Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seats with 50 azopop or 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
This is Doug Loves Movies
That sounded very professional
This is where show business happens
That's right, we're coming to you from the UCB Theater
In Los Angeles on Tuesday, September 17th
To Ocean's 13
Big announcement Yeah, top of show, big announcement in Los Angeles on Tuesday, September 17th to Oceans 13.
Big announcement!
Yeah.
Top of show. Big announcement.
Starting Wednesday.
That's what we went. Ooh!
Ooh!
Starting Wednesday, October 2nd at
4.15 PST.
You can see my new
weekly live streaming
talk show at youtube.com
slash Doug Benson
each week I will
sit down with a notable comedian
or actor or physicist
alright
probably no physicist
but please check it out because
we are going to hang out
and get high
on camera.
And the name of the show
of course is Getting Doug with High.
And I'm going to start every show by saying,
Let's get Doug.
In other news, I spoke too soon on the
Doug Loves Movies
possible
on Doug Loves Minis. I said that there might be a Doug Loves Movies possible on Douglas Minis
I said that there might be a Douglas Movies taping
at Fantastic Fest
in Austin that would be open to the public
but unfortunately it's a smaller
venue this year so it's going to be
for festival badge holders
only. So you
do need stinking badges
to get in
on Friday at 420.
But if you're a listener to the podcast,
then you're going to be at Fantastic Fest.
By all means, come on by.
Now it's time for Tweet Relief, tweets about movies.
Past and future guest Dave Anthony tweeted,
I turn off Terminator movies after Arnold finds clothes.
This has been Tweet Relief.
Creepy tweets
about movies.
Prize bag.
Good stuff in here, you guys. Doug Loves Movies
t-shirt, a copy of
Star Trek Into Darkness,
a
t-shirt from the nice folks
at Taxi Magic, which is
an app where you press a button
and a taxi appears.
A mechanical
robot.
And of course a copy
of Gateway Dog and some sort of
stickers from Fuzzy Balls apparel.
And I think that's
everything. Oh, and some buttons from Fuzzy Balls.
And
I'm very proud to say
that I get to bring out the lineup
that's appearing tonight
because I'd like you to please welcome
last time we were here,
the game winner, Werner Herzog,
along with John Hamm and Nick Offerman. I think it's because it's such a rugged panel
that they're excited.
A lot of facial hair.
And first-time guest, Nick Offerman, you guys.
Doffing his cap.
There you go. I know you're more of an actor type than a comedian, doffing his cap.
There you go.
I know you're more of an actor type than a comedian, but you gotta
talk into that thing the whole time.
Okay.
Good evening.
May I apologize in advance for when I slip up
and call you Ron. Okay.
Because that's probably gonna happen.
That's fine. I'd never call that other
guy Don, because he was John to me before he was Don.
That's fair.
Great story.
I think it's going great so far.
And you brought for the prize bag your book that is coming out very soon.
This is like a preview copy of Paddle Your Own Canoe,
One Man's Fundamentals for Delicious Living.
Super striking pose there on the cover.
Thank you.
In a canoe with a paddle and a duck.
340 pages of humor.
Okay.
There's a lot of things going on in it.
Oh, and it's signed by...
This is a very special copy because it's signed by you.
And, of course, Super Tournament of Champions winner
Jon Hamm is here, ladies and gentlemen.
Jon Hamm.
Jon Hamm.
Good to have you back, Jon.
With an ampersand between your names.
So did you, are you like some sort of ghost author of this? Yeah, Nick and I co-wrote that.
Oh, okay.
Anything I do
is somehow fueled
by John.
Literally or figuratively.
I mean, you've seen him.
I have.
I'm trying to figure out which one of the facial hairs he has right now,
according to your book.
I think he might be the tracker.
The tracker.
Right now.
Which is cool.
You don't want to be prison pussy.
And minus balls is a bad one.
I think the worst one is the nut smudge.
That guy, why doesn't he just get rid of that?
But it's your face with all the mustaches.
When I met Harry Connick Jr., I had a goatee.
And he, very incredibly charming guy.
He was working on Will and Grace.
And we shook hands, and he pulled me in close
upon meeting and said
where I come from we call that
a prison pussy.
He does sound
charming.
I said I think we're going to be friends.
And Werner Herzog is back, you guys.
Such a frequent guest.
Thank you.
I think between Jon Hamm and Werner Herzog
are probably neck and neck for most frequent guests
that isn't my annoying friend that I travel with a lot.
I am happy to have my neck in such close proximity
to an actor of Jon Hamm's stature.
I would like to say
this is my first time meeting
Nick Offerman and I am delighted by his
taciturn demeanor.
It's kind of like a mirror exercise you guys are doing.
I don't understand.
Because you're a vampire.
Vampires are always confused
by mirror exercises.
That's a game they will not play in
acting class. You brought a robot.
A little robot.
Yes, it is
a robot
with my face on it.
It represents my desire to have my brain transplanted into an invincible robot
to leave all nature and human frailties behind
and truly render all bullets insignificant.
But also you can wind it up and he walks around.
I didn't go for the one that shoots sparks.
I apologize.
It's a heck of a gift.
And a wonderful gift bag.
Because also we have a copy of Star Trek Into Darkness that's signed by two of its stars, John Hamm
and Nick Offerman.
Don't blink.
Somebody from
Paramount contacted us via email
and was like, hey, if we give you a copy
of Star Trek Into Darkness, would you give it away
on the podcast?
Our response is, hey, if we give you a copy of Star Trek Into Darkness, would you give it away on the podcast? And our response is, sure.
But the paragraph went on to say,
and if we get it signed by J.J. Abrams,
can we blow this shit out of the water?
I don't know what that means.
Yeah, I'll give it away on the show.
I don't know what... Blow this shit out of the water.
It is sad to hear that the Star Trek franchise is struggling so badly.
This guy might lose his job
if I don't blow this shit fucking out of the water.
I am pulling for that mom and pop production studio,
Paramount Pictures.
Poor Paramount.
Nick Offerman has a movie out on DVD today, I believe.
So it'll still be out on DVD when you guys are hearing this tomorrow
and it's called
They Will Not Resend It's DVD-ness
No
They can't do that, it's out
It's out there in the wild
Let's just see how it goes tonight
It's called Somebody Up There Likes Me
Somebody Up There Likes Me? Somebody Up There Likes Me.
Okay.
I've never been corrected with the same words before.
It's all about where you place the caesura.
Oh.
There's no way I'm going to find the email of what I'm supposed to say, but I do know.
Oh, there's a thing you're supposed to say?
I do remember.
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to blow this shit out of the water.
It's available on Amazon
and also from Barnes & Noble
and another place.
You can also get it for
American dollars
through the iTunes Corporation.
And the fine people
at Netflix have had it available the whole fucking time.
One place you cannot get it is Doug Loves Movies.
What does that mean?
It doesn't seem to be here this evening.
No, he brought his book.
No, I understand.
I know that books and DVDs are separate entities.
I meant there is a movie here
that is a wildly successful film
which no one here is connected with.
And yet, this movie that has just been released on DVD
is not present.
I see what you're saying.
Is that more of the kind of correction you're used to?
It's a great prize bag.
And thank you for
contributing everything.
But somebody up there likes me.
But you can get that.
I bet you it's also on video on demand as we speak.
Sure.
Sure.
And it's the quirky tale of a young man
who is really weird.
It's really funny, yeah.
And you play his weird waiter friend.
His best friend, yeah.
I say things in a sardonic fashion.
My facial hair and glasses change over the years.
The film happens in seven-year iterations,
five times, seven years later.
Oh, it's like the Up,
seven Up films.
It's just like that, yes.
But with naked people,
including myself.
We saw you naked in that?
I don't...
Good evening.
I didn't remember seeing you naked in that.
Oh, you see my fanny briefly in a swimming pool.
Oh, in a swimming pool. All right.
That sounds...
But it's on peak.
It's going over and through an inner tube,
so it is quite featured.
May I ask Nick a question?
Please.
How would you compare it to
my favorite comedy of yours, Zodiac?
It's a little more mumblecore
than Zodiac.
Keep talking.
I think that's the only direction in mumblecore.
Yeah.
You got it.
And you're in a world also that's out in theaters
with our future guest Lake Bell.
It is.
Yeah, Lake Bell.
And starred in it.
Wrote and directed it and starred in it.
And she's good looking.
She's got it all. It's also funny and smart.
Yeah, she's quite annoying.
Fuck that lady.
She's quite irksome, that Lake Bell.
I said that wrong.
I meant, I'm like, fuck that lady.
She's everything in one nice package.
It's not better at all.
It's kind of sleazy, boys.
I want to jump in that lake.
That's upsetting.
I'm going to stop, but that's also out in limited release.
And you were in a movie that I loved called Smashed.
Indeed, thank you.
And Kings of Summer.
You're in everything that I like.
It's been a nice little run, and I think that's it.
That's all the talk?
You've run out of words?
Thanks, everybody.
And Jon Hamm taught you backstage how to play the Leonard Moulton game?
He did. He ran me through it quite concisely.
I was impressed with his explanation.
And you think you understand it? You're not confused?
Well, I wouldn't go that far.
My comprehension is not quite up to his elocution skills.
But we'll see
how I did.
And the panel nods.
As we do in podcasting.
John talks
faster than I listen.
Well, for
your reading pleasure, I brought a card
that has the rules
on it that was made by a fan.
Wow. All the rules are just one
business card.
All the business is on there.
Maybe, how about, Werner, would you like
to read it? I know you love to narrate things.
You played a plastic bag in a short.
That was
one of several occasions in which I
played a plastic bag.
The game is played in the style of Name That Tune,
replacing notes and song titles
with actors and film titles.
After picking a category,
players will be read clues from Leonard Maltin's review,
including the number of names listed by Leonard.
Finally, a game that's bleak.
It does sound quite hopeless
when you say it out loud.
When you say it out loud.
I think it is that
players must do these
things. They must. They are driven to
do so. They are not in control
of their own actions.
Players must bid how
many names they need
to name the movie.
Names are read from the bottom up
with the lowest bid named first.
After each bid,
the next player may bid less names
or challenge the bidder
to name that movie.
If the challenged player
correctly names the movie,
they receive a point.
If not, then the challenger
receives the point. Players may bid negative names. correctly names the movie they receive a point if not then the challenger receives
the point players may bid negative names a bid of negative two names indicates
you can provide the name of the film along with the top two actors in the
order listed by Leonard the Martinet who oversees this horrible
airless universe.
Thank you.
I may have embellished it
slightly towards the end.
Well, let me ask you about a wrinkle that I've
been discussing with a
person on Twitter. Is it time a wrinkle that I've been discussing with a person on Twitter.
Is it time for wrinkle chat?
Yes.
It's 7-17 time.
Everyone knows what that means.
For wrinkle chat.
It's like 4-20, but 7-17, and this is the wrinkle.
If you say negative names,
whatever amount of negative names you say, you do not
have to get them in the order listed
by Leonard. You just have to be able
to name names that he listed.
I see.
What do you think of that, Werner?
I feel as if this will
save some frustration on the part
of some people, but
cause frustration on the part of some other people but cause frustration on the part of some other people,
as most things in life will do.
New day, same problem?
Yes.
So it's kind of like religion in that aspect.
Exactly.
There are some people who find religion to be a great comfort,
and others find it to be
an empty fairy tale
which offers no respite
from the surety that we will all
end up in the cold ground.
And then if that's not enough,
somebody puts a big rock on top of you.
Insult to injury,
if you ask me.
That seems unnecessary.
Like something Walt said to Jesse the other night,
but I'm not going to say what it was.
It was just very unnecessary.
Dramatically unnecessary.
Let's play the Leonard Maltin game.
Let's really do it.
Let's not just sit here and talk about it.
Now, Nick, people fashion signs that are sometimes movie-related,
but they are supposed to have their names in them, like name tags.
And I'd like you and John and Werner to just go and select the person you'd like to play for
based on their name tag, and then just take it from them, wrestle it from their bosom,
based on their name tag, and then just take it from them,
wrestle it from their bosom,
and then bring it back here to me to demolish.
No, you can hang on to it, John.
And while they do that, we'll do this.
We'll be right back.
All right, we're back.
Nick was asking me if we resolved the wrinkle.
What do you think of the wrinkle, John?
Do you think that it would be more fun for you to just, you know, because then the negative name bidding would get pretty high, probably,
five or six. Because it's hard.
It should be hard. Yeah.
That's, of course, the best player
would say that, the super champion.
So you feel, John Hamm, as if
the players must
suffer at the mercurial whims
of Leonard Maltin and his
credit ordering.
Yes.
Fair enough.
That seems fair.
It does seem fair.
Nick, could you hold up your name tag?
I'm going to make a vine of it.
Who are you playing for?
What's the name on that thing?
All the President's Men.
What is that?
Oh, so his name is Al, right?
Yeah.
Okay, good one, Al.
All the President's Men. John, what? Yeah. Okay, good one, Al. Al, the president's man.
John, what do you got?
I am playing for Tony.
Tony, the little thing there.
Big Tony crowd.
I got to move over here for Werner.
You may call me Ron.
You may call me Ron.
This is Sarah the Barbarian.
She has drawn over,
she has defaced this Conan the Barbarian poster,
and which the letters match up fairly well.
All right, so that's who you guys are playing for.
And we should probably start with Werner because he was our winner two weeks ago.
That's why he's back tonight.
He's always gracious about coming back.
Despite his many projects, he's, you know, like,
it was funny, when I asked him to do the show again,
he texted me and even put in
I'm driving and then a smiley face.
So I thought
that was really...
Did you notice that the smiley face was winking?
Because I was...
So not smiling. I was being very naughty.
Alright, so
we'll start with
Naughty Pants, and then we'll go
to give Nick a chance
to kind of acclimate
and figure out what's going on here. We'll go to
Mr. Ham, and then we'll
go to
you, Nick.
I guess I should use this.
Just put the phone down.
I don't need the app. I memorized all of it.
Celebrating a birthday today, Werner,
is several
directors like Neil Blomkamp
and
a couple other ones
I can't remember right now. But also
Kyle Chandler, actor Kyle Chandler.
Yes.
Very good actor.
Have you worked with him, fellas?
I have.
Yeah, what did you work with him in?
On the Day the Earth Stood Still.
Oh, okay.
Not the original.
Yes, we both were killed in that movie.
Oh, nice.
Coach Taylor and Don Draper both died
in The Day the Earth Stood Still.
That's a good potential future category.
But for tonight, we've got Kyle Chandler movies,
because it's his birthday,
but then other options are from
at the bottom of queue on Twitter suggested,
France says ha.
Hmm. And that's the films of Jerry Lewis.
And then N. Deimler, D-E-I-M-L-E-R,
suggested, Beat Me Up, Scotty.
And that's films where Simon Pegg punches someone.
So which one of those three categories
appeals to the great Werner Herzog?
In honor of
Kyle Chandler's
birthday and the episode
of Friday Night Lights that I directed
that was never allowed to air.
People must have been in a tragic loss
in that episode. It involved the been a tragic loss. Yeah, what happened in that episode?
It involved the ghost of Klaus Kinski
appearing to Buddy Garrity
and inspiring him to drag his car dealership over a mountain.
Why would they not air that?
That sounds so accessible.
We were $1 billion over budget.
Craft services, we were forced to offer Kirkland water.
Oh, that's not bad.
The year is 2005.
Three and a half stars from Leonard for this movie that he says is...
It won, like, three Oscars.
And he also says that it is...
It's a tough one to pull out another clue.
Oh, the director co-wrote it with two other people.
Sounds like a real team effort.
And Leonard lists a real team effort. And Leonard lists a mirror, nine names.
How many names do you think you can get it in?
W-H?
I believe I can name that film in seven names.
Knocked off two, John.
Six.
Oof.
You see what's happening here?
I do.
I know you don't like games, Ron.
So you can go lower or ask John to name it
if you think he might fail.
Five names and I'll start from the bottom.
Yeah.
Or you can go even lower than five. I'll start from the bottom. Yeah. Or you can go
even lower than five. I'll say four.
Yeah.
Came to play.
Name that
movie.
Alright. Four
names.
The category is Kyle Chandler is in this movie.
And three and a half stars from Leonard
from 2005. Three Oscars.
Director co-wrote it with
two other people. And the four names
are Kyle Chandler.
Sorry about that.
He's the ninth bill person.
This game is tough.
And then Jamie Bell,
Evan Park,
and Andy Serkis
from 2005.
And now I say the movie?
Say the name of it.
Just out loud.
King Kong. that's correct
good night
thank you
we are
emerged champions
we're playing
to two points.
But so far, you have a huge lead.
Halfway home.
Because you're one point away from the win.
You're halfway there.
And that means for the next round, we're going to start with,
since you were challenged by John's challenge.
What Academy Awards did King Kong win?
Oh, let me look it back up again.
Technical awards.
Yeah, for sure.
It got that same three that Star Wars got
and Close Encounters got.
Didn't it win for longest screenplay?
I'm not going to look it up.
I'm not going to look it up.
I'm in a hurry.
I'm in a big hurry here.
The ultimate diss.
All right, I'll look it up.
I'm just having fun.
A fun roast of Peter Jackson.
Sound mixing, sound editing.
You'd be surprised.
Those people don't even meet each other how different they are
but they can hear each other
at all times
yes
and visual effects
were the three that won
it had amazing visual effects, it was the story of people who wanted to bring
a monkey back to New York
and didn't give a shit about the fact that there were dinosaurs
on the scene we know, we've seen monkeys, not ones that big, but why are they excited
about the crazy flying insects? The dinosaurs are just standard size. Who could possibly
care? They would scoop them up if they were extra tiny. People needed the diversion during the Great Depression,
and those horrible silent films were not getting the job done.
I think Werner gets to go first again,
because who challenged Nick?
I challenged Nick.
Oh, you did?
Okay, so John gets to go first,
and then we'll go to Werner.
Sure.
It's a complicated...
You don't need
to understand it.
That's why you win. You're so focused
on the real issues. That is... No, it isn't.
Your options are Cars 2 Judgment Day...
I would like to point out the fact that the little doll
that I was given has a butthole.
It's got an X on it.
That's a butthole.
So that means it's a butthole on the internet.
Or no, it's an asterisk.
Yeah.
One of the threads is blonde.
It's been bleached.
I guess.
Perhaps it is like a Build-A-Bear situation where the child is allowed to add the rectum itself.
Isn't that a thing at Build-A-Bear?
The child is allowed to select the heart to put in the bear.
Can you imagine a situation where a child would deny the heart to the bear?
Say, no, I do not wish to put the heart to the bear. Say, no, I do not
wish to put a heart in this bear.
Doesn't really need one.
It's just a stuffed animal.
Yes, it doesn't need a real
bear heart.
Why are they doing this gruesome act?
Parents should be outraged.
In Grizzly Man.
Yes.
Excellent segue.
How big do you think that bear's heart was?
Not as big as its capacity
to flay and destroy human beings.
It was a real Grinch situation.
That was another train coming into the station
right on time.
Cars 2, Judgment Day.
That's movies that are animated and a character dies.
Yeah.
It's a heavy category.
The Thin Red Line.
That's movies that have a misspelled word in the title.
So it has like a red line under it.
Isn't it funny that when you type the word podcast, it still has a red line under it. Isn't it funny that when you type the word podcast
it still has a red line under it? They refuse
to acknowledge. Like
on iTunes they don't acknowledge the word
podcast but that's where you get them.
The third
option is at the Amanda Graves
suggested 16 candles.
Oh wait, I didn't load one in for that. How about
Manti
Taibo suggested
we are farmers
and that's movies that take place on a farm.
Doug, may I ask...
Please pick that one.
Don't influence the other player's decision, sir.
Did they write out all the bumper bumps?
I think they did.
So I just decided to let the audience do them.
What do you think, John?
The dead cartoon one.
Okay.
This cartoon where somebody dies
got three and a half stars from Mr. Maltin.
He calls it wonderfully imaginative
and touching and exciting
and consistently surprising.
And he lists six names.
What year was it?
2009.
I don't think I said it.
How many names? How many names does he list? He's got six names. What year was it? 2009. I don't think I said it. How many names?
You've got six names.
2009.
Somebody dies in this animated film.
No one really dies. I mean, they're cartoons.
No, no, no.
The person who did the voice
was murdered. Was, no, no. The person who did the voice was murdered.
Was murdered.
For authenticity.
And it wasn't even a murder. That wasn't even
the cause of death in the movie.
After he finished looping, they murdered him.
Seems severe.
Six names. Oh, okay.
He took them all.
I can name this film film It's not your turn
Oops, I do apologize
I thought you were saying
Just because you're German
You should want to follow rules
I thought
That's kind of your guy's thing
I thought you were saying
Six names as a bid
Just pay attention
You were saying six names
As a desperate
Stalling tactic
Just pay attention.
Jesus.
Nick, it's your turn.
I'm sorry for our German
friend. No, that's not right. It's Werner's turn.
Just pay attention. It's your turn.
Please, follow
the rules.
You people.
Was I correct in my initial assumption
that six names was your bid?
Yes.
You're gonna stick with five?
I can name that film in negative one names.
Baller.
Now, the wrinkle comes into play.
The moment we have all feared.
It is time.
So that means
that...
If you go negative two or more, you have to name
the correct names in the
order as listed by Leonard from the top.
Werner Herzog, name that film.
There you go.
The film is Up,
and the actor is Ed Asner.
And I'm guessing
you love that movie. Of course I do.
Because Ed Asner's wife
dies in the first ten minutes.
That's correct.
And then the fun begins.
And that is correct.
Werner Herzog's on the board.
I have been spared the wrath of the wrinkle.
And now we start with...
Wow.
We start with John
and then move to Nick this time.
Because the order changes like that.
Every time.
At fooled you twice
suggested gladiator
and that's
cannibals movies
movies with cannibals
and then
I hate saying this out loud but I'm going to say it one more time
and then I'm going to erase it
cuntatron suggested
it's a woman I met her
and
she's half robot and half anyway suggested... It's a woman. I met her. And, uh...
She's half robot and half... Anyway.
She suggested
Arch Enemies, because we were in
St. Louis at the time. So that's movies where
landmarks get destroyed.
United States landmarks
get destroyed. And then this is one of my favorite
categories in a while. At Topiary Skeleton
suggested Million Dollar Baby get destroyed. And then this is one of my favorite categories in a while. At Topiary Skeleton suggested
Million Dollar Baby
Arm. And that's
movies with male frontal
nudity.
Which one of those would you like to play, John?
I think we have our choice. It's
Million Dollar Baby Arm. Of course it is.
Why
would that not get chosen?
Two stars
from Leonard for this movie that has a
baby arm in it.
The year is 2011.
He says
about this movie that it takes place in
Manhattan.
You can name that movie
in negative two names. Wait a second.
What is happening?
I can name that movie in negative two names.
Wait a second.
What is happening?
Oh, Nick, I'm sorry about this.
You're in a tough spot.
Tough wrinkle.
I'll have the rest of the film description. All right.
I just read the whole thing.
I think that was all the clues I was going to give.
Oh, no, I'll give one more.
Right?
Because I'd given one.
Did you give any clues?
The one clue was that it was set in Manhattan?
Yes.
I'll give one more.
Because I usually give two or three.
That's very decent of you.
You gave us a year.
The other one I'm going to give you is
hailed in some quarters as brilliant.
Which you probably wouldn't say
if you thought it was brilliant.
Hailed in some quarters as brilliant.
And I joined those quarters.
In quarters or corners?
Quarters.
I see.
I apologize.
Those quarters may indeed include corners.
And Leonard lists a mere four names.
And Jon Hamm has already leapt to negative two.
All right, so it's not up to me to end the sequence.
How do I pass to...
You just say, Jon Hamm, name that movie,
then he's going to name it, he's going to name the top two.
What if Werner wants to go negative three?
Werner is blocked at this point.
This is something that must happen.
Yes.
I call it the Sam Levine scenario.
Yes.
Where sometimes the best player doesn't get to participate.
I am powerless to overcome this block.
But the good news is it'll just cause a three-way tie
if John does it correctly,
and then we'll go one more exciting round.
Okay, then.
Jon Hamm, please, by all means.
Please tell us what we all know you're going to say.
The movie is Shame,
and the first actor is Michael Fassbender,
and the second actor is Cary Mulligan.
Yes, yes, and yes.
Woo!
Another cap-topping.
Okay, so now, since we have a three-way tie,
we're going to start with...
Werner was left out of that particular skirmish.
Sadly, yes.
So you get to start,
and then we will go to the challenger, Nick Offerman.
And this is the tiebreaker, which is Asparagus P.
Which means I'm going to read
the entire review
out loud, and then
the bidding begins. So it just
becomes a game of negative names
and who can go deepest.
And this, if I may,
this is a scenario wherein
the kindness of
a wrinkle can save no one.
Understood.
Three stars from Leonard for this movie
from 1988
that he calls a dynamite action
yarn about a NYC cop
who just happens to be visiting LA
in a high rise when
it's commandeered by terrorist
thieves.
Great action scenes and stunts with
Richard Edlund's special effects and
a perfect part for Willis.
What you
talking about?
Who plays cat and mouse with bad
guy Rickman.
Married only by over...
Married by...
Marred only by over-length
and too many needlessly stupid supporting characters.
They got pretty dumb in that movie.
A lot of stuff doesn't get taken care of
because of how dumb everybody is.
And it's followed by two sequels, of course.
And Leonard wrote that before he knew there'd be more.
Fair enough.
Yes.
This bespectacled tyrant still lacks the ability
to see into the future.
There is some hope of crushing him yet.
Although I bet this app started after.
There had already been yet another diehard.
Maybe time to update.
Update your app, Mr. Malton.
No idea
what that voice was.
It was a sort of
country time Bane.
Just Bane
appearing on Hee Haw.
He's relaxing by the old swimming hole.
I just for some reason had a picture of Bane
enjoying some lemonade.
Absolutely.
By the old swimming hole.
When life gives you lemons,
go back into the darkness.
Leonard Liz.
Sixteen names.
Here we go.
The bidding begins with me.
I can name that film in negative four names.
Yippee!
Son of a bitch
Yeah so
Please swear into your microphone
Son of a bitch
How many
Do you think you could go deeper Nick
Or do you want to just hope that Werner is
Showboating
As he did with
Fitzcarraldo.
Which, uh,
was it the original that had the guy from Good Times?
I know what you mean,
but I'm gonna say no more.
Werner Herzog, name that film.
You were hoping it'd go five?
I didn't know what I was hoping for.
All hope has been wrung out of me
by the looming specter of Leonard Maltin.
Rung out of me by the looming specter of Leonard Maltin.
The kindness of a wrinkle will be of no respite.
Indeed.
I believe is what you said.
I am beyond the wrinkle's rescue.
That's the name of the third Hobbit movie.
I thought it was a I thought it was a
Sharpay rescue service
It's
It sticks with you
Takes a while
It's a thinker
I see
It's a real Rodin
I have time for two more It's a real Rodin.
I have time for two more.
Four names, four negative names.
What's the film called?
It is called Die Hard.
Yes, I cannot confirm. Che chew that one over
Bruce Willis
hey Warner
do you think you would
recognize
do you think you would
recognize
Silverado
if the whole movie
were described to you
no
you'd probably also
get it confused
with Tombstone
perhaps alright I beg your pardon No. You'd probably also get it confused with Tombstone?
Perhaps.
All right.
I beg your pardon.
There's a young lady who's saying something.
Silverado or Tombstone?
Tombstone's the best movie ever. Either answer is insane.
It's the best movie where Val Kilmer flips little cups on his fingers.
It's definitely the best of those.
Bruce Willis, I'm sorry, go ahead.
Yes, I am your host.
Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang was pretty good.
Are we talking in terms of best movie ever, contenders?
No, movies where Val Kilmer flips things on his fingers.
As was Top Gun.
Go ahead.
Bruce Willis.
And who could forget Real Genius?
Real Genius, sorry.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Please, Werner, go ahead.
Top Secret!
It's funny because the best movie ever
is clearly The Island of Dr. Moreau,
which also stars Val Kilmer
and someone perverting nature.
Who's your second build?
MacGruber?
How deep is the Val Kilmer barrel Alan Rickman
here's where it gets tricky
talk us through it
we want to hear the doors into your mind
there are two actors I am envisioning
also an actress
the actress had very little to do in this film the two actors I am envisioning. Also an actress. The actress had very
little to do in this film. The two actors
had more to do.
I am going to say
Reginald Vell
Johnson and Alexander Gudnov.
So you're going with Bruce Willis,
Alan Rickman,
Reginald Vell Johnson
from Good Times.
He played
Kenny.
And Alexander
Gudinov.
That's close enough.
I'm sad to say that answer's not
Gudinov.
Because they fucking threw Bonnie Bedelia in there.
Her agent is a powerhouse.
She's third billed.
That means, who challenged him?
Nick challenged?
Nick is our winner.
Holy Christ.
Magnificent performance
I feel as if we have been hustled by Nick Offerman
That he showed up with his own Leonard Maltin guide
In a velvet lined case
Where's Al at?
Where's Al?
Come on, get your prizes, Al.
Congratulations.
Do you want your shitty name tag back?
Okay, we can hang on to this?
Okay, great.
I feel like...
I'm just going to put this.
I've got a special...
Did you guys have shitheads
on the back of your business over there,
do you think?
Oh, John's does, yes.
And that's... John and Werner are two of the your business over there, do you think? Oh, John's does, yes. And that's, you know, John is,
John and Werner are two of the best players,
Nick, so you really
stepped up to the...
We all get lucky sometimes.
We need, what was the name
on the poster?
Sarah. Sarah. So if Sarah
could come up here and just write down a shithead
for me on this piece of paper. Anybody
you want me to call a shithead. me on this piece of paper. Anybody you want me to call a
shithead. I know you didn't want to
desecrate that beautiful poster by writing
scribbling something illegible
on the back of it, because you know I can't read that, right?
Let me fill time
with a fun fact. Did you know that
Ron Perlman was in this update
of Conan the Barbarian?
No, you didn't.
I did not.
Do you have anything to plug,
Werner, before we get out of here?
After your
very sad defeat today?
Yes, please
everyone watch the new
CBS sitcom Mom, which
I've directed several episodes on.
Who did you have more fun working with?
Anna Faris or Allison Janney?
Allison Janney. She is a lover
of life.
I don't want to
know about the other one now.
She likes life okay.
Anna Faris. She liked life okay. Anna Faris.
She liked life okay.
Dead too soon.
I don't know why I'm eulogizing Anna Faris.
Doug, you should have said
dead at exactly the right time.
John, you've got five or six movies coming out?
You've got them backed up on the runway?
No.
A Million Dollar Arm comes out in May.
That's why you had to pitch it.
Jen and I are kick-starting a documentary
that's about a friend of ours who grew up in the circus.
He's actually doing a show down at the Taper right now. It's called Humor
Abuse. His father was a clown
and he grew up and ran away
from the circus. So we're making a documentary
out of it. So check it out on Kickstarter.
It's under Humor Abuse.
It's really
going to be really good. Star Trek Into
Darkness.
Also Star Trek Into Darkness
coming out on DVD. Let's blow the shit
out of the water, you guys.
I am for reals.
Nick has got his book out
that I don't have anymore
because we gave it away. What's the title of it again?
Paddle Your Own Canoe.
One Man's Fundamentals
for Delicious Living. I should have let you say it the first time. Paddle your own canoe One man's fundamentals For delicious living
I should have let you say it the first time
That's much more effective
They're flying off the shelves
And Parks and Rec comes back
Very soon
Next week
Thank you
It's a quality program
And find somebody up there likes me
and wallow in its oddness.
It's an extremely odd movie.
It's quite enjoyable.
I get behind it.
I have fun watching it, for sure.
There's a lady named Megan Mullally
who's incredibly funny.
What?
And has shapely poots.
I wish we had more time, you guys,
for a follow-up question on that.
But apologies to Put Your Hands Together.
We went a few minutes over.
But such a fun show.
One more time for all of my guests, Werner Herzog, Jon Hamm, and Nick Offerman.
Hey, can you come back in two weeks, Nick?
I think I'm playing Tallahassee in two weeks. He's busy in two weeks.
But that would be your option if you wanted to come back, because when you win
you can return.
That's what happened with Werner. He won
a couple weeks ago, so now he's back tonight.
Doug speaks the truth.
I definitely would like to come back.
You just might be busy. I might have to take a
rain check in two weeks.
Yeah, we'll discuss it.
It's ridiculous that I would
excel in any way
in a game of chance
involving movie knowledge
unless we get into John Wayne
or the bridge on the River
Kwai.
Okay, let's do it right now.
More apologies to put your
hands together because
I want to know how negative can
you go on the names on
Bridge Over the River Kwai? Not at all.
Oh, okay.
Not even Alec fucking Guinness?
Negative one. Okay.
I could give you three
entertaining guesses.
Peter
Lorry is in every seven
out of ten films in that.
Okay, we're really doing this. I'm sorry.
I thought we gave really doing this. I'm sorry.
I thought we gave up on it.
Peter Lorre.
Bridge.
Not a fucking chance.
Over.
But Peter Silverstein.
I think it's what I'm used to.
That's just playing the numbers.
The app won't even acknowledge that that's a movie.
I'm pretty sure it is.
I whistle it all the time.
On the river.
On the river.
No, but Bridge... Oh, okay, I get it.
Were you about to say, but bridges go over things?
No, I was about to say that just the word bridge
should have brought up, you know, that and some other titles,
and nothing came up, so that's why I think it's not going to come up at all.
It might be a bad internet connection in here,
because bridge on... Bridge on isn't doing shit. it's not going to come up at all. It might be a bad internet connection in here. Because Bridge On
Bridge On isn't doing shit.
Wait.
Okay.
I don't think that's the right one.
I think that's from The Great Escape.
I think, yeah.
I think you hijacked it.
I think you hijacked it.
Is that it? Was whistling a thing in movies back then?
It must have been like a thing.
Dave Bilderberg.
It was very popular. Whistling's been too much of a thing in movies back then? It must have been like a thing. Dave Bilderberg. It was very popular.
Whistling's been too much of a thing on Douglass movies.
It's weird that you guys even got into it
because the normal whistler isn't here.
Isn't it nice to hear it have a melody for a change?
Yes, it is.
Thank you guys for being here.
Thank you to UCB.
Let me grab a picture of you guys as we go to the closing theme.
And as always, Bruce Springsteen is a shithead.
I just threw the thing down after I said it.
That's not good for you.
That's got to be bad luck to say that.
And then, of course, texting while driving is a shithead.
Now it's time for us to watch another talking Heisman. say that. And then, of course, texting while driving is a shithead.
