Doug hates candy wrappers, screaming babies,
50 C's with 50 azir popcorn kernels in his teeth.
There's still not one that he won't see,
because Doug loves movies.
Hey, everybody.
My name is Doug, and I love movies.
And I love movies so much.
This is day four now of me doing Doug Loves Movies.
And just now, hearing the theme song backstage,
it was such a weird feeling, like,
am I just going to do one every day from now on?
But no, I will take a day off tomorrow and for a few days after that but for right now this is douglas movies coming to
you from the ucb theater in los angeles on tuesday september 6th two oceans 11 thank you to
at anthony dumel like like the actor that's in Life As We Know It and other shit.
He and his girlfriend, Rachel,
she doesn't have a Twitter, they gave me this shirt
the last time I was here. It says
Vegan Police on it.
I don't know what it's in reference to.
I do, actually, but thank you to them
for hooking me up
with that. And also,
Evan Glodel, who was here with
two guests that didn't allow him
to speak much,
his movie, Bellflower,
opens September 9th in Boston,
Dallas, Honolulu, Kansas City,
Washington, D.C., and then we'll be
rolling out more and more cities, and
maybe already be in your city right now.
And also you can go to grandma's cock calm for more info if you go to grandmas cock
with the D it takes you to the Douglas movies with Evan and Jeff and Jay Moore
Jeff Garlin and if but if you go to grandma's cock with two M's grandma's
cock that's that's takes you to the Bellflower site so I'm glad that
everyone was taking advantage of that hot new phrase grandma's cock I just got
back from Bumbershoot like I mentioned and the weather there was amazing the
entire time we did three Doug Loves movies and also every day Scott Aukerman
did a comedy bang bang, and
I got to participate in one of those,
and they're going to be available at Earwolf.com
for like nine bucks for all three.
And if you guys, whether you're fans of
comedy bang bang or not, I
think if you're in the UCB theater, you know that
Paul F. Tompkins and Andy Daly
playing characters on every
one of those episodes
is fucking amazing.
It's like, the one I was on,
I was just sitting there watching those two guys.
I think I was on even the best one,
but it wasn't because of me.
It was because those guys were so hilarious.
I also had a great time at Helium in Philly last Thursday.
I'll definitely be back there sometime
to tape another podcast.
The next Benson Interruption taping in L.A.
will be on Monday, September 12th at Largo.
And I'll be playing
Leonard Mullen game with audience members
at my stand-up show September 9th
at the Orpheum in Sioux Falls, September 10th
at the Rialto in Tucson, and at
Nietzsche's
in Buffalo,
Buffalo, New York, September 14th.
The Help is still the number one movie in America.
My guest
tonight...
I'm just not going to touch it anymore.
I'm just not going... I'm not going
to touch The Help, unlike...
Unlike
Dominique Strauss-Kahn.
Bam!
At least that's a different race
I was going after there, and
I believe that guy is a total creep and he should be in jail.
But whatever.
My guests tonight have all been on the show before and listeners seem to like all of them.
I know I do.
Please welcome to the stage my friends Mike Kaplan, Adam Scott, and TJ Miller. Hello
I like how you took a second
To remember that guy's name
Who touched the help
Because it is a hard name to pronounce
Well also they keep calling him DSK
And I thought I'd screw that up
I thought I'd be like
Like a murderer
ASQ
What's that?
Isn't there the BTK killer It sounds like Oh BTK killer I'd screw that up. I thought I'd be like ASQ. What's that? Isn't there the BTK killer?
Oh, BTK killer.
I never got that right.
I ordered that so many times at Burger King.
And it got me right off the top.
So yeah, let's talk about the...
We are missing a guest again.
The elephant in the room.
Mr. Scott. The elephant not in the room. Mr. Scott.
The elephant not in the room.
Right.
Yeah, Adam Scott, of course,
is working on Parks and Rec,
and it's a great show.
I love it.
The rest of us are professionals.
But this is one of those days
where apparently he was shooting late,
and he hasn't texted me,
so I don't know if that means he's on his way
or he's not on his way.
He slowly dug books, more and more busy, famous people, and becomes further and further friends from them.
So it's just like, tonight I have three guests.
It's Martin Scorsese, Elizabeth Banks, and Adam Scott.
They'll all be here maybe in the next hour or two.
I sent them DMs on Twitter, but I haven't heard back.
in the next hour or two.
I sent him DMs on Twitter,
but I haven't heard back.
But as long as I'm only missing one guest,
we know that Jordan is here
and ready to play.
Yeah, so that's my punch tonight
is if Adam Scott doesn't get here
at Leonard Moulton game time,
you gotta step up again, Jordan.
Yeah.
You're gonna be sitting
on the other end this time.
You're not gonna be right next to me
for me to coddle you like the last
time.
It was fun.
Ball in hand. Yeah, he's got the ball always.
There's people,
there was a guy, I think, at Bubbershoot
that had a ball and he'd written
not Jordan on it.
That's a weird guy
in Jordan's life.
You know, you have a guy somewhere in Seattle that's like, fuck, no, I'm not.
Not since Pang and Roozie have there been characters on this podcast from the audience
that have really captured America's heart.
So let me just ask you guys what I was going to ask Adam.
First of all, what was it like working with T.J. Miller and our idiot brother?
Terrible.
He wouldn't stop talking about his stupid beard and how he was in that film Yogi Bear Who Cares.
I had a different experience.
Mike Kaplan, everybody.
Hello.
Hi.
I just wanted to make sure to say things because last time I was here, little people,
or as I call them, littler people, talked a lot more than...
Yeah, you were on with Brad and Wee Man.
Yes.
Two of the preeminent small people in the world of entertainment.
I'm just big enough to not be them, I think.
And you witnessed a, I think there was a ball punch at one point during
their episode. Absolutely.
Those guys haven't been back on
but I'm going to have them on again
someday but it's nice to have you under power.
But in a trench coat on top of each other.
Yes, you have to pretend
to be a regular sized
That's not
the right expression.
Pretend to be normal
yeah that's
they're regular and we're super
or extra
yeah how does that mean
yeah we got super sized
they didn't I feel like they get
everyone's making fun of them because they
can't fight back I think that's so hard.
A Wee Man can fight back.
He will punch you in the balls.
Yeah.
Don't let him listen to this.
I don't think he's going to listen to this.
I don't think we have control over not having him do that.
If you guys ever see Wee Man, anybody in here, let him know to not listen to September 6th.
Whoever is listening that is constantly around Wee Man.
Prevent him. He's a famous guy. to not listen to September 6th. Whoever is listening that is constantly around Wee Man. Somebody.
Prevent him.
He's a famous guy.
Yeah, there might be somebody
who likes this and Wee Man
and is friends with Wee Man.
That's a possibility.
Not Jordan from Seattle.
And is really close enough friends
with him to be around all the time.
I'm going to follow through on this one.
I'll just wait and see
if anybody comes to me and says,
hey, Wee Man doesn't like
what you guys are saying.
What if it's me just hunched down any trench coat no i like i like that following through for you is
waiting for somebody to talk to you yeah listen i'm gonna do the follow-through on this i'm gonna
do nothing and wait and see if somebody comes to me with i'm not gonna shut my ears forever
following through is just
not changing your position.
I'm going to follow through with what I'm thinking about.
If people come up to you that you don't know, you're not going to be like,
get away, don't talk to me about Wee Man, please.
Yeah, if you start talking to me about
Wee Man, it's going to ruin it because I really
thought it would go nowhere.
Our Idiot Brother is that name
of that movie that you were in with Adam Scott, TJ.
Yes. Congratulations.
First of all, it should have been called My Three Bitch Sisters.
Because he was a pretty nice, cool dude.
Let's hope Elizabeth Banks doesn't hear that.
It's just the characters they play.
They're lovely people, probably, maybe.
No, not really.
Those three bitches.
Yeah.
My Three Bitches.
Maybe we call them My Three Sister Bitches. Whatever. My three bitches. We call my three sister bitches.
Whatever.
My point is just that
they're calling him an idiot right there in the title
and he's the nicest character
in the movie.
Well, they all think that he's an idiot because he's so optimistic
and believes in the good in people.
How many people have seen it here at the live show?
Yay!
So for the rest of you guys... okay so for the rest of you guys
for the rest of you guys tj would like to reenact the trailer
in a world where one man are you in the trailer idiot what i'm just doing the voice in the world
what about your beard in that movie was that glued was glued on. I tried to grow a real beard. And that's just not your thing?
No, it is my thing.
I grew it, but it wasn't long enough. And if you look at it, it really does
look like my real beard
if they had just waited three or four
more days. But they
didn't, so they shaved it off and put on just
a slightly bigger version of my
current beard. Do you know how much it costs
to wait a day for you to grow a beard?
They would have to pay...
Tens of thousands.
More money than you and I will make
in the next ten years.
I could make...
It costs $500,000 to wait two days.
Oh, I can't do that.
Me neither.
Maybe there's other scenes they could shoot.
I couldn't do it.
We were at the very end.
We were at the end of the show.
Oh, so you only worked a few days on it?
No, yeah, yeah.
All in one clump?
Yeah, I worked a clump of it, about a week of it.
It was upstate in New York.
It was very, very hot.
And we were on an actual organic farm
where the guys, you know, the guy grew pot and stuff.
It was so funny.
Because I'm not a very good actor,
so I've never gone up up and like hung out with
a person and be like I'm going to study your mannerisms and
become you and a character I don't do that I'm just
like hey everybody
but this
guy was like the character he
was just like this kind of bearded guy who
just smoked weed and knew everything
about farming and like tended
to chickens and shit and I would hang out
with him and be like yep yep, I'm you.
And he'd look at me and he'd be like,
I'm so high, you're me.
Was his beard real?
His beard was real.
They did not make him put on a fake beard.
It would be so weird if they did.
They're like, listen, thank you for letting us
use your farm. Sit down for a second.
You got a great beard. We're gonna shave it.
We need it to be just a little bit longer. Can TJ use your farm. Sit down for a second. You got a great beard. We're going to shave it. We need it to be just a little
bit longer. Can TJ use
your beard?
That would be terrible. He wasn't a very
hygienic man.
Also, is that what an
organic farm means? Is that they grow pot
all the time?
Certainly helps.
Did the organic farm smell worse than a regular farm?
No, I mean, it smelled about the same.
It smelled, you know, farmy, shitty.
Not so much shit. More farm.
More that specific smell.
So the farm smelled like what it was.
Yeah. Farm.
And not like something that you find at one.
Right, exactly.
It smelled like the entirety of what it smelled like.
It wasn't just a component
It was not greater than the sum of its parts
It was exactly itself
How many times a week do you get a farm conversation
That turns into a math problem?
I'll tell you about my life
About once or twice a week
TJ, did you just do
Was that me?
Were you pretending to be me?
I don't think I was pretending to be anybody.
Sometimes the older people come out to play.
Is that too weird?
Yeah.
Way too weird.
I knew that you definitely weren't me anymore
when you did that.
All right, well, I'm back.
So let's talk about...
Left for a little while there.
But Mike, the news just came out. Eddie Murphy's hosting the next Oscar. Left for a little while there.
Mike, the news just came out.
Eddie Murphy's hosting the next Oscars.
Yes.
Do you have any jokes on it yet?
Oh, no.
I don't do that.
I mean, unless you want me to.
That's not really your style, right?
No, I write things.
All the jokes that I'm writing are about stuff that happened 50 years ago, but seem like they could have happened recently.
jokes that I'm writing are about stuff that happened like 50 years ago but seemed like they could have happened recently oh so you could say like Eddie
Murphy's gonna star in 48 hours that kind of thing yeah that's exactly that
wasn't 50 years ago what are you talking about from 50 years ago not to get off
the subject of movies but oh I just talked about movies that came out 50
years ago and no I mean I actually I don't I talk talked about movies that came out 50 years ago and no I mean I
actually I don't I talk more about things that are going on in my head now
instead of things that are going on in the world around me but you make
references oh I mean certainly I think that there's a world around me that I
interact with yeah yeah so yeah I refer to those as well but uh but do you think
Eddie Murphy's a good choice for that
yeah i mean if brett ratner is a good choice was he also up for hosting the authors he's directing
it yeah he's directing it and the story is that eddie murphy's the only person that he submitted
as being the host and that eddie murphy then said yes and so they're doing it. The bank heist,
tower heist, formerly Trump
heist, it looks good to me.
Eddie Murphy looks like he's funny in it.
Could be a return to form.
It was a very good script.
It was one of those scripts that bounced around for a while as a top ten script.
I met with Ratner
about that script. He is amazing.
Have you met him?
Now,
maybe we have a different take on the word amazing.
Like in what about him is amazing specifically.
No, I have not met him.
Just like going to his home and being around him is crazy.
Because he's like a ball of energy.
He's like a huge, giant, insane presence. The second time he used crazy and insane instead of amazing.
So, yeah.
I think crazy is amazing.
Well, that's the thing.
Everything that you like, you describe with words that someone might misconstrue.
You know what I mean?
You have a lot of the kind of hip-hop lingo at your disposal.
I do have it at my disposal.
That is often the opposite. You have your own actual hip-hop lingo at your disposal. I do have it at my disposal. That is often the opposite.
Like, you have your own
actual hip-hop record coming out.
I do.
I have a...
Well, it's hip-hop, pop,
and folk music.
Finally.
Yeah.
Well, they're not...
It's not like a fusion,
but there's sort of
samplings of each genre.
And there's also
some audio sketches on it.
Yeah, the extended play EP.
Have you guys heard about it or no?
Did anyone hear about it? Not really?
I'm telling you now, there are a few people who heard about it.
It's coming out
September 13th. You can pre-order
it on Amazon. It's 41 tracks.
It's a debut 41 track album.
I thought you were going to say $41.
No, no. It's only $9.
It's a dollar a track.
It's 41 tracks.
You normally have a dollar a track.
And when you say 41 tracks, though, I know one of those is me talking for like 20 seconds.
This is it.
There it is.
There it is.
Thank you.
I'm giving away, for reals, the first.
I don't even have one.
I'm giving away the first copy of it to someone in the audience.
It's going to have, they'll see all the cover art of me.
Is this the first time you're seeing a physical copy of it?
Yeah, I've never seen a physical copy of it before.
This is an exciting moment.
It is really exciting.
It's so weird that I ever made it.
Yeah, pull the little booklet out.
Let's see who you thanked.
Wow, there really are 41 tracks.
41 tracks.
And a bitch ain't one.
No, no, actually track 38 is a bitch.
A bitch is one of the tracks, yeah.
There we go.
Now, there's such things as Appleton,
which is a track about how Appleton
is the hardest city in Wisconsin.
Track 10 is Dr. Doherty,
which is about my eye surgeon here in Los Angeles. Balsa 10 is Dr. Doherty, which is about my eye surgeon
here in Los Angeles.
Balsa Wood is one.
Balsa Wood is the final track.
What's that about?
Is that about Balsa Wood?
You nailed it on the head.
It's the hardest wood.
Sad around,
but I have, you know,
guest stars Bo Burnham,
Ugly Duckling,
which is a great hip-hop group.
Doug Benson is in it. he has a special appearance what's my track number track number 14 and it truly is i
would say it is one of the funniest parts of the entire album because there's there's some audio
sketches and those are improvised and he he improvised he just came in and he's very particular
so he's like i i just want to come in i to do this god damn thing and then leave and I was like
absolutely sir
that's particular?
other people are like what I want to do is
I want to come by
stick around for a few days
maybe do a thing
and he came in and he
improvised one
like a voicemail and it was so funny
and we were like I think that's it
do you want to do another one?
He's like,
yeah,
just let me do one more
and then he improvised
something twice as funny
as the thing
he just improvised
and it was almost
like easy.
He just might as well
have thrown down the mic
and been like,
bitch,
and then left
because it was amazing.
So that's really,
really funny.
That was the track
that a bitch was on.
Yes.
Don't listen to track 14
for like a few months
because after that buildup it's certainly going to be disappointing. a few months, because after that build-up, it's
certainly going to be disappointing.
It's awesome. I really like it. But I encourage people
to buy the whole album, because I lost a lot
of money making it, because I'm not a musician
and I don't know why I did it.
To be honest with you.
But I did lose an immense amount of
money making it.
Comedy Central was like, here's this money.
And I was like, good. Those cover the first
three tracks because it's all real music
produced by this really great guy in Chicago
who works at Second City, Jesse Case.
And it's got some great
stuff. Track 15, Cloverfield Secrets.
Where I tell a series of Cloverfield
secrets from the film. Now we're back to movies.
Can you give us an example?
I mean, you gotta buy the album, but let me just say
I explain how the
Togarot is. Let's say I'm not interested in actually knowing
any of the secrets. The Togarot
is satellite. I explain that. Are they the kind
of secrets that ruin it for everybody?
For Cloverfield? Yeah. No, one of them is
about how I'd like to be better friends with Mike Vogel.
Slide that down here. There it is.
There it is, everybody everybody sorry to talk about it
so much but I hope
you guys like it
somebody's gonna win it
and what's it called
the extended play
extended play EP
that's funny because
extended play is what
EP stands for
yeah we thought about
having a sticker that
said that in the front
but we figured people
got it
I don't think everyone
gets it
what do you guys think
that's why I shared
you got it
he's like 30 for deep
that guy's everyone, so.
He's here to represent.
Have you guys been to the movies lately?
Yes.
I have.
I saw 30 Minutes or Less.
That's another weird audience choice.
What did happen?
Somebody was like,
ugh.
Like somebody had been like,
hold your breath just a little bit
until somebody talks about 30 minutes or less.
And she was like,
my breath escapes me finally.
That was the air she had breathed into laugh
and it never came out.
Did you guys see it? You liked it?
I didn't see it.
I saw it. I'm friends with some of those dudes
and I enjoyed seeing them.
I enjoyed seeing Nick with a flamethrower.
Yeah, I thought Swordsman was great.
I just didn't know. I thought the movie
didn't really click. I didn't love the movie.
But you're friends with him.
Yeah, I'm friends with Nick. I thought he was very funny
and I've met Danny McBride. I think he's very nice. Do you stop being with people? Yeah, I'm friends with Nick. I thought he was very funny. And I've met Danny McBride.
I think he's very nice.
Do you stop being with people when they stop being funny?
Do I stop what?
Do you stop being friends with people?
Yeah, for sure.
Okay.
Definitely.
Are we friends?
What's that?
Not anymore.
That was it right there.
What have you seen, Mike?
I just saw Columbiana.
Ooh.
Ooh.
I was so excited about
that from the trailer, and then
all the wind got knocked out of my sails with the
terrible reviews.
I didn't get tricked by the
trailer. I saw the trailer
and I was like, this will probably be bad, and then
the reviews came out and they were like, even worse,
and I was like, okay, now it's time to go see it.
It's a weird
sort of system. If you expect something to be it's time to go see it. It's a weird sort of system.
If you expect something to be the worst and you go see it,
then it'll mostly be better because only one thing can be the worst.
I just didn't want to be like sitting there by myself.
That's dropping knowledge.
Oh, hey, there he is.
Get on up here. Oh, you made it.
You old pile of tricks.
Why have you left me?
Why did you do this? Why would you say that? Jordan's breathing a sigh of relief over there he was going to have to fill in for you
if you didn't make it
thanks for rushing over from the set
yeah sure
I was just driving
from there
and I thought
you know what would be a cool experience in this weather
is to roll down all of the windows in the car and drive on the freeway?
And that's what I did, and it wasn't that great.
What about it was different than what you had anticipated?
Did a bird fly in?
He thought his hair would look different when he got here.
I thought my hair would look a lot cooler.
Passive motivation.
For people at home, it looks real cool.
But it also looks like all the windows are down.
Yeah.
This is a true story.
I'm Mike.
Hello.
Hey, Mike.
Oh, you guys haven't met before.
Adam Scott, Mike Kaplan.
I really like the things that you've done that I've seen.
I like the things you're doing right now.
Thank you.
You know, I do.
You were telling me.
And I like greetings on podcasts.
I like seeing people meet on a podcast.
Listeners at home, this is what it sounds like to meet someone for the first time.
Practice yours for new strangers.
New strangers, everybody. Just new strangers. New strangers, everybody.
Just new strangers.
I gotcha.
Are we friends again?
I've known you for a long time
and you always feel
like a stranger.
It's true.
We never hang out on purpose.
We need to.
Yeah.
Then we can become friends.
Yeah.
It was 20 minutes
of this, Adam,
before you got here. Somehow we can become friends. Yeah. It was 20 minutes of this, Adam, before you got here.
But somehow we're back to it already.
So, have you seen
Columbiana? That's what we were talking about
when you came in. No, is it like a
lame version of
Hannah? It's like Hannah
if she were an adult and
you were allowed to find her hot.
I thought it...
Because that girl who played Hannah,
she's got some lovely bones.
All right.
Because you're clever doesn't mean you can be a pedophile.
I'm going to have to atonement for that one.
Her whole goddamn filmography.
Boom, boom, and pow.
I'm probably being really
cocky about the most useless skill.
I said
all of the words and puns
that were her movies. Take that,
bitch.
Ah, Doug, I could never be your woman.
That's
another one of her movies. What? Yeah, I could never be your woman. That's another one of our movies.
What?
Yeah, I could never be your woman.
Thank you very much.
Yes, it is.
Wow.
Which you saw. She just disappeared after she said that.
That was so weird.
You're right, Adam.
No one will prove it.
But you saw that movie because Paul Rudd is in it.
Yeah, well, it was on...
Opposite Michelle Pfeiffer.
It was on TV recently, so I saw it.
Yeah, yeah.
And that girl is in it.
She's the little girl in it.
She was like a, you know, a zygote in it.
She was very young.
Meaning she was really young.
Yeah.
Yeah, I didn't recognize her because I, you know, she was...
What would the more offensive version of Zygo mean?
Like people were unclear.
Zyga.
Sounds like a racial slur when you do it.
That would be the more offensive version of Zyga.
All you did to make it offensive was just toss it off.
He looked around.
Now like a weird version of the newlywed game,
without TJ saying anything,
I'm going to ask,
earlier I asked TJ what he would say,
you would say about working with him
on Our Idiot Brother.
So now tell us what your thoughts
about working with TJ
and we'll see if they match up.
Well, we didn't work together.
See, TJ did not say that.
That's a lot.
This is exactly what happens on the Newlywed Game.
Okay, you guys, it's true.
It was Chris Pat and a beard.
I wasn't even in Our Idiot Brother.
But you don't have any scenes together.
No.
Because he's out at the shit farm,
and you never go out there for any
reason.
What did you say
I would say?
Just that I was difficult to work with.
Complaining about his beard, his glue-on beard.
And then also that I would
assert that I had worked with you and I hadn't.
I said
that you would say that too.
I would never say that
he was telling us
about when you guys
did Piranha 3D
together
yeah
what a blast
that was
it's so weird
it seems like
you were in that movie
why does it seem
like you were
in that movie
it was just
sort of my
whole aesthetic
you know
TJ's a 3D guy
yeah
and of course
he was in
Carpoolers
With Jerry O'Connell
So you've seen them together
Yeah
Alright
I don't know
That you've seen us together
That seems weird
Also
Columbiana
The girl
Isn't a girl
For a while
In the movie too
So if you are a pedophile
You can enjoy that
You mean
Wait
She's little for a while
Yeah yeah yeah
And then she grows up into Zoe Saldana.
Correct.
That's what I was just going to say,
is that I wanted to go see that because she's hot,
and I want to see a hot girl kicking people in the face.
Oh, yeah.
But I'd end up going alone and sitting amongst a bunch of other dudes
that have the same agenda, and then it just gets creepy.
I went with a guy.
Nice.
Did you have that extra seat
in between you?
You know,
I've never done that
in my life,
but we went,
it was another comedian,
Nate Bargetzi,
do you know him?
Yeah, I know.
Nate Bargetzi.
I want to meet him
on this podcast.
We were in,
we were both performing
in Minneapolis.
We met at the Mall of America
where he was performing
and then we went to the movie theater there.
We went into the theater.
It was mostly empty.
We sat in a row.
And I was like, oh, do you want me to move over one more?
Because I wanted him to have the option of being further into the middle.
And he was like, yeah, why don't we do that?
And I moved over one more.
And then he put his stuff there and stayed one seat away.
He kept the buffer seat in between, which I like sitting next to people.
Plus, when you want to talk to each other
with the buffer seat, you have to lean in so far
that everyone sitting behind you thinks you're kissing.
Yeah.
So it totally negates the whole point.
And when you're kissing, it looks like you're talking.
The opposite problem.
All right, we've got to play the Leonard Maltin game, you guys.
We're way behind schedule.
We've got to play the Leonard Maltin game, you guys. We're way behind schedule. We've got to get on this.
So could you all, gentlemen, please pick a name tag you'd like to play for
and bring it back to your seat.
You can go ahead and stand up.
It'll be the first step.
I feel like I haven't earned this.
Actually walk over there and take something from somebody?
Yeah, go get it.
I always pick ones from the very front.
So I'm going to go to the back and pick one.
All right. Adam's going to the back and pick one. All right.
Adam's going to the back, you guys.
I'm going to see where Adam and Mike go
so that I can choose from a sector that has yet to be picked from.
There's a Logan's Run.
Is your name Logan?
Awesome.
I think it's got to be from over here.
I took one that came with Weird Al's new album.
Does he get to keep Weird Al's new album?
Whoever did that?
No?
Oh, then I don't pick this one.
Okay.
I'll do it.
I like it over here.
I like that one right there.
He made it.
His name's Tony, so he made it Tonypocalypse instead of Alpocalypse.
Did you do that on purpose?
Good work.
You did two posts.
Underneath it's Post-It-pocalypse.
It's Post-It-pocalyptic, everybody.
Oh, it looks like Adam got a new iPad
I got a free iPad out of the deal
It's Gino with a little heart over the A
Because you know how you dot your A's
Look what I got
Should we go through Gino's contacts?
I got the weirdest
He got, is that Jeff Goldblum?
It looks like him
And it says I love Kevi.
Kevin without the N.
So what is that?
Kevi?
I don't understand any of it.
Is it Kevi or Kevi?
It's Kevi.
And so your name is I love Kevi?
That's a weird name.
Doesn't even have any hyphens.
I call bullshit all one word.
First, middle, last name. First word first middle last name first of all
loves it so Adam's playing for Gina your TJ's playing for Kevi who likes Jeff
Goldblum and thought that would catch our eye and then and that's the weirdest
part is it did they work I was more enticed by the fact that Jeff Goldblum
looks like he's holding rubber bands that are hanging the I Love Kevvy sign.
Artistically, it's very creative.
If only you could see it at home.
It's breathtaking.
And the winner gets all of these.
Why don't you twit-tick it?
And you're playing...
Mike is playing for Tonypocalypse.
That photo of Jeff Goldblum
was taken while
he was shooting Morning Glory
yeah?
I didn't even know he was in Morning Glory
with Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton
no
alright
you can't see it but Adam's kind of appraising it
like a piece of jewelry
yeah that's Morning Glory
for sure
2009 Morning Glory. Yeah, for sure. Let me get my microphone. 2009 Morning Glory publicity.
Here's what we're playing for.
We're playing for Mike Kaplan's CD,
Vegan Mind Meld.
We're playing for new from AST Records.
Baron Vaughn has a new CD called Raised by Cable.
Yeah.
TJ Miller has some CD.
Who the fuck knows why it is?
Why it happened? No, it's called the Extended
Play EP and it
drops on Friday.
The same day this podcast comes out.
September 13th. Let's do it. Podcast
plops. His CD drops.
I also got David Huntsberger gave me a copy
of his CD. A lot of comedy CDs.
Humanitis and then my CD, Professional Humoridian.
And of course, there's got to be a Woot Monkey involved.
And also a t-shirt.
It's a small-sized t-shirt, but it's the Walking Dead TV series.
I got that at Comic-Con or something, somewhere.
All right, so let me get this Woot Monkey into the crowd.
And we've got to get this game going.
We're running.
this Wooten Monkey into the crowd,
and we gotta get this game going.
We're running... And let's play the Winter Mold Game.
Yeah!
Hooray!
Hooray for clapping!
Oh, you know what?
Adam brought something, too.
Oh, I almost forgot.
A backpack.
A backpack.
It's full of all of his stuff.
And the clothes that he's wearing.
I brought this that came out today.
What?
Parks and Recreation Season 3!
Oh my God.
I'm just going to hang on to this.
I want to win.
I'm just going to hang on to this.
Doug.
Doug. Doug.
You know what?
Did you have your picture taken for this cover right after having all the windows down?
Because it's really the same look.
Yeah.
It's the way I get to photo shoots.
I drive on the 101.
Do you like the windows down?
So anyway, it's Parks and Rec Season 3.
I should say it out loud into the microphone on DVD.
And so that's a really awesome prize.
I'm going to go ahead and get rid of all this other shit and just give that away.
No, everybody gave some great stuff, and somebody's going to win it all.
Either Tony, Apocalypse, Kevi, or Gina.
We'll start with you.
Down here on this end, Mike Kaplan.
All right.
You get to pick a category.
Would you like at RIPA TransZone suggested UCBs,
I assume in honor of UCB Theater.
What does that mean?
UCBs means movies where a B or more, one or more bees.
Oh, where you see the letter bees.
Plays a prominent part in the plot of the movie.
Not the animal bee, the letter bee.
No, the animal bee.
Yeah, okay, my bad.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
My bee.
Do we have someone quibbling about whether it's an animal or an insect?
Insects are animals.
Do we have someone quibbling about whether it's an animal or an insect?
Insects are animals.
Looks like you just got quibble smacked, motherfucker. Oh my God.
I feel like I just watched Tree of Life again.
I haven't even seen it once.
Oh, don't knock over the...
No, that was my fault.
What a clod.
Oh, jeez, TJ.
Oh, fuck.
I hope I didn't fall asleep. Oh, that's a better picture. There, geez, TJ. Oh, fuck. I hope I didn't fall asleep.
Oh, that's a better picture.
There, now it's cute.
All right, now it's her and her kid.
Maybe she should have done something.
Now you're getting her the sense of the book.
Not so lazy.
Maybe she should have just drawn on her iPad,
and maybe she should have gotten some Jeff Goldblum pictures.
Gina, is that you?
Yes.
Is that your daughter?
No, it's my niece.
Your niece?
What's her name?
Sophia. Sophia. That her name? Sophia.
Sophia. That's Gina and Sophia.
Would you like me to unlock your iPad?
Hey, the last girl that had this happen.
That's right.
I just want you to know, should we go further?
She's dead somewhere in a park.
And it wasn't recreation.
Go to hell! Give him hell!
TJ,
you're just as good as Doug at doing things with
words.
And he's especially good at
doing them when I have to get through this game
in the remaining eight minutes.
The entire game. So,
take your riff gun and put it in the holster.
What are the other, What's the other choice?
In theaters now or it's
celebrating a birthday today, Idris Elba.
Elba. I want to do
in theaters now. Okay.
This movie's in theaters now.
Leonard doesn't give it any particular amount of stars
because that's how he is.
I'm going to have to ask him about that.
I think he did explain it once
and it didn't make any sense to me but he writes an extra long review and he says about this one he
says uh sometimes a film seems to have everything going for it and still comes up short too such is
the case with this movie lumbiana it's got everything going for it. That had a lot going for it.
And it also says none of this is the fault
of the actors
who do excellent work.
Okay.
You think you know it already?
Yeah.
Wow.
But you get
nine names if you want.
Okay.
But you can bid
zero names
and just name it
if you...
I'll do zero names.
I mean,
and not...
Sorry.
And not just name it.
We have to go to TJ
who can either go
negative names
or say name it.
Also thanks for clapping.
I've not done anything.
It's pretty impressive.
If they're clapping
bravado
it's courageous.
I'm going to say
name that movie.
Alright what is it?
The Debt.
That's correct.
That's correct.
You got it.
Palomiram. That's correct. Whoa! You got it. Calamirum.
Nicely done.
Mike Kaplan.
Nate Bargetzi and I considered going to see that,
and then I looked up what people said about it.
I said it had everything going for it.
They were like, these actors are great,
but you're not going to like this movie.
Let's go see the hotter version,
Columbiana.
That's what we did.
All right.
Well, that worked out great for you.
See, you got one point
because you knew about a movie
that was in theaters now.
And TJ's challenged you,
so now we're going to start with Adam.
I'm just glad that wasn't a review
for our idiot brother.
Oh, yeah, that would be really bad
if we had to guess our own movie
and it was like zero stars, fuck these guys.
Specifically.
He doesn't do star ratings for your curtain.
TJ doesn't listen.
All right, so your three categories
that you get to pick between Adam Scott
would be summer blockbusters.
Those are blockbusters
that came out
in the summer.
Hold Me,
which is movies
that have a hostage situation.
And
at the Bobby Lester
suggested
faux real,
faux F-A-U-X.
So it's movies
that are
based on actual
things that happened.
I'll take summer blockbusters.
All right. This summer blockbuster Blockbusters. All right.
This Summer Blockbuster is from 1986.
Leonard Maltin gives it two and a half stars.
He says about this movie that one character who's not the lead steals the show,
and he also says that the movie won an Oscar for best song from 1986 two and a half stars
there's 13 names how many names you think you can get it in Adam I'll say
seven all right now we go to TJ because we switch the order each time. It's very confusing.
I'll say name that movie.
How many names does he get?
Seven.
Out of 13? All right.
Let me just tell you that he's probably going to get it.
But let's play it and see what happens.
You want the clues again, Adam?
No.
Okay, here we go.
Adrian Pasdar, Meg Ryan, James Tolkien, Tim Robbins,
Rick Rosovich, Barry Tubb.
Big Rick Rosovich fan over there.
Oh!
Oh!
He was so good as the fireman in Roxanne.
I think that's that guy.
Anyway.
Anyway, those are your six names, I think.
He gets one more.
Oh, one more.
Damn it.
John Stockwell.
This is a summer blockbuster from... 1986.
Top Gun.
That's correct.
That's correct.
PJ. What? Top Gun. That's correct. TJ.
You're killing me here.
What's the matter?
I had a chance to win.
Well, you still have a chance to win.
I don't know anything.
I'm very good at this game.
I don't know if you guys listen to the podcast.
Adam's got a point.
And Mike's got a point.
And TJ is here to spoil it for one of them.
That's the way I see it.
What just happened there?
Adam won.
Who made him name it?
Oh, you did.
So we start with Mike.
All right.
The debt.
And then again, we'll go to TJ.
Have we done decapitations yet today?
No.
Okay.
Movies that have a decapitation in them.
Or yesterday was Michael Keaton's birthday, so the films of Michael Keaton.
And similarly, at Michael underscore or Malcolm underscore Irvin suggested Opie or Meathead.
That's movies directed by Ron Howard or Rob Reiner.
I'll do the middle one.
And Malcolm underscore Irvin, he sent that from Manila.
Oh, then that one.
That's not a reason to pick it.
Which one did you want?
No, I'll do the one from Manila.
Okay.
He sent it all the way from Manila.
I mean, it was still over the internet,
so it didn't take that much extra effort,
but I was still excited that someone in Manila
is listening to the podcast.
It does take a while from Manila.
Oh, okay.
Three stars, Leonard gives this movie that's, what was the category again?
Opium Meathead.
Both animals, everybody.
He gives it three stars, this movie, directed by Opium Meathead.
He says that it has colorful detail and that
Wow.
What year? Oh, sorry. 2005.
Oh, he calls it rousing.
That's a good one. Rousing.
And it has colorful detail.
And it's
directed by one of those dudes and
there's
eight names listed
How many names do you get in
Mike Kaplan?
Eight names
Is that a lot?
Yes it is
It's a strong opening date
T.J. Miller
Seven names
Seven names If you can hear me at home seven names.
Seven names.
If you can hear me at home,
I'm being forced to play this game over and over again
for my freedom
for something terrible I did during
Yogi Bear 3D.
I saw Yogi Bear again
since the last time I saw you.
Last time I saw TJ, I told him I've seen Yogi Bear probably six times.
And that was only like two weeks ago.
Yogi Bear 18D.
I can say seven names?
You said seven, yes.
I'll go three.
Whoa.
Three names.
Thank God.
I tell him to name that movie.
All right, you get three names.
This is for...
Either way, we're going to have a winner, TJ.
So you're going to have some sweet relief
any second now.
Looking at you, Adam.
Look out, everybody.
I know you are.
Looking for that sweet, sweet relief.
I'll be waiting.
It's rousing, according to Leonard. It'll be waiting. It's rousing,
according to Leonard.
It roused him.
He got some sweet relief
as well.
But he only gave it
three stars, though.
2005.
And he also says
that it had
colorful detail,
which is a weird way
of putting that.
It's in color.
Yeah, it's in color.
Little bonus clue.
It's in color. And your three's in color. Little bonus clue, it's in color.
And your three names are
Rosemary DeWitt,
Ron Canada,
and Bruce McGill.
And it was directed by either
Opie or Meathead.
Is it Cinderella Man?
That's correct.
Yes!
Whoa!
Sweet Relief!
Woo!
Sweet, sweet. Scott relief.
Scott free.
I should have done negative names.
I could have gotten into the tournament of champions.
You know, TJ, when I yelled
at you about going over
time and the possibility of it,
I had no idea
that these guys are going to be so great at this game.
They were so great.
We would make it.
It was very tense, but we did it.
I'm so happy.
I've never been so happy.
Did Gina...
Where is Gina?
Did Gina win?
That's it. You got the two points.
Where's Gina?
Way back there. All right. You got the two points. Gina! Where's Gina? Oh, way back there.
All right.
She wins an iPad also.
Can you give both those things to her?
Thank you, Adam.
Her own iPad back.
And then where are my friends Tony and Kevi?
We've got to get you to come over here,
and I'll have you write down.
You can have your Alpocalypse back.
Kevi, come on up.
Everybody, if you're in Los Angeles,
we have a bi-weekly show at the Pleasure Chest,
which is a weird sex shop on Santa Monica.
And if you guys want to come and see it,
it's 8 o'clock every other Tuesday.
When's the next one?
This Tuesday.
The week from today on the 13th.
Let's call it the 13th.
The 13th.
That's called the 13th of September.
It's a show at, it's called Pleasure Chest.
The Pleasure Chest on Santa Monica.
Santa Monica.
Good work.
Good work remembering, TJ.
What's that?
Good work remembering to say it.
Thank you.
We talked about it last night.
And he would like you to, Tony would like you to hold this up when I take a picture of you guys at the end of the show.
Okay.
It's very important.
I understand.
I understand it as well.
He did great work there with that post-it.
He should be rewarded for his strong work ethic.
And Adam Parks
and Rec returns
to NBC on, I believe, around
September 22, something like that?
That's exactly right, Doug.
Congratulations
on getting that date correct.
Yeah, thank you. Congrats Doug on getting that date correct yeah thank you congrats Doug on getting that
date right
I started second guessing myself and then
Mike what do you got anything coming up that
you'd like people to know about come see you somewhere
I just taped a late show
with Craig Ferguson yesterday and
it airs TBD
so oh yeah cause they just bank them and then they
just throw it into a show. Really?
I didn't know they did that. They do that on that show.
Not the other ones. No, that's the only one.
It's the only magical show that
works for this kind of plug.
That I did it already.
Yeah, so just watch Craig Ferguson every night
until you see Mike.
Go to my website and it'll tell it
when it knows. Oh, yeah, and I did it too
so look for mine. Look for my episode.
Did you? No. Okay.
Just saying, anybody could say that.
I did it.
But when you finally show up, people will be so satisfied.
Adam just did it just now.
Did you have fun doing it? It looks like it'd be fun to sit and
talk to him. Yeah, on the way
home from it,
I drove home with all the windows
down.
That's like
a terrible thing. That was your only
anecdote everywhere
you went, every show. I did not do it.
I thought it would be funny if I... I think Mike should be recognized
for doing it. Oh, thank you.
Alright. I drove there with the
windows up to keep my hair
looking appropriate.
Yours looks good the way it is.
Thanks, Mike.
Everybody's different.
I'm taping Benson Interruption and Doug Lowe's Movies Podcast
at the Gramercy Theater in New York City on October 23rd,
and all my tour dates are at DougLowe'sMovies.com.
One more time for my guest, Adam Scott, who made it here.
Good to see you.
He made it.
Thank you.
TJ Miller.
Yes, thank you for having me.
See our film already.
My brother.
His new extended play EP

It's dropped.
It's dropped.
By the time you're listening to this,
it's dropped.
And Mike Kaplan, everybody.
Thanks, guys. Thanks, guys.
Thanks, tall people.
Let me get a picture of you guys right after I say this.
As always, Clive Barker is a shithead.
Take it, Clive.
And Captain EO is a shithead.
Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie.
Eyes of old, his viewing prowess makes him cocky.
There's no room in his heart for you,
cause Doug loves movies!
