Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky seats with 50-acid popcorn kernels in his teeth. They're still not warm, then he won't sleep, because Doug Loves Movies! Hey everybody! Welcome to Doug Loves Movies. Welcome to Doug Loves Movies. The mostly weekly podcast recorded in front of a live audience at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles, California and occasionally in other cities. More details about road shows coming soon.
Starting point is 00:00:41 But if you live in L.A., be sure... Does this sound natural? But if you live in L.A., be Does this sound natural? But if you live in LA, be sure to come out to see me and Larry Stop Being an Asshole, Shelly Zerner doing a live commentary throughout Friday the 13th 3D at Cine Family Theater on
Starting point is 00:00:58 Fairfax on Monday, May 24th. Some of you might be listening to this on Monday, May 24th, so get it together. 2010 is the year, of course. Some of you might be listening to this on Monday, May 24th, so get it together. 2010 is the year, of course. It won't just be me and Larry, actually. There might be... I will make sure there will be a special
Starting point is 00:01:14 surprise guest as well. So follow me on Twitter for more details. Then I wrote here on my notes my opening of the show notes. I wrote, joke? And that means that's my note to myself like you know you've got the rest of today to think of a joke to say right here some episodes i forget to say a joke right here and others i do say a joke right here and this
Starting point is 00:01:37 one is really suspenseful because i didn't write a joke in and I'm also not really thinking of any. Did you guys, did anybody here see Robin Hood? For reals? Four people. I'm already impressed with this audience and its ability to discern that maybe the fifth movie with
Starting point is 00:01:59 Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott will be just as disappointing as the last three. And that maybe that pairing isn't really that awesome. What did you think? It's awful. It's awful. Another way I went, good. But still, see that's the one I really listen to.
Starting point is 00:02:18 The awful is like that guy, he hates candy. But the guy that went, it's good. That was like, yeah, why are you even so half-heartedly trying to convince me? It's good. That's never, oh, I can't wait to see that. If you thought it was good. Now my voice changes. It's no big deal.
Starting point is 00:02:40 It's good. Where are you going? Oh, you're in the catbird seat now. Wow. Oh, it's good. Where are you going? Oh, you're in the catbird seat now. Wow, yeah, a latecomer come in, and she's in a prize-winning seat if ever there was one. Let's get our guests out here. They are going to be competing in the Landmine Game Tournament of Championships.
Starting point is 00:03:00 That's what I call it now. Later in the show, they're going to be competing in that, but let's chat with them first. Why don't we? Please welcome Ricky Lindholm, Adam Scott, and Patton Oswalt. Wow. How did I do it? Well, I did it through a series of phone calls and texts.
Starting point is 00:03:21 I got an email. Oh, yeah, email. I only can email Adam Oh yeah, email. I only can email Adam. We're at that state. I have your phone number, but for some reason email seems to be your jam. Cut it out. That's how I get a hold of you.
Starting point is 00:03:37 I attack Patton on all fronts, every way that I can communicate with him. Could you give me the email? Smoke singles in the valley, I do that. I need the email address of the 60s Italian science fiction movie. You got these mic stands. I want to send them a thank you note. That was very nice for them to loan me. This whole set is Roger Corman. Those mic stands are fun.
Starting point is 00:03:54 They look also kind of like Pixar movies about to begin. I just want to be a lectern. I like making it exciting for the listeners. Like, oh, I got to go see it live now just to see those crazy microphones that they talk about every time. These are worth actually seeing live, these mics. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Ricky Lindholm. I like the table. Yeah, it's a nice table too, right? Ricky is one half. She's the Garfunkel half of Garfunkel and Oates, a very popular comedy folk duo. It's a very entertaining
Starting point is 00:04:30 act that they have. Act? That's not the right word for it. Life. You have an entertaining life. We're a joke band. I hate when people call us that. Hey, sing some of your spoofs. Yeah. And Adam Scott is here.
Starting point is 00:04:49 He's back after an amazing... He was just here three weeks ago, I think. And totally took down the entire Party Down crew. We had two other dudes from Party Down, and Adam obliterated them in this game. So he's back already. And I just flew back from Chicago. I was in Peoria
Starting point is 00:05:05 before that. And here I am. So, thank Jesus. Peoria made me religious. That's the only way you can get out of there. And it made you white. No, I had a great time in Peoria. Shout out to them.
Starting point is 00:05:21 But, on the flight home, Leap Year was on. And I had not realized the last time he was on the program that Adam is one of the stars of Leap Year. Because that was a plane movie for me. I knew that it would be on planes, so I waited.
Starting point is 00:05:37 And I got my just reward. I got to see it. You're welcome. And Lithgow was in that. John Lithgow's in it. Yeah, he was. I got to see it. You're welcome. And Lithgow is in that. John Lithgow's in it. I actually have a pretty cool Lithgow story. I'd love to hear it. Because we're trying to get him on the show.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Now his son is saying, well, he's old. Give him some time. I'm like, how much time do we have? If he's old and a serial killer, we've got to get him while we can. He's not that old, is he? How old is he? I don't know, but his son, you know.
Starting point is 00:06:08 His son is an interesting dude. His son's name, I've never... I've tried to ask him, and he explained it to me and it still didn't make any sense to me, but his name on Twitter is Newt Gingrich. But Newt is spelled N-O-O-T. But, like, why is a young man making Newt Gingrich jokes on Twitter?
Starting point is 00:06:28 He's getting ahead of the retro curve, maybe? I don't know. Anyway, so tell your story about Lithgow. He's, I mean, as you know, very sweet. You were just saying backstage what a sweet guy he is. He seems extremely nice. He's very nice. So we were on the leap year set in Ireland,
Starting point is 00:06:46 and he was telling stories and being really cool and everything. And then we had a break. It was like a lunch break or something. And this story sucks. So I was sitting there did you remember thinking that as it happened this is going to be a horrible story
Starting point is 00:07:10 but it's got Lipko in it so I was sitting there and I hadn't seen him in a while he walked over and he's like that felt great and I was like what were you doing, John? And he goes, well, I have this one-man show coming up in New York. When I'm done with this, I'm going to go do this one-man show.
Starting point is 00:07:33 But I haven't rehearsed it in a while. So I just did it for Charlie over there. He was sitting over there. I just did my show for him. I just had to get it out of my system. And so he had taken an extra aside and sat them down and performed his one-man show.
Starting point is 00:07:52 Wow. I'm going to have to figure out a way to impress Mr. Lithgow with the boundaries that occur when you're on my podcast. There is hardly any... There's barely time for that stupid story. Let alone his whole new show that he wants to mount or should i just step aside and let him do it he's gonna want to do your whole
Starting point is 00:08:12 show man each and every person in the audience individually oh that'd be great you guys can line up after do you want to hear another cool story from the set of leap year did you guys laugh and laugh and laugh about how it was coming out in a year that doesn't even have Leap Day? That's the marketing, right? It should have been tied to that? I don't know. Who was it that was saying they saw it on a plane and they could figure it out? Paul F. Tompkins on the bike. He said he knew every beat of the story
Starting point is 00:08:45 based on what he figured out watching it. It was that your character was kind of shitty. Yeah. He said he watched it without the sound and was able to predict the whole thing and generously didn't mention my name while he was saying it. And then that one character,
Starting point is 00:09:01 the asshole rich guy. Yeah, he didn't say your name there. I thought that was pretty sweet of him. He was either very sweet or I was kind of insulted. Like, at least say me and say I was super shitty. Maybe he thought it was Giovanni Ribisi or something. Sometimes it's hard to remember those. But you were good at it, I thought.
Starting point is 00:09:21 I watched it with the sound on. I didn't do that. I'm no snob. Although, I will admit. I watched it with the sound on. I didn't do that. I'm no snob. I watched it with just the sound. I thought it was great. I really loved it. You turn everything into a podcast. You just listen to it.
Starting point is 00:09:34 It sounds like a platform just happened. It sounds like her car just crashed in a ditch. We're going to be a good 20 minutes of talking about the car being in the ditch. What a romantic movie. I saw Invictus with the sound off and as far as I could tell, Matt Damon's team won and then Nelson Mandela got out of jail. Because the
Starting point is 00:09:54 right team won. Spoiler alert. I think we were on the same airline because I watched Invictus and Leap Year 2 just like last week. On Delta? No. It's just a thing. Three or four months after a movie is done theatrically, if it's PG-13 or lower,
Starting point is 00:10:10 you're going to see it on a plane. I don't watch Pixar movies in theaters anymore because that's going to be on the plane in a few months. And it'll be delightful. So no, Human Centipede won't be on American Airlines? Because I didn't see it in the theater. Human centipede.
Starting point is 00:10:27 The United Airlines has a cost-saving measure. They want to try that with the passengers. You give one centipede to the first guy. Boom. There you go. It goes through the human centipede. And the last one just sits in the restroom. And there's the perfect.
Starting point is 00:10:43 So we've got to give him one magazine he describes everyone behind him alec baldwin is giving us three great days in boston day one are you gonna see human centipede patent you know it's really sad this is how my life is right now i'm more excited and interested in human centipede than i am in iron man 2 i'd rather because i'm like well more robots than human centipede than I am in Iron Man 2. I'd rather, because Iron Man 2 is like, well, more robots than Human Centipede. Oh, mouth just to an anus? All right.
Starting point is 00:11:11 That might actually get me to leave the house. I'd like to compromise. If the first person in the Human Centipede was Scarlett Johansson, then I'd be most interested in that. Over those other two things. What if Iron Man 3, they should stitch like four suits together and make them...
Starting point is 00:11:29 Well, that's what, you know, spoiler alert, Patton, but, you know, the whole movie, Samuel L. Jackson, as Nick Fury, he's begging, yeah, he's begging him to join up with the Avengers
Starting point is 00:11:40 through the whole movie, and it's not determined by the end of the movie whether or not he's actually going to join up with the Avengers. It's like, why do we need to see this? This is like the backroom, you know, boardroom shit that we don't need to see. We need to see suits flying around. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Shooting at each other. Isn't the whole point of the hero's journey story is he gets the call, you refuse it, then you take it. You can't have a whole movie where Luke Skywalker's like, let me just keep, let me think a little longer about this. My aunt and uncle got burned to death, and this planet does suck. However,
Starting point is 00:12:13 I gotta sell all these robots, I gotta close the farm. I can't just get on a ship and go. I want to. I want to, Ben. Let me put my chin on my prosthetic hand and take this over. Let me, I'll tell you what. Let me just put some of these robots on Craigslist,
Starting point is 00:12:28 see how much money I get, and then I'll see what I can do. Let's see what happens when I put... Oh, I ruined it. I was about to talk about a character who's dead, and that would have been ridiculous. So, Patton, have you seen... Wait a minute, you don't want to spoil the Star Wars movies?
Starting point is 00:12:45 No, no, no. It wouldn't make sense for Luke Skywalker to say this, what I was going to say that he was saying, because Aunt Beru was already dead. So he couldn't make any money with her on Craigslist because she's already out of the picture. So that's rude of him to say that about his dead mother. Oh, good point.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Jawas will be like I've got a dusty can of ashes if anyone wants to. Welcome back to Nerd Talk. Ricky Lindholm and Adam Scott are nearby watching
Starting point is 00:13:20 the Nerd Talk happen. Nerd Talk adjacent. I figured it out once that of those three prequels, wasn't the first and the second one, weren't they basically, it was basically two movies
Starting point is 00:13:34 explaining like at most seven minutes worth of storytelling. Like nothing fucking happens until the third movie, right? Wow, I never thought of that. It literally explains like three lines of dialogue.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Exactly. Me and Anakin, we're good friends. Let's see that friendship for five hours. Pull it out. Really? I get that you're friends.
Starting point is 00:13:59 I don't need to... Right. No, let me show you my photo book. No, let's not. I don't want to look at all the picture you guys got together in the booth at the mall
Starting point is 00:14:08 that makes it look like you're on a rollercoaster together. That's boring. I don't need that. But what about the argument about the stamp tax? Whatever the hell it was. There's some sort of treaty. Trade tariffs. I was sitting in
Starting point is 00:14:24 Attack of the Clones and they're in the Senate again saying we've got to attach an amendment to this thing. And my brother leans over and goes, this is like watching C-SPAN with fucking Monster Mask on. It's true. I never thought it's five hours to explain two lines of dialogue in one movie.
Starting point is 00:14:43 Yeah, not good. There's fucking ETs in there and an ET. ET. The kid played with Star Wars toys. Fuck you guys. It all folds in on itself in a most unpleasant way. It's worse than the oil spills. Have you seen Troll 2, Patton Oswalt?
Starting point is 00:15:05 Oh, good lord, yes. It's amazing, right? Because there's a documentary now. I was in a friend's house, and he was watching the movie Troll. And there's a scene where Michael Moriarty runs down a flight of stairs and trips over Sonny Bono. So it's got real actors in it. It did have real actors. And I was going, wow.
Starting point is 00:15:20 in it. The actors were actors. And I was going, wow, I go, you know, a director had to, before that scene,
Starting point is 00:15:25 say, okay, in this scene, Michael Moriarty is going to run down the stairs and trip over Sonny Bono.
Starting point is 00:15:31 And then my friend said, you haven't seen the sequel to this. If you think this is bad, you got to, and then he put that in because at the time it came in like
Starting point is 00:15:39 a double DVD pack and then we watched it and I thought it was, I thought it was a movie that he and his friends had made and it was some elaborate prank to mess around with me. It's really fun bad. I haven't seen Troll 2 in its entirety
Starting point is 00:15:53 because what I saw that turned me on to it was I saw a movie called Best Worst Movie where the little kid from Troll 2 grew up to make a documentary and some of the players, but the lead adult actor Where the little kid from Troll 2 grew up to make a documentary. Which is so sweet. Some of the players, but the lead adult actor in the movie is a dentist in real life, but also was clinging desperately to the success and the excitement around Troll 2 being the best worst movie ever made.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Did you see it as well, Patton, that movie? I haven't seen the documentary, but when I was at Sundance two years ago, I got interviewed by this guy named Darren Ewing, who turns out he's a journalist now. He's the kid in Troll 2 who says they're eating her, they're going to eat me, and then he does the longest,
Starting point is 00:16:37 oh my god! And he interviewed me, and it was such a treat I didn't realize it was him And then what I also didn't realize Troll 2 was filmed in Sundance It was filmed in that
Starting point is 00:16:53 Now what's the town that they do the Sundance film in? Park City Oh yeah, the movie's made in Utah It was filmed in Park City, Utah in 1989 The year that Sex, Lies, and Videotape broke Well Sundance needs to do a tribute. All these other movies, they don't bring work to Park City.
Starting point is 00:17:09 Troll 2 employed people and brought confused Italians to town. Yeah, well that's another great character in Best Worst Movies. The director is just super, he's one of those bad movie directors who's super deluded and thinks his stuff is great. People are laughing, but a lot of them
Starting point is 00:17:26 are taking it very seriously. It's this kind of approach to it. The other people are laughing. They don't know. No, they're all
Starting point is 00:17:32 the people that are lining up to see this stupid movie. Best First Movie opens at the New Art here in Los Angeles. It's out this weekend and then pops around
Starting point is 00:17:43 all over the country. I hope to get some people involved in it on this show at some point. I have Troll 2 at home, but I haven't watched it. Would you say watch Troll 2 first or watch Best Worst? I'd say watch the movie first. Best Worst has to just pick scenes from Troll 2 to illustrate points. And it seems like it's good to go all the way through.
Starting point is 00:18:01 And I got to say, every scene in Troll 2 does not work. They, every single, and I've watched it twice now, just to go, did maybe like accidentally one thing, every single thing,
Starting point is 00:18:14 you see where it's starting to go, and it just beautifully, perfectly, miserably fails. They do not let a single scene work. They almost, it almost feels like they do reshoots like,
Starting point is 00:18:26 wow, I actually believed her. let's go back and make sure let's have something odd happen in the background for no reason to ruin this they're like Woody Allen they scheduled the reshoots ahead of time just to make sure it sucks the guy's catchphrase in the movie the dentist his catchphrase is something about
Starting point is 00:18:42 hospitality he keeps yelling about hospitality called hospitality and we don't piss no you don't piss on hospitality hospitality that's his catch phrase so they show the guy he'll be at the checkout counter at the at the grocery store they'll say they go by the guy did you see troll too she's like i think so and he's like i'm the one that says and he says that that's what he says publicly. It's amazing. And again, you can tell in the scene that he says it in
Starting point is 00:19:09 that even in context it absolutely doesn't work. He shouldn't be saying it and it just makes everything ten times creepier. It is a shitty catchphrase. Yeah, that's a shitty catchphrase. You don't piss on hospitality.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Don't piss on hospitality. It's screaming it angrily. Yeah, at a a shitty cat. You don't piss on hospitality. It's screaming it angrily. Yeah. At a little kid. Who has just peed on a table full of food. For a reason. There's a reason in the movie. He's not a kid that's just like,
Starting point is 00:19:37 I'm going to piss on hospitality. I think he knows that's a cardinal rule. And also, again, the movie thinks that in the scene there's a reason for him to piss on it, but you watch and go, no, there was no reason for him to... They clearly came up with the catchphrase first and then had to build to that. What if they had to do the whole movie around that one? That guy, like, through that Italian guy,
Starting point is 00:20:00 you don't piss... where's my pen? Where's my pen? I'll finish this tomorrow. This is the seed. So, Ricky, do you have any idea how Lost is going to end? The season's coming up. Season end there is coming up. I've never really seen Lost. Series finale. Well, Kate and I are supposed to do a song about Lost this Saturday here at UCB.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Wow. And so I've been calling all my nerdiest friends and being like, you probably watch Lost, right? That would be a fun song. Somebody did that with, they did a short film about a girl trying to explain the Star Wars trilogy only based on word of mouth. She's never seen any of the Star Wars movies,
Starting point is 00:20:39 but she'd heard enough about it in pop culture that she was able to pretty much describe the whole story. You should do a song like that about Lost. Just the impressions you've gotten over the years. There's a fat guy who won the lottery. It could be a lie. We might do one being like, why is there not more fucking on this island?
Starting point is 00:20:57 All these people are hot and they're all dying. Why don't you just take your time with all these relationships? Have sex and do the heroin and get eaten by the smoke monster you know they kind of do though
Starting point is 00:21:08 I mean they're kind of like thrown in a cage at one point and told you know we're gonna kill you and they're like well I might as well fucking get it on
Starting point is 00:21:14 and then they do I feel like I would be like that the whole time I was on the island though if I was around like all these like super hot dudes like fuck it
Starting point is 00:21:21 you know you wouldn't be how do we get off this island you'd be how do we get off on this island oh wow thanks for tuning into the zoo morning 103 are we throwing it we'll be right back after the weather. What was your question about? You had a question, Adam,
Starting point is 00:21:51 but I wanted to hear it. I was just going to say that along with your observation about no one fucking except for a couple of times, also all the dudes have jeans on. No one, Hurley's the only one
Starting point is 00:22:01 that wears shorts. Like if I was trapped on the island, I would turn my jeans into shorts but like Jack's walking around with jeans
Starting point is 00:22:10 like two years in it's like dude it looks fucking hot out there and Sawyer has like cool like designer jeans with the
Starting point is 00:22:18 big pockets they must have like the worst swamp ass on that island all those jeans that's why no one's fucking Because you take the pants off And that fume hits
Starting point is 00:22:28 That's the smoke monster It's all the swamp ass From the guy's crotches and asses That's what that smoke monster is Mystery solved There you go Locke is the only one that should wear pants Because he can't feel anything in his legs anyway
Starting point is 00:22:42 Right It's true I haven't watched in four years. That would be so ballsy if in the final episode, I stop watching this season, is if in the final episode, the last shot
Starting point is 00:22:55 is Bob Newhart waking up and it's like oh man. Again? Again? Or Bobby Ewing walking out of his shower. Bobby Ewing, yeah. Or they could all have a meal in a diner with Journey playing.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Wait, why did you stop watching this season? I watched. Sideways? I really, really loved the show. But then when I watched the opening episode of this season, I was like, oh, a healing pool. Okay, I'm done. I was happy to go with time travel and alternate.
Starting point is 00:23:30 There was, for some reason, the pool of water that they can drop dead characters into. I was like, that's the... Because I've been in enough writing rooms where I've seen people just go, just have a fucking ray that makes people come back to life. Just have a fucking ray that makes people come back to life. I'm sick of being here until 2 a.m. eating Twizzlers and Cuckoo Roo.
Starting point is 00:23:52 This healing pool. Let me go home. I can't miss another of my kids' recitals. That's like the Rob Lowe thing in Thank You for Not Smoking, where he's like, well, just add a line like, thank God we invented that thing where they can smoke in space or something. Yeah. Done. So many of those.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Let's play a game. These are the champions. Tournament of Championships people. Patton Oswalt, Adam Scott, Ricky Lindholm. Who performs well. You and Kate went together. The first time I had you on, you were against two people.
Starting point is 00:24:36 Two against two, but then you played individually. Winter Olympics, wasn't that the theme? Yeah. And then the next time we played, you played individually and you both still did very well. So you worked together well. What was the theme that time? I don't remember.
Starting point is 00:24:50 Separately. I forget. Yeah. It was a great one. I don't listen to this show. I'm kind of here when it happens. I think the theme, I heard that one,
Starting point is 00:25:02 the theme was shoes. Movies that feature shoes. hear what it happened I think the theme I I heard that one the theme was shoes movies that feature shoes you get a good look at the fucking shoes of all these characters that man has a food fetish all right Dave Rath here? sounded like him okay I've opened up the app the Leonard Moulton app so we can play well you said it like
Starting point is 00:25:33 that's a thing that would be on a famous game show I have opened up the Leonard Moulton app our contestants are blindfolded here we go hey I got an idea for future shows
Starting point is 00:25:43 if you guys are listening or here right now, anyone who's not listening or not here right now cannot participate in what I am about to say. Wow, wait a minute. Are we in a time vortex right now? I guess you could tell a friend, but anyway. You could share it over the internet or whatever.
Starting point is 00:26:00 But the people that sit in the first three seats up here on the stage, they obviously got here early or early enough to get those seats because they know they might get picked for the game. If you could, at home, if you could write your name on a piece of paper and then tape it to your chest
Starting point is 00:26:15 and then come and sit there, it'll make it a lot easier. Because I think when people listen to the podcast it's probably a little too much of Doug trying to memorize names for no real good reason. If you have them right there on probably a little too much of Doug trying to memorize names. For no real good reason. If you have them right there on your chest, bam, I'll know who it is. This is the weirdest, most indirect way of communicating to someone anything I've ever heard.
Starting point is 00:26:37 They pick up on it, though. People are listening. It's almost like that scene in Frequency Where he puts the note Under the floorboards And in the future They find it I gotta put my name on it This is like a low budget Frequency
Starting point is 00:26:50 Next week There'll be one or two people It may not be three contestants But next week There'll be some people Sitting right over here With their names On their chest
Starting point is 00:26:57 Like Price is Right Or whatever And I'll look over And I'll go Stacy Who do you want to Have play for you What's your name
Starting point is 00:27:04 Victoria See it's all fucked up already And I'll look over and I'll go, Stacy, who do you want to have play for you? What's your name? Victoria. Victoria. See, it's all fucked up already. Who would you like to have play for you, Victoria? Patton. Patton. All right, Patton, you're playing for Victoria.
Starting point is 00:27:16 What's your name, sir? Steven. Steven, who would you like to have play for you, Ricky or Adam? Adam. Adam. All right, you sexist piece of shit. That's how I'm going to remember Steve. S. Sexist.
Starting point is 00:27:28 Shit. Victoria. Awesome with a V. And she picked a big queen. What? Was this Mike? Wow, that didn't go out, did it? Ricky, do you accept Craig as your person to play for? I do.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Hi, Craig. She does. All as your here we go try to try to remember all those names I've already Victoria Patton Steve. Damn. Yeah, I did it. These are, as we played last week, we played the films of John Lithgow. It was very challenging because he's been in a lot of movies that you don't remember John Lithgow was in then. Or that you don't remember at all.
Starting point is 00:28:22 And some classics. Some classics are in here, too. I didn't avoid the best ones. Let's start down there with Ricky. Would you like a movie from 2006, 2002, or 2000? Straight up. 2000. Bam.
Starting point is 00:28:42 Why I said that? Doesn't mean anything. Three stars Leonard gave this movie that I never saw. Great. He says it's a funny follow-up to another movie that I never saw. He says
Starting point is 00:29:00 the settings are colorful and the story is both funny and sentimental. Was followed by another one in this series. And there are... I know, right? There's 13 names. Oh, God. Start the bidding, Ricky.
Starting point is 00:29:16 That one's really hard. I can do it in nine names. Nice. Let's come down here to Pat and Oswald. Pass it the same way you pass a joint. Yeah. Nine names. Nice. Let's come down here to Pat and Oswald. Pass it the same way you pass a joint. Yeah. Nine names. I can do it in five.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Please speak into the microphone, sir. I'm sorry. I can do it. Hey, could you... I want to do the lawyer thing. Where you, like, cover the thing. I can do it in five. Adam?
Starting point is 00:29:55 I can do it in four. Four names. This is Adam Scott. You might know him from Party Down. Stars with a Z. He's also a new cast member on Parks Down. Stars with a Z. He's also a new cast member on Parks and Rec. With a Z. NBC.
Starting point is 00:30:13 I think he should name that movie. Here we go. Four names for Adam Scott. Am I allowed to hear the hint you threw there again? All that stuff again? Yeah, it was all worthless. Len gave it Three stars. Len gave it three stars.
Starting point is 00:30:27 I never saw it. It's a part of a trilogy that I never saw any part of. And the settings are colorful, and the story is both funny and sentimental. Okay. Can I hear it again? The names are Dan Castellaneta, who we all know as Homer Simpson. Tim Curry, as we all know, as Frankenfurter.
Starting point is 00:30:54 Casey Kasem, who we all know as Scooby's friend Shaggy. And Debbie Reynolds. That doesn't even seem like that should exist. Sounds like you made that up on the spot, like lying to a homicide detective. Yeah, I saw a movie with Casey Kasem and Debbie Reynolds. Yeah, it wasn't there at all. Adam Scott, do you have any idea?
Starting point is 00:31:33 Sort of. Do you ever have people talk it out like they do on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? You can talk it out as long as you're not discussing it with anyone else. You can say your thoughts if you want. My thoughts? Can I just share my thoughts? Yeah, share it. The thoughts I'm having are... Show us your logic.
Starting point is 00:31:49 I feel like it's the second chapter in the Santa Claus trilogy. There was a Santa Claus trilogy? Yeah, there's a Santa Claus trilogy. But I also feel like... There's a movie called Santa Claus that had Dudley Moore in it. but I also feel like the Tim... There's a movie called Santa Claus that had Dudley Moore in it.
Starting point is 00:32:07 No, no, the Tim Allen trilogy. Oh, oh, Santa Claus. The Santa Claus. You were saying Santa Claus. But you don't pronounce it that way unless you're one of the Marx Brothers. She don't pronounce it that way unless you're one of the Marx Brothers. Okay, it's... Shrek 2?
Starting point is 00:32:34 No. Fuck. John Lithgow's the next name. I don't know why anyone would know this. Michael Bell, Susan Sarandon, Melanie Chartoff, Jack Riley, Keith Soucy, Cheryl Chase, not Chevy. Cheryl, you know Cheryl. She falls down too.
Starting point is 00:32:51 And Christine Cavanaugh and E.G. Daly's the lead character. What? E.G. Daly. Squeaky voice girl from Pee Wee's Big Adventure, yeah. This is a curveball. I gave you a movie and it's called Rugrats in Paris. The movie. Rugrats in Paris. The movie.
Starting point is 00:33:08 Rugrats in Paris, the movie. Were you onto that at all? I was also going to say Shrek 2. You were? I was totally going to say it. Well, you went the animation route so you guys are... Once you hear, no offense to Dan because I love him, but when you hear his voice, you just go, oh, this would be a cartoon.
Starting point is 00:33:24 And E.G. Daly is also a big giveaway, although we didn't get that part, did we? No, we didn't. I'll name it in 13 names. Go ahead. I'll name it in 13 names and a title. Go ahead. Ricky gets to pick the year again.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Oh. 2006? Did Ricky get that point? Yep. Oh, she did get the point. Then Patton gets to pick the year. Well, Craig, you got a point then. Yeah, Craig.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Passing it over to Craig, yeah. What are my choices of years? Your choices are the aforementioned 2006 and 2002, plus a 1993 if you want to go back that far. I'm going to go 93 Pat Nozzle says 93 There we go Three stars from Len Maybe a little generous if you ask me
Starting point is 00:34:14 But it was alright That's it? Well there'll be more I was skimming through it I don't want to say anything, I don't want to say anything that's a giveaway. And so far, his whole description
Starting point is 00:34:27 is just like shouting the name over and over again. This movie will make your feet feel loose. I don't want to do that. All right, here we go. I'll take the names out of it. All right.
Starting point is 00:34:43 Len says, it's well cast and well crafted, though the suspense starts to peter out towards the finish. And this is from, what year did we say it was? 1993. 1993. He gives it three stars, and you have 14 names, one of which will be Mr. John Lithgow.
Starting point is 00:35:04 How many names can you get it in, Patton Oswalt? I can get it in two names. Come down for the live shows if you love spit takes. Let's do this also. For the listeners at home, Doug has just done a spit take.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Enjoy Marlboro cigarettes. Okay, so Adam Scott, Patton Oswalt says he can get in two names. Where do you stand? You know, I... This is a tough place to put you in. It is a tough place because I feel like I don't want to fuck up Patton's guess
Starting point is 00:35:54 by saying one name and then fucking it up. I'm talking you through my process again. I like to hear your process. It turns out this is totally annoying. But I'm going to say... I'm just going to say... I'm just going to say... One name. I've seen the name and I'm impressed.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Ricky's going to say name that movie again. She might take this whole thing down just by making you name movies. But doesn't Patton get another... That's not how it works. I get to underbid him. Yeah, she can underbid him.
Starting point is 00:36:36 It's got to come all the way back around to you. It's a tricky game. One name. Adam Scott, do you want the clues again? Just give me the clues two more times. He gives it three stars. No, no, it's okay. Three stars he gives it.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Okay. He says it's well cast, well crafted, well cast, well crafted. The suspense starts to peter out towards the finish. Is it well-crasted? The suspense tends to peter out towards the... Peter isn't? It peters out.
Starting point is 00:37:13 That expression to me just makes me think of a penis. When something's petering out, that's just like a dude can't fuck his lady. This movie totally can't fuck you towards the end. You would hear that in a PA's headset on a porn set, like, Peter's out. We got a Peter's out. Get the fluffer in here. Yeah, Peter, fluffer.
Starting point is 00:37:34 Okay. Adam Scott, your one name is Jake Webber. I told you it was going to be tough. The old Jake Weber. With one B. But it's in Jake. It's really weird.
Starting point is 00:38:01 If I get this wrong, I'll feel like an idiot because I think Patton knows for sure what it is. But I'm just going to guess that it's Raising Cane. No. God damn it. You're a fierce competitor. Patton? Oh, I was going to say Raising Cane.
Starting point is 00:38:21 No, you weren't. I really was. I thought it was Raising Cane. Really? No, you was Raising Cane. I thought it was like in the early 90s. It might be 92 Cain. No, you weren't. I really was. I thought it was Raising Cain. Really? No, you was Raising Cain. I thought it was like in the early 90s. It might be 92, though. Yeah, it might be.
Starting point is 00:38:34 All right, well, Ricky's officially our winner, then, with two points. Wow. Yeah, I thought it would be, you know, I thought it would be more competitive. Are we doing three movies? Oh, there's no way you can win now. Yeah, yeah, it would be more competitive. Are we doing three movies? There's no way you can win now. Yeah, you got first person to two. It usually gets a little bit more suspenseful than that. The three of you worked out this system
Starting point is 00:38:53 where one would always bid ridiculously low right in front of Ricky. What was the movie? I would like to share with you the rest of the names so that people can play along and try to guess. Jump in when you think you know it. Cynthia Nixon was in this movie. What?
Starting point is 00:39:12 I bet she played a bitch. Anthony Heald was in this movie and he definitely played... I don't know. I'm confusing with another guy. But he's usually a bad guy. Well, he usually plays like a stuck-up kind of weasel. Snooty weasel, yes.
Starting point is 00:39:27 John Lithgow was in this movie. Hume Cronin. Stanley Tucci. Robert Culp. R.I.P. William Atherton. Another snooty weasel. James B. Saking.
Starting point is 00:39:40 Amazing cast. It's all like... It's all people... It's all like dressed up in suits like they're lawyers or some shit. Tony Goldwyn. John Hurd. Sam Shepard. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:39:52 I think I know what this is. The next two are the giveaway names. Yeah, I know. Oh, I know it. I know it. I know it. What is it? What is it?
Starting point is 00:39:59 Pelican Brief? Yes, that's right. Patton Oswalt gets the nothing prize. That was a daring bold wager you made there. God, he does so many movies. I never would have remembered that he was in that movie.
Starting point is 00:40:16 What two names were you expecting to hear on Raising Cain? That's what I'm curious about. I'm going to look that up right now. Didn't he play a double role in that so we'd hear Lifkow twice? That would give it up right now. Didn't he play a double role in that? We hear Lithgow twice. That would give it away right there. Not with just two names. John Lithgow and Mr.
Starting point is 00:40:32 John Lithgow. Lolita Davidovich was the female lead of that one. That was a good movie. Yeah, that was really groovy. She was in a couple movies around that time. She was in that thing about being a stripper. Blaze.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Wow, was that? Is Waylon Flowers Ghost haunting this place? That was... Wait a minute. Waylon Flowers Ghost. So there's two Denzel Washington and John Lithgow movies. What's the other one? Ricochet.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Yeah, yeah. They like working together. They like black and white. They go together nicely. Let's give some prizes out. Who won the prizes? Craig. Yay!
Starting point is 00:41:16 Sorry, Victoria. You get a copy of Unbalanced Load, my second CD that's available on the internet and stuff. You also get a Two Trunk to Tweet t-shirt in a beautiful new purple and blue design. It's got a drunk Twitter bird on there. You look really manly in it, I'm sure. And then, yeah, just to make it, like this shirt's probably a little cooler for a dude to wear.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Last week, Ruzi gave me a shirt that says government on it. And afterwards he's like, I hope you're a medium. And I'm like, I hope so too someday on my deathbed. When I'm dying or something, I'll be able to slip into the government shirt. So I'll give it to you. You look like you'd fit you better. So congratulations
Starting point is 00:42:00 on all your amazing prizes. Yeah, I went down to the UCB theater and won some crap Doug doesn't want. It was fantastic. Doug's got to make room for more DVDs. Yeah, that's right. Anything you guys want to plug?
Starting point is 00:42:16 Any plugs you need to make? When does this show upload? It comes out a few days after we do it. I'll be on I Love Movie. I'll be on Doug Love Movies in a couple days on your iTunes. Did I just say Doug Love Movies? That's some trippy time travel shit right there.
Starting point is 00:42:34 You've got to do a caveman edition. Doug Love Movie. Just one. Where it's all just... Just keep talking. All right. Hey, Adam Scott, what do you have coming up? Obviously, you're coming back on Parks and Rec.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Yeah, I'll be on that on Thursday night. Oh. But I also, I just want to reiterate that I want people, I just like the idea of saying it into the microphone, it going onto a recording device, then that content being put up onto a giant server, then that going to iTunes, and then it being downloaded to someone's iPod,
Starting point is 00:43:13 and then they listen to it, or listen to it on the computer or whatever, and then put the name tag on. Like all of that to get the name tag. It's going to happen. I wish you were going to be a guest again next week to see me. I may just come to see if it happens. I just want to, again,
Starting point is 00:43:30 thank you for sharing your thought process on that whole thing. On the set of Leap Year, I was just sitting there and John Lithgow, he came back. Oh! That was Paul Talcott's impression of John Lithgow last week. Oh!

Starting point is 00:44:10 You're about to be in everything. You're in everything. There's going to be an Adam Scott edition of this game in the future when they preserved your head. We could do it right now. And they just have a mind wire coming right out. Fucking one and a half stars, TORC. Wow.
Starting point is 00:44:28 That's unfair, that one and a half stars. Yeah, I think it's much more fun than that. It's the troll tomb of movies called Tork. My plugs, I'm going to be Friday, May 28th, I'm going to be at the House of Blues in San Diego with my buddy Graham Elwood. And you've got a House of Blues date coming up this summer, right? I'll be there the Thursday before Comic-Con at the House of Blues in San Diego.
Starting point is 00:44:53 And there's going to be a lot of guests. And any of my friends that are down at the Comic-Con, you can pretty much expect them to drop by the show. That's going to be a great show. My show, I'm just going to have Graham Elwood, so thanks a lot. That's not really. Wait for mine. Thanks a lot for making yours sound so much more awesome than mine on May 28th. By the way, can I just say, if anyone in the audience has not seen Big Fan yet, you should run that walk.

So go back and watch that online, The Tonight Show. We played a song called My Self-Esteem's Not Low Enough to Date You. And you looked right at Jay the whole time, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:46:39 We looked at Michael Douglas' balls, which were, like, hanging out through his pants. I'm not even kidding. If you watch the show Tuesday, if you go back on Tuesday and watch the show, he was wearing a linen suit, his legs were spread, and you can see clearly his penis and balls. The entire interview, I am not kidding.
Starting point is 00:46:55 They were hanging out of the cuff of his jeans, which is like, wow. That's some old man balls. We took so many pictures on the monitor, because it was just amazing. And he would lift his hands and he would move and they would just move around. It's like he always said,
Starting point is 00:47:10 greed is good or something like that. Thanks to my guests, Patton Oswalt, Ricky Leno, Adam Scott. As always, I think she said
Starting point is 00:47:24 Will Kurdish is a shithead. And then the other guy, old school, appreciate it, dude, Steve. He said Willem Dafoe is a shithead. Yeah. Spakes in foggy, there's no room in his heart for you. Cause Doug loves movies. Thank you guys. Welcome to the new season.
