Doug hates candy wrappers screaming baby sticky seats with 50 ads and popcorn kernels in his teeth there's still not one that he won't see cause Doug loves movies hey hey hey everybody my name is Doug and I love Austin Texas This is Doug Loves Movies coming to you once again from what day is it? For another Homes Alone edition. It's Sunday, December 27th, 2020. And since I was supposed to be at Cab City Comedy Club,

rest in peace, in Austin, Texas this weekend and for New Year's, I thought, why not do an episode with three of my favorite Austin comedian friends, guests, and they are David Huntsberger, Martha Kelly and Doug Mallard. Hello, everyone. Hey.

Yo, hello. Let's meet them individually and alphabetically starting with david huntsberger hi david hello doug we met in austin uh but then how long have you been out here in los angeles because i you know as it always happens i feel like i saw you more when you lived in Austin than I do when we live in the same place. I moved here in 2008. And then weirdly, when I first moved here, one of my like welcome to town stories, I think involved you.

I went to see Tig at the Old Largo and we were walking along afterward. I think I had done a set early and I think you were on the show as well. And you and I had done, so we knew each other from Austin, but we had done that season or like two seasons before of Last Comic Standing. And I was walking down the street with Tig

and someone kept tapping me on my shoulder. I thought she was just doing a bit or something. I kept like, no, stop it. And then I finally turned around and it was you. And you were like, Hey man, good to see you. Welcome to town. And you know, something to that effect. And I was like, Oh, Hey, thanks. So I nearly ignored you because I thought she was joking by tapping my shoulder incessantly.

Yeah. You can't trust any, any taps when the tigs around. I don't know why I was so indignant. Like, stop tapping my shoulder. I won't have it. I always love talking about the podcast that you did with Tig because I enjoy getting the name wrong, but how long ago did you guys stop doing Captain Sunrise?

My favorite you had for it was, I think, Dr. Takeoff or something like that. Takeoff instead of Blastoff? I hope it's more creative than that. The one you just said was Dr. Sunrise? Captain. Captain. Captain Sunrise.

That's a good one. I think we ended it in 2015. It went for four years 2011 to 2015 and people still like listen to episodes and contact you about the contents yeah it's bizarre i um podcasts are similar but also extremely dissimilar to music so it's like a a band that was around long ago people will email or contact and say like, I just started listening. And I've always feel like to me, podcasts are kind of like a topical thing,

even though if the subject has nothing to do with, we didn't talk a lot about current events then, but still, it just feels like, you know, we're probably talking about like, I, I, I don't know. What are the things called before? What would you play music in like uh ah damn it i'm trying to think of the the shuffle like someone would have like oh i've got my shuffle and i'm listening to it through that and then so when people listen to it now they're like god this podcast is old who listens to it through uh whatever those things are called you're right without even bringing up too much that's topical it's still anything any kind of big topics you're discussing on a podcast you're gonna if people listening don't know what

year it was they're gonna be like are they just do they think 9-11 didn't happen or, you know, whatever? You know, like, why aren't they bringing it up? You know, like that's an interesting thing. Somebody pointed out to me recently about listening to old Doug Loves movies is that it's a way to kind of figure out in your head. Oh, such and such a movie must not have opened yet because nobody's mentioning it in this conversation where it would be an obvious reference. You know? Yeah. But thanks for being

here, David. Sure, man. Thanks for having me. Also joining us is our friend Martha Kelly. Hello, Martha. Hi, Doug Benson. Have you come down yet from the high of watching adam driver bleed out um i definitely have come down from the high of doing anything related to show business

yes it's been a long time of not being in show business this year do you recall when we first met like was it in austin texas or are out in california um i don't know because when when i started stand up you were out here but you were already like doing well and I was open micro so I don't know our paths crossed so it might have been Austin when we first met I'm glad we're on the same page of not remembering we did it yeah it's not awkward that way yeah but I do think of you as a as an austin comic and you've been on this show at uh at cap city in austin right and uh so i just trying to uh you know kind of pay tribute to the austin comedy scene which now i guess is going to be is the epicenter of all comedy it's uh yeah now it's weird i guess it's gonna be taken over by some

people who recently moved to town and i probably won't name but yeah cap city is gone which is you know a bummer but uh no i think something else will you know somebody some somebody smart is going to open up something in town you know especially once uh you know once we get through the the pandemic situation yeah well somebody dumb is also going to open up something in town so it'll be very interesting it'll be a real A real battle Yeah Which is you know I mean who knows

Might be good for business overall I hope so There are a lot of Great comics that live there And there's a great audience For stand up in Austin So hopefully it'll come back yeah yeah absolutely i mean the people went out to that weird spot that cap city was located you know that hey you guys let's go down to research boulevard and uh check out the comedy in

the weird strip mall but um you know, people made the effort. They live in Austin. It has been a great comedy town for as long as I can remember. So I'm sure it will come roaring back. And speaking of roaring, the often outspoken and loud Doug Mellard is here. Hey, buddy. Arr! Is that good?

I got a... Oh, sorry. Go ahead. I was just going to say, how's it going? We, of course, met in Austin. I'm sure we've spoken about that on the uh wide world of doug's podcast that we now co-host together right um yeah we met at cap also which is yeah on which is said uh i wanted to pile on to huntsberger mentioned last comic standing and i got a quick story about that when we were on together uh we were so dumb we

thought if we won because we were new enough that if we were to tour and win the whole thing we thought it might actually sink us because we didn't have an hour yet to tour with so every time the cameras came to us we told this really boring story about potato salad we tanked it every time and the camera guys loved us they thought it was so funny but all of it was unusable and matt fulcher on piled on as well yeah he got in the mix bless his heart he was the only one that found it funny everyone else like there was that thing where there'd be a group of people and then the boom mic would drop in and they're trying to get some everyone just acting normal footage which is so gross to pretend like you don't see this boom mic and just so some comics go oh i would tell you

about my uncle they'd launch into this story doug would always go hey what'd you have for lunch and i'd go oh man well let me tell you and I just go as slowly as possible through this potato salad story. It happened because we were at the Austin airport flying out to L.A. with Brennan Walsh. And we all split up to get food. And David came back with his potato salad, told this 20-minute, epically boring story about his potato salad. And Brennan or I was like, you should tell that on Last Comic last comic standing like as a joke but then we did it several times and then at the end you know they're doing all the uh and the next person going to the whatever next round so the camera guys are having to run from tent to tent these giant heavy at the time very you know like old school news reporter cameras over

their shoulder and uh one of the guy was standing there with it kind of resting on his hip, clearly exhausted. And I was like, man, you must be so tired. He goes, dude, I cannot wait to go home, open up a beer, crack open some potato salad. He's a good sport. Oh God. Memories. he's a good sport yeah oh god memories well thanks to all three of you for being here um yeah dude

box office let's talk about the box office this weekend or lack thereof well you know, a big movie came out, the number one movie, Wonder Woman 1984 with a gross I guess this is

North American gross of $16.7 million for Christmas weekend. That's at the theater. People went out to theaters and watched Wonder Woman. Yeah, I'd say drive-ins

and limited capacity theaters. Because lots of places movie theaters are open. It's weird being in Southern California for all this time because, you know, even though you can go out and do a million things, it's still like so much more locked down than, you know, lots of other places in the country.

Yeah. But like, yeah, people have been just going to movies. Like, you know, there's a severe drop off for the number two movie only made a few million dollars. But it's that Tom Hanks News of the World movie. I'm taking her home. And then like the Croods is doing well, like any animated movie seems to do well at the drive ins, you know, because you can take a pile of kids into a car and remain in your car bubble and see a movie. But then people just run around between the cars,

you know, without their masks on, and it's just all... It's just mayhem. The streaming companies are so, like, sort of tight-lipped about their numbers of streams things get but at some point they're gonna have to figure out a way to quantify like soul just came out right it seems like that probably did really well people at home especially with kids watching an animated movie but how can they say how well it did without sort of giving it away giving away

you know how many people they've got in them in in the, in their pot. Well, you know, Netflix, they've decided to make it part of the, you know, choosing process as they put three lists up every day of top 10, overall top 10 movies and top 10 TV shows. And I've been really closely watching the uh you know what's number one in the on the list of movies and it's really it's really interesting the stuff that netflix is pouring all their money and heart into isn't even necessarily making it to number one on netflix and they're admitting it uh like this this new one with george clooney it's number one right now the midnight sky but it could be replaced any day now by just some stupid christmas movie just because i think netflix is a real it just feels like a families are determining what you know what the most popular things on there are yeah right um started letting uh like really dumb reality shows on there it felt

like they're gonna go the way that everything does where they no longer have any interest in taste it's just what do people want and the people want stupid ass shit all the time and so then netflix is going to become just a junkyard i think all the other places are going to maybe like hbo has a threshold it seems like uh disney plus or whatever will but netflix will be like yeah people watch it we'll put it up right that makes sense yeah i mean it doesn't matter if a show fails on Netflix because people are all just paying for the monthly service. So as long as you're giving people variety,

like the thing I've been really frustrated by is as much as I like foreign films, I don't want to see all the foreign releases. I don't want to be bombarded all the foreign releases like we you know i don't want to be bombarded with them like we are here but then you go on netflix and half the time when something looks interesting it's either a tv show or a movie from another country with subtitles which you know i do like watching more and more of that stuff but uh I don't want to be tricked into it. Nice.

Okay, so that's the box office report. It was pretty exciting. Well, did you watch Wonder Woman? I have not watched Wonder Woman because, you know, it's there on my TV any time I feel like watching it. Like, I would have seen it day one if it was you know if i could go to a movie theater uh safely but um you know now that it's in my tv and i'm already hearing mixed things about it i just

totally lose steam because there's so many there's so many things that I haven't seen or want to rewatch that are going to be amazing that this just feels like obligatory viewing rather than, you know. And I might actually enjoy it, you know, but I wasn't that crazy about the first Wonder Woman. I thought it was good. You're not going to be crazy about this one. Exactly. But, you know, i'm still excited enough like kirsten wigg being the uh kirsten wigg being the yeah a bad guy is uh you know intriguing enough to me that i will i will

definitely see this movie sure yeah i've decided to um stop watching super i was never that big into superhero movies but now um looking i know they're huge globally as well but as a country where um the masked singer does really well and people think 5g towers are a reason to not wear masks and shit like that i just really want our kids to start reading again so i'm off superhero movies yeah i think that's uh that's the world the world needs to make that uh decision because i mean just for me personally they did too good a job of you know wrapping things up with the final two Avengers movies in terms

of like for all those characters to just continue to be in stories I don't know I just don't have that much enthusiasm for it but then again you know the idea of Thor and Peter Quill like in

a movie together, like a cop buddy thing, but they're those, you know, they're characters from Avengers. That's already kind of, you know, and it's pretty entertaining to me.

So I'm just saying my allegiance is flip and flap in the wind. I'm just saying my allegiance is flip and flap in the wind. So I'm not going to make a firm statement at this time about future superhero movies. But like, seriously, I mean, has Tom Holland, is that the new Spider-Man? Right. Yeah. Has he been in like 10 of those already? He's been in quite a few. It just seems like there's just a constant spider-man output and

then the cartoon the spider-verse animated thing is way better than anything yeah it's epic it's so good martha's in the mcu she she played a guard spider-man i've played a yeah i've played a um park ranger slash elevator guide pretty exciting which one was it um homecoming the first one with oh Holland. She's getting a spin off of that character. So you would go out and examine resources in a part of an ecosystem and then come in and tell people how to use the elevator? I mean, hopefully that's what my character was doing off screen. She might have just been standing around snacking,

uh, before taking people up the elevator. Um, you know, did you like going into, I assume you saw Batman V Superman. Uh, I did not. Oh.

Do you know where I'm going with this? No, but I would like you to continue. Did you know that Superman and Who's the other guy? Batman? Did you know that both of them Their mother's name is Martha? Now that you mention that Yes, I have heard that

Yeah And in that movie They decide to stop fighting Because their mothers are both named Martha Hmm That's a movie they decide to stop fighting because their mothers are both named Martha I'm glad we finally have your your your reaction to that on the record it sounds like a really bad reason to stop fighting it's really it's pretty it's pretty hilarious so it's like you know that's why the other the guys are like giggling in the background because it's like it really did put a weird uh taint on the name martha i can see why. Martha hates taints too.

I was just giggling because I was picturing the fight scene of like, my mother Martha didn't raise me to lose fights. Wait, your mother's name is Martha? And they just shake hands and walk off. It's kind of like that. It's pretty much how it goes down, yeah. And then was that, has ben affleck been batman since then or did but isn't robert padden okay yeah you're right about all of it it's so weird it's so weird like

it's i i just don't know how many times they think we need to have another, you know, a different take on Batman. It's like, he's a, he's such a mythical, like, it's just like,

you know, they don't make King Kong over and over again that much. Cause he's still just going to be a big monkey and Batman's still just going to be a guy in a fucking cape running around, you know, fighting crime or causing it, whatever. Yeah, my favorite was the Christian Bale Batman movies. I don't really have that much interest in it before or after those, but... Yeah, I think they did a really good job there and it doesn't it didn't need to happen again like immediately you know at least so soon yeah like but i guess they you know

they need a batman to be part of the you know a piece of the puzzle where they could throw him into the uh you know the other movies with the other characters that they're not as confident in you know right it's all about protecting the investment and the bottom line and all that nonsense. That's why it's kind of amazing the Marvel movies turned out as well as they did. I think that we might be rounding a corner now where we might see a lot of bad superhero movies. Yeah.

The comic book people always kind of justify it with like, well, they've been writing and rewriting, you know, these storylines for 70 years or whatever with the same characters. It's just part of it. You just take your own spin on it. I get that, but I am, I'm really glad some of them end and people go, that was good. Let's leave it alone. And I'm glad that hasn't, that need to redo shit hasn't taken over like 20 versions of the wizard of oz or something like that i just it

would really bother me i thought the one that ended real well was uh you know uh hugh jackman leaving the wolverine yeah yeah that was good i think that was the last one i watched i like that yeah i really think that you just last one I watched. I liked that. Yeah, I really think that you just fucking, more of these movies need a funeral. And not like a, but he's also a ghost kind of shit. Just like they're gone. Yeah, it was great the way

Logan ended where he found out his mom's name was Martha and then he killed himself. It was perfect. Oh, Doug. Real quick oh doug um real quick before we get into the game part of the show i need recommendations don't need if you don't have one it's no big deal but uh if you could share a recommendation of a movie that people could watch during these troubled yet tainted times. I just re-watched Cop Car and loved it. Cop Car? Yeah.

Have you seen that? Is Kevin Bacon in it? John Watts, I think, directorial debut. He actually did the first Spider-Man, but I think that's what landed him the spider-man job but it's it's great it's real simple and real sweet cop car a couple kids steal a uh evil sheriff's cop car and shenanigans begin okay kevin bacon puts in a really good performance. Yeah, I feel like I've spoken of it or heard about it, but not seen it.

But there's more and more movies now that, like, you know, I'll have to watch the trailer or the first couple minutes of the movie before I go, oh, I have seen this one. Oh, right, yeah. But also, some trailers also just, like, some of them just, they encapsulate a movie so well that, like, then when you're watching it, you're like, have I seen this already? Yeah.

Well, they'll give everything away. Yeah. Yeah. They'll just show shots from the very end of the movie. Like, now I watch, if I remember to, when I finish a movie, I immediately watch the trailer that's on whatever streaming service it's on. I just immediately watch the trailer just to just see when it's fresh in my mind how they just cherry pick what to show and really just give away everything. Yeah.

I kind of like a blink thing. We'll watch as little of the trailer as necessary to be like, yeah, yeah yeah that looks good yeah and that can be detrimental there's this movie on netflix called marauders and its trailer is fantastic this is really cool the way it's shot looks neat and there's this these bad guys that look really intriguing and they talk through like pushing a button on their watch it's like open the bag you have this amount of time do it now that's sort of like their mouths are totally motionless and i was like oh this done not even gonna watch the rest of this trailer and it's the worst movie

i've seen it is so bad do you think you cut off the trailer before it got to the bad parts in the in the trailer they just did a beautiful job with the trailer of like don't show any of the atrocious parts of this movie just show those bad guys a lot i just watched a movie on prime that i you know stumbled on you know i saw the trailer but it was like a month or two before the movie was going to come out so i was like well i'm cool and i watched the movie it's called i'm your woman and um you know it's it's all right but it's one of those movies that when it's over you're kind of like what compelled everyone involved to like what was driving everyone to tell this story this way. And then I look at the trailer, and whoever got their hands on the footage from the movie and put the trailer together

made a much slicker and fun-looking, an exciting-looking movie just in the trailer from pieces of this kind of drawn-out, kind of boring... You can't even really call it an action movie there's so few moments of actual action but I don't know it was a weird movie but the trailer really made it look

slick and cool so I think just good trailer people deserve a lot of credit because they can really put some lipstick on that pig they can plus they can use any part of the pig true yeah they can use any part of the pig. True, yeah. They can even use parts of the pig

that are just dragging along on the floor next to it. A pig has $100 more in its mouth. Great. Based on just the poster one time, on a screen on a plane and then i re-watched it later because i liked it so much this movie called arctic you guys seen that love it yeah you recommended it and then i watched it i loved it so good is that the one with uh what's his name mads yeah he's that guy is so good i i i sad to say I fell asleep pretty early on because I was

taking on subtitles when I probably shouldn't have but there's this movie called oh now I can't think of what it's called with Mads? Another Round and it's about Mads Mikkelsen plays this guy he lives in this town

where somehow the men get it in their heads that like they'll be more productive and successful if they're continuously drunk like if they you know if you just drink all the time like if you just got like five percent of whatever in your you know in your system that like it you know makes you better in some crazy ways and uh that's the premise but i didn't but i like i said i fell asleep so but but mads mickelson is always uh that guy's tremendously talented yeah there's not a lot of time i feel like it's him at his absolute best yeah it's it's shocking he didn't get some more recognition for how good it is um well if you're talking mads at his best. Has anybody seen Men and Chicken? No.

What? I can't even confidently say that is or is not a real movie. Men and Chicken is absolutely nuts. I guess it's kind of a creepy comedy and

he plays this really creepy dude who finds out he's related to some... that he's got a family he didn't know about when somebody dies. And, I mean, I don't want to give anything away, but it's just a crazy movie. Men and Chicken. Love it.

Yeah. Yeah. I think there's also a movie called Man vs. Chicken, which is a documentary about like uh chicken mcnuggets or something oh i'm in for that and there's another documentary called man versus snake that's about what's that video game that was like a snake that would get longer and longer until you crash into yourself nibbler nibbler yeah that was? I feel like it's almost as good as King of Kong. It's pretty entertaining. I mean, the guy

is so fucking good at Nibbler. It's pretty hilarious. Yes. It doesn't even seem like most video games this kind of sounds cool. You're good at that game? Yeah, I'm great at Space Invaders. What are you good at? Nibbles.

Make Martha's character into a video game. Elevator snacks. What was your movie recommendation, David? I said Arctic. Oh, yeah, Arctic, Arctic. But also any Charlie Kaufman stuff. I feel like he's really great. I watched Being John Malkovich recently.

I always assumed I had seen it. I've never seen it start to finish. It's great. It's really good. It's really, and then there's elements. All of his elements came together best in that one, I think. I think everything else he does, I find things about it or stretches of the movie aggravating. Agreed.

Especially that. How do you pronounce the one? The New York one? I was just going to ask that. Schenectady? Yeah, but you know, it's spelled not like Schenectady. Yeah, it's spelled not like schenectady yeah it's spelled like sinek to kick the synodos or something like that yeah uh but that movie is just really uh that's a that's hard to sit through he must be hard to date but it's by design though too like like that's part of what's frustrating to me about him is he kind of i think he likes to torture his the people who like his stuff like uh uh what's the new one called i'm thinking of ending things yeah um i can't believe i forgot

it because i certainly wanted to kill myself several times. No, it's really that movie is like I did not enjoy sitting through it, but I'm very glad that I did. That's weird. That's probably how I would best describe it too. It really stayed with me even though the

experience itself was just frustrating and boring. Is that a recommendation? really stayed with me even though the experience itself was just frustrating and and and boring so is that a recommendation or no it's like i i found a movie that like if i throw it on if i'm having trouble sleeping if i throw it on i'll be i'll be out in you know mere minutes. It's just a really, it's just a movie where there's just a key piece of information that if you don't have it before you start watching the movie,

you just don't even, you barely understand what's happening. But if you do have that piece of information, then you kind of understand what's happening. Is there a way I can get that information yeah it's called the internet okay yeah people people love to talk about it like it's it's really um has anybody seen it have you guys seen it i have not yeah i I felt exactly the same way you described it. And then how you described how he likes to kind of torment the viewer to a certain degree. I feel like it might have been by design in this one, in that, not to give too much away, but sort of what the movie is about is how you feel. You leave feeling like that, or even during the whole thing, that same feeling, which is kind of strange, very kind of meta, I guess.

Yeah. It's I'm more intrigued by what the information is. All right. You have to watch that chicken nuggets documentary before you watch this. I'm just convinced that this is something that you is not nobody I guess people do figure it out but I don't think I would have ever figured it out if I just hadn't have

read about it before watching the movie I went in knowing nothing so I'm intrigued if I was on the right track because I felt like I totally understood it but maybe that was just my takeaway. Well, the girl that the movie is...

I think this is going to help people because if you're still going to watch it at this point, I think you... I hope you wouldn't be offended by knowing this ahead of time. But the girl at the center of the story does not exist. And as do many other characters because it's all in the head of the the guy played by jesse plemons interesting

interesting because you see it mostly through like her eyes yeah little it's him imagining a the reason why like a lot of the time they get along so great is because he's imagining a great girlfriend but then the reason things go bad is because he's a toxic male who has to fucking obsess over everything even in a fantasy. Yeah. Okay. I mean, it's, but it goes much deeper than that. It gets very, it's very confusing.

You know, like I said, like knowing that made me go, okay, that makes more sense. That makes more sense. Like things start to make more sense, but they don't necessarily make sense you know they're like closer to making sense yeah um so but you know it's everybody involved really uh really committed to it yeah the acting is is great what do you think martha have you thought of a movie you'd like to recommend um yeah it's from a few years ago but i just watched it um american hustle uh oh yeah actually was not prepared for how sweet and funny christian bale and amy Adams were. I loved it. I wasn't expecting to.

Yeah, that Christian Bale, he can pull shit off. I never walk away from a Christian Bale movie going, what was he doing in that? What was he going for? You know what? I also haven't watched it yet,

but I want to watch his Terminator Salvation because I saw the clip of him yelling at the DP. And now I want to watch that movie, even though it didn't get good reviews. Have you seen that? I think, you know, that's the thing is, I think part of the yelling that he was doing is he probably knew he was in the middle of a movie that, you know, wasn't really working. Well, it's funny because there's a guy in a cardboard box robot simulation.

simulation. It's just a guy and it's all green screen and he's, this guy's in a green bunch of cardboard boxes to look like a robot. And then he falls over and you hear robot noises as he's unable to get up and it's really

fucking fantastic. That's not in the movie. That's in the clip of Christian Bale yelling, but it's pretty good. Okay. I'm just going to put down American Hustle. Yeah, put that down. It's really, I thought it was going to be very different than it was.

So definitely it's good. All right. Let's play some games all right we gotta do a brief commercial break and then we're gonna play so we'll be right back no flipping all right we're back and we are gonna play some games games with my three Austin friends. Let's start with something that I call Old MacDonald. We'll go alphabetically. I'll start with David, then go to Martha, then go to Doug. to Martha and then go to Doug.

All right. I'll name a movie and you tell me if it has Macaulay Culkin, Donald Sutherland, or neither. Okay. So your answer would be, you know,

Mac or Donald or neither. Great. And if David misses it, then Martha has got a two out of three chance of guessing it right. And then if she misses it, Doug gets the gimme and proceeds like that. David,

Mac, Donald or neither in a movie called Digby, the biggest dog in the world. Digby, the biggest dog in the world. I can't imagine Mac going off the Home Alone success into something that terrible. And yet I can picture his parents at the time managing him, like, take the paycheck, son.

Maybe Donald Sutherland was going through the period where he was transitioning into kind of beloved grandfather, who could also be evil, very convincingly. I'll say Donald Sutherland. That's incorrect. Damn it. Martha, what do you think?

I'm gonna defy expectations and guess neither. That is correct. In fact, neither. Neither of those gents were in that gym. All right. Doug, you're up first with this next one.

My girl, too. Neither. That is correct. All right. Doug is on the board. David. Not doing so great. McDonald or neither.

Home Alone 3. I left the franchise, guys. I'll admit it. I feel bad about it now. I've never needed it more. I watched the second. I never watched the third. I don't, I feel very confident Mac wasn't in it.

And have we had a Donald yet? No, we haven we have i'll guess donald again i'll stick with him that was incorrect i love i love all the reasoning though i like to see people like to see someone's work um what is what did you make of all of that, Martha? Which one do you think of the two remaining options? I'm going to guess neither, only because I know sometimes you like to go on a roll, Doug. So I'm going to guess you're going to keep it going with neither, but I could be wrong. That is correct.

Oh. Yeah. You have two points now, Doug. That is correct. Oh. Yeah. You have two points now. Doug? Donald Sutherland, I thought, played Macaulay Culkin's character in the third one. I mean, he's got a weird building or something.

He's got... Anyway, Doug? What's up? I'm about to say too much. What about a film called Sixteen Candles? Doug Millard. Definitely not Macaulay. Donald in that.

I'll say Donald. Incorrect. God damn it. David. I'm going to let Martha get the roll, if it is a roll. And I'm going to say Macaulay was a baby. He was just born. That might seem.

No, he would have been seven or so. He's in it being a cute kid, getting his break. Of course, it's neither. but I'm going to guess Mac. That's incorrect. Martha, what does that leave? Neither. That's correct. For the win, Martha Kelly, you did it. Woo-hoo!

You rode the neither wave. That was expertly played. And you know what you win for doing that? What? You get to go first in our next and final game. Oh. It's a new game that people I'm just going to assume they love it because they don't say anything

to me about it. It's called So-and-So and the Something Something. Have you played this before, Doug? I don't believe so. Okay. Well, you know movies like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom Alexander and the Terrible Really Bad No Good Day Is that what that was called?

That would have been my guess Yeah that was There was no points for that, answering that question. That was just a real question from my heart. That's what David's old podcast was called. Yeah, and I was giving a, from my heart, more than likely incorrect answer.

So what I do is I take movies that don't have a title like that that don't have somebody's name followed by a thing that they're associated with in some way and you have to guess what movie I'm referencing. Okay. Oh, I like it. I like it a lot. It's pretty, it's difficult. It's a difficult game.

So don't beat yourself up if you can't come up with the answer, but also it's a fun game. And there's just certain movies that we all have that we actually know the name of the main character, like first and last name. But in most cases, that's not information that we necessarily remember. And sometimes I do ones where it is just a first name because that does happen in movie titles like the one I referenced earlier, Alexander. Right. And the dot, dot, dot dot let's not get into it okay Martha gets to go

first and if she misses it or can't think of an answer then it goes to Doug and then David Martha what movie do you think should have been called? Chief O'Halloran and the Big Burning Building.

Ah. Oh, wait. I wanted to say Die Hard, but then realized probably Towering Inferno? Is that your final answer? Towering Inferno, yeah.

That is correct. Nice. Yeah, Martha Kelly's on the board immediately. She came to play today. This is the first time I've ever done well on Doug Loves Movies. This might be in your wheelhouse, remembering what some character's name was. This is my path back into a show business career. Chief O'Halloran was, of course, he was played by Steve McQueen.

And Paul Newman's character in that movie, his name was Doug Roberts. Oh, whoa. Yeah. All right. Speaking of Doug, you're up now, Doug. Okay. What movie, I hope I pronounced this name right. What movie could have been called Shelby Etentin Lachere and Some Juice?

I'm going to ride the neither wave and say neither I don't know you're out there everyday riding the neither wave what do you think David do you think you know what it is can you repeat it again? Yeah, Shelby E. Tenton Latch Array.

L-A-T-C-H-E-R-E. E-R-I-E. Latch Array. Latch Array. And some juice. I'm going to go with the Omar epps tupac shakur vehicle called juice no i'm sorry that's not it damn it business martha 20 seconds on the clock um oh god uh juice okay um i have no idea i'm so sorry that's okay

um when she has her uh you know she has an attack she has a seizure right there in the beauty parlor oh I know so somebody had to get Shelby some juice

now I know it yeah steel magnolias. Yeah. No late points, I'm afraid, but I do appreciate that you figured it out. Nobody got a point on that round, so it's back to Doug again. Okay. Hoke, Colburn, and the backseat bitch. Hoke, Colburn and the backseat bitch

oh I have a guess for that oh man I know it back to the future David I have a guess I don't know if this is accurate but i'm gonna guess driving miss daisy that is correct oh man that is the one great that is it my dummy all right we're back to martha who has one point. David has one point. Doug still has to get on the board.

Martha, what movie was I thinking should be called Sunny and the Really, Really Bad Robbery? Oh, Really Bad Robbery. Is it Dog Day Afternoon? That is correct. I knew two in a row. This is Martha's game. She wasn't kidding around.

I knew that one in Towering Inferno, but mine I did not know. Oh, okay. I'll try to give you ones you know. That would be great. ones you know. That would be great. Alright.

Doug, are you ready? Yeah. Which movie do I think could be called Melanie Daniels and the Pecking Problem? Melanie Daniels and the Pecking problem. Melanie Daniels and the pecking problem. Pecking. Pecking.

Oh, God. Pecking problem. I'm going to go with Captain America Winter Soldier. I have no idea. Sorry. Sorry. Let's go to David. I'm gonna guess pretty in pink. Okay.

It's so obvious when you... Don't people peck her on the cheek and stuff and she's not wild about it? My guess People peck her on the cheek and stuff, and she's not wild about it. My guess is The Birds. That's correct. Wow. Martha's running away with this thing. I even thought, what movie has birds in it? Oh, the movie The Birds.

Yeah. Dummy. I thought that one was too easy to be honest. It really was in hindsight. I blame this damn pandemic. Let's try and... Let me give Doug another one. See how he does. Not well.

Spoiler. Rose Sayre and the Romantic River Ride. Oh, Romance in the Stone. No. No, David. Rose, I've never seen Titanic,

but that's not a river, but there's a rose in that, I think. Oh yeah. That's a good mislead. Yeah. Um, this is wrong, but damn it. I watched it recently. I think it still holds up as like an okay movie. Uh, Meryl Streep's vehicle, the river wild. No. Dang it. Cause it's pretty romantic on that that river her and her husband rekindle things

you know they just redo that rekindling like holly genero and and uh john mcclain where do you know it's not gonna last yeah probably just rekindling under fire. Yeah, true. But they seem to have more substance because they're together the whole time. Whereas McClane stumbles out all bloody and suddenly is like, by the way, we're back. She's like, yeah, look at you. You're all shirtless. Hello. Martha?

Can you say the clue again? Yeah's rose sayer and the romantic river ride um i'm sure this is wrong but jewel of the nile oh that is a good guess though it's way better than romancing the stone well the nile is a river that That's fine. This is a classic called The African Queen. Oh. Which it looks like they remade with Emily Blunt and The Rock. Wow. Yeah. You got to hand it to show business.

We'll see. You sure you want back in, Martha? we'll see you sure you want back in Martha I mean all I need is a blood on the rock and I'm in for a good time have you ever noticed that the rock is like this big

muscular superhero guy but he's rarely ever romancing up ladies it's kind of an interesting move oh true yeah I think he like you know loves his wife or some some shit like that that's really disappointing yeah that is where it is interesting because also he's in movies where there's

you know titillation is allowed like he was in the baywatch movie. Yeah. But yeah, I don't think he makes out with too many people. He must in something like, what about Tooth Fairy? Yeah, that has full penetration. Weirdly. Alright, let's do a tough one. You ready, Doug, for a tough one? Oh, yeah, good. I can't wait.

I'm just kind of proud of this one. Peter Bretter and A Taste for Love. What? Peter Bretter and A Taste for Love. There's exactly two clues in that one. Oh, boy. And I think people who are really familiar with this movie would recognize one or both.

But that's the problem, Doug. Are you familiar with this movie? I guess not. I'll say RoboCop 2. Got Peter Weller. David. A wetter taste for love. whether taste or love the taste

for love critic falling in love I don't even know if I have I'll guess the movie chef if I have, I'll guess the movie Chef. It's down to Martha again. Oh God, this is a

lot of pressure because it should be guessable. Is it I don't even know if this is how the title of the movie I'm thinking of, is it like Water for Chocolate? No, I mean, that is a good, that is a title. But in this case, the character is played by Jason Siegel and he puts on he puts on a theatrical

production that is a musical about Dracula called A Taste for Love in Forgetting Sarah Marshall yeah got it I think you gotta be a real forgetting Sarah Marshall head

to know that yeah what was the name of that vampire puppet show and then when I looked it up I was like okay they could have probably come up with something more clever than that but anyway

Martha's running away with this thing, so I'm going to call it. Congratulations, Martha. Oh, my God. What an honor. Congratulations. Guys, I did it. This is my COVID comeback.

This is so exciting. Martha, could you come back again on the next show? We're going to tape. We normally don't do it on Wednesdays but this week we are taping on Wednesday at two o'clock two o'clock Wednesday

yes if you're sure you want me to come back you'll have to commit to seeing at least one movie to tell us about between now and uh wednesday okay i can commit to that all right then you're confirmed as our ongoing champion for next wednesday's show okay and uh congratulations on that but also what would you like to plug? Is there any direction you'd like to send people to enjoy your acting and or comedy?

Well, there's a couple things. One is this coming Wednesday evening, starting at 8 o'clock Central Time. I'm doing the year in review um on on twitch i think and it's a austin based show where there are the whole uh year this past year is divided up into months and there are three or four comics per month doing jokes about stuff that happened that month and And this is for charity. So if you tune into that and the other thing for acting, if you can get a hold of any of the terrible auditions I have taped over the past several months, I highly recommend watching those for fun. That's those are the two things I'd like to promote.

All right. Get your hands on those tapes, everybody. You know, anybody in show business who can get it to you. Thank you, Martha. We'll see you again on Wednesday. Thanks Doug. David Huntsberger. What's going on? Well, I have a brief cameo in show business in a sci-fi show called The Movie Show. It's a sketch show hosted by Puppets.

I think it's on at 11. But if you have the sci-fi channel, probably DVR it. The Movie Show. It's a funny premise. It's these two puppets that host a cable access movie review show out of Modesto, California. And I'm in, I think, episode nine. California. And I do, I'm in, I think episode nine. If you're looking for stuff to stream, I made a standup thing that also has animation. And so if you partake in any sort of a mind altering substances, you might enjoy that. You can just have it on in the background. You can

find it on Amazon prime. It's called one headed beast. And then if you're looking for a little escape from the world, which I think everyone potentially could be these days, a healthy one to do is my friend, Wendy Molino and I made this like seven episodes of a podcast. It's about nothing. It's just pure silliness. They're like 30, 20 to 30 minutes long. It's called, these are those tapes you can find that everywhere podcasts are.

Fantastic. I'm sorry we ran out of time for your plugs, Doug. Doug Mallard, co-host of Wide World of Doug's, back with all new episodes thrice monthly, beginning again in January there it is part of the Misfit Toys collective of comedy podcasts what else is going on

Doug you can also grab my album Fart Safari 3 Fart Hard with a Vengeance that just came out and I will also be on that year in review show with Martha. Yay. On Wednesday.

Awesome. Get out on Twitch. Yeah. Very nice. I just did a show yesterday. Very thankful to all the people who came out. It was a good time. Not sure when the next one's going to be.
