Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seats with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies!
Hey everybody! I don't even need this microphone really.
I mean I do, cause we're gonna record a a podcast but it doesn't need to be terribly hot because
oh well let's start from the top you guys, let's not get out of order here.
My name is Doug and I love movies.
I knew that one might be a little sloppy in the terms of the whole audience being in unison,
but we're coming to you from theater number 10
at the Lakeline Alamo Drafthouse in North Austin, Texas.
Yeah, for the most intimate Doug Loves Movies ever.
They say, and with the folks standing around on the sides, we've got a whopping 39 to 40 people here for this special edition.
Fantastic Fest edition.
So I'm totally going to blame you guys if no one likes this episode.
I'm going to say they did not laugh hard enough to be...
You know what I mean.
To be heard. Like right there, the listeners
probably heard silence.
And there they just heard a little
bit of something. Sounded like someone was choking.
Because I don't think we're even...
The only way we're recording you guys
is through these mics up here,
so you have to be like two times as loud
and don't even bother.
I'm fine with it just being a really mellow episode.
I'll get some tweets, you know,
like, it sounded like they weren't laughing.
What's wrong with them?
And I'll write back, you're the problem.
and laughing. What's wrong with them?
And I'll write back, you're the problem.
It's Friday,
September 20th at 420-ish and we're
here at the Fantastic Fest,
the festival named
because of what it is.
Yeah, it celebrates
fantastic films.
This sounds like I'm reading copy.
But they are not an advertiser.
They just let me come down here and enjoy.
I have such a great time every time I come here.
And thank you to all of you who came to this particular event
instead of going to see Detective Downs
because that movie looks amazing.
I cannot wait to see.
It's a movie about a detective who has Down syndrome
and it's supposedly awesome.
But I don't even care, sir.
That the listeners probably didn't hear.
I don't care that you confirm
that it's awesome
because it could be terrible
and I'm in.
Like it's like that's a foolproof premise.
You know what I mean?
You're going to be either laughing at it or with it.
What difference does it make?
But, yeah, I can't wait to see that.
I think they'll show it again at another time.
Last night I got to see Machete Kills, which was a lot of fun.
Last night I got to see Machete Kills, which was a lot of fun.
Even though, did it bother anybody that the characters in the film didn't seem to be able to agree on how to pronounce Machete?
Like he'd be like, I'm Machete.
And then Mel Gibson would be like, well, Machete over here.
Or no wait, I said it the same way twice, didn't I?
They'd do more of a Machete, machete, and he'd go machete.
And they would always pronounce it wrong, and it kind of bothered me.
But then I thought it'd be funny if every other character got it wrong, but then some people got it right.
Some people would be like machete, and he'd be like yes.
Maybe that's the only times he says machete is when somebody goes, so machete is going to help us out with this.
It's machete. Machete.
That's my theory. I'm'm gonna have to watch it again because i uh i really did enjoy it and i also enjoyed holy crap did you guys see the dirties last night funniest school shooting
movie ever i'm gonna say it right now in fact there should be no others but let's take
a moment and just say let's stop the serial killings at schools movies that's
the least we could do but this one it's so funny I'm looking into this camera
over here like this is a TV show. I'm a professional, you guys.
Yeah.
Did you guys bring name tags by any chance?
We got some?
Okay, good.
And everybody has a badge because it's a festival.
So that's awesome.
Isn't it funny that film festivals, everybody has badges,
and there was that classic movie where that guy was like,
what did he say?
He said something like, take my wife, please.
We don't need those sticky badges, that's right.
Is that a seat right there, that folding chair?
Could somebody go out into the lobby and find someone?
Because, you know, when there's only 36 fucking seats,
I demand a sellout
i demand that there's an ass in every chair i love how fast that guy got got up and ran out
there to do that that was a little too that felt like uh like i lived in the olden times
we could do that to people i guess if you're a boss you can i've never been the
boss of anybody really Except for our three guests
tonight. Yeah,
segue.
Lots of fun stuff in the gift bag.
We've got a comic book
called Buffalo Speedway. I believe
it's volume two of that.
Oh, some clapping for that. A poster
that I'll show you in a second when
he gets out here. A copy of
Gateway Doug, my CD.
And, oh, what's this?
Oh, it's a nice, luxurious...
Oh, a friend of mine got this seat.
That worked out great.
Perfect.
Doug loves movies.
He's from the Friars Club Film Festival, you guys.
Annual event in New York
where we showed Greatest Movie movie ever rolled there last year.
What else is in here?
Oh, I've got some How to Play the Leonard Maltin game cards just in case.
I just dropped one on the floor.
So forget it.
I'm not going to take the time to pick it up.
Oh, I think the guests are going to bring some stuff out.
Oh, and I've also got some buttons from Fuzzy Balls Apparel.
And all that can be yours tonight
if you did bring a name tag
or if one of my guests enjoys your badge.
Please give a big warm welcome
to Chris Cubis, Ty West, and Jeff Dye,
ladies and gentlemen.
36 strong, giving it up for the guests.
Sit wherever you like. We'll just leave the one down up for the guests. Sit wherever you like.
We'll just leave the one down there on the end.
Yeah, sit closest to me and leave that one over there open.
We do have one extra chair and microphone
because Elijah Wood comes to Fantastic Fest every year.
He's a very good sport about participating.
I think on Sunday night he's gonna
or maybe tonight?
Saturday night he's gonna box somebody.
Yeah, so that's
gotta love him for that.
So we're leaving
a seat and the door open
for Elijah.
More got that joke than you thought.
I've been saying that joke to everybody that works at Fantastic Fest
and they all stare at me
like yes of course we do that
that's what we do here
we leave the door open for Elijah
every Jew in Texas is in this room right now
all 36 of them
yeah so that's the plan
is that Elijah Wood has a free pass
to just walk in and come over here
and sit down
and participate in the podcast. And I know we're just 36, 39 people, maybe 41 if you count.
I'm counting. No, I'm not counting you because you just left. But oh, now you're back in. But
with these three, too, we got a crew and everything. A guy just standing there. What's your deal?
You just walked in
Good luck with that, there's fire laws
No, I think you'll be fine over there
It's comfortable
What was I talking about?
Elijah Wood crashing the joint
Yeah
Let's all pray that it happens.
I just got word, unfortunately,
he's busy eating Carla Gugino's hand out back.
No, really?
Nobody likes Cincinnati?
Fuck you guys.
Sorry, he's walking his dog.
Do I need a new, more recent Elijah Wood reference for you guys?
I'll just tell you right now that if he walks in
and sits down and gets comfortable,
I am going to ask him,
why would any woman go out with you
if she's seen Sin City?
Because he's so fucking creepy in it.
And then he's probably going to give me that look
and you guys are going to see
how probably something's going to happen.
Do you think Elijah Wood has that rule
for anything in life?
He knows he can just walk in. He could come into my house and be like, yeah, it's Elijah Wood. I rule for anything in life? He knows he can just walk into...
He could come into my house and be like,
yeah, it's Elijah Wood. I'm not going to get mad.
No, but you're going to get scared.
There's a lot of Radio Flyer fans out there.
Elijah Wood is so powerful with his mind and his eyes
that...
Have you seen that show where he makes a dog talk?
That guy's got skills.
But speaking of skills, let me introduce my guests here today.
The ones that, you know, we're not sitting around hoping show up.
They did, and they're great.
Local stand-up comedy phenom, soon-to-be Kansas City phenom,
Chris Cubis is here, everybody.
Hello.
That is me.
Also sitting up in front of us
is a gentleman who's performing this weekend
at Cap City Comedy,
so I jumped on the chance to have him
sit in and jam with us.
And a very funny comedian who's,
what's your program on MTV called?
Because you know I'm too old for MTV.
I have a show called Money from Strangers
and another show called Girl Code.
I've been telling people
your show's called
Money for Nothing.
I have.
And then I sing
the Dire Straits song.
You can still do that.
Money from strangers
and the sex for free.
Whatever gets people to watch.
I'll do it.
All right, cool.
So that's Jeff Dye
and thank you for being here.
And I'm excited he's here because he directed a movie
that was a late addition here at this festival.
But this isn't the first place it's playing.
No, it premiered at Venice and then Toronto,
and now we're here.
But this is the U.S. premiere,
so we're holding it down for America.
U.S.A.
Yeah, there you go.
U.S.A.
U.S.A.
Sorry, I get really patriotic.
Didn't even get everybody, though. Yeah, just like I. U.S.A. U.S.A. Sorry, I get really patriotic. Didn't even get everybody, though.
Yeah, just like, thank you.
The lighting in here is such that I just...
We got about 16 out of 38 on that one.
You know, normally when we're in comedy clubs, Ty, the other of us,
when we are doing our stand-up comedy, the lights are down.
So, like, you're only hearing audio judgment or lack of it.
And to see all of the faces like we do right now, it's really quite a challenge.
Terrifying.
Terrifying.
I just look around at people that just seem dejected, like the guy with his head on his hand.
You're just relaxed, but it looks like I'm giving a lecture.
Oh, we got more people?
You just thought you'd just come in and stand there?
Good call.
Let's go back to the notes.
Let's not get too far off track. We gotta talk
about the movie that Ty did.
It's called The Sacrament, and it's
playing tonight here at
Fantastic Fest.
And for the gift bag,
he brought a poster
for The Sacrament,
and also I just still happen
to have one of these,
one of the plastic,
old-style key chain things
for a hotel room,
and that room, of course,
is the crucial room,
five through five. How many people have seen The Shine? No
it's a motion picture called
The Innkeepers
it's very exciting
all the kind of people running around
and involved with
you and your films
like Pat Healy is here
for Cheap Thrills in which he
also appears with his co-star
in The Innkeepers, Sarah Paxton.
So that's awesome.
you
were you here last year when Joe Swanberg
boxed? Yeah, I was his trainer.
You know, I should know that.
I was there
and it was the most amazing thing I ever saw
he really
who took a beating Devin
Devin Ferracci took quite a beating
but he was great today
he did a Q&A Devin did
after
Escape from Tomorrow
and he was great by the end of it
both of the other dudes he was interviewing
were knocked out yeah not technical knockout like flat out knocked out so he's getting better
that'd be great if every q a was just fighting like let's get some questions from the audience
and then who wants to fight this guy um so you were his trainer and it uh it paid off he really
uh took him out wasn't isn't he like a whole foot taller than Devin?
He might be.
He seemed bigger to me.
What a trainer.
I don't know.
He grew a lot in the last year.
Yeah, he's got some height on him.
We used the reach.
That was our plan.
Really?
So they don't take the weight classes seriously in the filmmaker fighting divisions?
Is it by genre and not by weight class?
I think Elijah's fighting somebody.
He fought a few years ago, right?
He fought Dominic Monaghan,
and that didn't work out for him.
He won't be back again with Monaghan.
Who's he fighting this year?
I don't know.
The other Hobbit. I'd like to fight him.
Oh, you want to? Jeff would like
to do it. But Jeff has two shows tonight
at the Cap City Comedy Club.
That's my prize. And Saturday
night. Free tickets?
Free tickets to the show, but I just made it on a coupon.
Your prize is, you guys have to
drag your asses away from a film festival
that you're attending to go watch a comedy show about 30 minutes from here.
Also, I'm good friends with Nick Thune, who will be there next week,
and I bet you could probably use it for his.
Could they use those for Thune?
I'd recommend that anyway.
You know, if I was doing a Watch This, Not That between you and Nick Thune,
do you play a guitar at all on your set?
That doesn't hurt my feelings at all.
You don't have a guitar?
What's that?
No guitar in your act?
No guitar in mine.
Just jokes, baby.
Just jokes.
Yeah, no, he's twice as good.
I like Nick, too, but that makes me upset.
He's twice as good as me?
I'd say he's twice as good as Chris, but look at Chris.
Yeah.
He's got an amazing style.
This is good probably just for me, but I might be able to swing it if you want to see Nick Thune next week, too. Also, I'll totally fight Nick Thune. I'm going's got an amazing style. This is good probably just for me, but I can might be able to
swing it if you want to see Nick Thune next week
to also I'll totally write it on there. I just
find Nick Thune start a comic
fighting thing skinny little bastard.
I'm just gonna
yeah, he's thin.
He's a very nice man. I apologize
much more famous than I
am. He's a bastard.
I'll back you up.
We all find out sooner or later.
I'm so proud of that one.
That's because I love...
He has fun with it.
I love the title of his album, Thick Noon.
Yeah, it's good.
Guy in the front row.
Front row doesn't like puns, evidently.
Doug Benson says this is good for Nick Thune.
Can't wait until that gets turned in.
And then I'm going to put a big X through.
Oh, Jeff didn't even put his name on it.
I signed it at the bottom.
Oh, okay.
That's nice.
Because that way Chandy knows she's the manager.
It'll be a nice keepsake.
Yeah, but I can't wait until that gets turned in.
They're going to be like, what is this?
What the hell is this?
You're the most psychotic.
Crazy.
That's the craziest attempt to get in for free.
How dare you try to get into our place
where we're going to still charge you for drinks.
But that's a great prize, though.
Go see Nick Thune next weekend.
It's a good prize.
It's a good prize.
I mean, if you want to go see Jeff
this weekend, that's what I think
you should do, but you're here
at this festival. Aren't you guys going to see movies later
tonight?
You guys don't even seem excited about that!
Yeah, blow off the sacrament,
which is a couple feet from here,
and go out into that monsoon.
I'm just optimistic
I can get as big a crowd.
And float on over to Cap City,
the comedy club in a mall.
It's only an hour away.
They had a restaurant in that mall called Dracula,
and it closed. If you can't keep a restaurant called Dracula
open, that's a
weird spot.
But Cap City just keeps
going strong. Was it a Dracula
themed restaurant? No, it was
Romania.
There was the problem. They should have just gone
right for the throat.
This is a grown, heavy episode of Douglas movies.
I'm so glad the audience isn't mic'd.
It's been a lot of wordplay today.
A lot of wordplay.
I'm glad the audience isn't mic'd.
That's all I'm saying.
Your vote doesn't count this time.
But your faces sure do.
I got a good prize.
I'm telling you, I'm looking at everybody.
I know half of you.
I want to change my prize to a bucket of Arrowhead.
No, what is that?
Some bottled water.
Can we give away the bucket?
Sure, let's give it to them.
We should ask somebody that works here.
You're famous, Doug.
Oh, okay.
It's a sponsor crisis.
Yeah, just give away that.
This is my new prize.
Bucket of water.
Let me get one out of there first.
Nope. All right, it's five now. All right. But that's part of the prize Yeah, just give away that. This is my new prize. Bucket of water. Let me get one out of there first. Nope.
All right, it's five now.
All right.
But that's part of the prize instead of Nick Thune tickets.
No, Nick Thune too.
Let's put all the prizes in the bucket of ice water.
Not the poster.
Worst Easter ever.
Easter ever.
No, I'll keep it.
That might void the coupon.
I'll keep the Nick's coupon dry.
I'll keep it dry.
It's going to be a bookmark.
It's going to be fine.
I think we're almost out of time, you guys.
I got a prize.
Can I tell them about the prize?
Sure The good folks at Transmission
Oh this is good
It's a good prize
And it's not this weekend
Free pass to Fun Fun Fun Fest
Anybody wants to go?
Three day pass
Tenacious D, Patton Oswalt
All kinds of bands
So just whoever wins come see me
And I gotta get your information
Can I just climb into that bucket of ice water And get out of this somehow? Plans, fucking, yeah. So just whoever wins, come see me, and I've got to get your information, and we'll do that. Yeah, I think...
Can I just climb into that bucket of ice water
and get out of this somehow?
I'm going to be at an outdoor and an indoor show,
and both times I'm going to be opening for, amongst others,
but the headlining attraction is going to be Tenacious D.
So, yeah.
So I can't wait to do it,
because there's going to be those people crowded at the front of the stage that, you know, don't know me or don't like me who are just waiting for Tenacious D and got a good spot.
And I'm going to talk about that the whole time.
I'm just going to talk about how bummed out they are.
Or maybe that'll entertain them.
Like the guy that had his hand on his fist, he's looking happier now.
People need to be kept in line.
What a rude thing to say.
You guys had to go to so much effort. You like won
a lottery to get in here. I bet
at least 50 people wanted to come.
And so they're all
outside in a monsoon.
Oh, now he's
going off.
I knew I could tell early on that guy was going to be a problem.
I thought it was going to be snoring, honestly.
I thought it was going to be a problem.
He looked sleepy.
No, he went the other way.
That's what happens.
He got aggressive.
Yeah, when you're, you know, you're either going to pass out or make a situation happen.
He's live trolling right now.
How's that going to grow?
It is like the weirdest...
Not going to read on this audience today.
It's just, I think once people start...
Growns are like yawns.
Once people start doing them, they're all assholes.
That wasn't a pun. That wasn't wordplay.
I thought it was pretty good.
It was great.
Let's just all be glad that Elijah wasn't here.
Hey, let's just pretend Elijah is here, but he just doesn't want to say anything.
It's an audio podcast.
No one needs to know.
But, Ty, not only have you directed the sacrament here tonight,
but you've also directed the aforementioned The Innkeepers,
House of the Devil,
and you just found out
that you have something else on the horizon
that you can talk about?
No.
No, but I think...
Did you tell me?
No, I think you were referring to...
You told me at like 425 today.
Well, that we just sold the movie to Magnolia,
which was a very exciting development for us.
Thank you.
So this is my fifth movie with Magnolia, and I think that's what
you were wondering if it was fair to talk about, which it is.
I would like to say that, yes,
I have something else I'm going to do in the spring, but
let's keep our fingers crossed for the time being.
It's too early for that. That's cool.
But you also
appeared, I just saw, just
kind of randomly, I was here last
night before, or
Wednesday night before the festival started,
so I went and saw Drinking Buddies right here.
Is there a better place to watch a movie about a brewery
than in Alamo Drafthouse?
I was drinking vodka, but still, it had to be made somewhere.
And so it was fun to watch, but also you are an actor in that movie.
Yes, that's what happens when you become friends with about two people.
Joe Swanberg and Adam Wingard, you get to be in their movies.
Oh, okay.
So if I had more friends, maybe I'd have an illustrious acting career.
But for the time being, I'm just keeping it local.
I've pinned Joe down to appear on my podcast soon.
You should get the whole group of drinking buddies.
So then I'll be in his next movie.
It'll be great.
I think that's a good call.
I've tried to get all the drinking buddies.
They're so hard to pin down. They've got TV shows and movies. They're alcoholics whole group of drinking buddies. So then I'll be in his next movie. It'll be great. I think that's a good call. I've tried to get all the drinking buddies. They're so hard to pin down.
They've got TV shows and movies. They're alcoholics.
And they're drinking. They're doing a lot of drinking. But I got to see it
and I got to feel excited for
you and yet also sad for you at the same
time because your character
throws down with Olivia
Wilde off camera.
Now the question is, did you guys
method it out and just go ahead
and have the sex? Well, it's funny because if anyone's
familiar with Joe Swanberg, he's made a whole career out of
graphic sex scenes.
And so, when he was like,
you're going to get to sleep a little bit wild
in this movie, I was like, alright.
Wow, that's good. You really contained your excitement
nicely. He was like, but it's off screen.
It's like the way this audience has reacted to everything.
Lacklusterly. Lacklusterly. I guess so.
Yes.
Well, being that he's my friend.
No, he groaned when he got that news.
You're going to have sex with Olivia Long.
Oh.
What?
All right.
Being such good friends with Joe, I knew that it would never come to fruition in the way
that I had imagined.
So it is the way you got to see it.
Yeah.
Still happy to be able to claim that.
He boned you and not boned you at the same time.
That's correct.
Yeah, but it was still,
I would certainly be more than happy to settle for that
because at least you have a scene
where you're pretty cozy with her.
It's true.
That must have been fun to shoot.
Yeah, we did get to touch the arms side by side.
You know, it's so funny that you say that out loud
because that's exactly
what I remember and what I thought
as I was watching it. I got to rub his arm
against her. That's pretty
sweet. Jason Sudeikis
is on the set just eyeballing
you. Yeah. We got to drink a lot of
Malort. I don't know if anyone's familiar with Malort. It's a very
Chicago drink.
I have a friend
that says it tastes like how crack tastes, I have a friend that says
it tastes like how crack smells.
It's fucking awful.
I highly recommend
if anyone makes their way
to Chicago
to drink some Malort
because it is a,
It's good?
Do you like it?
I love it,
but it's actually
one of the most disgusting
liqueurs that exists
on the planet.
The way you moaned,
it tastes like a pun.
Oh my God,
I've got wordplay in my mouth.
Tastes like a
khaki joke.
I think the slogan is, it kicks your mouth in the balls.
I know when
they rebranded it, a friend of mine, he came in
second for it, and his was, Malort, these
pants aren't going to shit themselves.
But he came in second,
so sadly we don't get to experience that.
What kind of taste does it have?
Is it like a Jaeger?
It's not really like anything.
It's this weird wormwood.
Wormwood?
That's what it's made of.
I think Jason Sudeikis in the movie describes it as a burnt condom
full of gasoline, something.
Nobody's comparing it to something I would actually put in my mouth
I've never tasted balls I don't
know what wormwood is
now's your chance for Malort
you get it all at once
who hasn't tasted a burnt condom
it's a horrible commercial for this
holy shit look at the time
I always like to ask
everybody what they've seen lately so can we just go through that quickly have you been holy shit look at the time I always like to ask everybody
what they've seen lately so can we just go
through that quickly have you been to the
with all your busy schedules
have you guys been to the cinema
or watch it on your laptop you know
VOD whatever I saw
a movie called The Double which is by Richard
Iwata who did that movie Submarine I don't know if anyone
saw that and it's with
Jesse Eisenberg and I thought it was really great. It's this very dystopian
comedy about
loneliness and suicide. You saw that
at a festival? I saw that at Toronto. Hopefully
it'll be acquired and come your way very soon.
Nice.
I saw, just last night, I watched a documentary.
I think it's called If a Tree Falls.
It's a documentary about the...
I'm from Seattle.
Yeah.
But it's about the EL I'm from Seattle. So it was... Yeah. Oh, man.
But it's about the ELF,
the people who burnt all those logging places
and all the people that were trying to kill all the forest.
So it's kind of a romp?
It was really good, man.
Kind of lighthearted.
They're all getting prosecuted for, like, eco-terrorism,
but it's like their whole statement
was that loggers are the eco-terrorists and so it was just a really good movie about like
i don't know i thought it was really good about like just people who are trying to do the right
thing and protesting it was about the wto and all that shit all of it but yeah all those initials
that i'm sure are bad but i really don't know what any of it means i'm telling you oh the el
elo what was it there youF. There you go.
Elf.
It was easy to remember because I love elves.
I saw The World's End, which was awesome, of course. That's a great movie.
Oh, something more than one person has seen.
And then I saw...
Should have picked the movie that got clapped.
Yeah, but you see, you're preaching to the converted.
I know.
They all know about that one.
Tell us about something we don't know.
Drafthouse Films.
I just watched This Means War.
Awesome.
Guys, I want to see that.
I guess it was last year.
Fantastic Fest, I guess.
I don't like war.
I just saw it.
It was awesome.
I declare war.
You know what I fucking meant.
I don't like war.
You wooed and then you corrected me?
Come on.
Wait, you didn't call it This Means War, did you?
I totally did. That's exactly what I called it. Oh, my God. That's This Means War, did you? I totally did.
That's exactly what I called it.
Oh, my God.
That's so funny that we all had that enthusiasm for that movie.
You're like, yeah.
Then, ugh, sorry.
Fuck that one up.
Everybody knew what you meant, so we just cheered anyway.
Good work.
Oh, that movie looks great.
I've only seen the trailer.
It's great.
It's so good.
Those kids are amazing.
Normally, the kid actors are terrible, but they're flawless. They're all perfect.
Every one of them. Full disclosure, we work
for Drafthouse. That's true.
I do get a salary. It does look
amazing. I saw
the Disney
Escape from Tomorrow
today.
And yeah.
It's like, just the fact
that they made it is the thing that makes me
super happy about it
and oh shit I forgot to do
a tweet relief earlier
it's a pretty good one
let's just do it right now
at master soundwave tweeted
I want to start a kickstarter to have
Werner Herzog redubbed the VO from the wonder years
this has been tweet relief tweets about old TV shows Werner Herzog, redubbed the VO from The Wonder Years.
This has been Tweet Relief, tweets about old TV shows.
Forgot to do that.
What a shame.
But yeah, they shot an entire movie inside Disney World,
or most of a movie.
They did some green screen stuff and scenes that were supposed to be
at some sort of Disney resort that may not have been.
But nonetheless, it's like the fact that it exists
is enough for me to give it a recommendation,
especially if you love or hate Disneyland,
because it can go either way.
It's a way you've never experienced or seen Disneyland,
and just the idea, if you like movies,
of just thinking about the logistical
nightmare that it is
to shoot, you know,
very short scenes under the
idea that they could get caught at any
moment and told to stop.
They got through the whole,
the entire movie takes place inside the
Disney World Resorts.
And it's kind of funny, but it's really weird.
It takes some weird turns.
So it's like if you're hoping for them to just tell a regular story inside Disney World,
then that's not what you're going to get.
But I think that's why Disney World is not going to sue.
It's because it's such an esoteric thing.
It's like if Disney sued because somebody did a painting
of Mickey Mouse on a cross.
Right? You could get away with that, right?
Because it's what...
Is that considered parody, I guess?
Satire?
No matter how you look at it, it's hilarious.
Because for one thing, he's only got four fingers.
So that's funny to look at.
And what comes out of those big puffy,
maybe it's just feathers coming out of his big fluffy gloves.
Somebody's going to paint this, so I'm describing it.
Well, I already have it as a tattoo.
Just to get it right.
So anyway, like I was saying,
we're way too behind to ask everybody what movie they've seen.
So let's just skip that part.
And let's get right to the meat of what we're here for,
especially because there's three or four people with name tags in the audience.
So if we could see your name tags.
Really, Sleepy Dude?
Yeah, I think I know which one I want.
Let the games begin.
Can I grab mine now? Everybody go
physically grab the name tag you want to play for.
You can take their badge and use it for the rest
of the festival if that's the sort
of thing you're into. And while you guys
do that, we'll do this. We'll be right back.
We're back.
Who are you playing for, Ty?
I'm playing for Kara from Brooklyn.
Alright, you just took her name tag,
her festival badge.
I'm playing for the sleepy gentleman.
Jeff, I'm not done
describing the badge.
Because she did, what's that called?
Flappy face? Shaky face.
Why is it called flappy face?
This crowd is
real smug.
It's shaky face, stupid.
This is the fun of Fantastic Fest.
They do things like this for your badge.
They ask you to flap your face back and forth as fast as you can
and take a picture of it and then use that as your badge.
You're what I call Flappy Face, but they call it Shaky Face.
That'll confirm your identity. It gives you a headache
for at least half a day. Oh, yeah. See, I can't
do it. I just don't want to subject
myself to that. So I put my new album
cover on there. Gateway
Doug available on iTunes.
That's pretty much it. iTunes.
You can get it on my website.
Okay, Jeff. I'm sorry. What's your
giant name tag? I'm playing for the guy that we thought
hated us who's sleeping. It's a giant thing of Dune, and it I'm sorry. What's your giant name tag? I'm playing for the guy that we thought hated us who's sleeping.
It's a giant thing of Dune, and it makes me happy.
It's big.
Last time I was on the show, I got a Tyler Stout poster that was from Total Recall.
It was just cool.
I just picked the coolest one that I want to keep.
Well, I was hoping you'd pick Jeremowski's Dune because it's Jeremy is his name
and I actually met him
earlier. I just read Dune.
And he told me about this name tag.
It's a play on a title of
a movie that's playing here at the festival
and what's that movie called?
Jodorowsky's Dune.
This is Dune.
Yeah, and this is Jeremowski's Dune.
So now that that's
been explained...
If he growls at a pun, I'm
punching him in his face.
Yeah, no one is satisfied with that
explanation, but
I'm happy to
have been able to provide it. I'm glad
you both got in, too. They both
wanted to come in. I'm a simple man. Only had
one ticket.
But yeah, it was a good choice, Jeff.
Thank you.
Chris, what do you got?
I'm playing for...
You got probably the worst choice of the three,
or maybe a toss-up with Ties.
At least he tried.
You just took a name badge.
Yeah, Jeff did the best out of...
That's just a pun.
...four free tickets to see Thune in two weeks
is what that looks like.
It's Misty, I'm assuming.
It's a play Misty for me.
Clint Eastwood, the knife and blood. Oh, okay, Misty, I'm assuming. It's a play Misty for me. Clint Eastwood, the knife
and blood. Oh, okay. Misty. I'm glad
you picked Misty.
It's on the back of her tickets to movies here.
Did I tell you to do that? No.
I told you to make a name tag though, right?
Yeah, because Misty...
That's why I realized right away who it was.
Misty gave me
a ride. What's his name away who it was. Misty gave me a ride.
What's his name?
Jeff and Misty gave me a ride from the hotel to here because it was raining and the shuttle wasn't coming.
And she said that she had forgotten her name tag back at home,
but they'd seen me several times.
I think my advice was ride it on your ticket.
Now every time you go to the airport,
she's going to want to pick you up, just like in the movie.
You won't be able to shake her.
Yeah.
Nobody saw that movie.
That's just me and Clint Eastwood laughing at that one.
I got it. I'm with you, Ty.
Oh, play Misty for me. I get it.
See what happens?
All right, so I'm glad
your name tag got picked, Misty,
and Jeff, I'll see you out in front of the hotel at 1040 tomorrow.
I like riding with your child stuff in the back.
It's called a child, Doug.
It's not child stuff.
Hey, yeah, did you, for tonight, did you crack a window?
Is that where Elijah Wood is?
In the kitty seat?
I don't think Elijah's going to come.
Oh, no, no.
This is sad.
But now would be a bad time for him to show up anyway.
But you know what?
I'm going to list him on the episode.
First name up.
I'm going to say Elijah Wood.
And then people, they'll wait.
Like when they're listening at this point, they'll be like, well, Doug's saying he's not coming.
But maybe he still is because it says his name on the thing.
And then they're going to be like, but Doug just said that he just put that on there anyway.
So now we really don't know what's going to be like, but Doug just said that he just put that on there anyway. So now we really
don't know what's going to happen.
Could go in any direction.
One thing we know that is going to happen is we're going to
play the Leonard Maltin game because
yes.
Because these are polite guests
that, you know,
we'll be able to get this done in time
and properly.
And some of you are pretty good at it too.
I think all of you are all right at it.
Chris Cubis is qualified for the next round of the Tournament of Championships.
So we got to get him out to L.A. or something,
or maybe I should have dragged two other people here today.
That's neither here nor there.
Who are we going to have
go first? I guess we should have...
I got it. I'll just jump...
Ty wants to go first.
And then we'll go to
Chris, and then
to Jeff, because Jeff seemed the most reluctant
to participate.
Yeah, I don't know a lot of stuff.
You did good that time we played in Seattle though.
Yeah, it was strategy.
Oh, that's why you want to go third.
Important part of the game.
I get it.
You want to win like a coward? That's just fine. Oh, come on.
That's offensive.
Is it offensive to cowards, Jeff?
All cowards everywhere just went, what a dick.
I'm a pacifist, not a coward.
So you get to pick a category, Ty.
Would you like Inconceivable?
And that's movies that have infertile women in them.
And that's movies that have infertile women in them.
Joe Mama.
That's movies that have Joe or Mama in the title.
And then Golden Shower's P-Book.
And that's movies that begin with P.
Not someone doing that, but the letter P.
I'll go Joe Mama.
Alright.
2001 is the year.
One and a half stars from Leonard.
He says about this movie
that
wait a second.
One and a half stars and then he says it has charming
parts?
Oh, I see, sarcasm.
Okay, let me read that again.
So he says it's charming,
and he also says that Carson Daly appears on Build,
Carson Daly appears on Build and
and that
somebody else that's in the movie
may wish that he had done the same.
I love that we're doing this show
waiting for Elijah in a room where
someone has to burst through that door to deliver
drinks every minute or so
because it gets my attention every single time.
You're doing a great job.
Thank you.
Let's hear it for him.
Bringing out the Bevs.
Do I need anything else?
Look at me.
I've got two half drinks here.
You know what?
Because I'm talking so much I don't have time to drink.
You know we're playing a game right now, right?
Like you guys, the staff here is known for not being...
Speaking of which, I'll take one more.
Oh, Chris needs something.
I'll take a Devil's Back one.
Thank you.
All right.
And also, he wants you to enter the Kevin Bacon lookalike contest.
And seriously, you can't dance in this county.
Welcome to another edition of Movie Snaps.
What were we talking about, Ty?
We were talking about how I could do this in zero names.
And it's Joe Mama.
Here we are.
It's Joe Mama, which is Joe or Mama in the names. Oh! And it's Joe Mama. Here we are. It's Joe Mama,
which is Joe or Mama
in the title.
2001.
Yeah.
What are you going to do
with that, Chris?
Can you go negative names?
I'm going to go
negative one name.
He goes negative one.
So then where does
that put Jeff?
Where does Jeff at?
I can do it in three names.
Wait, what?
Negative.
Do you know how
negative names work?
Yeah, I was just teasing.
Okay.
Because if you go negative three, you've got to name the top three people in the order as listed by letter.
I can't do it.
Yeah, so you might just have to hope that Chris has got the wrong movie in mind.
I very well may, but I'm just going for it.
Or doesn't know who starred in it or whatever.
That's what I'm going to do.
Okay, so say Chris Cubis, name that movie.
Yo, Chris Cubis, motherfucker, name that movie.
Yeah, see.
I didn't say to add all those words to you, Andy.
You have to name the one name.
I got to name the one name and the movie, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, but I'm not going to tell you if you're right
until we hear all of them.
I know.
All right, let's do it.
All right, I'm taking a stab at it.
I'm going to say Joe Dirt, David Spade.
Okay, then I'm wrong.
What's wrong with this audience?
That's correct.
Yeah!
Nice job, man.
I just like that they were so cocky.
What did you guys...
They were so cocky.
What did you think it was?
It was Carson Daly on a rampage?
How many people...
That's where I was going to go.
Josie and the Pussycats.
Who's Carson Daly?
Oh, he's in that, isn't he?
Yeah.
That movie's all right.
Alan Cummings, Parker Posey.
Joe Dirt should have got more stars.
Wait, wait, wait.
Joe seeing the pussycats is aight?
It's aight.
Oh, that's ridiculous.
It's got its moments.
That movie's awful.
It's got its moments, and they're mostly Rosario Dawson's tits.
Yeah.
Well, in that case.
First applause break of the evening.
Thank you very much.
Who knew that Carson Daly appeared uncredited
in so many movies in the early 2000s?
That had Joe in the title.
Were you going to say that?
I was going to say Joe's in the Pussycats.
I was confident.
I was ready to drop Rachel Lee Cook
and drop the mic and walk out.
I was like, meet Joe Black.
That's why you guys thought it was that.
Of course Carson Daly would be in that
because it was about a band.
I love the idea that Carson Daly was in
Me, Joe and Clare.
I was trying to figure it out.
He was driving the bus.
Didn't know.
I believe it was directed by the team that did Can't Hardly Wait.
It's amazing, Ty,
that your movies aren't more like Robert Altman-esque
with your ability to
speak while other people are speaking.
We had two different conversations
going on just there, and I think
Chris's was killing and ours was lost in the
shuffle.
Ours was lost in the souffle.
It was the crowd noise that confused me.
Oh, okay. I hope that people all listening understand what's going on.
Sorry.
It's all good.
This is super fun, and now I've got to reassess what happened.
I won.
I won the point.
You got the point, and you went negative,
so you're going to qualify again for the tournament.
I mean, there's no reason to qualify twice.
That was quick.
But that's how good you are, Chris Cubis.
Coming for you, little Wolverine.
Oh, I'd love to see that happen.
That would be quite a battle.
So that means who challenged you, Jeff did?
So that means we start with Ty this round, gets to to pick category again, but then Jeff, you're up
next. We'll go to you next.
And Ty gets to pick between
Flock of Seagulls. That's
movies with Jason Seagulls, Steven Seagal,
or both.
Talk to the Hand
was submitted by someone on Twitter
named Brains.
I don't know what that's a reference to. And was submitted by someone on Twitter named Brains.
I don't know what that's a reference to.
Talk to the Hand is movies that have sign language in them.
And then your third choice is The Perfect Dorm, suggested by Koji Werner.
The Perfect Dorm, and that's movies that take place at college.
Which one of those would you like to play, today? Flock of Seagulls.
Oh, here we go.
From the crowd.
Would you like a movie with Jason Segel,
Steven Seagal,
or both
from 2010 or 2011?
2011.
Oh, shit.
If you'd gone 2010, it would have been machete.
Two stars from Leonard for this movie
that he calls sleazy
and unmotivated.
I mean, if something's sleazy,
there's motivation there, in my opinion.
But he says it's those two things.
And he also says
that
he complains about a lot of things
and he'd say it'd be okay if the film were funny
it isn't
that's the last
two word sentence of Leonard
dropping the hammer on this movie
that has Steven Seagal
Jason Seagal
or both?
There's a lady running out.
There can't be a both, is there?
I don't know what reason.
And then 12 names, I think?
Yeah, 12 names.
Eight names.
Ty starts submitting at eight names.
Oh, boy.
Yeah, Jeff, what are you going to do with that?
I wish this was called...
Play your strategy.
Doug loves video games.
I would do better at that.
I want him to name the movie.
Really?
Eight Names.
You're going to name Eight Names?
Chris is very upset.
I'll give him Eight Names. I don't think he knows.
I don't think he knows it.
Okay.
I'm not even going to repeat the clues.
That's how confident I am with eight names.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
He said eight because he doesn't know.
He said eight because he's...
Yeah, right.
But now he gets eight.
He says eight.
I'm telling you.
Watch.
He said eight because he's playing it safe,
and that's how you get to hear a lot of names.
If he's on the fence or doesn't quite know,
these eight names are going to knock him off the fence he's a filmmaker he watches the answer
none of this shit that's bad he doesn't watch every movie
all right a lot more steven seagal movies than i have jason seagal movies
all right well you've jeff you've defended your decision. Let's see how it plays out.
There's been bigger surprises to me at the outcome,
but I'm usually pretty good at picking it.
Do you want a side bet for some cash?
I think he's going to get it, yes.
Can I change my decision?
No.
That's what this is called.
Damn it, I want to get your opinion.
This is the part of the show I call rubbing it in.
All right.
But also, I could be wrong,
and then that makes for an exciting underdog finish.
That is true.
I love underdogs.
Here's your eight names, Top Dog.
David Pamer, Stephanie Ferrissey, Dave Gruber-Allen.
They put the Gruber in there.
I didn't even have to add it.
Eric Stonestreet,
Molly Shannon,
Thomas Lennon,
Phyllis Smith,
and John Michael Higgins.
From 2011,
two stars from Leonard.
It's sleazy,
and all of the problems with the movie would be okay
if it were funny, but it isn't.
And it stars Steven Seagal or Jason Segel.
Or both.
What's the name of the movie?
I'm starting to feel good that I didn't make a side bet.
Yeah.
What's it called?
Use your microphone voice.
I'm going to have to guess.
Yeah, please.
And I'm going to... to guess Yeah please 2011
He might have a good poker face
Maybe this is what's happening
He's hustling us
Maybe but to what end?
Just get the fucking point
Thomas Lennon
I actually don't know
I'll guess that it's the Reno 911 movie
Oh okay Jason Segal is I actually don't know. I'll guess that it's the Reno 911 movie. Oh, okay.
Jason Segal is, you know,
he likes to crash into franchises
he was never involved with
and just do his Jason Segal thing.
He'll bring some puppets along.
The rest of the names are Lucy Punch,
Jason Segal in the third slot,
and then Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz.
And there's a motion picture called Bad Teacher.
Yes. Bad Teacher. So Jeff gets a point.
I saved $20. I would have
bet $20 on you, Ty.
Who was
number one, Cameron Diaz?
Yeah, it was a movie about what a bad
teacher she was. It was like Bad Lieutenant.
She goes up to a car with some nuns
in it and masturbates.
And I don't think she... I wouldn't say, I wouldn't say Cameron D is a bad actress,
but I remember watching the trailer and being like, man, she's really bad in this.
Like, I remember watching and going, what is this?
Does she make this in like a week?
They're just like, let's go with the first take every time.
I think her skills come and go.
I don't know.
I like her sometimes, and other times I'm like, what is going on with this girl?
That's weird.
Yeah.
She seems too hopped up on something sometimes. I like when she, and other times I'm like, what is going on with this girl? That's weird. Yeah. She seems too hopped up on something sometimes.
I like when she plays quiet characters.
I think she tried to do like a Kenny Powers thing, like, oh, I'm a crazy teacher that says anything.
Yeah.
Yeah, nobody can do a Kenny Powers thing.
That's right.
That's his thing.
Chris got left out of that last skirmish.
I did.
So he gets to go first, and then we'll go to Jeff
because that's where the challenge came from.
Oh, boy.
Would you like The Spectacled Now?
That's movies where the lead character wears glasses.
Or the Cornetto category?
Yeah.
Yeah, we love World's End
and all the other Cornetto movies.
So this is a movie where the title has the word
ice or the word cream
in the title. And Edgar
Wright himself was kind of peeved with me that
the answer turned out to be
nice or something. And he's like, that's
not the word ice. And I go, yeah, but it does have the word ice
in there. So keep that in mind.
And then
a category that people just love to hear
over and over again.
Roe vs. Wade.
And that's movies where one or more people are lost at sea.
Which when you think about it, doesn't even make sense.
Wade wouldn't be an option if you're
lost at sea. You can't just jump out
and walk home.
I'm going to go Cornetto. Let's go Cornetto.
All right.
So this is, you know, it's a tricky category.
Ice or cream are in there somewhere.
And two stars from Leonard.
The year is 1995.
He starts off with some of that sarcasm again.
That's hard to read.
This is a crazy review.
Oh, he says the funniest scene is the opening.
And he also says that one actor virtually reprises the same role he had in two movies by another director.
So that's an interesting tidbit.
And then he lists five, 6, 7, 8,
10 names.
How many names are you going to get it in, Chris, out of
10? 95?
Yes, sir.
95 names is not
ice or cream in the
title. I'm going to go 10 names.
Yeah, take them all.
Yeah, strategy. Jeff seems to
like to say name movie anyway, so let's give it a shot.
Yeah, so Jeff, you know, you can go nine or –
I'll do nine names.
Yeah, that's a strategic move.
What's Ty going to do with that because he knows the kind of player he's up against?
No, you're not.
No, you're going to keep going.
It's no elimination.
It's a new round.
I'll go eight names.
It's a new day.
My lucky number.
How many?
Eight
Okay
I would have asked
Jeff to name it
It goes to me, right?
It goes to me, yeah
I'm going to say five names
He leaps all the way down to five
I don't think you can
leap down to something
but he just did it
It was quick
What do you think, Jeff?
Can you go fewer names?
I would like him to name the movie.
All right.
He gets five names.
I have no idea.
Just so we're all on the same page.
All right.
So this is, unfortunately, Ty is sitting this out.
So this is for the win.
One or the other of these two gentlemen is going to win.
What happened to your name tag, Ty?
Where'd it go?
Oh, it's the badge.
So does it have a shithead on the back?
No, it does not.
We're going to need a shithead from that person.
So if you could write down on some sort of piece of paper
somebody for me to call a shithead at the end of the show,
I will do that.
Is there one on the back of yours, Jeff?
No, I didn't get one.
Okay, so you have to win.
I don't think I have one.
We'll figure it out.
Chris's does.
Chris's does.
I like it.
Yeah, Misty knows what she's doing.
Yeah, Jeff not so much.
I met the Jeff in the audience, not the Jeff on stage.
All right, good.
I was confused.
Just explaining for the listeners.
So, Chris, you get five names, and there's no way you're going to get this.
Okay.
Well, let's see what we got.
Yeah, it's exciting, right?
Jessica Hecht.
Elliot Gould.
It's all guest stars from Friends.
Carlos Jaycott, who I think also was on Friends once.
Thanks for the hint, I guess.
Cara Buono.
Jason Wiles.
W-I-L-E-S.
That's all five.
Yeah, those are your five names.
1995, Ice or Cream, somewhere in the title.
Ice or Cream in the title.
What do you got?
I got nothing.
Carson Daly was also.
Carson Daly appeared on Build.
This is a tough one, dude.
I feel it.
I feel it for you.
I got nothing.
I don't know if I'd pull it.
Even with the rest of the names, I think many would be unsure.
This is a tough one.
I think I loaded it in for the Edgar Wright show just to challenge him.
Which means it's probably got ice or cream specifically in it.
No, I was saying he complained about it because he didn't play this category.
No leading the witness.
All right.
So you lose.
Yeah, I got nothing.
You lose, and Jeff is our winner.
Yeah!
Oh, my gosh.
What a weird thing.
He wins.
He comes here saying, oh, I'm no good at this, but his strategy pays off.
Strategy is an important part of the game.
And it's part of the fun.
Thanks, guys.
And the remaining names are Parker Posey, Chris Eichmann,
Olivia Dabo.
Parker Posey's a big tell.
Party Girl doesn't have
ice or cream in its title.
She wouldn't be that lowly billed
in Party Girl.
In Party Girl,
it's her movie.
Eric Stoltz and Josh Hamilton
and the movie's called
Kicking and Screaming.
Our friend Cameron Bookholz knew it.
I love Parker Posey.
If Parker Posey
listens to this podcast,
Kicking and Screaming
and moaning, apparently.
A lot of moaning
from this crowd. But let's hear it one more time
for Jeff for winning. He really did it.
Thank you.
He really pulled it off.
Everyone's mad.
Nobody's mad.
The only person that's mad is the person you won for.
She's got to take home a bucket full of wet prizes.
She gets a poster. I didn't get the poster wet.
That's not wet. Where's the winner? Where is she at?
Come on down. It's a dude.
It's a guy. I only want a woman to have this.
