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,
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.
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,
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
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?
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.
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?
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
Subbing for Alaska?
Or...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, subbing for Alaska
Wow
Yeah
That's kind of weird
Have you seen the movie?
Yeah
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.
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
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
it worked
alright
yeah
fair enough
I'm not gonna lie
I'm not
I don't know what you expected
I'm coming
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.
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.
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
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
She's like
Everyone
It's really
I'm like
What the hell
She makes a speech
Before every screening
Before the movie
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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...
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
In 3D?
Yes.
Wow.
360 3D.
And it's...
360 3D.
He shakes the tram around.
Yes.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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!
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Should I?
I think.
Yeah, go ahead.
You're the one that's down two points.
Go for it.
Five.
Five names.
Four.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
It's in theaters now.
Friends, are they making a...
No, they're not making a...
I feel like I'm from Yugoslavia
that I just landed here
and I'm like,
what movies are playing?
I can't think.
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.
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.
No, that's not it.
But that was fun that you played that way.
I'll just name a movie that's out right now.
I know.
