Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:42 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.
Starting point is 00:01:08 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.
Starting point is 00:02:08 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.
Starting point is 00:02:37 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
Starting point is 00:03:34 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
Starting point is 00:04:00 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
Starting point is 00:04:28 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
Starting point is 00:04:51 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.
Starting point is 00:05:54 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
Starting point is 00:07:05 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.
Starting point is 00:07:59 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
Starting point is 00:08:35 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
Starting point is 00:09:00 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.
Starting point is 00:09:25 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?
Starting point is 00:09:53 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
Starting point is 00:10:23 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
Starting point is 00:10:39 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.
Starting point is 00:10:57 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.
Starting point is 00:11:33 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?
Starting point is 00:11:55 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
Starting point is 00:12:19 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.
Starting point is 00:12:40 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.
Starting point is 00:13:01 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.
Starting point is 00:13:57 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.
Starting point is 00:14:35 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.
Starting point is 00:15:26 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.
Starting point is 00:15:46 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
Starting point is 00:16:25 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
Starting point is 00:16:44 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
Starting point is 00:17:58 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.
Starting point is 00:18:29 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.
Starting point is 00:18:43 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.
Starting point is 00:19:04 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
Starting point is 00:20:05 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
Starting point is 00:20:21 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?
Starting point is 00:20:59 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,
Starting point is 00:21:26 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
Starting point is 00:22:00 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
Starting point is 00:22:27 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.
Starting point is 00:22:40 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
Starting point is 00:23:12 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.
Starting point is 00:23:39 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.
Starting point is 00:24:18 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.
Starting point is 00:24:37 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
Starting point is 00:24:56 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.
Starting point is 00:25:17 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.
Starting point is 00:25:50 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.
Starting point is 00:26:24 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
Starting point is 00:26:45 sort of 99 to 30 oh fuck I could go either way yeah yeah no good lord hates a coward trolls
Starting point is 00:27:04 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.
Starting point is 00:27:42 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.
Starting point is 00:28:02 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.
Starting point is 00:28:54 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.
Starting point is 00:29:23 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
Starting point is 00:29:56 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
Starting point is 00:30:10 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.
Starting point is 00:30:30 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.
Starting point is 00:30:55 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
Starting point is 00:31:13 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
Starting point is 00:31:34 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
Starting point is 00:32:16 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,
Starting point is 00:32:50 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,
Starting point is 00:33:24 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.
Starting point is 00:33:43 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
Starting point is 00:34:00 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.
Starting point is 00:34:16 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.
Starting point is 00:34:46 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
Starting point is 00:35:01 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.
Starting point is 00:35:35 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.
Starting point is 00:35:55 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
Starting point is 00:36:15 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.
Starting point is 00:36:32 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.
Starting point is 00:36:51 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.
Starting point is 00:37:15 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.
Starting point is 00:37:40 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
Starting point is 00:38:04 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.
Starting point is 00:38:28 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
Starting point is 00:38:45 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
Starting point is 00:39:33 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.
Starting point is 00:39:56 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
Starting point is 00:40:10 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?
Starting point is 00:40:26 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 McGruber yeah you stole mine
Starting point is 00:40:43 oh Kiss Kiss bang bang awesome flick uh real genius oh that's such a good one oh i want popcorn oh freaky friday freaky friday you're you're on you're on a roll with these yeah crap are those the same Freaky Friday is when she switches bodies
Starting point is 00:41:13 yes okay she switches with Jamie Lee Curtis oh the doors nice oh very good I'll go with oh very good um I'll go with
Starting point is 00:41:29 at first sight oh Jesus buddy boy well done holy fuck yeah alright yeah Tombstone wow he's so good in that.
Starting point is 00:41:45 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.
Starting point is 00:42:02 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.
Starting point is 00:42:24 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
Starting point is 00:42:39 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.
Starting point is 00:42:51 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.
Starting point is 00:43:06 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
Starting point is 00:44:06 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.
Starting point is 00:44:23 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
Starting point is 00:45:05 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.
Starting point is 00:45:47 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.
Starting point is 00:46:02 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.
Starting point is 00:46:17 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
Starting point is 00:46:53 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?
Starting point is 00:47:27 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.
Starting point is 00:48:04 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.
Starting point is 00:48:22 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
Starting point is 00:48:43 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.
Starting point is 00:49:18 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.
Starting point is 00:49:35 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
Starting point is 00:49:52 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.
Starting point is 00:50:07 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.
Starting point is 00:50:48 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
Starting point is 00:51:02 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
Starting point is 00:51:17 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.
Starting point is 00:51:34 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
Starting point is 00:52:02 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
Starting point is 00:52:21 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.
Starting point is 00:52:37 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

Starting point is 00:53:12 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
Starting point is 00:53:35 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
Starting point is 00:54:12 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.
Starting point is 00:54:28 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.
Starting point is 00:54:42 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
Starting point is 00:54:59 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

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.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Now streaming for free. Yeah. That's awesome. Gonna watch that. And Amy Simons She Dies Tomorrow is in drive-ins now. And
Starting point is 00:56:24 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
Starting point is 00:56:53 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
Starting point is 00:57:19 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
Starting point is 00:58:02 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
Starting point is 00:58:19 $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.
Starting point is 00:58:40 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
Starting point is 00:59:05 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
Starting point is 00:59:23 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
Starting point is 00:59:54 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.
Starting point is 01:00:13 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.
