Doug hates candy, a rapper's squeaky, sticky teeth
With empty acid poppers, birdies in his teeth
There's still not one that people sing
But Doug loves movies Hey everybody
Wow that was exciting
Like the theme song started and I was like
I don't have my water and I had to run across the room
And get a water
And the whole time I was running out here I was like, I don't have my water. I had to run across the room and get a water.
The whole time I was running out here,
I was like, but the label's on it.
Now I'm scratching the label off.
I don't know why I'm so obsessed with taking the label off of waters.
This will all be sponsored by water someday.
My name is Doug and I love movies.
This is Doug Loves Movies once again coming to you from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles
in front of a live audience.
That's them.
It's them right there.
Totally on cue.
Whoever wins from the audience tonight
is going to get this wrapper in their bag
of amazing prizes.
And then you'll find out who made this water.
You'll be like, oh no, that looked like...
That looked like Fiji to me.
Because that's who I want to sponsor the podcast.
I like Fiji water, just because I like the shape of the bottle.
It's too big to fit in your ass,
but just small enough to come close.
And that's exciting.
What a weird thing to say.
It's July 5th, 2, Ocean's 11.
Apologies to the great Leonard Maltin
for his mama and balls being called shitheads
on last week's show.
I don't think either of his balls or his mama is a shithead.
And if he's listening, I apologize.
He probably isn't.
I had a great time.
Bless you, someone in the audience.
I had a great 4th of July weekend
in Vegas with,
let me just name some names, Joe Rogan,
Brian Redband, Ari Shaffir, Joey Diaz,
Bill Burr, and Mayhem Miller.
Those are some of the people I hung out with
in Vegas.
Mayhem Miller, I wish this was
I Love Mayhem Miller
instead of movies, because I could
go on about that guy forever.
I just met him, but holy shit,
he's insane.
And he's extremely violent.
He's one of those guys, he's in the fight game
because he wants to punch people all the time.
So you can't just have a conversation with a guy
without getting punched.
And I don't know if I'm up for that.
But I can't wait to see him again.
It's week seven of me
not seeing Pirates 4 on Golden Tides.
And it's week number
who cares about me not seeing Green Lantern
or Cars 2. Let's face it.
Let's face it. Nobody cares.
It doesn't take that
much strength to hold out on these things.
I might have screenings of all of them coming up at CineFamily,
but in the meantime, I'm going to do Benson Interruption movie episodes
that's just for the live audiences.
We haven't figured out exactly how to put it out on the Internet yet,
but we're doing it at CineFamily.
July 25th will be Fast Five.
Yeah, and I already have two amazing guests lined up for that one.
And July 31st, yes, July 35th in the state of Denver,
there will be a callback on July 31st.
We're going to show Piranha, no 3D, just regular style Piranha.
And
schedules permitting,
Adam Scott, Elizabeth Shue,
and Paul Scheer will be there.
Schedules permitting.
Cinefamily.org to get your tickets.
My guest today,
wait, did I skip part of it?
Oh, I skipped a couple things.
Hang on a second.
All of my tour dates
are at douglasmovies.com
and I'll be at the Tipsy Crow
in San Diego on July 21st
and that's during Comic-Con
so just start imagining yourself,
who does Doug know
that's at Comic-Con
that could come by and perform?
Oh, some awesome people.
Yeah, it's going to be nerd-tastic.
Transformers 3 has earned $400 million worldwide.
Congrats on being dumb, people of the earth.
My guest today...
Those are the two things I forgot.
I got them in.
How you doing?
You're here with your kids?
Yeah, you. No, not the kid. Yeah, but I'm telling you anyway.
They are here to,
what do you call it?
I got a text that distracted me.
They are here to compete in round three
of the Leonard Maltin
Tournament of Championships.
Please welcome
Jordan Brady, Edgar Wright,
and Sam the Man Levine!
A.K.A., Levine!
AKA Lil Wolverine!
In this corner!
Weighing in at seven and a half pounds!
Lil Wolverine! now you may have sat down street strategically
excuse our troubles well boy oh loco I water is hard for me to drink I like vodka
I choke when I drink water.
Let me just run this by you guys.
During the Leonard Mullen game today,
let's do the reverse thing where as soon as someone
wins or loses the point,
then it goes around the opposite direction.
However you want to run the game, Doug,
that's all up to you, man.
I would never come down hard on you
if I thought you did
a shitty job
running the game. People sent me a lot
of nice, respectful notes
saying that they really like knowing the year
that the movie comes out.
So they suggested that I make the
year just like a clue that
I give every time.
I'm chewing on that and I like it, but
I'm not going to change the rules mid
tournament of championships. No, certainly not. Yeah, but I'm not going to change the rules mid-Tournament of Championships.
No, certainly not.
Yeah, yeah.
We'll talk about that in the future on like around July 19th or so.
So to be strangely specific.
But Sam Levine, you were on last week.
You're on this week.
I am the most overexposed guest in the history of Doug Loves Movies.
I had another way of putting it.
It's the summer of Sam.
How about the summer of the ma'am?
You know I love a movie reference, ma'am.
It's not the summer of ma'am?
No.
Well, it could be.
That'd be a great movie.
Call Martin Lawrence's agent.
Big Mama's house four,
summer of ma'am.
So she starts killing people.
That'd be awesome.
Do it in a historical context.
Maybe there's somebody
in a dog suit
that gives special
psychotic messages to him.
Yeah, it's good.
You guys see it, right?
I like this.
It could be a spin-off of Wilfred.
Wilfred. I was going to say Wilfred.
Have you seen the original Wilfred, Edgar?
With Bruce Davidson.
You seem like you'd pay attention to international television
more than most people.
What are you talking about? Willard
or Wilfred? Wilfred was an
Australian sitcom first, right? No, I haven't
seen neither. I haven't seen neither.
I thought you were talking about Willard, the rat's film.
Sorry.
Yes, well, that was an international success as well,
because who doesn't like a guy who trains rats to eat Edgar,
Ernest Borgnine?
Can I just say, he's very popular,
and the accent is really fucking intimidating right now.
I mean, I'm out of place.
For the record, he was pointing at me when he said really popular.
Yeah, no, I was. Both of those things were not said
about Edgar. No, no, I was saying...
Who is also very popular, but I just wanted my due
for the listeners. Jordan and Edgar
both look more Wolverine than
Lil' Wolverine. Right?
We all do. Everyone's more
Wolverine than you are. Why did I not have enough
photos of that day so that
people would not think you're crazy?
Please, do me a favor and grow exactly a Wolverine
thing and let's really take this to the next level.
If I make the finals, maybe for you.
Oh, that'd be great if you came out with...
How fast can you grow it? Like a day and a half?
Give me like three hours
from now. I just hold my breath
really hard and just do that.
It just comes right out like play-doh.
When you were doing Freaks and Geeks,
was there a full-time staff keeping you
hairless?
24 hours a day
of, oh shit, Sam's
growing again. Yep.
Yep.
Because you were supposed to be like 13, you were 27,
right? Exactly. Yeah, yeah. Your math is always
tip-top. You know
me in math. Now people are
saying that Edgar Wright is a
shoe-in to win tonight.
I tweeted it.
Oh, you're a couple of pussies. You're just
trying to make it so it'll be even more
amazing if you pull it out and win.
I went back into the history
books. I just remembered
that
I didn't go back and look at anything.
But didn't Aubrey Plaza beat you once, Edgar?
Yeah, it's true.
Yeah, Aubrey Plaza, you guys.
What do you think she knows about movies?
You know I've never won this game, right?
Well, this is your night.
We'll see.
Are you wearing a three on your shirt because of Scott Pilgrim?
That's awesome.
Wow.
Wow.
Oh, I see.
Very clever.
And he's got the,
yeah, he went and ruined
his DVD
by turning the box
into a name tag.
It's very complicated, though.
There's a lot going on there.
It's like a pop-up book.
Do you have a model of the set?
Yeah.
Let's have a look at this.
There's text and everything.
I've already picked
my contestant.
Get that to Edgar.
He's already picking his.
But I like that
you couldn't be bothered to get pictures of Sam or Jordan.
You just go, like, there, look at that.
Oh, yeah, that's kind of bullshit.
He just has little printouts of our names.
What the hell is that?
Not even last names.
How lazy are you?
It's pretty involved to be calling lazy.
I'm sorry.
That's like running a marathon and at mile 25 going,
ah, fuck it, they know I did this much.
I should be good enough to impress anybody.
I can totally see it.
I'm putting together something for tonight's show.
Edgar, Doug, bong rip.
All right, I'm good.
What I'm going to do
during the game
is I'm going to put
pins in here
and here.
Yeah, it's the voodoo version.
It's the voodoo version
of Doug Loves Movies.
Doug Loves Voodoo.
I don't think it works
to stick a pin
into somebody's name
that was printed out
and glued onto a thing.
Well, we'll just
have to find out.
But I just want to say
that anybody can win this game. Anybody. There's strategy. and glued onto a thing. Well, we'll just have to find out. But I just want to say that
anybody can win this game.
Anybody.
There's strategy.
You know, the bidding is important.
So don't think Edgar's got this sewn up, you guys.
I think Edgar has this sewn up.
That's weird.
I could hear someone in the audience's thoughts.
It was a little sad.
Why would somebody whisper their own thoughts?
Oh, I'm tired of yelling in my head okay what do you we got two directors on the panel this might be a first pretty sure it is
I'm not gonna go back and check of course
but jordan what are you working on director directorially
direct another project i am comic have you guys seen i comic very
very enjoyable wow it's a documentary for comedians to show their mother to say this is
what it's like well i i have two from the footage i'm actually i started
cutting she be comics with the female comedians and then i'm doing a real thing no it's a real
thing and then she be comics she be comics so only black female black female it's a niche
but i'm going after that okay and you're cutting that together yeah and you could make a million
movies from the interviews you did for that movie. I still need you.
Yeah,
we didn't get around to it.
Strangely enough.
He called me every day
like 4.15,
what are you doing?
What do you think I'm doing?
Firing up the vaporizer.
My kids came with me
last time to the show.
Right,
his kids are fans,
which makes me feel
old and sad.
We go to CineFamily,
we see the movies, we come here, we've seen the show and now we We go to CineFamily. We see the movies.
We come here.
We've seen the show.
And now we have a game we play in line.
I was telling Sam.
We judge your audience members buzzed, stoned, or super high.
And as the people are in line, we rate them.
And it's a lot of fun.
Those are kind of synonymous.
Buzzed and stoned.
Stoned is a little more in our world. Buzzed is booze. Stoned's a little more in our words.
Buzzed is booze? No, buzzed is
just like a little... Oh, just a mellow.
A little mellow, like, hey, we're gonna laugh.
And then high is a notch higher.
Yeah, stoned or high
is synonymous. And then super high
is me and only me.
So when I walk by the line, you just go,
there it is. There he is, right there.
No one comes close.
That's the one.
Mr. Popper eats the penguins.
Spoiler alert.
Sorry.
Just had to get that out.
It's a terrible movie.
He eats them on the grill with a marinade made of his own urine.
Now I want to see this movie.
Now I'm interested.
I just got a text from frequent guest
Ricky Lindholm.
Who said, just saw you're going to be
in Cleveland on July 9th.
That's true. Hilarities.
She says, I'm here filming a movie.
So that has nothing to do with this podcast we're taping
right now.
She's filming a movie in Cleveland.
That's great.
Tell us what you're going to write back, Doug.
I'm going to think about what I want to write back.
Alright, think about it. Doug loves texting.
Is that a whole new...
Is that tape at nine?
It just came up on my
phone while I was looking at it to get ready for the game.
Oh, wait. We've got another
text coming in.
Oh, this is exciting, huh?
This is a
friend of mine, Tony Thaxton, who
got knocked out of the competition a few weeks ago.
He says, in
parentheses, unnecessary, and then
advice to Edgar.
So, here's your advice, Edgar.
Don't play the game drunk and cocky.
He says, I learned the hard way.
I'm not drunk.
Yeah, you're not drunk.
We just came from a bar, and I drank four more drinks than you did,
and I had four drinks.
So you're definitely not drunk.
But let's play the Leonard Maltin game, everybody.
Oh, wow, that was fast.
You're just jumping right into it. Game on. You've got to get right into it. If there's time at the end Maltin game, everybody. Oh, wow. That was fast. You're just jumping right into it.
Game one.
You got to get right into it.
If there's time at the end, we'll...
Holy shit.
Yeah, there's some name tags in the audience.
I read this far.
This is insane.
Megan's for you.
Oh, that's...
It's crazy.
Oh, man.
What does Megan say?
It says, I give great head, ladies and gentlemen.
Wow, Megan.
Megan is boasting.
She could just be bragging
about something that has nothing to do with
whether or not you pick her.
Oh, wow. This is really
intense. I've only been hearing this.
There's a watermelon over here.
Who do they think would be on?
Buckaroo Bonza?
Other audience members are pointing towards a... Who do they think Would be on Buckaroo Banzai Over there
Other audience members
Are pointing back there
Towards the
Audience members
Alright alright
I'm gonna go get the birthday
There's a bunch of arrows
Pointing at one guy
Girl
Wow
I couldn't tell
Where the arrows were pointing
I'm gonna stick
I'm gonna stick with
Voodoo Damon
Yeah yeah
You picked yours already
So pick me It's my birthday What's your name Birthday girl were pointing. I'm going to stick with Voodoo Damon. Yeah, yeah. You picked yours already.
So pick me. It's my birthday. What's your name,
birthday girl?
Cassandra. Did you put that on your name tag? Yeah, yeah. There it is. Small print.
Tiny little print. Yeah, tiny little print at the bottom.
Cassandra. And I just
want to go on record as saying, Sam,
that's nice of you to pick her because it's her
birthday, but that's the last reason
somebody should be chosen.
Jordan, have you settled on anybody?
Well, I'm going to be playing for St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
Oh, that's beautiful.
They can auction off all these lovely prizes
and make some money for children with cancer.
I'm going with the guy from Lost right here in the front row.
Oh, wow.
Jordan. Thank you. Wow. See, he didn't write from Lost right here in the front row. Jordan.
See, he didn't write Jordan on there because he wanted you to pick him.
That's his name.
I know.
And he's here all the time.
Have you ever won yet?
He's never won.
He was very nice to me outside.
Oh, I bet he was.
I read your name on a ball.
Oh, nice to meet you.
But there it is.
Lady who had a beer
as a name tag,
did you just down that beer
when you didn't get picked?
Yeah, okay.
That is very clever of you.
Fuck it.
Just down it.
Just get drunk.
Can I see your little voodoo thing?
Yeah.
I mean, the fact that he made little chairs.
Now, did you get the order?
We didn't get the order right.
Also, how old is that picture of you, Edgar?
Is that your high school picture?
No, that's me when I was 16 years old.
It looks like Tom fucking Cruz.
You have Tom Cruise hair.
With Dan Aykroyd teeth.
I mean, I love Dan Aykroyd's teeth.
Periodontal disease will never touch Dan Aykroyd.
Or you, Sir Edgar Wright.
Is that how that works?
Tom Cruise and Dan Aykroyd, that's not a bad mix.
I'd sell for that.
You're if they had a baby.
Okay, let's see. Now, we can't had a baby. Don't ruin it. He clearly put a
lot of work into that one.
If I lose,
do I get to keep the ball?
That's the question for Jordan.
There's a lot of autographs on there.
He's got a lot of great baseball players on there.
Thanks for the confidence.
He's got... He's got a lot of great baseball players on there. Thanks for the confidence. He's got...
What baseball players has he got here?
He's got Nick Kroll.
Paul F. Tompkins.
Doug Benson, of course.
One of the baseball greats.
Mickey Mantle?
Bill Simmons.
At least he has something to do with sports.
Wilson?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, that's who made it.
No, that's who made it.
Oh.
I was going to say the guy from Castaway.
The guy from...
All right, well, good luck, Jordan.
Thank you.
I think if I have to make a quick prediction,
you're going to have to bring this ball back again.
But if you win today, you won't try to win again, right?
You're going to be honest about it, because I'll forget.
I'll forget that you won, and won't try to win again, right? You're going to be honest about it. Because I'll forget. I'll forget that you won.
I'll let you play again.
I don't have time to keep track of that kind of stuff.
All right, let's play the game.
Oh, amazing prizes.
Let me quickly go through.
Holy shit, I can't believe I didn't manage to realize.
I just realized I was fingering my own face.
And then I thought, maybe I should stop doing that.
A few weeks ago, Sam and I were that A few weeks ago Sam and I were on
The show with Kevin Pollack
And he brought a copy of
It was an in-studio show
Kevin was not thinking ahead
And brought a signed copy
Of his DVD
The Littlest Suspect
The Littlest Suspect
A fantastic comedy special
So I said
No, no, no
I'll take it
And I will give that out
As my prize
Yeah
Riotously funny
You totally paid it forward
An awesome, awesome special But But it's funny, that
day, the entire time, I thought it was a copy
of Usual Suspects.
I didn't know it was a copy of the littlest suspect.
Which is
cool. But why would he give a copy
of the Usual Suspects away when everyone
owns that on DVD?
Does everyone?
Yeah.
Three people here don't. Apparently not.
Hairspray, a copy of Hairspray.
That's courtesy of Jordan Brady,
who also brought a copy of his movie I Am Comic,
which I cannot recommend enough.
Yes, you get a copy of that.
Available on iTunes.
What?
Available on iTunes.
Yeah, you can get it on iTunes.
That's right.
Not Netflix.
I mean, it is on Netflix Netflix But I don't see shit
So it's iTunes
Okay
Tell your friends
He brought a copy of
Dill Scallion
A movie that you did
Several years back
You know what that's good for?
What?
Leveling the table
When it's on
Oh okay
You can just slide it on
With a little shim
It's a shim
It's a perfect size
It's the country
Spinal tap right?
That's how it's marketed
Dana Gould
Kathy Griffin
Yeah some funny people in there
Amanda Bala It's a heady
documentary about corruption in brazil by a friend of mine jason cone a documentary filmmaker
all right so maybe i watched it i'm trying to get high and watch it yeah and then and they have
there's like a frog farm in it that's the b story is a frog farm it's it's good don't you know that's
like somebody told me that about
catfish. Someone was like
there's no catfish.
And then Sam brought a copy of Groundhog
Day. Yeah, I did. I love that movie.
And he signed it and said I'm not
in this movie at all. Not at all.
And I brought a copy
of my CD, which I'm not on.
And a woot monkey. And I brought an copy of my CD, which I'm not on, and a Woot Monkey, and I brought an extra Woot Monkey to shoot into the crowd.
And as some of you may know, I never shoot it into the side sections. Because the middle section got here first, right?
Theoretically? I don't know. Maybe
not. Maybe you like sitting on the side like a weirdo.
But maybe you'll win.
It was your name tag. I picked, right?
Alright. And then, check this out.
Scott Pilgrim vs.
the World poster, and
of course, a copy of Scott Pilgrim vs.
the World. On Blu-ray World on Blu-ray DVD.
Blu-ray DVD.
Whichever one you have, it'll
work. It's a combo.
Oh, two. There's two posters.
So that's awesome.
When is Scott Pilgrim coming out on Laserdisc
by the way?
I got no funny
answer for that.
Oh.
You could have said 1988.
Whenever Criterion gets around to it,
that's when it'll come out.
All right.
Let's play a letter-mong game.
Oh, my God.
It is squishing up here.
What's her name again?
Cassandra.
It is not cool on the stage.
Good luck, Cassandra and
Damon.
And Jordan.
It's great. Name tags that I can't see what the names are.
It's just as I envisioned it.
Oh, I got a text from Brian Posehn.
Alright, here we go.
Name drop.
He texted me to say he doesn't smoke weed anymore.
Okay, here we go.
Like boasting, or did you ask him for weed earlier?
No, that's like, I don't know if you heard, but he doesn't smoke anymore.
So he's boasting?
No, he didn't say anything about it.
I was joking.
I was making fun of the fact that he quit, and that several weeks later he texted me.
Very well. As you me. Very well.
As you were.
Very well.
Can I just say something?
Please.
Last time I was on the show,
first of all, I'm very flattered to be here
amongst such wonderful audience members
and great hosts and my colleagues.
You know that that's not how you win the Letterman.
I know, I know.
It does help.
It's just very gregarious.
Audience support has nothing to do
with it
there was a comedian backstage that was on the
dais with us I won't say his name but it
rhymes with Rod Glass
and he was going
to partake in the marijuana and you
Doug Benson said no Todd
and I gotta
say when you tell someone
not to smoke that's a pretty fucking heavy message
And I want to applaud you
I commend you
He had been on once before
Where he smoked first
And he doesn't go to movies anyway
He doesn't have the attention span for it
But he smoked first
And so did Jimmy Dore
And so did I
And I made a little bit of sense
And they both made zero sense
Combined And we did a whole episode that way So go back and listen to that one and so did I, and I made a little bit of sense, and they both made zero sense combined,
and we did a whole episode that way.
So go back and listen to that one
if you want to hear three fucktards.
You're always incredibly lucid
in whatever you're hosting,
in the Rop D or whatever.
Yeah, I think Denver's a state, dude.
No, but the kinds of mistakes that I make
could be made by anyone who's very sloppy in their preparation.
It doesn't matter how high I am.
Like Damon?
Yeah, I'm pointing to this.
David's thing is cool.
Screw that, man.
I don't have a face.
What is this part?
What is that?
Is that an autograph or what is that?
Oh, you signed that.
Yeah.
Where did that come from?
You're a stalker this is weird
all right jordan we'll start with you okay here we go and then we'll uh you realize that if i
don't win damon is going to kill the two of you and our real faces will be on the little sticks
there i better win At least your skin.
At least your facial skin.
Soak us in milk for a week in his basement.
You've done this before?
All right.
We'll start with Jordan, and we'll go down to Edgar,
and then continue on with Sam.
Whatever you want to do, buddy.
The ma'am.
Whatever you want to do.
It is sort of up to me.
First category, submitted by at Todd Berner-e-r-n-e-r
give me libertini or give me death yeah it was fourth of july yesterday the films of richard
libertini oh yeah right i'm going hard on you guys i mean mean, this was submitted by a guy, but I've accepted it.
It's a tough category.
Doug hates remakes.
Would be films that are remakes that Doug isn't particularly pleased with.
Does not think they should have happened.
And there's very few remakes I do think should happen.
I think Arthur was excellent.
And then your third category would be Fonda
Family Films. Because I'm fond
of family films, but these are
films featuring the Fonda family.
Yeah.
Oh, I could have called this WT
Fonda.
So which one of those do you like?
Remakes, Fondas, or the great
Richard Libertini? I'm going to have
to go Family Fun Fonda.
Okay, Fonda films.
This is a film featuring either
Henry, Jane, Bridget,
or Peter Fonda. Wow.
Or all of the above, even though no such film exists.
Okay.
Would you like a Fonda film from 99,
2005, or 2007?
A film featuring one of the Fondas.
99, please.
A 99 Fonda film.
This Fonda film?
Not to make it easy, none of those are going to feature
Henry Fonda, are they?
You're only hurting
yourself, Edgar.
If I were playing,
I would have guessed
on Golden Pond.
Leonard Mullen
gives this movie
two stars.
What year is it?
1999.
It features a Fonda.
He also says
that it is
irritating
and It features a Fonda. He also says that it is irritating.
And he also says that Adam Arkin appears unbuilt in this movie from 1999 that has a Fonda in it. How many names do you think you can get it in, Jordan Brady, out of eight names?
Five.
Strong opening bid, Edgar.
Oh, you're guessing me?
Yeah.
Three.
Three names, Sam the Man.
I hate that I have to say this.
Come on, LW.
Edgar named that movie.
I could have it wrong. All right. Do you want the clues again? Yeah. It's irritating. I on, LW. Edgar named that movie. I could have it wrong. You don't know.
Alright. Do you want the clues again?
Yeah. It's irritating. I think I know it.
Alright. Settle down.
Don't
blurt anything out. It's not
your turn to guess. Adam Arkin appears
on Build and it's irritating. Two stars
from 1999. It has a fond
in it and your three names are
Meredith Salinger, Mariska
Hargitay, and David
Lewis.
Oh, here we go, Edgar Wright.
The slam dunk winner of our
competition tonight. You might have stumped me.
Let me think. Well, Henry's not in it.
We know this much. Son of a bitch.
This is so exciting.
It's got a fondant in it.
That was Sam, by the way.
That wasn't me.
Again, whispering for no reason.
That was not me.
That was someone in the audience.
Sam's inner thoughts are Mike's.
99.
It's got a fondant in it.
It's irritating.
The great Adam Arkin
Adam or Alan?
Adam
Adam Arkin
Yeah
I think that's what I've said all along
I thought you said Alan
Don't play your games with me
I thought he was saying Alan Arkin
Prosecuting attorney
Hmm
1999
You got no idea do you?
No I don't
I'm gonna have to take a wild stab okay i can rule
i can rule out henry fonda because he was sure walk us through it so which fonda do you think
it is i would you know i would the one i was working probably right the one i would have
gone for this irritating is not 1999 because it's not monster-in-Law with Jane Fonda. Because that's too late.
I will not say.
No, it's not.
It's not 1999.
Hmm.
People in the audience know it?
Don't say it, but you know it, right?
Okay.
Well, how many stars?
Two stars.
Two stars.
Irritating, said Leonard.
Well, this is a film.
I don't think this film is a two-star movie, but I've got a feeling maybe Leonard didn't like it.
So I'm going to make a wild stab in the dark.
Please.
The Limey with Peter Fonda.
No.
See, I fucked up.
What did you think it was, Jordan?
Well, at first, I thought it was a very irritating film with Peter Fonda called Thomas the Tank Engine.
With Alec Baldwin.
It was fucking trippy.
Because my kids were little then.
It would have been the time.
And I thought, okay, that's obscure.
And I thought you said Alan Arkin. That's something Leonard would like.
Thomas the Tank Engine.
And Alan Arkin would not have wanted
his name associated with that movie.
But then when you said Adam Arkin,
I went, whoa.
Maybe it's not Thomas the Tank Engine.
So now I'm thinking it's Bridget Fonda, kind of sexy with a gun.
Right?
Help me, Edgar.
Point of no return?
Way too late.
That was in the mid-90s.
I wasn't going to say that.
Well, it's not Jackie Brown.
That was 97.
It's not Uli's Gold.
She never got a Jackie Brown.
The password is show off.
No, I'm just saying.
Yeah, yeah.
I couldn't figure it out.
I'm beating me.
Don't be confused about trivia
in front of Sam Levine.
He'll bring the answer straight to your door.
I have no idea what this movie is.
Not showing off.
Is John Travolta in it?
No.
Was he in a movie with Bridget Fonda?
I don't know.
Do I get another clue?
No, I was just asking for fun.
I thought you had a good idea what it was. Thomas the Tank Engine? No, no, I was just asking for fun.
I thought you had a good idea what it was.
Thomas the Tank Engine. No, wrong.
Okay, I don't know what it is.
No, I'll give you some more names.
Betty White would be the next name.
That should give it away.
It's got to have Jane funding it then, right? 1999.
Betty White?
What has Betty White been in?
You can maybe think of one or two Betty White movies.
The Proposal?
That's one of them.
That's too late.
That's a little too late.
What's the other one?
Snickers the movie?
What's the other one where she goes out to put her feet in a lake?
Lake Placid.
That's right.
The Alligator.
Damn it.
Oh my God.
That was right in your...
You've all seen it, right?
Lake Placid?
I have, yes.
It's on cable all the time.
I kind of like it.
I quite...
Oliver Platt is always good.
Don't let me see the phone.
I won't let you see it.
I quite like Lake Placid.
That's maybe why I didn't...
Maybe the two stars threw you off.
The irritating threw me off.
Lake Placid, I wouldn't call it irritating.
As I remember, a cow gets eaten by an alligator.
What's irritating about that?
Because you're like with PETA or some shit.
And you might have an issue with it.
But it was all CGI, right?
There wasn't a real...
No, they killed a cow.
They really...
They let the mechanical alligator... No, it was a real... That's a killed a cow. They really... They let the mechanical...
No, it was a real...
Alligator.
That's a true story.
No, it is true.
They found that alligator
and they put a cow in front.
It's real.
Both items are real.
When it's in the food chain,
you can film it that way.
It's true.
Right?
Coaxing that cow
so close to the water, though,
that was tough.
It is crazy.
When they murder that... Whatever it is in Ap crazy the... when they murder that whatever it is
in Apocalypse Now, when they hatch
at that cow. Jesus.
How can they do that in a movie?
That was filmed overseas. There's a whole
different set of rules.
But then they showed it here.
Why weren't people outside with picket signs?
I guess because
Vietnam is worse.
Okay. So what happened there?
I win.
I believe I won a point, my friend.
Sam got the point because he told him to name it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So he gets the point.
Well played.
But nice try trying to take the point away by just going, I got the point.
Because that works sometimes.
It's three points to win, right?
Three points tonight, yeah.
So we've got a lot to get through.
I'm going way too slow.
But so Sam gets the point, and who asked him to name it?
I mean, you asked Edgar to name it.
So we'll start with you again, Jordan.
But this time we go around the other way.
It goes to Sam next after Jordan.
All right, here we go.
Calhounatic, someone whose last name is Calhoun,
added a tick to their Twitter name, Calhounatic.
And he says, Doug loves loves TV Should be a category
Which is movies that were TV shows
Another category I created
All on my own is a category called
The Man
And this is movies
Where
The words
The and man are in the title.
Now, are they
alone in those two words? There's no more you need to know.
The words the and man are in the title.
Could the postman
be?
Sure, if you want to give shit away.
Sorry.
No, but that's not... The postman is not one of them.
The woman in red?
See, that's another example.
Yeah.
That would fit.
Oh, those would fit.
Okay.
Yeah, it's got the man in the title.
Yeah, but I didn't get that weird with it.
Everyone I picked has the man and then the more title.
And then your third category option
submitted by Jake Python.
Not on Twitter.
It's just a guy on the street.
I'm Jake Python.
No.
At Jake Python said
I called the category
Double Vision, but he calls it
a movie so nice they named him twice.
A movie where there's the same word twice in the title.
So The Man, Double Vision, or Doug Loves TV.
Movies based on TV shows.
Which one would you like, Jordan?
Oh, I get to pick again?
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to go with The Man.
All right.
I'm going to go with The Man.
All right.
Would you like a The Man movie from 83, 93, or 2001?
And again, Henry Fonda not involved in any of them. Not involved in any one of them.
What were the years again?
83, 93, 2001.
This is exactly why I want to eliminate this part.
Oh. Oh.
Oh.
There was that one in the 80s where the guy was in blackface.
Shh, don't.
It was really bad.
What was that, right?
I don't know that one.
Okay, let's go.
The man in blackface?
Yeah, 2001.
That was Soul Man.
Soul Man.
Soul Man.
So that didn't have a the in it.
No the.
Oh, it wasn't the Soul Man? It wasn't the Soul Man. Oh. I'm. Soul man. No soul man. So that didn't have a the in it. No the. Oh, it wasn't the soul man?
It wasn't the soul man.
Oh.
I'm the soul man.
I'm the soul man.
All right.
Two and a half stars for this The Man movie from Leonard.
I might give it three.
I don't know.
I could agree with him.
He calls it exquisitely detailed.
What year is it?
What year was it?
2001.
2001.
And he says it has a gallery of rich, colorful performances.
Exquisitely detailed gallery of rich, colorful performances.
Did he spend an afternoon in a museum or did he see a movie?
And it's two and a half stars from 2001
and it's categories of the man
and there are
11 names.
How many names do you think you can get it in?
Jordan Brady, director of I Am Comic,
playing for Jordan in baseball.
2001.
There's a the.
There's a man.
Colorful.
Exquisitely.
Exquisitely.
Okay.
Two and a half star.
I never got that half star. Oh, Gallery of Rich
Colorful Performances.
Gallery of Rich
Colorful was in there.
Everything about this movie
is colorful.
Yeah.
Oh.
That's a terrible clue.
No, it wasn't that one.
Okay.
I'm going gonna say Four names
Strong opening bid
Now we go to Sam
Wow
Reversing the order
Four names
Yeah
That's what he said
Fucking name that movie
Alright
Ouch
No reason for profanity
Alright your four names are All right. Ouch. No reason for profanity.
All right.
Your four names are Christopher McDonald, Adam Alexi Maile, M-A-I-L-E, something like that.
Tony Shalhoub.
I don't know why I said it that way.
Tony Shalhoub.
And Richard Jenkins.
Those are your four names.
And it's from 2001. There's some groans in the audience. People are your four names, and it's from 2001.
There's some groans in the audience.
People might know what it is.
It's exclusively detailed, and there's a gallery of rich, colorful performances. Well, Tony Shalhoub always is versatile and always colorful, delivering those performances.
So pick a movie that starts, The Man.
Finish it off with the rest of the other words.
It's got Tony Shalhoub in it.
Wait a second.
You just totally changed this category, Doug.
I said the and man
are in the title. It's at the beginning
of the title. You did not specify that before.
I did. I disagree.
I disagree, yeah.
Oh, Jesus.
The postman you said was a perfectly
good... I said that would work, but that all the ones I picked start with the man.
I did not hear that.
I could not have been more clear about it.
I think he mumbled that.
I didn't mumble it.
I mean, only this section heard it, but.
Yeah.
Hey, you guys.
All right.
Hey, you guys.
I got a secret.
I got a secret about this trivia game.
All right.
Don't tell Sam.
Don't tell Sam, but the man is at the beginning
everybody that agrees
with Sam make a
woot monkey noise
yeah from the left side
there's three people here
who also did not hear it
everybody that agrees with Doug make a woot monkey noise
oh shit
some people aren't voting at all
they're abstaining.
They don't want to pick sides against us, Doug.
They don't want to pick sides.
Obama, Bachman, I can't choose.
You know what?
It's all right.
It's all right.
I'm the man who knew too much.
Oh, that's a great guess because there was a couple movies called that.
One with Bill Murray and a couple with James Stewart.
I know what it is.
Edgar knows what it is, so you lose, but let's have fun.
The man who wasn't there.'s what I was gonna say and only
Leonard Maltz could use the word colorful in a review of a black and
white film yeah he does that that was a terrible clue and I'm so proud of myself
for picking it all right so what happened there? I got myself another point. Sam's up to two, you guys.
Holy shit.
But that was between Sam and Jordan,
so we start with Edgar on this one.
So Edgar's going to pick a category.
Have you seen Crazy Stupid Love yet?
No.
It looks good, though, right?
I think so.
I think that looks good.
Movies with either crazy, stupid, or love in the title.
Believe it or not, there are some with each.
I mean, not believe it or not, but you know what I mean.
John W. Smith on Twitter suggested Pee Wee, Not Pee Wee,
which is films where Paul Reubens plays someone that's not Pee Wee Herman.
Yeah, that's a fucked up category.
Backage for Mr. Herman.
Thank you for submitting that, John W. Smith.
Mr. Herman, you have a telephone call.
And then your third choice, once again from Matt Todd Berner,
is Libertini or Death.
Let's go for Pee-wee Not Pee-wee.
All right.
I really love it with your accent,
saying peewee, not peewee.
Say it again.
Peewee, not peewee.
Wait, hang on.
That was my inner thoughts.
That was my inner thoughts you heard.
By the way, Paul Reumann's uncredited
in Thomas' Tank Engine.
That was all three of the ones I picked.
All right. You ruined it. 1992, 1999, or 2001? That was all three of the ones I picked.
Alright.
You ruined it.
1992, 1999, or 2001?
1992.
Damn.
Two stars from Leonard Maltin.
He calls it nasty and nihilistic.
Yeah, yeah.
He says occasional cleverness can't make up for a mean-spirited
screenplay.
Holy shit, Leonard's really laying into this one.
And the category was peewee, not peewee, and there are, including maybe Paul Rubens, there are 12 names.
Negative one.
Fuck!
I knew it, too.
I can get it
Oh wait
It goes to Jordan next
It goes to Jordan next
Damn it
Okay now it comes to Jordan
I have to say
Name
Of course you have to say it
I have to say
Name that movie
So what's the movie
I could have gone further
But I'm not sure
Of the billing
After the first one
That's alright
But it's Batman Returns
With Michael Keaton Yeah of course Yeah I would have gone If, but I'm not sure of the billing after the first one. That's all right. Batman Returns with Michael Keaton.
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I would have gone, if I had gone negative two, would it have been Michael Keaton, Michelle
Pfeiffer, then Chris Walken, or Chris Walken second?
No, DeVito second.
Good thing I did not go negative two.
According to Leonard, but you know how Leonard is.
It was second billed.
Michelle Pfeiffer.
He changes it up.
DeVito was second, and then Pfeiffer, Walken. See, I would have screwed up if I'd gone negative two. I up. DeVito was second.
I would have said Fife a second.
Passed away recently.
R.I.P.
I was well played.
Edgar has a point.
Sam has two points.
I have nothing.
I have a baseball. I at least get to pick a category this time.
You do?
I wasn't in that one.
Here we go.
Jordan will be next, right?
Wait, is that the right way to switch the order?
I get so confused.
Would you like
remakes, Fonda, or
Doug Loves Television?
I will go... Movies based on television.
Fonda remakes.
I'm going to go television.
Okay.
Would you like 91, 99, or 2004?
2004.
Two stars from Leonard.
Uh-huh.
Can't disagree.
He says that famous folk appear in cameos.
Okay.
So it's got some famous folk cameos.
And he also says that,
wow, he doesn't say anything
about what he thinks of this movie.
I can name that movie in negative two names.
He just describes it.
Wow.
Doug, you can stop. He calls it a comedy. He just describes it. Wow. Doug, you can stop.
He calls it a comedy.
He calls it a comedy.
Yeah.
Okay.
Negative two.
And there are six names.
All right.
And you say negative two.
This is intense.
So then switching the order around, we go to Jordan next, right?
People are like, Edgar, go to Edgar.
I don't think Edgar knows it either, though.
You went negative two names, Sam?
Yep.
All right, Jordan.
So I can't coach you what to do.
Can I ask the audience to join me in saying, Sam.
Name that movie.
That was fun,
the way you did that.
Now I'm second-guessing myself,
but I'm going to...
All right, what do you think
the movie is?
Negative two names,
but give me a minute.
Sam needs a minute.
Give me some time.
Give me some time.
Sam needs a minute.
Did you have it narrowed down to a couple things?
Yeah, I did.
I did.
Okay.
Is it Starsky and Hutch?
No.
Fuck!
That was later.
Usually, like, professional game show hosts don't have glee in their voice when they say
that the answer's wrong.
No!
It's more like, incorrect!
All right.
So, Jordan, you picked up a point with that move.
I'm going to share my point with the audience.
Oh, nicely done.
But what was the movie?
Does anybody have any idea?
My guess doesn't sound like 2004.
Not Bewitched.
I was going to say Bewitched as well, but not 2004.
No, no.
Hang on.
Here's some names first.
The iCarly movie yeah
in 2004
they like
made a time machine
there was an iCarly movie
though right
yeah yeah
but I don't know
if it was that long ago
Lizzie McGuire
that was the iCarly
that's what you're thinking
whatever
whatever you jerk off to
there were there were six names Whatever you jerk off to.
There were six names, and they'd go like this.
Keith D. Robinson, Jermaine Williams,
Shedrick Anderson III,
Dania Ramirez,
Kyle Pratt,
and then the lead actor,
the title character,
Kenan Thompson, Al Phan.
Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan. Al Phan Thompson Alphonse Alphonse
Hey, hey, hey
Damn
Well, you know that movie
That was based on a TV show
It had a lesson in it
What was the lesson?
That sometimes TV shows make shitty movies
Can you let us
Ken Hutch to make sure it's 2004
And I'm not completely insane?
No, we don't have time for that
But you
Well, somebody will tweet you about it.
You think it was 05?
Yeah, it was around that time.
It was a reasonable guess.
Yeah, you really threw yourself into it.
You know, you have to take chances in this game.
Not really, but okay.
All right.
I felt like it would have been a cheap win
if all my wins came from saying name them.
Oh, that's true.
So you have two.
Jordan has one. Jordan has one.
Edgar has one.
And where do we start?
What happened?
I got the point.
He said name that movie.
I couldn't, so I guess it starts with Edgar.
It starts with Edgar.
Edgar gets a pick.
Don't let me see the phone.
I'm not trying to look for it.
Well, this is just the categories.
But good call.
Good call for later. Right now you can look at it uh double vision
the or uh so nice they named it twice word titles with the same word twice crazy stupid love one of
those three words is in there and uh libertini or death oh god what's uh crazy stupid or love
not richard libertini so it's going to be double double double double is the same word twice or yeah
One word at least one word appears twice in the title. Let's go for double double in all right
1997 1999 or 2005
2005
Two stars from Leonard Maltin.
He says it's uneven.
And he says that it's loosely based on a novel.
Yeah.
And it's from 2005.
Two stars.
And there are seven names for this movie that repeats a word or two.
What's a word that repeats?
You know, like,
an example would be it's a mad, mad, mad, mad world
or author, author
or Corinna, Corinna
just to name three.
Julia, Julia.
Julia, Julia.
I'm going to go ballsy.
I'm going to go ballsy.
I'm going to go negative two.
Wow, ballsy.
Ballsy.
Sam, what's the strategy?
Ballsy's here.
Well, it's on me now.
Oh, it's on you, right.
It goes in that direction now.
Yeah.
Okay, so what do you want to do?
I have to say name that movie.
All right.
This is a Ballsy guess.
All right, I like it.
Do you want to hear everything again, or are you ready to go?
Well, it's either going to be what I think it is or not.
Okay.
And I think I saw this in this year.
Is it
Melinda Melinda with Will Ferrell
and Rodda Mitchell?
No.
Oh my god!
I told you it was possible.
I told you it could
happen.
Edgar Wright
and Jordan Brady defeated
at the hands of this little monster. Oh, Jesus. Edgar Wright and Jordan Brady defeated Oh my god
At the hands of this little monster

went negative two, but let me start

How'd you figure that out?
You looked it up

After the game ended.

from embarrassment.
Wow.
Oh, my God.
That was some serious talk.
This is like professional fighting,

He didn't even wait for my retort.
I was going to work a comedy bang-bang in there somewhere,
but it's gone.
He's gone now.
You won with kiss-kiss bang-bangs.
There's got to be some clever thing you could have said.
I'm glad you held him back and I held Sam back,
because that would have been a brawl.
That's for the listeners.
They don't know. That was ugly.
That was ugly. Another guy
almost jumped on Sam to match Scott's
height and then
they were going to go at it in a
polite game of

Yeah.

As I like to say, Super 8 is to E.T.

As I like to say, Super 8 is to E.T. as Attack the Block is to the Goonies.
It's an updating of sorts of a classic style of movie that we haven't seen that much of.
It's directed by my friend Joe Cornish, and it opens in seven cities on July the 29th.
Is Los Angeles one of those?
Yes.
All right.
See it.
Love this city.
I saw it.
I liked it a lot.
And Sam, what are you working on?
You can see the Kevin Pollack's chat show every Sunday at kevinpollackschatshow.com.
We have some fantastic guests coming up, including this Sunday, Don Cheadle.
Yeah, that's right.
I'm going to ask him to tell us stories about moving violations.
He was in that?
Yeah, it's his first role.
He played the drive-thru fast food employee.
Somebody in the audience was like, yes.
That's exactly how many people saw that movie, by the way, at the time.
But no, Don Cheadle's coming on, so KevinPollack'sChatShow.com.
Watch us live every Sunday or download us on iTunes.
Wasn't Jennifer Tilly in Moving Violations?
She sure was. Oh, that's a fun
poker connection.
As one of the
Murray brothers,
I can never get
John and Joel straight.
It was Joel.
You sure?
No.
Exactly.
I'm going to be on
the Tate and Teabag podcast
taped at Cap City Comedy
in Austin, Texas
on Friday, July 15th.
It's going to happen
at happy hour.
And thanks so much again to Edgar Wright,
Sam Levine, and Jordan Brady.
Let's hear it for them.
Thank you, everybody.
No, I didn't name a single thing.
It's wrong what I wanted.
Sam Levine, very exciting tournament of championships.
I tried, Paul F. Tompkins wanted to come by
and taunt you as well, but he was busy.
Scott and I, he has a job.
He was busy not taunting you.
And as always, Hitler is a shithead.
Which is one that I've actually done before.
As is this next one.
Dave Foley's first wife
is still a shithead.
Hey everybody, it's Doug Benson
with a post-show announcement.
It's official. It's happened.
I talked to Sam Levine after the show and explained to him
that the Tournament of Championships is a little bit more important
than going home to visit his father on his birthday.
So Sam is in July 18th, Universal CityWalk, John Lovett's Comedy Club.
It's going to be Paul F. Tompkins, Scott Aukerman, and Sam the Ma'am Levine,
a.k.a. Lil' Wolverine, going head-to-head in the TOC Finals.
Be there or be not there.
Yeah, that's some Shakespeare shit.
Now it's time for Doug
to watch another talkie.
Eyes of gold, his viewing prowess
makes him cocky.
There's no room in his heart for you
cause Doug loves
movies!
