Doug hates candy wrappers, skinny babies, sticky seats
With 50-azit pop-up kernels in his teeth
There's still not far that he won't see
Cause Doug loves movies
Hey everybody
My name is Doug
And I love movies
And I love fighting the drizzle
To get here
And that the place is packed
Thank you so much you guys
Because it was supposed to rain tonight
And like I saw you
I watch you from afar
and there were there were umbrellas in the early times you know around 6 20 but by seven everyone
was standing and happy and every every single person got in so i'm very very excited about that
some people got to see some sort of showcase for something that was happening before this
that i don't know enough about to continue speaking on.
We're coming to you.
This is Doug Lowe's Movies.
Did I say that?
Yeah, have a seat.
I'm the world's angriest owner.
This is Doug Lowe's Movies
coming to you from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles
on Tuesday, February 7th to Ocean's Eleven.
in Los Angeles on Tuesday, February 7th to Ocean's Eleven.
I even wrote
Eleven this time.
The last two times I got it wrong,
I had written it
correctly, and this time I just
flat out wrote it wrong.
Let me fix that.
Back up the tape.
Back up the tape.
Here we go.
I could totally fix every mistake I make in editing,
but I leave them in because, you know,
I do want to be president someday.
I don't know why I said that.
Speaking of political shit,
at PodDrops on Twitter today wrote something that cracked me up based on
the fact that it was sort of based on
listening to this show. He wrote
Court rejects Prop 8
Hashtag Go
Homo.
That's a pretty
good one. The guy went topical and
came up with one of those. If you haven't
heard the episode
from Sketchfest in San Francisco,
go back and listen to it.
That will then become either funnier or...
No, I'm over it.
I don't need any more of those.
Thanks to everyone who came to my shows in Portland and Vegas.
I'll be back at Helium in Portland
to tape two episodes of Doug Loves Movies
on April 13th and 14th at 420. Different guests each day
during the Bridgetown
Comedy Festival. And I'll be back
to Vegas ASAP
probably July-ish.
Always a good time.
And I've got something
I planned something for Chicago
that people might enjoy.
On Tuesday, April 24th, I'm doing a
stand-up show at Zany's
with special guests.
Guests or guests, we'll see.
And then some Leonard Maltin game
at the end of the show
against audience members.
And then the winner,
the person who can beat my featured guest
at the Leonard Maltin game in one round,
will then be an additional guest on Douglas Movies,
taping at Zany's on that Sunday, April 29th.
So get your name tags ready, Chicago.
Now it's time for Watch This, Not That.
The number one movie in the country is Chronicle,
which is not for emetophobes or anyone easily nauseated by handheld camera work.
It's got some pretty cool sequences
and is the best
found footage movie ever made.
Not a compliment.
And then
they nailed the found footage
genre. Let's bury it.
Let's fucking go ahead and make a sequel
and just make it a movie where you tell us a story.
Where we watch us a story.
Where we watch and a story is being told through cinema.
I don't need
every ten seconds. Well, the reason we're filming
we have a camera because
oh, that movie. Okay, so number two
I still
kind of liked it. Number two is
number two is
Women in Black, which is not
a Men in Black spinoff
starring Jada Pinkett Smith
which would be
the worst thing
ever made
it is
I don't know
why I hate her so much
she's not a bad actress
I just
just hate her
so watch
because it made me
think of Jada Pinkett Smith
Watch Chronicle
I mean don't watch Women in Black
Watch Chronicle not Women in Black
This has been Watch This Not That
Yeah thank you
Vancouver
Heads up
Comedy festival issues
Apparently the venue that I was going to do Doug Love's movies in
And several other shows at the Vancouver Comedy Festival
So they had
like a punk rock show a couple
nights ago or whenever and there was
you know, fire laws were broken
or something. I probably shouldn't even be sharing
any of this. Somebody's going to get pissed at me.
But basically, this whole venue
pulled out of the festival. So now the festival
has to find other venues for
all of our shows. And my show times were
wacky so it's going to be hard to reschedule.
So my point is, if you're in Vancouver listening to this,
if you're in Vancouver,
check the listings and double-check,
especially if you already have tickets.
If you don't have tickets, what?
Go ahead and go get tickets.
And I apologize for whatever changes are going to happen
I think like the 7 o'clock show is going to be at midnight
and the 420 show is going to stay at 420
it's terribly confusing
did the 420 show move dude?
no just the 7 o'clock one moved to midnight
what about the 420 show dude?
hey everybody producer Ryan here.
Just wanted to confirm that the Doug Loves Movies tapings
during the Vancouver Comedy Festival
will happen as scheduled at the Tom Lee Music Hall
at 7 p.m. Friday, February 17th
and 420 p.m. Saturday, February 18th.
Back to the show.
And also, quick heads up to London, England.
I'll be hanging out there this weekend with no particular plans the show. And also, quick heads up to London, England. I'll be hanging out there this weekend
with no particular plans or show.
By the time this plops,
I will have taped Morgan Spurlock's New Britannia,
a show where he invites an American to come
and be stupid in front of some British people.
And, yeah, and he signed me up.
So I'm flying to London tomorrow
and then taping it on Thursday night.
And so again, by the time you hear this,
I will have done that,
but then have the rest of the weekend
just hang out in England.
So hit me up.
Let's meet for a pint.
Oh God, have I covered everything? Jesus
What a complicated opening
This is like getting through the first
10 minutes of Marc Maron
So
And I say that
Entirely out of love because it's
That's my favorite part.
Who else loves the first 10 minutes of Mark Manning?
It's something about it.
He's just talking to you about what's about to happen.
I kind of want to do that on my show.
I want to be like the next day.
Oh man, last night, I didn't think I would ever get to talk
while, you know, fill in the blank of your favorite over-talker.
Who's the biggest over-talker? It's probably
Jeff Garlin, right?
Alright.
That was not
what I was looking for.
Please welcome
first of all, I'm going to bring out two
people who are a father and son team
who entered the Santa Size Me
competition on YouTube
last year,
and they are the winners.
Please welcome, I didn't even check with them
to make sure I'm spelling their last name correctly.
Please welcome Tom and Jeff
Levac.
Levacs.
The Levacs are here.
Interesting positioning.
You made it so there'll be other guests
on either side of you.
Very smart.
Way to force bonding on them.
Congratulations, you guys.
Hey, yeah, grab a microphone there.
This is Jeff, everybody.
Say hi into your microphone.
Hello into your microphone.
Like, when comedians are on, it drives me crazy
that sometimes they don't talk into their microphones.
Right, Jordan?
But these guys, I'm going to cut some slack.
I'm going to warn you, like, three or four times.
And then I'm going to lose my shit.
So, yeah, just talk into your microphone
whenever you talk.
And then Tom is the father of Jeff.
That would be me.
And you guys made this trailer together.
Yeah.
On what kind of budget?
Because it's strangely impressive.
We didn't want to count
how much money we spent on it,
but a lot of cookies.
A lot of cookies.
Yeah, you had to buy a lot of cookies
because just real quickly for the audience if you don't know santa size me trailers were about how
morgan spurlock should make a movie where he proves that you can't eat the amount of cookies
that santa claus has to eat over the course of one night over the entire world and so i said that
you know i said that joke and i said but make trailer, a fake trailer for that movie, and put it on YouTube, and then I'll pick the best one, and those people will be a guest on the show.
And then I ran into you guys.
Prior to that, I ran into you.
Or during it?
It was actually before you announced it.
Before I announced it.
But you were already planning to come out here.
Yeah, we told you that we wanted to come out.
Yeah.
And then when we heard You announced the contest
I immediately called them up
And I said
We're going to do it
And then they won it
But we met at the Go Bananas in Cincinnati
And yeah
I'm not as dumb as I often am
And
So congrats on winning
Part of your prize was you get to choose the other guests that get to come out here.
And I won't mess around with what's in the prize bag.
They all brought awesome stuff.
But please welcome, as per request of the LeVacs, am I pronouncing it right?
Yeah.
Ben Schwartz, TJ Miller, and Paul F. Tompkins.
Whoever you want, man Wherever you want
Paul generally sits to my left
I told you guys
it was going to be good.
They asked for only,
I think they asked,
they mentioned six people
and out of the six people
they named,
three said yes.
Who said no?
Who said no?
Who's an ass?
Nick Kroll couldn't make it?
Boo,
he would have sucked anyway.
I'll do all his material.
He's a dumb sketch comedy show.
Your sister, Sarah Silverman
couldn't make it
because she was at a funeral.
That is a shame.
Movie reference.
Everyone here is like
she would have been better.
No.
That's what we think.
They weren't disappointed
with Nick Kroll.
Now they're disappointed
with Sarah Silverman.
I'm like oh.
Oh this is unfair
to everyone involved
but the third one was Harrison Ford. The Pointer Sisters. The Pointer with Sarah Silverman. Oh, this is unfair to everyone involved. But the third one was
The Pointer Sisters.
The Pointer Sisters?
No, it was...
Who was it?
Edgar. Edgar Wright.
Who's very busy writing a movie with Simon Pegg.
In another country, right?
No, here.
Are they here?
They're here because Simon's going to be in the...
Will you let me speak?
For once, will you let me speak?
It's happening early this time.
We are one minute in.
One minute in,
and already Sarah Sermon would have been better.
She would have.
One minute.
This is not a competition.
Well, it is eventually.
Towards the end, it is.
But now, for right now, it's not a competition. Well, it is eventually. Towards the end, it is.
But now, for right now,
it's not a competition.
Ben, thank you for coming back to the show and congratulations on the success
of your two programs.
He's on two programs, Parks and Rec.
Yeah.
That little tag scene at the end
where NBC likes to go,
there's more of this coming up
when there's only 30 seconds more
and there's credits over the whole thing.
Yeah, yeah.
When they do that,
the scene where you go in
to try to get the job at the accounting agency
and just do one lap around the place,
one shot,
just they slowly figure out your fucking tool bag
and then you just
you're happily
out the door
like well
that didn't work out
for anybody
that's the funny
it's so great
and you're on
House of Lies
on Showtime
so
Showtime
as a character
with almost
almost different hair
yeah
the difference between
is that my hair
is a little different
the character
on House of Lies
uses a different product, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He uses more of a...
It's a pomade.
He tapes it down.
One of them teases
the other hair.
The parts of that character
is more bumble and bumble.
This one's more of like
a crew hole.
That's American.
Hashtag go home.
Yeah, yeah.
So, um...
Hashtag go home.
Seriously, go them, though.
So you're at the Super Ego show in Vancouver.
In Vancouver.
Has to move to a new venue.
Have you heard of this?
No, I sure haven't, Doug.
What are you telling me on a podcast?
That concerns my life?
Super inside shit.
What happened to the Tom T. Hall music hall?
Or whatever it was called
I told them already
There was a punk show there
And there were fire marshal violations
So they had to lower their capacity
And we've sold more tickets
Than they're allowed to have people in there
May I address all the punks of the world right now?
I'm so happy you're doing this
Please speak to them, please I'm so happy you're doing this. Please, speak to them, please.
I'm so happy you're doing this.
Punks!
It's not the better part of over three decades
to overthrow the world government.
Give it up.
It's like trying to make burlesque a thing again.
You can try all you want, it's not going to happen.
Stop ruining things,
punks. We just wanted to
have a show.
How do you think my punk
demographic, what do you think? Like how many
of them just heard that?
Those three? Just the most stoned
punks ever.
Why won't Doug talk more about anarchy?
Oh, I just got a text from Paul Topkins.
What did he say?
Sorry, can't make it.
I think Sarah Silverman's available.
I think you need context for this particular text because you were by the side door hoping I would open it. This is absolutely
going to be worth it.
Any text
that needs a story behind it. Outdoors,
being attacked by punks.
Let me in quick.
These punks are going to ruin the pod.
Hashtag, I have something to say when we get
on stage.
Johnny Rotten's holding a safety pin to my throat.
I just say that
because he wrote, little pig, let me come in.
And he wouldn't speak to me that way.
He would call me Douglas
normally. That's right. But I was pretending
to be Alec Baldwin. You were my daughter.
I cannot
get over that anyone thought
that him calling his own daughter a little pig
was anywhere out of line at all.
A rude little pig.
Yeah.
That was the best part.
Devastating comeback put down for a small girl.
What a comeback.
But some little pigs aren't fat.
You know what I mean?
Little pigs can be cute.
Look, little pigs start out in great shape.
Right? Fresh out of be cute. Look, little pigs start out in great shape. Right?
Fresh out of the womb.
Running around.
Oh, when they're fresh, they are thin.
God, they look good.
But then what happens?
They don't like themselves.
And they get lazy.
And they have to eat slop.
That's true.
You know what's funny?
How can you not get fat eating something called slop?
If they understood English, I bet they wouldn't eat slop.
I bet if the farmer was like, here's your slop, and they understood English, they'd be like, what?
How dare you?
No deal.
But instead they'd just hear, slop.
And that means beautiful ambrosia.
The most appetizing sound in the world.
To a pig. To a little pig
And I get to eat out of a trough
Let's check in with Tom and Jeff
And see how they're doing
Let's check in with Tom and Jeff
What's going over there
Out in the middle of the stage
Tom and Jeff, what's it look like out there?
Tom, can you hear us?
Can we change our choices?
From left field, Tom!
Doug is down.
Doug is falling on the ground.
Get up, Doug!
Paul Johnson to get Doug in the face with a microphone.
Everything is going wrong.
Tom, what have you done?
You bring two fucking punks on the show.
Doug's back up.
He is back into it.
Doug is returning to his chair.
He is staring intently into Tom's eyes.
Tom is neither intimidated
nor without an erection.
Let me do a quick check.
Quick check on the most words contest.
Yes, TJ is in the lead.
And all of them are irid.
Yeah, and Jeff, seriously, man.
Step it up.
It will last us first in some ways.
You have it.
Oh.
That's like biblical.
They did the most profound things.
That's right.
Yeah.
Out of the mouths of babes, not the little pig who was rude.
Not even vaguely threatening.
It's clearly threatening from them.
Are you guys, are the Levaks excited about participating in the game portion of the show tonight?
We've been practicing.
But we're sure that as soon as you start, we're going to turn into Marc Maron and not know anything.
Whoa. That's a weird, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, inept, He doesn't even know that this is the last mention, so he has to listen all the way to the end.
I'm going to throw something in after the end theme song,
so he has to listen to that again.
At the end of the episode,
let's all say what we really think about Mark Bennett.
Let's do it.
Let's end the episode that way.
We should also do a seance.
Or what if we just bypass the shithead thing
and I just say his name four times?
He'll stay on to hear that.
Even if you tell him that's exactly what's going to happen,
he will still need to hear it.
Oh, my God.
All right, so let's play.
Don't read, cheater.
Do you need to return your 29 emails?
Can I say that I brought you guys
I brought you guys gifts
Well thank you
Oh yes, TJ brought some gifts
I brought you my hour special
For Tom and Jeff
And my music album
Which Doug calls the most confusing thing on the marketplace
It's my favorite description of it
I love it though
So that's for you guys
But there's only one copy for each of you
So you have to listen to it separately
And watch it separately
And then you can switch
Because it's weird if a father and a son
Are just like hanging out in the bedroom
Like let's sit on the couch
And watch this buddy
Or I guess if you do it in the living room
It's okay
Here's what's in the prize bag
That's going to the audience tonight
We've got a keychain that says
Miami on one side
And number one dad on the other
A copy of the aforementioned
T.J. Miller
The extended play EP
My first CD
Also from T.J.
Who played Stainer
And she's out of my league
A beta copy of that Your character's name played Stainer, and she's out of my league, a beta copy of that.
Your character's name was Stainer?
Yeah.
Aren't I lucky, Paul?
Come fly with me.
The original script, it was shitbag, wasn't it?
It was dick faker.
It was dick faker.
How many drafts could there have been?
Like two, right?
A hundred.
No, there's a hundred.
Oh, I forgot to change it from stainer.
Well, it's too late.
The movie's been greenlit.
It's too late.
And it wasn't even the word stainer.
It was just ejaculate stains right above my dialogue.
Every single piece of paper.
Every single piece of paper.
Wow.
Very unique.
Yeah, they did it at DreamWorks.
They don't...
They're very generous.
Seems like more words.
Ben Schwartz brought some humorous books that he co-wrote.
Yeah.
Like there's one with a puppy on the front that says,
Grandma's dead.
I should mention the puppy looks sad.
Yeah, he's not happy about it.
No.
That'd be weird if he was happy.
Just a happy puppy. Yeah. Grandma's dead. This happy about it. No. That'd be weird if he was happy. Just a happy puppy.
Yeah.
This one, it is weird.
It's a cute little happy dog
that says,
maybe your leg will grow back.
Or maybe it'll grow back.
Now everybody wants to fucking win, right?
Before it was just a stainer Blu-ray.
Oh yeah, it was a Blu-ray.
I'm sorry, I said Vader.
And Paul brought a hat that says The Room
on it.
The Room!
Handed to me directly by the auteur,
Tommy Wiseau.
Have you ever seen him and Gene Simmons
in the same place?
They're actually in the green room.
Is that weird that I didn't mention that until now?
That is weird. They're actually in the green room. Is that weird that I didn't mention that until now? That is weird.
They're doing Shakespeare.
Let's play some games.
Let's start with Build a Title to determine
which
individual up here.
Is this the most people
that have done Build a Title?
Probably yes.
What's the matter, Teach?
What's the matter, Teach? What?
What's the matter?
Nothing
You seem sad
What happened?
Nothing
You can tell us
You're still winning the words thing
I don't know
I just feel like
I just feel like everybody really likes each other on this podcast
But they don't tell each other enough
Anyway, whatever It's not that I just spilled some water near the microphones like everybody really likes each other on this podcast, but they don't tell each other enough.
Anyway,
whatever. It's not that I just spilled some water near the microphones.
Figure that
one out, listeners.
You're really funny in the goods.
Thanks. You're welcome.
Okay.
This title for Build a Title
was suggested by
at Wampus
Reynolds. And the title
will start with Paul since I think he already looked
at it. I don't know if you can read my writing.
I was fascinated by the double digit
amount of your emails.
Because they're ones
that I, you know, keep as new
because I want to remember to do that thing.
Oh.
I'm pretty good about getting back and stuff on emails and shit.
That's why I was surprised, Doug.
Everybody has a system.
Here's the title.
We'll start with you.
Then we'll go to the Levaques, Jeff and Tom.
Sure.
Followed by Ben, who will hopefully have figured out how this game works by then.
I'm going to figure it out by the time we're done.
I don't think he's played before.
And TJ.
So here we go.
Your title, Paul, to start with is
American Buffalo.
Oh.
David Mahmood.
American Buffalo.
Oh, boy.
That is a little tough.
I have no idea what the fuck is going on.
That is weird.
I don't know why they're thrown.
The game just starts,
American Buffalo,
and he's like,
American Buffalo?
And what it does,
this game could be anything at this point.
Literally.
Doug, you should just be like,
you are a winner, Paul.
And then Ben's like,
what the fuck?
How are we supposed to make this?
I believe it.
Let's move on to Jeff.
The Godfather.
Don't fuck this up, Jeff.
Don't fuck this up.
The Godfather.
You lose.
No!
All right.
I got one.
Okay, okay, okay.
American Buffalo Down Dirty Shame.
Oh, yeah!
Oh, boy.
Oh, I'm talking.
So now we go to Jeff, and he's
got to add to American Buffalo
Down Dirty Shame.
Liss?
Shameless. Yes, that's correct.
Just that simple.
Just that simple, folks.
What?
It's not on you yet. It's not on you yet.
It's not on you yet.
You're so good.
I'll try to figure it out.
We're building a title from existing movie titles.
We go to Tom.
He has to say a movie that ends in American
or begins with shameless or less.
Got it.
So American, Buffalo,
Down Dirty Shame. Less Than Zero. Yeah! shameless or less. Got it. So American, Buffalo, down,
dirty,
shame.
Down,
dirty,
shame,
less than zero.
Yeah!
Ooh, I got one.
I can't wait
until these guys blow it.
Since he came to play.
All right,
so there we go to Ben.
So I have to start
with either zero or American.
Yeah,
and remember the absolute
low stakes that are involved here.
Does it have to be
the whole word American
or can I do what Paul didn't just use low out of something? Could it be easy American Remember the absolute low stakes that are involved here. Does it have to be the whole word American?
Or can I do what Paul didn't just use low out of something?
Could it be easy American, buffalo, low and down, dirty, shame, whatever, shameless, zero?
Easy A-American.
I like it.
I'm for it.
Easy A-American.
Nobody ever says you just got an easy A-American.
Yeah,
nobody says American.
That's what I
meant.
It's going to
be a regional
thing.
And then
easy sets you
up.
That helps
you.
Where are
you from?
America?
Stakes are
so fucking
high.
The stakes
are so high.
Okay,
easy American.
Okay,
so then I
think the
big easy.
Yeah,
that's right.
Big easy.
So now, Paul, you need to...
I like somebody in the audience who's like,
oh, what a weird thing to root against.
Ending big or starting zero?
TJ's success.
How would you root against it?
TJ, you know what I've told you about sidebars during the games?
Sorry, bar.
Paul, it's
ends in big, begins in zero. Zero
effect. Oh.
I like that movie. Oh my gosh.
What?
What determines what gets
applause?
Is it for the movie or is it
for the furthering of the game? I think it's a combination
of people like that movie.
People did not know how to feel about it.
No, I'm saying that other movies got bigger applause.
Less than zero, people were thrilled to hear it.
Maybe they got to the effect before you.
Maybe they all knew that was coming.
They were waiting for it.
Shame less than zero was a surprise,
especially from, you know,
some fucking hillbilly from the sticks
of Cincinnati.
Yeah, that one coming.
I love Cincinnati, by the way.
Okay.
Been all is well.
Oh, shit!
I was going to show
the trailer that they made.
Do you guys want to see it?
Yes, more than I do.
This will give you some time to think. I know your made. Do you guys want to see it? Yes, more than I do. This will give you some time to think.
I know your strategy.
Do you have it fired up?
Can we play it?
Yeah.
Now, they used a Led Zeppelin song, was it?
Well, it's in the trailer.
Yeah, yeah, in the trailer.
It's actually a parody of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Yeah, yeah, it's the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Almost shot by shot, except for, like, whenever they cut to a road, you just cut to some cookies. Yeah, any time there was a car, cookies. Yeah, yeah. It's a girl with a dragon tattoo. Almost shot by shot. Except for like whenever they cut to a road, you just
cut to some cookies. Yeah, anytime there was a
car, cookies. Yeah, yeah.
Now, sitting two inches from the screen, we'll probably
be able to see this pretty well, right?
And this is going to play really
well on a podcast.
Oh, no, no. We're going to, you know, we'll fade in and fade
out, but I just think everybody here will
like to see it.
Ah!
No, no, no. Not yet. Not yet. out but I just I just think it was a white power it listeners here we go this is my tunnel man Jeff and his dad who the following parody yeah it's already
funny
Oh my god.
Sanitize me.
Yay!
I was shot entirely on an iPhone 4GS.
Yeah, shot entirely on an iPhone.
Alright, well that was my one stoner moment at late night.
I know there's no such thing as an iPhone 4GS.
Which was pointed out to me the second I posted it on YouTube.
And you can't change it?
You don't have the technology?
People were already watching it.
You know what? It's part of it.
It's part of the magic, man.
YouTube comments are sacrosanct.
What was the cookie budget on that?
Too much.
It wasn't money.
It was time.
I think once we got into it.
Oh, you baked all the cookies.
Yes, of course.
They're all from scratch.
They have to be authentic.
I should say,
you baked those Oreos.
I should say,
for the people that were
just listening and not seeing it,
that they can go to YouTube and type in Santa Size Me, like official winner or something like that,
and then you can see it.
And then they also do a side-by-side.
It's on the other video's side of the screen you can click on.
They put the trailer and their thing running
side by side
and you can see
how
you know
they tried to match up
most of the shots
in that
that trailer is awesome
that David Fincher trailer
is amazing
I still haven't seen the movie
because I heard
there's reading involved
but
and rape
I don't want to be reading
during a rape
I just want to be able
to enjoy it.
On its own terms.
What annoys you more?
Reading annoys you more than rape is what we learned.
Reading, rape-o.
Arithmetic.
Reading, rape-o.
Three R's.
Reading, rape-o.
I knew in my heart that that would be funny.
I'm so happy you went for it. I'm so happy you went for it.
I'm so happy you went for it.
I waited to see it.
I know somebody else named TJ,
but TJ just came up voicemail on my phone
and I thought, did he fucking call me during that?
While we were watching your trailer?
Yeah, I had a couple of notes on your reactions
to the trailer.
At one point you looked away.
At one point you were sleeping.
At another point you put a hoodie over your hoodie.
Yeah, that's called ghost protocol.
Paul F. Tompkins.
GoPro.
Big, easy, American, buffalo,
down, dirty, shapeless.
Then zero effect.
So what do you got?
I got zero effect, which I just said.
Oh, okay.
We go to Jeff.
Sorry.
We move to Jeff. I have nothing. Okay, Jeff. We go to Jeff. Sorry. We move to Jeff.
I have nothing.
Okay, Jeff is out.
Wait, hold on.
Is that the title of a movie?
Tom, you got anything that ends in big
or begins in effect?
Or ect?
No, and this is exactly what I said.
So, no. Okay. It's only fair. Low stakes. Or ect No and this is exactly What I said So no Okay
It's only fair
Low stakes
Ben Schwartz
Here I am guys
TJ Miller
Yep
Hi
I'm Ben Schwartz
Shit he sounds like me
You got anything TJ?
I think there's gotta be
Some movie with the end of it
As big I think What about big? I think there's got to be some movie with the end of it as big.
What about big?
I'd say it's The Big.
Okay.
The Big.
I challenge you, sir.
Quite the gamesman.
You lose, and Paul is our winner.
That means you get to go first
in Leonard Martin game.
Thank you.
Thank you, everyone.
We'll go the same
order again so that the guys on the end
will have a chance to maybe have an idea
what's happening.
Maybe.
I think you've played this before.
I've been on it a lot and I don't know it.
I think we just watched
cookie trailers for a while.
Yeah.
Gentlemen, choose a name tag. I think we just watched cookie trailers for a while. Yeah.
Gentlemen, choose a name tag.
You got name tags, you guys?
Oh, that's right.
Choose a name tag from the audience that you would wish to play for.
Oh, this gentleman right here, it says stuffed.
It's the last moment of your trailer. Yeah, yeah.
Paul's going to move out into the
crowd.
His lovely wife is here tonight.
It's a big night here at the show.
Okay, this guy...
What do you got, TJ? Tell us about it.
This guy gave me
a wallet
under the pretense that there
was going to be money in it
as a bribe like what we do
when we're pulled over in Mexico.
But then I look at it
and it doesn't have anything.
Well, maybe there's a prepaid phone card.
There isn't. There's just a New Hampshire ID
and another
New Hampshire ID.
What's his name?
Maybe one of them says he's a little older than the other.
Pull off the digressives, Highway.
David Reynolds Jr.
Okay, David Reynolds Jr.
What's his social?
The other one says David Reynolds Sr.
It's a fake ID.
David Reynolds Jr.
I'm your father, Slap. I'm your father, Slap.
I'm your son, Slap.
Ben.
I grabbed a Blu-ray DVD
that he costumed to say
Zack to the Future
instead of Back to the Future.
Nice.
But the DVD is really
the film Sanctum.
Oh.
I was just in case
you tried to walk away
with his sweet, sweet
Back to the Future Blu-ray.
It would be awesome if his name was
Future, and he changed
Zach just because he thought it sounded better.
Tom, what do you got?
I picked the
Kenny Loggins album that has
a Chris that looks like Price is Right.
Which, interestingly, has...
Nope!
Oh! He wrote his shithead
on the back. Don't give it away, Tom.
Tom, you're fine.
Everything's fine.
He did do it.
Oh, shit.
Does that mean you have to tell Sanctum to go fuck itself?
Oh, maybe.
Maybe that's what they meant.
Sanctum should go fuck itself.
If we're honest.
Sanctum, I don't even know him.
There's an inner Sanctum. I don't even know him. Intersanctum.
Yeah.
Jeff.
And I got Jeffrey.
Oh, that's nice.
Same name.
Yeah.
And there was that movie Jeffrey.
That was a weird movie.
Don't you.
Don't you.
You guys are.
It's not a very faded Xerox.
I don't think either of those guys are gay, but they play gay dudes, I guess.
It's weird.
Yeah.
And Paul F. Tompkins Has a
This is Eric
And it says
The little sign says
Eric Celsior
That's being held
By Galactus
The devourer of worlds
From Marvel Comics
It looks like he says some shit
There's holes in his back
Oh yeah yeah
He's a talking Galactus
I don't know where you
Eric Celsior
You gotta
I don't think I wanna know what he has to say.
I'm talking to Eric!
The button in the middle?
The world eating machine.
No!
That's the worst kind of machine.
Oh my god, he's a world eating machine.
That's the worst kind of machine.
You could not have set that up better.
What I'm holding right now is a guy who eats worlds.
I wonder what he says.
Me, the world eating machine.
That's me.
That's the commercial for Grand Corral or whatever that's called with the chocolate fountain.
Come eat the world.
Is he going to say something else?
I hunger.
I hunger.
Know me, mortal.
Know me and no fear.
This guy is not, he's not messing around.
What a strange kind of immortality for the voiceover artist.
It would be amazing if every time you pressed it, he was less and less into eating worlds.
Like, he's like, I don't know about real life.
You know what?
I'm over this whole world eating thing.
Behold, the planet snacker.
You know, I gotta do it on weekends.
He's so hard to wait on.
I'm not as hungry anymore.
Poor, poor Waitress.
He's stealing your time.
Hold on.
I'm hungry.
One more.
One more.
Let me press it again.
So what are you guys doing now?
That's weird.
What a weird thing.
It is weird.
Why would it say that?
That is weird.
He just threatened to eat your world, and then...
He sounds like he just wants to hang out.
He wants to know what's up.
Yeah, like...
He came on too strong.
The eating world thing isn't panning out,
so he's like, maybe I should start over.
I think part of it is that I feel that he's so sad
that he's eating his feelings,
and they're earth-sized feelings.
Let me press it one more time.
Do you guys want to trade Big Lebowski
quotes?
They're so sad.
I do, I do.
Now I know why you eat waffles.
By the way,
this guy knows his audience.
He really does.
Really well.
So it's okay if I hide behind this for the whole show, right?
Yes, sir.
You can hide behind it. In fact, I would behind this for the whole show, right? Yes, sir You can hide behind it
And in fact, I would appreciate it if from now on
If from this point forward
He plays the game in your stead
Sure, absolutely
But we can consult with each other
Yes, of course
I'll play it out if you want
We're playing as a team
Yes
Absolutely
You guys are a team
So
We started about two minutes late tonight
So we're going to go about 19 minutes over.
She hates Galactus.
Cheesecake Galactus, I think he said?
She hates Galactus.
Oh, now he's getting into it.
Yeah.
This is where it comes down.
Things are shitty at home.
Things are fucking shitty at home.
Okay.
So Paul, we'll start with you, and then we'll go across.
And Galactus, the world leader.
On our way to TJ.
Yes.
You have to refer to this, Paul.
The team of Paul and Galactus.
That's right.
The world leader.
Lucky number Nevin on Twitter wrote.
It's a good one.
Lucky number Nevin.
And the weird part is
his name is Slevin.
Well, he goes by
Nevin. Yeah, he goes by Nevin.
His category suggestion
is my wife
and that's movies where
a woman is directed by her
husband.
My wife.
I love that you could tell that was the tone he said it in on Twitter.
I knew what he was going for, yeah.
Nobody says, my wife.
There's no reason to say it any other way.
Yeah, you would never be like, this is my wife.
You would have to end it like that, but you can't begin a sentence with my wife unless you very hastily add words right
after wife.
My wife's dead.
My wife has cancer.
My wife has cancer.
My wife has been tortured.
Yeah.
No, no, thank you.
My wife hates when I do this.
I guess he wants to move the game along. No, thank you. My wife hates when I do this. Who can't defy Galactus?
I guess he wants to move the game along.
We haven't defied anyone yet.
I guess he wants to move it along.
You get to pick a character.
I mean, a category.
All right.
Would you like...
There was that one, right?
Did I say one already?
Yes, you said my wife.
My wife.
We talked about it for ten minutes.
My wife.
And then
Hugh Meridian suggested
Breaking Bald,
which is the Baldwin acting dynasty.
The films of Breaking Bald.
Oh, that's good.
Yes.
And then
Araba-raba
Araba-raba
suggested
Iron Lady, which is movies
with a female robot.
Iron Lady.
Which one of those would you like to play?
Galacticus and Paul.
All right.
Friday's at 10.
Galacticus and Paul.
Well, let's go with Gal Galactus out there on the street
Galactus what do people say
I am the devourer of the world
Alright thanks buddy
Have a great weekend
Oh I hate having him
In front of me at the buffet
It's a nightmare
I am the devourer of the world
Can you save me a thing
Can you save me a thing?
Can you save me a thing?
Just giving up on the food. If only foods were so obscure.
What am I supposed to think of things like biscuits?
The ones I thought of were obscure.
Too obscure.
That's why I came up with it.
I want to go with...
What was the one in between my wife and the lady robots?
Breaking Bald.
Win. I'm going to go with the lady robots one.
Lady robots.
Lady robots.
Baby robots.
This movie's got a lady robot in it.
I'll say.
At least one.
That's what she mechanically said.
Two and a half stars from Leonard.
The year is 2008 when this movie came out.
He says about this movie that it won the hearts of audiences.
And he also says that it has a heavy-handed message.
Some of the audience is mocking my...
Yeah, what the fuck?
Would it be better if I just stare at it quietly?
Of all the things to mock about what's happening up here...
Nobody mocks it when President Obama does it.
You need to just sound more authoritative.
Capture the hearts of people?
That's the first thing I'm going to do
is get a prompter and take all the uhs
out of the prompter so I don't say them.
Okay.
There are
seven names listed
for this movie
with the lady robot in it.
How many names do you think you can get in Galacticus
and Paul?
I'm thinking
five names. Let me ask
Galactus what he thinks.
Tremble at the might
of the power cosmic.
Alright, I'm going to go six names.
Galacticus is
drunk. Yeah, he kind of encouraged you to be
less. I think he was saying be cautious.
He's slurring his words. Yeah, he kind of encouraged you to be less. I think he was saying be cautious. He's slurring his words.
Yeah, he's hammered.
I want to destroy
the earth.
Stay off of my couch.
Baby, you want to
see me eat a fucking planet?
I'll do it. I'll do it.
I'll do it. I'm so lonely.
That is sad.
Jeff.
What do you think of that, Jeff?
He said...
Yeah, what do you think of that?
He landed on six names, I think.
That's okay.
You want to say name it or you want to go lower?
Five, I can't get into it.
Five, he says.
Then you go to your dad over here.
Which, by the way, nice work to both of you.
Coming off real weird, Benson.
Has this been fun, though?
Coming off real weird.
Has it been fun, though?
Have you had a good time?
Jesus Christ.
I'm going to be honest with you and tell you that I haven't been listening to a word anybody has been saying for the last five minutes.
Because after listening to every podcast,
turning him on to it,
I cannot believe I got up here and went,
oh, there's a name on the back of it.
Oh.
Oh, are you kidding?
Don't worry about that.
Yeah, you really can't let that go.
Have you seen how much I fuck up this game
every episode?
I'm the worst at this.
It doesn't matter
because on the way home,
we will be on a layover wherever we're at
and I'll just be sitting there going,
fuck.
Can I be the only one to say, you're right to be hard on yourself.
That was dumb.
And that is the only way
that you do better.
Wait till you listen back to this.
You're going to be like, oh.
Every time.
Paul will never get over his
last defeat on the show.
Never, ever.
And then I also just realized I should not be sitting next to my son
because I have to say, name that movie.
Tag her in the back.
Father-son rivalry.
By the way, what would have happened if Galacticas had to name that movie?
He would just say, every answer would be devouring world.
I'm the team captain.
Okay, I'm sorry, sir.
Alright, let's establish this.
Cooler hits prevail on our team.
Paul's not going to tell me.
The one time that Paul does it,
the answer's going to be devouring planets
with like William H. Macy.
You have to...
Galacticus cannot respond
unless you...
It's Galactus!
A little respect!
He's a devourer of worlds!
Eric Seltzer cannot respond
unless you tickle his belly.
Or whatever it is you're doing to him.
No, you tickle him.
You hold a buttercup under his chin.
I like butter!
You know,
it's why I wasn't in production
for very long.
Oh, shit. Okay, so Tom told son Jeff to name it. I like butter You know It's why I wasn't In production for very long Oh shit
Okay so
Tom told son Jeff
To name it
Which I will pay for
And he gets
Five names
And uh
Do you want the clues again Jeff?
No
Okay
Oh shit Jeff
I like it
Jeff is this gonna be
You outside
In the car
What is your problem Dan?
You always do this to me.
Just take me home.
I want to go to my room.
I was inches away from Paul F. Tompkins.
And even closer to Galactica.
Son, it's Galactus.
Thank you.
Do you guys remember the night where Comedy Bang Bang started at 11?
That was such a fun night.
It was the best night of comedy.
All those dumb, only-head-tickets-to-comedy-bang-bang people were just outside in the drizzle.
Little drizzle.
God help them out there in the drizzle.
What will they do?
They'll have to put their collars up a little bit.
And bring their hats down.
I went ghost protocol.
I went full hood.
Smart.
All right.
No one is safe.
No one is house.
There are five names that I'm going to read to you now.
Here we go, Jeff. They are Sigourney Weaver, Kathy Najimy, John Ratzenberger,
Jeff Garland, and Alyssa Knight.
Are there five names for this movie that has a female
robot in it from 2008?
What's it called, Jeff?
Bring it home.
Jeff. I believe in you, Jeff.
Jeff, you can do this.
You can do this. This is for your father.
I have nothing. Jeff Garlin.
The one movie in 08 that I can think
of is Iron Man, and I know that's not right, but
I'll say Iron Man. Let's go with Iron Man.
Why not? Once you've established it's not
right, just dive in.
That was my strategy in Cincinnati, and I
went with that. I know what it is. That's true.
It did work in Cincinnati, but for now, your dad And I know what it is. That's true. It did work in Cincinnati.
But for now, your dad is now on the leaderboard with one point, because the movie's called WALL-E!
That's one of the few ones I'm going to know all night.
Did that robot really have a gender?
Yeah, the female one did.
The female one, yeah.
It was kind of about...
Pretty feminine.
It was kind of about...
Her name was Ivy or some shit.
That was one fine-looking robot. Her name was Susan. Yep. No, it was kind of about her name was Ivy or some shit. That was one fine looking robot.
Her name was Susan.
Yeah.
No, it wasn't.
I am Susan the Robot.
Susan the Robot.
That has to happen.
Okay, so exciting.
Tom has a point.
We'll start down there with Ben on this one.
Let's do it. You get to pick a category.
And then we'll go to TJ and Paul.
You get to choose between
the following categories. Would you like
It's Pete Possilthwaite's birthday
today, if you were alive still.
And
so the
films of the great Pete Possilthwaite.
Or at Abby Monster suggested on Twitter So the films The films of the great Apostle Thwait Or
At Abbey Monster
Suggested on Twitter
Dude
Where's my Sklar
Which is movies
With one or more
Of the Sklar brothers
I love the movies
With more than one
They might have
Appeared in movies
Separately
And then
Also
Also celebrating a birthday
Sir Ashton Kutcher.
So pleased about his status.
He did get knighted.
So the films of
Ashton Kutcher. Let's absolutely do Ashton Kutcher.
Absolutely.
Nicely done.
Two stars from Leonard for this movie from
2004. He says about
this movie that it has interesting
premise and then he says it also
Wallows in unpleasantness
What a reversal
Of thought
Leonard Maltin
If you're listening
Two stars and he lists
Nine names
People in the audience think they already know it
Out of nine names how many
Can you get it in
2004
I could get it in? 2004.
I could do it in five names.
Someone just was so disappointed in me.
That is a bold, big hair pit.
2004.
Ashton Kutchners.
That's the one.
I can do it in four.
Whoa.
All F. Tompkins.
The category is Ashton Kutcher? Mm-hmm.
2004.
What are the clues again?
I'm so sorry, Doug.
Wallows in Unpleasantness?
Cool.
Interesting premise.
I can name that movie in zero names.
Papa Twist.
I'm excited for you.
Negative name.
Jav-ree.
Negative name.
I think I might know it, so I will go negative one.
Yeah.
Negative one.
That's Ashton Kuchner's.
I love this.
We're behind schedule,
and this could end the game right here.
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
This could be it.
You know what to do.
What are you going to do with this, Tom?
Father-son rivalry.
You can make up for reading the name on the back of your record.
Nothing can ever make up for that.
He says negative two.
Negative two.
I'm going to say
name that movie.
Tom has to name it and
two names in order
and if he succeeds, he will have
two points and that will be
the end of the game.
This is it.
It should be fantastic.
Is it the butterfly effect?
What are the two names?
Top two.
Ashton Kutcher and Amy Smart.
Dude, you did it!
Very impressive!
Totally redeeming himself for reading the shit.
The next comment is Tom from Cincinnati.
That's Tournament of Championships shit.
You're going to have to fly back out here again
at your own expense.
Once again.
At your own expense.
We did this time.
I might have enough miles saved up.
We'll work it out.
That's the next Tournament of Championships.
I'm deep in the current one.
Well done.
That was the best game I've ever been a part one, but well done. Very well done. That was so exciting. That was great.
That was the best game I've ever been a part of.
That was good.
Now, TJ does not say that.
No, never.
So this is an honor.
Never.
That is one of the few things that I say.
And I am very aware that one day I will be an old man in a nursing home,
and I will pay for this.
Yeah.
Oh, just download it now and hang on to it.
Old man.
Old man.
You can do it.
I think he meant his son was going to smother him with a pillow.
Yeah.
Not that he was going to refuse.
My son might actually have an extra ticket for Paul's performance.
It would be weird if you held that grudge for so long.
Like 25 years later, finally, you're like, I'm gonna
fucking get you, Dad.
Who were you
playing for again, TJ?
I played for Damien
Roberts Jr.
David Reynolds Jr.
David Reynolds, could you please come up and
write down a shithead for me?
David was ready in the corner.
Who'd you play for? Where's Zach?
Zach.
Zach, come on up.
And I wrote a suggestion of maybe who you'd want to put down on the back.
David, next time, money in the wallet.
Where's the guy, Zach? Is that you, Zach?
No, Zach is this guy.
Eric Seltzer.
You're Eric Seltzer.
How do you feel about losing Galactica?
Who is so ignorant as to confront Galactus.
Wow, Doug.
You should not have mispronounced his name again.
Oh, I should not.
I'm so ignorant of Galapagos.
Galactus, it was him.
I'm sorry, Galapagos.
It'll never happen again.
I will witness the end, for I am power incarnate.
That's like
quite a burden to bear, being power incarnate.
Wow, he's gotten consistently less
impressive.
He knows how to dial it down. He knows if it's not
working, like, why force it?
He is sensitive to social situations.
That's true.
Oh my god, the things people wrote.
You can cut this tension with a knife. He is sensitive to social situations. That's true. That's what makes him such an impressive role leader.
Thanks, man.
You can cut this tension with a knife.
Were you guys just talking about me?
Oh, that's it?
What does that say?
I can't read all of that.
That's cheating, just putting a bunch of stuff on there.
You wrote one down, right? Yeah, yeah, just putting a bunch of stuff on there. You wrote one down, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Part of that's on there.
I like that he knew it was his handwriting.
He's like, sorry.
How many shit heads do we have? I write like a man trapped in a box.
People are jumping up out of the thing.
What the hell's going on?
I got three, four, I got four of them.
Okay.
Perfect amount.
All right.
What else do we have to do before we go?
Any plugs, TJ?
My podcast is coming out in February.

Jeff is on his deathbed.
He's got his wheel chipped out.
He's got an iron lung on a gurney.
It's really terrible.
All right, Paul.
Doug, I'd like to promote my podcast,
the Pod F TomCast.
Thank you very much.
You were nice enough to not promote it
when you talked about the characters
from Comedy Bang Bang appearing on the show.
Oh yeah,
I wasn't aware
that they were on other shows.
Yeah, just the one.
I thought they were comedy.
Just the one other show.
I thought they were
Comedy Bang Bang guys.
Pot F TomCast,
free month to download.
And also,
that show in Vancouver
that I'm doing
with the Super Ego guys.
We're doing it,
as far as I know,
it's still February 15th.
Somewhere. I'm sure we're at the same time
But they just gotta find a place
They just gotta find a place
Help us find a place everyone
The hunt is on
I'll be in Knoxville, Tennessee
In May
And all of my tour dates
Are at douglasmovies.com
Thanks again to my guests
Let's hear it for all these guys
Thanks for having us
Terrific panel
Sweet sausage
party.
And
John Hirshberg is a shithead
as always. As always,
Biff Tannen is a shithead.
But then we have people who are adding
parentheticals. I don't know where I said that was
okay, but it does say that Tom Wilson is nice
and I have to agree. I run into him
a lot in airports and he's always a sweetheart.
Steve
Grossman is a shithead.
That one I can verify because I don't know
who Steve Grossman is.
And
parentheses, Ben made me.
Let's see what he said. Mark Maron
is a shithead. Way to go!
Oh, Mark!
