Doug Leeds Hey everybody! My name is Doug and I love movies It's Tuesday June 22nd 2010 and you just heard a cover of the normal

I love movies, Doug loves movies theme song by Hard and Firm That was a cover performed by the band Motion City Soundtrack. And you guys had trouble with the clapping on that because they totally changed it up. And I'd like to bring out the man who helped to make that happen,

the drummer for Motion City Soundtrack. Please welcome Tony Thaxton, everybody. Tony. Get out here, Tony. There you are. Go are go ahead sit down the last one there and say hi to everybody hello everybody and uh so yeah so you're in this band Motion City Soundtrack which is an awesome band you should check out their uh most recent release is called my dinosaur life and it's available on itunes and wherever you get music and uh and tony uh we met through twitter uh yeah we met at uh bob hope airport first yeah yeah you came up to me at the airport you're like hey you're a

And I'm like, oh, I'll come by and get the pass and see the thing and see your band. And I saw your band play, and you played like an acoustic show. Yes, in 3D. Yeah, it was in 3D at the Consumer Electronics Show.

I was like, oh, my God, that band's like right in front of us. Twice. It's like 3D. We really did have 3D glasses on. It was crazy. But then, yeah, so that was cool that you got me in there, but I saw your band, and I thought, oh, those guys are cool.

They're a totally cool, mellow band. And then a few weeks later, I got to see you at the House of Blues, and you guys totally actually rock it out and don't play acoustic-y all the time. It's true. It's true. Great story, Doug.

But thanks, Tony, for getting the rest of the band to do that. I know that the guys live all over the country, maybe even the world, so they can't be here tonight. Yeah, yeah. Everybody's actually on their way here, but they're going to be here in like a couple of hours, so no one else. Yeah, they're going to get here too late, so

you're the band member that gets all the glory from having done that. And listen at the end of the show because you'll hear the outro music is also by Motion City Soundtrack. Contain your excitement, please. But you know, you've got a lot of fans, so I welcome them to the podcast. And now they have to listen to everyone. They've been indoctrinated. I've got a little business to take care of before we bring out.

You can see there's two other chairs out here. That means there's two other guests. I just want to say that I had a great time at the Helium Comedy Club in Philly last weekend. The Thursday night show was like 60% podcast listeners, which I almost busted out a Leonard Maltin game for the audience, but I thought the other 40% would be like, what the fuck is this? We came to hear about weed. So I pledged to that audience that very night

that I'm going to do a live Doug Loves Movies in Philadelphia someday. And when I say someday, I mean it the way that John Lithgow meant it when he pledged to me that he would come on my show someday. And when I say someday, I mean it the way that John Lithgow meant it when he pledged to me that he would come on my show someday. Still waiting, John Lithgow!

Like Harry banished to the woods. Lithgow! Lithgow! So, Toy Story 3D came out and it's number one. So Toy Story 3D Came out And it's number one And I just want to say quickly

Before bringing the guests out That somebody should And maybe they already have Do you think they have, Tony? Somebody should make a porn version of Toy Story And Buzz and Woody can be a vibrator And a dildo Made of wood

That would No one would want to of wood. That would... No one would want to play with them. That would be really sad. You don't have to say anything, Tony. I phrased it like I was asking you a question, and then I just made a dumb joke, and then let's move on.

Please welcome, in addition to Tony Thaxton from Motion City Music. That's the Twitter name. That's the Twitter name, Motion City Music. Please welcome the biggest guest we've ever had and the smallest guest we've ever had. Steve Agee and Ellen Page are here, you guys. Hello. Awesome.

That's all right. I'll take it from here, Doug. Now, you're Steve, correct? Yes. Hi, Ellen. Say something to everybody so that they know your voice. Hey, everybody. Nicely done.

We all, uh, what? Some of the audience yelled some shit. That usually doesn't happen here. We usually get very polite audiences. So, the two of you, Steve Agee and Ellen Pagee. Not the first time I've heard that. Yeah, you said it backstage and I ran with it. You met making

a movie, right? Yep. I met her in January. I can't say we worked on a film. I worked for one day on a movie that her and Rainn Wilson were doing called Super. And in that one day you guys became fast friends? Or did you already know each other?

Ellen, take this. I'll take this. Well, I was always a fan of Steve because... She had no idea who I was. Of course I knew who he was. I'd seen... I love the Sarah Silverman program, and so I knew who Steve was.

And... Right into the mic, Ellen. These microphones are crazy. I've never done a podcast before, so I knew who Steve was. Right into the mic, Ellen. These microphones are crazy. I've never done a podcast before, and Steve said he was taking me to Real Food Daily, and all of a sudden we were here. I told you I'd get her hair. Wait, so you totally tricked her into doing this?

Yep. She never wanted to? Nope. That's a joke. Not that she didn't want to. I didn't want to give her an option of saying no. But I double checked with you. Like, is she cool with coming out and doing this?

Yeah. But yeah, so Steve and I met because we bonded over, you know, laughter. And we started talking about movie ideas. And we were, someone was saying that was saying that we don't need butts, and that's crazy, and we were thinking of all the... It was Rainn Wilson. Yeah, he was wondering why we have asses. Cracks in our butts.

Dubbed so the shit can go out without making you explode. Yeah, and without cracks in our butts, how can we eventually make ourselves into a human centipede? So you guys are writing a whole screenplay about that notion? It's evolved. Yeah, then we started talking. Or Ellen was like, would you just shut up with your butt theories? And we were like, we should write a movie called Butt Theories.

And we would email back and forth ideas and then when we actually got together to like, yeah, we should write something. We're like, not butt theories. Not butt theories. Your first idea, throw that out. Then the next idea, that's going to be genius. Yeah, it is genius.

What kind of theories is it? Is it still theories? No. Don't say anything if you don't want to say anything. Don't give anything away. It's called Avatar. Ellen and I invented this amazing 3D technology.

And we're like, fuck dude, we've got to make a movie forD technology. And we're like, fuck, dude. We've got to make a movie for this technology. Well, I don't know what to say to that, but I will say this. As many listeners know, Dark Knight is one of my favorite movies of all time.

So probably since January 5 or 6 or so of this year, when people ask me, Doug Benson, what are you looking forward to this year? My answer is always Inception. I'm so excited about this movie and excited that you're here and you're in it.

I'm not going to ask you anything about it. Why would you? Well, because first of all, she doesn't talk into the microphone. So no one's going to hear it anyway. I'll take it out. Yeah, pick it up and also put a little heat on hers. Let's fire it up. That's what she said.

Right? Bam. So, no, but also, it's just That's the kind of movie Where When the trailers are on I watch it like this I like Run my hand In front of my face

Like is that Ellen Page I can't tell Because I Am so excited about A movie from Christopher Nolan That like is from You know from wherever

I don't know if it's Based on anything Is it based on a book Or anything No it's totally original And Chris is awesome And I had An amazing time on it Did he write it? Is it based on a book or anything? No, it's totally original and Chris is awesome and I had an amazing time on it. He wrote it, yeah.

Oh, man. It looks so, the trailer. The visuals in it are amazing but it also is, fortunately, it's one of those trailers where you walk out,

you know, after you've seen it, you're still not sure what it is you're going to see and you wish you were seeing that instead of what's about to start. But you know. Which is how I felt

when I saw letters to Juliet. She was saying, you know, there's a scene in the trailer with the two guys fighting in the hallway and it's like they're floating kind of in a matrix-y. That's like not effects. They made a hallway that would rotate.

Hey, can you just... I'm sorry, Ellen. Ellenen ellen utah you're ruining you were actually there no no i don't want you to know she means like like i hate all the behind the scenes stuff on the dvds like i don't want to know how avatar was made like the fact that it was made at all is reason enough for me to not go no but so i'm very excited about Inception. And a couple times I called it Conception because I couldn't remember the name. So I apologize for that in advance. But man, like I saw today,

I saw a commercial for it and Michael Caine is like yelling at you or saying something to you in a Michael Caine sort of way. That must have been amazing having Michael Caine. Yeah. Like, that's crazy. Leonardo DiCaprio as well. sort of way. That must have been amazing, having Michael Caine. That's crazy. Leonardo DiCaprio as well. You must have watched both

of them when you were a child. Yeah. I remember when I was 12 and Titanic came out. It was insane. I was 43 when that came out.

I think I had my first hemorrhoids when Titanic was out Oh because you had to sit there for so long? That too yeah Old Alright well let's talk about Let's move on to Motion pictures that are currently playing That aren't Inception because it's not out yet

Yes Have you been to the movies lately Steve? I think the last motion pictures that are currently playing that aren't Inception because it's not out yet. Yes. Have you been to the movies lately, Steve? I think the last two movies I saw were Date Night and Kick-Ass. So you went to a drive-in? Not together. No, the last two movies I saw. One was Date Night.

You went to a drive-in in April. One was Date Night. And then the other one at a separate time. Because drive-ins don't care about genre mix-ups. You get the craziest combinations at the drive-in. I've never been to a drive-in movie.

Oh, dude, you gotta do it before they're dying. But there's still a couple around, right? And you gotta do it because it's just insane. You see essentially whatever the studio is, Paramount, Columbia, Universal,

you see their movie that opened that day paired with their most recent, their last movie. Right, right. But the genres never match up, so it's always just a weird combination of a J-Lo movie and a... Another J-Lo movie. I don't know. I've totally lost interest in this conversation.

I'll go to a drive-in. Don't worry. I'll take care of it. But you saw Date Night and Kick-Ass, so those are good, right? Date Night was actually pretty funny. And Kick-Ass I loved. Kick-Ass is, you know, Inception's got Kick-Ass to beat as far as I'm concerned for best movie of the year. Yeah.

Because it's amazing. Ellen, have you been to the cinema? Yeah, the last movie I saw was The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which I loved and thought was fantastic. And I read the book. I read the book a while ago. And, you know, it's a big book. And they lost a lot.

But I didn't feel like what they lost, I lost. You thought it was a good adaptation. Sure. Of that long-ass book. And I saw Splice. I thought it was a good adaptation. Sure. Of that long ass book. And I saw Splice and for that I will give a no comment. Oh.

Yeah. Alright. Well you didn't have to bring it up in the first place. I'm alluding to something. I'm not like forcing you to name everything. It's not like you're on

the witness stand or anything. But going back to that last one you were talking about before Splice, which one was it? The girl with the dragon tattoo. Oh, yeah, dragon tattoo. I was just reading about that today in EW, Entertainment Weekly. I was reading that they're banding around your name

for the American version as a potential to play that part. Is that something you'd want to do? Wow, yeah. I mean, that'd be amazing. I think you'd be good, right? Well, that's really nice of you to say. You could have a dragon tattoo just like any other girl. Do you have any tattoos?

I'd be a smaller dragon than some girls, but you know. I have no tattoos and no piercings. Good for you. Let's start a society. You have something, Steve? She's the girl without a dragon tattoo. I've got a dragon tattoo. I can't believe we just lost her the part.

That's such a stupid thing to say. On your resume, you should have tattoos under special skills. Just in case there's a three movie. I bet there are fucking people out there who have that on their resume. I've got tattoos. Tattoos. I have a piercing.

They might come in handy. Yeah. You might need an extra with a dragon tattoo. But so, yes, that's a three movie thing. Fincher's doing the first one with Scott Rudin and I hope you get it. Oh, that's really nice of you to say. I hope you get it too, Ellen. Tony?

Me too. I got you. No, that'd be awesome. They were talking about Scarlett Johansson. She can't do it. She's got other things going on. You know that in the course of the trilogy at some point, or maybe the first book, you could tell me, have you read all three books?

I'm reading the second right now. When does she get a boob job? The beginning of the second. Yeah, she gets a boob job, so Scarlett Johansson's out. Because she's already there. What is she going to do? Have insanely huge boobs? Sorry, Scar Jo.

I'm casting this fucker. And I say it's you and Brad Pitt. Let's go. Let's do it. Tony. I would do it. Oh, you'd play the part? I'd be in the movie.

Well, the dude's not supposed to be handsome. He's supposed to be, like, awesome at getting girls, even though he's a giant, weird, bespectacled, smelly-looking. What? I'll see you at the audition then, Anatoly. No, you won't. I'm not ugly enough to... No.

You misconstrue what I'm saying. I meant... No, I don't. No, in the Swedish version, it's not a handsome guy. It's like a total Steve Age-y type. Keep digging the same hole over and over again.

Hey, wait a minute. Don't go. Oh, yeah, we got to do that game. Yeah. I came for the insults. I stayed for the Leonard Maltin game. I was going to ask Tony, have you been to the cinema at all? I know you're busy touring with the band.

I've been off a lot lately, and I've seen a lot of things. I think the last thing I saw was I was in Virginia over the weekend I went to the $2 theater and saw Nightmare on Elm Street and I don't know about nice I won by $2

yeah I didn't hate it as much as I thought I was going to but I also set the bar as low as humanly possible. The new one. Yeah. The old one's not still playing in theaters. $2?

I'd pay to see part four for $2. But yeah, it was like, I didn't see it, and I talk about movies that I haven't seen as if I have. I just thought, my impression of it was that Jackie Earl Haley was an awesome choice, talk about movies that I haven't seen as if I have. I just thought... My impression of it was that Jackie Earl Haley was an awesome choice, but then they miffed it by not giving him a chance to be

recreated. He was just sort of doing what Robert Englund did. But now it's not Robert Englund. Like I said, I set the bar low, so I wasn't disappointed. But I'm not exactly raving about it either. No, you're not.

No. And what's another one that you saw? Well, I think my favorite thing that I've seen all year, and we've actually talked about this, is Best Worst Movie. Oh, yeah, Best Worst Movie. I've mentioned it on the podcast. That's where they follow around some of the people involved in Troll 2. Oh, my God. That's amazing. And Troll 2 the people involved in Troll 2. Oh, my God.

That's amazing. And Troll 2, unto itself, it's enjoyable. But Best Worst Movie just says you don't have to have seen Troll 2 to appreciate how bad Troll 2 is because you meet the dentist who plays the lead or one of the leads in the movie. And you follow him around. So you see clips from Troll 2 throughout Best Worst Movie. And they did a really good job with that. Another documentary that's coming out this summer that I want to recommend

is called Winnebago Man. Yeah, yeah, and that's where that dude from that whatever that was, like an infomercial or what do you call it? Industrial film. It's like an industrial film for these stupid Winnebagos. He like lost his shit and became like a youtube sensation and in winnebago man they go try and find the dude

and find him well spoiler alert it would be the shittiest movie ever if they never don't tell me how get him to the greek ends i don't want to know that they get him there. They actually do get him there. I saw it. There's like a few moments there where you're like, oh, he's just going to OD or something,

and it's going to have a downer social message at the end, but no, he got to the Greek. And he sang one song as everyone does when they're a rock star in a movie you don't do a whole concert you sing a song you go home has the director of uh best worst movie by any chance

reached out to you because i know you've talked about it that's how i first started talking about it because they sent me a copy i didn't okay yeah because because i talked about it with a friend of mine through twitter and he saw us both talk about it and then he actually contacted me. Apparently he's sending me something in the mail and I have no idea what it's going to be. I don't know if it'll be excited or slightly frightened. It's going to be a troll. Probably a finger. Probably somebody's finger.

Send you a finger. Hey, here's my finger. Yeah. The same one I used to write that text and tweet. It's my tweeting finger. Have any Motion City soundtrack songs been used in a soundtrack as of yet?

A lot of bombs. Really? What's like the worst movie that one of your songs is in? Well, there's some choices. We Hotel for Dogs. Now see, I thought that was a pretty interesting movie because there's kind of a, you know, Don Cheadle's in it.

At the very end, if you stay through the end credits, there's a tease for Hotel Rwanda for Dogs. I love how there's somebody that always is laughing ahead of time. I bet you this is going to be funny, so I'll go ahead and laugh.

I know where this is going. I'm psychic. I didn't say anything. Oh, but you will and it will be grand. Okay, what else? The Bad News Bears remake. Oh, really? okay what else uh the bad news bears remake oh really you've been around that long because that movie's like five or six years ago yeah our first record came out in uh oh three we've been around for a while and uh last year was my uh sort of actual movie debut. Really? We have a poster with our picture on the wall

in Jennifer's body. So I'm technically in that movie in a weird way. So Jennifer listens to you guys? No, her boyfriend or whatever the guy was. What? A dude with a picture of you on his wall? Yeah. He's wearing our shirt in the movie as well.

Oh, wow. He's super into you. Apparently. It's like in Lost Boys. In Corey Haim's room, he's got a picture of Rob Lowe. Yeah. What the fuck is that about? Pulling his shirt up.

Yeah. But it's on the back of his closet, but he leaves the door open all the time. Well, he's got to leave the door open so he can see it. Rob. But his mom might come in and get ideas. Oh, yeah, yeah. Is this why your underwear's so crunchy, Roblo? Think about it.

Stop eating my underwear, Mom. All right, be quiet, audience. It's time for Ellen to talk. I love the Cisco commercials. But what do they want me to buy? Like, what am I supposed to go out and do after seeing them? I have no idea. Really?

I think they have some products. They're like one of the top companies. They're like, if I need to talk to people in another country, or if I need to survey the outside of my building, those are the lessons I've learned from your spots. I'll give you an example of one of the products that I've experienced. They have this thing called telepresence, which is like, you'll go to a place

and in their office they'll have this thing called telepresence set up and you'll have a meeting with people somewhere else also in a telepresence room. And it is so real. It takes,

it took me like 20 minutes into the meeting to like really come to the conclusion that that was happening. Wow. They're trying to have a meeting and you're like, holy shit! Holy shit! really come to the conclusion that that was happening. Wow. They're trying to have a meeting.

You're like, holy shit. Holy shit. Yeah, Ellen, it's great. So we were thinking, holy shit. No, Ellen, we want you to be, holy shit. It was like that a little bit. Did you have to wear special glasses? No, no, you just sit there. Fuck that, right? 3D TVs Did you have to wear special glasses? No, no, you just sit there. Fuck that, right?

3D TVs you have to wear. That looks horrible, right? I want to give you a dumb compliment because I've seen those commercials a million times. I don't know. I watch the channels that show them the most or something. MSNBC shows them a lot. But the one where it looks like you're about to get a ticket on your car,

the move you make to leave and the way they cut on it is fucking awesome. I said the same thing to her. I enjoy it every time, you goddamn giant nerd. I said the same thing to her. I was like,

Ellen, my favorite one is the one where you see your car getting... There's like that move and I think that move is also in a crucial scene in Hard Candy. Oh, maybe. Yeah, because I was watching that today, and something happens,

and you've got to move all of a sudden, and you just have this sudden shift. I just, I'm awkward. I run weird. No, I run weird. There's a movie, a Canadian movie I did called Will Be Wonderful, and I run for the whole beginning of the movie and I just look stupid

We Netflix will be yeah, yeah good movie Sandra O's in it and She's stalking you. Yeah What's so funny is will be wonderful as an ensemble and I don't know if anyone's seen hard candy But Sandra O is literally in it for a scene two scenes maybe and so we've been in two movies together but we've only done two scenes together because in the ensemble our stories didn't overlap that's what you do at the end of something it's not going anywhere just laugh like it was awesome i know know, guys. But we were talking about that backstage. At the beginning of Hard Candy,

you see Sandra Oh. They bill like five actors, even though it's essentially a two-actor movie, but they give billing to three other people. So the whole movie, I'm waiting for other people to show up. And one of them is Sandra Oh. So it's like, when's she going to show up?

And when she finally does, it's like, oh. Because you forgot that she's going to show up, and then she does, and it's like, you you forgot that she's gonna show up and then she does and it's like you just want her out of there yeah she's just there to meddle and mess things up yeah be all curious so yeah so uh so that that must be like a a byproduct of acting in Canada, though. You're going to have to do something with Sandra Oh. She owned Canada for a while. You must have been grateful that she got Grey's Anatomy. Get her out of here for a fucking while.

Everybody knows everyone in Canada in the film world. Not in the whole country, guys. And so it's like it'll be Sandra Oh's in everything, and then Sarah Pauly is, and then Molly Parker, who's on Deadwood. She's awesome. She's in everything now? She's in everything.

Oh, no, she was in everything, and then she went. Who's the new in everything person? Oh, I don't know. I've dropped out of the Canadian film scene. Yeah, you got out of there. Oh. You're the first Academy Award nominee I've had on this podcast. Oh, wow.

Yeah. Also the first person affiliated with Hotel for Dogs. What? First person affiliated with Hotel for Dogs also, probably. Yeah, there's a lot of firsts tonight. I've probably seen the dick and balls of Steve Agee more than any other guest. But that's just because I click on it when he sends me links. Yes.

When am I going to learn? I really do that. Every time it's going to be his dick and balls. I'll send an email of my balls to people with a subject line of, oh my God, you guys, we got to go to this this weekend. And then everyone clicks on it, and all the replies are like, you guys, we gotta go to this this weekend. And then everyone clicks on it, and all the replies are like, you fucking asshole.

Yeah, well, now I'm gonna miss out on some great parties, because I'm not gonna click on it. I'm gonna miss out on some awesome events. Let's play the Leonard Maltin game, you guys. Yeah. There we go. Let's play the Leonard Moulton game you guys Yeah Alright so let's First of all let me pick some contestants For everybody to play for We got Amanda in the catbird seat here

So Steve you're going to be playing for Amanda Alright Try to remember that She's got a nice name tag on like she's at a convention Todd is holding up his name tag like he's in a credit card commercial. I don't leave the house

without Todd. Todd, Ellen will be playing for Todd. And then we have Steve over here. He's got a hat. For the listeners at home I am not sitting in two separate places Oh yeah

Could you change your name just for today Because we already have a Steve No Oh Apparently my dick has something to add To that earlier anecdote The microphone fell on his lap. Here, let me get a picture of that

because people want to see what that looked like. I'm going to make sure we document it. Hang on just a second. Come on, you stupid iPhone. Oh, here we go. Nice hand work I'll send that out later

So people can be confused by it So Tony Steve, you're playing for Steve Ellen's playing for Todd I'm playing for Amanda As long as everybody remembers that we should be good We got some amazing An amazing prize package and of course the two people who come in do lose tonight there are no losers because they get to decide who

I'm gonna call a shithead at the end of the show so please think of who you want me to call a shithead even if you think your person you're paired up with is gonna win because whenever I go who do do you want me to call a shithead? People go, um... Like they want some time to think about it. And that's not going to happen. Tony is an avid listener to the podcast, so he knows how to play the Leonard Mullen game. And Steve, of course, has been

on the program before. So he might know how to play. I've failed at it many times times so I know how to play and this is Ellen's first time so let's start with her start with you Ellen and you get to pick a category today's Meryl Streep's birthday so I named a category after her Meryl Streep movies also I'm gonna be at Zany's In Nashville, Tennessee July 9th through the 11th So another category is Tennessee movies

Movies that take place in Tennessee And then The third category you have to choose from is called In Theaters Now Where we play, yeah, right? Why do old movies? Why not something that's out right now? So what do you think?

You want to go Meryl Streep or Tennessee or in theaters now? I don't know, man. Pick one. What does people want? Whichever one you want. Whatever you want. Which one do you think you'll be better at? Oh, God. Neither. There's three.

Some nerd in the audience says, what, there's three? You can't say neither. Yeah. Go cut that guy's balls off. Go cut his balls off. Okay, Meryl Streep. Meryl Streep, here we go.

She's good, right? I've heard. Whoa, whoa, whoa, Ellen. Ellen totally wants to fight this guy now. Okay, so you get to pick this guy now Okay so You get to pick a year now So that will help narrow it down It's a Meryl Streep movie from

Either 86, 95 Or 2006 2005? Was that what you said? Here we go Oh god 2005? Was that what you said? 2006. Here we go. Oh, God.

It's a great way to win at this game is just tell the other person to name that movie. That's all you got to do to win. Leonard gives this movie three stars. It's from 2006. He calls it a slick adaptation of a best-selling Roman Aclef Yeah, right? Steve's got that right

And there are Ten names To hear from the cast Reading from the bottom up So how many names do you think you would need to hear? Like a good opening bet would be ten names Good way to start Two? Two names? do you think you would need to hear like a good opening bet would be ten names good way to start to two names yeah it's the bottom two it's two people really

small parts okay I'll do it okay so now goes. Tony, you can either bid one name or zero names, or you can say to Ellen Page, name that movie. I think I know what it is. So I'm going to say zero, and I have not seen it, but I think I know what it is. Okay, so Tony says zero names. Now, Steve Agee, you can go negative names. You could say, not only can I name the movie,

I can also name this many people that are in the movie. No, or I could name the movie and just name someone from the list also. Because I'm... Name someone that's in the movie. Yeah, but you have to say how many names you can name. The bidding goes from there.

You'll just say, name that movie? Yeah, name that movie. With zero names, you're going to let him get it? Because you have no idea no I what the fuck of course I have no idea of course I have no idea so 2006

and it's Meryl Streep I was in the hospital I was in the hospital all of 2006 never saw one movie especially a Roman A-Cliff alright so Tony Saxton name that movie in zero names is it Especially a Roman A-Cliff. All right.

So, Tony Saxton, name that movie in zero names. Is it The Devil Wears Prada? That's correct. Never seen it. That's literally one of three Meryl Streep movies I could even think of.

Well, there you go. You stumbled into it and I'm very proud of you. And now I'm going to edit it from my phone because sometimes I play the same movies over and over again because I forget to remove them from the running. Alright, let's go back to you, Ellen, to pick a category again.

Would you like to guess? These are Joan Rivers' favorite movies. On RottenTomatoes.com, Joan Rivers listed her five favorite movies. Wow. And these are three of them. That's amazing.

Movies that take place in Los Angeles or movies that are sequels, number twos, I call them. Joan Rivers. Joan Rivers, Here we go. This is one of her favorite movies. You get to pick the year. They're all kind of old. Her favorite movies are from 56,

77, 77, 2-26. 77 and 78. So 1956, 1977, or 1978. Which year? 56. Yeah, I like that.

All right, Leonard Mullen gives it three stars. That's probably about right. It's from 56. He says it's stagey, but spellbinding. Stagey? What the fuck did he expect from 1956? There's not enough steadicams! All right.

1956, stagey, but spellbinding, and there are... Somebody's getting a call. Somebody's getting the answer. Six names. How many names do you think you can get it in, Ellen Page? I'll try for five. Five names. Tony?

Name it. Name it. I'm sorry. Here we go. I don't get the option to go last? You don't get shit. I would have said name it, too. Okay, you're on the record.

Five names, you might get it. That'd be so cool if I could do this, guys. William Hopper was in this movie? Oh, of course. Evelyn Varden? The great Evelyn Varden It's coming to me Eileen Heckart She's actually a known lady

Henry Jones He's always the guy who'd come in and be like I'm gonna fix the fence And If you were an older person, this would give it away, but I don't think you are old enough. Patty McCormick is the number two billed person in this movie from 1956 that Leonard gave three stars and called stagey but spellbinding.

Oh, God. I don't know. Remade for TV in 1985. Was it still stagey in 85? I bet they really put the pepper in it. I don't know

what that means. Put the pepper in it. I was negative two in 1985. Oh, shit. She didn't even have a guess, probably. No, but I could just think of a movie that might have been made in the 50s.

Yeah, okay. That Joan Rivers would like. Keep on shining. A movie Wait so you made up a movie Yeah Oh okay I thought you'd really pull one out

That Joan Rivers might like Like you knew of a movie about Suicide or What? I'm sorry I've ruined your game No you haven't That was very exciting And I bet you no one here knows it

This is a tough one Shut up! very exciting and I bet you no one here knows that this is a tough one. Shut up! He'll start yelling it out. The lead actress is Nancy Kelly, but Patty McCormick was the young girl who played the bad seed and that's the name of the movie. It's an interesting movie. It's about this little girl who kind of murders people and gets away with it for a while because she's just a little girl. But at the very end of the movie,

the credits, over the end titles, the entire cast comes out and takes a bow almost like, this didn't really happen, don't worry. We're all taking a bow. And then the mother character takes the bad seed and puts her over her knee and gives her a spanking. That's amazing. It's fucking adorable.

But it's kind of a cool movie. I guess they remade it with Macaulay Culkin. Several years later. Many years later. So Tony wins our game with two points, right? I'm sorry I put you in the spot. Nothing personal. He knocked it down. He got one and zero, which means he'll probably come back for a future Leonard Mullen Tournament of Champions.

And yeah, it's very exciting. Let's see. So the winner is Steve. Not the one sitting next to me. Never the one sitting next to me. And man, this is really cool. You got some good stuff. You got, for me,

you get, this is hot off the presses, a Doug Benson's Pot the Vote tour t-shirt. Pot the Vote. I'm going on the Pot the Vote tour.

And here, I'll give it to you all at once. I'm going on the Pot the Vote tour this summer in California starting with July 20th at the Punchline

in Sacramento. And then Steve brought a copy of a Sarah Silverman program script that he signed, and it's one written by Harris Whittles, so it's not a good one. But he's a friend of the show, I can say that. And Ellen wrote the word poop on there for you. And then we also

have a copy of the motion picture Ellen starred in called Whip It, where she played a roller derby phenom. That's the right word for it. You were a phenom in that movie. And she wrote poop on that. She signed her name on that.

And a copy of My Dinosaur Life, my Motion City soundtrack. You win all that stuff, dude. For coming and sitting close to the stage. Thank you. Thanks for your help with that. And now let's go down the line.

Do you have anything that you want to plug coming up while I find out who they want to call shitheads? I'm still in editing for the sequel to Avatar. No. I have maybe season three of the Sarah

Silverman program will come out eventually. That will be the last season to come out. It's alright. You presented it in a really come out. Oh, wow. It's all right. But you presented it in a really fun way. Yeah, yeah. That'll be the last season ever.

Okay. And Ellen, when does Inception come out? July? July 16th. 16th. Yeah, and then... And you're going to do like... Do you have to go around and do a bunch of talk shows

around the time it comes out? Yeah, yeah. I think I do a junket here late this week and then we do a Europe thing and then it comes out here and do some talking. I'm really excited about it.

I think it's going to be pretty cool so I hope people enjoy it. Nice. When's the movie you guys did called Super? When's that coming out? Next year sometime? They're showing some stuff at Comic-Con. Look who didn't talk into the microphone. After giving someone else a hard time about it. Do you have another thing?

People love that bit that he just did off microphone. It's like the live audience loves anything that the listener is going to be like, what the fuck is happening? Super will probably be the end of the year, right? January, maybe. Fair enough. But do you have something else in the can between now and then? No, I narrated a documentary called Vanishing of the Bees.

Yeah, so that's about how bees are disappearing. How many are left? Bee Arthur was the most recent. People named Bee are dying in an alarming rate. No, it's the bumblebees, which is actually very serious.

Yes, of course. Yes, yes. Seinfeld was busy, so Ellen did the... He did that dumb B movie. All right. And Tony, what do you got coming up? You're on tour with the band? Yeah.

Friday, I start the Warped Tour. I'm on that for about a month. Oh, okay. So yeah, so go see Motion City Soundtrack on the Warped Tour and then track Tony down after the show and be like, hey listen, I love movies. And he'll be like, it's called Doug Loves Movies now. Because he's a stickler like that.

I'm going to be, as I mentioned, I'm going to be at Zany's in Nashville July 9th through 11th. I'm going to do the Benson Interruption at Largo July 12th at Largo in LA. And the Pot the Vote Tour starts at the Sacramento Punchline on July 20th. Thank you to Tony Thaxton, Ellen Page, and Steve Agee.
