Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds with 50 azepop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies!
Wow, what a fantastic, wonderful turnout.
I'm excited that you guys are here, honestly.
It's really nice for people to show up.
Welcome to Doug Benson's I Love Movies here at the UCB Theater in Los Angeles.
That theme song was by a hard and firm and very talented pair of dudes
that write songs that gnaw to the center of your brain.
And that was one of them, my theme song.
And they do a lot of great shows here at UCB, so check out UCB at UCBtheater.com.
And theater is spelled R-E because it's fancy.
because it's fancy.
And before I bring out my guests for today, I just want to say that I'm working on a film project
that you can see the cameras floating around here in the theater.
Basically, the premise of the movie is,
you know Super Size Me where that guy ate McDonald's for 30 days
and filmed himself and called it a movie?
guy at McDonald's for 30 days and filmed himself and called it
a movie. Well, I'm
going to smoke, I am
smoking pot for 30 days
and filming it. And my
movie's called Super High Me.
Super
High Me. You have to say
high me far enough apart so it doesn't
sound like super high me, which sounds like
a really great
Jewish fellow named high me
so it's going to be called super high me and uh we're really making it and this is day 21
of uh for me of uh smoking pot all day every day and uh it's going great
um you know i mean the podcast will start when you click on it,
but you may have noticed tonight that this show was extremely punctual in its start.
So I appreciate that you guys got here on time for us to start on time.
And that said, I'll bring out our guest.
I just want to be up front about being super high right now
because you know
I think it's fair
I think it's the fair way to go
I think I could have tricked you
I think I could have gotten through the entire show
without you ever going oh there's something wrong with Doug
but that's because I'm usually high
alright let's bring out
my guest today on I Love Movies
is the co-writer and star of
Melvin Goes to Dinner, an indie
movie that is awesome. If you want to
check it out, it's available on DVD.
He's the director of the movie
and TV versions of The Comedians of
Comedy and the director
of Super High Me.
Please welcome a man who's very
sick of looking at my face,
Michael Blyden, everybody.
Please give it up for Michael.
Mikey B. in the heezy.
Hey, buddy.
Hi.
It seems wrong.
It seems wrong that I would be doing this with you now.
Suddenly, you know, the idea that I would be taking part in this.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
That you're a guest on my podcast while directing a movie that's filming this podcast?
Yeah, it seems weird.
All right.
It seems like it violates something.
All right.
I mean, I'll go along.
Well, you know, you kind of blew my surprise, but at the end of the show, I was going to violate something.
And now it's out in the open, so you won't be like, hey, where'd that come from?
You'll be more like, oh, I saw that coming, but I still don't like it.
So don't look at my notes.
That's not fair. I have notes because
it's a podcast.
So screw the live audience.
I'm going to sit here and stare at this piece of paper.
But we're one of the better
live audiences in
Los Angeles.
We're in Los Angeles, so any live audience you know, we're in Los Angeles, so
any live audience is really, really exciting.
So thank you guys for coming.
You're creeping me out a little bit.
First you got the violating thing
and now you're like really leaning in.
I guess I'm leaning in too.
We gotta lean into it and yet somehow do it
in a manly way where it doesn't look like we're about to kiss.
That's really important
to me, is to not look like we're about to kiss. That's really important to me, is to not look like we're about to kiss.
Movies. We're here to
talk about movies. You direct them.
You've been in
some.
What do you like?
Have you seen anything lately? Have you been too
busy making super high me?
I watched a couple things while we were traveling.
District 13
is a French action movie, and it was great.
It was great.
You know, just great stunts.
Like a guy actually jumping off a building from one balcony to another.
But, you know, you know he's really doing it.
And it was phenomenal.
It got me way more than, you know, some composited thing
where you can tell that it's several layers
and that it's a guy jumping onto a wrestling mat.
And then they throw it in.
Right.
You can tell they're doing the stunts.
The stunt choreography is amazing.
And the plot is so dumb,
but you're honestly like,
yeah, get to the next run-in and jump-in sequence.
When he jumps from one balcony to the other,
does he scream,
Merd! And then it says,
subtitle at the bottom,
neat.
You're just saying that.
He doesn't do it.
No, he doesn't.
So you're just...
I don't have a topper
for what he does say.
That's a problem.
No, he does say Sacre Bleu. Would have been a a topper for it, for what he does say. That's a problem. No, he does say Sacrebleu.
Would have been a good topper.
Let me think of some more.
What else would have been a good one that I couldn't think of?
I'm French.
J'écris en français.
That's I'm yelling in French.
He'd yell I'm yelling in French. J'écris en français. That's I'm yelling in French. He'd yell I'm yelling in French.
J'écris en français.
Did you see that guy jump from one balcony to another?
Yeah, but who cares about that?
He yelled j'écris en français.
That's the crazy part.
What else have you seen?
I'm here with Michael Blyden, director, actor, comedian.
I did see something else.
I'm blanking on what it was.
You can't remember what it was?
Yeah.
Oh, you know what?
I watched March of the Penguins and Step Into Liquid.
You know, just the big documentaries from last year.
Right.
I hadn't seen them.
All the water-themed.
Yeah, yeah. I watched them both on one plane ride.
Oh, wow. It would be fun to switch back and forth
on the tracks
and just pretend that the penguins
are having a happy surf holiday occasionally.
Why does it have to all be winter
and despair and babies?
No, it doesn't have to be that.
It doesn't have to be that.
Wow, so you had your own little two-film documentary fest.
Yeah, well, doing...
Which one got the palm to oar in your documentary festival?
I can tell you the documentary, you know, because of what you and I are doing,
you kind of, because I started working in documentaries,
I started trying to watch more of them.
So it's like, you know, the best documentary on some levels
has to be Grey Gardens.
And it seems like kind of nerd, you know,
like such a predictable thing to say or such a,
it's either like stereotypically eclectic
or, you know, you feel like you sound like, you know,
like that guy for saying that you love that movie.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm self-conscious about it, but I really do love it.
I feel like it's like Cassavetes, saying? I'm self-conscious about it, but I really do love it. I feel like it's
like Cassavetes, too.
I'm not a student of film, so then suddenly
you start being into the things that film students
are supposed to learn about, and then you like them, and
you, you know, it
sounds lame, but it's true.
Yeah, I couldn't follow any of it, but
I heard Cassavetes in there.
That one always throws me for a loop. Do you ever watch it? I've seen a lot of Cassavetes in there. That one always throws me for a loop.
Do you ever watch it?
Because I've seen a lot of Cassavetes, and I don't particularly get it.
I mean, maybe I should watch even more now,
because it seems like he was just way ahead of his time.
A lot of things have kind of come along.
Like, reality TV is almost like what his movies were like, right?
I mean, you know, with the handheld cameras and the, you know, kind of like soapy plot lines.
It's hard to say because I'm not that good at criticism, to be honest.
Did you just love everything?
I did. When I was in high school, I loved everything. I remember saying that good at criticism, to be honest. Did you just love everything? I did.
When I was in high school, I loved everything.
I remember saying that to friends.
I have no critical faculties.
I love every movie.
I was just always happy seeing it.
Why couldn't we talk about this before you came on to direct this movie that I'm getting so high for?
I did develop it.
That would be great.
Anytime you sit down with somebody.
I have no taste.
I have no opinions about movies.
I think they're great.
As long as shit's moving around, I'm happy.
If things get very still, I'm upset.
You're looking at me like you're like you're filming the scene i know i can't get out i can't
get out of that mode where i just am you know i want to hear the thing that you're going to say
and it's such a it's such a process being a you know uh directing a documentary with you is so
much about um you know it's so much about uh, suppressing your own ego in the moment and just becoming a,
a watcher. You're just a witness to everything. And so you, you cease to, you, you're not trying
to express yourself in, in the life that you're experiencing. So you just let everyone else talk
most of the time. And then sometimes your ego sort of overcompensates when you, you know,
like when you, when you're then alone, you talk too much.
Well, you know how it's funny you should mention that because you know how when we interview people about medical marijuana and such things,
that's what their answers are like.
Very long and very dangerously close to not getting to a point.
But you made it, though.
Yeah, I had a thesis.
You got there. You worked it through. I had a thesis. You got there.
You worked it through.
I had a thesis for it.
You made it happen.
But that's what we've been listening to a lot.
We've been talking to a lot of people involved in the marijuana cause.
And it's maddening.
It's maddening to sit there and listen to them.
It's just maddening.
I can't.
We met the dude that inspired the dude in Big Lebowski today.
And I couldn't figure out a way to ask him it.
I wanted to just kind of imply, you know,
but the thing they didn't base on you was that Jeff Bridges didn't talk constantly
and never let anyone else speak.
I mean, that's the attribute that the Coen brothers went,
we don't need to put that in there.
We can make him really awesome.
And the guy was really super nice, but really...
And so knowledgeable.
He really enjoyed talking, and quite knowledgeable.
And quite knowledgeable.
Like, here's all the knowledge I have.
And the problem was that in the coverage,
Brandon had Jeff Dowd, and I had you.
So for an hour and a half, I was just
filming this.
Yeah, me just listening. And then he's going, you're the dude.
Yeah.
No, there's really hardly anything more sobering than listening to him talk.
And there's been hundreds of hours of it. Hundreds of hours of just witnessing just
tedium.
I mean, it's such a weird thing, and yet I haven't really gotten that impatient with it.
It's only in reflecting about it.
No, you're good.
You're certainly more patient with them than I am.
I just kind of get, you know, I'm just like, because oftentimes some of these speeches just end with somebody lighting up a joint,
and I'm just like, get to the ceremonial part, pass the talking part,
which we can't do here.
This has to be all talking.
So let's talk about some more movies.
But that was awesome, whatever it was you were just talking about.
So movies that have kind of been out lately, you haven't been out to the theater because you've been talking about. So movies that have kind of been out lately,
you haven't been out to the theater because you've been too busy shooting.
No, I haven't.
I haven't been out to the theater.
The only movie I saw with you,
it was with you with Snakes on a Plane.
Yeah, we saw Snakes on a Plane together,
which was like...
People like to say that,
oh, you didn't like Snakes on the Plane
because you went in with the wrong attitude.
Don't you think we totally went in with a winning
attitude, like we were there for all
the right reasons? We were on break.
We were taking a little break for ourselves, which we
don't often do. We were
laughing because we got to walk through the
casino into the movie theater
for free. We were in Tahoe at the time, so
you walk through a casino
to get to the movie theater. We got a huge tub of
popcorn, sodas,
and there was me, you, and Alan Havey.
Could have gagged around the whole movie.
You know what I don't like, though?
I don't like reaching in to popcorn that's on a dude's lap.
I just, the whole time, I'm like,
Mickey Rourke, Mickey Rourke, Mickey Rourke.
Or when I showed up, I said,
Diner, diner, diner.
I got him, I got him.
You got it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're good, okay. I expected,er, diner? I got them. I got them. You got it? You're good.
I expected like applause or something.
Thank you very much.
Thanks.
But yeah, I can't do that.
I can't reach into the popcorn on the dude's lap.
I mean, I did it with you because I felt like, you know,
I don't know, something about you.
I didn't think you were going to stick your dick through the bottom of the tub.
There's just something about you.
You know what?
A clue that the dick is going to be in there is when they ask for it buttered.
Because in that way, as long as she's grabbed your dick, it's lubed up.
Say your new joke.
Let's do this.
Oh, my new joke.
Yeah.
Oh, well, that sort of gives it away a little bit, what I was just saying. But I like that Purell stuff that you put on your hands, that hand sanitizer.
Right?
Is that how it goes?
I thought you were going to start it with, sometimes I.
Oh, right.
Sometimes I like to put on that Purell hand sanitizer.
Right?
Like that?
No, it wasn't quite.
Sometimes.
How does it go?
Sometimes I masturbate with Purell hand sanitizer. Oh, that's it.
That's it.
That's the key word, masturbate.
Sometimes I masturbate with Purell hand sanitizer because...
You want me to give you the punchline?
No, I know what it is. I just want to say
it right.
Sometimes I masturbate with Purell
because... Especially.
Especially. Shit, that's it.
That was the key word, was the
intensifier. Some days when I come home
I masturbate using Purell,
especially on days when
my dicks are glottal hands.
Oh, that's so stupid.
I'm going to have so much fun.
That's like, I could tell,
you know, all of my other jokes can just be old
and boring and I don't give a shit.
Just knowing I'm going to say that at some point during a set
is going to make me so happy on stage
for the next few weeks.
I've got to fucking learn it, though.
Jesus, that was bizarre.
Masturbate.
Purell.
He had to give me everything.
All I had was that I wrote a joke today.
I wrote another joke recently.
We were in San Francisco over the weekend.
That inspired me to write a joke.
This guy has this talking dog, right?
And this other guy's like,
I don't believe that's a talking dog.
And he says, well, I'll ask him some questions.
And the guy goes, okay, dog.
Who's the greatest baseball player ever lived?
Roof!
What's the thing on top of a house? Roof.
Name a
tourist attraction in San Francisco.
Wharf.
Be more specific.
Fisherman's Wharf.
I wanted to do that joke all weekend
in San Francisco,
and I get chickened out every time.
Oh, that's a great joke.
Because I was just like, that is so fucking retarded. That's a great joke.
That is worthless.
That's such a surprise.
You're processing it as you're going through it.
At first you're like, oh, I'm so psyched this joke's happening right now.
It's such a great joke.
He's teaching the dog.
You know it's going to be funny.
Then the second row, if you're like, oh, maybe I totally misjudged it.
Maybe it's really not funny at all.
Maybe it's something that's going to be really predictable,
and now I'm up here and I have to respond to it.
And then.
Which most people, thank God, don't have to think that process through.
I'm up here and I have to respond to it.
That's what everyone goes through.
That's everyone's process.
I'm in this chair. I have to respond to it. I have to be quiet or laugh. I'm up here and I have to respond to it. Nope, that's what everyone goes through. I'm in this chair. I have to respond
to it. I have to be quiet
or laugh. I'm ready to move on.
Alright. That was good though.
You really went the distance.
But then it goes somewhere else.
What about that movie Science of Sleep? It's been out
for a few weeks now. Well, I'll tell you something.
I didn't like
Death Cab for Cutie
until I heard that song in that trailer
and then I liked them
you liked them all across the board
everything they do
because of that one scene
I just felt like on some level
they represented something
that I just emotionally
didn't understand
and then their music played in that trailer
and then I thought oh I'm open to them.
I still haven't bought an album.
But that imagery is so innocent and so sweet,
and all I've seen is the trailer.
And yeah, that looks pretty phenomenal.
The movie?
Yeah.
All right.
It's pretty awesome that you're like, it looks phenomenal.
It does.
When do you think you're going to see it?
Right away.
DVD?
As soon as it comes out.
It's already out.
Oh.
I was toying with seeing it while we were in San Francisco.
But,
yeah,
looks like an interesting movie.
Oh,
and interestingly cast,
that woman is like so cute and she's so not,
you know,
she's...
Oh,
Gail Burnell.
Yeah.
Yeah. He is cute. is so cute and she's so not... Oh, Gail Bernal Garcia?
Yeah.
He is cute.
I got so many things I want to get into with you.
Putting my phone on vibrate, because that'll be rude
if it rings.
Fisherman's Wharf.
Easily distracted.
Fisherman's Wharf!ily distracted Fisherman's Wharf
Can I tell you something else I like about that joke?
I'm not even sure why it's funny
You know what I mean?
I can't tell you what the joke is
I can't tell you what it's lampooning
Or that anyone's made a mistake
And that I'm laughing at that
I don't even know what's funny about it
Well I'll tell you
Genesis is just I think the word wharf is funny
because it sounds like a dog barking to me.
And then I thought of that old joke
where the guy goes through and says,
originally the joke goes like this.
What's on top of the house?
Roof.
Who's the greatest baseball player?
Roof.
And then the guy's like,
this dog can't talk. Fuck you.
I mean, not in the old version, but I threw that in.
And he leaves.
I thought the guy needed to be madder about it
instead of just leaving. Fuck you.
That dog doesn't talk.
You fucking asshole.
And then he leaves. He really
lights into him. And then he leaves
and the dog looks at the owner and goes
Did I upset DiMaggio?
Yeah.
So,
I basically just stole that joke.
Yeah, but...
But added my own
now it doesn't make any sense twist.
It doesn't make any sense.
Yeah.
Except for,
you know what's funny about it?
Here's what's funny about it.
Here's what's funny about it.
Is that the...
Is that he...
Is that even though he talks
English, he... You find out he does talk still like a dog would bark.
Right.
Yeah, yeah.
It's not one of those talking dog movies where they have a man, a dude voice.
Like it's not Charles Grodin's voice.
Yeah.
No, it's not.
Was he the voice of, oh, in Dr. Dolittle?
One or two?
Beethoven?
Beethoven. Was he the voice? No, he was just the disgruntled dad of the family who didn't like Beethoven. Oh, and Dr. Doolittle? One or two? Beethoven? Beethoven?
Was he the voice?
No, he was just the disgruntled dad of the family who didn't like Beethoven.
But learned to love him always.
All over again.
Beethoven 5.
I hate you, Beethoven.
Oh, you saved my children.
Thank you, Beethoven.
That's a pretty good Grodin, like, without rehearsing.
You saved my children.
Thank you, Beethoven.
Now he's sounding
really Jewish
which he kind of does.
So Entertainment Weekly
recently named
the 50 best
high school movies
of all time.
You have a guess
Michael Blyden
what would be number one?
Breakfast Club.
Or 16 Candles.
Breakfast Club
is number one.
16 Candles
49.
Yeah, he improved that much as a filmmaker.
In between the two.
Somebody took him aside after 16 Candles and said,
No.
You don't need to do that after something funny happens.
You don't have to hit a gong when an Asian guy walks in.
Just
be honest and tell the story of the kids.
Then you fucking made
The Breakfast Club. Number one.
I love Breakfast Club.
50 best high school movies of all time.
Did you love it? I did like it.
But then again,
number two, Fast Times at Richmond High.
Which is appropriate. Because that movie is the shit. It, number two, Fast Times at Richmond High, which is appropriate because that movie is the shit.
It's number two.
Dazed and Confused is number three.
I like that movie a lot, but you know what that movie reminds me of?
If Altman made a movie about hazing and pot.
That's really, that's very, very true. He's one of the few people that could do it because that was a it. That's the weird thing to me about Dazed and Confused
is that there's a bunch of
hippie pot smoker happy people
and then these aggressive people
that fucking paddle the shit out of little kids
and yet those guys
smoke pot too.
So it's like there's no good pot message there.
It's just like you can...
Actually there is.
If you can smoke pot, you can be anything.
You can be nice or a dick.
Everything's wide open to you.
There's one thing I love about Dazen.
I try and learn lessons from things that I think that I would fuck up or mess up emotionally.
And they couldn't get the rights to the song Dazen Confused.
Right.
And I feel like
if i were in that situation where i had written this movie fall in love with the title made the
movie and then someone said the rights to the song are too much i would be crushed i would be crushed
and i'd be like you know just despondent over it and and their response was oh we can still call
the movie that which they can legally you can call you know a song title isn't copyrightable
so they can call the movie that and the song song isn't in there, and it still works.
The title is still evocative of what they wanted it to be.
I love that they did that.
I don't know if I would have thought to be like,
oh, well, we'll just call it that, and we don't need to have the song in it.
Pick one of these. That's what I am right now.
I'm pretty dazed and confused.
You're confused.
Who was that song by? Aerosmith?
Seriously?
No, who is it?
It's a Led Zeppelin song.
Oh, Led Zeppelin.
Yeah.
So that's why I said Aerosmith,
because why not just get an Aerosmith song?
And?
And call the movie Sweet Emotion.
Any song title would really be a good
Taking Care of Business.
Fly Like an Eagle.
And then in parenthesesesis To the sea
How are we doing on time?
Oh shit
Here
You know how to play Leonard Maltin, right?
You've seen me play it?
Yeah, I'm

While I finish up the Entertainment Weekly
These are the 50 best high school movies

Number four is Rebel Without a Cause
Overrated If you ask me Number four is Rebel Without a Cause.
Overrated, if you ask me. Number four?
Best high school movie?
When I was watching
an ice cream, you're boring me apart.
It's kind of a twist
on the line, he says. Okay, we're ready to play Leonard Maltin.
Yeah, I have an interesting one.
Don't let me see it. Just so I'm clear,
the cast, it doesn't start at the bottom of the paragraph.
Let's clear it for you and the listeners.
I'm going to read the cast in order of billing backwards.
Backwards, from the bottom.
Start with the year.
You tell me what year.
Okay, but the cast...
He's randomly chosen a movie in Leonard Maltin's book of movie titles.
So the way these things go is he lists the cast and then does the synopsis.
So I don't...
I just...
The cast is...
We don't mess with the synopsis.
You just start reading the cast from the bottom.
You ready to do it? Yeah. Okay, 1997... Thanks for bringing up the synopsis. You just start reading the cast from the bottom. You ready to do it?
