there's still not one that he won't see those Doug Hey hey hey everybody my name is Doug and I love movies this is Doug this is Doug loves movies recording on Wednesday afternoon February 25th 2026 and my guest today are two it's about timers and one all timer it's beth dover paul russ and egger wright hello hi let's meet everybody individually alphabetically by first name she is coming off of a weekend of performances and the hilarious musical in los angeles called three months later it's Beth Dover. Hi, Beth. Hi, how you doing? I'm good. Did you have a fun time?

I assume I saw the show on Thursday night, and for a first performance, it was pretty amazing. So I assumed the whole weekend went swimmingly. It was honestly the most fun I've had in so long. I haven't done a play in like 20 years, so I was sort of shitting my pants a little bit, but it was actually the most fun. And I don't know. I think that I would love to do it again. It was great.

And the singing, how do you feel about that part? Well, I don't know if you know, I'm a huge karaokeer. So I figured that translated well into being in a musical. You know what I mean? Okay. Well, that's that, yeah, as long as that works. Yeah, yeah. That was sort of my, I mean, like, it was kind of my original love, you know, was, you know, musical theater.

Right. Well, so many funny people have the, have that. They have the musical gifts, like so many. I think that's the main thing that separates improv from stand-up comedy is, improvisers can most of them could sing. Yeah, yeah, I guess that's true. Never thought about it like that. No, it's like, it definitely was the skill that kept me away from improv.

There's no way you could be in a group and not have to sing every once in a while. And I was just too mortified it to the possibility. So I drifted over to stand-up comedy where you just yap and it doesn't matter what key it's in. Well, you did very well. Thank you very much. Now, you are also, this is a bit of a theme show today because you are also in a film that one of our other guests will also talk about shortly, but I'll ask you about it first. The Napa Boys. Yes, the Napa Boys.

I haven't seen it yet. I'm going tonight to see it, actually. Oh, that's cool. I'm excited to see it. It's like kind of a crazy little film. I think it's sort of, what is it, like sideways meets American Pie or something they're calling it? So I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. I haven't seen it, like I said. So I'm excited to see it tonight. I love those one movie meets another movie. That would be a fun game to name two movies

of me. But then, of course, that also kind of comes down to a personal opinion, you know, like what you think it's similar to those. That's true. There wouldn't be like an like an IMDB list with that. You're right. More of a subjective thing. It's not a concrete answer. Unless the answer has to be just whatever. I am looking for. Right. But I just, I saw a movie last night called Operation Taco Garees.

And I thought of the, I thought of the, what the, it's, the meat is in that one. And that's begonia meets John Wick. Oh. Yeah,

if you could imagine. I can't even the meat, the meat in the taco. Sorry. That's what I, that's originally what I thought too. I was like ground beef. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's in that taco. All right. he has been on this show 11 times according to my math and always appreciate having him on. It's Edgar.

Hey, Edgar. Hey, thanks for having me. I try and do every press cycle, which obviously becomes like once every three or four years. Right, but this particular case, though, we get a little, and this might be the case from now on, is that you really do have to get out there again when the movie becomes available in people's homes and on DVD. Yeah, I didn't want to leave you hanging.

I wanted to do it when the film came out, but it was a crazy, like, you know, whistle-stop press tour. And so I didn't want to, it's basically something I promised to myself is I must do Doug show every movie. Well, now you officially have because we can promote the fact. that the running man is not only going to be available soon, right? It's very soon. It's on digital now, but the Blu-ray and 4K and all of that stuff comes out on Monday with tons of

extras. That's going to have those extras that we know and love that you like to provide. Yes, with lots of funny stuff on there as well, actually, because a lot of improvises on the cast who obviously in the movie you only have like a short moment, but then when they're allowed to just let rip. Even as you're doing it on the day, thinking, well, well, I'm probably going to use like 10 seconds of this, but I can put the full 10 minutes on the Blu-ray. Because in the cast, there's like Martin Herliheatham, SNL and the amazing Bill O'Neill, I don't know if you know him, the sort of amazing sort of like incredible clown comedian and Kat Cohen and Emma City. And obviously,

when you let those guys go for it, they really go for it. So, I, it, in, it, In the back of my head, I was thinking, I have to preserve all this funny stuff and put it somewhere. So there's tons of great stuff on the Blu-ray. That's a great system. I know that you have, I've seen it. I've seen the Napa Boys trailer. That's correct, yes. Oh, you have?

I can't promote the movie, but I did see the trailer at the cinema, so I feel like I have some authority to speak about it. Oh, that's good. It looks good to you, right? It does. I wanted to see it. Is that good enough? Yes, how often do you see a trailer? I feel like you just kind of want to see everything.

Do you see trailers to turn you off to seeing the film? Oh, absolutely. There's this trailer right now that I've sat through twice. It's something about Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. I haven't seen that one. It's brutal just getting to the trailer. I can't. Especially right now, I can't get excited about that.

story. I think my problem more, I mean, a lot of people gain the system now by getting if you have reserved seating, getting there late, figuring out what time the movie's actually going to start. Yeah. I don't really have a problem with trailers, but I do really have a problem

and this is an AMC thing. God bless them. Please don't have four trailers for going to the cinema right before the movie. Yeah. Because it's like well, tell everybody outside. I I'm fucking here already. Like, don't tell me to go to the cinema.

I already bought my ticket. And the way they do it. The other day, they do four in a row. Yeah. Oh, my gosh. To people that they think have never seen a movie in their lives. It's always like, the way they're like light and cameras. My pet peeve, my pet peeve is they have the one saying,

get ready. The film is about to commence. Turn your phones off now. And then they go to another fucking advert. Christ. They literally, actually, after the Napa Boys trailer, there were four AMC in cinema, one for Stubbs, one for turning your phone off, one with Nicole Kidman, and like a fourth one, just saying, this is a big screen.

Polka-Cola. Yeah, that's the other one, where it has a little... Coca-Cola one that drives me crazy. Yeah, it has like a Lombada bit and a Fast and the Furious bit, and it's like, please, just start the film. Enough with the Lombada bit. Oh my God. I didn't come here today for Lombado bits.

I'm here for Chris. Did you expect a Lombada reference in 2026? No, but that's, you nailed it. They're doing some sort of street dancing. I know that. But there's those two times where they clap really loud, so I clap at the same time in my seed, and nobody cares.

So what I wasn't going to ask you, though, about Edgar was you have a list that you've made at one point. I don't know how often you update it of your 100 favorite films. I think it's more than that, actually. It's actually not my list. It's like a thousand favorite films. Oh, my God. I didn't, you know what it was?

I didn't make it myself, but when I was, I think when I was editing Baby Driver, I found this list online on movie, and it said Edgar Wright's favorite movies, and it was like 700 movies long. And I was, and I had not made it myself. It was kind of like waking up

and like, like you've done something in your sleep. And it's like, where did this list come from? And I got in touch with the guy who made it. And I said, hey, I have a question. Where did you get this list? It's like somebody had been in my brain. And he said, oh, it's every film you've ever mentioned liking in an interview.

And I was like, holy shit. And then I said, can I, like, edit it and change some things? So I just, like, eventually expanded to like a thousand. But it is difficult to do that because there is also. So the problem about doing that is that then when you have friends with films out, they're like, oh, so my movie doesn't make your top 1,000. So I sort of stopped doing it. I sort of stopped doing it.

Or if I do, I concentrate on older films. I might at some point change it all to films before I started making films, and then that kind of like solves the issue. Does this sound accurate, though? The list that I saw at Reservoir Dogs was your number one. No. I don't know where that came from. But I do love that movie, but I don't know if I don't think they're ever ranked.

But it's a funny thing sometimes you assume nobody's ever seen it. And then the director, Walter Hill, who's a friend of mine, said jokingly, but still jokingly, he said, Oh, so I see only seven of my films are in your top one foul. And I said, seven's pretty good. That's so good. Jesus, like you seven, great. Yeah, that's not bad at all. He was joking, but still, he still knew the exact number.

And I was like, oh, shit, maybe I shouldn't. do this list. Well, speaking of Tarantino films, he's an inglorious bastard who plays squirm in the Napa boys. It's Paul Rust. Hey, Paul. I done. Thanks for having me on the pot. Oh, thanks for being here. I got to ask you, how squirmie is squirm?

Oh, he's the squirmiest of the squirms that ever did squirm. in theaters this Friday in Los Angeles I believe you could go out to the Americana AMC and see all that shit Edgar was talking about before the movie and then it's going to be Get ready

It'll be at the Antarctica in New York on March 6th And then more theaters nationwide on March 13th That's correct yeah Then it starts going to different places across the country Well tell us more about the movie What should people expect? Yes. The Napa Boys is like a hypothetical part four of a movie franchise that doesn't really exist.

That's based on the Sideways Movies or Sideways Movie. Sideways, and it's non-existent sequels. Yes, yes. But, you know, what Beth said with the American Pie comparison, it is like, and I was talking to Edgar about this earlier, I'm like, it is, you know, what those movies that came out, those straight to DVD series, like American Pie presents Ban Camp, Naked Mile 2, you know, one of those.

So it's just really ends up being kind of a spoof of sequels It's also like, I thought about it, like, I'm sure you've checked into a hotel room and you're like flipping through the stations and you come across like a TV show that's like in episode eight of season seven of a show you've never seen before, but they assume. Yeah. You know every backstory and you're just sort of plopped in and you're presented with this dilemma of like, I guess I just have to fill it all. these gaps here. I think that's what the filmmakers were trying to recreate with the Napa boys. Well, that sounds amazing. And people are, it's funny when this happens, but like in the, you know, the poll quotes

about the movie, people are already calling it a cult, a cult film, which is like, you know, like a movie that achieves cult status over time. It's not like, you know, so when it's like right out of the gate, they already think it's a cult film. that already makes it seem pretty interesting. Yeah, well, I love the movie, but, you know, that feels like marketing, man. Let the people decide what's a cult.

Yeah, I wish there'd be more a movie, like the review, they quote in the trailer, it's just like, you know, some people are going to love this. Not for all of y'all. but this does sound like a lot of fun and it has a fun cast including you and Beth and I cannot wait to see it. Thank you to all three of you for being here this afternoon

or wherever you are. And before we play some games today, I'd like each one of you to recommend one movie and we'll start with Beth. Okay, well, I must say, Ben Wang, who's in the play that I just did, is in this movie that I watched a couple days ago called The Long Walk, which is based on a early Stephen King novel

that he wrote when he was like 19 years old, I believe. And it destroyed me right before I had to go to the theater to do this stupid little fun comedy, whatever. I was texting Ben like, this is psychological torture. I was watching it with Joe and my husband, and he was like, do I want me to stop this? Because I was sobbing so hard. So I recommend it if you're ready to

feel things deeply and intensely. It's very good. And the cast, the young cast, is amazing. This guy, David Johnson, is incredible. And Cooper Hoffman and Mark Hamill. It's super good. Yeah, and that they, you know, the premises, they have to keep walking.

So the logistics of shooting a movie where all the characters are constantly in motion, walking down a road is, it's pretty insane what they managed to pull off. I know. It's crazy. And the acting is uniformly excellent. My stupid piece of trivia I like to bring up when this movie comes up is, you know, Stephen King initially had it that when these kids are walking,

they can't, they have to keep it four miles per hour. They get, you know, they get executed. And for the movie, they made it three. They made it three. Yeah, they made it three. They switched it because they thought four just sounds, it's how it too hard. It was too leisurely. or two.

That was the original title, the leisurely walk. The leisurely walk. Just like a stroll, the long stroll. Yeah, that's really those twists come hard and fast when you think it's going to be a leisurely walk. Also, my film is connected because it's like the other Richard Bachman adaptation of 2025. There were two films from Stephen King's pseudonym

released in 2025, The Long Walk and the Running Man. That's crazy. and... Different speeds of transports. It should be like the long walk ran so the running man

could run. No, the long walk so the running man could run. Something about that. Yeah, I like that.

That's, I mean, that's a... Nobody put that on the poster as a pool quote. That's a future, a double feature

at a revival house. For sure. That would be really... And then you'd need after that, if you had the long walk followed by the running man, and then you just need some,

like, like having cool down time at the end. Yeah, the third movie would be like Rango. Long Walk has come up a few times before people recommending it. People feel very strong. I'm glad I'm unique. Yeah, I'm just saying that there is much support out there for it. And I, to me it was a little,

it was too harrowing. Like I couldn't. It was intense. Yeah, maybe if I watched it again once now that I know. But, you know, I'm like one of those people that kind of stopped watching Walking Dead when when Stephen Young's character was so horribly violently murdered on camera. You know what I mean? Like, there's a point to me where it's like, emotionally, it's too much.

Yeah. No, I had to pause it a couple of times because I was like, I need a second to like regroup. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then you have Judy Greer in there as the crying mother. It's like, how can you hold it together? It's impossible.

It's insane. I know. I know. All right, Edgar, you're up. What would you like to recommend? Well, actually, I'll recommend the film that I saw the Napa Boys trailer in front of, which was I saw the other day, Nirvana, the band, the show of the movie, which is, I think it could also be very much qualified as the cult movie.

has anybody seen that movie? I have it yet. I want to. I just saw it the other day and it's really something. All I like about it is I mean, I have not seen the TV show that it's a spin-off from

and it seems like almost it doesn't seem like you need to see anything before. It was such a great goof of a movie and just so silly and infectious infectiously silly is what I'd call it. It sort of reminded me, and I mean this is a compliment. It almost felt like watching a feature-length episode of Flight of the Concordes. But, you know, but I also, I lived in Toronto in like 2009 when I was shooting Scott Pilgrim.

So it felt very familiar to me because, you know, it's about a, well, they're sort of a musical duo, although you never actually see them perform. Not properly in the movie. They're trying to book a gig and their attempt to do. so become increasingly airbrained and then like, you know, rip through the fabric of time.

So it sort of starts as kind of one thing and it almost becomes like back to the future too by the end of it. And it was, there was some very, very funny bits in it. And both of them, Matt Johnson and Jane McCarroll are just fun to watch. So it's something where I kind of feel a lot of people are saying like, oh, do I

have to have seen this show before? I hadn't seen this show and I was like gophoring throughout. Yeah, they really, it is kind of a standalone thing. And, you know, unfortunately, as funny as I think Nirvana, the show, the band, the movie as a title is, like, it puts all sorts of misconceptions into people's heads. Like, AMC does these, you know, on occasional Monday night, they'll just show a movie, they call it Screen Unseen, where you buy a ticket and you don't know what you're going to see. But there's much people on Reddit who figure out what it's going to be so you can find out ahead of time if you really want to know. and they did that movie

and I just kept reading from person after person that at these screenings where people didn't know what it was at all just heard that title and then it starts lots of walkouts which is, you know,

is a shame because it is very inventive and funny. Here's my pitch. One of the sight unseen screenings on a Monday night, just one night, just for shits and giggles, play those AMC in movie adverts on a loop and nothing else. And see what happens.

Oh, my God. If you play Get Ready, the movie's about to begin 10 times in a row. That's some kind of special mental torture. I mean, that's just a funny gag to pull on and on. Turn off your phones. The movie is about to begin. The band is, it's Nirvana with two ends. not like Nirvana with one end.

But I've seen it, I've seen tons of pictures of marquees where they just put Nirvana spelled correctly on the marquee at the theater. But very, very fun, interesting experience, but you do have to be like just open, you just have to give into it because it's, it is such a, everything that happens in the movie,

it's got great twists and stuff, but it also can feel rather random. But it also, It also describes in a good way, it's exactly what you were talking about, Paul, about Napa Boys and watching a TV show halfway through. It sort of has that fun about it, but in a way that becomes like the, you know,

the raisin debtor of it. It's interesting. Like, I mean, it's funny. I thought this about James Gunn's Superman last summer is because that film starts right in the middle of things with a lot of characters that you haven't met before, I thought it accurately pulled off the feeling you had as a kid. when you read Superman or, you know, nobody starts with Spider-Man 1.

You know, you start with Spider-Man issue like 349, and you're expected to just kind of like get with it and catch up. And I thought that was an interesting thing in that movie is like, it was just like, okay, catch up. We're not doing the origin. We're just in it, you know? And I think that, and something about the Nirvana film, the way it starts and the way it gets into it,

it was part of the charm of it, is that they never really slowed down. down to explain anything. You're just on a goof with them immediately. Yeah, a lot of fast writing on whiteboards. And immediately. Yeah. And then, but then the T.O. Tower business.

Oh, that was amazing. I actually emailed Matt Johnson because I know him a little bit. And I said, I emailed him and I said, I don't know how you did the CN Tower stuff. And I don't want to know. Yeah, it's really special. Okay, Paul. Yeah. What would you like to recommend?

Well, first of all, I don't know if Beth feels this way. I imagine you do. But Doug, it is pretty funny to like invite us on to a podcast. It'd be like if you had a podcast called like Doug Love Science and your co-guest is Albert Einstein. Yeah, I mean, honestly, I was like, wait, who's on this podcast? Well, thanks a lot. I'm not going to do well today. I can tell you that.

I plug Napa Boys for you guys alone. You actually really did. And I haven't even seen it. So, you know. Yeah. We thank you for that. We really do. Yeah.

It's intimidating in not only in the recommendations portion, but obviously in the games as well. But he's not unbeatable. Okay. And he's, as you've already seen, super lovable. Oh, of course. Incredibly. It's not the, it's not the invincibility. It's more just the, yeah, oh my gosh, the range in depth.

Yeah. Yeah. He's going to kick our ass. It's okay. So you're trying to say you have a dumb recommendation? Yes. It's American Pie, the Naked Mind? No, I'll recommend something fun if people want to go check it out.

It's called Splatter Farm. And it's from, like, the late 80s. I found it on, like, a. video that was like for sale when our video store was trying to get rid of stuff in my hometown that was like, you know, nobody rented. And my friends and I

got it, it shot on a camcorder with VHS, with the Polonius brothers. They are like identical. They're not twins. And like when you're watching like the first 15 minutes and they're cutting back and forth between the two of them talking, do you think it's like a clump situation

where a guy is like talking to but it's just two very similar-looking brothers. But no, it's like a Gonzo homemade splatter movie that takes place on a farm. But it is really just two guys, two brothers, going for broke, trying to outgross each other. What's it called? Splatter Farm.

And the slogan is, Old McDonald had a farm. E.I.E.I. Ouch. I was sold. Yeah, you think they would have got a little bit more of a budget just off of that, you know, just that pitch. How old is this thing? I think it's like from the late 80s, maybe when home video camcorders became, a got on the hands of... Do you think people can stream it?

You know, I think they can find it on a, you know, a YouTube sort of thing. Just go big in, yeah. All right. Go find it, everybody. Splatter Farm. All right. Great recommendations, everybody. We got to take first of our couple of breaks,

but we'll play some games after these words. Today's episode is brought to you in part by Shopify. Picture this.

We are back. and the first game we're going to play today debuted last week with a name that I wasn't happy with but I was excited about the game so I just went ahead with it it was called How Many This Many? But Lister Nostradani on social media suggested a title that I like better because I went to the people and said,

come up with a good title for this game. And so it is now called Count Me If You Can. and here's how it works. Beth will go first. I'll be in a movie. Okay. And then you have to guess how many credited performers are listed in the cast by the Internet

movie database. Okay. If you're wrong, then Edgar gets a shot at it. And if he misses, what? It could happen. Then Paul gets a guess. Okay. If all three of you get it wrong, then nobody gets a point.

We move on to the next one. If someone gets one right, the next person in line will go first. Do you have to get the exact number or is it the closest two? It's exact number. Oh, my God. So are these like, I mean, these have to be small cast movies, I would assume. Well, you know, Beth, when one assumes. Don't you put.

down mess. Yeah. You'll see. Okay. All right. All right. We'll talk about here. But it's also, you know, it's not with three people each taking a guess, you could get there.

But the idea is it's not going to just be like, I can't think of a good example now. Oh, like, it's not going to be like sluth. Okay, yeah, two guys were in that. It's not going to be that easy for that. Spoiler alert, that. Okay. Yeah, hopefully none of these will be spoilers either. All right.

Beth, here we go. All right, I'm ready. The film is called Dead Calm. Oh, right. You know that one. There's a boat. There's some water. There's a boat and water.

Yes, wait, yes. Hold on. Is it like from the 90s? I think that sounds about right. I don't mind telling you what the movie is because that's not going to reveal how many people are. Okay. Tell me what the movie. You know, it was like Nicole Kidman.

Okay. And, you know, mayhem on a boat, a small boat. Okay. Yeah. Well, that's going to tell me a lot. So I feel like a small boat can carry four people. I'm going to say four people, four. Final answer.

incorrect Edgar okay well as I remember it like DeKam I want to say 1989 is that right no anyway

that's the question as I remember it it's Nicole Kim and Sam Neal and Billy Zane I don't remember if there's anybody else in it because I haven't seen it since the first came out but I'm going to say three people three credited

actors at the end of the film is your final answer. Well, I can't think of who the fourth character was. Yes, three. That's wrong. Paul. What do you think about this?

Dead calm. Yeah, I've seen it before, and I remember enjoying it. I remember thinking the movie was very nois, Philip, noice. I'm going to to say maybe there was like a boat hand or ship captained or a dock dude around in addition to those three gorgeous people let's say five uh see this is the thing about this game those are all three

terrific guesses with that one is also wrong because dead calm about three people fighting it out on a you know a boat out at sea has 12 credited actors okay or i should say performers because one of them is Benji as dog. The Benji? I've got to feel like it's a different Benji playing the dog, but the dog does not get the respect it deserves in the film, apparently.

Is Dead Calm, like the naked mile, like the naked mile for the love of Benji? Is it a sequel? Is it part of the Benji Cinematic Universe? It's, yeah, Dead Call, Col, Benji at sea. Did the Dead Colm started as like a Benji vehicle, and then like the star power of Nicole Kidman started taking over, and people were like, hey, we got an up-and-comer here.

Let's try to retail it. And Benji's just sitting there be like, I'm losing my movie. Where am I? To reach 12 actors in Dead Calm, we're also talking a sorted array of doctors show up at some point. Maybe, again, might be a spoiler. And then there's also some women that are credited as crucial. girls, whatever that.

That's what Nicole Kidman was. Yeah. Oh, my God. You're on five. Oh, my God. I haven't recovered from Nois, Philip Noyes. Yeah, no one will ever recover from that. All right.

Well, nobody got that one right, but, you know, just based on his answers, we all know that Paul is a clear and present danger. Beth, the next movie Podcast games Is the shallow I don't have a sliver of a chance with Paul and his Philip Nois knowledge The shallows is the movie Beth

Okay, the shallows The shallows Okay Is it in water again? Very shallow water It's more recent And it was I'll just cut to

cut right to it. It's just Blake lively stuck on a buoy being attacked by sharks. Oh, okay, okay. Does Benji play the buoy?

No. But you're going to be really surprised by one of the listed cast members. All right, let me think about this. All right. So it's mainly her,

probably, but then there's probably a few other people. I'm going to go with five. Five is incorrect. Edgar, did you see the shallows? I did.

And the only thing I recall about it is obviously Blake lively and a shark and a boy. I'm going to say, but I think she had a sister in it or something. I mean, I have no idea. I'm sure it would be one of those things where there's more than you think, but let's say two people. That's also wrong, Paul. I saw this movie, and I remember her having some sort of friend before she had to face the sharks by herself.

let's say you know I said five last time and Beth said four we're going to swap it up I'll say four this time good call the answer is 12 people oh my god I'm just going to keep answering 12

let me guess there's there's Benji the dog and some cruise girls and a doctor or two is this part of the dead calm universe I don't you know, I certainly, when I saw as shallows, it made me think of

dead calm. But there's 12 people in it because I guess she encounters some surfers, like maybe initially, before she gets stranded. Ah, yeah. And there's, I guess,

flashbacks, because it feels like there's a young version of her at one point. Also, her dad appears in it. And, but my favorite of all the people credited or things credited, did, if you will, is that Sully Segal plays

Stephen Segal. Oh, wow. Yeah. Which I don't remember that maybe in the movie she just make jokingly calls the Seagull Stephen Siegel, but he's portrayed by

Sully Siegel, so don't put any stink on his name. No, Barbara Segal, Barbara Hershey. No. You know that whole story, right? Yeah. It's amazing.

No, what is it? The movie, last summer, which I think is in the late 60s, there's a Seagull in that movie, and the Seagull died during production, and Barbara Hershey was so appalled at the mistreatment of the Seagull and so moved by its death that for years, this is true, she changed the name to Barbara Siegel. No. And I'm not kidding.

Look at it up. I actually saw her do a Q&A at the Egyptian. and she talked about this whole story because for a long time her name was Barbara Seagull. And then she saw a chocolate bar get tortured. Yeah, literally. After a night of killing some chocolate. She tortured it by eating it.

All right, round three. Nobody's got a point yet. This is very exciting. The answer is 12. I'm going to say 12. I mean, that's what it's been so far. It's the next film, 12 angry boys. Yes, exactly.

Beth, how many people are credited in the film, The Hateful Eight? I'm going to go with 12. I'm saying 12. Incorrect. Damn it. Well, there's eight, and there's Channing Tatum is in the basement, and there's all the people that are in the haberdastery before, and there's people in flashbacks as well.

So I'm going to go higher. I'll say, like, let's say 15. Also wrong, but I'm. I liked hearing the work. Paul? I initially popped in my brain, but 14? They tricked you all again. This one has 17.

Wow, it was so close. Yeah, lots of guys running around out in the snow and stuff. And then would have been 18 if Clinton had given himself credit because he's the narrator, but he's uncredited as the narrator. All right, back to you, Beth. Oh, okay. But you're doing great. Yeah, well, okay.

How many credited actors in Reservoir Dogs? Oh, okay. Oh, God. Okay, let me think about this. I'm trying to remember, like, the walking, like, okay, let me, this is, I want to say, I want to say like eight is eight is it eight

no it's not eight Edgar knows it's a little more than that I think right well I'm not going to get it I'll do my working with that so in the gang I think it's like six people right but then you've also got the cop that gets tortured you've got the cop that's in the flashbacks you've got people let us people get shot in the street as well

I want to say so let's go as high as like 18 people. Incorrect. No. But I like it, Paul. 22. This will be fun if we never get any of these.

23. Oh, that was so, you got it. I mean, that's close enough. Yeah. No, I think you're all working as a team to reach very close to the actual number. So let's try one more. And then I have a tiebreaker that'll settle it where nobody has to get

the exact answer. But for now one more round with Beth starting and the movie is from 1972, the Poseidon Adventure. Oh my God. Oh God.

Oh, that's a big one, right? Because they're on like a cruise ship or something. Am I done? Whoa. Oh, God. Yeah, it's 30, 30 people. No, Edgar? I would say it's kind of high as well,

but because before the accident, obviously there's the ensemble that are left post capsizing? That's what happens, right? It's upside down. So it capsizes. So I'd say, what did you say, what did you say 20? What would your guess?

Oh, 30. Let's go higher then. I'll say 35. No, Paul. 45? See, this one is kind of comes back down in a way that you would not expect. It's 19. Oh.

19. Because like, you know, there's the people that are, uncredited are endless. There's so many because there's like so many people playing people that are on the boat that just don't get, they don't have lines necessarily. So they, and like that stuntman who falls into the skylight is, you know, one of the many not credited people, even though that's an amazing memorable stunt. So, Doug, you mean like somebody might say be in the movie Captain Eo, but they're not credited. I think that person would be pretty cool, though. An IMDB is a uncredited Orange Dancer.

All right, one last one, but this one, we're going to play it like the price is right. Beth will go first, then Edgar, then Paul. I'll tell you the movie, you each guess a number, and whoever's closest without going over wins the whole game. The film, Beth, is Tom Hanks on an island, passed away. Oh, well, there's the wife at the beginning, right?

And that's just like, and then it's just like him in the volleyball. So like Helen Hunt, is it Helen Hunt? I can't. It is Helen Hunt. Okay, so there's Helen Hunt and him. And maybe he, and, oh, maybe he gets rescue. Let's say, let's say, oh, seven. Okay. Edgar.

I'll go higher because there's a whole thing at him. He works for FedEx, right? Is that who he works for? So there's a whole thing at the FedEx depot at the Star Depot for Americans. And then there's a plane sequence. And then there's the little epilogue at the end when he goes to deliver the package. So I'm going to say, let's go 14. Okay, Paul. Was it?

Okay. Right. There was Tom Hanks and Helen Hunt and the guy she gets with at the end of the movie, which I can only assume was Hank Azaria. Let's go back to the original 12. Let's say 12. All right. So to recap, Beth said five.

No, I said seven. Beth said seven. Edgar said 48. No, what did you say, Edgar? No, I didn't take 48. I said 14. Okay. And Paul said 12.

Yeah. I should have wrote these down. Well, Edgar is our winner. Did I get it dead on? No. It's 13. It's 58. Oh, my God.

Eight. That's a lot of people. Are you serious? Yeah. Wow. And it's even weirder. Wilson goes uncredited. That's rude.

You know what? Not to ruin this game, but one thing that's a bit of a lie about IMDB is that people who are sort of supporting artists extras on a movie will give their characters names. They don't exist. I'm not kidding. Oh, smart. Are they allowed to do that? No, but they do.

So if you find, like, a lot of, say, like say on Sean of the Dead, people who are zombies have just kind of given their characters' names on IMV. Because it looks better on a resume. So, you know, so, you know, but you know like Quentin Tarantino when he was an aspiring actor, this is before the internet, he used to put things on his resume

that he films that he wasn't in but he figured nobody could check. So he had like Biker, Dawn of the Dead. He said that he was in Jean-Luogdard's King Lear because nobody had ever seen it. And so he had these things on his resume that weren't true because he figured this is before the internet

that nobody could check whether it was true. Well, we can't trust the internet at all. It's true. There's definitely But just even from my memory of these films, I broke down that there really were all these other people that did have stuff to say. And so Edgar, you are officially the winner of that game. Wow. One lie about me that's on the Internet is on IMDB under trivia on my page.

Somebody got in there and put this in there. And I think it's so funny, I don't want to take it down. It said one of his favorite films is more American graffiti. I think I said somewhere that that movie's better than you'd think it would be or something, you know, that I kind of liked it. And then probably one of my favorite films. All right, we've got to do one more break and then we've got to fly through our next game. We've got to determine our winner today.

We're running out of time. We're having so much fun. We'll be right back. is the tagline for captain sorry that's okay what's up i just say the tagline for captain iio e i i i i o ouch yeah absolutely what was splatterfarm's tagline paul old mcdonald had a farm e i e i ouch yeah so captain eo would just be e o ouch but it's funny there's a you know a making of captain eo and this is true i'm not making this up copla's on set and he was like captain eo he's named after arrow you know or somebody like the god

of light and he starts going um captain eo had some light eo yo eo oh oh no seriously so that's why you guys are two great directors you both think of Captain EO, EO, EO jokes. I've never actually seen Captain EO because it was only played at Disneyland, right? Yeah, you could, you know, you can watch it on YouTube, but it looks awful.

I wish somebody would put out a good version of it somewhere because also the 3D and it is pretty impressive when you see it in the Magic Eye Theater at Disneyland. Attach it to the start of that new Michael Jackson bio effect. Yeah. Yeah. You know. That'd be cool.

In between the AMC, the movie is starting, but... Yeah, I love that. All right, we have to determine a winner today, and we've got about nine minutes to do it. But, so we're going to play a game that I call Mr. Kubrick, speaking of great directors. Rotten Tomatoes has ranked all 13 feature films directed by Stanley Kubrick

in order of their critical success their rating on the critics tomato meter and so the three of you are going to take turns guessing the Stanley Kubrick films you think might rank the highest on the list so if you do get the number

one movie you get 13 points if you get the number 13 movie that's worth one point and then there's all those points in between you'll each get three guesses ultimately but Edgar's going to go first then Beth, then Paul we'll go through three times

and probably name nine of his 13 films and then we'll add up the score and see who wins. Perfect. What's your first guess, Edgar? So what am I? I'm trying to guess the highest rated one?

The best reviewed Stanley Kubrick movie according to Rotten Tomatoes. I would say, I'm guessing some of the really famous ones are a bit more divisive than we would expect like The Shining. So I would say number one, probably with 100%, what about Dr. Strangelove? It is indeed number one on the list. Yes.

Nice. This is what he does, Beth. He comes on the show. Just all the way. And he's an absolute killer. What movie sprung into your mind? What do you think would be, you know, number two, three or four on the show? the list of Stanley Kubrick films.

I was going to say The Shining. That's a reasonable guess. And of course it is on the list because all 13 of his films are. No wrong answers in this game. Unless you can't think of one at all. But in the case of The Shining, it's number nine on the list. It got nominated for Razzie's in the year that it was released, which is crazy. Oh, wow. Really?

Yeah. Yeah. Worst movie, worst performance. It's crazy. Wow. Even King hated it more than, more than anybody. And I just saw Robert Duval rest in peace. I saw an old interview with him where he was talking shit about how bad the acting is and the shining.

Wow. Because because of the multiple, how Kubrick he goes, he does 100 takes, how you know take 90, take 91, which one's better? You know, that was Duval's opinion. I'm glad he's dead. Oh my God. Too soon, too soon. Please don't let that be the clickbait from this episode. You know, Paul, that wasn't noise. It wasn't noise at all.

Wouldn't that be amazing if that was the headline, Napa Boys star says he's glad. You got to do that. You got to get that attention. Get those clicks. Yeah. All right, Paul, what's your first guess? Um, yeah, Strange Love is out, so I'll go with Barry Lyndon.

Barry Lyndon is number 11. Whoa. Whoa. That's only worth three points, but, uh, and I just say, these are still, these are all, all of his movies are certified fresh. All of them are 68% or higher. Uh, this is just the exact order that they break down in. Uh, what I'm a divisive at the time.

Yes. Yes. Yeah. Yes, but still like best picture nominee. I remember seeing it as a child, even though I didn't get it. What's your next guess, Edgar? Am I trying to get the second highest? Yes.

The last time we played a game like this on the show, you just knocked off one, two, and three. It was pretty incredible. I'm going to guess that another one that probably has 100% or something very high would be plots of glory. Number two. on the list. Yes.

Oh, my gosh. Edgar. Yeah. Edgar wins today. He's already got an insurmountable lead. But Beth, give us another one. 2001, a Space Odyssey? Nice.

Now you're moving up in the world. Number five. All right. Yes. Yes. But now it's a race for second place, Paul. The killing. Oh, you took it away from Edgar number three on the list.

is the killing. So maybe things are closer than I thought they were. Let's see if Edgar can put a few more points on the board. So we need the number four. And did you say 2001 is number five? Yeah. The killing was number three. I'm going to say,

hmm, I wouldn't think it was either white chit or full metal jacket. Oh, what about it's either going to be Spartacus or it'll be Clockwork Orange. So let's say, let's say, I'm going to go on a limb and say Spartacus. Number four on the list, of course. Yeah. Wow.

Oh my gosh. I just feel like some of those movies that we all love, eyeswise shut, clotheque, Clotlerc, Orange, Shining, they were all more, Barry Lyndon, they were all more divisive at the time than they are now beloved. Well, let's see what Beth's next guess is. What if she said Spartacus and then I say Spartacus? He'll say it at the same time. He just keeps saying it. I mean, whatever.

I'll say clockwork orange. No, number eight of the list. Number eight, okay. Yeah, 86% on rotten tomatoes. So no slouch there, but there's certainly some people that probably couldn't stomach it, especially if they include more recent reviews. Paul, one more. One more.

Let's go with yeah, let's say a full metal jacket. Number six of the list. There you go. Worth eight points. So everybody did great in this game. For one thing, I don't think I could

assemble three guests who could name nine Stanley Kubrick films. So for that alone, I appreciate it all of you. Edgar did list a few before I had to go, I was like, oh, yeah. So, you know, that did help a little bit. That's okay.

I'm happy to. Yeah. You can always just draft behind a show off like that. Number 13 was fear and desire. Number 12 was like Edgar was saying, eyes wide shut is, I think, let people like it more now than then. It was 76%. And then Barry Lyndon was 11.

Killer's kiss was number 10. Wow. And then also sneaking around in there in the middle at number seven that nobody mentioned was Lolita, yes. Oh, yes. A very, a very strange experience. It is an excellent film, but it's also, it's just pretty weird. Is it strange because it really turned you on, Doug? Is that the problem? No, it's strange because it's a bit of a pot boiler. Like, it's kind of like exciting, you know, towards the end, like, well, who's going to somebody's going to get killed or whatever. but I thought that, so I enjoyed the movie, and then I picked up the book,

and it's just crazy how dense the writing is, but also what creepy stuff is talking about at the same time. Actually, I like that film, because I think it does a good job. I think the film is slightly misrepresented because it does, James Mason ruins his life and others. It's like sort of a miserable experience with that character. Yeah, and it just doesn't,

come off poetic at all. It's just pathetic. Yeah. Well, Edgar, you did it. You're a winner. Remind us again, what's the date of when people could see all these extras associated with Running Man? I see it comes out on Monday or Tuesday in the States. I marched the second or third and all over, but that's the extras packed kind of Blu-ray. But it's also available digitally as well. but physical media is back, baby. That's right. Seth Dover.

Yes. Great, great first appearance on the show. Thank you for having me. What would you like to promote? Well, of course, Napa Boys, which Edgar has said like 20 to 30 times, which we really appreciate. I have a movie called Damned If You Do that I think just got picked up for distribution. Hey, congrats. Thank you.

So that should be coming out. And yeah, I just finished that three months later play, which hopefully we'll, you know, we'll get to do again. So, yeah. Yeah. I mean, there was like a production basically put on to try to make it, you know, a real production either on stage or film. Yes, correct. Moving forward into the future. So I look forward to seeing what happens with it.

Yeah, me too. Me too. I hope we get to do it again. I'll always be like being able to go, I was there the first time they did it. Yeah, you were. Yeah, you were right away. So that's pretty exciting. Paul Russ, great job.

Thanks, Doug. Thanks for having me. What would you like to plug Napa Boys? Yeah, I'll plug the Napa Boys. And Beth is great in it as well. And yeah, people just check that out. And also people who like movie podcasts, I do one with Matt Gourley called With Gourley and Rust if people want to listen to that.

Oh, yeah, he's great. You're great, great, great. I'm going to be doing Beds to Movie Interruption at Dynasty Typewriter here in L.A. on Tuesday night. That's March 3rd. Looks like we might have convinced John Hamm to participate, but as scheduled permitting. I'm doing stand-up in Houston at the punchline March 6 and 7th, and Douglas Movies is coming to the Moon Tower Comedy Festival in Austin, Texas in April.

All of my dates and deeds are at Douglasmovies.com. and Edgar, as our winner today, you get the honor of telling somebody put words in my mouth, who should I call a shithead? Oh, my God. I got a good one I could suggest to you if you, if you'd like. And it's the four ads for AMC theaters that play at AMC. Can I have two people? Sure.

It's the couple that are in the co-hand. advert. Those two. I never want to see you smiling each other and eating your popcorn everyone. Well, thank you, Beth Tover, Edgar Wright, and Paul Rust. And as always,

the couple have been coax and drag racing in AMA and lambata. At some bombarding are a shithead. Now it's time for Doug to one. Watch another talking eyes of gold is viewing prowess makes him cocky There's no room in it art for you because the
