Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming baby sticky seeds With 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth There's still not one that he won't see Cause Doug loves movies Hello everybody, UCB Theater in Los Angeles Hot crowd here for I Love Movies Um, spelled I-L-O-V-E movies, not I-L-I-S-L-E movies. I love movies.
Starting point is 00:00:39 I really do. That's the theme. Get it? I love movies. Hard and Firm theme song. I love that theme song, and I love that people have to listen to it over and over again.
Starting point is 00:00:53 This is the Halloween episode. The thing I was discovering that I like about this podcast occurred to me during the last show, and that is listening to people talk on what is essentially the radio without kooky sound effects and sound bites being plugged in by some dude
Starting point is 00:01:11 whose job it is to do that after people say things. You know, like that. I just did it with my mouth, because I'm a double threat. Comedian, mouth noisemaker. But I think thatisemaker. But I
Starting point is 00:01:27 think that's cool. But now I'm also thinking it's fun to have a fart come in after somebody says something. So now I'm torn. I started off really thinking I was on to something, but maybe people love those noises. I'll try to do some noises during
Starting point is 00:01:43 my opening joke. So it's Halloween week, which reminded me... Ooh! Which reminded me that I like scary movies. Ah! And I saw War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise. I mean, we didn't go together. He's in it. I don't know a noise to make when I'm talking about Tom Cruise.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Yes! Or no, someone would hit something and you'd suddenly hear I feel the need! Like that would come on. And I didn't cut it off before the speed part. Lost all enthusiasm for making my own sound effects. So I saw War of the Worlds, and I just wanted to say that that movie scared me, not because it was a scary movie, but because the message was scary. The message of that movie, of course, is don't have kids,
Starting point is 00:02:39 because they will slow your ass down if you need to run from an alien invasion. They're going to be like, I gotta pee. I gotta pee. And you'll be like, you gotta run. You can pee when you're dead. My guest today on I Love Movies,
Starting point is 00:03:02 is one of the writer-performers from the classic, is it too soon to call it classic, sketch program Mr. Show on HBO and now currently in reruns on I believe Comedy Central. He is the co-curator of the weekly live comedy show Comedy Death Ray, which can be seen every
Starting point is 00:03:20 Tuesday night right here at the UCB Theater in Los Angeles. Please welcome my buddy Scott Aukerman, everybody. Hi, Doug. Hi, Scott Aukerman, everybody. How are you? I'm good, Scott Aukerman, everybody. I've added everybody to your name.
Starting point is 00:03:37 Hi, everybody. So this particular episode that we are taping right now, well in advance, is going to air Halloween week. Oh, scary. See, you're good at it, too. So I'd like to start with the following question. Sure. What's your favorite flower? Little twister-oony there.
Starting point is 00:03:58 No, what are some of the horror movies that you like? I really like Dawn of the Dead. Oh, yes. Both versions, actually. Me, too. movies that you like i really like dawn of the dead oh yes both versions actually me too i love the new version me too and i'm upset that people are mad yeah i don't know why people are mad at it tarantino and rodriguez i think yeah i don't get it mad at the new dawn of the dead you know what's weird is i think i do think that uh how do you make four rooms and get mad at anything? How do you make two rooms and get mad at anything? Any number of rooms. No, I think even 20 years ago,
Starting point is 00:04:35 remaking movies was really common. Because if you look at movies of the 30s, they would remake movies two years later. Oh, every other movie was Mildred Pierce. Yeah, or the Ghost Breakers, you know? My example, I was trying to be stupid, but you had a real one. I don't know what Mildred Pierce is. Just some Betty Davis movie or Joan Crawford or some shithead.
Starting point is 00:04:57 I like calling those old classic actresses shitheads. My head's blowing up, you. Oh, Joan Fontaine, what a shithead. Shit's blowing up you. Oh, Joan Fontaine, what a shithead. Oh, man. Did you see her go in the wind? What a shithead. What a fucking shithead. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:05:20 What is it? Is that implying? Barbara Stanwyck in Double Indemnity. Shithead! What I like about it, is it implying that her character is a shithead? Or just her... Judy Garland's a shithead. She's probably actually closer to being a shithead than those other examples. Because she was kind of drunk or whatever.
Starting point is 00:05:40 So you could call her a shithead. Paul Newman, what a shithead. Well, now I'm switching over. Newman, what a shithead. Well, now I'm switching over into distinguished older gentlemen. Modern people. What are you looking at the book for? Just coming up with names. Willem Dafoe, what a shithead.
Starting point is 00:05:56 Is that really? Willem Dafoe is such a shithead. The next half hour is just you reading every name in the book. Shithead. Would you laugh if you pulled up on a car and they had a bumper sticker that said, Willem Dafoe. Willem Dafoe is a shithead. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:16 I would honk the horn and ask him to pull over and say, What is the story behind it? You'd think it was a teaser advert for... Yeah, you heard me, advert for a movie called The Shitheads. Yes. And there's several bumper stickers that say each cast member is a shithead. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Jane Curtin is a shithead. You'd wait for years for shitheads to come out. And you'd be like, whatever happened to that shithead Willem Dafoe movie? And people would go, no, he's just not liked. He's just that shithead Willem Dafoe movie? And people would go, no, he's just not liked. He's just a shithead.
Starting point is 00:06:48 There's mass produced Willem Dafoe as a shithead. But also, for me it would be a way to get it out there. It's nails on a chalkboard when someone says Willem Dafoe. It makes me so unhappy. So maybe if I put it on my car, more people would start calling him Willem.
Starting point is 00:07:03 It's because you said it once a long time ago, and you hate yourself. I don't think I ever got that one wrong, but I have gotten names wrong. Like what? You know, where you really, with all the confidence in the world, you say a name in front of somebody, and then it's totally wrong. You're either pronouncing it wrong, or you're saying the wrong person. Oh, remember that argument we got into about the word and how it was pronounced? They said it on buffy the vampire
Starting point is 00:07:25 slayer what word was it it was uh integral which they were saying they said integral right and you i was like it's integral bitch yeah you were like why are they keep repeating the word integral because they said it three times on the show and i said well it can be pronounced both ways and you said no it cannot not but by pronouncing it both ways you mean our gays are allowed to say yes but then then i sent you a dictionary listing that's that proved it could be said both ways and you got really mad at me and you said not in my dictionary not in my dictionary not in my leonard malton book it doesn't say that. Very upset. Yeah, well, I wasn't smoking pot back then, so that could have had something to do with it.
Starting point is 00:08:09 You weren't smoking pot back then? I swear you were. Yeah, I was probably very high at the time. Oh, do we have to say that for legal reasons? Yeah, for legal reasons. No, you weren't smoking pot at all. No, we don't have to say that. When did you start?
Starting point is 00:08:22 Smoking pot? When I was 27. So should I say how many years ago that is no it's been a long time it's been a lot so yeah and we've only known each other for no i definitely was you were i may not have smoked pot and called you up and yelled at you about integral and how that's how it's like i've had people yell at me about coupon and coupon. Right. Why? What do you say?
Starting point is 00:08:47 I don't care either way. Oh, yeah. But integral, I have very strong feelings about. Very strong. I think it's... Tell my earhole that. I think it's integral to the use of the word to pronounce it that way. We actually, on Mr. Show, Dino doing a voiceover said integral, which is a big pet peeve of mine. Right.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Integral, because people say that all the time. And he said it on a voiceover, and I pointed it out, and he was like, I don't care. And so it's there in the show forever, and it bugs me every time I hear it. But couldn't it be construed as funny mispronunciation? No, because I think he was supposed to be an intelligent person saying the word. Integral. An integral part. I hate it. Integra. And that's why I think on Buffy they were saying
Starting point is 00:09:28 integral. Because it's easier to say? They all, in their lives, they probably were saying integral all the time and then someone's like, hey, you're mispronouncing it. You can't say it. So they're like, can I just say integral? So now you're saying that it probably is a much lesser preferred
Starting point is 00:09:44 pronunciation. It's just for idiots to use. That's exactly what I'm saying, Doug. Okay. I don't know. Good. I feel some closure. All these years I really kept a lot bottled in about our integral argument.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Obviously it was me. You didn't even remember it. You know what I'm going to do? What? Say integral from now on. Yes. I'm going to fucking run the other way with it. Do it.
Starting point is 00:10:04 Let's start an integral club. You pass me the ball. I'm taking it. Is someone whispering to us? Did the entire audience leave? Is that what happened? That was just a really boring section. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:10:16 We really stank it up. Maybe they have strong feelings about integral. I guess so. Maybe they have strong feelings we should move on. Well, that just brings me to an interesting point. Did you ever see the movie Integral? Integral? They could never name a movie that because then everyone was mispronouncing it.
Starting point is 00:10:36 Yeah. I was shocked that they called that NASCAR movie Talladega Nights. Yeah, that is one that I kept going around saying, Talagada. And Talagadar. You sound like a five-year-old when you say it. Talagada. Why do I sound like a five-year-old? It sounds like a five-year-old
Starting point is 00:10:56 mispronouncing something. Talagada. Sounds like he's trying to say alligator. Talagada. I was bit by a Talladega. Still too soon after Steve Irwin. Oh, Steve, they're not going to broadcast that footage, Doug. Not going to broadcast it.
Starting point is 00:11:16 I'm glad they're not going to broadcast it. Do you want to see it? You know, once, remember that big freeway shooting where the guy pulled his car over and set fire to his car and his dog and ran out and blew his head off with a shotgun and it was all on the news I was at the office that day and didn't get a chance to see it
Starting point is 00:11:35 and so we were working on the show at the time and we were like hey we have friends who can get that footage and we got it and I don't want to see stuff like that ever again. It was horrible. You looked at that one. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:48 We watched it. We were like, ah, this is going to be great. Guy blowing his head off. And he did it, and it was bummer time. Yeah, because it's really violent, and it's also a person just blew his own head off. You don't get that. I'm just watching a movie.
Starting point is 00:12:04 It's a guy blowing his head off. Yeah, but you don't get that I'm watching the violence It's a guy blowing his head off Yeah but you don't get that I'm watching a movie Thing that you get to feel Yeah in a movie When they blow People's heads off Like that great scene
Starting point is 00:12:13 With Willem H. Macy Right In Boogie Nights Where he takes out the gun And goes Boom Bloosh Right
Starting point is 00:12:22 Like the brains Always look so great. They look awesome. Almost edible. Yeah, yeah. But when a guy does it for realsies, I don't know. What is it, less blood or something?
Starting point is 00:12:34 I don't... What is it? What is it that makes it not awesome? First of all, I think we were more bummed out about the setting on fire stuff than anything. Have you ever seen any of those Faces of Death things where people's skin is falling?
Starting point is 00:12:47 I've seen real guy running on fire footage, and I never like it. But did you ever see that one footage of the guy jumping out of the plane and his chute doesn't open? No, I don't think so. This was awesome. And he has a camera on him because he was taping himself jump out of the plane. He starts going oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck and then he hits the ground and lives he hits the ground nothing's wrong with him he's like well i'm alive i'm alive he starts going oh i'm alive and he like jumps up and he's
Starting point is 00:13:20 like yeah i'm alive and he was perfectly fine isn't that the weirdest thing i was hoping there was some more of a twist at the end no he was then a dog set him on fire oh yeah at uh fisherman's wharf well we're going back to last week's show yeah last week was a great show oh it the way. Oh, it was amazing. Mike Blyden, the energy, the fire. That's his nickname, the energy, the fire. It's kind of a weird nickname. I mean, it kind of takes the energy and fire out of you just having to say both.
Starting point is 00:13:55 I like it. Usually people don't have nicknames like that. People have nicknames like the Bammer or something. That's Maria Bamford. Right. But to have Michaelael the energy the fire because you can go what's up t-e-t-f
Starting point is 00:14:18 and and i would have to take that long to think of it every time. You could just say Tetev. When he's walking towards me, I'll just go into a white panic. Hey, what's up? Fuck. Hey, the energy, the fire. Then you have to say the whole thing after you couldn't get the initials right. I am hoping, actually. Here comes fucking Tetev.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Oh, here comes the energy, the fire. I'm hoping that it sticks and gets in your movie somehow now to where in the credits he's the energy. Well, that'd be... The fire. That'd just be a great card on a movie directed by Michael, the energy, the fire. Hey, you know what card I saw on a movie that I've never seen?
Starting point is 00:14:58 It sounds like he's... You'll remember. Go ahead. I saw a card in Jackass Number two I've never seen it in a movie before Which was beer provided by I don't think there's ever been a movie
Starting point is 00:15:12 That has had that Oh yeah maybe not No can you think of one Other than Strange Brew maybe Right or Artie Lang's Beer Fest Or Beer League Beer Lake
Starting point is 00:15:22 Artie Lang's Beer Lake. What happens is he lives in a house on the lake, and he puts a beer in the mailbox, and a girl gets her beer two years later, but it's full of vomit. Really? Yeah, there's no beer in the can. He's just a can full of vomit.
Starting point is 00:15:40 That's a good prank. Artie Lang's a genius. Oh, Beer House. No, he has a movie called arty lang's beer league league league oh okay leak leak and there's also a beer fest by the broken lizard guys yeah i remember that yeah they're both i had no idea what it was yeah kind of yeah the posters were out but the the awareness was low So you just look at the poster and go, I refuse to be aware of this. The poster actually looked like a beer poster, which I think was to its detriment. What are you looking at?
Starting point is 00:16:13 The time? I'm checking the time. I keep a, you know, close watch on that time of mine. According to IMDb... Yes, sir. You played a character called mr hollywood pants in something called that darn punk yes one of my many film roles mr hollywood pants is that uh that's a vandals thing yeah my friend joe escalante who's the morning person on indie 103
Starting point is 00:16:38 is also in a punk band and also makes movies and we're old friends and he asked me to be in a couple he makes films and what does he do? Does he sell them as shows, or do they just go to video or fan club? No, he owns his own label, so he puts them out through the label, and then he also creates a soundtrack for them. And sometimes the soundtrack, they sell them both, so you buy the movie and the soundtrack. So if you're interested in the soundtrack,
Starting point is 00:17:01 you also get the movie for free and vice versa. And usually the soundtrack version does way better, but they get the movie for free and vice versa. And usually the soundtrack version does way better, but they get the movie for free and it counts towards how many he sold. Right, so he's moving some units. Yeah. That's nice. And then a few years later, you reunited with them. That's right. To appear in Cake Boy.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Cake Boy, yeah, which is actually not a bad movie. I mean, it's a bad movie. It's not bad at all for a really bad nod. No, it's not bad at all for a really bad no it's funny but you know who else is in the Patton's in that and Brian Posehn and Bob Odenkirk and a lot of fun yeah that's a lot of fun people yeah it's a it's not bad my friend Warren wrote this I get this all the time I get people saying hey do you want to read my script and he was one of those people and I was
Starting point is 00:17:42 like just really bumming that a good friend, I had to tell him that a script sucked. Right, right. But it was really funny. Well, it's nice of you to assume your good friend wrote a shitty script. Well, he's not a writer. He's a guitarist. No, he wouldn't know how to use the word in tag role, for instance.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Good callback. But my favorite Scott Aukerman movie role, Young Nigel in Austin Powers in Goldmember. That's right. Oh, behave. You were at the premiere of that, were you not? Yeah. Yeah, and you were the only person who could point me out in the movie.
Starting point is 00:18:16 What do you mean? Well, everyone else who went to see me in it was like, where were you? Were you cut out? But you actually were like, no, he was... He was Michael Caine, young Michael Caine, with his back to the camera mostly? Yeah, I auditioned for it, and I had a scene. You had a sweet-ass Michael Caine impression. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:37 And then I went to the set, and I met Jay and Mike Myers, and they were rehearsing that scene where he does the leg splits or whatever. And I met them and talked to them for a while, and they were rehearsing that scene where he does the leg splits or whatever, and I met them and talked to them for a while, and they were like, alright, well, so let's take a look to see if you're right for this role. I was like, oh, I thought I had it right. They go, turn around. And I turned around with my back to them. They go, perfect.
Starting point is 00:18:58 Alright, you're cast. And that was when I found out that I would have my back to the camera the entire movie. And never get to say anything. Well anything well yeah an entire movie is kind of a stretch it's about 5 seconds I was in all 2 hours of that movie with my back to the camera I'm talking about me watching it why is that character always around
Starting point is 00:19:16 with his back to the camera and in some scenes there's the version of him with his back to the camera and one that's talking straight to the other characters that's bizarre that there's always a Michael Caine double in every shot. What ended up happening was they ended up using a clip from an old Michael Caine movie of the 60s. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:33 And for the front shots. I'd guess pulp. I had to guess. You don't have to. Well, it's good that I don't have to because that could have been wrong. You very well could have. Look it up in the Malton. Why would it be in the Malton?
Starting point is 00:19:49 Pulp would be in the Malton, because it's an old Michael Caine movie. Yeah, so look it up. Where it's saying, years in the future, a clip was used in Goldmember. Yes, why not? The original title of which was Octotwot. Oh, that's right. What was it? It was Octo...
Starting point is 00:20:01 Something dirtier. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was Octo... Octovagina? Gold Pussy, maybe? Golden Pussy? What was it? Something dirtier. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was Octo... Octo-vagina? Gold pussy, maybe? Golden pussy? Golden pussy? Something.
Starting point is 00:20:08 I don't remember. Something they couldn't get away with. But Goldmember was fine. Yeah. The MPAA. But you know what was cool about that movie was Jay was so nice. He was like the most beloved man of anyone on any set I've ever been on. Jay Roach, director?
Starting point is 00:20:23 Every single person rhapsodized about him. And I found out why because I'm in this basically shit role as an extra, practically. But he keeps on asking me for opinions on how to shoot the scene and for stuff to happen in the scene. What about, did he ask you
Starting point is 00:20:41 for opinions on how to fuck Susanna Hoffs from the Bengals? I wish. Because I would have. Because that's his lady. Yeah. That's why I like him. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:50 His movie's not so much, but I like that he's married to her. You don't like his movies? Meet the Fockers? Yeah. Hmm. Hmm. I did. It's not my thing.
Starting point is 00:20:58 I did a day of punch up on that. Yeah? Did you write the cat scene? No, I did not. Actually, what's funny is I went to the movie to see what made it, and zero. Oh, all the stuff you came up with didn't make it? Yeah, zero percent. They were careful not to have too many jokes in that movie. What's weird is I got the script, and I was like, boy, this needs a lot of work.
Starting point is 00:21:23 And so our punch-up session, we didn't actually pitch a lot of jokes. We were just talking about the script and why was like boy this needs a lot of work and so our punch-up session like we didn't actually pitch a lot of jokes we were just talking about the script and why it didn't work and he was like wow this is really great i usually hate punch-up sessions but this has been really informative thank you so much and then i went to see the movie and it was exactly the same and the audience loved it so what this punch-up session taught me that we have perfection and there's no reason to fuck with it the other thing he did at the punch-up session was, it was the first time I'd seen him since Austin Powers, and I'm thinking, he's not
Starting point is 00:21:50 going to remember me. And he walks in the room and goes, Hey, I remember you! And I'm stoked. And we do the entire eight-hour punch-up session, and at the end, he says, Alright, man, so maybe I'll see you again, you know. And he mimes playing basketball.
Starting point is 00:22:05 And he thought I was some dude he played basketball with. Right, somebody he plays basketball with. Or your performance as Michael Caine's back. Slam dunk. I would very gay. You fucking always nail it. I went very gay. He was either very gay or a slam dunk, yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Will that make sense on the podcast without seeing the gesture? Oh, yeah. I hope so. I described it very well. Because you can't tell the aristocrat's joke on a podcast. Right. Because you can't do this at the end. Whatever Drew Carey did with his arm, you can't do it.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Let's play Leonard Maltin. Let's do it. You want me to pick? Let me check the time. By my count, we've got eight minutes to play Leonard Maltin. That's a long time. Might be a little too long for Leonard Maltin. Do you want to talk about anything else?
Starting point is 00:22:49 Yeah, tell me. What happened? Tell me. Give me the behind-the-scenes gossip. Oh. On Shark Tale. Shark Tale, a movie I co-wrote. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:01 Not credited. I'm credited as additional writer oh okay but it didn't come up on your IMDB today IMDB IMDB
Starting point is 00:23:10 IMDB does not allow that credit in it I don't know why I've actually tried to put it in because every time you go
Starting point is 00:23:17 take a meeting with anyone they to get to know who you are before you come in they look up your IMDB page
Starting point is 00:23:23 so I've tried to put it on there so they don't think I'm lying or whatever. Right. Because I bring it up all the time. But they won't take it. I don't know why. Because it's not an official WGA credit, maybe.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Huh. Additional writer. It's weird. I mean, they take anything anybody submits for the most part. No, but I've tried to submit it a couple times. But, yeah, Shark Tale was really interesting because I got to know Jeffrey Katzenberg really well, who was a crazy little man who talks like
Starting point is 00:23:50 this all the time. And he used to call me and BJ the two fuckers. He'd go, those two fuckers! Get over here! But he had these really... I guess that's what he calls any pair of people. That's true. Or his balls. Or his pair of dicks. These two fuckers.
Starting point is 00:24:08 Wait till you meet these two fuckers. I'm gonna double dick you like you've never been double dicked. And then I wanted to say an actress's name at the end and I couldn't think of one. Barbara Stanwyck. That shithead. I'm gonna double dick you, Barbara Stanwyck, you shithead. Let's move on. Oh man, that shithead thing I'm going to double dick you, Bob Stanwyck, you shithead. Let's move on. Oh, man, that shithead thing was so much fun.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Willem Dafoe is a shithead. I swear, that's such a great bumper sticker. He'd laugh, right? You should really make them now. You should really make them, and you should make them and you should you should sell them and hopefully you would see him at some point he'd be like why do you have that or hopefully actually you'd pass them out and so many people would have them on their car and you would hear stories about it oh shit, shithead.
Starting point is 00:25:06 I didn't like that movie, American Dreams. Did you see that? Wait, what was that? Where he played the Chaney-like figure in American Dreams. Oh, no. Dreams with a Z. What? Forget it.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Let's talk about the movies. Is that the American Idol one? Yeah. Oh, okay. It was that American Idol thing that got American Idol one? yeah oh okay is that American Idol thing that got American Idol all wrong and that's like the
Starting point is 00:25:28 that's the that's the you know what I that's what the movie is like a satire about is American Idol and they just don't
Starting point is 00:25:36 it's like they didn't watch American Idol to do it it's like the punchline of American Idol movies yes and I don't mean punchline I mean punchline the movie
Starting point is 00:25:43 I know it's a tricky sentence to navigate but yeah you did it next time if you ever say it again it don't mean punchline. I mean punchline in the movie. I know it's a tricky sentence to navigate, but you did it. Next time, if you ever say it again, it's like the punchline starring Tom Hanks of American Idol movies. And Sally Field. You can't forget Sally Field. You can. People like her. They really, really like her.
Starting point is 00:25:55 They really do. Really. She's on that new show with Calista Flockhart. They don't get along, mother and daughter. You're kidding. They're at Tinterhooks or whatever that movie is. You know what movie I saw that's going to be out around this time? It's Borat. It's going to be out
Starting point is 00:26:08 while this is podcasting? Yeah, yeah. And did you like it? Oh, it's amazing. It's going to kick your... My wife! That's my Borat impression begins and ends with my wife. That's all I say. But I love saying it. My wife! It's just fun when you're
