Doug Loves Movies! Did a really fun show last night in Boston at the Brighton Music Hall, and I pledge I will come back there if they will have me. Graham Elwood played Leonard Maltin game against the audience, and I will play the very echoey audio from that part of the show in mere moments. Knoxville, Nashville, Toronto, Buffalo, Bloomington, Indiana, Dallas, Philly, New Orleans, Oklahoma City, I'm coming to all y'all soon. Dates, deets, and links at DougLovesMovies.com. Now, enjoy Boston Baked Benson. And as always, Graham Elwood making jokes about the movie I actually picked for the Nora Ephron category

while we are playing is a shithead. It is time for some leather balls in Boston. Can we get the lights up just a tad to see what kind of game tags people are going to put over? Jesus, this is funny.

Have you been drinking? This is your honor. Yes, you have. It's very bright in the faces, but people have very big name tags. There's one in the band that somebody somebody loves Doug Loves Movies. Somebody brought Candyland and changed it to what's your name? Randy Land.

That sounds like a porno board game. Randy Land. There's a Batman that says, hello, my name is... what's your name? Dan-Man. Dan-Man. Alright. And we got a... That one's got lights on it. That's pretty. There's another one of someone loves Doug Ross movies, but his is smaller.

That's Needlepoint. That's Needlepoint? Oh, okay. Wow. Yours is. It's needlepoint, motherfucker. Yeah. You better pick it. It took me two years. Yeah. What are you, a fucking asshole? Did you get your fucking needlepoint in the hot second? Why are you putting lights around on that goddamn mid-appointment Christmas tree?

Go fuck yourself! Did someone from Providence just want to raise it? Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! original Frozen banana? Yeah, that's a

nod to the TV program Arrested Development. Back soon on Netflix. People are so excited they think we have something to do with it. Who said that show sucks? Do you really think so? No, I love it. No, I love it.

That was just something to yell. It's a happy awesome. It's a great show. Fuck that show. No, it's great. That's how we love here. Veterans are stupid. Really? No, I love them.

I love them. They're great. They serve their country. I was just saying something. I was angry when you said that. Handicapped people should walk it off. What? No, I was just saying.

I was just yelling out something that didn't make any sense. This is why they participate. Pick a mid-day crowd. Let up needlepoint later. Oh, needlepoint. You might have to do a great job with the name tags. There's some good ones. You might have to come back

and do a full-blown taping of Doug Lo's movies here. This guy's like, I fucking hate your podcast. Now it's great. I love it. Stand over there next to Graham. He probably won't buy it.

What's your name? Chloe Andresia. Chloe Andresia. Nice. Nice. Hold it up so everyone can see. That's needlepoint. That's the word on needlepoint. And you wrote a shithead on the back? I did.

Let me see it, just for future reference. Oh, okay. From back here it looks like it's just a fucking light bright, but, uh, of course it's Eric Dill. That's smart. Did you know that you were going to get here late so you needed something that would light up and attract our attention? Well, that's why I wrote the sheet.

That should have been there. Oh. I don't... That didn't really answer my question. But it's all good. What's your name again? I'm sorry. Chloe.

Chloe. Okay. I'm not going to say that whole thing. I'm just going to call you Chloe. I might even just call you Clue. Just to shorten shit up. Most of you listening to the podcast are here tonight, but anybody who doesn't, this is just between Chloe and Graham. So please don't say anything if you think you know the answer.

Chloe gets to pick a category. I think you know the answer. Chloe gets to pick a category. Would you like, as suggested by at Ben Tumble on Twitter, or Turnbull? Tumble, Tumble. T-U-M-B-U-L-L. Hey.

The Battle of Balls Deep. That's Lord of the Ring actors, films that have Lord of the Ring actors having sex. of the Ring actors, films that have Lord of the Ring actors having sex. Yeah, hot new category. Or, may she rest in peace, Nora Ephron is celebrating a birthday today, so the films of Nora Ephron, which Graham might not be too familiar with, because I don't think Bane was ever in a Nora Ephron movie. No, he was. He was in Singles in Seattle.

Or are we at the top of their bar straight? We were like love. I will let you share my mess with me. Or are we there yet? I'm sorry.

Are we there yet? Movies that take place in Russia. So Russia, somebody went woohoo over there. That's the guy that's been sharing everything. I'm from Russia. So Russia, Nora Ephron, or Lord of the Rings actors having sex?

Mine. Which one do you like? People in the audience always have an opinion even though they don't have your brain. I will do... There is a time limit. I'm going to have to ask you to sit down. Okay, I will do... Bob Seat! There is a time limit. I'm going to have to ask you to sit down. No! Okay. Okay, I will do... Balls deep! No, go over here next.

You know, I've been doing stand-up a long time, hoping someone would yell balls deep. Especially a woman. Yeah, I should have been more specific. I've always hoped that a woman would yell balls deep at me. Balls deep! Give her the whole shout. I want your balls in me also.

Yeah. That's going to be uncomfortable. And that's another thing entirely. What was in my mud hole? Okay, go ahead. That was like your baby. That was like it. That was like it.

Four strong seven years ago, I got a dirty sentence. Do you feel in control of my butthole? Alright. Take control of my butthole. Take control. Is that really the one you want, Chloe? Are we there yet? You want Are We There Yet?

Yeah. Okay. Fair enough. Nobody ever picks it, so I'm thrilled. That's why I picked it. Here's why they don't pick it. Okay. You have a choice between two movies that took place in Russia,

and the years are 1970 and 1975. This is going to be fun, huh? Where's your type? Don't yell him out. Don't yell him out. Okay. 75. Probably the more recent one.

Yeah, 75. Three stars from Leonard for this movie. It's just between Graham and Chloe, you guys. Three stars. 1975. He says, it's one of the most pretentious, what? Three stars, I hate you next time. He says it's one of the most pretentious films of the person that made this film, which

is an interesting comment. He also says that it is funny but uneven and that the music is by Prokofiev. And of course, that makes sense, because it takes place in Russia. And Leonard lists six names in the cast of this movie from 1975. How many names do you think you can name it in, Chloe? I recommend that you say six. Six is a strong one. I will go five. He says five.

Oh, he's got to name it. He'm going to go five. He says five. Oh, he's got to name it. He's got to name it. Here's your five names, Graham, and then I'm going to give you five seconds to say an answer, because I know how you love to stare at the ceiling, holding the microphone like you're going to blow it.

Like you're totally going to go down on that microphone. And, uh... I really want Chloe to win, so I'm not gonna even tell you the clues again. Oh fuck. You still have a chance. Your names are... Zvi Scooter.

Oh. Zvi Scooter. This is a lot. Olga Georges Peacot. Oh, he's serious. This is a lot. Olga Georges Picot. Could be Georges Picot. That's a person, yeah. Alfred Lutter. Okay.

Harold Buehld. Really? And Diane Keefe. Takes place in Russia. Five seconds. Four, three, two, one. Dr. Spock. A better guess would have been Reds, because Diane Keith was in Reds, but this movie

also starred Woody Allen, and it's called Love and Death. Chloe is our winner! Well, that's the most protection thing you've ever done. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me tell you what you won, Chloe.

You won a book called I Love Rock and Roll Except When I Hate It. I didn't read it. I'm just giving it to you. Here, just hold on to that for a second. You also get a copy of my CD, Smugline, and a $10 gift card to iTunes so you can buy premium episodes of comedy film nerds, Doug loves movies, Benson Interruption, a copy

of Savage Henry magazine, the harvest issue that has a drawing of me on the cover. I love that. And is that it? Is it empty now? Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Oh, yeah. What are you throwing in? I'll throw in a copy of my CD of Paul Strachan's Party.

So just come back there. Yeah. Do you drink, Chloe? Of course I do. Of course I do. Why wouldn't I? No people don't drink. Two single drink tickets for right here at Brighton Music Hall.

And those expired a few weeks ago. I don't know why they gave me those. But no, those are good for two free drinks tonight. And that way you can get nice and liquored up while you're waiting in the merch table line to have us sign your needlepoint. Let's hear it for Chloe, everybody. And here, you can have the bag if you want to put everything back in the bag. Chloe, you guys. Let's hear it for Graham Elwood.

Thank you so much, Marcy. And let's hear it for Graham Elway. And let's hear it for all of you for coming out here tonight. A lot of you for standing the entire show. I totally appreciate that. And we really will hang out for as long as it takes to meet

each and every one of you. And I will definitely come back. I've been remiss in not coming back to Boston sooner. And now that we've found a venue that's not... I love the Wilbur Theatre, but it's just too big for this kind of show. And so I'm excited. Hopefully, we'll run into the music hall, want to have you back, and we'll do this again real soon.
