Doug hates candy wrappers screaming,
maybe sticking seeds with
50-yazard hopper turtles in his jeans.
There's still not one that he won't sweet,
but Doug of Louise.
Hey everybody My name is Doug
Oh hey
This guy behind me addressed me directly
So I had to talk to him
My name is Doug and I love movies
This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you from
The UCB Theater in Los Angeles
California On January 10 to Oceans 12 This is Doug Loves Movies, coming to you from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles, California.
On January 10 to Ocean's 12.
Since last, thank you, since last...
Let me just, first of all, just say it's another exciting Someone's Stuck in Traffic night here at Doug Loves Movies.
But the other two guests are here,
and they're seven times more amazing
than the person stuck in traffic.
No, I think he'll get here.
I mean, he or she.
Might be Albert Nobbs.
Since last I spoke,
and you listened,
I taped an app
of Douglas movies at the
Palace Station's Louis Anderson Theater
in Las Vegas, Nevada that's available soon
or now for $2 in the comedy album
section of iTunes
$1.99 if you're into specifics.
It features
a very competitive Leonard Maltin game
with UFC fighter Jason Mayhem
Miller, palm striker Graham Elwood,
and...
And...
And...
And Todd Glass.
Yes, Todd Glass
finally returns to
the show, and yes,
he still doesn't
watch movies.
So you'll enjoy that
if you listen to it.
It worked out pretty good.
Those guys are all very funny,
and we had a very nice time in Vegas.
I'm very excited about this weekend's show
at the Punchline in Sacramento.
Three shows, three days, all at 420.
Stand up the first day on January 14th
with Leonard Mullen game with audience members,
one of whom will win a seat as a guest
with three other people on
Doug Loves Movies on Monday, January
16th, and then on
January 15th, Benson Interruption
taping, of course.
Celebrate Martin Luther King
Jr. Day the whitest
way.
With me.
I have dreams too, you know. whitest way. With me.
I have dreams too, you know.
I have always dreamed of doing a movie interruption of the
Patrick Swayze classic Roadhouse
and that dream
is coming true on Saturday
afternoon, January 28th at the Roxy Theater in San Francisco.
Go to sfsketchfest.com for info and tickets.
Now it's time for Tweet Relief.
Fuzzco66 wrote to me on Twitter,
You should have David Lee Roth on Douglas Movies just so you could ask him if he has any plugs.
This has been Tweet Relief.
The prize bag tonight.
What a fantastic prize bag.
We always have the greatest prizes and the weirdest items that are just...
A lot of people forget to bring an item and so then they scramble and so you get some
interesting stuff. I, of course, usually remember to bring a copy, and so then they scramble, and so you get some interesting stuff.
I, of course, usually remember to bring a copy of Doug Benson Professional Humoridian
and a copy of Weezer's.
This is only going to go on for a few more weeks.
A signed copy of Weezer's Hurley album
with a delightful picture of Hurley on the front of it.
We got a Weezer T-shirt in there.
This was sent to me me and I love this movie
so I want to mention it and give it away.
A book form
screenplay of the
script for Win Win, one of my
favorite movies of last year.
Throw that in there. Also we have one of those
similar kind of
books for the Descendants
that was signed by the guest who
brought it. And then we also have
Garfunkel and Oates aren't here,
but one of the guests brought a copy
of their CD
All Over Your Face that is
signed by both of them.
And then one of my guests
that didn't bring something, because
he's a very busy man, he
signed their CD.
So that's going to be worth something.
A CD signed by Garfunkel
and Oates and one of my guests
tonight. And so with
no further ado, that's what somebody's
going to win this evening if I remember
to pick contestants
from the audience. Jordan's
here, front row, ready to remind me.
And I would like you, hopefully
they're all here at this point please welcome to the stage Wayne Fetterman David Cross and
Patton Oswalt We opened the wrong door.
We opened the wrong door.
And now to the amazing
deductive reasoning
of this audience.
Everyone knows
that David Cross
is stuck in traffic.
Were you going to come out
and try and do an impression of him?
No, I don't do impressions.
That's Wayne Fetterman's voice, everybody.
And Patton Oswalt, you made it.
You've got to be busier than David Cross.
How did you do it?
I told Simon and Theodore to fuck off.
I've got to go do...
I've got Doug Loves Movies, man.
They wanted to meet me at Seven Grand.
I'm like, guys, you know,
I've got to keep my podcast cred up.
I got to, if I don't get a mention
in the Podmas column, it's over.
I think you buried the lead.
They're not hanging out with Alvin anymore.
No, no.
It's, oh, you don't read In Touch?
Doug, Jesus Christ, dude.
Just last month,
they were showing
off their house, they share, in style.
And now it's over already?
Well, it's weird. They're all still in
the house, but there's this weird...
You can't see it.
And again, I'm just quoting in touch.
There's like this...
They did the taped off area
where they put the tape down and then pulled it up.
You can clearly apparently still see the marks
and that's Alvin's area.
Which is of course weirdly, it's like the guy
they describe it as like the guy
in the rock group that starts using the day room
on the tour bus as his own room.
And that's the beginning of the end
and the same thing's happening here.
He got the part of the house with the really
with the high pressure toilet, not the
other part.
You could do ten minutes on anything.
Because that was
a good pull. Thank you.
Congratulations, Patton,
on winning the Vanguard Ensemble
Award at the Palm Springs International
Film Festival. Yes.
Were you upset that you didn't win the Sonny Bono
Visionary Award?
That is a thing.
That is really a thing.
It is.
Hang on.
Let me just open my notes here.
Yes, Doug, it was upsetting that I was...
Shit, hang on.
These pages aren't turning.
Get back on the prompter, Romney.
There is...
Wow.
Oh, nice. Is that going to become the new Thank You, Dr. Sanjay Gupta? get back on the prompter Romney there is wow oh nice is that gonna become
the new
thank you
Dr. Sanjay Gupta
get back on the
prompter Romney
that's how you
be able to date
a movie made in
2012
is to have a
character and to go
get back on the
prompter Romney
that's the new
where's the beef
it's like one speech
off of the prompter
and he says out loud
I like firing people
anyway he's the reverse? It's like one speech off of the prompter and he says out loud, I like firing people.
Anyway.
He's the reverse Ron Burgundy.
If he,
the minute he's not
looking at words,
just nothing but evil
comes flying out
of his hand.
So Wayne Fetterman
is also here
and drove from
pretty far away.
Not too far away.
Not too far away. Not too far away.
So that's cool.
The Lake of Toluca.
The Lake of Toluca
is where I'm staying
these days.
I've never seen it,
by the way.
What are you,
Jimi Hendrix?
You just crashed?
I'm crashing Lake Toluca.
I don't believe in
property or houses, man.
I go into a Chipotle,
I lock eyes with someone
and that's,
they take me right home, man.
I'm just, I'm fortune's prisoner i'm just i'm fortune's prisoner man i'm fortune's prisoner i actually am in a house kind of looking after situation oh really yeah
so that's weird you would say that even though i don't play guitar and but i do enjoy i do enjoy
chipotle that's the beginning of every andrew mccarthy movie In the late 80s Right now he starts looking after a house That's something crazy
Susan Sarandon shows up
You know what I'm going to do?
I'm going to do a little change up here
Let's play the game that David Cross has never played before
Right now
Get that over with before he gets here
Is it called the game that David Cross ever played before?
It might be the title of it from now on
I've been calling it Build-A-Title.
Wasn't that the original title of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo?
Was the game that David Cross ever played before?
That was certainly an adult movie when I was watching it.
I was like, God damn it.
The rape that David Cross never committed.
Twice.
I saw that Christmas Day in Chicago.
It was me and my wife.
We needed a break.
My parents said, well, watch your daughter.
We're in this theater at 1140 AM
and it's all these other families
that got in this movie
watching the most clinically graphic
rape sequence.
David Cross is here!
There he is!
David Cross. We were just talking about rape. Just talking about rape. There he is. David Cross.
We were just talking about rape.
Just talking about rape.
I'm sorry.
Okay.
I don't know if you know this.
No, no.
If you say...
Been raped twice and raped once.
If you say clinically graphic rape sequence, he shows up like Beetlejuice.
I don't know if you know.
That's how you summon him.
You know that, right?
The weirdest thing.
Yeah.
I was taking a dump in the St. Louis airport.
Bam!
Next thing I know.
Clinically raped?
Yeah, clinically.
And technically you were shitting your pants
based on how you're dressed.
No, no.
It takes a...
I mean, you don't just immediately appear.
You have time to present yourself.
Yeah, there's a good five-minute way station.
Yeah, they have, like, hand sanitizer.
You take your mask off.
I'm too much of a pussy to teleport, man.
They have some fun jackets for you to choose from.
Really?
Yeah, a hat if you need it.
Oh, nice.
You know, because you don't want to get, like, you know, scorched on your way back into the Earth's atmosphere.
Set the ringer
on Sweet Child of Mine.
I have to say,
interesting Blackberry,
not iPhone.
Oh, interesting
that I have a Blackberry.
Yeah, just,
you're the only comedian.
I'm the only comedian,
keep going.
I've been clinically raped.
One of the few comedians I know that I...
Every time I rape, I take a blackberry from a victim.
It's my way of getting a piece of them.
I feel like I'm close to them.
You're the blackberry buggerer?
Holy shit.
Holy right here.
Right here.
From Birmingham.
God, the blackberry buggerer from Birmingham.
Don't leave your poop chute unattended.
That was my point.
Yeah, that was your point.
That was my point.
Fantastic movie-related discussion.
I'm glad we squeezed it in.
Oh, cinema.
I love it.
You know I love it.
No, but I had never read the book.
I had never seen the original girl. And so I was one of those people. I thought it was like, but I had never read the book. I had never seen the original girl.
I was one of those. I thought
it was like a girl. Like a crime movie.
Yeah, she was funny and she's shit.
Bunky and she's going to be able to figure
out what's going on. We bought a zoo?
Yes, we bought a zoo.
Has two tremendous rape scenes.
Clinical rape scenes.
I'm like, go zebra, go zebra, go!
That was based on the Mr. Hands video, right?
That started with, right?
That was Mr. Hands,
and then they decided to family it up.
A tiger wants what a tiger wants.
It's not rape.
It's not rape in the animal kingdom.
It's just, that's how they do it.
I thought it was very tasteful
when they had the tiger say,
she was, which is the the tiger saying she was raped.
That is like
such bad product placement.
I don't know why.
I know they paid for it, but dude,
find a better way.
That was good, the way your mind works.
Can I say something
to the people that might be offended by this?
And it's a philosophy and a motto that I've lived by,
that rape is really, it's really just a grape without the G.
So, that's a way to...
Good point.
Hence the expression, peel me a rape. It's a way to... Good point. Hence the expression, peel me a rape.
It's a way to think about it.
The minute Cross's voice gets soft and reasonable,
I know something horrifying is coming.
I immediately start laughing, like, here it comes.
What is in this anthropology gift box?
Here it is.
Man, you are plugging away.
I am plugging away, yeah.
You have a deal with anthropology.
And wait until you see how I slip Sephora in later.
You're going to love it.
You're going to love it.
Alright, David
had an event last night
at Cinefamily here in Los Angeles.
Very crowded there. I drove by.
Yeah, great group
of folks over there. Really nice.
It's a fun place, fun setup. Yeah, I liked it a lot.
I haven't been in there since they redid it.
It's really great. And you showed sort of
a kind of a movie
assemblage of your show?
The first season, Todd Margaret, without
the, well,
what the intention was, and we did it in Austin, everything on a blue wave with all the credits and the openings kind of taken out.
So it all ran together.
And as one, we still had the cold tags in there, but it just went right into the next one.
And we weren't able to do that exactly last night, but it was close enough. So the entire season without the openings and whatever these cold tags in there, but it just went right into the next one. And we weren't able to do that exactly last night, but it was close enough.
So the entire season without the openings
and whatever these cold tags are?
The cold tags were in.
Wait, you are a professional
and have been in this business for nearly three decades.
You can't put air quotes around cold tags.
No, but everyone would know what they are.
Like, hey, we took out the cold tags.
Thank God. Thank God.
I was worried that the cold tags were going to be...
But they did leave in the cold tags. He's just saying
that they sort of don't make sense because they're quick little tags.
And then there's no credit sequence right after them.
Of course. I got it.
It ran as,
you know, with the little bumps, it ran as
a movie. No breaks,
nothing in between.
How long does that run?
It's a whole season, right?
Yeah, the
last five were 19 minutes
and 25 seconds long.
Let me get my calculator app.
I'm sorry. And the first one we played the extended
which is on the DVD, the extended
episode one because we had to cut like seven minutes
of story and fun stuff out
to make,
you know, 19 minutes.
But the second and final season debuts when?
Yes, it's the final season on purpose.
Relax.
He mapped it out.
The guy fucking lost his mind out there.
No.
No, keep it going until it gets deluded.
Make him make more.
More bad decisions.
It started last Friday.
Oh, okay.
So it's ongoing and on demand and all that, right?
Yeah.
But you know what?
Although it's IFC, so I'm not sure.
I went to, I flew in on Friday night,
and then I was at my girlfriend's house,
and she has the cable package that I guess everybody on Friday night, and then I was at my girlfriend's house.
She has the cable package that I guess everybody in Venice does, and can't get IFC.
So fuck it, huh?
It's the second largest city in the country, and you can't get IFC.
It's the second largest country in the city.
Venice is kind of a country.
Isn't that the name of an Atlanta rhythm section song?
No.
When he says second,
he meant the Todd Margaret Nation,
which they just sort of,
it's like the Navajo thing.
It's just kind of everywhere.
But they are
the second largest country.
Have you been to,
oh, sorry, go.
No.
Speaking of CineFamily,
I just want to mention
that the first annual
Wayne Fetterman
International Film Festival
starts this Thursday
with
Gary Shandling is gonna show
King of Comedy. Yes
Great idea man. They told me about that last night. That's it really really. Yeah, that's a that's a great idea
a way to keep yourself relevant through other
The mark marron yourself relevant through other you what the fucker yeah so Gary Shanley showing
King of Comedy out of bounds to say that? That's sold out already.
I was kidding.
That was good-natured fun between friends.
I meant I was kidding, too.
I meant that.
But that's the first thing David said to me when he was on the Benson Interruption.
This is a pretty clever way to have funny comics
and you just sit there and take all the glory
sitting next to them, and it's true.
We're really figuring it out.
Wait, that is what you're fucking doing.
Shit!
I love that about the interruption.
When you did it
in Seattle at Bumbershoot one time, this was years
ago, you had a big plush chair.
A ridiculous, like a throne.
Yeah, and you just sat there in the back, high as a kite plush chair. A ridiculous, like a throne. Yeah, and he just sat
there in the back, high as a
kite, and you're doing your
act in front of him, and he's like,
that's like cereal.
It's like every stoner's dream.
I did love how
he changed from being in the darkness
of the audience to, no, I'm going to be
in a room on stage. The other comedians have to, no, I'm going to be in a room on stage
that the other comedians have to work around.
I'm in this too, Pat.
It became the Doug Benson obstruction.
We're just trying to somehow
peek around you while you're just
in front of us going, nice tag,
asshole.
If I could just get the attention
on me for a second.
Why is my mic lower than Doug's?
Why is he illuminated and I'm in darkness?
This is a fucked up setup.
What's he doing?
This is just like doing Marc Maron's podcast.
So, International Film Festival.
Because you've got to put the word international in,
even though you've got one movie from England, right?
So it's not really an international film festival.
Well, Michael Lee's movie's from England.
That's what I said, one movie from England.
No, Darlene is also from England.
Oh, okay.
Are these your favorite films?
No, this is what's going on.
Let me tell you.
Yeah, tell us about it.
You called your friends.
Okay.
No, you called your friends.
I called my friends
and I said what movie would you I I curate the comedians the comedians
curate the films so here rate the comedians all right anyway I do a I
called like a medium for He makes a phone call.
I make a phone call.
That's my curator.
He'll send a text.
The modern curating.
And then I asked them for a movie they either loved
or were inspired by or was influential in their life.
The only caveat was that they couldn't be involved
with the movie in any way.
Couldn't act, produce.
So it's not them promoting it.
Constantly out there doing a Q&A after a movie they're in.
Constantly doing that.
It's the opportunity to take questions
about a movie you had nothing to do with.
Yeah, it would be a movie you have nothing to do with.
Nothing at all.
It's pretty awesome.
And if you guys are,
I know Patton and David aren't involved this year,
but this is the first annual.
You asked me, the dates gave me,
I absolutely couldn't do it,
but if you keep doing this,
you know I'm going to do that.
It's going to be great.
If you're listening to this,
this comes out on Friday.
I might need you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll talk to you afterwards.
I'll give you my card.
This comes out on Friday.
You want to be curated.
This comes out on Friday, and that night at 11 o'clock i'm doing a movie interruption it's not a movie that i appreciate in any way whatsoever
and did not inspire me except to make fun of it i'm showing the tom cruise classic cocktail
yeah and we'll chat it up during that it's a movie where you have to root for a hero who wants to take the idea of
a corner tavern
and put it in shopping malls. And that is
his journey
and you're rooting
for him to completely destroy
something good. That is the whole point of the film.
Please get that shit in shopping malls.
I can't believe bartender poetry
did not catch on
after that movie. And also, why wasn't he able to fill shopping malls with drunks?
Why wasn't he able to do that?
That would have been so great for America.
You're right about that.
And Andy Kindler's showing the great
Albert Brooks movie Modern Romance on Saturday.
And who am I leaving out?
Kevin Pollack is also showing Theing the first in-laws.
Which is a great movie,
according to four people in this audience.
Four older people.
That's the whole idea of the festival.
Just a film that you love.
And the comics will do stand-up before the film.
And they do a little bit of stand-up.
Introduce the film,
and then afterwards do a cue in like,
Hey, it's different than the way I remember it. A Q&Hey!
That's right.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I meant to say,
uh, cereal.
But here's the weird thing.
The patent is here
because one of the inspirations
for the festival
was Patton at the New Beverly introducing Fistfoot Way once.
I thought that was interesting.
I was like, oh, maybe we should do a whole...
Yeah, there's something I could steal.
Well, Edgar Wright just did a really cool festival of films.
He's always...
He asked like five of his friends, send me the ten films that I should see.
Like, you've got to see these movies.
And it was all movies he had never seen that his friends have always bothered him to watch. should see like you've got to see these movies and it was all movies
he had never seen
that his friends
have always bothered him
to watch
to get to feel all that
yeah so it was really
it was really interesting
yeah like I've never seen
a Katherine Heigl movie
so someday I hope
to put together
a festival
where I watch them
with my friends
and charge people
I'm lying I saw Knocked Up so I saw the one that started them with my friends and charge people.
I'm lying.
I saw it knocked up.
So,
I saw the one that started
the whole mess.
A terrible way
to look at your career.
And this one
just started everything.
Just started the fire
and animals died.
That's how it all...
That one, like,
launched her
and then she forgot
to involve herself
with anybody
that was funny
or interesting
or anything.
Okay, so let's play
Build a Title.
That's what I was going
to do when David ran in.
I thought she was
in a Josh Duhamel film.
Yeah, you forgot about that one.
You got me.
I forgot about
the Josh Duhamel film.
Yeah, that's right.
I love that David Cross
even made a Josh Duhamel
reference.
Well, if you rewind it, you'll see that I mispronounced it and said,
Who-mel?
And I didn't know that.
He's the Timothy Ola fan of people that look like Timothy Ola fan.
All right, let's play Build a Title.
Let's play it.
Yeah, we're going to play a speed round of this game.
How does it work?
I'll tell you.
We'll start with who seems to think they have the greatest handle on this.
I think because both of you haven't been on the show recently enough to have played this, but Wayne has.
Basically, I throw out a title, and the first person has to add another movie to the title
by using either the last word of the title or the first
word, and you link it up and make a long
title. It's going to go really
fast. Use real movies.
The starter movie, we'll start with Wayne
and we'll go to Pat and then David.
The starter movie, suggested
by Soupy845 on Twitter,
is Spaceballs.
You need a movie that begins
with the word balls. Lost in Spaceballs.
Or, okay.
Well done.
So Lost in Spaceballs. So Pat, you need a movie
that ends with the word lost, or
begins with the word balls.
Lost in Spaceballs of Fury.
Very well done.
So now David needs a movie that ends with lost
or begins with fury.
And you have five seconds.
In translation, then in parentheses, lost.
Okay, you're out.
Wade Fetterman.
Oh, I thought that was the end of the game.
Ends with lost or begins with fury?
Ends with lost?
Yeah.
Not so easy.
I know, I know.
Time's up. Patton?
Land of the Lost and Spaceballs with Fury.
We have a winner!
We have a winner.
I saw that movie, Land of the Lost, too.
That's fun when we make it go really fast, isn't it? We have a winner. We have a winner. Nice to meet you. I saw that movie, Land of the Lost, too. Yeah.
That's fun when we make it go really fast, isn't it?
I like it.
You did one.
It was like one of the longest sustained ones on the show.
Oh, it's ridiculous sometimes how long it goes on forever, right?
Yeah, yeah.
You can get a good one sometimes, but it's a fun game to play in a car that you're stuck in.
Now, this is another aspect of the show
That I don't know if Pat and David have participated in this
But for the Leonard Maltin game
Which we were about to play
Everyone in the audience or a lot of people in the audience
Have name tags of some sort
Something with their name written on it
Looks like she's got a shake weight over there
What?
Oh shit
It's crazy some of the things people make
So each of you go out in the audience and pick one sign that speaks to you
that you would like to play for them.
It's like a hipster let's make a deal.
In this game.
I don't know.
Just pick something.
Yeah, just pick anybody and take their name tag and bring it back with you to your seat.
There's Sam is here.
I see it.
What does that say on it?
And what is it?
Oh, it's his weed card.
Oh. Issued by Dr. Howard E. Leiserman.
Yeah, that's not made up.
There you go.
Congratulations on having that.
You guys got a Sir Mix-a-Lot album.
All right.
Let's see.
Patton got a wallet, everybody.
What's in it?
What's in your wallet?
Coins?
What the fuck?
He's a child.
Here's a quarter.
Call your mother.
Tell her you'll never be on I Love Movies again.
It also doesn't have your name on it anywhere.
This is your name tag. Because it's never be on I Love Movies again. It also doesn't have your name on it anywhere.
This is your name tag.
Because it's got an ID in the thing.
Okay.
And two coins.
Never know when you're going to walk by a fountain.
All right.
And David, of course, picked the shake weight.
Nice.
That says, what's the name of the person?
Nicole.
Nicole's shake weight.
Does he get to keep that or does he have to give it back?
It's not really working.
It doesn't work for you?
Is that what it is?
She just hit the thing.
That's so dirty.
Is that what it is?
Yeah, that's what
you're supposed to do.
Can you feel it?
Can you believe it?
But it's not jerky off enough.
I thought it was supposed to,
I thought it was supposed to,
like, it was like
an uncircumcised penis.

name's Kate.
Uh-huh.
And she changed
a poster for Garden State
into Garden Kate.
Am I right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Very nicely done.
It's a pretty good
little debut movie.
And it says about her
at the bottom,
Marvel is fun.
That's good to know
about you, Kate.
By Peter Travers.
One of the toughest critics.
Yeah, especially
when it comes to pussy.
Oh, and I fucked her.
It was marvelous fun.
I can't wait to see her poster for Altered Cates.
That's going to be amazing.
Come on.
In the goddamn salt tank with Charles Haidt.
to be amazing. Come on.
In the goddamn salt tank with Charles Haidt.
Okay, so what's the wallets
guy's name again? Harrison.
Harrison Wallet. Okay.
Nicole with the Shake Weight and Garden Kate. That's
who you guys are playing for. Nice. Patton
won the chance to go first here
so I will give you three categories
to choose from, Patton. Wait, what are we doing?
Playing the Leonard Maltin game. I don't know what that is.
You know the Leonard Maltin game.
Once we start playing, you'll recognize it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And again, we'll go to Wayne next,
so you can go third.
All right, we'll start with Pat,
and you get to pick a category.
At Vox, Y-N-N, Voxen,
suggested Doug's mom loves movies,
and this is movies that I've told people
that I saw with my mom.
Which really isn't that great of a clue to...
It's a lot of Lars von Trier.
Yes, we went and saw Melancholia on Christmas Day.
Oh, boy.
I go see a movie with my mom every year on Christmas Day, so it's one of those.
Gamall, A-U-L-L on Twitter, suggested Eat Drink Man
Woman, which is films that feature
cannibalism.
Clever.
And then
At Twin Cinema suggested Wayans
World, which is films that
feature one or more of the
Wayans acting dynasty.
They really are the New Barrymores.
Truly.
Treading the board.
Which one of those categories would you like to play, Patton?
I'm going to do the cannibalism one.
Okay.
Seems like that's up your alley.
Yep.
This is from 2001, is the year of this movie Leonard Maltin gives
it two stars he calls it a big long tease and he says it was followed by a
prequel it's from 2001 two stars big long tease followed by a prequel has
cannibalism in it and there are nine names listed how many names do
you think you can get it in Patton Oswalt I can't believe I get that in
uh features cannibalism get it in five names nice good I like it. I'm glad. What year was that?
The year was 2001.
9-11.
Okay. Okay.
David really has a head for dates.
He's like,
I can never remember when that happened.
What year was that again
I don't know
it was in the 70s right
no he's like
Mary Lou Henry
can remember every detail
it's crazy
I'm gonna say name it

I think he will
here we go
here's your five names

you didn't have to do
anything this time
and you get to pick
in the next round
you're like the saddest make a wish kid ever See, David, you didn't have to do anything this time. And you get to pick in the next round.
You're like the saddest make-a-wish kid ever.
You get to watch your friends do the water slide.
Okay.
Won't that be fun?
To watch Terry and Julie go down?
Yeah.
I have cancer.
That wouldn't prevent me from going on the water slide.
Maybe we misread you.
I thought your wish was to take your friends to a water park.
Did we get that one wrong?
You wanted to watch your friends enjoy a water slide all day?
No, I said I wanted to go to the water park with my friends.
Oh, okay.
Oh, you know what?
They're already up there.
Okay, go ahead.
Go ahead, Julie.
Oh, look at her go.
Whoa.
I could probably get up there.
Oh, you didn't see the sign that says
you can only have this much cancer to go on this ride?
I'm sorry, you have too much cancer.
Oh. I'm sorry, you have too much cancer. Oh, that sad, fake little boy.
I feel terrible for him.
Oh, you guys, his made-up character just died.
Hang on, wait a second.
Rape, cancer.
Okay, we got 9-11. Holocaust is left.
Okay, here we go.
Ready?
And you know what?
We say AIDS every week, so we can skip it this time.
Oh, yeah, that's true.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, disappointment.
More disappointment about that than the kid dying.
All right.
Your five names are Hazel Goodman, Jelko Ivonek, Francesca Neri, Frankie R. Faison, and Gary
Oldman in this
nine-name movie from 2001 that
Leonard gave two stars.
Hannibal.
Hannibal rides with Hannibal.
Hannibal.
Chianti.
Patton gets a point.
David gets to pick the next category.
Would you like Suggested by Electric Lemon?
Doug
Loves Groupies? That's
movies about bands.
Or Weezer on the
Soundtrack? That's a movie that has a
Weezer song on the soundtrack. Nobody ever picks
the category because how would you even know?
That's because people hate
Star Wars prequels.
There's no Weezer songs in any of the Star Wars films
And as far as I know
George might add them when he's adding 3D
Pretty sure the first lightsaber duel is to the sweater song
If I remember correctly, when Darth Maul
Alright, we'll talk about it later
Weezercruise.com.
And then,
at Derek underscore Hayes suggests short film,
which is a film that has one or more little people in it.
So, David, do you like groupies, Weezer, or little people?
I guess I'll go with groupies.
Okay, this is a movie about a band,
or one band or more, let's say.
Three and a half stars.
It was from the year 2000.
It won a screenplay for...
I mean, it won an Oscar.
It won a screenplay for Best Oscar.
It's a character named Oscar in it,
and he was amazing,
and so then they gave him a screenplay.
No, it won an Oscar for Best Screenplay,
and then he says about this movie that this one's from the heart.
That's what Leonard says.
Three and a half stars.
Why didn't you give it four stars if it's so heartful?
Is it from the heart?
Yeah.
And there are 12 names listed.
Okay.
So how many names do you think you can get it in?
Start off the bidding.
Then we go to Patton after you.
And when you list the names, are they all
like at the bottom? It's from the bottom, yeah.
So you're getting the most obscure name.
Five.
Alright. That's good.
Two.
Now we go to Wayne.
It's from the heart. It's about a band
or some bands.
I gotta have him answer that too, because I don't think I can do it
with one. I can do it with none.
No, I can't.
So Patton's two names.
Could be for the game, right?
Could be, yeah. I'm
100% confident that Patton will pull
this off.
Three and a half stars.
2,000.
Oscar for screenplay.
From the heart.
And your two names are
Peter Frampton and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Almost famous.
That's correct.
And Patton is our winner.
There he goes.
You took it down.
Took it down.
You took it right down to Chinatown.
I thought, all right, I remember this game.
Wait, I remember this game like there's all kinds of crazy different games.
Yeah, oh, lots of things could happen, but you just shut it down.
You didn't.
I had no idea.
Yeah, yeah.
And by the way, I won.
That's right, right?
He got both points.
I won naming a movie that Mitch Hedberg and Mark Mariner are in.
Lock the gates!
And Jimmy Fallon's in that movie, too, if I'm not mistaken.
And the guy who directed it did the zoo movie, right?
Am I wrong?
Yeah, Cameron Crowe.
We bought a zoo.
That's the name of the movie.
It's great because they're like,
what should we do? Should we buy this zoo?
And they're like, okay, let's buy this zoo.
Now let's open this zoo.
Oh, we might not be able to open.
Hey, we opened.
Spoilers.
Is that actual dialogue?
That was haunting.
What else is Scarlett Johansson going to say?
So, I love her.
All right, so you were playing for the wallet guy, Harrison the Wallet.
So here you go.
Here's your prize bag.
Congratulations.
What are we doing this?
Let me look and see if she wrote on the back who she wants to call a shithead.
She did not.
Do you want this back?
Where is Kate? Where you at, Kate?
Where'd you get this from? Way up there?
Can you come down here? Is it possible?
Okay. You guys couldn't see it from
my angle, but Cross just sadly
picked up and then put down the Shakeway.
It was the most poignant thing I've ever seen.
Just this kind of...
It's like
David's only Christmas gift.
We didn't do it this time, Shaky
What is sexual about it?
Give it to me
Are you Kate?
Okay, here, write down
Who you want me to call a shithead
Here at the end
I gotta give you
The proper marker for this
It'd be more like
Rocco Sefardis
And then where's Where's Nicole? Oh, yeah, write it on there That's fine the proper marker for this. It'd be more like Rocco Sefardis.
And then where's Nicole?
Oh, yeah, write it on there.
That's fine.
Because since they lost,
they get to pick somebody for me to call a shithead.
Anybody they want,
I'll name a shithead
and then over 7,200 people
will hear it.
That's a good one.
Now, could you write that
in English for me?
Who is that?
Oh, really?
Okay.
I like him.
Anyway, it's her choice.
I got to do it.
Let's do some, since we have a second here, that game went so fast.
Let's start with Wayne.
Yeah.
And favorite movie of last year.
I know you always have a favorite. Well, I do.
And you know I never have. That doesn't have rape in it.
Right, right, right. I never
have a top ten because I feel like no
year ever has ten great movies.
That's my theory in life.
Even the best years
in Hollywood, you might get four.
I agree. Yeah. So these
top ten, I don't even know what they're like.
They're ten best,
but that doesn't even mean
they're a good movie.
Just say you're the best
and do however many.
That's what the Oscars
are going to do this year.
Might be five,
might be ten.
Right, right.
We've talked about that before.
Yeah, it's exciting.
All right.
It's ridiculously boring,
but I love the artist.
I just thought
it was phenomenal.
You're right.
It is ridiculously boring.
I like that quite a bit. Yeah, it's really good.
It's really inventive
is what I'd say about it. It sort of
reminded me of two or three Woody Allen
movies where he took a premise
and it went off like
Proverbs of Cairo. It is effective in
what it's trying to do. I just thought it was very...
I like this movie the kids
in over here. Young Adult? was very and i like this movie the kids in over here
young adult yeah i really like that movie would it have killed you to just say young adult not bring up some other piece of the kid that is getting into movies come on what was that what
was that one flickeroony he did i it. The only thing missing was saying,
your little movie.
My little movie.
Or calling it a picture.
What was the picture that you did?
I saw it.
I saw it.
It's one picture.
More than one time I saw a young adult.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm a big fan of young adult rat tattooing.
Woo!
I said them all.
David Cross, you say you also enjoyed The Artist,
but what did you enjoy more?
Girl.
Tattoo.
I didn't see that movie.
I didn't see a whole lot.
And I only saw, I think, two movies
the entire time I was in London.
Oh, Four Lions.
Did that come out last year?
Yeah.
Four Lions.
I've heard tremendous things about Four Lions.
It's sort of been out for a couple of years because it hasn't really gotten a great distribution.
It was playing festivals a lot, but it never really came out.
Yeah.
It's been like, I think it was like at the Sunset Five here for a little bit or something.
And I didn't get out to see it and I wanted to because I've only heard four.
What is it about?
I don't even know.
It's about.
It's so funny.
Oh, yeah. No, I saw a really, you know, when you say it was out for a while, it's because I've only heard it's really good. What is it about? I don't even know this. It's about It's so funny. Oh yeah,
no,
I saw a really,
you know,
when you say it was out
for a while,
it's because I remember
for last year,
it just seemed to me
there were constant
screeners floating around
of that movie
before they could not
get anyone
to touch this thing
and finally,
the draft house did.
Tim Leake said,
I'll put this thing out
and it's,
you describe it,
it's,
it's four Is it about a zoo? The Draft House did. Tim Leake said, I'll put this thing out. You describe it.
It's four... Is it about a zoo?
We bought four lions.
That's what it sounds like to me.
They're cuddly.
It's four British-born Muslim men who become terrorists.
And it's
very grounded,
but it's also, it's a good
mix of a real grounded
thing with a lot of bumbling,
but very real
bumbling. Which, by the way, is based
on, because I read an interview with Chris Morris, the guy that
does the Brass Eye, and he
read articles about these terrorists, that they get these guys.
And the reason they become terrorists is they're not very educated.
They don't have a lot of opportunities.
And a lot of them, terrorist plots are full because they blow themselves up.
Two guys strapped on detonators.
And then before they went on their respective suicide missions, hugged each other and ignited them.
And that's a real thing that happened.
So when you know stuff like that and you watch Four Lines, you're like, oh, you know what it is?
It's like if Christopher Guest made a movie about Al-Qaeda.
And it really is the closest thing.
But I disagree because he has a lot of, not all of them, but at least half of his characters are kind of arch.
And there are no arch characters
in Four Lions.
There's one that I think gets a little...
You mean Kaven?
You're talking about Kaven's guy?
Yeah, gets a little bit sitcom-y,
but again,
then when you read the stories
of these actual guys,
it isn't really that far off.
And they're trying to blow up lions.
Once we blow up these four lions,
then we will visit Allah or whoever.
I still don't understand.
But it's really good,
and it's surprisingly,
I mean, it's not surprising
if you know Chris Morris' work,
but it's surprising how,
just how real and grounded it is,
and it actually, at the end of it,
it's a little sad.
There's a scene at the end
that was genuinely touching
that I almost got a little
I can't believe I'm getting choked up
In the middle of all this
Genuine violence and genuine comedy
And then there's this emotional scene
That does not feel like it's shoved in
And it feels totally organic and real
Yeah it's
It's a really well done movie
And very funny too
And what's your latest pick
from last year?
You know, there was a movie
that came out.
You can't vote for your own movie.
Oh, then this year wasn't good.
It's not a good year.
Like that's how you're gonna start it.
There was a movie
that came out last year.
Every once in your lifetime
you will see.
There was a movie that came out that actually,
I don't think it's the best movie that came out this year.
It actually has a lot of problems with it.
But it so feels like the announcement of somebody
that's going to be a great filmmaker.
Avatar.
Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
Couple of problems with the...
Keep an eye out for that guy.
Keep an eye out.
And I'll say it right now, Jack Cameron,
that name, when you see Avatar,
you will not forget that name.
No, it was called
Bellflower.
And I had a lot of...
I had a lot of problems with the second half,
but there's still like... But you know what it reminds me of?
When you watch really early Scorsese
and there's this, like,
holy fuck, you are being so emotionally invested.
I'm talking to Scorsese,
like, you're so young and you're so pissed off
and there's so much emotion,
but you're such a goddamn brilliant filmmaker.
And you watch this movie, Bellflower,
where this young filmmaker...
He's a talent. Evan Glodell is his name.
Evan Glodell.
He's been on the show.
And he, like, built his own equipment.
Like, he builds his own cameras. He builds his own cameras.
He's pretty savant-y.
He doesn't even seem like a guy that would make movies.
And then he's
really has done a good job.
Isn't he acting it? Isn't he the star?
He's the star, yeah. And he's good.
Most people that act in
and direct their own movie
seem pretty confident.
Like Zach Braff. Like Zach Braff.
Like Zach Braff, exactly.
I'm so glad you came up with the perfect example
because we gotta go.
This has been...
No, seriously, if you get a chance,
go see Bellflower.
It's like the announcement of something,
of someone new, this guy Evan Lodell
who is clearly gonna have a decade.
Yeah, I think it's still rolling out in art theaters
and it's probably on demand
and it'll be on cable and DVD and all that.
So do check that out.
Great suggestions, you guys.
Those are really, really educated
responses.
To a
gotcha question. I was trying to make you look like
idiots.
Let me ask you this. What magazine do you read?
This year? Green Lantern.
Sorry, never mind.
Nobody gives enough credit to that guy.
Quick plugs.

You know Christopher Plummer's dying.
You know that, right?
This podcast is over.
Did you ever think
he would have to fight Christopher Plummer?
In your life growing up being a movie nerd?
I did get a fortune cookie in 1991 that said specifically that.
So I shouldn't have laughed at it.
I'm also up for a Best Supporting Actor at the Wayne Fetterman International Film Awards.
That is tomorrow night at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles.
It's...
