Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seats with 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth. They're still not warm, that he won't sleep, because Doug loves movies. Hey everybody, my name is, and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies, coming to you from the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater on Tuesday, April 23rd, 2 Oceans 13. Since last I spoke and you listened, I saw Star Trek Into Darkness, motherfuckers. Yeah, I did.
Starting point is 00:00:41 I watched it. Eyeballed it. Beginning to end. Well, it ran out during the credits, so I don't know ifballed it. Beginning to end. Well, I ran out during the credits, so I don't know if there's a scene at the end. But thank you to Paramount for letting me into one of the first ever, I think the first ever screening of the movie with people
Starting point is 00:00:56 that didn't have anything to do with making it. And I won't spoil anything, but I will say that if you're a Star Trek fan, you will love it. And if you're not a Star Trek fan, you still might think, and if you're not a Star Trek fan, you still might think it's pretty fun. You still might kind of enjoy it. Now it's time for Tweet Relief,
Starting point is 00:01:11 tweets about movies. At Cheyenne Wright tweeted, that was fast. HBO Films has a sequel lined up for Burt Wonderstone. I think it's called Behind the Candelabra. This has been Tweet Rel relief, tweets about movies. That's pretty solid reference, but you have to have seen all the ads
Starting point is 00:01:32 for the Liberace movie on HBO and be some of the few that saw Burt Wonderstone to put that all together. So that wasn't fun for everybody, but it was fun for me. St. Louis! I hope you haven't been destroyed yet as depicted in the TV show Defiance
Starting point is 00:01:53 because I will be at the Firebird in St. Louis on Saturday, May 4th. Let's look in the prize bag, you guys. Yeah. There's some good stuff in there. There's a motion picture that I'll talk about
Starting point is 00:02:08 a little later. There's another there's some sort of comedy video. I brought a shirt that was given to me by the good people
Starting point is 00:02:18 at houseofhaha.com and oh look at this another thing somebody gave me a bunch of hint water. And it says, drink water, not sugar. So it kind of berates you.
Starting point is 00:02:33 And then gives you a delicious water with a hint of lime. That's why it's called Hint, I'm assuming. Smug Life, my CD. Some deliciousness that we'll talk about. Yeah, there's definitely, like, if you're hungry, you want to win tonight. And I heart you sticker. Not necessarily bumper.
Starting point is 00:02:56 You can put it anywhere. I'm not going to tell you what to do with it, but with some little, the heart is weed in the shape of a heart. I weed heart you. So I don't know what that's about. Please help me in welcoming Beck Bennett, Pete Holmes, and Werner Herzog. Doug, I was telling a ghost story and you ruined it.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Hello. I stepped on your ghost story. You stepped on my ghost story punchline. It was very scary. And you know what's embarrassing is I was telling it and Paul, oh, Werner, fuck.
Starting point is 00:03:44 I'm sorry! I didn't do that to ruin things! A moment earlier, it was different. I don't understand. What did you ruin? Because one of the guys that works here, Paul, was backstage as well. There it is. That's why they know you as the
Starting point is 00:03:59 professional. That's how they know me. I am Leon the professional. Oh, you only drink milk and you shoot sniper bullets with children? That movie's fucking creepy. Is he fucking her? No, he doesn't make love to her.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Is he finger making love to her? Little baby Natalie Portman, but you knew she was going to be hot. Smelling the back of her neck. Alright, Pete Holmes is here. I guess I should say that. Spooting. Hello. Just got to get right to the fact
Starting point is 00:04:29 that Pete Holmes is here. There's no ignoring that Pete Holmes is here. Congratulations on your new television program premiering in November. Thank you very much, Jack. I look forward

Starting point is 00:05:03 Is there anything lamer? How can we make our network appeal to Americans? Call it USA? You're the CEO. That's a lot of acronyms. AAA, HIV. Pete Holmes and his acronym humor. I love good acronym humor.
Starting point is 00:05:20 It's great to have you here, buddy. All right. Is there like an off switch or something? Should we? So this woman is dropping her child. Great to have you here, buddy. All right. Is there like an off switch or something? Or should we... So this woman is dropping her child. She got the child in the car and it's like... Wait, this is the ghost story? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:36 This is it. It's so fast. Does it have anything to do with movies? Yes. No, it doesn't. You liar. You liar. Yeah. No, it doesn't. You liar. You liar. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:46 No, it does. You're a liar. Try to slip it in later. This woman was... There's been too much Pete Holmes so far. I agree. We have to go
Starting point is 00:05:54 to the other guests. All right. Because they're, you know, they're great guys that came down and they're, you know,
Starting point is 00:06:00 they're just not... Listen to this guy's voice. It's not going to fight with you. It's going to be worth the download. Well, the reason that Beck Bennett is here, everybody... Hello, everybody. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:06:09 The reason that he is here is because... Hello. I think those AT&T commercials he's in are hilarious. Oh, well, thank you. And he has to deal with children. Yeah, I know. And you, Pete Holmes, are the E-Trade baby. Yes, I am.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I'm the baby. Yeah, I'm a baby. Who cares? More effeminate. I'm the baby. This is the worst body switch movie ever made. Well, you know, doing those commercials is always hard work. Stop doing that.
Starting point is 00:06:42 Working with children and you never know what you're going to get. Well, you know what? Thank you for having me. Pete, I just want to say I'm a big fan. I don't think anybody's doing it quite like you. Thank you so much, Beck. The way your body moves just makes me cum. I just wanted to say something about the way you're abnormally shaped and proportioned.
Starting point is 00:07:02 Yeah, no, I agree. Your head's a little too big. normally shaped and proportioned. Yeah, no, I agree. Your head's a little too big. This is why noted filmmaker and madman Werner Herzog is here, because... Oh, you can't rob him, he got nothing. Because somebody has to help me keep control of this.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I am curious to discover that I have some sort of purpose being here. Well, you're also the Leonard Maltin game champion ongoing. Thank you. The Leonard what now? Yeah, that's a game that we play on the show sometimes. Not if I win my game. It's usually not when Pete Holmes is on.
Starting point is 00:07:46 We usually don't get to all the games. Pete, I like you a lot. I think you look like Jeff Bridges and you went time traveling and something went wrong. Thank you so much. That's my Pete Holmes voice. It's pretty good. Can I hear you speak?
Starting point is 00:08:01 Yeah, I'll give you a little touchstone. Hey, Doug, thanks for having me. Hey, Doug, thanks for having me. Hey, Doug, thanks for having me. Now let's do Norm MacDonald. Hey, Doug, thanks so much for having me. I hope my film Dirty Work comes out. I got a sports show. I got a big gambling problem.
Starting point is 00:08:17 I'm trying to imagine a universe in which this would be entertaining to the listener. Guys, time traveling to roast us. I don't know what that's accomplishing. I loved you in Jack Reacher. Just kidding. Out now on Blu-ray.
Starting point is 00:08:37 And Werner brought a copy of a motion picture he made with Klaus Kinski called My Best Friend. Please hold your applause as Doug is incorrect. It is entitled My Best Fiend because it is about my relationship with noted psychopath and part-time actor Klaus Kinski.
Starting point is 00:08:57 As you see on the cover, I am smiling rapturously as he is holding a machete to my throat with a look of messianic ecstasy on his face, attempting to end my life. Can I see that? Yeah, I want to look at that. Yep, that's exactly what's going on there.
Starting point is 00:09:17 Who is Klaus? I'm sorry that I have not provided a copy of my new release, Jack Reacher, in which I play an acting role. I, of course, will be shipped a copy of my new release, Jack Reacher, in which I play an acting role. I, of course, will be shipped a crate of them from the studio, but they have not yet arrived. I want to caution everyone that it does not yet seem to be in stores from what I'm told. So before you go driving all over the goddamn city like some sort of idiot, before you go driving all over the goddamn city like some sort of idiot,
Starting point is 00:09:45 maybe research before you get in your car that Jack Reacher is not yet in stores. Love T-Cruise. In case that happens to anyone. Wait, is that a news story? I feel like we're laughing more. There's like an informity to that laugh. An informity.
Starting point is 00:10:09 It's laughing like they know something. Werner was just telling it like it is. Some people have a poor grasp of the English language. I don't know that informity is a word. It's a word. It's like conformity, but more informative.
Starting point is 00:10:24 I think you may be suffering from an infirmity that affects your speech center. I think they have a sale on informatees down at American Apparel. I prefer the novelty as they have at Spencer's.
Starting point is 00:10:40 And Beck also brought a VHS copy of Yakov Smirnov's What a Country comedy video. a VHS copy Of Yakov Smirnov's What a Country Comedy video Great VHS It's hard to tell if he autographed it Or if it's just $8
Starting point is 00:10:53 Is that an autograph? No, it's $8 I'm charging $8 for it If you win it, you owe me $8 And what are these delicious things that you brought? Those are cake monkeys. Does anybody know what cake monkeys are? I don't.
Starting point is 00:11:12 See, he said to me backstage, like, I was supposed to go, oh, yeah, cake monkeys. Yeah. So just to be clear, you brought two gifts. Yeah, I brought two gifts. Okay. Because cake monkey just looks like the fanciest ho-ho. Yes. And there's also a really super fancy
Starting point is 00:11:28 ding dong it's like ho-hos and ding dongs for like middle aged people who have grown up and like can't buy that stuff anymore you know
Starting point is 00:11:36 and feel good about it so they get those they get cake monkeys you go to the cake you're like oh I'm like grown up and I'm mature so I'll get a cake monkey
Starting point is 00:11:43 you'd have to isolate the audio to hear my joke. It would be worth it. I cannot wait to get out my pro tools when I get home. You know, Werner, I set them up,
Starting point is 00:12:00 you knock them down. Little game we call bowling in this country. I get real xenophobic. Do you think bowling has other names in other countries? Yeah, round ball white man. You want to play round ball
Starting point is 00:12:14 white man? Where do they call it that? In Ukraine. Where they call Coca-Cola black sugar water. Hot, hot, pop, pop. What is this that you brought, Pete? Look, I'm not here to say I didn't bring a quinoa decadence bar. But I totally did.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Because some of us want the chocolate in our treats to be raw. The chocolate in my treats are raw? I don't believe you. Well, I'll show you after the show. I want to see right now. I can't. It's not appropriate. Here, I'll show you after the show. I want to see right now. I can't. It's not appropriate.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Here, I'll be one of the children in your commercial. What's the topic? What's the topic? Well, lemonade is sour, sweet. My sister spilled it on the car. Let me just interject quickly that this is happening. He really likes the commercials a lot. I do like them a lot.
Starting point is 00:13:10 Are we rolling on this? I did not think it was possible for this dynamic to yield less. It's not fair. You're over there sharpshooting like one of the old Muppets, you son of a bitch. Why don't you join us over here trying to make the show? You think I can't just sit in a tower
Starting point is 00:13:30 and sharpshoot other people's efforts? Fuck you, you're like the Ukrainian Jesselnik, you son of a bitch. I love you, and I like your body. We can't be playing the games yet. How many games have we played? I got a couple of games lined up. What are they?
Starting point is 00:13:54 One that you've never played before. The Leonard Maltin game? That's easy to understand. Oh. And yes, the Leonard Maltin game. Yeah. But I thought I'd ask you, I agree with you, we should still have a little bit morein game. Yeah. But I thought I'd ask you... I agree with you.
Starting point is 00:14:06 We should still have a little bit more movie talk. Yeah. Yeah. Or some. Yeah. See, I knew Werner would help me to keep this under control. I feel like you're the rodeo guy and he's the prairie dog and we're the fucking...
Starting point is 00:14:21 Well, I'm the retarded stallion. Just bucking around. Yeah, where does that leave Beck? I'm the... Well, I'm the retarded stallion. He's bucking around. Yeah, where does that leave Beck? I'm the... Yes, who is the... What is the fourth iconic character that everyone is familiar with? I have fallen and died in your sarcasm.
Starting point is 00:14:38 It's 127 hours. I'm going to lose my arm in a sarcasm. Do you understand? There's a movie. Give me your hand. I'll pull you up. Wink. Wait, what do you mean? Why do you get things I don't get?
Starting point is 00:14:53 I love getting things. Because I am listening. Oh, God. Be sure to follow Seth Herzog on Twitter, everybody. I think his name is The Zog on there. Werner Hot Dog, everybody. Have you been to the movies lately, Pete? Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:15:19 What'd you see? I can't remember. Okay, moving on. I can't remember. Okay, moving on. Oh, I was going to see The Place Beyond the Pines with Daddy Gus. Let me ask you this, Beck. Did you ever say anything to the kids that would be inappropriate to show in the commercial?
Starting point is 00:15:42 Like, I know that in one of them they have you saying, that's a pain in the buns. Right. Which is an unusual thing to say to children. I don't think I've ever sworn at them or said any inappropriate words. But I've yelled at them. And I've laughed at them. I've laughed in their faces very hard. And there's just a lot of in-between takes.
Starting point is 00:15:57 A lot of, he's just playing around. That's the, the kids all get it. No, no, they don't. I scare the hell out of them. I scare the shit out of them. But they're kids. They bounce back. So as soon as you yell at them,
Starting point is 00:16:09 they'd say something and I'd be like, that's a wrong answer! You're wrong! And they'd freak out. And I'd be like, no, I'm just kidding. And they'd get really happy. Stand and deliver? Your voice is terrifying. You sound like Lucifer on helium. You're wrong! This is scary. This makes me yearn to direct these commercials.
Starting point is 00:16:26 It's really all about the director being like getting takes for himself, just getting weird, weird stuff that we would never be able to air. It's totally appropriate. Just telling that one girl
Starting point is 00:16:38 to shut up or I'm watching this or whatever you say to her, hold on, I'm watching this, it's really, it's good television. It's about as risque as we can get. These children need to learn that this is what life is,
Starting point is 00:16:51 is that it is unsatisfying, and they should enjoy their resilience while they have it now, because eventually all is despair. I couldn't agree more. I think when Werner starts talking he's just like, when I get to the word despair I'll stop.
Starting point is 00:17:14 That's my safe word. Despair is my curb feeler. Did I ask you about movies you've seen, Beck? No, you haven't. What have you seen lately? I saw Frost Nixon recently. Did I ask you about movies you've seen, Beck? No, you haven't. What have you seen lately? Anything? I saw Frost Nixon recently. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:29 I feel like if I said that, everyone would be laughing at me. Why are we giving him the benefit of the doubt? That movie is as old as Nixon. That movie is old as shit. Yeah, it's an old movie. I saw it on the airplane. I saw Rise of the Guardians.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Can we talk about that? Yeah, well, why didn't you say that? Okay. I didn't know we'd do this. Now we've moved on. I didn't see it at the cinema. You saw it of the Guardians. Can we talk about that? Yeah, well, why didn't you say that? I didn't see it at the cinema. I saw the cinema on the airplane. Sure. You consider that a cinema? It is cinema.
Starting point is 00:17:56 It's not a cinema. It's cinema. Everyone has shown to me. What do you think? I believe that Beck is correct that film and cinema have often been
Starting point is 00:18:09 synonymous terms. Pete is correct that an airplane is not a movie theater. Thank you. But I did not say movie theater. I said I saw cinema
Starting point is 00:18:17 on the airplane. I did not mean to impugn what you said or imply that you misspoke. I am merely backing up Pete insofar as his claim that a plane is not a movie theater
Starting point is 00:18:30 is correct. What have you seen recently, Werner? Does every party at your house end in group sex? That voice is so seductive. I have never experienced a party. That voice is so seductive. I have never experienced a party.
Starting point is 00:18:51 All right, let's play some games. That's a good time to go to the games portion of the show. Let the games begin. See, that's stressful for you. You have to find the out point. Oh, it wasn't stressful at all. I just knew it would be him. You knew it.
Starting point is 00:19:11 That's, that, is that, you son of a bitch. Yeah, we can laugh off mic and no one knows that we're laughing at you because we don't want them to know when we're laughing at you. That's part of your charm. When I get in front of Pro Tools,
Starting point is 00:19:22 I'm going to isolate that laugh and amplify it. You son of a bitch. Reminiscent of Gene Hackman in The Conversation. Later, Pete will be tearing up his own floorboards and playing a saxophone. I don't get so much of the show. I know, classic cinema, throwing a dude off.
Starting point is 00:19:46 But, gentlemen, pick your name tags. I'm sorry, may I ask, Pete, how many movies, lifetime, would you say you have seen? Five? No way, tons. The answer's tons. You seem to be taken by surprise
Starting point is 00:20:01 by every movie reference that is made. Tearing up the floorboards and playing the saxophone. Sir, I am the pulse of pop culture. If I don't get that, no one gets it. You saw Rise of the Guardians and didn't
Starting point is 00:20:18 remember. You should check out The Conversation. It's a classic Francis Ford Coppola, Jamie Hackman joint. I've had his wine. Go pick a name tag. Gentlemen, pick your name tags. Go get a name tag.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Bring it back to your seat. That's who you're playing for. Don't read the shithead on the back. I hear and see a lot of good things. It sounds like good name tags. you're playing for. Don't read the shithead on the back. I hear and see a lot of good things. Sounds like good name tags. No matter how much you shake those malted milk balls,
Starting point is 00:20:54 it doesn't seem to be getting anybody. What are they? What are you shaking over there? Oh, penne. Okay. He's shaking a box of penne. Hold it up. I can't believe anybody would resist that.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Let's get a few seconds of you shaking that shit. I will confess to momentarily become very excited at the prospect of malted milk balls. What do you have, Pete? Hold that up. Show me. Is someone named George?
Starting point is 00:21:25 I don't know. Is your name George? This is a George Foreman grill. I don't know if you know. It's been featured in many, many films. There's one in Cloverfield, briefly. In Air Force One, there's an early model. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:40 And I believe in the classic, one of my favorites, The Conversation. Yep. That's what he finds under the floorboard. And I believe in the classic, one of my favorites, The Conversation. That's what he finds under the floorboard. A prototype of the George Foreman grill. I honestly think my booming laugh robbed you of a huge crowd laugh. It scared them, and that
Starting point is 00:21:56 deserved more. I think we're okay. We're gonna be alright, you guys. Beck, what do you got there? Show me that doggy. I have no idea. It's a dog. From Jessica. It's from the film Up. Right. Yes, it's the Up Dog.
Starting point is 00:22:10 Now I know why I got it. But the name has been changed to Jessica. What's Up Dog? Ah! Nothing much, Doug. Noises. We love noises. They're fun.
Starting point is 00:22:23 People love... Wait, wait, wait. What's he say? Oh, he talks. Hi there. We love noises. They're fun. People love... Wait, wait, wait. What's he say? Oh, he talks. Hi there. Have you not seen the classic? In the movie, he goes, squirrel. But I don't know what he's saying.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Why? Don't put the microphone there. Why are you defibrillating him? Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh boy, oh boy. Wait, it comes out right where the sound hole is.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Find its sound hole, quickly. I want him to say Why are we doing this? I was hiding under the porch because I love you. Does TBS know what you're going to do on TV when you get the chance? We'll shoot a lot. We'll just cut the best of it. Werner, who are you playing for down there?
Starting point is 00:23:08 I'm playing for a young lady named Sarah who's made a wonderful 3D representation of a shark, much like the shark from the film Jaws. It's bursting out of a cardboard placard with blood and gristle encrusting its teeth. And what I like about it
Starting point is 00:23:32 is it demonstrates the unrelenting hatred that nature has for mankind. Oh, I'm sorry. Who were you playing for? I mean, I'm assuming. Sarah. Okay, Sarah. You're playing for Sarah. Yes, the first thing I said. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:49 It was so long ago. I needed Google Maps to find my way. These are the burgers they put on the box deck. What are you trying to say? They don't look delicious? They look like squashed old man balls. Now look.
Starting point is 00:24:07 So you're already seeking out people to sponsor your program. Pete Holmes, great with advertisers. George Foreman Grill, those look like shits on a Barbie. We'll be right back. Hit it, Doug. Let's do it. It's my favorite part of the show when Pete's telling me to move it along.
Starting point is 00:24:34 Who here, when they think the word games gets hungry? Hungry for games? Pete, you're going to go first. I am hungry for games. This is called Bane or Lincoln. I'm going to say a line that was either said by Bane in Dark Knight Rises or Lincoln in Spielberg's Lincoln.
Starting point is 00:24:58 No problem. Spielberg and Tony Kushner's Lincoln. And then you just tell me. We'll go down the line. Each of you guess which one it's from. There are no wrong answers. Only correct ones. We're going to go one at a time, right?
Starting point is 00:25:12 Yeah. You can say whatever you want, but you know, you might help the other people next to you if you say something that convinces them it's the right answer. I feel like you could do a good Vin Diesel. Yeah, probably. Offer Pete a fast five.
Starting point is 00:25:30 What does he say? What does he say? These cars... Wait, these cars are fast if they're fast. If they're faster. Are they fast enough? These cars are faster than everything I've seen.
Starting point is 00:25:47 Don't worry about it. They're fast. It sounds a little too fast. Am I too furious? You're just furious enough. I'm always furious. You could kill us all unarmed. Here it is, Pete.
Starting point is 00:26:04 The line is this. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Well, that's on the $5 bill. So you're saying Lincoln? Come on, Doug. It's Bane. Okay. Final.
Starting point is 00:26:23 If you say so. Beck? I'm going to say Lincoln. Okay. Final. If you say so. Beck? I'm going to say Lincoln. Okay. Wait a minute. Is this a trick? No, it's a game, Pete. Everyone gets to guess.
Starting point is 00:26:35 Yeah, yeah, yeah. And some people are going to be right and some are going to be wrong. You haven't been set up. It's just a game. We're all having fun. Now, this raises the question, are all games tricks
Starting point is 00:26:45 and do we have to reframe our way of viewing games I do feel tricked when I say yes to Pictionary would you like children would you like to be tricked into a land of candy? Or a van of candy? So what's your answer?
Starting point is 00:27:11 Well, I took those Monopoly beats downtown. I don't own shit. That was a trick. I tried to enjoy the ref. Lincoln. Lincoln. Hmm? Lincoln.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Well, now I think it's definitely a trick. Why? Because you won? It's Bane. Of course it's Bane. I thought it was going to be like, I found this old, old speech of Lincoln under my bed on tea-stained maps
Starting point is 00:27:39 and he said that quote as well, because it could have been either. You guys didn't see The Dark Knight? Yeah, I saw The Dark Knight. I remember that quote. I love that Pete is getting that it could have been either. You guys didn't see The Dark Knight? Yeah, I saw The Dark Knight. I remember that quote. I love that Pete is getting that it could have been either. That's why it's a game, Pete. Zero. If it was,
Starting point is 00:27:51 I'm the president and I have a big hat, it would be a more obvious. Well, I'm going to win this game every time. You've won the entire game. There's no more. There's no reason to go on.
Starting point is 00:28:03 I'll do one. The fire will rise is the first one. I think that's Gandalf. Oh, I got one. You said that as if we were all taking a turn, but you are the only one who keeps talking.
Starting point is 00:28:28 Oh, no, no, no, me, me. I'm an old, old, lanky man. Here's another long-winded story. That's Gandalf. You son of a bitch. It's called Lincoln Urbane. Or how about Lincoln Urbane? I'm going to the theater, motherfuckers.
Starting point is 00:28:53 All right, so... Let's play Leonard Maltin game. But Pete won the right to go first for being so great at Bane or Lincoln. The only one I'd like to point out that got it correct. You got all the answers right. We really need to point that out. That was unclear.
Starting point is 00:29:16 I won this game before. All right, you get to pick a category. You were untrickable. And then we'll go to Werner, and then we'll go to Beck, because it's his first time on the show, but he knows how to play. I think he's more familiar with the game than you are, Pete.
Starting point is 00:29:32 Here on your 17th visit. It's been a pleasure. Beck's here for the first time, and he's going to be better than you. Okay. Would you like? The devil wears Prada. Okay, I'll tell the story quickly In the asparagus pea category
Starting point is 00:29:53 Which is where you read the entire review Pete Holmes couldn't get Devil Wears Prada You gave me the entire cast as well The entire cast Is that what you mean? I said yeah I said Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway and you said, no idea what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Yeah. I thought it was a porno called Hathaway, You're Way With Me. Wait. Half You're Way With Me. Is that the full title with the weight in there as well? It doesn't quite work, but it'll get you where you want to go.
Starting point is 00:30:25 Michael Moore is celebrating a birthday today. Our friend Michael Moore. That we met in Traverse City. And then you did that to him right to his face. My dad. I was accosted by a young man who came up and insisted his impression of me was accurate.
Starting point is 00:30:43 Because of that impression, my father was laid off and replaced by a robot made with parts from the World Trade Center I mean come on seriously okay hit it so films of Michael Moore. Or at Mr. Underscore Tag suggested The Hurtfocker and that's movies where Ben Stiller gets injured. And at Varkentine, like Valentine, but with an R
Starting point is 00:31:17 and a K in there, suggested 7-Eleven and that's movies with 7 to 11 words in the title. So which one of those would you like to play, Pete? I want to play 7 to 11. Okay. You're already counting off on your finger,
Starting point is 00:31:35 like, trying to narrow it down. And if it's this one, I'm going to blow my own mind. Two stars from Leonard for this movie from 2003. Shit. He says about it that it's diverting for a while, but there's barely an honest moment in the film, and it doesn't have to go on quite as long as it does.
Starting point is 00:31:59 So this one put Leonard in a mood. But he still gave it two stars. And he lists about 12 names. Just give me the first three. Out of 12, how many do you think you need? Reading from the bottom up, of course. I need all 12. It's a smart opening bit.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Let's go to Werner, who's our current champion. Ongoing. I can name that movie in six names. I like your style. Oh, God. I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:32:41 So, eight. It's got to be fewer than six. It's got to be fewer than six. It's got to be fewer? Oh, I didn't realize that part of it. Or you could challenge me to name the film. I'm going to go five. Wait, can I do that? Yeah, you can.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Is that bad? No, it was a good play. Pete is surprised because he still does not understand the game. It was a good play. Pete is surprised because he still does not understand the game. Please, Beck, do not go by his reaction that you have done something incorrect. Whenever I'm lost, I'm looking at you. I'm surprised.
Starting point is 00:33:17 What a burden this show has become. Look. Wait, why are you surprised? Just get this show up the hill, Sisyphus. I'm surprised that you could have made him name the movie, which, based on that vague description, there's no way no one knows what it is, which means there's no way you know what it is, which means I'm about to get a point
Starting point is 00:33:35 by making you name the movie. Theoretically. Wait, can I change my answer? That's why I... We try not to have changed answers, but Pete makes a good point. Pete makes a great point. Can this episode
Starting point is 00:33:51 be called Pete Makes a Great Point? So you could say Werner, the episodes don't have names. You could say Werner Herzog named that movie
Starting point is 00:33:57 and, but it is the great Werner Herzog we're talking to here. I can, it's up to you. I will ask him to do so. I can... It's up to you. I will ask him to. It's your decision.
Starting point is 00:34:07 But you can ask him to name it if you think he can't get it with six names. So we're just finally... Reading from the bottom up. Pretending he didn't say it. That would be... Well, you're the one that talked him out of it. Yeah, you're the one...
Starting point is 00:34:18 I thought that it had been done. Were you just taunting him? Yeah, I was talking shit. I was talking trash. Shit talker. All right. No, no, no. I'm all for redemption.
Starting point is 00:34:28 What do you want to do? Shawshank. All right. What's happening? I'm going to ask you to name that movie. Then I will be forced to do so. Your six names are... Leland...
Starting point is 00:34:44 Leland Monteviche. Monteviche. Celia Weston. Anne Parisi. Thomas Lennon. Oh. Past and future guest Thomas Lennon. Catherine Hahn.
Starting point is 00:35:02 And Robert Klein. What are your six names for this movie Paul Paul is not any of the names oh the backstage employee I love that guy yeah he's great so she would stop running around
Starting point is 00:35:18 and confusing everybody got it Beck so it's on it's on burner you don't have to do anything no I know but what year what year
Starting point is 00:35:24 oh the year is 2003. And there's 7 to 11 words in the title. Is this film How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days? Yes, it is. Oh, my God. Good advice, Pete Holmes. Yeah, thanks, Pete. I was definitely going to guess that, too.
Starting point is 00:35:53 That was great. Congratulations. Not only does he get a point, but I don't get a point. That's what I wanted. It is what you wanted. That's what I wanted, Pete. That's your better strategy.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Throw me the scraps. I'm not going to win, is what I'm saying. I think you can win. Werner's on the board. Let's see what happens. Are we still going to play the 7-11 game? That was just one time. That was a category that we played this one time.
Starting point is 00:36:22 There will be new categories from which to choose. I still know what you did last summer. No matter what the names were, that was my guess. So again, your strategy really paid off. Either way,
Starting point is 00:36:37 you weren't going to get the point. But this time we'll start with Beck, and then we will go... Wait. Pete, sorry. Start with Pete again. Thank you. Damn it.
Starting point is 00:36:50 But we'll go to Beck after Pete. He'll be next up. And Pete gets to choose. At Broadcast Boy suggested, may the odds be forever in your flavor. And that's movies that have food in the title. The great Jonathan Winters passed away recently, so Jonathan Winters motion pictures. Or from E underscore J underscore Howard,
Starting point is 00:37:14 Beverly Hills Flop, and that's Eddie Murphy movies that got below two stars. Two stars or less from Leonard. Beverly Hills Flop. Which one of those do you like? What was the first one? Food, Win Leonard Beverly Hills Flop which one of those do you like what was the first one food winters or

Yeah. 19? 97. Uh-huh. He calls it brood. I almost said brood. I don't know why.
Starting point is 00:38:09 He calls it brood. And he also says that it's... The film offers no real nourishment. Very clever, Leonard. But will appeal to kids just the same. Are we counting flubber as a food? No, and we're also not taking pre-guesses. 1997, and Leonard lists...
Starting point is 00:38:37 Shit. 11 names. How many do you think you can get it in? I bet the other one was cloudy with a chance of me You're the most focused on another thing person Can I change the year?
Starting point is 00:39:00 You're intensely focused on everything but what's really at hand What needs to be addressed Out of 11 names You are intensely focused on everything but what's really at hand. What needs to be addressed. Out of 11 names, you know that you can start with 11 names. I know that hasn't worked out for you in the past. Yeah. You can start out with all the names.
Starting point is 00:39:17 All right. I'm going to say 11 names. Okay. You did it. Beck, who's playing for Jessica, the dog? I'm going to do nine. Names. Nine, eleven.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Werner, Werner. So many things went down. Besides the buildings? That is not what I meant. You idiot. besides the buildings that is not what I meant you idiot so many things went down oh no oh no among them buildings
Starting point is 00:39:58 Beck by the powers invested in me by Doug Loves Movies, I command you to name that film. Oh, wow. Oh, how many names does he get? Nine. Nine.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Okay, nine names. I feel confident. It's got food in the title, two stars, 97. I'm only thinking of one movie. Broad, offers no real nourishment. The kids will like it. It's McDonald's the movie. No, that's not it.
Starting point is 00:40:27 And your nine names are Robert Wool, Shaquille O'Neal, Carmen Electra, Ron Lester, Jan Schweedeman, Schweiderman, No, no, it's Schweedeman.

Starting point is 00:41:22 Take your ticket and get out. Oh, that was satisfying. That felt really good. Everybody's got a point, but Pete. That should be the title of your something. Bold words from the guy who thought Lincoln said, if you speak of the devil, he shall arise. Yeah, it sounds like something Lincoln would say.
Starting point is 00:41:46 If he was taking over Gotham, maybe. To be fair, that is just an old expression and it's not an original Bane. You guys are my least favorite. Bane did not turn to his writers and say, I need some hot new stuff for my latest speech. Work in some devil imagery that always goes over big.
Starting point is 00:42:16 It's a football crowd. I need to grab these people. Okay, Pete, you get to pick a category This time we'll go to Burner after you Would you like Would you like to play Speaking of Tom Lennon

Oh, God in heaven. We're running out of time.
Starting point is 00:43:16 Which one of those do you like? Which one of those do you remember? What were you thinking about when I told you the categories? Lincoln wearing a Bane mask. I wish to see that on the internet by tomorrow. I'm sure you will. I'm sure you will. You know, we've had our differences,
Starting point is 00:43:42 but I really enjoy you. If you were a child selling lemonade, I'd buy it. Maybe Pete could be in Grizzly Man, too. It is a consummation devoutly to be wished. Will it end the same way? That's where I was going with that. No, I all get it. Flea, Flea, movies with Flea? Movies with Flea?
Starting point is 00:44:06 Or movies with Arquette? Or movies with Tom Lennon? Yeah, none of these are good. Movies with Flea. Okay. That's the right attitude. Would you like a Flea movie? A Flea vehicle from

Starting point is 00:44:38 he calls it excruciating a sex bomb just a regular bomb that's a different guide He calls it excruciating. A sex bomb? Just a regular bomb. That's a different guide. Excruciating. And he says that the last word of the review is beware.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Wow. Yeah. And he lists a lot of names. It's about 15 names. 15 names in this movie that has flea in it. From 1991. Yeah. It was a bomb. How many do you need?

Starting point is 00:45:32 It won't be the first time I've Which one did you pick? forgotten and cost me a point. I think he picked 98. And you said 91. No, I said 91. You said 91? Then he said 98.
Starting point is 00:45:46 Why don't you say whatever you would like to say now? Well, what one did you already read? This is 98. 98, I said. No wonder Leonard wrote, Beware, this is his only haunted review. 16 names. How many?
Starting point is 00:46:09 We got another name. Yeah. That whole fracas gave me time to add. 15. I'm going to stick with 15 names. Okay. That's solid. I do have the song Sex Bomb in my head right now.
Starting point is 00:46:24 Can we go to Werner? Yeah, Werner. You said 15 names? Yeah. I will say 12 names. Okay, Beck. I'll say 10. Love that voice.

Oh, Tim Thomerson. Great. I'm glad I got 10. How could you do it without Tim Thomerson? Timmy Thomerson. The star of the Dollman franchise. From 1998.
Starting point is 00:47:55 Leonard says it's a bomb. Beware. Beware. Excruciating. Flea is in it. What's it called? Nothing but trouble. We're going to have a... Pete, you know how this works, right? What?
Starting point is 00:48:08 Beck is trying to guess. Yeah, I'm trying to guess right now. It's not Nothing But Trouble. I can read his face. Say it. Playing That Sunday Game. I gave it a shot. That's the name of a movie? I don't know. I just was hoping it was. Playing That Sunday Game? I was hoping that's the name of a movie? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:48:25 I just was hoping it was. Playing that Sunday game? I was hoping that was the name of this awful movie. I have no idea. Some people don't think it's awful. Mark Harmon was in it. Catherine Helmond. Craig Bierko. Tobey Maguire.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Benicio Del Toro. And Johnny Depp in... Traffic? Beer and Loathing in Las Vegas. Traffic? Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Traffic? I bet you there's not a single person that was in... Oh, Benet Nishio was in Traffic,
Starting point is 00:48:53 but everyone else was not in Traffic. Wasn't Johnny Depp... Oh, that was Blow. I confused those. They're both drugs. That's why I won't party with you. Because you've confused Traffic and Blow. And we end up just sitting on a highway.
Starting point is 00:49:09 That was excellent. That was an A+. We got to play one more round, right? What happened? What just happened? Did Pete get a point somehow? I got a point. It's all even.
Starting point is 00:49:19 Apologies to put your hands together. We're going to wrap this up quickly. Who's up next? Who didn't get involved in that? Who asked you to name it? You asked him to name it? I asked him to name it. Okay, so Werner gets to go first.
Starting point is 00:49:31 I hear the murmur of Werner. Okay, so Werner, then Pete, then Beck, and Werner gets to pick a category. Would you like Ski Fall? That's movies where James Bond goes skiing. Okay, so Werner, then Pete, then Beck, and Werner gets to pick a category. Would you like Ski Fall? That's movies where James Bond goes skiing. Right to Bear Small Arms. That's movies that have the Tyrannosaurus Rex in them.
Starting point is 00:50:05 Or at ah underscore lawn underscore ah, A-HH suggested Dolphin Lundgren. And that's movies with a dolphin, Dolph Lundgren, or both. Of these worthy categories, I will choose Ski Fall. Alright. Somebody's trying to win. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Now I can't find the category. Where'd it go? Where are you, Ski Fall? Oh, shit. Further apologies to Put Your Hands Together. I can't take the pressure. Would you like a movie where
Starting point is 00:50:46 James Bond is skiing from 1969 or 1977? Funniest year. 1969. Nice. He did pick the funniest one. Yeah. Of those two.
Starting point is 00:51:04 Three and a half stars from Leonard for this 1969 movie where James Bond goes skiing. He says that this one is okay.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Capital O, capital K, so I don't know why he's yelling. And he says, incredible action sequences. Interesting. I'll even read the whole sentence,
Starting point is 00:51:34 because I don't even understand it. Incredible action sequences take first chair. What does that even mean? He is comparing the elements of the film to a symphony orchestra and saying that the action sequences are so much better than other elements that they would, if they were a violin player, for example,
Starting point is 00:51:54 be seated in the first chair. English is a really wonderful language and I urge you all to investigate it. Familiarize yourself with Rosetta Stone. The expression first chair does come up right away when learning English. You got me. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:52:34 So now we all know what that means. I still don't know why he said it that way. But you get how many names, Werner? I thought you were going to tell me. What? How many names are there? Sorry, Werner. I don't believe you have informed me
Starting point is 00:52:54 how many names there are from which to choose. Oh, that's where we're at. Okay. He's Rosetta Stone. This is me trying to hurry. This is like the fast version. A lot of my best punchlines were talked over tonight And I don't like that a lot What do you mean by talked over?
Starting point is 00:53:09 Like the show kept going? I'm gonna light you on fire I swear to God Things that needed to be said There are Ten names Oh god And a ghost Ten names and a ghost are ten names. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:53:28 And a ghost. Ten names and a ghost. There's a creaky door in the back that the listeners won't have heard, but that was scary. I can name that movie in zero names and one ghost. You do realize True Lies is not a Bond movie.
Starting point is 00:53:51 I think it is established that I'm the one who knows nothing here, Pete. So, good burn. Oh, my God. That insult should definitely take second or third chair. Oh my god That insult should definitely take Second or third chair Well Mr. Herzog
Starting point is 00:54:18 Regardless of the number you selected I was going to insist that you name it Because the drama between selected, I was going to insist that you name it. Because the drama between Beck and I is over. Yeah. And between Doug and I is over. Even before it had begun. And it only remains between you and I,
Starting point is 00:54:36 the two point holders. Tell us the name of this movie, Werner. Is the name of this film... Oh, first, The Ghost. Do you want to name the ghost first You want to name the ghost first? I will name the ghost. Who is the ghost? The funky phantom. As you know, I can't say yes or no until you say the name of the film.
Starting point is 00:55:04 You are bound by the rules. I believe the film is On Her Majesty's Secret Service. That is correct. I was dying. I was so hoping I'd get the chance at some point to say to you tonight, no, Sferatu.
Starting point is 00:55:25 But I didn't get to do that. It was sad. I don't get it. A lot of the laughs have been... Could George come up here and give me a shithead to write down? Is there one on the box? No, no one on the box. Hey, George.
Starting point is 00:55:43 And Jessica, there's no shithead on the back of that dog, is there? On the back of the name tag. Okay, so tear the name tag off back and hand that over to me. We got a shithead on the back here. Oh, she really disguised it nicely. What? Okay. Okay, All right.
Starting point is 00:56:05 These are interesting shitheads. Anything to plug, Pete? Yeah. Okay, we're out of time. My special Nice Try the Devil premieres on May 12th on Comedy Central, 11 p.m. Yay! Thank you.
Starting point is 00:56:22 And podcast fans should listen to You Made It Weird. Yeah. Love stealing some of that audience, Doug. We made it weird movies. Almost famous. Oh, that's right. You and I. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Beck, one of the things I like about your AT&T commercials is that there's... That was real. That wasn't a bit. That new ones keep coming out. Are there going to be more of those? Yeah, there are going to be more. Nice. There are going to be like six or eight more.
Starting point is 00:56:45 And it was cool. Did you have fun when you did the one with all the basketball players? Yeah, it was awesome. All the classic basketball players? Crazy. They were huge.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Yeah, you must have been like, why the fuck? How did this happen? Yeah, it was very surreal. Magic Johnson was really nice. They were all really nice, but Larry Bird was very scary. He's an intimidating man.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Interesting. Yeah. He's got the glare white on white crime there yeah in one of the commercials I go to hug him
Starting point is 00:57:10 and before we did that he was like nobody's hugging me the director the director offered it and he was like he was like if you want to hug him
Starting point is 00:57:21 come over and do it yourself he was kind of joking in his basketball player way you know I guess you know He was like, if you want to hug him, come over and do it yourself. He was kind of joking in his basketball player way, you know, I guess. You know. Sure. It wasn't that intense, but it was kind of. Because you hugged him anyway. No, I didn't. I was scared to hug him.
Starting point is 00:57:35 I went to hug him, but I didn't grab him. Okay. Did you move very slowly, hoping the director would call cut before you made contact? Yes, exactly. That's exactly what happened. A game of chicken. What do you got coming up, Warner? I am working on a reboot of M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening,
Starting point is 00:57:55 but it will be done right this time. And I'm directing How I Met Your Mother. Oh, and Beck, how can people see? You've got lots of comedy on the internet people can see, right? What's the name of your group that you're in? Good Neighbor. Yeah, there you go. Check out goodneighborstuff.com or on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:58:26 Well, thank you to all you gentlemen for being here. And can you come back again next week, Werner? Let me check my schedule. Check your schedule and let me know. You can tell me after if you want. I can tell you right now. So powerful. No.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Let me see if I can rearrange something. Yeah, move some things around. I'll move some things around. Wait, the winner gets invited back? Yeah. When I won, you didn't invite me back. See how life is? You're right, Warner. Nature is hatred.
Starting point is 00:59:00 This is like an outtake from one of Beck's commercials. Yeah, you're learning stuff. It's good. It's something I just started doing recently, and you're of course eligible tonight, but you didn't win, so we'll see you again in like six or seven months. I'll see you in two weeks when TJ bails.
Starting point is 00:59:21 Yeah, when somebody cancels, that's a different thing. You're going to get the call, of course. You're one of my best people. It ended sweet. Thanks to everybody, and especially to put your hands together, because we went extra long tonight. And as always, soap actor Steve Burton
Starting point is 00:59:39 is a shithead. Parentheses, who quit General Hospital for rival soap, the young and the restless. So I can understand, Jessica, why... why you would... that would be...
Starting point is 00:59:57 And... hope and change is a shithead. Huh. Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie. Eyes of gold, his viewing prowess makes him foggy. The range is a shithead.
