Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky, maybe 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, hey, hey everybody, my name is Doug
You know what I love, it's movies
This is Doug Loves Movies
Coming to you once again from Apocalypto.
That's the name of a movie. It's Thursday, May 7th, 2020.
Dugouts to Wise Guys in Salt Lake City and Good Nights in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Those are shows I was supposed to do Doug Lo, those movies in both of those places in June,
but we've officially canceled those shows and we'll try to reschedule for as soon as possible.
Let's say hello to today's guests.
Only two of them are here so far, but that's enough to get started.
It's Clark Duke and Mike Kaplan, everybody. Yay. Hey, guys. Clark here. Yay, clapping.
Yay. Hey, Clark. Let's chat with-writer, and co-star of Arkansas,
not the state, the emotion picture with that name,
that is currently available on Prime Video.
Everywhere?
Pretty much, yeah.
Apple, Amazon, VOD on demand, DVD,
Blu-ray everywhere,
but theaters where it was supposed to be. Yeah.
That's a real,
uh,
real kick in the pants.
Uh,
this thing,
uh,
as far as,
uh,
filmmakers go,
because it's really,
um,
just derailed everything for now,
but,
um,
I guess we should be grateful for the whole VOD system so that not only
can you get your movie out there, but it's also another thing people can,
you know, enjoy because TV is becoming, you know, all reruns.
Yeah. I mean, for me, for me just as a, you know,
as a first time director, like we were supposed to premiere at South by Southwest, which like I'm from the South.
So that was the festival I wanted to go to.
Um, so that was a bummer.
And just as a guy that, you know, I live in LA and I, that's mostly what I do for fun
is go to the movies.
Um, I was really looking forward to seeing a theater, but I mean, the reality is most
of the country is seeing smaller indie films
on vod anyway um so yeah i mean i think it's it's just kind of uh
par for the course right now whatever that is yeah yeah it's just uh it's a strange uh
a strange situation and just have to uh you know, make the best of it. And I'm going to watch it.
I'm going to see it sometime.
All right.
Sometime in the next day or two, probably, you know, because.
I mean, this might have been a way more interesting interview if you watched it.
And then we talked, to be honest.
Well, you know, this is like just more of a comedy game show.
I don't really get.
We don't really get. I know. I know. I've done this show before i know yeah yeah but i also do uh uh that's
the thing though is as much as i assume i'm gonna enjoy it uh i don't i don't like seeing people's
movies before they're on this show because i don't even want to give a whiff of negativity
about you know what i mean you can't hide it if you don't even want to give a whiff of negativity about you know what i mean you can't hide it
if you don't love something yeah you got no poker face yeah exactly so uh but i i am excited to see
it and then you know later i'll talk it up after i've loved it do you know the tagline for the movie that's on like the imdb uh page i don't i know like we had
we had a couple on the posters um that are like they asked me to help come up with tags like i
had a blast making the posters but they asked me to come up with taglines so i kind of like
rattled some off semi-jokingly and we ended up using them.
So like one of them, so it's like, be careful.
But the one, one is a organized crime in the South.
Isn't that organized? That was the main one. I think that was on the poster.
And then another one was Kyle and Swin are working their way to the top.
And then it lists the cast starting with um liam and myself to play
colin swinn and then going down vertically and ending on vince fawn and says but the top has
other plans um yeah that's the one that's that's listed on imdb but i didn't see the visual
all the people in between it it only works if you're looking at the poster
with the like the sight gag, you know,
me saying it sounds like,
it sounds like a weird like Sly Stallone movie
from like 1992 or something.
Yeah, or like if, you know,
if an announcer was saying it,
it'd be like, but the top has a little.
Right, right.
announcer was saying it'd be like but the top has a right right uh let's say hello to mike caplan who is also joining us here today hey mike hey doug thanks so much for having me
oh thank you for uh you know taking time out of your day of taking the whole day off of course uh from my day of watching movies uh that's i i now i'm trying to catch up
to you in these times i am watching some tv shows as well and also doing podcasts there's so much to
do when there's nothing to do well that's the thing is like we all kind of sit around uh you
know we all have like a lot of weird spare time on our hands and watch a lot of
movies. Cause that's what we're into to begin with, you know?
So that's what drives me crazy is that I can't just relax and enjoy all these
movies that I'm watching now.
Cause I still in the back of my head is thinking,
I'm thinking about how the world is ending, you know?
Yes. Is there, is there any art?
Is movies usually the thing that ending you know yes uh is there is there any art is movies usually the thing
that takes you out of that because the world was ending in various ways before as well but it was
just not as in your face about it i guess that's true that is an excellent point now it's overt
yeah yeah i was so i was definitely living in denial and escaping to movies and now and now
i can't escape to movies because it's i'm we're never going to be able to make them anymore.
Sure.
It's crazy.
Oh, hey, guess what?
What's that?
Well, first of all, Mike, you have a new album coming out.
We should mention that.
Oh, yes.
Thank you so much.
I'm sorry that I didn't direct a movie that you didn't watch yet. But I did. I am releasing a comedy album as we record this
tomorrow, May 8 2020. I have a new album. It's called aka it's stand up comedy. I've been doing
comedy for about 18 years now. And it's my I think favorite and best and most cohesive hour of comedy that i've
made i've liked the things i've done but i'm i'm real happy with this so i'm excited for people to
get it with you know if you're listening to a podcast you know where albums are thanks for
yeah yeah i think they could be able to they should be able to do some detective work and
figure that out and then um now it's called aka but what is it also known as oh great it's also known as a few
things one thing it's also known as is also known as uh because the original title was going to be
uh all killing aside because some of the themes that i cover are about love and compassion and
not murdering and uh so what perfect name for allilling Aside, other than if you release it in the midst of a global pandemic where there is suffering, death, uncertainty in many people's lives individually, systemically.
We're like, wow, what's going to happen? Who it's a fun, it's sort of a palindrome.
The whole show is sort of a conceptual palindrome about these topics. It starts with bathrooms,
it ends with bathrooms, there's life and death and things in between. But anyway, the point is,
I'm almost to the end of my TED Talk or ask me anything about this. My name is also sort of an
alias and also known as Mike Kaplan for Michael
Adam Kaplan. So this has been my AKA, M-A-K-A-M-A. The album comes out the 8th of May. I thank you
for asking and for having me today. All right. Well, we're all out of time, but that was awesome.
I just want to chime in. You say people know how to find it.
I have not found that to be the case because I repeatedly keep telling people
my movie is available everywhere, like on VOD, on demand,
and I just repeatedly keep getting, so it's on Netflix?
And I'm like, no, no.
Literally everywhere but Netflix.
That's very kind of you to offer.
I will say then, specifically, Apple Music.
Yeah.
iTunes, you can download it.
Probably Amazon.
I'm like, probably all these places.
Blonde Medicine is the record label,
and you can go to blondemedicine.com slash aka,
and it'll direct you to all the places.
But for sure, Apple and iTunes and such.
Yeah, and also your new album is on Netflix, isn't it?
Yeah, Doug, didn't you just hear what Clark said?
Open your butt, Netflix.
It just, you joke about this,
but there will be comments asking if both things,
my movie and your album are available on Netflix
after this airs.
They got a whole new comedy album section on Netflix now.
Huh.
Also joining us, I've heard, I got a message that he's here.
Sam Morrill, everybody.
Hey, what's up, man?
Hey, dude.
Sorry about that.
I think you assumed I was in New York and then I didn't read your email.
So I fucked up.
Sorry about that.
I did assume you were in New York,
but you gave me a fantastic
clue that i should have figured out when you said uh that uh you know you're currently with uh
another comedian that i know yeah who does live in los angeles uh-huh uh and you guys are making
uh like uh internet stuff together right yeah That's a fucking sales pitch right there.
Yeah.
We're doing some stuff.
You know, we, it's like, there's a movie podcast.
It's like marriage story and I lost.
I'm out here in LA with my girlfriend, but we're together.
So that's cool.
And yeah, we're doing movies, sketches.
We're doing our own movie podcast where we are introing each other to movies
that the other one should have seen that they haven't seen.
So we've been occupying our time watching a lot of movies.
Well, okay.
So what have you walked away with in terms of, like,
what's the one that she got you to watch that you enjoyed the most
or could recommend?
Singing in the rain.
That's an amazing movie. It's so good. I've watched it twice. I loved it.
It's a, it's just, you know what it is.
It's escapist and it's feel good. And Gene Kelly's a good dancer.
I mean, they're all good dancers, but yeah, great, great music, great movie.
And it's also, it's about a massive shift,
a transition that show business
had to make,
and specifically movie making,
when, you know,
sound had to, you know,
became like a thing
that everybody had to go ahead
and use just because
they figured out how to do it.
I actually didn't find out
that we could use sound
until my movie was already
in post-production.
It sucked.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
That's the worst i know we
just recorded picture so you just the entire all the dialogue was adr you just yeah it's yeah it
was brutal man i mean that's why it took months would have been out pre-pandemic but uh it was
supposed to be out four years ago um i like that singing in the rain is
kind of what all entertainment is now like with the pandemic raining down we're all like well
you know we're out here i don't know man i'm looking out it looks pretty nice which is it's
even more depressing when it's a nice day and you're like well nothing to do with that oh yeah
i meant metaphorical rain that uh there's clouds all around our heart.
It is interesting, though, what you said, Doug, about how it's a transition in the arts and how we all kind of have to pivot now.
I want nothing more than to do stand-up, and we all just have to all just have to, like, find other ways to occupy our time
and, you know, thank God for podcasts, I guess.
Yeah, and also you have something out there
that people can check out.
Your album, your self-made album,
is available right now, right?
Yeah, it's, you can, it's,
there's an album of it.
It's also a special that's on Comedy Central's
YouTube channel. It's called I Got This, and it's a, you can, it's, it was an album of it. It's also a special that's on comedy central's YouTube channel. It's a,
it's called, I got this and it's a, it's available. Just type in Samuel.
It should be the first thing that comes up on YouTube.
Awesome.
Yeah, man. It's a good special. I, I, Mike really built his up.
I feel like if we, two of us do that, the podcast is going to be over.
So, you know, give it a watch. It's good. I promise you'll like it.
And then who gives a shit? Yeah, but that's the thing. The podcast is going to be over. So, you know, give it a watch. It's good. I promise you'll like it. Or you won't.
And then who gives a shit?
Yeah, but that's the thing.
I can just keep promoting my movie if you guys just want to hear more promotion.
You know, this is like the first time I've ever suggested this on one of my shows.
But I expect everyone who's listening to this to listen to check out Sam's special
and Mike's new album and Clark's movie. That's got to this to listen to check out Sam special and Mike's new
album and Clark's movie, that's gotta be total time commitment.
Maybe three and a half hours.
Yeah, that's about right.
I just did. I just did the last show I did before the pandemic.
I did Dennis Miller's talk show and he asked me favorite joke off the top of
your head. And I quoted a Mike Kaplan joke.
Wow.
I did where Mike, you had used to have a joke where you say I'm Jewish,
but I'm not uber Jewish. I will use German to describe how Jewish I am.
That's a great joke.
Really appreciate it. That's a, I do want to say now,
I'm sorry that I talked over some people to try and say,
I have watched your special and it is fantastic. You are great at jokes.
Thank you.
So, so sincere.
Oh, I'm sorry. Just kidding. Yeah. So, okay. Thank you.
Yeah.
I know how to be a comedian.
Yeah. Okay. So you know what?
Let's skip the games. Everybody just go watch and listen to all their stuff
thanks everybody hell yeah that was funny why are we wasting their time with this when they
could be checking out all the stuff you guys work so hard on i'm losing money the longer this podcast
goes oh i wanted to ask you clark about your Yeah. Because that's not – I thought that was the mustache you had in the movie.
I don't understand what your question is right now.
My question is, you had that mustache in the movie,
but, like, was it a character mustache or is it a –
Oh, yes.
No, it was – I grew it for the movie, but I just kept it.
Okay. That works out perfect. Cause then in the promotions,
you look like the guy from the movie.
Yeah, no, I just kept it. Cause I haven't, um,
I've basically just been working on this, you know,
every day for like a couple of years at least, um, you know,
in post and post-production everything. So, um, I just kept it. Well,
no, that's not true. I did the Veronica Mars and I kept it.
I just kind of liked it. Um, it was fun too. Well, no, that's not true. I did the Veronica Mars and I kept it. I just kind of liked it.
It was fun too, because I'm,
I'm real specific looking with my glasses and hair and everything.
So there was something fun about, it was literally like putting on,
you know,
one of those fake mustaches that comes with the glasses and the nose.
Like if I put my hair up and put them, you know,
have the mustache and sunglasses, nobody knew me.
Even friends of mine didn't recognize me. It was funny.
Yeah, it's weird every time you walk by a mirror, right?
It was at first a little bit, but now I kind of can't picture taking it off because it
took so long to grow. I don't think I could go through that initial month of looking like
a pervert again, so I think I'm just going to keep it.
All right. That's, that's, that was all I wanted to know. So let's,
I do want to know that I also have a mustache right now and don't usually,
I think, I don't know if it's important, but it's a pretty good mustache.
I'm intrigued. All right. Oh yeah. I can show you. Yes.
I don't have, I don't have a mustache't have a mustache, but I'm dirty shaven.
I mean, I look like shit, if that helps.
That's cool.
Yeah, that's all we're looking for.
All right.
All right.
That was the part of the show where I say, let the games begin.
I've got a couple of games prepared for you guys,
starting with one that I like to call ABCD's Nuts.
It's a spelling
game.
In honor of your movie,
Clark, today we're going to spell
Arkansas.
We're going to start with
you, Clark. You get the letter A
in Arkansas. What I need you to do
is name any movie that begins
with the letter A. If you What I need you to do is name any movie that begins with the letter A.
If you match the movie that I wrote down ahead of time,
then you win automatically.
And there will be a theme will emerge, but unfortunately going first,
you won't necessarily know the theme.
So just name.
We're going to spell Arkansas.
So then Mike will be second and sam will be
third okay so uh letter a clark any movie that begins with a all the president's men
oh that's a great example i went with a movie called autumn in new york
sounds like a fake movie but okay it's real i real. I think it's Winona Ryder and Richard Gere.
I'm serious.
Okay, Mike, your letter is R.
I'm going to go with Ratatouille.
That's a great one.
That's a really good one.
Thank you.
It's not what I wrote.
I didn't write that.
No, I wrote down Raising Arizona.
Ah.
Ah.
Sam, your letter is K.
King of New York.
I wrote down King of New York.
No, you didn't.
Yes, I did.
Hell yeah.
Yeah. Isn't that crazy crazy I almost said kingpin so I'm glad yeah you well you that was a smart you did the you pivoted in the right direction
the next day I went with a movie called a rainy day in New York
and then n what was n Clark what would you think n would be
n what was n clark what would you think n would be
whoa uh that you picked yeah and we got you know we got movies with new york and arizona and the time i'll go okay okay new york new york uh it was nebraska oh yeah i think there's only I dare say there's only
maybe four or five states
where there's a movie with
the state's name and that's the full title.
Oh, really?
Yeah, it might not even be that many.
I just saw Nebraska.
I know I got a lot of grief from the
foreign sales people on my movie
because they used Nebraska
as an example of like, it didn't translate
overseas. Nobody knows what
Nebraska is.
Yeah, but that was also
black and white and depressing.
I mean,
I really like that movie, but
No, it's a good movie. I'm just saying like, I get
why people in Europe are running
out to see it. Yeah,
I don't know what the title of Arkansas is in other other countries but it'll be fun to get those see those posters yeah that'll
be super fun to find out also you're killing it in the in the dov alphabet alphabet alphabet
cessation game because when you're on vod the company that puts out the movie really wants it
a title that begins with A
so that people, when they're scrolling through alphabetical notes, they'll see it.
So Arkansas is in a great spot.
I hadn't even thought about that.
Oh, yeah.
I should have spelled Arkansas with two A's at the beginning then.
All the A's, yeah.
You should have just made it about Aardvarks and called it Aardvarks.
Yeah.
Aardvark-n- Aardvarks. Yeah. Aardvark-ensa.
All right, guys.
That means that Sam gets to go first in our next game that is coming up right after this brief commercial message.
We'll be right back.
We're back.
Holy shit, that was faster than i thought it would be but i can't wait to uh buy all of those products and do all of those things
um sam uh-huh you get to go first. All right.
In the game that's for all the marbles,
and we don't even have marbles.
There's really no prizes.
It's just for the sense of pride that you'll get.
I need it, man.
You know what I mean?
I need something.
You'll be able to hold it in your girlfriend's face.
You know, like, hey, I just won Doug Loves Movies.
What have you done today?
I need it.
I think I'm one for one on this show.
You've been on twice and you won once and lost once?
No, I think I've only been on once.
I think I won.
In Raleigh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think we're all winners today.
No, there can be only one. That's loser talk. No, no, we're all winners today. That's now there can be only one that's loser talk.
No, no, no. We all won. Have you ever won before Mike?
Uh, I don't remember. So I think the answer must be no.
Yeah. You, you would totally remember. Cause it'd be like probably top five achievements.
Can I, can I also, I know that that game is over,
but was one of the s's sweet
home alabama yes it was really oh wow yeah i was thinking how could it not be shawshank
such it's such an s movie right sam did you win without even knowing what the pattern was that you won? Absolutely. Is it chick flicks?
No,
it's,
it's movies with States in the title.
That's what it is.
I fucking,
okay.
You're right.
Nebraska.
Why didn't I fucking get that?
Was the K California?
Oh,
that's a good one.
That would have been smarter.
Cause then Sam wouldn't have won.
Oh,
right.
It was already King of New York.
Now I'm done.
I just have to go
with my gut on these but i yeah california is a good uh a good option because of that
all right so we're gonna play to determine a winner today the game is called last man or woman
stanton and um basically we're gonna all take turns i like to play along on this one
we all take turns uh naming movies that uh one particular actor or actress is in and to determine
who that person is going to be today uh sam gets to pick because of the fact that he won that first
game so damn this is a lot of pressure so much pressure because you have to pick because of the fact that he won that first game.
So this is a lot of pressure,
so much pressure because you have to pick somebody that, you know, that you hope you have a better handle on, uh, you know, the titles of, uh,
their, you know, hopefully many movies, man, I'll give you a,
you know, a second to think about it. I was like, yeah,
just think about it while I always like, yeah, just think about it while I
babble about this.
I always thought it'd be fun to pick James
Dean because he's only been in three movies
and it'd be over really quick.
Doug, you've done these before
where we're all in different places.
Do you talk about the honor system that we're all potentially under
because we have our computers and could make this not fun at all?
Yeah, well, that's part of the fun of there being no prizes
is that it's an extra level of cheating yourself when you cheat to win nothing.
I'm mostly embarrassed that I hadn't thought of cheating yet.
Mark, that's, I mean, that you're a beautiful soul. That's like,
do you know there's a bird called the scrub Jay that they bury their food and
remember it up to five days later.
And then they'll sometimes if they see another scrub J watching them,
then they'll move it because they think they're going to steal it.
But the only ones that move it thinking that someone else will steal from them
are ones that themselves have stolen before.
So you not even thinking of cheating, I now put it into your mind.
How did scientists figure that?
How did they figure that out that only the one
the one guy was stealing like that seems impossible to prove you know i'm no bird
i'm not either guys i think i think i got someone i think this is great unless you've
if you've done them on the show do you not do them again um you know obviously there's going to be repeats but the
point is is that the four of us haven't all tried to play whatever person you're going to name so
it'll be it'll be unique in that sense i think this is a good one because today's his 59th birthday
i just saw this on the news so george george clooney whoa I love it
let's keep this game going we all know Clooney
yeah Georgie Cloones
I don't know if
have you worked with him Clark
no I wish no
big fan
okay so you can't cheat in that
sense you can't just name a movie that you know
you were in with him
so
Sam go ahead and start us off any movie that you know you were in with him so um sam go ahead and start
us off any movie that had george clooney in it three kings great movie oh yeah did you make
your girlfriend watch that one no but that might be a good one i i dig that movie it's been a while
yeah i dig it too i just don't know if it's a little too much on the action tip for, you know, for some people.
She made me watch 13 going on 30.
And I was like,
I'm going to make you watch so many movies where the wife gets murdered and
the husband has to avenge her, you know?
So John wick it's like in the conversation maybe,
but it's not like important to me.
That's the point of the podcast.
Yeah, that's good.
Yeah.
I don't, I mean, I just, it's disgusting that like the ox office in America, everything
is kind of geared toward that the men are going to decide what movies they're going
to go out and see as couples.
And that's so annoying to me.
Anyway, who's next?
Mike. Oh, sorry. I apologize. apologize clark okay i won't say anything just
yeah it's just any any cluny movie any cluny and when you run out that's when you lose okay well
one of my favorites one of my favorite movies period is uh out of sight love that movie yeah
hell yeah yeah that's that's a great one that's like uh i always bring that up
as uh to this day the best movie j-lo's best movie she's great in it she's incredible yeah
i thought she was great in hustlers this year i thought i thought she should have got a nomination
but the but the gap between that movie and hustlers all she makes is dumb rom-coms
yeah and uh you know knock made in manhattan dude
you know what you're right made in manhattan i mean there's that one uh the wedding planner
where there's any like a sequence where mike where uh matthew mcconaughey has like a porcelain dick glued to his hand.
And that was just
the EPK stuff. That was just the
behind the scenes stuff. That's just him
cutting up on the set.
Yeah. But other than that
the movie has no redeeming value
is what you're saying? I don't know.
People probably like it.
People
like their rom-coms. you know that's one of my
least favorite genres in general but if we're gonna name a a rom-com that i actually like it's
have you guys seen uh uh ghosts of of uh girlfriends past i have a buddy who's in that movie
uh uh my micah sherman he's uh he we started doing a stand-up together in boston he's a I have a buddy who's in that movie. Micah Sherman.
We started doing a standup together in Boston. He's a actor and improviser.
I think he was the 16th on the call sheet.
He's one of the groomsmen who's like the three guys who hang out with Matthew
McConaughey.
Yeah. While Michael Douglas steals the movie,
he's like just a complete old pervert in that movie
oh yeah can i can i tell you one of my favorite jokes from that movie yes uh sort of towards the
beginning matthew mcconaughey's character is a ladies man and he's getting with a lady right and
he says to her i love girls with daddy issues and, daddy issues. I don't even know my father.
Oh, that's good.
Oh man.
That's strong.
It's good.
I thought it was going to be some sort of magazine prescription joke.
Oh,
daddy, daddy issues.
I like that too. Okay, Mike mike it's your turn name a clooney
i'll say oceans 12.
i like where this is going all right so it's my so it's my turn next i I like to play. And I will say oceans.
Damn.
I got to go ocean 13.
Yeah. I mean, what's, what's the point of leaving it hanging out there?
Clark from dust till dawn. Another another another old favorite of mine yeah i just saw that
again that one holds up pretty nicely that movie is so fun man um i i really i think robert
rodriguez's movies that he directs that other people wrote are are pretty like the faculty
that was another good one i wish that uh from dusk till dawn could like exist in a vacuum
where they don't have to say what it's really about in promoting it because totally yeah because
it takes such a fun turn if you don't know about it oh yeah yeah it'd be amazing if you could watch
that movie silence yeah that would be cool. Marketing every movie though. Yeah. Well, I, you know,
they've, there's another thing that drives me crazy is that your average person wants to know
what's going to happen in a movie and doesn't care about spoilers. It's only all of us nerds that
care. Whose turn is it? Is it Mike?
First I'll say, Sam,
maybe you could share this with Taylor and not tell her anything about it from
dust till dawn and she'll be the perfect audience.
Oh, wow.
Don't tell her anything. It'll really scare her.
She will not like it.
I think that won't be for me.
Ben, don't do that.
She doesn't go in for Walking Dead or that kind of thing?
I don't think that's another thing.
I wouldn't compare that movie to Walking Dead.
Well, I'm just saying that how much you enjoy a nice succession of zombie kills
is kind of a way to look at it.
Because I could see somebody not finding that, you know, terribly compelling.
And by somebody, I mean, Sam's girlfriend.
I will say, oh brother, where art thou?
Nice.
That's a good one.
That opens up a real uh you know a whole area that i will
happily continue to explore with burn after reading
sam intolerable cruelty oh yeah
if we're going if we're going
Cone Brothers
let's go Cone Brothers
you know
oh that's a title
I was just
I was just excited
about the concept
um
Clark
Batman and Robin
oh yeah
uh
I will say Up in the Air.
Yeah, that's one of my favorite Cloonies, that movie.
It's a good one.
Yeah, it's going to be weird to watch that movie
if things continue as they are.
More like Up in the Where?
Exactly.
Up in the where exactly up in the why that's from my next uh episode of daddy issues check out the latest issue of dad jokes i love that movie but you know one thing i didn't love
about it is in the ending when like the credits start rolling they show all these people like
yeah i got laid off but you know i got my wife and we're like yeah we get it he's he's unhappy it's a sad ending you know like you could have just left it
at the terminal we would we would have gotten it you know otherwise great though i think
yes just turn it off before before it becomes not great yes
um that was mike said up in the air yep okay so that means it's on me again and i gotta go back
to it the the good old uh coen brothers hail caesar
so it's my turn um yes hmm syriana oh nice My turn? Yes.
Syriana.
Oh, nice.
He won the Oscar for that one.
Did he?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, best supporting actor.
Oh, good for him.
I prefer character actors in the supporting slot,
not these handsome assholes.
Like Brad Pitt just won supporting actor. What is happening?
Supporting actor is supposed to go to like, you know,
Alan Arkin or something.
Oliver Platt.
Yeah, exactly.
Oliver Platt in, did you guys see the Ice Harvest?
Yeah, it's with John Cusack, right?
Oh, yeah. We did a movie once, so
I call those guys Ollie and Johnny.
Oh, yeah.
Which one's which?
Take your
pick.
Old Ollie Cuse.
Alright, so Cusack was Hot Tub Time Machine. Old Ollie Cues. All right.
So Cusack was Hot Tub Time Machine.
And what was the, who was the other guy?
Ollie Platt was in,
we did this Christmas movie together.
It was Robin Williams' last movie.
It's called – they kept changing the title.
I think the final title was Merry Friggin' Christmas,
which is not a strong title at all.
I'll check it out around the holidays.
Yeah, save it for the holidays.
Yeah.
All right.
Great cast. Hell of a cast, though yeah and you're you're up clark what do you got
for clooney the descendants yeah nobody runs in flip-flops better than george
he's the tom cruise of running in flip-flops.
Here's what I have to offer because the last one that I had in mind was Syriana.
So I'll offer that if you ever see someone who looks like George Clooney,
but isn't him, you could call him George Clooney.
And my guess will be Roseanne the movie.
Is that the end of the game?
is that it? no you have to keep going
I think Mike really
tied up his
participation in a bow there
thank you
for playing Mike and you know certainly
stick around because
we'll talk more if there's time at the end
but that means that now it's my turn and for Clooney I'm gonna go with
one fine day I don't know that one chick flick day was he he and michelle pfeiffer each had one stupid little kid
and uh they both had their dumb kids and so they uh you know they spent the day together even though
they didn't get along you know they spent the day together because then they took turns
watching each other's kids that sounds fantastic one of the kids is May Whitman Oh wow yeah
I forget who's little boy is though
But I think he's also still working
Maybe
Whose turn is it
It's May
So wait I'll go
Gravity
Oh of course
I forgot about that one
Yeah
Is it my turn now Clark yeah Oh, of course. I forgot about that one. Yeah.
Is it my turn now?
Clark, yeah.
Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Oh, wow.
Voice work.
Yeah.
Deep cut.
Yeah, voice work is smart.
Deep cut. That's right.
This isn't me wrapping up the show
good night and good luck
Solaris
which I never saw
I never saw
but I'm aware of
the movie was
or the pic
if I saw it it was boring I'm aware of. The movie was. The pig.
If I saw it, it was boring.
It looked rough.
Because I don't remember.
It was like one of those chamber pieces in a spaceship,
I think.
Yeah.
I'm out, but I just want to offer that the
little boy actor, I think, in One Fine Day
is Alex D. Lins.
Does that sound like it?
Yeah. He went
on to do, he replaced
Macaulay Culkin in the third Home Alone
movie.
Is that real? Really?
Uh-huh.
I mean
not replaced but you know when they made the third one
Mac wasn't.
Okay.
Where are we at?
Clark?
I just went, right?
Is it me?
Yeah.
Oh, God.
Did someone say burn after reading already?
Yep.
Oh, God.
I had that in the chamber.
Yeah.
What's the...
I feel like he's made
three or four movies about the CIA
and I can't remember the titles of any of them.
Oh, yeah.
But it's not just Syriana.
There's more.
For sure.
I feel like he's made like like multiple movies uh
men who stare at goats oh nice there's more george clooney playing cia guy movies though
yeah i think i've got one wasn't he in uh uh the peac? I don't even know what that is.
That's right.
Yeah, that's a deep cut.
I never saw that.
I just remember the poster with him and Nicole Kidman.
Yeah.
And they were like running on the poster.
I'll pass.
Yeah, the movie didn't have a lot of running in it.
All right.
I can't believe no one said this one yet.
And correct me if they have.
Michael Clayton?
No, they haven't. No, they haven't. That's a this one yet. And correct me if they have. Michael Clayton? No, they haven't.
No, they haven't. That's a good one.
That's a great movie.
That's right before Tom Wilkinson was in that
and he was so good. And then he was in that Woody Allen movie
Cassandra's Dream and it was like
so bad that
I remember people were laughing
in the movie theater during a serious
monologue he was giving.
What the fuck is going on this is
terrible
what do you think
Clark can you come up with another one
The Good German
oh yeah
I think he directed that
one right I don't think so but
he's in it or did he direct good and Good Luck, and I'm confusing them?
Yeah.
Or maybe, like, did De Niro direct The Good German?
Did I imagine that?
I think you might be right about that.
And Matt Damon's in it, right?
Yes.
I think he plays the title role.
He plays good? Yes. I think he plays the title role. He plays good.
Yeah.
I think honestly,
I'm remembering now the last,
I think the last time I was on Doug loves movies,
we might've also had George Clooney.
And I just still didn't remember as many of the ones as y'all came up with
then,
but I'm looking at the imdb now
and there's uh would you accept tv movies no i would
uh no we don't we stay away from tv movies and um but yeah he's there's definitely uh
i i bet cluny's got at least a dozen titles we haven't mentioned yet. There's so many good ones.
Yeah.
No, it's crazy how the mind just sort of locks up
and you just sort of keep thinking of the same ones.
And then you branch off and try to think of –
you just kind of figure out an angle to think of another one.
Yeah.
Do you have anything else, Clark?
Oh, you said
you said the
good German.
I said good
German.
OK, so it's
so that means
it's on me
again.
So I'm
going to say.
Oh, fuck.
The Nespresso
ads with Danny
DeVito, that's
all I got left.
Yeah, there's that.
Casamigos tequila or something?
I don't know.
He's still associated with that?
Yeah, the motorcycle.
The billboard with him on a motorcycle.
I'm going to go ahead and pull out the old first movie he was ever in.
Title, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. Really tomatoes is that real wow um okay my turn
monument man was that the title the the monument men i would accept monuments with an s the monuments men yeah i'm so impressed
that you remember that fucking book i didn't see it but i remember reading a lot about it because
i was surprised that uh it had that cast and still everyone said it was shit it's it's kind
of stunning how like there's not hardly anything happens it's not very suspenseful bill
murray sort of kind of wanders through it you know like it's weird i mean i guess it's kind
of got a good plot because it's based on a real thing that happened where uh you know some sort
of they were able to use like pieces of art to trick some nazis or something yeah so you sound fascinating
to you doesn't it yeah i mean there was more interesting shit in world war ii probably but
whatever i guess it's kind of cool i guess if it was done better it would have been cool
yeah exactly um i'm just totally i don't want to keep everybody forever trying to think of another Cooney, so I'm going to tap.
I'm out too.
I got like two, maybe three left.
Oh my God.
Yeah, let's see what we've got left.
Okay.
Wasn't he in Perfect Storm?
Wasn't that him and Wahlberg?
Oh yeah, of course.
Okay.
And then I got, I can't remember the name of this one,
so this one doesn't count,
but he directed and he had a supporting role in,
it's a CIA movie with Steve Rockwell and Julia Roberts, but i can't remember the name oh dangerous confessions of a
dangerous mind yeah that was great yeah that's a great movie i got one more and i i think this
counts what didn't he do a cameo in the south park movie wasn't that really good yep yep all
right that's all i got what are we missing missing now? One more. He was in The Thin Red Line.
Oh, I want to guess that.
He was in Spy Kids.
Really?
Didn't know this one either.
And Spy Kids 3D Game Over.
He must have just been friends with Rodriguez from Dusk Till Dawn, right?
Yeah.
That's how that happens.
For sure.
There's a movie called Leatherheads.
Oh, yeah. Leathernecks. It says. Oh, no. Heads. You're right. It's that's how that happens for sure there's a movie called leather heads oh yeah leather necks uh it says oh no heads you're right it's head it's the football movie i'm not the
football thing yeah it's about uh football players with those stupid old leather helmets with john
krasinski who you guys might know from the office have you heard of that show clark
only a few dozen times a day on instagram uh i get i get
really crazy because like between netflix and comedy central there's never not a moment in the
day when you're probably not on an episode of the office on somebody's tv somewhere oh dude i totally
forgot the ides of march that's a fucking depressing one cia one right yeah i'm looking
at his stuff now i i wouldn't, I wouldn't have remembered the American.
That's another one. I wouldn't have.
Is that a CIA one that sounds like a CIA one, right? Yeah. I mean,
he's got a real love for movies about the CIA. Yeah.
Maybe you guys think he's in the CIA and this is like the best cover.
Maybe. I mean, that's the premise of confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Maybe that's him taunting us.
Also, Clark,
I don't think that we've
met and so this is the first time that I've ever been on a
call with you or a podcast
with you. Does anyone ever tell you, and I hope
this isn't like, you know, associating
all people from the South as sounding the same,
but do people tell you you sound like Nate Bargetzi?
I don't know who that is and I've never heard that, no.
You kind of do, a little bit.
He's a hilarious comedian who's a friend of ours, some of ours.
Yeah.
I don't know. I'm terrible with names. I mean, I could have met him.
I definitely can hear it, and you might have met him somewhere,
but chances are, probably not. He's a pretty low-key guy.
Oh, he's actually got a comedy special that you can check out everywhere,
including Netflix.
Oh, why?
I'm so sorry.
Don't promote some other guy's podcast.
He gets so much promotion going.
I mean, special.
I mean, whatever. All right. Watch. I mean, special. I mean, whatever.
All right.
Watch.
Thank you, guys.
Sam, you're officially the winner today.
Yes.
And so for your prize, you get to remain in sequester with your girlfriend.
And you check out Sam's special, Mike's new album, and Clark's film, Arkansas, a.k.a.
And what's it called again, Sam?
My special?
Yeah.
It's called I Got This.
It would have been funnier if I said, what's it called again?
I Got This.
It would have been funnier if I said, what's it called again?
I got this.
Thank you to all three of you guys.
Douglovesmovies.com is where you go if you think I'm going to be doing shows anytime soon and you want to buy tickets.
