Starting point is 00:00:00 Hey guys, producer Matt here. Doug wanted to re-release this episode to pay tribute to the late, great Harry Dean Stanton. This is from August 2013. Doug was joined on the show by Jen Kirkman, Paul F. Tompkins, and Harry Dean Stanton. Rest in peace, Harry Dean. With 50 eyes and popcorn kernels in his teeth, there's still not one that he won't see. Because Doug loves movies. Hey, everybody. I was told that the attendance might be a little light on this show
Starting point is 00:00:44 because it's so hot outside and you have to stand in line in the heat. All these years I still don't know how to adjust to a mic stand. But yeah, so thank you for coming and doing that. That's awesome that the place is... They shouldn't have said anything to me. I would have been like,
Starting point is 00:01:04 business as usual. They're like, might be a little light, might be light tonight. My name is Doug and I love movies. Coming to you from the UCB Theater in Los Angeles on Tuesday, August 27th, I think it is, 2 Oceans 13. Since last I spoke and you listened, I flew to Charlotte, North Carolina to perform at UNC. Super fun show there, thanks to everybody that came out.
Starting point is 00:01:35 I interrupted Evil Dead at CineFamily, and that was also a good time. The next interruption at CineFamily is Fast 6 tomorrow night, and it's sold out, so why'd I bring it up? And then, because you can come see on September 5th, I'm doing an interruption of Mommy Dearest at the CineFamily.org for tickets.
Starting point is 00:01:58 And then September 10th in Yonkers, New York, I'm going to do an interruption of the movie Cabin Fever at the Alamo Drafthouse. Go to alamodrafthouse.com. Prize bet? Oh, wait. No shit. God damn it. I write things out of order sometimes, and then I skip stuff.
Starting point is 00:02:18 I did stand up at the Fuck Yeah Fest in Los Angeles, here in Los Angeles, and thanks to Chili Beans for the Fuck Yeah Fest in Los Angeles, here in Los Angeles. And thanks to Chili Beans for the Fuck Yeah sunglasses and Magic Taxi for the free Fuck Yeah cab ride. You gotta say Fuck Yeah in everything, right? Because it was the Fuck Yeah Fest, which I love that they call it FYF Fest,
Starting point is 00:02:40 because then they're calling it Fuck Yeah Fest Fest. Just to clean it up for the kids. Looking ahead, I'll be at the Turner Ballroom in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on September 15th and there are over 800 seats left. Yeah. Why am I playing a 1,000 seat venue? I mean, it'll be a nice intimate show
Starting point is 00:03:03 in a gigantic place for those who did buy tickets. So I don't think I'm going to be mad at you. I'm not going to yell at you for being a small crowd. I never understand when people do that, but I do it too. So I don't understand myself. What's in the prize bag? Lots of fun stuff.
Starting point is 00:03:21 A T-shirt I got at Fuck Yeah Fest that I got to pull out of the bag because I don't remember what it says on it. It's from a company called KeepItKush.com and this one is, what does that say? Halfo? I don't think that's right. It has something to do with weed. I don't think that's right. It has something to do with weed.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Half-ounce. Half-ounce. Bam. So yeah, so wear that proudly. And I'll have more of those coming up in the ensuing weeks. And then I've also got, of course not of course we'll wait we'll hold off on that one for a second but we've got my CD Gateway Doug
Starting point is 00:04:10 and then you know he the author of this book isn't here and neither is the subject of this book but I thought it'd be fun to give away where the fuck is it oh there it is Chuck Norris cannot be stopped. 400 all new
Starting point is 00:04:27 facts about the man who knows neither fear nor mercy. So somebody's going to get that. I flipped through it. They're funny. I didn't need 400 of them, but it's pretty good. Ladies and gentlemen, very excited about tonight's lineup.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Please welcome Paul F. Tompkins, Jen Kirkman, and Harry Dean Stanton. Please welcome them. Summon them with your applause and love. It is like a haunted maze back there. It's very complicated.
Starting point is 00:05:30 I'm a legend. That's exactly how I was hoping this would go. If you were shy at all about it, I would be saddened. Legend in my own mind. No, people loved you, and they're excited to see you, and I was excited. I have to thank you for letting your publicist talk you into this,
Starting point is 00:05:56 because I'm sure that's what happened. Probably not a regular listener to the podcast. Probably usually don't have to open your own water. You have people that do that. Thank you for being here. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:06:14 Alright, Paul F. Tompkins is here also, everybody. Hello. How you doing? Doug, I'm well, thank you. How you doing? Doug, I'm well, thank you. How are you? I'm all right. Mr. Stanton here has a documentary that is all about him called,
Starting point is 00:06:35 and I forgot to bring the poster out here, that one of the prizes today is the poster. Would you do that, Jen Kirkman? Oh, what a dear you are. Where is it? It's in the green room. You can't miss it. It's a big poster with... It's got Harry Dean Stanton on it.
Starting point is 00:06:51 And I think he just saw the poster for the first time backstage. Yeah. Yeah. It's nice. It's about time. That was very fast. That was crazy. Like, she stepped out and then stepped back in.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Extremely well done. We have to have him sign this, too. I'd be happy to. And it's a documentary called Partly Fiction. And they followed you around with cameras was that how was that experience? it doesn't seem like that's something you would necessarily want to do
Starting point is 00:07:33 I've been doing it all my life you're used to the cameras yeah that's right and why is it we're really going to go deep here why is it that in you, Me, and Dupree, you play the role of Curly, but you're uncredited
Starting point is 00:07:50 in the film. Why don't you get credit for being Curly? I don't know what film you're talking about. It's called You, Me, and Dupree. Who was in it? That would be the one with Owen Wilson and Matt Dillon
Starting point is 00:08:05 Kate Hudson I can't remember what I did you played someone named Curly don't remember hey you guys know we're not playing the Leonard Maltin game tonight right aww people are saddened by it
Starting point is 00:08:20 so what's the question I think you answered it I think you're uncredited because you're not even aware of being in it. So that makes perfect sense. It's not important. No, I just noticed
Starting point is 00:08:37 for a lot of your films you're uncredited and I think it's probably just because you're such a rebel that you're just like you don't even care. Nobody needs to see your name. I get credit in most of the films I do. Most of them, yeah. Yeah, yeah. We're gonna fight. Did I mention that Jen Kirkman is here?
Starting point is 00:09:01 Not only did she bring out the poster, but she also brought she brought for the prize bag copies of her book, I Can Barely Take Care of Myself, and her DVD. Audio book. Audio book. It looks like a DVD, but it's just an audio book. I don't want people to get excited and try to put it into their...
Starting point is 00:09:19 All right, let's just take that out of the bag then. We won't include that. Have you considered making a DVD of you reading the book? I actually think that would be pretty funny if they let me do it in my house and not in a studio. And you would read it to yourself, not out loud? Oh, even better. Very in the oral.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Do some people... Do you think anybody reads the book while listening to the... There's like one person who's probably going to murder me someday, and I think he probably does. He lives in the Midwest. That's not to do with why he would murder me. I think the reasons are clear.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I think that's how I would do it. Can I also point out that Jen Kirkman not only instantly came back with that poster, but then, because it's on phone core, she held it up and expertly walked it like a ring girl, like a boxing ring round girl across the stage. It was wonderfully done.
Starting point is 00:10:17 Thank you. I've had some modeling training when I was 11. And I just thought, when am I going to use it? Never. Never. You know, because of the fashion industry and their size limits and age limits. So I just, that when am I going to use it? Never. You know? Because of the fashion industry and their size limits and age limits. So that's when I can do it.
Starting point is 00:10:29 I just like to do stuff like that. You're too old to be a ring girl at those 11-year-old boxing matches anymore. Yeah. And also, Doug, I love self-promoting, but I'd love to also just let everyone know it's my birthday tomorrow. A gasp. She was born on a day.
Starting point is 00:10:47 I'll be 39 tomorrow. Well, congratulations. One more year. One more year. That wasn't like a veiled suicide thing. That was just like one more year. One more year. One more year.
Starting point is 00:11:03 It's one more year being in my 30s. Thank you. All right. Paul brought a copy of a book for the winner tonight that is called How to Sharpen Pencils. That's correct. Oh, and here's a glass of wine for Mr. Stanton. There you go.
Starting point is 00:11:17 Now we're going to get nuts. I like how you live, HDS. Yeah, he's doing it right. And why did you bring this book? It's a very funny and informative book by my friend David Reese that is both hilarious and also very informational. You will actually learn how to sharpen pencils. You can do them by hand.
Starting point is 00:11:43 You can do them with a machine. He would prefer that you do not use an electric pencil sharpener. But I had already been gifted with a hard copy of the book, and then the other day I received in the mail a paperback which had no new information, and so
Starting point is 00:11:59 I thought, let's get this out of my house. Nice. But you have probably something to promote? Something people could purchase? I love that about you. Mr. Stanton. Back to you. Sorry to neglect you for so long.
Starting point is 00:12:24 Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke? I wish the listeners could have heard that yawn before. I probably didn't even hear the what. Why did you ask me? You know the motion picture Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke? I've heard of it, but it's been so long I don't remember. Yeah, yeah, that was the movie where they say that you filmed scenes for it that they didn't use in the movie.
Starting point is 00:12:55 The what? Yeah, they say that your scenes were deleted from that film, that you had worked on it for I don't know how long, but that it got cut out. What was cut out? Your scenes. All of them? What was the scene? They didn't elaborate. They just said... I don't recall that.
Starting point is 00:13:15 I'm not on trial here, sir. They're lost. And neither are you. Because when can people... Do you know how and when people can see this documentary about you? I think it's coming out in September. And it'll be
Starting point is 00:13:31 in limited theaters and then also on video on demand. Is Sophie here? Yeah, is Sophie the director? It's coming out September 13th at the New Art Theater. September 13th at the New Art here in Los Angeles, but then lots of other dates in cities around the country?
Starting point is 00:13:50 Yeah, in New York on the 11th. New York on the 11th. And you can maybe go to parleyfictionmovie.com or something like that? Well, I'd rather go through Facebook. Go through Facebook? Sure. All right. That's the most foreign pronunciation of Facebook that I've heard.
Starting point is 00:14:05 It was delightful. Can you buy it on demand anywhere? Not yet. Oh, okay. Why are you asking him? He's asking her. Because I can't see her, so I got nervous. You were afraid she was maybe a ghost?
Starting point is 00:14:19 Yeah, no, you're not supposed to engage ghosts. Who dares ask me about video on demand? Thank you for that information, Sophie. And yeah, everybody can figure out how to see it. You know what I'm saying? Look, you're on Facebook already, right? You're on there checking your stuff. You're seeing what people are up to.
Starting point is 00:14:44 Their baby pictures. Here's what I ate. This, that, the other thing. It's snowing in winter. I can't believe it again. I caught myself to feel something. So then why not just do a little investigation and see when Harry's movie is coming out in a city near you?
Starting point is 00:15:02 This is very simple, you guys. There's no need to complicate it. I don't think either of us followed that. And for those who are listening, it's called Partly Fiction. I don't know if we've mentioned that even yet. Is there a chance of meatballs? Partly Fiction with a chance of meatballs?
Starting point is 00:15:21 Yeah. Part two? That was from a Chris Chalverson song. Partly Truth, Partly fiction with a chance of meatballs? Yeah. Part two? That's from a Chris Tafferson song. Partly truth, partly fiction. From whose song, I'm sorry? Chris Tafferson. Oh, Chris Christofferson. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Is it off of the album Jesus Was a Capricorn? What? Is it from the Chris Christofferson album Jesus Was a Capricorn? I don't know. Look, if you're on Facebook, maybe look that up as well. On Chris Christopherson's Facebook page.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Do you have any questions for the great Harry Dean Stanton, Paul? Yes. Jen, get ready. I got mine. Was Big Love a rewarding show to work on on HBO yeah it was just another Sopranos
Starting point is 00:16:09 they're all gangsters did you enjoy working on that show sure did you do much research about the Mormon faith or no a little bit I can't remember how much. It's all... Religions are all gangs.
Starting point is 00:16:31 I have no beliefs. Jen? On, um... That's a great answer. My favorite John Hughes movie, Pretty in Pink. You played Molly Ringwald's dad. Oh, yeah. Do you have an opinion of who she should have ended up with?
Starting point is 00:16:55 She did end up with Blaine, the rich guy. But a lot of people think she should have ended up with her best friend, Ducky. Are you happy with how they ended the movie with her ending up with Blaine as her dad? I don't give a fuck. Okay. That would have been a great scene.
Starting point is 00:17:22 Dad, guess what? Guess which one I picked at the prom. I don't give a fuck. But in real life, do you have a daughter in real life? Do you have a daughter in real life? A what? A daughter.
Starting point is 00:17:36 No. If you did, would you want her to be with a rich guy or the nerdy, slightly poor guy that loves her? You don't give a fuck. Again, I don't give a fuck. Referring to my previous answer. Paul, are you finding us some information?
Starting point is 00:17:51 I am. Well, because you have such a storied career, would it be okay to continue in this vein and ask you about different films that you've worked on? Sure.
Starting point is 00:18:04 All right. Well, Paul, even better, let's play a game that involves that exact thing. Doug, that's a capital idea. You're going to love it. But to do that, everyone on stage needs to pick a name tag. Did you guys bring name tags this week?
Starting point is 00:18:19 We've got always some fun signs in the audience. And everyone's going to pick somebody to play for. And while they do that, we'll do this. We'll be right back. And this is, you're representing this girl in this game we're about to play. And this is what she's calling a name tag. It's not really, so that probably makes it extra confusing. That's a lot weird, Lorraine.
Starting point is 00:18:47 What's happening right now. But Paul, who are you playing for? I'm playing for Jen, and her name tag is a little top, and it says Incept Jen. Inception, I get that one. It's like a reference to the movie Inception, a movie that I've heard of but not seen.
Starting point is 00:19:02 Dictated, but not read. Jen is holding that crazy eraser head baby in such a loving way right now. I'm actually a pretty sweet girl. But she can barely take care of herself. I didn't want to name it that.
Starting point is 00:19:18 I didn't want to name it that. I'm playing for Sam. You can't name a book yourself. Why would they let you? You think you can Until Simon and Schuster brings the horn down Jerks Well you try writing a book Or reading one
Starting point is 00:19:31 Yeah dumb dumb I've done both Sir Oh The book I wrote was with two other fellas So it doesn't really count What's that? You're playing for Sam
Starting point is 00:19:41 Okay And the game we're going to play... Is it scary? It might be. It might be scary. That thing is so creepy. Comic author, puppeteer, what else can't she do? In honor of our esteemed guest, Mr. Harry Dean Stanton, we're going to change things up today,
Starting point is 00:20:14 and we're going to play one game for all the marbles. It's the new game, a.k.a. the Seth Rogen game. In this game, I name an actor or a director, and then everyone on the panel takes turns naming movies that that actor or director was involved in until we run out and there's one person. I think I can do this one.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Finally. And today... And you're saying marbles are at stake. Yes. All of them. All of the marbles in existence are on the line. This is heady.
Starting point is 00:20:45 Yeah. And, of course, we're going to play today with actor Harry Dean Sten and his films. So we'll start with you, sir. Just name any movie that you're in. Can you bring up on your phone again? Anyone at all. Jen, what are you doing? I'm asking Paul to bring up that list
Starting point is 00:21:06 on his phone again. No. You gotta play for reals. It's okay. It's just for the marbles. All the marbles. All of them. Name a movie that you've been in. That you worked on. Paris, Texas. Bam!
Starting point is 00:21:22 My favorite. Right out of the gate. Paris, Texas. People I know favorite. Right out of the gate. Paris, Texas. People I know here tonight watched parts of it to prepare for this evening. They watched parts of the movie today because they knew they were going to see you tonight. Some friends of mine. You're right.
Starting point is 00:21:41 There's no reason for me to bring that up. But I do love that movie. Paula Tompkins? Yes. What do I do now? Name any Harry Dean Stanton motion picture from his many films, some of which we've mentioned already this evening.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Has anyone said Paris, Texas? Let me check. Judges? I just saw it in the theater hopefully it'll come to you Repo Man Repo Man that's a great one
Starting point is 00:22:16 who by the way is always intense that's my second best choice that would have been what you chose next? Yeah. Okay, well, it's been taken, so... But those are both great movies.
Starting point is 00:22:33 Repo Man was playing downtown at midnight last Saturday. Did you see it, Doug? I did not. I wanted to. Thanks for the retroactive update. It's just I went out to my car and it wasn't there. And I spent all night. I know, it's the most ironic story. Jen.
Starting point is 00:22:52 Name any Harry Dean Stanton film. Well, I'll say Pretty in Pink because I just said it. Oh, you snake. Pretty in Pink. All right. Alien. Alien, bam. They say that when the thing burst out of John Hurt's chest,
Starting point is 00:23:15 that you guys didn't know that that was going to happen. That's why you were so scared. We didn't know what was going to happen. You didn't know what that thing was going to do? That thing looks like that thing a little bit, actually. Do you think they're related? I mean, only in the vaguest sense that we're all brothers and sisters. What is that thing?
Starting point is 00:23:39 We're all aliens and racer head babies. That thing's from David Lynch's Eraserhead is what that's supposed to be from. Eraserhead? Yeah, it's the little guy from Eraserhead, right? The little guy. Or Lynch's Eraserhead is what that's supposed to be from. Eraserhead? Yeah. It's the little guy from Eraserhead, right? The little guy. Or is he Eraserhead? The little fella.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Is this guy known as Eraserhead? Does his head look like an eraser? I didn't know if Sam was a bad puppet maker. No, Eraserhead had, you know, kind of like hair that stood up and hence the name. Like Yahoo Serious? Yeah. No, more Eraser name. Like Yahoo! Serious? Yeah. No. More eraser like.
Starting point is 00:24:07 Like kid and play. And either kid or play. Yes. Pretty sure it was kid. Paul, your turn. Any Harry Dean Stanton movie. The Last Stand. Yes.

Starting point is 00:24:26 Johnny Knoxville? I don't remember. Yeah, it's a... It's a pretty recent one. I think you spent your entire screen time on a tractor in that film. Spent what? On a tractor. You were on a tractor.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Telling someone to get off your land. Oh, yeah. I think I got shot, right? That's correct. He's good at this. Jen? The new movie, Partly Fiction. That counts. That counts.
Starting point is 00:24:58 Partly Smartly. And yeah, nice to get another plug in for it. Exactly. That's what I was thinking. Thanks for having exactly, that's what I was thinking thanks for having me Doug you know how much I know about movies this is really great Mr. Stanton we need another one from you
Starting point is 00:25:17 another movie another movie I've been? yeah, yeah I've done over 200 movies yeah no I didn't think it would be easy Missouri Breaks Missouri Breaks
Starting point is 00:25:33 that's a nice one I don't think either these two would have Jack Nicholson Marlon Marlon Brando yeah very nice
Starting point is 00:25:41 you've worked with everybody huh you've worked with everybody yeah especially now Paul Tompkins and Jen Kirkman. Cross them off your to-do list. To-get list. But thanks again for being here.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Paul, do you have another one that you've thought of? Made 200. I know. Trying to think of them in order somewhere in the upper 80s Walker don't remember that one what's Walker? Alex Cox
Starting point is 00:26:22 Walker's not into What's Walker? Alex Cox. Oh. Walker. No, I didn't do it. Warner Walker? No. You should have been. He wasn't in an Alex Cox movie, though. Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:37 I think. Yes. Well, Repo Man. This would have been, yes, this would have been the third after, second or third after Repo Man. All right. Well, you know, I have been the third after, second or third after Repo Man.
Starting point is 00:26:45 All right, well, you know, I'm devastated to say this, but Paul F. Tompkins is out, everybody. Yeah. It's very sad. And I can name a director
Starting point is 00:26:54 he's worked with, right? You said a director or a name of a movie. I thought you said name a director. Yeah, I thought that at first, too. Or a name of a movie. No, we're either playing
Starting point is 00:27:02 with a director initially or an actor, and this time it's an actor. Yeah, superfluous information that just served to muddy the waters. The Cheech and Chong movie. The next episode we're doing Spielberg. What? Two-stoned.
Starting point is 00:27:14 The movie that you just mentioned. The British film about weight loss? That's how... No, no's not what it's called, so you'd be out also. And that means that Harry Dean Stanton has won. He's the last man Stanton.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Won, won, won. What did I win? You know, it's just a dumb game, and you don't really win anything. I have no clue what's going on. Yeah, but somebody in the audience is going to win all this stuff that we all brought as a prize, and that person is Weird Lorraine. Yeah, so congratulations, Weird Lorraine. Sorry, Sam.
Starting point is 00:28:10 Put that back on your counter. Here you go. That's going to be weird for you to hold for the rest of the show. I don't know where you're going to put that. But yeah, you win all the prizes. And do we have... I don't think they wrote a shithead on the back of either of those, did they?
Starting point is 00:28:27 Sam wrote shithead. Okay, can you pass the... I don't need the whole baby, but I'll just take the piece of paper. Thank you. Paul tried to take a peek. And yours has it on it, too? Nope. Just thought I'd pass it over.
Starting point is 00:28:40 It had something written on it that's crossed out. What happened, Jen? So who is this person? Where are you? Come up and whisper something to Doug. Or whisper something to me. Come on, honey. Come up and whisper something.
Starting point is 00:28:51 No, just come over. Just come over and write it down right here. Just, you know, anyone that you want me to call a shithead at the end of the show, don't look at Paul like that's what you're going to write. Jen, would you like to meet Harry Dean Stanton? It's Jen. Jen. Jen. Jen, would you like to meet Harry Dean Stanton? It's Jen. Jen. Yeah, Jen.
Starting point is 00:29:10 I feel like I'm at Starbucks. Jen, you guys are really hitting it off. So, Paul, we have a few moments here left over. Okay. Because I thought that would last longer than it did but can I say it's honestly you thought I'd name movies
Starting point is 00:29:31 it is honestly it's so it's very difficult because there have been so many films that you've been in that it's like your mind goes blank and I'm sure I think I've probably seen, you know, if you've made 200 films,
Starting point is 00:29:48 I've probably seen more than 100 of them, I'm sure. But it's like, I wasn't prepared to play this game. Yeah, the whole idea is to catch everybody off guard. Well, you did, Doug. Congratulations to you. You and your weird little mind games. It's fun. I was waiting for,
Starting point is 00:30:04 but let's play the game that you started to play before we played the game. Go ahead and pull up on your phone. Let's ask him about specific movies. Well, since we have a little time left over. You mean the game I call Question Game? Mm-hmm. Like, for instance, Escape from New York. See?
Starting point is 00:30:22 There you go. John Carpenter. Yeah, that's a terrific movie. You have a good part in that. Yeah. Fun to shoot. Oh, yeah. Oh, I was going to say that Green Mile.
Starting point is 00:30:32 Jesus Christ. We're really getting there. See, it's hard when you see it, and then you're like, oh, yeah. You were going to say Green Mile? I swear. And then you didn't? Mm-mm.
Starting point is 00:30:41 Because I was like, no, I don't think. Oh, Green Mile. I may well sit on my face. Yes. Baseball Jordan really loves that movie. All right, it's exciting. What do you got, Paul? One of your early ones, Porkchop Hill. You played U.S. soldier with Browning automatic rifle.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Uncredited. You were uncredited in 1959. Don Rickles, right? Was he in that? Don Rickles was in that? Didn't you see it? It's on my list. Porkchop Hill is on my list.
Starting point is 00:31:23 That was Don Rickles and I were a machine gun crew. Was he? What's that? It was Kelly's Heroes. Kelly's Heroes. Oh, that was Kelly. I'm sorry. Kelly's Heroes.
