Today's episode is also brought to you in part by IFC Films, Amazon Studios, and Wiener Dog,
the new film from the director of Welcome to the Dollhouse and Happiness.
I haven't seen it yet, but I can't wait
because it's got Greta Gerwig, Danny DeVito,
Ellen Burstyn, Julie Delpy, and Joshua Mamet
in the story about a wayward, adorable dachshund
who passes from oddball owner to oddball owner,
including the world's worst mom.
I'm guessing that's maybe Ellen Burstyn,
a down-on-his-luck screenwriter, gotta be DeVito,
and the grown-up incarnation of Welcome to Dollhouse's Don Wiener,
whose dysfunctional lives are all impacted by the adorably stoic pooch.
Wiener Dog is in select theaters now. Enjoy the show!
Dog hates candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seeds with 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see
because Doug loves movies.
Hey, hey, hey, everybody.
They weren't kidding about it.
There's new lights in here.
It's different.
But I'll adjust.
I'm all right with it.
My name is Doug, and I love movies.
Yes, I love movies.
Coming to you from our original home,
the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles,
Franklin Avenue location.
It's Tuesday, July 5th,
2016. May I
see your name tags?
Is it possible to turn the house
lights up for that? Oh, there you go.
You and me and Ashley
instead of Dupree.
But it's not a poster
from the movie. It's like a light, it's a small
light-up marquee in your hand,
and it's got popcorn and a camera on there.
Great description, Doug.
The Mark Knight.
I just love how you just drew that on a big piece of white paper.
It's a very nice Batman logo.
You couldn't be bothered to make it perfectly dark.
You just went a little nuts
with the magic marker on it
and called it a day.
Might even go outside the lines
in a couple spots, maybe.
No, no, you're in the lines.
The Brian King is another piece of artwork.
You guys are really creating stuff here.
This is a great,
I guess it's an L.A. thing.
No, people do it everywhere.
What the fuck am I talking about?
But the Brian King, it's
a baby me
being held up by the
which I don't know why the
lions give their baby to a monkey
but in the movie
but then below
the cliff there, there's a bunch
of tiny little cameras with legs running around.
So that's, you were high when you did that, I'm pretty sure.
You were tripping on something.
Our friend Nate is back with his dream lineup in little figurines that he made.
Is that a good word for it, figurines?
Okay, but you said you're going to be back one more time next week?
All right, so next week when he comes in and brings out
the show on Monday, July 11th
I'm going to smash it with my goddamn feet.
I'm going to make him watch me smash it
and hopefully he'll cry or something.
Doug Plugs, Columbus, Ohio
this Saturday at 4.20.
Oh, thanks for bringing your name tags.
Still holding them up where you going
sneaky Pete
did I say Columbus Ohio
yes I did this Saturday at 420
at the funny bone
should be a wilder
one if you know what I'm saying
Washington
DC I'm doing a dabs
day show at the Improv this Sunday
and I don't know why I brought it up
because there's like three tickets left
or something like that
so a couple and a loner
are going to get those
and Doug Loves Movies
is back in Los Angeles
on Monday, July 11th
as I already mentioned
at 8.30 over at the other UCB
on Sunset
from the corrections department I guess when discussing the sad passing of Anton Yelchin
on Douglas movies, I said that he played Scotty in the Star Trek movies.
And such restraint on the part of all the listeners to not complain to the corrections
department.
But finally, one guy had to do it today.
He had to say that he played, you know, Chekhov
and that Simon Pegg, of course, plays Scotty.
And I think most people didn't correct me
because they just knew that I was thinking
I was saying Scotty.
I mean Chekhov.
You know what I mean.
Anyway, I'm sorry to have mixed anything up
and I promise I'll try
not to do it again, and may the
force be with you.
In the prize bag, I didn't know if you guys would get that.
It's a little slow burn
on that one. In the prize
bag, which is a delightful, you know,
I don't appreciate the gap
when I go in to buy
just some socks you just toss it in a baby gap bag that i gotta walk around with
but it does make a lovely gift bag uh i've got a pipe from peacemaker in here i've got uh some uh
a dvd of a motion picture called wristist Cutters, A Love Story.
A film by Goran Dukic.
Really?
Also another movie that got sent to me
a few years ago for consideration.
Even though I don't really vote for anything.
A Dangerous Method.
Remember that?
That was a weird ass movie.
Also a CD called The New Jack Hippies,
13 Original Songs About Weed.
From the Homegrown Collective,
wherever that is,
wherever I picked that up.
And from my personal VHS collection,
we've got an episode of a reality show
that was called Pop Stars
and
Gilmore Girls.
An episode entitled
Forgiveness and Stuff.
Because those girls had fun even with the titles
of the episodes.
Plus, we're going to have whatever treasures are brought here by my guests tonight.
I'm very excited about these three dudes.
Please give a big warm welcome to Joe Mazzello, Josh Wolfe, and Danny Trejo. Oh!
Sit wherever you'd like, guys.
Welcome, everybody.
Oh, yeah, hi hi Wow is right
Let's say hi to him first everybody
It's Machete himself
Badass Danny Trejo
Yeah, I went from being the baddest guy on the planet
Machete to Marsha Brady in one love
That Marsha Brady spot Oh my goodness That is guy on the planet machete to Marsha Brady in one love.
That Marsha Brady spot.
Oh, my goodness.
That is good stuff.
I wonder who pitched that in the room, too.
You know who we should get?
Danny Drayhoff.
Fuck you.
We'll never do that.
They got some real extreme types in those ads. To show contrast.
My agent called me up
and said hey
we got a Super Bowl
commercial
and that is like
that's like the golden
fleece to
to an actor
that's
more people watch
the Super Bowl
than the Oscars
and uh
and so I go
oh awesome
he said one problem
what's that
you have to be
Marsha Brady
I said what
and then
then she said what they were going to pay me.
Oh, Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.
Yeah, you're in.
Yeah, that's, you know, your motivation's not difficult to figure out.
Say Marsha three times, get the cash.
And then when I found out Steve Buscemi was going to be with me saying,
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha, yeah, we're in.
Okay.
Worked out pretty good for you guys.
I think you're going to do well.
Yeah.
Is that your prediction?
Yeah.
We'll try it.
I think things are looking up for Danny.
You think he's going to do okay?
Yeah.
Wow, that's a bull.
Check this out, you guys.
316 credits on IMDb for mr danny trejo
i i have to confess i gotta confess a lot of those are like student films
no they're not a lot of those a lot of them were like they bought me lunch you know
hey daddy do you want a sandwich first time director
you know
how do you say no
to some kid
that's trying to
you know
make it in the film industry
and he's like
in college
and hey
will you do this
my agent will call me up
and say
they'll buy you lunch
and pay for your gas
where am I going
to Van Nuys
I live in North Hollywood
the hell is right here
yeah
is that all it takes
I'm sorry is that all it takes to get you into a movie?
Yeah, you know.
You will be in every movie
I make from now to the end of time.
That's right, because
Joe Mazzello is here, everybody.
And he...
It's really
fun, the journey I've
taken with you, Joe,
because you're my,
one of my favorite parts of the original Jurassic Park
was you as a child
getting almost electrocuted to death.
Yeah.
And staggering around with a funny hair
and smoke coming out of your head.
Yeah.
I had a routine about that.
It hasn't gone down that much.
Yeah, your hair's similar.
But now you're
you're an adult
grown man
and I was watching
I'm one of
I'm one of those things
you survived
dinosaurs
and electrocution
and a cameo
in part two
right
which were you pissed off
by that
you had a small part
in part two
or were you busy
with school and stuff
that was like
I called it like
my scholarship my like Jurassic Park yeah because i like got paid to
come on for one day and i was like cool i can go to college yeah nice there are no small parts you
gotta remember that yeah i was a very small actor though by the way by the way danny you might want
to think about getting his agent because one day he paid for college and you're getting a fucking sandwich.
He said lunch.
I said sandwich.
There was probably other...
It was probably a very nice lunch.
You're right.
He was making an offer.
It was probably a last meal kind of lunch.
I said no.
Well, let's just introduce him now
because you just heard his voice.
Josh Wolf is here, everybody.
Hi.
Hey, Doug.
Hey, dude.
How are you?
I want to talk about Joe some more.
So I'm watching...
I'm watching Justified,
and there's an episode with this crazy preacher
with a fucking snake.
I won't give away
any more than that
if you want to go back
and watch it.
But I was like,
who is this actor?
I've never,
you know,
it always drives me crazy
when I see a character actor
that I don't know
or in your case,
you know,
leading man.
And I was like
trying to figure it out
and then I always
peek at the credits
and I remembered your name
from Jurassic Park.
There I was.
I was like, that's fucking Joseph Mazzello all grown up and shit.
That's me.
And that's awesome.
And now, you have a movie that you wrote and directed and also have a part in.
Yes.
Correct.
That everyone can see, either on VOD or in theaters, on July 15th?
July 15th, that's right.
What's it called?
It's called Undrafted.
Undrafted.
Undrafted.
And it's about baseball.
It's a baseball movie.
It's an ensemble.
It's a comedy,
but it tugs at your heartstrings at the end.
Was that... Oh, just fucking keep your hands off my heartstrings.
I'm an emotional mess.
But you...
So you played baseball in school and stuff?
I had no time to play baseball,
but my brother played baseball all the time.
I had a choice when I was nine years old
to go do a movie, Shadowlands was the name of it,
or to play Little League Baseball.
And so I went to my first Little League Baseball tryout,
and I got hit in the face with a ball.
And I said, that's the end of my baseball career.
I am going to do movies.
You know what?
And I hope they don't mind this big baseball welt on my face.
That came down.
But you know what, Doug?
The typical American story.
Most little boys grow up and they're like, I don't know.
Should I play Little League this year or be in Jurassic Park?
I don't know which one.
I think the choices were T-Ball and Jurassic Park.
Around that time.
But Josh, I want to get back to Danny.
Danny, you have... I went to Juvenile Hall.
There you go.
Halls of Justice.
You have an Indiegogo.
That's why you're here.
I mean, you also seem to be a very nice person
who's enjoying this experience.
But we got something we need people to
pitch in for because you want
to make a movie called Social Security.
Right. I love the premise of this movie.
You're basically,
it says in the write-up that you play yourself
kind of. Yeah.
But that you
help out in a terrorist
situation in an old age home. They describe
it as die hard in a funeral.
Not funeral.
Die hard in a funeral.
Die hard.
Yeah, really strange.
The body count begins before the movie does.
It's going to be, it's kind of, minus Bruce Willis,
it's going to be a diehard in a retirement home.
Senior citizens.
Don't interrupt me.
Retirement.
Sorry.
I will not.
It's going to be diehard
in a retirement home,
and we need to get this man
a Snickers.
God.
You don't know how many times
I've heard that from my kids.
Oh, shit.
Bob, get him a snicker.
And I'm sure God drops the snickers on your ass.
Immediately.
Yeah, it's kind of die hard in an old age home.
And I go to visit a friend.
I put a friend in there.
And all of a sudden, people are robbing people.
Because right now, believe it or not, there's over 6 million senior citizens that are being abused annually in the United States.
Either by their kids or by hospitals.
Notice how quiet it got.
That's serious shit.
It's pretty serious.
But it's serious shit.
But I'm glad you're making a movie about it that sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun.
We're trying to kind of empower them,
and we're going to be handing out stun guns.
Here, Grandma, take this.
So we're just trying to bring it to light.
And a lot of the proceeds are being donated to...
Craig, help me out.
For all the elderly abused, an organization.
An organization for the abused elderly.
That's Craig Moss.
He's the director of Badass 1, 2, and 3.
That's right.
Yeah, and now he will be directing his new project.
If you guys Indiegogo it,
just go to Indiegogo
and type in Danny Trejo,
T-R-E-J-O,
and you can bid
for really cool things,
like lunch with Danny,
so you'll go with him
to the set of a student film
and have lunch together.
If you give enough money,
you'll get hit in the face by me.
In the movie. Or get me. In the movie.
Or get killed.
In the movie.
You got to be clear.
When I was reading it, I was like, you know, if you pledge this much, I'll punch you in the face.
In the movie.
Wait, is it going to be my double in the movie that gets punched in the face?
I don't think they're going to hire one.
But that sounds awesome.
And yeah, I'm going to bid on that, I think.
Which one?
The punch in the face?
Yeah, yeah.
And you could get like, you know, a speaking role in the movie and be a producer.
Well, I would hope the guy that gets punched in the face says something first.
At least, ouch.
Before or after, the guy's got to have some lines.
He's got to make trouble or be in pain.
Or both, actually.
But that's
I hope it works out for you.
How long do they, what's the cut off?
How soon do people have to
go there and pledge?
You're asking me? I'm the producer.
Oh yeah, yeah, dude.
Well, it's going right now.
It'll be for another
28 days.
28 days or whatever those things go go for you're gonna auction off those
sweet ass vintage Jordans you're wearing look at those fuckers
there you go so these guys are willing to put up anything to get this movie
would you make sweet love to a young lady if she put the right price my love interest if my love
interest uh there's to be a love interest
depending on how much money she puts up.
And I think it's so funny
because I kind of said,
well, she might have to have some daddy issues.
What if she was like,
you know what, I'd rather get punched in the face.
Craig says, no, wait a minute.
Craig says, for both.
Craig says, I said,
she might have to have some daddy issues.
Don't ever break a joke again.
Machete is telling a joke.
Yeah, send the audience.
Good call, Josh.
She might have to have some daddy issues.
Craig said, she might have to have some granddaddy issues.
Oh, no.
Did you get punched for that one?
Yeah.
Oh, it's an old age home.
Yeah, I wouldn't say something like that to you
because the next sound would be,
shoo!
The blade coming out.
The blade.
Yeah, all right.
So, do you have anything you want people to check out, Josh?
I just did 10 new minutes at the Laugh Factory tonight.
Oh, okay.
That was a joke, by the way.
No, there's nothing going on with me.
Just my stand-up, man.
My stand-up.
You want everyone to see Undrafted, I thought.
Yeah, I want everyone to see Undrafted, and it's really important to me.
And I might get bit to get punched in the face.
Hey, get in there.
Craig, get in there.
What if you and I were outbidding each other to get punched in the face?
No, let's always bid the exact same amount, but be the top bidder.
So he's going to have to.
Danny can punch both of us at the same time.
Or double punch?
That's what I'm saying.
Like, if we're standing next to each other, he just follows through and punches both of us.
Bing, bing.
Or, yeah, that business.
I like that.
Yeah.
Write it in, Craig.
Don't get him.
You're going to have to give him a credit.
Yeah, yeah, I'm good. No, I got nothing. I'm just excited. I'll wear a hat, too. Don't get him. You're going to have to give him a credit. Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
No, I got nothing.
I'm just excited.
I'll wear a hat, too.
We'll just be a couple of white assholes.
Yeah.
I play that part very well.
After he punches both of us, he can say, don't do drugs.
Yeah.
Because, Danny, we do.
So, Josh. Yeah. What did Danny, we do.
So, Josh.
Yeah.
What did you bring for the prize bag?
Oh, I, this happens to be a book that I wrote,
a New York Times best-selling book,
and I brought a fucking hard copy, everybody.
So there you go.
Now, listen.
It's called It Takes Balls, Dating Single Moms and Other Confessions from an Unprepared Single Dad.
But don't get lost in these fucking eyes, everybody.
I just want you to...
I'm so sorry they put that in the back.
But there you are.
That's what I brought.
Dude, you've also got hair under there.
You wear baseball caps like a bald guy.
Yeah.
You know why?
I'll tell you why.
When I was very young, I was probably 13 and um i was washing dishes in in
the kitchen and my dad walked through the kitchen and he went you have a huge forehead and i've been
wearing a hat ever since yeah i walked in because i went i went oh daddy's got forehead issues
i went in to talk to my mom i go mom, Mom, Dad said I have a big forehead.
Do I have a big forehead?
And I was expecting her to go,
No, baby, you don't have a big forehead.
She goes, Just because you have a lot of brains.
And I was like, Oh, I must have a huge fucking forehead.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, put a hat on, Megamind.
Exactly. Exactly.
Exactly.
Pick a team, Poindexter.
That's not a big head person, necessarily.
All right, yeah, he's just smart.
Has big glasses.
Pass that down.
Thank you for bringing that.
Thank you.
And what do you got for the bag, Mr. Mazzello?
Yes, I brought a literal ball sack.
It's two baseball.
I got a baseball signed by the entire cast of Undrafted.
Including Chase Crawford's on there?
Mr. Chase Crawford, Tyler Hoechlin, Jim Belushi, Billy Gardell.
A lot of great people in the movie.
How nice is that Billy Gardell?
He's a great guy.
What a sweetheart.
He's the best.
He's only got one.
He's only got one ball.
It's the Lance Armstrong ball sack.
Well, there's been a...
First of many dick jokes, everybody.
Settle in.
Okay, here we go.
Balls have been the theme of two of the gifts tonight,
so it's only appropriate that we also have a badass poster.
Yeah, look at that.
Did you throw your signature on there already?
That was a fun movie.
No, I need a marker.
All right, I can do a marker right now.
Let's get it done.
That's amazing.
Very cool.
So somebody's going to win all that stuff tonight.
Hey, Danny, do you have any action figures of yourself?
You know what?
They made a machete action figure and i didn't know it and
so the first time i was at an autograph signing in england and somebody brought this doll
will you sign my dog no i won't sign your dog well it's you and oh okay
i'm not going to sign your dolly.
Find your fucking doll.
I'll sign that one.
All right, so he's writing,
here's your fucking doll.
Right here.
Thank you, Danny Trejo.
Bless you, audience member that just sneezed.
So I immediately called my agent.
Are we getting a part
of this
so yeah
were you
yeah
that's the kind of
mailbox money I want
when I don't even know
what the fucking
checks are for
I'm like what is this one for
I got a dollar residual
they did a Jurassic Park
action figure for me
they did
yeah
but I didn't get any
pieces because it looked
nothing like me
they made sure of it like the Nedry action figure was me. They did? Yeah. But I didn't get any pieces because it looked nothing like me. They made sure
of it. Like the Nedry action figure was like really
slim. Wait, are you serious?
You didn't get any? I'm dead serious. Yeah, we didn't get anything
for it. The Sam Jackson one was a white
guy.
Yeah.
He pulled a string
on his back. He goes, hold on to your
butts.
My agent, Gloria Hinojosa.
Call her. She'll get you.
We're going to talk.
Yeah, seriously. I think we just
made these two a team.
Would you want to have an action figure of yourself?
An inaction figure would be cool.
Just you on the couch.
Just on its side all the time.
Yeah.
Or into couch, but yeah.
That could totally be cool.
I mean, you know, you just never know what's going to happen in this crazy business.
We all didn't get into it to be action figures.
You know?
I played inmate number one for my first five years.
Well, you were always number one, it sounds like.
That's what I thought.
I didn't even know.
The first time I was interviewed somebody said
Mr. Trejo aren't you afraid of being stereotyped?
And I said as what? And they said well you're always playing
the badass Chicano with tattoos. And I thought about
it and I said I am the badass Chicano with tattoos.
Yeah. Why fight it?
This was
the worst Hollywood moment
ever for me personally.
I had written and sold a show
about my life.
The Josh Wolfe Show.
It's a couple years ago.
Clearly a thing that
has not happened. Yeah.
We're in the meeting with the network.
I won't say what network it was, NBC.
And we're in the meeting, and they're like, this script is great.
And we've got a great team.
And they look at me, and they go, who do you see playing Josh?
And I was like, what?
And they go, who do you see playing Josh? And I was like, uh, well, me.
Because I am Josh.
Yeah.
The guy was like, I don't see it.
And I go, what do you mean?
He goes, I'm not sure.
Yeah, I don't see it.
I don't see you playing this character.
I'm like, what the fuck are you talking about?
Did you pull out your resume and show him that you've played Josh, the character of Josh?
I pulled out my fucking driver's license.
And I was like, look at Josh right here.
Drink it in.
Yeah.
You had two different shows.
You had a recurring role as a guy named Josh.
On Raising Hope and My Name is Earl.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, because the guy who created it i was like why do you keep naming
my character josh he goes honestly i said yeah he goes not sure how bright you are i don't want you
to think about too much and i was like all right fair enough okay not an insult by the way as long
as he kept writing me in i'm like i don't know you can kill me whatever you want you know i almost
died on the set of my name is earl on one of the thank you Earl. Thank you. In one of the episodes, my character did die.
And so I was supposed to be in a coffin.
And at the funeral, they were fucking around with me.
And it was supposed to be a party.
And my character, the dead guy, had a cigarette in his mouth that was lit.
So the joke was supposed to be they were going to open the casket,
and there was going to be a cigarette in my mouth lit. So they're was supposed to be they were going to open the casket and there was going to be a funeral cigarette in my mouth lit.
So they're closing the casket and the guy
goes, so we're going to close the casket, just
light the cigarette and
then when we open it, it'll be in. I go, okay.
And as we're closing the casket, I go, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I go, the inside of it's fireproof, right?
And he goes, what?
I go, the
inside of the coffin's fireproof, right? He goes, hold on
a second. The inside of the coffin's fireproof? You goes hold on a second the inside of the coffin's fireproof
you should probably get out of there
and I was like well
they hadn't checked to see if the inside of the coffin was fireproof
I would have lit that fucking thing up in there
well then they would have had to get someone to play Josh Wolfe
on the Josh Wolfe show for sure
for sure yeah
that Josh Wolfe show was not happening either way.
Exactly.
Speaking of things that I want to happen, Danny,
is Machete in space going to be a reality?
Robert Rodriguez is viciously writing right now as we speak.
Yeah?
Yeah.
That's great.
We're writing it you know whenever we get
it done I think he's doing stuff now out of New Mexico instead of Austin so okay
trying to put together change it up he's got a whole new studio thing in New
Mexico interesting we're doing from dusk to dawn you know the TV series yeah El Rey Network and I play who do I play? The regulator.
I forget something.
The regulator.
The regulator.
Yeah, I don't negotiate I regulate.
He pulls up
with a bumper sticker
that says that
on his bike.
This is a question
I like to ask all my guests
on every episode
just to see
what you guys like or what you're aware of.
What was the last movie that you watched that you're not in?
The last movie I watched?
Yeah, like on TV or in a movie theater.
Do you ever go out to a movie theater other than like premieres?
My movies.
Yeah.
Yeah. But know, yeah.
But you're not interested
in any other ones or?
Are they going to send me
a check for going?
The question is,
I feel like my life
is enriched by going.
I'm not a real movie buff
other than, you know,
I love making movies.
Sure.
And the last movie I seen was
called Hondo with John Wayne.
I love westerns and Hondo
was just on. Oh, okay.
I'll check that one
out. Yeah, it's a really good one. I like,
I love some of his
life is tough and if you're
stupid, it's tougher.
I was like, you're straight up.
Hey!
Sounds like he doesn't negotiate either.
I'll write you a job.
Yeah.
You goddamn tough guys.
Yeah.
With your words and your violence.
Who needs it?
Joe, what about you?
What have you seen lately?
Did you see The Lobster?
The...
No.
Oh, wait, I'm sorry.
I saw...
God, man, I just...
It was...
What was it?
It was the... what was it?
It was the, what is it?
You'll get there.
BFG, BFG.
Oh, the BFG, the new Spielberg giant movie.
My friendly giant, yeah, I just saw that.
By friendly giant, that's what those letters stand for?
BFG, my fucking giant.
I would go see it tonight.
The B-L-G-B-T?
Yeah, the LGBT giant.
Did you like that?
Yeah.
You know, we got a
obviously a big Spielberg fan here.
I liked to be entertained, and that was entertaining.
And then I have two stepkids.
One has autism, one has Asperger's.
And they loved it.
For them, it's like, it's got to be interesting.
It's got to keep them interested.
But they'll start calling me popcorn.
Yeah.
It was like really weird.
Sounds like they should try to get that on the poster in the ads.
Bring everyone with autism or Asperger's this is this movie's for you
The kid with they'll tell you stuff that they see in the movie that you didn't even see they watch it so intensely
Yeah, you're like there was a giant yeah
did you
Joe did you
is that kind of
where your
interest in actually
is eventually directing
did it start as early
as when you were
making Jurassic Park
did you ask a lot
of questions
yeah
your character in the movie
was crazy inquisitive
about everything
yeah
no Spielberg used to pull me out of school he had like when you're Yeah, it did. Your character in the movie was crazy inquisitive about everything. Yeah, exactly.
Spielberg used to pull me out of school.
When you're on set as a kid, you've got to go to school for three hours a day.
And so he has a studio teacher that he makes sure that doesn't follow the rules.
Everything's a field trip, you know what I mean?
Like, hey, I'm taking you on a field trip to set.
Yeah.
So you can work three more hours.
But he used to pull me out of set all the time
and show me the shots that he was setting up.
And he filmed the hurricane that we went through
and put it in the movie.
We were in this big hurricane, Hurricane Iniki, in Hawaii.
And so I saw a guy so insane about what he does
and loving it so much that he would film
an approaching hurricane.
I was like, that sounds like a job I want to do.
I'm not going to film a hurricane, but I am
going to maybe become a director someday.
And now you are.
And now I've done it. Yes!
I love that.
Boy, that scared me for a minute when you said
Spielberg used to pull me out of school.
I just...
Just don't worry about it.
Whoa.
I blocked a lot of it out.
I'm taking you to the principal
and that's me.
Did you answer the last movie
you saw question?
I didn't.
And now it's going to sound like
I'm really kissing this guy's butt.
Because you saw it too?
No,
last night I watched E.T. Last night. I literally it too? No, last night I watched E.T.
I literally, on Netflix at home, I watched E.T. with my brother.
How many times did you jerk off?
I love that movie.
Okay, wait, wait, wait.
I want to see how tough you are.
Sorry, I'm sorry about that.
Did you cry when he was going to die, when he was getting sick?
Not last night.
But like,
it is a little less sad, Danny,
when you know
how it's going to end.
It's a little different.
Yeah, the first time
I cried for sure.
Oh, yeah.
The first time,
everybody's a mess.
But once you've seen it,
you're pretty clear
that he's going to be okay.
Yeah, but I cheered
when they got on the bikes
at the end.
I was like,
I love you, Stevens. Are you listening?
Hi, Stevens. Joe was on.
Steven Spielberg listens to this. We can't get him to come on.
Because he just likes hearing it.
He doesn't need to see it in person.
Sends notes.
Pulls me out of school all the time.
All the time pulls you out of school.
Josh, what was the last movie you saw?
I was just thinking about my first hurricane experience
with Spielberg.
It was crazy.
You and I have such a similar life.
I know, it was really crazy.
We should be friends in real life, I think.
Spielberg, you did that giant...
You know what movie I saw?
What was the...
And I can't remember the name of it.
This is why I'm so bad at this game.
But it was a movie with James Corden
where he was in the woods?
It was like with Meryl Streep.
Into the Woods.
Was it called Into the Woods?
Into the Woods.
Yeah, that's what it was.
Yeah.
I saw that movie where they go into the woods.
Yeah.
The woods.
So you're saying it was called Into the Woods?
Yeah.
By the way, then it was very well named.
And I watched that the other night. Because they also sing it a million times. Into the woods. Into the woods. Oh, Grandma. By the way, then it was very well named. And I watched that the other night.
Because they also sing it a million times.
Into the Woods, Into the Woods, Into the Woods.
Shut up!
I actually liked the movie.
Yeah?
Yeah, you didn't like it?
Well, I don't like the music that much.
Spielberg did that giant movie.
He sure did.
Yeah, he did.
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah. Yeah.
Real movie buff.
It's true, yeah.
I'm glad we dragged you into this movie trivia contest that we're about to partake in.
I might actually win one.
about to partake in. I might actually win one.
How much did your publicist
tell you about this experience,
Mr. Trejo?
About this one?
Yeah.
Not enough.
No, wait.
Wait.
Wait.
You and me with this guy is really funny. Come on, sit down. Yeah, yeah. It's fun though, right? Awesome. You're going to be with this guy.
He's really funny.
Come on, sit down.
Yeah, yeah.
It's fun, though, right?
Awesome.
You're having a good time.
I'm having a good time.
Well, here's the thing.
People in the audience at these shows,
after my encouragement,
started bringing name tags
that are fashioned after
they generally have something to do with a movie or this podcast or just some narcissistic piece of crap.
But there's a lot of them in the crowd right now.
And the idea is you're going to pick the one you like and then bring it back to your seat with you.
And then you're going to play on behalf of that person today in the games we play.
And whichever one of you three guys wins,
the person you're playing for will get all these... Me too.
The prize bag.
Does that make sense?
Yeah.
Woo!
So...
Run that by me again.
What'd you say?
Okay, here we go.
I'll sit down.
It's going to take a minute.
I'm an ex-professional fighter, so...
Right?
You're a little concussed? Ring a bell. Did you just say ring a bell? Ring a minute. I'm an ex-professional fighter, so... Right, you're a little concussed.
Ring a bell.
Did you just say ring a bell?
Ring a bell.
That's hilarious.
Do we have a bell standing by?
I didn't mean to say that.
Okay, yeah.
Hey, and can someone turn up the heat in here?
I'm in a cool spot i don't know why you're so hot over there but yeah maybe you might want to disrobe a little bit people always yell out when
you take something off on stage um yeah just pick one pick which one of these you like for
whatever reason i don't know if anybody made one of any of your films.
Because guests are a surprise.
They didn't necessarily know you were going to be here.
But just, you know.
Do you like any of them?
All right.
Well, while Danny thinks about it, we're going to go to a brief commercial message.
We'll be right back.
Hey, you guys.
commercial message we'll be right back hey you guys just in case we missed some important details in our discussion of Danny Trejo's Indiegogo project let me
just lay it out for you right now Social Security is the name of the film
it'll be written and directed by Craig Moss who also directed Danny Trejo in
the trio of badass films from 20th Century Fox.
Not just films that were badass, actually called badass.
Trejo plays a version of himself in Social Security,
a man who protects a retirement home from a group of menacing jewelry thieves.
It's like Die Hard in a retirement home.
They're in the process of assembling additional actors to round out the cast,
initially conceived by the filmmakers for Trejo's 70th birthday,
and it's been in development with 20th Century Fox for a short time.
But you can go to Indiegogo and search Danny Trejo, T-R-E-J-O, for more info.
Prizes that could be received if you pledge to the Indiegogo include
lunch with Trejo on the set,
producer credits, a role in the movie,
a DVD, and tickets to the
world premiere. Other prizes
include one year supply from
Trejo's Tacos.
Trejo Tacos!
Also, one prize will be that
you can get punched in the face by Danny
in the film.
I wouldn't mind getting that.
They want to make this movie in the fall, but can't do it without your help.
Check it out on Indiegogo and also on Twitter at twitter.com slash social s movie or at
facebook.com slash social S movie.
All right.
Back to more fun with Danny Trejo and the rest.
We're back.
Danny is playing for Mel boy,
which is,
she took the hell boy poster and put her face on there.
And her name,
her name is Melissa.
Melinda.
All right.
Take it back.
No, it's Melinda.
So you're playing for Melinda.
So it's that simple.
Okay.
Who'd you pick, Joe?
Oh, look at what Joseph picked.
It felt like fate, so.
He's got Michelle E.T.
That was awesome.
Michelle E.T. Michelle, that was awesome. The Brian King.
Michelle E.T.
Michelle period,
T period.
It's like Mr. T.
And Josh is playing for,
I talked about it earlier,
the Doug Benson masterpiece,
The Brian King.
And oh,
and also Donald Trump is hanging out
On a rock
That was normally occupied by like a cheetah
Must be a Mexican
No, he's not
Yeah, by scar
Donald Trump and they're trying to keep the Mexican baby away from him
I like that analysis
I like that
That was some funny shit, homie.
Wait, you're the one who said it.
I did not expect Danny Trejo to LOL.
At his own joke.
Laugh out loud.
Lots of love.
Right?
Laugh out loud. It do you say when that one goes? That's... Lots of love. Right? Laugh out loud.
It can be lots of love.
How many times
do you think you've laughed
on screen
in the 316 student films
you've been in?
How many times I've laughed?
Yeah, how many times
do you play a character
that laughs about something?
And not laughing
because you're murdering someone.
Like, just laughing
because you're just enjoying
a nice story well told.
In a movie called Animal Factory, we're all in prison.
I remember going, ha, ha, ha.
That's some funny shit.
Yeah, that's as happy as you get.
Yeah, yeah.
You imagine if you were on stage and you had a whole audience of guys laughing like that?
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Oh. Can you imagine if you were on stage and you had a whole audience of guys laughing like that?
Alright, so we've picked the name tags, so we're good on that.
And now I'm just going to tell you about the games we're going to play.
And, you know, don't worry about it. It's no big deal.
If you don't know the answer. I think you could do pretty well this first one is called characters welcome
and I'm going to take names from the character list in a motion picture and read them out loud
and the first person that can guess the title of the motion picture I'm talking about...
Dicks Out for the Gorilla.
First of all, I think it's Dicks Out for Harambe.
Harambe.
And...
I'm sorry.
But I have seen Dicks Out for the Gorilla.
That's a great movie.
Sigourney Weaver
got an Oscar nomination,
I think.
Yeah, it was a really,
it was an indie,
indie, indie film,
but it was really good.
But that's so funny
that he saw
Put Your Hands Together
earlier this evening
and Brandon Wardell
was on talking about
hashtag
dicks out for Harambe
which he's trying
to get going
but he's not posted
his own dick
so it's hard
to get it going.
That was funny.
But he,
yeah,
you apparently love that.
So yeah,
anytime you can't
think of an answer tonight
just yell that out.
Harambe,
yay Harambe.
Okay.
Yay Harambe. Yay, Harambe. Okay. Yay, Harambe.
He shot him.
They did.
It was sad.
He shot the mom.
First, he has to live in Cincinnati,
and then he has to be shot.
I'm teasing Cincinnati.
I love Cincinnati.
All right, here we go.
These are character names
From a movie
Just say into your microphone
Guess as often as you like
Whenever you think you know
What movie this is
There's a character
In this movie named June
Benny and June
No
There's one named April
Months of the year
Months of the year of the movie
Yeah
There's a character named Rico
Rico Suave
Not that one, but yes
April, June, and Rico
Yeah, that'd be crazy if that were the title
And I just read those three off
How did you know?
That's like if the third name I said was Dupree
It would narrow it down considerably.
Is that like...
Sounds very Puerto Rican.
Kind of, yeah.
Rico.
There's a Nurse Fine in this movie.
Isn't that a Dr. Fine?
Nope, just Nurse Fine.
There's someone named...
It's not Into the Woods.
Not Into the woods
No nurses come to the aid of
Can I ask
Hey can I ask you a question
No I'm just gonna read more names
It becomes very evident eventually
Okay
Julio
Is another person in this movie
Vaughn
Is in there
Machete
That's correct
I thought you might be better at this than you think the minute he said April I wanted to
say but then I thought oh everybody's gonna think it's a joke yeah honest to
God I swear to God yeah yeah, you showed remarkable restraint there.
Sounds Puerto Rican.
That was good.
Doc Felix, Torres, Padre, Senator McLaughlin.
Yeah!
And then, of course, we would have gotten it for sure when I said Machete.
Senator McLaughlin.
Just to be honest, it would have taken for you to say Machete for me to guess.
Machete.
Which would have been, if I got that far and he didn't get it, that would have been really funny.
Robert De Niro. I know every movie, Robert De Niro. Wow, he was't get it. That would have been really funny. Robert De Niro. I know every
movie Robert De Niro was in. Wow. He was like
awesome.
It's unbelievable. When he joined
everybody joined.
The first time. Yeah. And then the cast
is amazing in the second one.
I'm looking forward to who you put in space.
You know how we got Lady Gaga?
I literally met her in a tattoo shop.
I was getting my back tattooed by Mark Mahoney at Shamrock Tattoo.
And good guy.
One person's into that.
Mark Mahoney's here, you guys. There's 30 people in this room.
Go ahead, check this out.
So I'm getting it.
And I come in and I say, hey, Mark, we're going to do machete kills.
And he goes, all right. And from right here
somebody says, God, I'd love to be in that.
I turn around, it's Lady Gaga
getting a tattoo.
And I thought, Gaga?
Gaga?
I always wondered why she was called that, but it's just
a natural response.
And she's a lady and I says really
so I just called Robert
hey I'm in a tattoo shop right now
with Lady Gaga
she wants to do
bachata too
we'll get a hold of her people
and the next day I knew she was like
Cass so that was knew she was like Cass.
So that was awesome.
She was bitching.
I wasn't getting a tattoo when I found out you were going to do this show.
That's why I don't tell that story.
I've got Lady Gaga's pots and pans that she used on the set.
I got them at home.
They're in a shop.
She brings her own pots and pans to set?
Who knew she was so domesticated, right?
I brought some pots and pans for everybody.
I'm gonna bake up some pumpkin seeds right here.
I'm gonna put some turmeric on it.
She cooks her own food.
Can you imagine Lady Gaga actually,
she's real health conscious.
So she does like a steamer, you know,
like that kind of shit.
All this stuff.
Does she throw a little garlic in there?
She cooks like her own food.
And so after she was done, I said, what do you do with those?
She says, well, just leave them.
So I got them at home.
I have a shelf that says Lady Gaga's Pots and Pants.
Did you wash them?
He screams at everyone, don't touch the gagas.
Yeah.
Hands off the gagas.
Yeah.
So I, but I did it.
Gaga.
Well, you did it.
You won the first game.
Okay.
By recognizing the characters in your own film.
So now we're going to play another game.
There's probably going to be three games total.
This game is called
Whose Tagline Is It Anyway?
And in this game...
One person loves that game.
Yeah, I think everyone's afraid to make any noise right now.
Yeah.
But in this game, I'm going to say...
Machete, don't text. Machete.
Wait, you did such a great job of impersonating me in the first part of that.
Everyone listening just thought it was business as usual.
But it's like that.
I'll say a tagline that was used on a poster or in an advertisement for a film.
What's the one on, is there one here on For Badass?
Like, what does it say at the bottom?
Oh, here we go.
They mess with the wrong senior citizen.
Right on.
This is a great example of one that I'll use on a future show.
Who knows what people will guess when you say that.
My first guess would be Cocoon.
Yeah, mine too.
Those are the only two movies,
Cocoon and Grumpy Old Men,
that have been made about senior citizens
in like the last, what, 20 years or 10 years?
Whenever Cocoon was.
It's not a big topic for movies, it's true.
Well, yeah, think about how many senior citizens
are going to go watch my movie.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Fortunately, they can see it at home, too.
These days.
So I'll say a line, you know, a tagline.
Like another example would be, in space, no one can hear you machete.
Which should be the tagline for machete in space.
And then a shot of you floating through space
and when you whip the knife out
it doesn't make the sound.
And it floats away.
Oh no!
Machete!
So you,
thank you for acting it out,
so you get to
go first in this game.
I'll say the tagline,
you just guess what movie it is.
You get one guess.
If you can't get it, Joe gets to guess, and then Josh.
And if none of you get it, then we're going to bring out a piñata.
You had to go there, didn't you?
I did.
Oh, yeah.
One Mexican here, and you got to say a piñata. Oh, there's got to be another Mexican here and you gotta say a pinata.
One.
Oh, there's gotta be
another Mexican here.
And he's shabby.
He's parked outside.
Yeah, he's working in the booth.
Oh, that's too far.
Okay, I just wanted to know.
A lot of great
Mexican sound technicians,
you guys.
Give it up.
All right.
What movie is this
the tagline for, Danny?
The Showdown is On.
That is from The Devil's Rejects.
Because it is The Shit is On.
Well, I said The Showdown is On.
I don't have to clean it up, but it's a podcast.
I could say The Shit is On.
This is The Showdown is On.
But that's a great guess.
Well, actually, then...
We're suing whoever movie that is.
Yeah, sue them
for sure.
Joe?
Showdown is on.
The showdown is on.
He's trying to help me
I appreciate that
I don't know
face off
could be
sure
it's a fairly generic
tagline
do you have a guess
Josh
dodgeball
a true underdog story
that's the one
yeah
or whatever it was
yeah
nope
that's the tagline
for the motion picture version of
From Dusk Till Dawn.
The showdown?
Is on. I'm gonna have to really
focus in. I feel like there's a
little bit that we're gonna have to really
focus in on movies that you've been in.
Let me pull up my IMDb.
He's disputing it.
It's IMDb lists taglines for movies
and there's like several.
There's probably a more memorable one
that you might know.
But this was one that was used somewhere.
This bar is for bikers and truckers only.
That's one.
Yeah, there you go.
That one would have given it away.
Yeah, that one would have been okay.
Part of my fun is sneaking this shit past you.
So let's try another one.
Do you know why I know you're not
going to do one
from a movie
I've been in
why
I haven't been in
any fucking movies
I'm pretty sure
okay Danny
what's this from
yeah
a weekend wasted
is never a wasted weekend
it sounds
too intellectual
for one of my movies.
Yeah.
That's pretty smart.
That's some Mensa shit right there.
I want to know.
Fury Road Scholar.
Any guesses at all?
Not a cocoon.
What was it again?
When in doubt,
I'll say it again
because it's Joe's turn.
A weekend wasted
is never a wasted weekend.
Ferris Bueller.
Best is the day.
That might be the sequel
to Ferris Bueller's weekend.
What?
The Hangover.
The Hangover is not
a terrible guess, but no.
It's not right, though. Josh weekend at bernie's i was gonna say that too yeah weekend of bernie's no um you
haven't been in any movies but your cousin scott wolf has yes and that's from a movie that he did
called go oh he's gonna be super happy that i got that one right. Wait, hold on, hold on.
He listens also, right?
How many people have seen Go?
A lot of people.
Let's get something a little more...
Oh, I see what you're saying.
Okay, this might be a little bit more popular.
We'll start with you again.
The vacation is over.
My dad?
It's not a quote.
Okay, 25.
The vacation is over!
You are really funny, old...
That's some funny shit.
It sucks that it's too late to put that on the book jacket. That's some funny shit. I won't. That's just funny.
It sucks that it's too late to put that on the book jacket.
You're really funny, Holmes.
Danny Trejo.
My check, Danny. I sold 2,000, 200,000 more copies.
When he yelled that, I almost turned around and said,
Oh, Dad!
Yeah.
It's very realistic.
Do you have a guess?
No.
No.
Joe?
That's from The River Wild.
That's the movie that you're in called The River Wild.
All right.
Thank God I got that.
Thank God.
Yeah.
I was getting so nervous.
Were you?
I don't know any of these taglines.
Well, because you knew he was going to come with a movie.
It had to happen.
It had to happen.
All right.
So now we're going to start with you, Josh.
Okay.
Joe's on the board. He's got a point.
Am I getting punished or what?
No, you're not getting punished.
But use your microphone voice, though, for sure.
Are we getting what he's saying
on the mic?
Hello?
It's just sometimes you hold it like over here.
It needs to be here.
Okay.
I wouldn't tell him
what to do.
I hate to direct him.
Yeah, I know.
It's not a good feeling.
Yeah.
Here's what I'm gonna
need you to do.
Josh's got the game.
I got it now.
Okay.
So Josh gets to go first.
All right.
What movie had the tagline
Taking the World by Farce?
By Farce?
No, I mean, yes.
I did not mispronounce force.
I'm trying to think.
Taking the World by Farce.
Do I go next?
You're after Josh, yeah.
I'm trying to think of the movie.
You're going to guess at it because he's not going to get it.
No fucking way.
Taking the World by Farce.
Jurassic Park.
I mean, you should at least name a comedy, I would think.
All right, Danny.
Is it Delta Farce? No!
That would be a great line
for that one. He said
that. What's his name? He said that in
Delta Farce. That was that
movie with Larry the Cable Guy and Billy and
Hello, Hello and Danny
Traynor. Yeah, yeah.
I think we all knew you were in it.
He suddenly knows a lot about a movie he had nothing to do with.
He's a real Delta Farce defender.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's got those action figures.
He's a Delta Farce apologist.
What do you think it is, Joe?
Do you have any idea?
I don't know.
Okay.
It's in a movie you're
in Danny called Muppets most wanted which you are amazing in by the way me
and Ray Lee singing and dancing oh much Mexican loose in London.
I stood at the gates at Buckingham Palace screaming,
Mom!
Mom Elizabeth!
Let me in!
Please!
Remember when you went to the United States?
Oh, God.
I almost got a break.
That was the reason for Brexit.
Yeah.
They were like, we can't do that again.
Brexit.
Now they're getting out of the union or something.
Yeah, they are.
They're getting out of the union or something.
All right, one last one.
Joe's winning this game.
Yes.
With one.
Wow, we're great.
He gets to start us off.
The tagline is simply, a Los Angeles crime saga.
LA Confidential? No.
It's a movie that Danny was in.
What's the say it again? Or Scott Wolf.
Oh yeah, oh yeah. Or Joseph Mazzone. Oh shit.
Say it again? Or I just did
something weird at the end.
A Los Angeles crime saga.
That's not a Scott Wolf movie.
That seems like something that might have done well in the theaters.
You sound confident that he does not listen.
You sound confident that he does not listen.
Do you ever work with Scott Wolf?
What? Scott Wolf? He's probably just looking around like, why do they keep Scott Wolf? What?
Scott Wolf.
He's probably just looking around like,
why do they keep saying Wolf?
Yeah.
Yeah, what the hell?
Where's the fucking Wolf?
Where's Wolf in London?
Nope.
Nice guys.
Oh, okay.
Good guess.
My other cousin was in that.
That's why I said it.
Oh, all right.
We got to have you back on
and discuss this other cousin.
I didn't know there was another cousin
that's in more movies than you are.
Yep, yep.
And there's a bunch of them.
All right.
Danny?
Badass.
Oh.
We just said what the thing says for badass.
I said a lot of things. Is it Chinatown yeah it's not like what spoken lines in
the movie necessarily oh yeah and that's how they advertise a film you're in
called heat an LA crime saga yeah okay thank you for 10 years ago whoever did that i really whoever did that came
up with that one probably got fired yeah because that movie's a lot more intense than just oh it's
a saga it's an episode of events that movie has got me out of more traffic tickets than
every time a cop stopped me hey you were that guy in heat. Wow. They did everything right according to the way we do it on the police force.
Here.
Here's your driver's license.
Thank you, officer.
Swear to God.
Everything was packed.
They just issue you a driver's license right there on the spot.
No.
They give me mine back.

After they tell me, all right, Mexican, get off the ground.
Hey, hey, stop kicking him.
He's fine. Stop kicking him. He's fine.
Get him back in the car.
Don't hurt him.
He's got a lot of heat.
Tell our publicers the last time we do this,
this is, my stomach hurts.
Machete doesn't have fun. My fun hurts. Machete doesn't have fun.
Machete hurts.
Machete.
Machete.
Machete.
That's what he's going to kill
in his next movie.
Fun.
Machete don't laugh.
Machete kills fun.
Oh, God.
Hey, all of you guys, go see
Social Security.
I'm sorry.
Wait, it's not...
They gotta help get it made first.
God.
Go see it eventually, you guys.
Are you saying that
because you might just jump up and leave?
Are you planning to run out of here?
My belly! there because you might just jump up and leave you planning to run out of here my belly
because we gotta play one more game if that's cool
it's one to one to nothing right now right the points don't count for anything really
it just means that joe
gets to go first in this next game okay and then you get to go second and then uh danny i like to
play along on this one uh but i can't win so if you come in second to me you're the winner
it's just just true you guys
It's just true, you guys.
The game is called Last Man Stanton.
I'm going to get the name of an actor or actress that works a lot in motion pictures
from an audience member.
And then we're going to take turns naming movies
that person was in.
If you can't think of one, you're out.
But you get one lifeline.
One time you can go to the person
whose name tag you chose.
So Melinda Boy can help you out once
if you need it.
You're Melinda Boy over there.
Yeah, yeah.
And Michelle E.T. can help out Joe once.
And Josh can get help from Brian King.
Okay, Melinda boy, be ready.
I hope you're not, like, peeing yourself right now.
Danny Trejo yelling at you.
You're not...
I didn't say that.
You didn't say it mean,
but you know what you sound like, right?
It's like Alec Baldwin trying to speak above a whisper.
It's just not going to happen.
It's just not going to happen.
All right, so there's a person in the audience tonight who reached out to me on Twitter saying,
I've got the perfect name for the game tonight.
And that person goes by Box Angeles.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's a fun name.
Why do you call yourself Box Angeles?
It's the name of my podcast.
You have a podcast called Box Angeles?
Yeah.
He's actually shooting it right now.
It's got to sound a lot like yours.
That would suck.
People just come in and record mine
and add their own intro
and hope that I talk to them at some point during the show.
And what's the Box Angeles podcast about?
It's just like origin stories, why people came to L.A.
Origin stories, why people came to L.A.
Did we all come from somewhere else other than L.A.?
Yep.
All right, tell me your origin story real quick.
Where'd you come from, Danny?
Pacoima.
I believe that's within L.A. County, sir.
Joe, where are you from originally?
I'm from Poughkeepsie, New York.
You are?
My mother used to work at the CIA up there.
Stop it.
Really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not the CIA, but the Culinary Institute.
That's what they call the CIA.
And so you came to L.A. before you started acting, though?
No, no, no, no.
Acted in New York?
I acted in New York.
I would go into the city and audition.
I came out to L.A.
I went to USC.
Oh, okay.
That's when I came out here.
But so you got Jurassic Park because you first auditioned in New York on tape or something?
I was offered Jurassic Park. Thank you very much. New York like on tape or something? I was offered
Jurassic Park.
Thank you very much.
Is that true?
Whoa.
When they made the offer
did they pull you
out of school
to tell you?
I auditioned for Hook.
Oh, there you go.
I screen tested for Hook.
Charlie Korsmo got the part.
I was with Robin Williams
and Dustin Hoffman.
Yeah.
I auditioned for Hook.
Dustin Hoffman thought
I made him look too mean
because I was too sweet looking
to this day.
Charlie Korsmo
is less sweet looking.
Yeah.
For sure.
So Stephen said to me,
don't worry, Joey,
I'll get you in a movie
this summer.
And I was Jurassic Park.
Whoa.
You know what?
You won.
You won on that one.
Yeah, you definitely won
on that one.
You definitely won that one.
Yeah.
There was no cameo
in Hook 2
for the guy who played that kid.
Don't tell people
from prison that you were too sweet.
I'm planning on not going to prison.
No, he just
feeds ones that happen to be sitting next to you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You want some chameleon for this last game?
I don't know about this last game.
It sounds dangerous.
I was joking.
I was joking.
I was joking.
It was a joke.
Honestly.
I was playing with the puppy.
Hey.
It don't matter whether you're pitching or catching.
It's all baseball.
What?
By the way, that's what his movie's about.
Oh, I thought that was the tagline from Bull Durham.
No, that's the tagline for Undrafted.
That's what his movie's about, right there.
That's going to be the logline in his movie.
All right, so, Box Angeles,
good luck with your podcast.
I'm from Massachusetts. Thanks for asking, Doug.
I appreciate you asking.
If you were like,
I'm going to go out to L.A.
and not be in movies.
Yep.
I'm going to go out there.
No, I'm not going to be in movies.
They're going to have a show
called The Josh Wolfe Show
and not put me in it.
All right.
I got to get you on a Doug Loves Movies out that way,
like in Boston sometime.
That'd be fun.
You can drop some local references and color.
What's your suggestion, Box Angeles?
Believe it or not, you don't do a lot of directors,
so I was gonna say...
Are you really just making a speech first?
Just say the fucking name.
I'm sitting next to Machete.
Steven Spielberg.
Steven Spielberg?
You've got to be out of your mind.
Did you just decide that?
I'm about to clean up.
Did you just decide that
when there's one obvious person here
who's memorized every title?
There's no beating this guy.
That was honestly my suggestion before.
Before you even got here?
Yes.
I agree to be on his podcast.
We have to go with it.
Wait.
After this one.
But in the case of Danny Trejo and Josh Wolfe, all they have to do is describe the movie.
But wait.
But wait.
But he's not an actor, Doug.
No, I know.
And that's why he said the big thing at the beginning.
He goes, normally you don't do directors, but I just really think this is the perfect time...
To change the entire game right now, I think.
He was actually in the third Austin Powers.
We've done... There you go.
Well, now you're...
Oh, for fuck's sake.
You could have saved that one.
Right.
I loved him in the Blues Brothers.
He's like, I was actually in his home movie,
so does that count, too?
He titled them all, too, so I have the titles for you.
All right, so now that those are out of the way,
I want to see, and it's movies directed by Steven Spielberg,
and also Duel doesn't count because it was a TV movie.
So let's just take turns and see how we do.
I start?
Joe gets to start, yeah.
E.T.
Chandler's an extraterrestrial.
Yeah.
See, I don't know the ones he's directed as opposed to executive produced.
Well, executive produced does not count, so good luck.
Because I don't have the time or energy to look up if the executive produced something or not.
We might remember in some instances,
but I'd rather not get into it.
Did he direct Schindler's List?
Yes.
Of course he did.
One Jew clapping.
Good for you.
It's important to start off with the comedies.
They're doing the musical next year. It's going to be a good time
Too soon for Holocaust jokes apparently
But I will say
His sort of big attempt at a comedy
I don't think he's done anything that else qualifies
As a full out and out comedy
Since 1941
Yeah it's been that long
That is his one comedy, I think.
I think so, but let's not get too deep into that
because it's Danny's turn.
Did he do a big friendly giant?
Yes, he did.
Joe?
Raiders of the Lost Ark.
That might help you there.
What do you mean full title?
Raiders of the Lost Ark?
Oh yeah, I think I know what you're saying, but...
That's not the full title?
It is in fact the full title,
but they're hinting at something else
that will come into play in a minute.
I purposely left that part out.
I'm trying to win.
You know what's crazy?
They're having a conversation
that I'm sure like 90% of you
know what the fuck they're talking about
and I'm like,
I don't even know.
I don't know.
You got another one though, right? He just said Raiders of the Lost Ark. I know,'t know. You got another one, though, right?
He just said Raiders of the Lost Ark.
I know.
I know there's a second one, but I don't remember.
I don't know if that's...
That's not Temple of Doom.
That's the second one.
Yeah.
You said we didn't have to have the title.
I did say if you could describe it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So whatever the second one is...
It's called Raiders of the Temple of Doom.
No, it's called Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
Temple of Doom.
Which some people retroactively think
the Raiders of the Lost Ark should be called
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark,
but that's just not true.
Temple of Doom.
That's right.
And then I'll go Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Perfect.
Is that the one with Sean Con Connery it is yeah junior
why are we tied up junior Danny are we working to like the intellectual stuff
now right yeah yeah it's super smart movies. Did he do Hook? Yeah.
We were just discussing
how Spielberg had him audition for
Hook and he didn't get it.
You didn't say Spielberg.
Never.
Okay. Alright.
Yosef? Okay, well let's
get Jurassic Park out of the way then. All right. Yosef? Okay, well, let's get Jurassic Park out of the way.
You dick.
You didn't want to do a student films?
I had to leave the Jurassic Parks for the rest of this. I'm trying to win for Michelle.
Yeah.
The film he made as a teenager or at film school, Amblin, does not count either.
Because I just said it.
Can you describe one?
No.
Go ahead.
Oh, here we go. Lifeline.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Stone.
Now repeat it back correctly Josh
it's like the telephone game
that one, Indiana Jones and the
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
you can't even take what he
just said and then just repeat it back
something about the skull
it's not on right
and it's a little loose
well yeah there were similar plots and it's a little loose.
Well, yeah, there were similar plots,
I guess, to Bledouin. There's a lighter involved.
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Yeah.
You did it.
Someone was trying to help me behind you
and I think they were trying to mime crystal meth
and I didn't get it.
They stripped down to their underwear and went and jumped
into an RV? They started
cleaning the floor with a toothbrush.
Breaking Bad, right?
You like that show?
Tortuga!
I didn't know what you were thinking about just now you're just trying to remember your
character name no he did didn't he do American Graffiti who Steven Spielberg no that's George
Lucas that was close it's not your turn anyway so it's cool okay sorry it's your turn yeah I'm gonna
go with the terminal the terminal oh Iinal. Oh, I got one!
Yeah, he's got one.
Danny, do you have another one, or do you want to use your lifeline?
Melissa?
Melboy!
Melinda, Melboy.
What do we got, babe?
Bridge of Spies.
Bridge of Spies, the very recent Bridge of Spies movie.
That was my lifeline.
The guy who won the Oscar for that, Mark Rylance, is the big fucking giant.
Is your husband here?
Do you have a husband, Mel Boy?
No.
Boyfriend?
He's going to take you to dinner.
You guys didn't even win.
That was cool.
What are you talking about?
She just got a right answer.
Oh, that's true, but you're going to be in trouble next time around
because you're not going to be able to go to her.
Think of Google something, hun.
No, but you can't...
Google something.
Just Google something.
Spielberg would be a good thing to Google.
Just that one word.
All right.
Joe.
Don't do it. I'm going to try to steal another one from you. Don't do it.
I'm going to try to steal another one from you.
Don't do it.
There's only one more.
I love this.
Jaws.
That wasn't it?
You didn't even know Jaws?
That wasn't it?
You know what's funny?
I was so confident coming to me,
but now I'm like,
I'm going to stand up and say this confidently
I'm going to get it fucking wrong.
Go ahead and try it.
Saving Private Ryan.
Yes.
I'll go with Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Hey this guy's done some good work.
Yeah right.
Close Encounters to the third kind.
The alien thing.

Yeah, okay. That's his reaction when you saw Delta Farce.
So you want to go with Munich?
She said Munich.
Yeah.
Okay, he's going with Munich.
But don't Google.
Just use your actual brain, if that's possible.
There was no phone.
