Doug hates candy, ramblings, green and gray,
He's sick, he's sick, with nippy eyes and hot water,
He'll do his deed, there's still not more that he won't see,
The God of Movies!
Hey, hey, hey everybody!
My name is Doug, and I love movies.
This is Doug Loves Movies!
All right.
I don't know why there's not going to be another season of American Idol,
because there's clearly a lot of great singers in this town.
We're coming to you once again from the Nerd Melt showroom at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood.
It's 420-ish on Sunday, June 28, 2015.
Let me see your name tags, Los Angeles.
I think there's some good ones.
There's a cute little gingerbread man right up front.
Is he from Shrek?
Yeah.
And he's got a little necklace on with your name on it? What's your name?
Tiffany. Okay.
Bag of Oreos with your
post-it note on the top?
That's good if any of the guests are
really in a snacking mood.
Evasion of the Scotty Snatchers.
No need to explain any of that.
I like the little glowing light you have on there.
Mad Zach.
Hold on, hold on.
Hold on what?
Oh, wait, never mind.
Yeah, it's not working.
All right.
You're not going to try to interact constantly, are you?
Because you've spoken to me a couple times already,
and that gets to be a real problem when you're in the front row.
Jurassic World.
Couple bags of M&Ms.
Racking me.
All right, you guys. Good job.
Thanks for bringing those.
And you know when to bring them back out.
You know what to do.
What's up?
You guys having a convo?
You good?
You're fucking sitting right this close to me
and they're discussing the M&Ms or some shit.
Let's go ahead and eat some of them.
Don't worry about the name tag.
Tomorrow, June 28th,
Monday, June 28th,
I'll be on At Midnight on Comedy Central
and much music for our friends up in Canada.
Thanks.
Wednesday, July...
You don't have to clap for all of my upcoming gigs.
Wednesday, July 1st, Douglas Movies is going to be back at the Improv in Tempe, Arizona.
That's this Wednesday.
Come for the air conditioning.
Stay for the movie trivia.
It's kind of the opposite here today.
I'm going to take off my hoodie.
I'll be second now.
Friday night, I'll be in Denver
for a screening of my latest movie,
Chronicon, episode 420, A New Dope,
at the Alamo
Drafthouse in Littleton, which is
just there outside of Denver.
The movie's at midnight, but we're going to have a pre-party starting at 10, so come on by.
And Douglas Movies is coming to a dozen cities or more, including San Diego, Pittsburgh, Traverse City, New York City, London, and more.
So go to DouglasMovies.com to find out if it's coming to your town or close enough.
And the next Douglas Movies here at Meltdown is going to be on Thursday night, July 23rd,
and tickets are already on sale
because today sold out today.
There's a few sweet seats over in this corner
where you get to see the profile of the guests
if you're lucky.
I'd rather be in the back, personally, but you get to sit where you want.
And I brought for the prize bag a copy of Promotional Tool.
And he's not here today.
Don't get excited.
But I brought his book because I read it, and it's great, and I want to pay it forward.
It's a book that was written by Fred Stoller called Maybe We'll Have You Back,
The Life of a Perennial TV Guest Star.
That's in the prize bag.
And I think her name is Catherine
in New York City made this for me
and it's been sitting in my home
and when the lights are off, it scares me.
No, I'm just never going to do anything with it.
It's just sitting there.
So I thought I'd bring it and give it to somebody.
And it's a knit face hugger from the Alien films.
And you can really just strap it on.
And be like, oh no, my face is being hugged.
Or if you're a tense person and you need your face hugged regularly,
that'd be weird to wear that on a plane.
Anyway, there's going to be lots more stuff for the prize bag.
I'm glad I didn't bring much,
because somebody's walking out here with a shit ton of things.
And as you can see, we've got three guest chairs
lined up, so let's get them out here.
Please give a big, warm welcome to
Jonah Ray, Brett Morgan, and Michael
Sheen! All right.
Are you about to say something?
No.
Okay.
You just did, though.
So I'll go ahead and introduce you.
That's Jonah Ray, everybody.
Hello.
Thank you.
A regular on the show,
and no stranger to this stage that we're on right now,
because this is where his TV program
and weekly show here at Meltdown
Comics called The Meltdown.
This is where it happens. Yes.
And the season two is this Tuesday
night. So please. It starts
up again on Tuesday? Yeah.
What great promotional timing.
I just asked you to come on because you hadn't been
on in a while. You didn't say you needed to
promote anything. I don't want to impose
but it worked out perfectly. It looked so
good. So I acted real cool about it.
Tuesday night, at what time?
12.30 a.m.
After at midnight.
I still call it the
Minority Report because that's so much better title
than whatever it's called with
Larry Wilmore. That would be a better
title.
And we got two new guests, you guys.
I'm so excited. I don't know who
to introduce first, so I'm going to start with the man
who's probably going to be the most uncomfortable
by the time this is over,
because he's really
wearing nice clothes,
like a jacket
and everything.
It's a documentary filmmaker,
Brett Morgan, everybody.
So excited to get him for the podcast.
I started hounding him right after I saw
the Kurt Cobain documentary, Montage of Heck.
And here we are.
And again, the movie's out, and
I think most people who want to see it
have seen it. So you're
just here for fun. Just here
for fun.
So I hope you have some.
for anybody
who's not familiar, in addition to
that film, he also directed one of the
classic documentaries called The Kid Stays
in the Picture.
Oh!
Yeah. IMDB that shit.
And then
also, most recently, I just saw it after
the Kurt Cobain thing, because HBO showed it
a little bit, but it's a couple years old.
The Rolling Stones doc, Crossfire
Hurricane.
When that came out, did that stir anything?
Was there anything in that movie that got people worked up?
I don't think so.
I mean, it took you a couple years to even know about it.
Yeah, right?
Jesus.
Apparently not.
That's what I mean.
I didn't remember any kind of controversy,
or even that the film was out there.
And then HBO
showed it and I saw your name on it so
it was exciting to see because
it's also, it's very good but it's obviously
a less incendiary
subject and they're all for the most
part alive.
They seem
all to be, yeah right?
And we also have here on the panel
an actor I've admired for a long time.
It's really uncomfortable sitting next to you
as you say that.
The Damned United is a favorite of mine.
I enjoy that movie
and
it's sort of like
is kind of
now that FIFA's
in all this trouble
because of that movie
the movie makes
yes
the movie makes
even more sense
right
that it's always been
an organization
in turmoil
yes
controversy
take that an organization in turmoil. Yes. Provisy. Take that.
Take that, documentarian.
And of course,
the Twilight movies
and...
I'm just going to sit here
and list off all of his movies.
Let's play a round
of Last Man's Den
with Michael Sheen
sitting here
watching us do it
but Masters of Sex
on Showtime
that comes back
very soon
it does
July the 12th
we're halfway
through shooting it now
alright
same day as
Ray Donovan
say it again
is it the same night
that Ray Donovan
comes back
I believe it's on
after Ray Donovan
oh great
I'm a Donna fan.
Ah.
Way into it.
In terms of the relationship between Masters of Sex and Ray Donovan, we're the top.
Ah.
Ray Donovan is the bottom.
No, man.
Ray Donovan is nobody's bottom.
There's a hearty laugh in the front row.
Somebody took his Eddie Murphy pills or something.
It's weird that they made that pill.
I can't even do it.
Oh, and Far From the Madding Crowd is in theaters now.
It is.
And I hear only good things about it from your girlfriend. I haven't even do it. Oh, and Far From the Madding Crowd is in theaters now. It is. And I hear only good things about it from your girlfriend.
I haven't seen it yet, but that Carrie Mulligan's a damn delight.
Oh, she's great.
I saw her in Skylight with Bill Nighy on Broadway.
It was a wonderful time.
Yeah, no, she's wonderful.
It's a beautiful film.
You got to look at her all day every day.
I only watched her for two hours.
Yeah.
I thought we did the plugs at the end.
I know.
I'm just sort of throwing them out there.
Thanks.
What we got to do now is talk about what you guys brought for the prize bag.
Let's end with Michael.
Because he brought a fucking sack like it's fucking British Santa Claus.
What's Santa Claus called over there? It's called Santa Claus. What's Santa Claus
called over there?
It's called Santa Claus.
I had a feeling
it was pretty much the same.
He's called Daddy Christmas.
Okay, so we'll start
with Brett down there
on the other end.
What did you bring for the prize box?
I'm going to acquiesce to Michael.
I think he brought enough for all of us.
He should just go straight to his bag.
It was totally intimidating backstage.
I just think he should just go straight there.
Yeah, it's a lot.
Really?
You don't want to give away the stuff you brought?
I'll just, yeah, I brought...
That way you don't have to carry it back home.
I brought, and just mind you, Michael did say he just
grabbed a few things on the way out the door.
It's true.
So there's like a vase in there or something?
It's nuts. You'll see.
It's crazy.
It's a picture of my mom.
I brought
Half a roll of toilet paper
I brought the
Volume 1
30 for 30
30 film
Blu-ray DVD
That's another thing
I wanted to ask you about
You directed a 30 for 30
I did the June 17th
1994 one about OJ
You know what If Ray Donovan was around 30 for 30. I did the June 17, 1994 one about O.J.
You know what?
If Ray Donovan was around,
O.J. would have had no problems at all.
He fixes things.
So, I've never watched a 30 on 30,
but everybody always raves about how great they are and that I should.
Is this a good
one to start with, you think?
It's the only one I've seen all the way
through.
I don't know.
It is brilliant. Yours is brilliant.
The other brilliant one is Magic Johnson
versus Larry Bird. That is
incredible. Those are the two best. June 17th
and Larry Bird.
My favorite 30 for 30 is Frost Nixon.
About that table tennis match they had.
Don't be giving away secrets of mine.
Oh, sorry, sorry.
And what else you got there, Brett?
I have the Montage of Heck souvenir book.
Nice.
That's great. Nice. That's great.
Those are both great.
Pass those down here.
I'm happy to keep them myself.
Those are terrific, terrific things for the prize bag.
And how does that 30 for 30, like how does that work?
Like would you do it?
Can you do another one or would you want to?
It was, you know, you don't get paid,
so if you're into the subject, it's fun.
It was because you're super into OJ.
No, you know, the OJ one, if you've seen the OJ one,
it was actually a bit like sort of being a human
remote control for the programming
for the day. It was actually a lot of fun
to make for that reason because there's no
interviews and there's no dialogue and it's just
pure immersion.
I did it because on
paper it seemed like a sort of
docu-version of a Jerry Bruckheimer film.
And then
that was sort of the inspiration.
Yeah, but in a Bruckheimer movie, they
drive slower and then make it look like
they're driving really fast.
They're doing it on the back of a truck or something.
But
that sounds great.
I'll never forget that day that
O.J. ran and how the whole
world stopped to look at that.
We didn't have anything better to do.
Jonah, what do you have for the prize bag?
Well, like usual, Doug, I forgot to
bring something when I got here.
Oh, so you just tore something off of the wall?
Back there in the green room?
No, it's a
piece of fan art someone made
of a character I do on the Nerdist Podcast
called Bruce Gutter.
And it's done as like a Nagel-style print of the time.
Right.
One of the sexiest artists ever.
Yeah, with his catchphrase,
the cocaine is in the back.
I signed it,
because the idea of this character
is that he's been in over like 100 TV shows
from the years 1979 to 1984.
But he was always
like an under five guy
and he was always
a henchman
to the main bad guy boss.
And he only had lines like,
the cocaine's in the back.
And that was it.
So by under five,
you mean five words
or less.
Yeah,
five words or less.
And then so I signed it
as he probably would,
which is just to say namaste.
So that's my...
I'm sure Nagel's very spiritual.
Yeah.
All right, Michael.
Let's see the goodness.
I hope those seats are comfortable,
because you're going to be that for a while.
You really brought a big bag of stuff.
Look at the size of this thing.
Here, you want me to hold the bag
and you can just rifle through it?
We'll start with this.
This is a cushion with me on it.
I've never heard such gasps of delight.
It's a very
handsome
master of sex
attired bow tie
Michael Sheen
on a pillow.
On a big fluffy pillow.
Like you cannot do this justice
on a podcast.
How amazing this pillow is.
Just imagine one of those
Japanese girlfriend pillows.
For anyone who was wanting to sit on my face.
Namaste.
Staying within that theme.
Sit, Ubu, sit.
Good dog.
We have.
I went through a cupboard Sit, Ubu, sit. Good dog. We have.
I went through a cupboard and I found the original pilot episode script
of Masters of Sex,
which I have signed.
And then I've also thrown in,
there was an episode for anyone who watches the show,
an episode last season that got a lot of attention,
which was called Fight,
which is episode three,
which all took place in one hotel room.
Also have the signed script of that as well.
Whoa.
Any one of these things.
But wait, there's more, yeah.
This is
a photograph from the
makeup test
of Underworld.
And that is, this is me
trying out my contact lenses on my teeth for the first time. And that is, this is me trying out my contact lenses
on my teeth
for the first time.
There it is.
Is that also available
in pillow form?
No.
Then,
okay,
quickly,
there are some,
these are just things
I've been in.
Frost Nixon,
signed.
The Queen,
signed.
All these things are signed,
so you're going to make a lot of money,
whoever gets this bag.
Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2, signed.
My favorite of the Twilight movies,
because he's in it more than the other ones.
Special Relationship, signed.
Tron Legacy signed
got the nerds
with that one
and
oh it's got a 3D
cover too
yeah
possibly my most
popular one
Tinkerbell and the
Great Fairy Rescue
signed
signed
motherfuckers
just to finish off
two things I'm not in
the greatest documentary
about film ever made
the story of film
and
the soundtrack
and this is just because
I've got two of them
and I found it
before I left the house
along with the vase
soundtrack on vinyl
of eight and a half before I left the house, along with the vase. Soundtrack on vinyl of 8 1⁄2.
The soundtrack for Fellini's 8.5.
That's terrific.
Well, yeah, I guess, Brad, I'll give you these things back.
No, it's all amazing
And thank you guys, especially Jonah
For bringing such amazing stuff
It's a one of a kind
Piece of art
Give me that big bag so I can put everything
Everything back in it
I thought you were just hanging onto the pillow out of comfort
I hope whoever wins this walks through airports with it
Uses it as their plane pillow.
Because it would really work as such.
Let's throw that in there, too.
Yeah, we're good.
All right.
What's next for Brett Morgan?
Do you have something you're working on now
or just coming off of promoting the Kurt Cobain thing?
Just coming off, like, five months promoting the Cobain thing.
Yeah, I heard you in a lot of places talking about it.
What was the most annoying, like what was the question
you got asked every time that you got super
sick of? Just so we can talk about
it again.
I don't dwell
though. I move on right after you
give me a real answer.
But you don't even have to answer that.
That might be the question.
Maybe after a few of them, everybody just kept saying,
what do you hate about interviews?
But you were out there quite a bit.
But have you seen anything lately?
Have you been to the movies?
I saw Max the other night. About the dog?
Yeah. I thought for a second
you might be abbreviating Mad Max.
I saw Max. So you saw Furry Road, not
Fury Road.
So that's the one about the war dog, right?
Did you like it?
Did you see it?
You know what?
That's the bane of every filmmaker's existence,
what you just did.
What, me?
No, what Doug did.
Oh.
Stay out of it, Jonas.
What did I do?
No, no, no.
It's just a common thing that when you make a film,
people always have these grandiose ideas of you spent all this time and energy making a film,
and it's going to do something or something. And I always say, at the end of the day, all you can really hope for is someone says,
did you like the film?
And then they go, yeah, it was all right.
And then you change the subject, which you're about to do,
before I even answer the question.
What question?
Exactly.
It was great.
You liked it? I do want to hear what you thought of it.
It is a good film?
You know what? Did anyone see it?
I think it's too early.
It's not even out yet, is it?
You would all be with your kids now if you had kids instead of being here.
Is it out already or does it come out Friday or something?
It came out.
My seven-year-old's actually seen it twice already.
Oh, okay.
Is it a family movie?
Get on it, you guys.
Everybody's messing around with Inside Out if they're going to family things right now.
It's kind of bad timing.
My seven-year-old did want to see Ted 2.
And I tried to convince my wife because it's a teddy bear.
So we put Ted 1 on
this morning. I'm not joking. This is what happened right before
we came here because I wanted to go to the 1 o'clock
Ted 2 show with my
7-year-old and my 12-year-old.
So we put on Ted 1
and we're watching it and we got through
the movie. We got through the whole
opening in good shape
because it's the whole like
Christmas music and you know let's go beat up
the Jew and
we all thought it was really funny and it was really
and my
wife literally turns to me and was like
okay and then the movie cuts to
present day and the first thing Ted's doing
is something about like and then she fucking came
does this whole orgasm thing
and then that was where we went
and then... That's where you lost
permission to take the kids to see Ted 2?
And you weren't expecting anything
like that to happen when you put
Ted 1 on
for your 12-year-old.
It was a complete surprise.
Yeah, Ted 2's probably
dirtier than the first one.
They're probably emboldened by it,
so your kids would have really had a treat
if you'd have pulled that off.
But for one more time, just to be on the record
and get people to go see it, Max is a quality film.
You know, I will tell you that I wasn't expecting
to be publicly on the record about Max.
I would have paid more attention, but I will... I will say that I didn't know
that it was about this... There was a war
story. It's set against
this whole war story, so it's kind
of moving and very
patriotic.
But compared to like Air Bud
movies...
You're being ironic, and I've seen all the Air Bud movies You know what You're being ironic
And I've seen all the Air Bud movies
Even Space Buddies?
Dude that one played forever
You have no idea
You have no idea
You're literally talking to someone
Who's like heard Space Buddies
Like 28 times
And there's a dog named Buddy heard Space Buddies like 28 times.
And there's a dog named Buddy.
What about you, Jonah?
Have you been to the movies?
Yeah, I've been seeing a lot of movies.
The most recent movie I saw was The Overnight,
which I think is fantastic.
Adam Scott, Jason Schwartzman,
Taylor Schilling is in it. Schwartzman has a big fake dick in it. Big fake dick, and Adam Scott has a Scott, Jason Schwartzman, Taylor Schilling is in it.
Schwartzman has a big fake dick in it.
Big fake dick.
And Adam Scott has a tiny fake dick.
And it's played for laughs.
It's very funny.
It's like a really cool movie.
It's produced by the Duplass Brothers.
And Patrick Bryce is the guy that wrote and directed it.
I recommend it highly.
It's a very funny movie.
All takes place in one night where it's like new couple friends are meeting and then there's the chance of a
swinger situation and it just kind of goes on
from there. It's really funny. I love it.
I haven't seen it, but I love it.
And
you sounded like you were going to
say some other movie as well, or is that...
Oh, I saw
Soaked in Bleach,
the other Kurt Cobain doc.
Which is like, if you guys have ever seen...
I saw a montage of Heck and it's fantastic.
I recommend it to everybody.
But for anyone that has a penchant to watch 9-11 conspiracy movies,
like Loose Change, watch Soaked in Bleach.
It's like the same kind of thing.
It's like the Loose Change of Kurt Cobain's conspiracy theories.
You said that back there
and I didn't know what it meant then either.
Did you know loose change?
What's loose change?
It's a documentary
which is all the different conspiracy theories
surrounding 9-11.
I thought we were coming here
to talk about 9-11.
Was I wrong?
I haven't listened to the podcast in so long
The only doc I've seen about 9-11
Is the Oliver Stone one
It wasn't a documentary
Should I have said Nicolas Cage?
Would that have been funnier?
Let's just, we'll cut that part out
And I'll just say
The only conspiracy doc about 9-11
I've seen
starred Nicolas Cage.
I'm not really
going to edit anything.
But okay,
so having seen this thing,
what's it called again?
Soaked in Bleach.
Soaked in Bleach.
I don't recommend it
as far as good movies.
I recommend Montage of Heck,
which is a fantastic movie.
Is bleach spelled
how the album?
What?
Is bleach spelled
how the album bleach is spelled? Yes, and also the actual word. Oh, I how the album? What? Is bleach spelled how the album bleach is spelled?
Yes, and also the actual word.
Oh, I thought the album was two E's
and the word is E-A.
No, no, no.
Okay.
I must have gotten some sort of weird bootleg.
Who knows what I've been listening to all these years.
It's Nirvana with two I's, right?
Nirvana.
We're close to Nirvana.
Not quite there.
Out utero.
Smells like, smells like...
Is that it?
That's all I got so far
This isn't a hashtag war
Settle down
No but
Having seen that movie
The bleach thing
Yeah
Do you now think that
Someone killed
Kurt Cobain
And that he didn't
Take his own life
Well here's the thing
I'm very gullible
All the time.
It's like if you talk to me about one thing for long enough,
I'd be like, that's a good point.
But you kind of get immersed in it
and you start to do that thing where you're like,
yeah, why is the shell casing
on the other side of the body?
Why did they do that? Why did this?
But to assume that there was this crazy master plan
by some people that probably couldn't pull it off,
it's a bit far-fetched.
I think everyone knows it was Saudi Arabia now.
Right, exactly.
Kurt Cobain, World Trade Center.
Brett's just sitting this conversation out
over there.
I brought it up backstage
and he kind of gave me the, uh,
I'd rather you didn't mention that moment.
Oh, then you probably shouldn't have.
Yeah, I had a lot of coffee before getting here.
But I'm trying to say that that one's dumb
and yours is awesome.
He's going to accept that silently.
He's just sitting there thinking about Max.
It's set against the...
Most recent war.
Michael, have you been to the cinema?
I went to see...
I mean, you're not going to believe this,
but there's another documentary about Kurt Cobain.
And it's great.
Very controversial.
No, I watched a film recently.
I didn't go to the cinema to see it,
but I watched it on DVD at home.
Yes, and it's called
The Host. Has anyone seen that? The Korean movie.
That's a great movie.
By Bong Joon-ho.
Fantastic movie.
I love all that guy's films.
They're amazing. He went on to do
Snowpiercer, right? He did. Snowpiercer was his
first English language one, I think.
He did a fantastic serial killer one called Memories of Murder.
Mother, which is a great one as well.
So he's great.
Yeah, check that guy out.
Yeah.
Good monster movie.
Yeah.
What's his name again?
Bong Joon-ho.
But sometimes, apparently, he goes by, and I'm not joking, he goes by Joon-ho Bong.
He just flips it.
He just flips it. He just flips it.
Why not?
Yeah.
Probably does it in that order
when it's time for dinner.
Yeah.
Or at 420, I don't know.
In the second half of this show,
if you could refer to me as Sheen Michael,
I would prefer that.
Why does Charlie Sheen embarrass you?
You seen the doc about him?
I met Martin Sheen once, and I was so tempted to say,
I want to be the son that you always wanted.
But I didn't. I didn't.
I think President Bartlett and Tony Blair got along pretty well, didn't they?
Yeah.
I was introduced to him as a woman took me over to him at a party,
and she said, Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister.
And you all laughed until you peed yourselves.
I saw, what did I see?
On the plane, I saw Jupiter ascending.
That looks bonkers.
Expand your universe.
Yes.
I listened to this show.
That's the tagline.
Bring on the tagline, gang.
I was surprised that Mila Kunis is the title character of a movie called Jupiter Ascending.
Her name in the movie
is Jupiter.
And at one point
somebody says,
hey, Jupiter,
and she goes,
call me Jupe.
That's all I have to say
about that movie.
Was that character's response?
No, never.
They just looked at her like,
I'm uncomfortable
calling you Jupiter.
Why is Jupe better?
Put another dime in the Jupe box.
This is the part of the show where I say,
let the games begin.
We're going to play some games
and somebody's going to win all these prizes.
Huh? The poster, huh?
Nice poster.
Maybe you can make the other side of the pillow
this face.
I do realize that these gifts
sort of depend on you being kind of
into me.
If you're not, they're absolute shit.
There's some great movies in there.
Is that Tinkerbell thing?
Odyssey of Film? That's great.
You did a great job.
It's a lot of great stuff.
Everybody loves to take home
a big bag of stuff.
A lot of people stuff, and, you know, everybody loves to take home a big bag of stuff. Yeah.
And they all brought, a lot of people brought name tags.
And so the idea is now I need you guys to all pick out the name tag that you'd like to play for today,
for whatever reason.
If you're hungry, there's food items.
There's lots of things to choose from.
So just go ahead and put your microphone down.
Just go out into the audience and get it from them.
Go grab it from them.
And while you guys do that, we'll do this.
We'll be right back.
Hey, everybody.
There's no sponsor for this episode,
but I just wanted to take a second to talk about the Traverse City Film Festival.
I just wanted to take a second to talk about the Traverse City Film Festival.
If you're in the Michigan-Mitten area, be sure to come from July 28th through August 2nd.
It's an awesome film festival that I'll be attending for the second time.
And this year, I'm going to do a Douglas Movies on Wednesday, July 29th. And then we're going to do a Benson Movie Interruption
of Top Gun on Thursday
the 30th.
And then at midnight on
August 1st
for the first time ever, I'm going to
interrupt Speed.
And you know what? I think I'm going to bring
along Jeff Tate
for all of the fun.
So get your tickets now. Go to Douglovesmovies.com for links to all of my dates.
I'm doing Doug Loves Movies all over the place this summer and in the fall.
And I can't wait to see you and your beautiful name tags.
Let's go back to the show.
We're back. Who are you playing
for, Michael? You went deep into the crowd
and came back with something very small.
I did.
I think I know why.
It's because I'm on this one.
Yes.
I am playing for,
I assume, Allison.
Allison Wonderland.
It's Allison Wonderland, and there is a picture of, I believe
it's you. That's my face over
Johnny Depp's face. Yeah, and I believe it's
Allison herself over the
face of, we are, what's the house?
And no one over the face
of me. I am in fact the white rabbit.
Yeah, he's already got his face
over yours. Yeah, so
we could put the cushion over his face, perhaps.
Yeah.
And that would be smothering a rabbit.
Isn't there...
Should there be a sequel to that happening?
Didn't it make a gazillion dollars?
Yeah.
I was just...
Funnily enough, I was in Warner Brothers
the day before yesterday doing my stuff on it.
So it will be coming out probably in about five years.
Do you remember, like, one line that you had to say as the rabbit?
It's mainly Woo Alice woo
What C-3PO was busy
Cause he does voices now
Anthony Daniels
But that's a good one and it's got a shithead on the back, so don't read that.
Good choice.
Thanks.
Jonah, who are you playing for?
I got Big Trouble and Little Rena.
And it's got you and Kurt Russell, which I think would have been a better choice than The Rock for the remake.
I'd imagine I want you in the remake of Big Trouble and Little China.
Okay.
Let's do a write-in campaign.
All right, let's do it.
Everybody would rather see me than The Rock.
No, don't get me wrong.
I'm really excited to see The Rock in a remake of that movie.
Because I love The Rock no matter what.
He is pure charm.
Wait, you started by really going after him and now you love him?
We don't know what's true anymore. We don't know what's true anymore.
We don't know what's true anymore.
Okay, and who you play for, Brett?
Mac and me.
So it's someone named Mac?
It looks like a redhead named Mac Michelle, maybe.
Mackenzie.
Mackenzie?
Mackenzie.
All right.
Mac Michelle.
There's a little icon.
The unknown Scottish clan? Mac Michelle. Did you a little icon. The unknown Scottish clan.
Mac Michelle.
Did you ever see that film, Brett?
That was a McDonald's film, wasn't it?
It was a big ad for McDonald's.
I didn't see that.
That was a rip-off of E.T.
That was...
And it was E.T. if he always looked like he was about to blow somebody.
Which, as we know,
E.T. only looked like that on occasion.
He was a little bit
more flexible than this guy.
Yeah, it's a crazy-ass
movie, and I recommend it
to anybody who wants to see something
crazy-ass.
Hey, let me ask in the booth, did we hear from Mark Wahlberg
today at all? No? Okay.
It would just be a recording of him if we did.
But yeah, it's always fun when he does that.
But he didn't get back to us today.
So let's start off with, I know Michael's excited.
Let's play Whose Tagline Is It Anyway?
It's a brand new game we've been playing.
And I'll say the tagline from a movie to one of you,
and then you have to guess what it is.
But if there's a failed guess,
the next guy in line gets a crack at it.
So be thinking about it.
And we'll start with you, Michael.
And you get to...
I'm sorry, we'll start with you, Sheen, Michael.
Thank you.
Thank you, Bong Benson Tell me
Tell me if you can
What movie this was the tagline for
From a dimension beyond the living
A terror to scare you
To death
This is quite threatening
I like to survive When I go to the movies to scare you to death. This is quite threatening.
Really, I like to survive when I go to the movies.
But in this case,
you would be scared to death.
Do you have any idea what that is?
Scared to death.
From a dimension beyond the living.
Yeah.
Is it Nightmare on Elm Street?
No.
Yeah. Yeah.
Shit.
That movie's from a dimension beyond being awake.
That's true.
Any idea, Jonah, what this movie?
Is it Hellraiser?
No, that's another great clue, though.
I hate that pinhead guy in those movies.
I hate the chatter teeth guy.
Tomato, tomato.
Brett, do you have any idea what movie that's the tagline for?
Is it Hellraiser 2?
I like that strategy.
This just boggles my mind
because I don't remember that being the tagline
and it also just seems silly
for a movie that was actually pretty cool.
That was from the very first
Tobey Hooper directed Poltergeist.
Poltergeist.
That was the tagline for Poltergeist.
Do it again.
From a dimension
beyond the living.
A terror to scare you
to death.
Yeah, I don't know. That was somebody
somebody left work early that day.
Somebody
in the studio was just like, alright, let's
just go with that. Do you have that Poltergeist tagline?
I have this one we didn't use for Hellraiser.
Oh, I have it now.
That should be fine.
Somebody was probably like,
why don't we go with they're here?
And somebody else was like,
that doesn't say anything about the movie.
Who's they?
Where's they? What is they?
What dimension are they from?
Alright let's do another one
This is awesome
Alright Michael
Seen Michael
Trick or treat
Or die All right, Michael. Scene Michael. Trick or treat or die.
What movie was that the tagline for?
Trick or treat or die.
I'm going to have to go for the obvious here.
Okay.
Which is Halloween.
That's correct.
Yeah!
I thought it was a Benson bluff.
Yeah.
Man.
Or it could have been that movie Trick or Treat.
I was going to say Halloween 3.
Really?
Yeah.
That tagline had to be something about witches, right?
Because that was the season of the witch.
Oh, that's right.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't know what they said about him, though.
All right, Jonah.
Here's your...
We're going to move on to another one.
So if you miss, you're going to be out.
Because Michael got one. So if you miss, you're going to be out. Because Michael got one.
She walked off the street,
into his life,
and stole his heart.
Pretty woman.
That's correct.
She sure did.
And the countries, you know.
All right, Brett.
Here's one for you.
Up there with the best of the best.
Up there with the best of the best.
That's not a critic blurb.
That's their tagline.
That's what they thought would sell this movie.
You're going to want to see this movie.
Up there.
The best of the best.
Just cut me off whenever you need to move on.
You have 45 minutes.
It's going to stay unlimited, but we only go to six.
Up there with the best of the best.
She's going to have to.
Best in show.
Yeah, that would make sense, maybe.
We move on to Michael.
For survival in this game, you have to come up with it,
or it'll go to Jonah.
Up there with the best of the best.
That's correct.
Broke it down, piece by piece.
I was going to say the air up there.
Who's up there?
Who could be the best of the best?
Air Bud!
I thought perhaps Top Gun would have a much more well-known tagline.
Yeah.
Highway to the danger zone.
I feel the need.
Yeah.
Dot, dot, dot.
Top cut.
All right.
I'm not gay.
Just hanging with the boys.
Yeah.
All right, Jonah, you get to go first.
Okay.
And then Michael.
Brett's out.
Sorry, Brett.
He doesn't give a shit.
Michael. Brett's out. Sorry, Brett.
He doesn't give a shit.
400 million people were waiting for the truth.
400 million people
were waiting for the truth.
What the fuck?
400 million people.
Mm-hmm.
So it's like the world.
I'm sorry, I read it wrong.
The world were waiting
for the truth.
Soaked in bleach.
No.
No. Soaked in bleach No God
I don't
Nothing
Contact
No
Michael
Is it little Buddha
But you win our game because you lasted the longest,
and this particular one is from Frost Nixon.
Oh, my God!
He's so good at this game.
That's good. It shows you're not a narcissist.
You don't sit around looking at your own movie posters.
I knew it was familiar.
Is it on the DVD cover of the movie?
Yes, it is.
All right.
That was great.
Michael's our winner.
There's not going to be any more of that kind of thing,
is there, in this?
What's that mean?
I mean, me using your movies and seeing if you can recognize them?
Yes.
That's exactly what I mean.
It's, you know, it's all random.
I put stuff in and forget about it,
and then it just turns out to be a fun coincidence.
Doug loves movies sponsored by Saudi Arabia.
We've got a category in Letterman Game called You're In This,
so that one might have a movie that you were in.
But Jonah's made some films.
One.
What was that?
What was it? Mama's Boy,
starring John Heder.
Somebody saw it.
The scene I was in was with John Heder,
Adam Devine from Workaholics,
and a guy from
the Big Bang Theory. So everyone else in the Adam Devine from Workaholics and a guy from the
Big Bang Theory. So everyone else in the
scene I'm in are literal millionaires.
And I live in Highland Park.
But hey, it's all about the art.
Was traffic messed up
when Obama went to Marin's garage?
No.
I actually waited on the street.
He was supposed to drive down York and 51,
and I was waiting on the street with a bunch of other bozos.
Then some guy, literally in clown makeup,
was riding his cruiser bike down the hill going,
he went over Townsend.
And everyone was like, fine!
Literal clown
makeup.
I swore that day,
if I could take my vote back, I would have.
Let's play a game called Last Man Stanton.
Named after the great Harry Dean Stanton
who came on the show and when we played this game
with his own films
he won
so we're all very happy for him
is that another dig at me?
no
it was pretty hilarious
because he's old and has been in over 200 movies.
And he had as much difficulty thinking of his own movies as we did.
But he still won.
He prevailed because he thought of one more than anybody else.
But today we're going to do...
How do I pick who's going to be the name that we use?
Oh, this gentleman right up here in the
front row seems confident.
Is it written in a foreign language
on your arm? Did you get
a tattoo to remind yourself
what it is? An actor
or actress who's been in a ton of stuff?
Gene Hackman. Gene Hackman, I love
it. Alright, Gene Hackman.
So I'm going to play two
and we'll start with Michael
and go to Jonah and then to Brett
and then to me.
And all you got to do
is just name a Gene Hackman movie
until we run out.
If you can't think of one,
or you guess something.
Fuck.
Is all this laughter because
except for Michael and me,
it seems like maybe this is gonna be tough?
Let's try it.
Let's let Michael go first.
It might jar something.
The Royal Denenbaum.
Yes.
Enemy of the State.
Yeah.
That's right.
Alright, Brett.
The Conversation.
Uh-huh.
I'll go with
Young Frankenstein.
It's one scene.
He plays the old blind guy.
I'm going to go with...
French Connection.
Enemy of the state.
I'm out.
I'm out.
I'm fucking out.
of the States.
I'm out.
I'm out.
Let's talk about it.
You're really already out?
Yeah, I don't know.
I'm not conceding,
but in case I forget for the next round,
I have to say it now.
French Connection Part 2.
You were next.
You were next.
Yeah, I know.
So that's where you want to go
with French Connection Part 2?
I'm pretty sure
he was in the sequel
Was confirmation
I think that one probably hinged on him being in it
Although Robin Williams eventually played Popeye
French Connection jokes, the kids love them
Gene Hackman.
I have to, of course, say Hoosiers.
Hoosiers.
The Conversation.
I think we said that one already.
Oh, you did? Yeah, Brett said that one.
Yeah, yeah.
You could come up with another one, though.
The Great Gene Hacken.
Oh, I just thought of one.
Oh, there's another one.
I got one.
You got any more, Michael?
Yeah.
Isn't this harder to play than when you're listening to it?
Oh, yeah.
When you're up here, it's super hard.
What was that one that he was in?
I just thought of it.
I know.
Yes.
Yeah.
Say it.
Yeah.
Spit it out.
No.
Not in the middle of the
stage.
See, I'm going to give
away what it is now to someone else, but I can't. You can't think of that one where you do that thing? All right, I'm going to give away what it is now to someone else, but I can't.
You can't think of that one where you do that thing?
All right, I'm going to help you out.
Yeah, give it away to Brett.
Go ahead.
Clint Eastwood.
Yeah.
Oh, got it, got it, got it.
You're out of time.
Got it.
All right, Michael's out.
Everyone can hold back on that one, yeah.
All right, Brett.
Say it.
What's it called?
You know what?
Well, I wasn't going to say it
but then you will say it
so I'm unforgiven.
Yes.
That's right.
Unforgiven.
How about
Loose Cannons?
Is anyone confirming
that that's a film?
I don't believe
there's a film
called Loose Cannons.
I am calling bullshit
that there's a film. Like everyone Candid. I am calling bullshit that there's a film.
Like, everyone in this room just went along with that.
Like, oh yeah, Loose Candid.
No one knows this movie Loose Candid with Dan Aykroyd.
How do you do it with Dan Aykroyd?
Someone would say something if I was wrong.
All right.
I'm going to say...
Or we'll find out tomorrow.
Is it my turn?
Yes, sir.
It's just you and me.
Oh, shit. This guy's looking
shit up on his phone. And he's completely invested.
Should we wait?
I think we should wait. Go ahead.
I can't wait anyway.
This other phone, we've got the answer. Put your phone
away. Don't get your phone out
during the show. Do the phones go to different
internets? The booth
just gave me the thumbs up.
The booth's internet says
I'm right. I don't care what audience
internet says.
I was going to say the
Coppola film Garden of
Valor
Garden of Stone.
Right? Yeah.
Where's the help? That sounds about right
They're not supposed to help you
They know that
Excuse me
Don't help me
Right?
Wait, all of you fell for the Dan Aykroyd
And now one of you is going for a fucking garden of stone?
It sounds legit
It's legit
Well, you didn't have confidence
You have to be with more confidence
You have to be with Garden of Stone
Oh, Garden of Sun.
It doesn't matter how confident you are.
It's Al Kilmer.
Next.
All right, I'll go with...
How about...
Let's do his last film that he made.
Because you've got to go out on a classic.
Welcome to Mooseport.
With Ray Romano?
Has anyone said Toy?
Toy? The Barry Levinson
film? Oh, The Toy.
Do you need Hackman's in that? Yeah, he is.
Sure is.
I don't think he is In fact I'm not even going to look
I'm positive he's not in it
Okay I'll just throw one more in there
For fun
A little movie called Superman
And then several of the sequels.
And, yeah, but Brett is our winner.
You did it.
Do I get Michael's prizes?
Nope.
I want that makeup test picture.
It's just looking at you.
Gotta turn that makeup test picture. It's just looking at you. You've got to turn that into a pillow.
Yeah, if the guests want something in the bag,
I'm going to give it to them.
What's happening?
You handed it to me, so I'm checking it out.
Ah, give it back.
Okay.
I really wanted you to have it, but somebody's going to get it.
Brett, do you have any idea how the Leonard Maltin game works?
I do.
I actually read it up outside on Wikipedia, believe it or not.
If you look up your show on Wikipedia, they describe the Leonard Maltin show.
Let me see if I can get this straight, Doug.
Okay. You're going to
give me a caption of a Leonard Maltin
review and we're going to tell you
what the film is.
You have to guess based on
the actors' names in the film.
Leonard always lists a ton of actors
so I'll tell you how many it is and then we start the
bidding at the maximum number and
we bid down until somebody tells somebody next to them to name it.
And you get to pick the first category, so that's good.
Documentary.
Get it a little bit into your wheelhouse.
So many great casts in documentaries.
Kurt Cobain documentaries that came out this year is to be.
That's still two movies, apparently.
I haven't even heard of this other thing until Jonah came into the room.
You get to pick between...
They're suggested oftentimes by people on Twitter, the categories.
That Jammer Josh suggested
Going Clear,
which is in fact a documentary.
But this particular category is
movies that have an invisible character in them.
Or
I Said Good Day.
And that is Daniel
Day-Lewis movies
that Leonard Maltin gave three stars or more.
I said good day.
That's good day.
Mmm, good day.
And then your third option is Passenger 50 Slevin,
which is the films of Josh Hartnett or Wesley Snipes.
There's only one Wesley Snipes.
Little 30 rock reference.
Which one of those?
Which one of those do you like?
As much as I think the crowd would
like to hear the third, I'm going to have to
support my
documentarians and do Going Clear for $300.
Well, this certainly isn't a documentary.
Somebody's invisible in it.
And Leonard only gave it two stars.
And the year, it's a tough one, 1967.
Yeah. And the year, it's a tough one, 1967.
Yeah.
And Leonard says about this movie that it's silly and that it's a kitty feature.
Kitty.
Kitty.
Or kitty.
K-I-D-D-I-E.
Kitty feature.
Not the cat from outer space. Like he's from outer space not the cat from outer space like he's from outer space
he also can go invisible
it's a strange world
and here's another strange thing
Leonard only lists four names associated
with being in this film
so
Brett I would recommend for an opening bid
just to,
you know,
say I can name it
in four names
at least to get all the names.
I say four names,
but I think I could do it
in two.
For reals?
I certainly,
well,
wow.
Apparently not.
So if I'm not committed,
I'll stick with four.
Okay, good call.
Jonah?
Name that movie.
I'll give you all four names.
Wait, I thought I just had to pick a name.
They didn't explain this part.
I was prepared to give you a name, one of the cast members' names.
Oh, that's interesting.
That's a totally different game.
Kurt Russell.
No.
No, I named for you all four of these names.
Great.
And then if you can tell me the name of the movie.
Okay, go for it.
Then you'll win a point.
If you don't, then Jonah gets a point.
Why does Jonah get the point?
Because he just challenged you.
Oh, all right.
Yeah.
And getting all the names should make it easy, but this is from 1967, and it's a kiddie movie.
Go for it, man.
Here we go.
Go for it.
Go for it.
Ethel Ennis, Gable Garnett, Boris Karloff, and Phyllis Diller.
The top billed person in this movie from 1967
is Phyllis Diller.
You would think that would make it easy
with the Phyllis Diller part.
Ably supported by Boris Karloff.
I think if you'd seen this movie,
then you would know the answer
for Phyllis Diller for sure.
I'm not going to take up any of your time, man.
I'm just going to bow out right now.
I'm just moving on.
Please hurry.
Yeah, this was a tough one.
Do you think, Jonah, do you have any idea?
No.
It was something I liked when I was a kid, and it's got the Invisible Man in it
because it's about all the famous monsters getting together and having a party,
and it's called Mad Monster Party.
Oh.
Yeah, and it's a kiddie movie
where Phyllis Diller was like the,
she was the bride of Frankenstein in it,
and very funny, actually,
and it's got good songs, too.
But it's very slowly paced by today's standards,
so don't watch it because I said it.
And Jonah Ray's on the board with one point.
Bam!
Bam!
Strategy! I said it. And Jonah Ray's on the board with one point. Bam! Strategy.
Michael gets to pick the next
category, and then we'll go to
Jonah, so Brett, this might not even
get to you, but
listen up anyway. No.
Not unless it gets to you.
It just so happens. The order switches
each time, so the different dynamic
will hopefully occur.
I have a feeling Joe's just going to sit in the middle
going, name it, name it, name it.
It's what I do every fucking time I'm on the show.
And I win sometimes.
Okay, your category options,
Gene, Michael, are...
I think you might find this really weird, what's about to happen.
588-2300.
Empire.
Oh, you know it.
Michael's saying it louder than anybody.
So you've had a lot more TV here than I thought you'd watched.
And that, of course, is actors from the TV show Empire.
Of course.
In film.
And then Mount Cushmore is the four people
that I most want to smoke weed with and actually have.
The films of Snoop Dogg, Willie Nelson, Cheech, or Chong.
And then your third
option, Jay Boogie Down
suggested The Toxic Avenger.
And that's Robert Downey Jr.
movies that
Leonard gave two stars or less.
Because he's the toxic Avenger.
Which one of those
do you like?
I'm going to go with
the Robert Downey Jr.
Okay.
This movie's got Robert Downey Jr. in it.
It's from 2009.
Two stars from Leonard.
He calls this movie
murky,
noisy,
and he says the CGI effects
the overuse of CGI effects is deadening.
Yeah, it really, really hurt Leonard to have to watch it.
My words, not his.
But he did say that the CGI effects are deadening.
And then he lists two, three, four, five, seven names.
How many names do you think you can get it in?
MS, and I won't call you that again.
That's horrible disease.
How many names did he list?
Seven.
I will name that movie in three.
So it is going to be what I predicted, Jonah.
Hold on.
2009, you say?
Mm-hmm.
Oh, name the movie.
Okay, here's your three names.
James Fox, Kelly Riley, Eddie Marzan.
Sherlock Holmes.
That's correct.
Fuck!
I would have gotten that.
I would have said Iron Man 2.
I would have said Iron Man 2.
Is Robert Downey Jr. doing a good accent in those Sherlock Holmes movies?
Jonah.
You know what?
I think it's tip top.
He really nails it.
He really does.
He puts it right across the plate.
He sounds like
Chaplin, he does.
Because how are we to know?
I just can't concentrate
when I'm watching him do it
because it's like
Robert Downey Jr.
doing an act.
His fame sort of
eclipsed his ability
to disappear in a character,
I think.
But then I saw The Judge and I changed my mind.
That character's nothing like Tony Stark.
Or the guy from Due Date.
So, um...
One of his classic characters.
So, yeah, Michael's got a point,
and Jonah's got a point,
and we're gonna start with you again there, Brett,
and then go to Jonah.
We'll see what happens.
Your first option is my wife,
and that, of course, is films of Sacha Baron Cohen.
People keep writing me on Twitter saying,
you should make that the films of his wife.
And it's like, we did that already.
I want to do his films
and I also like yelling my wife.
And your other
options are, you're
in this, a movie that someone in this panel
is in.
Or
probably me.
Mama is walking in.
So embarrassing
You'll see Michael
Or
Fast Batch Cumberbender
And that's the films of Michael
Fast Bender and Benedict Cumberbatch Cumberbender. And that's the films of Michael Fastbender and Benedict Cumberbatch.
There's a guy on the East Coast time zone enjoying Fastbatch Cumberbender.
It's Benedict and Michael are sitting at the back.
We all stick together.
Doug, can you repeat the first one for me, please?
Can I repeat it? Oh, it's Sacha Baron Cohen movies. Yeah, can you repeat the first one for me, please? Can I repeat it?
Oh, it's Sacha Baron Cohen movies.
Yeah, I'll do that one.
Okay.
This one is from 2006.
Leonard lists three people.
He gives it three and a half stars.
And he says about the film that it's one of a kind,
and that it also has elements of racism, sexism, and homophobia.
Now, Brett, if you think you know what this movie is,
you could bid as low as zero names.
You could say zero names,
and then you would just have to name it if challenged.
Or you could say negative names, which then you would just have to name it if challenged. Or you could say negative names,
which means you could bid like negative one,
you'd name the movie and the top billed person.
Or negative two, you'd have to name the top two billed people.
Let me ask you something, Doug.
Please.
Is there a response in which he gets a negative point?
Hey.
Is there any way we can take Jonah's points away?
I mean, I could just do it arbitrarily.
I consider myself the opposite of Chris Hardwick.
So I'm going to have a show where I take away points!
We will just go for it on that one.
Whatever that...
You want to say zero names?
You don't say the name yet, though.
Oh.
I don't say the name.
All right, I'm going to go no names.
Okay, he says no names, Jonah.
I can do it in negative one names.
Now, hold on a second.
But isn't that Sacha Baron Cohen?
A negative of a negative is still negative.
What?
What?
Now, Michael, I've got gotta remind you that
it's important to say the correct title.
Now everybody gets why I've been pushing this category.
Fuck.
That's bullshit.
And name that movie.
All right, Jonah.
We're going to need the full title
and the name of the top-billed person.
Cool.
I will give you the title as I've seen it
on DirecTV's Guide.
The movie title is
Borat. It doesn't say anything
after that, and the lead
person in it is Sacha Baron Cohen.
But let's say you're
on a game show,
and you had to say the full
title in order to win.
Then what would your answer
be?
Well, are we in that
situation?
Let's pretend
we are.
I'm not good at improv.
I don't know if I can. Let's just go with my
answer and then move on.
Give me the old point.
Do you not even want to try?
The Borat.
The extraterrestrial.
It's...
It's...
An adventure in...
What is it?
In...
And his or in his.
It's like there's lots of versions of it.
Yeah, it's a...
And I've given up on thinking that that's the title.
Yeah.
It's Borat and the, uh...
But this one, Leonard laid it all out.
And it's hilarious to me.
Oh, fuck.
Because I knew this is what would happen.
I'm not going to get it.
It's like someone would get cornered
Let me give you one of the words
Of
You got your wish you piece of shit
Yeah you piece of shit.
Poor rat.
The sons make Kazakhstan a more better country.
No.
It's called...
Wait, you challenged him, right?
Yeah.
So Michael's our winner, everybody.
Yeah.
It was a tough game.
I threw a tough game at you guys.
I still got some tough ones in here.
Of course, Sasha Baron Cohen was top billed,
followed by Ken Davidian and Pamela Anderson.
And the movie's called Borat,
Cultural Learnings of America
for Make Benefit, Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
yeah yeah
but there's some people out there that know that whole title
does anyone know it off the top of their head?
yeah there was somebody
pretty close isn't good enough when you're in a game show
and you have to know the whole title
have you seen the gift bag
that's available?
yeah you already are one of the hearts and minds
of the entire audience.
I'm just a kid from Highland Park
trying to make a go at it
in this crazy business.
I talk a big game like I'm more famous
and better than you, but I'm not.
I'm Chris Hardwick's friend.
Weren't you in Mama's Boy?
Oh my god.
Always nice to meet a fan.
Leonard gives Mama's Boy
one and a half stars.
He says it's an
irredeemably clumsy comedy.
Clunky, I'm sorry.
Clunky.
And then comedy
is in quotes.
The last line of the review
is barely released
and for good reason.
Redeemed only
by the performance
of Jonah Ray.
Can I see that?
Screen grab it. Send it to me.
I'll put it on Instagram.
Did you ever watch Mama's Boy?
No.
I knew it was bad when I was there.
But it's got an incredible cast.
It does.
Yeah.
Diane Keaton, Jeff Daniels, Anna Faris.
Yeah.
Those are all great people.
Eli Wallach.
Simon Helper.
Is he alive still?
We don't need no stinking badges.
Wow.
Mary Kay Place, Sarah Chalk, and Laura Keitlinger's in it.
Yes.
All right.
I'll watch that.
Trying to watch 365 movies this year, so I'll try to get that one in.
Put it in my queue.
You can go to Amoeba and get it for 50 cents.
Really?
Literally 50.
Curtis Jackson will sell it to me?
Yeah.
Michael?
Or you could win the bag and just watch Frost Nixon and the Queen and Tron.
That is an amazing triple bill.
It really takes you through time.
A lot of history in there.
Apparently 400 million people are waiting for it.
Or the world, as Jonah likes to call it.
Alright, Allison, come get
your bags and bags of stuff.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.
Now if you need a poster to for the Bruce Gutter poster
I can get one of those in the back
you gotta keep in a good condition
I thought we'd keep the poster separate
because you don't want to dent it
even though Jonah already has a little bit
No, it was just on a wall
Oh really? You pulled it off of a wall?
Yeah, I'm real strong.
What's gonna replace it?
I don't care.
Just wall.
Just a piece of wall.
Masters of Sex
is back July 12th. Sex is back July 12th.
It is back July 12th.
I remember that from the top of the show.
The Night Before is
Seven Days in Hell on HBO.
Which is...
Oh, that's the tennis thing with Andy Samberg.
Kit Harington and you.
No, I'm just saying that's on The Night Before.
No, I'm in that.
And also I think Spoils Before D's on the night before. No, I'm in that. And also, I think,
Spoils Before Dying on the Independent Film Channel.
Which is a follow-up to Spoils of Babylon.
That's correct.
And Far From the Madding Crowd, the movie.
It's in theaters, yes.
And people are loving it.
Not you, apparently.
I'll see it.
Okay. I promise see it. Okay.
I promise.
Okay, tomorrow night, 8.30.
See you at the ArcLight.
Would you really go watch it again?
Yeah. I'm in it.
Guaranteed a good time.
I'll tell you, the fucking place to see
Kurt Cobain montage of heck was the Arclight
they cranked it
it was so exciting
great experience there
it's going to be returning August 7th
perfect
you heard it here first Doug
people in the hotel room next to me hate my guts when I'm on the road and it's on HBO
because I'll just turn it up real loud and just enjoy it.
Anything else to plug, Brett?
No, but we're going back in the theaters nationwide August 7th.
I'm sure everyone was kind of surprised by how many people wanted to see it
and then it was right before all the big summer blockbusters and shit.
So, like, it's great that it's coming back and people can see it that way.
You know what?
It was intended to be seen in a movie theater.
And Universal Pictures took it out everywhere else outside the U.S.
But we did a deal with HBO in the States.
But the response when we opened it here was so great that we decided to put it back in theaters
so people can sort of experience it loud
and the way it's supposed to be.
Yeah, with other people,
and probably a good chance they're a little high.
Jonah Ray, The Meltdown returns to Comedy Central.

Just mere days before
the season three premiere of Ray Donovan

Meltdown with Kumail and Jonah.
Jonah and Kumail.
Really?
Yeah, yeah.
How'd you swing that?
I get paid half as much.
Just to put my name first.
Just to have first?
Was it alphabetical?
Was that the argument, ultimately?
No, I don't know.
It was Emily Gordon, the producer, she just kind of, when Was that the argument, ultimately? I don't know. It was Emily Gordon, the producer.
She just kind of, when she made the title,
she just said, oh, it should just be with Jonah Kamel.
And I think it's just because Jonah Kamel's JK.
Just kidding.
Yeah.
That just says comedy right there.
It does.
Yeah.
Subliminally.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Okay.
I like it.

to do it.
But do you know anybody

Nah.
