Doug hates candy wrappers screening baby sticky seeds with 50 as it pop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see, because Doug loves movies!
Hey, hey, hey everybody! My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies,
recording on Sunday, June 2nd, 2024.
I'm in Texas after four explosive shows in Dallas and Fort Worth at the Hyenas Comedy
Clubs.
And speaking of hyenas, my guests today make me laugh.
They are Doogie Horner, Karina Magyar, and Grant Rosenmeier.
Hello.
Yay. Hello. Hello.
Yeah. Yeah. Hello. Hello. Let's meet everybody individually and alphabetically by first name.
We've got the winner from the show we did on May 5th at Zanies in Rosemont,
Illinois, O'Hara Jason.
That's Karina Magyar. Hey, Karina.
Yay, I prefer the title Annihilator.
I think that's more accurate.
Yeah.
All right.
Let me just cross out winner and write in ANN.
Oh, I can't spell that.
So are you still feeling the high from that win, Annihilator?
Yeah, that's what the high is from.
Yes. I mean, you took down a professional wrestler.
For a second time.
I know I'm so proud.
Sorry, Colt Cabana, if you're listening.
But thanks for being here, there, where you are today.
I think we're in the same time zone.
I'm still in Texas and you're in Illinois.
Yeah, time zone buddies.
Our next guest is a frequent visitor to this show. It's been a minute talking before the
show. He was ready to tell us what the last movie he saw was. I told him the question
has changed, but so happy to welcome back Doogie Horner.
Happy New Year, Doogie.
Happy New Year, Doug.
It's great to be here on New Year's Eve.
We're like almost at the halfway of the year and I'm going to keep saying Happy New Year
whenever I have a guest on that I haven't spoken to yet this year.
Oh, I see.
I get it.
What's going on?
What's going on with you?
Have you been drawing any more books lately?
Yeah, I just finished drawing a middle grade comic book called The Adventures of Invisible
Boy.
Book one is out.
I just finished book two and I'm working on book three right now. You're always going at it with the drawing and I love your style and we will plug all that stuff
again at the end of the episode so people can go check it out.
And we've got a first time guest today that I'm very excited about. He can be seen in Come As You Are on Prime and Peacock now and the secret art
of human flight is coming out soon and his name is Grant Rosenmeier. Happy New Year, Grant.
Happy New Year, Doug. Thanks for having me.
So it's very nice to meet you and I get pitches from publicists and stuff about people to appear on the show and when your name came up, I got very excited.
And does this happen to you a lot? Do people lose their minds when they find out that you were young Ari Tenenbaum in the Royal Tenenbaums?
in the Royal Tenenbaums? Oh.
I was just at a party last weekend,
and it came up that I was in the Royal Tenenbaums,
and a guy just goes,
aw, and then he just pats my leg.
Like, a lot.
And I was just like,
I don't know what to make of this,
because it's just sort of like,
what does that mean exactly?
Like, does that mean, oh, you were so cute, or, oh, it must have been a hard life, or I just didn sort of like, what does that mean exactly? Like, does that mean, oh, you were so cute
or, oh, it must've been a hard life
or I just didn't, like, I don't know what to make of that.
I mean, it just feels like he either feels bad for you
or affectionate towards you, but yeah, either way.
He did leave it there for a while,
so I don't know, maybe it was a good thing.
He was saying, I'm sorry,
it must've been hard having Gene Hackman for a dad.
I feel bad for you.
Granddad, right?
Granddad, Pappy.
Ben Stiller for a dad.
But I liked, I didn't get a chance to tell Doogie beforehand that you were going to
be on. So I liked the audible gasp when I said that you were one of my kids. That was so good. I played it so well. Nice to meet you both. the garbage truck like did you have any kind of extra strap on or anything or did you just say let's just go for it an extra what
We you know, I mean did you have like a safety belt or something? Yes, they did they I did
Yeah, no that see that was the that that was the easy one the one where I didn't have a ton of protection was when we
Were jaywalking?
Across the street. You remember the part where where me Jean and the other kid are
across the street, you remember the part where me, Gene and the other kid are running across traffic?
And the way that they had designed the shot,
it was supposed to be Gene in the middle
and then me and my brother on either side of them,
which would mean that the traffic would,
if anything happened, would take out one of the kids first.
And Gene, to his credit, was like, absolutely not.
I'm gonna be at the traffic and the kids are going to be on the other
side of me. And on take, I think two or three, a van actually did hit Gene and he sort of
jumped up onto it. He was even, he was spry. He was like 60 something years old and he
was pretty spry and he jumped up onto the front. And I just remember everybody just
obviously like, but you know, he, um,
and then he took one look at Wes and was like, we're done. We got it. They're like, yeah,
we got it.
I mean, that's, that's just total Royal Tenenbaum behavior. You know, like just, uh, he, uh,
like, you know, he's riding around with the kids in those crazy little go-karts. Oh, yeah. You know, I just love that that character in that performance.
And, you know, I've just heard stories over the years about Gene Hackman
being a little, you know, kind of a cranky dude or just not a super happy guy.
But it feels like he was very
paternal with you and your brother.
No, he was. He actually loved my mom. I don't know what it was. Maybe he just, maybe she
reminded him of his daughter or something, but he was very sweet to her. He is sort of,
at that point, it was the second to last movie, his last movie being
Welcome to Mooseport.
Welcome to Mooseport.
It is the, when is the Oh, Karina's good. Look out. Welcome to Mooseport. Mooseport. It is the when is the.
Oh, Karina's good. Look out.
The end on that movie.
She's the annihilator. Yeah.
And it was sort of he just couldn't really be bothered anymore.
And Wes really wanted him to be in the movie and he didn't really want to do it.
And then so when he did show up, he was very standoffish.
But my mom was great because she left him alone.
And as a result of that, he would always find her
and sort of sit next to her and start reading a book.
And he'd be very, every day at crafty or at lunch,
he would come by and he would make sure
he was next to her in line.
He would do this thing where he would serve her food.
He would just be in front of her and hand her a plate.
And then he would dish her food to be like,
you want some scalloped potatoes?
You want some that?
So it was, she actually had probably the best
set experience of anyone.
Yeah, it's too bad.
She's not the one out there talking about him.
Instead, Ben Stiller just sounds like
he did not have a good time with him.
Well.
But that also mirrors their relationship in the movie, though.
So it just worked. Right. Exactly.
All right. So before we play some trivia games today,
I want to talk about your personal favorites.
I'd like each one of you to recommend a movie, please.
And we'll start with Karina what's your latest
recommendation? My juiciest recommendations just got used up but I
did see American fiction last night which is on Amazon Prime took me a while
to get to it if you didn't get a chance to see it when it was in theaters it's
worthwhile it's a very good movie. And Jeffrey Wright is my boo.
And I absolutely recommend it,
especially if you're in the mood for something that feels like it was made
by a joint committee of NPR, the New Yorker and the New York Times.
I mean, it's it's definitely for that kind of tone, but it's great.
It's a lot of fun.
I mean, it's it's definitely for that kind of tone, but it's great. It's a lot of fun
Yeah, I've you know been pretty
Excited to see it, you know since it came out, but I still I just haven't gotten around to it So that's definitely on my
my personal watch list and that always helps me gives me that extra lights that fire under me when one of my guests
You know brings up a movie. I haven't gotten around to me gives me that extra lights that fire under me when one of my guests you know
brings up a movie I haven't gotten around to. Doogie what do you what you
know could be old could be new I like if it's available somewhere for people to
see sometimes people recommend something that's like you know unavailable but I
didn't know anything I know you didn't do any research necessarily, but what would you like to recommend today?
I guess I'll go with what we watched last night.
I've watched it a hundred times.
It's one of my favorite movies, Mouse Hunt.
Mouse Hunt!
Mouse Hunt.
Gore Verbinski directed it.
It might even be his first movie.
I'm not sure.
Yeah, The Visionary. It might even be his first movie. I'm not sure. The visionary. That's what they call him in trailers for his movies.
Yeah, nobody turns a Disney ride into a movie like him.
So, Mouse Hunt, that is such an interesting... Why are you so fond of it? Like, what's the appeal?
There's lots of different things. It's just way better
Than it needs to be and it's got this very strange tone. So it's like a slapstick comedy
But then it also kind of exists in this
world
Like different rules, it's just this got this weird vibe. It's really funny great performances
Nathan Lane is
really good. And then his brother is played by, I forget his name, he's a British comic that's
really famous for doing stand-up. It's about these two brothers and their dad dies, leaving them a
string factory and this big old dilapidated mansion and they discover that the mansion is worth a ton of money.
And so they're trying to renovate it and sell it for lots of money, but the only problem is there's a mouse in the house that causes all this trouble.
And so I think it's, well not think, it's clearly made for kids, but then Gore Verbinski just takes this weird dark tone with it.
Christopher Walken's in it as a mouse exterminator and it's just... and or Babe Two, one of these movies that's feels like it was shot or Night of the Hunter that feels like it was shot on this giant set.
And anyway, you're getting me psyched about Mouse Hunt. So is the mouse, does the mouse like know what it's doing or is it just an innocent mouse is just trying to live its life and they're trying to catch it. It knows what it's doing, but it's not anthropomorphized
to the level of Stuart Little.
Right.
Like he doesn't wear clothing, it doesn't talk.
But it's clearly smarter than your average mouse.
Yeah, the mouse is fucking with them.
Yes, it's intentional.
He's trying to ruin their lives.
Yes, it's intentional.
He's trying to ruin their lives.
I just realized that Nathan Lane is in Mouse Hunt and then like a year or two later was in Stuart Little where he was the voice of the cat after the mouse.
Whoa.
Trippy.
All right, Last Man Stanton, Nathan Lane movies that also have mice in them. We got to the arena return
Cage joke in here somewhere. Yes
Yeah, I'm sure there's a mouse somewhere in only murders in the building. Oh, yeah, Martin short. Oh, okay
Martin related to Stuart Little.
Yes, very.
Well, that's an interesting pick there.
I really, now I'm curious to see it.
I've been a long time Nathan Lane fan,
and lately he's just been,
he's been showing up in the most interesting things.
He's hilarious in Dicks the Musical.
If you haven't seen that, it's so funny and he's so funny in it. Um,
he's this guy who just has like in a cage these two little creatures that he calls the Sewer Boys.
He's just weird little monster men that he just has as pets and
monster men that he just has his pets and
The scene where he feeds them is like one of the funniest things I saw
In the you know last couple years
All right, so anyway
Let's go. Let's move on to grant and
Would would you please recommend a movie grant? Can I recommend two?
You know because I'm so excited that you're here. Yes
All right, I'm gonna do I got two movies and I'm gonna plug them because my friends made them. There's okay
Molly and Max in the future
Directed by Mike Litwack and
it's with Aristotle Atari and Zosha Mamet.
And it's basically when Harry met Sally in the future and it was shot on like no money
and on those screens. I can't remember what those the volume like those those LED screens
and they had to build everything in miniatures. It's so smart. It's so well written.
It feels like Michael does a lot of cartoons,
like sort of New Yorker style cartoons.
So all of his stuff is very smart and well-observed.
The chemistry between the two of them is great.
So I'm going to plug that one.
And the other one I'm going to plug is my other friend Mike Cheslik made this movie hundreds of beavers.
Oh, hey, I've heard of that one. I want to see it so bad.
Just go do yourself a favor. Like I've seen it twice now. And I've cried laughing both times.
I'm going to say no, it's it's a live action Looney Tunes sketch. Basically,
I don't want to say anything else.
It is. I've never seen anything like it.
It has been, you know, I have three guests per show and they each recommend one movie generally.
And it's already come up in previous episodes.
Other people have mentioned it.
So it's definitely on my list.
I've seen how it looks.
It's got such an unusual look.
And so, you know, I gotta see it and, you know,
decide for myself.
But so that film, you,
so you know the person who made that movie.
Yes, Mike and I grew up, well, sort of grew up together.
We went to film school together
and we've made two or three things together. And then he just told me, hey, I'm going to Wisconsin.
We have maybe a hundred, 150 grand to go make this movie. We're buying these Beaver
costumes on Amazon. And I'm like, hey man, good luck to you, you know, dead of winter,
Wisconsin, you know, do your best. And now it's sort of blown up and just goes to show you, you never know.
But he's so talented and I can't wait to see what he does next.
Because do you think it'll be like the same sort of style or you think he'll do it's,
you know, something different?
I sort of know what he's doing and I'm not at liberty to disclose such information.
All I can tell you is it will be probably as funny,
if not funnier, and it will cost more. So it will look even better. No, he's incredible.
Is it Mouse Hunt 2?
Doogie!
You can't say, dude. Don't say anything.
Don't do that. Yeah, don't do that to him.
Mouse Hunt 2 is not a bad idea, by the way. I I'm personally triggered by mouse hunt because it was always on at my dentist's
office or not always, but I just have these distinct memories of getting cavities
drilled while mouse hunt was on.
Yeah, that must be that's a that's a lifetime trigger you got there because
but it's such a good movie. It's so unfortunate.
So I guess they're, they play children's movies
at your dentist, is that the idea?
This was a pediatric dentist.
Yeah.
I still go to her because, you know,
loyalty and fear of change.
New dentists are, it's a real risky move
because they all really, some of them are so rogue
in their approach, you know,
that like, I hate the idea of getting a new one.
If you have a good one, let me know in LA. I don't have one in LA. I just wait until
I'm back where I grew up.
Wait till you're out of the country. I wanted to mention, since we talked so much about Mouse Hunt, a movie popped into my head during that discussion.
Kind of the opposite version of, you know, it's not a comedy and it's downright scary
and disturbing.
There's a movie from the 80s called Of Unknown Origin, and it stars Peter Weller, who, you
know, shortly after that went on to be Robocop, but it's just a guy in his home has a rat
and wants to get rid of it.
And the just insane measures that he goes to trying to get this rat in his home is really
It's it's wild
This is I was I haven't seen it forever, but I'm thinking I'm thinking that fun double bill, you know
of unknown origin and mouse on and maybe even
alternate reels between the two movies like watch a few minutes of one and a few minutes of the other go back and forth and
You'll forget it's supposed to be a dark comedy, but I haven't seen it a long time when I saw it
It was just a serious movie about a guy
Ruining his own apartment to try to catch a rat
It's just war with this rat it's amazing
But thank you for all he did watch those movies back to back
and you sort of lay them over each other
and actually do realize that they're the same movie?
Like the, I can't remember who did it,
but somebody did a video
and they examined the structure of Barbie and Black Panther
and they lined up exactly.
They both, both people who wrote those
went to the same screenwriting, uh, read the same
screenwriting book or something.
I've noticed a lot of similarities between Spaceballs and Star Wars.
And I've wondered if Star Wars is like a parody, like a serious version of Spaceballs because
there's a lot of Pizza the Hut, Jabba the Hut, stuff like that. Right. There's a, you know, a filmmaker may put
together a version of The Shining where it's playing forwards and backwards at the same time
and there's just, it's, you know, it's from the back of the movie to the front, from the front
to the back and but like there's all these weird parallels and things that happen
throughout
that you know a lot of it is just people like just love to
Pile on lots of conspiracy theories about the movie because you know Stanley Kubrick was
you know
kind of weird and
Yeah, well, you know, people are insisting, oh, he's got a nod to the fact that he faked the mood landing in the movie because Danny is wearing a sweatshirt at one point that has a rocket on it.
Like, it even says USA maybe.
But anyway, thanks for those recommendations.
We got some games to play.
So we're going to do that after these words.
We are back and I'm very excited for our games today because, well, I just am.
No reasons.
Yeah, I don't want to spoil anything, but the first game we're gonna play today is called
Long Walk Off a Short Piers and in this game I will name a movie
and you will tell me if that movie features actor Piers Brosnan or tabloid journalist Piers Morgan
or neither. I don't believe they've ever appeared in a film together Neither.
I don't believe they've ever appeared in a film together, but they both have been in movies.
So, Karina gets the first shot.
If Karina misses, since there's three options,
then Doogie can choose between the other two.
If he misses, Grant's gonna get the gimme point,
just for being the person who can just say the
Remaining answer that ends up being correct and each time somebody gets one, right? We'll start with the next person on
the next one and
Yeah, I'll start with you Karina you ready I'm ready I've never gotten a single point in one of these games, so I'm excited.
Wait, but you wait. But you win, though.
You've won overall.
I know it's it's a handicap, but I enjoy.
I enjoy teasing the others like a mouse, you know, or a beaver.
All right.
OK, so this first movie, does it have Pierce Brosnan in it or appears more again or neither
flight starring Denzel Washington?
That is a very good movie that I absolutely actually have seen, and it won't have Pierce
Brosnan in it.
But I am trying to think if they ever watched bad television in it
During the person I'm gonna go neither. I'm gonna say neither
You're going neither on this one. Well, I'm sorry to say that that is incorrect
But doogie there is like, you know a lot of
Sounds like if you go along with what Karina said, there was some interesting narrowing
down of the possibilities, but what do you think it is?
Karina, you're maintaining your streak of no points in this game.
I think your logic was sound.
I bet you they did watch some, I feel like there were lots of scenes of them watching
TV like news and stuff.
And so I bet you Piers Morgan was in it. I bet you he even like is seen on camera like, you know, talking shit about Denzel Washington
flying drunk or something, you know.
But yes, he indeed is in the movie flight.
So Doogie, you're on the board.
You got one point.
I don't have my I'm on the road.
So I forgot to bring my sound effects with me.
So there's no there's no noises for a correct or incorrect answer. the Pierce Brosnan Pierce Morgan or neither Eurovision song contest the story of fire saga
Pierce Brosnan
Is in that movie you see ya?
Well, aren't you clever watching the movie remembering the movie you're on the board with one point that is correct
That movie has pierced
I you know saw that movie when it came out and
it kind of sparked my interest in the Eurovision. I've watched the real Eurovision and
it's kind of wild how they capture that in that extremely silly movie. But. Let's move on to our next round,
Karina, this is your chance to tie it up.
Spice World.
Spice World. Yeah.
OK. Spice where I did not watch Spice World because I lived it.
I was one of the Spice Girls. No. So I don't know.
I'm just going to be shooting in the dark here.
I think Pierce Brosnan might have been in that like it's a smarmy manager type.
If he wasn't, he should have been.
Yeah, it's really like you are actively trying to not get points because that is incorrect.
Doogie, what do you think?
It's so funny because once again, I agree with Karina. Piers Brosnan would be perfect in that movie as like the manager, the bus pulls up and he's like, what is going on here? You girls are
spicy. He would have been perfect, should perfect should have been. That's way too early
for one I guess it's not too early. I'm gonna say neither of
them were in it.
That is correct. You figured it out. That's true. And yeah, I
just at that movie has lots of little random cameos in it. So
that's why I thought of it. Because, you know,
either peers could have been, could have been in it, but they are not. Grant,
you're up first on this one. Entourage the movie.
Here's Morgan, isn't it?
That is correct. No, no, you didn't talk us through it or anything. You just blurted out the correct answer.
Yes. Great job.
Karina, if you don't get this one,
it's it'll just be another one you didn't get.
No big deal. OK.
We're going to say we're kicking off the show and I'll never see you again.
OK, I'll get this one.
Place the trap door underneath you.
OK.
Pierce Morgan, Pierce Brosnan or neither.
The ugly bug ball.
So it seems like just blurting it out is luckier than talking through it.
OK. But I think I just talked through it, didn't I?
Shoot. Kind of. Yeah. Uh, what is it? The ugly bugling? What's it called? Okay, but I think I just talked through it didn't I shoot kind of yeah
What is it the ugly bugling? What's it called?
I mean, that's definitely a Piers Brosnan film
What do you think, Dougie? I don't know why it's so funny when Karina gets them wrong.
Yeah, I've got no clue either.
I've never heard of the ugly bugling.
I guess neither of them were in it.
That is correct.
It was neither.
Nailed it.
And it's not even a movie.
It's just a tie.
It's my title that I use in these games all the time because it just it just makes me laugh.
I wish there was something called the ugly bug ball.
It's a song.
They did.
There's a song in a movie, old Disney movie.
Burl Ive sings a song about the ugly bug ball and how ugly all the bugs are,
but they still have a dance.
about the ugly bug ball and how ugly all the bugs are but they still have a dance.
I'm predicting that in the remake of that movie since burlives has deceased
Piers Brosnan will sing that song that's what I'm going to say.
That would really turn out great. And then you will retroactively give me a point.
Yeah I you know I'm always having to go back and give people Points after the fact it's it's hard to keep up with but I try. All right grant. This is your chance to tie it up
Here's Morgan
Here's Bronson or neither
the campaign starring Will Ferrell and
Buddy of the show Zach Galifianakis
buddy of the show, Zach Galifianakis.
See, that's tough because that's a news.
It's got a lot of news. It's political.
But Piers Morgan is a Brit.
I'm overthinking it already.
I'm going to go with neither.
But that is that is incorrect.
Thanks so much for having me, everybody.
Take care.
Karina, Karina, it's been narrowed down to two options like you have.
You've had to pick from three every time, I think.
So yes, with just two choices, maybe you can do this.
All right.
So I think Grant's reasoning was so sound that I have my guess.
But what I'm going to do instead is flip a coin and I'm going to say Piers Morgan.
That is correct.
Morgan, I mean, Grant, your reasoning was good
because like it does, it's a campaign, a political campaign in the South.
America like why?
The white Morgan, he's such a whore for movies.
He'll be in any.
Yeah. And he's always butting in with his
opinions about, you know, things in the US, you know, I guess he's visited here. So it's
probably been in more movies than Wolf Blitzer. Probably. All right. So it's official. Doogie
won this game. But you know, it's not the
It doesn't really matter at this point. It's only
Beneficial to doogie in the sense that he gets to go first in this next game and he also gets to
Go first if we do have a tie in this game that we need to settle So that's that's all we won for winning the first game. So that's also it feels it's it's still everybody's it's still
anybody can win and
We're going to settle this thing after one more break. We'll be right back
We are back and we're gonna play a game that I enjoy a great deal and I'll let talk about
Mises and Mises that we went through earlier in the show. Well, you'll see in a second. Since Doogie won that game, that last game,
he gets to go first in this one and then we'll go to Karina and then to Grant. And the game is called The Little Search Engine That Could.
How this game works is I type a word
into the search engine on IMDB.
And then in this particular case,
I wrote the top nine titles that came up,
which is based on their algorithm of popularity.
So this is the top nine movies with this word in the title as of today.
You'll each get three guesses and the word today, in honor of the bear returning for a new season,
I know it's a TV show, not a movie, but I love it. I typed in the word, the, I'm kidding.
I typed in the word bear.
The word is bear.
So start thinking about movies that have the word bear in the title.
And what will happen is Doogie will say one first and I'll tell you if it made the top
nine and how many points you get for it if it did. And then, and then
Karina and then Grant and then we do, we'll go through that three times. So you'll ultimately
each get three guesses. So think of as many movies as you can with the word bear in it.
And obviously some might not be coming to you, but maybe when you hear some of the others,
it might, you know, spark something. But the number, when you hear some of the others, it might spark something.
But if you get the number one movie, it's worth nine points,
and the number nine movie is worth one point,
and then there's all those points in between.
And I know it's not a mouse,
but as soon as we were talking so much about a mouse,
I got excited that we're going to play a game about bears.
So, Doogie, you're up first.
What movie comes to mind for you?
What do you think's a popular movie today that has the word bear in it?
I don't know if it's a popular movie today, but it's a pretty iconic and it's
been remade the bad news bears.
That is number five on the list from 1976.
And it's worth five points for Dugase.
Congratulations.
I love that movie.
I'm not a huge fan of the,
I don't think it should have been remade at all,
but it's so funny that, you know, like
in the first movie, Walter Mathau, you know, he's kind of a derelict and he, like, he like
lets the kids drink beer at one point and just, you know, just does a lot of, a lot
of things that are probably not something you should be doing with kids.
And then they remade it with Billy Bob Thornton and their idea of, oh, crazy, this coach is crazy.
He takes the team to Hooters.
And it's like, I've been to Hooters,
the teams, kids go there all the time.
It's not like the craziest thing to take kids to Hooters.
He's like letting them drink soda with corn syrup in it.
I was like, corn syrup, corn syrup.
Okay, so anyway, let's move on to Karina. You're next.
Doogie's got five points already.
So what do you think?
You come up with one that's in the top four.
You might not want to answer this question, but are all the titles just the word bear by itself?
Or does bear appear as part of a word in some?
I'm glad you asked that because that could certainly be an element of the game
but no like unbearable lightness of being is
Not on the list it's all with the exception. I think of the bad news bears
I dare say that every one of these movies is
Does in fact feature a bear or more more than?
does in fact feature a bear or more more than more bears than you can shake a stick at an unknown quantity of bears yeah hundreds of bears that's not my
guess okay um hundreds of bearers I I don't think this is gonna score me a lot
of points but I feel like it's gonna be on I'm going to go with Disney's Brother Bear. Brother Bear is number six on the list.
So you're just behind you with four points, but that's a tremendous start.
And have you seen that movie?
Yeah, it's brave for boys.
I did. I watched it with my kids. Yeah.
People turn into animals.
Brave wasn't for boys.
No, there's a girl in it.
Why would a boy watch that?
Come on. Think like Hollywood.
But there were there were bears in Braves, though, right?
Yes. Yeah.
OK, so that should have gotten the boys.
But yeah, I guess I guess that it was a girl bear.
It was her mom.
Yeah, right. Oh, I see. I now a girl bear. It was her mom. Yeah, right.
Oh, I see.
I now I get it.
Okay.
I haven't seen that one in a minute, but spoilers for brave.
Sorry.
Grant, have you thought of a bear movie?
I was going to go with Brother Bear, but I was going to be like I was shot.
What number was it?
It was number six. Number six out of the top nine. Yeah. with Brother Bear, but I was gonna be like, I was shot. What number was it?
It was number six. Number six. Six out of the top nine, yeah.
All right, where's Cocaine Bear in that?
Is that your official guess?
That's my guess.
Okay, that is number four currently,
and it's worth six points, so you just took the lead.
Yes.
And I gotta say, you know, the concept of Cocaine Bear was fun,
but I thought that any people that were saying it was amazing or great
or whatever, when I saw it, I was disappointed by it.
But certainly certainly a fun premise, that's for sure.
I don't think it was good. It was oh, no. Was that really his last movie? that's for sure that's
that was
that really was last movie
I think so
he had like 6 things in the can when he died so I don't think it's officially his last movie but
but close to it
and yeah it's got a tremendous cast
I mean everything about it seemed really good on paper
and then lots of people
went and saw it had a great time so I say good for them because I didn't get it. I didn't
find it as fun as people were making it out to be. But I take it all back if anyone involved wanted
to work with me. Okay, so. All right, so we're back to Doogie. This is your second guess.
Alright, so we're back to Doogie. This is your second guess. Have you thought of any more movies with bear in it?
I own it on VHS. It is a semi-documentary featuring a live bear where they just follow
this bear around. It's called The Bear.
Well, you know what? I'm sorry to say that movie is number one on the.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. I was so scared.
Yeah, from 1988.
And that is a really, really interesting movie.
I remember seeing it when it came out and they really do just like follow a bear around.
I mean, there's sometimes I'm like, can you just help the bear instead of filming the bear?
But for the most part, it's stuck in a bear around. I mean there's sometimes where I'm like can you just help the bear instead of filming the bear but for the most part his head's stuck in a honey pot. That's a different
bear. Get him out of there. All right so Doogie's really he's got a lot of points on the board but
it's not this isn't an insurmountable lead. You know it may feel like it's like that's the case, but there's still some some big points
out there. So, Karina, what's your next guess? Ah, this is in honor of the late great TJ Miller.
But we were I ran into him one time after he was just finished with his smashing star turn in Yogi Bear
Yeah
Yogi Bear
Squeaked in there. It's number nine on the way
That's worth another point. So that's you know points are good and I'm happy that all of your choices
everybody's choices so far have been on the
list that's usually not how this game goes but we're back to you Grant
still the number two number three they're both available now either one of those would really
get you in a nice position okay I'm I'm trying to, I'm blanking on the,
the Werner Herzog documentary.
What the heck was that called?
I think I'm out.
I think I'm out.
I got about- Oh, really?
I think so.
Well, let me just say this.
Little Bear, Little Bear.
There was an animated show, Little Bear. There was an animated show Little Bear.
Is that on here?
I want to talk about the other movie first because it's funny that that came to you,
but it's not on the list because it's called Grizzly Man.
Yeah.
Damn.
Okay.
But they should have called it the Grizzly Bear Man.
You know, but the bear I guess is just implied
But you once you've said grizzly
That's another animal we call grizzly, right?
That's a grizzly mouse you've got there
The most dangerous of the mice play dead if you see them
You know also a grant a thing that I'm always pointing out to the guests is you you know
You don't necessarily have to know the movie.
You could just guess a title that might be on.
There might be a movie called that because of the word bear.
See, that's an excellent example.
But no, that's not.
I don't know if that's a movie or not,
but it's definitely not on the list.
But keep thinking about this because we're going to come back to you
one more time, Doogie.
Have you thought of another one?
Are you going to make this even more of a runaway?
I hope so.
Plan of the cave, plan of the cave bear. Oh, good.
Oh, my goodness.
I am surprised and delighted that anyone said that because I was shocked
to see that it's number two on the list.
Wow.
Yeah.
Biggie, I am sorry. That movie is number two.
Yeah. Have you, do you remember seeing that movie?
I've never seen it. I've heard a lot about it. the. Have you do you remember
seeing that movie? I've never
seen it. I've heard a lot about
it. Darryl Hannah. and uh
she's got like uh you know like
uh jungle war paint on or
something and uh I don't even
know. I couldn't even tell you
if there's how many bears make an appearance. Um cuz it's more like the clan is named after, you know, the clan is named after a cave bear,
but I don't know how old the cave bear is.
But saw that shit a long time ago.
But another eight points makes it is in fact now insurmountable lead.
But let's still play this out.
Karina, did you think of another one?
Yeah, I'm going to go out of limb on this one,
but I feel like these kind of things do show up in there.
The Bad News Bears 2.
If it was in there, I'd insist on the official title.
The Bad News Bears go to Japan, I think. That the the official title. The bad news bears go to Japan, I think.
That's the third one.
Oh, the second one is bad news bears in breaking training.
Breaking training. Yeah.
Whatever that that's possible.
Yeah.
That's how big of a bad news bears fan I was as a kid that I really went on the full ride.
I've seen every bad news bears thing including the brief television series but I'm sorry
Karina that is not gonna get you any any more points but a very respectable five
points in this game one point in the previous game no more talk about you not getting any points. Okay. Grant.
Yes.
One more shot.
I just thought of one and it was everything I took to not scream in the middle of Doogie's
turn but I don't know.
Brigsby Bear, a much better movie than Cocaine Bear.
Brigsby Bear is really fun.
I like that movie.
Is it on the list?
It is on the list. It's number eight.
Yeah. You get two more points. So you officially came in second place and Doogie is officially our
winner today. But let me tell you what y'all missed out on. I do one more guess. Yeah, me too.
What y'all missed out on I?
Do one more guess yeah me too. What's that?
Can I do one more guess you can for fun sure it's so there's the movie
No, no no cameras movie what about sad Jack the bear
No, but that's an interesting movie. It's also my favorite Harvey Danger song nerd
That's a you're such a flagpole sitter
Let's see here number seven
Because we had Yogi Bear brings me there number seven is from 2010 and it's just called bear It's just the word bear bear and I not even sure what that movie is or what what happens in it, but just bear.
Then at then we had Brother Bear, Bad News Bears, Cocaine Bear, and number three from
1984 starring Gary Busey as coach Bear Bryant. Oh, Bear. So there was two The Bears.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
I don't know why that's so high up on the list today.
I can only assume it's because somebody saw a video
of Gary Busey acting weird and then looked him up on IMDB.
But again, congratulations to Doogie Horner.
You are a winner today.
So that means that you get to do your promotional stuff
first, what would you like to plug?
I guess check out my comedy special on YouTube.
It's called Dad Max. So if you just Google Dad
Max or Doogie Horner, Dad Max, it'll come up. Check that out on YouTube or you can listen to it
on all the streamers. And if you have kids, I have a middle grade comic book out called
The Adventures of Invisible Boy. That's a fun middle grade comic about a little kid that gets
turned invisible and trying to make friends at a new school and hijinks and all that.
And yeah, that's about it. Right on. We will have you back at your earliest and our earliest
convenience because that's what happens when you're a champion. Yes. Yeah.
Karina knows that feeling.
Feels good.
Oh, I remember.
What would you like to plug, Karina?
You can catch me in a merry band of idiots
every Tuesday night and some Wednesday nights on Twitch
for our channel, Botch Party, where we stream movies and make fun of them
along with the people in the chat.
So you get to make jokes with us.
And we generally choose terrible and or very strange movies.
So I know, Doug, you're doing someone with Roar coming up.
We did Roar a couple of weeks ago. That's that's a hoot
Yeah, and we're doing a wild movie. I dug and grant. Are you are you familiar with war from 1980? Oh
Yes
It's so it's so insane. I've watched it, you know, with the mic in my hand
at a movie interruption several times now.
And it never gets old.
It's one of the most suspenseful movies you can watch
because it's just a movie inhabited
with all these wild animals, mostly lions,
but there's, you know, Panthers and other shit too.
But all these wild animals are, they're trying to film this movie that tells a story
about these characters that are sort of, some of them play with the animals and some of
them are scared of the animals, but whatever they are, it's all really happening.
They're all really actually interacting with these animals.
And I believe like 70 people got injured over the course of making this movie, including
a cinematographer, the DP Jean de Bont, who went on to be a great director.
He got literally scalped by one of the, you know, a lion taking a swipe at the top of
his head.
Melanie Griffith is in the movie because it's
her mother who was kind of behind the whole thing because she was super into animal conservation
and living peacefully with animals. And Melanie Griffith got injured at one point in the film,
almost a lifetime scar on her face. But fortunately that went away and she went on to
great success. But anyway,
just once I want to be a part of a movie like that.
And that way whenever anybody is complaining on a later set,
I just go, this is nothing.
I was once filming a movie and I was scalped by a lion.
Yeah. Yeah.
Gene Hackman bit me.
Gene Hackman bit me in the face.
So yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, Corina, because that's my next.
I've been doing shows in L.A.
The Benson movie interruption has been we've been doing your choice editions where people just bring.
It's kind of like choose your own pancake, the master pancake in in Texas.
But they bring their own movies in.
And then the whole audience, we pick one to watch.
But we watched Roar last December and it was so much fun and everybody was so into it. And I'm
just like, you know, screw it. Let's just straight up do Roar. And I got, he was played one of the
sons, actual son of the lunatic who was, you know, basically behind the whole movie.
John Marshall is going to join us. So not only are we going to be making jokes during it, but also
we can get hardcore facts about what was going on on that set from one of the stars of the film.
That is amazing. That's awesome.
stars of the film. That is amazing.
That's awesome.
And Mark Smalls and Jonah Ray
will be joining me.
And that's Tuesday night here in
Los Angeles.
But let's not get ahead of
ourselves. We're not into my
plugs yet.
Carina, did you did you get
everything in?
Yeah, just we also do a
subscriber choice where you bring
the movie the last Tuesday of
every month. So botch party on twitch
That's it. I love it. Thank you
Grant
Rosenmeier
Terrific first time guest if I do say so myself
Talk to us about you you've got the one movie that's available now and one that's coming out soon
Could you tell us about both of those?
Yes, so Come As You Are, I believe,
is available on a bunch of platforms.
That is a movie very near and dear to my heart.
It is inspired by a true story
about three young men with disabilities
who went on a road trip to a brothel
that caters to people with special needs
so they could lose their virginity and experience independence.
So that's, I believe that's still out everywhere.
And my new one is called The Secret Art of Human Flight,
in which I play a children's book author whose wife slash best friend slash illustrator dies tragically and in my character's grief he becomes obsessed with
a self-help book that he finds on the dark web called The Secret Art of Human Flight
that's written by this eccentric guru who calls himself Mealworm.
That character is played by the incredible Paul Racy who was nominated for an Oscar for
Sound of Metal and he shows up at my
house in a Winnebago and starts teaching me how to fly like a bird or Superman so
it's probably the funniest movie about grief or the saddest comedy about flying
either way it's it's terrific and I'm really proud of it it also stars Lucy
DeVito who's Danny DeVito's daughter.
It stars Maggie Grace from Lost and Taken and The Walking Dead.
I'm trying to think of, it's just a good, good movie.
We played a Tribeca last year.
We're coming out in theaters next month and I'm very, just in theaters, not everywhere,
just in theaters.
And we're going to leave it there until you can't stand it anymore. And we're gonna leave it there
until you can't stand it anymore.
And then we'll put it on VOD.
Yeah, fly out to the theater, see this damn movie,
the way it's meant to be seen.
Yes, we shot it in large format
and we have a real nice mix and it's great.
Just go, please come see it.
It also comes out, I believe on my birthday,
which Doug, it turns out is a day after your birthday.
So, you know, don't mess with my birthday.
Nobody wants bad box office numbers on their birthday.
You share a birthday with Tom Cruise.
I do, I know that.
I like to brag that I was born one day before Tom Cruise
I'm just one day older than you oh
Yeah, no weird and it's also funny to the same year for the July because he started born on the 4th of July
So that movie's a lie
Do you ever go look Tom? I'm older than you so listen up
I did every time I've met him I but that's first thing I say, is I'm a day older than you.
I actually have never said that to him
because I'm too busy just being,
I have met him twice and he's like a politician
in how he deals with idiots like me.
Like he was so nice, didn't need to be.
I feel like he's always campaigning, you know, to be
everybody's favorite movie star. And it's going pretty well. It works a lot of the
time. Yeah, that was one. The last Mission Impossible though got dinged, like, go
people are, you know, not didn't go out, rush out to see it in the theaters and
you know, I'm sure that was another one that was sort of unfairly judged as some sort of failure when I'm sure especially
In other parts of the world. It's probably made so much money
I feel like that's just the hangover from having the biggest movie of the last decade right before that and then
You know, it's like what yeah make
1.8 billion dollars
Yeah, what a failure nice try maverick It's like what? It didn't make 1.8 billion dollars?
Yeah. What a failure.
Nice try, maverick.
But thank you, Grant, for being here and anytime you have something to promote,
please by all means reach out, you know, if you'd like to come back again.
I would love to. This is such a fun way to spend a morning.
Which coast are you based on?
West coast.
Oh, okay.
So that's another thing, another possibility
is I could hit you up for a show with a live audience
because those are super fun as Karina and Doogie can tell you.
Yes, please.
I would love that.
Here's my plugs.
I am going to be doing stand up this Thursday
night, June 6. And a Douglas movie Saturday afternoon, June
8, both at the Arlington Draft House Cinema in Arlington,
Virginia. And as mentioned earlier, I'm interrupting roar at
Dynasty typewriter in LA this Tuesday night, which would be June
4th.
And one of the stars of the film will be there to explain why the fuck all the things that
happened in that movie are happening.
It's one of the, they call it the most dangerous movie ever made and I dare say that
that is terribly accurate. So thank you once again to all of my guests, Doogie Horner, Karina Magyar,
Grant Rosenmeier, look them up on the socials and follow and support them and as always,
and support them. And as always, good luck little fella!
