Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey everybody, that was Motion City Soundtrack doing a cover of the Doug Loves Movies theme by Hard and Firm. Follow them on Twitter at at Motion City Music. Motion City Soundtrack was too long a name for Twitter. My name is Doug, and I love movies. It's Tuesday, June 29, 2010,
Starting point is 00:00:42 and we are taping in front of a live audience at the Upright Citizens Regain Theater in Los Angeles. As always, right before Comedy Death Ray, it's free to get in to the podcast taping, but priority always goes to the people who have Comedy Death Ray tickets. So that's an F to the Y to the I if you're planning to visit us in the future. Shout out to all the podcast listeners who came out to my shows last weekend in Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky.
Starting point is 00:01:20 Hey, Dan Spangler. And Monday night's show in Oklahoma City. Yesterday was Doug Benson Day in Oklahoma. True story. It was proclamated by the governor of the state, who is apparently not familiar with my work, but was excited enough that I was coming into town that we were able to call it Doug Benson Day,
Starting point is 00:01:42 and it was the best Doug Benson Day I've ever had. And there were enough podcast listeners in the audience in Oklahoma City last night that we actually played a round of the Leonard Maltin game with Graham Elwood was there with me, and he played against people in the audience, and he beat three dudes in a row, and then the fourth guy that played
Starting point is 00:02:02 managed to take down Graham Elwood, and he won a fabulous prize. So, hopefully as I go out on the road in the future, and there's enough people in the audience that are fans of the podcast, we could do more of that in my shows. Because normally when I'm
Starting point is 00:02:17 doing a show, if I just bust out my Leonard Maltin app and start asking people how many names, they're just going to be like, what? Somebody's breathing hard enough that it sounds like there's a dog in the audience. Maybe they just ran in. I saw Night and Day
Starting point is 00:02:36 where were we? In Lexington. We had some time in the afternoon. Graham Elwood and I went and saw Night and Day. It wasn't bad at first, but wasn't good at last. And I'm pretty good at paying attention during movies.
Starting point is 00:02:55 Sometimes I'll nap or be too high but I watched the whole thing and I'm pretty sure that there isn't a character named Day in it. There is a character named Night, but what's her name? Cameron Diaz.
Starting point is 00:03:11 She's not named Day. So I don't know why it's called Night and Day. I mean, there are some scenes that take place in the daytime. But there's no scenes that have anyone in a knight's costume. So, uh... It's very odd to me. Like, I thought that was a terrible title, even if they are characters named those two things.
Starting point is 00:03:34 Like, really? Knight and Day? You know, Will and Grace? Um, anyway. Let's see. What else did I want to say before we bring my guests out? Nothing. Let's bring my guests out. These are two first-timers to the show,
Starting point is 00:03:52 and I'm very excited to have them here because they are two regulars on one of my favorite TV comedies now and of all time. From the office, please welcome Oscar Nunez and Kate Flannery, everybody. Oscar, you sit here on stage with us rather than in the audience. Speak into the microphone the whole time if you can.
Starting point is 00:04:30 There's our manager walking by, Oscar. Can you recognize him? Yeah, just say everything into the microphone. Even though it's a small theater and everyone could hear us if we didn't talk into the microphone, we have to remember the podcast listeners, right? The people we can't see. Yes.
Starting point is 00:04:45 Or smell. This looks like they belong on the bridge on Star Trek, like, what? Five. In case you don't recognize the names or the voices so far, Kate plays Meredith on The Office. It has a much friendlier demeanor in real life.
Starting point is 00:05:02 Very nice lady that I always enjoy running into. A little happier than I am on the show. Yeah, yeah. She drinks probably a little bit more than you. A little bit. And has more sex for steak coupons than you do. This is true.
Starting point is 00:05:17 And Oscar plays Oscar on the show. Who is not gay in real life. I don't know if, you know, you're not defensive about it. No, I'm not. You're totally down with it. Because it's not like you're on a show where you're... It's not like you're on a show where you have...
Starting point is 00:05:36 If you were on a show where you were making out with dudes all the time, you'd probably, in real life, be always saying, I'm not gay. But since Oscar's not really that gay of a character, as gay characters go... No, it's pretty tame. Oscar's not really that gay of a character as gay characters go. It's pretty tame. It's not like Queer as Folk. A couple of those guys were straight. It's like, what?
Starting point is 00:05:52 That was intense. That show's intense. Your scenes with your boyfriend in the office, you're just in a fight or something or holding hands at most. Doug, where do these guys have their names? I'm glad that you asked that because people that come to these tapings are crazy. They just started wearing name tags for no reason.
Starting point is 00:06:12 And a dollar bill over here. Someone has a dollar bill tapped in. Yeah, I think a lot of people just put together an ad hoc name tag because they think of it while they're standing in line and they're just like, what can I tape or affix to myself with my name on it? And it worked. It got our attention.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Congratulations. But the idea is at the end of the show, when we play the Leonard Maltin game, I have the people on stage with me play for people in the audience. So I said, hey, could you guys start wearing name tags so it's easier for me to pick out contestants from the audience?
Starting point is 00:06:42 Ask and you shall receive. And that's what's been happening. And now people are name tags to my live shows out on the road. And there's no game and no prizes. They just look like a retard. They just look like they need everyone to know their name at all times.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Just in case something happens. So, Oscar, you were in last summer's Blockbuster The Proposal. And I'd like to know, yeah, sure. Thank you. I'd like to know once and for all, who's nicer, Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds, or Betty White? If you had to pick one.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Ooh, a nice off. And they're all three really nice people. That's my point. You know what? I'm going to go with Betty only because she has the time. She's put in the time. So she's being nicer longer. She's being on earth longer.
Starting point is 00:07:30 So she's being nicer longer. Yeah, she's got more reason to be cranky and mean to people and she's still putting in the time as a nice person. That's her thing, Doug. She plays blue and then she's nice and people are like,
Starting point is 00:07:38 woo, we like that combination. You know? Because she's a really nice person but she'll say like crazy things. Yeah, she's great on roasts and stuff like that. Yeah, exactly. And you have a scene where you strip. You're a male
Starting point is 00:07:54 stripper in the movie. A little bit, yeah. You can clap for his nudity. Come on. How much training did you have to do for that? As a stripper or did you have to work out a lot? Well, getting up at 6 a.m., jogging, three miles a day, push-ups, sit-ups, all things I did not do. Did you see what I did?
Starting point is 00:08:18 I built up and then I went the other way. I did nothing. Because that was the joke, is that you weren't in the greatest way. I did nothing. I was... Because that was the joke is that you weren't in the greatest shape. Thank you. But you also aren't a fat guy. You weren't fat or anything.
Starting point is 00:08:31 I wasn't fat but she saw me and she's like, no, this is not going to work. You are so hot. Please gain weight and all that. I'm like, what?
Starting point is 00:08:37 I got to stop. She's like, yeah. So then I just slacked off a little bit. All right. that's cool And you had to shoot that in Alaska? Yeah, they shot some stuff in Alaska My stuff was shot in Boston
Starting point is 00:08:52 Subbing for Alaska? Or... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, subbing for Alaska Wow Yeah That's kind of weird Have you seen the movie? Yeah
Starting point is 00:09:02 Remember... I mean, I could have known that much about it without having seen it because I saw you on a talk show talking about it, but I did actually see the movie because I fly a lot. You know where they... I'm holding for the laugh.
Starting point is 00:09:22 And here we go. And you know where they got married, that beautiful house, that big, beautiful place by the water? That's real, and the mountains behind it, that was dropped in from Alaska. Wow. So that was Boston with the mountains from Alaska. So ILM did a lot of work on the proposal to make it look, that's pretty cool. Yeah, but that was all Boston. It was very cool. I'm disappointed by that. I cool yeah but that was all Boston it was very cool
Starting point is 00:09:45 I'm disappointed by that I didn't know that it's really true yeah it was up this place Manchester by the Sea which is beautiful old money it's just gorgeous
Starting point is 00:09:53 it worked alright yeah fair enough I'm not gonna lie I'm not I don't know what you expected I'm coming
Starting point is 00:10:00 yes it's from Alaska we were no this is it we shot in Boston. That's what happened. I don't know how many podcast listeners I have in Alaska, but I've been there, and it's all right. But if you were shooting a movie there, I was expecting some stories about being stuck in Alaska. Instead, you're swinging it up in Boston.
Starting point is 00:10:23 I saw a movie about Alaska called The Fourth Kind, which I thought was real, and now people are like, no, it's fake, so I'm totally bummed because it was the scariest movie that I'd ever seen, but it wasn't real anyway. Wow, I haven't seen that. Have you seen that, Kate? I have not seen it, but he can't stop talking about it. He's obsessed.
Starting point is 00:10:40 So it must be... Has anyone here seen The Fourth Kind? Anybody? Yes. Mila Jojovich Is in it Wow Does she fight anyone Before the movie She comes down the road
Starting point is 00:10:51 And she looks to the camera And she's like You're about to see a movie That's really disturbing And scary I'm like what Play the movie I've never seen this before
Starting point is 00:10:58 She's like Everyone It's really I'm like What the hell She makes a speech Before every screening Before the movie
Starting point is 00:11:03 No but in this movie She walks down this road And talks to the camera And says be careful It's very scary I'm like, what the hell? She makes a speech before every screening? Before the movie. No, in this movie. She walks down this road and talks to the camera and says, be careful. It's very scary. They've interviewed people, right? It's this whole thing. Sounds awful. Sounds like the worst kind.
Starting point is 00:11:30 It's the fourth kind of movie. There good it's really good excellent and then the fourth it's really bad it was so scary so kate i ran into you in philadelphia where you're from yes you did and you were there i was there doing comedy at helium and you were you were there doing it there as well. You do a show, a two-person act called The Lampshades. Yes, I was doing The Lampshades there. We did a little mini-tour the last couple weeks. We were in Philly and New Brunswick, New Jersey, while Rutgers was not in session. And then we played New York and Chicago.
Starting point is 00:12:04 And so now you're done? You're not going to do any more dates? No, we continue. We're playing Tiki Oasis next month. I don't know. What's Tiki Oasis? It's this crazy thing in San Diego where everybody who's into Tiki gets all Tiki'd out and Tiki crazy. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:16 There's a lot of greasers. There are people that are into Tiki? Oh, totally. There's a whole Tiki culture. My boyfriend's into Tiki. Yeah, my boyfriend's into Tiki. I don't know. It's kind of like a whole tiki culture. My boyfriend's into tiki. Yeah, my boyfriend's into tiki. I don't know. It's kind of like a whole retro flashback.
Starting point is 00:12:29 I don't know. We've never done it before. But it's more like greasers and, you know, I don't know, chicks who get their hair done. Lots of pencil skirts and platform shoes. I don't know. That guy, Cooper, what's his name? Oh, Coop, the artist.
Starting point is 00:12:44 He's sort of big in that Yeah French Anyway It was good to see you In Philadelphia What's that? Yeah it was fun
Starting point is 00:12:49 Running into you I actually saw you At my brother's bar Which is right around The corner from me The family bar When I heard that There was a bar
Starting point is 00:12:55 Called Flannery's A few blocks away From where I was And that you were there I was on it And I missed Butch Patrick By minutes I guess Yeah
Starting point is 00:13:02 But Eddie Munster Was actually at my show At the club Which was so weird Because I did a morning show And he did by minutes I guess yeah Eddie Munster was actually at my show at the club which was so weird because I did a morning show and he did it then I guess does he live in Philly?
Starting point is 00:13:11 no he has a new girlfriend that lives there so he was promoting something in Philadelphia so he came to my show it was so weird but my brother's name is Butch
Starting point is 00:13:18 and he was promoting a show called Life's a Butch he's touring with and then you die right yours is better I said yours is better a butch. He's touring with Spot. And then you die. Yours is better.
Starting point is 00:13:29 I said he's traveling with Spot. Remember the dragon from under the stairs? He gave me a signed picture of himself as Eddie Munster in a coffin with his little
Starting point is 00:13:38 wolfy doll. And he wrote it to me. He carries those with him everywhere? Whips them out? Cut to Oscar night in 20 years. I was just thinking that. I'm like, that's so sad. With him everywhere Whips them out Cut to Oscar In 20 years The office right
Starting point is 00:13:46 I'm like That's so sad Cut to us in 60 years I was an accountant I played a thing Now Kate According to IMDB
Starting point is 00:13:57 Uh oh You were in a movie Called Life Without Dick I was And you played A character called Crampy Legs Party Goer. I love really specific but not
Starting point is 00:14:14 a name sort of characters in movie credits. Actually, they changed the name because in the script it was Party of Number One. So I kept saying, I'm Party of Number One. But it was actually a movie
Starting point is 00:14:24 with Sarah Jessica Parker and Harry Connick Jr. and Craig Ferguson and it went straight to cable and most of my lines were in the dark which is like so weird there was like a surprise party scene and I was like so excited to do it then I realized wait a minute most of my lines I'm behind a chair and all you see is like my party hat and then like when the lights come on I'm like sort of reaching for my legs sort of like selling the bit. Like, oh, I was the crampy legs girl. So stupid. But this was like 10 years ago and
Starting point is 00:14:51 Sarah Jessica Parker was red hot. Red hot. So it really changed my career. Who got you the gig? Actually, I knew the writer, Bix Cahill. He was a good friend, but obviously not a good enough friend to give me lines in the light because I realized, like,
Starting point is 00:15:06 don't take a part in the dark. Yeah, you could have just phoned that in. I know. I could have, actually. I could have. But I would never do that show business. You're a professional. You know how to be behind a chair with a hat on.
Starting point is 00:15:19 That takes years of training to be able to pull that off. It does. It was a really illustrious movie for her. She beat out three other girls for that part. She literally beat them. With the hat.
Starting point is 00:15:32 So, have you guys been to the other than the fourth kind, which apparently is the movie you won't stop talking about, Oscar, have you guys been to the seen anything else lately? It could be an old movie or a new movie, but
Starting point is 00:15:46 what's the last movie you saw that you can tell us about? To be honest, we just saw Steve Carell's new movie yesterday. You both just saw it? We both did. Despicable Me. That's awesome. It was awesome. I thought it was great.
Starting point is 00:16:03 It was a good movie. I thought it was great. He thought it was great. It was good. It was a good movie. It was good. It was good. I thought it was great. He thought it was good. It was a good movie. It's, you know, when you go to the premiere of your friend's movie, you're not going to walk out and go, what a sack of fucking... Hey. Never, ever, ever.
Starting point is 00:16:16 See you in a couple weeks. We're going to work in a couple weeks. It was great, right? It was a great movie. It was good. It was a great movie. It was. It was a great movie.
Starting point is 00:16:21 It was a great movie. It was. It was a great movie. It looks interesting to me just because from all the previews and the commercial, especially the commercials, you just go, what the fuck is this thing? Who are these little yellow corn nuts that keep talking and
Starting point is 00:16:39 punching each other and what does it have to do with anything? Those things were pretty funny. You know what happens with movies is you immediately compare them to Up, which was amazing and that's a have to do with anything those things were pretty fun you know what's what happens with movies is you immediately compare them to up which was amazing and that's a mistake to compare it to you all movies you compare to other you know the ones I animated animated computer animated yeah well of course despicable me isn't gonna make you cry like up does it have a really sweet sweet part like that toward the end it was the I don't want to get away I don't wanna get had a heart had a lot of heart a lot of heart a lot of
Starting point is 00:17:04 heart all right yeah well that's that's cool you guys got to go to the premiere it was pretty cool and actually we um we went to like my boyfriend's kids were um were there and they were so excited and um we went to kind of follow this little crowd um because it was like an older guy with like kind of long hair and we thought it was russell brand from behind but it wasn't it was like some 65 behind, but it wasn't. It was like some 65-year-old guy. I don't know who he was. I'm sure Russell Brand would be thrilled to hear that from behind he looks like a 65-year-old.
Starting point is 00:17:34 But that's probably accurate. It is. He can't deny it. Okay, so you saw that. We saw that. So what did you see as regular citizens of late? Okay, I actually joined this little series at the Academy, which is so weird because I used to,
Starting point is 00:17:51 when I worked at K. Mantellini, I used to wait on all these assholes that would go to those things, and now I'm one of the assholes that's going to those things. But they actually show all these, once a week they show a film noir movie, and it's kind of fun. It's kind of fun, listen to me. They show an old Shazam episode before like one of those like from the 40s yeah serial
Starting point is 00:18:10 yeah and then that's the word serial and then they have a cartoon and then they have um like they'll if anybody's still alive from the movie or anybody's related to anybody who's alive like they would make them stand up and everybody claps for somebody's great granddaughter or daughter um but they i i saw double indemnity and um they showed a mr magoo called triple indemnity they would make them stand up and everybody claps for somebody's great granddaughter or daughter. But I saw Double Indemnity and they showed a Mr. Magoo called Triple Indemnity. That was like the big tie-in. And then they had Edward G. Robinson's great grandkids
Starting point is 00:18:34 stand up and they looked like a nice guy. And they're like 89. A hundred. Double Indemnity, that's a great movie. It was great. It's a very entertaining movie. Especially to watch with a crowd because it's like Kate loves old movies
Starting point is 00:18:47 yeah but you can't get over like how clever all the dialogue is in that movie and how amazing Fred McMurray is at being an asshole I know right
Starting point is 00:18:54 I know it's shocking right I know you always remember those Disney movies but I used to wait on Billy Wilder and Billy Wilder wrote and directed wow
Starting point is 00:19:01 yeah he was really old when I waited on him and he was like thick Austrian accent and I always was really creeped out waited on him and he was like a thick austrian accent and i always was really creeped out because he had this like lawyer assistant friend who i felt like was sort of pimping out the third seat at the table well there always seemed like to be somebody who paid to have lunch with him it was sort of like it's a weird the giveaway was there was a line of people and waiting to sit and then so it's just like sort of creepy i don't know
Starting point is 00:19:22 something i don't know i felt protective of Billy Wilder because he was like 90 and he could barely walk and it was just like yeah he was pretty pretty feeble there towards the end
Starting point is 00:19:30 and I saw him a few times at like events where they'd show one of his movies and he'd talk afterwards and he's like fascinating and
Starting point is 00:19:36 amazingly talented person but also he was so old and feeble that it was like kind of a drag to listen to him tell stories
Starting point is 00:19:42 because they would all take forever and his accent was hard to understand he would always eat calves brains and eggs that was kind of a drag to listen to him tell stories. I know. Because they would all take forever. And his accent got really thicker. His accent was hard to understand. He would always eat calves, brains, and eggs every time he came in. They actually kept it on the menu just because of him. They should call it the Wilder.
Starting point is 00:19:57 Calves, brains, and eggs. The Wilder. That sounds like a sex move. What? Tell Doug who you waited on from West Side Story, the two guys, the Jet and the Shark. Oh, right. They eat together?
Starting point is 00:20:13 Well, they did because of this Academy series. They would have anybody who was alive show up, and they'd have the last four people who were alive from Gone with the Wind. One of them was an extra, whatever. So one time they had Bernardo and Riff from West Side Story. At the same table. It was like...
Starting point is 00:20:28 Yeah, it was just like... Wait, now Oscar, now it's seeming like you really are gay. If you're so excited about Riff and Bernardo from West Side Story. That's pretty cool. You're at the same table. That's pretty cool. I bet they were at the same table a lot of times in their lives.
Starting point is 00:20:46 They were kind of linked for their whole careers probably. But I have to say, working there, it killed a lot of time to have all these famous people in there because usually waiting on tables is really shitty. But when you have some faint recollection of some old person that you're waiting on, they actually are significant somewhere
Starting point is 00:21:03 in film or entertainment history. You know, I don't know. Did Barbara Stanwyck ever come in? She never did. I think she was dead before that. She's a shithead. Yeah. That's a callback to many episodes ago.
Starting point is 00:21:20 I said, no one's ever said this sentence, Barbara Stanwyck is a shithead. And then it became Willem Dafoe's a shithead and the rest is history. I think people might have said that. Let me quickly ask you guys, really? You think Willem Dafoe's got some detractors? I think someone might have said that.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Oh, you know, just out of anger for no good reason. Like The Last Temptation of Christ or something? I don't know. What's Last Temptation of Christ or something. I don't know. What's that Irish movie? He's a guy. Oh, so if he's a guy, somebody's been mad at him at some point.
Starting point is 00:21:51 That's a good point. He's not Betty White. No, he's not Betty White. Betty White is not a shithead. No, she's not a shithead. All right, I'd be remiss because it's in the news right now, so I want to just ask you about this little sidebar
Starting point is 00:22:03 because I do love TV even more than movies sometimes. Steve Carell leaving the office, it will still soldier on without him, correct? Well, I think people, they have it backwards. He's staying. Everyone else is leaving. The stipulation on the contract. It's becoming a one-man show. I like that.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Hey, what the? It's just him in his office looking at YouTube. It's becoming a one-man show. I like that. Hey, what the? That's what I've been saying. It's just him in his office looking at YouTube. That's it. Actually, NBC did say that they would go on without him. They asked this morning. There's like 15 characters. You know, there's so many great characters on that show.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Obviously, it'll be sad that he's gone, but I'm fascinated with how they'll write Michael Scott out of the show. That's going to be really interesting, because something crazy could happen to that character. Yeah, but we don't know if it's going to go another season without him. They were asking us this morning at the King Kong ride. They were asking us this morning. Wait a second. They were asking you at the King Kong ride?
Starting point is 00:22:55 Yes, they were. You don't have to work that hard to get the conversation back to movies. No, no, but I'm saying. But I'm saying but i'm saying we you went to the opening of the new king kong because the old king kong got burned down and now this one is in 3d which the old one was in 3d because it was a physical thing that moved around and they were asking us who would replace steve carell and i said gary coleman oh that's a really odd choice terrible it was terrible this terrible thing that is that's a terrible thing i actually said i actually said well i think charlie sheen's gonna be available just kidding what i thought it was like so you guys
Starting point is 00:23:35 went on the new king kong ride oh yeah we did we all we do is like stupid things that we get invited to it's like do we have that's not a stupid thing I was I would be all over that if I got invited yeah and why so how is it 3d what do they give you glasses yes but it's not but it's not a movie it's a physical thing that's happening you're in the right in the but you're in the tram the tram shakes and so you only put on the glasses for that part of the tram right sir and did you only do that part or did you do the whole tram right? They made it a shorter tram ride. They just took us to the new old New York area. And then they put you in this tunnel and the front closes in the back and then the thing takes place around you.
Starting point is 00:24:16 In 3D? Yes. Wow. 360 3D. And it's... 360 3D. He shakes the tram around. Yes.
Starting point is 00:24:23 In 360 3D. Does his breath still... Sorry. That was very exciting. I never heard of 360 3D. He shakes the tram around. Yes, in 360 3D. Does his breath still smell? Sorry, that was very exciting. I never heard of 360 3D. Never. I never heard of 360 1D. Does his breath still smell like bananas? No.
Starting point is 00:24:37 No, but you know something? I didn't, we got wet sometimes and I kept thinking like, is this supposed to be like- Oh, it's that good? It's a sexy king car. It's a very sensual. It's a very sensual. Flannery enjoyed it tremendously.
Starting point is 00:24:58 But I kept thinking like, I mean, did we just get like, you know, 360 3D peed on? Like, I couldn't figure out where the water was coming from. It's the dinosaur spit. It was supposed to be spit. From the dinosaurs that land right next to you. Okay, I couldn't figure it out.
Starting point is 00:25:10 Okay, I was, all right. I did turn my head. They added dinosaurs. Oh, yeah, it's a whole fight scene. And bugs, they have those big bugs. Yeah, it's a bug. It's a bug. That last King Kong movie drove me crazy
Starting point is 00:25:20 because everyone's like, let's go get that giant ape and bring him back to New York and put on a show with that giant ape what about the 50 million other fucking crazy prehistoric creatures like at least monkeys still exist there are things that don't even exist in life that they were like let's just fight those because we're trying to get the monkey because because the money's in the monkey all those other things. But that's, you know. They don't know how to market those things.
Starting point is 00:25:49 They know how to market the monkey. Doug, did I mention that I used to wait on Fay Wray? I swear to God. I actually mentioned that all day. I was like, that was like, I can't stop talking about waiting tables. I'm so sad. Well, you know, I want to make it more clear to everybody that you said, you know,
Starting point is 00:26:00 when you say that you waited tables at Cape Matalini, that sounds like you waited tables at a person. But it's a name of a restaurant on Wilshire. Where apparently old movie stars go. Yeah, because it's in Beverly Hills. And it's open 24 hours, right? Well, it's open late. It's open at like 3. And they have lots of things on the menu
Starting point is 00:26:18 named after people. And they're handicapped. They have a thing that you can roll right up. Oh, they have a ramp. They had a ramp Before everyone was Forced to have a ramp And if you need an assistant They'll even pull you up On a little rope
Starting point is 00:26:30 That's nice Yeah Because some people Are really frail They have a little Pulley system worked out I just want to say quickly That I saw
Starting point is 00:26:38 Coming back on a plane Fantastic Mr. Fox Which I had heard Lots of good things about For a long time So I was excited to see it And I enjoyed it It's like a Wes Anderson movie
Starting point is 00:26:50 But with With Animals Instead of people I saw it the other day My girlfriend really wanted to see it I saw it And did you like it?
Starting point is 00:26:56 I'm not crazy about that type of animation You didn't like the way The herky jerky movement And the Yeah and the whole The way the fur on their faces Doesn't stop moving ever And the whole thing
Starting point is 00:27:04 Had an orange color feeling. I found it disturbing. It was very orangey. I didn't see it. You didn't see it? You should watch it with the kids. I gotta see it. Actually, they just watched it the other night without me. I gotta go get them. You know what I did see recently, which was Exit Through the Gift Shop, and I felt like... How was that? It was really good,
Starting point is 00:27:20 but the first beginning, I'm like, I feel like I must be getting really old because the first part, I was getting a little seasick from the way it was shot. And I think I was sitting up closer in the theater than I normally sit. I'm more of like a back of the theater kind of gal. You know what I mean? Yeah, I do know what you mean. Back of the theater is where people are getting wet.
Starting point is 00:27:41 That's what's happening there. This movie was good, but it didn't make me wet But yeah I could see where Anytime a movie Has a lot of handheld Camera work You don't want to sit close Like I sat close
Starting point is 00:27:51 When I saw Cloverfield And I thought I never I still feel sick To this day Oh my god Forgive me For asking about the format
Starting point is 00:27:58 We got a lot to Speak Talk about foreign films Sure No it's Doug loves American movies And you can take Your fucking Pinko communist attitude talk about foreign films? Sure. No, it's Doug Loves American Movies. And you can take your fucking pinko communist attitude.
Starting point is 00:28:11 But that's what I, one thing I want to say I loved about Fantastic Mr. Fox is instead of swearing, because it's a kid's movie, but it's adult characters, they say cuss instead of swear words. But every time they say cuss,
Starting point is 00:28:23 you have to, I played the game of, well, what word would they mean instead? Because sometimes it'd be like, kiss my cuss instead of swear words. But every time they say cuss, I played the game of, well, what word did they mean instead? Because sometimes it'd be like, kiss my cuss, and other times it'd be like, cuss you. And you have to go, oh, that was fuck or ass. No, they said it. The characters said cuss.
Starting point is 00:28:36 So it wasn't like bleeped in, like cuss? I would like that. No, it was them. It was George Clooney. And Bill Murray. Most of the characters. Meryl Streep's character didn't swear ever. She didn't say cuss. She's not a big cusser. I thought that was really clever.
Starting point is 00:28:49 I thought that was a lot more clever than Frack on Battlestar Galactica, which always drives me crazy. Oh, yeah. Let's play the Leonard Maltin game, you guys. Woo-hoo! Woo! Let's pick a couple of contestants for you. Let's pick a couple of contestants for you. I always like to go right over here to the people that are sitting in this row on the end
Starting point is 00:29:08 because they're close enough to me that I can see their name tags and also I can talk to them about something else that you'll discover later. But I can't see your name tag. Mandy? All right, Mandy. We'll have Oscar play for Mandy and then that's Jim next to Mandy. We'll have Oscar play for Mandy,
Starting point is 00:29:25 and then that's Jim next to Mandy. We'll have Kate play for Jim. All right? And we got some fabulous prizes for them. And I explained the game to my guests backstage, because as is often the case, you know, you guys have busy lives. You're not listening to podcasts.
Starting point is 00:29:43 I'm not going to be good at this. And you're already worried that it's not going to go well. Well, I'm feeling the pressure from Mandy. Her eyes are boring into the back of my head. I'm going to do my best.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Oh, Mandy. Can't we just talk? Everything has to be a competition. You can just talk through the whole thing. And you can also throw it if you want No, not for Mandy Mandy won't mind
Starting point is 00:30:08 She's sitting right there She's looking right at me, Doug Are you sure? The prize for the consolation prize Is she gets to tell me who to call a shithead At the end of the show Okay, there you go I know what's in this bag
Starting point is 00:30:19 So that's a good prize There's no losers I know what the prizes are And that's a good prize too Okay, so let's have Kate start us off by picking a category first. Would you like to guess movies that
Starting point is 00:30:31 I consider to be tearjerkers? Or movies that are sequels? Or movies that take place in Los Angeles? Which category would you like to play, Kate? Let's go with Tear Jerkers. Alright, because you're a lady and that's a good
Starting point is 00:30:47 way to win because Oscar is not a lady so he hasn't seen these movies. Alright, would you like a movie Kate from 2008 or 2004 or 2009? Wow.
Starting point is 00:31:03 I know you love old movies. Nothing before 1980? Nothing? More recent ones. I guess I'll go back to 2004. That's as far back as your retro will go. This is a tearjerker. Okay.
Starting point is 00:31:15 Leonard gave it three stars. Okay. I don't have an opinion one way or the other on that. I doubt that. He calls it emotional and richly romantic. And it's based on a novel. And there are 12 names. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:31:33 So, Kate Flannery, how many names do you think you can get this movie in from 2004? Emotional and richly romantic. It's based on a novel. I'm going to say five names. Five names. That's a bold bid. First time playing the game.
Starting point is 00:31:55 There's a show after this. Oscar, do you think you can get it in less names or would you like her to name that movie? How many names did she say? Five. I'm going to say four.
Starting point is 00:32:06 Oscar says four names. Kate? I'm going to say four Oscar says four names Kate? I'm going to say three names Oscar 2004? From 2004 Emotionally Get in your time machine It's not shitty, shitty, bang, bang
Starting point is 00:32:23 I know that Did you say shitty, shitty shitty bang bang I know that did you say shitty shitty bang bang is that like the porn version you said three that's the hispanic pronunciation I hear that from Ed Helms every freaking day why do you pronounce
Starting point is 00:32:41 I'm okay you know what go ahead do it three names yes alright here we go your three names are Why do you pronounce? Okay. You know what? Go ahead. Do it. Three names? Yes. All right, here we go.
Starting point is 00:32:48 Your three names are Oba Babatunde, which is one of my favorite names in the world. Sometimes I yell that when I stub my toe. You're like, Oba Babatunde! I sometimes I yell that like when I stub my toe. I'll be like, Oba Babatunde! This next name isn't going to be any help.
Starting point is 00:33:13 Heather Walquist or something like that. And then another name I don't know. Jamie Ann Brown. Those are your three names. So now she has to name it? Now she has to name it. Yeah, see that's tough. Is it about an Irish family in New York? What the hell was that movie called? God damn it. I don't think that's it she has to name it. Yeah, see that's tough. Is it about an Irish family in New York? What the hell
Starting point is 00:33:25 was that movie called? God damn it. I don't think that's it. That's not it. I don't think that's the one. Some people might know it in the audience. Yeah, I'm so sorry.
Starting point is 00:33:33 So no guess then? I was going to say The Notebooks. That's the only thing I can think of back then but that's totally wrong. But what do you
Starting point is 00:33:39 you have to say something. I'm going to say The Notebook then. That's correct. I know. You have to say something. I'm going to say the notebook thing. That's correct.
Starting point is 00:33:43 I know. Are you serious? Oh, my God! I am going to play the lottery tonight. I am playing the scratch. I'm playing the lottery. Joan Allen, Kevin Connolly, James Marsden, Jenna Rollins, James Conner.
Starting point is 00:34:04 Ileana Douglas. Rachel McAdams, and of course, Ryan Gosling. I never would have guessed that. Holy crap. Of course you would have guessed this. It's a tearjerker and you're all man. But I would not go see that movie. I purposely knew what it was and I knew about it to avoid it because it looked like... It's a tearjerker.
Starting point is 00:34:22 That's the perfect way to describe it. If you want to cry, watch The Notebook. Because you'll either cry because it made you cry, or you'll cry because you're watching it. Works either way. All right. Okay, so now it's on you, Oscar. You've got to make a big comeback here.
Starting point is 00:34:39 Would you like to play a movie that features Star Wars alums? This is movies that have someone from the Star Wars saga in them. I know what alums is. I just want to be clear when I say alums that it's not movies that have multiple people because those people never worked together again. They're all separately in movies. And then future guest John Lithgow movies.
Starting point is 00:35:09 Or the third category is a new category I've come up with that I'm very excited about called In Theaters Now. Let's do that. Okay, In Theaters Now. You don't get to pick the year because it's movies that are in theaters now.
Starting point is 00:35:28 This movie is in theaters now. And let's see what... Leonard writes really long reviews when the movies first come out, and he doesn't give them stars. He just tells you a lot about what he thinks about it. And you're going to read a couple of words from him? I'm going to read a couple little things that he has to say about the movie.
Starting point is 00:35:48 You know I used to wait on Leonard Maltin. I swear to God. And his wife. His female wife. He has a wife. Why do you keep saying it like that? That guy's got a wife. I totally thought he was gay. He doesn't seem that gay to me.
Starting point is 00:36:05 No, he gave me a hand job when he was on the show. But it was very manly. That was just business. His hand was rough. His hand was very rough. He works with wood. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:36:20 One of the things he says about this movie is, this young man has what it takes. Okay, one of the things he says about this movie is, this young man has what it takes. Which is not a gay thing to say at all. And he also says this movie deserves the success it's bound to enjoy. And it's in theaters now, and there are four or five, six, nine names. Oscar Nunez.
Starting point is 00:36:47 How many names do you think you can get it in? Nine. Nine names, says Oscar. KF? Eight names. Eight names, she says. Five. Nice jump. Three.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Ooh, double jump. I can't give it up. She's going to get it. She's going to get it if I give it to her. She might not get it. You saw what she did with the last one? Notebook. What the hell?
Starting point is 00:37:22 You want to say two names? You'd have to say two names. Yeah, but you're going to pick the extras, the guys from the bottom. They're not extras. They have speaking roles. Go ahead, Kate. Three names. Here we go, Kate. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Jun-Wi Wang. Shi-Zha Lu. And Xia-Yi Wang, Shi-Zha Lu, and Xia-Ying Wang. Two different Wangs. Karate Kid. Wrong. That's correct. That's wrong!
Starting point is 00:37:54 That's wrong! That's wrong! I'm sorry! Sorry, Oscar. I should have picked it. Yeah, well, see, you had no way to know that was coming because the rest of the names are Jen Se-woo, Rangong Yi, Wah-Wah-Wah,
Starting point is 00:38:15 Taraji P. Henson, Jackie Chan, and Jaden Smith. Here's the thing, Doug. Why does that asshole have to say, this young kid, it's Will Smith's son, say it. Will Smith's son has what it takes. This young kid. Well, he mentions him by name. And then you say his name. You're to say this young kid? It's Will Smith's son. Say it. Will Smith's son has what it takes. This young kid. Well, he mentions him by name. And then you say his name.
Starting point is 00:38:28 You're like, this young kid. Well, I'm not going to say that part. If I say Jaden Smith has what it takes and it's in theaters now, you'd have to be pretty dumb to not know the answer. You'd be surprised. It would have made it interesting. That's all I'm saying. That would have been interesting.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Let's play one more since we have a little extra time here. Give me a chance. And you really... This goes back to her. I want you to redeem yourself. I don't think I will, but this goes back to her.
Starting point is 00:38:54 Let's do another In Theaters Now. Okay. She goes first, right? No, you can go first this time. No, she goes. No, it's okay. Okay. I decided to go first.
Starting point is 00:39:03 How about a mercy first? No. The movie's strongest asset is its... Avatar. Avatar. The movie's strongest asset is its familiar stars. And this is another great line from the review. Framing their new adventure is a situation.
Starting point is 00:39:39 And there are... There's ten names. Oh, God. And who's going to start the bidding? She will. Okay, Kate's going to start the bidding. I'm going to start this. You know Oscar should start.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Should I? I think. Yeah, go ahead. You're the one that's down two points. Go for it. Five. Five names. Four.
Starting point is 00:40:02 Three. Two. You're both like, I'm terrible at this. And then you're bidding like crazy people. If I say one, then I only get one name. No, then she could say zero names if she thinks she knows what it is. And she might just do that, knowing her. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:27 So I have to say one? You said two? Yeah. You can name it in two. But these people are well-known. They're well-known actors. She's going to know. She's going to get it in two names.
Starting point is 00:40:35 I've got to say one. One. Why do you think they're well-known? Because you said these people have worked together. They're ten people. Didn't he say that? Didn't he say... No, no, the clue was
Starting point is 00:40:48 that the movie's asset is its stars, but there could be some people that aren't the stars at the bottom of the list of ten names. I'm going to say zero.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Wow. Okay, now... Well, no, that doesn't mean she knows. That means she has a good guess. Now, Oscar, you do have the opportunity. You can go negative names.
Starting point is 00:41:06 How does that work? You have to name the movie and someone that's in it. Let me think. It has its stars. This movie has stars. Yeah, they have an adventure that's a situation. An adventure. I keep thinking rugrats.
Starting point is 00:41:25 I can't play this. It's all you think about all the time. Rugrats. It's out now. It's in theaters now. It's from this year, yes. It's out now.

Starting point is 00:41:49 It's not Familiar Stars. I think we have to let... Night and Day. Okay. We have to let Kate guess. Go ahead and guess it, Kate. A Knight's Tale? No.
Starting point is 00:42:00 What is it called? A Knight's... It's called Night and Day, but that's not it. Shit. Is that it? No, no, no. It's a Night that it? Cameron Diaz, Tom Cruise movie. A Night and Day Tale.
