Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seeds with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies!
Hey everybody!
There's a special gift on the table for me.
I think it might have been left by the Zach Galifianakis fairy.
Did you guys see Zach on real time on Friday smoking a joint?
Today, Bill Maher was like, that joint was fake.
It was made out of fake marijuana.
And it's like,
who cares if it was real
or if it was fake?
Everyone in that room
was all right with him smoking it.
So why should it be
any problem at all?
I saw on CNN,
CNN, you know,
they're supposed to be news, right?
They're not supposed to be left or right.
They're just supposed to be the news.
They were like talking to some lawyer and he was like,
well, I'm not sure if charges are going to be
pressed against Zach Galifianakis
for smoking on real time
with Bill Maher on HBO.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Like, who's
buying HBO, watching
Bill Maher and sticking around
for Zach Galifianakis that's going to go, oh, pot, Maher, and sticking around for Zach Galifianakis,
that's gonna go, oh, pot, this is
no. No
to weed.
Like, oh, it's so aggravating.
I'm totally off the paper
already, you guys. My name is Doug,
and I love movies.
This is what weed does
to me.
We're coming to you from Los Angeles
in front of a live audience
on Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010.
That's right, it's election day,
which means by the time this ep plops,
Prop 19 in California will either have passed or not passed.
And I'll be happy or not happy.
But either way, listeners, this is exciting news.
I'll stop talking about pot the vote for now.
It'll be back in 2012, I'm sure, if it doesn't work out tonight.
And if it does work out tonight, that's good too.
I had great, amazing shows last weekend
in San Francisco and Sacramento
at the Punchlines in
both of those cities. Lots of
name tags in the crowd, fun
Len Malton game. Also
good times at the Sac State
show that I did.
We had a screening of Link
at Cinefamily last week. That was amazing.
Elizabeth Shue was a great sport
watching perhaps one of the shittiest
movies ever made
that she unfortunately was
a part of and she could not have
been cooler about it and I got her a promise
to join us in the
future sometime for a screening
of Hollow Man.
Yeah.
So if you live in LA
look for that because
we'll get all the secrets about behind the
scenes of Hollow Man that we
had to bleep when they happened on
this podcast.
This unedited podcast.
And don't forget to watch the premiere of the Benson Interruption
on Comedy Central tonight if you're listening
on the day this comes out.
If you're listening to it after that, then you missed it.
But it'll be on every Friday night at midnight.
And you can go to DougBensonTickets.com
if you want to come do one of the final tapings
at the Music Box in Hollywood on November 15th.
And don't forget, you can see me
at the St. Louis Funny Bone November 8th and 9th
and the Improv in Louisville, Kentucky
November 18th through 20th.
I don't know if Meg Whitman is going to win or not
for her bid for California governor tonight,
but I do know this.
If they make a movie about her,
John Lithgow should play...
Should play Meg Whitman. I know there's a lot
of people that think she looks like
Philip Seymour Hoffman's Circa Boogie Nights.
And that is
true also.
But, uh...
I think John Lithgow
is... You know why I like John Lithgow more.
Philip Seymour Hoffman comes on the podcast.
I will vote for him to play Meg Whitman.
But since he has not,
I'm all about John Lithgow
for any part that he seems like he'd be right for.
So anyway,
I feel like a Make-A-Wish kid tonight
because I love the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,
and I won't stop talking about how much I love it,
and it's out on DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday, November 9th.
So now please welcome director Edgar Wright
and stars Michael Cera and Aubrey Plaza.
There they are.
It's totally them, you guys.
So go ahead and grab your microphones and say everything that you say into them
because that's what we're here for,
is to make a podcast.
Of course, the live people can hear us.
It's a tiny theater.
But Edgar, Aubrey, Michael.
Hello.
I like that.
That's like a total British talk show. Edgar, Michael. Hello. I like that. That's like a total British talk show.
Like the
Edgar, Michael, Aubrey.
Hello.
For those listening at home,
I'm wearing a top hat and monocle as well.
Oh, if you only.
If you directed movies with a top hat
and monocle,
then all the
pre-publicity would be so amazing
that everyone would rush out
to see your movies when they open
I got pulled over by the police today
because for committing the heinous act
of talking on my phone while I was driving
well that is more dangerous
than drunk driving
and I got pulled over by a motorcycle cop
and I think I
tried to sound extra British,
like I didn't know whether it was a crime.
Oh, right-o.
I wish I'd have had a top hat and monocle in my car.
I got away with it.
So you didn't get out of it?
You did get out of it.
I got a caution, yeah.
Really?
I said, I'm from England.
I don't understand.
We don't have iPhones in old England.
What's your first name?
Sean?
Interesting coincidence.
I directed a movie.
You got pulled over once when you were talking to me on the phone.
Oh, yeah, right.
I did.
Right at Hollywood and Highland.
Yeah.
Which was awkward.
Which you're on the phone because it takes forever to get through that intersection.
With all the tourists wandering back and forth across the street.
Eventually you're going to have to make a call.
I got pulled over right there.
And there were some people pointing at me through my windshield.
And a guy walked over and took a picture of me standing right by my window.
I listened to the whole thing go down.
Yeah.
And then a cop came over
and said
you can't talk on your phone. Yeah, and I said I'm Canadian
and he didn't care.
It didn't work.
So you got an actual
ticket? I got a ticket, yeah. How much did that
cost? I think it was like $70 or something.
Oh, shit.
How did you get through it
but that's that's a that's a you know it's here's what i get all that hear about all the time is uh
you know they're also pulling people over not wearing seat belts and i was with a cab driver
lady once who had her seat belt tied down, taped down next to her,
because what they look for is the glint of the buckle up by your head.
That's how you know you're not wearing your seatbelt.
So this cab driver lady figured that out
and just nailed down her seatbelt buckle
because she was so against wearing a seatbelt.
I don't know why.
I mean, as laws go, that one seems to be trying to help the driver.
But so is the cell phone thing.
It is kind of wild that we're
talking on cell phones as much as we are.
I think that sounds kind of beautiful. Cops just looking for the
glint of a buckle.
It is like poetry.
The life of a
police officer in L.A.
It's a sad thing.
But with the phones, they just look for you
holding a phone
to the side of your head.
Yeah.
And that just gives it away.
But I think,
I think there should be
an intersection rule
because I do think
you probably were on the phone
because you were at
a long-ass intersection.
So you're like,
well, I'm not moving.
How could I hurt anybody
with my foot on the brake?
Yeah, and that's how
he spotted me, too,
because I was just sitting there
and he was right behind me
and I was talking on the phone.
Entrapment,
I say.
They totally know you're going to talk on the
phone if you're just sitting there.
What else are you supposed to do?
Now,
first of all,
Edgar and Michael,
Aubrey, sit this one out.
How crazy was that screening last night?
I went to a screening at the Egyptian of Scott Pilgrim where there was a Q&A conducted by Guillermo del Toro.
Guillermo.
Guillermo.
Guillermo Del Toro
conducted the Q&A
and you guys participated in it.
And I think he set the bar for F-bombs
in a Q&A
after a PG-13 movie.
I know. He has the best
accented swearing of any person I've ever
met. Can I use a direct quote from him?
Yes. Anyone who doesn't see Sarah Pilgrim
is a motherfucker.
Did you say Sarah Pilgrim?
I said Sarah Pilgrim because there's just an S here on my piece of paper.
And
for some reason I was like,
you know what?
This gender bias in the Scott Pilgrim title
has really been bothering me.
It should be Sarah Pilgrim
or S Pilgrim.
That might have just been
Guillermo's accent.
That might have been
the way you heard it.
But he called everyone
who hasn't seen it
a motherfucker.
And if those people
hadn't just seen the movie,
they would be scared.
But we had all just seen it,
so it wasn't,
we felt pretty good
about ourselves.
But it was intense.
It was good. Yeah, that was amazing.
Guillermo is an amazing person.
It was just, yeah, I could sit and listen to him swear all day.
I think the Q&A went on even longer than the movie, almost.
Oh, my God.
The screening started at 7.30 and seemed to start pretty much on time.
And when I looked at my phone when I got out of the Q&A,
it was 11.30.
And I know we didn't see a longer than
hour and 45 minute cut of the movie.
So that was a long
Q&A. But it was fascinating.
He sounds like, if you close your eyes, he sounds
like Liam Neeson in Taken.
When people were
asked questions of you,
I kept waiting for him to jump in and go
I need you to get under the bed
I have a particular set of skills
one of them is swearing
he just has an amazing set of pipes
at Guillermo
and
it was fun to see him talk to you
about the movie and how much he loved it
so for the DVD
renters and purchasers coming up on Tuesday,
what were his tips that he gave, the things you should look for
while watching the movie to make it more fun?
There's lots of numbers and X's.
It's a bit like Sesame Street in some respects.
If you could really, by the time you're done watching it,
you know how to read and write.
Yeah.
That's why we got Guillermo
to do the Q&A.
Tickle me, Guillermo.
You put an extra syllable in there.
You're like,
Gay-elmo.
Gay-elmo.
Gay-elmo.
All right.
So that was fun last night, and I'm looking forward to...
I hope you guys can be there.
We're going to show Scott Pilgrim at midnight twice at the New Beverly here in Los Angeles.
And you want to play the Leonard Maltin game with people from the audience.
I think that would be good.
I think you'd get some...
Edgar wants to take on... He wants Edgar Wright versus the audience. I think that would be good. Edgar wants to take on.
He wants Edgar Wright versus the world.
He heard the disastrous T.J. Miller versus the world episode of my show
and he was like, I could do that.
That sounds like fun for me.
So that'll be awesome.
Okay, so let me go down the line here and ask everybody some questions.
Michael, I know everyone that listens to this is dying to know about the Arrested Development movie and all that,
but I know you're sick of talking about it or being asked about it.
So let me just ask you this instead.
What's going on with year two?
You don't have to say anything.
That's a total dick question.
I don't have to say anything?
No, you don't have to.
I'll take that route.
It doesn't need a response.
Everyone involved in that movie is awesome
and I don't know what happened.
Right?
I feel the same. Everybody everybody's great everybody's fantastic it'll be revealed in the
sequel what happened to the first okay that'd be funny if the sequel's only ha ha we got you
with year one this is the real shit this is what we really wanted to do but uh aubrey could you
swear for us so that we can actually hear you saying swear
words instead of uh the crazy bleeps that edgar put on your mouth every time you swore um in scott
pilgrim sure uh or sarah pilgrim fucking fuck fuck fuck okay so now what was that noise that
you put over her mouth was that like a computer starting up or something?
It was an old
loading signal.
Commodore 64.
I'm going to try to get that noise
and then put it over what she just said in the podcast.
That'll be hilarious.
I said, we want to hear you swear and then the same thing will happen.
It's totally been stitched up.
Yeah, I should have said something before fuck
because it'll just be that noise
which was kind of
almost you did say fuck
a lot in the movie or other words
that we didn't hear
why was your
character in your head
what was the back story that you
why were you so mad at Scott Pilgrim
because it was never really clear
other than you just know his pattern of behavior.
I mean, well, we got...
I mean, I guess I'm allowed to say this now
because the movie's out on DVD soon.
But we got these secret fact sheets
from you and Edgar and Brian Lee O'Malley
before we started shooting
that had secret things about our characters
that we were supposed to keep to ourselves.
And one of them informed my performance, I think.
Can she say what it was, Edgar?
Do you know what I'm going to say?
You can say it.
Yeah, go for it.
Well, one of them was that
Julie Powers maybe had a huge crush
on Scott Pilgrim in college,
but he never liked her.
It's the most plausible option.
It's the one that I would guess
if I were guessing
why you were so mad at him.
It would be that you were into him
and then you watched him
fuck over a million girls
and you were like,
why can't he fuck over me?
Yeah.
There you go.
Yeah.
Hatred.
Over me?
Comes from love.
Now.
Are you going to bleep out your F-bombs?
No, I'm not going to do any of that.
We just put this out there.
We don't edit or change anything.
Except for, I mentioned it earlier,
Elizabeth Shue said some things about the making of
Hollow Man that she regretted immediately
afterwards but then you told them all
the next week
I've been telling them every week ever since
but I promised her
immediately after the show oh we'll bleep out
whatever you want and she said we'll bleep out
that one thing which essentially
just that she just said why would I
why would I show my tits in a shitty
Paul Verhoeven movie?
That's all she really was trying to say.
But, you know, it got messed up.
Paul Verhoeven ranks lower than a chimp then, in which case.
Is that right?
No, no, no, no, no.
And that's the thing is we solved both of these things in Link.
By watching Link together, she was shocked to discover
she does show
Kopi as side boob, and that I
was right in saying that there was side boob
in Link. She was like, no, no, no, that's a body double.
It's like, no, the side boob was all her.
But then there's a body double.
It's the most brazen body double ever.
There's a girl standing there
head to toe. You could see part of her ass,
both of her boobs, and she's got
Elizabeth Shue's haircut. And that's, and she's got Elizabeth Shue's haircut.
And that's it. She's not Elizabeth Shue.
But they just show her head to toe.
And when I
saw the movie the first time, I didn't
question it. I was too busy looking
at her boobs and her ass
to detect whether or not that was her face.
And the second time,
you're like, there's no way that's the small of
Elizabeth Shue's back
but you think that she was brazen
like she was like I don't give a fuck
like I'm gonna show my face
like that was her
that's her double
that's also the
that's the kind of the double
kind of understands
that you're not gonna show her face
like all of her friends must be like,
oh, look at you standing there naked next to a chimp.
But isn't the plot of that film
where there's a super intelligent ape
can tell the difference between Elizabeth Shue
and a body double?
That's actually...
That is the storyline.
That's why it's a long sit for an hour and 45 minutes
because that premise is stretched
pretty thin it's it's amazing anybody listening that hasn't seen link you you might want to watch
it with friends because it's super boring it's really it's a really long sit but there's some
amazing shit happens in it at one point an orangutan dressed up as a as a regular monkey
because they put they put different ears.
They attach,
they do makeup effects
on an orangutan
to make it look like
just a monkey.
And,
but that monkey
picks up a Doberman Pinscher
and slams it against
a fence post
until it's dead.
And that's just one
of the many delightful things
that happen in an
excruciatingly boring movie.
I've seen that.
And that's the funny thing. When I
told you I was screening it, you were like, oh, I saw that a couple
weeks ago. On my own.
Which was not the way
to watch that. I actually couldn't bring my...
Edgar will watch anything. I will watch anything.
I have a high patience.
I watched it. And you told me you don't
ever walk out on or turn
off anything. You watch everything from beginning to end.
Yeah, I'm quite OCD like that.
Maybe I've fallen asleep on a plane during something.
Yeah, okay.
I'll give you that.
Everybody's done that.
Of course.
But you have a rule even not to sleep through a flight, right?
Yeah.
Drink a lot of coffee before every flight.
Yeah.
If I've started a rom-com on American Airlines,
I have to finish it.
It's always rom-coms and children's things now.
Like this next month, I already looked ahead.
They got Despicable Me.
They got Ramona and Beezus.
It's all just stuff that I'm like,
well, I'll be passing on that theatrically,
so I guess I'll enjoy it on a plane.
I went to see Jackass 3D this week at the Arclight
with a couple of friends,
and as we were walking down to the screen,
we hadn't got our glasses,
and I said, oh, nobody gave us the glasses.
Oh, they must be inside the screen,
thinking there'd be an usher inside.
So we went in, and nobody with glasses,
nobody in the audience
with glasses on
and like 2D trailers playing
and I said,
oh,
is there a flat version
of Jackass 3D?
So we went back out
and I asked the guy
and I said,
yeah,
that's the 2D version.
And I said,
but my ticket says
Jackass 3D guys.
Well,
that's just the title
of the film.
What a burn!
That's amazing
it's called
Jackass 3D
but
don't let that
title mislead you
sometimes
don't let the
title Piranha 3D
mislead you
don't assume
anything based on that
I mean
did you watch the movie
because they aren't
they're not even
that jackass
they're very polite
so nothing about
the title is true
none of the title
rings true.
It's just a bunch
of guys drinking tea.
It's really weird.
It's in 2D
and they're very polite.
Yeah.
That is so weird.
I know that's true
of all 3D movies.
They have the screens
that it's not 3D
but when it's in the title
like that
they should commit.
What a rip.
I went and changed
my tickets.
I put on my top
pattern monocle I went
straight to I went
straight to guest
services because you
have to see an outrage
so you saw a later
screening yeah and and
and I I do like those
films I do like the
films I could I could
stand not to see some
of the scale I wish it
was all I wish it was
all stunts not
embarrassing anyone by
dressing up
as a weird person
and acting weird in public
yeah
and no sweatsuit
that somebody drinks the sweat
no poo volcano
no poo volcano
yeah
like if they just see it
drives some people
right out of my podcast even
just the discussion of it
I think she was about
to have a poo volcano
she's gone she didn't hear that Just the discussion of it. I think she was about to have a poo volcano.
She's gone.
She didn't hear that.
She'll hear it on the podcast.
With your accent, there's no way she'll be offended by that.
You made... I didn't get away with swearing.
You made...
I could have sworn at that policeman today.
You made just a volcanic amount of shit sound very polite and dignified.
Yeah, that was awesome.
What about, let me ask you this.
Your first two movies, you know, pretty violent.
Definitely ours, both of them, right?
Yeah. Yeah, and then of them, right? Yeah.
And then you make a movie about fighting and then you go
PG-13 on our asses.
Did you ever think about making Scott
Pilgrim super violent?
Did you know you were opening against the
Expendables?
Did you know that younger guys making
people's heads explode might have beat them?
I know. Well, we... You know, the books are not kind of R-rated.
The books are like T for teen as they're rated.
So it would have been, I don't think we'd have been allowed to shoot it as an R.
I don't think it would have been right.
There's not any blood in the comics.
You have a surprise waiting for you on the podcast.
I do apologize.
I apologize.
Volcano shit came back.
I'm sorry.
Edgar apologized to her.
I'm sorry.
Do you have a name tag?
No, she doesn't have a name tag.
I would have played for her.
When we get to the letter mong game tonight,
I said on Twitter today, I'm very serious about this,
that people have a better chance of playing
if they're wearing an I voted sticker. I'm very serious about this, that people have a better chance of playing if they're wearing an I Voted sticker.
Because I'm very into people voting.
So that guy right there, you're out.
Because you only have your name on your chest.
So narcissistic.
Couldn't help the country.
Too busy making your own name tag.
There is a thing on the DVD, on the Blu-ray.
Even though Scott Pilgrim is a PG-13,
you are contractually obliged to provide a TV safe version.
Now, even though it's a PG-13,
for like American Airlines or some network TV,
and I don't know if these versions even get shown,
but you have to replace absolutely everything.
Not just shit and fuck, but like hell and God.
And when we do tv safe versions i
have a rule with the actors is that we only do one take of the replacement word and we think of
the weirdest word possible and so on on the blu-ray we decided this time to in the past on
children of the dead and hot fuzz we replaced fuck with funk and prick
with prink
and like
cunt was
clump
in
like
in tribute
to
Your stupid clump
is pretty insulting.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Have you seen
Professor Tooth
and Clumps?
It's an insult.
No, no.
But in that movie
a giant hamster
ass fucks
Larry Miller.
The rules are crazy for what you can get away with and what you can't.
That was the title of the film entirely.
It literally gets behind him and he goes, oh!
Like it has entered him, for sure, in the movie's PG-13.
But we changed, one of the ones that we were watching some of it yesterday.
The only kind of word that crops up a lot is ass in Scott Pilgrim.
And we changed every utterance of ass to owl or owls.
And it starts to sound really weird.
And I'm really looking forward to it ever being shown on American Airlines.
Kiss my owls?
Did you get a lot of owl last night? like a carry's on an owl hunt what other ones
are there like sort of bad out these guys are totally bad else you also say
you kicked my owl in the heart yeah Yeah. My heart in the owl.
There's also a great exchange between Michael and Mary of, what is it?
Have you ever dated somebody that wasn't a total owl?
And she says, well, you're not a total owl, I guess, but I'm part owl.
Yeah.
What does that even mean?
Are you dating nocturnal people whose heads spin all the way around?
That's awesome.
And with the Owls of Ga'ul,
let's go in and edit that movie so they always say ass instead of owl.
Because you know they say owl a bunch of times in that movie.
I thought Legends of the Guardians, the Owls of Galhoul
in 3D
would be the worst title to get in Running Charades.
It's way too fucking long.
You'd have to just point to someone who's an ass
and then
they would guess it because how many movies
have owl in the title?
I think some long titles
I think people have never said the full title
when buying a ticket.
I try to.
Really?
If I saw Legend of the Guardians,
Owls of Ga'ul,
I would say the whole thing.
In 3D.
In real 3D.
In 3D.
And I would wildly mispronounce Ga'ul
when I was saying it.
I love that.
I love saying the titles as wrong as possible
and as long as possible can i have one add out for x-men origins wolverine please
nobody's ever nobody's ever called it x-men origins wolverine one for wall street two money never It's fun.
It's really fun.
And because box office people,
they kind of know what the titles are.
You know what I mean?
So if you get it slightly wrong,
they just ring it up and pass it through.
So you can say funny things to them.
Or like waitresses, too.
I always ask for mongoloid beef instead of Mongolian.
Because they won't correct you.
They're just like, all right.
Brad doesn't know how to say Mongolian.
He's trying to amuse his friends.
It's fun.
Listen, let me ask a few more questions really quickly.
No time for the answers, just the questions.
Rumor has it you taught Quentin Tarantino
how to play the Leonard Maltin game.
I did.
Okay, no time for that story.
And...
He told me that in a text,
and I've never shitted myself after reading a text,
but I might have on that occasion
because the idea of you and Quentin
sitting around playing my dumb game
with a well-thumbed Leonard Moulton
guide. Yeah, your Leonard Moulton
guide. Or does he own one?
He had one too. That's what brought
it up. It was sitting on his table and I said,
have you played the Leonard Moulton game?
There you go. Well, before we play
the Leonard Moulton game, three more quick things.
When does Parks and Rec
come back, Aubrey?
I don't
know. We'll look forward to that.
I think it's January.
I'm weekly annoyed by the success of Outsourced
because it's about something that shouldn't be
happening. Outsourcing.
And
I can't find humor
in that. And also it's keeping you guys
from being back on the schedule.
I mean, we're like shooting right now
as if
like
we're coming back any minute now.
Yeah, because it could just
happen on a whim.
Yeah, but for real
I think in January
that's what we hear
but honestly it's like
changes every day.
Joel McHale might flip out
and go on a serial killing spree.
Yeah.
Then you're back in.
Yeah. Something as simple as killing spree. Yeah. Then you're back in. Yeah.
Something as simple as that could happen. Yeah.
And what else do you
guys have coming? What's next
for Edgar Wright?
Do you have another project in the works or are you
ruminating? I'm ruminating
yeah. I have a couple of things I need to get
writing on and
so I just need to get back to the kind of
With partners? with other people
like you you wrote scott pilgrim with another dude right yeah there's yeah a couple of people
that i work with them like i mean me and simon pegg and more stuff with simon yeah i mean he's
kind of busy doing uh uh he's got mission impossible 4 and star trek 2 and he's playing
the both part in the same part in both yeah Yeah. Scotty is now on the MIA.
Don't get me started about the Mission Impossible movies.
If you could put a latex mask on
that makes you look like a completely different person,
why would you ever look like Ethan Hunt?
Even for a minute.
Like, why would a super spy
ever not look like somebody else
if they could do that?
Don't answer.
It's a rhetorical question.
Quickly, Michael, I made a movie
called Super High Me. Everybody gave me weed.
You made a movie called Juno.
Did people give you babies?
You thought I was going to say Tic Tacs.
No, people asked
me for a baby.
Do you like orange Tic Tacs?
Because that was a gift for a while, right? And might Tic Tacs? Because that was
a gift for a while, right? And might still be
now that I brought it up.
It was a gift for a while?
People gave them to you?
No, nobody ever gave them to us.
No one ever did?
No.
I love that.
Your friends know you.
Nobody's ever given me anything in a respectful way like that.
Nobody's ever... You've got no thoughtful gifts
No one's ever seen your work
And then applied a gift to it
No
People have given me
The DVD of year one
And said take this
And I go and sign it
And then when I look up
They're like
That is awesome.
Sign this. Yours.
No take-backs.
I have a huge stack of year one signed by me at home.
They want you to personally take it back to Blockbuster.
Right.
To your penance.
Blockbuster doesn't even exist anymore.
I've racked up a lot of late fees here.
It sort of does still
I thought they were gone
It's hanging in I think
But not totally
I don't know
Let's talk about that for a while
We'll run outside and check
It's somewhat movie related
But for Aubrey and Michael
Do you have anything in the can as they say
Like any movies that are
Done and coming out later I'd imagine you do Michael, do you have anything in the can, as they say, like any movies that are done
and coming out later?
I'd imagine you do.
I've done a couple really small
roles in some things
lately. I just did
a small thing where I played a suicidal
tap dancer.
Is there any other kind,
first of all?
And secondly, what's the movie called?
Death Tap.
Yeah.
Death Tap.
So it's really not that small of a part,
or the killer isn't revealed until the very end.
It's called Tap Me Out.
I haven't...
It's called Tap Me Out.
I haven't... What's it called?
I haven't given it a title yet.
Oh, okay.
It's a made-up movie.
I made it myself,
and that is how I spent Halloween.
It's actually just home videos.
So fuck all of you.
Michael, what do you got coming out?
This comes out Friday, I believe.
This does.
That'll be good.
I think people are excited about that.
We are, for sure.
I mean, listen to them.
This is one of my best episodes.
The Scott Pilgrim DVD comes out November 9th.
That's right.
I believe it's loaded with special features
Special, they are special features
I saw the thing last night
You showed one of the special features
Which is just footage of all the actors
On the stage
Where the effect shots were done
And they're all jumping through the air
It's very
Athletic You do some amazing It's poetic too jumping through the air and it's very athletic.
You do some amazing It's poetic too.
Poetic too.
It's athletic and poetic
watching people
jump through the air
and then
In super slow motion.
pretend to punch something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, it's
So there's lots of extras.
There's
I think there's something
like 17 hours of extras.
It's crazy.
All in slow motion though
so it's like five hours for the rest. That'd be it. It's crazy. All in slow motion though so it's like five hours.
Slow motion commentary.
I'm going to try to watch
all the extras.
I'll get back to you.
Okay.
After I get through them all.
And what's the best extra?
Outtake reel is fun?
It's our TV safe edit
of Legend of the Guardian
of the Alza Calhoun.
Where we change every time they say Al, we change it to Ass.
That would be so much fun to watch.
Wait, did the DVD not come out yet?
It comes out on Tuesday.
Oh.
Have you been talking it up like it's out?
No, but did it come out anywhere?
Has it come out anywhere?
I don't know.
People have review copies and stuff.
What are you getting at?
I don't know.
Because on Twitter, someone quoted me in the DVD commentary.
They quoted me, and I was like, oh, I guess it's...
They might have got a preview copy or something.
Oh, okay. So you're on the commentary?
Yeah, but the only thing
I've heard about it is someone quoted me
and I apparently said, oh my god,
I'm still drunk.
So it was like
you guys did the commentary the day after
some sort of rampart? I don't know.
I don't remember.
I don't know where I am. So. I don't know where I am.
So you might have been joking
about being drunk.
Sounds like it was a Wednesday.
That's a fun thing.
That's a fun thing to say
during a commentary.
I'm drunk.
Then you absolve yourself
of everything.
Because I love how
every DVD,
when you start it,
the commentaries
are not the opinion
of any person
that has anything to do
with ever making this. Well, yeah,
except for the people that made the movie.
They really try to distance themselves
from that. Because every commentary
is probably like, well, the studio
wanted this. It's always a lot of
talking about what they
thought you on. Yeah, they still,
not so much recently, but they still, even though they have
that disclaimer, they still try to get you to cut stuff out.
Like we, um, I got into a big fight
on the Shaun of the Dead
DVD because
legal gets so
kind of hot on things
and I had this
trivia track
all the way through the film
and the final trivia
fact was
fact
this film is based
on a true story
and they said
you can't put that on
somebody will sue you
I said
well I'd love to see that court case.
Zombies are sensitive.
They will sue you if you imply that they got hit upside the head
and incapacitated for a moment.
They're prideful.
They want to win the fight.
Well, I saw it on, I saw Shaun of the dead on comedy central the other day and
aside from the commercial intrusions i i wasn't that but like they leave in because you're killing
zombies it can be super violent weirdly i'd never seen on comedy central and a lot of stuff is i
the hot fuzz and comedy sent uh hot fuzz and sean of the dead were on back to back and i noticed
how kind of butchered they were but the weirdest one was that nick frost at one point gives simon the finger and they digitally removed his finger
so it looks like he just shows him his fist it very it was very strange there you go i had to
rewind it so you can show somebody smacking a zombie upside the head but not the finger
yeah amazing yeah and in hot Fuzz, you could show,
spoiler alert.
Timothy Dalton falling on a spike.
Yeah, Timothy Dalton getting a spike through his,
but he seems okay and alive,
so I guess it's all right,
even though it's crazy violent.
Anyway, let's play the Litter-Mong game.
I'm sorry I delayed it so long
we're running
out of time
but let's let
the panelists
pick I'd like you to pick
from over here if possible
and especially if someone's got a
sticker a name tag
and an I voted sticker
those are the people I'd like you to pick although
that Jordan
Indiana Jones style is pretty cool.
So Edgar, who would you
like to play for
in the letterbox game?
Let's go for Jordan here.
Kyle's got some long story.
I know.
Alright, but Jordan
did Indiana Jones lettering
so that's pretty cool.
So that's who Edgar's going to play for.
Who would you like to play for, Aubrey?
Oh, I'll play for that girl whose thing I can't read.
Erica.
Erica.
All right, you're playing for Erica.
Don't forget to talk into the microphone, though.
I'll play for Erica.
Nice.
Who's the saddest person here?
I believe you. I'll play for Erica. Who's the saddest person here? I believe you.
I believe you.
Okay, you.
What's your name?
My name is Clancy Hands.
Clancy Hands?
Is it too late to re-pick?
No, it isn't.
It's totally not too late.
I think I'm committed to you.
All right, Clancy Hands.
Oh, my God. I went I'm committed to you. Alright, Clancy Hands. Oh my god.
I went out on a date with him the other night.
He was so Clancy Hands.
It says Clancy Hands
VOTD, Video of the Day.
What does that mean?
Oh, I see.
Oh, classy.
Nothing classy about that spelling.
Alright, Clancy Hands. You're missing one letter from voted. Edgar's playing for Jordan. Nothing classy about that spelling Alright classy hands
You're missing one letter from voted
So Edgar's playing for Jordan
Aubrey's playing for
Erica
And
Michael's playing for classy hands
Whatever that means
We're team classy
So I hope you guys understand
How the game's played
It's very complicated.
We'll start with Edgar to pick a category. I think he's going to be excited about some
of these categories. We got Zerner Law on Twitter, my good friend Larry Zerner. He suggested
the category Songs in Titles. so it's movies where the title
is also the title of the song and then for another category uh it's david schwimmer's birthday today
and and uh burt lancaster who starred in The Swimmer.
And so... So the category is movies featuring David Schwimmer or Burt Lancaster,
because as far as I know, there's none that include both.
Nice.
And then also celebrating a birthday on the day this podcast will plop,
on 11-5, is Sam Rockwell, the great Sam Rockwell.
So Sam Rockwell movies is your third choice.
I think he'd be good at all these categories.
Let's go for...
I don't know, I'm intrigued by the middle one
because it's so kind of spurious, like David Schwimmer
and Burt Lancaster.
The dream team.
Yeah.
Schwimmer, of course, who directed Simon Pegg in Run, Fatboy Run.
I'd like to tie it all together.
Let's go for...
Let's go for Sam Rockwell.
Okay.
You were intrigued by one and then went with the other.
I like that.
Keep me on my guard.
All right, so Sam Rockwell movies.
This is from, you get one from 1999, 2007, or 2009?
Was it 2000, what was the first one?
99?
2009?
2007 or 2009?
Let's go for 2007.
Okay.
Leonard Mullen gives this movie two and a half stars.
I can't agree or disagree
because it's one that I just never managed to see.
What he says about it is that
it features a strange relationship
and that it's crippled by over length.
As I often say,
the clues hurt more than help.
And there are
14 names.
How many names do you think
you can name this movie in
that features Sam Rockwell in some
sort of role
I think I know what it
Edgar Wright thinks he knows what it is
I think I know what it is but I don't think I've seen it either
oh you might not have seen it either
maybe
you say either I say either
let's call the whole thing off
or the other way around.
How many names? 14?
Yeah, I think so.
I'll go for eight names.
Okay.
So we go down to Michael.
You can bid less names or you can say name that movie.
Yeah.
Well, I'll say five.
Is that right?
Five.
That's a fantastic bid.
So, Aubrey, you can say less names
or you can tell Michael to name that movie.
If he fails to name it,
then you'll get the point.
I can tell him to name it?
Yeah, yeah.
But I get some names, right?
Yeah, you will.
Okay, well...
You don't get the names
until you're on the chopping block.
Michael, name that movie.
All right.
Would you like the clues again?
It's crippled by over the length.
It's two and a half stars from Leonard.
It's a strange relationship.
And he says it's got a strange relationship, yeah.
And the names are Tom Aldridge, the great Tom Aldridge.
Classy.
James Carville. James. James Carville.
James?
James Carville.
I don't know if that's that James Carville.
Does it say the?
Is there a the in front of his name?
There's no the.
It's just James Carville.
Then Allison Elliott.
The aforementioned Sam Rockwell.
So he's got pretty low billing in this situation.
That's a clue.
And then the fifth name that you get is Ted Levine,
who of course we all know from...
Put the lotion in the basket.
And Monk, he's also on Monk.
It's not what I thought it was.
I don't know what I got us into.
Yeah, so what do you think
with those five names?
You got any idea at all?
Sam Rockwell's in it, of course.
I don't remember anything about 2007.
Geez, what do I do?
So no guess at all?
What do I do?
You could just guess a movie
from around that time
if you think you might get lucky.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Which he is in.
Which one?
The first one, the original.
No.
I think I'm wrong.
No, that's not it.
All right, does anybody else think they know?
Audience?
I'll tell you some more names.
Michael Parks,
Zooey Deschanel,
Garrett Dillahunt,
Jeremy Renner, Paul Schneider. Oh my God. Are you serious? Mary Louise Parker. Are you serious? names michael parks zoe de chanel garrett dillahunt jeremy runner paul schneider oh my god
are you sorry louise parker are you serious yeah do you know it now yeah i know it now what is it
oh the assassination of jesse jennings that was gonna i should that's correct by the coward
robert ford you ever seen that another bad running charades one yes yes way too long a title i have
seen that one oh you have? I have seen that one.
Yeah, I've never seen that.
The one that I thought it was
was Matchstick Men,
but it wasn't.
Oh, you didn't see Matchstick Men?
No, I didn't.
I will...
I say Matchstick Men
is better than this one,
but, you know,
we'll figure that out someday.
Jason Carville was in
The Assassination...
Is that his name,
Jason Carville?
James Carville.
All right, James Carville
was in The Assassination?
Well, there might be an actor
named James Carville.
All right. It wasn't the same. Rather, there might be an actor named James Carville. All right.
It wasn't the same.
It was him?
The wrong one.
He plays like a governor.
He plays like a governor.
Because he's got that accent.
He's like, oh, I'm the governor or whatever.
So it is the original.
So it is the James Carville.
So that's a great clue if you'd seen the movie.
I have never seen it.
The real title of the film was
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Cowards.
Robert Ford.
Is it Robert Ford?
Mm-hmm.
Featuring James Carville playing himself.
Playing a character based on himself.
All right.
So that means Aubrey's got a point.
Thank you.
Well done.
Alright, and
since Edgar wasn't involved in that
skirmish, we'll start with you.
Would you like In Theaters Now?
Or, it's the 25th
anniversary of Back to the Future, so
actors who are in Back to the Future movies?
Or, the
aforementioned single
artist soundtracks let's
go for the back to the
did I mention that
before no this is a
category it's it's where
the soundtrack is by the
entire soundtrack is by
one artist or most of it
and this was submitted by
Jolene Bollinger on
Twitter I know you like
movie music and movies
let's go for that one
then let's try that.
So this is one recording artist recorded most or all of the soundtrack.
You've got 72, 85, or 99.
85.
Okay.
Are you zeroing in already?
Is your genius movie mind already getting it?
Leonard gives it one and a half stars.
Nuh-uh.
No, Leonard.
I will not let that stand.
Three, three and a half at the least.
Love this movie.
He calls it gritty.
Maybe he doesn't like gritty.
He also says that...
He also says that part of this movie is not enough.
He praises one part,
but he says that's not enough
to counteract the bad taste the film leaves behind.
From 1985.
And there are
nine names.
I am going to go for negative one.
Yeah!
Ever since I met Edgar,
he was like, I'm going to be great at the Leonard Maltz game.
And I was like,
we shall see about that.
So that means, for you guys,
because now it goes down to
Michael. How can we outbid that?
You can go negative two names or negative four names.
Say the answer five minutes ago.
But that's the thing.
You've got to name the movie and also name
those negative names from the top of the billing
down in
proper order. So if you go
two names, you have to name the first billed person
and the second billed person.
So it sounds to me like you should just give up
and let Edgar not only impress
everybody, but get a seat in the
tournament of championships.
Because that's what we do for people that go
less than zero and succeed.
You're so confident.
I know what it is.
That sort of sums up...
I just realized I just said sort of sums up I just realized
I just said something
that sums up Robert Downey Jr.
He went less than zero
and still succeeded
If I guess
If I guess wrongly
do I
am I like
Wrongly?
Yeah am I penalized
if I outbid him
and guess wrongly?
No
Aubrey will end up
winning the point
in the whole game probably
so I'm excited about that because we're running over Okay No. Aubrey will end up winning the point in the whole game, probably.
So I'm excited about that, because we're running over.
Okay.
And it is exciting to me, the idea of Edgar not winning.
Because he came in so cocky.
He came in all Han Solo.
And I'm like Luke, saying... Or no, the other way around.
If I say nothing again, do I get a point?
I think you might
I think you might win this whole thing
Do you want to go more negative names?
I'll go negative two just to make it interesting
I love it
I love how interesting this is
Alright, so now Aubrey has no choice
but to say name that movie, I think
Name that movie
Alright, so Michael
What's the movie called, first of all?
The Labyrinth?
No.
Okay.
And then...
Do I still have to name the names?
No, you don't.
You show off, though, and tell us what it was.
I think it's To Live and Die in L.A.
Uh-huh.
And William Peterson.
And Wang Chung doing the soundtrack.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
and Die in L.A.
Uh-huh.
And William Peterson and Wang Chung
doing the soundtrack.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See, that's how
fucked up this game is.
It's that you got
a spoiler like that
on the other end
and you get screwed.
That's hilarious.
Nicely done.
Aubrey Plaza
is our winner, everybody.
Thanks.
And of course, Willem Dafoe is second build.
Yeah, yeah.
And today I was, long story for you guys,
but for everyone else who might get it,
today I was in a coffee shop in Burbank,
Starbucks, I don't know why I called it a coffee shop.
And some guy, as he was leaving,
right as he was walking out the door,
Willem Dafoe's a shithead.
He yelled it to the whole place
as he left.
I was like, wow, that makes me feel good and terrible
at the same time.
That guy would yell that out.
Was Willem Dafoe inside?
No, he wasn't there.
He was just trying to amuse me because I used to say that at the end
of every show. Because Willem Dafoe's
clearly not a show. I thought maybe he was working there.
No, he's not a show.
Alright, so you were playing for Erica?
Yeah. Yeah, where's Erica?
There she is. Alright, Erica, you win.
This is exciting.
Edgar brought some stuff. What did you bring?
Okay, he's got a
Scott Pilgrim poster for you.
And what else is in there?
T-shirts.
T-shirts.
Clothing.
And clothing.
He's got all sorts of Scott Pilgrim stuff.
I've got a copy of, if you mail this in,
you'll get a copy of the Scott Pilgrim DVD for free.
It'll only cost you a stamp.
Relax.
I would have put a stamp on it if I had thought about it.
I'll give you a quarter and this thing
and then
that's all the stuff Erica wins
congratulations Erica
thank you to my guests
where is she
pass that back to Erica
I can't make it that far
Edgar's going to go get the stuff right now
he's a proactive
kind of guy. I've also brought
an Expendables gift basket.
It's a bunch of rotten fruit.
What am I going to do?
That was a horrible
Bruce Willis impression.
Oh, there he is.
There's Edgar with the bag.
And I gotta... Just you guys talk
amongst yourselves for a second.
I gotta find something now.
I saw Willem Dafoe
in the airport the other day.
Tell us about it.
He was getting his bags
and he had a large bag
and he was with an
Asian girl.
Did you talk to him? No.
How have you been?
Good.
I recently did an interview and
somebody told me a quote that I had said in the past.
This is going back to David Schwimmer.
Apparently, I don't remember saying this,
but he threw it in my face.
Apparently, I have in the past
referred to my torso as personalityless,
much like Ross on Friends.
I've likened my torso
to David Schwimmer.
And he got in your face about it?
Well, he...
He had some fun with it. He wasn't offended, though. No, it would be weird if the interviewer was offended by that, I guess. And he got in your face about it? Well, he, you know, told me I said that.
He wasn't offended, though.
No, no.
It'd be weird if the interviewer was offended by that, I guess.
That would be weird.
I was being interviewed by Matthew Perry, but...
All right, let's have a big round of applause for everybody involved.
Michael Cera, Aubrey Plaza,
Edgar Wright.
Truly an honor to have
you all on and good luck with
DVD sales on Tuesday.
Not unlike everything that's awesome.
Maybe that'll spark some
movement for Scott Pilgrim 2.
Scott Pilgrim 2
the clumps.
Hilarious out of the gate that would be amazing
or it's uncensored title Scott Pilgrim 2 The Cunts
we're totally going to put Aubrey's noise over that
featuring the asses of Galhoo
whatever that noise is
alright and as usual Justin Nauman is a shithead Now who? Whatever that noise is. All right.
And as usual,
Justin Nauman
is a shithead.
And Jeff Woodruff
is also a shithead.
Now it's time
for the two of us
to go to another party.
Isaac called the view
and promised
makes it party.
There's no room
in his heart for you
because Doug loves movies
