Doug hates candy wrappers, skinny babies, sticky seats with 50-yes and five more kernels in his teeth.
They're still not warm, then he won't sleep, cause Doug loves movies!
Hey, hey, hey everybody! My name is Doug and I love movies!
This is Doug Loves Movies! Somebody threw in an movies. This is Doug Loves Movies.
Somebody threw in an and this is Doug Loves
Movies. That was adorable.
Coming to you from the UCB Theater on
Tuesday, November 25th.
2014 Wolf.
You know the rest.
Sadly, due to
an unexpected power surge,
the Doug Loves Movies we
tried to tape in Tampa, Florida.
In Tampa, Florida.
Last Saturday has big
chunks of the audio missing.
Halfway through each game
it skips partway into the next
game. And I
will try to put together a version of it
to post on Doug Loves Minis
soon. And don't worry
Tampa, I won't hold that against you.
I will definitely be back and we'll just
make sure we have more backup
for the recordings.
Because everybody else was kind of like,
yeah, Florida has a lot of power
searches.
Like, okay.
I guess because it's hot all the time,
so the air conditioning is always on too hard.
I'll be back in Florida
on Thursday December 4th
at the Comedy Club
yeah that's right it's called the Comedy Club
in Jacksonville
and Los Angeles
you guys hear
the 12 Guests of Christmas West Coast Edition
will be on Tuesday December 16th
at 8 o'clock
I've been getting a lot of questions about it on Twitter.
And tickets are on sale soon.
UCB generally...
Hey, how's it going?
Usually they put tickets on sale
about 20 days in advance of a show.
So count it down.
December 16th, 20 days.
I think we're right in the ballpark right now.
So look for it at UCcbtheater.com.
And it's going to be awesome.
It's going to be like a two-hour extravaganza.
Prize bag is a little meager at this point because this is kind of exciting.
How was traffic getting over here tonight, you guys?
It was terrible, right?
That's what I've been hearing.
I always come over to the neighborhood
like a few hours early just to be safe,
and so I didn't experience any bad traffic,
but I guess it's really bad right now.
So two of the guests, one of whom,
every time he's on the show,
skates in at the last possible moment,
so I'm not that surprised that he's not here. Oh, one of them every time he's on the show skates in at the last possible moment so I'm not that surprised that he's not here
but uh oh one of them's here
uh
that's good the longer I
complain about it the more I mean it's not
you know people the traffic's
bad sometimes so uh
we'll uh we'll suffer through with
only three out of the four guests but
uh I brought
a copy of Gateway Doug 2, Forced Fun,
and some interesting items.
I got it last night.
It's Getting Doug with High taping here in Los Angeles.
Tommy Chong has a new product that he's promoting
called the Smoke Swipe,
and it's like a little individual towelette
that you can use ten or more times
to wipe the smoke smell off of your hair and
clothes i haven't tried it yet so i can't vouch for it uh but it sounds sounds like it should work
and then something else that sounds like it probably shouldn't work at all is marijuana.
Like, I guess it's medicated lubricant.
And it's called highgasm.
And there's a couple of flavors here I put in the bag.
And, of course, my favorite of those being coco nut.
I don't know about that
at all.
And I got something else
in the bag
that I'm going to reveal
in a second
after I bring the person
out here that brought it.
Please give a big
warm welcome, you guys,
to Milana Weintraub,
Paul Scheer,
Baron Vaughn,
and Mr. Leonard Maltin.
I was right.
That motherfucker Paul Scheer always shows up at the last possible minute.
And when traffic's bad on a night like tonight,
who knows when he's going to get here.
If he shows up at all, yeah.
That's Milana, everybody.
Hi.
Had to ask her
backstage, how do you pronounce Weintraub?
And she's like, like that.
And I said it wrong the first time.
And you may know her,
and you definitely know her, as
Lily in the AT&T
commercials.
With James Van Der Beek and
uh... She's got all the gestures down and everything
and she's the first time guest on the show thanks for being here my pleasure
i figured out how to track you down stalk you however you want to describe it because uh they
were going off about you on the kevin Bean radio show here in Los Angeles one day.
Yeah.
Ralph Garman was talking about his big crush that he has on you.
Yeah.
What a loser.
Yeah.
And he said your name, though, so I was able to look you up.
And you were already following me on Twitter.
I was like, bam!
I know.
So I was able to write to you and ask you to do this. So that's exciting when those kind of connections can happen.
It was easy because I already loved movies.
There you go.
Yeah.
And that's why everybody loves me, because of their love of movies.
I just glommed onto it.
And weed and food.
But speaking of movies, the co-host of a brand new podcast that I'm very excited about,
weekly podcast entirely about movies.
These two gentlemen discussing them.
Do you guys argue much?
Not a lot. Not yet, but I want to get more
into that.
That's Baron Vaughn and Leonard Maltin, you guys.
All right.
And the show is called
Maltin on Movies. With Baron Vaughn.
With Baron Vaughn. With Baron Vaughn.
Hey, thanks, Leonard.
Apologies.
Full billing, that's all.
Is that,
I looked at the iTunes,
is the graphic on iTunes,
does it say with Baron Vaughn?
Yes, in the smallest possible.
Right?
It's illegible.
You don't even notice it.
But I have seen it
in other places
written out that way.
So just get them
to fix up the logo
and you'll be good to go.
All right. And it's comedian Baron Vaughn and noted film critic in other places written out that way. So just get them to fix up the logo and you'll be good to go.
And it's comedian Baron Vaughn and noted film critic Leonard Maltin
just sitting down and discussing
a different genre of film every time.
Yeah, well, the first thing I said,
Paul Scheer is the one who brought all this together.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The guy who's late.
The late Paul Scheer.
Oh, no. What a terrible way to find out
I didn't mean to be the bearer of bad tidings
yeah it's weird that you would hold that out
until now
he brought this together for a new slate
of podcasts he's been producing
for Earwolf that are now called Wolf Pop
yeah he's a curator
of 13 new shows about pop culture.
I was excited to ask him all about it.
And just hang on and maybe it'll come true.
Maybe your wish will be granted.
Your boss is late is what's happening right now.
I understand that.
Anyway, he invited us to get to know each other
and see if we would connect and we did.
What did you guys do?
You go on a couple of dates,
couple of lunches.
Yeah,
I,
I,
I did.
I took him on the,
I took him to the carnival.
Yeah.
Um,
remember the dating game,
you know,
and they did,
there'd be a whole ritualistic thing.
We did none of that.
The water rifle,
the water rifle at the horses and got the biggest teddy bear of all.
That's right.
And then he's like,
I think we have a podcast here.
That's right.
That should be,
you really should.
I know it's an audio
podcast, but that'd be a fun opening for
the show. It's the two of you doing fun
romantic comedy
things together. Like a typical
romantic comedy montage. That would be lovely.
That'd be lovely.
For the inevitable telecast.
The inevitable TV version, right?
Who wouldn't want to see you guys sitting there talking
about film? Not me.
Because I know what I look like.
And I'm like,
I'm bored with that guy already.
But anybody else?
But what we decided to do...
I'm new to what you look like
and it's not bad.
Hey!
There you are.
Okay.
Just ruined it with that expression.
Dude, Sheikengay
is such a great calling plan.
They're having
people wearing
hats special
right now.
Hey,
you into data?
Depends on how
many gigs.
Yeah.
I'm not that
into the next
generation,
to be honest.
So... So what we're doing
is instead of reviewing
new movies,
we take a new movie
in theaters
like we did
to The Theory of Everything
as our trigger
for the first
Broadway podcast.
Oh, so then the rest
of the conversation
is the,
oh, I was going to say
wheelchairs.
No, no.
I thought you were
going to do a whole show
about wheelchair movies.
Excellent try.
What else do we got?
My Left Foot.
No, no, no.
We did three.
Born on the Fourth of July.
One that we really like.
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
Oh, my God.
Was he ever in a wheelchair?
Yeah, he was rolled around.
They pushed him around while he was locked in.
That movie.
Remember that movie, Leonard?
Which one?
The Bell and the Butterfly.
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly?
Yeah, yeah.
Sorry.
It's a fantastic movie.
So good.
It's a beautiful movie.
But also, it's like the number one thing I'm afraid of getting is locked-in disease,
where you're just laying there and all you got is your eyes, because mine are already shot.
So it would be terrible.
But maybe they would make a movie about you.
And that would sort of redeem the whole thing.
That would make it all worthwhile.
That's what Lou Gehrig sang in heaven.
That's right.
They get some wonderful French actor to play you.
I think Daniel Day. Daniel Day could do a good job.
That's right. He could.
So what was the...
We're going to give an example.
One really good biopic, which we chose as Capote.
I'm sure.
One really bad biopic, Jay Edgar.
Oh, yeah.
With Leonardo DiCaprio.
And one sleeper biopic, which was The Runaways,
with Kirsten Dunst as Joan Jett.
Super sleeper.
I didn't even get around to it.
No one did, but it's a really good movie.
I saw it.
Okay.
You like it?
No.
Well, Leonard and I did, but it's a really good movie. I saw it. You like it? No. Well, Leonard and I did, so we talked about it.
We talked about it.
Well, so it sounds like you really have quite a game plan.
It's not just like just going off, talking about whatever.
I mean, you can go on tangents, but you really...
Well, he has the structure, and I have all the tangents.
There you go.
Yeah.
I go off on all the sorts of whatevers, whereas he stays on the structures.
And it seems to work out.
But you have to discuss ahead of time the movies you're going to talk about to make sure you've both seen them.
That is correct.
Because on my show, I love it when we all just talk about movies we haven't even seen.
Just because, you know.
Perfect.
I'm in the right place.
We're going more for the comedy.
Kind of like the Hollywood Film Awards where they give awards to films that haven't opened yet.
Oh, my God, Leonard.
When I saw that show, I was sitting in a hotel room.
I changed my plans for the night.
I was like, what the hell is this Hollywood Film Awards thing that I'd never heard of?
Apparently it's the 20th annual or something, but it used to just be an announcement.
It wasn't ever a TV show.
It's been happening as a real life event, which I had the misfortune of attending a couple of years ago.
Almost like a private event.
Yeah.
Like all the big stars go though.
Unbelievable.
Because it kickstarts your Oscar campaign.
I walk, that's what they keep saying.
Except that it's a fraud.
The year of the social network.
My daughter and I went.
Mary Hart had been hosting it and I worked with her for many years on Entertainment Tonight.
And my boss.
Just sitting with her, you never got any seizures, did you?
No.
Okay.
No, it's an old joke.
There was a woman who had some sort of dental disturbance because her teeth were picking up Mary Hart's voice
and causing her to have spasms.
This is an actual true story.
But no one cares anymore.
Anyway...
I really thought you'd gone back to what we were talking about.
No, no, no.
I was like, wow, we're still talking about Mary Hart.
No, no, no.
Anyway, so I got to attend this thing to present this award to her.
And my daughter came along. We walked into the lobby of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. As. No, no, no, no. Anyway, so I got to attend this thing to present this award to her. And my daughter came along.
We walked into the lobby of the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
As I say, it was the Social Network and some other big films.
And they were all there.
Everybody was there.
It was a sea of A-listers.
Unbelievable.
They gave Jennifer Lawrence their newcomer award that year.
Who gave it?
Jodie Foster.
They gave Stallone an award for doing The Expendables.
Who gave it to him?
Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Very good guess.
Excellent guess.
Would have been a more interesting presentation,
you have to admit.
But then it finally got on TV,
but Queen Latifah came out
and stumbled through some remarks,
and then the show was off and running,
just giving awards to movies
that aren't even out yet.
That's correct.
And no one has seen.
And each time they play a package
that feels like a trailer
and then the person would come out
and they've already won an award
for something nobody's even heard of.
It's really weird.
What show was it on?
You actually got it then.
CBS was a big CBS deal.
I want to guess CBS.
But in spite of all that,
you understood exactly what it was.
See, you got the whole point of it,
which is that it's trailers
promoting movies that aren't out yet,
and they pretend they're awards.
Yeah, yeah.
Birdman, that's cool,
because that's out.
But most of them were like,
and also Michael Keaton's so great.
He's so cool.
He went on that fucking thing
and is just chomping away on his gum
during his entire acceptance speech.
That guy's a cool dude.
I am so pro anyone who chews gum into a microphone.
Have you been to the movies lately, Milana?
Do you go to the movies?
What'd you bring for the prize bag first of all?
Oh, I brought this really cool calendar
for 2015
Scientific American
Space Views
from Hubble Telescope.
That sounds really great.
It's really cool.
I don't know
what's oohing or aahing.
Just pass it over.
I'll put it in the bag.
Okay.
And have you been
to the movies lately?
Have you seen anything
in theaters or otherwise?
Yeah, I saw Birdman recently.
Did you guys already talk about that last week?
It's not interesting anymore.
No, we don't go into too much detail on these things,
but I'm kind of weirdly,
I don't know how to feel about Birdman.
I kind of want to see it again.
Did it make you sad?
I don't know what it made me.
I just sort of watched it.
I'm not sure what just happened in that what it made me. I just sort of watched it. Not sure I know what just happened
in that movie or to me.
When it was over,
did you feel like it was long
or it was short?
It wasn't boring.
It certainly wasn't boring.
But I don't know.
That's what we in the critic trade
call a money quote.
It wasn't boring.
Doug Benson.
That's right.
Birdman see it, kind of.
Did you like it?
Did you like it, Milana?
Yeah, I really liked it.
I thought it was awesome.
I thought the performances were stellar
and the story was...
I thought the moments were...
It was hilarious.
I just wouldn't be surprised
if some people were taken aback
by the fact that you see the trailer
and you hear what it's about
and then you spend a lot of time just in the nuts and bolts of how a play on Broadway works.
I don't think going into it, people expect to spend that much time in the St. James Theater.
I didn't see the trailer before I watched it, so maybe that saved me.
Yeah.
But also, I didn't feel like it was about the play.
I felt like it was about Mike Keaton's character
and what it is
to be an aging artist
I gotta see it again
the seats were really comfortable when I saw it
it's already very dreamlike
so I think maybe I might have filled in
some parts on my own
that's exactly what ruined Judge Dredd for me
like that last one
which Judge Dredd?
the last one.
The one with Olivia Thirlby.
Oh, you like her?
Yeah.
Because that's weird to point her.
Yeah, right?
Because I was like, who's the other guy?
The Australian guy.
The Australian McAmerica.
But that's like 80 different actors right now.
Carl Urban.
Carl Urban, that's his name.
Yeah, yeah.
I liked him in that movie.
I liked her in that movie.
I liked that movie. Yeah. Yeah. But it name. I liked him in that movie. I liked her in that movie. I liked that movie.
Yeah.
But it was just called Dread, though.
Was it just called Dread? The Stallone one was Judge Dread.
Yes, now that I did not see
in the theater, and I'm lying.
Totally saw it in the theater.
Did I see Tank Girl in the theater? Not gonna
answer.
You were suddenly being interrogated by no one.
Doug, stop asking me not these questions.
Is that what your show's like every week?
He just denies everything?
You'll just have to tune in and find out.
They don't say tune in for a podcast, do they?
I think they say download, listen to it, download it,
check it out.
Here it is.
There it goes.
Another one's coming.
Yeah, but it doesn't go anywhere. That's the great thing.
I love the archived
aspect of shows.
Because people can just be like,
I wonder what those guys think about
movies with wheelchairs, and then go back
and find this week's show.
Can you give us a tease of what next week's show is going to be?
If I remember which one it is.
What were we talking about?
We were talking about holiday movies?
No, not yet.
No?
We're actually recording them a little bit ahead.
Oh, okay.
So we're mildly confused.
We just did one about animation.
Yeah.
The next one that's going to drop, we're taping this. We just did one about animation. Yeah. No, the next one that's going to drop,
we're taping this.
Going to drop.
I was waiting for you to react.
I'm like, does he normally speak like that?
I like to say plop.
Doug prefers plop.
He almost said plop.
Doug prefers plop,
which is my way of saying it.
The podcast drops.
It's about breakthrough performances.
Discs drop.
What?
Breakthrough performances.
Oh.
And based on Jennifer Lawrence
being in the hot new Hunger Games movie.
And she's somebody who actually became a star
with a single performance,
which was Winter's Bone.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, who didn't want to make love to that girl after she skinned
that squirrel?
But she was really good
in that movie and really
put her on the map. Best actress nomination
right out of the gate. That's right. Absolutely.
Do you know where she came from, though?
Like Detroit?
No, I mean, like...
Because I looked this up. I don't want to ruin it because you should
totally, you know, listen to the podcast or whatever term we decided on.
But she was on a sitcom.
And a lot of people don't know this.
She was on the Bill Ingvall show.
Does anybody know who Bill Ingvall is?
Was she like his daughter?
She was his daughter.
Oh, wow.
For, I think, three seasons.
It lasted that long?
Yeah.
Or was it on TBS?
I don't remember exactly what channel it was on.
It was on somewhere where that could last that long.
Which I want to say is CMT, but I don't know.
I like Bill Ingvall, but it was a very straightforward sitcom.
It was.
And if you go to the IMDb, they list her in the credits.
But any picture, she's not tagged on any picture on IMDb. I wonder
why he said.
Conspiracy.
She's only
had a classy career.
You ask yourself questions you don't answer
and then say he said after things you just said.
You're very
observant. It's called third
worst person.
That's how I narrate my story.
Have you been to the movies?
Do you feel like you have to see more movies
now that you're in cahoots with Leonard?
Yes, yes.
I'm telling you, every time you get cahooted with Leonard,
you have to end up seeing many movies.
I've been watching a lot of things on television,
like Netflix and Amazon Instant.
What was the last thing you saw,
if you can remember in that way?
Oh, I'm going to proselytize.
It's an animated film called
A Town Called Panic that Leonard
had recommended. I never saw it.
It's a Belgian film that's in French.
All right, let's move on.
But Doug, you will love it.
I'm telling you.
This is so your sense of humor.
Five seconds you'd be like,
this is the best thing I've ever seen.
You'd start singing for no reason.
How did you see it?
On Amazon.
Amazon's got it.
And what's it called again?
A town called Panic.
Who's behind it, Leonard?
Are they known for other things?
It won the audience award
at Fantastic Fest several years ago.
Oh, a few years ago?
Yeah.
Well, of course, we both love Fantastic Fest.
I was just telling somebody the other day that I had to
chug a beer on behalf of Leonard Maltin
because he didn't want to chug a beer.
And I was terrible at it.
The year before, they let me
smoke a bong on behalf of somebody
and that was fine.
Alright, so Town Called Panic.
Check it out on Amazon.
Yep, it's wild.
It's about, it's stop motion animation,
and the three leading characters are a plastic cowboy toy,
a plastic Indian, and a plastic horse.
And their names are cowboy.
No, no, sorry.
Their names are, wait for it. Their names are cowboy their names are
cowboy, Indian
and horse
it's very funny
very very funny
you'll just have to take my word
for it until you see it for yourself
and when you see it for yourself
you will thank me sir
if you laugh at the words cowboy
Indian or horse,
this is the film for you.
You're going to be grateful.
Hey, horse, what's up?
Nothing, cowboy.
That's basically, yeah.
Just hanging out with the Indian.
Yeah.
All right.
Leonard, we're going to play the Leonard Maltin game here in a second,
but I just have to ask you briefly.
Are people at Leonard Maltin game here in a second, but I just have to ask you briefly. Are people at Leonard Maltin HQ,
is the whole team working to try to get a new app going
so that a couple years from now I'm not playing a game
where all the movies are from four or five years or later?
You know what I mean?
Like, I'm still using your app that's dead.
Yes, I know.
But when's the new app going to rise from the ashes?
I wish I had a good answer for you.
I don't have a good answer for you.
This feels like a showdown right now.
Unfortunately.
I'm just hopeful.
I know.
People will have to, for the time being,
go to the old-fashioned resource of a book,
a paperback book.
And the 2015 edition of my movie guide is available.
It's right here. We're giving one away tonight.
We are. And this is
how me and Brian Poussey
and Leonard Maltin used to play the game. We'd go like that
and someone would go, stop.
And then go like that. Stop.
The year
is 1998.
Oh, shit.
No, you gotta...
He's gonna stop at Walgreens on the way home
and get his reading glasses.
This movie is based on...
I've got it in my pocket, but I can do it.
But man, the print is small on this thing.
But I was saying, oh shit,
because I picked a movie I've heard of,
but there's no way anybody's gonna get it.
It's based on a vintage novel
called Just Another Sucker
by James Hadley Chase.
That's a really spot on clue and you have no idea, do you, Lenny?
No.
Yeah, yeah.
Two and a half stars from you.
And maybe this will help.
It's German and it was directed by Volker Schlondorf.
Oh, Schlondorf. Yeah,orf. Oh, Schlondorf.
Yeah, Schlondorf.
Who's got a great new movie out called Diplomacy.
Really?
Yeah.
But you don't remember a film he made called Palmetto?
No, I don't.
Yeah.
Elizabeth Shue and Woody Harrelson.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Anyway, that's how we used to play the game.
Two.
That's how we used to play the game.
And people would, that's's the thing is we would do
terribly at it because when you do that
you know 1956 you know
like and then the description you know
it was just hard to play that way and when the app
came along and I could you know
put it into categories
and make it very very specific
like that I really appreciate
that and thank you for announcing
that you are going to get a new one soon.
Anything for you, Doug.
You know that.
Yeah, and thank you for putting
the last ever Leonard Maltin's Guide
in the good old traditional
gigantic paperback with tiny print form.
This is the very last one ever,
and it's in the prize bag.
Did we sign the one that's in the bag?
No, but I will.
Okay, let's do that.
And what were you going to say?
I was going to say,
it does come in a larger format as well.
Larger?
Yes.
What is it, a coffee table book?
Like the size of a coffee table?
A somewhat larger paperback book
for people who would like larger type.
Yeah.
It is true.
And we are working on a new edition
of my classic movie guide,
which will come out next year.
Right, you're going to keep doing those?
I hope so.
Okay.
We're doing one more for sure.
All right, go ahead and sign this one.
I like to write,
you're a winner,
but you can write whatever your thing is.
Oh, he's got his own special pen.
Cool, and I'll sign the Hubble calendar.
Oh, yeah.
You are related to the Hubbles, right?
I am one of the astronauts.
There you go. Give that a sign-a-roo.
And then as soon as Leonard's
done with that...
But I don't have anything to sign.
And that's your own fucking fault.
Did you...
Did you bring something for the prize bag?
That was like one second therapy right there.
Do you guys think Paul Scheer
even knows that he's supposed to be here?
I don't. Like he might not have
remembered. I bet he does not
know. And I don't think I
can't remember the last time I texted or tweeted
him about it so maybe
I didn't remind him and that's why he's not here.
But if he was here
he wouldn't shut up about his new
network that he started and
how great all this shit...
What?
Okay.
Do you want to sign this too?
I capitulate to all audience demands.
Take off your shirt!
No.
Because at this point I'm thinking that
if he responds
you know like
it's going to be
he's not on his way
and I don't want to
drag him down here
because the show's
only got 17 minutes
left anyway
and my three guests
are delightful
I just wanted him
to come down
and promote his new network
I thought I was
putting together
a pretty tight
yeah I thought
I put together a tight theme show.
You want Paul Scheer to come down here and promote Wolf Pop?
Wolf Pop, a new network?
It's not the same coming from you.
You've got to hear it from Paul Scheer.
I was trying to do the Little Shop of Horrors guy
who's like, hey, that's an interesting plant.
Except about Wolf Pop.
Three people get me.
Everybody else is my family.
It's going to be a great Thanksgiving.
I'm excited about Thanksgiving.
I'm going to see the horrible penguins of Madagascar.
Why?
Is that the title?
No.
I tried to mash up horrible bosses and penguins of Madagascar.
It didn't come out very good.
No, I mean, I think those Madagascar penguins,
they look pretty cute.
The trailer's funny,
but I don't think I'm going to sit through the whole movie
until it's on a plane when I can sleep.
Horrible Bosses 2.
I enjoyed the Horrible Bosses 1,
as it will be known from now on.
I really did.
I thought those guys had a good chemistry.
Charlie Day just makes me laugh.
I enjoy him very much.
So I'll go see that.
I don't expect it's going to be great.
I saw The Diving Bell and the Butterfly on a plane.
Do you ever watch a sad movie on a plane?
I think so.
You cry so much more.
What?
That's probably where I saw The Notebook.
I mean, I'm more likely to see a sad movie on a plane
because it's like, well, that's the movie they're showing,
so I'm going to watch it
because I don't really seek out sad movies that much.
But what happens on a plane?
Something about the pressure just makes you cry a lot more.
Does anyone else experience that?
Yeah, like it just like pushes the tears out of your eyes harder.
Well, it is sensory deprivation.
I mean, you're sitting in a small seat in the dark,
in silent, looking at a small screen,
and then you just start
shaking.
All of the feelings.
The audience is going to hear this.
This physical gag I'm doing.
You hear that audience?
It's gold. I was sitting next to
two little girls.
It's fine.
They looked at me terrified. Their mom was sitting
behind me passing me tissues. What time of the day was it? I don't know. We were on a plane. It'm going to be fine. And they looked at me terrified. Their mom was sitting behind me passing me tissues.
What time of the day was it?
I don't know.
We were on a plane.
It could have been any time.
You'd fly up out of time
and hover around
in a very vague...
We were flying with the sun
the whole time,
the speed of the sun moving.
Well, there you go.
No.
I just accepted that, but I was like, oh.
Trust me, I'm an astronaut.
Do we have some awesome name tags in the house tonight?
I think we do.
I think we have some terrific options for you guys to choose from.
Everybody select a name tag, who you'd like to play for tonight
in an intense battle of the Leonard
Maltin game. And while you do that,
we'll do this. We'll be right back.
And we're back. Leonard,
who are you playing for over here?
I'm playing tonight
for Iron Sam. Alright.
That's cool.
And Baron,
who are you playing for?
Is it Demi or Demi?
Demi.
Unlike Moore.
Demi the movie.
Is that a play on anything?
Or did you just make an original...
Just an original...
Demi the movie.
Starring Doug Benson as man number one.
That ever was.
And Doug Benson as man number one, it says on there.
Don't read the shithead on the back,
because that's a consolation prize if they lose.
It's funny, I saw this and the reason I wanted it so bad
is because I thought it said jaw-ish, like Jewish.
It's just Josh.
Just Josh. Yeah. Just Josh.
Yeah.
All right.
Those are all three name tags that are pretty much the same size.
They're all faux posters.
Well chosen.
You're beautiful.
I'm just going to cross out Paul Scheer's name here on my sheet,
because he will not be eligible for any points in this game.
And we'll start with you, Leonard.
You know how great you are at this game.
Nowhere to go but up.
Then we'll go to Baron and then to
Milana. I haven't explained to Baron
that I am the world's worst player
of this game. Oh, I've heard.
I wouldn't say you're the worst.
At least you've seen movies.
And you are Leonard Maltin.
I've got a couple of friends
that just never go to movies.
Now Milana's passing out treats to the crowd.
Everybody gets a gummy.
A shark gummy.
A shark gummy.
Did you just say,
we'll share this one?
We just want a bite each.
Go ahead and enjoy that one,
Lady and the Tramp style.
This is the night
where two dogs
will kiss eating pasta.
Those are the lyrics, right?
See those dogs I just gave
a plate of pasta?
I don't know why I had to change the voice from...
I had to hold the microphone up from the left.
I got turned off by Baron doing the voice.
That's from Lady and the Tramp 2.0.
That's the version that I have not seen.
Oh, okay.
Your voice, that is.
You get to pick a category, Leonard,
between Voight or Wilson, scene. Oh, okay. Your voice. You get to pick a category, Leonard, between
Voight or Wilson,
and that's movies with John Voight or
a volleyball.
Or
Ethan Hawk Down,
and that's movies
where Ethan Hawk dies.
And it's kind of morbid that I've got all these death categories,
but this one's pretty sweet.
Paper.
Paper.
And that's films where Dwayne Johnson dies.
That's a great one.
Yes, take a moment.
Yeah, that's always the slow burn of the evening right there.
That's a slow jam.
I can't even laugh because I'm so seriously impressed.
So clever it takes the fun out of it.
Which one of those would you like, Leonard?
I'll do the first.
I'll do Voight or Wilson.
I think that's a great choice.
Okay.
Would you like a movie that has John Voight or a volleyball in it?
Not both, though, I don't think.
Okay.
From either 1997 or 2000?
I'll say 1997.
Okay.
This movie from 1997 was given two stars by you.
Mm-hmm.
You says about this movie...
that it was followed by a sequel
with a really funny long name,
and then you also said that...
It's a really funny, long name.
And then you also said that... The climax...
Oh, I see.
This movie takes place in an exotic setting,
but you said the climax of the film
looks like the deepest, darkest Arcadia.
Okay.
Pretty hilarious
reference, because then you
point out that in fact
this movie was shot in
the Arbor...
Arboretum? In Los Angeles
County, yes. Yeah, okay.
I may have said too much.
I may have tipped it
towards Leonard on this one.
No, you've tipped it in no way, shape, or form.
That's how bad he is at it.
It's such a specific review.
He's like, I don't know.
Ask Sam Levine about it.
That's right.
It's like when I was in high school,
and I was so bad at math,
and I placed into advanced math,
and our teacher let us do an open book take-home exam, and I still failed.
That's how I feel right now.
You wrote this question, and you don't know the answer.
Exactly so.
But you listed, to help yourself out, eight names.
So how many of those names would you like to hear?
I'd like to hear all eight, Doug.
He's taking all eight.
He's taking the full eight.
Baron, do you think
you can do it in less?
I think I can name that movie
in two names.
Oh, that's a really
big jump there.
Damn.
You're off the hook there, Leonard.
And we go to Milana
and she can
pound her head on the microphone like Charlie Brown
If Charlie Brown were on a panel show
You could probably
Show me the movie and I won't know
It's like Tom Cruise said.
Show me the movie.
Well, there's a good chance Baron might be a little extra cocky
for some strange reason.
I think I know what movie it is,
but then you're going to say those two names
and I'm going to realize that that's completely untrue.
Yeah, so can you name the movie?
Zoinks.
That's a very polite way of saying it.
Can you please, sir, gentlemen, name the movie?
Oh, well, sir and gentlemen, continue.
Your two names are
Vincent Castellanos
and Owen Wilson.
Can I hear the first name again, please?
Vincent Castellanos.
Country of origin on that name?
And this takes place in an exotic place,
but Leonard says it looks strangely like
deepest, darkest Arcadia.
But in fact, it's the Arboretum in L.A. County.
And it was followed by a sequel.
Two stars.
Night at the Museum?
Is that your guess?
Yeah.
Incorrect
Son of a motherless goat
Kari Werer was in this movie
Jonathan Hyde
Eric Stoltz
John Voight in the third position
Ice Cube and Jennifer Lopez
And it was called
My Anaconda Don't Want None
Anaconda you guys Come on Anaconda Fil't Want None. Anaconda, you guys.
Come on, Anaconda.
Anaconda.
Filmed at the Arboretum.
I'm handing you these answers.
One of my favorite John Voight performances.
Oh, he is amazingly hilariously over the top.
I think maybe even Leonard might mention that Voight's,
yeah, he's demonic snake poacher who speaks with a bad Brando-esque drawl and strangles human victims between his knees.
Is he supposed to be Cuban in that movie or something?
I don't know why he's supposed to be, man, but this is how he talks.
I will capture that.
I keep changing it.
I love that this guy
is giving us a hint
by going like this.
And I'm like,
rolling with the homies?
Someone is making
snake arm in the audience?
Oh, we got a snake arm.
Don't cheat, you guys.
Milano's on the board
with one point, everybody.
Oh, yes, she is.
So now, next time,
this time around, we get to go
with
Leonard gets to pick again.
Why's that? You'll see.
Okay.
Because you weren't involved in that final
showdown, so you get to start off again.
And I forgot John Voight in that movie, which is unforgivable.
Oh, right? Yeah, because he's so...
He's hilarious in it.
It's memorable. It's very funny. He gets...
You know, even giving this
away, it's still amazing to watch. He gets
eaten by the anaconda, and then when he
gets thrown up by the anaconda,
because the anaconda doesn't... Doesn't want
none? Doesn't like Cuban food or
whatever. When it spits
him up,
he turns and looks at the other characters in the movie and winks.
It's amazing.
All right, so Leonard gets to pick,
and then we'll go to Milana this time,
because we changed the order.
Miller Abe on Twitter suggested Hash Cab,
and that's movies where a vehicle is hotboxed.
Movies where a vehicle is hotboxed.
You know what hotboxing is, Leonard?
I do now.
Just out of context, you figured it out?
Consider the source.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh!
Zing!
You just got malted.
I like to call that a malteaser.
On movies with Baron Vaughn.
Or Hey Everybody.
That's movies that have a talking horse in them.
And Spoiler Alert.
And that's movies where someone gets hit by a car.
Which one of those do you like, Leonard?
You know which one I like. I don't think I know.
The Talking Horse. Oh, okay.
How many Talking Horse movies do you think there's been over the years?
Both of them.
Alright, well here we go. This one
is one of the two and it's from
1988.
You called it a bomb.
You said that, here's a fresh concept,
a comedy about a talking horse.
You pretty much say the only thing that's funny in this movie
is one of the character's teeth.
And then you list 11 names.
There are 10 names?
Yeah, 10 names.
How many can you get it in?
Apologies to put your hands together.
11 names you said?
10, I think.
10, 10.
Yeah, 10. I think 10 10, 10. Yeah, 10.
I think 10 would be good.
Okay.
Start off with 10.
You're strategic, if not knowledgeable.
1988, a long time ago.
Right?
Milana?
It's before my time, Doug.
Sure.
So... Sorry, does that make you upset?
Are you saying that you weren't alive yet?
I was barely alive.
That made me sadder than a girl
watching the diving bell and the butterfly on an airplane.
Yeah, sometimes trivia is old.
Yeah.
Trivia never sleeps, I think, is what... Yeah, that old expression. Yeah. Trivia never sleeps, I think, is what...
Yeah, that old expression.
Yeah.
I'll go for ten, too.
You have to say nine or name it.
Or even less than nine, but you gotta knock one off if you want to...
Oh.
If you don't want to challenge Leonard yet.
But if you challenge Leonard and he gets it, then you...
I'll challenge Leonard.
For reals?
I'm going to give him all ten names?
Yeah.
Okay.
Because I don't care.
Not completely invested in the game.
I think you finally made it to your time.
This is actually going to be quite exciting
because I think Leonard's going to know exactly what this movie
is, but he might not be able to
come up with the exact words that
it is called. And then I win!
You will win, yes.
And you'll bring us in on time, so
I'm really excited about this.
But maybe I'll pull it out and then
I do hope, even the people sitting
on the floor, that everybody gets
on their feet if Leonard remembers the name of this movie.
Burgess Meredith.
John Candy.
Jack Whitaker, the great Jack Whitaker.
Gilbert Gottfried.
Tim Kazerinsky.
Jim Metzler.
Oh no, the shake went into a nod.
He's now nodding.
Cindy Pickett.
Dabney Coleman.
Virginia Madsen. And's now nodding. Cindy Pickett, Dabney Coleman, Virginia Madsen,
and Bob Goldthwait,
also known as Bobcat.
Is it called Hot to Trot? It is!
Yay!
Whoa!
Standing ovation.
The Upright Citizen Brigade Theater.
Ha ha ha.
Leonard is on the board in one point.
You know what?
In a very real way,
it's depressing that I know the answer to that.
But I'm glad you're taking the game.
What made you remember?
Like, Dabney Coleman has crazy teeth
and that's the thing you said was funny about the movie.
I just remembered the name.
Yeah, there you go.
Alright, so
now we're going to start with Baron
and then we're going to go to Milana
and Baron gets to pick
between Dean underscore Goff
on Twitter suggested
a reptile dysfunction.
And that's movies where
an alligator or a crocodile attacks someone.
Werner Herzog
recently named on
some site his top five
movies of all time. Top five favorite
movies of Werner Herzog. So that's
in here. Werner, I should say.
And then Music Shitty.
I was just in Nashville recently, the Music City,
and somebody came up with Music Shitty,
and that's musicals that Leonard gave two stars or less.
I'm going to go with that.
You like that category?
Have you guys done musicals on the show yet?
Probably not, because there hasn't been a big musical out.
But Annie, Black Annie's coming out.
That's right.
Also known as Blanny.
Yeah.
That's right.
I'm excited about Blanny.
I can't believe I started that.
I started it.
Only one person said it.
1982 is the year for this musical that Leonard calls a bomb.
He says it's mindless.
Opens with a great number, then goes downhill.
Yeah.
Pedestrian music, clumsy comedy, uncharismatic leads.
Ooh.
Yeah.
That's about half the review right there.
And he lists
11 names.
How many names can you get
in Baron Vaughn, co-host of
Maltin on Movies with Baron Vaughn?
Five names.
What a bid.
Milana, do you want to...
Name that movie!
Alright.
Alright, here's your five names, dude.
Okay.
Good luck.
Alright.
Connie Stevens.
Okay.
Tab Hunter.
My favorite.
Good old Tab.
Dodie Goodman.
Sweetheart.
I think Leonard's gonna know this one.
Sid Caesar.
And Eve Arden are all in this movie
from 1982
what do you got
yeah
I have a definite guess
okay
I have no idea
really no guess at all
um
no
wow no no I got nothing Definite guess. Okay. I have no idea. Really? No guess at all? No.
Wow.
No.
No.
I got nothing.
Did you recognize the fact that all of those people seemed like they might have been a little bit long in the tooth even in 1982?
Yeah.
That's because they were all in another movie previous to this one.
What is it, Leonard?
Well, this is Grease 2.
It's Grease 2.
Grease 2?
Yeah.
So Leonard with the right answer, and Milana with the win.
You win with two points.
Yeah, Dee Dee Cohn, Lona Luft, Adrian Zmed, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Maxwell Caulfield.
Grease 2.
If I would have heard Michelle Pfeiffer, but...
Yeah, that would have helped, but that's 10 names in or whatever.
Yeah, so that's the trick of this game right here.
But let me just...
I got to erase this right now
because I don't want that ever to come up again.
Thank you guys so much for playing the game
and for bringing all the prizes and stuff.
Who is...
Let's get Josh up here to get his prizes.
I've seen that poster before.
This is another attempt.
Oh, really?
Somebody else did that in another city.
The same JAWSH.
So you're just knocking all this dude's dreams.
No, no.
He won the prize.
But you can have your poster back, too, if you want.
Do you want it?
There you go.
I mean, you're ineligible from now on. Are you sure. Do you want it? There you go. I mean, you're ineligible from now on.
Are you sure?
Do you want it?
Do you want it?
You can have it.
No, it's okay.
It's okay.
More visual humor in this episode than I expected.
Usually you know
when it's coming
I know
Marcel Marceau
hasn't said a thing
TJ Miller
what
I said Marcel Marceau
hasn't said a thing
this entire time
you know
rest in peace

And Milano,
what do you got going on
besides obviously
ongoing AT&T spots?
I just saw one I hadn't seen before today.
That was exciting. Yeah, that's a sweet gig.
I always like when there's a new one, they refresh them a lot
for these kind of spots, which is nice.
Yeah, it's real nice.
For you.
Hey.
I do stand-up around town.

I'm sure we do.
Oh, this one's involved.
And let's see what
Demi the movie's got going on.
Oh, another,
boy, you guys
have a lot of words here.
I'm going to have to limit it
to 140 characters
or something.
Oh my god, that's ridiculous.
You can do it.
Alright, I'll try it. I'll try and see
what happens, but let's have one more round of applause
for Milena Weintraub,
Baron Vaughn,
and Leonard Malton!
Thank you.
I like that this time you messed up my first name.
I said Milena.
Yeah.
Milana.
Good enough.
Sorry, Milana.
Whatever.
As always,
a shithead says what?
What?
Milana Weintraub is a shithead. There you What? Milana Vitrum is a shithead.
There you go. That's the joke.
I'm supposed to call whoever fell
for that a shithead.
See? I knew it wasn't going to work.
Maybe I should have
sold it better.
And the candiru,
which is that small fish
in the Amazon that can swim up your urine stream into your dick hole.
Yeah, that thing is definitely a shithead.
Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie.
Eyes of gold and viewing prowess makes him foggy.
There's no room in his heart for you.
Because Doug loves movies.
