
And Scott
Khan's probably not here. He's probably in L.A.
or New York.
But what do you think?
What do you want, Blair?
A coffee? A drink?
Doug, a coffee?
I don't know.
I don't want to commit you to a full meal.
I want a house in Malibu.
Okay.
So if she wins this bag of crap for you,
will you hook her up with a place in Malibu?
Eric? Eric?
Eric says no.
Well, this negotiation
might take a while.
I think you two
need to meet in the middle.
I started a coffee
and she went to a house.
Just having fun in Austin.
That's the important thing,
is to have fun while we're here.
It really is.
And we've got to take another commercial break.
We'll be right back.
We're back!
We're doing it. We're doing it.
We're doing it.
This game is my new favorite,
and I hope you enjoy it as well.
It's called Filmily Feud.
Deer, deer, deer, deeer, deer, deer, deer, deer, deer, deer, deer.
You can clap if you want.
I cut people off with the Family Feud theme song that I didn't sing very well.
It's still funny to me that Steve Harvey's
taken over Family Feud,
and it's great with Steve Harvey,
but the music at the beginning is still like,
da-da-do-da-da-da-da.
Bizarre.
Anyway, I guess they spruced it up a little bit,
but I have gone on the internet,
on my Twitter,
I have gone on the Internet, on my Twitter, and asked questions with multiple choice answers, four answers in the little poll thing you can do on your Twitter account.
And I got 100 or more responses in each question I asked and then wrote down the percentages just like on Family Feud.
And so I'm going to say a question and then each of you,
we're going to start with Brandon in the first round and we're going to rotate so everyone's going to get a chance to go first
because there's four rounds.
And Brandon will go first this first round because he won that last game.
And Brandon is going to pick one of the four choices
of the first question. At least three
for Marina and two for Blair
and eventually one to Lisa
and everyone will get
each of those opportunities as the game
goes along.
So anything can happen.
I feel so tense.
Got sad there at the end.
The percentage of people that answered the answer you pick,
that's the number you'll get on your score,
and then we'll add them all up, and I'll declare a winner.
The first question I asked 100 people on Twitter,
or bots, could have been bots.
I don't quality control who responds.
But I guess everybody just gets one vote, right, on those polls.
People can't vote multiple times.
I wrote, what's your favorite thing about South by Southwest?
So people could be answering they've never even been here
or don't know what S, you know, what those initials mean.
He started the first S.
Yeah.
Because I always get thrown off that it's an X is for buy and then another S and then
a W. So South by Southwest.
But I just wrote SXSW.
So I don't even know if people knew what I was referencing.
But these are the four choices.
Favorite thing about South by Southwest.
Wild weather shifts.
Long lines.
Not getting into things.
Or terrible Q&A queues.
Those are the four options, Brandon.
Which one do you think got the most votes?
We'll go with terrible Q&A queues.
Okay.
Marina, you get to pick from...
What's left?
Weird wild weather shifts.
Yeah, that's a weird one.
Long lines.
Every time I come to South by over the 10 days,
you get at least a couple rainy days
and at least a couple hot days
and then a mix of both.
It's really an interesting time of year here.
I'm going to have to go,
because long lines and not getting into things
seems like the same thing,
but I'll say that long lines,
because I accidentally was in one today.
And I was very angry about it, and I wanted to complain to someone.
And I was just like, maybe I should dress better
because I didn't get into the right line for my badge.
Anyway, I'm going to say long lines.
Yeah, that's the fun thing about this festival is job one is standing in a line.
That's the first thing you have to do when you get here,
and it's like training for the rest of it.
If you're unhappy with that first line,
it might not be a great experience for you
because there's lines that wrap around the block.
But the Paramount Theater is 1,100 seats,
and when you see the line going around the block twice,
you're like fuck i'm
not gonna get in but it get a lot of you know it's a lot of people can get in there a little pro tip
all right uh blair well marina absolutely snaked what i feel is the correct answer um
yeah i i i won't i don't like a line. Like, I prefer to sit down.
But I guess I'll have to go with not getting into things.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's another thing that happens here quite a bit.
You have to resign yourself to have a different experience.
I wouldn't be surprised if there's people in this audience
that couldn't get into something.
So, like, oh, let's try that.
I love that description.
Or they were tired of standing.
They wanted to sit down like Blair likes.
You snaked waiting in lines from me.
Very crafty.
Stop snaking her.
And then Lisa just gets, how do you feel about being stuck with wild weather shifts?
It's an answer I wouldn't have chosen.
being stuck with wild weather shifts?
It's an answer I wouldn't have chosen.
But... I lost my leather jacket last week,
so this weather shift has been hard for me.
I didn't plan to wear a bubblegum pink peacoat, but...
I'm usually a leather girl, but...
And I lost weight,
and then I got rid
of all of my clothes
and then I gained
most of it back
and so now
I'm in a nightmare
and
so I'm having
a hard time
with outfits
so it is my least
it's my most
troublesome moment
is dealing
with weather
packing
and not fitting
into any of my clothes
so yeah
I
it is in my spirit
but I wouldn't
have said it
it's my spirit I sneaked it't have said it. It's my spirit.
I sneaked it again.
Yeah.
All right, let me give you the results.
Ooh, this got quiet.
Got really suspenseful.
Do you need to talk while you count?
I still have a little bit more.
I got to write it down more.
All right.
Do you want the one that got the most or the least first? The most.
I know they start with least on the feud, right?
And then work their way up
when they read them off. Oh, you're right.
But people
have varying opinions
which way I should start.
So I'm going to start
with the bad news.
And that is for Lisa.
I mean, you couldn't have got snaked harder
because these three picked the top three answers
and you were right to be upset about it.
And wild weather shifts only got 9%.
Yeah.
Because I guess people who live in Austin are used to the weather shifts and the 9%. Yeah. Yeah.
Because I guess people who live in Austin are used to the weather shifts,
and the people that are visiting are like, this is fun.
You know, at least there's going to be some warm days, you know, or whatever.
We can swim on Monday.
Exactly.
Then long lines came in second with 16%. Wow.
Yeah. And then
terrible Q&A
cues got 13%.
Excuse me.
35%.
I was going backwards there for a second.
And then this is
an interesting one.
Blair is now in the lead
because not getting into things, even though it is very similar to Long Lines. You're right, Marina. interesting one. Blair is now in the lead.
Because not getting into things, even though it is very similar to
Long Lines, you're right Marina, not getting
into things got 40% of the vote.
And I agree!
So that was some good
snaking. Yeah, thank you Marina.
But much like Family Feud,
it was a confusing question because none of those
things should be anybody's favorite part.
So are they picking the one they hate the least? Or the one that happens the least? Family Feud. It was a confusing question because none of those things should be anybody's favorite part.
So are they picking the one they hate the least or the one that
happens the least? Are they
coming from a sarcastic point of view?
I don't know because I just write the
weird question and move on.
So Blair is in the
lead. She's only got five points over Brandon
and Lisa and
Marina.
It's still anybody's game because Marina gets to go first on this next question.
I've been losing.
You can pick between these four names and I have faith in you.
I wrote down the question on Twitter because of the Nicolas Cage movie playing this evening called The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
I just wrote, apropos of nothing, out of nowhere. of the Nicolas Cage movie playing this evening called The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
I just wrote, apropos of nothing, out of nowhere,
who truly has the most massive talent?
And then I listed four people that you would know by their last name.
Travolta, Pacino, Cage, or Streep?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Which one of those four did a Twitter poll determine
has the most massive talent?
So that's a good one for me, right?
I think so.
It should be Streep.
Yeah.
You going Streep?
Yeah, why not?
Yeah, I mean, come on.
We can't argue.
I'm not going to argue with it.
Oh, did you say, oh, shit, you coming for Streep?
I'm not going to argue with you about that,
because those other three gentlemen, well, Travolta, I don't know.
They can be chameleons.
I mean, Pacino's just going to be yelling at this point.
I'm disappointed you didn't have Duvall there.
What's that?
Duvall.
I know, it would have been nice if Duvall was there.
I get it.
I think he retired, maybe.
Has he been in anything lately?
I don't know if he's alive, man.
Al Pacino?
He was just in House of Gucci.
What are you talking about?
No, no, Robert Duvall.
Okay, sorry.
That was a close one.
I apologize.
The Cheeto's alive.
House of Gucci.
Oh, my God.
Well, Street did really good in the Netflix.
What's that?
Don't look up.
That.
Yeah.
Okay. Don't look up. Don't look up.
Yeah.
All right.
So that's who Marina's taking.
That leaves Cage, Pacino, or Travolta for you, Blair.
I was going to pick Streep.
Wow.
Okay.
I love Al Pacino so much.
He's my Italian king. But I do think that I am going to have to go to Nicolas Cage.
Okay.
Okay, yeah.
Wrong answer.
I'm going to go with Travolta.
I mean, he's dancing, singing, hot bod, you know.
Yeah, Travolta's natural talent.
He's a super talented dude.
Yeah.
Yeah, not great at introducing people on the Oscars,
but everything else.
So that leaves,
how do you feel about being stuck with Pacino?
Oh, that's fine.
I mean, devil's advocate.
You mentioned House of Gucci.
There's literally a scene where he has an Italian accent and Jared
Leto has an Italian accent, and they're both
screaming at each other. It's one of the most unintentionally
funny scenes of last year.
So yeah, I'm good with the change.
Hey, what are you talking about?
No!
Amazing.
Amazing. It's like Mario
and Luigi just having a
divorce.
I mean, does Jared Leto look like the guy he's playing under that? I don't think so
I think they just made him generically ugly
You know like oh that guy's ugly
so we'll just make him ugly too
and it'll work out great
There's a We Crashed series
that's based on the
what happened with WeWork.
You know I worked there, right?
What's that?
During all that.
I was there at WeWork when all that happened.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
So Jared Leto's accent's pretty spot on with Adam Neumann.
Because they have weird accents, right?
Yeah.
Him and Anne Hathaway.
Yeah.
They're here in town as we speak, I think.
Both of them.
Wait, Jared Leto's accent was spot on,
you think? Yeah, like the
Israeli accent
Adam Newman had?
Yeah, it's very...
Because I met that guy.
He's cuckoo bananas.
Oh, I thought we were
still in House of Gucci.
I'm so excited.
I was like, what?
We moved on to a
WeWork.
Yeah, okay.
Sorry.
I'm excited that
his accent WeWork
is...
that you say it's
realistic because
now I can just...
when somebody says
it's a stupid accent,
I can say, Brandon Collins
says
you're wrong.
So you get Pacino,
Brandon, and the news
is that
you didn't get stuck with the worst one.
Yeah.
But this time
I'm going to start with
the highest scoring person.
The one that got the most votes is, of course, Meryl Streep.
Yes.
But you just never know.
She's amazing.
You don't go to a comedy club like, here's my Meryl Streep.
Hoo-ah!
Hoo-ah!
Oh, shit.
Okay, and then
coming in at number two,
my boy, Nicolas Cage
with 28%.
Yeah!
Wow.
Shocking.
That is shocking.
28%.
Yeah, I mean,
maybe people just know
he's in a movie
with massive talent in the title.
So they're just like, okay.
Pacino came in next with 20%.
What?
I know.
I know.
It's ridiculous.
Have they not seen Saturday Night Fever?
What is happening in the world?
Travolta had a hit since 2004.
Travolta hasn't had a hit for a long time.
When was Hairspray?
2008, maybe?
What did Travolta play in that?
He was the mom, right?
Oh.
He was that lady?
Listen, he had a...
I gotta say,
you want him working?
His kid and wife are dead.
What do you, you know?
Do you not feel sad?
Yeah, come on. You want him on a set? He's grieving. Give Do you not feel sad? Come on. Give him a break.
Give him a goddamn break. He's an avid
podcast listener. He might hear this.
Rest in peace, Kelly Preston.
But he, in
Hairspray, he's got
the wig. He's got the fat suit.
He's got the...
But those eyes are unrecognizable.
He's got the singing voice. But what I was going to say is,
he also nails the Baltimore accent in that movie.
In the very first scene, he goes,
I got a reigning to do.
He keeps saying a reigning like that.
And it's like, he's a tremendous actor
and an amazing talent.
And he got 3%.
I think it's the Scientology of it all,
because he is, outside of Merrill,
he should have been second place.
This is, I'm upset.
It's still almost anybody's game.
Currently, Brandon's at 55 points.
Marina's at 65.
Blair is at 68.
And Lisa's always a great player.
And I'm always excited to have her here.
And we're splendid in pink.
Who are you wearing?
Zara, baby.
But I'm serious.
You still have a shot at this
because you're going to get to go first
on the fourth round.
But Blair, who's killing it,
gets to go first in this round.
And what an amazing coincidence,
this question.
I asked Twitter,
if you realized you were alone
in an elevator with Jared Leto,
you would dot, dot, dot, question mark,
say hi,
ignore him,
get out on the next floor,
or press all the buttons.
And Blair gets to go first.
Wow, okay.
Okay, I don't think what me, Blair, would do, Blair gets to go first. Wow, okay.
Okay, I don't think what me, Blair, would do. What would the crazy people on Twitter say?
Say hi?
No, no.
Say hi?
God, so much is riding on this.
Ah!
You can do it.
You can do it.
Okay, what, I was, I feel like.
Say hi, hit all the buttons, ignore him, or get out the next floor.
God, okay, I think, I think, uh, what are these assholes?
He's, you're, Eric's trying to tell you to hit all the buttons.
That wasn't Eric. I, I haven't even. Oh, it wasn't Eric? What are these assholes? Eric's trying to tell you to hit all the buzzers.
That wasn't Eric.
Oh, it wasn't Eric?
No, I remember Eric's voice when you said no to the Malibu house.
Okay, I think I'm going to go and press all the buttons,
even though I would probably just say hello like a person, you know?
That's fair.
Yeah.
I would ignore him, but I'm going to vote for get off? That's fair. Yeah. I would ignore him,
but I'm going to vote
for get off on the next floor.
Okay.
My team.
Brandon?
I'm going to go with say hi
because I'd be curious
what voice he responds in.
Okay.
What's the last one?
The last one is ignoring.
Okay, so I'll ignore it.
I wonder if say hi was like the easy answer dangling in front of my face.
But I don't know.
Yeah, ignore it.
You gotta ignore people.
I'm owning that answer,
even though it's the only one left.
You gotta own that shit.
Thank you.
That's a family feud watcher.
That was a family feud watcher.
I think the craziest thing that's happened
since I've been playing this game has happened,
and that's that Lisa managed to end up
with the lowest percentage in every round.
In this case...
But I still think I could win.
I'm still positive.
But let's see.
Say Hi, or Ignore Him got 19%,
and Say Hi got 32%,
and Press All the Buttons got 33%,
and when you add it all up
our winner is Blair Saki!
I should say when I add it all up
because it's probably wrong
but congratulations Eric
come get your prize bag
Blair you get to go first
in the promoting yourself part of the show go ahead and do your plugs
oh right now
wait will you just tell us the next question
so I can know that maybe I had a chance
or are you mad
oh it's already over
that wasn't it
there wasn't four
you didn't get to go first Emma
hang on Eric
I love how you're like can you just finish the game please
you're so polite about it yeah we got to finish the game i'm like that was it
if you take my way i just thought blair won by so much there was no point but i you know i'm
curious no no you still have a chance in, we could just start this next round,
and if your answer doesn't surpass Blair,
then she's probably still the winner.
Okay.
Yeah, but we'll see.
I like Blair, too.
We'll see.
I do like her.
I like you, too.
All right, okay, Blair.
I mean, Lisa gets to go first.
Apologies to everyone.
Cancel the rest of my shows.
All right.
This is all I wrote because of South by Southwest.
I was inspired.
I just wrote the question, best west?
Question mark.
And then the options that I gave are West Side Story, Wild Wild West, Ingrid Goes West, or Adam West.
Who of course played Batman.
Ingrid Goes West is one of my favorite movies ever.
I watch it all the time, but there's no way.
I'm going to, so it's The Batman Guy,
Inger Goes West, Wild Wild West,
or West Side Story.
I'll go with
Adam West, but my heart says
Inger Goes West. But I'm going to go with Adam West.
Okay. Brandon?
I'm going to go with Wild Wild West.
I don't know if it's the original or the Will Smith version,
but either one.
You're just bragging that you know both of them
and that we didn't, so
we see through it.
Marina, West Side Story or Ingrid Goes West?
I'm going to go with West Side Story
because that's the Latin vote.
Lisa lost this game for me.
I don't think she did.
Again, Ingrid Goes West is such a good name. I love Ingrid Goes West.
I love Ingrid Goes West.
She did put a dent in this one.
Congratulations, Lisa.
The one where you got to go first,
you nailed it because Adam West
got 63% of the vote.
Oh my God!
But it still doesn't get you there
West Side Story 14
Wild Wild West 14
and Angry Ghost West got 9
so I stand not corrected
I guess I stand
officially to say
congratulations Eric
you win the prize bag
if anybody figures out I did the math wrong,
contact your congressman.
Very handsome.
Congratulations.
Go ahead and do your plugs now, Blair.
Okay.
Thanks, everyone.
Doug loves movies.
And Doug, my name is Blair Saki.
You can watch me on Wednesdays on Fairview on Comedy Central.
Nice.
She's a cartoon.
Yeah, I'm a cartoon.
Who wants to go next?
I'm on the internet as at Glitter Cheese.
And I have a podcast called That's Messed Up,
an SVU podcast where we talk to, you know,
we've had an Oscar winner on.
And then I have a podcast called Enemies
where I'm trying to talk to my enemies.
So that's what I'm up to.
Nice.
Marina, Franklin, you got through it.
You did it.
I know.
I was like, oh, God.
I don't think you had the worst score.
Thank you, Lisa.
What would you like to plug, Marina?
Yeah, so you can check me out on my special single black female.
It's on Amazon Prime and all other platforms as well as my podcast.
Thank you.
Oh, I always wonder.
They're always like, so also my podcast is called Friends Like Us, which is a podcast that features women of color talking about hot topics.
It's like The View, but funnier in black.
So there.
Awesome.
Brandon Collins? Yeah, y'all can
follow me on American Collins on all social media platforms.
Check out my podcast, Media and Popcorn,
which is Rotten Tomatoes affiliated. It's a cool
movie podcast where we say insane
things about movies we just watched.

unspoken black heroes in America.
Yeah, thank you.
Nice.

and talk movies with
Brandon if you run into him in one of the
many lines out there.
I'll be doing the
first ever live taping of
the podcast that my friend Doug
Mellard and I created during lockdown
called Wide World of Dougs.
We'll be doing it live right here
Tuesday at 6 o'clock. You don't have to
bring name tags or anything. Just come, have
some laughs. Our guests are going to be
Dave Foley and Dolce Sloan.
And
next Saturday, I have
surprise guests lined up for another
Doug Loves Movies at 4 o'clock
at Creek and the Cave.
For all of my dates and deets, go to
DougLovesMovies.com
Woo!
Wait, wait,com. The clapping is drowning out the thing.
So don't clap, just listen to what happens.
Douglovesmovies.com.
That's Douglovesmovies.com.
Yeah!
Oh my God.
Wow, that one really fell apart
But thanks for trying
Yeah just one more
Thanks everybody
One more time for my guests
Lisa Traeger
Blair Saki
Marina Franklin,
Brandon Collins.
I did that without looking at them,
which means I need to get high again.
Yeah.
As always, this place makes me wonder which would be worse,
to live as a monster
or to die as a good man. laughter
