Doug hates candy wrappers, creamy babies, sticky seeds
With 50 acid popcorn kernels in his teeth
There's still not one that he won't see
Cause Doug loves movies
Hey everybody
My name is Doug and I love movies Hey, everybody. Oh.
My name is Doug, and I love movies.
This is Doug Loves Movies.
It's pretty good.
You guys are awesome.
Coming to you like we do on most Tuesdays from the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles
at 7 p.m. sharp.
Okay, it's a few after.
We were close.
Get here at 5.30 if you want to stand in line
next to Baseball Jordan.
It's Tuesday, August 20th
at 2 Oceans 13. Let me see your name tags,
Los Angeles. Oh, there's a
dog with an outfit
on named Kevin.
That is...
I can't even begin to describe it, so I won't.
A guy with a Fargo
Blu-ray? Not Blu-ray.
No wonder
I can't get my Blu-ray player to work.
I keep trying to shove laser discs into it.
You have a big
tire that says rubber on it.
That's your name, rubber?
Mark. Okay, well.
Someday you guys are going to figure out what a name tag
is.
This concept is really going to take off
someone's got a bottle of something
that you just wrote your name on, what is that?
London's Pride
oh, that sounds delicious
I hope I get to try it
thanks you guys for bringing the name tags
I'm at UNC Charlotte
this Thursday
Fuck Yeah Fest in LA on Saturday.
And Pennsylvania,
the winner of the Leonard Maltin game
at the stand-up show at the Arts Quest
in Bethlehem gets a guest seat at
Douglas Movies the next day
at Helium in Philly at
420. A new Dining with Doug and Karen
is available for your ear holes now.
We recorded it at
CineFamily last night after an interruption of Now You See Me,
and the director of that film was in the audience.
Yeah, and then chatted with us
and tried some of the food,
and it's a crazy crossover event.
So listen to my mini-episode
where Paul Tompkins
and Rory Scovel
and Brendan Walsh, the three of us are just
four of us, I did too
we were just gleefully
like railing on Dave Franco
and
how, like somebody said
I didn't see that movie because I saw the billboard
it was harsh
and the director was there the whole time, but we
didn't know it. We didn't know it. So when you're listening
to it, you're going to be like, oh, shit, the director's right
there.
That's intense.
And he loomed over the Dining with Doug and Karen
podcast because we knew he was there pretty early on
and he didn't come over and talk to us for a while.
So I was very nervous.
And don't forget to check out
Greatest Movie Ever Rolled on demand in iTunes
and other places like that now.
Now it's time for
Watch This, Not That.
The number one movie
in the country
is Lee Daniels' The Butler
and the number two movie
is We're the Millers.
But who cares
because Friday
we are all seeing
the world's end.
Please welcome
Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and and my new best friend, Nick Frost! Good evening.
Hey, everyone.
Hey, fellas.
I didn't mean to kill people on the way in.
Yeah, that's one thing I always forget to tell people
is it's the curtain, not the door.
Which is, you know, a pretty good life lesson, I think.
You should always go for the curtain instead of the door. Which is, you know, a pretty good life lesson, I think. You should always go for the curtain instead of the door.
It's always less resistance.
But thank you guys.
I don't know what that means, but it's really clever.
Thank you very much.
That's Simon Pegg, everybody.
Hello.
Hello.
And, uh...
And, uh... Just tried so hard to be clever again.
You were so impressed with the last one.
I should just introduce all three of you.
I don't have a thing I want to say to just Simon right now.
So let's hear it for also Nick Frost and Edgar Wright.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
The trio
of the Cornetto trilogy
here on my
show. I cannot tell you how
excited I am. It's nice to be here.
It's nice to be friends reunited.
Yeah. You've been
gone making this fucking movie.
But I'd rather have the movie than you
here for the last
year, because that's how much I love this movie
and that I know the guy who made it.
I can't be on every week like Sam Levine.
We need you here to take him down.
I'm not sure
that's possible. That's my question for you guys
is, are you all just going to bolt town again
in a few days after the movie
opens on Friday
yes
we are getting the fuck out of here
quickly
because we have a new tradition on the show
that the winner of the Leonard Mullen game
is invited back the very next week
to defend their title Jeopardy style
I know I enjoyed hearing Werner Herzog
Werner Herzog tore it up.
I think he finally
just, you know, tanked on purpose
so that he could go make that thing
about texting while driving.
Which everybody
is sending me the link to that, like I'm friends with
Werner Herzog,
or I'm interested in his every move.
But I actually am, a little bit.
But,
yeah, so nobody can come back next week.
No. What are you doing?
You live here.
I've got to go. I've also got to go.
But I will be back eventually. Where are you going?
I'm going back to London.
Alright.
Briefly. You're going back to London?
Yeah. And so, you know, I don't get the
like UK box office. I got it. You're right. Very London? Yeah. And so, you know, I don't get the, like, UK box office.
Help Doug with his jacket.
I got it, I got it.
You're right.
Very nice.
Polite of you, though.
Well, as best friends now, I felt that I needed to...
Yeah, you're my new best friend.
Edgar said that we were going to be best friends, and so, you know.
There's a lot of pressure on that, though.
I think it's easy.
We're never going to see each other.
All right.
You don't follow me on Twitter.
Wait a minute.
What the fuck?
What? What? What?
What?
Is this an open relationship?
It's ridiculous.
You're an ongoing close friend, Simon.
I'm just saying that Edgar dubbed us
best friends at Comic-Con
and then we proceeded to not really talk
to each other very much.
Oh, I mean, Nick and
Doug would be best friends.
I introduced you to Nick saying, this is your new best friend. Yeah, that's, Nick and Doug would be best friends. I said, I introduced you to Nick
saying,
this is your new best friend.
Yeah, that's what I just said.
I'm just terrible.
I was briefly,
I was briefly away.
Thinking about
your travel schedule.
I was.
I was thinking about
texting and driving.
How crazy it is.
But is it in the UK?
Is the movie killing it?
Is it making a ton of money?
Yeah, it's done pretty good.
We opened against a heat wave,
which is not the greatest thing in the world.
What's heat wave?
Werner Herzog heat wave.
It was the hottest summer that we've ever had in Britain.
Oh, there was a heat wave happening.
I thought there was another motion picture
called Heat Wave that I wasn't familiar with.
Although I'd go to see that.
It's the sequel to Heat.
What happens in it?
People wave.
There's a wave.
Maybe a heist during a tsunami.
Hello.
I hope De Niro and Pagino have one scene together again
because that's pretty riveting
to wait for for an entire movie.
It's in a tanning salon.
No, we opened up against
the hottest weekend ever in the United
Kingdom, and as a response
the opening wasn't quite as
massive as we hoped, but they came
in eventually. It was one of those things where people
the whole of cinema suffered that
weekend, even Monsters, Inc.
It was...
University.
Monsters, you.
Monsters, you. It was... University. Monsters, you. Sorry, sorry.
Please.
Monsters, you.
University.
Sorry.
Get it together.
No, Monsters, Inc.
has been in the UK
top ten for 12 years.
We've only just got it.
I know.
It's amazing
what we're like.
We just figured it out.
The highest grossing film
of all time
in the UK
is Monsters, Inc.
Grease is still number one.
Yeah.
Grease. We're just. Yeah. Grease.
We're just about to get Grease 2 next week.
Is it any good?
Fingers crossed.
You never know.
You never know.
Well, you're going to think Michelle Pfeiffer looks great.
Yes.
Because she's aged a little.
But you guys brought so much sweat.
The winner of the prize bag tonight is going to get so much awesome
World's End stuff.
First of all, that
mounted already poster, it's not rolled up.
It's a mounted poster that all
of you guys have signed. That's worth almost
$12.
If you've come on a bicycle, you're
fucked.
You know, that's...
Somebody probably did.
That'll be our winner tonight.
You guys also brought the
Hot Fuzz 3-Disc Collectors Edition.
Oh, yeah.
Over five hours of bonus features.
And Sean Dead regular style.
An hour of bonus features.
I just called it Sean Dead.
You know, I don't have time for all those smaller words.
And what are all these shirts, Edgar?
Tell me about these shirts.
Well, in the movie,
well, it's a little bit of a spoiler.
So maybe don't look at the T-shirts until you've seen it.
But there's a sort of running gag about Gary King,
Simon's character, was in a band at school.
And he keeps talking about getting the band back together, and
every time somebody mentions something,
like an odd sentence, he says,
that's a good name for a band, write it down. And somebody
has already made every
band t-shirt from the movie.
I'm even wearing one,
like, this has been done,
this is a British t-shirt that's done
maybe like a week after the film came out, so
it's incredible how quickly
dialogue has been
I can't read this one though
what's this one called?
Mad Bad
Old Nutball
and the Shifty Twins
that would be a great band
they'd only have
the one hit
this one
for me to
Rhombus and the Aquanazis
for me to Rhombus
and the Aquanazis
and this one
is a kind of
a mashup of
the Sisters of Mercy
t-shirt that I wear
in the film
but someone's modified it
to have relevance to the film.
There it is.
Based on your appearance tonight,
you wore your own clothes in that movie, didn't you?
Oh, yeah, man.
I'm a goth.
Yeah, you just lost the glasses.
Woman and bread, man and boy.
And then also several shirts in here
that list all the pubs
that are part of the crawl in the movie.
Yeah.
Can I also point out
that all the shirts are 100%
cotton?
Thank you.
No one's ever brought that up before
and it's a crucial thing.
I've got a Doug Loves Movies t-shirt that I'm
going to throw in and it's pure shit.
It's 98%
hemp and 2% steel.
So it's
very scratchy. Is that a mouth uh a mouth light
and these these uh robots in the movie and that that's already giving away too much in my opinion
but they this blue light comes out of them i'm sure you've seen in the trailers and stuff
comes out of their mouth and so uh everyone here no i don't i'm not oprah i don't have enough for
everybody but we have a lot of them so let's let's throw them into the audience mouth lights everyone here. No, I don't. I'm not Oprah. I don't have enough for everybody.
But we have a lot of them
so let's throw them
into the audience.
Those mouth lights.
Yeah, yeah.
Incidentally,
the mouth lights
that we have on the show.
Jordan, I've thrown
two right at you.
Oh, is there a bunch?
Don't sue.
Here we go.
Here we go.
I'm not going to throw them
because I might feel
You get a car.
You get a car.
You get a match.
You get a match.
Come on.
There we go.
This bag is amazing.
Somebody got a canvas bag.
The listeners love it when you throw stuff to the audience.
It is the most fun thing to listen to.
They can just hear people getting shit.
Can I just say, as a word of warning,
those mouth lights are the number one cause
of oral cancer here in the...
So look at them, but don't put them in.
Never put them in.
Nick is actually wearing something from the movie.
Oh.
Yeah, this cardigan features in the film.
And I'm having to point it out a lot at Q&As.
Did you just hop off the plane at LAX
with a dream in your cardigan?
Yeah.
This is LA, baby.
That's what we all do.
You're a regular Miley Cyrus.
Yeah, I mean, there was a thousand cardigans
made for the film at a cost of $1.2 million.
And this is one of three that I have in my private collection.
I love it.
You didn't even fucking look at it.
I knew.
I've been looking at you the whole time.
Best friend.
There was, um...
I didn't bring really anything of value
because I knew you guys would bring some amazing gifts,
but I brought a copy of my most recent CD,
but I also brought the bag they give you
when they lose your bag at the airport
that's like, well, since you don't have any of your shit,
you could probably get by with this stuff.
And it's like, really?
How many people are like, oh, man,
I really wanted to polish my shoes tonight,
but my bag with my shoe polish didn't come in,
so now I gotta fucking hope that they'll give me one
in a stupid bag.
And there's a bunch of other dumb stuff in there.
Is that from United Airlines?
Yeah, like, look at this.
Do they actually give...
United Airlines actually give out a CD of Gateway Doug?
Yeah, they should.
They should be like, just fucking...
There should be a joint in my CD and nothing else.
Like, look at this.
Laundry greens in this little thing.
I almost ate that one night because I got hungry waiting for my real bags to come because that's got all my food in it.
But also, I always like to give away, but I should probably share it with.
Can you pass this down to my new best friend?
Nick might need to know the rules of the game.
Yeah, the Leonard Maltin game rules.
All of them are there.
This comes in that bag.
I like to give one away to each week
because, you know, then they can look at it,
know what it says.
Funnily enough, I've got to tell you this
because Leonard Maltin...
Use your microphone, boys.
It's not going to work.
But Leonard Maltin's daughter tweeted me today
to say that Leonard had seen the film,
and she said he won't use this quote in the actual review,
but he said it was batshit crazy.
He said batshit crazy and hilarious.
He swears in real life, but he's quite genteel in his reviews.
I'd love it to be the first review to use swearing in his, let's say,
three and a half stars, batshit crazy.
Based on his review of Scott Pilgrim, I just think
that he just cannot handle
fast cutting and
action. This one's not quite as fast, though, is it?
No, but it's, you know,
it moves. It builds up. It moves. Simon's a fast
talker in this one. Yeah.
And I dare say,
I've said this to you already, but I'll say it
again, crawl way up your ass, but
Simon and Edgar in this one
I think wrote the best characters
that Nick and Simon have played
in a movie. Like, they're
really...
I'm tearing up, listeners.
Right? Just say, yeah, I did a good job.
Thanks, man. That's very well. It's lovely British.
We can't say that.
We just have to stand and our lips have to quiver slightly.
Have you seen Remains of the Day? We can't show any emotion. We can't say that. We just have to stand and our lips have to quiver slightly. Have you seen Remains of the Day?
We can't show any emotion.
We can't accept a compliment.
Not here, Doug.
All right, you cunts.
That's more like it.
Let's go to the pub.
We've got one and a half on this block.
One and a half?
I think there's two now.
I think there's two that you could call a pub, maybe.
What counts on this block?
Franklin and something?
Yeah.
Franklin and Bash.
And then on the other corner, we've got Rizzoli and Isles.
Two great theme pubs.
Yeah.
We're already running so far behind schedule.
Because I wanted to,
I'm sorry,
schedule.
I really wanted to,
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Try to speak the language.
Can't wait for Edgar
to say the word corridor.
It always comes up.
Corridor.
Yeah.
But I wanted to try a new,
So exotic, isn't it?
Yeah.
What?
I said the word corridor
was so exotic to you
what about pavement
hallway
huh
no that would be
the fancier word for pavement
would be
concrete
no you guys say
sidewalk
that's French right
sidewalk
it's very functional
it's a walk
it's a side of the bit
you walk on
we say pavement
it's slightly more
sort of old
it's like
it throws up images of cobbles
and cholera.
Of cobbles and cholera
is a good band name.
You should write that down.
Yeah.
Cobbles and cholera.
My biopic.
Rated R.
But we should pick
name tags.
That's an important
part of this process
is everyone holds up
odd objects that they claim are name tags. This motherf an important part of this process. Everyone holds up odd objects
that they claim are name tags.
This motherfucking dog's got to get something.
Look at this.
That dog should be standing outside of a pub.
Is the idol from
Indiana Jones making the woot monkey noise?
Look at that. Oh no, there's a woot monkey back there.
Whoa, look at this. Is that like a fucking particle
accelerator? I'll take this dog.
Simon's going for the dog.
Yeah, that's very normal.
And Nick, if you just go grab it from whoever you want to play for.
I'd like to thank the Academy.
Who's nearest to me?
There's a guy with a...
Voila.
Who's nearest to me with food?
Yeah.
With a food-ish product called Whoppers.
Whoppers.
Whoppers.
We call these Maltesers.
You do?
Yeah.
You have a totally different name for that?
Yeah, it's the whole cobbles and cholera thing.
It just sort of sounds more like old times.
It's an exchange of ideas, isn't it?
Anyone?
Isn't it?
Maltesers and Whoppers is much like Franklin and Bash.
It's a great, great show.
Here we go.
You guys can talk during this part.
This is nice.
Very proud, isn't he?
He's like the mayor.
He's been in the Navy.
What is it?
I have no idea.
Okay.
Where did you find it?
My mom has it.
Where?
Not anymore.
Best side draw?
I totally fucked up.
I'm so excited about this show tonight
that I screwed up
and I didn't say
we'll be right back
to insert a commercial
during the part
where you're looking
for your name tags.
So I'll just say it right now.
We'll be right back.
And we're back!
Amazing.
So who are you playing for, Edgar?
I'm playing for Quindiana
Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Love it. And also, there's a shithead
written on the back, so don't spoil that.
Okay.
Not a very controversial shithead, either.
Oh, well.
You'll see. That's revealing.
Okay. Simon?
I am playing for Kevin and his majestic dog.
It really looks like it should be standing outside of a pub.
Admiral Poppington.
That might be his name.
Lord High Admiral Poppington.
There's no might about it.
That is his goddamn name.
Given at birth.
Did you write a shithead on the
back, dude? Okay, we'll get it
from you if Simon loses tonight, but he's a formidable
competitor, even though the great
Edgar Wright is here.
Don't say it if there's a shithead on the
back. I don't know what that means.
Just walk away.
Whose name is on the
front of it? Whopper.
Because these are Whoppers.
No, it's...
He put his name on it somewhere, the guy you're playing for.
Is that your name? Okay.
Mojo.
He underlined it with his pen.
Mojo?
Mojo.
Mojo.
Brave or Mojo.
It's a Simpsons reference.
What?
Mojo's Milk Boss.
Mojo's Milk Boss, that's his name.
Yeah. Thanks, mate. Really fun.
Really
took him about, between
thinking of it and making it, it took him less than
three minutes.
But he got picked because he was sitting close.
That's sometimes
all you need, isn't it? Just be close.
Guy was at the end of the line, so he had to sit on the floor
and got picked. Yeah. I thought you was at the end of the line, so he had to sit on the floor and got picked.
Yeah.
I thought you were going to go
for the particle accelerator,
to be honest.
It'd be flashing in the dark
and everything.
Yeah, I have a problem
with my piles at the moment,
so I didn't really want to move.
Fair enough.
I'm honest a lot,
to be honest.
Did you hear how most of us
didn't get that?
Piles.
Oh, hemorrhoids.
I'm sorry.
Once I'm sat, I don't like to move.
Do you want to play a new game, Edgar?
Let's do it.
We've got to do it quickly.
So far, it doesn't even have a name yet.
I'm just calling it New Game.
People, after we play this game on Twitter,
submit your title ideas for this game so I don't have to keep calling it New Game. It was suggested by attherobertmain, M-A this game on Twitter, submit your title ideas for this game
so I don't have to keep calling it New Game.
It was suggested by
attherobertmain, M-A-I-N, on Twitter.
I'll name someone who's in movies,
and then you guys take turns
naming movies that person was in
until you can't think of one.
You'll get like three seconds each time.
As soon as you can't think of one, you're out.
You're the person who lasts the longest.
25 movies this person is in.
Jesus.
Yeah.
And I know I would be terrible at this,
so don't feel bad if you don't do great.
And we'll start with my new best friend, Nick.
Hello.
Yeah.
You co-starred with him in the motion picture Paul.
Name any movie that starred or featured
or even voiceover acting by Seth Rogen.
I can't say Paul.
You can, you just did.
Bang.
All right, Paul.
Simon?
This is the end.
Donnie Darko. There there you go deep cuts yeah i like the way you play edgar uh 40 year old virgin yeah he is he's in the shop yeah i can confirm that he's in that
not works at the tv store uh knocked Yeah. He's in that for sure.
The guilt trip.
Why?
He's in it.
That's like cheating.
Not really.
Nick?
The Green Hornet.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
I thought you guys would be good at this.
Apologies to put your hands together.
You, me, and Dupree
That's a really good pull
I was going to say
It's barely in that, right?
Yeah
I was going to say You, Me and Dupree
You fucked me up
I know
Oh, isn't he a voice in Monsters vs. Aliens?
Yes, he is
Yeah, with that other monster, Reese Witherspoon.
I'm sure he's nice.
Unless you're a law enforcement officer.
I'm having trouble.
Yeah, it's hard. Yeah, I'm having trouble right now.
All right.
We'll give you a few more seconds
don't make it
any worse for me
Seth Rogen
he was
like he was
the alien in Paul
so you didn't
spend much time
with him
well that was it
really
that was the
first thing
I'd known him in
and I'd never
really watched
anything after that
I'm quite insular
you didn't hit it
off with him
yeah I liked him
very much
oh okay
but I don't know
he's
he's oovra
I'm not so au fait with his canon I liked him very much. Oh, okay. But I don't know who he's... He's oeuvre. He's oeuvre.
I'm not so au fait with his canon.
He's got a canon?
Yeah, he's got a canon.
I'm going to give you a clue.
Another animated film
that he's voiced in.
Just pass.
You have a go.
Observe and Report.
Oh, lovely.
Very good.
That's lovely.
Kung Fu Panda.
Of course. Ah, yeah. All right, back's lovely. Kung Fu Panda. Of course.
Ah, yeah. Alright, back to you, Simon, because
my new best friend is out.
50-50.
Yes. I love that movie.
Nobody's mentioned Superbad, right?
Nobody has, yeah. That's nice.
One of our favourites.
Superbad,
obviously, I mean,
I'm not going to
beat around the bush,
it's going to be something
I'm going to say straight away
because I'm not going
to fuck around.
I don't like,
personally,
I don't like stalling,
it's not something I enjoy.
But what I will say is this,
he's done a lot of films
and one of my absolute
favourites,
one of the ones,
no,
in all seriousness,
without being a,
I don't want to be a douche
or whatever it is
you guys say,
but he is really, really good in Nick Help.
You're out.
I'm out.
Can you rub it in and name one more?
Staring you in the face.
Kung Fu Bandit 2.
Oh!
I didn't know we could do sequels.
Fucking face in your face, Simon.
Yeah, it's all of his movies.
What did we miss?
We missed Anchorman, Shrek the Third,
Spiderwick Chronicles, Horton Hears a Who.
He's in Anchorman, yeah.
Stepbrothers, Pineapple Express,
Zach and Mary MacApona.
Pineapple Express, of course.
Fanboys, Funny People, Take This Waltz,
and For a Good Time, Call.
There you go.
25 movies of Seth Rogen,
past and hopefully future guests on the show.
That was fun, but I guess we should have known
Edgar would win that. Now, I have a question about that
game. I've got to have you play that against Sam Levine
sometime. Is that game Seth Rogen every
week? Yeah, it's always
going to be Seth Rogen. People will never tire
of that. I think you just call it...
Especially if he's here, I'm going to do it. Just call it
the Seth Rogen game. Oh, yeah. That's definitely
what I should call it. No, it's going to be just different people that I
choose.
Was that the inaugural game?
First time we played the new game.
It should be called the Seth Rogen game then. It should be just called the Seth Rogen game.
Alright.
I'm sure he's alright with that.
A tribute to Seth. Absolutely.
I was going to make it into a contest with the listeners, but
Seth's a good guy.
Seth Rogen game is a great...
It really flows nicely with the Leonard Maltin game too.
Just go right from Seth Rogen to Leonard Maltin.
It will confuse the fuck out of the next person playing it.
But Leonard Maltin, of course, is a little bit more complicated.
I'm trying to invent games that are easier for the guests
to pick up on immediately.
Next week we have a guest coming that I am loathe
to try to make him play
the Leonard Maltin game.
It's Leonard Maltin.
He's played it and he actually got one
right last time, but he is pretty
bad at it.
He doesn't remember all the shit he writes.
He doesn't remember what his minions
thought. Because he's got a team.
He doesn't remember giving Hot Fuzz
two stars.
Did he?
Out of how many?
Out of how many?
17.
Out of 20. Out of 20? No, out of four,
which means fair, and I've argued with him about that one. We've had some
pretty heated blow-ups.
I still love him. That's a pass. I didn't mean to call him a
fucking asshole. That's bad.
He's a good guy.
He likes the Star Trek...
He gave Gremlins a bad review.
Did he like Star Trek?
I think so.
Oh, he's alright then.
You know that guy's into darkness.
He's super into darkness.
Alright, Edgar, you get to pick a category.
And then since Simon knows what's going on, we'll go to him.
And then Nick is going to be completely on board before it's his turn.
What?
Huh?
At Matt Picasso on Twitter.
He's suggested stuff before.
I usually don't use the same people, but this one's so good I had to use it.
The category is the Cornetto category.
Oh.
And that's movies that have either ice or cream in the title.
Fucking hell.
Yeah.
Doesn't narrow it down as much as you'd think.
Also, celebrating a birthday today, Weatherman Al Roker.
So, yes, the films of Al Roker.
That is the worst.
I have to say, that is the worst category.
You are going to love it when you hear what movie I picked.
I'll tell you later. I'll tell you later. Three Brits. You don't have to pick the category. Al Roker means nothing to Three Brits. Here's the category you were going to love it when you hear what movie I picked I'll tell you later
I'll tell you later
Three Brits
you don't have to
pick the category
Al Roker means nothing
to Three Brits
here's the category
you're going to pick
how old is he today
he's 59 I think
oh lovely
it's nice isn't it
you cunt
at Jeff DeCaro
all I know about Al Roker
is that he lost weight
and he shat himself
at the White House
that's true right isn't it yeah and he shat himself at the White House.
That's true, right? Yeah.
Isn't it?
Yeah, and he says,
let's see what's going on in your neck of the woods.
Which I always like to say to the ladies
when I'm making that move.
But that's true, isn't it?
Didn't he shat at the White House?
Is that true?
Yeah, and he also recently overslept.
He missed the whole Morning Today show.
And he was like, hey, 48 years, what are you going to do?
One time, I overslept.
I like him.
Yeah, it's a good explanation.
But Jeff DeCaro on Twitter suggested Roe v. Wade, Roe versus Wade,
and that's movies where one or more people are lost at sea.
Oh, my God.
Wow. Oh my god Wow I think
Which one of those
Why are you consulting
With your competitors
Oh sorry
You get to pick
Pick Ice Creamy
I can't do the Al Roker one
So
I know a lot about him
I said those are the only things
I know about him
I don't think
There's a film about him When you find out What movie he's in It makes absolute him I don't think there's a film about him
when you find out what movie he's in
it makes absolute sense
I don't think he's in the film Olympus Has Fallen
Olympus Has Sharted
White House Brown
I think we may as well we may as well go home after that.
Let's go for the ice and cream one, I guess.
Okay.
I'm glad you're excited about it.
He's disappointed.
It's one of those tough ones.
Would you like a movie with ice or cream in the title? From 1995 or 1981?
1981.
I knew you were fucking going to do that.
Two stars from Leonard.
Yeah, so this movie's in the same boat with Hot Fuzz.
Oh, so it's really good, isn't it?
Sad, miserable boat.
He just didn't get it.
1981 is the year, of course.
He calls this movie episodic.
And he also says that this movie has some hilarity.
Oh.
Some hilarity.
It's got ice or cream in the title
and the number of names he lists are seven names.
How many names do you think it'll take you to get it, Edgar Wright?
Now I'm unsure.
It wasn't what I thought it was.
So I'm going to say... What, seven names?
Seven, yeah.
I'll go for four names.
All right. That's a pretty amazing bid.
Really put Simon in a position.
In for a penny, in for a pound.
That's a British expression.
It doesn't mean anything there either, right?
In for a...
All right. None of them do. That? In for a... None of them do.
That's the big joke.
None of them do.
In for a dime, in for a dollar.
In for a scream, in for a holler.
I like that you immediately went to feminine.
I know.
Yeah, I did too.
The only way I can do it is like this.
Don't ask me why.
I will say, I'll say three.
Fuck it, why not? Come on.
I'll do it in three. Alright, so Nick can
bid lower or force
Simon to name it.
If he doesn't name it, you'll get the point.
Yeah, well, I can't go lower, so
I'm going to say...
Is this something I have to say? Name it, Simon.
Simon?
Name it.
Name that movie.
All right, stop shouting at me.
You're not directing my life.
He thinks he is. He thinks he is.
Direct your own life.
Get off our backstreet.
Simon,
I'd like you to name that movie.
Right.
That works. You got him to do that movie. Right. That works.
You got him to do it right.
How many names?
Three.
Here you go.
Will you put High Admiral Lord Poppington on this?
Yes, I will.
I want to see him.
With all his pomp.
With his puppy pomp.
Sandra Bernhardt was in this movie.
Dr. Timothy Leary.
What?
Yeah.
And Stacey Keech.
From 1981.
Nick's gonna get his first point.
It's not what I thought it was gonna be.
Um.
Ice and Cream.
No, I have no idea.
The rest of the names are Paul Rubens,
Evelyn Guerrero,
Thomas Chong, and Cheech Marin.
Cheech and Chong's nice dreams.
Oh, wait.
I was thinking ice and cream.
I didn't think you meant ice.
No, ice. It's in there.
Jesus Christ.
I thought it was going to be the word
ice or cream.
You're booing that Nick Frost just got his first point
in his first game?
This isn't UFC, you guys.
So it has to be...
Wait.
Oh, okay.
We're done with that category.
I was misled.
I've let my dog down and I feel like...
Shit gets tricky sometimes.
Oh, okay.
I was immediately
reeling off my freeze.
I was immediately
down.
Edgar gets to pick again why?
I was immediately
listing off in my head
every ice
I couldn't think of
any cream ones
I thought of ice pirates
ice pirates
and green ice
I was thinking ice pirates
ice pirates
green ice
it's green ice
it's green ice
no it's not
what's green ice?
green ice is a terrible
heist film with
Ryan O'Neill
and Ann Archer.
Green Ice.
Wow.
Because they're stealing emeralds.
Of course they are.
The film Blue Ice
with Michael Caine
is about urine
coming down
from an airplane toilet.
Is it?
That is true.
That's true.
Are you taking the piss?
Yeah.
There's a scene
in it where he talks
about one of his friends being killed from above by Blue Ice. Can I do it? Yeah. There's a scene in there where he talks about one of his friends
being killed from above
by blue ice.
Can I do it?
He was just there.
He was standing in the garden.
And then all of a sudden,
a shard of ice killed him.
It was bloody blue. It was bloody blue.
Edgar gets to pick, then we go to Nick.
Okay.
Because I like everything to rhyme.
At TwitOck,
T-W-I-T-Ock,
TwitOck,
suggested nine-inch nails, and that's movies that have a crucifixion scene in them. T-W-I-T-O-C. Twitoc. Suggested Nine Inch Nails.
And that's movies that have a crucifixion scene in them.
At... At Saviesar.
I don't know what that means.
S-A-V-I-E-S-S-A-R-S-A-R.
Suggested Rock Bottom.
Oh.
And that's Dwayne Johnson movies
that Leonard gave two stars or less.
We just...
Oh, can we say?
We can't say.
We should say.
We just got an email from The Rock
because he watched the movie.
He tweeted about the film twice,
which is amazing.
That's nice.
For somebody who follows no people on Twitter,
he has like five million,
and he tweeted about the trailer twice,
and then we were really excited for him to see the movie
because in the movie,
you do two different
moves by the rock.
I do,
at one point in the film
I perform a rock bottom.
Nick executes
what's beautifully
referred to as
the most electrifying
move in sports entertainment.
The people's elbow.
So we sent it
to Dwayne Johnson
in Budapest to watch
and he loved it.
So maybe we should...
He sent us the sweetest email,
and we got so giddy with excitement.
Nick and me used to watch the WWF,
back when it was the World Wildlife Fund.
And we...
Until Vince McMahon stabbed that panda to death.
And then I had to change it.
We used to sit in
our front room
just completely baked
watching
WWE
and trying to replicate the moves
doing the eyebrow
yeah
doing the eyebrow and stuff
I actually literally
broke Nick's thumb once
when he would
choke slam me onto his bed
not as a prelude to
intercourse
although we did have intercourse
best not out like that
best make up sex, wouldn't it?
But so for The Rock to email us was a lovely thing.
Anyway, let's go on with the game.
But that could be a favourite to do.
Your third choice is Less Miserables.
Yeah.
And that's movies with either happy, fun or joy in the title.
So the fact that fun is in the title, it could be funny
people.
So you don't have to fall for that again.
So happy, fun, or joy?
I think we've got to go for the rock bottom.
I think you do after that tearful...
Are you meant to ask us? No, I'm going to go for rock bottom.
It's supposed to be his decision.
If we're doing it, I just want to do it right.
Yeah.
He's supposed to be ruthless. I don't know what he's doing.
Rock bottom. Do it yourself.
Would you like a Dwayne
the Rock Johnson movie from
2005 or 2001?
Let's go
2001.
You did it again, Simon. I did it again.
Every time. One and a half stars
from Leonard.
Yeah, that's below two
2001
he says about this movie
that it
it's long
and he also says that it is
I don't want to give it away
all these words let you know exactly
what it is, I think.
He says that it's,
it's,
the movie's made up
entirely of climaxes.
I've seen a film like that.
That's a pretty strong,
that's a pretty strong
clue.
It's on my hotel pay-per-view. I saw it last night.
It was great. And he lists nine names.
How many names do you think you'll take to name it
Edgar? I'm going negative one.
I should have had a pen and a piece of paper.
He went negative one,
Nick. So you know it?
So he's very confident.
So I, at this point then, because I
clearly don't, I couldn't beat him with that,
then I should have to say, Edgar,
name the film.
Name the movie.
Don't worry.
Edgar.
He has to name it and he has to name the
top billed performer in the movie.
And he has to get the title exactly right.
This is a wild guess. I'm going to say the movie
is The Mummy Returns
with Brendan Fraser.
We've got a new Sam Levine
on our hands.
Who claims it's a guess
while very confident.
But yeah,
there's like the whole review,
just everything he says
just absolutely gives it away.
Big, dumb sequel.
That would have given it away.
I've never actually seen that one.
Oh, really? I only saw the first one.
I liked the first one.
I was on board, sure.
That was his breakout role, wasn't it? It was the Scorpion King,
wasn't it? The Scorpion King.
Yeah, the rock, yeah.
That was one of the other clues.
I couldn't say, oh, it's followed by the Scorpion King
sort of give it away
but that means that
since Simon wasn't involved
that time
he gets to pick
the next category
and he's still not
on the board yet
and since Nick
challenged Edgar
Nick will go second
and which of these categories
would you like to play
Simon would you like
Peter Shrinklage
that's movies where someone gets shrunk.
Feminist movement, that's movies where you see a woman on a toilet.
And after all this frivolity, this seems inappropriate, but I'm going to say it anyway.
Rest in peace, Elmore Leonard passed away. But we had to do a category. And by we, I mean going to say it anyway. Rest in peace Elmore Leonard passed away
but we had to do a category
and by we I mean
it's just me
that makes these decisions.
Elmore Leonard is the greatest.
The best.
Yeah.
Justified is my favorite
TV show right now
and he's done
lots of great movies
none of which I'm going to mention
because that's a category.
Movie adaptations
of the works
of Elmore Leonard.
Which one of those
would you like to play someone gets
drunk lady on a toilet
the great Elmore Leonard
what a tribute this is to him
I feel if I pick the ladies in the toilet one it would be
a real snub to Elmore Leonard who
deserves a lot more than that so I think out of
deference to the great man I think we should go with
Elmore's category
would you like with Elmore's category. Okay.
Would you like an Elmore Leonard movie where you see a woman on a toilet
from, I don't know, probably not,
1988 or 1995?
Let's go with 88.
Let's do an Edgar.
Okay.
Two and a half stars
for this
adaptation of Elmore Leonard.
I vehemently disagree
with that rating. I'll tell you that.
I won't say which way, but it's
off.
He says about this movie
that...
Do you think it's off, lower, or higher?
There's no questions allowed, sir.
Sorry.
He mentions that Samuel L. Jackson
appears unbilled in this movie.
And he also says that
the movie has an appealing cast.
And he lists nine names.
How many names?
Simon Pegg.
I'll name it in eight.
Nick?
Well, technically speaking, then,
I mean, that's Simon showing...
I'm just trying to feel out how the game's played.
And there is more than one way to skin a cat.
So, I mean
he knows that better than anyone
I looked at him
there's a knife for your teeth
the what?
two ways to skin a cat
we'll be right back
so I mean when you say eight
I'm thinking you're not very confident
no I'm not
I chose it more because I feel like Elmore Leonard deserves a nod tonight,
not because I'm particularly okay with his film.
Sure.
Are people still here? Yes.
But if you give him all eight names, there's only one name missing,
so he's going to get a lot of cast members.
Yeah.
So if I were you...
Yeah.
I would just...
And also not very confident.
I would just knock off one not very confident, I would just
knock off one name and say seven names.
That's what I would do.
But then does it go to Edgar?
Yeah, and he could say name it, but you're going to get
seven names out of nine.
Or he'll say negative seven.
Or two.
Or whatever he's planning on doing over there.
Alright, I
will
say Simon, name the movie.
Holy shit.
Whoa.
Whoa, thank you.
Well, you know, I do...
That is good strategy, actually,
because it'll just cause a three-way tie,
and it will not be over if Simon manages...
If Simon gets this, he'll get the point.
Passionize us.
You guys have to rush off to a gallery opening
that's right
so we can't dick around
all night
because you're going
to a gallery
I'm going to go too
I love the idea of it
how long is the
exhibit going to be there
I think it's on for three weeks
Gallery 1988 on Melrose.
And it's all art that's inspired by movies from the Coronado trilogy.
No, it's more than that.
It's everything that I've directed.
Anything you've done at all.
Spaced, like Hot Fuzz Sean, Scott Pilgrim, World's End,
Don't, my Grindhouse trailer.
Sure, sure.
So it's kind of basically everything.
It's amazing.
We went down earlier on. It's kind of overwhelming. Anyway, sure. So it's kind of basically everything. It's amazing. We went down earlier on
and it's kind of overwhelming.
Anyway, back to the game.
Someone did a tapestry
of Edgar during this podcast.
While he directed my life.
Here's your seven names, Simon.
Nancy Allen.
Eight.
What?
I said eight.
Yeah, he said eight.
I kind of want to give you seven.
No, didn't...
Who bid first? You did. You took all the names, didn't you?
Oh, you knocked one off.
I said eight, and then he said...
Okay, okay. Eight names, sorry.
You're right, Edgar. You didn't say anything.
Just all that stuff about
every movie you've directed.
All that stuff about yourself.
Nancy Allen, Catherine Keener,
Don Cheadle, Albert Brooks,
Dennis Farina, also
recently passed. Great actor.
Steve Zahn, Ving Rhames,
and Jennifer Lopez.
You got this. He's got this. Out of sight.
That's correct.
We have a three-way tie.
Nice.
Not that it matters, because he's still got it, but am I going crazy, or did you say 1988?
What did I say?
1988.
It doesn't matter.
He's still got it.
You were 10 years off.
Oh, yeah.
He did say 1988.
I did.
I even looked at it twice, like, to double check, but I was looking at that last eight
was concerning me.
All right, I'll call
the corrections department
as soon as we get out of here.
So who was left out of that one?
That was Edgar again
got left out.
Edgar was left out.
And Nick challenged Simon,
so it's going to go Edgar
and then Nick.
And Edgar gets to pick
We Shot a Zoo. Of course, it's movies to go Edgar and then Nick. And Edgar gets to pick We Shot a Zoo.
Of course, it's movies that have
hunting in them.
I enjoy this category. Will Smith Loves Pussy.
And that's
films where Will Smith saves a cat.
Yeah, it's
happened more than once.
And Rocky's Horrible Picture Show.
And that's the films of Sylvester Stallone
that got two stars or less from Leonard.
Oh, I've got to go Sylvester Stallone.
Yeah?
You think you know everything there is to know about him?
No.
A little.
One and a half stars.
The year
is 1992.
Or 1882.
One and a half stars.
He says about this movie
that it has
one joke,
and it's thoroughly obnoxious.
So I've probably said too much.
And he lists eight names.
I'm going to go negative one.
Yeah, you are.
So Nick, oh, bless you.
Someone is allergic to defeat.
Well, I can't beat Edgar on that, so I'm going to say Edgar.
Name the movie.
Maybe he's wrong.
It's Stop and My Mum Will Shoot with Sylvester Stallone.
Actually, Estelle Getty got top billing.
You're kidding.
I am, You got it.
Edgar wins.
We'll be back with more of Foregone Conclusion Theater.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I'll be back eventually. You're so good at this game.
It's crazy.
Yeah, you got to come back.
I'll be back next.
Just play to play.
You don't have to be promoting a movie.
Okay.
Yeah, just play, man.
We'll have you on with Werner Herzog
and Sam Levine.
I was on,
last time I was on
was with Werner
and Sam Levine.
It was thoroughly enjoyable.
Yeah, there you go.
Werner was an
incredible presence.
Did he do that thing
where he lays on the stage
and he jumps up
onto his feet?
Because he did that
one time.
Podcast listeners
loved it.
What was I going to say?
I had something good.
Who won the prize bag?
Who's...
Oh.
Quindiana.
Quindiana Jones won a lot of swag.
Who's Quindiana?
Well done.
Come get that bag.
Well done.
Congratulations.
There we go.
I hope you like us.
Hey, man. Thank you. That's yours. I hope you like us.
Hey, man.
Thank you.
That's yours.
What a wee shit.
Oh, he's ticking me.
Hey, listen.
He wants it all back.
You throw me the idol,
I'll throw you the whip.
That's how I would have played that part.
I would have been
more casual about it.
Dr. Octopus
was so over the top
even back then.
What do you guys got to plug?
You got a movie coming out?
The movie comes out on Friday.
There's
several cinemas across the country
on Thursday night, the 22nd,
there are screenings of all three of the movies.
Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and
World's End on the big screen. Wind up to it, yeah.
So check your...
I liked how they did that for Iron Man.
Who's like, I really want to sit through Iron Man 2 again
right before Iron Man 3.
Well, there's quite a few cinemas that are doing it.
Some of them are sold out already.
That's three great movies in a row,
and I would just be...
For one ticket price
everyone's going to be going insane by the time the third one starts
with excitement
pace yourself, don't drink for the first two
otherwise you'll be asleep by the third one
and what I mean is I'd be asleep
I slept through Elysium the first time I tried
and I went back
and I liked it
you've got the new series of Game of Thrones coming up, haven't you, Jon Snow?
That's right.
Back to the Night's Watch for you.
Back to the Night's Watch.
I really... I still miss it, Gret, though.
Oh, well, I would.
This Friday, though, you guys are going to be around for a Q&A at the
that's right
AMC Century City
7.15
I'm not sure if it's sold out yet
you should check that
but
but AMC Century City
if it's not
snap them up you guys
yeah
it's going to be our last
Q&A
$1,000 a ticket
our last Q&A
I can't
I'm looking
so it'll be after the movie
yes
because I want to ask you
questions about
some stuff deep in the movie.
Stuff deep in the movie.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, why did you have to go and...
I'm going to blow it right there.
Yeah, so that's this Friday night.
And then at midnight on Friday, I'm doing a Benson movie interruption of the most recent version of Evil Dead, the 2003 Evil Dead.
Oh.
Hopefully with people involved in the production
on microphones.
Oh my god. Yeah, did you see that?
I did see that. I haven't
seen it yet, but everybody just says
it's just insanely, it's
very violent. It's an album that came out fairly
recently. It is incredibly
bloody. It's amazing that the NBAA
passed it. And super vomity too, right?
Lots of vomiting. What's that word if you're allergic?
The metaphobe.
Yeah, a metaphobe should not see you dead.
Yeah, yeah, I warn them about it, even though I haven't seen it.
And, yeah, so that's also Friday night.
I think it might be sold out, though, so I don't even know why I'm talking about it.
But if you guys are, that's why I brought it up,
if you guys are not all tuckered out from all your uh promotional duties you should uh you should come to that it's i'm having a midnight
nuru massage on friday what i'm on the road a long time and it's just nice to have a explain
what a nuru message is just a naked massage using a like a rare enzyme that they find on the bottom
of the sea and they come round and they put it with water
and it forms a jelly.
And then he takes his clothes off and just
slides all over me
like a lovely big fat worm.
It's very relaxing.
Could you pass those whoppers?
Yeah, sure.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
I thought you were joking around.
They really didn't want a shithead on the back.
I guess I could say serving size 18 pieces is a shithead.
Oh, there you go.
He's got it on postage.
Oh!
Oh, that's a good one.
I know what mine one was as well, if you need two.
Oh, you have a shithead?
No, the other guy had one.
Yeah, but he won
all the prizes
oh okay fine
whatever
he's had enough
you're gonna
you're gonna figure out
how this works someday
thank you guys
for being here
one more round of applause
for Edgar Wright
Simon Pegg
and Nick Cross
thank you
I'm sorry I let you down
well I guess we should
give that back to him
or is that
is that Simon's to keep?
No
You gotta put that back
in your mom's bedside drawer
Yeah
Oh it does
What?
It does have a switch
on the bottom
I want the
master and commander puppy
They really should make all the Master and Commander characters
into dog statues.
It would be amazing.
Some of them holding violins, right?
They played a lot of violin in that.
A little poodle scurvy.
Everybody must...
Can we all make a pact that we're all going to see
World's End on Friday?
Don't fuck around thank you
and uh
as always
Jim Carrey
for not promoting
Kick-Ass 2
is a shithead
I'm kind of on board
with that
and of course
from uh
what's the dog's name
Lord High Admiral
Puppington
he says From, uh, what's the dog's name? Lord High Admiral Puppington.
He says, Al Roker is a shithead.
Now it's time for a bunch of other talkies.
Find the world that you and Coward's make.
Get cocky, there's no room in his heart for you.
Cause Doug loves movies.
