Doug hates candy wrappers, squeaky babies, sticky seeds with 50 azepop or 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 Mondays. This is Doug Loves Movies coming
to you once again from Suburgatory.
It's Saturday, August 9th, 2020.
And my guests today, this is, I'm so excited.
These are all people that are hyphenates, I just realized, looking at all your credits.
My guests are Jay Beruchel, Esther Povitsky, and Amy Simons.
Hey, you three.
Hello.
Hi there.
Everybody's so polite and afraid to talk over each other in these things,
so it's weird for me to say hello to you all at once.
So let me meet and talk to you individually and alphabetically,
starting with our only first-time guest on the show,
actor-director Jay Boruchel. Hey, man.
Hi there. How are you? Thank you for having me.
Oh, it's so great to talk to you, and I guess meet you. We've never met before, have we?
No, I don't think so, but I've said that plenty of times, and that's been proven not to be the case, so I don't think so um i'm i'm happy you don't remember that either
yeah i don't think we have that's why i don't remember we might have been the same place once
or twice but i just didn't get a chance to say hi of course i would have because uh goon is one of
my favorite movies ever and uh that's really cool and so i'd have to go up and be stupid to you about that um but you got a new
one uh a new movie that you've uh co-written and directed random acts of violence yeah and uh is
it as is it does it deliver on that is it is it actually violent? Ideally.
That was certainly what we put our efforts into.
I guess the world will decide if we succeeded.
But yeah, that was definitely what we tried to do.
Could you imagine a review?
It was just too random for me.
I would have liked to see less of the random and more of the violence.
I like specific acts.
Specific acts of peace and kindness. Yeah. No. Yeah.
I think it's just like, you don't make,
I certainly don't make this movie to not be scary.
So I think if it didn't sort of mess with people or fuck them up, I you know that would be that would be a pretty bad sin to commit you know it could be a mental thing though
like it feels like that would be a title that like a neil labute would use and it's just people
being shitty to each other that's a fucking very good point you know it sounds like sounds like a really smart play but it's uh
it's coming out in uh it's out in canada now and then people can see it uh in the u.s starting on
august 20th correct correct indeed so excited thank you so much for being here thank you for having me uh
actress comedian i didn't say comedian i almost kind of sounded like i did if i slipped into it
that's dumb uh it's esther esther pavisky everybody hey doug and everybody Thanks for having me Thanks for having me back
I feel like I fall into that category
Of female comedians
Who don't know stuff about movies
So I am so grateful
That you're allowing me
To try this again
Well you know I've learned a lesson
Over the years of doing this show
And that's that I like
Women who do comedy very much,
but they don't really care about trivia as a general rule.
There's exceptions.
And also the levels of competition aren't as intense with women.
So I've learned over the years
that you'll find out today
that anyone can win.
Oh.
Yeah.
You can luck into a win.
So we'll see how that works out for you.
But I loved having you on anyway
because I hope it's more of a
comedy show than a, than a trivia show, but I do like, I do like playing my games. You know what
I'm saying? Totally. The name of your special, available on demand on Comedy Central on demand,
Hot For My Name. Yeah. Mr. Povitsky, Hot For My Name. for my name i think that's like been kind of a mantra of yours
for a little bit now right yeah that's kind of been a big part of my comedy i mean it's certainly
been something i've joked about for a long time because my full name is esther pavitsky and it's no Alexis um so I mean yeah she's a time saver just for starters
so much less for people to have to know but um it's funny though that that's because I've
recently started a podcast where we we discuss at, ad nauseum, the name Doug and how
it's not really the greatest starter name for a person.
Interesting.
You know, there's not a lot of great Dugs throughout history, I think because they're
sort of held back by having a name that a lot of people are automatically just too comfortable and familiar and almost, you know, insulting to a little bit.
I believe that because I definitely feel like my name is shaped who I am.
Just like every time I meet someone and they're like, oh, my god, Esther, that's my dead great grandma's name.
She's been dead forever. And I'm like, okay, I feel gorgeous. Thank you.
Esther, that's what we call the blanket our dog died on.
also joining us i'll just that's a that's a good place to segue because uh we've dead dogs have been a part of uh amy's filmography it's actress director amy silence hi amy hi how are you doing
thank you for having me back oh i'm so good and thank you for coming back
you know you're a genuine filmmaker coming on this show with a bunch of silly silly pants people
and uh i really appreciate it um the new film your new film she dies tomorrow is in drive-ins now
and will be available at home for people to watch on august 20th it's actually
available right now it's you can get it now where you can get it itunes amazon it's on vod
sort of like everywhere and then it will be available later on on hulu as well that's
those damn hoolans they get in your head and they make you think that's the date.
So yeah, so people can get it now.
Well, that's great because then people can watch that now and they can watch Jay's movie on August 20th.
And Esther is probably hoping people have Hulu because both of your shows are on
Hulu alone and doll face are both available.
All the episodes are on Hulu right now.
Yeah.
And my special is currently streaming free on cc.com with no login required,
which is a big deal these days.
Yeah.
I don't want to log in what that's that's just gonna lead to problems I'm trying to log out wherever
possible yeah I want to be off the grid not more in the grid I don't get all
stuck in the grid it's's just, it's scary.
Okay, so that's, those are our players today. We're going to jump right into the
game portion of the show
and we'll come back, we'll talk
a little bit more about movies at the end,
you know, time permitting.
This first game
we're going to play, we're going to play two games. The first
one is, it's a brand new
game. It's called Trolls or Holes.
And that could be, I mean, the mind reels at all the things that that name
could mean, Trolls and Holes.
Esther, do you have any idea what that is?
The dizzying heights of possibility.
Yeah.
You know, the book and the famous Shia LaBeouf movie, Holes, comes to mind.
Mm-hmm.
And then, of course, the Justin Timberlake, Anna Kendrick vehicle, Trolls.
Mm.
Indeed.
So that's what I'm talking about. Whoa. Anna Kendrick vehicle, Trolls.
That's what I'm talking about.
Specifically those two films?
Those two films aimed at young people, youngins.
But also from different time periods.
So there's some clues there, I guess, that you can use. But what's going to happen is I'm going to name a movie.
We're going in alphabetical order.
So I'm going to start with you, Jay.
I'm just going to name a movie.
And you tell me if – I'm sorry, I'll name an actor.
And then you tell me if that actor was in Holes from 2003 starring Shia LaBeouf
or Trolls
with Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake
not Trolls World Tour
I'm not messing around with that
I don't know anything about it
I thought that was
those are two movies?
Trolls and Holes
I mean
I know we have some filmmakers
involved here so if you want to take
Trolls and Holes as a title for an upcoming project,
it's up for grabs.
Thank you very much.
We'll see what I can do.
It could mean so many things.
But the first person to two correct answers wins.
Let's start digging.
Jay Beruchel, the actor Dulé Hill from West Wing
and that other show about him and another guy.
Was he a voice in Trolls or a person in Holes?
Oh, fuck.
I'm going to, given proximity to the West Wing, you know, I'd have to say Holes.
Holes is correct.
He must have been like a young man when he showed up in Holes.
The world was his oyster.
That puts you on the board, Jay.
You have one point.
Congratulations. Thanks very much.
Are you ready?
I am.
Holes or Trolls?
The great,
often political in her
acceptance speeches, Patricia
Arquette.
Oh, no.
This is tricky because Oh no.
This is tricky because she's been around.
So that would suggest like, okay, maybe you lean towards holes, but I also feel like she's very much in the conversation right now and could
totally be a voice in trolls,
but she doesn't seem super
character-y,
voice-y, so I guess
I'm going to say holes.
I really liked hearing your work
on that.
And you did it.
You arrived at the correct conclusion.
Yes!
Very good. I'm not getting anything past anybody so far. You did it. You arrived at the correct conclusion. It is Patricia Arquette.
Very good. I'm not getting anything past anybody so far.
Amy Scheimitz.
You're going to get so many things past me.
I'm just letting Esther know I will lose immediately.
As a personal favor to me.
To you, yeah.
That's what we're going with. I did it intentionally intentionally for you i'm doing my best for the you know for the weaker players with questions where you have a 50 50 shot
and this is going to be what you're going to have to do i think i think you're going to have to guess
because you don't sound like a holes or trolls uh expert no or even familiar with them at
all so uh ken davidian who we've all seen naked in borat on borat i should say uh wrestling in a
hotel room uh that gentleman would you say that he is in holes or a voice in trolls?
I'm going to say trolls. That's my gut feeling.
You know what? You were right about not being good at this.
The answer is holes in everything. That's what it sounds like i now i can't i'm catching on now
yeah at the very least i i know myself that i'm bad at it so i i can i can live with that
yeah no that's a that's all i want in a guest really
a humble loser is perfect
um back to you, Jay.
The great Eartha Kitt.
She was one of the three cat women on...
Yeah, of course.
Yeah.
Yeah, wait.
Yeah.
I feel like, and this is going to come across as terribly callous, but is she still alive?
You know what? When I was putting this game together, I asked myself that same question.
I smoked another bowl and didn't look it up.
It's the abyss problem to solve now um well she was cat woman to adam west's batman
so um i don't know why that i guess i got it the conservative money says holes but i feel like at a certain point it's got to be trolls. So, yeah, fuck it.
I'm going to say trolls.
Okay.
I'm wrong, aren't I?
Well, I've got bad news on two fronts
because you are incorrect
and she passed away in 2008.
So holes, yeah, all right.
It's holes.
It's all holes, isn't it?
She got in holes before.
She got in one last hole before.
Before the ultimate hole.
What's the place they go to after the last hole in golf?
I know they go to the bar, but don't they have a fun expression for it you're
asking the wrong guy this is a 10 girl no points on that question i know they often refer to like
the 19th hole as like where you know going to have a drink or something um we're up to Esther again
very exciting
Esther this is your chance to take the lead
how do you feel about the great
Henry Winkler
oh wow
yeah
wow okay
okay
you know I would argue that his career is bigger in the current time that we're in than it was in 2000. Whatever, when Holes came out.
Okay. I'm going to say Trolls because he just feels like someone that,
and a fun name that you would want to throw in your animated blockbuster movie.
I get that. I get that logic. He's this half decade's Kyle MacLachlan.
Doug, what's the good word um unfortunately oh no wait now i like it really sounded right like i wish there was some people should be allowed to take aptitude tests where if their bullshit
sounds accurate they're right well now that you're like leaning towards that
i'm wrong i'm fully picturing henry winkler as like the bad guy in holes now i'm like i totally
should have known get out of my hole i don't know if he was a bad guy he might have been like the
good prison you know the nice prison guard or maybe the prison teacher or I don't know.
I don't, you know, I don't really remember the movie that well.
I just remember that there was some holes in the,
in the story and the plot.
There's like a big twist at the end that I can't remember what it is.
Oh, Kevin Bacon comes to town and everybody dances.
I know.
The hole's been dead the whole time.
Oh, no. I'm thinking Tremors.
Oh, Tremors.
I love that movie.
What about Tremors 2
through 36?
How many were there?
There's a whole bunch.
At least five.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, I love that.
I love the progression, too, because, like, the guy that was, like, the fourth lead and the first Tremors character by the fifth one.
There's hope.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I was just hanging in there.
Wait, who's up next? Oh, uh it's esther's turn oh no amy's turn again
apologies do you know the gentleman he's a very good actor tim blake nelson
um i'm not familiar with his work but i'm assuming he was in the holes that's your guess that's your final oh yeah yeah
no i just i see a trend happening and i'm gonna go with that you know sometimes that works out
in somebody's favor and other times it's a disaster because they just make that choice
at just the wrong time but you are correct it is home on the board yeah definitely on the
board it's a three-way tie right now so the next person to get one right is our winner
um but there's more games to come one more game what did tim blake nelson do? I'm just curious now. He's an old brother
where art thou.
He's not Goodman or
Clooney.
Didn't he direct that movie O?
With Julius Stiles,
the Othello that was
in high school? I bet he did.
I bet he did. He's directed a few
independent movies over the years.
He was John C. Reilly's buddy in that jenna franison movie the the good wife
and or was it the good girl
sorry that would be a really great title i think it's a really good title for 2020, right? The Good Girl. Oh, God.
Directed by a white male.
Yeah.
Perfect.
I hope we can find one. Are there any white males that take on such a role?
Sounds like it might have a female lead.
Does anybody really want to play it?
I'll be it.
I'm hungry for work. Okay. It sounds like it might have a female lead. Does anybody really want to play? I'll be it. I'm hungry for work.
Okay. It does sound like it's starring my dog, if I'm being honest.
Because she is a good girl.
That's so sweet.
It was one of those movies about housewives that wakes up one day and goes,
what? Why am I doing this?
Why is that guy all I have in my life?
All right.
That means Amy's on the board.
Jay, are you ready?
You know it.
John Voight. Oh oh for fuck's sake uh yeah um yeah well i feel like
i feel like trolls has been the the entirety of this trolls franchise that i'm learning about i
um it seems to have been all released in the uh of post-9-11 John Voight.
So I'm going to go ahead and save holes.
I love that.
I mean, if you see Trolls, there isn't a role for him anyway.
That's what I'm thinking.
I love that he still was shut out of the casting process because of his politics.
of the casting process because of his politics.
It's like I feel like
there's at least 15 guys
they go to before him
for whatever application
he might have in trolls.
Yeah, that's correct.
You're correct, Jade.
You are officially
the winner of that game.
Congratulations.
Oh, hey, thanks.
Oh, wow.
Wow, yeah.
Wow. You know what, what though this will be fun
let's uh let's continue with uh esther and amy if you each get this your next one right
then you'll be tied with jay and we'll figure out some sort of tiebreaker
all right so the next one is uh sigourney weaver and that goes to esther which one i i keep wanting to bet on
people's comebacks in trolls but i am not gonna go with that and i'm just gonna say holes
that is correct. Yes. Okay, good. This is exciting, Amy.
We're making a game of it.
We're making a real game of it.
It's a real game.
You're the winner, Jay.
We're going ahead anyway.
John Cleese.
John Cleese, Amy.
John Cleese.
um jeez i mean i i want to say holes but i feel like i feel like it's all the you know i'm just gonna say holes because i'm a good loser
it's trolls. I knew it.
Yeah.
I can't win them all, you know.
Okay, let's try to settle this tie.
I got two more left.
We'll give one to Jay and one to Esther.
And if you both get it right,
then we'll just have to virtual arm wrestle or shambo or something.
I love that Jay already won, but
I'm still in the running somehow.
I just want to say I'm really
enjoying that.
As am I.
The victory is quite
hollow, to be honest.
I'm happy that there's still some drama
yeah
Esther, Christine Baranski
holes or trolls?
holes
this one is
challenging me because she is
she's
a musical theater
powerhouse
you know and I feel like Trolls might be a musical.
I'm going to say Trolls.
That is correct.
Oh, yes.
I am.
That's scary.
You know, when you come, you have like a near-death experience.
That was what I just said. i would have answered uh holes that's scary all right well we're back to you jay for this last one if you uh if you get this
right we'll have we'll have a tie that we'll just we'll just have to put it down in the record books
you know we're probably not to have a full season this year
because of COVID.
It's an asterisk year.
I'm running around my apartment.
I might give myself COVID so this show might shut down.
I mean, you can't get it from your own sweat and spit and stuff, right?
I mean, you can't get it from your own sweat and spit and stuff, right?
I don't know that that's a provable sentence or assertion.
All bets are off at this point, I think.
Okay.
I'm certainly my greatest threat to my own health and well-being.
Relatable. Relatable.
That's what they say about all weapons. It's more of a
danger to the owner than anyone else.
Okay.
The name
is Zoe Deschanel.
Holes.
Holes is
sort of
99 to
30
oh fuck I could go either way
yeah
yeah
no good
lord hates a coward trolls
that's correct yes Yeah, no good Lord hates a coward trolls.
That's correct.
But I got a way to settle this.
We don't have to settle this tie, but I need a winner for this next game.
But I've got an idea of how to solve the problem, and I will tell you all about it after this brief break for advertisements.
We'll be right back.
We're back.
I told you it was fast.
Holy smokes, yeah, time flies when you're listening to good advertisements.
That really sounds like one of those, you know, paid
you know,
person, but we paid them to say this
testimonials.
Sometimes you don't even know
someone's trying to sell you something.
You don't even notice.
We've been selling stuff this entire
show. Everybody's going to watch both of your movies.
Sorry, Esther.
What?
Why am I left out?
No, they've got to watch all of your shows.
You have lots of stuff that's pretty new for people to see. I'm digging myself
into a troll here. Since we called that a tie between Esther and Jay, what we're going to do is you're both going to get the privilege of determining what name we're going to use in the next game.
It's called last person standing.
And we usually do it with one name, but sometimes with more than one name.
So Esther and Jay, you each get to pick an actor or actress.
Gender doesn't matter.
I prefer actresses because, you know, I like to play along,
and we play all the, you know, men.
The names of all the famous men get brought up constantly,
so it's more of a challenge if it's women.
And, yeah, so you each get to pick somebody uh amy just has to be at the
mercy of uh the two names that uh the other two players come up with but i play along as well so
i will also uh be at their mercy esther do you have somebody in mind somebody whose films you're quite familiar with enough of their titles
to
I do and I really
just I hate to be myself
here but I have no choice
to say Lindsay
Lohan
that's an awesome choice
thank you
I might not
be familiar with
some of her more recent efforts
so you'll have to
convince me
I don't think
there are many
there's a few nightclubs and resorts
and stuff on the Mediterranean
yeah there's Club Lohan
which is a reality show that
went for one season on MTV.
But we can talk about that on a different episode.
Just briefly, though, was she nice to the people that worked for her there?
Because I saw an episode where they were all mad at her.
I don't know.
I think that was a really overproduced show.
That was a really overproduced show.
I think if you want the real Lindsay, you have to watch the limited own the Oprah network series.
It was a reality.
It was more of a documentary series called Lindsay.
And that is quite frankly,
the most artfully crafted thing I've ever watched.
And if you can find that online,
I definitely recommend watching it because she does
verbally abuse her assistant
and emotional abuse.
And it's a ride.
There's also a very compelling cell phone
video of her trying to
kidnap a child off the street
somewhere in the Arab world.
And that child's parents are none too
pleased. Yes. If you haven't seen this already,
yeah, it's awful are none too pleased. Yes, if you haven't seen this already, yeah, it's awful.
Oh my God.
She's convinced herself that the child's parents
are not the child's parents.
And she stalks this family for blocks and blocks.
And anyway, I'll let you guys unpack the let you guys you know unpack the rest of it
oh i've seen it i've seen it it's pretty it's pretty it's pretty intense yeah
it's a thriller in the making it's really when i'm trying to
it's probably more thrilling than either me or jay's movies honestly arguably yeah i'd say it certainly says
hey here's a quick question for the two of you without have you either one of you you haven't
seen each other's films have you no i haven't yet but i'm really really excited to and that's
and that's in all sincerity i believe it because there's lots of great word on it, Rotten Tomatoes and whatnot.
But which one, like, if they were a double feature,
because, like, drive-ins always have double features,
so I bet you there's drive-ins out there that are going to play them together.
What order do you think people should watch them in?
Which one would be...
If it's like a rock concert...
In case of scary, unsettling movies,
do you...
Any ideas which way they should do it?
I think I've asked this dumb question
because I think it's hard to answer, right?
No, but I guess...
If it's like a rock concert, then I think they play, they end with hers.
I was going to say, I didn't want to taint his movie with my movie. But also mine's much more,
like, it's sort of like, once you watch the random acts of violence or the specific ones,
It's sort of like once you watch the random acts of violence or the specific ones,
then you would want to meditate on your own death in my movie, I think.
Oh, I see.
How long is yours?
How long is yours?
Because I could settle it.
It's only 85 minutes.
All right, we're 80.
So we'll get ours out of the way and then people can well that's a really good double feature then that's like
not wasting anyone's time you know what I mean
it's a perfect night out
at a drive-in if any of them are doing it
I really do think they will
I saw I forget what
in LA
Amy your movie's playing
at a drive-in but I think
I forget what it's playing with
maybe the rental maybe movies playing at a drive-in, but I don't forget what it's playing with.
Maybe The Rental, maybe?
Probably. That's still out.
Dave's movie's still out, yeah.
I didn't realize we had
drive-ins here. I gotta do that.
Oh, yeah. There's
a few screens here.
In fact, Michael
B. Jordan's been curating
an event on every few Wednesdays.
I think it's on Wednesdays where they'll do a couple of movies that, you know,
will fall under a Black Lives Matter sort of umbrella out at the drive-in.
I think next Wednesday maybe they're going to show Do the Right Thing and Get Out.
Cool.
Both equally scary, I think.
They're both very unsettling.
And yeah,
that's a fun night
out at the drive-in. Yeah, out at
Vineland is the one that
I've been to a bunch, or where
mine's playing, but Vineland, which is
east of
downtown LA
yeah it's like I want to say that it's in Paramount or is it in City of Industry City of Industry
yeah there's two down there there's one in Paramount and one in City of Industry and then
there's one out in uh out in Claremont out by kind of by West Covina. Yes. I'm meaning to go to that one.
That's what that's called the Tiki Drive-In Theater so I already like the
the vibe of it. It's all Tiki themed. Yeah it's also playing there too. Yes. Yeah.
Okay. Esther you said Lindsay Lohan. Jay have you thought of somebody that would
be that you really know their filmography?
Yeah.
So what do I do once I know that?
Just tell us.
All right.
So yeah, I got some.
Val Kilmer.
Oh, that is a great one.
Agreed.
I feel like this is retaliation against me.
For saying Lindsay Lohan.
You know, that's the thing.
It's typically, you know, those that know more Kilmers can jump on
the Lohans and vice versa, so
it'll be interesting to see
how this shakes out. All four of us
will take turns.
We'll start with
Jay and then
Esther, then Amy, and then me.
And, yeah, see how this goes.
What do we do exactly?
I still don't know.
I apologize.
You name a movie that either one of them was in.
Okay, okay, gotcha.
For the rest of all of our knowledge,
because I don't like to take the time to look up and see if the answers are there.
All right, all right, gotcha.
You know, it's like a game around a campfire and nobody has their phones.
That's nice.
Thank you.
I'd like to look at it, but I think every week there's somebody
that's just cheating and looking everything up as we play.
I obviously am not.
It's so hard not to.
I just want to be clear that it would be so easy to do that,
and it's just, I just can't believe the self-restraint I'm showing.
You're a saint.
You're a saint, Esther.
I really am.
She's one of our heroes right now.
This is what it feels like.
This is what it feels like to be close to someone like this.
I'm always wondering what it would like to be my closest neighbor.
Okay, Jay, any movie with Lindsay Lohan or Bill Kilmer in it?
I don't believe they ever worked together.
No, I don't think they did.
Yeah, all right, The Salton Sea.
Very good. Not one hot. somebody no I don't think they did yeah all right the Salton Sea very good not going out
Esther
mean girls
I mean you might as well right
there's no reason to wait on that
Amy
I'm gonna go with Laurel Canyon Amy?
I'm going to go with Laurel Canyon.
Have you seen this?
No, that's the one she did with the porn actor, right?
Yes.
No, I haven't. How is it?
I love it. I mean, I like it in many ways.
It's totally wild.
Is that a Paul Schrader movie?
Yeah, it's Paul Schrader.
That's why I like it.
I love his stuff.
There was a time when Paul Schrader was dancing around
because his son listens to Doug Loves Movies.
So there was a time when he was dancing around the idea of being a guest.
But every time I emailed with him I was like
it just filled me with dread because his filmmaking is so serious but his emails you know they were
friendly but it was still like he just seems like one of the most serious filmmakers out there to me
he also there was a period of time where like on Facebook I'm not really on it anymore
but I think he thought he was sending me private messages
that were like about my film work and then he like really hated a movie I was in and he very
very publicly was just like Amy I respect you so much and I don't know why you did this movie
and I was like can you private message me but it felt like but I'm like such a fan of his you know yeah that's what i'm
saying he's a serious dude but but seems nice yeah and i was like i i wasn't making money do
you know what i mean i was like paul schroeder can you please stop publicly commenting about my
very indie decisions like i need work and i need to get paid. Yeah, I don't know. Some of those experiences teach you more.
It informs other roles.
It's crazy to be that way.
Here's the thing.
I love his movies, yeah.
That's like the worst version of having a nut bar relative
post a bunch of weird propaganda.
It's so much more embarrassing.
Yes.
I'm utterly mortified.
I wasn't mortified for him.
I was mortified for myself. That's what I mean. I would be utterly mortified I wasn't mortified for him I was mortified for myself
I would be mortified
I would be mortified for myself
yeah
okay I'm just gonna
take out a big Kilmer and say
Top Gun
nice
so
that means it's me again
what? so it's me again what?
so it's me again right?
yeah but you can pick from all the films of Lindsay or Val
yeah alright
Spartan
the parent trap
oh that you stole my
yeah

holy fuck yeah alright
yeah Tombstone
wow
he's so good in that.
My favorite performance in anything.
The fucking, when he's
twirling around the teacup like it's a
fucking gun. The best.
Oh, good.
Him and Michael Biehn just speaking Latin to each
other.
Oh, yeah.
If you're in the mood for a mustache parade,
Tombstone has always been to do the job.
A lot of mustache.
Esther.
Not proud to know this movie,
but the name of it is Herbie Fully Loaded.
Yes, that is the name of it.
That is definitely it.
It tells you at the age that Lindsay started name of it. That is definitely it. It was around the age that
Lindsay started getting fully loaded.
Yes.
Fully.
Fully.
Full-on loaded.
Amy?
We're running out. He was in
True Romance, wasn't he?
Yes, he fucking was.
Yeah, okay, yeah.
Yeah. All right, I fucking was. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
All right.
Hang on.
What's that?
Slow down.
It's on me, right?
No.
Yes.
You get a breather.
So probably not going to say one that you would take.
I don't think.
Oh, what's that one where she was all?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. Yes. Uh, yeah. Um, uh, was Lindsay Lohan not in a movie called, uh,
I Know Who Killed Me? Oh. Where she played an exotic dancer. um yes and she knew who killed her i assume i've never
seen it i just remember the title in the trailer yeah oh my god i told yes wow deep into it it
should have been with a question mark though at the end of it like you you know like i know who
killed me i know who killed me that sounds like what whole movie she's got to figure it out like she knows she should know
she's got to put the pieces together
uh esther this movie i believe was like originally supposed to be theatrical release but then
somewhere along the way it became
a Lifetime movie. I might be misremembering
but
Liz and Dick.
What's that about?
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
Oh, amazing.
Who played
Richard Burton? I don't remember.
That's a good question.
I forget.
I say I forget like I ever vividly knew.
It's not information I learned and then lost over the years.
It's often surprising in those things.
I mean, just that they're starting,
that they started off with, yeah, Lindsay Lohan's could be just a boring British guy not
boring you know like a smart looking British guy to play a nice nice fucking nice v-neck on him yeah
smart nice smart look to him all right um
the it's my turn it's my turn oh yeah i only know this it just came to me because i know
the person that shot this but um there's a film called Palo Alto. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
I will say, wait, I have to go back to the Lifetime thing because I am obsessed with Lifetime movies for women.
Yeah.
And Mary Herron, who is a wonderful director who directed American Psycho,
and she directed something for Lifetime movies for women about Anna Nicole Smith.
That's really worth checking out.
I own it on iTunes.
It's so good.
It's Mary Herron.
What's it called?
Oh, God. I mean, I think it's just the
Anna Nicole Smith story.
I'll just look for the director
and Anna Nicole's name.
Yeah, she's amazing.
Mary Herron, yeah.
American Psycho,
that takes on more cult status all the time.
Yeah.
Yeah, she's fantastic.
She directed the new Handmaid's Tale, I think,
or a bunch of it.
She did.
And Alien's Grace.
Alien's Grace.
I was going to say, she did that.
She's amazing. But yeah but also my mom
my mom really wants me she she doesn't understand how like movies work so like she's like one day
you'll direct for lifetime and uh and hallmark channel like she doesn't understand that like my deal is with FX and then I've directed you
know she's like one day you'll do something that really breaks through where are you from where
does your mom live in Florida yeah well because whenever I go to my grandma's house the Hallmark
channel does not get turned off and I like it's same thing. If I was on the Hallmark channel,
I feel like my grandma would actually answer the phone when I call.
Like it would be a big deal.
Yeah. Well, that's the thing. It's like now,
now she's gotten it in my head and like,
I've seen the stuff that like that Kristen Wiig and Will and Will Therrell
did for Lifetime. And I'm like, can I do that for Hallmark too?
We should do it together. Yeah. Let it okay oh my god we're just we just we just made millions of dollars
okay great yeah actually hallmark probably not yeah exactly it will probably cost us money we
made about ten thousand dollars great. Great. Okay. Yeah.
I mean, they're still going strong because who doesn't love sending out cards?
Oh, I don't think the debate is how wealthy a corporation Hallmark is. I think the debate is how much of that gets translated into production cost.
Right.
Exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah.
Their business is dying, so they've got to be chintzy.
Okay, top secret.
Your turn, Jay.
Is it my turn?
All right.
Fucking,
I just had it.
The Saint.
Oh, yeah. I just had it The Saint Oh yeah This might be my last one
That's coming to mind maybe
Life Size
Starring Lindsay Lohan and Tyra Banks
The made for TV movie
Back in the day
So much made for TV
Amy so much made for tv amy oh god um isn't there a really terrible movie about space
uh is it is it like red planet you're right that's the one
oh yeah is that we haven't said that yet right okay no no no Like Red Planet? You're right. That's the one. Yeah.
We haven't said that yet, right?
Okay.
No, no one said Red Planet.
That's a real good poll.
I'm getting in trouble on both Lindsay.
I mean, Lindsay seems really, you know, out of Lindsay titles.
Wells Run Dry, I think.
A long time ago, yeah. That seems rude.
We don't know.
Yeah, that's
true. That's a good point. I'm sorry.
She's still got a few years. She's got some good
fun.
I can't think
of any... I'm really
drawing a blank on Kilmer's, you know, because
that's part of the thing
is this heyday was
you got to kind of reach back
and uh
you know you can't say
touring comedy clubs
doing Mark Twain impression
oh yeah
that's right
oh my god
it's so dark
so dark
you son of a bitch It's so dark. So dark.
You son of a bitch.
I mean, actually, he just shows the film that he did,
the one-man show of him doing Twain,
and then he comes out and does a Q&A.
So he doesn't do Twain every night.
He just makes sure the audience sees it before he does a q a um but then you can ask him
about anything including batman forever i just remembered that one yeah um uh thunderheart Thunderheart. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. That's a, yeah.
I think I'm done.
I'm like, I think I'm,
because I don't,
I definitely don't know about Kilmer movie.
He's been in so many things,
you could just say words right now.
Yeah, just put a few words together.
I want to like,
I don't even know if you guys said this one
or if I'm,
who am I really thinking of, but I'm just going to say
true romance
I already said it
okay
and I should have remembered that it was said
um
Val Kilmer
I just don't I don't have a
chance you guys I have no chance
yeah I think I'm
almost done, too.
Unless something comes to me. But Amy,
do you have any more? I just remembered one.
Okay. Heat.
Yes. The best.
The best. That's such a good one.
See, that's what happens in this game. It's like a
real great obvious one.
Sometimes it doesn't get mentioned at all.
Do you have any more, Jay?
Yeah.
I certainly do um there's the one the one he uh met his ex-wife on joanne whaley they did a movie together
oh frig i can see the i can see the poster i know what movie you're talking about it's like a
thriller kind of and like a of a cop thriller kind of thing
and there's like I can see the fucking
poster at the video store
alright so I'm going to bail on that one and say
Prince of Egypt
oh okay
the cartoon
oh interesting
the Ten Commandments cartoon
what I thought you were talking about
initially, just now, that other
movie, you were saying Joanne Whaley,
they were in Willow together.
They were in Willow. That's, fuck.
Sorry. They met on Willow. They did a movie
together afterwards.
Neither one of us can think of the name of that
one. And that's where she's credited as
Joanne Whaley Kilmer. But yeah, Willow's the
one. Yeah. Do you have anything else? I have one. I have one. And that's where she's credited as Joanne Whaley Kilmer. But yeah, Willow's the one. Yeah.
Do you have anything else?
I have one. I have one.
Alright, if Jay doesn't have one.
No, but he just got one, so we're
still sort of... He just did two, right?
No, it's Jay's turn now.
Oh, wait, no, I haven't said... No, no, it's hers. It's her.
It's her turn. It's my turn.
The
Island of Dr. Moreau.
Yeah, well fucking done.
Yeah, that's a good one.
That's the documentary about the production of that film
is one of the best movies about movies ever made.
So wild, yeah.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Fucking story.
The Ghost in the Darkness.
Yes, I thought of that when she said i love dr
moreau so i i think i'm out if amy has another one i have i i don't let me just
give myself a sec i god i can't believe i know this much about him to begin with uh but he's so he's so prolific i mean but yeah uh
no i don't have i don't have one we're definitely missing some some bit you know
that's all i don't know if we missed any big ones but uh uh that means jay wins you did it jay
thank you yay the last one's for Candy oh crap
it's Bad Lieutenant
like the more
yes
yes indeed
okay that's okay Jake can win it's fine
no no she wins
she wins that one that's the one
they're both in that
yes
oh I got it
yeah I've seen a few clips from it Nicolas Cage, they're both in that? Yes! Oh, I got it.
Yeah.
I've seen a few clips from it.
It's insane.
Have you seen the original Bad Lieutenant 2?
Yeah, that's why I haven't seen Bad Lieutenant 2,
because I was like, that first one really... But it's Werner Herzog, right?
Am I correct?
Yeah.
He directed it, yeah.
It's got a totally different vibe, I guess.
It's one of the weirdest
American movies in a long time.
Yeah, I gotta
get into it. Gotta give it a go.
One more
time, Jay. Random
Acts of Violence
is all over Canada
right now.
And then
we get it here on August 20th?
Correct, on Shudder, the drive-in that's on your computer or TV.
Shudder is awesome.
And just between all of the people listening,
you can get a free trial and watch jay's movie and then
make more decisions after that
wicked um esther pavitsky
are you still here yeah i thought you left because you got knocked out. I thought you just said it. No, no. Left face. No, no.
Alone Together and Dollface on Hulu.
Yeah.
Hot For My Name comedy special produced by the one and only Adam Sandler
is on Comedy Central On Demand, and you don't need a login.
That's right.
Now streaming for free. Yeah.
That's awesome. Gonna watch
that. And Amy
Simons
She Dies
Tomorrow
is in drive-ins now.
And
streaming as well. And then hulu later this month yes
yeah i didn't want to mess that up again no no it's it's cool i always mess it up i always
sort of i have no idea it's so surreal during this time to have anything released that it
who knows what time is totally agree people. People need stuff to do
and watch.
I feel like these horror
movies have been ruling the
summer. It seems to be the
genre.
Especially anything with a different take on it
is very
exciting. Did you guys
see Palm Springs?
It did. Not yet. not yet that's my uh you know
that's the one i've been pushing oh also has anybody here i might have asked amy this before
last time you were on but have any of you seen the the movie predestination with ethan hawke
no no i don't think you asked me that i mean that was the that would have been the time because we
were on with eli roth but i i think he talked about it right kitty i think he i think you guys
were talking about it yeah because people keep recommending it to me but people either recommend
it or they have no idea what i'm talking about like there's no it's a really supposedly a real
hidden gem so i uh i still owe the listeners that because they're
constantly tweeting at me to watch it and i keep putting it off but it's on a i think it's on like
voodoo or something right now so i can get it for like uh you know a few bucks and finally finally
get it over with it's a time travel thing and so i think people get extra attached to time travel
movies when they like them well. Jay has a time travel movie
as well
with the sofa.
Whoa, yes.
I did not
expect to talk about that movie.
It's called Fitching Cody.
It's a
$700,000 Canadian movie
about time traveling junkies
in the east side of Vancouver.
Very fun.
Yeah.
I can't believe I missed that.
That sounds awesome.
Yeah, it's very much what it sounds like.
It really speaks for itself.
Okay, well, we did it.
Thank you, everybody, for being here. Oh, should I promote anything? Nah,
you know what to do.
Two episodes of Wide World of Doug's every week.
My Patreon is called Getting Doug on Patreon.
If you want to sign up there for, to keep the weed show that I do,
keep that going
oh one more question
for everybody does anybody here
have a favorite like last
line from a movie because that's how
I close out every episode now
I say a line from a
movie
and I didn't think of one today
is the last line in Psych i wouldn't hurt a fly
yes yes i wouldn't even hurt she wouldn't she wouldn't hurt a fly or something like that
she wouldn't even hurt a fly again but doesn't but doesn't she then doesn't norman then say it
as he's sitting in there like see i'm not even going to hurt that fly am I
I don't
sometimes the last
line gets ruined and now also
movies these days they got to have those bonus
scenes all the time so then what's
technically the last line of the movie
you know
Seven's got a pretty strong
one that I'm going to butcher and paraphrase
but it's something Morgan Freeman quotes someone and says I think Yeah, Seven's got a pretty strong one that I'm going to butcher and paraphrase.
Morgan Freeman quotes someone and says,
I think Mills is the world's a good place and worth fighting for.
And he says, I agree with the second part or the second, you know, something like that. And yeah, and he goes back to work and blah, blah, blah.
So that's a pretty good way to end the movie.
I can't, I can't repeat that. So I'm just going to say,
thank you everybody. And as always, what Jay said.
Now it's time for Doug to watch another talkie.
Eyes of gold is viewing prowess makes him cocky.
There's no room in his heart for you.
Cause Doug loves movies.
