Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies, sticky scenes with 50 acid pop-up kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see, cause Doug loves movies!
Hey, hey, hey everybody! My name is Doug and I love movies.
This is Doug Loves Movies.
Coming to you once again from the Improv in Washington, D.C.
It's Wednesday, May 17th. This episode won't come out until Monday, but so it'll be a little like you're in a time machine
back a few days to May 17th, 2023.
And as you can see...
That's not the right line for what I'm about to say.
I skipped ahead.
I need to go back.
It's time for everybody's favorite part of the show,
and that's Doug Plugs.
Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs! Doug Plugs!
I told you people love it.
Doug Loves Movies is back at Dynasty Typewriter in L.A.
on Sunday, June 4th at 4.20,
and Doug Loves Movies returns
to Seattle on Sunday, July
9th at 420 at
Ever After at the
famous rock and roll club, The Croc.
For all of my
dates and details, go to
DougLovesMovies.com
That's DougLovesMovies.com
Yeah!
Caw!
Wall-e!
Shh!
Dead dancing?
I think that was right.
Yeah, good job, everybody.
Oh, shit. I'm telling you, the weed in D.C. is good.
I'm ready to have a fun time.
As you can see, there are three guest chairs up here,
but guess what?
Yeah, I only booked two guests for the show tonight,
and that means that the third seat is going to be filled
by an audience
member
who is willing
and not drunk
laughter
laughter
and one of the people I'd like to bring up here
is a
I guess he's sort of
a Doug Loves Movies
I don't know if you call him legacy because his son has been on the program a few times, but basically at a show in San Diego a while back, a young man charmed us all. And he not only won when he came up out of the audience to compete to become the third guest, then he won the whole game.
And he's been on the show since in person and via Zoom.
I think he's been on like three times.
And he hits me up and says, hey, my dad's in D.C.
He's coming to the show.
Would you mind, you know, giving him a shout out?
And I was like, oh, that's sweet.
I'd love to do that.
But you know what?
Let's go one further and bring him up on stage and make the father of that amazing trivia
player, the one he got that from, bring him up to the stage.
So where are you, Marty?
Marty?
It's Marty Sanborn, everybody.
Here, sit in the seat closest to me, Marty.
Look at you.
Yeah, what's this name tag thing you have on here?
Talk into your microphone.
It is Martin instead of Martian, the movie.
That's pretty clever. but you go by marty
yeah and what's on the shirt marty marty whatever you do don't go to 2020
oh don't go to 2020 i would you know that joke should have landed better but uh
i could see the shirt i kind of you know i could see what's going on there it's a delorean
and yeah it's just a warning to marty mly to not go to 2020, which makes sense.
But, you know, he could probably just fuel up and leave again once he saw what a mess 2020 was.
But so you live here in D.C. and you listen to the show.
Do you listen to the show because your son was on it or were you already aware of it?
I was aware of you, but not the show.
Okay.
And then he called you up one day and was like, guess what?
I was on Doug Benson's podcast.
He pulled me out of the audience.
Like, he told you all about it.
And then did you say one day I'll show everybody, and I'm going to go on there and do even better?
No.
Yeah.
How do you think you'll fare compared to your your son david and then i have
a follow-up question uh he's much funnier than me we're not here for laughs marty your shirt has
already proven that we are here he bought me the shirt he bought it for you he set you up
hey dad wear this shirt it'll kill um but But that was my follow-up question, though.
When you named your child David,
were you aware of the musician named David Sanborn?
Growing up, people would ask me,
am I related to David Sanborn?
I always had to say no, but now I say yes.
Oh, my God, what a fucked-up reason.
That's too sorry.
Also, you would do very well in a
Martin Leonard Maltin
contest
not Roger Ebert
Martin
you're Marty Martin
no Roger Ebert
you mean like dead Roger Ebert
either one
but thank you for
participating in this.
You have to earn your seat in the show
today by competing against
two audience members.
So raise your
sign up if you would like to
be a contestant on
stage tonight. Just raise up your sign
because some people are shy.
They don't want to mess with it.
Your sign is,
I Heart Huckabees?
Yeah.
And it's got like all the people,
a lot of people that have been on the show or people you speculate might be on the show tonight.
Yes.
Very clever.
And it's I Heart Huckabees.
What'd you change?
I Heart Huckabobbies.
I Heart Huckabobbies.
Some of these are so brutal.
It's funny.
This one is everything everywhere eric all at once
but just the other day in denver some guy was just like every eric every eric everywhere eric eric
like he just threw in too many erics and it didn't make any any fucking sense at all but yours is also
lighting up that's amazing and then we got a... Are you holding up your Back to the Future sign?
Yeah, what's that say on it?
Zach to the Future.
See, now, everybody, it's that simple.
Where's Derek
that I saw on the internet?
Yeah, there he is over there.
He took the movie Air,
the Ben Affleck movie,
and he put a D in front of it with a post-it
note, and then another one with an E-K at the end for Derek. And when he showed me that
on Twitter, I retweeted it immediately because that is some amazing work that you've done
over there. All right, is that everybody that wants to be considered? No ladies?
I always want ladies to play,
but, you know, if you don't want to.
Yeah, over there,
that's a Back to the Future thing too, right?
Oh, Buckaroo Bonsai, all right.
Rebecca Brew Bonsai.
I love that.
All right, you don't have to bring the sign up,
but come on up here.
Yeah.
I think so.
And then,
Zach to the future,
come on up,
because that's a funny coincidence.
Hey, friendly handshake before some intense competition.
So you're Rebecca.
Hi, Rebecca.
You can use your microphone voice.
Hello.
Thank you.
And Zach is over there.
We'll get to know whoever wins a little better.
We don't need to get to know you too well at this point.
You know, I don't want anybody to be sad
because two of you do have to be eliminated at this time
and to do it we're going to play a round
of last person standing
now it's not super last person standing
it's just going to be one actor
or actress's name and
you can start it off here
Marty and then we'll go to
Rebecca and then to Zach,
and then just around until,
if you can't think of one, you're out,
you don't have a lifeline or anything.
It's just whoever lasts the longest.
And it's the films of Meryl Streep.
There's a lot of them.
So we also have to go quickly
and see who burns out first.
Marty?
River Wild.
Very good.
The Devil Wears Prada?
Uh-huh.
Into the Woods?
Mm-hmm.
Uh-oh.
Marty's already in trouble.
The party's about to end for Marty.
You got another Meryl Streep in you.
I'm sure I do.
Yeah.
Just think about that actress
that looks different every time.
She's a real chameleon.
Maybe that's why...
Queen Elizabeth?
A movie called Queen Elizabeth?
Yeah.
No.
No.
I mean, she has played...
I'm not going to say it because I don't
want to spoil it for the rest.
Well,
I don't know. Should we get, I mean,
no.
It's called The Iron Lady,
right? Where she played the queen.
It's Margaret Thatcher.
That's Thatcher? Yeah, so you're way wrong.
You're as wrong as can be.
But thank you for coming up,
Marty. It was so nice to meet you.
Tell David that you won.
Because he's not going to hear it
until Monday. So just tell him
you got up here and you won the whole thing.
And everybody loves you.
Rebecca?
August Osage County.
Julian Julia?
Oh, man, this is going to be intense.
You know your streeps.
You're on a winning streep.
Mamma Mia?
Yeah, Papa Pia.
Mamma Mia 2?
Here we go again.
Come on, Rebecca.
You got this.
I know, it's tough.
It's tough, yeah.
It's tough.
There's lots to choose from, but it's hard.
The pressure.
She was in it.
Yeah, what was that one where she was like,
eh?
The one that she was in with
Alec Baldwin.
Yeah, nobody help everybody. Don't help.
Because a lot of people know
what movie you're talking about.
Yeah.
It's tough. It's tough.
It's confusing.
It's complicated.
But thank you for playing, Rebecca.
You got one more to show off, Zach?
I think,
I'm trying to think of the one she was thinking of.
I just said it.
Oh, the one where she was in the band?
Oh, no, no, Alec Baldwin wasn't in that.
Right, it's complicated, the one with Alec Baldwin.
Yeah, that's what she was talking about.
Oh.
She didn't, Baldwin does sound like band, though. Yeah, I was out.
I didn't have any more after that.
Yeah, the band was Ricky and the Flash.
Yes. Yeah, yeah.
Which, what a horrible name for a band.
Okay, so congratulations
Zach. What's your last name, Zach?
Trump.
Not Trump.
Yeah, what is it? Trump.
Okay, I gotta really make sure
I pronounce this right.
Please do. Is it T-R-U-P-P?
That is correct
I like to guess how things are spelled
Alright
Zach, Trump
Let's get your co-competitors
Out here
Please everybody
We got a regular on the show and a newbie
Please treat them both with the same amount of respect
and give it up for Rob Mayer and Eric Woodworth.
What's up, everybody?
Hey.
Let's meet everybody individually,
alphabetically by first name.
Yeah.
It's his first time on the show.
Comedian.
He's got a podcast himself called Quality Time.
Give it up, everybody, for Eric Woodworth.
Hello.
Woo!
Yeah.
It's about movies. You guys would like it, too.
I don't like to brag.
I have tens of listeners.
And did anybody else
get nervous when this dude was like,
oh, hold on, let me guess the movie
she was thinking of.
Is this guy a ringer?
Is this a plant you put in here?
I don't know.
We'll find out.
We'll find out.
We'll see.
Doug and I go way back.
I can see that.
Glad that you dressed up for the night, so that's good.
You do look like someone that would look through his trash, for sure.
I'm 100% sure of that.
I didn't know you wore your dress jorts tonight.
That's good.
He's going to totally kill us.
You know that.
We have no chance against him. This is my only chance, Bob!
Get him off his game.
Make him cry.
You can't think of movies when you're crying.
Everybody knows that.
Sometimes you have to throw them out of their game
so I can succeed.
Also joining us today,
he's a regular on this show, I think it's fair to say.
Yeah, I think that's fair.
Also a comedian.
Also got podcasts and whatnot.
It's Rob Mayer, everybody!
Hello!
Good evening, DC Improv.
Frequent collaborator with our friend Dave Koechner,
who was how I first met you when you were working with him in Florida
and you both came on Doug Lo's movies together.
Yeah.
And so now you're just out there doing...
He does these shows where he plays Packer from The Office.
Yeah, we have The Office trivia show with the real Todd Packer, David Koechner.
And is he that horrible of an individual
as the Packer from the TV show?
He's actually worse.
No, he's a super nice guy,
and he points that out constantly.
It's like, we get it.
Relax, you're not a racist.
Okay.
No, he's a super nice guy.
He's not like Todd Packer or Jam Con anyway. But no, it's a super nice guy He's not like Todd Packer or Jam Con
Anyway, but
No, it's a great show
I would plug it, but we're not doing it here
So anyway, there's a website
You can figure out where it's at
Coming up in the fall
Never mind, come to this club only
Alright
There's people listening all over the place
That's true
You know, if you go to followrob.com
Or davidkechner.com
Hey, we'll be in Hawaii on
Saturday if you guys want to come out.
Yeah, I don't want to brag. Well, they won't hear
this though. They won't
hear it in time for that plug. Well, we'll be in
Fort Wayne, Indiana. How about that?
That's better.
The Hawaii of the Midwest.
We were just there actually.
No, we'll be, we got Philadelphia coming up, Phoenix, Irvine, California.
It's all over.
Portland, the whole country.
These are all places I've heard of.
Yeah, I mean, they are.
Yeah.
That sounds like fun, playing trivia with Koechner and you.
Thank you.
I recommend it.
Sight unseen.
Appreciate you, Doug.
Thank you.
And also joining us, you may recognize him from having been pulled out of the crowd
because of his Zach to the Future name tag.
It's Zach Trupp, everybody.
Hey, Doug.
Hey, Zach. So how many Douglas Movies tapings have you attended?
I think this is my fourth.
Okay. And all here at the DC Improv? No, I also you attended? I think this is my fourth. Okay.
And all here at the DC Improv?
No, I also saw you in New York.
Oh, okay.
Cool.
Gramercy Theater, I assume?
Yep, at Gramercy.
Nice.
And what do you do for a living?
I am a very DC job.
I'm a lobbyist.
Oh.
Okay.
So you're a lobbyist, too.
Interesting.
When you go out on the town at night
You really do just ditch that shirt and tie
And jacket
The whole lobbyist outfit
Is missing on you at this point
Absolutely
You go super cash
You're like a secret lobbyist
You spend the whole day in the suit and tie
You want to ditch it at the end
Okay well I'd ask you what you lobby for
But I'm afraid of the answer
Trump digit at the end. Okay, well I'd ask you what you lobby for, but I'm afraid of the answer, so...
Trump.
You should lobby
for changing your last name.
I don't know.
It used to be funny, it's not anymore.
So before
we start playing the games, as
listeners of the show are aware
now, I've uh doing a segment i
call recommendation nation where i ask each of the guests to recommend one movie from a pretty
specific category okay and uh you know just something that you think you know maybe people
hadn't heard of or just hasn't gotten around to and this is in honor of the
fact that he is now once again playing himself in another he's in an actual
video horror game called dead by daylight so I'd like you to recommend or
tell me your favorite Nicolas Cage film. I know.
A lot of good ones to choose from,
but if you know one that's a little more,
you know, maybe under-heralded or something,
let's start with Zach.
I think Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
I love that movie.
It sort of got buried by how excited
everybody got about everything, Everything Everywhere all at once,
because I feel like it's kind of for the same audience,
because it's just so clever and fun and weird.
But yeah, I really liked that movie a lot.
I didn't see it until after.
I was planning to see it, and you hyped it up so much,
and I was afraid that I wouldn't like it as much as you.
It was incredible.
It's such a good movie.
Pedro Pascal is incredible in it.
He's so funny.
So great.
Never seen it.
I really think, you know, part of the stumbling block of that movie was that it is a tough
title to remember and say to, like, buy a ticket.
He's also a lot in all the movies he does, and I think people saw it as Nick Cage playing
Nick Cage, and some people weren't in for the ride.
Well, it's not like he just
does any movie.
I'm a working actor
so I work.
He really is on the record
that's why he's in so many movies that are
questionable is because he really just
rolls the dice and goes to work.
He doesn't want time off.
He hates his family.
No, that's the other thing. I've seen him with his
family and they look like the most loving,
wonderful brood.
Yeah, just as soon as that
camera clicks.
I feel like those faces turn to frowns.
Maybe he's got it figured out.
Maybe that's the secret. Just take every
job and just keep making money.
And have fun.
And people are reaching out to him with interesting things.
I didn't like the fact that in Wally's Wonderland,
it's a silent role.
He never speaks.
He just fights animatronic animals.
It's kind of fun, but it's also like, damn, Nick Cage,
like him not speaking.
It's really one of the things I enjoy about him
is the way he speaks
and the weird shit he says.
You know, he's not going to say,
if you can't say anything,
you're not going to get lines like,
what in Zeus's butthole?
Yeah.
What in the name of Zeus's butthole?
I've never understood what Zeus' butthole
Has to do with anything
That's another thing I saw him explain recently
Is that in movies that are like PG-13
Where you can't drop F-bombs
You can only get one F-bomb in
He likes to just make up things that sound dirty
And then aren't
And I guess Zeus' butthole does sound pretty awful
Yeah
Or magical, you never know
When I don't want to say fuck, I say Zeus's
butthole. So, Zeus's
butthole off. I definitely wouldn't eat
there again.
A great suggestion,
Zach, you're doing great so far.
Eric's doing okay. What do you think,
Eric?
Better than I thought, actually.
Well, I think my personal favorite Nicolas Cage movie is Mandy.
It came out a couple years ago.
I love that to death.
I didn't know I needed Nicolas Cage in underwear,
tighty-whities, chugging vodka, and screaming at my face,
but it's all I think about every day.
I actually knew you needed that.
Yes, I did. I was like,
Eric, take down the pictures.
We have guests coming. I'm like, I won't
take them down. People need to see
these.
And either that or his best movie
personally is Adaptation.
Adaptation is the strongest
acting role. Slow down. Slow down.
One movie.
Yeah.
You had to pick one.
And you started with the one
that I'm going to take.
I'm going with Mandy
because I already wrote it down.
Okay, I'll take adaptation then.
Oh, no.
You know what?
I'll take Mandy.
Everything, what he said.
No, clearly his best movie
is Con Air. Yeah. Oh, my con air yeah that is it's the best cast
i mean everyone's in that thing yeah that is a really good old that is a really good good ending
everyone wins yeah it's supposed to but see that's why nicholas cage has this reputation
because there's people out there believe it or not, that think Mandy and Con Air are bad movies.
What? Well, they're bad people.
Right? I mean, they're
pretty stupid, but the point is... They're enjoyable.
But that's the thing, though.
Entertaining.
But the next Nick Cage movie, you will sit here
and say, that fucking sucked.
And it's, you know, it's
another weird movie.
He just makes weird movies that you gotta like, you know, it's another weird movie. Like, he just makes weird movies that you gotta, like, you know, it's gotta hit your
wavelength, you know?
But that's part of the fun, is that, you know, every other one is a real risky ticket purchase.
He has the most, one of the most eclectic careers, wouldn't you say?
Yeah, absolutely.
We're gonna get serious for 30 minutes here.
Yeah.
Just really dig into Nick Cage.
Everybody curb the laughter for 30 minutes here. Just really dig into Nick Cage.
Everybody curb the laughter for a couple minutes.
I'm just here to talk about raising Arizona for the next 20 minutes.
We'll be in Phoenix, me and Checkner in June.
Late June.
Check it out.
CB Live.
All right.
While you guys stall, I'm going to go ahead and go to a commercial.
We'll be right back.
We are back.
All right, so Rob Mayer is going to be playing for, she was just up here, Rebecca Rubanzai.
Rebecca.
And Eric is playing
for good old D. Air
Eck.
A Ben Affleck film.
And
Anjani's
name tag says Jumanjani.
Hey!
I did as good as I could with that one.
You nailed it.
You think so?
Yeah.
Let's look at what's in the prize bag, shall we?
It's a lot of stuff.
I went to see a motion picture about
wild horses
and the plight
that they have in North America
because the government keeps rounding them up
and just killing them or putting them
in pens instead of
letting them run free. So there's a whole
documentary about that, so check it out if you can.
And they gave me
some stuff, including a nice little
bracelet that probably has
a horsey on it.
I'm guessing, because they also gave me a magazine
called Calling All Horse Girls.
Oh.
Nice.
Jackpot.
They want all the horse girls
to, you know, help get the word out.
Like, call their congressman
and say
stop fucking with the horses
any horse girls
in the building
alright
who knew
in Washington D.C.
you don't have to
you don't have to
pull the crowd at all
during the show
I'll run this thing
I'll stop talking
okay so
I was just at
Magoobies
outside Baltimore
and
picked up a
magazine in the hotel room called Visit Baltimore.
Visit Baltimore Magazine.
Is there a question mark at the end?
From my friends.
There should be.
Oh, here's this also.
This is a wristband, a rubber wristband that's also about saving the horses.
And then this is from my friends at Hemper. They're a monthly cannabis box
company. They gave me some of these
they're called glass hitters. It's a little glass pipe that you
can hit and quit. Ooh, I was just at the Comedy Connection,
another great club, and
they gave me a thing to
write jokes in. I think
that was a subtle hint from them.
And then
we got some Doug Loves Movies
stickers and Doug Benson pin.
All of that is going to one
lucky individual tonight.
And then what they do with it is their business.
I have seen some of the items in the garbage right outside the club.
So I'll just tell you, that does hurt my feelings.
All right.
Let's play some games.
What do you say?
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Let's play some games What do you say?
Let's do it
Decided to bring back
An audience favorite
For this one
People have been requesting it
It's a little something called
Purple Rain Man
I like that
That was a little natural sounding
That response
Here's how Purple Rain Man works it's uh you're
trying to guess only the folks on stage get a guess you're trying to guess marty you get trying
to guess uh the um uh what the mashup title i'm driving at is i'm going to tell you uh in order
the first part of the title will be the first name and the second part will be the second name.
I'll say the third-billed people in the two movies,
then I'll say the second-billed people in the two movies, and then the top-billed people in the two movies.
But through the whole process, you can guess as often as you like.
Got it.
But it's got to be a mash-up title that includes two movie titles
that share a word or a syllable or something
so that they mash up nicely,
kind of like Jumanji Anji.
Well done, Doug.
Jumanjini.
Yes.
I can do this.
All right.
Are you ready, fellas?
Yes.
We all just shout out whenever we have an answer.
Yeah, just whenever you think you know it, just shout it.
Whenever Zach knows it, he's going to shout it out.
I believe it.
Too much pressure.
Zach, what is he thinking?
All right.
So third build are Dwayne Johnson and Jeffrey Arendt.
Big name and another name.
So you've got to think of movies,
Dwayne Johnson would be third billed in,
and then wonder who Jeffrey Arendt is.
That's what I'm doing.
Here's the second billed people.
Paul Walker and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. That's what I'm doing. Here's the second build, people.
Paul Walker and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
So Dwayne Johnson and Paul Walker in one movie.
Fast Night Rises.
Jeffrey Arendt, Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the other.
I'll say yes if you get it correct.
Ready for top build?
Yes.
Vin Diesel and Zooey Deschanel.
See, this is why this game's an audience favorite,
but not a player favorite.
No, no.
Hey, let's just feel stupid for five minutes.
The Fast and the Fury Inception?
Fast 500 Days of Summer?
That is correct!
Oh!
Fucking Trump.
Fuck Trump!
Look, if I had a nickel for every time
someone said that.
You'd have so many Trump and nickels.
Great job, Zach.
Yeah, that's a tough game,
especially with so many Fast and Furious movies to choose from.
But he figured it out.
Fast 500 Days of summer.
And that means that he gets
to go first in our next game.
That's all he wins for doing that.
Yeah. Way to
win the game that didn't matter.
Yeah.
He does get to go first, so I would say
it's some sort of advantage.
I don't know if it is, but
this next game is called Whose Tagline Is It
Anyway?
So we'll start
with Zach and then we'll go to Eric
and then to Rob and here's
the idea of this game.
I'll tell you a tagline
that was used to advertise on like
the poster or in ads or something for a motion picture.
Hopefully not too obscure a movie, but also not necessarily the most known ones.
And you just have to guess.
And this isn't easy.
But there is a theme that could help you along the way.
After we've done a few of them, you might get an idea of where this is going,
and it might make it easier to figure it out.
But also, some of the taglines do describe what happens in the movie,
so you might just recognize it.
Ready, Zach?
Ready.
All right.
Here's the first one.
As soon as I can find it on my paper, scribbled with stuff.
As soon as I can find it on my paper scribbled with stuff.
The tagline is simply, darkness falls soon.
Zach, what movie from all movies ever made do you think they'd say darkness falls soon?
The Mummy Returns. Great guess. Incorrect. I think they'd say darkness falls soon. The mummy returns.
Great guess, incorrect.
We go to Eric.
Darkness falls soon.
If repeating it backwards this game...
Crushing it.
You nailed it! Would that be...
Is that the O.J. Simpson
story?
No.
No.
No, it's not.
Firm no.
Firm no on that one.
Can I go, is it the movie Pitch Black?
Oh, that's a terrific guess, but also not correct.
I didn't think so.
But that was good.
What do you think, Rob?
Fright Night.
Another terrific guess.
That could absolutely be Fright Night.
But it's actually a motion picture.
The aforementioned Roger Ebert is one of his favorite movies.
He loved it.
It's called Dark City.
I like Dark City, too.
Dark City.
You like that?
It is a good movie.
Yeah, there you go.
But, you know, darkness falls in a lot of movies.
So we'll go back to Zach and start all over again,
see if you can figure out this one.
And now also, there's a theme in play here,
that Dark City is one of the things playing into the theme.
Zach, sometimes an accident can be an unhappy woman's best friend.
Sometimes an accident
can be an unhappy woman's best friend.
This is not an O.J. Simpson story.
That's very clear.
Knocked up?
Wait a second.
Let me read this again.
Sometimes an accident.
Okay, sure.
Can be an unhappy woman.
Well, I don't know.
She seemed all right.
She seemed happy.
Best friend.
No.
Eric?
Okay. Okay.
Sometimes.
Okay.
Not going to repeat the whole thing back.
It's not what I'm going to do.
I'll just say the brain words in my head.
Sometimes.
An accident.
Can be an unhappy woman's best friend.
Hello, best friend Hello best friend Is it
The Omen
Oh man
Oh man
Rob
Roseberry's Baby
No more guesses
I'm going with the theme
New Jack City.
Oh.
That's not...
Oh, I see. Cities.
That's what I went for.
That's when you don't have an answer. You try to get a laugh
and that didn't even work.
All right.
0 for 2 on that.
I guess that is essentially
the plot of the movie
based on a Stephen King thing called Dolores Claiborne.
Yeah, I don't remember that movie well enough to know that that's what...
I don't know who the unhappy woman's best friend is.
Jennifer Jason Leigh is in it.
She's nobody's best friend.
Yeah.
All right, so we're back to Zach.
Nobody's on the board yet.
The Jennifer Jason Lee crowd.
But, you know.
Classic DC.
Try to think about what Dark City and Dolores Claiborne might have in common,
and don't say it out loud.
Zach, this next one is dealer, snitch, junkie, hustler.
And each one of those words has a period after it.
And then they don't, they stopped
when they got to a bitch and a lover.
Totally random guess.
Blow?
Oh, great guess.
No.
Eric.
Can you repeat it?
Mm-hmm.
I thought you repeat them.
Yeah, I thought you were going to repeat it.
Dealer, period.
Snitch, period.
Junkie, period.
Hustler, period.
Can I have the country of origin?
you know what I'm just going to give you a blanket answer
all of these are US
that helped a lot
alright
let me just throw this out here
I just like this movie and it feels like it fits this one
how about the movie Wonderland?
oh another great answer that could be it but no just throw this out here. I just like this movie and it feels like it fits this one. How about the movie Wonderland? Oh,
another great answer.
That could be it, but no.
Son of a bitch. Yeah.
What do you think it is,
Rob? I, this is also my ability to get
this right. Less than zero.
Hmm.
Yeah, that seems, that
describes the plot of that movie
I think a little bit, but it's
not that either
It's a motion picture from 1992
with Lawrence Fishburne and Jeff
Goldblum called Deep Cover
Ah
Deep Cover. Alright, Zach
This is your chance, man
You could really
take this home right now. This is the last one.
If you get this one right, you win this game.
If you don't, Eric and Rob get a shot at it.
You noticed I said Rob quickly after Eric.
Yes.
Sorry, Rebecca Megan.
You called her Megan during the commercial break.
That callback doesn't make sense.
Hey. That's who doesn't make sense.
Hey.
That's who you get for not showing up in person.
Get on a plane, people.
It's worth it.
All right.
All right.
So we start with you, Zach.
But let me recap once again. Dark City, Dolores Claiborne, and Deep Cover
are the answers so far.
Let the wackiest cab company in town
take you for a ride.
I can't think of the movie,
but I think I can picture the poster.
Oh.
You can't draw your answer, Zach.
Do you want to hear it again?
Please.
Let the wackiest cab company in town take you for a ride.
I can't think of it, so so Herbie Fully Loaded
one of the greatest titles of all time
right
because the adults love it but the children don't know why
I just pictured Herbie
just pouring booze into Herbie's gas tank
and I'm all fucked up.
That movie, like, Michael
Keaton's in that, I think. Anyway,
alright.
Eric? Yes.
Do you have a guess?
A lot of car movies
to choose out there.
This one has to do with,
it's not the Uber movie.
It's amazing to get inside how your mind
works. It's fascinating. I mean,
listen, if I was going for a wacky
ride,
this has to be the movie Taxi Driver.
Yes?
Alright, that is a really
wacky ride.
I thought you were going to say taxi with Jimmy Fallon,
but I've said too much.
Rob?
I'm assuming we have a start with a D theme,
and I'm assuming the city we're in.
I'm going to say DC cab.
That is correct.
Thank you.
That is the correct answer.
You're welcome.
They don't just begin with D, Rob.
They all begin, first word D, second word C.
Oh. There was a whole DC in that last one. Oh, I didn't even need with D, Rob. They all begin, first word D, second word C. Oh.
There was a whole DC in that last one.
Oh, I didn't even need that part.
Yeah, yeah.
Very clever, Doug.
Yeah, oh, you know.
Or is it Doug Kenson?
Daxi driver.
The other movies that didn't make it,
because I researched every movie that are two words with DC,
and there was Dr. Cyclops.
Okay.
I didn't put that one in there.
And then...
Dirk Klig...
No.
No.
But there was only a couple more.
There's not too many two-word titles that begin with D and C.
And Catcher.
Oh, that's one word, I think.
I'm not good at English.
It could be two words, though.
You know, like the movie Cast Away with Tom Hanks is cast away.
Most people would think it's just the one word because they say it so fast.
Yeah, so I only mentioned Dreamcatcher
and I take a good breath in between.
Dreamcatcher.
That was worth it.
We'll do some more of those during the break.
We'll be right back.
All right, we're back! Woo!
Okay, it's time to play a game
that's going to determine our winner today.
And, you know. Zach has proven
to be formidable.
Barely.
Barely.
He's formidable-esque.
Formidable adjacent.
And
Rob won that last game, though.
So, yeah.
Thank you, three people.
All right.
This isn't Jeopardy with a goddamn runaway
where you don't even have to watch final.
This next game is going to determine it all.
Rob, you're going to get to go first.
All right.
Then we're going to go to Eric, then to Zach, then to me.
What?
I play along on this game.
It's something I call super last person standing.
Good energy.
Yeah, that was a mime I used to do when I was in mime school.
I'm on a roller coaster.
Okay, so
I thought we were
Kings and Minions suddenly
Wow
Local reference, hey
No, just
I'm just sitting over here
In my own Hershey Park
That's right
I shit myself
Well, hopefully Don't show anybody Your bush garden That's right, I shit myself.
Well, hopefully you don't show anybody your bush garden.
Nice.
All right, so normally we get the name of an actor or actress, like you saw played this evening expertly by Zach.
He stayed in long enough to not even have
to have the last answer.
It worked out great for him.
But now
Rob's playing for Rebecca.
She could still win the prize bag.
Zach, you don't win anything
really if you win today
other than just the
pride of a job well done.
It's good enough for me.
You could probably get out there and really tell people in the pride of a job well done. That's good enough for me. Right? Yeah, you could probably get out there
and really tell people in the world of real estate,
not only am I a good lobbyist,
I'm a podcast champion.
Yeah.
Yeah, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.
I'm still rooting for Eric to pull this one out,
to be honest with you.
Yeah.
Yeah, why don't you show up, Eric?
Yeah.
We started an hour ago, dude.
Come on.
My wife waited for me to pull out.
We got two kids.
Yikes.
At the same time?
Yeah.
We abducted them.
They'll get in any van all right uh
you want a picture where did you teach them to have such a love of vans
did you show them a lot of chris farley sketches you're gonna be living it dad i found a van to
live in just like you've been telling me all these years.
All right, so here's what's going to happen.
The new version of this game that I'm very excited about
is where the people who are your,
that you're playing on behalf of,
they get to pick the names of the three actors
that we are going to take turns naming movies
that they were in until
there's one last
one of us.
I mean, we're all sitting down, but
the last one's standing.
So you can be real strategic about it.
If someone's playing for you and name
an actor that you think will
help or hurt the other players,
or help your player or hurt the others, I don't know.
I don't know how well you know these guys.
We go way back.
But with no coaching from everybody on stage, they just have to say a name,
and then we're going to lock it in.
That's going to be one of the names we use.
So where is your person, Zach?
Manjani?
Oh, there she is right there.
Yeah, that's right.
Manjani.
What actor or actress do you think?
Robin Williams.
Oh, Robin Williams.
We're going to be here for a while.
That's a real, wow.
Okay.
He's been in some movies.
All right. and then.
I got Derek, don't fuck me.
Derek, what, who would you like?
What actress, actor?
The Rock.
So it's only movies where he was listed as The Rock,
or do Dwayne Johnson movies count as well?
Because he transitioned.
Oh, God.
Dwayne The Rock.
Johnson.
All right.
And where's Rob's person?
Stage left.
Oh, yeah, Rebecca.
Sam Rockwell. Sammy Rock rockwell that's an interesting one
that's fun all right so we got the films now you don't have to name the ones of the
one your person named thank god you can yeah yeah you're not stuck with just Sam Rockwell.
I thought she was doing a rock theme.
Rock Hudson, The Rock, Sam Rockwell.
Nobody said Rock Hudson, all right?
Just let's be clear about that.
Damn it, because I studied up on him before the show.
No, this is just Sam Rockwell, Dwayne The Rock Johnson,
and Robin The Rock Williams.
I love this.
It's a different kind of rock.
Did you see his sitcom Rockin' Rocky?
Yeah.
All right.
So those three actors, you can name any movie from any of them
when it's your turn.
But quid pro quo, you do have a lifeline.
You can go to your name tag one time to ask them for help.
I say the earlier the better because the longer you wait, the more likely they are to not have a title as well.
But you play your own game.
You do it how you want to do it.
Who did I say was going to start?
Oh, Rob.
I mean, yeah, Rob's starting.
Go ahead, Rob.
Good Morning Vietnam.
Is Robin Williams.
Hook.
Oh, also Robin Williams.
Good Will Hunting.
Also Robin Williams. Good Will Hunting. Also Robin Williams.
One hour photo.
Robin Williams.
Zach.
I think it's me.
What?
What happened?
Did I skip you?
No.
It went to him, to you, and then...
Does it back to me?
When was my turn?
You just went.
I was looking at the paper. Oh, you're next.
Okay, go ahead.
Yeah, you're next, Ron.
All right.
I want Zach to win.
So do I.
You guys got eliminated. I'm very sorry.
Jumanji.
Oh, of course.
You can't
You gotta
The bird cage
Aladdin
Wait slow down
Oh yeah Robin Williams is in the bird cage
He's also in Aladdin
Wait you guys are just gonna do all the Robin Williams
Patch Adams
The world according to Garp
is that it
alright
solid one
Sam Rockwell
I'll go with
how about the movie
Doom
with Dwayne
and The Rock Johnson
okay
Fern Gully what Fern Gully that's Rob Williams too movie Doom. Oh, Dwayne the Rock Johnson? Okay.
Fern Gully.
What?
Fern Gully.
That's Rob Moyens 2?
Show off.
I mean, this is just amazing that he's up here.
And like, it's just, it's just, what dreams may come? Jumanji 2? come.
Jumanji 2?
What are you doing, Rob?
That's not a movie, right?
Well, yeah.
She said it is.
I'm pretty sure that's for The Rock.
She's a Jumanji lobbyist. I'm the only...
I'm the only judge of these things.
If I'm wrong, you can call the corrections department later.
Because every time an audience member thinks something's wrong,
they're not right either a lot of the time.
So it just becomes a weird argument.
But anyway, I don't believe that.
I think what she's responding to is that there's more Jumanji movies.
Right.
But Robin Williams is not in them. They've been made
since he died.
Oh, The Rock is in. You have to
say the exact title. You can't just say Jumanji
2. Well, okay. See, if you just
let me work through this.
Insomnia.
Yes. Very good. Yes.
Very good.
I, Mrs. Doubtfire, think you didn't know what you were talking about.
Bicentennial Man?
Yes.
Shakes the Clown. Mother.
Ooh!
Ooh! Ooh!
Fast Five.
Mm-hmm.
We learned that this evening.
Yes, yes.
How about The Rundown with The Rock?
Yes.
There you go.
Christopher Walken.
That's a good one.
The Tooth Fairy? Yes. I you go. Christopher Walken. That's a good one. The Tooth Fairy?
Yes.
Goddamn, The Rock's been in a lot of movies.
Great movies.
He's like a scorpion king.
Come on, though.
Yeah, tap dance your way through this.
Was that a hint?
Are you?
No.
Okay.
Which tap dancing movie is The Rock in?
The Rock and Gregory Hines.
You know, we haven't done any Sam Rockwells.
Yeah, we haven't.
Yeah.
Yes.
Just paint a Rockwell.
Right.
I'm blanking on the Rockwell.
For reals?
Yes, for reals.
Do you want to go to your lifeline? Lifeline me there. Yeah, maybe give him a Rockwell. Yeah. Get some Rockwell... For reals? Yes, for reals. Do you want to go to your lifeline? Lifeline me there.
Maybe give him a Rockwell.
Get some Rockwell action. Give me one
started. Jojo Rabbit?
Jojo Rabbit, of course.
That'll inspire me.
He's great in that.
The thing I like most about
Jojo Rabbit is how he
continued walking tall.
Oh, nice.
All right.
Hobbs and Shaw?
Yeah.
Wait, can I?
Okay.
All right, so it's my turn again.
Popeye.
Popeye.
I'm so bad at this.
All right.
You used your lifeline.
I did.
Take your 50-50.
I don't think
he's really here for the free train.
Do you think Koechner would answer the phone
if you called him right now?
He would, actually.
Ask him.
Celebrity lifeline.
Celebrity lifeline. Celebrity Lifeline.
Do this.
We will call.
All right, let's take an audience poll.
How many people think Keckner's going to fuck him right now?
And not answer.
Show of hands.
Oh, they believe it.
Okay, here we go.
Calling David Keckner.
I'm betting he doesn't answer.
Hey, Dave.
Dave, I'm doing Doug Love Movies here at the DCM Probe with Doug Benson.
I need your help.
I love Doug.
Yeah.
Good start.
That wasn't the question.
That was, do you know, Doug?
I need a Sam Rockwell movie or a The Rock or Robin Williams movie
that's not obvious?
That's not obvious?
Because we've gone through
a lot of the obvious ones.
Give me a Sam Rockwell movie
because we haven't really...
Okay.
Matchstick Men.
Solid.
Matchstick Men.
Yay!
Thank you.
You're my hero.
Now what?
Okay.
I'll tell you what happens.
We go one more round, then I'm out.
And the prize is nothing.
So I couldn't have meant less.
But thank you.
I appreciate you.
Say hi to the DC improv.
Dave Koechner, everybody.
Thank you, Dave.
Bye, Dave. I'll see you Friday. Thank you, Dave. Bye, Dave.
See you, dude.
Bye.
I can't hear you.
You have to keep talking to him.
Bye.
Call him later.
Tell him you're busy doing a podcast.
Obviously.
Can we each call Dave Kettner now?
You can.
Yes.
Yes.
No, Zach.
Rob is already on to me.
I allowed that celebrity phone call to happen because Rob's not winning this game.
No chance.
No chance.
There's no way it's going to get.
No.
I'm going to just call random people on the phone book.
Domino's Pizza?
Do you know Sam Rockwell movies?
All right.
Okay.
Eric. Okay. I'm All right. Okay, Eric.
Okay, I'm back again.
Here we are.
Sam Rockwell movies?
The movie Choke.
Nice. Choke.
Great movie.
Mr. Right.
Oh, another Sammy Rockwell.
God, it was funny.
I was driving the other day,
and I saw ads for several Sam
Rockwell movies on
three billboards outside
Ebbing, Missouri.
That's the one I was
thinking of and I didn't get it, so I'm
just going to bow out, but thank you. I'm sorry,
Rebecca. You deserve
better tonight.
I'd say I'd make it up to you,
but I won't, actually.
Did you see those
three billboards after you drove past
the green mile?
Oh, nice.
No, I was too busy looking up
at the moon.
What were you on? Some sort
of galaxy quest?
Oh, yeah!
Oh, shit!
Ow! Once you're the dead weight was out, this. Oh, shit. Oh.
Ow.
God, once you're the dead weight was out,
this game took up a notch.
Listen, I'm not just like one of the other guys.
Let's make this fast 10.
Oh.
Fast X.
Comes out Friday. I'll accept it. Fast X. Comes out Friday.
I'll accept it.
Thank you.
It's not like the mummy's going to return.
You know, Eric, I don't like to give out any other awards besides who the winner is today,
but today I would like to call you the world's greatest dad.
Oh, wow.
I know three of you that beg to differ.
He has a wife and two kids.
That's the three. Anyway,
did the math.
I don't know. I remember
it when I was
just a small Aladdin.
We already said Aladdin.
Did we say Aladdin 2?
Because he wasn't in that.
How about, whoa, whoa, whoa.
There's another one. Oh, you also have your
lifeline too, Eric. Oh, I have a lifeline.
All right, sweet. I'm going to have your lifeline too, Eric. Oh, I have a lifeline. All right, sweet.
I'm going to call in my lifeline, Eric.
Derek, get up here.
What do we got?
Give me.
Flubber.
Flubber.
Flubber.
Thank God.
Lifeline.
Oh, wait.
Slow down, slow down.
Zach had to go to his lifeline.
This is exciting.
And she said...
Moana.
Moana.
Nice.
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right.
I'm going to go with...
I should do another Sam Rockwell, I think.
If I can think of one quick enough.
Because it's not fair to take a lot of time
just because I'm the host.
I think you're allowed.
What? Okay.
In that case, I will.
Let's go with, man, Doug, come on,
think of something, be cool.
I love that applause was like, a lot of people don't know what just happened
but the rock is in be cool the sequel to get shorty yeah um
duh
Sam Rockwell is President Bush and Vice President, yes? Is that it?
I knew that.
Vice, just called Vice, yeah?
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
Nice.
Zach.
Jumanji the next level?
I think so.
Jumanji 2.
Thank you.
Yeah.
I got to thank Eric for the assist on reminding me that he played W.
Didn't they do a whole movie about W?
They did.
Yeah.
Is that your guess right there?
Yeah.
I like that one.
Okay.
The Rock, Sam Rockwell, or a deep Robin Williams cut.
What do I go with?
It's also The Rock, you know.
And there is The Rock.
I already did Walking Tall and The Rundown.
And I already used my hardest one, Doom.
Which I didn't think anyone would fucking guess. Do you have any more ready to go, Zach?
I think I have one more.
Eric, pressure Eric.
You have to deliver.
I have to get this.
Does WrestleMania 20
count?
Because I got like
15 more.
Monday
Not Raw, June 3rd,
2001. I'll keep going, motherfuckers. Monday Not Raw June 3rd 2001

Unbelievable
Zach
Fate of the Furious
Sure
Yeah he's in that.
Absolutely.

You're just making up words.
Putting them together.
Doug and I planned this before.
God damn it.
Hey, it's not my fault, San Andreas.
Back to you eric

What's the one where he has the teeth thing?
Right.
If only you knew what that was called.
DC Cat.
Motherfucker.
No, Robin Williams was in
a fucking great movie.
You guys are all going to know this one.
You sold that.
Mork and Cindy.

That's a part of the title.
Good morning. Mork and Mindy the title. Good morning.
More Ken Mindy the movie.
More Ken Mindy.
You're out.
You're out.
You're out.
You're out.
Zach.
Black Adam.
Oh, that's a good one.
Just happened.
Just happened.
I'm glad that everybody came here tonight
instead of spending a night at the museum.
Oh!
Boom!
We could just hop over there for a night at the museum
to Battle of the Smithsonian.
Whoa!
Somebody lives in D.C.
All right.
Or we could go over to
by the Museum 3.
Don't know what the fuck the subtitle is.
I always get tripped up by that one.
I can never remember that one.
But anyway, Zach is our winner.
Zach!
Well done.
Good job sir
Zach you did it
That means since you won
We get to give the prize bag
To the person you were playing on behalf of
Congratulations
I think you're really going to like that bracelet that's in there.
It's in a nice box, and I think that that bracelet retails for, you know,
more than you'd spend on that bracelet.
But help the wild horses, everybody.
And, yeah, Zach, you're going to go first in doing your plugs.
What have you got to plug?
Give us a new listing, Zach.
Is there anybody, like, do you know anybody that listens to the show you'd like to give a shout-out to?
I'll say a shout-out to Bridget, the person I usually come to the show with.
Oh, okay.
What happened?
You want to talk about it? And I'd like to plug to Doug Loves Minis. Oh, the person I usually come to the show with. Oh, okay. What happened? You want to talk about it?
And a big round of applause to Doug Loves Minis.
Oh, my.
I would love to hear those come back.
Oh, my God.
It was just me just babbling for a few minutes
on a fairly regular basis,
but I'm glad you liked it.
And I'm bringing it back just for you, Zach.
Yeah.
Hell yeah.
Awesome.
Smart move, plugging in on his own show.
We'll see.
Hey, do you have social media, Zach?
I don't. And you don't want to?
No. Okay.
Alright. Respect that.
I would think a good lobbyist would have
an Instagram, but...
He's busy trying to
sell condos to Blackwater. Guys, relax.
We get it.
It's my business.
It's affordable.
You'll never own it, though.

He can barely talk, and I refuse to stop doing the podcast with him. He's
gotten better.
Literally true. He

which he won Best Actor at the New Jersey Horror Con in
like 2018. Yeah, it's a big deal.
I'm kind of from a famous family.
Yeah, you're like the Baldwins.
I can't believe
you're a goddamn nepo, baby.
Rob Mayer, what are you up to, buddy?
Again, I'm touring with David Kekner.
We're all out there, all around the country.
Also, my murder mission company,
Dial-A-Light Productions, we do shows here quarterly.
Erica's part of the show.
I am.
We'll be back here for Halloween.
It's a Halloween-themed show at Christmas.
It'll be on the website soon, dcimpro.com.
Also, just go to followrob.com.
It has my link tree to the podcast,
DLP Agenda,
all the show calendar, the murder
mystery, all the good stuff, Instagram, all the ways to follow
me. Followrob.com. Thank you.
It's probably better you follow Rob than me, if I'm being
honest. Much better. Thank you, guys.
DouglasMovies is back in San
Diego at the American Comedy Company on Wednesday,
July 19th, opening night of Comic-Con.
So that's always a really fun one.
Thank you once again to the DC Improv
for giving me a place to play.
And to this audience who has been amazing.
I doubted some of you.
I treated people unfairly
I judged
shouldn't judge anyone
and yeah
thank you for everybody being here
oh and let's hear it for David Sanborn's
dad Martin Sanborn
Marty!
good old Marty
people would say to him
when he'd say
I'm Martin Sanborn they'd say, I'm Martin Sanborn,
they'd say, any relation to David Sanborn?
And he'd always go, no.
And so then when he had a kid,
he named him David Sanborn.
So then he could just say yes
when people asked that goddamn question.
And then the follow-up question
about saxophones or whatever,
then he has to say, not that David Sanborn.
At least he wasn't Marty Duke.
Marty Koresh.
Let's hear it one more time
for Zach Trump.
Zach.
Eric Woodworth.
Rob Mayer
And Doug Benson
Oh stop it
Give it up for Doug
Okay get ready with the theme song
Because this is a short one
As always
Yeah
Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie
Eyes of gold is viewing prowess makes him cocky
There's no room in his heart for you
Cause Doug loves movies
