Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies!
Yay! Here we are! Welcome, everybody!
This is Doug Benson with I Love Movies
Because I do
Coming to you from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles
In front of a live audience
Of very nice people who came out
Even though it's the holidays
They came out to watch a discussion
To watch a discussion
Very exciting
There's lots of great shows here at UCB
For more info go tocbtheater.com
because there's no greater gift than
laughter, except for maybe
a blowjob.
Or a handy.
Happy holidays, everybody.
I just want to say
before I bring out my guest today,
that Polar Express
should not be
considered a holiday classic.
There are ads out there now saying that it is.
Roger Ebert gives it a thumb up.
And I thought it was one of the most horrifying things I ever saw.
But the main reason you should keep kids away from the Polar Express
is because in that movie, a train whips into a neighborhood on Christmas Eve
and says, all aboard the Polar Express,
and an impressionable child jumps on the train without checking with his parents first
and just leaves with some crazy conductor to go on a trip to the North Pole.
So now anybody could just whip their van into a neighborhood at Christmastime and say, all aboard the Polar Van.
And that is just not right.
My guest today
it's always an awkward transition from my
opening joke to the intro
and it'll never change.
My guest today on I Love Movies
is the co-writer and co-performer
of the I Love Movies theme song.
Please don't hold that against him.
This is the hard half of the musical duo
Hard and Firm.
Please welcome Chris Hardwick, everybody.
Chris Hardwick is here.
Get up on that mic.
Oh, he's got to take his coat off.
There's no coat hanger backstage,
and no one is hearing anything
you're saying to me right now.
Some green room pot smoking incident.
They destroyed the coat rack back there.
I didn't know there was ever a coat rack here.
By the way, I was hearing you talk about Polar Express,
and nothing expresses the feeling of Christmas warmth
more than dead-looking computer faces.
Which the whole...
Those dead eyes that they have.
The dead eyes and how the mouths move.
Like, just not warm.
There's a whole musical number around hot chocolate where dudes are jumping up and down,
pouring hot chocolate all over the place.
It's horrifying.
Why?
And it's also a very treacherous trip to the North Pole.
Not only does he take the kid to the North Pole,
they also, their lives are in danger the entire time.
Like, the track is out over a ravine at one point.
They've got to get going fast enough to jump the ravine.
These kids might die just to go see Santa.
That doesn't sound like an express.
I thought an express train was like A to B, no time.
No, there's so many stops.
There's so many stops on the Polar Express.
It's a huge hassle taking the Polar Express.
And they get all the way there.
They see Santa.
Nothing really happens there.
They see elves that look like Aosmiths complete with scarves
on the mic stand and are you serious i'm serious this movie's fucking crazy and they're singing
you could swear and they're singing and uh and then they leave the north pole and the ride back
is uh takes one fifth of the time and there's no danger or anything like getting home from the
north pole is super easy so the movie has no danger or anything. Like, getting home from the North Pole is super easy.
So the movie has no dramatic arc to speak of,
because getting there is such a nightmare,
and then coming home is, just shoot right back.
Well, now I'm not going to see it, for sure.
Well, now that I spoiled the ending.
Now I know he gets home.
He totally gets home.
I thought maybe he...
See, I have this whole Christmas theory that...
Do bring it.
Well, it's...
I don't know.
It's just the idea that the myth of Christmas came from...
Kris Kringle was a murderous Viking and was punished by the Nordic pantheon of gods to
have to bring gifts to the entire world once a year.
He was a horrible murderer, rapist.
And see, the reason you think he's fat is because he ages but never dies.
So he's basically this skeleton, and he has to pile on all these layers of clothing,
and he has demons living inside his ribcage.
So it wasn't really a popular theory when I was growing up, but that's what I always...
Oh, you shared this theory a lot?
Yeah.
Like on Christmas Day?
Not with my family, but when I was in high school and college,
I tried to get people
to propagate this myth that that's where it came from.
When you're in high school and college, it's hard to be anti-Santa because people still
believe him.
They're all faggy about it.
Faggy.
They're gay for Santa.
What have you seen lately, Chris?
Just saw For Your Consideration a couple days ago.
Yeah, and?
I mean, Catherine O'Hara was awesome.
I wanted to like the movie a little bit more than I did.
You really kind of like struggle.
It's like a struggle now with those movies because there's always going to be good stuff in there.
Right.
You can't, with the people that he gets, Christopher Guest guess gets in those movies there's going to be a laugh or two but it's so low key and so like we dare you to not
have an awesome time right like we're so smart that it's like you gotta you gotta laugh it on
the inside i just i didn't i think i think one of the main devices wasn't was kind of like tired
which was the whole they're making a movie called home for Purim, and it's this southern family.
They're using all these Jewish words,
and it's like, yeah, I don't know.
I don't care about the South or the Jews.
I even kind of affected a...
I don't know!
I even kind of did that in the process of shitting on the film,
but it was all right.
What else?
I saw The Marine with John Cena.
You went with him, or he's in it?
He was the other guy in the theater.
John Cena, the wrestler, looks like if Matt Damon were exploded in the Body Worlds exhibit.
Like if his face were blown out in all directions.
He looks like John Cena.
And that's why you went?
That was one of the reasons.
You're like finally a blown out Matt Damon?
You have to see...
Matt Dylan?
You have to see the...
No, no, Matt Damon. Matt Damon. Not Matt Dylan. That'd probably of the reasons. You're like finally a blown out Matt Dillon. You have to see... Matt Dillon? You have to see the... No, no, Matt Damon.
Matt Damon.
Not Matt Dillon.
That'd probably be The Rock.
But the Marine is...
I always thought The Rock looked like blown out Rob Schneider.
Like Rob Schneider?
They did twins too.
It could be The Rock and Rob Schneider.
We should go through it.
Every wrestler should be somebody that just got inflated.
They were somebody else, and they got pumped up and now they're a new character.
There are so many explosions.
Did you like The Marine?
No.
Well, I mean, it was fun.
It was just like one big explosion.
The explosions escalated throughout the film.
So there was a car explosion, and there was a house explosion, and there was a truck explosion.
There was a whole fucking factory.
The whole movie was just full of...
And the problem with the movie was...
Well, the problem.
But he wasn't really a good...
You're expecting to see this total ass-kicking Marine
and he's not a good fighter in the movie.
He's just a big guy.
And there's never any...
He doesn't really ever take anyone down.
There's always a struggle.
It's kind of like real fighting.
I want to see him
kick someone in half.
His foot just kind of cut through them like cream cheese
but that never happened.
Oh, you mean like how Stephen Seagal
used to do it?
Exactly.
He was kind of a mess too.
He was a very humble individual.
The Marine reminds me of
that die hard on a boat thing.
Which one was that?
Was there actually a speed?
There was a speed?
No, Under Siege.
Oh, Under Siege.
Two.
Was it one or two?
One was on a train.
Two was on a train.
Okay.
Two was on the Polar Express.
And one was on a boat.
And I like both of those movies, but those are the only Steven Seagal movies I like.
We saw Marie Antoinette.
Marine Antoinette?
Marine Antoinette.
Where Marie Antoinette was played by a manatee
and just spends all this money.
How was that?
It looks like it's...
It's like a music video.
It's just that sort of...
kind of like Lost in Translation
where you're like,
oh, this is going to be the thing
that drives the rest of the plot.
Nope, wrong again.
There's no...
Just a bunch of stuff happens and the movie's over.
That's what I liked about Lost in Translation, actually.
I did.
It was pretty to look at, though.
Lost in Translation just very much mirrored my experiences in Tokyo
with 20-year-old girls.
But Kirsten Dunst was delightful
I was trying to make a joke
but it wasn't one
well that's not
a weird thing though
but like for a comic
to be a way into
in Japan
yeah
with a 20 year old girl
doing comedy in Japan
things are really
going good for me
if you just thought
that seemed like
a normal thing
that I would do
I don't know what you do
maybe the marijuana
logs with the Japan
I do comedy in Japan
I don't even bother to change it into Japanese.
They just think it's funny.
Well, because it's Western.
They would probably be into it.
You should do the Marijuana Logs in Japan.
All right.
Good idea.
Thanks.
That's the show.
No, this is the holiday episode.
We're just getting started.
I made a list of...
Your favorite holiday movies?
Well, I couldn't remember.
I did give you an assignment to come in here and tell me some of your favorite holiday movies.
Let me run through mine first.
I'll run through mine first and then we'll go through
and I'll explain why yours are wrong. You're the host.
My three
favorite holiday movies. Did you make
three or do you have more than three? Oh, I have a whole
list of holiday movies here.
Are some of them naughty and some of them nice?
I liked...
I checked it twice. These are my three favorites.
Die Hard, the original.
I got that on here.
It's on your list, good.
Miracle on 34th Street.
Ooh.
Natalie Wood version, not John Hughes version.
And Uncolorized.
And Philadelphia.
I'm just kidding.
Die Hard isn't really a Christmas movie.
That's such a horrible
That's good
Philadelphia's been my go-to lately
Whenever people are talking about
Christmas movies
Or just anything like
You know anything but the AIDS genre
The AIDS genre
Anything
I've got you walking a blockbuster
Excuse me where is your AIDS section
Where is the AIDS section
And then you put on some rubber gloves
You have to step over a bunch of discarded syringes.
Okay, so those are two of my favorites, Die Hard and Miracle on 34th Street.
I really don't like too many Christmas movies because they're just so...
You don't want to see them any time of year but Christmas.
Right.
And then even around Christmas time, you're a little overloaded with the Christmas bullshit.
But to be an actor in those films, you know
you're going to get some sweet residual check come
February or March. I like the TV
stuff the most. I like Rudolph
and the year without Santa Claus.
Scrooged,
I thought I really enjoyed.
Really? You thought you enjoyed it? You were
wrong. Well, I haven't seen it since I
was in college.
It's so bad. But it is watchable.
It's very watchable in spite of how awful
it is because Bill Murray is almost always
watchable.
You're like sitting there
the whole time going, that's Bill Murray.
It's the
best movie that Bobcat Goldthwait was in.
Playing the character of
Bob Peck. No No it's not the best
He's got better movies than that
Better Off Dead
Was kind of a Christmas movie
Because it took place at Christmas
There was snow on the ground
It took place at Christmas
There were skiing scenes
But it took place at Christmas
There's a whole scene
Where he gives his girlfriend
A Christmas present
What does the paperboy say
Over and over again?
Two dollars
Two dollars
That's right
I just
I never
I could not
I didn't like
A single
Savage Steve
Is this where you invite people on
And tell them how you hate
I didn't like any
Savage Steve
Holland movies
I didn't like any of them
I did not like One Crazy Summer
I loved Better Off Dead
I really loved
I know
Brian Posehn loves it
I know a lot of really
Smart
Funny
Normal seeming people
That love
And Brian Posehn
That love Better Off Dead.
And I can't stand that movie.
I hated it even when I was a kid.
All right.
Wow.
Kitty needs to scratch.
It's just awful.
Gremlins was a Christmas movie,
kind of.
Huh?
Let's see.
Now, that's...
That one okay?
That's in my top three now.
Edward Scissorhands was a Christmas movie.
I didn't really like
Edward Scissorhands that much, but...
It was interesting
because Anthony Michael Hall was, like, unrecognizable it's like wow when
did he become that was kind of the male version of like when it whenever there's a young actress
and she's a she's a child actress then she'll do a sexy movie to show like i'm an adult like that
was his like i'm not a nerd i can beat nerdses. That's how much of a nerd I'm not.
There's a trailer for a new Christina Ricci movie.
Have you seen that?
Oh, with Sam Jackson?
Yeah, where she's just in a bikini the entire time,
and she's also beaten to a bloody pulp.
And he's just throwing her all over the ground and stuff.
Yeah, that movie looks hot.
I did not even recognize that it was her.
I know.
At the end of the trailer, like, Christina Ricci. Because she didn even recognize that it was her. I know. That's at the end of the trailer like Christina Ricci.
Because she didn't have
that cute little pumpkin...
Yeah, she's always had
a giant head and big eyes
like a Keen painting.
What's his name?
Yoshitomo...
Not the band.
Like those Nara paintings,
the Japanese artist.
What's his name?
Nara?
Yoshitomo Nara.
That's right.
Wow, you got a lot of Christmas movies.
I just want to talk about Gremlins a little bit.
Oh, you do?
Yeah, I like it.
You sure you don't want to talk about Mr. Magoo's Christmas special?
Chris Columbus.
Chris Columbus.
You're an iron, but I think you're a cat.
He should have made Gremlins and then stopped.
You think so?
That should have been it.
But he did...
He shouldn't have been allowed to make another movie ever again.
He did Harry Potter, though.
The first two.
Yeah.
The bullshit ones.
What you can't see right now is Doug is making a sour face as though he has eaten something.
I couldn't stand the first two Harry Potters, and I love the next two.
Yeah.
They had to get Columbus out of there.
Well, you and I aren't seeing eye to eye on a lot of stuff.
No, I agree with you about Gremlins.
Stop it.
We just don't agree.
Why can't you agree with anything?
Did you know... Whatever the next one is, I'm going to agree.
No, you're not.
Well, I don't agree on this one.
You don't agree with yourself?
No.
I didn't know that they made Christmas Vacation 2, Cousin Eddie's Island.
Do you know how they made that?
That's what it said.
Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure, Christmas Vacation 2.
It's like a branch off of a sequel.
It's like a sequel prime.
It's a Randy Quaid
movie? A Randy Quaid joint,
I think is what you were reaching for.
Because Chevy Chase was just way
too awesome
to be in Christmas Vacation 2.
Because honestly, in the back half of
Chevy Chase's career, Christmas Vacation
was his best movie.
You think it was better than the original Vacation?
No.
No.
I'm saying in the back half of his career.
In the ass end.
Like after Spies Like Us, when it all went to shit.
When the pain pills started giving away the comedy.
When it all went to shit, the Vacation movie was at least still kind of funny.
He pulled down that one ladder and it hit him in the face.
That was funny.
And Randy Quaid was out there with the RV and the shit flying everywhere.
And there was a squirrel in the tree.
And Julia Louis-Dreyfus played the next-door neighbor.
She sure did.
It was angry.
Doesn't Deck the Halls just look like that movie over again?
Well, I mean, every year now there is now a sub-
Squabbling neighbors in the suburbs.
It's a sub-genre of Christmas competition movies, like Jingle All the Way or...
And they even turned The Grinch Who Stole Christmas into one of those movies.
Like the Who's were all into having better displays on their houses.
It's like Ron Howard and Jim Carrey totally missed the point of fucking...
Someone told me that it...
How The Grinch Stole Christmas. I didn't see The Grinch, Someone told me that it... How the Grinch told Christmas.
Because I didn't see the Grinch, but they said that there was a Who key party going on.
There's a Who key party at one point.
Like, ha ha, get it?
They're all putting their keys in a bowl.
Kids love it.
That's awesome.
And then there was...
Do you think they have...
All the Whos were assholes.
And at the end of the movie, it takes the Grinch showing them what the real meaning of Christmas is.
It's crazy.
Maybe it's a weird window into Ron Howard's soul.
I think it's more into Jim Carrey's, but I'll give you that, too.
The number 23.
It's a new Jim Carrey movie coming out.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Where he sees the number...
You love movies and you don't know about this?
Mm-mm.
I love movies that already are out.
All right.
It's coming, and you look back on this.
I don't love future movies.
What if I die?
I won't even get to see it.
What is this one?
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
Oh, he wrote down P, T, and A.
Well, on a note card.
Why would I take up all that time?
Harper Valley movie?
Harper Valley PTA was a phenomenally Christmas delightful romp.
But Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
That was a Thanksgiving movie, wasn't it?
They were trying to get home for Thanksgiving.
Was that it?
I don't remember.
Maybe that was it.
They were trying to get home for something else.
That's when John Hughes started to lose it with me.
That one.
Elf, I thought was all right.
I wish that movie had a question mark in the title.
Elf?
Elf?
Starring Will Ferrell?
The actor?
Yeah, I thought
that one was overrated.
All right.
Well, I just made a list.
I just found a...
What's her name, though?
That's Zooey Deschanel.
There's nobody cuter.
She's a hot little potato.
She's adorable.
She's great on Weeds.
Weeds.
Oh, my God.
She's so good on Weeds.
I was sad that they
didn't introduce her character
until there was only
like four episodes left.
Well, it's coming back.
Wait, Home Alone is on here.
Did you say that?
Oh, no, I didn't.
Home Alone.
Yeah.
Well, I just said it now.
I got to say, though.
I got skills.
Oh, yeah, Home Alone.
I got to say, I kind of enjoy the Home Alone movies.
You're a softie inside.
I like Brenda Blethen with all the pigeons in the second one.
That was great.
Was it Brenda Blethen? No. It was that other fat British lady. That was great. Was it Brenda Bluthin?
It was that other
bad British lady.
Brenda Fricker.
You're thinking of,
you're confusing
Home Alone 2
with Secrets and Lies.
Paul Tompkins
came back this week
to heckle from the audience.
He loves it.
He comes to the show.
He was in the neighborhood.
He lives close by.
It's a wonderful life.
What kind of
cliche answer is that?
I literally just went to a website that had holiday movies
because I couldn't think of any.
I just wrote down all that was on that website.
Oh, you wrote down names.
These aren't your favorites.
No, no.
These are just Charlie Brown Christmas.
That's a great movie.
Well, but Arrested Development used the Vince Giraldi,
Charlie Brown Christmas theme.
Oh, to great effect.
Oh, it was so phenomenal.
With Michael Cera walking with his head down.
With everyone being dejected throughout the...
Yeah, that was really funny when they did that.
It was.
Did that not sound sincere?
That was really funny when they did that.
God damn it.
Jesus, I wish Paul Tompkins was still my guest.
Last week was so much fun.
I don't know where you end and the sarcasm begins.
You're doing great.
It's so hard to tell.
Well, see, that sounded sarcastic.
Now, let me ask you about the movies you've been in.
You've been in some great Christmas movies.
You were in House of a Thousand Corpses.
Yes.
Now, when you're on the set and bored, did you actually count them?
Were there a thousand?
Yep.
Yep.
Terminator 4, Rise Machines Rise.
That's right.
That's what I like to call it.
I play the guy that comes out and says,
Now rise, machines!
No, you played second engineer.
Engineer number two.
According to IMDB, it's second engineer.
Fuck, man, now I've got to write those pricks.
Yeah, you've got to set them straight.
Straighten it out.
Now, why didn't you assassinate Arnold when you had the chance?
Because he was constantly surrounded by... That would have been so great. He really was.
He had his makeup done in the trailer
with everyone else, but he was constantly
surrounded by a wall of people just
laughing. I mean, it was literally like that cliché,
that 50s cliché of everyone going,
Ha ha! Good one, Mr. Schwarzenegger!
Like, he was surrounded by people
laughing at everything that he said.
But he seemed like an okay guy.
I had no idea I was getting my makeup done next to our next governor.
That never entered into my noggin.
That's what I'm saying.
Why didn't you jump into, you know, they didn't really have the time machine.
Because you will have to send me back in time to kill him.
That's right.
That's right.
That's how it works.
That should have gotten more.
I forgot how that worked.
But my favorite Chris Hardwick role
Has to be
Arson Investigator
In Johnson Family Vacation
I was so cut out
I haven't seen it
I haven't seen the movie
I haven't seen it either
But I was cut out of it
I was just trying to be mean
I do get the occasional
$17.14 check
From DVD sales though
They still have to pay it
You're absolutely not in it
No
But is your name in the titles? You're absolutely not in it? No.
But is your name in the titles? No.
Because we went through this with Wayne Fetterman a couple weeks ago.
He got completely cut out of some stupid movie, and they send
him checks, too. Yeah, you still get
checks. So that's pretty awesome.
And he was sitting there going, why would they send me checks if I was cut out?
I was like, why would you say that out loud?
It's also that moment where you see that
you're getting a residual check,
and you're like, oh, I'm going to take a vacation.
$17.
And then you're like, I'm going to take a vacation.
Oh, Johnson family vacation.
Before we play the Leonard Maltin game, two quick things.
Have you ever worked with Alec Baldwin?
No, but I wish to Christ.
I'm so in love with him right now.
William Baldwin.
Boo.
Well, don't get the sourpuss again.
Don't whip out second best Baldwin on me when we're talking Baldwin brothers.
But think about this.
Alec Baldwin, though Alec Baldwin has always been delightful, he has really come into a whole new level.
He's insanely great right now.
In recent times.
The Departed, Running with Scissors, 30 Rock.
He's amazing on 30 Rock.
Everything he does, he's the best thing in it.
Yeah, he's...
He's so good.
I love him.
What's the movie with Bill Macy?
William...
Bill Macy.
Oh, Fargo?
Yeah, no.
The one where he...
Well, that's technically correct.
That's the movie with William H. Macy.
No, The Cooler.
He was really great in The Cooler, too. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Best thing in The Cooler. I thought that was overrated. That's the movie with William H. Spacey. No, the cooler. He was really great in the cooler, too.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Best thing in the cooler.
I thought that was overrated.
All right, and...
You are the toughest customer.
You're not just a tough customer.
I love movies, Chris.
You are superlatively the toughest customer.
I love them.
I fucking love them.
I had to grip my mic with both hands just to address how tough of a customer you are.
Do you want to ask or be asked on the Leonard Moulton game?
I would like to be asked because I don't
get any clues.
I'm going to try to pick out a Christmas movie if I can
find one fast enough.
Let me see if I can find one.
Leonard Moulton's. Leonard Moulton's
Guide to the Movies. Indispensable!
New York Post.
I have to tell you that Paul S. Tompkins and I
and our girlfriends got together and we
were renting a movie and we went to the movie store and Paul pointed out a movie and I fucking
wish to Christ I could remember what it was, but the review on the front from the newspaper
just said in quotes, looks great.
Do you remember what that movie was, Paul?
No, Daryl Hammond was in it.
Daryl Hammond?
He's in a movie? I guess he's been in a few. All was, Paul? No. Daryl Hammond was in it. Daryl Hammond? He's in a movie?
I guess he's been in a few.
All right.
Here we go.
Let me see here.
Okay.
I'm going to list the names from the bottom.
Do you want the year first?
That might give away a little bit too much if I give you the year.
Well, let's start with the low-end actors.
All right.
Low-end.
Teddy Moore. Okay. start with the with the the low-end actors all right low-end teddy moore
i uh no okay scott schwartz scotty schwartz is this the toy no no you're too far in the front of the book don't see that's a cheating thing to do i do it all the time who said you look and see
what part of the book they're in to get the idea of... Scotty Schwartz was in the toy, and then he went on to do porn.
Right, but what did he do before the toy?
Oh, uh...
Famous scene.
Was it Kidco?
No, he wasn't that, too, though.
Were they turned manure into a million-dollar business?
Mm-hmm.
No, this is the Christmas movie.
Oh, it's a Christmas movie.
Along with Ian Petrella, whoever that is.
Melinda Dillon.
It's the only time those two names appear
in that book. Darren McGavin.
That sounds like a
made-up name. And the lead actor,
Peter... Darren McGavin?
Kolchak, the Night Stalker?
It doesn't sound like a made-up name. Who are you?
I'm Darren McGavin!
It sounds like Patton making up a name.
Patton Oswalt?
Patton Oswalt. Is not in this movie.
Peter Billingsley.
Well, that's a Christmas story.
Now you're acting like, oh, sure!
Fucking Scotty Schwartz
gets his tongue stuck to a pole,
which would have been...
If he's going to go into porn, they should have made a movie
where a strip club was very, very cold.
Or a girl got her tongue stuck to his frozen dick because they were fucking in a freezer.
