Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, and he sees with 50 ads and not more kernels in his teeth. There's still not more that he won't see, because Doug loves movies! Hey everybody! Here, let me just turn down the Pearl Jam radio. No! Gotta turn it down, we're podcasting.
Starting point is 00:00:24 My name is Doug and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies. Coming to you from a rental car. What kind of car is this, Graham? Doug, we're driving in a Chevy Cruze. Blue. It's a Chevy's little sporty
Starting point is 00:00:39 four-door. Good gas mileage and a nice trunk. Very nice trunk. And satellite radio. So I've been forced to listen to days on end of Pearl Jam Radio on Sirius XM. I'm forcing you for your own good. It's Sunday, May 26th, 2 Oceans 13. As we are driving from Knoxville to Hashville on... I already set the date.
Starting point is 00:01:08 My guest and driver of the rental car is Graham Elwood. Hello. Go ahead and do your plugs now. Plug it out. How about... Time's up. What? That seems way too quick. Chris Mancini and myself will be at the Limestone Comedy Festival in Bloomington,

We haven't released the title of the movie yet, but people have voted. They bought badges, and I think they'll be delighted with the selection. voted that bought badges and they'll uh i think they'll be delighted with the selection and uh dining with doug and karen on sunday like kind of a lunch brunch kind of thing
Starting point is 00:01:51 at the comedy attic and i was like the little kid being sick by the side of the road that was gnarly um where his parents or his car went he's just walking around vomiting along the freeway we're on vomit highway to nashville oh the way station's just walking around vomiting along the freeway. We're on Vomit Highway to Nashville. Oh, the weigh station's coming up. They probably wanted the kid to dump some waste. Yeah, they wanted him to meet his fight class. They wanted to get him down to...
Starting point is 00:02:16 Oh, and I'm going to also be doing stand-up with Pete Holmes at the Busker Chumlee two-show Saturday night. You can see Graham and Chris Mancini doing stand-up all over the place. I'm going to be a guest on Jackie Cation's Dork Forest. Pete Holmes is going to be the Comedy Film Nerd guest. It's going to be fun to have by all. And then June 9th, Chris Mancini and myself will be doing stand-up comedy routines in Louisville.
Starting point is 00:02:43 That's all at my website, GrahamElla.com. What's the name of the venue there in Louisville. That's all at my website, GrahamElwood.com. What's the name of the venue there in Louisville? The Bard. Like B-A-R-D, like Shakespeare. Oh, okay. Because that's where he got his start, right? Yeah, he started in Louisville. Yep, that's right.
Starting point is 00:02:58 That's exactly right. And then... It was originally called Much Ado About the Lou. Ah, that's it, ladies and gentlemen. Yesterday was a fun-filled day for us here in Tennessee. Tennessee. Horseshoes. A game of horseshoes.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Oh, don't forget LA Podcast Festival, October 4th through 6th. Go to lapodfest.com. How could we forget? You will not let us. Pepper. We went to Dollywood. Oh my God, Dollywood was so great.. We went to Dollywood. Oh, my God. Dollywood was so great.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Hooray for Dollywood. What a strange, delightful place. It is ridiculously fun. First, you have to drive in there. It's located in Pigeon Forge, which is about 30 minutes east of Nashville. I mean, Knoxville. But then, once you get off the highway, then you have to go through this gauntlet,
Starting point is 00:03:52 this tourist trap gauntlet of utter amazing bullshit. It's 15 miles of driving past just... It's just all... As seen on TV stores and every... Zip lines and indoor skydiving and hot putt golf and little NASCAR track and some sort of building
Starting point is 00:04:16 that's upside down and a Titanic that's crashed into an iceberg and tons of ads for the Hatfield- and McCoy dinner show. Jesus. Get off my land! Hey, scandal bag!
Starting point is 00:04:29 God damn it, I'm trying to eat. You want more napkins? Oh, thank you for giving me some napkins while you're in the middle of this feud. Let me top off your iced tea. Now get off my lawn! So, that's crazy And then also the billboards For a place called
Starting point is 00:04:50 Comedy Barn Which I'm shocked we've never played How did we not get the gig But one of the billboards said That they had a mind reading pig At the comedy barn Sounds great And another one said they had a talking dog,
Starting point is 00:05:07 and we started riffing about how Pigeon Forge, the mayor, is that pig. And he always knew he was going to be mayor, because he could read everybody's minds. And then the dog is the... Housted police chief. Yeah. And, you know, he's sad that he's not the police chief anymore because he really enjoyed taking a bite out of crime.
Starting point is 00:05:29 Ah! And of course, along that way, plenty of fireworks and porn. Oh, my goodness. What was... One of them was called Sexy Stuff, S-T-U-F. Couldn't afford the second half. And he needed it for the fireworks sign. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:05:49 And then we saw a Christian, several Christian places, but one of them, Christian Warehouse, had this big banner that said, Going Out of Business. Yeah. And I said, The Lord Take It Away should be on that banner also. And that was across the street from Sexy Stuff. Yeah. So you could get Jesus and porn all together. So, so crazy.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Then we get to Dollywood. And what Graham and I like to do is we like to go to amusement parks. We get there early, run to the best rides, and then ride them a bunch of times. And then when the lines start to build up and the place starts to get crowded, we get there early, run to the best rides, and then ride them a bunch of times, and then when the lines start to build up and the place starts to get crowded, we go home. Yeah. We say, fuck it, and we get the hell out of there. Especially that day, because we had a 420 show.
Starting point is 00:06:36 Yeah, but we always, it's our MO, and so we're running to try to get to a roller coaster. And we see this building that has a sign outside that implies that inside is an indoor roller coaster. Right. So that sounds fun. It's called, the ride is called Flaming Rage. Turns out it's just angry homosexuals picketing Dollywood. For gay marriage. No, it's called Blazing Fury. And I guess it was the first ride ever made. Oh, God. Because it was a former water ride. At Aaron the Beastly on Twitter tipped me off to that. But even though it was a former water ride, it's always a weird ride uh because
Starting point is 00:07:26 what is being depicted like like it's kind of like pirates of the caribbean but with hillbillies like the town is on fire there's a hillbilly town fire i think and the hillbillies are all just kind of like none of this none of the figures move they're just dummies with, like, it looks like a fake beard has been put on these things. Like, the mannequins are so embarrassed to be a part of the attraction that they're pretending, you know what I mean? It just looks like whenever somebody in a movie, you know, it's even got the things around the ears. Like mannequin protection programs. Yes. They're hiding from, what's his name?
Starting point is 00:08:07 They're hiding from, why can't I think of his fucking name? Andrew McCarthy. They're hiding from Andrew McCarthy and Jonathan Silverman. Because they're tired of those guys taking them to the beach and pretending that they're not dead. A weekend at Bernie's Riff. Yeah. So good. So that ride was just weird
Starting point is 00:08:28 But little kids love it And people are nostalgic for it That have been going there for years As I would be I go on some of the dumber, older rides at Disneyland Just to reminisce about how they used to seem cool to me And it has a couple of weird drops in it But like
Starting point is 00:08:44 Looking back on it It makes perfect sense That it used to be cool to me. And it has a couple of weird drops in it, but like, looking back on it, it makes perfect sense that it used to be like waterfall drops. Again, the whole thing is just kind of like, it's almost like they said, let's do Pirates of the Caribbean, but let's spend, uh, Less money.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Way less money. Let's, uh, let's try to buy the entire thing using coupons. Then we went on Tennessee Tornado, and it changed our world. Our dolly world changed with that, because that is a fucking sweet. Lots of loops. Oh, crazy. 70 miles per hour.
Starting point is 00:09:18 Super fast. Yeah, you go drop it into the ground at one point. That's a lot of fun. Yeah, really, really cool ride. And then we went on the winner of the 2012 Best New Ride, according to somebody. Golden Ticket. Yeah, okay, whatever that is. The Flying Eagle. That ride's amazing. That ride's amazing. So cool. It's a dangler, your feet dangle. There's like two people on each side of like an eagle's head. And then, you know, a whole bunch of them. Really smooth ride.
Starting point is 00:09:50 And just really, like, you really feel like you're just flying and, you know, and doing what an eagle would do. Which is like, you know, like how when they're having sex, they plummet. And then they separate before they hit the ground. Yeah, that's how they do it. That's what I was told in school. I'm sure I'll have to do a corrections department thing about that. Someone's going to email you. Actually, an email.
Starting point is 00:10:17 What they really do is... But then the lines got too long after that so we didn't go on Mystery Mine which a lot of people had recommended, we didn't go on their wooden rollercoaster which as much as I love rollercoasters, wooden rollercoasters are falling out of favor with me because they beat
Starting point is 00:10:34 the shit out of you it's like hey you want to get punched for a few minutes in your sides, in your head and like people have been hospitalized because of those the the flying eagle the seats are so comfortable it's amazing like it's almost relaxing yeah like the bar doesn't come down like the way he's got that weird thing that comes down on your chest that's all soft and like you don't feel crushed in like i always feel when they pull lap bars down on me that I feel like a little crushed in, you know?
Starting point is 00:11:05 Yeah. And this was just a tremendous... You're in the dolly singing song. Wonderful ride, yeah. And then as you're waiting in line, Dolly Parton's like, Flying eagle, soaring through the sky, flying eagle, hope you don't die. Yeah, that's... Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:11:22 That's pretty awesome. I was just bummed because... Every ride when you're waiting in line at theme parks should have a theme song. Sure. Sung by a different famous person. But this is her park. I really wanted the rides to be like, you know, the 9 to 5 ride. You wanted a 9 to 5 ride.
Starting point is 00:11:38 You wanted a straight talk ride. Yeah. You wanted to visit a whorehouse. Yes. you wanted to visit a whorehouse. Yes. I wanted, you know, you're like,
Starting point is 00:11:46 as, you know, you're coming down some big dip or into a loop and it's like, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. Like, that's what I want. That's what they should
Starting point is 00:11:55 just call Mystery Mine, Jolene. Yeah. And just play that the whole time. Dabney Coleman comes out on the 9 to 5 ride and Lily Tomlin poisons it.
Starting point is 00:12:04 And in case you haven't figured it out, it's a really long drive today, so this is going to be a long episode. Yeah, we're going to just talk your ear off. Then we did a super fun 420 show at Sidesplitters in Knoxville. That was fun. And we played the Leonard Maltin game at the end, but I messed up and hit the wrong button on my phone and didn't record the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:12:28 So I'd like to play for you now part of what happened yesterday. And we will listen to it also along with you. And then we'll be back to tell you more about what happened and what I missed. What do you guys say we play a little Leonard Moulton game? We'll be back to tell you more about what happened and what I missed. What do you guys say we play a little Leonard Maltin game? Let's play Leonard Maltin, Knoxville. Are you making a vine, Graham? Yeah, I just took some photos.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Oh, God, he's always vining and photographing. Vining. Vining, vining. It's fun to show people our exploits like we do in the greatest movie ever rolled. You can get it at chill.com backslash 420 for the amazing price of $74.95. That's expensive. It's almost $75, but we said let's make it $74.95. It won't seem so bad.
Starting point is 00:13:18 Some of them think you're serious. I think most of them do. Did you guys see the movie? Yeah. Yeah, three people went and got it for the original price and the rest of you,
Starting point is 00:13:32 and actually, $74.95. You're going to love it. Am I bad at selling my own shit? You're not good at marketing. You're not good at marketing, Doug. I'm terrible at marketing. I always get the cart with the wheel that's all funky and wobbling all over the place. So it's very hard to negotiate the sharp turns from frozen to cheese that's slightly frozen.
Starting point is 00:13:59 What is happening? Right? Because in the freezer, the this section not as cool? Is this cheese? What are you talking about? What are you talking about? I don't know, but there's been a minute and 30 seconds of it, and the listeners of the podcast are going to eat it up.
Starting point is 00:14:21 They're going to be, keep talking, I have a boring guest job, and no matter how much bullshit spews out of your mouth, it's more interesting than the light radio station that they have on here in the office. I hit a chord. I hit a chord. It's fucking true. Just anything in my ears instead of life.
Starting point is 00:14:47 Anything. Get this dumb office noise out of my ears. Get this dumb commute out of my ears. People on the train on their phones. I told you. We didn't even pick a contestant yet. Yeah, we were just babbling on. Brilliant. We didn't even pick a contestant yet. Yeah, we were just babbling on. Really.
Starting point is 00:15:06 So, do you remember any of the name tags? Yeah, there was some really good name tags. That way you name checked? One guy had a name tag where he put my head on the new Superman's body, and it said Graham of Steel. That one was amazing. That was amazing. It was really good Photoshop.
Starting point is 00:15:29 He just found the perfect picture of my head and just put it right on top. Yeah, so much of what, when people do that sort of thing, they just grab a picture of your head and stick it on a body and it's like, sometimes it looks cool and sometimes it looks ridiculous. And with this one, it looked like it was just really, you're really in the poster. Yeah. And you took a picture of it? Yes, I did. Did you tweet it? I have not tweeted it, but I will. Okay, but tweet it so people go into Graham's feed and find that picture because it's amazing. And then I took a picture of the, you know, some people had some gluten-free cookies, which were delightful.
Starting point is 00:16:00 I have them in my bag. And then one guy had a Millennium Falcon, which was great. And then the guy that we picked had a giant poster of my head. And it was, what was the movie? It was like, oh, man, Graham of the Prones or something. No, no, it wasn't. Oh, no, I'm an idiot. I don't remember either. I remember the guy's name was Andrew St. Charles.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Yeah, but he just had a giant photo of me on a... Yeah, and references to you, and then at the bottom it said, written and directed by Andrew St. Charles. Right. And it was really well done. Yes. And very large. And he was sitting right up front. Right, right. And it was really well done And very large And he was sitting right up front His name on Twitter is
Starting point is 00:16:46 Saint underscore sleep And He also is wearing his shirt That said Cool Beans on it Because that's a bar that he owns In Knoxville So go to Cool Beans And say hi to Andrew St. Charles
Starting point is 00:17:02 Who I think sometimes I call Charles St. Andrews. Well, you got one. Then you called me Graham St. Elwood or something. And I started doing that like that was my morning radio name. Oh, boy. I was like, Graham St. Elwood of the Bardings. It was really fun. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:20 It was fun. It was a, oh, that wasn't, that pothole wasn't fun. But it was a fun round of Leonard Maltin. And the categories, let me dial it up and see if I can successfully do it without stopping this recording. The categories were all, I had picked three different birthday people. Sir Ian McKellen, Sir Mike Myers, and Sir Anne Heche all celebrated a birthday yesterday. And Andrew St. Charles picked Mike Myers. And then I said from 19...
Starting point is 00:17:57 What year was it? 1998. 1998. Two stars. A dreary drama. And I also said that various celebrities appear as themselves. And that it features a canny performance. Did I say that?
Starting point is 00:18:19 Yeah. And then Leonard listed 13 names. Andrew St. Charles opened with a very smart, I always encourage this in every player, be they a comedian or an actor or a guest from the audience, just say all the names if you're not sure yet. Put it on the other person to make a move. So he did, and then you went 11 maybe? I think 10.
Starting point is 00:18:49 10. And then he went 9 or 8? 8 maybe? Yeah, I think he went like... Or did he make a jump? Did he go 5 or something? I think he went 7, and then I came back, I think it was 6, and then he said five, I think, and then I said name him. Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:07 And then I said, uh... Are we sure? Did I give names? I don't remember reading these names. No, you... No! No! He said zero!
Starting point is 00:19:17 Yeah, then he just went... Because you said we were out of time, so he had won anyway. You're like, you get the prize money. You get to win anyway, and he said, okay, I'll say zero. So I just say zero names. So he didn't say any names and then he made a squinchy face
Starting point is 00:19:31 like he wasn't sure and he said, 56? Studio 56. Oh, that was so great because he, and he's been kicking himself ever since.
Starting point is 00:19:44 He even wrote to me on Twitter that he blames it on Billy Crystal and Barry Pepper. Didn't they do a movie called 56? No, it's 60. Oh, 60. So how's that their fault? Yeah. That was a made-for-HBL movie about the Babe Ruth home run chase. Yeah. So, any who's ill. 61, I think it was.
Starting point is 00:20:07 Yeah, it wasn't 60. 62? No, it was 61, I think. 58? No, it wasn't in the 50s. 57. No, that was the Heinz movie. You're an asshole.
Starting point is 00:20:19 Yeah, I remember I didn't read these names, because the first name out of the gate is Ron Jeremy, and then Daniel Lapine, Michael York, Lauren Hutton, blah, blah, blah. But the movie, yeah, it's called 54. And Leonard is right, it is a dreary drama. It's a double D. Stay away from the double D. And, oh, and he got the prizes anyway anyway because we ran out of time. And the prize bag included not only Graham's Palm Strike Dance Party and a t-shirt from the nice folks at High Times Magazine, but also, I was so proud of this that I found it while we were there,
Starting point is 00:20:58 a hacky sack with Dollywood written on it. Yeah, you bought the Dollywood hacky sack, and then I was wearing a Dollywood tie-dye shirt. That is the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen. So, does that mean the people at Dollywood are hip to the fact that, you know, people are stoners and they'll be attracted to those items, or is it more of a nod to just hippies like tie-dye and hacky sacks and certainly a lot of people with long hair. They work at Dollywood. Like, I've never been to an amusement park where there are so many beards on the people that are strapping you into the ride. Not beards
Starting point is 00:21:36 like my stupid beard, like a long-ass, easy-top beard on the guy putting you in the seat. That guy was Tennessee Thunder, or Tornado, Tennessee Tornado, and he had a Civil War hat on. But I thought it would be fun here in the car to just play like a one-man version of a Leonard Moulton game where the people listening can sort of play against you with the two birthday categories because their birthdays are no more. But since I bothered to load them up, it might be fun to see how you do, or how you might have done, against audience members.
Starting point is 00:22:10 This one, the Ian McKellen category, is from 2007, three stars. Leonard says it's based on a book, and he also says that the movie does a good job of introducing us to an unfamiliar world and uh he also says it won the oscar for visual effects gee and he lists 17 names how many names would you have said you could get in
Starting point is 00:22:45 not with the bidding back and forth at what point how low would you take it and still feel confident that you could get the correct answer it's just a question of which one is it I'm just trying to think. This is really fun listening. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Listening to you think. Just pick a number and I'll read those names and then you can guess what the movie is. Seven. Okay. Kristen Scott Thomas, Kathy Bates, Freddie Highmore, Ian McShane, Ian McKellen, Magda Shubensky, and Jim Carter? What movie is it now? Guy who thought he had it dialed in. Wow. Visual effects. Ian McKellen. You're never going to get it. In a million years.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Kathy Bates? But that's how much time I'm going to give you. A million years. Wow, that is messed up. Apt pupil. No, I'm just kidding. I'll give you one more clue. Okay.
Starting point is 00:24:04 A lot of times Leonard will list the actors that appear on screen first, and then at the bottom, several of those names are listed as voices that were involved in the movie. So some of those people at the bottom of the seven names were voices in this film from 2007 that won the Oscar for visual effects. And I'm telling you, I'm not judging you, Graham, because given all that information, I probably also
Starting point is 00:24:30 wouldn't get this right. The only thing I can think of is it's the Lord of the Rings, the second one, Two Towers. No. Kathy Bates has never had anything. No one that speaks with her.
Starting point is 00:24:41 I don't know. I guess it would have to be... Unless it's got to be Harry Potter. She's not in that either. What the fuck? What visual effects in 2007? Dude, you're going to be like... It's like...
Starting point is 00:24:54 I mean, that's the thing about the Oscars in general. It's a lot of those kinds of categories. It's easy to forget. Right. But even at the time, I was like, what? The effects... I guess the effects are good in it, but I would imagine there was something else that was a more compelling movie that had great effects that same year. The movie is called The Golden Compass.
Starting point is 00:25:15 Oh, Jesus Christ. Yeah, it's the first book in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy called Northern Lights. Why didn't they call the movie Northern Lights? Like, what kind of dumb move is that? Never saw it, and had no, and just went ha during the Oscars, and then on to the next category. Yeah. Let's go on to the next category. Let's do it. and the result is both funny and disarming. And then he gives it three stars. That's about right.
Starting point is 00:26:12 I might go a little higher. And he lists eleven names. 2011. With Anne Heche. I guess I'll go six names. 2011 with Anne Heche. I guess I'll go six names. Okay, here's your six names.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Michael Malley, of course from Yesteryear. Rob Corddry, Children's Hospital. Thomas Lennon, Reno 911 Alias Shawcat
Starting point is 00:26:47 Arrested Development With a shit ton of new episodes 15 is it? Available as we speak I'm not going to say where though Kurtwood Smith From Robocop And Stephen Root
Starting point is 00:27:03 From Office Space. And News Radio. Joe Hogan. 2011. Powerful. Three stars. Stephen Root. Those are all awesome people.
Starting point is 00:27:21 I know. It's a fucking great cast. What movie were they all in together that had all these life lessons in it? Holy shit, Michael Malley was great on the last season of Justified. Have you caught up on Justified? No. Patton Oswalt's in it a ton. Oh, wow.
Starting point is 00:27:35 And Michael Malley, and they're both great. Jesus. I can hear the listeners screaming. Well, that's how you take people down when we play against the audiences. You often make them name it. And I think that's what would have happened here. Any guesses? Can you even think of an Anne Heche movie?
Starting point is 00:28:02 Wow, I'm trying to remember the last thing she was in. She's done a lot of TV of late. Yeah, she's been on TV a lot. She was in a show about the guy who walks to the river and takes off his pants and jumps in. Some people call it Hung. I call it the show about the guy who walks down the river and takes off his pants and jumps in. That's so much easier. Because it bothered me having to see that every time.
Starting point is 00:28:23 I didn't watch every episode of that show But when I'd watch it I'd be like Why is this the opening credits? Um 2000 God damn it It's just one of those films that still Chips in the cracks for me, I don't know
Starting point is 00:28:42 Cedar Rapids Fuck me With Ed Helms, John Cedar Rapids. Fuck me. With Ed Helms, John C. Reilly, and Ed Hayes. Saw that movie. That's right. And Isaiah Whitlock Jr. John C. Reilly should have been nominated for an Oscar for that movie. He is so good in it. That movie's awesome. Fuck. That's right. She was great in that. Yeah, she looked great in that. There's a scene where she gets in the swimming pool in her underwear, and during the whole scene, John C. Reilly's got a trash can on his head. It's pretty funny. And like, her and Vera Farmiga both played those like traveling businesswomen so well. Vera Farmiga did it in Up in the Air. But she was also
Starting point is 00:29:22 great in Up as the traveling businesswoman who hitched a ride in the house with all the balloons. Yes. Yeah, so, uh... Cedar Rapids, I saw that. God damn it. Doug Diggs at Cedar Rapids. Check it out. Good job, Graham.
Starting point is 00:29:38 You can't even win when you're the only player. I mean, playoff. Excuse me. And then... boy, what a day yesterday. After a delightful meet and greet with very nice folks in Knoxville, then we went and watched UFC, UFC, UFC. And we were exhausted and were like questioning whether or not we were going to be able to stay up until midnight or so to watch the... And boy, are we glad we did. Those were some... Well, the undercards that were just on FX that started at 8 o'clock Eastern time.
Starting point is 00:30:16 So there was 8 to 10 is undercard fights, and they all went the distance. Yeah, so they're all just long fights. Long fights. Some entertaining, some not as much. Some not as much as much so then but just exhausting in general the pay-per-view starts at 10 so now we've been up all day we went to Dollywood we did a show it's 10 o'clock and we're like I don't know and then it was just like one first round knockout it was just amazing fights, yeah, everybody just went after it.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Because even those first round knockouts, in some cases, the guy who got knocked out looked like he was going to win seconds before. Oh, it was nuts. And there was some great fights. I mean, like, the, um, Gray Maynard is so amazing. And then the guy, I forget the name of the guy he lost to, but that guy is now going to, Dana White, I was reading online.
