Alia Shawkat, Tom Lennon, and Steve Agee Guest
00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seeds With 50 acid pop or kernels in his teeth There's still not one that he won't see Because Doug loves boobies Hey everybody Hey, everybody. My name is Doug, and I love movies. This is Doug Loves Movies, coming to you from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles on February 1st.
00:37 Oh, that's good. For Colin Firth, nominated for an Oscar, let's call today February 1th to Ocean's Eleven. And I'm in front of a live audience before Comedy Death Ray. I had a fuckdiculous good time at San Francisco
00:58 SF Sketch Fest as they call it, last weekend. And two of my guests tonight were gracious enough to appear on the Benson Interruption shows that we did at the festival. And the third is a very amazing, awesome actress who is making her first appearance here on the show. So everybody, please welcome Tom Lennon, Steve Agee, and Alia Shawkat.
01:32 Here they are. Welcome, you guys. Way to melt the applause. Tom is in the bathroom. Oh, Tom was in the bathroom. Yeah. I missed the intro. Tom is in the bathroom. Oh, Tom was in the bathroom. Yeah. I missed the intro. I thought you were doing 10.
01:50 Oh, well, you said to me before you went to go to the bathroom. I said, how long are you doing? Are you doing about 10 minutes? And I said, yes. You thought I was serious? I forgot you're always high. So everything seems ironic. That was 10 minutes in stoner time.
02:06 Even straight up legitimate questions that I asked you 49 seconds ago. But you've been on the show a few times and I can't imagine as a non-stoned individual that you would think that ten minutes goes by before you get introduced. It's a pretty fast minute or two before I bring the guest out.
02:24 You'd be surprised. It's a pretty fast minute or two before I bring the guests out. You'd be surprised. It feels like a while back there. Well, I appreciate you being here and for doing the Benson Interruption on television and at the festival. It was good times. And when you were on at the festival, I had Zach Galifianakis came out
02:42 and co-interrupted with me. That's right. And I referred to you as Statler and Waldorf. Right. Which this crowd gets. And then someone... A certain portion of this crowd. Let's not go crazy.
02:56 Solid 40%. And then someone on a special thing posted like, sitting in as the Statler and Waldorf for the evening was Zach Galifianakis and Doug Benson. And I was like, that was fucking the thing that I said. Then you just said it again. His entire review was probably stuff from your act.
03:13 It was. Applied to what had happened. But that's, you know, that's still... It's pretty accurate. Everyone feels... Everyone thinks you deserve credit for that amazing Staten Waldorf reference. You meet those two guys
03:29 who would sit there and watch things and comment on it. Can I point out to the listeners at home that Steve Agee, like Eminem in some kind of crazy eight-mile scene, hasn't even picked up a microphone yet. I've picked it up several times. Okay, but he sets it...
03:45 See? He puts it down like his rap is done. Exactly. Beat that, bitch. Exactly. He holds it like this, too. Yeah. He holds it like that.
03:54 Yo, yo, what are you talking about, bitch? He acts like we're in the gayest version of speed chess slash rap ever. It's Speed, Doug Loves Movies. Steve, when's Cedar coming out? April 1st, yo. Tom, you have nothing to add? I'm also in Cedar Rapids coming out.
04:20 Me too. I'm not in it Two out of three That's an Ed Helms vehicle Where he plays some sort of like Small town boy who goes to the big city Of Cedar Rapids We say spoiler alert when we say that shit
04:38 The last thing that you want people to know about Cedar Rapids is that it takes place in Cedar Rapids. That is a twist that happens late in the film. It's of Shyamalan dimensions, that twist. Oh shit, I was always in Iowa.
05:01 Good point. But yeah, when does that come out? Do you know? February 11th, right? People are heckling times from the audience and dates that I just heard way in the back corner. February 20th? Who just thought like a romantic movie won't be out
05:18 for Valentine's Day? Oh, that's a good movie to get it on to. But Cedar Rapids, but both of you, Tom and Ali, are in it, but not in any scenes together. No. No, we were on the set together. One day. Yeah.
05:34 That's cool. Oh, it was amazing. An hour. Here's something I'll say about me. If you go see Cedar Rapids, which you will, because you're those kind of people if you're listening to this and or sitting here. I'm wearing six inch Frankenstein like boots
05:52 in every scene that I'm in. Because you're playing you're in scenes with regular sized people? Yes. Yes. That's exactly right. Keep in mind, audience here, And they need to make you measure up to their regularness. Keep in mind, audience here, Steve Agee is 5'8". Stand up.
06:15 So, put that in perspective. I am standing next to Tom. That's... Thanks for talking us through it. Expert level would have dropped the mic after that joke. Nope. You really are.
06:35 You're very eight mile tonight, I got to say. Oh, shit. Yeah, put the hood up. Let's play some cards. Yeah. No, listen. Yeah, put the hood up. Let's play some cards. Yeah. Listen, I want to thank you, Steve, for bringing another awesome actress from Whip It to my podcast.
06:51 You bet. Yeah, he brought Ellen Page on the show. Oh, Ellen Page. And as you know, she hasn't stopped talking about it since she did it. It was the biggest thing that happened to her last year. Yeah. Inception, whatever.
07:05 I was on Doug Loves Movies. She wouldn't stop talking about it everywhere she went. Do you know her, Alia? Yeah. You're like best friends, right? In some ways, yeah. So she brought me up to you a lot, right? Sure.
07:20 Sure she did. She was like Steve's friend. Everyone, of course, knows you as maybe from Arrested Development. Sure she did. She was like Steve's friend. But I everyone of course knows you as maybe from Arrested Development. Thank you. You've seen the show. That's good.
07:39 As Ellen, as Bliss's friend Posh, is that how you pronounce it? Pash. Oh, short for passion? That's what she used to say that how you pronounce it? Pash. Pash? Like passion. Yeah. Oh, short for passion? That's what she used to say, the real person.
07:48 Oh, okay. Yeah. Oh, because they were based on real people? Yeah, I guess so. I found that out on set, actually. That's the best time to meet the person
07:56 you're playing is when you've already worked it all out and then they show up and go, hey, I'm you. Yeah. You're me.
08:02 That happened once on a Lifetime film I did, sadly. It's true. That happened once on a Lifetime film I did, sadly. It's true. That's the saddest part. It was called Not Like Everyone Else. And the woman, the girl. That was the name of the Lifetime movie?
08:16 Not Like Everyone Else. Not Like Everybody Else, yeah. And the girl, Brandy Blackbear, who I played, showed up like halfway through the shoot. This like dark, ominous girl. And she was like, hey. And I was like, oh, I'm doing a biography of you. So she's an Indian? Yeah. Or did she live in critter country?
08:38 That's why it was so hard to get her out. Look to your left, it's Brandy Black Bear. She was a Chuck E. Cheese animated character. Brandy Blackbear sure has got herself stuck in a sticky situation. Wow. She's having a rough time at high school. Brandy Blackbear. I'm not a witch.
09:03 More pizza. Brandy Blackbear bit off more than she could chew. I'm not a witch more pizza Black Bear bought a bit off more than she could chew and then that's the dip
09:12 that's the they closed Bear Country here in Los Angeles and that was always one of my I love that attraction
09:17 and uh I was at Disney World I was at fucking Disney World and they have it there and I was there
09:24 for one day and I got there and it was like the park closed you're in the Bears. I was at fucking Disney World, and they have it there. And I was there for one day, and I got there, and it was like, the park closed at nine, but the Bears went to bed at eight. It was like a fuck you sign on the door. And I've never been so sad about missing something so lame and inconsequential in my entire life. But, oh, so I was going to say that Comedy Death Ray, you know,
09:46 is the show that's on every Tuesday after this show. And Scott Aukerman of Comedy Death Ray, the stage show in Los Angeles, is now Scott Aukerman, the host of Comedy Death Ray on IFC, where they are showing... Spoiling my mind. Your excitement is palpable.
10:00 Where they are showing reruns of Arrested Development along with... it's not in very good company, it's with some shit shows called Mr. Show and Larry Sanders. So Arrested Development really stands out. It's got a
10:18 modern twist. But anyway, so I just wanted to bring that up, and I also wanted to say that your character in Whip It is very unfair to Ellen Page's character in Whip It is very unfair to Ellen Page's character. Why? Because she did not force you to drink underage drink
10:33 at that event. That wasn't her idea. I don't know how the best friend gets paid for that. Slow down. She left me. She left me for her boyfriend. Yeah, that's weird.
10:45 Why would she want to go get it on with some handsome dude when her friend is inappropriately drunk? I seemed fine. I wasn't that fucked up. I don't know. Your acting was fantastic, because you conveyed how angry you were at her, and you forced her to apologize when she didn't do anything wrong.
11:05 I got what I wanted, though. Yeah, you got what you wanted, and I applaud that. Thank you. Well done. Okay, Tom, is that based on the song Whip It? Or the drug Whip It? No, it's not in the movie.
11:21 It's not in the movie. That would have been neat to have that over a montage of Rollercoaster. It would be good advertising, maybe. I don't think that they called Mother's Ball. What's his name? Mark Mother's Ball and said, hey, what's up? What the fuck could his price possibly have been?
11:33 Price point? Drew Barrymore calls up and says, I want your song for my movie. Okay. What the fuck? Hi, let's act out This phone call That's not cool man That's not cool
11:46 Okay Hi it's Mike Mothersbaugh From De-Evolution Okay hi Hi Drew How's everything I want your song Okay
11:56 If it's called Whip it If you have your song Get it If it's called Whip it Okay Drew You just need like a dick
12:03 I can't understand If he doesn't Hey I can't understand you. B, are you somewhere where someone can get you help? Because I can't understand. I don't understand the words that you're saying to me. Easy breezy beautiful
12:15 cover girl. Okay. Drew, again, on behalf of Devo, I don't understand what you're saying. We're all big fans. Take the dog food dish off your head. Maybe you'll hear me better. The dog food dish. Isn't that what they wear in their heads? Like flower pots.
12:36 They're like futuristic flower pots. They look like Snoopy's dog food dish. So Tom, Steve is two for two now, bringing me amazing actresses. Who can you offer up? That's the only way they'll do my show. No one told me this is some sort of key party where you're supposed to bring... Time out. Bring me young females of some acclaim.
13:05 Oh, my God, no one told me that. Like, oh, you know if you go to Benson's thing, bring somebody to swap. What the fuck is that? No, I thought it was your No, no, there's no swap. You just leave her, right Steve? Oh, so it's like I wish Ellen Page away on a night she will never forget
13:21 after that taping. No, we never spoke again. I trust you, Steve. Oh, bring you a virgin to sacrifice. Well, no. It's not that bad. I'm not a virgin. Do you feel like you've been sacrificed in any way?
13:37 No, definitely not. It's been very pleasant so far, hasn't it? We're pretty early in the show. Let's talk about the most exciting revelation of my day. When I IMDB'd Alia for just
13:54 to see if maybe she was in some interesting stuff when she was younger that I don't remember. Because you know how you catch up to someone. Wait, there's stuff you don't remember, Doug? I'm just saying. I do it every day. Since she was so young on Arrested Development, I thought she might have been a youngster
14:10 in something awesome, and boy, was I right. Oh my God. One of my favorite movies ever. You're the little girl in Three Kings. Yes, I am. Holy shit. I will never...
14:24 The scene where your mother gets shot in the holy shit I will never that scene a slow a slow a scene where your mother gets shot in the head in front of you that was my audition scene and you scream and cry
14:30 over her bloody head on the ground oh fuck that was you yeah that was me I had two broken arms I had two casts Amir's daughter
14:37 she doesn't even have a name just Amir's daughter yeah that's right and uh didn't he have something to call you when he was yelling for you and stuff?
14:45 No, he would say, my daughter, my daughter. My daughter, who I have not yet named. He was like part of the underground resistance. He was coming out of a cave, so I hadn't seen him in a while. Did you have two casts on your arms? Yeah, two. It never really made sense. It looked either like very fashion-forward sleeves
15:05 or two casts. And I couldn't figure out which one it was. The latter is correct. It's supposed to be two casts. Two casts. And I had dirty Vaseline in my hair. For some reason. Yeah, they broke them.
15:15 Both of them. And killed my mom. And took my dad away. It was rough. And made her a star. Exactly. Small price to pay. We did all of that for you. I made her a star. Exactly. Small price to pay. We did all of that for you.
15:28 I wanted it that bad. A scene we'll never forget until Doug IMDB's it. IMDB'd that shit, and then I slapped it into the DVD player. You got a refresher? No, DVD. It's old school. You watched it again? And I watched your scene, yeah.
15:46 Oh, wow. I knew it. That's a super movie. As soon as it was like, I saw Amir's daughter on a thing, I was like, no fucking way. Because that's so awesome that you did such a good job in that part, and terrible that adults would make you do that. The audition scene. And come down here and cry over your bleeding mother.
16:05 It was pretty depressing. My mom had to whisper sad sense memories into my ear to make me cry. Oh no! Like a dog that died or something? My mom is a good mom, okay? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Jury's still out on that. But okay.
16:22 But yeah, she used to tell me things my grandma said before she died and stuff. Oh. I'm just letting you know what it's like to be a child actor. That's what you had to do. What kind of things did your grandma say? I don't like my grandchildren.
16:36 Unless she's a famous actress. I don't love her. We're dying out. But that must have been, that must have set the bar at a crazy level for you. Like every movie you've made since or anything you've done has been less torture than that.
16:53 That's true. Because it was so dramatic and also or not as extreme acting scenes out in the middle of the desert. Yeah. Three months out there. And who did
17:02 who did you get along with the best out there? I would say Ice Cube if I had to guess. I would say Spike Jonze. Oh, funny story. Did you bond with Spike Jonze? Well, he was, like, I was nine, you know what I mean? So everyone was nice to me.
17:17 But, like, I saw Spike Jonze, like, a year ago. And I went up to him and I was like, hey, I know this is weird, but, like, I was a little girl in Three Kings. And he was so nice. He was, like, hey, I know this is weird, but I was a little girl in Three Kings and he was so nice. He was like, so, and we hung out since then. And he's very friendly. But he... He's very friendly. But no,
17:36 when we were shooting, I wasn't really friends with anyone but my mom. And then there was like stunt guys who were really nice. There was this one guy who went to clown college and he was like a fake Saddam Hussein soldier and he would do like head spins for me. I remember that.
17:53 Were you in enough scenes that they needed, did they have like a midget double for you or something? Yeah, they did. She was like a small Asian woman and she used to jump out of vans for me and stuff. For you. Steve, do you think you can get her to come on the show with you next time? I'll make some calls.
18:11 Small Asian double woman? Yeah. And so did you see Clooney and David O. Russell fighting with each other? Famous fight. I did. I was playing with sand or something at the time. I just remember getting dirty and looking over and all these... Because the fight was over...
18:34 David used to get really mean to extras and stuff and kind of yell at them. And I guess he yelled at someone for not doing their job right. And George used to... Sorry for calling them by their first names. They don't even know who i am anymore but like george was like defending them because he was always like let's call them oh and clunes oh and clunes okay so oh was doing his job and was like he was like no you're blah blah blah and like oh was yelling at them and then clunes freaked out clunes got really upset and he like was defending him
19:06 and they got in this huge fight over the way he was speaking to the extras and stuff. But that was like identical to the scene they were shooting how like the, you know, people start arguing and George Clooney tries to break it up
19:18 and then it leads to horrible violence. I wouldn't be surprised if O was like, roll camera, just roll it. But so how did at that same time, because I'm sure Clooney and Wahlberg are and continue to be pretty tight, how at that same time did Wahlberg
19:32 and David O. Russell, like while Clooney was being pushed away by David O. Russell, because I don't think they'll ever work together again. Really? That's the impression I get from Clooney. He said that a lot. His quote is, life's too short. Wow.
19:46 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the man also worked with Michelle Pfeiffer. That was the first thing I could think of. That was the first thing I could think of. It didn't even make sense.
19:58 No, but you know what I'm saying? So like, did you see Mark Wahlberg and David O. Russell secretly bonding? Was young Alia looking up from her sandcastle
20:08 I was going maybe one day they'll do a film together what really brings out Mark's talent yeah maybe they'll keep making movies together I didn't have that much
20:17 of a thought process at the time I was still focusing on crying but it's just interesting to me like when Wahlberg and Clooney get to
20:22 when the Wahl and Cloones get together do they the Wahl and Cloones get together, do they sit around and talk about like, yeah, you're right, David's a dick. He's like, I like him. I've made three amazing movies with him. You go ahead and do your Peacemakers and your Americans, and I'll make amazing movies that'll never be forgotten.
20:46 Tom, you look like you have something to say. No, I was just trying to do Men Who Stare at Goats in a Mark Wahlberg accent, but I couldn't do it. Sounds like a baby Mark Wahlberg. No, no, that's a good time.
20:58 Go do that. No, that was just Chicago where I'm from. I've never nailed that. My Mark Wahlberg is either The Happening or what's his name doing Mark Wahlberg? Oh, yeah, The Happening... I've never known. My Wahlberg is either The Happening or what's his name doing Mark Wahlberg?
21:07 Oh, yeah, The Happening. I've never seen The Happening. But the guy on SNL, Sandberg, doing Wahlberg. But in The Happening, it's just all just like, there's something going on
21:15 with the trees. Very good. That was very good. What's happening with the trees? Just very sincere and concerned about everything.
21:23 There's one line where this woman is like, are you going to kill me in my sleep? She was like, did you take out the trash? And he's like, no. And she's like, are you going to kill me in my sleep? And he's like, what? No! I used to watch that over and over again.
21:39 Because he would say it as if it was no big deal. He was just like, what? No! No! I can't convince her he won't do that. As opposed to, that's insane. say it as if it was like no big deal. He was just like, what? No! No! No! I can't convince her he won't do that. As opposed to, that's insane. I love it. I would have killed her for asking me that question.
21:57 I love that you're so young that you've practiced a happening impression for years. Did I say years? To me, like, that movie just came out. I was like, oh, you know, that one. I think the trees are going to kill us. Am I going to... Steve looked at me like,
22:12 are you going to take that? Yep. Yeah, I'm going to. He doesn't know how old I am. We got to play the Leonard Mullen game here in a second, but in fact, right now. That was the second.
22:26 Yeah. I was going to ask you guys if you've seen any movies lately, but you have Young Ollie, so you don't go to the cinema much. No, but I'm a member of all the unions, so I got some screeners. Oh, so what was your favorite screener? Like, what's your Oscar pick? My hands down Oscar pick is going to be, oh, and I know
22:41 you got shit about this from somebody in San Francisco. I really thought The Social Network was really and I know you got shit about this from somebody in San Francisco. I really thought the social network was really great. Who gave me shit about social network? You were so high you don't remember that? Skillets. Oh, wow. Yeah, that was good. A bunch of people, I guess. Social network's good.
22:59 It's really good. And to me, it's more... It's rewatchable to a degree that as much as i appreciate king's speech and i don't have a problem with king's speech winning anything like it can win everything and i'm like okay yeah that was good but it's just not the kind of movie i'm ever gonna watch again because you don't see ever because there's no bush that's correct if you want hell on that bottom part of bush there's plenty of places to go my main thing about the king's speech was like okay okay, okay, where's the Bush?
23:26 Come on, man. You introduced... You're like Joe Pesci watching that movie? Yeah. Where's the Bush? Where's the Bush? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where's the fucking Bush here? Where is it already? Where's the fucking Bush?
23:39 There ain't no fucking Bush. Okay, I know that Edward VII is going to abdicate. That's amazing. Oh my God. Do I look like a Bush clown to you? A bunch... Oh my god, a bunch of these ladies are like getting ready for him to abdicate. Alright, I have to tell
23:55 everybody the prizes that are in today's prize bag, because it's insane. While I explain what all the prizes are, why don't you guys all go pick a name tag out of the audience that you would like to play for and just take it from them. That was really scary the way everyone was... That's taped to that guy's chest.
24:11 That might be violent. Brennan has a tape card. Jesus Christ. Pang! Look, Pang is here. Mike, I like that one. Rose. All right, this is what is going to be played for.
24:22 An I Love You Man crew hat. Yeah, with crew sweat in it. That's some legit shit. Friend of the show, Ruzi. Are you here tonight, Ruzi? Oh, yeah. Oh, shit. Ruzi's always here. He gave me some shirts that say government
24:39 on them. Yeah, and I think that's a weed thing. And then I've got my CD, of course. Doug Betts' Professional Humor 80 and on them. Yeah. And that's, I think that's a weed thing. And, and then I've got my CD, of course, Doug Betts' Professional Humor,
24:50 80 and available on AST Records. And Steve Agee brought a signed copy of a Sarah Silverman program script for the amazing episode called Wowchwitz. I think that was
25:00 the last episode of the series written by Brian. Written by Brian Posehn, of course. And then Alia brought a copy of... It's quite embarrassing. I don't know why.
25:11 Of The Young Ones on DVD. A bunch of Young Ones episodes. Yeah, so... You gotta give some background on those. She stole it. Yeah, yeah, clarify. I did steal it. She stole it from a place.
25:21 We're not gonna name names, but... Brooklyn Video in Brooklyn. Oh, why would you? You don't have to return it. How many Brooklyn videos are there in Brooklyn? That is an adorable name tag you have on your forehead. That's why I have pictures already. Oh, it's like Indiana Jones.
25:37 Is it a girl, Abro? Is your last name Labine? Labro Labine. I'm playing, Labine. Labril Labine. I'm playing for Abril Labine. And she made her, I gotta tell the listeners, because this is awesome, she made her name tag look like
25:52 Indiana Jones font. And I'm even going to take a picture of it. Indiana Jones font. I'm going to put it on the internet someday. Here we go. Wow, that's... Wait a second. You guys, you're distracting from...
26:14 Wow, bummer. You guys are the worst extras in a scene ever. Okay, and we also have from IFC Films, Joan Rivers' A Piece of Work. Look for IFC Films. That's good. Peep World. I called it Peep Show last time.
26:35 Sarah was insulted. Peep World is going to be out soon, February 19th on demand. And also, the winner tonight will also get four tickets to the fix-up show at the Acme Theater here in Los Angeles next February 9th. I think that's a Wednesday.
26:55 Next Wednesday, 8 o'clock. So hopefully you and three of your friends can attend that. Not to brag, that's on La Brea. And watch it's on La Brea. And watch me set up some, fix up some people. Does one person win all of this? One person gets everything in that bag.
27:13 Wow. Yeah, that's why they're all still holding up their name tags like they're giving a second chance or some shit. I'm going to go with the iPhone. Oh, you guys haven't done it yet? I told you to do it already. Okay, so you've been talking so long ago. I feel like I should win for fucking doing it when it got said.
27:28 Yeah, you should win for that. Gordon. Gordon really wants the young ones. Talk about Gordon Lightfoot. He just jumped off the stage. Gordon. It's some of the lightest feet I've ever seen. I'm Gordon.
27:41 I'm Gordon. Who are you playing for? Sean. Steve is playing for Sean. It says, hello, my name is Sean on his phone. Can't remember, but I think it's Abril. Abril. Oh, there's a cartoon drawing on the back of this, too.
27:53 It's a sketch. It's a sketch. If Alia wins, she's also going to flash Gordon. Sorry. Damn it, Steve. I'm sorry. I couldn't. Now I have to.
28:03 Gordon Revis is coming fast and furious. Now it is really eight mile. While I think of one more. But see, I just asked him to bring a nice young lady. I don't insist that he make that scenario happen. I mean, I'm not going to argue with it. All right. Oh, shit.
28:24 Oh, I'm sorry. I just thought I saw the bat signal coming from Commissioner Gordon over there, but I didn't. Is this going to happen a lot for the rest of the show? Yeah, it is. It was just a trick of the light. Or a trick of the night. Trick of the light. Or a trick of the night.
28:50 I hope the end is in sight. Vaginas. God damn it. You win every single word rap battle. Oh shit. Vaginas trumped whatever I was going to say about Charles Grodin. Which is a slight anagram. It's a slight anagram.
29:14 I'm the middle part. He hopped up here really quick because he had a light foot. I'm the middle part. I fucking opened with that. Where are you? I'm high, man. Just relax. You're fucking high. I fucking opened with that. Where are you? I'm high, man. Just relax.
29:27 I opened with Gordon Lightfoot. Sorry, man. Let's play the game. We'll start with Tom over here. You get to pick a category. Would you like Entertainment Weekly's underrated movies? Yep.
29:47 No more discussion. Let's go. Boom. Would you like Entertainment Weekly's underrated movie from 1990, 1996, or 2001? 2001. Okay. That's only helping your younger competitors. Two stars from this. Two stars.
30:08 For this movie from Leonard. I would say it's not underrated then. It's accurately rated as shitty. It is rated. It's very accurately rated as most of my career. Entertainment Weekly is arguing, or one writer from that magazine is arguing, that this movie was underrated by people like Leonard Maltin, who gave it two stars.
30:32 I'll give you a couple of clues. He says it's about a man. And he says that the stars look great, but is there a point? Stars look great, is there a point? It's about a man. Two stars from Leonard. Underrated, according to EW. And there are... And how many guest stars to how many supporting characters do we get to pick?
30:57 Ten names. Ten. Ten names, all the way up to... I'll do it in... Including, probably... I can do it in four. Five.

31:53 I'll say four. Okay, so you could either make Steve name it or say less names. What do you want, Steve? Say less names. I say less names? Yeah, say like three or... Less than four. Two or one, yeah.
32:07 Less than four. Anything less than four. I'm just playing for my homie Chicken Gordon Blue over there. Or you could say... Don't listen to him, Gordon. Don't let him get to you. Or you could just say
