Doug Loves Movies! It would have been third if Stupid Mortal Instruments hadn't barely squeaked by, even though it's in twice as many theaters. Congrats to Simon, Nick, and Edgar, nonetheless. Last Friday night, I got offensively inebriated at the Jesselnick Offensive Season 2 wrap party, and then proceeded to do an interruption of Evil Dead at CineFamily, the 2013 version, which for some reason I referred to as the 2003 version a couple of times on the podcast, so thank you to everyone who notified the corrections department. My guest interrupters were Mario Joyner, Mae Whitman,

and the star of the film, Jane Levy. And you can hear me drunkenly hassling Mae Whitman about Knights of Rodanthe at the end of this mini. And please check out Mario Joyner's Kickstarter. Looking ahead, the next Benson Movie Interruption of CineFamily will be Fast 6, Wednesday at 10 p.m. Thursday, August 29th, I'll be doing a set on the Sarah Silverman and Friends show at Largo in L.A. I think Todd Glass will also be there, so that'll be a crazy good time.

Seattle, Washington, bring your name tags to Bumbershoot on Monday, Labor Day, September 2nd, for Doug Lowe's Movies taping at 5pm. I'll also be doing stand-up shows all weekend, Bumbershoot.org for deets and tics.

Saturday, September 7th, stand-up at ArtsQuest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Sunday, Doug Lowe's Movies at Helium in Philly. New York City, Doug Lowe's Movies at the Gramercy is very close to sold out on Monday, September 9th. But stay tuned for details about a couple other New York shows I'm going to do, especially if you like to visit Yonkers or if you like the initials U, C, and B. And now, here's Drunk Doug, about to interrupt Evil Dead at midnight last Friday. And as always, anyone who swallows your soul

is a soul-swallowing shithead. That was really fast. I wasn't ready. Hey, everybody. One more time for Hadrian. He's taken a cinema and turned it into a cinema family. And I appreciate that because I love doing

these shows here. This is the you know, what do you call it? The mothership of Benson Interruptions. I've been traveling around the country doing them and it's because it all started right here. I'm very happy about it. Speaking of things that make you very happy,

how many people here have seen and enjoyed the most recent 2013 Evil Dead? Okay, the rest of you are in for the most mortifying, disgusting... I haven't seen it yet, but everything I hear about it makes me... makes me not want to see it.

Like, torture porn and blood and vomit, that's not my thing, really. But you know what? That's CineFamily's thing. So here we are. Because I'm telling you, for the longest time, a couple of the powers that be here at CineFamily were like,

you should interrupt the new Evil Dad. I was like, I don't know. It sounds like there's a lot going on in that movie. It would be hard to make jokes or whatever. And then we did an interruption of Hook. And my friend Mae Whitman was here, and she brought along a friend of hers named Jane Levy. And they were

when the subject of an Evil Dead interruption you know that starred Jane Levy came up they were like completely on board so that propelled me to make this happen so please

I've got three interrupters and it's going to be amazing please welcome not only the star of the film Jane Levy but also Mae Whitman and Mario Joyner let's hear it for them applause applause

And then, yeah, Mariah's sitting right there in the two-slot. And you guys can sit together because you know each other. Do you want that mic and folks? There you go. I'm right up front. All right, let's go in order, you guys. Yeah, yeah, they're right up front. We have the couches up front.

Do you need more room? Do you not want to sit that close to me? Is that... Let's talk about this before the movie starts. Yeah, no, get your guests in here, too. Like, are they waiting outside? Okay. Alright.

Oh. Yeah, that's a good idea. You know, you might as well shit before a horrifying movie that makes you want to lose your shit. Just come on in. Yeah, just cruise in there. Yeah, it's all good, dude. I want to thank you for having me here. You know, I finally get to be in the theater and act like a real black person. I don't know if anyone tries to do that at my age. I was hoping I would not have to make that joke myself. You really stepped in and stepped up.

There you go. That's Mario Joyner, everybody. Who has a... Part of the reason he's here tonight, in spite of the fact that... I mean, including the fact that I've always known Mario and enjoyed his work,

but also, tell everybody about the Kickstarter that you have going right now. I actually have a Kickstarter campaign. I'm always voting for a movie. The name of the movie is The Last Original Screenplay, and it's about how remakes ruined Hollywood.

It was 2036. Yeah, so Mario told me, yeah, Mario said, I need to promote this thing about remakes ruining Hollywood, and I was like, oh, would you like to shout at a remake as a tabernacle, as Cinefamily, and also, You Black?

And the answer is... This is research. This is research. Yeah, and he wrote back to me like, what? We can have microphones? That sounds like the most surreal thing. And it's gorgeous. You're going to love it.

And then to also have the star of the film in the room so you can shit all over her. Just copiously crap on her. Nothing to shit on, man. She's a good ass movie. Sorry to break it to you guys. Alright, well, okay, I wasn't going to introduce you yet. I was wrapping up to your best friend. Now let's get you over with. May women is here! Parenthood, Arrested Development, Nights of Rodanthe.

How dare you talk about this? How dare I? How dare you? How crazy is that movie? We have to interrupt that movie. You and me. Let's do it after this. You and me. Yeah, right after this. Get to it, family. Get a print of The Knights of Rodanthe. That is the most fucked up movie ever made.

And you're in it. That's right. It's being fucked up. History. You're the most hysterical character in that movie. It's a Nicholas Sparks film, if you guys want to know the category. It's a romantic... Was that before The Notebook?

It was not before The Notebook. It wasn't? No, no, no. It was a while after. It's kind of the lost Nicholas Sparks. Yeah! It's a nice poetic way of saying it. It's not as big as the other ones. It's not as big as the other ones it's not as big it's Diane Lane and Richard Gere

and James Franco and global warming because there's a horrible storm but the biggest storm in the movie is Mae Whitman who's the most ridiculous daughter a person could have now we're somewhere.

You're hysterical throughout that movie. Because I'm petulant? Because I'm angry? Yeah, you're angry. I'm dealing with divorce. You're angry? A child is a divorce. Divorce is hard for the children.

Thank you. I'll take that. It leads to a lot of screaming. And a lot of the parents. This is the one. A lot of hair screaming. Anyway, we'll conquer that on another day yes we will

there's more plot twists in that movie than probably any movie right? doesn't it take a lot of weird jerks? I mean that's a big statement for me to get behind but I do think that it would be really confusing if we all came back and watched it and interrupted it.

So I'm definitely into it. It's confusing to watch? That's your review? Yes. Thank you for doing this to me. There's a lot of, I apologize. I didn't mean to bring it up, and I will not bring up, I will not say a thing about Independence Day. Oh boy.

You are adorable in it. Thank you, and it does not hold up. It depends on what you're looking for. There are scenes where they're like, we have a computer so we can fly this alien spaceship. It doesn't make any sense. But you are very cute and a child and uh, so shut up. Jane Levy is here starring as Spell! Where's your muggy coat? She's busy folding up her coat.

You're totally cool with us doing this? Yep. Now she is. Would she give you a plug, though? She can't see me. Whatever, this is my time. What?

What? Huh? You're the star of this movie and covered in... How was it? Like you can tell us as it's going on how comfortable or uncomfortable you were at any given moment but

like you're covered in things throughout the entire movie, aren't you? I'm covered in things I get raped by trees Wait a second Wow Nothing like making dudes wish they were a tree Wait a second. I think you are too. Then I brought that back. Wow, nothing like making dudes wish they were a tree. Yeah, making a tree is not like...

Are you satisfied by the tree? No, no, that, in the original movie, I think it's sort of arguable whether she's liking it or not. But in our version... You're clearly not enjoying it. No, I think it's bad. Okay, that's good. That's a good lesson for the younger people watching this. I'm raped by a tree that comes out of a tree branch that comes out of my own mouth and then rapes myself.

Oh, so it's your fault, is what you're saying. Your mouth asked for it. Your mouth put out an olive branch of rape hope. Yeah. I am just following up what she said to confirm it. But is there anything we should look for in the movie or will you point it out as we go along if there's anything we need to know? I think I'll point it out as it goes along. It's like pop-up video. In live. Director's cut. What's the secret? There's lots of secrets.

Oh, okay. You're going to tell us all of them. I'll tell you the secrets. And the people listening to my podcast will not be privy to them. I'm only recording this part. Maybe somebody is still. Let's go ahead. How do we go to your Kickstarter, Mario, to make your... Mario, join it or just last original screenplay.

Go to kickstarter.com and put in last original screenplay. Okay, I want to make sure... Mario Joyner or just a last original screenplay. Go to kickstarter.com and put in last original screenplay. Okay, I want to make sure we stress that. Rip off movies and talk about how people should rip off movies.

Yeah, it sounds awesome. I'm trying to make some money. I'm trying to do the movie. And when the movie gets going, you'll direct it? I'll actually direct it and be the star of it. Okay, and May and Jane and I

will all have parts in it? Of course you will. All right! Let's kickstart this shit! let's kickstart this shit. Kickstart this shit. Woo! This is uncomfortable, what I'm doing. I'm not proud of it.

What are you doing? Are you, like, just checking your texts or recording this shit? Because that's not a good show, me standing here. Wednesday, August 28th. Fast and Furious 6, you guys. It's not sold out yet. So get on top of that.

Do this, Vince. Do this. What? That's my Vin Diesel. What does Vin Diesel say? That's my Vin Diesel. Your first mistake was you took the job.

Second mistake, you came light. It's not from Fast and Furious. Yeah, that was from Pitch Black. Yes. Mine was a Riddick action. Oh, okay. Skittish. Black? Yes. Chronicles of Riddick, yes. Oh, okay. Are you excited about the new Riddick movie?

Yes, I am. Because about four months from now, you and I can interact. I'm going to remake it. Yeah. That's what you're all about, is remakes. Alright, you guys. Let's do this. I always extend the talking time

when I'm scared of the movie I'm about to watch. But we really should get into it, because I should mention this is a midnight screening that's already well after midnight. It's 12.33, So let's all, yeah. Yeah, whatever you have to do to stay awake. Would it help you to stay awake if it was insanely violent

and had a lot of blood and vomit? A woman will be raped by a tree. Stay awake. Yeah, yeah. Who falls asleep while a woman's being raped by a tree that came out of her own mouth? That's like heaven for most of us. Let's give it up.

No sexism. What? I'm sorry. Okay. I didn't mean to interrupt. That's what we're here to do, dude. Why did Jay just go, oh? Is there like a small potted plant nearby you?

Are you okay? All right. Let's do this, you guys. Let's watch Evil Dad! Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie. Eyes of gold, his viewing prowess makes him cocky. There's no room in his heart for you because Doug loves movies!
