Doug hates candy wrappers, skinny babies, sticky seats with 50-ass and pop-up kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see, but Doug loves movies.
Hey everybody.
Oh, let me just get settled here before there's some...
As you can see, there's four chairs.
So that's always exciting.
That's always one too many.
And then...
Makes Sam Levine angry.
But also, one of the four is having traffic issues.
So this might be one of those suspenseful ones.
But I think they're pretty close.
A mile and a half's not too far, right?
You guys are laughing because you're in Los Angeles,
and you know there's something going on
at the Chinese theater or something,
because it was hard for me to get over here.
But I always come over really early.
Let's start the show.
My name is Doug and I love movies!
And this is Doug Loves Movies!
That might be the best yet, Los Angeles.
Yeah.
You got there.
Sometimes on the road when I say it,
there's so much enthusiasm that it just sounds like...
Coming to you from our semi-weekly home, the UCB Theater on Franklin Avenue in Los Angeles, California.
On Tuesday, May 6, 2014, Wolf of Wall Street fight Terminator 2, Judgment Day of the Dead,
Men Walking Tall, The President's Men,
and Blackfisher, King Ralph, and Dog Day Afternoon,
Delight, Sleeper,
Sleep Perfect, Murder
by Death.
Yeah, thank you.
Got lots of stand-up and Doug Loves Movies
tapings and movie interruptions coming up,
so go to DougLovesMovies.com
to find the show nearest
you and DougLovesSearch.com so that you'll have something to wear to the show.
The prize bag includes some silly things that I brought, like a Doug Loves Movies shirt and a Gateway Doug CD.
But it's got some other amazing stuff that I'd rather just dig out once the guests are out here,
if they're all here.
Three of them are here for sure.
I was just talking to them.
Please welcome previous game winners,
Brian Bishop and Nick Thune,
along with Robert Kirkman and Jon Favreau.
All right, yes, three out of four.
The traffic outside has come to a dead halt
and Robert Kirkman
is stuck in it
so he'll get here
when he gets here
and I hope that
the folks here at UCB
will just escort him
to the stage
when that happens
whenever he shows up
he'll get his own
round of applause
he's probably using
Apple Maps
because I use Waze
and you've got me
around all that stuff.
I'm a dedicated guy though.
That's Nick Thune
everybody.
Who
according to my notes
you won
the show
at CineFamily.
You beat Griffin Dunn
with his daring assertion
in Asparagus P
that the movie that pretty much
sounds exactly like Citizen Kane
is actually Touch of Evil.
He was very committed to that.
You had the wrong year, though.
I had the wrong year, but that wasn't the year
that Touch of Evil came out, either.
That's Jon Favreau, you guys.
Actor, director,
new movie coming out
called Chef,
and actually listens to this show.
How long have you been a listener for?
You were just waiting to run into me
at a party before finally
admitting it and coming on?
I like listening to it. I don't think I'm going to be very good at it.
That's not important.
I know, clearly.
It's nice.
But I ran into you, and I told you I liked it,
and you invited me on, and I said, yeah.
And Edgar Wright was there, and he said,
you've got to do his show.
It's a lot of fun.
Right, Edgar says that to everybody, which I love.
That's why we love him.
He's like the best guesser through him.
That's how I got Nick Thune. Edgar? Yeah. He's why we love him. He's like the best guesser through him. That's how I got Nick Thune.
Edgar? Yeah.
He's always right. I had to go around Adam Carolla
to get... Brian Bishop is here, everybody.
So is your book still a thing? Does that expire?
Should we promote it some more?
Yeah, you missed your window, Doug. I'm sorry.
Oh, shit.
The book came out on Tuesday.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So this is great timing.
This is perfect.
Coming back and talking about it some more.
Yeah.
You brought me one that has stuff written on it.
I'm excited to go home later and look at it,
like a high school yearbook.
When you don't look at it until later and you're like,
oh, they drew so many cocks.
Keep in touch. Have a great summer.
Penis.
Cock.
But I assume you didn't do that to mine.
But we have a copy here for the winner tonight.
Have you pre-signed this?
I have not, but I will sign it for the winner.
Oh, let's go ahead and sign it.
Yeah, let's get that signed.
It's called Shrinkage.
And it's out now.
Yeah, who's got a pen?
It's available.
I got a Sharpie right here, buddy.
Set it on down.
Wow, that was like an old-timey Western.
Whiskey and a Sharpie.
And yeah, Brian won a couple last time we did a show here, I believe.
Two weeks ago.
Who did you defeat?
Oh, no one.
Just John fucking Hamm.
Oh.
And James Evaniak.
You took down the hamster.
Oh, he's in a wheel of regret.
He was at that same party.
He seemed in good spirits.
Yes, I would be too if I was Jon Hamm.
God, it's so great to be him.
Just walking around, just being him.
Are you speaking from experience?
He's so in your head, too, because those Mercedes commercials are on all the time.
It's just like, John, we get it.
We need to work harder to get that car.
They come on during Mad Men, too, and it kind of throws off the whole year thing for me.
He went into the future.
That's good to know that he's still in the ad game,
but now he's doing voices.
Who is that Travago guy?
Who is that guy supposed to be?
He's strangely intense.
Yeah.
The Travago guy who's like kind of disheveled,
but kind of together,
but really intensely looking at you.
I'm sort of casual.
I don't wear a belt.
I'm like Joaquin Phoenix in Her.
I'm a sensitive future guy who doesn't wear a belt.
Do you know what we're talking about, John?
No, this is at home, though.
I could fast forward this part.
Yeah.
I didn't know Doug loves commercials so much.
15 seconds, 15 seconds.
I thought this was about fucking movies.
Well, you know, buckle in,
because when Robert Kirkman gets here,
we're going to talk about TV for a little bit.
You like that show?
Yeah, Walking Dead.
I fucking love it.
Although they upped the game on Game of Thrones,
they got zombie babies now.
So I wonder how they're going to respond.
Spoiler alert.
That was my favorite part of Twilight
Part 5 is when there was a baby
vampire and they had
to throw it into the fire.
And then the movie's
got a PG-13 rating.
That wasn't a person, that was a baby
vampire. And fucking chefs
in R because we say fuck more than once.
How many times?
More than once.
How many fucking times, John?
It's not Wolf of Wall Street, but it's...
Oh, okay.
Who brought this shirt?
Me.
What is it?
That is a cause we can all get behind.
That is a Fight the Patton Trolls t-shirt.
Oh, very nice.
These are people that hate Patton Oswalt?
Yes.
That's exactly what it is.
Yeah.
Well, you know, trolls are the first to hate on other trolls.
It's really a troll on troll crime.
Patton would be the first to admit it.
That is a sad thing.
Such a cliche.
My heart goes out to Patton and his family.
He'll get through it.
Look, there's a walking dead.
Like, his gifts got here.
The traffic didn't keep a hat from getting here.
They probably use Google Maps.
But there's that shirt I talked about.
But what did you bring, John?
You brought some cool stuff.
Oh, I got some good stuff, yeah.
What'd you bring?
Describe it.
Well, one is the soundtrack from Chef,
a great soundtrack,
and the cover was actually designed by Robert Downey Jr.
And it's pre-signed, pre-signed.
And the other thing is, if you dig deep, there's a Chef challenge coin, for those of you with military experience.
There we go.
Heads or tails.
Not available in stores.
There it is, Chef is With a food truck
On the other side
It's got a nice heft to it
It's like
Would just be a fun thing
To have
Yes
Could be good for
A good marker
For a poker game
A good button
Yeah you're right
Yeah
Gotta protect your man
Here we go
Oh here he is
John nice to meet you Yeah it's Brian here he is!
John, nice to meet you.
Yeah, that's Brian down on the end there.
How's it going?
How are you, sir? How are you?
You won the game.
We all screwed up.
See you later.
No, thanks for, you know, I know what it's like, the LA traffic, getting across.
Hollywood was the problem?
The problem is that I left later than I should have.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's very.
I hate it when people show up at meetings here.
That's a very honest answer.
They're like, oh, the traffic.
It's like, really?
I drove here, too.
Like, I don't know why people do that.
So I left later than I should have.
I thought I could get across town quickly, and then I didn't.
Common. I should have. I thought I could get across town quickly, and then I didn't. Common.
I appreciate your honesty.
And you live across the street at the Scientology Center, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Practically.
We've got some stuff.
Your prizes arrived before you did, so that was cool.
It was impressive.
How'd that happen?
You know.
I clearly picked those out then.
It was impressive.
How'd that happen?
I clearly picked those out then.
It was your idea to have a Walking Dead hat and a Walking Dead lunchbox.
That's pretty cool.
Wow.
Sounds like there might be a human liver inside.
Peanut butter jelly sandwich, probably.
There's actually a Blu-ray of the gray in the lunchbox.
Oh.
Look at this thing.
It's going to bust through this flimsy bag I got at the airport today.
Whoa.
The Walking Dead Compendium One.
Yeah.
It's thick and it's...
You could kill a zombie
with that thing.
You could.
They cast...
What's his name?
The kid, Carl.
They cast him really good.
Yeah.
He looks like that guy.
Right?
Because this was drawn before he was cast.
Yes, it was.
Yeah, yeah.
So they did a good job.
Chandler Riggs.
I picked this up and I was just like,
Carl!
Where's Carl?
Oh, there's Carl.
I don't ever want to lose Carl.
We put him on the cover
because we thought people would be worried.
Where is he?
He just scampers off. We put him on the cover because we thought people would be worried. Where is he?
He just scampers off.
But I love, that's my favorite thing to yell in a mall now.
Just run around, especially one in Atlanta.
Just run around.
Where's Carl?
I'm just dropping everything all over the place.
Nick Thune brought his album Thick Noon,
the CD version.
Thank you.
There you go.
The cover was also designed by Robert Downey Jr.
Oh.
It's a little busier than the chef one.
I think he learned some lessons making this one.
You got to start out somewhere, you know And also in the bag
This goes on and on
Do you know how to play the Leonard Moulton game, Mr. Robert Kirkman?
Yes
Okay, good, then you don't need the instructions
And Johnny Favs knows how to play
I think this is gonna be exciting
Okay, well I'll leave that in front of you just in case
But also, I met these people at Pop's Hot Dogs
Here in Los Angeles,
and they gave me these cards that are good for one free hot dog,
and they gave me 250 of them.
Wow.
So I'm going to put a couple in the bag each week.
That's a good business model.
You should put them all.
We should flash mob them for 250 dogs.
Guys, great news.
We moved 250 dogs today.
Bad news, didn't make a penny.
But they're super nice,
and so I'm going to keep putting those in the bag.
And who brought this thing right here, this DVD?
Me.
Okay, I should have thought that.
You both brought the gray.
What?
No.
What are the odds of that?
Brian brought Liam Neeson and the gray. Yeah, so enjoy that. Which is a odds of that? Brian brought Liam Neeson in The Grey.
Yeah, so enjoy that.
Which is a great movie
if you like watching
Liam Neeson
explain to somebody
how they're about to die.
Every person
that dies in this movie,
he talks them through it.
He really explains
what's going to happen.
Spoiler.
Don't watch it on the plane.
That's all I'll tell you.
Yeah, no,
the plane crash in there is pretty gnarly.
Good call, John.
This is the part of the show...
Well, I've got to ask you guys real quick about...
This is like opening up something on Christmas Day
and then trying to put it back in the box.
It's like it's not going to happen.
All this shit's not going to fit in this bag now.
But let's talk about starting with Brian.
Have you been to the movies since the last time we talked to you?
Actually, no.
I've been in New York.
Perfect.
Jon Favreau.
Have you?
My book, Shrinkage, came out.
What was the last?
Brian's been on a book tour.
He's got a book called Shrinkage.
I've honestly been just seeing Chef over and over again at different screenings.
You watch it the whole way through?
How is it?
It's growing on me.
You weren't sure what to think at first.
But you do like watching it?
I do.
Because it's just fun to hear that audience reaction.
I honestly, when you're, and I'm in it, you know, which I haven't really been a lead in the film, and it's funny, and there's nothing's nothing like you know I know where the laughs are
so I'll kind of
hang out for the parts
to see if they play
and it's a white knuckle ride
every time
when it's your movie
because you don't know
if they're going to like it
or not
are you trying to say
that you've only seen
one fourth of Four Christmases
about a dozen times
no
I love your scenes
in that movie
thank you
you're so fucking funny
in that movie
thank you
if you have never seen Four Christmases,
watch at least his scenes.
Katie Mixon, too.
She's from Eastbound and Down.
She's great.
Really funny.
You're sitting around playing.
What game are you playing?
Taboo.
Taboo.
Oh, God damn it.
That was supposed to be the kid.
It reminds me of this show, that scene.
The way some people, how intensely they play.
Yeah, yeah.
And I was eating those chicken wings, too.
That was a good idea for the first take.
Me just sucking those chicken wings off the bone.
They were from Hot Wings right here.
And I sent them across town to get them,
and they were nice and cold by the time they got to the studio.
And I went for it, man.
I must have eaten six dozen of those things.
And people don't know what actors go through.
No, I know.
It's tough.
You didn't ask for a spit bucket?
I'm method, man.
You're method, man?
I'm method.
So glad I finally got him on the show.
Oh, man, you're good.
What about you, Nick?
What have you seen?
Well, I went and saw myself in the theater this weekend
because I'm in a movie where I play Penis.
You saw Bad Johnson?
I did.
And you're the title character?
It was me and like three people in the theater.
How did you train for the role?
A lot of
masturbation videos. I didn't actually
do it. I was watching it.
But I
really just, you know, it was really
tough to train for this role, to be a villain.
It was very hard. And as a penis, it was
even harder.
Is that like the fucking tagline on the poster
that you just said?
You just slid it into the conversation
I'm just a marketing machine Doug
um
but I did
when I came into the movie
I actually elbowed the guy next to me
um
and I was like
it's me
and he looked at me
and honestly didn't recognize me
how is it done
is it you're just
you're the voice of the penis?
Or it's your face on the penis?
The penis supernaturally becomes a human.
Oh, right, right, right.
So it's just me. Oh, that again.
That old song.
The same old story. And I'm so sick to see this stuff
redone over and over.
The penis movie with the good-looking guy
playing the penis.
It's tough.
Alright.
I love my performance though. I thought I did great.
How soon can people see it? It's in the theaters right now.
Or they can buy it on iTunes. It's in theaters
right now? In like ten cities.
Okay. Not ten cities.
Could you name two of the ten?
Yeah, Seattle, LA,
New York. I's up two.
I asked for two, that's right.
I threw in a third because no one stopped me.
I'm kicked off the show now.
Here's my question for you, Robert Kirkman.
What?
First the traffic and now this.
Got to answer the stoner's question.
I wrote it down.
Hang on.
Take your time.
Take your time.
Had you actually seen Love Actually before casting Andrew Lincoln as Sheriff Rick?
Yes.
Yes.
And you thought that piece of shit from that movie could play a stand-up guy like Rick Grimes?
Well, I mean, I don't know if you've watched the show, but Rick Grimes is kind of a pussy.
I mean, you know.
How dare you?
He screws up a lot.
He gets his ass kicked.
Yeah, yeah, and he has these weird bouts with sanity.
But he filmed that really cool wedding video in Love Actually.
Yeah, he was their wedding videographer.
Yeah, the creepiest wedding video ever.
It's that black guy
that you would tell Elijah for.
He shows up.
His best friend.
Yeah, he's his best friend.
Shows up at the door
with all these cue cards
about how in love with her he is.
And then she kisses him
and they both walk away
like that was a valid exchange.
Everybody got what they wanted out of that.
Oh, some guy loves me.
Oh, I got a kiss.
I hope there's no zombies on this walk home.
But yeah, I was blown away
because I'd seen lots of Walking Dead
before I realized it was that guy.
Same guy.
And now I won't shut up about it.
But he's a good actor.
He's so good.
You guys have a few of those sneaky people
with foreign accents
pretending to be American on the show.
There's a few of those.
There's a few bad actors, too.
I mean, let's be honest.
You're so goddamn good at it.
Who's a bad actor on there?
I'm kidding.
But you don't ever go?
How often do you go to the set?
Do you just stay out here mostly?
I go a bit.
I don't go as much as I should.
I'm leaving to go tomorrow.
Does that count?
Yeah, that's good.
But yeah, I'm there a few weeks,
here and there, you know.
Just walk around. You just kind of stomp around.
I invented this!
This is all mine!
I just take things from people on set.
Oh, no! Yeah.
I created Walking Dead. Give me your hat.
It's like that.
People are like, oh, we got Chick-fil-A for lunch.
And I'm like, alright, give me that sandwich.
I think it's super cool that the cast of that show,
they're all really badass now.
Like how they look, how they dress, how they behave.
Like the zombie apocalypse just took a bunch of actors
and by putting them through the paces of all these seasons,
they're all fucking badasses now.
They could all go off and have careers in action movies of their own.
Yeah, they're nothing like that in real life, though.
I have to stress that.
But no, it's being in Georgia, being in the heat.
Look at how Stephen Yoon has changed in several seasons of the show.
Stephen Yoon in particular, I'll give him crap,
because in between season one and two, he basically was just like,
you know what, I'm going to be buff now.
He spent the entire off season lifting weights and so he showed up for season two and we were like that's not what we wanted why are you doing that so pizzas were real heavy
a lot of heavy pizzas um did i ask you if you've been to the movies lately do you go to the movies
a lot i go to the movies a lot actually I go to the movies a lot, actually.
Yeah, I saw...
I recently saw The Raid 2.
Recently saw...
I saw Amazing Spider-Man the other day.
I heard The Raid 2 is a continuation.
Like, they just do it 20 minutes later.
Yeah.
Two hours, I think.
It kind of is, but it has lots of dramatic scenes.
It's not nonstop fighting.
There's a lot of plot.
There's less fighting, but it's a way...
I think it's a better movie.
What fighting is in there is great.
And when someone falls off of something, they hit every rail going down.
Like, it is all as violent as possible.
Yeah.
And it's so fun.
Are both the brothers in it, or does it move on to a whole different?
Only one.
Yeah, there's only one brother in it.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't wait.
Yeah.
I'm going to lose this fucking game.
I can tell already.
You haven't seen The Raid?
I don't know what
you're all talking about.
You don't know what
The Raid is?
I know what it is.
Yeah, yeah.
You guys have seen
The Raid and Raid 2.
I'm just happy that
these won't be answers
because you're talking
about them.
No, I could name
one actor.
Movies we've talked
about in the show.
Yeah, I don't think
I could name any
Indonesian actors,
so I would be terrible
if that movie came up.
And I wouldn't be able
to pronounce them.
I think we've covered everything.
Oh, one thing I want to say.
Dinner for Five,
that show you did, John?
Yes, yes.
What about bringing that back
as a podcast?
Doug, there's five people
on this stage.
Here we are.
All we need is some
chicken wings,
some sloppy joes,
and we got a spin-off.
You know,
what's great about
this whole podcasting movement
is that it's,
I love watching
and listening to
those types of conversations
and it was hard
to pull together then.
Now you could just
throw your earbuds in
and listen to it
whenever you want.
Uh-oh,
you're going to make fun of me now. I'm talking too slow.
You know how Doug does.
I'm PTSD. You should get a little too close to me
backstage. You might have a contact.
I'm PTSD.
I know it's coming. I've heard this show too much.
I'm keeping my head down.
That was a sincere request.
Make that a podcast.
I'll come on it if you want.
Thank you.
I mean, you had amazing guests on that TV show.
It was really fun.
And I would.
It's hard to book. You know how it is.
It's hard to book guests.
But that's like a predecessor of podcasting.
It is.
A lot of podcasting is basically that.
You know, just the conversations and people sitting around.
Can I ask you a question, though?
Is the dinner real?
Like, do you get free dinner?
Yeah, it was.
And it was dinner time, too.
That was what was hard.
Yeah, I didn't want to do it like when you do a movie that you go in when a restaurant's closed.
It's cheaper to shoot that way.
We would find places that were closed, so we'd shoot Sundays and Mondays.
So it would be a real dinner experience with the cameras real far away, real food, film the whole time,
and then build it in the editing room later.
And if there's anything people said that they didn't want to share because they had a few too many drinks or something,
we cut it out.
But you put that on the DVD later, right?
Have you ever thought about making a podcast
about putting me in your next movie?
Yes.
Nice.
That'd be a good podcast.
That's how you got in and knocked up
as you were on this show with Judd Apatow.
You have quite a range
from the roles
that you've played.
Penis.
Penis and not a penis.
Yep.
That's great.
And it's such a change.
That's his resume.
Just penis
and guy in parking lot
who is not a penis.
You can't get more
different than that.
No, no, no.
That's the range
of roles available
in the universe.
Yeah.
Talk to Downey about that.
Did you guys
bring some name tags for our guests to
choose from? Because this is the part
of the show where you guys get to pick who you're going to play for.
I can't see anything.
Los Angeles crowds don't embrace the name tag
thing much lately.
A bunch of jerks.
They're nice people that got here early
and waited in line. Wow, they really do it.
God bless them.
But there are some, yeah.
So if you guys want to go pick who you're going to play for,
while you do that, we're going to do a commercial break.
We'll be right back.
We're back!
And you guys have name tags.
That was really fast.
There wasn't a lot to choose from.
I didn't have time to get my phone out and prepare for this.
Who are you playing for, Robert?
I'm playing for someone named Megan, who did a Megan Must Love Dugs,
which is actually pretty cool.
I didn't catch that at first because the U is pretty small.
Right, right.
So at first I was like, Megan Must Love Dogs?
That's pretty lazy.
They just put their name in front of it.
And then I noticed that little U, and I was like, all right, I chose all right. That's a good one. That's a good one. It went from lazy to charming. Good's pretty lazy. They just put their name in front of it. And then I noticed that little U and I was like, alright, I chose
alright. That's a good one.
Good job, Megan.
Good job, Megan.
Who are you playing for there,
Nick? I've got Aaron.
Oh, I thought you were playing for Dale.
I am playing for Dale's
pale ale, but also
tonight. Oh, it's the hat.
Here, let's take it down so I get a good shot of it. It's Aaron for Wayne's Pale Ale, but also tonight. Oh, it's the hat. It's the hat. Here, let's take it down so I get a good shot of it.
It's Aaron for Wayne's World Hat, Aaron's World.
Doing a good job, Aaron.
Doing a good job.
That's really, like, the listeners are getting a real clear picture of how few name tags they were able to choose from.
That's a good one.
Yeah, John, let me see that one.
Mine's Davidiodrome. It's a thinker. It's a good one. Yeah, John, so let me see that one. Mine's Davidiodrome.
It's a thinker.
It's a thinker.
More than ha-ha funny, but it's, I think, it doesn't look like Videodrome, but it sounds like Videodrome, and I figured that was better for a podcast.
So Davidiodrome.
And remember Debbie Harry.
I don't know how old you are but she was quite
quite the
sultry sex symbol
of the time
and that was
the first time I think
she appeared on anything
but the poster on my wall
or an album cover
are we still on commercial?
oh classic burn
which direction do we go?
cause I had a
yeah now you have an enemy so is he before me or after me? it's like poker Which direction do we go? Because I had a...
Yeah, now you have an enemy.
So is he before me or after me?
It's going to come this way.
We'll see.
We'll see which way it comes.
He gave me the friendly tap on the thigh,
so it meant he didn't mean it.
That was your thigh?
Brian, what is that you're playing with or for?
What's going on over there?
Robin, now I assume she baked this
delightfully smelling thing. Robin, did you make this or just pick it up on the way? No, now I assume she baked this delightfully smelling thing.
Robin, did you make this,
or did you just pick it up on the way?
No, I made it.
That smells like carrot cake.
Don't eat it.
What have we?
What is this?
Banana bread.
Oh, fuck yeah.
Banana bread.
From the dispensary?
Don't eat it.
Is there anything other than
the main ingredients of banana bread?
No.
Yeah, it's just that.
See, she's stumbling.
She's staring.
Oh, there's certainly not razor blades in there.
Don't eat it. Robin, I'm on
chemotherapy. I can't eat stuff like this
if it has anything other than...
No, seriously, is there anything other than banana bread ingredients?
No, just banana bread.
Wonderful. Well, then this shit's gonna get eaten.
Yeah, and let us know
what happened at the hospital
and
how much
it set you back.
How much it set you back?
Yeah,
yeah,
well,
you know,
he's had a lot
of issues
with illness
that I'm sure
he covers
in his book
Shrinkage
that's available now
and yeah,
so I don't
want to get
more sick again.
The epilogue's
going to be
Robin's Banana Bread.
So sad, but finally,
maybe I get some press coverage.
Doug Benson kills
a guest on his show!
All right, let's...
Talk about chips.
We gotta decide
who's gonna go first
amongst all of you
gentlemen tonight.
And the way we'd normally, you know, normally we'd just
There's no normally.
What we're gonna do is we're gonna play
a little game called Doing Lines with Mark.
Mark Wahlberg.
You guys wanna do some lines?
Mark Wahlberg.
Then let's do some fucking lines, boys!
He loves to come by the show.
He loves high f by the show.
He loves high fives, side fives, violent fives.
Those were real hard fives. Yeah, he's slapping them hard.
Please, please, Hammer, don't hurt him.
How you guys doing?
You don't got a what?
Great.
Mark's rocking the duck face.
Mark is going to
say a line from a motion picture.
It's often a motion picture
that Mark enjoys.
So sometimes we're a little stumped.
It's the only fucking movie
I ever got turned down for.
Oh, okay.
Did you read it for swingers?
That's an extra clue.
Here we go.
You guys ready?
You want to do a fucking line or what?
Yeah, so first person on the panel
that says the name of the movie into your microphone
is the winner.
Let's see what he says.
The waiting.
I'm in a store.
I'm singing, and I'm in a store.
Oh, it's an elf.
It is fucking an elf.
That's correct.
Congratulations, Jon Favreau,
for recognizing a scene you directed.
How do you do it?
It's clean living, isn't it?
That deserves a bite of banana bread.
I also liked...
I got fucking turned down for that.
I got fucking turned down for that movie.
Let's just leave that out there.
Which part were you up for? Peter Dink down for that movie. Let's just leave that out there. What?
Which part were you up for?
Peter Dinklage beat him out.
What's that?
Which part were you up for?
The fucking dude
with the tights.
Well, did you,
did that animosity
continue with Will Ferrell
when you weren't together
on the other guys?
No, I was like,
you know what?
Some people with bad teeth
gotta get jobs too.
All right.
Thanks, Mark.
All right, we'll talk Mark. We'll talk later.
We'll talk later?
Is that what you just said?
Sometimes he doesn't leave.
Sometimes he keeps coming back.
So we'll see.
We'll see what happens tonight.
Early apologies
to put your hands together.
Because we haven't even begun
the Leonard Maltin game.
But that's right.
Jon Favreau gets to go first
because he nailed that game.
Sadly, with the
cadence, I almost missed it.
That would have been...
That would have been a great direction to go, I think.
Then we'll go to Brian, and then we'll go
to Robert.
And you get to pick the first category, John.
Okay.
Would you like...
Oh, that worked out good that you got that,
because one of the options is movies that you're in.
Me or somebody at the table?
Someone at the table is in one of these movies.
Okay.
And then your next option is, as suggested on Twitter by Sleepy Geppetto.
That's a position too, isn't it?
Yeah, it's what you do when you don't have wood.
Tell a lie!
Tell a lie!
I'm the man, not the puppet!
Why do you confuse us?
Anger puts Geppetto to sleep.
The suggestion was non-stop.
N-A-A and stop.
So that's films set in India.
And at... yeah, Denver
suggested The Girl with the
Pearl Necklace.
Do you want to guess what that is, John?
No. And respectfully,
I won't. Yeah.
It's bad timing that this came up because you've worked with
this wonderful woman.
Scarlett Johansson has sex. Movies where she
has sex is that category.
So which one of those
would you like to play?
I'll go with the movies
that I'm in.
Movies that you're in, yeah.
I don't know why
I read the other ones.
Could have just avoided that,
all that ugliness.
Would you like a movie
that someone on this panel is in?
Have you been in any movies,
Robert Kirkman?
Nope.
Have you been a zombie
on the show or anything?
Nah, it's not any fun.
Nobody wants that.
So it's between me and...
This guy's been in a shitload of movies.
Brian, no movies?
No movies yet.
Okay.
So would you like a movie that someone on this panel's been in
from 2003 or 2007?
Can I IMDB myself?
No, you cannot.
First of all, IMDB.
And secondly,
there is no second.
Oh, yes.
Give me one.
I'm with words.
Let's go.
Have you ever been on IMDMB?
Let's go.
The Dave Matthews band?
I'll go 07.
07?
Yeah.
Okay.
Keep it interesting.
07.
Three stars from Leonard Maltin for this movie from 2007.
He says about this film that it's over long.
Can be any of them.
And he also says, yeah, Leonard gets sleepy.
Leonard's kind of a sleepy Geppetto.
And he says that it has exceedingly foul-mouthed dialogue.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
From 2007, three stars.
And he lists, bless you, sneezer in the audience,
he lists, bless you sneezer in the audience, he lists
12 names.
How many names do you think you can get it in?
Jon Favreau, director and star
of Chef in theaters Friday.
How many?
How many are there?
12.
Let's start with 12.
It's like you came in here knowing what to do.
Have you ever read his reviews of a movie you've been in, Leonard Martin?
No.
I may perhaps, but not in the compendium.
You're not a review seeker or outer?
I like to read them, but I don't sit and just go through every movie I've done from one reviewer.
I think that would be self-flagellation.
But I read them when they come out.
I'm reading them now. I think Leonard used that
in his review of one of your films.
Self-flagellation.
Brian, what do you think?
It's 07.
Three stars. Tell me what you said
again about it. Overlong.
Overlong.
Foul language.
Lots of foul-mouthed dialogue.
Exceedingly foul-mouthed.
I think I know what it is, but I don't think it's coming back
around to me. The bit at 12
right now? Yeah. Shit.
Zero.
Wow.
Robert, do you know your
options in this situation?
Yeah. Can I go lower than zero?
And if I do that, should I admit that I can see the screen on your phone?
Did you look right at it?
I didn't mean to.
No!
No!
That's really...
It's right there.
What an honest man.
Hey, you're an honest gentleman.
Wait, wait, wait.
I'm not going to get any pleasure from cheating.
I mean, come on.
That's a game.
So I'll go like a negative 100?
Negative 100?
You're going to go negative 12.
You go too many because you can't do that.
You didn't memorize it from glancing at it.
Oh.
He only saw the title, so if he gets into negative names,
he might get into trouble.
Oh, you have to name the names of the animals?
In order.
Yeah, yeah.
Did you look at that?
Oh, in order.
Did you get a good look at that?
Hardly seems to be. Hard of the animals? In order. Yeah, yeah. Did you look at that? In order. Did you get a good look at that?
Hardly seems fair. Dang.
So, yes, you can either say, you know,
and Brian might not even have the right movie.
I might not.
So you could say name it, and then he'll try to guess it.
If he doesn't get it right, you get the point.
This seems illegal.
This doesn't seem fair.
It doesn't seem fair.
Why?
I think you don't know whether Brian knows it or not.
I got this chair.
I mean, it's not like I chose to have the chair next to him.
So it's not really my fault.
There's a good chance that these other gentlemen know it.
So what I would suggest that you do is say negative one,
because all you got to do is name the movie and the top bill performer in it.
And you could probably do that.
And then see what happens when it gets over to Nick soon.
I'll go negative one then.
What the fuck kind of game is this?
I have to say, I do agree with him,
this doesn't seem entirely fair, but I'll take it.
Fuck you, man.
Yeah!
Wait.
Aggressive.
You just wait.
I'm doing everyone on this panel a favor right now.
Okay.
I think, kind of.
I mean, one person's going to get a point,
and the others aren't, but...
I think I know what the movie is.
You think you do?
Yeah.
So you think
you could go negative two?
Name the top two people
in the right order?
Or maybe somebody
who's in it
could name more names
than that.
I'm going to say
negative two.
There you go.
Whoa!
Now we go to Jon Favreau.
See how interesting
this got?
Mm-hmm.
All my dreams
are coming true right now.
These are all your dreams?
I'm a simple man
with a new dream every
30 seconds.
But I just
wanted this to happen, because look at him go.
I'm trying to think. I say name that tune.
Oh, okay. There you go. So name the movie and the
top two people, Nick.
I'm going to say the movie.
Do I say the movie or the people first?
Movie first, but I'm not going to say anything is right or wrong.
So you say all three.
I'm going to say Knocked Up.
Keep going.
And then I'm going to say...
Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen.
In that order?
In that order.
Point to Johnny Favs.
Seth Rogen's top build and then Katherine Heigl.
But Nick Thune is in that movie.
And that's the guy in the parking lot.
Outside the baby store.
Where all the cool guys hang out.
Let's go down to the baby store where all the cool guys hang out. You should have seen.
Let's go down to the baby store.
I keep getting older,
but they stay the same age.
Those babies.
Yeah.
Wow.
I really got scared
by that response.
What's happening, Mark?
I'm going to do a fucking lion dance. Oh, okay. You ready? What's happening, Mark?
I'm gonna do a fucking lion town Oh, okay
You ready?
This is just for fun, but the first person who knows it, just yell it out
Here we go
Whoever gets this right gets to watch Donnie for a day
Wait, that sounds like you're putting them to work
That's like a job
Is it fun to watch Donnie for a day?
He's good at running errands and stuff
Alright, here we go Oh, you get to watch Donnie for a day? He's good at running errands and stuff. All right, here we go.
Oh, you get to have Donnie do your errands?
Whatever you can talk him into.
It's easy.
All right.
Go ahead and say it.
I'm not going to kill you.
No, go ahead and say the line.
I want you to do me a favor.
I want you to tell all your friends about me.
I'm not going to kill you. I want you to do me a favor. I want you to tell all your friends about me. I'm not going to kill you.
I want you to do me a favor.
I want you to tell all your friends about me.
Batman Begins.
I'm not going to kill you.
I want you to do me a favor.
This goes on forever sometimes.
I don't know if Mark knows about this show.
You want another one?
You guys want another one
or you're going to give up?
Let's take another one.
Nobody knows it?
No, I'm going to go
same movie.
Okay, same movie.
Here we go.
Good.
Where does he get
those wonderful toys?
Batman.
It is Batman.
Don't go fucking begins on me.
He's the worst.
It's just surprising that an A-list actor with millions of dollars hangs around the UCB
and does this game.
It is kind of weird that he's here all the time.
Some of them spend it as fast as they make it.
I'm broke. Can I come on a podcast?
No, it's not that.
I just fucking bought this place.
See, there's always an explanation.
There's always an explanation.
Always.
All right, what just happened?
John got a point,
and he challenged Nick,
so we'll start with Brian
and then go to John.
Brian, would you like
Jamie
Cinematics suggested Death Becomes
Hair.
Death Becomes Hair. And that's
movies where Bruce Willis is not bald.
Okay.
Do you notice that sort of thing thing do you spend a lot of time
thinking about
the baldness of others
it's hard not to notice
especially
you know
Bruce Willis wears
the hair piece
you know what I mean
and he shaved his head
rather abruptly
around 12 monkeys
so that was sort of a
that turned the corner fast
it's been wigs ever since
yeah
okay
Yolo Virus
that's movies
where an actor
who played James Bond dies
you only live once virus
or
I didn't even know there was a pool
down there
and that's movies where someone is thrown off a balcony
that's the classic line from
Diamonds Are Forever.
Which one of those do you want to do?
The first two are both good.
Let's do Bruce Willis with hair.
All right.
Shit, I should have done the other one.
The year is 2011.
Wow.
Two and a half stars from Leonard.
He says this movie tells a story in flashback,
and he also says that Bruno, you know, Bruce Willis,
his real daughter, shows up in this,
along with hair on his head.
Nine names. He does not necessarily have to with hair on his head. He does not... Nine names.
He does not necessarily have to have hair throughout the
film. He just has hair in at least
one part of the film?
He's got hair.
What do you want from my life?
How many stars? He's bald straight through most
of the time when he's bald.
How many stars? Two and a half.
Fuck.
I appreciate you swearing off Mike.
Fuck.
Or into it.
Do what you got to do, man.
Are we not supposed to swear?
I don't care.
Oh, okay.
I thought this was a fucking podcast, man.
I don't know what the hell.
This isn't the fucking Walking Dead, man.
The movie I'm thinking of is a four-star movie.
Wouldn't they say fuck a lot if you were running from zombies?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, our show is bullshit.
They would be saying the F word nonstop.
It's a real problem.
Anytime we're writing dialogue, we're like, oh, that's not real.
Gosh darn zombies!
The movie I thought it would be is a four-star movie,
so I'm going to go with six names.
Okay.
Interesting opening bid. What do you got, John?
I'll say name that movie.
I'd be so happy if you just took this down
right now. We're only
two minutes over. You get six names,
buddy. Okay. Alright, here we go.
2011.
Azura Sky is in this movie.
Stacey Travis.
January Jones.
Bobby Slayton.
The Pitbull of Comedy.
Brian F. O'Byrne.
And Troy Garrity.
I dare say the remaining names
would be much more helpful.
Yeah.
Shit.
It's not the movie I thought it was.
Fuck. shit it's not the movie I thought it was fuck
um
it's a tough spot
Looper
what?
Looper
that's the four star
uh
yeah and also
many years later
uh
2011?
is that Touch of Evil
you're thinking of?
I fucked up again.
God damn it!
That's fucking bullshit.
It's 2001.
2001.
But on this show, that's part of the...
Yeah, that's part of reading the green.
Your guess doesn't count. You're still in it.
You're still fine.
Give me a minute.
I'll give you...
I love that.
I should fuck up on purpose
just to get that reaction out of people.
I'll give you the clues again.
It's told in flashback.
Two and a half stars.
Bobby Slayton.
The year is 2019.
Looper 2.
Looper is a time travel movie.
It could pop up different years.
One of his daughters is in it.
I'm going to take a wild guess and say The Kid.
The Kid?
The Kid.
Oh, okay.
That's not a bad guess.
The answer is Bandits.
That was what I was going to fucking say.
I just watched it.
It's so good.
Really?
Yeah, it's so funny.
Billy Bob Thornton kills it, like usual.
Yeah, they have a total wig off through the whole movie, right?
Oh, such a great wig off, yeah.
And then there's that kind of doofus that drives the cars fast.
He's great.
He's a getaway guy.
And then, of course, we've got an Oscar Award winner in there.
Cate Blanchett?
Yeah.
Two-time winner.
Yeah.
She didn't win for that movie.
Well, that means Johnny Favreau is our winner, you guys.
John Favreau.
I'm sorry, Brian.
I think that
Bandits was just a tough one, no matter
how you slice it.
Who's going to come up with that, except for Nick?
Who just watched it two weeks ago.
Claiming that he was going to say that.
No, no. That's the beauty of it.
Sometimes you just walk right into it.
You just happen to have seen it.
Was that a satisfying ending for you, Robert?
I mean, you know, it was all right.
Zoe's next week, right?
Sure.
Yeah, we'll come back for more.
I'll be on time for that one.
John, can you come back?
There's no show here next week, but two weeks from now,
do you want to come back and defend your title?
Me, defend my title?
Yeah.
You don't have to come in at this second,
but I'm just telling you that's an option. Oh, thank you.
That you can come back on May 20th. I'll take that under advisement.
Chef in theaters
Friday in Los Angeles.
In New York. New York.
And then the following week it's Spreading to Other Cities,
16th. So it's a platforming
out. And we'll just keep spreading
and taking down every superhero movie
in its way. We'll see about that.
People are tired of that stuff, man.
I'm glad you moved on to food.
I can't wait to see it.
And Brian, get his book, everybody.
Now you really have to get it, everybody listening to this because of how he was robbed tonight.
I'll take the sympathy book.
Go sympathy by his book, Shrinkage.
And Robert Kirkman,
when is Walking Dead coming back?
Oh God, put me on the spot.
October something.
Okay.
Something.
Thank you for coming in.
You don't have a specific thing
you're trying to promote.
You just said yes to doing the show?
Yeah, I thought it'd be fun.
I was wrong.
No, I'm kidding.
I just can't wait till
some news service picks up. Robert Kirkman says
his own show is bullshit.
I stand by it.
Okay, that's fair.
Or, John, you could come
to Denver on May 13th or Las Vegas
on May 15th. I'm doing shows
in both of those places. That'd be
fun for you to travel to another city and do this.
Sure. We'll bank it a movable feast.
Oh my god. I can't believe you just
pretended to say yes.
And I'll be
in Andrew Lincoln, Nebraska
doing stand-up at the Bourbon Theater
on May 12th. And Nick,
what do you got going on? The movie, Bad Johnson.
VOD.
Is it on VOD?
Yeah, on demand.
Yeah, you know me.
They have that really great process of releasing it first and then the theaters.
And there were only three people in the theater, you said?
Yeah, well, it's, I mean, I think people say it's better than Spider-Man.
It's just no one's watching it.
But also, I'll be at the Atlanta Improv.
You know, if you don't want to see the movie,
I'll do the whole movie live.
May 29th through the 31st.
That guy was such a dick.
Good show, though.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What are the dates there?
29th through the 30th.
Improv in Atlanta?
First, yeah.
You played there before?
No.
Was it good?
I've heard.
I play at a place I call the Zombie Barn in Atlanta
because it's the punchline
and it looks like a zombie barn.
Oh, yeah.
And I always try to get people from Walking Dead to come on
and it never works out.
The closest I got was I got a lady who gives Walking Dead tours.
What?
I know.
You should have let me know, man.
I'll help you out.
You got the Padron here, though.
All right, I'll let you know next time.
Was she on her tour?
What?
You got the big man showed up to your show here, though.
That's showing some allegiance
to the
Doug Loves Movies brand
no that's
now I don't want
any of the other ones
I wanted them
to get to him
I just kept saying
to my booker
where's Carl
I don't have a booker
there's just me
at home by myself
thank you to all
of my guests
Brian Bishop
John Favreau
Nick Thune,
and the always
irascible Robert Kirkman.
Let me
see back to your name tags, gentlemen,
that lost this evening, and I will
dispense with the shitheads.
And we'll be back
here at UCB in two weeks,
possibly with
Mr. Favreau defending
his title. As
always, George Clooney's
fiance is a
shithead.
Is there no shithead on the hat?
No.
Where's Aaron with the hat?
Come on, Aaron. Can you come down here?
Are you
deep in the crowd? Is it going to take a while?
A little. Okay. That's alright.
Just work on it.
Just get it together. Tyler Perry?
Tyler Perry is a shithead?
That just seems racist.
He was good in Star Trek.
Right, he was great in Star Trek. He was all like,
Hey, I don't think you should do that.
That's a pretty spot on impression.
I thought Tyler Perry was here for a minute.
Hey, we need to get the Bane.
What happened?
We need to get the Bane thing.
Oh, there's no Bane tonight?
No.
Okay, I'll do the last one as Bane.
And Ben Penn is a shithead.
Now it's time for Dubs and Bucks,
another talkie. Eyes unfolded, viewing crowd was big, sick, foggy. now it's time for the ones that other talk he hides
a folded view
and cowers
makes him
foggy
there's no
room in his
heart for you
cause God
loves
movies
