Starting point is 00:00:00 Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seeds With 50 acid pop-up kernels in his teeth They're still not warm, then he won't sleep Because Doug loves movies Hey everybody Hey Hey, everybody. They're all kind of... Can you give me a little more heat on this? I should have been here for sound check.
Starting point is 00:00:36 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 before the weekly show Comedy Death Ray. It's January. I just, when I got to that, I thought
Starting point is 00:00:52 that was going to come out weird to be like, before the weekly Comedy Death Ray, I thought it would sound like I'm saying it, that the show is feeble and can't fight for the weekly Comedy Death Ray. It's January 4, 2011, the year after Lithgow,
Starting point is 00:01:12 and I've been getting a lot of tweets asking if the Benson interruption will return to Comedy Central, and the answer is, I don't know. But in the meantime, you can see the Benson interruption live at Largo in Los Angeles on Monday, January 10th at 9 o'clock or at the Eureka Theater in San Francisco as part of
Starting point is 00:01:32 SF Sketch Fest on January 28th at 10.30pm and January 30th at 4.20pm and I'll probably be interrupting the other comics at my shows. I've been doing that lately just because now that people have seen me do it on television and they're not as annoyed by it.
Starting point is 00:01:49 I mean, I just assume. I'll be interrupting the other comics at my shows at Rosita's in Barstow, California. The last episode, I said the wrong date. It's January 15th. Oops, sorry Barstow. And I'll be, rearrange your
Starting point is 00:02:04 plans, Barstow. And that'll be rearrange your plans, Barstow. That's in California, by the way. I don't know if there's Barstows in other states that just freaked out. Comedy Zone in Jacksonville, Florida January 18th. Common Grounds in Gainesville January 19th.
Starting point is 00:02:19 Really? And the Back Booth in Orlando January 20th. Yeah, Orlando, they have theme parks. Before I bring out tonight's guests, I'd like to mention that Patton Oswalt's book, Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, is in stores now. Buy it.
Starting point is 00:02:43 Yeah. In it, Patton writes, I think it's in the thank yous or the forward or. Buy it. Yeah. In it, Patton writes, I think it's in the thank yous or the foreword or somewhere in it. I haven't read the whole thing yet, but it's good. I'm not a reader.
Starting point is 00:02:55 But I am a quoter. And what he wrote at one point was, I hang out with comedians, the best version of life you can live. Yeah, I thought that was nice. And my guests tonight are three comedians I've had the pleasure to hang out with comedians, the best version of life you can live. Yeah, I thought that was nice. And my guests tonight are three comedians I've had the pleasure to hang out with on many occasions. And I enjoy talking to them always.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Please welcome Wayne Fetterman, Andy Kindler, and Dana Gould. Yeah, all three of them. Door or curtain, either way, it's fine. Wow. This is like a wrestling match or something. You guys should have had separate walk-in music. It's nothing more fun for the podcast listener than the guests just wandering around in the crowd, shaking hands and saying hello.
Starting point is 00:03:49 That's why I don't watch Leno anymore, because I fall asleep before he's done shaking hands with the crowd. That's not, he's retired. Stop making jokes. Oh, okay. Why is Dick Benson making fun of me on his podcast? Name his sidekick. Name his sidekick. Quick. Who's his current sidekick? Black musician. He has a sidekick? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Oh, okay. Does Stuttering John work on that show? No, I think he's done. He's finished. Yeah. I don't even think they give the announcer that amazing platform that they gave that guy. John Hall? Just introduce everybody and say, and I'm so-and-so,
Starting point is 00:04:25 and then have nothing else to do. We came here to talk about movies. You come for Iron Jay, you stay for jaywalking. Is that one of the promos? Whoever's on, I feel like I'm watching Rascal Flats. I'm not sure what that means, but I like that.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Even during the sit down interviews Yeah just always There's always a rascal flat Somebody has a bedazzler Well like I said We're here to talk about movies Right The three of you are in a movie
Starting point is 00:04:58 That's currently available On DVD Is it on Blu-ray also? It's called Inception I'm not in it. Check it out. There's many levels to it. You think you're asleep, but you're not, really.
Starting point is 00:05:11 But you are. Wait a second. So are you one of the Inception deniers like me? What does that mean? That you didn't care for it that much? Didn't care for it? It's horrible. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:05:21 That's awesome. Didn't care for it? That's enough. That's enough. We don't need to push people all that hard. Are you telling me you didn't enjoy Leonardo DiCaprio's leaden, lifeless, humorless performance?
Starting point is 00:05:34 I'm in a serious movie, so everything I say will be serious. He's exactly right. I didn't see it again. Once again, I score. You didn't see that movie. As long as you didn't see it, you're not taking any risks of offending anyone. That exactly right. I didn't see it again. Once again, I score. You didn't see that movie. Yeah, as long as you didn't see it, you're not taking any risks of offending anyone. That's right.
Starting point is 00:05:49 I don't know. Sounds like some people enjoy it and some don't. That's America. Oh, Jay. Dana, did you see Shutter Island? I did see Shutter Island. And how's he in that? Well, that was a double ghastly because that's also...
Starting point is 00:06:09 When a guy that doesn't make horror movies tries to make a horror movie, they try to do it better and they do it wrong. You know, it would be like... Like it seems more like a crazy movie than a horror movie. Yeah, they just do everything. Yeah, it's just everything is crazy in it. Yeah, at the time I said I'm not going to go because I think it's just two hours of people throwing rats at Leonardo DiCaprio.
Starting point is 00:06:31 And that bad, like, remember when, and everything, every camera thing is, like, remember Natural Born Killers where you just wanted to go, stop directing! Just let me see the movie for a minute. Everything is a different film stock. Or, no, I'm like even... I'm the director of this. Don't forget.
Starting point is 00:06:47 Even anything Michael Bay does. It's like, hey, were you looking at that for more than a second? What the fuck were you looking at? Yeah, what are you looking at? I've got a million things I want to show you now. Don't stop and read the Bible during my movie. I got one, Doug. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Plantation Shutter Island. Am I right? Plantation Shutter Island is actually a small installation at Ikea. Hey, I don't know if you know this. I grew up in Plantation, Florida. That's where I'm from. And most of your friends? Retired. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:07:24 That's an old joke. And most of your friends Retired Exactly It's an old joke You guys Have a Jew off On your own time No right That's new French Dana Gould is not Jewish I always find that
Starting point is 00:07:34 Fascinating I can't believe That he's not Jewish I know I just can't believe it You said Could you guys Just recruit him tonight
Starting point is 00:07:39 Or something No he's so Put him through The hazing ritual Why won't I sign up With you guys Is that the Oh that's Jesus Is that the post modern Who are these people Put him through the hazing ritual? Why won't I sign up with you guys? Is that the post-modern who are these people?
Starting point is 00:07:49 Good podcast humor. That was me doing the crucifixion. That was for the listeners, the crucifixion pose. The Jews are very tough on Jews that go outside the lines. That's true. I don't color outside the lines. But I feel as a comedian,
Starting point is 00:08:03 I'm sort of an honorary. And I'm Irish. outside the line. But I feel as a comedian, I'm sort of an honorary. Right, you're not. And I'm Irish, so it's like, it's just, I'm Catholic, so it's shame guilt. Yeah, yeah. Can you preface everything you say from now on as a comedian? Because I plan to. As a comedian. Well, it's also the other version of like when you're on the road with a guy that's
Starting point is 00:08:21 been on the road two times. Hi, we're the comedians. We'd like to see the matinee. Oh, we're the comedians. We'd like to see the matinee. Oh, we're the comedians. Oh my God. One time I was with Arch Barker in Illinois somewhere in Chicago.
Starting point is 00:08:31 It's a good movie story. It's a good movie story. No, it is. We went to see the first Jackass. Oh yeah. Matinee. Matinee ticket
Starting point is 00:08:39 at this place was like Vernon Hills, Illinois. Matinee ticket was $3.75 and he talked his way in. And this is how he talks his way in and he does this everywhere he goes.
Starting point is 00:08:51 He goes, he always says, hi, I'm Arch Barker. I'm a guest of the city. I have to remember that. And usually the 14-year-old taking tickets at the door or the guy in the wheelchair at the door, whoever it is, on the road they hire a lot of wheelchair people to take tickets.
Starting point is 00:09:10 It is true. They can get you fast because a lot of those aisles are slanted down. So if you cause trouble, they just take off. No, no, no. They're way out in that gigantic lobby that every theater has for no reason now. It's the hugest lobby you've ever seen. It's like Lenny Riefenstahl. And the movie's on 14 of those 18 screens, so you don't really have lines.
Starting point is 00:09:32 But the point is that he would baffle that person with that line of thinking, with that logic. They'd go, what? I'm a guest of the city. Oh, okay. It would always work just because they'd be so confused by it. I use the SAG Awards all year long. The SAG Awards. You say you're a SAG Award.
Starting point is 00:09:57 Yeah, I'm on the SAG nominating committee. I'm supposed to get in to see the movies. And that gets you into Paranormal Activity 2? I'm supposed to get in to see the movies. And that gets you into Paranormal Activity 2? Who in Yogi Bear is nominated at the SAG Awards? Am I the only person here that has seen Yogi Bear? I am not. But I saw the phenomenal promotional thing they did on the whip.
Starting point is 00:10:19 Oh, well, that was, yeah. So you think that somebody from Yogi Bear made that? No. How could anyone from Warner Brothers be involved with something that looks exactly like it? But everything's really slow and kind of cheesy. I have to assume. You guys have seen it, right? When Yogi Bear gets shot by Boo Boo and it's like the assassination of the coward by Jesse James Ford.
Starting point is 00:10:41 Yeah, but... Benjamin Bybel. Is there anyone that thinks it's... And other movies I haven't seen A promo based That I haven't seen When do you ever Go to the movies?
Starting point is 00:10:49 The movie itself When the movies come to me That's when I go to them I don't feel I'm exaggerating Andy Daly's excellent performance Notwithstanding In the movie Notwithstanding
Starting point is 00:10:59 I like DJ Miller I like that guy from Ed Is in it But the story Of the movie I don't feel I'm exaggerating when I say it's worse than a million 9-11s. Oh.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Oh. You're not exaggerating. You're not exaggerating. And I saw it. I'd say a thousand tops. We were getting ready for the Christian holiday of Christmas. And my wife and I just got in some ripping argument about,
Starting point is 00:11:30 I don't even know, it was something, fucking, fucking, you fucking say fucking ribbons. Fuck you, fuck, fuck, fuck. She loves Hannah, you can't stand Barbera. Come on, isn't that what it was? But it was just some horrifying, horrible argument. And it was just like, I don't know. I didn't buy wrapping paper.
Starting point is 00:11:46 I'm getting an apartment. And I took the, come on. And I took my two oldest daughters to Yogi Bear just to get the fuck out of the house. And I was the only person. I was the only person. If they were watching the audience, like when they do that at testing, it's in the middle of Yogi Bear that some guy's just like,
Starting point is 00:12:07 fuck does she think she is? Fuck does she fucking think she fucking is? Fucking asshole. Fuck her. Just the whole way through. I didn't, I just ruined my enjoyment of the movie. You can't blame the movie on that then.
Starting point is 00:12:20 That's true. No, that's true. It must have been good. But the movie, the movie made it worse because now I have the time lost in the argument and the time lost at Yogi Bear.
Starting point is 00:12:30 You don't get to the end of your life and go like, I saw Yogi Bear. I get another 80 minutes. I love T.J. Miller though. I love T.J. Miller. I sat through Cloverfield the other day on TV in my hotel room because I like TJ Miller
Starting point is 00:12:45 so much it was fun to listen to him narrate the whole thing they don't know what Cloverfield is you can't take your kids to Cloverfield
Starting point is 00:12:56 although only one of you has kids but I still think of Wayne and Andy as people they seem like they have kids I play a dad on commercials.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Bobby, Bobby, don't go near the edge. Is that good? I'm on commercials. What product was that? What product was that? Something that rescues your kids from the rest. It was actually... It was for Edge, the shaving cream.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Don't go near the edge. Don't go near my edge. All right, okay. It's so incredibly potent. Because it starts as a gel. Yeah. Next thing you know, there's a razor. It's very violent.
Starting point is 00:13:37 It's a good spot. The first blade teases the whisker. The second blade shames the whisker. The third blade rapes and humiliates the whisker. The second blade shames the whisker. The third blade rapes and humiliates the whisker. The fourth blade tells the whisker's friends it wanted it. Allowing the sixth blade to further
Starting point is 00:13:53 shame the whisker. Just cut the whisker. One of those commercials goes, are you tired of the pull and tug? No, I am not. Not at all. That's all I have I like one more than the other You do
Starting point is 00:14:09 Hey Yeah I like a tug Pull gets a little arduous I'm sure But just tug it I was actually thinking on the way down I was like, you know
Starting point is 00:14:16 They say God is always with you I'm sure he takes breaks I'm sure when he sees me like Get online to look at some porn He's like, well, I'm good for an hour I'm gonna I'm gonna go make a tuna sandwich I to look at some porn, he's like, well, I'm good for an hour. I'm going to go make a tuna sandwich.
Starting point is 00:14:26 I love whenever God's conversational. Hey, listen. And the doorknob's saying, don't turn me. And the doorknob's thinking, I have a movie question for you guys.
Starting point is 00:14:35 Oh, please. When did Jeff Bridges... This is not the time nor the place. When did Jeff Bridges become every age all at once? Yeah, no, off camera, yes.
Starting point is 00:14:47 But why is it so? He plays every age in the movies right now. And he talks like this in interviews. I know. It was quite a movie there. He's from LA. He went to Hollywood High School. I gotta tell you though,
Starting point is 00:15:01 that was quite a road of furbies. Come on, you guys know. Wait, we're supposed to, that wasn't rhetorical? It happened last October 17th. I'll jot that down. You really wanted an answer to that? No, I just think. He has that.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Explaining why Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow are British now or whatever. You know, like it's just, those things happen. He also has that sort of denture slippage, but I'm not sure he has dentures, but he has that sort of sloppy that Sean Connery had. Listen now. Sham. Sham. Here's the other thing.
Starting point is 00:15:35 The things that drive me crazy are the stories people tell when they get ready for the movie roles. Is that your beef? That's my beef currently. Oh, the Paltrow's fingers. Her fingers were bleeding when she had to play guitar. Oh, she had to learn to play guitar. It was terrible.
Starting point is 00:15:48 That's superhuman. That's so special. Her husband wouldn't help. Come on, he's in Coldplay. Yeah, I love that. Did we read that same piece of shit article or see the same entertainment? Because she says, I go to my husband
Starting point is 00:16:02 and ask him to help me with my singing and my guitar, and he's like, nah, that's's not I don't want to get involved Coldplay Coldplay's that amazing that he can't help his gifted wife yeah like that takes a lot of focus the mother of his fucking apple children famous people are the worst
Starting point is 00:16:24 it's almost like they sit around discussing now when we go let's do some interviews Famous people are the worst. It's almost like they sit around discussing. Now, when we go, let's do some interviews and say that you didn't even help me to become the great country singer that I am. Country Strong. Doesn't that sound like it's a movie about somebody who smells bad? Or a kind of ham.
Starting point is 00:16:41 That is Country Strong. Please open the window. Crack it, country. Crack it, country style. First whiff out of the hamper when you open the lid. Country strong. Christ.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Do you have one, Andy? Oh. This country seems weak. I don't know. Whatever you think. Just take something and what i'm saying and mash it up but uh but you know what celebrities will talk about uh and i know this uh because i'm married and i've had to watch oprah you never see regular people sit around going i just realized i wasn't living in my truth right
Starting point is 00:17:23 maybe it's time you stop doing the first part of that sentence I just realized I wasn't living in my truth. Right. Maybe it's time you stopped doing the first part of that sentence. You want them to die? Yes. I do. You want them to die? A lot of people here. We can do without Portia de Rossi.
Starting point is 00:17:38 Fine. Oh. Wow. The 9-11 thing. She was the person that was on the TV talking about not living in her truth. And I couldn't help thinking that somewhere
Starting point is 00:17:49 within a 10-mile square radius of where she was complaining about living in her truth, there was some 80-year-old guy in a nursing home having a fucking orgasm because he found an apple. You know?
Starting point is 00:17:59 You know, it's like, let's kind of balance things out a little bit. Man, I hope it goes down like that when I'm older. There's apples everywhere. It goes down like that? Is that what you're going to be saying when you're older?
Starting point is 00:18:17 Goes down like that? How's it going to go down? I hope shit goes down that way. Uh-oh. We're not old and gray. You know how old people, you know how excited old people get when they see apples?
Starting point is 00:18:28 What? They don't because they can't chew them because they have bad, they have no teeth. And then they come and there's the fruit. No, that's when they find it.
Starting point is 00:18:36 When they eat it, they just eat it. That's just normal. If they can't, if they can barely walk, why are they wearing running shoes all the time? You make a good point.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Segway into a anecdote about Cocoon now. I was going to tell you that Jeff Bridges does voiceovers for a car company and he doesn't follow Jeff Bridges' country strong.
Starting point is 00:18:59 He's not in country strong. He's in crazy art. He's in everything right now. Is he in country strong? I love him in Country Strong. He is in Country Strong. He's in everything right now. Is he in Country Strong? I love him in Tangled. He's great in The King's Speech. Okay, all three of you are in a movie. That's why the first time has taken me this long
Starting point is 00:19:16 to get to the theme of a show. You are all three in a documentary that I saw recently that I actually quite enjoyed called I Am Comic. And one guy. One guy. Yeah. It's a very entertaining documentary. I play a young, untested
Starting point is 00:19:34 district attorney. It's a documentary about stand-up comedy. What? And yeah. They didn't tell you that when they were filming you? They filmed you on the set of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Right. Where you were writing at that time, but now you have since moved on.
Starting point is 00:19:52 Yeah, I'm still opening for Jimmy. They don't have a thing at the end of the movie. I know, I know. American Graffiti. Carrie Topp has continued to work at the... Yeah. Got more props. Nobody's sure where Tommy Davidson went.
Starting point is 00:20:09 I'm just like, Tommy Davidson is still talking. Yeah, he's crazy good in it. More crazy than good. You know what I mean? He's crazy good, but those are two separate thoughts. Yes. He's both of those things.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Gallagher, too, dropped his lawsuit against Gallagher, too, dropped his lawsuit against Gallagher. So, Dana, you're the very first person to speak in the movie. Indeed. Doing some of your stand-up. Is that Hermosa Beach Comedy and Magic Club? No, that's at the little theater adjacent to the improv. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Really? Yeah. Jordan Brady can paint with light. He just makes you think you're anywhere. Because that red curtain looks really, it's quite gorgeous. I just thought you were somewhere nice. Well, he was trying to show you that you could do, well, that's funny you noticed that. He was just trying to prove that it's not difficult to make a good comedy club environment.
Starting point is 00:20:56 Right, and he had Todd Glass come in, but that happens like in the middle of the movie, and we never see the result. We never see like, and now here there are people doing comedy in this beautiful new space we invented, except for the clip of you in the beginning. No, no, no. At the end. At the very end you see it? Yeah, the whole.
Starting point is 00:21:12 I thought you said you never saw it. No, that's Inception. Oh, I'm thinking, I'm sorry. I was sure it was another level. Now, I'm also the guy that was in Drag Me to Hell. You were? Yeah. That movie was freaky.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Was that Meat Loaf's segment? No, the same guy that's in Drag Me to Hell is also were? Yeah. That movie was freaky. Was that Meat Loaf's segment? No, the same guy that's in Drag Me to Hell is also in Inception. The Indian guy. That's what I was saying. The Indian guy. In this day and age. But I have a great Indian guy. Really? Really, Daniel? Did you say in this day and age? In this day and age.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Yeah, I'm the new Norm Crosby. Exactly what I'm doing now. Very astutiating experience. Very quick story. Not funny. You're the new Norm Crosby. Doug, exactly what I'm doing now. Very astutiating experience. Very quick story, not funny. You're the new Norm Crosby. My friend, Greg Nicotero,
Starting point is 00:21:51 did the effects in Drag Me to Hell and so I went to the premiere with him. That's not a real movie. Was that a movie? I was at that premiere. We're doing the thing
Starting point is 00:21:58 where he's at the, she's at the dinner with the family and the eye comes out of the kick and he just leans forward and he goes, I made that eyeball.
Starting point is 00:22:09 That's so great. I have friends that aren't comics. I never claimed that you had looking at you. That was one quote in the Judy Carter book that you got wrong. All right, can I ask you something? Wayne has a question. I have a question. There was a movie I saw on HBO.
Starting point is 00:22:24 I don't know if it came out Last year called Post Grad Have you seen that movie? No I haven't Has anybody? What? Was that the sequel To Bachelor of Fine Arts?
Starting point is 00:22:34 No but But it has one of the Craziest lines I've ever Heard in a movie In that there's a scene. Wait, did you like it? No. Okay, good. Because everyone here didn't like it.
Starting point is 00:22:50 In the movie, the girl is very upset because she doesn't get this job after she graduates college. Post-grad. Yeah, she gets post-grad. The guy who likes her goes, hey, there's no disappointment in life that can't be mitigated by biting into an Eskimo pie. Like, wait, wait, that's not the horrible part. Then she goes, I don't know. I don't know what this is. Like she had never had one.
Starting point is 00:23:20 She takes a bite of it. Wait, this gets better. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert. alert spoiler alert i don't wait there's a person that doesn't know what an eskimo spoiler alert she takes a bite wait she takes a bite of the eskimo pie and this is her line she goes oh my god. It's like God just gave birth in my mouth. I swear to God that is a line. That's not a truth. Come on.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Whatever. Use your computers or whatever things you can. Use it. Look it up. Use my Sony Watchman. And I thought that's bullshit because everyone knows. Things evolved though because that line eventually became I just threw up a little in my mouth. Right.
Starting point is 00:24:06 And then every asshole has to say it. That's like a diamond of wrong. That's like a bad line on seven levels. You know, because everyone knows God's a dude, right? That's just ridiculous. That's fucking crazy. So, let's say, the idea of someone giving birth in your mouth, that part, okay, that's available. That guy just gave an ass birth in my mouth.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Hey, Doug, isn't there a movie about a girl, someone after college moves back in with her parents? That's not the same movie, right? You know what I'm talking about? It was like an indie film. Now she's doing a show with Joe Apatow. Oh, Tiny Furniture? That's the accused. Tiny Furniture?
Starting point is 00:24:43 Tiny Furniture. Yes. Tiny Furniture is fantastic. That's a different. Tiny Furniture? Tiny Furniture. Yes. Yeah, that's not that movie, right? That's a different... Tiny Furniture is fantastic. That's not the movie. Do you mean... When you keep saying Tiny Furniture is fantastic,
Starting point is 00:24:53 do you mean the movie? Yes. Or Tiny Furniture? Both. I watched the movie sitting on Tiny Furniture, and I feel like I'm a giant at the movies. But yeah, I saw that at South by Southwest last year. She has a show coming up on HBO, that girl, Lena.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Yeah, she has a show. It's very funny. She's working on something with Judge. She's like... By the way, if you... Very popular. And also for the young filmmakers, made on the 5D and the 7D.
Starting point is 00:25:18 Yeah. That's a little inside information. I did a... What does that mean? That's super inside. Can't you make it... That's not for everybody. Make it for the layman?
Starting point is 00:25:28 I don't know if you remember a little movie called John Tucker Must Die. Hold your applause. They did that thing in the development of that movie. They get the script to the point where all the executives give their notes. No, and that train is stoppable. What? Act three, they hit a hill. I'm a title debunker. I feel like God spit in my mouth.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Is that good? God gave birth in my mouth. Oh, and long story short, that movie had no jokes in it. They took all the jokes out. Because to get it approved, you go through the development process where everybody's just saying their their context well here i am looking for a girl here i am mad at my mother um so i had to go in and i had to literally just like whip jokes out of thin air and put them in the movie because they had no jokes and one one of the jokes, the girls are all sitting around eating chocolate
Starting point is 00:26:25 and I said, I wrote a great joke. I said, look at this. Chocolate covered raisins. Chocolate covered peanuts. Chocolate covered wafers. Chocolate covered graham crackers. Chocolate is a John Tucker of candy. If a new candy comes along, chocolate has to get all up in it.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Good joke. Give that over. Completely perfect. Completely acceptable joke. They sent me the dailies of the movie. They sent me the dailies of the movie and this is how that joke got translated. By Shakira. Is that her name? Anastasia.
Starting point is 00:27:00 He brought in a foreign singer to translate. With the torso script. Whoever the girl was in the movie with one name that hopefully has made enough to get another name. That was her line. And she goes, chocolate is so good. Chocolate is your friend. That's it.
Starting point is 00:27:17 And I said, what happened to the joke? I wrote. Oh, Betty, the director, thought it would be good to let the actors put the jokes in their own words. He said, funny thing about jokes. Specific word construction intrinsic to their success. True.
Starting point is 00:27:35 I'll tell you who that woman was that you saw. Betty Thomas. My wife was the woman that you saw. That was no lady. See, it doesn't work in my own words. I feel like you're mad at this guy still. I am. The people behind
Starting point is 00:27:51 Max Tucker, was that his name? John Tucker. The movie was about four girls mad at this guy that was double-timing them all. And then one guy at the studio said, but we want the guy to be likable. Oh, good. So now it's about nothing. Yeah, the guy's a good guy.
Starting point is 00:28:09 It's about four pretty girls and a guy, and there's a series of practical jokes, and then it's a food fight. What's the big deal? Yeah. We want him to be likable. It's an innocent mistake. He was on Ambien.
Starting point is 00:28:20 That way there's no reason to watch it. You know what was good? John Barleycorn Must Die. That was a good album. Am I right, Traffic? Am I wrong? Am I right about that? that way there's no reason to watch it you know what was good john barleycorn must die now that was a good album am i right traffic am i wrong am i right about that or am i wrong am i right about that as an album or wrong john probably must die traffic quadrophenia by the who good not so good overproduced there i said it so check out I Am Comic it's directed by Jordan Brady
Starting point is 00:28:47 who is also a comedian that we all have known from way back so I'm and I'm not at all offended that I wasn't I didn't get to participate in the film
Starting point is 00:28:56 but he's talking about a sequel so I'm very excited about that because I Am Comic 2 as well I Am Comic as well yes but you guys are all very funny in it and So I'm very excited about that. Because I am comic too. As well. I am comic as well.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Yes, but you guys are all very funny in it. Did you like it? I thought there was some really great stuff in it. And I loved the Rich Scheidner storyline. Because when I started comedy in 2002, when I started comedy, Rich Scheidner was one of my favorite. I opened for that dude once
Starting point is 00:29:27 and he was, he was kind of nice. And he was brilliant. And so to see his whole storyline, I thought was fantastic. And I love the joke about Beth Lapidus
Starting point is 00:29:36 where she says, she's saying everybody back then was working on their tight 10 and then on the, the, you know, the super,
Starting point is 00:29:42 it says only Beth called it the tight 10. Yeah. They, they chyron in little snarky and then on the the super yeah yeah it says only Beth called the titan yeah they chyron in little snarky comments from time to time it was very but a lot of
Starting point is 00:29:52 most of the time they sort of let the comics I was referencing Tommy Davidson earlier because for whatever reason when he gets interviewed he decides to just go off and be
Starting point is 00:30:00 very strange and so it's very it's very entertaining on a couple levels he went Mork. Yeah, he goes Mork which has only been allowed only one person
Starting point is 00:30:11 could ever be allowed to go Mork and even that went on for too long. But they brought in Jonathan Winters just to Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:30:20 This is what we'll do. We'll get an old man to play your baby. That's going to save Mork and Mindy. All right, we got to play the Leonard Mullen game,
Starting point is 00:30:29 you guys. Let's do it. We got to play. Let's do it. We didn't even get to talk about Black Swan. What do you want to say about Black Swan?
Starting point is 00:30:36 Just say it real quick. Well, I was just, I thought it was going to be a good movie when I went. And then when I realized it wasn't a good movie, it was just like a fake movie.
Starting point is 00:30:45 It's a crazy movie. It's like about madness, kind of. No. It's a ballet horror movie. It's a ballet suspense thriller. I don't know why the Golden Globes didn't nominate it for comedy or musical.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Is it a good-natured romp? Is it a good-natured romp? Well, there's a good-natured romp? Is it a good-natured romp? Well, there's a good-natured romp at one point between two ladies. I enjoyed that part. I sort of liked her self-romp. Yeah, when she self-romps laying face down?
Starting point is 00:31:19 I didn't even know girls did that. That was possible, yeah. I thought it was more just like you close your eyes and there's one fast finger going, but I didn't know you could actually get on top of your own hand like that. Fast finger self-romping?
Starting point is 00:31:33 That's a good expression. Nothing sexier than hearing Wayne talk about women's masturbation. Including the prize package tonight, Andy Kindler's I Wish I Was Bitter. That's in there. That's something you can win. Why'd someone laugh at it like it was a fake thing?
Starting point is 00:31:47 It's a real... I brought a copy of Inception, the shooting script. Try to stay awake. This was so clearly given to you, but you're in the guild. Yeah, yeah. I'm just playing it forward. And this is a book called Fired that Wayne brought. And it's got a bunch of very funny people in it. I'm in playing it forward. And this was, this is a book called Fired that Wayne brought and it's got a bunch of
Starting point is 00:32:07 very funny people in it. I'm in that book. And then, oh, Dana Gould is in it. So there you go. Are you supposed to bring like Why am I looking at the back? No reason.

Let me romp my thoughts up you. I brought another little Woot Monkey keychain. That's cute. That is cute. And I got a bunch of them, so I'll bring one every week until I don't have any.
Starting point is 00:32:47 Look at this. And then this is an album, actual physical album by Dana Gould. It's called Fun House. You can scratch it. Yeah, if you're a DJ, this is really going to come in handy. If you're a DJ and you're at a breakdancing show. A bar mitzvah DJ would be good. Who needs a new cartridge for their turntable?
Starting point is 00:33:07 I know I do. So somebody's going to win all of this. Andy Kindler, pick out a name tag that you'd like to play for in the audience and go get it from them. Oh, there's some. Shane. Shane. All right, Shane, you did it.
Starting point is 00:33:20 You got chosen. Was I not supposed to say Shane? Is this right? Yeah, go get it from them. Okay, they're going to have their names on a. On a right? Yeah go get it from him Okay they're gonna have Their names on a On a what? Some people do it on their phones
Starting point is 00:33:28 Some people make Some people It's kind of fun I always like to find the one That took the least amount of effort And I think that That one's That one's doing pretty good
Starting point is 00:33:37 Right Oh that I like that on the side Of the coffee cup That's pretty That's pretty lazy I don't get the Let's make a deal
Starting point is 00:33:44 Monty Hall feeling. It's crazy. They're all cool L.A. people, so they don't actually wear them. They all hold them in their laps. And then when it's time, they hold them up. I gotta go with Dana Pick Me. Oh, it says Dana Pick Me on it?
Starting point is 00:33:59 No, he said Dana Pick Me. Oh, he said it. Oh, that's one way to go. Can you tear that off, or is it surgically attached? Oh, there you go. So give that to Dana. He's playing picked me. Oh, he said it. Yeah. All right. That's one way to go. Can you tear that off, or is it surgically attached? Oh, there you go. So give that to Dana. He's playing for Josh. How long was I up? I don't like...
Starting point is 00:34:11 I feel like people in the front get too much attention. Wayne's talking off microphone. For those of you listening at home, Wayne is concerned that people in the front get too much attention. Well, they also got here earlier, but that's cool. He's doing... Wayne's doing Robin Williams-like crowd work. Yeah. He got Jen? Yeah. So Wayne's playing for Jen,
Starting point is 00:34:28 Dana's playing for Jose, and Andy is playing for Shane. And good luck, everybody. We'll start down here with you, Wayne. We'll go around that way. Can I guess the movie even before you say anything? You want to do one quick pre-guess?
Starting point is 00:34:43 I'm going to do a pre-guess. Can you give me is there anything? I'm not, let's play the game. What are you, Kreskin? I thought you really had a good idea for a pre-game. Is it with six you get egg roll? You want a bunch of clues. Alright. This was submitted
Starting point is 00:34:57 by someone on Twitter named StunnedByBoobs. They suggested food in the title. So these are movies where there's some sort of food In the title of the film Also when this particular episode Plops on Friday What did I tell you about pre-guessing?
Starting point is 00:35:14 How did I pre-guess? When this episode plops on Friday It's going to be Nicolas Cage's birthday So we have a Nicolas Cage category And then on the sadder side Of life I created a Pete Possilthwaite category Because he passed away birthday, so we have a Nicolas Cage category. And then on the sadder side of life, I created a Pete Possilthwaite category because he passed away and he
Starting point is 00:35:30 was awesome. So, which one of those would you like to play, Wayne Fetterman? The food one. Food in the title. Food in the title with Nicolas Cage in them. That's the category. I'm not going to reveal whether he's in any of these or not, but I don't think there's ever been food in a Nicolas Cage in them. That's the category I like. I'm not going to reveal whether he's in any of these or not.
Starting point is 00:35:46 But I don't think there's ever been food in a Nicolas Cage title. I'm willing to guess. No. Moon Pie Struck? Okay, would you like one for 1979, 1987, or 1988? Wayne Fetterman.
Starting point is 00:36:03 I'm going to go back. Back to the 70s. Wow. 79. Leonard Maltin gave this one and a half stars. Outrageous! Now Len, you cocksucker! Is this food? That's my John Lithgow impression.
Starting point is 00:36:21 When John Lithgow was on, he called Leonard Maltin a cocksucker. It was awesome. He gave Diner one and a cocksucker. Oh, I didn't. It was awesome. He gave Diner one and a half stars? Did he really? No. So, let's go out for Diner.
Starting point is 00:36:33 I really want to eat some Diner. That's what you say. Don't go too far into the joke, Doug. Don't go into the... Don't explore. It was just a house number. Okay, Leonard gives it one and a half stars. Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:45 He calls it alternately cruel and sloppily sentimental. 1979, this movie's made. 1979. There's food in the title. He also calls it pretty desperate. Yeah. Leonard, one of his minions, did not care for this. I can guess it.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Hang on, Dana. We start with Wayne. Why? Because that's how the game works. Because I'm not Josh. How many names can you guess it in out of six names, Wayne Fetterman? Oh, definitely in six. That's your opening bid, six names?
Starting point is 00:37:20 I know it's crazy, but that's my strategy. Dana Gould, what do you say? I'm looking at their faces faces and I think I know. You obviously have to bid lower. I can do it in... That's what I think. I can do it in three. He says he can do it in three, Andy Kindler. Well, I say do it then.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Name that movie, Dana Gould. Is it a five-word title? No. No. But I shouldn't have said that. Why shouldn't you... Because it gave it away. I thought it was Attack of the you Oh Because it gave it away Or it didn't give it away
Starting point is 00:37:45 It gave away that it's not what he's thinking it is I thought it was Attack of the Killer Tomatoes Alright well that's Not what it is One and a half stars Attack of the Killer Sugar Beets Alternately cruel
Starting point is 00:37:54 And sloppily sentimental Pretty desperate Apocalypse Fruit Your three names Are Sarah Torghoff Christine DeBell And Russ Barham The Great Russ Barham. The great.
Starting point is 00:38:06 Russ Barham. Whenever I go to the Valley, I think of him. Could it be easier? Could it be any easier? When I drive over on Barham. Could it be any easier? Jesus. I thought it could be harder, Wayne.
Starting point is 00:38:15 Hang on. No, I'm going to get it. 1979. Lay up. I find when people stroke their brain like that, it never helps. Squinting doesn't help. He's going to lose a point. You should have a strong idea by now.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Soylent green. 1973, sorry. That's not food, that's people. Nice. Spoiler alert. A lot of spoilers on this ep. Spoiler alert. I'm selling a spoiler alert.
Starting point is 00:38:45 It's not Hot Dog the movie. No, it's not Hot Dog the movie, but that's a great guess. The movie is, the rest of the stars were Kate Lynch, Harvey Atkin, and Bill Murray, and the movie's called Meatballs. I like that movie. One and a half stars? You know what name I would have gotten on? Chris Makepeace.
Starting point is 00:39:03 Oh, yeah. All right, so Eddie Kindler has a point. Bill Murray shows up. It's more than one and a half stars, my friend. He's funny in that movie. He's funny in that movie. Yeah, but he's got one or two one and a half star movies. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:15 Ghostbusters 2 soars across the screen. Garfield. Boom. Argument over. Garfield 1, Garfield 2. Two bad movies. In an interview, though though he said he thought it was written by
Starting point is 00:39:27 the Coen brother guy. That's why he said yes. Yeah. But he figured it out by the sequel. Well he's like Well the sequel was just It was just words
Starting point is 00:39:38 that he did in the first movie cut in different order. No he came back in. He came back in for 10 minutes. He was emotionally invested by then. It took him less time to read his lines than for the audience to listen to them. I bet. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:52 Let's start. Wayne, you get to start off again. You get to pick a category. Yeah, because you weren't involved in that skirmish. All right. Let's go. Nick Cage. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:40:00 I don't even need to name the categories. I was going to say. He does Nick. You do the Nick. I think I can remember. You don't say need to name the categories. I was going to say... I think I can remember. But I like these. There's things in the category names that I want to say. Okay. I've prepared. Sorry. Go ahead. Do it. What are the categories,
Starting point is 00:40:14 Doug? I like your enthusiasm. Edgar Wright has a festival called The Right Stuff. He's going to show a bunch of movies at the New Beverly starting on January 14th. I'm going to go to as many of them as I can. But these are movies that are part of his that he's going to be showing.
Starting point is 00:40:32 You'd never pick that category because that's not a good clue at all to start off with. Or we could go Nick Cage or future guest Dave Foley's birthday today, you guys. It's his birthday? Yeah, so movies featuring Dave Foley. I today, you guys. It's his birthday today. Yeah, so movies featuring Dave Foley. I'm going to stick with Cage. All right. 1990, 2004, or 2008? Con Air.
Starting point is 00:40:59 All three years. You're the worst. That movie had a strange release pattern. They rolled it out. Yeah. They started in prisons. Then they played it for airline attendants. Then America.
Starting point is 00:41:18 What were the years again? 90? 90, 2004, 2008. 2004. 2004. Okay. Leonard 2004. 2004, okay. Leonard gives this movie three stars. Right. What evs, I say to that.
Starting point is 00:41:32 He calls it surprisingly entertaining. Mm-hmm. And then the last line of the review is, longer than it needs to be, but still fun. So it's surprisingly entertaining. Longer than it needs to be but still fun so it's surprisingly entertaining longer than it needs to be but still fun three stars 2004 nick cage is in it and there are eight names that's a good guessing strategy how often do they make a movie where the movie comes out and the name of it is the year that it came out i don't think think ever. I'm going to do
Starting point is 00:42:05 I'm holding up five fingers. Five names. Yes. Dana Gould. Out of eight. 2004. 2004, yes. Very close.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Nick Cage. Surprisingly entertaining. Three stars. I'll do it in seven. Longer than it needs to be. No, I know that's not how it works. I can't. I'm going to. Well, I'll do it in seven. Longer than it needs to be. No, I know that's not how it works. I can't, I'm gonna, well, I'll have to say four. Four names,
Starting point is 00:42:29 Dana Gould says. Andy Kindler? I can't name it in 15 or 20 names. Do I pass? Can I pass again? No, you could say name that movie. Name that movie or write it. Oh my god, Andy Kindler might take this, you guys. It's so exciting with someone who doesn't know.
Starting point is 00:42:45 My strategy, right? You totally paid off. How can I help? I asked you to sit in the middle so you couldn't do this, but I like your initiative. All right, so Dana gets four names. Do you want the clues again? Does anyone have a spare inhaler?
Starting point is 00:43:14 Okay, longer than it needs to be, surprisingly entertaining, Nicolas Cage movie that gets three stars. And your names are Justin Bartha, Hunter Gomez, Harvey Keitel, and Christopher Plummer, Harvey Keitel, and Christopher Plummer.
Starting point is 00:43:28 Harvey Keitel. Harvey Keitel. And Christopher Plummer. Christopher Plummer. And Nicholas Cage. I wonder if Harvey Keitel and Nick Cage stood around and said, are you going to masturbate in front of a nun when you play the bad lieutenant? Bad lieutenant, ports of call.
Starting point is 00:43:48 That's a terrific guess, but you don't have to try to guess right now. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm just showing you how I could guess. Oh, oh, oh. Hang on. I just need 10 seconds. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Let's let him think, everybody. Ten! Nine! I did not say starting when. Now, starting over. I need ten seconds starting in about two minutes. We gotta go, Dana. Christopher Plummer. Yes.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Javi Cattell. Javi Cattell. Javi Cattell. Hello. Javi Cattell. It. Javi Cattell. It's not monkey trouble. That's my Sam Fuller impression. It's not monkey trouble.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Oh, oh, oh, oh, no. Where's Shane at? Here it is. Where's Shane at? All right, Shane, you're Andy Kinder's winner. I'm calling it. We got to go. We're out of time.
Starting point is 00:44:44 It's not. You ran out of time. It's not... You ran out of time, but you can still guess just for fun. I was going to say Red Rock West, but that was much earlier. Red Rock West?
Starting point is 00:44:52 Harvey Cartel's not in that, nor is Christopher Plummer. Main Streets. It is Main Streets, though, isn't it? No, the rest of the names are Sean Bean, John Voight,
