Doug hates candy rappers screaming baby sticky seeds with 50 ads and pop more kernels in his teeth. There's still not one that he won't see. Because Doug. Hey, hey, hey, everybody. My name is Doug and I still love movies. This is Doug loves movies recording on Wednesday afternoon, June 10th, 2026. And my guest today are two favorites, and I'm sure to be a new favorite, Jeff Tate, Justin Thompson, and Jill.

Oh, my God. I'm sorry I didn't ask ahead of time. Here we go. Jill Weiner. Weiner. It was a 50-50, and I'm glad I didn't take the shot. And hello to all three of you, but let's meet you individually, alphabetically, by first name. He can be seen at the bad space in Salem on February 23rd, 2020.

It's Jeff Tate. Hello, hello everybody. You all right? Yeah, yeah. It's a two-year-old plug. Yeah, because I, you know, went on your Instagram, and it's, you can click for, you know, more information. And one thing is your road date, one says road dates, the other one says tickets for Salem. Yeah.

Yeah, and it's still there. So how'd that show go? Was it good? I think it went pretty well. I can't remember it. So it definitely wasn't one of the worst. Well, the only other date I could find on your Instagram is that you're going to be at the Comedy Club

Underground in Minneapolis on March, something of 2024. Oh, dang. I was supposed to be there in March of this year. And then I had to get it moved because there was a lot was happening. It was crazy, right? Yeah. But then you went back and did the new date.

Yeah, and it was great. Very nice. She is a first-time guest who arrives here via recommendation by Caitlin Palufo, and can be seen. I hope this is an accurate plug at Grove 34 in Astoria on June 18th. It's Jill Weiner. Hey, oh, thank you. Yes, that's happening next week.

Yeah. And I see that also, speaking of Caitlin, you're going to be appearing with her at Helium in Atlanta, June 25th and the 26th. You got that right. So, whoa, whoa. Yeah. I didn't know there was a helium in Atlanta.

It's an Alibetta. It's an alphabet. Oh, that's. It's an Alphabet of Georgia, but very close. I've been there because there's been over the years, there's been a few clubs that, like, call themselves the Atlanta, something rather, and then it's in, turns out it's in Alpharetta. But I'm sure this is a nice one, you know, the heliums.

You know what they say about the heliums, Jeff. I do. It's a gas. Exactly. Their slogan is just a fact about the word. That I came up with. and they refuse to embrace it as their, as their, I guess because people really don't call things a gas anymore.

I guess there's, are you gassing me up is like a newer thing that I don't think is, I don't think that's a positive thing. I think comedy clubs in general are allergic to good ideas. With the price of gas these days, you think the expression gassing me up would be positive. Yeah. You know, oh, you're giving me free gas. Thank you very much.

You just gave me $40,000. So much free gas. So part of Caitlin's recommendation of you, Jill, was the fact that she says that you're excellent in a movie trivia. Is this true? Yeah. I mean, I've seen a lot of movies. I guess we'll find out. Well, you know, it's...

anybody's game to lose today because Jeff is quite good at it, but also, you know, it's not necessarily, well, you know, it's sort of like it hits your wheelhouse or it does in some of the questions and games. But it's a pleasure to have you here, and I appreciate your enthusiasm for it. Well, I'm thrilled, so thank you. First time, long time, okay? Okay, nice. And speaking of long time, he is going to be in my face for several days because we're working together at Soul Joles in Pottstown, Pennsylvania on June 26 and 27th. It's Justin Thompson. Hey, Justin. Hey, Doug. What's up, buddy? Oh, you know, going to see you soon.

Yeah, making your big Potsetown debut. Yeah, which is crazy. You think I would. have been there already because I love any place with the word town in the name. Yeah, looking forward to it. Yeah, we'll see you soon, buddy. Yeah. What? I was just going to say, yeah, man, I'm happy to be here.

Thanks for having me. Looking forward to, you know, some good sportsmanship in the competition today, you know. Yeah. I've seen some movies. you think that this was the part where you're supposed to make a little speech? I don't know, ma'am. Which part is it? This is a part where I say hashtag, but first, it's time for a recommendation station.

And that's where I'd like each one of you to give a full-throated, hearty recommendation to one motion picture from the past or present. Jeff Tate, go. I love boosters. I saw that a couple of like 10 days. I saw like 10 days ago, whenever it came out two weeks ago, it's so good. It's so funny and cool and weird. I loved it. Yeah.

Did you go back again? I haven't gone back again, no. All right, but you're going to. I will definitely see it a lot. You're going to see the crap out of it. I mean, you know, it's so. It's a very colorful, vivid movie. Yeah, yeah.

A piece for the eyes they like to say. It's fun to look out and listen to. It's got both things. Yeah, it's the guy, Boots Riley. Yeah, boots. It's so fun on social media. When somebody has something snarky to say about it, he'll just jump right in and defend it

and tell people to go. Go see it. Yeah, yeah. He's been doing a lot of retweeting and quote tweeting, people who like it also, and I'm trying not to take it personally. Mine don't get quoted. Yeah, why aren't you getting your quote on there? You know, why is he relying on more high-profile individuals? Come on.

Come on, boots. Take it to the streets. Here's my funny thing about I Love Boosters. I don't know how funny it is, but I went to a, you know, a press screening, you know, where it's just, it ends up being like five or six people who write about movies or talk about them a lot, in my case, just watching the movie in a screening room in Beverly Hills. And, you know, it's, they all kind of know each other. These people, they kind of all chat with each other, even if they're not.

not sitting next to each other, not during the movie, but, you know, before it starts, there's just a lot of loud conversations everywhere. But this one guy goes, oh, and I should also say that this particular screening room is in the basement of a building that also, I guess, is some sort of hospital or care unit or something like that's going on there. That's crazy. I don't pay a lot of attention to it because it's just this random screening room that they have these screenings in sometimes.

and but this guy just loudly to everybody in the room before the movie starts goes, does anybody here appreciate the irony that we're about to watch I love boosters

in a medical facility? It just silence. Nobody had anything to say. They were just praying the movie would just fucking start. And then it did. So that's the to that story.

But no one appreciated the irony. I don't know if the guy knew that the movie is not referring to getting a booster shot. You know what I mean? I don't know if he mixed it up or if he just thought that's clever wordplay that he's

pretending them thought it was about. Anyway. Jill, what did you got for us? I recently watched a movie on a plane called Serot. Oh, my God. Holy moly. What a picture.

Wow. It was so good. I don't know if I'd ever watch it again, but it is, it'll leave a mark. Well, just even before the bleakness happens, there's a lot of very thumpy music that's very, like, I don't know, good for them for enjoying it and dancing to it, but I was just like, it's just such a wild thing to watch and listen to, but then it's And also, it just puts you enough on edge that then when stuff starts to go badly, it's very, what an intense, bleak-ass movie that is. And to watch it on a plane, that is really... I mean, I was wrapped, you know, like, it was...

I like watching movies like that that really need your attention on a plane because you can't really, you know, you can't really wander off. So... Yeah, well, I could nod off. I do that a lot while watching a movie on a plane. Ever since they made it, so you can just, you know, do all the normal stuff you do on your phone

while on a plane, I tend to not watch movies because I can just get a lot of stuff done in my seat and also give the movie their respect of, you know, the big screen. Most movies you see these days are the ones I actually physically go to, unless I'm watching something, you know, older,

or only available on streaming, like this new movie with Red Goldstein and J-Lo, I've been putting it off. What's it called Office Romance? Just thinking about, if it was really funny, would it premiere on Netflix? I mean, I guess that was the deal when they made it was that it was for Netflix,

but it's just weird to be like, look at this brand new comedy that people are going to watch alone or in pairs. You know, and the great thing about a comedy is watching it, you know, with people, you know. And that reminds me, though. Now, just think about Jill. Think about that movie, Surat, and having experienced the entire thing. Can you imagine sitting in a theater where there was one individual who laughed very loudly three or four times over the course of that movie?

I mean. I feel like I've been that person once or twice, but... I mean, he was either he or she was either on something or I thought it was a comedy. It was just really pushing to make it happen. Well, I thought it was funny. Yeah. Yeah, so that was another thing that actually added to the tension, you know, that somebody would. Have either of you guys seen this movie, Justin or Jeff?

I have not. No, I haven't. Oh, my God. It's a great example of, I recommend it absolutely, if you want to see a movie that you're probably not going to be able to shake. Right. It reminded me a lot of... Maybe for life.

It reminded me a lot of come and see that anti-war Russian movie. I don't know if you see that. I don't see that. I'd write it down, but I'm not... looking for things that were reminding you of this movie. I got a darkness to me, okay? I wanted to be a singular experience that I saw that movie, but I really am glad that I did, but also it's just so disturbing.

Okay. Justin, so far we've got fun plus disturbing. What do you have? Well, a little bit of both. I was going to talk about a little booster, so I'll just second that recommendation and say I really loved send help. Oh, okay. Yeah.

I didn't catch in theaters, but, you know, it's in streaming now. Yeah. Yeah. Also, don't watch that on a plane, probably. Also, I think, you know, it's not, there's no exclamation point, is there? It's send help, no exclamation point. I guess to mimic what you would draw on the sand, because if you're writing it in the sand, you wouldn't be like, hey, we got to add an exclamation point.

Yeah, you're not bringing in punctuation into the equation. your name. But yeah, just freaking solid ass Sam Ramey. What's or nuts is always money in the bank. Rachel McAdams.

Mick Adams, yeah. She's always great. And that dude's always great too. Yeah, can't think of his name at all. But yeah, super fun, entertaining, you know, great pace to it. Dylan O'Brien. Sure. Yeah.

I didn't look it up. I don't people probably think, why, why doesn't he just look it up? Because I like the thing to spring into my head and then interrupt what Justin is saying. Yeah, let it blossom. Yeah, and it's just got, it's got, you know, good twists. It's got, it's disgusting, but, like, you know, I forget if it's R or PG-13, but, like, I always credit Sam Ramey for having the grossest PG-13 movie with Drag Me to Hell. And this one has a lot of this similarly gross, nasty things that happened.

Yeah, just fucking totally unpredictable and gross and bonkers. If I didn't say it already, yeah, highly recommend it. I mean, I was texting through the whole film, trying, just writing, send help to everybody I knew. But I didn't realize that they would actually think there was a problem rather than just a recommendation. Thanks for those wrecks Jeff, Jill, Justin. Your names are so fun together.

They all start with the jih-jou sound. Thank you for those wrecks. I will be seeing none of those because I have already.

Okay. Yeah, and it's June.

It's June, so it's never too late for a March Madness reference. I'll name a movie, and then you have to guess if it was partially or completely set in St. Louis, filmed partially, or completely in St. Louis, or neither. Jeff will be up first on the first one, if he guessed. is it correctly, he gets a point if he misses and Jill gets a shot at it, a 50-50, if you will. And if Jill misses and Justin will get the gimme point, each time someone gets one right, the next person goes first and the next round. First to two or most after four is our winner.

Jeff, are you ready? I am ready. Okay. Was this movie set partially or completely? St. Louis or shot partially or entirely in St. Louis or neither. The film

is cocaine bear. Cicane bear. Cicane bear. Most people you said it wrong. Cicane. Cocaine bear. What the hell? I'm going to say

neither. Neither is incorrect. Jill. I'm going to say it was partially shot in St. Louis. Also incorrect, Justin. All right. I'm going to say it was partially taking place there. This is how Justin wins. I'm remembering it now. He gets, he's just silly catbird seeing it all the time.

I just get to clean up if I just pay attention to what one else says. Yeah. Which isn't a given. According to the internet, because I'm no cocaine bear scholar, but according to the internet, it is set partially in St. Louis, but was shot entirely in Ireland. Oh. Yeah. I don't know they had bears in Ireland. There's no reason for anybody to know any of that, and yet here we are.

Jeff, round two. Did you see cocaine bear? I did see cocaine bear. It was fine, right? Perfectly fine. Yeah, when people were crazy, like, people talked about it, like, it was the best thing ever, and then it was like almost nobody talked about it ever again after it came out. But it was fine.

Yeah, it was fine. Yeah, solid premise. Yeah. Keep at it, everybody involved, except for Ray, Rio, not RIP. Okay, this next one, Jeff. you know, on the face of it, it's pretty tricky, but we'll see what you know about this one. Escape from New York.

Oh, Escape from New York was filmed in St. Louis. I was worried that you might actually have access to that information. That is correct. Yeah, yeah, no, I just knew it. Yeah, it was some things were filmed in St. Louis, and then the reason they shot some things in St. Louis because it was across the river from where they really, shot the movie, which was in

a city in Illinois that's right there that had terrible fires, so the whole city was kind of burnt out. And so they went there to film the dystopian escape from New York scenery.

There used to be a funny bone right across the river, and I don't think they did much to clean it up. Hey, no disparagement of funny bones. What we're doing a whole game based on My appearance at one of them. Oh, yeah, it's not the same one. Yours is better.

All right, Jeff's got a point. Jill, you're going to go first on this one. And if you get this right, it'll tie it up a three-way tie. But no pressure. Okay. The film is Vegas Vacation. I'm going to say it's partially set in St. Louis. No, I'm sorry.

That's not correct. Justin I'm going to say neither that is correct that is the red answer it turns out that the original vacation movie

did in fact take place partially and film partially in St. Louis but of course Vegas vacation had no reason to be in St. Louis

but also it could very easily have been a trick question Justin you won that game. But you know what that means, right? I go first in the next one. That's all it means. Yeah. Don't get too crazy cocky over there.

But last one was tricky. You know, they keep trying to pass Toronto as St. Louis. So, you know. It's all of the city swapping is interesting, but I've come to learn and even more so doing research for this game, that there's a tendency to just, you know, shoot somewhere that has enough of what they need, but also is like a cheaper place to shoot. And it can also, you know, fake stuff there. But the Toronto for New York thing has always been kind of crazy. And then, you know, Vancouver is supposed to be, you know, every time there's a movie, takes place in a

West you know Pacific Northwest they tend to just go ahead and shoot in Vancouver because the foliage and the rainfall

are going to be the same pretty much yeah but then they'll shoot stuff indoors in Vancouver just for the tax breaks what was I going to do oh I was going to go to a commercial break

oh yeah yeah got to remember those commercial breaks, you've got to give people, this is my feeling about podcasting at this point, because you've got to give people some parts to fast forward through.

And that's what these are for. Enjoy these messages. We're back. A dinosaur story. And we established in the last act that Justin gets to go first in our second and final determining

game today. And it's something that I call How to Win at Movie Trivia. Now, there have been a lot of movies with the words how to at the beginning of the title. So many over the years, you think that there's people out there that, you know, managed to learn entire professions for watching some of these films. But usually it's like tongue-in-cheek, like you really don't learn. how to do the thing that is in the title.

But that being said, your mission today is to take turns naming movies that have those words in the beginning of the title. How to blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You got to get the exact

correct title. And it's the top 10 titles according to the algorithm on IMDB. I typed in how to today because I was inspired by the I saw I don't watch a lot of trailers but I saw one on exit for the how to rob a bank are you looking forward to that movie Jeff? Yeah.

Yes I am. I bet you are. You know, it's the guy who did Deadpool 2 and Bullet Train and one of those other The Fall Guy. Fall guy, yeah. I was just to say one of those other funny action. pictures. So, yeah, so it's that guy, and, you know, it's a pretty stacked cast and Pete Davidson,

and it is coming out soon, and that just made me realize, oh, man, there's so many movies with how to in the title. So we're going to start with Justin. He'll make his first guess, and I'll tell you if it's in the top 10. If it's number one, it's worth 10 points. if it's number 10's worth one point and if it doesn't make the top 10 for that round you get

zero points. And then it'll be Jill's turn and then Jeff and like I said you'll each have three guesses total but you're gun and for you're trying to get that number one how to movie

with your first guess Justin it's got to be how to train your dragon It has to be I don't know, maybe, maybe not it's got to be in there You just you just decree it

Well I'm like I have other titles in my mind But out of the ones that I'm already thinking of That one's at the top It's got to be right You know I have to ask you a follow up question though Because they are specific How to train your dragon

From 2025 or 2010. And okay, so this is the all right. This is the fuckery, man. This is how you get us. It's got 25.

25. 25 is number two on the list. And that is worth whopping nine points for Justin right out of the game. Congratulations, Justin.

now we move to Jill. That number one spot is still open. All right. Eight other ones. Okay. I'm going to go How to Lose a Guy in 10 days. I mean, that just seems like that would just pop right into people's brains. It's been a minute since it was out.

I know that I just saw Kate Hudson talking up, I'd do a sequel. I don't know if that means anything. but I'd say why not at this point. It is number four on the list. Okay, okay, not a bad for showing. Not bad at all. I'm glad that you are your own cheerleader. Thank you.

Yeah, seven points. So you're only two behind Justin. And we all know what that means. Still anybody's game. Jeff. I got a little sidetracked trying to think of what the hell a sequel to How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days could be

But Well, because how is the first one, how is the first one end? They probably love. Yeah. She finds her guy. She has to lose. Well, like, so they could, you know, we could start off.

The story starts with their on the verge of divorce. And, uh, she decides to write another. article. How to lose a guy in 11 days. How to save a marriage in 10 days? Yeah. You know, they can do something.

It's got to be something in 10 days. Or they have to go, how to lose a man in 10 days, two, colon, and then some further descriptor of what's different about this one. It's insane. Like, they would never make, like, a sequel that was just, like, a different, like, didn't have any of those words in it. which plenty of sequels the back of the day were like

you know it's different different words you don't have to say the same words again and then put a two after it anyway yeah they can't keep the same tattoo and just change the two to the number two oh shit you didn't

I don't lose a guy in 10 years no the marketing is ready they just have to make the movie I don't lose a guy in the whole 10 yards No, they do. They shoot two of them at once, Jeff, and they call them 10 weeks and 10 years. And they have to, I guess they have to get old.

Do you have to be in order to make up or something for the third one? I'm out now. No, I don't need these movies to be depressing. Plus also, how three lose a good. guy in 10 that doesn't even make sense they can't they can't do the full trilogy for that reason

wait so what is your guess Jeff my guess is how to train a dragon 2010 okay now first of all there's no such movie with that title how to train your dragon that's better

and then I say from which year 2020 25 or 20 did. 2010. The one he didn't say. Exactly. That is number five on the list.

Very cleverly played, Jeff. That's worth six points. We got ourselves a real tight match. If there were more commercials, I'd go to them right now. This is so exciting. But instead, the show's only half over. And I have to stretch the shit out of this game.

You know, you guys want to talk about You want to talk about possible sequels to Foolsgold? No, I don't. I don't want to, I don't even like to think about Fools' Gold even existing. Was Foolsgold, was it kind of a remake of something? It was kind of like romancing the Stone. Like, I feel like it had the same vibe as remancing the stone.

Absolutely. It could have been a Romancing the Stone sequel script that they didn't make and then change it to Fools Gold. and make the guy like a little bit more of a jerk was McCona had more of a jerk in it I'm confusing that with gold he's in another movie called gold

where he's like a embezzler or something or a counterfeiter of gold I don't think I've seen that and I think his last name's gold he wears a bald cap yeah it's one of those it's one of those ones

there's just something about like when a movie star is like not quite the movie star they once were. They don't necessarily sell tickets, but they're big enough that they can get projects off the ground just by agreeing to do them.

It leads to some pretty funny results. But I guess McConaughey's got a thing coming out in August that played at South by, not this year, but the previous year to a lot of acclaim. And it's a name I

always fucking forget, like the rivals of Isaiah somebody, King, Cain, or something like that. Anyway, people are raving about it. It's coming out in August, so, uh, uh, keep an eye out for that. And Justin, it's back to you, buddy. All right.

Am I pitching more titles for how to lose a guy in today's sequel or guessing to keep the game going? Hey, listen. You play your best game. and we'll see what happens. All right. Yeah. My well of how-to movies is getting a little shallow.

Oh, I see. I see your saying. You're going to lose anyway, so you're acting all noble about it? I wouldn't say that. I don't know if this was a top ten-worthy, but the next thing that popped into my head was how to be a player. For real?

Well, it's a guess. Who's in that? I can't remember. Sounds like a master P joint. I assume it's a comedy. Probably. It's got Bill Bellamy in it. Is that real?

I think so. It's like a late 90s thing. Oh, okay. I think you're right. I think you're right. And I'm sorry. I don't mean to laugh at your guest because any actual movie with how to

and the title could be in this thing but unfortunately Justin that one is not but you'll still have the lead because you know Jill needs to put some more points on the board everybody that listens to it is going to look it up so next

week it'll be in the top ten oh if only I had that kind of influence over the algorithm of the star meter Bill, what's your next guess? Let's do how to succeed in business without really trying. Now that's another fantastic answer that is not in the top ten.

It's not on the list? Not in the top ten. Wow. I mean, when you hear this top ten, it'll make sense, but it'll also make you angry at the same time. It's that kind of thing. But that was a great guess. And I haven't seen, I haven't really, I don't even know if I've watched the movie for beginning to end,

but I've seen the musical a couple of times, the stage versions. All right. Daniel Radcliffe, who is just a monster of New York theater. Like he's won a Tony and he's in shows every season. He just did a one-man show that was acclaimed that he got nominated for Best Actor, but by the sound of it, it's not acting as much as just like talking everybody through the audience's scenarios. It's called Every Brilliant Thing. Yeah.

And it's now Mariska Hargette is doing it. She took over the role. But it's just one person on stage, like just getting stories from people in the audience. and it sounds really interesting. Jeff, speaking of interesting, I'm sure you have something that people will want to hear

as your fucking guess. Right, I'm going to blow everyone with mine and say, how to train your dragon too. Oh, my God, is this really happening? I mean, I think so. Jeff figured it out that if how are you trying to?

train your dragon was in here, both versions. Then, of course, how to train your dragon two is number seven on the list. So that is four more points for Jeff. He takes the lead. This is incredibly exciting. Justin. I was going to mess how to train your dragon two. You were?

You forced my hand. I have to guess how to train your dragon. dragon three. Why? Oh. You were the last time around instead of how to be a player, you were going to say how to try to your dragon two? No, I just thought of that now between rounds and then Jeff got to do it.

I see. I see. Yeah. So that's the trouble is. It's nice that things might come to you as it goes along, but then the person before you might snatch it up. So now here's the problem with your answer. answer, Justin, is that there is no motion picture called How to Train Your Dragon Three.

Oh, I've got an alternate. How to Lose Friends and Alienate People? I think you meant an alternate to that that title that you already gave me. I was trying to lead you into, but you don't know. what it was actually called? No, there's a, it's got a, you know, it's like, yeah, I don't. I'm looking at it.

Colen, Baby's First Dragon or something, right? Yeah. Yes. Oh man, if only you had said Baby's First Dragon already. Yeah, Peter just said it to begin with, it's jumping around all over the place. Yeah, I mean, I don't, I didn't remember this, the subtitle, uh, at the end there. So do you have anything else you'd like to guess for your final guess?

Yeah, the other movie, I'm pretty sure this is the movie, How to Lose Friends and Alienate People? Is that a thing? Again, I gave you a chance to walk away from that guess. Well, all right, okay. All right, all right, how to train your dragon. Baby geniuses too. No, I'm sorry, that was incorrect.

but you were on the right track and I'll tell you in a little bit where you went where you went off the track Jill has any of this jarred anything for you have you thought of anything that might have snuck into that number one slot well I have a guess but I don't think it's going to be number one but yeah

but it's your only guess basically well I have another get I'm just how to make an American quilt Oh, no, that's not in there. I know it wouldn't be, but, you know, I'm trying to ask for style. I'm going to ask you what the other one was in a second. But first, let's go to Jeff. We'll have plenty of post-game time today to go over all this. Jeff, what is your third and final guess, even though the points have you in the lead?

Oh, I'm in the lead already. There's no negative points to be gotten here. Okay, well, I guess this one, because I didn't know about it until this morning. I just put it on my watch list. So maybe it's on there. It's How to Make a Killie. When I first heard that title, I thought they would like renamed Hitman. I guess it's the same guy.

It's that Glenn Powell, fella. It is Glenn Powell was in How to Make a Killing that came out. this very calendar year but maybe Jeff part of your confusion was

that in 2024 there was a movie called how to make a killing so I have

to ask the follow-up question which one do you think is on the higher up

on the list the one from 26 or 24 I'm going to say 26 I mean that's the

one I find out about it. We looked it up today. I looked it up today. And yes, shows the movie, I guess, is probably streaming. People are looking, you know, reading about or whatever. It is number one.

No shit. Version is number one on the list. Oh. Wow. And that, I think it's mostly just because it's, you know, the most recent, how to movie. So, of course, it's going to get attention. And I'm going to say the rest of the movie. on the list after we do Jeff's plugs because Jeff you are our winner today. Congratulations.

And what would you like to promote? At the second weekend in July, I'm in O'Clair, Wisconsin. And that is the, let's see, what are the dates? July, come on July, motherfucker. 9, 10, 11, O'Clair, 24th, or 24th. and 25 of July. I'm at the Comedy Attic in Bloomington, Indiana. And then July 31st, Columbus, Ohio at the hashtag Comedy Club and August 1st, Commonwealth Sanctuary in northern Kentucky's

greater Cincinnati area doing stand-up. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, oh, and I have a podcast, the Saturday afternoon movie club. Every week we talk about old movies that I watch growing up. yeah you should be like at the point where you're not going oh and like you've been you know I should be yeah yeah so get those get those plugs where you know when you can't what someday I'll have it all together okay okay no rush um all right so let's let's review uh what number 10 and Justin, you know, if you had just remembered three words, it's called How to Train Your Dragon, Colon, the Hidden World.

It's right there. Yeah, but they just bailed on, see, that's what I don't, the black of consistency is driving me crazy with these things now the way they're like, the numbers can, like, come and go. Me, don't even get me started on there being a new scary movie that's not a remake of the first scary movie. it's just also called scary movie. It's two different movies, two different stories,

some different actors, and it's got the same name. Boo. Yeah, I called boo on that. But, you know, it's not high on my list of things to be mad about right now, I'm just saying. So I was pretty close with Baby's First Dragon. You were so close.

You were absolutely there, man. And, you know, so that's why I always, you know, I always push people to try to, you know, try to be their best. We just didn't get there today. The French version of how to make a killing from 2024 is number nine on the list. Probably because, you know, I'm sure IMDB counts typing that sentence in counts it for both of those things. I don't know how one gets ranked so much higher than the other in the process, but. you know, once you type it in, both those things probably come up. Number eight, you know, we went back a little bit like with how to become a success and stuff like that.

But the classic that seeped in there from 1953, how to marry a millionaire. Merrill Monroe business. number six more recently not a particularly good film Dakota Johnson comedy How to be single from 2016 and then we of course

we had the other How to Train Your Dragon How to Live a Guy in 10 Days Number three I think this is just something people are typing into any search engine at this point the movie is called How to Have Sex

and yeah I just think that's teenagers just typing that in wherever they can find a slot for typing in it's a foreign film from 2023

but I didn't follow through on what country it's from is how to be single a remake probably right or maybe not or maybe it's just sort of a there was a movie called Sex and the Single Girl

I think well every episode of Love American Style every little vignette was called Sex and a something that's probably where they got the idea for Sex and the City probably I don't know

I think but other than that you got them all so yeah the How to Have Sex was number three inexplicably and then the more recent How to Train Your Dragon was two, How to Make a Killing, Number One, but also higher than that even was how to rob a bank because people are searching it, but they don't include movies that haven't come out yet. Congratulations, one more time to Jeff for yet another win.

You could go put another notch in your belt. Oh, yeah. Jeff and but uh Jill Weiner I hope you had a pleasant first time experience great time thank you for having me you know I'll have you back on some other time when the game is having to know movies with how to

in the time okay that's why I was trying to drive that earlier is it sometimes it's just such a specific thing that it's like well I can't think of hardly any of the movies that would fit this and it is weird that like multiple movies make multiple appearances in that so that also makes it harder

but what would you like to what's coming up do you like to promote the things I mentioned earlier or some other stuff or all of it yeah I'm like you said I'm headlighting Grove 34 in Queens on June 18th I'm going to be on the road a lot this summer with Caitlin Palufo so looking forward to that and I'm also going to be at Edinburgh French in August

oh man yeah I'm popping That's crazy. Yeah. I've never, I've never done it, but, you know, and probably because I'm scared. I think it'll be fun. I mean, and I think it'll be hard. I think it'll be a lot of fun, but it's also, there's an intensity to it. Yeah.

Because even the most gung-ho stand-up comics don't get as much stage time as you suddenly have to do when you're doing a show at that festival. Yeah. So I'm looking forward to that, and you can find all that on my socials at Jill underscore lives. So thank you. And how bad is the weiner-winer thing in your day-to-day existence? Not bad. I mean, I'm in New York, so there's tons of weaners here, you know. Anthony.

Hold on. You can get them on most street corners. Exactly. Exactly. The place is lousy with them. So, no, it doesn't really happen that often. I always say weiner anyway because I was beating. Right.

No, if you beat them to the, yeah, if you beat them to the punch, just get it out, get it out the way immediately. That was nice. I appreciate it because I didn't ask during the sound check and I should have. Justin Thompson, so excited they were going to do some shows together in a good old Pots Town. But what else have you got to promote? yeah i'm going to be bringing my music video show back to uh brooklyn if you're in that area you know you can follow me on instagram and keep up with that and the other dates um uh you follow me on

instagram at justin thompson l-o well you can you can find me alvenmo send me 10 bucks that's cool uh you can come see me uh helium in philly uh all that good stuff man um yeah that most important one send Justin 10 bucks and put in the thing you know something like that you love movies or something to make it clear that that's where you heard it I want to know how many people just said

just in 10 bucks Has anyone pulled this move? No, Sam Levine always mentions that he's on cameo but the straight up Venmo me money that's fresh and it's tight I respect

it. oh thank I want to see how many people do it now does it make do you think me harping on it makes it more likely you'll get more or less likely

I don't know all right so my all right well now that we're fully yeah my handle on Venmo is Justin T.H.O you know fuck it we'll see I'll let you know we'll talk about it you didn't say your handle the first time you brought it up

yeah I was just goofing Justin T. that's it no no uh yeah my my venmo is stupid my venmo is douglas dash benson dash the number two yeah like what's why did that happen i must still like been drunk when i signed out because i guess they give you suggestions probably douglas benson was probably taken already so like how about a couple of hyphins in a two and i was like sign me up so I don't think you can change it at this point no I'm not sure how that works

what should we do with our remaining oh I got to do my plugs let me do my plugs I'm going to do nine minutes worth of plugs right now I'm going to be in St. Louis as mentioned earlier when we played that fun game oh that's what I'll do I have a fourth round of that game that we didn't get to you now we'll do

We'll do that just for fun version. But I'm going to be in St. Louis, the 18th through the 20th, at the Funny Bone. And then I'm going to be in Potsetown with Justin, Justin T.H.O. on Venmo, the 26 through the 27th of this month, June. So, yeah, especially if you can't make it out to see us in Potsetown to give them $10 in person. you definitely want to send it to him over Venmo. And Douglasmovies.com is where all my dates and deeds and links are. Jill, I'd like you to go first. Okay.

With one final round, see if you can figure this one out. All right. From 1989, eventually became a TV series movie star, Steve won, Parenthood. said in St. Louis, filmed in St. Louis, or neither? I'm going to say filmed in St. Louis. I'm sorry, no.

That isn't it. Jeff? Oh, I'm going to say. Sorry, not you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Justin. All right. Yeah, because, you know, you already won the whole thing,

so I want somebody else to have. an endorphin rush. Yeah. I'm going to go neither, I think. I think that's what I'm going to go with. All right. So even then, Jeff still gets the point because it's set in St. Louis,

but they filmed it in Florida. I thought it was set in L.A. Oh, well. I know, right? Yeah. I think somebody... You have to be thinking of L.A. story. Yeah.

And the TV show is that way, I think. I don't think the TV show is St. Louis. It sure looked nice. I mean, no offense to St. Louis. No, it looked nice, just like St. Louis does. Meet Me There! That's another film reference. Meet Me in St. Louis, June 18th to 20th.

Well, this has been an absolute treat. Jeff will be back very soon, open invitation to Jill and Justin anytime you want to come by to promote something. Jeff, we are back to closing the show with naming someone as a shithead. And, you know, since we're doing this over Zoom, we can't, you know, normally you'd be playing on behalf of somebody. They'd get to the side who the shit is, shit head is. But today it's up to you. Who would you like to call a shithead?

Well, I mean, Come on. I know. There's a lot of people who choose from. We still have. If you want to take the time, we can spare like five more minutes. Oh, yeah,

bat it around a little bit. Or like people will look at the time code when they go to this episode and we go, oh, why is it? It's a short one. You know, why is it shorter than the other ones? And then they're going to find out no,

no particular reason. I just didn't pace it. Just didn't pace it right. yeah so like guests maybe I'm going to say you know

let's go with a hegs that motherfucker oh okay I love it I really didn't even register at first it's a hard

I have a hard time getting used to that name hearing it or saying it doesn't I think it might be the first time I said it out loud. It feels wrong. Like it's not a real, it feels like some J.K. Rowling would come up with. Professor.

Yes. Professor Hagseth. Oh, fuck all you. Fuck Jakey Rowling in. This guy. Okay. Thanks again to Jeff Tate, Jill Weiner, and Justin Thompson. As always, that motherfucker Hegseth is a show.

Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie. Eyes of gold is viewing prowess makes it cocky. There's no room in his heart for you because Doug. Hi, I am Mandy Moore. Sterling K. Brown. And I'm Chris Sullivan. And we host the podcast. That was us now on Headgum.
