Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds With 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth They're still not warm, then he won't see Cause Doug loves movies Hey everybody My name is Doug and I love movies The original hard and firm theme song For Doug Loves Movies is back
Starting point is 00:00:33 And so everybody was able to Everybody was able to clap to that one It was funny listening to you guys try to clap To Motion City Soundtrack's version There was like a time change in it and you guys would all just clap anyway almost as if you're going to start chanting We're white, we're white.
Starting point is 00:00:53 So we always had to take that off of the audio so that it wouldn't annoy the listeners. Because wouldn't that be weird to listen to a song and people don't know how to clap to it? We're coming to you from the ucb theater in los angeles before comedy death ray on tuesday july 13th 2010 the year of our lithco uh programming notes since i'm about to go out on the uh pot the vote tour yeah put one person excited about me leaving Los Angeles to go do comedy.
Starting point is 00:01:28 There won't be any tapings of this podcast here at UCB again until August 3rd. So the next two weeks, there might be other stuff going on before Death Ray, so check your listings. Graham Elwood and I are going to be going to the Pot to Vote Tour, so we're going to go to Sacramento Punchline July 20 and 21st,
Starting point is 00:01:44 the Cellar Door in Visalia July 23rd, San Francisco Punchline July 25th at 420, and then again on July 27th at 8 o'clock, and then they're also squeezing in a show at the Improv in San Jose on July 26th. And this is to remind people to vote for Proposition 19 on November 2nd. I'm not affiliated with any group or anything. I'm just doing it on my own. And if lots of people wear name tags to the shows, we will play the Leonard Maltin game for fabulous prizes or shitty T-shirts.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Just like I did last Sunday in Nashville at Zany's. We got to play the Leonard Maltin game, and the crowd didn't turn against me because I wasn't doing stand-up. It's a tough thing. I've got to judge it with each show. Are there enough people that listen to the podcast that there won't be people walking out? We didn't come to watch a guy say obscure names. We didn't come to hear number bidding.
Starting point is 00:02:42 But here's the good news. While I'm off on the tour, we've already banked two episodes of the podcast that we will play on the next two consecutive Fridays, so they want to plop each week as normal. And Jimmy
Starting point is 00:03:00 Pardo, Matt Belknap, and Pat Francis from Never Not Funny are the guests. So it's a fun two-parter that you can listen to. We've already taped it, so I want to tell you right now that if you listen to this one first, or you see it live, and then you listen to the one with Jimmy Pardo, I go on and on. It's like a crazy coincidence. I go on and on about, what's going on with Toe for Grace? I want more Toe for Grace. I haven't seen anything with Toe for Grace.
Starting point is 00:03:24 And then, of course, two days later, I'm watching Predators, and there's Toe for Grace. I want more Toe for Grace. I haven't seen anything with Toe for Grace. And then, of course, two days later I'm watching Predators, and there's Toe for Grace. And I'm like, that podcast is going to sound so stupid. If everyone knows I saw Predators that opening day, because I tweeted about it, they're all going to be like, why does he not think Toe for Grace is
Starting point is 00:03:40 in anything? Did he not recognize him during two hours of Toe for Graceness? It doesn't even turn into a black slimy thing. He's Topher Grace the entire time. Spoiler alert. So speaking of podcasts, which I think I was at some point since I got out here, my guests tonight
Starting point is 00:03:57 are from a very funny podcast called The Joe Rogan Experience. Please welcome producer Brian Redband, guest Sam Tripoli, and the titular host Joe Rogan Experience, please welcome producer Brian Redband, guest Sam Tripoli, and the titular host, Joe Rogan, everybody. Joe Rogan's here. Come on out, fellas. Sam and Brian and Joe. Just find your way out here.
Starting point is 00:04:26 Take some seats. We'll talk about movies. Because this is called Doug Loves Movies. That's what we do is we talk about movies to guests that come out when I say their names. I saw them all sitting backstage. I know they're back there. Is this like, am I being pranked? I'll do a show all by myself. I know they're back there. Is this like a... Am I being pranked?
Starting point is 00:04:46 I'll do a show all by myself. I'm not afraid. I got a lot of things to say about predators. Alright, I'll just start talking about predators. First of all... Was Topher Grace in the ad? Seriously? Oh, they're trying to. There's a door that's blocked. Were you really trying to come through that door? Have you guys seen
Starting point is 00:05:13 the ads for Predators? The movie ads? Yeah. Do you see Topher Grace in those ads? I just love how Adrian Brody's just jacked. Have you seen that? Talking to the microphone like I told you backstage.
Starting point is 00:05:29 All of my tips did not really go hand with you guys. Did you see that last Adrian Brody movie? The crazy, what is it, Splice? Oh, no, I didn't see that. Fucking awesome for all the wrong reasons. It's a great bad movie. It's really, really, really bad. It's so bad.
Starting point is 00:05:47 They make this splice part human thing in a basement. They leave it in the basement and it grows on its own. They leave it in a storage room at this fucking science place. No one's going to notice. You've got a full-grown
Starting point is 00:05:59 fucking alien human thing with a tail living in a storage room. It's alive for three months, maybe, until Adrian Brody fucks it. I mean,
Starting point is 00:06:08 outside, and he gets busted. Fuck it. I mean, it's just awesome. How does he seduce it? Does he have to, like, order in some pizza?
Starting point is 00:06:16 He touches him. He just fucks anything. You're not stoned when you saw it. Stoned as fuck. Why would you go to see a movie like that if you were sober?
Starting point is 00:06:24 That's Brian Redband speaking over there. I want you guys to know a movie like that if you were sober? That's Brian Redband speaking over there. I want you guys to know the voices that are listening to the podcast. That's Brian. He's the producer of the Joe Rogan Experience.
Starting point is 00:06:33 Yep. Yeah, how's that work out for you? It's fun. I'm great. You guys, yeah, do you ever forget the microphones
Starting point is 00:06:39 or something like that? No. I hear tell you get high a lot when you do it. We always leave a computer on so that when we start broadcasting, you hear the echo because it's in the background.
Starting point is 00:06:48 We always fuck that up. So unprofessional. Yeah, it's a very unprofessional podcast. Well, you know what? People are paying unprofessional money to get it. Yeah, that's what doesn't make sense. We're sponsored by Fleshlight. Boom!
Starting point is 00:07:01 We are, for real. A lot of my listeners just fuck regular flashlights because they're real men. They just open up a flashlight, dump out the batteries, and stick their dick in there. There's no reason to do that. It's only $60 for a good one. God, that's great. Safe flight repairs. They're awesome.
Starting point is 00:07:18 It's technology for jerking off. Can you get me one? Fuck yeah, son. Whatever you want. I'll give you three of son. I'll get you a butthole and a mouth one. Really? Wow, you should call the Make-A-Wish Foundation and say,
Starting point is 00:07:31 I can really hook some kids up. I can. You know. I can. They don't have black ones, though, which is very disturbing. And we found that out by searching on the site. At least they're not on the front couple pages. What are they, like Asian and vampire ones, but they don't have black. They have Twilight?
Starting point is 00:07:47 Yeah, with fangs. That's probably why Mel Gibson got mad is he called to order a black one. And he's like, no black ones. I hope you get raped by a bunch of black ones. Listen, my opinion, maybe he's not yelling at her out of
Starting point is 00:08:04 anger. Maybe he's yelling at her out of anger. Maybe he's yelling at her out of encouragement. Maybe he's into interracial porn. You ever think about that? He's like, hey, go get some black. Oh, yeah, maybe they play role-playing games is what you're saying. And she records it and then sends it out like this is what he's really like. She was a little too calm for my tastes. The whole thing is a viral video for a movie.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Well, you got to be calm when you're wearing a wire. You can't be too worked up. The whole thing's a viral video for a movie. You gotta be calm when you're wearing a wire. You can't be too worked up. The whole thing was so uncomfortable. He's so fucking crazy. It's awesome. He's just spooky crazy. There's no way this is real crazy. Do you think he's not going to work again crazy?
Starting point is 00:08:39 His agency dumped him. I know that. He makes so much money. He's got so much money. It doesn't even matter. Good voice work. But it does matter. That's the weird part. But why? Why would it matter?
Starting point is 00:08:50 I think he wants to still be a movie star. And I think he wants people to think he's not racist, which is going to be so hard to pull off. There's people. That's like Obama trying to convince people he was born here. There's going to be some people that are always going to think that. You know what I mean? Well, there's people that still want to see Polanski's movies. be some people that are always going to think that. You know what I mean? There's people that still want to see Polanski's movies. There's people that still want him to work.
Starting point is 00:09:09 They think he's very talented. That's what I say about him. What would Pierce Brosnan do without... I didn't see what that last one was. The Ghost Rider. Did you see that? No. Was that a Polanski movie? Yeah. Everybody said it was really good.
Starting point is 00:09:23 That's a tough sell, working with that dude. Really? Yeah, I couldn't do it. I got a really short list. It's him and Leno, and that's pretty much the only people I wouldn't work with. You won't work with Leno ever? If I got a chance to go on his show, I would either say no, or I'd say something obnoxious once I got out there.
Starting point is 00:09:40 Wow. Strong feelings. Yeah, I do have strong feelings about it. It's weird because I really shouldn't care. What is it that's so offensive to you?
Starting point is 00:09:49 What's the most offensive out of all the Conan, Jay Leno thing? What was the most offensive part of it? The not being funny part? Like that trumps all in my book
Starting point is 00:10:01 if you're a professional comedian. But he's funny to someone, right? I guess. It's just not you. No, but you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. But he's funny to someone, right? I guess. It's just not you. No, but you know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. And that's why I would not have had a problem with him.
Starting point is 00:10:10 There's plenty of people that are not funny to me that are funny to everybody else. Right. So I don't have a problem with those people as long as they're not lying, cheating weirdos.
Starting point is 00:10:18 So it's not really just that he was not funny. You think there's something fucked up about the way he went about it. No, he laid all that extra stuff on it. I love some Mel Gibson movies you know
Starting point is 00:10:27 I don't blame him for the bad ones but now I just hate the guy you know now he's just like oh I want a reality show with him
Starting point is 00:10:33 that's what I want that's what I want to see him I'd watch that I'd watch that I want to see him just get followed around all day
Starting point is 00:10:39 yelling and screaming at people getting fucking drunk you know you should be able to hire him you have to be hidden cameras
Starting point is 00:10:44 because I think he likes to pretend to be not a drunk. Yeah, he likes to pretend. It's very interesting with Twitter and with Facebook and all these different things and TMZ and all this stuff. You're finding things out
Starting point is 00:10:55 about people that no one ever did 10, 15, 20 years ago. So maybe you're not supposed to find out. Well, you know, you are. The world needs to know when someone's a rude little pig. Yeah. The world needs to know about it.
Starting point is 00:11:09 That was the worst. That is terrible. That is like a guy reigning in the shit he really wants to say to his kid with words like rude and little and pig. That was like him being nice to her while he was yelling at her. That was the most polite anger I've ever seen in my life. That was very, very disturbing. Yeah, yeah. The thing I like about Leno, to go back to that,
Starting point is 00:11:29 is that it gives me hope in people that his ratings are down, that for whatever jockeying position, and maybe he's fucked over Conan, whatever that is, that people don't like assholes anymore. You see it now with LeBron James and him just leaving on Cleveland. Have you ever heard Bill Hicks' bit on Jay Leno? You ever heard the bit? Bill Hicks does this genius bit about Leno
Starting point is 00:11:54 not being able to take it one day, and he's interviewing Joey Lawrence about Joey Lawrence's girlfriend, and he just can't take it. And he shoves a gun in his mouth, and his brains blow out to form an NBC peacock because he's a company man to the bitter fucking end. And he does this whole bit on it, so I asked Jay about it. And he shoves a gun in his mouth and his brains blow out to form an NBC peacock because he's a company man to the bitter fucking end.
Starting point is 00:12:07 And he does his whole bit on it. So I asked Jay about it. First time I did the Tonight Show, when we were in between in commercials, I had to ask him. I said, what was it like? Why did that guy do that bit? Why did Bill Hicks do that? And the answer was so strange. He goes, well, you know, Bill was very different. He was just a different guy. Some guys
Starting point is 00:12:23 want to make everybody laugh. He did not want to make everybody laugh. I want everybody to laugh. And he wanted to, you know, Bill was very different. He was just a different guy. You know, some guys want to make everybody laugh. He did not want to make everybody laugh. You know, I want everybody to laugh. You know, and he wanted to, you know, he had his own crowd, and that's what he wanted to do. I was like, what the fuck are you even talking about? You make everybody laugh? That's crazy. That's a crazy person. You can't make everybody laugh.
Starting point is 00:12:38 The shit you think is funny, I'm not going to think it's funny. We're different, right? Definitely. We're proving that in this room right now. For sure. You have to have your own sense of humor. Yeah, I'm striking out.
Starting point is 00:12:52 I love that impression, though. Leno's impression is great. It's like every white guy voiced a black comic stew with a gay lisp to it. You know what I'm saying? He's such a completely odd guy because he doesn't spend
Starting point is 00:13:02 any of his money from The Tonight Show. He puts it all away. I think that's just a pimp move because he doesn't spend any of his money from the Tonight Show. That's what he says. I think that's just a pimp move. I got so much money, I don't even use the Leno money. That's impossible. The Leno money.
Starting point is 00:13:13 I use the money I get from robbing banks. Why would he lie about that? I don't touch my Leno money. I earn that shit. That's weird to be doing a Leno impression without even trying. I'm Jay Leno. But the trying I'm Jay Leno but the best thing that Jay Leno ever said I think he's a smart man in some ways obviously he's done well for
Starting point is 00:13:33 himself but the best thing he's ever said to my mind is the the thing about when asked about joke thievery and people stealing jokes he's just like right, write another joke. And that nails it. Just write another fucking joke. That's true, but people who steal your shit, it's also pretty disgusting. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm not defending it. I'm just saying. He sued that publisher for plagiarism. You know?
Starting point is 00:13:57 He sued some publisher for plagiarism saying they copied a book from him or something like that back in the dizzay. Two years ago, yeah. Why'd you get all black in there? I don't have a computer here, so I can't Google it. My friend Brian right now is too high to talk publicly. What?
Starting point is 00:14:12 Am I right? Have you guys heard that before? I think stealing jokes, there's like two camps. That's the worst when you pull an audience and no one says yes. I know. The entire audience is like, uh-oh, we don't have your back on that. I'm sorry, Sam. Sam, I want to ask you about movies
Starting point is 00:14:30 because it's easy for stoners like us to get off the subject of movies, especially when you just smoked for the first time in what, months, years? Months, months and months. Yeah, so that's always a good high when you wait for months and then do it and then go out on a podcast.
Starting point is 00:14:42 It's great. Holy shit, it's the only thing you have that hat on, because your brains want to fly out of your head. So what movies have you been to lately, if you can remember, Sam? The last one I went to was honestly Iron Man 2. I thought it was okay. I'm just a little nervous where movies are going. Every movie now has a talking animal in it,
Starting point is 00:15:02 and that just makes me nervous how much people love talking animals which maybe leads to why there's so many animal attacks do you know what i'm saying like people may actually want to talk to animals now and animals probably don't want to talk do you know what i'm saying i think that's why people didn't that many people didn't go to the city too because they're tired tired of talking a horse is a horse of course of course so George Steinbrenner passed away on this this very day that we're taping this and do you guys like baseball movies do you have any favorite baseball movies I like the have any favorite baseball movies? I like The Natural with Paul Newman.
Starting point is 00:15:48 That was an interesting... Robert Redford? One of those dudes. That would be an interesting take on it to put Paul Newman in there. Do not watch Field of Dreams on acid, man. I did that one time. I cry when he's playing catch with his dad.
Starting point is 00:16:02 I'm like, I love my dad! I think that scene is sad without the acid, actually. You take acid and cry it up. Yeah. Toy Story 3. Just build it. They will come. Marley and me.
Starting point is 00:16:14 How many assholes built baseball stadiums in their backyard after watching that? Nothing happened. And not one ghost showed up. Some guy wrote to me on Twitter today about how that movie's misquoted. It's if you build it, he will come, not they will come. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:16:27 who gives a shit who comes? The only man. Fucking, they said it, some shit happened. I think it's a, I haven't seen it in a long time,
Starting point is 00:16:34 so maybe it doesn't hold up. Joe, what do you think the chances of him having a fleshlight would be? That guy, who's lonely.
Starting point is 00:16:41 He's out in the cornfield waiting for the, I think if he had it, it'd probably help him with his perspective maybe evens out your biology lets you see things
Starting point is 00:16:50 a little more clearly I'm in Major League 2 that's your favorite baseball movie two stone to participate comes in with Major League 2 not even Major League 1
Starting point is 00:17:02 which is vastly superior in its kind of shittiness somebody said to me today who was in Major League 2. Not even Major League 1, which is vastly superior in its kind of shittiness. Somebody said to me today... Who was in Major League 2? I don't know. It was like a lesser cast. Instead of Wesley Snipes, it was... Who?
Starting point is 00:17:15 Omar Epps. Hey, I didn't say lesser. That guy's awesome. Tommy... We were just talking backstage About bad mouthing other comedians What was the Kevin Costner one? The Bull Durham People love that
Starting point is 00:17:31 That was a great one Yeah that was Robert Wall And his least annoying That was an interesting movie Because you know Even the heroes were all fucked up Like the whole You know he was a mess
Starting point is 00:17:40 And she was a mess But all together it worked out That was interesting That's nice They worked it out in the end The Rosie O'Donnell one yeah what is that a league of their own a league of their own yeah yeah it's good in it how many dvds is that one so yeah i don't know my favorite is bad news bears can you would you guys agree that's my favorite baseball man would you guys agree the worst casting of all time was rosie'Donnell as Betty in the Flintstone movies?
Starting point is 00:18:06 Oh, dude, we talked about this when we were in Vegas, you and I. That was insane. That was the insanest casting that ever happened because Betty was like super hot, just as hot as Wilma. She's a Betty. You got to have that tension all the time
Starting point is 00:18:20 between Barney and Fred that swapping could occur. You can't have poor Barney with some fucking... She's a Betty. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Then we just got the lesbian with the biggest skull ever
Starting point is 00:18:31 playing the role, which is weird. All right, I'll shut up. She should... Rosie O'Donnell should start a metal band called Big Skull. She's always taking her career off
Starting point is 00:18:44 in such crazy directions. She defends weird people once in a while. She was fascinating on The View. When she and that really hot blonde Republican chick would argue, that was intense. Because Rosie was always crazy like 9-11 was an inside job
Starting point is 00:19:02 and the other one is fucking guns, God, and government. There was some sexual tension between the two. is fucking guns, God, and government. Yeah. Woo! There was some sexual tension between the two. A little bit, right? You know Rosie wanted to eat and look at this.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Dirty Republican. There's something about her. This is now Dirty Crowd and it's starting to realign. I can't wait. I'm just looking forward to the movie of whatever it was
Starting point is 00:19:20 you were just talking about. It's already been made, I'm sure, if you can think of it. Who will play Rosie O'Donnell because you always know they get somebody better looking than them. Have you ever noticed that? Chaz Bono.
Starting point is 00:19:30 All that money looks like Larry the Cable Guy. That's so weird. Can you imagine there's some poor person out there in the world that might get cast as Rosie O'Donnell someday? Like in somebody's biopic. Like Trump's biopic has to have Rosie O'Donnell in it
Starting point is 00:19:46 and some lady is going to get that part. It's true. I get to be Rosie O'Donnell in a movie. Oh. Guess I'm going to have to put on some weight.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Like they hire a skinny girl you know. How do you gain weight in your head though? That's the weirdest part. Maybe they would do a maybe they would do a reverse Wilma.
Starting point is 00:20:06 They would make Rosie super hot and confuse the fuck out of everybody. I kind of like to get that out there in the ether. People saying a reverse Wilma is like a new... That's you. You created that. Yeah, the reverse Wilma. Rosie would be CGI. They'd just make her like the Hulk.
Starting point is 00:20:24 The Hulk is fairly realistic. Now people are, some people are, I don't know why anyone's talking about whether or not Ed Norton was going to be the Hulk in the Avengers movie. I wasn't sitting around going,
Starting point is 00:20:36 God, I hope he doesn't. He was fine in that Incredible Hulk movie, but that's the casting change I can handle, you know? Yeah, there's been so many Hulks now. The Eric Bana Hulk. They just keep rebooting it. They go, this one didn't work. Let's just reboot it. Because the Hulk never looks real.
Starting point is 00:20:52 It looked better. The newer one was better, but it's still an ongoing thing. I hate when they hire a decent actor, especially like a Willem Dafoe or a Topher Grace. They play a villain that turns into another thing that's not them.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Did you see Wolfman? I didn't see the new Wolfman because I heard so many awful things about it. I'm a huge werewolf fan. I'm such a huge werewolf nerd. I bought Wolfman even though it sucked. I bought it on Blu-ray and I put it in the background when I write sometimes just because I love those fucking movies
Starting point is 00:21:24 like American Werewolf in London. One of my favorite of all time just so much fun but it was the idea that you're uh when you're writing that you're causing mayhem and being chased by no it's just fun to look at it's right i just like to look at it i'm armenian so i have to like anything about angry furry people you know what i'm saying um but what they tried to do with the wolf man, the new one was put him in, because he's such a great actor, put him in just a mask and put him in,
Starting point is 00:21:49 and it just looks outdated. It just doesn't work, unfortunately. Yeah, he's not as effective as the werewolves in Eclipse. I always thought... Yeah, like anytime you have an animal, when they try to do animals, like you can do Jurassic Park and they look like real dinosaurs
Starting point is 00:22:05 But when you try to do dogs and shit They look so fucking goofy I am legend That was a huge problem for me That lion scene When he goes to shoot the deer And a lion jumps out and grabs the deer in front of him And then the male lion walks out and the cubs
Starting point is 00:22:20 And I'm like alright this movie is out the window Because that's retarded I'm watching fucking Davy and Goliath here. This is ridiculous. They couldn't find a real lion in New York. Just don't show it. Don't show it like that. Don't pretend that I'm supposed to just pretend that this is a fucking lion.
Starting point is 00:22:35 But then the zombie creatures were the same kind of effect. But they were at least monsters. It's like they don't exist in real life. I have nothing to compare them to. This is how you're creating them. This is how you're presenting them to me Like with dinosaurs Maybe the dinosaurs are totally off too If we had real dinosaurs to look at
Starting point is 00:22:50 We would say Well these Jurassic Park ones Look fucking stupid and fake But we don't have real dinosaurs to look at We got real lions You can't fake a fucking lion man Do you think lion actors are angry That they made CGI lions?
Starting point is 00:23:01 They're like We want to fucking work bro There's already some asshole in a hat playing me on broadway like what was that uh like when back when they were mad that a white guy was doing charlie chan right yeah yeah yeah at what point do you think in a movie do you ever watch a movie you're like okay everybody in the movie just realized this movie sucks and nobody's trying anymore you're like okay everybody in the movie just realized this movie sucks and nobody's trying anymore the lovely bones yeah yeah one of the most it made me angry that how horrible that movie was like jack on lost kind of like jack on jack on lost phone that in the last couple seasons
Starting point is 00:23:37 how about crank two finally ever see crank two why would i ever see crazy people people tell me it's hilarious i didn't like crank one and people say that Crank 2 is better. No way. I don't buy it. I don't buy it for a second. That doesn't even make sense. At one point, the director's like, let's just make a YouTube video. Let's do it.
Starting point is 00:23:54 And they just go with it. The only reason I went and saw it is because my friend plays a stripper who gets her tits shot off, so I'm like, I've got to go support my friend. Did you just gesture to a specific person in the audience that's where she is always in the room when he's around she stands in that area the voices come from the right it's always that way I do I do enjoy a good bad movie I really enjoyed was the one where it got no day after tomorrow remember the day after tomorrow where yeah yeah yeah like 2012 what was the one where Day After Tomorrow? Remember Day After Tomorrow?
Starting point is 00:24:26 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like 2012 but a few years earlier. Except even more ridiculous. There's so many awesome cliches in that movie. You can fucking slip in a Cusack instead of a Gyllenhaal and no one's going to care. It's the same thing as Ed Norton and the Hulk. You can just switch them around.
Starting point is 00:24:42 Is there any movie that everybody hates but you love? I love The Ladies Man. Have you ever seen it? No. What is that? It's this SNL movie that it was me by myself in the movie theater laughing my ass off and nobody saw it. But I don't know. I just love it.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I think it's hysterical. There's one movie that I've always had. There's a test. And if you like this movie, I probably can talk to you. But if you like this movie i probably can talk to you but if you hate this movie i'm just we're gonna run out of conversation real quick and that's the big lebowski that's our show everybody uh yeah that's the big lebowski's one of those some people just don't get it great fucking movie yeah it's like i remember like in the being in the theater while it was going on
Starting point is 00:25:21 just going to be like every choice they made like yes it was just so fucking fun the whole bowling alley scene and we're you know saddam hussein the bowling alley with the mustache like it's so good it was so fucking good then i talked to people like fucking big gabelski suck who are those people wow i'm like really it's like also probably didn't like fargo that's another movie that i think amazing, but some people just don't get it. There's a frequency that some people just don't tune in to that cone-butter shit. I've heard people say, why is that one scene in there
Starting point is 00:25:53 where Marge goes to see that Asian guy and he keeps hitting on her in the booth even though she's pregnant? It has nothing to do with the story in Fargo, but it's one of my favorite scenes in that movie, and I don't sit there the whole time going, why is this here? Why are these interesting characters interacting
Starting point is 00:26:08 with each other in an amusing manner? Fuck this shit. Some people just don't want that. I'm a... Oh, sorry. I'm from a small town upstate New York. It's very redneck, and I remember when Napoleon Dynamite came out.
Starting point is 00:26:24 I was like, oh, this is awesome. I sent it to my buddy. A couple weeks later, I go back and he's like, you know, that movie you sent me, we were expecting so much from it. It wasn't anything. Then I realized, because Napoleon Dynamite is their life. Do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:26:39 It's like a documentary to them. They're like, yeah, and what's the point? Where are we going with this? Yeah, because they say documentary there. I got killed. I couldn't walk away from that one. No, please don't. Those are my favorite comedies.
Starting point is 00:26:56 The Coen Brothers comedies like Fargo and especially The Big Lebowski. Those are my favorite comedies because they're just so unpredictable. Just the way... And their dramas have moments of hilarity quite often. I think they're great. Did you like...
Starting point is 00:27:11 Almost everything they do. What was the No Country for Old Men? Did you like that? Yeah, I did like that. I did not like the way that ends. Ends very abruptly. I don't need that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:20 I need you to wrap shit up tight for me. It does sort of suddenly end weirdly. You're like, look, it ends just like real life. Hey, douchebag, this ain't real life, right? I paid for a movie. I'm not looking for real life. I can get real life in real life, right? How about making an ending that's cool?
Starting point is 00:27:33 Well, do you like it when they wrap it up so much you're like, that's the worst Hollywood ending? Like, Crazy Heart? No, you know what I fucking hate is when they put text on the screen to wrap it up. No, no, you can't cheat like that, you fuck. I did it right now. Yeah, no, show me some more shit.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Either show me some more shit or shut the fuck up. You can't just make me read at the end of your movie. I want a motion picture, not still words. I'm not here to fucking read. I'm here to see shit happen in front of me. Yeah, I don't want to read.
Starting point is 00:28:04 Seven years later. Come on, man see shit happen in front of me. Seven years later. Come on, man. She married. Had a baby. The only excuse they ever have is when it's like a real story, like he's still alive today. Oh, okay. Cool. I'm glad you made that caveat. I mean, there's some shit you want to wrap
Starting point is 00:28:20 up. You don't want to have a guy like fucking Rod Sterling stand in front of the camera and explain everything to you with a suit on. You're absolutely right. Throw me up some text real quick and we're good. You know what I could do without Forever is, it worked in a few movies, but when they do a comical what happened to each character thing, it's always like a few funny ones and then like just total shitty ones that totally ruin it.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Like even in some of the great movies, they have some that are like, that magazine cover wasn't so funny, Stripes. Stri stripes is one of those movies that's so fucking good and they did it early enough and you did feel real uh affection for the character so they each got magazine covers was exciting for them but a few of them were like that's not funny yeah well it was it was hard to come up with something i'm sure but the ending of stripes it's just so disappointing in comparison to the first three quarters of it. It's such a classic comedy for like three quarters
Starting point is 00:29:08 of the way in and then it kind of ends like they just have to like tie it up somehow. Yeah, they have to go off somewhere and blow shit up like it has to have
Starting point is 00:29:14 like some sort of big thing. What about Clue when they had three different endings and you could go to three different movie theaters and you could choose which ending you liked best?
Starting point is 00:29:21 Yeah, and the endings were all terrible and what preceded it wasn't interesting enough to even care about seeing a different ending.
Starting point is 00:29:29 Those movies were awful. Bill Murray was so fucking funny during the Stripes era. Like, he could do anything and make me laugh. Anything he did, I would start smiling
Starting point is 00:29:37 as soon as I would see that guy on screen. He was just so good. He's great in Zombieland, I'll tell you that right now. Oh, that was the best. I've seen that.
Starting point is 00:29:42 You haven't seen Zombieland? Oh, you've got to get to see Zombieland. I keep 50-50. I get tell you that right now. Oh, that was the best. I haven't seen that. You haven't seen Zombieland? Oh, you got it. It's really... I keep 50-50. I hear people telling me it sucks. Well, the best thing about it now is that the best part about it has been ruined.
Starting point is 00:29:52 So you can go ahead and take a pass if you'd like. I don't think it's been ruined. It's a fun surprise in the middle of the movie. It's one of those ones like he sees dead people that you probably shouldn't say out loud
Starting point is 00:30:01 in front of anyone that might not have seen it yet. Was anyone going to watch Zombieland tonight? And you land tonight and you're like still wants to see it yeah man i'm almost right you're gonna get he's gonna put you in a something some kind of lock you're gonna want to tap out friend camel clutch did anybody here in the audience see who did anybody in the audience see it that didn't like it zombie land wowand? Wow, that's strong. Yeah, this is a pretty Zombieland crowd. I think they all liked it
Starting point is 00:30:28 more than I did. I liked it a lot, but I think people liked it even more than I did. Woo! Woo! There you go. You ever go to a movie
Starting point is 00:30:35 expecting one thing and then it's totally something else? Shaun of the Dead. Really? Yeah, I did not expect to love that movie. I thought it was just
Starting point is 00:30:43 going to be so good. Which one? Shaun of the Dead. Oh, yeah, yeah. That'd to love that movie. I thought it was just going to be... Which one? Shaun of the Dead. Oh, yeah, yeah. It'd be a fun surprise. I knew I'd like it. I mean, I heard enough about it ahead of time. But, yeah, that's cool when that happens,
Starting point is 00:30:52 when you just don't really know about a thing. Top five now. And then you just stumble into it, and it's amazing. Yeah. I wish they'd have it more often, but I guess things have to be marketed, you know? When I went and saw Sweeney Todd, I didn't know it was a musical.
Starting point is 00:31:06 Like, it's the worst thing ever. You're like, sweet Johnny Depp, man. It's gonna be, oh, fuck, man. You're like, it's the worst. That's how I was like the opposite with Edward Scissorhands. I was like, why aren't they fucking singing? This movie could really use some singing
Starting point is 00:31:22 because it's a lot of standing around discussing the same situation over and over again. He's got scissors in her hands. What else can we say about the guy? He's wonderful at cocktail parties. All right, so let's play a Lettermont game. We're running out of time. So I hope somebody runs away with it.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Let's get some people for you guys to play for i always pick from over here we have uh david uh joe rogan will play for you and then uh tommy we will have sam tripoli play for you sorry and erica no you can be good at this sam and erica oh this is the first time he's gotten high in months though uh erica we're gonna have a brian down there play for you. I had to look at Brian in case I thought maybe he had a name tag on. But he's one of my guests. Can we play the blues?
Starting point is 00:32:12 Do you play the blues? That's a very Crossroads hat you got on. Oh, okay. Crossroads. That's a movie reference. A really long time ago movie that doesn't replay on cable. Alright. Is that the... That was the Karate Kid? a really long time ago movie that doesn't replay on cable. All right. Is that the...
Starting point is 00:32:27 That was the karate kid? Yeah, Ralph Macchio becomes a blues singer. It made perfect sense after he became a karate master. Oh, wasn't there some sort of spirit?
Starting point is 00:32:37 That kid could do anything. Supernatural aspect to it? Yeah, yeah. There was like a... The Robert Johnson story? There was like a black ghost with a guitar in the middle of a cornfield.
Starting point is 00:32:48 It was weird. I did not care for it. Let's let Brian pick from the categories of, do you want to hear, should we do a music biopic, a western, or a campus comedy? Campus comedy. All right, here we go. You get to pick the year, Brian. You want to go 2006, 94, or 84? 94.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Okay. Sounds like you might have an idea already. Len gives it two stars in his review. I might squeak in a half. I enjoy it. Political correctness is out of control. That's one of the things he says about it. And then another thing he says about it is
Starting point is 00:33:32 there's a clash. A clash occurs in this campus comedy. Don't they all have a clash? All right. You got ten names. How many names do you think you can get it in? Wow. Brian Redband, producer of
Starting point is 00:33:52 the Joe Rogan Experience. I thought I'd be better at this. Five. Five names, he says. Joe Rogan, how many think you can get it in? Or do you want to say, name that movie, Brian Redband? Name that movie. Alright. You get five names. You get Parliament Funkadelic. You get George Clinton
Starting point is 00:34:07 and... Jake Busey, Sarah Trigger, and Jessica Walter. Dead. You have no idea? No idea. It's a classic, I think. Jon Favreau was in it.
Starting point is 00:34:28 Megan Ward, David Spade, Chris Young and Jeremy Piven. It was called PCU. Everyone was giggling when I said political correctness as a clue because that really gives it away because that's the name of the movie. Political Correctness University. He wouldn't actually give the name.
Starting point is 00:34:43 He wouldn't say that. Yeah. I'm smarter than I look. I'm smarter than I talk. Alright, so Joe Rogan got the point on that one. And we'll start with Sam this time. Would you like to do westerns, war movies, or movies that feature Leonardo
Starting point is 00:34:59 DiCaprio, who stars in Inception that opens Friday? They're not paying me to say this. That's going to be awesome. I love that movie. Sight unseen. I will go with Leonardo DiCaprio. Okay. And would you like
Starting point is 00:35:15 for a year, would you care for Wait a second. I'm doing this all wrong. Boom. Would you like 2006, 2004, or 2000 straight up? 2000. Let's go 2000 straight up. All right.
Starting point is 00:35:33 I like it. Sounds like you, Sam. I'm in. Two and a half stars. Pretty accurate. Leonardo DiCaprio plays a young American. Has he ever not? That's one thing that bugs me about him
Starting point is 00:35:48 is he looks really young even when he's playing adult characters and none of the other characters go, you look really young. Like he never gets carded when he goes anywhere. Alright. And then he also calls it consistently interesting if sometimes muddled. Consistently interesting if sometimes
Starting point is 00:36:04 muddled and DiCaprio interesting if sometimes muddled. And DiCaprio plays a young American. Two and a half stars from the year 2000. And Sam Tripoli, you get seven names. Try to name it in. How many do you think you can do it in? Seven. Nice opening bid.
Starting point is 00:36:22 We go to Brian Redman. Four. Four names. Whoa. Joe Rogan, what do you think of that? I say Redman. Four. Four names. Joe Rogan, what do you think of that? I say name it. Oh my god, Joe Rogan's gonna take this thing down right now. I have a good feeling about this. Do you want the clues again, Brian? Sure. Okay. Two and a half
Starting point is 00:36:37 stars. It's from the year 2000. What does Leo play? A young American. And it's consistently interesting and sometimes muddled. You've got to do it in four names. It's four people I've never heard of. Oh wait, there's one I've heard of.
Starting point is 00:36:54 There's Peter Youngbug Hills. Youngbug? Youngblood. Peter Youngblood Youngblood Hills. That's his nickname. Robert Carllyle. We all know from Trainspotting and other things.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Paterson Joseph. And Guillaume Canet. Guillaume Canet. You said 2000? Is it The Beach? Yes, it is! Whoa! Nicely played.
Starting point is 00:37:23 Younger sister. Also starring Very strong Virginia LeDoyen Tilda Swinton And Leo That was very strong That was a
Starting point is 00:37:32 Powerful move That came out of nowhere Alright we're gonna start with Joe We have points for Joe and Brian First person to two wins And Joe you can pick between Westerns Campus comedies Or war movies Westerns Oh confident wins. And Joe, you can pick between westerns,
Starting point is 00:37:45 campus comedies, or war movies. Westerns. Oh, confident. 2007? If it's one movie that I know, I got it. Okay. 2007, 1995, or 1960? 95.
Starting point is 00:38:02 Good, because 1960 was a mistake. I meant to do the Unforgiven the more modern one that Clint Eastwood did but there was a John Houston one that's what I was hoping you would go with I was psychically trying to plant that in your head I wanted to go with it it's a stoner move because I just picked them off the top of my head
Starting point is 00:38:19 and Unforgiven is a very memorable western but this one from 1995 gets only two stars from Len. Yeah. He doesn't care for it much. I'd say this is an example of a movie where I love it even though it's probably not particularly good.
Starting point is 00:38:35 He says of the movie that Woody Strode appears briefly as a coffin maker. And your other clue is this was Woody Strode's final film. And there are 14 names.
Starting point is 00:38:56 I'll take all 14. Let's go. Joe says 14 names. What do you say, Brian? 13. Name it, son. Sam. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:39:04 That's Sam's turn. 12. You went the's turn 12 12 from Sam how many Joe name it bitches alright I give up 12 names for Sam Tripoli
Starting point is 00:39:14 do you want the clues again sure you were so much fun the first time two stars I like it more Woody Strode
Starting point is 00:39:24 approves beefly as a coffin maker. This was his final film. Good thing it was brief. How many names did you say? Seven? Twelve. Was it really twelve? Seven, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:39:38 It was twelve? Alright. I was twelve. He was thirteen, twelve, right? No, he went 14 I went 14-13-12 Stoner move So confident of himself yet so wrong It's 70 Okay 12

Starting point is 00:41:08 he is great too especially one movie where he's all weird all right so Joe once our winner is our friend David over here and he gets the copy of Sam Tripoli's CD called Crime Fighter. What's that available on, Sam? Nothing. Come find Sam and try to get one off of him. Your website? You can put it on iTunes.

And Joe, what do you got? Joe Rogan on Twitter. I'm at the John Lovitz Comedy Club this weekend, Saturday night, at Universal.
Starting point is 00:43:20 I've never been there. It's fun. Is it? Yeah. Is there a UFC fight attached to it? No. Because if Joe Rogan, if you're listening and Is there a UFC fight attached to it? No. Because if Joe Rogan, if you're listening and there's a UFC fight in town,
Starting point is 00:43:30 Joe Rogan's probably doing stand-up the night before and it's a lot of fun. You should go see him. Also, I can't recommend enough watching UFC fights. It was my first time seeing one live and I had a blast. Fortunately, Brian had a little weed so we went to his room and got high first. Because if I wasn't high,
Starting point is 00:43:45 I might have gotten under my chair or something. Because it is so brutal and so exciting to watch in person. It just taps right into your chimpanzee DNA. Yeah. If they threw a rock in there and somebody used it, I would stand up. Stand up and applaud.
Starting point is 00:44:02 And I generally am not. I'm anti-violence But that is awesome violence What people worry about What people worry about When it comes to this kind of stuff Is that the acceptance Of this kind of violence Is going to lead to
Starting point is 00:44:13 You know Heightened things It's sort of like the internet You know What You know You get so numb After a certain point in time
Starting point is 00:44:19 Like you need more And more extreme things Like if they really wanted To go Christians and the Lions If they really put it on TV and we accepted it, I'd fucking watch it. We'd all watch it.
Starting point is 00:44:30 They'd have a dude with a sword and a tiger and they locked him in this big pit filled with dirt. Whoa, that's going to be on TV? I'd watch it. What do you think? Do they have ring girls? Running man. I think people at a certain...
Starting point is 00:44:43 While we're evolving, we need to be controlled a little bit. I think it's not a bad thing. Yeah, yeah. You're saying you'd watch it, but you're not necessarily for it. Yeah. So I think MMA is like the end. I think that's as crazy as shit could get.
Starting point is 00:44:55 I think it takes it up enough. I had such a fun time, but I wasn't like, oh, if only... There was lasers. Come on. He beheaded him. Where are the weapons? With a fatality move. With some sort of spike in there. Fatality. Yeah so that you're right it's it's just right it's just right there let's stop there let's agree as a race yeah yeah but uh but check it out when you
Starting point is 00:45:14 get a chance i mean that would be better than wars just have mma bouts between countries five-man team to represent just like you know bring them in there represent every white class oh you guys got your ass kicked. How about you shut the fuck up and get out of Kuwait? Be real simple. I like to go out on the biggest laugh in the show and that was pretty much going to be it. That's impossible.
